the radio show. He's a he's a big nicky glazier guy.
He told me so off the air. Guy that really,
let's face it, when it comes to the sports talk
host this country has to offer, he is.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Among the top tier, no question about it.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
I believe what number twelve were you in the Barrett
Afternoon Drive ranking twelve twelve?
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Number twelve, Yeah, just like the Seahawks number. To vote
of our industry friends, Yes, well twelve beat sixteen, So
congratulations to you.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
But anyway, I digress, one of the premiere sports talk
radio hosts this country has to offer number twelve on
the major market top twenty one. Damn fine American one,
damn fine Greek American, the prince of big skin and
the hero for millions of men in Southern California, Our
friend Petros Papadakis brought to you by Well, that would
(01:36):
be the one and only Sweet James, the dense beard
of justice, who can come through for you.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
We all know and love Sweet James and what he
has to offer.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
If your house has been destroyed in a fire, if
you've been hurting a car accident, our motorcycle accent, if
a dog has bitten your balls, Sweet James knows how
to extract the money you deserve from your insurance company,
like leaving Saigon or Afghanistan. Give him a call eight
hundred nine million, eight hundred nine zero zero zero zero
zero or sweet change dot com. Yeah he congrats on
the top twelve ranking. Pell Oh whatever, what do you mean?
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Whatever? I don't know why.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
We started paying attention to that on the show, but
I mean, those are nice people over there.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
I got nothing against him. I saw where Hugh Jackson
was on your show and congrats. No, no, somebody bought. Uh.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Every once in a while, somebody will buy one of
those cameos, all right, right to make fun of us.
And they bought Hugh Jackson a long time ago. They
bought to Kenbe Matumbo. That was amazing there you go. No, no, no,
God rest his soul. This is petrosy really good.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
But no, yeah, that's that's all that was. Uh.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Anyway, I'm happy to be here. I hope things are
going well in Seattle. It's raining here. Yeah, if it's
any consolation that's in Los Angeles it's raining, which is
you know, great for all those burned up hills. There's
mud slides are going to destroy all the people cleaning
up the fire stuff. Well, no rain here. You can
have all of our rain. But it is like in
the low thirties, high twenties freezing. Our tutsis off out
here and beautiful skies though, but the weather's kind of cold.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
But hey, dude, let me ask you. Yeah, thank you
very much to Ken Bay.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
By the way, you know who else is on cameo
and I believe our producer Jackson Feltz can confirm this.
Dick Fane is on cameo if I can totally see that. Yeah,
are you on cameo?
Speaker 2 (03:22):
His money on Cameo?
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Well, I give my phone number out once a year
on the radio. So if somebody wants something for their
nine year old, I tape a video for twenty seconds and.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
I send nice and you don't charge for that. No,
look good for you.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Well, if you give your number out on your radio show,
why can't we give your number out on this radio show.
Maybe I'll do it simultaneously when I do the other
one at the same time of year.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Can we do it now? No, you can wait till July?
Well why not? I want to do it now.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
It's a July thing. Sorry, Hey, how fired up? Are
people down right? Christmas in October?
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Brother? Come on?
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Well, sometimes you know if you're deployed or whatever or
not on I got to deployed my balls. Hey, are
people jacked up for Luca and Lebron? The Lebron Luca
duo down there?
Speaker 2 (04:04):
How about that? Us not about Lebron, that's the thing.
It's always about Lebron.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
But that's the thing now that there's the first time
since he showed up anywhere that it's not about Lebron.
It's not about Lebron in Miami, it was about Lebron
in Cleveland twice. It was about Lebron when he came
out here and took control of the whole thing, much
to a lot of people's chagrin. And I'm not even
a Laker fan, and it makes me sick. It's all
(04:28):
about Lebron. But now it's a twenty five year old
guy who cares if he's fat and drunk. Remember the
NBA in the eighties. Those guys were the best, and
they were all fat and they were all drunk. So
it's an exciting thing. Yeah, absolutely, Why is the one
thing I could tell that the Lebron people really hate
it and all of this is just posturing and like, hey,
(04:49):
this is great. Is the people that love Lebron and
the people that are close to Lebron are really angry
about this. Really, yes, and that makes you happy? Oh,
that desperately happy? Well, I just don't lie. I think
it's a terrible thing. You know, And obviously players have
controlled the league for quite some time. But what Lebron
(05:11):
has done and manipulated and what he's done behind the
scenes clearly if you look from far away and then
you see the same thing happens. The firing of coaches,
the getting rid of the sidekick superstar, the lebron needs
more help, the sub tweeting, all the weird stuff he's
(05:31):
done over the years, and now you know his son
and JJ Reddick, who's actually doing a good job.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
All of those things. Ah man, it's just it's.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
I'm tired of this guy being in control of the
franchise in La Charlotte.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
It'll be over soon. The nightmare will come to an
end soon.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
But I guarantee you this weekend NBA All Star Game,
NBA Finals, if the Lakers aren't playing, he will wind away.
No one cares about the All Star Game, but he'll
say we'll do. Some will care about the All Star Game.
Not it's not the event that it was. I used
to watch, Oh, I used to love you know what, Petros,
I'm going to point now, and I've said this on
(06:09):
the ear NHL All Star Game, Baseball, Pro Bowl, Basketball,
I don't care about any of them.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
No, none, no.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
And that's just part of the way sports has developed.
And we can be two old sports guys on the
Barrett List arguing about and just discussing about how cool
the All Star Game and the dunk contest and the
three point thing was when we were kids, and now
it sucks balls. But you could say that about the
NBA and its whole entirety, right, And you have all
(06:39):
the bitterness in the world, and you're lucky to have
it because of the SuperSonics, and you're you're lucky that
you didn't have to be eyewitness in your own town
to the death of the league. Poor David Stern. I mean,
you got this freaking Nosfaratu looking guy, Adam Silver, six
feet deep in a coffin.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Blah blah. I'm tired of it.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
He does look like the spawn of the old man
from Poltergeist. He remember that.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Yeah, the player Empowerment Area era.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Blows less power for players, more power for rich white dudes. Yes,
that's what you want, especially if they're white.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Speaking of speaking of rich white guys.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Speaking of rich white guys, did you see where Pete
Carroll hired not one but two of his sons, Brennan
and Nate.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Are both joining Pete in Vegas? How about that?
Speaker 3 (07:35):
I love the white nepotism, you know, I think of
it like, you know, in my my in my dad's restaurant.
You know, I went, I went straight to waiter, you know,
because you're a white guy, right, white My dad owned
the place, white guy, another white guy. You should have
just called the damn place white guys and been.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Done with it, whitey Fordes. But he hired both with
his kids.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
And you see who else hired another Belichick is Bill's
bringing two of them to Carolina.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Not to bring it back to the Lakers. But I remember,
I remember when you just whined about everything being about
Lebron and the Lakers.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Yeah, no, no, I remember when Phil Jackson was the
head coach and he was old. He's still old, and
he was all old and hunched and miserable, and he
was dating Genie, and anybody that talked to Genie he'd
give you a glare from like half court, looking all mean,
really and oh yeah, but he was He would say anything.
(08:32):
He'd call people out in the media, he'd call out
his players like he reached the point because he was
so old that he just didn't care, right, And maybe
you could say the same for Lebron. Yeah, put my
kid on the team. Sure, he's going to dribble the
ball off his leg like Alie and Hoosier's but whatever,
you know.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
So, uh, it's it's kind of a pattern.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
I guess when people get old and they have a
whole bunch of power, Yeah, they bring their kids along. Well,
Pete's been hiring his son since ninety eight. Yeah, and
then the other son, you know who was playing high
school football up here at my alma mater when Pete
was the head coach at USC. So it's not a surprise.
And at this point, I mean, it's pro football, and
(09:14):
it's not like you have your kid in a helmet
out there long snapping. He's just out there wearing a
polo saying things and chewing gum like Pete who cares.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Well Brian Belichick.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
I mean, he was coaching safeties for the last five
years in New England, So I mean, I'm sure he
got the job on just all merit, no nepotism whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
You know, I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
I mean I remember right when I was first at USC,
John Robinson, god rest his soul had his son as
the tight end, as the tight end coach, which is
sort of where you hide a coach, you know, back
in the day, the tight end coach would bring the
tight ends to the offensive line meeting to learn to block,
and bring him to the receiver meeting to learn how
to catch the ball. I guess. But I mean some
(10:01):
of these guys can coach and they go on and
they had like look at Beamer, you know. I mean
a lot of these guys grow up in coaching and
they get hired because they understand the ins and outs
of it because they grew up in it. Yeah, and
you know, so I mean, but I mean, if you
know Brennan Carroll, I don't know him very well at all,
but you know, I.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Mean, you just I mean, it's all good.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Well, they tried to get to know him and they
had no interest in it. Neither did Steve Belichick. So
I mean, I'm honestly, I'm kind of glad that both
guys are gone. I mean, you know, I get the
look what Steve did for the U defense thing, and
that's fine, But my god, were they miserable. I mean,
neither one wanted to be or now we have at
least two normal people coordinating the defense and the offense. Hey,
(10:43):
why am I looking at your Twitter account and seeing
a picture of a little boy playing with an action figure.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Oh, I went to A.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Friend of mine is a very interesting man, and he's
an heir to a tune of fortune from down in
the harbor in the about one hundred years ago, you know.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
And uh, I think you know Starkiss too. I'm just
gonna say Starkiss.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Yeah, yeah, the dolphins anyway, most of them live out
of the country. And his family, but he's one of
the last great heirs here and he lives behind the
gates in the same neighborhood Pete Carroll and Brennan Carroll
and Nate Carroll used to, which is a the largest
private city in the world and and very beautiful place.
(11:27):
And I get invited there from time to time. They're
they're great friends of ours, and his wife are really
close with us. So they we go to the super
Bowl there for the July stuff like that. And he's
a chef, so he cooks and he enjoys, you know,
a little Oh, he likes to have a drink, you know.
You know, So we go over there and anyway, he's
(11:47):
got a young son, and you know, we're over there
a lot. And I brought him a he Man character.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Aha, and.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
I tried to give it to the kid when I
got there, along with the gigantic football size Johnny Walker
Black that is required to get in the door.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Okay, that's the admission he comes.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
He does everything else, but you gotta buy the football
of Johnny Walker Black.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
I got it and you got anyway, you know.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
I try to give the the he Man action figure
to the little boy, and he really blew me off.
Wow like and by the end of the night, I
was just you know, drunk and desperate, like, come on, Bobby,
you know, like around he doesn't realize how special that
he Man figure in really ran.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
I was like, come on, it's the sun Man from
the Hemant collection. He happened to be a black dude
action figure.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
And I was like, come on, the Sunman wants to
give it to you, Bobby, And uh, you know, my
wife's like, all right, we gotta go.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
That's enough. That's enough. So uh.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
A couple of days later, I was I received a
photo of Bobby with the Sunman and got permission to
to tweet it out. So Bobby, you know, all has
been and I kid, I vindicated.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Do kids still play with action figures?
Speaker 3 (13:05):
And I don't think so I think that's part of it,
that's that those days are done.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Well, yeah, but I still play with action figures.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Who doesn't have yeah, I mean you know, I mean
your your your, your, your bonus room, your main cave
looks like you know, forty year old Virgin for god six,
all the unopened boxes of figurines and lights a little bit,
I mean stuff, there's no.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Lightsabers and there's only one, two, three, four five.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
I do have four lightsabers, by the way, don't be
don't be clown lightsaber fourteen there are there are fourteen
unopened figures.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Visual are they under? That? Play?
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Kind of what I made the forty year old Virgin crack?
It was more of just sarcasm movies.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
I mean, who has a Joe Strummer action figure?
Speaker 3 (13:50):
I don't have one because I do, so everybody sucks
compared to me.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
I remember that I've got the figure.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
You walk around in the cold, and remember I have
a Joe Strummer and a ghost Face killer action figure.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Oh okay, I got you.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Well, you know what, some of that stuff might be
worth some kind of money someday, man, I mean, you
might be able to fund Fletcher's college fund down. Sure,
By the way, if you coach the football team, which
way he's going. We're going to trade school. Brother, He's
going to be a plumber. Come on, great, it's a
great profession.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Nothing wrong with that. You can make a lot of
money being a plumber. Exactly right. What what what.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Do the kids want to do with their lives? I
don't know, no idea. Survive until tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Isn't a time to kind of start to figure that out.
He's twelve, so what? All right? Dude, leave me alone.
I got enough problems. Can I just get through the day?
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Oh god, Hey, did you enjoy the game on Sunday? No?
I was drugs chasing around a child with a freaking
Action figure in my hand.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
I did not enjoy it. Have any analysis to offer us?
Speaker 3 (14:57):
I'm a yes, I'm a football analyst. Let me analyze
the game that everybody's already talked about. When they when
they got after Mahomes with four rushers, the game was over.
Oh god, well block the traas Kelsey looks like an old,
brittle old man. And now everybody's breaking down on Twitter.
They're breaking the film down and be like, hey, Kelsey's
(15:19):
supposed to come over and block this guy, look at
this weak ass effort. You know, it's pretty funny.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
You think he would have proposed to Tatay if they
won the game. Gosh, I don't know. I'm glad you
got booed, though? Why why? Because she sucks? She doesn't
What are you talking about? She sucks? She's part of
why music sucks? Oh wow? Oh expand on that.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
There's great artistry out there, Softy, but you have to
literally get like a jackhammer to find it because of
people like Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Isn't most of her stuff original though? Now right? Original? Original, crappy?
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Like my daughter tried to get me to listen to
whatever it was called, like the Dead Poets, you know,
society her her fake literary chick face, and I was listening.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
I was just like, my god, like, who would listen
to this and say this is okay? I know.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
It is the most contrived pile of dog crap Wiener
dog crap to it looks like little Wiener. That's a
great name for her next album, contrive file of dog
crap that you can name every album.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Oh god, I love it.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
And I had to go to a daddy daughter dance
that's all they play and I'm standing there like a
jackass dancing with my daughter.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
How much you think I dance? Not much? Yeah, just
moving left to right about it?
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Yeah, look off shatya And she bouncing all around. She
walked in and wrote the word sleigh across her forehead

to be like that guy? And there's these dads like
dorking out, you know, doing like headspins and and I

about Lebron. But now it's a twenty five year old
guy who cares if he's fat and drunk. Remember the
NBA in the eighties. Those guys were the best, and
they were all fat and they were all drunk. So
it's an exciting thing. Yeah, absolutely, Why is the one
thing I could tell that the Lebron people really hate
it and all of this is just posturing and like, hey,
(04:49):
this is great. Is the people that love Lebron and
the people that are close to Lebron are really angry
about this. Really, yes, and that makes you happy? Oh,
that desperately happy? Well, I just don't lie. I think
it's a terrible thing. You know, And obviously players have
controlled the league for quite some time. But what Lebron
(05:11):
has done and manipulated and what he's done behind the
scenes clearly if you look from far away and then
you see the same thing happens. The firing of coaches,
the getting rid of the sidekick superstar, the lebron needs
more help, the sub tweeting, all the weird stuff he's
(05:31):
done over the years, and now you know his son
and JJ Reddick, who's actually doing a good job.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
All of those things. Ah man, it's just it's.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
I'm tired of this guy being in control of the
franchise in La Charlotte.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
It'll be over soon. The nightmare will come to an
end soon.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
But I guarantee you this weekend NBA All Star Game,
NBA Finals, if the Lakers aren't playing, he will wind away.
No one cares about the All Star Game, but he'll
say we'll do. Some will care about the All Star Game.
Not it's not the event that it was. I used
to watch, Oh, I used to love you know what, Petros,
I'm going to point now, and I've said this on
(06:09):
the ear NHL All Star Game, Baseball, Pro Bowl, Basketball,
I don't care about any of them.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
No, none, no.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
And that's just part of the way sports has developed.
And we can be two old sports guys on the
Barrett List arguing about and just discussing about how cool
the All Star Game and the dunk contest and the
three point thing was when we were kids, and now
it sucks balls. But you could say that about the
NBA and its whole entirety, right, And you have all
(06:39):
the bitterness in the world, and you're lucky to have
it because of the SuperSonics, and you're you're lucky that
you didn't have to be eyewitness in your own town
to the death of the league. Poor David Stern. I mean,
you got this freaking Nosfaratu looking guy, Adam Silver, six
feet deep in a coffin.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Blah blah. I'm tired of it.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
He does look like the spawn of the old man
from Poltergeist. He remember that.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Yeah, the player Empowerment Area era.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Blows less power for players, more power for rich white dudes. Yes,
that's what you want, especially if they're white.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Speaking of speaking of rich white guys.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Speaking of rich white guys, did you see where Pete
Carroll hired not one but two of his sons, Brennan
and Nate.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Are both joining Pete in Vegas? How about that?
Speaker 3 (07:35):
I love the white nepotism, you know, I think of
it like, you know, in my my in my dad's restaurant.
You know, I went, I went straight to waiter, you know,
because you're a white guy, right, white My dad owned
the place, white guy, another white guy. You should have
just called the damn place white guys and been.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Done with it, whitey Fordes. But he hired both with
his kids.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
And you see who else hired another Belichick is Bill's
bringing two of them to Carolina.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Not to bring it back to the Lakers. But I remember,
I remember when you just whined about everything being about
Lebron and the Lakers.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Yeah, no, no, I remember when Phil Jackson was the
head coach and he was old. He's still old, and
he was all old and hunched and miserable, and he
was dating Genie, and anybody that talked to Genie he'd
give you a glare from like half court, looking all mean,
really and oh yeah, but he was He would say anything.
(08:32):
He'd call people out in the media, he'd call out
his players like he reached the point because he was
so old that he just didn't care, right, And maybe
you could say the same for Lebron. Yeah, put my
kid on the team. Sure, he's going to dribble the
ball off his leg like Alie and Hoosier's but whatever,
you know.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
So, uh, it's it's kind of a pattern.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
I guess when people get old and they have a
whole bunch of power, Yeah, they bring their kids along. Well,
Pete's been hiring his son since ninety eight. Yeah, and
then the other son, you know who was playing high
school football up here at my alma mater when Pete
was the head coach at USC. So it's not a surprise.
And at this point, I mean, it's pro football, and
(09:14):
it's not like you have your kid in a helmet
out there long snapping. He's just out there wearing a
polo saying things and chewing gum like Pete who cares.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Well Brian Belichick.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
I mean, he was coaching safeties for the last five
years in New England, So I mean, I'm sure he
got the job on just all merit, no nepotism whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
You know, I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
I mean I remember right when I was first at USC,
John Robinson, god rest his soul had his son as
the tight end, as the tight end coach, which is
sort of where you hide a coach, you know, back
in the day, the tight end coach would bring the
tight ends to the offensive line meeting to learn to block,
and bring him to the receiver meeting to learn how
to catch the ball. I guess. But I mean some
(10:01):
of these guys can coach and they go on and
they had like look at Beamer, you know. I mean
a lot of these guys grow up in coaching and
they get hired because they understand the ins and outs
of it because they grew up in it. Yeah, and
you know, so I mean, but I mean, if you
know Brennan Carroll, I don't know him very well at all,
but you know, I.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Mean, you just I mean, it's all good.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Well, they tried to get to know him and they
had no interest in it. Neither did Steve Belichick. So
I mean, I'm honestly, I'm kind of glad that both
guys are gone. I mean, you know, I get the
look what Steve did for the U defense thing, and
that's fine, But my god, were they miserable. I mean,
neither one wanted to be or now we have at
least two normal people coordinating the defense and the offense. Hey,
(10:43):
why am I looking at your Twitter account and seeing
a picture of a little boy playing with an action figure.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Oh, I went to A.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Friend of mine is a very interesting man, and he's
an heir to a tune of fortune from down in
the harbor in the about one hundred years ago, you know.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
And uh, I think you know Starkiss too. I'm just
gonna say Starkiss.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Yeah, yeah, the dolphins anyway, most of them live out
of the country. And his family, but he's one of
the last great heirs here and he lives behind the
gates in the same neighborhood Pete Carroll and Brennan Carroll
and Nate Carroll used to, which is a the largest
private city in the world and and very beautiful place.
(11:27):
And I get invited there from time to time. They're
they're great friends of ours, and his wife are really
close with us. So they we go to the super
Bowl there for the July stuff like that. And he's
a chef, so he cooks and he enjoys, you know,
a little Oh, he likes to have a drink, you know.
You know, So we go over there and anyway, he's
(11:47):
got a young son, and you know, we're over there
a lot. And I brought him a he Man character.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Aha, and.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
I tried to give it to the kid when I
got there, along with the gigantic football size Johnny Walker
Black that is required to get in the door.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Okay, that's the admission he comes.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
He does everything else, but you gotta buy the football
of Johnny Walker Black.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
I got it and you got anyway, you know.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
I try to give the the he Man action figure
to the little boy, and he really blew me off.
Wow like and by the end of the night, I
was just you know, drunk and desperate, like, come on, Bobby,
you know, like around he doesn't realize how special that
he Man figure in really ran.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
I was like, come on, it's the sun Man from
the Hemant collection. He happened to be a black dude
action figure.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
And I was like, come on, the Sunman wants to
give it to you, Bobby, And uh, you know, my
wife's like, all right, we gotta go.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
That's enough. That's enough. So uh.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
A couple of days later, I was I received a
photo of Bobby with the Sunman and got permission to
to tweet it out. So Bobby, you know, all has
been and I kid, I vindicated.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Do kids still play with action figures?
Speaker 3 (13:05):
And I don't think so I think that's part of it,
that's that those days are done.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Well, yeah, but I still play with action figures.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Who doesn't have yeah, I mean you know, I mean
your your your, your, your bonus room, your main cave
looks like you know, forty year old Virgin for god six,
all the unopened boxes of figurines and lights a little bit,
I mean stuff, there's no.

Lightsabers and there's only one, two, three, four five.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
I do have four lightsabers, by the way, don't be
don't be clown lightsaber fourteen there are there are fourteen
unopened figures.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Visual are they under? That? Play?
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Kind of what I made the forty year old Virgin crack?
It was more of just sarcasm movies.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
I mean, who has a Joe Strummer action figure?
Speaker 3 (13:50):
I don't have one because I do, so everybody sucks
compared to me.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
I remember that I've got the figure.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
You walk around in the cold, and remember I have
a Joe Strummer and a ghost Face killer action figure.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Oh okay, I got you.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Well, you know what, some of that stuff might be
worth some kind of money someday, man, I mean, you
might be able to fund Fletcher's college fund down. Sure,
By the way, if you coach the football team, which
way he's going. We're going to trade school. Brother, He's
going to be a plumber. Come on, great, it's a
great profession.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Nothing wrong with that. You can make a lot of
money being a plumber. Exactly right. What what what.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Do the kids want to do with their lives? I
don't know, no idea. Survive until tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Isn't a time to kind of start to figure that out.
He's twelve, so what? All right? Dude, leave me alone.
I got enough problems. Can I just get through the day?
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Oh god, Hey, did you enjoy the game on Sunday? No?
I was drugs chasing around a child with a freaking
Action figure in my hand.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
I did not enjoy it. Have any analysis to offer us?
Speaker 3 (14:57):
I'm a yes, I'm a football analyst. Let me analyze
the game that everybody's already talked about. When they when
they got after Mahomes with four rushers, the game was over.
Oh god, well block the traas Kelsey looks like an old,
brittle old man. And now everybody's breaking down on Twitter.
They're breaking the film down and be like, hey, Kelsey's
(15:19):
supposed to come over and block this guy, look at
this weak ass effort. You know, it's pretty funny.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
You think he would have proposed to Tatay if they
won the game. Gosh, I don't know. I'm glad you
got booed, though? Why why? Because she sucks? She doesn't
What are you talking about? She sucks? She's part of
why music sucks? Oh wow? Oh expand on that.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
There's great artistry out there, Softy, but you have to
literally get like a jackhammer to find it because of
people like Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Isn't most of her stuff original though? Now right? Original? Original, crappy?
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Like my daughter tried to get me to listen to
whatever it was called, like the Dead Poets, you know,
society her her fake literary chick face, and I was listening.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
I was just like, my god, like, who would listen
to this and say this is okay? I know.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
It is the most contrived pile of dog crap Wiener
dog crap to it looks like little Wiener. That's a
great name for her next album, contrive file of dog
crap that you can name every album.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Oh god, I love it.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
And I had to go to a daddy daughter dance

jackass dancing with my daughter.
