00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:30.079
If you start on me o man, Hello, Hello, all right,

2
00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:39.000
bet your flex let's do it.
I'm back boy? Are you? Where's

3
00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:42.960
my billboard? This says I'm back
on it? That'd be bad ass people

4
00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:48.280

you know when dogs look at jeus,

5
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:54.079
they appe you left? Who who
are you? Do you think that'd be

6
00:00:54.119 --> 00:01:03.759
a bad allocation of funds to celebrate
your return after being gone for four days?

7
00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:11.359
I've seen the worst usage of funds. John Oliver bought a huge bird.

8
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:17.959
Welcome, Welcome, well whose Kevin
er? Oh, Mike' story is

9
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:27.640
gone? Everyone go long? Bankrupt
sounder? You seem prices right, lose

10
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:38.840
your horn? Is that the best? Wrong sounder? Wow? But Jeopardy

11
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:45.079
they just go yeah, is that
it? Or quick or something? And

12
00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:52.519
he goes no, sorry. Can
you imagine if every time you try to

13
00:01:53.280 --> 00:02:00.040
make love after being at the bar
and it doesn't go well, hear that

14
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:10.960
sounder fires off in your house?
You just quit snoring, can't get up

15
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:19.039
to sixty two those welcome back,
Homie, I am glad to be back.

16
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:23.000
Mischief missed you so much. She's
my fam. Yeah, it's good

17
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:25.080
to be back with the fam.
And then sir always like, hey,

18
00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:30.199
if he's coming back, I'm getting
the hell out. That's stone crabs.

19
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:38.159
We uh. I'm making fun of
sweet Mikey yesterday because let's face it,

20
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:45.520
today, even if you're working,
you ain't working well known. This might

21
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:51.879
be the biggest mail in day of
the year when it comes to people that

22
00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:54.400
aren't actually off the day before Thanksgiving
it. I don't know many folks that

23
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:59.479
are. As a rule, it's
always you get the Friday off afterwards,

24
00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:02.840
so you have a nice four day
weekend. But rarely do you see anyone

25
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:12.080
take the day off of Thanksgiving the
day before Thanksgiving off because it's basically a

26
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:16.240
paid day off anyway, Friday plus
Yeah, so Friday max plus. I

27
00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:21.919
thought it was kind of interesting that
on the biggest give up day that we

28
00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:25.439
know as a country, Mike Soroy
gives up so hard that he takes that

29
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:30.360
day off. Yeah. It's the
one day where having an early release is

30
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:35.879
actually what people want. Yeah,
because most people just go, yeah,

31
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:38.879
get out of here. That is
your duties by noon. Sea. I

32
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:45.000
don't know how much hopefully none time
you had to listen, well, I

33
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:50.199
saved the shows because we put every
segment on the iHeart app so it's save

34
00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:52.599
it. Such stuff to listen to
on the plane, and I listened to

35
00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:54.840
the show at one and a half
speed. Interesting way to listen to it.

36
00:03:55.000 --> 00:04:00.599
But that sounds funny, it's crazy. So we uh, I don't

37
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:02.000
remember what I was talking about.
Oh yeah, we were talking about how

38
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:09.360
like our company sends out an email
like all the time. But they mentioned

39
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:15.439
that today on the vacation calendar that
today is an office half day. So

40
00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:21.120
I would fully expect it around you
know, eleven thirty. This typically just

41
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:30.040
packed office with people just nose rubbing
directly against the grindstone. They're gonna hear

42
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:34.920
that that whistle fire off at eleven
eleven thirty. And just to see all

43
00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:40.639
of our office filing out to the
elevators, single file, all many of

44
00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:44.759
them. Yeah, probably just to
handle your stuff at home day. My

45
00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:49.639
guess I think is it's a good
day. It's a bad day to go

46
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:54.079
to the grocery store. But I
think it's a popular day because everybody's doing

47
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:58.079
their last minute, you know,
acquiring their last minute ingredients for the big

48
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:02.839
meal tomorrow. I ran last night
to the grocery store just for random.

49
00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:05.519
I'm back in town and need a
couple of things. Yeah yeah, and

50
00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:10.480
it was like you kind of crowded
your protein bars. People were getting ahead

51
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:13.680
of it. I guess last night
yeah yeah, I bet, yeah,

52
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:15.519
I bet last night was a big
grocery night too. But yeah, today

53
00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:25.199
wick out America grocery store days.
I hated working around Thanksgiving. Oh brutal.

54
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:28.480
And it was like extended hours on
Wednesday. Oh heck. Yeah,

55
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:30.600
yeah, he gotschorely and it's like
for me, it's like, well,

56
00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:34.959
my friends are all party and I'm
going to Stuart's to work. And that

57
00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:39.000
was that was a grocery store in
any right. Okay, so that was

58
00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:45.319
your first actual paid gig outside of
like Moony Yards and crab. Yeah,

59
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:47.240
I would say the first formal,
you know, working with a team,

60
00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:49.959
you know that type of thing.
Yes, yeah, same same. You

61
00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:54.720
had what was it called Stuarts Stuart's
food Store. We had we had two

62
00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:58.160
grocery stores in town and not city, back when it was a booming metropolis.

63
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:01.639
No, we had an Systems WHOA
does that ring a bell for you?

64
00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:05.639
I said, m Systems, which
was kind of the small town chain

65
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:11.079
I knew of others. And then
there was an independent called Bob's Super Save

66
00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:16.720
juice up the Super Saved. I
went Indie grocer and I worked for Bob

67
00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:19.600
Super Saved, and it was a
block from my house, so I could

68
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:23.000
just well, I mean, you
could walk anywhere in no city, but

69
00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:28.240
uh yeah, I walked to work
every day and worked at Save That's right

70
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:32.120
with Bob and I would sack groceries. And if you appeared to be someone

71
00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:38.480
that might have trouble getting your groceries
from the checkout line to your car,

72
00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:44.000
I would gladly assist. JJ.
What was what was your first paid job?

73
00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:50.879
First paid job? Ninety seven won
the freak. I think it was

74
00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:56.639
in college. Yeah, I worked
at a pizza spot during the summer.

75
00:06:56.959 --> 00:07:00.639
It was hard for me to get
a job because I was asking and all

76
00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:03.319
through school, so I was always
busy. In the summertimes, I could

77
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:06.160
never work, and so I didn't
really get a job until I was like

78
00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:10.360
twenty, like my first like paid
job, and I worked at a pizza

79
00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:14.279
place like that summer because I was
staying down there going to tea classes.

80
00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:16.199
Where was this again? A texta
a named Corpus Christie. Okay, so

81
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:18.439
you were in Corpus at a pizza
place. Was it like a local and

82
00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:23.279
yeah shop. Yeah, it was
called Pizza State, so it was like

83
00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:27.160
it was literally right on the corner
of our of our university college, so

84
00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:32.079
it was very very popular, popular
spot. Yeah. What were your duties

85
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:36.040
there? Did you make the pizza? We did everything made pizzas there because

86
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:40.399
we had a buffet, and we
did delivery and take out, so everyone

87
00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:44.240
pretty much did everything. That's how
it's like, that's small, smaller place

88
00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:47.360
it was. Did you ever spend
the night at your pizza place after hours

89
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:51.000
partying with a Dallas cowboy cheerleader and
accidentally do a line of meth and then

90
00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:57.240
slept for two days and get fired? I don't believe. Oh wow,

91
00:07:57.439 --> 00:08:00.560
it sounds like a great time.
Yeah, me either. Ever happened to

92
00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:03.399
me a lot of myth It was
an accident. It seems like it was

93
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:11.680
meth. It was an accident.
God, did you walk through the details

94
00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:18.160
of that another day. I need
Mikey here to walk me through it.

95
00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:22.040
Yeah, you can tell you some
of the things you might not have known.

96
00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:28.120
He wasn't there, He would have
been ten. Gosh, yeah,

97
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:33.320
that was cowboys cheerleader two. That
all sex up the story real quick.

98
00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:37.919
That went horribly. I don't know
if that added to the white trash or

99
00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:41.720
or took away from the white trash
of doing that. It's all about balance.

100
00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:48.399
Did you ever work pizza? Never
worked? Pizza. Definitely had some

101
00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:52.360
bad pizza that did a number on
my stomach a couple of days ago in

102
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:58.120
New York. Yeah. Well,
you know what, maybe don't have pizza

103
00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:03.440
when you think you need it.
First of all, I always love pizza,

104
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:07.279
just like the everyone does. But
you know, we talk about Andrews

105
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:11.799
like you can do pizza. You
can't do it right. Yeah, you

106
00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:15.720
can also do it very wrong.
You would think that in a city like

107
00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:20.840
NYC that pretty much all you know, offerings are going to be pretty good.

108
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:24.600
Maybe not before in fact, someone
to tell you a few things about

109
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:31.360
New York. Okay, we'll tell
everyone that Picks with Glenn's is coming up

110
00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:35.039
at nine. Yeah, I should
probably come up with something. Our special

111
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:41.000
guest is Yankees catcher Jose Travino,
former ranger. Great, he'll be calling

112
00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:46.960
in at nine. So you had
the mystery guests celebrity already. But he's

113
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:52.960
a friend and big Spurs fan though
weird, so he's high on the Wimby

114
00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:58.480
Hog. What's his connection to San
Antonio, lives grew up in Corpus CHRISTI.

115
00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:01.559
There you go there. He's probably
went to State Pizza. Yeah,

116
00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:07.759
probably go to State Pizza. It's
pizza, State State University. Gosh,

117
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:13.120
I'm a methadict. Okay, I
don't don't expect me to get things right

118
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:20.440
all the time. Step submitting it. He needed more, I need help.

119
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:26.039
Uh we had there was a big
plane crash in Plano. What was

120
00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:28.720
a small plane crash in Plano last
night? Yeah, in North Dallas.

121
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:33.440
It's all over the news this morning, and uh, we have someone calling

122
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:37.639

when it happened, saw the plane drop

123
00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:43.080
from the sky and impact fire,
all of it. He saw it.

124
00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:48.679
He He wasn't somebody that just stumbled
upon the aftermath. This dude is a

125
00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:52.360
good friend of mine. His name
is Jason Jane Keys. What do you

Dallas Morning News. He's a amazing photographer,

128
00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:05.480
longtime friend of mine, and he
was actually there and saw the whole

129
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:07.519
thing go down. He's going to
pop on during ding Goose Morning News and

130
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:13.840
give us a first hand account of
the deathly, deadly, deadly plane crash

131
00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:16.720
that happened in Plano just last night. Well, he's you're ready for Cowboys

132
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:20.879
and Commanders at seven, I have
our predictions for the game at eight,

133
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:24.000
a lot of other stuff. It's
also JFK Day, What are we doing?

134
00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:28.360
Hot Pepper? What did aunt Well
do that? At eight? The

135
00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:35.039
hot Pepper sonas a eight? Okay? Yeah, But so this is I

136
00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:39.840
went to New York and been on
the books for a little while because I

137
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:45.480
wanted to go and do New York
without So I did it in twenty ten,

138
00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:50.399
twenty ten maybe, but I went
with my parents, my brother and

139
00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:52.399
in twenty ten. Yeah, it
was before that. It was like the

140
00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:56.360
summer of that year. It wasn't
was it. It wasn't Ranger related.

141
00:11:56.519 --> 00:11:58.799
No, Well, the trip ended
up kind of being that way. Just

142
00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:03.080
want to see. My uncle lived
in near Baltimore at the time, so

143
00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:05.120
we're going up to Maryland and we
were like, screw it, let's go

144
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:09.320
catch a Ranger game at Fenway,
which we did that, and then we

145
00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:11.080
were like, well, let's go
to New York for a couple of days.

146
00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:15.159
So we kind of did like a
kind of a Northeast triangle. We

147
00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:18.879
spent some time in Boston, like
a day in Boston. We all we

148
00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:22.879
got two games at Fenway, went
to New York, went to the Yankee

149
00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:24.840
State the New Yankee Stadium, and
I think it was like one of the

150
00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:30.279
first years that it opened, and
spent a couple of days there, which

151
00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:33.279
is first time for me and my
little brother at the time. Jesus,

152
00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:37.559
he would have been sixteen, you
know, I was last year of college.

153
00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:43.279
And then spent time in Maryland seeing
my uncle who his family, and

154
00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:46.960
so that's still like you're kind of
confined to your parents. And remember I

155
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:50.639
think I told you guys this was
like it was mind blowing experience that I'll

156
00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:56.600
never forget is stepping out onto the
street in New York for the first time

157
00:12:56.679 --> 00:13:01.399
and going holy hell, yeah,
that's insane. And again in twenty thirteen,

158
00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:05.799
for well, it would have been
January of twenty fourteen for Super Bowl

159
00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:09.440
that year, and it was the
first Super Bowl I ever covered with the

160
00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:16.919
old station with Ben and skin.
But still there's something about work trip.

161
00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:20.919
So you kind of heard mentality kind
of with the work trip if you wanted

162
00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:24.559
to go exploring. We want a
lot of time to do that. It

163
00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:31.720
was also somewhere between five and twenty
degrees that entire week, So like,

164
00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:37.279
I wanted to go this time of
year before the chaos of Thanksgiving and this

165
00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:39.559
week, you know what New York's
gonna be like tomorrow with the parade,

166
00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:45.799
and I always wanted to go at
a time like when it's cooler but not

167
00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:50.480
cold, and it was perfect.
It was like fifty five to seventy degrees

168
00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:54.759
all week, had rained at all
or was it pretty clear? I had

169
00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:58.600
a little bit of rain but nothing. I never got hit by any rain,

170
00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:01.559
but the way it rained a little
bit overnight one night, so it

171
00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:05.840
was a little cloudy, a little
bit little windy on Monday. Monday was

172
00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:07.360
a little cold to be out and
things like that, but it was great.

173
00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:15.159
What was your primary source of transpot
cab walking or subway walking? In

174
00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:20.080
subway a lot of walking. My
feet were feeling it. Those city blocks

175
00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:26.200
are no jokes. They're not.
Man. You think of a block you

176
00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:30.639
in Dallas, if you've never been
to New York and you're thinking, oh,

177
00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:35.120
you know, maybe a quarter of
a mile or if that you know,

178
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:39.519
uh uh, those blocks are like
fn mile long. It feels like

179
00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:46.840
that's my number one takeaway through all
of that is we get around with our

180
00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:50.639
phones, and ten years ago I
don't remember getting relying on my phone that

181
00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:52.600
much to get around. A little
bit, yes, a little bit.

182
00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:56.320
And now you type in where am
I going? How do you want to

183
00:14:56.399 --> 00:15:00.480
hit it? Walk? Okay,
it's twelve minute. Walk okay, transit

184
00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:05.120
seven minutes, jump on the queue
train or whatever, you know, and

185
00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:07.679
they tell you exactly. They walk
you through it. But there are times

186
00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:11.159
when you're like, because you don't
use that subway system all the time,

187
00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:13.840
after you've done it for two days, you're like, hell, yeah,

188
00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:16.639
this is great. It's amazing.
I kind of love it. You can

189
00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:20.879
get so far in a short amount
of time. It's really really easy.

190
00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:26.679
So I'd never been until twenty ten. And you know, you have a

191
00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:33.240
general understanding. If you look at
a New York subway map, they shows

192
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:41.879
you the main lines, but there
are little sub arterial subway lines that go

193
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:48.679
into little neighborhoods basically all of Manhattan
Brooklyn. I guess maybe for the most

194
00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:52.080
part of the five boroughs or service
neighborhoods are serviced by the subway. You

195
00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:56.679
don't need a car in New York
if you live in that pretty central area,

196
00:15:56.080 --> 00:16:00.320
you just don't. But boy,
it's easy. If you don't have

197
00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:04.039
a good understanding of anything that kind
of offshoots off those main lines, you

198
00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:07.159
can get lost and you get stuck
on a train. That happened to me

199
00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:14.200
where I was trying to get back
from oh gosh, the Lower east Side

200
00:16:14.279 --> 00:16:18.399
back to Midtown because we were staying
in Midtown and I have a friend that

201
00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:22.759
lives there, and we went out
one night after the day Ranger game they

202
00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:25.720
played three in a row. In
the third game, there was the afternoon,

203
00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:29.240
so we went out and hung out
that night and it's you know,

204
00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:30.039
kind of late. I'm like,
well, I gotta get back and I

205
00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:33.399
can walk. That's going to take
me, like damn near an hour to

206
00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:34.480
get back to Midtown. I'm like, oh, let's take the subway.

207
00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:37.919
So I just hopped on one.
I just saw one and just hopped on.

208
00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:41.000
It's kind of looking around and going, yeah, I think it goes

209
00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:45.519
there, but now it dumped me
into weird places and I'm having to,

210
00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:48.600
you know, try to figure out. In twenty ten, my phone map,

211
00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:52.799
which was, you know, compared
to compared to now, was not

212
00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:56.720
as advanced, So it took me
damn near as long to after you know,

213
00:16:57.039 --> 00:17:00.679
getting getting on the wrong train a
couple of times to get back to

214
00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:03.200
where I wanted to be. Well, now your phone will just put you

215
00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:07.039
where you need to be. It's
so insane. It's also a good test

216
00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:12.000
for if you're with a partner,
okay, because you can find yourself if

217
00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:15.640
you want to be, if you
want to be stubborn. No, I

218
00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:19.559
think it's we should go uptown or
No, No, Downtown Brooklyn. No

219
00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:23.400
Uptown Queen's is the one we should
take because we're going up there, and

220
00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:29.640
luckily we didn't fight too much,
so like we didn't have any problems with

221
00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:33.359
that. But you're still there are
a few disagreements about which one you should

222
00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:38.759
jump on, just based on inexperience
that alone. Now I was going to

223
00:17:38.839 --> 00:17:45.480
see my favorite band. Don't make
fun of me, everyone, Godard apologize.

224
00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:49.519
Hey, you hear me? The
noted not Country band, the Dave

225
00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:56.119
Matthews Band. It is the thirtieth
time I was seeing him. Danny commitment

226
00:17:57.799 --> 00:18:00.599
stats here. Don't be a shame
of that. I fink you're ashamed.

227
00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:03.319
No, I'm not I've just been
made fun of it my entire life.

228
00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:07.000
So it's you know, when you
get bullied, these things stick with you.

229
00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:15.200
So go to show thirty Massive Square
Garden. Never been to the garden.

230
00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:22.240
It's efing awesome, Like it's stupid, that's it's in a train station,

231
00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:27.240
okay, but it's the concourse is
on the fifth level. It's the

232
00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:32.200
fifth level of the building. Had
no idea, I don't know what's up

233
00:18:32.359 --> 00:18:36.279
okay, second floor, fifth floor, like it's all the way up there.

234
00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:40.839
But it was kind of cool,
and it's it's been it's been worked

235
00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:42.440
on. It wasn't like an old
piece, like an old dump like I

236
00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:47.279
thought it would be. It's it's
updated. Is it strange to walk because

237
00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:52.599
I've never been. Is it strange
to walk out from the concert or I

238
00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:56.720
guess basketball game or whatever you're seeing
there and walking out to the concourse and

239
00:18:56.799 --> 00:18:59.880
looking out the window and looking down
in your five stories up. It's insane,

240
00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:03.200
doesn't make sense, it's really dumb, and said, when you're walking

241
00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:07.240
up to it, it's huge.
I was like immediately I just went compare

242
00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:11.200
that to the American Caroline Center.
It's way more awesome, Like it's just

243
00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:17.559
is and when on night when I
you tickets on the floor, right,

244
00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:19.359
So it's kind of cool. I
wanted to get there, not early,

245
00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:25.160
but like I did want to kind
of oh, look look at the banners

246
00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:29.160
New York Knicks jerseys. Kind of
cool. Soak it in. Yeah,

247
00:19:29.279 --> 00:19:30.880
it was. It was neat none. It was explaining to her a little

248
00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:36.519
bit, like this is the most
iconic arena you will ever be in arena

249
00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:41.960
maybe not venue like indoor arena,
this is probably the most iconic one you'll

250
00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:47.240
ever be in the Garden. It's
dark in there, which is really cool,

251
00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:52.000
which makes the lighting even better and
the sound even better and you can

252
00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:53.359
tell. So then this is kind
of for another reason I went to.

253
00:19:53.480 --> 00:20:00.319
It's like historically they usually close out
their winter tour at the Garden and they

254
00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:03.359
have guests and stuff like that.
I mean, there's an iconic one from

255
00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:07.559
years back when James Brown was still
living out of nowhere. James Brown shows

256
00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:10.000
up, so you never know who
the guest is going to be. You

257
00:20:10.079 --> 00:20:12.279
know, it's scaled down over the
years because they're not, you know,

258
00:20:12.359 --> 00:20:17.880
as popular as they were. I'm
sorry, I'm hung up on just imagining

259
00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:22.119
what kind of shape the Godfather of
Soul was in just a few years back

260
00:20:22.160 --> 00:20:25.319
when he was full alive fifteen or
twenty years ago. Well, and he's

261
00:20:25.359 --> 00:20:27.640
been dead about that long ago.
Yeah, what it was like when Homeboy

262
00:20:27.759 --> 00:20:32.279
walked out on stage with Dave Matthew, Yeah, right, like half knowing

263
00:20:32.319 --> 00:20:34.200
where he was. That's street.
It might have been O two actually,

264
00:20:34.240 --> 00:20:38.079
I think it was twenty one years
ago. It's always kind of a note

265
00:20:38.119 --> 00:20:41.960
like, Okay, it's gonna be
kind of a party weekend, right for

266
00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:47.599
the if you're whatever, you know? And they played they played Come Together,

267
00:20:47.759 --> 00:20:49.359
right, the Beatles song, which
everyone covers that song. It's a

268
00:20:49.400 --> 00:20:52.519
cool song, right, great,
they never cover that. They played a

269
00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:56.039
ton of covers, So there was
one guy behind me bitching is like this

270
00:20:56.160 --> 00:21:00.279
a cover band. Now it's party
weekend, you know that. So they're

271
00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:03.680
playing come Together, and they're about
to do like kind of the part where

272
00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:07.079
it slows down the engine and then
out comes trombone shorty out of nowhere.

273
00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:11.759
There you go, and he's just
the coolest dude, I mean, and

274
00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:14.359
then it's like okay, then even
announced that he was coming and they like

275
00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:17.519
Derek Trucks was there, which is
weird. I don't really he's great.

276
00:21:17.759 --> 00:21:22.079
He's amazing and I'm not easy like
intol like guitar wankery or whatever. He

277
00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:26.799
may be awesome. Best slide player
on the planet right now. Yeah,

278
00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:30.160
oh he's He's in Crown. Then
Susan Tedesky came out, then whatever and

279
00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:33.279
they did a couple of songs.
The bass guy from Saturday Night Live band

280
00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:36.200
came out and play. I was
like, okay. It was like a

281
00:21:36.319 --> 00:21:38.880
new guest each song and you're sitting
there going who's next, like what's it

282
00:21:38.960 --> 00:21:44.200
gonna be? And it's sometimes it's
guys you hadn't heard of. There's a

283
00:21:44.279 --> 00:21:47.400
trumpet player. It was very cool. And then night two we had seats

284
00:21:47.440 --> 00:21:51.559
off to the side and I bought
these and I was like, I bought

285
00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:53.960
him, like I'm our bottom on
the air one day. Here it was

286
00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:57.279
like partial views that are a little
cheaper. It was the best seats I've

287
00:21:57.279 --> 00:22:02.839
ever had in my life. Was
side no, I mean you couldn't see

288
00:22:02.839 --> 00:22:08.480
the background, but we were to
the side of the band's effing nuts dude.

289
00:22:08.960 --> 00:22:12.240
I was like, my mind was
blown off about how close I was.

290
00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:15.960
That's one of the side behind me. One of the best places for

291
00:22:17.119 --> 00:22:19.279
sound too. Yes, it sounded
amazing. You're getting really close up to

292
00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:22.559
you, you know, if you
care about the drummer, you know,

293
00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:27.319
which I do. I had a
minute where I said something I nearly got

294
00:22:27.359 --> 00:22:32.119
punched in the face. This is
walking on the sidewalks of New York City.

295
00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:37.359
We were there on some sort of
comic con weekend and a lot of

296
00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:42.599
the comic con people were staying in
our hotel really and one guy was wearing

297
00:22:45.079 --> 00:22:48.799
a purple suit and he had what
appeared to be like a NERF basketball in

298
00:22:48.920 --> 00:22:56.640
his pants in the back. To
have a crazy ass, and so Rocks

299
00:22:56.759 --> 00:22:59.119
just kind of says that to me, and I was like, I don't

300
00:22:59.160 --> 00:23:03.359
see it. And then I do
finally see it a few steps later,

301
00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:06.519
and I go, WHOA, that
is a crazy ass. But in front

302
00:23:06.519 --> 00:23:10.119
of me is a couple and it's
a woman three feet away from me,

303
00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:15.039
in front of me, and she
kind of turns. All she hears is

304
00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:23.880
a guy her going WHOA, that
is a crazy ass. Bos New Yak

305
00:23:25.160 --> 00:23:30.559
sitting woo Yak City. And then
the husband kind of looked at me and

306
00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:33.440
I said, no, I was
talking to the guy in the purple suit.

307
00:23:34.200 --> 00:23:37.079
And then they start looking for him, so that was fine. That

308
00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:41.599
wasn't a big deal. Don't have
pizza after you've drank a lot after night

309
00:23:41.720 --> 00:23:45.240
too, of get some street za. I didn't do streets A. I

310
00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:49.799
went ahead and did did the ten
minute waiting line at Joe's Pizza. Street

311
00:23:49.880 --> 00:23:53.759
Za would have been fine, probably, although I don't like that the hot

312
00:23:53.880 --> 00:23:57.920
dog salesman I didn't buy. As
you walk past them all, he was

313
00:23:57.960 --> 00:24:03.559
stacking his wingers up like a pyramid. It's just fun. Should prove I've

314
00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:10.279
got them all and I'm gonna cook
him for you. Very odd. It's

315
00:24:10.359 --> 00:24:12.720
strange, man, And you tell
me you said you only once for that,

316
00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:15.519
you know, is it wor you
probably have to do a little bit

317
00:24:15.559 --> 00:24:18.680
of exploring. But yeah, of
course a little bit. I was reminded

318
00:24:18.759 --> 00:24:23.920
that the number one thing I take
away from going there, and I'm glad

319
00:24:23.920 --> 00:24:29.160
I got to go and explore like
Sunday spin all day in Brooklyn and it

320
00:24:29.319 --> 00:24:33.480
was fun. It was like we
wanted to move around know Ho, go

321
00:24:33.640 --> 00:24:37.400
to Soho and go to the West
Side and just kind of do as much

322
00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:41.680
of it as you can, which
is easy to do with the subplay system.

323
00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:47.680
But it truly is a culture reset
that you just need. You need

324
00:24:47.839 --> 00:24:53.680
to just go and be around literally
every type of person you could imagine.

325
00:24:55.240 --> 00:24:56.599
There will be a guy who comes
up and ask you for money, who

326
00:24:56.640 --> 00:25:02.400
says he's a rapper from from England
and he's asking for money to get back

327
00:25:02.440 --> 00:25:06.240
to Boston. Yeah, and you're
like, man, if you're such a

328
00:25:06.319 --> 00:25:11.240
good rapper, no, but you
know, he asked for a twenty and

329
00:25:11.400 --> 00:25:15.599
I'm like, you did give you
a one? He needed twenty? He

330
00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:18.039
needed a twenty. Yeah, And
I was like, bro, the Metro

331
00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:19.519
card, it's like three bucks,
Like, you don't need a twenty,

332
00:25:22.839 --> 00:25:26.200
got it? Yeah? I know, we gotta go. I was there

333
00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:30.319
in twenty ten and didn't do a
ton outside of work because we had to

334
00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:33.039
do the showdown there and then go
to the games two nights in a row

335
00:25:33.079 --> 00:25:37.240
of night. Yeah, and we're
hauling ass to the subway to you know,

336
00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:41.359
make it to the Bronx, which
is a pretty long long haul full

337
00:25:41.640 --> 00:25:47.440
of Yankee fans and some Ranger fans, but mostly Yankee fans, and we're

338
00:25:47.559 --> 00:25:49.599
you know, going to those games. And then the third game was a

339
00:25:49.720 --> 00:25:56.000
day game, so they sent me
as a correspondent. So the two other

340
00:25:56.119 --> 00:26:00.279
hosts were back at the whatever New
York, you know, studio radio station

341
00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:03.119
doing the show, and I was
out there with a cell phone in twenty

342
00:26:03.319 --> 00:26:11.160
ten, calling in giving useless reports
and unfunny jokes, much like what you

343
00:26:11.279 --> 00:26:15.359
get, you know, at eight
thirty every day. So I did have

344
00:26:15.480 --> 00:26:18.200
a little bit of time that night, and the mornings were free, so

345
00:26:18.319 --> 00:26:22.880
I did go to Ground zero,
and it was before the new World Trade

346
00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:27.480
Center had been built. Yeah,
so it was kind of pretty creepy to

347
00:26:27.599 --> 00:26:32.599
be there on that site with nothing
there, but it was all clean,

348
00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:37.200
and you could tell that they were
moving in some construction equipment to kind of

349
00:26:37.200 --> 00:26:40.480
start maybe had just broken ground or
they were starting to work on it,

350
00:26:40.599 --> 00:26:42.960
or maybe it was under construction,
but at the very beginning phases. But

351
00:26:45.160 --> 00:26:48.720
yeah, that was pretty pretty mind
blowing to see that site and just the

352
00:26:48.799 --> 00:26:55.000
scale of it. You don't realize
how effing big, oh my god,

353
00:26:55.279 --> 00:27:00.640
that imprint is until you stand there
looking down on it, you know,

354
00:27:00.799 --> 00:27:03.920
because everything's just so small on television. But boy, when you're standing there,

355
00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:07.160
I can only imagine what it had
to have been like to watch those

356
00:27:07.240 --> 00:27:12.160
come down or to hear the initial
impact. Just the sheer, deafening sound

357
00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:15.240
of that and the scale of that, not to bring it, you know,

358
00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:17.599
no, no, no, we
didn't go to the site, but

359
00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:21.839
we saw it, but from a
different viewpoints, right like, because you

360
00:27:22.359 --> 00:27:26.640
can't help but go where it happens. Yes, And this is the thing

361
00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:30.039
is you're kind of reminded too.
We think of New York as this big

362
00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:34.440
place in New York. I guess
as a whole I guess, dude,

363
00:27:36.160 --> 00:27:38.960
all of that you were hearing and
feeling all that, no matter where you

364
00:27:40.160 --> 00:27:42.880
were, but no matter the amazing
thing about New York. You know,

365
00:27:42.920 --> 00:27:45.759
we're about to get into this in
the next segment, the big difference between

366
00:27:45.839 --> 00:27:51.400
New York and Dallas. When you
think of New York, I don't.

367
00:27:52.079 --> 00:27:56.480
That was the biggest event that happened
on our mainland ever, as far as

368
00:27:56.599 --> 00:28:03.519
a wartimesh tearest. Event took so
many damn lives, and like I said,

369
00:28:03.559 --> 00:28:07.000
the scale of that whole operation and
the aftermath, blah blah blah blah

370
00:28:07.000 --> 00:28:10.000
blah, all of it massive.
But when you think of New York,

371
00:28:10.240 --> 00:28:12.400
nine to eleven is not the first
thing that comes to my mind. It's

372
00:28:12.480 --> 00:28:19.799
just not because the history and the
scale of that area and everything that it

373
00:28:19.920 --> 00:28:26.000
represents, it's bigger than nine to
eleven. Sure it truly is. We

374
00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:32.279
live in a city where when you
think of Dallas, that, and coming

375
00:28:32.359 --> 00:28:34.319
up next, we will talk about
what happened sixty years ago, right here

376
00:28:34.799 --> 00:28:36.920
in our very own city,
