1
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,000
Don't get nervous, ladies and
gentlemen, but we're.

2
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:14,120
Lucky hello boys and girls.
Welcome to YouTube and

3
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:17,080
Twitchers.
It's all about the Rock'n'roll.

4
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:22,680
Damn right.
As we see it, anyway.

5
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,520
Chris got to hear a brand new
song and you didn't.

6
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:34,680
A rock'n'roll conversation.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

7
00:00:41,690 --> 00:00:46,530
Oh yeah.
Translates.

8
00:00:46,770 --> 00:00:49,410
You saw this online.
Congratulations.

9
00:00:49,410 --> 00:00:50,970
Brother.
That's awesome.

10
00:00:50,970 --> 00:00:54,730
That's the 21 year chip.
You should be very proud.

11
00:00:54,730 --> 00:00:59,290
That's amazing.
You know what though, I had some

12
00:00:59,290 --> 00:01:02,610
douche comment on that post
saying that's not an A a

13
00:01:02,610 --> 00:01:07,050
sanctified chip, it's bullshit
and there's not helping a A

14
00:01:07,050 --> 00:01:10,720
raise money.
OK, explain to me why he would

15
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,680
make that comment.
Because obviously he is an

16
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,920
asshole and he's probably not
sober or has not been able to

17
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:23,360
achieve a 21 year or 21 year of
sobriety, which makes, you know,

18
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,160
that kind of comment tells me
that he's an alcoholic, which

19
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,560
is, you know, it is what it is.
I thought somebody.

20
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,120
Told me that there was something
that would lead him to believe

21
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,360
that that was not an official.
It's not an official a chip.

22
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,360
It's not an official A chip.
The official The official A A

23
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:43,840
chips are these.
Oh, see, I don't know anything

24
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,360
about this.
So you're you're teaching me

25
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:46,560
something.
Yeah, you've showed.

26
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,200
Those are those so many times
and I just wasn't paying

27
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:50,240
attention.
Right.

28
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,400
So that's the first year of
chips and each one of those is

29
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,440
the official chip.
It's the really lightweight kind

30
00:01:54,440 --> 00:02:02,200
of aluminum, if you will, almost
like a like a like a hard

31
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:06,000
plastic.
I don't know any plastic, but so

32
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,360
when when I first started going
to a a the first, the second

33
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,360
meeting I went to was a chip
meeting, which I didn't realize

34
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,640
at the time.
The first one I went to wasn't

35
00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:16,560
everybody was was 60-70 years
old.

36
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,600
It didn't fit for me.
So I found this other one in

37
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,240
Saint Pete, the Holy Spirit
Catholic Church.

38
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,680
It was called a chip meeting
every Tuesday at noon.

39
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,480
So that the second one I went
to, demographics were

40
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,240
wide-ranging and when they came
around the table, they asked how

41
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,080
long you been sober.
And, and I didn't say anything

42
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:35,880
when I first went in there
because I didn't, you know, just

43
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,360
step back and watch.
And I was like, why?

44
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,920
I haven't had a drink since, you
know, yesterday at like, I don't

45
00:02:40,920 --> 00:02:45,200
know, or the day before it was,
it was a yeah.

46
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,680
So that night, that Monday
night, I dumped everything out.

47
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:54,120
So I'm like, I haven't had a
drink since 5:00 Monday.

48
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,720
So they still gave me a 24 hour
ship even though I hadn't hit 24

49
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:02,960
hours yet.
And then I learned that you get

50
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,240
chips and that was my target for
the first year.

51
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,680
But the catch is when you go to
a a meeting, it's self

52
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,200
sponsored.
So they send an offering basket

53
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,000
around like you're going to
church and you put in what you

54
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,240
have, which I didn't know the
first time I went there.

55
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:15,960
So I felt like a dumb ass
because I had nothing.

56
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,200
I had no cash to put in there.
So then every take credit,

57
00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:22,600
right?
So then every, every, for the

58
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,600
first probably 3 months, I went
once a week.

59
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,880
So every week I would, I would
bring 5 bucks with me and stick

60
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,560
it in the, in the offering thing
just out of respect for that.

61
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:37,920
So a, a is, is, it's a
nonprofit.

62
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:42,040
So everything is generated from
people like me, you know,

63
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,120
Alcoholics that are in the
system and, and go to the

64
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,240
meetings and things like that,
donations, all that kind of

65
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,320
jazz.
So he has a point, but at the

66
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:56,040
same time don't care.
I I to me now that I've once I

67
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,960
hit once I hit like 15 years, I
only really ever go to a a if

68
00:03:59,960 --> 00:04:02,760
I'm just in one of those moments
in life where I just need to go.

69
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:08,640
So when, when I get close to my
annual anniversary, I go online,

70
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,840
I Google chips and this one was
cool, I thought, because it's a

71
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,520
grim Reaper now and, and people,
Oh, it's a grim Reaper.

72
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,480
What's a grim Reaper?
Because we're all terminally

73
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,680
ill, man.
We're all chasing the grave and

74
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,600
the coolest.
Thing about you, you're not

75
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,480
getting out of this alive.
Right, exactly.

76
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,000
So spoiler alert, right.
But what I thought was cool

77
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,760
about this is it is it's, it's
truly, I mean, the biggest thing

78
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,880
about about Alcoholics, we
always have that little mantra

79
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,280
one day at a time.
And this is one day at a time.

80
00:04:37,280 --> 00:04:40,760
You live one day at a time.
I think that's something that

81
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,720
every recovering addict shares
with you and a, a, you know, if

82
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,720
that's your mantra, you know,
I've always said whatever works

83
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:49,960
for you, right?
Right.

84
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,080
Whatever makes you be a better
person every day.

85
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,880
So.
Yeah, why would you begrudge

86
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,800
somebody, even if my point
exactly, you never went to a A

87
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,520
and that was your way of showing
your family and the people you

88
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:07,160
love that I'm still committed to
you and not my addiction.

89
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,320
Who cares how that you do that,
right?

90
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:16,320
Right from not being reactionary
anymore I just.

91
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,760
I just deleted his comment and
blocked him because I didn't

92
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,840
want it on my thread because the
my whole thread is littered with

93
00:05:22,840 --> 00:05:25,640
support and congratulations and
thank you for sharing your

94
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,360
stories.
You know, because my story has

95
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,320
touched people's lives.
Like you touched your life and I

96
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:31,600
didn't know it touched your
life, right?

97
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,920
Absolutely.
I had a couple comments from the

98
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:39,480
birthday post that were legit
like you inspired me to stop and

99
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,560
I've got X amount of days
because of you're so

100
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,920
transparent.
So to me, somebody who did that

101
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,360
is either, and we talked about
this before, there's there's

102
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,120
this type of people that have to
go to church every Sunday.

103
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,760
They have to, they have those
tunnel vision on.

104
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,560
They have to be told how to
pray, how to tithe, You know,

105
00:05:56,840 --> 00:05:58,800
when do you meet, when not, or
even in.

106
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,200
Its most simplest form.
I'm sorry to interrupt you, but

107
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,360
no, no, in its most simplest
form.

108
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,320
Maybe that's what makes them be
the person that you and I try to

109
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,440
be every day, right, Right.
I think your goal is the same as

110
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,280
mine.
We may go about it differently,

111
00:06:12,280 --> 00:06:15,440
but we have the same goal at the
end of the day, to be a better

112
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,360
person than we were yesterday.
Right?

113
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,400
Correct.
To try to do the right thing in

114
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,280
as many situations as possible.
Yeah.

115
00:06:23,280 --> 00:06:25,240
We're a human being.
We don't succeed all the time.

116
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,280
But I think that's both of our
ultimate goal.

117
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:28,920
Let's try and do the right
thing.

118
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:34,640
And I just had this conversation
recently, losing your temper and

119
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,080
yelling and screaming, and that
never solved anything that I

120
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,120
ever remember.
That's just my personal

121
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:41,600
experience, right?
No, I agree.

122
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,360
I.
Agree, so I've tried to get real

123
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,440
good about being the one that
remains calm and now I'm almost

124
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,440
getting a kick out of watching
the other person lose their

125
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,400
shit.
See, I I'll do that.

126
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,880
Like there's this lady in her
neighborhood that she hates me.

127
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,120
I don't know why she hates me.
I, I know why she hates me

128
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:59,280
because she had referenced a
real estate transaction and the

129
00:06:59,280 --> 00:07:01,560
listing was on the road and it's
on a busy road.

130
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,640
And I'm talking a very busy Vane
Rd.

131
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,960
And I made the comment that
anybody who has a house on, on a

132
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:13,400
road like that or Baxter Rd. you
automatically have a 10% value

133
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,240
drop.
Oh, she didn't like that.

134
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:16,200
She didn't like that at all.
Because.

135
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,760
She's would that have applied to
the house that we bought?

136
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,080
Yes, which I told you when we
bought it.

137
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,000
Yeah, which I told you when we
bought it.

138
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:24,600
That's.
That is the first thing that

139
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,560
popped in my mind.
I remember that conversation

140
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,640
right.
Like I have one listed right now

141
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,600
in the backyard.
Part of the backyard is in the

142
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,880
behind his backyard is a little
sub power generation.

143
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,800
He didn't have a problem with it
when he bought the house.

144
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,840
And then so we were talking
about feedback and stuff.

145
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,560
He's like, I remember you
telling me that when I bought

146
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:41,640
it.
Yeah, not everybody's going to

147
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,360
like a power station behind
their backyard.

148
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:44,560
Now it's.
Not what?

149
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,560
I don't even remember ever being
bothered by that traffic.

150
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,840
Because once you.
You know they had double pane

151
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,560
windows or whatever and you turn
the TV on and you don't hear

152
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:53,920
anything.
Right.

153
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,520
But some people because they're
not told upfront, they don't

154
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:02,880
believe the truth yet.
I've actually in the house that

155
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,840
Edward's house, I was listing
for sale and they were all

156
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,280
pissed off because the price
point, I'm like, look, we had an

157
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:08,400
appraised before we hit the
market.

158
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,080
Then we had an appraised when it
was under contract.

159
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,480
And both times the appraisers
made comments that in the

160
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:17,240
appraisal, due to the proximity
to the road, the value

161
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,080
percentage drop is this, which
is always 10% because you have

162
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,960
noise, you have the ability of a
vehicle to go through your front

163
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,400
yard and into your living room,
which just happens all the time.

164
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,160
Sure.
And then you have the traffic

165
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,080
noise and, you know, potential,
all the kind of chaos that comes

166
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,600
along with traffic.
So she's she hates me because I

167
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,320
was honest with that.
So she posted something on the

168
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,120
neighborhood page you have.
To be though, I know.

169
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,880
I know, I know.
So she posted something on

170
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,640
neighborhood, a page about a
fellow realtor, how it's, you

171
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:52,440
know, top top top group in the
country.

172
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:57,320
Well, when you look at the fine
print, their brokerage, because

173
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:58,960
then I looked it up, I'm like,
that's fantastic.

174
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,280
So I looked it up and then I
realized their brokerage has all

175
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:05,760
these little companies sites
throughout the country and each

176
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:10,280
one they list their top 20
offices in that state.

177
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:16,120
So San Diego ones were different
than the Arizona ones.

178
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:21,440
And this particular one for
quarter four, mind you, her post

179
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:22,920
made it sound like it was the
entire year.

180
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,520
And how do you should go with
her because she understands

181
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,400
unique values of our properties
and and yeah, OK, because

182
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,040
really, really nice realtor
because I've done deals with

183
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:34,280
her.
It's like super cool lady.

184
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,640
She's a part when people.
Take those cherry pick points

185
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,560
and paint them in a broad
picture, right?

186
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,960
Right, right, because she
shared, she shared, right, she

187
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,480
shared this person's post and
then she added her own little

188
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,160
thing.
But the fine print quarter four

189
00:09:49,560 --> 00:09:53,560
and it's the medium group so was
in, in gross Commission income.

190
00:09:53,560 --> 00:09:58,480
So GCI is different than what
you actually do as far as

191
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,120
production is concerned.
So it was a skewed, it's a

192
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,840
skewed thing, but it so I'm the
first one to comment on it.

193
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,000
I'm like this person, meaning
the realtor, she's a good human.

194
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,080
We've, we've done a few deals
together, right?

195
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:15,400
So when this, when this lady
originally was pissed off at me

196
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,920
for the comment on value, I sent
her a note card in the mail with

197
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,880
the $5 gift card to talk to
Starbucks.

198
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,160
I said, why don't we go have
some coffee?

199
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:27,080
And, and I can explain why, why,
why this, why this, why this is,

200
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,280
I mean, just, you know, she's a
very smart woman.

201
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:35,640
She has a very, she has a, what
is she's like, I don't want to

202
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,440
say what she does for a living,
but it's one of those, it's one

203
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,200
of those occupations that you
have to be wicked smart to do.

204
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:44,560
Like you can't just be Joe Blow.
But it just blows my mind that

205
00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:49,880
somebody's that stubborn that if
she would ask other Realtors,

206
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,480
they would tell her the same
thing.

207
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,640
But she has to like passively,
aggressively slam me because and

208
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,280
any other realtor in the
neighborhood, because there's

209
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,440
about 5 or 6 of us.
I'm the most active one.

210
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,600
I have the most houses that have
been sold in this neighborhood

211
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,520
in five years.
I have, you know, I'm more

212
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,040
active in this community than
anybody else.

213
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,720
But she has to slam me because I
told her her house wasn't worth

214
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,480
100% value.
It's only worth 90%.

215
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:20,000
Sorry, that's let.
Me know at the end of the day

216
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,200
what you end up getting for that
house, right?

217
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,880
Right when she ever goes to sell
because she's been there forever

218
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:26,640
and ever.
But I just thought it was funny.

219
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,040
Well, here's the flip side of
that conversation, the flip side

220
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:34,800
of that for somebody like her
and that mindset, if you were

221
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,000
the other kind of realtor when
you went to show Carrie and I

222
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,040
that house, you would have never
taken us in the backyard, right?

223
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,560
Or you would have made sure you
did it at a time when there was

224
00:11:43,560 --> 00:11:45,360
no traffic.
Like, hey, I can only meet you

225
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,040
at like 7:30 at night or 8:00 at
night, right?

226
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,160
Right.
Nice light traffic we got here.

227
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,600
Well, 5:00 in the afternoon
Stapley is like 50 mile an hour

228
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,800
traffic, just non-stop.
Right, so the road that I'm

229
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,760
referring to is similar to a
Stapley Rd., just further in the

230
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:02,240
South.
But here's what Chris did when

231
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,240
he showed us the house.
He took us there in the

232
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,320
afternoon and said, this is as
bad as it's going to get.

233
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,040
Are you guys OK with this?
Right, Right.

234
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:11,880
Well, yeah, We were young.
We didn't care.

235
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,400
And yeah, once you had a radio
on or you were inside and shut

236
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,200
the door, you didn't hear it.
So right.

237
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,280
And those were I showed a house
that you made right.

238
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:21,840
I showed a house this morning.
It's the same thing.

239
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:26,080
It backed it his corner.
It didn't back the busy Rd. but

240
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,240
it was it's 2 1/2 acres from the
busy Rd.

241
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:32,240
So we purposely went outside,
didn't talk, listened, went in

242
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,240
the house, shut all the doors,
listened.

243
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:38,280
That house isn't going to have
the 10% Dame because it's 2 1/2

244
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:43,000
acres away from the the the
intersection of the of those two

245
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,000
roads connecting.
It's not really an intersection

246
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:49,160
the the T but you can still hear
the ambient noise.

247
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,600
But once the doors were shut,
you didn't really hear anything.

248
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,960
Sure, but she's the worst.
Have to say, can you live with

249
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,120
this while you're outside?
Because inside you're not going

250
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:58,240
to hear it.
Right.

251
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,600
And and it's and she understands
that because she's driven up and

252
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,880
down that road 1000 times the
last few weeks because this is

253
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,000
the area she wants to live.
So she understands the traffic

254
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,960
on that road, which is cool.
It's just stupid.

255
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,160
It's the the petty things that
people do to try to get a rise

256
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,120
out of you.
So instead, like people will

257
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:16,640
post something on Facebook every
now and then.

258
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,680
Oh, I'm looking for a realtor in
Tempe.

259
00:13:18,680 --> 00:13:23,160
Right, which is just like
saying, you know, I have $1000 I

260
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:27,160
want to give away free, you
know, to the last, last comment

261
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,600
wins because then you just get
littered man.

262
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,840
And so I, I find this emoji, I
learned this from my buddy

263
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,880
Dallon Dallon Martin.
I I find an emoji where the

264
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,480
guy's eating popcorn and I just
put that in there just, you

265
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:43,280
know, watching, just watching.
Because if you really are going

266
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:47,000
to, if you're really going to
find somebody to handle the one

267
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:51,440
of the most financially
important purchases of your life

268
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,200
and, or protecting that asset by
selling it, you're going to go

269
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,120
on Facebook and say I need a
realtor in Tempe.

270
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,320
Like, really?
Yeah, that's how you do that.

271
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,720
It's nothing that seems super
logical because you should get

272
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,280
one, just, you know, luck of the
draw.

273
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,440
There's only what, maybe 1000
Realtors in Tempe?

274
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:13,480
There's, well there's 30,000
Realtors in Arizona, but

275
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:17,240
according to the nationalization
of Realtors in 2025, the entire

276
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:26,080
nation, 77.1% of all active real
estate licenses licensees sold

277
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,680
nothing.
Say that number again, 70.

278
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:35,040
77.1%.
Of all licensees. $1.2 million,

279
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,720
yeah.
And in 2025 did not sell a

280
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,520
single house in 2025 and I think
there's like a million two, a

281
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,520
million, two Realtors.
Well, think about it though, the

282
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:49,200
average is 4 transactions a year
because 90% of the Realtors out

283
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,280
there, it's a side hustle.
It's like, hey, you work where

284
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:53,920
you work.
You want to make some extra

285
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:55,760
money on the weekends so you can
get your real estate license.

286
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,400
So anytime somebody in your in
your small town wants to put a

287
00:14:58,400 --> 00:14:59,800
house for sale, they're going to
call you up.

288
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:01,000
Hey Mike, I got to sell my
house.

289
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,000
I should be familiar because
there's people, yeah, there's

290
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,120
people that do that around here.
There you go.

291
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:07,600
So.
Or they do that until they

292
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,640
become can become a full time
realtor because we don't have

293
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,880
the housing market that you do.
Yeah, right.

294
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,120
Like, like I did, I, my first
two years in real estate, I kept

295
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,320
my day job and they got to the
point where I was just, I was

296
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,520
just too busy.
So I, I couldn't continue

297
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,600
keeping the day job.
But, but the most, the bulk of

298
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:28,760
all Realtors of those there was
70, we'll call it 77%.

299
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:34,960
So of the remaining 23%, most of
those sold 4 houses.

300
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,360
And then you have do you have?
I'm going to say.

301
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,560
Cheaper minority.
I wasn't well, I was in 3%, I

302
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,960
was in the top 3%.
I got an e-mail.

303
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:47,240
I don't broadcast that shit
because it's no in Arizona.

304
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,760
I've topped 3% in Arizona,
which, you know, in Maricopa

305
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,200
Pinal County.
Yeah, but that makes sense now

306
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:54,560
that you break those numbers
down.

307
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,920
There's very few people that do
it for a living at the level

308
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,820
that you're doing it.
Right, but there's very few full

309
00:16:00,820 --> 00:16:03,640
time Realtors, like even in my
brokerage that we have a handful

310
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:07,560
of people that have secondary,
secondary things.

311
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,240
Oh, Nikki just walked in the
door butt ass naked.

312
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,080
Did you go to school like that?
I'll shake that ass.

313
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,440
No wonder those kids are there
on time every day.

314
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,520
Every.
Day, they're like, we're ready,

315
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:21,360
at least the boys and the girls
who are going to be lesbians.

316
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:27,280
Yeah, he's right.
Oh yeah, so she is dressed.

317
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:28,800
I have.
Clothes.

318
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,640
I figured you were dressed.
He said he figured you were

319
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:36,240
dressed.
I know him.

320
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,200
That's funny.
Yeah, She he knows me.

321
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:43,960
That's two.
Facts that completely blew my

322
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:45,760
mind today.
The other one is going to blow

323
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,880
your mind.
OK, did you know Blow?

324
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,800
Blow my mind with your fact.
Did you know that of all gun

325
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:55,920
violence or gun deaths, excuse
me, OK, Not violence, OK, Of all

326
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,840
gun deaths, over 60% of them are
suicides.

327
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,880
I was going to say that.
Yeah, I was going to say

328
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,400
self-inflicted.
That's crazy.

329
00:17:05,079 --> 00:17:07,680
I did not know that.
I was listening to a podcast

330
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,280
with a guy who was obviously
very into guns and he brought

331
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,319
that fact up.
I was like, I did not know that.

332
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,480
Yeah, well, it's kind of like
that, that bumper stickers, guns

333
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,520
don't kill people, people kill
people.

334
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:22,640
Which is a come.
Near me, right?

335
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:24,040
You know, come near me.
I'm gonna does the bumper

336
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:25,240
sticker.
Guns don't kill people.

337
00:17:26,079 --> 00:17:27,319
People kill people.
Come near me.

338
00:17:27,319 --> 00:17:29,800
I'm going to kill you.
Here's the analogy I always use.

339
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,920
I have two guns that do not
belong to me.

340
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,000
They're just being stored for,
you know, safety purposes

341
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,760
because zombie, it would be a
real bad idea to come in here a

342
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:41,800
couple baseball bats with your
name on it.

343
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,800
But right.
So anyway, those guns have laid

344
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:51,560
in their spot for well over a
year now and they haven't shot

345
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,160
anybody.
They haven't even moved.

346
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,120
They're quite dusty.
Yeah.

347
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,360
So yeah.
Now she's topless.

348
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:03,800
Hey, we're just going for
ratings here, ladies and.

349
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,680
Gentlemen, she's just going for.
Yeah, she turned the corner, but

350
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,320
she has to, you know, when she
gets home from work, she, she

351
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,280
purges the work clothes like
everybody do, you know,

352
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,680
everybody does the benefit of
not having kids.

353
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,280
You just, you know, walk in the
door and you can strip naked

354
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:17,960
underway to the shower, you
know?

355
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,280
I do.
There's nothing wrong with that,

356
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:22,960
you know.
That's why I hate winter time,

357
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:24,960
because I have to wear lots of
clothes, right?

358
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,480
It's not good at all.
No, and I don't.

359
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,760
Yeah, the winter time here is is
the reason I'm wearing a long

360
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,880
sleeve shirt because it's cold
on my house because my all my

361
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:36,800
all the flooring is tile.
But I don't know what happened

362
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,200
to winter man.
Usually usually February is

363
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,720
colder than January.
Yes, and this is going to piss

364
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:48,880
you off 8070770665 Nipoli that
day, which is Friday

365
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:54,600
707670651662 So next Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday.

366
00:18:55,280 --> 00:19:01,840
It's supposed to rain right now,
75 to 40% all three days, which

367
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:06,560
it probably won't by then, but
it's February, man It's insane.

368
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,840
Well, it is here too, because
it's February and we're going to

369
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:19,840
be today it was
53444551565957585655.

370
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:21,720
That's super warm for.
February, I have.

371
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,520
I have you at Tuesday at 57°,
not 58.

372
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,560
I care about your weather, Mike.
It's on my phone.

373
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,560
How do we have two different?
Hold on, let me pull this back.

374
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:34,600
You got us.
I.

375
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,280
Got Pontiac, IL.
So do I.

376
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,560
You got to bring it up to your
camera more so it can be.

377
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,600
Oh my fuck my camera is
1,000,000 miles away I forgot.

378
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,400
Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, that's
weird.

379
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,400
That's really weird.
And Punxsutawney, it's next.

380
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,160
Tuesday, say that again.
What temperature?

381
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,160
Do you have 57?
Mine says 58.

382
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:58,360
That's sound of a.
That's weird, man.

383
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:03,640
You Lion Scranton.
You know where gender Mifflins

384
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:05,040
at?
They're cold as hell, man.

385
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,400
It's, it's like 40° and less.
It's it's it's a crazy thing.

386
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,840
It's crazy babies.
They don't tell me no lies.

387
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,680
Did you watch the Super Bowl?
I did.

388
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:17,840
I made a lot of money on the
Super Bowl, my friend.

389
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,120
I made well because because I
followed your lead with one of

390
00:20:21,120 --> 00:20:24,680
the one of the basketball things
and I went to.

391
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:25,600
Zero.
I apologize.

392
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:26,600
I lost.
No, you're fine.

393
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,960
You're fine.
I went to 0 balance but I had so

394
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:31,480
much money riding on the Super
Bowl.

395
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,560
All the different bets.
I ended up making $60.00 in the

396
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,880
Super Bowl.
The the the fun one was.

397
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:41,640
You scored the defensive I.
Did That was a $35 score right

398
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,280
there.
Man I can't remember why it just

399
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,720
it didn't hit me when it
happened.

400
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,240
It must have been like 20
minutes later that thought

401
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:50,880
popped in my head.
I'm like that son of a bitch

402
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:52,640
just made he made money on that
one.

403
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,040
Good for him.
Yep.

404
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,920
Exactly.
I ended up for that day because

405
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,440
I put a big bet on Michigan too.
I made a little over 500 bucks.

406
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,080
Wow.
Michigan basketball and then I

407
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:11,400
had five separate -4 1/2 bets on
the Seahawks.

408
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,440
I just had so much confidence in
that team.

409
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,520
And congratulations to the
Seattle Seahawks.

410
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:21,560
That was one well oiled machine.
It was just.

411
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:23,880
It was.
Boring the 1st 3/4.

412
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,000
It was boring the first 3.
Quarters, it was boring unless

413
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:31,360
you're the person that executed
that and not just a fan, but I

414
00:21:31,360 --> 00:21:34,400
mean the people that were there
that executed the game, the

415
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:38,600
coaches, the I mean that was a
masterful performance and how to

416
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,560
shut down a football team.
And, and this is fun, the

417
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,160
Patriots, now the New England
Patriots, have lost more Super

418
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,160
Bowls than any other team in NFL
history.

419
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:49,160
Just means you've been there
more.

420
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,440
True.
This is true.

421
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,160
I, you know, I think the, I
think the Bills may have been

422
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,520
there had that record, and now
it's been supplanted by the

423
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:00,240
Patriots.
What wasn't it?

424
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,200
Michael Jordan has said it
doesn't matter how many times

425
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,800
you fail, it only matters the
one time you succeed or

426
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,800
something like that.
Yep, so our our hope for Vrabel

427
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,040
being the first player coach in
the same organization, It's

428
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,160
going to work and Drake may look
like a young kid playing

429
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:17,080
football.
Didn't he?

430
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,200
He did he he.
Wasn't the same thing, yeah.

431
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:24,240
So he's his level of maturity is
not the same level of maturity

432
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,360
that Brock Purdy had when he was
in the Super Bowl. 100% that's a

433
00:22:27,360 --> 00:22:28,920
great comparison.
Thank you.

434
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,680
Even though the Niners didn't
win, Brock Purdy was still Brock

435
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,760
Purdy has that Eli thing.
He has that, you know, all

436
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:35,920
shocks.
That was one play.

437
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:41,200
Move along, you know, Sure.
And you know, but you learn from

438
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:42,680
it.
But it's a question of and I'm

439
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,960
sure the Patriots will get back
to her because they're just too

440
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:48,560
good of an organization not to.
I don't know if I if I were Sam

441
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:52,720
Darnold, just a squirrel moment.
I just thought of this.

442
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:57,160
If I were Sam Darnold, I
couldn't not thank the Minnesota

443
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,240
Vikings for letting me go.
First and foremost, that would

444
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,080
have been the my the first words
out of my mouth.

445
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,960
Well, here's the thing with Sam
Darnold, though.

446
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,240
It's It takes a team to win a
Super Bowl.

447
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,480
Everybody's like Sam Darnold,
Sam Darnold, Sam Darnold is

448
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,160
like.
But Sam Darnold was shut down

449
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:13,800
for the first.
Three, I'm just saying because

450
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,680
he won 14 games with Minnesota,
they came up on him.

451
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:18,640
Well, he got hurt though, didn't
he?

452
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,120
I don't think did he?
I thought he got hurt.

453
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:25,800
I thought he got hurt.
That's why they, that's why

454
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,680
they, they moved on from him,
quote UN quote.

455
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,640
I thought he got hurt.
You might be right.

456
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,720
I thought they just ditched him.
Injury.

457
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,080
Because they wanted that JJ
McCarthy from Michigan, and then

458
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,480
he got hurt in a second game,
our first game.

459
00:23:40,360 --> 00:23:42,520
Oh, there's your first thing
that pops up.

460
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,160
Why did the Vikings give up on
Sam Darnold?

461
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,120
Details, of course.
Minnesota's brutal thing.

462
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,360
Sam Darnold, that was.
That was this year's oblique

463
00:23:52,360 --> 00:23:55,480
injury.
Where's the Minnesota?

464
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:00,720
I don't want to watch the video
man.

465
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,880
I don't remember him being hurt,
but that doesn't mean anything

466
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:05,800
because sometimes my memory is
suspect.

467
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,240
Yeah, let's see.
OK, so here's the article.

468
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:17,960
Try.
OK, What?

469
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:19,160
Where was it, man?
The Vikings?

470
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:19,760
Yeah.
OK.

471
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,640
The why Vikings chose JJ over
Sam Darnold to prove this,

472
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:23,880
because you're right.
OK, It was.

473
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:25,360
It was just.
Yeah, they just gave up a

474
00:24:25,360 --> 00:24:27,200
carton.
That's weird.

475
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:28,720
Otherwise, my joke doesn't make
sense.

476
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,640
But if I were him standing there
now, my joke makes sense again.

477
00:24:32,120 --> 00:24:34,760
I would totally say thank you to
the Minnesota Black for letting

478
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:40,000
me go for a real team because I
agree with your statement a

479
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,320
million percent.
You don't do it without the

480
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:46,520
other 10 guys on the field.
But he deserved the chance to

481
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,280
stay with the Vikings after
winning them 14 games.

482
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,280
I mean, yeah, you don't go to
the Super Bowl every year.

483
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:57,520
What is their 32 teams?
I mean, you have to have a

484
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,280
perfect season like Seattle just
did.

485
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:04,200
They just rolled over people.
Yeah, did that guy just.

486
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,520
Become the youngest, winningest
head coach?

487
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,480
Did I hear that too?
Yes, youngest winningest head

488
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,760
coach and I didn't realize the
Seahawks owner was a female,

489
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:13,800
which is pretty cool.
I did not know that either.

490
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:20,360
Yeah, the bears as well.
So the Bears, the Seahawks, oh,

491
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:24,560
the Lions, I think are the only
three female lead NFL team

492
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,080
franchises.
Of course.

493
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:33,040
And two out of three are above
average organizations.

494
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:34,480
The bears are getting there, if
they.

495
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:35,880
Yeah.
Their Bear, their Bears were

496
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,480
there.
They just, you know, the Bears

497
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,760
have a future with Cam Man.
They they definitely have a

498
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:42,320
future.
They have to have a future and

499
00:25:42,360 --> 00:25:45,640
and the things that the Detroit
did in the offseason, coaches

500
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,440
and stuff, I think they're going
to turn their shit around

501
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:49,680
because like you said, Ben
Johnson, I don't know, Ben

502
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,320
Johnson was on Detroit.
Oh yeah, he was their offensive

503
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:53,480
coordinator.
Right, which is?

504
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,520
Now they have a losing record
since he left.

505
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,960
Right, but they picked up, I
think they picked up Cliff

506
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,960
Kingsbury to be their OC.
Yes, so and he's a good, he's a

507
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,200
good OC.
Yeah, and they need that.

508
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:04,800
For sure.
Yeah.

509
00:26:05,120 --> 00:26:06,320
Yeah.
Because he turned, he turned

510
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,560
Washington around.
And but last year, Dane Daniels

511
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,240
was hurt so much that there was
nothing he could do.

512
00:26:10,360 --> 00:26:12,760
They had a lot of injuries on
Washington this year.

513
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,160
Yeah, which is surprising.
The Washington let him go

514
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:16,480
because it wasn't really his
fault.

515
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,880
But every team has injuries.
And that's the that's the thing.

516
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:20,720
You can't.
No team is ever healthy.

517
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,800
No team.
It's just, it's, it's, it

518
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:28,520
depends on the component that
that personnel that's injured,

519
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,320
you know.
Yeah, if you lose your

520
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,560
quarterback, you're pretty much
screwed.

521
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,040
Well, yeah, for that and that
and anybody any offensive or

522
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,280
defensive lineman because you
can, you can shuffle with

523
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,160
receivers and running backs and
and defensive backs and stuff.

524
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,720
But if you lose offensive
defensive lineman that are that

525
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:48,120
are powerhouses for that team,
you're definitely not going to

526
00:26:48,360 --> 00:26:52,200
going to recoup from that.
No, Ask Drake May.

527
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,600
Yeah.
And I don't know if any of those

528
00:26:55,600 --> 00:27:00,280
guys were replacements, but man,
that Seattle, if you can't stop

529
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,680
a four man rush, you're going to
lose every time.

530
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,640
We only rush four guys probably
70% of the time.

531
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,840
Might have been more than.
That that's what was surprising

532
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,760
about that.
I didn't expect it to be a

533
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,120
shutout into the end of the
third quarter.

534
00:27:17,120 --> 00:27:19,240
I just, I didn't expect that
like it was mine.

535
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,680
But it was the 12th at the
beginning of the 4th, I won one

536
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,560
of the squares in in in the
Rotary Club pool, which is cool.

537
00:27:26,360 --> 00:27:29,920
Nice.
But yeah, the fourth quarter was

538
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,000
awesome.
It was just, I mean, you know,

539
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,640
it was just regardless if you
like, whichever team you liked,

540
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,440
it was awesome because it was
finally action-packed and shit

541
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,760
was happening.
Offense was happening, yeah.

542
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,640
You know, and the Patriots did
get put up 14 points and they

543
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,800
were still reachable until the
turnover.

544
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,600
The the fumble, Was it a fumble,
A scooping score?

545
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:51,480
Yeah, I think it was a scooping
score.

546
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,800
Yeah.
And then I got I won two the,

547
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,200
the, the score in the last two
minutes of the first half.

548
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:57,720
I won that bet, too, which was
cool.

549
00:27:58,880 --> 00:27:59,600
Jake.
Won.

550
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:00,960
I'm sorry.
Go ahead.

551
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:02,200
Oh, no.
What?

552
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:02,840
Jake.
No Jake.

553
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,360
Jake picked the MVP.
Oh.

554
00:28:05,360 --> 00:28:08,640
Shit, yeah, yeah, he got I would
like.

555
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,000
To know what the odds on that
were.

556
00:28:10,360 --> 00:28:13,640
He, I don't know, he probably
put $5 down and got 35 bucks or

557
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:15,920
something.
I put I put $3 on the giant, I

558
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:16,880
bet.
He got moisture.

559
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,280
I bet he got like 50 or 60.
No, he told me.

560
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,480
He told me it was like 30,
thirty, 3030 bucks. 30 odds were

561
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:28,240
like plus 375 + 475 something.
Yeah, some of them something.

562
00:28:29,120 --> 00:28:30,600
That's really cool that it out
of all the.

563
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:31,960
Players.
He picked a great guy.

564
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,600
I was like, right on man.
I fell asleep.

565
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:38,400
Who was the MVP?
The running back the Seattle

566
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:39,440
Seattle.
Kenneth Walker.

567
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,480
Yeah, yeah.
Man, if I'd have been thinking

568
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,800
more, I probably would have
picked that guy myself because

569
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,440
I've been following his career
since he was at Michigan State.

570
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:53,560
Oh, right on.
See I was the one with one of

571
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:54,920
them.
What was it?

572
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:59,120
The running he had to get over
33 yards, one of the one of the

573
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,000
quarterbacks passing and one the
other one I didn't.

574
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,600
He was short and then obviously
the defensive score.

575
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,720
That was awesome.
I did the Patriots with the

576
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,600
points, so I didn't win the game
in itself.

577
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:13,520
I didn't do that right.
Yeah, well, you made your own

578
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:14,840
decision.
Yeah, right.

579
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:16,760
Right.
I don't, I don't like to.

580
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:21,960
I mean, I give people bets, but
for some reason that I mean,

581
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,640
I'll give them to you, but the
average person, I'm like, you

582
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,440
got to make your own decision
because it makes me too nervous,

583
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,160
right?
Yeah, I don't, but it's I don't

584
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:30,440
care.
To me, it's like you with the

585
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:31,360
basketball.
You can't.

586
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,720
I don't.
I OK, big deal.

587
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,280
We should.
Want I lost way more on that

588
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:37,960
game than you did?
That'll make you feel better.

589
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:41,600
I always lose more than you did
that I always will lose more

590
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,120
than you do.
That should make you feel

591
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,240
better.
Yeah, well, it doesn't.

592
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:49,120
But I just, you know, I'm, I'm
like my next, my final.

593
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,240
Way.
I'm not saying in a devious way.

594
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,360
Right my own my outstanding bets
to the Giants Super Bowl and

595
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:59,000
then Charles Barkley picked Max
Strom to win the Masters.

596
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,520
So if that happens, that's like
$600.00 payday for 5 bucks

597
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:10,360
because Sparkly said it.
I'm like, OK, why not, you know,

598
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:14,520
did you watch the halftime show?
Because I didn't.

599
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,240
We just we Fast forward that.
I watched it.

600
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:19,720
I didn't watch it.
I didn't watch either.

601
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,000
I, as you know, love all kinds
of music.

602
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:28,040
Absolutely.
And I can almost always relate

603
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,720
to whatever you are doing
musically, as long as it's good.

604
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:33,040
Right.
Yeah, yeah.

605
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:37,480
So I told you before we started,
I thought long and hard about

606
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:42,000
this because the one, the single
biggest reason I personally got

607
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:47,040
into music is because I felt
alienated a lot as a kid, right?

608
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:52,160
For whatever reason, I'm sick,
asthma, fucking allergic to milk

609
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,720
and got made fun of for stupid
shit that I had no control over

610
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,200
and or just people made a big
deal about it.

611
00:30:58,200 --> 00:30:59,640
Maybe they weren't even making
fun of me.

612
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:01,400
I'm like, just why you got to
make a big deal about it?

613
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:05,680
So music to me was my escape.
And it was something I could do

614
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:07,520
that nobody could ever take away
from me.

615
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:09,680
And nobody could ever tell me I
couldn't do it.

616
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:10,360
Right.
Right.

617
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,720
It's right.
The one thing that I always have

618
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:14,280
for me.
Yeah.

619
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:21,080
So the non competition part of
music was so appealing to me.

620
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,080
Right.
You and I, we locked heads

621
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:28,000
instantly over just that one
subject, and then we found out

622
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:33,120
that we agreed on many, many
other subjects and we grew as

623
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,480
people on the things that we
disagree, just like we do on

624
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,640
this podcast.
You and I have said 100 times to

625
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,360
each other privately.
I have learned so much from you

626
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,080
and you've learned so much from
me without even talking about

627
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:44,480
it.
You don't need to say it.

628
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:52,760
The camaraderie of that
partnership in a band and in a

629
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:57,480
songwriter, especially in a
songwriter situation, is so

630
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:03,360
intimate, right?
The fact that they tried to

631
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:06,800
divide us over music is so
disappointing.

632
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,800
Yeah.
So that fact alone I would like

633
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:13,720
to leave people with.
The second thing I would like to

634
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:17,640
leave people with is if you are
looking to Kid Rock for your

635
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:21,160
values, you need to re examine
your values.

636
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,880
Yeah.
And I couldn't mean that anymore

637
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:28,240
because you did not follow his
career from a young man to where

638
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,720
he stands today.
And people can change.

639
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:32,560
Yeah.
Oh yeah, that's fine.

640
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,200
But you don't get to be a
hypocrite when you do it.

641
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,120
No Agreed.
Agreed.

642
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,920
And for for what?
Right and and at the end of the

643
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:43,240
day, Kid Rock's a musician.
Period.

644
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:44,480
The end of the day, he's an
entertainer.

645
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:46,920
They're.
Welcome people to go buy that

646
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:50,200
album, his most famous album,
whatever the fuck it's called.

647
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,280
Devil without a cause.
Devil without a cause and open

648
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:54,880
it up.
And the first thing that every

649
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,680
mom and pop America is going to
see a big middle finger staring

650
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:01,800
right at him.
So that's the man that you chose

651
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:05,040
to watch over a guy who preached
nothing but love.

652
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:06,640
I couldn't understand a word he
said.

653
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:13,640
But I will also say I have some
very, very near and dear to my

654
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:18,560
heart, Hispanic friends, Mexican
friends, who I love.

655
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,680
Yeah.
They're loyal people.

656
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:26,520
They I mean.
Oh, they and that, that that

657
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,880
culture loved it.
They thought, I mean, it had 130

658
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,520
a hundred, 135 million views,
which is the most viewed

659
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,680
halftime show ever.
But part of the reason because

660
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,400
of that, like you said, they
pitted it.

661
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:40,320
They they, I think the NFL
picked them because they knew it

662
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:41,720
was going to be automatic
controversy.

663
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,520
Here's why they picked it.
OK.

664
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,360
This is the other thing that
people don't understand about

665
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,880
the halftime show.
It's not what you want to see.

666
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,800
They don't give a shit about
what you want to see.

667
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:58,240
He is the most popular artist
walking this planet today,

668
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:01,560
whether you like it or not.
Not Chris Dunham, whether ladies

669
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,440
and gentlemen who are listening
to this, who take the time, if

670
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:08,719
you don't know, he is the most
downloaded and listen to artist

671
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,320
on earth and it's not even
close.

672
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:15,600
It's like the next closest
artist is Taylor Swift and he

673
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,400
out downloads her like 7:00 or
12:50.

674
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:23,280
Yeah.
He gets like 89,000,000 streams

675
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,159
a day.
Yeah, which is?

676
00:34:25,159 --> 00:34:29,679
Over a billion a month and now
it just went up like 400%.

677
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:31,520
Yeah, yeah, Because that's the
other thing.

678
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,760
If you don't realize that
anybody who plays the halftime

679
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,480
show, they put the money
forward, they're not paid to do

680
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:38,080
that.
So all your halftime

681
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,880
entertainment is paid for by the
artists themselves because the

682
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:45,080
next day they see results on all
the download streams because all

683
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:49,199
their music gets downloaded or
purchased wherever you can

684
00:34:49,199 --> 00:34:50,800
purchase it from, whether it's
streaming or not.

685
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:52,760
But that's that's the caveat to
that.

686
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:57,480
But the hate that was sent
towards him and the bravery that

687
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:03,680
he showed to go out there and do
what he loves was just to me.

688
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:05,520
It was mesmerizing.
Yeah.

689
00:35:05,720 --> 00:35:08,240
It was a great.
And if you don't listen to Latin

690
00:35:08,240 --> 00:35:10,240
music, First off, you're
missing.

691
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:13,880
You're missing out because it
makes even a person who doesn't

692
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,080
understand music, it makes you
want to move.

693
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:18,520
Yeah.
It's a yeah.

694
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:22,520
Think of like Gloria Estefan.
That's all he is you're making.

695
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:26,640
And another thing I had to
educate people on and it made me

696
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:32,120
just, it just, it's almost like
we're the last gasp, gasps of a

697
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,840
dying nation, right?
These people don't understand

698
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,560
that Puerto Rico is actually
part of the United States,

699
00:35:37,720 --> 00:35:38,360
right?
Right.

700
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,600
Yeah.
And it's actually a horrible

701
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,320
part of the United States
because we annexed them as a

702
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,480
territory and then just forgot
about them.

703
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,640
They have no representation.
They don't get to vote.

704
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:53,720
They're United States citizens,
though.

705
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:58,120
Yeah.
So, you know it, it made me sad

706
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:00,320
that I had to educate people
that Puerto Rico was actually

707
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:02,440
part of the United States when
they said why do we have to have

708
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:04,640
a fucking foreigner at a fucking
halftime show?

709
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:11,320
Well, after I get done
scratching my head, yeah.

710
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:16,080
Yeah, yeah.
So I guess we failed civics.

711
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:18,840
We just we fast forwarded it.
It's one of those things that

712
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:23,880
that when they over hype
something like that, it's just,

713
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,520
I had to know why.
Yeah, yeah, I just see I'm the

714
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:28,280
other way.
We we, we were messing around

715
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,040
anyway because you know, we can
DVR things and married couples

716
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,560
can have mess around fun.
Well, if I had the choice

717
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,080
between that and watch them,
yeah, Bunny halftime show, I

718
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,320
guess which one I'm picking.
Yeah, Yeah, we had.

719
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:42,160
I didn't have that option.
So we, the benefit of is then we

720
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:45,560
could, we could Fast forward the
commercials and we realized we

721
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:46,920
don't want to Fast forward the
commercials.

722
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,520
So then by the time we got to
the halftime, we just Fast

723
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:51,680
forward it to get to the start
of the third quarter.

724
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:57,560
Because again, you know, to me,
it's, it's, it's overproduced,

725
00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:59,480
it's lip syncing.
And I didn't watch it.

726
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,920
So I and I people, what do you
think?

727
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:03,680
I don't know, I didn't watch it.
I just didn't watch either.

728
00:37:03,720 --> 00:37:07,360
I saw a clip of, of Kid Rock.
I saw a clip of Bad Bunny on on

729
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:09,200
the Instagram and that was the
extent of it.

730
00:37:10,240 --> 00:37:12,680
I didn't.
I didn't watch any of Kid Rock's

731
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,360
just for the simple fact.
Like I said, it's like you don't

732
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:17,520
get to be a hypocrite.
I know where you came from.

733
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:19,800
I know what you said.
I know what your lyrics were.

734
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:21,680
I knew every one of them.
Yeah.

735
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:24,640
Well, yeah, it's kind.
Of like it can change.

736
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,240
Yeah, he has.
He has that, but he has to.

737
00:37:27,240 --> 00:37:29,760
Be a hypocrite.
Right, he has that famous lame.

738
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:31,720
I'm straight outta Compton.
I'm straight off the trailer.

739
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:37,560
Dude lived in a very nice
residential estate, probably

740
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:41,760
four or five acres with a you
know, a 3000 square foot house

741
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,160
was backed in was kind of
mansion esque, right?

742
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:46,520
With a guest house and a pool
and a tennis court.

743
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:48,360
You could Google.
Let's see if we can find it.

744
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:54,720
Google Kid Rock's home home Kid
Rock's home while growing up.

745
00:37:54,720 --> 00:37:57,320
It's because it's crazy.
When I showed it to Nikki years

746
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,760
ago, she's like, what?
But you know where I'm coming

747
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:03,120
from.
He he led us to believe he was 1

748
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:06,320
character and now he's trying to
lead us to believe he's this

749
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,520
other character.
You don't get to be another

750
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:10,440
character midstream.
Yeah.

751
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,040
What do I always tell you, The
people that I grew up with that

752
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:16,000
were rebellious back in the day,
The thing that breaks my heart

753
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:19,960
the most is when I find out that
they've just basically succumbed

754
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,120
to the system, right?
Yeah, Yep.

755
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:24,240
Like what?
What happened to your rebel

756
00:38:24,240 --> 00:38:27,000
spirit?
All right, so I can't, I can't

757
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:31,960
get the one picture just to pop
up so, but here's there it is.

758
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:40,320
Oh come on, I shouldn't have
clicked the button really.

759
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:44,960
You clicked the button.
It's so weird.

760
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,360
So it's that it's that house
that's the big, it's the big

761
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:48,760
house.
Why are you black?

762
00:38:49,720 --> 00:38:51,560
Is your your, your Cam?
Oh, there you are.

763
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:52,600
I'm going to go.
You're black.

764
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:56,440
So that's that's his house.
That's his house he grew up in.

765
00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:00,040
That's not Compton.
No, it's not Compton.

766
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,080
And no, he's like, you're
straight out of Compton.

767
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:03,920
I'm straight off the trailer.
Oh, that's so.

768
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:06,720
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
See right there.

769
00:39:06,720 --> 00:39:10,040
Kid Rock's actual childhood home
is not a trailer on sale for

770
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:13,760
$600,000.
It's it's it's, it's that it's,

771
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,560
it's that it's.
Not it's not a trailer.

772
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:21,520
No, no.
It looks like a plantation

773
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:23,880
estate.
Right, right.

774
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:26,840
It's, you know, there's the
house, you got the little guest

775
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:28,640
house back there.
I think that's the tennis court,

776
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,320
basketball court, whatever the
pools over here.

777
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:36,040
So yeah, it's, it's not, it's
I'm gonna.

778
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,760
But again, that's kind of like
with with Aaron Lewis and stain.

779
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:42,200
Some of the stuff he writes, You
think, Oh, you know, I'm a

780
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:44,040
country boy and shit.
And you realize, well, no, he's

781
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:45,560
not.
He lives in a in a posh.

782
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,320
He'd lived in a posh mansion in
Beverly Hills.

783
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,640
He didn't live out, but that
sells records, right?

784
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,960
But he's not standing up there
trying to convince me

785
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,200
politically how to think or
feel.

786
00:39:57,760 --> 00:39:59,840
Oh, agreed.
And I'm not I'm not comparing

787
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:01,720
that.
I'm just saying that you some

788
00:40:01,720 --> 00:40:05,360
people will think I thought he.
Tripped on acid.

789
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:06,960
Right.
Exactly.

790
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:08,200
For years.
That's what I'm saying.

791
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,320
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Some people will take those

792
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:14,400
lyrics and think that that's
actually it's like Bruce Spring.

793
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:17,960
Because they're so well written
that you and they're so and even

794
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,720
more so, so obviously they have
to mean something.

795
00:40:20,720 --> 00:40:24,040
They have to be well written.
But in the singer's case, they

796
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:25,960
have to be delivered in a way
that people.

797
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:29,320
Believe it correct.
That's and people.

798
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:32,000
Believed who?
Yeah, they believed all.

799
00:40:32,240 --> 00:40:34,520
All, all the lyrics that these
guys sang.

800
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:38,080
Yeah, exactly.
Which rightfully so, you know,

801
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:41,320
but they Bruce Springsteen
didn't live any of those lives

802
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:43,720
that he writes about.
No, Mellencamp did.

803
00:40:43,720 --> 00:40:47,000
Mellencamp I think is could be a
one of the true exceptions of

804
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:50,160
small town is small town is John
Mellencamp.

805
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:51,400
He understands it.
He.

806
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:56,560
He wrote it right, and he wrote
about the dichotomy is right.

807
00:40:56,560 --> 00:41:00,000
We're not the the struggle is
with with the races and things.

808
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:03,160
And he he was, he was that guy
that put a foot first in his

809
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:06,920
videos that was got backlash.
And the divide between the

810
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,120
farmer and the city folk.
Right, right.

811
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:11,120
So, But yeah, that's what I'm
saying.

812
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:14,360
And that's why I think his music
resonated with the world in the

813
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:15,680
80s.
Because of that.

814
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,200
Sure.
You know his because his music's

815
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,000
great.
He's just, he's just an ass now,

816
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,600
which isn't.
And he's way political and way

817
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,280
opinionated and it's what he's
not fun to go see anymore.

818
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:27,680
You know?
You don't.

819
00:41:27,720 --> 00:41:30,240
It's like Eddie Vedder.
Pearl Jam was great when 10 came

820
00:41:30,240 --> 00:41:32,320
out, man, they were great.
It's like, holy shit, they.

821
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:34,440
Lost their way after biology in
my.

822
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:37,160
Opinion they did, and it got and
it got too opinionated.

823
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:39,360
I agreed.
He got too opinionated.

824
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:42,480
He got way too political.
Just like, fuck up.

825
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:45,600
And play your music right.
Just shut up.

826
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,280
And that's.
What I wanted to say to everyone

827
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:52,120
who and everyone that I knew
would accept my opinion.

828
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:53,880
I've told him this.
Yep.

829
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:56,040
Whatever you wanted to watch,
watch it.

830
00:41:56,200 --> 00:42:00,640
But if you watched it because
you thought you were doing the

831
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:04,120
right thing by not watching the
other one, Yeah.

832
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:05,680
You know, I like to say this a
lot.

833
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:07,520
Fuck you.
Yep.

834
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:08,720
Literally.
Yep.

835
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:12,640
Yep.
That's just music is beautiful.

836
00:42:12,720 --> 00:42:14,920
Just watch the one you wanted to
watch because you wanted to

837
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:17,040
watch it.
But please don't tell me you did

838
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:20,280
it because you thought you were
doing the right thing by turning

839
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:22,960
your nose up at someone who is
speaking a different language.

840
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:26,520
Please, what do you like?
6 No.

841
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:29,520
So here's a six year old doesn't
talk like that or even believe

842
00:42:29,720 --> 00:42:32,120
anything like that because they
haven't been taught that yet.

843
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:34,680
Yep.
So here's this and I'm going to

844
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:38,480
share this because this is this
is someone who controlled the

845
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:44,720
world with his mere presence.
This is old scene of war

846
00:42:44,720 --> 00:42:47,480
protesters.
And would you today refuse to be

847
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:51,080
drafted?
Honey, I just I just seem to

848
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:54,040
keep my own personal views about
that to myself because I'm I'm,

849
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:56,920
I'm just an entertainer and I I
really not say do you.

850
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:59,280
Think other entertainers should
also keep their views to

851
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:02,640
themselves?
Agreed.

852
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:05,960
There you go, Ricky Gervais says
it best.

853
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:10,160
Take your ward and fuck off.
You have no, you're so removed

854
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:13,360
from from the day-to-day life
and the day-to-day struggles of,

855
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:15,320
of of America.
Just fuck off.

856
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:17,920
Yeah, just shut up.
You're an entertainer.

857
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:19,560
You get paid to entertain.
That's it.

858
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:24,160
And even more important than
that, that's how I end every

859
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:26,840
political argument that someone
wants to get into with me.

860
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:30,000
They're the haves you're the
have, not you just haven't

861
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:33,200
figured it out yet because it's
adorable the way you think that

862
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:39,080
you still that those people have
any care about what happens to

863
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:41,640
you on a day-to-day basis.
Yeah, because they don't.

864
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:42,600
They don't.
They don't.

865
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:46,480
Politicians.
Can't they have too many other

866
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:49,720
things that they have to do to
keep the status that they've

867
00:43:49,720 --> 00:43:50,840
attained?
Right?

868
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:52,760
That's not easy.
That's a full time job.

869
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:56,160
Yeah.
Yep, Yep.

870
00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:01,000
So the fact that they tried to
divide us over music was super

871
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:06,160
disappointing to me.
Agreed and and from what I heard

872
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:11,280
about the the the non halftime
show it it, it flopped horribly.

873
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,040
It flopped.
And now all these bands are

874
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:17,840
pulling out of his tour, which
kudos to them, Creed was one of

875
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:20,440
them.
But I will say this, I do think

876
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:24,160
the halftime show needs to go
back to at least a rock'n'roll

877
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:26,320
or a pop rock like you've been
enough years.

878
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:29,840
Now that's what I learned during
this one is it wasn't ever that

879
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:32,400
it was always the most popular
act at the time.

880
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:38,520
I I get that, but you can't tell
me that that OK, there's, but

881
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:40,640
they're looking at, are they
looking at the most popular act

882
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:44,360
or they look at the most popular
act in that genre, because the

883
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:48,160
same genre has been this, the
same genre has been done now

884
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:49,720
what, four or five years in a
row?

885
00:44:49,720 --> 00:44:53,920
Those are the that unfortunately
for people that don't want to

886
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:57,760
hear this, that is the most
popular music on earth.

887
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:00,640
And this is being I am not a
fan.

888
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:04,680
Let me rephrase that.
I like and appreciate their

889
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:07,440
music.
I do not follow it, but if Chris

890
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:10,640
Dunham says, hey, you need to
listen to this new Shakira song

891
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:14,120
because it kicks ass, I'm going
to check it out because it kicks

892
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:18,440
ass according to you.
My point in telling you this is

893
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:23,760
I have people that I know,
respect and understand that part

894
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:27,840
of the music business well
enough to tell me that is the

895
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:31,120
most popular music on Earth,
whether you want to admit it or

896
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,720
not.
That's why it's in all the dance

897
00:45:33,720 --> 00:45:36,400
clubs.
It's the most downloaded music

898
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:42,320
by far.
The fact that Megadeth has the

899
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:45,920
number one album on Billboard
Top 200 gives me hope.

900
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:48,680
Yeah, I'm not sure how long
they'll be there.

901
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:52,560
And I and I doubt Megadeth will
play the Super Bowl.

902
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:55,440
Just saying.
No, and I I hope they wouldn't

903
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:58,000
for the same reason that I just
said I'm disappointed in the

904
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:00,960
people who grew up with me, that
were rebellious, that gave up on

905
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:03,880
that.
Megadeth and Metallica are anti

906
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:06,080
establishment right?
I don't want to see Metallica at

907
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:07,480
the fucking halftime show
either.

908
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:12,520
No, yeah, I thought that would
be good.

909
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:15,400
But it would be good though, if
you had, if you had, you know.

910
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:18,880
If they both agreed to do it
together, I'll I'll let him do

911
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:21,120
it.
See, I think Ozzy would have

912
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:24,000
been a great halftime show.
No question, but he probably

913
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:29,280
told the fuck off too, right?
Well, and yeah, yeah.

914
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:30,760
They may have asked him, we
don't know.

915
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:33,640
You know what was interesting
that I saw something recently?

916
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:36,040
Prince because Prince did a
halftime show, which.

917
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:37,640
Was the best.
One my two favorite halftime

918
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:41,520
shows yeah my two favorite ones
were Prince and U2U2 just

919
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:43,960
because the time it was it was
during the that was a good one

920
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:45,400
at 11 couldn't agree with you
more.

921
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:48,280
And visually, they had the
screen behind them and they were

922
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:50,600
rolling all the names of
everybody that lost your lives

923
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:53,640
during the terrorist attacks.
You just can never overcome the

924
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:56,800
fact that Prince made it rain in
the middle of purple rain.

925
00:46:57,240 --> 00:46:58,400
Right.
Like, how's that?

926
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:01,160
Possible he's Prince.
He is Prince.

927
00:47:02,240 --> 00:47:04,640
I did this.
So Speaking of Prince, he

928
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:08,800
something in the Stranger Things
season 5 Purple Rain popped up

929
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:12,760
on one of the episodes.
So he's now one of only a

930
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:15,440
handful of artists that have
charted in the 70s, eighties,

931
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:18,680
nineties, 2000s, two thousand
10's and two thousand 20s.

932
00:47:18,720 --> 00:47:26,880
That is crazy. 6 decades, man.
Dude to ME666X no problem.

933
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:30,120
The beast that is almost hard to
comprehend.

934
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:34,280
Bright, That's yeah.
Every time I every time we this

935
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:36,960
now, I'm going to my Instagram,
going to pull up prints now

936
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:39,160
because every time I mention
them, everybody listens and then

937
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:41,240
they start.
I get to play the purple rain

938
00:47:41,240 --> 00:47:45,440
reels and shit.
It's nobody appreciated him as

939
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:48,360
much, I think when he's alive
because it's just, oh, he's

940
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:49,880
coming out with something new.
He's coming out with something

941
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:52,880
new.
I did only only because I.

942
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:54,720
Got this.
I wouldn't have, and I'm going

943
00:47:54,720 --> 00:47:58,880
to be brutally honest, but I got
a chance to see him live and he

944
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:02,280
did a version of Jimi Hendrix
Red House in the middle of his

945
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:06,000
show that just I.
I about fell.

946
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:09,600
Over, Dude, I was like, I mean,
trust me, I enjoyed the show.

947
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:12,840
It was great, Yeah, but he's
like, we're going to have a.

948
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:14,960
Little fun here.
I just want to play my guitar

949
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:16,640
for a minute.
Is that in my mind?

950
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:20,160
If I play my guitar, of course,
fucking crowd goes crazy, Right?

951
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:20,560
Right.
Right.

952
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:24,640
And he rips into Red House and
I'm like, Oh my God, this guy

953
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:28,000
can tread.
Yeah, He played like a 3 1/2

954
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:30,520
minute solo in the middle of Red
House that just made you want to

955
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:32,320
cry.
You know, similar to the

956
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:35,440
stealing the show at the Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame.

957
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:39,840
Hall of Fame.
I said the.

958
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:41,240
Same thing when I witnessed it
with.

959
00:48:41,240 --> 00:48:41,840
My own.
Eyes.

960
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:44,160
I was like, holy shit, Prince
can shred.

961
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:47,520
Yeah.
Yeah, and.

962
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:50,560
Play the Blues and play rock.
And play pop.

963
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:55,080
And I mean, the guy was just, he
understood music on a level that

964
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:57,240
very few people probably ever
will.

965
00:48:57,800 --> 00:48:59,760
Agreed.
He must have been.

966
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:01,440
In tune with all those
frequencies.

967
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:04,560
Just something because because
it ooze through it.

968
00:49:04,720 --> 00:49:06,680
It's, it's kind of we, we were
somewhere.

969
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:10,960
Nick and I were somewhere and I
heard he made it sound too easy.

970
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:13,080
Yeah.
We heard a eagle.

971
00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:16,800
Song oh I can't tell you why and
that that part Eagle song where

972
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:21,480
I can't tell you why when they
go like who the fuck is hitting

973
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:25,360
in in in the in the studio
writing this song thinks we

974
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:30,280
should do right there Timothy
Schmidt I just you just.

975
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:35,000
You just you just those.
Things like I never, I've never

976
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:37,800
had, I've never had that in my
head when we when we wrote

977
00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:40,560
songs, I never thought, Oh, this
would be really cool right here,

978
00:49:40,720 --> 00:49:43,520
because I just was.
I would just I follow the music,

979
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:46,520
I think more than people think I
did when we were writing stuff

980
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:49,640
and and then the live would be
where I would improv it because

981
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:51,560
then I would just get into that
comfort zone.

982
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:54,680
And then that would, you know,
would change the evolution of

983
00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:57,680
the song.
But you just said it your songs.

984
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:02,480
Like mine on guitar evolved into
something different later.

985
00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:05,480
We always had like a framework
that we worked around.

986
00:50:05,720 --> 00:50:07,920
Yeah, to get from beginning to
end.

987
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:10,480
Yeah.
But yeah, you would evolve.

988
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:13,120
The more you sang.
Each time, yeah.

989
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:17,480
Especially live, yeah.
Yeah, because.

990
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:19,360
Some of the things that artists
do, man, it just.

991
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:20,920
Blows my mind, like he thought
of that.

992
00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:23,800
How do you think of that?
How do you just sit around and

993
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:25,400
think, oh, I know it's going to
go good here?

994
00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:30,280
What the fuck, man?
How's that possible that that

995
00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:32,640
gets in your head?
You know as well.

996
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:35,680
You know as well as I do.
He might not have heard it.

997
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:39,560
The producer might have played
it back and said, hey, try this

998
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:40,400
here.
True, right?

999
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:42,000
True.
That's why they're sitting on

1000
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:43,320
the other side.
Of the glass we should.

1001
00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:45,080
Have we should have we should
you know what we should do?

1002
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:47,160
We.
Should have Lemoine back on and

1003
00:50:47,240 --> 00:50:49,880
and just have a conversation
with him about when he was

1004
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:53,560
producing artists and how much
he would how much he would

1005
00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:57,200
inject his ideas and thoughts
and how much of those ideas and

1006
00:50:57,200 --> 00:51:02,080
thoughts actually then were put
in to play and stayed in the

1007
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:02,680
final.
Here's a.

1008
00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:04,520
Here's an even better question
to.

1009
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:06,440
Add to those questions.
Yeah.

1010
00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:10,920
How do you know when to do that
without disrupting the flow of

1011
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:13,080
the artist's creativity?
Right.

1012
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:14,000
Yeah.
Yeah.

1013
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:19,560
Because there's times where you
know, if we were recording and I

1014
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:24,400
tried to talk to you about
changing something.

1015
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:27,200
Or trying something.
It was going to ruin the whole

1016
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:28,440
take, right?
Yeah.

1017
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:30,160
Yeah.
Sometimes we just had to keep

1018
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:33,200
playing it because you knew what
you wanted to do.

1019
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:34,880
We just weren't doing it.
Yeah.

1020
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:37,840
So there's a time when the
artist knows what they're trying

1021
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:40,000
to achieve.
And then there's a time where

1022
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:45,120
the artist is stuck right, where
you're like, I want to fill the

1023
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:46,440
space, but I don't know what to
do.

1024
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:54,760
Yeah.
Yep. 100%. 100% So who's winning

1025
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:55,600
the Super?
Bowl next year.

1026
00:51:57,720 --> 00:52:00,480
My money's already on the Bears.
They did bears.

1027
00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:01,840
What was the?
What are the odds for the?

1028
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:04,600
Bears.
I don't remember.

1029
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:07,920
I think we got like 5.
Minutes left.

1030
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:11,520
We might as well, you know.
What's what's the dealio for

1031
00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:15,000
next year?
They were probably plus 500 I'm

1032
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:16,360
guessing maybe.
More than that.

1033
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:34,560
NFL 1st overall pick Fernando
Mendoza minus. 10,000 you got to

1034
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:38,120
put up $10,000 to win 100 bucks
ladies and gentlemen the next

1035
00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:44,000
guy is plus 4500 wow it's.
Almost worth Raiders, right,

1036
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:46,840
Fernando?
Yeah, Unless they.

1037
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:50,320
Change their mind, but they're
not going to because they need a

1038
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:54,720
quarterback.
I mean, anything could.

1039
00:52:54,720 --> 00:52:56,360
Happen, but I don't see them
changing their.

1040
00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:59,600
Mind no.
Now will he start?

1041
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:01,160
Right away.
Because that's the thing that I

1042
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:02,520
I like.
Who's there?

1043
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:04,520
Dino Smith?
Yeah.

1044
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:07,320
I don't.
I don't know if the Raiders care

1045
00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:09,920
about Gino after the.
Season they had here Here's the

1046
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:12,120
thing I thought about with Eli
not making the Pro Bowl if.

1047
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:15,040
Ben McAdoo never sat him down on
the Hall of the Hall of Fame.

1048
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:18,640
If Ben McAdoo never sat him down
that that one week for in

1049
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:22,280
replace of Gino Smith, would he
have gotten in this time?

1050
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:27,400
Say that again.
OK, Eli had the longest

1051
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:29,800
consecutive.
Streak of playing a game with a

1052
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:34,080
quarterback ever.
And Ben McAdoo sat him down OK

1053
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:37,640
it's your only game he missed in
his 16 year career.

1054
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:41,640
Like you think that capped?
Him out No, I'm.

1055
00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:43,920
Just saying would if if that
never happened.

1056
00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:46,080
Because that's it, that's the
chink on the armor, right?

1057
00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:47,560
Right.
Because that's a chink on the

1058
00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:49,800
armor, right?
It's it's one of the things you

1059
00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:52,480
can argue till you're till
you're blue in the face, but

1060
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:55,360
that's one of those things.
Deion Sanders actually came out

1061
00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:58,640
agreeing with what we talked
about that the in the Pro Bowl,

1062
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:01,920
fuck the Pro Bowl.
The Hall of Fame should be voted

1063
00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:06,640
on by the Hall of Fame members.
Yes, period.

1064
00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:07,400
And I.
Agree with that.

1065
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:10,640
I missed too the.
Bears were plus 25. 100, not

1066
00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:13,400
plus 500.
OK, they're way down the list.

1067
00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:16,800
Yeah, that's why.
That's because they're the

1068
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:18,160
Bears.
That's because they're the

1069
00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:20,640
Bears, but it's because they're
Giants.

1070
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:22,880
You know, certain teams, you
just, you just, they've been

1071
00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:26,760
gone for so long.
You just, it's higher odds if

1072
00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:28,880
they win the Super Bowl.
I won 100.

1073
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:32,440
And 30 bucks for a $5 bet,
Bruno.

1074
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:35,560
I win more if the Giants win so.
The Giants must be lower than

1075
00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:38,640
the Bears.
I would hope so since you guys

1076
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:39,960
only.
Won what?

1077
00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:41,360
Two games?
2 two games.

1078
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:43,200
That's good.
Two games, but.

1079
00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:46,880
Hey, man, you know that's why
they play the game any given

1080
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:48,800
Sunday.
The future is bright, though.

1081
00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:51,440
You got John Harbaugh.
Yeah, and the people he's

1082
00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:53,680
putting around and people are.
Mad about the Matt Negi thing,

1083
00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:55,080
but I don't get why they're mad
about it.

1084
00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:57,680
Because he was the next OC for
years.

1085
00:54:57,680 --> 00:54:59,560
Yeah, he's a great offensive
coordinator.

1086
00:54:59,560 --> 00:55:01,200
Yeah.
He's not a head coach.

1087
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:02,680
He's a great offensive
coordinator.

1088
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:05,240
Yeah, it's like Kingsbury, not a
great head coach.

1089
00:55:05,240 --> 00:55:07,520
Good.
OC Gable not a good head coach,

1090
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:10,600
good OC and you need those.
Somebody's got to do that.

1091
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:13,160
Yeah, you tried it.
You failed.

1092
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:14,280
Now go back.
To your lane.

1093
00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:18,560
Yeah.
You guys got a quarterback, you

1094
00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:21,120
got a running back, you just.
Got a wide receiver, Malik

1095
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:25,800
Neighbors, Yeah.
Definitely need an offensive

1096
00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:27,720
line.
We've always we've been an

1097
00:55:27,720 --> 00:55:29,080
offensive line for a decade,
man.

1098
00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:30,360
I don't know.
Well, that was the Bears problem

1099
00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:32,880
for 100 years too, everybody.
Kept bitching about the

1100
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:36,520
quarterback and I was like, if
you only have a second to throw

1101
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:39,120
the ball, ladies and gentlemen,
you're not going to be a very

1102
00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:40,880
effective quarterback in the
NFL.

1103
00:55:41,720 --> 00:55:44,000
That was your that was the
Giants problem this year too.

1104
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:45,680
People just blasted through the
line.

1105
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:48,120
Well, they haven't had a
quarterback since the last.

1106
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:51,440
Couple, I'm sorry, a law offense
alignment since the last couple

1107
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:53,720
years Eli played because, you
know, they just didn't.

1108
00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:56,800
You know, that was the other
thing that that bugs me about,

1109
00:55:56,840 --> 00:55:58,800
you know, again, he's probably
the toughest quarterback that

1110
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:01,640
ever played the game.
Oh yeah, he kept getting back up

1111
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:03,960
every time.
He played an entire season with

1112
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:07,480
plantar flasciitis.
Oh, and that hurts so bad, I

1113
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:08,720
know.
People that have had it,

1114
00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:11,560
thankfully I've never had it,
but I know that I've been around

1115
00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:13,560
to have.
Holy crap, they say that's

1116
00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:16,000
painful.
Yep, Yep.

1117
00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:17,480
I don't think they.
Like Peyton.

1118
00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:19,520
So they're keeping Eli out for a
couple more years, which is

1119
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:20,920
fine.
I don't think Eli cares.

1120
00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:22,520
Really, Eli.
Or maybe they've been talking

1121
00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:23,960
too much mad shit on Monday
night.

1122
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:27,240
Football and maybe, well, Eli.
But see, that's the thing.

1123
00:56:27,240 --> 00:56:30,160
Like like Drew Brees played for
stats, Eli played to win.

1124
00:56:30,240 --> 00:56:32,720
So I think it's bullshit Drew
Brees got in his first ballot.

1125
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:36,200
I just, I, he was just just
anybody I've heard make the

1126
00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:38,600
argument for Drew Brees.
Says exactly what you and I

1127
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:41,280
discussed on that podcast where
you know, the first thing you're

1128
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:44,160
going to hear those people say
is, but Drew Brees did this and

1129
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:49,200
he averaged this and did that
and but Eli beat the GOAT twice

1130
00:56:50,760 --> 00:56:53,200
and was in the that's got to.
Count for something, yeah.

1131
00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:55,520
Yeah, they do.
I agree, but you know.

1132
00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:58,560
All you football fans agree,
whether you like it or not.

1133
00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:01,160
That because he won so many
Super Bowls, Tom Brady is

1134
00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:03,800
arguably the greatest
quarterback that's ever lived.

1135
00:57:03,880 --> 00:57:09,400
Agreed and I awarded.
Which is true, so if that counts

1136
00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:11,600
for something then why doesn't
he lies?

1137
00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:13,160
Right.
Can't have your cake and eat it

1138
00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:15,800
too, right?
You know, because.

1139
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:19,920
Yeah, yeah, I agree with that
100.

1140
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:22,760
Percent.
All right, boys and girls, if

1141
00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:25,440
you're feeling sad, depressed,
suicidal, don't do it.

1142
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:27,600
That's just a stupid thing to
do.

1143
00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:31,440
Go go outside, go go run, go
journal, go screaming a pillow.

1144
00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:33,200
Go find somebody to talk to you.
If you can't find somebody to

1145
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:35,200
talk to you, text 988.
Somebody's there to help you

1146
00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:37,760
understand your mindset and and
change it.

1147
00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:41,200
Tomorrow's a better day with you
in it, you know?

1148
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:43,840
So don't leave a hole in
somebody else's heart.

1149
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:47,680
And if you're struggling with
addiction, just be aware that

1150
00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:51,240
you too can overcome because 21
years is no laughing matter.

1151
00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:54,360
But I hit that 2 days ago.
So it's not real, dude.

1152
00:57:57,680 --> 00:57:59,800
It's not real, man.
It's not a real chip.

1153
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:01,280
It's not real, bro.
Yeah.

1154
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:02,920
And.
And to you, Jeffrey Brown, who?

1155
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:05,520
Who slammed?
That and, you know, cried foul.

1156
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:07,680
I hope you have a better day,
man 'cause that was kind of

1157
00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:09,200
dickish of you to to post on
something.

1158
00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:11,320
It was full of nothing.
I'll sell it for my brother.

1159
00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:13,640
Yeah.
Nothing but positivity.

1160
00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:18,440
And you had to just don't ever.
And I mean this.

1161
00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:21,280
It's the same thing.
I I'll say this real quick

1162
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:24,680
because I'm super proud of it.
I use words that you should not

1163
00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:28,000
all the time towards people who
aren't that way.

1164
00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:30,640
I have never made fun of
somebody who couldn't defend

1165
00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:35,160
themselves.
Don't ever put negativity into

1166
00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:38,760
someone celebrating their
recovery from addiction.

1167
00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:41,960
That is a Dick move.
Yeah.

1168
00:58:42,560 --> 00:58:44,400
Yeah.
So congratulations.

1169
00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:46,960
Brother, thank you.
I appreciate it, super proud of

1170
00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:47,920
you.
You wouldn't be the.

1171
00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:50,160
Man, you are today had.
You not made that choice, so

1172
00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:52,920
Amen.
So we'll just put this back on

1173

1174
00:58:54,240 --> 00:59:27,520

Where you will go.

Feel the trail behind your eyes.
Feel yourself and meet yourself.

1176
00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:39,480
Take a moment.
Look at your tear fight.

1177
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:43,880
Your bail.
That you must weed fight your

1178
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:49,600
bail, but you must weed.
Oh, is this baby to your finger?

He's going to the rabbit and he
put in the wind.

You ain't no quizzes.
We're playing Found and you took

1184
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:35,600

You gotta dream Who in your life
