Welcome to the Tuttle and Klein Show.
Speaker 2:Tuttle.
Speaker 3:Calvin, that was weird.
Speaker 4:I think that was me. Oh okay, well, no big deal, we're here. I think that was me. For some reason I didn't press my button in, like I usually do, and I don't know why. Ah okay, I don't know why. Get, I'm getting old these things scare me.
Speaker 4:Kevin technology you know, what's so funny is speaking of, which is for the first time ever. You know, once you turn 50, you start getting email and you start getting blasted by senior. This magazine, aarp, that retired that and I've rejected it 100%. I was like I'm not even Me a senior. No, I'm not a senior. That's fucking crazy. You take that crazy talk and shove it. I'm not a senior and I don crazy. You take that crazy talk and shove it. I'm not. I'm not a senior and I don't care how much money I can save. If I even click on that, I basically have waved the white flag and said, yes, I'm a senior. Don't you feel like you're still 18? I don't understand it. By the way, real quick, I've started to click on them and they're fantastic.
Speaker 3:Is that the benefit? You get? Deals, oh yeah.
Speaker 4:Yeah, there's a lot of great discounts out there for 50 and over, and Kev even more at 55. And then you know, they'll add them at 60. I think they add them every five years.
Speaker 3:Well, trish and I were driving around the other day and we went and picked up something that we bought off of marketplace and it was a 55 and over living community and I'm like I'm there in two months and. I'm looking around. I'm looking around. I'd be the youngest person there.
Speaker 4:Oh, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4:Yeah, you know, yeah, you don't want to be a part of that yet. No, no, no, because you know those are the people that are still pissed off that you know that the mini-wheats are like squares and not shredded, and they got to shred them.
Speaker 3:Yeah right, you know what I'm saying. I know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4:God damn it. I just want to. I just need something shredded here.
Speaker 3:But this brings up a decent point. I think Hanging around those age people 20, 25 years older than you would that drag you down? Because, I can ask you this, because the women that you date are a little younger than you. Does that keep you young? Does that keep you energized?
Speaker 4:Absolutely. I mean, there's a couple of things that do it Kev, Like, for example, where I have an advantage over you in terms of staying current and real.
Speaker 3:OK.
Speaker 4:My kids, yeah, yeah. So I know the vernacular, I know you know what's on their minds, I know it's important for them and you know it's kept me young Just having conversations. You know the boys are in the other room right now. I still got the boys from the long holiday weekend but just having conversations with Dallas and Timmy, and you know Audrey and Jonas. You know I'm not only up on vernacular, I mean what their, what their verbiage is, but also you know what concerns them, what's a big deal to them.
Speaker 3:I get it.
Speaker 4:Yeah, how big of a difference in generational speak is there between audrey and timmy, not much they're, they're, they're, it's just yeah, they're, they're on the same. Yeah, audrey, uh was born in 01 and timmy was born in 15, so there's a 14 and a half year difference between them. Uh-huh and uh, not not much. Uh. Timmy is uh, you know, because he has older siblings. He stays very cool. I mean, he's the coolest third grader in the world.
Speaker 3:Oh, even if he didn't have siblings, he still would be.
Speaker 4:Yeah, so he's. Yeah, that's not an issue. But you know, getting back to what you were saying, is you know, when we remember, when we were younger, the age we are now? It just seemed like you are so fucking old. Oh, yeah, no, definitely. And they look different too. They weren't as in good shape as we are. They didn't eat as well. I don't know what it is, but I can remember people my age back 30, 40 years ago. It was like they did. They didn't look like this, they didn't. You know, we're much healthier for the most part. I mean, obviously there's some, some differences, but for the most part, our generation, generation X, we are younger looking than the boomers and, you know, the greatest generation before them.
Speaker 3:I think one of the major reasons is because less people are smoking these days. Man, when I was growing up, everybody smoked, everybody smoked.
Speaker 4:That's a great point. Kev is everybody smoked and you know it turns your skin gray, it makes your hair gray quicker. You just, you get the wrinkles, you just look older. Yeah, and you know, we realized at a very early age that, hey man, we that each puff is killing me.
Speaker 3:Every puff and part of that that we realized it was because we were athletes, you know, and that that does not increase your athletic potential.
Speaker 4:No, no, no, that's terrible for you. So, but yeah, I, I just, you know, and I I have some regrets about, regrets about, you know, some of the thoughts that I had. Like, uh, I remember when, uh, my dad turned the age that I turned, like his birthday, and I was like, damn dad, that's old and you know I'll forget. You know what he said to me he goes, he goes, son, it goes quick, it does, he said. He said I remember being your age like it was yesterday and boom, blink and it's over.
Speaker 3:You've said that a lot in our relationship together I mean, you're like that's one of your advices you give, that you used to give to interns is enjoy this, because you'll look back and it'll be yesterday and you'll be 40 or 50 years old.
Speaker 4:Oh, yeah, yeah, I mean, it's just cause I cause I remember that I remember. Like you know, I have memories of my father turning these ages and I'll just, I was just like holy cow. That dad, you know, he, I remember. You know he's the same age as Mickey Mouse. My dad is an older pop for me. He had me at 40 and Todd at 42 and Terry at 44. We were the second wave, but I remember 1978, when I was nine years old and we went to Disney World, we traveled to Disney World and it was the 50th birthday of Mickey Mouse, who was also born in 1928, and my dad's 50th birthday. Wow, and I just remember thinking, boy, that's old, you know, that's crazy. I don't ever want to be that old. That'd be a nightmare. Oh my gosh, you know at what point are you scared, like I'm going to fucking die soon, you know.
Speaker 3:I know, you know at what point are you scared like I'm gonna fucking die soon.
Speaker 4:you know I know, but that's what you think when you're nine years old. That's what you think absolutely, yeah, yeah, definitely feels old. And then when, of course, when you get there, you're like god, I can't wait to fucking die just kidding, I love life.
Speaker 3:Absolutely yeah.
Speaker 4:Hey, kev, I always want to be the guy you know, when I see people, when I'm walking, and when I see people you know in public or whatever I walk past them, I've always been the guy and like to be the guy that you know just at least says hello. Yep, I'm always that guy. And you know, as time goes on, with people being antisocial because of screen face, they have their face in the screen. They're not used to that socialization. You know it becomes. Hey, should I still be continuing to do this? Because you know now, what I run into is is people are either not used to that and kind of take you could tell some people are just taken back by that. Some of the younger people that I'll walk past and I'll say, hey, how you doing? Hey, good evening, hey, hello. You know they're taken back by that, they're shocked by it, like they don't know how to respond Right, and then you know then then you know they have a nervous, hey, how you doing?
Speaker 3:You know, you know, like I'm the first person in months that has said hello to them. You know what I'm saying. Oh, I know exactly what you're saying Because when I used to run a Memorial park, uh, I would I always say good morning or a wave when you pass somebody, and I would count how many people said it back to me, and it never reached two fingers, it never reached two hands. I'm sorry, never, yeah, yeah. But now that we live in the Midwest, everybody waves, everybody says hi.
Speaker 4:Yeah, it's crazy, yeah, it's different, Although you know you have, uh, you have. I mean, if you let me tell you, if you had to go to central casting and you had to develop a profile of a look of a serial killer, slash, pedophile or something. I mean Kev, I mean your face, is it?
Speaker 3:I don't like kids that much.
Speaker 4:Exactly. But you know what I'm saying. I mean you, you got, you have that look.
Speaker 3:I have a look.
Speaker 4:Yeah, you have a and it's totally contrary to who you are in reality. You're actually a nice and affable guy with a sense of humor that has a conscience and would never hurt anything or anyone.
Speaker 3:Absolutely, but you got that. Look, I am the perfect case for you. Don't judge a book by its cover.
Speaker 4:Exactly. But you're also the perfect case of if I'm in Target or something like that and I see you trying to talk to one of my kids, I'm going to punch you in the mouth.
Speaker 3:I got it, I got it.
Speaker 4:But anyway, kind of a spinoff of that is, you know, because it's so unusual that you know I'm greeting people and that people are even being greeted and said hello to and stuff like that. Sometimes you get caught into something, literally. Moments ago I went to check the mail. I got the boys here, so I haven't checked the mail since they came here on Friday. I just want to see if they got any mail on Friday and Saturday. I get to the mailbox and there's a lady there. I'm like, oh, hey, how you doing Good morning. And there's a lady there and I'm like, oh, hey, how you doing Good morning. And she used it as an opening and just started talking and I was like, oh, boy, and she got.
Speaker 4:You know, as far as you know, you single, I'm single Boy. It's so hard, it's. You know, I'm doing these dating apps and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah and I can't find the right guys. They're horrible guys and everything like that, and I'm like trying to joke my way out of it. As I'm walking I'm like, whoa, sounds like you're finding all the guys who put the word harmony, harmony, huh, you know, just thinking a quick line and laughing. She's like following me and telling me more and and I was like, well, yeah, I hope everything turns out. Okay, I got to go with my, I got to see ya.
Speaker 3:But she wouldn't stop following you. And now you're using an AARP discount to go on a date this weekend.
Speaker 4:No, no, okay, no, I can. I can understand why she's not meeting top quality guys.
Speaker 3:She is a she's single woman who just doesn't get to talk enough.
Speaker 4:Exactly she's. I mean she, she saw it as an opening and you know she's like oh my God, somebody's talking to me, Okay, God bless her.
Speaker 4:I felt a little bit bad, but you know I still had to go. I got to go do a podcast. Self-preservation, you never know. Uh, speaking of preservation, kev, um, a houston icon's got to preserve himself. Did you hear about this? Mattress mac was hospitalized on saturday. No way, what happened? Um, I don't, I'm not sure the uh details, but uh, uh, they're saying it's with. He had some issues cognitive issues. He's saying it directly. Oh, he had some issues cognitive issues. He's saying it directly. Oh, wow, so the Democrats are interested in having him on the ticket with Kamala. You know what I love the most, though, kev, what's that? And you can look this up Mattress Mac hospitalized. He's there in the hospital laying in a hospital bed. He's got IVs in him. You know he's got. Uh, you can tell he's a little weak. You know he's. He's not, he's not himself, but he's still trying to sling it is he really?
Speaker 4:oh my god, yeah, I'm in the hospital I'm having cognitive issues and I'll tell you this, though that doesn't stop the deals from going on at Gallery Furniture. We're going to save you money today, even though my ass is spread out in the hospital.
Speaker 2:Hi Mattress, matt Gallery Furniture. I'm down here at St Luke's Hospital in the emergency room having a little trouble with some cognitive things, but I'm sure I'll be all right because they have great doctors at Texas Medical Center and I will be fine. I don't know how long I'll be in here, but the best way for you to make me feel better is go out to Galilee Furniture giant Labor Day sale. Buy your furniture. We've got lots of items on sale. Galilee Furniture delivers free, free, free tonight Biggest sale ever, labor Day super sale and buy that Tempur-Pedic and sleep great tonight. Hopefully I'll get out of here pretty soon, cause I got to go sleep on that Tempur-Pedic. God bless you all. I'm going to be all right and I really will be all right If y'all go out and buy some furniture at Galloway Furniture right now.
Speaker 4:Seriously, he's still slinging. He's always slinging man, Always. He is the salesman. Oh, he's incredible at it, Always selling. And you know, I know, that he's going to get a sympathy pop. You know he's going to get a sympathy pop, Totally is. You know people are going to like you know, obviously, the economy's in shambles right now. Everybody's, you know, using their same mattress that they've used. They're not switching out mattresses and couches and shit right now, Kev, but I'm sure there's a certain percentage of people that'll be like man, we got to go. Look, he's going to have some hospital bills. We got to help him defray that cost.
Speaker 3:If you want to learn marketing and you want to learn advertising, just follow Mattress Mac. The guy should have been a college professor for marketing and promotion. He gets, so they call it free advertising because of all the charity stuff he does. He's brilliant, he's brilliant Kev.
Speaker 4:There are certain people that you know masterclass Like. When I was taking marketing classes at Ball State in the early 90s, our professors were like, look at what Madonna's doing. Yep, you know that that's a shining example of marketing, self-promotion and everything like that.
Speaker 4:Um, you know she's okay, she's got some decent singing chops and she can dance a little bit, but 95 of madonna is marketing absolutely was um, and then you know, as, as you know, even before that, like before I went to college and was studying marketing, brian bosworth oh, definitely yeah, the former oklahoma sooner, and then uh got run over by bo jackson created a persona, um, which is contrary to him, kev, from what I've heard, and brian bosworth, the guy, nice, nicest dude ever.
Speaker 4:He will, you know, have a conversation with you, look you in the eye, be interested and everything like that. But he created this Bosworth character with the haircut and it was all about marketing for him. So much so and I don't know if you knew this or not, kev, you can look it up to verify he developed himself a rivalry, him versus John Elway. Do you remember this? I'm not sure if you remember this at all.
Speaker 5:I don't remember this. The Seahawks travel to Denver to play the Broncos. It's the first time John Elway is going to face Brian Bosworth and lead up to the game. Brian Bosworth is like I'm going to shut that horse face mouth. All he does is call him horse face. I'm going to shut horse face mouth. I'm going to fuck horse face up blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Horse face, horse face, horse face. And it gets so heated that at the game outside the stadium, my Ohio stadium in Denver, all these shirts are being sold Anti Brian Bosworth shirts. Right, crush the Bos, fuck the Bos. These different shirts and tons of them, thousands and thousands and thousands of these shirts are being sold because we're going to show fucking Brian Bosworth that he sucks blah, blah, blah. The person who is selling all the t-shirts and was responsible for making the t-shirts, brian Bosworth.
Speaker 4:He was brilliant.
Speaker 3:Okay, but let's break this down a little bit, because the two examples that you use Madonna and Brian Bosworth, master marketers. Madonna was controversial with the whole Catholic religion thing. Bosworth goes up and talk smack about the beloved John Elway. Mattress Mac, on the other hand, did everything for good that he got all of his. Mattress Mac, on the other hand, did everything for good that he got all of his. So I mean, yeah, it works both ways.
Speaker 4:For Mattress Mac. He played the long game he did, and that's what you do. You take a positive angle if you're playing the long game, Like I want to be around for decades, Whereas if you're Brian Bosworth, you're like, hey man, the average NFL career is five years. I got five years to strike.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you got a shelf life.
Speaker 4:And he did. He struck and he made money and he made sure that he was doing movies. He did everything necessary and possible to make sure that he took full advantage of it, because there's a shelf life and, as we all know after what? Three or four years he had a shoulder injury and he could not continue on the field and he still made a dozen movies after that. But he struck while it was hot.
Speaker 3:And then you look at, like Madonna, you know, after a certain time period she fell off the map and I think one of the reasons is because how much more controversial can you be? Well, that's got to run out again.
Speaker 4:She had to take the controversial side because there's a shelf life for her. A hey, let's face it, as you age, you don't become as viable in that industry. And B once you throw out your schtick of being controversial, as you were just alluding to hey man, you played it.
Speaker 3:That's it.
Speaker 4:Definitely you got to strike while it's hot and she actually had some nice longevity, oh she did. And pocketed some really good cheese. So she handled it well? Yep, definitely, but you're right If you take the more positive tactic, and the people who do that are people like Mattress Mac the Rock. Yep, he goes positive he doesn't. He doesn't get himself involved with politics too much. I mean, we found out that he voted for Biden in 2020 and then he regretted that he voted for Biden.
Speaker 4:So we didn't, you know. But he not do any politics. No, and you know, even there's a lot of famous Black people that have called him out on that saying, hey, man, you could have helped lift us up. And he's, like you know, Michael Jordan's like, hey, Republicans buy tennis shoes too, man. Yeah, I mean, he fully realized that. You know, if you take too strong of a political angle, you automatically lose 40. You, if you take too strong of a political angle, you automatically lose 40 percent of a possible audience.
Speaker 3:Which is why I was surprised that that they were saying Beyonce was going to be at the Democratic National Convention and why they were saying maybe Taylor Swift might show up. That's no win situation for a pop star.
Speaker 4:No, no, you, you. You automatically alienate 40% of the audience. You automatically tell them hey, I don't think like you, I'm not like you, both ways.
Speaker 3:That's one of the things that we were told immediately when we went to 93 Q was there are three things you don't talk about. You don't talk about politics, you don't talk about religion, you don't talk about people's weight and of course.
Speaker 4:Uh, you know, I that went in one ear and out the other for me.
Speaker 3:Exactly.
Speaker 4:Cause you know how I am Once you tell me I can't do something, I automatically do something.
Speaker 3:It's a challenge for him.
Speaker 4:It is I, I gotta. I still haven't extracted that, that that code, but it's still in there and I just can't, you know. Yeah, just count on me to say the absolute wrong thing at the wrong time.
Speaker 3:It's not even so much saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. I think that is a trait because I've known you long enough and you've talked about it long enough that I think that was a trait that your dad instilled in you by saying don't accept authority without questioning it.
Speaker 4:Yeah, my dad taught me that, right, you know, my dad taught me that from an early age and really zoned in on it when I did the JFK assassination report as a senior in high school and I kept telling him. I was like, dad, this is, you know, I was just trying to do the cover of the events. You know cause I liked JFK, I thought he was cool. You know, good looking guy got all the chicks. I mean because I like JFK, I thought he's cool, good looking guy Got all the chicks. I mean when I'm 17 years old, that's the guy, right, right. And then I realized, I realized I was like, wow, this, this is not one gunman and this, this is a coup. D'etat.
Speaker 4:And I talked to my dad about it. He goes, sit down, son, let's talk. And at that point he just, you know, he said, yeah, he goes. You know, always question people, particularly people who claim that they know everything and they're always right, and how you know, those are the people that need to be most questioned because they're not open to anything else. They're shut off.
Speaker 3:There's a difference between your upbringing and mine. Your dad sit down, son, let's talk. My dad get up from the table and go. Yeah.
Speaker 4:My God, he's having an independent thought and I'm going to have to have a conversation with him. I'm out of here, son. I'm going to grab my newspaper and go to the John and take a dump. Have a great day.
Speaker 3:I'll see you in a year.
Speaker 4:Yeah, but anyway, kev, I've told you that in the last year and a half, two years, my son, dallas, has become really into sports, you have and he's next level stuff too, not just being a fan of sports First off, he's playing eighth grade football. He's playing offensive guard and defensive end. Wow, yeah, he's big. He's a big kid, I know. So, yeah, they got their first game on September 12th. Yeah, I can't wait to check it out. But he's really into sports and really, like, knows a lot, like I remember when I was his age I knew a lot about sports, but I think he may have me beat because he goes really deep level. You know what he said to me yesterday.
Speaker 3:I would love to hear what he said.
Speaker 4:He tells me that the Miami Heat's Jimmy Butler has not been in a lineup in a Miami Heat uniform on any full moon night in the last three years. Wow, so Dallas is like. I'm pretty sure he's a werewolf dad.
Speaker 3:Nice call Dal yeah.
Speaker 4:But you look at that, I'm like, wow, where did he get that? And I'm thinking to myself now, how can I parlay that into maybe a good bet?
Speaker 3:Well, it's easy. Next time there's a full moon, you know, Jimmy ain't playing.
Speaker 4:You know, try, try to get it early before they announce he's not playing and bet against the heat.
Speaker 3:There you go. So I'm like Dallas anytime you come up with a little edge like that, you know, don't be, don't feel afraid to drop it on that. I'd be curious to get his. I'd be curious to get his take on the article that I read last week. There are three NFL insiders who are on record as saying that Patrick Mahomes will become the first $100 million per year player in the NFL and according to them, 18 GMs are lined up to make that offer. Five years, 100 mil each.
Speaker 4:Well, yeah, they're escalating, the salaries are escalating and you know why it is.
Speaker 3:But is the salary cap escalating?
Speaker 4:Well it will. I mean the cap. The reason it's escalating is they're making money hand over fist. The revenue is off the charts. Not only here in the united states has the game grown and become the monster, but their uh expansion into europe and into other countries has created revenue streams where they just they have so much money right now. I mean, if you bought an NFL franchise 30 years ago, 20, 30 years ago, that was a great investment.
Speaker 3:Oh well, what did Jones pay for the Dallas Cowboys? Now they're the most valued franchise in the world Exactly Over $10 billion, exactly. But look, everybody goes, oh, $100 million a year for one player, tim, and you know this, you've said it numerous times rich people just don't give away money. Rich people get rich because they make money Giving a guy $100 million a year. They know what they're doing.
Speaker 4:Absolutely.
Speaker 3:They know what they're doing.
Speaker 4:Well and I told you this a few podcast episodes ago that if he wanted to, if Patrick Holmes wanted to, he could just say, hey, I'm holding out until I get a billion dollar guaranteed deal and he would get it. He goes, no matter what happens in my career, I'll sign the rest of my career or 10 year deal or whatever. I want $1 billion with a B guaranteed coming to me, no matter what happened, and he would get it because he's worth it. That money will pay for itself in a short period of time.
Speaker 3:I think he's going to become the fastest athlete to a billion dollar worth in history.
Speaker 4:Nope, too late. Oh, who was it? Jordan with the Nikes the fastest? Yeah, yeah, he became a billionaire fast because they cut the deal. The movie with Matt Damon and Ben Affleck discussing the Michael I forget the name of the movie.
Speaker 3:It's called Air.
Speaker 4:Yeah, did you watch that? Yeah, yeah, you know he held out. He said, oh, I'll go with this new Nike stuff, but I want a percentage of every shoe sold.
Speaker 3:Yeah, his mom negotiated that for him, uh, and at the time it was unprecedented. No athlete had ever gotten that. And it was so outrageous that Phil Knight, the CEO of Nike, was never presented with that until after the contract was signed by Jordan, because they knew Phil Knight wasn't going to go for it. But look how much it made both of them.
Speaker 2:Both of them.
Speaker 4:And Kev, I believe you know Mahomes has been at it. You know he's pushing 30 now, 29, 30 years old Michael Jordan, you know, became 30 years old in 1993. By then he was a billionaire, okay. So, yeah, he's a now. In terms of overall scope, uh, uh, my homes may end up making more money in the end than, uh, Michael Jordan, and definitely keeping more money because he doesn't gamble.
Speaker 3:Very true. But you know how many Whataburgers he owns? Right, a bunch 17. Does he? Yeah, he owns 17. In Kansas City, all across Missouri, yeah, interesting, we've got one four miles from our house. I don't know if he owns that one, but yeah, his business acumen is just impressive. Just incredible too, yeah.
Speaker 4:Like Jordan's. Like Jordan's. Yeah, he's done the right things and he's got the same kind of juice in Lubbock, Texas Tech.
Speaker 3:Well, they just named something after him.
Speaker 4:Yeah yeah, my daughter, audrey, is an alum of Texas Tech, so I know everything about what Patrick Mahomes is doing in Lubbock and yeah, he's, he's legend status, kevin, I just I remember, it's so funny. I remember watching him a little bit when he played for Texas Tech, but but no idea that he was going to be the guy he was.
Speaker 3:He became I don't think anybody did. You know, I mean, he was good, he had a great arm, but I don't think anybody saw what Kansas City saw in him.
Speaker 4:One guy did, andy Reid.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's what I said. Yeah, Andy Reid.
Speaker 4:Yeah, there's even like some talk out there and I've seen some chatter and you can find it out on YouTube that when he got into the Kansas City camp in what it was a 2016, 2017 or whatever it was that a lot of the other Kansas City Chiefs are like, this is the guy you know weird haircut, not that big kind of built like the Pillsbury Doughboy, he's a little soft.
Speaker 3:Kermit the Frog voice.
Speaker 4:Yeah, kermit the Frog voice, this is the guy. And Andy Reid would just tell all these veterans who showed concern, just wait.
Speaker 3:That's knowledge of the game right there, man. That's that's that's knowing how to scout players, and.
Speaker 4:Oh yeah, andy Reid is, uh is, you know? I know Belichick gets credit as being the GOAT coach of all time and Lombardi and everything like that up there, but a lot of Belichick is Brady, we found out. Yeah, andy Reid's a genius and unfortunately, the Lombardi thing he didn't have enough time to really before he got the cancer. He didn't have enough time to really build that long-lasting legacy, even though what he did was legend. You know five world championships in seven years I think his legacy is pretty secure.
Speaker 3:They named the championship trophy after him. Yeah, but you know the party trophy until until uh.
Speaker 4:Until uh, you know it was. They were quick to put him aside and hand belichick the GOAT label.
Speaker 3:You always remember the latest.
Speaker 4:Exactly, that's it.
Speaker 3:Vince is a couple generations, just maybe a generation removed. That's one of the things I love about the trophy is the Lombardi trophy. When you don't know who somebody is, go look it up online and then you'll know.
Speaker 4:Yeah, five world championships in seven years. I'm not sure I mean, maybe the chiefs beat that, maybe they got a shot, but five and seven years, that's, that's crazy, that's big, that's big, kev. I have a new fun activity I have with uh, dallas and timmy I want to tell you about, in addition to the candy draft the candy draft very popular it's popular with me and Timmy.
Speaker 3:I want to tell you about, in addition to the candy draft the candy draft Very popular.
Speaker 4:It's popular with me and I've never done it. Yeah Well, you know, kev, we hang out and get together. I may have a candy draft for you, okay, sweet. Oh yeah, no pun intended, I know right, you know the boys, they like their video games and you know, every so often, you know, once every few weeks or so, they'll come up to me. And Dad, I need some more AA batteries for the controllers. Sure, so now we've started to have funerals for the game controller batteries, we'll lay them out on the table and you know Timmy will be thankful for allowing him to wreak mayhem in fictitious Los Angeles on Grand Theft Auto. He'll say thank you for letting me all the mayhem and cars I jacked and people I killed and beat up. Thank you.
Speaker 4:All right all the mayhem and cars I jacked and people I killed and beat up. Thank you, right, and Dallas will be thankful for allowing his university of Arizona wild cats to have another dominating season national championship.
Speaker 2:That stuff like that, yeah, okay, yeah.
Speaker 4:Oh yeah, his mom loves that. I see, yeah, he appeals to mom on that one. She's a Arizona wildcat fan, but that was that. Ah, I see, yeah, he appeals to mom on that one. She's an Arizona Wildcat fan, but Dal's getting a little cocky with it, I think, though.
Speaker 3:Oh, why? What's he doing?
Speaker 4:He's doing onside kicks after every touchdown. I'm like what are you doing, man? They have the ball on the 45-yard line. Now, what are you doing, Dal? He's like first off, I'm going to stop him. Second off, I don't stop him, I'm going to score.
Speaker 3:Yeah, well, here's the thing. He might be on to something, because the way they keep changing the kickoff rules in the NFL, they don't want contact anymore, so an onside kick might happen every time.
Speaker 4:You know, you think about it. Kev some of the most dominating defenses ever and when you think about them, you think about the 85 Bears, you think about some of those Baltimore Ravens with.
Speaker 3:Ray Lewis Steel Curtain the.
Speaker 4:Steel Curtain. I mean, those are teams that probably, hey, we're just going to unside kick Because they're not going to get a first down anyway, and we're going to get the ball back Probably about the same place we do on a kickoff. Let's try to go for the ball.
Speaker 3:Beautiful, what a thought process. Kids revolutionizing the game.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah. So you know, whereas my conservative old school style is chastising him a bit for his strategy, he may be revolutionary.
Speaker 3:That's right. Things evolve, dad, things evolve evolutionary.
Speaker 4:That's right. Things evolve, dad, things evolve, yeah, yeah, this is what we're gonna dad, I have a dominating defense and I score at will.
Speaker 3:Okay, yeah well, because, think about it because you're an odds guy, you have a better chance of recovering on onside kick than you do kicking it in the end zone that's true.
Speaker 4:You may see that.
Speaker 3:You may see that as a thing you may, you may, and then it'll be just like his dad he will have developed an idea that he doesn't get credit for exactly, exactly, way ahead of the game.
Speaker 4:That's the uh dallas, uh strategy dallas, who I? I invented that uh at the college I'm coaching at now. Um, speaking of football, obviously we're talking a lot of football right now. Cannot wait for the season to start. I'm so stoked and we were watching college football all weekend here who looks good.
Speaker 3:I didn't watch any um georgia.
Speaker 4:I mean they, they, they absolutely destroyed Clemson. Clemson had three points.
Speaker 3:That's it, huh.
Speaker 4:That's it. Clemson had three points. And now Dabo Sweeney, the coach of Clemson, who just I like what he won two national championships not too long ago is now under fire because he doesn't take advantage of the portal enough. Oh okay, you know, georgia got some great players in the portal.
Speaker 3:As if they needed to.
Speaker 4:Yeah, they loaded up and you know the people who are, you know, playing this modern game, the portal, right, you know, obviously, georgia and Colorado. Deion Sanders plays it, right. Dabo's like he's too dedicated. Hey, I want Clemson guys. From the beginning, you know, you know, when they were 17, 18 years old, they were clemson and that's who we're going with okay, well, he'll be looking for a new job in a couple years exactly.
Speaker 3:You have to adapt or you die.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah, you know. Uh, you know, if you don't adapt, you're dead. I mean, look at all these coaches that that won championships and then they're gone. Lsu's the gruff voice coach I forget his name.
Speaker 2:What's his name. You know when I take my finger and I put it right there in his belly that I'm the right man for the LSU Tigers.
Speaker 4:He wins the national championship. He doesn't adapt, he's gone. Happened to Valvano NC State basketball in the 80s. Didn't adapt, he's gone.
Speaker 3:What's the feeling in College Station? It was a tight game, but A&M lost 107,000-plus people in that game. Holy crap, man Isn't that crazy. Oh, what an atmosphere.
Speaker 4:They got spanked though Notre Dame. You got to beat that opening game at home.
Speaker 3:You got to win that opening game okay, so that's kind of what I thought the feeling would be yeah, you got it.
Speaker 4:You can't let that one go. So the new coach is like oh shit that would have been a big victory.
Speaker 3:You know, taking down a single digit seed, yeah yeah, yeah, I got.
Speaker 4:I got an eye of football, just about everything. I'm Kev, I'm doing my cardio and walking around and I'm watching some neighborhood games. They're playing those pickup touch football games.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 4:And you know. You know how it is, though you know the touch football game turns into tackle as soon as somebody pushes too hard.
Speaker 3:So absolutely yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4:It happens these days too, not just with us, but I I've noticed the last couple of times I'm I'm doing my cardio and watching them play, that there's this white kid that is really really good at covering fast kids, really good. I mean, he's like all over him. I mean just like glue, there's no separation at all, he's just all over him. And these are just like glue, there's no separation at all, he's just all over him. And these are, you know, junior, high, eighth, ninth grade, you know kids. And so I I had to.
Speaker 4:They had a break. They were getting some drink, cause it's hot as hell still here in Houston. So they were getting a drink and after somebody scored a touchdown and I I walked over to him and I started talking to him. I was like, hey man, you got some game buddy, and he's uh, he's a eighth grader, you know he's, he's played Pop Warner and everything like that and he's a cover corner there really okay and you know he was telling me that the coaches first off Kevin, pop Warner, and even middle school, they don't play the same offenses that we played when we were younger.
Speaker 4:It was just hand the ball off or the quarterback just take the ball and sweep and run. Yeah they, they actually have these air raid spread offenses and they're passing right away. Now, that's the game, that's the game. And but anyway, this kid tells me that his, his coaches. They always put him on the other team's toughest and fastest receiver and that's why he's good. I told him I was like, hey, man, do me a favor, work really, really hard and stick with it. Maybe you can end up being the white people Jackie Robinson of NFL quarterbacks.
Speaker 4:Barrier, breaker Barrier breaker, we got a white corner what they're gonna call you whitey they're gonna give you hell for being white. You're gonna hear cracker from the stands and you're gonna hear the. You're gonna hear all that and you're gonna you're gonna have to run to your car in the parking lot after the game. You just stick to it though an entire race needs you. Don't let them beat you down don't let them beat you down, whitey so funny, that's funny can you imagine?
Speaker 4:like a white cornerback? Wow, you did hold on. Did you say corner or quarter? You said quarter, corner. Oh, wow, oh, wow, okay, this is groundbreaking. This is groundbreaking stuff. You can see the documentaries. We just never thought thought it would be possible for a white man to be able to cover the fastest receiver on the other team. It was not scientifically possible. And suddenly little Richie Johnson from Richmond, texas, comes in and we couldn't believe it. He's going up against guys who are five-star, going to be first-round draft picks in the NFL, and they can't get any separation from Little Richie. So we had to do what we had to do. The first thing we did, we tested him for drugs. Yeah, I couldn't believe it. When he peed clean, I was like wow, what's going on here? He's the chosen one.
Speaker 3:He's the chosen one they're gonna call you whitey that's a reference to an old Saturday Night Live skit where Michael Jordan was the first black Harlem Globetrotter. Yeah, because the Globies were white yes, they were yeah, and Jordan becomes the first in the skit and they're like don't do it, kid, they're gonna call you blacky yeah, sweet river, you think you can handle being a Harlem Globetrotter.
Speaker 6:I play the best I can, sir, I'm not talking about your play, son, I'm talking about you. They're gonna try to fight you, son, and well, you can't fight back. You're gonna be called names, things you don't want to hear, like Blackie, or hey, look at that blackie. Or get rid of blackie. Or why is that blackie on the team?
Speaker 4:or I'm in a bad mood because of that blackie out there. Let's see, it's another uh snl skit that you couldn't do today. No, because everybody, everybody lives to be outraged oh my god words, oh my god um. I love it. That's hilarious.
Speaker 3:Hey, you know, while we're talking football, I do have a be honest for you in that realm.
Speaker 5:Be honest, be honest.
Speaker 3:OK. So we heard about the the shooting of the rookie San Francisco 49ers, ricky Pearsall. The details are now coming out. He's out of the hospital and he's expected to make full recovery. But he was basically carjacked by a 17-year-old armed perpetrator and he refused to give up his car. So there was a tussle and he got shot. Be honest, would you fight somebody who's got a gun pointed at you wanting your car?
Speaker 4:No, you let them have the car, don't you though? Yeah, you don't fight, yeah, you don't do that. You, just you, just as he's doing it. You take uh as many notes mentally of what he looks like, and you, you, you like watching the distance at what turns he makes so you can make the phone call, and most of these cars cars have the transponders on them. Anyway, you'll find them, you know. Yeah, no, absolutely, and they're all covered by insurance. And yeah, never I would be like you want it that bad that you're going to risk five to ten years. Go, it's yours.
Speaker 3:Knowing somebody is violating you, like that, I get it. And you're talking about being shot over a? Knowing somebody is violating you, like that, I get it. But and you're talking about being shot over a car? Yeah, you can't. You can't.
Speaker 4:No, no, you got to let that go. Yeah, you got to let them go. Did they find the perpetrator?
Speaker 3:Well, he got shot too in the tussle Both of them got shot. Yeah, yeah. He's out of the hospital and incarcerated. Now he's in jail.
Speaker 4:It's absolutely shocking that something like this would happen in San Francisco, california. I can't believe it. If you have strong gun laws, things like that should never, ever happen, right? Oh, you mean the bad guys don't listen to gun laws? Oh well, shoot. I wonder what could be done to thwart that Like if you have bad guys that won't listen to gun laws. I mean, what could be done to thwart that like?
Speaker 3:if you have bad guys that won't listen to gun laws. I mean, what could be done to stop that sort of thing? Maybe let good guys have their guns to protect them.
Speaker 4:Maybe that's such a radical experiment, timmy, so stupid man. And and the people who do it have armed guards. The people who throw those laws out, they all have armed guards that is a interesting point that to me.
Speaker 4:That, to me, is the most evil shit that I've ever seen. I just gotta say this I'm gonna be done, we're gonna move on. I'm sorry, kev. Okay, the most evil thing that I have ever seen is somebody who stands in front of a camera who, for the last three and a half years, has let millions in the border unvetted and they end up being known terrorists, people from prisons and gangs from other countries. And then we'll tell that camera, look it in the face and say we want to disarm Americans, as they have two armed people behind them making sure they're safe. That, to me, is apex predator evil. I mean that that is the most evil One of the, that is, the the most, one of the most evil human beings you could imagine right there, okay, and I'll just leave it at that, cause that's that's happening. It just happened in the last couple weeks. I'm like you are fucking evil, so I I can't protect myself from what you let in, but you're protected fuck you.
Speaker 3:He seems very passionate about this and he is I'm sorry, kev.
Speaker 4:Let's move on to our our fun little goofy stuff. Uh, be honest, yeah, have you ever eaten something off the ground?
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, yeah, not recently, but yeah, I mean probably as far back or probably as recent as maybe 10 years ago.
Speaker 4:Hold on a second because I am so curious. You would be see to me. 99 percent of people would be like, yeah, I wasted that fucking gobstopper. 99% of people would be like, yeah, I ain't wasting that fucking gobstopper. But you would be one of the few percent that would be like I don't care, it's gone. What kind of food is so desirable to Kevin Kline that he would bypass that?
Speaker 3:Well, it wasn't that it was desirable, it was that I actually needed it at the time. It was a very salt-covered corn nut.
Speaker 4:You got me, I bet. Why was it so desired at that time?
Speaker 3:Kline goes nuts for corn nuts, because I was cramped up so severely at the bottom of the Grand Canyon that the park ranger gave me a thing of corn nuts and I spilled some and I had to reach down into the dirt of the Grand Canyon and pick it up and eat it, because that salt was supposed to get me back up and moving.
Speaker 4:Holy cow, yeah, so you did it for life. So I ingested some of the majestic grand canyon okay, now let me ask you this is that it, though? Is that it?
Speaker 3:no, I'm sure there's others before that. That's just the the one that I remember being as the most recent that's funny.
Speaker 4:Yeah see, I don't give a shit. I'll be like are you kidding man? That's a Reese's peanut butter cup. I'd stab somebody for that shit.
Speaker 3:Oh, wow.
Speaker 4:I'm not giving that up, not at all. Like Kev, I was grilling some chicken, okay, and you know one of them. I just so bummed out One of them. You know I got a plate, a huge plate. See, when I cook, when I grill my chicken, I grill six huge breasts at one time.
Speaker 3:You've always been a breast man.
Speaker 4:Actually, I've been an ass man, but that's another story for another time. You've always been a breast man. Actually, I've been an ass man, but that's another story for another time. And one of them falls off and hits the ground next to the grill and I'm just like there is no way. I mean, I just had that thing in there and I was marinating it and turning it slow, cooking it and talking to it because I talked to it, of course, hi, little chicken, chicken, chicken. And talking to it because I talk to it. Of course, hi little chicken, chicken, chicken. You're going to be so juicy and delicious, mmm, going to make my mouth water. There's no way that I'm giving up on that chicken.
Speaker 3:No, but here's what you do. With it though I mean the one that fell down you put it back on the grill. It'll burn off the bacteria that it's accumulated, and you just invite that single girl who was talking to you at the mailbox over and that's the one you give her.
Speaker 4:Actually, Kev, I got to be completely honest with you. I washed it off and I ate it.
Speaker 3:I couldn't give it to my boys. That's the magnanimous thing to do. That's that's what a parent does.
Speaker 4:I could not give it to Dallas and Timmy. I could never. I could never do that, no, I couldn't. But I'll say this, though I I I put more effort into keeping things alive with that chicken breast than I have any relationship I've ever been in Excellent.
Speaker 3:But did I read on the battle plan, though, that there could be a new girl? No Heavy breath.
Speaker 4:No, no, I had a. Last week I had a overnight lady guest Did you. Yeah, she's about 5'4" maybe 105, 110 pounds. Oh wow, okay. Loudest, loudest snorer I ever heard in my life oh no, I ever heard in my life. Oh no, kevin, and my freshman roommate in the dorm at Ball State was a defensive lineman for the Mighty Cardinals and it wasn't as loud as that Dang. Did you tell her?
Speaker 3:Did you tell her?
Speaker 4:Well, I'm glad you asked that, kev. I look over and you know it wakes me up. It's I look over and it wakes me up, so I recorded it. Seriously, it was bad. It was like sleeping next to a cappuccino machine, set on 11. Yeah, not conducive to good sleep.
Speaker 3:So I recorded it Sleeping next to a cappuccino machine set on 11. Yeah, not conducive to good sleep.
Speaker 4:You're right, no. So I recorded it on my phone and I showed her in the morning. How'd that go over? Lost another friend with benefit? Oh damn. But I sold the recording to a farmer who will use it to scare crows away.
Speaker 3:Yes, all's well that ends well.
Speaker 4:It's okay. The whole, the whole thing with her didn't start off right. So you know, okay, yeah, I mean I told her I had a vasectomy you know my ex after our last kid, she wanted me to get a vasectomy. She said she didn't want to have any more kids. Oh, what I found out later is she didn't want to have any more kids with me. But anyway, after I told Miss Sleeps Like a Lawnmower that I had a vasectomy, she told me that she was hoping to have a kid someday. Oh, now, in order to keep it going because you know she's hot, I told her I had some of my stuff frozen before I got the procedure done, oh, and I told her I didn't go to one of those clinics or anything like that.
Speaker 4:I just froze something myself. It's in the freezer. Yeah, just be be careful which ice tray you use nice, she thought that was funny.
Speaker 4:It is funny, it's hilarious yeah, so I not cab, I mean and we talked about this the last episode I, I, I I'm not, I'm so happy, just like being solo right now. You know that's cool and I, I know they're. You know I got a friend of mine. It's like hey, dude, you know you still look good, you know you can still, you know, get a very attractive woman and you know, blah, blah, blah, but you better hurry because you may not look that that good. You know, five years, six, seven, eight years from now, and I'm just like I, I don't I don't care
Speaker 3:yeah and uh. Apparently he's never seen a picture of your dad. Yeah, my dad, I wish I had it, kev, you do it's over your shoulder.
Speaker 4:Yeah, well, yeah, my dad. Yeah, there's my dad. Yeah, but even more than that, I want you to put this up here, you know, cause you know in terms of how I, when my dad passed away, I mean he looked like Sean Connery from Hunt for Around October. That's how my dad looked. Yeah. So, yeah, I should be able to hang in there, if I can hang in there half as long as my dad did.
Speaker 3:Yeah, timmy got a good lot in the genetic lottery. He certainly did.
Speaker 4:I did, I got to admit. Thank you Mom, thank you Dad, for coming together. Dad thanks for after that Green Bay Packer victory over the Dallas Cowboys in the Ice Bowl in late 1967, for slipping one past the goalie there. And nine months later, voila, the world gets Timmy Tuttle. Yes, that's so funny man.
Speaker 3:Yeah, true story, though True story.
Speaker 4:True story yes, I was born nine months after the Ice Bowl victory over the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 3:Thank you very much. Far be it for me to poke a bear, but does that give you any satisfaction over your?
Speaker 4:ex Nothing gives me any satisfaction over her.
Speaker 3:Oh, okay.
Speaker 4:Kev. I don't want. My ex is a witch.
Speaker 2:Oh Jesus.
Speaker 4:No, no, no, no, not in a negative way, as in she has powers. Oh Jesus, no, no, no, no, not in a negative way, as in she has powers. Oh, okay, I have noticed over the years it is more wise for me to have nothing but positive vibes sent in her direction, understood, because you know anytime that any kind of negative vibe would come out there, I would pay somewhere down the road. Okay, no, it does not give me any satisfaction whatsoever. As a matter of fact, I kind of wish that maybe the Cowboys offensive line would have stopped that.
Speaker 3:But then we wouldn't have had the pleasure of your company, sir.
Speaker 4:Oh yeah, a lot of people go. That would have been the real pleasure not having his company.
Speaker 3:Nope, not here. 20, what 28 years? Now 28 years, Kevin Kline, your longest relationship.
Speaker 4:Yeah coming up. Wow, it's early 96. Yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, because Trish and I got married in September of 96.
Speaker 4:Did you and Kev, did you realize that come April, it was 20 years ago that we started at?
Speaker 3:93. Isn't that crazy. I remember it like it was yesterday.
Speaker 4:April of 2005. Yep, we, we, it was the weekend, the first weekend of April.
Speaker 3:I think it was april 1st, as we yeah, our contact, our contract kicked in on april 1st.
Speaker 4:What a joke exactly the april's fool, the april fool's joke of a lifetime on the city of houston. But I remember, I'll never forget this it was you, me, and and Jimmy Phil driving to Houston from Birmingham Alabama. Yep. And I remember we got into the listening area and the first song. Do you remember the first song? I don't know if you were listening to 93Q or looking for it at all, but I was looking for it. I was like, hey, what is this station?
Speaker 3:Was it Rascal?
Speaker 4:Flatts, rascal Flatts, fast Cars and Freedom. Yep it at all, but I was looking for it. I was like hey, what?
Speaker 6:is this station, you know, let me let me was it rascal flats, rascal flats fast cars and freedom.
Speaker 4:Yep, that was the. That was the first song we heard and I remember you know, uh, gary levaux going look at me in that song, remember that I do remember that and just to paint a picture, I at the time I still had long hair and you know, kevin Kline and I had just done like nine years of alternative rock. I mean, you know I didn't get my haircut until the next day, but you know I remember listening, look at me and going, oh shit, are we going to be able to do this?
Speaker 3:Yeah, we were. We were a little concerned about, you know, the format and stuff and being able to tone ourselves down, but it all worked out. It worked out great and country music actually grew on us. Yeah.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I liked it.
Speaker 3:It's still the stuff I sing in my head when I wake up.
Speaker 4:Kev. Not only that, it's the stuff that is really really talented people. Oh yeah, let's face it though, a lot of the alt-rock that we did, a lot of that's processed.
Speaker 3:A lot of pop is processed. We know that.
Speaker 4:A lot of that's processed With country music. You can't hide. You either sing or you can't sing.
Speaker 3:If you can't sing, sing you will be weeded out yeah, you, you don't want to have a career, for sure yeah, so that that's true talent.
Speaker 4:I mean, the true talent is in country music I've seen. For the most part. I mean, obviously you know you got your exceptions. Uh, some people get surprised when they they learn our background. I mean you know our Zeppelin, our Motley Crue, our Kiss, our, you know, kevin, and I liked it crunchy.
Speaker 3:Judas Priest and Ozzy were my first two concerts.
Speaker 4:Absolutely man Scorpions Worldwide Live. Are you kidding me?
Speaker 6:Costa Mesa, there is no one like you. California, there is no one like you.
Speaker 3:World, there is no one like you Worldwide Live, one of the greatest live albums.
Speaker 4:Check out ACDC River Plate.
Speaker 3:I'm not familiar with that.
Speaker 4:Oh man, Argentina loves themselves some rock and roll.
Speaker 3:Is that with Bon Scott, or is that with Brian Johnson? Brian Johnson.
Speaker 4:It was done probably. What about 10, 12 years ago? Oh, wow. Holy cow, I've never seen a crowd like that.
Speaker 3:Okay, well, I'm going to definitely look for it.
Speaker 4:As a matter of fact, I want you to watch it. Watch ACDC Live at River Plate. As a matter of fact, put a little clip right here of the crowd. Yeah, Would you even go in? That? That's a scary. I'm a big guy, strong guy. I would be concerned in that crowd. Look how they're rolling and how they're moving. And I mean, if you lose your footing in that crowd right there, they don't find you for three weeks.
Speaker 3:Yeah, no, I don't think I would go in there, but I mean, there's a curiosity factor. I wonder what that concert sounded like. Back in black. Hit the sack. I've been too long.
Speaker 4:I'm glad to be back as I'm let loose. And let me tell you this right now I know a lot of you are like that is some of the shittiest singing I have ever heard before in my life. That's a lot closer to Brian Johnson than you think it is. It really is. It really is. Uh, kev, I was telling you um um that the last episode that the week before a childhood friend of mine had passed away, that's right, we had talked about that, yeah yeah, you know I got to some of the I was telling you about how.
Speaker 4:You know he started dealing drugs at 16 or 17 years old and you know the friend group, you know we were concerned about him and we told him hey, man, you're going to end up in jail, you're going to end up dead. You've got to stop that, you've got to quit that. And then he started buying all the concert tickets and the party materials and everything like that and we told him we support him at that time and I was talking to a few of my friends about it, we were messaging back and forth and they're like. They're like yeah, totally you should have. You know, you were influential with them. You were more persuasive. You should have told him not to do that.
Speaker 4:But you gave up so quickly and I'm like, gee, I didn't see you guys protesting that much. Yeah, right, as a matter of fact, billy, you, if I remember correctly, you at that point said you felt so bad that you didn't support him, that that you were, you, you were willing to help him in any way. He needed help. And shortly thereafter he's shoving balloons up your ass. I remember. I remember looking at you, billy, and going what are you doing? And Billy's like hey, motley Crue's coming. I don't want to make sure. I want to make sure we get set up.
Speaker 3:I'll be your doctor. Feel good, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4:So I'm like hey, don't judge me, billy. Yeah, and speaking of which calf, can you believe it? When you fly and you know this because you fly even more often than I do that you still can't have water. The TSA still confiscates your water.
Speaker 3:They do, yes, they do I fucking hate that.
Speaker 4:Yeah, it's stupid. So what I do? I'm like I'm not getting rid of this water. I will fill balloons full of the water.
Speaker 4:Talk about a wet fart. I'll go back into that little bathroom on the plane and I'll shit that out. I'll be like I got you TSA Dang. How funny. I don't know why that popped in my head when I was talking to Billy about that. I was like, hey, speaking of water balloons speaking of balloons. Wouldn't it be funny if All right, kev, you got this week's top three. What do you got for us?
Speaker 1:Just when you thought they couldn't count any higher. It's Tuttle Klein's top three.
Speaker 3:Well, it's funny that you were talking about grilling chicken, because we're on Labor Day we're just coming off a Labor Day weekend anyway and I wanted to know top three necessities at a picnic, at a Labor Day picnic.
Speaker 4:Definitely going to have to say you've got to have the highest quality meats that you can get, okay, and you don't skimp on meat. You know, I'm okay with discount here, discount there. You don't skimp on the meat, all right, it's got to be the highest quality stuff. The ribeye has got to be good and you don't just start the day that you're going to grill it, you marinate, let that thing sit overnight. Oh for sure, marinate, do whatever it takes, dry rub, make sure that's done overnight. So it's got. The highest quality meat is necessary.
Speaker 3:Got it Highest quality meat.
Speaker 4:Second thing is your BOC beverage of choice. Okay, Beverage of choice? Okay. Mine, of course, used to be a high-quality beer like a Guinness or a Shiner or something like that, or perhaps a good-quality bourbon on the rocks. All right. Now I like copious amounts of water. And now I like copious amounts of water. I like to just. You get to my age when you start actually clicking on the emails that talk about retirement, aarp and stuff like that. You want to make sure you're hydrated. So yeah, mine is just tons and tons of water.
Speaker 3:Okay, which is good. Yeah, Trish went 200 days in a row with drinking only water. She gave up iced tea, she gave up everything. Yeah, 200 days in a row.
Speaker 4:Wow, and what became of that?
Speaker 3:Yesterday she wanted to do 40 days for Lent, and then she decided I'll go a hundred days, and then a hundred days she goes. I think I can make 200. And then 200, she said I'm going to have a glass of tea.
Speaker 4:Oh, okay, so she did. I mean, was it something? Did she notice anything from it? Was it come out? Not really.
Speaker 3:Not a thing, no weight loss, didn't lose any weight. No weight loss at all. Still got migraines, yeah yeah. And her doctor said it's because there's she's got a hormonal imbalance and so they want to give her some sort of a pill and insurance won't cover it. So they're, they're, you know, insurance just says no, we're not going to cover that, even though it'll probably make you healthier. Um, so yeah, that's that's where we stand. Fuckers, those criminals. Oh my God, dude, I hate insurance.
Speaker 4:Oh, that's just, they have so much money too, they just have such huge cash reserves. That's another job, another vocation. Do not tell anybody you were an insurance adjuster or anything like that, if we have a post-apocalypse, because you'll be one of the people that are, you know, spinning over the fire with an apple in your mouth later yes, you'll be.
Speaker 3:You'll be pillaged, for sure yes, yes.
Speaker 4:So keep that to yourself. Don't say you're anything, nothing pharmaceutical, nothing, government, nothing uh insurance don't do that to you or banking yeah, oh, banker, yeah, don't say any of that.
Speaker 3:There we go, see, we're saving lives today.

Why not up? And then I will go out there just to watch the festivities why not? Even if I have no intention of swimming whatsoever, I will go out there and I'll cop a seat and I'll just sit there because it's going to be some of the best entertainment, because there's a lot of stupid free, cheap entertainment oh, it's fantastic, kevin, yeah you, you got.
