We're all in great moods. How are you doing today?
I'm in a decent mood. The Steelers were winning.
Were they? Yeah, they have an early game.
It's. It's 2421 right now.
Yeah, they're in Ireland, Yeah, which I don't fucking like this
shit, this overseas fucking, youknow.
(00:48):
Who else doesn't like this shit?The backup quarterback to the
Steelers who got mugged Friday night.
Oh yeah, I'm sure he doesn't like this shit at all.
Well, Howard got mugged. No, the other one, the one who's
on do. You have another one.
The other, yeah, the one who's on IR, not the other Will
Howard, the other backup QV all.Right, boys, what are we
(01:08):
drinking today? Water.
Water. That's fun.
Coffee with the splash of makers.
Yeah, I don't feel like drinkingtoday it.
Happens. I drank last night.
What you drink last night? So far.
(01:28):
Did I drink my neighbor? No, I was.
I had. What the fuck did I drink last
night? Eagle Rare, Maker's Mark.
Pursuit United. Oh, then again, it.
(01:49):
Yeah, I was. I was doing all the things last
night. Does this sound like a pigeon?
Does it sound like you're pissing?
No. OK, good.
Are you always trying? No, not that I'm aware of.
I was pouring a drink and I didn't want to be like, so
(02:10):
Marcel went hard in the paint. I haven't drained Beth and the
boys have been gone since Friday.
So. Well, you went in the paint
gently. Hold on, I just realized my
audio is not coming through my fucking headset so that's
(02:32):
pretty. Good.
You good now? Now you just keep talking.
I'll figure the shit out. OK, so.
All right, figured it out. Well done.
Yeah, I'm pretty good at this electronic bullshit that I don't
like. Sorry so far.
(02:55):
So for a long time listeners, wehad a chat and we're trying
something new. We are all on zoom in our own
abodes. I'm glad I messaged Martel
because I was straight heading to your house and you'd have
been like, the hell you doing here?
So I, yeah, I'm like, OK, I thought we were doing this.
(03:15):
That's. What we talked about last last
week was trying to figure out how to do it through teams.
Which fuck teams? Jesus fucking Christ fuck teams
like. All things Microsoft, really.
Like, I don't unders like the whole fact that you have to.
I don't like this pay to use shit like at least Zoom gives
(03:37):
you 40 minutes per per meeting. But for fuck's sake, like it's
ridiculous. It's fucking stupid.
Just fucking. Stupid like everybody wants.
I get it, Everybody needs their money and they all want to go to
the subscription model and blah blah blah.
They fuck all the way off with you.
(03:59):
Everything's going subscription.I know.
Car would be able to start without a subscription.
So it's just just fucking overall on that subscription
model base shit like I pay enough that I with Adobe and
them constant. I don't need it.
I don't, I don't need someone toconstantly update the fucking
(04:21):
app. Like doesn't need to have a
weekly fucking updates. I don't give a shit.
I don't use it to the extent that I need to have weekly
updates on my software. Like let me pay $300, I'll use
version 21 for 20 years of whatever piece of software and
(04:42):
or I'll just pirate the shit because you're just going to
piss me off. You mean you don't?
No, I'm with you. The bug update that's going to
make sure that your clock is accurate to the millisecond.
Yeah, I don't need, I don't needthe 14.
Minutes to download. Yeah, you.
Can edit your atomic clock. Yeah, well, no, it's it's all AI
(05:02):
functionality now. Like I had to go buy a fucking
Mac. Well I had to go buy a new
computer either way. So I end up buying a Mac because
my PC couldn't handle the all the fucking updates they did
like with all the AI shit. And I don't give a shit about
the AI stuff either. Like I'll use.
I barely use any of that stuff, right?
(05:22):
So. Yeah, Adobe.
The only thing I need Adobe to do is edit PDFs or save PDFs or
like bare basics. I don't even have Adobe on this
laptop. I did on my work one because
they paid for it and then they went to something called Nitro
Pro. But you go to the free PDF
(05:43):
editor online, you can find 15 of them easily.
So Mike, I like it when you turnyour head, your nose disappears
and you're just part of the tree.
I don't know why, but just the tip of your nose.
So shall we get started, fellas?Yeah, you what?
You, you got something, don't you?
(06:03):
Not I do, but you got something?The clap.
We're trying something new here today.
I actually have a little story and we've been talking about
shifting gears on the podcast and we still don't know where
we're going with that, but we'llkeep you all posted.
But I have a story about a gentleman from Italy, which
(06:24):
everybody knows. Microphone 98.
Well, the end. Thanks for listening.
You're welcome. But no, it's not composed, Mike,
you Luigi. Mangetti.
Oh, I saw a post the other day we're talking about how the
(06:45):
healthcare industry made like 70or 80 billion last year and
they're denying more people for meds than ever.
And so I said, maybe Luigi wasn't so far off after all.
Yeah. I mean, I don't, I don't, I
don't agree, but I mean, maybe he wasn't.
I don't agree with what he did. Right.
CEO Find out. You're right.
(07:06):
So no, this story is about a a kid named a toilet.
You know I saved my left the toilet.
I saved my best Spanish accent for Italian Bongiorno.
Well, it's all based on Latin, so.
Yeah, so we're going to give a quick rundown of this and it's
kind of crazy life he lived. So a toilet was born in.
(07:31):
Here's where I get real Italian Borga Novo Valtidone, Italy in
1897. So I couldn't find much on his
early early childhood. What's that, Mike?
I said that was a good year. Yeah, it's a It's my favorite.
What? Was the age I couldn't find the
nursery of the war in 1812. There you go.
(07:54):
That's my favorite war. So at the age of 11, he began
working as an apprentice at a local restaurant.
But he was just like peeling potatoes and taking out trash.
He's a dishwasher. He's what I did at Ponderosa for
my first job. So I think, well, second job,
technically roofing was my firstjob.
(08:16):
And I said screw that after one summer.
So I yeah, yeah, 1 summer roofing in the pitch was like
456 or something. We had to, like, tie off and
scale the roof. And now the house burned down.
So all that was for nothing. But at the age of 16, he took a
(08:37):
boat to Ellis Island, New York. He arrived in May of 1914.
So while in New York, he worked in a lot of he started working
these upscale Manhattan restaurants, including the one
at the Ritz Carlton. So he went from washing dishes
in Podunk, Italy, I guess, to the Ritz Carlton.
(09:00):
And then next he joined his brother at the Plaza Hotel.
He started working away from dishes and in the cook, he ended
up making the head chef at the Plaza Hotel.
So while he was there, he oversaw milk prep for Woodrow
Wilson at the White House. They had a homecoming dinner
there that was being served to 2000 plus World War One
(09:22):
soldiers. And he got the call to do this.
So remember, he's still like teenager.
This is still a kid. And now he's at the White House
serving veterans who have foughtWorld War One.
So Editor Ley moved to Cleveland, OH, of all places in
(09:43):
1917, eventually becoming a headchef.
I knew you'd have something to say about that.
And I don't disagree. It kind of shows you with that
region, the Northeast and and eastern region of Ohio, how
prolific it was back in the day.Like you grew up there in the
(10:03):
80s mainly right 80s and 90s. And we part of in the past
musical guest from Steubenville and all this.
So he moves to Cleveland and he started introducing Italian menu
featuring authentic dinners. So in 1924.
You said Italian menu. I thought you said he started
introducing Italian men to authentic dinners.
(10:27):
I mean, it was it was 1917, we're heading to the right 20s.
Things were getting a little crazy, you know?
So in 24, he established his ownrestaurant called I'm going to
screw this up so Bad, the Illinois Giadierno di Italia,
which means the Garden of Italy and being that he's in.
(10:49):
Cleveland, Olive Garden or Di Giornos?
It started Olive Garden in Cleveland, OH in 19 24.
Because when you are there, you are family.
Yeah. He he introduced the world to
unlimited breadsticks. And we're.
Thank you for that end of the show.
I'm good. Bottomless salads.
(11:12):
Dude, we went golfing one time out there at the course that
closed down near you, Martel. Yeah, don't talk to me about
that. That's still a sore subject that
gets brought up almost daily. Dude, that was a great course.
I love that course. We did 2 rounds because after
the turn we were like, we're just buzzing, let's do it again.
And then we went to Olive Gardento stave it off and by the time
(11:35):
our food got there, we'd eaten so much salad and bread sticks.
Everybody just got it to go box.Sounds about right.
So while he's at this, I'm just going to go out the Garden of
Italy restaurant and that he started.
They fell in like customers justwent head over heels for his
dishes and he made this homemadesignature spaghetti sauce.
So back from the old country, you know, the real stuff.
(12:01):
So the customers fell in love with these dishes.
They the request became so greatfor just samples of his recipe
that Enterole began to sell his sauce in milk bottles.
So again, we're talking a different time.
This isn't go get your gallon from Kroger or ALDI or Giant
Eagle or whatever. So this new started Ragu.
(12:23):
Yeah, he he was basically drinking milk, rinsing him out.
Here you go. Enjoy your ragu the way Mama
used to make it. So in 1928, Ed Toledo met a nice
couple. Their names were Maurice and
Eva, and they were customers of his restaurant.
They just kept coming back. They loved his food.
It was all authentic. It was homemade.
(12:44):
It was like nothing they'd ever had before in Ohio back then and
they just happened to own this local self-service grocery store
chain. So they helped Ed Torlee and his
brother Paolo develop a process for canning their sauce and
foods in larger quantities and help with the distribution and
stuff. OK, so in 1938 in.
(13:07):
It always blows my mind reading stories like this because my
great grandpa was born in 1910. So I'm like, my great grandpa
was 28 when this crap happened. Like he he very much could have
been part of the story and we just don't know it.
The production was moved from Cleveland, OH to Milton, PA
where they had grown up tomatoesto serve serve the factories
(13:28):
needs which reached up to 20,000tons of tomatoes every season.
That's. A bit.
That's a lot of not just 20 thousand, 20,000 tons.
They're going by weight at this point.
I've never ever heard tomatoes measured in weight.
And so I studied his story. How else did you measure it?
(13:48):
I don't know, like when I go to the store, I'm like, I guess you
weigh them at the store, right? Yeah, they come in pounds.
That does something. Tons are just, you know, the
variant of a pound. That's that's fair I didn't
think about that way. I'm just at home like hey can we
slice up a tomato? Hey slice me up point OO 7 lbs
(14:10):
of tomato. I just never really thought of
how great 20,000 LB tugs would be.
So when World War 2 broke out in1939, Ettore Lady and Paulo knew
they needed to assist in the wareffort, so they actually started
making brasses for the troops. And by 1942, the plant was
operating around the clock 24/7 to keep up with the demands.
(14:34):
So now they're essentially helping feed our troops on the
front lines. And when they were busy working,
the employees of the plant couldbe seen marching through the
streets of Milton during patriotic parades.
They hoist the banners that readkeep them flying, keep them
rolling, keep them well fed. I know who this is.
I know exactly who this is. I guess.
(14:56):
I think I guess too. OK, good.
Hold it for now. I'm going to hold it, but it's
really Mario and Luigi. This is this is a this is one of
those ones that most people could probably guess, even if
they're listening to probably like I I've heard this before.
It's. Papa John, it's.
(15:16):
Senor John. It's me.
So we've only got a few more points left here.
By the end of the war in 1945, the efforts of everyone had not
gone unnoticed. In 46, the employees gathered
for a celebration as Etterley was awarded the Golden Star, one
of the highest honors A civiliancan receive in honor of the
company's wartime contributions.So when we think of America's
(15:40):
greatest generations, one of thethings I think of is the
bravery. I think of young kids storming
beaches on foreign lands expecting not to make it home.
I don't think of tomatoes, you know, So that kind of that kind
of shows how big of an effort this country was behind the
troops and the movement. But I did quick math.
(16:04):
I asked how many tomatoes are ina ton and it's between 6007
thousand tomatoes. Holy crap.
So 20,000 tons is 130 million tomatoes old.
That's how many tomatoes I used to make salsa.
(16:25):
But no cilantro. No cilantro.
I don't get the cilantro soap thing but I still like.
Can definitely do without it. I'm good with no cilantro.
No, I still eat cilantro. Doesn't bother me it.
Doesn't bother me, I'm just goodwithout it.
I don't need it, especially in agood salsa.
(16:46):
So Ed Torlay was obviously committed to the USA, but also
to his employees. American dream, right?
Coming over from overseas, making a name for yourself and
then paying it back. In order to keep up with those
who are hired for increased production during the war, he
made the difficult but selfless decision to sell the company
rather than to let people go to work so hard to keep the
(17:08):
production going. And after selling the company he
built from the ground up, he continued to operate restaurants
in Cleveland, including one which bore the name Chef
Hector's. Etorlais in America commonly
went by Hector because nobody can pronounce his name so Hector
Etorley. Hector's very Spanish, it's very
(17:30):
like Espanol Latin name. Well, there's that one guy that
was in Fast and Furious and like17 other movies where he plays
Hector in all of. Them he plays Hector in all of
them. Yeah, his characters.
Hector. So really, his name was Hector
this whole time. Hector died of natural causes in
June 21st, 1985. So he died when we were all
(17:53):
born, even me at the age of 87 in a nursing home in Parma.
OH, but his legacy lives on. Martel, you could have visited
this dude when you were a kid. Probably did.
My grandparents probably knew him.
Who knows? Probably they.
Knew everybody. The Carlos probably sourced
their sauce from him. Maybe.
(18:14):
Might have. I mean, this could have been,
they could have gotten their ship.
Farello's could have gotten thisstuff from Chef Hector.
Chef Hector the Italian. So there's even a reference of
him in the 2007 animated comedy comedy drama Ratatatouille.
But they use the name He is mostcommonly known by a name used to
(18:39):
simplify pronunciation of a fullname for non Italians.
Yep. That toilet was commonly called
Hector in the United States, butyou probably know him as.
Jeff Boyardee. Jeff Boyardee.
Chef Boyardee, And that is the story of Spaghettios in your
cabinet. I.
Just started. I just started going through
(18:59):
like, right. It's not Ragu.
It's not, yeah, it's not. It's like, and then when you
said started canning his creations, I was like, it's not
just us. That's motherfucker Beefaroni.
Yeah, which is funny because. Spaghettios is Franco America
and that stuff's trash. Yeah.
Oh, is it I I thought it was chef or 80.
(19:20):
I never you. Know paid attention.
And it's fine, but you got to eat it right out of a can.
Yeah, right. Yeah.
Don't eat that up. You'll ruin it.
Spaghetti. Spaghettios is trash.
It's. Garbled.
That stuff is terrible. The the first meal can that he
made for mass consumption for the troops and all that was
spaghetti, not spaghetti. Oh, spaghetti can't.
(19:43):
Spaghetti. Now they can't.
They turned it into Mr. ES and then did.
Not realize that Chapelier D basically was from Ohio.
I didn't either, but I mean it. It makes sense.
Ohio has had. Up and down the whole East Coast
from Cleveland down through Youngstown, down through
(20:08):
Steubenville in Domingo and downin the Wheeling, that was, it
was a huge Italian population like that whole East Coast.
So there's like there's probablymore Italian restaurants along
that whole area than in than anywhere else in Ohio.
I I wonder too, with him just being allegedly just cook as far
(20:33):
as we know, how much of the influence of his food brought in
the other Italians and the mobsters down the road, you
know? Well, Cleveland had a huge mob
population. Too right, Right.
Yeah, Cleveland, Youngstown, Steubenville had those those
three just had a a big mob presence.
(20:56):
Well, you had access to the lake, which had access to
Canada, so. Yeah, and then you got the
river, which can just move things up and down from
Pittsburgh all the way down to Mississippi if you needed to,
and. Especially back before, you
know, the mass highway system was put into place.
Yeah, that's. Why Ohio is such a hub for
(21:19):
commerce? You get Dean Martin out of
Steubenville who becomes a basically a lounge singer and
part of the Rat Pack, and Frankie is got mob ties.
So then that just ties all that in between Steubenville to
Youngstown. I didn't realize he was from
Steubenville. Yeah, that's kind of Yeah, He's
(21:44):
he's from Steubenville. That was one of the places there
was AI think the building still stands in downtown Steubenville
where there used to be like a lounge for these to hang out.
Very cool. But I haven't been back here
and. Three years and I'm going to
(22:06):
have to try to keep that streak going.
Scared to dream. I just want those places that a
lot of people do hate it and I get it, but it also has a lot of
historical ties to so many things because of the lake,
because of the river, the settlements that were made here,
you know, the trading post in the commerce.
(22:27):
It's really fascinating to look at some of the history of some
of these people and, and how they came to be here and the a
lot of the people born here, famous people or infamous people
are here because it was such a do what?
I said, would you say he's famous?
(22:47):
Yes, yes, O Global. But yeah, it's it's, there's a
lot of history here, good or bad.
There's also a lot of crap Martel will tell you if you ever
want to ask him. Oh, yes, most of Ohio's shit.
Yeah. I just posted something on my
story the other day. It was when you get tired when
(23:10):
you live in Ohio and you get tired of hearing this song, and
it's Sweet Caroline. This dude just fucking grabs
this guy's playing guitars, legsand rips his legs out from
underneath him. It is great.
It's just he's just like, fuck this song.
Hopefully he never goes to a home game in Happy Valley.
(23:31):
100,100 thousand people to RIP their legs out from under.
Well, watching that, did you watch the Ducks Pens game last
night? Penn State game last night.
The the boys and and Beth are going.
I watch college football from 9:00 AM college game day all the
way through that game. Yeah, I.
Mean, I like got a good stuff around here, but yeah.
(23:54):
I stayed up watching that game, going to double overtime.
Yeah, yeah, I did. After that I was out.
But yeah, it was it was a good game, it.
Was an excellent game. That's the way game should be.
Friday night was a good game too.
The Florida State game. I didn't see, yeah, I did kind
(24:14):
of see that one. Oh, that was a great game.
Just just to watch from a like aentertainment standpoint, that
was a great game. It was fun to watch.
I I don't care about either teamForest, they got upset.
But it for any college football fan, your team has to win the
end. It doesn't matter what the other
teams do. If everyone else wins, you've
got to beat them. Whatever.
(24:35):
But it was just an entertaining game.
Yes. So yeah, but that's the story of
Chef Boyardee. Cool.
That's cool. I never knew, yeah.
I never knew the background of it.
So that's kind of what got me. I mean, obviously we all grew up
kind of Chef Boyardee was in commercials and.
(24:57):
That's all I ate. On shelves, yeah, it's just
commonplace, but I'd never heardthe background of it.
Yeah, Beefoli only love the love, the fucking mad.
Ravioli. Yeah.
Beefaroni and ravioli. Yep.
Alright. I just told Liz the other day
I'm like, give me some beefaroni.
And she's like, are you fucking kidding me?
I'm like, no, yes, don't get it.It's like you have that
(25:21):
childhood hankering for it, and then you think about it, you're
like, yeah, probably. Like I told Beth, I said there
were times I missed Spaghettios,but don't take that as a sign to
go buy Spaghettios. Yeah, I just let it be
nostalgia. It's fine.
Yeah, I think. End it there.
I think my mom bought Spaghettios once and my sister
and I just dumped it in the trash.
(25:44):
Oh, I used to. I used to love Spaghettios back
in the day. There's something about the
sauce. It's just not I guess, if
that's. Yeah, I'll give you that.
It's like the knock off. Yeah, if it's what you grew up
with, then you know, great, whatever, I can give you that.
But if you went from Chef Bayardee and you went, yeah,
spaghetti OS are better. We could now Chef Bayardee's
(26:08):
Campbells. It's there.
Campbells should stick to soup. Yeah, that's the.
That's that cool. Now you know.
Now I know. Now Mike knows.
Now I want people around. Now Mike's like, man, I
(26:29):
shouldn't have moved from Ohio. Yeah, how do I was that close to
the source to to Mr. Bully Rd. as I refer to him?
Yeah, Surplus. So they're talking about I got
this fucking thing up, now can Igo back?
Hold on, I'm looking at my team.I've got the game just finished
(26:51):
from. Yeah.
The Steelers. Liking for a second?
Yeah, they did. It was 24 to one in Ireland.
My buddy Ed's over there now. What my college roommate, like
elementary school friend and he's he's over there with his
kids and wife and they went to the game.
(27:12):
But I cannot. I don't like this whole NFL in
overseas thing. So the schedule like the Browns
and the Vikings are playing on the 5th in London.
You're calling it the London Games, the NFL.
Hey, fuck all the way off. He just signed a deal to to be
(27:33):
in Brazil for the next several years, and he also said that
every NFL team is going to have to play overseas.
That's all. That's all fucking horseshit.
Like again this is. I promise he's a ticket holder.
I lose a game. Yeah, exactly.
Like the average fan cannot fly to Brazil or London or Ireland.
(27:56):
We got 10 minutes left. No and I agree like that's and
it's fucking dumb. Like so the 12th is the Broncos
and The Jets. The 19th is LA and the Jaguars.
The November 9th is the Falcons and the Colts and then I can
barely see the 16th. It's the Dolphins, and I think
Washington like the the stupid. Commanders, whatever they are.
(28:23):
Yes, it's Washington and and thethe scrub line for fast
forwarding and rewinding was in the way, but hold on.
They're not even. Hold on, go back again.
Shit, I just realized something else.
So this is the other pisser. Pause motherfucker.
(28:46):
So the Vikings Browns game is inLondon, the Broncos and Jets is
in London, LA and Jaguars is in London, the Falcons and Colts
are in Berlin and then Washington and the Dolphins are
in Madrid. You don't.
Want to see your tits? Sit down.
(29:06):
But like, that's like what is, yeah, you're, if you're a season
ticket holder and you're travelling around the US going
to these, you know, these games,you're losing out on a game,
yeah, maybe two games. I don't know.
Well, it's they call. I mean, it's like having an away
game but both teams lose. No.
(29:28):
Like fans of both teams don't get a go.
Yeah. And like, I understand that like
NFL is becoming international. Like Patrick's a fan of of NFL.
I don't know what team, but I know he's an NFL fan.
Like he watches. I had sent him a text.
I'm like, hey, did you go just because it's in Ireland?
I'm like, hey, did you go, you know, hop a train and go over
these like, fuck no, it's too expensive.
(29:50):
Yeah, I've seen a lot of influencers that go to the games
in the stadiums are packed like they're nuts for it.
This stadium was This stadium was 100% full, like at capacity,
standing room only. Like Ireland's no bigger than
like the village of Carroll. Like the entire country is
(30:12):
smaller than the village of Carroll.
Yeah. And.
They've got, they had 77,000 people there.
I yeah, just watching the game. I heard them announce it.
It's. Like what the fuck?
You know that the tickets are ata premium.
So if that's the case, right? So if that's the case, OK, NFL,
you want to do this thing, startcreating teams like a European
(30:34):
league. I think that's what they're, I
think that's what they're going for.
Like, do a European league, do aSouth American league, do you
know an Asian league? Did they?
Try that. At one point I feel like there
was a European Football League at one point.
There was, but it's not like theLondon.
Dragons and shit. No, there.
Yeah, Martel's right. There is still a European
(30:55):
league, but it's just like with with a basketball, you you don't
make the cut in basketball. You go play in China, you go
play in Europe. But if you recover, you get good
enough, you can come back. So I think that's what they're
trying to do is build a pool where these guys can still go
play, get paid and maybe make itback to the big stage.
Like what's spot on with that? But the.
(31:17):
NFL, though, it's whoever. Right, Right.
That's what I thought. I'm saying that I'm agreeing
with you that the NFL is trying to create that.
Yeah. So just do it then don't take
away like I'm on a I'm on a kickright now where I'm I'm getting
tired of seeing shit go over to seas, whether it be football
games, jobs, other shit like then then as far as I'm
(31:42):
concerned, this was jobs going overseas too.
So. It's a lot of jobs, really.
I mean, it costs money to go play in those stadiums too.
Yeah, I mean it. Whatever.
Anyway, I'm off my high horse now.
Now I'm on a low horse. Just a.
Just a. Little just a little follow.
(32:05):
So all right, I don't know how much time we have left.
We got a 10 minute warning and Idon't see a warning on my screen
anymore. I don't see anything we.
Got to be pretty. Close.
So we're probably close. So all right, check us out on
Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.Oh it's a good the substagram.
I assumed we stopped recording, sorry.
(32:25):
No, no, we I want to get it in there before it goes oh, by the
way, it just acts as the the feed.
We don't know if we'll be here next week or not, so stay tuned.
Well, we. In in whatever remaining time we
have, we may make some changes. When you're probably going to
end up just nixing the show all together go to a a monthly show
(32:47):
under a different name will keepeverybody informed on what the
hell that's going to be and how that's going to work.
But it's just not the show is not as lucrative in in doing
like four people are listening. Jason, Derek, Mike's brother.
(33:09):
My cousin, I think. Your cousin and MO.
OK. So five, Yeah.
And they'll come out with us. Yeah, Johnny's not listening,
but he's busy as shit. Like I still, I still text him.
I mean, we text each other at least once twice a week.
So it's just so we're going to, we're going to make some changes
and see how things work. I'm also getting tired of this
(33:31):
show, but I've been tired of theshow for a minute.
So do you like the new kind of format idea?
I like the once a month idea because then that's less work
that I have to do. Fair enough.
I don't disagree, no. So I'm I'm good with the one I'm
I'm right now I'm good with the months once a month.
(33:52):
Well, we can talk later this week or something and figure it
out, see where we really want togo with it.
But if we keep it, if we keep itunder 40 minutes and we can
continue to do Zoom, we don't need recording software like
because it's all recorded through here.
Like the quality is not terrible.
No, it's not. It's as long as everybody, you
(34:16):
know, As long as everybody's cameras and mics work, it's
fine. You.
May be able to use your your Airpods mic.
Yeah, and. Then.
I went without earbuds today. Yeah, it's a little tinny and
active way on your side, but that also comes with.
(34:39):
Who? Maybe we'll do a Zoom later this
week and figure out where we want to go, get things more
solidified and we'll test thingsout.
Sure. Yeah, we can do that too.
Yeah, let's do that. Let's let's try that sometime
later this week. Damn.
It all right. Guys, we can learn about Chef
Boyardee all over again. Yay.
It's me audio. Luigi Mangetti.
(35:03):
Good for a show. You know that's his real name
but or if I'm pronouncing his last name properly, but it
works. Fuck around and find out.
Yep, it. Works for me.
Cool. Hey, guys.
All right. I'm going to go buy silverware.
I'm go watch another football game.
(35:23):
Yeah, I'm going to go watch football and maybe get some to
eat. I haven't eaten yet today, so
lunchtime. Yeah, I'm going to do that too.
So cool if that saves down to your machine, Mike, Yeah, just
log into the Google, into GoogleDrive through the Buckhorn and
just upload it there and shoot me a message and I can grab it
from there. Sure, because I don't know where
(35:44):
it's going to save it to once it's done.
Yeah, I'll find that out, so. Are we getting this far out?
No, I'm going to leave it all in.
OK. It's thrilling and entertaining.
That's totally fine if we're going to call for an hour talk
later.
Erica recording in progress. All right, so we're just going
to do the regular show then or? Yeah, whatever.
The Buck One podcast, I'm Mark Town.
With me always is Mike and Randyand Zoom.
Zoom. We are in Zoom.
We are we're zooming. You like 2 idiots and a Mormon?
(00:25):
A celibate Mormon? You're at the right spot.
We're all in great moods. How are you doing today?
I'm in a decent mood. The Steelers were winning.
Were they? Yeah, they have an early game.
It's. It's 2421 right now.
Yeah, they're in Ireland, Yeah, which I don't fucking like this
shit, this overseas fucking, youknow.
(00:48):
Who else doesn't like this shit?The backup quarterback to the
Steelers who got mugged Friday night.
Oh yeah, I'm sure he doesn't like this shit at all.
Well, Howard got mugged. No, the other one, the one who's
on do. You have another one.
The other, yeah, the one who's on IR, not the other Will
Howard, the other backup QV all.Right, boys, what are we
(01:08):
drinking today? Water.
Water. That's fun.
Coffee with the splash of makers.
Yeah, I don't feel like drinkingtoday it.
Happens. I drank last night.
What you drink last night? So far.
(01:28):
Did I drink my neighbor? No, I was.
I had. What the fuck did I drink last
night? Eagle Rare, Maker's Mark.
Pursuit United. Oh, then again, it.
(01:49):
Yeah, I was. I was doing all the things last
night. Does this sound like a pigeon?
Does it sound like you're pissing?
No. OK, good.
Are you always trying? No, not that I'm aware of.
I was pouring a drink and I didn't want to be like, so
(02:10):
Marcel went hard in the paint. I haven't drained Beth and the
boys have been gone since Friday.
So. Well, you went in the paint
gently. Hold on, I just realized my
audio is not coming through my fucking headset so that's
(02:32):
pretty. Good.
You good now? Now you just keep talking.
I'll figure the shit out. OK, so.
All right, figured it out. Well done.
Yeah, I'm pretty good at this electronic bullshit that I don't
like. Sorry so far.
(02:55):
So for a long time listeners, wehad a chat and we're trying
something new. We are all on zoom in our own
abodes. I'm glad I messaged Martel
because I was straight heading to your house and you'd have
been like, the hell you doing here?
So I, yeah, I'm like, OK, I thought we were doing this.
(03:15):
That's. What we talked about last last
week was trying to figure out how to do it through teams.
Which fuck teams? Jesus fucking Christ fuck teams
like. All things Microsoft, really.
Like, I don't unders like the whole fact that you have to.
I don't like this pay to use shit like at least Zoom gives
(03:37):
you 40 minutes per per meeting. But for fuck's sake, like it's
ridiculous. It's fucking stupid.
Just fucking. Stupid like everybody wants.
I get it, Everybody needs their money and they all want to go to
the subscription model and blah blah blah.
They fuck all the way off with you.
(03:59):
Everything's going subscription.I know.
Car would be able to start without a subscription.
So it's just just fucking overall on that subscription
model base shit like I pay enough that I with Adobe and
them constant. I don't need it.
I don't, I don't need someone toconstantly update the fucking
(04:21):
app. Like doesn't need to have a
weekly fucking updates. I don't give a shit.
I don't use it to the extent that I need to have weekly
updates on my software. Like let me pay $300, I'll use
version 21 for 20 years of whatever piece of software and
(04:42):
or I'll just pirate the shit because you're just going to
piss me off. You mean you don't?
No, I'm with you. The bug update that's going to
make sure that your clock is accurate to the millisecond.
Yeah, I don't need, I don't needthe 14.
Minutes to download. Yeah, you.
Can edit your atomic clock. Yeah, well, no, it's it's all AI
(05:02):
functionality now. Like I had to go buy a fucking
Mac. Well I had to go buy a new
computer either way. So I end up buying a Mac because
my PC couldn't handle the all the fucking updates they did
like with all the AI shit. And I don't give a shit about
the AI stuff either. Like I'll use.
I barely use any of that stuff, right?
(05:22):
So. Yeah, Adobe.
The only thing I need Adobe to do is edit PDFs or save PDFs or
like bare basics. I don't even have Adobe on this
laptop. I did on my work one because
they paid for it and then they went to something called Nitro
Pro. But you go to the free PDF
(05:43):
editor online, you can find 15 of them easily.
So Mike, I like it when you turnyour head, your nose disappears
and you're just part of the tree.
I don't know why, but just the tip of your nose.
So shall we get started, fellas?Yeah, you what?
You, you got something, don't you?
(06:03):
Not I do, but you got something?The clap.
We're trying something new here today.
I actually have a little story and we've been talking about
shifting gears on the podcast and we still don't know where
we're going with that, but we'llkeep you all posted.
But I have a story about a gentleman from Italy, which
(06:24):
everybody knows. Microphone 98.
Well, the end. Thanks for listening.
You're welcome. But no, it's not composed, Mike,
you Luigi. Mangetti.
Oh, I saw a post the other day we're talking about how the
(06:45):
healthcare industry made like 70or 80 billion last year and
they're denying more people for meds than ever.
And so I said, maybe Luigi wasn't so far off after all.
Yeah. I mean, I don't, I don't, I
don't agree, but I mean, maybe he wasn't.
I don't agree with what he did. Right.
CEO Find out. You're right.
(07:06):
So no, this story is about a a kid named a toilet.
You know I saved my left the toilet.
I saved my best Spanish accent for Italian Bongiorno.
Well, it's all based on Latin, so.
Yeah, so we're going to give a quick rundown of this and it's
kind of crazy life he lived. So a toilet was born in.
(07:31):
Here's where I get real Italian Borga Novo Valtidone, Italy in
1897. So I couldn't find much on his
early early childhood. What's that, Mike?
I said that was a good year. Yeah, it's a It's my favorite.
What? Was the age I couldn't find the
nursery of the war in 1812. There you go.
(07:54):
That's my favorite war. So at the age of 11, he began
working as an apprentice at a local restaurant.
But he was just like peeling potatoes and taking out trash.
He's a dishwasher. He's what I did at Ponderosa for
my first job. So I think, well, second job,
technically roofing was my firstjob.
(08:16):
And I said screw that after one summer.
So I yeah, yeah, 1 summer roofing in the pitch was like
456 or something. We had to, like, tie off and
scale the roof. And now the house burned down.
So all that was for nothing. But at the age of 16, he took a
(08:37):
boat to Ellis Island, New York. He arrived in May of 1914.
So while in New York, he worked in a lot of he started working
these upscale Manhattan restaurants, including the one
at the Ritz Carlton. So he went from washing dishes
in Podunk, Italy, I guess, to the Ritz Carlton.
(09:00):
And then next he joined his brother at the Plaza Hotel.
He started working away from dishes and in the cook, he ended
up making the head chef at the Plaza Hotel.
So while he was there, he oversaw milk prep for Woodrow
Wilson at the White House. They had a homecoming dinner
there that was being served to 2000 plus World War One
(09:22):
soldiers. And he got the call to do this.
So remember, he's still like teenager.
This is still a kid. And now he's at the White House
serving veterans who have foughtWorld War One.
So Editor Ley moved to Cleveland, OH, of all places in
(09:43):
1917, eventually becoming a headchef.
I knew you'd have something to say about that.
And I don't disagree. It kind of shows you with that
region, the Northeast and and eastern region of Ohio, how
prolific it was back in the day.Like you grew up there in the
(10:03):
80s mainly right 80s and 90s. And we part of in the past
musical guest from Steubenville and all this.
So he moves to Cleveland and he started introducing Italian menu
featuring authentic dinners. So in 1924.
You said Italian menu. I thought you said he started
introducing Italian men to authentic dinners.
(10:27):
I mean, it was it was 1917, we're heading to the right 20s.
Things were getting a little crazy, you know?
So in 24, he established his ownrestaurant called I'm going to
screw this up so Bad, the Illinois Giadierno di Italia,
which means the Garden of Italy and being that he's in.
(10:49):
Cleveland, Olive Garden or Di Giornos?
It started Olive Garden in Cleveland, OH in 19 24.
Because when you are there, you are family.
Yeah. He he introduced the world to
unlimited breadsticks. And we're.
Thank you for that end of the show.
I'm good. Bottomless salads.
(11:12):
Dude, we went golfing one time out there at the course that
closed down near you, Martel. Yeah, don't talk to me about
that. That's still a sore subject that
gets brought up almost daily. Dude, that was a great course.
I love that course. We did 2 rounds because after
the turn we were like, we're just buzzing, let's do it again.
And then we went to Olive Gardento stave it off and by the time
(11:35):
our food got there, we'd eaten so much salad and bread sticks.
Everybody just got it to go box.Sounds about right.
So while he's at this, I'm just going to go out the Garden of
Italy restaurant and that he started.
They fell in like customers justwent head over heels for his
dishes and he made this homemadesignature spaghetti sauce.
So back from the old country, you know, the real stuff.
(12:01):
So the customers fell in love with these dishes.
They the request became so greatfor just samples of his recipe
that Enterole began to sell his sauce in milk bottles.
So again, we're talking a different time.
This isn't go get your gallon from Kroger or ALDI or Giant
Eagle or whatever. So this new started Ragu.
(12:23):
Yeah, he he was basically drinking milk, rinsing him out.
Here you go. Enjoy your ragu the way Mama
used to make it. So in 1928, Ed Toledo met a nice
couple. Their names were Maurice and
Eva, and they were customers of his restaurant.
They just kept coming back. They loved his food.
It was all authentic. It was homemade.
(12:44):
It was like nothing they'd ever had before in Ohio back then and
they just happened to own this local self-service grocery store
chain. So they helped Ed Torlee and his
brother Paolo develop a process for canning their sauce and
foods in larger quantities and help with the distribution and
stuff. OK, so in 1938 in.
(13:07):
It always blows my mind reading stories like this because my
great grandpa was born in 1910. So I'm like, my great grandpa
was 28 when this crap happened. Like he he very much could have
been part of the story and we just don't know it.
The production was moved from Cleveland, OH to Milton, PA
where they had grown up tomatoesto serve serve the factories
(13:28):
needs which reached up to 20,000tons of tomatoes every season.
That's. A bit.
That's a lot of not just 20 thousand, 20,000 tons.
They're going by weight at this point.
I've never ever heard tomatoes measured in weight.
And so I studied his story. How else did you measure it?
(13:48):
I don't know, like when I go to the store, I'm like, I guess you
weigh them at the store, right? Yeah, they come in pounds.
That does something. Tons are just, you know, the
variant of a pound. That's that's fair I didn't
think about that way. I'm just at home like hey can we
slice up a tomato? Hey slice me up point OO 7 lbs
(14:10):
of tomato. I just never really thought of
how great 20,000 LB tugs would be.
So when World War 2 broke out in1939, Ettore Lady and Paulo knew
they needed to assist in the wareffort, so they actually started
making brasses for the troops. And by 1942, the plant was
operating around the clock 24/7 to keep up with the demands.
(14:34):
So now they're essentially helping feed our troops on the
front lines. And when they were busy working,
the employees of the plant couldbe seen marching through the
streets of Milton during patriotic parades.
They hoist the banners that readkeep them flying, keep them
rolling, keep them well fed. I know who this is.
I know exactly who this is. I guess.
(14:56):
I think I guess too. OK, good.
Hold it for now. I'm going to hold it, but it's
really Mario and Luigi. This is this is a this is one of
those ones that most people could probably guess, even if
they're listening to probably like I I've heard this before.
It's. Papa John, it's.
(15:16):
Senor John. It's me.
So we've only got a few more points left here.
By the end of the war in 1945, the efforts of everyone had not
gone unnoticed. In 46, the employees gathered
for a celebration as Etterley was awarded the Golden Star, one
of the highest honors A civiliancan receive in honor of the
company's wartime contributions.So when we think of America's
(15:40):
greatest generations, one of thethings I think of is the
bravery. I think of young kids storming
beaches on foreign lands expecting not to make it home.
I don't think of tomatoes, you know, So that kind of that kind
of shows how big of an effort this country was behind the
troops and the movement. But I did quick math.
(16:04):
I asked how many tomatoes are ina ton and it's between 6007
thousand tomatoes. Holy crap.
So 20,000 tons is 130 million tomatoes old.
That's how many tomatoes I used to make salsa.
(16:25):
But no cilantro. No cilantro.
I don't get the cilantro soap thing but I still like.
Can definitely do without it. I'm good with no cilantro.
No, I still eat cilantro. Doesn't bother me it.
Doesn't bother me, I'm just goodwithout it.
I don't need it, especially in agood salsa.
(16:46):
So Ed Torlay was obviously committed to the USA, but also
to his employees. American dream, right?
Coming over from overseas, making a name for yourself and
then paying it back. In order to keep up with those
who are hired for increased production during the war, he
made the difficult but selfless decision to sell the company
rather than to let people go to work so hard to keep the
(17:08):
production going. And after selling the company he
built from the ground up, he continued to operate restaurants
in Cleveland, including one which bore the name Chef
Hector's. Etorlais in America commonly
went by Hector because nobody can pronounce his name so Hector
Etorley. Hector's very Spanish, it's very
(17:30):
like Espanol Latin name. Well, there's that one guy that
was in Fast and Furious and like17 other movies where he plays
Hector in all of. Them he plays Hector in all of
them. Yeah, his characters.
Hector. So really, his name was Hector
this whole time. Hector died of natural causes in
June 21st, 1985. So he died when we were all
(17:53):
born, even me at the age of 87 in a nursing home in Parma.
OH, but his legacy lives on. Martel, you could have visited
this dude when you were a kid. Probably did.
My grandparents probably knew him.
Who knows? Probably they.
Knew everybody. The Carlos probably sourced
their sauce from him. Maybe.
(18:14):
Might have. I mean, this could have been,
they could have gotten their ship.
Farello's could have gotten thisstuff from Chef Hector.
Chef Hector the Italian. So there's even a reference of
him in the 2007 animated comedy comedy drama Ratatatouille.
But they use the name He is mostcommonly known by a name used to
(18:39):
simplify pronunciation of a fullname for non Italians.
Yep. That toilet was commonly called
Hector in the United States, butyou probably know him as.
Jeff Boyardee. Jeff Boyardee.
Chef Boyardee, And that is the story of Spaghettios in your
cabinet. I.
Just started. I just started going through
(18:59):
like, right. It's not Ragu.
It's not, yeah, it's not. It's like, and then when you
said started canning his creations, I was like, it's not
just us. That's motherfucker Beefaroni.
Yeah, which is funny because. Spaghettios is Franco America
and that stuff's trash. Yeah.
Oh, is it I I thought it was chef or 80.
(19:20):
I never you. Know paid attention.
And it's fine, but you got to eat it right out of a can.
Yeah, right. Yeah.
Don't eat that up. You'll ruin it.
Spaghetti. Spaghettios is trash.
It's. Garbled.
That stuff is terrible. The the first meal can that he
made for mass consumption for the troops and all that was
spaghetti, not spaghetti. Oh, spaghetti can't.
(19:43):
Spaghetti. Now they can't.
They turned it into Mr. ES and then did.
Not realize that Chapelier D basically was from Ohio.
I didn't either, but I mean it. It makes sense.
Ohio has had. Up and down the whole East Coast
from Cleveland down through Youngstown, down through
(20:08):
Steubenville in Domingo and downin the Wheeling, that was, it
was a huge Italian population like that whole East Coast.
So there's like there's probablymore Italian restaurants along
that whole area than in than anywhere else in Ohio.
I I wonder too, with him just being allegedly just cook as far
(20:33):
as we know, how much of the influence of his food brought in
the other Italians and the mobsters down the road, you
know? Well, Cleveland had a huge mob
population. Too right, Right.
Yeah, Cleveland, Youngstown, Steubenville had those those
three just had a a big mob presence.
(20:56):
Well, you had access to the lake, which had access to
Canada, so. Yeah, and then you got the
river, which can just move things up and down from
Pittsburgh all the way down to Mississippi if you needed to,
and. Especially back before, you
know, the mass highway system was put into place.
Yeah, that's. Why Ohio is such a hub for
(21:19):
commerce? You get Dean Martin out of
Steubenville who becomes a basically a lounge singer and
part of the Rat Pack, and Frankie is got mob ties.
So then that just ties all that in between Steubenville to
Youngstown. I didn't realize he was from
Steubenville. Yeah, that's kind of Yeah, He's
(21:44):
he's from Steubenville. That was one of the places there
was AI think the building still stands in downtown Steubenville
where there used to be like a lounge for these to hang out.
Very cool. But I haven't been back here
and. Three years and I'm going to
(22:06):
have to try to keep that streak going.
Scared to dream. I just want those places that a
lot of people do hate it and I get it, but it also has a lot of
historical ties to so many things because of the lake,
because of the river, the settlements that were made here,
you know, the trading post in the commerce.
(22:27):
It's really fascinating to look at some of the history of some
of these people and, and how they came to be here and the a
lot of the people born here, famous people or infamous people
are here because it was such a do what?
I said, would you say he's famous?
(22:47):
Yes, yes, O Global. But yeah, it's it's, there's a
lot of history here, good or bad.
There's also a lot of crap Martel will tell you if you ever
want to ask him. Oh, yes, most of Ohio's shit.
Yeah. I just posted something on my
story the other day. It was when you get tired when
(23:10):
you live in Ohio and you get tired of hearing this song, and
it's Sweet Caroline. This dude just fucking grabs
this guy's playing guitars, legsand rips his legs out from
underneath him. It is great.
It's just he's just like, fuck this song.
Hopefully he never goes to a home game in Happy Valley.
(23:31):
100,100 thousand people to RIP their legs out from under.
Well, watching that, did you watch the Ducks Pens game last
night? Penn State game last night.
The the boys and and Beth are going.
I watch college football from 9:00 AM college game day all the
way through that game. Yeah, I.
Mean, I like got a good stuff around here, but yeah.
(23:54):
I stayed up watching that game, going to double overtime.
Yeah, yeah, I did. After that I was out.
But yeah, it was it was a good game, it.
Was an excellent game. That's the way game should be.
Friday night was a good game too.
The Florida State game. I didn't see, yeah, I did kind
(24:14):
of see that one. Oh, that was a great game.
Just just to watch from a like aentertainment standpoint, that
was a great game. It was fun to watch.
I I don't care about either teamForest, they got upset.
But it for any college football fan, your team has to win the
end. It doesn't matter what the other
teams do. If everyone else wins, you've
got to beat them. Whatever.
(24:35):
But it was just an entertaining game.
Yes. So yeah, but that's the story of
Chef Boyardee. Cool.
That's cool. I never knew, yeah.
I never knew the background of it.
So that's kind of what got me. I mean, obviously we all grew up
kind of Chef Boyardee was in commercials and.
(24:57):
That's all I ate. On shelves, yeah, it's just
commonplace, but I'd never heardthe background of it.
Yeah, Beefoli only love the love, the fucking mad.
Ravioli. Yeah.
Beefaroni and ravioli. Yep.
Alright. I just told Liz the other day
I'm like, give me some beefaroni.
And she's like, are you fucking kidding me?
I'm like, no, yes, don't get it.It's like you have that
(25:21):
childhood hankering for it, and then you think about it, you're
like, yeah, probably. Like I told Beth, I said there
were times I missed Spaghettios,but don't take that as a sign to
go buy Spaghettios. Yeah, I just let it be
nostalgia. It's fine.
Yeah, I think. End it there.
I think my mom bought Spaghettios once and my sister
and I just dumped it in the trash.
(25:44):
Oh, I used to. I used to love Spaghettios back
in the day. There's something about the
sauce. It's just not I guess, if
that's. Yeah, I'll give you that.
It's like the knock off. Yeah, if it's what you grew up
with, then you know, great, whatever, I can give you that.
But if you went from Chef Bayardee and you went, yeah,
spaghetti OS are better. We could now Chef Bayardee's
(26:08):
Campbells. It's there.
Campbells should stick to soup. Yeah, that's the.
That's that cool. Now you know.
Now I know. Now Mike knows.
Now I want people around. Now Mike's like, man, I
(26:29):
shouldn't have moved from Ohio. Yeah, how do I was that close to
the source to to Mr. Bully Rd. as I refer to him?
Yeah, Surplus. So they're talking about I got
this fucking thing up, now can Igo back?
Hold on, I'm looking at my team.I've got the game just finished
(26:51):
from. Yeah.
The Steelers. Liking for a second?
Yeah, they did. It was 24 to one in Ireland.
My buddy Ed's over there now. What my college roommate, like
elementary school friend and he's he's over there with his
kids and wife and they went to the game.
(27:12):
But I cannot. I don't like this whole NFL in
overseas thing. So the schedule like the Browns
and the Vikings are playing on the 5th in London.
You're calling it the London Games, the NFL.
Hey, fuck all the way off. He just signed a deal to to be
(27:33):
in Brazil for the next several years, and he also said that
every NFL team is going to have to play overseas.
That's all. That's all fucking horseshit.
Like again this is. I promise he's a ticket holder.
I lose a game. Yeah, exactly.
Like the average fan cannot fly to Brazil or London or Ireland.
(27:56):
We got 10 minutes left. No and I agree like that's and
it's fucking dumb. Like so the 12th is the Broncos
and The Jets. The 19th is LA and the Jaguars.
The November 9th is the Falcons and the Colts and then I can
barely see the 16th. It's the Dolphins, and I think
Washington like the the stupid. Commanders, whatever they are.
(28:23):
Yes, it's Washington and and thethe scrub line for fast
forwarding and rewinding was in the way, but hold on.
They're not even. Hold on, go back again.
Shit, I just realized something else.
So this is the other pisser. Pause motherfucker.
(28:46):
So the Vikings Browns game is inLondon, the Broncos and Jets is
in London, LA and Jaguars is in London, the Falcons and Colts
are in Berlin and then Washington and the Dolphins are
in Madrid. You don't.
Want to see your tits? Sit down.
(29:06):
But like, that's like what is, yeah, you're, if you're a season
ticket holder and you're travelling around the US going
to these, you know, these games,you're losing out on a game,
yeah, maybe two games. I don't know.
Well, it's they call. I mean, it's like having an away
game but both teams lose. No.
(29:28):
Like fans of both teams don't get a go.
Yeah. And like, I understand that like
NFL is becoming international. Like Patrick's a fan of of NFL.
I don't know what team, but I know he's an NFL fan.
Like he watches. I had sent him a text.
I'm like, hey, did you go just because it's in Ireland?
I'm like, hey, did you go, you know, hop a train and go over
these like, fuck no, it's too expensive.
(29:50):
Yeah, I've seen a lot of influencers that go to the games
in the stadiums are packed like they're nuts for it.
This stadium was This stadium was 100% full, like at capacity,
standing room only. Like Ireland's no bigger than
like the village of Carroll. Like the entire country is
(30:12):
smaller than the village of Carroll.
Yeah. And.
They've got, they had 77,000 people there.
I yeah, just watching the game. I heard them announce it.
It's. Like what the fuck?
You know that the tickets are ata premium.
So if that's the case, right? So if that's the case, OK, NFL,
you want to do this thing, startcreating teams like a European
(30:34):
league. I think that's what they're, I
think that's what they're going for.
Like, do a European league, do aSouth American league, do you
know an Asian league? Did they?
Try that. At one point I feel like there
was a European Football League at one point.
There was, but it's not like theLondon.
Dragons and shit. No, there.
Yeah, Martel's right. There is still a European
(30:55):
league, but it's just like with with a basketball, you you don't
make the cut in basketball. You go play in China, you go
play in Europe. But if you recover, you get good
enough, you can come back. So I think that's what they're
trying to do is build a pool where these guys can still go
play, get paid and maybe make itback to the big stage.
Like what's spot on with that? But the.
(31:17):
NFL, though, it's whoever. Right, Right.
That's what I thought. I'm saying that I'm agreeing
with you that the NFL is trying to create that.
Yeah. So just do it then don't take
away like I'm on a I'm on a kickright now where I'm I'm getting
tired of seeing shit go over to seas, whether it be football
games, jobs, other shit like then then as far as I'm
(31:42):
concerned, this was jobs going overseas too.
So. It's a lot of jobs, really.
I mean, it costs money to go play in those stadiums too.
Yeah, I mean it. Whatever.
Anyway, I'm off my high horse now.
Now I'm on a low horse. Just a.
Just a. Little just a little follow.
(32:05):
So all right, I don't know how much time we have left.
We got a 10 minute warning and Idon't see a warning on my screen
anymore. I don't see anything we.
Got to be pretty. Close.
So we're probably close. So all right, check us out on
Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.Oh it's a good the substagram.
I assumed we stopped recording, sorry.
(32:25):
No, no, we I want to get it in there before it goes oh, by the
way, it just acts as the the feed.
We don't know if we'll be here next week or not, so stay tuned.
Well, we. In in whatever remaining time we
have, we may make some changes. When you're probably going to
end up just nixing the show all together go to a a monthly show
(32:47):
under a different name will keepeverybody informed on what the
hell that's going to be and how that's going to work.
But it's just not the show is not as lucrative in in doing
like four people are listening. Jason, Derek, Mike's brother.
(33:09):
My cousin, I think. Your cousin and MO.
OK. So five, Yeah.
And they'll come out with us. Yeah, Johnny's not listening,
but he's busy as shit. Like I still, I still text him.
I mean, we text each other at least once twice a week.
So it's just so we're going to, we're going to make some changes
and see how things work. I'm also getting tired of this
(33:31):
show, but I've been tired of theshow for a minute.
So do you like the new kind of format idea?
I like the once a month idea because then that's less work
that I have to do. Fair enough.
I don't disagree, no. So I'm I'm good with the one I'm
I'm right now I'm good with the months once a month.
(33:52):
Well, we can talk later this week or something and figure it
out, see where we really want togo with it.
But if we keep it, if we keep itunder 40 minutes and we can
continue to do Zoom, we don't need recording software like
because it's all recorded through here.
Like the quality is not terrible.
No, it's not. It's as long as everybody, you
(34:16):
know, As long as everybody's cameras and mics work, it's
fine. You.
May be able to use your your Airpods mic.
Yeah, and. Then.
I went without earbuds today. Yeah, it's a little tinny and
active way on your side, but that also comes with.
(34:39):
Who? Maybe we'll do a Zoom later this
week and figure out where we want to go, get things more
solidified and we'll test thingsout.
Sure. Yeah, we can do that too.
Yeah, let's do that. Let's let's try that sometime
later this week. Damn.
It all right. Guys, we can learn about Chef
Boyardee all over again. Yay.
It's me audio. Luigi Mangetti.
(35:03):
Good for a show. You know that's his real name
but or if I'm pronouncing his last name properly, but it
works. Fuck around and find out.
Yep, it. Works for me.
Cool. Hey, guys.
All right. I'm going to go buy silverware.
I'm go watch another football game.
(35:23):
Yeah, I'm going to go watch football and maybe get some to
eat. I haven't eaten yet today, so
lunchtime. Yeah, I'm going to do that too.
So cool if that saves down to your machine, Mike, Yeah, just
log into the Google, into GoogleDrive through the Buckhorn and
just upload it there and shoot me a message and I can grab it
from there. Sure, because I don't know where
(35:44):
it's going to save it to once it's done.
Yeah, I'll find that out, so. Are we getting this far out?
No, I'm going to leave it all in.
OK. It's thrilling and entertaining.
That's totally fine if we're going to call for an hour talk
later.
