(04:08):
the program and with a fella. We're doing this until
around eleven o'clock. Here's the producer of the Angel will.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
Do the main for there.

Speaker 5 (04:16):
So, yeah, Ryan is still on his vacation. He's on
his cruise. I saw a couple of photos. Looks like
he's having fun. He wasn't in the hospital. That's good news,
that's you know, that's positive. Uh, he looked like he's
still alive. So uh, back to Port today.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (04:30):
I think he gets back to Port today and then
he'll be in tomorrow. Still plenty of time, plenty of
time for him get in some sort of accident or
some sort of a situation.

Speaker 7 (04:39):
But yeah, there's been mention this. We don't know what
time they get back in though, right I don't. I'm
willing to be put odds on that somehow, some way
he stops at hard rock.

Speaker 5 (04:51):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, because he got on
in Okay, he got on in Tampa.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
Yeah, he's in Tampa.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
Yeah, So you think he'll go to to do something
hard rock. Uh, they don't close, they don't.

Speaker 5 (05:02):
But I don't think his wife maybe because he probably's
gambled on the cruise ship.

Speaker 7 (05:05):
Right, I would be willing to say that he didn't
do it on the cruise ship as a deal to
uh get to go in there and bet on black
just once, babe.

Speaker 5 (05:13):
Oh I bet he did, Yeah, because that's the thing
on a cruise you haven't been yet, but on a
cruise ship, the casino is the hub, the center of everything.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
That's where all the party is and all this kind
of stuff.

Speaker 5 (05:23):
So he had to have gone in I would have
to think, you know, especially as he loves gambling. You know,
I'm sure that. I'm sure he has. But uh, yeah
he'll be he'll be back tomorrow. And didn't look like
he hurt himself or did anything super crazy. Bunch of
bunch of crazy stuff today. I gotta tell you I enjoyed.
Uh Friday Friday was fun. Uh we had bo in here,
which he hadn't been here for a long time. I

(05:45):
gotta tell you know, this is obviously this goes to
show to me in my heart, like I know what,
that's my that's my buddy, that's my best friend.

Speaker 3 (05:51):
It was really bothering me.

Speaker 5 (05:53):
Uh And listen, we all bust each other's balls all
the time, right like like we we bust nuts and
you know all that kind of stuff, and it never
bothers me if some says something about, you know whatever.
But people were coming at Bow about his voice a lot,
and man, that that was you know, because.

Speaker 3 (06:06):
It's because they hadn't heard him.

Speaker 5 (06:07):
Man, yeah, I know, I know, but like it was
it was a cancer thing, you know, and he couldn't
help it. And uh and a lot of people were
busting his balls about how he sounded like RFK or
or whatever, and uh, it was it was. It bothered me.
I was I was like, leave the man alone.

Speaker 3 (06:23):
He can't.

Speaker 5 (06:23):
You know, he's doing the best that he can, you
know what I'm saying. But uh, uh you know it
so can you tell it was a super raspy to you.

Speaker 7 (06:31):
No, But I but like, like we were talking about
it even that Friday. He sounds the same to me
because that's how I've always sounded, or that's always always
sounded to me, right, I don't I've never hung out
with Bow like, you know, a lot. There's always been
like spot places, whether there was a monster events back
on the day and everything. So I don't it's to me,

(06:51):
it wasn't noticeable.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
You know.

Speaker 7 (06:53):
I could tell when he gets tired. Yeah, you know,
I could tell that. I know, by the end of
the show, he's like, all right, cool, you know I've
talked a lot already. Know I'm gonna chill. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
five hours is a lot for him.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (07:04):
But I didn't And and some of it I thought
were people that hadn't obviously.

Speaker 3 (07:08):
Some of them were people that hadn't know who he was.

Speaker 7 (07:11):
Yeah, I didn't know the contact or who he is,
or some of it was people that hadn't heard him
in a while. And I thought some of it was
just people who are like day ones who were just
trying to be funny as well.

Speaker 5 (07:21):
Yeah, I know, I get that, you know, I just
recognize on my way home, I'm like, oh, that really
bothered me. He really must be my best friend, because
I feel defensive, you know, like I feel I felt
super defensive, like, hey, guys, give my man a break.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
You know.

Speaker 5 (07:34):
He he came in as a favor and uh, and
people were were busting his nuts, but his voice being
super raspy.

Speaker 3 (07:40):
But you know, Tiffany has the same thing, you know.
Uh yeah, you know.

Speaker 7 (07:43):
And and that was the other Like people were making
comments about her voice when she was on last time,
and I was like, she sounds the same to me.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
She was to me, she sounds a little raspy or.

Speaker 7 (07:54):
I think she sounds the way that she sounded was
more mature. Yeah, that's I would say that if anything,
you know, but I didn't. You know, Yeah, she's awesome.
She's coming to our event on June fifth, which is
very nice of her to come out and do that,
and so it's both we will be there as well.
But yeah, that was my takeaway.

Speaker 5 (08:11):
And I had but I had fun having him in
on Friday, and uh and it was sort of a
last minute thing, asked him to to come join us,
but uh yeah, yeah, but yeah, I don't know. I
can just tell I was getting offensive. So I was like, oh,
that must have been my man, that's my boy. You know,
I want to I want to. I don't want people
goofing on him. But whatever.

Speaker 3 (08:30):
Jet a good weekend.

Speaker 7 (08:31):
Yeah, it was chill, but it was good, you know, uh,
spend some time with my family. It's always weird, so
I don't I don't ever know how to address it.
So this past week it was the weekend where my
brother went disappeared, right, and so it's always uh And
I knew that, and I didn't want to bring it up.
That's why I said every good weekend. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
so it's it's weird to I would say that this

(08:52):
is the so it's twenty years now.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
And uh, this is the twenty year anniversary.

Speaker 7 (08:56):
Yeah wow, yeah, and it doesn't and it doesn't feel
that way.

Speaker 5 (09:00):
And I was gonna say, I mean, is it are
you See? I always sit back and try to re
evaluate my feelings. Work, Why am I feeling this way?
Are you surprised that twenty years later, you're still as
upset as you are?

Speaker 7 (09:14):
No, because of the way that myself and my family
have gone about trying to. I guess heal from all
of this, you.

Speaker 5 (09:21):
Know, right, So like and for those who don't know,
this was it was on a television show, but it's
also just real life.

Speaker 3 (09:28):
Twenty years ago, your brother was missing.

Speaker 5 (09:31):
They found him, but in the circumstance and you'd have
to go and watch it on America's What is it
on Netflix?

Speaker 3 (09:39):
Where they found him and how they found him.

Speaker 7 (09:41):
It's like almost doesn't even seem like he could have
gotten there from from that way.

Speaker 3 (09:46):
It is a complete mystery. They don't know what happened.

Speaker 5 (09:48):
He was not the type of person that you, from
your estimate, that would have committed suicide. Not that type
of person, but just.

Speaker 7 (09:56):
Did a lot of questions surrounding and a lot of
questionable behavior by a lot of different people.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
And you know, and so.

Speaker 5 (10:02):
They caught you way off guard, like like what what happened?

Speaker 3 (10:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (10:05):
Absolutely, And so it's now it's been twenty years. Twenty
years though, and so it was so that was a
sobering moment realizing that.

Speaker 3 (10:15):
And that happened through a text thread.

Speaker 7 (10:17):
And so now and our family did, like everyone kind
of went to their corners and and heels or tried
to heal or tried to do things in different ways. Yeah,
you know, I talked to his wife, you know, and
we touch base. I make it a point to go
and kind of hang with my parents. But it's like

(10:38):
spoken but not spoken about. You know, my sister does
her thing. And then this was the first time where
you know, somebody in the family kind of threw this
out there, and it's like, hey, you know, why don't
we all get together and all do something.

Speaker 3 (10:53):
It's nice?

Speaker 1 (10:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (10:54):
And was it nice?

Speaker 7 (10:55):
Uh, well, we're so, we're My whole thing was this
is like, instead of let's do an on this day,
let's do it on his.

Speaker 3 (11:02):
Birthday birthday you know, is close to your birthday.

Speaker 7 (11:04):
Yeah, it's like the day after my birth Yeah, which
is in itself, like since I don't really celebrate my birthday,
I think I can do that better, you know what
I mean, right, you know, in the sense it make
it seem like there was a real reason for you.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (11:16):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, so I think that.

Speaker 7 (11:17):
So we're so that's in June, right, yeah, so that
was the first time that that conversation has been had
in twenty years.

Speaker 3 (11:24):
Dude.

Speaker 7 (11:24):
Wow, right, like everybody kind of and and those wounds, man,
those wounds are deep. Yeah. It's one of those things
like with my pop, we can't talk about it really.
You and your dad don't talk about it, not in
any detail, not specific detail.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
Right.

Speaker 7 (11:41):
I'm not trying to blow up his spot or my
spot either. It's just it's hard for both of us,
you know. So and he was your older brother. He's
my middle brother. I'm the oldest. Oh you're the oldest.
He was your younger brother. Yeah yeah, wow, he's he's
the middle child. Let's put it that way, because then
my sister's the youngest. Okay, okay, yeah, huh. So so
that was this weekend.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
So that so you know, just you guys got together.
Did you have like photos and stuff like that.

Speaker 7 (12:04):
So this is so this is the thing. So this
was the weekend where everyone kind of pulls to their
corners and then there's the group chat. Thank goodness for
the group chat because then people, you know, uh, my
sister in law turns in. My sister chimed in and
then and I think her timing in was a lot
to do with my niece and nephew because they're asking.

Speaker 3 (12:23):
I was like, oh, why why don't we do you know?

Speaker 7 (12:25):
And then my daughter she's always like, we've just gone
to grandma and Grandpa's house and she knows what's what
and everything. Yeah, but this, this group chat conversation is
the first time where all the adults are kind of
talking about this and trying to and people start, you know,
you know, everyone out of their little little positive story
that they remembered and kind of we did it in

(12:47):
a group chat that we wouldn't do in the same room.

Speaker 3 (12:49):
Together, which is weird.

Speaker 7 (12:50):
I get it.

Speaker 5 (12:51):
I understand because emotionally, people don't want to cry, people
don't want to break down.

Speaker 7 (12:55):
It's it's just because there's no answers, because it's it's
still it's it sounds crazy to say is twenty years,
but it I can to me personally say, let me
speak for myself. Still, it's like it wasn't that long.

Speaker 3 (13:09):
Ago at all. This is yesterday, you know, last weekend.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
I don't know.

Speaker 7 (13:13):
Yeah, so, but this is the first time, you know,
like I know my therapist is going to be happy
to hear that.

Speaker 3 (13:19):
What did you guys I got together and did something.

Speaker 7 (13:21):
That conversation started happening because it was like, it's because.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
That helps healing, right.

Speaker 7 (13:26):
I think that's what that's what we're going for. Yeah,
I think that's what Yeah, I think that's where we're going. Well, yeah, absolutely,
that's what we're going for. It's a really rivera thing
like my family, like my grandma, like my grandpa, Like
it's a really kind of not the best parts of
stoicism or stoic thing. But like they, Grandma always internalized

(13:46):
this stuff. My dad always internalized this stuff. I'm mimicking
my father internalizing older generations.

Speaker 5 (13:52):
That's what I have found. I shouldn't speak for all
old and I'm just saying in my family as well. Okay,
I'll just say that, because it seemed like older general
they would just stuff it down. Partently, it didn't happen,
and I talk about it, and.

Speaker 7 (14:04):
Then if you talk about it nowadays, then oh you're
a weak man.

Speaker 5 (14:06):
Yeah yeah, what's wrong with your Yeah? Yeah feelings? Hey,
do you still do like I do? And of course
mine is a lot more fresh, But it was my
younger sister that passed, and I will still. There's something
that came out the other day. I'm like, oh, man,
I got to call Carla and tell her, Oh, do
you forget I picked up the phone to call my
sister to tell her about something with my mom. And
I'm like, oh my god, I cannot believe she has
not on this planet anymore. It is it is, It

(14:28):
is infathomable that my sister is nowhere on this planet.

Speaker 7 (14:32):
I did that for years, and then what it's evolved
to is that neat things will happen, and then it
bums me out that I can't share it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
you know what I mean. So there's that that part
of it, you know, I want to the like the
like the biggest thing is you know, the you know
my grandfriends. Yeah, and then uh, you know my daughters

(14:53):
and how they've both kind of just how awesome they've
become or are becoming and have become. I would have
been awesome to have him around as an influence to
my nephew, because I think that would have been incredibly helpful, right,
And just yeah, so things happen. You know, obviously there's
been twenty years of life and there's been tons of
stuff that have happened, has happened, and it's like, oh damn,

(15:16):
I can't share that with him, you know.

Speaker 3 (15:18):
And so that's the part.

Speaker 5 (15:19):
So here's something I always try to understand whenever I
see a story like your yours with your brother, or
any other story on the news or whatever where they well,
I just want closure, like with Savannah guth or whatever.

Speaker 3 (15:28):
We just want closure. We just want to know what happened.
And I'll watch that.

Speaker 5 (15:32):
I'm like, well, either way, you know, they're not here
why why is closure important? Because I don't understand. I'm
not in the situation, so you could probably tell me better.
Why do you think closure is important to know what happened?
Either way? You know he's not around. Why do you
why is it so important to know exactly what happened?

Speaker 7 (15:52):
I would say Russia's like twofold, right, closure if there,
if if our darkest fears and what happened with him
are remotely true, Closure would mean that there was some accountability.
Closure would mean that, Okay, these forces or this you know,

(16:14):
helped conspire to his demise, right right, because you know,
because you don't know if it was murder or if
it was accident or if it was Yeah, yeah, so
there's that.

Speaker 3 (16:24):
There's that part of it. Sure.

Speaker 7 (16:26):
For me personally, I've gotten to the place where, like
you just said, like I sometimes I forget this not
but I know that he's not here. I think the
other part for me selfishly, I think it would alleviate
this like cloud of gloom sometimes that it feels like
is over our family, you know, and particularly I say,

(16:48):
my parents, you know, and and like it's whatever we
have like these moments with family and everything and all
that you can it's right there like surface levels.

Speaker 3 (16:57):
Yeah, there's one. You know, there's one of us and
you know.

Speaker 5 (17:00):
So have you read story because I I haven't, but
I uh, only because I haven't looked. But have you
read stories where people didn't know, they didn't know, they
didn't know, and then finally they got closure. Have there
been stories were like, Okay, I feel so much better
now that there's clothes like that.

Speaker 7 (17:13):
So that does that is a thing. They do feel
better they know exactly what happened. Yeah, I think it's
the not knowing that makes it difficult. It's the not
knowing that sometimes in the first few years, I could
tell you it's the not knowing that would keep me
up at night. Sure it was not knowing that you know,
I would you know, quote unquote self medicate to so

(17:33):
that my head wouldn't just keep on spinning, spin and spinning.
Yet that's a real thing.

Speaker 5 (17:37):
Yeah, you know, so yeah, people self medicate because yeah, yeah, huh,
Well so that was this weekend.

Speaker 3 (17:43):
This weekend, But I did find plenty of other things
to distract me. Fro us.

Speaker 5 (17:46):
Well, we'll go we'll talk about those things in a
little bit. Also, today is the day of miracles. Today
is supposed to be the luckiest day of the year.
And I'll tell you why about all that when we
come back up. Bunch of big dumb fun today. Don't
go anywhere. You're listening to the mantras in the morning.

Speaker 4 (18:04):
They won't tell you this, but your pets are pretty
lonely when you leave.

Speaker 1 (18:09):
No worries.

Speaker 3 (18:10):
We'll keep him company.

Speaker 4 (18:11):
Just say Alexa, play Real Radio one oh four point
one on.

Speaker 3 (18:14):
Ihearts Radio Orlando.

Speaker 5 (18:16):
Are miracles the luckiest day of the year if you
believe in astrology?

Speaker 3 (18:22):
Okay? So and if you guys remember the Ryan tells
a story about this.

Speaker 5 (18:27):
He had a counselor you know for a while and
then therapist therapist, Yeah, a therapists counselor. He's talking to
the counselor and h and then she starts bringing up
his astrology sign and he fires the right away.

Speaker 7 (18:39):
I'm not coming back, you know, because I mean, you
know a lot of people look at it like that.
I've known people who are really into astrology, uh and
and really think there's something to it. But I think
that was more of a long time ago. Like now,
people don't really people goof on it, right, No, Russ.
This popular is probably even more popular now than it
ever was before.

Speaker 3 (19:00):
Astrology.

Speaker 7 (19:01):
Yeah, it's having a moment again because of again, it's
the impact of social media and all these platforms, whether
it's TikTok or Instagram. All you got to do just type,
just type in your sign one time, okay, right into
any one of those and watch the numerous and numerous
and numerous and numerous accounts and content creators who are

(19:24):
now I guess what readers or whatever, and they've all
you know, they're all making content and some of them
are really really good at it. Some of it you
could tell they just started this weekend. Some of them
know how to embellis and tell and make you feel
a particular type of way.

Speaker 3 (19:38):
And those are just the ones with the humans. Right.

Speaker 7 (19:40):
Then there's the ones that are probably AI drivens, which
are just they're just doing prompts and so they you know,
they'll get the thematic music and they'll grab all the
things that they know about your sign and they'll put
it in a really cool you know, uh page little turner.

Speaker 3 (19:53):
Kind of thing.

Speaker 7 (19:54):
And so again, and it's and it's supposed to be
meant to be empowering and positive and you're like, oh,
I like this, let me put this on and I'll
get this feed and I'll get this person and before
you're known, you're all caught up.

Speaker 5 (20:05):
So the thought process is I'm trying to understand it.
The thought process is is that you know, the way
the planets align on the day you were born has
something to do with your personality and determining you know,
the kind of person you are. So if you're born,
you know when I don't know when Jupiter was in
line with Mars on the same day that the moon

(20:26):
was in whatever, all that stuff that's supposed to equate to, oh,
this is the way you're gonna be for the rate
because everybody that was born on your day, the way
the the all the planets aligned, you guys are all
going to be somewhat similar.

Speaker 3 (20:38):
That.

Speaker 5 (20:38):
That's the idea of astrology, right, I think, So that's crazy.

Speaker 3 (20:43):
But did they take it?

Speaker 7 (20:43):
But again, they take into the position of the Earth,
the stars, that they know, all those all those kinds
of formations, right, And I think, Okay, let me put
it this way. I think astrology is more credible than
than what we're talking about or the astronomy or astronomy.
Astronomy is more credible than astrology. Astrology where is the signs?

Speaker 1 (21:06):
Right?

Speaker 7 (21:07):
Yeah, you know astronomy, But astronomy is the actual study
of the stars. Astrology takes a little bit of astronomy
with the star saying, puts a little sprinkle of you know,
a little magic or whatever and the signs and everything,
because all of that leads or lends itself to entertain
that side of your mind. If you read into and

(21:27):
how they come up with, uh, you know, the history
of your of your uh sign right, you know, then
we start looking for it. It's like, oh, I'm a
little bit like that. Oh yeah, exactly, and then that
offers an explanation of you know, it gives everybody explanation.
Oh the reason I'm this way is because you know,
I'm twins.

Speaker 5 (21:45):
I remember when I when we were kids, it was
always like in the paper, right, like like you're if
you're if you're Aquarius, this is what's going to happen today.
And I remember my mom or my dad read it
to us, you know, so, and so I'm like, well,
like this must be real because it's in the paper
and the reading it me and I think I got
to a certain point, I'm like, wait a minute, this
is no way this could be.

Speaker 3 (22:04):
This could be real.

Speaker 5 (22:05):
But U so it's having a resurgence because of social media.

Speaker 7 (22:08):
Not a resurgence. This is dominating, dude. Like I guarantee you, everybody,
all of us, we've all done it. We've found that
one person. Then you're like, oh, this person gets me.
They read me so perfectly through this app. And then
they'll do this readings and they'll do the they'll even
do the Touro cards and everything. They mix all of
that together, and uh, you know, if you find the
person that that seems to let you off the hook

(22:31):
the most.

Speaker 5 (22:32):
Right and then and then I remember it used to
be a big thing, like with dating, like okay, well,
what what signs are you? With these signs Matt, Oh
you're Aquarius, Well I'm a Taurus. Those matched together, you know,
kind of a thing. And I don't know if they
still do that anymore, but I did notice that it
was a big deal on my my show. Prep was
that it today's the luckiest day of the year because

(22:52):
let's see, what did it say? Because uh, sun and Jupiter.
I guess the Sun and Jupiter align on this day.

Speaker 1 (22:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (23:00):
Ever, I think the Sun and Jupiter are always aligned,
don't they. I don't know, but anyway, I guess not
the sun. The Sun brings clarity today, abundance and luck
for those for all of us.

Speaker 3 (23:13):
Everybody's lucky today, so.

Speaker 5 (23:14):
Nobody should have a bad day if we're going by astrology.

Speaker 7 (23:18):
And uh yeah, uh I'm saying, I'm telling you them.
You think I'm messing around. Uh once to get out
of here, I'm driving on my way home and stop
in stopping my favorite bodega and pick up some lottery tickets.

Speaker 5 (23:32):
Okay, that's not a bad idea. Yeah, I mean, listen,
it could be a lucky day. So I wonder if
when people read that and they think it's gonna be
a lucky day, so then they kind of look out
for lucky things to reaffirm that it's lucky.

Speaker 7 (23:44):
All right, So if you buy it, Okay, So this
is where the this rangel goes off with the deep
end to this as well. Right, I entertained some of it,
not all of it, but right, So if you wake
up this today, right and you're reading this and you're like,
today's a lucky day, yeah, right, and that damn miracles right,
and then and it changes your energy, right, and it

(24:05):
causes you to walk out your door and you're like
saying yes, right and bringing this energy into you right, yeah,
and that builds and that helps, and that does then
you kind of can't discount it.

Speaker 5 (24:17):
Just like Friday the thirteen. Oh, this is a day
at batlace. So if you walk out, you walk out of.

Speaker 7 (24:23):
The door and you're thinking negative things and you think
something negative is going to happen, then you're going to attract.
This it's my basic oversimplification of the law of attraction.
So if I'm trying to be positive, I agree with that,
and I try to, you know, at least keep a
positive open mind. Then I tend to think good things happen.

Speaker 5 (24:44):
And imagine if an alien comes down lands planet and
it asks you, okay, no, what is this?

Speaker 3 (24:49):
What is this day of miracles? Why is this the
luckiest day to here?

Speaker 5 (24:52):
And you try to explain to the alien, Well, because
of astrology, because of the way the moon is like, they.

Speaker 3 (24:58):
Have me in cuffs walking that to his president.

Speaker 7 (25:01):
You guys are moron. This is the dumbest planet on
the face of the Earth or the universe, of all
the galaxies of all the galaxy.

Speaker 3 (25:09):
You guys are the dumbest of all. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (25:12):
People in Texas and walterm Marcavo waltim Mercado was a
a I mean incredibly hugely famous. I thought you might
have watched his documentary a few years ago, Wrested I
forget the name of it, but there was the He
was a Puerto Rican guy that would come on TV
and he would do we told you about it because
Savannah and I watched it.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (25:30):
He would do the readings and ostrological signs and everything
on TV.

Speaker 3 (25:35):
Yeah, I do, I do think I remember that.

Speaker 7 (25:37):
Mica though, was the guy's name. He was incredibly popular.
I like, like my grandma, my grandma and some of
my aunts. Uh, they like his show would come on.

Speaker 3 (25:48):
Like late at night.

Speaker 7 (25:49):
Yeah, and it was a star walker.

Speaker 3 (25:50):
Was that the same guy? No?

Speaker 7 (25:52):
No, that was yeah, but it was like their version
of mussy TV. You know, they would like, what we
gotta watch my wife then?

Speaker 3 (25:59):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah your zodiac sign?

Speaker 5 (26:03):
Uh so yeah, if you believe in the zodiac or
in astrology, it is a lucky day.

Speaker 3 (26:09):
So so it would be a good day to buy.

Speaker 5 (26:11):
Oh man, so I swear I should have this weekend
I bet on the Indiana Fever on Friday, right, and
I've did one of those crazy bets angel where it
was like, Okay, they had to win, and then Caitlyn
Clark had to get three three pointers, and then Mitchell
had to get three three pointers, and both of the

(26:31):
both of the team, both of the girls had the
three pointers, but they went into overtime, and I'm like, like,
Kaitlyn Clark hits a three point shot with one second left,
They're go into overtime. I'm like, guess they're gonna win.
And they end up losing by two points. And I
didn't win. So then I was mad last night and
I'm like, well, I'm not betting day I lost. You know,
I lost twenty five dollars last week, and then last

(26:51):
night they win. I gotta stop. I gotta stop gambling.
Wasn't lucky. Wasn't lucky?

Speaker 3 (26:57):
That was my point.

Speaker 7 (26:59):
The Storm.

Speaker 5 (27:00):
They beat the Storm last night? Yeah, yeah, and and
and they look great. I mean I kind of watching
it on that, but I didn't bet on it. I'm
a bad gambler.

Speaker 3 (27:08):
No, it's not. Again.

Speaker 7 (27:09):
It goes to my point, you should not be betting on
your team, on your favorite team. Hmm, that's it. But
again that's my own personal rule. That's why it was fun.

Speaker 1 (27:17):
Though.

Speaker 5 (27:18):
It was fun Friday night because I had bet on
it and if I if we if we won, i'd
want it was like three hundred bucks or something. I
was like, oh, this is great, uh because I think
I bet I bet a hundred yeah. Uh And then
they lost, so I was like, damn it man. Uh
uh So I now I don't even think I want
to bet at all. Oh, Star Hustler, that was the guy,
Thank you very much. Russ might be thinking of Star Hustler,

(27:40):
but he wasn't Puerto Rican. Yeah, I think it was
Jack something like I used to walk and I think
they used to talk about the astrology as well.

Speaker 3 (27:50):
Do they still do.

Speaker 5 (27:50):
I don't get the paper. I haven't gotten the paper yet.
There they still put astrology and the zodiac.

Speaker 7 (27:57):
It's easy, it's free, it's a service, and you just
added onto the page. Yeah. But like I said, I kid,
you not rust in one break type in your sign
and watch that all the people that pop in your feed,
and then you got to start like understand this rush
when you're in that betting app right, and they and
they do those bets with all the pro the prop
bets in there, right, they know that that those are

(28:18):
all long shots and that they throw on there.

Speaker 3 (28:21):
That's what they do to entice you. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (28:23):
So like if you bet your team straight up and
straight down to win, I should have just done that, right,
or let's say take the points of what or whatnot
because I didn't I don't know what the spread was
in the last game. That is a little bit more
helpful than trying to get the wins because I know,
and that's how they lure all of us. Look, I'm
guilty of falling for prop bets on top of my
bets as well, because you're like, oh my god, they

(28:43):
could do that. They can do that, and they can
do that because the return on those are bigger and
you're like, okay, off my fifty bucks, I can win
three fifty what.

Speaker 5 (28:50):
Yeah, that's where I'm going. Yeah, because I just bet
they're gonna win. You only went like a little bit
or what.

Speaker 7 (28:56):
But I'll remember that the house wouldn't put that bet
up unless they the odds were in their favor. Yeah,
you know, so just I would I would say, just
keep that part of it in mind.

Speaker 5 (29:05):
It is likely but both women did make the three
point shots they needed to.

Speaker 7 (29:08):
They were on fire. And then, uh what pushed it
into overtime?

Speaker 3 (29:12):
What was it? Kayla Colox layup? Kayla a layup?

Speaker 5 (29:14):
It was a three point shot into overtime. Yeah, it
was an exciting game.

Speaker 7 (29:18):
I really sent into overtime and then and made her
hit her part of that bet.

Speaker 3 (29:22):
No, she had already hit. She already hit her three pointers.
She was she was.

Speaker 5 (29:25):
I think she had five three pointers that night and
Mitchell had she had three. And anyway, I'm all into
that team now. I like all the players. I like,
you know, if I end up liking the players and stuff,
that makes it fun for me. But uh uh anyway,
A right, well, take a little break, don't go anywhere.
You're listening in the max of the morning, people from

(29:49):
the texting service are checking in. You can text us
at seven seven zero three one, and then a lot
of times I'll text you back, and Angel will text
you back. Somebody just you know, we're talking about being
the luckiest day of the year. Okay, you know, according
to astrology, day of Miracles, luckiest day of the year.
Guy says, my grandda, No, my daughter's grandfather won twenty

(30:10):
five thousand dollars last week on the lottery. That's a
pretty good little chunk nice, not too much, but it's
but it's it's just enough.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
You know.

Speaker 7 (30:19):
I did twenty five k for a lot of people.
Twentieth Angel included. That makes it a good year. Yeah
that adds.

Speaker 5 (30:25):
Yeah, really, twenty five thousand dollars, that's that's pretty good.
I haven't heard about anyone that I've known winning the
lottery in a long time.

Speaker 3 (30:35):
You know.

Speaker 7 (30:35):
Yeah, I'm going to think of the last Like we've
had some people texting induced good in casinos and things
like that. But well, you know why because we always
hear about the guys that win the thousand dollars, right,
you know yeah, yeah, which is last week of that.
We get a lot of that.

Speaker 5 (30:50):
Now. I know you're not watching this, but one of
the things that was big, big deal if you were
a Yellowstone fan. It was on Friday, Dunton Ranch came out.
Dunton Ranch is basically like, listen, we couldn't keep Kevin Costner,
we kind of have to change the show. It's basically
Yellowstone just without Kevin Costner, same same story basically, but

(31:12):
they did something and.

Speaker 3 (31:13):
It's because Sheridan isn't writing this one, is he.

Speaker 5 (31:15):
Okay, Okay, Sheraton is not writing Marshals, which is on CBS,
which is terrible. It's not I mean, they've written it
like CSI, you know, the CSI shows.

Speaker 3 (31:26):
It's written like that.

Speaker 5 (31:28):
The characters there, and they sometimes talk about people from Yellowstone,
but it's just not overwhelmingly people that like Yellowstone do
not like Marshals. It's not good. But this one is now,
you know what. It's not really written by Taylor Sheraton though,
but it is just as good. It really. It's like, oh,
finally we're back to you know, Rip has already beat

(31:49):
somebody up. There's already somebody murdered, you know, Beth is
already into a fight with somebody. Is like, this is
this is what I've been missing. You know, two episodes
they dropped, but here's the one different. So this might
be a hot take and this might make some people mad,
but I just I'm just telling you, wow, I feel
one of the beautiful things about Yellowstone was they were
in Montana, right, and a lot of the scenery is

(32:12):
them riding horses in Montana, and the beautiful you know,
beautiful hills and the mountains and just the beauty of Montana,
which is a state I never paid attention to. I
never really knew much about Montana, didn't know what went
on there. You know, you just really never saw or
paid attention or whatever. But now they have to move
to Texas. Angel Ain't nothing beautiful in Texas. I mean

(32:34):
I mean, I mean, I mean the landscape they're showing,
it's all like dirty, like just dusty sand. There's rattlesnakes everywhere.
You don't have the beauty of Montana. And I'm wondering
if that is going to end up hurting the show.
I had a feeling that part of the reason Yellowstone

(32:54):
was so you know, so well liked, was how beautiful
the kind of the scenery was.

Speaker 7 (33:00):
I have never seen anything beautiful in Texas. And I
know people are that are from Texas, y'all are mad
at me right now. And I know people that love Texas,
you know they're from Texas.

Speaker 3 (33:08):
They just love it.

Speaker 7 (33:08):
It's you know, whatever for whatever reason they have drinking
that they drink that the kool aid, that Texas is
the best state in the you know, but it is
not pretty.

Speaker 3 (33:20):
It's just like just dusty, you know.

Speaker 5 (33:22):
Like nothing to look at. Matter of fact, they even
do a scene where she's like, well, I always see
her is always see a sky for miles and miles.
There's nothing to see. There's no mountains, there's no trees.
Tumble weeds and dirty dust. That's all you got. Yeah, yeah,
that's that's Texas. Do you think that will hurt the
show itself because you don't have beautiful scenery like you

(33:43):
had in in Yellowstone?

Speaker 7 (33:46):
If I had to guess, it probably would. Yeah, you know, uh,
you know, but I mean, if you're it's a good
cowboy story, it's a good cowboy story.

Speaker 3 (33:53):
It's a good range store, it's a good ranch story.

Speaker 1 (33:55):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (33:55):
You're the first person I've heard say, oh, one of
the things I liked about Yellowstone was the landscapes. I did, okay, rightfully,
So and then maybe it's that's why it's jarring to
you between the two.

Speaker 5 (34:04):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (34:05):
But uh, if I figure if the writing's close enough
to Tyler Sheridan and the action is good enough that
most people are going to overlook.

Speaker 5 (34:11):
That, Yeah, first two episodes are great. I mean, and
you know, and that Benning is like that one of
the villains that's in it. And and she's a great villain.
I never would have thought of her as being a villain,
but she's a great villain. Uh, to go up against Beth,
who's like the you know this.

Speaker 7 (34:23):
Uh what do they is the city or the town
or wherever that they're at or is it a made
up place or is it a real place?

Speaker 5 (34:31):
You know, I don't know enough about Texas to answer that,
but it seems like it's its little po dunk town.

Speaker 3 (34:37):
I just like in the middle of nowhere.

Speaker 7 (34:38):
Do they reference like like do they reference oh, you know,
we got to drive to Dallas or we got to
go to Houston.

Speaker 5 (34:43):
Or yeah, yeah, yeah, And it probably is real because
everything in in uh you know a Yellowstone from Montana
where they were real little towns.

Speaker 3 (34:51):
In the city. Yeah, because I mean West Texas is tough.

Speaker 7 (34:53):
And if that's like they're near the border, Okay, that's yeah,
that's tough too.

Speaker 3 (34:58):
Yeah, whatever is they're near the border?

Speaker 5 (35:00):
Uh and uh and uh, they've already had this situation,
you know, because the one guy Rip doesn't speak Spanish
and he's mad. He's mad, he's mad that his hands
are speaking Spanish. Well, you're talking Spanish. For you know,
which is probably something that has happened before, you know.
Uh but uh but yeah, it's it's just the look
of Texas. Now, if you're from Texas, I'm sure you
love it. Uh, but I don't see the appeal now

(35:23):
you lived there for a while.

Speaker 7 (35:24):
Right, yeah, we were witch Tap Falls though there it was.
I mean, that's uh the lovingly referred to as Tornado Alley.

Speaker 3 (35:31):
Right, so it's flat.

Speaker 7 (35:32):
A tornado alley when all well it does it goes
all the way through the ozarks and stuff, right, I
know that it went from Fort Silo, Oklahoma to which
Tough Falls, Texas. Gotcha, Yeah, that's where we uh part
of it that we lived in, and uh it was flat.

Speaker 3 (35:46):
It was dry and dusty, dry and brown. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (35:51):
Well, uh, you know a lot of people saying, well,
the story is so good that the landscape is not
gonna matter that much.

Speaker 3 (35:57):
Uh. I don't know.

Speaker 5 (35:57):
I have a feeling that that was a little bit
of this sess of Yellowstone.

Speaker 3 (36:02):
Was that the hill your scenery.

Speaker 7 (36:05):
Yeah, there's a reason why you picked that part of
the country, you are that part of the world to
shoot that kind of story, obviously, because it helps convey
that Uh, because there's a lore.

Speaker 3 (36:13):
There's a lore about.

Speaker 7 (36:14):
You know, Montana and all that stuff, and that part
uh that we don't know about because you know, you know,
there's only a couple of cities or whatnot. So it
adds credibility to that. You know, most people think of
Texas and I don't know if they think of a
ranch and up front as much as they think of
all the oil fields or oil men from Texas, you know, but.

Speaker 5 (36:33):
There is I mean, obviously there is still still a
lot of ranching going on in Texas.

Speaker 7 (36:37):
Yeah it's not you know, they don't have a fancy romance,
uh romance behind it.

Speaker 5 (36:42):
But if it's so it's like once again, I've only
been there a couple of times, like to Dallas into
San Antonio or whatever. But I mean, uh, if it
is so dusty and dry, how do the cattle stay alive?

Speaker 1 (36:53):
There?

Speaker 5 (36:53):
There were I mean, like it doesn't even seem like
there's grass. This looks like there's old dust. Well isn't
that part of the whole part of it? The right,
and there's you got to feed them obviously, and ye, yeah.

Speaker 3 (37:06):
They're not eating grass, they're eating feed. That's okay.

Speaker 5 (37:08):
That was one of the scenes where they had to
go and pick up all the feed and put it
in the big long things.

Speaker 3 (37:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (37:12):
Uh in the troughs. Yeah, they're not eating grass like
they do in Montana. And then again, remember I just
thrown this in. It's a TV show. Yeah, and yeah,
I think Taylor Sheridan though, like tries to. But it's
not written by Tail. This one's not written by Taylor. Yeah,
I think it is. He's producing it, and you're right,
he's not. He's not the one of the writers. But
I canna tell you that Marshall's thing is terrible. It's

(37:32):
bad and and and when you go online and you
see everybody you know to trash their trash and Marshalls, Yeah, horribly.
But I guess it still is doing well on CBS
because people on CBS like c S I, so it's
it's sort of like that, that kind of version of it.

Speaker 7 (37:48):
I don't like it. I can't even finish watching it.

Speaker 5 (37:51):
It's so bad. I can't watch it. But uh, but uh,
the Dutton ranch is great. First two episodes, like, yes,
finally I got to show back that. Uh, and they'd
make you. They give you the first two shows Angel
and then you gotta wait every week to get a
new one.

Speaker 3 (38:04):
Yeah, that's what they did with the New Punisher stuff.
They get you hooked.

Speaker 7 (38:08):
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know if you're gonna
did you'd like the Punisher at all?

Speaker 1 (38:12):
No?

Speaker 7 (38:13):
Yeah, then you're not gonna like this because it's definitely
graphic and violent. Yeah, absolutely awesome.

Speaker 5 (38:17):
Something wrong with me, man, I don't like graphic and
violent anymore too. I've seen I don't know, uh, but
but a silly soap opera, A silly soap opera about
a guy on a ranch.

Speaker 7 (38:27):
I'm all into you. Shout out to the Texas.

Speaker 3 (38:30):
That are are are.

Speaker 7 (38:32):
Reminding me of this, and this is absolutely right. And
I don't know if this story's placed anywhere near their rest,
but like west of Austin, a little bit south of
Fort Worth, it's called the Texas Hill Country. Yeah, and
that is probably the most beautiful part of Texas, with
awesome green vegetation, very hilly, different climate, terrains and everything.

(38:52):
And it's, uh, that's like when they do Photo West
pictures of Texas, they always make it a point to
include that part of Texas.

Speaker 5 (38:59):
Well, they did not use that on this particular show yet.
And they might you know that I do it at
some point, but at this point I say, thank you
guys for sending that in because you guys are right, yeah, yeah,
it's it is really good though. A right, well, that's
part of Austin. That's why Austin is so beautiful is
because it's got some green. It's got the greenery front
from that that that that part of the region. All right,
we're gonna we're gonna do some trivia when we come back,
so your chance to win some stuff. The telephone number
