Speaker 1: Big week for you, dude.
Speaker 2: Yeah, big week, ups and downs. But been here for
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks. Jack's memorial was really great over
Speaker 2: the weekend last Saturday. A lot of people flying from
Speaker 2: different cities and states that are related are just good
Speaker 2: friends with us over the years of love. Jack went
Speaker 2: to a great restaurant, Eddie Ralose in Illinois and then
Speaker 2: about thirty five people came back to the house and
Speaker 2: we had to sit down lunch it with three choices
Speaker 2: of me fish and the whole thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I've never seen That's quite a unique thing.
Speaker 1: You have the celebration at a restaurant and then immediately
Speaker 1: thereafter heads of the house for another meal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Rosley just bought Roseley thought they might be hungry again.
Speaker 2: At five. So she made sue and peppers, raviol and
Speaker 2: meat sauce and guini far folly, a bunch of cold
Speaker 2: cut steak, flatters of swim cocktail cold cuts rolls. She
Speaker 2: wanted to get chicken wings from wingstop because she was
Speaker 2: gonna cook them. I said, you know, there's there's no way. Well,
Speaker 2: let me just get fifty wings from it. No, you
Speaker 2: don't need fifty wings. You there's so much food to you,
Speaker 2: believe it or not. When everybody came over as soon
Speaker 2: as she put her food out, they got up and
Speaker 2: got plates and a lot of it went. We gave
Speaker 2: something to neighbor across the street who was really helpful.
Speaker 2: He's this guy's somebody that Rosick can call on in
Speaker 2: my town to pick up Jack when he was ill.
Speaker 2: So he's a great dude. Great people. They got a
Speaker 2: bunch of food to take across the street. Funny the
Speaker 2: people across the street. Their son went to Stevenson High
Speaker 2: School and played with Jalen Brunson. Really yeah, really, you
Speaker 2: know Jalen was the superstar there. Stay titled yeah Villanova.
Speaker 2: We know the rest, but yeah, it's the small world.
Speaker 2: But that Stevens in high school there's a reason why
Speaker 2: people live in this area. That school is like Saint
Speaker 2: chim and Ward Melville and any other school is a
Speaker 2: gigantic campus. It's like the best school in Illinois, apparently
Speaker 2: public school, and a lot of people go. A lot
Speaker 2: of famous people went there, Vince Vaughan, just a ton
Speaker 2: of people who really yeah, yeah, it's a big school.
Speaker 2: Vince went comes from Buffalo Grove actually where I'm staying.
Speaker 2: Really nice town.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: Everybody who came here can't believe, like how different the Midwest.
Speaker 2: There is no graffiti, no homeless kids outside playing ball,
Speaker 2: riding their bicycles. It's just such a different world out here.
Speaker 2: Too bad it gets cold the winter, but it's great.
Speaker 2: I love it out here.
Speaker 1: And you know, my son likes it there a ton
Speaker 1: as well. And he was even working outdoors in his
Speaker 1: first job there through the winter and still and still
Speaker 1: likes it a lot.
Speaker 2: So it's been in the nineties at least eighty percent
Speaker 2: of the time I've been here. It rained a lot
Speaker 2: yesterday because of humidity. It was muggy, But yeah, it's
Speaker 2: been in the nineties. It's ninety or close to ninety again. Today.
Speaker 2: It's when the weather is good. It's great here.
Speaker 1: I have to tell you, it's I thought the summer
Speaker 1: would be unbearable down here, and I think it maybe
Speaker 1: it's been cooler than it's been in the Northeast, because
Speaker 1: every time I'm on the phone with my mother, she's
Speaker 1: complaining about how hot it is there. And this is
Speaker 1: nothing compared to New Orleans. I mean New Orleans it
Speaker 1: was so much worse than it is here. I mean
Speaker 1: here you always have a breeze, and so even when
Speaker 1: it's hot hot, you know, like I think there have
Speaker 1: been a couple of days it's hit ninety three, ninety
Speaker 1: four or something like that, you got the breeze off
Speaker 1: the water, and it's it's ever been.
Speaker 2: I mean that's like Long Island. Like people don't realize.
Speaker 2: I just realized this the other day. I grew up
Speaker 2: on Long Island. We didn't have a conditioning while we
Speaker 2: had none in Brooklyn, obviously, but my father with the
Speaker 2: iceman would actually come in a truck with big block
Speaker 2: of ice over his shoulder. My father would put it
Speaker 2: in like a not a litter box, but some kind
Speaker 2: of plastic box, put a fan behind it, and the
Speaker 2: fam would blow the cold ice air at us. But
Speaker 2: in Long Island, no a conditioning, just windows open, screen
Speaker 2: doors open. Even if you can believe this while we
Speaker 2: were sleeping, that's how safe the neighborhood was way back
Speaker 2: in the day. But once I went to Manhattan, I
Speaker 2: had air conditioning and have had in La you have
Speaker 2: to have.
Speaker 1: It, no, you know, we didn't have it either at
Speaker 1: my house, and it was I remember it was such
Speaker 1: a big deal that my parents decided to get it.
Speaker 1: And my father was such a sucker. I mean he
Speaker 1: he got sold on ship. Uh, he gets sold because
Speaker 1: we had a big attic in that house. The way
Speaker 1: that it was shaped, it was a huge attic, right,
Speaker 1: And so he gets sold on this concept of a
Speaker 1: really large attic fan. That is that is gonna cool
Speaker 1: the whole house an attic fan, right. And so I
Speaker 1: don't know how long the freaking we were under construction.
Speaker 1: We were under construction for a while and living through it.
Speaker 1: And I mean that thing maybe because it was kind
Speaker 1: of right above my parents where my parents were. Maybe
Speaker 1: a cooled their room a little bit, but cool. What
Speaker 1: I what I used to do more nights than not
Speaker 1: in the summer, is I would I had a little
Speaker 1: balcony off of my my room. Uh, and I would
Speaker 1: go and I would sleep out. I would take a
Speaker 1: sleeping bag and I would go sleep outside in that
Speaker 1: on that little balcony because the nights there do get
Speaker 1: into the seventies and yeah, yeah, and stuff, and that
Speaker 1: was that was bearable. But my room would be so
Speaker 1: e f and high. I couldn't sleep in there.
Speaker 2: But yeah, roasting. And Jack had a fan in the
Speaker 2: attic as well, but it's supposed to suck all the
Speaker 2: hot air round. It does, it does work. But when
Speaker 2: they moved and I was up in that attic pulling
Speaker 2: all the shit out, you know, Christmas trees, so many
Speaker 2: boxes of chunk. It was one hundred and six degrees
Speaker 2: in that as Oh god, brutal. It was brutal. But
Speaker 2: even with the fan on, it's still so hot. But yeah,
Speaker 2: we made it. We did it. Now air conditioning. I
Speaker 2: couldn't live without it, couldn't imagine the day without it.
Speaker 2: It's horrible.
Speaker 1: Well, so, dude, your picture looked so sad, the one
Speaker 1: you posted a view with the dentist. I was like,
Speaker 1: look at ag. He looks like a twelve year old.
Speaker 1: He's been forced to to go get a root canal
Speaker 1: or something.
Speaker 2: What the dentist was great. He's a great guy, very thorough,
Speaker 2: really good. Is like she wants me back on TV,
Speaker 2: you know, and I hate my front the teeth in
Speaker 2: the front of hip and they just got weird looking.
Speaker 2: And she's like, I'll lay up the money. Let's just
Speaker 2: go see. I'm gonna get a cleaning. Let's see what
Speaker 2: they can do. What the price might be. All right,
Speaker 2: I tell the doctor, I said, look, I never smoked myth,
Speaker 2: but there's some teeth in the back of my head
Speaker 2: that are awful. That chip that broke and they're gone.
Speaker 2: I said, I had a I was on medication as
Speaker 2: a kid called declam ice and which was turned which
Speaker 2: was found out to really fuck up little kids mouths
Speaker 2: and teeth, and they took it off the market. So
Speaker 2: my teeth were really bid as a kid, I'd get
Speaker 2: sixteen fifteen cavities. It was all the time. So he
Speaker 2: looked as I've seen worse. And he's telling me a
Speaker 2: price because he's he's X raying everything. Of course there's
Speaker 2: a lot of work on it. I could just focus
Speaker 2: on the front. Rosley comes and I go, doctor teller
Speaker 2: what he goes well, But the oral surgeon, this and that.
Speaker 2: This guy's great, this guy's good. I'd be there me
Speaker 2: thirty thousand. I got out. That's all fourteen thirty thousand.
Speaker 2: Now I'm gone. I'm gone for forty yeah. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I said, no, no, no, I can't and.
Speaker 1: Roaster, wait, get calm down, wait just fourteen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the front four or five. You know, I got
Speaker 2: a there was a bridge that fell out on my
Speaker 2: right side. It's a whole thing. My mouth is ridiculous.
Speaker 2: So I said not the not mad at the doctor.
Speaker 2: I said, look now, I forget it. I got no
Speaker 2: dental insurance, so even a payment plan is I'm not
Speaker 2: just like buying a car. I can't do it. So
Speaker 2: then he finds, I mean, so many things are new
Speaker 2: in dentistry. I haven't been there in a while. But
Speaker 2: I got this wand in the back of my head
Speaker 2: and three D imaging of everything. You're thumb bone, and
Speaker 2: he finds this lesion on the upper pallet of my
Speaker 2: mouth toward my throat. I was gagging. It was so
Speaker 2: deep it was pink. It's like the size of a
Speaker 2: fingernail and it's pink, it's reddish. And he goes, that's
Speaker 2: not good. You know, we gotta get a biop see that.
Speaker 2: You gotta go to eros and throat guy because I said,
Speaker 2: what is it? It could be cancer? He goes, it
Speaker 2: could be cancer is usually white, but sometimes it appears
Speaker 2: pinkish and it turns to white. So I wouldn't wait,
Speaker 2: I would get this checked out. I'm like great. I
Speaker 2: leave the office thinking I might have cancer. Then I
Speaker 2: get scammed out of four thousand dollars from the Bank
Speaker 2: of America. Not then, but some guy who was an
Speaker 2: expert at doing what he did. Roseley's really sharp. The
Speaker 2: guy was on speakerphone where the car was parked. This
Speaker 2: guy was so sharp. You got to be so careful
Speaker 2: that the text the text came over my phone. Did
Speaker 2: you order? Did you buy four hundred and fifty dollars
Speaker 2: worth of stuff at Walmart? I said no. Normally that
Speaker 2: means they cancel your debit card. This guy calls the
Speaker 2: bank calls. I should have known banks don't call you, you
Speaker 2: call them, so I pick up. The guy was very thorough.
Speaker 2: American knew what to do. Mister Benzi, got you give
Speaker 2: me some crazy employee ID number.
Speaker 1: This is all supposedly really to this four hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty dollars false charge from Walmart.
Speaker 2: And then the guy starts going, you know, it could
Speaker 2: have began with you, do you have cash App? I said, yeah,
Speaker 2: I do. He goes, that's an app that people are
Speaker 2: having problems with. Can you open your cash app? I
Speaker 2: only use cash app to send my wife money when
Speaker 2: she needed immediately instead of going to a bank, she
Speaker 2: just has cash. Well, this I got taken.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 2: This guy was having me do with draws and move
Speaker 2: this money here. It was so perfectly done that I
Speaker 2: have to take my hat off because I'm not easily fooled.
Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, there was a
Speaker 2: charge on cash out for fourteen hundred, one thousand, another thousand,
Speaker 2: a five hundred, and I got a cash app and
Speaker 2: I said, I didn't do this. So they're working on
Speaker 2: an air end. I called b of A and they're
Speaker 2: working on an air end. But I said, you know,
Speaker 2: this is the third time in two months that I've
Speaker 2: been this fraud. Like you guys have to talk about
Speaker 2: this above your pay grade. They're using the exact logo
Speaker 2: and the exact verse. Bitch that Bank of America has
Speaker 2: sent me where possible forum. It's really frightening. So anybody
Speaker 2: out there gets a phone call from a bank, bullshit.
Speaker 2: When you have fraud, you call the bank, they don't
Speaker 2: call you.
Speaker 1: Well are they Are they acting like they're gonna be
Speaker 1: able to recover for their fraud protection protects you, or
Speaker 1: are they saying too bad you got suckered.
Speaker 2: They're in I mean cash app says we're gonna looking
Speaker 2: into it. We may not get the money, you may
Speaker 2: not get the money back, but we're gonna investigate. Bank
Speaker 2: of America is like, we need to hunt. We need
Speaker 2: ninety days to look into this. I'm like ninety days,
Speaker 2: all right. Apparently there's a lot of fraud committed. Because
Speaker 2: if you need ninety days to figure this shit out.
Speaker 1: Oh no, there's a there's a shipload.
Speaker 2: I'm planning. I'm not gonna get it back. I'm just playing,
Speaker 2: but you know it just I got the guy was
Speaker 2: so good, Oh man, I can't and Rosalie is really
Speaker 2: sharp and she didn't say boo about anything. So I'm
Speaker 2: gonna change my bank. I'm gonna go a different banks.
Speaker 2: So when the Patreon dough comes through, don't send it
Speaker 2: to the old bank. I'm going to go to Chase.
Speaker 2: I think and Chase, I'm getting out of Bank of America.
Speaker 2: Enough is enough.
Speaker 1: Well, look, I mean they're all they're all kind of
Speaker 1: the same. I don't know that, but but I think
Speaker 1: it's pretty much true, from the credit cards to the
Speaker 1: banks everybody that they are not They will never contact
Speaker 1: you by phone, right and uh. And the fraud alerts,
Speaker 1: you know, when you get them, you're able to log
Speaker 1: in and see stuff, so you know whether it's a
Speaker 1: real fraud or not a real fraud. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: just it just sucks more than anything. There's nothing worse
Speaker 1: than getting money fucking stolen from you.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, man, I'll never see him, I never know him.
Speaker 2: But I don't know, man, Maybe it's karma. When I
Speaker 2: used to work with gamblers back from the Touch Service days,
Speaker 2: and I not that I stole their money, but you know,
Speaker 2: I was good at getting money out of people who
Speaker 2: are gambling. I was very good at it. So I
Speaker 2: always think that the life balances out, it's just time
Speaker 2: for me to pay the piper. I don't know, but
Speaker 2: I feel like I can think of to keep my
Speaker 2: sanity because I'm not easily fooled either. I got street sponsored.
Speaker 2: This guy was good.
Speaker 1: I I wasted days with with Bank of America earlier
Speaker 1: this year because I months went by and I hadn't
Speaker 1: received my uh my tax return, my U and I
Speaker 1: was I was getting a decent amount of money back,
Speaker 1: so it mattered. And uh uh. I go to the
Speaker 1: I R S site and I get this message saying
Speaker 1: it that the money was deposited to my account on
Speaker 1: file and that I should check with my CPA. So
Speaker 1: I log into this platform that the CPA uses something vault.
Speaker 1: I forget the name of it. Anyway, I log into
Speaker 1: it and I see an account number that I do
Speaker 1: not recognize that he has submitted to the I R
Speaker 1: S as the place to send my my tax return,
Speaker 1: my refund. And so I'm like, fuck, what is this?
Speaker 1: And and so I go to b of A and
Speaker 1: with all of this documentation, and I say, this money
Speaker 1: was deposited in an account inside of b of A,
Speaker 1: but it's not my account. And the guy is wonderful,
Speaker 1: you know, he's doing everything he can do, and he's like,
Speaker 1: you know, I might have to call in an forensics
Speaker 1: guy and maybe they can figure it out. This looks
Speaker 1: like a sophisticated hack because it looks like they hacked
Speaker 1: that system at your CPA. And and then uh, and
Speaker 1: so for days this is going on, and then and
Speaker 1: then finally a light bulb goes off in my head
Speaker 1: where I'm like, you know, I wonder if I don't
Speaker 1: know why they would do this, but I wonder if
Speaker 1: they if that number could have been to a retirement account,
Speaker 1: did they? And so I start going through retirement accounts,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, I see the deposits into
Speaker 1: the Yeah, I don't even know where or why. Uh,
Speaker 1: Like my CPA would have had that, because he would
Speaker 1: he would have those those accounts for prepare my taxis.
Speaker 1: But but that's never been an account we would have
Speaker 1: used for a for a refund or anything. So bizarre.
Speaker 1: I thought the money was gone, and then magically we
Speaker 1: found so maybe somehow magically you find it.
Speaker 2: Well, then don't forget last month or whatever it was
Speaker 2: that thirty seven hundred bucks partial of the patroon was
Speaker 2: taken away from me too, Like it's just been I've
Speaker 2: been raped the last two or three months. So, uh,
Speaker 2: you know whatever, back on the horse making ship work.
Speaker 2: But yeah, that's now we know why ancestors kept our
Speaker 2: money under the mattress.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, scary, it's hard to laugh at.
Speaker 1: But I don't know, I know, so DOT turned to
Speaker 1: Big eight five. Yeah, on Friday, she was, she was.
Speaker 1: She was fully surprised. I unfortunately did not get there
Speaker 1: in time for the surprise, but but she was, she
Speaker 1: was fully surprised. I I bought her like ten pounds
Speaker 1: of chocolate. I had like every single chocolate thing that
Speaker 1: they make at kill Winds. I brought her and she
Speaker 1: looked happy about that. But good, where was it?
Speaker 2: Where?
Speaker 1: It was a Kenny's house and his and all the
Speaker 1: kids flew in, the grandkids flew in. Uh, they had
Speaker 1: the whole gang there, so he was. He was happy
Speaker 1: and like your place more food than anybody could possibly eat.
Speaker 1: So I don't know what the heck they did with
Speaker 1: all those lefts.
Speaker 2: I'm sure I don't know.
Speaker 1: You know, I think they are very strict about I mean,
Speaker 1: number one, they give them real food. So maybe that
Speaker 1: was easy enough because when I stayed there to take
Speaker 1: care of them. Uh, Arena prepares these meals for them
Speaker 1: that she she puts in. The meals are steak and chicken.
Speaker 2: And it's right, I said, all of our dogs off
Speaker 2: the table. But it's not good. I know it's not good.
Speaker 2: But you know, I saw there's a my EXCEP girlfriend,
Speaker 2: Andrea feeds are touchy and her dogs. She cooks for
Speaker 2: them every night, pumpkin, blueberries, chicken or ground turkey, mixes
Speaker 2: it all up. She is seeds. But there's a great
Speaker 2: little recipe that people with dogs can use. It's so
Speaker 2: simple and it's really great. One carrot, great, an apple,
Speaker 2: throwing an egg and maybe a handful of breadcrumbs just
Speaker 2: so you can bind it together, make little tiny meatballs,
Speaker 2: throw it in the oven three fifty for a half hour,
Speaker 2: and it's it's a healthy, great treat for dogs. They
Speaker 2: love apples, they love carrots.
Speaker 1: Doggy meatballs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, a little dog.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm in at some point maybe I'll be cooking
Speaker 1: for doggies again. So I I wanted to say something
Speaker 1: because it's been it's been eating at me.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: We I don't know, it's a couple of months ago.
Speaker 1: Uh we got on and and uh, you know, I
Speaker 1: I explained that that Jerryann and I had separated, and
Speaker 1: and uh and then that I had started on going
Speaker 1: on a couple of dates and and uh and we
Speaker 1: had those conversations, and afterward I really felt like, oh shit,
Speaker 1: what am I I mean, we had those conversations. I
Speaker 1: didn't talk to my sons and tell them that I
Speaker 1: was going to be doing that something like that. I
Speaker 1: didn't talk to Jerry Ann to say I was going
Speaker 1: to be doing something like that. And I really I
Speaker 1: had no right to do that. It it I shouldn't
Speaker 1: be talking about that without without talking to them. But
Speaker 1: but things have evolved, and and they've evolved to the
Speaker 1: point where I am very very sure that that I
Speaker 1: want to stay married to my wife. I love my
Speaker 1: wife very very much. I've been through this period of
Speaker 1: time where I've had a lot of alone time to
Speaker 1: reflect on things and realize the things I wasn't doing
Speaker 1: that that I should have been doing, and and you know,
Speaker 1: a bunch of things that that that happened that that
Speaker 1: made the last few years difficult, and and so I
Speaker 1: just wanted to say, Number one, she's amazing, and I'm
Speaker 1: incredibly proud to be married to her, and it is
Speaker 1: absolutely my intent to to make that another thirty years
Speaker 1: and uh and to keep my family together, and and
Speaker 1: for all the right reasons and the right reasons being
Speaker 1: this is the woman I loved. I went on a
Speaker 1: number of dates and they were completely uninspiring. And and
Speaker 1: you know, you you realize I mean in a way
Speaker 1: it's it's good because it reinforces what you have and
Speaker 1: and and makes you realize what you have in that
Speaker 1: person you love. And and she's amazing. She's as I
Speaker 1: said that that day, I mean, the person I admire
Speaker 1: more than anyone on earth. And I'm really proud to
Speaker 1: be your husband. And I'm really glad that you know,
Speaker 1: giving it a try. I don't know. I don't know
Speaker 1: if she's gonna she's gonna reciprocate everything that I'm doing,
Speaker 1: but I'm I'm trying very hard.
Speaker 2: No one will I understand it completely. I think, well,
Speaker 2: first of all, no one's gonna fall through for having
Speaker 2: a few dates. That's just the maning you. And when
Speaker 2: you get it, when your heart gets hurt and your
Speaker 2: wife says, I'm gonna go, you know you can't just
Speaker 2: sit around and do nothing. I've been in those shoes, obviously.
Speaker 2: Look I'm different. I was a cat. I stepped out
Speaker 2: of my manage and didn't have the balls to say
Speaker 2: this should end. I'm gonna go find someone. It just
Speaker 2: happened to me. But yeah, I love being with Andrea.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't change it, but I know what damage it
Speaker 2: did to my children and my wife, and now you know,
Speaker 2: I try to fix it. I've been trying to fix it.
Speaker 2: And it takes a lot of talking, a lot of
Speaker 2: hanging out together and let the kids see you with
Speaker 2: mommy again and there's no fighting, no yelling. It takes
Speaker 2: a lot of patience. But I'm with you. You know,
Speaker 2: I don't like being alone. I'm not good on my own,
Speaker 2: never have been. You know, we all we have sons
Speaker 2: basically the same age. They're very busy to last summer
Speaker 2: of the before college and seeing all their buddies and
Speaker 2: roccos having a ball being alone. But you know, pretty
Speaker 2: soon it's going to be just me, me and the podcast.
Speaker 2: Don't forget I have no dog meaning to you. That
Speaker 2: takes a lot out of you too, So I get it, bro,
Speaker 2: I get one to prepare things and I don't want.
Speaker 2: I would advise you not to listen to anybody, just
Speaker 2: follow your heart. If that's what you want to do,
Speaker 2: then do it. You know you've done the impossible in
Speaker 2: your life and career with respect to your what you've
Speaker 2: done in your in your adult years, and jerry anstill
Speaker 2: loves you, but obviously things needed to be fixed. Maybe
Speaker 2: those weren't explained too well or what have you. But
Speaker 2: you know, you guys are together a long time. I
Speaker 2: don't think deep down inside, I don't think many of
Speaker 2: us are prepared to be with someone for thirty years.
Speaker 1: And we were both faithful to each other for thirty years.
Speaker 1: And you know, when thirty years, even if you're even
Speaker 1: if you're getting an A and ninety percent of those
Speaker 1: years are good, you still have three bad years in there.
Speaker 1: And we had a couple of bad years in there
Speaker 1: towards the end, and you know, we let some things
Speaker 1: get in the way and hopefully, hopefully we can get
Speaker 1: back there. And you know, like you, I don't do
Speaker 1: well being alone. But this isn't just because I don't
Speaker 1: want to be alone. I know who I want to
Speaker 1: be with. But but yeah, I've been through a lot
Speaker 1: of therapy here in the last a month plus, and
Speaker 1: different than therapy I've done before, and lots of going
Speaker 1: back to childhood and and it's amazing the stuff that
Speaker 1: you don't think about every day, and and how it
Speaker 1: how it impacts you. But you know, uh, it's it's
Speaker 1: interesting to learn about it because one of my big
Speaker 1: things is is abandonment. Yeah, and uh, why do you
Speaker 1: think that is?
Speaker 2: Your father and mother are always with you. Why do
Speaker 2: you think abandonment is an issue?
Speaker 1: Well, they were, they were My mother was always there,
Speaker 1: my father, you know, they were married, and my father
Speaker 1: was gone a lot, worked during the week and and
Speaker 1: golf of the weekends. But my my father could be
Speaker 1: a real asshole, and he was. He was particularly hard
Speaker 1: on me, and I learned over the years of method
Speaker 1: of dealing with him that you know, you just sort
Speaker 1: of you just sort of do that. And as the
Speaker 1: therapist would say, well, Mike, you became a pleaser. You
Speaker 1: just would say what they wanted to hear. And and
Speaker 1: therapists speaky speaking of what my father wanted to hear
Speaker 1: or what my wife wanted to hear. And because because
Speaker 1: you had this, uh this fear of abandonment, you were
Speaker 1: afraid if you told them the absolute truth about this
Speaker 1: or that, that they might leave you. And that's that's
Speaker 1: like that sits way inside of you.
Speaker 2: I'm like, fuck, okay, it's like a validation. They call
Speaker 2: that a validation addict. You need to make other people happy.
Speaker 2: And and I'll tell you, you know, I look back when
Speaker 2: it was happening. I didn't realize it, but I look
Speaker 2: back on Lola and I had a big fight one
Speaker 2: night where I actually put my hands on her and
Speaker 2: kind of moved her out of the way. She tripped
Speaker 2: and she hit a safe face on the side of
Speaker 2: the wall and opened a cheek up. Cops came, two
Speaker 2: female cops. They did. They said I was in the right,
Speaker 2: believe it or not. She had to go to his
Speaker 2: sister's house. But then a few years later I got
Speaker 2: locked up for yelling too loud. So the score was even.
Speaker 2: But I realized that, you know, my son slept in
Speaker 2: my bed a lot because Lola was going through menopause.
Speaker 2: He was on the couch. So Roco slept in me
Speaker 2: a lot in a master bedroom. And I realized, as
Speaker 2: a little boy, taking back to my childhood, he was
Speaker 2: the cop. He wanted to protect mommy, so he would
Speaker 2: stay with daddy. I know that because from my father.
Speaker 2: When I was a kid, my father would drink drive
Speaker 2: home from a wedding. You could tell he was, you know,
Speaker 2: feeling good, and I would just respond would be in
Speaker 2: the backseat trying to talk to frohim about high school
Speaker 2: and the war, anything to get his mind off of
Speaker 2: being mad at my mother for whatever reason. So that's
Speaker 2: a little cop in us as little boys that I
Speaker 2: feel bad that Rocco had to do that. You know,
Speaker 2: that's not what a little kid should have to deal with.
Speaker 2: That's not his responsibility. So there's plenty of times I
Speaker 2: look back, I know that even though Lola was a
Speaker 2: pain in my ass, I know who I am as
Speaker 2: a man. I grew up. But the man who the
Speaker 2: house was his castle, and you couldn't tell him shit.
Speaker 2: He worked. My mother stayed home. Rosalie married a man
Speaker 2: very similar and Jack the house his castle, stubborn Spanish
Speaker 2: Italian guy. And you look back on those fifty eight
Speaker 2: year marriages, not every year was good, and people, mainly women,
Speaker 2: have to sit there and eat it because back in
Speaker 2: our day, my mother didn't why she worked part time jobs,
Speaker 2: didn't have a license. Where the fuck are you gonna go?
Speaker 2: You can't divorce the guy, you know, they have to
Speaker 2: stick around and deal with it for the love of
Speaker 2: the family.
Speaker 1: Yep. Well, look, today was a particularly important day because
Speaker 1: of which triggered me into wanting to say, this is
Speaker 1: so much of what became the Bad Years got started
Speaker 1: by a bunch of bullshit that Anthony Fauci did. And
Speaker 1: so you know, watching this thing, I don't know if
Speaker 1: you got a chance to watch any.
Speaker 2: Of this this morning, I said it was a fraud
Speaker 2: from day one.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean one hundred and eleven times he took
Speaker 1: the Fifth and you know, this guy has a blanket
Speaker 1: immunity that was handed to him. And so if if
Speaker 1: if you're sitting there and you have a pardon from
Speaker 1: the President of the United States that says you have
Speaker 1: immunity against anything, why do you need to take the
Speaker 1: Fifth Amendment on anything? Because all that is doing is
Speaker 1: protecting you from self incrimination. But you're already protected from
Speaker 1: self incrimination because you've got the pardon. And so I
Speaker 1: don't know if something major illegal, I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: know who's gonna interpret that. I'm sure that they're going
Speaker 1: to try and go after him for contempt because if
Speaker 1: you how do you take something to protect you from
Speaker 1: being incriminated if you already have something that protects you
Speaker 1: from being incriminated, It makes no sense.
Speaker 2: But I've sense the guy was full of shit. We
Speaker 2: all's the long as we went through COVID, we all
Speaker 2: know that that's not what we need. Six feet doesn't
Speaker 2: mean shit. Mask don't mean shit. Letting thirty people in
Speaker 2: a supermarket at a time with a line outside. Men
Speaker 2: walking into a restaurant, put your mask on, sit down
Speaker 2: a table, take your mask off. If you go to
Speaker 2: the bathroom, put it back on. What a clever disease
Speaker 2: this was. It just knew when you were eating not
Speaker 2: to attack you. It was all horseshit.
Speaker 1: Well, but how fucked up do you have to be
Speaker 1: to at the same time you're doing all these things
Speaker 1: public you are. You are taking the most successful nation
Speaker 1: on Earth down a path they've never been down before.
Speaker 1: You're basically shutting the country down. You're shutting the schools down,
Speaker 1: You're shutting business down. You're small business all the church.
Speaker 1: Nobody can get married, nobody can have a funeral. I mean,
Speaker 1: all of this stuff is going on, and then you're
Speaker 1: going home at night and you're writing shit in your
Speaker 1: little diary that contradicts all of this stuff you do. First,
Speaker 1: why would you fucking keep a diary? I have no idea,
Speaker 1: but it's so freaking crazy, and then you're you're capturing
Speaker 1: like every precious moment with Julia Roberts And you know,
Speaker 1: I mean what I know.
Speaker 2: I saw the video of Julia Robinson just fawning all
Speaker 2: over him.
Speaker 1: Was disgusting.
Speaker 2: It's disgusting, so stupid. You know, we never have to
Speaker 2: see our movie stars out this way years ago. Now
Speaker 2: they're all uncovered. They're so full of shit. There's such hypocrites.
Speaker 2: But for doctor Fauci to sit there and go, you know,
Speaker 2: I fear that entertaining dancing with the stars while forty
Speaker 2: thousand people they are dying. You know, I'm bigger than
Speaker 2: the president. The shit he wrote down that diary, which.
Speaker 1: All the magazine covers, the the applications he had his
Speaker 1: team filling out to get all these awards, and the
Speaker 1: money he raked in from these fucking awards. It's unbelievable.
Speaker 1: And I sit there and I think about it and
Speaker 1: go and I don't want to air a bunch of
Speaker 1: a bunch of private stuff. But but those policies and
Speaker 1: what happened on college campus that my son attended, UH
Speaker 1: were incredibly damaging, and UH I ought to be able
Speaker 1: to sue the United States government. I want to be
Speaker 1: able to sue that university. I ought to be able
Speaker 1: to sue every fucking one of them, because it's unbelievable
Speaker 1: the fucking damage that I mean, there's no tallying the
Speaker 1: damage that this guy caused.
Speaker 2: Even if I just think about high school, because my
Speaker 2: mind was back to high school. No prom, no graduation,
Speaker 2: no scholarships. Sports are over. You can't even smile at
Speaker 2: the hot chick next to you because you're both wearing masks.
Speaker 2: Think of all the things we had fun with in
Speaker 2: high school all taken away. Sit there, we get a
Speaker 2: mask on and learned and everything else.
Speaker 1: All the fun is gone, taking away the number of
Speaker 1: small businesses that were forced to close.
Speaker 2: How come the big retail how come the big box
Speaker 2: retailers didn't get didn't get hit. I mean, churches got hit,
Speaker 2: momb and pop stores got hit. But the big brick
Speaker 2: and mortars they seem to weather it.
Speaker 1: They're all fine, just well, because the must buy products
Speaker 1: you still had to buy, and you bought them online
Speaker 1: and got them delivered and they come from those stores. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you know, the destroying business you're stunting. We already
Speaker 1: have you know, have gone from top five in the
Speaker 1: world to thirty and fifty rank in English and math,
Speaker 1: and then we take our kids out of school for
Speaker 1: two fucking you. I mean all the things that I
Speaker 1: mean it is. It might be trillions of dollars of
Speaker 1: damage if somebody was able to actually tally the imp
Speaker 1: and he's there with a fucking smirk on his face.
Speaker 1: He won't turn around to look people in the eye
Speaker 1: that are standing up on some of these questions that
Speaker 1: Josh Holly's answers, asking and otherwise. And he's got six
Speaker 1: fucking lawyers in there with him. It's just and the
Speaker 1: fucking Democrats are ball washing him in the middle of
Speaker 1: all that shit. It's disgusting.
Speaker 2: This is going to play a big role in the
Speaker 2: big terms and the next election. People are really starting
Speaker 2: to see just how crazy the Democrats are, especially the
Speaker 2: most outspoken progressive of them. But they're damaging themselves, I
Speaker 2: think beyond repair for a number of views. Americans don't
Speaker 2: want to see this. I don't believe in what they're pushing.
Speaker 2: Americans don't look at Faucia some kind of savior role.
Speaker 2: I think most of us are kind of, you know, like,
Speaker 2: this guy's no good. I'm on board saying he's a
Speaker 2: prick from day one. But yeah, it's disgusting, but we've
Speaker 2: seen this happen before. But so many people that get
Speaker 2: called to the carpet and then they get ripped into
Speaker 2: and nothing happens. I really think, even though he's eighty five,
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna have to pay a price, and
Speaker 2: I think it might be prison.
Speaker 1: Well, we'll see what the heck happens with that. But
Speaker 1: but the is up until today, and I will see
Speaker 1: what happens today. But up until today, none of this
Speaker 1: diary stuff has gotten any coverage in the mainstream media. Well,
Speaker 1: actually should say until last night, because a very interesting
Speaker 1: thing happened last night. I'll send this to you. But
Speaker 1: John Ziggler, who you know, I do the Death of
Speaker 1: Journalism podcasts with, has has a good relationship with a
Speaker 1: guy the named Alex Michaelson, who now has an evening
Speaker 1: show on CNN, and and ELK has had John on
Speaker 1: a few times over the over the past month, UH
Speaker 1: had him on to speak extensively about the Epstein Files issue,
Speaker 1: at which John's very deeply studied on that and UH
Speaker 1: and John is probably you know, as studied and investigative
Speaker 1: journalists on COVID, origins of COVID, all of that, all
Speaker 1: of that stuff, and he had him on last night
Speaker 1: on CNN and John went at a at a ten
Speaker 1: on on CNN, off on on Fauci and they let
Speaker 1: it happen. I'll send it to you. Uh, and it's
Speaker 1: gotten Uh, it's gotten some real virality. Uh and so
Speaker 1: you know, we'll uh we'll see what what happens there.
Speaker 1: But I was I was surprised. John was surprised because
Speaker 1: he knew he was going on last night, but that
Speaker 1: was already set for him to go on. He didn't
Speaker 1: know what the topic was going to be, and the
Speaker 1: Fauci stuff was out, and he thought, there's no way
Speaker 1: they're going to let me talk about Fauci, and they
Speaker 1: did so right, So uh, to look, maybe I'll just
Speaker 1: I'll just post it on the Facebook page so people
Speaker 1: can so people can take a look at it. So
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's the power of this show, dude,
Speaker 1: but you know that New York State, Uh put put
Speaker 1: the the delay in and I am not letting the
Speaker 1: the AI teacher be deployed.
Speaker 2: Oh it's perfect, exactly what we said. Ida for the jump,
Speaker 2: I'm taking.
Speaker 1: I'm taking we should take full credit for this, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, what else could have changed their minds? It
Speaker 1: had to be exposure to the show. But yeah, now
Speaker 1: they're they're saying, let's say, after after a Western New
Speaker 1: York school district tried and failed to introduce a robotic
Speaker 1: teacher driven by artificial generative intelligence at high school, the
Speaker 1: state teachers Union is called going on officials to enact
Speaker 1: an enforceable set of rules across all of New York's
Speaker 1: public schools on the use of the new technology. So
Speaker 1: I think this spawned the Teachers' union into action, and
Speaker 1: now what they're going to try to do is lay
Speaker 1: down a slate of rules. I'm sure very prominent among
Speaker 1: those rules is going to be the no hot AI
Speaker 1: teacher robots.
Speaker 2: Of course, what are they thinking? I mean, I always
Speaker 2: say on my show, I want to be in the
Speaker 2: room when these some of these decisions were made. And
Speaker 2: there's so many like, not to get off topic, but
Speaker 2: the cracker barrel lady who finally walked away resigned, who changed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you like, I want to be in.
Speaker 2: The room and go what are you doing? What are
Speaker 2: you doing? Your audience likes what they have. Don't market
Speaker 2: it to you, market it to them. I don't know
Speaker 2: why these people are so dumb.
Speaker 1: No, the Dylan Maulvanian A bud light can't. Earlier this month,
Speaker 1: New York Focus whatever that is, reported that Salamanca City
Speaker 1: School District in Cattara County was moving forward with a
Speaker 1: robotic teaching aid to be placed in the district high school.
Speaker 1: The robot from the company Real Robotics No Rerobotics is
Speaker 1: the company. A female appearing robot named Sally with silicone skin,
Speaker 1: long brown hair, and a moving upper body was to
Speaker 1: be placed into a that's just a moving upper body
Speaker 1: on campus and set up to interact with students and
Speaker 1: provide educational assistance. Well, yeah, the robot was going to
Speaker 1: be part of the district's AI and robotics courses, which
Speaker 1: seek to prepare students for jobs in this growing field. Yes,
Speaker 1: well that is not gonna Well it's not canceled period,
Speaker 1: it's postponed, pending this this new slate of rules that
Speaker 1: the state is going to.
Speaker 2: Inter Listen, I think we're going to bury this. They're
Speaker 2: not going to have report it. But I bet you
Speaker 2: that a number of kids, like we suggested, put their
Speaker 2: hands on the doll inappropriate places. They were all laughing
Speaker 2: about it because that's what little boys do. Uh, And
Speaker 2: they realize, oh, this is we went too far with this.
Speaker 2: If they're gonna do it, and I hope they don't,
Speaker 2: you got to make her more like the teachers we
Speaker 2: had that we had no wet dreams over put it
Speaker 2: that way, I mean, outside of missus, Ms Mafuci and
Speaker 2: in each tory the playing teacher who wore no bra
Speaker 2: and outside, make it a fifty year old teacher, like
Speaker 2: make it missus, mister Luca, make it the people that
Speaker 2: we went to, Miss Proctor. Making an old lady, not
Speaker 2: a young, hot Asian chick.
Speaker 1: I don't think she's an Asian.
Speaker 2: Look to be a little a little bit a long
Speaker 2: black hair, something about her.
Speaker 1: I don't think she was Asian. But you know, I'm
Speaker 1: giving us credit for that one. So we're taking care
Speaker 1: of you.
Speaker 2: But what you mentioned is that robot is made by
Speaker 2: a company that does sex dolls. Now, how do you
Speaker 2: not uncover that as you move forward in this direction?
Speaker 2: If you're a school district, how do you not know, oh,
Speaker 2: they also make sex dolls.
Speaker 1: You can't because all these that superintendent is some mega
Speaker 1: wokie weirdo. I mean, they just don't see the world
Speaker 1: the same way most of us do. Okay, So this
Speaker 1: morning I'm watching I turned on what's called Fox and Friends,
Speaker 1: and they're they've got the the guy who's really good
Speaker 1: who reports from Israel, Trey yinst I'm talking about, and
Speaker 1: he's reporting on Trump's comments about about Iran, and he asked,
Speaker 1: this is what he says. He says, he said, then
Speaker 1: the President said we are going to we are going
Speaker 1: to bomb the fing s out of them, And I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: wait a minute. If it's the president of the United
Speaker 1: States and his direct quote is We're going to bomb
Speaker 1: the fucking ship out of him in the in the
Speaker 1: interest of journal aren't I going to be clear with
Speaker 1: the of the FCC. If I say the President said
Speaker 1: we're gonna bomb the fucking shit out of them.
Speaker 2: You should know more than I do. You dealt with
Speaker 2: the FCC in your career. I mean, they.
Speaker 1: Totally were in the clear to be able to do that.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, Journalists say shit all the time. Congress says shit.
Speaker 2: I mean, everybody's cursing ow thanks to Trump's attitude. It
Speaker 2: wasn't like this, but Biden before him, So yeah, I'm
Speaker 2: all for it. And if the President says it, say
Speaker 2: it exactly how it is, called him directly, and I'm
Speaker 2: I was sick of him always thinking we're going to
Speaker 2: wait a week, we're gonna make a deal, We're very
Speaker 2: close to a deal. We will never have a deal
Speaker 2: with these people. This is a slow play, thousand year war.
Speaker 2: They've been doing it forever. They they hear they want
Speaker 2: to take us over. Whenever you see in religion praying
Speaker 2: in the streets when they don't pray in the streets
Speaker 2: in their own home countries, they're showing you we're here,
Speaker 2: do something about it, and we don't do shit about it.
Speaker 2: So bomb the shit out of them, the fucking shit
Speaker 2: to them. I've seen people who are living in Iran
Speaker 2: saying that they love that Yahoo, they love Trump. They
Speaker 2: want the name cities and streets after these two men.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
Speaker 2: That's how badly they want our help. And we're doing
Speaker 2: very calculated bomb and we're not just really nearly killing civilians.
Speaker 2: It takes time to know exactly where to bomb, when
Speaker 2: to bomb. There's a lot of intel that we're not
Speaker 2: privy to.
Speaker 1: You know this he's talking about he's talking about bridges,
Speaker 1: and he's talking about power plants and and uh and such.
Speaker 1: But but we're still taking it's not he's not. We
Speaker 1: shouldn't still be fucking talking. How many times do you
Speaker 1: have to sit down with somebody, have them lie to
Speaker 1: you and then, you know, completely go against what they
Speaker 1: said they were going to do, and and and the
Speaker 1: part of the problem is that you have the military
Speaker 1: and the supposed leaders that are not necessarily in the
Speaker 1: same thing, so one person can tell you one thing
Speaker 1: and then somebody else can go and do something else.
Speaker 1: And because the chain of command isn't exactly stable there.
Speaker 1: But uh, you know, bomb bombing, bombing the fucking shit
Speaker 1: out of is actually, you know, your best strategy. Trump
Speaker 1: and Fox News. If he says it, say it, you
Speaker 1: can freaking say it.
Speaker 2: Say it.
Speaker 1: I wonder if anybody, I wonder if anybody see and that.
Speaker 2: I'll say it because they make it. They're gonna make
Speaker 2: it look like Trump's really vulgar. But I bet they
Speaker 2: might say it on one of their shows. But look it, man,
Speaker 2: we can't let this happen anymore. It's anybody who thinks
Speaker 2: that it's a needless war. Just has no clue what
Speaker 2: bad people can do when they have some kind of
Speaker 2: power over you. We know their missiles can reach America
Speaker 2: and they're trying to get your nuclear He's saving He's
Speaker 2: the only president with the bulls Obama, Bush and and
Speaker 2: other people. President Biden. They didn't go face to face.
Speaker 2: They let these people run roughshot on America, killing people,
Speaker 2: killing soldiers. And I'll say one what they about people
Speaker 2: in the armed service. I don't want to see anybody die.
Speaker 2: I hate that. But listen, you weren't drafted, you elected
Speaker 2: to go into the service. You knew you could die.
Speaker 2: You went there because you want to protect the country.
Speaker 2: Why people on the left don't and and the right
Speaker 2: don't understand this. You got to some edgits are gonna
Speaker 2: break when you make an omelet. And it's sad, but
Speaker 2: look when my father went towards seventeen years old. Well
Speaker 2: it's two brothers because they wanted to save the world.
Speaker 2: Don't cry so much for these soldiers. They're wonderful people,
Speaker 2: that courageous people, but they knew what could happen to
Speaker 2: them once they left America. That's it. I mean, I
Speaker 2: give my I love them all for making us safe
Speaker 2: and allowing us to do shit like this and be safe.
Speaker 2: But they knew what could happen, Yeah.
Speaker 1: For sure, just like a sixteen year old who signed
Speaker 1: up to be a life card in Well in California
Speaker 1: knew what could happen. But if you watched that.
Speaker 2: Entire video, he's a man amazing first, I.
Speaker 1: Mean, I have so many questions. I mean, that's like
Speaker 1: the most violent water I've ever seen in my life.
Speaker 1: What the fuck is a ten year old doing anywhere
Speaker 1: near that water? And where are the parents of the
Speaker 1: ten year old? I've yet to see and now I
Speaker 1: haven't paid.
Speaker 2: Or some shit. Yeah, it's very bad. There's a lot
Speaker 2: of a lot of life saving stories this summer, a
Speaker 2: lot of shock by stories. It's been a crazy summer
Speaker 2: around the country.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean that one, it looks it's so
Speaker 1: hard to watch because it's so frustrating to see the
Speaker 1: lifeguard get you know, uh, you know, wave comes in
Speaker 1: it and it goes back out and now he's got
Speaker 1: the kid, but and the kid's not helping at all.
Speaker 1: He's not able to help it all. He's not walking,
Speaker 1: he's not I mean, he's having to lift him, drag him,
Speaker 1: and then he's trying to walk on. Then another huge
Speaker 1: wave comes and slams him again, and the rip tide
Speaker 1: tries to pull them out again. I mean easy, the
Speaker 1: lifeguard could have freaking drives.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, of course. In fact, when you save someone's life,
Speaker 2: the odds of you dying greatly increased because people tend
Speaker 2: to fight you off. They don't understand to stay calm.
Speaker 2: My nephew and my nephew Jackie and jack were both
Speaker 2: lifeguards and Jackie worked at Field two, Field three. You
Speaker 2: know he was out out east as well. It's tough,
Speaker 2: I mean people. I actually have a joke. My mother
Speaker 2: told two jokes in her life and one was about
Speaker 2: a lifeguard story. Real quick. So Jewish mom's on the
Speaker 2: beach and she wakes up from the nap to see
Speaker 2: her son is far out and he's drowning. He's putting
Speaker 2: his hand up, he's yelling, and the mother's freaking out.
Speaker 2: She calls the life but please my son, my son.
Speaker 2: They got off the chair that jump in their boat.
Speaker 2: They're rowing like crazy. The kid's going down, has his hand.
Speaker 2: They finally get to the kid fifty odds out. They
Speaker 2: get him They put him in the boat, pumping his chest,
Speaker 2: bring him back to the sand. They dump on his sand,
Speaker 2: the mouth to mouth, pumping his chest. The kid comes alive.
Speaker 2: The mother's so happy, and she says he had a hat.
Speaker 2: Very ungrateful. But yeah, I mean, I've seen people get rescued.
Speaker 2: It's a dangerous thing. The lifeguard's life is in peril
Speaker 2: as well. You got to hold them the right way
Speaker 2: under that chin, swim in your left hand or right hand,
Speaker 2: whatever you favor. The waves are smacking you.
Speaker 1: It's no remember how you get once an hour four
Speaker 1: guys to get out of the chair. They grab those
Speaker 1: rowboats and they race into the surf and then bring
Speaker 1: them out and stuff. But it's one of those jobs
Speaker 1: where you uh, you know, you spend ninety percent of
Speaker 1: your time working on your bod, your tan and checking
Speaker 1: out girls, and then all of a sudden, there's life superhero.
Speaker 1: You've got to spring into freaking action because something really
Speaker 1: dangerous is happening in front of you. So it's uh,
Speaker 1: you know, ninety glamor you don't feel.
Speaker 2: Too There was a they had weights. They had weights
Speaker 2: in their little cabin. The lifeguards, you no, they you know,
Speaker 2: have some lunch. I still smell the beach back, I
Speaker 2: still feel the heat on my feet and the smell
Speaker 2: of the beach cigarettes, copper tone beer and the man
Speaker 2: selling fudgy wedgie bars.
Speaker 1: Great, I remember the fudgi is uh has the new
Speaker 1: Baywatch premiered yet?
Speaker 2: I don't think so. But I have plenty to say
Speaker 2: about that too. David Chokichi, who was big on that show,
Speaker 2: they put him to test there. How do you feel
Speaker 2: about it?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 2: As well? It's interesting casting choices. It's not just actors.
Speaker 2: There's also plenty of influences on the set, and he's
Speaker 2: trying to act like, what's a good idea? It's a good,
Speaker 2: good business decision. No, it's not all you actors spent
Speaker 2: years studying, come to La get get no work, no work,
Speaker 2: no work. You finally get something that sticks after years
Speaker 2: of practicing, years of auditioning, and these fucking influencers get
Speaker 2: a job because they have two million followers. Don't tell
Speaker 2: me you're okay with that, Chokichi. You know that sucks.
Speaker 1: So you're not a fan of Livvy dunn On.
Speaker 2: I'm a fan of her body, but I like acting,
Speaker 2: not that I'm looking Baywatch for great acting, But yeah,
Speaker 2: I'll watch some jiggle jiggle girls. Of course I love
Speaker 2: I love tits and ass and pretty face. Livy Dun
Speaker 2: looks phenomenal by the way I saw her outfit the
Speaker 2: other day in the paper. Yeah, there's plenty of good
Speaker 2: looking chicks out there. But I don't know. I just
Speaker 2: to me, the real bay Watch was the hof and
Speaker 2: Pam Lanerson and you know all those Yasmin Blee, all
Speaker 2: those I don't.
Speaker 1: Recall being struck by the acting ability of anything of
Speaker 1: any of those people in the in the old version.
Speaker 1: So maybe Livial surprises.
Speaker 2: Well, look, funny of these influences are going to become
Speaker 2: stars in Hollywood, but it's a different entrance, it's a
Speaker 2: different rent. Like you know, I studied and studied method
Speaker 2: and went out here and came an auditioned for shit,
Speaker 2: and you know, it kind of makes you more aware
Speaker 2: of what it takes to become an actor and get work.
Speaker 2: But these kids who spend time on Instagram taking videos
Speaker 2: themselves or po for selfies, the fact that they led
Speaker 2: into Hollywood graciously to starring movies, I don't that's I
Speaker 2: think that's a sad day in Hollywood. That's not what Hollywood's.
Speaker 1: About I may be totally fucked up, and no one
Speaker 1: else on earth might enjoy this. But with the boys
Speaker 1: back here, you know, they they've seen everything. They you know,
Speaker 1: because they they have every streaming service and know all
Speaker 1: the fun and shows and all that shit. And and
Speaker 1: so we were looking at some stuff on demand, and
Speaker 1: Jax wants to watch this, this movie. And for some reason,
Speaker 1: I can be really entertained by a horrible movie with
Speaker 1: horrible acting, like it becomes the acting is so bad
Speaker 1: it becomes funny, and then you are focused on the
Speaker 1: bad acting and you enjoy the hour and a half
Speaker 1: of watching and who seeing who can be worse? And
Speaker 1: like you're wondering where the hell did they cast this thing?
Speaker 1: They go to like Walmart and just recruit people and
Speaker 1: go back and do It's crazy how bad some of
Speaker 1: the acting is.
Speaker 2: And I watched a bad movie last night for about
Speaker 2: an hour called Five Pounds of Pressure. I didn't know
Speaker 2: any I knew one actor. The rest were just people.
Speaker 2: They had no experience. It was awful. But you know,
Speaker 2: sometimes when my daughter and I and her friends, sometimes
Speaker 2: she'd come over the house and we would watch They
Speaker 2: would watch really bad horror movies that was so bad
Speaker 2: you laughed the whole way through it. One was about
Speaker 2: tire that just kept chasing people and running them over,
Speaker 2: just a tire. They had nothing to do with anything.
Speaker 2: And the acting is so awful that you have to
Speaker 2: stick around because we're all laughing, like it's a great comedy. Dude.
Speaker 1: I remember one my father made me. It was a
Speaker 1: black and white that my father made me watch where
Speaker 1: the monster was a tree and and it was and
Speaker 1: the movie had to be made in the fifties and
Speaker 1: so the effects were so bad, and the monster monster
Speaker 1: was a tree, and so when it came to get someone,
Speaker 1: you would see the tree kind of shuffling along the
Speaker 1: ground and then it would use it would use its limbs.
Speaker 1: It would use its limbs to grab the guy it
Speaker 1: was it was gonna kill, and it would move its
Speaker 1: limbs like, you know, the speed of a sloth. But
Speaker 1: somehow people would never escape from the limbs moving at
Speaker 1: like one mile an hour to come together. And then
Speaker 1: it would take the person and magically, like a mouth
Speaker 1: would open in its trunk and it would eat. It
Speaker 1: would just grab the person and put them in and eat.
Speaker 1: And it was the funniest fucking thing. But one strategy
Speaker 1: they do with these this is what struck me the
Speaker 1: other night, is this movie there's always one over the hill. Well,
Speaker 1: there's always one person who's really on the the downside
Speaker 1: of their career who is made into the star, and
Speaker 1: they're usually the number three or four on the bill.
Speaker 1: And it was that Dermott mulrooney was in this movie,
Speaker 1: is the star of this movie. And he and in
Speaker 1: the movie he's a badass.
Speaker 2: Of course he's so bad.
Speaker 1: Just look at him, Dermott. Did he ever play anything
Speaker 1: other than like someone's love interests or you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: and there he's and he's he's just not credible as
Speaker 1: a tough guy. And then I never realized how bad
Speaker 1: an actor he was. But put a bunch of bad
Speaker 1: actors around, somebody that's a bad actor.
Speaker 2: And well, I went to watch a movie today because
Speaker 2: the more I look at Denflix on Amazon Prime, and
Speaker 2: I spent an hour trying to find a movie. And
Speaker 2: I'm never thoroughly satisfied or rarely satisfied. So I go, oh,
Speaker 2: here's a movie. Olivia Wilde was what the was it
Speaker 2: called some some kind of vendetta or vengeance. Either way,
Speaker 2: she was a woman. Now she's a pip squeak. The
Speaker 2: movie begins her punching a heavy bag really hard because
Speaker 2: she's so tough close up on the face. And then
Speaker 2: the next scene is she's sitting with a man in
Speaker 2: in his office in a business suit and she's telling him,
Speaker 2: you're gonna give you a wife seventy five percent of
Speaker 2: your salary. She's gonna get the house because she goes
Speaker 2: after men who abuse their wives. But the guy gets
Speaker 2: up and says, what are you a lawyer? She karate
Speaker 2: chops him in the throat, he falls in his chad.
Speaker 2: She beats the shit out of him. The next scene,
Speaker 2: his wife is there and he's got blood everywhere in
Speaker 2: his face. Olivia Wall's hands are bloodied and he's signing
Speaker 2: his life away to his wife, who's happy in the corner.
Speaker 1: That's exactly how it happened.
Speaker 2: Six minutes in. I can't take it. Who the fuck
Speaker 2: said this is a great idea. The guy's two hundred
Speaker 2: and thirty pounds, he's one hundred and five. Soaknm up.
Speaker 2: But she beat the shit out of him, and he
Speaker 2: gave all his money to his wife. Get the fuck
Speaker 2: the ear No that it'll work.
Speaker 1: That'll work out. Hey.
Speaker 2: The Blob was something we watched his kids. The Blob
Speaker 2: came on TV once or twice a year after school,
Speaker 2: and it was all we could do and watch the blog.
Speaker 2: And that was a ridiculous premise as well, just a
Speaker 2: blobbersh shit trust swallowing people up.
Speaker 1: There was nothing scary about, you know, about a jar
Speaker 1: of fucking jelly chasing somebody out of a movie theater.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just's just no, there was nothing scary
Speaker 1: about that.
Speaker 2: Wasn't there a big actor in the Blob? But Steve McQueen, Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's right McQueen. Oh Man, Well, when I was talking
Speaker 2: out with Jones severans years ago, she got it. She
Speaker 2: was wasn't really working much, but she's so beautiful and talented.
Speaker 2: She got an offer, she says, I got an offer
Speaker 2: for a movie in Bulgaria. I said, god, Greg, she goes, no,
Speaker 2: why it's a horror movie. I need the money. But
Speaker 2: if I take it, I'll never work again. It's that
Speaker 2: bad a movie. That's what some actors have to deal with,
Speaker 2: you know, so not influences. They get put right in
Speaker 2: the big time, But real actors have to deal with
Speaker 2: shit like that down as the career starts to you know.
Speaker 1: All right, well, we're gonna have to check out this
Speaker 1: acting on Baylife got one for you don't know if
Speaker 1: you saw this. A thirty two year old woman and
Speaker 1: a seventy five year old man, we're busted for allegedly
Speaker 1: having loud sex in front of children at an apartment
Speaker 1: complex pool in Texas.
Speaker 2: Man, that's not good. I mean guy.
Speaker 1: Emily Parma was allegedly on top of Douglas Faith, who
Speaker 1: is forty three years her senior, grinding and thrusting and
Speaker 1: making loud sexual moans in the corner of a pool
Speaker 1: at the Central Texas Marketplace apartment complex in Waco. This
Speaker 1: is on Sunday. Witnesses called nine one one and told
Speaker 1: police that the freak show was making their children uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: So there are kids in this pool, and here's the
Speaker 1: thirty two and the seventy five year old going to
Speaker 1: When cops arrive, Faith confessed that Parma was on top
Speaker 1: of him, but he claimed they were not actually having
Speaker 1: sex because he has a penile implant.
Speaker 2: What does that matter?
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's not technically part of your
Speaker 1: no I define what define a penile? Implant. I mean,
Speaker 1: I've always heard.
Speaker 2: The loan's got one that he can I've heard that
Speaker 2: may not be true, but that was always a rumor
Speaker 2: that you press a button or you press something near
Speaker 2: that region and it gets hard right away, and then
Speaker 2: when you want to deflate it, you press it again
Speaker 2: and it goes away. Not sure if it's true. It's
Speaker 2: always been a rumor, but it's still sexile implant.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, it's one of those terms I'm afraid
Speaker 1: to search because I don't know what I'm subjecting myself to. Now,
Speaker 1: don't do it, because you're gonna get all kinds of
Speaker 1: freaking spam of people trying to sell you a pen.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: He did admit that there was sexual contact between the two.
Speaker 1: The pair were, what's the difference. I'm not actually having
Speaker 1: sex because it's a penile implant, but there was sexual contact, Okay.
Speaker 1: The pair were both arrested in charge with public lewdness.
Speaker 1: Faith was also charged with possession of okay, Big deally
Speaker 1: possession of marijuana. Uh okay. There both released on bomb.
Speaker 1: But the no, it wasn't really sex because I was
Speaker 1: using a penile implant.
Speaker 2: No, that's like saying I didn't really kiss her breast
Speaker 2: because she has an implant in her tip. It's the
Speaker 2: same thing. Implants are implants. It's not something you carry
Speaker 2: around with you and shove inside of girl.
Speaker 1: I mean if he was in the pool holding a
Speaker 1: dildo and playing with them, with the dillas, still, it's
Speaker 1: still sets, isn't it right?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is. And by the way, let's get let's
Speaker 2: get on this topic real quick. Having sex in water
Speaker 2: is not fun. There's no friction, not in the least.
Speaker 2: I don't like it at all, even the shower.
Speaker 1: The only thing worse is the mythical fabulous sex act
Speaker 1: of rolling in sand with waves breaking around. Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: nothing I'd rather be doing than having sex. Well, there's
Speaker 1: a pound of sand up my ass and waves breaking
Speaker 1: all around me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Bird, Lancaster and dever curve from here to eternity.
Speaker 2: It should be from here to my proctologist. Can't get
Speaker 2: a let sand out of your asshole vagina sand? Oh
Speaker 2: my Godmber must go through that all the time.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Remember the really uncomfortable hug between Apollo Creed and
Speaker 1: Rocky in the in the ocean surface, which was you know,
Speaker 1: first of all, if a guy can beat you in
Speaker 1: a sprint by like fifty yards over the course of
Speaker 1: your six weeks of aggressive training. Okay, you're you're not
Speaker 1: going to come back and be able to overtake him
Speaker 1: in the in the sprint. That was yeah. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of the realism of the Rocky
Speaker 1: training regimes. You know, the regiments I should say, like
Speaker 1: the let me go to Siberia so I can train
Speaker 1: as a Russian and uh gopher runs in boots in
Speaker 1: the snow. That's yeah.
Speaker 2: I heard he's writing one more Rocky. He just finished
Speaker 2: his book, and I heard he's going to do one.
Speaker 2: I guess it's gonna be him dying. That'd be the perfect,
Speaker 2: the perfect ending after all these years, fifty years of Rocky.
Speaker 2: I just hope he calls me. I'll jump in irragant
Speaker 2: for four or five weeks. That was the most amazing
Speaker 2: time in my life. He's a smart guy, but he
Speaker 2: sounds a little different now he's eighty. You can hear
Speaker 2: it in his voice. I'm not saying it's wrong. Everybody gets older,
Speaker 2: but man, he was something for me. And when I
Speaker 2: hung out one of in ninety six, he took me
Speaker 2: to his house and said here's where I write, here's
Speaker 2: my room where I look the blood out of my veins,
Speaker 2: and I'm going I see a Rocky statue in a
Speaker 2: Rambo statue in your back yard. No other actor has
Speaker 2: two definitive characters. And why are you still working? Goes, No,
Speaker 2: I got much more to do, and I'm thinking I'd
Speaker 2: be done if I was.
Speaker 1: No, there was a major drop that last season A
Speaker 1: Tulsa King was not good. No, I mean that the
Speaker 1: prior seasons were excellent. I mean you could see a
Speaker 1: significant drop.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe he just didn't like the story that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know what the heck it was, but yeah,
Speaker 1: but you know, it's gotta be hard to make because
Speaker 1: you couldn't make a movie with realistic boxing scenes because
Speaker 1: the fact is that any one of those punches that
Speaker 1: they show in those fights in those Rocky movies would
Speaker 1: end any normal fight because it's a knockout punch. Yet
Speaker 1: there's fifty of them around making contact. Right.
Speaker 2: Well, he pulls his butt and during the day, the
Speaker 2: way he did the fight scenes, we were in Mandalay
Speaker 2: Bay and for the fight scene we came out there
Speaker 2: was an actual fight. HBO was airing a fight I
Speaker 2: forget who it was, and they had the HBO equipment,
Speaker 2: so it was really realistic. But they Rocky, I mean
Speaker 2: Sly and the other boxer, they hit each other, just
Speaker 2: not with the force we see in the ring, but
Speaker 2: he broke his fingy one guy broke his two toes
Speaker 2: from fighting. They get pretty rough and that's the daytime.
Speaker 2: After that he goes into being regular Rocky without the fight.
Speaker 2: So we'd spend like six hours in the ring, and
Speaker 2: then the other six hours would be you know, easier
Speaker 2: acting for him and you know, street stuff, house stuff.
Speaker 2: But the ring, they go, they go, they go at
Speaker 2: it quite a bit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I believe they go at it quite a bit.
Speaker 1: But the scenes themselves are just like the other night.
Speaker 1: Law and I watched the The Thriller in Manila, No,
Speaker 1: not that, No, the the Rumble in the Jungle, the
Speaker 1: the Ali beating George Foreman, and watch that fight if
Speaker 1: you haven't watched it in years, it's amazing. It's But
Speaker 1: what is amazing is that Foreman couldn't punch Forman didn't
Speaker 1: know how to throw a punch. Foreman got so it
Speaker 1: was like ninety something degrees with ninety something percent humidity,
Speaker 1: they're fighting in a fucking jungle. This guy's never had
Speaker 1: anybody take him out of like the third round. He's
Speaker 1: used to go out there, throw like ten punches, knock
Speaker 1: a guy on his ass, and it's over. Ali's you know,
Speaker 1: doing the ropid dope thing and running all over the
Speaker 1: ring and where is this guy out? And by the
Speaker 1: end his punches are like he's more grabbing at him,
Speaker 1: he's not really and and and and Ali you know,
Speaker 1: hits him with a great combination. Then finally a nasty
Speaker 1: rights right here and and puts him down. But there's
Speaker 1: not felt.
Speaker 2: Like a scarecrow. They looked crazy falling, his arms were flailing.
Speaker 2: But you know what's the price for that victory? If
Speaker 2: you ask me that that had a lot to do
Speaker 2: with Ali having the brain injuries that he that he
Speaker 2: succumbed to later in life because he took so many
Speaker 2: punches from Foreman, but at that point was probably the
Speaker 2: most powerful puncher in the history of I think.
Speaker 1: He took more from Fraser. I think the Fraser fights
Speaker 1: with a And and Ken Norton, he had nasty fights
Speaker 1: for Fraser had nasty fights with Ken Norton. He he
Speaker 1: really didn't get hit badly in that foremant. I mean
Speaker 1: Foreman was so exhausted so early that it was I
Speaker 1: don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean, body blows a lot of body bows.
Speaker 1: Yeah, some body blows.
Speaker 2: But you know you can hit the liver, but I
Speaker 2: don't know how you toughen up your core like that
Speaker 2: and you get hit like a fucking mule kick to
Speaker 2: your liver and Ali's not going down. But you have
Speaker 2: Fraser Norton Foreman, Ernie Shavers. There was some big, heavy
Speaker 2: handed guys back then, and all he beat them all,
Speaker 2: No he didn't.
Speaker 1: He did, all right, dude, great hanging. Thank you. Folks.
Speaker 1: Don't know what happened to Kenny, but we will. We
Speaker 1: will make sure we tackle him and get him on
Speaker 1: here next week.
Speaker 2: She is probably have cheeseteak importance.
Speaker 1: Sure, that's what it is. Thanks folks, see it
