Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, here we go.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Happy Monday if you can even can you? Can you
say happy in Monday and the same A lot of
people can't really say it in the same sentence, but
I guess I just did.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
So how are you, my friend? I haven't seen you
in a week. I many.

Speaker 3 (00:19):
No other way to say, And how you doing? Man?

Speaker 1 (00:24):
Man? Is that?

Speaker 3 (00:26):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (00:27):
Is that climax?

Speaker 3 (00:28):
That? Hopefully that is the climax, because if it got
any worse from there, we wouldn't.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
Want to hear it. Which they had a song called
I Miss You. It was from THEOD yesterday.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
Yeah, I remember that. Oh my gosh, man, holy cow.
Well I missed you too, man, I'm serious. I was
like last week, I was like, I don't feel lost.

Speaker 3 (00:50):
It's weird.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
It was me.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
Good for me sleeping until six thirty this morning.

Speaker 4 (00:54):
That was awesome. That was awesome right there. I was
gonna say. I'm like, oh, I thought you're talking about
sleeping in. I'm like, last week, they're so sleeping in.
I saw some of your videos posted it. I don't
know what five am or four thirty. Well, there was
one where you're like every time you were stopped by
a train.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
I was like, man, he's early in the morning too.
I couldn't believe that that gets a little anxiety.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
I am so sick of graping about trains and bad drivers.
But and the bad driver to let me just say,
if you're scared of rain, don't drive in the rain.
If you're scared of the freeway, don't get on the freeway.
And if you're scared to go over twenty five, get
out of the way of the people that aren't. You
are really frustrating me. I mean, McKinley Avenue used to

(01:36):
be fifty outside of the radio station here, it's forty five.
Now they've dropped it. I'm still going twenty behind this guy.
I don't know why, Why are you even out driving
If you're going twenty miles an hour in a forty
five mile an hour zone, get off the road. So
it was early, it was just now coming in just.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
Now, never mind, I thought you're talking about last week.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
No, last week is just they drive asked, but recklessly
that early in the morning.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
Yeah, because I was gonna say, at twenty miles an hour,
and again, I was thinking five am or four thirty
when you're coming in here, that's somebody who is inebriat.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
Typically, yes, I had somebody roll in like they must
have had a stick a standard. And I was sitting
at a red light at one sixty one and thirty
three over in the Dublin area. And this was before
the roundabout. There was a you know, red light there
and I was behind this person that and I was
northbound on thirty three and it was a girl who

(02:34):
she must have I think she was drinking and she
fell I think she fell asleep. The light turned green,
and dude, she drifted and actually hit me like she
because she was in neutral and her car drifted back.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
Was like and like hit me.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
And I was like, uh, you know, I'm like hitting,
like hitting the horn, trying to get her to stock
because I and then as I realized, oh my gosh,
this is gonna happen, dunk, you know, it's like and
then she woke up, put it and drive and started
going off.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
Yeah, just started to go you don't get to do that.
I uh, I didn't.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
I did not call and do anything with her plate
or whatever, which I don't know why. I had a
momentary lapse of reason, I suppose, but I just thought, man,
this but I was following her all the way, like northbound,
and then she ended up turning off like on Hard
I think going up towards Sawmill, and she ended up
going east on Hard Road there as we're going, and

(03:33):
I was like wow, but I suppose I probably at
that point maybe I should have called because I could
have saved somebody's life if she was gonna crash.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
Into the safety of other people. That's yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
I've heard of people fall asleep in a drive through,
like for food, like after the bars.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
You hear about something.

Speaker 3 (03:53):
I've slept in cars many times back when I was
young and I was well, you know, I was you know,
spinning records and strike zone. I was working at the
dispatch was I never slept. So I would get in
my car and you know, turn on the engine and
I just pass out in the parking lot. I did
that a lot when I was young, but not on
the road. Yeah, you're waiting read light.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
You're at a parking lot of your gig, right, whatever
job you were going to.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
Yeah, so you were just getting some winks there.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
And then after I'd been done there because I get
the bar would close it too. But I had to
be at the dispatch job at three point thirty, So I.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
Just go there.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
I just sat in the parking lot and yeah, just
caught a few winks while I could. And yeah, that
was part of being young and not having time for
things like bed.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
Well, and it's probably smarter if you get comfy into
a bed. Let's face it, you're middle of the night, right, yeah,
an hour and a half, that's no way, man, you're
deep in the rim sleep, rapid eye movement baby.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
So yeah, the Reds win the series in New York,
a three game series, which by the way, I totally.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
Did not have, and they almost won yesterday.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
I don't know how much you and following them since
you've been off, but well, this past week that they
were on the break, they all start break, so they
didn't start again until Friday night.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
So they literally were off all last.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
Week and then that's it. They started up Friday night,
and boy did they hit the ground running.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
Here we go again.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
They picked up where they left off a very good
fifty six and forty four New York Mets team, and
they ended up winning the two of the three games,
and they end up winning the series. So they started
a three game set tonight versus the Nationals in Washington,
so they're in our nation's capital, and the Nationals are
thirty nine to sixty so they're not even The Nationals

(05:40):
are not very good this year right now, so we've
talked about this a million times. That means that the
Reds will probably struggle and lose the series versus a team.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
They should be beating.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
Who's the Nationals triple A? I have no idea, because
the Clippers used to be a national triple A. Didn't they.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
Well, no, I think they were. They were the Indians
at one point.

Speaker 3 (06:02):
Whether they're the Indians now, are they?

Speaker 1 (06:05):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (06:05):
I think they were.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
They were the Yankees at one point two. I think, yeah, see,
I'm getting they were Yankees. Rochester Red Wings' exactly, thank you,
the Washington Nationals triple he's.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
So handy, is he really? He's handy, He's quick.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
He's like our own little bearded Google.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
You can't be attractive, at least be handy.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
Just for the record, I didn't say that.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
No, I said that. I also didn't say I'm tired
of this and leaving just write that down.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
Will Also, I got to say Scotty Scheffler, who wins
handily at the Open or you know, as US Americans
call it the British Open to either way, but it's
technically the Open.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
Whatever.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
But Scotty wins by four shots and at one point
had a six shot lead, seven shot lead. Yesterday he
cruised to victory. He took the lead on after round
two and never looked back. So, you know what, I
don't know what's more fun watching him dominate the field
and look, I'm happy he's an American winning on foreign soil.

(07:09):
It is fun to watch that these days. So Scotty Scheffler,
who dominates, I don't know if it's more fun watching
that because he absolutely had complete control of his game,
there was no help from the field or any of that.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
He dominated.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
I don't know if it's more fun watching that or
watching him with Bennett afterwards, his little son, and it
was that who did not have a poop stain on him.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
That was great. Yeah, he didn't have the explosion up
his back.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
But watching him kinda with them, with his family and
all the things he said leading up to this week,
saying if this got in the way of his family.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
If golf got in the way, he's gone. That's it.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
I will leave it in the dust, and so hats
off to Scotty Scheffler, who's doing it the right way.
Right now, he picks up another three point one million
plus the Claret jug now have for a year. So
you get to drink whatever you want out of it,
and you get to have fun with it, you know, yes,
of course, but okay, I know there's plenty of Americans

(08:10):
who've won that to probably did not drink Guinness out
of it.

Speaker 3 (08:12):
As so as a fan of golf, I mean, when
you're watching that, do you care? Are you so busy
watching their play that you don't care what they're playing?
I mean the Links course versus one of these beautiful
contoured American courses.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
Do I care?

Speaker 3 (08:29):
Is it more enjoyable either way? Because you know American
golf tournaments, the scenery is almost set up as part
of the shot as much as the golfing is.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
Yes, the field is part of what gets me going
when I'm watching the field, the competition that's happening right
in front of my eyes live golf. The other part,
certainly are these beautiful courses, the TPC Sawgrass which is
the Players Championship, or you know, the mere field like
at Memorial right, seeing that, watching them play that, knowing

(09:00):
how hard that course is, watching them at Augusta, you know,
at Augusta National and the Masters every year, all the
different courses that are in rotation for the US Open
and for the PGA Championship. So yes, the courses really matter.
And then when you're talking about the fourth and final
major of the year in that the Open, the one

(09:21):
hundred and fifty third playing of the Open, which just
happened over the weekend, watching them at Royal Port Rush
in Northern Ireland and having live footage and watching that
knowing how it can get nuts there with the weather.
It can just they say there's two you know how
you know when it's getting ready to rain because it
just stopped, Like that's the joke there. And there was

(09:42):
a lot of sunshine there. I'm like, where are we at?
This doesn't look like Ireland. Why is the sun out?
So watching them play on link style, the wind, it's
a very different style of golf, and to see an
American golfer go over and dominate because they are used
to American courses, there's no question about that, which played
completely different than link style courses. The way the wind

(10:05):
whips up, so on and so forth. It is a
different approach, and the weather determines how you're going to
approach the way you're playing the game. But to have
that in your arsenal as a golfer who does this
for a living, and to watch Scotty do what he's doing,
he's just bolstering the fact that he's number one in
the world and the guy's got every shot right now
for the most part, because there's a lot of different ways.

(10:27):
A lot of times the wind whips up there and
you got to play knockdown shots if you will, stuff
that bores or the trajectory is lower. These American golfers
like to play these high golf shots that tower up
and then drop down so softly onto the green and
sit down next to the pen, that kind of stuff.
So it's the imagination is completely different with you know,

(10:48):
the golf over in Scotland and Ireland and so on.

Speaker 3 (10:53):
I just hope he stays hot, gets a few years
running like this. I don't care about him one way
or the other. I care about what he represents. Well,
we were talking him before we went on the air,
the word karma. He's a good guy. He's a good dad,
he's a good husband. Hand me my little poop kid. Yeah,
and he wins, wins, wins. I love seeing that me too.
I think that kind of sets a standard for the world,

(11:15):
even even though it's just a game of golf. Those
kind of people who who treat each other well and
do things right, I love to see them succeed.

Speaker 1 (11:25):
They get rewarded.

Speaker 2 (11:26):
Absolutely, It's like it's it's you're doing the right thing
and the great things are happening. Not that bad things
don't happen to good people, clearly, you know, but it
it is cool to watch that.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
There's no question about that.

Speaker 3 (11:38):
Man.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
So congrats Scotti Scheffler, very very cool, dominating, dominating the field,
winning by four shots. Never really in Jeopardy yesterday, like
I said, at one point had a seven shot lead.
He did have a double Buggie on his card yesterday
which pulled him.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
Back, but then he got him back.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
He got those shots back and ended up winning and
convincing fashion man. I would it's really shocked to see
the update. It was, you know, a little over an
hour ago that popped up on my phone that Malcolm Jamal.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
Warner has passed.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
Yeah, I mean theo Huxtables who were talking about he
was vacationing with his family in Costa Rica. He reportedly drowned,
and he's fifty four years old. Really incredibly and I
know it's cliche to go, man, that's really sad.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
It is really sad.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
I don't know anything much about you know, post Cosby
with him as far as what he did.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
I don't know what kind of money he made from.

Speaker 3 (12:33):
He's been in quite a few TV shows, so.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
There it is. I know he's talented.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
He's a talented actor, but I just didn't really see
anything of note, if you will. But that doesn't mean
because I didn't know about it, it wasn't of note,
I guess, but you clearly knew.

Speaker 3 (12:46):
Or he's played. I've seen him as a cop on
a couple of things and as a doctor on something,
and I mean he's kept working, so he's you know,
I'm sure he's he's done. Okay, Yeah, but yeah, it's
that whole. It was nineteen eighty four when the Cosme
Show came on, and it was a better era. It
was a better error for television, it was a better
error for families, It was a better error for black people.

(13:08):
It was a better error for America. Here you got
this family, this obgyn, married to an attorney, raising these children,
stressing education, house filled with humor and love. That's what
young people were looking up to. And here we are
forty years later, and look at what they have to

(13:30):
look up to, and look at the world we're in. Yeah,
he was part of an evolution of something that I
think was very positive in this country. And it makes
me say, man fifty four, my god, right, that's terrible.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
Yeah, And that's what they're reporting as far as the
vacationing in Costa Rica and the drowning method of death,
that's what they're reporting.

Speaker 1 (13:50):
And that's it. They said. That is all that is
being reported right now. There's no other there's no other.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
Details with this, but red fire and Warston, for those
are the two worst possible ways to go in my mind,
fire and water. I would rather smother to death than
to drown or be burned to death.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
Which ironically, you're drowning. I mean that's a similar.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
Yeah, I mean you can't breathe, but I guess that
helplessness of being underwater, right would just I don't you
hate to even think about what was going through somebody's
mind at that point, do you even are you cognizant
of what's happening right not's wow, yeah, that's something else.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
It's like you can never know because you clearly can't
ask somebody who well, I guess there are people who
have probably presumed drown and then somehow they talk about
when it's really cold water that it has preserved some
people somehow, some way, because clearly, when the blood flow stops,
you're on the clock as far as you know, your
organ's your major organs, and your brain being a major

(14:54):
organ obviously too that that stuff begins to die. You're
on the clock before you are past the point of damage,
and you know all of that. But man, that is uh, yeah,
it is really really sad, no question,
