Ep #35: Navigating Debts and Drives, Laughs and Lessons with Tuttle & Kline
Ever wondered how a fun-filled fantasy about NHL announcing can turn into a deep conversation about socio-political issues? Join us as we joke about Kline's non-existent future with Seattle’s Kraken and take a thoughtful dive into the sensitive topic of team names and historical oppression. You'll find yourself pondering the staggering U.S. national debt and its implications for future generations. We also kick around the implications of massive NFL contracts, using Deshaun Watson as a case study, while celebrating the unwavering drive of athletes like Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady.
Switching gears, we explore the humorous side of life, from midlife crises and Corvettes to brewing beer and wine at home. Share a laugh with us as we recount family stories, including a child’s artistic take on their father. We also navigate the murky waters of sports betting laws, especially in states like Texas and Missouri, considering both the frustrations and potential educational benefits. As we reflect on the liberating power of indifference to societal expectations, we share personal anecdotes that emphasize the importance of maintaining boundaries and self-reliance.
From college debts and student parking woes to political controversies and personal tales of near misses, this episode is a roller coaster of emotions and insights. We touch on security threats at political rallies, delve into the nuances of social media censorship, and catch up on the latest in college and professional football. With a nod to childhood memories and the thrill of life's scariest moments, our stories promise to entertain, inform, and provoke thought. Remember, your support helps us keep these conversations going, so tune in and stay fuzzy, friends!

Speaker 2:Tuttle Kline, are you not entertaining me?
Speaker 3:What a weirdo.
Speaker 2:I know I'm weird as hell. How's it going, bro? Good man, I'm getting weirder and weirder too. Kevin, I love it. It's a nice shirt. I like that, my Henley. Yeah, thank you. Thank you, I can't. Yeah, all right, I like it too. How you doing, man.
Speaker 3:I'm doing fantastic, Kelly. How are you?
Speaker 2:You seem busy as shit these days, brother Brother, I got to tell you, man, I barely have time to breathe. It's amazing. Yeah, you love it too. I mean, for those unaware, kevin Kline is a brain that needs to be active, otherwise people are in trouble.
Speaker 3:Especially himself yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:I've been so busy with the move, with hockey, with just podcast prep, I haven't had time to run.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but I noticed that you had some. You're doing some on-site broadcasting with the hockey team.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yesterday. Yeah, I host a coach's show.
Speaker 2:I love that.
Speaker 3:Timmy, I got to tell you, man, I'm so blessed to be a part of the Drury Hockey Program. It happened by accident and, man, I'm just so excited. I've been getting great feedback from the players, from the players families, and the opposing team this past week said I'm the best announcer in the league oh, that's great news, kev.
Speaker 2:It's just a matter of time before you get called up to the show.
Speaker 3:The st louis blues give you the jingle doubt that's ever gonna happen, brother but you would take that in a second I would be happy to take that in a second, for sure as a matter of fact, any nhl team, except maybe ottawa. Nobody wants to live in, fucking ottawa no, a lot of the players come from canada on the jury team and they're like, yeah, no, we're glad to get out of there yeah, yeah, yeah, it'd have to be.
Speaker 2:You know, you want something like florida, the panthers, or something like that.
Speaker 3:You know, oh you, oh, you want Seattle. Man the Kraken. Would that be so cool to announce the Kraken, the Kraken.
Speaker 2:The Kraken or you know, utah, when they finally get a fucking nickname. Yeah, yeah, what is their nickname?
Speaker 3:right now.
Speaker 2:The Utah Hockey Club. That's what they're called.
Speaker 3:Well, remember when the Washington football team had to change their name to the Redskins? That's what they called themselves the Washington football team, or something like that.
Speaker 2:They had to change it from the.
Speaker 3:Redskins, Right from the Redskins. Now they're the commanders.
Speaker 2:I think that's what Utah and everybody's doing now. They have to run it through the political correct filter just to make sure everybody signs off on it. You know, because there's a lot of hypersensitive pussies out there Like, oh my God, it's so racist, shut up.
Speaker 3:Would you be offended at all if, say, New York called themselves the White Skins?
Speaker 2:New York White Skins, new York Honkies, new York Crackers. I don't give a fuck. I know who I am and others don't define me. Why give anybody that kind of power over you, where a word will just wreck your shit? You're a weak human being. You are, you're flat out a weak human being.
Speaker 3:In defense of the Redskins and the Blackskins and all that kind of stuff. We've never been oppressed. You know we actually stole the land from the redskins and you know we we did bring slavery to america, so that's where that comes from. Yeah, yeah, no, you would you do empower the people who oppress you by being offended, right?
Speaker 2:no, stop, I didn't do any of that shit. I didn't. This is true, and I guarantee you this. I would have been one of those dissenting voices going, hey, this shit is fucking wrong, dude. Yeah, this is bad karma for all of us and future generations. I would have been a dissenting voice. So, no, no, I'm not gonna accept. I didn't do it. I was born in 1968 and I'm just trying to make ends meet man. I'm just trying to get me three good meals a day, take care of my kids, maybe watch a little bit of football and have a decent life without having people in my fucking face and treading on me. That's it.
Speaker 3:Well, you know you bring up just trying to make ends meet. New numbers came out to me. The United States is $35.7 trillion in debt.
Speaker 2:I told you many years ago, kev, the powers that be the shadow government, are trying to crash it on purpose. There's no way you can ever pay that off. Government are trying to crash it on purpose. There's no way you can ever pay that off. That can't be paid. It's impossible. Divide that by $370 million and that's how much it is per person. I mean, a new child being born is hit with that debt and they know they can't pay it off and the only reason that they're doing that is to crash it on purpose and go oh, we're so sorry, your little capitalism didn't work. Welcome to communism, fuckers. And oh yeah, by the way, we are exempt from it. We're going to fly around in our private jets to our private islands and fuck who, when and where we want.
Speaker 3:Well, fortunately for you, I read the rest of the story and we already have that breakdown of how much it costs each individual American right now.
Speaker 2:And this is how you need to frame it Kev. Every single newborn American, like there's one born right now. Let's call him Phil Davis from Landover, maryland. Little Phil Davis, eight pounds one ounces. How much has our fucking criminal operation government hit him with in terms of debt?
Speaker 3:Phil, welcome to the world. You owe $104,000. That is criminal. No, here's the thing, tim. Every household in America right now. If we paid $1,000 per month, every household in America, a thousand bucks per month, it would take 22 years to pay off the debt. That is criminal. $35 trillion would cover four years of college for every graduating high school senior for the next 103 years.
Speaker 2:And the funny thing is, kev, is that they know that it's going to crash. They did it on purpose to crash it, and the funny thing is they actually think they'll be safe in their armored redoubts or their bunkers or whatever. You're not going to be. You're not going to be. You won't get your private jets off the runway. You'll be overrun by angry people.
Speaker 3:And now they're saying that it doesn't matter who gets in office in the next 10 years. We'll add 3.5, 3.7 trillion.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's Kev, it is criminal.
Speaker 3:You're kind of an economist you deal with money and you deal with numbers. Why does it get this way? Why can the government not budget themselves? But if we do, we get foreclosed on.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because they are above us. They are the elite, we are the unwashed masses, we are their slaves, we are their subjects. There's something that happens when they get power either power by the billions of dollars that they have, or power by when they're elected into office and the billionaires give them that power. You know what I'm saying? It's just a power thing. There's something twisted wrong that happens with the brain. When you have power where nobody can take anything from you, then they can't. I mean, nobody's going after any of these evil fucks for what they did during COVID, the lockdowns and all that stuff. Nobody goes after anybody at all.
Speaker 2:In regards to scandals, you hear corruption all the time. Does anybody ever get arrested? Does anybody ever go to prison? 2008 subprime mortgage they knew they were doing this to the American people and we were going to hold the bag and they laughed at us when they did it and the bailout still happened. Did anybody go to prison? Not one banker went to prison Not one. The game is rigged and until they go and the unfortunate thing for them is they're so arrogant and so evil they think that they can get away with anything they will eventually push it too far and then it's over for them.
Speaker 3:You talk about the game being rigged. Let's turn our attention to a 180 and go talk about the Dallas Cowboys. Nothing is rigged on them. Holy smokes, man. You know what I think this is? Because they got their asses kicked again at home. Uh, to the detroit lions. I really literally think this is the football gods coming out and saying you know what? Dak prescott ain't worth 60 million a year. And this is your punishment kev I.
Speaker 2:I have said that you know he is a serviceable quarterback. Yes, he has all of the skills. He's got the throws. He can even make the tight window throws. He can't do it under pressure. And Kev again, he is a victim of what I've been saying for a long time as soon as you give someone the bag, the big amount of money, the huge contract, they don't give a fuck anymore.
Speaker 3:Well, case in point, Deshaun Watson. They don't care. 230 million guaranteed and the dude can't win a game.
Speaker 2:The second that somebody gives you that money, kevin Kline, your thought immediately becomes okay I'm set for life. My next three or four generations are set for life. I just got to make sure I don't get hurt and mess myself up. All they care about is then they not getting hurt. So football, that is dangerous.
Speaker 3:But here's the thing, and there are exceptions to the rule. Ok, Mahomes is an exception to the rule. Dude got paid 500 million and all he cares about is winning football games. Brady was in it to win football games. In the Major League Baseball, we see Shohei Otani, who is the premier player in the league right now. He deferred $68 million of a $70 million per year contract to win games. There's the exception. But yeah, you're right, For the majority they get paid. What do they got to prove?
Speaker 2:I just think Otani wanted to make sure that there's not too much money was available for his assistants and people around him to gamble it away.
Speaker 3:It's so very true. I think that was 16 mil.
Speaker 2:I'm not buying the teammate benevolent shit. He just wants to make sure. Just a little at a time, just give me a little at a time. Yeah, kev, but you're right. I mean, but for every one of those there's 10 that, oh, I'm, I'm set. Now I got the bag yeah yeah, oh you, oh you. You want, you want me to do two a days. I don't think I'm gonna be doing two a days. I'll see you, uh.
Speaker 3:Opening day and you talk about injuries. Aideniden Hutchinson yesterday goes down with a broken leg. He'll be out for the rest of this season, but they're optimistic that he might return for 2025. It was a nasty injury.
Speaker 2:Kev, let me just say this, since we're on the NFL I do some handicapping. I have handicapping models, excel spreadsheets with numbers. I punch in with values and all that stuff. Last week I was four and one, this week three and oh, the only problem is I'm in the state of Texas and I can't bet.
Speaker 3:Yeah, this is true.
Speaker 2:I'm just like come on, man, we're Texas, we're built to gamble. Watch the movies, watch all the old west. That's what we do.
Speaker 3:Jesus. We have a measure on the ballot for online gambling here in Missouri coming up in three weeks and the ads going on. There's teachers who are doing the vote no on number two because the schools aren't going to get the money. But what if the schools do get the money and who is it really hurting? Who is it really hurting If you approve online gambling?
Speaker 2:nobody right you, you, you let adults be adults and makes this decisions about their own money for themselves. You treat us like children and it is not your position or your duty to treat us like children. We can make our own. Yeah, and you said say no to number two. Yep, we are highbrow. Don't think I didn't catch that one, kevin klein? Um, kevin, I sent you a, a picture.
Speaker 2:I don't know what to make of this dude, this picture's awesome um, timmy was doing some portraits yesterday and he has a nice portrait of of his father. Kevin put it on the screen right here. Yeah it's. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love the best dad ever thing. I'm a little concerned about what his mind thinks I look like. Does that remind you of anything, kevin Kline?
Speaker 3:It does. As I texted you back, I said, this immediately puts you on the no-fly list. You look a little bit like Bin Laden.
Speaker 2:There's a little of that there, but, kev, what immediately struck and I just sent it to your phone and you'll probably 1981, lyle Alzado For sure. Yeah, kev will put it on the screen right here. Uh, they're right next to each other. This is what my son thinks I look like, and this is 1981 la raiders, lyle alzado. Now, don't get me wrong. I mean, he was a great football player, but you know, I'm hoping that I have a better look than that, son. That's all I got to say.
Speaker 3:Yeah, isn't it funny how their images and perceptions. That's funny, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Well, you know, obviously you know he's eight years old. So the skill level, skill level. I mean, he does that shit when he's 16. I are talking watch out, he'll be bigger than you. I know they all will be. Uh, kevin klein, um, I gotta know, and everybody wants to know too uh, what's the latest in regards to your quest to get a corvette? Kevin klein, uh, basically wants to feed into the stereotype midlife crisis man with a small penis and purchase a Corvette. What I understand is you actually had a test drive.
Speaker 3:Well, yeah, so my friend Stan, who I didn't know, listens to the podcast, listens to the podcast, loves the podcast. Oh super. Yeah, great guy, dude, you want to talk about a great brewmaster. Dude is an awesome home brewer. Oh, cool. Yeah, great guy, dude, you want to talk about a great brewmaster. Dude is an awesome home brewer.
Speaker 2:Oh cool.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but anyway he.
Speaker 2:Do you remember when we made our own beer? I do, and our own wine? We made our own wine. Hey, let me tell you, the beer was a little. That was pretty good wine we made, though.
Speaker 3:It was really good wine. Yeah, I mean that laid back for a good five years.
Speaker 2:I thought about that, you know, a while back. I was like how much money if we would have rolled in a little merchandising. I mean, I'm sure the peeps would just love Tuttle Cline wine.
Speaker 3:We should have done that. It rhymes, that's right.
Speaker 2:There's still time to do some Tuttle Cline wine. It's really, that's right. There's still time to do some Dudley Klein wine.
Speaker 3:It's really really fine.
Speaker 2:The only problem is we'd have to hang out again.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, you wouldn't like that, yeah.
Speaker 2:That's back when Kevin and I were in our 20s and we used to actually hang out with each other.
Speaker 3:Like all the time, like all the time. So yeah, but anyway, stan heard us talking about my corvette, uh thing, and he messaged me and said we need to talk. So got together with him on thursday this past week and, sure enough, he's got a 2024 c8. Right, yeah, I never. I never even sat in one.
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah that, how beautiful was that uh, uh, tim, it was amazing.
Speaker 3:Uh, because there's a feature. This is total Klein. Okay, there's a feature on the Corvette that's called launch mode, all right, and basically it's how they test their zero to 60 time, all right. And so Stan pulls onto a country road and he goes you want to see it? And I'm like I guess so. So he does launch mode. We did zero to 60 in 2.9 seconds. I had, tim, I had two G's against my chest and you thought I flipped out at the dolphin ride. Holy fuck, dude, I was white knuckled, my break, my face was flush. I thought I was going to shit myself.
Speaker 2:You didn't scream like a bitch again, though, did you?
Speaker 3:No, I held it in this time, but, man, thank you. Stan's like oh man, I should have had the record mode on, because they have a record mode on their rearview mirror that you can record your passenger's reaction to the launch mode.
Speaker 2:Okay, just to you know. Reiterate Klein was not driving. No, not at this time.
Speaker 3:you know, reiterate Klein was not driving, that was him driving. Stan was driving and so we did it once and he's like you wanna do it again. And so, not to be a puss, I said let's do it again. Dude, it was worse the second time because I knew what to expect.
Speaker 2:I know, and were you okay the second time?
Speaker 3:no, I was worse Because I knew what to expect. So I was all tense and everything.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 3:He was loving it. He knew I was flipping out.
Speaker 2:Did he tell you. And that's a key is just to loosen your body.
Speaker 3:Yeah, well, I mean, he knew what was coming. But yeah, if you're going to loosen your body in any sort of thing like that, you know football players, they loosen their body on contact Race car drivers. I don't know how they train themselves to do that, but to go limp when they go towards the wall, nuts.
Speaker 2:And when you're on roller coasters and everything like that, try to just let your body go. It's a much better ride.
Speaker 3:Yeah, well, the muscular tension creates the, creates the unpleasantness. I know that for sure.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and injury risk.
Speaker 3:Very, very true. But anyway, stan, let me drive it. Stan, let me drive it. What was that like? He pulls into a parking lot and he goes OK, so now that you've done launch mode, let's do some donuts. I'm like, no, that's OK, we don't, you don't, don't waste your tires on that. And he goes no, he goes, it's your time to drive. So he let me drive it. And how did you do? I'll be buying one this week.
Speaker 2:I knew it, dude, I knew it.
Speaker 3:Tim, it's oh my God. Dude, I was so. You know they always say don't meet your idols because you'll be disappointed. I mean, this has been my dream car since I was 14 years old and I was like, oh, oh god, what if I don't like it? I fucking loved it, tim. Yeah, I didn't do anything, but just drive at the speed limit.
Speaker 2:It's so comfortable, it's so quiet, it's just, it's so badass kev driving your dream car, particularly a souped up car like that. It kind of takes you back to the first time you got a blow job.
Speaker 3:It just it felt so good I'll take your word for it damn it trish, come on so anyway, yeah, um, I'm actually talking to three dealers right now. You want to hear some bullshit. Tim what? I talked to a dealer on fr Friday and I told them I'm paying cash and they're like we'd prefer you to.
Speaker 2:They want you to run it through their credit. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3:I said, that tells me everything I need to know about your dealership. Good luck selling the car.
Speaker 2:Yeah, don't do that. I'm not. I'm not Pay cash. Not, I'm not cash yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:So anyway, I I would expect that I'll have, uh, a car. It won't be delivered, but I will have paid for a car by the end of this week good man, what colors you know what specific one I mean?
Speaker 2:definitely get a picture of it.
Speaker 3:We'll post the picture, uh, on next week's episode yeah, well, it's going to be, uh, either an Elkhart blue or a rapid blue, a two LT looking at a 21, 22, 2021, 2022. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:That's like 70 bills, isn't it?
Speaker 3:Exactly Is it 70 to 75. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Good for you.
Speaker 3:Kev. Thanks, buddy Thanks.
Speaker 2:For those of you like well, fuck him. He's able to do that. This guy had to put up with me for twenty five fucking years. He deserves to get a Corvette.
Speaker 3:You know, my wife said she didn't say putting up with you, but she said you know this is your dream car. She goes and we have the ability she goes. You deserve it for working so hard. I'm like, but what dream are you giving up If I spend 75,000 on a car? She's like, can I turn the heat on at night? I'm like, yeah, she goes. I'm not giving up any dream. Then she just wants to be warm.
Speaker 2:That's awesome. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll never get my dream car.
Speaker 3:Why? What is it?
Speaker 2:Well, it's already. You know, I already gave it to Audrey and Jonas's mom.
Speaker 3:No, that's not true, because your trading is going very, very well. So I mean, if you want your dream car, you could get it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Kevin, 18 to 24 months, I'll be making more than I've ever been making.
Speaker 3:That's the man. That's the dream Dude, working probably less than not as hard as we did in radio. No, no, it's the dream Dude, working probably less than not as hard as we did in radio.
Speaker 2:No, no, it's the way to go. Dream car for me, Cav, I like the Maybach.
Speaker 3:Oh my God, the Mercedes Maybach. Yes, that's beautiful.
Speaker 2:I used to say Maybach, but I was corrected. Is it really it's Maybach? Somebody told me Maybach, okay, but yeah me Maybach, okay, but yeah, a silver one.
Speaker 3:Okay, Silver Interior color natural tan.
Speaker 2:Natural tan or something light colored. Yeah, that's my dream car.
Speaker 3:So what Tim's talking about is a luxury. It's like one of the top of the lines, if not top of the line Mercedes, and the back seats even lay back like dentist chairs.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, Kev, this is a beautiful car. Kev's got a picture of it up right here.
Speaker 3:Yeah they're gorgeous. As a matter of fact, they are bulletproof cars that I think. Over in Germany, the dignitaries drive around in Yep, exactly, kev.
Speaker 2:Let me tell you this. You'll know things are popping. When I got a lake house on Lake Travis in Austin, I got a nice motorboat, I got two wave runners and the Maybach is in the garage.
Speaker 3:Will Lake Travis still be in existence in about five years, because that level's going down rapidly.
Speaker 2:Good question. That's why I'm always looking for alternative locations.
Speaker 3:Okay, all right, but yeah, it's a beautiful area.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, I got to say this and I think you'll be interested in it, because you know it's a continuous study of women, but my observations about them are just so dead on right now. Please tell us the latest. Well, you know, being away from you know relationships and not giving a shit has given me an incredible superpower. What is that power? I just I. I don't give a fuck. The I don't give a fuck is so powerful Kev.
Speaker 3:I know.
Speaker 2:In all aspects of life.
Speaker 3:I was just talking to Stan about this the other day and I said you know what I told the dealership I'm not going to finance, I'm walking away, I don't need the car, I want the car. It's great to be in a position of power when you just want something and don't need it.
Speaker 2:Exactly when you just want something and don't need it. Exactly, exactly Because I'm there. I mean, you know, I'm on my third or fourth hang with a very, very beautiful woman Same one.
Speaker 3:No, no, no, but I mean three or four hangs with the same woman.
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:Awesome.
Speaker 2:Third or fourth with her. You know she started picking a fight out of nowhere. Oh, uh, you know she started picking a fight out of nowhere. Oh yeah, I, I, she, she text messaged me and and you know, she and I, just I just texted back and I said, look, I, I, uh, I know you woke up not feeling right about something and now you subtly want to start a fight with me and see if I'd take the bait. And I'm just not gonna. I said, I said do not text me again until you work through whatever you need to work through. And I don't know what's floating around your melon. I don't know if you woke up feeling bloated or you had a memory, a subconscious memory. You know, know, you know how your dad maybe didn't love you enough or something like that. But I'm not gonna put up with it. I'm not.
Speaker 2:I have nothing to do with it yeah and she like like uh, just texted me like three exclamation points, that was it right after that and I put my phone down like I like to do, just put my phone down, like I like to do, just put my phone down. Came back like two or three hours later. She just texted me and goes oh yeah, she goes. You are so right, I am so sorry. She said there was something else bothering me and you know I was like I know that's what you people do.
Speaker 3:You people. Oh, that had to go over, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, she goes. What do you mean, you people? I said beautiful women, gorgeous women not used to any kind of adversity at all. You had some adversity and, oh, I'm going to pay. Well, no, I'm not going to pay.
Speaker 3:So you're a much better person than I am because it's one and done with me.
Speaker 2:You know that dealer came back to me and said well, what kind of deal can we work out? I'm like nothing you're done. Oh yeah, so you're inviting her back into your life? Well, kev, she showed up at my door with just a coat on and nothing on underneath it okay and said how hot it was that I nipped that in the butt and put her in her place.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but you're going to have to do it again.
Speaker 2:Well, I say well, let Kev. Not only are you some kind of Kreskin here, but you're absolutely correct. I mean, two days later I get this text. Why did that take you so long to text me back? I don't know? Immediate block. I absolutely did not even text anything back, I just blocked her and I expect her to knock on the door someday and through the door, without even opening it through the peephole, I will just say, no, I don't need that shit. I've moved. Yeah, I no longer live here Because I have a garage. You can't tell my car. I mean, she would have to like stake me out and follow me somewhere when I drove out of the garage, which, at that point, I'm armed.
Speaker 3:Yes, of course.
Speaker 2:I never leave anywhere without my nine. Well, that was it so well, that was it. Yeah, that was it I, I. Why did it take you so long to text me? I calve that. That kind of needy shit I do not need in my life, yeah that's it that's insecurity screaming and, uh, I just I don't need. I'm at the age where, yeah, you're beautiful, just gorgeous, and you have a lot of skills, but so do a lot of other beautiful Texas ladies who aren't fucking batshit crazy.
Speaker 3:There you go. You dealt with batshit crazy for 25 plus years, you don't need it anymore.
Speaker 2:Don't need it anymore, Kev. You are batshit crazy, but you are batshit crazy with a heart. Plus years. You don't need it anymore. Don't need it anymore, Kev. You are a bad shit crazy, but you are a bad shit crazy with a heart. Tell me about the good deed you did last week.
Speaker 3:I don't know if everybody's going to see this as a good deed, but yeah well, it's the second time in my life that I've had to do this. I'm driving to get a haircut and and I'm driving to get a excuse me I'm driving to get a haircut, and as I'm driving this way, there's a car coming towards me and they're about a football field away from me and a dumb ass squirrel ran under their tire and got run over, but it's flipping around, it's still alive, and so I saw this, and so I ran over it to put it out of its misery you have to do that okay, that's what you're supposed to do.
Speaker 2:Kev. I did that in Greatwood years ago and I was with uh Audrey and Jonas's mom and she hated it. I'm like you have to put it. It's sitting there in pain, hopping. Yeah it's. You have to get you're sending it to its next life, which will be better than writhing in pain for six to eight hours praying that somebody puts you out of your misery.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, I mean, it wasn't hopping, it was like flipping it was doing you know, it was. It was in bad shape, no you have to do that, okay, good, I thought it was. I meant it in the most humanitarian way possible. But I told somebody at the barbershop and they're like, uh, what if it was just a broken leg they could have survived.
Speaker 2:I'm like a lot more than a broken leg to me okay, first off, yes, more likely than not, it was much more than a broken leg. There's probably a lot of interior organ damage and it's just a slow, painful death. Second off, it was just a broken leg.
Speaker 3:You got to remember this is an animal in the wild and it's much better to put this animal out of their misery than having it be an easy target for predators who will do a slow kill on it. Well, I read. I went to the Missouri Conservation Department and they actually have a little section on this and it says that if you feel the need to do it, that's okay, go ahead and do it. But they said what's probably going to happen is that the animal is going to lay there and die a slow death from birds pecking on it yes, exactly, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2:You don't, yeah, you don't, you don't want to be I. I would hope and pray that if I was, you know, the situations were reversed, that you were just laying around a lot writhing and hopping, that the squirrel would come over to you and put you out of your misery.
Speaker 3:That's what I was hoping too. You know that it would know and realize that.
Speaker 2:I don't know exactly how it could do a quick kill on you, but I'd hope it would figure it out If it was just you and the squirrel. Uh, you know for miles.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you'd want that to happen I think the squirrel could probably kill by stuffing his nuts in your mouth. More sophomoric humor, yeah kevin klein folks.
Speaker 2:He said he used to not work the room blue, but now he just doesn't give a shit. Kev, I saw the most amazing, amazing thing when I was doing early morning cardio. You know, sometimes I wake up early and I can't get back to sleep.
Speaker 2:I'm that guy, yep, and instead of you know, just tossing and turning or whatever, I'll get up and either lift or go do my cardio, and you know there's some times that I'm literally at 3.30, four in the morning lifting weights and I know some people probably think that's weird. But I did an early morning cardio. It was probably about 5 am last week and as I'm walking, a guy's being pulled over. Okay, it's like right in front of me. They're on the road. Of course I'm on the path, but it's right next to me and the police officer gets out of the car and just before he gets to the door of the person he pulled over, this guy opens the door and rolls out onto the ground. Now the cop had was he drew.
Speaker 2:He actually drew his firearm of course so I'm just like stopped, I'm dead in my tracks. I'm like whoa, oh, this is going to get crazy. The guy, the driver, says take me, take me now, I'm wasted. Oh, wow, is that, is that messed up? Yeah. And the police officer goes OK, can I give you a breathalyzer? And the guy goes what you don't believe me, I'm wasted a breathalyzer. And the guy goes what you don't believe me, I'm wasted. He goes I had 17 whiskey sours last night and into this morning and I got a whiskey sour in my cup holder right now. I mean that should be enough, right.
Speaker 3:That should be enough.
Speaker 2:At that point the police officer and I caught eyes and we both just started laughing. We both started laughing and then, you know, I I took off and continued my cardio and on my turnaround I came back and he was wrapping, wrapping it up. The guy was the guy was in the backseat, arrested for a DUI. And I just said the police officer was just finishing, you know, putting him in the backseat. And I looked up and I go, I said, just said the police officer was just finishing, you know, putting him in the backseat. And I looked up and I go, I said I said officer, I have to know what did he blow. And the police officer said a .32. And probably something else if I would have let him. Is that great, that's hilarious. And I said 0.32, isn't that almost dead? He goes. Yeah, that's my all-time record. Right there he said I've been doing this for 15 years and that's my all-time record.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so you're a math genius, genius.
Speaker 2:0.08 is the legal limit for intoxication four times four times yeah, but but let's, let's look at what that is and tell me if I'm wrong, and I'm sure kevin will correct it via the scroll here if I'm wrong. But it's the percentage of your bloodstream that is alcohol. Yes, one third of the shit going through his veins was alcohol.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it was poison. Yeah.
Speaker 2:So he had two thirds blood and one third alcohol going through his veins.
Speaker 3:That's correct.
Speaker 2:How do you survive?
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, I'll tell you what. And when you immediately said, he said you know I'm wasted, arrest me. That's a guy who knows he has a problem and this is like rock bottom. He's going to turn himself in and get help. So I mean, yeah, you're right, continue to do that, you're going to end up dead.
Speaker 2:It's so crazy.
Speaker 3:Not from driving, but from the alcohol poisoning.
Speaker 2:It was just so surreal. It happened in slow motion. I mean, just the guy opening the door and I was like, ooh, he's opening the door and then going to the ground While the cop is drawing. I'm like I'll never have that out of my vision. I'll remember that moment forever, because I was like, oh my God, there's going to be a fucking shootout and I actually started to try to get behind a tree.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I was going to ask you how far away were you if there would have been a gunfight.
Speaker 2:I was probably about 25 yards.
Speaker 3:Okay, that's still within the limit.
Speaker 2:But I eyeballed a tree and I was ready to go behind the tree and then if something would have happened and it would have been on me, then I would have. I would have, freaking ran zigzag pattern, probably jumped into a pond that has alligators.
Speaker 3:Right, yeah Well, thankfully you didn't have to.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but that's just I. I'll never forget that exact moment. He rolls to the ground, the cop draws and I'm like, wow, this is like a movie playing out right in front of me. It's three-dimensional. I'm like where's my popcorn?
Speaker 3:man. But you didn't do what the typical passerby does and pull your phone out and start videoing.
Speaker 2:No, I don't do that man. I was ready to help the police officer if it got stupid. Yeah, I was right. I I hate when people uh don't abide by. I mean, the whole all of society breaks down if people are I. When people are fucking wise asses to cops and not not my, you know, oh, I hate, I hate that yeah no, I know, yeah, and yeah, there are some bad cops that go too far, and if somebody goes too far on you, you can settle that later.
Speaker 3:But otherwise, yes, sir, no, sir, yes, ma'am, no, ma'am, and everybody gets to go home safe but I, I, whenever you see those videos of people watching you know fights and stuff like that, and they're filming it I'm like how about putting the camera down and going breaking it up?
Speaker 2:I agree, you know. I agree, although, that you can get paid a lot of money if you go viral yeah, exactly, but it's my viral moment this is my viral moment. We only get one, they say. Andy warhol says we get one viral moment. Kevin, I don't know if I've been briefing you on this saga throughout our career together, but Ball State found me.
Speaker 3:That is your alma mater. You graduated from there, as did David Letterman.
Speaker 2:Yes, David Letterman and me, and not necessarily in that order Exactly, but they found me. We've had a little back and forth throughout the years. They found me again after about eight or nine years and guess what? Kevin Kline. They still want money.
Speaker 3:I was going to say how much are they requesting this time?
Speaker 2:Again, Kev, our transaction is over. I gave you like $110,000. All right, and that's when I was poor. I gave you that money.
Speaker 3:And that was just tuition, not the parking tickets.
Speaker 2:Exactly. Plus, when I was poor, you gave me like an extra $3,000 in charges because of parking tickets. I'm not giving you anything. Our transaction is over. And if you really look at it, what did I get back?
Speaker 3:Yeah right.
Speaker 2:I got a major I really didn't use, I got a binge drinking problem and I got crabs.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's not real good.
Speaker 2:It was not $110,000. Yeah, trust me Back. When I graduated you got the best end of that deal. I should be asking for you to give me some of that shit back, plus interest.
Speaker 3:There you go.
Speaker 2:Now, Kev, I know this flies contrary in your world. You like to give to the places you went to school.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but I mean I get it, I totally get it.
Speaker 2:I do not, and I remember that too, man Kev, when I was on campus and I got probably my 20th parking ticket, because you know, they did it on purpose. They did it on purpose. They had far less parking than they knew they needed, just so they could write the tickets, because it was a huge source of revenue for them.
Speaker 3:Oh sure, oh, I believe that wholeheartedly.
Speaker 2:And I just remember thinking to myself I'm going to make it someday and I knew this. I remember this moment that I did it. I was walking across the street after I saw the ticket on my car. And I just remember this exact moment in 1991, kevin, when I'm walking across the street and I see the ticket on the car and I just said you know someday and I don't know exactly when, but I'm going to make it. I'm going to be a high earner, I'm going to make some really really good money and you're going to send me these earner. I'm going to make some really really good money and you're going to send me these little envelopes looking for cash, like I know you do and I've heard you done and the answer is going to be NFW.
Speaker 3:Stands for.
Speaker 2:No fucking way Ever.
Speaker 3:There you go.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Ever will I give you a pen Because Kev you had to pay that ticket, Otherwise you don't graduate.
Speaker 3:That's what I was going to ask. What is, what's the what's the ultimate penalty?
Speaker 2:They will not give you your degree. You know they, they won't, they won't let you do anything. They'll, they'll take away you know lunch, uh, you know the dinner cards, the dinner. You know the, the. You. You get nothing. You have to pay that in order to register for the next semester. All that stuff, wow. So I just remember it was my last semester there and I knew I was like a month and a half away from graduating and I knew if I didn't pay it, it was another like 70 bucks. Well, 1991, 70 bucks is a lot of fucking money for a poor college student.
Speaker 3:For a college kid. Hell yeah, it still is today.
Speaker 2:And I just remember. I remember just saying no, you will never get another. I'm paying this, I have to, but you will never get another penny from me Ever. Lo and behold, every time I've gotten one of those envelopes or one of those emails, I laugh and go fuck you.
Speaker 3:And 22 year old me is going yeah that's right, you know, yep, way to go older me.
Speaker 2:Exactly, Exactly. Speaking of college, Kev, I have to ask you this You're kind of like an independent observer. You're kind of like somebody like not on the inside, that kind of viewed things from you know 30,000 feet instead of being right on top of it.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 2:Jonas, yeah, yeah, who knew?
Speaker 3:man dude's a wizard he has my.
Speaker 2:He'll be a uh um senior next year. He's a junior right now in college computer science. He's uh been to china doing ai research between his freshman and sophomore year, getting paid money to do that ai medical medical research. He flew to San Francisco this past summer and gave a presentation on AI to a lot of big brass, big minds.
Speaker 3:Silicon Valley.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he was just hired a couple of days ago for his summer internship, coming up this summer in between his junior and senior year, uh as a software engineer for Dell technologies.
Speaker 3:He's out of Austin, if I'm not mistaken right.
Speaker 2:Yes, michael Dell. Michael Dell, of course, went to Memorial high school in Houston, did he really? Yeah, he's top 10, uh, richest, 120 billion liquid. Yeah, you know hardware sales. He's well known for the PC and the laptop and all that stuff, but hardware sales a little stagnant. But Michael Dale, give him credit, he's out in front of the whole AI thing.
Speaker 3:There you go.
Speaker 2:So hence why they've hired Jonas, who, from what I understand, is one of the standout minds of the next generation for artificial intelligence. How?
Speaker 3:incredible is that.
Speaker 2:And I just want to know, because I always knew he was smart, uh-huh, and I always knew he was very intelligent, always had a very high vocabulary, always a well thought. I didn't know it was this level, though, did you. Did you get any? I didn't know it was this level, though, did you. Did you get any kind of signal that it was, that? I mean, he was a big video gamer yeah, like one of the best in the world at certain games, you know, ranked Right, best, some of the best in the world at some of the games he plays. But I didn't know that would transfer over into where he's at right now in terms of coding, in terms of artificial intelligence. This, this came out of the. I didn't see this come.
Speaker 3:Well it's, it's very amazing and no, I don't think anybody could ever really see that amount of success coming to anybody. But man, just the kid is unreal. I mean you texted me that and I'm like holy smokes, man, he's on fire, yeah.
Speaker 2:So I have pulled out of the 401k. I'm going to spend it on some good weed and a good vacation.
Speaker 3:The 401.
Speaker 2:AI. He is my 401.
Speaker 3:AI. Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 2:That's so funny.
Speaker 3:So when does he start?
Speaker 2:It'll be summer, okay, and he's making really good money as a paid intern. I'm like wow and plus, you know Dell and what they do, particularly in this industry is it's basically an audition. Unless you're just a complete screw up, he will be offered by Dell when he graduates.
Speaker 3:Yeah, exactly. I mean, this is just this is this is a vetting process, basically yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so I, yeah, I'm just like wow, man, this kid Unreal, that's great man. There, there's no limit to what he could be man. You know, totally, totally, totally, he could win a Nobel Prize, well, even more important, he could be a billionaire.
Speaker 3:No, the creator of AI just won a Nobel Prize.
Speaker 2:Ever since Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize and then, three months later, started a war that whole thing has been watered down a little bit.
Speaker 3:Yeah, the sobering thing about the what this guy said is uh yeah, I know we created a AI, but there's no defense to making it less dangerous. Great Way to go, buddy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, see, that's. That's one thing that I'm glad that Jonas is in that field. I mean, they'd they need somebody with a good soul and a and good karma and, you know, like a good aura, and somebody like that has that was raised right to just be that voice in the room and going hey guys, yes, we can do this, but I don't think we should.
Speaker 3:Okay, so let's go back to what you did. Uh, very, very briefly, out of college and before you got into radio, you were a mechanical engineer. Right, you did mechanical engineer sales.
Speaker 2:I was a sales engineer for factories and stuff like that. I did design systems for conveyor belts and to make the assembly process and manufacturing process easier and better.
Speaker 3:Isn't the first thing that you do when you develop a system is you look at the potential flaws in it and you correct them before? How did they not do that with AI? What are the potential flaws? Oh, okay, danger, yeah. Let's eliminate that.
Speaker 2:No, I have again.
Speaker 2:On the top of the food chain are people who watch those sci-fi movies and made it a to-do list, flat out yeah there's just and again not to reiterate it, but it's very important because it is a very important theme that affects all of us every day is once you get that much money or that much power, the mind is wired just to become criminal. For 99.9% of the time. That's sad For every Elon Musk who's cool and gets it. There are 10 Bill Gates. There are 10 Bill Gates Just evil, evil motherfuckers with eugenics and very nefarious agendas.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 2:Period. It's just something about the brain.
Speaker 3:That is weird.
Speaker 2:Kev whenever I think I'm out they pull me back in.
Speaker 3:Who is they and what are we talking about?
Speaker 2:Okay, you remember last week. You know I'm not on social media anymore.
Speaker 3:Yeah, isn't it great.
Speaker 2:It's the best. I love it.
Speaker 3:Oh, how long is the ban in effect? By the way, they said permanently.
Speaker 2:No, they said permanently Wow, they can really do that. Oh, the kev, they're the, they're tech gods.
Speaker 3:I mean, they're above us all I know they're the judge and jury of what you can say, uh, and if you don't follow their guidelines, you do not exist anymore but you have a court case, though, that you could take to them, because, even though they're a private entity, that's infringing on your First Amendment right freedom of speech.
Speaker 2:Yes, kevin, they'll play the hey, we're a private company. And then my lawyers would play. Well, you abscond from responsibility because you say you're a public square, and once you say you're a public square, and once you say you're a public square, you have to allow freedom of speech. See, it would just be a back and forth, and I don't need it. If I cared, I would destroy them, I would, I would, I would go wreck them through other social media, but I don't even want it.
Speaker 3:I like how you use the very lawyer-like term abscond. That's really good.
Speaker 2:That's legalese right there, man yeah. Yeah, yeah. Anyway, kevin, because I'm not on social media anymore, I still have people who listen to the podcast, that have my number and will text me and you remember, last week I discussed somebody and I'm probably going to burn the bridge and lose a friend here forever, but I think this justifies it. I'm going to call him Pope's capo.
Speaker 3:Okay, Pope's capo.
Speaker 2:You remember, last week he busted me on hey, you're an, you were an altar boy and a catholic school boy. You are extremely tolerant for that. So, so to speak, you know, I'm I. I and kevin klein, who was also, you know, grew up catholic. We're not homophobics. We think that's ridiculous and stupid. It is, um, he is really, really pissed at me because I used his text message last week, you know, to insinuate things about Jesus. Oh, okay, and I was like dude, I was joking, I was like it's all a joke, are you kidding me? I mean, jesus had the greatest fucking sense of humor ever. You know, I honestly think jesus comes back for his second coming. He's gonna be a stand-up comedy comedian, I think so. Yeah, and plus his dad, you know he invented that platypus man.
Speaker 3:Look at that thing there you go, you have the duckbill platypus kev, look at it.
Speaker 2:Kev's got a picture of it right here. Okay, how can the dude who gave us this not have a sense of humor? So he's laughing at my jokes. He loves my jokes there you go.
Speaker 2:Yeah, all right. And then I messaged him back also and I go hey, wait a minute. I remember early on when Kevin and I were doing some of our early episodes of the podcast Kev, he was laughing his ass off at the serial killer rape joke and murder jokes that were happening. He loved those. Oh wow, I was talking about that one time when I was doing my cardio and I had my shirt off and I walked past two ladies and said, excuse me, and I'm not a murderer, I'm not a killer, I'm just trying to get by you right here. And they kind of looked me up and down and said, well, if you are a serial killer, can you rape us first?
Speaker 2:I thought that was a funny joke that they said. And I said well, no, as a serial killer I can't give you what you want, I'll just have to kill you and then afterwards fuck you.
Speaker 3:There you go.
Speaker 2:This guy laughed his ass off at that joke. Yeah, but I do one joke about Jesus that I'm almost positive Jesus himself would laugh at. He'd be like Tim. That was a really good joke. That was good stuff. I'm proud of you.
Speaker 3:Well, didn't Jesus put that in your mind anyway?
Speaker 2:Exactly, he's the one that gives me all my ideas. That's right, he's the creator. I know, kev. I just lost a friend.
Speaker 3:Well, that happens, it's not the first time with you.
Speaker 2:Kev, I'm not going to lose the friend because we have sick dark senses of humor and he can't stay away from that stuff.
Speaker 2:There you go, that's right, yeah, yeah, he's got to be like well, what's the next whacked out thing that they'll say? That'll make me laugh. Exactly so funny, man, how people are, you know, it's kind of like the motion picture industry. It's so funny, man, how people are, you know, it's kind of like the motion picture industry. You know, you can have horrific violence, just graphic horrific violence, but if the sex is too much, oh, we got to give that a harsh rating. Yeah, exactly which?
Speaker 2:I honestly think that the reason why they never, of course can never explain why I was banned from social media, but I think that is the reason why is they'll allow any kind of heinous violence. Talk, you know, kev, I've seen all those Antifa posts and all that shit advocating violence and kill this, and you know, even assassinate Trump posts those were OK, ok, yeah, violence and kill this. And you know, even assassinate trump posts those were okay, okay, yeah. But I go in there, you know, and have a have kind of a little bit of a bawdy joke about bachelorette parties and suddenly I'm banned forever. Horrible, fuck you, right, yeah. If I would have done the joke about a bachelorette party where I was bludgeoning them with clubs, you probably would have loved that and kept me on social media, wouldn't you? They would have pinned that one. They would have pinned that one. The fucking hypocritical asshole tech fucking Nazis. I'm sorry, I'm done with it. Okay, he doesn't care. I'm actually happy that I'm not on it right now. I just wanted to go out on my terms.
Speaker 3:Yes, we all do.
Speaker 2:Not somebody else's. Turn Kev, do me a favor, since I am not on social media anymore and I'm literally almost completely off the grid right now. Please, kevin, tell me the things that have happened in the world over the past week that I may need or want to know.
Speaker 3:Okay, well, you know about Hurricane Milton. There is another potential tropical storm brewing in the Atlantic and, if it does form, could pose a very serious threat to Central Florida again.
Speaker 2:Oh well, they're whipping up those weather machines right, Right around election time, aren't they?
Speaker 3:Right around, right around. Talked about the national debt. Here's an interesting thing, Timmy. You know we're very, very close to the election day. Nbc polls show Trump ahead. Cbs poll same day shows Harris ahead.
Speaker 2:What the hell Propaganda? What the hell Propaganda? What the hell? Yeah, from what I've heard, and these are actually these are people who this is their job, they have been, this is what they do. They don't give a shit who it is. They actually take pride in their work and they're not oversampling and they're not polling to set up a narrative. They legitimately I mean you know the ones who, like, called the Trump win in 2016, when everybody else was saying it was 99.9% Hillary Clinton, you know, going in. Remember that. Yeah, these are the ones who actually know. They're like, even in the battleground states, trump by 10, it's going to be a landslide.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's going to be a landslide. Yeah, it's going to be a landslide.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 2:Those are the people I trust.
Speaker 3:They're the actual math people that you know they get paid to come up with the real numbers instead of get paid to hey sway it to one candidate so we can make it believable that they won after we steal it. So my question about this is if they say it's a close race, if they say Harris is ahead, if they say Trump's ahead, does that spur people to come out and vote or does it make people think, nah, you know what my person's not going to win.
Speaker 2:That may have been the case, you know, back in the 80s and the 90s, where people would be like, okay, my guy's not going to win, or oh, it looks like a landslide, they won't need my vote. I don't you know what, I'm just going to stay at work, I'm not going to take a work off or whatever, and they wouldn't go and vote. But now you know, independent middle, everybody knows that that information is bullshit. They're full of shit. You're being lied to constantly. I just laugh when I see polls. Now I do.
Speaker 2:I laugh Because I know it's propaganda, depending on who you look at, depending on what day of the week it is. Yeah, it just sounds to me like CBS really oversampled in Democratic strongholds and NBC, and they'll probably be admonished by the, the global elite powers that be billionaire shadow government fuckers, for not oversampling enough in the Democrat strongholds.
Speaker 3:You were talking earlier about being banned from social media and you said you know you can put up all the Trump assassination stuff. There was another gunman found at his latest rally in Coachella Valley. They said the gunman didn't pose a threat, but they found a guy with a gun near President Trump again.
Speaker 2:How does that not pose a threat? Because they got a downplay? The last thing they want is any more sympathy for him. Oh yeah, we don't want him to win the election, we don't want him to be at the inauguration. But you know, if we fail at our attempts, we don't want people feeling sorry and sympathy for him. Ok, all right, I think I was just. That's just the vibe. That's why they downplayed Kev when we were growing up in the 80s. Any kind of an attempt like this would have just been round-the-clock, big-time news. You just see how quick it's like. Oh, another assassination attempt.
Speaker 3:Oh, I had to dig three pages deep for this Exactly.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and that tells you right there how corrupt and evil mainstream media is, who are just doing the biddings of the global elite.
Speaker 3:Dude, would you want that job to be secret service for Donald Trump? I mean, you know you're going to be busy, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, got to be on your toes, yeah. Hey, I know it's really hot outside and usually I would leave the Kevlar at home, but I'm going to wear the Kevlar.
Speaker 3:You know, yeah, all right, what else? Anything else? Yeah, saturday evening at the Brantley Gilbert concert he had to pause in between songs to be pulled off stage. His wife was given birth on the tour bus.
Speaker 2:Awesome, yeah, baby, okay, everything's fine everything's fine.
Speaker 3:He, uh, he tweeted it. We actually took a video, sent it to his mom, said you're, uh, you got a new grandbaby.
Speaker 2:And then went back on stage and finished the concert I remember hank, remember when we hung out with him, he came to the station he's super cool I love brantley gilbert. He was just a nice guy, genuine guy. Look you in the eye, good old, good old country boy right there that's right.
Speaker 3:They're real real good guy, real nice, so all right, and then, yeah, that's about it. Uh, university of texas number one in the polls. Uh, for the ncaa football. And uh, the cowboys still suck hate to see that kev oh don't you though when will jerry jones get his glory hole? Dude, how about the the texans?
Speaker 2:five and one looking good, strong team yep, looking real good yeah how about the uh nfc north?
Speaker 3:oh, dude, that's a tight race right there I mean seriously, like, like everybody.
Speaker 2:Four and two is the worst record yeah, yeah I mean that that could be the first time in history that all four teams make the playoffs.
Speaker 3:I figured three would make it. I did not see Minnesota going undefeated at this juncture in the season, but I didn't also see the Bears being four and two.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they're all good man. That's good and my Packers are there and it's like wow. I was like, hey, we got to win. And then I look over, look at the standings. They got them in the bottom and they're still 4-2.
Speaker 3:Yeah, well, they have a problem of riches right there. Jordan Love is back for quarterback, but Malik Willis did awesome. So I mean you know who do you play, who do you sit?
Speaker 2:Exactly, yeah, I mean when you look at it, I mean how many NFL quarterbacks are undefeated this season? Well, you got Mahomes, you got Sam Darnold and you got Malik Willis.
Speaker 3:There you go, that's right.
Speaker 2:They are undefeated yeah they are. Kev, let's do a top three. It's yours this week.
Speaker 1:Just when you thought they couldn't count any higher, it's Tuttle and Klein's top three.
Speaker 3:Well, we were talking about me getting to ride in my dream car. I want to talk about and we're getting close to Halloween top three scariest moments of your life. Top three scariest moments of your life top three scariest moments of your life.
Speaker 2:Um, when jonas uh, jumped into the water fully clothed, or fell in the water fully clothed. Um, even though he learned how to swim, uh, that summer, it was like when the next year came around, he had forgotten how to swim. And I saw it and I had to jump in and save him uh-huh, that'll wake you out, for sure that.
Speaker 2:That made my heart beat. That made my heart beat um, scared me. I was, um. I was driving uh on on iced highways in indiana and I got sideways on some black ice and I recovered and a semi almost hit me head on as I was turning around when I was 23 years old, and that would have been. It just barely missed me. He made a move to his left, while I made a move going head on to him, to my left. We synced up for a split second and knew which way to avoid. Otherwise I'm head on. He's going about 75 miles an hour and I was, and I was on the recovery, I was still doing about 50 miles an hour.
Speaker 3:Wow, I didn't know that. That's that's. Yeah, that would scare the hell out of you.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that was it and I ended up Kev. It was a sweet recovery move too, because after I pulled left I was losing it to. You know, right side, back side, was coming out from under me. I did a quick right side and I recovered right there.
Speaker 3:Why do you think I'm a professional driver?
Speaker 2:Kev, that's the thing is. I was really scared because I almost got killed, but instantly I went to from being scared to holy shit. Did anybody see that? Tell me, you saw that. And I was like the people that were passing by afterwards, you know, because I slowed down a little bit, I wanted to my breath. I was hoping that some of them would be like thumbs up and none of them were. Damn. I was like how do you not appreciate that sweet move that I just did?
Speaker 3:Should have put a tip jar out of your passenger window.
Speaker 2:Yeah, number three scariest moment for me, it was when I said something. Erica was eight and a half months pregnant. Yeah, I said something to her that I shouldn't have said, I guess, and she had a look in her eyes Like I would not be waking up the next morning.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, I'd seen that look from her before.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I just I remember that a couple of times before we went to bed. Went to bed I looked at her we good, we good, oh, we're good, I will. Hey, I listen, I heard Dallas up there whimpering. I'm going to go make sure he's okay.
Speaker 3:For a long time.
Speaker 2:Oh, I fell asleep next to Dallas there.
Speaker 3:What about you? Well, we talked about buying this car this week and riding in my dream car. It's scary, you know, because I was riding in it and the G-forces. And then also, you know what if I don't like it? It's my dream car. What if I don't like it? And then you know, plunking down 75K and that'll scare you a little bit. That's nothing for you. Well, it kind of coincides with one of my other ones, when you sign your first mortgage.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I remember that Dude man, Do you remember? Just yeah, I remember that Dude man, Do you remember? Just because it takes like a half hour to sign all the pages.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but then you also look at the figures on there and you're like holy crap man.
Speaker 2:But Kev I mean who reads all of it.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, no, nobody. I totally trust the title person.
Speaker 2:I usually Kev. I usually myself I'll read everything. That's the only document I've bought one, two, three, four houses and those are the only times I didn't read through it, because it's just too much.
Speaker 3:Well, if you read through it, you'd still be reading it Exactly. You bought your first house like 2000.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, so yeah, um yeah, I Kev I. Yeah, you never know what's in that and it's scary, oh yeah, and you're just looking at your rep and going, hey, man, are we cool here? Is this cool I would do is I would make them give me a summary of every, every page that I was signing. I was like, well, what was this?
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, and they do that now. Uh, so you know.
Speaker 2:I want to know at least uh, I want to at least a paraphrase of what it was.
Speaker 3:Yeah, Give me the cliff notes please. And then my other one, uh, my, my, my third, uh, scariest we were flying into houston in severe turbulence. Oh man, I hated that. I'm so sorry, buddy dude I, I know planes don't go down from turbulence, but it's like being on a roller coaster and I just don't like it. See, I like it, I know.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I honestly, god, I think we dropped like two to three thousand feet no, I to me, I like it because you know I there, there's, there's, no, there's like no plane crashes caused by turbulence. Now, if it's heavier stuff and it rolls into the wind, shear slash struck by lightning, slash beasts flying into the engine, yeah, you can be a little worried. Yeah, but you know, just general turbulence is that no plane goes down from now, it's just generally unsettling I just see it as a free, you know adrenaline rush you do.
Speaker 2:I know that feeling in the stomach. I'm like I I actually want to tip the pilot as I'm walking out going. Man, that's sweet bro.
Speaker 3:So you that feeling too, but you're comfortable with it.
Speaker 2:I love it. Okay, the stomach and the stomach dropping. Yeah, that's a great feeling. No, it's not. Yeah, growing up I would pay Kings Island and six flags and Cedar point large amounts of money so I could get that feeling three or four times in a day. You're a sicko? Yeah, I love that. Are you kidding that? Are you kidding me? Oh, funny, and that's, and that's all I do now. I do remember one time when, um I was flying with audrey and maddie skinner, the, the top player ncaa volleyball player. Right now plays for texas, has three national championships, she has three rings and coming back for another year. But it was Audrey and her. You know we were all flying together and there was massive turbulence and it was the ones where some of the drawers were opened.
Speaker 3:That's bad.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and they were freaking out, they were screaming and everybody else was screaming on it and I was like whoa, that was bad. Yeah, and they were freaking out, they were screaming and everybody else was screaming on it and I was like well, that was cool, and they just thought I was crazy.
Speaker 3:Yeah, no, the the, the one that I'm talking about we actually had two pilots sitting across from each other, and regular, you know, they were flying to work and they looked at each other and they're like, well, that interesting, like no big deal and that's it to them, and that should, that should give you, oh, the comfort oh yeah, no, it did.
Speaker 2:It just didn't uh settle my stomach at all I know, I know, I, but I just I, I've always, you know, because I I remember once, when I was a, when I was a little kid, the first, I think it was the first time I was ever on a plane. My parents took us somewhere I can't remember and we hit turbulence and I remember Tina freaking out.
Speaker 3:Older sister.
Speaker 2:And here's my dad just went into this whole speech. Tina, I just want to let you know that these never go down. Everything is fine. I've done the research, I've done the studies on it. Planes this large do not go down from turbulence. That was just. See that as just a fun little ride and everything will be okay. And my and I just my dad's calm voice set me up for the rest of my life.
Speaker 3:Here's a lifesaver.
Speaker 2:Here's a lifesaver Exactly, that's Fred Tuttle. Here's a lifesaver. That was my dad's move. He always had a roll of lifesavers, usually butter rum.
Speaker 3:Oh, great flavor.
Speaker 2:Yeah, butter, rum, lifesavers. My mom would beat my ass with a belt. Dad would just be coming home from work hearing the back end of it. You feel the pain. My dad would always come up and, son, that sounded rough here, have a butter on Lifesaver. I'm like that's great, dad. Is there anything I can rub on my ass? This fucking hurts. Unless, unless the, unless the butter rum juice turns into a salve, it's really not going to do me any good right now. And then you, then you get it in your mouth and you're like actually it is helping out a lot. That's right. Do they even have Lifesavers anymore? I don't see them anywhere.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I don't know if it's the actual Lifesaver, but I saw Lifesaver-flavored gummies the other day.
Speaker 2:Holy shit, I was just thinking about that, Kev. There may be a whole generation that never, ever experiences Lifesavers.
Speaker 3:Yeah, they were a little like hockey pucks with the center cut out.
Speaker 2:They were perfect. My dad always knew. He always knew Sue's a savage wound. Here you go, son. That looked like a rough beating. You know, I don't want to know what you did. She'll tell me. I'll hear about it all night. Yeah, you will all right yeah, she'll hear, yeah, he'll get the whole you know thesis, uh, all night that night. Uh, cav, this has been a fun episode.
