When you think of all the people 20 00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:00.960 on our audience and so all the people who had 21 00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:04.359 mothers and all of the wisdom from those mothers, and 22 00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:07.480 then our callers boil it down to maybe, you know, 23 00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:10.640 the top gem that they got from their mother, or 24 00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:13.560 maybe the top two. So it's a really fun and 25 00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:15.760 helpful show each year when we do that. So fire 26 00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:18.840 it will or you can taxt d an five seven 27 00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:21.280 seven three nine three or three someone three eight two 28 00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:23.719 five five. I'm kind of a throwback. I love the callers, 29 00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:26.040 but one way or the other, we'll get your mama's 30 00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:30.560 wisdom onto the show. And my mom had so much 31 00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:33.159 I just don't want to hog the at on this. 32 00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:36.719 She just had so much great wisdom. And my dad too, 33 00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:40.640 of course, right, but boy, and my mom was she 34 00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:43.680 could have been anything, CEO of anything. She she decided 35 00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:45.959 to stay home with us, and so we got that 36 00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:50.120 wisdom from her all the time, sometimes accompanied by a uh, 37 00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:55.920 you know, some firm physical encouragement. But boy, what a 38 00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:58.280 devoted mom, all right, he three or three someone three 39 00:01:58.319 --> 00:02:01.480 eight two five five text D five seven seven three nine. 40 00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:03.000 And a great one is I go to the phone 41 00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:05.480 lines and text, hey, we're talking a lot about you know, 42 00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:07.319 we're learning more and more about the Pope. We talked 43 00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:09.960 about a lot yesterday and just more and more reason 44 00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:11.960 to believe that what I said yesterday is true and 45 00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:13.919 what I felt, and I really I'm sure you the 46 00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:17.680 same way. I just truly trust and rely on my intuition. 47 00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:21.360 And it's not perfect, because no human's perfect, but it's 48 00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:24.599 better than anything else, and it's really good. And so 49 00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:29.400 I just have this overpowering feeling that this pope is 50 00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:31.879 going to be one of the superstar popes, you know, 51 00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:35.840 the John Paul the Great kind of popes, and they'll 52 00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:37.840 only be one John Paul the Great. But I think 53 00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:41.159 this pope, I think he's going to be. I think 54 00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:49.919 he's going to be a courageous, energetic, plane spoken bridge peacemaker. 55 00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:53.319 I think he's perfectly positioned to as my uncle said, 56 00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:56.280 father Roger capitalist priest for sixty seven years in Chicago, 57 00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:58.759 still doing multiple masses a week. He joined us at 58 00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:01.560 four twenty. You can him off the pod. This is 59 00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:05.840 kind of a perfect pope to serve as a bridge 60 00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:09.960 between different factions while at the same time not being 61 00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:12.960 milk toast. And yeah, I think there are great things 62 00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.439 that had there. And even if you don't have any faith, 63 00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:19.240 no matter of different faith, the world is still greatly 64 00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:21.879 affected by a great pope, and I think we got 65 00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:25.319 one here, Dan and Arvada. You're on the dan kaplosh'll welcome. 66 00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:30.439 Hey, Dan, I really enjoy listening to you debate people 67 00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:36.759 that have different facts than yours. Oh, the last color Warren, 68 00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:41.560 the last color Warren. Absolutely when you flate him on 69 00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:46.680 the facts, then he diverted and deflected to the Mexico border. 70 00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:53.439 Why didn't you Why didn't Ukraine or Russia invade Ukraine 71 00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:58.199 during Trump You pretty much didn't have an answer, and 72 00:03:58.240 --> 00:03:59.960 it was just hilarious to listen to him. 73 00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:03.439 Oh, let's talk about Mexico now. And you know the 74 00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:06.319 thing about Warrantine just a quick note, because he's called before. 75 00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:09.800 There's no doubt in my mind about ther masarity of 76 00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:13.680 his belief and he just really believes that that Russia 77 00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:16.160 had a right to be concerned about Ukraine. And I 78 00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:19.319 will just always come back to the point that that 79 00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:23.839 that doesn't justify rape and pillage, it doesn't justify the invasion. 80 00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:28.519 And listen, I'm sure trying. And I don't fault. I 81 00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:31.519 don't fault to Russian people. I just think Vladimir Putin 82 00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:33.759 is one of the most evil men to ever live. 83 00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:40.040 You're right, You're right, have a good weekend. 84 00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:42.319 Hey you two man, thank you, have a great Mother's 85 00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:45.839 Day weekend. And best advice for mom. I just want 86 00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:47.560 to throw one out there to sort of get it going. 87 00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:51.160 There's so much good advice, but to me, I'll just 88 00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:53.439 start kind of with the clock, right, just like when 89 00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:55.480 the first thing woke up in the morning. She would 90 00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:58.040 always say, first thing, when you wake up in the morning, 91 00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:01.240 think of the five things you're eight full four and 92 00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:04.079 the five things you're looking for to that day. And 93 00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:07.560 that was just such a tremendous habit to get into, right, 94 00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:10.839 because it's you know people. It didn't Lincoln say, Ryan, 95 00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:13.800 you're up on all this dead president's stuff. Didn't Lincoln 96 00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:16.920 say that people are as happy as they decide to be. 97 00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:20.120 So it's what you And this is a Tony Robbins 98 00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:22.439 thing now, right, He's made his bones on this. What 99 00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:25.279 are you going to focus on? Like right now, Ryan 100 00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:28.639 Schuling could probably think of five things to focus on 101 00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:31.519 to make them happy or no matter how well your 102 00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:34.120 day's going, five things you could focus on to make 103 00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:38.480 you sad. Yeah, Well, and you've got Alexa, so that's yeah, 104 00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:40.439 not that you wouldn't be happy with Kelly. 105 00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:43.199 Right, but Alex is a nice bonus. Yeah, well Kelly 106 00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:43.759 can't make it. 107 00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:46.360 But but yeah, so I just think that was great 108 00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:49.480 advice from my mom. Absolutely. 109 00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:52.879 My mom was more kind of practical, street smart type stuff, 110 00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:54.040 and she was great at. 111 00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:57.040 It, like hit him in the Adams Eppo, not like. 112 00:05:57.199 --> 00:05:59.399 On the streets. I mean she was from River Rouge. 113 00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:02.920 I wasn't tough down over Detroit. But one of the 114 00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:04.759 ones that I've used in my life and it's worked 115 00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:08.160 almost every time, is you go into a car dealership 116 00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:09.680 and they're trying to sell you a car, and they 117 00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:12.720 give you a price, walk out, just leave, just leave, 118 00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:15.279 and milk call back his darn toot. And she was 119 00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:17.560 absolutely right, Oh, we can do something else for you. 120 00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:20.800 Oh why couldn't you do that when I was there before? Wow, 121 00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:23.879 that was another day that's impressed. Oh yeah that you know. 122 00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:26.399 One of the most powerful memories of my mom is 123 00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:29.399 we're at seventy six oh five South Aberdeen, heart of 124 00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:33.680 the South Side of Chicago. The neighborhood is is it's changing, 125 00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:37.480 it's changing racially, and there's a lot of racial tension, 126 00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:39.959 and we're just a summer night we're all out in 127 00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:42.399 front of my dad's working swings, so he's not there, 128 00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:44.759 all the kids playing out in front, and then all 129 00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:47.800 of a sudden, bang bang bang bang bang, and they're 130 00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:51.240 just bullets slamming off the house and my mom just 131 00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:54.560 as calm as she could be. Okay, kids, time to 132 00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:58.839 go in, and just it just kind of hurts us 133 00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:02.240 into the house, bang in, big big bang, and he's 134 00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:08.000 just incredibly calm. And yeah, she was just amazing. And 135 00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:09.839 that's why you hear it. My uncle when he joined 136 00:07:09.879 --> 00:07:12.480 us at four twenty. Just the strengths, you know what 137 00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:15.399 I mean, Just the strength that I'm not saying Chicago's 138 00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:17.800 the only place you have strong people, but just growing 139 00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:19.879 up there and my uncle a priests there for sixty 140 00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:22.279 seven years. The weather will make you strong if nothing else. 141 00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:24.680 You guys, spend any time in Chicago, Oh yeah, lots 142 00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:26.399 of time. When I came out here, it took me 143 00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:30.160 like an hour to say, literally, thank you God, I 144 00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:32.639 have gone to heaven. When you come out here and 145 00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:34.560 you got the weather and you got the beauty, who 146 00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:37.079 would ever come here and leave? Eh? It's a good question. 147 00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:39.839 And what I was wondering too, and listening to your 148 00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:42.120 phenomenal uncle. Again that he is ninety three. There are 149 00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:44.519 listeners that are texting in that still don't believe that either. 150 00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:47.319 Oh man, But just what his relationship was like with 151 00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:47.800 your father? 152 00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:50.399 They were brothers, right, oh yeah, yeah, yeah? Yeah? Were 153 00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:53.920 they close? Oh yeah? But competitive in the sense that 154 00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:56.360 I mean my dad was a star athlete. He played 155 00:07:56.360 --> 00:07:58.240 it to Paul under ray Meyer. I mean he played 156 00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:01.839 big time college basketball and went to Leo and was 157 00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:05.680 a star there. And father Raj was a super star priest. 158 00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:09.160 I mean, like he was before this became a thing. Man, 159 00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:13.319 he was the CBS commentator. So I can't remember which pope, 160 00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:14.959 but he was one of the first priest to ever 161 00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:19.040 be on TV doing color commentary for religious stuff. Wow. Yeah, No, 162 00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:22.160 he was super star priest and he still is. They 163 00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:24.680 still pack the church for him. He's incredible. And you 164 00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:26.519 know what the you know one thing he does great, 165 00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:31.160 I mean the homilyes thing seven minutes, but it's brilliant. 166 00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:34.559 It's one point tells a joke gets out of there, 167 00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:37.000 but he gives people an important message. 168 00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:39.000 Less is more and brevity is the soul of wit. 169 00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:42.440 Well, there's no question about it. It's the danger of diffusion. Right, 170 00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:44.799 you got a good point to make. Rian's very good 171 00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:46.159 at this in a show. He does a great show 172 00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:48.519 two to four in the Denver market each day. But 173 00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:51.000 you got a great point to make. Make the darn 174 00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:54.159 point and get out of there. Don't don't diffuse the 175 00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:57.039 value of the point, making three or four other points 176 00:08:57.080 --> 00:08:59.559 the way I do. You know, Just just make your 177 00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:02.879 good point, get out of there. It's uh, yeah, he's 178 00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:06.200 very good at that as a priest, and he was 179 00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:09.200 great at our wedding. He was great at our wedding too. 180 00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:12.879 It was very very privileged that he was there.

Yeah, make 190 00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:52.159 a brilliant point, keep it short and leave. 191 00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:52.519 No. 192 00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:55.120 That is such a great point. It's like a priest 193 00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:58.559 when I was in the seminary told me, which is 194 00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:04.080 always leave him wanting more. I thought it was a 195 00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:08.960 great point. It might be some situations that doesn't apply to, 196 00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:13.000 but it applies to almost every Maybe it applies to everything. Dan, 197 00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:15.759 my mom used to say, be careful what you wish for. 198 00:10:17.799 --> 00:10:20.799 There's some truth in that, I guess, depending on what 199 00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:22.960 you're wishing for. So, hey, we want to come back, 200 00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:25.240 and we'll continue with hot sound. I do promise I 201 00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:28.279 spaced it. I'll deliver when we come back, the single 202 00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:30.360 greatest nine to one one call you've ever heard. I 203 00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:33.159 don't think anybody will disagree with that once they hear it. 204 00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:35.799 It's going to introduce a new phrase into pop culture. 205 00:10:36.279 --> 00:10:38.720 And then we'll just do a whole bunch of best 206 00:10:38.759 --> 00:10:40.679 advice your mother ever gave you. Three or three someone 207 00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:43.720 three eight two five five text d A N five 208 00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:48.480 seven seven three nine And now back to the Dan 209 00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:49.799 Kaplas Show podcast. 210 00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:53.679 A man should not play sports against women. I'm not 211 00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:55.720 going to get into all the book that's going on 212 00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:58.360 out here in the world today. If anybody think that, 213 00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:03.080 I think they're stupid. I'm not, like I said, I 214 00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:05.720 support the gay community one hundred percent. I support the 215 00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:10.559 transgender community one hundred percent. But I do, not, under 216 00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:15.159 any circumstances on zero think that men should play sports 217 00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:17.960 against women. And if anybody have a problem with that, 218 00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:19.679 they're gonna have to get over it, because I'm not 219 00:11:19.679 --> 00:11:22.759 going to change my I'm not going to change I 220 00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:24.159 just think is wrong period. 221 00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:27.399 How can anybody argue with that? Right? And I sure 222 00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:31.240 hope whoever the GOP nominee is for governor in Colorado, 223 00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:34.799 for Senator in Colorado, they better pound that issue home 224 00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:37.399 and because it's a great way of exposing their opponent 225 00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:40.840 and who their opponent really is. Simple, Okay, should men 226 00:11:40.919 --> 00:11:45.960 play women's sports? Should boys play girl sports? Should boys 227 00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:49.039 be in girls' locker rooms? Should boys be in girls showers? 228 00:11:49.080 --> 00:11:52.399 I mean, just expose the opponent that way, right, because 229 00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:56.240 this is one hundred to zero issue when just thinking 230 00:11:56.279 --> 00:12:00.159 about right and wrong. But the Democrat candidates won't be 231 00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:04.279 able to break from the insane position that the Democratic 232 00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:07.320 parties committed to. So I sure hope, I sure hope 233 00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:08.360 that has hit very. 234 00:12:08.159 --> 00:12:10.639 Hard even the way Charles said it. Though Dan I 235 00:12:10.639 --> 00:12:12.600 mentioned this on my program earlier because I was sitting 236 00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:15.639 there listening to him, and I agree. But the pro 237 00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:19.919 trans women in Women's Spaces and sports movement would say, 238 00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:22.879 of course Charles is right, men shouldn't, but trans women 239 00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:25.600 are women and they should be allowed to participate in 240 00:12:25.639 --> 00:12:27.559 the sports and enter the spaces and change in the 241 00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:29.919 locker rooms where women are because that's how identify they 242 00:12:29.960 --> 00:12:30.960 identify and their women. 243 00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:33.039 Is there one person on the face of the other 244 00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:34.720 stupid enough to believe that. I think a lot of 245 00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:37.559 people believe that. Oh they don't. I mean to look 246 00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:39.960 at the overwhelming success of the Trump ady. Why do 247 00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:41.879 you think they spend one hundred and eighty million dollars 248 00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:45.039 on it? Right? I mean, why would they have? That 249 00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:47.799 was the most effective political ad in our lifetimes? 250 00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:51.600 Granted, Dan, why did thirteen twelve just pass the Colorado 251 00:12:51.639 --> 00:12:52.360 General Assembly? 252 00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:55.759 Because the General Assembly doesn't give a darn what the 253 00:12:55.759 --> 00:12:58.840 people of Colorado think or want. I'm being literal here. 254 00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:03.919 They don't Ryan, right, they think they're politically bulletproof, then 255 00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:04.799 why do they do it though? 256 00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:07.399 I mean, just to flaunt that fact that we're politically 257 00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:09.960 bullet for so we'll do the craziest blank ever and 258 00:13:10.039 --> 00:13:10.720 get away with it. 259 00:13:10.879 --> 00:13:14.200 Yeah, Because all the big money in the Democratic Party now, 260 00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:16.440 and a lot of it's national money, but also some 261 00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:20.720 Colorado money is on the hardcore radical secular left. That's 262 00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:23.840 where the big money's coming from. So the attitude of 263 00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:27.679 Colorado Democrats is that if you win the primary, you're 264 00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:30.120 going to win the race, and the money to win 265 00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:33.519 the primary is going to come from these hardcore radical 266 00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:37.879 secular leftists, most of them national, and so that's why 267 00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:43.279 they're doing all this insane stuff. And look at Mike Johnston. 268 00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:46.159 He used to be saying he used to so we 269 00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:48.759 disagreed about plenty of things, but he used to be saying, 270 00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:50.519 he'd come on the show all the time, we'd have 271 00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:54.639 these conversations. And now look at the guy. You can't 272 00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:59.000 even recognize him intellectually. I mean, his hair still realize, 273 00:13:59.039 --> 00:14:00.639 and he's got that going for him, but you can't 274 00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:04.080 even recognize him just all this insane, crazy stuff. Doesn't 275 00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:07.480 he start speeches now saying he could be talking about 276 00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:09.840 four people just had their heads cut off on the mall, 277 00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:12.879 and he'll start the speech with I stand here recognizing 278 00:14:12.879 --> 00:14:15.799 we're on hollow ground that at one point was owned 279 00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:17.679 by the Eskimos. I mean that's what he does. 280 00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:21.200 I just couldn't believe. Maybe I should have believed it, Dan, 281 00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:23.679 But to your point, when he held that mini press 282 00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:26.679 conference on the sixteenth Street mall after the flight attendant 283 00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:29.240 woman had been stabbed, lord death and he was talking 284 00:14:29.240 --> 00:14:29.960 about fat. 285 00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:33.879 Lap oh, he was doing a victory lap just yards 286 00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:35.840 from where she almost hit her hut head cut off. 287 00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:40.840 Unreal but in all fairness, the greatest performance ever by 288 00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:44.480 a signer, right, remember that, because because Johnston rolled out 289 00:14:44.519 --> 00:14:48.840 the signer who could sign for deaf people. And then 290 00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:52.440 when a heckler came by walking down the mall calling 291 00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:55.080 Johnston every name in the book, much of it very accurate, 292 00:14:55.720 --> 00:14:58.360 the signer, God love him, he just signed all that 293 00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:01.559 he made, the face he made the faces, he signed 294 00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:04.799 the names. And I never even knew you could sign 295 00:15:04.879 --> 00:15:08.200 some of those swear words. But hey, I promised this, 296 00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:12.200 and you can imagine what those signs look like. But 297 00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:14.840 this is the greatest nine to one one call you 298 00:15:14.879 --> 00:15:16.720 will ever hear. And then we're doing the best advice 299 00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:19.240 your mother ever gave you.

I don't fault him. I 315 00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:01.879 couldn't spell that word, but yeah, I'll just drag her 316 00:16:01.919 --> 00:16:08.320 over to Oak Oak minutes and the wardhog thing. I 317 00:16:08.360 --> 00:16:13.000 think that's a pretty rare injury. Yeah out, Yeah, best 318 00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:16.279 advice my mom. Here's one best advice my mom ever 319 00:16:16.320 --> 00:16:19.399 gave me. Girl, Once you start having children, you better 320 00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:22.600 eat while you're cooking because that's the last hot meal 321 00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:27.639 you'll ever have. That's good practical advice. He got it 322 00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:30.799 like that, Dan, My mom always told me never worry 323 00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:35.960 about things you can't control. That's pretty darn good advice too, 324 00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:38.399 So yeah, I want to hear from me on that. Plus, 325 00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:40.360 you can call us the old fashioned waight three oh 326 00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:44.360 three someone three eight two five five the number amazing. 327 00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:46.080 I just saw yeah, because when my uncle was on, 328 00:16:46.159 --> 00:16:48.080 Father Roger Caplis, he was on to talk about the 329 00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:50.720 new Pope because father Ogi's been a priest in Chicago 330 00:16:50.840 --> 00:16:54.360 sixty seven years. He made a comment about, yeah, you 331 00:16:54.399 --> 00:16:57.519 know that there's about the Pope being at the Socks game. 332 00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:00.320 And during the break, I was watching Ryan What are 333 00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:03.480 the odds? Game? One of that two thousand and five 334 00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:07.079 World Series Socks Astros. They do one of those crowd 335 00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:10.559 cuts and they zero in on him and he wasn't 336 00:17:10.559 --> 00:17:12.480 in a collar or anything. He was just in the 337 00:17:12.519 --> 00:17:15.039 stands watching the game. What are the odds they would 338 00:17:15.160 --> 00:17:17.160 zero in on him? That's great. So I think that 339 00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:20.039 answers the question. He is a Socks fan, but virtually 340 00:17:20.079 --> 00:17:21.759 every Southsider is right. 341 00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:24.440 Well, yeah, they're honest about it. But you know, it's 342 00:17:24.480 --> 00:17:26.440 really hard to be a white Sox fan these days. 343 00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:28.359 The only team worse than them is the Rockies. 344 00:17:28.519 --> 00:17:30.960 Yeah. But the funny thing for us was because my dad, 345 00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:34.200 we were Southsiders, I mean literal Southsiders, and then Southwest 346 00:17:34.599 --> 00:17:38.880 went aside. When my dad he was working swings right. 347 00:17:38.920 --> 00:17:41.640 So he was working four to twelve for Chicago Police, 348 00:17:42.200 --> 00:17:44.279 so he would take us to Wrigley Field in the 349 00:17:44.319 --> 00:17:46.920 morning because Socks played at night, Cubs played during the day, 350 00:17:47.640 --> 00:17:50.319 so he'd come home from work about midnight, get up early, 351 00:17:50.480 --> 00:17:52.160 take us down there. In the summer, we'd get in 352 00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:55.400 line about seven in the morning for bleacher seats, first come, 353 00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:58.480 first serve, and then they'd open the gates. We'd all 354 00:17:58.480 --> 00:18:00.599 scramble down so we could sit in the row. And 355 00:18:01.000 --> 00:18:04.680 so we really became Cubs fans. We went to both parks, 356 00:18:05.319 --> 00:18:07.880 but just because of his work schedule. But yeah, I 357 00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:09.519 don't think there was ever a doubt the Pope was 358 00:18:09.559 --> 00:18:12.400 a Socks fan. He just being on the South Side. Hey, 359 00:18:12.440 --> 00:18:14.319 I want to hear the best advice your mother ever 360 00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:16.240 gave you.
