Speaker 5: see if we smash some headboards. Dude, there's not a

Speaker 3: Yeah, rid of the head boards.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Christina, you missed an opportunity to change
Speaker 5: your band's name to Oakmont Pizza in honor of the
Speaker 5: US Open. That'd have been great. Just this past weekend,

Speaker 5: hear enough golf jokes in my life, do you not.
Speaker 5: That's very sarcastic. That's oh my gosh, she's been sarcastic.
Speaker 5: That's about par for the course. We have the Benetskin
Speaker 5: Way Back Machine. We're gonna get it cranked up today.
Speaker 5: And actually I think we're going to go back. It's
Speaker 5: not even been in skin. We're gonna go back. Look
Speaker 5: at OJ right, of course, because thirty one years thirty
Speaker 5: one years ago today was the OJ Chase in honor
Speaker 5: of Jet. I need to ask you if you can
Speaker 5: grab this Ziggy audio. I didn't ask for this before
Speaker 5: the show, and I apologize. This is Ziggy when we
Speaker 5: were playing Fortnite and he how do you describe that audio?
Speaker 5: It was an ecstatic moment where his emotions climaxed while
Speaker 5: he was watching you. Okay, so we're playing Fortnite. He's
Speaker 5: on my team and there was one guy left and
Speaker 5: I'm the worst player in my team, and so all
Speaker 5: I had to do was kill one guy for our
Speaker 5: team to win. All my other teammates were dead, and
Speaker 5: so they were telling me, and you remember Shooter mcswagen
Speaker 5: had the crazy yeah, and so they're like, he's over there,
Speaker 5: he's over there, Go get him, Go get him.
Speaker 3: And then when I got him, it was there was
Speaker 3: a moment of ultimate satisfaction.
Speaker 5: Yeah, dude. In particular for Ziggy. Yeah, he had to
Speaker 5: immediately go clean his hands because his controller was dirty.
Speaker 3: One, okay, just good a shot. No way.
Speaker 4: More on Shooter. He's gotta shoddy. He's over here.
Speaker 5: So we had Ziggy, were you trying to celebrate? But
Speaker 5: there was kids asleep? And he was like no.
Speaker 3: I'm like, well, how does that make sense that you're
Speaker 3: going that's his normal sound of the highest form of joy?
Speaker 5: All right, Well that was a long time ago. I
Speaker 5: don't play Fortnite now. I play Call of Duty. Oh yeah,
Speaker 5: god God. I play war Zone. I play version five
Speaker 5: of COD I played the Witch. I played war Zone casual.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 5: In casual mode, there's supposed to be bots, so it's
Speaker 5: supposed to be a little bit easier. It's just little
Speaker 5: robots ring around that are easy to kill. No shame
Speaker 5: in my game, I don't care. I'll kill a butt.
Speaker 5: But I played with some guys who are really really
Speaker 5: good Doctor Pepper Hickson, Yep, and Cole. Those man right,
Speaker 5: always whipping up a fantastic mixer feast every Christmas time.
Speaker 3: Cole actually served on a nuclear submarine.
Speaker 5: That was his job. He was in the military, and
Speaker 5: so he was. He's spent his entire career, so he's
Speaker 5: seen a crazy ivan. So he probably has seen a crazy.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 5: And so you know he actually is military. He's not
Speaker 5: in the military now. But and so anyways, we're playing
Speaker 5: this game and we stumbled across something the other night,
Speaker 5: and thank god Hickson got audio it because now I'm
Speaker 5: going to bring you guys new audio with me. We
Speaker 5: stumbled across a guy. What you're going to hear is
Speaker 5: a little bit of chaos. Always sounds like chaos when
Speaker 5: you're listening to a video game that you couldn't see,
Speaker 5: So you'll hear all the shooting and all the top
Speaker 5: sucking and stuff. Initially, our team kills a guy, hell yeah,
Speaker 5: and then we move over to a tent. All four
Speaker 5: of us are in a tent and we kill another guy.
Speaker 5: And when we kill that guy, there's this thing called
Speaker 5: proximity colms, so you can hear the person you kill,
Speaker 5: you can hear what they're saying to their team. Nice,
Speaker 5: so we can hear what this guy is saying as
Speaker 5: we kill him.
Speaker 3: I like it.
Speaker 5: And he is communicating back to his team, and clearly
Speaker 5: he is pretending to be in the military. Okay, okay,
Speaker 5: because I wanted to listen the way that he ends
Speaker 5: his correspondence.
Speaker 3: Right on first killed, he said, don't do it, guys,
Speaker 3: don't do it now.
Speaker 7: Well, guys.
Speaker 3: Over, did you hear what he said? Four guys by
Speaker 3: the tent over? He said over?
Speaker 5: He is communicating with his team, and you have to
Speaker 5: assume that each person on that team is going, all right,
Speaker 5: I'm gonna run over here to this bystation over.
Speaker 3: I think there's a guy up on top of that
Speaker 3: building over. This is why I support legalized prostitution. You
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. I don't want that. You know
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. That guy needs to have an outlet.
Speaker 6: I think, so, Ben, you don't know who this person is.
Speaker 5: So it's a stranger that we killed in the game.
Speaker 5: He was communicating back to his team, but he punctuated
Speaker 5: each communication like the military would on a walkie talking
Speaker 5: by saying over.
Speaker 3: Yeah, over.
Speaker 7: I think this is a famous streamer because we've watched
Speaker 7: videos of this guy pop in and.
Speaker 6: He does the boy like he's a famous guy.
Speaker 7: He says over and he talks like he's actually in.
Speaker 5: I would love it on the show, But all we
Speaker 5: do now is say over on everything. We say, Hey,
Speaker 5: I gotta take a break, Grab a glass water over under.
Speaker 7: My favorite is clear Cooms. Michael said, out a lot, Hey,
Speaker 7: clear Coms, clear.
Speaker 3: Coms, clear Cobs, clear Combs.
Speaker 5: They can hear what I'm saying, so clear coms it.
Speaker 3: It kind of just reminds me of the time we
Speaker 3: played Dungeons and Dragons with Travis Frederick.
Speaker 5: Frederick turned into a dwarf all of this. So that's fun.
Speaker 5: All right, We are off and running. Coming up next.
Speaker 5: What are some things you're tracking? Skin over?
Speaker 3: Coming up next?
Speaker 5: Ben Kyrie Irving did what thirty one years ago today
Speaker 5: that that oj you know situation happened where he tried
Speaker 5: to get away.
Speaker 3: What was it?
Speaker 5: The he's in the bronco, he's evading police, he's threatening
Speaker 5: to harm himself and just the chaos that ensued that
Speaker 5: thirty one years ago. Today, we'll crank up the wayback
Speaker 5: machine and take a listen to some of that audio
Speaker 5: coming up here in just about ten minutes.
Speaker 3: But right now it's time for this juicys. God, every
Speaker 3: stay on the top in the shove before we get
Speaker 3: to some movie news that would is gonna get Ben
Speaker 3: going and get him all bricked up over there our hell,
Speaker 3: Remember we deal r Kelly update last week, told you
Speaker 3: the Nazis were coming after him in the jail, and
Speaker 3: so he was saying, well, he's now doubling down on
Speaker 3: his claim that his life is engraved danger in prison.
Speaker 3: He's now claiming, through his lawyer, who sounds like a
Speaker 3: Jerry Jones lawyer, Bo Brindley, that he has been left
Speaker 3: bed ridden in a hospital after someone from the solitary
Speaker 3: confinement staff instructed him to take additional medication to what
Speaker 3: he was already taking, and that he almost had an
Speaker 3: overdose and he fainted and fell on the floor, crawled
Speaker 3: to the door of the jail cell and then lost
Speaker 3: consciousness and nearly died. Jerry Junior, get Bob Brinley on
Speaker 3: the phone, so you know whatever, we'll see we'll see
Speaker 3: member Kelly give follow up, quick follow up. You know
Speaker 3: what this reminds me of?
Speaker 5: Are you guys familiar with the i'l be sure story
Speaker 5: in regards to Diddy. No, I'll be sure as a
Speaker 5: legendary R and B guy from mining Ben's high school
Speaker 5: years into the nineties, huge famous sex symbol, all this stuff.
Speaker 5: He says that he was working with Diddy and then
Speaker 5: got sideways with him and Diddy poisoned him, and then
Speaker 5: he had a stroke and almost died, and so it
Speaker 5: wasn't it. It wasn't until all this stuff came out.
Speaker 5: Then now he's like, I'll be sure vindicated. So it's
Speaker 5: like kind of but I haven't heard any of it
Speaker 5: involved in the trial, but I'll be sure. Got real,
Speaker 5: like you could follow it on Instagram. He got real
Speaker 5: real sick, was in the hospital and he was claiming
Speaker 5: that Diddy poisoned him.
Speaker 3: So this is big for sly Stone and Brian Wilson
Speaker 3: because if Mark Kelly goes next, yeah, as the next
Speaker 3: famous musician. And always remember remember that that week in
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five when we lost three music icons sly Stone,
Speaker 3: Brian Wilson and the guy who wrote the remix to Ignition,
Speaker 3: So who are the guys that your ignition sucks? You
Speaker 3: need to time.
Speaker 5: His passing and Diddy's passing and then one other is
Speaker 5: there another CD person? Yeah, like somebody because if r
Speaker 5: Kelly's rather than have one guy who's got a CD
Speaker 5: background tainting the other two on their way into the
Speaker 5: Pearly gates, you don't want, you know, you want a
Speaker 5: grouping of three guys who've done some terrible things.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they've all done a lot of drugs,
Speaker 3: so we're good there. It's just I think it's the
Speaker 3: it's the urination here. Yeah, it really takes it way worse,
Speaker 3: and maybe a couple other things.
Speaker 5: Really the Urination remix, that's a great drop where you
Speaker 5: go it's the urination and she goes, yeah, let's get
Speaker 5: been revved up here.
Speaker 3: So there was been a bit of a scuttle bit
Speaker 3: about Top Gun three. Yeah, I felt like what Top
Speaker 3: Gun Maverick could be kind of maybe maybe it went
Speaker 3: off the you could ride off into the sunset. But
Speaker 3: then they're like, well, top Gun three, there's no more
Speaker 3: mission impossibles to make. Yeah, right, And the movie insiders
Speaker 3: are like, oh it sounds this sounds like it's gonna
Speaker 3: be bad. The script doesn't sound good. Well, they've changed
Speaker 3: up the script, and here's what the director says. He
Speaker 3: says this.
Speaker 5: Wait wait, wait is it the same director who did
Speaker 5: the last one and just did Mission Impossible?
Speaker 3: The guy that I met?
Speaker 5: Did McCrory do the guy that no one cared about
Speaker 5: talking to? Wait, Christopher McCrory did Top Gun?
Speaker 3: Mavericke? Yeah, oh that's cool. Okay, guy named Kasinski because
Speaker 3: he did the movie. Kasinski did F one. Huh he
Speaker 3: did more on F one. I saw F one last night.
Speaker 3: We'll get to the dats on that at four forty.
Speaker 3: I love the idea of the Union Bomber doing all
Speaker 3: these action flicks. Uh no, so this guy is a
Speaker 3: different guy. And here's what Kasinski said. That the idea,
Speaker 3: the reason that he's excited about this is it feels
Speaker 3: like a new challenge and the idea behind Top Gun
Speaker 3: three is so ambitious, and that's what's exciting them to do,
Speaker 3: even though they've all acknowledged the perfect way to go
Speaker 3: out was Top Gun Maverick.
Speaker 5: Okay, so Tom Cruise, actually, since he does his own stunts,
Speaker 5: he does go to Mars.
Speaker 3: It has to be a space thing or underwater. That's
Speaker 3: the only what you just did underwater? He did underwater. Okay,
Speaker 3: he stops there. He stops the volcano from exploding with
Speaker 3: ludicrous and they fly into space in a car. They gotta
Speaker 3: fly the plane into the volcano.
Speaker 6: Okay.
Speaker 5: Ben Stiller is the one who stops the volcanoes in
Speaker 5: Scorcher Scorcher series.
Speaker 3: I never saw Scorches.
Speaker 5: You never saw Scorcher. H huh, you didn't see it.
Speaker 5: I'll send you the trailer for it. He was in
Speaker 5: the there were several of them. I think there was
Speaker 5: like five Scorcher movies.
Speaker 3: Are you serious? You guys didn't see these, never even
Speaker 3: heard of it? I do you guys haven't seen I'll
Speaker 3: send you the movies. I'll send you the trailers for him. Yeah.
Speaker 3: All the stuff our chain is getting tugged on right now. Okay,
Speaker 3: tug either way. Top gun Maverick good ninety nine percent,
Speaker 3: audience score, ninety six critics score. Stay tuned later in
Speaker 3: the show because Christina saw the latest Kasinski Zinsky gig
Speaker 3: f one last night with Brad Pitt. We'll get the
Speaker 3: full review and a bit.

Speaker 5: Skin Show ninety seven point one. The Eagle looking forward
Speaker 5: to Christina Baby Cornbread k Ray Ray Ray's review of
Speaker 5: F one, the new Brad Pitt movie. It's not coming
Speaker 5: out for a couple of weeks, but she saw it.
Speaker 5: She'll have the review for you coming up here at
Speaker 5: four thirty or so. But right now it's time for this.
Speaker 3: It's time to go into the biting schedule. Warburg, June seventeenth,
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety four was a crazy day for a lot
Speaker 3: of different reasons. There's a whole documentary on this. I
Speaker 3: think it's on Netflix now, but it was an ESPN
Speaker 3: thirty for thirty years ago. It's fantastic and it's really good.
Speaker 3: But there's a lot of things that happened on that
Speaker 3: day that, you know, get overshadowed by the fact that
Speaker 3: the OJ Chase happened on this day. One of them
Speaker 3: was the Nicks rockets. Yeah. So, like, here's the first
Speaker 3: thing I gonna say, is that earlier than that, that day,
Speaker 3: in the daytime, the first ever World Cup ever held
Speaker 3: in America kicked off at Chicago at Soldierville. I don't
Speaker 3: think I remembered that.
Speaker 5: I mean I remember all that happening, But I remember
Speaker 5: it being the same day.
Speaker 3: And we have not hosted a World Cup since then.
Speaker 3: We will be doing that in three hundred and fifty
Speaker 3: nine days.
Speaker 5: Okay, So, which famous former athlete is going to commit
Speaker 5: a murder and ruin the next World Cup?
Speaker 3: Who's the OJ of now? Right? Antonio Brown, Emmitt Smith Day,
Speaker 3: I'm kidding. I was just thinking of running backs who
Speaker 3: are really good? Who's running backers that's acting as in
Speaker 3: the media. Oh, Marshawn, Come on, man, I think we
Speaker 3: should just stop while we're at move on, casey yep?
Speaker 3: I like to move on?
Speaker 6: Uh huh.
Speaker 3: So then also happy that day, the New York Rangers
Speaker 3: are celebrating the Conley Cup parade with Wayne Gretzky. They're
Speaker 3: having a big time out there, World Cup, Stanley Cup.
Speaker 8: Bro.
Speaker 3: Meanwhile, at Oakmont, where the US Open was this week
Speaker 3: with our winner JJ spawn, Arnold Palmer is crying and
Speaker 3: waving goodbye to everyone on Sunday afternoon because it's his
Speaker 3: final US Open. He retired during OJ Kilton the US
Speaker 3: Open at sixty five, you got to qualify, and he
Speaker 3: was qualify clearly. So he was sixty four years old.
Speaker 3: It was his final US Open. He's just standing there
Speaker 3: drinking a tea and lemonade. So you have all these
Speaker 3: things happening. And then we get to game five, Nixon
Speaker 3: rockets and I remember being on my couch, you know,
Speaker 3: and it breaks in. This is a father's day too, right,
Speaker 3: And it breaks in? Was this, Yes on NBC? It
Speaker 3: breaks in because it's NBC is a huge network, and
Speaker 3: here we go, which, by the way, if NBA is
Speaker 3: going to NBC, like NBC will have the finals next year, right,
Speaker 3: I think, so, so what if something happens, they have
Speaker 3: to break in. They are a news network. They're a
Speaker 3: major news network like UESPN had to break into anything, right,
Speaker 3: Like I remember being a kid being when Saturday Night
Speaker 3: Live got broken into because Princess Diana died, and I'm like,
Speaker 3: who cares show me my sketches? Like NBC's got to
Speaker 3: do that. MAVs are in the finals, game seven and
Speaker 3: someone gets shot. We got to zoom in, and they've
Speaker 3: got a bit of a quagmire on their hands.
Speaker 5: Well they can they also, though they have so many networks,
Speaker 5: they can say if you want to watch this, turnover
Speaker 5: to blah.
Speaker 3: Blah, go download Peacock right, But the OJ yoga. Do
Speaker 3: you guys remember any of this when it was going
Speaker 3: down Sunday night when you guys are probably hanging out
Speaker 3: night we.
Speaker 5: Went to we went and performed that we had a
Speaker 5: rap show though, Oh wow, yeah in the West End
Speaker 5: that I think that one Ben was in Deep Elm
Speaker 5: and I think, for whatever reason, there was something happening
Speaker 5: at Bomb Factory because I remember Cole Chris freestyling and
Speaker 5: actually rhyming about the chase.
Speaker 3: I can actually look it up on my setlist FM
Speaker 3: who was playing at the Bomb Factory June seventeenth, nineteen
Speaker 3: ninety four. Do it. There's no guarantee that we're going
Speaker 3: to come up with what we need here, but I
Speaker 3: can look it up. I can at least try. Is
Speaker 3: that all of me? I mean, like you, I guess
Speaker 3: you guys were you weren't have phones? You can just
Speaker 3: text someone what's going on? No, we were like twenty
Speaker 3: three years old, probably six. That was confused.
Speaker 6: That was four. I had no idea it was.
Speaker 5: It was insane, man, because you had been watching it
Speaker 5: unfold all afternoon like it you know, it started earlier
Speaker 5: in the day, and then also it was happening in California,
Speaker 5: So it was still daylight there when it was dark here.
Speaker 3: But okay, so the murder happened, not the murder happened
Speaker 3: days before. Have you not? Have you watched any of
Speaker 3: these documentaries. I've just watched the big one on that day.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I've watched so many documentaries on this.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the the and there's different aspects of it. If
Speaker 5: the one you're talking about, the thirty for thirty was
Speaker 5: the first one, it's really more about how that's the
Speaker 5: advent of twenty four hour media coverage. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 5: this OJ case pretty much turned the what is it?
Speaker 3: Court TV? Into a viable product. This was it.
Speaker 5: It's just a different era, but it there's no there's
Speaker 5: no internet, so it just dominated everything on every network.
Speaker 5: And so there was days leading up to it where
Speaker 5: there was chatter about what was going on. You're like, oh,
Speaker 5: j no, way, that's weird. And then suddenly the chase
Speaker 5: is happening. This is the anniversary of the chase, right, Yes, Yeah,
Speaker 5: that's when everything went sideways. What do you mean sideways?
Speaker 5: Because there were days just now everyone's just tracking it. Yeah,
Speaker 5: there were days leading up to it. You we're like, wait,
Speaker 5: OJ's involved. What I don't know, man, this doesn't come on.
Speaker 5: And then when the police went to go get him,
Speaker 5: and he went on the Bronco chase that's where everyone's
Speaker 5: watching TV because he's saying he's going to commit suicide.
Speaker 5: He's got Ac in the back seat going I'm with OJ.
Speaker 5: He's got a gun to his head. And the way
Speaker 5: it all unfolded because it was on the heels of
Speaker 5: all the racial tension and everything, and it was like
Speaker 5: they were like, la PD was terrified of making a mistake. Yeah,
Speaker 5: and so the they were it was they were really
Speaker 5: worried about PR and so OJ's lure is like, he's
Speaker 5: going to turn himself in. It was Kardashian, right, Yeah,
Speaker 5: he's going to turn himself in, and which was unprecedent.
Speaker 5: If there's a warrning out for you for murder, they
Speaker 5: go get your ass. They're like, no, no, no, he's going
Speaker 5: to turn himself in. Yeah, And then he didn't. He
Speaker 5: just got it went on this chase instead of turned
Speaker 5: himself in, because that's what an innocent man does.
Speaker 3: Yeah. June seventeenth, nineteen ninety fourth, the bomb factory in
Speaker 3: Dallas was the counting Crows, not on the August and
Speaker 3: everything after tour? What a what a tour?
Speaker 4: There?
Speaker 3: Zero chance I remember there was some bar or something.
Speaker 5: There's some club in the West End that was doing
Speaker 5: stuff that we did stuff, and I thought we were there.
Speaker 3: Rockle Bowl might have been Numb might have been Bronco Bowl.
Speaker 3: Was Oak Cliff? Uh? There was a West End place
Speaker 3: and I can't was it Woodies? I think it was. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 3: maybe Woodies that night. Can you look that up? I'm
Speaker 3: looking it up. Yeah, I'm getting was on at the
Speaker 3: Woodies sports Bar. It's like Menace Greg Gory. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: those were the day. What a day though, thirty one
Speaker 3: years ago. Maybe we'll hear some more in the today game. Cool.
Speaker 5: All right, there you have it. That is the way
Speaker 5: back machine. Coming up next in a news quickie, harmless
Speaker 5: conspiracy theories.
Speaker 3: Let's take a look at some up neck give me
Speaker 3: that news quickie. Let's think about this. I've kind of
Speaker 3: been sitting on this for about a week or so.
Speaker 3: Something I found. It's kind of it's an article. It's
Speaker 3: about some harmless conspiracy theories of our time. Uh huh.
Speaker 3: Because there's a world where there were some really dangerous
Speaker 3: conspiracy theories, clearly, but about some harmless ones, and I
Speaker 3: thought this is kind of fun.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 3: One of them that they discussed this article was how
Speaker 3: Starbucks baristas were told to sometimes misspelled customers names so
Speaker 3: that they would post the photo on social media. Oh
Speaker 3: their Starbucks cup.
Speaker 5: So you know that's not a conspiracy theory, that's a
Speaker 5: marketing ploy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but Barney, but they called me Barry, you know,
Speaker 3: and yeah, there's the cup. It's interesting play smart and harmless,
Speaker 3: smart market Yeah, that's harmless, right, it's not her anybody
Speaker 3: Paul McCartney's dead.
Speaker 5: No, don't say that. That's not breaking news. It didn't
Speaker 5: hurt anybody though, But that was the idea. Like look
Speaker 5: at the album art, the way they're walking across that crowd,
Speaker 5: their barefoot Yeah you never knew that Paul McCartney died.
Speaker 9: Thing.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, there's a whole the cover of Abbey Road
Speaker 3: with that Abbey Road. What's the one where they're walking across.
Speaker 7: Abbey Road and that's the whole, Like I am the
Speaker 7: Wolrus song too is involved in that conspiracy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's why he is he barefoot?
Speaker 5: So but now it's like that couldn't exist in this
Speaker 5: day and age, because like, oh, I just saw him
Speaker 5: at a Starbucks.
Speaker 3: But it's it's the fake. He's been stuck with that forever.
Speaker 3: You can hear him anywhere you go. You just hear
Speaker 3: someone who makes sense. Another one is that Big Bread
Speaker 3: paid toaster manufacturers to put in a setting that's too
Speaker 3: high so that people would burn the toast and then
Speaker 3: they get to sell more bread. Unbelievable. I don't buy
Speaker 3: that one one. It seems a little far fetched. But
Speaker 3: why do you need the toaster to have that setting
Speaker 3: that's too high where you put it in and it
Speaker 3: already burns.
Speaker 5: They view the tools to make your own toast right now.
Speaker 5: I think you do it that way in case the
Speaker 5: bread is still a little frozen.
Speaker 3: Wait frozen bread free? Yeah, you're deeth on it. Speaking
Speaker 3: of Frozen, another harmless conspiracy theory, The reason Disney came
Speaker 3: out with a movie called Frozen is so that when
Speaker 3: you google Disney Frozen, it doesn't show Walt Disney anymore.
Speaker 3: It doesn't bring up the story of Walt Disney being
Speaker 3: And of course the story of Ted Williams Frozen Head
Speaker 3: comes into play here. Ya tunic cans all a wild
Speaker 3: story but it's true and Walt Disney was a Nazi.
Speaker 3: Wait really is that real? Internet bro? Oh, the Internet
Speaker 3: said that. Okay, just look it up.
Speaker 6: Don't ruin my childhood please.

Speaker 3: his family or their brand. It's or the guy that
Speaker 3: we know named Andrew Disney. Yeah, yeah, poor guy. Yeah,
Speaker 3: another harmless conspiracy theory. Christina, we have to go to
Speaker 3: you as the expert on this one. Women's pants pockets
Speaker 3: are significantly smaller than men's pants pockets to encourage women
Speaker 3: to buy handbags and purses.
Speaker 7: They are smaller. Some don't even have pockets, which is
Speaker 7: just mind blowing to me. Like why, like even back pockets.
Speaker 7: I have a pair of pants with no back pockets,
Speaker 7: so that couldn't make sense.
Speaker 3: I don't know, kat, You wear those rocky mountains with
Speaker 3: no pockets in the most two? Yeah, that can't find
Speaker 3: them anymore. Skin You said women don't need pockets because

Speaker 6: beginning of it too?
Speaker 5: It was we were sitting there in silence, and all
Speaker 5: of a sudden, he goes, you like those jeans?

Speaker 3: Yes, Coco cock, Coo cuckoo. So what's Cooper Flying doing
Speaker 3: in town? Just hanging out as you running some wind sprints?
Speaker 5: He's getting intel on the culture of the team. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I saw that he was gonna have a dinner with
Speaker 5: Nico and other members of the Maverick front office.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, is that right?
Speaker 5: So Finley will be there and maybe maybe old Matt McCarty.
Speaker 3: Standard pre draft interview bs because you know we're going
Speaker 3: to take him. So it's a little different.
Speaker 5: Maybe Rick welts, but if he if he Matt and
Speaker 5: says that if he didn't like the Mavericks too bad,
Speaker 5: he could go I'm coming, I'm going back to college
Speaker 5: and call I'll be back next year. I don't think
Speaker 5: he can pull out, and I can. I mean, we're can't.
Speaker 5: You can't pull now they pull out. Now we're barreling
Speaker 5: towards the baby at this point. But there haven't players
Speaker 5: who have manipulated where they've gone. I mean sure, there's
Speaker 5: no question the elephant in the room is going to
Speaker 5: be He's got every right to ask them what happened
Speaker 5: with Luca and old Nico has to say, is Luke
Speaker 5: at it and go to Duke. We have Kyrie Irving,
Speaker 5: we have Derek Lively, the second, we have you. We're
Speaker 5: we're building everything in the model of Skryzhevski. Yeah, and
Speaker 5: there's a rumor they're trying to get one more first
Speaker 5: round pick. Maybe they're trying to get the other Duke
Speaker 5: get that's going to be in the lottery.
Speaker 3: They all lottery because how many first round guys they have?
Speaker 5: Just okay, the lottery, dude, Yeah, that center I'm blanking
Speaker 5: on his name.
Speaker 3: That's stupid. Athletic is considered mid to late lottery.
Speaker 5: Okay, but what do you think they'd be looking for
Speaker 5: to get moved back into if they wanted another.
Speaker 3: Pick, playmaker of some kind. Well, what about that Florida guard.
Speaker 3: I think he's the second round pick. I could be wrong.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but you know it's it's if you look at
Speaker 5: how aggressive they've been on draft day since Nico has
Speaker 5: been here. I mean they they moved up to get
Speaker 5: Jaden Hardy, they moved up to get Derek Lively. The
Speaker 5: second they added Omax, They've they've gotten after it on
Speaker 5: draft day, just like Kevin Costner.
Speaker 3: Yeah right, he didn't get after it. It was a questionable process,
Speaker 3: but he got old. Jennifer Garner Man. His movie sucks, Horizon.
Speaker 3: It sucks so bad. To watch a little bit of
Speaker 3: it the other day.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna I'm gonna jump in on the third one
Speaker 5: when it comes on. It's bad because I want him
Speaker 5: go later in the timeline. Third one's gonna get made.
Speaker 3: I don't think it is either interesting. So Game five
Speaker 3: was last night? Could you watch it? I watched it
Speaker 3: kind of had like side attention on it. We were
Speaker 3: watching TV. I'm like, you know, watching some shows, then
Speaker 3: slat over the little TV just kind of have an
Speaker 3: eye on it, and then when it got to ninety
Speaker 3: five ninety three, my focus was over there. Did you
Speaker 3: put the hose in shows last night?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 4: Not really.
Speaker 3: I don't know what that means. Yep, but I really
Speaker 3: thought the Pacers were going to do it last night
Speaker 3: because they've just been doing it, and then they absolutely
Speaker 3: did not do it.
Speaker 5: Did I hear this correctly? Haliburton did not record a
Speaker 5: madefield goal. He got hurt four points. Yeah, Oh, he
Speaker 5: got hurt, So he missed a bunch of the game. Yeah,
Speaker 5: and he just and when he played he wasn't He
Speaker 5: has some sort of strain And that's the big story
Speaker 5: going in.
Speaker 3: I mean, it feels like it's over. Yeah.
Speaker 5: Again, it was a lot like Game one, except the
Speaker 5: Pacers one that they had a bunch of turnovers. Man,
Speaker 5: they had the best third quarter TJ. McConnell could possibly
Speaker 5: roll out and it got tight. But yeah, So one
Speaker 5: of the things I was going in, I was thinking
Speaker 5: about going into the series is how much of a
Speaker 5: badass is Jalen Williams or is he overrated? Is he
Speaker 5: just an All Star because he was the second best
Speaker 5: player on the best team, far and away the best team?
Speaker 5: I think he answered in this series and especially last night.
Speaker 3: He good. Do you have forty last night? Yeah? He good?
Speaker 3: The twelfth player, Yeah, he's really good.
Speaker 5: And uh I think Shay now has ten consecutive thirty
Speaker 5: point home playoff games.
Speaker 3: Think about that. Not getting it done in game four
Speaker 3: is it'll No, They'll take it to their grave.
Speaker 5: I want to their graves. I hate Okase. I want
Speaker 5: them to win. I just if where it impacts the Mavericks.
Speaker 5: I think it helps the Mavericks at OKC is not
Speaker 5: as hungry next year. I thought about that last night.
Speaker 5: I thought about you saying that you know what they
Speaker 5: could do after winning this title, then trade for Giannis
Speaker 5: or Kevin d Think about that, think about adding that
Speaker 5: to the mix. Would Johnnys want to do that? He
Speaker 5: saw what happened to Katie. Katy got scorched for going
Speaker 5: to Golden State. Man, it sounds like Yannas ain't leaving Milwaukee.
Speaker 5: It sounds like he has not sos for that. Hope
Speaker 5: he stays there. I do too, stay there forever? Yeah, jerks,
Speaker 5: that thing because I'm all Orlando all the time. Hell yeah,
Speaker 5: that's my East Coast team, that's my Eastern Conference team.
Speaker 3: I love Jamal Mosley. They traded for t Rex the
Speaker 3: other day.
Speaker 5: Did y'all see that video of Jamal Moseley and Desmond
Speaker 5: Baine dapping. No, so that's a video of the Magic
Speaker 5: put out and mos Because we've talked about this, Moses
Speaker 5: friends with everybody in the league.
Speaker 3: Everybody adores him.
Speaker 5: He dapts Desmond Bine so hard that Kevin Durant retweeted
Speaker 5: it and said the dap heard in Memphis. It's kind
Speaker 5: of saying, hey, look at all this love Memphis. Anyways,
Speaker 5: I'm excited about the Magic. I love their team already,
Speaker 5: but they're going to be good, especially if Kyrie's got
Speaker 5: everyone listening to Luke Bryan in the locker room. I
Speaker 5: might just need to be a Magic fan.
Speaker 3: And you're you're.
Speaker 5: Mainly a MAVs guy, but you do look like a
Speaker 5: guy who dabbles in the magic I do. Man, I'm
Speaker 5: gonna chase butting your type, all right. Coming up next,
Speaker 5: Christina is gonna give us a movie review. Christina, what
Speaker 5: movie are you gonna tell us about? And how do
Speaker 5: you want to tease this?
Speaker 4: F one?
Speaker 6: The movie with Brad pitt.
Speaker 3: The Stick, the Giant, Tickle, the movies.
Speaker 7: So last night I got to see a pre screening
Speaker 7: of the new Formula one movie with Brad Pitts just
Speaker 7: called F one. But before I get into the movie,
Speaker 7: I have to tell you all the guy next to me.
Speaker 7: So this is a press screening, it's packed, right, so
Speaker 7: we're forced to sit by strangers, sit by a stranger. Gross,
Speaker 7: And as soon as the lights go out, this guy
Speaker 7: next to me takes his shoes off, oh and foot
Speaker 7: up on his knee facing me.
Speaker 3: Oh god, And I just.
Speaker 6: Look at it.
Speaker 7: I'm like, and I throw my hands up. I don't
Speaker 7: say anything, and I lean over to Mike.
Speaker 6: I'm like, this guy just took his and shoes off.
Speaker 3: Was it Evan Grant?
Speaker 6: No, it was. It wasn't Evan Grant. But that's disgusting.
Speaker 3: I agree. But if these movies you're going to be
Speaker 3: two hours and forty minutes long, get ready for some
Speaker 3: shoes to Is that how long this thing?
Speaker 6: It was two and a half.
Speaker 3: All right, sounds like it was good.
Speaker 7: Okay, let me say okay, So yes, it was two
Speaker 7: and a half, but it's action packed the whole time.
Speaker 7: It goes pretty like there's no slow moments in this
Speaker 7: fel felt like two hours and twenty two minutes.
Speaker 6: Yeah, if somebody, you know.
Speaker 5: If somebody forces their dirty sock on you, and that
Speaker 5: it's a you're free to just start farting on them, right, Yeah,
Speaker 5: you can actually fish it out and just set it
Speaker 5: on top of their foot if you want.
Speaker 7: I mean, I don't know what the right action is
Speaker 7: to do in that situation, but I, you know.
Speaker 3: Try to say something.
Speaker 6: I ignored it. I don't know. I leaned closer to Mike.
Speaker 3: I just like he took his shoe off.
Speaker 5: Yes, you say, hey, put your shoe back on, or
Speaker 5: move to another seat.
Speaker 3: I would.
Speaker 5: I just come on, Ernie, why are you doing that
Speaker 5: to Ernie? But I that's why I wear adult diapers. Yeah,
Speaker 5: it's not that I have to have him, but it's
Speaker 5: for convenience. And then finally when you need you know,
Speaker 5: turd warfare. Yeah, because then you you just fill that
Speaker 5: diaper up and you just sit there and bake in
Speaker 5: your own stink and make him live in it. And
Speaker 5: now if he goes off and goes and puts his
Speaker 5: shoes on, he moves to a different seat. Then you
Speaker 5: go to the family bathroom and change your diaper. Yeah,
Speaker 5: that's a good plan.
Speaker 3: It's fantastic.
Speaker 5: Okay, let me ask you this though, Why wouldn't you
Speaker 5: do this? Why wouldn't you pull out your phone and
Speaker 5: start recording? Go, you're not gonna believe this, Internet and
Speaker 5: all the people on my radio show, this person right
Speaker 5: here took their shoe off in a theater.
Speaker 3: Here's what they look like. Not a jerk. Well it's
Speaker 3: not a jerk. The jerk is a guy that took
Speaker 3: his shoe off. Yeah.
Speaker 7: It's a pre screening, so we weren't allowed to have
Speaker 7: our phones out.
Speaker 3: Oh that's why he did it.
Speaker 7: So yeah, I would have been kicked out, and I
Speaker 7: really wanted to see this movie.
Speaker 5: Well, while you're getting kicked out and say no, put
Speaker 5: my phone away, just make that guy put his shoe
Speaker 5: back on.
Speaker 6: Yeah, anyway, I.
Speaker 3: Can't sid did that? I start?
Speaker 7: So the movie I started out kind of in a
Speaker 7: bad movie because his guy with his stinky foot right
Speaker 7: in my face, but horrible.
Speaker 6: The movie starts.
Speaker 7: There's I don't want to give away what song starts,
Speaker 7: but it put me back in a really really good mood.
Speaker 7: As soon as the movie starts Foreigner, I didn't say anything.
Speaker 7: I didn't say anything. And so the guy I mentioned
Speaker 7: this earlier, the guy that directed this film is the
Speaker 7: same guy that directed Top Gun Maverick. And it is
Speaker 7: literally the same storyline, same everything, except it's Brad Pitt
Speaker 7: and it's with.
Speaker 6: F one Formula one. I'm not kidding.
Speaker 3: So a better actor and the same story, then you're
Speaker 3: gonna love this movie.
Speaker 7: It's no, it's it's fun, it's easy to follow along.
Speaker 7: There were a few moments. I don't consider myself like
Speaker 7: a Formula one snob, but I've you know, I've been
Speaker 7: lucky enough to go to some races and I watch
Speaker 7: it every weekend.
Speaker 3: I can you're the only person I know that's been
Speaker 3: to a Formula one race.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's it's awesome.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 7: So there were a few things that happened in the
Speaker 7: movie that irritated me because I'm like, there is no
Speaker 7: way that they would let this happen in an actual
Speaker 7: Formula in race. And then after story is like Christina,
Speaker 7: it's a.
Speaker 6: Movie, like what do you.
Speaker 7: Want some indie film on Formula one where they're just
Speaker 7: talking the whole time.
Speaker 6: No, you don't.
Speaker 7: You need action, suspension of belief, you need drama.
Speaker 6: And really it's all.
Speaker 7: And so we saw it in Imax and it was
Speaker 7: incredible because they have like there's some points where it's
Speaker 7: like you're in the car. You feel like you're in
Speaker 7: the car because they have it, you know, on the
Speaker 7: track and you feel like you're going two hundred miles
Speaker 7: an hour and you can hear all the cars going
Speaker 7: by you and everything. And so I really it's really
Speaker 7: a fun movie. And Brad Pitt takes his shirt off.
Speaker 6: A lot and he's still has abs somehow.
Speaker 3: How old is he sixty? Right? Does he go to
Speaker 3: sixty one?
Speaker 6: Sixty? He looks incredible?
Speaker 5: Does he go full Tyler Durdon? That'd be cool if
Speaker 5: the Tyler Durdon character.
Speaker 7: No, but there's there is one scene where he's like
Speaker 7: lying shirtless on a couch and I'm like, I wouldn't
Speaker 7: mind that poster.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeahja your bardam this movie.
Speaker 7: Sounds Yes, yes, he is the owner. Do you want
Speaker 7: the premise? The premise is out there.
Speaker 5: Did he have one of those guns it's just like
Speaker 5: a pipe gun that kills cals?
Speaker 10: No?
Speaker 3: Is he a Spanish team owner.
Speaker 7: Yes, okay, so he's the owner of this team that
Speaker 7: is doing poorly an F one, and so he goes
Speaker 7: he finds Brad Pitt, who was a Formula one driver
Speaker 7: over a decade ago. Course, and somehow he's just allowed
Speaker 7: to come back in and start driving again and try
Speaker 7: to save the team and also try to help out
Speaker 7: the other rookie driver that's on the team, because Formula
Speaker 7: one there's two drivers.
Speaker 5: And let me guess, he's cocky and he's a wild card,
Speaker 5: and you know he can't be tamed.
Speaker 7: Gotta watch the moviescan to find out. But what's another
Speaker 7: fun thing about this is so in Formula one you
Speaker 7: have a teammate, but you're still like racing against that teammate,
Speaker 7: like each person wants to win, but you also have
Speaker 7: to try to be a team together.
Speaker 6: So there's that anyway, So I really liked it. This
Speaker 6: is good. It's a good fun movie.
Speaker 3: Tomorrow, I've got a list is the twenty eight best
Speaker 3: auto racing movies, including a John Travolta movie that gets
Speaker 3: zero percent. Oh oh, oh, it's a boat racing movie. Tomorrow.
Speaker 5: Okay, he's a boat racer in the let's do this
Speaker 5: right now. So we have this, so there's twenty eight
Speaker 5: of them. I will set the higher lower bar for
Speaker 5: the Kenny Rogers Movie six Pack. I'll set it at
Speaker 5: number nine auto racing movies. It's an auto racing movie, Kevin.
Speaker 5: So I'll set the Kenny Rogers Movie six Pack at nineteen.
Speaker 5: I think it's also got Diane Cannon in it. Oh
Speaker 5: my god, I'll say it comes in at number nineteen.
Speaker 5: Let's go watch that tonight. I'll take you to an
Speaker 5: Imax and we'll watch it.
Speaker 3: All right, There you have it.
Speaker 5: There is a badass movie review from Pristina k Raid
Speaker 5: Little Baby corn Bread ray f one with Brad Pitt.
Speaker 3: All right, Yeah, I find some stuff like this sometimes
Speaker 3: and sometimes it's not good, but sometimes it is. Because
Speaker 3: I was reading to this and I was triggered by
Speaker 3: a few of these things. Top ten things that stress
Speaker 3: people out the most.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, hold on, everybody, think what your number one
Speaker 5: thing is because these are common things, right.
Speaker 3: Because it's get your heart racing a little bit.
Speaker 5: Yeah, write down what you think, just for you, what
Speaker 5: is the most common thing that happens that stresses you out?
Speaker 5: And we'll see if it's on the list. Maybe we
Speaker 5: have the same thing.
Speaker 3: Right, that's part of the fun.
Speaker 7: Okay, thanks for narrating all that one you're writing.
Speaker 3: Okay, good, Okay, it's a good drop.
Speaker 6: It's filling the silence.
Speaker 3: Number four part of the complete Yeah. Number ten, when
Speaker 3: they see someone that they don't want to talk to.
Speaker 3: Oh god, yeah, sorry, ururettes kicked in.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I don't know that that stresses me out, but maybe
Speaker 5: it is stress. It certainly can cause anxiety, right, and
Speaker 5: that's all part of that emotion.
Speaker 7: It is more anxiety. I just don't like going out.
Speaker 7: I don't like talking to people in general, you know.
Speaker 7: And so when I go out and I see people,
Speaker 7: I'm like, yeah, I don't really want to I want
Speaker 7: to have a conversation.
Speaker 5: My wife is screwed because my wife is so introverted. Yeah,
Speaker 5: now Ben knows this, like and y'all know this. Y'all
Speaker 5: know my wife, if she knows you, she enjoys hanging out,
Speaker 5: but like, she does not want to be anywhere. And
Speaker 5: I'm I have no inhibitions on that sort of thing
Speaker 5: at all. I'll go talk to just about anybody. It's fine,
Speaker 5: we'll figure it out. And she is stuck with me,
Speaker 5: and it's just such it's so bad for her.
Speaker 3: It's so bad for her because she she has to
Speaker 3: interact with people all the time just because she's with me.
Speaker 7: It's like draining, like pop will drain your energy and
Speaker 7: your emotions and everything.
Speaker 6: So I totally understand her.
Speaker 3: So good.
Speaker 5: I feel like I got lucky and that being a
Speaker 5: part of my personality that I don't have to deal
Speaker 5: with that because I know so many people.
Speaker 3: That do Number nine, A knock on the front door
Speaker 3: when you're not prepared for guests. Yeah, okay, so good.
Speaker 3: Excuse me. Yeah, I'm the same way.
Speaker 5: And I immediately think of the Wolf of Wall Street,
Speaker 5: where you know his dad is mad that someone's calling,
Speaker 5: and it's the same principle.
Speaker 3: Yeah, my dad used to be the same way.
Speaker 5: Someone knocks the door and my wife, my mom's name
Speaker 5: was Ann, and my dad go and are.
Speaker 3: You expecting somebody? Is somebody expecting somebody? Who is this
Speaker 3: knocking on the door? Who is this? And by the
Speaker 3: time he gets the door, he's like, hello, how are
Speaker 3: you who?
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 3: It acts so nice, it's it's amazing. I thought about
Speaker 3: this the other day.
Speaker 5: My dad was telling me a story of a guy
Speaker 5: that he knew Buddy has made a ton of money,
Speaker 5: like a ton of money selling cancer insurance policies door
Speaker 5: to door. That's a different era. There used to be
Speaker 5: a hole into of people that would go door to
Speaker 5: door and sell things and it worked. Encyclopedia's bottom vacuum cleaners,
Speaker 5: insure tupperware. Yes, people would just answer the door and
Speaker 5: let a stranger come in their house and give me
Speaker 5: a sales pitch.
Speaker 3: I mean that still happens to me. I feel like
Speaker 3: once a week.
Speaker 6: People knock on your door once a week.
Speaker 3: Yeah, roof roofers do that. Yeah. Now I've gotten to
Speaker 3: where if so, if I'm already outside, I will just
Speaker 3: kind of handle it like I'll see it and I'll
Speaker 3: just give them the the thing, you know, finger get
Speaker 3: out of here. Usually. You know what really works is
Speaker 3: now I've already partnered with a great roofing company like
Speaker 3: Pierce Ruf everything like that. You know, it's very incredible
Speaker 3: that's been to go too lately. But man, that this
Speaker 3: does stress me out, and I'm like, okay, I'm not
Speaker 3: getting that. I'm not answering the door. Okay, they don't
Speaker 3: get to look inside my house. Also, what I'll do
Speaker 3: is then I'll be up by the window looking out
Speaker 3: at them because they she's got the ring camera thing
Speaker 3: on her phone, but I'm watching them just to see
Speaker 3: have they gone away yet?
Speaker 10: Immute and you pretend no one's home. Act that's terrible
Speaker 10: way to out. I like to be terrible too, But uh,
Speaker 10: I do want to say. I don't want to just
Speaker 10: not get the door, because I think a lot of
Speaker 10: people before they rob a house will sending someone to
Speaker 10: the door to knock to see if someone's home.
Speaker 5: So I do want to let them know someone's home.
Speaker 5: But I'll just from you know, yelling distance, you know,
Speaker 5: near the door.
Speaker 3: Sorry, don't open the door for strangers. Have a great day,
Speaker 3: that's great.
Speaker 5: You know what you can do too, just to make
Speaker 5: it weird, answered the door with a gun, not pointed
Speaker 5: at them.
Speaker 3: Just hold a gun. Hey, what's going on with the rag?
Speaker 3: If you're it, I'm right people talking to them when
Speaker 3: they want silence. Uber's done a good job recently. A
Speaker 3: ride sharing companies have done a good job of giving
Speaker 3: you that option now where you can just click oh yeah,
Speaker 3: I want it quiet here. I don't want I don't
Speaker 3: want to talk now. Usually I don't mind whatever, but
Speaker 3: if you are in that like, hey, I kind of
Speaker 3: just want to like lay my head back for a second.
Speaker 3: You don't want to talk to them, you can like
Speaker 3: hit that option. I like that this option people are
Speaker 3: talking and you just don't want people talking to you.
Speaker 3: It's annoying. Number seven, when your old WiFi cuts out.
Speaker 3: We can't handle it. Oh, we can't handle it.
Speaker 5: I can't even handle a thing downloading anymore.
Speaker 3: Number One thing I think that'll make me lose my
Speaker 3: craft that I didn't write it down. It is that
Speaker 3: if we don't have fast internet going, what what are
Speaker 3: we even doing on this planet anymore? Agreed? Why isn't
Speaker 3: everything instant? Gosh, we're such jerks.
Speaker 6: Yeah, spoiled a holes. Many follow us.
Speaker 3: But if it's like, uh, the circle spinning, what I
Speaker 3: gotta do an update on my TV? Remember? Could you
Speaker 3: just change the channel?
Speaker 5: Every time I have thirty seconds before I join a Zoom,
Speaker 5: a Google meet, or a Microsoft meeting, I have to
Speaker 5: update the app.
Speaker 7: And I'm like, oh my god, dude, you know what's
Speaker 7: really bad. My Hulu and Netflix have done this within
Speaker 7: the past month at least twice, where it signs you
Speaker 7: out and you have to sign back in and type
Speaker 7: in your password and everything beating.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I hate that so much.
Speaker 6: I almost don't even want to watch TV.
Speaker 3: I don't want to be around number six listening to
Speaker 3: someone chew loudly.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm not a fan of that. But yet you
Speaker 5: like that? Was it called ms R? I don't really
Speaker 5: like that. What is that thing called? That's where they
Speaker 5: get the sound of everything?
Speaker 3: Ayr? Yeah, sound of someone salivating. Yeah, star, got to
Speaker 3: turn me on. Uh, phone calls when you're not expecting
Speaker 3: one's talk about earlier the door.
Speaker 6: Yeah, never answer.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 5: I'm a bit of a cold caller. I'll cold call people.
Speaker 5: I will only answer it if it says spam risk.
Speaker 3: Uh, someone near them heavy breathing Number four. I just
Speaker 3: I don't know that it stresses me out, but maybe
Speaker 3: I guess so. I don't know that I've been around
Speaker 3: it in a long time. Yeah, we talk about riding
Speaker 3: the train to work, you know, or something you might
Speaker 3: have to deal with that.
Speaker 5: You're kind of looking over going, Hey man, there's everything
Speaker 5: okay there? And then he says, hey man, I stressed
Speaker 5: out when people talk to me, and I don't want it.
Speaker 3: That's why I'm breathing heavy, gotcha number three year alarm clock?
Speaker 3: Does that stress you out? I think the idea of
Speaker 3: waking up early and being late for something.
Speaker 7: Yeah, making sure it's actually on and your phone doesn't die.
Speaker 3: It's a little stressful.
Speaker 5: But if you just hear the sound of the alarm,
Speaker 5: like right now, you're just play your alarm, Yeah, it's stressful.
Speaker 3: Oh let's see.
Speaker 7: Has had someone's phone go off and it's your alarm
Speaker 7: like ring tone?
Speaker 6: Because it is. It's weird.
Speaker 7: I've been in the store and I've heard it, and
Speaker 7: it's like your body just reacts so bad to it.
Speaker 3: What is it like?
Speaker 7: So everyone's alarm has this different tone, right, but some
Speaker 7: people have that as their ring tone, like their normal
Speaker 7: ring tone. And I've heard it go off before and
Speaker 7: my body spazzes out.
Speaker 3: You're not.
Speaker 5: I don't think you're legally allowed to have it be
Speaker 5: the emergency alarm.
Speaker 3: System, right, don't let it be that one. The eas
Speaker 3: signal that one does get you. That does stress you
Speaker 3: out there, That will stress you out, which I guess
Speaker 3: is it's purpose. I can't you just said what my
Speaker 3: number one's dress thing is? What being late?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, nothing will will set me on edge. Then
Speaker 5: being late, I can't stand it. It drives me effing nuts.
Speaker 7: And that's when you hit all the red lights and
Speaker 7: all the traffic and you actually need to be somewhere.
Speaker 3: Yes, especially if you get in some sort of routine.
Speaker 3: You know how far it is from certain places home
Speaker 3: to work, home to wherever you gotta go. You kind
Speaker 3: of know how it's supposed to be. And then oh, okay,
Speaker 3: we're shut the street down today. It's amazing planned for that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's amazing when I was, Oh, why would you
Speaker 5: do that? I'm so stressed out now having such a
Speaker 5: good two s man.
Speaker 3: Then it just the coldness of it. It's just like,
Speaker 3: oh man, this sucks. Work calls, work calls.
Speaker 5: It is amazing that I was once a twenty two
Speaker 5: year old stoner that cared about nothing, and now I
Speaker 5: can't be late for anything without it.
Speaker 3: Driving me crazy. That's good. That's growth. Is it revolving?
Speaker 3: I'll stretch you out to get a growth. Number two
Speaker 3: text message alerts, number one, phone going off during a meeting,
Speaker 3: stuff like that. All right, what are we all write
Speaker 3: down in the back of our paper?
Speaker 5: Here, I wrote being late, being late, and it wasn't
Speaker 5: On the list, I wrote forgetting.
Speaker 6: To lock the door when I leave the house.
Speaker 9: Oh that's more anxiety, though, I wrote down danger, just danger,
Speaker 9: I voltage driving, driving and thinking about the future.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like you just spend a few minutes.
Speaker 5: Thinking about what your kids' lives are going to be
Speaker 5: like in twenty years and you're like, I don't I'm
Speaker 5: not having fun anymore. We're not going to see twenty years. Bro,
Speaker 5: escalate this war.
Speaker 3: My little like seven year old niece of the day
Speaker 3: just said, when are you going to be a dad?
Speaker 3: And I was like, well, it's irresponsible to bring kids
Speaker 3: into the earth things if you look at the future mine.
Speaker 3: Is anything wrong with the house? Just anything like, oh god,
Speaker 3: I got a fick something.
Speaker 5: Dude, I don't even I mean, I know this just
Speaker 5: sounds like dumb, bitch, bougie problem. But I just go
Speaker 5: out and I look at my pool and how much
Speaker 5: money I have to drop on it, and I just
Speaker 5: immediately want to die.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just like so pain relatable. I'm like,
Speaker 3: why did we do this?
Speaker 5: Why did we put this thing, this money pit in
Speaker 5: our backyard? Idiots Like I can't wait to downsize right
Speaker 5: live in a house without a pool, live in a
Speaker 5: house without any room for my kids. Okay, but then
Speaker 5: you think about the future and realize your kids will
Speaker 5: never be able to buy a house.
Speaker 3: So how you get a down? So that was good, Kevin?
Speaker 5: All right, good stuff, Kevin. Ten little things that stress
Speaker 5: people out the most. Coming up next in the weekly
Speaker 5: Weekday Update, a deep dive in the quest to legalize
Speaker 5: gambling right here in Texas. Next, all right, it's the

Speaker 5: But right now it's time for this.
Speaker 8: And now it's time for Baance week Day Up Day
Speaker 8: featuring veteran news anchor kt fon tweets. Here are the
Speaker 8: important stories he's currently tracking from around the world.
Speaker 3: Okay, obviously it's June seventeenth, so a story that will
Speaker 3: be on the cover of Texas Monthly in July. It's
Speaker 3: a little weird that we'll be covering it now, but
Speaker 3: I got a little early access to this article and
Speaker 3: it was a big read and it was highly interesting,
Speaker 3: and it's about basically the quest I legalized gambling in
Speaker 3: Texas and how it has Let's say I taken a
Speaker 3: step back, oh, the last few months. Oh, let's start
Speaker 3: with how they had a big town hall meeting in
Speaker 3: March in Irving at the Irving Convention Center. And obviously,
Speaker 3: you know, resort space for the sands companies being discussed
Speaker 3: and all that stuff, and it's jammed with a bunch
Speaker 3: of people, but it's a bunch of angry North Texan people.
Speaker 3: We should also just remember that this is about a
Speaker 3: month after Luca was traded, Okay, so quite a bit
Speaker 3: of different time. There's no draft lottery to pull us
Speaker 3: out of the duldrums. If you're a sports fan, if
Speaker 3: you're neutral, you know you might not care. These people
Speaker 3: held signs that read don't vegas my Irving, and there
Speaker 3: were some flyers warning that predatory gambling breeds crime, failed marriages,
Speaker 3: and addiction. You've got a bunch of hardcore people who
Speaker 3: are like, I do not want gambling. I seriously think
Speaker 3: it's a mega sin you have that going on as well.
Speaker 5: So and let me just say, because I read a
Speaker 5: lot about this at the time, I was very interested
Speaker 5: in this because I was like, is this going to
Speaker 5: be the home of the next you know, Maverick's facility
Speaker 5: where they play their games and stuff. And there was
Speaker 5: one particular businessman council member in Irving. They zoned it
Speaker 5: in a way to where you can build a development
Speaker 5: with or without gambling. And all the people that were
Speaker 5: showing up and doing all the barking and freaking out
Speaker 5: and holding up the John three sixteen signs and all that,
Speaker 5: you know, they were saying what they were saying. But
Speaker 5: all the people on the council were like, are you
Speaker 5: guys idiots? We're Irving if we have a chance to
Speaker 5: pump money into this thing we're doing.
Speaker 3: This article is very eye opening with all that, Okay,
Speaker 3: this is this is good. So the town hall, the
Speaker 3: residents of Irving had brought their pitchforks, but whether they'd
Speaker 3: use them would depend on the performance of sans man
Speaker 3: in Texas. Andy A. Bude. He's a sixty something guy
Speaker 3: with stylish glasses. Andy Aboot is going to be the
Speaker 3: guy who's really trying to sell this to everyone works
Speaker 3: for Sands. Right, six weeks before the town hall. I'm
Speaker 3: just reading this paragraph. It's good. Six weeks before the
Speaker 3: town hall, they'd alienated the team's fan base in the
Speaker 3: most spectacular fashion by trading away Luca. Overseeing the wildly
Speaker 3: unpopular trade was like introducing oneself to Texas by peeing
Speaker 3: on the Alamo, just like Auzie, hey, we're here, what's
Speaker 3: whiz on the ALBUMO. I was like, man, that's a
Speaker 3: wild way to think about it. It's a good paragraph.
Speaker 3: So a Boode comes up, goes up on stage and
Speaker 3: he's gonna deliver his presentation and he's getting booed like
Speaker 3: crazy over the next two and a half hours. He
Speaker 3: starts to convince the crowd, like, you've got it all wrong.
Speaker 3: Sands is not the problem. Here's what's going on. Texas
Speaker 3: has the largest illegal gaming market. There's fifty three billion
Speaker 3: dollars in illicit gambling happening in Texans. In Texas, Texans
Speaker 3: are playing with slots on video terminals and convenience stores.
Speaker 3: They're placing illegal bets on their phones. He's like, it's
Speaker 3: unregulated and we're just wasting time. We could all be
Speaker 3: making money here if we would just accept it and
Speaker 3: then regulate it and get it legalized. He also said
Speaker 3: Texas was losing five billion a year to casinos in
Speaker 3: neighboring states. Yeah, probably makes sense.
Speaker 5: And honestly, Ben, it was probably a lot like the
Speaker 5: moose situation.
Speaker 3: They weren't booing him. They're saying, ah booo, it's just
Speaker 3: his name. Yeah, Now what you were saying about the
Speaker 3: city council members, here's one. Kyle Taylor said, this is
Speaker 3: a town that's always known as the ones who lost
Speaker 3: the Cowboys and lost the Byron Nelson. So he was
Speaker 3: like for it, but not everyone was. The crowd booed
Speaker 3: when he claimed that Sands was not a casino centric
Speaker 3: company but rather a tourism driver, he pivoted to blame shifting.
Speaker 3: What about ism, He said, quote, of course we have casinos,
Speaker 3: but you know what, you have sixty five thousand illegal
Speaker 3: slot machines in Texas today that no one's doing anything about.
Speaker 3: So that's his play. The evening goes on and he
Speaker 3: got sweatier and more combative. At one point, he accused
Speaker 3: the audience of being paid protesters, referencing the Oklahoma casinos
Speaker 3: which I don't think that's true, And the article that
Speaker 3: didn't seem like that's true. It says, in fact, though
Speaker 3: SANDS would sponsor supporters, hiring people to attend the commission
Speaker 3: meeting and Irving three days later, one recruit was offered
Speaker 3: two hundred and fifty dollars in free food and there's
Speaker 3: text messages they have is as a reminder you're there
Speaker 3: as a citizen, not on behalf of Echo Canyon Consulting,
Speaker 3: which is owned by say So. SAMs was paying people
Speaker 3: to go and support it, which this probably happy happens
Speaker 3: everywhere when there's like lobbyist involved. Yes, I would imagine would.
Speaker 6: That be illegal?
Speaker 3: I think it probably probably should. How are supposed to
Speaker 3: get to anything.
Speaker 6: Like fake support, fake booing?
Speaker 3: A boot said they had to be escorted out by
Speaker 3: the police every night, and it got bizarre and weird.
Speaker 3: It crossed the lines of decency. Others had a different takeaway.
Speaker 3: One person in Irving called it a total disaster. This
Speaker 3: is a twenty five year old city councilman, twenty five
Speaker 3: years old guy named Luis. He said for his side,
Speaker 3: he said it was amazing, it was a lot of fun.
Speaker 3: But he said by the end of it. The people
Speaker 3: were clapping in support of not supporting gambling, right, they
Speaker 3: were clapping to not support it, no, like we don't
Speaker 3: want it, because they were like enjoying that. It was
Speaker 3: a big riled up thing. Now, when we get back
Speaker 3: from a quick song, I'm going to tell you about
Speaker 3: a wild history. Did y'all know that there was a
Speaker 3: wild thing Irving happening with prostitution and gambling and it's
Speaker 3: now underground. I'll tell you about it in a minute.
Speaker 3: So we're discussing, you know, how this gambling in Texas
Speaker 3: could be legalized, but how it's kind of lost steam
Speaker 3: over the past few months. And some of those are
Speaker 3: from those meetings that happened in Irving. And another thing
Speaker 3: that happened there was a representative from Plano, a guy
Speaker 3: with the name of Matt Shaheen, and he publicly swore
Speaker 3: to kill gambling because he said that it links casinos
Speaker 3: to sex trafficking, which he's just being performative politics, it's
Speaker 3: what he's doing. Well, then the Addisons step in with
Speaker 3: the Political Action Committee and then they started doing a
Speaker 3: bunch of ads in his district, you know, saying that
Speaker 3: he was a moderate who voted against a bunch of
Speaker 3: good jobs, and that frustrated the Republicans a little bit.
Speaker 3: So even though Miriam Addilson is donating a lot of money,
Speaker 3: in fact more to Trump and Governor Abbott, she's also
Speaker 3: like one by one, like the company as a whole
Speaker 3: has a lot of political action committees who were dropping
Speaker 3: in money to run ads against guys who are trying
Speaker 3: to stop gambling from going through. It's highly interesting. But
Speaker 3: then there's a story in this This article kind of
Speaker 3: goes into the middle. It talks about this thing that
Speaker 3: happened in Irving. I did not know this, and I
Speaker 3: was just amazed. So there's a place in the nineteen
Speaker 3: thirties and forties called top O Hill Terrace, right.
Speaker 5: Okay, this is in the Yes, I'm telling you guys.
Speaker 5: Like the best thing about that book is that it's
Speaker 5: just a history of how politics, money and organized crime
Speaker 5: have been in this community and built it up since
Speaker 5: what like the nineteen twenties.
Speaker 6: Y basically twenty thirties. It's a great book.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So Topahoo Terras an illegal home for gambling, booze in prostitution,
Speaker 3: Vegas before Vegas. Some called it. Bonnie and Clyde went
Speaker 3: there Howard Hughes. What you have to realize though, is
Speaker 3: think about this.
Speaker 5: So when Ben and I were in high school, this
Speaker 5: is what's so weird about where we live now.
Speaker 3: Ben and I grew up in Richardson.
Speaker 5: When we grew up, when we graduated in eighty nine,
Speaker 5: Frisco was nothing but farmland.
Speaker 3: Like think about what Frisco is now. Six It was
Speaker 3: nothing but farmland.
Speaker 5: Yes, and actually, like McKinney, which is one giant strip
Speaker 5: mall now, same thing. Nothing like half of Plano was
Speaker 5: still farmland now all that's been developed. So when you
Speaker 5: talk about this, you have to realize there's the urban
Speaker 5: core of Dallas, but Irving was the country. Yeah, so
Speaker 5: you're talking about going to like a rural area and
Speaker 5: then out in the middle of that there would be
Speaker 5: some sort of a business that would be the front
Speaker 5: for it. Like it could be a it could be
Speaker 5: a restaurant or something or a hotel, and it's the
Speaker 5: front for gambling in prostitution.
Speaker 3: So downstairs, this place a plush room with roulette card tables, slots, booze,
Speaker 3: and women for hire. The police seldom raided, but when
Speaker 3: they did, they were ready because they had armed guards.
Speaker 3: In a watchtower and they'd sounded an alarm to alert
Speaker 3: the if the cops were coming. Yeah, and then they
Speaker 3: had basically as the cops were coming up a hill
Speaker 3: is a very long driveway too, so it took time
Speaker 3: for the cops to get up there. They could fold
Speaker 3: up the card tables and things like that, and then
Speaker 3: the guests would escape through underground tunnels dug into the hill.
Speaker 5: Pretty great, think about that. Everyone leave in the underground tunnel.
Speaker 5: The cops are coming.
Speaker 3: So now this casino is buried under our brick building
Speaker 3: of Arlington Baptist University. Yeah, which I didn't know Arlington
Speaker 3: Baptist University was a thing, but it's underneath that.
Speaker 5: So it's pretty crazy. And think I want you to
Speaker 5: think about this too. One hundred years is not that
Speaker 5: long ago. This is all within one hundred years of
Speaker 5: where we are now pretty much.
Speaker 3: So now we need to talk about a guy who
Speaker 3: had a big impact on where we stand today, because
Speaker 3: right now, thirty nine states have legalized wagering on sports.
Speaker 3: Texas and California are the biggest states by far who
Speaker 3: have held out New York Is already they're in now
Speaker 3: twelve Texas Major League franchises have joined forces with popular
Speaker 3: apps like badamgm FanDuel Draft, something called the Sports the
Speaker 3: Texas Sports Betting Alliance. All the teams are, the Rangers
Speaker 3: are in it right to think about how the Rangers are.
Speaker 3: The Rangers are in that. So just as in the
Speaker 3: old days, it's not hard to find ways around the law.
Speaker 3: It's very easy. You can go on Evada right now,
Speaker 3: get an account if you want. I don't like using it.
Speaker 3: I had a Blevada kept ten years ago. I don't
Speaker 3: mess with that. But you can do it like you
Speaker 3: can illegally bet if you want to. So that's a
Speaker 3: pretty good point. There's a been doing survey in the
Speaker 3: university from the University of Houston a couple of years ago.
Speaker 3: Seventy three percent of Texans support allowing destination resort casinos.
Speaker 3: Sixty percent support legal online betting on sports, and there's
Speaker 3: no difference of opinion between Republicans and Democrats. It might
Speaker 3: be the one thing that we can all agree on.
Speaker 3: But there's a fellow that they talked about in this article,
Speaker 3: and it was a guy who was a pastor from
Speaker 3: the first Baptist church in Fort Worth a long time ago,
Speaker 3: like nineteen oh nine, to nineteen fifty two. And I'm
Speaker 3: telling you in a second like why he's important to
Speaker 3: this story. But you need to know that there was
Speaker 3: a big day up in Frisco at the Star that
Speaker 3: happened Quoll. It sounds like recently that didn't see actual
Speaker 3: date on this. So all the people that were it
Speaker 3: was nineteen people in the house were going there, right
Speaker 3: down to Patry had representatives. Dan Patrick was there and
Speaker 3: there was just gonna go watch the cowboys practice at
Speaker 3: training camp. This is yeah, this is at the end
Speaker 3: of training camp last year, twenty twenty four. Right, So
Speaker 3: Jerry's hosting all these people and they're all hanging out.
Speaker 3: But dan Patrick brought Ed Young. Ed Young is eighty eight.
Speaker 3: He grew up sorry Houston's second Baptist church into a
Speaker 3: juggernaut eighty thousand members across six campuses. He had a
Speaker 3: TV show that was global. He counseled George W. Bush
Speaker 3: when he was a governor. He is a big opponent
Speaker 3: of gambling, and his presence at that hangout at the
Speaker 3: Star with Dan Patrick was enough to scare away a
Speaker 3: bunch of Senators from voting for legalizing gambling. Because there
Speaker 3: has been signs even Governor Abbott has said I think
Speaker 3: we should look into it, when in the past he's
Speaker 3: been like, hey, i'll know, because he's gotten a lot
Speaker 3: of money from Miriam Maddelson over the past couple of
Speaker 3: years to say things like that, and they kind of
Speaker 3: had their hopes of like maybe this will go through.
Speaker 3: And because Dan Patrick, but they all talked about him.
Speaker 3: They're like, he's so savvy. Jerry Jones is there, Jerry
Speaker 3: Jones wants gambling in Texas. Right, of course, they're all wooing,
Speaker 3: they're watching cowboys practicing. But Ed Young, who's eighty eight,
Speaker 3: terrified everybody. I don't even know that Ed Young's still
Speaker 3: alive now. Honestly, I really don't know that even got
Speaker 3: to that in the article. But that was crazy to me.
Speaker 3: And you know why, because they just told you he's
Speaker 3: in control of eighty thousand voters.
Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, that's why I was. Because he's rich. I
Speaker 6: don't understand.
Speaker 5: It's just it's and that's the thing is a lot
Speaker 5: of politicians can be swayed by new money. I really
Speaker 5: legitimately thought that marijuana and gambling would be legal in
Speaker 5: the next couple of years. But there's also really, really
Speaker 5: strong oil backed money that let's just call it religious
Speaker 5: money that keeps that thing at bay.
Speaker 3: So they said to watch the Cowich practice got autogressed
Speaker 3: from some of the players. Drew Pearson let one senator
Speaker 3: spouse try on his Super Bowl ring. That's a good
Speaker 3: thing over here, wining and dining the original eighty eight.
Speaker 3: But there's one big problem. Everything was going according to plan,
Speaker 3: which makes me thinking of Jerry and Miriam Maddison probably
Speaker 3: have talked before Zero dell I talk. Dan Patrick brought
Speaker 3: his pastor and that's the one thing. Another thing it
Speaker 3: says is at the twenty twenty five sessions, so this
Speaker 3: has been a couple months ago, they blanketed the airwaves
Speaker 3: with advertising for destination resorts. The word casino never used.
Speaker 3: Greg Abbott mentioned that he did not have a problem
Speaker 3: with online sports betting, but one lobbyist said in this article,
Speaker 3: sans's biggest problem is they have Las Vegas bully mentality.
Speaker 3: They think they can money whip everybody down here into submission,
Speaker 3: and it's just not going to be that easy. And
Speaker 3: the last session, do you know what came up recently
Speaker 3: the Texas lottery? Yeah, you know what? All that's about
Speaker 3: a distraction. It's a distraction. So no one's talking about
Speaker 3: legalizing sports gambling and it's easy to go. We can't
Speaker 3: even get our Texas lottery straight. How are we supposed
Speaker 3: to monetize this multi billion dollar thing? How are we
Speaker 3: going to have that organized? We can't even run the
Speaker 3: two billion dollar Texas lottery.
