Speaker 4 (01:34):
Paunch of sports action happening last night. Did you guys
watch any of the play in game tournaments?
Speaker 1 (01:42):
An exciting game last night was between the Heat and
the Hornets.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
The Heat and the Charlotte Hornets and some drama rush
with some controversy and drama. Uh so, ultimately the Hornets
wine and shocking fashion even though they were the home
team twenty six in overtime. A couple of things that
happened here that it's controversial. First of all, LaMelo ball
(02:12):
in a very crucial part of the game, he falls
to the ground, he gets hit in the head, falls
to the ground, and then there's Bam out of Bayu.
Bam out of Bayo is the guy that scored like
a million points the other day. He's he is one
of the Miami Heats like he is their centerpiece. He
is their their their their guy. Right so at a
crucial part of the first in the first part of
(02:33):
the game again. This game is fast paced. A lot
of three is going down and you need the heat.
Need that guy right, either for defensive purposes interior presence
exchange happens on the baseline. LaMelo Ball falls on the ground.
He says, he gets hitting the head, and the visually
see if you can grab this, Ryan, Yeah, yeah, it
looks the visual it looks like that little old Lamello
(02:56):
Ball grabs big old Bam to buy who's by the
ankle and makes him fall on the ground. Bam falls
on the ground right directly on his buttocks on and
he's out of the game for He's out of the
game for the rest of the game. Oh yeah, right
to see him do that.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Yeah yeah, when a guy that big hits the ground.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
You can't sweep him like that.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Man.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
Like the angle makes it hard to tell or not.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Yeah, there's a reverse angle. There's another angle, Ryan from
the baseline.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Side of it.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
And I gotta say, look, I have nothing invested in this.
I gotta say it's I don't think.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
That oh he scoops.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
I don't know. I feel like it was just a
momentumized like I don't know if if he does I.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Don't think it was on purpose. Henna.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
He apologize game and everything, but again we'll see.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Uh. Someone says that the second time he tripped him
the season.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Is that accurate that LaMelo Ball tripped Bam. Yeah, if
that's what they're saying. Again, I don't follow either one
of the teams. And then there was a controversy with
him pulling a Bam out about you now, So that's
where a lot of the drama from last night's get
Oh and then the bigger drama is this now, this
little play in tournament, the only place that you can
(04:15):
watch this play in tournament is on Amazon Prime. So
last night, in the crunch time of this game, right
the last the final two minutes of overtime, they lost
the transmission. Oh no, Amazon Prime Video experience a major
two minute outage during the final minute of overtime in
the twenty twenty six Keet Hornets NBA playoff play in game,
(04:36):
the feed way dark for many viewers with forty eight
point one seconds left and just returned with twenty six
seconds left, missing crucial game action. Amazon sited a hardware
failure in the production truck. Who gets fired?
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Ryan?
Speaker 1 (04:51):
So somebody gets fired who's hard drive was and that
wasn't working.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
I do not know, but that is a big deal.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
That is huge.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
He I'm getting a lot of people and this is
what I heard this morning. So that's why I'm not
arguing with you. But I heard this morning that if
we win tonight, we play the Celtics.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
And that's what a lot of people are saying.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
If we win tonight, we go to the playoffs against
the Celtics. If we lose, we go to play the
Hornets in Orlando. That's what I heard. Whatever other sports
thing we play on the air, that's what they were saying.
But you're saying that's not accurate.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
If we win, we don't play the Celtics.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
I'm trying to figure out the logic there, because then
what happened. So then the Hornets won last night for nothing,
Because right now I'm looking at the calendar. Hornets to
to be determined play a game on Friday, April seventeenth,
Suns play.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Yeah, yeah, they would play. If if Orlando loses, then
they play Orlando. But yeah, that's what they said on
the radio, That's what they said earlier.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
So then the fact that the Hornets just won this
game so they don't do anything.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Yeah, they played they get a chance to play the
loser from from tonight that they would play Orlando.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Okay, I see what you're saying in reverse. So if
we win, we go we we played, we would play.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
The Celtics, the Celtics, and if we're in the seventy
six ers.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
And the and the and the Hornets would have to
play that game on Friday.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Correct, got it.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Yeah, I've read three different breakdowns and I'm still confused.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
And I literally don't know. I just heard. That's what
they said this morning. They made it pretty simple.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
They said, if the Magic win, we play the Celtics.
If the Magic lose, we play I think it was
the Hornets or somebody. Uh, so we still have a
chance to get in. But this playoff, obviously, this play
in tournament is confusing for It was even confusing for
bo Outlaw yesterday, like you said, and they sent paperwork
in to try to fix this.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
And this whole system was put in place in theory
to like stop teams from tanking.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
But it did work.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
So stop it, right.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
I don't like it. I don't I've watched.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Three different breakdowns on video and I'm and reading it
makes even less sense to me.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
So back at and that guy hate your banner. He's
a jerk, all right.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
So regardless of any of all the things, the Orlando
Magic are at the Philadelphia tonight and hopefully they win,
and then we can continue to have this play in
tournament argument as we continue to go forward. Major League
Baseball action going on tonight. We've got the Pirates versus
the Nationals, Yankees and Angels, Marlins in the Braves today
(07:30):
and the Rays and the White Sox today, so we
got that going on. We're down to the last couple
of days of the NHL season RUSS, and then the
playoffs start this weekend for the NHL, so keep an
eye on that. We've got some great NHL action happening
starting over the weekend. And then today Orlando City plays
FC Naples in the US Open Cup. That's going to
(07:50):
be at seven o'clock. So definitely get out and support
our team in Cigar in regards to that tournament. Hopefully,
you know, again, this would be what those cool things
that they get some momentum and uh that would continue
on to the regular season. Inner Miami, some big news
down in Inner Miami. Javier Maschonio is stepping down to
(08:12):
personal reasons just four months after leading Miami to the
first MS title, and he took his whole staff with him,
So the whole entire staff stepped away from Miami, and
Matt Crocker is stepping down from the Saudi Arabian Federation
as well. So we'll see what happens with with Miami
and how they respond to that and how they who
(08:34):
they get to fill in for them, and that is
Monster Sports.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
All right, We're about to do something and I do
not know how it's gonna turn out. This is a
complete uh throw it against the wall and see what happens.
And you know what, I'm gonna wait and set it
up in the next segment. I'll tell you what this is.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
This is.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
If I go explain everything now, then it'll let me
just just hold on. We're about to do so then
I don't know how it's going to turn out. So
I'll tell you what that is when we come back.
Don't go anywhere. You're listening to the Manch of the Morning,
(09:17):
all right, welcome back Monsters Mornings for Radio one oh
four point one.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Let me tell you what happened. This is this true story.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Okay, as you know, I just got a new vehicle, right,
I just got the new I love it, by the way,
the HUMMERDV truck commerdible, you know, absolutely awesome. But it's
got new features in it, and it doesn't have car play.
It's got Google, you know, the the Google interface thing angel.
So so yeah, yeah, So I'm driving home and I
(09:51):
get a phone call. Now everything's different than it used
to be with my other vehicle, right, so I'm getting
used to the new technology that's in this new vehicle,
and then somebody's calling me. I'm going somebody's calling me,
and it's not saying who it is. So I'm like,
I just pick it up, you know, I just hit
the button and I'm like, hey, hello, and and it's
it's a voice that I don't recognize, and and and
(10:11):
it's a guy and he's like, hey, my name is
Big Country. And I was told that that you are
a guy that gives people opportunities. I know that you
gave a young lady that I've never met her before,
but Savannah Savino, you gave her an opportunity.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
And she's a.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Singer, and you've given other singers opportunities and I'm just
a struggling singer that I'm just doing everything I can
and trying to make it happen. And I was just
told that you're a guy that sometimes gives people opportunities.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
And I'm like, first, I'm like, how did you get
my numb Why did you get my number? Who's it?
And look? And I guess.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Somehow, and I got to figure out how to block it. Uh,
And I've I've ignored these before. But some people can
call you on Facebook.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Ye. Now, I didn't know that, and I didn't I would.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Yeah, we we had, we had a whole story where
someone uh sent.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
You something on a long long time You're right, yah, yeah,
but I didn't really.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
I thought i'd blocked all that. I didn't know someone
could just randomly call me on Facebook.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
On any of your social media platforms. Yeah, they all
have the capability to reach out and call you.
Speaker 3 (11:12):

to make it. Uh.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
And he told me some other things that what's going
on in his life and and he's got to single
out and and and and and and then I started
listening to him and I'm like, oh, he sounds like
a nice guy.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
And then he starts telling me about how he had,
you know, had addiction issues and he's gone through the
addiction and he wants to help people get over addiction.
And and he's got a whole thing going on. And
he's gonna be singing the national anthem. I believe it's

The storm? And he's gonna be saying. I'm like, okay,
but it's probably next weekend. Something on the road again,
okay something.

And then you know, it's so so I didn't hear
from him.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
He didn't text me, I didn't get a text f him,
so I didn't think he was gonna be here. And
then I just got a call at eight o'clock and
he called me once again on Facebook, said hey, I
tried to text you but it wouldn't go through. You
know I'm here, so I'm gonna bring this guy in
and we'll see.

Look, we're gonna see how this goes.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
He was very Look, it was very Just talking to
him on the phone was inspirational. I never pick up
the phone, and in my mind I was thinking, well,
maybe this was a meant to be thing.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
So let's go bring in a big country.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Is his name, Big Country with a K, and he's

Speaker 1 (12:57):

whatever reason, I didn't get any text, So I didn't
know if you're actually gonna make it or what was
going on?
Speaker 3 (13:07):
But we'll sit you. We'll sit you down here and
get you some headphones.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
On and uh and so first off, like, how did
you even know the call on Facebook? I don't even
know how that works. I normally don't answer the phone,
just so you know, big country. So I talked into
the mic.
Speaker 6 (13:20):
Care I got an animated message back when I wrote
one on four point one the other day, like a
week ago, and I had my Facebook got suspended yesterday
and I've got a huge following right now, so I
was really upset about it. So when I got it back,
I appeeled it and got it back. When I went
to look at it, I went through through my messages
try and find out what was going on. The message
was there, and I said, let me look at it.
(13:40):
No mere response. And there was a little phone emblem
in the top right corner, and I hit that phone
and something told me to hit it, and it just
called me, and it called you what the hell? Okay,
everything happens for a reason. My whole journey's been about
everything happening for a reason. I feel like I speak
a lot of things into existence. My dreams are coming
true and that's all because I've changed my life.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Okay, all right, So you told me that, and I'm like, okay, well,
it sounds like an interesting story. You're from Bifflow, You're
born and raised blow. I was born in Maryland but
raised in Bielo Grave. And you're a singer, yes, sir uh.
And and you said that you were starting some sort
of what was it, You're starting an organization or something.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
I'm trying.
Speaker 6 (14:16):
And Bithlow is where I used to do all my
negative behaviors.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
So a little let's start with that. What kind of
negative behaviors did you do?
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Big Country?
Speaker 1 (14:25):
So?
Speaker 6 (14:25):
I mean from from cocaine to methamphetamine. I mean, I
mean anything and everything. And and I didn't know how
to get away from it in Blo.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
So Biflow, you can get cocaine, you can get a myth.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
Really, I had not heard that.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
What other? I mean? It ended It ended me up
in prison. Crack. Did you ever do crack? You did crack? Oh?
How was that horrible? Yeah? Great? Heroin? Did you ever
do Heroin?
Speaker 7 (14:50):
No?
Speaker 3 (14:51):
No?
Speaker 1 (14:51):
No?
Speaker 3 (14:51):
So you got arrested. What were you arrested for?
Speaker 6 (14:54):
I have burglary of an occupied dwelling and a couple
of v O PEA charges. Nothing, nothing, drugs. What's what's VOP?
I don't know what that is? Violation of probation? Oh okay,
all right. So being able to pass a drug test, gotcha.
Not being able to change my life when I needed to.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
So how old were you when you went to jail
for the first time? The first time?
Speaker 6 (15:11):
I was twenty to twenty two, but it was it
was a serious charge. I mean, I was looking at
ten years in prison.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
At that age twenty two? You going, were you big then?
Because you're a big guy yesterday. I played football my
whole life. Yeah, okay, all right? Where'd you play football?
Speaker 3 (15:26):
University? High school? Okay, all right?
Speaker 6 (15:28):
I broke my knee in my senior year and I
lost a lot of opportunities and I got that's when
pain pills came into my life, gotcha, And that started
a very negative downfall.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
And it happens for a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
They start with the pain pills because of something that
that you know, injury or whatever, and then it kind
of goes it goes out. If you don't mind me asking,
you are a big fellow. How much you're weighing right now?
Probably about three eighty. Yeah, yeah, big, I was for sixty.
I've been working on it. I had diabetes. I might
still have. My one sees dropped like ten points.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (15:56):
So I'm working on everything, man, my health, my life,
my visions, my everything.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
So you get you get arrested, you go into present
and obviously you you don't like you don't like prison.
When you get out, what makes you go?
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (16:09):
I gotta turn this whole around because yesterday you mentioned
jelly Roll, right.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Yes, sir, was that an inspiration for you more than anything?
Speaker 6 (16:17):
So he came from more of a rap error and
I'm more of a country singer. So I feel like
if we were to combine together, we could make the
movement happen. There could be huge change in this world,
which it needs. The drug epidemic and everything that's going
on in the world is really sad and it could
be stopped because a.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Lot of people say, you know, when you when you
get off drugs, it's it's it's really hard, like you know,
as far as the uh you know, uh detox and
all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Was that difficult for you?
Speaker 6 (16:46):
It wasn't for me, because I mean I I was
forced to do it. I mean, I was sent to jail.
In prison, you know you can't, there's no way around it.
You're you're you're getting sober. So but that was the
best thing that ever happened to me. I went to
Seminole County Jail, and uh, I knew that when I
was there. I wanted to change that time. So I
did a program called Accepting Change through Treatment, and I
absolutely loved it. I've talked to him about going back
(17:07):
and sharing, just rating and waiting on a response back.
So like, I'm trying to get anywhere, neverwhere, sharing that
message wherever I've been.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Yeah, you were listen.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Normally I would have just hung up on you yesterday,
but after speaking to you, I was like, I sings
on a nice guy and he's got a good a
good message. It seems as if you know, for I
don't know you. I never never met you before. How
long have you been singing?
Speaker 6 (17:28):
I have my aunt has a video of me singing
when I was like five or six years old on
a on a fireplace to my whole family.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
Edwin McCain and I'll be okay, all right, do you
do you write your own stuff?
Speaker 6 (17:38):
Or yes, sir, I right now I'm in between a
rock and a hard place. I've got books of lyrics
and songs written for a while while I did time,
but I don't have I don't play an instrument, and
I don't have them funding to keep buying beats. I
have one song out that I just put out, but
it's I have plenty more to put out.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
And I mean I'm just waiting on the on the
right time.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
Right right right in his all country, yes, but I
mean it goes from like country rock. It's not like
sad country. It's it's more a country with a beat
and music about change. I mean there's even a little
bit of country rapping there that's more of a speaking.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Yeah, you speak a lot.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
I went talking to yesterday and also today, you talking
about helping people change. Why why do you feel that's
on your on your shoulders? I mean, why why do
you feel like helping other people is something that is
important to you?
Speaker 6 (18:25):
Well, when I was in my bad days of ripping
and running, you know, I want it out, but there
was no out where I was living, and there still
isn't it out for people that want they want to change,
you know, and there's no like yesterday, I had a
meeting in Bethelo Park and I sat there an hour
after the meeting with the guy that showed up five
minutes before it was supposed to end, and he was like, look,
I just need a vent And I talked to him
(18:45):
for an hour. He was almost about to cry, and
he walked away smile and bigger than I've ever seen
him smile. And it's just that those moments and that
that helping others, It just it keeps me going, and
it's what drives me.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
You know.
Speaker 6 (18:54):
I know that there's people that need help out there,
to people that want to change, and maybe they don't
know how, or maybe they don't need a little guidance,
whatever it may be.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
So what was Big Country do for a living? Right now?
I'm gonna stay at home, dad.
Speaker 6 (19:05):
My wife's the bread winter huh, So she uh makes
more money than I doing. And it was she's letting
me focus on music and helping others. Her mom has
some mental things going on, so I take her to
doctor's appointments, take my kids just to and from school,
watch our newborn baby, and uh pretty much take care
of responsibilities around their community and health and help everybody
I can.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Okay, uh uh is there anything that because we didn't.
I wasn't prepared. This was last second. I said, what
the hell, come on in, let's give it a shot.
Let's see what happens. H are you can you do
anything a cappella?
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Yes, sir, do you mind? No, no at all. Just
see make sure it's clean, dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's
got to be clean. Yeah you can't.
Speaker 6 (19:41):
Can't curse. Got him down here on my knees because
he is the last Please late the fall, begging.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
For the chance.
Speaker 6 (19:53):
If there's any chains at all that you mind, still
be listening, love and forgiving guys like me, and I've
spent my whole life getting in all wrong. I sure
could use your hell from now. I want to be
(20:18):
a good man. I do like I shouldn't. Man, I
want to be the con man the mirror likes to see.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
I want to be a strong man, and it me did.
I was wrong.
Speaker 6 (20:33):
Man, God, I'm asking you to come change me into
the man I want to be.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
You got a great voice. You gotta really nervous some shit. Yeah,
well we're gonna don't be nervous. Listen just like you
said yesterday, Like man, you couldn't believe I answered the phone.
You couldn't believe. I said, yes, come on in. I'm like,
what the hell, will see what happens. And then you
as before you hung up, you said, oh, by the way,
I'm gonna be singing somewhere this weekend.
Speaker 6 (20:58):
Where is it you're singing this weekend? The tour Destruction.
I got to give a huge shout to them giving
me the opportunity. I'm singing the national anthem in front
of their whole sold out crowd.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
I think they're sold out. I'm not sure, but they're
about there. So oh I thought it was a football game.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
No, it's it's it's the Tour Destruction that's out of
Bifflow Speed World, in Speed World where they do that,
and they invited you to sing the national lamp.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Yes, sir, well that's very cool. Okay.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
So now, and like I don't I didn't know what
I do, how I could help you or whatever. I
could come in, we'll interview you, or we'll talk to you.
Do you have any social media or anything like that? Like,
what what is it that you're wanting people to to
do to be able to help your career?
Speaker 6 (21:30):
So right now I have to focus on Big Country,
because then if I focus on Big Country, I can
I can help others in the community. I can get
the sober living house I have planned for. I mean,
I'm working with a bunch of community outreach programs that
help homeless people, that help, that are willing to help.
It just needs to be all put in place and
(21:50):
puzzle pieces fixed in and but for right now, I mean,
Mike stamps on Facebook, big Country singer Songwriter Facebook, and
then that's that's okay, that's it.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Another wrong with that, that's fine. Hey, So the time,
how long did you have Let's we'll call it a
drug problem. How long was the drug problem?
Speaker 6 (22:09):
I mean when I got into pain pills after high school,
I was probably went about three or four years of that,
and then I got sober for probably eight years, and
then I split up with a woman I was with
for ten years and didn't know how to take that
relapse and went right back out. That's how I mean,
Just like that, it doesn't matter how much sobriety you have.
If you don't work a program, you can go right
back out.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
So when you started doing the drugs again and you
started to get into it, what stopped you was being arrested, Yes, sir, yeah,
so kind of a blessing, yes.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Sir, definitely. And then I got out.
Speaker 6 (22:40):
After I finished the program and I maintained the sobriety,
I became a manager at a sober living house in Daytona.
I went to Sober Solutions by the Sea in daytona
great program as well as Fine Sober Living there. They're
great programs. And I became a manager at find Sober Living.
And then when I left there, I had violated probation
for going to I had an ankle monitor on community
(23:02):
control and the judge violated me because she was just
tired of seeing me. But it was checkers, I mean hungry,
yeah man, yeah, but it I met a lot of
people there. It was a culture shock in prison. You know,
I'm from Bithelo. I didn't see a lot. I've never
seen some of the things that go on in prison,
the gangs, the violence, the how bad was it was bad?
(23:23):
People try to fight you and you're a big guy.
Did they try to fight you?
Speaker 2 (23:25):
No?
Speaker 6 (23:25):
They wanted me on their side, all right. But the
corruption with the guards and then the system. There's no
corrections and corrections facility anymore. It's really bad?
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Is it really bad?
Speaker 1 (23:34):
So you couldn't wait to get out of there? And
when you got out of there, you're like, I'm turning
my life around.
Speaker 6 (23:38):
Yeah, I mean I brought a lot of positivity there.
I ran meetings in prison, I sang in prison, I
did the National anthem, and I ran groups.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (23:44):
I got thirty two certificates in three years in prison
on different programs and classes and everything from first aid
to carpentry.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
So okay, five years from nowhere, where would you want
to see big Country?
Speaker 3 (23:56):
And to you, what is making it?
Speaker 6 (23:59):
Well, I've just partner with Rush Entertainment and they're willing
to back me one hundred percent. They love my story,
they love my voice. I went and auditioned for them
at Old Town and they've been on my had me
on their back ever since.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
So they love my they want me all over. Just
the funding's not there.
Speaker 6 (24:15):
We're looking for partnerships and sponsorships that are going to
get me to Nashville.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Hey, what do you say to people I'm looking at
Texas everything. Oh, he's trying to copy jelly roll. What
do you say to people that say, oh, you're just
trying to copy jelly Roll?
Speaker 6 (24:26):
Well, jelly roll came from rapping. I'm a country singer.
I can sing any any nineties country song there is
and make it sound real good. And he can rap
any nineties country song there is. But together we can
change the world.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Yeah, So you don't take that as a as a
you're not offended by that. Yeah, this is your journey.
It's different, it's separate. And you're coming from Biffalow, Florida,
which is.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Uh, we all know where Bifflow is. They have the
nightmare before Christmas.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
That's it, all right that before you leave, I want
to make sure that you know how to text me
because because you were because you you just said you tried,
it wouldn't go through. Yeah, we're gonna figure that out.
Uh and uh, you know, good li to you once again.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Get about to give out your social media information again.
But I got people texting in and they're trying to
find you on Facebook as we speak.
Speaker 6 (25:05):
Okay, it's Mike Stamps Facebook, Mike Stamps and then big
country singer songwriter also on Facebook. I just don't get
as much attention on there as as I do the
Mike Stamp spage. So if you go to Mike Stamps
it'll take you to Big Country too, right, Yes, yeah,
So it's m I K E S T A M
P S.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Yes.
Speaker 6 (25:22):
And then on YouTube, I have a song out it's
called better Man. It's from Big Country four oh seven.
So if you guys want to check it out, it's
I had to do the cheap way to get it
mixing mastered, so it's not exactly perfect. Their lyrics are there,
but the beats off a little bit.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
All right.
Speaker 6 (25:39):
It's it's there, and if anybody wants to work with
me on it. How rebilitated are you?
Speaker 3 (25:43):
I mean you're not. You're not. No more breaking it
ery right, no more of that, all right?
Speaker 6 (25:48):
Come actually six years clean and I'm out of prison
for almost almost two years.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Because i'd have to talk to him.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
But I know someone that that might be willing to
help you record a song in a professional studio.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
I'd be, uh, I just met you.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
I don't know, like you know, I could be you know,
uh uh partnering with a felon that that's gonna end
up killing me.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
I don't know. But but you seem you seem like.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
A good guy, and you seem like you got a
good heart, and I'd love to see you.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
I'd love to see you make it. Make a cool
song about it, though, you better make a cool song. Man.
That time I killed a radio dude. He didn't know
what he was sitting loose.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
But well, Big Country, nice meeting you in the breakwise,
we'll figure out how to We'll figure out the talking
for you.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Huh. Oh look a Big Country T shirt. Look at that?
Speaker 5 (26:34):
Hey you go nice.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
You even got shirts. Oh that's that's cool looking shirt too.
I like that dream. He's got fire around him. Dream big,
man around it's got fire. I dream big all the time.
Speaker 6 (26:45):
I feel like I can speak it into existence and
with a team, with a with a good solid background
and a footing. With a team, I feel like I
can get wherever I want to go.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
All right, man, well I hope you can. That sounds great.
All right, Big Country, thanks for coming in, buddy, Thank you.
All right, Well take a little break crime back, we'll
talk to friendly Ray Trentley.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
You don't go anywhere. You're listening to the March of
the Morning. Well, I liked him. I didn't know how
that was going to turn out.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
That was a random phone call that came to uh,
that came.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
To my.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
I don't know how people call him Facebook. I thought
I blocked all that.
Speaker 7 (27:25):
I thought I did too. And then when he called
and I even told me, oh, he called me yesterday
and he called me this morning. I don't know who
this is, so I'm not answering. And I told him
on the walkout, I said, hey, man, sorry, I don't
answer phone calls from there. I didn't even know it
could come through my phone like that. Like you, I
thought I had blocked all of that.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
I did too. I wish that will be happening.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Maybe that was one of those things that with all
my wage, with all these updates that happens on your programs,
on your phones and everything, sometimes you have to go
back and redo that.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Yeah, well maybe that was meant to happen to help
the guy out.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
You know, he said, like a nice guy.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
He's trying to turn his life around, very respectful. I
thought he could sing very well for country music that
you know, they sounded great.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Uh so, uh yeah, did you did you hear any
of that? Ray? I did.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
I was listening on the iHeartRadio app. Yeah, and uh
he is a he's got a good story.
Speaker 5 (28:13):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Yeah, it is a lot of people are like, Oh,
he's trying to be jelly Roll. But I mean, if
you've been arrested and you're trying to turn your life around,
I mean, it's a it is a similar story.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
But I mean whatever, I do feel bad. First thing
I asked him was did jelly Roll inspire him? And
he's like, everybody asked me that question.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Uh, but he did kind of talk about the country
music difference.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
But you know what, here's what I'll say.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
I think a lot of people get mad and say, oh,
you're you're being inspired by this person.
Speaker 5 (28:38):
You're trying to copy that person.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
But we're all just trying to come up with their
own little variation of something that has happened already.
Speaker 5 (28:44):
Yeah, and you.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Know, I think jally Roll also has a great story,
So you know, good for him. I hope, I hope
it all works out for him.
Speaker 5 (28:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
And he's got he's got some hustle. That's one thing. Yeah,
he does us. I like that for sure.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
That's how you've been, man, I've been.
Speaker 5 (28:59):
I've been well. I've been.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
I was in mediation back to back yesterday in the
day before. I don't I don't do much. I don't
associally do much lawyering. I don't do much of that
kind of lawyering. Most of what I do is usually
in the courtroom these days. But I had a couple
of cases that I've been trying to wrap up for
some friends, and so I was in back to back
mediation Monday and Tuesday. Got two cases resolved. So I'm good.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
I like.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
I like it when I feel like I'm able to win,
and normally when I walk into mediation, it's hard because
like you're talking about compromise.
Speaker 5 (29:31):
Right, I crushed both those mediations.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
The lawyer yesterday was it was like four forty five
and I had my daughter had a music thing at school.
I was like, I've got a hard stop at five
point fifteen. It was like four forty five. The lawyers,
whatever you want to add to the contract, just add it.
And I was like, okay, uh so we added what
I wanted that I signed it, and I was like,
you're a bad lawyer.
Speaker 5 (29:54):
I just crushed you.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
So you know what, that might be my money favorite thing.
It's crushing somebody's spirit at the end of mediation, as
long as it's not my client.
Speaker 5 (30:06):
You know, my client.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
Do you feel like you're good at mediation. That's a
that's you're you.
Speaker 5 (30:11):
Know what I am.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
I think that if everybody walks into mediation prepared, I
can come up with really creative solutions that solve any problem.
I hate when people walk into mediation unprepared. They never
talk to their clients, they haven't set any expectations. That
that's the most probably mentally and physically draining thing that
I do as a lawyer. So you know, I tell
(30:36):
people I think my skill set is best for the
courtroom because it doesn't matter if the other side is
prepared or not.
Speaker 5 (30:42):
We've got our mission, we've got our plan. We're going
to execute flawlessly.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
But in mediation, the man in charge absolutely, yeah, I'm
going to talk to you about that. So this is
this is adjacent. It's not the same as what you're
talking about, because mediation. Mediation is sort of like uh,
talking to people on a committee.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
Right.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
I am so bad at being on a committee of people.
And I got to talk today to these these Ryan
the Ryan Kahn people, the Ryan thing and and the
one being the one Ryan talking is great. I've come
up with idea. Oh that's a great idea, And like
you know, I kind of like we can run with
it and we can make it.
Speaker 4 (31:23):
This But is he really great or is he just
acquiescing to you?
Speaker 3 (31:26):
Yes? Yeah, which great?
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Yeah, because I know what I'm doing, Angel, But I
believe it or not when it comes to events like this,
I know what I'm doing.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
But so we warned that. We warned this guy last
time he was at the hotel. Guys like you do,
You're you're about to lose your event. Are you prepared
for that?
Speaker 1 (31:42):
No? Or your event is actually going to be successful
because you got the man who knows how to make
it happen. You can look at it that way too.
But now I got to talk to a committee of
Ryan's today, and the last time I talked to a
committee of Ryan's, everybody's got a pin and you get nowhere, right,
everybody's got to have an opinion and this and that.
And I am so bad at a committee of people
(32:04):
because it's like, you got something stupid.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
People like have dumb ideas. They worry about stuffification.
Speaker 4 (32:10):
That's so don't say.
Speaker 5 (32:12):
Well, I'm telling Ray that is a private conversation.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
You guys. Yes, guys, I'm trying to get advice from Ray.
Speaker 5 (32:17):
This is a private conversation.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
What do you do when you're.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Talking to a committee of people and you know they
don't know what the hell they're talking about, uh, and
you know how it should be done.
Speaker 5 (32:25):
So I'll tell you here. This is a secret.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Okay, okay, but this is like nine out of ten
it works every time.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
Okay, good, good, Yeah. I need this so.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Whenever I have a situation like that and I want
to be able to control the room.
Speaker 5 (32:38):
But I don't want to seem like I'm controlling the room.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
I want to control the room, and write that down.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
The first thing I The first thing I do is
I I and you can use chat GPT for this.
Speaker 5 (32:48):
Just talk to your phone and have chat GPT.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Put it together, create an agenda for exactly how the
meeting is going to go. And you're gonna says, hey, listen, guys,
I want to have the most productive meeting possible. So
what I did is I put together in a jet
I want to have open for opening comments, and then
here's the five things I want to accomplish, and then
we're gonna have a conclusion. Anybody wants to any feedback,
We'll have a conclusion, and then we'll set an agenda for.
Speaker 5 (33:10):
The next meeting.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
Gotcha, that's what You're controlling this and your narrative.
Speaker 5 (33:14):
You're controlling the entire meeting.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
But you're letting them know, Hey, we're gonna let you, and.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
You're gonna give them opportunity to have to Yeah, you
don't have to, but you're gonna give them an opportunity
to provide feedback through your agenda.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
I appreciate your feedback.
Speaker 5 (33:29):
That's right, that's a really great idea. Let's let's, you know,
think about that. We'll talk about the next agenda.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
And then when you and then when you prepare the
next agenda, you leave those items off because it's stupid,
because they're stupid ideas, and you continue.
Speaker 5 (33:43):
The pattern this way.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
This is good.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
So that way you run the whole thing. And they
might be a little butt hurt about it. But when
they get was it five thousand ryans? How many we
want to put together?
Speaker 3 (33:53):
Twenty? We need more than twenty three and fifty, all right, So.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
When you get twenty five hundred yets in a room,
they're gonna be like, they're gonna forget all of this,
and they're gonna say Russ was the man, he ran
the show and that's how you do it.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
And I can't and you know what I'm going to say,
and you know what I'm gonna say, Ryan, I can't
even tell you about.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
I want to say it on the air.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
But one of the things they are worried about that
is so stupid and you.
Speaker 3 (34:15):
Know what I'm talking about. It's so stupid. And I'm like,
oh my god. And you get like.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Five or six people, and I think sometimes in a
committee like that, everyone just wants to feel like they've
heard and they'll say.
Speaker 5 (34:27):
Them they want to say something they're worried about.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
The dumbest little thing.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
It's like, you guys are just being speed bumps and
we got somewhere to get Ray.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
What would you say?
Speaker 4 (34:35):
Because in this context though, and then the and the
high or the way that this is set up, Russ
is the guest. Yeah, he's the one.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
Coming to Well, I invited that I can help you, Ryan.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
But what I'm saying that that entity existed for the
last few years. We saw this on TV. Then you
got all fired up because you want to do another
event for Ryan, and Ryan is going to do minimal
effort here.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
Look, just a banner.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
Exactly, how do you do exactly what you just said.
But in this in the sense of not off putting
everyone on the board, because he like, instantly, what's going
to become It's going to become adversarial. They're going to
be like, and you rush again, not taking any I
(35:22):
think away from your accomplishments and what you can do.
But it can become adversarial with you really quick, and
they'll be like, you know what, this guy is not
worth the time. We'll figure out another way, and they
might concede and do a less successful event, but at
least they feel like they did what they.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
Wanted to do.
Speaker 5 (35:39):
They need you though, so it's not the other way around.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
They need you, and so I would lean into it
if they get offended, right, they get adversarial with you,
say listen, guys, listen, I'm not Trystepnibody's toes.
Speaker 5 (35:50):
I want to make this a great event.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
And you came to me because you think I can
help make this a great event.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Right, he went to them, But now they're coming to me.
Now they're they're they're calling.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
We're not going back and forth here. The process was
you saw this.
Speaker 5 (36:04):
On television story little mixed up.
Speaker 4 (36:07):
Yeah, he saw this on television, and then he wanted
to do something for Ryan Homes. Yea, and he thought.
Speaker 5 (36:12):
It's even better that way. Actually, actually he thought.
Speaker 4 (36:14):
Right Homes would get up off the bench and participate.
Speaker 3 (36:16):
And he's doing nothing.
Speaker 4 (36:19):
Russ come hell or so Ross come hell or high
water is going to make this event successful. This is
what they don't understand. But they're still on the outside
look or he's on the outside looking in, and they
don't know me, and they don't know so I'm saying,
how do you accomplish what you're saying to him? But
without turning them off from the get go.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
It's actually it's actually it's actually even better that you
reached out to them.
Speaker 5 (36:42):
Okay, I care about Ryan's I had a Ryan adopt.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
This means a lot to me, guys, and I'm sorry
if I'm stepping on anybody's toes, apologize first, But I
want to make sure that this is the best possible event.
And I know I can do this. Here's my track, recker.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
I've done.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
I can do this for you if you guys believe
in me. And if you don't believe me, that's okay.
I don't mind giving back some power, But if you
do believe in me.
Speaker 5 (37:09):
I want to do it.
Speaker 3 (37:11):
That's good. That's good.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
Because most people are conflicted. Verse they're gonna say, you
take the power. Ah, you gotta be careful. So the
only thing you have to be careful for is the past.
To my head, No, you do that. You have to
be careful about the passive aggressive people. So then what
you got to do is you got to pull each
individual Ryan in the committee, and you guys say, like,
turn them against each other, not turn against each other,
(37:35):
but turn him towards you and say, hey, listen, you're
my favorite Ryan of the group.
Speaker 4 (37:42):
I got the favorite him or buddies, he's like I
already like him.
Speaker 3 (37:48):
Yeah, there's a female Ryan.
Speaker 4 (37:49):
It's already Ryan. There's an Asian Ryan Ryan, Asian Ryan
or girl.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
Right.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
And when I take an audience, trust me, I wish,
I wish I could tell you the issue that the
biggest issue, but I just can't say anything.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
I'm gonna tell you.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
I'm gonna tell Ray Trendley and tell Angelie during the
break when you hear this, what the But it's like
it's like they just want to come up with reasons
to make it difficult, right.
Speaker 3 (38:13):
Uh And and it's like, come on, guys.
Speaker 5 (38:16):
I've got a good one for that too. Okay, are
you ready for it?
Speaker 3 (38:18):
Can we do it after the break?
Speaker 5 (38:19):
Absolutely?
Speaker 3 (38:19):

Speaker 4 (01:34):
Paunch of sports action happening last night. Did you guys
watch any of the play in game tournaments?
Speaker 1 (01:42):
An exciting game last night was between the Heat and
the Hornets.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
The Heat and the Charlotte Hornets and some drama rush
with some controversy and drama. Uh so, ultimately the Hornets
wine and shocking fashion even though they were the home
team twenty six in overtime. A couple of things that
happened here that it's controversial. First of all, LaMelo ball
(02:12):
in a very crucial part of the game, he falls
to the ground, he gets hit in the head, falls
to the ground, and then there's Bam out of Bayu.
Bam out of Bayo is the guy that scored like
a million points the other day. He's he is one
of the Miami Heats like he is their centerpiece. He
is their their their their guy. Right so at a
crucial part of the first in the first part of
(02:33):
the game again. This game is fast paced. A lot
of three is going down and you need the heat.
Need that guy right, either for defensive purposes interior presence
exchange happens on the baseline. LaMelo Ball falls on the ground.
He says, he gets hitting the head, and the visually
see if you can grab this, Ryan, Yeah, yeah, it
looks the visual it looks like that little old Lamello
(02:56):
Ball grabs big old Bam to buy who's by the
ankle and makes him fall on the ground. Bam falls
on the ground right directly on his buttocks on and
he's out of the game for He's out of the
game for the rest of the game. Oh yeah, right
to see him do that.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Yeah yeah, when a guy that big hits the ground.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
You can't sweep him like that.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Man.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
Like the angle makes it hard to tell or not.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Yeah, there's a reverse angle. There's another angle, Ryan from
the baseline.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Side of it.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
And I gotta say, look, I have nothing invested in this.
I gotta say it's I don't think.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
That oh he scoops.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
I don't know. I feel like it was just a
momentumized like I don't know if if he does I.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Don't think it was on purpose. Henna.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
He apologize game and everything, but again we'll see.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Uh. Someone says that the second time he tripped him
the season.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Is that accurate that LaMelo Ball tripped Bam. Yeah, if
that's what they're saying. Again, I don't follow either one
of the teams. And then there was a controversy with
him pulling a Bam out about you now, So that's
where a lot of the drama from last night's get
Oh and then the bigger drama is this now, this
little play in tournament, the only place that you can
(04:15):
watch this play in tournament is on Amazon Prime. So
last night, in the crunch time of this game, right
the last the final two minutes of overtime, they lost
the transmission. Oh no, Amazon Prime Video experience a major
two minute outage during the final minute of overtime in
the twenty twenty six Keet Hornets NBA playoff play in game,
(04:36):
the feed way dark for many viewers with forty eight
point one seconds left and just returned with twenty six
seconds left, missing crucial game action. Amazon sited a hardware
failure in the production truck. Who gets fired?
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Ryan?
Speaker 1 (04:51):
So somebody gets fired who's hard drive was and that
wasn't working.
Speaker 5 (04:55):
I do not know, but that is a big deal.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
That is huge.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
He I'm getting a lot of people and this is
what I heard this morning. So that's why I'm not
arguing with you. But I heard this morning that if
we win tonight, we play the Celtics.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
And that's what a lot of people are saying.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
If we win tonight, we go to the playoffs against
the Celtics. If we lose, we go to play the
Hornets in Orlando. That's what I heard. Whatever other sports
thing we play on the air, that's what they were saying.
But you're saying that's not accurate.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
If we win, we don't play the Celtics.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
I'm trying to figure out the logic there, because then
what happened. So then the Hornets won last night for nothing,
Because right now I'm looking at the calendar. Hornets to
to be determined play a game on Friday, April seventeenth,
Suns play.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Yeah, yeah, they would play. If if Orlando loses, then
they play Orlando. But yeah, that's what they said on
the radio, That's what they said earlier.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
So then the fact that the Hornets just won this
game so they don't do anything.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Yeah, they played they get a chance to play the
loser from from tonight that they would play Orlando.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Okay, I see what you're saying in reverse. So if
we win, we go we we played, we would play.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
The Celtics, the Celtics, and if we're in the seventy
six ers.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
And the and the and the Hornets would have to
play that game on Friday.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Correct, got it.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Yeah, I've read three different breakdowns and I'm still confused.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
And I literally don't know. I just heard. That's what
they said this morning. They made it pretty simple.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
They said, if the Magic win, we play the Celtics.
If the Magic lose, we play I think it was
the Hornets or somebody. Uh, so we still have a
chance to get in. But this playoff, obviously, this play
in tournament is confusing for It was even confusing for
bo Outlaw yesterday, like you said, and they sent paperwork
in to try to fix this.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
And this whole system was put in place in theory
to like stop teams from tanking.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
But it did work.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
So stop it, right.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
I don't like it. I don't I've watched.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Three different breakdowns on video and I'm and reading it
makes even less sense to me.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
So back at and that guy hate your banner. He's
a jerk, all right.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
So regardless of any of all the things, the Orlando
Magic are at the Philadelphia tonight and hopefully they win,
and then we can continue to have this play in
tournament argument as we continue to go forward. Major League
Baseball action going on tonight. We've got the Pirates versus
the Nationals, Yankees and Angels, Marlins in the Braves today
(07:30):
and the Rays and the White Sox today, so we
got that going on. We're down to the last couple
of days of the NHL season RUSS, and then the
playoffs start this weekend for the NHL, so keep an
eye on that. We've got some great NHL action happening
starting over the weekend. And then today Orlando City plays
FC Naples in the US Open Cup. That's going to
(07:50):
be at seven o'clock. So definitely get out and support
our team in Cigar in regards to that tournament. Hopefully,
you know, again, this would be what those cool things
that they get some momentum and uh that would continue
on to the regular season. Inner Miami, some big news
down in Inner Miami. Javier Maschonio is stepping down to
(08:12):
personal reasons just four months after leading Miami to the
first MS title, and he took his whole staff with him,
So the whole entire staff stepped away from Miami, and
Matt Crocker is stepping down from the Saudi Arabian Federation
as well. So we'll see what happens with with Miami
and how they respond to that and how they who
(08:34):
they get to fill in for them, and that is
Monster Sports.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
All right, We're about to do something and I do
not know how it's gonna turn out. This is a
complete uh throw it against the wall and see what happens.
And you know what, I'm gonna wait and set it
up in the next segment. I'll tell you what this is.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
This is.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
If I go explain everything now, then it'll let me
just just hold on. We're about to do so then
I don't know how it's going to turn out. So
I'll tell you what that is when we come back.
Don't go anywhere. You're listening to the Manch of the Morning,
(09:17):
all right, welcome back Monsters Mornings for Radio one oh
four point one.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Let me tell you what happened. This is this true story.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Okay, as you know, I just got a new vehicle, right,
I just got the new I love it, by the way,
the HUMMERDV truck commerdible, you know, absolutely awesome. But it's
got new features in it, and it doesn't have car play.
It's got Google, you know, the the Google interface thing angel.
So so yeah, yeah, So I'm driving home and I
(09:51):
get a phone call. Now everything's different than it used
to be with my other vehicle, right, so I'm getting
used to the new technology that's in this new vehicle,
and then somebody's calling me. I'm going somebody's calling me,
and it's not saying who it is. So I'm like,
I just pick it up, you know, I just hit
the button and I'm like, hey, hello, and and it's
it's a voice that I don't recognize, and and and
(10:11):
it's a guy and he's like, hey, my name is
Big Country. And I was told that that you are
a guy that gives people opportunities. I know that you
gave a young lady that I've never met her before,
but Savannah Savino, you gave her an opportunity.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
And she's a.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Singer, and you've given other singers opportunities and I'm just
a struggling singer that I'm just doing everything I can
and trying to make it happen. And I was just
told that you're a guy that sometimes gives people opportunities.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
And I'm like, first, I'm like, how did you get
my numb Why did you get my number? Who's it?
And look? And I guess.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Somehow, and I got to figure out how to block it. Uh,
And I've I've ignored these before. But some people can
call you on Facebook.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Ye. Now, I didn't know that, and I didn't I would.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Yeah, we we had, we had a whole story where
someone uh sent.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
You something on a long long time You're right, yah, yeah,
but I didn't really.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
I thought i'd blocked all that. I didn't know someone
could just randomly call me on Facebook.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
On any of your social media platforms. Yeah, they all
have the capability to reach out and call you.
Speaker 3 (11:12):

to make it. Uh.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
And he told me some other things that what's going
on in his life and and he's got to single
out and and and and and and then I started
listening to him and I'm like, oh, he sounds like
a nice guy.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
And then he starts telling me about how he had,
you know, had addiction issues and he's gone through the
addiction and he wants to help people get over addiction.
And and he's got a whole thing going on. And
he's gonna be singing the national anthem. I believe it's

from him.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
He didn't text me, I didn't get a text f him,
so I didn't think he was gonna be here. And
then I just got a call at eight o'clock and
he called me once again on Facebook, said hey, I
tried to text you but it wouldn't go through. You
know I'm here, so I'm gonna bring this guy in
and we'll see.

Look, we're gonna see how this goes.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
He was very Look, it was very Just talking to
him on the phone was inspirational. I never pick up
the phone, and in my mind I was thinking, well,
maybe this was a meant to be thing.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
So let's go bring in a big country.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Is his name, Big Country with a K, and he's

Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:57):

whatever reason, I didn't get any text, So I didn't
know if you're actually gonna make it or what was
going on?
Speaker 3 (13:07):
But we'll sit you. We'll sit you down here and
get you some headphones.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
On and uh and so first off, like, how did
you even know the call on Facebook? I don't even
know how that works. I normally don't answer the phone,
just so you know, big country. So I talked into
the mic.
Speaker 6 (13:20):
Care I got an animated message back when I wrote
one on four point one the other day, like a
week ago, and I had my Facebook got suspended yesterday
and I've got a huge following right now, so I
was really upset about it. So when I got it back,
I appeeled it and got it back. When I went
to look at it, I went through through my messages
try and find out what was going on. The message
was there, and I said, let me look at it.
(13:40):
No mere response. And there was a little phone emblem
in the top right corner, and I hit that phone
and something told me to hit it, and it just
called me, and it called you what the hell? Okay,
everything happens for a reason. My whole journey's been about
everything happening for a reason. I feel like I speak
a lot of things into existence. My dreams are coming
true and that's all because I've changed my life.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Okay, all right, So you told me that, and I'm like, okay, well,
it sounds like an interesting story. You're from Bifflow, You're
born and raised blow. I was born in Maryland but
raised in Bielo Grave. And you're a singer, yes, sir uh.
And and you said that you were starting some sort
of what was it, You're starting an organization or something.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
I'm trying.
Speaker 6 (14:16):
And Bithlow is where I used to do all my
negative behaviors.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
So a little let's start with that. What kind of
negative behaviors did you do?
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Big Country?
Speaker 1 (14:25):
So?
Speaker 6 (14:25):
I mean from from cocaine to methamphetamine. I mean, I
mean anything and everything. And and I didn't know how
to get away from it in Blo.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
So Biflow, you can get cocaine, you can get a myth.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
Really, I had not heard that.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
What other? I mean? It ended It ended me up
in prison. Crack. Did you ever do crack? You did crack? Oh?
How was that horrible? Yeah? Great? Heroin? Did you ever
do Heroin?
Speaker 7 (14:50):
No?
Speaker 3 (14:51):
No?
Speaker 1 (14:51):
No?
Speaker 3 (14:51):
So you got arrested. What were you arrested for?
Speaker 6 (14:54):
I have burglary of an occupied dwelling and a couple
of v O PEA charges. Nothing, nothing, drugs. What's what's VOP?
I don't know what that is? Violation of probation? Oh okay,
all right. So being able to pass a drug test, gotcha.
Not being able to change my life when I needed to.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
So how old were you when you went to jail
for the first time? The first time?
Speaker 6 (15:11):
I was twenty to twenty two, but it was it
was a serious charge. I mean, I was looking at
ten years in prison.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
At that age twenty two? You going, were you big then?
Because you're a big guy yesterday. I played football my
whole life. Yeah, okay, all right? Where'd you play football?
Speaker 3 (15:26):
University? High school? Okay, all right?
Speaker 6 (15:28):
I broke my knee in my senior year and I
lost a lot of opportunities and I got that's when
pain pills came into my life, gotcha, And that started
a very negative downfall.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
And it happens for a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
They start with the pain pills because of something that
that you know, injury or whatever, and then it kind
of goes it goes out. If you don't mind me asking,
you are a big fellow. How much you're weighing right now?
Probably about three eighty. Yeah, yeah, big, I was for sixty.
I've been working on it. I had diabetes. I might
still have. My one sees dropped like ten points.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (15:56):
So I'm working on everything, man, my health, my life,
my visions, my everything.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
So you get you get arrested, you go into present
and obviously you you don't like you don't like prison.
When you get out, what makes you go?
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (16:09):
I gotta turn this whole around because yesterday you mentioned
jelly Roll, right.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Yes, sir, was that an inspiration for you more than anything?
Speaker 6 (16:17):
So he came from more of a rap error and
I'm more of a country singer. So I feel like
if we were to combine together, we could make the
movement happen. There could be huge change in this world,
which it needs. The drug epidemic and everything that's going
on in the world is really sad and it could
be stopped because a.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Lot of people say, you know, when you when you
get off drugs, it's it's it's really hard, like you know,
as far as the uh you know, uh detox and
all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Was that difficult for you?
Speaker 6 (16:46):
It wasn't for me, because I mean I I was
forced to do it. I mean, I was sent to jail.
In prison, you know you can't, there's no way around it.
You're you're you're getting sober. So but that was the
best thing that ever happened to me. I went to
Seminole County Jail, and uh, I knew that when I
was there. I wanted to change that time. So I
did a program called Accepting Change through Treatment, and I
absolutely loved it. I've talked to him about going back
(17:07):
and sharing, just rating and waiting on a response back.
So like, I'm trying to get anywhere, neverwhere, sharing that
message wherever I've been.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Yeah, you were listen.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Normally I would have just hung up on you yesterday,
but after speaking to you, I was like, I sings
on a nice guy and he's got a good a
good message. It seems as if you know, for I
don't know you. I never never met you before. How
long have you been singing?
Speaker 6 (17:28):
I have my aunt has a video of me singing
when I was like five or six years old on
a on a fireplace to my whole family.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
Edwin McCain and I'll be okay, all right, do you
do you write your own stuff?
Speaker 6 (17:38):
Or yes, sir, I right now I'm in between a
rock and a hard place. I've got books of lyrics
and songs written for a while while I did time,
but I don't have I don't play an instrument, and
I don't have them funding to keep buying beats. I
have one song out that I just put out, but
it's I have plenty more to put out.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
And I mean I'm just waiting on the on the
right time.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
Right right right in his all country, yes, but I
mean it goes from like country rock. It's not like
sad country. It's it's more a country with a beat
and music about change. I mean there's even a little
bit of country rapping there that's more of a speaking.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Yeah, you speak a lot.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
I went talking to yesterday and also today, you talking
about helping people change. Why why do you feel that's
on your on your shoulders? I mean, why why do
you feel like helping other people is something that is
important to you?
Speaker 6 (18:25):
Well, when I was in my bad days of ripping
and running, you know, I want it out, but there
was no out where I was living, and there still
isn't it out for people that want they want to change,
you know, and there's no like yesterday, I had a
meeting in Bethelo Park and I sat there an hour
after the meeting with the guy that showed up five
minutes before it was supposed to end, and he was like, look,
I just need a vent And I talked to him
(18:45):
for an hour. He was almost about to cry, and
he walked away smile and bigger than I've ever seen
him smile. And it's just that those moments and that
that helping others, It just it keeps me going, and
it's what drives me.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
You know.
Speaker 6 (18:54):
I know that there's people that need help out there,
to people that want to change, and maybe they don't
know how, or maybe they don't need a little guidance,
whatever it may be.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
So what was Big Country do for a living? Right now?
I'm gonna stay at home, dad.
Speaker 6 (19:05):
My wife's the bread winter huh, So she uh makes
more money than I doing. And it was she's letting
me focus on music and helping others. Her mom has
some mental things going on, so I take her to
doctor's appointments, take my kids just to and from school,
watch our newborn baby, and uh pretty much take care
of responsibilities around their community and health and help everybody
I can.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Okay, uh uh is there anything that because we didn't.
I wasn't prepared. This was last second. I said, what
the hell, come on in, let's give it a shot.
Let's see what happens. H are you can you do
anything a cappella?
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Yes, sir, do you mind? No, no at all. Just

If there's any chains at all that you mind, still
be listening, love and forgiving guys like me, and I've
spent my whole life getting in all wrong. I sure
could use your hell from now. I want to be
(20:18):
a good man. I do like I shouldn't. Man, I
want to be the con man the mirror likes to see.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
I want to be a strong man, and it me did.
I was wrong.
Speaker 6 (20:33):
Man, God, I'm asking you to come change me into
the man I want to be.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
You got a great voice. You gotta really nervous some shit. Yeah,
well we're gonna don't be nervous. Listen just like you
said yesterday, Like man, you couldn't believe I answered the phone.
You couldn't believe. I said, yes, come on in. I'm like,
what the hell, will see what happens. And then you
as before you hung up, you said, oh, by the way,
I'm gonna be singing somewhere this weekend.
Speaker 6 (20:58):
Where is it you're singing this weekend? The tour Destruction.
I got to give a huge shout to them giving
me the opportunity. I'm singing the national anthem in front
of their whole sold out crowd.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
I think they're sold out. I'm not sure, but they're
about there. So oh I thought it was a football game.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
No, it's it's it's the Tour Destruction that's out of
Bifflow Speed World, in Speed World where they do that,
and they invited you to sing the national lamp.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Yes, sir, well that's very cool. Okay.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
So now, and like I don't I didn't know what
I do, how I could help you or whatever. I
could come in, we'll interview you, or we'll talk to you.
Do you have any social media or anything like that? Like,
what what is it that you're wanting people to to
do to be able to help your career?
Speaker 6 (21:30):
So right now I have to focus on Big Country,
because then if I focus on Big Country, I can
I can help others in the community. I can get
the sober living house I have planned for. I mean,
I'm working with a bunch of community outreach programs that
help homeless people, that help, that are willing to help.
It just needs to be all put in place and
(21:50):
puzzle pieces fixed in and but for right now, I mean,
Mike stamps on Facebook, big Country singer Songwriter Facebook, and
then that's that's okay, that's it.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Another wrong with that, that's fine. Hey, So the time,
how long did you have Let's we'll call it a
drug problem. How long was the drug problem?
Speaker 6 (22:09):
I mean when I got into pain pills after high school,
I was probably went about three or four years of that,
and then I got sober for probably eight years, and
then I split up with a woman I was with
for ten years and didn't know how to take that
relapse and went right back out. That's how I mean,
Just like that, it doesn't matter how much sobriety you have.
If you don't work a program, you can go right
back out.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
So when you started doing the drugs again and you
started to get into it, what stopped you was being arrested, Yes, sir, yeah,
so kind of a blessing, yes.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Sir, definitely. And then I got out.
Speaker 6 (22:40):
After I finished the program and I maintained the sobriety,
I became a manager at a sober living house in Daytona.
I went to Sober Solutions by the Sea in daytona
great program as well as Fine Sober Living there. They're
great programs. And I became a manager at find Sober Living.
And then when I left there, I had violated probation
for going to I had an ankle monitor on community
(23:02):
control and the judge violated me because she was just
tired of seeing me. But it was checkers, I mean hungry,
yeah man, yeah, but it I met a lot of
people there. It was a culture shock in prison. You know,
I'm from Bithelo. I didn't see a lot. I've never
seen some of the things that go on in prison,
the gangs, the violence, the how bad was it was bad?
(23:23):
People try to fight you and you're a big guy.
Did they try to fight you?
Speaker 2 (23:25):
No?
Speaker 6 (23:25):
They wanted me on their side, all right. But the
corruption with the guards and then the system. There's no
corrections and corrections facility anymore. It's really bad?
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Is it really bad?
Speaker 1 (23:34):
So you couldn't wait to get out of there? And
when you got out of there, you're like, I'm turning
my life around.
Speaker 6 (23:38):
Yeah, I mean I brought a lot of positivity there.
I ran meetings in prison, I sang in prison, I
did the National anthem, and I ran groups.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (23:44):
I got thirty two certificates in three years in prison
on different programs and classes and everything from first aid
to carpentry.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
So okay, five years from nowhere, where would you want
to see big Country?
Speaker 3 (23:56):
And to you, what is making it?
Speaker 6 (23:59):
Well, I've just partner with Rush Entertainment and they're willing
to back me one hundred percent. They love my story,
they love my voice. I went and auditioned for them
at Old Town and they've been on my had me
on their back ever since.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
So they love my they want me all over. Just
the funding's not there.
Speaker 6 (24:15):
We're looking for partnerships and sponsorships that are going to
get me to Nashville.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Hey, what do you say to people I'm looking at
Texas everything. Oh, he's trying to copy jelly roll. What
do you say to people that say, oh, you're just
trying to copy jelly Roll?
Speaker 6 (24:26):
Well, jelly roll came from rapping. I'm a country singer.
I can sing any any nineties country song there is
and make it sound real good. And he can rap
any nineties country song there is. But together we can
change the world.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Yeah, So you don't take that as a as a
you're not offended by that. Yeah, this is your journey.
It's different, it's separate. And you're coming from Biffalow, Florida,
which is.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Uh, we all know where Bifflow is. They have the
nightmare before Christmas.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
That's it, all right that before you leave, I want
to make sure that you know how to text me
because because you were because you you just said you tried,
it wouldn't go through. Yeah, we're gonna figure that out.
Uh and uh, you know, good li to you once again.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Get about to give out your social media information again.
But I got people texting in and they're trying to
find you on Facebook as we speak.
Speaker 6 (25:05):
Okay, it's Mike Stamps Facebook, Mike Stamps and then big
country singer songwriter also on Facebook. I just don't get
as much attention on there as as I do the
Mike Stamp spage. So if you go to Mike Stamps
it'll take you to Big Country too, right, Yes, yeah,
So it's m I K E S T A M
P S.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Yes.
Speaker 6 (25:22):
And then on YouTube, I have a song out it's
called better Man. It's from Big Country four oh seven.
So if you guys want to check it out, it's
I had to do the cheap way to get it
mixing mastered, so it's not exactly perfect. Their lyrics are there,
but the beats off a little bit.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
All right.
Speaker 6 (25:39):
It's it's there, and if anybody wants to work with
me on it. How rebilitated are you?
Speaker 3 (25:43):
I mean you're not. You're not. No more breaking it
ery right, no more of that, all right?
Speaker 6 (25:48):
Come actually six years clean and I'm out of prison
for almost almost two years.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Because i'd have to talk to him.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
But I know someone that that might be willing to
help you record a song in a professional studio.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
I'd be, uh, I just met you.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
I don't know, like you know, I could be you know,
uh uh partnering with a felon that that's gonna end
up killing me.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
I don't know. But but you seem you seem like.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
A good guy, and you seem like you got a
good heart, and I'd love to see you.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
I'd love to see you make it. Make a cool
song about it, though, you better make a cool song. Man.
That time I killed a radio dude. He didn't know
what he was sitting loose.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
But well, Big Country, nice meeting you in the breakwise,
we'll figure out how to We'll figure out the talking
for you.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Huh. Oh look a Big Country T shirt. Look at that?
Speaker 5 (26:34):
Hey you go nice.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
You even got shirts. Oh that's that's cool looking shirt too.
I like that dream. He's got fire around him. Dream big,
man around it's got fire. I dream big all the time.
Speaker 6 (26:45):
I feel like I can speak it into existence and
with a team, with a with a good solid background
and a footing. With a team, I feel like I
can get wherever I want to go.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
All right, man, well I hope you can. That sounds great.
All right, Big Country, thanks for coming in, buddy, Thank you.
All right, Well take a little break crime back, we'll
talk to friendly Ray Trentley.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
You don't go anywhere. You're listening to the March of
the Morning. Well, I liked him. I didn't know how
that was going to turn out.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
That was a random phone call that came to uh,
that came.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
To my.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
I don't know how people call him Facebook. I thought
I blocked all that.
Speaker 7 (27:25):
I thought I did too. And then when he called
and I even told me, oh, he called me yesterday
and he called me this morning. I don't know who
this is, so I'm not answering. And I told him
on the walkout, I said, hey, man, sorry, I don't
answer phone calls from there. I didn't even know it
could come through my phone like that. Like you, I
thought I had blocked all of that.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
I did too. I wish that will be happening.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Maybe that was one of those things that with all
my wage, with all these updates that happens on your programs,
on your phones and everything, sometimes you have to go
back and redo that.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Yeah, well maybe that was meant to happen to help
the guy out.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
You know, he said, like a nice guy.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
He's trying to turn his life around, very respectful. I
thought he could sing very well for country music that
you know, they sounded great.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Uh so, uh yeah, did you did you hear any
of that? Ray? I did.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
I was listening on the iHeartRadio app. Yeah, and uh
he is a he's got a good story.
Speaker 5 (28:13):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Yeah, it is a lot of people are like, Oh,
he's trying to be jelly Roll. But I mean, if
you've been arrested and you're trying to turn your life around,
I mean, it's a it is a similar story.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
But I mean whatever, I do feel bad. First thing
I asked him was did jelly Roll inspire him? And
he's like, everybody asked me that question.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Uh, but he did kind of talk about the country
music difference.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
But you know what, here's what I'll say.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
I think a lot of people get mad and say, oh,
you're you're being inspired by this person.
Speaker 5 (28:38):
You're trying to copy that person.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
But we're all just trying to come up with their
own little variation of something that has happened already.
Speaker 5 (28:44):
Yeah, and you.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Know, I think jally Roll also has a great story,
So you know, good for him. I hope, I hope
it all works out for him.
Speaker 5 (28:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
And he's got he's got some hustle. That's one thing. Yeah,
he does us. I like that for sure.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
That's how you've been, man, I've been.
Speaker 5 (28:59):
I've been well. I've been.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
I was in mediation back to back yesterday in the
day before. I don't I don't do much. I don't
associally do much lawyering. I don't do much of that
kind of lawyering. Most of what I do is usually
in the courtroom these days. But I had a couple
of cases that I've been trying to wrap up for
some friends, and so I was in back to back
mediation Monday and Tuesday. Got two cases resolved. So I'm good.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
I like.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
I like it when I feel like I'm able to win,
and normally when I walk into mediation, it's hard because
like you're talking about compromise.
Speaker 5 (29:31):
Right, I crushed both those mediations.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
The lawyer yesterday was it was like four forty five
and I had my daughter had a music thing at school.
I was like, I've got a hard stop at five
point fifteen. It was like four forty five. The lawyers,
whatever you want to add to the contract, just add it.
And I was like, okay, uh so we added what
I wanted that I signed it, and I was like,
you're a bad lawyer.
Speaker 5 (29:54):
I just crushed you.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
So you know what, that might be my money favorite thing.
It's crushing somebody's spirit at the end of mediation, as
long as it's not my client.
Speaker 5 (30:06):
You know, my client.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
Do you feel like you're good at mediation. That's a
that's you're you.
Speaker 5 (30:11):
Know what I am.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
I think that if everybody walks into mediation prepared, I
can come up with really creative solutions that solve any problem.
I hate when people walk into mediation unprepared. They never
talk to their clients, they haven't set any expectations. That
that's the most probably mentally and physically draining thing that
I do as a lawyer. So you know, I tell
(30:36):
people I think my skill set is best for the
courtroom because it doesn't matter if the other side is
prepared or not.
Speaker 5 (30:42):
We've got our mission, we've got our plan. We're going
to execute flawlessly.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
But in mediation, the man in charge absolutely, yeah, I'm
going to talk to you about that. So this is
this is adjacent. It's not the same as what you're
talking about, because mediation. Mediation is sort of like uh,
talking to people on a committee.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
Right.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
I am so bad at being on a committee of people.
And I got to talk today to these these Ryan
the Ryan Kahn people, the Ryan thing and and the
one being the one Ryan talking is great. I've come
up with idea. Oh that's a great idea, And like
you know, I kind of like we can run with
it and we can make it.
Speaker 4 (31:23):
This But is he really great or is he just
acquiescing to you?
Speaker 3 (31:26):
Yes? Yeah, which great?
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Yeah, because I know what I'm doing, Angel, But I
believe it or not when it comes to events like this,
I know what I'm doing.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
But so we warned that. We warned this guy last
time he was at the hotel. Guys like you do,
You're you're about to lose your event. Are you prepared
for that?
Speaker 1 (31:42):
No? Or your event is actually going to be successful
because you got the man who knows how to make
it happen. You can look at it that way too.
But now I got to talk to a committee of
Ryan's today, and the last time I talked to a
committee of Ryan's, everybody's got a pin and you get nowhere, right,
everybody's got to have an opinion and this and that.
And I am so bad at a committee of people
(32:04):
because it's like, you got something stupid.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
People like have dumb ideas. They worry about stuffification.
Speaker 4 (32:10):
That's so don't say.
Speaker 5 (32:12):
Well, I'm telling Ray that is a private conversation.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
You guys. Yes, guys, I'm trying to get advice from Ray.
Speaker 5 (32:17):
This is a private conversation.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
What do you do when you're.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Talking to a committee of people and you know they
don't know what the hell they're talking about, uh, and
you know how it should be done.
Speaker 5 (32:25):
So I'll tell you here. This is a secret.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Okay, okay, but this is like nine out of ten
it works every time.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
Okay, good, good, Yeah. I need this so.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Whenever I have a situation like that and I want
to be able to control the room.
Speaker 5 (32:38):
But I don't want to seem like I'm controlling the room.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
I want to control the room, and write that down.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
The first thing I The first thing I do is
I I and you can use chat GPT for this.
Speaker 5 (32:48):
Just talk to your phone and have chat GPT.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Put it together, create an agenda for exactly how the
meeting is going to go. And you're gonna says, hey, listen, guys,
I want to have the most productive meeting possible. So
what I did is I put together in a jet
I want to have open for opening comments, and then
here's the five things I want to accomplish, and then
we're gonna have a conclusion. Anybody wants to any feedback,
We'll have a conclusion, and then we'll set an agenda for.
Speaker 5 (33:10):
The next meeting.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
Gotcha, that's what You're controlling this and your narrative.
Speaker 5 (33:14):
You're controlling the entire meeting.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
But you're letting them know, Hey, we're gonna let you, and.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
You're gonna give them opportunity to have to Yeah, you
don't have to, but you're gonna give them an opportunity
to provide feedback through your agenda.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
I appreciate your feedback.
Speaker 5 (33:29):
That's right, that's a really great idea. Let's let's, you know,
think about that. We'll talk about the next agenda.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
And then when you and then when you prepare the
next agenda, you leave those items off because it's stupid,
because they're stupid ideas, and you continue.
Speaker 5 (33:43):
The pattern this way.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
This is good.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
So that way you run the whole thing. And they
might be a little butt hurt about it. But when
they get was it five thousand ryans? How many we
want to put together?
Speaker 3 (33:53):
Twenty? We need more than twenty three and fifty, all right, So.
Speaker 2 (33:57):
When you get twenty five hundred yets in a room,
they're gonna be like, they're gonna forget all of this,
and they're gonna say Russ was the man, he ran
the show and that's how you do it.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
And I can't and you know what I'm going to say,
and you know what I'm gonna say, Ryan, I can't
even tell you about.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
I want to say it on the air.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
But one of the things they are worried about that
is so stupid and you.
Speaker 3 (34:15):
Know what I'm talking about. It's so stupid. And I'm like,
oh my god. And you get like.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Five or six people, and I think sometimes in a
committee like that, everyone just wants to feel like they've
heard and they'll say.
Speaker 5 (34:27):
Them they want to say something they're worried about.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
The dumbest little thing.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
It's like, you guys are just being speed bumps and
we got somewhere to get Ray.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
What would you say?
Speaker 4 (34:35):
Because in this context though, and then the and the
high or the way that this is set up, Russ
is the guest. Yeah, he's the one.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
Coming to Well, I invited that I can help you, Ryan.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
But what I'm saying that that entity existed for the
last few years. We saw this on TV. Then you
got all fired up because you want to do another
event for Ryan, and Ryan is going to do minimal
effort here.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
Look, just a banner.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
Exactly, how do you do exactly what you just said.
But in this in the sense of not off putting
everyone on the board, because he like, instantly, what's going
to become It's going to become adversarial. They're going to
be like, and you rush again, not taking any I
(35:22):
think away from your accomplishments and what you can do.
But it can become adversarial with you really quick, and
they'll be like, you know what, this guy is not
worth the time. We'll figure out another way, and they
might concede and do a less successful event, but at
least they feel like they did what they.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
Wanted to do.
Speaker 5 (35:39):
They need you though, so it's not the other way around.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
They need you, and so I would lean into it
if they get offended, right, they get adversarial with you,
say listen, guys, listen, I'm not Trystepnibody's toes.
Speaker 5 (35:50):
I want to make this a great event.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
And you came to me because you think I can
help make this a great event.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Right, he went to them, But now they're coming to me.
Now they're they're they're calling.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
We're not going back and forth here. The process was
you saw this.
Speaker 5 (36:04):
On television story little mixed up.
Speaker 4 (36:07):
Yeah, he saw this on television, and then he wanted
to do something for Ryan Homes. Yea, and he thought.
Speaker 5 (36:12):
It's even better that way. Actually, actually he thought.
Speaker 4 (36:14):
Right Homes would get up off the bench and participate.
Speaker 3 (36:16):
And he's doing nothing.
Speaker 4 (36:19):
Russ come hell or so Ross come hell or high
water is going to make this event successful. This is
what they don't understand. But they're still on the outside
look or he's on the outside looking in, and they
don't know me, and they don't know so I'm saying,
how do you accomplish what you're saying to him? But
without turning them off from the get go.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
It's actually it's actually it's actually even better that you
reached out to them.
Speaker 5 (36:42):
Okay, I care about Ryan's I had a Ryan adopt.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
This means a lot to me, guys, and I'm sorry
if I'm stepping on anybody's toes, apologize first, But I
want to make sure that this is the best possible event.
And I know I can do this. Here's my track, recker.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
I've done.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
I can do this for you if you guys believe
in me. And if you don't believe me, that's okay.
I don't mind giving back some power, But if you
do believe in me.
Speaker 5 (37:09):
I want to do it.
Speaker 3 (37:11):
That's good. That's good.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
Because most people are conflicted. Verse they're gonna say, you
take the power. Ah, you gotta be careful. So the
only thing you have to be careful for is the past.
To my head, No, you do that. You have to
be careful about the passive aggressive people. So then what
you got to do is you got to pull each
individual Ryan in the committee, and you guys say, like,
turn them against each other, not turn against each other,
(37:35):
but turn him towards you and say, hey, listen, you're
my favorite Ryan of the group.
Speaker 4 (37:42):
I got the favorite him or buddies, he's like I
already like him.
Speaker 3 (37:48):
Yeah, there's a female Ryan.
Speaker 4 (37:49):
It's already Ryan. There's an Asian Ryan Ryan, Asian Ryan
or girl.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
Right.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
And when I take an audience, trust me, I wish,
I wish I could tell you the issue that the
biggest issue, but I just can't say anything.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
I'm gonna tell you.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
I'm gonna tell Ray Trendley and tell Angelie during the
break when you hear this, what the But it's like
it's like they just want to come up with reasons
