What's up.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
I'm Russ with Ambernova Ryant Holmes. Now Angel is going
to bring you monster or Sport.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Monster Sports brought to you by the Just Okay Roasts.
The night before Halloween is known as Devil's Night and
this October thirtieth year and in fighting to join in
one of the terrifying nights of laughs, burns, booze, and
unfiltered fun as they roast the news junkie. It's the
Just Okay Halloween Roast of Sean Watson, presented by Just Cameo,
(01:25):
Orlando's injury attorneys. Shawn's gonna be there, Sobrina is gonna

lineup of comics and entertainers and talented people, including one

Speaker 2 (01:36):
Wow, you know what you should do. It's like, don't
eat a day before and going there hungry if you're
going there hungry, if you meanings.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
Me corn dogs and then take them away.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Yeah, you gotta go with hangary, going there hangry? Are
you hungry?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Now?
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Me too?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
It's that it's grouchy day. No, I can't eat. It's
a fasting blood.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
There's a lot of things that he'll do. He's not
gonna buy food for people when he can't eat.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Hein't doing that. That's what we got, all right.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Yeah, let's start with the Major League Baseball the League
Championship Series, and yesterday was one of the most amazing
displays of pitching that we've ever seen in quite some time.
Dodgers beat the Brewers five to one, but it was
the masterful.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Being on the mound of.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Snowby making MLB playoff history not seen in fifteen years.
They're saying Los Angeles jump out to a to lead
and then basically he shut the Mariners down and uh seven.
They went for seventeen innings, but they ended up going.
(02:52):
He went a complete game, that's what it is, played
a complete game, and the Dodgers end up winning five
to one.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Baseball's two difficult for me to bet on. It feels
a little more willing nilly.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
He struck out his last fourteen batters, just dominated them.
So that's why again one of the more historic recent
displays of pitching on during the playoffs in MLB. Tonight,
we've got the Blue Jays versus the Mariner. See if
the Blue Jays can come up off of being skunk
so far. That's gonna be eight o'clock game. The Mariners
lead that series two to one. Dodgers lead their series.
(03:28):
I'm sorry, Mariners lead that series too nil. Dodgers lead
their series two nil as well. The Dodgers of russ
look to be just the favorite, yeah, class ahead of everybody.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
They're the favorite for even in the World Series. Yeah,
I think they're gonna win.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Just quicker mind that we got NFL on Thursday tomorrow.
It's gonna be the Steelers versus the Bengals. It's gonna
be eight to fifteen start, and they're playing in Cincinnati,
playing yourself a quartering to at least.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
They have to see that, sure, right it's today, right yeah? Yeah, Oho,
you're going to the end of the movie. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
As we were talking about yesterday, and this is coming
from Yahoo Sports, the twenty twenty five w NBA Playoffs
where the most watched ef RO on ESPN with the
ASST Finals when averaging one point five million viewers. So
can the league is looking strong as they go into
this collective bargaining era or time over the summer.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
So you think the ladies will be paid more? Yeah,
they'll conceive they have to, right.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
And if you're adding other teams, you've got the millions
and millions out of their teams and everything you got
to play that, you know, you don't have anything if
you don't have the the athletes.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Yeah, and what the disparity comes is that the like
what the percentage of what the players are being paid
compared to what like executives and stuff like that are
getting paid, right, you know?
Speaker 1 (04:50):
And then when you.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Start seeing these glaring discrepancies, you're like, Okay, something that's
not right.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
And allegedly the commissioners when asked about like Caitlyn Clark,
she's like, listen, Kitlyn Clarks, just lucky that she's making
the sixty million that she's making.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Outside of That's not the right answer, is it. Yeah,
that's not all. Lightning were on the ice yesterday.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
They dropped their matchup versus the Capitals in overtime, three
to two. And then the champions Florida Panthers hit the
ice tonight versus the Red Wings. That's going to be
a seven o'clock start for that game or match, so
keep an eye out for that and some interesting developments Russ.
And then this is again guys being able to extend.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Their basketball careers.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Russell Westbrook looks to take a page out of the
Dwight Howard book. Was he doing and he's having a
bunch of kids? No, no, no, no, And so far as
trying to extend his league. He's playing basketball. He's looking
at an offer, a ridiculous offer, insane offer that the
ix Yang Flying Tigers of the China Professional Basketball League
(06:00):
have made him to come out there and play.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
So if an older player for the NBA, you can
go to China and be like a superstar, right, Oh yeah,
because I mean obviously we have.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
A lot of taller players. The uh no, uh, I
like the fact you were going to answer it though
they had like at one time, Yeah, I mean was
I was just drying. I know.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
So he's being offered ten point nine million, that was.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
The funniest thing. He got so frustrated was going to
answer me.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
So so the deal that he's being offered is about
ten million dollars.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Yeah, ten million.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Dollars more than than what Sacramento Kings could offer him.
So again, it's a pretty lucrative deal. And what Ryan,
I'm curious how you guys feel about this. And again
we're talking in how much gambling has infiltrated all sport
and how much it's accessible and how easy it's accessible, and.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
It's just accepted now.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
It used to be gambling was like, oh this is
a dirty thing. You don't gamble and now it's like, yes,
we all gamble, it's on our phone to gamble all
you went.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Damn.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Rolling Stone had a really incredible piece on how much
money the Americans have spent on gambling and how easy
it is to because it's on your phone, Ryan to
echo this.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Yeah, Ryan does it all the time. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
How do you guys? How does this fall on? How
does this fall on you when you hear this? Okay,
So the NCAA has not fully adopted a proposal to
allow betting on professional sports. So right now, if you're
an athlete in college on scholarship or nil money or whatever,
technically speaking, you're not supposed to be gambling, right right.
(07:45):
So the Division one Administrative Committe approved a proposal, but
it still requires approval from Division too and Division three
to take effect. But if approved, student athletes and staff
would be permitted to bet on professional sports, but not
on college competitions. This is the change aims to align
college athletes with their peers, allow the NCAA to focus
(08:06):
on protecting college game integrity, and provide a platform for
athletes to seek help if they are gambled, if they
have a gambling problem. How does that land on you
when you hear that, Ryan.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
I think it's so easy for this to be like
taking advantage of Again. I while I enjoy gambling, I'm
generally against it most of the time.
Speaker 6 (08:33):
It's weird, bro, you're a dirty degenerate when you gamble.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
And there needs to be hoops And I really shouldn't
be allowed to do this other than going all the
way physically to the hard rock casino.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
You're saying you wish they would stop you from gambling
so much.
Speaker 6 (08:47):
Yes, this guys on his phone gambling with table who
does it for table tennis?
Speaker 1 (08:52):
You're weirdo, You got you gotta understand. The margins on
that are huge. Yeah, there's a real big upside on that.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Yeah, you get some crazy crazy right now.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
So but so here, the the argument Russ is saying
is that, hey, we got to let these athletes at
least bet on college or on professional sports, because that's
what they're our friends are doing.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Right.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
By letting them do that, we're going to protect the
integrity of the college game because they're not going to
be tempted to do things or to throw games, or
to mess up to sway the outcomes of college games.
That's what Basically, the implication here is, uh, so we
got like, hey, we got to let these guys gamble
on the pros so they won't mess with the college game.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
That doesn't make any sense, right, no sense. Yeah, you
just got the whole thing where you got use the
likeness is just.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
If any let them gamble, I mean, like I could care, no,
but don't.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Don't you think like if you're under like the same
way like professional athletes are supposed to like understand like
for example, in every Major League Baseball uh uh their
locker room, it's states out there, no gambling, right yeah,
all right, and so and that's an all professional for us.
Now with the college athletes, if you're under scholarship or
(10:09):
you're under nil.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Gambling, you should so not.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
I agree with you in the sense that I don't
think you should be gambling on any on whether it's
professional or or collegiate sports.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
No, yeah, I agree, Yeah, yeah, I agree. So we'll see, well,
we'll see how that is handled.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Like I said, Division one has approved it, they're waiting
for Division two and Division three to approve it. And
then we'll wrap this up with this just another one
of these fun stories that we love where private equity
firms are infiltrating all the things that we love and
we hold near and dear to our hearts. The New
England Patriots have sold in minority state to private equity
firm sixth Street and investor Dean Metropolis by making the
(10:49):
team's first outside investment owner. Robert Kraft is selling eight
percent stake value at over nine billion dollars to six Street,
purchased at a three percent stake.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
So basically, uh, this is the first.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Uh, there's like four or five teams now that are
have opened their doors or open the door for private
equity firms to invest in these teams.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
So the Patriots are the most recent. So is that
is that bad for any reason? And I can't think
of one. Well, it's bad for the fans.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
Why because when private equity comes in, like there's already
fans that are already like like longtime fans that are
already like this is my last season buying season tickets
because they're being forced out. Because if you get private
equity in there, private equities job is going to return,
get a return and raise prices. Yeah, and so the
normal fan, your everyday fan, you're Joe the Plumber, is
(11:45):
going to get priced out of this.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Oh, I got you. I think already kind of they are?
Speaker 4 (11:49):
They already are.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Yeah, try try to get tickets for the Buccaneers. I
mean season tickets are expensive.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
Yeah, and business is gonna do what business does. But like,
what are you gonna do when you don't have any
real fans left the people that have been like generational
supporters of your team.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
That's and again across all sports, not just NFL. That
is the biggest concern is that the your your, your
grassroots fan, the pre you know, the your you're that
fan base is going to get pushed out of this
and they can't afford to be to go to the game,
to purchase the merge to do any.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Of that, unless you're a Miami Dolphins fan and they'll
give you tickets because they can't get anybody to go
there or.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Or or how about this though, the other part of
that the nerve of even when they're having that bad
of a season, they're calling people up because you're giving
you free tickets to try to sell your.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Tickets for next season. You're right, And that's Monster Sports Rush.
Thank you so much. Take a little breakway a cat
Ridgeway is here. I hear that she is incredible and
she's gonna do a song for us. She's going to
be with us, uh this coming Saturday on Mount Dora
for the Fall Festival. So we'll talk to cat Ridgeway
when we come back. Don't go anywhere. You're listening to
the match of the Morning Angel, Are you miss stuff?
(13:12):
Sometimes sometimes it's worth missing. Sometimes it's funny. So during
the break, Ryan, if you're on our YouTube channel, Real
Radio Monsters on YouTube. Every day he plays wordle with
with the listeners.
Speaker 7 (13:25):
Right.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
So for the very first time he had Amber play
you want to tell you want to tell us?
Speaker 1 (13:31):
What happened?
Speaker 6 (13:32):
I never even knew that this was a New York
Times like this is a big deal, like around the world,
like everyone does this in the morning. I used to
just play like you know, pen and paper.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
She just proved that there's nothing to it, like like
like she just did it like that. What did you say?
Now you got to say I'm smart?
Speaker 6 (13:49):
Yeah, now he has to say I'm smart because this
morning he was.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Like he couldn't figure it out and she got it.
Speaker 6 (13:53):
He was a little hurt to me this morning. Oh yeah,
you're so smart. In a very facetious way.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
It's not that I could have figured it out.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
It's that I was in the ross of figuring it
out and I was just explaining her how to play.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
She didn't even know the rules.
Speaker 8 (14:05):
Of it, so I was I was guessing. I was guessing.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
So she was like, as I got it down, I did.
I did three guesses.
Speaker 9 (14:11):
You know.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
I got to O and a P.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
That's all I got on there, and the oh's and
the p's in the wrong spot.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
O's in the right spot, and she's like type in
F P O F and that was the word made
me mad. I audibly got mad.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
And we ever guessed it here cat Ridgeway and Cat
You're like, I love that game.
Speaker 10 (14:30):
I do.
Speaker 11 (14:30):
Yeah, she said she played too.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
So yeah, you see the guys in the band goof
on you could you play word?
Speaker 12 (14:36):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 12 (14:36):
No, literally, like I'll just remember at random times of
the day in the van and go, oh it's world times.
Speaker 8 (14:43):
Okay, here you go.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
How long you've been doing that?
Speaker 8 (14:45):
Oh god, it's been a couple of years.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
A couple of years now.
Speaker 8 (14:48):
Yeah, Like I'm hooks man.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Yeah, hey, I will say this that we've never met before.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Have we.
Speaker 8 (14:54):
I don't know if we have.
Speaker 11 (14:55):
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
I don't think so. So you're somebody that I've heard
about a.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Lot from a lot of different people, but I've never
actually met you. Before I met one of my other
friends just texted me this morning, Oh my god, she's amazing.
And someone else tell me you're amazing. Angel tells me
you're amazing. So I've heard a lot about you. I
don't know anything about you, though. So how long have
you been a musician?
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (15:15):
Man?
Speaker 12 (15:15):
I mean I started playing music back when I was
in middle school, but professionally I've probably been at it
somewhere in the like twelve to fifteen year range.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Fifteen years.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
How old were you when you really decided okay I'm doing.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
This for a living.
Speaker 12 (15:29):
Well, I think I was a junior in high school.
Oh so that would have made me like sixteen seventeen. Okay, yeah,
but yeah the chef's table over in Winter Garden, uh huh.
Speaker 11 (15:40):
They found me online and they were like.
Speaker 12 (15:42):
Hey, one of our resident musicians is going to college
and we need to find a replacement.
Speaker 11 (15:46):
You want to come.
Speaker 12 (15:47):
Play sets here the cover gigs, And at the time
I was like, yeah, sure, how long is it and
they're like three hours, and I was like.
Speaker 11 (15:54):
Oh my god, three hours, Like I have to learn
three hours of stuff.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
That's a lot happen.
Speaker 12 (15:59):
And so I would come home from school, I do
my homework and then I'd learn like five songs. And
I did that for a few months, and then finally
I had this huge binder.
Speaker 8 (16:06):
This is like before iPads existed, right, And so I
had this.
Speaker 12 (16:10):
Gigantic binder of songs and then I started playing there
and then just my whole life kind of snowballed out
from that one thing.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Yeah, and then I went out there to get you
and everything. And is that your manager or your dad?
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Both.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
And you've got your own your own album. I don't
know how many albums you have it. I've got one
here this like all your original stuff. How many albums
do you have?
Speaker 12 (16:32):
So this is my first full length, but it's technically,
I want to say, my fourth official release, uh huh.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
And yeah, and you got CDs made, which a lot
of people don't do that anymore. They just go straight
to online because they figure people going to So, so
what made you decide to go with the CDs?
Speaker 12 (16:46):
Honestly, there has been such a resurgence in CD sales.
People are all about nostalgia and like the early two
thousands and nineties esthetic and so CDs are kind of
having a comeback.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
You even had the other pot. You get some vinyl
out there too.
Speaker 11 (17:00):
Right, Yeah, Vinyl is the bomb. We finally have vinyl.
This is the first time we've ever had it, and
I'm so pumped.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Angel loves vinyl. Matter of fact, we're going to do
a Vinyl night in a couple of weeks.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Sometimes gonna be a couple week because we don't know.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
What I was going to say, is that the other
part of it why people are going back to CDs
and vinyl, is that the thought process of owning or
having the physical product as opposed to streaming it, because
then at that point you don't quote unquote really own it,
whereas owning or having that stuff. It's making a bigger
connection to the artists, you know for sure.
Speaker 12 (17:31):
And a lot of people are bucking back on different
streaming services now for a lot of different reasons.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Yeah, I'm looking at Spotify right there.
Speaker 8 (17:38):
Yeah, yep, I am looking directly at you.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
So you said three different four or three or four
different albums, Yeah, so original material like did you just
go Okay, I'm gonna wake up today and today I'm
going to write a song, or do you wait till
you're inspired? And like, Okay, I just got an inspiration,
let me go write it down. How do you write music?
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Man?
Speaker 12 (17:56):
It's kind of a mix of both, but more recently
it's it's kind of been when something hits me just
because I've been so busy, like touring and being on
the road and stuff. But by way of doing that,
I'm around music twenty four to seven, So I'm coming
up with stuff all the time, just like at sound
check or rehearsal or whatever, you know.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
So when you say touring, like like, what kind of
touring are you doing? Just through the state of Florida
to the whole South, through the whole country?
Speaker 12 (18:22):
What we actually just hit the entire country in the
past year. Really unbelievable.
Speaker 8 (18:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (18:28):
Back in August, I got to do my first run
all the way down the West Coast. It took us
six days to drive from Orlando up to Seattle.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Now are you are you headlining? Are you opening for people?
What are you doing?
Speaker 7 (18:39):
Uh?
Speaker 11 (18:39):
Both?
Speaker 12 (18:40):
So the West Coast run, we were doing a co
headline tour with a really awesome band from out West
called Mineral King, uh huh.
Speaker 11 (18:46):
And we actually just got off the road.
Speaker 12 (18:48):
I just got back home like two days ago from
another run up the East Coast with a new project
from Veronica Swift.
Speaker 11 (18:55):
Yeah who you may know her.
Speaker 12 (18:57):
She's a jazz singer who sings with postmodern jukebox among
Oh yeah, yeah, she's incredible. But she was like, dude,
I have always wanted to play rock and roll music.
And so she ends up marrying Brian Wiglione, the drummer
known for playing with the Dresden Dolls.
Speaker 8 (19:11):
And the Violet Fins.
Speaker 12 (19:12):
Okay, and so they start this very Queen inspired rock
opera thing called Dame and this was their debut tour
and we were their direct support for that.
Speaker 8 (19:21):
So that was that was awesome. So cool.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
That's pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
And then the genre that you would call what you
do Now, you're holding a banjo, so I imagine it's country,
But am I wrong?
Speaker 12 (19:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 11 (19:32):
No, it's definitely not.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
I assume a banjo that's what would you call the genre?
Speaker 12 (19:38):
Yeah, So for me, I mean I'm more in like
the indie rock sphere, but I played the banjo pretty
non traditionally, I'm usually like smacking it with drumsticks and
stuff like that.
Speaker 7 (19:50):
Live.
Speaker 12 (19:51):
Yeah, the song I was planning to play today does
come off more twangy when I play it acoustically solo,
but when you hear the record version, that's a little
more out there.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Okay, all right. And then this banjo.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
As soon as you walked in, I'm like, that's a
really cool looking instrument.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
To tell me about that.
Speaker 11 (20:07):
Yeah, this thing is so special.
Speaker 12 (20:09):
So being from Florida, I've had the incredible opportunity to
get sponsored by gold Tone because they're based out of Titusville, Oka.
And so when I went to the showroom floor for
the first time to pick a banjo to bring on tour,
I was specifically looking for a resonator banjo, which are
the type that have a back so they sound twenty
year So I wanted that for because I run it
(20:31):
through a bunch of different effects, it works better. But
I picked this one up and I was like, this
is not at all what I wanted, but man like,
I really like this thing. So I sat on it
for months. It's it's it's just a like it's a
dark face instead of you normally see white yes, the
(20:53):
same material.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
That's the top thing.
Speaker 11 (20:57):
This is a wooden armrest.
Speaker 8 (20:58):
But yeah, what's really neat about this?
Speaker 12 (21:00):
It's actually the prototype that the entire High Moon series
was based off of.
Speaker 8 (21:05):
So Chris the master luthier there.
Speaker 12 (21:07):
Yeah, I want to say, he built like fifty nine
versions of this banjo and this is like number fifty nine,
which then became serial number zero for this entire series.
So this is like the original High Moon.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
So okay, so you say the genre is not country,
it's more andy rock. But does any rock use a
lot of banjo?
Speaker 11 (21:27):
It depends on who you're listening to.
Speaker 12 (21:30):
But yeah, I'm usually running my banjo through a bunch
of different effects like a guitar player would.
Speaker 8 (21:35):
I played guitar as well.
Speaker 12 (21:36):
And honestly, what happened one day was I was just like, well,
I can plug this in. Yeah what happens if I
run it through distortion and delay and all this other
stuff that guitar players do all the time.
Speaker 11 (21:47):
And then I was like, well that's cool.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Yeah, that's cool.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
And I say you've got you got your Fleetwood Mac
T shirt, you know, so that your is that your
inspiration or or is that just you just got that
shirt on today.
Speaker 11 (21:56):
I'm not even gonna lie to you.
Speaker 12 (21:57):
I found this in a green room somewhere and I
was like, oh, well, someone left it here and no
one claimed.
Speaker 11 (22:02):
It and also came in.
Speaker 12 (22:07):
I don't know, but I love Fleetwood Max, so I
was like, I gotta op it.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
And so growing up, who would be like your inspiration?
Like who is it you really loved as a kid.
Speaker 11 (22:16):
I mean, honestly, I actually have a very vivid.
Speaker 12 (22:19):
Memory of listening to the radio coming home from school
one day and the first time I heard Modest Mouse
it was the song Ocean Breathed Salty.
Speaker 8 (22:26):
I was like, whatever that is?
Speaker 12 (22:29):
I love okay, And then that whole era of indie
rock just had me in a choke hold. It was
like them fransfordinand the Killers, like that whole era, the Strokes,
Inner Poll, that whole thing. Yeah, was kind of my
my intro into indie rock. And I was like, yeah,
that's the stuff.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Okay, all right, Well a cat Ridgeway is going to
be with us on Saturday at the Mount Dora Fall Festival.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
It's the Fall Harvest Festival. Have you have you been
a out door before?
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Oh?
Speaker 12 (22:59):
Yeah, yeah, Mount Dora and I go way back.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
It's awesome. Yeah, you played out there before. That's what
you saw, right, the Angel.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Yeah, I got to watch her. She played on Jimmy Show. Okay, yeah,
very cool.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
What's up? So talk to us about the song you're
going to do today?
Speaker 8 (23:16):
Yeah, so I was.
Speaker 12 (23:19):
I had the amazing opportunity to be an artist in
residence at this little cabin in Georgia. This art gallery
owns this little cabin and all I had to do
was come up and make art for like a week.
And so I'm sitting there and I'm putting so much
pressure on myself. I got to write the best song
I've ever written, and I end up inducing the worst
(23:40):
bout of writer's block I've ever had. So luckily I
brought some gummies with me. I decided to take not
one but two, and I am the one hit wonder.
So that was a lot for me. And then I
was like, you know what else I'm going to do today.
I'm going to go on a walk in those woods on.
Speaker 9 (23:54):
That trail, and I do and I got so lost,
and I ended up having to call the folks who
owned the property I was staying on, and they ended
up giving me the most backwoods directions back to my
little cabin included like specific trees, and I was staying
on five thousand acres of woods and I was like, Okay,
I don't know how.
Speaker 11 (24:15):
I'm ever going to make it back to civilization.
Speaker 12 (24:16):
But eventually I did, and when I did, I realized
I'd only been like fifty yards away from the cabin.
I really did so, But when I got back, all
I could think about was like, Dude, if parallel universes
do exist, I definitely died in these woods, and at
least five of them. So I just I wrote this
(24:41):
really more is just a means to calm myself down.
But then the funniest part about this song to me
now is once I stopped taking songwriting so seriously and
we got in the studio and recorded it, and I
literally told my co producer. I was like, dude, I
do not want this to be a bluegrass track. He's like, well,
the let's make non bluegrass decisions. We end up with
(25:02):
the weirdest thing I've ever recorded, and to date, it's
the most successful thing I've ever put out.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
All Right, what's the song?
Speaker 8 (25:10):
This song is called what If?
Speaker 1 (25:11):
What If? Okay, here we go is a cat ridgeway
with what if.
Speaker 8 (25:26):
It's parallels.
Speaker 7 (25:30):
Universes exist?
Speaker 13 (25:35):
How many versionss of this.
Speaker 8 (25:40):
Life have I lived?
Speaker 7 (25:45):
And how many other different people have I been? What
every choice I've ever made in its own universe play?
I've always just got of boy, if you can't think it,
(26:07):
it must be somewhere.
Speaker 11 (26:11):
Out there. I've always just got a booby.
Speaker 13 (26:15):
If you can't think it, it must be somewhere.
Speaker 10 (26:20):
If not here, If everything I've.
Speaker 8 (26:37):
Ever thought.
Speaker 13 (26:41):
Really exists somewhere, Oh my god, you won't believe the
things I've seen are all.
Speaker 11 (26:54):
The craziest things.
Speaker 7 (26:56):
I've heard above her, or all the stupid ways I died.
Speaker 11 (27:03):
But that's somehow.
Speaker 8 (27:04):
Survived in this life.
Speaker 7 (27:08):
I'm alright, Sometimes I get carried away.
Speaker 11 (27:14):
Live in my other life.
Speaker 7 (27:17):
I'll say, every fight, but for each tragedy, there's an
another scenrectif five ecuse your mind?
Speaker 8 (27:29):
Buy why?
Speaker 7 (27:34):
And I know it's dense, but really ask yourself?
Speaker 6 (27:39):
What if?
Speaker 11 (27:44):
What if hey don't Welcome to all in the possibility?
This's a billion of one and another ninety three.
Speaker 13 (27:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (27:55):
How I got here, but I did?
Speaker 11 (27:58):
You did? Welcome to all? Impossibility? Is it playing one
in another ninety three.
Speaker 7 (28:04):
I don't know how I got here, buddy, I did

Speaker 8 (28:08):

Speaker 11 (28:09):

Speaker 1 (28:36):
A lot of.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
People loving it, man, A lot of people loving your voice.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
Uh uh.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Song makes sense?
Speaker 2 (28:41):
This person, you gotta you gotta thumbs up. One person
says Dixie Chips Dixie Chicks vibe just because they hear
a bandjo to Hey, what is the definition of indie rock?
I'll be honest with you, I don't know what. Yeah,
what is the definition of indie rock?
Speaker 12 (28:56):
Well, more recently, I think it's kind of become really
just rock made by musicians that aren't signed to a label.
But yeah, but genre wise, I would kind of constitute
it as rock that maybe uses like a little bit
weirder of chords than like classic rocks, like not so
(29:18):
much major tonality.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
It's kind of different sound to it.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
I just can't pinpoint what it would it kind.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Of like all the bands that she mentioned that influence her,
for example, The Killers, The Killers Are would fall under
indie rock because of you know, they're they're the way
that they sonically approach their music. And whereas when we
talk about rock bands, and you know how a lot
of the rock bands kind of sound the same sonically.
They know the lyrical content will be different, uh that
(29:47):
kind of saying, but they still have like that pattern
that they kind of follow. With independent rock artists or arts,
the experimental.
Speaker 8 (29:55):
Yeah, it can get a little weirder.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
That's a good way. Well, I'll tell you this, and
I like that.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
It was really a pleasure to meet you had that
star energy as soon as you came in that you
lit up the room. You got you know, you're not

You're loosely affiliated with the station for quite some time now.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
That is what Uhda said. I've never assumed that before.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
So I guess her dad and Jimmy at one point
worked together where when he had I guess when he
owned the print company, Yeah, print shop company, and then
uh really yeah, and then uh he said he.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Met me before. Okay, maybe that's why.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
Okay, And then she's the one that sang Barracuda with
Jimmy playing the guitar, is what they're saying here.
Speaker 14 (32:35):
Yes, so he he was a screen printing client of
Jimmy's way back in the day when you guys first
started up. Yeah, and he had he'd make those flower pots,
those little plastic flower pots.
Speaker 4 (32:47):
That was his business. And so I did flyers and banners,

Speaker 2 (33:08):
Yeah, I love the was very nice from back by
the way, I'm rushed with Angel and Ryan. A friendly
Ray tranly here with us today and uh and a
good scene you Ray to see you all. You're looking good,
still on your you know, you were talking to Ambernova
a little bit and you're like, you know, you're like
me with some things. You know, you're you're either zero
or one hundred. Yes, And right now you're on your
weight loss and.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
You're on a hundred.
Speaker 4 (33:29):
I'm on a hundred.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Let me yes. Are you driving everybody crazy around you?
Speaker 4 (33:33):
Everybody's crazy around me?
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Why is that? So?
Speaker 14 (33:36):
I I got really big into like this.
Speaker 4 (33:40):
So I'm doing the internet and fasting thing.
Speaker 14 (33:42):
So I'm only eating one meal a day other than like,
I have a separate meal plan, diet plan, and and
supplement plan for when I'm having lunch, and I just
basically shift my my I won't eat another for twenty
seven hours.
Speaker 4 (33:59):
Uh.
Speaker 14 (34:00):
So I have this whole interminfasting thing. I'm also doing Keto,
So I've basically like you know, Keto's like less than
fifty grams of carbohydrates in a day. I'm doing like
strict keto, like less than ten grams of carbs in
a day. And so I used to be a fun guy, right,
Like Fat Ray likes to bring in bagels and.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
Yeah, yeah, Fat Rays awesome.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
Beer is abundant in our fridge.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
Yeah, you drink to go on, drink it up. Yeah,
none of that anymore.
Speaker 4 (34:34):
Skinny Ray is less fun.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
So the mental aspect of that, like how do you
keep your mind preoccupied in the process of a day.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Of not just wanting to eat anything?
Speaker 4 (34:46):
That's a great question.
Speaker 14 (34:47):
So I have a cheat sheet for my diet every
single day, and it includes like three affirmations that I
give myself every single day, and then it has my
supplement plan and my nutrition plan and and I have
it all broken down how many grams of protein I
need to eat?
Speaker 4 (35:04):
How many That's.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
Got to be some hell hell of affirmations to convince
you not to eat.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
No, And then so here's what I Once you get there, though,
is it once you get to the spot, then it's
actually it can be fun not to eat right.
Speaker 14 (35:19):
Absolutely, it's it is a competition with myself every single day.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
I've been there before, and when you're there, you're like, oh,
this is great, but then when you get ptle sandwiches,
you're like, oh, wait a minute.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
I don't understand what you're saying. Like when I was
really going heavy to hardcore fitness and I was doing
following the diet and I would do my meals and everything.
When you're at that level, it becomes fun because you
can see your body respond to subtle changes, like within
a day.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
It's a while to get there. It's that work to
get there that is a pain in the butt. How
much way you lost so far?
Speaker 4 (35:55):
I've lost seventeen pounds as.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
Of yesterday, and you're wanting to get down to I.
Speaker 14 (36:00):
Want to get down to one hundred and seventy five pounds.
I want to lose another eight Oh wow, so I wanted.
My goal weight is to stay around one eighty. But
I'm going to stay on the Keto diet. I'm just
going to increase the cleric intake from November fifteenth through
December fifteenth.
Speaker 4 (36:18):
Dish see how I can bounce that out.
Speaker 14 (36:20):
And I'm going to slowly introduce a little bit of carbohydrates,
so like maybe like less than one hundred grams of
carbs a day.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
What weight class did you wrestle when you wrestle?
Speaker 14 (36:28):
Ooh, when I was in high school, I wrestled at
one hundred and thirty five. When I went to college,
I dropped all the way down to one hundred and
twenty three pounds.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (36:39):
And so here's here's the threshold I reached.
Speaker 14 (36:42):
So I've you know, I'm doing all kinds of crazy stuff,
and I've tried to I've tried to reintroduce like some
of the core powerlifting lifts back into my daily routine
just to help build some of the bigger muscle groups.
Speaker 4 (36:56):
With this diet. I can't do that. It's too strenuous.
Speaker 14 (36:59):
But I remember, I remember how I felt when I
was that weight, which is why I quit wrestling. I
quit wrestling because I felt weak all the time. I
felt tired all the time. Like I would wrestle and
I'd be exhausted. I literally fall asleep on the mat.
I would just be like, I need to go take
a nap. And so I remember what that's like now
because I don't have carbs feeling me all day long,
(37:20):
So I don't think I'll ever get anywhere close to that.
Speaker 4 (37:24):
I just want to get uh lean.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
So what are you Thanksgiving? Are you gonna eat an eat?
Speaker 14 (37:28):
You're gonna I'm gonna eat, but again, I'm gonna try
to keep it to the intermint fasting. I'm going to
immediately go for probably a run because I'm gonna have
carbs by then.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
Yeah, you're you. You have a in your office? Then
you say you have like a.
Speaker 4 (37:44):
I bought a used treadmill. I threw a treadmill in
the office.
Speaker 6 (37:47):
That's dedication, boys, because.
Speaker 14 (37:49):
You know, part of the research I've been doing is
just trying to make sure that you know, I'm not
dumping a ton of insulin uh every time I eat
one big meal because I eat like fifteen hundred calories
and one meal.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
So you're full into it. It's you, it's your, it's your,
it's what you're focused on.
Speaker 4 (38:05):
It is what I'm focused on.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
Yeah, if you're focused on it, and.
Speaker 14 (38:08):
I've got I've got I've done I think four trials
so far in the last month and a half, and
I've got three more trials before Thanksgiving, and so that
helps because part of what I'm doing is I'm focusing
on I got trial prepproutine that I have to do,
I got to meet with the clients, I got to
all these things. And I'm also focusing on my diet.
So like I'm just laser focused. I'm not a lot
of fun to be around.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
Is your wife happy? That's a great question.
Speaker 8 (38:34):
I look like I just now thought about it.
Speaker 14 (38:36):
I've not thought about it for a single moment. All
I'm thinking about is this is what I want to
do determined.
Speaker 3 (38:42):
Have you elimited in caffeine as well, or for the
most part I have.
Speaker 14 (38:47):
I will when I do my three day fast, I
will do a uh. I'll do like a black tea
uh in the morning just to kind of help keep
me going.
Speaker 4 (38:57):
I got a black coffee too, but.
Speaker 14 (39:02):
I'm trying to do black tea mostly for the extra
antioxidants that are in it. So, so when you do
all right, so you you don't you go for seven
hours not eating?
Speaker 6 (39:12):
Right?
Speaker 3 (39:12):
I go, I go seventeen hours, seventeen I think he
goes okay, seventeen hours not eating. So when you go
to sit down, what does a meal traditionally look like
for you? Like, what, like, are you usually just eating
four ounces of protein?
Speaker 4 (39:26):
He's doing keto, right, Yeah, I'm doing keto.
Speaker 14 (39:28):
So what I'm doing is, uh, I do maybe about
eight ounces of bone broth just to kind of start
sipping on.
Speaker 5 (39:37):
I do not miss keto.
Speaker 14 (39:39):
I do, and then I do about ten ounces of
lean protein and then.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
Like an example of one, then the cheese.
Speaker 14 (39:47):
So like I've eat I've been eating a ton of
Greek chicken. I just take that skin off and eat that.
Yesterday I had some Turkish chickens.
Speaker 4 (39:56):
Those who don't get along in your bad chicken story.
Speaker 14 (40:00):
And then I you know, one of the things I
found out because I'm like doing the strict keto, I
can only eat so many almonds usually when I'm on
a diet, like like seven usually when I'm on my diet,
almonds are like my thing. But almonds have a lot
of net carbs. I mean not a lot, but too
many for me. So I can only have like twelve
m in a day.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
Boy, you're a thrill a minute, right.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
We gotta take a break break well?
Speaker 2 (40:30):
I hate yeah, making me hully listen, it's it's a
TK law. We're talking divorce and we come back and
they're going to talk about tua. Okay, and find out
where you're where you're at with this dude, fire them, Okay,
Yeah that's what I thought too, Okay, all right, don't
take fire.
Speaker 4 (40:47):
Makes me think of cooking, and cooking makes me think
of food.

Just Okay Halloween Roast of Sean Watson, presented by Just Cameo,
(01:25):
Orlando's injury attorneys. Shawn's gonna be there, Sobrina is gonna
be there, Seling is gonna be there, plus a stellar
lineup of comics and entertainers and talented people, including one
Ryan Holmes.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Wow, you know what you should do. It's like, don't
eat a day before and going there hungry if you're
going there hungry, if you meanings.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
Me corn dogs and then take them away.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Yeah, you gotta go with hangary, going there hangry? Are
you hungry?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Now?
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Me too?
Speaker 2 (01:57):
It's that it's grouchy day. No, I can't eat. It's
a fasting blood.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
There's a lot of things that he'll do. He's not
gonna buy food for people when he can't eat.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Hein't doing that. That's what we got, all right.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Yeah, let's start with the Major League Baseball the League
Championship Series, and yesterday was one of the most amazing
displays of pitching that we've ever seen in quite some time.
Dodgers beat the Brewers five to one, but it was
the masterful.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Being on the mound of.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Snowby making MLB playoff history not seen in fifteen years.
They're saying Los Angeles jump out to a to lead
and then basically he shut the Mariners down and uh seven.
They went for seventeen innings, but they ended up going.
(02:52):
He went a complete game, that's what it is, played
a complete game, and the Dodgers end up winning five
to one.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Baseball's two difficult for me to bet on. It feels
a little more willing nilly.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
He struck out his last fourteen batters, just dominated them.
So that's why again one of the more historic recent
displays of pitching on during the playoffs in MLB. Tonight,
we've got the Blue Jays versus the Mariner. See if
the Blue Jays can come up off of being skunk
so far. That's gonna be eight o'clock game. The Mariners
lead that series two to one. Dodgers lead their series.
(03:28):
I'm sorry, Mariners lead that series too nil. Dodgers lead
their series two nil as well. The Dodgers of russ
look to be just the favorite, yeah, class ahead of everybody.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
They're the favorite for even in the World Series. Yeah,
I think they're gonna win.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Just quicker mind that we got NFL on Thursday tomorrow.
It's gonna be the Steelers versus the Bengals. It's gonna
be eight to fifteen start, and they're playing in Cincinnati,
playing yourself a quartering to at least.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
They have to see that, sure, right it's today, right yeah? Yeah, Oho,
you're going to the end of the movie. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
As we were talking about yesterday, and this is coming
from Yahoo Sports, the twenty twenty five w NBA Playoffs
where the most watched ef RO on ESPN with the
ASST Finals when averaging one point five million viewers. So
can the league is looking strong as they go into
this collective bargaining era or time over the summer.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
So you think the ladies will be paid more? Yeah,
they'll conceive they have to, right.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
And if you're adding other teams, you've got the millions
and millions out of their teams and everything you got
to play that, you know, you don't have anything if
you don't have the the athletes.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Yeah, and what the disparity comes is that the like
what the percentage of what the players are being paid
compared to what like executives and stuff like that are
getting paid, right, you know?
Speaker 1 (04:50):
And then when you.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Start seeing these glaring discrepancies, you're like, Okay, something that's
not right.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
And allegedly the commissioners when asked about like Caitlyn Clark,
she's like, listen, Kitlyn Clarks, just lucky that she's making
the sixty million that she's making.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Outside of That's not the right answer, is it. Yeah,
that's not all. Lightning were on the ice yesterday.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
They dropped their matchup versus the Capitals in overtime, three
to two. And then the champions Florida Panthers hit the
ice tonight versus the Red Wings. That's going to be
a seven o'clock start for that game or match, so
keep an eye out for that and some interesting developments Russ.
And then this is again guys being able to extend.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Their basketball careers.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Russell Westbrook looks to take a page out of the
Dwight Howard book. Was he doing and he's having a
bunch of kids? No, no, no, no, And so far as
trying to extend his league. He's playing basketball. He's looking
at an offer, a ridiculous offer, insane offer that the
ix Yang Flying Tigers of the China Professional Basketball League
(06:00):
have made him to come out there and play.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
So if an older player for the NBA, you can
go to China and be like a superstar, right, Oh yeah,
because I mean obviously we have.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
A lot of taller players. The uh no, uh, I
like the fact you were going to answer it though
they had like at one time, Yeah, I mean was
I was just drying. I know.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
So he's being offered ten point nine million, that was.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
The funniest thing. He got so frustrated was going to
answer me.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
So so the deal that he's being offered is about
ten million dollars.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Yeah, ten million.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Dollars more than than what Sacramento Kings could offer him.
So again, it's a pretty lucrative deal. And what Ryan,
I'm curious how you guys feel about this. And again
we're talking in how much gambling has infiltrated all sport
and how much it's accessible and how easy it's accessible, and.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
It's just accepted now.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
It used to be gambling was like, oh this is
a dirty thing. You don't gamble and now it's like, yes,
we all gamble, it's on our phone to gamble all
you went.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Damn.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Rolling Stone had a really incredible piece on how much
money the Americans have spent on gambling and how easy
it is to because it's on your phone, Ryan to
echo this.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Yeah, Ryan does it all the time. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
How do you guys? How does this fall on? How
does this fall on you when you hear this? Okay,
So the NCAA has not fully adopted a proposal to
allow betting on professional sports. So right now, if you're
an athlete in college on scholarship or nil money or whatever,
technically speaking, you're not supposed to be gambling, right right.
(07:45):
So the Division one Administrative Committe approved a proposal, but
it still requires approval from Division too and Division three
to take effect. But if approved, student athletes and staff
would be permitted to bet on professional sports, but not
on college competitions. This is the change aims to align
college athletes with their peers, allow the NCAA to focus
(08:06):
on protecting college game integrity, and provide a platform for
athletes to seek help if they are gambled, if they
have a gambling problem. How does that land on you
when you hear that, Ryan.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
I think it's so easy for this to be like
taking advantage of Again. I while I enjoy gambling, I'm
generally against it most of the time.
Speaker 6 (08:33):
It's weird, bro, you're a dirty degenerate when you gamble.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
And there needs to be hoops And I really shouldn't
be allowed to do this other than going all the
way physically to the hard rock casino.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
You're saying you wish they would stop you from gambling
so much.
Speaker 6 (08:47):
Yes, this guys on his phone gambling with table who
does it for table tennis?
Speaker 1 (08:52):
You're weirdo, You got you gotta understand. The margins on
that are huge. Yeah, there's a real big upside on that.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Yeah, you get some crazy crazy right now.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
So but so here, the the argument Russ is saying
is that, hey, we got to let these athletes at
least bet on college or on professional sports, because that's
what they're our friends are doing.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Right.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
By letting them do that, we're going to protect the
integrity of the college game because they're not going to
be tempted to do things or to throw games, or
to mess up to sway the outcomes of college games.
That's what Basically, the implication here is, uh, so we
got like, hey, we got to let these guys gamble
on the pros so they won't mess with the college game.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
That doesn't make any sense, right, no sense. Yeah, you
just got the whole thing where you got use the
likeness is just.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
If any let them gamble, I mean, like I could care, no,
but don't.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Don't you think like if you're under like the same
way like professional athletes are supposed to like understand like
for example, in every Major League Baseball uh uh their
locker room, it's states out there, no gambling, right yeah,
all right, and so and that's an all professional for us.
Now with the college athletes, if you're under scholarship or
(10:09):
you're under nil.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Gambling, you should so not.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
I agree with you in the sense that I don't
think you should be gambling on any on whether it's
professional or or collegiate sports.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
No, yeah, I agree, Yeah, yeah, I agree. So we'll see, well,
we'll see how that is handled.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Like I said, Division one has approved it, they're waiting
for Division two and Division three to approve it. And
then we'll wrap this up with this just another one
of these fun stories that we love where private equity
firms are infiltrating all the things that we love and
we hold near and dear to our hearts. The New
England Patriots have sold in minority state to private equity
firm sixth Street and investor Dean Metropolis by making the
(10:49):
team's first outside investment owner. Robert Kraft is selling eight
percent stake value at over nine billion dollars to six Street,
purchased at a three percent stake.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
So basically, uh, this is the first.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Uh, there's like four or five teams now that are
have opened their doors or open the door for private
equity firms to invest in these teams.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
So the Patriots are the most recent. So is that
is that bad for any reason? And I can't think
of one. Well, it's bad for the fans.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
Why because when private equity comes in, like there's already
fans that are already like like longtime fans that are
already like this is my last season buying season tickets
because they're being forced out. Because if you get private
equity in there, private equities job is going to return,
get a return and raise prices. Yeah, and so the
normal fan, your everyday fan, you're Joe the Plumber, is
(11:45):
going to get priced out of this.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Oh, I got you. I think already kind of they are?
Speaker 4 (11:49):
They already are.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Yeah, try try to get tickets for the Buccaneers. I
mean season tickets are expensive.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
Yeah, and business is gonna do what business does. But like,
what are you gonna do when you don't have any
real fans left the people that have been like generational
supporters of your team.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
That's and again across all sports, not just NFL. That
is the biggest concern is that the your your, your
grassroots fan, the pre you know, the your you're that
fan base is going to get pushed out of this
and they can't afford to be to go to the game,
to purchase the merge to do any.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Of that, unless you're a Miami Dolphins fan and they'll
give you tickets because they can't get anybody to go
there or.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Or or how about this though, the other part of
that the nerve of even when they're having that bad
of a season, they're calling people up because you're giving
you free tickets to try to sell your.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Tickets for next season. You're right, And that's Monster Sports Rush.
Thank you so much. Take a little breakway a cat
Ridgeway is here. I hear that she is incredible and
she's gonna do a song for us. She's going to
be with us, uh this coming Saturday on Mount Dora
for the Fall Festival. So we'll talk to cat Ridgeway
when we come back. Don't go anywhere. You're listening to
the match of the Morning Angel, Are you miss stuff?
(13:12):
Sometimes sometimes it's worth missing. Sometimes it's funny. So during
the break, Ryan, if you're on our YouTube channel, Real
Radio Monsters on YouTube. Every day he plays wordle with
with the listeners.
Speaker 7 (13:25):
Right.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
So for the very first time he had Amber play
you want to tell you want to tell us?
Speaker 1 (13:31):
What happened?
Speaker 6 (13:32):
I never even knew that this was a New York
Times like this is a big deal, like around the world,
like everyone does this in the morning. I used to
just play like you know, pen and paper.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
She just proved that there's nothing to it, like like
like she just did it like that. What did you say?
Now you got to say I'm smart?
Speaker 6 (13:49):
Yeah, now he has to say I'm smart because this
morning he was.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Like he couldn't figure it out and she got it.
Speaker 6 (13:53):
He was a little hurt to me this morning. Oh yeah,
you're so smart. In a very facetious way.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
It's not that I could have figured it out.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
It's that I was in the ross of figuring it
out and I was just explaining her how to play.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
She didn't even know the rules.
Speaker 8 (14:05):
Of it, so I was I was guessing. I was guessing.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
So she was like, as I got it down, I did.
I did three guesses.
Speaker 9 (14:11):
You know.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
I got to O and a P.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
That's all I got on there, and the oh's and
the p's in the wrong spot.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
O's in the right spot, and she's like type in
F P O F and that was the word made
me mad. I audibly got mad.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
And we ever guessed it here cat Ridgeway and Cat
You're like, I love that game.
Speaker 10 (14:30):
I do.
Speaker 11 (14:30):
Yeah, she said she played too.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
So yeah, you see the guys in the band goof
on you could you play word?
Speaker 12 (14:36):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 12 (14:36):
No, literally, like I'll just remember at random times of
the day in the van and go, oh it's world times.
Speaker 8 (14:43):
Okay, here you go.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
How long you've been doing that?
Speaker 8 (14:45):
Oh god, it's been a couple of years.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
A couple of years now.
Speaker 8 (14:48):
Yeah, Like I'm hooks man.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Yeah, hey, I will say this that we've never met before.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Have we.
Speaker 8 (14:54):
I don't know if we have.
Speaker 11 (14:55):
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
I don't think so. So you're somebody that I've heard
about a.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Lot from a lot of different people, but I've never
actually met you. Before I met one of my other
friends just texted me this morning, Oh my god, she's amazing.
And someone else tell me you're amazing. Angel tells me
you're amazing. So I've heard a lot about you. I
don't know anything about you, though. So how long have
you been a musician?
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (15:15):
Man?
Speaker 12 (15:15):
I mean I started playing music back when I was
in middle school, but professionally I've probably been at it
somewhere in the like twelve to fifteen year range.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Fifteen years.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
How old were you when you really decided okay I'm doing.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
This for a living.
Speaker 12 (15:29):
Well, I think I was a junior in high school.
Oh so that would have made me like sixteen seventeen. Okay, yeah,
but yeah the chef's table over in Winter Garden, uh huh.
Speaker 11 (15:40):
They found me online and they were like.
Speaker 12 (15:42):
Hey, one of our resident musicians is going to college
and we need to find a replacement.
Speaker 11 (15:46):
You want to come.
Speaker 12 (15:47):
Play sets here the cover gigs, And at the time
I was like, yeah, sure, how long is it and
they're like three hours, and I was like.
Speaker 11 (15:54):
Oh my god, three hours, Like I have to learn
three hours of stuff.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
That's a lot happen.
Speaker 12 (15:59):
And so I would come home from school, I do
my homework and then I'd learn like five songs. And
I did that for a few months, and then finally
I had this huge binder.
Speaker 8 (16:06):
This is like before iPads existed, right, And so I
had this.
Speaker 12 (16:10):
Gigantic binder of songs and then I started playing there
and then just my whole life kind of snowballed out
from that one thing.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Yeah, and then I went out there to get you
and everything. And is that your manager or your dad?
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Both.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
And you've got your own your own album. I don't
know how many albums you have it. I've got one
here this like all your original stuff. How many albums
do you have?
Speaker 12 (16:32):
So this is my first full length, but it's technically,
I want to say, my fourth official release, uh huh.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
And yeah, and you got CDs made, which a lot
of people don't do that anymore. They just go straight
to online because they figure people going to So, so
what made you decide to go with the CDs?
Speaker 12 (16:46):
Honestly, there has been such a resurgence in CD sales.
People are all about nostalgia and like the early two
thousands and nineties esthetic and so CDs are kind of
having a comeback.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
You even had the other pot. You get some vinyl
out there too.
Speaker 11 (17:00):
Right, Yeah, Vinyl is the bomb. We finally have vinyl.
This is the first time we've ever had it, and
I'm so pumped.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Angel loves vinyl. Matter of fact, we're going to do
a Vinyl night in a couple of weeks.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Sometimes gonna be a couple week because we don't know.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
What I was going to say, is that the other
part of it why people are going back to CDs
and vinyl, is that the thought process of owning or
having the physical product as opposed to streaming it, because
then at that point you don't quote unquote really own it,
whereas owning or having that stuff. It's making a bigger
connection to the artists, you know for sure.
Speaker 12 (17:31):
And a lot of people are bucking back on different
streaming services now for a lot of different reasons.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Yeah, I'm looking at Spotify right there.
Speaker 8 (17:38):
Yeah, yep, I am looking directly at you.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
So you said three different four or three or four
different albums, Yeah, so original material like did you just
go Okay, I'm gonna wake up today and today I'm
going to write a song, or do you wait till
you're inspired? And like, Okay, I just got an inspiration,
let me go write it down. How do you write music?
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Man?
Speaker 12 (17:56):
It's kind of a mix of both, but more recently
it's it's kind of been when something hits me just
because I've been so busy, like touring and being on
the road and stuff. But by way of doing that,
I'm around music twenty four to seven, So I'm coming
up with stuff all the time, just like at sound
check or rehearsal or whatever, you know.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
So when you say touring, like like, what kind of
touring are you doing? Just through the state of Florida
to the whole South, through the whole country?
Speaker 12 (18:22):
What we actually just hit the entire country in the
past year. Really unbelievable.
Speaker 8 (18:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (18:28):
Back in August, I got to do my first run
all the way down the West Coast. It took us
six days to drive from Orlando up to Seattle.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Now are you are you headlining? Are you opening for people?
What are you doing?
Speaker 7 (18:39):
Uh?
Speaker 11 (18:39):
Both?
Speaker 12 (18:40):
So the West Coast run, we were doing a co
headline tour with a really awesome band from out West
called Mineral King, uh huh.
Speaker 11 (18:46):
And we actually just got off the road.
Speaker 12 (18:48):
I just got back home like two days ago from
another run up the East Coast with a new project
from Veronica Swift.
Speaker 11 (18:55):
Yeah who you may know her.
Speaker 12 (18:57):
She's a jazz singer who sings with postmodern jukebox among
Oh yeah, yeah, she's incredible. But she was like, dude,
I have always wanted to play rock and roll music.
And so she ends up marrying Brian Wiglione, the drummer
known for playing with the Dresden Dolls.
Speaker 8 (19:11):
And the Violet Fins.
Speaker 12 (19:12):
Okay, and so they start this very Queen inspired rock
opera thing called Dame and this was their debut tour
and we were their direct support for that.
Speaker 8 (19:21):
So that was that was awesome. So cool.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
That's pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
And then the genre that you would call what you
do Now, you're holding a banjo, so I imagine it's country,
But am I wrong?
Speaker 12 (19:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 11 (19:32):
No, it's definitely not.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
I assume a banjo that's what would you call the genre?
Speaker 12 (19:38):
Yeah, So for me, I mean I'm more in like
the indie rock sphere, but I played the banjo pretty
non traditionally, I'm usually like smacking it with drumsticks and
stuff like that.
Speaker 7 (19:50):
Live.
Speaker 12 (19:51):
Yeah, the song I was planning to play today does
come off more twangy when I play it acoustically solo,
but when you hear the record version, that's a little
more out there.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Okay, all right. And then this banjo.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
As soon as you walked in, I'm like, that's a
really cool looking instrument.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
To tell me about that.
Speaker 11 (20:07):
Yeah, this thing is so special.
Speaker 12 (20:09):
So being from Florida, I've had the incredible opportunity to
get sponsored by gold Tone because they're based out of Titusville, Oka.
And so when I went to the showroom floor for
the first time to pick a banjo to bring on tour,
I was specifically looking for a resonator banjo, which are
the type that have a back so they sound twenty
year So I wanted that for because I run it
(20:31):
through a bunch of different effects, it works better. But
I picked this one up and I was like, this
is not at all what I wanted, but man like,
I really like this thing. So I sat on it
for months. It's it's it's just a like it's a
dark face instead of you normally see white yes, the
(20:53):
same material.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
That's the top thing.
Speaker 11 (20:57):
This is a wooden armrest.
Speaker 8 (20:58):
But yeah, what's really neat about this?
Speaker 12 (21:00):
It's actually the prototype that the entire High Moon series
was based off of.
Speaker 8 (21:05):
So Chris the master luthier there.
Speaker 12 (21:07):
Yeah, I want to say, he built like fifty nine
versions of this banjo and this is like number fifty nine,
which then became serial number zero for this entire series.
So this is like the original High Moon.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
So okay, so you say the genre is not country,
it's more andy rock. But does any rock use a
lot of banjo?
Speaker 11 (21:27):
It depends on who you're listening to.
Speaker 12 (21:30):
But yeah, I'm usually running my banjo through a bunch
of different effects like a guitar player would.
Speaker 8 (21:35):
I played guitar as well.
Speaker 12 (21:36):
And honestly, what happened one day was I was just like, well,
I can plug this in. Yeah what happens if I
run it through distortion and delay and all this other
stuff that guitar players do all the time.
Speaker 11 (21:47):
And then I was like, well that's cool.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Yeah, that's cool.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
And I say you've got you got your Fleetwood Mac
T shirt, you know, so that your is that your
inspiration or or is that just you just got that
shirt on today.
Speaker 11 (21:56):
I'm not even gonna lie to you.
Speaker 12 (21:57):
I found this in a green room somewhere and I
was like, oh, well, someone left it here and no
one claimed.
Speaker 11 (22:02):
It and also came in.
Speaker 12 (22:07):
I don't know, but I love Fleetwood Max, so I
was like, I gotta op it.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
And so growing up, who would be like your inspiration?
Like who is it you really loved as a kid.
Speaker 11 (22:16):
I mean, honestly, I actually have a very vivid.
Speaker 12 (22:19):
Memory of listening to the radio coming home from school
one day and the first time I heard Modest Mouse
it was the song Ocean Breathed Salty.
Speaker 8 (22:26):
I was like, whatever that is?
Speaker 12 (22:29):
I love okay, And then that whole era of indie
rock just had me in a choke hold. It was
like them fransfordinand the Killers, like that whole era, the Strokes,
Inner Poll, that whole thing. Yeah, was kind of my
my intro into indie rock. And I was like, yeah,
that's the stuff.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Okay, all right, Well a cat Ridgeway is going to
be with us on Saturday at the Mount Dora Fall Festival.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
It's the Fall Harvest Festival. Have you have you been
a out door before?
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Oh?
Speaker 12 (22:59):
Yeah, yeah, Mount Dora and I go way back.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
It's awesome. Yeah, you played out there before. That's what
you saw, right, the Angel.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Yeah, I got to watch her. She played on Jimmy Show. Okay, yeah,
very cool.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
What's up? So talk to us about the song you're
going to do today?
Speaker 8 (23:16):
Yeah, so I was.
Speaker 12 (23:19):
I had the amazing opportunity to be an artist in
residence at this little cabin in Georgia. This art gallery
owns this little cabin and all I had to do
was come up and make art for like a week.
And so I'm sitting there and I'm putting so much
pressure on myself. I got to write the best song
I've ever written, and I end up inducing the worst
(23:40):
bout of writer's block I've ever had. So luckily I
brought some gummies with me. I decided to take not
one but two, and I am the one hit wonder.
So that was a lot for me. And then I
was like, you know what else I'm going to do today.
I'm going to go on a walk in those woods on.
Speaker 9 (23:54):
That trail, and I do and I got so lost,
and I ended up having to call the folks who
owned the property I was staying on, and they ended
up giving me the most backwoods directions back to my
little cabin included like specific trees, and I was staying
on five thousand acres of woods and I was like, Okay,
I don't know how.
Speaker 11 (24:15):
I'm ever going to make it back to civilization.
Speaker 12 (24:16):
But eventually I did, and when I did, I realized
I'd only been like fifty yards away from the cabin.
I really did so, But when I got back, all
I could think about was like, Dude, if parallel universes
do exist, I definitely died in these woods, and at
least five of them. So I just I wrote this
(24:41):
really more is just a means to calm myself down.
But then the funniest part about this song to me
now is once I stopped taking songwriting so seriously and
we got in the studio and recorded it, and I
literally told my co producer. I was like, dude, I
do not want this to be a bluegrass track. He's like, well,
the let's make non bluegrass decisions. We end up with
(25:02):
the weirdest thing I've ever recorded, and to date, it's
the most successful thing I've ever put out.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
All Right, what's the song?
Speaker 8 (25:10):
This song is called what If?
Speaker 1 (25:11):
What If? Okay, here we go is a cat ridgeway
with what if.
Speaker 8 (25:26):
It's parallels.
Speaker 7 (25:30):
Universes exist?
Speaker 13 (25:35):
How many versionss of this.
Speaker 8 (25:40):
Life have I lived?
Speaker 7 (25:45):
And how many other different people have I been? What
every choice I've ever made in its own universe play?
I've always just got of boy, if you can't think it,
(26:07):
it must be somewhere.
Speaker 11 (26:11):
Out there. I've always just got a booby.
Speaker 13 (26:15):
If you can't think it, it must be somewhere.
Speaker 10 (26:20):
If not here, If everything I've.
Speaker 8 (26:37):
Ever thought.
Speaker 13 (26:41):
Really exists somewhere, Oh my god, you won't believe the
things I've seen are all.
Speaker 11 (26:54):
The craziest things.
Speaker 7 (26:56):
I've heard above her, or all the stupid ways I died.
Speaker 11 (27:03):
But that's somehow.
Speaker 8 (27:04):
Survived in this life.
Speaker 7 (27:08):
I'm alright, Sometimes I get carried away.
Speaker 11 (27:14):
Live in my other life.
Speaker 7 (27:17):
I'll say, every fight, but for each tragedy, there's an
another scenrectif five ecuse your mind?
Speaker 8 (27:29):
Buy why?
Speaker 7 (27:34):
And I know it's dense, but really ask yourself?
Speaker 6 (27:39):
What if?
Speaker 11 (27:44):
What if hey don't Welcome to all in the possibility?
This's a billion of one and another ninety three.
Speaker 13 (27:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (27:55):
How I got here, but I did?
Speaker 11 (27:58):
You did? Welcome to all? Impossibility? Is it playing one
in another ninety three.
Speaker 7 (28:04):
I don't know how I got here, buddy, I did

Speaker 2 (28:37):
People loving it, man, A lot of people loving your voice.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
Uh uh.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Song makes sense?
Speaker 2 (28:41):
This person, you gotta you gotta thumbs up. One person
says Dixie Chips Dixie Chicks vibe just because they hear
a bandjo to Hey, what is the definition of indie rock?
I'll be honest with you, I don't know what. Yeah,
what is the definition of indie rock?
Speaker 12 (28:56):
Well, more recently, I think it's kind of become really
just rock made by musicians that aren't signed to a label.
But yeah, but genre wise, I would kind of constitute
it as rock that maybe uses like a little bit
weirder of chords than like classic rocks, like not so
(29:18):
much major tonality.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
It's kind of different sound to it.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
I just can't pinpoint what it would it kind.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Of like all the bands that she mentioned that influence her,
for example, The Killers, The Killers Are would fall under
indie rock because of you know, they're they're the way
that they sonically approach their music. And whereas when we
talk about rock bands, and you know how a lot
of the rock bands kind of sound the same sonically.
They know the lyrical content will be different, uh that
(29:47):
kind of saying, but they still have like that pattern
that they kind of follow. With independent rock artists or arts,
the experimental.
Speaker 8 (29:55):
Yeah, it can get a little weirder.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
That's a good way. Well, I'll tell you this, and
I like that.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
It was really a pleasure to meet you had that
star energy as soon as you came in that you
lit up the room. You got you know, you're not

owned the print company, Yeah, print shop company, and then
uh really yeah, and then uh he said he.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Met me before. Okay, maybe that's why.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
Okay, And then she's the one that sang Barracuda with

Speaker 14 (32:35):
Yes, so he he was a screen printing client of
Jimmy's way back in the day when you guys first

Ray tranly here with us today and uh and a
good scene you Ray to see you all. You're looking good,
still on your you know, you were talking to Ambernova
a little bit and you're like, you know, you're like
me with some things. You know, you're you're either zero
or one hundred. Yes, And right now you're on your
weight loss and.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
You're on a hundred.
Speaker 4 (33:29):
I'm on a hundred.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Let me yes. Are you driving everybody crazy around you?
Speaker 4 (33:33):
Everybody's crazy around me?
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Why is that? So?
Speaker 14 (33:36):
I I got really big into like this.
Speaker 4 (33:40):
So I'm doing the internet and fasting thing.
Speaker 14 (33:42):
So I'm only eating one meal a day other than like,
I have a separate meal plan, diet plan, and and
supplement plan for when I'm having lunch, and I just
basically shift my my I won't eat another for twenty
seven hours.
Speaker 4 (33:59):
Uh.
Speaker 14 (34:00):
So I have this whole interminfasting thing. I'm also doing Keto,
So I've basically like you know, Keto's like less than
fifty grams of carbohydrates in a day. I'm doing like
strict keto, like less than ten grams of carbs in
a day. And so I used to be a fun guy, right,
Like Fat Ray likes to bring in bagels and.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
Yeah, yeah, Fat Rays awesome.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
Beer is abundant in our fridge.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
Yeah, you drink to go on, drink it up. Yeah,
none of that anymore.
Speaker 4 (34:34):
Skinny Ray is less fun.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
So the mental aspect of that, like how do you
keep your mind preoccupied in the process of a day.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Of not just wanting to eat anything?
Speaker 4 (34:46):
That's a great question.
Speaker 14 (34:47):
So I have a cheat sheet for my diet every
single day, and it includes like three affirmations that I
give myself every single day, and then it has my
supplement plan and my nutrition plan and and I have
it all broken down how many grams of protein I
need to eat?
Speaker 4 (35:04):
How many That's.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
Got to be some hell hell of affirmations to convince
you not to eat.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
No, And then so here's what I Once you get there, though,
is it once you get to the spot, then it's
actually it can be fun not to eat right.
Speaker 14 (35:19):
Absolutely, it's it is a competition with myself every single day.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
I've been there before, and when you're there, you're like, oh,
this is great, but then when you get ptle sandwiches,
you're like, oh, wait a minute.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
I don't understand what you're saying. Like when I was
really going heavy to hardcore fitness and I was doing
following the diet and I would do my meals and everything.
When you're at that level, it becomes fun because you
can see your body respond to subtle changes, like within
a day.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
It's a while to get there. It's that work to
get there that is a pain in the butt. How
much way you lost so far?
Speaker 4 (35:55):
I've lost seventeen pounds as.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
Of yesterday, and you're wanting to get down to I.
Speaker 14 (36:00):
Want to get down to one hundred and seventy five pounds.
I want to lose another eight Oh wow, so I wanted.
My goal weight is to stay around one eighty. But
I'm going to stay on the Keto diet. I'm just
going to increase the cleric intake from November fifteenth through
December fifteenth.
Speaker 4 (36:18):
Dish see how I can bounce that out.
Speaker 14 (36:20):
And I'm going to slowly introduce a little bit of carbohydrates,
so like maybe like less than one hundred grams of
carbs a day.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
What weight class did you wrestle when you wrestle?
Speaker 14 (36:28):
Ooh, when I was in high school, I wrestled at
one hundred and thirty five. When I went to college,
I dropped all the way down to one hundred and
twenty three pounds.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (36:39):
And so here's here's the threshold I reached.
Speaker 14 (36:42):
So I've you know, I'm doing all kinds of crazy stuff,
and I've tried to I've tried to reintroduce like some
of the core powerlifting lifts back into my daily routine
just to help build some of the bigger muscle groups.
Speaker 4 (36:56):
With this diet. I can't do that. It's too strenuous.
Speaker 14 (36:59):
But I remember, I remember how I felt when I
was that weight, which is why I quit wrestling. I
quit wrestling because I felt weak all the time. I
felt tired all the time. Like I would wrestle and
I'd be exhausted. I literally fall asleep on the mat.
I would just be like, I need to go take
a nap. And so I remember what that's like now
because I don't have carbs feeling me all day long,
(37:20):
So I don't think I'll ever get anywhere close to that.
Speaker 4 (37:24):
I just want to get uh lean.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
So what are you Thanksgiving? Are you gonna eat an eat?
Speaker 14 (37:28):
You're gonna I'm gonna eat, but again, I'm gonna try
to keep it to the intermint fasting. I'm going to
immediately go for probably a run because I'm gonna have
carbs by then.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
Yeah, you're you. You have a in your office? Then
you say you have like a.
Speaker 4 (37:44):
I bought a used treadmill. I threw a treadmill in
the office.
Speaker 6 (37:47):
That's dedication, boys, because.
Speaker 14 (37:49):
You know, part of the research I've been doing is
just trying to make sure that you know, I'm not
dumping a ton of insulin uh every time I eat
one big meal because I eat like fifteen hundred calories
and one meal.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
So you're full into it. It's you, it's your, it's your,
it's what you're focused on.
Speaker 4 (38:05):
It is what I'm focused on.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
Yeah, if you're focused on it, and.
Speaker 14 (38:08):
I've got I've got I've done I think four trials
so far in the last month and a half, and
I've got three more trials before Thanksgiving, and so that
helps because part of what I'm doing is I'm focusing
on I got trial prepproutine that I have to do,
I got to meet with the clients, I got to
all these things. And I'm also focusing on my diet.
So like I'm just laser focused. I'm not a lot
of fun to be around.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
Is your wife happy? That's a great question.
Speaker 8 (38:34):
I look like I just now thought about it.
Speaker 14 (38:36):
I've not thought about it for a single moment. All
I'm thinking about is this is what I want to
do determined.
Speaker 3 (38:42):
Have you elimited in caffeine as well, or for the
most part I have.
Speaker 14 (38:47):
I will when I do my three day fast, I
will do a uh. I'll do like a black tea
uh in the morning just to kind of help keep
me going.
Speaker 4 (38:57):
I got a black coffee too, but.
Speaker 14 (39:02):
I'm trying to do black tea mostly for the extra
antioxidants that are in it. So, so when you do
all right, so you you don't you go for seven
hours not eating?
Speaker 6 (39:12):
Right?
Speaker 3 (39:12):
I go, I go seventeen hours, seventeen I think he
goes okay, seventeen hours not eating. So when you go
to sit down, what does a meal traditionally look like
for you? Like, what, like, are you usually just eating
four ounces of protein?
Speaker 4 (39:26):
He's doing keto, right, Yeah, I'm doing keto.
Speaker 14 (39:28):
So what I'm doing is, uh, I do maybe about
eight ounces of bone broth just to kind of start
sipping on.
Speaker 5 (39:37):
I do not miss keto.
Speaker 14 (39:39):
I do, and then I do about ten ounces of
lean protein and then.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
Like an example of one, then the cheese.
Speaker 14 (39:47):
So like I've eat I've been eating a ton of
Greek chicken. I just take that skin off and eat that.
Yesterday I had some Turkish chickens.
Speaker 4 (39:56):
Those who don't get along in your bad chicken story.
Speaker 14 (40:00):
And then I you know, one of the things I
found out because I'm like doing the strict keto, I
can only eat so many almonds usually when I'm on
a diet, like like seven usually when I'm on my diet,
almonds are like my thing. But almonds have a lot
of net carbs. I mean not a lot, but too
many for me. So I can only have like twelve
m in a day.
Speaker 2 (40:21):
Boy, you're a thrill a minute, right.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
We gotta take a break break well?
Speaker 2 (40:30):
I hate yeah, making me hully listen, it's it's a
TK law. We're talking divorce and we come back and
they're going to talk about tua. Okay, and find out
where you're where you're at with this dude, fire them, Okay,
Yeah that's what I thought too, Okay, all right, don't
take fire.
Speaker 4 (40:47):
Makes me think of cooking, and cooking makes me think
of food.
Speaker 1 (40:50):
Don't go anywhere you're listening to the match of the morning.
