Ep #22: Resilience, Politics, and Epic Baseball Moments with Tuttle & Kline
Have you ever wondered how communities cope without modern conveniences during extreme weather? Join us on The Tuttle & Kline Show as we recount the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl, reflecting on the resilience and community spirit that helped Tuttle survive over 58 hours without electricity. We contrast this with past experiences from storms like Rita, Ike, and Harvey, sharing personal anecdotes about enduring harsh conditions during our childhood and sports activities.
What happened when an assassination attempt on former President Trump collided with questions of security, government transparency, and media misinformation? We explore this complex issue, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a critical perspective on the information we consume. We also dive into the topic of media manipulation, discussing the implications of living in a hyper-connected world where misinformation can spread like wildfire, and how our daily lives often remain unaffected by larger political events until they directly interfere with our personal freedoms.
From the blistering heat of Death Valley to the icy extremes of Oymyakon in Siberia, we marvel at the incredible resilience of people living in such conditions. We reminisce about unforgettable Major League Baseball moments, from Jose Altuve's epic ALCS home run to Reggie Jackson's World Series three-home-run game.
In lighter segments, we discuss the etiquette of mosh pits, share Hollywood trivia, and even imagine owning a personal Deathstar. Join us for a mix of serious reflections and entertaining banter, and don't miss our thoughts on the importance of respecting the office of the President and the need for unity as Americans.
Welcome to the Tuttle Kline Show.
Speaker 2:How you doing, man, good buddy, how are you recovering from barrel?
Speaker 3:Hurricane barrel was very interesting.
Speaker 2:A barrel of laughs.
Speaker 3:Was not a barrel of laughs. You know what? It was kind of a mixed bag. And you know I say this knowing that still a lot of people don't have power a week later. Are you serious, kev? I have no idea what's going on. Far worse storms in the past, like Rita and Ike and Harvey. It wasn't this bad. There's a lot of stuff underneath the surface, a lot of corruption underneath the surface, a lot of corruption, greed and things that are happening because of the world we're in today.
Speaker 2:Well, I remember when we had a heat wave down there and the grid collapsed. I thought they fixed that shit.
Speaker 3:You know who knows, Ted Cruz is going to call for hearings on what I'm hearing.
Speaker 2:Oh, OK, All right. Well, that's ridiculous man it was. It was not that bad of a storm compared to previous storms that we've dealt with.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I mean there's a lot of anger out there.
Speaker 3:I'm sure there is a lot, just like what the hell's going on. You know, I can remember in storms you would have a FEMA presence. I mean, does FEMA even exist anymore? I'm in the middle of it and I've heard or seen nothing from FEMA Really Nothing. And the fact that two, three million people in Texas are without power and facing 100-degree days and you're sending money to Ukraine in the billions that's a lot of people are at Kev. I listened because I was out of power for 58 and a half hours.
Speaker 2:I know you were.
Speaker 3:So you know what you do is you start talking with people. You know you're outside, you're talking to people and Kev.
Speaker 2:You had to love that.
Speaker 3:A lot of anger, man, oh, I'm sure. I mean just a lot of people, just, and people that you wouldn't expect, you know are very, very angry. It's inexcusable that you would leave the fourth largest city in America naked and not give a shit. And you're talking about wars in European countries and in the Soviet Union. You know Russia.
Speaker 2:Well, I mean you talk about anger. I mean, we saw it on Saturday. We saw anger on Saturday.
Speaker 3:Yeah, there is, there is and we talked about this that this is going to be a very interesting year. But yeah, I and we talked about this that this is going to be a very interesting year. But yeah, first off, kev, getting back to the hurricane, it made me wonder what the hell people did before there was air conditioning to survive Houston summers.
Speaker 2:Yeah well, I grew up on a street in St Louis where there were nine people in the family and they were German immigrants and they did not believe in electricity. They were rural and rural Germans and so they didn't have electricity. And what did they do during the hot summer St Louis months where it was very humid? They would open all the windows and they would have fans in the windows and blow the air out or in.
Speaker 3:And some older people were saying hey, you know, you don't miss what you never had.
Speaker 3:True, you know, the reason why it's a big deal is because we're used to a very comfortable 72 degrees when we walk into our house, and when we can't do that, you know because we're used to it, it brings out anger, Whereas this older guy was just like hey man, we didn't know. I mean, when we were outside we'd look for a tree with some shade and we'd stay under the tree and during the middle of the day, when it was the hottest, we weren't too active, we weren't, we weren't playing our hijinks.
Speaker 2:You remember growing up and playing little league baseball, and I mean you played in a Northern city, a Northern state, but it still got humid and warm where you played. We would go out and play three games on a Saturday in a hundred degree weather and we didn't care.
Speaker 3:Now, we wouldn't even go out for three minutes. Yeah, exactly. Well, you know, Audrey, audrey did that when she played softball. I mean the all-star softball, if you remember, back in 2010,. That was some heavy heat. I mean, I can remember sometimes our catcher. I can look at our catcher and the eyes are rolling the back of her head.
Speaker 2:I'm literally hydrating her in between hitters? I don't doubt it. I mean I was the catcher.
Speaker 3:I know what that heat, that uniform does, the equipment but yeah, you, just you know, you don't know, you don't. If you don't know it, you you know. For for me, growing up in Wisconsin and Indiana, you know our, our problem was the winter.
Speaker 2:Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 3:You know, our problem is some of those late season football games could be nine degrees, that's why you watch them Exactly From the comfort of your home. I can remember a few times watching some icicles on my face mask.
Speaker 2:Oh sure, Drip down from my face mask. Yeah, yeah, you're, you're, uh, you're running around and playing, though, so you don't really feel as cold as the idiots who are sitting there watching you play no, when you're on the, when you're on a football field, it's, it's war.
Speaker 3:And if you're, if you're distracted, uh, you're in trouble yeah you got to have your head on a swivel and you don't give a shit what's going on. You just notice, like when the other teams I played defense, when the other teams in the huddle it's like, oh cool, there's a, there's a, it's hanging, it's kind of cool guys. And then that other quarterback goes break and they start coming out and they forget about everything. Oh yeah, absolutely so. Yeah, I, yeah, I, just I, I I had a mixed kind of a mixed bag. I mean, there was some misery during the hurricane, being, you know, 58 and a half hours with no electricity, and yes, I was counting and you know just some spiritual stuff. You know some introspective stuff. I was, you know, just thinking, thinking about things, thinking about life, and how nice it was that because I couldn't charge my phone, that I really couldn't use it much.
Speaker 2:I didn't miss it at all when I didn't have one.
Speaker 3:I kind of enjoyed that.
Speaker 2:Dude, it's amazing.
Speaker 3:I kind of enjoyed that. I honestly think that you should and I want to eventually get there is. I'm going to look at it in the morning Kids are okay, no emergencies Great. Look at it maybe in the afternoon, three or four or five hours later Kids are okay, no emergencies. And then look at it at night.
Speaker 2:That's it Pretty much what I do. I only have, I only have a phone because of my business. I didn't have one for like five or six months and Trish goes you're going to do this business, you're going to have to get a phone, People are going to need to contact you, but you know, the guy that directed the Batman trilogy and Oppenheimer, christopher Nolan, does not have a phone, does not have a computer.
Speaker 3:And we've talked about this All the executives at Apple and Samsung their children do not have phones. They don't, yeah, because they know what it's really all about. Mm hmm, you know you're a slave, you're not paying attention to things. No, we can. We can get away with a lot. If you're, you know, worried about what's going on in social media, like how many likes you got and everything like that, we can get away with murder. Sign in with Google, exactly.
Speaker 2:You know I don't want to put my password in. I'll just sign in with Google Boom Automatically, I'm in. Yeah, there's consequences to that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, exactly, but you know, getting back to you know, obviously the entire world is talking about the Trump hit.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we record this on Monday, so it just happened this past Saturday. Yeah, I mean, it's global news.
Speaker 3:I get accused a lot of being conspiracy guy, but I, you know. You know how does a dude get on a rooftop, 130 yards away from where the former president and leading candidate with a rifle? It's a white roof too, so he sticks out. And he not only does that, he gets to put a ladder up there. He walking right up there, he's got a rifle. They're bear crawling. Hundreds of people in the crowd are saying he's up there and he's allegedly our Secret Service snipers. Kev had had him in the scope, but let him fire first.
Speaker 2:Oh, I don't know anything about them having him in the scope and letting him fire first.
Speaker 3:I don't know. Yeah, before they killed him, they let him fire first, you know, because they got to kill him, you know. So he doesn't talk. Ok, so it's just very suspicious, and you know it's suspicious. You know I'm in Kroger yesterday and I'm hearing soccer moms. You know talking about this is doesn't look right. You know this is our government is scary. You know this is this is nasty when soccer moms are doing that. You know that's a big deal.
Speaker 2:OK, I agree, I, even if soccer moms aren't talking about it, it's still a big deal. I talk about it in the fuzzy mic. I don't know why anybody would want that job. Ok, four of our presidents have been assassinated. Going in order, it was Lincoln, then Garfield, then McKinley and then JFK in 1963. Jfk turned this whole country on its on its head and you talk about that all the time, tim, that that was the. That was basically the end of our democracy. It was over.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and that's what you say. Then you do disagree with me. I mean, we have been ruled by a shadow government.
Speaker 2:See, I don't know what to believe. Okay, I don't listen to the same programs or read the same material that you read and, honestly, even if I did, I don't know if I would believe it. Look what I did last week on the Fuzzy Mike. I had you saying all different kinds of shit, you know? I mean, it could be AI generated. Now, it could be bots talking about stuff like this, it could be foreign interference. I just don't know what to believe, and that's what I say in my fuzzy mic this week. That's one of the reasons why you have this kind of anger, because you have way too much programming, way too much content, way too many channels to get information from. People are going to be making shit up all the time for ratings.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and Kevin, that's one of the things that I got introspective about Is, man, I'm going to try not to let all of that shit, because if you really look at it, you still have your normal days. Sure, you know when that stops. When you know you got some kind of Gestapo on the street corner watching you, you know when that stops. That's different. Or if they start like going door to door and taking guns, or going door to door to strap you down to a gurney and give you a vaccine, I mean that's different. But you know, my life is not really too affected on a day-to-day basis.
Speaker 2:No, and mine isn't either, and we were very fortunate about that, one of the things that I did, because you're always talking about how the media is baiting this. Okay, and we've been a part of the media, we know how the media works, but I did see it firsthand. I did see it on Saturday on ABC news's coverage of the Trump assassination attempt, and it was. It was very well, it was enlightening, number one, but it was very disgusting at the same time. Uh, you had wit Johnson at the anchor desk, and anytime he would talk to an eyewitness be it a civilian or a politician who was there, he would try and bait them into talking about the other party.
Speaker 2:Ok, they were talking to a guy who's running for Senate and Trump was supposed to bring him up on stage sometime during the rally supposed to bring him up on stage sometime during the rally, and I would vote for this guy in a heartbeat just based on his answer, because what Johnson said asked him point blank. So how does this make you feel about our political process, that this happened during the campaign, wanting him to absolutely just rail on the Democrats, right? The guy didn't say that. The guy said well, you know what? We don't know what happened here, and so I'm not going to make a comment on that until all the information is out, but I think, first and foremost, we have a human being that got shot, and I think that's where our attention needs to be. Yeah, he didn't take the bait, but they were trying to bait him, and they were trying to bait every single one of them. They're just evil man.
Speaker 3:I mean they evil man. I mean they, they are evil. Uh, you know, I here, let me, let me send word out to mainstream media, the, the, the anchors and everything like that. If we do ever have a post-apocalypse situation, do not tell people what you are and what you've done. You know what your job was, because you will be literally on a campfire with an apple in your mouth spinning around later that night.
Speaker 2:Welcome to the luau.
Speaker 3:Yeah, exactly, I mean they are just Kevin. It is evil and a lot of it is propaganda, some of it is hey, I just have to get attention.
Speaker 2:But it's all about ratings.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's all about ratings. I have to do this.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, so, uh, and again, this is all stuff that I am regurgitating now that you can check out on the fuzzy mic. You brought up the secret service and I'm very fortunate in my life that I know very well, very. I'm very closely connected to two secret service agents One is still active and one is retired and I got a message from the retired one who laid out nine points of why it is so difficult and why this guy got so close to President Trump, 130 yards away, to take that shot.
Speaker 3:Okay, fascinating.
Speaker 2:Okay, Well.
Speaker 3:Kev. You know, still, man, they have all kinds of technology. They got infrared, they've got drones. You know, they have all kinds of technology. They've got infrared, They've got drones. They've got people that should be sweeping on the outside. Let me tell you this If hundreds of people within the facility are screaming minutes beforehand that there's somebody on the roof with a gun bear crawling, there's no excuse. You could take the nine points, all you want. You've got to be able to get there.
Speaker 2:Well, he lays out the point why they didn't and why they couldn't. You cannot leave your post, even if you are a police officer from Pittsburgh or Pennsylvania that's been hired by the Secret Service, which they do because they're underpowered. That's what he says.
Speaker 3:What did he say in his points on why the snipers didn't take a shot until after the assailant fired?
Speaker 2:That was not addressed in his points. Exactly. Okay, I know this guy, you don't, so I talk about his character. This guy is the utmost character.
Speaker 3:I'm not indicting him at all, I'm just telling you that you just did no, no, no, not at all. I'm just like, if indicting him at all, I'm just telling you that you just did no, no, no, not at all. I'm just like if they have them in the scope, why didn't they fire?
Speaker 2:I don't know. Apparently he didn't know that. He didn't address that. I mean he, he sent this to me the day after it happened. Ok, so I don't, I don't know, but you're saying, all right, that that was kind of an indictment on him.
Speaker 3:No, it wasn't meant as an indictment, I'm just. I'm just saying is is you know, I, if you, if you, why do you wait? You know? I mean that's your that's your job. You're, you have one job. Yeah, if you have somebody on a roof, that's got the president, the former president and possible future president in the scope and you got him in the scope.
Speaker 2:You light him up. You have to. You have to light him up. I agree, you have to. So I don't know the answer to that and CF did not say anything about that in his message. So what is your theory on this? On the shooter, the 20 year old shooter, what is it?
Speaker 3:they can't, I don't know anything about him more likely than not. I mean, he's either some some, um, uh, you know trained, you know cia patsy, or he's you know just some psycho that you know that somebody worked pushed him to do it Because they do that too.
Speaker 3:They do that too. The intelligence community likes to work on feeble minds. I don't know, but I will say this is A they had to shut him up up. And B you know, there are a lot of people that have a huge fear of a second Trump administration because they've shit on him. They've put him through shit. You know God knows the crimes against humanity during this COVID shit. They're worried about tribunals in the end of January of next year. So there are powerful forces that have a vested interest in making sure Donald Trump never, ever, puts his hand on the Bible and raises his hand in January.
Speaker 2:If the intelligence community got to this guy and hired him, wouldn't they have chosen somebody who made their high school rifle team? This guy did not make his high school rifle team. He's not a good shooter.
Speaker 3:I don't know, kev. These are all great questions. He had a scope on him and he knew it. He had just allegedly backed down a police officer off the ladder I have read that, yes, his heart's beating whatever and he came a half inch away from mission accomplished.
Speaker 2:Oh, you came millimeters away Exactly.
Speaker 3:So you can say that about being a bad shot, all you want. But I think that you know, if you show it, it shows it right there, right at the last second, Trump had a head cock, a head movement that that probably saved his life.
Speaker 2:It saved his life, for sure.
Speaker 3:And I'll say this is you know, a lot of people get on me. I'm a little antsy caffeine and all that stuff and I'm there's. I'm glad I do that, because if somebody gets me in the scope, Timmy's moving in his zigzag line all the time, exactly. You got to really really zone in man.
Speaker 2:Yeah. Another thing about this is this will be more scrutinized than JFK. Okay, and the reason why is because we have more cameras out there now and every one of us is a videographer, so there's more footage to call from and there's more witnesses.
Speaker 3:And Kev, you know, back in 1963, it was a much more innocent country. The people wanted to believe what the authorities were telling them. Now we don't trust a fucking word they say.
Speaker 2:We really don't trust anybody anymore.
Speaker 3:No, no. They all have been caught lying to us, they all have been caught in corruption and have not been convicted and not been charged and whatever. So the people are just like there's nothing that you can tell me that I'll believe. I don't believe a word. They say Nothing. I mean, if mainstream media or the federal government looked at me and said, hey, the sky is blue, Tim, I'd still look up to double check because I don't trust a fucking thing either of them say Well, I mean, this is all negative stuff and this is what I talk about with the fuzzy mic too, but I want to.
Speaker 2:I want to inject some positivity into this. I know I know me right, please do, mr. Doom and gloom Um, the same rhetoric that's being spewed by both campaigns right now is called rage rhetoric, and I read this on an article on the hillcom written by a professor of, uh, public law at George Washington university. His name is Jonathan Turley, and I did not know. I thought this was unprecedented times for this rhetoric, this political hate speech. Okay, it's not. It goes back to 1800.
Speaker 2:Thomas Jefferson in 1800 was running for the Jeffersonians. John Adams was running for the Federalist Party Jeffersonians. John Adams was running for the Federalist Party. The Federalist Party said that if Thomas Jefferson was elected into office, then rape, murder and pretty much everything else that you could picture under the sun that would be heinous against people would become not only taught but legalized. Rape, murder, incest, all that stuff would have been legalized. Legalized Rape, murder, incest, all that stuff would have been legalized. On the other hand, jefferson's Jefferson.
Speaker 2:Thomas Jefferson was saying this about John Adams John Adams gets reelected, they're going to start the transportation trains. There's going to be a death right on the spot. They're going to put you right up in the what they call the gibbets, but it's the gallows, right on the spot. No, no, no questions, no trial, nothing. They're going to go around, start killing people that don't believe what their, what their system is. So it dates back to the 1800s. Now here's the positive spin on this, going through it again right now. But after 1800, all the way to 2024, we have had some calm times and we've had some real prosperous times.
Speaker 3:So you think this is cyclical, this is an end of days.
Speaker 2:There you go, buddy. So you think this is cyclical? This is an end of days.
Speaker 3:There you go, buddy, right there I do. Everything comes around again. Absolutely hockey team in 1980. I remember those times, kevin, even like right after the Gulf War started in 91, whitney Houston, oh yeah, with the National Anthem at the Super Bowl, I mean, and stars, let go, and I can't wait For the land of the free and the land of the day. I mean, we had no differences there. None.
Speaker 3:And something may happen along those lines where you know Ah, man, man, sure you're a totalitarian fascist, commie, but hell, you're my totalitarian fascist. Come, come here and let me give, give me a noogie, I'm gonna give you a noogie, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:I know, man, I say it. We all live in the same country and you know you can sit there and say, well, he ain't my president, well, he ain't my president, well, you know what you't my president. Well, you know what, you live in this country, so he is your president. Respect the fucking office, okay.
Speaker 3:See, that's the thing too. You know that's something I don't understand. You know I have my own personal opinions. Yeah, we all do About presidents, but I never call for, you know, the nastiness that you see done regardless, Because, hey, man, that's who we have. Yeah, there are some suspicion circumstances on how he got there, but you know, that's our guy. You know what I'm saying, You're right.
Speaker 2:I have disagreed with a lot of presidents. I have never hated a president, never hated a president. Okay, and the reason why is because you can't hate your leader. You just can't. Well, it's a bad optic. You cannot hate your leader.
Speaker 3:Well, not only that, but it's. It's a situation where, like you're the, the reason you're judging is you have your viewpoints and you have your. You know people that you listen to and you know everything like that. I mean, let's say, for example, you don't like Obama, I don't like Obama, hated him, communist God damn it, big government, son of a bitch. You know, if you were ever alone in a room with him, he would be a buddy to you. Yeah, you would shake his hand, you'd be, smiling, ear to ear, glad to meet him. You'd be like let's go get a beer, it's on me, and he'd have a beer with you and you'd be buds. I mean, that's just how it is.
Speaker 2:Well, tim, you and I both know this from firsthand experience, because we've met George HW Bush and we've met George W Bush. They're different people when they're out of office.
Speaker 4:They're likable people when they're out of office.
Speaker 3:Well, not only that, but even when they're in the in the office, A because of the office and who they are, and B because of their ability to charm, I mean, how the fuck do you think they got there? Yeah, true, you will not like them. Kevin reminds me of our interview that we had with Brett Michaels, the lead singer of Poison. Yeah, you know he, when I was married Eric and I were married she met him and gave him just like a long. He gave her like a long kiss, you know on the cheek or whatever, and it was like extended. So I was like that ain't cool dude. Oh right, and then we interviewed him and within five minutes of talking to him, it's like I like brett michaels, how do you not like this guy? I mean, he practically made out with my wife, but you know, I like him, yeah, and that's how it is.
Speaker 3:I mean mean, again, you can say even Biden, who, yes, he doesn't seem all there. There's some cognitive issues. If you were alone with him, you know he'd fetch you a root beer and he'd be hey.
Speaker 2:So tell me about how things are going in Houston, Texas, and let me tell you, Mr President, we're sweating our asses off down here and your organization hasn't done anything for us. And you know what he'd say to go god didn't know that.
Speaker 3:You know I got a lot on my plate. I'm gonna look into that after this. Hey, look at that right there. Hey, jose can't say goes in the white house. You ever met, jose?
Speaker 2:and then the next thing you know it's like oh, you're disarmed yeah, yeah, oh, and remember and this is psychology people only show you what they want you to know. People only show you what they want you to see. Okay, and the media? We've never met Biden, so a small amount of people know who Joe Biden is and the media tries to tell you who he is. And guess what, if you told me a story right now, tim, I guarantee, by the time, I told it to somebody else and they told it to somebody else it would have changed five times.
Speaker 3:Well, not only that, it's you put a lot more worth than need to be in regards to, you know, the power of the president. They don't have the power.
Speaker 2:You surround yourself with good people who make good decisions, and the bus stops with you. That's it.
Speaker 3:They don't run the country. The people who got you there run the country, whether it be, whether it be the people who paid the millions and millions of dollars to get you there or the people who told you what to say and when to say it, they run the country.
Speaker 2:Yeah, oh, I've long, since I've long said that the president is a figurehead.
Speaker 3:Absolutely, because it's just it's too much, way too big of a Rubik's cube for one brain to wrap its head around. Here is Trump got some heat because he didn't reveal all or release all of the JFK files that they've had hidden for 60 years. And he honestly told somebody and I can't forget who he was talking to, I want to say Mark Levine or somebody like that he said I can't release that If you saw it, you wouldn't be able to either. It'd be an instant civil war, really, yeah, yeah. So you know, just imagine some of the shit.
Speaker 3:Okay, you become the president, inauguration's done the parade, everything's great. Then they bring in and brief you and you see everything that you know, a president sees and has to know and everything like that. It changes everything. It doesn't matter what you said on the campaign trail. There's some shit that you can never do for reasons you know that are revealed to you, and what you know, and only you and you know a select few know, and that's why I do a lot of research on stuff, so I can like ready myself and my kids or whatever, if something were to happen, because I know they're not going to like a, like a meteor coming, that's like dead on, gonna hit us and kill everything on the planet.
Speaker 2:They would never tell us about that oh, it would be mass panic, it would be pandemonium exactly.
Speaker 3:That's exactly why it would immediately go to a crazed lunacy on the streets and everything would be over yeah, yeah yeah, so that's why I like to do outside research all the time so I know and have an idea of the stuff that possibly could be happening that they would never tell us about.
Speaker 2:Well, actually this portion of a conversation leads me to two things. Number one, that we pretty much have a definitive timeline for the end of earth, according to scientists.
Speaker 3:Yeah, please tell me, I wanna hear this. Well, get your affairs in Earth according to scientists. Yeah, please tell me, I want to hear this.
Speaker 2:Well, get your affairs in order, timmy T. There is a life cycle for stars. Stars just burn out. Stars lose their life. Planets are stars, so Earth has a definitive life cycle and it's coming up the end 250 million years From now.
Speaker 3:Yeah, we've got 250 million years left of our planet.
Speaker 2:So I'm cool, I'm cool.
Speaker 3:I'm good I was going to. I was going to go steal a Lamborghini until you said 250 million years.
Speaker 2:But think about this. Okay, 250 million years sounds like a lot to us, right? They say that the galaxy has been around for billions of years. So I mean, think about that. It's such a short amount of time 250 million compared to billions of years. You know they had the richest man in Asia. His son just got married over the weekend. They spent $600 dollars on the wedding they had. They paid justin bieber 10 million dollars to come play the reception and they did.
Speaker 3:The equation is like us paying 8.67 cents for a sandwich wow, except, well, see, that's why they remember they gave uh michael jordan all the shit because he was losing millions gambling, yeah. And he finally said get some perspective. If I lose three million dollars, that's 27 to you. That's right, yep, are you gonna like? Are you gonna call uh gamblers anonymous if you lose 27?
Speaker 2:no, no uh the other aspect of this, and I don't know if you've been following this, but the courts in Oklahoma want to release all of Toby Keith's financial information. Why, what's up? Toby died earlier this year and so it all went into an estate and his wife and kids are the beneficiaries of this estate, but apparently there is some sort of a catch that they need to have some. They need to have all of his business dealings disclosed before the courts were released. I don't know the actual reason why, but here's the deal. His wife is now in court trying to block this because she said if people found out Toby's business dealings, our family would be targeted. Really, yeah, Our family would be targeted. So it's actually a danger for us to release this information to the public.
Speaker 3:I wonder, what that means.
Speaker 2:Maybe secretly, he did root for OSU.
Speaker 3:That could be it too, you never know, that could be it too. You never know, man. I mean you.
Speaker 2:you know it's big 12 football man that's right that shit is serious klein, I know I know and and kev, I would.
Speaker 3:You know I was thinking just with all the k and you talked me down from it, but I actually spent a lot of time this weekend like looking at different countries to move to.
Speaker 2:I talked you down from what?
Speaker 3:I was seriously thinking of pulling up the stakes and like going to Lima, Peru.
Speaker 2:Oh, what's stopping you? I don't know Kids. Yeah, I can. That, I can understand. That I can understand. Yeah, everything we do can be done from any location in the world. Yeah, I mean, I, you know it's, it's. It's the same lifestyle at 40% of the cost. It's the same lifestyle in so far as they have the same amenities. Tim, it is radically different lifestyles. If you were to check out Costa Rica or Panama, it's so laid back, dude, it is. Costa Rica is right up your freaking alley, bro. I mean, it is just, it's peace, it's laid back. It's waves coming in from the ocean crashing into the beach and the in the mountains. Oh, dude, it's nice.
Speaker 3:You should buy a place there and just let me rent it, cause what I was thinking, kevin, is I don't want to, I don't. I may be like, okay, that was fun. I just did a year in Costa Rica, now I'm going to go to Thailand.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's definitely. Uh, you would have to do it in six month increments, because that's what the that's how long the pieces last six months.
Speaker 3:But here's the thing is you know you can like fill out the retirement visas in places like Panama and Peru and stuff like that. They want you there.
Speaker 2:They do want you there. They make it very, very friendly to bring in expats. But all you have to do because the realtor that we were working with in Costa Rica, this is how he does it, because he's not a permanent citizen but he still has a job there he's from Canada Every five months and 28 days he leaves the country, goes back to Canada and then comes back and fills out another six-month visa. That's funny. That's what he does.
Speaker 3:That's funny. All you got to do. They make it easy, don't they? Yeah, they do, man, they make it easy. And then you have this apartment, this two-bedroom apartment. It's right on the ocean 320 bucks a month.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's true, it's true.
Speaker 3:Yeah. So you never know, kev, I may be firing off a text to you, sometimes saying you know what, I'm out, I'm out.
Speaker 2:Oh, you wouldn't want to do this still.
Speaker 3:Oh well, stu, we'll do this, yeah, I mean, yeah, that's one of the things. There's two things that the country's got to have, and this is why Lima, peru, is perfect. They have to have good internet, high speed, uh-huh, because I've got to trade too and I've got to do our podcast and I've got to be able to sports bet.
Speaker 4:I hereby declare Miami to be Smooth Jimmy's lock of the week. Ooh, that's a big lock. All right, but I just don't trust that guy In the Cincinnati-Miami game. I declare Cincinnati to be my shoe-in of the week. Hmm, they both make a good case.
Speaker 3:Even though we live in the freest country in the world. I, as an American, you know I can't sports bet here in the state of Texasxas, and the united states won't allow me to bet online poker. Wow, because you know they. They know better than I do about how to live my life. So thank you, daddy, thank you appreciate you.
Speaker 2:Can I have the keys of the car sometime?
Speaker 3:yes, yes, just hand me the bottle and make sure it's got some warm milk. I'm going to bed, um kev, what's this about? Uh, hottest and coldest places on the planet you were talking.
Speaker 2:Talking about what's going on there earlier you were talking about how that gentleman that you were talking about without air conditioning, how they would go, do go about their day, but then in the middle of the day at the hottest, they would stop and then come back out when it wasn't the hottest place on uh, on earth. I watched it in a documentary the day at the hottest they would stop and then come back out when it wasn't the hottest place on Earth. I watched this in a documentary. It's the hottest inhabitable places on Earth. Death Valley and Al-Azira, Azaria in Libya, are the two hottest places and Al-Azaria has had the hottest record in temperature 135. And people work outside. But they do exactly what your guy said During the hottest part of the day, they seek shade, they hydrate and then they continue their work afterwards. Can you?
Speaker 3:imagine living in 135 degrees Fahrenheit. That's crazy, but it's a dry heat, right? Yeah, I don't give a shit man, if it's 135,. I don't care how dry it is, you're still cooking.
Speaker 2:Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 3:Yeah, your flesh is cooking and you'll be done in three hours.
Speaker 2:Well, and again it's Libya. So yeah, it's a dry heat there is that it's so dry there's no water anywhere. Exactly yeah, so the coldest place is it's called the pole of Cold. Oymyakon in Siberia reached minus 96 Fahrenheit.
Speaker 5:It's Sunday morning and it's a day for a shower in the Yakutsk village. The shower in Yakutsk village is quite different. People here don't have water showers because pipes freezes during cold and long winters, so taking a shower might turn into the adventure. Vitaly is chopping the wood for his bathhouse. Look how much wood he needs just for one shower. This is because the temperature needs to be over 100 degrees in the steam room. It takes around 5 hours of heating. That's why people here are only able to shower once a week. Jesus man.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's not even with windchill factor, that's straight up.
Speaker 2:That was straight up yeah Minus 96 Fahrenheit. It's the coldest temperature ever recorded in a permanently inhabitable place. Now Antarctica has been colder recorded, but that's not permanently inhabited. So there's over 500 people that live in Oymyakon and they have winter nine and a half months out of the year. And in those nine and a half months if you have a car and you turn it on once, you have to let it run continuously until summer. If you turn it off, everything freezes and you lose your car. Are you kidding me? No, sir, and you lose your car.
Speaker 3:Are you kidding me? No, sir. That is crazy. See, kev, you know this. I delivered the Milwaukee Journal on the coldest day in Milwaukee history. I think it was like 27 below zero, but the wind chill was at 85 below zero, uh-huh, and that was almost uninhabitable.
Speaker 2:And that's coming off of water too. That's coming off of Lake Michigan, right Lake Michigan, right on Lake Michigan. That is a harsh, cold man.
Speaker 3:Dude that was. I couldn't, you know, I couldn't even believe it, I couldn't even believe that. You know that that. So I, when it's and that's another thing I was telling myself last week is like, hey man, at least you're not delivering the Milwaukee journal, at least you're not delivering the Milwaukee journal, at least you're not delivering a Milwaukee journal.
Speaker 2:But see, if you had that, that experience, you have that, uh, that pass to call upon, to know what a real hardship is. So now you can appreciate.
Speaker 3:Oh, kev, as soon as it came on, I mean, cause I'm, I'm laying there what I, what I did a lot was I laid, just laid down and, you know, opened up the blind just a little bit, Not too much, I don't want to heat pipe it in Absolutely and just enough so I can read. And I was reading books. You know, I was reading the Robert Plant biography at the time, ok, and I just heard it fire up and I was like, oh my God fire up. And I was like, oh my god, oh my god, and you can hear, like, like the neighbors, like there's just like a roar, it's kind of like when you're watching the astros in the world series, yeah, and like altuve hits a home run, the whole neighborhood. You can hear the whole neighborhood. You know, I'm saying yes, like I'll never, I'll remember that when actually the game where he hit it off of, uh the yankees, uh altube, in 2019, to get us into the world series, the walk-off, yes, I'll never forget that, because you could hear the whole neighborhood at one time screaming.
Speaker 2:That was an amazing moment.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you remember that, don't you Altuve off of Chapman.
Speaker 2:A roll of Chapman. Yeah, from the left side. I definitely remember it. It was magical.
Speaker 3:Yes, it was magical.
Speaker 2:I mean those storybook times in Major League Baseball when those happen. I just Kirk Gibson in the World Series off of Dennis Eckersley.
Speaker 4:The game right now is at the plate.
Speaker 6:High fly ball into right field. She is gone.
Speaker 2:I mean, truth is stranger than fiction. You couldn't write that stuff.
Speaker 3:Joe Carter, toronto, blue Jays.
Speaker 6:Oh my God, Joe has had his moments. Two balls and two strikes on him. Here's the pitch on the way, A swing and a belt Left field Way back. Blue Jays win it. The Blue Jays are World Series champions as Joe Carter hits a three-run home run in the ninth inning and the Blue Jays have repeated as World Series champions Touch them all. Joe, You'll never hit a bigger home run in your life.
Speaker 3:I mean, that's every kid's dream right there A home run to win the World Series.
Speaker 2:Walk-off home run to win the series. Man, yeah, I mean.
Speaker 3:Imagine how your heart is pumping when you're rounding the bag.
Speaker 2:Dude, you couldn't contain it.
Speaker 3:You know Reggie Jackson, his third home run in 77 in the World Series.
Speaker 4:Reggie Jackson has seen two pitches in the strike zone tonight, two and he's going to boast in the seat Five. Goodbye.
Speaker 6:What Five? Oh, what a blow. What a way to toughen it on.
Speaker 3:All those moments, or Bill Buckner? Oh, no, that was not.
Speaker 4:Yeah 5-5 in a delirious 10th inning. Can you believe this ball game is shaking, oh brother. 3-2 to Mookie Wilson. Little roller up along first Behind the bag. It roller up along first Behind the bag.
Speaker 6:It gets through Buckner, here comes Knight and the Mets win it.
Speaker 2:Sorry, bill, he's never lived that down.
Speaker 3:Never, and he had a great baseball career. He was a good player. He was. He was a good player. I mean, kev, I used to. You know, back in those days I loved getting the Bill Buckner trading card. You know I would be like this is worth something, this is a good card. I like this guy. And then that happened and it's just like he was toxic radioactive.
Speaker 2:You know, that is such a strange play. We live in an era of conspiracy theories. Do you think it was set up? Do you think?
Speaker 3:it was a real play? No, okay setup. Do you think that was a real play? No, okay, I. I just think. I just think at the worst possible time a human being has a brain fart. He had a brain fart. Yeah, he he was like we are, you know, in his head. We won the world series, right and forgot to finish it.
Speaker 3:Uh-huh, definitely. It's like leon let, when he returned the, uh, the, the fumble, uh, you know. I thought, oh my God, I'm going to go down in history as having a touchdown in the Superbowl and then smacked out of his hands, right the one yard line. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:I do know what you're saying Absolutely and I like hearing that, because I would hate to think that those moments were set up, that they were paid off, that they were bribes, and I'm glad that you kind of put my fear aside on that.
Speaker 3:Oh, kev. And I specifically remember three plays when I played ball, two of them when I was playing defensive back. I had interception pick six. The end zone was right straight ahead, nobody in front of me, and it slipped off my fingers twice. Oh Twice, because I was like I've scored a touchdown before I catch the ball. I'm like I scored a touchdown right here.
Speaker 2:There you go.
Speaker 3:And then another time Kev was a layup to win the game A layup in eighth grade and I missed it Because I was like, because you could hear. You know, I was at home and you know, when you play a Catholic school basketball that's a big deal. There's the fans, or there's a lot of people in the fans, and they're going nuts, you know, in the stands and I'm it's breakaway. I'm all alone. I'm like I just won this fucking game. Man, molly Foy and Sarah Matthews are looking at me. You know what I'm saying. I know they're looking at me. I know they're looking at me and then boom off the back of the fucking rim.
Speaker 2:Yeah, there you go. So there are your poster moments for why you live in the moment and not the future.
Speaker 3:You gotta finish the deal, man. That's the deal, you gotta finish it.
Speaker 4:Hey, that was very Biden of you. It's time to finish the job.
Speaker 3:Finish the job, kev. This is a I like this. We got a DM from Colt, great name, yeah, obviously, man, I'm not sure where he's from, but I think it's Texas. I think it's Texas. He saw in episode 20, the clip of Pantera's huge mosh pit. Yeah, and he freaked out on that. He's a younger guy and he freaked out on that. He's a younger guy and he freaked out on that. He's he. He was like I cannot believe that. You know, nobody suffocated there, but you know, travis scott, the tragedy at his show in 2021 here in houston, and I, I, you know, I, I tried to explain it to him and then I, you know, I was just like, hey, listen to the podcast and I'll explain.
Speaker 3:The difference is, kev, I've been in many of those mosh pits. Yes, I've been. I've been like right in the middle of that, right there, and it can be scary, but there's kind of some rules that we always had. The rules were if somebody went down, you cleared a space to get the person up and if somebody was having trouble with exhaustion or breathing, a lot of times the smaller people, the five sixes, the five sevens would get into a precarious position. The five sevens would get into a precarious position, and it's up to the tall people like myself and you know other people, to get that person up in the air and to move them out of the pit. And that was the thing is. It just seemed to me at the Travis Scott show, when I watched the video, that they weren't lifting the people up and bringing them. You know, you, you, you, you, you wave them over to the side, you like, literally from one person to another, get them where they can get air.
Speaker 2:They crowd surf without their knowledge because they're basically passed out.
Speaker 3:Yeah, exactly that's what happens in a mosh pit. You've seen it before. Many of the times somebody goes down or some smaller person is getting smothered a little bit, some smaller person is getting smothered a little bit, bigger people get them up in the air and they crowd, surf them over to the side, and then security's over to the side and they get the paramedic and all that stuff.
Speaker 2:Yeah, timmy, I'm approaching 55 and my mosh pit days are long past, but I still go to those concerts that I went to when I was in my early 20s and when I was going to the mosh pit. And they are violent, violent mosh pits, yes, and if somebody goes down they stop everything they're doing they do. As a matter of fact, I was in a pit one time where the person was wearing like running shorts and their wallet fell out and money went all over the place in the mosh pit. The mosh pit stopped and everybody got, gathered the money together and gave it back to this person. They held it in their hands and then they went back to moshen yeah, there's an, there's an etiquette great word there's an etiquette.
Speaker 3:You there's. You know you don't want anybody being hurt. You don't want this concert to be headlines. You don't want pan terror to be known for this. You know what I'm saying? Absolutely. So you have a responsibility and that's all it is. I mean, if you're a bigger person in a large crowd, it is your job to go ahead and have fun. You do your mosh. But if you see anything at all where it looks like somebody's in trouble and Kev, you know, the last thing I want to do is want to do is point fingers to small people, Sometimes some of the shorter. This is not a place for you, but if you decide to do it, it is up to the rest of us to get you out of the situation. And I just didn't see that when I'm watching the video of the Travis Scott. I just did not see the tall people getting people up in the air. And you have to do that.
Speaker 2:That's the only thing you can do.
Speaker 3:And I don't know the statistics, but I would imagine that most of the people that were harmed during that show were probably smaller. Build, probably, your five twos, your five sixes, your five fours, your five ones. You know what I'm saying, yeah.
Speaker 2:I know the people who can't see, because they got gotta get close, because six two and six three didn't do their job, didn't do it, not at all, didn't do it. Okay, so you agree, but is there a lot of moshing going on at rap concerts? I mean, that's how far removed.
Speaker 3:I am, it was a way. You're talking about the? You're talking about the crowd, uh it was just too many people in one place at one time and there's a wave going back and forth, but you know that still resembles a mosh pit. You still have the etiquette you definitely do. I mean I, I, I couldn't imagine being in that and seeing somebody go down or seeing somebody in trouble and not just saying, hey, let's get this person up, let's go right and all it takes is you know I, I can do it myself.
Speaker 3:or you know two, two bigger people that get them up in the air and literally you'll, you'll watch everybody else that is tall will wave that person over, just keep passing Exactly. Kev. Yeah, let's talk about some rabbit holes. Rabbit hole of the week. Tell me what you did, sir.
Speaker 2:It's a Web site that you're very familiar with. We used to talk about it all the week. Tell me what you did, sir. It's a website that you're very familiar with. We used to talk about it all the time and I just I got hooked on it again. T-shirt hell, I love that. Oh my God, dude.
Speaker 3:I love that. Okay, let me say this real quick Because there's some people that may be listening or watching. That will be T-shirt hell. I got to go check that out. Some of it is very edgy. Some of it, if you're sensitive, you'll not be happy that you went there.
Speaker 2:That's right. Yeah, it's basically whatever crass saying that you can come up with, or crass visual or offending something. Uh, it's on there and you could buy it in a shirt form. Exactly, yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I love that. What are some of the good ones that you you got?
Speaker 2:You know, I knew you were going to ask me that and I I there's so many good ones, but the one that really really stuck out to me was it's a, it's a guy in a wheelchair at the top of a stairs a flight of stairs, okay and he's at the top in a wheelchair and at the bottom is a slinky and it says slinky wins oh, that's awful.
Speaker 3:why am I laughing, right? What is wrong with me? I'm sorry, that's my sense of humor. I apologize.
Speaker 2:Oh, mine too, yeah for sure.
Speaker 3:You know you get to the point. Kevin and I have always had the sense of humor as we challenge you to try to offend us.
Speaker 2:That's correct.
Speaker 3:There's nothing you can say.
Speaker 2:Nothing, nothing. We've already talked about this Nothing. I We've already talked about this Nothing, because I'm not going to let you get the satisfaction number one. But I know the intent is just to make us laugh, that's it.
Speaker 3:Kev, I got caught in rabbit holes and this has happened to me before, but I was really into it was the behind-the-scenes stories of the making of some of the classic movies you know, of all time. I, I, just, I've become fascinated with it. You know, like, like, particularly after I watch one of them or something like that, I like to go and see, like, the behind the scenes, right and just. You know, like, like, like, for example, goodfellas great movie movie Paul Sorvino.
Speaker 3:He played Paulie Uh-huh. At the last second he almost pulled out of the movie. Why? Because he thought this is just too violent. He said, you know, and if you remember, that was at the time probably the most violent movie we had ever seen. Yeah, and it starts off with you know them stabbing in the trunk, the three guys stabbing in to um, um, you know his family. He's like I'm gonna pull out, it's just too much, I don't want to be associated with it. And his family's like are you fucking kidding me? It's scorsese and de niro and dad, you're not really known really well. You know this can change everything for you.
Speaker 2:That is basically what his family said and it did I can't, can't believe that he would think about getting out of that such a great movie yeah, initially he was uh, he was happy.
Speaker 3:You know he's like, oh, I got this, got this great part and scorsese and everything like that. You know mama. And then you know they go through rehearsals and he's reading the script more and more. He's like oh, I got this, got this great part and Scorsese and everything like that. You know mob. And then you know they go through rehearsals and he's reading the script more and more.
Speaker 2:It's like God, this is all ultra violent.
Speaker 3:This is terrible, you know it was ultra violent and you know he didn't, he didn't under, he didn't like fully grasp the concept of. You know, you got to, you got to, you got to paint these mafia and mob figures.
Speaker 2:This is what they do, which I would have thought he would have known that.
Speaker 3:Well, yeah, yeah, he had some. You know he's Italian, so he had some pride. He didn't want to, you know, feed into that whole stereotype thing either.
Speaker 2:But if it's real, if it's true, it's not a stereotype.
Speaker 3:Exactly, henry Hill wrote it. Henry Hill is half Italian and he wrote it. Yeah, yeah, so uh, I kept. Another one was the movie dazed and confused, filmed in the early 90s in austin with uh matthew mcconaughey and a lot of people that uh blew up and became big like uh ben affleck. Ben affleck was in there, played a douche. Oh, he was a douchebag.
Speaker 2:Total dick.
Speaker 3:But I don't know if you knew this or not. Sean Andrews, he's the guy that played Link later. You know Mila Jovovich's boyfriend. Okay, he was supposed to be a huge and prominent role in that movie and a big character in the movie, but according to the you know the documentaries, he was such a dick on the set oh really, that they didn't even like put him in some key scenes that he was supposed to excel in and they cut most of his role. They cut him, wow. Yeah, he was just such a huge dick and you know.
Speaker 3:So, a side note, and this is crazy you know he was 21 years old and milla was 16 years old. I knew she was young, she was a russian model, you know, 16 years old. Uh, they actually, you know, had a a thing and he he actually married her until her mom found out and got it annulled, uh-huh. So he was 21 years old, marrying a 16 year old, being a dick on the set, having his role cut down and he the. The thing is, you know, he's got a. They say he's got a natural talent. He's really good. He was supposed to be like, really a big star and this is going to be his breakout, but he was such an asshole and his career never took off because everybody just fucking hated him gotta gotta treat people the way you want to be treated yeah, but I bet you didn't know.
Speaker 3:Isn't that crazy she? I didn't know that she was 16 and he was 21 and he went and uh eloped with her during the filming. Wow, he's like. She is so hot. I will never do better than this. You know she's under my spell.
Speaker 2:I'm going to just you know what I'm saying. I know what you're saying. She's a very pretty, very pretty lady.
Speaker 3:Yeah. So and here's another one, kev. I thought really interesting. I was watching the first off. I watched Grease. I love that.
Speaker 2:It's the only musical I can really watch, to be honest with you. Oh no, you've watched South Park Bigger, longer, uncut. Oh okay, all right, that's a musical too.
Speaker 3:All right, you know that's different. Did you know Olivia Newton-John? She was hired and they had an audition with her, but she demanded that the studio give her a screen test because she was worried that she would be such a bad actress that she would ruin the movie, no kidding. So she demanded that they give her a screen test. She's like I didn't want to ruin that movie because, you know, I knew John Travolta you know was in it and Stockard Channing, who had played Rizzo Right and had played that role on Broadway, which is why she was so good at it. Uh-huh, um, you know she was blown away by by them in the uh readings and everything. You know, even kineki. You know jeff conway, yeah, uh, who. Who played zuko on broadway? Did you know that? Didn't know he?
Speaker 3:played zuko yeah, he was supposed to be zuko. And then the studio came to him said, hey, we got travolta and he goes. Okay, I'll be knicky. He knew, yeah, yeah, for sure. And another little tidbit that you'll be interested travolta made more money off of the soundtrack of that record than anything else he had ever done, ever, has ever done, ever, ever, even over over Saturday night fever. Yes, he made more money off of that. That's the reason why he can buy planes, even to, even today. It makes him millions a year, I'm sure.
Speaker 2:So, yeah, I thought that was interesting, that uh here's something that, uh, that two things actually, with your, your rabbit hole. Whitney Houston did not want to be in the body guard. No, she was afraid. She didn't think she would be able to carry the role.
Speaker 3:No, Kevin Costner is my, Kevin Costner is my co-star. I don't, I can't do that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, much like Olivia Newton-John. And then the other thing, uh, was that? Uh, wow, this just plays into it perfectly. Uh, we just brought up Costner. Do you know that Clint Eastwood almost kicked him out of a movie? What movie? It was a movie that Clint Eastwood directed and Kevin Costner was the star, and I don't know the movie. But they needed to do a shot, they needed to do a shoot, and this was basically what I was watching was a video on Clint Eastwood and why he's such a beloved director not actor, but director in Hollywood. It's because he doesn't waste money and he doesn't waste time. And so, knowing that they needed to do a shoot, and so they went to get Costner out of his trailer and Costner's like, yeah, I'll be there in a minute, I've got things I got to take care of Clint Eastwood said, all right, fuck him, go get his double. So he shot it with the double and after they're done shooting it, then Costner comes out and goes, all right, I'm ready to go. Eastwood's like, oh, we already did it.
Speaker 3:Oh my God, what movie was that?
Speaker 2:I'll have to look it up, whatever, whatever Clint Eastwood directed.
Speaker 3:Because I, you know, I would have to go like watch that movie and then try to figure out which scene that was. Uh-huh, yeah, yeah, it's kind of like when you watch the Crow with Brandon Lee and you watch the scene where he was shot and killed Nice outfit.
Speaker 4:I'm not sure about the face, though. I just want him. Well, you can't have him. I just want him. Well, you can't have him. Well, I see you have made your decision.
Speaker 6:Now let's see you enforce it.
Speaker 4:Oh, this is already boring the shit out of me.
Speaker 6:Kill him.
Speaker 4:That had to hurt, Right, you know it's like.
Speaker 3:Ooh, that answer Right. You know it's like boy. Hey, I wonder if they used some of the actual. You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 2:Oh, I thought they used it. They didn't use it.
Speaker 3:I don't think that when he was shot in the stomach, I think that they had to play something else. I don't think they use that actual one, you know. Cause for the family, oh yeah, but it's still really good. You know, it was still a. Really they used a different tape.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 3:Cause the one where he got killed was like the third or fourth or fifth take or something like that. Oh man, good, but it looks, it looks. I, I still, I, you know, I slow mode it and all that stuff. You know I've, you know I've, I've slow mode it and it's like wow.
Speaker 2:I went down the. I went down the same rabbit hole with the exorcist a couple of weeks ago. You know the guy that wrote the exorcist comedian.
Speaker 3:Shut up. Uh-huh, nothing funny about that shit.
Speaker 2:No, no, it was actually based on a real story. He had read it while he was a college student. But yeah, he was, he did sketch comedy.
Speaker 3:It could have been a bet or something like that. You know, like a friend of his, I bet you can't write a you know decent script where a little girl is spitting pea soup.
Speaker 2:No, his, his then girlfriend uh, who he ended up marrying. She was the catalyst to him writing that book. She's like you know your your comedy career. It's kind of stalling. She's like why don't you get back to that book? You're thinking about writing and he did wow, and that was enough, wasn't it? That was it uh, I kept.
Speaker 3:One other movie that I went down the uh rabbit hole was forrest gump. The movie forrest gump tom hanks yeah sure I was shot.
Speaker 3:You know travolta was offered that role as forrest gump. Yes, so he would have shot forrest gump and pulp fiction back to back when they were released in 1994. He would have have had back to back Forrest Gump and Pulp Fiction. Holy cow, can you imagine? No, and he, still to this day, is bums out on it. But he says that you know from what Tom Hanks did with the role. I mean, that's not where he was going.
Speaker 2:You know, it would be really funny, now that we know this is to take some of the line of pulp fiction and put them in for his gum, like if John Travolta mixed up the roles.
Speaker 3:Well, let's do this, then I'm going to. You know, since you do a pretty decent Travolta, I, I, if it's Travolta, you know, I don't know what love is. Yeah, I know I'm not a smart man, but I know what love is. No, I'm not a smart man, but I know what love is. Jenny, how would Travolta have done that?
Speaker 2:I don't know what love is. I'm not a smart man, jenny. Yeah, I know. I just kept running and running, and running. Give me the box of chocolates hey, mr cotter, you know, life's a box of chocolates. You don't know what you're gonna get I love it.
Speaker 3:That's hilarious, kevin. Another little thing I think you'll find interesting when they shot the park bench narration part yes, they did that the whole thing at the very end, and Hanks knew the story so well because he just shot the whole movie that they just let the camera roll.
Speaker 2:That's not scripted, you know they had a script.
Speaker 3:But he would just look at you know each little thing and just be like, okay, I got it, I know. And he would use his own words on how Forrest Gump would do it.
Speaker 2:Crazy.
Speaker 3:And they did it so quick because he knew, you know, first off, he'd been that character for three and a half, four months already, and, second off, he knew the story like the back of his hands yeah, the back of his hands. So he just rattled that off, isn't that crazy?
Speaker 2:That's phenomenal.
Speaker 3:And not only that. Okay, this is funny too is remember the ping pong scene. Yes, it took the longest to shoot. You want to know why?
Speaker 2:Please tell me.
Speaker 3:The real Chinese professional ping pong champion couldn't sync up the motions without the ball. You know, because they shot that without the ball. Sure, you know, because they can't. You know they can't have an actor playing like that, even though the actual pro probably plays that fast, absolutely. But he couldn't sync up, so it took forever. Tom Hanks was great, he had it down, wow, yeah, completely. But they had to keep keep stopping and everything like that up, so it took forever. Tom hanks was great, he had it down. Wow, he had it, he had it completely out, but they had to keep keep stopping and everything like that. And the chinese champion world. He was the chinese world champion. I don't know, I don't know his name. Um, you know, I'm not. I can't remember his name. Yeah, mr pong. Yeah, I mean, he couldn't do it, he just couldn't do it, he just couldn't do it, and finally he just he got it down. Finally he did it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he practiced it enough and he'll eventually come.
Speaker 3:Yeah, cause he would. He was like he was nervous about about working with Tom Hanks too. You check this out. He was a fan in China Cause, you know, at that time bosom buddies at TV show that was huge in China, you know. So he, he, he, he was Kip in that in that show, and so he was the Chinese ping pong player was freaking out that he's playing with the bosom buddies. Guy Kev and I'm going to do this, I'm going to call an audible at the line of scrimmage on our top three today.
Speaker 1:Just when you thought they couldn't count any higher. It's Tuttle Klein's top three.
Speaker 3:You gave me a great idea during this episode when you said that the richest man in Asia, a $600 million wedding. Yeah, if you are the richest man on planet earth, top three things frivolous that you would do with your money, regardless of what the cost would be. I mean this guy what. He hired Justin Bieber to play his son's wedding.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so, okay, so you can read all about this, but yeah, so in March they just got married this past weekend, so in March they had the engagement party and he paid $6 million for Rihanna to come play the engagement party. Then he had 10 million for Justin Bieber to come play the wedding reception. The wedding lasted three days and, tim, this is why you and I would have never been able to go, because the wedding invitations were 50 pages and nine of the pages were exactly how you had to dress for all three days. Nine pages on the dress code Wow, no thanks, I'll send a gift.
Speaker 3:Yeah, people are like weighing it. It's like, oh, it's going to be a good wedding though Justin Bieber. But yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I know. Yeah, all right, so I'm buying frivolous things now, huh, okay.
Speaker 3:You are a, you are a multi. I mean you are Elon Musk money.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:What silly frivolous things will you want done, cause you don't care, what anything costs. Well, I'm going to buy.
Speaker 2:I'm going to buy the Denver Broncos. All right, I'm going to buy the Denver Broncos. All right, I'm going to buy the Denver Broncos and I'm actually going to get some good players in there. Probably, get rid of Sean Payton and bring in a different coach. You don't like Sean Payton. I don't. I don't, didn't like him when he was with the Saints.
Speaker 3:What bothers you about him?
Speaker 2:He's kind of dictatorial, it's his way or no way. And I don't think in this current climate, the way that athletes are, you can't do that. That's why Saban got out. You know, Saban got up. Yeah, Saban got out because NIL and because the transfer portal, because he said now you don't know how to relate to kids.
Speaker 3:Well, you, you know, you don't have to.
Speaker 2:Exactly. Uh yeah, well, and you know you don't have to exactly, uh, yeah well, his was the nil.
Speaker 3:I mean, you know that you, you know back in the day he would get the top one, two and three quarterback, top one, two and three running backs.
Speaker 2:And you know now you can't afford them cash wise yeah, well, because before nil it was you're coming here because you're going to win a championship. Yeah, now it's like you might not win a championship and I ain't paying you.
Speaker 3:Yeah, exactly. So you know, whereas you know Georgia, they got ahead of it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they did.
Speaker 3:Georgia, I mean Georgia. Have you seen their NIL budget?
Speaker 2:No, I haven't.
Speaker 3:It's the gross domestic product of a lot of second world nations.
Speaker 2:Well, hey and it's not just because I'm living here now and I get inundated with the information, but watch out for Missouri over the next couple of years.
Speaker 3:University of Missouri. They got an influx of cash.
Speaker 2:Yeah, there's a lot of hype on University of Missouri, so you know.
Speaker 3:Good. Well, the only problem, though, is, you know, these recruits, we got to go fucking live where. Yeah, that's all I'm saying. That's why. That's why I don't understand, uh, kev, why you know I can get. You know, austin's a great place, so I understand ut. I don't understand, though, why, like the university of miami uh, you know the hurricanes don't get every recruit.
Speaker 2:Yeah, cause you're in Miami.
Speaker 3:Yeah, or or, or. You know how does Pepperdine? Have you ever been there, malibu?
Speaker 2:That's expensive though.
Speaker 3:N I L All right. What were your other two? You got the Broncos in your hand.
Speaker 2:Ever since the year of inception. I'm going to buy a Lamborghini from every year since it was made until now. That's my dream car, man, I love it. Yeah, that's my dream car.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, always has been.
Speaker 2:Always has been.
Speaker 3:I wonder what that would cost. How many years Like 30 years, 40 years?
Speaker 2:Oh geez 50 years?
Speaker 3:How long? Oh no, it's in the sixties. It's in the sixties, because I remember Ferrari. They wanted to compete against Ferrari, and it was something that 60, so 60 years at a. Yeah, Well, that's well. That's nothing, though for you You're a multi-billionaire, you can do that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, lamborghini, he used to work for Ferrari. Yeah, exactly. And he brought Ferrari an idea and Ferrari said, no, that ain't ever going to work.
Speaker 3:He's like, okay, fuck you. Oh, my gosh, you're so silly. All right, let me see. Let's start off Kev. Obviously, I'm going to hire Robert Plant, jimmy Page and John Paul Jones and Jason Bonham, the son of John Bonham. I just want one song. I want them to put together an arrangement for In the Light.
Speaker 2:One song.
Speaker 3:One song. Prices doesn't matter, you know. I mean, yeah, Robert, I know you don't want to do the Zeppelin thing, but there's got to. You've got to have some price right for one song.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, and it's a private performance. You're not inviting anybody, are you?
Speaker 3:No, no, just being some friends so there'll be three people there I was gonna say uh. Second one cab I want to uh, I want to uh, uh. I had the lamborghini idea myself. Okay, but I just want I, I, I want to wreck them okay, well, there you go, so I'll buy them.
Speaker 3:Then you buy them from me and then you go wreck them yeah, like, like, I think it'd be funny as hell, you know, do like evil, kenevil, line, 30 of them up in a row and then use another one to jump and just do shit like that, just completely destructive random. I don't know why, I just think that'd be funny.
Speaker 2:Because it would cause outrage. Yeah, look what this guy's doing to all those beautiful cars. They're costing so much.
Speaker 3:Yeah, Kev. And the third one. I think I've alluded to this before, but if you don't remember I'll bring it up. I'm going to make my own death star and just have it hovering in the atmosphere there you go yeah, and then you know if somebody's just somebody's a dick, if somebody's just a dick and it has it coming, I would just, you know, put in the coordinates of where the dick is, and the Death Star would fire a laser. I'm a fireman ready. No more dick.
Speaker 3:Yeah, no more dick. This world would be a much better behaved world man. Oh, absolutely, a world would be a much better behaved world man. Oh absolutely. This total billionaire guy's got a.
Speaker 2:Death Star floating around.
Speaker 3:You know what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, I guarantee you that politicians would have no problems whatsoever making sure that we had our constitutional rights.
Speaker 2:I'm a fireman ready, so would you be the sole arbiter of the laser fire or would you have a tribunal, Tribunals?
Speaker 3:It seems like a lot of red tape. Kev.
Speaker 2:I like quick action. Okay, so you're the only one with access to the laser.
Speaker 3:Now I promise I won't be a dick about it, I won't use it for abuse or anything like that. I won't abuse the privilege. I mean it's just like you know. Oh, you guys did terrible things and raped and murdered. Okay, well, yeah, sorry, hey officer, don't worry about the handcuffs. Three and officer step back just for a second. Three, two, one.
Speaker 2:There you go. Would that be awesome. Now you don't got to write a report officer. I know you hate doing that.
Speaker 3:I took care of it. Thanks, tim, you're welcome. You're doing a great job. You're doing a great job. You're doing a great job. Here's a coupon for a dozen donuts. Come on, man, would that be cool to have your own Death Star?
Speaker 2:that would be very cool to have your own Death Star.
Speaker 3:I mean, it was uncool for the Empire and Darth Vader to have a Death Star because they're dicks. Right, I'd use my Death Star for good he would be a benevolent Death Star operator.
Speaker 3:The only problem with that though I just thought about it right now, Cam is you can never have a waking hour without somebody coming up and going okay, there's this guy, and you're not going to believe what he did. He ripped me off with this used car, sold me a lemon, Tim, please, Death Star, this motherfucker for me. Uh-huh, I mean, you literally couldn't walk down the street.
Speaker 2:It's Bruce Almighty, it's the Jim Carrey movie, Bruce Almighty, when he wanted to be God and he gets inundated with all the requests.
Speaker 3:Yeah, exactly, I mean, that's the only problem with it.
Speaker 2:So wait, Klein, are you telling me that I would be God? I want that Death Star now.
Speaker 3:I don't want that at all. I don't want that at all. I could do this to alleviate that problem. Though Kev is, I could just have. Hey, listen, we're just going to have Tuesday request day, that's it. And if you request on any other day besides Tuesday, you'll never get your request taken care of. So I would just be like OK, every Tuesday I'm taking requests. Now.
Speaker 2:Well, but you know there's going to be those, those jerks that try and do it outside of regular business hours. So I think the penalty needs to be harsher. You request outside of Tuesday? You're the dick.
Speaker 4:I'm a fireman ready.
Speaker 3:How would you like four million votes in your forehead? Wow, is that awesome, or what?
Speaker 2:This is great, is this?
Speaker 3:the greatest.
Speaker 2:I'm having hypothetical billionaire remorse now.
Speaker 3:Is this the greatest ever I can you imagine? You know, kev, you, you uh, you text me and you go. Oh, we got a local politician here in missouri. You're not believing what this scumbag is doing. No problem, kev, just you know, give me a location yeah, I'm up at midnight.
Speaker 2:I'm up at 11 59 on monday night, just waiting to be the first in line, exactly that would be so funny kev, you're fot friends of tuttle.
Speaker 3:You, you, you nah you got a direct line you know what I was?
Speaker 2:uh, I was brushing my teeth this morning and I was thinking about that because, you know, we, we did not get together last week because of the power situation, and I was thinking I was like you know, and this is like way out of left field, but I'm like man.
Speaker 3:Tim's like one of the perfect friends. I've never been complimented in that way. Usually people are trying to get away from me.
Speaker 2:No, I think about it. Okay, you're like the perfect guy friend. You don't require a lot of attention. Doesn't mean I got to call you every day. Don't even mean I got to text you every day. We don't argue. I prefer that you're not Exactly. I don't have to come over. You don't have to come over. You know we get along. Every time we talk we make each other laugh. Yeah, that's like the perfect friend situation for guys.
Speaker 3:Kevin, and again it just goes into the situation of you know, I am the best guy in the world from a distance.
Speaker 2:That's not true. We're hanging out this week.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, that's right. Wednesday we are doing the Snowdrop Foundation luncheon. Cannot wait the scholarship luncheon. That's going to be a lot of fun.
Speaker 2:Yeah, can I tell you what my lovely wife did? What did your lovely wife do? Oh, my God, dude, she's been sick for three weeks, okay, no, yeah, not like really sick. Okay, like to the point where she's throwing up and coughing, can't swallow. Yeah, throat closing. Yeah, it's been bad. Okay, she's starting to come around. So yesterday she decides that she's not going to be able to go. Perfect, right, she's not going. No, she can't go, there's no way. So she goes on to American Airlines and cancels the flight. See where this is going. She can't fly.
Speaker 3:My flight too, oh, shoot Okay.
Speaker 2:So she, immediately after I tell her this, calls up the airline and the airline says yeah, no, we can't, uh, we can't rebook that for you at the same price. It's going to cost you $500. So she says do you want to do it? And I'm like no, I'm not doing it, I'm not, I'm not spending $900. Total it would have been 900 bucks because we'd already paid 420 and they want to charge us 500.
Speaker 3:So guess who's driving to Houston You're driving Driving to Houston by myself.
Speaker 2:Buddy, awesome, pick me up Great.
Speaker 3:You're going to pick me up, then we're going to save.
Speaker 2:I'm just kidding, so, yeah, yeah. So let me ask you this question. All right, so, to drive, the shortest distance is 663 from Springfield, where we live, to Houston. Okay, the longest is 773. Okay, so it's. I'm sorry, it's a 735. So it's, it's a hundred more miles. Okay, but 40% of the speed limit on that extra 100 miles is 80 miles an hour. So would it be faster to go the extra 100 than it would to go in 45 to 55 zones? Much faster, okay, all right, that's what I was thinking. Much I like that drive, so I'll probably end up doing that.
Speaker 3:Well then I better let you go so you can edit this thing. Get this thing done so you can hit the road. So make sure you all like, follow, download, subscribe, give us a rating.

You gotta respect the office. And no president ever should be shot, should never be shot. That is Not only is that person a human being, fucking president.
Speaker 3:And if you really look at it they are just a figure. You know they're a puppet, yeah. Yeah, they're just, they're just the face. It's the people who got them there that run the country, the money and the people around them that have scripted them all throughout the process.
Speaker 2:We are Americans and it's about damn time we start acting like Americans.
