Tuttle & Kline
Ep #31: Unexpected Blazes, Athletic Feats, and Awkward Dates
Ever wonder how a simple drive could lead to a massive fire? We kick off today's show with some laughs about hair length and Houston's relentless heat before tackling the serious incident in La Porte. A rogue SUV triggered a substantial fire, causing oil prices to spike and local power outages. We dissect the media's portrayal and ponder potential environmental motives behind the incident. Then, on a brighter note, we celebrate Team Snowdrop's impressive journey to the championship game in a recent softball tournament.
Missed a game-changing softball moment due to a no-show? Tim Tuttle did, and he's here to share the ribbing he got for it, along with his fitness journey and nostalgia for replica MLB fields. Tim also opens up about his son Dal's stellar first football game and some amusing childhood crush stories. The episode wraps up with a humorous tale of an awkward date with a TV exec, leading to a candid discussion about the impact of words and the state of network TV. Plus, a shoutout to the $18,000 raised for pediatric cancer patients through the softball tournament.
Welcome to the Tuttle and Klein Show. How you doing, kevin Kline? I'm awesome buddy. How about yourself? Good, how's my picture?
Speaker 3:Oh you know if it looked any better. I would think I'm in a dream, fucking nightmare. Hey, your hair's getting longer, yeah it's getting longer. I've had people comment on it, kev, I kept it really short for almost 20 years when we moved here. Yeah, I know, yeah, and you know you remember it's pretty long back then it was. So I'm just gonna I figure you know I'm gonna grow it out one more time and grow it like longer than I ever had. What?
Speaker 2:just just to see it I I gave you credit because I was in Houston over the weekend and it was 97 degrees and 100% humidity. I would want to shave my head bald just to deal with the heat.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and you you caught, you know like a decent, like three or four days when you were here, yeah, but before that it was even nastier. We had you actually caught a cool down.
Speaker 2:Well, we didn't make it over to La Porte, but I understand it was a lot hotter over there.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Is that thing put out?
Speaker 3:yet, talking about the big fire, I don't know what the deal is, man, I think it's still going on. I saw some of the talking heads with microphones.
Speaker 2:Yeah. They've set up camp there. But yeah, they've set up camp there, but they did determine what caused it. What is it uh? Somebody drove an suv through the gate and ran it why they they say that it's not terrorist related, but that is the cause of the pipeline burst. That if that forced uh 700 and some odd people to not have power during 100 degree heat in houston and has forced an evacuation of an entire school district and an entire neighborhood, do you?
Speaker 3:think that they're telling the truth about terrorism.
Speaker 2:Yeah well, I always take, uh, what I hear in the media with a grain of salt. Now you know you know.
Speaker 3:You know, as we're home stretch, uh to election. The last thing that they, the establishment, wants is some terrorists that walked through the border over the past three years did this.
Speaker 2:See, I thought that you know, once I heard that it was, somebody drove through and did it with an SUV. I thought it was for environmental factors.
Speaker 3:I wouldn't nothing for environmental factors, I wouldn't nothing would surprise me, but I did notice how the price of oil went up since it happened.
Speaker 2:Yeah Well, because it was actually unrefined crude that was burning. So yeah, of course you know, until they shut that thing off, it's going to burn out, Sons of bitches. I know.
Speaker 3:How are you doing buddy? How was the softball tournament?
Speaker 2:Softball tournament was great. For the first time in Derrickson Diamond softball history, team Snowdrop made it to the championship game.
Speaker 3:Way to go, man. I'm so sorry I couldn't play this year. I had the boys this weekend.
Speaker 2:Everybody was wondering where you were, because we were talking about it before that. You were going to play and I had people coming up to me going hey, where's Tuttle?
Speaker 3:I wanted to play so bad. I mean, kev, I even for a while was, uh, you know, working out a little bit, working on my softball swing, which is a downward swing. I don't know if you knew that or not, it's a downward swing.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:And that gives it the lift up, the backspin up, and that's how I used to poke those things over the wall.
Speaker 2:Right, yeah, no, I knew you were working out in in. After we lost a big time in the championship game, I talked to the team and I said you know this isn't your fault, this is Tim Tuttle's fault, totally Cause he didn't show up.
Speaker 3:Totally. I, I can't. Is there? Is there a fence, by the way, on the field?
Speaker 2:Oh, Tim, you would love these fields. They're replicas of Major League Baseball Stadium.
Speaker 3:Oh shoot man, no matter what happens, I'm playing next year, no matter what happens. Okay, all right.
Speaker 2:I'll have the boys come and be bat boys. We would love that and Timmy would get a kick out of it. Dal might be a little too old to appreciate that.
Speaker 3:I'll just stay on the phone and talk to my girlfriend. Dad, he's got a girlfriend. Oh yeah, he has the longest relationship of all the eighth graders. Wow, they've been together now a year, or something like that. Wow, that's awesome. Yeah, he had his first football game on Thursday.
Speaker 2:How'd it go?
Speaker 3:Went well For somebody who never played football until this year, going against. You know Texas kids who have been playing since they can walk, I mean right, right out of the womb and into into sprints.
Speaker 2:That's how it is here in Texas. Yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, they, they, they. They get the. You know they, they, they. They pull the umbilical cord off, they weigh them and then they do a quick 40 check. He did really good for being brand new Defensive end offensive guard. He was on the kickoff coverage team and does he like it. He loves it. Kev Good, and something that I like too is he's one of the bigger kids.
Speaker 2:I figured he was because he's a large specimen. He's big.
Speaker 3:So you know he wears number 75.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 3:So I was telling him you know all the famous 75s throughout history, mean Joe Green.
Speaker 2:That was the first name that came to my mind Forrest Gregg from the.
Speaker 3:Green Bay Packers yes, yes, howie Long was 75. Was he? Yes, okay, and there are others. But yeah, I was letting him know and he's all excited and everything like that. But I saw his girlfriend for the first time at the game. She was there and I'm just like how is this even possible? Right, I mean, he's just a little kid man, but he's not at the game. She was there and I'm just like how is this even possible, Right, I mean, he's just a little kid man, but he's not.
Speaker 2:No, but he's not.
Speaker 3:He's got a mustache and sideburns and he's got a voice like this now and hey, at what age did you have your first girlfriend? Fifth grade Diane link. Diane link Okay, we. Fifth, grade Diane Link. Okay, and technically you know, because I moved from Indianapolis to Wisconsin. Yes, and I didn't tell her.
Speaker 2:Nice, yeah, that'll ruin a relationship Because.
Speaker 3:I thought you know, just in case you know we don't really move. I don't want to, because she was. I mean Diane Link was the cutie. I mean I bagged the fifth grade, you know Moby Dick.
Speaker 2:And it continues this day Not with fifth graders, but.
Speaker 3:No, no. So I was very and I worked on that since, you know, halfway through third grade. Oh, really you worked. Yeah, she was with Mike Schneider for a while. You know, big guy, he was the guy when we played football. He was so big that they used to have to tape his helmet up and he couldn't run the ball. Really he was that big huh. They marked him. They marked him with, you know, because if you were over like 100 pounds or something like that in third, fourth grade or whatever, they didn't let you run the ball. And that's probably a good thing, because nobody could ever get him down.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you'd hurt people too.
Speaker 3:Yeah, he was just one of those guys that throws bodies. Yeah, he's throwing bodies left and right, but he was a great linebacker, man Of course Nobody could go through him. Oh my God. They used to try to have like three or four kids block him and he'd just throw him bodies. He was a man child, but you know he did something stupid at the end of fourth grade with Diane Lincoln. There's old Timmy to pick up the pieces there you go.
Speaker 3:I'm sorry about you and Mike. I thought you two would go the distance. At least sixth or seventh grade Is there any way I can help you you okay, you need somebody to talk to him right here hey baby hey, baby, you like my bold haircut?
Speaker 3:baby me and pete rose, baby, I don't know how I did it. I don't know how I did it. I don't know how I did it. She must have seen something in me. Yeah, yeah. Anyway, kev, I forgot what the hell we were talking about. Oh, the softball tournament you guys close. Yeah, the most important thing is you're raising money for pediatric cancer patients. That's the most important thing.
Speaker 2:And wow, the Executive Hall of Fame game. So it's a game where the executives of the oil and gas industry donate their time, volunteer their time and then raise a ton of money With that one game. I think we raised close to $18,000 for Snowdrop With one game.
Speaker 3:That's awesome, Kevin Klein, yeah thanks.
Speaker 2:And then they woke up to the news on Monday that, wow, their pocketbooks are really going to be here.
Speaker 3:They're like hey, can I, can I get that back Exactly? Can I post date that check 2025.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 3:Hey.
Speaker 2:Kev I I.
Speaker 3:I got a neighbor. I feel, I feel I feel bad for him because I've seen it happen so many times and I know you have too, because you're a big traveler. Uh, he took his toddler on their very first flight. Uh, on the toddler's very first flight and he that the toddler. You know, one of the big things is their. Their ears can't handle the pressure.
Speaker 2:Absolutely.
Speaker 3:It was. It was 100% four and a half hour freak fest. And he said literally 250 people hate my guts. And I said, well, I, you know, usually the, usually the kid will get, uh, get used to it and then they'll just focus on their iPad and they'll be fine. And you know what he said to me. What did he say? My kid doesn't have an iPad. Oh yeah, he wants to keep the kids from being, you know, addicted to the screens. And I'm just like, are you fucking kidding me? I'm like that beautiful being. Steve jobs gave the world the biggest gift in history of an ipad and you have not taken advantage of it. I'm mad at you for the 250 people. Fuck face. Yeah, I mean that's. Forget about the mac, the macbook now. Forget about the Mac, the MacBook, forget about the iPhone. The greatest Steve Jobs invention was the iPad to give parents the peace and quiet, not only during the plane fright and everybody else on the plane, but when you need a quick babysitter.
Speaker 2:That's right.
Speaker 3:You just flip that to the kid and put it on spongebob squarepants done, peace of mind I'm serious, cav. You know I I don't want to. If I could, I would dig steve jobs up from his grave and give my hand job for just that ipad thing.
Speaker 2:Oh, wow, oh dang, thank you, and I'm not alone. No, probably not, probably not.
Speaker 3:And I'm a heterosexual, damn it, that's right. I don't give hand jobs to just anybody, no, but he learned a lesson. He goes yeah, I guess that won't happen again.
Speaker 2:I said, yeah, you have to do it, owe it, you owe it to everybody else but you got to applaud him for not wanting his child to get addicted to the screen that's fine when you're home, yeah, but for four and a half hours.
Speaker 3:All that bullshit, that idealistic bullshit, needs to go bye-bye you know, yeah, because if you take, you take, if you take your kid on a plane, you have a responsibility to the rest of the plane but man, if you are that parent, how shitty do you feel for four and a half hours?
Speaker 3:kev I. I was on a flight one time and with a woman whose kid was so awful and she was sitting right next to me and I felt so bad for her because everybody I mean people were you could hear the comments. Oh, yeah, you can hear that they're. They're trying to be under the breath, you know, in the seats around her, you know, but, but she can hear that, oh, yeah, yeah. And finally, I, you know, once we got, uh, you know, to our cruising altitude, 35 000 feet, I just said, hey, look, let me help out here, and I stood up and I put that baby right here, yeah, right on his shoulder and I sang Toor-a-loo-rah what Toor-a-loo-rah-lie, toor-a-loo-rah-loo-rah.
Speaker 3:It's an Irish lullaby. And not only did that work on my kids, it worked on this baby. This baby was out in 30 seconds.
Speaker 2:And by out he means out the window. It's the first case of plane suicide. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 3:Kevin.
Speaker 2:It doesn't matter, Kevin.
Speaker 3:And I, kevin, that's the thing. I don't know whether my voice is soothing at all or the kid's just trying to go unconscious to get out of this fucking horrendous nightmare, but it works, and it works every damn time. Don't question it, enjoy it, yeah, yeah. This kid is like oh my god, I, I better go to dream world right now before this motherfucker puts an ear out, because we're, we're coming up on the over in calarney part and I know he's going to botch that thing up.
Speaker 2:You know, very nice.
Speaker 3:Speaking of me. You got me singing. I'm going to continue.
Speaker 2:Oh my God, what a great day this is.
Speaker 3:Yeah, sure, there's a guy at the pool that took umbrage with a song that came up on my Bluetooth. You know I got the Bluetooth, I got the volume down. I don't want it too loud, maybe like a surrounding table or two can hear what I'm jamming to. And Elvis Presley's Suspicious Minds came on the Bluetooth.
Speaker 3:What's wrong with that song? Caught in a trap, I can't go back because I love you too much. Baby, it's a king, baby there it is. Uh, he's a black guy, but what's wrong with the song? He doesn't like elvis. He goes.
Speaker 3:Elvis ain't no king, okay, he stole all that music from black men. He, he did and he did and he knows that. And you know it started to get a little elevated because you know, again, I have the United Nations neighborhood and the pool is the United Nations too. And you know, some, some, some other white people were catching wind of that and not liking it and I was like, okay, I got all right, I'm going to, I'm going to use Tim Tuttle comedy to get us out of this, Okay, and you did what I'm the wolf man calling the wolf Right. I just said, hey, look, you know it's. It's well-documented that Elvis Presley stole from you know, Memphis black guys, the blue scene. Presley stole from, you know, Memphis black guys, the blue scene. What isn't documented is the fact that a lot of black music was stolen from Italian Americans. And then you could hear the needle and I was like, yeah, I mean gangsta, you know, gangsta, where are you? Where the fuck do you think that comes from?
Speaker 3:uh-huh you know, and then all of the uh necklaces and chains and medallions and stuff like that italian, americans solid point and I, and I finally went and I said here's my coup de, coup de gras, this is, this brought the whole thing home. And I said, and you, y'all think you're innovative in regards to the drive-bys, where the fuck do you think that came from?
Speaker 2:cue the godfather music and they were in.
Speaker 3:The whole place was rolling. They were laughing you know.
Speaker 2:But all comedy aside, there is a semblance of legitimacy to that statement.
Speaker 3:Kev. It is a well-known fact that a lot of hip hoppers not only love Scarface, al Pacino Italian-American but they're big fans of the Godfather trilogy too, and Goodfellas.
Speaker 2:Absolutely.
Speaker 3:So, and the gangster thing is hey man, that's Italian-American.
Speaker 2:Makes total sense. But I mean, wasn't america founded by an italian american?
Speaker 3:bingo columbus, there you go. I could just hear, I could just hear go native americans going.
Speaker 2:Really, all right, we were fucking here yeah yeah, you can't please everybody no, you, you can, you barely can please anybody anymore yeah, you can't, you can't, please that.
Speaker 3:You can. Just. You just do what you can in order to shuck and jive and not get get yourself knifed as you're walking back to your place absolutely yeah that's, that's, but, kev, this is becoming a huge problem of mine. I just I and we've talked about this ad nauseum. I mean, you're kind of the same way now too, as you get older. You just don't give a fuck about what you're saying. You're just, you know, you just say it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, sometimes I will, other times I'll. Yeah, I'll think about where I'm at.
Speaker 3:But I, you know, I get, I get this foot and mouth itis.
Speaker 2:Yes, you, you have had that more often than than I have for sure.
Speaker 3:It's been a detriment to all my life.
Speaker 2:Well, we made a good career out of it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, I know, I know, but you know, cab, I started talking to this absolutely gorgeous woman Okay, I mean just beautiful. And I'm not. You know, I've said this before. I'm not looking for a relationship or anything like that, Right, but you know, we to get to know you type things, favorite foods, favorite restaurants and she made the mistake of asking me my favorite TV shows. And I said TV shows. Why would I waste my time watching pharmaceutical companies pushing their poison and occasionally being interrupted by lowest common denominator ridiculously, garbage content. That is an actual affront to anybody with an IQ above room temperature.
Speaker 2:Valid point, but she probably didn't want to hear that.
Speaker 3:She's a TV executive.
Speaker 2:Is she really Well, you know what? She didn't have to pay for that Uh, that uh feedback. She got that free feedback right there, where consultants will cost you a lot of money to tell you that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I know yeah, but I didn't get a chance to fuck her.
Speaker 2:Oh Wow.
Speaker 3:I'm sorry, I'm just kidding, it's not all about that.
Speaker 2:She was really hot, though man Only 95% about that.
Speaker 3:She wore the string bikini and really.
Speaker 2:So there's no shot After saying that, there's no shot after saying that there's no shot.
Speaker 3:Nah, I mean it. Just it kind of cooled things off. I could tell that she was taken back by it. Oh God, like I was questioning her entire existence or whatever. I'm like I cannot. I'm thinking to myself, I cannot be the first person to introduce that concept to you. Yeah, that all you are is, you know, pushing the poison and with, uh, garbage content that's just ridiculously trash. I mean kev, if you watch any kind of network tv show or whatever, it's so bad oh, I'm sure it's.
Speaker 2:The only thing we watch is america's got talent. Everything else is, uh, streamed, yeah. And the other reason we watch that? Because I have a crush on Heidi Klum, that's all.
Speaker 3:And even that Kev when they throw out a commercials. I mean, how many prescription drugs do you get hit with before you get to see Heidi on the other side?
Speaker 2:Absolutely. It's every other spot, every other commercial. You know, and you just said something prior to that. That really is. You were questioning her identity. It was like an assault on her identity. You know, and you just said something prior to that. That really is. You were questioning her identity. It was like an assault on her identity. You know, I struggled with that after I retired from radio my identity, and it took a lot of therapy to find out that your job ain't your identity. Your job ain't your identity.
Speaker 3:What you do for a living ain't your identity. You know, I, I, yeah, I, I, yeah, I, I. I didn't give a shit whatsoever about that. Yeah, you know, we, you did it, we did it for a long time man, oh, I know, I know.
Speaker 2:But okay, so what I'm, what I was I was. I didn't identify as a radio personality because it kind of made me uncomfortable, but what I identified with was somebody who's employed, you know.
Speaker 3:Oh, okay.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so my identity was somebody who could provide, somebody who was employed. Um, I had a fucking cool job. And anybody who ever said to us you know, I love what you do, thanks for making my morning. I'm like dude, I'm no different than you. I have a. I just have a cool ass job. But yeah, so I had to. I had to do a lot of therapy on that one brother.
Speaker 3:I did not, I did not know you had that issue.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:I didn't feel that at all, for for a couple reasons of you know, we accomplished everything that we set out to accomplish, and more.
Speaker 2:Absolutely.
Speaker 3:You know, um, I never expected to get the Marconi's, never expected the ACM and the CMAs, never expected any of that shit at all. That was just gravy and I feel like that I had said everything that I can say on that medium. There's nowhere else to go, you know. Go, you know. And, and some of it was just like rehashed, you know, microwave reheated shit that I'd said 40 times before over the 26 years yeah you know you get to a a maximum point of what you can do.
Speaker 3:when a you have a boss, you know, and you have owners and you have the fcc, there's some shit you can't do, and you know. So I didn't feel that. Plus, I don't know if you remember or not, the first thing I did every morning I fired up my computer and had my charts on the screen.
Speaker 2:Oh, I know, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:So I was already transitioning into that. The last you know, five, six years I knew that, yeah, I was. I was transitioning. That became more of my identity towards the end than the radio persona.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Well now my identity is exactly where it needs to be, and it's exactly what it's supposed to be so. And there's, oh, a great husband and somebody who helps other people.
Speaker 3:There you go. Yeah Me I'm, you know.
Speaker 2:You're a great father.
Speaker 3:I'm a good father. I wouldn't say great Okay, Because I see great fathers.
Speaker 2:Actually I'm a pretty great father you love your kids dude, you would do anything for your kids.
Speaker 3:They're the best.
Speaker 2:Absolutely.
Speaker 3:I literally have the best four children any guy could ever ask for there you go um, but yeah, I mean good, good father, I I trade a little bit, I you know a little bit of a trader, but you know, just being a uh, a good citizen, you know, I'll help people out too yeah, yeah, and that's the golden rule man Do unto others.
Speaker 2:Treat people the way you want to be treated.
Speaker 3:Even people that quote unquote I don't agree with or that you wouldn't expect me to get along with. I treat them all fairly, absolutely Everybody fairly. I never bought into this. You know you're not like me, so I hate you and I want you to die and I want you not to have a job and everything. I never was that and I'll never understand it.
Speaker 2:No, because you learn from everybody. You know Exactly. Yeah, and the chance and my mother-in-law said this the other day she's like there doesn't need to be another debate because people already know how they're going to vote.
Speaker 3:They do they already know how they're?
Speaker 2:going to vote. And she says and you could talk to a Democrat as a Republican, you could talk to a Republican as a Democrat. You're not going to change their mind. So why not just maybe learn something? Not just maybe learn? Something. Yeah, you know, go into it.
Speaker 2:not wanting to change somebody's mind, but you know like? There was a guy on the plane yesterday. He had his head entirely shaved, except he had a long rat tail. No, he did, he really did. He was in his seventies and he had a rat tail that went all the way down to the middle of his back. I was dying to ask him is that something from high school? Is that a religious statement? Is that just? But I didn't have the balls to do it why I wanted to learn like a harry krishner or something like that.
Speaker 3:Yes, exactly interesting.
Speaker 3:Yeah, see, I would have, man I know you would have, I'd be like dude, dude, give me the origin of that shit, bro, you know, yeah, yeah, but yeah, I, I, I like, I like the fact that that there's a bunch of differences and everything like that. I love that. Maybe I did, I do, I mean I, and you know, I cannot, obviously I can't wait for this election to be over, and it probably won't be over in november oh god, I I don't think it will be no no, I mean this is it's so divided.
Speaker 3:I I mean, you know the, the guy has survived three assassination attempts in 63 days yeah, now you know the, the butler, pennsylvania one, the mar logo, mar lago one this weekend and of course that debate. I mean that was a two-hour hit piece, man.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that debate sucked.
Speaker 3:Oh, that's Cal. And the good thing is is even people that I know that will vote for Kamala regardless. They were like that's just ugly.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you don't do that.
Speaker 3:You don't do that, you know. I mean you know you're going to, you're going to fact check just him and not her. You're going to, you're going to step in on her side and help her out. I mean the, the woman moderator was a sorority sister of Kamala Harris's. Yeah, lindsay Davis, that's ridiculous man.
Speaker 2:Come on, they did not go to the same school. They were in the same sorority, the same Okay. So it's like every sorority and fraternity has a nationwide chapter. Um, and my, my wife, was in a sorority, so somebody that did not go to Drury university who went to Penn state university. There's still sorority sisters and that's where that comes from. But yeah, and if you don't think that makes a difference, oh, bullshit Totally. You don't have to know if you're a, if you're a, somebody who makes a decision at a business, and you see some two, two people with the same resume, but one was in your fraternity or sorority. Guess who's getting that job? And you never knew them. They just share the same Greek letters as you.
Speaker 3:They do that little handshake or whatever and it's all over.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's it, man. Yep, that's it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's just such bullshit and such dirty pool, man. I mean I get it. You know you're totalitarian, fascist communists who want to control everyone and everything and you hate him and what he represents. But Jesus man, at least have some subtlety, you know, again against reagan and bush and everything like that, at least there was some subtle subtlety. There's no subtlety anymore. It's just overt and it's just fucking ridiculous and all it does is divide even more man yeah, yeah, well, absolutely, it just divides even more.
Speaker 2:You know, uh trump came out uh after they arrested the gentleman uh on the golf course who had a scope and a camera and a gun appointed to him, and he dropped the unity thing and said it was biden and harris's fault to some degree, maybe, but it's the media's fault, dude, it is the media, oh they're, they are waiting, this shit they are calling him evil, they're calling him every name in the book and all you have to do is get one nut bag with an idea in their head and this is assuming it's not an organized thing from the cia, where they're doing these hits organized, but you, you get the nut bag factor.
Speaker 3:Yeah, oh, I'm gonna be a hero. I'm gonna save the world from a guy who's going to destroy the world, who's going to be a dictator. Yeah, the rhetoric is way out of hand.
Speaker 2:What poll do you believe? Because there's 8 billion polls out there and they all say something different.
Speaker 3:Yeah, they oversample to set up a narrative. They oversample in, you know, obviously they're Kamala, team Kamala. They'll oversample in Democratic strongholds to build the narrative that it's either close or she's leading, so it gives them room to steal it on election night. Well, she was close the whole time. You know, I do. The pollsters are in on it too. Everybody's in on it. There is nobody that's that's clean in this situation. Everybody's hands dirty one way or the other. It's that divisive and that and so easy to see too. It's just, it's like so obvious, and it's always been that way. It's always had that lean, but it was much more subtle, it was very subtle.
Speaker 2:Yeah, now it's. Now it's overt that lean, but it was much more subtle, it was very subtle.
Speaker 3:Yeah, now it's. Now it's overt and you're just. All you're doing is is is telling half of the country I hate you, fuck you. You have no rights. You, your voice means nothing. We're gonna tell you who's gonna lead you. We're gonna tell you how you're gonna live your that's. That's exactly how revolutions are brewed.
Speaker 2:That's how our revolution was brewed.
Speaker 3:Exactly, you're, you're, you're begging a hundred million people to bang your door down. I mean, go, go watch videos of the last hour of Muammar Gaddafi. They were shoving bayonets up his asshole. Really, oh yeah, you didn't. You didn't see that? Oh no, huh, oh yeah. Once, once the people get their hands on you, man, there's nothing you can do. Wow, you know all. You could have all the gold in the world, and you can't do a fucking thing, man no you know. So I just don't. I didn't know that about that?
Speaker 3:I didn't know that about coffee, oh, you didn't know that I know you've been on savory demise, but I don't know that about that.
Speaker 2:I didn't know that about coffee. Oh, you didn't know that. I know you've been on savory demise, but I didn't know that.
Speaker 3:He, he hid in a drainpipe.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I knew that yeah.
Speaker 3:And they pulled him out of the drainpipe and just started marching down the road and they were sticking him in the ass of the bayonet and he was you know blood everywhere, yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, you know, once you push the people too far, you you're. There's nothing you can do.
Speaker 2:Nothing that'll learn you. Here is what Peter Thiel said, and he didn't say anything about policy or anything like that. He was just talking about the election itself. Peter Thiel if you're not familiar with him, he's a tech billionaire. He has supported the Republican Party before. In this election. He is spending no money on Donald Trump or any other political Republican candidate.
Speaker 2:But he said on record the other day and I have a tendency to agree with him on this one he said it's not going to be as close as people think. And he said I'm not predicting that a Republican is going to win or that the Democratic candidate is going to win. I'm just simply saying it's not going to be close. And so they pressed him on that and they said how is it not going to be close? He said it's not going to be close for the Democrats because Trump could melt down. His support could melt down because of the eating, the cats and dogs and because of the assassination attempts. People don't feel like he would be able to serve four years. On the Democratic side. It's going to blow up because people haven't heard enough about her policies.
Speaker 3:She is the most communist of any other candidate. I mean other candidate, I mean the idea that we are one person away from having virtually a communist leader is shocking. I'm just glad my dad's not alive.
Speaker 2:But wait a minute, because Trump said he would be a dictator on day one. That's communistic.
Speaker 3:No, he will utilize. He didn't do enough to get rid of the graft and corruption and ridiculousness in the Beltway on his first term. He won't make that mistake again. That's what he's trying to say. Okay, I'm going to use my powers and he does. He has powers to reevaluate federal jobs, reevaluate, you know, federal jobs. He has a lot of powers in that regards to bring um uh, hearings, tribunals, all that shit. He's got power. Okay, that's what. That's what they're afraid of. They don't want the truth about who they really are and what they've done coming out. There's a lot of scandal, a lot of treasonous shit and crimes against humanity that have happened over the past decade.
Speaker 2:Let me ask you this then Trump wins, trump gets in office. The Supreme Court's given him immunity. They've given any president henceforth immunity. Could he change the Constitution and say it's not four years, it's not eight years anymore, it's until? No, he couldn't no.
Speaker 3:And he doesn't want until. No, he couldn't, no, and he doesn't want that either. Man, okay, yeah, he it foreign out. And then you know his, his plan is foreign out. I'll do the dirty work, I'll get my hands dirty to clean up America and make it right, and then I'll hand it over, hopefully, to JD Vance.
Speaker 2:I don't know if it could all be avoided, but if we had a viable third party to JD Vance. I don't know if it could all be avoided, but if we had a viable third party.
Speaker 3:You know, wouldn't that be refreshing. Yeah, like like somebody that's just like, that's way too fucking nutty. He's a little rough around the edges. Hey, I believe in getting rid of inflation, you know, getting rid of your income tax, you know, leaving you the fuck alone to raise your family the way you want to raise your family.
Speaker 2:You know what I'm saying. You talk about being a rough around the edges. When we were checking out of our hotel yesterday in Houston, there were three executives from the hotel chain and they were having a powwow outside of the doors the front doors and two of them were Middle Eastern guys and you could easily tell they were the investors, okay. And then the other third guy was the owner of the hotel chain, or at least somebody high up in the hotel chain, and the Middle Eastern gentleman who was talking to the hotel owner he said you've known me for however many years he goes.
Speaker 2:You know I talk frank. You know I'm not going to pull any punches. You know I'm going to tell you how it is. And he did, man, he just laid into this guy about how he's not running his business right, how this needs to change and that needs to change before they invest any more money and before they allow them to expand, before they invest any more money and before they allow them to expand. And you know what the guy, the hotel owner, said. He said you're absolutely right and that is the one thing that I appreciate about you working with you more than anybody else. He goes. I know exactly where you're coming from, and it was rough around the edges, dude. Oh my God, I'm a coward.
Speaker 3:I love when people are brutally honest. It's why that's why I feel like I owe it to anybody that asks me I own to them. To be completely honest, you know, as you see it, yeah. As I see it, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know how it is. There's, there's, uh, three truths that truth, that truth and then really how it is exactly. You know how it is. History is written by the victors yep, that's right our perspective.
Speaker 3:I mean kev the the uh. The history books in germany about world war War II are much different than what we read.
Speaker 2:Dude, guess who? I met a woman last week. She was born in East Germany when the wall was up. Really, that's pretty. It was pretty fascinating. Yeah, she was born in Dresden, behind the curtain, what did she say she said that it was amazing, when they got their freedom, that you know the family wanted to leave, but they felt that they couldn't. They couldn't leave.
Speaker 3:I would love for people who grew up in communist strongholds from East Germany and Soviet Union and Cuba and Venezuela. They just have a panel. This is how it really is. Ok, you need to be aware that it's not utopia. This is how it really is. They need to tell their stories, you know.
Speaker 2:Yeah, she, she had a very slight accent. It really is. They need to tell their stories, you know. Yeah, yeah, she had a very slight accent. She's been in America long enough where she had a very slight accent, so I knew that it was a little bit further than East Texas, but what gave it away was that she had muscles bigger than yours and she had a mustache.
Speaker 3:So I knew she was from East Germany and let me guess she was a swimmer. She was exactly. And I broke every record. I love that. That's awesome. Hey, kev, I got to ask you something and then we'll get on to some of our features. The first four years that I've lived here yeah when I walk outside my door, um, usually just like a lot of frogs hopping across the sidewalk doing their thing. This year, the frogs are gone and there's even more lizards okay what is that about?
Speaker 3:man did that, was there like a fucking turf battle, like a war could have been like that could have been um froggy, come out and play warriors come out to play. Warriors come up to play. Warriors come out to play.
Speaker 2:I just think the frogs got wise to it. You know, they're like man. Even this shit's too hot for us.
Speaker 3:They're like hey man, there's a huge pond about 150 yards from here. Now I know that seems like a long way. Not for us, though.
Speaker 2:No you hopped over there.
Speaker 3:We're out of here.
Speaker 2:And the lizards in the little. What do they call them? The anals? The anals, they're fast. They're not going to get eaten, they're fast.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, all right. Yeah, I've never seen it before when I walked down the sidewalk. I scatter at least seven or eight lizards off the sidewalk as I'm walking through there to go to, like, get my mail, like, like, like a hundred yards.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I believe it, I remember.
Speaker 3:I mean, there's just so many lizards. I was just total takeover and the frogs are gone and I'm just wondering, man, that, how bloody was that battle? How terrible was that? Okay, uh, kev, yeah, uh, let's do a be honest be honest be honest, be honest, kev. Is there anything more lame in football than somebody who gets up and does a celebration after just getting a first down and their team is losing by 17 or more points?
Speaker 2:no, that is lame, it's asinine, it's wow I I actually feel sorry for them. Don't you.
Speaker 3:I actually do, when it's like dude, you're down 17 points and you just got 10 yards. You think that's the biggest fucking thing in the world.
Speaker 2:Who did that? They all do now. They need to be benched.
Speaker 3:They all do. Now, man, they get a first down and it doesn't matter what the scoreboard says. Let me tell you this, man you get a first down and you're down 17. You quietly go back to that huddle and hopefully that you can chip away on the lead that they have on you yeah, you get back to the huddle as quickly as possible, because time's no wasting, kid exactly. You don't do there. Do the fucking dance while the clock is ticking off and you're down by 17 in the third quarter.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, masses is that annoying?
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Well, I think the excessive celebration is annoying. You know I'm old school, like your dad was. Just flip the ball to the ref and get back on it.
Speaker 3:Although I will say this Kev, there was a NFL wide receiver and I can't remember who it was who did a backflip over the goal line as he's crossing the goal line.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I saw that this weekend.
Speaker 3:yeah, backflip over the goal line as he's crossing the goal line. Yeah, I saw that this weekend. Yeah, was that the best? Okay, now that's impressive. I mean, if the russian judge is reaching for his scorecards, yeah, right, yeah, I thought that was actually cool.
Speaker 2:You actually did something creative yeah, but that was during the play. It wasn't post play, where they're, you know, causing extra time. Yeah, you know, it was during the play. Yeah, so games are long enough all right, what's your be honest? Uh, be honest, timmy, have you ever sent a?
Speaker 3:honest. Uh, be honest, timmy. Have you ever sent a cd text or a sexy text to the wrong person?
Speaker 2:oh my, god, yes, who did you send it to?
Speaker 3:I haven't, but yeah, you know, when your mom has to read something about your huge cock, it's not a good thing well I. I can't even remember how I finagled out of that one.
Speaker 3:I think I said some bullshit story and my mom, just to avoid the actual awkwardness, uh, believed it, I was hacked damn russians uh, yeah, no, I I think I said something like yeah, because this is when, this is when timmy was probably like two or three years. I handed my phone to Timmy I don't know what the heck he was pressing Mom, you know, with all the autocorrect stuff or anything like that, you know, and I think she was just like bullshit. But she went along with it because she just wanted to get it over with.
Speaker 2:Absolutely.
Speaker 3:And make sure it never happened again, you know.
Speaker 2:At least it was the words and not the picture.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, oh my God, dude, oh my God, wow, that's actually happened too before. I don't want to talk about it.
Speaker 2:Okay, we won't. That's all I needed to hear. Actually that it happened before. Yeah, yeah, that's all I needed to hear. Actually that had happened before. Yeah, yeah, that's funny.
Speaker 3:And obviously, Cat, you've never done that because you've probably never sent one sext text message ever in your life.
Speaker 2:No, actually I almost sent my wife a dick pic. What? Yeah, it would have been completely on accident. Yeah, here's how it almost happened.
Speaker 3:Let me guess you had a telescope. You're at Griffith Observatory and the telescope I had the Hubble for this one.
Speaker 2:No, I had run a 50-mile race and I forgot to put lube on the tip and so I had a.
Speaker 3:Uh, I had a blister, wait wait, what do you have to do?
Speaker 2:Oh well, you have to. Wherever you're going to chafe during a run, you usually put like lubricant there, whether like it's Boudreaux's butt paste or um uh, ad ointment, or what I use is trail toes On the end of your dick. You put it all over the place, dude, yeah.
Speaker 3:But you're, but you know, if, if you, you know, your description is that you're an Emmy.
Speaker 2:I am, I know. So, yeah, my, my, my, my clitoris was, my clitoris was chafed. I didn't say what I put there, I just said I put it on the tip.
Speaker 3:Yeah, kev's got the little guy in the boat, that's right, oh shit.
Speaker 2:But no, I did. I rubbed the tip raw when it was rubbing against my shorts, and so I took a picture of it and I was going to text it to her and I'm like, dude, that's a fucking dick pic, I can't send that.
Speaker 3:So yeah, I love it. Yeah, all right, kevin, I gotta.
Speaker 1:I got a top three for us just when you thought they couldn't count any higher.
Speaker 3:It's tunneling clients top three top three actors or actresses whose movie you pretty much will always watch because you know they don't do shitty movies. Oh wow, like like you trust them completely, like no matter what they're in. Okay, this person doesn't take crappy move. This is not Robert De Niro, who will do any fucking movie that's handed in front of them.
Speaker 2:Yeah Well, the first first name that came to my mind was them. Yeah Well, the first name that came to my mind was Bruce Willis. Bruce Willis, I know any Bruce Willis movie I'm going to dig. Yeah, he's got your number, not anymore. I don't think you can remember the lines.
Speaker 3:That sucks man. What exactly happened to Bruce Willis Kev? I know you've done the reading. It's dementia, it's to form a dementia yeah, he doesn't even know who he is anymore no, no, no, that's so crazy um, the other one I would probably say would be nicholson jack nicholson. Yeah, look, just as a side tangent, we'll get right back to your third one here. Is Jack Nicholson a great actor or is he just Jack Nicholson dumbo, dropped into every movie he does?
Speaker 2:and he's such a great persona and personality that it works you know, I think it's a little of both, but I think it's more. They Dumbo dropped Jack Nicholson and he's a great personality because, yeah, he, he does talk the same throughout every movie.
Speaker 3:It's the same. It's the same character, every movie.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:I don't want to. I do not want to discount, because when you don't have one of the people that I have on my list is the same way.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 3:Jason, because one of the people that I have on my list is the same way. Okay, jason Statham is one. Really, it's the same. It's him in every movie. I automatically watch all of his movies because I love that shit.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:I love what he does. He's one of my favorite actors and I just discovered him in my retirement years after movies. I never really watched a lot of movies, you know. You know, when I was raising kids, he's Fast and Furious, right? Jason Statham, yeah, no, no, no, he does. He may have done something in Fast and Furious, but he's the British guy who does, yeah, yeah, and I love his movies. I love his character. I mean, it's the same character, it's the same thing. Tough guy knows martial arts, beat the shit out of you Really good with guns, you know, and has a really good you know line here and there that'll make you laugh, and you know I, but it's the same guy in every movie. He's not, he's not stretching.
Speaker 2:He's not doing anything. My third would be Paul Giamatti Giamatti. I love Giamatti. Love Paul Giamatti.
Speaker 3:Good, now it's good I have um. Uh, obviously Jason Statham I got. I have Jody Foster.
Speaker 2:Oh, that was one that it was in the back of my mind. I'm like I was thinking about all the movies that she's done. Yeah, she, she would, she would be up there on mine.
Speaker 3:I like her because she's got good taste and she just won't do a shit movie Mm-hmm. I know that I'm going to have a good time watching the next two hours. She's such a great actress and she chews as well.
Speaker 2:Yeah, there's one movie of hers that I can't watch because it's the one where the rape in the bar. Oh, the Accused. Yeah, god, I hate that movie. Yeah, yeah, it's terrible.
Speaker 3:That is, that's terrible. I even liked her in Freaky Friday. You know when we were little kids. Remember that movie? Yeah, yeah, that's great. I love that movie. Yeah, and the woman who played her mom I forget who she is, man, I remember having a crush on her.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, who was that? I was like.
Speaker 3:God, that's a hot mom right there. I can't remember who it was and Kev will put it right down here on the screen. I put a little picture of her Freaky Friday with Jodie Foster and this person right here and you can see why. When that came out when I was like a 10-year-old or whatever I had an instant crush on her.
Speaker 2:There we go.
Speaker 3:There, she is right there, and then finally, denzel Washington.
Speaker 2:Okay, he's on a lot of people's list.
Speaker 3:He does not make bad movies, he just doesn't. I trust him. I trust him that he won't choose a bad script. Or, if he finds himself, like you know, 25% through with shooting, that he'll do something with the director and be like, hey, 25% through with shooting, that he'll do something with the director and be like, hey, man, we gotta, we gotta go in another direction, we gotta do something else here.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's right, that's how I see Denzel, I think I think my cause I haven't seen many Denzel movies. I think I might've seen one, one Denzel movie, what? Yeah, yeah, training day. Oh well, you love that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that was a great movie oh my god, that was a great movie. I mean, that was a tour de force movie. That was amazing. He was fucking awesome in that movie didn't he get it? Did. He got an academy award for that, didn't he? I think he did, yeah, yeah yeah, god, that was awesome, and and and ethan hawk did a good job playing it.
Speaker 2:He did Yep.
Speaker 3:Ethan Hawke, you know, outside of, oh Captain, my Captain, carpe Diem, you know he's just been. You know slacker hippie boy in every movie.
Speaker 2:Oh, you know what that brings up. Another, because you know Training Day is about it's a cop movie. You know that brings up colors. You know training days about it's a cop movie, you know that brings up colors.
Speaker 3:Uh, duval, duval you, he will never let you down nope, never will see like and some of his cast mates in the godfather series. They, they work too much, they do too much. Like denaro we've talked about, I mean mean De Niro now, like 75% of his movies, I'm like why the fuck are you doing this movie? Your legacy is going bye-bye by the minute.
Speaker 2:Uh-huh.
Speaker 3:And even Pacino will choose it.
Speaker 2:I was going to say Pacino.
Speaker 3:He'll choose a shitty movie here and there too, and I'm like no, you're Al Pacino man, you, you don't need to do this. I know you like to work. It's where you meet all your women, but you don't have to do this fucking turd, right, yeah, whereas you're right, duvall, you know it's going to be a good movie.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he was in one of my favorite Westerns, open Range. Oh great movie Unbelievable, my favorite westerns uh, open range.
Speaker 3:Oh great movie, unbelievable kevin, even kind of the the cheesy days of thunder, where it was great because he was in it yeah, cole trickle, he was a cole trickles. Uh, uh hit chief he made that with the days of thunder is the nascar movie with uh tom cruise. By the way, for those of you, uh, for those of you unaware, and just Duvall and the way he describes the drafting, I'm like this is so awesome.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he's phenomenal.
Speaker 3:Oh my God, he just he's one of those guys that takes over the screen. That's good stuff. I love it. Rabbit hole of the week. Okay. Kevin Klein. What rabbit hole did you find yourself in, kevin Klein? What rabbit hole did you find yourself in?
Speaker 2:It was work-related, Timmy. So at the Drury University, my wife's alma mater, I'm the hockey PA guy for them, and they started their season last week, and so I spent a boatload of time learning the new players. So that was yeah.
Speaker 3:Okay. So because it's hockey too, and you've got a lot of Russians and a lot of conson, of consonants, you have to practice those names, don't you?
Speaker 2:yeah, uh, they're. The bulk of their roster is all canadian, french, canadian oh shit yeah, there's quite a few french canadians on there okay, which one did you trip over the most? Francis young Maynard. But it's where he's from. That's true. He is from. We would say St Paul de Abbotsford, but that's not how the French say it, so you got to say it a little bit differently St Paul de Abbotsford, yeah, quebec.
Speaker 3:Quebec.
Speaker 2:Canada.
Speaker 3:St Paul de.
Speaker 2:Abbotsford, Canada. Say it again St Paul Diebutsford, canada. Say it again St Paul Diebutsford, quebec, canada. Oh yeah, it's kind of like I'm great, yeah, exactly yeah. And then there's one of the kids. He's from ANJE-GARDIEN, quebec, canada. Yeah, it's Ange Gardien, ange Gardien, ange Gardien.
Speaker 3:What if you like? What if you just American these things up? Would they get pissed or something?
Speaker 2:No, they wouldn't get pissed. No, but it's. It's not professional.
Speaker 3:You take, you take pride in, in, in accuracy.
Speaker 2:Yeah. So I mean I could say you know, at right wing from Ange Gardien, quebec, canada, Now everybody knows.
Speaker 3:I'd imagine that they're a little bit impressed that you pronounce it correctly.
Speaker 2:They're appreciative that I give it an attempt.
Speaker 3:Okay, so you're still not 100% on it.
Speaker 2:Oh God, no man, no no.
Speaker 3:I'm kind of intrigued, kev Like give me a hundred percent. Oh God, no man, no, no. I'm kind of intrigued, like give me a typical call and then, who knows, maybe you could put just a little clip in here of you calling some action or doing some PA announcing or whatever.
Speaker 2:The big thing that they like is when I do the the player intros because, like they played the Alabama Crimson tide this past weekend, Okay, and I announced the Alabama Crimson Tide like this here's the starting lineup for the Alabama Frozen Tide. At left wing, Joe DiCola At goal Okay so that's what it is, and then we play serious. It's almost like the Chicago Bulls we play serious from Alan Parsons' project and then and now, panthers fans, yeah, and then, and left wing, our sophomore from Winnipeg, manitoba, canada number 77, cody Larrington.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's how I used to do it, for Audrey's volleyball too. So you have to do it, you've got to. You've pumped them up man, you've got to jack them. Let me tell you this as the PA, you cannot discount the importance of the PA announcer for the home team. No, I mean, you set the entire tone and when I was doing PA announcing I got these players jacked up.
Speaker 2:So they played. Friday night was the season opener, and then Saturday they played the same team and it was the second opener. And then Saturday they played the same team and it was the second game. And one of the new kids that made his debut got with me before the start of the Saturday game and he goes. Dude, he goes. I've been playing hockey for 19 years. 20 years now he goes. That was the best introduction I've ever had, boom.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that makes you feel good, doesn't it? It does, it makes you feel good, doesn't it?
Speaker 2:It does. It makes you feel real good, yep, yep. So yeah, so I felt like I did my job, but anyway, that was my rabbit hole the Drury University men's hockey team, and that's why I was glad that you wanted to record this early today, because I'm doing I'm hosting their coaches show and it's today. We'll record that today and uh, and it'll be up a little bit later on this week. But yeah, so that's what.
Speaker 3:That's why I was glad that we could go a little early well, I'll just give my rabbit hole and we'll wrap up, because I know you probably want to do prep for that or something like that well, no, I want to edit our, our episode and get it posted before the show tonight.
Speaker 3:I'm prepped on that thing okay, uh, kev, my rabbit hole was you know I I'm my eighth grade son, dallas is playing his first year in football and he's playing defense, and you know kickoff, uh, coverage. So you know I'm I'm teaching him how to tackle. You know, I'm showing him what I used to do to just fucking light people up. You know, my whole thing was sticking the right shoulder pad, if I could. Sometimes it was left, though, if they made a juke move or whatever, at last second, but sticking the right shoulder pad into the belly button and try to split them in half with my shoulder pad, that was my thought.
Speaker 3:And the belly button is key because that's the only part of the body that doesn't move. Yeah, when you're, when you're juking you key on the midsection. That's all I did. That's all I did. You know, once I zoned in, I played. I played defensive back, mostly safety, sometimes cover corner, but mostly safety, and that's it. I mean when I, when I'm zoned in on you, it's all belly, belly button midsection. And so I'm teaching him. You know that. And, by the way, he even said Dad, thanks so much for teaching me how to tackle. He said that to me. He goes I love you, dad, because he knows how to drill somebody.
Speaker 2:And avoid injury at the same time.
Speaker 3:Exactly, man. I said you know, if you stick the shoulder pad in the belly button you don't get hurt. And I said you know, if you stick the shoulder pad in the belly button you don't get hurt. Now, unfortunately for your father, there were some occasions that you know you couldn't avoid the helmet to helmet shit, and you know I had three concussions.
Speaker 2:Uh-huh.
Speaker 3:But so I was watching videos. I was also showing him videos of some of the nastiest hits in football history. And because you know they don't see that much of that anymore, because it's a tame version, you know it's not quite flagged football, but it's getting there, yeah, in comparison to what we played.
Speaker 2:Who was the Raider that gave Daryl Stingley the hit across the middle? Jack Tatum, jack Tatum. That's right, ronnie Lott used to hit the hell out of people when he played for San Francisco 49ers.
Speaker 3:Okay, Kev, let me tell you this even though he was a San Francisco 49er and as a Packer fan, I should hate him just on principle. I used to pattern my safety game after him.
Speaker 3:After I used to pattern my safety game after him, after Ronnie Lott, I just the best thing for me is the guys up front defensive line and my linebackers slow a runner up and just kind of hold him there and I just boom. You know that was the greatest thing in the world. And there's nothing like sticking the shoulder pad. There's no. It's the greatest sound in the world outside of a woman. You love having an orgasm Of the sound when you stick the shoulder pad into the belly button and you hear his air go out. That's the greatest sound ever.
Speaker 2:Kind of a muted Elvis. That's what it is.
Speaker 3:I mean it is the greatest sound ever. If that's what it is, I mean it is the greatest sound ever. And you know that's we. We would like look for that sound, you know? Yeah, because you'd walk back into the huddle after the play and they'd be going title fuck, he was looking for air baby he was looking for air way to go.
Speaker 2:Title you know, you know I'm saying yeah, I know exactly what you're saying and the great thing about that is you're not going to get hurt and that's not an injury. That's going to put them on the sideline for a long period of time. They're going to go the sideline to catch their breath and then they're back out.
Speaker 3:They're back out, but they ain't coming in my zone.
Speaker 2:No, they're not no, you've made your presence known that's what I and Kev I even.
Speaker 3:I try to do that like early in the game If they were going out for a pass or whatever and I was covering them. I tried to stick them early in the game, hard and you can see them. Even some of the really good receivers, they used to get the Tyrannosaurus Rex hands. They didn't want to reach out and I was like, oh, I own you now, man, I own you now. Oh, absolutely.
Speaker 3:Yeah, now some of the shit that we did. You cannot do anymore, not even close. But yeah, I was watching a bunch of those videos Kev some of the greatest collisions in the history of football on video with my son and getting them ramped up, but I did. I just want to say this because I know there's probably some concern out there. I showed him ones, you know. When I showed him one that you couldn't do anymore, I would let him know. I'd say you can't do that anymore.
Speaker 2:Let me ask you this, because I never did play football but if you pull up, aren't you putting yourself at more risk of injury than if you go full bore?
Speaker 3:Kev, I don't know how it's even possible to pull off. I mean, because all we were taught was, you know, the shoulder pad into the belly. But you, you know, I would try to get horizontal Superman.
Speaker 2:Okay, you can't do that anymore.
Speaker 3:Yeah, once I get into that position, I can't stop, right, I can't stop. You know, what am I supposed to do, like stop myself in midair and put myself back on the ground softly standing up?
Speaker 2:No, it's amazing.
Speaker 3:It's over. Yeah, if I could do that, that's.
Speaker 2:Oh man, that that TV executive would want to get right back with you brother, believe me, you're right man.
Speaker 3:We're just a bunch of drug pushers with shitty content. Mr superman, backwards. That's funny, great shit. All right, kevin klein.
Speaker 3:This has been a blast man, I was looking forward to this all weekend long uh, kev and I, I noticed I I had the alert because I I subscribed to your. Kevin klein has another podcast called the fuzzy mike the fuzzy mike and I get the alert because I subscribe to your. Kevin Klein has another podcast called the Fuzzy Mike the Fuzzy Mike and I get the alert when it comes out because I subscribe to it and you should too. But what is it? Obviously, I'm going to be looking at it later, but what is it? For those who are curious of what you're up to on the other side, Thanks for saying that and thanks for promoting it, buddy, to me.
Speaker 2:In all 101 episodes that I've put out, the one that is out this week is the most important one ever that I've put out. Whoa trauma, and you just can't shake the memory of it and it is debilitating. This is the episode for you because I have Dr Laurel Weers on with me and she is an expert in trauma elimination and she's so atypical, tim. I asked her I said so how many sessions would it take for me to get over this trauma? She goes one. I'm like is that typical for everybody? She's like, yeah, it usually doesn't go past two. I'm like that's not a real good business model for you, laurel. She's like I'm not in it for a business model. She goes I'm in it to help people. And she says my thought process behind that is there are so many people out there with trauma that there's plenty of work.
Speaker 3:And she's right there's plenty of work and she's right. Yeah, so she would be able to help me with the traumatic experience and the memory that I have when the referees handed the super bowl to the denver broncos in 1998, against my green bay packers, to give john elway some kind of fucking lifetime achievement award instead of playing it out how it should be.
Speaker 2:Now let's talk about this for just a second, because, yes, he loves his Green Bay Packers a lot, and that is about 75 percent of what he's talking about. The other 25 percent is that I'm a Broncos fan and he just likes to stick it to me a little bit like that.
Speaker 3:You know that was bullshit, though. You know that was a bullshit game, and I even saw Santanaana dotson a while back. He was the defensive lineman, defensive end him and reggie white. He actually got a sack in the uh super bowl. But I, you know, I always say, santana, you got a ring for my packers and he even says he goes, I should have two, but we got to give john elway a lifetime achievement award.
Speaker 2:Well, you know what? We're seeing it again in the NFL. Even my brother-in-law, who bleeds Kansas City Chiefs. He said they're getting some favorable calls.
Speaker 3:It's out of hand. It's out of hand. I understand that it's good for business. The Kansas City Chiefs are good for business. I get that. Patrick Mahomes is good for business. Andy Reid is good for business. Travis Kelsey with Taylor Swift up top that's good for business. Andy Reid is good for business. Travis Kelsey with Taylor Swift up top, that's good for business. But come on, man, they don't need calls. They're so fucking good. They don't need these calls, and there's nothing wrong with them dropping a game or two here and there.
Speaker 2:Oh, it's going to happen. They're not going to go undefeated. Yeah, they're not going to go undefeated.
Speaker 3:There. Yeah, they're not gonna go undefeated. There's no way that that era's gone. Man, it's just shoot it straight. It's the same thing with politics, man. Yeah you know, referee, just shoot it straight. Man, just shoot it straight exactly if you.
Speaker 3:If you don't win, it's not that big of a fucking deal unless you've done some evil shit, then you gotta. I mean you're already gonna be damned to hell anyway. You know you might as well pay a price now. So it's not as bad in hell. There you go. I've told you that calf is if you haven't paid the price in this lifetime, you pay the price in the next lifetime. You know, if you got to go do 10 years for treason or whatever you know, in prison, at least you're not going to come back as a dung beetle in the next fucking life and nobody wants that.
Speaker 2:Nobody wants to be a dung beetle eating shit for the rest of your life, holy cow. But yeah, so yeah, she would be able to help you get through your green bay packer trauma I love the way you brought that all the way around well, I just want you know to bring it back full circle.

Speaker 2:The feedback is phenomenal. At the softball tournament there were a lot of people coming up to me saying man, we're so glad you and Tim are doing this podcast because we stopped listening to the radio when, when you left. And then, when Tim left, we really stopped listening to the radio Like like. Like they gave it a second chance after I left and they were like hey, you know what? Hey Klein wasn't really that necessary. He was like the appendix.
Speaker 2:But then when you left they were like dude, we're done with it. And so they don't listen to radio anymore. And they were like man, we listen every week.

I mean, you know you, a lot of times when you're going through and we'll get it from him specifically, but you're, you know, adrenaline keeps you going, even though you should have been done weeks ago. Oh, absolutely. And now that he's in the rest mode, it's all coming on him uh-huh so you know, fuck I I'm telling you, you know all this mode, it's all coming on them, uh-huh, you know, fuck.
Speaker 2:I'm telling you, you know all this shit too, no it's like when you have to shit really bad, and you can hold it and hold it, and hold it, but then when you get home you can barely make it in the house.
Speaker 3:Totally Right, exactly yeah, kevin, there's so many different parallelisms you can get from taking a shit and life. You know.
