This week, I take a stroll down memory lane—Chicago summers as a kid, where living near Madigan felt like political trip to the amusement park (minus the funnel cakes & bribery charges). I dive into my son’s very serious investigation into who’s hotter, recap his unexpected transformation into a school bus superhero, and yes, the cats have officially started acting like actual dogs… metaphorically (for now).
Big shoutout to the Sportsbook for the clutch tickets—proving once again, the way to my heart is through premium seating. All that and whatever else falls out of my brain mid-recording.

see it forming. You could see the flabbnists. Hey, I
(01:26):
was beginning to build my dadbod early, That's what I
was doing. Yeah, So you know what inspired this podcast
this week was the fact that Mike Madigan Mike Madigan
was sentenced to seven and a half years for bribery charges.
And the tie into this is we used to live
(01:50):
as a kid in the city Chicago, Westlawn Park neighborhood,
and Mike Madigan, who was the speaker of the house
at that time, lived down the block. He had a
mansion and it was located on sixty fourth and Keeler,
and uh yeah, he lived on the end of the
street and it was one of those houses where you
(02:12):
would pass so you would you would be like, whoa,
that's so cool. It was a really cool cool thing.
That excuse me, the hell was that? Going through puberty
again here on the air? All right? So, uh where
was I at? Now? The whole throat thinch threw me off. Halloween.
(02:34):
They used to have a great decorations out for Halloween.
I remember that as a kid growing up with Madigan,
and they used to invite you in your house. When
you got a trick or treat candy. You went in
and they would bribe you and then well, if you
really want that candy, it's going to be fifty bucks.
(02:56):
Her dad works at the railroad, so he's not making
budch so for you, we're gonna specialize it to get
twenty five dollars. But you had that stickers by a
fat boy. Daddy goes to pay up. I know that
wasn't it. No, you go inside and the house was
decorated as well, so they really enjoyed their their Halloween.
(03:17):
But yeah, uh he had a mansion right on the
corner there, you know, where we lived. And I remember
growing up a lot of kids in neighborhood, a lot
of fun, fun people in the neighborhood growing up, you know.
And I'm gonna talk about that here, uh in just
a little bit about it. But the one thing that
they did is they had a lot of squirrels over there,
(03:38):
and you know, you live in the Cities, they had
a lot of a lot of squirrels and they were
setting out traps for the squirrels to trap the squirrels
just to I don't know why. I don't know, why
do I have to testify now because he has like
a you know, potential like animal capture thing now that
he just admitted that, I don't got time for quartets.
(03:59):
But I remember me and the other kids in the
neighborhood would try to release the squirrels. We would try
to release the squirrels out into their their free world.
Let him squirreling around, you know. And I remember that.
And I also remember they had a TV on the
back patio. I thought that was pretty cool. I was like, oh,
(04:20):
they have a TV outside, What the fuck? That's awesome.
Mike Madigan seven and a half years. Family was nice.
Family was nice. You know, politicians sometimes they just can't
keep their hands out of that cookie jar, the cookie jars. Rather,
who's eating the cookie from the cook? Who's still the cook? Right?
(04:40):
Who's still the cookie from the cookie jar? Mike Madigan did,
who me? Yes? You? Oh fuck, I just brought back
PTSD of school stuff on the bus. They would sing
that song and they would call you, and I fucking
would regret regret it. Right. I was like, Jesus Christ,
(05:02):
don't call on me. I'm introverted and I'm shy, and
I know I have ADHD or autism. But this is
the nineties and we're not gonna get diagnosed, So please
leave me alone. Please leave me alone. You know, I
am a person who enjoys a little bit of you know,
a humor. Right, you've heard this podcast. Hopefully there's sometimes
(05:22):
in this podcast. So you laugh and you have a
good time and you enjoy yourself. But the one thing
that I'm going to do is have a little fun
at myself because I poke fun of a lot of people,
but I mostly poke fun of myself, and it's a
whole in good good nature. And there's a video of
me dancing as a kid, and the picture you see,
(05:45):
it's just a dance move that I was just cracking
down on and my dad back in the day captured
that moment. So I'm gonna be sharing that moment of
me dancing here soon, a little VHS retro nineties thing
for all of you folks out there. And those flabs
are just formed because of ice cream trucks along the years.
(06:06):
You know, back in the day, ice cream trucks that
was a big thing, right, they were the big thing.
So it was one of those things where you know,
the ice cream truck would come out if you had
change on you, you would go for fifty cents to
get yourself an ice cream and it was fun. It
was fun. I know our neighbors, we had great neighbors,
and they were very protective of everybody. They were police
(06:29):
officers and they were just great people. And I remember
even the ice cream trucks, they were like, you know,
don't go behind it, because that was at a time
where ice cream trucks were a little bit dangerous. Like
I think there was a story they came out that
an ice cream truck, you know, accidentally back backed into
a child. I believe the child passed away. I don't remember.
(06:49):
I don't know, not in our area though, not in
our neighborhood. I know. For those that are like tuning in,
like seven minutes in, they're like, this is confusing, what
are you talking about? But yeah, it's just a fun
time when time growing up, we had a lot of
get togethers at grandma and Grandpa's, a lot of times
over at my dad's side and with Grandma Gigi and
(07:11):
just just a great bunch of people and just sitting
on in the backyard drinking you know, sodas. You know,
we got to have soda Grandma and Grandpa so Pepsi's
and you who's were big And my grandpa worked at
what they call the Clover Club and it's kind of
like a modern day Binni's, but a little bit bigger,
(07:32):
I guess that's the best way to put it. And
he used to work there, so you been visiting him
in him in the summer and just a great time.
They had a great block party one year. It was
fun and then there was this couple that came out
and they were very just just just you know, probably
my mi cup of tea, you know, like me, a
little awkward, a little introverted, and they would watch the
(07:54):
thunderstorms are rolling. That was their thing. Later to find out,
I think they had a murder suicide. It is so well, Yeah,
I don't mean to bring this podcast down to the sadness. Sadness, Uh,
sorry about that, Sorry about that, but no, yeah, I
(08:14):
love I love the neighborhood. I loved it. I loved it. Uh.
That's where I had my first crush, my first crush,
and her name was April, and it's probably where I
fell in love with you know. Uh, I don't know
how to put this, like blonds right, the best way
(08:35):
to put it right? I'm not sugarco with that. How
do you how do you sugarcote that I fell in
love with blondes. She was very pretty older, uh and
just blue eyes, blond hair. Mm hmmmmm mmmmmm. Yeah, first
(08:59):
CRUSH's reming your first crush, you always do. And she
had a great sister and I remember having a conversation
with her sister because at that time, at that time,
you know, as kids. There was the popular show right
in Living Color. Everybody enjoyed a Living Color. Everybody had
a great time. Living Color was funny. And there was
Homie the Clown remember him on there? Uh, played by
(09:20):
is it one of the one of the Wayne brothers, right,
and uh there was actually a time where there was
a person who was driving around a white van and
he was dressed like Homie the Clown, handing out candy
and he would be kiddy at kidnapping kids. Yeah, that's
what that was going on. I know this this podcast
is really really a Debbie Downer today. I don't feel
(09:46):
the positive vibes flowing on this podcast just yet. I don't.
I just don't feel it. I just don't feel it.
Maybe soon, but yeah, I don't know if they ever
captured Humber what. But I mean I was I was
a target because when somebody's telling you this story, like
like oh my god, and I'm like, back up, he
said free candy, free candy. You said, hold on Wednesday
(10:09):
a free candy just to get kidnap free candy, candy,
kidnap candy, kidnap candy. I was a fat kid. You
see how you've seen the pictures of the flaps. You
see him, You see him right there? Yeah, April, wo
my crush, blonde hair, blue eyes. Son. He's nine years
old right now, right, And I think I was about
(10:31):
uh and that that time frame with the first cross,
I think I was about eight nine years old, eight
or nine, right. He said, Dad, I have a serious
question for you if you're sitting down on the deck
on a beautiful morning. And I said, yes, Son, please
tell me what your question is. And he goes, who's hotter?
Lifeguards or nurses? All right, that's a that's a question.
(10:56):
I have to bond her hair not to ponder because,
like you know, I probably you know, I'm a guy,
so I probably had the answer somewhere stored away. But
you know, the thing is is it's it's it's also
you know, it's my wife's and nurse all right, So
I've seen her in the nurse's garbage. I'm you know,
(11:27):
we keep that stuff around just in case we need
to spice life up a little bit. Uh, kitty, never
what oh this is this is a this is a
bag of bag of nuts here on this podcast. And yeah,
I was just I was shocked. I was shocked. I
was shocked, and I'm like, lifeguards, you know, bring it
(11:50):
back the nineties with family Anderson and everything like lifeguards.
And I think I think I think it's you know,
because he goes to the pool, right, we have we
have memberships at the pool, and he sees all those
lifeguards and I think he's like, hmmm, oh buh so. Yeah.
But everything comes out with him in either weird times
(12:12):
where you're not expecting things to pop up, like I
wasn't expecting me I didn't have like a second cup
of coffee again, and he's asking who's hotter. He's like
pulling me. It's like the it's like the god damn
mancho all over. I'm like, wow, no, I don't know.
And then you know, besides that, everything comes out at night.
I know. I've talked to a lot of people and
they're like, yeah, our kid like dumps everything that's been
(12:35):
in his brain beforehand, and you know, before like the
last seventeen hours, he just drops it eye and he did.
He dropped it on me. But it wasn't a story
that I was upset with. It was actually extremely proud,
proud of this story he was telling me. During the
school year, he was on the bus and somebody put
(12:57):
one of the younger kids, a first grader, in a headlock.
And he was telling me that he stuck up for
that first grader and he told the guy leave him alone.
He's only in first grade, don't do that to him.
And I didn't nobody knew that story. My wife didn't
even know that story. But when he says a story
like that, you're like, oh, my god, as a parent,
I'm actually doing pretty good. I'm doing pretty good as
(13:21):
a parent. I'm doing pretty good, you know, because stuff
like that, it's just just amazes you the resilience of
these kids, and you know, you know, it's like he
could have he could have like came home and said
what he did, and he and he didn't, like, he
wasn't even this is school's been out over a month,
and then he brings it up now. So I was
(13:41):
very very proud of him, very very proud of him.
And he was talking about also a story how the
bus driver ignored him. There was this purple sticky thing
under the seat that him and his friend discovered. So
and I think it was like gum. And during one
of the stops letting the kids off, my son walked
over and said, hey, we got a problem, purple sticky
things under there, and he said the bus driver ignored him,
(14:03):
which I kind of cided a little bit with the
bus driver because you have you're letting kids off the bus.
There's cars coming left and right. You're trying to make
sure you know they're crossing safely, and uh so I
know he was like, you know, aggravated the bus driver.
And I tried to explain to him, like, you know,
even though it's a bus stop, they you know, they
(14:24):
got a lot, all these kids off and everything, so
you gotta be a little bit careful. You gotta be
careful with the kiddos. You never know, you never know,
so you gotta pay attention, right, you know. One it's
just it's just scary, scary. So I'm like, I know
you're talking about your purple sticky thing under your seat,
but that that little bit of OCD you have that
(14:45):
you got from your dad, which I'm sorry you could
just be hold off for just a second, a second
or two. I want to go back to Father's Day
from last week is a quick recap, because I forgot
to mention that. So we got some fried chicken from
Cracker Brail and Cracker Bails. Not a sponsor, wish you
were a sponsor. It was the best fucking fried chicken
that I have ever received and I ever ate in
(15:08):
my entire fucking life. And I'm talking, this was some
good fried chicken. Now, I do apologize. I was about
to yawn there, and it's not really a good indication
of the podcast, like your podcast host should not yawn
(15:28):
on his podcast, right, That's just how it is. It's
bad promotion. But I'll tell you something and I'll be
very transparent. I'm recording this today on a Sunday, and
I'm just not having a great day. It's a little
bit over anxious, a little bit depressed, just not having
(15:49):
a good moment. I've had a good three weeks before that,
I was a little rough. So just having a rough moment.
So I took a Xanax. But I forget to realize
that I don't take xanax very off and when I
take a Xanax it makes me very sleepy. So that's
what I'm battling with. So if you hear the yawn,
it's not because I'm like this thing sucks and I'm
just trying to get through it. No, it's because I'm
(16:11):
just a little little sleepy, little little tie with the xanax.
The Zanni is kicking my fanny, all right. But no,
it was the best fried chicken ever. It really really was.
It was so good, so spiced correctly in the heat
and the warmth and mm hmmm, cracker barrel family meals.
Check it out. Very good, very good. Well, you hear
(16:36):
me complain about shorts and clothes all the time on
this podcast because I can never, ever, ever, ever seemingly
find a pair of clothes that fits good. I don't
know what it is, and it's part of it's being
overweight and and all that, but it's it's just I
can never I never could be happy with clothes. I
never was as a kid. I never am now. I
just thing's got to fit perfectly, and I need to
(16:58):
come to the realization they're not. Everything's gonna fit perfectly.
So uh, I got new shorts. I found a pair
of new shorts, got some good reviews. I bought them
and they were all good. They're all good. They're very nice.
You could wear them like with a polo and it
just looked really nice, you know. The church shorts maybe
we could even call them. But those motherfuckers give me wedgies. Yes,
(17:20):
they give me wedgies. So there's like no complaints about them, Like,
you know, the length is good, the fit is good.
The only complain is it pulls my under a wear
up like a G string. Like I'm surprised Cisco doesn't
pop out a go thong the thong dlunk thong. Ooh,
those shorts were tight, called my weggie own not a thong,
A thong flungk thonge. That's like the best I can
(17:42):
If anex wasn't in my head, that probably would have
been a little bit more longer, a little bit more funnier.
A thong of thong dunk thonge. Oh, his shorts are
scant lists Jesus uh uh, he's got dumped like a
truck truck truck. Wait, he's are stuck, stuck stuck Now
(18:07):
he's got to pull him out. Yeah, so I don't know.
So I'm still on the search for new shirts, you know, clothes.
So if you're a fellow fatty like me, I'll buy
you a burger if you can tell me some outfits
that you wear that you feel comfortable in. Yeah. So yeah,
(18:28):
but a lot of a lot of stuff's going on,
a lot of stuff's going on. It's been crazy times,
crazy times. We have the dogs, and if you learned
last week, the dogs are actual cats. It's Moose and Nemo.
And but I call my dogs because my rider dies
and Moose. I've noticed he is definitely like an old
(18:50):
soul soul, but also like a dog, Like he's an
old This is like an old dog. You know, how
you have a doll. We just will crawl up next
to you and just you know, everything will be okay.
You know. The only a tendency that he has that
he's not really a dog is he doesn't like he
doesn't like table scraps, which is understandable. You know. He's like, yeah,
(19:11):
maybe you know, maybe he has different taste taste buds
and I don't know, I don't know. They have those
magic tongues. You know, they clean themselves and they're like fresh,
fresh as a daisy. So a little like that, a
couple of lecks and they're good, they're good to go. Uh.
(19:32):
And then Nemo he is like a dog too, but
he's like a new soul dog. Nemo likes to watch TV.
Nemo likes the table scraps this week alone. He's already
stole Leo's piece of pizza and his waffle, so he's
like a dowel eating at the table. So I got
my my dogs about Moose, who's gonna sit there, and like,
(19:53):
at least fuck I started barking. I wouldn't. I wouldn't
even think twice about it. We got Moose, who's there
to snug a lout. I'll let you know that everything
will be okay. And then we got a Nemo, who is, uh,
the guy that's gonna watch TV and we we're gonna
snack with him. The thing stays in. He's shy still,
(20:14):
he's trying to still get over it. But if you
have food, he's coming out to talk to you. So
he is, He's like, hey, what are you doing to
get table scraps? I'm coming out with the fuck you
eating with the fuck you in? You know? And I could.
I don't know, maybe I'm paranoid, but I hear that
the conversations I think in my head between Moose and Emo, like,
you know, Moose is like, well before he was in
(20:36):
this fucker would bound out cake like it's going out
of style. Have you read a cake and then he was like,
I've never heard a cake prefer I never had a
cake cake. I love a piece of cake, not as
not as car smart stuff. This cake, that's what I imagine.
I don't know. I want to give a big thank
you to Caesar sports Book. Thank you see your sports book?
(20:58):
So uh as we know, I five dollar frank and
a Metro Gambler, all that fun stuff that I do.
You know, you have a good time with it. And
I was on sea the sports book. They had a
promotion they were running where if you put a parlay
down you enter for a chance to win White Sox
tickets in the suite, which is awesome. And I didn't win,
(21:21):
but they were so kind enough to email me and say,
you know, hey, you didn't win, but we still have
two tickets for the suite. Do you want to go?
It's first come for a serve. And then I texted
them back and or emailed them back and they're like, sorry, man,
we're now sold out. And I said, okay, no problems,
but they go, well, we have tickets to the suite

was a big thing, right, they were the big thing.
So it was one of those things where you know,
the ice cream truck would come out if you had
change on you, you would go for fifty cents to
get yourself an ice cream and it was fun. It
was fun. I know our neighbors, we had great neighbors,
and they were very protective of everybody. They were police
(06:29):
officers and they were just great people. And I remember
even the ice cream trucks, they were like, you know,
don't go behind it, because that was at a time
where ice cream trucks were a little bit dangerous. Like
I think there was a story they came out that
an ice cream truck, you know, accidentally back backed into
a child. I believe the child passed away. I don't remember.
(06:49):
I don't know, not in our area though, not in
our neighborhood. I know. For those that are like tuning in,
like seven minutes in, they're like, this is confusing, what
are you talking about? But yeah, it's just a fun
time when time growing up, we had a lot of
get togethers at grandma and Grandpa's, a lot of times
over at my dad's side and with Grandma Gigi and
(07:11):
just just a great bunch of people and just sitting
on in the backyard drinking you know, sodas. You know,
we got to have soda Grandma and Grandpa so Pepsi's
and you who's were big And my grandpa worked at
what they call the Clover Club and it's kind of
like a modern day Binni's, but a little bit bigger,
(07:32):
I guess that's the best way to put it. And
he used to work there, so you been visiting him
in him in the summer and just a great time.
They had a great block party one year. It was
fun and then there was this couple that came out
and they were very just just just you know, probably
my mi cup of tea, you know, like me, a
little awkward, a little introverted, and they would watch the
(07:54):
thunderstorms are rolling. That was their thing. Later to find out,
I think they had a murder suicide. It is so well, Yeah,
I don't mean to bring this podcast down to the sadness. Sadness, Uh,
sorry about that, Sorry about that, but no, yeah, I
(08:14):
love I love the neighborhood. I loved it. I loved it. Uh.
That's where I had my first crush, my first crush,
and her name was April, and it's probably where I
fell in love with you know. Uh, I don't know
how to put this, like blonds right, the best way
(08:35):
to put it right? I'm not sugarco with that. How
do you how do you sugarcote that I fell in
love with blondes. She was very pretty older, uh and
just blue eyes, blond hair. Mm hmmmmm mmmmmm. Yeah, first
(08:59):
CRUSH's reming your first crush, you always do. And she
had a great sister and I remember having a conversation
with her sister because at that time, at that time,
you know, as kids. There was the popular show right
in Living Color. Everybody enjoyed a Living Color. Everybody had
a great time. Living Color was funny. And there was
Homie the Clown remember him on there? Uh, played by
(09:20):
is it one of the one of the Wayne brothers, right,
and uh there was actually a time where there was
a person who was driving around a white van and
he was dressed like Homie the Clown, handing out candy
and he would be kiddy at kidnapping kids. Yeah, that's
what that was going on. I know this this podcast
is really really a Debbie Downer today. I don't feel
(09:46):
the positive vibes flowing on this podcast just yet. I don't.
I just don't feel it. I just don't feel it.
Maybe soon, but yeah, I don't know if they ever
captured Humber what. But I mean I was I was
a target because when somebody's telling you this story, like
like oh my god, and I'm like, back up, he
said free candy, free candy. You said, hold on Wednesday
(10:09):
a free candy just to get kidnap free candy, candy,
kidnap candy, kidnap candy. I was a fat kid. You
see how you've seen the pictures of the flaps. You
see him, You see him right there? Yeah, April, wo
my crush, blonde hair, blue eyes. Son. He's nine years
old right now, right, And I think I was about
(10:31):
uh and that that time frame with the first cross,
I think I was about eight nine years old, eight
or nine, right. He said, Dad, I have a serious
question for you if you're sitting down on the deck
on a beautiful morning. And I said, yes, Son, please
tell me what your question is. And he goes, who's hotter?
Lifeguards or nurses? All right, that's a that's a question.
(10:56):
I have to bond her hair not to ponder because,
like you know, I probably you know, I'm a guy,
so I probably had the answer somewhere stored away. But
you know, the thing is is it's it's it's also
you know, it's my wife's and nurse all right, So
I've seen her in the nurse's garbage. I'm you know,
(11:27):
we keep that stuff around just in case we need
to spice life up a little bit. Uh, kitty, never
what oh this is this is a this is a
bag of bag of nuts here on this podcast. And yeah,
I was just I was shocked. I was shocked. I
was shocked, and I'm like, lifeguards, you know, bring it
(11:50):
back the nineties with family Anderson and everything like lifeguards.
And I think I think I think it's you know,
because he goes to the pool, right, we have we
have memberships at the pool, and he sees all those
lifeguards and I think he's like, hmmm, oh buh so. Yeah.
But everything comes out with him in either weird times
(12:12):
where you're not expecting things to pop up, like I
wasn't expecting me I didn't have like a second cup
of coffee again, and he's asking who's hotter. He's like
pulling me. It's like the it's like the god damn
mancho all over. I'm like, wow, no, I don't know.
And then you know, besides that, everything comes out at night.
I know. I've talked to a lot of people and
they're like, yeah, our kid like dumps everything that's been
(12:35):
in his brain beforehand, and you know, before like the
last seventeen hours, he just drops it eye and he did.
He dropped it on me. But it wasn't a story
that I was upset with. It was actually extremely proud,
proud of this story he was telling me. During the
school year, he was on the bus and somebody put
(12:57):
one of the younger kids, a first grader, in a headlock.
And he was telling me that he stuck up for
that first grader and he told the guy leave him alone.
He's only in first grade, don't do that to him.
And I didn't nobody knew that story. My wife didn't
even know that story. But when he says a story
like that, you're like, oh, my god, as a parent,
I'm actually doing pretty good. I'm doing pretty good as
(13:21):
a parent. I'm doing pretty good, you know, because stuff
like that, it's just just amazes you the resilience of
these kids, and you know, you know, it's like he
could have he could have like came home and said
what he did, and he and he didn't, like, he
wasn't even this is school's been out over a month,
and then he brings it up now. So I was
(13:41):
very very proud of him, very very proud of him.
And he was talking about also a story how the
bus driver ignored him. There was this purple sticky thing
under the seat that him and his friend discovered. So
and I think it was like gum. And during one
of the stops letting the kids off, my son walked
over and said, hey, we got a problem, purple sticky
things under there, and he said the bus driver ignored him,
(14:03):
which I kind of cided a little bit with the
bus driver because you have you're letting kids off the bus.
There's cars coming left and right. You're trying to make
sure you know they're crossing safely, and uh so I
know he was like, you know, aggravated the bus driver.
And I tried to explain to him, like, you know,
even though it's a bus stop, they you know, they
(14:24):
got a lot, all these kids off and everything, so
you gotta be a little bit careful. You gotta be
careful with the kiddos. You never know, you never know,
so you gotta pay attention, right, you know. One it's
just it's just scary, scary. So I'm like, I know
you're talking about your purple sticky thing under your seat,
but that that little bit of OCD you have that
(14:45):
you got from your dad, which I'm sorry you could
just be hold off for just a second, a second
or two. I want to go back to Father's Day
from last week is a quick recap, because I forgot
to mention that. So we got some fried chicken from
Cracker Brail and Cracker Bails. Not a sponsor, wish you
were a sponsor. It was the best fucking fried chicken
that I have ever received and I ever ate in
(15:08):
my entire fucking life. And I'm talking, this was some
good fried chicken. Now, I do apologize. I was about
to yawn there, and it's not really a good indication
of the podcast, like your podcast host should not yawn
(15:28):
on his podcast, right, That's just how it is. It's
bad promotion. But I'll tell you something and I'll be
very transparent. I'm recording this today on a Sunday, and
I'm just not having a great day. It's a little
bit over anxious, a little bit depressed, just not having
(15:49):
a good moment. I've had a good three weeks before that,
I was a little rough. So just having a rough moment.
So I took a Xanax. But I forget to realize
that I don't take xanax very off and when I
take a Xanax it makes me very sleepy. So that's
what I'm battling with. So if you hear the yawn,
it's not because I'm like this thing sucks and I'm
just trying to get through it. No, it's because I'm
(16:11):
just a little little sleepy, little little tie with the xanax.
The Zanni is kicking my fanny, all right. But no,
it was the best fried chicken ever. It really really was.
It was so good, so spiced correctly in the heat
and the warmth and mm hmmm, cracker barrel family meals.
Check it out. Very good, very good. Well, you hear
(16:36):
me complain about shorts and clothes all the time on
this podcast because I can never, ever, ever, ever seemingly
find a pair of clothes that fits good. I don't
know what it is, and it's part of it's being
overweight and and all that, but it's it's just I
can never I never could be happy with clothes. I
never was as a kid. I never am now. I
just thing's got to fit perfectly, and I need to
(16:58):
come to the realization they're not. Everything's gonna fit perfectly.
So uh, I got new shorts. I found a pair
of new shorts, got some good reviews. I bought them
and they were all good. They're all good. They're very nice.
You could wear them like with a polo and it
just looked really nice, you know. The church shorts maybe
we could even call them. But those motherfuckers give me wedgies. Yes,
(17:20):
they give me wedgies. So there's like no complaints about them, Like,
you know, the length is good, the fit is good.
The only complain is it pulls my under a wear
up like a G string. Like I'm surprised Cisco doesn't
pop out a go thong the thong dlunk thong. Ooh,
those shorts were tight, called my weggie own not a thong,
A thong flungk thonge. That's like the best I can
(17:42):
If anex wasn't in my head, that probably would have
been a little bit more longer, a little bit more funnier.
A thong of thong dunk thonge. Oh, his shorts are
scant lists Jesus uh uh, he's got dumped like a
truck truck truck. Wait, he's are stuck, stuck stuck Now
(18:07):
he's got to pull him out. Yeah, so I don't know.
So I'm still on the search for new shirts, you know, clothes.
So if you're a fellow fatty like me, I'll buy
you a burger if you can tell me some outfits
that you wear that you feel comfortable in. Yeah. So yeah,
(18:28):
but a lot of a lot of stuff's going on,
a lot of stuff's going on. It's been crazy times,
crazy times. We have the dogs, and if you learned
last week, the dogs are actual cats. It's Moose and Nemo.
And but I call my dogs because my rider dies
and Moose. I've noticed he is definitely like an old
(18:50):
soul soul, but also like a dog, Like he's an
old This is like an old dog. You know, how
you have a doll. We just will crawl up next
to you and just you know, everything will be okay.
You know. The only a tendency that he has that
he's not really a dog is he doesn't like he
doesn't like table scraps, which is understandable. You know. He's like, yeah,
(19:11):
maybe you know, maybe he has different taste taste buds
and I don't know, I don't know. They have those
magic tongues. You know, they clean themselves and they're like fresh,
fresh as a daisy. So a little like that, a
couple of lecks and they're good, they're good to go. Uh.
(19:32):
And then Nemo he is like a dog too, but
he's like a new soul dog. Nemo likes to watch TV.
Nemo likes the table scraps this week alone. He's already
stole Leo's piece of pizza and his waffle, so he's
like a dowel eating at the table. So I got
my my dogs about Moose, who's gonna sit there, and like,
(19:53):
at least fuck I started barking. I wouldn't. I wouldn't
even think twice about it. We got Moose, who's there
to snug a lout. I'll let you know that everything
will be okay. And then we got a Nemo, who is, uh,
the guy that's gonna watch TV and we we're gonna
snack with him. The thing stays in. He's shy still,
(20:14):
he's trying to still get over it. But if you
have food, he's coming out to talk to you. So
he is, He's like, hey, what are you doing to
get table scraps? I'm coming out with the fuck you
eating with the fuck you in? You know? And I could.
I don't know, maybe I'm paranoid, but I hear that
the conversations I think in my head between Moose and Emo, like,
you know, Moose is like, well before he was in
(20:36):
this fucker would bound out cake like it's going out
of style. Have you read a cake and then he was like,
I've never heard a cake prefer I never had a
cake cake. I love a piece of cake, not as
not as car smart stuff. This cake, that's what I imagine.
I don't know. I want to give a big thank
you to Caesar sports Book. Thank you see your sports book?

I was on sea the sports book. They had a
promotion they were running where if you put a parlay
down you enter for a chance to win White Sox

(21:21):
but they were so kind enough to email me and say,
you know, hey, you didn't win, but we still have
two tickets for the suite. Do you want to go?
It's first come for a serve. And then I texted
them back and or emailed them back and they're like, sorry, man,
