right, it's out of my grasp Things

2:00

are good. How are you doing? Everything

2:03

good, man. Good to be back home. Little

2:07

man broke his collarbone. Last

2:12

night we were at Freddy's baseball game,

2:14

which you were appalled to see that

2:16

they've only got large market teams

2:19

in his league. It's disgusting.

2:21

The Braves, the Yankees, Astros,

2:25

things of that nature. Phillies, yeah,

2:27

come on. Yeah, yeah. But

2:31

yeah, Gustav forgets every three or four hours

2:33

that he's hurt and then he puts weight

2:35

on it and then he starts crying and

2:37

it's the whole cycle. So we're gonna manage

2:39

through it. It's gonna be four to six

2:41

weeks. He's on the shelf floor. He's

2:44

on the DL and we're just gonna take it

2:46

a day at a time, Randy. That's

2:50

all we can do, TC. Listen, I

2:52

got a good segue here. Speaking

2:54

of Gustav, a tackling

2:57

incident, a broken collarbone, I'm sure

2:59

he wishes that never even happened.

3:02

And while we can't repair broken bones,

3:43

March. I think it was like March 13th. I

3:47

wanna apologize to Bill

3:49

Foley personally. This

3:52

is on the heels of another mea

3:55

culpa about the owner of Whitefish

3:57

Mountain Resort. Tough one, the mea

3:59

culpa is... Compound, you know, yeah

4:01

a nesting doll a Russian nesting

4:03

doll of mea culpa's I'm

4:06

told I'm told I Listen,

4:09

this is this is just hearsay, but many

4:11

people are saying that I referred to them as the

4:13

Vegas black night They're actually

4:16

the Golden Knights. No, I Apologize

4:19

to bill Foley. I apologize to Gary

4:21

player and all the Golden Knights fans

4:23

out there. So But

4:26

really I wanted to use this may

4:28

a culpa session again Thank you to

4:30

serve pro to really demand a may

4:32

a culpa from poosh and KVV on

4:34

Justin Fields I think time we've

4:37

been you know pooshes said he's

4:39

refusing where it kind of an impasse He's

4:42

refusing to do so until you

4:44

apologize for your supportive Jimmy

4:46

Garoppolo Yeah, James G, which

4:49

do you give anything to say there? Well,

4:51

I think we're a wait and see with

4:53

Jimmy G You know getting picked up by

4:55

McVeigh and the Rams obviously they see something

4:57

there They want to bring him in they

4:59

trust him to be a backup Listen

5:02

all he's done is win games wherever he's

5:04

gone. I Just

5:06

I don't feel comfortable yet apologizing for

5:08

Jimmy G But but I do think

5:10

that should not stop mr. Poosh and

5:12

KVV from Definitivly

5:15

once and for all apologizing for Justin

5:18

Fields. Yeah, Justin Fields getting

5:20

traded to Steelers for a sixth round pick

5:22

and then Ross, you

5:25

know Jobs never finished with

5:27

Russ. Obviously, we know that Russ

5:29

Russ is named the undisputed starter.

5:32

There's no quarterback controversy and

5:34

then you know steel ship ship malcontent

5:36

Can he pick it over to the

5:38

Eagles the fact that you

5:41

know, the Cowboys gave the the Niners

5:43

a far better return

5:45

for Trey Lance then And

5:48

the Bears got for Justin Fields like a

5:50

sixth rounder Wild and

5:52

you got to explain to me how

5:54

they've said there will not be a

5:56

call quarterback controversy It's it's Russ's job.

5:58

But yet fields is on isn't he

6:00

on the last year of his like

6:02

don't they have to make a decision on the option so what

6:05

are they going to spend however

6:07

much money after this season to bring back for if

6:09

nothing about it makes sense to me I don't get

6:11

it yeah so anyway

6:14

we we I guess we're still

6:16

at an impasse on

6:18

the the main culprits so we're going

6:20

to talk we're going to give push

6:22

an opportunity we're going

6:24

to have another ball knowers pot around

6:26

the draft so we'll see we'll see if he

6:29

changes his tune by then but yeah

6:31

I will say TC it sounds

6:33

like the Pittsburgh Steelers are trying to

6:36

make that quarterback room last year

6:38

like it never even happened so

6:40

good good on them they've completely

6:42

cleared up that mess and like

6:44

I said if anybody needs disaster

6:46

relief call surf pro they're wonderful

6:48

6:50

that where we got a chock full

6:52

chop session today we got so much

6:54

7:12

that front I know Cody's tracking kind

7:15

of a stolen valor situation a

7:18

political controversy out in Montana all

7:22

sorts of stuff going on there I know

7:24

he was he was tracking some some Iranian

7:27

drone stuff as well and

7:30

then yeah obviously he said the

7:32

ball knowers were watching loads of

7:34

film right now to gear up

7:36

for the draft we're evaluating agency

7:38

we'll talk a little bit about you

7:40

know check back in on sports a little bit

7:43

toward the end of this and not listen not

7:45

to not to pick on our poor dear

7:47

friend Mr. Poosh but last night you know he

7:49

texts TC and I and he's like Jaden

7:52

McDaniels or Drake May

7:54

you you gotta rank him and I think

7:56

TC and I like Mr. Poosh we're not

7:59

comfortable ranking either I don't know if we like

8:01

either one. He's like well if you had to pick one. I'm

8:03

like I I Reject

8:05

your question. That is exactly minutes

8:08

So mr. Poosh is already trying to maneuver

8:10

us into into bad spots. I see what

8:13

he's doing and I'm proud of us We're

8:15

not gonna take it TC don't like it

8:17

Randy. I don't like it. You know what?

8:19

I do like DJ and I

8:22

were prepping for a chops a top

8:24

chef perfect club May and

8:26

then I'm just asking people you got to

8:28

be patient with me on the airports pod

8:30

All right, things are moving so quickly in

8:32

that space There's so

8:34

much shit flying around trying to

8:36

get an air traffic controller on the horn I'm trying

8:38

to get a pilot on for that all sorts. Yeah,

8:40

I'm going on there. So With

8:43

that said Randy, I just wanted to one

8:46

other thing that I wish would have

8:48

never happened We need to clean up

8:50

sister jeans bracket was released by the

8:52

official NCAA tournament handle Well,

8:55

it wasn't even in the tournament. He wasn't

8:57

even in the bracket. What are we doing?

9:01

Well, I tell you what sister Jean is

9:03

now a hundred and four years old So

9:05

where I said TC I feel like sister

9:07

Jean's kind of stunting on you You

9:10

know, you've been you've been low-key wishing

9:12

for her demise for years now. No,

9:14

no She

9:16

just keeps living the good life.

9:18

Listen, she's enjoying life in triple

9:20

digits I don't understand why we're

9:23

hating on this poor lady. No,

9:25

I'm fine She can enjoy it all she

9:27

wants but don't force me to enjoy it,

9:29

too Don't force don't force it

9:32

on my timeline Randy All right

9:34

I did think if I had a nit to pick,

9:36

you know I think sister Jean was getting a little

9:38

too cute with that bracket of hers. I Think

9:41

she had you know, she she likes

9:43

to play favorites She always favors that

9:45

the Catholic schools the Jesuit schools and

9:47

listen, I'm not here for it sister

9:49

Jean I think you should put

9:51

your best effort forward and let

9:54

the chips fall where they may Randy

9:56

Randy hates the Catholic. There

10:00

is a bringing in in the

10:02

village of marry my lord I

10:04

idea of I'm with you D

10:23

C I can't think of a

10:25

better match. Let's bring a full

10:27

circle. Ah I guess I think

10:30

the Uk fans had to be

10:32

ecstatic to see coached I'll leave

10:35

Canada rare deal were acidic. Both

10:37

schools improve with that like Uk

11:01

11:05

The Dominoes would lead the Uk having

11:08

to fill a coaching position. But here

11:10

15:16

We a big things plan T C jump

15:18

on board were happy to have your. Ah,

15:22

Your back in Colorado you moved

15:25

at and moving Sox are the

15:27

worst. Yeah it really sucks. Ah

15:29

any any last gas ski season

15:32

have you steal your last day.

15:34

Of. Years new are still open was

15:37

what's the status of ski season. But.

15:39

Yeah. Ski season so gone on

15:41

open mountains. I think I have skied

15:43

my lifestyle lives. I'm I'm not going

15:45

to serve coated not a good skier.

15:47

The sheer for me. Did. Not Do

15:49

not make it up that much. Of.

15:52

A. Combination. Of factors.

15:56

Is what it is. Expensive

15:58

skiing this year did. I feel like I didn't

16:00

get my money's worth out of the passes. But

16:03

I, you know, it is what it is. I

16:06

think unless,

16:08

I mean, shoot, it's going to be mid seventies

16:11

this weekend. So it's just hard to get in

16:13

the frame of mind to go

16:15

up and try to get some turns in. I

16:17

think if the weather were to turn super cold

16:19

and we get another big snow storm here in

16:21

Denver, maybe I, you could

16:24

twist my arm, go up for another day

16:26

or two of skiing, but I think I've

16:28

skied my last day this season and it

16:30

won't be a season to remember. Unfortunately, TC.

16:33

I hate that. How many days did you get in? I

16:36

got seven days.

16:39

Wow. That's good. I

16:42

know. Five of them were before the new year. Wow.

16:45

So two days and basically

16:47

once. Not

16:49

good. It's not good. Yeah. Now

16:53

we spent a cut, you know, we

16:55

spent a few weeks in the Southern

16:57

Hemisphere. I was going to say, my

16:59

defense, I spent 23 days between Australia

17:01

and New Zealand in January, February, you

17:05

know, went home for a weekend for the Red Hawk 50.

17:09

Just some stuff comes up. Yeah.

17:11

Yeah. OK. Speaking of

17:13

skiing, there was a piece in the New

17:15

York Times on Aspen opening

17:19

up their first kind of

17:21

new territory in decades.

17:24

Yeah. And it was it was just all

17:26

about the influencer scene out in Aspen. It

17:28

was awesome. Spectacular. It was like

17:31

everything that you loathe

17:33

about society at large and probably

17:36

about ski culture. Yeah,

17:38

I know. I don't like that part of ski

17:40

culture. I don't like the, you know,

17:43

let's dress up and fill the outfits. I'm

17:46

fine with apare. It's it's the

17:48

it's the like, let's just get wasted.

17:51

I don't I don't know. I'm just I guess I'm

17:53

not down with that part of it. But sure, I'll

17:55

have a drink. Let's have a beer, whatever. I'm

17:58

not really down with people dressing up in. like the

18:00

banana suits and the, you

18:02

know, all the different stuff to go skiing. I'm

18:04

not one to like do the last day of

18:07

the year where you try to like ski over

18:09

the water. I think if

18:11

I've learned anything about my self. You're definitely not into that

18:13

because you've only been twice off. Exactly.

18:15

I don't even think you're qualified to celebrate

18:19

the last day of the year. I think

18:21

net net, I've just learned about myself. I'm

18:23

very much a fair weather skier. I like

18:25

skiing in good snow and I like not

18:27

having a ton of crowd around. And that's

18:30

usually a tough kind of

18:32

combination to tough needle

18:35

to thread there. But, um, yeah,

18:37

you can just miss me with all like the

18:39

party and the celebrate. I don't know if we're

18:41

going to, it's kind of like golf. If we're

18:43

going to ski, like let's ski, you know, like

18:46

let's, let's, let's make it a real pursuit. Randy,

18:48

I will say on the flip side though, it

18:50

could be something where there's so

18:52

many, there's so many people influencing out

18:54

there and doing the partying that the

18:56

slopes are actually wide open. You

18:58

know, that would be a dream. Yeah. Well,

19:00

in the, in the article, if people want to

19:02

read it, it's from the New York times, it

19:04

was, um, uh, what date

19:07

March 15th. It's one of

19:09

the best comments sections I've ever seen

19:11

on any New York times article ever.

19:13

It's fantastic. Yeah. They, uh, the,

19:15

the, the headline Aspen has 153 new acres

19:17

of terrain. Cue

19:20

the champagne. And they just talk about

19:22

how it's attracting snow

19:25

lovers, diehard skiers, but also influencers

19:28

and other people. It's yeah.

19:31

TC, I feel like we're heading for a

19:33

reckoning with, with the ski culture and ski

19:35

towns out West, it feels pretty

19:37

unsustainable right now. People

19:39

can't live in these towns. Yeah.

19:41

Like, like the people that work the mountains, the

19:44

people that make like the ski towns, vibrant

19:46

and unique, like they're just getting priced

19:48

out all over. It's really a shame.

19:51

Randy, I was, I was having the same

19:53

conversation with, uh, one of our caddies in

19:55

St. Andrew's last week. Uh,

19:58

he was saying he's one of the few. Few,

20:00

you know, last of a dying breed of

20:02

caddies who were born raised and still live

20:04

in St. Andrews because nobody can afford to

20:06

live in St. Andrews anymore. Yeah.

20:09

Everybody's getting priced out of town. So

20:12

similar deal there. Yeah. I just wanted to

20:14

call attention really before we end the monitoring.

20:16

It didn't fit in there. The

20:18

Reds beat rider. This guy is sick.

20:21

Well, you just explained what's going on

20:23

there. Yeah, we

20:25

got a Reds beat rider. Let

20:29

me see. I don't even know. So this

20:31

was brought to my attention. I guess Solly's been all over

20:33

this. His name's

20:35

Gordon Whittenmeyer and

20:37

he's over from the Cubs. I

20:40

don't know what newspaper he is with with Chicago,

20:42

but he's with the Cincinnati Inquirer. Oh,

20:48

the Chicago Sun Times. But

20:50

he does. He keeps a regular Cubs

20:52

podcast. Essentially, the Reds have a beat

20:55

rider who is an open fan of

20:57

one of their biggest rivals and this

20:59

guy just tweets the most passive aggressive

21:02

stuff. Pretty much any Reds

21:04

related tweet he sends out is just met

21:06

with the wall of comments just

21:09

telling him to go F himself. Basically,

21:11

it's a pretty sick dynamic. He's

21:14

like trolling. People hate him.

21:16

Everybody's up in arms. It's

21:18

yeah. I don't follow

21:20

the guy. So this is where I'm a little late to the

21:23

party. I think Solly and then

21:25

DJ were all over this guy. Gordon Whittenmeyer.

21:29

Yeah, he was calling for

21:31

Eli Dilla Cruz to be sent back to

21:34

AAA. All

21:36

sorts of stuff. So I've heard of him. Bad

21:39

guy. Bad guy. And if

21:42

he's listening, if he wants to come on and

21:44

explain himself, you're more than welcome, Gordon.

21:48

Or you can come on with the

21:50

Seamsters Union sometime. But yeah, check out.

21:53

Yeah. Speaking of the Seamsters

21:55

Union, I enjoyed Yell's baseball

21:58

preview. Any plans to... keep

22:00

that going throughout the season. Are there going to be kind

22:02

of court, you know, monthly check-ins

22:04

or kind of an all-star break

22:06

mid-year check-in? Yeah, I

22:09

think we'll check in before that. I think the plan

22:11

was to kind of be maybe quarterly

22:13

once a month, once every

22:15

month and a half. I, so I

22:17

get to envision us doing maybe five,

22:19

six throughout the course of the season

22:21

between now and October. Okay. Um,

22:23

yeah, just good place to talk. Paul, TC,

22:26

we'd love to have you on a seamsters

22:28

union podcast. If you're up to it. I

22:30

mean, Randy, we're going against each other in our, in

22:32

our fantasy league. I know.

22:34

God, I was trying to wrestle Spencer steer

22:36

from you, uh, in

22:38

spring training. You just weren't having it. NL

22:40

player of the week, my man. I know.

22:42

You just weren't having it. You

22:44

beat the shit out of, out of, out of home a

22:47

lot. I did. I did. That

22:49

felt good. Uh, Randy,

22:52

anything else, uh,

22:54

on the red, uh, on the, on the seamsters

22:56

front, do you want to get ahead of anything?

22:58

Anything you got absolutely maliciously

23:00

wrong on that pod? Well,

23:03

I, I, I kind of, I,

23:07

I downgraded the Yankees. They're, they're kind of

23:09

thrown in my face early in the season.

23:11

Um, so some

23:13

yanks fans aren't happy. We'll see a lot

23:15

of that's the thing about baseball, TC, lot

23:18

of season, lot of season. I don't even

23:20

think it's worth looking at the standing still

23:22

after Memorial Day. Um, super

23:25

high on Spencer Strider. It looks like he's

23:27

headed for Tommy John surgery, which is a

23:29

big bummer. Uh, I

23:31

know low sprays are, are disappointed,

23:34

but yeah, I don't think, besides

23:37

that, I don't think anything flagrantly

23:39

wrong. Okay. We'll see. We'll

23:41

see. It seems like everybody's headed for Tommy

23:43

John surgery. Yeah, I know. Which

23:45

is sick because of the pictures that,

23:47

well, the MLB players association came out

23:50

with a strongly worded statement, essentially blaming

23:52

the pitch clock. And then MLB

23:54

came back and was like, no, you guys

23:56

are idiots. Here's like studies we've done. We

23:59

got some. fighting over the pitch clock but

24:01

I do say I think the players are

24:04

in the wrong because it's it's very popular

24:06

with fans I don't think they're gonna I

24:08

don't think they want to put that genie back

24:10

inside the bottle I think the pitch clock

24:12

has been wonderful wouldn't the

24:15

pitch clock like wouldn't a lot of the

24:17

players especially the hitters like the pitch clock

24:22

yeah I would think so given more

24:24

time back in their day yeah

24:26

I know that's the only thing you can't

24:28

buy right the

24:30

time it's the most valuable resource we

24:32

have yeah yeah they're just a monolith

24:35

though so I don't think the hitters

24:37

are gonna come out publicly and say

24:39

anything like that should start their own

24:41

Union pitchers and start their own Union

24:43

yeah yeah I mean I'm gonna say

24:45

like though seems like it's like velocity

24:47

right like everybody's throwing yeah everybody's back

24:50

after yeah everybody's trying to

24:52

get as much spin on the baseball and throw it as

24:54

hard as they can it's max effort the

24:56

whole game like the game's just changing and

24:58

it's not like the human body is

25:00

not equipped for what the pitchers are

25:02

trying to do so I

25:06

don't know what the fix is but I certainly

25:08

don't subscribe to the notion that it's the fault

25:10

of the pitch clock I'm not

25:12

buying that Randy

25:15

I gotta give you a shout out

25:17

I watched it I a I listen

25:19

to the Oscars pod and be at the urging of

25:22

DJ I watched it on the plane

25:24

ride over to to

25:26

Germany and then to Scotland I

25:29

watched dream scenario with Nick Cage yeah

25:32

I only watch I only watch maybe

25:35

two maybe three movies a year so

25:39

you know high kind of high

25:42

pressure there and one

25:44

of the best movies I've seen in years it

25:46

was awesome it was I mean

25:48

it had my brain in

25:50

a pretzel I was I was howling it

25:53

was so dark and funny and yeah

25:55

just so many like I need to watch it again

25:57

it was it was spectacular.

26:00

It was everything I love about Nick Cage. Yeah,

26:02

that's what I was going to say. He

26:05

was, he was, he's just in his element.

26:07

You're exactly right. It's, it's a wonderfully weird,

26:09

just perfect Nick Cage movie. If anybody hasn't

26:11

seen it, it's great. Have you seen the

26:14

pig yet, TC? Did you ever see the

26:16

pig with Nick Cage? I

26:18

did not. That's the one where he's got the truffle

26:20

pig. Yeah. Yeah. I think, I think

26:23

you might have to make that one of your other

26:25

movies at 2024. Because that's

26:27

just very weird and very Nick Cage-y as

26:29

well. If you give me, you

26:32

know, if you keep hitting on

26:34

these, on these recommendations, I'm going to watch

26:36

more movies. That's just how it's going to

26:38

work. I know. Yeah.

26:40

Well, I'm happy to hear that. I'm very happy

26:43

to hear that. Fig, anything

26:45

you've been, been, you know,

26:47

reading, eating, drinking, watching, listening

26:49

to? I've

26:53

been in a bad, I've been out of habit of

26:55

reading recently just because of the move. I feel like,

26:57

you know, you just get out of certain routines. So

26:59

I gotta, I gotta get back into the swing of

27:01

things. Oh, I'll tell you something. I watched TC. Actually

27:05

at the behest of my father, which,

27:08

you know, is always, there's about a

27:10

50 50 success rate there,

27:12

but I did think it was pretty good.

27:15

It's on Apple TV. It's, it's a series

27:17

called masters of the air, which is kind

27:19

of a story about these air

27:21

force guys in world war two. I

27:23

thought it was a good series. And then I

27:25

asked Cody because I watched it all. I enjoyed

27:27

it, but I needed my opinions validated by Sarge

27:30

and he, he gave it two thumbs

27:32

up green light sign off. He said

27:35

it is a good, good series. So

27:37

anybody's looking for like a war drama,

27:39

you know, tug at your heartstrings a

27:42

little masters of the air on,

27:44

on Apple TV is good. Awesome.

27:46

Okay. But yeah, besides

27:48

that not, you know, don't

27:51

have a lot to report otherwise. I'm curious

27:53

though, besides, you know, obviously you watch dream

27:55

scenario and anything percolating on your end. Yeah.

27:57

I got a few things. I want to

27:59

Shout out Jeanetta's Gelateria

28:02

in St. Andrews. Okay.

28:05

Have you been there? I maybe, I

28:07

hope so. Where, what kind of down at

28:09

the end of towards the Cathedral

28:13

down kind of. By the fish and

28:15

chips? Yeah, it's

28:17

like, it's kind of, I don't know if it's South

28:19

Street or North Street, but it's kind of a little

28:21

bit of a walk from the done vegan and all

28:23

that stuff. But it's, yeah, it's kind

28:25

of a lightish green entrance

28:28

and stuff. Big, I mean, big ice cream

28:30

shop, but you went there. I

28:32

was blown away. It was, it was unbelievable. I've been

28:34

to St. Andrews five or six times now. Never been

28:36

there before. So I heard you guys also got to

28:38

the Thai place right next to. Did

28:41

pop up Thai. Yeah. Yeah.

28:44

God, what's the name of that little bar in the, in the basement there that

28:46

it's right next to Molly. Yeah. Why

28:48

do I want to say Molly Malone? It's not that

28:50

Molly. Anyway, I think

28:52

I have been to that ice cream place last August

28:54

at the Walker cup. I think we beat that gelato

28:57

place up. It's delicious. What

29:00

else? Gosh, I'm, you

29:02

know, why are the spring

29:05

wine releases are out? My eyes are

29:07

darling. Great stuff there. I went to

29:09

a good, I actually went to a good restaurant in Atlanta

29:12

last week. I went to this

29:14

place, Lucien wine and, and,

29:16

and books. You would like it kind of

29:18

a cool restaurant. It's like in a bookshop.

29:23

Had dinner with our guy magic

29:25

Jeff or YSL correspondent. Sure. And

29:28

then I just, you know, kind of explored the city.

29:30

I haven't really, like my parents left.

29:32

So I was just alone by myself

29:35

in Atlanta. I'm like, Oh,

29:37

cool. Like, I really haven't had any time

29:39

to explore Atlanta in a few years. So

29:41

it just drove around,

29:43

visited a bunch of bougie ass coffee

29:45

shops and, and, you know, kind of

29:47

saw what was going on. So what

29:49

else I got dude, Haribo sour gummy

29:51

bears. Like, you know, everybody's,

29:53

everybody's familiar with their regular gummy bears,

29:55

but they're sour ones or like maybe

29:58

the best candy. ever created.

30:01

I've been bashing those. There

30:03

was a really good Bob...

30:05

There was an article on Bob Parsons in

30:08

the Daily Beast about his

30:11

four-day psychedelic trip. And

30:13

so that was I was not expecting

30:15

Bob Parsons to kind of get down

30:17

like that. It was really, really interesting.

30:20

And then lastly, big, I just

30:22

I found out that paprika

30:26

is just dried red peppers. And

30:29

that... I feel like we... Yeah. But

30:31

is there more to this story? I feel

30:33

like we broke this last chop session. Did

30:36

we? I think

30:39

it was just late break. Maybe that was just

30:41

internal. Yeah. Maybe that was just internal communication. I

30:43

think that was internal. And so I tweeted that.

30:45

I felt like my whole life's

30:47

been a lie. Just shattered my worldview. And

30:51

then I got some intel from a

30:53

guy, Tyler Christner, reached out on the

30:55

DMs. He's a Spice merchant and a trap-draw

30:58

listener. He said, they're

31:00

not just any red peppers or capiscum.

31:05

They're a certain type that's grown in a

31:07

certain kind of climate and everything. So

31:12

it's a true... We don't know. We may have a

31:14

mea culpa coming out of this, but we simply don't

31:16

know. Sure. Hey, one

31:18

thing, just life

31:20

question for you. Any

31:23

allergies? What's allergy season

31:25

like on the other side of

31:27

your nose procedure last year? Yeah.

31:29

This is the first major allergy season we've

31:31

been going through. I really don't struggle that

31:33

much here in Florida just because it seems

31:35

like it's always allergy season. But

31:38

I was curious when I went up to Atlanta and

31:41

then to Augusta of how

31:43

it was going to affect me because it

31:45

was just crazy pollen. My eyes were getting

31:48

scratchy and everything. Nose was just

31:50

fun. A couple of sneezes

31:52

here and there. And Randy,

31:55

I had people walk. I

31:57

probably had four or five people walk up to

31:59

me. on my trip, various

32:01

points, airports, at Augusta, TC. I

32:05

either got the nose surgery you got

32:08

or I've been to the ENT and

32:10

I'm gonna get the nose surgery. I'm influencing

32:13

people on the nose surgery.

32:15

So it's a big surgery, know what you're

32:18

getting into here folks, but changed

32:20

my life. And we should

32:22

say our guy, Mr. Pooch, he's

32:24

battling it right now out in

32:26

Southern California. Because of all those

32:28

exotic plants that the rich people.

32:30

The rich people are bringing into

32:32

Montecito. God, think of poor Mr.

32:35

Pooch folks. Randy,

32:37

one thing I will say too, people, when

32:39

I did the paprika thing,

32:43

people kept responding like, what did you think it

32:45

was? And my reply to that

32:47

is, I thought it was fucking paprika. Yeah,

32:51

like I thought that was the

32:53

spice. Exactly. Paprika, yeah. I

32:56

know. You

32:58

learned something new. Isn't that fun when you learn something

33:00

like that? Truly, truly. Let's

33:04

thank our second sponsor

33:06

33:08

big airport episode is coming. It's just,

34:56

as Tron said, it's so fluid right

34:58

now. We simply can't

35:00

pin down people and topics

35:03

and everything like that. But

35:05

what do we have from the last couple of

35:07

weeks? Where should we start? Let me ask you

35:10

this. You know, you took

35:12

an international trip with DJ and Solly

35:14

and some other guys. And anything, did

35:16

you open their eyes to anything? Yeah,

35:19

Dej. You

35:21

know, Dej went to the Polaris

35:23

Lounge with me in Chicago. Lori Lightfoot's Polaris

35:25

Lounge. I guess so here's like several

35:28

billion dollars over budget and

35:30

several years behind schedule already. They're

35:33

rebuilding that airport. Disaster. But

35:36

Dej and I flew to Frankfurt. I

35:38

got him on the flight of Germany

35:40

on the way to Scotland planned. Yeah,

35:42

sure. He loved it. He was

35:44

blown away by the Senator Lounge in Frankfurt. We were watching

35:46

the 747s. I

35:48

took like a three hour nap

35:50

in the nap room. He took

35:52

a shower, beers, pretzels.

35:56

It was awesome. That sounds wonderful. He sold.

36:00

Randy, I got my global entry, final

36:02

interview done. I'm approved. I'm

36:05

a global enter. Did you,

36:07

so you used that on your last, on your

36:09

return? No, no, no. I got back to

36:11

Newark and I had a little bit of a layover. Oh,

36:14

okay. So I was like, oh, you know what? I can

36:16

just rock up and do it right

36:18

here, right then and there. So did

36:20

it. It was easy. Actually, you know what?

36:23

I'll say it was really, really hard. Don't do it.

36:25

Because I don't want the lines to... We don't want,

36:27

yeah, we don't want the riffraff. Exactly. I

36:30

saw Neil's guy, Eric Adams, Mayor

36:33

Adams up in New York. He's

36:35

being investigated for getting

36:37

showered with upgrades on Turkish

36:39

Airlines. Sure. Or his

36:42

roundabout, just new levels of

36:45

corruption up there. Really interesting to see.

36:50

Randy, obviously a lot going on with Boeing

36:52

right now. We got the engine cover flew

36:54

off in Oregon and on the way into

36:56

Medford, emergency landing. Boeing

36:59

overrode to surveillance footage from

37:01

the repair facility that fixed

37:04

the plug or that thought they fixed the door plug.

37:06

It was reinstalled on the Alaska

37:08

plane. This is after the whistleblower

37:10

was found dead. I feel like

37:13

the whistleblower story has just gone

37:15

away, right? Totally. Yeah.

37:17

Nothing to see here, folks.

37:20

There was a headline in the New York Times. Boeing

37:24

faces tricky balance between

37:26

safety and financial performance.

37:30

This guy, Jason Karsh,

37:32

at JKarsh on X,

37:35

just tweeted, hi, yes, I have a question.

37:37

Thank you. What's

37:39

the actual fuck? Showed

37:42

that. That was great. The

37:45

CEO, David Calhoun, he's stepping down at

37:48

the end of the year. Finally, the

37:50

head of commercial planes resigned

37:53

immediately. They're

37:56

promoting internally with one of their to

37:59

their seat. Oh. You. Know

38:01

it exists. a disaster ready. I think

38:03

it's kind of America. Hours of a

38:06

lot of things gone our country all

38:08

once coalesced into one thing. the financial

38:10

the on of America be. You know

38:13

it's it's it's it's not good soldier

38:15

who are yeah yeah trusting the these

38:17

companies did the weekend. We simply cannot

38:19

trust them to be their own watch

38:22

dogs and monitors. And it's It's not

38:24

good to see you're exactly right and

38:26

we will We I was you say

38:29

we will continue to hold Boeing. Continue

38:31

to press their feet to the

38:33

fire. We will we will an

38:35

40:47

Terrible. It's logo with the

40:49

bottom line and only we we harp

40:51

on as a lot A just is

40:54

it's people abusing were. Service.

40:56

Animals are. And also

40:58

either use time to realize the step up

41:00

and make some tough decisions about just allowing

41:02

people to bring pets on the on on

41:04

the planes. I or if you do bring

41:07

a pat on the plane. Like

41:09

make. Sure it needs a say in

41:11

a carrier under the sea right right right

41:13

at the other thing. like I've seen other

41:15

on number of fight someone who on on

41:17

united were pure just not a service animal.

41:19

Them and the dogs. Out. And

41:22

about. Can't have it now.

41:24

Have it now. None. None of

41:26

functional society. It's just. It's

41:28

not good, It's not good. I honestly I think

41:30

these people are you said? I think it was

41:32

on twitter that like the these people. Say

41:36

it has to be a one strike and you're

41:38

out rule Legit. If your dog gets away from

41:40

you in suits and the aisle I'm so you

41:42

41:44

That's it. Do. Remember. Yeah.

41:46

A month. Ah, Yeah

41:49

so that's all I got on the on

41:51

the airlines. Side of things

41:53

right now for monitoring. Lot of people

41:55

were asking us to do a special.

41:58

Special. episode after the Baltimore

42:00

bridge collapse, the

42:02

Key Bridge. You

42:04

know, yeah, awful. Like, God, what a

42:07

terrible thing. I think I was reading

42:09

something the other day about kind of

42:11

the security vulnerabilities on these

42:14

big ass ships of

42:16

how, you know, how the systems they're

42:18

running on, they're steering and their propulsion

42:20

systems are all on these kind of

42:23

bootleg, you know, Linux, Windows

42:25

computer systems, computers. And actually,

42:27

did you see there was

42:29

something the other day where a,

42:32

like some dude just, some

42:34

kind of, you know, random

42:36

software engineer found

42:38

this back door in

42:41

Linux, and they could have

42:43

easily like shut down like

42:46

a lot of the world's computers. Like,

42:49

oh, yeah, oh, by the way, like

42:51

some fucking random engineer just like stumbled

42:53

upon this, you know, he was just

42:55

being vigilant and stumbled upon this and

42:58

he was a, you know, a good Samaritan

43:00

basically, crazy. Yeah,

43:02

the Baltimore Bridge, listen, there's not

43:04

much that TC and I are

43:06

gonna cover that the

43:08

national media isn't already out in front

43:10

of, but I think

43:12

you and I, we can visit certain topics

43:15

as they arise, but for right

43:17

now, just awful situation. Sorry,

43:20

everybody. I think we can get out

43:22

ahead of, can we just build a new bridge over

43:24

the Ohio River between

43:26

Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky? Cause like,

43:29

I could see us in a

43:31

future episode, like talking about

43:33

that thing just falling into the Ohio River.

43:36

Like it's, I know it's not good. Well,

43:38

and the sick part is like everybody realizes

43:40

it's not good. You know, like that's what's

43:42

crazy is we all see

43:44

the issues. We all understand the bridges

43:46

horribly out of date and

43:50

we just don't have the means to do anything about

43:52

it. I don't think it's very

43:54

sad. Crazy switching

43:57

gears, Randy. I don't know how

43:59

much you've been following. all in the whole Diddy situation.

44:02

Well, I was

44:06

most fascinated by his like, bag

44:08

man, the former Syracuse

44:11

basketball player, Brendan Paul, he was

44:13

like the drug mule for Diddy.

44:15

He was like a, you know,

44:17

kind of a deep bench player

44:19

at, he started at Syracuse and

44:21

then transferred, I think to D2

44:24

school maybe. Was he under

44:26

Bayheim or was he? Yeah. No,

44:29

it was Bayheim. Yeah, it was, it was several

44:31

years ago. Anyway,

44:34

what a wild story. Not

44:36

just that, the whole thing. So D,

44:38

so his place got, his

44:41

house got raided and then

44:43

he left the country and now he's back but

44:45

he's not under arrest or anything

44:47

like that? I

44:49

guess, if we're being honest,

44:51

I'm not exactly sure where we,

44:54

where we stand right now. Yeah, I

44:57

don't know TC. It sounds like maybe we

44:59

have to monitor a little closer. Okay.

45:02

Speaking of monitoring closer, we've

45:04

been all over this one.

45:07

Our guy, Lil Kimmy, he

45:09

got a new toy. You called

45:11

this, this was one of your best, this was one

45:13

of your best calls. I remember you saying like, God,

45:16

it just feels like Lil Kimmy is going to start

45:18

bucking here soon. Yeah, sure enough.

45:21

He's, he's, he, you know, he's testing

45:23

some missiles, but he

45:25

is operating the world's most powerful

45:27

tank during some live fire exercises

45:30

in response to South Korea, United

45:33

States doing their military drills. Lil

45:36

Kimmy's, you know, got this, got

45:38

this little, little tank that's, that's

45:41

packing a punch. So, uh,

45:43

I'm proud of him for staying relevant, Randy. Well,

45:46

and I would just encourage anybody, if you

45:48

have not seen the latest pictures of Lil

45:51

Kimmy, you know, driving his tank and

45:53

being a part of these exercises, it's

45:56

just the best. He is such a

45:58

treasure. He's all, he's all his kids. up

46:00

and it's wonderful.

46:04

Randy, have you seen the rampaging monkeys in

46:06

Thailand? No, I've just heard

46:09

about them a little bit. We got warring

46:11

gangs of monkeys. Is that what I'm picking

46:13

up? Yeah, rival monkey gangs

46:15

in the streets. They're taking over

46:17

tourist towns. They're

46:21

having to, cops are having to

46:23

bring slingshots and tranq guns out

46:25

there. This is

46:28

per the Daily Mail as well

46:30

as it's been picked up all over the place.

46:32

They've been climbing

46:34

over cars, stealing food, vandalizing

46:37

property. Just not

46:40

good. They're bad actors. They're

46:42

doing hood rat shit is what they're doing. They're

46:45

just little menaces. We'll continue to monitor

46:47

that. I don't think that's the last

46:49

we've seen of that story. In other

46:52

news around the world, cocoa prices

46:56

are exploding. The price of chocolate through

46:58

the roof, Randy, is up thousands

47:01

of percent. Don't like

47:04

that. I'm not a

47:06

chocolate guy. I've never had the super

47:08

chocolate sweet tooth. I

47:10

like milk chocolate. I can't get into the

47:12

dark chocolate. I

47:15

can do dark chocolate in very small

47:17

quantities or sometimes with a

47:19

nice red wine or something like that.

47:21

But not a big chocolate

47:23

guy, more of a sweet guy myself.

47:25

Yeah, I like chocolate as a compliment.

47:28

Throw some in a cookie,

47:31

chips and ice cream, whatever. Well,

47:34

chocolate chip, the New York Times had a

47:36

big thing about how chocolate chip is

47:38

disappearing as an ice cream flavor.

47:41

Oh, I did see that. Yeah.

47:43

Kind of a universal ice cream

47:45

flavor. Now it's just plummeting

47:48

in popularity. Yeah,

47:52

we're getting a little cute with the ice cream flavors. Oh,

47:54

I think we were ahead of that, if

47:57

anything. kind

48:00

of ushering that fat in and I'm not here for

48:02

it. Penny, Solly, I think

48:05

people need to, like you're either into the

48:07

fufu ice cream or you're not. Right.

48:10

You know, you're a class. And don't cross over, right? Yeah.

48:13

Yeah. Princess

48:15

Kate, we're not sure if she

48:18

has cancer or not.

48:21

They're saying she does after they've initially

48:23

denied that she did. This

48:26

is while the king has cancer.

48:29

He's on the potions and all

48:31

of that. I was talking to people over in

48:33

the UK about it. I was

48:35

over there. They were, you know, nobody knows

48:37

what to think, Randy. Well,

48:40

our friend Patty, we love Patty. You

48:43

know, he accused me of being very

48:45

nasty to Princess Kate. I simply didn't

48:47

know how I've been nasty. Certainly

48:50

I don't wish her ill will. It's

48:52

terrible that she has cancer, but yeah, it's just,

48:54

I don't know what to, if

48:56

literally the king is doing cancer treatment

48:59

one way, like seems

49:01

a little weird to do cancer treatment a different

49:03

way if you're in the royal

49:05

household. I don't know. That's just a

49:07

very awkward dynamic I have to think. I

49:09

don't know if we can be accused of being nasty if

49:14

they're being nasty towards the truth. Right,

49:17

Randy? Yeah. And we're like, I

49:19

will say, let's just call them like we

49:21

see them, the royal family through the years,

49:24

a little bit of a nasty family. So

49:26

I'm, you know, we'll leave

49:28

it at that TC. How's your uncle,

49:31

just speaking of people going through cancer

49:33

and any, sir, any

49:37

updates from your uncle juice? No, I actually

49:39

tweeted them earlier today. I was, I just checked in with him

49:41

every once in a while. I hadn't heard from him in a

49:43

while. He hasn't, he hasn't tweeted in almost two months, Randy.

49:47

So that doesn't seem great, but. Oh,

49:49

I know, I know. I'm worried. You

49:51

know, hopefully his mind's just, he's got

49:53

more important stuff to do. Maybe

49:56

it's as simple as that. Yeah. Really

50:02

got to go blow This is

50:04

taken. Ah kids

50:07

that is over the researchers

50:09

Friends here for see a

50:11

see. Those are the most

50:13

important stories he saw. He

50:15

said over there they are.

50:19

They're They're a Peruvian professional

50:21

soccer player. Or football or

50:23

fuel. Ah made Osama Bin

50:26

Laden with. An

50:30

Ice twenty one years old. Just or

50:32

do you know, born after after Nine

50:34

Eleven. He was born in October two

50:36

thousand and two. Just the kind of

50:39

put his own perspective. Ah, his Wikipedia

50:41

says Bin Laden is named after Osama

50:43

Bin Laden. The difference installing is due

50:45

to the letters be in V being

50:48

pronounce the same and Spanish. So

50:52

for other making Saddam

50:54

Hussein had to physically

50:57

his father plan financing.

50:59

His third child after George Bush

51:01

couldn't have turned out to be

51:03

an email villain. Set of is

51:05

unusual name there is a person

51:07

got Hitler also in Peru. see

51:09

this Save the World and there

51:11

are Jesus who do harm or

51:14

has uses. I wanna push through

51:16

the the pronunciation their disease latin

51:18

ah because there isn't a summer

51:20

who killed people. I don't think

51:22

there has to be a lot

51:24

about the name is draws a

51:26

lot of attention from what I

51:28

say. For sure and

51:30

let me just say Osama your

51:32

your father is. If he happens

51:34

to be listening we would love

51:36

to have him on said to

51:38

just talk about his mindset and

51:41

why he wanted a name is

51:43

Kids after Osama, Bin Laden and

51:45

Saddam Hussein and George Bush just

51:47

fascinating fascinates me like he could

51:49

it mean the the the A

51:51

daughter Georgette Bush. Or

51:53

George Bush right? Georgia? Yeah,

51:55

I am filigreed with. A

51:58

He didn't have to give up soon. Usually just you. There

52:00

was a girl. N

52:02

N. who really likes the first person out?

52:05

Why didn't he gave thought about like Rami

52:07

dealing Dick Cheney was in a conversation like

52:09

i I are you I need to know

52:11

what names were left on the on the

52:13

drawing room floor. Ah

52:16

Mau Mark Darcy. Thing

52:19

that nature. Khalid Shaikh

52:22

Mohammed. Yeah, exactly. Ah.

52:25

Remember Switch Gears Yes this is

52:27

home to close to you. Out

52:29

and Colorado sir are Collins. Ah,

52:31

or the Safeway employee. Who.

52:34

I guess he got caught. Red.

52:37

Handed are some some sort of

52:39

hand is ah after allegedly a

52:41

Jackie leaning all over fresh. For

52:45

the per month span, he

52:47

was arrested and charged with

52:49

fourteen counts of indecent exposure

52:51

to counts of attempted indecent

52:53

exposure, four counts. Of.

52:56

Attempted unlawful sexual conduct and sixteen

52:58

counts of attempted sexual assault on

53:00

child. Ah they began investigating this

53:03

guy. He was at Safeway employee

53:05

after reports eat exposed himself outside

53:07

of a coffee shop. When.

53:09

They start off your video evidence

53:11

of of him mob. You. Know.

53:14

It's. Yeah, creating on on all sorts

53:16

of fresh produce at the Safeway, down

53:18

and in Fort Collins. What?

53:21

Do you have to say. That's

53:24

tough loop and he was doing all

53:26

this in the span like two and

53:28

a half months he he only worked

53:30

at the Safeway from December twenty three.

53:32

The February of this year on the

53:35

man was busy. I'm glad they caught

53:37

him. I'll start their T C it's

53:39

you know it is a little different

53:41

as I was just that a safe

53:43

way. I see a really nice safe

53:46

with a nice a Safeway have been

53:48

to buy My new house says the

53:50

the one on six than Corona. Anybody

53:52

in the Denver area that's a very nice

53:55

Safeway? Yeah. You know, like a you know

53:57

it's it's it's gonna wear your worst fears with. Groceries.

54:00

stores with restaurants. It just,

54:03

you know, it always just plants that seed of

54:05

doubt. If, if you'll pardon the pun, plants the

54:07

seed of doubt in the back of your mind.

54:10

I don't know. I don't know what else to say about

54:12

it. TC. It's not good. I

54:14

mean, wash your produce people. And

54:17

I don't that's, that's the thing that doubly

54:19

hits home. I never wash my produce. You

54:22

know, I, I come what may, I feel

54:25

like having a little dirt and whatnot. It

54:28

helps your immune system.

54:31

Yeah. Get another pun. God,

54:35

I will be washing my produce now from now

54:37

on. Oh

54:39

man. Especially in a new neighborhood. Like you don't, you

54:41

don't know what's going on at that new Safeway. You

54:43

need to get to know the idea of people there,

54:45

you know, and vet it out. Yeah.

54:47

That's bad. Randy

54:50

Arugula is back in Jax. Wow.

54:53

Arugula. I know it was a lean,

54:56

lean couple months there. Was it a

54:58

sweepstakes? Yeah. Well, they were

55:00

trying to mix it in with spinach.

55:03

So every time they were, you know, basically I think

55:05

they had a limited supply. So it was like, Oh,

55:07

like there's this arugula spinach mix. It's like,

55:09

no, I just want arugula. I don't

55:11

want spinach. So now it's, it's

55:14

back in a big way. You know,

55:16

I guess it was just, it was an unusually wet

55:19

winter in certain places where they grow

55:21

it. So I've been talking to talking to

55:23

several farmers and

55:25

how's your supply chain distributors. Cause I

55:27

know we were trying to keep that

55:29

supply chain tight and only sourcing the

55:31

best material this year. Yeah. Now that

55:33

I'm back home after a lot of

55:36

travel, I'm hoping, hoping April, you know,

55:38

I can, I can kind of open

55:40

up some supply chain, get to some

55:42

of the local butchers, fish

55:44

mongers, things of that nature farmers

55:46

market. So we'll see. I'll

55:48

keep you posted on that front. One

55:51

place I'm not going Randy. I'm not going to Trader Joe's.

55:54

This one, it's close to home. TC. The

55:56

girlfriend is a massive trader Joe's fan. And

55:58

I actually just shared that. this article with

56:00

her. I'm not sure if she's taken the time

56:03

to read it yet or not, but very concerned

56:05

in my household as well. Yeah,

56:08

this is in

56:10

Taste Cooking. This

56:13

was actually sent to me by Magic Jeff, our YSL

56:17

correspondent. Behind the bubbly cashiers

56:19

and Hawaiian shirts, craveable snacks,

56:21

and bargain basement prices are

56:23

questionable business practices that have

56:25

many food brands crying foul

56:27

at the company's blatant and

56:29

aggressive copycat culture.

56:32

This was by Adam Reiner

56:34

on April 1st. We're going to

56:38

monitor this, Randy. I want to

56:40

get your girlfriend's reaction to this.

56:43

I tell you what. We have another CHOP

56:45

session in two weeks. I will

56:47

have a full report for that episode.

56:50

Thank you. Thank you. Speaking

56:53

of YSL, we're hearing the trial could take

56:55

up to three years, which

56:59

is a tough point. What

57:01

a great use of funds. And

57:05

then there was a witness on

57:07

the stand. He almost fell asleep, Randy,

57:10

because he was so high. Are

57:12

you, buddy? Yeah.

57:16

Listen, I

57:19

applaud his honesty. He

57:21

admitted to being high, and he told the court,

57:24

I'm about to fall asleep on y'all, man. This

57:27

was a state's witness, too. Unless

57:29

anybody think, if you remind

57:32

him immediately, it goes to this as a defense witness.

57:35

It was not. This was a state

57:37

witness. I

57:40

feel like someday we're going to have to have just

57:42

a whole... Maybe it's 10 years from now.

57:48

Whenever this YSL case wraps up, it's

57:50

almost like they're just a perfect club

57:52

on just everything it was. Like

57:55

everything the trial, the case was, or everything

57:57

YSL was, or all of the above? everything.

58:03

We need a definitive podcast history

58:06

on, I guess YSL, but mainly the YSL

58:08

trial. Yeah. I'm happy to sign up for

58:10

that. We could get Spencer Hall on, we

58:13

could get Maddie Jeff on, all sorts of

58:15

people. So we get my mom on, she's

58:18

been tracking it. She tracks it closer

58:20

than anybody. So hey, congrats.

58:23

I saw the DJ sent this over.

58:25

The Medieval Times are

58:29

unionizing or they're trying to unionizing.

58:32

It's a headline.

58:34

It's great. This is in the

58:36

Huffington Post by Dave Jamison. The

58:38

sub headline is, despite organizing two

58:41

castles, the union couldn't maintain enough

58:43

support to win its contract battles

58:45

with the dinner theater chain. So

58:49

we're pro union. Good on them.

58:51

Good on them. All

58:54

sorts of lords jokes.

58:56

Exactly. A lot of jokes

58:59

to be made there. As jousters, that's

59:01

a dangerous job. I think they need

59:03

to be part of a union. They need some

59:05

protections in the workplace. You

59:07

were staring at

59:10

a very tough decision TC. I know the

59:12

Gustav injury has put the 24 hours in

59:14

a Waffle House on

59:17

delay, but I am reading Waffle House. I'm going

59:19

to do the Waffle House. I was really bummed

59:21

because people were signing up to

59:23

come and fill time slots with

59:26

me and hang out in

59:28

Augusta. I'm bummed that I can't do it. But

59:31

yeah, the Waffle House workers were

59:33

striking in Atlanta. That's

59:35

right. For good reason, Randy,

59:37

they were being forced. Their

59:40

wages were being garnished for

59:45

meals. Meal charges being

59:47

withheld from their wages.

59:49

Whether or not they cooked a meal and

59:53

just can't have that, Randy. And I think they're

59:55

on the front lines of some

59:58

crazy shit that happens Dot.

1:00:01

Oh. My God. Yes, Yes. Oh

1:00:03

yeah, I didn't want allows worded

1:00:05

if you're talking about first responders,

1:00:08

an emergency employees lava thousand and

1:00:10

close, even during hurricane natural disasters.

1:00:12

Whatever. The. You know

1:00:14

they need strong labor protections. And.

1:00:18

Less people think that as a bit the

1:00:20

is our there's so much truth in that

1:00:23

same it won't. Waffle House is over. have

1:00:25

a very important part of of a lot

1:00:27

of communities. I'm totally with you. We need

1:00:29

to take care of the people. Who.

1:00:32

Work and make the wall. Miles is what

1:00:34

they are. A man in a big. Ah,

1:00:38

Gosh, What are the guy I got?

1:00:40

I dug through all sorts of shit

1:00:42

here that are There was a we

1:00:44

used an alligator wrote a through some

1:00:46

headline here I i feel I read

1:00:48

my be headline yeah ah there that

1:00:50

there's a headline there's some Buffalo New

1:00:52

York he like family to everybody a

1:00:54

community rallied around Hamburg man after alligator

1:00:56

was seized from his home I guess

1:00:58

is do have an alligator that says.

1:01:01

He. Got you got it, Alligator. Nineteen Ninety

1:01:03

in a reptile Show. Music Theory. Sure,

1:01:06

Basically it's like his son. Got

1:01:08

it's like eleven feet long as

1:01:10

eight hundred pounds. And.

1:01:13

People, people all over the neighborhood or like

1:01:15

they said they'd be loaded albert on the

1:01:17

back of a cargo fan and just drove

1:01:19

more way. it is just laid there. And.

1:01:22

They're pissed they said he did.

1:01:24

This guy should be grandfathered in

1:01:26

Alberta is his family to him

1:01:28

and in so who do you

1:01:30

do that was pretty stand with.

1:01:33

If you never gotten what are

1:01:35

your neighbors might have a pet

1:01:37

alligator down there in Florida? who

1:01:39

now it would people? Yeah, are

1:01:41

neither had Cobra reside condors other

1:01:43

ah isn't it Kind of seems

1:01:45

to me like this guy was

1:01:47

initially trying to hide video an

1:01:49

alligator like he's. right? Walking

1:01:51

around the neighborhood. In.

1:01:54

Other thing was pretty pretty docile and

1:01:56

everything so. it always

1:01:58

feels like selective enforcement law, right, of hey

1:02:00

they let this guy get away with it

1:02:02

for close to 30, 40 years, right? So,

1:02:05

so why not, you know, it

1:02:07

seems like kind of the statute of

1:02:10

limitations or, or, you know, I

1:02:12

don't know, with Randy, with the way things are

1:02:14

going in this country, you know, maybe the alligator

1:02:16

identifies as a human being, right? I'm

1:02:20

not touching that, but I will

1:02:22

say this alligator, TC, is, if

1:02:25

my math is correct, and he got him

1:02:27

in 1990, it means this alligator is nearly

1:02:29

35 years old. I

1:02:31

have no idea what the scale

1:02:34

of alligator aging is compared to

1:02:36

like, are all, do

1:02:38

all alligators get this old?

1:02:41

I got to think Albert is

1:02:43

not very spry. He's got to

1:02:46

be especially docile. Like let's, let's

1:02:48

maybe let Albert live out his time with,

1:02:50

with our guy here. And then, you know,

1:02:52

that's it. We don't need any more pet

1:02:54

alligators. I'm saying, I'm seeing that alligators

1:02:57

can live up to 40 to 60 years

1:02:59

in the wild and even longer

1:03:01

in captivity. So Jesus. So

1:03:03

really they could be ripping away some of the best years

1:03:05

of Albert's life here. Right? Yeah.

1:03:08

Yeah. So I think bottom line, there's

1:03:11

a quote in this article talking about

1:03:13

the owner. He said, quote,

1:03:15

he's not having alligator get

1:03:17

togethers or parties. He's

1:03:19

just a really nice guy and loves that

1:03:21

alligator and treats it well. So

1:03:23

listen, I think, I think I

1:03:25

might sign the petition. Yeah.

1:03:28

Bring Albert back. Do you

1:03:30

see the woman that pretended to be the

1:03:32

daughter of a wealthy shut-in? Yes.

1:03:36

Out in San Francisco? Yeah. This

1:03:38

one was pretty, pretty dark.

1:03:42

Discarding a body or something? Yeah.

1:03:44

She, I guess she chopped them into pieces

1:03:46

and dumped his body in the, in the

1:03:49

San Francisco Bay. That was

1:03:51

tough. Yeah. Whole, whole thing in SF

1:03:53

gate about this. Um,

1:03:55

yeah, I don't know. It's

1:03:58

now. Listen, I'm not, you know. We're not

1:04:00

here to judge people and certainly not the

1:04:02

dead, but it was reading that article.

1:04:04

It seemed like a couple of weird people that had

1:04:06

found each other. And unfortunately, now one of them is

1:04:09

dead. Yeah.

1:04:12

I know that sounds crap. I don't mean

1:04:14

it to sound crass, Cece, but sometimes it's

1:04:16

like, man, people are just really freaking weird.

1:04:18

Truly. Truly. And I guess we did just

1:04:20

talk about the alligator guy. Yeah,

1:04:23

but that feels like it's on the other end of

1:04:25

the spectrum. That guy is empathetic and caring and, you

1:04:28

know, if it's an after-end. It is weird, right?

1:04:30

It is weird. We're all

1:04:32

weird, Randy. I know we

1:04:35

all are weird. Because I have a dog, you know?

1:04:37

No, no, no. I

1:04:39

will say, Cece, something we want to monitor.

1:04:42

We might be signing up for a dog

1:04:45

fostering list later this year. Things

1:04:48

are moving. Really? Yeah, things

1:04:50

are percolating. I'm not sure how I feel

1:04:52

about this. What is this? All right, so

1:04:54

you would be fostering dogs just regularly?

1:04:56

Like you would kind of... I don't know.

1:04:59

Two or three weeks and the dog gets adopted and you bring

1:05:01

on another one or? Yeah, I don't know. I

1:05:03

don't really know much about it. I

1:05:08

think the length of stays, the length of

1:05:11

fostering can vary. I don't

1:05:13

know. I need to find out more information because

1:05:15

I don't know what I'm signing up for. I

1:05:17

think you should find out more information. Yeah.

1:05:20

Because, God, I can only... Like, I'm

1:05:22

just envisioning you guys getting saddled with

1:05:24

like a really bad dog that barks

1:05:26

all the time and you're on podcasts

1:05:29

and you're freaking out because this dog

1:05:31

is... And

1:05:33

you can't get... And you're waiting for somebody to adopt

1:05:35

it. Yeah, that's not

1:05:37

good. That's not good. So I've

1:05:42

been following the DNA testing and the

1:05:44

Lindbergh kidnapping. That happened

1:05:46

a long time ago, but

1:05:48

they're retesting some things. That

1:05:50

one's never quite added up to me.

1:05:52

I'm a big, big Lindbergh kidnapping guy.

1:05:55

A lot of different hypotheses there. What

1:05:58

else? We got the... We

1:06:00

got the FBI investigating some of

1:06:02

Napa's most premier wineries. Seems like

1:06:04

some sheet of buildings going on

1:06:06

there with some city council or

1:06:09

land zoning stuff and all sorts

1:06:11

of accusations flying around

1:06:13

out there. This

1:06:15

one kind of tickled me, Randy. The national

1:06:18

parks are getting into a

1:06:20

little bit of controversy with certain

1:06:23

ranger stations are going

1:06:25

cashless. People are trying to

1:06:27

go off the grid. Some of the most

1:06:31

granola among us, which who

1:06:33

I respect, I think that's cool. They're like, hey,

1:06:35

how are we supposed to pay here? I

1:06:39

kind of agree. I think I stand with

1:06:41

them. I think I do too. Yeah.

1:06:44

I think you've got to keep an

1:06:46

option open to take physical currency. I

1:06:50

would call on most businesses to do that.

1:06:52

I think

1:06:55

it's exclusionary and

1:06:58

it's not good. Cash.

1:07:01

Cash doesn't have to be king,

1:07:03

but it should remain part of the royal family.

1:07:05

You know, a lot of our ballparks are

1:07:07

going cashless. A

1:07:10

lot of our ballparks are even going

1:07:12

to where you can just... I went

1:07:14

through a Jags game with

1:07:18

Alex and she's got

1:07:20

the Amazon Prime thing

1:07:22

and we literally just went to

1:07:25

the cooler at the Jags

1:07:27

game and we just walked out with the

1:07:30

stuff that we bought and it automatically charged

1:07:32

us. It's crazy. Crazy,

1:07:34

Randy. Now listen,

1:07:36

I appreciate... I was

1:07:38

going to say, I appreciate having cashless options

1:07:41

and a few options like that,

1:07:43

but I do think you got to keep

1:07:45

an avenue open for people that might not

1:07:47

have a smartphone because I respect people that

1:07:49

don't want a smartphone. I'm envious of them.

1:07:52

Oh yeah. I was thinking about that

1:07:54

when I was at Augusta on Saturday.

1:07:56

It's like, oh my gosh, this is

1:07:58

awesome. I'm like, oh yeah,

1:08:01

I could choose not to have a phone on me

1:08:03

whenever I want, but exactly. I'm forced

1:08:05

to do it. Man, this is really

1:08:07

great. I think

1:08:11

we stand with the people wanting

1:08:13

to... I think, yeah. I'm just thinking

1:08:15

about it from a workflow or process

1:08:17

perspective where I can

1:08:19

see it if an airline doesn't want to accept

1:08:21

cash on a plane, where

1:08:24

flight attendants don't like... Sure.

1:08:27

...flight attendants don't want to have to do a... It's

1:08:31

like an extra step just for the one or two

1:08:33

people that want to... I guess you could say the

1:08:36

same thing about park rangers or whatever, but I don't

1:08:38

know. When I think of national parks, I think of cash

1:08:41

and even those little parking

1:08:43

boxes. You know, that you go...

1:08:45

Right, the little honesty box. Yeah. Yeah.

1:08:49

I know. I know. I

1:08:51

will say, I am for getting rid

1:08:53

of loose change. Let's just

1:08:55

make all pricing to the nearest dollar.

1:08:58

Yes. I would listen... I would

1:09:00

have that conversation, but I do feel like you need

1:09:02

to... In most circumstances,

1:09:05

we should have cash options

1:09:07

still. You know,

1:09:10

it sounds like, this is just a

1:09:12

little segue here, but speaking

1:09:14

of cash options and auditing and all

1:09:16

that stuff, your

1:09:19

hitters are adjacent hitters

1:09:21

at PWC. Only

1:09:24

the most commonly used auditors are

1:09:27

for Chinese developers, and

1:09:29

they're being probed by the government

1:09:31

of China, Chinese authorities around

1:09:34

the Evergrande fiasco over there,

1:09:36

the collapse of that

1:09:38

Chinese developer. A $78 billion fraud.

1:09:43

A tale as old as time, Pc. We

1:09:46

got these auditing companies

1:09:48

that they get a little too

1:09:51

close and comfy with their clients and they

1:09:54

miss the signs either inadvertently

1:09:57

or perhaps they want to miss

1:09:59

the signs of of these massive frauds.

1:10:01

It's not good. It's not good.

1:10:04

Yeah. We

1:10:06

got to have better people in

1:10:09

auditing positions. I've always said that. That's

1:10:11

also why I left. I realized I

1:10:13

wasn't part of the solution. I needed

1:10:15

to get out. Yeah. Think of you.

1:10:18

Listen, we got

1:10:20

to attack this one. There's

1:10:22

a convicted sex offender who used

1:10:25

to work for the Jags. They were not aware

1:10:27

that he was a convicted sex offender. He

1:10:32

hacked the Jumbotron at the Jags stadium. He got

1:10:34

220 years in, he was sentenced

1:10:38

to 220 years for all sorts of kiddie

1:10:41

porn stuff. Not good at all, but very, very

1:10:47

unfortunate that the Jags had hired this guy as a

1:10:49

contractor in 2013 to consult on the design and the

1:10:53

installation of their new video board network and

1:10:55

later to operate the Jumbotron on game days. They

1:10:59

chose not to renew his contract in

1:11:01

2018 after learning of his conviction status

1:11:03

as a sex offender. And

1:11:05

then after his tenure

1:11:07

with the Jags was up, he

1:11:09

remotely accessed computers via a spare

1:11:12

server that he installed in

1:11:14

the Jags server room during three

1:11:17

2018 games, causing the video boards

1:11:19

to malfunction repeatedly. The

1:11:22

FBI traced the network information

1:11:24

back to his home. Which

1:11:27

is really unfortunate because the Jags, they

1:11:30

have massive Jumbotrons. They do. Some of

1:11:32

the best Jumbotrons we've seen, Randy. I

1:11:35

would say, do you see that Jags might need

1:11:38

to really work on getting their house in order.

1:11:40

They just say the guy that

1:11:43

had stolen all the money from them, they got

1:11:45

this going on. We might need

1:11:48

to really concentrate on getting that house in

1:11:50

order. Yeah, Randy, the guy that stole all

1:11:52

the money from him was a fellow member

1:11:54

of the Pontevegerian Club. He

1:11:56

played in our Friday games

1:11:58

before. So,

1:12:01

you know, and then, and then, yeah, obviously

1:12:03

Trent Bulge is still, still employed as well.

1:12:07

Uh, yeah, bad, bad, bad news. And

1:12:09

I think they're, they're whiffing

1:12:12

on just Trevor's

1:12:14

entire controllable, cheap, you

1:12:17

know, contract here. So,

1:12:19

uh, we had, there was a, there was a big cheating

1:12:22

scandal in DC trivia. Yeah, this

1:12:24

is good. This is right up my alley.

1:12:26

I used to play a lot of trivia.

1:12:29

Yeah. Uh, well, it

1:12:31

was, um, Jacob Rube,

1:12:33

bashkin at Jacob Rube, bashkin

1:12:36

on, on X tweeted out,

1:12:39

desperately need a DC beat

1:12:41

reporter to dig into the

1:12:43

trivia cheating scandal currently rocking

1:12:45

red bear brewing, where

1:12:47

it was heavily implied that reigning champions

1:12:50

in parentheses who have won four

1:12:52

straight weeks were caught cheating, including

1:12:55

by using a Shazam enabled Apple

1:12:57

watch. Oh boy.

1:12:59

TC, this is a

1:13:01

juicy one. Uh, the, the, the trivia circuit,

1:13:03

I don't know what it's like in DC.

1:13:06

It's, it's pretty strong in Denver. You know,

1:13:08

it's, it's a wonderful thing to do on

1:13:10

a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday gives

1:13:13

you something to do early midweek.

1:13:15

And yeah, you know, having people knowing that

1:13:18

there are people out there willing to cheat

1:13:20

at brewery trivia, where usually first

1:13:22

place gets you like a $50 gift

1:13:25

card to the brewery. It just is like, what do we, I

1:13:28

don't know, TC. I don't know. I

1:13:30

don't know what we're supposed to do as a society,

1:13:32

you know, like how am I supposed to trust anything?

1:13:35

It's bad. It's bad, big. I, uh, not

1:13:37

good. I, these people should be shamed.

1:13:39

If they are caught cheating, they should

1:13:41

be shamed. I would like to see

1:13:43

names and pictures. And I think that

1:13:45

should be public information. Exactly.

1:13:47

So we can keep them from showing up

1:13:49

at other trivia places. Exactly. Exactly.

1:13:53

What's your, uh, what would be, what

1:13:55

would people be fascinated to learn that

1:13:58

they wouldn't expect? Are you a. like

1:14:00

a trivia specialist in certain

1:14:03

areas or subject matter that would

1:14:05

be surprising. No, I

1:14:07

don't know if there'd be anything shocking. I'm

1:14:11

a pretty good guesser. I always feel like

1:14:14

if it's multiple choice or you

1:14:16

know, you're, I feel

1:14:18

like I do a decent job, maybe you're arriving at

1:14:20

a good guess. Every now

1:14:22

and again, I'll get a random, usually

1:14:25

because it's like, it's something that we've talked about

1:14:27

on the trap draw, they'll ask a question about

1:14:29

a really random wild story and I'll be like,

1:14:31

oh yeah, that was actually, you know, this

1:14:33

happened there and the people will be like, how do you know

1:14:36

that? I mean, actually we talked about it on a podcast. Great

1:14:38

Lakes of Africa. Yeah, yeah.

1:14:42

Every now and again, maybe like an author,

1:14:44

a book or something, but I, I

1:14:46

tell you where I suck and I can see

1:14:48

where the Shazam enabled Apple Watch comes in. So

1:14:51

a lot of the trivia, they have like a

1:14:53

music round, a lot of music

1:14:55

stuff. And part of it is like, hey, listen to

1:14:57

a little snippet, a song and you got to tell

1:14:59

us the artist and the title or whatever. I'm

1:15:02

awful at music stuff. So I'm very

1:15:05

bad at that. I'm very bad

1:15:07

at like TV and movie, pop

1:15:09

culture. Yeah, I was

1:15:12

gonna say pop culture, movies, TV,

1:15:14

music. I'm bad at,

1:15:16

I'm good. I'm like history geography. History

1:15:19

geography, sport. Yeah, usually I can

1:15:21

get in the ballpark. Yeah.

1:15:24

So I haven't done trivia in a while.

1:15:27

I'm good at like, like, US

1:15:29

geography. Like there'll be fun questions

1:15:31

about like this state borders or

1:15:33

like Kentucky, I don't

1:15:36

know, like name the six States Tennessee borders,

1:15:38

you know, and I'll be like, oh, you

1:15:40

know, I can do that. But

1:15:43

yeah, you don't have any

1:15:45

like golf or sports only yeah,

1:15:49

categories, which is a bummer. There

1:15:52

was a huge cash heist in LA. I thought that

1:15:54

was interesting, but it's not necessarily the

1:15:56

most interesting to talk about. I

1:15:59

did see a hundred thousand. 5,000 live

1:16:01

salmon spilled off of a truck in

1:16:03

Northeast Oregon. But you know, check it

1:16:05

out. The truck was right next, it was

1:16:07

like on a bridge or right next to a big creek.

1:16:09

Yeah. So they just, they all like humbled

1:16:11

down in this creek and lived and swam

1:16:14

off and kept swimming up river. Sick.

1:16:17

That's awesome. That's legitimately awesome.

1:16:19

Good for the salmon. Yeah.

1:16:22

And hopefully, you know, hopefully they weren't like

1:16:24

diseased salmon from some, you

1:16:27

know, like kind of industrial fishery. But

1:16:29

I think it was one of those things

1:16:31

where they're trucking them to get around some

1:16:33

of the hydroelectric stuff. Yeah. Helping

1:16:36

them make the journey. Some lucky

1:16:38

bears, I would have to think in

1:16:40

Northeast Oregon too. Yeah.

1:16:45

Jackpot. And then

1:16:47

last thing I had was this guy

1:16:50

that checked into, this is in the

1:16:52

New York Times. He checked into the New

1:16:54

Yorker Hotel in Manhattan

1:16:56

in 2018. This guy,

1:17:00

Mickey Barreto, and he was

1:17:03

assigned room 2565. He had a view of

1:17:05

Midtown Manhattan, but

1:17:09

it was kind of obscured by an exterior wall and he paid

1:17:11

$200 and 57 cents. And he did not check

1:17:16

out the next morning. Instead,

1:17:18

he made the once grand hotel as full-time

1:17:20

residence for the next five years

1:17:22

without ever paying another cent. And

1:17:25

it's just this whole piece about how like

1:17:28

all this rigmarole with eviction

1:17:32

laws and hotel

1:17:34

laws and city

1:17:37

record keeping and notary

1:17:41

public stuff. It's fascinating because I

1:17:43

used to deal with this a

1:17:45

little bit like when somebody wouldn't

1:17:48

check out. It's really hard to

1:17:50

evict somebody from a hotel room. It's

1:17:53

not like the Tenants Bill of Rights, but it's like the innkeeper's

1:17:56

law and all that stuff. But

1:18:01

this guy found all these loopholes and he

1:18:03

just kept exploiting them. It was wild. So,

1:18:06

yeah. Anyway.

1:18:10

Where do you stand on that? Should

1:18:12

it be easier for like a hotel just to come

1:18:14

in and throw the guy

1:18:16

out and throw stuff out after him? That's

1:18:20

a tough one for me. I mean, I

1:18:22

feel like he's not paying. Yeah. Right.

1:18:25

Yeah. Yeah. Well,

1:18:27

you hear about like these Airbnb guests too. Yeah, I

1:18:29

was just in the one in LA. California.

1:18:32

Yeah. All the sick.

1:18:34

Well, people like rent an Airbnb and just

1:18:36

never leave. Yeah. I

1:18:38

don't know. I think people, I think,

1:18:40

yeah, it's such a weird point with society

1:18:44

where like there needs to

1:18:46

be probably more regulations on

1:18:48

big business and things. But

1:18:50

then also like it feels like with small business or

1:18:52

with, you know, kind of individually

1:18:54

held places, it doesn't feel like there's

1:18:56

enough support system or the like. System

1:18:59

or the law gives too many. There's

1:19:02

just a lack of common sense as well.

1:19:04

So I know it's hard to like create a

1:19:07

set of regulations that cover a

1:19:10

multi multi-billion dollar international hotel chain

1:19:12

and then like an

1:19:15

Airbnb or like a

1:19:17

little bed and breakfast somewhere. And

1:19:19

maybe I don't know. I'm speaking out of my

1:19:21

ass here. But yeah, it's like such disparity, especially

1:19:24

in the in the hotel

1:19:26

game. I don't

1:19:28

know how you cover everybody with with

1:19:30

like one set of rules and regulations. Yeah.

1:19:32

And granted, I think this place. Yeah. Yeah.

1:19:37

It was part of the Windham network and all

1:19:39

of that. But yes, it's not like we're

1:19:41

just dealing with, you know, this small

1:19:43

mom and pop hotel. Like, this is a hotel

1:19:46

in Manhattan. But

1:19:48

anyway, I would encourage people to. Is

1:19:51

Florida. Have I seen some

1:19:53

political ads or whatnot on Florida? In Florida, making

1:19:56

a big deal about they're going to toss you

1:19:58

out. Squattin

1:20:00

some state. I feel like I just saw they're

1:20:03

they're like, you know, we're we're tossing your ass

1:20:05

out if we find you somewhere No,

1:20:07

yeah, I don't know. I haven't seen that Then

1:20:11

again, I haven't spent that much time in Florida

1:20:13

the first quarter of the year here What

1:20:18

else we like let's see any any early

1:20:20

thoughts we're not gonna do ball knowing until

1:20:22

after the draft so Anything

1:20:24

you want to get ahead we can talk about some of this in a

1:20:26

couple weeks on the chop but anything you want to get ahead of as

1:20:28

far as Bengals free agency

1:20:30

or JJ McCarthy or you know

1:20:33

the Yeah,

1:20:36

I'm out on JJ I'm seeing him as

1:20:38

high as like the third or fourth pick

1:20:40

I Simply cannot believe it.

1:20:43

I don't really love any

1:20:45

quarterback We're big pennicks

1:20:47

guys I'm not sure if I love them enough

1:20:49

to like make them a top 10 draft pick

1:20:51

But I absolutely would take a flyer on him

1:20:54

day to round two Yeah,

1:20:57

I don't have a ton of thoughts TC

1:20:59

a big draft. I think for for both

1:21:01

our ball clubs We'll see how it shakes

1:21:03

out and and we'll have some

1:21:07

expanded thoughts Saw

1:21:11

some rat Rache

1:21:13

rice with

1:21:15

the idea Trouble. I

1:21:17

don't really really unfortunate

1:21:19

there Like kind

1:21:21

of shocking stuff to see to

1:21:23

see the Chiefs getting into trouble,

1:21:26

you know It's so unlike them if

1:21:29

you rented a Lamborghini SUV

1:21:31

or truck and Crashed

1:21:34

it. Yeah, there's some stuff about who you

1:21:36

know who was actually driving and all that

1:21:39

Georgia players can't stop getting D UIs like

1:21:41

they're like, yeah Trevor

1:21:45

ETN Travis's little brother transferred from

1:21:47

FSU promptly got a

1:21:49

DUI up in Athens So, you know you

1:21:52

would think after all that's gone on there

1:21:54

that they would they would

1:21:56

clean that up They're

1:22:00

going in we'll talk about

1:22:02

the Texans but they're making moves. Yeah

1:22:05

Jags are you know, Jags signed Armstead

1:22:08

gave Gabe Davis a shitload of money. Don't know

1:22:10

if I love that I

1:22:12

was I was okay with them letting

1:22:15

Ridley leave For the

1:22:17

Titans. I think they paid

1:22:20

above-market value for that. I was gonna say they

1:22:22

didn't want to pay Ridley that much money Yeah,

1:22:25

the Ravens with Derek Henry. That's such a

1:22:27

good finding like yeah, I know How

1:22:31

about the really good? I thought the

1:22:33

three-point line being different. Oh This

1:22:35

was in the one of the Portland

1:22:38

regionals of the NCAA women's tournament.

1:22:40

Yeah, they I forget

1:22:43

the game but they noticed during the game

1:22:45

that the three-point line was off and The

1:22:49

coaches decided just to keep playing Because

1:22:52

you know both teams are gonna have to play

1:22:54

on that end. It's very Mickey Mouse. I Don't

1:22:58

know how something like that happens TC. It's

1:23:01

not good I will say though

1:23:03

on the positive side for the women's tournament

1:23:05

that the ratings that have come in for

1:23:07

these Iowa games are just Incredible

1:23:10

like truly incredible. It's it's

1:23:13

unbelievable. Never thought I'd see the

1:23:15

day. It's it's kind of cool. I

1:23:18

know everybody Did the easy

1:23:20

prediction is to say well, it's gonna fall

1:23:22

off big time when Caitlin Clark leaves Yeah,

1:23:24

it might but I think

1:23:26

the women's women's basketball is in

1:23:28

such a better spot It

1:23:30

feels like the men's basketball college at

1:23:33

the moment. It's it's crazy. So Was

1:23:36

was fun to see that Yeah,

1:23:38

I'm hoping at some point here that the you

1:23:41

sent that article over from the athletic about this, you

1:23:43

know Basically all the

1:23:46

Super League power football. Yeah, yeah, you know

1:23:48

those conference Those teams just breaking off and

1:23:50

like just go do your own thing for

1:23:52

like just figure something out quickly, right? We'd

1:23:54

like let's just get on to what what

1:23:57

it's gonna be. I Hate where

1:23:59

we are right now. It. It. There.

1:24:01

Would. Need. Some resolution. We are

1:24:03

1:25:45

would like owners to be a

1:25:47

little bit more judicious and like

1:25:49

wrestling back franchises from Total Shit.

1:25:51

Had owners Yes Ah how are

1:25:53

you kings doing a hassle clue

1:25:55

on Pc? The Kings. Were

1:25:58

recording on Tuesday. Tv. Massive massive

1:26:00

dame The night. That is a

1:26:02

massive week for Los Kings. They

1:26:05

currently not serious. They they added

1:26:07

up for me baby they they

1:26:09

they are in the thick of

1:26:11

the plan, their jockeying for seeding

1:26:13

here. They're currently I believe in

1:26:15

eighth place. The. Top Six.

1:26:18

Automatically advance into the play off

1:26:20

their game out of six place

1:26:22

or the trail both the Phoenix

1:26:24

Suns and the New Orleans Pelicans

1:26:27

by game there ahead of the

1:26:29

Lakers by a half game. So

1:26:31

if you're the ninth or tenth

1:26:33

seed. You. Gotta win two

1:26:35

games to make the playoffs. I've your seventh

1:26:37

or eighth seed. You gotta win one at

1:26:39

a to to make the playoffs. So been

1:26:41

at least the seven or eight feet as

1:26:43

a lot better than nine or ten we

1:26:45

are. Make sure we stay ahead of the

1:26:47

Lakers. We also a chance to get a

1:26:49

succeed and and not worry about the play

1:26:52

in D C. The. Kings, Forty

1:26:54

Five and Thirty three. Mark, I'm a

1:26:56

week monkeys out for four to six

1:26:58

months with an Mcl Terrible time. For

1:27:00

that, I'm. A

1:27:02

Fucking They They They say scrappy. I'm I'm

1:27:05

hopeful. I just want to make the playoffs.

1:27:07

I think they're kind of building. They got

1:27:09

some stability and I think I think they

1:27:11

make a big mover to this off season.

1:27:13

So. We'll. See where things take

1:27:16

out after this week. it's the last week the

1:27:18

regular season in the M B A R I

1:27:20

need my kings and I I that even mention

1:27:22

this. Therefore, Games left. They.

1:27:24

They do play the Pelican. Still, they play

1:27:27

the Sun. Still. Tonight they're in Oklahoma City

1:27:29

plane The Thunder. And. Then they

1:27:31

finish against loose book trailblazers.

1:27:33

so. They. Go in

1:27:35

three out a poor I think they

1:27:38

get a shot at the succeed. Worse

1:27:40

case they're very, they're hosting a plane

1:27:42

or or their the eighth seed and

1:27:45

don't have to win two games to

1:27:47
