00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:49.119
Guten Morgan. That means good morning
in the native tongue of Maxi Kiba.

2
00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:54.759
Good morning. You're listening to the
downbeat. I'm ninety seven to one,

3
00:00:54.840 --> 00:01:00.000
the Freak, the lovely morning.
It is for six to ten am.

4
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:08.079
We today would be myself, Mike
Siroy, Daniel, Ricardo Bayless. I

5
00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:14.280
know you've told me, what is
it? Andrew Andrew, Daniel Andrew Bayless,

6
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:19.640
I'm Michael Lee Serroy. What's your
whole deal? Unless you want is

7
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:26.480
that weird guy from yesterday looking up
looking up your government name? You don't

8
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:30.239
have to tell us a lot of
Jay's in there though, Are a fourth

9
00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:33.879
Jay hidden somewhere? No, it's
really just two j's. It's my first

10
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:37.120
and the last name. Oh really, that's what That's what makes JJ.

11
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:42.280
Yeah. My middle name is Renee
Renee. That's beautiful. Thank you,

12
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:49.920
Coude. You destroy Danny Andrew and
Renee Jackson. Yeah. The JJ came

13
00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:53.159
when I was like ten years old
and I was playing softball and the coach

14
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:57.040
couldn't pronounce my name and he was
just like, what I call you JJ?

15
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:00.280
And I was like okay, and
so it just and then her nickname's

16
00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:06.239
cool too, JJ. Oh.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, like Jimmy's

17
00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:12.560
rone and her nicknames. JJ,
you're destroying you are? My names sound

18
00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:17.800
like something from a Bible picture book
for kids that you learn about. Daniel

19
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:22.439
was in the lions Den, you
know, and then Andrew I'm sure he

20
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:28.360
did, and Satan embraced Daniel.
I don't know what Andrew did. What

21
00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:30.280
did Andrew do in the Bible,
Mikey, tell me all about the Bible.

22
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:36.280
I made it through Genesis in my
quest to knock that that big bear

23
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:38.360
out. Okay, did you really
try? Yeah? You did? Yeah.

24
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:44.400
I tried when I was already a
smart alec teene because I was what

25
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:49.800
this is all about. No,
I was becoming, you know, not

26
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:54.319
political, and you know, had
hot religious opinions, and I was like

27
00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:58.319
at an age where I'm like,
all right, if I need to argue

28
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:00.840
these things, I need to be
I need to be educated. I'm going

29
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:05.719
to read this whole thing. I'm
going to disprove this whole book line by

30
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:09.520
line. Se Yeah, so I
made it through Jenny. That's just it,

31
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:14.240
dude. It's boring. The whole
Bible, or I mean pretty much,

32
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:22.639
it's long unless you've got unless you're
on some quest you know, for

33
00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:29.039
some spiritual, deep, deeper spiritual
connection with your your creator, which we

34
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:31.439
all should be. I mean stories
are cool, I guess when they water

35
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:35.360
them down and like I said,
put him in a kid's book, but

36
00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:40.000
as an adult you're reading him going
all right, that's everything's just so allegorical,

37
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:45.319
you know. Yeah, yeah,
that's funny. Is every time anything

38
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:46.919
religious comes up on this show,
you know, we kick it around.

39
00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:52.319
And one of my very good friends, Michael, is a pastor in Port

40
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:57.879
Lavaca, Texas. I forget that. Well, yeah, he doesn't listen

41
00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:00.599
live. He listens you know,
right when he in the afternoons, and

42
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:04.919
he'll text me with all sorts of
I mean, he's cool and I've said

43
00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:11.360
it before, he's an incredible person, Like he has made me view differently.

44
00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:14.039
I mean, you know, I
like pastors anyway, and they tend

45
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:18.040
to be very good people who care
and very loving, beautiful humans. But

46
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:24.040
he is funny, like legit funny, and I just really admire him.

47
00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:26.959
So he will chime in on something
that I totally forgot about and he'll be

48
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:30.480
like clear something up or text it. Like he'll probably text me to go

49
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:33.439
dude. Yeah, most of the
Bible is pretty boring, especially when you

50
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:38.560
get to all of the begats.
Yeah, and you obviously never made it

51
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:43.879
to that, well you only went
to Genesis. But it seems like your

52
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:48.399
pastor friend, he's kind of got
like a really good not only self awareness,

53
00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:51.720
but awareness of the world that he
was called into. Yeah, you

54
00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:57.600
know, yes, and perceptions of
that world and trying to improve any of

55
00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:03.560
the negative perceptions. Yeah, a
modern pastor. And yeah, I think

56
00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:08.079
it's really admirable. I think it's
really kind of cool. Yeah. But

57
00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:10.720
yeah, like the other day,
he hit me up after we talked about

58
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:16.040
that girl who was singing for the
Lord on the airplane and I forgot all

59
00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:18.040
about it, and he texted me
later he's like, man, he's like,

60
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:20.519
I'm a man of the Lord.
I this this He's like, but

61
00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:25.759
I would have told her please sit
down immediately, right, and maybe even

62
00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:28.360
said like the Lord is not I
don't know if he said that. I

63
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:30.160
don't want to put words in his
mouth to say that. He said,

64
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:33.240
I don't want to read it for
bati. Well, let me reset the

65
00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:36.000
story just super super quick while you're
looking that up. So a lady I

66
00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:39.360
can't remember her name, I don't
have the story yet. But she is

67
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:43.720
a Grammy nominee, two ton Grammy
nominee, and a gospel singer. And

68
00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:47.279
I guess the newest thing that she's
her newest project, gospel project is is

69
00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:49.800
nominated. And she was on a
plane, and I think this was before

70
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:54.319
the plane took off. She stood
up in the aisle and started singing gospel

71
00:05:54.439 --> 00:06:00.079
music and to the passengers, passenger
yes with her song. And so one

72
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:02.879
of the flight crew comes back to
her and says, lady, can you

73
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:08.079
please sit down? And she didn't
really protest, but you know, she's

74
00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:11.759
very vocal. I'm singing about the
Lord, and I'm sharing the good news

75
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:15.120
with these fine people on Delta,
and the Lord's telling me, yes,

76
00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:20.920
I'm moved by the Holy Spirit to
do this act of kindness, and she

77
00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:26.240
sits down. That's a powerful argument
too, if you believe that. And

78
00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:31.199
that's the thing is the Bible teaches
it depending on how you That's the thing

79
00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:35.319
about the Bible. It's you can
look at it through one hundred different lenses

80
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:43.480
and get unique interpretations or are unique
understandings from each camera that you're looking through.

81
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:47.560
But there is one school of thought
that the Bible teaches that these people,

82
00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:51.240
these disciples of Christ, the people
that are saved, they are supposed

83
00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:56.759
to be a witness. They are
supposed to bear witness of the story of

84
00:06:56.839 --> 00:07:00.160
Jesus to the world. And you
will be prosecuted or persecuted. I'm sorry,

85
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:04.199
you will be persecuted for your views
and the fact that you're doing this.

86
00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:11.800
So I bet in this woman's mind
she was doing the Lord's work and

87
00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:15.680
the guy from Delta that's asking her
to sit down is someone that is persecuting

88
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:19.600
her views. And she has a
right, yeah, to spread the good

89
00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:23.240
news. Yeah, and he's just
like, we're just trying to get this

90
00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:26.560
bird off the ground, right,
that's it. Well, that's not part

91
00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:30.560
of my my plan. That doesn't
work for me. He texted me after

92
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:32.480
that story. He said, I'm
a man of the Lord. I would

93
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:35.560
have told that woman to sit down
and shut up. We ain't there for

94
00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:43.160
that. And he said, this
is not a Christian move right there?

95
00:07:43.839 --> 00:07:47.120
Really? Yeah? Did he expound, No people want to hear saying or

96
00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:49.360
singing. They could, you know, download her music or go to a

97
00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:53.160
concert. Yeah. And I don't
know if it's quite that simple, but

98
00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:59.920
yeah, he's he views it in
a modern way. And I just think

99
00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:03.199
it's very interesting. Yeah. I
do believe that, you know, when

100
00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:07.160
you kind of it is free will. It is your choice, and if

101
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:13.079
that's something that you want, then
it should be up to you right to

102
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:16.160
seek that out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, But then I think there's

103
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:20.759
an obligation by true believers to share
their love and their heart and their beliefs.

104
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:26.480
Like you said, that's part of
sharing the words, spreading the gospel,

105
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:30.160
right. Well, yeah, there's
the difference is is you have guys

106
00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:35.840
like your pastor, your pastor your
video game friend it happens to be a

107
00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:39.279
pastor. Yeah, you know,
let me reset that real quick. I've

108
00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:43.919
met him twice now in person.
Right. You lived in Florida at the

109
00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:46.519
time, and like ten years ago, I tweeted out, Hey, I'm

110
00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:48.759
looking for someone to play Fortnite with, and he just happened to be the

111
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:52.440
first person to slither through the cracks
and invite me. And he was like

112
00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:58.320
near my he's my age, and
he's funny, and he's crappy at the

113
00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:01.159
games like I am. And we
just hit it off and I never added

114
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:05.600
at like almost anyone else to play
with like and he and I have been

115
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:09.080
playing for nearly a decade. But
there's a distinction between guys like him and

116
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:13.200
the guy that's, you know,
wearing a sandwich board with a megaphone at

117
00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:18.840
a concert at the AAC spreading the
good news in his way as people are

118
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:24.120
trying to walk in in this distorted, loud voice. Telling everybody they're going

119
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:28.519
to hell if they don't repent is
another strategy. And that's, like you

120
00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:31.840
said, the perception of what you
read excally how and they would argue how

121
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:37.159
they're so passionate they have been called
to stand out on a street corner and

122
00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:41.519
megaphone in people's faces. And the
thing is is who's to say which one

123
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:46.440
is right? And the eyes of
the one that would determine that it's correct.

124
00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:50.320
So it's really it is all up
to us humans and our interpretations of

125
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:56.039
what the message is and how many
of those people can get together and be

126
00:09:56.200 --> 00:10:00.240
like minded about it, and the
larger the group, the big or the

127
00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:03.639
influence, which I truly believe and
this may be unpopular to say, but

128
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:09.039
I think the the majority of wars
that we've had in this world are based

129
00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:13.399
on people's different interpretations of religions and
the biggest group that can get together and

130
00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:16.120
believe the same thing. Are the
ones that are going to have the most

131
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:22.279
impact on well, on those types
of Uh. I would say all of

132
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:28.600
them are rooted in that, but
sometimes loosely rooted. Of course, it's

133
00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:33.720
screaming that when the real motive is
something else entirely that's a mountain of money.

134
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:39.919
Always follow the money, Yeah,
for sure, because look the pious

135
00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:46.240
nature of these A lot of these
people that are that are that are attacking

136
00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:50.919
and fighting and warring in the name
of God. Their behavior typically does not

137
00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:58.120
line up with the message of the
Almighty. Otherwise nine to eleven attackers wouldn't

138
00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:01.960
spend the night downing shots of gold
old schlager at a strip club till four

139
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:05.879
in the morning, right, And
the Hamas people that are doing what they're

140
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:09.000
doing over there in the name of
spilling blood in the name of the Lord

141
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:16.679
wouldn't be adding rape to their list
of things to do that day. It's

142
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:20.799
a mess. That's why I tend
to try and stay out of all of

143
00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:24.720
it. Yeah, kind of me
too. Yeah. Did you read the

144
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:28.600
whole Bible or some of it or
how much of it? I did at

145
00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:33.000
one point? Because I grew up, you know, mostly Baptist in middle

146
00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:37.399
school and high school. And we
did have a youth director that was really

147
00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:39.320
awesome. I love the guy.
He was great. But he had this

148
00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:43.399
mission for hey, read the Bible
in a year. I'm like, you

149
00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:45.720
know what, I think I can
do that knock out a little bit at

150
00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:48.519
a time. And I stayed on
that, I think until about maybe I

151
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:52.159
don't know March. Okay, it's
pretty good. No, but I did

152
00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:54.919
I you know, I didn't stay
on there that grid that they that he

153
00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:58.200
had a sign to do it in
a year. But ultimately I think I

154
00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:03.919
have at least red ninety five percent
of it, skipping over a lot of

155
00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:07.679
the genealogy stuff. Yeah, when
you just kind of are looking there's seventeen

156
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:13.639
pages of Begats, I'm really just
going to flip through this crap and move

157
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:18.399
on to something else. But yeah, I would say pretty close to it.

158
00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:22.799
Not absorbing every single word in course, but yeah, look, do

159
00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:26.200
whatever you want to do. Everybody, absolutely just be a good person.

160
00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:28.519
You'll pay the price in the end. I ten, whoa the ultimate price?

161
00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:33.320
Right? What a way to end
it? You'll pay the price in

162
00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:35.080
the end. I mean maybe you
will, maybe you want that's the thing

163
00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:39.200
is nobody knows anything for certain,
nobody. I tend to try to follow

164
00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:45.159
the Golden Rule, which I feel
like has been sort of pushed aside.

165
00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:48.360
Here is this the rule that Trump
had in that hotel room in Russia?

166
00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:54.320
That? Yeah, not that one, I said, Golden rule. My

167
00:12:54.840 --> 00:13:03.000
apologies to my friend who's been compromant, Danny Bayles. No, I think

168
00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:05.399
the Golden rule, and no one
really. I almost wonder if there'll be

169
00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:09.240
like a religious or not a political
party like called the Golden Rule Party or

170
00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:13.799
something like that. I don't know, it's just sitting there. It's the

171
00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:20.440
easiest thing, like not connected with
any religion in any way. No,

172
00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:24.120
I don't know. It's just such
a basic principle that kind of says it

173
00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:31.360
all. Well, the Golden Rule
is somewhat flawed as well. Why because

174
00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:35.039
I paraphrasing, But it's treat do
unto others as you would have them do

175
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:39.039
unto you exactly. Well, what
if you're kind of a sado masochist and

176
00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:45.320
you like to self flagellate, and
you don't think have a high opinion of

177
00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:48.399
yourself, and you really don't like
to be treated well, and then you're

178
00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:52.360
going to project down on others if
you adhere to the Golden Rule. Look,

179
00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:58.120
I imagine there's loopholes to every as
there's loopholes everything that you could.

180
00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:05.279
Probably generally speaking, I think the
Golden rule is a good policy, and

181
00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:11.200
it's not to acquire as much gold
as possible and stare at it point make

182
00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:13.759
sure no one else gets to touch
it. We don't have any Kevin Turner

183
00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:20.320
today. Let's see it is empty. He's on an adventure. I don't

184
00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:26.159
leave it this afternoon. I suppose
he's going to New York cityy he's going

185
00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:33.279
to see dm B Right Matthews Dave
Matthews Band at Madison Square Garden two nights

186
00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:35.639
or just one. Well, he's
got tickets two nights, Friday and Saturday

187
00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:39.759
night, and I think that's pending
if anything comes through for him to go

188
00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:45.519
see uh Saturday Night Night Live.
Of course is Saturday. That would interfere

189
00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:48.320
with his Saturday Night Dave Matthews plans. But I think in that trade he

190
00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:54.639
would rather do Friday Night Dave Saturday
Night SNL we have. He'd scream at

191
00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:58.240
me for not knowing this, Jason
Momoa, is that this week? Oh

192
00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:05.960
God? Sorry? He told me
that was a cathere noise from Mama this

193
00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:07.679
week, and I think it is. I don't know. I saw a

194
00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:13.559
picture of Mama man because he's doing
Aquaman tour. Maybe she's out December.

195
00:15:15.320 --> 00:15:18.320
What you got? I said,
that comes out in December. Essen l

196
00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:24.600
hosts this week. You like him? I do? He is your fabie?

197
00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:28.399
No, Michael Michael b is her? Yeah, her number one?

198
00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:33.240
Yeah, he's doing Saturday Night Lights. Okay, little promos. Someone said,

199
00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:35.759
man, I love being part of
the six a M Club. Let's

200
00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:41.759
tackle politics, next boys, religion
check Jason Momoa. And then musical guest

201
00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:48.360
is Taint McCrae. Tate McCray.
Tate McCray. He's Tate McCrae, pop

202
00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:54.600
singer. Yeah, gote like one
two songs. Oh that's right, yeah,

203
00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:58.440
because you'll play them both. So
he's trying to I don't know.

204
00:15:58.519 --> 00:16:03.279
I mean, at worst, he's
going to see his favorite band twice in

205
00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:07.240
MSG. Have you done shows at
MSG? I've never been to MSG.

206
00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:11.559
I've only been to New York one. New York City one time. Yeah,

207
00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:15.039
and that was in twenty ten when
the Rangers. The only reason I

208
00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:18.799
was able to go was because of
it was a work trip. For the

209
00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:22.480
Rangers playoff run when they went up
there and played the Yankees. Oh so

210
00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:26.559
that was only a couple few days. We went to all three games.

211
00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:30.320
Okay, well we went to two
and then the game one, two,

212
00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:36.399
three, because it was it would
have been Game five was a day game,

213
00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:41.639
and the other guys, Mike and
Korby, were broadcasting, because well

214
00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:44.320
broad it was kind of like what
we did in Houston. You go to

215
00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:49.080
the game and then the next day
you broadcast from you know, a Cumulus

216
00:16:49.159 --> 00:16:53.679
site at the time. So we
would do our show, catch the subway

217
00:16:53.799 --> 00:16:56.879
to the Bronx, and then go
to the game. So we did that

218
00:16:56.919 --> 00:17:00.840
two nights and then the next day
there was a game five, and we

219
00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:06.160
those guys did the show and sent
me out there. So I was at

220
00:17:06.200 --> 00:17:11.119
the game five where the Rangers got
smeared by New York, but I was

221
00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:15.759
calling in with live updates. Can
you imagine that in twenty ten? Yeah,

222
00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:21.240
let's go Yankee Stadium live, didn't
you? Yeah? What you got?

223
00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:25.200
I don't know, really, I
mean, somebody's on third, but

224
00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:29.079
you wouldn't believe the tank top on
this lady in section four oh three.

225
00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:33.079
My god, her name's Glinda,
very friendly, she said, I'm kind

226
00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:38.799
of single. Anyway, back to
the buffet, guys. That was one

227
00:17:38.839 --> 00:17:42.640
thing is that was a sponsored trip
by a big ticket outlet that paid for

228
00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:47.960
us to go, so we had
full VIP treatment. There are pictures of

229
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:52.680
me and Corby sitting on the front
row in plush seats. Those when Yankee

230
00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:56.319
Stadium referbed all that crap. This
was New Yek Stadium, that's right,

231
00:17:57.039 --> 00:18:00.400
and so we're s pliners. That
looked. Dude. It was insane,

232
00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:04.920
insane And you would walk so right
on the front row, right down the

233
00:18:04.920 --> 00:18:11.119
first baseline the Cliff League game,
which was just legendary, where he emptied

234
00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:17.519
that damn stadium out probably by the
sixth inning. There was a little a

235
00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:21.039
door that you would go to when
you would exit your section and led down

236
00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:26.440
this hallway to this massive buffet.
And I think we spent more time eating

237
00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:30.400
free food from this buffet than we
did watch in baseball. Yeah, just

238
00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:33.440
grazing, dude. It was so
good, so much stuff. It was

239
00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:37.759
the full VIP treatment. But yeah, that's the only time I've been to

240
00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:41.000
New York City and spent you know, any amount of time there. But

241
00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:45.119
we were there for a week.
Man We were there like several days,

242
00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:48.400
so I had time to goof around
and do stuff to the nine to eleven.

243
00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:51.960
Saw a friend of mine that lived
up there, hung out with her

244
00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:55.799
for a day, just you know, took it all in as much as

245
00:18:55.839 --> 00:19:00.279
you could. It's fun. I've
done an a bunch of times. The

246
00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:03.519
only time I've done MSG is for
I saw Fish there and I saw Radiohead

247
00:19:03.519 --> 00:19:06.480
there. I've never seen a sporting
event there when I probably went up there

248
00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:08.680
for both those events. One was
New year so yeah, New Year's even

249
00:19:08.759 --> 00:19:11.359
New York. Did you do the
Big ball Drop? No, we did

250
00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:17.079
the Fish show. They had a
they usually do do that, and it's

251
00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:18.920
a party. I mean you're there
at midnight, you know, so it's

252
00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:23.200
a quite a fiesta up there.
But yeah, no, I did not

253
00:19:23.200 --> 00:19:27.359
get anywhere near the ball drop.
And it sounds like a nightmare. Both

254
00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:32.079
shows are ready MSG. Yeah.
Is that place just a total dump?

255
00:19:32.599 --> 00:19:34.880
No, But it's not like there's
nothing about it that's out other than where

256
00:19:34.920 --> 00:19:37.359
it is. Man You are right
in the city. It's is it it

257
00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:41.559
like right in the middle of Manhattan? Uh? Yeah, pretty much.

258
00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:45.680
Yeah, it's just south west of
Times Square, I think. But yeah,

259
00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:48.559
you at a Penn station, and
you know it is when you're on

260
00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:52.640
those subways, it's just something cool
about it. And you get off and

261
00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:55.960
you walk up those stairs and then
it's New York. It's a different chunk

262
00:19:55.960 --> 00:20:00.279
of New York, and you once
you breach the sidewalk, you know,

263
00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:03.440
you're just eye candy galory. My
god. Right, I'm at Madison Square

264
00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:08.079
Garden essentially are there? And I
do remember you walk up like the court

265
00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:11.880
is elevated. I think, like
you go up a bunch of escalators.

266
00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:15.559
Really yeah, Okay, So I
always had the impression that Madison Square Garden

267
00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:19.680
was like underground. No, no, because I think Penn Station is like

268
00:20:19.759 --> 00:20:23.720
right underneath it or right there.
I think I just remember going up more.

269
00:20:23.880 --> 00:20:26.039
Why are we going up so much? And then you tended to be

270
00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:30.400
at court level. I think maybe
it's just a perception thing from starting at

271
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:33.160
the subway station under it. I
really don't know. But yeah, no,

272
00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:36.920
it's it's fine. It's nice.
There's a bunch of cool pictures and

273
00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:40.160
crap on the walls. There's iconic
sports moments and concerts. I mean,

274
00:20:40.200 --> 00:20:44.640
everybody's been there and played there,
and it's it's got a cool vibe and

275
00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:48.039
feel to it, But there's nothing
else standing about it other than the fact

276
00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:52.880
that you're standing in the you know, most famous arena in America? Is

277
00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:57.640
it? Have they modernized it to
the point where when you're inside the inside

278
00:20:57.680 --> 00:21:03.200
the actual arena, that you don't
even realize you're in an old ass stadium?

279
00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:07.519
Oh yeah, probably, i'd say
that, but there's something, there's

280
00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:10.400
some old crap about it. I
will say that fish show I went to

281
00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:17.440
is the most expensive ticket I've ever
bought to maybe anything, seven hundred and

282
00:21:17.480 --> 00:21:23.039
fifty bucks. And I was sitting
there at Italy having a glass of wine

283
00:21:23.079 --> 00:21:26.079
on the rooftop, beautiful by the
way, and I want to go to

284
00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:30.680
this show. And I tried all
the tricks of people I knew or anything,

285
00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:32.640
and nothing comes in and I'm just
like, what am I going to

286
00:21:32.720 --> 00:21:34.279
do? I've came all the way
up here and you have to click on

287
00:21:34.319 --> 00:21:40.680
the thing and spend seven hundred and
fifty dollars for second to dead last row

288
00:21:41.359 --> 00:21:49.319
rafters like partially obstructed view rafters seven
hundred fifty bucks. That was when they

289
00:21:49.319 --> 00:21:52.319
did the Baker's Dozen. They did
the thirteen straight shows in New York,

290
00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:59.559
and how many years ago? Was
that? Hell eight, that was seven

291
00:21:59.599 --> 00:22:03.039
hundred five fifty bucks seven years ago? Yeah, oh my god, And

292
00:22:03.079 --> 00:22:07.279
that's the most expensive ticket you've ever
purchased. I think that's gonna change in

293
00:22:07.319 --> 00:22:10.920
April. What's in April? And
what are you doing? Where are you

294
00:22:10.960 --> 00:22:15.680
going in April? Bro? I
literally don't know. I think you're taking

295
00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:18.680
a taking a trip with a bro
going on? Oh god, yes,

296
00:22:19.160 --> 00:22:22.559
no, man, there might be
Yeah, I don't know. I don't

297
00:22:22.640 --> 00:22:23.680
want to think about. Yeah,
you're right, Mike. He's going to

298
00:22:23.720 --> 00:22:29.160
the mass Destination Augusta, Georgia.
And I promised my brother for his fiftieth

299
00:22:29.200 --> 00:22:33.799
and I don't have tickets yet,
but we're going. Yeah, g damn

300
00:22:33.799 --> 00:22:37.359
it, we're going. We guys
have both been before. No, he's

301
00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:41.240
never been. Did you have?
I have? Yes, you've actually watched

302
00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:45.640
real live Big Boy golf. There
just a practice round. I was there

303
00:22:45.680 --> 00:22:51.880
for Sunday of Jordan Speath's victory.
But I was invited. What year was

304
00:22:51.880 --> 00:22:56.680
that? Fifteen? Okay, so
yeah, I went the year after.

305
00:22:56.599 --> 00:23:02.799
Were you there because of the ticket
or did you go? No? Demarus,

306
00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:07.480
our buddy, Brian Demaris invited me. I was pro James Harden's best

307
00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:11.119
friend. Yes, exactly, the
James Harden guy. I was prepping for

308
00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:14.920
circ de Siroy on a Friday night
and he's like, hey, you want

309
00:23:14.920 --> 00:23:18.240
to come to the Master's Sunday two
days from then? And I called my

310
00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:22.519
brother and I asked permission because it
was just always our plan to go together,

311
00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:26.519
and he's like, yeah, man, go. So I booked a

312
00:23:26.519 --> 00:23:30.680
flight that night, I booked everything, rental car, and Demeris was awesome.

313
00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:33.279
He invited me, had a Sunday
badge and had an Airbnb. He's

314
00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:36.720
like, oh, you do is
get here? So yeah, I did

315
00:23:36.799 --> 00:23:40.079
Cirk Saturday. I flew out right
after the show one day late, less

316
00:23:40.119 --> 00:23:42.319
than twenty four hours after I found
out about it, and rented a car

317
00:23:42.359 --> 00:23:45.759
and zipped over there, and oh
my god, that wasn't heaven. I

318
00:23:45.799 --> 00:23:49.000
got there to his airbnb and I
was just re He had like the pamphlet

319
00:23:49.079 --> 00:23:55.359
from en Course Rules and en Course
Viewer Guide, which I've never seen before,

320
00:23:55.400 --> 00:23:59.720
and I just laid on the couch
and read it like such a nerd

321
00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:03.119
little kid in baseball cards. And
he had been there two previous days and

322
00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:04.079
he's like, oh, He's like, we can get there at like eleven

323
00:24:04.119 --> 00:24:07.400
o'clock. You know, the leaders
will be teeing off about that. I'm

324
00:24:07.400 --> 00:24:11.000
like, that does not work for
me. I want to be out there

325
00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:15.279
at six, like whenever the door's
open, because you're there one day.

326
00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:18.240
You need time to walk the ground. Yes, I want to do it.

327
00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:21.440
I want to do it. When
so he acquiesced a bit. We

328
00:24:21.480 --> 00:24:23.400
got there pretty early earlier and he
would have wanted. And I walked it

329
00:24:23.480 --> 00:24:29.599
back nine hours before anyone was out
there. Just looked at it, you

330
00:24:29.599 --> 00:24:33.400
know. Oh my god, got
a sports cry right when I walked out

331
00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:37.599
there. It's overwhelming, man,
unreal. To this day, I will

332
00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:41.240
still say I think golf is not
my favorite sport. I don't play it.

333
00:24:41.640 --> 00:24:47.119
I'm the most casual golf viewer in
the world. And it's the coolest

334
00:24:47.319 --> 00:24:49.480
sporting event that I've ever been to. Yeah, I love that. You

335
00:24:49.480 --> 00:24:52.359
say that, too, nose.
It might not even be that close.

336
00:24:52.519 --> 00:25:00.200
Yeah, yeah. And I've seen
World Series Championships one on my home home

337
00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:06.079
field, you know, and seeing
the Mavericks at the Mother's Day massacre and

338
00:25:06.559 --> 00:25:11.920
clearing out the Staples Center in LA
when they're big run and walking onto the

339
00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:18.079
hallowed grounds of the Masters. There's
nothing like it. Yeah, it's gorgeous.

340
00:25:18.119 --> 00:25:21.160
I'm going big ticket in April.
All right, no KT. Today

341
00:25:21.200 --> 00:25:23.920
we have JJ Jackson. She will
be featured at nine am today because it

342
00:25:23.960 --> 00:25:27.319

some doozies for us. She's seen the

343
00:25:27.319 --> 00:25:30.119
new Hunger Games movie. Let me
try it, Let me try it.

344
00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:44.519
Hold on Serpents and serpents, Jesus, no snake skin and seaweed. You're

345
00:25:44.559 --> 00:25:48.839
