Tuttle & Kline
Ep #36: Fun Sized Episode (Because Kline's A Wuss)
Ever wondered what it's like to own a Corvette that exudes both power and elegance? Kline's new car has us comparing notes on our drastically different driving styles. As we shift gears, Tuttle recounts his recent NFL betting escapades. Despite the betting restrictions in Texas, his skills shone in a free contest where he clinched a $250 Amazon gift card with spot-on predictions for the Chiefs versus 49ers game.
Take a nostalgic trip with us as we reminisce about baseball's golden era, filled with legendary players and iconic Yankees-Dodgers showdowns from the late 70s. It's a light-hearted reflection on how baseball fandom has evolved across generations. We also share a laugh about the vanishing art of cursive writing in schools and its cultural impact on today’s youth. Picture a room filled with relics of the past, sparking curiosity and bridging the gap between generations. It’s a fun-filled exploration of how times have changed and the quirky ways we attempt to connect the past with the present.
And then, there's our unexpected role as neighborhood confidants, brought on by our podcast fame. You'll chuckle at Tuttle's advice to William for curious toddlers interrupting intimate moments, while contemplating more serious topics like the concept of alternate universes and the moral implications that ripple into the beyond. From discussing sports scandals, using Deshaun Watson’s case as a backdrop, to expressing our hopes for Kline's recovery from a sore throat, this episode blends humor and depth, offering a candid look at life's unpredictable journey.

Speaker 2:What are you, day four, with that corvette? You haven't run into a tree yet not yet.
Speaker 3:I haven't wrapped it around anything yet just be. Hey, be careful uh, during rain yeah, well, it's got a weather, uh, it's got a weather, uh format on it, you know.
Speaker 2:So it's got the sport mode, touring mode, track mode and weather mode yeah, just I, you know there's a lot of torque there, man, and you know you, you get sideways uh in, in, uh wet weather and it's unrecoverable because of the torque.
Speaker 3:How long have you known me? When have I ever used torque for a car?
Speaker 2:Yeah, let me. Let me tell you this Cav, you getting a sweet Corvette. Here's a picture of it, right here. You getting a sweet Corvette is the biggest waste of the machine ever. Oh, I even said that.
Speaker 3:I said this is the biggest waste of an engine that's ever been assembled.
Speaker 2:And this poor car. You know, after about six, eight months it'll pull into a parking lot and it may see another Corvette. And when you go in, you know they talk to each other. When you go in and shop, of course They'll see another Corvette and go God, this guy's such a bitch man. I mean he's going five miles an hour under the speed. He did 80 the other day, got scared and had to back off in four seconds.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's got a lot of good pickup. I haven't tested it, obviously, you know. I set the cruise control to 75 in a 70 zone, 70 in a 65. I know right Living on the edge buddy 75 in a 70 zone, 70 in a 65. I know right Living on the edge buddy.
Speaker 2:You bring that thing to Houston and let me shake that thing down for you.
Speaker 3:Like you did, the Sebring right yeah.
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah, you love that, didn't you?
Speaker 3:You love that the tires out of your driveway.
Speaker 2:You love that didn't you?
Speaker 3:I was like holy crap man, he's going to kill my car, he's going to kill my car.
Speaker 2:He's like what a dick man. Well, I got to give it. You got to test it, man, you got to see where it's at.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, no, I get it, I get it. This car is, it's at a lot.
Speaker 2:And trust me, it wants to be tested.
Speaker 3:Yeah, well, it's built for that I know?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I drove one, the uh Sebastian's. Let me have one at classic Chevy Sugarland about uh 2021. You know what?
Speaker 3:I'm surprised at is that, with the engine right behind your head, it is so quiet. Yeah, you know I I drove a 2018. We were thinking about getting one, uh then, and it was just too loud. So I really the uh, the cabin of this being so quiet I love that car.
Speaker 2:It's a great car, thanks, and she wants to run, gav, don't.
Speaker 2:Don't forget, she wants to run you bring that seriously, you do you do a road trip uh here to uh houston and just look, look the other way for about five minutes, like the sebastian's did. Yes, of course they handed me the keys. Then it was like it was like the movie ferris bueller when they gave the ballet the ferrari. Yep, I'm getting air about two miles away from classic chevy show. I'm getting air on some of the hills. Man, I don't doubt that. Uh, hey, kev, this is. This was really, really cool.
Speaker 2:I told you that I still handicap NFL football games, even though I can't bet, because I'm in Texas, right, and I spend a lot of time on them. I got a worksheet and everything like that. What I did the other day on Sunday is just goofing around, filled out the coverscom, beat the experts. You know they give you six bets with one game. You know the over, the under, the who's going to win, how many yards each quarterback's going to have, you know rushing yards one of the running backs will have and this, that and the other, and then you know as a tiebreaker, total rushing yards, both teams. I never expected to win, but I got my email yesterday morning and it said Zoso 1977. That's me, zoso 1977.
Speaker 3:It's a reference to Led Zeppelin.
Speaker 2:Yeah, led Zeppelin and youelin and their cool tour year 1977. So if you see poker sites, if you see Zoso 1977 at your table or Zoso that's me. But I got the email and said congratulations, zoso 1977. You won a $250 Amazon gift card.
Speaker 3:Can you accept it?
Speaker 2:Yeah, oh, okay. Well, that's cool Because I didn't pay any money to do it. It's a free contest that they do.
Speaker 3:Oh nice.
Speaker 2:They have free contests like almost every day on covers, and I just started doing them about a week ago and I win. One of the big ones beat the experts. It was the Chiefs 49ers game.
Speaker 3:Uh-huh. And what were your predictions?
Speaker 2:I correctly predicted that KC plus two. That means that San Francisco was giving two and a half points.
Speaker 3:Which is ridiculous, with all of their injuries.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I said that's an easy one, man. I mean Kansas City doesn't know how to lose.
Speaker 3:Especially against that team.
Speaker 2:And then over. Under was 47-5, and I was like the offenses are not going well. I said under and I got that one by a point and a half. It was 46 total points. So hit that one. And then Patrick Mahomes, total passing yards I said under 236, and it was under 236. Again, he's not in his crisp January form right now, yeah. And Kareem Hunt over 48 and a half yards. I said well, yeah, that's all they're doing now is running. So I took the over on that and he had like 78 yards. I was like cool, this is working, I'm four for four. What else we got here? Brock Purdy total passing yards I said under 248.5. I was like, hey, man, if he doesn't have McCaffrey to set him up, he's easy. Uh, uh, you know, in terms of coverage, he he may do well through a couple touchdown passes, but he's not going to get 248 yards.
Speaker 3:And he did not.
Speaker 2:No, he threw three interceptions exactly and uh, brendan, iuk uh under 61.5 in terms of yards. I was like, well, obviously he's not going to get 61.5 and he's got like 25 or 30 yards or something like that blew out his acl and mcl, so he's done for the year yeah, yeah, got it, got the bag, though he got the bag. Yeah, yeah, uh, kev. So you know, there's 827 people that did this uh contest and 33 of us got all six of those right okay so they have a tiebreaker.
Speaker 2:The tiebreaker is both teams total rushing yards and you said they had 285 yards rushing. Both of them together I said 287. Holy cow, you're two yards off. That's amazing isn't that crazy. Yeah, and and I was looking at it, I was like you, cause I do all this work on handicapping, you know, pump punching stuff into my XL and everything like that. This one I just, you know, eyeballs it. I was like that makes sense, that makes and boom 250 bucks for like 14 seconds of work.
Speaker 3:See what that, uh, what that tells me is that, um, you don't have to over analyze stuff. You know, if you're going to the horse track or something you know, just see something that sticks out to you right away, boom, go make the bet.
Speaker 2:I've always said this, kevin, you know, sometimes I don't adhere to it. I get paralysis of analysis myself. Go with your gut, yeah, your gut, I mean. You have intuition, we have. Humans have intuition, particularly about things that they know about. You know, they have this intuition. You know, like if I were to say to you, kev, you know, we've got the Vegas Golden Knights are playing at Los Angeles, playing the Kings, and they're on a road trip. It's their last game of the road trip, probably a little tired, and you know Kings are crisping at home. I'd say who's going to win that?
Speaker 3:one. You would say you would put your money behind the Kings, obviously.
Speaker 2:By the way, I've done really well with hockey totals. I call it Tuttle's Totals.
Speaker 3:Oh my gosh, you even got a name for it. Yeah, awesome.
Speaker 2:Where I just really I don't care who wins the game. I'm going to tell you and hit it probably about 65%, 70% of the time how many goals will be scored over and under.
Speaker 3:You need to trademark that man Tuttle's Totals.
Speaker 2:If I can ever get into a state that allows sports gambling that would be fantastic.
Speaker 3:Is that even on the ballot in Texas? I don't know, man, it is in Missouri.
Speaker 2:I'll have you do the bets then. Okay, yeah, yeah, you'll be my bookie from Missouri.
Speaker 3:Yeah, they say that the money's going to go to education, but then there's ads that say it ain't going to education. But my question is even if it doesn't go to education, what's it bothering?
Speaker 2:It doesn't. I mean, it's the nanny state. It's like, hey, we're going to tell you how to live your life because we're control freak authoritarians and we just get off on it. Hold on a second Control, control, sorry.
Speaker 3:That's okay.
Speaker 2:I was imitating our power, hungry, freaky, fucking asshole politicians. Anyway, kev, let's keep it positive here. Speaking of the NFL, I gotta do this really quick. I have to issue an official apology To a former colleague of ours, former colleague Apology.
Speaker 3:I don't know where you're going with this. I have to issue an official apology to a former colleague of ours. Former colleague apology. I don't know where you're going with this Izzy. Oh yeah, Do you remember Izzy the Gato? Yeah, he's part of the SWAT, the Watt SWAT or something.
Speaker 2:Yes, he was part of the SWAT team.
Speaker 3:Swat team SWAT team.
Speaker 2:Yeah, a bunch of guys who used to dress up and wear, you know, JJ Watt jerseys and go to the games and stuff like that, and you know I used to make fun of him, Do you remember?
Speaker 3:Oh, I totally remember.
Speaker 2:Because I was like dude, you're wearing a jersey of a guy younger than you.
Speaker 3:You're not supposed to do that.
Speaker 2:Right Well, I mean, yeah, guy younger than you, you're not supposed to do that, right well, I mean, yeah, I mean, but you remember me doing that shred, oh I totally remember well, obviously I did it on the air because I had somebody call me out not too long ago.
Speaker 2:They saw me in the uh uh with the with bart star when I was getting passes from him and I was wearing the brettavre jersey. Oh and they said Timmy, I heard all the shit that you gave Izzy about wearing a guy's jersey who was younger than him and, if my math is correct, I think you're slightly just by a few months older than Brett Favre and you were sporting his jersey when you were catching footballs from Bart Starr that one morning in 2001 in birmingham, alabama now let me clear this up for you though.
Speaker 3:Okay, through all of the drugs that brett farve has taken, he looks older.
Speaker 2:He looks oh, he looks much older than me. There you go, so there it is but he, it is correct, I, I shouldn't have done that and all honesty and really looking back at it, people should not wear another man's jersey with another man's name on it, because it's kind of a facial to your ancestors, you know what I'm saying, I do.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's like you're not proud of your own moniker.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's like you know, go ahead and be a fan of the Green Bay Packers, but, you know, get your own jersey number and put your own name on the back of it. How's that?
Speaker 3:Or just keep it blank. Everybody knows the number, the player.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:So yeah.
Speaker 2:But I have to do that because I get used to give him so much shit.
Speaker 3:Well, but it's fun to give Izzy shit.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, he's one of those. It's golden. Yeah, I mean kev. I remember, uh, we were at uh at big texas and you know we used to always talk baseball at big texas. You know, gary uh the dj, gary brant is a huge fan of baseball and you know, izzy uh, growing up as an astros fan, and we were talking about, uh, some of the great players that we remember when we were kids and I brought up the name Robin the out.
Speaker 3:Oh great, A shortstop for the Milwaukee brewers.
Speaker 2:And a hall of famer 2000.
Speaker 3:Hall of famer.
Speaker 2:I think two time MVP. Anyway, izzy says oh, I have never heard of Robin Young, he's not a baseball fan. Yeah, even though we were playing music and you couldn't hear a record scratch from the DJ booth All right.
Speaker 2:Amongst us. You could hear the record scratch. We thought he was kidding at first. You know how could you be a Generation X quote unquote huge baseball fan and never heard of Robin Young? Yeah Right, it's befuddling. I, I, yes, I mean, and at first I was like okay, because you know I'm, I was a brewers fan. You know, I lived in milwaukee and I went to those games. Is it just me? Because no but gary immediately said no. If you're a baseball fan of our eight, you know who fucking Robin Young is.
Speaker 3:You absolutely do.
Speaker 2:And then, as he's going well, we were National League growing up and he's American League. I'm like no, no, because I knew all the great players in the National League too.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I knew all the players in the American League and National League. You just know great players, great players, right? Yeah, speaking of Gen X, do you feel like you're in touch with your teenage self now that the World Series is set and we're back to the late 70s with the Yankees and Dodgers?
Speaker 2:It's so crazy, kev, because those were the World Series that when we first started watching and really paying attention to baseball, it was those Dodgers-Yankees games. Yes, reggie Jackson, craig Nettles, chris Shambliss, willie Randolph, and on and on and on. And, of course, thurman Munson.
Speaker 3:That's right.
Speaker 2:And then you know, on the Dodgers side, ron Say, steve Garvey, you know you had Socia. Davey Lopes, Davey Lopes, yeah, all those guys. Bill Russell, rick Mundy, gary Maddox.
Speaker 3:Well, Ron Say was third base Gary Maddox, I don't recall the outfielder. Well, their outfielder was Rick Mundy, reggie Smith and Dusty Baker. Yeah, and Dusty Baker.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's right, dusty Baker. Yeah, it totally reminds me, even though I hate that they're in the world. Yeah, this was the first time Kev American League Championship Series did not have the Houston Astros in it since 2016. Did you know that?
Speaker 3:I did. Yeah, I knew it was a monster streak.
Speaker 2:So that was weird for us here in Houston going ooh, acls, ooh or ALCS, ooh, this hurts.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you know, oh, I totally know. Yeah, I mean I didn't watch any of the games. I just looked and saw that the Dodgers are playing the Yankees starting on Friday and I'm like, ah, kind of reminds me of my youth.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and speaking of generations Kev, I got to throw this out, Something that I just found out this weekend and maybe you knew it from a blurb, but I did not know it and I had to check with my kids. Did you know that schools in America pretty much stopped teaching cursive in 2011?
Speaker 3:We just had this conversation over the weekend with my nieces.
Speaker 2:You're kidding. They don't notice. They don't know to write cursive, do they Not a clue? No clue, nope, none whatsoever. And Jonas, he was like kind of the uh at ground zero for it, because you know they teach cursive about third grade and he was in third. He remembers being in third grade and they started teaching them cursive and then out of nowhere, they just just stopped. Yeah, they just completely shut it down. You know they thought okay, keyboards and talk to text, they don't need to know cursive. So, kev, check this out. They don't know how to sign their name.
Speaker 3:No, everything's digital now.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they have no idea how to sign. I asked my kids. I said you know if you have a document to sign, you know. And I asked Audrey and Jonas your driver's license, what does that signature look like? It's their initials, that's all it is. I did not know that, man. I did not realize that an entire generation now because you know that's 13 years ago they don't know how to write in cursive.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so we were sitting around, we were talking about this with my nieces One's a sophomore in high school and the other one's in seventh grade and my sister came up with this kind of what I thought was a brilliant idea. You know, like escape rooms. Okay, she wants to do like five different rooms, not escape rooms, but you just go in them and things that were in the 70s that no longer exist, things that were in the 80s that no longer exist in the 90s, and you go in and you just see and like a paper with cursive writing would be in one, you know, and I was like that would be kind of interesting, yeah, and then I said, yeah, the Smithsonian already exists exists.
Speaker 2:Exactly. And Kev, I remember my kids. We were watching a movie and I forget what movie it is and one of the actors faxed that thing over. Oh, it was Usual Suspects.
Speaker 3:Oh, great movie, Great movie.
Speaker 2:Where they were faxing over the picture of Kevin Spacey of Kaiser Sosa.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And my kid. What is that?
Speaker 3:Right.
Speaker 2:What is that? Okay, so you guys used to have to like take a piece of paper with stuff on it and put it in a machine and then the machine on the other. That is so fucking lame, dad.
Speaker 3:Yeah well, at the time it was cutting-edge.
Speaker 2:Yeah well, at the time it was cutting edge kids oh, it was huge yeah, yeah and one of my, one of the first things I did in sales. You know I I used to work at kinko's in college. I, the nation tim tuttle, so sold the most uh, most uh fax paper seven months straight kev nice were you also the leader in the clubhouse with uh but xerox copies I did not do that but since you know it was a college job that you know, sometimes when we had to do some overnight stuff that you know, Timmy was having a little fun.
Speaker 3:I bet.
Speaker 2:Because some of those key ops were very, very attractive.
Speaker 3:That's all I got to say. Yes, of course.
Speaker 2:Of course, kev. You know I know you like to hear the continuing saga of you know what I'm doing and it's so funny that this is coming up now. We had a powwow yesterday, myself and my sister Tina, and my brother Todd and my sister-in-law Jenny, you know, talking about mom. They're going to move mom from Palm Springs to Pennsylvania. You know she's 88 now and you know Tina's Tina's going to live out in Pennsylvania. So Todd and Tina are going to be in Pennsylvania and they want to bring mom out there just to make sure that there's an eye on her.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, hey, mom, we love you so much. We're going to take you out of the warmth and sun and move you to fucking Pennsylvania, exactly Just in time for winter. Exactly, exactly.
Speaker 2:What the hell? I didn't even think of that. That's freaking hilarious. See, all this beautiful weather. It's gone. Yep, that's for giving us the belt. It took 40 years, but you should think you were going to get away with it. Nah, but you know, they were asking hey, you know how's it going, you know lady situation, and I'm like, hey, man, I'm enjoying the buffet, if you will. I, you know, for 30 years, is, you know, relationship to relationship to relationship. I'm not good at it. It's cost me a couple million dollars, a little bit of heartache. You know, I'm just um, you know, so I told them. But I, I, uh, I. Last week I lost another, you know, quote unquote friend with benefit.
Speaker 3:Oh, no what happened. How long had you been with this friend with benefits?
Speaker 2:Number one. She'd hung out a couple of times.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 2:And she was supposed to come and hang out. Mm-hmm, um, she she was. She was with me one night and then she was supposed to come back the next night. Now, rarely will I do two night, I just usually don't. But she's got some tricks up her sleeve and I kind of like her.
Speaker 3:I see.
Speaker 2:Anyway, she texted me right before she's going to come over and she complained she wasn't feeling well and I was like, oh okay, the last thing I want is somebody over here with the squirts. Oh geez, oh God.
Speaker 3:Or something like that. So the next day I reach out to her.
Speaker 2:you know somebody over here with the squirts right, oh geez, oh god, or something, or something like that, or yeah so the next day, you know I I reach out to her well, how are you?
Speaker 2:everything good? She didn't answer. She seemed to keep me going cold on me. Oh so I don't, I don't, I don't bother after you know, I just want to make sure she's okay the next day. Yeah, I'm not one, I'm not one of those like an hour later, you okay, everything good. No, but the next day I hadn't heard from her and I just said hey, I just want to make sure that you're not in the hospital, or something like that. And then she finally answered and was really weird.
Speaker 2:And I was like well, what's wrong? What happened? What's going on? She finally came out with it. She's a little uncomfortable with me, why?
Speaker 3:How so.
Speaker 2:Because, quote unquote, she saw my continue watching tab on Amazon Prime and did not like what was on it. Oh yeah, so I immediately turned on the continue watching on Amazon Prime and Texas Chainsaw Massacre was one, all right, the Menendez Murders was two Becoming Evil. The inside story about serial killers was number three.
Speaker 3:Awesome.
Speaker 2:And number four was Match Game 1978. So I texted her back and I go how can you not love Match Game?
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, anyway, did you clear it up with her?
Speaker 2:Well, yeah, I just. I just said, you know I enjoy the darker side. I'm not. I'm not that way myself. I have a conscious, I have sympathy, I love people. But you know I, like millions and millions of other Americans, enjoy, you know, that kind of content programming, and she was very uncomfortable with it.
Speaker 3:Oh, wow, yeah, no Well, I mean what you're talking about there. Menendez Brothers was the number one show on Netflix for a long time. The greatest horror movie ever made is the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I don't say that. The critics say it Match Game. You know who didn't like Match Game? Richard Dawson baby, that's right man.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so anyway, she's got her thing, and whatever.
Speaker 3:Well, like you said, you just got to go to the grocery store and you'll find another one.
Speaker 2:Hey, kev, yes, Actually the weather's cooling off here. Finally, a little bit in Houston.
Speaker 1:Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2:So the three, three and a half mile cardio walks, they're yielding it.
Speaker 3:Oh, they're bearing fruit, are they?
Speaker 2:Yeah, because they're coming out more and they're, you know there's, there's some cuties, and you know me now I just don't give a fuck Right. So I'll, you know, I'll walk past somebody and if they give me the second look, I'll go. Hey, you looking good guy, and you know they'll go. I don't have one right now and I'll be like hello I'll be that lucky guy well, hello, because I don't care anymore.
Speaker 2:But you know, a lot of people won't do that. A lot of people won't do that. They're afraid I'm, I'm, I just I don't care isn't it?
Speaker 3:uh, I was talking to my friend stan about this when we were buying the car. It's so refreshing to not need but to want. You know, because if you don't need, you'll walk away Absolutely. If you want, you'll hang in there.
Speaker 2:Absolutely.
Speaker 3:I so held the upper hand with all of the car dealerships.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah. Yeah, exactly, if you're not getting your deal, you just walk away.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and I still have five of them calling me every day. Can we work out a deal on this? I'm like no, I already bought one.
Speaker 2:Did the one who said that they didn't want cash. They wanted to finance it because that's where they really make a lot of money? Did they ever call back and say, hey, we fucked that up.
Speaker 3:Just emailed me this morning. Can we help you with another car? No, you can't. Did you let them know why? Yeah, I told him.
Speaker 2:I said Always let them know why.
Speaker 3:Yeah, no, I said I've already bought another car, number one and number two. I told you in a previous email that I found out everything I need to know about your dealership when you said you would prefer that I finance instead of pay cash.
Speaker 2:Yeah, did they respond? No, no, no, yeah, I love that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but you know you being in a position of I don't need a relationship, I would like to be in one. You hold all the cards, dude, I don't even like to be in one. Oh, there you go. Okay, wow, you really even hold a lot of cards.
Speaker 2:Kev. I, you know, I, like you know, I'll spend time with a lovely lady and all I'm thinking as I'm doing it is what's the deal breaker? What's the deal breaker? Yeah, cause, cause, I don't, I don't. I mean, it's somebody that's really got to really zing me and make it worthwhile. And you know if I'm like okay, she's hot, she's sexy, there's no freak gap. She doesn't talk with her mouth full of food. After I walk into the bathroom it doesn't stink. This is good.
Speaker 3:Oh Jesus. You know, what I'm saying. I do know what you're saying, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I shouldn't be this way, and I know there's a couple of them. They listen to the podcast, so they're going right now. What a dick.
Speaker 3:But I'm just being honest, yeah, and honesty is not always fun.
Speaker 2:But I feel like that, in this world we live in now, I owe them honesty. Yeah, I just owe people honesty. Anybody that is seeking honesty. They will get it in in in bunches from me.
Speaker 3:It's an admirable trait yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I just, I, I don't, you know, so anyway, so that one's done.
Speaker 3:Now we're moving on.
Speaker 2:Huh yeah we're moving on, kev, and you know I got speaking of you, know people around here and the people around me and in my orbit that listen to or watch the podcast. Apparently I'm becoming like the neighborhood sounding board and I don't know what it is about this podcast that makes me sound like I know what I'm talking about and I can flesh things out and I'm a person that's wise and can give good advice. I don't know where that comes from at all.
Speaker 3:I have no idea where that would come from.
Speaker 2:That just seems to be a thing now in the neighborhood and I got a guy in the neighborhood. He came to me and he said yeah, yeah, I just kind of wanted your feedback on something here. And he you know, since he listens, I'm just gonna call him william, okay, um, he's telling me that he's struggling because his toddler keeps walking in on him and his wife when they're having sex oh, okay yeah and the wrestling yeah
Speaker 2:yeah well, exactly what he said. He's running out of excuses, uh, to give the toddler, the poor little, poor little guy. And I said well, you don't use an excuse, saying the same thing every time. And I got what I used to say with my kids when they walked in is, mommy and I are just wrestling? I would say that, yeah, and you know, a little bit later my kids were pretty astute. They would ask further questions like why does it always seem like you're winning, daddy? And I'll just be like well, you know, mom is good at you. Know, upright striking, she's great at you. She's got the boxing game down, but once things get on the ground, you know it's dad time. Uh, wrestling, wrestling's my thing. Yeah, I, I got superior wrestling skills. So you know, I would let them know that.
Speaker 3:Yes, kids, daddy invented the ground and pound.
Speaker 2:Exactly. Yeah, my thing is the arm bar. I want an arm bar, but, kev, we always tried to take precautions. You know, one of us would. You got to eyeball the doorknob. Okay, and if that thing starts turning, you got to eyeball the doorknob.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 2:And if that thing starts turning, you got to jump off.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And she was very good at that. Now me, when it was my turn to watch the doorknob. I mean, you know how it is. You get two to three minutes in and you're like got a rhythm going and you're about to let that thing go. You forget the doorknob, doorknob be damned.
Speaker 2:And that's just when they would come in right there. And you know, since you're about to go, you don't want to stop. So it gets really weird, that's right. So like you're picking sheets up to cover everything you know, just just so you can just do the schwarzenegger noise, you know, yes, absolutely anyways, I'm explaining this to william, a lady that just moved here. Uh, you know, heard the back end of it and she's not happy she moved here.
Speaker 3:Oh really.
Speaker 2:I can tell she was a little taken back, she'll come around. I just said. I apologize, ma'am. I didn't know you were there and you know welcome to the neighborhood.
Speaker 3:One day she'll need advice and come over to you.
Speaker 2:My name's Tim. You probably don't want to shake my hand right now Wondering where it's been.
Speaker 3:For sure.
Speaker 2:All right, kev. For those unaware, we're recording this Tuesday instead of Monday because Kev had a little sore throat problem. How is your throat, are you okay?
Speaker 3:Throat's okay, I just can't really breathe.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I know, I know let's do this to finish it up and this will be a fun size episode because I want to save your pipes. Oh, thank you, man, because I know you have to do some some announcer stuff. I do. Let's finish this podcast with a. Be honest.
Speaker 1:Be honest.
Speaker 2:Be honest. All right, kev be honest. Yes, if you died today, what six would be carrying your casket? Oh, wow, be carrying your casket.
Speaker 3:Oh, wow, whew. That's a tough one because I don't know if I have six friends that wouldn't want to carry it.
Speaker 2:Okay, all right, kev, and that's where I had a problem too, but I want you to think of them.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Obviously, I'll be one of the carriers.
Speaker 3:Well, I would figure that you would be one of them. I'd be one of them. But Well, I would figure that you would be one of them, I'd be one of them. But the back of my head says you know he's going to want to drop you. You know he's going to want to drop you.
Speaker 2:Well, no, the back of your head should be saying I got to make sure the other five are good, yeah, otherwise Tuttle will not be there.
Speaker 3:I mean, I guess I would have to say my brother, right, right, you got to have your brother, yeah, okay, so there's two of the four. Um, let's see, probably my brother-in-law, ron. He's a good guy.
Speaker 2:Brother-in-law. I'd love to have Ron there. He's a good guy.
Speaker 3:Yeah, really good guy. Um, my uncle Ron, so we've got. And then my brother-in-law, paul, right, yeah, and then who else would the last one be?
Speaker 2:Ozzy.
Speaker 1:Osbourne All aboard.
Speaker 2:Hey, kyle. Yeah, that'll take forever to get you to the gray side man. Exactly, he's shuffling. Yes, hey, roy Sharon.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I never really wanted to go on the ground anyway, so he would be perfect.
Speaker 2:Kevin does not want to be buried. He's worried about, you know, suffocating. Yeah, exactly, he's always had a claustrophobic thing he doesn't want to be underground. Therefore, he has Ozzy Osbourne, michael J Fox yeah, oh, yeah, yeah for sure.
Speaker 3:And you know he's not kidding when he says that I'm claustrophobic and I don't want to be in a coffin. That's true.
Speaker 2:No, it is. He's told me that. Yeah, for me, kev, I would have none. Why? Because I'm going to be cremated man. Yeah, okay, I'm just hoping one of my kids will carry the urn. They're pretty busy but I figure. But I figure one of them carries the urn and I'm good.
Speaker 3:I think that you'll have four kids fighting over who could carry the urn. Yeah, no, no. I know that we're planning on wrapping up here, but this is kind of what my rabbit hole this week was. I found an article about a lady who says that when we die, we just go into an alternate universe. We don't end our life, our physical being ends, but we just glom on to another physical being in an alternate universe.
Speaker 2:I think that is a possibility.
Speaker 3:How can you discredit it? We don't know, right, we don't know, we don't know. But then you get all these religious people coming in and quoting the Bible and all this stuff and I just got sucked into that argument.
Speaker 2:Well, here's the thing, though, is you know, one person's alternate universe is another person's heaven, or another person's hell. I mean, it's just a. It's just a different name.
Speaker 3:Yep.
Speaker 2:You know, yeah, no, I know, yeah, no, I, I, truly I, I believe that is possible. You know if it's, if it's not specifically a heaven and hell, you know clouds and fire type thing. It's based on how you did here. You know what, where you're at in the alternate universe Like. If you lived a good life, your alternate universe will be a very positive thing.
Speaker 3:It's exactly what the article was saying.
Speaker 2:Yeah, if you're a fucking dick, you know. Yeah, like many politicians and evil motherfuckers on this planet, you're going to have a rough alternate universe.
Speaker 3:Well, two things with that Number one. The one comment that made the most sense to me was we're all energy and you can't kill energy. True, right, true, yeah. And then, as far as being a dick and getting your due comments hi, deshaun Watson, due comments. Hi, deshaun watson. Seriously, man, yeah, settles with 20 women and, uh, I mean, his career is done, his career is done?
Speaker 2:is he not playing anymore?
Speaker 3:he, he ruptured his achilles oh, yeah, yeah okay, he ruptured his achilles on sunday. I didn't know that. Yeah, they say that uh, at best, uh, it'll be a year, but Cleveland's already talking about eating $179 million to release him.
Speaker 2:They gave him $250 million guaranteed and they got nothing out of it.
Speaker 3:They haven't even gotten a full season of play out of him. Oh yeah, combined over three years.
Speaker 2:If there was ever a dude that was going to completely mail it in after getting the bag, it's Deshaun Watson.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:You know when your mind frame is I got the money. Oh, you want me to work and watch film. I'd rather rape.
Speaker 3:I mean, that's what we found out.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean yeah, I'll tell you this. I mean that's what we found out. Yeah, I mean yeah, yeah, I'll tell you this. If it's two, three, four, five, maybe, just maybe that could be just people out in the get-em and organizing something. 20, 21, 22 dudes where there's smoke, there's fire.
Speaker 3:Absolutely.
Speaker 2:And I'm like that is yeah, he's a fucking apex predator man. I'm sorry.
Speaker 3:He's got to be right. I don't doubt it for a second. I mean he settled with 20. If you're innocent, you don't settle.
Speaker 2:I will. Yeah, you'd be like fuck you dude. Yeah, fuck you. You know where's your receipts, bitch.
Speaker 3:You know what I'm saying. I don't see Garth Brooks settling from his accuser right now.
Speaker 2:Yeah, what's going on there, man?
Speaker 3:What's One of one of his former makeup people stylist is claiming that he that he forced himself on her.
Speaker 2:What's the latest on it, though? I remember just seeing a little bit. You know me, I'm off the grid now.
Speaker 3:Yeah, well, the latest is that in a defamation he named his accuser. Oh wow, yeah, so he's playing hardball. He's not, yeah, so you know, a victim of sexual assault. They usually use Jane Doe, not Garth. He came out and said her name.
Speaker 2:Oh, wow, okay, All right, so this may be just a shakedown, then, huh.
Speaker 3:That's what he believes and that's what a lot of people believe. So I don't know. I wasn't there so I'm not going to speculate. I mean, but it's Garth man.
Speaker 2:He's never struck me as that type Again. You never know, though. No, you never do. You just never know. I mean Kev, one of the most affable, coolest guys, nicest guys in history in terms of celebrity before 1994 was OJ Simpson. True yeah, 1994 was OJ Simpson, True, yeah, that's why you know anybody that had hung out with him and talked. You know they were shocked. But then you start hearing the tapes, the 911 calls and shit like that, and start seeing the pictures of Nicole and everything like that and yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:So that's okay, that's crazy. So karma, karma hopped all over, uh, deshaun oh yeah there it is. You know, I mean you.
Speaker 3:You wonder what his alternate universal day and cleveland browns fans were cheering when they oh yeah, dude, they were cheering when he was carted off. You're kidding me, no? And LeBron James came out yesterday and said you know, that's despicable, and I don't believe for a second that they were cheering the injury. I believe wholeheartedly, they were cheering that we finally got rid of him. He hasn't done a damn thing for the organization. He's stolen money. You know, I think that's what they were cheering. I don't think they were cheering the injury at all.
Speaker 2:What were the comments on LeBron's bullshit?
Speaker 3:I didn't read the comments on that. I just saw that he and so did Miles Garrett said pretty much the same thing as LeBron.
Speaker 2:Kev. He basically has held the entire franchise hostage. Yeah, when you get that kind of money and have zero production and seem apathetic about everything, you're holding your franchise hostage, and they've been held hostage for three years now yep yeah so yeah, I mean as a fan. Yeah, you don't want anybody in pain, no, but you're just like oh, okay, now, now we got a new life. Who's qb in for them?
Speaker 3:uh, I don't know who will qb for them um yeah, I, I guarantee you they're calling tannahill.
Speaker 2:Yeah right, he's the, he's the guy. Yeah, and tannahill's been working out.
Speaker 3:He's, he's ready yeah, well, they thought he was going to go to the raiders I.
Speaker 2:They thought why didn't he go to miami after 20 went down?
Speaker 3:true, he's been there before, I don't know I don't't know.
Speaker 2:There must have been something happened in Miami that we don't know about where they're like. No, we're not calling Tannehill.
