[SPEAKER_05]: What is that?
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, it's wrong.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, when we started this show, the names were switched.
[SPEAKER_03]: I get it.
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, because Rob's running late, and I did check.
[SPEAKER_03]: So Rob thought we were recording the afternoon.
[SPEAKER_03]: I did check the text message you sent yesterday and it says, uh, it says, so sorry, any chance we can tape at 4 p.m. tomorrow, my son's game was changed.
[SPEAKER_05]: now.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: I can.
[SPEAKER_03]: Confused.
[SPEAKER_03]: So know that.
[SPEAKER_05]: And then he gave them that's the, that's where the confusion.
[SPEAKER_05]: You assumed it was the, the bonus as well, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: I just, yes, I knew it was the bonus because why would your son have a game at eight in the morning?
[SPEAKER_03]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's where my brain was.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, that was that was sweating the details.
[SPEAKER_03]: But there's yeah, there's a enough with how Rob's we know how Rob's brain has been working the past month.
[SPEAKER_03]: So I can totally understand miss read in that.
[SPEAKER_06]: So Josh, is Can you hear me, Rob?
[SPEAKER_06]: I can.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm sorry about that, fellas.
[SPEAKER_05]: I feel like no, no, no, no, no, no, we're giving you the free pass here because the.
[SPEAKER_05]: It was.
[SPEAKER_05]: was not what's the word I want to use was not did not have clarity.
[SPEAKER_05]: I should have made and I hear a little bounce back there too.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, the text was clearly did not say bonus show, which is a good time to tell people the bonus show will be at 4 PM today.
[SPEAKER_05]: 4 PM taping on the bonus show and one other programming note as far as the bonus show.
[SPEAKER_05]: Today on the bonus show you're going to find out a little info that nobody else is going to know.
[SPEAKER_05]: You're going to get a first or are we ready to go with that yet?
[SPEAKER_03]: Are we really has that been confirmed?
[SPEAKER_03]: It's like 99.9 so but maybe we'll bring your calendar
[SPEAKER_05]: All right, bring your calendar.
[SPEAKER_05]: We've got a date for you to know.
[SPEAKER_05]: So, Bob, getting back to your Rob didn't know what you were doing in show today.
[SPEAKER_05]: And to any point, but hold on.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, because the way the text was written, Josh understood I was referring to the bonus show.
[SPEAKER_05]: And, but it, you know, you didn't.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, no, no, I've done this before, but it's been 10 years and we'll feel as stupid as you can feel when it happens.
[SPEAKER_06]: So I apologize for the jumbled beginning of the program.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, that was my question for both of you guys.
[SPEAKER_03]: You did a morning show on the radio and stuff.
[SPEAKER_03]: Have you ever been late for your show when you're on the radio?
[SPEAKER_05]: You know, it's funny with my history, with my history of doing the shows.
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't know whether it's late or it's hung over.
[SPEAKER_05]: And I did, probably a lot more than I had met to, but the real bad hangovers were back when we were doing the morning show when I was put on the unable to perform list.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's the phrase I remember when it was actually party.
[SPEAKER_06]: It was actually brought up on air.
[SPEAKER_06]: Michael Mara unable to perform and I was a kid then.
[SPEAKER_05]: And then I was a kid then and that was so out.
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, no, my producer, here's the thing.
[SPEAKER_05]: We had a rating period where we were in the ratings we were worse to first.
[SPEAKER_05]: We'd had a real glitch where we got knocked off by this terrible station that had no business beating us because we were more listened to.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's back when people filled out diaries in this segment.
[SPEAKER_03]: What was the other show?
[SPEAKER_03]: I know that.
[SPEAKER_05]: Jennifer Harris in the morning.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, the classic rock station and we came back and beat them and beat everybody and we were really excited.
[SPEAKER_05]: And we had this massive ratings party.
[SPEAKER_05]: I think on a Thursday night and we have one more show to do and we were talking to Alan Goodman, our general manager and convinced him that we would do an 830
[SPEAKER_05]: Happy, happy, joy, joy, and when I arrive via cab, I, from wherever I, I was put on the, unable to perform less.
[SPEAKER_03]: At this point, were you, were you a five-hour show?
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, but really for because it didn't start till six.
[SPEAKER_06]: It started with wacky tapes at 530.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: But do you remember what?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: You're now doing an hour show and you can't inform.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, it was, I think it was Rick D's that they found out that he had been do pre-producing his first hour and a competitive disjockey hung outside of Rick D's his home and saw him leave his house at like 6.25.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's good.
[SPEAKER_14]: For a six o'clock start.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, the nice guy in that guy really, really good guy.
[SPEAKER_06]: And people want to know the quality of Harris in the morning.
[SPEAKER_06]: His cornerstone bit was called the marching weatherman.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's, and I'm not even going to get you any more than, yeah, but I mean, to make it like it was being done by marching troops, not great.
[SPEAKER_06]: Not great.
[SPEAKER_06]: It was not fun.
[SPEAKER_05]: The idea of really being late.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's a weird business because it is so.
[SPEAKER_05]: it's so not done, uh, that, uh, you know, and as far as, but, but you're off the hook, Rob, because, uh, you know, you might do your kind of a killer to, you know, and what do you mean?
[SPEAKER_05]: Why?
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, when you say you're off the hook, it means you're really cool.
[SPEAKER_06]: What does it mean?
[SPEAKER_03]: He's, he's, he's going with slang.
[SPEAKER_03]: The slang man, you're off the hook.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, no.
[SPEAKER_05]: No, you're, you're not in trouble.
[SPEAKER_05]: Not that you were in trouble, you know?
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, I've been, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_05]: I've been used to you up shows since you've been in Miami.
[SPEAKER_05]: So that's okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_05]: But Mike, be fair, be fair.
[SPEAKER_06]: Since we were on terrestrial radio, you just did that.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, we, you know, the health scare and if you really go through all of this.
[SPEAKER_05]: I am so high-mitted.
[SPEAKER_03]: I am so high-mitted, I am so high-mitted, I am so high-mitted.
[SPEAKER_03]: You are a handful.
[SPEAKER_03]: But today, I did not want to defend you, but there's definitely confusion.
[SPEAKER_05]: Because it is, I said, for a PM, but you pointed out the point out the fact that the baseball game, how, why would I have switched times?
[SPEAKER_05]: for 4 p.m.
[SPEAKER_03]: If he doesn't know if baseball's not played at 8 a.m.
[SPEAKER_03]: He doesn't know what.
[SPEAKER_05]: Do you understand what he's saying?
[SPEAKER_05]: Do you even understand the concept?
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I do.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's um, it's nice to be kicked when you're down.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's the concept.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, you know.
[SPEAKER_05]: No, no, no, no, no, no.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm kidding.
[SPEAKER_05]: Hold on.
[SPEAKER_05]: I said to Josh right before you got here.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: The card has been played now.
[SPEAKER_06]: probably for the last time that's no, I don't look at it as a card what I look at it is I've come to your real life It's the one and I don't and it's and again, I don't even look at it that way when I said that it's because I've come on and I've been I already felt rotten
[SPEAKER_06]: And, you know, is to break it down to me, not understanding baseball.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's just a little extra, you know, pepper in the stew.
[SPEAKER_06]: I didn't expect that, but guys, I feel rotten about it.
[SPEAKER_06]: I know.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's the reason you're staying in Miami, you know, long, when are, how long are you?
[SPEAKER_05]: Do you have a date?
[SPEAKER_05]: Do you have a return date yet?
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't have a return ticket yet.
[SPEAKER_06]: I've got sort of an idea of when I'm going to come back.
[SPEAKER_06]: A concept.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I have an, I like our president's foot.
[SPEAKER_06]: I have an idea of what you're doing.
[SPEAKER_05]: Aren't you dying to get back with your wife?
[SPEAKER_06]: There's so much to do down here, Mike.
[SPEAKER_06]: You know, lots of stuff every day.
[SPEAKER_06]: Dude, get back to Virginia.
[SPEAKER_06]: Come on.
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, get back.
[SPEAKER_03]: We've all said six more weeks.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: We didn't know that meant for Rob.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_06]: Do you like Florida?
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: But I like being home too, but I also feel to be perfectly honest, I take some comfort in being here.
[SPEAKER_06]: Right.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_06]: All right.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's cool.
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, I'm surrounded by my dead stuff.
[SPEAKER_06]: Also, I think it would be kind of, I told Kathy, I said, I'll go home when we feel like it's appropriate or after I've worn out my welcome.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I don't think either has happened yet.
[SPEAKER_06]: Is her son still there?
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes, Josh is here, but he's gone most of the day.
[SPEAKER_06]: We only see him in the evenings because he's doing his he's got a new job.
[SPEAKER_06]: He's actually based in Tampa, but he's doing work in Miami.
[SPEAKER_06]: So he was he's here sort of by necessity, but it's just like.
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, yesterday, I've, right now I'll tell you when I went to bed was not good.
[SPEAKER_06]: I was, I was a mess last night.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I don't like that.
[SPEAKER_06]: I want to make sure that I don't try and my biggest concern is with all the deaths I've had in the past few years.
[SPEAKER_06]: And Mike, you've experienced a lot of them, too.
[SPEAKER_06]: Is I've tried to sort of compartmentalize the grieving and just say I'll deal with this later.
[SPEAKER_06]: And it ends up being a tremendous mistake.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I want to make sure that we are both Kathy and I, both have our feet firmly on the ground and we're ready for this to happen.
[SPEAKER_05]: And I don't want to run online or check out any counseling sites to help you get through this.
[SPEAKER_06]: Not yet, but I will.
[SPEAKER_06]: I want to sometimes, if you are in a different state, it is a different deal.
[SPEAKER_06]: Like, you know, laws are different state to state.
[SPEAKER_06]: So I'll probably do that when I go to Virginia.
[SPEAKER_06]: But
[SPEAKER_06]: It's it is tough.
[SPEAKER_06]: I want to be home.
[SPEAKER_06]: I miss my life.
[SPEAKER_06]: I miss my family.
[SPEAKER_05]: I miss my house and my dogs and every Me just do this for a second here because, you know, our personal lives take precedence over this show and If anybody's out there and can give Rob a tip on a You know, a line to call or a hotline call.
[SPEAKER_05]: I think that would be a that we really helpful because they're plenty of them I'm sure that help people through
[SPEAKER_05]: this tough time, and I think that you're probably in need of, you know, when you mention the hospice does everything, I think that after the fact, too, I think maybe you need a little help, and I think maybe you would be.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'll take it.
[SPEAKER_06]: You know, that would be just everything.
[SPEAKER_06]: The hospice can't grieve for you.
[SPEAKER_06]: And again, you can say your whole life that you're preparing for it, and you're ready for it, and you can have the longest runway in the world.
[SPEAKER_06]: And you're not ready for it.
[SPEAKER_06]: You're just not ready for it.
[SPEAKER_06]: And it's weird that last night I lay down and I just, I started crying.
[SPEAKER_06]: I wasn't thinking about anything in particular.
[SPEAKER_06]: I wasn't citing him or remembering him and I just put my head down the pillow and I felt the tears coming.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's like, God, man.
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't want to, you know, I don't, if I give you my feelings at my advice on it,
[SPEAKER_05]: It's only out of a desire for you to understand what's going on, but the idea of that happening, that's where things will never be the same.
[SPEAKER_05]: And one of the things I say to people, it will get better with time.
[SPEAKER_05]: It will, every day, every day.
[SPEAKER_05]: But it will never be the same.
[SPEAKER_05]: And that's where that comes from.
[SPEAKER_05]: You'll find that on the significant dates and on anniversaries of accidents and things like that.
[SPEAKER_05]: and then you'll remember and I got to take three years down the road.
[SPEAKER_05]: So you have that to look forward to.
[SPEAKER_06]: But I got to think that the first year is got to be the hardest and this might be a ham-handed comparison, but the first year I had of sobriety.
[SPEAKER_06]: It was like, well, this is the first Thanksgiving.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm not going to drink.
[SPEAKER_06]: This is the first Christmas.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm not going to drink.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, this is the first Christmas that my dad won't come over to the house or can't come over to the house.
[SPEAKER_06]: This is the first birthday he's missed.
[SPEAKER_06]: And so I imagine that first year is going to be hard, but I've had so many people also tell me that.
[SPEAKER_06]: the things that you grieve about are going to be the things that you end up loving and remembering them with.
[SPEAKER_06]: So negative slowly turns in to positive in that way, but it's not a fast process by any stretch of the imagination.
[SPEAKER_06]: And it's, I've not been through anything like, I'm not craving sympathy or anything.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm just explaining where my head is at and it's really weird.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's weird.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, Rob, I'll tell you I use a therapy app called talk space and we had space as an advertiser on the show is so much.
[SPEAKER_03]: But and I know that when I signed up with talk space, it did give me Florida counselors because you put your address in.
[SPEAKER_03]: right it's not based on where your phone is so you could sign up today always a home and if you're not comfortable with FaceTime you can text as well with them which is the interest of entertaining our audience I'm going to change the subject to something that is
[SPEAKER_05]: A little embarrassing for me.
[SPEAKER_05]: I've mentioned it before on the show.
[SPEAKER_06]: He appears embarrassing, he's missing a call time.
[SPEAKER_05]: Now people don't know, that's fine.
[SPEAKER_05]: I think that you have two chances today, Rob.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, yeah, just to be sure, four o'clock, right?
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: OK, we go live.
[SPEAKER_06]: So how long, like, 345?
[SPEAKER_06]: I'll be there with bells on.
[SPEAKER_06]: Mike, we're saying.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's all about Rome.
[SPEAKER_05]: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
[SPEAKER_06]: Um, okay.
[SPEAKER_06]: I need to know which device might be in his brain.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's not working.
[SPEAKER_05]: Let's just deal with the fact that it will not be working for the device that was advertised by a doctor online who talked about prostate health.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, okay.
[SPEAKER_06]: I know where you're at.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_06]: My apologies for not catching on.
[SPEAKER_05]: Don't apologize.
[SPEAKER_05]: You're not allowed to apologize for the rest of the show.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: All right.
[SPEAKER_05]: There are two words as a matter of fact going forward.
[SPEAKER_05]: This might be difficult for you.
[SPEAKER_05]: Two words that I never want to hear or see my apologies.
[SPEAKER_05]: I hate my apologies.
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't like it.
[SPEAKER_05]: It doesn't make me feel as though we're doing a good show.
[SPEAKER_05]: When I hear that, the idea was that, as far as my plumbing was concerned, there it is.
[SPEAKER_05]: In order for my plumbing to work,
[SPEAKER_05]: Effectively, that would be something to do.
[SPEAKER_05]: Men of a certain age have an organ in their body that enlarges and that it can be assisted by using a device to vibrate on it.
[SPEAKER_05]: And I actually have tape of that organ.
[SPEAKER_05]: Like, okay, there it is.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, it sounds so sad.
[SPEAKER_05]: So stop it.
[SPEAKER_05]: I am planning to test the theory this weekend.
[SPEAKER_05]: If I can, I of course will have to have a yes from someone.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's not always easy to get that.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes, but I'm sure going to try and then I will give a full report.
[SPEAKER_05]: Is it not your body?
[SPEAKER_06]: Who do you when he'd reproof him?
[SPEAKER_03]: No, to do this.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, I mean, saying he's trying to see he's been using the tool.
[SPEAKER_03]: He wants to see, and who would you test that?
[SPEAKER_06]: We want to measure improvement.
[SPEAKER_06]: Do you understand what I'm talking about?
[SPEAKER_06]: I do.
[SPEAKER_06]: I thought you are looking for permission to use the device.
[SPEAKER_06]: Not to check the device.
[SPEAKER_05]: No, I've already used the device.
[SPEAKER_05]: I just said one minute ago.
[SPEAKER_03]: I did help with the device.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like is it a two person or two?
[SPEAKER_05]: No, I want to see if the
[SPEAKER_05]: uh... the work that i've been doing has resulted in better performance in cannubial relations with my bride i say and sometimes i i like to talk without saying specifics in this particular case this is now giving more information that i wanted to give joshy you understand it i think rob now understands it uh... you know and and it's just uh... will see and i have a heads up
[SPEAKER_05]: So to speak, and I will hopefully get a thumbs up.
[SPEAKER_05]: No, that's not what I want to say.
[SPEAKER_05]: Not the best part.
[SPEAKER_05]: I will get a permission to test the, God damn it.
[SPEAKER_05]: This is hard.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's hard enough.
[SPEAKER_05]: But I will say it's then you don't need to divide.
[SPEAKER_05]: I just, you have to have, you know, hair.
[SPEAKER_05]: You know, in the moods, like all that type of thing.
[SPEAKER_05]: Is it okay?
[SPEAKER_06]: Let me say this, let's say that you are a player on a baseball team, and you've been doing a lot of extra work that your coach doesn't know.
[SPEAKER_06]: And you want to come and you want to be put into the game.
[SPEAKER_06]: You want?
[SPEAKER_06]: You want to be put into the game because you've been doing all this extra work.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, go ahead.
[SPEAKER_06]: Does your coach know you've been doing this extra work?
[SPEAKER_05]: No, didn't mention it until the show.
[SPEAKER_05]: All right.
[SPEAKER_03]: Then I, because I saw it, supposed to be like a daily thing.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but I'm not doing that.
[SPEAKER_05]: I am not doing that.
[SPEAKER_03]: There's just no way.
[SPEAKER_03]: Where they say, give it a week to see some of that.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I just can't.
[SPEAKER_05]: I can't do that.
[SPEAKER_06]: Every day at 12 noon, you can't.
[SPEAKER_05]: No, it's like three times a week or something like that.
[SPEAKER_05]: I suppose to, that is an awful lot.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, but yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: No, no, no, I think we have a show.
[SPEAKER_05]: I think we have a show.
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, you can do it while the show is going on.
[SPEAKER_05]: Technically, you're really good.
[SPEAKER_06]: You might have to tighten your gate.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, maybe a little bit on the microphone.
[SPEAKER_05]: Let's be speaking of your baseball reference.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: I have been missing out on the World Baseball Classic and decided that I would go back to consume the baseball classic the way I do the NFL the morning after and the way I watch a lot of red socks games after with the highlights which are beautiful.
[SPEAKER_05]: And there is nothing in my humble opinion
[SPEAKER_05]: of baseball that is shown by Venezuela and Mexico.
[SPEAKER_05]: That was, it's Venezuela and the Dominican Republic, not Mexico.
[SPEAKER_05]: Italy and Italy played Mexico, Venezuela played the Dominican Republic.
[SPEAKER_05]: The one I want to talk about is the Dominican Republic against Venezuela.
[SPEAKER_05]: That first of all,
[SPEAKER_05]: just these talent stacked teams of Latin American players, which dominate the major leagues now a days.
[SPEAKER_05]: And it was, oh my god, the exuberance.
[SPEAKER_05]: If you thought that players show exuberance when they're playing in major league baseball, it is nothing compared to when they're playing for their home countries.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's amazing.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's the first year that Venezuela and steam has been taken over by the
[SPEAKER_05]: It was, you know, and then five minutes later, they blow up an oil tanker in the middle of the ocean.
[SPEAKER_03]: But every, every team in the world baseball class has something special about them.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, they do.
[SPEAKER_05]: They're very unique.
[SPEAKER_05]: And Italy being, what's special about Italy is the amazing upsets that Italy has gotten over Mexico and the United States.
[SPEAKER_05]: And the express of a machine in the dugout.
[SPEAKER_05]: the espresso machine in the dugout where they take a shot of coffee every time somebody hits a home.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's special.
[SPEAKER_05]: I wish it was closer.
[SPEAKER_05]: I go see it.
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, Rob, you could enjoy.
[SPEAKER_05]: You could get yourself a ticket and go to the world based on classic.
[SPEAKER_05]: Am I?
[SPEAKER_05]: Is it really is a ridiculously expensive ticket?
[SPEAKER_03]: I could find for the first round were 150 bucks.
[SPEAKER_05]: Come off for that money.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'd go see Springsteen.
[SPEAKER_05]: You know, god, god, really.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and team USA is like the it's like the dream team of baseball.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's all superstars, but then you get a team like the like the European teams are my favorite because like the check team.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[SPEAKER_03]: They go through the lineup and they they're like, yeah, I'm a carpenter.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm a school teacher.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm a sailor and it's just random people.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's a baseball because it's a baseball, but the teams that are, well, the biggest surprise, Italy, and they have a, you know what, it only got knocked out, I believe.
[SPEAKER_05]: Last two, no, Italy, oh, yeah, Italy got beat in Mexico.
[SPEAKER_05]: Did they wait hold on can you look it up look it up and find out where were you because I want to find out hold on I want to find out if the United States advanced.
[SPEAKER_05]: I think they did we play And I think Italy advanced too.
[SPEAKER_05]: I think it was Mexico.
[SPEAKER_05]: It was it was find out the Mexico
[SPEAKER_05]: Mexico Italy game.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's the one we need to know.
[SPEAKER_06]: Now forgive my ignorance.
[SPEAKER_06]: The United States are these Are these players from the MLB?
[SPEAKER_05]: These are the big shots that are playing in it or are it Be players on the United States team the dipping in a team the Venezuelan team the Mexican team It's not amateurs.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's pros.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, it's fine.
[SPEAKER_03]: Do that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: All right.
[SPEAKER_05]: All right, and all right.
[SPEAKER_05]: Go ahead.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, so it'll Italy one last night nine to one.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, they upset Mexico
[SPEAKER_03]: And now Italy moves on and it's supposed to not do a good job with time in and telling you when came.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, they're doing a horrible job, but when I go into the MLB app, it's hard to figure out.
[SPEAKER_05]: Let me explain this.
[SPEAKER_05]: This is the fragmentation.
[SPEAKER_05]: of sports on television.
[SPEAKER_05]: This is the fragmentation of sports everywhere of programming everywhere where there are so many outlets now that are trying to show things that you just don't get the updates that you need and by the way, when you have the announcers doing this, they don't give enough updates on it and I'm not watching the pregame analysis of all this.
[SPEAKER_03]: Go ahead,
[SPEAKER_03]: Korea, plays the Dominican Republic, and USA, plays Canada, winner of those two games, plays on Sunday for the semi-finals.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, so we are in the quarter finals.
[SPEAKER_03]: We're in the quarter finals.
[SPEAKER_03]: Then on the other side of the bracket on Saturday, Puerto Rico, plays Italy, and Venezuela, a place to pan.
[SPEAKER_03]: And those winners will play each other on Monday, and then Tuesday, we have the championship.
[SPEAKER_05]: So there are two brackets now.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's the.
[SPEAKER_05]: What was one of the beat brackets?
[SPEAKER_05]: Two sides.
[SPEAKER_06]: Now, I know you two love love baseball.
[SPEAKER_06]: Is it weird that each advancement is only decided by one game isn't baseball traditionally?
[SPEAKER_05]: Like a best job series.
[SPEAKER_05]: You know, the baseball classic is compacted because of the nature of the fact that it has before the MLBCs and starts.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: And it was a pool of multiple games to get into like the semifinal, the quarter five.
[SPEAKER_05]: I say, so the big story right now would be Italy.
[SPEAKER_05]: Italy is is kicking ass with this and they have a surprise.
[SPEAKER_05]: I thought if Mexico had beaten Italy last night, then the United States would have been bumped out, right?
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, wow.
[SPEAKER_03]: If they got more than five runs, then USA got in.
[SPEAKER_03]: USA should have been bumped out, simply for their coach being stupid.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yeah, didn't he?
[SPEAKER_06]: Before they did.
[SPEAKER_03]: They had sealed the deal before it all back up players.
[SPEAKER_05]: it is it is as Josh said it's tough to follow the only thing that I can tell you is the joy of the fans and when they play a game in Miami and you have so many people from Latin America that live in and around Miami.
[SPEAKER_05]: If Mexico won and gave up five or fewer runs
[SPEAKER_05]: the U.S. would be out because they base this rob because they can't go multiple series games.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[SPEAKER_05]: They are using runs scored as one of the criteria for advancement.
[SPEAKER_05]: So I think it got got dinged again by Italy and that means the U.S. is still in it.
[SPEAKER_05]: We'll try to update you.
[SPEAKER_05]: The reason I'm mentioning this is because if you get a chance to take in one of these games, especially the Latin America games,
[SPEAKER_05]: even the Japanese games.
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, it's just, uh, it's a good thing for baseball to be doing this.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's not a good thing the way they are promoting it and letting you know where it is.
[SPEAKER_05]: And all, but I think that's everything now, you know, it's tough to follow sports when you fall out.
[SPEAKER_03]: And it was also that it came right on the heels of the Olympics.
[SPEAKER_03]: So it got lost in that when it's on different channels.
[SPEAKER_03]: Mike, would you like to go to the Championship on Tuesday?
[SPEAKER_03]: It's in Miami.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh God.
[SPEAKER_03]: What are the tickets?
[SPEAKER_03]: The cheapest ticket is $378.
[SPEAKER_06]: Like may I recommend you going to the big easy casino before that and winning your money and that will pay your admission that was the big easy that's not the Hollywood one that's not the guitar That's not the one the big easy is another casino.
[SPEAKER_06]: We've got a few of them.
[SPEAKER_05]: There's highly there's there's all sorts of them all around You know when you went to was the big easy can it yes, you know, right yeah describe the big easy casino in Miami because it's not as fancy as the hard rock right
[SPEAKER_06]: no, it's not.
[SPEAKER_06]: It is prettier than anything you would see in New Orleans.
[SPEAKER_06]: There's nothing it's a relatively new facility.
[SPEAKER_06]: Then it doesn't smell like smoke.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_06]: But it is really machine driven.
[SPEAKER_06]: If you wanted to play Blackjack, they have a virtual Blackjack set with a video dealer.
[SPEAKER_06]: If you want lots.
[SPEAKER_06]: Lots of slots and probably they weren't using them all, but I would guess between 60 and 70 poker tables It's all about poker there when you come in I know I don't like that either, but the machines were great and he machine you want I mean even like they go from double diamond to the new one where the Asian chef spills the hot soup.
[SPEAKER_06]: They go the whole the whole the whole the whole drill.
[SPEAKER_05]: I made the Generate watcher on video.
[SPEAKER_05]: Do you know that machine?
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, yeah
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, they're all into that and all the influences are into that one, because it's new and shiny and it's highly volatile.
[SPEAKER_06]: And by the way, well, there's three supermots, Mike.
[SPEAKER_06]: There's yummy.
[SPEAKER_06]: There's spicy and there you play it.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes, two supermots a year ago when you went to the one in Washington, D.C. And you talked about the Elvis Presley one.
[SPEAKER_06]: It was the most, it was surreal.
[SPEAKER_06]: It was the hit was so big and so fast.
[SPEAKER_05]: I was crazy.
[SPEAKER_05]: Do you know because of that I eventually went to that same because you know when played the Elvis game and got my ass handed to me on that
[SPEAKER_06]: I feel like they had flipped a switch or turned a screw or something because it happened to so-to a point that my father said he's not a-he was not a big gambler and that was I think his first time in a casino to participate and he was watching me and you know, hit hit and then a big hit and it's playing houndog and all of this and I said that's what we're winning.
[SPEAKER_06]: He said, and those are dollars?
[SPEAKER_05]: It was fun.
[SPEAKER_05]: I remember your big hit with that.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, it brought an air conditioning system from my own.
[SPEAKER_05]: It occurs to me right now that when you're talking about slot influencers.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, it's interesting that the slot influencers usually play the most volatile games.
[SPEAKER_05]: Do you think that's an accident?
[UNKNOWN]: I don't.
[SPEAKER_06]: No, of course not.
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, I'm not promote the games that win the
[SPEAKER_06]: And also the shiny new machines because, you know what, I mean, even if I had lost the Chinese soup game, I would have still enjoyed watching it.
[SPEAKER_06]: And by the way, Mike, you've been to Casinos.
[SPEAKER_06]: Is there a different gauge of what is politically correct?
[SPEAKER_06]: when they're designed.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes, a lot of machines.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes, the Asian games, but the thing is there's a different there's a different politically correct because they get so much Asian business.
[SPEAKER_05]: They do.
[SPEAKER_05]: There's nothing like looking at the back of your head.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, thank you.
[SPEAKER_03]: You're talking behind the curtain.
[SPEAKER_03]: Hey, hey, no attention to the man back.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, he was just looking behind the racetrack.
[SPEAKER_06]: I got a I got a picture.
[SPEAKER_06]: I wanted to show you, but it's on my phone.
[SPEAKER_06]: So I need to grab my phone.
[SPEAKER_06]: But yeah, I was at one point Kathy was up like a $200 on this Asian soup machine.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I said, by the way, when did this become okay?
[SPEAKER_06]: because it's not, okay, like if you were to show it on NBC television, there would be a major issue.
[SPEAKER_05]: If there was a cartoon, an Asian cartoon based on the slot machines, but here's the thing.
[SPEAKER_05]: The Asian business that's in casinos, it covers that.
[SPEAKER_03]: There's no outlaw with that.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's what they say.
[SPEAKER_03]: They said, I just googled why, and it says, because of the deep rooted influence of the Asian culture in Los Angeles.
[SPEAKER_05]: And yeah, when you see that and any casino you will see the Asian themed games with dragons and all of that and you know you will see the the Buddha that will be there is by hold it holding steady hold it steady hold on what's going on the camera's moving of course it is
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, but there he is and every time you have a little closer, please.
[SPEAKER_06]: He puts something in one of his soup pots And then when this by sea or and yeah, and when the soup spills that's when the money changes hands.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, and if you had a you know Talks a lot too.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, he does that's the volatility Talks a lot So yeah, you know
[SPEAKER_05]: It's $350, a little out of my range for that type of thing.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's just, but it's gonna be fun.
[SPEAKER_05]: And I'm getting into it.
[SPEAKER_05]: I think that I love the pure joy, the players are playing with.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's a maze of it.
[SPEAKER_06]: Question, because you two are both baseball, aficionados, and enthusiast.
[SPEAKER_06]: And Mike, I've known you for a long time in Josh.
[SPEAKER_06]: You've made me appreciate the game more for the past two years.
[SPEAKER_06]: Is it bad for American baseball that foreign teams are apparently more excited about the sport?
[SPEAKER_03]: No, in fact, the team USA shows a lot of the same excitement.
[SPEAKER_03]: OK, no, it's different.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, OK. Yeah, people playing for their home country.
[SPEAKER_05]: And by the way, I was saying to my kid, and my kid rolled his eyes about nine times.
[SPEAKER_05]: I said, that's Greg Weissert of the Red.
[SPEAKER_05]: Why is a guy named Weissert pitching for Italy?
[SPEAKER_05]: And my son, Luke's gonna go, dad, because he's Italian.
[SPEAKER_05]: But yes, I have to do a deep research on that, but he got the big strikeout in the Italy game last night Now when the Japanese team plays, what happens when their super pot gets full in the dugout?
[SPEAKER_05]: The Japanese team, um, I don't even know, are they, are they checking along Josh?
[SPEAKER_05]: Are they in the hunt for this thing right now?
[SPEAKER_03]: Because I know I'd be.
[SPEAKER_03]: I just, I'd believe I did.
[SPEAKER_03]: You gave us the, you gave the list to be played.
[SPEAKER_03]: To be played in Venezuela.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, yeah, what's your oh, yeah for what are you referencing?
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, yeah Well, you were talking about that the South American countries have great enthusiasm and I know that the Japanese sort of mindset is to expect the best from all employees and what is a baseball team But an employee of all of Japan So they're going to want to make it best.
[SPEAKER_06]: What?
[SPEAKER_03]: Who is the star of team Japan?
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, his name is, was it Kuhi Sakamoto?
[SPEAKER_06]: Is he still playing?
[SPEAKER_03]: Kuhi Sakamoto.
[SPEAKER_03]: He had a hit record in 1965.
[SPEAKER_03]: The biggest name in baseball is on Team Japan.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, the guy from the, from the, from Japan.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, well he plays for the Dodgers though.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes, is it Ocari, Ocari?
[SPEAKER_06]: Ocari, it's Sheri Ocari, it's Sheri Ocari.
[SPEAKER_05]: You know that, you know, the, no, it's Shohe Otani.

[SPEAKER_05]: Let's get right to it like this is a bit what did you say tidbits.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, yeah, this is called Tidbit.
[SPEAKER_05]: No, no, we're not calling it tidbits anymore.
[SPEAKER_05]: We're not not tidbits.
[SPEAKER_05]: Please God not tidbits.
[SPEAKER_05]: We start today with a survey.
[SPEAKER_05]: Let me ask both of you guys.
[SPEAKER_05]: All right.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's the last time and I'm talking about a new movie Rob.
[SPEAKER_05]: Not one of your RC things that you go to because all right
[SPEAKER_05]: I would like to ask when's the last time you were in a theater to see a recently made film?
[SPEAKER_06]: So I guess the Elvis movie doesn't count because that's sort of a modified release.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's still counts because that's a big name in theaters now.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, so yeah, I've seen that.
[SPEAKER_06]: I've been to the AMC down here.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's about you, Mr. Soroka.
[SPEAKER_03]: I saw the kids movie go like a month ago.
[SPEAKER_05]: a month ago, according to a survey last summer, a little more than half of us said we'd been to a movie theater in the past year, 53% to be exact.
[SPEAKER_05]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_05]: Age seems to be a factor in the movie going experience 67% of younger adults aged 18 to 29 say that they've been versus 39% of those who are over 65 years of age.
[SPEAKER_05]: Sometimes when I read a story, I know that statistics, I go, is I, when you, when you just like for a moment think of your age, you don't think of yourself as 65 right away, do you?
[SPEAKER_05]: When I see it in print, no, it's not that I don't think of myself as over 65, what I do is I come, you talked about compartmentalization.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I put it in the back of my head, but when it comes to the forefront, I always, when you have been used to being 65 and under,
[SPEAKER_05]: It's just a weird.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's a big one.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's the 65's of it.
[SPEAKER_06]: Now when you talk about the kids going Wood, your son would he ever say That looks like a good movie.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes, I want to see it on the big screen.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, he wants to wait for it.
[SPEAKER_05]: No, he wants to go to the Super Mario Brothers mode.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, because Robert is all about it, when Robert sees a movie that like he loves his anime and certain stuff like that and he'll go and see it two or three times because he says dad, it's better on the big screen.
[SPEAKER_03]: And they cater to the younger audience, but they don't do with our kids, it's not about being on the big screen.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's about seeing it while it's hot, while it's the trend.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, and that's what did my community have when it opens up.
[SPEAKER_05]: And that's why I suggested to go with his mom, because I'm very sick.
[SPEAKER_03]: That'll be nice.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_05]: Domestic ticket sales have been having a slow and steady recovery ever since 2020.
[SPEAKER_05]: Over $9 billion worth of tickets were sold last year compared to the 14 to 16 billion during the 2000s and the 2010s.
[SPEAKER_05]: So that's it's coming back.
[SPEAKER_05]: I guess a little bit, right?
[SPEAKER_06]: But it also, well, it seems to me that it's modified on its return.
[SPEAKER_06]: That these are more tent pole productions.
[SPEAKER_06]: These are the big movies that are getting dropped in theaters.
[SPEAKER_06]: Because you're seeing movie theater quality stuff on Netflix and Hulu and all the streamers.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I mean,
[SPEAKER_05]: 55 or 65 it's easier to stay home and watch a movie but they're not making movies for older people they're not making movies for that don't cater to the young audience and the audience is the Marvel universe in super heroes in anime film and horror I just would love the
[SPEAKER_05]: I really fear that the days of like the Godfather and movies like that in Shawshank Redemption you know that we're not you know those were movies that well I think Shawshank was maybe not a box office smash that was like TBS or something got it popular.
[SPEAKER_06]: And also I don't know that those movies actually catered to adults, they just catered to being better movies.
[SPEAKER_05]: The one I want to watch on the small screen is that would probably be good on the big screen too, is the new Dracula movie with that weird guy.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, that's how he described the acted the weird guy, but I have no idea the reviews that that got but I know Mike you'll never be happy until they put movies like known as About the Italian grandmother's opening arrest right you want to see known as on the big screen That's great.
[SPEAKER_05]: I try to get it's terrible terrible terrible.
[SPEAKER_05]: Absolutely terrible
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, so movie.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, hey, all right.
[SPEAKER_05]: Let me turn that off and turn that on there.
[SPEAKER_05]: Now I have at least gentlemen.
[SPEAKER_05]: There it is.
[SPEAKER_05]: Michael Jackson's family gathered in LA for a screening of the new biopic speaking of movies, Michael and it sounds like everybody loved it.
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, everybody except one of them.
[SPEAKER_05]: And because of that, a huge argument broke out after the movie was over Janet.
[SPEAKER_05]: started griping about everything.
[SPEAKER_05]: A story says, quote, she had something negative about almost every scene, the acting, the makeup, how the actors spoke, even how they walked.
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, that didn't sit well with Jermaine, whose son Jafar plays Michael in the movie.
[SPEAKER_05]: I didn't know that.
[SPEAKER_05]: They started arguing if this sounds to me like it's manufactured though.
[SPEAKER_03]: Because they were showing with the actors there.
[SPEAKER_06]: For the family.
[SPEAKER_06]: He is family.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's a very complicated thing, Jafar, Mike, Jafar Jackson.
[SPEAKER_05]: Jafar Jackson, they started arguing, Germaine and Janet, and Germaine reportedly told her, quote, you were going to miss this wave.
[SPEAKER_05]: You are so jealous.
[SPEAKER_05]: Just get on the wave.
[SPEAKER_06]: Michael hits the hitters next month on April 24 says he came up the public's office although the one thing I give it is that of all the jackson's Janet is the only one that was recently kind of happening oh maybe she's just yeah maybe she's being honest about the movie I don't know and I always thought the movie I've been seeing a lot of trails I thought Michael was about you
[SPEAKER_05]: Do we have the trailer, Josh, if you can find the trailer for Michael, the Michael Jackson movie, I would be very curious.
[SPEAKER_05]: I just want to see what who's son is it, Chaffar.
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't know who's on your main son is.
[SPEAKER_05]: Might be your main son.
[SPEAKER_05]: I want to see what he looks like.
[SPEAKER_05]: You know, we've lost Tito.
[SPEAKER_05]: Did we really lose Tito?
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes, sorry to report.
[SPEAKER_06]: Are you lying or did we not we lost Tito?
[SPEAKER_06]: No, yes, when did we lose Tito?
[SPEAKER_06]: Sometime ago.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh my god.
[SPEAKER_06]: I completely forgot that we did.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'll get you a date.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, really.
[SPEAKER_03]: We lost Tito.
[SPEAKER_03]: 15th 2024.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, my God.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, we probably reported on it when it happened, but do we have the trailer for Michael?
[SPEAKER_05]: Because I really want to see what it is before I was just convert.
[SPEAKER_06]: I think from the trailer, which I have seen bits of the most impressive aspect of the trailer is the guy playing Joe Jackson, the father.
[SPEAKER_06]: Because, you know, he's going to be more than likely painted as a villain in this, because he always says, but he seems to be really good.
[SPEAKER_06]: I, but anytime you get someone to play someone like Michael Jackson, it's not an easy task because that's why Michael Jackson was as famous as he was because he's one of a kind, and I don't know if this is going to be able to be pulled off or not.
[SPEAKER_06]: We shall see.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I don't think that's a fair argument because in a movie you can make the takes over and over and over again until you get it the way Michael did it.
[SPEAKER_05]: Here's the thing about the biopic, so the longer a person has been dead, the more credible the biopic.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's why Gary Busy was so good as a buddy Holly.
[SPEAKER_13]: Hey, it's Gary Busy.
[SPEAKER_05]: This is it.
[SPEAKER_06]: wasn't that before his incident though.
[SPEAKER_06]: Wasn't the body of the story on a motorcycle?
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I was going to try to keep it sort of time.
[SPEAKER_06]: But I think it was before the incident.
[SPEAKER_06]: And that's the performance.
[SPEAKER_03]: Here it is, Michael.
[SPEAKER_03]: Hi.
[SPEAKER_09]: Oh, that's a very CGI audience.
[SPEAKER_09]: You're a company.
[SPEAKER_09]: You're beautiful, there's a creed as of all time on your phone.
[SPEAKER_08]: Let me tell you something, in this life.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, that's good.
[SPEAKER_08]: I like that guy.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, I want to work in a steel mill like me for rest of your days.
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, because I sure has helped out.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, I'm willing to fight for it.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yes, sir.
[SPEAKER_08]: I need to hear you a little louder.
[SPEAKER_08]: Y'all willing to fight for it.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yes, sir.
[SPEAKER_03]: Ready whenever you are, Michael.
[SPEAKER_09]: Do you know what I'm after?
[SPEAKER_07]: You want to be a bigger story than what?
[SPEAKER_07]: We need to capitalize on Michael's success.
[SPEAKER_07]: Because a Jackson fan is the brand.
[SPEAKER_07]: That's a cop called.
[SPEAKER_07]: And we need to start selling.
[SPEAKER_08]: So I'm planning an international tool.
[SPEAKER_08]: This is just the beginning.
[SPEAKER_09]: I need to think.
[SPEAKER_08]: I told you what to think.
[SPEAKER_09]: I love my family, but I just want to do my own thing.
[SPEAKER_09]: She's having all these ideas in my head.
[SPEAKER_09]: She's got to get them out.
[SPEAKER_09]: And do it, Michael.
[SPEAKER_00]: Not a little boy anymore.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm being quiet because I'm all in.
[SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, very special.
[SPEAKER_09]: I am all in.
[SPEAKER_09]: I believe music could change the world.
[SPEAKER_09]: Spread love, joy, and peace.
[SPEAKER_09]: That is what I want the world to feel.
[SPEAKER_09]: Magic.
[SPEAKER_05]: Now, I assume since this is a Jackson family section, uh, movie, the only negativity will be around the dad.
[SPEAKER_05]: Is that about right?
[SPEAKER_05]: They're not going to probably deal with it.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's the feeling I get.
[SPEAKER_06]: And also, I think what is going to really determine the watchability of this is it going to be a jukebox musical, which will make it very lightweight with all the records.
[SPEAKER_06]: They're great songs.
[SPEAKER_06]: Or is it going to be about the struggle within the family which they seem to tease in the trailer and that's what I want these family.
[SPEAKER_05]: You know, as far as not dealing with the pedophile in the room?
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: I think that's it.
[SPEAKER_05]: will have to wait and see.
[SPEAKER_05]: Excuse me.
[SPEAKER_05]: Sorry about that.
[SPEAKER_06]: You know what I heard about Michael Jackson from two sources now and I find it fascinating.
[SPEAKER_06]: He's that when he talked like this, when he was on camera, that was an affectation.
[SPEAKER_06]: And when like when he was doing business with people, he was like, well, we got to do this.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: And so to think about that, if they attack something like that, well, then it's on the truth, Rob, you're your voice is an
[SPEAKER_05]: It is.
[SPEAKER_05]: Give them what you really sound like when you're off camera.
[SPEAKER_05]: Please.
[SPEAKER_05]: All right.
[SPEAKER_06]: Let's just do the Miami lady.
[SPEAKER_06]: I did you want to kill me?
[SPEAKER_06]: Who's going to paint that?
[SPEAKER_04]: Hey, this guy, if you shut up, this is this.
[SPEAKER_15]: Oh, honk.
[UNKNOWN]: Oh, honk.
[SPEAKER_04]: It is attractive.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, I wonder what Kelly Clarkson thinks of the movie.
[SPEAKER_05]: Speaking of Kelly Clarkson.
[SPEAKER_05]: They say right how beautiful she is undeniably.
[SPEAKER_05]: One of the most successful contestants to ever win American Idol, but she says she never
[SPEAKER_05]: receive the prizes.
[SPEAKER_05]: She was promised on season one, Kelly shared this during a conversation with traders winner Rob Rauch who still hasn't been paid his winnings and Daniel Radcliffe.
[SPEAKER_05]: She said quote, I literally was on the show and they were like, oh, you win a million dollars or whatever, no you didn't.
[SPEAKER_05]: It was like a million dollars worth of investment in you.
[SPEAKER_05]: that's kind of not a million dollars, but they're promoting her and you know, worked out for it.
[SPEAKER_05]: I was like, yeah, uh, then they said, uh, you get a car and I needed it because my car was bashed in.
[SPEAKER_05]: I couldn't afford the deductible.
[SPEAKER_05]: I did not get a car and then Clay Aiken, who didn't win the second season, got a car and his mom got a car.
[SPEAKER_05]: So she's pitching a little bit.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but yeah, she's now worth $60 million.
[SPEAKER_03]: I know.
[SPEAKER_03]: So I think it's okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, but she's on cry and poor mouth on that that's the way and meanwhile Justin Gurini's still blowing on his soup
[SPEAKER_05]: Just a while, Remy.
[SPEAKER_05]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_05]: Thanks so much for remembering.
[SPEAKER_05]: Buffalo Wild Wings.
[SPEAKER_05]: They who haven't hated Hayden.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, I like it.
[SPEAKER_03]: How about, but, of course, it's perfectly, because it's perfectly, you know what, it's because if I want to go watch a baseball game or football game, all the other bars, they don't cater to that.
[SPEAKER_03]: That one at least caters.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's you have to either go to a mom and pop that's for your team.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, but as far as the wings themselves, uh, Buffalo wild wings or wings stop wings are here.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, God.
[SPEAKER_06]: I might just take this.
[SPEAKER_06]: I might just take the cyanide on that one.
[SPEAKER_06]: No, I'm so spoiled with like Jimmy's wings.
[SPEAKER_06]: They're the best and you can't go to a place that's a McDonald's for wings.
[SPEAKER_05]: I agree.
[SPEAKER_05]: Wings need to be made in a mom and pop.
[SPEAKER_05]: I agree.
[SPEAKER_05]: Like Buffalo chips that down here for Jimmy's old town tavern up there.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I agree to let me tell you about wild wings.
[SPEAKER_05]: They have announced a new alcoholic drink.
[SPEAKER_05]: It is in a espresso martini fortified with 10 grams of protein So you can get drunk and drink your protein too.
[SPEAKER_05]: They are actually calling it and espresso Proteini Okay, that's funny.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's funny.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'll never have it, but that's funny.
[SPEAKER_05]: It is infused with their signature Buffalo dry rub Oh, you know, they used to call me Buffalo dry rub
[SPEAKER_05]: The glass is also rimmed with the dry rub.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, we were talking about that earlier.
[SPEAKER_05]: You can order it on its own for $12 or...
[SPEAKER_05]: In a $20 bundle with six boneless wings, they say the drink is unexpectedly delicious and satisfying.
[SPEAKER_05]: Do they explain how they get the protein into it?
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm not, oh, that's wrong.
[SPEAKER_05]: There we go.
[SPEAKER_05]: He's back though, Josh.
[SPEAKER_05]: That to me signifies he's completely, he's right now.
[SPEAKER_05]: He is wide away.
[SPEAKER_05]: A new study has found that psychedelics
[SPEAKER_05]: Like magic mushrooms can help people quit smoking.
[SPEAKER_05]: Some may argue that nicotine is actually a harder drug than psilocybin, but cigarettes are way more mainstream than magic mushrooms.
[SPEAKER_05]: The trial was done at Johns Hopkins University, and it compared people who experimented with magic mushrooms to those who tried nicotine patches.
[SPEAKER_05]: People who had taken just one dose of psilocybin had more than six times greater odds
[SPEAKER_05]: of quitting cigarettes than the others who relied on the nicotine substitute.
[SPEAKER_06]: This is why the thing is nothing else, when they, when you take the mushrooms, Mike, you're scared that the cigarettes are going to eat you.
[SPEAKER_05]: So you want them out of the house.
[SPEAKER_05]: Now, they didn't just hit random smokers up with mushrooms.
[SPEAKER_05]: This was all done in a controlled environment under observation, speaking of drugs, replacing drugs, a recent study out of Brown University, found that in hailing cannabis, reduced short-term alcohol consumption, and delayed drinking among heavy drinkers in a lab, setting where I'm your walking talking evidence of the fact.
[SPEAKER_05]: True.
[SPEAKER_05]: That it replaces it and helps keep you off the booze,
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, and a lot of people don't know this brown university is based in Vienna, Virginia.
[SPEAKER_05]: Rob has always said the end of Virginia the suburb of Washington is all brown bill.
[SPEAKER_06]: It is brown.
[SPEAKER_05]: It is entirely brown.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's an Ivy League school to let's move on.
[SPEAKER_05]: Finally today a 42 year old man.
[SPEAKER_05]: His name, Aiden Smith.
[SPEAKER_05]: He was arrested a couple of weeks ago, just after leaving a Walmart.
[SPEAKER_05]: He had 27 tax of baseball cards, hidden in his clothing.
[SPEAKER_05]: And apparently he didn't pay for them.
[SPEAKER_05]: Aiden wasn't just a baseball fan.
[SPEAKER_05]: He is the head priest and dean of Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in downtown Pittsburgh.
[SPEAKER_05]: And it wasn't just a one-time sin.
[SPEAKER_05]: Walmart says that he had been inside that store five straight days.
[SPEAKER_05]: and he was caught by their security cameras stealing baseball cards all five of them.
[SPEAKER_05]: The stolen cards are valued at $1,100.
[SPEAKER_05]: The Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh said they are investigating the situation.
[SPEAKER_05]: One church official said I have spoken with Hayden.
[SPEAKER_05]: and assured him of our prayers for him in this difficult time.
[SPEAKER_05]: Maybe the Episcopal is doing it just like the Catholics.
[SPEAKER_05]: We're going to dump the rum.
[SPEAKER_05]: Sure.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's unclear what a priest would be doing with baseball cards.
[SPEAKER_05]: Maybe he was an avid collector.
[SPEAKER_05]: Compare that to what most priests do.
[SPEAKER_05]: And you got arrested for nothing.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: Come on now.
[SPEAKER_05]: And you really can't up with the priest.
[SPEAKER_06]: Who'd be fair, he was taking the gum out of the packs and turning it into the body of Christ.
[SPEAKER_05]: body of Christ.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes, sir.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes, uh, priest, not pre and now that gives me my new slogan, priest, they're not just pedophiles anymore.

[SPEAKER_06]: Home owners, association, the key phrase from today's tapes will be, do not shout!
[SPEAKER_05]: can't wait.
[SPEAKER_05]: All right.
[SPEAKER_05]: So yesterday we found out that the blood pressure for Mr. Josh Soroka was really a little scary.
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't know enough about those numbers, but it seemed like you were a little higher than you think.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I think it's supposed to be like one-thirdy and I was like one-fifty, nine.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's 120 over 80s the target 120.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I was and I was averaging like 155 over 105.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's a way out of those numbers.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I think they were saying like a stroke is like 175 or 180.
[SPEAKER_03]: So I just need to try harder.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, so not quite there, but moving up in that direction.
[SPEAKER_03]: So I had a
[SPEAKER_03]: So I had a yesterday, I had an appointment with my, well, based on Monday's show, I took a screenshot of my blood pressure log and I sent it to my doctor and he quickly responded with, let's meet tomorrow.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, my God.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, well, well, hold on.
[SPEAKER_05]: So this was last week that you did that.
[SPEAKER_05]: No, no, two days ago, Monday.
[SPEAKER_05]: Two days ago, you showed him your blood pressure thing.
[SPEAKER_03]: My dad sent him my log of my blood pressure.
[SPEAKER_03]: And his secretary, nurse, weeched out right away saying, hey, he wants to meet with you tomorrow.
[SPEAKER_03]: Can you do this?
[SPEAKER_03]: Why?
[SPEAKER_03]: Can you do this virtual appointment?
[SPEAKER_03]: So it was just a virtual appointment yesterday afternoon.
[SPEAKER_03]: And he said, yeah, those numbers are way too high.
[SPEAKER_03]: And we need to do something with it.
[SPEAKER_06]: When I call my doctor I'm lucky and I'm buddies with my doctor if I can get into see him in three months when he wanted to see you within 24 hours.
[SPEAKER_06]: How did you feel about that?
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, it concerned, but I also was starting to be concerned myself because I, all weekend all I did was lay down watch TV and play video games by myself.
[SPEAKER_03]: I didn't know them, but were you chill?
[SPEAKER_03]: You completely chill.
[SPEAKER_05]: I completely chilled and you have a car that drives itself now.
[SPEAKER_03]: So you don't have that stress when you're on the road in the blood, so in the blood pressure didn't change.
[SPEAKER_03]: So I was glad to meet with him.
[SPEAKER_03]: He told me he said I need to reduce the stress in my life Which there's not well will miss you Josh All right, yeah, well, we'll be back home soon Yeah, and then he said Seriously aren't you doing extra work now that Rob's been down in Miami a little bit, but it's okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's fine.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's not adding stress I don't want to kill him.
[SPEAKER_03]: I got a nice prescription here now of blood pressure medicine
[SPEAKER_03]: That sounds good.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, that's made out of the shells of beetles.
[SPEAKER_03]: But I don't know what you guys said that.
[SPEAKER_03]: You just put them in a spice grinder and go to town.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a calcium channel blocker.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, all right, so don't try to see.
[SPEAKER_05]: You don't want to take it with milk.
[SPEAKER_05]: I guess.
[SPEAKER_05]: For a Joshua would say milk.
[SPEAKER_05]: Milk.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_05]: Hey, ski lady, Josh, we've been talking about it.
[SPEAKER_05]: If I were if you've been, he's driving around one of them Tesla's with the self driving I thought we'd get a day without talking about it.
[SPEAKER_03]: OK, yeah, that's fine.
[SPEAKER_03]: That was fine.
[SPEAKER_03]: But so I told you going in, my blood work is always perfect.
[SPEAKER_03]: They always say, I'm perfect.
[SPEAKER_03]: Everything's perfect.
[SPEAKER_03]: This time it wasn't.
[SPEAKER_03]: He said, now he did tell me that I shouldn't worry about the high cholesterol, that that's okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: I wasn't that high.
[SPEAKER_03]: It was a good cholesterol.
[SPEAKER_03]: What was your cholesterol?
[SPEAKER_03]: Do you have your number?
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't have the numbers in front of me.
[SPEAKER_03]: I said that's not one.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's millions.
[SPEAKER_03]: He said, just focus on the blood pressure, but here's the here's something I have never been told in my life.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, this entire conversation is stuff I've never been told.
[SPEAKER_03]: The one that floored me is that I should lose 10 to 15 pounds.
[SPEAKER_03]: You are so skinny though.
[SPEAKER_03]: Never been told the lose weight.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, that's God.
[SPEAKER_03]: That is.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_03]: He said if I lose 10 to 15 pounds that I will that I will it'll make a huge difference in my blood pressure because I am technically overweight.
[SPEAKER_06]: And then you'll be starring in the film, praying mantis.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, these new charts.
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, there have been times that I have lost 100 pounds literally lost 100 pounds.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I go into the doctor and he says, you know,
[SPEAKER_06]: 20 pounds more would really help you and there's like no recognition of the fact that you're going against the way your body is.
[SPEAKER_05]: If you go and think about yet now look in fairness you have to be aware of 100 pounds is fine but you're still you and I are still
[SPEAKER_05]: ridiculously out of shape and that is very far.
[SPEAKER_05]: I am now currently 25 pounds above my goal weight and I've been there since I lost 75 to 80 pounds.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I'd like to get there and but the last 20 to 25 for me would be transformative and it's just getting this even with
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, that's it for you.
[SPEAKER_03]: I put on 40 pounds since the cruise you have that's a lie.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, what are you?
[SPEAKER_03]: What are you?
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, you are.
[SPEAKER_03]: I am six foot four.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[SPEAKER_03]: I am 215 pounds.
[SPEAKER_03]: And he wants to be he wants to be around.
[SPEAKER_03]: He wants me to be just under 200.
[SPEAKER_03]: Just under 200.
[SPEAKER_03]: Around 200.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'd get a new doctor.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, if it fixes the blood pressure, but it's the first time I've ever been told.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, have you ever been told by a doctor to like put on weight because you're thin, man.
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, he's being told because of his blood pressure to lose weight.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, but he got his history.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm going to respect the last person that should be dulling out health advice as you.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm not going out any health advice, I just want to say get a new doctor, I mean, it sounds to me like they're just trying to say this will assist you because as within as he is that blood pressure, being through the roof, I'm really glad that he did give you a prescription because there are lots of medications that can help you with that, right?
[SPEAKER_06]: Did he address anything with caffeine?
[SPEAKER_03]: uh good question no no well he asked if I was overly caffeinated and I told him no in fact I haven't had a red ball since last Friday you drink coffee no I don't drink coffee I drink coffee I drink coffee all right all I've been drinking is liquid IV and these Kirkland sparkling waters
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, how are the Kirkland sparkling water.
[SPEAKER_05]: They're great.
[SPEAKER_05]: They're very good.
[SPEAKER_05]: What are they?
[SPEAKER_05]: Do they have sodium in them?
[SPEAKER_03]: No Okay, no, so I actually vacationed for free sodium free sweetener free.
[SPEAKER_06]: All right.
[SPEAKER_06]: I vacationed there I took a week at Kirkland sparkling waters.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's a beautiful resort.
[SPEAKER_06]: Great.
[SPEAKER_05]: You must go.
[SPEAKER_05]: It is a great spot
[SPEAKER_05]: the soap, have a nice soap.
[SPEAKER_05]: Enjoy yourself with a very, very nice soap.
[SPEAKER_05]: So to me, you've checked all the boxes.
[SPEAKER_05]: The weight is something that you've never been told before.
[SPEAKER_05]: But the medication, so why would it be as high as it is?
[SPEAKER_05]: You're just predisposed to a genetically your father or mother have it?
[SPEAKER_03]: I think my mom does, I believe, so yeah, he says it's biped predisposed, but I don't want to be on the medicine forever.
[SPEAKER_06]: So that's where the lose weight option came up because your does your brother, does your brother fight it at all?
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't know, I haven't because I know he wouldn't hate for pills.
[SPEAKER_03]: I know that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I don't want to tell him I'm not perfect.
[SPEAKER_05]: Good luck.
[SPEAKER_05]: I hope you do well.
[SPEAKER_05]: I really do.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm I'm pulling for you.
[SPEAKER_05]: God Almighty.
[SPEAKER_05]: We don't need any more problems on this show.
[SPEAKER_05]: We really don't.
[SPEAKER_05]: I just wanted God on the one that's supposed to be failing.
[SPEAKER_05]: And I'm shoving things up my butt.

[SPEAKER_05]: Just gotta tell the truth.
[SPEAKER_05]: I hear you.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, we will be back and I will give you a little update on style.
[SPEAKER_05]: I know you won't not think of it down here, but I'll do that when we come back.

[SPEAKER_05]: Great.
[SPEAKER_05]: And rip it.
[SPEAKER_05]: We'll have some new ones for you soon.
[SPEAKER_05]: Don't worry, people.
[SPEAKER_05]: I have to say that when you do, and I hate to obsess about it, the fact that I'm older and I'm down here in Florida, but you do tend to live in a bubble when you're down in Florida.
[SPEAKER_05]: You really do.
[SPEAKER_05]: You tend to be around people that are, you know, not.
[SPEAKER_05]: totally in the game anymore and I get that.
[SPEAKER_05]: So when this came across my feed, I still get curious like perhaps I'm driving into work in the big city and slam the dragon.
[SPEAKER_05]: When I see a style of guy come across my feed and he gives pointers.
[SPEAKER_05]: There are two guys I've been watching.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'll try to get a clip from him tomorrow or next week on the show where there's a guy that is a men's
[SPEAKER_05]: He shares the average look you're supposed to have when you're dressing up and it's pretty standard stuff like fat guys wear pins, stripes, all that kind of crap.
[SPEAKER_05]: But then there's this other guy that comes on and he gave a little talk on what men should wear and it was interesting because he said men should have a uniform.
[SPEAKER_05]: And every guy should have a uniform.
[SPEAKER_05]: And he brought up the fact that was he German.
[SPEAKER_05]: No, no, no, not that kind of uniform.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: When he was talking about it, he indicated that that if you have a uniform, it's better for your branding.
[SPEAKER_05]: And if you think of people like Elon Musk, always kind of looks the same.
[SPEAKER_05]: always has that same kind of look.
[SPEAKER_05]: If you think of people like Steve Jobs when he was alive, had that kind of look that he always had.
[SPEAKER_05]: Donald Trump would be another example where he's got that suit with the dark suit.
[SPEAKER_05]: But that's his uniform.
[SPEAKER_05]: Right.
[SPEAKER_05]: It kind of made sense.
[SPEAKER_05]: But when I was really thinking about it, I said, well, that's kind of tough in Florida because the
[SPEAKER_05]: is kind of based around climate too and when you see people but then I thought about one of the successful dads that I see that's down here and he's always around his kids and I admire him because he's got a kind of an encyclopedic knowledge of little league and the sports and he's got kids from all the way from high school all the way down through Michael's great and I admire his intellect
[SPEAKER_05]: He wears the, it's a Florida uniform, but it's always very, very consistent.
[SPEAKER_05]: Always a dark t-shirt, always some very basic khaki shorts that he has.
[SPEAKER_05]: And you can do it down here.
[SPEAKER_05]: But the idea of the uniform has always been something that I thought was cool for two reasons.
[SPEAKER_05]: Because you can always look put together if you get the right uniform.
[SPEAKER_05]: And I would imagine that it would be very easy to exist in the work environment if you have that.
[SPEAKER_05]: Now, we, in our business,
[SPEAKER_05]: the rules don't apply.
[SPEAKER_05]: We are in an environment where you do uniforms.
[SPEAKER_03]: You don't know.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think that the idea if we just all dress in the same uniform every day, you would rather have similar uniforms.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: I think you two guys have similar uniforms.
[SPEAKER_05]: You have desserts with stuff on them.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: And in the winter, though, I will go to a hoodie.
[SPEAKER_06]: Love me a hoodie.
[SPEAKER_06]: But yeah, but you're right.
[SPEAKER_06]: We do have uniform.
[SPEAKER_06]: And
[SPEAKER_06]: A uniform can be good if it's generic, but what I don't like is when a uniform is like really specific, almost like a look at me uniform, say for example, branding.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's the branding part.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, say for example, you worked with some of the worry, football jersey to work every day.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's a uniform that I don't think really does any good, does it?
[SPEAKER_05]: No, and that probably doesn't count.
[SPEAKER_05]: I think, you know, when you're doing, although that is kind of a consistent look.
[SPEAKER_03]: It is.
[SPEAKER_05]: Some people.
[SPEAKER_03]: Sure.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's like John Daley and his pants.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's he's known for.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's a uniform.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: If you're known for your clothing.
[SPEAKER_06]: And tiger, of course, is red shirt and black pants on.
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, that wouldn't be, that's Nike paying him.
[SPEAKER_05]: I have two uniforms.
[SPEAKER_05]: I have, I have non-golf uniforms, and I have golf uniforms.
[SPEAKER_05]: My non-golf, and this is not saying that we are wearing uniforms.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's what we wear.
[SPEAKER_05]: So I will give you my standard uniform is a nice golf shirt, like we're even though I'm not playing golf today.
[SPEAKER_05]: I, uh, I wear that with some golf shorts almost exclusively, I'll give them a plug because by the way, I'm thinking about starting my own golf shop and I'm excited about that and more to come on that.
[SPEAKER_05]: Uh, but I wear the Greg Norman,
[SPEAKER_05]: store because we got an outlet down here where they have great prices.
[SPEAKER_05]: I wear the shorts, the golf shorts.
[SPEAKER_05]: And then on the non show days, I will that'll be pretty much what I hang out in.
[SPEAKER_05]: If I am not going to the golf course, it is usually a synthetic, non cotton t-shirt.
[SPEAKER_05]: with occasionally I will have a little league type logo on it, but really it's the synthetic kind, not cotton I don't wear.
[SPEAKER_05]: And once again, the same golf shorts that I wear.
[SPEAKER_05]: Now, the footwear varies dramatically.
[SPEAKER_05]: I can, but it is a series of brand name shoes, either adidas or hookah.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's my uniform.
[SPEAKER_05]: Now, Josh, what?
[SPEAKER_05]: Do you have a standard uniform that you wear every day?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, my standard hanging around the house, going and running errands.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's just a t-shirt and a pair of Fabletics shorts.
[SPEAKER_05]: Fabletics?
[SPEAKER_05]: Like Jim shorts.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: So if you were to lift up your t-shirt, would they have the the waistband, would there be a belt or belt loops?
[SPEAKER_03]: No, no, it'd be like a string.
[SPEAKER_10]: Ah, okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, it's not that very important.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a form.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's not a form.
[SPEAKER_06]: And you put extra jibbits in your crocks when you go to a nice viewing right now.
[SPEAKER_06]: I've got a parent.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think they're nice.
[SPEAKER_05]: I put it is jibbit the the little like figuring that you put it in the holes.
[SPEAKER_05]: I never knew that had a name.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's called a jibbit.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, what happened.
[SPEAKER_05]: What happened, Mr. O'Maro.
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, I was sitting in a field and I think I got jibbits.
[SPEAKER_03]: I went with the Florida uniform of hey dudes everywhere and then got tired that everyone had hey dudes.
[SPEAKER_03]: And you want to take out a little bit and get the crocks?
[SPEAKER_03]: Why are you asking me a show?
[SPEAKER_03]: I believe she's male and one of those out.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, it's great that the door opened and dogs, what?

[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, now I'm not going to everything over.
[SPEAKER_05]: All right, Rob, speedwack to you, uniform.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's kind of crazy because you know we do the show every day and you really only see me from the chest up So it is usually a t-shirt with a pattern or today's a plain one But it usually has like some sort of a a stupid logo or image on it For pan you say pattern
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't think so, did I?
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, t-shirt with a pattern or an applique or something on it?
[SPEAKER_06]: You know, like a little bit of a print.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, a print or a little bit.
[SPEAKER_05]: Like the Marks Brothers.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, or yesterday I wore one that had a 45-adapter on it.
[SPEAKER_06]: I've got plenty of them.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_06]: So for pants, I wear knickers, I wear buckled shoes, and usually do you still wear cargo pants every day?
[SPEAKER_05]: You wear cargo shorts cargo shorts.
[SPEAKER_05]: Do you buy?
[SPEAKER_05]: Have you had the same for a long time?
[SPEAKER_06]: No.
[SPEAKER_05]: Can you still buy them?
[SPEAKER_05]: Can you still purchase them?
[SPEAKER_05]: The best places also.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I might get myself if I see a color I like.
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, Mike, I know they're all khaki, but are they're not a million colors called khaki.
[SPEAKER_05]: Have you ever thought of a chain?
[SPEAKER_05]: Now that you're a Floridian.
[SPEAKER_05]: of changing your shorts look and maybe going with a more of a, I don't want to say form fitting, but more of a sleek look on your shorts where they don't have the giant parachute pockets.
[SPEAKER_05]: No, I love the pockets.
[SPEAKER_05]: I love the pockets.
[SPEAKER_06]: What do you put in the pockets?
[SPEAKER_06]: Uh, usually donuts.
[SPEAKER_06]: No.
[SPEAKER_06]: If I go out, like one of, you've got your two primary pockets that don't like zip shut or have velcro on them, but that will be like for my wallet.
[SPEAKER_06]: But for the smaller pockets up front, you can put your phone, you put your keys, you don't really need to take your keys out anymore because the fob drives the cars, you put your keys in there.
[SPEAKER_06]: If you have a charger for your phone, you can put it in there.
[SPEAKER_06]: I like the pockets.
[SPEAKER_06]: You need those pockets and how about your footwear when you're out and about you know I love my broken stocks, but one of the greatest regrets I've had of my life is I did not pack them for this trip So I have been wearing You know, well, I actually want to learn hard hard shoes hard leather buckled shoes That what have you been wearing with your shorts?
[SPEAKER_06]: I have been wearing the traditional 1980s black and white checked slip on sneakers.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, that's the brand without socks.
[SPEAKER_05]: No socks.
[SPEAKER_05]: Do you you don't wear socks a lot, right?
[SPEAKER_06]: No, actually, you know, my given all things equal, I would love to go barefoot everywhere in my life.
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't like shoes very much.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm close to you today.
[SPEAKER_05]: I have to say in my uniform, I will, if I'm going out of the house, I will slip on a sneaker.
[SPEAKER_05]: A lot of times I'm wearing my golf shoes because they're hybrid golf shoes and you can opt it.
[SPEAKER_05]: You can wear them out, but today, and many, many days when I'm out walking the dogs, or I'm just coming into here to do the show, I get fresh out of the shower, and I slip into a pair of uphos.
[SPEAKER_05]: Are you familiar with uphos?
[SPEAKER_06]: You've mentioned them before, I think.
[SPEAKER_03]: They are the they are the slip-on like slides, but for like art support or something, it's supposed to help like with bad feet.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, is it corrective shoe?
[SPEAKER_03]: Like a prescription shoe?
[SPEAKER_03]: Now, what's the issue in my cast with his feet?
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, little less close.

[SPEAKER_03]: People are now taking pictures of themselves and asking chatGPT how they should dress.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, okay.
[SPEAKER_05]: And by the way, geography means a lot.
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, when we're down here, it's a different world.

[SPEAKER_05]: Let Mike, no shorts belts and tucked in shirts are not a thing.
[SPEAKER_05]: I just said that that's what I started the whole discussion with that.
[SPEAKER_05]: I know it's not a you know.
[SPEAKER_05]: form.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's not.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's not even a thing.
[SPEAKER_05]: You wear it on a golf course.
[SPEAKER_05]: You look, you know, it's not a great uniform.
[SPEAKER_05]: And I don't believe that I am stylish in any way by wearing golf clothing.
[SPEAKER_05]: I really don't.
[SPEAKER_05]: Now, as if I'm going to go out to a nice evening somewhere or social event, I am putting on long pants.
[SPEAKER_05]: And that that thank you very much.
[SPEAKER_05]: So I don't always wear that, but they are, but not a thing.
[SPEAKER_05]: I get it.
[SPEAKER_06]: Are they, are they long pants or they more like Capri's, Capri pants halfway at my calf?
[SPEAKER_06]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, you've got beautiful ankles.
[SPEAKER_05]: Tater tops are here.
[SPEAKER_06]: Josh, let's talk a little bit about Seth McFarlane.
[SPEAKER_06]: Can we do that?
[SPEAKER_06]: We can.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, Mike, I hate hate with the capital H, Seth MacFarlane.
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't think he's as funny as he thinks he is.
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't think he's as handsome as I think he is as he does.
[SPEAKER_06]: I just think that somehow he has landed in a way where people think he's funny.
[SPEAKER_06]: He's not this is from the show Ted, not the movie, but the show season two was a good movie.
[SPEAKER_05]: You have to admit that.
[SPEAKER_06]: It was okay, but you know what?
[SPEAKER_06]: Because he wasn't, but he wasn't in it.
[SPEAKER_06]: And seeing him, it was voicemail.
[SPEAKER_05]: It is fantastic Boston accent was the bear.
[SPEAKER_06]: So limited, so limited and what he does.
[SPEAKER_06]: To disagree with that, I mean, do you remember when he hosted, when he hosted the Oscars and he really came out like he thought he was something, and he was nothing.
[SPEAKER_06]: He's horrible.
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't know if he's a pile of feces, what he was.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh my God.
[SPEAKER_06]: Wow, that's right.
[SPEAKER_06]: And season two, they wanted to do a bit on the show Ted about Bill Clinton.
[SPEAKER_06]: And they couldn't do it with prosthetics.
[SPEAKER_06]: So he was Bill Clinton, but Seth MacFarlane is AI Bill Clinton.
[SPEAKER_06]: Let's take a look.
[SPEAKER_02]: What should do that order?
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's see everything looks good.
[SPEAKER_02]: And it recommendations?
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: I recommend you do a better job.
[SPEAKER_06]: Pardon?
[SPEAKER_06]: You, you're not doing a very good job.
[SPEAKER_02]: And, and, and, and, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I'm sorry you feel that way.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'd love to know your thoughts.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, the, your economy is bad.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I feel your pain, and I want to hear your grievances.
[SPEAKER_02]: Listen, would you folks mind giving us a few minutes to talk?
[SPEAKER_02]: I think he's a little nervous.
[SPEAKER_02]: Of course, sir.
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll be right outside.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, tell me what you're feeling.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think you stink.
[SPEAKER_02]: And you're doing a garbage job.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, listen here, you pocket mark piece of shit you got some set of balls.
[SPEAKER_02]: I take time out of my day to visit your little shop and you're giving me a rip.

[SPEAKER_02]: But you think you're so tough when you bag mouth.
[SPEAKER_02]: Why don't you take a swing at me, tough guy?
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll slap you back so hard.

[SPEAKER_02]: So people know we're having a good time.
[SPEAKER_04]: That is so What I love about that.
[SPEAKER_04]: That is That could all those be real couldn't it Because it could be because it's a problem.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, go ahead.
[SPEAKER_03]: The problem is they didn't need to do AI.
[SPEAKER_03]: You could have done makeup
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, kind of done someone who does a good personation, but if you did, hey, hi, if you did, hey, hi, you should look more like Bill Clinton.
[SPEAKER_06]: He looks like a guy who looks like Bill Clinton.
[SPEAKER_03]: But here's the thing.
[SPEAKER_03]: And now we've got to edit like seven things out of that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, sorry, buddy.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's the deal.
[SPEAKER_05]: You're making him work like a dog.
[SPEAKER_05]: I swear to God, and that's going to raise his blood pressure, Rob.
[SPEAKER_05]: I know.
[SPEAKER_05]: I know the point I want to make is the difference between public president, public politician and behind the scenes politician.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's one of the best examples I've ever heard.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's the way it really is.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's the way it goes.
[SPEAKER_06]: It doesn't make me like him anymore though.
[SPEAKER_06]: I thought it was interesting.
[SPEAKER_06]: All right.
[SPEAKER_06]: All right, we part is friends on that, Mike, Philadelphia is a beautiful city and is full of wonderful folks.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I know we've both worked there and we both love it.
[SPEAKER_06]: And if you want to get good food in Philadelphia, of course you want to go to the Mac and cheese food truck.
[SPEAKER_06]: But they took of, there's been a mistake, Mike, and no one can get to the bottom of what's going on in Philadelphia and the Mac and cheese, Josh.
[SPEAKER_18]: Philadelphia now has quite the story to tell the owner of mac and cheese stand mac mart in center city says it was sent hundreds of containers of French onion dip that really something a mac and cheese place this guy for its business no and add to that the company that produces the dip says they didn't send it so where the world had to come from our Jeff Skaversky digs in to Skaversky I want to talk about it
[SPEAKER_12]: in a little bit of a French onion pickle.
[SPEAKER_16]: The Macmart on 18th and arch in center city was in more than a pickle.
[SPEAKER_10]: Macmart.
[SPEAKER_16]: talk about a hell of a weird story.
[SPEAKER_16]: This mac and cheese stand got a taste of something unexpected.
[SPEAKER_16]: A random email from a promotions company in Australia offering 150 cases of hell of a good French onion dip.
[SPEAKER_16]: Next thing you know, poof.
[SPEAKER_16]: It shows up a whopping 600 tubs.
[SPEAKER_12]: 600 units is still quite scary for a small business.
[SPEAKER_12]: We had not accepted the promotion.
[SPEAKER_12]: So we had no idea it was being sent to us.
[SPEAKER_12]: And when I spoke to someone at Hall of the Good Devs, they were saying we don't do business overseas like that.
[SPEAKER_12]: We don't have that product overseas.
[SPEAKER_12]: So right away, everything started to get weird.
[SPEAKER_12]: So you're probably wondering, where in the world do you put serious?
[SPEAKER_05]: No, no, be a reporter, you dumb ass.
[SPEAKER_05]: I want to know why it was sent to next.
[SPEAKER_16]: foot by 11.
[SPEAKER_16]: Where does all that dip go?
[SPEAKER_16]: The long and short of it in the trash.
[SPEAKER_16]: Where do you put 600 key?
[SPEAKER_05]: That's enough.
[SPEAKER_05]: I swear it doesn't.
[SPEAKER_05]: There's no reporting being done.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a hero.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right here.
[SPEAKER_03]: And also Mike, it really is something on TikTok.
[SPEAKER_03]: And then said, oh, we'll do this.
[SPEAKER_05]: Would they I'd like to know why I'd like to know nothing was answered nothing was answered And I just have to say big news day in Philly that they can put what two people on this story That to me is local news at its finest when I why because I've a because that is what I did That's what I was trained to do Back in college was the fact is when you look at that you the first thing what's the first thing you pop You know I mean they don't make their own mac and cheese from scratch.

[SPEAKER_05]: I hope you have something amusing.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm getting very friendly.
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't want to make you mad, Mike.
[SPEAKER_06]: So, let's go to a lovely story in Mobile, Alabama.
[SPEAKER_05]: You know, is this the last one?
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes, it is.
[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, very good.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, Mobile, Alabama.
[SPEAKER_06]: And we talked yesterday briefly about how you can have signs in a business or a bar that are really just there for kind of fun.
[SPEAKER_06]: Like there used to be a sign
[SPEAKER_06]: at the 29-tasty diner in Fairfax by WJFK and they were the initials of a sentence and you have if you asked what it was they would always say it stands for your curiosity just cost you a quarter for the jukebox.
[SPEAKER_06]: So it was there as like a gag.
[SPEAKER_06]: So there are gag signs up in restaurants.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, there's a place in mobile called Winsels and they had a sign up that they actually had to honor.
[SPEAKER_06]: Let's close with this judge.
[SPEAKER_00]: Wenzels Oysterhouse in downtown Mobile has not only one since the late 30s.
[SPEAKER_14]: It's known for its walls covered in witty sayings.
[SPEAKER_14]: One promise this guy oysters to any man eight years old a company by his father.
[SPEAKER_14]: It's never been done till now.
[SPEAKER_00]: Ashab and Myers has a rare story for you tonight at Shelby.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a milestone.
[SPEAKER_11]: It really is.
[SPEAKER_11]: Let me say I got to meet the rush men.
[SPEAKER_11]: Jimmy, who just turned 80 brought in his 99 year old father, Jim.
[SPEAKER_11]: and wincels made good on its promise.
[SPEAKER_11]: The rushmen, uh, roll oysters.
[SPEAKER_11]: Although they grew up in mobile.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, we get it right now.
[SPEAKER_11]: But coming to the downtown mobile wincels location is tradition.
[SPEAKER_13]: My dad now started riding in a plate at Montagrone Friday night.
[SPEAKER_13]: Great.
[SPEAKER_13]: So we would come down here in Friday afternoon and eat oysters.
[SPEAKER_13]: And that started in 1972.
[SPEAKER_11]: On the walls, dozens of signs with quotes and really jokes.
[SPEAKER_11]: But there's one that's been a decades-old obsession to Carl Rush.
[SPEAKER_13]: But I can quote my heart.
[SPEAKER_13]: Great oysters to any man, 80 years old, accompanied by his father.
[SPEAKER_13]: So in seeing that sign, we felt like our dad was gonna make it to 100, because he's in great health.
[SPEAKER_13]: So we've been talking about it as a family for 25, 30 years.
[SPEAKER_13]: Thank you, Josh.
[SPEAKER_06]: Jesus Christ, what happened is that they finally were able to use the old man to get the free oysters, but there is a happy ending to the story.
[SPEAKER_06]: Is it?
[SPEAKER_06]: The 99-year-old father ate all those oysters.
[SPEAKER_06]: He stayed hard all night.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh God.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's everything, that's every element of a, of a, of absolute best show we've ever done.
[SPEAKER_05]: Absolutely 100%.
