#100 - Music Legends, Engaging Stories, and Personal Connections
Hello Friends,
Today, May 25th, we drop Episode 100.
We could have had tons of people on, fan fair and celebrations, but that's not our style. We stay true to who we are, two friends, who have stood the test of time. Jamming in a living room. Rocking out on Stage. Opening for national drawing acts such as Tony MacAlpine, Enuff Z'Nuff, Marshall Tucker Band, Sacred Reich and so much more. We were a local Arizona Band, Nemesis, which was in development with Metal Blade Records. Scott Conner, William Richard Carr III, Mike Michaels, and myself were a tight group of friends, lovers of music and performing. We were on the cusp and "life happened" and Chris stepped aside. The band moved forward, but was never the same. We lost Scott years ago - unexpectedly. Both Mike and Chris battled their demons, and came out triumphant. Our time on stage was epic. The stories, the life of a Rock n Roll Band is everything you think it is. Life of excess. Parties. Drugs, Drinking and the lot. We APPRECIATE You for taking this newfound journey with us! Without you, these numbers are not possible. Heard in 18 Countries. Over 75,000 plays on YouTube.Some hitting over 11k plays. IG and Facebook pages are thriving.We have guests booked weekly until July this year. From the Bottom of our HEARTS. WE appreciate you. We love you and are here, because you are helping us grow this organically. Here's to the next 100 episodes!

00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,720
And we're live.
We are live.
2
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:10,640
Welcome to the Chris and Mike
show.
3
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:12,560
I'm Chris, he's Mike and we are
here.
4
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,760
Actually recording might be
higher in quality once we
5
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,240
download it and save it to
Spotify, Apple podcast and all
6
00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:20,320
the other.
Places it promised us right
7
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:24,600
there.
And I saw it, yeah.
8
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:44,760
So that's Freeman from the
rock'n'roll band Nemesis.
9
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,640
You know, I don't know who told
me to do the little chicka
10
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,560
chicka things.
Chicka chicka boom boom.
11
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:52,160
Or if I just made that up
myself.
12
00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:54,760
But I'm glad they ended up in
there because that's the thing
13
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,520
that keeps me hooked every time.
Like in between where you're
14
00:00:58,520 --> 00:00:59,680
singing?
Yeah.
15
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,760
It just flows.
So it just leads right back into
16
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,040
your next line of every verse,
you know?
17
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,080
I think that probably just
organically came about when we
18
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,440
were rocking and rolling, man,
when we were rehearsing and shit
19
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,960
and then talking before and
after practices and talking
20
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:17,800
before and after shows and, you
know, 'cause everything we did
21
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:19,680
just kind of evolved, right,
'cause you had the music
22
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,440
written.
Yeah, I think it was one of
23
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,880
those things where we all said
how are we going to fill that
24
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,320
gap, you know, 'cause all there
was was drums and bass there at
25
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:30,520
that moment in time, which
there's nothing wrong with that,
26
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,720
but I think we said something
needs to be there to keep
27
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,160
people's interest into each
line, you know?
28
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,280
Yeah, yeah, because interest is
important.
29
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:40,960
In case you're you're just
joining us, this is the Chris
30
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:43,120
and Mike show.
We're on Instagram, Facebook and
31
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:44,920
YouTube soon to come.
We're building a website at
32
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,840
Chris and mikeshow.com.
And how cool was that that that
33
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,480
actually was available?
It's awesome.
34
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,160
And I just closed my mind, man.
I.
35
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,040
Just had a thought.
That's where we're going to be
36
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,880
going live to twice a week, and
we will post on that website
37
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,560
when those times will occur, but
that'll be a perfect place to go
38
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,000
live to every week.
That will be a perfect place to
39
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,040
go live because there's,
there's, there's, there's a way
40
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,960
to do it on YouTube because I
set up, Mike knows this, you all
41
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,880
don't know this in the real
world, but I set up on my
42
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:16,120
YouTube page a podcast.
So therefore I have real estate
43
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:17,160
guy.
It's called a moment with the
44
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,040
real estate guy.
I drop it every Tuesday at 1:00.
45
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,360
But there's a little, you know,
minute and a half, two-minute
46
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,960
segments of just things you got
to know about buying or selling
47
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,440
a house.
And I didn't realize it, but
48
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:32,360
YouTube, you actually have a, a,
a tab for podcast.
49
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,000
So have our YouTube channel
itself is just all about us.
50
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,240
So it doesn't really matter
because we don't do organic
51
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,760
videos and stuff.
Although I guess we could move
52
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,120
them, start moving them to the
podcast tab and see what that
53
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:46,480
does.
I don't know if it generates it,
54
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,960
if it sends it out to, you know,
different places or what not.
55
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,360
So that'll be interesting to
find out.
56
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,160
I'll watch mine and see how it
evolves.
57
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,760
Now a fun thing when I was
fucking around with with with
58
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,000
our page because I set up the
shorts and stuff.
59
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,200
For those of you don't know, we
have all the shorts and stuff
60
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:08,640
set up to where they're dropping
twice a day, morning and
61
00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:10,320
afternoon.
And I haven't scheduled out till
62
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,440
I don't know like June because
we have so many shorts and
63
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:16,320
stuff.
And what what that does is helps
64
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,240
you guys like see little, you
know, snips and pieces of us and
65
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,600
then, you know, prompts you to
go to the big, the big, the big
66
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,280
show, right?
The Big Show.
67
00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:28,240
The big show on the big show
today.
68
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,880
So I told him I, I sent Mike
because I was looking at him as
69
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,360
I'm scheduled because they're
all in drafts.
70
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,400
We had a short.
It was, we have a short because
71
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,400
it's still there.
That's 25 seconds long.
72
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,040
That was around about the time
Eli was on the ballot for the
73
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:46,840
Hall of Fame for the NFL Hall of
Fame, and Bill Belichick had
74
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:51,920
championed his reasoning why Eli
should go to the Hall of Fame as
75
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,680
a first ballot football player,
which we debated that and it's
76
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,680
all debated in the sports world.
That damn thing had almost
77
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,520
12,000 views when I looked at it
for a.
78
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,680
Short for a short of a podcast
that nobody even knows who we
79
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:05,840
are yet.
That's.
80
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,160
Well, some people, some people
do.
81
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,360
I mean, we made it to Australia,
but that's because the guest
82
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,600
that was supposed to be on here
today is actually in Australia,
83
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:12,520
so.
Obviously, you know what I mean?
84
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,880
I mean, we're not already famous
people who can drop a podcast
85
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,760
and automatically you have
100,000 listeners or a million.
86
00:04:20,519 --> 00:04:23,440
So when you say something like
that, it blew my mind too
87
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,120
because I'm fascinated at the
ones that shoot up to 800 or
88
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,160
1000 real quick.
You know, it's like that's
89
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,640
awesome.
People are listening, they are
90
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,760
watching.
I didn't mean nobody like you
91
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,840
people who are listening.
We love you.
92
00:04:34,840 --> 00:04:37,600
Thank you for listening.
We're thankful that the podcast
93
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:38,960
is growing.
Yeah.
94
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,040
I just meant that, you know,
we're not Jennifer Aniston,
95
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,840
We're not a household Johnny
Depp or, you know, right?
96
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,120
Right, right, right, right.
I don't know why we're not
97
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:49,640
Jennifer's Aniston or Johnny
Depp.
98
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,640
I mean, you know.
I'm coming back as Jennifer
99
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,080
Aniston.
Really like Ageless.
100
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,160
You want to jump all those
dudes, huh?
101
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:00,920
I just want all that well, Well,
yeah, I was.
102
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,200
I mean, if you're a chick, it
doesn't, you know, it doesn't.
103
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,720
It doesn't, you know, whatever.
Anyway, we're not going down
104
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,000
that path.
We had a good time.
105
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,360
I'm having a good time.
So hey, you know, so Australia,
106
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,640
I mentioned that and I would be
remiss if I didn't do this
107
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,640
because when you, when you
schedule an appointment with
108
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,440
somebody, whether it's it's,
it's a podcast or whether it's
109
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,400
business, whether it's showing
houses, whether it's you're
110
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,400
going to a lunch meeting and you
know, whatever.
111
00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:27,520
Play my gig.
When, when?
112
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,560
Yeah, when you schedule
something with somebody well in
113
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,680
advance.
And we had this conversation
114
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,800
around the time that Nikki had
her birthday because I scheduled
115
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,680
that shit, you know, six months
ahead of time.
116
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,120
If you're going to bail the
night before, you're not.
117
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,120
We're never going to reapproach
you and we're not going to come
118
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:45,840
back to you and say, oh, please
be on our show.
119
00:05:45,840 --> 00:05:47,600
So the guy that was supposed to
be on today was a dude named
120
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,280
Lawson from Australia A or
Australia by 8.
121
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,880
And as I, as I sent him the link
last night, he's like, oh, go to
122
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:55,920
Bill.
Fuck you, dude.
123
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,360
That's all I got to say.
You're going to schedule a time
124
00:05:58,360 --> 00:05:59,800
with us.
Our time is valuable.
125
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,120
We know what the hell we're
doing.
126
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,920
People that are on this show
have have had nothing but
127
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,040
positive things to say.
It's helped their business,
128
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,320
their their their engagement,
their social media platforms and
129
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:11,120
stuff grow.
Why?
130
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,800
Because our conversations are
centered around that person.
131
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,040
Mike and I don't have an agenda.
No.
132
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:22,320
We aren't here no, we are here
to talk to you to to find out
133

00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,440
He's he's ripped.
He's he's super healthy,
154
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,320
lifestyle guy, fitness trainer,
all that kind of jazz.
155
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,080
Been there, done that, failed
many, many, many times.
156
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,080
But in failing, he's learned how
to grow his business, which is
157
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:30,720
cool.
So he was on our show the day
158
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,520
that Mike couldn't be on the
show because the Internet was
159
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:37,560
wacky and for for some reason
that got like the highest rated
160
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,880
show we've ever had in the
history of the Chris and Mike
161
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,840
show.
That's a joke, Mike.
162
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:44,640
It was close.
Actually.
163
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:46,880
No, I already watched it.
It was.
164
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:48,120
You have to be here to help this
thing.
165
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,720
No Anyway.
No, no, no, no, no.
166
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,440
I didn't realize you were making
a joke until.
167
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:54,440
You did.
You were making a joke.
168
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,600
You got me on that one, I know.
OK.
169
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:01,040
Hold on, keep, keep talking.
So what I'm going to say so.
170
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,040
So Nate's coming on the bother.
Keep talking.
171
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,240
That was a quick move.
Hey, hold on.
172
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:07,440
No.
Keep talking.
173
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,080
OK, so Nate, so Nate's coming on
the show getting Nate Palmer
174
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:15,560
$1,000,000 body and then we're
having oh, fuck Peter Ho, who
175
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,200
was just on.
I don't I don't know when his
176
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,800
show airs, but it's coming.
It's coming quick, Nate.
177
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,480
Palmer is in the top 12 most
listened to shows and Chris and
178
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,560
Mike show out of what, almost
100 show?
179
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:31,920
So yeah, that's why I would.
I mean, I get it now, but I was
180
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,840
right there with you because it
shot up the rankings quick so.
181
00:08:35,159 --> 00:08:38,600
Yeah.
Because you, I told you, you
182
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,559
guys not like I would have
distracted from your energy.
183
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,520
I'm just saying he really added
something to the show, just like
184
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,520
Mark did.
I just got a compliment today on
185
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,800
the Mark Jeffrey show.
Just, I mean, why wouldn't the
186
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,600
guy's been on the radio for 40?
Years.
187
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,800
Yeah, pretty easy on the ears is
what the person told me.
188
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,080
You know, just really enjoyed
the stories.
189
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,520
And I said, yeah, how can you go
wrong having a veteran radio guy
190
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:01,720
on your podcast?
So thanks.
191
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:02,800
Mark.
Well, right.
192
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,720
And the really cool thing about
Mark and you and I think it
193
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,840
translated very well with with
him being on the show and I
194
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:13,040
think you knew a little bit of
of his character and the type of
195
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,600
human is but just interacting
socially since.
196
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,400
Oh, I think I yeah, I think I
said it on the podcast.
197
00:09:18,560 --> 00:09:22,200
Like, I always wondered if what
came through that traffic report
198
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,200
and the things that he did on
television and, you know, are
199
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,880
are you the real deal or is it
that guy's a genuine human
200
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,840
being.
You know, he's got a beautiful
201
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,040
soul.
Yeah, that's where I was going
202
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:33,760
with that.
He's genuine.
203
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,000
He's not.
And that was, if you haven't
204
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,800
listened to the show, I'd say go
back and listen to it.
205
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,080
Because the cool thing about
Mark, I met him when I was doing
206
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,480
my radio show on iheart Real
Talk USA with the real estate
207
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:43,800
guy.
And.
208
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,560
And every time I'd have guests
come on, come into the studio,
209
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,720
the first thing we would do is
we would give them a tour behind
210
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,960
the scenes of a radio studio.
Because most people never get
211
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:56,280
that opportunity to actually go
beyond that that door, because
212
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,560
you can go to the lobby, you
know, to pick up tickets,
213
00:09:58,560 --> 00:10:00,120
concert tickets and shit,
whatever you.
214
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,280
Want to see the control room and
right?
215
00:10:02,680 --> 00:10:05,560
Exactly, so you so you step off
the elevator on I heart right.
216
00:10:05,560 --> 00:10:08,760
It's on the, it's on the 3rd
floor where all the, where all
217
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,320
the, the, the shows and stuff
are housed and where all the,
218
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:16,160
the DJs and personalities go.
You step off the elevator.
219
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,400
There's, there's four sets of
elevators, both sides.
220
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:19,840
You could out your face in the
elevator, right?
221
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,920
So then you have three other
ones on that little elevator
222
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,240
lobby.
Well, to your left is, is the
223
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:28,480
fuck you're not getting in your
door like secured lock down to
224
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:29,800
the right is the door to the
lobby.
225
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,240
Everybody goes to the lobby
because that's where you're
226
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,000
picking up your stuff.
So, so everything in Arizona
227
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:42,720
that's I heart is 95 five 96998
seven 99.9 one O 2.5.
228
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:49,600
And then you have the AM stuff
6/29/10 and and the KFIYKFYIK
229
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,200
FYI2 right?
So I was on the K FYI1 and two,
230
00:10:54,560 --> 00:10:56,440
but so everybody's on that
floor.
231
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,440
So I, I got to introduce Nikki
to John Jay and, and Rich
232
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:03,320
because she she loved listening
to John Jay forever.
233
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,640
So that was kind of a cool
moment because you know, Nikki
234
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,160
is like 5-2, John Jay is like,
you know, 6/2.
235
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,400
But that was really cool 'cause
then, and then I'm not friends
236
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,240
with John Jay, but we know who
each other are.
237
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,320
So every now and then on
Instagram they'll be back tags
238
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,120
and shit like that 'cause he's
just, he's again, he's a genuine
239
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,400
human, which is how Mark was.
Because when we would go and
240
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,800
take people on the tour behind
the scenes, they would see where
241
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,760
the bands come to play.
Let Mark talked about when if
242
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,720
anybody comes through the Valley
doing a concert, typically the
243
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,040
afternoon of that concert,
they'll come in and do a free
244
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,360
show, two or three songs and
sign autographs and shit.
245
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,080
And then you go, you would go
through the 910 Fox Sports
246
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,080
studio because who doesn't like
sports?
247
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,400
Then we would take him through
the traffic hub, which was
248
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,720
Mark's thing.
And and the thing was huge, man.
249
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,760
I mean, I'm going to say like
5000 square feet of cubicles and
250
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,400
screens like everywhere.
And then Mark had his own little
251
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,560
office on the side, but this
thing was mammoth.
252
00:11:58,560 --> 00:12:01,040
And he would just explain to
people what he did and what all
253
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,760
this was about.
It was really cool.
254
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,680
So during my time on the show,
there was there was elections
255
00:12:06,680 --> 00:12:08,120
and shit.
So he would see all that stuff
256
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,440
going on.
But that was a cool thing about
257
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,120
Mark.
Once I turned that corner, I was
258
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,320
with Steve Giannini, the guy
who's kind of behind my show
259
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,040
because I didn't have the keys
to the Kingdom.
260
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,160
I had to.
I was accessible with someone
261
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,520
who did.
But then Mark would take that
262
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:26,800
tour over and he was just
genuine and fun and funny and he
263
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,240
was everything.
Everything he was doing was was
264
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:34,880
kind of just enhancing their
experience of being at a radio
265
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,760
station that that most people
will never get to see, which I
266
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:38,840
thought.
That's awesome, man.
267
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,240
And then we'd end up going back
into, into my, my space where I
268
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:47,120
recorded and which was a legit
recording studio and, and, and,
269
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,040
you know, just hang out and
Margie would be there.
270
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,200
And you know, Margie was my
cohort on the show.
271
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,760
I'm going to steal your I never
know how to, I never know how to
272
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,720
respond when someone says so
you're friends with.
273
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,600
I liked how you said, well, they
know who I am.
274
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,040
Yeah.
Yeah, that's a great way to put
275
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:05,320
it.
I'm going to start using that.
276
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,680
Like we're not friends.
But yeah, if you asked them, do
277
00:13:08,680 --> 00:13:11,080
you know who this is, they would
say of course, right?
278
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,280
So yeah, I mean, it's not like
I'm going to call John Jeff, say
279
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,280
hey dude, come over for dinner.
Tomorrow I just like the way you
280
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:16,440
put that.
I'm going to use that.
281
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,560
But it's, I mean, it's it's, I
think it's the easiest way to
282
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:21,400
because you're not name
dropping, right?
283
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,040
You're not saying, oh, look at
me, I'm so cool.
284
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,320
I know Mark Jeffrey, but I know
Mark Jeffrey.
285
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,400
There's a call mark.
Jeffrey, right now.
286
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:33,520
I think there's a difference
between name dropping and being
287
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,600
necessity being a necessity for
the story, right?
288
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,760
Yes.
Sometimes I'll say I don't like
289
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,960
doing this, but because they're
part of the story, you know,
290
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,600
this person or that group or
whatever is involved.
291
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:46,880
Yeah, yeah.
Agreed.
292
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,600
Yeah.
Because I do not like people who
293
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,160
are like, hey, man, I was over
at Brad Pitt's house the other
294
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:54,560
night.
Like what?
295
00:13:54,560 --> 00:13:58,280
Parking cars.
Right if you just join us, this
296
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,080
is the Chris and Mike show.
You can find us on Instagram,
297
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,240
Facebook and YouTube.
Go ahead and drop us a review
298
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,120
give us a follow on YouTube,
subscribe all the kind of fun
299
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,040
stuff coming soon Chris and
mikeshow.com, which Mike alluded
300
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,160
to earlier.
We will forgot a way to make
301
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,440
this stuff go live through the
website and and.
302
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,240
It'll be easy to do it to there.
We just got to start building
303
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:16,640
it.
I bought the domain name, we
304
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:20,200
just now got to build it.
We should ask your brother, the
305
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,800
tech guy who's the best, easiest
way to have a website?
306
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,720
Because all the websites I've
ever built are real estate
307
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,600
related and I don't want to
build a real estate related
308
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,960
website.
I can look into doing that for
309
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,840
sure.
For you I'm thinking
310
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,840
Squarespace.
Squarespace Square.
311
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,000
So I head into.
The Cave and do some research.
312
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,760
Going to The Cave.
So that's from Pulp Fiction.
313
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,520
Don't be a square.
OK, That's that's where I stole
314
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,040
that from right on.
So I had this thing today.
315
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,240
I put battle of two songs,
right?
316
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,880
And they're two iconic songs.
Did you see that on my Facebook?
317
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,560
Did you not see my response?
I've been, I've been fucking
318
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,480
around all day man, but OK.
Good.
319
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,280
Like you have a job, you know
you're out there working like a
320
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,320
real person.
Not really.
321
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,360
I'm trying to work.
I'm trying to get people to get
322
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:06,760
off the fence and buy some
houses.
323
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,600
Like if you're listening you
want to buy a house, call me
324
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,120
'cause.
I know you're out there. 22,000.
325
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:11,480
Dollars.
That's why I was being funny.
326
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:13,400
I know you're a funny guy.
You're a.
327
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:17,760
Funny, what I said was, oh,
that's a tough one.
328
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:22,160
Yeah, but I think Jack and Diane
edges out American Girl for me,
329
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:26,360
and it pained me to do that
because I fucking love Tom Petty
330
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:30,240
like there's no tomorrow.
That man was, I think he only
331
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,720
ever knew a good time his entire
life, and if anybody ever died
332
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,680
happy, it was him.
Yeah.
333
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,520
And well, maybe because because
he, he did, he was, he was in
334
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,960
some pain and shit when he died.
And we, a lot of people think
335
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,880
that his, his overdose.
I mean, obviously it was
336
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:46,160
accidental.
He didn't, I don't think he
337
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,520
intended to kill himself that
night, but the toxicology had
338
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,560
different kinds of painkillers
and shit in him.
339
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,640
So I don't, I don't and.
If that was the end for him,
340
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:59,200
yeah, then, you know, if that
was his choice, that's that was
341
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,160
his choice.
I mean, nobody wants to be in
342
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,640
chronic pain.
But I'm just saying if you look
343
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:07,000
at his career, who would not
have wanted to have been Tom
344
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:07,600
Petty?
You know?
345
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:09,280
No, Agreed.
Never hurt anybody.
346
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,240
Was never no.
He went through a rough period
347
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,760
where his label tried to make
him a parody of himself, and if
348
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:20,320
you watch the documentary that
his daughter authorized, they
349
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,520
talk a lot about that where he
ended up doing that Wildflower
350
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,360
album and his record company
kept telling him.
351
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,080
Wallflowers.
No, it the.
352
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:31,800
Album Oh, the wildflower.
Oh yeah, you're right.
353
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,120
OK, I was thinking The
Wallflowers because that was.
354
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,880
He made that executive decision
to make that album and the
355
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,680
record company was pissed.
They were like, you know, this
356
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,160
is a career suicide.
You're, you're shooting yourself
357
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:44,880
in the foot.
Good luck.
358
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,080
You know, nobody will ever care
about Tom Petty again.
359
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,360
It went on to be like the
biggest album ever recorded
360
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,760
because it was honest, right?
What do we keep saying?
361
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,200
We try and be real, raw and
relevant, right?
362
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,920
Just honest, organic.
That's what that album is.
363
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,480
You Wrecked Me is on there.
Mary Jane's Last Dance was on
364
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,079
there.
On wildflowers because I'm
365
00:17:05,079 --> 00:17:06,240
looking at it.
That's not.
366
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:07,560
Oh, there it is.
You wrecked me.
367
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,440
Yep, Yep.
Only a broken heart.
368
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,680
Don't fade on me.
Cabin down below a higher place
369
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,359
calling back to you.
You don't know how it is.
370
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:15,720
Wildflower time.
Move on.
371
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:17,839
Good to be king.
Honey bee hard to me.
372
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:19,680
Find a friend.
House in the woods and wake up
373
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,880
time.
What's it called Sound on there
374
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:23,319
on Mary.
Jane, that must have been the
375
00:17:23,319 --> 00:17:26,359
album before I was Thinking of
You Wrecked Me.
376
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,800
Yeah, no, you wrecked me.
Yeah, you wrecked me some.
377
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:30,640
That's a great song.
And this was released in Jan, in
378
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,520
November 1st, 1994.
It's 62 minutes, 48 seconds
379
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,520
long, is recorded in sound
studio Van Nuys Ocean Way
380
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,160
Hollywood.
Yeah, there's a lot of footage
381
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:43,560
in that documentary from that
Sound City right on.
382
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:50,320
Let's see how many things did
this did Ringo Ringo Starr
383
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,480
played on drums and a couple of
the songs.
384
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,080
Well, that's awesome.
Yeah, they probably talk about
385
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:57,560
that in there.
I forgot about that.
386
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,160
Sales.
Let's see how many album albums
387
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:08,000
he sold.
You rigged me, baby.
388
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,040
Damn, now I don't know.
I'm singing American Girl in my
389
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:16,680
head, and I think maybe I like
that better. 3.4 million albums
390
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:22,360
sold of that one Tom Petty album
sells the best selling
391
00:18:22,360 --> 00:18:27,640
albums.org So great Greatest
hits is 12,000,012.9 million.
392
00:18:28,120 --> 00:18:29,720
Full Moon Fever great fucking
albums.
393
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:34,400
Just just over 6,000,000.
Wildflowers 3.4 millions.
394
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:40,840
So it was damn, damn the
torpedoes. 3.2 million right
395
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,600
into the dray.
Wide open 2.6 million.
396
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,400
I love that skies of blue.
That's what Mary Jane's last
397
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,800
dance is.
On into that way, wide open, a
398
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,920
rebel without a clue.
And if I'm right on that one, I
399
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,920
give up.
Hard promises 1.1 million Now
400
00:18:59,920 --> 00:19:06,680
Hard promises was back in in
8081, so it was it was a feat to
401
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,640
do a million sales.
I was just getting ready to ask
402
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:13,480
you what year it was.
A gold record was a platinum
403
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,640
record now back then.
Right.
404
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:19,120
Because the gold record, right?
Well wasn't gold 500,000 and
405
00:19:19,120 --> 00:19:21,600
then platinum was 1,000,000?
Yeah, so that's what I'm saying.
406
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,040
You are.
You couldn't be any more
407
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,400
correct.
It was really rare to have a
408
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,200
platinum album.
Yeah, in 1981.
409
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,160
So that was huge.
Right, so and just to put this
410
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,000
in more perspective, hard
promises, which is refugees on
411
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:35,360
that.
That's the that was my first
412
00:19:35,360 --> 00:19:38,040
introduction to to Tom Petty.
That was on right.
413
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,360
Me too.
Oh yeah dude have to live like a
414
00:19:41,360 --> 00:19:46,840
refugee.
So in Canada A it was 100,000
415
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,560
sales and that equated to a
platinum.
416
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,240
That's because there's only 23
million people that live in
417
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:53,920
Canada, or 32 million or
something.
418
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,680
Right.
New Zealand, it went going
419
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,880
California.
Yeah, New Zealand went gold
420
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:03,720
because it only sold 7500 copies
and then United States it sold
421
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,080
1,000,000.
As of August 10th, 1981.
422
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:11,240
So back then it was it was 1.1
million in all three countries.
423
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:12,560
It's weird.
Those are the three countries
424
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:16,920
they look at.
And it was ranked #72 in the 80s
425
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,720
it was ranked number 834 with
all the Billboard stuff and
426
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:25,160
overall was a 44184 ranking.
Best selling albums of all time.
427
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,960
OK, so let me ask you this.
OK.
428
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,520
How many copies did Johnny
Cougar Mellencamp camp?
429
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,240
Maybe he was just Johnny Cougar
then.
430
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,120
OK, let's see.
Tell me how many copies he sold
431
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,840
of American Fool.
Just that album for now.
432
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,720
I Will American, which is a good
fucking album.
433
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,720
Well, that's the one we're
pitting against Tom Petty's
434
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,280
album.
American Fool would eventually
435
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,760
sell 10 million copies
worldwide, 5 million in the US
436
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,400
alone.
From 83 to 87, Mellencamp
437
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,160
released 3 consecutive albums.
Uh Huh.
438
00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,560
Scarecrow and A Lonesome
Jubilee, which were all
439
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,160
certified triple platinum by the
RIAA.

443
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:12,880
So, so so.
Tom Petty.
444
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,240
Tom Petty.
We were just on Tom Petty's page
445
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:20,000
and he's sold 31 millions, OK,
31 million albums, OK OK
446
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:26,200
Mellencamp.
He has sold over 60 million
447
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:32,040
albums worldwide.
Double Petty, right?
448
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,320
Well, how he?
He was three different people.
449
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:40,080
He was true John Cougar, right?
He was First he was John Cougar,
450
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:41,840
right?
Then he was John Cougar.
451
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:43,840
Yep, Then he was John Cougar
Mellencamp.
452
00:21:44,360 --> 00:21:46,040
Right.
Then he married John Mellencamp.
453
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,280
So there's four, and
Mellencamp's there's four
454
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,880
different people.
Maybe the Johnny Cougar was what
455
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,360
they tried to get him to be and
he settled that John Cougar.
456
00:21:54,360 --> 00:21:56,520
I can't remember how that story
went, but anyway, he's been at
457
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,760
least three different people.
Yeah, yeah.
458
00:21:59,920 --> 00:22:02,920
Who has the most successful?
I would not have guessed in a
459
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,480
million years that he outsold
Tom Penny like that.
460
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:06,840
I I.
Me neither.
461
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,840
Me neither.
I would have guessed he outsold
462
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:14,720
him, but not to that level.
Yeah, I'm going to.
463
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,320
I'm going to do it again to see
if what Tom gets Tom Petty.
464
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:23,000
Oh, actually it's the same.
Over 60 million albums
465
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,600
worldwide, just like Mellencamp.
OK, that's.
466
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,960
More so so so.
Petty has 31.4 million in
467
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,760
America and and John has 30
million in America.
468
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,320
So he's edged out.
He's edged out.
469
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:39,000
I'm sorry, no, my eyes are old.
80 million, 80 million records
470
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:40,560
all time.
He's making him one of the best
471
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,760
selling artists of all time.
So he actually he's he's
472
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,240
trumped, but he's he beat
Mellencamp by at least 20
473
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,640
million, give or take, because
you know, it's the inner web.
474
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,800
We don't know what I was.
Thinking that my musical
475
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,000
knowledge was fading, like there
was number tomorrow.
476
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,720
I'm like, there's no way that
Mellencamp outsold Tom Petty.
477
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,560
Well, the only reason, the only
reason why I kind of believed it
478
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,520
for a second there was 'cause
all the farm aid, I mean,
479
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,560
Mellencamp was fucking huge in
the 80s, man.
480
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:07,360
Oh no, it just fucking question.
Like once once he got past.
481
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,200
He was God around this part,
these parts.
482
00:23:10,360 --> 00:23:12,360
Yeah.
Illinois, Iowa, Ohio.
483
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,200
Yeah, once he got past his
opening stuff, 'cause when he
484
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,880
was open for people he got buyer
bottles thrown in him and stuff
485
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:19,440
like that.
He wasn't, he wasn't very well
486
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,520
accepted, but once I what was
his?
487
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:23,640
Was it?
Was it American full of his
488
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:28,920
breakout?
Yeah, no, yeah, absolutely.
489
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,200
Because that's the one that had
hand hand to.
490
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,720
Hold on to.
The song that Jack and Diane.
491
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:40,640
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Let's see what these albums are.
492
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:45,800
And then Aha came out after that
that had crumbling walls, pink
493
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,640
houses.
Yeah, when the walls come
494
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,120
tumbling.
Down when the I'm wrong.
495
00:23:50,120 --> 00:23:51,640
Pink Houses is not on that
album.
496
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,280
And down when the balls when.
The play guitar was on that
497
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,240
album.
That was a good song too.
498
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,440
Yep, peg Guitar.
That is a good song.
499
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,640
Peg Guitar.
Just for the record, ladies and
500
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:07,280
gentlemen, Chris and I had one
of the most fun times a human
501
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,040
being could have at John
Mellencamp.
502
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,040
We did.
We are definitely fans.
503
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,720
So whatever shit we talk about
him, we love the guy and we had
504
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,520
a great time.
He put on a hell of a show.
505
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,560
He did.
I remember when when when all
506
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,120
the lights came up like he had
the guys, the stage guys turn
507
00:24:23,120 --> 00:24:24,960
the lights up and hit the crowd
in the entire and he just
508
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:26,880
stopped singing it.
I forget what song it was, but
509
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:28,800
it was probably either Pink
Houses or Cherry bomb.
510
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,560
One of those and the entire
crowd was just singing.
511
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:32,160
And they were.
All.
512
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,200
It was fucking beautiful.
The band was just standing there
513
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,200
like I'm being chills right now
'cause that's that's the thing.
514
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:39,560
You.
Just brought that memory right
515
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,040
back to the front of my mind.
I'd forgotten that, but I just
516
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,320
saw it in my head as.
Yeah, yeah, that's the thing.
517
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,600
If you don't understand why
musicians are musicians and what
518
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:52,960
they strive for as as as being
in a band, that's that's it to
519
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:57,080
stand on a stage.
And take the microphone.
520
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,320
Right.
And to take the microphone away
521
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,560
and just look at the audience,
sing your song back to you.
522
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,360
Nothing like it.
There's nothing like it.
523
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,640
I had that happen in Sturgeon.
Granted, it was simple man,
524
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,720
because the way I, the way my
Southern style singing worked
525
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,960
with Simple man it, it was a
whole new level of that.
526
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,440
Like, I think it was better than
Shinedown's version, but it was
527
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,840
never recorded.
But we did that so well in that
528
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,520
band that they asked it again,
asked us to play it the next
529
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,480
night and we did it.
And I forget where I got into
530
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,560
it, but they just, I just
stopped.
531
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:29,880
I put.
I believe it because you got
532
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,960
written up in the what was it
New Times or music voice?
533
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,880
Remember they said that that was
the best version of Roadhouse
534
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,360
Blues they had seen outside the
doors that we played at the
535
00:25:38,360 --> 00:25:40,200
Electric Ballroom.
Yeah, yeah.
536
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:44,320
So that was that was my that was
my, my moment of, of feeling
537
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,920
that, that wave of energy just
like, holy shit.
538
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,960
And it's you can't help, man,
you're just, I mean, I'm sure I
539
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,320
had a shitty grin across my
face, ear to ear and the whole
540
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,440
corner just tingling and alive
because it's just like.
541
00:25:56,120 --> 00:25:58,840
You feel all that energy.
Yeah, yeah.
542
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,320
So that's that's the rush.
That's the thing that musicians
543
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:06,640
and bands search for.
And that's why we want some type
544
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,840
of success.
So we can actually just have
545
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,680
have people sing back your songs
and just and and be a part of
546
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,080
that.
Like I did it used to do it when
547
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,240
we would cover rocking in the
free world here locally with
548
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,760
that band, we would, I would get
a lot of the crowd engaged and
549
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:21,040
shit just because I would get
them engaged.
550
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,960
So that was cool.
But doing on a stage in Sturgis,
551
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,640
that was really cool.
And unfortunately it was before
552
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,880
all the smartphones and shit,
they were just flip phones.
553
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,960
So none of it, none of it was
documented, which sucks.
554
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,720
That's what still sucks about
that DVD, man.
555
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:40,400
I yeah, I think there's a place
I can take that video to to see
556
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,560
if it is salvageable.
But we would have some good
557
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:44,840
footage.
Yeah, yeah.
558
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,160
Thanks to the fact that Chris
had a Would you have a Super 8
559
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:52,000
camera?
JAJVC little handheld camcorder
560
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:56,000
like.
Dude, that was the epitome.
561
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,880
Like these kids listening today,
they're laughing their ass off.
562
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,520
You can't even imagine that was
having like this bad ass, top of
563
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,080
the line MacBook Pro that I have
sitting in front of me, right?
564
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,520
The fastest, most efficient
machine that you can buy.
565
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:11,080
It just worked.
That was the equivalent of that
566
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:12,920
back then.
It's like, holy shit, you got a
567
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,800
camcorder?
Dude, you fucking kidding me?
568
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,480
You have a camcorder we can
record ourselves.
569
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:20,760
Nobody has phone.
Kids.
570
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:22,640
No, no.
There was this place called
571
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:23,960
Service.
I don't know if you remember
572
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:25,280
this or not.
There's a place in Mesa called
573
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:26,920
Service Merchandise.
Absolutely.
574
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,080
OK.
That's where I got that because
575
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:33,440
they had layaway program.
She went and I put like $25 down
576
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:37,240
then too, right?
I put like 25 bucks, dude, 25
577
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,520
down and then I had to pay.
I don't, I don't remember, you
578
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,200
know. 10 bucks a month for the
rest.
579
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:44,880
Something like that, right?
And then I got a bonus at Mark's
580
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:46,720
center and paid it off.
But that, that was cool.
581
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,840
It was layaway.
Layaway was cool back in the day
582
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:53,520
for someone who who didn't have
the funds to just RIP the
583
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,360
Band-Aid off and buy something
that we used to do that shit
584
00:27:56,360 --> 00:27:57,560
with our kids at Christmas.
Man, we.
585
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,000
Go.
That's what my mom and dad used
586
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:00,440
to.
Everybody's parents did that
587
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,520
back in the day.
You went to all the stores and
588
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:06,160
you put this shit away in like
June or March or whenever they
589
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,800
started and they paid like my
mom said, 30 bucks a month or
590
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,640
something until you went and
picked it up.
591
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,960
Yeah, that now.
The thing that sucks now is back
592
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,120
then there was no none of the
the toy of the season, right?
593
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,800
You can there was none of that.
It was just, you know, Johnny
594
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:27,080
wants a a guitar and you know
Sally wants a Barbie doll for.
595
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,560
You and I, but that did come
about for my sister's generation
596
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,120
because remember the cabbage
pastels where the women were
597
00:28:33,120 --> 00:28:37,880
like ripping their hair out?
Oh yeah, they.
598
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,240
Literally fought each other to
get those things.
599
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:42,480
Yeah, I remember.
I do remember that.
600
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,720
Yeah, and then people would make
like grandma's would make them
601
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:51,000
for their grandkids and shit,
and the kids would cry because
602
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,280
it wasn't the real thing.
That's not a garbage patch doll.
603
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:59,800
It's a homemade piece of shit.
That shit happened, man.
604
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,560
It's funny now, but it was
horrific for those poor little
605
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,840
girls that wanted.
That yeah, no, Nikki, Nikki had
606
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:10,360
had, she had cow patch dolls and
shit and her evil step monster.
607
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,240
I forget what happened.
She like got rid of them somehow
608
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:18,960
or some kind of fucked up thing,
which was disappointing.
609
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,560
But yeah, she had.
She had some of those too.
610
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,360
You're right though, man, for
us, like from 5:00 to 10:00 when
611
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,520
we would have remembered like
toys, there wasn't really
612
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:30,760
anything that people lusted
after.
613
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:37,120
It was Star Wars action figures
and Hot Wheels and whatever you
614
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:40,480
were into, you know, most, most
boys were into Hot Wheels back
615
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:41,520
then.
I had tons of them.
616
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,120
A matchbox cars.
I like matchbox cars.
617
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,320
Yeah, that's it.
Matchbox cars were a little bit
618
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,360
classier.
Yeah, that's what I had.
619
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,560
I had Matchbox.
Cars 'cause they were all metal,
620
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,320
they were all metal I.
Forgot they were two different
621
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,880
things.
Yeah, that was the hockey pepper
622
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:57,280
cars, right?
Fuck you.
623
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:02,800
Yeah, Xbox box cars were pieces
of shit, right?
624
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,440
But that's what I had too.
And see, with little Man, he's
625
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,360
gone through his phases.
So I have about 50 or 60 monster
626
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:16,240
trucks, small ones.
We we've got Hot Wheels and
627
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,040
we've got, he likes Hot Wheels.
Like the cool thing now with
628
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:23,600
with kids, they create these
elaborate, elaborate things to
629
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:25,600
use with Hot Wheels.
We just have those stupid simple
630
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,560
tracks, right?
They're all figures of shit.
631
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:32,200
Plastics that never work.
Or the the race, the the radio
632
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:33,840
controlled race cars.
Remember those and.
633
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:35,560
Those were bad tips.
Dude.
634
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:37,400
They were.
You had the Q2.
635
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,800
My dad and I played that shit
for hours, racing each other.
636
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,440
Oh yeah.
Our first set was Carl Carl with
637
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:48,640
Cole Yarborough, Cole Yarborough
and and Carl Yarborough.
638
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,480
Yeah, there you go.
Carl Yarborough That's a hard
639
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,440
game to say, but.
And I didn't realize what a
640
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,600
legend he was until like
absolutely later in life, right?
641
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,680
And then Richard Petty, which I
knew Richard Petty, but those
642
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:00,840
were the two cars we got.
So my brother and I would would
643
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:02,760
race that shit and.
And everybody wanted to be
644
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:04,240
Richard Petty because nobody
knew.
645
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,520
I like, I like, I like Carl's
car.
646
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,120
Carl's car.
He did red, white, Blue Man.
647
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,720
His is red, white and blue.
Petty's was just red and blue.
648
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:14,560
I liked because of the whole
patriotism stuff.
649
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:15,720
Hey, don't forget the boys and
girls.

657
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,800
I don't know, you drastically
interrupted my fucking.
658
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:40,040
Oh, slot car story.
I'm sorry, I was just, I I saw,
659
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:44,280
I saw a point to to break there.
No, you got to, you got to
660
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,000
follow through with those.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
661
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:47,600
So.
So, yeah, go ahead with your
662
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:48,520
slot car story.
Mark.
663
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,080
Sorry, I apologize.
I'm just fucking with you.
664
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:52,520
I know, I know.
You know, every now and then you
665
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,760
got to put me in check, man.
I'm like fucking come on, don't
666
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:56,680
relax.
No, I was going to ask if you
667
00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:00,160
ever had a train set.
No, never had train set.
668
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,280
So that's the first thing I no,
that's the first thing I wanted.
669
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:07,840
But Santa had a fucking tragic
accident on an icy winter night,
670
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:12,320
trying to bring it in the house
in that old steel fell on the
671
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:16,800
steps and broke my fucking train
set and broke his heart.
672
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:20,040
And I didn't know it as a kid.
But then there's a letter from
673
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:21,880
Santa.
Santa had an accident, broke
674
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:22,240
your train.
Oh.
675
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,600
Really.
So that's how we ended up
676
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:28,040
getting into slot cars later on
was like, that was the next
677
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,720
evolution.
You know, I think that came
678
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:34,520
about right about the time that
I couldn't decide what I wanted
679
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:38,000
or maybe the slot cars got
popular after the train set got
680
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,000
broken.
I ended up with a slot car
681
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:41,000
track.
That was badass.
682
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:46,920
So he set it up on a nice piece
of plywood and 'cause I think he
683
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:48,760
wanted to play with it just as
much as I did.
684
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:50,080
So.
Oh, right on.
685
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,720
I don't know if I ever.
I don't know if I ever ended up
686
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:55,760
having a real train set or not.
I don't think so.
687
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,760
Well, I know there's, I know
where they keep a train that we
688
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,800
could just go take.
Like a real train.
689
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,880
Oh yeah, just, you know, hobby
and keys are in the ignition and
690
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:08,400
just have at it, you know?
Well, we're going to have to buy
691
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,840
a digital recorder because that
show will have to go on the
692
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:15,360
road.
This is episode 215 as we hijack
693
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,880
a train.
Hijacking the train.
694
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,640
Hijacking the train.
So what were you?
695
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,760
Asking me who's on, who's coming
up.
696
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:25,520
Yeah.
So I.
697
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:26,800
Got it.
I, I pulled it up.
698
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:28,200
It's Jimmy Cross.
Yes.
699
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,600
So I'll, I'll drop a little
snippet.
700
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,320
Actually, we could drop a little
snippet after today's show and
701
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,920
make that a a thing and we can
what we need.
702
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:39,280
This is a little behind the
scenes conversation for you boys
703
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:40,320
and girls on Chris and Mike
Show.
704
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:42,960
Yes, this is the way a podcast
is put together, ladies and
705
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,440
gentlemen.
We need to have like on my
706
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:47,520
YouTube channel when you go to
my YouTube channel for.
707
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,880
My our.
YouTube channel no no my my real
708
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:51,320
estate.
No, no, no, no.
709
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:53,440
No, no, no, no.
I get it.
710
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:55,360
I didn't even have a good
chance, all right.
711
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:56,680
You tried though.
That was cool.
712
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:58,760
And the reason why he said that
is because whenever he
713
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:00,520
references something, I would
say it's ours.
714
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:02,760
It's ours.
It's ours because of like you,
715
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:04,800
your your YouTube channel.
Well, my YouTube channel is
716
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,120
Chris Dunham, the real estate
guy at Chris Dunham, just at
717
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,440
Chris Dunham.
So when you go to that one, OK,
718
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:11,400
there's a video that
automatically pops up.
719
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,280
It's the trailer.
We need a trailer.
720
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,600
And it's hard for us to have a
trailer because you're there and
721
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,120
I'm here.
But I think after today's show
722
00:34:19,679 --> 00:34:23,120
or even during the show, we make
our own little trailer and then
723
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:26,920
we make it a short and then I
can put it up on the on the main
724
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:28,560
page.
So when people come to the web,
725
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,199
the the YouTube channel, right
away they're going to see
726
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,560
something automatically play.
That's a brilliant idea.
727
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:35,400
I like.
Thank you.
728
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:38,320
Brilliant.
Brilliant.
729
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,360
Chris Dunham for the win.
Chris Dunham here, Mike
730
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,040
Michael's there, and Mike
Michael's there.
731
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,280
So I went to lunch today with a
dude named Charlie.
732
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,840
I'm in the I'm in the I'm in the
Rotary Club in in Mesa, which is
733
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,120
not about cars.
It's about volunteerism and
734
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:53,320
giving back what was.
His last name?
735
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,440
Brown.
Jude absolutely.
736
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,280
His last name is Brown and I
brought up the fact that when I
737
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,880
was a kid I grew up with
neighbors, that their kids names
738
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:04,240
were Buster and Charlie Brown.
Is that a true story?
739
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:06,360
Yeah, it's a true fucking story
because his name is Charlie
740
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,440
Brown, right?
You have to quantify these
741
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,200
names, ladies and gentlemen,
when you're talking to a
742
00:35:11,240 --> 00:35:12,720
musician.
Right.
743
00:35:12,720 --> 00:35:16,680
So my, my whole concept with
joining the Rotary Club is I'm
744
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:18,240
going to go to lunch with every
single member.
745
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,200
There's like 80 of us because
how do you learn 80?
746
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:24,040
Members of your Rotary Club.
About that, yeah, we're.
747
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,160
One of them.
There's only 10 in our town.
748
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,720
OK, maybe 8, I don't know.
Small.
749
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,800
Yeah, but the best way to learn
about somebody is take them to
750
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,640
lunch because you can't.
At Rotary meetings, you got 15
751
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,200
minutes to kind of come in, get
your lunch, sit down and then
752
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:39,760
you you can change where you sit
every day.
753
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,760
But on a whole, it's hard to get
to know everybody.
754
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:44,120
So I'm like, I'm going to take
everybody to lunch.
755
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:45,400
It's going to take me a while,
right?
756
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,080
Once a week.
It's take me probably almost two
757
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:48,240
years do.
This got nothing but time.
758
00:35:48,240 --> 00:35:49,440
That's what I always say.
Right.
759
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:53,880
So Charlie, he, he is owns a
property management business and
760
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:55,720
he uses and it's doors, it's
houses.
761
00:35:55,720 --> 00:35:59,000
Well, way back 40 years ago when
he first started this, he was
762
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:02,760
actually kind of thrown into
managing A60 door complex,
763
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:06,040
apartment complex near ASU.
OK, this is an interesting
764
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:07,120
story, which is why I'm going to
share it.
765
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,120
So he leaves that about eight
months into it.
766
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:12,440
Like this is way too chaotic.
And then the people call him up.
767
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:13,880
Hey, you know, we're dumping
this thing.
768
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:14,920
We're getting out.
You want him?
769
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:16,560
He's like, yeah, OK, he thought
about it.
770
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:17,520
Why not?
I'll take it.
771
00:36:19,240 --> 00:36:21,520
So they folded that apartment
complex.
772
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:24,440
And then so he started out with,
you know, maybe 5-5 doors.
773
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:30,400
And the door means a house at at
his, at his peak, 600 doors
774
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,280
before COVID hit, right, 600
doors.
775
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:37,960
One of the adventures he had was
a realtor connected with an
776
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:41,760
investment company California.
They bought 400 houses in two
777
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,960
years.
So anybody in California
778
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:48,000
listening to this that they need
a realtor to help them buy 400
779
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:52,360
house in two years?
I'm a guy 100%. 400 houses in
780
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,040
two years, man.
Crazy, insanity.
781
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:59,280
Insanity.
So with that being said, I was
782
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:03,040
like, so I mean, you know,
engaging conversation further
783
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:04,520
down the path of the
conversation with him.
784
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,320
He's been married 50 years.
He's got 8 kids, he's got 21
785
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:12,840
grandkids.
All his, he's the, the, the boys
786
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:16,960
in his, the boys that he raised
are all individually successful,
787
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:18,400
which is he couldn't take credit
for.
788
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:19,600
I was like, what?
You raised him, Charlie.
789
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:23,360
Damn right he did.
And it was, it's kind of cool
790
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:28,000
happenstance luck type thing.
Like one of his sons had a
791
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:29,760
construction background.
This guy's like, hey, you want
792
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:31,920
to help me with this, this
store, with these storage
793
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:33,480
solution, with these storage
properties.
794
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,280
And he's like, sure, why not?
At the end of the day, he made
795
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:38,280
10 million from that, why the
other guy made 60?
796
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:42,920
But he made $10 million, right?
Because he just happenstance
797
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:47,120
lucky bright place, right time
and and and stories go on.
798
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,640
And I'm with this guy.
He's he's, he, went on.
799
00:37:49,720 --> 00:37:52,760
AI love people like that.
Man, yeah, he went on a bicycle
800
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:56,240
tour in Europe for eight days
where he, he and a couple of his
801
00:37:56,240 --> 00:37:58,200
friends and they were riding
their bikes and basically towing
802
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:02,200
what they slept in, right.
They've been cruising on cruise
803
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:05,040
ships off and on for 20 years.
They've taken their family.
804
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:08,520
I mean, just they just kept
spewing out because I just when
805
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,280
I'm sitting with lunch somebody,
I don't know, kind of like when
806
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:14,000
I was when we had Nate on the
show, I'm just plugging away.
807
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,040
I'm just asking questions.
I'm learning, I'm taking notes.
808
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:20,960
Sure, you know, so I find out
legit, I don't.
809
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:25,080
You were here in the time 1998
Jane Hull was running for
810
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:28,240
governor, right?
He opposed Jane Hull.
811
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,760
Really.
Yeah, he only had $8000 in
812
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,320
budget.
He got 25,000 votes.
813
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:37,680
He lost.
He knew he was going to lose,
814
00:38:37,720 --> 00:38:39,600
but he wanted to do it just to
see if he could do it.
815
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:41,960
And that's cool, they got
25,000.
816
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:43,720
Dollars, right?
Just like I drove her all
817
00:38:43,720 --> 00:38:44,920
around.
The city, I think if you got the
818
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:48,680
money, 8 grand is of that's a
drop in the bucket to just to
819
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,120
say, hey yeah, I got 25,000
votes for governor.
820
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:52,320
Right.
That's what he said.
821
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:53,440
He's like, I should have won if
it was.
822
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:55,320
If a sheer dollar per vote, I
won.
823
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:59,320
Right on.
So yeah, Charlie, really cool.
824
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:01,640
Dude, that's awesome.
Yeah, he's a really cool guy.
825
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:03,520
We're going to have Mark on
Mark.
826
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,640
Mark from the Rotary Club.
He's the CEO for United Way,
827
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:13,160
former Baptist minister, and he
actually is one of the only
828
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,640
people in the world that can say
he actually got inside Melissa
829
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:19,480
Etheridge.
Another true story.
830
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,440
Yeah, because he dated Melissa
Etheridge before Melissa
831
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,760
Etheridge.
Went to the other team.
832
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:27,360
Went to the other team.
Became a lesbian.
833
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:29,120
You can say it.
We're in. 20 Well, no, I just I
834
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:31,920
like it's a Seinfeld thing you
know you go to the other team do
835
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:33,800
you have a shortstop on your
team Yeah, I do I have a
836
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:35,840
shortstop on my team I'm a
shortstop I'm not going up you
837
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:38,320
know I mean so that's.
That's and we very rarely get
838
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:40,760
get them back.
Right.
839
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:43,640
And she never went back to
playing for the.
840
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:47,400
Other side, I love when Elaine
describes how we have the
841
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:50,440
equipment right.
How can I compete when you have
842
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:54,160
the equipment 24 hours a day?
I only have the access to the
843
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:58,320
equipment at best what, 2-3
hours a week?
844
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:01,960
Right, says the woman with a
whole entire closet full of
845
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,040
today's sponge.
OK, she had more than just two
846
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:05,360
or three hours a day.
Episode, right?
847
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,560
That was a great episode.
Holy shit I love talking
848
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:10,760
Seinfeld too.
Some of some of the stuff that
849
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:13,440
that they got away with would
never fly today.
850
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:16,320
No, just like what the office
would never fly today.
851
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,120
Well, the Puerto Rican Day, I
think you can watch it on
852
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:22,880
Netflix now, but that was pulled
from regular TV forever, that
853
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:25,800
Puerto Rican Day parade episode.
Oh, I didn't know that.
854
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,920
What episode's that?
See, very, very few people
855
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:33,200
remember it because it only
aired live, and then it might
856
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:37,840
have aired in reruns for a short
time, but then, you know,
857
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:39,920
obviously the Puerto Rican
community got mad.
858
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:45,840
Season 9 Episode 20.
So I'm gonna have to oh, oh, oh,
859
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:49,760
that was where those, those,
those guys those those like very
860
00:40:50,240 --> 00:40:52,560
you talking to me?
You must be talking to me 'cause
861
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,120
there's nobody else here.
No, not those guys.
862
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:58,120
No, that's the soup, gay guys.
That's actually during the Soup
863
00:40:58,120 --> 00:40:59,760
Nazi.
I think they show up the first
864
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:02,600
time 'cause remember Kramer's
supposed to guard the armoire.
865
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:04,800
Yes, yes.
And they just take it.
866
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,000
From him.
Oh, yeah.
867
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:08,840
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's when he does what?
868
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:11,800
And then they're in the AIDS
Walk episode.
869
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:12,880
Oh, OK.
Yep, you're right.
870
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:15,600
Why you not wear the ribbon?
Yeah.
871
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:20,280
You not want to wear the ribbon.
Hey, he doesn't want to wear the
872
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,240
ribbon.
What what what?
873
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:25,360
Why don't you want to ribbon?
I'm going to kick crash, man.
874
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:27,680
You not know political refugee
from Cuba.
875
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:30,040
This is America, man.
You wear the ribbon.
876
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:33,880
Okay, so it's season 9 episode
20, boys and girls season 9
877
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:36,200
episode 20 because I'm going to
watch that tonight and I'm.
878
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:38,080
Going to do yourself a favor and
watch it, yes?
879
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:39,520
Get back to me.
It's the Puerto Rico.
880
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:42,240
Tell me how offended.
You were so this is what it says
881
00:41:42,240 --> 00:41:44,040
Crane.
This is this is the this is the
882
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:49,040
bio to it or the oh shit, shit
that fucking came on that the
883
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:51,280
whole episode just came on on
YouTube, but I didn't do that.
884
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:58,880
So OK, the YouTube version of
this 208,000 views.
885
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:01,800
So the premise is well, that's
not the premise of it.
886
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:03,040
Come on.
What?
887
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:04,520
I just saw the premise of it
somewhere.
888
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:05,800
I was going to read the premise,
man.
889
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:07,600
Damn it, Jim.
Damn it.
890
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:09,680
Jim Kramer.
Tamer Kramer takes extremes
891
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:12,000
measures to use the bathroom to
Puerto Rican Day.
892
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:15,960
That's all it says.
Oh, that's where you can't find
893
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:17,640
a bathroom.
Oh, I remember that one.
894
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:19,720
Then why do they call it Puerto
Rican Day though?
895
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:22,600
Because of that, that's the
parade that's going on if I.
896
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:26,520
Remember, right, OK and Day
Parade is this when he has that
897
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:29,480
kidney stone, he can't pass it?
I'm pretty sure that's it.
898
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:34,760
OK, OK, that is a funny episode.
I, I, I, you can tell me if
899
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:38,520
you've heard this not too.
I've heard that Kramer has never
900
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:42,160
watched himself like Michael
Richards the actor.
901
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:46,200
I believe it because he's kind
of an eccentric guy, but I I've
902
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:49,160
never heard that, but I'm sure,
yeah, I just heard it very well
903
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:50,920
may be true.
The only reason I heard it
904
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:53,920
recently is is there's all that
hub bubble back with you thumbed
905
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:57,520
up that with that's Jerry, Jerry
trying to get up right.
906
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:00,480
Jerry's trying to get him back
in the mix of things, you know,
907
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:02,720
because of all the chaos that,
you know, when he dropped the
908
00:43:02,720 --> 00:43:06,600
the N word at the comedy show,
Yes, which you know.
909
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,000
Rogan's talked about that at
nauseam.
910
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:10,720
And it's.
It's probably taken out of
911
00:43:10,720 --> 00:43:12,600
context, but.
A little bit.
912
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:16,120
You know.
He defends him a little bit, but
913
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:19,880
then you know he always is
careful to say you have to own
914
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:22,920
your actions, right.
Absolutely, Absolutely.
915
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:26,480
You know, a lot of us go out
every night and don't do shit
916
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:28,640
like that and we know act like
adults and.
917
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:33,800

I don't remember.
You're a hell of a salesman,
924
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:54,320
Dunham.
We're trying to sell some shit
925
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,040
here.
They were just sitting next to.

They're delicious.
I'm like, Oh yeah, I think it
927
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:03,000
has to do with gut health, OK,
because anything I do, anything
928
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:06,200
I do is is has a as a
nutritional supplement, kind of
929
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:07,960
like the hemp works, my daily
choice.
930
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:14,800
Hemp works.
Yeah, so, Rob, but now I got,
931
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:17,080
now I got gummy in my mouth.
Sorry.

Remind me to tell you a good
gummy story while we're not on
933
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:28,040
the air.
OK, I'll tell that story on the
934
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:35,240
air later, but it's a good one.
Right on, let's taste you.
935
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:42,920
I'm trying.
I'm gummy eating on a show so
936
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:47,320
I'm so unprofessional.
Nobody accused us being
937
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:49,280
professional.
We're we're, this is supposed to
938
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:51,800
be an organic conversation.
That's why people love us,
939
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:55,400
buddy.
This will be its own short Chris
940
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:59,400
eating a gummy.
You'll get like 14,000 views
941
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:02,320
because I'll, I'll do a bunch of
hashtags relate to gummies and
942
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:04,200
then I'll just go nuts.
I'll just go nuts.
943
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:10,440
So because we're real and raw,
this is what we're going to do
944
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:18,320
here.
We're going to we're going to
945
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:22,520
we're just shoot our thing that
we need, OK, because we're going
946
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:25,120
to shoot it.
So we're going to plan it out.
947
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:27,280
So basically we want we want
people come to our YouTube page.
948
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:29,720
We want to be like, hey, this is

00:45:29,720 --> 00:45:31,880

00:45:32,240 --> 00:45:34,520
And hey, we're here to talk

955
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:50,080
then you say news shows drops on

00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:53,520
All right, all.

mikeshow.com.
Oh, then maybe, maybe add
962
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:09,440
Spotify, Apple podcasts on all
those platforms you know we're
963
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:11,040
on because I don't know all
those things wrong.
964
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:14,120
OK, so we're going to wait till
the clock we're.
965
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:14,680
Done.
Yeah, Yeah.
966
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:17,640
Yeah, we're going to wait till
the clock gets to 47, so then we
967
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:18,360
can keep them.
No.
968
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:20,560
I'm saying we'll wait till after
we're done and we'll make it a
969
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:23,400
separate thing because I don't
want to cut it out of here.
970
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:24,880
Oh.
I gotcha.
971
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:26,920
Don't want to cut what out of
here.
972
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:28,520
Oh, we're going to do this when
we're done.
973
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:31,600
Yeah, I understand.
OK, so that.
974
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:34,680
Then it'll be its own thing that
we can put anywhere we want.
975
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:38,040
Then it will be its own thing.
See how smart Mike is?
976
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:40,120
I'm just.
No, I'm the one that asked to
977
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:44,320
edit it so I'm I'm thinking it's
not smart, it's just experience.
978
00:46:45,240 --> 00:46:48,040
Gotcha.
So I get I get this is funny.
979
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:51,360
So I get these, I get these
freaking spam.
980
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:55,880
Like when real estate market is
real estate market, right?
981
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:57,600
There's so many people.
Oh the market sucks.
982
00:46:57,600 --> 00:46:59,680
It doesn't suck.
You all are ignorant so shut up.
983
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:01,680
Listen to a professional because
it doesn't.
984
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:04,520
It's not bad.
We only have 17,000 houses
985
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:07,760
houses for sale in all of
Maricopa and Pannell County.
986
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:11,680
17,000 That's it, That's it.
That's it.
987
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:14,000
So thank you.
See because if you Maricopa.
988
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:16,640
County is the largest county in
the United States for those of
989
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:18,480
you that don't know.
Yeah, Maricopa and Pinell
990
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:21,120
County, I said.
So both OK, but there's this
991
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:22,880
thing.
But just alone, Maricopa is the
992
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:25,720
largest square mileage county in
the United States, right?
993
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:28,240
So there's this thing going
around that people think, oh,
994
00:47:28,240 --> 00:47:29,680
our supplies at wearing our
demand.
995
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:32,000
It's not true, man.
It's it's, it's, it's irritating
996
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:35,800
and I've done, I've actually
done a video based on this.
997
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:37,520
I'm going to do it right now
just because we're sitting well.
998
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:40,560
Actually, right here in our
town, my mom's been saying for a
999
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:42,920
month there's no houses for sale
here either.
1000
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:47,240
Well, see there, there are
houses for sale, but it's what
1001
00:47:47,240 --> 00:47:49,160
what they're trying to spend,
the bullshit they're trying to
1002
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:50,680
spend.
No, I mean like the inventory
1003
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:52,280
super.
It's not like there's not one
1004
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:56,560
house for sale, but normally you
see like a house on every other
1005
00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:58,360
street that's got a for sale
sign, right?
1006
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:00,520
Right.
You might see 5 for sale signs
1007
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:02,200
in the whole town now.
Gotcha.
1008
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:06,720
OK Wow, so Maricopa County
alone.
1009
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:09,880
OK, right now this is live
information, boys and girls.
1010
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:12,400
There's 13,204 Properties for
Sale.
1011
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:16,400
OK, and that's houses, I'm
sorry, not properties, houses,
1012
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:20,400
houses, single family homes.
There's 13,204 if I take the
1013
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:22,920
homes.
Based on the fact that there's
1014
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:25,320
millions of people that live.
Right.
1015
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:30,440
So taking away single family
home, minimum 3 bed, 2 bath,
1016
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:32,680
which means it opens it up to
everything, and I mean
1017
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:37,640
everything manufactured mobile
condo, townhouse, patio home and
1018
00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:40,200
homes.
OK, it's 20,311.
1019
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,440
So 20,311.
OK.
1020
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:45,360
So people are freaking out
because they say our inventory
1021
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:48,240
outweighs our our supply
outweighs our demand.
1022
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:51,240
Not true.
Because again, going back to
1023
00:48:51,240 --> 00:48:53,880
Phoenix, there's only 13.
I mean Maricopa County, there's
1024
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:57,560
only 13,203 houses for sale in
Maricopa County.
1025
00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:01,600
That's crazy.
That is a decline in inventory
1026
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:04,560
since January 2025.
This year we started with about
1027
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:07,600
six months inventory in January
and we've consistently gone down
1028
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:12,320
to an hour about 3.6 months, a
three, yeah, three month, 3.63
1029
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:15,320
weeks, whatever it says 3.61 of
of inventory.
1030
00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:20,120
But if you take, if you break
that down to just Maricopa
1031
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:24,880
County, that's not a lot.
That's not a lot, which is which
1032
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:26,120
is what I'm trying to convey to
people.
1033
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:31,280
This is not a crashing market.
There's nothing that's it's not
1034
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:35,480
it's a strong market.
We have we have you know, houses
1035
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:38,680
available, not like like, you
know, lots and lots, but we
1036
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:41,480
still do so Phoenix, OK, just
drop it down to Phoenix.
1037
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:45,000
There's 2601 houses for sale in
Phoenix that are at least three
1038
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:46,440
bedroom, 2 bath.
Wow.
1039
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:49,200
Now here's where it gets.
Here where it gets.
1040
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:54,280
Still not a lot.
No so we do 4 bedrooms, 4
1041
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:57,360
bedrooms, 2 baths in Phoenix it
drops it to 14142.
1042
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:00,040
Wow.
OK, now watch this shit.
1043
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:03,680
I'm going to put A2 car garage
on that two car garage to park
1044
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:08,120
your stuff 11159.
OK, we're going to say at least
1045
00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:11,640
1400 square feet because that's
a good range of square footage.
1046
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:17,840
11154 we're going to say what do
you want to say?
1047
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:18,800
What else?
What do you want to say?
1048
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:19,920
What else do you want to put in
there?
1049
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:21,960
Let's see, we got oh, we'll make
it single family.
1050
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:24,120
It's it's single family.
We'll make it detached.
1051
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:28,560
So there's do not attach anybody
that drops it down to 1144
1052
00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:31,480
interior levels.
We're going to say one level
1053
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:33,760
home, single levels, single
level, ranch style.
1054
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:36,760
What's the second?
657 How?
1055
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:39,320
About how about if you want a
pool?
1056
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:42,640
A pool, A pool, A swimming pool
Swimming pool Where's my pool
1057
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:43,760
features most.
People want a.
1058
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:45,120
Pool.
I want a pool.
1059
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:48,560
You ready for this one?
It's thinking, it's spinning.
1060
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:50,240
It's saying what am I doing?
What am I doing?
1061
00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:53,880
Looking for Mike for a pool for
when the podcast takes off.
1062
00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:55,960
Come on, Pool.
He wants a pool.
1063
00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:58,400
It's still thinking.
It's like it's going through the
1064
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:01,320
database.
Oh, there it is.
1065
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:02,960
I just got hit private.
OK, gotcha.
1066
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:07,440
SO50, I'm sorry, 339 houses with
a pool in all of Phoenix.
1067
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:12,840
OK so four bedroom, 2 bathrooms,
single 5 minute hatch with A2
1068
00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:15,400
car garage, single level at
least 1400 square feet.
1069
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:18,920
We have 339 houses for sale in
all of Phoenix, AZ.
1070
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:23,160
That puts it in perspective.
Now how bad does your supply
1071
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:26,960
outweigh your demand exactly?
Because most people raising a
1072
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:30,960
family like you did with two
kids, two people want 4.
1073
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:32,440
Bedrooms, right?
Right.
1074
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:35,400
They want the two car garage.
They may or may not want a pool.
1075
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:38,600
So they may have 1000 homes to
choose from where the people
1076
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:41,600
that want a pool, who are moving
from where I live out there that
1077
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:44,320
want to experience that, now
they're down to 300.
1078
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:46,840
That's not a lot.
No, get this shit.
1079
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:48,240
You ready for this?
Are you sitting down?
1080
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:49,760
Are you sitting down?
I am.
1081
00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:52,040
It looks like I'm standing up,
but I'm really sitting down.
1082
00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:54,680
You're sitting down South
Glendale, where Kevin lived,
1083
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:56,640
where you lived, where the band
got his.
1084
00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:58,720
You know, where we rehearsed
quite a bit.
1085
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:03,520
Same criteria.
Single family, detached, 4
1086
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:05,120
bedroom, 2 bathroom, 2 car
garage.
1087
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:08,040
Single level, 1400 square feet
minimum with the swimming pool.
1088
00:52:08,240 --> 00:52:10,400
Just guess.
In Glendale, how many houses for
1089
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:11,320
sale?
Just guess.
1090
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:19,400
All of Glendale.
Let's see, I'm going with 57.
1091
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:23,960
Not not bad 82.
Wow, I should have went with 100
1092
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:24,400
out.
Of a dude.
1093
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:26,960
But that's good though, so let's
do Mesa, AZ, shall we?
1094
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:29,480
Because Mesa also.
Lived there, I was the homeowner
1095
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:31,640
there.
Mesa, AZ is the largest East
1096
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:37,320
Valley community in in the East
Valley 154 all criteria remains
1097
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:38,280
the same.
Wow.
1098
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:41,920
So we're going to do Chandler.
Chandler.
1099
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:44,280
Chandler, AZ.
Not Chandler Bing.
1100
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:49,960
One No 101, you gotta have that
1100 one 101.
1101
00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:52,760
That one person's like my mouth.
Yeah, yeah.
1102
00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:56,440
Gilbert, AZ.
Gilbert AZ 117.
1103
00:52:58,240 --> 00:53:00,680
So that's what I'm saying.
People think that, oh, the
1104
00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:02,680
market's crashing, there's too
much, blah, blah, blah.
1105
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:04,840
It's because ignorance is bliss,
man.
1106
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:05,560
You don't.
You don't.
1107
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:08,320
You don't.
You don't look at the raw, real
1108
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:09,440
results.
OK.
1109
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:16,680
Apache Junction, OK Apache
Junction has 04 bedroom 2 bath
1110
00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:19,400
homes with 1400 square feet, two
car garage and a swimming pool.
1111
00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:22,040
None.
How big is Apache Junction?
1112
00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:23,280
I don't know, but it's just a
point.
1113
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:25,480
There's none.
None.
1114
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:27,560
That's where the band got its
start.
1115
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:30,840
We practiced out there.
Yeah, so Gold Canyon, Gold
1116
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:33,720
Canyon 0 Nothing, nada.
Let.
1117
00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:36,560
Me tell you dude, that was a
long drive from fucking Metro
1118
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:39,000
Center to Apache Junction for
band practice every.
1119
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:41,080
I don't doubt that.
Fountain Hills.
1120
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:46,600
OK, Fountain Hills, 36, 36 homes
in Fountain Hills.
1121
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:49,400
That's the thing that irritates
me when when people talk about
1122
00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:52,000
this shit like you're not,
you're not looking at it the way
1123
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:54,360
you should look at it.
You're looking at the, the, the
1124
00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:58,200
total amount of inventory by
just doing a blanket search
1125
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:01,440
that's active.
But you can't because our MLS
1126
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:04,520
system now picks up Sedona and
Prescott and Prescott Valley and
1127
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:07,120
Payson and Sholo and all those
northern cities that picks up
1128
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:10,440
some southern border towns as
well, like Nogales and Kingman.
1129
00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:15,280
There's there's it's such a
massive draw that our MLS pulls
1130
00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:19,080
from.
So any anybody that that doesn't
1131
00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:21,960
know what the hell they're
doing, they're going to do this
1132
00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:24,320
and I'll start it back over.
Just a quick search blanket.
1133
00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:27,840
Just nothing checked in my box,
but active properties, OK.
1134
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:33,120
And again, this picking up all
kinds of stuff 26,385 with
1135
00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:36,400
nothing written, with nothing
tagged down, nothing taken away.
1136
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:41,040
So that would that could easily
lead somebody to falsely think
1137
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:43,560
that, yeah, you do have way too
much inventory.
1138
00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:45,440
Right.
So, but if you go to Tempe
1139
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:50,560
without anything but putting
Tempe down 409 total Properties
1140
00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:53,040
for Sale.
Now if you take that to single
1141
00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:56,760
family homes, that drops it to
230 almost in half.
1142
00:54:56,920 --> 00:55:01,160
And Tempe is a big town, too.
Tempe's a big town as far as as
1143
00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:06,640
far as multi density high.
Lots of condos complexes and and
1144
00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:08,200
then we're not Hawking
apartments and shit either.
1145
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:09,840
We're talking the livable real
estate stuff.
1146
00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:12,600
But single family detached
homes.
1147
00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:15,360
There's 225.
We punched in three bedrooms, 2
1148
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:20,160
baths.
That takes us down to 205 now if
1149
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:27,920
we punch in 4 bedrooms, 114.
So we started with 409
1150
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:30,040
Properties for Sale in Tempe.
Narrowed all the way down,
1151
00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:34,560
there's 114 single family homes.
4 bedrooms. 4 bedrooms.
1152
00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:37,600
Normal family would Who's going
to have two or three kids?
1153
00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:41,040
Yep, absolutely.
And then do they add the 1400
1154
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:43,320
square foot single level?
You're talking 73 houses.
1155
00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:46,080
It goes back to everything that
I say in life, Chris Donovan.
1156
00:55:46,680 --> 00:55:48,440
You have to put things in
perspective.
1157
00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:50,320
You have to, right?
And you?
1158
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:52,440
Can't just make a blanket
statement.
1159
00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:55,240
You can if you're being funny,
but if we're trying to be
1160
00:55:55,240 --> 00:55:59,040
truthful and honest and you
know, in your case you have to
1161
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:00,600
be because that's your
livelihood.
1162
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:05,760
So when people say shit like
that, it gives a false sense of
1163
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:08,560
Oh well, it's not the time to
buy and then.
1164
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:12,880
And that's my frustration
because I guess, yeah, because.
1165
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:16,200
Because here's the thing.
Perspective is everything.
1166
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:19,360
Because the idiots in the media
and even some Realtors, because
1167
00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:22,040
I've, I've, I've seen some
Realtors spinning this stuff and
1168
00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:24,080
I've commented on them, I've
ripped them apart because
1169
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:28,080
they're not, they're doing a
disservice to the industry and
1170
00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:30,680
they're creating.
That's a great way to put it.
1171
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:33,200
They're they're creating the
whole fire, sculling and the
1172
00:56:33,200 --> 00:56:35,720
fire, the no, the sky is falling
mentality.
1173
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:39,440
It's not falling.
It's just not when I started
1174
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:42,520
this in this business 25 years
ago the average number of
1175
00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:45,080
Properties for Sale and again
back then it was just Marico
1176
00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:46,320
Pannell County.
They weren't pulling all the
1177
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:50,680
outskirts was 33,000 at any
given time for my first 2 and 2
1178
00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:52,360
1/2 years in real estate so I
could take.
1179
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:54,480
And what you knew was that to
put it in perspective.
1180
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:58,200
For 999999 because and you know
that because when we went looked
1181
00:56:58,200 --> 00:57:00,280
at houses for you, we we went
back to houses.
1182
00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:03,480
We could go look at a house, we
could go look at 5 houses on a
1183
00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:06,080
Saturday, go back and look at 5
different houses the following
1184
00:57:06,080 --> 00:57:08,840
Saturday and then the following
week go look at 6-7 more.
1185
00:57:09,240 --> 00:57:10,680
And then we figured out which
one we like.
1186
00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:13,000
Oh, yeah, I think you literally
told us, don't worry, We're not
1187
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:14,760
going to run out of houses to
look at.
1188
00:57:14,760 --> 00:57:16,800
Like, don't panic.
You know, you don't have to buy
1189
00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:19,800
the first thing that you see.
We can do this for a day, a
1190
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:21,600
week, a month, whatever you guys
want to do.
1191
00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:25,680
So our market right now is, is
to me, it's a buyer's market
1192
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:29,840
because prime example, first
time buyers couple weeks ago we
1193
00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:32,520
went out like 12 houses.
These really cool couple.
1194
00:57:32,520 --> 00:57:33,560
They never bought a house
before.
1195
00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:37,040
He works for, for progressive.
He's like an acclaimed gesture,
1196
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:39,000
like the big rigs and stuff,
really cool people.
1197
00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:42,640
She sent me a spreadsheet, which
I thought was fantastic of all
1198
00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:45,080
the once in these excel
spreadsheet and it was legit
1199
00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:48,560
like, and it and she was like,
Oh, you know, thank you, thank
1200
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:49,960
you, thank you.
Sorry, I'm like, don't be sorry.
1201
00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:52,200
This, this helps me help you,
right.
1202
00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:56,200
The more information you can
tell me, 'cause I listen, the
1203
00:57:56,200 --> 00:57:59,120
better results I'm going to
provide for you because I can
1204
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:00,840
check all your boxes.
There's certain things I
1205
00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:03,400
couldn't search for.
Like I have somebody today that
1206
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:06,640
wanted me to search and one of
her criteria was a back backyard
1207
00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:07,840
kitchen.
I'm like, there's no way for me
1208
00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:10,120
to search for that.
I said if it just happens, the
1209
00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:12,640
listing has a backyard kitchen,
you know, an outdoor kitchen
1210
00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:14,560
Outback.
Kind of like we had or they
1211
00:58:14,600 --> 00:58:16,840
wanted something.
More like just, I don't know
1212
00:58:16,840 --> 00:58:19,200
because I didn't go down the
rabbit hole with her.
1213
00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:22,920
We had the barbecue and the wet
bar and the refrigerator and
1214
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:25,040
that was a nice setup.
That to me is an outdoor
1215
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:26,720
kitchen.
Yeah, I agree with you.
1216
00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:27,840
It was bad ass.
I loved.
1217
00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:32,360
It so once I once I did this
person's search and she wanted
1218
00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:37,560
Phoenix the until she told me
what city she wanted and it was,
1219
00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:43,280
it was 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms,
3 car garage, a flat yard, you
1220
00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:46,120
know, as opposed to, you know,
hilly or whatever swimming,
1221
00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:50,800
swimming pool modern updated.
And the price range was, was was
1222
00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:54,080
900 to 1.2.
So I just left the the small
1223
00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:57,320
number open and did 1.2.
The initial search without
1224
00:58:57,320 --> 00:59:00,240
telling me what city she wanted
was 1500 when she told me
1225
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:05,240
Phoenix there was like 52.
Wow, right.
1226
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:07,600
But that's, that's my, that's
what I'm saying though.
1227
00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:09,960
People think, oh, 'cause
there's, you know, when you do
1228
00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:12,800
the blanket search, there's
26,000 Properties for Sale, all
1229
00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:15,520
the supplies outweighing demand.
Shut the front door.
1230
00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:17,240
You don't.
Care so for the people that are
1231
00:59:17,240 --> 00:59:19,640
listening that are following
along, let's let's take the
1232
00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:24,000
rabbit hole one step deeper and
put it really into perspective.
1233
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:27,440
OK, so now this lady has what 52
properties to choose from?
1234
00:59:27,720 --> 00:59:29,680
How many does she really have to
choose from?
1235
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:34,480
Because she's not going to like
probably 60 to 80% of what she
1236
00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:37,280
looks at right?
Nope Nope Nope.
1237
00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:41,720
So now she's down to maybe 1015
at best.
1238
00:59:42,080 --> 00:59:44,560
Right, so when I went in and I
looked at them all knowing what
1239
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:47,560
she wants, right?
So I cycled through all 52
1240
00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:50,760
houses and tried to find the
ones because some were, you know
1241
00:59:50,760 --> 00:59:53,040
small backyard because she wants
room for activities.
1242
00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:56,920
So I went through and I found 15
out of 52 and I sent them to her
1243
00:59:56,920 --> 00:59:59,200
which we which we were having
the conversation for show.
1244
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:03,120
Was my guess. 10 to 15 exactly.
So fucking genius.
1245
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:05,240
You are a genius.
So now I'm just waiting for her
1246
01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:08,240
to cycle through those 15 and
tell me which one she likes.
1247
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:11,800
So then I can take, OK, she
likes these five.
1248
01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:15,280
So I look at those five in more
detail and kind of start going
1249
01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:17,960
through pictures and reading the
description, understanding, OK,
1250
01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:20,040
this is a square footage.
All these have this kind of
1251
01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:22,080
square foot.
OK, note make that so update the
1252
01:00:22,080 --> 01:00:24,600
square footage search.
And you know, she doesn't like
1253
01:00:24,600 --> 01:00:26,760
the two-story.
She likes all those little
1254
01:00:26,760 --> 01:00:29,720
nuances that she'll do once she
sends me back the one she likes.
1255
01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:32,200
I research what she tells me she
likes.
1256
01:00:32,840 --> 01:00:35,560
That's why I totally understand
your frustration, right?
1257
01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:40,280
Because we just whittled
everything down, just like I've
1258
01:00:40,280 --> 01:00:42,440
described 100 times on this
podcast.
1259
01:00:42,440 --> 01:00:45,960
I like to break things down to
their nub, right?
1260
01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:48,360
How does this fucking thing
work?
1261
01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:52,200
That's what everybody has to do
with every subject in their
1262
01:00:52,200 --> 01:00:55,400
life.
That's why conversations with
1263
01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:57,880
people who are not deep
thinkers, I don't want to call
1264
01:00:57,880 --> 01:01:00,600
them idiots or morons.
They're happy with their life.
1265
01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:02,440
I stopped doing that, right?
Right.
1266
01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:06,080
So the reason that conversations
with people who aren't deep
1267
01:01:06,080 --> 01:01:09,400
thinkers are exhausting is what
you just described, because
1268
01:01:09,480 --> 01:01:13,880
people make a blanket statement
the supply of houses and
1269
01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:17,760
inventory, or yeah, the supply
of houses in Arizona far
1270
01:01:17,760 --> 01:01:22,840
outweighs the inventory that no,
no, we're never going to have
1271
01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:25,480
enough houses for all buyers
that we have.
1272
01:01:25,720 --> 01:01:28,400
And see, the other thing that
they're forgetting about is, is
1273
01:01:28,680 --> 01:01:33,360
they're building this massive
microchip plant up by Anthem.
1274
01:01:33,440 --> 01:01:35,720
Like this thing's going to be
its own little Anthem, it's own
1275
01:01:35,720 --> 01:01:37,360
little right?
So it's own little world.
1276
01:01:37,720 --> 01:01:40,760
There's not enough houses right
now just to house those people.
1277
01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:43,360
And they're going to build 5
different residential
1278
01:01:43,360 --> 01:01:45,320
communities just in that area
alone.
1279
01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:50,320
So when people say oh, this,
this, this that, I'm like, what?
1280
01:01:50,320 --> 01:01:52,840
Are you kidding me?
That's why when people make
1281
01:01:52,840 --> 01:01:55,760
blanket statements like that,
it's exhausting for me because
1282
01:01:55,760 --> 01:01:57,840
my brain starts working.
It's like, do you realize what
1283
01:01:57,840 --> 01:02:00,360
you just said?
We just made a generalized
1284
01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:03,960
statement about a subject to AI
know you probably know nothing
1285
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:07,240
about, right?
You know, somebody parroted that
1286
01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:11,320
headline that you just said from
whatever news source that they
1287
01:02:11,320 --> 01:02:14,200
saw it from.
And then it the snowball effect.
1288
01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:17,160
OK, Now the supply far outweighs
the demand.
1289
01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:21,360
That just becomes the new.
I hate that fucking term.
1290
01:02:21,360 --> 01:02:23,080
That becomes the new norm, you
know?
1291
01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:27,000
Yeah, until it doesn't.
And that's what frustrates me is
1292
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:31,600
that that you get like, there
was a a podcast with a reporter
1293
01:02:31,600 --> 01:02:35,400
from New York who is counting on
the real estate industry and the
1294
01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:37,160
data she was dropping was six
months old.
1295
01:02:38,200 --> 01:02:42,320
She was so ignorant that when
the the interviewer asked her,
1296
01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:45,360
well, what does she sell her
home for and what Commission did
1297
01:02:45,360 --> 01:02:46,360
she pay?
She didn't have an answer
1298
01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:47,480
because she said she didn't
remember.
1299
01:02:47,480 --> 01:02:51,920
Fuck you.
OK, Everybody knows what
1300
01:02:51,920 --> 01:02:54,200
commissions they've paid because
guess what?
1301
01:02:54,200 --> 01:02:56,360
It's not a settlement statement.
It tells you exactly.
1302
01:02:56,360 --> 01:02:57,840
Everything's broken down money
wise.
1303
01:02:58,600 --> 01:03:01,280
The realtor has to be upfront.
I've always been upfront, but
1304
01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:04,120
now they have to be upfront of
how how they're getting paid,
1305
01:03:04,120 --> 01:03:05,600
what they're getting paid,
right?
1306
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:08,880
And then you know what your
house sold for because it's your
1307
01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:11,920
house.
So when this woman said she had
1308
01:03:11,920 --> 01:03:15,800
no idea what her house sold for
and what she paid, just flat out
1309
01:03:15,800 --> 01:03:19,680
lie bullshit like right and but
she was spinning that.
1310
01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:21,520
Even I know that's.
Bullshit, right?
1311
01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:25,800
And all her information was 6-7
months old talking about how
1312
01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:28,840
Realtors were going to still be
able to tell the other Realtors
1313
01:03:28,840 --> 01:03:30,760
that they're, they're offering
Cole Brooks by putting
1314
01:03:31,720 --> 01:03:34,640
superimposing images of like the
three amigos on the TV in the
1315
01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:39,000
living room picture and, and
putting 3 cookies, 3 smiley
1316
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:41,960
faces on a sign writer, you
know, and, and then taking a
1317
01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:44,320
picture of the kitchen counter
with three cookies on a plate.
1318
01:03:44,600 --> 01:03:48,440
Like give me a break just to be
honest and be upfront.
1319
01:03:48,680 --> 01:03:50,000
And we never would have had this
problem.
1320
01:03:50,160 --> 01:03:52,360
And by the way, the dude that
filed the class action lawsuit
1321
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:55,320
owes a discount brokerage now in
the Midwest that he'll sell your
1322
01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:57,480
house for $1000.
Imagine that.
1323
01:03:57,760 --> 01:03:59,240
Really.
Yeah.
1324
01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:01,920
Imagine that.
It's stupid, man.
1325
01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:04,440
It's just so stupid.
Nobody, nobody.
1326
01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:07,200
You go to a doctor, you going to
negotiate the fee to see the
1327
01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:09,160
doctor.
I think you should be able to,
1328
01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:12,120
but no, I agree in the in the
current state, no, you cannot do
1329
01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:15,000
that right.
Right, You're going to go, you
1330
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:16,720
know, a plumber comes to your
house and has replaced your
1331
01:04:16,720 --> 01:04:18,560
water heater because it blew up.
Are you going to be able to
1332
01:04:18,560 --> 01:04:20,560
negotiate the parcel limit?
You're fucking with that guy.
1333
01:04:21,040 --> 01:04:23,520
No, but those.
Days are never changing because
1334
01:04:23,520 --> 01:04:25,280
who wants to change shitty
toilets, right?
1335
01:04:25,640 --> 01:04:30,000
But everybody thinks that what I
do for a living and those that
1336
01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:31,800
do it as well, that everything's
negotiable.
1337
01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:35,680
Like, I don't get a paycheck,
Mike gets a paycheck, I don't
1338
01:04:35,680 --> 01:04:38,800
get a paycheck.
I get paid to negotiate.
1339
01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:42,440
So I don't get paid to negotiate
until I have you under contract.
1340
01:04:42,440 --> 01:04:43,960
And I've negotiated those terms
and conditions.
1341
01:04:43,960 --> 01:04:46,520
And then guess what?
I still don't get a paycheck
1342
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:50,160
because unless it closes, all my
work was for naughty.
1343
01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:53,680
People forget that.
People forget those.
1344
01:04:54,080 --> 01:04:55,440
Suck.
Though, right?
1345
01:04:57,320 --> 01:04:58,920
So yeah, that's it.
I'm off my soapbox.
1346
01:04:58,920 --> 01:05:00,960
Sorry, you don't.
Have to be sorry.
1347
01:05:01,120 --> 01:05:02,440
Squirrel moment.
Squirrel.
1348
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:04,840
That's also part of this show,
brother.
1349
01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:08,000
This is your life and my life.
And it sounds like we're going
1350
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:10,680
to get fewer and fewer moments
to just talk to each other
1351
01:05:10,680 --> 01:05:12,160
unless we do it on the phone
again.
1352
01:05:12,200 --> 01:05:16,280
So this is a good problem to
have.
1353
01:05:16,280 --> 01:05:18,200
I'm not bitching at all.
That was my hope.
1354
01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:20,680
That was that we're going to get
to talk to interesting people.
1355
01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:23,360
But no man.
Yeah, yeah.
1356
01:05:23,400 --> 01:05:25,520
For those you don't know, what
Mike's alluding to is we have
1357
01:05:25,520 --> 01:05:28,840
guest booked basically every
Tuesday and Friday in June.
1358
01:05:28,840 --> 01:05:34,360
So it's going to be a fun
little, I don't know, a month of
1359
01:05:34,360 --> 01:05:36,000
learning different things from
different people.
1360
01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:37,000
Absolutely.
Yeah.
1361
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:39,920
We do have a couple people
coming back on the show, which
1362
01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:42,480
is going to be fun.
Nate wants to debate.
1363
01:05:42,480 --> 01:05:44,960
Nate wants to have a debate with
Peter Ho.
1364
01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:46,440
He wants to.
Yeah.
1365
01:05:46,440 --> 01:05:49,760
He wants to, like, spark up some
controversy, man, I totally.
1366
01:05:49,800 --> 01:05:53,120
Take Peter down for that.
I was like right on well, cuz
1367
01:05:53,120 --> 01:05:56,280
Nate's, Nate's all about health
and Wellness and, and so is
1368
01:05:56,280 --> 01:06:00,560
Peter and I know Nate.
I don't know how how much Nate
1369
01:06:00,560 --> 01:06:03,720
is tied to the products that he
uses, but we know Peter's tied
1370
01:06:03,720 --> 01:06:05,520
to his products he uses.
So we could, we could totally
1371
01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:07,360
have a product debate and see
which ones that's.
1372
01:06:07,360 --> 01:06:09,160
Going to be awesome dude.
I'm looking forward to it.
1373
01:06:09,160 --> 01:06:12,600
Yeah, it'll be fun for.
Both great personalities and
1374
01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:14,680
both very proficient at what
they do.
1375
01:06:14,680 --> 01:06:18,640
So yeah, I'm looking forward to
Nate kind of picking his brain
1376
01:06:19,120 --> 01:06:22,600
on a level that I couldn't as
far as how do these things work
1377
01:06:22,600 --> 01:06:25,480
or, you know, you and I only
know so much about that stuff.
1378
01:06:25,480 --> 01:06:29,000
So yeah, it's cool when somebody
else is what I like to call a
1379
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:33,520
subject matter expert, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, if.
1380
01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:35,640
We're talking guitars and music.
Yeah.
1381
01:06:35,840 --> 01:06:38,120
Exactly, You and I are subject
matter experts.
1382
01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:41,600
Yep, we are.
All right.
1383
01:06:41,600 --> 01:06:44,000
Well, let's let's stick a fork
in this one.
1384
01:06:44,840 --> 01:06:48,200
Yeah, because I think I might
lose my Internet, dude, OK, And
1385
01:06:48,200 --> 01:06:51,080
there's a storm coming in, OK.
OK boys and girls, this is the
1386
01:06:51,080 --> 01:06:53,440
crystal mic show.
Follow us on Instagram, Facebook
1387
01:06:53,440 --> 01:06:54,520
and YouTube.
When you go to YouTube,
1388
01:06:54,520 --> 01:06:57,720
subscribe, right?
Subscribe and listen to this,
1389
01:06:57,800 --> 01:06:59,960
you know you cuz then when you
subscribe to YouTube, let me
1390
01:06:59,960 --> 01:07:02,640
tell you what happens every time
a short populates, you're going
1391
01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:04,440
to get to see that short it's
going to get emailed to you
1392
01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:06,640
you're going to be notified hey,
the crystal mic show dropped a
1393
01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:08,800
short.
So that will kind of give you an
1394
01:07:08,800 --> 01:07:11,240
idea of what the show's about
and what show was about and
1395
01:07:11,240 --> 01:07:13,040
things like that.
And you can, you know, venture
1396
01:07:13,040 --> 01:07:16,400
down the rabbit hole like that.
So Instagram, just just give us
1397
01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:18,240
a follow.
We might drop some stuff on
1398
01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:20,920
Instagram every time we have a
show, which kind of tells you
1399
01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:23,960
what's coming on Facebook, kind
of the same thing.
1400
01:07:24,480 --> 01:07:27,440
We we put stuff on there and
drive traffic to the YouTube
1401
01:07:27,440 --> 01:07:29,480
channel until we get the Crystal
mikeshow.com built.
1402
01:07:30,640 --> 01:07:32,280
But all that helps us grow
organically.
1403
01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:35,480
We're not like most podcasts.
We're not spending thousands of
1404
01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:38,200
dollars to get people to come
and look at us right now because
1405
01:07:38,320 --> 01:07:42,520
it means more when your neighbor
Joe says, holy shit, that's Mike
1406
01:07:42,520 --> 01:07:44,600
and Chris.
I like that, yes, you know,
1407
01:07:44,600 --> 01:07:47,680
because it's real people.
And we're in, what, 17 countries
1408
01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:50,720
now?
18. 18 countries now and last
1409
01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:56,520
check we we were just passed
61,000 total views on YouTube
1410
01:07:56,880 --> 01:07:59,800
which.
Is pretty crazy for a little
1411
01:07:59,800 --> 01:08:03,000
over a year and no advertising.
No, no.
1412
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:05,880
I did a couple little electronic
blip boards, but those weren't
1413
01:08:05,880 --> 01:08:07,520
anything that was really going
to.
1414
01:08:08,240 --> 01:08:10,600
It's not like people that I see
know every week.
1415
01:08:11,040 --> 01:08:14,800
You know, there's some insanity
that people drop, but when you
1416
01:08:14,800 --> 01:08:18,279
grow stuff organically it means
more because then you have real
1417
01:08:18,279 --> 01:08:22,399
followers that are watching you
grow and follow your journey.
1418
01:08:22,399 --> 01:08:24,000
Which I'll give you a quick
example.
1419
01:08:24,120 --> 01:08:27,520
Everybody else out there, you
and I both follow.
1420
01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:30,960
So this will, it's pertaining to
you because probably nobody else
1421
01:08:30,960 --> 01:08:34,120
follows it, but it gives you a
good numbers example so that
1422
01:08:34,120 --> 01:08:38,279
podcasters for Facebook has I
think 71,000 people in the
1423
01:08:38,279 --> 01:08:41,880
community.
Now how much real, I mean, it
1424
01:08:41,880 --> 01:08:44,960
worked out for you and I because
we used it to our advantage,
1425
01:08:45,120 --> 01:08:47,000
right?
But I mean how much real
1426
01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:51,120
interaction and content is going
on out of 71,000 people?
1427
01:08:51,200 --> 01:08:53,439
Right.
Not a lot, because you can't.
1428
01:08:53,720 --> 01:08:56,720
It's impossible.
My point is, if somebody's
1429
01:08:56,720 --> 01:09:00,520
spending hundreds of dollars
every week to just drive traffic
1430
01:09:00,520 --> 01:09:04,880
to their Facebook page or garner
YouTube views, those people are
1431
01:09:04,880 --> 01:09:09,200
what the industry calls like,
fly by.
1432
01:09:09,479 --> 01:09:11,760
Yeah, you know, they're not
sticking.
1433
01:09:11,760 --> 01:09:16,359
Around they're one hit wonders.
You're 55 people that we have on
1434
01:09:16,359 --> 01:09:19,800
YouTube now, which you know,
hopefully becomes 55,000 or 5
1435
01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:23,680
million, but those people are
going to be there to the bitter
1436
01:09:23,680 --> 01:09:25,479
end.
They wanted to be a member of
1437
01:09:25,479 --> 01:09:27,319
this show and we love you for
being here.
1438
01:09:27,319 --> 01:09:32,040
Same thing with my not our
Spotify followers, Apple.
1439
01:09:32,520 --> 01:09:35,399
Yep, you know, there's people
that like different platforms
1440
01:09:35,399 --> 01:09:38,040
and they're loyal to it.
So all Chris is asking you to do
1441
01:09:38,040 --> 01:09:40,640
is if you hit that subscribe
button, you'll know every time
1442
01:09:40,640 --> 01:09:42,720
we release something to your
favorite platform.
1443
01:09:42,960 --> 01:09:45,160
Exactly.
That's it.
1444
01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:47,279
Thank you.
Don't let the bad days win.
1445
01:09:48,439 --> 01:09:49,920
Yeah, some somebody, Somebody
Loves You.
1446
01:09:50,040 --> 01:09:51,680
You need to be here tomorrow
when you wake up.
1447
01:09:51,840 --> 01:09:54,080
If you're having a bad day,
just, you know, take a deep
1448
01:09:54,080 --> 01:09:57,960
breath, relax, inhale, meditate,
chill out.
1449
01:09:58,040 --> 01:10:00,640
You'll be fine tomorrow, because
tomorrow is always a better day.
1450
01:10:00,960 --> 01:10:03,400
Yeah, we've both lost somebody
to suicide, so.
1451
01:10:03,400 --> 01:10:05,880
We have.
You don't, you don't ever get a
1452
01:10:05,880 --> 01:10:09,520
chance to, you don't ever get a
chance to say, hey, don't do
1453
01:10:09,520 --> 01:10:11,120
that.
So here's our chance to say
1454
01:10:11,120 --> 01:10:13,480
don't do that to somebody that
might be thinking about it now.
1455
01:10:13,480 --> 01:10:17,040
So that means something to us.
Exactly for the Chris and Mike.
1456
01:10:17,040 --> 01:10:17,920
So I'm Chris.
He's Mike.
1457
01:10:18,200 --> 01:10:20,800
We'll see you next time.
Love you brother.
1458
01:10:21,120 --> 01:10:30,480
Love you too man.
Look the tablet.
1459
01:10:31,640 --> 01:10:39,000
Go inside, feel the teasers.
Open your eyes on your journey.
1460
01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:44,960
Think yourself it's the place
where you will go.
1461
01:10:47,040 --> 01:10:51,560
Feel the trail behind your eyes.
Feel yourself and meet yourself.
1462
01:10:54,880 --> 01:10:55,720
Take a moment.
Look.
1463
01:10:56,760 --> 01:10:59,760
Until.
You see it fight the battle
1464
01:10:59,760 --> 01:11:05,720
that's you pose weird.
Fight the battle, but you pose
1465
01:11:05,840 --> 01:11:08,320
weird.
Who is this baby till you see
1466
01:11:08,320 --> 01:11:23,000
that?
Oh yeah, this is beyond here.
1467
01:12:29,570 --> 01:12:36,610
You haven't found something in
your sand for fighting.
1468
01:12:37,450 --> 01:12:41,410
Wait for the dead.
When it's closer out and get.
1469
01:12:41,850 --> 01:12:46,730
Put in the wind, you ain't no
creature we're playing.

Take the trail behind your eyes.
