Tuesday morning. It's March the eleventh, twenty twenty five. You guys,
it's Greg Gory's birthday. You know we haven't covered one
of the cakes, Sea and the Sea Bass.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Well, we have a couple of lovely cakes. One is
a flowery cake for Greg, you know, for core purposes.
The other one is a Bubba cake, which I don't
even know if Greg likes Boba or not, but it's
just cute because that's a smiley face. So it's so
care Yeah, it has a good demeanor.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Like Greg, have you had Boba? I have not the
biggest fan of it. I don't only you know, it's
just I don't get the.
Speaker 1 (00:44):

Speaker 4 (00:48):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Then? And also we have like these like Oreo like
cake stirs, but they're not like the ones in the
in the package.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Know they are.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Those are those loft House cookies that they always.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Gud awesome.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
What is a cookie expert?
Speaker 5 (01:06):
They look like open face whoopie pies, a cookiees.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
You know.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Those they're like those very light airy you know, cookies
that have like a big thick layer of the frosting
on them. They come in that plastic clamshell packaging and branded. Yeah,
but this is official Oreo Brad. These look fantastic. These
are Yeah, I thought I'd go with that instead of
the third king.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
And when they're lighting area, they have no calories.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
That's exactly right through the hole it says they are cookies.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
What do you can eat the whole sleeve?
Speaker 6 (01:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Noise, you don't give it the whole pack? Well, thank you,
minut Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
We had an email here email at the woodieshow dot
com from Alex who writes in Greg is turning sixty.
I thought he was born in nineteen seventy one. Wasn't
it set on the show one time? He was born
in nineteen seventy one? People very confused. Today's got Greg's
big six zero, which we've just been trolling Greg with.
It's not really Greg's sixtieth birthday. Greg might as well
be legally, but basically he feels sixty.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
I did text Greg this last night. I was telling
and this is that can't be true.
Speaker 7 (02:05):
I texted the second had happened my nine year old
stepson Greg. Oh, I love Greg, and he goes, how
old is he turning? And I told him and he goes,
I thought Greg was thirty. And then my husband goes, yeah,
actually I kind of did too a be.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Did you are you going to take him to the autometrist?
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Yeah, we're going to.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
Go to Lens Scraptors right after.
Speaker 8 (02:26):
Ye.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Well, happy birthday, Greg, thank you very much. We have
your why wait until they're dead? Eulogies that I'm excited for. Yeah,
so we're going to say nice things about Greg while
he's still with us, because we always hear that like
when people die, you know, all of a sudden, everyone's
got nice things to say, Well, why wait until they're dead?
So we just decided to start this little tradition on
people's birthdays around here. So that's coming up this hour
(02:47):
and for Greg's birthday. Sea Bass has an update on
his on his trash situation, which Greg from your perspective,
how's it going?
Speaker 3 (02:55):
I do have a relatively shocking update for you guys.
Speaker 9 (02:58):
Well, maybe you need to play this audio, okay U
this yay okay, Because for those of you who haven't
heard the story yet, Gregg's neighbors leave their trash bins out.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Yes, we have all the time garbage day, as does
every civilized city planet Earth. As this is not a
dump in Mumbai exactly. It's called garbage day. It's not
called garbage year. And I have two main offender neighbors
who left their garbage cans out. I issue not seven
days a week for over a year. One of the
(03:29):
houses just redid their whole front yard and it looks beautiful.
They did a great job with it. They're the ones
that had I believe five, maybe even six garbage cans,
and they recently added what I call an indoor garbage
can to the mix. So there's this indoor garbage can
sitting with all the actual bins that you roll out
to the street.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
One that doesn't have wheels or anything.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Right, it's something you would put in your kitchen and
that just sits on the curb permanently. It's a sculpture.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
I guess, are you allowed to have that many trash cans?
Speaker 1 (03:55):
You can't?
Speaker 5 (03:56):
Why are that man?
Speaker 3 (03:57):
They're supposed to be official. Yeah, they had two to
recycling to regular trash.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
You request them from the trash company and they'll bring you,
like if you need an extra yard waste or an
extra you know, uh you know, and one for like
the landfillst they'll bring that out to you.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Yeah. A lot of people are saying like, oh, let
them do their thing, it's not your problem. These are
in the street, they're not on the curb. They're all
willy nilly or as Gina would say, cattywampus. And it
drives Greg crazy there and it's incredibly unsightly. Not the
only offenders. Nothing's happened with it. Uh.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Sea Bass was enlisted to help because he's a professional
pest and so he made these postcards right which I
sent to these people saying hey U slobs, or the
picture of their own house with the picture of the
Garter's caves that did nothing.
Speaker 10 (04:42):
That was like a month or so ago. Yeahah so,
and people raise the question, Greg, did you not even
call the city?
Speaker 1 (04:47):
And Greg's like, what, how do you even find that number?
Speaker 4 (04:50):
No?
Speaker 3 (04:50):
You know, and I told you I went to the
website and I did many testrons on this website where
I did right in there, you know where I even said,
I said, here's the here's the addresses of these garbage cans.
Waited nothing happened, And then I would write back and said, hey,
I left you guys a message my last time. All
I want to know is is anybody reading this? Here's
my phone number, here's my email address. Let me know
(05:12):
if anybody's reading this.
Speaker 10 (05:13):
And so that I think, which I don't blame. That's
that's how government works.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
It sucks.
Speaker 10 (05:17):
So I finally tracked out it. Did it take me
a little while, Greg, I do it? Defined a phone
number of the city.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Okay, I tried that too.
Speaker 10 (05:24):
I'm going to be a pest myself. But let's go
through the normal processes as well. And I've got someone
on the line. And here's how that went on the
path of Greg Gory.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
Good morning and thank you for calling infananitation. How can
we healthy today? Hi?
Speaker 4 (05:41):

radio show?

How can I help you today? Follow travel with Greg
Gory today.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
Hi.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
I'm Greg Gory, and I was curious. Whom do I
speak with about neighbors who leave their trash cans out
twenty four seven three sixty five?
Speaker 6 (06:43):
That would be us? Are you Greg Gory from the
radio show.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
We've heard about you.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
We've been expecting your calls Jesus, so I say, why, Yes,
I am, of course, And here's the situation.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
Are you Greg Gory from the radio show?
Speaker 4 (06:58):
That is accurate?
Speaker 6 (06:59):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Hello, good to talk to you.
Speaker 6 (07:01):
Hi, My name's nice to meet you, Greg. Do you
know what the address would possibly be? Have to see
if you're in our area?
Speaker 3 (07:09):
I do?
Speaker 6 (07:12):
They are, okay, girl. I used to listen to you
guys all the time for the past couple of years,
and now that I don't drive anymore, only get to
hear on weekends.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Get that podcast, blood, Yeah, I get that podcast.
Speaker 10 (07:30):
We get that text all the time. I don't get
to hear you guys anymore.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
You do get to hear us any day you want?
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Yeah, central.
Speaker 10 (07:39):
All right, So he found it on a system, and
he's now he's gonna tell me what this what there?
Speaker 1 (07:43):
What stegure is from the Senate Patient Department.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
Have a Thursday trash collection.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
That's accurate.
Speaker 6 (07:49):
An if they go and visit on a Friday and
the trash cans are still out, they are supposed to
leave some type of note or warning to the residents
to say, go ahead and put your trash cans in.
And eventually they used to face fines or or worse arrest.
Perhaps no, nobody's mean, but basically.
Speaker 5 (08:09):
Oh dang, imprisonment, execution.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
I guess even.
Speaker 10 (08:24):
I didn't like the sound of that because you said
they used to yeah, which is what we always talk about.
You can plan playing to play and people.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Well, no, we can't do anything right.
Speaker 10 (08:35):
Don't want to be mean, all right, So that's good.
We're in the system allegedly, so we're gonna see how.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
This all wraps up.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
They're not designed to hurt anybody. It's just remind them
to put the trash counts away.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Certainly, no, I appreciate that. Well, the only thing it's
hurting right now is my eyes every time I drive by.
I know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Oh, probably accurate. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Probably, Well, I appreciate your professionalism. Hopefully this matter will
be resolved post taste. Everybody, Thanks again, you were a doll.
Speaker 6 (09:11):
Have a good day.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Is this that's really you? Until he gets to this
podcast and in six months that it was actually towards
the end he was given like one word answers like okay.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
Yeah, I'm starting to get the feeling he thought this
might not be Gregory.
Speaker 10 (09:29):
Yeah, you're you work for the citation. The call said,
this is the the biggest thing that ever happens to
you in your life.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
Get a little energy underneath that radio star.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Oh my god, drenched in sweat.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
So now, greg So I made that call a little
while ago.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Yes, approximately how many days in there? Is it?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Like a week and a half?
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Okay, maybe I have an amazing update. All but one
can has been cleared.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Are you serious serious?
Speaker 3 (10:04):
I rounded the corner yesterday. No trash cans on the
house that's on the corner. The biggest defender is the
second house in where they had the all six trash
cans in the street, all but one are gone. Would
you like to know which one remains to be there?
And that's still in the street, but it's small, it's rectangular,
(10:27):
it's not in the way. The rest of them have
been wheeled up the driveway and placed out of sight
see basquets results.
Speaker 10 (10:38):
But I want to hand it to this this worker
who I believe fan, so he probably put it through the.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Yeah, code enforcement.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
I do have a question, though, have you been indicated
as the can not Nazi?
Speaker 3 (10:53):
In your eye? I think I've remained under the rainar.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Unless nobody knows what you do for a living, this
guy knew. Are you from the rashow? What a great update.
Speaker 6 (11:08):
That was awesome.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Yeah, we needs the news when you have sea bass exactly. Yeah,
you don't need the news reporters going down. There's sea
bass to cities.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
At bottom of and like you've pointed out, cities are
good at making websites, but they're not good at doing
anything about them.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Well, we're gonna take a quick break, we're gonna come back,
and then we're gonna eulogize Greg. Why wait until people
are gone forever to say the things that you really
want to say to them. We've turned it into to
a tradition here on the radio show that on the
birthday we eulogize that person. And today is Greg's birthday, yay,
and so nice things to be said about you.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Greg. I'm I'm raising for it.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
I'm pretty sure it's all nice things. The Woody Shore
pretty pretty.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
Up.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
All right. Well, it's Greg Bry's birthday, as we've covered,
and we have our little thing that we do on
whoever's birthday, it is that we eulogize them. Right, they're
not dead, but what we say the nice things that
people usually wait until someone's dead the same, Yeah, and
weed like that was a silly, silly practice. Why do
people always wait till someone dies all of a sudden,
(12:14):
it's all this outpouring.
Speaker 10 (12:16):
I wish they'd heard that, to hear that of niceness
of this segment, though this is a eulogy, therefore he's dead.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. So we all have quick eulogies
for for Greg to share, and we'll go around the
room with those. First of all, great happy birthday, and
uh you know I've been I've been happy to call
you a friend for many many years now, and uh
you know he's become kind of like a brother from
another mother. And so love Greg very much, and uh,
(12:45):
just happy birthday, no card. Could you not hate that?
Speaker 6 (12:47):
You do?
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (12:48):
But I do have. I do have a eulogy for you,
ladies and gentlemen. We gather here today to mourn, to celebrate,
most importantly, to be beyond devastated, just as Greg would
have wanted. He always said he wanted full on weeping,
whaling and dramatic gasps at his funeral, crying and nashing.
So if you could all start sobbing on Q, that
(13:09):
would be great. But let's be real, Greg probably isn't
here right now. No, his spirit is likely trapped in
some purgatory filled with butterflies. Greg was a man of
many complexities. He was thrifty, but spent his life more
upside down than a cave full of bats. When it
came to the cars. He adored pit bulls, despite knowing
(13:32):
they were bloodthirsty throat rippers, but a butterfly absolutely not.
He feared them as if they held tiny knives. Ugh.
He was a lover of gossip, a hater of yucki vaginas,
and a man who would rather starve to death than
eat alone into restaurant. He was a connoisseur of fine
things like bottles of wine, fifteen dollars or less, peanut
butter m and ms, and Costco cinnamon rolls. He was
(13:55):
embarrassed to buy a toilet paper, but had no issue
discussing his love of fresh air fillatio. He was also
the most emotional man I've ever met. He could cry
it a well placed commercial or his ultimate weakness, Eric Carmon's,
all by myself. And yet despite his deep sensitivity, he
was a magnet for the loudest, most insufferable, obnoxious people
(14:17):
on earth. These human air horns would latch onto him
like flies on a turd. Greg was hilarious, kind, had
a laugh that could make even the dumbest joke ten
times funnier, especially if it involved farts. We all loved
him so much, and we will pre miss him even
now and when the time truly comes. Rest assured, Greg,
(14:37):
we will honor all of your final wishes. We will
all absolutely be inconsolable, wailing like banshee choirs while your
body lies covered in magic shell. Well that's where we
are right now. Until then, we'll raise a glass of
cheap wine in the Simon roll in silence and promise
to never let you eat alone. We love you, Thank
you very nice.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
I'm not allowed to say anything.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
I like the Happy birthday, Gregory, menus your next.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Dear Greg Gory, this is the second time that you
have died on me. You were mad, old, yet so
thin and studying to the eye. I know you're happy
now because you're even more skinny than before. Thank you
for leaving me your beach house. Beach house which I'll
give thirty percent of that. Yeah, thank you for leaving
(15:29):
me your beach house, which I'll give you thirty percent
of the air and BnB. I'll give thirty percent of
the Airbnb profits we go to pit bull victims, I
mean rescues survivors, because I know that's something that you
would have wasted your money on. Even though I didn't
(15:50):
see you dying by wine butt chugging, I know you
died doing something that you loved, consuming excess alcohol and
laughing until you can anymore. Even though Mario has already
moved on to a new boo, I will not like
his photos on Instagram, even though his new man is
(16:12):
way younger, hotter, thinner, and tanner. I won't do it
because I love.
Speaker 10 (16:16):
You and Richard.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Greg.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Thank you for all the good time together and May
you eat all the eminems you want in heaven.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Once again, I love you.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Sorry, it's hard to get through these things.
Speaker 10 (16:32):
Yeah, you think you're ready for this sort of thing,
and then the day comes and he's dead.
Speaker 6 (16:36):
He never fully.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Premared that's how he went. Yeah, wine, but Chaine. I
thought he choked on a Wiener. No, no, allright, g Yeah.
Speaker 7 (16:48):
The first time I ever met Greg, I instantly knew
I liked him. He was so sweet and professional. But
I'm grateful that he finally dropped that facade. The Greg
I got to know was an equal opportunit, the offender,
saying hain things about everyone and everything in a way
that would make me scream cackle that I couldn't control.
His golden voice made hearing about overturned semis and carbacues
(17:11):
pleasant every morning, and I loved watching him enter the
studio each day, double fisting both his work coffees. Though
he was gay, Greg always gave it to you straight,
whether it was telling me to push my chair in
by announcing, oh no, Gina, let me get that for you,
or justifying his cleaning OCD by replying.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Sorry for being normal.
Speaker 7 (17:33):
His dry sense of humor and behind the scenes song
parodies will be deeply missed. So in honor of Greg, everyone,
if I could please ask you to meticulously straighten the
papers on your desk so they're perpendicular to the edge.
Speaker 5 (17:45):
Of your desk right here.
Speaker 7 (17:47):
Judge up your frozen dinner with scallions and fresh herbs.
And for the love of God, don't let anyone ever
sit on your living room couch. Yep, all right, pee buddy,
we love you, I'll miss you.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Oh yes. And by the way, we have taken all
the food that's here at the reception afterwards, all bought
a Trader Joe's, but we've used up to make it.
Quote as Greg would say, restaurante, Right, all right.
Speaker 8 (18:12):
Sammy Craig Gory was a man whose presence brightened every
room he walked into, whose humor was as sharp as
his sense of style, and whose heart was as big
as the beach that he loved so much.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
He was a man of simple pleasures, with a.
Speaker 8 (18:26):
Big personality and a deep, unwavering love for warm sunny days,
a glass of wine, and his beloved dog, Calli. He
was happiest one savoring a Costco cinnamon roller, sitting in
front of the TV, watching his beloved balin out loud,
flipping through HGTV for a home makeover, or enjoying his
favorite movie Jexy. But let's be clear, he wasn't a
(18:48):
fan of all TV moments. He hated when a TV
app asked are you still watching?
Speaker 5 (18:54):
He was always still watching.
Speaker 8 (18:57):
He was an upstanding human. You always took a stance
against the menaces of our society, like people with nose rings,
neighbors who leave their trash cans out, and people who
sit on couches.
Speaker 5 (19:09):
And that's just part of what made him him. He
also showed incredible strength.
Speaker 8 (19:14):
He worked hard, especially when it came to his health,
and his journey to lose weight was a testament to
his dedication. He showed us all that it's never too
late to make a change, to grow, and to pursue
the things that truly matter. And like menace already mentioned,
now he's even skinnier.
Speaker 5 (19:29):
Ye the best part, So happy for you.
Speaker 8 (19:31):
Skinny phones, Greg rest easy, that's nice.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Now, we did buy just a standard science casket, but
we had them half it, Yeah, just so he would
look even skinnier.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
Yeah, everybody knows belief he could fit in that.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Look at that it's a real Louis. Yeah right, Sea
Mass your eulogy for Greg. Happy birthday, Greg Gory, Greg
dead now and forever.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
But he was a man.
Speaker 10 (19:59):
He was a man of contradictions. He was some would say,
in an abusive relationship with Sea Bass. Yes, he abused
Sea Bass daily by not giving him the love the
Sea best so cherished. Oh, you would say it was
such a dick. He would not invite him to his
parties at his house and not go to Seabass's parties
at his house, Seabass's soirees. Even he loved the finer
(20:21):
things in life, like movies like Brawl and Cell Block
ninety nine with Vince Vaughn, but still loved what are
objectively god awful movies like Ricky Stanicki and the aforementioned
Jaxy Look him up because you've never.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Heard of them.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
People.
Speaker 10 (20:39):
When Greg's brother recently died and Sea Bass didn't go
to that funeral, people said, oh, Sea Bess, you're being
a dick.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
How dare you not.
Speaker 10 (20:45):
Support your coworker and friend and his time. Indeed, and
to which Seabas said, no, no, no, I know it
Greg wants, and therefore I'm not going because it would
just weird him out and make him wonder why I
was there and what happened when he got back.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
He said exactly that.
Speaker 10 (20:57):
SeaBASS even made a plaque for Greg put it on
his favorite beach, Ruleport I mean Newport Beach, he said,
Rip Greg Gory. He would have always wanted his name
on a bench, and that's what he has now that
he is dead, Greg Gory, he has his name on
a bench in his most favorite place in the world, well,
his second most favorite, to the chest of his loving
partner Mario, who also I think Sea Best vicariously.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
For no good reasonings, he will be missed.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Oh bab well, happy birthday, Greg, think your birthday.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
I'm back from the tail. Oh my god, I see
you got guys. That was seriously I'm laughing so hard
and I'm sweating so much from laughing, but I'm on
the brink of tears. That was the best several minutes
of my life. I loved everything you said, so heartfelt,
so accurate, so wonderful, and I'm so lucky. Can I
have one more thing?
Speaker 1 (21:51):
And Greg would want you to know this.
Speaker 10 (21:52):
This segment was Sea Best, as I do, and it
has to be about thank you.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
For the black and Greg, even though you're dead, thanks
for visiting us, Cary. I'm going to haunt you forever, clearly,
and I'm gonna click and you're right, Sammy. Greg is
still watching because he believes the ghosts, and he's still here.
He'll be watching self, Rice, I'll be watching you, Joe,
and now I have to believe your ghosts.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
I see you all naked. That's right.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
He'll be seeing us when we buy toilet paper and
when we eat a lot of restaurants.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Yep, I'm so touched. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
All right, Well, happy birthday, Greg, Happy sixtieth. It's amazing,
glad far Yeah, all right, more what the show is
coming up next?
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Hang out O, the Woody.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Show, The Chains in a Secon, what delt Woody Show,
The Morning?
Speaker 3 (22:42):
That's what?
Speaker 1 (22:42):
How much love the This Day in History stuff?
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Yeah, it's my favorite.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
It was five years ago today, March eleventh, twenty twenty,
that the World Health Organization declared COVID nineteen that's pandemic.
And then we had to stay in for two weeks,
two weeks like hers. And some people are still wearing
masks in the car even though they're in they're alone.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
I just see it.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
I just saw that the other day. I'm like, what
are you doing?
Speaker 6 (23:05):
Man?
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Anyway, that's where I all learned those terms. Yes, social
distancing and PPE and flatten the curve, shelter in place
and six year and ninety five and essential workers. So
happy birthday COVID nineteen. You know, washing mail destroying kids,
development and education, ruining businesses. What a what an overreaction it.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Was, but a boom to the plexiglass industry.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Yeah, the magic plexiglass because they had at the grocery
stores that would.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
Only be right in front of you, huh.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
But if you up, down or around, fine, Yeah, that
was going to be effective. But it couldn't be at
a restaurant, even if you were across the room from somebody,
because it would travel in open space, but not around
the open space of those plexiglass dividers right at the
grocery store.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
How silly. My favorite memory was of plexiglass. Was doing
my taxes and I had to slide all the paperwork
through this plexiglass square, and then he picked it up
and then walked around the desk, and then we went
to a desk and sat down together. But I had
to slide them through the glass, so he picked them up.
It's all stupid, but I mean, we had no idea
what was going on, really didn't.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
The free agency madness has officially begun, even though teams
can't officially announce any of their new signings until tomorrow.
The new league year begins tomorrow like four pm Eastern.
The big signings move. It's hard to keep quiet. And
some of the bigger deals that we heard about yesterday.
Sam Darnold, who has been the Vikings quarterback, he's going
to the Seahawks for a three year deal worth one
(24:31):
hundred point five million dollars. Steelers quarterback Justin Fields, he's
going to the New York Jets two years, forty million dollars.
Darius Slay, who just won a Super Bowl with the
Eagles and then they released him. He's been with them
for a while, but he's signing with the Steelers Slay.
And meanwhile running back Najie Harris is going to the
(24:51):
LA Chargers. And then there's some other like a Goodwin
from the Bucks. He just resigned, but he's been with them,
I think his whole career. But you know, some moving
moving around the league. It's gonna be insane once. Officially,
this is what they call the legal tampering period. Yeah, yeah,
like baseball has hot stove, hot stove. Yeah, this is
(25:12):
off see right now, these couple of days, these are
the legal tampering period where like you know, players and
stuff can have conversations with heads of teams because they.
Speaker 5 (25:21):
Haven't been doing that already.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Yeah, what's that.
Speaker 5 (25:23):
I'm sure they haven't been doing that already off the record.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Well yeah, but I mean this is where you can
this is legal tampering. And then tomorrow, tomorrow four pm,
they'll I'm sure there'll just be a ton of announcements.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
I wonder how many agents there are these days, because
these agents are making.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Out like oh my god, yeah, agents in general.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Sure, you know, like a good time to be one.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Eventually. We used to have one, right, I used to
and I use them for a lot of stuff, and
I just got to the point where I'm like, you know,
I don't care anymore. They fired me today, done, what's
gonna happen? Yeah yeah, And so like you know, and
I've never used them to get me a job. It's
had them negotiate the terms of a contract. You're right,
So once every few years yeah, get the what you're
paying for. Yeah, so I had, you know, I was
(26:08):
thinking about it. I'm like, wait, so they work for
let's call it three weeks. A negotiation would typically take
about three weeks for a contract renewal or whatever. And
they go back and forth. And it wasn't like they
were spending all day on it, right, No, it was
like generous. They pop an email out there and then
they wait for the other you know, people on the
other end to write back, and then they call me
(26:28):
and go, hey, here's what the here's where we're at.
What do you think about this?
Speaker 3 (26:32):
This is what I recommend?
Speaker 1 (26:33):
But all right, well you know, hey, you know obviously
whatever you think and forth, back and forth, just let
me know this is the part of the stuff I'd
never wanted to deal with. Then three weeks comes and goes,
and if you're the next five years, yeah, this is
like a five year extension. Every month, I'm writing some
insane check.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Yeah every month.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Yeah, you're locked for you know, ten percent of what
you earn.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
Gross, not fun.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Yeah, and then you send that off and you're like,
wait a minute, so for three weeks you get paid
for five years.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (27:03):
Sweet, it's crazy.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Right, pretty good, not right? Yeah, and then I ended that,
and then imagine that in the NFL world.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
