[SPEAKER_01]: You have a big bill.
[SPEAKER_01]: One of his coaches great guy great with the kids literally threw him over his shoulder and carried him over to the sideline.
[SPEAKER_01]: Is that guy you called him a beast?
[SPEAKER_01]: No, that's the head coach, but it was, yeah, and he's doing fine.

[SPEAKER_01]: We're very very excited about it and I'm really really thrilled that the store and Oz is working on the RSS feeds and the bonus shows subscribers, lots of moving parts going here and hopefully everything's getting worked out for people.
[SPEAKER_01]: Although I will say it again.
[SPEAKER_01]: uh... there is no one that squeaks like our listener squeak oh they like the squeak public leave you know it would be the equivalent of you're not satisfied with something you bought at a big box store
[SPEAKER_01]: and you walk into the middle of the big box store and as opposed to just going up to the manager, instead, you choose to say at the top of your list.
[SPEAKER_01]: Hello.
[SPEAKER_01]: I, this drill does not work with the battery.
[SPEAKER_01]: You told me it was going to work with.
[SPEAKER_02]: What's wrong with you?
[SPEAKER_02]: You.
[UNKNOWN]: You.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then the person in the box store might also yell, I think I'm going to contact the manager.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but not absolutely contacting the manager first, which would be the prudent thing to do.
[SPEAKER_01]: But look, these are the people that care, and they care about our stuff, and I'm happy for that, and I'm happy that people are listening to the show, and enjoying it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now let me get back to my son last night.
[SPEAKER_01]: So, a big game against the elites.
[SPEAKER_01]: down in Naples.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if they're leads.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a richer town than ours.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's of course.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's not their team.
[SPEAKER_02]: No.
[SPEAKER_01]: But there are people from all walks of life that play in this football league.
[SPEAKER_01]: So I shouldn't be making a class.
[SPEAKER_02]: They shut the door to anybody.
[SPEAKER_01]: They their facility.
[SPEAKER_01]: I will say this in that county.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a different county.
[SPEAKER_01]: I have to go over a county line to uh to take on Naples Florida.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: And their facility is not real grass, it's a turf, it's a astro turf facility.
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's, and it's massive, and super deluxe, nice.
[SPEAKER_01]: And since it's not going to be insanely hot, although it's not going to be that cool either, it tends to overheat when you're in the middle of the summer because of the, the turf.
[SPEAKER_02]: The turf does not, yeah, it does not, but it doesn't absorb any heat.
[SPEAKER_01]: So I am last night in a state of slumber at my kids.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I wear the sunglasses when we get to practice.
[SPEAKER_01]: I put down my brand new camp chair that has a slight reclining feature.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I quite often at the very beginning when they're just doing exercises that I've seen a million times.
[SPEAKER_01]: I will
[SPEAKER_02]: put my chair off to the side so it's not to have much interaction with parents at all not that I'm being anti-social not I close my eyes a little bit and I I don't know there's no crime in that as has been proven by our ex president at his own at his own trial at his own court proceedings if you need to grab 40 winks do it and besides if you're sleeping you're not tripping
[SPEAKER_01]: I got on a thread down here from some of the people at Happy Valley, and it came from I have no idea what it was, and I don't know what it means, and I don't know if it's a conspiracy, and I have no idea what they were, but it was thanks somebody 42,000 times.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what that meant.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if it came from truth social, the Trump platform.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_02]: Is there something that does 42,000 indicate something
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, I have no idea what that means, what it's about, but I was a little uncomfortable with it.
[SPEAKER_01]: I happened to slip into these threads periodically and I'm not quite sure why, but the people that were responding are the true believers, if you know what I mean.
[SPEAKER_01]: I know.
[SPEAKER_01]: And when from your whole neighborhood, thank you for coming to play today twice on the show.
[SPEAKER_01]: First of all, this is the thread that I got on last night, but let me get back to you.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to get out of order and it's a goofy Friday, so I'm all over the place.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so I'm off there doing my little dosing and this is really why.
[SPEAKER_01]: they require for this type of little league pop Warner for parents to be on campus when you could say at least one guardian parent has to be there when the kids are practicing because it's football and kids get hurt and you want to have somebody there in case there's a problem.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes sir, when you're at that fancy place with the turf do the players sometimes are they sent with like a butler or a nanny?
[SPEAKER_02]: or handler.
[SPEAKER_01]: I would assume manys are probably there.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now I should also say that it's a big county and it's a big town.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not just the the richy rich area is, you know, not nearly as big as the whole area.
[SPEAKER_01]: So they'll okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to get I want to get away from that.
[SPEAKER_01]: So they're not.
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's in fact, but they're good.
[SPEAKER_01]: And their coaches are mean.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's all I remember from last year.
[SPEAKER_02]: I withdraw the remark.
[SPEAKER_02]: I was just trying to figure out where the T.M.O.S.
[SPEAKER_01]: Classic.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think their coaches of the kind of, say, would be a, you know, go Tyler, go Tyler, go Tyler, who knows?
[SPEAKER_02]: But last night, we must get away from that.
[SPEAKER_01]: My kid is a linebacker and he has a nose for the ball.
[SPEAKER_01]: And so when they're doing this damage, what's that?
[SPEAKER_01]: Like a young Sam Huff.
[SPEAKER_02]: How many people now do you think no Sam Huff Mike anyone who follows football at all knows that all line yes the greatest 21 year old that follows football with no Sam Huff I say wrong the greatest linebacker in the history of the NFL and inventor to see the Lawrence Taylor was the greatest linebacker in the history not if you ask Sam Sam's dead well then I guess that settles that yes, but right am I right about that you know You want that death real in your head.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's lost him
[SPEAKER_01]: So Mike, if you were hoping, hey, uh, hey, ah, let me introduce you to somebody you haven't met yet.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, this is Friday.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is Friday, Rob.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, it's special, then, for the bonus show, people.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's very, very special.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's always selling the great and powerful laws with his high voice today.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, Mike, the thing I'm not saying about being dead.
[SPEAKER_02]: If you really had any hope for him returning to the giants this season, forget it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Thanks.
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, I have a question.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh my god.
[SPEAKER_01]: What are you?
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you have something going on this weekend?
[SPEAKER_01]: Is there something you're you seem unusually effusive today?
[SPEAKER_02]: Nothing really.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh no, I do as a matter of fact tomorrow at Jimmy's is the sixth anniversary of his King of the Wings that I'll be MCing
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if you don't get happy t-shirt all right by then I don't think so, but you know, it's going to be an exciting day Jimmy's going to go out in the street and do the dance do the dance, yes, I'm sure that the former mayor will be there the present mayors should be there and I've prepared some remarks.
[SPEAKER_02]: Obviously, Jimmy has been at this restaurant slash cavern game for a while.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, they feed you winning.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, they free feed you before or after the the ceremony.
[SPEAKER_02]: I did this for the fourth and not the fourth of July, but the fourth king of the wing celebration.
[SPEAKER_02]: Fourth time, which was years ago.
[SPEAKER_02]: Years ago, this is the sixth.
[SPEAKER_02]: And what he did was he tied, you know, there's two kinds of wings, the drumette and the flat.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the little ones that don't have the drum the drummies and the flats.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're Clats.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's what I've always called them.
[SPEAKER_01]: I've never seen me as a you have to ask Jimmy I'd like to get confirmation that because I've never said I like them both so I don't But I used to have eat wings with people that would order drummies only and I guess that's sort of a dick move
[SPEAKER_01]: And it was a dick that did it.
[SPEAKER_01]: He will go nameless, but nobody knows him on the show, but it was, yeah, it was like, drumming is only, like, getting all the drummers gives somebody else.
[SPEAKER_01]: The flats, I didn't do it at all.
[SPEAKER_02]: And you see the thing about a flat is if you're good at it, you can clean a flat down to the bone in one swipe.
[SPEAKER_01]: Jimmy has a technique.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_01]: Where you put the entire flat in your mouth, and then you pull out the butt, it's very interesting to watch him do it.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's actually much more efficient than the drum at or drum me.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, what's the difference between a drum at or drumming are there?
[SPEAKER_01]: You're the same.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's the same.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because if you look at a wing and actual chicken wing that you fly, there's two pieces.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's where you crack it.
[SPEAKER_02]: And there's the drumstick part of the drum at, because it's not really a drumstick and the fly.
[SPEAKER_01]: So if you get the, if you go into the grocery store sometimes, you can get the flat and the drumming or the drum at attached.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and that's why you should have full wing right you should have a good kitchen shears for splitting them if you want to make them yourself You know it's gorgeous.
[SPEAKER_02]: Throw them in and you can eat the whole thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you can not You know like but it's not as easy if they're not split
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so where the hell I've lost my train of course.
[SPEAKER_02]: So it is the sixth, his sixth consecutive victory as King of Kings.
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's why you're bouncing off the walls.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's an outing for you.
[SPEAKER_01]: Get to go out of the house.
[SPEAKER_01]: People, the thing about you are essentially, most of your day, you're a shut-in.
[SPEAKER_02]: And so the walk the dog, that's always a big thing.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's true.
[SPEAKER_02]: The opportunity to get outside.
[SPEAKER_01]: So the wings will be the Bill of Fair, and you'll probably enjoy some of them after your ceremony.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to have them after because you don't want to have wingsawes on your mouth when you're doing me announcements or do I get up there and I look like the joker Drifting down.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm jealous.
[SPEAKER_01]: I I would I would want to go and do the remarks.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but I would love to go because I'm not as kind as you are, but I would love to go and hang out and watch you give the remark you still live locally
[SPEAKER_02]: And Jimmy, who has been nothing, but extraordinarily generous and give, give, give, and any time we've required one thing of him, he would give us to, who's our first live appearance for the local mayor of podcast.
[SPEAKER_02]: If during a blizzard, and it was, we packed it for a super bowl.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was, it was the moment of truth for us, where we said, okay, this is something we can, we can stay with and do.
[SPEAKER_02]: But if you still live local to the DC area, let's say you lived in
[SPEAKER_02]: And Jimmy called you and said, hey buddy, it's James Serrito and I've just won my sixth consecutive King of the Wings Contest would you please come out and make remarks at the ceremony.
[SPEAKER_02]: I would.
[SPEAKER_01]: Of course you would.
[SPEAKER_01]: I would, but I mean, I would much rather as you know, attend and have and watch you.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now if I attended with the purpose of watching you and I got there early and I was able to linger at the bar.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: I may, you know, jump in.
[SPEAKER_01]: In fact, it's almost what?
[SPEAKER_01]: About 99% that I would jump in, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I would say 90% because- Or heckle you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, you would debt, that's 100%.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's why that wave.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, you might even arrange a Zoom call to heckle me.
[SPEAKER_02]: Get out of the street, fat ass!
[SPEAKER_01]: T.M.O.S.
[SPEAKER_01]: Classic.
[SPEAKER_02]: But while we have it, while we're on this topic and I know Jimmy listens and I know he's a bonus show subscriber Jimmy, I'm not going to wear a hat that looks like a wing, I'm not going to wear a hat that looks like a cheese steak and I'm not going to wear anything spangly as far as a sports jacket.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I've prepared remarks and you know there's no greater supporter than me and my family, but well, that's one reason for that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, we have paid, you, you, I mean, oftentimes he will give us a complementary thing.
[SPEAKER_01]: Let me tell you the joy of doing the shows now.
[SPEAKER_01]: People have complimented us.
[SPEAKER_01]: I said, thank you.
[SPEAKER_01]: I appreciate that.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: The reason is, um, um,
[SPEAKER_01]: Rob and I have the same brain and quite often that Rob knows exactly what's in my head.
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's why I wasn't able to, when I said for one reason, he immediately knew what I was talking about.
[SPEAKER_02]: But we've done this a long time.
[SPEAKER_01]: If you were to break down, and I'm listening, I don't think.
[SPEAKER_01]: Be grudgy.
[SPEAKER_01]: I have enjoyed the same treatment from the illustrious James Tiberius Serrito, multiple, the freemales are a multi-fold.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: And you know what, and I will say this for both of us.
[SPEAKER_02]: When we are given complementary food and it's sensational, we always way generously tip our server because you know what, that's something they need.
[SPEAKER_02]: So,
[SPEAKER_02]: Oftentimes, the procedure is free meal, big tip to the server, and I say most people walk away happy.
[SPEAKER_01]: I saw a clip from Jason Alexander speaking of tipping that, do you have hair or no hair in this?
[SPEAKER_01]: No, it's an older Jason.
[SPEAKER_01]: I was okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: He was telling.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they call it taking the mafia quiz.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm going to let you take it.
[SPEAKER_01]: And hopefully I won't pull this off.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is posing a situation to you.
[SPEAKER_01]: And what do you do?
[SPEAKER_02]: OK.
[SPEAKER_01]: Here it is.
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[SPEAKER_01]: John Gotti gets out of jail.
[SPEAKER_01]: and goes to the you're the owner of the restaurant that he chooses to have his welcome home celebration why is he coming to Applebeast please focus on the stick here okay focus on the the the causal yes and not the not stick okay me start again please john gotty gets out of jail
[SPEAKER_01]: Decides to have his celebratory welcome home dinner at your restaurant that you own you are in there They come in with all of John Gaudi's friends.
[SPEAKER_01]: They rack up a bill.
[SPEAKER_01]: It is $20,000 at the end of the meal one of John Gaudi's Minions Comes over to you and says what do we what do we owe you and
[SPEAKER_01]: There is a way to handle this that works out perfectly.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not as simple as you may think, but how do you handle it when the minion from John Gotti comes over to you and says, how much do you owe you?
[SPEAKER_01]: What do you do?
[SPEAKER_02]: Wow, um, the initial thought would be to comp everything.
[SPEAKER_02]: But,
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't follow the mafia lifestyle, and I feel that somehow doing that, I will say that Jason could be a good person.
[SPEAKER_01]: I could be an imperfect answer, the perfect answer, and I'm going to give you a hint.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, no, I'm going to put that in my hand, I have a answer without a hint.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, go ahead.
[SPEAKER_02]: Here's my answer.
[SPEAKER_02]: We're so honored that you came here tonight.
[SPEAKER_02]: What do you feel the meal is worth?
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I like that they shoot me now.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, not yet.
[SPEAKER_01]: Not yet.
[SPEAKER_01]: You can I'm going to say you're wrong with that.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll let you get all you'll let you try another attack.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Here's what I want you to say.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm stymied.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm so sorry.
[SPEAKER_02]: But it's it's really a tough.
[SPEAKER_01]: Jason Alexander's answer was the correct answer, and it was as follows.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: So he says, listen, I certainly can't do this all the time, but since this is a special occasion, I would love to take care of your bill.
[SPEAKER_01]: All I ask is that you compliment the servers, and we are honored that you chose my restaurant to come in here.
[SPEAKER_01]: Let me tell you why that is the
[SPEAKER_02]: That is pretty sensational and slick, smart.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: If you say that you will comp everything like you did with your incorrect first answer that you write, they will return and return and return of our good fellows and they will take full advantage as they do.
[SPEAKER_01]: If you refuse or not really refuse, but if you say thank you, I'm so glad the total is $20,000.
[SPEAKER_01]: The probably come back that night and burn down your building.
[SPEAKER_01]: If you say...
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a special occasion, and I really can't do this on a regular basis, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: You satisfy them, you take care of the servers, and they don't come back and bother you, because they know they'd have to take advantage of somebody else.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's why it's the perfect mafia answer.
[SPEAKER_02]: That is a good answer, and in my fantasy world, they would still pay the bill, because you know what they would be honored by the response.
[SPEAKER_01]: What is no, they wouldn't be on this pissed off.
[SPEAKER_02]: You made him pay no, no, you give them.
[SPEAKER_02]: You say it's complimentary, but then they say that's a son nice.
[SPEAKER_02]: We pay him anyway.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, uh, which would let me pay them anyway.
[SPEAKER_01]: What do you mean?
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, they don't pay.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're not, they're not, they're not going to pay.
[SPEAKER_01]: They don't pay.
[SPEAKER_01]: Then no, you did, they're not, you said they're in the same show that I'm that I'm doing right here.
[SPEAKER_02]: You mean that they're not so pleased that you
[SPEAKER_01]: that they don't give you a consideration anyway because they're impressed with no that you're the consideration he mentions that that take care of the servers take care of the tips for the people that are working that's the perfect answer what this is why I don't know the restaurant that's why it's that fantasy or something fantasy I mean well I mean again the whole thing is fantasy and your fantasy and you're you're you're fact you would have them say well because you were so it's the mafia they don't work like that
[SPEAKER_02]: He has to pose.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're not putting out a test of your kindness.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're not.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're putting out a test of whether they can exploit you for the rest of your natural life.
[SPEAKER_01]: When you say, uh, since it's a special occasion, and I can only do this one time, that's why.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I don't know if I would have given the correct answer either.
[SPEAKER_01]: I probably would have said, just comp the whole thing.
[SPEAKER_01]: But no, if you do that and you don't put any thought to it, and you don't qualify it, they're going to slide back in and take advantage and then eventually take over your joint and bring this stuff through the back door and then eventually when you've exhausted all your supplies and your booze and everything, they come by and they take sternum and attach it to toilet paper and wrap it up in the eaves and burn the place down.
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's no good.
[SPEAKER_02]: You don't want that.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh my god.
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
[SPEAKER_01]: So getting back to Mike.
[SPEAKER_01]: The mafia scares me.
[SPEAKER_01]: So I mean, it's the whole.
[SPEAKER_01]: I just got it was interesting.
[SPEAKER_01]: It is.
[SPEAKER_02]: And you know what?
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm in the end of the world.
[SPEAKER_01]: Which was very, very cool.
[SPEAKER_01]: So as far as Jimmy's, you would say you have paid at Jimmy's before.
[SPEAKER_01]: I would say it would you like to give us a percentage of the number of times you have gone to Jimmy's and paid.
[SPEAKER_02]: I would say 60% of the time, between the things that you have paid that I have paid.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because here's one.
[SPEAKER_02]: You decline that?
[SPEAKER_02]: If it's not a card, Mr. Speedwag has been declined.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, that might be part of this situation, too.
[SPEAKER_02]: But if Jimmy's not there, or I don't know what you're talking about.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, I get it if you want to take full advantage of there.
[SPEAKER_01]: Six years ago, you personally, I'm saying, not your family necessarily, but you personally.
[SPEAKER_01]: But I mean, if I go with my family, that's me personally.
[SPEAKER_02]: If I go, you're gonna take your family on Saturday.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, it's just me and my buddy's gone.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's my date and my buddy, John.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, John, I've known him for a long, long time.
[SPEAKER_02]: He never heard about John, Rob.
[SPEAKER_02]: He, you know what, I'm trying to think if you would have met him anywhere.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I don't get, you're not over.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know Brad, Brad, John, Matt.
[SPEAKER_02]: John, I've known for about ten or close to Pat House out when we will swap if occasional messages, but I mean, he's, you know, he's out of town.
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's hard to, when we go on the road somewhere and he bumps into this, I always feel like I've known him for a long time.
[SPEAKER_02]: You have known him for a long time.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I guess I have, and he tries to annoy me, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: He does, that's his thing.
[SPEAKER_01]: He likes to try to annoy me, which is fun, which is a good guy.
[SPEAKER_02]: Charm Lee is a good guy.
[SPEAKER_01]: But John, I don't know this yet.
[SPEAKER_02]: John works for an organization.
[SPEAKER_02]: I forget I think he's a small business in Langley.
[SPEAKER_02]: And he's okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's why he doesn't like to be discussed.
[SPEAKER_02]: And he, he's got two beautiful daughters.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I've known him, surprise to you, hangs out with you.
[SPEAKER_01]: Why?
[SPEAKER_01]: God, damn it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Why?
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm a blabber.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's part of my KD crew.
[SPEAKER_02]: We've gone to Kings Dominion a few times, and he's just a nice guy.
[SPEAKER_01]: So does he, is he unable to share with you what he does?
[SPEAKER_02]: I have never pressured him to find out.
[SPEAKER_01]: but he mentioned the general company.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's kind of cool.
[SPEAKER_02]: I've been to parties at his house where I've met other people at the company, which is always fun.
[SPEAKER_01]: If you were to hazard a guess.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: would you think that there was a chance that the way this guy conducts himself and the way he is as a human being that he perhaps could participate in some of the mission type activities?
[SPEAKER_01]: No, he's too goofy.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh really?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he really is.
[SPEAKER_01]: Is he physically fit?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, well he's skinny.
[SPEAKER_01]: That means like he could like pass an obstacle course or something.
[SPEAKER_01]: Sure.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Mike actually I am his obstacle course So you don't think he does that type of thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I don't I don't I his I believe his past is in library sciences
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, okay, because I had a friend way back.
[SPEAKER_01]: Remember that fabulous Willow Lake apartment?
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: I had a neighbor who I hung out with who worked for the National Security Administration.
[SPEAKER_01]: And he was talking about the fact that he could not talk about what he did.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and, you know, he made jokes about it because he couldn't, but he never, even with the jokes he never said anything.
[SPEAKER_01]: There are a lot of, for those of you that have never been on our nation's capital, yeah, it's an industry, the government.
[SPEAKER_01]: All in industry there and some of the government, the basic secret squirrel stuff that they do and, and they, and by the way, a lot, I think we never pay enough attention outside of our silly little fake TV shows to what these guys do.
[SPEAKER_01]: in Langley, which is the central intelligence agencies headquarters that has stars on it with no names that represent the secret spy guys that have lost their lives in the light of George Herbert Walker Bush CIA central office it's it's weird where it's never been never have never have almost took a wrong turn in their wants yet because it's right off the George
[SPEAKER_02]: and also root one twenty three right through McLean.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're two ways to access it and I know this I took a wrong turn trying to get to go the other way on the George Washington Parkway Mike the only road that is a national park.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I was yeah so I was taking a taking a new turn and I ended up on the and it was weird suddenly the minute I got on like the driveway of the CIA my cell phone dropped out.
[SPEAKER_02]: the very second really yeah so i don't know if they're running jammers or what but that was really weird uh and it is in the middle of suburban washington dc of a town called mcclean it's one town over and in the woods you would never find it if you weren't looking for it it's the weirdest placement for that
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, we'll tell our listeners if we're going to have to see Rob and his friend, uh, his friend might have coins for you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, no, you guys don't think he might have like a nickel.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's he ever coined you.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's never coined me.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think he's a coining guy.
[SPEAKER_01]: I got all my coins up in Maine.
[SPEAKER_02]: I got I should have a case for them.
[SPEAKER_02]: You have a lot.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I have a bunch.
[SPEAKER_01]: I have a bunch of things to give them to me all the time.
[SPEAKER_01]: There was a time when it was right.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was during my motorcycle era.
[SPEAKER_01]: And by the way, I had a Jones yesterday.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll get back to Michael in a second.
[SPEAKER_01]: I know what I'd dressed from the story.
[SPEAKER_01]: I was telling it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll finish it right now.
[SPEAKER_01]: So he's in the middle of the skirmish and all of a sudden, I'm far enough away.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're skirmishing on the other side of the field.
[SPEAKER_01]: and they're doing it with wise so they're coming towards us and they're way over there.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're multiple practices going on in this multiple field and I see him lying down and then you know it happens all the time.
[SPEAKER_01]: These kids get banged up.
[SPEAKER_01]: They lie down for a second and then somebody helps him up.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not getting up and then I see one coach go over.
[SPEAKER_01]: I see another and as soon as I see the other one I'm out of my chair and I'm heading to the field and I go through it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Was it hard to get up because you know you're you know sometimes you're groggy after a nap.
[SPEAKER_01]: I was I was actually awake.
[SPEAKER_01]: I was actually watching this.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's why I saw that he was down.
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[SPEAKER_01]: Take it my nap earlier in the practice.
[SPEAKER_01]: And when I get over there, I see now all the coaches are around him.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now I'm starting to freak out ever so slightly.
[SPEAKER_01]: the head coach turns around.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's got to.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he hyper extended his knee.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then one of the coaches says, yeah, I might not be a bad idea to have it looked at.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now I'm, you know, now I'm concerned.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then Big Bill takes him and he's this big offensive line coach and he takes him over his shoulder, brings him over to the bench, parents are wonderful.
[SPEAKER_01]: uh... the digest and who's one of the dads of the other kid uh... the up one of the other kids brings over the ice two guys bring over ice form we put the ice on it and he's able to uh... get off the field uh... on his own power although the uh... kids that run around as a toy in the pop Warner golf cart uh... you know that's a time when maybe it would have been beneficial to have it and it and they finally comes here back i'm like excuse me
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, you're not giving your theme park rides, do you think we could?
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't say that, but I thought it.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's actually what you should have thought I would have when my kids sit in there, and then the lady who I love, I wish I remembered a first name, Carla Wood.
[SPEAKER_02]: Is it Merl?
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not Merl.
[SPEAKER_01]: Hi Merl!
[SPEAKER_02]: Hi Merl, Squeak!
[SPEAKER_01]: And that thing squeaky.
[SPEAKER_01]: The lady comes over and says, get out of the bad.
[SPEAKER_01]: Have the kids get out.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is not for rides.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is just for what this is.
[SPEAKER_01]: If a player gets injured and then they take him to our car, we ice the thing.
[SPEAKER_01]: He is walking better by the time he gets to a house.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's great.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's glimping a little bit this morning, but here's the thing.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's all up 10.
[SPEAKER_01]: every bit of 10 years old.
[SPEAKER_01]: So when I put when I whipped out one of Daddy's Velcro knee braces, which you know, which are just a fit, which fit him like a glove, shit was, you know, he's going to school with his little badge of honor.
[SPEAKER_02]: And you know, you should have told him, you said, you know, son, this is the brace I wore when I was 10 years old.
[SPEAKER_01]: I right away found one that was perfect for him and hopefully he'll be ready for game time but I'm not a hundred percent sure and I hope for he's not we'll go to the game anyway and he'll be a who wears jersey and stand up when you talk about the golf cart you made me think when I used to call the high school games when Julia and Robert were going to high school it was a lot of fun I really did enjoy it but right
[SPEAKER_02]: there was a player moving vehicle that I never once saw being used as a player moving yeah because they they play in it right you didn't seem you're driving up and down this trip it's just a little profile exactly yeah it's like oh I'll bring the mouth guard out to the kid we
[SPEAKER_01]: And it goes out.
[SPEAKER_02]: The best one I saw was I mean, this is designed.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like a mini pickup truck It's beyond a golf cart right and I saw like a junior young lady driving up in another field with one case of bottled water on it Yeah, that's how they roll that's right
[SPEAKER_01]: Now in fairness to them, some of these people that there are a lot of moving parts with this thing, because he got 14, you 12, you 10, you eight, you, all over these two full-size football fields with a complex in the middle.
[SPEAKER_01]: And you know, but he was fine, he's a brave kid, but I thought about it after he left this morning with Carlin.
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought it was so cute because of course, what kid doesn't like his first bandage that he puts on because it's like, gonna go, hey, what happened Michael?
[SPEAKER_01]: And he likes the attention.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, hopefully knock on wood.
[SPEAKER_01]: He'll be playing tomorrow, but uh, you know, I don't want to put you and we didn't get any medical attention.
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't think it warranted.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, you can, I mean, you can watch out on that.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, if, obviously, if he's improved overnight, I'm sure he's fine.
