Ep #25: Trading Mishaps, Olympic Triumphs, and Spirited Debates with Tuttle & Kline
Ever had one of those mornings where a single misstep in your trading strategy turns your day upside down? Join us as Tuttle kicks off our episode with just such a mishap, providing a candid glimpse into the rollercoaster world of trading and the necessity of sticking to your game plan. We then draw a fascinating parallel to Olympic sprinter Noah Lyles, whose steadfast race strategy, even in the face of setbacks, propelled him to greatness. Celebrate with us as we recount the incredible achievements of athletes like Sha'Carri Richardson and Julien Alfred and share our personal connection to Avery Skinner from the US women's volleyball team.
Our conversation takes a thrilling turn as we dive into the high-octane worlds of rugby and hockey, sparking excitement for the 2024 Olympics. We reminisce about how life has changed since the pre-ride-sharing era, noting how Uber and Lyft have revolutionized modern partying. Plus, get a laugh out of our humorous adventure to buy a toaster and the absurdity of being asked for personal information at checkout. Kevin's uncle's golf successes and nostalgic childhood memories of slip-and-slide fun round out a chapter that's as entertaining as it is relatable.
From the intense anger at systemic banking corruption to the light-hearted banter about life's gold medal-worthy moments, we cover it all. Tuttle shares his humorous “Olympic” skills in attracting and losing beautiful women, and we bond over our shared love for bourbon and tequila, offering some spirited recommendations. Don't miss our lively quarterback debate and the innovative concept of "Elevator Grudge Match"—a perfect blend of nostalgia, humor, and insightful reflections that ensures a memorable listen.
Welcome to the Tuttle and Klein Show.
Speaker 2:He is Kevin Klein. What's going on Doing my thing? I messed up so bad this morning. What did you do? I was trading before the cash opened, you know, before the 830 cash opened. Wall Street.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 2:And I was up a lot of money and I was just like, oh, this is great, I'm just going to walk away. And I didn't, and I got it back and not all of it back yet, but I just made some stupid mistakes.
Speaker 3:So I mean yes and no because there's risk involved. But it's not really gambling, is it no?
Speaker 2:no, no, I'm the house. You know I have an edge, you do, and all I have to do is, you know, follow my own rules and I will continuously and regularly make money, you know.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 2:Yeah. I mean I, kev, I, yeah, I. You know I'll have losing days and every so often I'll even have like a losing week here and there. Never a losing month.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 2:You know that's how my edge works. So as long as I'm like, not doing stupid things, gambling trades like oh, I have a funny feeling we're going down right now. I'm just going to jump in on a short no stick to your program, your rules, what you back tested, forward tested and what has continuously worked for you for over two years now. You know.
Speaker 3:It's exactly what they said about Noah Lyles the other day when he won the 100-meter in the Olympics. He always gets off to a slow start. As a matter of fact, even in the finals, in the first 30 meters he was in dead last. And they said the man never panics and he just sticks to his race plan, and that is in the last 40 meters he's going to be the strongest runner out there. And sure enough it was. So yeah, you just got to trust your plan.
Speaker 2:Yeah, exactly, I mean, just as long as I do that, as long as I'm a robot, I just unemotional robot, you know when I have the losses and you know 40% of the time sometimes even 50% of the time I'm I'm gonna lose, but my winners are bigger than my losers, so I'm profitable.
Speaker 3:Yep, so yeah, yeah just stick to the plan.
Speaker 2:You know, stick to the plan speaking of uh olympics, like should we just get into it?
Speaker 3:oh, it's totally up to you. I mean whatever you want to do um shikari.
Speaker 2:Uhcarri Richardson had that same game plan. You know she just starts off and does her own thing, but she could not catch the very first medalist in the history of St Lucia.
Speaker 3:Yeah, Julianne, Alfred, the woman is just a blistering speed demon on the track. And you know what? Even in the semifinals, I knew Sha'Carri wasn't going to win that race. I knew she wasn't going to win that race.
Speaker 2:I knew she wasn't going to win that race. You could tell by the look in Aldridge's eyes. Yeah.
Speaker 3:That nothing she was not going to leave Paris without a gold medal around her neck. Well, and just the amount of distance that she put between her and second place in her semifinal heat and she shut it down. She shut it down at 80 meters.
Speaker 2:yeah, that was a dominant performance, dominant performance I love it, I'm getting, I'm getting into the olympics like like I haven't in a while. So I, yeah, I mean, I'm like. I mean one of the reasons is, you know, I I like saw somebody that's in the Olympics. I saw her grow up, avery Skinner from the US women's volleyball team. I mean she was at Houston Skyline, you know, with Audrey. Yeah, her younger sister, maddie Skinner, played with Audrey for years on the same club team. They're best friends, they're roommates and everything like that. So it's just kind of neat seeing Avery, who I can remember. When Audrey was, you know, 13 years old and we walked in there and Avery was 15 years old and just watching her hit and listening to how that sounded off the ball, it was completely different and just like everybody like looking over the court going okay, that sounds different.
Speaker 3:Uh-huh. So yeah, I was going to ask you. I mean, can you tell when they're on the court that there is a different skill level there?
Speaker 2:Absolutely, kev. You absolutely know, yeah, you know. And her sister too, who never really played volleyball, was into gymnastics and then suddenly was on Audrey's team for four teens and you could tell her too that Maddie Skinner was going to be a monster. You know, at that time, 6'1, already at the age of 14, with unbelievable athletic ability and jumping ability. I mean, she's touching 10-2 on a one-step jump. You know 10-3, 10-4, 10-5. You know what I'm saying, yeah, yeah, you just know. And that's what it became too is just like hey, you know our go to, we're going to do this little flip out to Maddie and she's going to get a few points in a row and Houston Skyline is going to win and everybody's going to be happy.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you were talking about the sound that that Avery makes when she hits the volleyball.
Speaker 2:It's the same thing in high school and college baseball. You just have to listen to the sound and you know who's throwing hard on the mound and who who's a more of finesse pitcher. Yeah, you know, you can hear things where it's different and you can see things which is different, like, like, like kev. But you know, I I don't know if I told you this, not you know, just growing up and watching the indy 500, you know, in indianapolis you could just tell, you know, from your view, if you're up high watching them all drive like who is more aggressive and who is better, you know who takes more aggressive lines, who has, you know, maybe even a little bit better car. You know people like Rick Mears. You just watch them and they look different. It's like, okay, that's aggression, that's a different line. That guy's weaving in and out. I mean, it's just a matter of time before he catches the pack and he wins the race.
Speaker 2:You know, Dale Earnhardt had that too.
Speaker 3:Big E or Lily Big E yeah, he was a competitor man. No-transcript. The skills of the other guy that you can't stand oh yeah.
Speaker 2:And as soon as he passed away, I I missed him and I I my. My interest in nascar waned from that. That point on. I just you know yeah, there's no dale here anymore. You need to have a foil. You gotta have a bad guy. That's why I've been successful. You gotta have the villain. It can't be all sunshine and lollipops.
Speaker 3:You gotta have that one dick you know okay, yeah, well, I mean, look at your favorite line in Scarface.
Speaker 2:You need people like me so you can point your fucking fingers. I say that's the bad guy. You're not going to see a bad guy like this one again.
Speaker 3:So you were talking about watching a lot of the Olympics. Did you watch the shooting?
Speaker 2:The shooting a little bit of it. I mean obviously the Turkish guy who's become a legend.
Speaker 3:now Dude.
Speaker 2:I love that he doesn't have any of that eye gear at all or whatever. He's just like lift it and go baby Yep.
Speaker 3:But what was funny to me is that you know they're calling him an assassin, they're calling him a hitman, and it got me thinking about. You know what if Joe Pesci was told by the target go get your shoebox. Shine, boy yeah yeah, yeah. That would be hilarious. Yeah, de Niro, you talking to me.
Speaker 2:You talking to me? You're talking to me target. Yeah, exactly, you know these, these, uh, these gangsters they're just hey, move over to the side. Turkish guy. Uh, hold on a second, hold my stromboli. Uh, I gotta hit this fucking target here and then get out of here. I gotta go collect some numbers on the east side right, exactly.
Speaker 3:I mean, yeah, that's what. That was where my mind went when I saw the turkish guy hand in pocket regular glasses, just boom bulls, like I think he meddled. I think he got like a silver medal yeah, I got a silver medal.
Speaker 2:But you know, and again your mind carries you away, because you're watching that and you're going. You know, know, that's all well and good. What if somebody's shooting at you though? Right, are you going to be all calm and cool lifting that thing up? I mean, let's really add to the competition here.
Speaker 3:Yeah, exactly, have you watched? Have you seen Snoop Snoop Dogg? Yeah of course. Oh my God dude, Is he the coolest, or what?
Speaker 2:Kev. It is so awesome to me because you know, when we were growing up, snoop is our contemplator when we were growing up. You know, snoop, yeah, that's a bad guy right there, that's a villain. Yeah, you know, he was on trial for murder and stuff like that and murder was the case that they gave him Death Row Records, yeah, and murder was the case that they gave him death row records. Yeah, he's a shook night guy and everything and he was like like somebody, like you know, that was the bad guy, the villain like we've we've talked about, and now he's just become like america's teddy bear absolutely.
Speaker 2:Oh, trish loves him oh, he's great, he just he's, he's real.
Speaker 3:yeah, he Yep Very much so.
Speaker 2:And when you're real in the world we live in and you don't give a fuck about what people think of you or say about you. I mean that's a potent combination in the political correct world we're in. So anybody that can embrace that and can get away with that Charles Barkley gets away with it and the South park guys get away with it you know very few individuals and entities get away with it and I just love that that element is still there. I mean, they're they're just uncancellable people.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and what's funny is did you ever think you would see Snoop dog going to a dressage competition and walking away loving it?
Speaker 2:Kev, he's giving dabs and hugs and stuff to gymnasts. I'm like what is going on here?
Speaker 3:That's been a really fun part of the Olympics to watch is Snoop Dogg's interaction.
Speaker 2:I love that. That's a nice little element right there. It beats being bored to tears by Bob Costas. It really does.
Speaker 3:Yeah, he's been. He's been gone for a long, long time.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but yeah, I mean you know the U S hoops, I mean watching our hoop team. I've enjoyed that. I mean just, you know, there, there there were. There were some struggles before while they were gelling and everybody was talking about you know they're going to get beat. No, no, you're not going to beat that team.
Speaker 3:No, if they're on and they know what's going on, yeah for sure.
Speaker 2:They got. They have so many people and they just have to find which guy gets hot. Like, like the first game, it was Durant, he got hot, wasn't missing anything. And then Edwards, you know, in the most recent game, I mean, they get hot.
Speaker 3:Dude, do you like how the media tries to cause derision and divisiveness on the team? When Steve Kerr didn't start Kevin Durant, they asked him you know what did you feel about not starting today? He's like five guys get to start and every one of these people are starters on this team. Yeah, somebody's going to have to sit.
Speaker 2:Why not me? It doesn't matter exactly. The media is just, they're just evil man. It's crazy. It's just you. Just you know I'm not. I don't want to get started, I don't want to get, I want to keep positive cab okay, we'll keep positive then um let me tell you this cab. I've changed my position on something watching the Olympics. What is that? What have you changed your position on? Well, beach volleyball.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Man, it's just soft core porn it is. These women are so talented and so good Body control, leaping ability, moving around teammates with each other but nobody sees that.
Speaker 3:What do we see?
Speaker 2:Look what they're wearing.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I mean that's wow. I mean you know now that my daughter's that age and she played that, played beach volleyball. I want those girls to cover up, damn it yeah.
Speaker 3:Hey, the other day I was talking to a guy who used to be a sand hauler. Okay, so he would like fill the dump truck with sand and take it over. He said that that sand that they play volleyball on is the most expensive sand in the world.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, it is so fine.
Speaker 3:He said it's like powder.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I remember I was, um, you know Manhattan beach in LA and and uh, where they where they play the real big, uh, organized tournaments and everything like that. I was like everything like that. I was like, wow, this stuff is, it's just so beautiful, yeah, but yeah, it's still. It's still to this day. It's so hard to jump in it.
Speaker 3:Oh, I can't jump in sand.
Speaker 2:I don't know how they do it. I don't know how they do it. You got to have some ups, yeah, you got to have some ups, but yeah, I mean, you know you, you you're not going to have those high flying. You know the spikes and hits that you have on a court. I mean it's a much more strategic game in the sand.
Speaker 3:Well, and aren't you really just looking for them to dive and roll around in the sand and get all oily?
Speaker 2:Audrey's 23. I knew it, she played beach volleyball and, who knows, she may get a wild hair and decide to go back into beach volleyball sometime and I do not want it to be about that, okay, so cease with that shit. Yeah, but the Olympics are great, man, I'm, I'm, I'm into it, I am, and and. Again. I want to thank the Olympics for getting me into rugby, because I spend a lot of time watching rugby highlights and stuff. Now it's really, really good. I had the boys this weekend and Dallas was getting into it. He's like this is a cool game, dad.
Speaker 3:It is a very cool game. It's a great game.
Speaker 2:Of course, dallas doesn't sound like that anymore. Dallas was it's a cool game, dad. It's really cool. Hey Dad, this is a cool game.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I mean it's got all the hitting of football without the stoppage time, you know, and the ball is constantly moving.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so it's.
Speaker 2:Cav, it's better than football Really. It's better than football really. It's better than it's better than america rugby as a game. In terms of excitement and lack of downtime and everything like that, it is a more exciting game. I'm trying to think of any game that's more, that may be the most exciting game in the world in terms of continuous go, go, go, go. Uh, continuous ball movement. I mean you, when do you go up and when you get a bathroom break when you're watching a rugby match in the stadium?
Speaker 3:When you can't, no, but what about hockey? Hockey is great, man, hockey is awesome, yeah, so we got our summer sport in rugby, we got our winter sport in hockey. That's totally cool.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so I'm loving that, that's. I want to thank the 2024 olympics for introducing me to that. I'm so in now. It's unbelievable. I'm even looking at some uh, you know, professional rugby jerseys. You know, just going all in on it, you know well, you should get a saber cats jersey.
Speaker 3:I can help you with that, you know we talked about the saber, saber cats last week. You know one of the things in in. I've talked about this with Struan, who's one of the head office guys over at the Sabercats, and it's just about an education. You know, people don't know the rules of rugby and that's why they don't. In America we don't gravitate towards it. We know the rules of football, but if you did take time to learn the rules in rugby, you would be amazed.
Speaker 2:Yeah, oh, it's, I have, and it's really cool. Yeah, I mean, it's a well thought out game. You know I love the concept that you cannot pass forward, right, and that really adds something to it. And you know you can kick forward, but you, you know you're kicking a weird ball and you got to be very accurate even with the bounce, otherwise the other team gets, gets it, and possession is everything in rugby.
Speaker 3:Totally, it is everything.
Speaker 2:Everything. So, kev, it's a great, great game and you know I have no affiliation with the Sabercats at all, but I would say that you should put that on your to-do list to watch the Houston Sabercats play some ball.
Speaker 3:Cool. Yep, I'll pass that along, got it.
Speaker 2:Um, hey, hey, Kev, I was. You know I can't help. Um, you know when I'm, when I'm at the pool. I was at the pool with the boys on Saturday and I don't know some, maybe a mid twenties, uh, you know, early twenties. Uh, kids came in and they were having, you know they're they were talking about, you know, Friday night, the night before, and I'm just listening to their stories and I'm like Jesus man, millennials and Gen Z um, they have such an easy life, uh, so spoiled, uh, in terms of the party scene, because of uber and lyft oh yeah, that would made it a hell of a lot easier do you remember our days?
Speaker 2:I mean when we partied? Uh, we didn't always make it home at night no, no and and there and there you are. You're stuck looking for like a three foot by six foot piece of carpet that you can maybe catch a couple of Z's at 4 am until the sun comes out, or something like that. It's completely there. It's so crazy, but it may have saved my life, though, kev.
Speaker 3:What might've saved your life Uber and Lyft.
Speaker 2:Not having Uber and Lyft?
Speaker 3:Oh, not having yeah.
Speaker 2:I can't even imagine how much I would have drank Exactly If I started the night knowing some guy named Phil was going to pull up at about 3 am in a Camry with two cold bottles of water. It probably saved my life.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, it definitely would have cut down on a lot of uh miners of possessions that some of my friends got yeah, like me, like you, yeah, like me.
Speaker 2:I would love. Yeah, it probably would have saved me thousands in bail money and lawyer fees yeah, and your dad would have enjoyed his trip to europe, damn it damn, it still bothers. The shit out of me, kevin klein yeah, but you, you didn't do, you didn't do too much, but you were.
Speaker 3:You were like a dedicated athlete in high school yeah, I did not do a lot of partying at all, nope nope, see, you know, to me athletics was secondary partying was a sport and and and uh.
Speaker 2:Academics was third area.
Speaker 3:The ladies were one area.
Speaker 2:Yeah, ladies and partying were one area and that has been the story of my life and the problem with my life.
Speaker 3:No, there's no problems. Do you enjoy life? Do you enjoy life? I do, there's no problem.
Speaker 2:I do, you know, and then, and whatever happened to us before makes us who we are now, Absolutely. So there you go. Yeah, Uh, Kev I. I was in, uh, uh, one of the big box stores. Uh, this weekend I need a new toaster. I've had the same toast. I toast every day. I'm a toast guy okay, yeah like. Like you know, I have a peanut butter and toast.
Speaker 2:I love those peanut butter toast sandwich, you know, put some honey on it too, some local honey yeah and I do that, you know, you know, and dallas loves toasted waffles, so that that toaster gets a workout. So it kind of fried out. I got a new one what'd you get? I, I don't know, I don't know the brand of it okay I? I all I know is I'm going up there and I'm going to pay and, uh, they want my address for what?
Speaker 2:that's what I said. I'm like I'm buying this toaster, I'm not adopting it, or something like that. What are you? I'm not giving you my address. And then they're like well, you know, you want to buy the warranty and I'm like on a toaster, you know, I'm gonna be kind of crazy. I think I can absorb this one.
Speaker 2:I'll absorb the risk on this one exactly I, I probably will regret it at the end, but you know, when this, when this $29, when I'm out of it, I'm out of it, I'm you know, and how long did your other one last? Kev. I, I five, six years.
Speaker 3:You don't have a warranty for six years Exactly.
Speaker 2:I mean, if it breaks down, like right away, I'll just bring it back on the receipt and you guys are going to give me a new one, yeah. But you know, after a year, year and a half in, I've got my usage on it. I'm cool with it. I don't need to get a warranty. I just think they wanted, for some reason they really wanted my personal information badly.
Speaker 3:But what would they do with it? I mean, why do they need that on a toaster? Are you kidding? Kev? Data is oh yeah, no yeah. Matthew McConaughey tells us If AI is the.
Speaker 2:Wild West. Does that make data the new gold? Huh, you know. Just think about this. There's a dossier on every human being on planet Earth, you know, based on anything you've ever searched for, anything, you've ever bought anything you've ever typed into your keyboard. That is all data. And once they have a profile of you, then they can really hit you with targeted advertising to get you to buy things. Absolutely, I know For sure Plus they can figure out whether they should be targeting you for other things too. Yeah, exactly?
Speaker 3:Do you uh in in boy? I'm sure you have thoughts on this. Do you think they listen? Do you think there's somebody out there listening to us? Absolutely Not right now, but, like Tim, it's unbelievable. Trish and I'll be driving and we'll start talking about a subject. She'll open her phone. There's advertisements for the shit we're talking about.
Speaker 2:Everything, dude, everything, I mean, yeah, you know, anything that you have in terms of a device is listening to you. Hell, there's the dishwashers. Your TV is too you a tax break. Yeah, exactly your data, yep and information on you. And yeah, I mean. And then the NSA, I mean it's even been proven that they look for keywords so they can zone in and investigate you, oh, do we? Know what those keywords are, so that we don't, if you start talking silly shit, like you want your freedom.
Speaker 3:Oh, that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2:You believe in the Constitution. You know you just want to be left alone. Don't tread on me. Come and take it. Yeah Well, there, my screen just lit up. Right now it's going bonkers. Now it looks like a fucking pinball machine.
Speaker 3:There's a knock at the front door.
Speaker 2:Yeah, knock at the front door. Yeah, knock at the front door. You want freedom. Who do you think you are? William Wallace? Freedom, freedom yeah, exactly, come with me, mr Tuttle. I haven't done anything wrong. Where's your warrant? We don't need fucking warrants anymore. Fuck your little warrant. Seriously, though, man, I mean everything. Everything is being listened to.
Speaker 3:Absolutely. It's that's. I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of that. I wouldn't want to be the one listening in.
Speaker 2:People are boring. That would be terrible. Can you imagine? Oh my God, people suck. Hey, listen, phil. We just want to make sure that you're here for 10 straight hours and if anybody says the words Kamala sucks you immediately, let us know so we can swat them. You know what I'm saying? Poor Phil, you know the shit that he has to listen to?
Speaker 3:Exactly that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:And the buffet was so great I went back three times. I had some eggs and waffles and then fruit and Phil's going. Oh my God, this sucks. No, I don't even think they listen in. I think that the computer just signals when keywords are set.
Speaker 3:Yeah Well, it would be more efficient.
Speaker 2:Exactly. They'll just be like hey, you know? Okay, those combinations of words were uttered in Omaha, nebraska, seven minutes ago. Let's zone in.
Speaker 3:Yeah, because if a real person was sitting there listening, the banality of conversation would cause them to. It would, and the turnover in that job would be tremendous.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, a lot of suicide rate too. I was thinking that same thing.
Speaker 3:I can't do it anymore.
Speaker 2:We lost another one, Dave. You're the happiest person in the world yeah, we just fished him out of his garage, had the engine on. Hey, kev, you were saying um, you were saying um that your uncle yeah, kevin kevin only has one relative that, uh, listens to our podcast and it bums Kevin out. It's like, hey, what's wrong with you guys? Why don't you support me? But your uncle does, and he counts for a lot.
Speaker 3:He does yeah.
Speaker 2:And we were talking about him last week. He was wanting to remind you. Hey, there is one family member listening to this podcast.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and we got talking about his golf game game and I messed up a couple of the stats. Okay, so here's the clarification. He did text us afterwards. He's been to Q school once, finished towards the bottom, said he just blew up and was bad that day. He won the member member at his country club 10 years ago and repeated this year, so it wasn't back to back. And then you asked him what his handicap is Eight, eight he's an eight handicap.
Speaker 2:Yeah, okay, all right, so he'll shoot high 70s correct yeah, he'll shoot high 70s. They have the occasional, you know, 82, 83 when he's not rolling the rock really well there you go so, and he said he would love to love to tee it up with us sometime oh sweet, all right so there's the update uh, hey, kev, I was uh, um, doing my cardio on, uh, I think, thursday night or something like that, and you gotta love it and I haven't seen one of these in a long time.
Speaker 3:You remember when we were kids we had the slip and slide oh yeah god, I loved the slip and slide that was a plastic sheet that you would lay out on the lawn, put a sprinklerler over it and you would just slide all day.
Speaker 2:All day and then just slide far and we would practice our baseball slides Kev. I think I would do like the Pete Rose headfirst slide like 400 times in a row, just so I could be ready for the next game you know, that does not surprise me.
Speaker 2:I loved it. But I was going by this guy, this dad, and he had like not only his kids but like the neighborhood kids too. I loved it, but I, you know, I was going by this guy, had this dad and he had like not only his kids but like the neighborhood kids too, I mean they. You know, once and once you're in a residential area and somebody whips out the slip and slide, suddenly you're the most popular house.
Speaker 3:Absolutely.
Speaker 2:And he, you know, he, you could tell he had just laid it out, got things going and these kids are going ah, oh, they're in pain as they're doing the slip and slide, Like four or five of them go as I'm coming up on them and he's like what the hell's going on? What's going on? And they're pointing to like spots and stuff. I was like, hey, dad, you forgot to do the rock check, didn't you? I knew right away, because I'd seen that before, it looks like a scene from like a war movie. Just, you know, just a bunch of pain and people just like they're getting shot. You know Right.
Speaker 3:Because that's what it feels like, I'm sure.
Speaker 2:It feels like you're getting shot. You've done it, Kev. You've done the slip and slide. If there's a rock or something under there, it's like getting shot. Yeah.
Speaker 3:It does not feel good.
Speaker 2:And the first three kids. They get shot, so to speak. And you just know. And he didn't. He was a younger dad, he probably himself had never experienced the slip and slide. He just maybe heard about it or saw it. You know, on sale at some 99 cents or something like that. Said, they all heard about these.
Speaker 3:Let's try these no, you gotta sweep for landmines, princess diana exactly, exactly he.
Speaker 2:Just he just laid out the slip and slide and didn't check the surface. And you know he's probably facing two or three lawsuits from the neighborhood kids, parents yeah, he's ruined them on the slip and slide forever oh yeah, there's some that will never do it again.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, it's like. It's like one of the most fun little speed buzzes any kid that can ever get, and you know it's much better than them just having a face in the screen all day, for sure. And and a kid gets shot, uh, one time, the first time. You know the the rock and he, he's done, she's done.
Speaker 3:They suffer from PTSD post-traumatic slip-and-slide disorder.
Speaker 2:Exactly, and you know we're just concerned about our slip-and-slide veterans.
Speaker 3:We are, we are.
Speaker 2:We want to make sure they're okay. Klein and I are going to start a new charity. It's slip and slide bets. Some of our young ones six, seven, eight, nine years old. I mean they'll just never have a good life.
Speaker 3:Never, never. They're scarred, wow yeah.
Speaker 2:And you know, as I'm walking away, he's like, oh my God he goes. Thank know he we, as I'm like walking away, he's like oh my God, he goes. Thank you so much for like being in the right place at the right time. It would have taken me a long time to figure out what was going wrong. Right, I was like no, I got a funny feeling. One of the kids would have said there's fucking rocks down here.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, they are not going to be shy about that. All right, kev, let's do uh an episode, and I've gotten some um messages about this.
Speaker 3:People love the be honest be honest, be honest um, if sand volleyball, beach volleyball changed the women's uniforms to cover more, be honest, would you watch?
Speaker 2:kev, I have to admit, as you're, as you're channel surfing, it's an immediate stopper. There you go, I mean dead in the tracks, I don't, I don't give a shit if you know. It was just commercials on another channel and good fellas was on or something like that.
Speaker 2:You're stopping right there yeah yeah, I just want to see if the italian team has what it takes to push themselves through this, this tough challenge. You know I've heard a lot about the skills from this spanish team. I just want to see if they have really what it takes to get on the medal stand. You know exactly what's all the hype. What is all this about?
Speaker 2:here, hold on, hold on. I'm gonna press pause real quick. I'm gonna, I'm gonna go get some popcorn pop. I'll be right back. Yeah, it, yeah. It's tough to skate away from it, man, yeah, yeah, and I'm just laughing because the camera angles are always perfect.
Speaker 3:Aren't they though.
Speaker 2:For some reason, the director really seems to take pride in the coverage of that sport.
Speaker 3:Yes, what about you? I don't watch it now, so probably not, you never.
Speaker 2:you never watched beach volleyball.
Speaker 3:I have watched it, but I mean it's not, like you know, tops on my list. If it's on, and and you know I'm just sitting around, then I would watch it. But no, I don't go out of my way to search for it.
Speaker 2:See back when we were kids in the 80s, it was a really cool sport too. Like remember Karch Karai.
Speaker 3:That was the first name that came to my mind when you just said it.
Speaker 2:He's actually the head coach of the US women's volleyball team, by the way.
Speaker 3:Is he really? Yes, he is.
Speaker 2:Karch Karai. I remember him and gosh, he had that one, whoever his partner was, and they would win everything in terms of beach volleyball and it was a big. It was such a big sport. They had a movie called Side Out.
Speaker 3:Yeah, oh, they were untouchable.
Speaker 2:With Peter Horton and C Thomas Howell the movie Side Out. But yeah, they were untouchable, they just they won everything.
Speaker 3:Everything and wasn't. Walsh was our big female player from the last Olympics.
Speaker 2:Yeah, misty May.
Speaker 3:Misty May.
Speaker 2:Yeah, kev, that is such a. That was such an attractive game to me. I was actually thinking, man, I'll transition from basketball to beach volleyball. That looks like a lifestyle, that looks like the way to go.
Speaker 3:That would be a perfect sport for you.
Speaker 2:Oh, I would have loved it. I would have loved it. I just you know again, kev, there's a lot of things I think about doing that I just don't end up pulling the trigger. That's me. I'm Walter Mitty. My life and my imagination is much better than my real life. If I could only live the life I daydream about, kev, that would just be fantastic.
Speaker 3:I think we all would feel that way though.
Speaker 2:That's so funny. That's so funny. All right, kev, be honest. Yes, are there things that make you so angry that it causes an internal rage that is probably unhealthy for you.
Speaker 3:Absolutely there is absolutely.
Speaker 2:What kind of things cause you internal rage?
Speaker 3:cruelty to animals. Cruelty to children I'm the. I'm the same boat, I. Cruelty to children I'm the same boat. Oh my God, tim, shit like that keeps me up at night, man.
Speaker 2:I can't even read it, I can't even listen to it. I can't, because it completely changes my entire disposition. Yep, I mean, I could come in and I could be the happiest dude in the world and then I'll look at my phone, or something like that, and I'll see something about. You know, somebody hurt a kid and I was just like I'll immediately 180. Yeah, I'll immediately 180. Uh, you know that, that, just that. That, that's just enough. Or you know, there there's another one too, and I I I shouldn't have watched, I watched it, I watched it and just finished it.
Speaker 3:Last night, the big short watched it, I watched it and just finished it last night.
Speaker 2:The Big Short, the movie yeah, it's a movie about the subprime mortgage financial collapse in 2008, where the United States taxpayer, we had to bail out billions to the tune of billions and billions of dollars. These bankers who just took that money and decided to give themselves large bonuses instead of doing the right thing, Just and that, just that just enraged me. I mean I'm just, I hate fucking bankers. I do, I hate them. I mean they are some of the most evil of evil, because they knew the whole time they were doing that subprime mortgage, those CDOs and those piece of shit over leveraged things back in 2006, 2007, 2008. They knew that it was going to collapse and they knew that they would be able to lobby to make sure the taxpayer got hit with the bill. Damn, and it just, it angers me. None of them went to prison. None of them.
Speaker 3:None.
Speaker 2:And you could have literally taken armored trucks or whatever paddy wagons up Wall Street and just loaded them up with these evil fuckers and and sent them to prison, but it never happened. So that's something that really enrages me so where?
Speaker 3:where are you at then? On the likes of, like, bernie madoff he's a piece of shit, man okay, all right, so he am enrages you too well, not, not to that point.
Speaker 2:I mean he just screwed over certain people like kevin bacon and other people who invested in his fund.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you ran a Ponzi scheme.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he ran a Ponzi scheme. I don't think that he had a bailout.
Speaker 3:No, he didn't have a bailout. I'm just talking about the absolute scamming of people.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean you're just. I mean not as much because I wasn't scammed personally. Okay, you know, but obviously he's a piece of shit that that will be buggered by Hitler and in hell for eternity and that's that's between him and Satan. You know what? What's going to happen to him, yeah, and what, and what's going to happen to these bankers. But you know, the banker thing is they never suffered anything. You know, bernie Madoff, his life ended, he's in prison for the rest of his life. Right at anything. You know, bernie Madoff, his life ended, he's in prison for the rest of his life. Right, these bankers still have their yachts. They still, you know, they party at Martha's Vineyard and on the Hamptons and stuff like that. They have their helicopters and private planes and everything like that and they laugh at what they got away with and they laugh at cheese balls like us who are just trying to make it on a day-to-day basis and I hate that. But in a nutshell, they scammed the public.
Speaker 3:Oh my God.
Speaker 2:That's why I brought up the correlation to Madoff. Yeah, yeah, they, they, they knew what they were doing and didn't give a fuck because they, they knew that they can't collapse. They're too big to fail. The entire, the entire economic system would have gone. I mean, would have gone. Dark ages, oh, capitalism as we know it would have ended that day. Okay, and they knew that. They were like hey, they knew it. And they got all these billions and billions of dollars in tax funds, to quote unquote give them liquidity and bail them out. And they chose that quarter. Well, we're doing better than I thought we were. Let's give ourselves bonuses. Wow, you just, you know, you just want to choke somebody like that, you know.
Speaker 3:Yeah, where's the conscience you?
Speaker 2:know there's none man, it's all about money. They're, they're. They're living for the this life because obviously they don't give a fuck what happens in the next life, when they're a dung beetle yeah right, yep. Just when you thought they couldn't count any higher.
Speaker 3:It's tunneling clients top three yeah, I want to play off the olympic theme here. Okay, top three olympic life events that you would win gold in. I don't know if I do, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, if this life event were an Olympic event, you would win gold.
Speaker 2:Oh well, kev, you obviously know this. I would win the gold medal in attracting and being with some of the most beautiful women you can imagine and then losing them.
Speaker 3:Yeah, see, if you were asked, if you were to ask me to give you an example, that would have been my example for you. That would have easily been my example for you.
Speaker 2:I mean I, you know, I, I, I could show you pictures of who I've been with and you'd be like damn dude. And then it's like, yeah, that one went seven years, that one went went two years, that one went a year on and off.
Speaker 3:you know, I'm saying I know exactly what you're saying, sir.
Speaker 2:Yes, sir so that would be uh number one gold medal. Uh number two um bitching about uh what a driver just did, and it's something that I had just done three miles ago. I'm really good at that yeah and I gotta give dallas credit. Dallas, ride shotgun with me now okay he will be very quick to point that out. He's really good at that. He's going Dad, you don't let the other guy in. About three or four miles ago I thought, oh, I'm like. Thanks, mr Literal.
Speaker 3:Exactly.
Speaker 2:I was going to take you guys to Freddy's for some burgers, but you know, dallas blew it for you, timmy.
Speaker 3:Yeah, not anymore, buddy. Third one Let me see.
Speaker 2:Not anymore, buddy. Third one, let me see. Third one I'd get a gold medal for is Kev. I got to tell you I have upped my grilling game like it's nobody's business. I make a succulent and juicy chicken. My ribeyes are the best ribeyes you can eat. Ribeyes are the best ribeyes you can eat. So yeah, I would be the best chicken and ribeye griller, gold medalist internationally instantly.
Speaker 3:Are these?
Speaker 2:secrets that you can share, or is this like proprietary information? It's, I don't know what to tell you because everything's by feel. I'm an artist.
Speaker 3:OK, wow, beautiful.
Speaker 2:Love it. It's like I'm like when you know, you know, you know time to flip it, Time to add a little bit of more marinade. Let's juice this right here. I mean, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3:Yeah, oh yeah, that's a great feeling.
Speaker 2:And yeah, that's me. I'm just like I can't tell you exactly what I just did for the past 15 minutes to give you this succulent, mouthwatering experience you're having right now.
Speaker 3:Nicely done, sir.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I would have to say those three are probably my gold medal areas. I got a lot of silver medal stuff, but those are my gold.
Speaker 3:No, those are solid gold medal events for you.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah. I would like to be a gold medalist, though, and getting beautiful woman and keeping her. That'd be great. Actually, cab, I've come to the conclusion that I am not somebody that should be in a relationship.
Speaker 3:There's, my dad tried to warn me of it, yeah and I I didn't listen, so oh yeah, last week you introduced us to a new girl. Uh, how is new girl? Oh, that's okay, all right, yeah, still looking for a new girl no, no, I'm not looking at all man oh, okay that's the funny, I'm not looking at all.
Speaker 2:I mean, no, you know, if something happens, it happens organically, that's great, right. You know, if cupid zero hits me in the cereal section of kroger when somebody's walking in the other direction, great.
Speaker 3:Otherwise I have no interest in looking dude, have you ever picked up somebody in the in the grocery store? Yeah, yeah really yeah, yeah, yeah, it's impressive why well, I just to be able to go up to a stranger in a grocery store and talk and actually kev.
Speaker 2:As jonah said, dad's, my dad's got serious riz, see, and that's. That's a funny thing. You know people have asked me. You know, yeah, how do you I mean especially timmy, you're getting a little older, how are you still able to get these? You know young, beautiful women, it's like because I go and ask. You know, a lot of people are intimidated by very beautiful women, not me, I don't know. I'll go figure out something to say to them, yeah, and then, once you like, talk to them, you know immediately whether it's going to be a yes or no. You know what I'm saying. Ok, they'll give you the sign and you know if I'm annoying the fuck out of them. Or you know they're obviously taken and have no interest. I'll, you know I'll back off.
Speaker 3:OK, but you said they'll give you a sign. Is the sign as obvious as like Captain Ever Ready bringing the final furlong in on the airplane with two cones in his hand, or is it something more subtle than that?
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, it's very, very obvious.
Speaker 3:Really.
Speaker 2:They'll continue talking to you. Okay, They'll look. They'll do the up and down look and after they do the up and down, look if they're looking you in the eyes. That's that.
Speaker 3:you're on a, you're in a go, You're in a green light situation, you know, or if they start playing with their hair. Oh, that's a, that's a telltale sign, dead giveaway, dead giveaway.
Speaker 2:They start playing with their hair is that nervous energy a little bit of that. Or they just want to make sure that you know they think that their hair is right, or whatever yeah yeah, yeah, that. That that's when you know, okay, and you'll also get those ones where they'll immediately just say, hey, you're cute, but I'm with somebody.
Speaker 3:Oh, okay.
Speaker 2:So they'll let you know, which is basically telling you hey, if it doesn't work out with the dude I'm with right now and I see you around, please come back and do the same approach, uh-huh, which I have a memory bank of.
Speaker 3:And when that happens, what is your reaction?
Speaker 2:Oh, he's a lucky guy. Oh okay, he is a really, really lucky guy. It looks like he hit the jackpot.
Speaker 3:Best of luck to you too. Nice, Nice.
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah, yeah. So yeah, that's the thing. There's nothing really special about me. I mean I'm okay looking, but I'm getting older. You know nothing really special about me. I mean I'm okay looking, but I'm getting older. Yeah, but I, I just my thing is is I'm a little, I'm a fine If I see somebody that I'm gonna try, I'm gonna find out.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 2:And then it's just a numbers game, yeah, you know. Then it's just you know, you'll, you'll, you'll, you'll, even if you bat. Even if you bat, you know one, 80, hey, 18 times out of 100, you're getting the digits, you know, yeah, yeah. So what about you? What are your three gold medal events? Kevin Kline, worrying, I don't know. You and my daughter, Audrey, would be very close in that one. Audrey worries she's a little bit of a. Well, she's gotten much better of it, particularly since she started her hype girl podcast.
Speaker 3:Uh huh.
Speaker 2:But you know she's she's always been a worrier, always, you know, has anxiety about things. Ok, but she's got, she's gotten much better. So yeah'd probably win the gold medal and world record for that one.
Speaker 3:Worrying number one, pessimism number two. Oh yeah, I like to call it realism, but I'm always waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, Kevin Kline has never seen a glass half full.
Speaker 3:Oh, no, ever yeah.
Speaker 2:Ever, yeah, ever. He only sees, you know, half empty. And oh, there's a crack on the side of the glass too.
Speaker 3:Well, I see that that half full is only two gulps away from being completely empty.
Speaker 2:Exactly, and somebody's going to come here and empty it and they're probably going to spit it all over me and it'll be hydrochloric acid.
Speaker 3:Can you tell he's known me for 28 years?
Speaker 2:yeah they'll probably die within three days and nobody will get a hold of krute trish. She won't know where I'm at, so I'm gonna die alone.
Speaker 3:Yeah and then the the third thing. Um, and I don't know this. This might sound a little braggadocious, but romanticism being romantic.
Speaker 2:In thinking about it, I can see what you're talking about.
Speaker 3:I you know I get Trish Flowers on a whim. Last weekend we were apart. She was here at home and I was out visiting some friends and I just started texting her how much I miss her, how much I love her and I mean like probably 15 messages later she's like why are you being so sweet? I'm like, aren't I always? She's like, yeah, but this is like overly, what'd you do wrong? Like nothing, nothing, I didn't do anything wrong, just telling you I miss you and I love you. Oh, and I got accused of something.
Speaker 2:And that's how it goes too, man, that's just how life is. Yeah, you know you can't just be nice. There's always a motive, right, right, and there's not a motive.
Speaker 3:There wasn't.
Speaker 2:Kevin is just. You know, he's finding his internal Cyrano de Bergeac. That's what he's doing.
Speaker 3:They got the same nose.
Speaker 2:They got the same nose. I knew it. I knew it. Let's do a side by side. There's Kevin Kline and there's Cyrano. Do you see why Kevin Kline is one of the most romantic guys?
Speaker 3:He has no choice. He has to be. He doesn't have the game to walk up to somebody in a cucumber aisle.
Speaker 2:That's so funny. Yeah, I see so funny. Yeah, I see you like that cucumber Me. I think it's a little small. You should get into something bigger.
Speaker 3:Wow, that's funny. That's really good. That's really good.
Speaker 2:All right, Kevin Klein, let's jump in our rabbit holes. Rabbit hole of the week. What did you find yourself into last week that you had trouble getting out of?
Speaker 3:Three things. I wasted a boatload of time on three different things, so I just mentioned that I went out of Three things. I wasted a boatload of time on three different things, so I just mentioned that I went out of town last weekend. I went up to visit my friend Bob, and we always do bourbons. If he comes here, he brings a bottle of bourbon. I go there, I bring a bottle of bourbon. So I was researching bottles of bourbon and that took a while.
Speaker 2:I love that, kev. What are you finding in terms? You know I'm a bourbon guy too? I know I love that, kev. What are you finding in terms? You know I'm? I'm a bourbon guy too, I know Maker's Mark has always been my go-to and that's a good one, a decent one, but you hop knob in some of the top brands.
Speaker 3:Well, Tim, I'm going to throw out a name to you, and it this is when I go looking for bourbons, I always think of Herb Winchess, not because he drank a lot, but because he always was looking for value. Yeah, he was always looking for value Something in his sports betting Exactly you know he was.
Speaker 2:By the way, for those who don't know, kevin and I did four years of radio in Birmingham, alabama.
Speaker 3:Our sister station was a sports station that Herb Winchess was the franchise, for he was the guy he was, and, uh, and I mean he was a legendary, legendary broadcaster in Birmingham, alabama and he was always talking about his value picks at the racetrack. So I always look for value bourbons. Tim, I'm going to throw one out to you. That is probably $20 cheaper than maker's mark and just as good. Uh, nelson brothers.
Speaker 2:Nelson brothers.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it used to be the old Bell Mead, okay, but the Nelson Brothers took it back to the original concept of it. Nelson Brothers, you're going to find it for like $35 to $39 a bottle. It's amazing. It is so tasty, so tasty.
Speaker 2:I actually have a bourbon section in my notes, yeah, and I'm writing it down right now.
Speaker 3:Okay, there you go.
Speaker 2:I'm putting it in Nelson Brothers, okay.
Speaker 3:Nelson Brothers whiskey. And then do you like ryes, do you like weeded, do you like corn?
Speaker 2:It doesn't matter.
Speaker 3:Okay, if you're going to look for a rye, look up Castle and Key Restoration Rye 40 bucks a bottle Unbelievable.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 3:And that one comes in at about $109 to $119. Proof Nelson Brothers is right around $80 to $90. Okay, so yeah, but those would be my two value picks for you this week.
Speaker 2:You know, because I drink bourbon straight.
Speaker 3:So do I.
Speaker 2:Okay, I'm a sipper, I'll sip on it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I drink it neat no ice, no water, no nothing.
Speaker 2:I like it on ice. Sometimes I like rocks, sometimes depending on how I'm feeling. But you know, initially when I first started uh, start drinking it I like you know neat, so I can really admire the notes and accents and everything like that really admire the notes and accents and everything like that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah. Well, our, our favorite mid range is Booker's. Good luck finding it. Booker's is amazing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you can't find that stuff.
Speaker 3:We just bought a store out. They had three. They had three bottles of it last weekend, so we we went and bought all three of them 99 bucks a bottle. Yeah, that comes in at 127 proof yeah, that's really good that's an end of the night one that's a smoother, that's a smooth.
Speaker 2:So good yeah, kevin, you know, I I'm uh, I'm into uh some really good uh tequilas too, oh which ones, do you know? Uh well, kotago is my favorite, the george straight. That's amazing, that is, that is the most unbelievable. But there's some, and I can't even remember them. I got a connoisseur of tequila that lives literally a nine iron away.
Speaker 3:Are you a Reposado Añejo Blanco Blanco? You like Blancos, yeah?
Speaker 2:Okay yeah, Reposados are good too, though.
Speaker 3:Yeah, reposados are. Well the difference, if you're not familiar Blanco is white. It's not conditioned in anything but a steel barrel. Then the Reposado ages for about three months in wood and then the Añejo six months or longer in wood. So that's where the color differentiation comes from.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't know what they do with the Cotigo, but it is so good.
Speaker 3:That's why, george.
Speaker 2:Strait bought it. Does he own it?
Speaker 3:He's part owner. Yeah, he's part owner.
Speaker 2:That's awesome.
Speaker 3:Yeah, the story behind that was when he used to go down to uh uh Mexico on vacation, everybody started talking about this one tequila place and he was like, I need to know about it, Cause I, he sipped it and he loved it. They're like, oh, it's in a, it's a private house, it's just a family recipe. He met him. He met him. He said I want to take this, I want to take this to market. So he got some investors and he invested and that's how it happened.
Speaker 2:Weren't they initially like who's this gringo?
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, no, they had no idea who he was.
Speaker 2:They didn't know who he was. No, and then finally some people explained who he was and they warmed up a little bit.
Speaker 3:Very much so yeah, but no, he yeah, Like George is going to come out and go. Oh hey, I'm George, he wouldn't do that.
Speaker 2:He doesn't man? No, not at all. He's one of those guys that doesn't understand who he is.
Speaker 3:That is a great way to put it. Great way to put it.
Speaker 2:The times we've interacted with him. I mean he did not. He was not comfortable with being called the king and being, you know, completely put up on a pedestal. He's not. That's not him.
Speaker 3:Not at all.
Speaker 2:Not him, and if you're that way, he'll shy away from you. He just likes to be around normal people. Mm-hmm, yeah, you know he'd rather sit on the tailgate of a pickup truck with you and, and you know, have an adult beverage and talk about, you know, the Dallas Cowboys and how they got nobody in the off season, and what the hell are we going to do? Everybody else in the NFC East is getting better and we're not.
Speaker 3:Do you think Prescott is? Is that good? I he's?
Speaker 2:I don't think he's worth that kind of money if they're gonna know I, I, you know he's got skills and I've talked. I talk about this with dallas all the time. You know dallas? Uh, my son, dallas cowboys is his name yeah and uh, he's big on the nfl personnel and all that stuff and I I just tell him I say I said you know, dak is great when there's no pressure.
Speaker 3:Totally.
Speaker 2:But when the pressure's on, you know he's gone. You know it's great that you can win your team 12 games in a season. He's done that the last three years and that's fantastic. But you know you're a Dallas Cowboys quarterback and that is the largest fan base in the world and they want a fucking ring. You know I'm saying I do know exactly what you're saying.
Speaker 2:I do not believe that Dak Prescott is a quarterback that can win a Super Bowl or maybe even get into a Super Bowl, right, I don't think. I don't think he has it and it's nothing personal against him, you know, obviously he hasn't proven that he has it. He has not proven that he has it yeah, he, he does not and I I would not pay him and I don't think he's going to be a dallas cowboy next year.
Speaker 3:Okay, unless they they go to the super bowl right or at least nfc championship game, at least well, they got an uproar, they got a uphill battle on that one man. They did nothing.
Speaker 2:But you could tell that that, that jerry knows that too, because jerry's priority was we're gonna get cd lamb taken care of, and then we're gonna go to micah and you know, dac, they're like the stall out with that. We want to see where you're at after this season. Right, you know, I don't, I don't believe that he will be there. I don't believe he will be there okay, so there you go I think mccarthy feels the same way that mccarthy's.
Speaker 2:Like I don't think this is the guy, because mccarthy knows who the guy is, because he's been with the guy, you know rogers, and wasn't he with barb too?
Speaker 2:uh, I think he spent. Uh, I don't know if he was a part of that Packers staff at all, I don't know, I don't think so. Okay, but he knows, he knows. You know the guys who've been around a while know the quarterbacks whose, you know, eyes don't get wide and their voice gets squeaky when the shit's hitting the fan. Yeah, and that's the biggest key, you know. That's why you know Joe Montana and Tom Brady, and you know, and Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes are the quarterbacks that they are is because in the huddle, when the shit's hitting the fan, they're just all calm and cool. We're going to hey, you know what, we're going to slice and dice and we're getting six here within the next minute and 38 seconds, whereas you know Tony Romo, dak Prescott, you know some of the guys that can do it when there's no pressure on oh my God, this is scary.
Speaker 3:Oh, we got a chance to wing it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they turn into fucking Mickey Mouse, yeah. So Anyway, back to rabbit holes, kev.
Speaker 3:I'll just give you my other one.
Speaker 2:I had three, but uh, oh, you know, I want to hear them all.
Speaker 3:I want to hear them all. Oh okay, uh well, uh, street beefs straight. Have you ever seen that? Like street fights yeah, they're called street beefs no, I didn't know that.
Speaker 2:There was labeled like that. So there's videos of people who have a beef with each other and fight.
Speaker 3:Yeah, well, I mean, that's the way it started. And it started, I believe, in Florida, in Miami, where if people were beefing on the street, they would take it to the street beef's octagon or the street beef's cage and put gloves on, and then, after it was over, it was settled.
Speaker 2:It was done. I love that.
Speaker 3:No more beef. No more beef. But now it's all over the place. The one I was watching just the other day is in Seattle Washington. It's called Street Beef Scrapyard.
Speaker 2:Kev, let me tell you this. I don't know if you remember, but I had a great idea for a reality show. It's called Elevator Grudge Match you remember this.
Speaker 3:Oh my God, that was a great one.
Speaker 2:If you have a grudge or a beef with anybody. You're a contestant on Elevator Grudge Match and somebody like Joe Rogan is the host, or something like that. We get your story why you have a beef, you get the other person's story why you have a beef and then you two go on an elevator together. You get the other person's story why you have a beef and then you two go on an elevator together just you two. It's a padded elevator and they press you know how many ever floors 40 or 50 floors up or whatever it is. You do it in a skyscraper and you guys settle it right there on the elevator as it's rising. The first person to get out of the elevator and ring the bell wins $10,000.
Speaker 3:And the beef is squashed.
Speaker 2:And the beef is squashed. By doing this, you agree that you guys will never have an issue with each other, at least in regards to this issue that you have, and that's it. Would that be the greatest reality show ever?
Speaker 3:That would be amazing.
Speaker 2:You know you got to soften them up for like 40 floors because you know that door is going to open, yep, and you have the voice going 29, 30, 31. And you're just like you know. Can you imagine?
Speaker 3:That would be amazing.
Speaker 2:No referee on the elevator either Wouldn't have room, wouldn't have room. There's no room, it's just you and that person in the elevator. You know, obviously there'd be some rules. You know you can't gouge eyes or you know, right, you can't kill them, you can't snap their neck or anything like that, or put gloves on them. Yeah, exactly, just put. Yeah, you put gloves on them or you know them, let them have headgear, that's fine. Yeah, yeah, nah, that's pussy stuff.
Speaker 3:Forget that people aren't going to watch it, then no, no, no, okay, you put you.
Speaker 2:You put gloves on, for sure, but that's it. They're just going and you get. Is that hilarious?
Speaker 3:there is nowhere to run and nowhere to hide tell me that.
Speaker 2:Tell me that's not a prime time hit that is an amazing.
Speaker 3:Again, again, another great idea, but where have you taken it? You haven't done anything with it.
Speaker 2:I know I need to start doing that. Follow-up is an area I need to work on, kevin, damn it. I need to start upping my follow-up game. That would be great. Elevator grudge match, though that's awesome. That's amazing. If there's anybody that knows any producers or anything like that and you're going to grab that idea, you know. Just say that tim tuttle came up with it. That's all I want. And, and hey, stipend, perpetually, forever. Right, there you go. Uh, what's your third rabbit hole?
Speaker 3:kevin Kwan in 1998 I went to a concert in St Louis. It was an industrial metal concert and the headline band was Jenna Torturers, but the opening band was the band that blew me away. They're called Rorschach Test and I was running the other day and one of their songs came on my iPod playlist. It was just on shuffle, you know, and I was like man, I wonder what happened to those guys. So I looked them up. Guess who? I'm now friends with James Baker of Rorschach test.
Speaker 3:He and I he and I text each other every day about new music that he's got coming out. I'm of the opinion that they have never put out a bad song. They're just not as well known as nine inch nails or ministry. So I'm going to have him on the fuzzy mic. But I've just been watching every single video they've ever done. It is so good, it's so good awesome buddy yeah, yeah, so and he, he has battled some serious demons.
Speaker 2:He took 10 years off because he was suicidal and a drug addict my god, you have a lot in common yeah, well, except for the drug addiction, but yeah well, kev you, you do take the chemicals to even yourself on a daily basis.
Speaker 3:Well, that's true, but I mean I'm not going over the prescribed dosage.
Speaker 2:OK, but yeah, it's not recreational for Kev.
Speaker 3:Not at all, not at all. So. But yeah, it's really cool that if you would have told me in 1998, when I was watching these people on, that I would eventually know this guy and he would be running new music by me for opinions, it'd be like crazy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I love it, man, that's awesome.
Speaker 3:Thanks. So those were the three.
Speaker 2:The rabbit hole I was in Kev. I have a new funding company that is giving me the opportunity to trade their funds for profits. Wow Okay. Yeah, they like my trading statistics and how I trade, so I'm currently finishing up my testing with them and then they're going to hand me over funds to trade. But they're one of the big companies and they have on a daily basis. They have videos on YouTube that salute their top traders.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 2:And I went into the rabbit hole. I like watched 70 videos last week that are about a half hour long, wow, and just to see what I'm up against, who the great traders are. You know they also bash the traders that aren't doing well. They just you know they'll put them up there too and go. What are you fucking thinking, man?
Speaker 3:Oh, wow.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's full entertainment, you know type thing. But I watched everyone because you know I want them eventually to do my profile, my card. You know Timothy T for Richmond, texas, you know he's doing well, here's the stats and you know salute and all that stuff. So that's my goal right now.
Speaker 3:So if you were to get your bio up there as one of the top, would that bring an influx of new customers to you?
Speaker 2:No, but they can increase the amount that they give to me to work with to fund, and it's a fantastic deal because it's like 90%. I keep 90% of the profits they get, 10%.
Speaker 3:Wow.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so some of the guys being featured. They have huge accounts now and they're making big money. You know, this one guy just took a payout for 150 grand for one month and 200 grand. I'm like that's where I'm going, baby Nice.
Speaker 3:Yeah, now let me ask you this though Somebody's giving you money to invest, do you feel pressure about that?
Speaker 2:Well, it's a different ballgame.
Speaker 3:I'm sure it is.
Speaker 2:That's why they look for certain types of traders. They don't like the gunslingers, you know. Yeah, they like the guys who, okay, if it's looking like a trade's not working out, he'll get out quickly with a small loss and he also has the discipline and patience to let a winner continue to run and not take profits too early, just let it go. And that's my goal every day is to get into a trade that lasts the whole day, that I just close out right before the close of the session at 3 pm. Okay, that's always my goal, just to stay in all day.
Speaker 3:And you don't have to monitor it all day.
Speaker 2:Oh, no, no, no, I'm watching it.
Speaker 3:Oh, okay, all right.
Speaker 2:No, no, no. When you're dealing with decent-sized funds, yeah, you'll want to babysit and make sure everything's cool.
Speaker 3:I understand now.
Speaker 2:The last thing you want is some ass clown from the Fed to have a speech or to say something and then just watch you free fall on your yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:No, I'm always moving up or moving down protective stops to lock in profits and everything like that. Okay, but yeah. So I trade the way they like to trade, which is the reason why they've approached me.
Speaker 3:That's super cool. Yeah, Very awesome man.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so I'll let you know. When that happens. We'll do a little clip from the YouTube video here. We'll put it on the Tuttle Clyde podcast, if that happens.
Speaker 3:We knew him when.
Speaker 2:We knew him when exactly, yeah, yeah, I mean and it's so funny. I mean these, I mean there's literally these, these guys and these, even these women in their mid twenties that you know, that, know what they're doing, are really good. I mean they're making millions of dollars, dang yeah, so that's cool. That's what I rabbit hole. I kept 70 of them 30 minutes. I just kept going.
Speaker 3:Oh, how long are they? They just real quick, like three, four, five minutes 30 minutes. Each one's 30 minutes and you watched 70 of them Last week. Oh my God.
Speaker 2:I'm studying my opponents. I want to know what I'm up against. Understood, understood. I'm studying and I'm looking at my stats and comparing them with all these big winners and I'm like, hey man, there's some areas that I'm better than some of these people.
Speaker 3:But you realize that that was 35 hours. That was a full-time job last week.
Speaker 2:Yes, I do realize that. Okay, I actually started it the weekend before, like the Saturday the weekend before, and finally got done last night.
Speaker 3:Amazing, yeah, amazing.
Speaker 2:I got a little crazy with it. But yeah, kev, we don't obsess much, do we no?
Speaker 3:not at all. No, neither of us neither of us, that's.
Speaker 2:That's something kevin, kevin and I if they were ever giving a gold medal away for team obsessive uh, compulsive we would win the gold medal instantly yeah, don't even.
Speaker 3:Don't even put up any competition. You got no chance you got.
Speaker 2:No, nobody can obsess over shit more than kevin line and I. All right, brother, that's a. That's been a lot of fun.
Speaker 3:Holy smokes, it went fast.
Speaker 2:Anything. Who do you have this week on the fuzzy mic?
Speaker 3:This week is my second conversation with Ricky Sluder, and if you didn't listen to the first one, you don't need to listen to the first one to be able to get everything out of this one. But the miracle of his daughter is just amazing and it'll have you scratching your head. So, and then next week is a Rorschach test James Baker.
