We've got the details in just a second. 146 00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:41.560 We didn't mention it yesterday because I so disgusted. Still, 147 00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:49.360 am Longhorns baseball season done? They lost to Utsa twice, 148 00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:51.720 Oh my god. And then they were having a great 149 00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:54.879 season right there. We're ranked number one for a majority 150 00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:57.680 of the season. They lost in the first game of 151 00:06:57.720 --> 00:07:01.160 the SEC tournament. Then they lost, they lost, well, they 152 00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:04.319 beat they lost to ut San Antonio in game one, 153 00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:06.959 they beat Kansas State in game two. Then they lost 154 00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:11.439 in the UTSA again. So their baseball season is over 155 00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:15.800 shocked by that. Anyway, onto the next thing. Although I'm 156 00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:18.879 all about Longhorns, I was just impressed by the whole program. 157 00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:22.240 The rowing team finished like third in the country, which 158 00:07:22.279 --> 00:07:26.720 is pretty amazing think about it, because that's very, very 159 00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:28.199 very much an East Coast sport. 160 00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:32.319 Oh yeah, especially in the IVYS We've got one of 161 00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:35.600 the better lakes for it. It's unfortunately been overrun by 162 00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:40.160 stand up battles. If you're a rower, you probably can't 163 00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:43.680 use the lake anymore. But but yeah, we supposedly have 164 00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:45.800 one of the best rowing lakes. But yeah, that's a 165 00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:50.120 complete like IVY League, Yeah, very much. 166 00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:50.199 So. 167 00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:52.120 Have you ever see that movie Man in the Boat 168 00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:55.079 or not Man in the Boat, Men in the Boat. 169 00:07:55.240 --> 00:08:02.079 Oh, I remember, based on the book about the That 170 00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:03.360 was a kind of a freak thing too. 171 00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:06.399 That was a small school from Washington, well it was 172 00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:09.560 Washington State, not a small school, but going up against 173 00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:11.360 the Ivy League guys, it was unheard of. 174 00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:14.560 Yeah, that's it. And I remember when I lived in Syracuse, 175 00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:16.319 New York. I lived right on a on a river, 176 00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:19.439 and the Syracuse crew team used to practice and I 177 00:08:19.439 --> 00:08:21.240 would see him going up and down, and I just 178 00:08:21.319 --> 00:08:24.000 remember saying, if I was a rower, I'd be the 179 00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:25.720 one of the I would want to be the little 180 00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:27.720 person in the back that just barks all the orders. 181 00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:33.200 Right, you will never be the little anything.

And of course in high school, like we're 185 00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:46.240 little pencils, you know, the cross country runners. 186 00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:47.519 I see him all the time. 187 00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:51.519 Yeah, yeah, that's Cedar Park kids. And this guy had 188 00:08:51.639 --> 00:08:55.320 just ballooned up. His shoulders were like what and he 189 00:08:55.519 --> 00:09:00.600 you know, he'd looked like a cartoon superhero, big broad shoulders, 190 00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:04.039 big chest, lean waist.

He does. 219 00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:23.360 Yeah, he's made a fortune in the internet after MTV. 220 00:10:25.639 --> 00:10:26.759 So yeah, Mark. 221 00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:29.919 Maren has he announced it on a recent show he 222 00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:33.480 had Mark He had John Mullaney on I think and 223 00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:38.159 he's he says he's wrapping it up this fall after 224 00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:42.320 sixteen years and sixteen hundred episodes. 225 00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:48.679 That's it. I mean, he's tired. What is he just? 226 00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:51.879 He's done well, here's here's a quote from the podcast. 227 00:10:51.919 --> 00:10:55.360 He said, it really comes down to the fact. Let 228 00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:57.639 me add to this. You may remember this about about 229 00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:02.480 uh Mark Maron. He really took off and made a 230 00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:07.120 name for himself when Obama was campaigning and went on 231 00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:07.840 his podcast. 232 00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:09.080 Do you remember that too? 233 00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:12.200 It's a big deal and is La Garage that's where 234 00:11:12.200 --> 00:11:13.759 we first heard about Mark Maron. 235 00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:16.120 Anywow, he's one of the top podcasters. 236 00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:18.320 But he said, it really comes down to the fact 237 00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:21.000 that we put up a new show every Monday and 238 00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:27.080 Thursday for almost sixteen years, and we're tired, we're burnt out. 239 00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:32.759 We weren't and we weren't utterly satisfied with the work 240 00:11:32.799 --> 00:11:37.320 we've done. We've done great work. Mark, doesn't This doesn't 241 00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:39.399 mean I'm never going to do something like this again. 242 00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:42.879 Doesn't mean I'll never have talks like I do here 243 00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:45.080 or some kind of podcast at some point in time. 244 00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:47.919 But for now, we're just wrapping things up. 245 00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:57.679 Because you're Mark. Listen, you do two shows a week's 246 00:11:57.840 --> 00:11:58.320 about an. 247 00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:02.240 Hour about an hour long. Hey, Mark, try doing it. 248 00:12:02.360 --> 00:12:05.879 Try slaving over a hot microphone for four hours a day, 249 00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:08.600 five days a week for thirty years. 250 00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:10.879 Let me tell you. Let me try that. 251 00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:11.840 Try that. 252 00:12:12.039 --> 00:12:15.440 Mark. You're tired doing two shows a week, give me 253 00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:16.120 the two. 254 00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:20.960 Let's do some quick math, all right, So each podcast 255 00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:25.000 is about an hour, right, Okay, So let's say, Jabe, 256 00:12:25.080 --> 00:12:26.840 let's just do some quick math and figure out how 257 00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:32.360 many hours of radio we've done in Austin. Yeh four hours. 258 00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:37.159 Let's say let's say forty let's say forty five weeks 259 00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:39.120 a year. And that's low, right, because what do we 260 00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:42.440 get about three weeks off every year back in the day, 261 00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:47.600 and so so thirty thirty years. I gotta do some 262 00:12:47.679 --> 00:12:50.120 quick math here, So it's twenty hours. Let's say twenty 263 00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:52.159 hours a week. I mean we did it. We did 264 00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:53.320 the show here eighteen years. 265 00:12:53.320 --> 00:12:56.080 But you and I at that point in ninety six, 266 00:12:56.159 --> 00:12:58.879 we had a good six years under our belt at least. 267 00:12:59.559 --> 00:12:59.879 Yeah. 268 00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:03.879 Yeah, so I'll say, so I'll do twenty hours a 269 00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:09.399 week times forty eight. Why am I doing it? By 270 00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:12.440 forty eight? Why am I doing o? Because that's no 271 00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:18.519 forty eight weeks zero zero one I'm doing something. I'm 272 00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:22.600 suck at math. Sorry, zero eight. So that's about that's 273 00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:28.639 conservatively nine hundred hours a year. That's dead. So in 274 00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:32.279 Mark Marin's world, that would be nine hundred shows a year, right, 275 00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:36.200 a year, Right, So let's take that times. Let's say 276 00:13:36.200 --> 00:13:42.120 thirty years, and we're at twenty seven thousand, twenty seven 277 00:13:42.399 --> 00:13:43.679 thousand hours. 278 00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:47.480 He's burnt out after sixteen, he's done it. 279 00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:48.039 Sixteen. 280 00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:53.039 Come on, Mark, don't you big wiener. 281 00:13:53.279 --> 00:13:56.759 Come on, it's not like it's not like you're putting 282 00:13:56.759 --> 00:13:58.840 a roof on a house, you know what I mean. 283 00:13:59.039 --> 00:14:02.240 You're in an eric and studio talking into a microphone. 284 00:14:02.600 --> 00:14:07.200 Well, it's funny too, because think about what he does 285 00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:11.519 versus what we've done in each given hour. We're doing 286 00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:15.480 all kinds of things. We're gathering news and stories and 287 00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:20.000 putting together games and entertainment and writing parodies, songs and 288 00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:25.399 doing appearances, all kinds of content. Right, he is doing 289 00:14:25.559 --> 00:14:29.879 a one on one interview where the guest carries seventy 290 00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:30.600 percent of. 291 00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:33.879 The show, exactly right, exactly. 292 00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:38.200 Right, he's showing up. It sounds like yeah, he's I mean, come. 293 00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:41.320 On, right, we're moving on to a new topic. Every 294 00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:45.000 ten to fifteen minutes, right, right, He's long. 295 00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:48.480 Form interviews are easy in comparison. 296 00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:50.360 Right, especially got a great guest, Right, you've a great 297 00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:52.080 guest that tells great stories. All you do is sit 298 00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:54.879 there and listen and try and stay out of the way. Yep, right, 299 00:14:55.279 --> 00:14:58.799 let them tell it.

Yeah, it was. 343 00:16:56.759 --> 00:16:58.600 People were kind of laughing at it at that time. 344 00:16:58.639 --> 00:16:59.519 I was one of them. 345 00:16:59.679 --> 00:17:01.799 Yeah, and then he did that Obama thing and it 346 00:17:01.919 --> 00:17:04.880 just like that was a real pivotal moment for him. 347 00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:06.359 Yeah, everyone's got. 348 00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:11.200 A podcast now, everyone one.

So I don't know 381 00:18:31.839 --> 00:18:33.359 what we're gonna well, well, I don't know what we're 382 00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:36.400 gonna do just to look at each other. Trician knows. 383 00:18:38.839 --> 00:18:41.720 What's your plan? What have you even talked about it? 384 00:18:42.039 --> 00:18:46.240 Well, the first night she's gone, that Landry is gone, 385 00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:49.079 she hung out, Sandy hung out with you. 386 00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:50.960 Jb uh. 387 00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:56.480 Yeah, right, okay, so that was first.

No? 390 00:19:01.839 --> 00:19:04.640 I mean, when when we became empty masters, I couldn't 391 00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:07.720 wait for just to be walking around the house naked. 392 00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:10.599 All the time. You're joking, but it's true. 393 00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:16.480 But then when when your wife quits acknowledging that you're naked. 394 00:19:16.680 --> 00:19:17.640 You just kind of stopped. 395 00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:18.359 Yeah. 396 00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:21.000 Yeah, I walked by her naked and she doesn't even 397 00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:22.319 check it out. 398 00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:24.880 I'm like, Sandy did that to me.
