I know, like in like two hours? Oh you leave
all your go today? Yeah? Yeah? Oh so there is
no King of Denmark today or do you want to
move it up? No, I'm I'm leaving here at eight thirty.
Oh okay when nobody wants to here for eight thirty exactly.

Speaker 5 (03:25):
We'll scratched it. Okay, scratch that out.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
I just came in make sure everything was running good

Speaker 5 (03:33):

Speaker 2 (03:35):

Speaker 5 (03:36):

Speaker 2 (03:36):
Yeah? He did great? He did great. Ally guy, all
he had to do was hit live and it would
have been a great show.

Speaker 4 (03:41):
Okay, all right, well there you go. Well that's all.
That's all good. Are you excited about your cruise?

Speaker 2 (03:46):
I was until last night? What happened? So whenever you
do cruises, you know you download the app, yeah, and
you do ah, you do a check in, you check
in right, like you upload your passports and do all
that kind of stuff. Change in beforehand. That way you
don't go to do it in line there so you
don't have to go through this long ass terminal line.
And that's why I actually have to leave earlier today.

(04:08):
Uh so we got, you know, got all that stuff done.
So last night I got a notification on my phone
it's like, hey, yeah, fill out your medical documentation okay.
And I'm like, okay, no problem. And so I wait
a little while I'm out bulling Bush last night and
I'm like, oh, yeah, I gotta fill that out.

Speaker 4 (04:26):
You know.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
I got till nine am this morning to do that.
I go to do the final check in and it's like, hey,
we can't check you in because of medical reasons. Medical reason,
because of medical reasons that you answered on the form.
Oh and I go wait, I didn't even fill out
the form. That's crazy, what's up. I go and pull

(04:47):
it thing up and it's like, oh, you answered that
you are at least twenty three weeks pregnant, so we
can't graduation.

Speaker 4 (04:58):
Thank you, thank you. They tail Ryan Holmes is a hell,
could be a girl.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
No, they know I am a man. I fill out
things that say I'm a man. So I get on
the full. Last night, I want to open mic. I'm
just you know, I'm hanging out with my buddies. I'm
waiting to go up on stage. And then I'm like,
I gotta I gotta handle this. So I call them.
It's ten o'clock at night and I'm thirty ten o'clock
at night, and I am on the phone with them
for about an hour. And it turns out once you

(05:26):
fill out your medical form, they can't fix it. Really,
on the phone whatever, they cannot fix it. And I'm like, hey,
I didn't even fill this damn thing out. This is
a computer error. You need to fix this. And I'm
talking to like the regular person. I'm getting upgraded to
the supervisor. No one can do nothing about nothing.

Speaker 4 (05:46):
Because if you fill it out, they assume that the
first thing you say is true, and then you might
just change it so you can get on the cruise.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
Just it goes like, oh, you have to go to
the terminal. People. I get I see the reason for
it because they do it. And they be like, oh wait,
I don't want to do the terminal. I'm not pregnant.
That crazy have chills and coughs and aches, but you
can't be pregnant. You're a man. Thank you, I said.
We live in Biden's America for too long. Apparently, thanks
a lot Biden, Thanks a lot, Biden. So I'm at
least twenty three weeks pregnant according to Royal Caribbean. This

(06:18):
only happens, yeah, but turns out so I'm yelling at
the people. I'm like, it's your computer error. Blah blah blah,
you guys did this, dadda YadA. I'm yelling. And then
I get home and I tell my wife and I'm like, hey,
these idiots screwed up the thing. What dumbasses. I can't
believe these absolute morons were puting me is pregnant. And

(06:41):
she goes, oh, I filled out medical forms and I
accidentally clicked that and I didn't realize it before it
was too late. She thought it said, are you at
least twenty three years old? You know how you're just
skimming things? Yeah, twenty three weeks pregnant, And so I
had to like, I was just yelling about how stupid
the person would be that would do this to my

(07:03):
wife at eleven o'clock last night, and I feel bad.
And then she cried, oh, it was a mistake. I meant,
they're dumb if they're not you, And so yeah, now
I have to go to the term, which I haven't
had to do in so long. Go that long ass
terminal line just to be like, Hi, I'm clearly not pregnant.

Speaker 5 (07:22):
Is it my Tampa?

Speaker 2 (07:25):
Tampa? I want to Tampa. Oh jeez, oh you're leaving
here at May thirty. Yeah, yeah, we'll figure it out.
We figure it out. Time you got to be there?
You be there by noon or one? I think like noon.
Oh okay, yeah, but wow, that sucks. You gotta show
them you're not pregnant. It's insane that, like I can't

(07:45):
make a phone call and fix that in twenty twenty six, right,
like and and these people have these call centers, you
know what I mean. They're like, oh, yeah, I'm talking
to somebody probably got a heavy the India Pakistan accent.
That irritates me to know it. And then I'm thinking, okay,
I'll get to the supervisor. And I'm playing all the

(08:07):
games right because I know how to do this generally,
if I want to get something done on the phone,
I can make it happen. And I'm like, well, I
guess I'll just cancel my whole cruise then, and then
they doubled down and they're like, ah, do it.

Speaker 5 (08:19):
I like with that I'm just to be straight up.

Speaker 4 (08:21):
I understand that that you know, the Pavlock's dog, though
you get bad news the same thing or you know.
So it makes me feel like I don't like Indian
people because because Indian people are the ones that are
always on the other foot making me mad. And I
have to tell myself, Russ, it's not their fault, you know,
I have to go through that gymnastic in my mind because.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
It's always under Indians.

Speaker 4 (08:43):
It's not their fault. I can't understand what they're saying
that the company hired them. Russ, don't be the negative
towards Indian people. But it's hard because no, but you
could be mad at the company. Though I can be
mad at the company.

Speaker 8 (08:54):
You could be mad like whatever, whatever the institution is,
whatever it is, you can be mad at them.

Speaker 4 (08:59):
But when you're trying to explain something like this and
then you and there's a language barrier too, and it's
like god, dang it, man, give me someone like has
a big stupid a Southern.

Speaker 5 (09:08):
Accent or something.

Speaker 8 (09:09):
Think about how the how quickly some of these corporations
would change their course of action if you know you
let it be knowing. Hey, listen, you know what, I'm
not going to do business with you because there's no
one on customer service that I can understand, that can
communicate with me that lets me know what you think
of me as a consumer, right, you know, because if
if they, if they, if these corporations were genuinely concerned,

(09:32):
if you know, like that, like what you said, Ryan,
the fact that they doubled down, that sounds ridiculous to me.
You're a paying customer, you're one of their best customers.
You've been on a bunch of cruises, and there's not
someone on the other end who can recognize that. And
the response is okay, yeah, go ahead cancel it. Then
that that that they said that level of that level
of customer service is nowadays is more common and I

(09:56):
find that just shocking.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
And you think they would begging people to go and
crew is now I mean money's tight with everybody money
and you're like, whoa virus on everything? Right?

Speaker 5 (10:06):
Then you got the other virus?

Speaker 9 (10:07):
You got the oh yeah, yeah, So there was a
there's a normal there's a boat that good was.

Speaker 8 (10:14):
I figured we would get to it at some point today.
But there's a ship that went and uh, doctor in
France and they wouldn't let anybody off the uh yeah,
off the off the boat because they.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
All have normal right, yeah right. I'm so excited those
guys that went on that ship and got just that's
not a thing.

Speaker 5 (10:30):
Oh yeah, it happens. Look out. Don't let it get
in your head and make it so you can't perform
for you.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
This weekend, I bought some blue shoes just in case,
extra condoms. Yeah, well, it doesn't matter. I'm pregnant.

Speaker 4 (10:45):
That's a good point, get pregnant knocked up. I mean,
when you were explaining to that, was it a man
or a woman? A woman, ma'am. I'm a man. I
obviously am not pregnant.

Speaker 8 (10:56):
You, Like he said, the mechanism on their end wouldn't
let them into there.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
I talk to three different people. They're all like, we
literally can't change it.

Speaker 4 (11:04):
I'm sorry, and by the way, we're never gonna get
angel on a cruise ship now.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
But that's the thing, is like I don't get it
because they're like, well, they can change it at the terminal,
and I'm like, well they can change it at the terminal.
That means you can change it. You can change it
right now, right now. I don't have to stress. It's
so frustrating when something is so easy and such a
simple fix like that and just so out of the
realm of like, obviously this is a mistake. But now

(11:32):
I've got to take my happy ass in Tampa early
and waiting a long assline, very excited about that. The
vacation is starting out just with a bang.

Speaker 4 (11:40):
Laurie wants me to know, Russ, it's Nora virus, virus,
not nor wal normal virus.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
Should go big horn out of here. I know that
it's funny to start. It's funny to say virus, and
that's what we're calling it from now on, big tom pun.
I don't name my baby baby norwal.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
Is.

Speaker 4 (12:00):
Imagine everybody get a horn grown on their head and
theirs not fun Yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
More clinical terms, Okay, don't not the hen ta virus,
but it's fun.

Speaker 5 (12:12):
I like to call it the doo dooo rat virus.
That's what the other one.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
I keep accidentally calling it the hen Tai virus, which
is Handi hen Ti, like the tattoo. That's first, that's
that's company's cartoon porn virus. And if you accidentally say
hand Tai virus out loud, people are like, what's up
with you? Yeah, they're looking at you knowingly. Hey, I

(12:36):
like big anime boobs. Not a problem. Mean, Samuel L.

Speaker 4 (12:39):
Jackson, did you do what a lot of people do?
I mean, I imagine you didn't. But where they take
their their scope or mouth wash or whatever, pour that
out and put liquor in there, and that way you
can pour that in your drink and you know, you
get extract you want to get on the cruise.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
I have done that many times. You have done that, oh,
I have, and I've never been able to wash out
the bottle enough to where it doesn't taste the little
bit like scope. So I have a lot of minty
vodka that a drink.

Speaker 4 (13:02):
Well, I did it one time and I felt like
such a I don't know, it's a dirt bag.

Speaker 2 (13:08):
I'm like, you can't afford to be on this cruise.
You shouldn't be here, you know. I just that's not
what it's about. It's about get one over on. It's
so expensive to drink on a crew. I got the
drink package this time, but I don't think I'm gonna
use it. Will no, because I'm not supposed to really
drink right now. Because of my muck. I gotta get
this cold. So why are you going on a cruise? Really?
Because I'm gonna just live my best life before I die.

(13:32):
That's really how it feels. So I'm not even gonna
be using the drink package, but I've stuck in. Like
what is embarrassing Russ is when they catch you in
the terminal. So I don't know if they still do it.
Used to be able to bring on like a package
of water. You can bring on water in and the
trick with that is like you know, you take out
some of the water in the middle and you push
it back in. They take a hair dryer to seal
the bag so like it's tight. Yeah, but I got

(13:55):
caught one time and they like cut open my water
case with a knife, like it with a cocaine brick,
and they start pulling out all the waters and because
if it's vodka, if you shake it, it bubbles up. Yeah,
So I'm just embarrassing. Like basically I did like the
middle school version of like I don't know that guy
in there. The rest of the the rest of the cruise,

(14:15):
everyone's like that's the dude, yeah, And there's like it's
in front of everybody too.

Speaker 4 (14:20):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
Somebody told me that you can get like a wine recorder,
so you can, like because you can bring two bottles
of wine on the cruise, so if you empty out
the wine you want's a little harder throwing some vodka
record that thing. But I'm not buying a wine recorder
because I'm cheap.

Speaker 3 (14:36):
I know.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
I did it that one time and it made me
feel bad about myself, and I'm like, I'm never doing
this again. I just like, I'll tell you that I
get the drink package every time now though, because I
don't like being surprised at the end of the trip. Yeah,
I had.

Speaker 4 (14:48):
I got the drink package last time, and Mary El
and I both where they cut us off, like okay,
you've You've had all you can have with the drink package.

Speaker 9 (14:55):
I'm like, we're done, Like yeah, like done for the
whole cruise. We're done for that the day, twelve the
day and drinks in a day.

Speaker 4 (15:03):
Yeah, I know, Like you guys aren't monsters. You don't
know what's up exactly, Like the twelve drinks. Do you
suppose if you started drinking a eleven, you know, by
six o'clock at night, you're already you're already done.

Speaker 2 (15:16):
Thank you to all the textures and said I can't
drink because I'm pregnant. Ah, hilarious, gotcha. All right, you're
listening to the max of the morning. Yeah yeah, Hey,

(15:40):
what come out of the Monster's one and Geordy on
one out four point one.

Speaker 5 (15:42):
It is a Thursday looking forward to the weekend.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
Looks looking for me some rain.

Speaker 4 (15:46):
At least where I was at it, it's like thirty
percent chance of rain this weekend, which is not bad.
We could use all the rain we can get.

Speaker 6 (15:52):
That rain yesterday was goofy oh, did you have something yesterday?

Speaker 2 (15:56):
Yeah, like off and on all day. And it turns
out if I needed it to start raining, all I
had to do was walk my dogs and I would
be about a halfway through my walk twice two times
yesterday and uh, the complete sunny day that I started
with at the beginning of that walk would turn into
torrential downpour. So that's that's the new secret. Guys. We
did a blanket of rain like that though that lasts

(16:18):
like a month. That's a way.

Speaker 8 (16:20):
Yeah, just but that that kind of rain though, where
it's you know, it's a steady coming down.

Speaker 2 (16:25):
Yeah, we get it today, you get it on Sunday.
It'll be good to all.

Speaker 4 (16:29):
My lakes are so low right now, like you can't
get from well you kind of can, but you scratch
the bottom of your boat and from canal to canal. Oh, yesterday,
so yesterday I wasn't I wasn't thrilled about it.

Speaker 5 (16:41):
Uh, but I had.

Speaker 4 (16:43):
I had my workout with Poppy d yesterday because he
called last minute and he's like, hey, I got an
opening if you want, you were want to come over
because I did go the day before and I did
do thirty minutes on you know, in the treadmill whatever
you know, got got sweaty or whatever. And then and
then yesterday was my workout with with and I you
know what, it pains me to say it, but you know,

(17:04):
once you get going, like getting in there sucks, you know,
the first part where you gotta do twenty minutes of
a cardio and then I don't, I don't like that.
But then once I got into the actual working out
with the weights with him, and he's really good at
what he does. Poppy's really good at what he does. Uh,
and uh it actually, uh, I noticed that my knee
stopped hurting and my ankle stopped hurting. I guess maybe

(17:26):
I got blood flow going in there.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
Whatever.

Speaker 4 (17:28):
Uh and and uh, you know, I started to actually
lifting some weights and stuff. I did notice halfway through.
I'm like, oh, I think I feel a little bit better,
which is I did not expect that. I wanted to
complain the entire time. Uh, but uh, but I did
feel better once I started to work out. But now
I got to go good today and I'm like, going, Okay,
I'm just looking forward to the fact, Okay, we'll probably

(17:48):
feel better after I get started.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
It's just getting started, right. Yeah. Sometimes for me that
the gym isn't the hard part. It's just putting on
the gym outfit. You know, I'm driving to the gym, Yeah,
that could be the hardest part. Like whats I'm in there?
I could yeah, Like like you said, I can get
moving and I'm going and I'm like, all right, let's
power through. And I'm like I'm almost done. Let's go.

Speaker 4 (18:09):
I'm doing the gimmick now where I come to work
in my workout clothes, right, so all I gotta do
is just drive over there, makes it easier, walk my
ass in there, and just and just started up with
the you know, a trainer does help, even though a
trainer's expensive.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
Yeah, you know, that's my thing. That's why I got
the trainer because I would always, like back in the
day when I was a workout guy, I would always
hit these plateaus and it would get very frustrated and
I would just do I would just live in that
plateau for like three months. And with this trainer, no plateaus,
in fact, hitting things a lot better and faster than
I ever have to. Totally worth the money, right, and like

(18:47):
it forces me to go there because I'm like, well,
I'm paying them. If I don't go, I'm just throwing
away money.

Speaker 4 (18:54):
Now, I will say this, as as I was getting
ready to walk out, he's like, now, you know, just
do me a favor. You just right down, you know
what you're eating because I kind of wanted just, you know,
just to help you out.

Speaker 5 (19:02):
I just want to know.

Speaker 4 (19:04):
And he's like, and I didn't need anything day, Like like,
I didn't have any breakfast yesterday.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
By the time I worked out with him, by what
was it, I meant him at noon?

Speaker 4 (19:12):
By one o'clock when he's asking me the questions, I
had not had anything all day and he's and he's like,
what you what are you having tonight? And I knew,
but I didn't answer him. I'm like, God, my wife
cooks for me. Yeah, I knew that Mary Ellen had
heard the story. Somebody, some listener centered the thing and said,
you have Russ said he had tacos from Taco Bell

(19:33):
and they were cold. Uh so she made fresh. She
was making fresh tacos yesterday. And I knew that, but
I didn't tell him, Which is that kind of like
lying to your doctor if you don't tell your trainer. Listen,
I know my wife's making tacos tonight.

Speaker 8 (19:47):
Well, I mean no, everything in moderation is okay. So like,
if you just had a couple of tacos for dinner, tacos?
Can you eat? Angel?

Speaker 5 (19:55):
How many is in moderation?

Speaker 2 (19:58):
Like three? Yeah, I mean two, three tacos.

Speaker 4 (20:01):
But if she made them special for me, right, and
she heated up a bunch of taco shells and she's
got a whole big thing of taco stuff. If I
just have three, it's almost like spitting in her face?

Speaker 8 (20:13):
Is this like the hot dog thing? You know that
you can do nine tacos and nine in the game.

Speaker 5 (20:18):
Okay, you said three is respectable?

Speaker 2 (20:20):
That Ryan said three?

Speaker 5 (20:22):
Okay, how many do you think I would? Can?

Speaker 4 (20:25):
I worked out hard? You know, in my mind, I'm like,
I just worked out hard. I deserve to treat myself.
And maybe it's just this is why I have a problem. No, no,
and maybe it's just me. I consider tacos healthy. Like
if you just do the meat meat, you have the corn,
the corn shells.

Speaker 8 (20:41):
Ones, that's where you and I would be different. But
then you put lettuce tomato.

Speaker 2 (20:46):
I don't know lettuce tomato.

Speaker 4 (20:48):
No no, I just put meat, cheese and sour cream
and then the taco sauce, taco sauce. It's like sauce.
They actually Taco bell. Taco sauce comes with the kid. Okay, yeah,
or their sauce. They got their sauce. So let me
let me think it's respectable. How many you think I had?

(21:08):
Because I felt bad? You know, like she went through
all the efforts. She went through the effort. She doesn't
need to eat them.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
She's doing this for you.

Speaker 4 (21:14):
She did it for me, especially for me because she
heard I had cold tacos.

Speaker 2 (21:17):
Right eat her tacos? Uh and uh no, you need
to have a conversation with your wife. How many would
you have? Ryan? But uh, three, three generally is what
I eat when my wife makes tacos. We got a
little taco holder thing, and there's always three in them.
I know that. Yeah, that was I would say, how
do you think I have? Okay?

Speaker 8 (21:36):
I would say, okay, I would eat probably four, right, right?
How many do I think you had?

Speaker 2 (21:42):
Six?

Speaker 5 (21:42):
Exactly?

Speaker 2 (21:45):
Mingo? They were so good?

Speaker 4 (21:48):
But you said, and I had worked out you know,
you know it's it's meat. Meat is protein.

Speaker 2 (21:53):
Two point sure, But you need to get your wife
on board if you're going to really do this, because like,
of course she's just gonna cook regular if if you don't.

Speaker 3 (22:01):
She is.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
The beautiful part of my My wife is like she's
got on this fitness journey with me at the same time, right,
and so she's like eats the food that I eat
and then forces me to then eat that said food
a lot of times as well. So that's super helpful
because I would cheat and eat all this bad stuff
if it was allowed to be in the house. You
got to look at it like you're a team together.
Why don't you get her to start, you know, exercising

(22:26):
with you.

Speaker 5 (22:26):
Nah, she don't see what she she won't do that.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
She don't even I'm not talking for weight loss or anything,
just for just general health and mobility.

Speaker 4 (22:33):
She's one of them people that don't believe in that.
She she doesn't. She don't want to do it, and
I had nothing to do with it. She doesn't want
to work out. She won't do it.

Speaker 2 (22:40):
I'd asked her, okay, but my wife's like that to
My wife had never worked out or exercised a day
in her life other than pee in high school. You
know what I mean? Yeah, she's not interested.

Speaker 4 (22:48):
And to make it even worse, when I say, hey, listen,
let's when you make healthy food or whatever, she's like,
you know what, why do we both have to suffer?

Speaker 5 (22:56):
She's like, she's.

Speaker 2 (22:57):
Like, I like you the way you are. I don't
want you to lose weight. You look wonder like.

Speaker 4 (23:00):
She says all that stuff, and I'm like, I should
you know doctor Oopla Potty wants me to lose weight?

Speaker 2 (23:05):
Uh? I mean, I I don't know. I'm not in
your relationship, so I don't know, but that I would say, like,
you think you'd want your partner to be on board
to do this and obviously it's for a good cause
because we're making that calendar. Baby, I haven't mentioned the
calendar to her. What's Poppy D like as a trainer
because he comes in here. He's very he's very animated,

(23:26):
very intense. Yeah, but he's one of those guys like
like when you see Onyx, Onyx is a literal body builder,
like he goes that route, Poppy D. I can always tell,
like that guy strong and he's healthy as hell.

Speaker 5 (23:36):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, and he's good, he's really good.

Speaker 4 (23:39):
We went you know, I don't know how to say it, like,
you know, we'd start low and he's like, okay, just
tell me between one and ten. Was that easy for you?
And like, yeah, that was too easy, you know, like okay,
then we pumped it up. No, no, no, he just did.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
He gave me the light waight for it? He didn't
he did. He didn't know where I was. And you
think you impressed him with your strength.

Speaker 4 (23:58):
You know what, it would be impossible not to. I'm
a strong dude. You're a strong, bendy man. Yeah, and
that was a nothing. You can't believe how flexible I
was because I'm a flexible guy.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
Well you got to stop doing that trick where you
put your legs behind your head.

Speaker 5 (24:14):
Why if I stopped.

Speaker 2 (24:17):
Lose this flexibility? Fair enough, I was thinking about you
the other day because like my dog bit my foot,
and if.

Speaker 5 (24:24):
Your dog you thought of me, I appreciate that well.

Speaker 2 (24:27):
Because okay, so and then she it was just right
after she ate that squirrel. So I'm like, okay, let
me wash my foot so I don't get some weird
squirrel infection or something. Right, So I go to put
my foot into my bathroom sink and Ryan Holmes is
not a bendy man, so I'm like trying to grab
my and I'm thinking about Russ, like, how is he
able to do this easily? I don't know. I've always

(24:47):
been flexible like that. I got to work on your
hip flexers.

Speaker 8 (24:50):
You can't lift your you foot up into the sink
and the kids in the bathroom and got there eventually.

Speaker 2 (24:54):
Yeah, it's uncomfortable. That's all hip flexures, buddy. You know
what I noticed in the g I haven't been in
the gym probably two years or whatever, and I probably
noticed it then, you know, back then.

Speaker 4 (25:02):
But I think he's even worse now. A lot of
people taking their selfies while they're working out.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
Oh my god, the cameras in the gym. Now cameras in.

Speaker 4 (25:09):
The gym allowed people video taping themselves, people taking pictures
of themselves.

Speaker 2 (25:14):
An you know, did you see that? You probably will
know the story of what they need to do.

Speaker 8 (25:18):
Ryan, I agree with you in the sense of, hey, listen,
if you're a because that's what the reason being is
that a bunch of these people think they're content creators, right, everybody,
everybody is. So that if you're if you're gonna do that,
and you're gonna do that in the gym, pick out
like three times a day, or give them windows. Hey,
these are the times that where where if you're a
content creator, you can come and do this and use.

Speaker 2 (25:37):
A camera because it doesn't really do any I mean
it does. I don't want to be in the background video.

Speaker 8 (25:43):
Yeah, there's that's that's a huge part of it. A
lot of people get upset with it because they're like
not not wanting to be a part of it, because
because there's the other part of that with that content
creation and you've seen it right where you're these people
are supposedly creating content, but they're actually trying to get
the people in the background to make fun of them. Yeah, okay,
but it's not nice for russ It's they're not making

(26:04):
fun of them in a nice way.

Speaker 5 (26:06):
Yeah, it's really meat spirited.

Speaker 4 (26:08):
I just thought of a couple of people I would
have made fun of it. So, right, did you hear this?
I thought about you when I saw this story. So
I did see people yesterday taking pictures and they're doing
the whole peace sign, you know, to themselves, and now allegedly.
I don't see how this can be allegedly. I saw
a story that if you, if you ever give the
peace sign in your promo or whatever, they now can

(26:30):
steal your fingerprints. Look it up. I'd like, I didn't
make this up. They were like, you shouldn't do the
peace sign or the bunny years behind somebody because now
they have invented away or come up with a way
to steal your fingerprints. Yeah, do it like that, I guess,
I said backwards. But if you do it this way,
I do not like this peace. Oh it's peace No.

Speaker 2 (26:54):
I mean yeah, I see that this can be technically done,
but like, like, what do you use your fingerprints for?

Speaker 4 (27:02):
I mean, fingerprints used to be the way that you
could you know your identity, you're not even thinking. So
now you can pull fingerprints of other people on the internet, right,
and then you do the latent thing and put them
on the tape. And then when you go into like
the bank and you steal the bricks, then you can
put those other fingerprints there. Boom, get away with this.

Speaker 2 (27:21):
Hey god, I think you guys would be shocked at
how like I know what we're talking like people catch
criminals with fingerprints? How in like inaccurate we've been We've
been sold a bill of goods on fingerprints. It's not accurate,
not as accurate as you think it is.

Speaker 4 (27:34):
What is you going back to the gym for a second?
The texting service checked in. What do you what do
you think about someone sitting on a piece of equipment
and they're scrolling.

Speaker 5 (27:42):
Through social media?

Speaker 2 (27:43):
Murder them?

Speaker 5 (27:44):
Yeah you can't do that, right, that's there's so much.

Speaker 4 (27:47):
But if you're waiting like you just did, Okay, I
just did twelve and I gotta wait, you know, thirty
seconds or whatever to rescue and a half time?

Speaker 5 (27:53):
Am I doing another twelve?

Speaker 2 (27:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (27:55):
So while you're sitting there, why can't you scroll?

Speaker 2 (27:58):
You have a minute and a half hops unless you're
like a super bodybuilder where you like need the five
minutes in between, Like, uh, you still have to be respectful.
I think, yeah, yeah, So in that minute though, you
think it's whatever you want to scroll. In that minute
and a half, you can do whatever you want. That's fine.
The second it goes into minute two, get out of here.

(28:19):
Time to go. I always have the problem my gym
where these guys like to and they're all huge, so
I can't say anything like I'm six ft four, two
hundred and twenty eight pounds right now. These guys to
me are huge, so like they do that and then
they and I've read that they they need this like
five minute rest. But the other thing that they do

(28:40):
is like they'll be on like two or three machines
at the same time. Oh really, They'll be like I'm
super setting bro, and I'm like, okay, how are you
gonna be And they'll be doing that for like thirty
five minutes sometimes and I can't get to like the
one thing that I need.

Speaker 5 (28:54):
I realize that.

Speaker 4 (28:54):
When I work out with Poppy D I'm gonna leave
my phone, which I never do this, probably leave my
phone in my car because I don't need it. It's
in my pants, which means it's sort of in the way.
I'm not gonna scroll these hands. Huh what no, no, no, no,
I don't need my phone in my pants. I don't
need so I'm gonna leave it in the car, which
feels weird to me. I don't know why, because I'm

(29:15):
just I used to have it with me all the time,
but I think today I'm leaving it in the car
because there's no use for it while I'm working out
with Poppy D.

Speaker 2 (29:21):
Yeah, because you're not gonna have headphones on. No, yeah,
so you really don't need it. Uh. For me, that's
the time, like the gym and the toilet, is when
I answer all my emails because during that rest time,
I was like, okay, I'll start doing like business, and
that makes me think like I'm getting too My brain
very much is a brain that goes like if I'm
doing two to three things at once, uh huh, that's better.

(29:43):
If I have to just do one thing, my brain
hates that. So if I can trick my brain and like, Okay,
we're going to the gym and we're also going to
answer emails and do like work stuff, social media stuff.
My brain goes cool. Yeah, I'm a one see you
and I are different.

Speaker 4 (29:56):
I'm a one thing at a time guy, and we
don't want to overboard overload my brain.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
Are you afraid though, that, like what's gonna happen to
what happened with Tree is gonna happen with Poppy D.
Maybe you find out something about him throw this working
out stuff.

Speaker 4 (30:12):
No, I don't believe I'll lose respect for Poppy D
that that's what happened with the other one.

Speaker 5 (30:15):
I was like the way I just.

Speaker 4 (30:19):
It was one poem, one poem, poems five poems for Angelique,
and I'm like, dude, you're a badass.

Speaker 5 (30:27):
How can you?

Speaker 4 (30:28):
And they couldn't even go ahead and talk to a girl.
I'm like, oh, I have like you lose a fat guy.
I could pick up every girl in this gym if
I wanted to, like, like, what are you doing?

Speaker 3 (30:37):
Man?

Speaker 5 (30:39):
Dude?

Speaker 2 (30:39):
It's all in attitude, you know it is. It's all
in attitude. H But I think he was a guy
that like, he doesn't work out to get girls. He
works out to like be healthy. Waste of time. All right,
So you're listening to the manch in the morning. Ye
he's great. As that we're great.

Speaker 1 (30:57):
I had bad decisions real radio one oh four point
one guaranteed human knocking off.

Speaker 4 (31:12):
Well fellas you got you got mentioned on TV yesterday anyway,
I tell you.

Speaker 8 (31:17):
My phone exploded and I was like, that must be
mean and Russ is doing this thing?

Speaker 2 (31:22):
Did it? Really didn't know?

Speaker 4 (31:24):
So because of something that happened yesterday, they invited me
to do two segments on the four oh seven, Yes
hot dog thing. What do you what do you think
that they had me come back on for it did
four o'clock and then so you got to stay for
four thirty. Uh, because of because of something you guys

(31:45):
talked about on the radio today? Was it your foot fetish?
It was no, nothing to do with nothing to do
with wine stomping.

Speaker 3 (31:52):
No.

Speaker 2 (31:53):
When Amy of the course psychoanalyzed the show, not that
you no, no, not that was great, great segment. No No,
all yelled at each other there ye go.

Speaker 5 (32:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (32:04):
So not only was it that they they had they
had Kendall, who's a producer who represent she also graduated
from u c F. And they had they had the segment.
I guess that whole that whole thing has gone national
with the professor talking, you know, doing a speech at
the commencement speech.

Speaker 2 (32:20):
And saying our segment right next to us.

Speaker 4 (32:22):
She brings up a I and everybody booze and you
know they heard us arguing about it. And so they
had me come back to uh to kind of rebut
or to go back and forth with Kendall. Uh and
I guess this is a this is a you know,
national thing. And from what mar Lisa Goldsmith said, she's awesome.

Speaker 2 (32:40):
She said that they've done you know, studies or whatever,
and that jeweler that older, the older.

Speaker 4 (32:45):
People seem to look at it from my point of view,
younger people look at it like from Kendall's point of
view or from what Ryan was saying. Uh and and uh.
So they asked me to come on to talk about it.
And I said, once again like I said yesterday, Yeah, Ai,
you know, I said, literally quote the great Rick Flair.
You may not like it, but you better learn to
love it because it's going to be here. You need
to to use it to your advantage, use it for yourself,

(33:08):
use it to do whatever you need to do to
advance yourself, because booing it you can.

Speaker 5 (33:13):
Do that you can complain about it.

Speaker 4 (33:15):
I guess you can give it all kinds of lip service,
but it ain't going anywhere.

Speaker 2 (33:20):
All that lip service, it ain't going anywhere.

Speaker 4 (33:22):
So, you know, it's just like back in the day,
my great great grandpa hated the fact that they were
going to have, you know, horseless carriages because it's going
to ruin the world. These these horseless carriages. You know,
they're the emissions are going to go into the you know,
they were going to the air, and how were you
gonna get all this gasoline? And you know it's gonna
be terrible. It's called progress, man. You either live with

(33:44):
it or it passes you by. And then all Kendall
said was and she's like, listen, I just you know,
if you're a graduate, it scares you that you have
to compete with AI. And that's why they all booed.
And then I guess there's a whole bunch of people
saying that, you know, like the people that that booed
should be ashamed of themselves for booing. I don't believe that.
I mean, if they don't like it, they can boo it.

(34:05):
That's fine, you know, But that's kind of where it's
falling is that they they disrespected suck it bye bye by.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
Booing teacher, whatever you put the position on.

Speaker 8 (34:17):
That is again you forget that like the fundamentals or
what the protest, there's something honorable in protests. And now
I might not agree with all protests and I might
not be down with it, but if there's but if
you do it in accordance to like, you're not hurting anyone, right,
and you're not you know again, you're That is the
time for graduates to be vocal because as she said

(34:38):
something else and everybody cheered, Yeah, no one would have
said that that's disrespectful.

Speaker 5 (34:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (34:42):
I don't feel it was disrespectful at all. I mean,
and I understand their booing, and I understand where you know,
like the Ryan was saying yesterday about the data centers
and how it is going to be tough on the
environment in some ways, and like I.

Speaker 2 (34:52):
Get all that.

Speaker 4 (34:54):
My only message was just like, hey, I understand that
all kind of does suck, but you you know, we're
all using it AI, whether you believe it or not,
you're using it when you get on your phone sometimes Ryan,
you've used it to make uh. I made that point
yesterday like Ryan has used it to make songs and
stuff like we all are using AI.

Speaker 5 (35:10):
So it's here.

Speaker 4 (35:11):
Either learn to live with it or or it will
pass you by or you won't know what's going on.
So and it's and I give you guys both a
shout out. And you, like I said when I say
your names.

Speaker 2 (35:22):
Yeah, I know, I don't want to be I want
to start my vacation nice. So I'm not gonna.

Speaker 8 (35:28):
Yeah conversations because again there's genuine passion and and and
and and concerned.

Speaker 2 (35:36):
With that and what they say. They said it was
an age gap gap thing. Though. I guess the same
way you don't care about Flushable wife is how I
feel like you view AI like you're not gonna be
here for it, so you don't care.

Speaker 5 (35:48):
That could be yeah, yeah, you might be right on that.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
I'm gonna have to be here theoretically. You know you're
at that. You know I've got at least another and
you're not that healthy.

Speaker 5 (36:00):
So really you're pregnant.

Speaker 2 (36:02):
Right, Well, I gotta watch out for my future my children,
don't I. So mar Lisa called Russ big and lazy.
She did, but that was about a different topic that
we were talking about. Door dash fees and like, do
you pay door dash fees?

Speaker 4 (36:15):
I'm like yeah, and she's like, why you can't just
get up and go to the store and get it.

Speaker 5 (36:19):
I'm like, I got McDonald's the other day from doing and.

Speaker 2 (36:22):
She's like, that's just lazy. I will pay, like I'll
get I'll do instacart at publics and I'm I do
it and it costs everything. Costs like a little bit
more if you do that, because that's where they gather
the groceries for you, and they bring it to service.
They bring it. But here's why, Well, if I go
into the grocery store, I will spend way more money

(36:43):
than if I use instacart.

Speaker 4 (36:45):
That's what Mary Ellen says. I like going into publics
and getting my stuff, but this, I hate it. One
of these topics was how people are getting into arguments
and it's breaking up marriages because of door dash and
because of these services. Because some people are like, hey,
that's a waste of money. You're lazy if you can't
just get up and go to the store. But I
told mar least, I said, listen, if I get home
and I'm watching a movie and I'm hungry, I don't

(37:05):
want to have to get up from the couch and
go put my clothes on and go to If I've
count a service that I can just pay to just
drop it off in fifteen minutes, why not use it? Well,
it's expensive and it makes it expensive for all of us.
I'm like, you know, that's classism.

Speaker 2 (37:19):
I got. I got to the point of my life
where I can afford it and I don't care. And
that's right and good for you. Good on it.

Speaker 8 (37:25):
Right.

Speaker 2 (37:25):
Not everyone could do that.

Speaker 4 (37:26):
Yeah, that's where she and she said her and her
husband argue about it, like he likes to use door
dash and.

Speaker 8 (37:32):
No, I could see, like I can see where like,
let's say you're you're an up and coming couple, right
and you're trying to build for the future and everything,
and then you got someone that's in the relationship that's
continually undermining that by going doing things that could be
in the moment seemed frivolous.

Speaker 4 (37:45):
Okay, there you go. You made a point of view
that you're right about that, and think about that. You're
right now puts a.

Speaker 8 (37:51):
Good point at that, But at that point that couple
as a unit hasn't gotten to where you've gotten to, right,
you've done your time, you know, so I could you
ar can see word?

Speaker 5 (38:01):
Yeah, I didn't think of it that way. You're right.

Speaker 4 (38:02):
So it's like, hey man, we're trying to we're trying
to get somewhere and save some money. And because she
said on her days of making dinner, sheeling like dinner,
and then on his days and this.

Speaker 5 (38:14):
Thing to her is, hey, you got to eat, then
you what do you worry? Well, yeah, but we had
to pay all these extra fees that were for nothing.

Speaker 2 (38:19):
That's not your business. That's how I look at it
to I have this conversation with my wife all the
time because she's like, well, we got into it about
something and she's like, I do a lot around here
and I'm like, I do a lot around here too.
Who do you think it's the yard and the pool
and like stuff like that. Then she's like, you don't
actually do that, and I'm like, but the work that
I do pays for that to be a thing, So

(38:41):
that is technically me doing that. I get to check
that tech box under my list of things. Yeah you
don't think so, because I do, because I if, but
she's not paying for it. There's stuff that like.

Speaker 8 (38:55):
But it's Okay, So is the argument is the argument
that you're physically doing these things, or is the argument
that you're getting these things are given me?

Speaker 2 (39:02):
Things are getting done because I'm doing something, gotcha right?
Like I like and that's when when when order food,
I do the same thing as mar Liza's husband order
food and she's like the other day, she's like, you
never cook, and I'm like, there's always food because I'm
constantly buying it.

Speaker 5 (39:16):
That's exactly what the argument that mar Lisa's husband.

Speaker 2 (39:19):
Yeah, how I provide for you shouldn't matter as long
as the food is there and your belly is full.

Speaker 5 (39:25):
How much extra does it cost though to have door
down a lot.

Speaker 2 (39:28):
A lot easily double ten bucks. It's double whatever you
would normally pay.

Speaker 5 (39:33):
Oh that's what she said.

Speaker 4 (39:34):
I thought she was a goofing on me because she's like,
she's like, well, if if the food was forty bucks,
it ends up being like sixty five seventy. I'm like, oh,
that's not true. She's like, she's like, do you check
your receipt? I'm like, no, I just pay it, eat
my food.

Speaker 2 (39:47):
There are times where like I will get a meal
and I'll know what it costs exactly, Like, because we
cut a baba's a lot right now, how much costs.
So I'll get it from Uber It's literally double and
a lot of times I'll just go get it, yeah,
because if you order, I think it's still the same
it was last time I checked. If you you can
use Uber Eats to do the to go order, yeah,

(40:09):
and if you go pick it up, you don't get
hit with those up charges. So I'll do that a lot.
Going back to the AI thing with the.

Speaker 4 (40:17):
Had a question for you, if those you see have
students that were boeing had used AI within that time,
is that hypocritical for them to be boeing if they've
used the AI and the most probably ninety percent of
them had, is it hypocritical?

Speaker 2 (40:31):
Again? No, Because like I can be against the thing,
I'm also very much against this weird car economy that
we have in the United States where everything is required
to have a car to go somewhere, but like I
still have to use my car, you know what I mean.
Like I feel like AI is forced upon me. I'll
use it when I have to sometimes It's there's a
very fun part to AI as well, But what is
going to be ultimately implemented. Isn't gonna be fun.

Speaker 4 (40:55):
Oh we got to talk about China car too. That yesterday, Angel,
we talked about it offline. I want to talk about
with the China car. Okay, all right?

Speaker 2 (41:01):
That feels like you just yelled something righteous.

Speaker 5 (41:04):
