14
00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:47.479
<v Speaker 2>everybody gets a chance to get away and get on vacation.

15
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:49.000
<v Speaker 3>When was the last time you were on vacation? Bro?

16
00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:51.880
<v Speaker 1>So we my wife and I we went to Delaware.

17
00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:53.920
<v Speaker 1>I do believe I told you did in to Coastal

18
00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:56.039
<v Speaker 1>Delaware back at the beginning of June. Went to a

19
00:00:56.039 --> 00:00:56.719
<v Speaker 1>rehobe with beach.

20
00:00:56.880 --> 00:00:59.359
<v Speaker 3>Okay, okay, that's right, yeah, I remember you telling me that.

21
00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:00.119
<v Speaker 3>Good for you.

22
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:02.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean, look if you've got that vacation time, people

23
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:04.719
<v Speaker 2>take it. I mean, I'm taking a vacation day from

24
00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:07.040
<v Speaker 2>the show tomorrow morning so I can go to the.

25
00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:07.760
<v Speaker 3>Low City game.

26
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:11.599
<v Speaker 2>And because we opted, we opted out of the family

27
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:14.840
<v Speaker 2>vacation this year, we think we're gonna We're gonna try

28
00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:16.280
<v Speaker 2>to brave it and go out and see my folks

29
00:01:16.319 --> 00:01:18.799
<v Speaker 2>in Michigan for Thanksgiving. The problem is when you head

30
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:20.959
<v Speaker 2>up to Michigan for Thanksgiving, you never know if you're coming.

31
00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:21.319
<v Speaker 3>Home or not.

32
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:25.799
<v Speaker 1>Fly. Yeah, we dry okay.

33
00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:27.120
<v Speaker 3>But you just don't know if you're gonna make it back.

34
00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:29.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, if you can get the unlucky snowstorm at that

35
00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:31.480
<v Speaker 1>time of the year, because it is hit or miss

36
00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:32.799
<v Speaker 1>in November.

37
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:34.599
<v Speaker 3>It is it is and then and then nice. It's

38
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:35.560
<v Speaker 3>actually now.

39
00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:38.280
<v Speaker 2>Last time I went to Michigan, I went up for

40
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:42.040
<v Speaker 2>the NFL Draft in April. I flew, And if it's

41
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:44.760
<v Speaker 2>just me, it's easier. It's a little bit easier now

42
00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:47.040
<v Speaker 2>that my kids are older. It's easier to fly. But

43
00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:49.760
<v Speaker 2>it's just something about flying over the holidays. It'd almost

44
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:51.920
<v Speaker 2>rather be stuck on the roads than I would in

45
00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:54.799
<v Speaker 2>airport flying back for the holidays.

46
00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:58.760
<v Speaker 1>Nick talks about airport anxieties all the time. But he's pro,

47
00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:01.640
<v Speaker 1>he's pro flying on vacation. I haven't been on an

48
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:05.760
<v Speaker 1>airplane in maybe fifteen years. Yeah, it's pretty it's been

49
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:08.159
<v Speaker 1>a long time. And that's not because of anything like

50
00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:11.039
<v Speaker 1>a maybe it's a personal bad experience I had. I'm

51
00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:12.840
<v Speaker 1>not a fan of being in the air. I don't

52
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:15.400
<v Speaker 1>like turbulence on like, none of that stuff. So if

53
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:18.039
<v Speaker 1>I can avoid being on a plane, which again I've

54
00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:20.759
<v Speaker 1>done so for quite some time now, especially as an adult,

55
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:23.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna do that. And then plus I love to drive.

56
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:25.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, I'm kind of a control freaqu when it

57
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:28.400
<v Speaker 1>comes to being on the road, and I'm very comfortable,

58
00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:30.680
<v Speaker 1>and so I'd much rather take a road trip than

59
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:32.240
<v Speaker 1>fly on vacation any day.

60
00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:34.719
<v Speaker 3>I don't blame you there, I don't. I know.

61
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:39.919
<v Speaker 2>Nick is an airport bar officionado. He is his favorite beer.

62
00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:41.840
<v Speaker 3>It is. I'm with him.

63
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:46.199
<v Speaker 2>I mean, there is no beer that tastes better than

64
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:48.039
<v Speaker 2>that beer before you get on that plane, before you

65
00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:48.680
<v Speaker 2>go on vacation.

66
00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:50.759
<v Speaker 3>I mean that is amazing.

67
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:52.479
<v Speaker 2>And really, do I have it on the way back,

68
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:55.159
<v Speaker 2>because by the time I'm on my way back, I'm

69
00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:57.240
<v Speaker 2>ready to come home. I'm ready to just kind of

70
00:02:57.240 --> 00:02:59.360
<v Speaker 2>get back into the routine. You know, there's no need

71
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:02.039
<v Speaker 2>to prolong it. I'll though, this time was nice. When

72
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:05.080
<v Speaker 2>I came back from the draft, my wife picked me

73
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:07.599
<v Speaker 2>up at the airport and I flew back on a set.

74
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:09.759
<v Speaker 2>That's how you do it, dude. You go on a Saturday.

75
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:12.919
<v Speaker 2>And I flew back on a Saturday. And what was

76
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:17.919
<v Speaker 2>nice was it was a direct flight from Detroit to Louisville,

77
00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:21.120
<v Speaker 2>so what was And I got a four o'clock flight

78
00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:24.520
<v Speaker 2>on purpose. So we had an Airbnb in Detroit, I

79
00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:26.680
<v Speaker 2>believe it or not, they have them in Detroit.

80
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:28.879
<v Speaker 3>And my buddies.

81
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:31.319
<v Speaker 2>We had to check out by ten, So my buddies,

82
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:33.159
<v Speaker 2>I said, hey, guys, can you swing me by dtw

83
00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:35.759
<v Speaker 2>on the way out? And they said, sure, man, I'm

84
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:39.000
<v Speaker 2>doing that. I mean, I didn't sweat getting through TSA.

85
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:42.560
<v Speaker 2>I already had my boarding pass and the way I

86
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:45.599
<v Speaker 2>waited a good forty five fifty minutes to get through TSA.

87
00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:49.120
<v Speaker 2>But I wasn't sweating. At one, I was by myself.

88
00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:53.919
<v Speaker 2>Two my flight didn't leave till four o'clock. So I'm

89
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:54.319
<v Speaker 2>just like.

90
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:56.800
<v Speaker 1>Whatever, I'll tell you what I do. I do think

91
00:03:56.879 --> 00:03:58.800
<v Speaker 1>there is something to be said about it. When you're

92
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:02.319
<v Speaker 1>by yourself traveling, it feels like you're automatically just going

93
00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:04.840
<v Speaker 1>to be more patient. I don't know why that is.

94
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:07.120
<v Speaker 1>Maybe it's because you don't want to make a fool

95
00:04:07.159 --> 00:04:08.960
<v Speaker 1>of yourself in front of a bunch of people no

96
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:11.400
<v Speaker 1>one else around. But maybe it's maybe you feel more

97
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:13.919
<v Speaker 1>at peace because the only thing you have to do

98
00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:15.919
<v Speaker 1>is it's just you and your thoughts. I don't know.

99
00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:18.240
<v Speaker 1>Maybe I'm overthinking it, no, but I do feel like

100
00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:21.120
<v Speaker 1>there is a reason, there is something that allows us

101
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:22.519
<v Speaker 1>to be more patient worm by ourselves.

102
00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:23.399
<v Speaker 3>I don't know it is.

103
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:25.600
<v Speaker 2>It definitely is because you feel like you either have

104
00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:27.560
<v Speaker 2>to entertain your spouse or if you have young kids,

105
00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:28.759
<v Speaker 2>you got to entertain them.

106
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:31.480
<v Speaker 3>And so my buddies dropped me off.

107
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:34.480
<v Speaker 2>I went and found my gate, plugged in my Hulu,

108
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:37.920
<v Speaker 2>watched the ball game, sat there, had a little lunch,

109
00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:41.279
<v Speaker 2>and then I timed it out so I get back

110
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:42.920
<v Speaker 2>right at five. My wife picked me up at the

111
00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:46.439
<v Speaker 2>airport and we went out for dinner. I mean, that's

112
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:48.879
<v Speaker 2>the way you do it. Saturday traveled to me is awesome.

113
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:51.360
<v Speaker 2>I have always and even when I was younger, and

114
00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:53.439
<v Speaker 2>I traveled a lot when I was younger. By myself,

115
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:57.680
<v Speaker 2>I hated traveling on a Sunday. There's no worse feeling

116
00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:02.439
<v Speaker 2>than traveling on a Sunday and home logging the suitcases

117
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:04.399
<v Speaker 2>upstairs unpacked and going to bed and getting I'm going

118
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:06.759
<v Speaker 2>to work the next day. So I travel on a

119
00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:10.519
<v Speaker 2>Saturday and it's just a total chill experience. And then

120
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:12.720
<v Speaker 2>to be able to go out and get home, it's

121
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:15.800
<v Speaker 2>that's even money on top. So good on Nick, I'm glad.

122
00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:18.759
<v Speaker 2>I assume he probably flew yes like he's so, he

123
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:20.600
<v Speaker 2>flew okay, and he has how many kids?

124
00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:23.399
<v Speaker 3>One or two kids? Two kids? Okay? So, but he's

125
00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:25.439
<v Speaker 3>a pro added I mean, he's got it.

126
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:28.279
<v Speaker 2>Down pat and uh, it's just nice and and for me,

127
00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:31.839
<v Speaker 2>I'm an ab gig. So I I love airports and

128
00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:34.839
<v Speaker 2>I like people watching and I like it. I like airliners,

129
00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:36.720
<v Speaker 2>I like jets, I like I like that whole scene.

130
00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:39.000
<v Speaker 2>In fact, my favorite places in the world to go

131
00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:41.399
<v Speaker 2>to plane spot and plane spot nerds, you'll know this.

132
00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:44.920
<v Speaker 2>What I'm talking about is Skipple Airport in Amsterdam. And

133
00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:46.600
<v Speaker 2>that's why I'm looking forward to having my brother in here.

134
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:48.720
<v Speaker 2>He's a pilot. He's a pilot for American and he knows,

135
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:51.839
<v Speaker 2>he knows what I'm talking about. But I go to

136
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:54.680
<v Speaker 2>Skipple in Amsterdam. I mean, it's it's so cool. Will

137
00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:56.439
<v Speaker 2>Clark and I used to do that. Will Clark was

138
00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:58.800
<v Speaker 2>a big ab geek. He does the same thing. He'll

139
00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:02.279
<v Speaker 2>go out of his way. My dream, and this is the.

140
00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:03.839
<v Speaker 3>Tole aviation nerd coming out of me.

141
00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:05.879
<v Speaker 2>My dream is I want to stay at the TWA

142
00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:08.720
<v Speaker 2>hotel in New York at LaGuardia, and I want to

143
00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:11.120
<v Speaker 2>stay there just just because it's old school and just

144
00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:13.800
<v Speaker 2>to do that. But traveling's fun, dude, because then you

145
00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:15.959
<v Speaker 2>go you find different foods that are there, the different

146
00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:17.160
<v Speaker 2>foods that you can partake of.

147
00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:19.160
<v Speaker 1>And yea, I had crab leggs the first time when

148
00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:21.759
<v Speaker 1>I was in Oh really good. I've never had crab leggs,

149
00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:23.720
<v Speaker 1>but a good place to have them right there was delicious,

150
00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:24.120
<v Speaker 1>you know.

151
00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:25.720
<v Speaker 2>And it's funny you bring that up because I tell

152
00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:28.319
<v Speaker 2>my wife, I said, when I went to Paris, I

153
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:30.560
<v Speaker 2>spent the summer ninety four, like I was talking about yesterday,

154
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:33.319
<v Speaker 2>in France. First place I ever had lobster was Paris.

155
00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:36.279
<v Speaker 2>First place and we went with a group of people

156
00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:38.759
<v Speaker 2>and they're like, hey, we're gonna go get seafood. And

157
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:40.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, guys, I'm not a big seafood guy. Now

158
00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:43.000
<v Speaker 2>they're like, look, you're in Paris. You don't get here

159
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:46.040
<v Speaker 2>but once in your lifetime. So I find I'll go,

160
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:47.120
<v Speaker 2>I'll get a salad or something.

161
00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:47.480
<v Speaker 3>Whatever.

162
00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:50.800
<v Speaker 2>We get there and they go get the lobster. Like, oh, guys,

163
00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:55.839
<v Speaker 2>I hate seafood. They're like, get the lobster. I was like, okay, whatever.

164
00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:58.199
<v Speaker 2>After a couple of whites and I was like, all right, fuck,

165
00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:01.800
<v Speaker 2>give me the lobster thing I ever had. Dude, I'm like,

166
00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:04.079
<v Speaker 2>why have I missed out on this all my life?

167
00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:06.800
<v Speaker 2>And now I can't get enough seafood. We're big seafood

168
00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:09.240
<v Speaker 2>years at home, we're big. One of our favorites to

169
00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:11.639
<v Speaker 2>do on Sunday nights is we take the salmon, put

170
00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:14.040
<v Speaker 2>it on the cedar planks and put those on the grill,

171
00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:15.759
<v Speaker 2>and we just love seafood.

172
00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:18.279
<v Speaker 1>Give me all the seafood. Give me the shrimp fish

173
00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:20.879
<v Speaker 1>you can name right, frog legs, give me whatever the

174
00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:22.600
<v Speaker 1>heck you got. All you eat lifit's seafood.

175
00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:25.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm right there with you, bro, I mean I am

176
00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:29.040
<v Speaker 2>right there, but I'm not. There's certain chains seafood restaurants that.

177
00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:31.000
<v Speaker 3>I won't go to. That's fair. That's fair because it

178
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:32.759
<v Speaker 3>feels like it feels like you're getting food out of.

179
00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:34.399
<v Speaker 1>A bag, grease pit kind of.

180
00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:36.480
<v Speaker 2>Well yeah, and it's it's like there's a couple of

181
00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:37.879
<v Speaker 2>national chains that are out there.

182
00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:39.319
<v Speaker 3>In fact, somebody who.

183
00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:42.519
<v Speaker 2>Worked in the restaurant industry told me about a certain

184
00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:45.839
<v Speaker 2>Italian food chain. And I'm not gonna name a these,

185
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:48.759
<v Speaker 2>but they told me because they used to work there.

186
00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:50.240
<v Speaker 2>A lot of their stuff comes out of a bag

187
00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:54.120
<v Speaker 2>and it's like add water to it, and it's really popular.

188
00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:59.120
<v Speaker 2>And so now whether that's true or not, I can't verify,

189
00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:01.959
<v Speaker 2>but I can't also at the same time can't unsee it.

190
00:08:02.839 --> 00:08:04.519
<v Speaker 2>And I've heard some of these things about some of

191
00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:07.959
<v Speaker 2>these national seafood chains. I mean, I'm not saying you're

192
00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:09.759
<v Speaker 2>pulling lobstraw out of a bag and add more water

193
00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:12.000
<v Speaker 2>to it. I'm just saying some of the other food

194
00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:14.879
<v Speaker 2>kind of. And now, but now that somebody put that

195
00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:17.120
<v Speaker 2>bug in my ear, I can't shake it.

196
00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:18.519
<v Speaker 3>So when I go to eat the food, I'm kind

197
00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:18.839
<v Speaker 3>of like.

198
00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:24.399
<v Speaker 2>Local seafood, though, amen aude.

199
00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:27.279
<v Speaker 3>Even when we went to my family drugged me down

200
00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:30.160
<v Speaker 3>to Florida. I'm not a Florida guy. I'm definitely I'm

201
00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:32.200
<v Speaker 3>definitely no offense to those of you who loved Deston.

202
00:08:32.279 --> 00:08:36.720
<v Speaker 2>I hate Deston. My grandparents lived in Tampa. They lived

203
00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:39.480
<v Speaker 2>in a nice part of Tampa. I didn't mind it,

204
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:41.759
<v Speaker 2>but it wasn't my cup of tea. Too humid, too hot.

205
00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:43.679
<v Speaker 2>It's like what it is out there now. I'm not

206
00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:44.320
<v Speaker 2>a fan of that.

207
00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:47.440
<v Speaker 1>It's crowds too, maybe especially crowds.

208
00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:48.080
<v Speaker 3>You got it.

209
00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:51.519
<v Speaker 2>But I will say this, the family drugged me down

210
00:08:51.559 --> 00:08:53.679
<v Speaker 2>there because they had been going I make them go

211
00:08:53.960 --> 00:08:57.799
<v Speaker 2>up north to Michigan. They drugged me down there. I said, okay,

212
00:08:57.960 --> 00:09:00.000
<v Speaker 2>my turn. You know, I gotta I gotta suck it up.

213
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:02.559
<v Speaker 2>I'll take one for the team. We went to some

214
00:09:02.559 --> 00:09:04.080
<v Speaker 2>seafood place and I don't know what it was. I

215
00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:04.960
<v Speaker 2>can't remember the name.

216
00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:08.039
<v Speaker 3>Best seafood I ever had, best seafood.

217
00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:12.200
<v Speaker 2>And it was a mom and pop place. It wasn't

218
00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:15.679
<v Speaker 2>a chain. It wasn't like a tourist trap either, if

219
00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:17.879
<v Speaker 2>that makes any sense. It was just a mom and

220
00:09:17.919 --> 00:09:21.440
<v Speaker 2>pop place hidden away some shopping mall. Somewhere some strip

221
00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:24.679
<v Speaker 2>mall like. It wasn't because if you go to Florida,

222
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:26.120
<v Speaker 2>those of you who go to Florida, you know that

223
00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:28.759
<v Speaker 2>along the coach there there's that. There's the tourist traps

224
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:30.799
<v Speaker 2>that are there. They jack up the price of your

225
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:34.440
<v Speaker 2>meal at dinner time, they do all that. Well, I

226
00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:37.360
<v Speaker 2>was sitting at this place we went to. They had

227
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:39.720
<v Speaker 2>a local brewery. So I was in the brewery picking

228
00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:43.360
<v Speaker 2>up to get my token T shirt and my beer.

229
00:09:44.200 --> 00:09:45.600
<v Speaker 2>I asked him, I said, guys, I want to go

230
00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:47.840
<v Speaker 2>somewhere and get some seafood here, but I don't want

231
00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:48.919
<v Speaker 2>to go to a tourist trap.

232
00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:51.159
<v Speaker 3>Where do you all go when you want seafood?

233
00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:53.960
<v Speaker 2>And he told me, And it was in the strip

234
00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:57.120
<v Speaker 2>mall way Inland And it took us about twenty minutes.

235
00:09:56.919 --> 00:09:59.120
<v Speaker 3>To get there, but oh man, it was the best seafood.

236
00:09:59.759 --> 00:10:01.320
<v Speaker 3>So long story short.

237
00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:03.440
<v Speaker 2>Now bring that up because we were talking about food

238
00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:07.519
<v Speaker 2>at the ballparks earlier. I don't know if you've heard, John,

239
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:11.840
<v Speaker 2>but Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta, big fancy stadium, YEP,

240
00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:13.840
<v Speaker 2>A lot of big venues, a lot of big acts

241
00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:16.840
<v Speaker 2>play there. Well, they're known for their bargain prices at

242
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:20.000
<v Speaker 2>their concessions. If you go to Mercedes ben Stadium, and

243
00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:21.799
<v Speaker 2>I know Cardinal fans may have gone there, I think, yeah,

244
00:10:21.840 --> 00:10:25.120
<v Speaker 2>Louisville played there last year. You can go to sections one, O, five,

245
00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:27.320
<v Speaker 2>one thirteen, two five, three oh eight, three twenty two

246
00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:29.720
<v Speaker 2>and three twenty nine. These are what they call the

247
00:10:29.759 --> 00:10:33.799
<v Speaker 2>atl fanfare sections. Dude, you can get a you can

248
00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:37.080
<v Speaker 2>get a classic hot dog for two bucks Classic and

249
00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:40.480
<v Speaker 2>it looks good. Cheez Nacho's three bucks. I mean these

250
00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:43.039
<v Speaker 2>are like these are these are I'm going to watch

251
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:48.159
<v Speaker 2>my kid play elementary basketball school concession prices. They're candies

252
00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:51.279
<v Speaker 2>three fifty. You can get your chips for three fifty.

253
00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:53.600
<v Speaker 2>A souvenir soda four bucks.

254
00:10:53.639 --> 00:10:54.000
<v Speaker 3>I paid.

255
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:56.600
<v Speaker 2>I paid nine No, I paid eleven bucks for a

256
00:10:56.639 --> 00:11:00.519
<v Speaker 2>souvenir soda the Reds game. But you can get But

257
00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:02.799
<v Speaker 2>what's interesting is they do the bacon or the buffalo

258
00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:06.000
<v Speaker 2>cauliflower wraps eight dollars, which isn't bad.

259
00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:08.159
<v Speaker 1>They say, all things considered, I mean, if you buy

260
00:11:08.159 --> 00:11:10.159
<v Speaker 1>that anywhere else, it's probably double the price.

261
00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:13.399
<v Speaker 2>That's exactly right now. Beer is a little bit more realistic.

262
00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:15.080
<v Speaker 2>If you want a large premium draft fear you got

263
00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:18.399
<v Speaker 2>pay ten to fifty. But this is sort of becoming

264
00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:21.000
<v Speaker 2>the trend. Fresh Like I get a lot of popcorn, right,

265
00:11:21.039 --> 00:11:24.720
<v Speaker 2>I go to the stadiums because it's it's just better.

266
00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:27.960
<v Speaker 3>It's just better for you. I don't fill up on it,

267
00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:32.519
<v Speaker 3>and I don't do this, this and this, so, but

268
00:11:32.679 --> 00:11:34.399
<v Speaker 3>you're looking at popcorns two dollars.

269
00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:36.919
<v Speaker 2>Now, this is becoming the trend. I see Dallas has

270
00:11:36.919 --> 00:11:39.200
<v Speaker 2>done this too. At and T Stadium does this, although

271
00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:41.279
<v Speaker 2>their hot dogs are running a little bit more. The

272
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:44.240
<v Speaker 2>hot dogs are about six seventy five, but they have sort

273
00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:44.879
<v Speaker 2>of that bargain.

274
00:11:44.919 --> 00:11:46.759
<v Speaker 3>I know the Lions tried this too as well.

275
00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:51.120
<v Speaker 2>You can get discounted foods, and everybody knows about the Masters, right,

276
00:11:51.159 --> 00:11:55.360
<v Speaker 2>they know about them. The Masters has the cheap food prices,

277
00:11:55.679 --> 00:11:57.799
<v Speaker 2>so you're seeing the start to catch on with folks.

278
00:11:57.879 --> 00:12:00.720
<v Speaker 2>But if you want the more expensive then you can

279
00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:03.120
<v Speaker 2>go get those. So I was looking at some of

280
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:06.480
<v Speaker 2>the different baseball foods that are out there.

281
00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:09.360
<v Speaker 3>Fair warning if you're hungry. It's like you ever watched Diners,

282
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:10.200
<v Speaker 3>Drive In and Dives?

283
00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:13.519
<v Speaker 1>Oh, any of those shows that are on Travel Channel,

284
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:16.039
<v Speaker 1>And I know travel channels kind of mostly turned into

285
00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:19.320
<v Speaker 1>like ghost shows and that type of thing, like paranormal activity,

286
00:12:19.360 --> 00:12:22.120
<v Speaker 1>those types of shows. Yeah, but I remember I used

287
00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:24.279
<v Speaker 1>to come home from school pretty regularly and I would

288
00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:27.039
<v Speaker 1>turn on Travel Channel because it was either Man Versus

289
00:12:27.080 --> 00:12:30.279
<v Speaker 1>Food one of those other eating type shows, because you

290
00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:31.600
<v Speaker 1>want to eat a snack we get home, and so

291
00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:34.600
<v Speaker 1>it's sometimes it's fun to snack while you're watching somebody

292
00:12:34.759 --> 00:12:35.360
<v Speaker 1>eat food.

293
00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:36.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, exactly.

294
00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:39.919
<v Speaker 2>Well my mistake to your point, my mistake is turning

295
00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:44.480
<v Speaker 2>on guy Fiery and Diners driving and dies late at

296
00:12:44.559 --> 00:12:45.039
<v Speaker 2>night when I.

297
00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:49.879
<v Speaker 3>Am just craving something bad. I had a few brews.

298
00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:52.440
<v Speaker 3>I want that. So now I'm going through and I'm

299
00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:53.720
<v Speaker 3>looking at these and I told you I'm in that

300
00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:55.120
<v Speaker 3>little hungry zone right now.

301
00:12:56.519 --> 00:12:59.279
<v Speaker 2>They talk about the different ballparks, Great American Ballpark. I forgot.

302
00:12:59.279 --> 00:13:01.120
<v Speaker 2>They've got the Get mac Doog.

303
00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:02.559
<v Speaker 3>This is a.

304
00:13:02.440 --> 00:13:06.919
<v Speaker 2>Grilled brisket sausage topped with macaroni and cheese as well

305
00:13:06.919 --> 00:13:10.480
<v Speaker 2>as barbecue sauce, and to top it off, they put

306
00:13:10.519 --> 00:13:12.320
<v Speaker 2>it in a toasted pretzel bun.

307
00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:13.720
<v Speaker 3>Man.

308
00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:16.799
<v Speaker 2>I mean, dude, I'm gonna post this up on social

309
00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:19.039
<v Speaker 2>media on my x feet s Fits Underscore eight forty

310
00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:24.480
<v Speaker 2>whas you gotta look at some of this stuff. Petco Park. Okay,

311
00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:26.559
<v Speaker 2>home with the Podres. I saw the Podres, and Qualcum

312
00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:30.440
<v Speaker 2>I didn't see him. There they've got basically a Maria

313
00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:33.480
<v Speaker 2>egg roll. It's an egg roll served with Fresno chili sauce,

314
00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:37.879
<v Speaker 2>and it's got uh it's a Barrio dog.

315
00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:39.759
<v Speaker 3>It's got a it's basically a.

316
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:42.840
<v Speaker 2>T One inspired hot dog, and it's got bacon wrapped

317
00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:43.360
<v Speaker 2>up in it.

318
00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:45.559
<v Speaker 3>It's got bacon, all that stuff. So you can get

319
00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:46.559
<v Speaker 3>that at Petco Park.

320
00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:50.840
<v Speaker 2>Then I'm taking a look at Yankee Stadium, and so

321
00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:53.159
<v Speaker 2>Yankee Stadium is not only bragging on their chicken wings,

322
00:13:53.200 --> 00:13:53.759
<v Speaker 2>their desserts.

323
00:13:53.799 --> 00:13:56.360
<v Speaker 3>Dude, you know the iconic Mister Softy ice cream?

324
00:13:56.519 --> 00:13:57.039
<v Speaker 1>No certain?

325
00:13:57.320 --> 00:13:59.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Well you get it. It's like the Mister Softy.

326
00:13:59.000 --> 00:14:01.440
<v Speaker 2>It's like the classic ice soft service, Okay.

327
00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:01.960
<v Speaker 3>Which is awesome.

328
00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:04.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, they now take that stuff and they whip it

329
00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:08.279
<v Speaker 2>up and they put it into a cookie shake and

330
00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:10.639
<v Speaker 2>so you can get that there. And I'm talking about

331
00:14:10.679 --> 00:14:12.720
<v Speaker 2>just some of this stuff Fenway Park. Now back to

332
00:14:12.759 --> 00:14:15.799
<v Speaker 2>the lobster, dude, Fenway Park. Has have you had a

333
00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:17.000
<v Speaker 2>lobsterole a good lobster.

334
00:14:17.159 --> 00:14:18.440
<v Speaker 1>I've never had a lobster roll.

335
00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:20.279
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god, dude, They're amazing.

336
00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:21.879
<v Speaker 1>It's one of those things like I kind of mentioned,

337
00:14:21.919 --> 00:14:23.360
<v Speaker 1>you mentioned this while you were in Paris. Like if

338
00:14:23.399 --> 00:14:25.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm ever up in New England or even further north

339
00:14:25.399 --> 00:14:26.960
<v Speaker 1>like Maine, that type of thing. I think I need

340
00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:29.840
<v Speaker 1>to save my first experience with lobster or a lobster

341
00:14:29.919 --> 00:14:33.240
<v Speaker 1>roll for up there to get an original one. R Yes, yes,

342
00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:35.679
<v Speaker 1>you can get you can get that if you want. Well, Fenway,

343
00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:37.600
<v Speaker 1>they're known for their lobster roles. Now you go to

344
00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:42.639
<v Speaker 1>Dodger Stadium and Dodger Stadium has the Dodger dog. Okay,

345
00:14:42.720 --> 00:14:45.559
<v Speaker 1>that's that goes without saying. And it's changed vendors a

346
00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:47.840
<v Speaker 1>couple of times. I listened to my buddies Petros and

347
00:14:47.840 --> 00:14:51.159
<v Speaker 1>Money on AM five seventy on Fridays, and they are

348
00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:52.200
<v Speaker 1>always bragging.

349
00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:52.600
<v Speaker 3>On a Dodger dog.

350
00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:54.279
<v Speaker 2>Now this has changed a couple of venues, but not

351
00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:56.399
<v Speaker 2>only because you have the Dodger dog, which you have

352
00:14:56.440 --> 00:14:57.200
<v Speaker 2>sho hee o Tani.

353
00:14:57.240 --> 00:14:59.080
<v Speaker 3>Are you a sushi guy? You said you I'm not

354
00:14:59.080 --> 00:14:59.679
<v Speaker 3>a sushi guy.

355
00:14:59.840 --> 00:15:01.000
<v Speaker 1>My is she?

356
00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:02.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm saying way. My wife likes it. I don't

357
00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:05.159
<v Speaker 2>like it. For some reason, it just doesn't attract me.

358
00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:08.960
<v Speaker 2>But you can get like the sushi at and you

359
00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:12.120
<v Speaker 2>can get that along with a hot dog at Dodger Stadium.

360
00:15:12.879 --> 00:15:15.120
<v Speaker 2>So you start digging into these, and then you go

361
00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:19.879
<v Speaker 2>up to Toronto, up in Canada and you can, Dude,

362
00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:21.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm telling you, I'm gonna post this here. When we

363
00:15:21.639 --> 00:15:25.559
<v Speaker 2>go to break you can get yourself a hot dog

364
00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:31.240
<v Speaker 2>topped with marinated maple bacon. I mean, if you're a

365
00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:34.240
<v Speaker 2>bacon guy and you like maple, those two go together

366
00:15:34.399 --> 00:15:38.159
<v Speaker 2>so well, right. But what you can also get and

367
00:15:38.200 --> 00:15:39.559
<v Speaker 2>we did this one we were in Toronto. We went

368
00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:44.919
<v Speaker 2>to Toronto in twenty nineteen. You get poutine, and poutine's

369
00:15:44.919 --> 00:15:46.759
<v Speaker 2>one of those things that you can't screw up.

370
00:15:47.320 --> 00:15:49.080
<v Speaker 3>Have you ever had good poutine? I haven't.

371
00:15:49.120 --> 00:15:52.320
<v Speaker 1>That's that's Canadian, right, Like, yeah, that's basically you take

372
00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:54.759
<v Speaker 1>you take French fries and you pour gravy over it.

373
00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:57.159
<v Speaker 2>Okay, and now there's plenty of ways you can do

374
00:15:57.240 --> 00:15:59.639
<v Speaker 2>your own thing with it. But it's dude, if you've

375
00:15:59.639 --> 00:16:03.279
<v Speaker 2>been out to can beer, poutine is amazing. I mean

376
00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:06.399
<v Speaker 2>it just soaks up all that alcohol. I mean, nothing

377
00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:08.000
<v Speaker 2>tastes better than that. But you can get a dog

378
00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:10.639
<v Speaker 2>with and now I actually want to go home and

379
00:16:10.679 --> 00:16:13.120
<v Speaker 2>try this. I'm gonna figure out how I can put

380
00:16:13.240 --> 00:16:16.840
<v Speaker 2>marinated maple bacon over my hot dog and throw some

381
00:16:16.919 --> 00:16:19.200
<v Speaker 2>ketchup behind that, throw a little mustard. Although I'm not

382
00:16:19.240 --> 00:16:20.919
<v Speaker 2>a ketchup guy in my hot dog? Where do you

383
00:16:20.919 --> 00:16:21.519
<v Speaker 2>stand on that?

384
00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:24.720
<v Speaker 1>So I'm not a big condiment guy in general. So

385
00:16:25.240 --> 00:16:28.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm anti not anti, but I don't put ketchup mustard

386
00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:30.840
<v Speaker 1>really on anything. I don't even put syrup on pancakes

387
00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:31.440
<v Speaker 1>or waffles.

388
00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:31.759
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

389
00:16:31.840 --> 00:16:34.399
<v Speaker 1>I take things as is. Ill had seasonings at you know,

390
00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:36.879
<v Speaker 1>little ingredients here and there, but when it comes to

391
00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:40.000
<v Speaker 1>the condiment game, I typically stay away from that.

392
00:16:40.360 --> 00:16:43.440
<v Speaker 2>See and you know, if you get because I'm getting

393
00:16:43.440 --> 00:16:45.759
<v Speaker 2>ready to go over to an American family field where

394
00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:47.679
<v Speaker 2>the brewers play, you can imagine what they serve their

395
00:16:47.720 --> 00:16:48.919
<v Speaker 2>right brides and sausages.

396
00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:52.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so I'm with you. You get a good bride.

397
00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:54.679
<v Speaker 3>I just made Broughts this weekend, spicy spicy brides.

398
00:16:54.720 --> 00:16:56.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh absolutely, Yeah.

399
00:16:56.039 --> 00:16:57.600
<v Speaker 2>If you get a good bride, you don't need to

400
00:16:57.600 --> 00:16:59.960
<v Speaker 2>put anything on it. I mean, it stands on its own.

401
00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:02.679
<v Speaker 2>But they've got what they call the Dog of the North.

402
00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:07.319
<v Speaker 2>And this is a brought top with apple krout. Now,

403
00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:09.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm not a big krowd guy. I can do without

404
00:17:09.559 --> 00:17:10.920
<v Speaker 2>the crowd, but I know a lot of people that

405
00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:14.720
<v Speaker 2>like it. They drop yellow mustard on that jalapeno mayonnaise,

406
00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:18.839
<v Speaker 2>chopped bacon, and a secret sauce. So I mean it's

407
00:17:19.559 --> 00:17:21.319
<v Speaker 2>good stuff. And then you head over to Philly. Now

408
00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:22.880
<v Speaker 2>that you head over to Citizens Bank Park and you

409
00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:24.160
<v Speaker 2>get the signature Philly cheese steak.

410
00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:25.519
<v Speaker 3>Have you had a good Philly cheese steak?

411
00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:26.319
<v Speaker 4>You know?

412
00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:28.480
<v Speaker 1>I think I don't think I've had a good one.

413
00:17:28.559 --> 00:17:30.480
<v Speaker 1>I'll say that I've had some Philly cheese steaks, but

414
00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:32.279
<v Speaker 1>I've not really had something that really wowed me.

415
00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:37.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I start to get into the Philly cheese steaks

416
00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:39.160
<v Speaker 2>starts to kind of all taste the same to me.

417
00:17:39.240 --> 00:17:42.319
<v Speaker 2>Just give me that green pepper flavor with the Swiss

418
00:17:42.359 --> 00:17:45.519
<v Speaker 2>cheese and the roast beef and I'm good to go. Now,

419
00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:48.799
<v Speaker 2>before we get out of here, it is Oracle Park. Okay,

420
00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:52.640
<v Speaker 2>that's the home of the San Francisco Giants. They've got

421
00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:58.319
<v Speaker 2>an amazing ballpark. They serve up ballpark crab fries. They've

422
00:17:58.359 --> 00:18:02.079
<v Speaker 2>got their garlic fries and their old Bay seasoned dungeon,

423
00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:05.279
<v Speaker 2>this crab. Give me that all day, right, I mean, dude,

424
00:18:05.319 --> 00:18:07.319
<v Speaker 2>I am all about I've got some Old Bay hot

425
00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:07.960
<v Speaker 2>sauce at home.

426
00:18:08.680 --> 00:18:10.920
<v Speaker 3>I dropped that stuff on everything. Man, I love. I

427
00:18:10.920 --> 00:18:12.920
<v Speaker 3>can do Old Bay till the cows come home.

428
00:18:13.480 --> 00:18:15.839
<v Speaker 2>So I mean, when you're looking at some of this food,

429
00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:18.000
<v Speaker 2>which and this goes back to what we were talking about,

430
00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:20.920
<v Speaker 2>when you look at some of this food, you know

431
00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:23.160
<v Speaker 2>you'd be that person. You can just take whatever you

432
00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:26.559
<v Speaker 2>think works, throw it, see what sticks up against the wall.

433
00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:28.680
<v Speaker 2>In fact, that's how I find, like I'll post desserts

434
00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:31.680
<v Speaker 2>on Sunday night. I've just found cool ways to make

435
00:18:31.680 --> 00:18:33.920
<v Speaker 2>desserts with nothing more than whipp cream and whatever your

436
00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:37.119
<v Speaker 2>favorite you know, your your favorite pudding mix is. And

437
00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:39.279
<v Speaker 2>you start adding, like, I'll melt down some chocolate chips

438
00:18:39.279 --> 00:18:41.240
<v Speaker 2>and throw those in there, and you start mixing that

439
00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:43.200
<v Speaker 2>stuff up. Put a little sweetener in it if you

440
00:18:43.319 --> 00:18:45.559
<v Speaker 2>have a sweet tooth. But that's the fun part, and

441
00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:47.680
<v Speaker 2>that's where I encourage people all the time. You know,

442
00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:49.720
<v Speaker 2>throw it. It took me a while to get there.

443
00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:54.079
<v Speaker 2>But what I've done now is I don't even I

444
00:18:54.079 --> 00:18:56.359
<v Speaker 2>don't even measure stuff anymore. I mean I do to

445
00:18:56.359 --> 00:18:57.720
<v Speaker 2>some degree, but.

446
00:18:57.640 --> 00:18:58.759
<v Speaker 3>I just throw stuff in there.

447
00:18:58.839 --> 00:19:00.599
<v Speaker 1>My wife just says, measure with your heart. You don't

448
00:19:00.599 --> 00:19:04.000
<v Speaker 1>need it exactly. She's right.

449
00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:06.079
<v Speaker 2>And you know when you use spices and they give

450
00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:08.119
<v Speaker 2>you that silly little shaker thing at the top with

451
00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:10.640
<v Speaker 2>a bunch of little holes in it, Rip that thing

452
00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:13.519
<v Speaker 2>off the top of there, dude, don't use that.

453
00:19:14.279 --> 00:19:16.599
<v Speaker 3>Don't use that. But we live in.

454
00:19:16.559 --> 00:19:19.400
<v Speaker 2>Such a great culture. And it kind of dovetails again

455
00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:21.920
<v Speaker 2>before we're going to break it, kind of dovetails what

456
00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:24.640
<v Speaker 2>we were talking about. We get caught up in the

457
00:19:24.720 --> 00:19:27.759
<v Speaker 2>worst part it was was the TBT, and we have

458
00:19:27.880 --> 00:19:29.759
<v Speaker 2>moments like that in sports. But then we bring it

459
00:19:29.799 --> 00:19:33.759
<v Speaker 2>back full circle with great ballpark menus and food and

460
00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:37.079
<v Speaker 2>cultures and all that stuff. And as we saw here,

461
00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:38.799
<v Speaker 2>there's good food to be had, and I know there's

462
00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:40.799
<v Speaker 2>some down as you mentioned at the Lynn Family Stadium

463
00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:44.160
<v Speaker 2>that I'm gonna grab some tonight. So hey, I'm Scott Fitzgerald.

464
00:19:44.200 --> 00:19:46.720
<v Speaker 2>He is John Alden. We're coming up on four point thirty,

465
00:19:47.119 --> 00:19:50.000
<v Speaker 2>fighting the rain drops here, fighting the humidity, but it'll

466
00:19:50.039 --> 00:19:52.039
<v Speaker 2>be all good Tonight's we head over the Lynn Family Stadium.

467
00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:57.599
<v Speaker 2>We're back after this on Sports Talk seven ninety. Oh man,

468
00:19:57.640 --> 00:20:00.000
<v Speaker 2>now you're making me hungry. Mister John Alden.

00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:03.160
<v Speaker 1>Just had a whole segment about food and snacks. Stand

470
00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:05.200
<v Speaker 1>Tyler not come back to something like cheeseburger.

471
00:20:05.200 --> 00:20:09.200
<v Speaker 3>And now when you do that, I'm looking at I

472
00:20:09.240 --> 00:20:10.319
<v Speaker 3>gotta post this. I'm gonna do it that.

473
00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:11.480
<v Speaker 2>I said I was gonna do it in a break,

474
00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:13.440
<v Speaker 2>but my little bro is in town and he just

475
00:20:13.480 --> 00:20:14.680
<v Speaker 2>walked in, so we were yapping.

476
00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:16.720
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna post this up here. You can see it.

477
00:20:16.720 --> 00:20:19.480
<v Speaker 2>It's eat this. Not that posted their best baseball stadium food.

478
00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:22.559
<v Speaker 2>And as you were playing cheeseburger in Paradise, I'm looking

479
00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:25.319
<v Speaker 2>at this burger they serve at Mets games at City Field,

480
00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:31.079
<v Speaker 2>and it's in addition to the Chicken Palm heroes they have.

481
00:20:31.759 --> 00:20:33.920
<v Speaker 3>It is Adam Rickman. You know him. He's from Man

482
00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:36.759
<v Speaker 3>Versus Food. Yes. Yeah, he's got his own concession stand

483
00:20:36.759 --> 00:20:37.480
<v Speaker 3>at the ballpark.

484
00:20:37.640 --> 00:20:38.559
<v Speaker 1>Okay, that's pretty cool.

485
00:20:38.759 --> 00:20:42.039
<v Speaker 2>And he's got Adam Rickman's Burger Hall of Fame. And

486
00:20:42.119 --> 00:20:45.720
<v Speaker 2>this thing looks amazing. It is the French onion burger.

487
00:20:46.319 --> 00:20:49.359
<v Speaker 2>It is a six out patty mixed with onions and

488
00:20:49.400 --> 00:20:54.079
<v Speaker 2>onion soup powder. Topped with sauted onions and shredded greare cheese.

489
00:20:54.759 --> 00:20:58.039
<v Speaker 3>Dude, that looks amazing. Dude, those are you a mushroom guy?

490
00:20:58.079 --> 00:21:01.680
<v Speaker 1>By the way, You know, I don't think I would

491
00:21:01.680 --> 00:21:04.640
<v Speaker 1>be against mushrooms. I've never had them, but yeah, I

492
00:21:04.640 --> 00:21:07.480
<v Speaker 1>know a lot of people are. It's pretty divisive mushrooms.

493
00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:09.799
<v Speaker 1>I think I would try them in the right you know,

494
00:21:09.839 --> 00:21:12.079
<v Speaker 1>with the right combination of whatever it is. You might

495
00:21:12.079 --> 00:21:14.880
<v Speaker 1>be combining them with maybe a good burger. But you know,

496
00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:17.559
<v Speaker 1>I know, I know they're the mushiness is what drives

497
00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:18.720
<v Speaker 1>people away from the mushrooms.

498
00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:21.160
<v Speaker 2>I feel like sometimes I know, yeah, I see, and

499
00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:23.559
<v Speaker 2>I love stuff mushrooms like I ain't taking MUSHes, big

500
00:21:23.599 --> 00:21:26.839
<v Speaker 2>old fat mushrooms and stuff them up and uh and

<v Speaker 2>used to talking. So you guys don't have Mike's that

00:22:08.359 --> 00:22:10.440
<v Speaker 3>How are you? Bro? So you left? Where did your

520
00:22:10.519 --> 00:22:11.599
<v Speaker 3>day start today? So?

521
00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:14.000
<v Speaker 4>I was supposed to be here in Louisville this morning,

522
00:22:14.079 --> 00:22:17.240
<v Speaker 4>but weather in Charlotte kind of curtailed that. So I

523
00:22:17.240 --> 00:22:20.319
<v Speaker 4>spent the night Charlotte and then flew in this afternoon.

524
00:22:20.359 --> 00:22:24.279
<v Speaker 2>Beautiful metropolis that is Charlotte, Charlotte, North Carolina.

525
00:22:24.400 --> 00:22:26.680
<v Speaker 3>Right, yeah, you spend a lot of time in Charlotte.

526
00:22:26.759 --> 00:22:28.839
<v Speaker 4>I try not to, Like I said, if I do,

527
00:22:28.880 --> 00:22:31.319
<v Speaker 4>something's gone wrong. It's just so humid there.

528
00:22:31.440 --> 00:22:36.880
<v Speaker 3>It's it's not here. That's not Florida, Florida. So when

529
00:22:36.880 --> 00:22:39.799
<v Speaker 3>you get here, when you get here, they put you

530
00:22:39.880 --> 00:22:41.720
<v Speaker 3>up where you're staying at staying at the Galt House

531
00:22:42.359 --> 00:22:42.920
<v Speaker 3>right down the road.

532
00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:45.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, four blocks down the road. It's a pretty nice deal.

533
00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:46.680
<v Speaker 4>It's pretty nice setup.

534
00:22:46.720 --> 00:22:51.279
<v Speaker 2>You didn't get the Gene Simmons suite. You ever see

535
00:22:51.319 --> 00:22:53.519
<v Speaker 2>the movie Family the show Family Jewels, John, have you

536
00:22:53.559 --> 00:22:54.640
<v Speaker 2>seen Family Jewels yet?

537
00:22:54.640 --> 00:22:56.960
<v Speaker 3>I haven't. Okay, he did Family Jewels. It was a

538
00:22:57.000 --> 00:22:59.759
<v Speaker 3>favorite in our household. Oh no, it was behind the scenes. Look.

539
00:22:59.799 --> 00:23:02.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, he came in for Derby one year and he

540
00:23:02.200 --> 00:23:05.000
<v Speaker 2>stayed at the Gold House. Somebody was geeking the Gold House,

541
00:23:05.440 --> 00:23:06.599
<v Speaker 2>so he was.

542
00:23:06.759 --> 00:23:09.200
<v Speaker 3>So he came in for Derby and you were texting

543
00:23:09.240 --> 00:23:14.559
<v Speaker 3>me a picture of the pillow in the hotel room. Horses.

544
00:23:14.640 --> 00:23:18.160
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it said something like horses are or I forget

545
00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:18.599
<v Speaker 4>what it said.

546
00:23:18.759 --> 00:23:21.039
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it was horse, a big horse on it. Yeah,

547
00:23:21.079 --> 00:23:21.640
<v Speaker 3>I said, oh.

548
00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:24.200
<v Speaker 4>Ma in Kentucky. Well, I walk into a nice hotel

549
00:23:24.279 --> 00:23:26.559
<v Speaker 4>room and it's got a big, old couple of horses there.

550
00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:27.359
<v Speaker 3>But I thought it was cool.

551
00:23:27.400 --> 00:23:28.960
<v Speaker 4>I thought that's classic Kentucky. Right.

552
00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:31.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, to your point, we did a segment

553
00:23:31.160 --> 00:23:33.000
<v Speaker 2>on this show because I hosted just before Derby, and

554
00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:36.079
<v Speaker 2>we did a segment on Airbnb rentals and that's a

555
00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:39.279
<v Speaker 2>big issue here in town and one of the things

556
00:23:39.319 --> 00:23:42.440
<v Speaker 2>the airbnb folks said, if you're designing an airbnb here

557
00:23:42.480 --> 00:23:44.240
<v Speaker 2>in Kentucky, because we had the Derby and then right

558
00:23:44.279 --> 00:23:46.559
<v Speaker 2>after that we had the Hall of the PGA Championship.

559
00:23:47.079 --> 00:23:48.839
<v Speaker 2>He said, if you're going to redo your house, do

560
00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:52.079
<v Speaker 2>it in horses and or golf, because when people come in,

561
00:23:52.119 --> 00:23:53.240
<v Speaker 2>they want that experience.

562
00:23:53.519 --> 00:23:56.079
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so they're you know, you got the horse experience.

563
00:23:56.079 --> 00:23:58.240
<v Speaker 4>They're probably willing to pay top dollar for those events.

564
00:23:58.400 --> 00:24:02.200
<v Speaker 3>That's exactly right. It's all about So we were talking

565
00:24:02.200 --> 00:24:05.400
<v Speaker 3>about ballpark food. You spend a lot of time in airports.

566
00:24:05.759 --> 00:24:09.279
<v Speaker 2>Yes, is there any specific airport that sticks out to

567
00:24:09.319 --> 00:24:10.599
<v Speaker 2>you that it has good footers at all?

568
00:24:10.640 --> 00:24:13.440
<v Speaker 4>The same You know, we've talked about this last year

569
00:24:13.519 --> 00:24:16.039
<v Speaker 4>or so of trying to eat healthier. So I actually

570
00:24:16.039 --> 00:24:18.039
<v Speaker 4>when I first started in the airlines, it was easy

571
00:24:18.119 --> 00:24:20.880
<v Speaker 4>just go to Wendy's, McDonald's whatever, get a French fries

572
00:24:20.920 --> 00:24:24.119
<v Speaker 4>and a burger. I actually gave up French fries, try

573
00:24:24.160 --> 00:24:26.960
<v Speaker 4>to give up fast food, and so now I actually

574
00:24:27.039 --> 00:24:31.680
<v Speaker 4>like healthy, like you said, salads and San Francisco has

575
00:24:32.119 --> 00:24:34.480
<v Speaker 4>some pretty good food there, but you're gonna pay like

576
00:24:34.519 --> 00:24:37.200
<v Speaker 4>a ridiculous amount of money. But they have some pretty

577
00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:39.319
<v Speaker 4>good food. A lot of West Coast places have kind

578
00:24:39.359 --> 00:24:41.680
<v Speaker 4>of that healthy vibe going. But right, you're gonna you're

579
00:24:41.720 --> 00:24:43.240
<v Speaker 4>gonna pay for it though, Yeah, so.

580
00:24:43.400 --> 00:24:46.599
<v Speaker 2>You know it's also what's funny is is on TikTok,

581
00:24:46.640 --> 00:24:48.759
<v Speaker 2>I'll be scrolling to my I've seen an influx in

582
00:24:48.839 --> 00:24:52.440
<v Speaker 2>my TikTok videos of airline people like you posting here's

583
00:24:52.480 --> 00:24:55.440
<v Speaker 2>my day in the airlines. And it's actually I think

584
00:24:55.519 --> 00:24:57.720
<v Speaker 2>it's pretty cool. I was just watching one of the

585
00:24:57.720 --> 00:25:00.000
<v Speaker 2>pilots got off one time and he went and walked around.

586
00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:04.240
<v Speaker 3>So life for you is a pilot. You fly in somewhere.

587
00:25:04.359 --> 00:25:06.839
<v Speaker 2>Obviously you're visiting with us today because you're here in Louisville,

588
00:25:07.359 --> 00:25:09.200
<v Speaker 2>but you fly into another city, what.

589
00:25:09.200 --> 00:25:10.480
<v Speaker 3>Do you what do you all do? How long do

590
00:25:10.519 --> 00:25:11.519
<v Speaker 3>you guys usually stay?

591
00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:14.799
<v Speaker 4>Well, that's a good question. The answer is it all depends. Right.

592
00:25:14.839 --> 00:25:17.680
<v Speaker 4>So today I was supposed to be here for two nights,

593
00:25:17.720 --> 00:25:19.480
<v Speaker 4>thirty hours. I was supposed to have all day off

594
00:25:19.480 --> 00:25:22.319
<v Speaker 4>here and it was going to be great. Landed in

595
00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:24.880
<v Speaker 4>San Diego last night and they said, oh, by the way,

596
00:25:24.880 --> 00:25:27.359
<v Speaker 4>you're going to Phoenix. You're not laying over in San Diego.

597
00:25:27.480 --> 00:25:30.359
<v Speaker 4>So it's a lot of I mean, you've seen all

598
00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:32.640
<v Speaker 4>the meltdowns that's been going on with the airlines, So

599
00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:35.839
<v Speaker 4>at any time as a pilot, you could land somewhere

600
00:25:35.880 --> 00:25:37.519
<v Speaker 4>and they could say, hey, by the way, you're not

601
00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:39.559
<v Speaker 4>going to stay here, You're going to go someplace else.

602
00:25:39.640 --> 00:25:43.559
<v Speaker 4>So but a typical day, if everything's going right for me,

603
00:25:43.680 --> 00:25:46.440
<v Speaker 4>I land someplace. I'm a runner, so I like to run.

604
00:25:46.519 --> 00:25:48.079
<v Speaker 4>I look up a good route to go run in

605
00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:51.759
<v Speaker 4>if there is one, and then I typically will do that,

606
00:25:51.960 --> 00:25:53.799
<v Speaker 4>go get a bite to eat, and then it's usually

607
00:25:53.799 --> 00:25:55.680
<v Speaker 4>pretty much off the bed because I'm old now and

608
00:25:55.720 --> 00:26:00.240
<v Speaker 4>I like to go to bed early, so I have

609
00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:02.599
<v Speaker 4>a little extra time, you know, I'll check out. Just

610
00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:05.279
<v Speaker 4>the other day, I was in Philadelphia and I ran

611
00:26:05.359 --> 00:26:08.400
<v Speaker 4>down by the rock they call them the Rocky Stairs. Yeah.

612
00:26:08.559 --> 00:26:10.599
<v Speaker 4>It's amazing to me that that movie came out what

613
00:26:10.720 --> 00:26:14.319
<v Speaker 4>forty or fifty years ago, and there are still constant

614
00:26:14.359 --> 00:26:18.000
<v Speaker 4>people videoing themselves running up and down those stairs. And

615
00:26:18.039 --> 00:26:20.440
<v Speaker 4>there's a little rocky statue on the side and stuff.

616
00:26:21.119 --> 00:26:23.200
<v Speaker 4>So I like going seeing things like that. Cool stuff.

617
00:26:23.240 --> 00:26:25.759
<v Speaker 4>I was in San Francisco. I went by the Fuller househouse.

618
00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:28.359
<v Speaker 4>I don't know oh yeah, yeah, yeah, my kids love

619
00:26:28.440 --> 00:26:31.279
<v Speaker 4>that show. So I went by there and again, it's

620
00:26:31.319 --> 00:26:34.599
<v Speaker 4>been forty fifty years. People are still walking up taking selfies.

621
00:26:34.200 --> 00:26:36.839
<v Speaker 3>So they still go through the whole drilling.

622
00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:39.640
<v Speaker 2>Now, you and I served together in the military, lived

623
00:26:39.640 --> 00:26:41.920
<v Speaker 2>together in San Diego for a little bit, and you

624
00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:43.920
<v Speaker 2>moved on to bigger and better things. You're now an

625
00:26:43.920 --> 00:26:48.240
<v Speaker 2>airline pilot. I'm stuck here in radio. So we definitely

626
00:26:48.279 --> 00:26:51.759
<v Speaker 2>went two different ways. But you know, being a pilot

627
00:26:51.839 --> 00:26:54.440
<v Speaker 2>now you've been. You were an etube guy.

628
00:26:54.759 --> 00:26:56.920
<v Speaker 3>Okay, when you were in the Navy, Yes, started as

629
00:26:56.960 --> 00:26:59.160
<v Speaker 3>an air traffic controller. When you and I were together

630
00:26:59.200 --> 00:27:02.200
<v Speaker 3>on Constellation, and I was just a straight up badmint guy.

631
00:27:02.240 --> 00:27:03.480
<v Speaker 2>You were. You were the one that had all the

632
00:27:03.519 --> 00:27:06.319
<v Speaker 2>fine You were the air traffic controller. You decided to

633
00:27:06.319 --> 00:27:09.000
<v Speaker 2>go to college on the Navy's die. Pretty cool deal,

634
00:27:09.039 --> 00:27:09.400
<v Speaker 2>wasn't it.

635
00:27:09.519 --> 00:27:11.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it wasn't a You know, our our twin brother

636
00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:13.839
<v Speaker 4>Jason kind of showed me how to get good grades

637
00:27:13.839 --> 00:27:16.480
<v Speaker 4>because I didn't in high school. So Jason went through

638
00:27:16.519 --> 00:27:19.160
<v Speaker 4>the same program. I went through an ROTC program and

639
00:27:19.240 --> 00:27:22.759
<v Speaker 4>then ended up going into the Navy. You know, being

640
00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:24.960
<v Speaker 4>a navigator, and I knew I wanted to be a pilot,

641
00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:27.920
<v Speaker 4>so ended up working my way through all my pilot

642
00:27:28.000 --> 00:27:31.519
<v Speaker 4>ratings and whatnot, and then still serving in the reserves

643
00:27:31.599 --> 00:27:34.400
<v Speaker 4>in Pennsacola, Florida. But you know, it's funny because you

644
00:27:34.440 --> 00:27:37.000
<v Speaker 4>go back to when you and I first started. I

645
00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:39.319
<v Speaker 4>mean I showed up at the USS consolation in nineteen

646
00:27:39.400 --> 00:27:42.920
<v Speaker 4>ninety five and Scott had talked me into joining the Navy.

647
00:27:42.960 --> 00:27:43.799
<v Speaker 4>He said, joined the Navy.

648
00:27:43.880 --> 00:27:46.599
<v Speaker 3>It's also Scott.

649
00:27:46.240 --> 00:27:49.039
<v Speaker 4>Was on shore duty, living the good life. Yeah, and

650
00:27:49.359 --> 00:27:51.480
<v Speaker 4>I went straight to an aircraft carrier that was deployed.

651
00:27:51.480 --> 00:27:54.160
<v Speaker 4>I'm living with two hundred other men in that early

652
00:27:54.680 --> 00:27:56.799
<v Speaker 4>but we had some really good times. We would go

653
00:27:56.839 --> 00:27:59.920
<v Speaker 4>down to Tijuana and what a sports scene in San Diego. Yeah,

654
00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:02.960
<v Speaker 4>a lot of people, you know don't realize that Southern California.

655
00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:06.119
<v Speaker 4>But going to the Chargers games. And remember when we

656
00:28:06.279 --> 00:28:09.440
<v Speaker 4>went to the Super Bowl in nineteen ninety seven. Yeah,

657
00:28:09.480 --> 00:28:13.279
<v Speaker 4>it was Green Bay and Denver, Denver, Yeah, and we

658
00:28:13.319 --> 00:28:15.440
<v Speaker 4>just hopped a little wall. It just walked around the

659
00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:18.200
<v Speaker 4>parking lot and just went around and tailgated with everything.

660
00:28:18.400 --> 00:28:19.720
<v Speaker 3>You know. I tell that story.

661
00:28:20.200 --> 00:28:22.319
<v Speaker 2>I tell that story every year at Super Bowl time

662
00:28:22.440 --> 00:28:24.799
<v Speaker 2>because there's people that still hadn't heard it. And when

663
00:28:24.799 --> 00:28:27.359
<v Speaker 2>you look at the Super Bowl now, you can't get

664
00:28:27.400 --> 00:28:30.279
<v Speaker 2>within you know, three miles of the place. Yeah, And

665
00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:32.000
<v Speaker 2>like you said, you and I grabbed the cooler that

666
00:28:32.079 --> 00:28:35.559
<v Speaker 2>morning and just decided, let's stop off at seven to eleven,

667
00:28:35.640 --> 00:28:38.519
<v Speaker 2>grab ourselves a few bruis, put them in the cooler.

668
00:28:38.839 --> 00:28:40.680
<v Speaker 3>In fact, if I remember right, some people were offering

669
00:28:40.759 --> 00:28:41.400
<v Speaker 3>us money for it.

670
00:28:41.559 --> 00:28:46.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and just walk around the stadium and take it

671
00:28:46.160 --> 00:28:46.480
<v Speaker 2>all in.

672
00:28:46.839 --> 00:28:47.359
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

673
00:28:47.400 --> 00:28:49.759
<v Speaker 2>And you can't get anywhere near Super Bowl now. That's

674
00:28:49.759 --> 00:28:51.720
<v Speaker 2>how big the game has got in the NFL at

675
00:28:51.799 --> 00:28:52.400
<v Speaker 2>least it's got.

676
00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:54.279
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. In two thousand and three, I went to the

677
00:28:54.279 --> 00:28:56.440
<v Speaker 4>Super Bowl and sold programs with my rotc Oh.

678
00:28:56.559 --> 00:28:56.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

679
00:28:56.799 --> 00:28:59.599
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and that was just seven years from when you

680
00:28:59.640 --> 00:29:01.440
<v Speaker 4>and I were there, and you couldn't you know, the

681
00:29:01.519 --> 00:29:04.839
<v Speaker 4>parking lot was like an amusement park. It wasn't just tailgate,

682
00:29:04.960 --> 00:29:07.519
<v Speaker 4>you know, pull your car up. And I did end

683
00:29:07.559 --> 00:29:09.319
<v Speaker 4>up walking around the field that morning because I just

684
00:29:09.319 --> 00:29:11.759
<v Speaker 4>snuck in and somebody eventually told me I should probably

685
00:29:11.799 --> 00:29:15.599
<v Speaker 4>not be there, but right, but yeah, San Diego was

686
00:29:14.880 --> 00:29:16.920
<v Speaker 4>a was a really good and it still is a

687
00:29:16.960 --> 00:29:19.079
<v Speaker 4>good sports town. You were talking about the Padres and

688
00:29:19.680 --> 00:29:21.680
<v Speaker 4>a lot of fun stuff. And now Jim Harball is

689
00:29:21.680 --> 00:29:22.359
<v Speaker 4>out in La.

690
00:29:22.400 --> 00:29:25.880
<v Speaker 2>So and and Jim Harbaugh story that you're close to

691
00:29:27.079 --> 00:29:28.720
<v Speaker 2>was he at the University of San Diego when you

692
00:29:28.799 --> 00:29:29.079
<v Speaker 2>were there.

693
00:29:29.200 --> 00:29:30.640
<v Speaker 3>He that's where you went to school.

694
00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:33.599
<v Speaker 4>His first job was University of San Diego. He started

695
00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:36.920
<v Speaker 4>the year after I graduated. Okay, so, yeah, and nobody

696
00:29:37.000 --> 00:29:38.960
<v Speaker 4>knew him. University of San Diego does not have a

697
00:29:39.000 --> 00:29:42.160
<v Speaker 4>scholarship football team, and he ended up making a quarterback

698
00:29:42.200 --> 00:29:45.400
<v Speaker 4>out of there who went to the NFL. And this

699
00:29:45.480 --> 00:29:47.279
<v Speaker 4>is a non scholarship I mean you go to a

700
00:29:47.319 --> 00:29:51.359
<v Speaker 4>game there, it's like going to a local high school game. Yeah,

701
00:29:51.440 --> 00:29:53.119
<v Speaker 4>and yeah, he did really well. Then he went to

702
00:29:53.119 --> 00:29:54.319
<v Speaker 4>Stanford in Michigan.

703
00:29:54.400 --> 00:29:56.200
<v Speaker 2>You know, if I'm not mistake, Yeah, because if I'm

704
00:29:56.200 --> 00:30:02.279
<v Speaker 2>not mistaken, Moorehead State plays San Diego Moorhead States in

705
00:30:02.319 --> 00:30:04.799
<v Speaker 2>the Pineer Football League. Yeah, and they make that trip

706
00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:08.119
<v Speaker 2>to and from and San Diego come out here to

707
00:30:08.200 --> 00:30:11.000
<v Speaker 2>play too. But yeah, and I knew that Harball was

708
00:30:11.039 --> 00:30:12.519
<v Speaker 2>there about the time you were there.

709
00:30:12.680 --> 00:30:14.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, he started a year after I had left.

710
00:30:14.519 --> 00:30:17.759
<v Speaker 2>So and and you know, we were talking sports and

711
00:30:17.799 --> 00:30:20.480
<v Speaker 2>again my little bros in town, and he just got

712
00:30:20.519 --> 00:30:22.640
<v Speaker 2>in here, probably about nine minutes ago. He flies for

713
00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:24.640
<v Speaker 2>American Airlines. He's got to lay over here in Louisville.

714
00:30:24.640 --> 00:30:26.720
<v Speaker 2>So we're visiting for a little bit, kind of doing

715
00:30:26.759 --> 00:30:28.039
<v Speaker 2>it on the air, so you get to hear a

716
00:30:28.039 --> 00:30:32.000
<v Speaker 2>little bit of that as we do. I remember you

717
00:30:32.079 --> 00:30:35.839
<v Speaker 2>and I were on a Western Pacific cruise and we

718
00:30:36.000 --> 00:30:40.920
<v Speaker 2>pulled into Singapore. We were in Singapore and you somehow

719
00:30:41.839 --> 00:30:44.319
<v Speaker 2>got tired and you were sober when this happened. You

720
00:30:44.440 --> 00:30:46.200
<v Speaker 2>got talked into playing rugby.

721
00:30:46.440 --> 00:30:48.440
<v Speaker 3>Yes, And I think every time I see this on

722
00:30:48.519 --> 00:30:52.319
<v Speaker 3>the Olympics, I think of you. And I remember we.

723
00:30:52.200 --> 00:30:53.880
<v Speaker 2>Met a couple of ladies that were there with us,

724
00:30:54.559 --> 00:30:56.240
<v Speaker 2>and I stayed back with the ladies.

725
00:30:57.240 --> 00:30:59.960
<v Speaker 3>You went out and the one lady told me, she

726
00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:02.599
<v Speaker 3>goes He's gonna get killed, and you did.

727
00:31:02.720 --> 00:31:05.319
<v Speaker 2>I just remember your face just being bloodied by the

728
00:31:05.400 --> 00:31:06.480
<v Speaker 2>time you were done.

729
00:31:06.599 --> 00:31:08.400
<v Speaker 4>It was kind of like that scene and Friends where

730
00:31:08.480 --> 00:31:12.119
<v Speaker 4>Ross goes out to play rugby. Uh yeah, I was

731
00:31:12.160 --> 00:31:14.720
<v Speaker 4>literally we were watching videos on the ship. I had

732
00:31:14.759 --> 00:31:17.519
<v Speaker 4>no idea how to play rugby, and we're watching videos

733
00:31:17.640 --> 00:31:19.839
<v Speaker 4>on how to play rugby. But the good news was

734
00:31:19.880 --> 00:31:21.119
<v Speaker 4>there was free beer afterwards.

735
00:31:21.279 --> 00:31:24.000
<v Speaker 3>That's right, That's right, they threw that one.

736
00:31:24.119 --> 00:31:26.000
<v Speaker 2>Not like a country club we went to. It was

737
00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:27.559
<v Speaker 2>like the equivalent of a country club. It was some

738
00:31:27.599 --> 00:31:28.119
<v Speaker 2>sort of club.

739
00:31:28.200 --> 00:31:30.119
<v Speaker 4>It was pretty big. Yeah, I'm not sure what it was,

740
00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:31.279
<v Speaker 4>but it was. Yeah.

741
00:31:31.319 --> 00:31:35.119
<v Speaker 3>It was a bunch of British speaking people. Yeah, never,

742
00:31:36.640 --> 00:31:37.559
<v Speaker 3>but but you did.

743
00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:39.240
<v Speaker 2>And see that's what we talked about when we were

744
00:31:39.240 --> 00:31:41.039
<v Speaker 2>talking about we had the Olympics on here in the

745
00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:44.119
<v Speaker 2>studio and you know, just some of the international sport

746
00:31:44.559 --> 00:31:46.920
<v Speaker 2>that we've been able to partake of and at least

747
00:31:46.920 --> 00:31:50.960
<v Speaker 2>witness through our travels and whatnot. But it certainly has

748
00:31:51.000 --> 00:31:54.200
<v Speaker 2>been fun. Now, so just some folks kind of paint

749
00:31:54.240 --> 00:31:56.200
<v Speaker 2>this picture. You and I came in and listened together.

750
00:31:56.440 --> 00:31:58.759
<v Speaker 2>I was already in the navy. You graduated ninety four,

751
00:31:58.799 --> 00:32:01.519
<v Speaker 2>You came in, you joined. It wasn't like you went

752
00:32:01.559 --> 00:32:04.519
<v Speaker 2>to these new state of the art aircraft carriers too.

753
00:32:04.519 --> 00:32:06.720
<v Speaker 2>We were on I don't want to call it a

754
00:32:06.720 --> 00:32:10.480
<v Speaker 2>floating toilet, but it was pretty close. I mean that

755
00:32:10.519 --> 00:32:13.400
<v Speaker 2>thing was built like two days after World War Two ended, right,

756
00:32:13.640 --> 00:32:16.960
<v Speaker 2>and one of the last conventional carriers. All I remember

757
00:32:17.039 --> 00:32:19.880
<v Speaker 2>is you were lucky if you had hot water. I

758
00:32:19.920 --> 00:32:22.920
<v Speaker 2>remember we were in the Persian golf.

759
00:32:23.319 --> 00:32:23.680
<v Speaker 3>Oh is it?

760
00:32:23.720 --> 00:32:26.960
<v Speaker 2>We were in the Persian golf in July, hottest time

761
00:32:27.000 --> 00:32:30.160
<v Speaker 2>of the year to be there, and you literally had

762
00:32:30.160 --> 00:32:32.759
<v Speaker 2>to change your bedding almost every hour because you were

763
00:32:32.759 --> 00:32:33.680
<v Speaker 2>sweating that much.

764
00:32:34.039 --> 00:32:37.440
<v Speaker 3>In cramped in areas. Yep. And but you know, when

765
00:32:37.440 --> 00:32:40.279
<v Speaker 3>you look back on it, you look where it got you. Here,

766
00:32:40.319 --> 00:32:42.960
<v Speaker 3>you are flying Now what what do you fly for? American? Now?

767
00:32:43.000 --> 00:32:46.640
<v Speaker 4>What do you I'm on the airbus three twenty okay,

768
00:32:46.839 --> 00:32:49.759
<v Speaker 4>so okay, yeah, And it's definitely, I mean, it's a

769
00:32:49.839 --> 00:32:52.839
<v Speaker 4>it's a far comparison from where I was then, did.

770
00:32:53.119 --> 00:32:54.319
<v Speaker 3>I'm saying at the Gould House?

771
00:32:55.279 --> 00:32:56.880
<v Speaker 4>But those were those were good times, you know, those

772
00:32:56.880 --> 00:32:59.440
<v Speaker 4>were what got us through to where we are. But

773
00:32:59.519 --> 00:33:02.200
<v Speaker 4>I think without those experiences, you know, you can't.

774
00:33:02.319 --> 00:33:05.519
<v Speaker 2>And when you were you always wanted to be a pilot.

775
00:33:05.640 --> 00:33:08.440
<v Speaker 2>But when did you know you know, you were a

776
00:33:08.480 --> 00:33:10.759
<v Speaker 2>navigator on a need to But when did you know

777
00:33:10.960 --> 00:33:13.559
<v Speaker 2>what point along this journey I'm talking about, from when

778
00:33:13.559 --> 00:33:15.440
<v Speaker 2>you left high school to where you are right now,

779
00:33:15.920 --> 00:33:17.720
<v Speaker 2>did you say, hey, I think I'm onto something.

780
00:33:18.279 --> 00:33:20.039
<v Speaker 4>I think it was going back to those days that

781
00:33:20.079 --> 00:33:22.000
<v Speaker 4>you're talking about when I was on the aircraft carry

782
00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:24.160
<v Speaker 4>I actually have a little journal I wrote in and

783
00:33:24.200 --> 00:33:26.200
<v Speaker 4>it was from like nineteen ninety five and we were

784
00:33:26.200 --> 00:33:28.799
<v Speaker 4>finishing up my first deployment and I said, what I

785
00:33:28.839 --> 00:33:31.160
<v Speaker 4>really want to do is write be a pilot. Yeah,

786
00:33:31.240 --> 00:33:33.039
<v Speaker 4>and I have a picture of that somewhere. But I

787
00:33:33.039 --> 00:33:35.119
<v Speaker 4>think when we were on deployment, I actually bought a

788
00:33:35.119 --> 00:33:37.240
<v Speaker 4>book this out naive I was, and it said how

789
00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:40.880
<v Speaker 4>to become a commercial pilot. Nonet didn't exist then, right

790
00:33:41.680 --> 00:33:43.920
<v Speaker 4>pretty right now, if anybody out there wanted to become

791
00:33:43.920 --> 00:33:46.279
<v Speaker 4>a pilot, just google how do I become a pilot

792
00:33:46.359 --> 00:33:47.759
<v Speaker 4>and they could do it. I think I bought a

793
00:33:47.799 --> 00:33:50.960
<v Speaker 4>book and now I look back at it, it's so funny.

794
00:33:50.799 --> 00:33:53.880
<v Speaker 4>But no, Yeah, if anybody wants to be a pilot now,

795
00:33:53.880 --> 00:33:55.880
<v Speaker 4>I mean you literally just google it and it's yeah,

796
00:33:55.920 --> 00:33:56.519
<v Speaker 4>it's going to tell you.

797
00:33:56.680 --> 00:33:58.640
<v Speaker 3>And you you almost made it here for thunder over

798
00:33:58.680 --> 00:34:01.480
<v Speaker 3>Louisville A couple of times, almost just missed it. That

799
00:34:01.480 --> 00:34:01.920
<v Speaker 3>would have been.

800
00:34:01.880 --> 00:34:03.640
<v Speaker 4>Last year to try. I'm gonna I think I'm gonna

801
00:34:03.640 --> 00:34:05.119
<v Speaker 4>try next year and then I think I'm gonna be

802
00:34:05.160 --> 00:34:06.240
<v Speaker 4>retired out of the reserves.

803
00:34:06.240 --> 00:34:07.960
<v Speaker 3>Are you? But you're gonna try to get it on

804
00:34:08.039 --> 00:34:08.440
<v Speaker 3>the E two?

805
00:34:09.199 --> 00:34:10.840
<v Speaker 4>Well, there's a T six that's what I'm at right

806
00:34:11.199 --> 00:34:13.320
<v Speaker 4>Pensacol and they got a training airplane, so it's a

807
00:34:13.360 --> 00:34:16.480
<v Speaker 4>smaller airplane out at school. But but yeah, so we'll

808
00:34:16.480 --> 00:34:19.480
<v Speaker 4>see because I thunder over Louisville is ridiculous. Kind of

809
00:34:19.480 --> 00:34:21.480
<v Speaker 4>a kind of a party, kind of a big deal.

810
00:34:22.039 --> 00:34:24.760
<v Speaker 2>I remember one time you came in here and you're

811
00:34:24.880 --> 00:34:27.079
<v Speaker 2>you're the E two and you came in you guys

812
00:34:27.079 --> 00:34:31.159
<v Speaker 2>stopped here at the at the Ater National Guard, and

813
00:34:31.239 --> 00:34:32.760
<v Speaker 2>it's a big deal because people don't see the E

814
00:34:32.800 --> 00:34:34.360
<v Speaker 2>two in here in Louisville. In fact, if you go

815
00:34:34.360 --> 00:34:35.840
<v Speaker 2>out there, did you see the the is it the

816
00:34:35.880 --> 00:34:37.239
<v Speaker 2>C five that's out there right now?

817
00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:40.960
<v Speaker 4>I think I did see something the Pittsburgh International Guard.

818
00:34:41.400 --> 00:34:44.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, And but you don't see the E two,

819
00:34:44.320 --> 00:34:46.440
<v Speaker 2>which for those that are listening, that's the one with

820
00:34:46.480 --> 00:34:50.760
<v Speaker 2>the radar dome on top the prop. But you came

821
00:34:50.760 --> 00:34:53.760
<v Speaker 2>in here, and what people don't understand is you can't

822
00:34:53.760 --> 00:34:56.159
<v Speaker 2>just pull in here, stop off, go use the bathroom,

823
00:34:56.199 --> 00:34:58.760
<v Speaker 2>grab something out of the vending machine, and leave. You

824
00:34:58.800 --> 00:35:00.920
<v Speaker 2>guys need certain things to get it's going, don't you

825
00:35:01.039 --> 00:35:01.960
<v Speaker 2>like power units?

826
00:35:02.119 --> 00:35:04.599
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's a it's a pretty old airplane, so you

827
00:35:04.639 --> 00:35:06.119
<v Speaker 4>know when you pull up now, you got to have

828
00:35:06.159 --> 00:35:09.079
<v Speaker 4>a Huffer car. Just start an electrical plug in Huffer car.

829
00:35:09.199 --> 00:35:10.280
<v Speaker 3>That sounds like our old man.

830
00:35:11.360 --> 00:35:13.760
<v Speaker 4>It's just a fun word, right, right, and the old

831
00:35:13.840 --> 00:35:14.559
<v Speaker 4>Huffer car. Right.

832
00:35:14.639 --> 00:35:16.599
<v Speaker 3>But no, when you were here, you didn't know if

833
00:35:16.639 --> 00:35:17.599
<v Speaker 3>you had one.

834
00:35:17.400 --> 00:35:19.199
<v Speaker 4>Right, So you have to call ahead, and then you

835
00:35:19.239 --> 00:35:21.159
<v Speaker 4>got to if you do have to land, you don't

836
00:35:21.159 --> 00:35:23.880
<v Speaker 4>have one, you got to start calling around different places

837
00:35:23.960 --> 00:35:26.880
<v Speaker 4>and trying to piece something together that might, you know,

838
00:35:26.920 --> 00:35:30.119
<v Speaker 4>get your airplane to start. But yeah, that was, yeah,

839
00:35:30.199 --> 00:35:31.840
<v Speaker 4>that was a while ago. It was about fifteen years ago,

840
00:35:31.880 --> 00:35:32.199
<v Speaker 4>I think.

841
00:35:32.440 --> 00:35:34.719
<v Speaker 2>So, So tell me all this as much as you

842
00:35:34.719 --> 00:35:36.000
<v Speaker 2>can tell me. I don't want to put you on

843
00:35:36.000 --> 00:35:37.840
<v Speaker 2>the spot because it is your mainstay in your job,

844
00:35:37.840 --> 00:35:39.039
<v Speaker 2>and I want you to get you in trouble with

845
00:35:39.079 --> 00:35:40.039
<v Speaker 2>any corporate folks.

846
00:35:40.039 --> 00:35:43.119
<v Speaker 3>But what's all this airline melee stuff about what is

847
00:35:43.199 --> 00:35:44.159
<v Speaker 3>going on? Dude?

848
00:35:44.400 --> 00:35:47.559
<v Speaker 4>I think just more people are traveling and that's that's

849
00:35:47.559 --> 00:35:50.840
<v Speaker 4>stress in the system. You know, you talk about the

850
00:35:50.840 --> 00:35:54.960
<v Speaker 4>pilot shortage and then the way airlines are being managed.

851
00:35:55.159 --> 00:35:57.519
<v Speaker 4>The airlines are growing as the airline murder. I mean,

852
00:35:57.559 --> 00:35:59.519
<v Speaker 4>if you look at American airlines, their history is just

853
00:35:59.639 --> 00:36:02.840
<v Speaker 4>murder after merger after merger, and now there's fifteen thousand pilots,

854
00:36:02.840 --> 00:36:05.960
<v Speaker 4>sixteen thousand pilots and trying to manage all that. I

855
00:36:05.960 --> 00:36:12.440
<v Speaker 4>will say this, at least we're not Delta.

856
00:36:09.960 --> 00:36:12.800
<v Speaker 3>At least round one. Yeah.

857
00:36:12.920 --> 00:36:16.400
<v Speaker 4>Now, I think it's just growing pains. And you know,

858
00:36:16.480 --> 00:36:19.760
<v Speaker 4>air travel, you know, when we we were traveling as kids,

859
00:36:19.880 --> 00:36:22.519
<v Speaker 4>was a lot different than it is now, much different.

860
00:36:23.000 --> 00:36:24.960
<v Speaker 4>I think it's just trying to keep up with technology.

861
00:36:24.960 --> 00:36:27.800
<v Speaker 4>We saw two weeks ago how technology can shut everything

862
00:36:27.840 --> 00:36:31.280
<v Speaker 4>down pretty quick. So but at the same time, it's

863
00:36:31.280 --> 00:36:33.199
<v Speaker 4>a double edged store because it helps, you know, it

864
00:36:33.239 --> 00:36:35.280
<v Speaker 4>makes the airline run a lot more efficient too.

865
00:36:35.400 --> 00:36:37.639
<v Speaker 2>So we're spending we're spending some time with my little

866
00:36:37.639 --> 00:36:39.599
<v Speaker 2>brothers in town on a layover.

867
00:36:39.639 --> 00:36:41.280
<v Speaker 3>We're talking a little airline busins. I got a couple

868
00:36:41.320 --> 00:36:43.079
<v Speaker 3>more questions for you about the airline biz. John and

<v Speaker 2>for the men's Serbia and USA. Serbia up on team

897
00:37:46.440 --> 00:37:49.440
<v Speaker 2>USA right now. Fourteen to eleven. John, I don't know

898
00:37:49.440 --> 00:37:50.800
<v Speaker 2>if you had a chance to catch some of the

899
00:37:50.880 --> 00:37:54.119
<v Speaker 2>women's three with Haley van Litt and Ryan Howard this afternoon.

900
00:37:54.159 --> 00:37:54.599
<v Speaker 3>I did not.

901
00:37:55.000 --> 00:37:57.960
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't pretty, Oh man, it wasn't pretty. And of

902
00:37:58.039 --> 00:38:03.400
<v Speaker 2>course they're defending gold medalists. Hailey Haley, she she was Hailey.

903
00:38:03.519 --> 00:38:05.760
<v Speaker 2>I mean, she was tough, she was she was pushing

904
00:38:05.760 --> 00:38:09.199
<v Speaker 2>her way around Ryan. Now, Ryan Howard has been dealing

905
00:38:09.199 --> 00:38:11.199
<v Speaker 2>with injuries. You know, she was coming in as the

906
00:38:11.199 --> 00:38:14.280
<v Speaker 2>Atlanta Dreams leading scorer, one of the top scores in

907
00:38:14.280 --> 00:38:16.280
<v Speaker 2>the w NBA, and then she messed up her ankle,

908
00:38:16.599 --> 00:38:18.559
<v Speaker 2>and you can tell that's kind of Quase still bothering

909
00:38:18.599 --> 00:38:20.639
<v Speaker 2>her a little bit. But Hailey, I thought we'd see

910
00:38:20.639 --> 00:38:22.559
<v Speaker 2>a little bit more out of her. We'll see if

911
00:38:22.559 --> 00:38:24.119
<v Speaker 2>they can rebound and get it back. But they start

912
00:38:24.159 --> 00:38:27.360
<v Speaker 2>out with it with an l in defense of their

913
00:38:27.360 --> 00:38:30.440
<v Speaker 2>gold medal against Germany. So more sports going on there.

914
00:38:31.039 --> 00:38:33.280
<v Speaker 2>We do have men soccer going on right now. It

915
00:38:33.280 --> 00:38:35.960
<v Speaker 2>looks like Japan is up on Israel right now. One

916
00:38:36.280 --> 00:38:39.199
<v Speaker 2>nothing that in the second period. It looks like they

917
00:38:39.239 --> 00:38:41.559
<v Speaker 2>are adding eight minutes of stoppage time. They're in the

918
00:38:41.679 --> 00:38:44.519
<v Speaker 2>fourth minute of that stoppage time. So Japan on top

919
00:38:44.559 --> 00:38:48.920
<v Speaker 2>of Israel in the Olympic Games, team USA beating UH.

920
00:38:49.039 --> 00:38:50.960
<v Speaker 3>I always say the name wrong again.

921
00:38:51.159 --> 00:38:54.440
<v Speaker 2>I want to say gone, gone, God, I get it

922
00:38:54.480 --> 00:38:57.440
<v Speaker 2>wrong anyway, Team USA won to day three nothing okay, Guinea,

923
00:38:57.559 --> 00:38:58.480
<v Speaker 2>So I'm thinking about Guinea.

924
00:38:58.679 --> 00:38:59.440
<v Speaker 3>GINNEYA thank you.
