host on a show that is run by women and
all women. He will be the only male figure on
this fictional radio show which surrounded by women. He'd like
them to be topless, he said, but you know, maybe

they die, they would go to Valhalla. Heave yeah, and

surrounded by four women. He doesn't know who all the
four women are, but we're gonna have them come in

how to lead the show. I'm just getting this correct, right,
that your dream is to just co hosts. Yeah, okay.

(01:58):
And I asked him. I was like, oh, man, are
you coming up with stuff to talk about? And he
said no, Oh, you're not putting any effort in here.
I said wow, just because he was just playing solitary again.

together some topic ideas. Oh yeah, we already had a
little pre show meeting.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
I got Jeffrey.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
Jeffrey, yes, did he come up with some things?

Speaker 1 (02:30):
He refused and Folly just said no to me.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
No.

Speaker 1 (02:33):

We came up with a name of the show.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
Okay, boy, let me see what is the name of
the show?

Speaker 3 (02:43):
I actually love it?

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Hmmm. G Like she threw out some ideas and we
talked it.

Speaker 5 (02:50):
We talked him down, did a process of elimination, trying
to figure out which one to make the most sense?

Speaker 1 (02:55):
Which one did you come up with, Jeffrey, even if
it didn't get picked, Like, which one did you froze? There?
For second? I just I looked at him and for
a minute, my brain I actually physically was turned into
the fart box and he did not move, and for
a second, just a split second, my brain goes, oh
crack the video just from I'm actually looking at him

(03:17):
in real life and he was just so still, like
a stone statue. What yeah, what what name did you
come up with? Unfortunately?

Speaker 5 (03:24):
I come up with it, like, had a whole list
of them, okay, and we talked, We talked them down,
We talked them down through a process of elimination.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
Can I tell you the name that did not make
it but was in second place?

Speaker 1 (03:36):
Okay? Sure? What was that? Jlar's Angels?

Speaker 3 (03:42):
Well, I don't mind that that was a closed second.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
You don't like that went over? I kind of liked that.

Speaker 5 (03:49):
What it would make the most, It would make the
most sense of say, if I.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
Was a house, it would make more sense if they
all took off not their tops, but their bottoms. And
you call the jlars anals.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
Yes, funny, all right, that's not the kind of show
that we're gonna be doing, Rover.

If sex is part of the if sex is one
of the topics, Yeah, all right.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Are there any topics off limits? Or is everything fair
game today? On your show?

Speaker 5 (04:26):
It would be it would it would It would sort
of like be similar to our show. Every everything is
just like open minded and whatnot. We talk about everything
on our show, so nothing's off limits.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
Okay, there you go. She called she paid somebody to

well more than four chicks and a stick. Yeah, not

Speaker 3 (05:49):
We're not doing that.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
I think that's a good You can't you can't say hey, no, no,
you definitely can't. No, I've never suggested that. Only when
you're driving to somebody. All right, you got it, all right,
I'm learning this all right out, I'm learning this rovert.
You see that guy that's annoying you on the road,
You do that to him, You'll drive off the road

(06:11):
in a rage. You'll go, what does happened? Given the
bej and the ball? The ball juggling hands signment. No no,
that's an advanced technique. Don't try that your first go
around because you'll look like a fool. So don't do
the ball juggling. No, no, no, no. You have to
be a professional level. You have antagonized. You have to
be able to steer with your knees at that point,
because you're obviously you know, two hands are in that.

(06:31):
I don't know how tiny your penis is. You don't
steer with your penis. That's a great point. So I'm
just saying, don't do that first time. We're going to
start easy. It's the normal one normal.

Speaker 5 (06:41):
It's safe to say that being an instigator was either
the Greek profession or an Olympic event.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
Charlie would would top a gold medalist, basically king of
the hill when it comes to being an instator. Okay, uh, Dougie,
are you ready for the is shoes? Here we go,
dash dizzy.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
On rovers morning glory. Major US companies are donating to
Trump's extravagant new White House ballroom. There was a list
that came out yesterday. The east wing of the White
House is being demolished to make way for the ninety
thousand square football room, which is bigger than the White
House itself. The President says the three hundred million dollars
being spent to construct the ballroom all comes from donations.

(07:24):
The donor list includes tech giants Apple, Meta, Google, and Microsoft,
and defense contractors such as Pell and Teer and Lockheed Martin.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
I wonder what they're getting in return for giving all
that money. I guess nothing. Okay, go on.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
We also have a CEO?

Speaker 1 (07:42):
What is this?

Speaker 3 (07:43):
We have? Billionaire donors include casino mogul Miriam Adelson, Blackstone
CEO Stephen Schwartzman, and cryptocurrency billionaires Cameron and Tyler.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
Winklevoss The Wink Yeah, okay, what.

Speaker 3 (07:57):
About Amazon and T Mobile are also donating.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
I saw it somewhere.

Speaker 6 (08:01):
He said.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
He's raised three hundred and fifty million already. Oh, well,
what happens is the extra fifty Well, what happened to
him paying for it?

Speaker 3 (08:08):
Well, if you can get donors, yeah, okay, yeah, smart business, Okay, I.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
Guess all right.

Speaker 3 (08:14):
If nothing else, this crew deserves credit for effort. Thieves
cut a hole through the concrete roof of a Florida
mall and dropped in to steal four hundred between four
hundred and five hundred pairs of Nike and new balanced
sneakers where it's between forty and fifty thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (08:32):
This was at a Camps sporting goods store inside Treasure
Coast Mall in Jensen Beach. The sheriff there said the
crime seemed like something out of mission impossible, and compared
it to the recent jewelry heist at the Love Well.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
Yeah, except you're getting ten issues instead of one hundred
million dollars worth of jewels. But still that is an
elaborate heist. I suppose they get up on the roof.
They cut a hole on the roof, you got to
get down somehow from there.

Speaker 7 (08:59):
You know.

Speaker 3 (08:59):
Thieves used electric tools like a grinder or some a
saw to cut through the roof. They worked for hours
without being detected. They bagged the sneakers, threw them off
the roof, and loaded them into a getaway vehicle, though
some goods were left behind. It'll cost about ten thousand
dollars to repair the roof damage. Police believe the criminals
are organized and possibly traveling thieves who made their way

(09:19):
to that star. I may or may not have a
few beverages for our show later on, after our show,
little beverages, little mimosas for our crew for the aftermath
or the Friday Leftover show.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
She's stilling it already, Chili's what's that? She's already fake's
coming out show. I'm so fun, Mima, she won't drink.

Speaker 3 (09:54):
They have a little fun today with some mimosas. What
I did not bring.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
Jeffrey, are you playing mimosa.

Speaker 3 (10:01):
Just a little, just a little sick.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
You know what a mimosa is, Orange juice.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
I'm gonna do mostly orange juice with a splash of champagne.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
For Jeffrey Pea. I have to work at my fence
company today and got out very much. Limit my drunk.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
No, we're not gonna get drunk. We're going to have
a sip of champagne. It's going to be great. Well,
what I didn't bring was this product. The Boston Beer
Company is dropping extreme version of their sam Adams beer.
The twenty twenty five version of sam Adams Utopias has
thirty percent alcohol by volume, yeah, it's only available in
thirty five states because fifteen state states have laws banning

(10:39):
beer with such high alcohol content. Utopia's debuted in two
thousand and one and it's released every two years at
a higher alcohol.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
You just buy a bottle or how does that work?
I will get you? Why?

Speaker 8 (10:53):
No?

Speaker 1 (10:53):
I know, No, A sip would get you. I don't
know about this ship, but I drank there was a
beer that it was actually and it's weird. You think
with the higher alcohol it wouldn't be very good. But
there was a place here years ago, there's like this
little micro brewery place. It open up and they had
this pretty good beer that was like a twelve percent alcohol,
which is very high. Beer's what normally about five percent? Yeah,

(11:16):
you ever take Christmas aale is high? So this was
twelve percent alcohol and you didn't even taste it. Man,
and you you would drink this and two beers you
I was done, two pints. That's what cut water is over.
It's well, you need to try the cutwater because I
think it's thirteen percent. And what is cut water taste like?

Speaker 9 (11:36):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (11:36):
Well? Data, they don't taste like beer. It tastes like
oh yeah, yeah. But they have all different flavors. I've
only ever had the margarita one, so it tastes like
a margarita but doesn't taste like you're not tasting like
strong alcohol. You're just like, oh, it's good margarita. Drink
and it's so good, goes down very dangerous, and then
you're just it's over. You're over screwed up your You know,
everybody knows how much they can have. You've just blown

(11:57):
it up. Your brain doesn't realize that though, Like your
brain is conditioned like, oh, I can drink five beers
and be fine, but then you see, then you drink
three high alcohol beers and it's really the equivalent of six,
seven eight beers, and your your brain just doesn't compute.
Because we're stupid going this utopia cost two hundred and
fifty dollars.

Speaker 3 (12:16):
It's a special unique bottle and it'll set you back
two hundred and forty bucks. It's designed to be served
at room temperature.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
Oh okay, I don't like that. I should have gotten
a Christmas sale for today.

Speaker 3 (12:28):
I did mimosis.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
I can get us some Yeah, I'll get your Christmas aale.
You get lit on Christmas Hill, No problem, I'll work
on that. Okay, done.

Speaker 3 (12:35):
Sequille O'Neil's one hundred and eighty thousand dollars Range Rover,
which was customized to fit his brain and like the drive.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
Like seven feet tall seven one.

Speaker 3 (12:46):
Yeah, it's gone missing. Insiders believe it may have been
stolen when a car transport company was hacked. Now the
company that was customizing the car, they're offering a reward
for information leading to its return. His range were read
about this. So what they're doing now is, let's say
you have a transport company, a car carrier that's going

(13:08):
to take your vehicle from one place to another. I
you'll say, let's say I have a car and I
want to get it from here down to Florida.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
Well, what the thieves are doing is they're somehow getting
into the system, either hacking into the system of the
car transport place, or they're just calling up talking to
somebody and changing the drop off point. The car carrier
people drop off the car somewhere where the thieves just
get in. The keys are with the car transport company,

(13:40):
they hand it over to the thieves. The thieves signed
for it with a fake name, and they drive away.
They got it, so Lamborghini's rolls, Royce's. I was reading
about this. All have been stolen over the past few
months in this organized way.

Speaker 3 (13:54):
Yep, all right. Tonight Game one of the World Series,
the Blue Jays hosts the Dodgers and eight pm Eastern
time on Fox, So that'll be good. And then Saturday tomorrow,
Game two of the World Series, the Blue Jays host
the Dodgers eight pm Eastern on Fox. Speaking of sports.

Speaker 1 (14:14):
You going to do the World Series? It's going to
be now, I might have to split screen this.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
Playoffs MLS playoffs start tonight. Enter Miami's playing Nashville in
the playoffs playoffs tonight, Game one, best of three? So
what do I watch that? Or the World friggin Series?

Speaker 4 (14:33):
World Series? Yeah, if it's best of three.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
I'm gonna have to probably split screen this.

Speaker 3 (14:40):
What's best of three? The soccer?

Speaker 1 (14:41):
Yeah, but Hoss SHAWNA is going to be in it.
He's not going to be playing soccer Loan Sting or whatever. Whatever.
I don't know. He's going to be there. And that's
the best player in the world all the time. That's
best of seven though, so you watch that, you can't
watch seven? You watched that last game or the greatest
game of baseball ever played. What if he does it again,

(15:03):
You're gonna miss it? Well, I know I normally would
watch the World Series. I think I'm gonna have to
watch both. Come on, dude.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
Ace Freely was lead to rest this week Wednesday in
New York City was a small private ceremony. It was
in fact attended by the other three original members of
Kiss Geene Simmons, Paul Stanley and Peter Chriss, So he
was paid to rest. Very small ceremony.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
There you go.

Speaker 3 (15:28):
That is the shizzy on Rover's Morning course.

Speaker 2 (15:30):
When the yit goes down, you better be watching r MG.

Speaker 7 (15:36):
TV watch it live at Roverradio dot com.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
By the way, we were talking about the way that
the mob was cheating in those poker games with their
special cameras that they can put under the felt table,
so you have your poker cards on the table face down,
but they have a way to actually see through the
table and see the cards, which is amazing. They had

(16:23):
rigged card shuffling machines that would spit out to a
computer or a cell phone somewhere wirelessly. It would spit
out like hey, here's the order that these cards as
like a little camera. Here's the way that these cards
are being dealt. So you know, in addition to these
contexts that are especially devised to have a marked deck

(16:47):
and you put in these contexts undetectable by people, but
it filters out the specific wavelength of light or whatever,
and you can see each card on the back of
the card. You can see what that card is. It's
invisible to anybody. Would the naked eye looking at the
at the deck of cards? Oh, Jill animatesly do that too.

Speaker 5 (17:04):
I've seen this happen when I worked in the jail
and I was doing my rounds, like right before the
housing unit was let out for the day, you know,
it's let out for the afternoon and whatnot after we
take over. I thought, he has a pencil that uses
for drying writing letters.

Speaker 1 (17:18):
Blah blah blah. He was marking his cards, and did
you did you say anything? Did you say, hey, stop
marking your cards? In this game of prison cards stuff
where people get shanked if you lose, did you did
you say something? Or I just like, so, that's unusual,
but I just kept your mouth shut. Yeah, okay. But

(17:39):
also when I was in to see that that's a
visible if you mark a card.

Speaker 5 (17:45):
They found a way they could find a way to
do it.

Speaker 1 (17:48):
You can conceal it where the other players don't. Don't
know this shit, okay, but still it's visible to the
naked eye if you know what you're looking for. I guess,
but this was invisible uf you if you don't have
these contact lenses. But the point I was trying to
make is I was reading an article that said, all
of these tools, the rigged card shuffling machine, the x

(18:11):
ray they're calling it x ray, but it's not really
x ray. But whatever, the vision I R or something whatever.
The poker tables with the cameras that you can see
through from underneath, and the contact lenses all available online.
You want to run your own rigged poker game just
for your neighborhood poker. You know, we used to play
poker in the neighborhood and not high stakes like this,

(18:33):
but you know, people could be you know, if you
could win or lose five hundred bucks a night or something.
If you're running that poker game at your house just
for the neighborhood, you could rig it in a way
where you could where you could always win essentially, so
you can buy all of these These are not things
that they specially that the mob who was running these
things that they specially made, they just went online and

(18:57):
bought this stuff from China and you in as well.
I thought that was pretty interesting, and I wonder how
widespread that is that people are cheating in a way.
Obviously you have more. You know, some of these tools
are probably expensive. So if you if you're playing a
low stakes poker game in your neighborhood with the buddies
and people are winning or losing one hundred or two
hundred dollars over a weekend, that's not probably enough to

(19:18):
pay for a ten thousand dollars machine that will do whatever.
So to give you the cards, I've got to take
a break. We'll be right back on Rover's Morning Glory.
Hang on, forget about quitties, smoking, working out, eating rides.
Make your new habits something you'll actually stick with. Listen
to rovers Morning Glory.

Speaker 8 (19:40):
Now back to the show, Ugue.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
I know that you went through the process of getting
artificial insemination or in vitro, what was it actually technically called?
What you did?

Speaker 3 (20:07):
I did both. I did four rounds of artificial insemination.
That did not work, okay, and then I had just
a little bit of money left.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
That's where they basically turkey based you. They squirt sperm
inside of you and.

Speaker 3 (20:21):
Place it right to where the egg comes out. Okay,
when you're they know exactly you do all this stuff.
They know when you're about to release or whatever, and
then they're supposed to meet right there and who make
a baby? Four rounds?

Speaker 1 (20:34):
That doesn't work.

Speaker 3 (20:35):
I did idea which is very invasive.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
So that's where they take the egg out, They take
some sperm, they put them together in a petri dish.
They wait a few days or over long, I don't know,
and then they put it back in you, yes, as
a little eating bitty embryo, and then.

Speaker 3 (20:50):
They hope the body takes it nine.

Speaker 1 (20:52):
Months later out pomps gianna. Yes, so you got the sperm. No,
I know, there's a lot of conspiracy theories of Rover
must be Jia's father and so on and so forth. Yeah,
but tell us where you got the sperm from. I mean,
I don't need the name of the place, but how

(21:13):
exactly did you do it? I used two different sperm banks.

Speaker 3 (21:18):
The first one I used was for the artificial insemination.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
Okay, so you used that for did you use the
same guy four times? Okay, so it didn't work the
first time, you go forget that guy. Let me try
a new one, switching it all up.

Speaker 3 (21:30):
Okay, you used a different one, did a lot of research,
and I used a different one.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
For the in vitro for the IVF. Okay, what's the difference.
I mean, you're telling me you think you got better
sperm for the IVF.

Speaker 3 (21:43):
No, I know, I just used a different clinic. Different
they offer different things. The first one offered pictures. I
did not want to see what this person looked like.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
Why, I mean you wanted to see the pictures though
you did four rounds of artificial insemination where you saw
the pictures.

Speaker 3 (22:00):
Why then somebody that was that looked just like me.
I wanted somebody with dark hair, dark eyes. The person's
very tall, very smart, they were very outgoing, dimples.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
Sperm though they did not have good sperm obviously, or
you didn't have good eggs or whatever.

Speaker 3 (22:20):
I'm not sure, but it just didn't work. So then
I did it. I chose a different bank. So you
did the in vitro fertilization with a different sperm bank.
You didn't see the picture of the person who dark
only four eggs were good. And then my doctor tried
talking to me, I'm like, put all four in. He's like,
absolutely not. Think I put three in, okay, and then

(22:44):
two took and that one just shrivel up later or something,
and then Gianna was born. Now, how much is this?
How much does this cost? What are we talking about?

Speaker 1 (22:54):
How much? Twenty dollars? Okay, Well that's a lot of money.
And does insurance cover any of that?

Speaker 2 (23:07):
Or no?

Speaker 1 (23:07):
You're paying that out of your own pockets a lot
of money? Why so insurance? All right, So insurance doesn't
cover any of this anyway? Or maybe your insurance.

Speaker 4 (23:15):
Yeah, because my friend who I went to high school with,
she actually worked at a coffee company that had great
insurance and they paid for her to have her IVF
and stuff done.

Speaker 1 (23:28):
Really she yeah, she was.

Speaker 4 (23:29):
She always says like she thinks that company so much
for having such great health insurance to cover that, because
that's how she has her child.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
Do you think that Digi's insurance would have covered it?
And maybe she just didn't even ask.

Speaker 4 (23:40):
Or bother we're on the same insurance, right, It's.

Speaker 3 (23:45):
Always you're says the guy that I just asked an
update about your arm, and you can't from your one doctor,
you can't get results.

Speaker 1 (23:55):
He doesn't have anything to do with insurance, but I'm
sure it does. It doesn't. Yeah, So the exorbitant cost
of doing this has led to what they are calling
a sperm black market and what people are doing, particularly
I guess over in the United Kingdom is where this

(24:16):
article is, but they say it's happening all around the world,
even here in the United States, where people are saying,
you know what, I could spend twenty five thousand dollars
to go the traditional route, or I could go into
a forum or now there is an app that they
have which is called what is it, the y Factor.

(24:40):
That's a startup app where they say that that is
they build themselves of the modern ethical way to connect
donors and recipients. So it's almost like a dating profile
that you set up. If you want to be a
sperm donor, you open up this app, you maybe put
a picture of yourself, some photos of you now, maybe
even baby photos of yourself from back in the day.

(25:04):
Tell a little bit about yourself. What do you do
for a living? You know, all the kind of stuff
that you will put in a dating profile, you put
that in your sperm profile, and then women who are
in need of sperm can pick a guy. Now it's
up to you to arrange how you get this sperm

(25:24):
transferred and if there is a fee. The app says
that about seventy percent of donors offer their sperm for free.
There is a little bit of a catch involved here.
Seventy percent may offer it for free. However, how are
they donating said sperm. Oftentimes they're not going to a
clinic to do this. They're taking the on naturalralle way,

(25:47):
which is, hey, I'll have sex with you, and that's
what people are doing. Isn't that that's so? I mean,
first of all, Chruss, how do you even work this
something like this out? A lot of these dudes are
just horny dudes, There's no doubt about it. I Mean
some of the guys are even just saying that in
their profile. I was like, Yeah, I'll give you the

(26:08):
fretey sperm in exchange. You sleep with me and I'll
give you my sperm. That's what you want. I want
to I want to screw and everyone makes well.

Speaker 3 (26:17):
Was there a contract, because what happens with well, you
got me pregnant and now you have to pay me
child support.

Speaker 1 (26:25):
It's I don't know if the app itself involves any
sort of contract, or if you have to do that
on the side or on your own or whatever. But
would you ever you were desperate? Would you ever desperate?

Speaker 3 (26:37):
Because I could have gone to a bar.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
Now, listen, I had I could have paid twenty thousand
dollars to get knocked down.

Speaker 3 (26:43):
Desperate. It's just it was a desperate I had a
couple of miscarriages. I really wanted a child. I looked
into adoption. It was way more expensive, so expensive and
IVF for any of this. It's very invasive. It's not easy.

Speaker 1 (27:01):
It's not an easy process to put your body through.

Speaker 3 (27:04):
Could have gone to a bar and you could have
got just screw a dude.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
That's what I'm saying. You paid all this money did I.

Speaker 3 (27:11):
Wanted to do it. I wanted to do it where
I knew they were going to give me everything on
the up and up. It's these are clinics that do everything,
that test these guys, and they give you all the information.

Speaker 1 (27:25):
I don't want to just have some guy fill it
out himself. Well, it would have been a hell of
a lot cheaper, that's for sure. Not worth it. Steve
in New Jersey, you're on rovers Morning Glory, Good morning.

Speaker 6 (27:36):
Steve, Hey, good morning guys. What's going on?

Speaker 9 (27:39):
See what's happening? Not much so usually against Douge. Okay,
usually I don't agree with her. It can't relate to her.
But me and my wife did a successful abount.

Speaker 1 (27:51):
Of IVF in twenty twenty one.

Speaker 6 (27:54):
I was the issue. My boys were not.

Speaker 1 (27:59):
There that well, you know, weak swimmers basically.

Speaker 9 (28:04):
Basically, and they were a little confused with their directions.
So my wife wasn't the one with the issues. But
it was six months of shots to the tea every
day at the same time, twelve hour intervals that I
had to give her. And these were big, those men.
So the fact that dude went through this four times, like,
we were very blessed. Not only was it successful for us,

(28:26):
but our work at the time provided the benefits that
it was like seventy to eighty percent covered, so we
only paid a small amount out of pocket. Now, it's
it's a rough subject because you don't know who the
issue is. The woman is, the man, you know, you
don't know underlying things, to costs more to get all
the preventative tests done.

Speaker 6 (28:46):
So it is slippery slope. But I mean like the.

Speaker 9 (28:49):
Fact that, dude, the fact that you went through that
four different times on like.

Speaker 6 (28:54):
I can't it was detrimental going through it with great results.

Speaker 1 (28:59):
The first Steve, let's just say that you powerful. Let's
say Steve that you couldn't that your insurance didn't cover it,
your wife desperately wants a kid, you have beds.

Speaker 6 (29:10):
It happened, no matter what would.

Speaker 1 (29:11):
You have Would you have allowed a guy on a
forum or an app to you know, maybe you don't
have the twenty thousand dollars to do this medical procedure?
Would you allow a third party donor so to speak.

Speaker 9 (29:26):
Now we were talking about like go fundmes and stuff
and having like somebody doing anonymous GoFundMe to create a
package for it, because but everybody send.

Speaker 3 (29:36):
No money.

Speaker 9 (29:37):
Yeah yeah no. But in all seriousness, the fact of
the matter was that I come from not knowing my
biological father. So I it was to me to pay
it forward to have a child, to bother that child,
to know that child, and be that child's father.

Speaker 6 (29:57):
And when I met my wife. She's a moncht amazing
person in the world.

Speaker 9 (30:01):
And why wouldn't I want to have this dynamic duo
with a child?

Speaker 6 (30:06):
About thanks?

Speaker 1 (30:08):
Thank you?

Speaker 6 (30:09):
And adoption is really expensive, crazy expensive, and the.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
Kid's not even like biologically related to you. And that
I'm not saying that the kid. I'm just.

Speaker 6 (30:23):
Those kids are damaged. Man, You're better off getting a
freaking dog at a town.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
Jeeja.

Speaker 9 (30:30):
Those kids, those families, they just go through so much,
and these poor kids, they don't get the support they need.

Speaker 1 (30:36):
Tell it, Steve, thank you. By the way, now you
can go back to hating Doogie. So what you're telling
me is you would not use one of these things
if it was much cheaper. If it's forty bucks that
you're paying to a guide for his sperm or something,
or you had to put out, but he'd You would
not have done that, even if you were desperate for
a child, if you didn't have that twenty thousand dollars,

(30:58):
you still would not have done that. You wouldn't just
go to a bar and get a guy. Why not?
Why not?

Speaker 3 (31:07):
I just I can't. That's not who I am. I
don't have it in me just to go to a bar.
And bang it were you trying to get it in you?

Speaker 1 (31:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (31:20):
That wasn't funny.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
Now, all right, so you would not do Crystal? Would
you have done that? If she's on the phone, never
mind Crystal. Would you if if you you wanted well, no,
you didn't want to have a child. No, there was
an accident, yes, so to speak, because you were okay?
Would you if you if you wanted to have a child. Now,

(31:45):
let's say you and your boyfriend, she got this boyfriend
she brings up every day. They are in love with
each other, puke. If he wanted to have a kid.
But let's say you he his swimmers weren't good. Would
you would you take a sperm donor or whatever? Or
would you would you do? Would you go through all
of this if that was our desire?

Speaker 4 (32:06):
Yes, if we were and he was tested and we
found out yep, you're the have a low sperm count.

Speaker 1 (32:12):
It's not going to work out for you.

Speaker 8 (32:13):
Guys.

Speaker 1 (32:14):
You're gonna either have to get a donor, then we
probably would. I would definitely consider that, even if it
was twenty thousand dollars.

Speaker 4 (32:22):
If my insurance that they were covering it, say they
don't cover it, they're not covering it, and you guys
are have to come up with this money. I'd be like,
we have to rethink something. Would you would you try?

Speaker 1 (32:33):
Okay, so if it's twenty thousand dollars, you don't have
the twenty grand, insurance doesn't cover it, you desperately want
to have a kid. Would you? Would you do one
of these alternative things like what they're calling the sperm
black market? Would you go on an app or a
forum or whatever and either put out to a guy
or I don't know how you would donate it, Like
how would you keep it actually constituted or whatever? And like,

(32:55):
I don't know how if you don't have sex with
the chick, I don't know how you're going to donate exactly.
I don't know would would you go that route?

Speaker 4 (33:04):
I honestly would probably talk to him about here's some
people in our life that we think are smart or
good looking or and kind of say, hey, should we
ask somebody close to us?

Speaker 1 (33:14):
First top of the list would be me, of course.

Speaker 4 (33:16):
Then we would move out, Hey, this isn't you know
nobody we know wants to donate.

Speaker 1 (33:20):
Then maybe we wait to somebody that you know. Okay,
but you wouldn't are you talking about like you'd put
out like it's just a a like an actual physical intercourse.

Speaker 4 (33:29):
Now you would put the deposit into a turkey based bag,
and then we would immediately maybe you're in the house
in a different room, you do your thing, you come out,
you give it to us, and we that's great. To
do the whole entire you know, the whole thing, the
process after that. Yeah, but and be like, yeah, sit
with your legs.

Speaker 1 (33:46):
Up and the way. All the women who are trying
to get pregnant to do.

Speaker 4 (33:49):
All these weird things like here, sit this way, or
do this to get pregnant, we would try that.

Speaker 1 (33:54):
A few approach with the guys in your life that
you liked and you had respect and you thought we're
good looking and intelligence and so on and so forth.
And the guy goes, sure, I'll do it, but I
want to do it the natural way. I want to
you know, like, yeah, I feel like I'm sorry, but no, no,
we're have to pay such a prude. Yeah that's right,
you're not going to do that. No, no, all right, Charlie,

(34:15):
there is bad news for you. I saw something yesterday
has nothing to do with sperm donation. And by the way,
would you ever donate your sperm? Let's just say. Now,
the guys who donate the sperm, they're not paid a
bunch of money. But let's say that. Let's say that
you could donate sperm. I don't know, once a quarter,
every three months, well, let's say every month. I don't

(34:36):
know how often you could do it. Let's say you
could do it every month and they paid you a
thousand bucks a pop. Would you do that? Yeah? Even
if not even a question, even if you wouldn't freak
you out knowing that you could potentially have all these
kids running around if you don't know, No, it's kind
of cool. Really, a bunch of Charlie's out there. Yeah,
that'd be awesome. And then I don't have to raise

(34:56):
I don't have to raise That sounds pretty cool. I
don't have to pay for I mean, that's clear, I'm
not paying anything. What's the amount of money that it
would require? Then if they paid, I don't know what
they paid. Let me just said, really, let me just said,
let me have a I'd probably just give it away
for free. If you want them, I'll give it to you,
send me, send me a cup, and I don't have
a problem. I have no problem with having kids out there.

(35:18):
That'd be kind of cool, because I would, you know,
I just don't want anything to do like the idea
of the of a kid. I don't want to have
to raise water. But you like the idea of passing
along your Janetta, Well that's keeping the lineage a lot.
That part's cool, But the actual paying for them and
them ruining my life and ruining my house and everything.

(35:40):
Have your parents said anything to you, like my mom
will occasionally you need to have a kid, you know,
I go, okay, mom, cell phone's cutting out, gotta go.
But I do have sisters, uh and and one of
my sisters has a couple of kids, So I guess
that you know that the line carries on. But have
your parents? You have you and you have a brother.

(36:02):
Neither one of you have kids. You say you don't
want to have kids. Are your parents? Do they ever?
Do they ever bring this up to you? Do they
ever say, oh, we'd love to have grandkids. Do they
ever encourage you to put on that or does it
bother them? I don't think they've ever mentioned it. Really
don't think they don't think they care, So they're okay
with just this branch of the family tree, probably withering

(36:23):
on the vine, dying off, probably for the best. I
don't think that I'm really the north Ridgeville Police Department,
thanks you child. I'm trying to think if they've ever
mentioned it.

Speaker 4 (36:32):
Ever, I think they mentioned the other way, like you
probably shouldn't have kids the no, no, nothing, no nothing, No,
my mom, I don't think.

Speaker 1 (36:40):
My dad's definitely never mentioned it. But my mom, I'm
trying to think. I don't think she's ever that interesting
because she has two boys. You know, you think that
maybe she might want you or your brother to have
a kid. She could be a grandmother, right, but maybe not.

Speaker 3 (36:57):
Maybe she's your brother he doesn't want kids either.

Speaker 1 (37:01):
No, no, why not? Just same reason I don't Yeah,
just ruined. Yeah, I mean well, I mean your lives,
you're if you're in life is ruinedsery awful, I mean nothing.
She's never had a moment of fun to herself, but

(37:23):
you've in the last sixteen years where she did something
independent from her daughter that was true also fun at all. Ever,
her whole life is revolves her whole social group around
the dance, around her dance and cheerleave and that sounds
and then it will be when Gianna goes off to college.
If she goes off to college, Douey's whole life will

(37:44):
revolve around that. God forbid, she goes to some college
where you know they have a big sports program, and
then doo, she will be coming in with little face
print out. Oh yeah, it can be so awful, man, terrible.
It's a different kind of fun and a different kind
of Yeah for you, it's for you. It's fine to me.
That's Charlie was hit. For him. Fun is driving around
in the flea infested RV with a bunch of drunk

(38:07):
guys and overheating, sucking in gas fumes. They like that. Yeah,
no response. Yeah, nobody's relying on me. I don't have
to try life, I guess because what happened. What if
I if I sudden screws up, it's just me. That's fine. Yeah,
your heat gets turned off.

Speaker 4 (38:23):
You don't have to worry about a child's feezing or
if you have no money, you got to feed this kid.

Speaker 1 (38:28):
That is something I think about, Like it's weird, like
being like I was always you know, I'm selfish. You
know this. You guys all know this, but like having
a wife, you are you know, you feel responsible for
your wife. It's a responsibility to provide.

Speaker 3 (38:49):
And her parents live across the street and they're better
than I'm saying, he's going to be what I'm saying now.

Speaker 1 (38:55):
You have a little bit of It's not anxiety, I'm
not going to say that, but it's something that always
Jesus hanging over your head. I think, you know because
as a as a guy, I look at it like, hey,
if I were to fail in life, if something were
to happen, I go bankrupt or whatever the case may be,
that would be okay that because it's just on me.

(39:16):
I don't you know, I can live with that. I
don't want it. You would probably fix it yourself too,
But it's not it's not. If you don't, you'll be
you'll live, You'll be fine, You'll be like, all right,
this life kind of sucks. At least just my life.
That sucks a bunch of But then when you're married,
you're like, well, I have another person that i'm responsible.
Well that's a hurtful. She should get a judge, you
could say, get to work. I'm no, she should have

(39:38):
gotten the better husband is what you should have done.

Speaker 3 (39:40):
Right, she should pay your car payment so that you
can mope and be depressed.

Speaker 1 (39:46):
Listen to her. Yeah, but here's how long did you
pay his card payment? You're saying you paid rovers car payment?
What she only brings this up about?

Speaker 9 (39:54):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (39:55):
Once a monthought it's been thirty days. Got to bring
that up. Wait, here's the car. Here's the point. Here's
the point. See, you did that, and you allowed me
to flourish because while you were going to work at
Applebee's to earn money to pay for my car, I
was sitting there coming up scheming with the way. How

(40:16):
am I going to You're misreading flourished word I flourished.
I would have flourished either way. I just flourished in
style driving around a Porsche that she paid for. Okay,
that's the difference. I would have flourished either way. I

(40:37):
just would have you know, been I had no ride
at all while I schemed and devised my next way.
But when you have a wife, you are now responsible
for that person. And I'm just telling you, like if if,
if if I had a kid, that's a lot hanging
over your head. Like now I go, if I lose
my job whatever, you know, Like I don't. I don't

(41:00):
lose my job, but I'm saying, like I'll figure out something.
It's going to be tough, so on and so forth.
Nobody wants to go through that. But if you have
a kid, man, your feet are to the fire. And uh,
that's that causes a lot of anxiety. I think you
can't let a lot of pressure.

Speaker 3 (41:16):
You got to just because if you stop and think
about it like that, it will devour your whole mindset.
You just put your head down and you just keep
going and you know that you're a parent and you
got to do the best that you can to provide
for your kid. It's not always going to be easy.
It's going to be hard at times, but you just
keep going. And that's because you also have to teach
it at them to be strong as they get older

(41:39):
a lot it's going to be fine. Does your mom
not realize you're not having kids?

Speaker 1 (41:46):
I don't think it's something yet.

Speaker 3 (41:47):
Does she not get the clue?

Speaker 10 (41:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (41:49):
I mean really, how does she not?

Speaker 1 (41:51):
Fiftieth birthday would have been like, oh, maybe it's at
that point where.

Speaker 3 (41:55):
You're fine, you can keep going. But your wife has.

Speaker 1 (41:58):
Made it very my second wife. If I will have
a child, you know, I'll be like seventy like Hugh
Hefner or something. I can knock up my new wife.

Speaker 3 (42:06):
It's exhausting, So you got to do it now you can't.
I mean, I know you're not going to, but fifty's
that's very tiring.

Speaker 1 (42:15):
Well, Charlie, I did say that there was some bad news.
I saw something that I think is bad news for you.
I'll tell that to you in just a minute. Roco.
You're on Rovers Morning, Glory Morning, Rocco.

Speaker 6 (42:27):
Anywhere are you doing?

Speaker 1 (42:28):
Hey man, what's happening?

Speaker 6 (42:31):
I was talking about You.

Speaker 11 (42:32):
Were talking about the sperm donations and stuff like that. Yes,
there's actually an app onslist right now under the gigs.
It's a thousand dollars berm donations for making a change
in the worlds for helping bring new license to the world.

Speaker 1 (42:47):
Seems like a scam though to me that you can
find like a thousand dollars okay, but there are tons
of guys that would donate sperm for little to know money.
Why are they offering a thousand It sounds like some
sort of weird scam that's going on or whatever. Because
do we really need change in the world to bring life.
There's enough people out there screwing bringing life into the world,

(43:08):
going on to a bar, knocking up some random hull
all the time. This, you know, I don't know. Is
that worth a thousand dollars? I don't think so. Dean
in Rochester, New York, he around rovers morning Glory, Good
morning Dean, Good morning rover.

Speaker 10 (43:24):
Man's a question, and I don't mean any disrespect to Dougie,
but do you think that the sperm you chose, or
anybody chooses comes from a very smart, say wealthy, well
to do man, because that's what he wants to do,
raw dogg it to donate.

Speaker 6 (43:40):
Sperm, or somebody like Jeffrey that.

Speaker 10 (43:42):
Has just enough one to do one level laundry. I
have to wait till the next day to do the
second lettle lundry.

Speaker 1 (43:48):
Yeah, who's going to be.

Speaker 6 (43:49):
More you know, who's going to be the more likely?

Speaker 1 (43:54):
Yes? Yes, No, Dean is a great point, and I
think the point he's making is correct. But Indugie, mind,
she's got sperm from like a no I six foot two,
college educated, former former college quarterback and Division one like
that's what that's what college student yeah. Yeah. Everybody says

(44:15):
that every stripper I've met is paying her way through school.
There's a college student that's a stamp.

Speaker 3 (44:21):
Okay, I'm just telling you that there are clinics that
gives me college. Yeah, okay, that's fine.

Speaker 1 (44:27):
I'm just saying, uh no, No, that's the way they
sell it, like, oh, we only take top non sperm donor.
As we screen all of our people. Now they they
have a need, people buy this sperm.

Speaker 3 (44:38):
That's fine.

Speaker 1 (44:39):
So they are incentivized to get as much sperm as possible.
Almost dude walks in off the street. They give them
a cup and say, go out opinion.

Speaker 3 (44:47):
Do you think you know it? I also know the result, Okay,
I know the result of my daughter.

Speaker 1 (44:52):
Have you guys ever met a sperm donor.

Speaker 3 (44:55):
I don't think people like people go around talking about
the sperm donor.

Speaker 1 (45:00):
I'm not proud of that, knowing that they have kids
out there. I would do it if they pay, like
if I you know, I guess no, I know. But
if if it's like fifty bucks, I'm not gonna It's
a lot of work.

Speaker 4 (45:11):
You have to go there, you have to do it. Yeah,
do you get to see their pictures? Or do you
just get a written profile. Oh he has some brown hair.

Speaker 3 (45:19):
Some places do, some places don't. The first place that
I went to, I they offered it. I saw a
picture was like a surfer guy. I did not want
to see it. I hated seeing that picture. He had
long hat. I just he was like this, uh pang dead,
he just had like I just hated seeing that. Those
were the rounds that did not work. So then I

(45:41):
switched it up a couple of times with the artificial insemination,
and then I did a whole.

Speaker 1 (45:46):
New So when you decided to finally not look at
the picture, that's when the guy was perfect.

Speaker 3 (45:50):
No I did.

Speaker 1 (45:50):
He looked at the pictures. They were all bad.

Speaker 3 (45:52):
No.

Speaker 6 (45:53):
No.

Speaker 3 (45:53):
I did a couple of rounds with the artificial with
different donors, and then I went to the IVF.

Speaker 1 (45:59):
That was just then you didn't see that guy's Okay,
I've got to take a break. We'll be right back
