Speaker 3 (02:56):
There we go. That's how we do it. That's how
we do it. What is going on?

Speaker 4 (03:01):
Guys?

Speaker 3 (03:02):
You're checking out an all new wrestling with the topics
in the Flesh. Lee Sanders joined along with the Beautiful
and the Lovely temis Sanders. Hello, I like this so
little fun trivia for Youhan and everybody else. You know,

(03:23):
this is the second time in show history that we
are doing this show live in a way where you
guys can actually see us. Does that sound about right
to you that this is a second show?

Speaker 5 (03:44):
Yeah? Yeah, I think so.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
It's kind of one of those. Now some listeners are
going to go, why is that, Lee, Why is it
that this is only like the second show, because like,
we've been doing this show almost as long as the
RCWR show, because that launched in twenty eleven and then
this show followed up what maybe a year or two

(04:09):
later or does it seem like maybe three years later?

Speaker 4 (04:14):
I don't remember exactly when we' wrestling with the topics
as far as what year, but it's definitely been eighty
percent of you know, the same time as when the
RCWR show started, So I would say probably a year
or two after.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
Yeah, that sounds about right, you know what. Forgive me,
I didn't even check to see if people can hear
not just me, but they can hear you as well.
Let me just make sure. Yeah, okay, so that's good.
I can hear myself say something, honey, Hello, keep talking?

Speaker 5 (04:56):
Yeah, how is everyone doing this? Lovely?

Speaker 4 (05:03):
Sunday Daylight Savings time, and I keep looking at the
clock guys, just to you know, Oh it's that time.
Oh good, I have another hour. So you know, I
hope y'all had a good time getting that extra hour.
You know.

Speaker 5 (05:19):
Now if you have furry friends, you know you can't
get that right.

Speaker 4 (05:24):
Like it's like, well, your clock says it's this time,
and my stomach's it's eight.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
It's funny you say that because I saw an image
of a cat and I think I ended up saving you.
It's a little cartoon of a cat and it says
changing your clocks does not change my dinner time.

Speaker 5 (05:48):
Yeah. I either shared it or saved it. I can't
remember which.

Speaker 3 (05:51):
Here it is, was this it?

Speaker 5 (05:54):
Yep, that's the one.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
I love how he looks like Garfield.

Speaker 5 (06:04):
He really knows lazagnya Lazagna Lazagna.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
I love the new commercial that they got running around.
I don't know if you've seen it, but they've got
what's the human's name, John John? Have you seen the
commercial where they got John and Garfield at a veterinarian's
office and the doctor is like Lazagna and John's going

(06:34):
Lasagna and the doctor's like lasagna and Garfield's on the
table and he's just sitting on the table. When he's
patting his belly, it doesn't ring a bell. No, it's
a new commercial. They brought it out within the last
like three months, I think maybe a little bit longer.
It's so funny ass commercial because Garfield doesn't say anything.

(06:56):
He's just sitting on the table and he's just a
big old surmount in his face and he's just patting
his bell. It's freaking it's freaking hilarious. Man. Why is it, though,
like we've only done now two shows where our face
is like everybody's used to seeing my face because I've
done so many shows during the week. Uh, do we

(07:16):
have necessarily an excuse for why you don't show your
face enough on the shows?

Speaker 4 (07:24):
Well, generally most of the time on a Sunday, guys,
you know, when Lee is asking me to do the show,
it's going, yeah, okay, And I don't necessarily feel like
getting in clothes and doing the whole thing.

Speaker 5 (07:46):
And but today was you know, not that I have
makeup on.

Speaker 4 (07:50):
But and the funny thing was earlier I met with
my mom and she was like, oh, did you go
to work today? I said, I know, I look like
I went to work and you know, my usual work clothes.

Speaker 5 (08:03):
I said, but no, I you know, I went to church.
So she's like, okay, cool.

Speaker 4 (08:08):
So honestly, most of the time, guys, breaking that fourth wall.
You know, I'm not dressed for it is the probably
the proper term. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
Then when I tell her, hey, are we going to
She's like god damn.

Speaker 5 (08:26):
Right then.

Speaker 3 (08:27):
But then when I show her the numbers, I say,
wait a minute, no, the show's picking up for all
demand on the downloads. See look. And it's like she's like, well, okay, okay,
I guess it's just kind of one of those I
guess I can. I mean, it's only our audience. I guess,
your highness, thank you for blessing us with your appearance.

(08:51):
Is kind of one of those things where quota met
all right, well you same time next year, my queen.

Speaker 4 (08:58):
You know.

Speaker 3 (08:58):
It's kind of one of those.

Speaker 4 (09:03):
But now the pauper is like, wait a minute, we
have to do a show next week.

Speaker 5 (09:09):
We only did a three hour show the week before.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
Give me some more. Bust the rhymes, you know, give
me some more, give me some more, gimme some more.
That's what it's all about. Give me some more this
Halloween weekend. We really hope you guys have been enjoying.

Speaker 6 (09:26):
It so far.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
I know for us it's pretty much been quiet, chill mo.
We actually don't celebrate Halloween as far as like greeting,
trick or treaters and all of that. Now, I will say,
because I've been down here now what I've been down

(09:47):
here now what almost fifteen years? Almost I'm close to it.
Well I say this. I say that to bring this up,
which is I did see tricker treaters in previous years.
And we actually used to have tricker treaters that would
knock on the door at least the first five years

(10:14):
that I was here. Oh yeah, and then as the
years has progressed, now nobody is knocking on the door.
And I'll even raise the ante even more. Even though
we're in a suburban neighborhood, there are like no kids
running around in costumes, Like you don't see them anymore.

(10:35):
Like it is not celebrated around here.

Speaker 7 (10:39):
At least it's celebrated, but it essentially is somebody's going
to a community center or rec center, church, you know,
things like that and just having a big celebration with that.

Speaker 5 (10:53):
You know.

Speaker 4 (10:54):
The funny thing is I actually read a report a
little while ago today, matter of fact, and there was
a report that there was somewhere in our community, within
you know, a fifteen to twenty mile ratus radius.

Speaker 5 (11:12):
That there were.

Speaker 4 (11:15):
People who found sewing needles in candy. I said, oh,
my god, that's still a thing.

Speaker 3 (11:22):
Yeah, I mean to the sick individual or individuals that's
doing that. I just I mean, first off, when I
know that report too, because like when I heard that,
I was going, wait a minute, this is something that
I kind of remember hearing in the nineteen eighties, like
what what the hell so like for those that don't

(11:44):
celebrate Halloween or like you don't know, like really, what
the hell we're talking about. So when we were trigger
cheating as kids in the eighties, what would always happen
is once we would get home from trigger treating parents
before we went to bed, like as soon as we
came in the house, our parents would sit us down

(12:06):
at the kitchen table. They would look at all the
candy that we got and they would inspect every single
one because there was a sick individual or individuals. I
remember maybe some of the earliest incidents happening as far
back as the seventies, but it was really spiking in

(12:28):
the eighties, especially with the drug epidemic, you know, cocaine
crack epidemic that was going on and everything. And so
our parents would, you know, sit us down and it
was a fun little process, you know. You know, you'd
be talking and you know, did you have fun? Yeah?
Da d like, hey how about that one house with
you know, and you you'd remember, you know, like what
was your favorite house that you went to, all the

(12:49):
house that had the Frankenstein and and your parents would
just sit there and they would check every single candy
and if there was a particular candy that look a
little like, yeah, I don't know about this.

Speaker 5 (13:03):
And it was always the one that you really wanted.

Speaker 3 (13:06):
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, hell yes. And then now
let me ask you because the way that and it
would always be my mom that would help me with
my Halloween candy. Tell me if she tell me if
your parents did this with you, but my mom, so

(13:29):
she would discard anything that looked suspicious right. Well, on
top of that, if I got some type of homemade candy,
like I know some neighbors they would be like Hey,
I made these popcorn balls. My mom would be like
yeah nah, and she would put that in the trash can.

(13:50):
So like it could have been fine. My mom didn't
care because her whole thing was, look, if it's not
an original, h you're untampered wrapping, you know, like I'm
trashing it. Were your parents the same way?

Speaker 5 (14:08):
Yep?

Speaker 4 (14:08):
Again, First, like you said, if it didn't come in
original packaging from the manufacturer, you weren't going to eat it.
It didn't matter what. And especially because for them that
was even worse than it being tampered with because they
literally made it at their house.

Speaker 5 (14:25):
You don't know what's in it.

Speaker 4 (14:28):
So yeah, no, it was always a no, even if
it was homemade, homemade treat or anything that looked funny.
And it may not even an end bend.

Speaker 5 (14:38):
Because back in the eighties they were putting razor blades
in there.

Speaker 3 (14:41):
Yeah. Yeah, we were the era of razor blades and
sewing needles, but it was mostly razor blades.

Speaker 4 (14:48):
Yes, right, So and if it looked even the and
it could have been something from the packaging, maybe not
even something been tampered with, It could have been from
the packaging.

Speaker 5 (14:59):
Either way, My mom and dad whomever decided to check it.
If it didn't look right, I was.

Speaker 4 (15:06):
Going in the trash. Yeah, and for sure, no home
big goods unless they knew the person.

Speaker 3 (15:12):
Yes, exactly, yeah, unless they knew the person, like or
if it was a case where hey, come to the
Boys and Girls club and like somebody made a pan
of brownies, or come by the church, you.

Speaker 5 (15:23):
Know exactly, you know exactly, Hey, you can.

Speaker 3 (15:26):
Get a slice of cake or you know whatever. Right,
just crazy, what's going on these days? Hey, speaking of
candy and all that, I'm just a little bit curious
because it's nice to kind of, you know, get us
talking and then get everybody else talking. Favorite Halloween candy? Hmmm.

Speaker 4 (15:48):
I had actually had a plethora of favorites, but my
go to was always My first go to was always
Receia's second go to, who was.

Speaker 5 (16:02):
I'm in No, Yes, I'm in Joyce. I had like
Hershe's back when I was a little kid. And then
of course.

Speaker 4 (16:16):
Three Musketeers and Snickers, those were like my favorite favorite.

Speaker 5 (16:21):
Now generally, if I got anything.

Speaker 4 (16:23):
That had chocolate in it, that was my favorite because usually,
you know, back in the eighties, most guys got you know,
the little you know, dollar bag and gave you like
five hundred pieces that had the lolly ding dongs and
all that stuff, and you're like, yeah, I want that.
That was the stuff you ate after all the good
stuff was gone.

Speaker 3 (16:47):
True story, when I was trigger treating, there was actually
a couple of houses.

Speaker 8 (16:54):
Oh man, it's Halloween. Oh man, I forgot to get
the canny, y'all, ma'am. So so hang on, hang on,
hang on. I got something. I got something, and Mofos
would give me. Mofos would give me personal bags of chips,
so I would get sealed bags of Doritos or Lay's.

Speaker 3 (17:15):
Or Ruffles, like, hey, that's good.

Speaker 4 (17:18):
This was Lee's favorite Halloween candy.

Speaker 3 (17:25):
I don't know why I just thought of that all
of a sudden, but like some of those houses that
would give me chips, I would just I would pull
like a rock and I would go you all right
in the Rocks book, You're all right? Yeah, you know,
because it's like because the worst thing to like get
as far as Halloween goes, like Halloween goodies, you know,

(17:45):
is candy corn. I don't care what anybody says, like
my least favorite candy. Like, if you want to just
tell somebody I don't like you, like you would either
give them corn candy or you give them the fruitcake.
Like I actually went to some.

Speaker 5 (18:02):
Houses fruitcas more Christmas.

Speaker 3 (18:05):
But yeah, but some people, yeah, some people during Halloween,
Like some houses I would go to, they would actually
give me pieces of fruit cake, like I don't like you.
It's kind of like in these little diamond bags or whatever.

Speaker 5 (18:20):
I'm like, and I'm looking at this the hell I
was I supposed to do with this.

Speaker 3 (18:24):
Crap, like like I don't. I'd wait till like like
a block or two from the house, and then I
would just chuck that joint over my shoulder like be
like next, Yeah, you know, anything chocolate, I'm with you.
But I had my limits because I I hate it
with a passion. Growing up, I hated Hershey's. I could

(18:48):
not I could not stand it. I would hold off
on Hershey's until it was the very last thing, like
the barrel of.

Speaker 5 (18:59):
The bottom, yeah, pretty much in the bag.

Speaker 3 (19:02):
Right, it was kind of like, well, I guess, I
mean it's chocolate, it's sweet, I guess or whatever, Right,
But my go to's was Snickers Reese's Fifth Avenue. Baby

(19:22):
Ruth m h Oh Henry. Now that's one that only
a niche amount of people are gonna know about. But man,
you get me an old Henry candy bar.

Speaker 5 (19:37):
Question.

Speaker 4 (19:39):
Did they have Watching McCall it its in fun sizes
when you were growing up?

Speaker 9 (19:45):
No?

Speaker 3 (19:45):
But if I was no, But if I was fortunate enough,
I would come across some houses where some would actually
purchase the regular size candy bars, including that one, the
Watch mccally, and I, oh, man, I used to be
in heaven when I had that. So those were my favorites.

(20:08):
I also liked, you know what, not for nothing, but
I loved me some good Nerds candy as well.

Speaker 5 (20:15):
Nerds was good, and mister Goodbar, Mister.

Speaker 3 (20:19):
Goodbar was good. I didn't care for regular lollipops, like
the flat joints in the clear plastic. I didn't care
for those. But if you gave me a charms blowpop,
there you go.

Speaker 5 (20:31):
I was good me too, And I had times I
might eat that before.

Speaker 3 (20:38):
Hey, it had to be grape for me, it had
to be grape. I liked the cherry, but I wanted
the grape or the sour apple.

Speaker 5 (20:52):
Now for me, it was either grape or cherry. I
was okay with the sour apple, but I literally was eating.

Speaker 3 (20:57):
That last bottom of the barrel. Yearly would be Hershey's
and tutsi Roll.

Speaker 5 (21:07):
Mm, yeah, that's true. I usually left those for last two.

Speaker 3 (21:11):
Hated those with a passion, well.

Speaker 4 (21:13):
The tutsi roll part, but the Hershey's they wouldn't quite
be the last on my list.

Speaker 3 (21:17):
Now, you know, speaking of tutsi Roll, they revamped the
mister Al commercial. I don't know if you saw it,
they revamped it so to so to a subtle eye,
it looks like the same commercial that we've seen when
we were growing up. But if you pay really close attention,
you're going to wait a minute, this joint looks high

(21:40):
definition clean, like what what the hell like something doesn't
And then the voice actors that's changed as well, like
there's a slight little I don't know if maybe they
did that with AI or if they just went through
a vetting process, and I don't know what they did there,

(22:01):
but yeah, because now when the commercial ends, they show
you the usual lollipops, and like when they get to
the world may never know. Now they show like this
big old cherry pop.

Speaker 5 (22:17):
I think I have seen it.

Speaker 4 (22:18):
Actually, I started to come up two or three weeks ago,
and I was like, oh, that's different.

Speaker 3 (22:24):
Yeah, yeah, I thought that was kind of I think
it's cool when they go back and they kind of
tweak the commercials just a little bit and everything. We
were talking about daylight savings earlier. You know, any tips
you want to give to people that maybe are kind
of going to be struggling for the next couple of days,

(22:47):
any tips you want to give them to try to
get up on the right foot a lot sooner than later.

Speaker 5 (22:55):
To see.

Speaker 4 (22:56):
For me, I've always been a big fan of the
gaming the hour, and for me, the only thing is
that's going to be.

Speaker 5 (23:06):
Weird is having it lighter earlier.

Speaker 4 (23:11):
For some and then of course how dark it gets
at an earlier time, because now you're probably looking at
it being dark between four thirty and five thirty for
most people, at least on the East Coast. So you know, obviously,
get your things done early if you can. If you

(23:36):
have pets, I'm honestly trying to figure out a schedule
with them too, essentially, because they're you know, they're essentially
going through the change just like we are. As far
as you know, Wait a minute, it was this time,
and you know, especially when you're there in a routine
and then you yourself are in a routine. I usually

(23:59):
from myself this time of year, it's kind of like, oh,
I have some more time, so I don't necessarily get
to hit as hard with that change this time of
year as when in the spring when we lose an hour.
Now that usually takes me a few days when we
lose the hour.

Speaker 3 (24:18):
See, for me, it never affects me, believe it or not,
it never affects me because my keys to success, whether
we're losing the hour or we're gaining the hour. You
know this, I'm always taking my melotonin. So unless it's

(24:39):
a case where I went to sleep pretty early, you
know that I'm up the next day definitely early. There's
no mid afternoon nap or anything like that. Then I'm
definitely going to go to bed. You know when I'm
getting ready naturally. Well, what's always helped me is when
I know that daylight savings is coming into play, I

(25:03):
always okay. So say, for instance, we gain the hour, okay,
so I will just go through my usual routine. I'm
not even paying attention to the time. I'm not even
worried about, Like there's nothing I have to do by
a specific time. I just go, hey, look when you're
ready to go to bed, just go to bed and

(25:25):
you wake up. And now unless i need to be
up at a certain time and I've got to set
my alarm or whatever for me, like And I think
that's what really has a lot of people, that clips
a lot of people up. It's the mental. If you
don't focus so much on the mental, regardless if you're
gaining the hour or you're losing the hour, if you

(25:46):
don't focus so much on that psychological point of view,
then it just it naturally. Just now what I will say,
what I will say when it comes to losing the hour.
The best advice I would give is if you can
get to bed a couple of hours earlier, like, let

(26:06):
it be a goal that you're in the bed. For
some people four hours might be overkilled. But if you can,
you know, get your affairs in order and at least
be in the bed three hours earlier before you lose
the hour. That way, hey, you're going to sleep a
little bit earlier. That way, it won't affect you as

(26:29):
you think it will. Those are really some things that
have helped me over the years and the kind of
follow up on what you were talking about earlier. Yeah, man,
it's definitely different when you've got pets that are in
the picture because they are used to They may not
know the time, but they are definitely used to a

(26:50):
routine because you've helped them grow into that routine. And
I know we were hearing it earlier this morning and
from our all three of our Yorkies, because they they
wanted to go use the bathroom, they wanted to eat,
you know, And I told Tams, I said, don't worry
about them. I you know, I'll take care of them. Like,

(27:12):
but they went to the bathroom not that long ago,
and I just wanted for us to get a little
bit more sleep. And I didn't even think for an
instant that, oh, man, okay, well, you know, it might
be eight in the morning right now, but for them
it's you know, essentially it's it's nine in the morning,

(27:33):
like they've been ready to eat, right And so yeah,
it could definitely be a little bit of an adjustment though,
But I think, you know, I was thinking about it
a little bit more. You know, who really has it
bad when it comes to daylight savings?

Speaker 5 (27:53):
Those shift.

Speaker 3 (27:55):
Yes, yes, it's like, dang, yes, because not so much.
When you lose the hour, that's that's not no. When
you that's perfect, that's perfect. It is when you when
you gain then it's like, oh, I remember, I remember
when long, long, long, long time ago, many years ago,

(28:19):
my last rodeo insecurity. Oh my god, I don't know
how I made it. I wish I was kidding you.
I seriously, I do not know how I made it
because that site that I worked at, it wasn't your
typical Well it's a graveyard shift. You're going to be stationary,

(28:40):
so you could just kick back, look at the monitors,
maybe watch a movie, catch up on some homework, read
a book, you know, you know, do a patrol every
other hour. But for the most part, you know, you're
just stationary. Nah. I constantly had to be on my
feet the entire shift because they would give us like
these little these little I'm trying not to be crude

(29:03):
and use the wrong words, but they would give you
these little black, long shape dongle devices, okay, and you
had to go walk up to certain checkpoints and basically
scan it. And it was basically the security company is

(29:23):
a way of letting the employer know Hey, we're not
just chilling somewhere sleeping. You know, we're actually active and
you had to complete X amount of checkpoints otherwise, I
promise you the very next time you came to your shift,
you'd get a write up because it'd be like, hey,

(29:45):
you missed this checkpoint, you missed this checkpoint, you didn't
hit this one. What happened? Because then you got to explain,
like what was going on. It's interesting what's become of
the security industry now as far as that whole dongle
scan technology and all that. But when it used to
come to daylight savings and gaining that hour, it felt

(30:07):
like an eternity, like it felt like the shift would
never never end.

Speaker 5 (30:13):
As a matter of fact, I think I remember those
very words.

Speaker 4 (30:18):
Verbatim the last the last time that you were working
security overnight when there was a gaining of an hour.

Speaker 3 (30:25):
Yeah, excruciating pain, man. I don't wish it on anyone.
I really I feel the pain. I really really do.
I know some of you guys are interested in knowing
what's going on with the plants. I did share some
photos on social media recently. All the plants are doing

(30:48):
very very well. TAM's will attest to this, I gotta say,
as far as the plant of the year, plant of
the year, like, whoa, I did not recognize your grow
game was going to be like this. I got to
give it up to the dumb cane. The dumb cane plant.

(31:10):
Look the way it's looking right now, we're gonna have
ten leaves all off of that one stump by the
end of this year. And that's a big deal, folks,
because when you do your research on dumb canes and
when you basically are trying to generate new leaves from just,
you know, a stump, which is all I had basically,

(31:32):
you know, it's kind of my nice way of saying,
that's the correct terminology. It kind of looks like a
cucumber though that's basically buried in soil, and like all
these leaves basically eventually grew out of of this cucumber,
which is you know, it's not a cucumber, but it
looks like a cucumber when you see it. It's actually

(31:53):
called a stump. And so when I first got it,
my professor from my plant science is class last year
at the same time last year, it was like, hey,
you know, everybody pick a plant you know, whatever you want.
You know, I'll cut it for you. I'll give you
the cuttings, We'll put it in soil, we'll give it
some fertilizer, and you watch it for a couple of
weeks and then you know, you'll you'll take it home

(32:14):
just in time for Thanksgiving. And so I wo, yeah,
So to go from a stump in November of last
year to now this same time this year, and we're
now going to be looking at because there's a new
leaf that's growing right now that's gonna be a grand
total of seven. And I'm seeing two other areas that

(32:37):
look like they're getting ready to pop. So yeah, we're
gonna have like ten leaves. I was thinking about my
professor the other day from the plant sciences class, and
I said, you know what, I got to hit this
dude up and let him know, Yo, your plant is
still alive and kicking. You know the clipping that you
gave me. You know, take a look at this bad boy.
And apparently I am like in an elite group because

(33:00):
normally those that only are working with the stump that
the stump fast forward to now, they're lucky if they
have maybe three possibly four leaves the fact that we're
looking at almost ten. That means that that means that

(33:21):
dumb cane is Hey, I love what's going on here.

Speaker 5 (33:24):
I'm in a really right temperature, great light.

Speaker 4 (33:27):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, because I've noticed it's kind of
gravitated towards you know, it grows towards the light. Number one,
number two is within I would say within the last
four months. It's really just it was kind of like

(33:48):
I am honey, you know, and it's you know, it's
sprouting up here and there, and then it's like a
sprout and then it's got another spout right behind it.

Speaker 5 (33:57):
So it's really doing very well.

Speaker 3 (33:59):
Yeah, and a sprout on top of another sprout, because
we've also seen that play out this year too. Hey.
Shout out to veteran wrestler Sarah Stock. I definitely want
to give her a shout out because it turns out
she is a huge, huge plant fan, and she's been
growing all different types of cool plants and everything. And

(34:22):
it was funny because all the scrutiny that she was
facing hunt for some of the stuff that she was
saying in regards to aw's last pay per view, there
are some questionable things that you know, she saw that
circulated online that she wasn't a fan of and you know,
aw fans came out with pitchforks and they and they

(34:44):
pretty much. But she was like, I want all the smoke,
go ahead, bring it. And I mean she she handled
herself very well. I got to say she handled herself
very well. Uh, and I had you know, I've always
been a fan of her work, but I didn't know
that she had social media. So one of the things
that she shared was an image of herself. Basically, she

(35:04):
was kind of saying something along the lines of, yeah,
I'm just chilling here, minding my own business, just messing
with my plants. And I'm like wow, And so I say, hey,
I said, it's nice to talk to somebody that you
know is a plant lover as well. And I showed
her a picture of all my plants and she was like,
oh wow, that's really really cool. She's like, hey, all

(35:25):
your plants are really really briving. It's like whatever you're doing,
you know, keep doing it because they look very happy.
And she was like I should know, because apparently she
has a degree. I don't want to miss quot her.

Speaker 5 (35:36):
I'm trying.

Speaker 3 (35:38):
Yeah, I'm trying to I'm trying to find her quote,
but yeah, she pretty much. I'm like, whoa, And she
was like, yeah, if you're if you're a real big fan,
you know. She was like, give me a follow on Instagram.
I got an account where all I do is just
talk about plants. And I was like, oh snap. And
so I ended up giving her a follow and yeah,

(36:02):
I I'm not seeing it, go ahead and talk.

Speaker 4 (36:08):
So we've you know, it's so funny, guys, just to
kind of give you a little bit of peek behind
the curtain, so I can tell you two years ago
that wasn't even a thought.

Speaker 5 (36:27):
In like a distant universe, that wasn't even a thought.

Speaker 4 (36:29):
That Lee would even be remotely interested.

Speaker 5 (36:34):
In plant remotely.

Speaker 4 (36:37):
I was like, so, and it's, you know, one of
those I got to pick an elective.

Speaker 5 (36:42):
What should I do? I don't know, you know, what
picture interest? And it's like, well, there's this one.

Speaker 4 (36:49):
Thing that's you know, it's like it's an easy course
and essentially it gives me the credits I need and
it does it meets on Saturday.

Speaker 5 (37:00):
I'm cool with that. Okay.

Speaker 4 (37:03):
So he goes and the funniest thing is I've found
this person who literally.

Speaker 5 (37:11):
Could care less about.

Speaker 4 (37:13):
Plants prior to this class, just essentially falling in love
with the taking care of them, the seeing them grow.
And now it's like, yeah, well I ordered something and
I'm like, oh boy, and turns out generally when he

(37:33):
says this, it's another plant. But you know, I give
him kudos because he has really taken care of everything
he's gotten. It's thrived, it's you know, it's doing its
own thing and its own time, and it really gives
him great pleasure.

Speaker 3 (37:53):
So ten plants for you guys. I didn't catch that
hand gesture. Yeah, Sarah's studies Botany, biochemistry, plant human communication,
plant intelligence, and cognition.

Speaker 5 (38:11):
Oh yeah interesting.

Speaker 3 (38:14):
Yeah yeah, so that was like really really cool to
you know. Yeah, man, I'm a plant nerd and it's
nice to come across fellow plant nerds there. But yeah,
I'll definitely I'll definitely share some more images with you
guys of how the plants are doing. Beyond that, I'm
getting the itch man, like, I'm still adjusting. I'm adjusting

(38:36):
well to the college life. Just wrapped up really the
first wave of first exams. I'm now gearing up for
the second wave of exams. I got one coming up
this Wednesday from my government class. Am I excited about that? No?

(39:00):
But you know, but it is, but it is what
it is. I am getting the itch to get back
into the studio because I miss, you know, making music,
making playlists, playing live, the whole spontaneity. I mean, don't
get me wrong, I love doing the live the live

(39:21):
podcast that I do each week, But man, it was
just on another level when I was actually in a
in a live radio studio, knowing that I was on
you know, basically uh, you know, FM was on FM radio,
and you know, and people could hear and and interrac

(39:43):
and call in, you know. So I'm kind of getting
the itch to go back into I don't know. I
I think maybe in the next couple of weeks, I
might actually now that I'm an alumni from my community car,
I might go, hey, man, you know, I want to
cash in my alumni. You know, I'm trying to do
my thing. What's going on because because I'm kind of

(40:05):
I'm kind of getting that itch again and everything. But yeah,
a lot of knuckleheads, I don't know what's going on,
and you always respect the neck of the woods but
over here in the dmv DC Mayland, Virginia, there's a
lot of knuckleheads that are out there on the roads.
I mean, just the month of October alone, going into November.

(40:28):
Tam will tell you. Tams will tell you if I'm lying,
I've must have hit her up like every other day.
Just drove past the six six automobile accident, you know
file automobile accident, you know two automobile accident. Last one
I gave her. I said, hey, I just drove past
this car that's on the side of the road being

(40:49):
helped by police. There's a whole bunch of blood everywhere
on the windshield. Didn't see no bodies in there, but.

Speaker 5 (40:57):
Yeah, hit their head on the wind shoe.

Speaker 3 (41:01):
Yeah, probably wasn't wearing a seatbelt. Likely, I wish, because
I mean when I say there was blood on the windshield,
I don't mean like blood. Was looking at the blood pattern,
because that's how slow traffic ended up being. I was
able to see every single five to tail this blood,
this blood. It looked like the way the pattern went,

(41:25):
it seemed that somebody's head definitely went forward and then
kind of you know, forward and kind of to the
side to the side and then like the blood splatter
was just boom on the driver's side and it actually
went over to the passenger side.

Speaker 8 (41:44):
MM.

Speaker 5 (41:46):
Yeah, terrible.

Speaker 3 (41:48):
Yeah, you know.

Speaker 4 (41:50):
So the funny thing is, you know, as we were
earlier in the day, we were having a conversation myself
and Lee. He was saying, you know, over the weekend,
he was looking at possibly, you know, going out and
to do his rights here, and I said, okay, whatever,
and then he just kept saying, I don't think I'm

(42:11):
going to do that today, oh okay.

Speaker 5 (42:15):
And then the other day he was like, no, I
don't think I'm going.

Speaker 4 (42:18):
To do that today, okay. So basically literally I said
to him, I said, okay.

Speaker 3 (42:29):
So on.

Speaker 4 (42:32):
Friday night into Saturday morning, there was a an.

Speaker 5 (42:37):
Accident on our local interstate.

Speaker 4 (42:40):
Okay, and this is an interstate that literally leave a
travel and I get up this morning, you know, just
looking looking at things, and I see and I see
literally and I kid you not, guys, it is it

(43:01):
is down the street from the house. There was a
car that literally creamed into another truck at two am
this morning. This is also a route that Lee would take.

Speaker 5 (43:20):
And his car was excuse me, fucked.

Speaker 4 (43:27):
Meaning the car that smashed into the parked truck and
carry your thing on the back.

Speaker 5 (43:36):
No, the other dude's car.

Speaker 3 (43:37):
No, how about how about both cars?

Speaker 4 (43:42):
Now? The other car probably it's got some dense but
it probably now the car that creamed into it, probably not.

Speaker 5 (43:52):
I know, one was take it to the hospital. One
refused to go to the hospital.

Speaker 4 (43:57):
So and I didn't even know if the guy or
girl whoever drives that truck even knows that somebody's ripped,
you know, crammed into it. So but it's like, and
I was just talking with a friend earlier, and I
was like, I swear that I've seen more crashes in
the last two three weeks than I've probably seen in

(44:21):
six months. And it was funny that the other day,
I guess two weeks ago, two weeks ago, myself and
Lee were driving around in the area and I'm kid
you not, there were three accidents that I saw when

(44:46):
I was driving around that day. Three and they weren't
even like small accidents.

Speaker 5 (44:51):
They some of them.

Speaker 4 (44:52):
Were like, yeah, that's probably gonna be total. So it's just,
you know, you start to wonder, like, Okay, is it
these people that are getting their licenses really can't drive,
or they're just that distracted, you know, or maybe a

(45:13):
little of both.

Speaker 3 (45:14):
Are they just a reckless or maybe all.

Speaker 5 (45:16):
Exactly or they just at reckless.

Speaker 4 (45:18):
I was going to say speed which essentially cultivates into recklessness.

Speaker 5 (45:22):
But yeah, it's just like really, I.

Speaker 4 (45:27):
Mean, and the sad part about it is the people
that are doing it right essentially are paying the price
because conscurance rates are going up to essentially offset the
cost of all the records that have to come get
the things and the you know, because of the people
who aren't driving, whether it be recklessness or you know,

(45:52):
whatever it is that essentially caused that. It's like, well, dang, yeah,
so but the increase is a bit scary if you
want me to be honest.

Speaker 3 (46:02):
With you, it really shows. And shout out to Muhammad.
Happy Sunday to you as well, and happy November. It
really the times have changed. It really really has because
when you stop and think about it, and now I
understand why some ride share companies, why some gig companies,

(46:26):
gig economy companies like Uber, Uber Eats and all them,
while they're going, no, we are no longer going to
take provisional licenses. So for those of you that maybe
don't know, but you have a child that I don't know. Maybe,
you know, maybe while they're juggling college, they're trying to
do some stuff on the side, you know, and they're

(46:49):
thinking about some gig work or whatever. Well, here's an
update for you. You know, companies like Uber, they are
no longer allowing provisional licenses now. Last year, no issue.
You were able to take your provisional license and boom,
you'd be approved, like within like two minutes. Tops. Gone

(47:11):
are those days. And I would imagine that for you know,
companies like Uber, if door Dash hasn't followed suit, I
would imagine it's a matter of time before they do
as well, because a lot of them share the same
background checker system and you know, kind of run through
the same procedures and all that. I would imagine that

(47:31):
these guys are going Look a lot of these drivers
that are getting into accidents, these guys don't even have
six months on the road. We really need to enforce
on yo, you gotta be. You gotta have your drivers,
because at least if you have your drivers, then that says, okay,
well you definitely did what you needed to do for
at least eighteen years, you know, I'm sorry, eighteen months. Yeah,

(47:55):
like eighteen years. Good god, you know, but like eighteen
months and then you know, you get the actual thing.
But you know, even at that, but you know, even
at that, Jesus, why do I keep getting these emails
from these guys? So this is weird. I keep getting
emails from Columbia College, Chicago, and I have already asked

(48:22):
these guys to stop sending me these emails. It's like,
I'm already out of four year and I already asked
to unsubscribe. Oh, I see what happened. So I did
say all, but I did not also check all future

(48:42):
email communications from this organization. So let's see if that yeah,
so let's do that. Wow, you got to hit like
three things now, just to it used to be a
time where you could just press one fucking button and
unsubscribe you never have to worry about them again. But no, no,
you know, now it kind of seems like it doesn't

(49:02):
even matter, you know, the experience and all of that,
Like mufos are just gonna be reckless. I remember I
was out on to seventy last week and there was
a Wamada bus that even though it wasn't in service.
This guy decided that he was speed racer. So you

(49:23):
know how when you get on you know how when
you're how when you're going past certain joints on the freeway,
how oncoming traffic from your right, you know they've got
that little bit of lining and time where they can
safely merge onto the acceleration lane. Fucking bus. I mean

(49:48):
there must have been about a kid you not, And
I'm not exaggerating when I say this. There must have
been about four seconds left before the lane was definitely
like it was already narrowing, and this damn Wilmadel bus
decides to literally come from come from my left, riding

(50:17):
my ass behind me, goes to my right, jumps ahead
of me. Okay, all almost in one one fluid motion,
almost like almost like a backwards ask. The way it
was doing it could have caused a serious accident. Did
not signal his intent, none of that. And then I

(50:38):
watched a guy literally go over three lanes to the
left without signaling his intent and was this close to
hitting three cars in the process. This is the type
of driving that I'm seeing now here on the road.
I know a lot of you guys got your own

(51:00):
little uh bad stories. But it's it makes me, it
makes me really really screamish. Like it's gotten to a
point now where if I notice that somebody is riding
my ass on the freeway, on the freeway, I don't panic,
I don't panic, but I just go, Yeah, I need
to plan my exit, like I I, you know, I

(51:22):
need to because this guy, he gonna something bag gonna
happen the way this guy's riding, you know, Like, no, no,
I don't want to I don't want to risk it.
I don't want to risk it, you know. But it's
funny because I remember something that the guy that taught
me how to drive. I remember something that he has

(51:42):
said to me. He said, look, you know, everybody's gonna
do the same thing. They're gonna do what they need
to do, learn what they need to learn, drive how
they need to drive until they pass. Yeah, and then
they're just gonna do any old damn thing. And he
was like, that could be fine, he was like, but

(52:03):
you know, he basically was like, fuck around and find out. Yeah,
you know, he's like, funk around in five And it's
just crazy. A lot of the crap that I'm seeing.
I'm still trying to follow the story that happened down
in California. I don't know, we didn't talk about it
here on the show, but so in California, there's this

(52:25):
twenty one year old illegal immigrant that was operating one
of those big ass rig trucks, you know, big old
box car and all eighteen wheeler caused a horrific automobile
accident that took the life or lives of a couple
of people. Turns out this mofo was drinking. Illegal immigrant

(52:49):
twenty one years of age, wow, and took And so
one of the first questions I had running in my mind,
you know, especially since I'm taking my government classes, and
I contemplated whether or not I was going to email
my professor about this, but I think I might, which is,
you know, hey, how come illegals are able to get

(53:13):
driver's licenses? I don't understand that, because, you know, like,
shouldn't they be going through shouldn't they first be going
through the process where they're encouraged to become a legal citizen,
Because if you become a US citizen, then that perk

(53:33):
of becoming a driver, then you can gain access to
that I'll have it a hard time understanding, only because
I have not properly researched it. But y'all that's been
checking me out for a long time. Y'all know when
I put the idea out there, I always immediately follow
up and I do my own research. But it's a
matter of one of those explain to me, how does

(53:54):
that make sense if I'm not a legal US citizen
yet I'm able to get a driver's license. Somebody's in trouble.

Speaker 4 (54:07):
I wish I could remember that conversation, but there was
one of the times. I guess it was a year's
around the time or a year after I got my license.
I remember somebody at the NBA stating that there was
a lot of influx of foreigners essentially able to get

(54:32):
their licenses. Now, the how and the why I don't remember,
but I do remember the conversation, and I remember one.

Speaker 3 (54:42):
Of any of the instructors illegally correct, right, Okay, they
were illegally obtaining these.

Speaker 4 (54:50):
Yes, because I well, not illegally, but I remember asking
the question of, well, if they're not a citizen, how
are they able to ass get around the tape? Because
I mean, for us, you know, who are citizens. You
have to have at least three to four proofs of
ID that you are who you are, and one of them.

Speaker 5 (55:11):
Is that you're a US citizen.

Speaker 4 (55:14):
But I wish I could remember, you know, all the
points of that conversation, but I definitely remember being in
Awe and I was like, oh boy, that's going to
be a problem because you know, you have people who
are coming from other countries who essentially drive on a
different side of the street, you know, are different rules,

(55:34):
different regulations, and then having to come here.

Speaker 5 (55:39):
And then essentially and essentially then learn our rules of
the road.

Speaker 4 (55:45):
But you also have plenty of people who are coming
over over and they have like green cards and you know,
work permits and things of that nature.

Speaker 5 (55:53):
So most likely they're.

Speaker 4 (55:55):
Able to get it with that is my assumption that not.

Speaker 5 (56:02):
On.

Speaker 3 (56:03):
I just did my research and you all may find
this interesting. Okay, so here we go. Driver's licensing is
regulated by the individual states, not directly by the federal government.
Immigration law is, federal licensing is states. Some states have
passed laws authorizing licenses or driving privileged cards to residents

(56:27):
regardless of immigration status. For example, in California, and we
just talked about that guy in California, that boy under
AB sixty. A person unable to show proof of legal
presence can still get a license if they satisfy identity
and residency in the state requirements. As of the latest data,

(56:52):
roughly nineteen states, including Washington, DC, permit drivers' licenses or
for some portion of the undocumented population. The argument in
favor when more drivers are licensed, tested, ensured, the public

(57:14):
safety and road safety argument is stronger. Some states enact
the policy on that basis. So it's not that the
state we want to make sure that we're all on
the same page. It is not that the state is
welcoming undocumented immigration per se, but the state recognizes that
many people live and work in the state drive cars,

(57:36):
and from a practical regulatory standpoint, the state prefers they
be licensed and ensured rather than unlicensed and underinsured.

Speaker 4 (57:50):
Yeah, that makes sense, especially when there's a lot of
you know, of that who essentially are working and they
have to work, live and make a living while they're here.

Speaker 5 (58:02):
So one would say, okay, well that makes sense.

Speaker 3 (58:06):
There's a lot more to it, but that's pretty much
the main the main gist of it. It's it's a
weird rabbit hole, full of h full of uh loopholes
when it's all said and done. But yeah, a lot
of knuckleheads out there. Speaking of knuckleheads, what's your thoughts
about what's been happening with the latest round here of

(58:27):
the of the DC youth curfew. The saga, the drama continues.
You need to be caught up to speed.

Speaker 4 (58:37):
I remember hearing about, you know, Holloween night, but I
don't know the full story.

Speaker 5 (58:46):
Now did they.

Speaker 4 (58:47):
Lift the curfew for that night or is the curfew
been implemented since?

Speaker 3 (58:54):
So let me hook it. So, let me hook everybody
up here. Shout out to w t OP News for
this report. So DC LEA said a total of eighteen
curfew violators were stopped by officers on the first night
of Mayor Muriel Bowser's limited juvenile curfew, which went into
effect Saturday night. The curfew was implemented in response to

(59:16):
an incident Halloween night, where DC Police, as well as
Metro and Capitol Police worked alongside the National Guard to
disperse a large group of teens that congregated in the
Navy Yard neighborhood. Five arrests were made, with charges ranging
from possession of a knife to resisting arrests. Special juvenile

(59:40):
curfew zones have been established in Navy Yard, the U
Street Corridor, and along the Union Station and the Banneker
Recreation Center. Anyone under eighteen cannot be in the zones
without an adult between the hours of six PM and
eleven A city wide youth curfew then goes into effect

(01:00:06):
at eleven PM and lasts until six am. Under the
Mayor's order, those curfews are set to take effect every
night through Wednesday at eleven fifty nine pm, but in
recent weeks, Bowser has called on the DC Council to
enact a permanent curfew. So remember she had a curfew

(01:00:28):
that did very well during the summer that lasted. It
started much earlier and went much longer. And oh man,
I was about to say, don't activate the light. Hang
on there we go good. Anyway, she and she was
encouraging the DC Council to Yo, this needs to be

(01:00:52):
like all year round. You need to run this back
otherwise we're gonna go right back to square one. I
promise you. They didn't listen to her. And Night one
I'm talking about before the stuff went down Halloween night, Right,
we're talking about okay during the summer, so like as

(01:01:14):
soon as it expired, like night freaking one of that weekend,
if I remember correctly, there was like five or six
different shootings and they all involved youths that pretty much
were the triggerment. It was like you can't make this
ship up. It was almost like it was almost like
they all were just sitting back polishing their pistols or whatever,

(01:01:38):
and they're looking at the clock and it's like and
it's like yo, wo one, yeah, but yeah, you know
what time it is? Yeah, you know, And I don't
know what else you call it, because I need to
have five six like that night right and meror Miriam

(01:01:58):
right and merror Miriel bows. She gave two fucks not
she She went out there next round of interviews, she
told the media. I tried to warn the DC Council.
I mean for she was like, I tried to warn im.
She's like, you know, because even her police chief is like, yo,
I'm with the mayor, like we need the DC Council
to do the right thing. We need them to like

(01:02:20):
come on, stop stop playing around here, right, And so
the DC Council, you know a lot of them, of
course they're not going to make comments, you know, because
it's basically, you know, it's yok on their face and
all that, right, And so you look at what had
happened from there, and then you fast forward you look
at what went down Halloween night, and that is just

(01:02:46):
you know, and when I was watching the news, you
had these flyers that were being passed out by I
don't know, youths obviously, but it basically was like take
back the nuts. You know, it's take it's it's the youth,
take back the night night on Halloween night, Okay, and

(01:03:08):
you've got you know, all these young kids that's hitting
the backyard pose and all that on the flyers and
everything's like, yeah, we're gonna run out here, you know,
we're gonna beat our chest. And you know they can't
stop us, you know, you know, I mean, what were
they listening to?

Speaker 4 (01:03:24):
Like, uh.

Speaker 3 (01:03:27):
Diddy and and b I G or whatever. Bad Boy
ain't no stopping us. I mean, like what were they doing?
Because like, seriously, this is just stupid. It's just stupid.
It's just stupid. Uh So, my biggest issue with this,
I'm gonna tell you my biggest issue with this, and
I agree with a lot of the folks that were

(01:03:48):
commenting about this. But like the first thing that I
thought about when I was hearing about this curfew, Yo,
this isn't lasting long enough and it actually needs to
start earlier, Like you should be implementing this as early
as eight o'clock at night, you know, dare I say

(01:04:10):
even seven seven might be a little bit too extreme,
but you need to be pushing it from seven eight
o'clock at night, and it needs to go until it
needs to go until eight am. It needs to going
till eight am, like no exceptions, because nothing. I mean,

(01:04:31):
I'm not trying to sound like an old man yelling
at the clouds, but I just remember when we were
growing up, our definition of fun, especially if it was
on a Halloween weekend. Our definition of fun, depending on
where we were at that age point, it was either
we went to a friend's house and we did a
sleepover for it that night or for that Halloween weekend,
and you know, our friend's parents were basically responsible for

(01:04:55):
us and our friends parents would check in with our parents. Yeah,
you know they're good, they're gave them McDonald's or you
know whatever, you know, or or you know, we would uh,
you know, go go to the arcades or you know,
go go fucking play some footballs, you know, go find

(01:05:19):
some girls for you girls. Hey, let's let's see what
cute boys we can go, you know, gawk at for
a little bit, you know, like we didn't go, Yo,
let's go fuck up somebody's home. Let's go run into
a random apartment complex of people that we do not know,
and we're just gonna vandalize it. Yeah, we don't live here,

(01:05:39):
but you know, which makes it even more cooler when
they when what I need for these young boys and
girls to understand, especially to my young brothers and sisters
out there, my brown skin brothers and sisters out there,
you know, what they need to understand is you've already
got a bad narrative that's being put out there on

(01:06:02):
blacks that you know, and I've I learned a lot
about this from my history as far as you know,
the suffrage that African Americans had to go through, you know,
particularly in order to get in order to get voting rights.
You know, the voting rights might have been implemented for

(01:06:24):
blacks to vote, for black men to vote around the
late eighteen hundreds, but because of Jim Crow laws, you know,
it really was not until the Civil Rights Act of
nineteen sixty five that just said, yo, it's it's very
discriminating to you know, literacy tests and this and this

(01:06:46):
and this like no, like hands down, you need the
right to vote. What I need for these kids to
understand is that history has shown with certain races that
and even in a new setting media agenda, you know,
and in an agenda setting that newspapers back in the

(01:07:07):
day depicted blacks as savages, unintelligent beasts. And by these kids,
you know, ninety five percent of them black running around
doing all this stupid shit, you're essentially those people that

(01:07:29):
already are looking kind of side eyed at minorities are
going that shit right there.

Speaker 5 (01:07:36):
That's what I'm talking about.

Speaker 3 (01:07:39):
Tell me I'm lying, you know.

Speaker 5 (01:07:43):
Yeah, you know, I mean it's it's it's sad.

Speaker 4 (01:07:50):
You know where you have okay, you have said thing
in place, and it's like, okay, well the said thing
is places here to protect everybody. And as soon I
mean as soon as you take that away, it's like, oh.

Speaker 5 (01:08:09):
No, this is my right. I got a right to
do it.

Speaker 4 (01:08:11):
Da da da da da da d And you're literally
and I mean quite literally proving their point by your actions,
and you're making it hard for the other people who
are doing it right, very hard, because you now are

(01:08:33):
stereotyping the whole race because of a select few, and
that's unfair.

Speaker 3 (01:08:41):
It really is nair, It really is. I know. I
know there's also some people that are going where are
the parents? Where are where are the parents during during
all of this will Look, you know, the parents.

Speaker 5 (01:08:55):
Don't know where their kids are going. They say, Oh,
we're going out with our friends to go.

Speaker 3 (01:08:59):
Trink and treason, right.

Speaker 5 (01:09:02):
And then it's like, oh, well, damn nazy McKidd on.

Speaker 3 (01:09:05):
The news right half of.

Speaker 5 (01:09:07):
Them, I'm sure is that way.

Speaker 3 (01:09:09):
I see that narrative all the time. Where's the parents?
What's going on? Look, don't get me wrong, folks, And
I want to make sure that for the parents that
I actually played Devil's advocate and I defend them a
little bit here because a lot of the parents are
invested in their kids in their future. They are doing
their damnedest to raise their kids right, give them the

(01:09:31):
right values and accordingly. But some of these kids, what's
ultimately happening. You know, the kids are playing it one
way in front of their parents, and you know, and
then come on, you've seen it in many movies or
TV shows. The daughter. The daughter kisses her her father
on the cheek and says goodbye to mom and is

(01:09:53):
wearing this really nice, proper outfit. And then as soon
as she gets into the car with her friend, they
go right around the corner, she's stripping all that off
to basically okay, okay, so like I'll never I'll never forget.
It's funny. I'm mentioning another security story. But I remember

(01:10:17):
when I had caught these kids, and I was so disappointed.
I was so disappointed because one of them was a
apparently was a was a standout college no no soon
to be college basketball player, but he was still playing
high school basketball. He was really really good. And then

(01:10:39):
there was another one that was playing high school football.
Both of these kids very very promising. They were black.
They were with matter of fact, all the kids. It
was about four black kids. I only know about those two,
but I had caught them. After hours they broke into

(01:11:03):
the mall. This was years and years and years ago, folks.
They had broken to the mall, uh and they were
trying to break into I think the Xbox store that
we had there at the time. You know, I caught
them and everything. I held them down until the police
got there. And uh man, it took a minute because

(01:11:28):
I know for one set of parents that had to
come for one of their kids, they came from Bowie, Maryland.
So that's a hike this because this was at the
but that's the mall for for for full context, right,
So that's that's that's that's a hike when we look

(01:11:50):
it up and from what I remember, because I think
we had three set of parents that came. One set
of parents essentially were responsible for both kids because the
one kid had had said hey, hey, hey, Mom and dad,
can I go over to Da Da Da Da da

(01:12:12):
hang out with them for the weekend? And you know
they're like, yeah, yeah, that's sure, like no problem.

Speaker 10 (01:12:18):
And so.

Speaker 3 (01:12:21):
When the parents had came for the respected set of kids,
this was a case where they didn't tell us they
were going to come up here, right, They didn't tell us, No,
they told us they were going to Da Da Da
Da Da Da Da Da da. Right. So you know,

(01:12:42):
but look this is how but look, this is how
things are going to have to be going forward. You know,
you can't just go with a curfew and then be
like problem solved. No, there's got to be even more
serious consequences. And I hate to say this, I really do,
but this is one of those cases where if these

(01:13:04):
kids are gonna continue to defy the rules, then the
parents are gonna need to be fined. And that's how
you pretty much ultimately you know, because let me tell
you something, nothing is gonna piss off a parent more
than to find out they getting to find for some
stupid ship that their kid did. Not only is that
gonna be an ass whooping, but that is going to

(01:13:27):
be okay. I you know you're gonna work this money off.
I don't care. I don't care what you gotta do.
I don't care if you gotta you you doing something,
even if you gotta ask somebody that's getting ready to
go grocery shopping, if you can push the cart for
them and load, you gonna get me my money. That's

(01:13:49):
how they gotta do it. That's how they got to
do it. But it's so heartbreaking to see these kids
just going out there and just continue continuing to do
this stupid crap.

Speaker 4 (01:13:58):
It is everybody is, you know, and half a time
lately now. You know, at one point it was yeah, okay,
some were doing it for you know, a hell of it,
the fun of it, the thrill of it.

Speaker 3 (01:14:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:14:15):
But now it's just it's almost like they're doing it
for something to do.

Speaker 3 (01:14:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:14:22):
It's like.

Speaker 4 (01:14:24):
I can think of like ten million things that would
be better than what you're doing right now.

Speaker 5 (01:14:30):
It's for something fun to do.

Speaker 3 (01:14:32):
It's really weird because like for some of these and
I just don't understand it. It's like for some of
these kids, you know, they're also looking at it as
an act of rebellion because I'm more than just assume
to be college player. You know, I'm more than I'm

(01:14:53):
more than what my rich parents and then the good
money that they make and the good life that they
are affording me. I'm so much more than this. And
it's like, well, yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:15:03):
You're in a yellow or to jump shoot. That's what
you That's what you are. A damn combat.

Speaker 3 (01:15:10):
It's like it's like keep yeah, keep keep yeah, You're
gonna be much more, all right, Like keep it up,
like like seriously, keep it up.

Speaker 5 (01:15:17):
It's like you're going down the wrong path really, you know.

Speaker 4 (01:15:22):
It's it's the absolute wrong way of where your parents
and mentors and all of that want you to be
and you know for and it's not even for none.

Speaker 5 (01:15:33):
Of it's ever a good reason. But it's really not
for a good reason.

Speaker 3 (01:15:37):
You know, you touched upon something interesting, which is a
big issue out here. We need more youth centers, we
need more recreational centers. When I first came to look
understand something people, when I first came to DC in
ninety two YO, there were so many boys and girls

(01:15:58):
clubs and recreational centers that if you need something to
do after school or on the weekends, you were good.
It was safe there. It was safe, you were guaranteed
to make new friends if you wanted it. You're able
to pretty much come across like minded people.

Speaker 4 (01:16:19):
But that brings up another question or thought in reference
to this newer generation. If you were to put that
in play and make that something that you wanted to
invest in, you know, depending on where you put it,
we're in such a society where people just want to

(01:16:42):
excuse my friends function up. Is it really worth it
and would it really thrive for the people who really
want to make it work or would it be just
another wayte Because you have people who just have nothing.

Speaker 5 (01:16:58):
Better to do.

Speaker 3 (01:17:01):
I think it would definitely help because you are providing
some type of an alternative, you know, you are you know,
these kids that want to pretend like they got it
so rough in twenty twenty five when you see how

(01:17:21):
a lot of the land has been redeveloped. Now I
do understand there are still on that same side of
the coin. There are still low income families that do
not have access to home internet, let alone high internet speeds.

(01:17:41):
And you know, I get that, which is why it's
even more important that instead of taking our resources and okay,
let's go open up another goddamn vape store, or you know,
let's open up right, let's open up another right, you know,
let's open up another cannibiate. It's like, no, like we
should be investing in recreational youth programs. Teach these kids,

(01:18:08):
you know, inspire these kids to learn a trade, you know,
learn something that you know, what are you passionate about?
What do you you know? Okay, well then let's explore that.

Speaker 10 (01:18:19):
Right.

Speaker 3 (01:18:20):
Oh, you like to draw, you like to paint? Well,
you know that's what made Boys and Girls Club and
other recreational centers so cool. It's like they had all
types of different stuff, so it was pretty easy for
you to you know, find something that you were passionate
about and everything. That's why I like that one place
that's out there in southeast and I hope they're able

(01:18:41):
to I hope they're able to get the money that
they need to stay open. But you know what I'm
talking about, it's that go go joint.

Speaker 5 (01:18:49):
Where they go museum.

Speaker 3 (01:18:52):
The go go museum. Yeah, and a parent.

Speaker 5 (01:18:55):
I hope they do.

Speaker 4 (01:18:57):
You know, it's so funny how so many youth today
could give two craps not about history. You know, they
just care about the here, the now and where they're going.
And they don't even care about what people have overcome,
where they've.

Speaker 5 (01:19:14):
Been as a as a race.

Speaker 4 (01:19:18):
You know, how do you know where you're going if
you don't even know how far you've come?

Speaker 3 (01:19:25):
Preach, preach that was deep. A little bit lighter, A
little bit lighter. Let's let's switch it up a little bit.
I mean, look, we can keep going, but like, like
I know, but this is multi lary, multi lary. It's
so multi layered. Sound like you turn, yeah, go with something.

(01:19:49):
Let's let's switch it up. Talk a little something lighter
this will probably make the wrestling fans smile a little bit.
So I want to put you in the hot seat.
I'm going to give you context, okay, right, easy, very digestible, okay,
But I want to hear your thoughts about this. So
I was watching Saturday Night's main event on nbcpacock. Right,

(01:20:17):
what's NBC peacock.

Speaker 5 (01:20:21):
An app?

Speaker 3 (01:20:24):
You don't say, tell me more?

Speaker 4 (01:20:29):
Well, I mean it's an app to where you can
essentially view generally NBC product.

Speaker 5 (01:20:41):
Some could if you want to be technical.

Speaker 4 (01:20:47):
Some people may say that you may or may not
drop the NBC and just call it peacock. But generally
that's who essentially founded the app.

Speaker 3 (01:21:04):
So who owns it? Who owns it currently m Z,
which is.

Speaker 5 (01:21:10):
Owned by Universal Comcast.

Speaker 3 (01:21:16):
So anyway, I'm telling y'all don't I'm telling y'all don't
fuck with me. I'm telling y'all I will pull a sequille.
Ohda way, don't play with me. Don't play with me anyway,
little inside joke, little inside joke. So anyway, I was

(01:21:37):
watching Saturday Night's main event, where, in case you guys
missed it, you don't know by now seaam Punk is
now seven Time World heavyweight champion. So congrats to seam Punk,
who just celebrated his birthday on October twenty six. He's
now forty seven. So interesting with that, Huh, what was that?

(01:22:02):
That was something called peacock? You know, sometimes I refer
to it as the cock, But you know, I I
guess if you don't want to be crude and you
want to you know, then then you say peacock, you know.
But see, I like to put the NBC in front
of it, because if you just randomly pop in or streaming,

(01:22:25):
you just hear peacock, You're going, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa?
You know, So I like to know NBC peacock.

Speaker 5 (01:22:34):
Would you guys like to see precious precious words to
say him?

Speaker 3 (01:22:38):
I think it's a streaming app, isn't it. I think
it's a streaming app. I would say, I believe it's
a streaming app. Yeah, yeah, don't fuck with me.

Speaker 11 (01:22:55):
Anyway, never mind, never mind, motherfucker offering preview and predictions
and saying, YO, give me your thoughts about that.

Speaker 3 (01:23:07):
Never mind And if you got Lee's being a dick. Yeah,
damn right, I'm being a dick right now. Never mind
me saying, Hey, I encourage you guys, give me your preview,
give me your predictions. Technique.

Speaker 12 (01:23:20):
Technically speaking, sir, it's not called NBC Peacock, you know,
because that would mean that the event is streaming on
NBC and it streaming on Peacock.

Speaker 3 (01:23:31):
Therefore, our go you need to say peacock. Never mind
me taking less than three minutes out of my schedule,
So offer preview and predictions. No, we gotta get we
gotta get technical. So anyway, so they revealed during Saturday

(01:24:00):
Nights Main Event, you know, on Peacock, that there's going
to be a tournament for John Cena that involves sixteen men.

Speaker 6 (01:24:12):
And it's essentially a royal rumble that is going to
be playing out over the next couple of weeks, where
by the time they get to the December thirteenth edition
of the next Saturday Night's Main Event, whoever wins that tournament.

Speaker 3 (01:24:31):
Will win the right to face John Cena in his
final match right here in Washington, d C Station's Capital
sixteen man Battle Royale. Now we already know some of
the names of the participants that it looks like they're
going to be involved. But the way John Cena had

(01:24:53):
pretty much advertised this because he used like narrating a
video clip portion of this and all that. You know, hey,
you're going to see people from SmackDown, from Raw, from
NXT and who knows, I think you're even going to
see people from another company, from outside the company. So

(01:25:14):
you're like, okay, So basically you're saying, TNA or is
this opened up to New Japan? Like what's going on here?
So some of the people that it looks as though
they might be confirmed for this battle Royale, the miz Rusive,
Solo Socoa, Seamus la Night, Drew McIntyre, Penta Carmelo, Hayes,

(01:25:41):
Ronson Reid, Gunther Dominic Mysterio. Now, these aren't a lock.
Anything can change between now and when the tournament kicks
off a week from Monday in Boston, Massachusetts, which John
Cena will be in attendance. But wash your thoughts about

(01:26:06):
hearing how WWE under Triple H is how they're basically
going to be doing John Cena here on the way
out the door, take that wherever you want to go,
it for however long you want to go, But just
your thoughts.

Speaker 5 (01:26:25):
I really.

Speaker 9 (01:26:29):
Ms it's a neat little move, but also it's kind
of it doesn't really give you time to truly build
a story either, because they could really.

Speaker 5 (01:26:48):
They could really give somebody a dad.

Speaker 4 (01:26:52):
If they were to do it that way and basically
like okay, well let me pass the torch, and I mean.

Speaker 5 (01:26:57):
Grant you the the you know, John Zeena Roy Rambo
could do that as well.

Speaker 4 (01:27:06):
I mean, it's an interesting concept. I guess I didn't
expect to see something like that happen. I guess I
just assumed that he would just you know, each week
would be you know, this different person. I don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:27:31):
My feelings are mixed by it.

Speaker 4 (01:27:34):
I I will tell you that for me, there wasn't
a whole lot of people on there that.

Speaker 5 (01:27:42):
You named that I would be like, well, damn, I mean,
grant you.

Speaker 4 (01:27:47):
Some of them are like, okay, well that's cool, you know,
nice rout've and of course through mcatire and but then it's.

Speaker 5 (01:27:54):
Kind of like for me, some of those people are
like B players.

Speaker 4 (01:28:00):
And it's like, well, maybe, I mean just for me
and reference to the average casual fan, I would have
thought that you would want to make this last match momentous,
something to remember, build up to it.

Speaker 5 (01:28:21):
And yes, they're doing that.

Speaker 4 (01:28:22):
In a way, but not really because it could be
one of nineteen people.

Speaker 5 (01:28:30):
I don't completely love the idea. I don't completely love
the idea.

Speaker 3 (01:28:39):
So let me follow up then, So overall grade that
you're giving for Triple H and now he has handled
John Cena's farewell toward especially now knowing what you know
now with this new information, what's the overall grade that
you would give him? And my follow up question to

(01:29:00):
you scandals put to the side, pretending that it did
not happen. You have definitely watched enough now of Vince
McMahon and what it was like with him at the
head of creative and booking. And you've seen enough now,

(01:29:22):
even though you're not watching it as much as you
used to watch under Vince McMahon's regime, we've watched enough
under Triple H now. So two part question overall grade
for Triple H and then the second part do you
feel if all this was under Vince McMahon, if it
would have been two times better than what Triple H

(01:29:45):
is doing?

Speaker 4 (01:29:48):
Overall grade see not a C plus C minus, just
see sometimes he truly does hit the mark, sometimes not
so much.

Speaker 3 (01:30:07):
And you're talking about specifics grade that you're giving. You're
talking about specifically what you've seen, how Triple H has
done Sena during this tour, during this Fellwell tour.

Speaker 5 (01:30:20):
Yeah, I would say it's still is a see I.

Speaker 3 (01:30:24):
Mean, and I'm gonna even.

Speaker 4 (01:30:29):
Now if you're saying take t KO out of it,
because some of it are I I'm a little bit
with t KO and I'll explain that in a minute.
I say, be minus, yeah, be minus without t k O.

Speaker 5 (01:30:56):
The reason I say that.

Speaker 4 (01:30:59):
Is I'm as a fan, I'm really disturbed that I
feel like they're making WWE a cash cow, and I'm
gonna give you guys some behind the scenes.

Speaker 5 (01:31:17):
So I guess it's been.

Speaker 4 (01:31:21):
Probably about five weeks since we found out that Seena's
last match was going to be in DC, and I
truly actually considered it about going in reference to you
know myself in late and I thought that would be interesting. Okay,

(01:31:45):
it's in December and you know, all right, and I
swear to you I saw some of the possibility of
prices and I said, excuse my French, no fucking way,
no fucking way. To me, it feels like you literally

(01:32:08):
are it's a money cash graup. You know, you have
a product, you know, you know, a whole lot of
people are gonna want to see it, They're gonna want
to be there, and you are literally hiking up the
prices to where either you're gonna have to take out
a loan to essentially attend the event or you just

(01:32:32):
really truly have it like that, And that is unfair.

Speaker 5 (01:32:38):
I think it's unfair, and to I've heard reports.

Speaker 4 (01:32:44):
I'm not saying that I pretend to know that whether
it did or didn't happen, but those people won it well.
Most people thought that his last match should be in Boston.
And literally there was a report that said WWE wanted

(01:33:05):
way too much or TKO excuse me, TKO wanted way
too much and right around the holidays, even for.

Speaker 5 (01:33:14):
That ticket, we can't afford it. That is saying something.

Speaker 4 (01:33:21):
And as I will never mind that this is nostalgia,
I mean, why not make it there?

Speaker 5 (01:33:27):
I mean, grant you, I'm glad it's you know, in
the nation's capital.

Speaker 4 (01:33:30):
But but it's like, why outprice your fans, And that
is something that's a real hot button for me. I mean,
grant you, do I know that some of these events,
you know, concerts events, sporting events, whatever. Are they going
up in price, yes.

Speaker 5 (01:33:50):
But not through the roof. There is no way any
sporting event should cost you damn near half half a
year's salary.

Speaker 4 (01:34:03):
It's just my own thought, just my you know, my thoughts,
my you know, on how I feel about it.

Speaker 5 (01:34:10):
So for me, would I like to go yes? Am
I going to go? Fuck? No?

Speaker 4 (01:34:22):
So but that's just on on a little bit of
another level. But in reference to Triple H and what
I feel, it's great to see the nostalgia of this
is the last time I'm in Toronto or wherever the
city is for that particular, you know, showing great and

(01:34:43):
it is nice to see the emotion behind it. And
then of course you know some of the opponents that
are coming up. And but I really wish if this
is really.

Speaker 5 (01:34:54):
The farewell tour. And it was so funny because.

Speaker 4 (01:35:01):
There was basically they asked him after he faced or
right before he faced, you know, brock Lesner, and they said, oh, well, well.

Speaker 5 (01:35:13):
You know, you know, did he really make this match?

Speaker 4 (01:35:16):
And so on and so forth, and he literally said,
and I quote you line him up.

Speaker 5 (01:35:22):
I do the work like I don't care.

Speaker 4 (01:35:26):
It is what it is, and so on and so forth,
But why not make that memorable, you know, in reference
to tell a story, tell a story each week, not
just okay, set him up, and you know it's this
person this week and that person next week. And you know,

(01:35:49):
if you're going to do a farewell tour, then do
a farewell tour.

Speaker 5 (01:35:54):
And that includes the mattress as well, not just the
video packages.

Speaker 3 (01:36:00):
So again, bringing this back home, So again, what is
the grade that you're giving for Triple H and his
handling of the John Cena farewell tour? And do you
feel my second part to that question, do you feel
that because you haven't answered the second part of the question,
but I want to get a clear definement of the

(01:36:22):
first question, the second question, do you feel that if
Vince McMahon controversies to the side, you know, perfect world like,
you know that didn't all happen. Are you confident enough
to say that, you know, if this was under Vince McMahon,
it would have been a much better send off than

(01:36:43):
what Triple H is doing.

Speaker 4 (01:36:46):
In my thought process, obviously, you know I answered that,
and I'm going to be very clear B minus as
far as Triple H and the handling and you know
all that.

Speaker 3 (01:37:00):
That's my grade now, Pauls right, what Pauls. What do
you say to those that's because I know, I know
our audience. What do you say to those that are
going to go Lee Tams? You know, all due respect,
but that grade is way too high? How do you
justify your thought process and defending that b.

Speaker 5 (01:37:23):
Minus my thought process?

Speaker 4 (01:37:27):
And you know, I like the switch ups, you know,
in reference to him turning heel and then turning back.

Speaker 5 (01:37:36):
And the way.

Speaker 4 (01:37:39):
That they are sending him off as far as this,
you know, like I said, I do enjoy this is the.

Speaker 5 (01:37:44):
Last time in whatever city. There are some things that
I really do like about it.

Speaker 4 (01:37:50):
Do I think the storytelling in the creative part could
be better?

Speaker 3 (01:37:53):
Oh yes, absolutely, Which sets you up now for Vince McMahon.

Speaker 5 (01:37:58):
Which sets me up now for events move man. So
with this league man that was like his dude, So
I feel.

Speaker 4 (01:38:09):
Like he would have pulled out the whole red carpet Forstina.
I mean, whatever he felt was what have you maybe
even said, Okay, so.

Speaker 5 (01:38:23):
This is what I got lined up for? This, this, this, this,
this and that and then you know, here we go,
let's roll with it.

Speaker 4 (01:38:31):
I really do feel like it would have been better
under me, man, I really really.

Speaker 3 (01:38:37):
Do interesting interesting okay for me. As far as what
grade and all that I'm going to give him, well,
you guys will just have to tune in for the
Monday show to find out. I got to give it
incentive somehow, right, I gotta give in incentive somehow. So

(01:39:01):
I like that. But do tune in because besides all that,
I'll also reimagine Sina's final year. I'll reimagine his Yeah,
so nice little extra incentive for you. But yeah, that's
that's I wanted to hear your thoughts on that. Okay,
interesting because because for me and just for the record,

(01:39:21):
like whatever you like, there was no wrong answer. It
was just however you legit have felt and and that's
how and that's how you feel. That's that's interesting. Hey,
you want to talk a little football before we get
ready to close it out. How's uh, how's your commander
is doing? What's the latest word?

Speaker 5 (01:39:39):
So Jaden is back?

Speaker 4 (01:39:44):
I think they're trying to they're trying to do something
with Deebo Samuels in reference to the T word, which
should find interesting T.

Speaker 3 (01:39:58):
Word trade mm hmm.

Speaker 4 (01:40:03):
And then I want to say that McLaurin was questionable
because I thought he reinjured that quad.

Speaker 5 (01:40:14):
Yes he did.

Speaker 4 (01:40:15):
Matter of fact, I don't think he's playing today because
I went, oh hell.

Speaker 5 (01:40:20):
And it was so funny to see them last week.

Speaker 4 (01:40:23):
I mean, like McLaurin was doing the damn thing, but
he didn't have no quarterback.

Speaker 5 (01:40:30):
That it was going to do something for him. And
it was like, damn, you got all.

Speaker 4 (01:40:35):
This talent on this field and you got this. So
it'll be interesting to see what they do tonight. You know,
everybody's like, there was so funny. There was a meme
on Facebook that was like, damn, y'all already giving up
on weekend. So Jame's like, I got I guess in

(01:41:00):
the tank, so let's go. So we'll see, you know.
I really hope they make a better, better showing. I
know it's been really rough with the injuries, and that
is definitely definitely not something that I hadn't on my
Bingo card at all, especially our major players. Oh my goodness,
not something I had on my Bengo card.

Speaker 3 (01:41:22):
Now, is it true that tonight they're gonna be wearing
their Super Bowl That should be fun.

Speaker 4 (01:41:29):
Yeah, that should be fun to see those old colors.
I definitely remember that from my childhood.

Speaker 3 (01:41:33):
They're on so now, aren't they? I think for a
limit of time. Yes, you're gonna grab.

Speaker 5 (01:41:38):
A No, sure you won't get it for me.

Speaker 3 (01:41:46):
If I don't, maybe Santa will. If if you're a
good girl, well.

Speaker 5 (01:41:54):
I would like a seize. McLaurin. I already got Daniels.

Speaker 3 (01:42:03):
Or laid. Yeah, I'm hearing that the team announced that
two elevations from the practice squad, I think Burk's.

Speaker 5 (01:42:12):
And I felt like I heard that.

Speaker 3 (01:42:14):
And day they've been added to the Sunday matchup. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:42:19):
Interesting. Interesting.

Speaker 4 (01:42:21):
You know what I'm really mad at though, is like
they're they're doing a lot of night games this year,
you know, Monday night, Sunday night, Monday night.

Speaker 3 (01:42:30):
Thursday night.

Speaker 5 (01:42:32):
Are killing me.

Speaker 4 (01:42:33):
Yeah, reference to you know, you want to watch the
whole game. But it's like, well, I kind of got
to get up and go to work tomorrow, right, But
but you know, I mean, I'm going to support them
as long as my eyes as helping. Yeah, unless they
just blow everything out of the water and I'm like, okay.

Speaker 3 (01:42:53):
Nevermind, yeah, like they did with the Chiefs last week. Yeah,
what was that? What was that? Twenty seven.

Speaker 5 (01:43:01):
Something? Like that twenty seven, twenty seven seven or something
like that.

Speaker 3 (01:43:06):
It was bad.

Speaker 5 (01:43:07):
It was just it was bad.

Speaker 4 (01:43:09):
It was absolutely bad. Now, my mom, who is a
huge Chiefs fan. Mainly she likes fashion mahomes, but she's
a really big Chiefs fan, was like, no, the Chiefs
are going to win. And I was like, well, I'm
not inclined to essentially dispute that due to the fact
of their record at the moment, but you know, in

(01:43:30):
my heart, I was like, I really hope they win.

Speaker 3 (01:43:34):
Yeah, So you know, I guess I'm aware that Jaw
Morant of the Memphis Grizzlies he's got suspended for one
game due to conduct detrimental to the team. It's being
described after he made some critical comments about the coaching
staff following a loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. I'm

(01:43:58):
not ready to come cool, ready to comment on that
just yet, but from like how I will say this
much how he handled talking to the press afterwards after
the loss, Like, it's a prime example why you should

(01:44:19):
not be giving the press media immediate access to players
as soon as a game is over. That's why the emotions,
that's why I used to love the hell out of
Michael Jordan. Because Michael Jordan, whether his team won or
a loss, you were not gonna run up and be

(01:44:43):
asking Michael Jordan fifty thousand questions. The only person, the
only person, the only person that would have that type
of access to him after a game was a mode
was shot right down to the point. I'm alwash I
was actually part of that Jordan inner circle for the
longest time because they became friends real real quick and everything.
So there was that you know that already, that established bond,

(01:45:06):
that comfort level most important, that trust level. But Jordan
would be like, no, I'm gonna take my shower. He's like,
I'm gonna take my shower. Oh hang on, oh I
did it again by accident. Here there we got me
just all right?

Speaker 5 (01:45:24):
Iron Man?

Speaker 3 (01:45:27):
No no, no, no, no, go back there you go.
It's like it's a little stupid, but it's like I
feel like I'm Tom Cruise in Minority Report versus Uh
versus iron Man. There's iron Man. Yeah. But Jordan would
make the reporters wait until he took a shower, he

(01:45:48):
got freshened up, he put on his suit, all that,
put on his cologne, all that, and like mofos would
be waiting thirty minutes, forty five minutes, sometimes an hour,
and you know, only then would Jordan like, okay, let's
talk about this game. Kobe to a certain degree kind

(01:46:09):
of followed in those same footsteps as well when he
was done playing the games and and and all that.
But I don't like it because it's just a recipe
for disaster and that's just too much access. Like if
I was the head coach, I would have been like, look, Jah,
I know you're probably feeling a certain way. You have

(01:46:32):
every right to feel that way, but I want to
try to protect you from the press media. You know,
give me the word. You know, would you prefer it
if you don't let the press talk to you? Yeah,
you know, I got your back. I don't care how
you feel about me right now, but I got to
look out for you unless you want to talk to
the press. And then at that point, you know, because

(01:46:54):
because he's still he's still a young man, right and
you know, the last thing you want to do is
put yourself in a position where, you know, you say
and conduct yourself where well, damn, that was just really unprofessional.
And seeing how he responded to the press media, you know, Hey,
what happened there? And he's like, you know, well, you
got to go ask the coaching staff. Well, you know

(01:47:16):
where we're kind of you know, asking you about it.
He's like, well, y'all hear you should talk to the
coaching staff. And then for him to say, you know, well,
they basically said, don't play him like dude.

Speaker 5 (01:47:30):
Yeah. See, here's the thing is now two things for me.

Speaker 3 (01:47:36):
One is I'm sorry, quote unquote probably don't want to
play me like, yeah, go ahead, right.

Speaker 4 (01:47:43):
So the first thing is number one, as a player,
you're gonna have to learn how what you can and
can say and etiquette. That is something that should be
absolutely taught in not only your court game, but your
etiquette and what you say and how you say it.

Speaker 5 (01:48:04):
That's number one. Number two, you find somebody a few three, four, five, ten.

Speaker 4 (01:48:11):
Fifteen thousand dollars because they can't hold their tongue where
that might change.

Speaker 5 (01:48:17):
Their tune a bit. But the other thing is.

Speaker 4 (01:48:21):
Talking to them literally right after you're going to get
a different answer than you would if they've essentially taken
a few minutes to process it because they're talking off
of emotion, not not necessarily.

Speaker 5 (01:48:38):
Reality or literally.

Speaker 4 (01:48:43):
Yeah, talking off of emotion and not necessarily reality because
they want or lost, especially if they lost, you're going
to get a different version of what you would have gotten.
You know, give it five to ten minutes to essentially
your head, but in you getting a hell out of

(01:49:03):
a lot of money to essentially keep it under your hat,
keep it. Yeah we did this, No we didn't, so
on and so forth. Okay, nothing about the coaches deaf,
because why the hell would you throw your teammates.

Speaker 5 (01:49:19):
And your coach is deaf under the bus. That is
an absolute detriment to your.

Speaker 4 (01:49:25):
Team, and it makes it all about me versus them.
And like one of the girls that I work with,
I don't work with her as much now, but she
always says, there's.

Speaker 5 (01:49:38):
No I int that's truth.

Speaker 3 (01:49:42):
You think about when he had punched somebody some years back,
and then you think about the flashing of the gun
incident two years ago, and now you're seeing this, and
keep in mind he got drafted by the Memphis Grizzlies
in twenty nineth. Team you just can't help but go like, really,

(01:50:04):
is this young man who's now twenty six, you know,
is he really worth because we got this guy in
twenty nineteen. So you guys, due to math, you definitely
obtained this person when he was a much younger man,
you know, from boys to men, and like, wow, this
much time has passed and he is still showing this

(01:50:28):
certain level of immaturity and he is getting a shit
ton of really good money. Go look up the salary
if you don't believe me. I mean, he's being paid really,
really good money. And this is how he's conducting himself.
I did see a little bit of his game play
against the Lakers, and I did it.

Speaker 5 (01:50:46):
Wasn't it enough to essentially give.

Speaker 3 (01:50:50):
That's where I no, this is why I was alluding to.
This is what I was alluding to. When he is focused,
when he is and he is, yo, I am one
of the absolute best. I'm gonna show you why I
like deserve every single freaking dollar that I get. You

(01:51:11):
know why I'm getting the contract I'm getting When he
decides he wants to play and let it be about
the game itself and not about feelings and all that
and all that shit. He is an explosive player. I
mean he's got great speed. You know, his passing is
is so on point. But I mean he's so explosive

(01:51:32):
with the speed as far as powering through to the
paint and all that and making a quick fast play
and scoring it within the paint. But what I saw
of him in the Lakers game, it just came off
after a while, like fuck it, you know, it's whatever. Yeah,
you know, I could go help my man double team

(01:51:55):
on that dude, but yeah, I don't really feel like it.
You know. It was just oh goddamn nonchalant the body
language that I saw of him playing and everything. And look,
if the team is essentially going, if they were kind
of like, well, we can't really count on him, because
then you know who I hold accountable for that. I

(01:52:16):
hold the coach. I hold the head coach accountable because
as the head coach, let me tell you something. If
I'm a general manager and I'm seeing that type of
behavior coming from my star player and my head coach
is not doing anything, okay, that says to me that
there is definitely a lack of respect that's kind of

(01:52:37):
going all the way around here, and that can very
easily latch on to the other players. So I'm gonna
nip that shit in the butt, Okay, Like if I
was the head coach, and it's like, even if I
don't have Jaw as part of whatever scheme I'm getting
ready to draw up in everything, Like if I can

(01:53:01):
tell because I got eyes and I see jaws not
really in the right headspace, I'm gonna pull Jaw from
from from off the floor and I'm gonna talk to
him privately. I'm gonna be like, are you okay? Some
might need to know, like what's going on with you? Okay, Well,
just just sit down, cool off, like you know it.

(01:53:22):
You know, we'll talk more about We'll talk more about
this later. I'm not gonna make a scene about it.
I'm gonna be like, sit down, you know, I'll check
in with you, and you know, when you're ready to play,
you know, you let me know, Like I'm gonna do
it like that. But to see this guy basically during
the huddle, not even part of the huddle, he acted
like he wasn't even on that team, like like he

(01:53:45):
acted like he was disgusted or whatever, and then he
essentially walked off the floor and went to the locker room.
I'm sorry, as a head coach, you're you're not playing again.
You're not playing again.

Speaker 5 (01:53:59):
I'm going would have been benched for the rest of
the game.

Speaker 3 (01:54:02):
Right, right, And I believe y'all can correct me from it.
I think this might have been towards the end of
the game or whatever. But like, regardless, I don't care
if there's a quarter left, if there's a minute left,
thirty seconds, like no, like that's it's just wrong. The
optics does not look right. So they need to do

(01:54:22):
something with this with this young man. You know, I
notice I'm not calling him a kid, even though it
would be with him my right to say that, because
I'm two times almost two times older than he is.
But I recognize he's a young man. I know how
I was at twenty six. I was still pretty hot headed,
still pretty immature. Thought that the world old me, not

(01:54:46):
the other way around. You know. I kind of had
that type of job morant personality. But no, there needs
to be a meeting of the minds. There needs to
be before that young man plays his next game. There's
seriously needs to be a behind closed doors meeting between Jaw,
the head coach, the general manager, and the owner. Because

(01:55:09):
if Jaw has gotten to a point where he's no
longer interested in playing for that team, that's fine, then
they need to do what they need to do to
facilitate a deal to get him traded elsewhere. Now here's
here's the problem. Here's a caveat to that. This obviously
will mean that he is going to have to prove

(01:55:30):
himself and and all that all over again, you know.
And then it also creates the question, with all the
drama that we just outlined, what team is really going
to jump out there and take a chance on him,
because that's a lot of baggage. That is a lot
of baggage. So and then I know, you know about

(01:55:53):
the NBA scandal that's going on. For those of you
that organized crime, I'm scandal that's going on. When I
first heard this, I'm going.

Speaker 5 (01:56:03):
Now remember you were supposed to tell me a little.

Speaker 3 (01:56:06):
More, Okay, Yeah, because like when I first heard this shit,
I was thinking, damn, is this like the current season
of Christopher Maloney and Law and Order Organized Crime? Like,
what the hell is going on here? So, federal prosecutors
have indicted current and former NBA players, coaches, and associates,

(01:56:27):
and what they describe as a wide ranging gambling and
fraud scheme involving rigged poker games and insider betting on
NBA games. Among those names Chauncey Billups, current current head
coach of the Portland Trail Blazers, Terry Rosier, guard for
the Miami Heat, and former player slash coach Damon Jones.

(01:56:51):
The schemes allegedly involved using non public or insider information
about player injuries or game availability to place bets, also
operating high stakes rigged poker games, many tied to organized
crime families, cheating victims through technology, for example, manipulated shuffling

(01:57:14):
machines and laundry funds. So the league's integrity under scrutiny
right now, no doubt. The NBA has publicly said it
is taking the matter with utmost seriousness, But the complexity
of criminal investigations means the leagues internal oversight and cooperation
with law enforcement face major tests. And you know, this

(01:57:39):
is definitely sporting integrity, definitely undermines trust fairness. But the
fact that we're talking about organized crime, the fact that
we're talking about in twenty twenty five, the mafia basically
you know, being involved in this. I mean when you
think about it, and everybody from sponsors to media to fans, uh,

(01:58:05):
the league, Uh, this is a high, high risk and
and if the results are to be perceived, what's the
right words I'm looking for that and compromised or influenced.
The NBA as a whole definitely is going to suffer.

(01:58:28):
And then you look at the regulatory and the legal implications,
especially on sportsbook betting. I mean there's a there's I mean,
this is so multi layered it's not even funny. I
mean obviously, and it's in until proving guilty. But you know,

(01:58:49):
we all that live in North America, we know that
when the FBI has come knocking on your door, they
got something on your ask Oh.

Speaker 4 (01:59:00):
Yeah, you know absolutely, they don't just come do it
for the.

Speaker 3 (01:59:04):
Hell of it, right, I mean you, I mean you
you know you in some deep doo.

Speaker 5 (01:59:10):
Dooo Yeah yeah, be like that a scene in casino.

Speaker 3 (01:59:15):
Yeah yeah, So.

Speaker 5 (01:59:18):
Yeah, that's that's that's not not good. And all those
that main.

Speaker 4 (01:59:26):
That main company, what is it sports betting, Kings, Kings Draft,
That's what it is.

Speaker 3 (01:59:32):
Draft, Kings, Draft.

Speaker 5 (01:59:33):
Kings, That's what it is. Yeah, And it's just like,
oh yeah, that's.

Speaker 3 (01:59:38):
Isn't that an oxy moron when you think about it,
Because it's the way it's legal to bet on games
through draft Kings and sports whatever, or you know, some
dumb fuck bet on this game dot com. You know,
but heaven forbid you get insider information, or you bring

(01:59:59):
the Mafia into bed like all of a sudden, that's illegal.
It's like wait a minute, like, well, we're doing this,
but we're doing this over here. And I'm not trying
to justify it or make it y'all, but it's just
it's kind of funny. Not funny when when when you
really take a step back and you think about it.

(02:00:19):
But man, just to know that in twenty twenty five,
to Mafia is still strong, I'm just going down.

Speaker 5 (02:00:24):
Oh you know it is. I'm like, damn, you know
it is that that ain't going nowhere now for me.

Speaker 4 (02:00:32):
For me, I find it kind of ironic that essentially
certain people are getting in trouble for putting the odds
back in their favor when literally, it's a system that's
it's a system that has been produced.

Speaker 5 (02:00:55):
To make money.

Speaker 3 (02:00:58):
I'm going to say something that's gonna blow a lot
of people's heads away, and a lot of you are
probably gonna be like, damn, Lee, I didn't know your
Encyclopedia of a brain was that deep. I didn't know you.
You you fucked like that hard uh in your street knowledge,
But yeah I do. Whoever is the content manager for

(02:01:22):
Sammy the Bull Ravano, please reach out to him and
be like, you know, we got to talk about what's
going on with the NBA scandal. Now. For those of
you that do not know about Sammy the Bull, Sammy
the Bull was a former mobster who rose to uh
the position of an underboss with the Gambino family out

(02:01:47):
in New York before ultimately becoming a uh before ultimately
becoming a government witness. And I wonder what happened with
TAM's that's kind of weird anyway, Damn you.

Speaker 5 (02:02:03):
There, I am, but I I went to move something
around and then it left. O.

Speaker 3 (02:02:11):
Well, I can I can hear you. We can still
hear you. So that's good. He played a major role,
did Sammy the Bull when it came to the prosecution
of John Gotti of the Gotti family, by agreeing to
testify against him, you know, they put him in witness protection, uh,

(02:02:32):
and all of that. The Bull you know, admitted to
committing like twenty murders and all of that. I mean
they were involved. I mean he was involved in some deep,
deep and a lot of the killings that he was doing.
You know, he was acting on behalf of the Gambino
you know, Gotti family and all that, and he got

(02:02:54):
himself a sweet ass deal because I mean he was flipping.
I mean he was snitching like a mofo. And at
one point, John Gottie he was like, Yo, I want
this mother, dad. I think he had like and I
could be exaggerating a number, but I think like maybe

(02:03:14):
like at one point there was like a ten million
dollar bounty to like have this dude be killed, Okay,
and he escaped. This is the crazy part sad with
the bull. He escaped prosecution because he gave them so
many people that when it came time for him to

(02:03:36):
face judgment day, they were like, oh, well, you know
his testimony it led to the convictions of you know, this, this, this,
I think he I think he gave him like fifty
convictions or some shit like that, some ridiculous number. And
so he was able to go into witness protection and
all that and was living a nice quiet life and
you know what the hell, vill did pretty well for himself,

(02:03:59):
but then found out that his son was selling ecstasy
or something, and rather than say to his son, what
the hell are you doing, he goes, you gotta give
me a piece of the action. Eventually him, his son
or son's daughter, mother, that whole family they go down.

(02:04:20):
Samite de Bull ended up doing I don't know, like
twenty something years. You know, he got out a couple
of years ago, but he's been doing a podcast ever since.
I watch it from time to time. I would love
to hear him go over what's going on with this
whole NBA scamdal And I bet you he could shut

(02:04:40):
a lot of light on. Yeah, that's nothing new, Believe.

Speaker 9 (02:04:43):
It or not.

Speaker 3 (02:04:43):
It may sound shocking to people, but yeah, we used
to bet one the basketball games all the fucking time.
And I would love for him to just the inner
workings and you know how all of that would would
play itself out so we can kind of understand this
a little bit more. I'm kind of curious for the
NBA players involved, especially those that had some type of

(02:05:09):
how do I say this, I'll just throw it out there.
How did you end up being in cahoots with the mafia?
Like did you owe so much money that the mafia
was like, we'll pick up the tab. But then it's like,
you got to do a favor for us, since we
did you this favor. Like I'm you know, hey, in
your game against the Knicks, you're gonna fake an injury,

(02:05:31):
like I'm trying to understand, And that very well could
have been the case. That very well could have been
the case.

Speaker 5 (02:05:39):
But your boxing, they used to call it taking a dive.

Speaker 3 (02:05:42):
Taking a dive. That thing you feel in the back
of your head, that's a thing called pride. Fuck pride.
In the tenth round, your ass go down, being Raims fiction,
he was saying to Bruce Willis, like, say, it's like

(02:06:04):
say it tenth brown, my ass goes down, my man.
But like, I find this to be the most fascinating
because you and me, we remember when the baseball steroids scandal,
and I was huge in the baseball at that point.
But once I found out that Mark McGuire, Sammy Salsa

(02:06:26):
and and Jose Canseco.

Speaker 4 (02:06:29):
I actually was watching it, and actually I was actually
watching baseball.

Speaker 3 (02:06:33):
Yeah, when I found that ship out, I was like, yeah,
I'm out, you know.

Speaker 4 (02:06:39):
Yeah, for me, it was McGuire, Sosa, and Ripkin.

Speaker 3 (02:06:45):
Oh Ripkin. I missed Ripkin seriously, Ripkin. You know, God
bless him. He got out at the right time.

Speaker 5 (02:06:52):
He did.

Speaker 3 (02:06:53):
He really really got out at the right time, you know.
But we went through that scan and it was like
and then we also experienced the scandal with Lance Armstrong, right, So,
I mean, there's no telling how this could go down.
I mean, this could open up some really really like

(02:07:14):
let me tell you. And why I'm going on and
on and on about this, I don't know if there's
any truth to it, and I'm not trying to throw slander,
so don't take it this way, folks. But it's already
a little bit of whispers Lebron could have been involved somehow,

(02:07:38):
so you know, you know, and if one, if one
motherfucker that's called by the FBI and is interrogated and
all that, it leads to another and it's like, yo,
I know where the bodies are buried, and like this
person snitches this person. I mean, we could be talking
about a pyramid that is going to be unraveling for

(02:08:01):
years to come. Yes, you know what I'm saying. So
and it is kind of one of those things where
it's like I don't know how close I pray to God,
like it don't involve Lebron directly. I hope it's a
case where it's like indirectly, like somebody that maybe used
to be part of Lebron's camp. You know, I'm hoping

(02:08:25):
there's some shit like that, because that would just surprise
the hell out of me if it turns out. But
at the same time it would also it would also
definitely uh it's hypothetically speaking, if it turns out Lebron
does have some type of you can forget about the
gold argument. Yes, yes, you say what you will about.

Speaker 5 (02:08:46):
Jordan, that him and that that realm would be no more.

Speaker 3 (02:08:52):
Yeah, let me ask you this real quick. Charles Barkley
was trying to say that for these players that because
Kenny Kenny Smith I'm talking of course, of course I'm
talking about inside the NBA guys. They were talking about this,
and Kenny was saying, you know, hey, I just don't understand.

(02:09:13):
You know, obviously these guys they have an addiction problem
and they need help. And and Charles and we know
the type of gambler that he used to be back
in the day. Charles was like, no, this is not
some type of a mental psychological issue. You know, these

(02:09:34):
guys are just fucking stupid. Yeah, yeah, you know, so
what what's your what's your position? What's your position on that?
Here are those two narratives which I'm curious where where
your headspace is at.

Speaker 5 (02:09:48):
My headspace?

Speaker 4 (02:09:50):
Is that whisper in the night that says.

Speaker 5 (02:09:58):
You're want to make an extra mile?

Speaker 3 (02:10:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 12 (02:10:01):
What I have to do?

Speaker 4 (02:10:03):
And I'm kind of thing, to be honest with you,
it's it's almost like the croocket cops. They're cops, but
then they can also get a little extra money as
long as they don't get caught. And sometimes after so
many years, you don't get caught, you don't get caught,
you don't get caught, and then you get more bold

(02:10:23):
and more boisterous about it, and then it's like, oh.

Speaker 3 (02:10:27):
Fuck, well, how do you justify these players that are
making these Let's be very specific because the scandal we're
talking about, the NBA scandal, I mean, I mean, I
mean everybody, what would you say, without even looking it
up online? What would you say the starting salary is
for a basketball player in twenty twenty five? Would you

(02:10:49):
say like easily a million to maybe three three million dollars?
Like easy or higher? Let's let's be generous let's let's
let's lowball. Let's lowball.

Speaker 5 (02:11:03):
Okay, say it's two million.

Speaker 3 (02:11:05):
Okay, so after taxes, that's probably.

Speaker 8 (02:11:07):
Going to be.

Speaker 5 (02:11:10):
A million and two maybe.

Speaker 3 (02:11:11):
Maybe maybe a million, maybe a million two hundred right right, Okay, okay,
So what I'm trying to understand is if you got
all that money, right, if Aunt Sue, if Grandpa Bill,
if your sister Meghan, you know, hey, look here you go.
Here's your money for your house. Hey, I know you

(02:11:34):
were trying to fix those pipes in your home. Here
you go. You know, hey, I know you just got married,
and you know you weren't able to do that cruise,
like here you go. What I don't understand is you
got all that money, why risk that, right, that great salary?

(02:11:57):
Why risk it to basically go in and be like, yeah, man,
I can make like fifty dollars off this one game.

Speaker 4 (02:12:07):
Okay, well, let's let's be Devil's advocate just a little bit.
But I'm going to tell you before I say that,
it's a one It's one word and only one word, greed.
For some, it's greed now because the more money I

(02:12:28):
can make, the more I can spend, the more you know,
all that. I mean, that's just a law of attraction.
You know, when you make more money, you spend more money.

Speaker 5 (02:12:38):
That's just how it is. Now. The other thing.

Speaker 4 (02:12:43):
Is, okay, these these athletes. Hell, let's let's go with Jordan.
Jordan was making Hella bank when he.

Speaker 5 (02:12:57):
Was in his prime.

Speaker 3 (02:12:58):
Yeah, how a bank.

Speaker 5 (02:13:02):
And he had the Nike deal, he had the Haynes deal.

Speaker 4 (02:13:04):
He had damn near at Space dam he had damn
near every deal known the man. If they wanted him,
you name the price, and the price looked good. Guess
what he was doing it.

Speaker 5 (02:13:18):
But he had hell of money.

Speaker 4 (02:13:19):
He was forgetting the best, biggest basketball player in the
nineties in early two thousands.

Speaker 3 (02:13:25):
Let's not forget because we watched the Last Dance. This
was the same Michael Jordan that would walk past a
hallway see the security staff crew playing dice and want
to get in on the action.

Speaker 5 (02:13:38):
Exactly.

Speaker 3 (02:13:38):
So to your point, agreed, Also factor in high stakes pressure. Yeah, definitely,
the high stakes pressure that's in there. The thrill seeking, right,
the thrill seeking yep. So not necessarily, you know, it's

(02:14:01):
not necessarily a chemical imbalance in the brain. It is
just one of those you remember that episode of the Flintstones. Where, Yes,
where Barney. Yeah, so there's this episode of the Flintstones.
You guys gotta check it out, Wilma tells. Wilma tells

(02:14:25):
Betty the story about how Fred used to gamble, and
that basically, whenever the word bett was thrown out there,
TAM's just did it, Fred would get into this rage
and he'd be like bet you know, and and apparently

(02:14:47):
Fred relapsed. I forgot the circumstances, but I remember Barney
was like, hey, Fred, Hey, Fred, we should be going
home soon. Wives are going to be cooking up a
good and uh. Fred was playing marbles with Arnold the
newspaper board or whatever, and he basically lost, like the television, furniture,

(02:15:11):
all of that.

Speaker 4 (02:15:12):
Yeah, the television was first, yeah, yeah, the rest of
the house furniture, yeah yeah.

Speaker 10 (02:15:18):
And then and then somehow and then somehow, I think
Fred ended up playing with Barney and Barney was like,
oh tick that beton.

Speaker 3 (02:15:29):
Fred just kirk the fu. Yeah, oh my god. So
I don't know, I don't know, but this is definitely
gonna be a continuing story because there's a lot of
twists and uh and and turns that's in this there's

(02:15:50):
definitely a lot more that because I mean, where do
you go with this, Because I mean you can also
look at it from access to insider info, influences, pressure, complacency, ego,
definitely underlying issues as I mean, it's so multi layer,
but I definitely feel the worst has yet to come

(02:16:14):
with what we're hearing about this.

Speaker 4 (02:16:15):
Oh this is just the beginning. They're still they're still
looking at everything. Yeah, there's not you know, there's so
much other information that they probably haven't even unraveled yet.

Speaker 3 (02:16:27):
Yeah. Yeah, Hey, before we get ready to dip out
of here, definitely, I want to give a shout out
to my brothers and sisters in the podcasting world. I
am seeing on social media that and TAM's will get
a kick out of this. Hey, yo, apparently stream Yard

(02:16:48):
has jacked up their prices yet again. And if you
already were like money's a little bit tight, now you're
really going, Okay, I really need to find some older
alternatives for my streaming platform needs not a cheap plug
or anything. I just something that was in the back

(02:17:10):
of my head and as I was actually getting ready
to give a shout out to our sponsors, it just
it just clicked in my head that because honestly, I've
been playing around behind the scenes looking at a couple
of different streaming options and because I wanted a little
bit more bang for the buck. I keep getting these emails.

(02:17:32):
Oh man, I did it again. God damn it. I
keep getting these emails from these people that are like, hey,
we can take your podcast and we can make clips
and we can do and I just emailed them one thing.
I just say. I just say fuck off. That's all

(02:17:55):
I say. I say fuck off. And I never hear
like I tried being nice. I said no, no, thank you,
I'm not interested. And then I would get, oh, is
there a particular reason why you're not interested? And they're
going through the whole Rebuttal. I could tell they're reading
a script, right, I could tell they're reading a little

(02:18:16):
Rebuttal script and all that. But look into Riverside. They
really have been coming along looking to those guys. And
I would also it really just depends on your budget. Really,
before you jump on whatever is meeting your budget, make
sure that all the features that you're accustomed to is

(02:18:39):
already there. And like if they give you some new
stuff that's like, oh, well, that's you know. Like, so,
for instance, Riverside, I'm taking advantage of a fourteen day
free trow that they got going on right now. And
what's really cool about this free trow is I'm able
to actually make clips from our shows now, Like they

(02:19:04):
got this really cool AI assistant that automatically does it.
So going are the days where I upload a clip
in Adobe Premiere and it's like, Okay, what segment was
that again? I think I want to go around the
I think I want to go around the ten minute
forty second mark or the No, I don't have to
do all that, I just upload my clip to Riverside

(02:19:27):
and Riverside will after several minutes. It's scary accurate. Hey,
here's what we recommend for some really good clips, and
if you like it, you export it and you automatically
put it on whatever platform can't beat that. And I
think you're able to do that for like twenty dollars
a month or something like that. So I'm like, I'm like, okay, okay,

(02:19:51):
I'm not sponsored by these guys. I'm just letting you
know what I'm doing behind the scenes because I am
