This episode starts with a quirky reflection on wardrobe habits and transitions into tales of legendary concerts, including George Strait's record-breaking show at Kyle Field, and the emotional rollercoaster of attending what you thought was a last performance. We'll also share some hilarious anecdotes about being bamboozled by musicians like Ozzy Osbourne and Barbra Streisand.

Relive the awkwardness of middle school with us as we recount the nerve-wracking moments of first kisses and navigating early crushes. If you've ever had a love note misfire, you're sure to relate to the story of how a note from Tuttle's sister nearly led to a disaster with his first crush. Sibling rivalry gets its spotlight too, with tales of torment from Tuttle's sister, Tina.

Get ready for a whirlwind of emotions in our discussion about parental support, childhood memories, and the bittersweet nature of watching children grow up. From humorous ghost-avoidance tactics to Kline's challenging topic of pet loss and dog euthanasia, we cover it all. We'll also ponder the future of AI and digital immortality, speculating on a world where technology might make human labor obsolete.

Speaker 2:

welcome to the Tuttle and Klein show notice that you're in the traditional black shirt. Ah yes, it's been a while since I've seen you in a black shirt.

Speaker 3:

I know, I know I'm trying to vary it up a little bit more. You know a little spice oh, I like it. I like it even though, uh, if you peer into my closet, it looks like Johnny Bravo's closet.

Speaker 4:

The cartoon character.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, sure.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, whenever my kids are here they look in there and they just laugh. They take pictures and post it why they think it's funny. Just all black. Yeah, everything is black. You know I got some color now, but you know, before it was all black.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah, yeah, I think you had a streak of what? Maybe 10 years in a row that you wore black to work.

Speaker 3:

Yes, it was. I would say 2010 until 2021. Yeah, yep, so.

Speaker 2:

Makes the wardrobe choice easy.

Speaker 3:

Exactly. That's the thing. It's one less thing to worry about. We've talked about that before. You know, all the geniuses did that Einstein and Jobs, steve Jobs and you said Zuckerberg with the same shirt. That's right, so I like to categorize myself as a genius.

Speaker 2:

I don't think there would be a disagreement there. Oh, please.

Speaker 3:

I'm such an idiot. It's unbelievable.

Speaker 2:

Well. But numbers wise and career wise I would say that's yeah. And your Mensa score, your IQ score, is really high.

Speaker 3:

Oh, don't say anything about my IQ score. I don't want to ruin my reputation as being a complete knucklehead. Kevin Kline.

Speaker 2:

Well, I mean, we made our living being a knucklehead.

Speaker 3:

But just to rehash it, I got every answer correct except one on the IQ test and I could have argued the one that they say I missed. There you go. That's all I'm going to tell you, kev. I don't know if you saw this or not, because you know you don't live in Texas anymore, but a big happenings. This past weekend, the king of country music, george Strait, uh huh, kyle Field, texas A&M, breaks the all time record for largest ticketed show in the history of the United States of America. One hundred and ten thousand people paid to watch the King of Country music.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that is stunning. Really, it's amazing to have 110,000 paid patrons.

Speaker 3:

And the dude is 72. And from what I've heard I was not there, but from what I heard it's as good a show as he's ever done.

Speaker 2:

But not to knock. George dude has almost 70 number ones. He doesn't jump around on stage like Garth Brooks. It's pretty, pretty mellow, you know? Yeah, he's not grinding it out.

Speaker 3:

Exactly so he's not like David Lee Roth doing backflips.

Speaker 2:

No, no you don't go to a George Strait for that though. He's not like David Lee Roth doing back flips and shit. No, no, uh-uh. You don't go to a George Strait for that though. You go to a George Strait because you can sing every song, you can sing along, you know every song and he's got a great voice.

Speaker 3:

And people have been messaging me hey, did you go? Did you go? I thought I saw you. I guess there's a couple doppelgangers, total doppelgangers, out there, because you know I had multiple people say I think I saw you, were you in blah, blah, blah section and this, that and the other? I did not go. Based on principle.

Speaker 3:

Principle yes, I attended his quote unquote last show at the Houston rodeo in 2014. And then, you know, I even purchased the video of, you know, the cowboy rides away tour final show at AT&T stadium in Dallas. So I feel robbed, to be honest with you, that that he has continued to put on shows when I have the feeling. I had the feeling at the time that I was watching the last. You know, it happened to me twice. You know what I'm talking about, don't you?

Speaker 2:

Fucking Ozzie.

Speaker 3:

Same here no more tours. Yeah, Remember that. No more tours. Back in the nineties and a man Kev, I paid a premium cause I was like seventh row for that.

Speaker 2:

Well, and then the other one that I paid a premium for was the 1999 Barbara Streisand at the MGM Grand. No, after this I'm never going to play live again. Paid $1,500 a seat to sit in the fucking rafters. I know Two years later, oh, I'm going out again.

Speaker 3:

Oh, I remember how angry that made you man. Oh, my God, dude, I felt seriously because I paid so much for those Ozzy 7th Row tickets. I want Ozzy. I couldn't enjoy his reality series with his kids as much because I just felt so ripped off. I mean his. It was called no More Tours, tour, yep, yeah, and lo and behold, he's had like five tours after that.

Speaker 2:

He's still dude, is like on his deathbed and he still wants to do one more show. You heard about this right.

Speaker 3:

No, what's going?

Speaker 2:

on. He wants to reunite with the other three members of Black Sabbath. And just do one show Birmingham, England, where he's from, that's where they're from. Yeah, and just do one show Birmingham.

Speaker 3:

England, where he's from.

Speaker 2:

That's where they're from yeah and just do one show and call it goodbye, and the holdup is the holdup. I think is Bill Ward the drummer.

Speaker 3:

Just do it, or you can get another drummer man.

Speaker 2:

He wants the original lineup. Okay, tony Iommi said he's open to it. Gieser Butler? Well shit, he just wants to play.

Speaker 3:

yeah, I don't know he needs some money for drugs. It's like, alright, alright, you know, don't have to suck a cock anymore for drugs.

Speaker 2:

Jesus, I'm so sorry he probably does not do that no, I think he's made enough money off of the residuals of black sabbath music, so but, um, yeah, I, I. I don't even know what ozzy would look like on stage right now yeah, that'd be interesting, but you can.

Speaker 3:

You can always holograph it.

Speaker 3:

If it gets bad, you can always holograph it true uh kev, we talked about something, um, last week that touched a nerve. What was it? Uh, we talked and it wasn't us, you know, and this got huge uh uh response on our tiktok too. Um, and this was not our saying, we're just the messenger, what you know job interviewers have said about recent college graduates and some of the shocking things that recent college graduates have done and said in job interviews. And I got specifically a lady DM me. Her name's Connie and it was involving the little factoid that parents actually go on the job interview on occasion in the modern era.

Speaker 2:

They're actually there with their recent college graduate. Yeah, the percentage was almost 20%.

Speaker 3:

one in five, yeah one in five of job interviews have experienced this, where the applicant wants their parent to come in during the job interview, and it's shocking. That's an immediate red flag. You're done.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, oh, totally. So what was your DM?

Speaker 3:

know, not only did I go out, uh go with my daughter on her on two of her inner job interviews, uh, after college, uh, she says she even texts the guys that her daughter is dating for her. What, yeah, like like when with a you know she's texting back and forth with guys she's interested in. She hands the phone to her mom and her mom constructs the texts for her.

Speaker 2:

Oh, constance, come on yeah.

Speaker 3:

I was shocked and and and. Then, you know, I fired back, and you know most of what I do is tongue in cheek. Of course I fired back. Wow, you're a horrible enabler. I mean, that is just terrible. You got to cut the cord. Ma'am, cut the cord. She fires back to me. She says she remembers, quote unquote, Tim Tuttle saying on the air that Tim Tuttle used to have notes for his phone conversations with girls when he was a teenager.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, but that's still Tim Tuttle being Tim Tuttle.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I wrote my own material.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and he was the one that was going to sink or swim with his own material. He didn't have anybody else do it for him.

Speaker 3:

Exactly. That's terrible. I mean, it was awful. Plus, just to finish it with her, I fired back off to her. I was like I don't know what's more scary about you the fact that you text your daughter's boyfriends and dates for her, or you remember something that I said verbatim back in 2012, or whatever it was.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, oh, wow, yeah, but yeah, didn't you. Did you do that when you talk to girls?

Speaker 3:

on the phone over whatever it was. Yeah, oh, wow, yeah, but yeah, didn't you. Did you do that when you talked to girls on the phone?

Speaker 2:

Tim, I never talked to girls on the phone.

Speaker 3:

Oh, you never called girls.

Speaker 2:

Oh, no, no, no, no, no. I remember doing it one time and I God, I, I swear I was set up. There was this girl that I really really liked. Okay, her name was Janelle Barra. Her dad the family is well-known in St Louis because he's one of the largest contractors in the city. Okay, and every six the 16th birthday of both girls, they each got brand new Corvettes.

Speaker 2:

Okay, their house, overlooked in Mississippi river, it was just absolutely stunning. And she both Janelle and Janine were super pretty, and so I wanted to talk to Janelle. I couldn't talk to her at school, but my good buddy, steve Cook, could, and so I called Cookie and I'm like hey, Cookie, can you call Janelle and ask her if it's okay if I call her? He's like yeah, sure, 15 seconds later Cook's on the phone with me going yeah, dude, she said she's totally open to talk to you, so he gives me the number. I call her. No, he didn't call her. I guarantee he didn't call her because she's like uh, this is. I'm like yeah, kevin klein. Oh, yeah, you're the baseball player. Yeah, okay, good talking to you hit those balls.

Speaker 3:

Well, exactly, go team. That's so funny. Yeah, that is weird, though, that that her father bought her and her sister corvette. There's no better way to say I don't give a fuck about your kid than to give them a corvette when they're 16 years old.

Speaker 4:

Yeah, that's stupid.

Speaker 3:

Why? Because man, that's way too much vehicle. You're basically saying I hope you die, oh shit.

Speaker 2:

No, that was his favorite car. I think he had 27 of them in his garage.

Speaker 3:

So what man? That's dangerous. You don't give a. I remember when Jonas you know he's like cause I bought him his first car I bought Audrey is for her first car and Jonas his first car and he's like showing me all these muscle cars that he wants. Dodge challenger, I'm like I can't buy a 16 year old that. You're my son, I love you. You'll wrap that around the tree man, go through the windshield. Then I'm the guy that bought you something that put you through the windshield yeah, yeah, and he ended up actually having a wreck I was gonna say

Speaker 2:

two years later I was gonna say yeah no, no, you don't get your kid a high-powered vehicle well, my thought about it was okay, they're 16 and they're getting the corvette of that year that they turned 16, where did they go from there? You know true, do you got to buy him a Lamborghini when they turned 21? I mean, they got the cake to do it, but still.

Speaker 3:

Kevin. To me, the big issue, though, is just too much car. I mean, giving somebody with no driving experience whatsoever a Corvette is the same thing as you're at the Indy 500. You're on turn one, sitting in your seats, having a great time. Suddenly, um, you know, one of the drivers let's call it joseph newgarden stops his vehicle, just stops it right there and comes over to you and says hey, uh, sir, you the big nose and you're like me, you're like. He's like yeah, do you have a driver's license? Yeah, I do. I want you to finish the race. Come here, get in the car, finish the race for me. That's exactly what that is. You're gonna put that thing into a fucking wall and gordon smiley, that shit oh, next turn probably there won't be that turn, it seems to me.

Speaker 3:

I went straight in, but but no incline. It wouldn't be at 235 miles an hour, it'd be like 30 it'd be 2.3 miles an hour oh, sorry, I scratched your car going into the wall, am I right, though, man? I mean uh, you know, uh, um, she kind of was a little scary.

Speaker 2:

That's a little scary to me, man yeah, but that that's the thing you get. I think with enablers, they're the last one to see it, and then when somebody points it out to them, they get very, very defensive.

Speaker 3:

Exactly, yeah, they can't, you can't take it back.

Speaker 3:

You know what's done is done right but I, I kev, I, I remember that and you know we talked about it earlier. This is so funny to me. I would have notes. I'd have like, uh, you know, sometimes, uh, most of the time just bullet points of subjects I wanted to talk to a girl about. But you know, sometimes I would, you know, have like the pros, you, you know the narrative and I a couple of things. That one one I remember just completely running out of stuff and I think it was Kathy Odell, why she was hot. I mean she was, she was the girl who got the body first. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2:

Okay.

Speaker 3:

You know what I'm saying. I do know what you're saying you know, you know that that first girl in eighth grade who she doesn't look like she did in seventh grade.

Speaker 2:

She ain't like the rest of them. One of these things ain't like the other, and she had a crush on me.

Speaker 4:

She liked me Really.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, and I, I would you know. She said, okay, call me, gave me the number and stuff like that. And I was so nervous I was shaking, I was literally shaking. I think it was my first call that I ever called a girl is eighth grade and we get towards the end of it and I'm out of material, I'm done. I got nothing left on the piece of paper, kev. And she's like, oh, I like talking to you. You know she can hear that I'm trying to wrap it up. And she's like, well, let's talk some more. And I'm like, oh my God, no, I don't have anything. I mean, yeah, I mean, the only reason that you kind of like me now is because that shit was completely prepared, yeah, and, and it was so awkward after that. And finally I just told her. I said I really don't have anything more to talk to you about. Let me think of some stuff, and if I can think of some stuff tonight, I'll call you back nice and did you think of some things?

Speaker 2:

yes, of course you did and her.

Speaker 3:

Her dad answered the phone, so I hung up, great. But we talked. The next issue my first kiss, really my first french kiss. Wow, kathy odell. I had First French kiss. Wow, kathy O'Dell.

Speaker 2:

I had to ask a classmate how to do that. Yeah, that didn't get around the school.

Speaker 3:

Wait, but you're from Missouri.

Speaker 4:

Didn't you have your?

Speaker 2:

sister Shots fired Seven years younger than me. See, you thought about it, no, I'm just thinking about it now. 'm like what's that?

Speaker 3:

no, I'm not gonna do that. No, you were quick with that man.

Speaker 2:

You thought about it yeah, I know the girl that was interested in me, debbie landreth. Uh, guys were asking me if I kissed her, and I'm like no, they're like you didn't make out with her. I'm like no, I'm like I don't even know how. So there was this girl and she was in. I was was in seventh grade and Sharon Morgan was in eighth grade. We had a class together and the word on the street was that Sharon Morgan kind of got around and so I asked her. I'm like hey, um, I'm not asking you to show me, I'm just asking you to kind of like to tell me how do you make out with somebody? She's like you've never made out with anybody. I'm like no, dude, the very next day that was all over school.

Speaker 3:

Oh man. What year? What year?

Speaker 2:

I was in seventh grade, so 84, 85. No, I'm sorry, 81, 82. Yeah, wow, yeah.

Speaker 3:

Okay, hey, kev, I just remembered something in regards to my notes, something my sister did. She saw my notes and she wrote something in there and she damn her, she had the same writing as me, like like like sandwiched in there it was. And I remember talking to Kathy O'Dell and and and um, you know, we had basketball practice, you know, and I talked to her right after basketball practice, eighth grade and you know, by eighth grade we all have to shower and everything like that after class. And this is what I almost said to kathy odell, because my sister wrote it on my notes. I was in the shower today and something really weird and I stopped because I just realized I didn't write that Tina had wrote.

Speaker 2:

Thanks, Tina.

Speaker 3:

I was in the shower today and I saw my teammates naked and I got a boner, she wrote that shit in there.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, would not have gone over.

Speaker 3:

Well, buddy and I stopped and there was just dead silence and and kathy odell's on the other side, go. What happened in the shower? And kev, I'm serious, it was the longest, craziest pause and I actually did the phone away. Tim come here, you know, imitated my mom calling me nice and I said oh, hold on, hold, kathy, hold on, my mom's calling me, I gotta go up.

Speaker 3:

Just hold on one second, you know you put the phone down yeah and then I just like started like pretending I was talking, to my mom walking up and say, okay, mom coming around, you know, and I was trying to think of what to do with the shower thing, yeah, and, and I couldn't think of anything and I was praying that by the time I got back to the phone she forgot about the shower thing.

Speaker 2:

And did she? No, no, like a dog with a bone.

Speaker 3:

No, and I just told her. I just I panicked, I just said I forgot what I was going to say. I'm sorry I forgot what I was going to say and I moved on to the next bullet point, of course. Oh my God, I can't believe Tina was awful to me, man.

Speaker 2:

For a long time.

Speaker 3:

Oh yeah, she was. I mean, she was brutal First off when she you know, she was much bigger than I was. She was a shot putter, so for a long time she was much bigger than I was.

Speaker 2:

I mean, she just she kicked my ass. I remember, uh, at the at the catamaran uh tour that we took, uh just off of key west on your wedding night, and all of the tuttles are there and all of your bride's family is there, and some sort of an argument happened between you and Tina and you looked straight at her and said, yeah, well, your politics are what killed dad. Holy shit, do you remember that?

Speaker 3:

Not really. I was pretty drunk.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah, you were, but yep, that happened.

Speaker 3:

Uh-huh, yeah, yeah, yeah, you were, but yep, that happened. Uh-huh, yeah, yeah. I kept all of that as a residual of the physical and mental torture my older sister put on me. I mean, and it starts off with we had back-to-back birthdays.

Speaker 2:

Okay.

Speaker 3:

Hers is the day before mine, and what she wanted for every birthday was I don't want a gift. My gift that you can give me is to make sure Timmy doesn't get anything tomorrow for his birthday. Oh God, Is that fucked up or what.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that is, that is yeah, but you guys are good now right.

Speaker 3:

Oh no, Tina's good. Tina and I are great. Now we're fine.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

Age mellows. You know, yeah, age mellows, and you know she's she's done um, she's done some uh work recently on on, you know, checking our um ancestry and you know that on the title side we're. So there's it goes. I'm 14th generation american. You know, we go back to the beginning. We go back to the beginning. We go back to the Mayflower, yeah, yeah, and some of the connections are insane and remarkable.

Speaker 2:

Aaron Burr. Yeah, aaron Burr, that's a big name in American history.

Speaker 3:

Aaron Burr. As she found out, we're descendants of yeah, and that also puts me on the same path as Bill Burr. Him and I are distant cousins, but it still doesn't excuse what she did to me in 1979, when I was a really young kid.

Speaker 2:

Do I know this?

Speaker 3:

Do you know the Thurman Munson story?

Speaker 2:

Yes, yeah. Go ahead and share it, though, because there's a lot of people that don't.

Speaker 3:

Okay, 1979, thurman Munson, catcher for the New York Yankees.

Speaker 2:

Probably the best catcher in Major League Baseball at the time.

Speaker 3:

Yes, he was, he was all-star and just he was the guy and we had great seats right behind home plate and there's a pop-up I think it was Sixto Lascano had a pop-up and Thurman pulls his mask off, comes right over here by me at where home plate is, catches the foul ball and I say I yell out at the top of my you know prepubescent lungs you stink Thurman Munson.

Speaker 3:

And he looked at me because I was so close to him and you know it stuck out because the crowd was silent and he looked, looked. He looks at me and gives me like a weird stare and then just puts his mask on and goes about his business. Two weeks later, thurman munson killed in his plane crash. Do you remember that, kev? Totally remember that he was a pilot and I think it was in ohio or something like that killed in his own plane, in a plane crash. Yeah.

Speaker 3:

And I remember my sister, cause you know we were telling the story at the house. She wasn't at the game, but she, you know, she heard the story about Thurman months and give me giving me the glare after I said he stinks, she goes. She, you know, she pulls me to the side and goes Timmy, you know what this means. Right, and I was like, yeah, I didn't want him to die. I don't like the Yankees, I hate the Yankees, but I didn't want him to die. She goes. Oh, it's much worse than that. I was like what are?

Speaker 3:

you talking about. She goes, oh, you didn't know. When somebody dies, their spirit floats throughout the world for three days. They get three days to haunt and bring vengeance upon anybody that has chumped them or dissed them or done them wrong. And I was like what? And she goes, yeah, and she goes well. And I was like what? And she goes, yeah, and she goes well. You know, since he's Thurman Munson, he's a beloved ball player. There's probably not too many people that he would float around and mess with. And I'm like what are you talking about? So what are we doing? She goes. But he probably remembers, just two weeks ago, that little boy in Milwaukee who said he stinks. Yeah, gav, I slept under my bed for three nights oh yeah I slept under my bed.

Speaker 3:

I remember I put uh fake pillows in, so thurman munson ghost would maybe think that it's me and just do his stuff and then get out of there. But I was under the bed man. I was like whoa dude, this is, yeah, tina, diabolical, is that? I mean, who thinks of that?

Speaker 2:

shit, that's creative for one, but you haven't who thinks of that shit, I could just see you looking over your shoulder, all over the place oh, it was terrible, kev.

Speaker 3:

I didn't want night time to come for three nights yeah and then you're marketed off the calendar.

Speaker 2:

I gotta just survive one more night one more night.

Speaker 3:

One more night, one more night. I'm surprised she didn't do something to fuck with me at night that's what I'm surprised, very surprising yeah but knowing tina, she just forgot. She said it, got a good laugh and walked away because she saw that she scared me yeah, she didn't know how bad she scared you oh yeah, she had no idea.

Speaker 2:

I slept under my bed for three nights we were, uh, we were predicating this whole conversation on. Uh, the conversation you had with uh, with connie, connie, um, I also got a dm? Uh in our buzz uh sprout feed. It was a fan mail about uh, kids taking their parents to to their job interviews this person, and they didn't leave a name. It was a fan mail about kids taking their parents to their job interviews this person, and they didn't leave a name. It was just a text message from a phone number. They worked in the oil and gas industry in Houston for 30 years. They said, as oil and gases want to do, there's a lot of layoffs from time to time. She said had to lay off a 20 something year old person who, in the middle of the laying off, called their mom and said mom, I'm getting laid off, can you talk to the employer for me and save my job? To which she hands over the phone to the employer who is releasing her, and the mom starts pleading a case.

Speaker 3:

The employer hung up oh my god, that's unbelievable man, isn't it? That's unbelievable. I mean that that that right there is the biggest red flag. You gotta fight your own battles. You would have had, you may have had, I mean, who knows, you may not have had any shot at all, but you have a much better shot if you plead the case yourself yeah you don't have your mom do it, that's an automatic.

Speaker 2:

Well, now I know I've made the right decision uh-huh, yeah, well, and then the mom actually taking you know. Okay, I'll talk to him why you're not gonna anything.

Speaker 3:

You're hurting your kid Exactly, I know, I know. But you know, sometimes, kev, that's an innate parental thing, like when my kids get chumped or get slighted, I'm just like, hey, what's the email? Yeah. What's their email and they're like dad, dad, you know, so they've had to call me off of it sometimes.

Speaker 2:

No, I get it. I spoke with a guy named Evan Jarschauer who is an interventionist and I said you know we're talking about enablers. And he says don't call them enablers. He says they're doing it from position of love. He said that's the only way they know how to show support to their addicted son or daughter. They know they're doing wrong, but it's their way of trying to help through love.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, and let me give you a psychological component to it also. Kev is when your kids reach adulthood. They really don't need you anymore as much, so it's neat to feel needed again. It's like okay, they need me still. Yeah, I can understand that, and so you can continue that little buzz that you get, that little high you get from helping your kid out.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, oh no, I totally understand that. I can totally see that. I can totally see that, so, like when Audrey or Jonas will come to you for career advice or relationship advice that you feel important again, yeah, exactly yeah yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, exactly so, because you know they go from, they literally can't survive one day without you. I haven't talked to dad in four or five days.

Speaker 2:

You know what I'm saying I totally do, yeah, and as a parent.

Speaker 3:

You're just like oh. And then you see on your social media feed.

Speaker 2:

You know six-year-old Jonas and blah, blah, blah and you're like oh the next day he's 21 year old, jonas, and he's giving presentations out in San Francisco to Silicon Valley. They grow up fast, don't they?

Speaker 3:

I know, man, that was quick, wasn't it? I mean, that's got to freak you out, you know, because I get to see the more play by play. But that's got to freak you out too, because you remember them both when they're just babies.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah, I wonder where the time goes. Honest to God, I wonder where the time goes.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I mean, like you see a post of Jonas, you know doing that Silicon Valley, or you know Audrey's doing an ESPN color analyzation for a volleyball match or something like that. You're going to be like what?

Speaker 2:

It's that Kenny Chesney song Don't blink. Exactly it is. If you're not familiar with the Kenny Chesney song don't blink, Listen to it. It's 1000% true, exactly.

Speaker 3:

Uh, kev, I I gotta tell you now.

Speaker 2:

You know I'm hesitant to go here because I don't have to if you don't want to, um are you?

Speaker 3:

are you okay?

Speaker 2:

right now. Yeah, uh, okay, I've been kind of looking forward to this, um, but okay, yeah, I'm gonna. After this, I'm gonna put a memorial together, uh, for my dog that we had to put down this past weekend.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, the mayor. A lot of you remember the mayor Pinto, his Pomeranian and the mayor of Sconeville was a hilarious video series. This is Channels Television's breaking news.

Speaker 2:

Is there a new green initiative in Sconeville? Is there a new green initiative in Sconeville? During his lunch break today, the mayor of Sconeville was excited to get some fresh air and check out the newly landscaped grounds of City Hall. Here you can see the mayor surveying the new mulch and lush greenery. However, things took an unexpected and unprecedented turn. While inspecting the precise edging of the thick green verger, noticing a spot that looked undernourished, the typically demanding mayor decided to water it himself instead of ordering the grounds crew to redo it. Is the mayor turning over a new leaf? When news of the mayor of Sconeville happens, we'll bring it to you first at Breaking News. We now take you back to your original program.

Speaker 3:

A lot of people loved it. So you know unexpected tragedy in the Klein household this past weekend. And, kevin, you know I'm here for you anytime you need me, buddy.

Speaker 2:

I know. Thank you so much, man.

Speaker 3:

So just call me and I'll hand the phone to a neighbor. I'll get Connie on the phone and she can help you, yeah, Since Connie knows it all, I'm just kidding she, she loves the podcast Kev. She listens to it, I mean immediately, as soon as we uh, every Wednesday, every Wednesday it's like a new episode. Connie downloads it and, you know, always messages me some stuff. So you know she's one of our peeps, so I'm just playing with her.

Speaker 2:

She knows that, though, Connie look to sum up what we do we're jerks, but we're jerks with a heart.

Speaker 3:

We're your jerks, but we're jerks with a heart. We're your jerks.

Speaker 2:

We are your jerks, connie, that's so funny.

Speaker 3:

Hey, kev, I got called out this morning. Somebody actually messaged me and said hey, you know, I noticed that you pay a lot of reverence to your father on his birthday and on Father's Day, which I do, you know. I always try to get a post or a story up there about my dad and he and they said well, I don't, I don't see the same kind of thing for your mom on mother's day or her birthday.

Speaker 2:

Okay.

Speaker 3:

So they're like calling me out. I you know. I let me just say this okay, I had a good upbringing with my dad. My mom and I we kind of butt heads, I mean it was just like that. You know, right Now we're actually cool. Now I have great phone conversations with her. As a matter of fact, I'll have another one this week.

Speaker 3:

She's turning 88 on Sunday 88 years old dotty tuttle, wow, uh, but she's at. We're actually cool now. Everything's cool. I mean I guess she lost a little bit of her ferociousness as you start moving up in your 80s. Yeah, so I mean we cool. And let me just say this too is and most people don't know this. Obviously my siblings will know it and the people who remember from when I was a kid, I was actually a mama's boy. Growing up, I, you know clear mama's boy. I would get sad, you know she's late, picking me up and everything like that. So you know I was and anybody will tell you that. Yeah, timmy's a mama's boy until I realized my mama didn't love me.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I got friend zoned by my mom wow, see that I I would have thought that you were a mama's boy, because there was not the affection that you were getting. You weren't getting the affection from her that you were from your dad, and so you're trying to prove yourself to her and that's why you were a mama's boy. But maybe not that, not, maybe not the.

Speaker 3:

No, I mean, I have to admit I was a tough child, I was a smart ass.

Speaker 3:

I mean, yeah, well, yeah, I was, I was, I was lip, I was the king of the lip. And you know, my mom just it was. It was too much for her, yeah, you know, whereas my dad would laugh, you know, cause he's, he saw comedy. Right, my mom took it all personal. And I, you know, I, so I'm a mama's boy, and I realized I was no longer a mama's boy. I shouldn't be a mama's boy. I remember in high school, the track and field coach approached me, you know, one time at school and said Tim, you're becoming so athletic now. You know, I see you jumping in basketball, I see your speed and everything like that. You know, I I think you should do track and field. And I was. I was like, oh, that's, that's an honor. You know, I don't know where I'd have the time, cause I was three sport athlete at the time, but I guess a lot of people can, you know, wedge in track and field during baseball season.

Speaker 2:

Okay.

Speaker 3:

So I went home to mom and I said I told her and I was, you know, I was like she's gonna love this. You know, timmy's an athlete and everything like that. And I was like you know, mom, the track and field coach wants me to what do you? What uh event? What event do you think I should do, mom? And she said javelin catcher, like immediately and at that point I thought okay, this, uh, this woman ain't as down with me as I thought she was yeah, aren't too many javelin catchers out there?

Speaker 3:

I was like no, I was like mom, you mean javelin thrower. You know cause I had a pipe. I had a pipe and I could. You know cause I won the football toss and you know field day and and all that stuff she goes. No, I mean, you know a lot of people are doing that already. Somebody has got to be down there and return the javelin.

Speaker 2:

Yeah that doing that. Already somebody's got to be down there to return the chaplains.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, that's the same laugh. That's the same laugh tina had, I bet. Do it, tim, do it. You should do it, hey, kev. I um, um I think it was thursday I'm on a, I'm on a date with a lovely lady and, um, we're at sugarland town center, a restaurant there okay, love that place yeah, beautiful place, but we were sitting next to a table with, uh, you know, a couple young kids, um, a couple young boys.

Speaker 3:

one of them looked about it'd be about five years old, the other one's about eight years old or so. Ok. And a group of Muslim women walk by the window and the little one says to his. His older brother says are those ninjas, which is the exact chuckle that people around you know? He said it loud. The older brother said no, they're probably just ugly.

Speaker 2:

Oh, my God.

Speaker 3:

And I think Kevin, all honesty, I thought it was just kids being kids. Until I looked over on the kids menu scribble with crayon on the older one. He's drawing Muhammad on his little menu there.

Speaker 2:

They're advanced in Sugar.

Speaker 3:

Land, I'm just kidding, he didn't do that, but the first part was right. It was like a comedy act. You know the timing that they had and everything everybody around was cracking up. It was just funny.

Speaker 3:

Were the parents saying the parents, kev, the two kids were way off on the end of the table, uh-huh, and the two parents were talking to two other parents who had stopped by, you know, to say hi, so they didn't know. I mean that was cool and I almost almost like interjected too, like to let them know how hilarious that was. Hilarious that was. I'm like, hey, man, you were busy but your kids just did a comedy act. It was hilarious, but I decided not to. You know, the moment, the moment had passed.

Speaker 2:

That is funny though.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, just are they ninjas, no, they're just ugly. Uh, kids, they don't mean anything, but you know, if you think about it in today's hypersensitive world, you know that could get a place bombed or something right oh yeah, well, they would.

Speaker 2:

Uh, I mean, yeah, they're five and eight years old, but wow, the repercussions of that yeah, it was, it was.

Speaker 3:

It was like the time I, I, I, um, I, when I drive a Dallas and Timmy home, we always do a trivia contest and you know I'm asking them trivia questions. It's kind of cute. It's kind of cute setup. It's like, okay, you have to get it right, if you don't, you put it on your brother and he has to get it right, and if you miss two in a row between you, uh, you have to get out and walk the rest of the way home, which of course, I'll never do. But they, they get a, they get a kick out of it, cause then they'll pressures on. Yeah.

Speaker 3:

And uh, and I, I asked Timmy. I said, uh, timmy, you know cause? I'm just thinking of questions popping in my head. I'm like what is the mascot of the atlanta major league baseball team? And he goes. I think I know this. Can you, can you give me a hint? And I thought about, I was like it rhymes with graves. Rhymes with graves, because we just passed a cemetery. So it just popped out Okay, he goes, atlanta slaves, no, no. And suddenly Dallas. You know, dallas is a teenager now. He is just rolling, just, I know Dallas is a teenager now. He is just rolling, just. I mean, he is, I, you.

Speaker 3:

It's hard to make Dallas really laugh out loud, but he just thought that was the funniest shit. So what does little brother do? You know, when 13 year old brother is laughing, he keeps saying it. Of course I had to have the talk with him, did you? I was like, son, this is what we call tuttle talk. Okay, this is what we, we, we sometimes have conversations among us, goofing around, having fun, or everything I got that cannot go out the door. It's just between us. This is one of those situations. You can't be running around thinking it's funny, saying atlanta slaves, no, but he just he doesn't know of course he doesn't?

Speaker 3:

he just says something innocently. First thing that pops into his head that rhymes with graves and his brother laughs and he's like oh my gosh, that this is.

Speaker 2:

This is great yeah, yep, now he's got his tight five.

Speaker 3:

He'll be up at the improv yeah, he's gonna hear about the uh, the uh, the ninja and ugly he's gonna put, he's gonna work that in. Yeah, yeah, I totally have an act now. It's really awesome. It's only one minute and 20 seconds, but it kills.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's funny.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, all right, kev, are you ready? Let's do a top three, shall we. Just when you thought they couldn't count any higher. It's Tuttle and Klein's top three Kev top three things most people love, but you find overrated.

Speaker 2:

First thing that popped into my mind was burger king, burger king.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I just think you don't like the char. You don't like the char broiled.

Speaker 2:

No, I just think it's bland.

Speaker 3:

It's just bland food yeah, I, yeah, if I used to. Um, you know I don't eat fast food anymore, really I just don't. But I I actually like burger king, the charbroiled and the chicken sandwich, but you know that's like decades ago. Right, yeah, but do you actually think most people like it?

Speaker 2:

I mean there's always lines at the local Burger King that we got here, oh, okay, yeah, so it's a Missouri thing. It could very well be, I mean, but the competition is right next door at McDonald's, Then across the street you got Freddy's hamburgers and then you got Whataburger. So they are fighting an uphill battle.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, yeah, because it may be a Missouri thing. Kev you pass by a Burger King in Houston and you would swear it's just a money laundering operation.

Speaker 2:

Right yeah, because it's just a money laundering operation. Right yeah, because it's a.

Speaker 3:

Whataburger. There Exactly, it's like there is nothing going on there. The mob is using that or some like cartel is using that to launder money.

Speaker 2:

The second thing might surprise you here, timmy T, knowing that I played for 22 years but baseball.

Speaker 3:

Do you think baseball is overrated?

Speaker 2:

I do. It's such a boring game. I know they're trying to speed it up and everything, but it's just a boring game.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, but you know it's an event, though it's an event. You know, it's an experience. Yeah yeah, it's boring as shit.

Speaker 2:

If, if, if it's a world series game, I there's. There's atmosphere that takes away from the downtime, but a regular season game, yeah.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, yeah, and that's true too, because you know, when I watched game six Astros, when we clinched the world championship in 2022,. I was there, I mean, and it was ridiculously overpriced tickets, but it was worth every single penny yeah.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, my wife, when we went to the championship series and we went to a World Series game, that was the first baseball game she'd ever been to. She loved it, thought it was the greatest.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's just something about that, you know, because that's that when you talk about a World Series, particularly clinching, that's lore that goes down in history. I will never forget the noise when Alvarez busted that home run. I'll never forget it. I have never heard that noise in my life.

Speaker 2:

It's amazing.

Speaker 3:

Of just such a drown out, everybody in the stadium just screaming at the top of their lungs at the same time, you know, just drowning everything out. Your eardrums are pushing the limits and you don't care, cause it's the coolest thing ever and you could feel the electricity. And people like you would never expect standing next to each other in the stands to be like buds or whatever, hugging each other. You know, you got you got. You got the rabbi and the sheik hugging each other over there. I'll hit you tomorrow, but today, no problem, we are one, we are one.

Speaker 2:

Yes, I mean it's just, it's something that I I'll never, ever forget yeah, no, that that if there's an atmosphere, the game is tolerable, but no regular season game, that that I it's completely overrated. And then I think the other thing, uh, that that is that a lot of people like that completely overrated. I am going to say, and it's only because you got me watching the Office, steve Carell.

Speaker 3:

You don't like Steve Carell.

Speaker 2:

Nah.

Speaker 3:

Now hold on. Let's back up a little bit, because I told you that. You know, a couple of weeks ago I was in the rabbit hole of watching the Office.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah, we're on season two, episode 17 17 now and you don't like it I love the show. Don't like him. I've never. I've never liked him, not in anything he's ever done. Really, I don't know what it is.

Speaker 3:

Okay, I don't know what it is man he kev for for somebody to play a role where it is so cringy and so uncomfortable. I mean, that's what he did with this role as michael scott. Right, come on, come on, you don't have to worry.

Speaker 2:

I'm not, I'm not, I'm not worried to hr you know, the only thing I am worried about is getting a boner.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I mean, there are times where I didn't want to watch because I was like, oh my God, he's actually saying this in a meeting or something. You know what.

Speaker 2:

I'm saying yeah, no, I know what you're saying Exactly, this will probably put it into perspective for you is because the character that I adore on that show is is John Krasinski, halpert, jim Halpert, yeah, jim, you like Jim, everybody likes Jim. Yeah, because everything is so positive with Jim. If I had Jim's attitude when I was in high school, I probably could have had a lot of girlfriends, because he's self-deprecating, he's so calm under pressure, he's so funny, and I just and he's the complete opposite of Michael Scott. So, but I haven't even liked Michael Scott. I haven't liked him in, uh, in a little miss sunshine. I didn't like him at despicable me. I've just never been a fan, I don't know Okay. What I am glad to read, though, is that everybody on that show loved him, adored him, made him cry on the last episode, uh, that they got some impromptu thing going. I mean, I love to read that kind of stuff. I just personally find him overrated.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, yeah, I. I. I mean that that that show would never have been that show without him, though.

Speaker 2:

Very true.

Speaker 3:

You needed that character. Oh, absolutely. And, Kev, I'm surprised you don't like Dwight Schrute. That is just hilarious.

Speaker 2:

I do, I like him yeah.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, yeah, but to me, like the sleeper one, the guy that he's hardly ever on, but when he is it's always a bang. Creed is awesome, you know on, but when he is it's always a bang. Uh, creed is awesome, you know. That's his real name in real life. Yeah, he was in a band in the 60s. Man, he was a rocker, really yeah, he was big time. That's his real name, creed brett, and look it up. I mean he was, he was a big time guy, you know in in the 60s and you know big time with the free love and everything like that.

Speaker 3:

I mean he would just yeah nice he would go, yeah, nice, he would go down into the crowd three, four women at once right there Wow. Yeah, creed, creed, but he's just hilarious, like what he'll do with just a morsel part.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, you know I like Creed when he was going to get fired and he talked him out of firing him and firing Devin.

Speaker 3:

Let's fight this. Make the call. Let's make the call. Let's call her. You should fire Devin.

Speaker 2:

Yeah exactly.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, that was good. I'm glad you like the show man. It's a really good show. I mean, I know you're a fan of the mockumentaries.

Speaker 2:

Oh, I love that aspect yeah.

Speaker 3:

But yeah, yeah, that's, uh, that that's a great show, all right.

Speaker 2:

Trisha's favorite is is rain, wilson. Trisha's favorite is dwight dwight.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, boy, you can I mean that that guy right there just nails that park yes, he does.

Speaker 2:

I think everybody that they have in there is perfect for their role.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, Did you ever watch? Did you watch any of the bloopers?

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah.

Speaker 3:

Do you see what I'm talking? It's so surprising to see, you know, jim and Dwight, uh Kaczynski and and Rainn Wilson, they're, they love their buds. Yeah, they are, they're just like best buds. But you know, on that show it's like, and you know on that show it's like, and you know, here's the funny thing too, is that?

Speaker 2:

uh, my first experience with BJ Novak was when he was Yudovich in in glorious bastards. Yes, so to see him in a comedy, just it, surprised the hell out of me. But he's one of the story editors, I mean, he's one of like the writers of it dude, he writes him and Mindy Kaling him, and uh and Kelly. Yeah.

Speaker 3:

They, they, they, they wrote most of that they're best friends in in real life. They should be. Yeah, they. Those two at a very young age got together and created a pop culture phenomenon but it's based on Ricky Gervais in England, right?

Speaker 2:

yes, have you ever watched any of that?

Speaker 3:

not as good, but some some english humor is just a little too dry got it yeah like, like like 50 of the monty python stuff I love, the other 50 is like I don't get it yeah, you know, not for me I get it yeah, sure yeah and I'm actually have british ancestry, so it should be in in there in the dna DNA. But I just can't, I just can't pull it out of there.

Speaker 2:

Yeah Well, so there's my three, there's my three.

Speaker 3:

Kev. These are things most people love, but you find overrated Soccer. Oh, really, don't get me wrong. I actually really tune in during the World Cup because of the event. I really get into that, but, man, you got to do something to spice that up. I'm the same boat that you are with baseball.

Speaker 2:

Okay.

Speaker 3:

I mean there's just got to be something, man. I mean, you know, a nil-nil tie to me is inexcusable.

Speaker 2:

They call soccer the beautiful game. If I put it into this kind of perspective, does it intrigue you in the slightest? I always use soccer as a metaphor for life. You know, soccer, you can go forward. When something stalls, you go back and regroup. Same thing in life. It's also an analogy of war. War, you are trying to take the other person's part of the field and score a goal.

Speaker 3:

Uh, so if you're looking for offense and defense, it's, it's clash of the titans yeah, kev, I can get that exact same phenomenon with regular fucking football with good scoring and shit and nice hits.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, oh, the other thing too is I. I, I don't care if there's no goals scored, if there's a great save. I would rather see a great save than a great goal. Really, oh God, yeah, I was a goalie.

Speaker 3:

Don't get me wrong. I I like you know I I watch Pele highlights and Messi and all the big highlights are phenomenal. What they can do with a ball is ridiculous.

Speaker 2:

Here's something that might surprise you. I would much prefer to watch the women's game than the men's game, and I'll tell you why. The women don't flop, they don't fall, they don't try. Oh, I fucking hate that, and I've talked to I've talked to pro soccer players, and they too hate that aspect of the game.

Speaker 3:

I hate flopping. I hate that. And it's made its way into basketball too. Oh, yes, it has. And and you know I I can't and I'll. I'll be honest with you I cannot stand LeBron James. I just I can't stand him. And a lot of people like, well, it's because it's because of the politics, tim, he's too outspoken. I don't give a shit about any of that. I mean freedom of speech. Say what you want. I can't stand his fucking flopping. There is no way that little brush moved a six foot nine inch, 270 pound, muscle bound man like that. Stop being a pussy, lebron.

Speaker 2:

I hate that I can't, I can't stand it. That's the only aspect of the men's game I hate jordan never did that.

Speaker 3:

Jordan never. He took the hit yeah and boy they hit him. They did, man. I mean the the detroit pistons in the early 90s were trying to fucking kill him. Yeah, like trying to to paralyze him when he went in. Yep.

Speaker 3:

And he's just like all right, and then he works out in the off season, he comes back, the next member, he came back that next year oh, dude, yeah, the year they won the first one, the champion, their first championship 1990, 91, because he kicked in 89-90 by the Detroit Pistons. They just beat him up, they beat the shit out of him and he just said uh-uh. You know, I mean he went on the program, he looked different.

Speaker 2:

He looked different, played different. I mean, he was so strong and quicker, if you can believe it.

Speaker 3:

God, I hated Bill Lambert. I hated him. Yeah, he was just dirty.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, what did they call them? The bad boys, bad boys, the bad boys, yeah.

Speaker 3:

I could not stand it because you know I'm a Jordan fan. I cheered for the Bulls, right. But yeah, I can have, soccer is something. I think it's overrated. I know most people love it. Sushi, oh, okay, Okay, most people love sushi. I think it's overrated. I mean, I'll eat it. I didn't start eating it until my last ex Taryn got me into it, okay, and I can eat it, it's okay, but man, it is overrated. It's all right, but it's not. Hey, let's be so addicted to sushi that we literally fish the oceans to nothing.

Speaker 2:

You know, did you have a favorite piece um california roll? Did you like the maguro, which is, uh, the the high quality tuna? You like the salmon?

Speaker 3:

she always ordered for me okay she did all the ordering and I would just eat it. I would dip it in the the wasabi and teriyaki sauce or whatever the hell it was.

Speaker 2:

The soy sauce yeah.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, the soy, and I'd make a good wasabi soy mix there on the sauce and I would dip it in there. Okay, kev, I wouldn't have any clue, but I just saw recently that our oceans are almost completely fished out because of people's addiction to sushi. Is that right? Yeah?

Speaker 2:

look it up. Oh, I will I can't.

Speaker 3:

You can't find tuna. You can't find tuna anymore, you can't oh my goodness, that's my favorite thing yeah, it's very hard to find okay. Well, I'll watch the prices of that skyrocket exactly uh, kev, my um third top three things people love, but you find overrated. Duane johnson, the rock, duane johnson, yeah, why? I mean I I like him, but it's just it's too much okay, overexposure he needs to say no to some things.

Speaker 3:

And kev I, I can't get over. I don't know if you remember this from a few years ago, the Super Bowl, where right before the kickoff he was doing that on the mic thing Do you remember that?

Speaker 2:

I do remember that.

Speaker 3:

I don't look at him the same anymore because that was so cringy, so awkward and so weird to me that I cannot look at him the same anymore. All right, faithful, it's about that time.

Speaker 1:

We all know about this storied franchise the rings, the legends, duane.

Speaker 3:

You got to say no to some shit man like, yeah, sure you're, you're, you're the rock and you get to be seen right then by a hundred million americans right before they kick off the super bowl.

Speaker 2:

But look at what you're doing yeah, already a hundred million people already know who you are. You don't have that exposure.

Speaker 3:

Exactly, we know, I mean that was just. I just think it's the point where it's just too much.

Speaker 2:

Well, and what I found weird about that? And you're talking about the pregame hype speech that he gave. Why do you need to hype the Super Bowl?

Speaker 3:

It's the biggest breaking game of the year. Exactly, game of the year. Exactly, we're already high, but yeah, anyway, those are mine um my top three kev.

Speaker 3:

Let's talk about rabbit holes. Yeah, people love when we talk about the rabbit holes they went down and a lot of people like when we tell them the rabbit hole we were down the last week they go down the same rabbit holes yeah, that's what sucks about this because, like you said, you went down the office rabbit hole and so we gave the office a try and now we watch four episodes a day.

Speaker 2:

So, we've now gone down the office rabbit hole. You'll say some other rabbit hole? I'll check it out. Damn it. Two hours have gone by.

Speaker 3:

I'm so sorry, man.

Speaker 2:

No, but that's what happens with this segment. You know it's something that, especially if you don't know about it, you go into, get hooked into it.

Speaker 3:

Oh, you get, you get intrigued by it, you know, yeah, because the other person's selling it. All right, what was your rabbit hole? Sell me cab. What did you have? The office?

Speaker 2:

No, that was two weeks ago. Um, yeah, this one is, uh, you don't want to hear about it, it's dog euthanasia. What, yeah? Why do you do this to yourself? Well, I wanted to. I wanted to find out if, if it was compassionate. I wanted to find out when it's right or wrong to make the decision. Um, I wanted to find out if the dog is on the other side waiting for me to hold him and pick him up and say I was just kidding, you know that kind of stuff. I did it more for me and my own mental state than I did. I mean, I know all about it because the doctor walks us through it and everything. Great doctor we have. By the way, the last two veterinarians that we've had euthanized our dogs have been great Barbara Wilhouse over at Lexington Animal Hospital in Sugar Land and then Dr Blackburn here in Springfield. But I just wanted to know if I made the right decision.

Speaker 3:

And what did you come up with?

Speaker 2:

That all signs pointed to that we made the right decision.

Speaker 3:

Quality of life man.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, Quality of life. So, but here's the thing, Tim. We went to bed on June 13th. All we were thinking about was tomorrow we get to celebrate the 18th birthday of snow drop the 6.55 million. We wake up and our dog can't walk and he can't eat.

Speaker 3:

And everything was fine the night before. Yeah, perfect, perfect. That happened to me in 2005 with Sammy.

Speaker 2:

That's what I mentioned to you in my text to you With Sammy, we just didn't see it coming.

Speaker 3:

The night before running around in the backyard jumping on me, jumping on Audrey they're playing, and everything like that. Next day out in the yard, lethargic, eating grass, and then just comes inside and right on the end of the bed, on the mattress of the master bedroom gone.

Speaker 2:

It was hard with her right. Yeah, yeah, our guy had a stroke.

Speaker 4:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Up until the 80s they didn't think dogs had strokes, and then they found out that yeah, they do, and so it was irreversible damage yeah, so okay, well, yeah, yeah, nice and upbeat klein the problem, see, the problem with kevin klein is this he can't help himself from being completely 100 honest. He can't no, that's true he can't.

Speaker 3:

If he was ever involved with some caper and the, the cops, like you know, just wanted to question him, you know, because you know they may have saw him on a security camera or something like that, or you know, just kevin would spill the beans on the whole fucking caper, right there he can't help himself.

Speaker 3:

I pride myself on uh on three things loyalty, trustworthiness and honesty yeah, but you know, on occasion and that would have been a great occasion when you know I come to you with our weekly feature of the rabbit hole instead of going there, I mean, you could have easily just lied to me and said, hey, yeah, I was into a cabbage patch. Kids of the 80s, you know best selections beanie babies or something. You could have done some shit like that sorry.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, you know, I was in a wonder. Twins marathon, zan and jana.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, thank you. Wonder twin power activate form of some jack stick who depresses everybody when they do the rabbit hole?

Speaker 2:

shape of an iceberg I love that shit.

Speaker 3:

You have my rabbit hole. Uh, this past week is and I never really watched them when they came out.

Speaker 2:

Um, I went on a mission impossible marathon okay, so the old Mission Impossible or the Tom Cruise?

Speaker 3:

No, the Tom Cruise ones. Okay, I went on them and I you know cause. I watched the last one, dead Reckoning, and I was like you know, I've never. You know, these are pretty good. You know, I kind of like them. There was a. There was a time I was really turned off by Tom Cruise.

Speaker 3:

I thought, the Scientology thing was a time I was really turned off by tom cruise. Uh-huh, I thought the scientology thing was a bit much. And then when he jumped up and down on the couch with oprah declaring his love for katie holmes, that was a little wacky right. And then I heard that, uh, he had approached jessica alba to give her the greatest role she ever had. His husband, his wife, I mean, she offered her, he offered her the role.

Speaker 2:

Wow.

Speaker 3:

There was just all kinds of internet rumors that he was lining up Hollywood starlets before Katie Holmes came along and they're saying Katie Holmes was just a hired gun. That's what there's. That's what some of the rumors were. Okay, but I was turned off from Tom Cruise and then, you know, I liked him in the Last Top Gun, the Top Gun 2. Yeah, it was a great movie, I loved it. So I started warming back up to Tom Cruise.

Speaker 2:

They've called Mission Impossible the best franchise, which I don't understand how they can do that, because I thought that was James Bond. But they have said Mission Impossible with Tom Cruise is the best franchise in Hollywood history.

Speaker 3:

Really.

Speaker 2:

Yes, they have.

Speaker 3:

I know they've done like $4.2 billion or something like that over seven films. That's pretty good. That's about $600 million a film. I did not know it eclipsed 007.

Speaker 2:

I don't know the figures, I'm just saying what the critics have called it.

Speaker 3:

Okay, see, I have an issue with it. After watching about three of them oh what Mission Impossible. Tom Cruise always wins though I'm starting to think that some of these missions, maybe even most of them, they're actually possible.

Speaker 2:

Mission somewhat impossible.

Speaker 3:

Mission on paper possible, but we're gonna make it possible, am I right? Yeah, very true, I mean, and now when you come up with a new? But you're just fucking lying to the audience hey, does he do all his stunts? He did, man, he kevin, I went down that rabbit hole too. Uh-huh, he has done more dangerous stunts like the lead role, the actual actor, than anybody in history, including mcqueen. Steve mcqueen used to do his own jackie chan used to do his too.

Speaker 3:

Jackie chan did his. What tom cruise is doing is off the charts. You know the one where you know he jumps off the bike helicopter, the one where he's hanging on the cliff in Mission Impossible 2. I mean, that's him. I've got to give him credit for that then yeah, I don't know why he does that, though I don't know why.

Speaker 2:

Authenticity.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, why authenticity? Yeah, well, they're going to need some of that because all of them are going to be out of work soon, because now it'll all be ai. Yeah, I mean seriously, kevin.

Speaker 2:

You read the latest on ai uh well, I've been reading a lot about ai, yeah and you know I was talking to jonas about it yesterday.

Speaker 3:

he he called for Father's Day yesterday and you can basically put any scenario, type it into AI and it'll make a movie for you now.

Speaker 2:

Oh, it'll make a movie.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, there's some tweaks that need to be made and you can't really do the longer stuff right now and the more intricate stuff, but they're getting there. Holy crap, yeah. So I you know there there will be. In 10 years there'll be no more actors. They're done.

Speaker 2:

Well, can AI emote? Can it, can it provide the emotion They'll get there?

Speaker 3:

Gee, see, the only thing that that that AI struggles with now but it'll eventually get there is the creativity component and particularly sense of humor. So you're still going to have to have writers writing those nuances, but once the writers pop it in, it's going to spit out video. There's your scene.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, no, trish does chat GPT for newsletters and stuff and it'll come back with an initial draft. She'll read it and she'll be like can you make this funnier? And then it'll come back and it might have some quips and stuff in there. But no, you're right, for the most part it ain't that funny.

Speaker 3:

No, no, but you know it will be eventually. Yeah. See, the thing is is is people that are programming AI right now are basically feeding it information to destroy their own job, livelihood, career killing it.

Speaker 2:

I have said that for 10 years with you. I said why are we so hell bent in creating our own demise?

Speaker 3:

Yeah, that's what we're doing. I mean, I you know because Jonas was talking to me about it. He said you know the AI. Now they're they're feeding you know lawyers are giving them information on how, down the road, kev, if you have to file for an LLC file, for divorce file, you don't need to hire a lawyer at all. You just have a, a I put your case together and you submit it. Yeah, and I'm like why would lawyers be feeding the AI all this information?

Speaker 2:

Because we're lazy now.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, you're going to be obsolete. Yep. And you know, basically, you know, jonas is in the middle of this because he's like this is his, you know, field.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, this is his realm. And he basically said you know, to survive this, you've got to learn to harness AI yourself. Uh-huh, to survive this, you've got to learn to harness AI yourself. You've got to be one of the people that are on top of the food chain developing ways to monetize AI. He said, otherwise, the majority of jobs will be gone. Ai will be able to do it all. And you know, even though we're not on the radio anymore, I asked him. I said well, you know, can it do right? And that's where he agreed that it doesn't have a sense of humor like humans do. It'll be hard for that, but they could do our voice, kev.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah, no, I've done that. Yeah, yeah, I've done that. You know, made a, made a character, an AI character, with my voice. Oh yeah, definitely, I've done it with Trump's voice. I've done it with Biden's voice. Yeah, it's weird. I mean that's scary. Live from the trailer park. It's the game show that can only be shown on cable. This is yes, no or Fuck With your host Kenny P.

Speaker 4:

Oh fuck, sit down, you bunch of bastards. Our contestants today are Joe and Don. Let's play the fucking game. I'm gonna ask you a fucking question, you're gonna give me your dumbass fucking answer and then I'm gonna tell you how fucking wrong you fucking are. Here's the fucking question. Will the Chiefs blow it out their ass this year?

Speaker 6:

She said chiefs, look folks, here's the deal. And I remember when I met Sitting Bull shortly after I was born. We met in Scranton, pennsylvania, real blue collar town. This is not hyperbole. Sitting Bull explained how he was fighting to keep the white man from pillaging the land of his people. I shared my efforts to keep China from stealing the jobs of our factory workers. Anyway, we had a common ground and we said not on our watch, man. What?

Speaker 5:

The chiefs. Frankly, I like the chiefs. Good team, very good team In fact. Andy Reid, mahomes, travis Swift. I bet on the chiefs. I really would, but I can't and it's sad. It's very sad to see what the Justice Department has done to my finances. They've taken most of my money, or one tenth of it, if you've seen my own records and believe them, and that's why I can't bet on the Chiefs. Frankly, I can't bet on anything except the Supreme Court giving me total immunity, and that will be a wonderful thing.

Speaker 4:

Fucking son of a bitch. And I tell people that I'm a dumbass. You two bastards fucking make me look fucking brilliant. No wonder the fucking country is going to hell in a fucking handbasket. There's a simple, fucking yes or no question. That's the name of the fucking game. So guess what I'm saying? This game's fucking over because you're all fucking nuts. And when the Chiefs blowing out their ass this year because we all know they fucking will, I'll say I fucking told you.

Speaker 2:

So that's it for this week. Join us again next week as we welcome two new contestants, Zuck and Bezos. Oh God, as they answer, the question is $500 million too much to spend on a boat? Fuck, yeah, it is. That's happening next time on yes, no or Fuck with Kenny P.

Speaker 3:

Basically, it can take a minute of anybody's voice and make that voice say anything at once.

Speaker 2:

Yeah Well, didn't they do that with, uh, uh, with the either Biden or Trump, where they were calling, just cold, calling strangers and saying yeah.

Speaker 3:

Yeah. So I mean I, you don't know anything is real or not, but I don't understand why we're in such a hurry to make ourselves obsolete, Right, I mean, you're playing right into the hands of evil people wanting humans wiped off the face of the earth.

Speaker 2:

And then what's going to happen when nobody's working anymore? What's going to happen to society? It's going to be the purge, isn't it?

Speaker 3:

And I think this is the plan is it'll collapse into a hey, we're going to give you a loaf of bread for your family a week collapse into a hey, we're going to give you a loaf of bread for your family a week. Ooh, great Thanks. And then it'll just be like, hey, we can't afford to have you all here, so come on in here and take your last shower. You know what I'm saying? Exactly, exactly. That's what it's going to be. It's going to be Gladiator.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, squid games, they'll do it for their own amusement.

Speaker 3:

Exactly, and that's, and we've created that. See, like even the people who are smart and like oh you know, I know how to program and code all this stuff. Dude AI is going to do all of the coding.

Speaker 2:

Well, how long ago did what was it that somebody said that that we will actually be more robot than we will be human? I read that a long time ago. Well, elon Musk has already implanted a device in somebody's head that thinks for them.

Speaker 3:

Exactly, yeah, and you know they'll eventually be and this is what they're working on. This is what the elites want. They'll eventually be and this is what they're working on. This is what the elites want is something where their soul and spirit and their brain can be like captured to continue forever. So they live forever in some kind of robotic embodiment.

Speaker 2:

Somebody said I think it was four or five years ago there was a doctor on record that said somebody on this planet living right now will live to be a thousand years old.

Speaker 3:

I Kev. I would venture to say that there are 600 or so people that are right now on this planet that will live. That will live forever. Wow, they will live forever in some way. Their bodies won't obviously, but but their spirit, their soul, their brain, their memories you know?

Speaker 2:

Oh, their original body probably won't, but they'll be able to regenerate something.

Speaker 3:

Exactly, and that's the end game. Yeah, the elite billionaires, you know, the ones who are older, I mean, you know people like you know, like Buffett and everything. Yeah, I'm sorry, you know it's not too,

Speaker 3:

early. Yeah, yeah'm sorry, you know it's not too early. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you were born a little too early. You know chase, from a JP Morgan chase who just passed away. David evil, motherfucker, he, he just died. He passed away a few years ago. I mean, I'm sure he was to come on man for this to stuff up. There's just, you know that you know some of the older elites won't make it, but you know people like Zuckerberg, elon Musk, you know Bezos about 50-50. Those are people who may exist and have immortality.

Speaker 2:

The Google folks, Sergey Brin and Larry.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, they're relatively young.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, they are.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, if you're born late 60s or early 70s or after, you have a shot of being one of these 600.

Speaker 2:

Woo-hoo, Late 60s for us buddy.

Speaker 3:

Kevin. That's the whole thing is, I know what they're doing because I've read their plans, I've read their white paper. So I know what they're doing and I can understand why they're doing what they're doing, cause you know, I've read their their plans, I've read their white paper, so I know what they're doing and I can understand why they're doing what they're doing. But I can't get in the fucking club. That's my whole issue. So I got to fight them Cause I want my kids to live and have freedom and a good life. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2:

Absolutely.

Speaker 3:

Boy. We went tangent and hardcore there on the ai no, I'm it's.

Speaker 2:

It's fascinating and it's it's a part of everyday life.

Speaker 3:

Now, I mean, we have self-driving cars yeah, kev, I, I, I, just I, I like to to delve into that. What's next? Uh-huh and the world we're in right now in comparison to where we're going to be in 2028, 2029, very different.

Speaker 2:

Dude, you were talking about Tom Cruise movies. Do you go back like Steven Spielberg when he did AI? How many years ago was that Way ahead of his time? Oh, totally. How did he know back then?

Speaker 3:

Kev, I got into a thing before I got into the Mission Possible, I watched all the Back to the Future movies. Uh-huh, Spielberg produced some of those Well actually produced all of them. And some of that stuff is like, wow, they predicted 2015, real good. Yes, yeah, spielberg Kev. I think Spielberg's one of the guys. Obviously, he's older, he's not going to get that immortality ticket, but he's a guy that's on the cutting edge, and so is James Cameron. Yep Cameron too, for sure. Cameron, they're on the, but I don't know if they're younger.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, well, yeah.

Speaker 3:

Regenerative. Again, you know, it comes back to the, to what was supposed to be just sci-fi fun, our billionaires turned into a to-do list, right. Yeah, all right, what else we got? Kevin Kline.
