Ep #40: Hits, Trades, and Tallahassee Escapades: Laughs and Life Shifts with Tuttle & Kline
What if Ichiro Suzuki had started his MLB career earlier, could he have rewritten baseball history? We kick off our discussion by examining how Ichiro's unique skills might have transformed the all-time hit record landscape. Drawing from this sports analogy, we transition to the world of trading, stressing the importance of discipline and patience in managing risks and achieving financial success. By comparing the strategies of baseball legends like Ichiro, Tony Gwynn, and Wade Boggs, we underline the value of consistent, smaller wins in both sports and financial investments, encouraging listeners to adopt a thoughtful and calculated approach.
From there, our conversation takes a personal turn as we share stories of resilience in the face of career transitions and unexpected challenges. Relocating to Tallahassee was a whirlwind decision that came with its own set of sacrifices but offered valuable lessons in adapting to change. We reflect on these experiences, highlighting how passion and strategic thinking are essential in both high-stakes trading environments and life itself. Our candid anecdotes offer humor and insight, inspiring listeners to pursue what they love and embrace the unexpected with open minds.
Finally, we explore lifestyle choices and societal expectations with a mix of humor and honesty. Through humorous storytelling, we tackle topics ranging from gender roles to dietary preferences in relationships, adding a lighthearted touch with a story about a "veggie rights activist." Ethical concerns about animal testing and the world of entertainment, including the recent Mike Tyson boxing match, bring depth to our discussion. We wrap up by sharing Tuttle's daughter, Audrey's exciting new role in volleyball marketing and express gratitude to our audience, inviting them to stay connected for more engaging content. Join us for a journey full of laughter, real-world lessons, and intriguing insights!
Welcome to the Tuttle and Klein Show.
Speaker 2:He is so Kleine. What's going on, tuttle? There's just something that just popped in my head and I can't get it out of my head, and since it happened so close to us launching the podcast, I didn't get a chance to look it up to see if it was true or not. Kevin, I have a funny feeling. I don't know if you knew this, ichiro.
Speaker 3:Ichiro Suzuki Hall of Famer.
Speaker 2:He did not start playing in the major leagues here in the United States until he's like 27 years old, I believe.
Speaker 3:That is correct. He had an 8-10 year career in the Japanese League, where he amassed over 2,000 hits.
Speaker 2:If you would have played in the big leagues here in the United States starting at age 21 and had an extra six years in Major League Baseball, I'm pretty sure he would have at least threatened Pete.
Speaker 3:Rose. He would have at least threatened Pete Rose. Well, he would have had over 5,000 hits. If you take into consideration that he had 2,000 in the Japanese league and then 3,000 plus in Major League Baseball, you take those six years in Japan away from him, you put those 2,000 hits. Yeah, he would have at least threatened, but I think he would be the all-time hit leader.
Speaker 2:I would not give him every one of those 2 000 hits that he got in the japanese league and major league baseball. There is a talent difference even 1500 would still. Well that's what I'm saying, I think, I think, I think, I think even 13, 14, 1500 makes him the all-time hit king it's amazing, he was a talent man.
Speaker 3:I yeah, he was a great talent. Oh my God. God bless you, god bless you.
Speaker 2:I tried to hold that one back. Yeah, I kept the reason it popped in my head. You know I was talking back and forth via messaging with you know, somebody that's kind of like a risk manager for my futures trading. Okay, and you know we're going over my trades.
Speaker 3:Uh-huh.
Speaker 2:And he's like, yeah, he's like for most people we tell them because of the math that they should really be going for a higher risk reward. Say you risk $1,000, they should be trying to make $2,000 or $3,000 to make up for a lot of losses. He said with you he goes. You're kind of like a. You know good singles hitter, you're Ichiro. You're Pete Rose, you know you're Tony Gwynn Wade Boggs. You know, just slap it around and get on base. He said your entries are so solid, so good, that your win rate is high. He said there's nothing wrong with you, wrong with just a one-to-one Risk 1,000, get a quick 1,000, get out, be done for the day.
Speaker 3:I wouldn't think that there would be anything wrong with that. You're winning.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I just got caught up in the whole. There's this whole thing where you got to risk a little bit and make a ton to make up for the math and everything like that. Well, I'm really good at analysis. I'm a great chart reader, a tape reader that I can make $1,000 over the next 70 to 80 seconds before I lose maybe $1,200.
Speaker 3:Okay, well, make that money.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and I was looking at it too. I was pouring over. It's the first time I ever really poured over, like every trade, and it's like, wow, what am I doing?
Speaker 3:You're right and it's like, wow, what am I doing? You're right. Well, here's the thing I mean. If you looked at, we have a financial advisor. We've had him ever since we moved to Houston in 2000, 2005. And if you look at the investment strategy that Don set up for us, we're singles hitters too. I was able to retire at 51.
Speaker 2:Yeah, a little bit here, a little bit there. Yeah, that's right. And he even said he goes. You know, you can lever up too. I'm with that. I mean your funding company and even if you get a Series 3, which you know that's my goal get a Series 3 and be a licensed prop trader where I can have bring in all kinds of different investors if they want to invest in my trade and he said what's it take to become a Series 3?
Speaker 2:My current funding company will. If I show performance over a period of time, they will pay for me to take the Series 3 test. Okay, for me to take the Series 3 test, okay, and you know, if I pass the test then I will be a licensed prop trader Nice. So he said, yeah, he goes. You have everything here, he goes. The only times you run into trouble are, you know, you're trying to get too much out of it. Okay, he said you pick these great setups, these great entries and then you know you'll see your 9, 10 ticks and you're trying to get much more out of it because you're falling into that whole. Hey, you've got to have a much bigger reward than risk and everything like that. He said, hey, just hit your singles man. Yeah, take the reward. Yeah, and you could do one a day.
Speaker 3:There you go.
Speaker 2:And that's what I did today I just you know, one set up at about nine 30, as beautiful as absolutely the second entry long after a break of the channel. We're going to test a new high and I thought we were going to test the overnight high. Also, I'm like this is easy money right here. Got in 70 seconds later, made my money.
Speaker 3:Don't you look back on it? Okay, so like I mean yeah there was a lot of work that went into that process for you to be able to work 70 seconds and make your money. But do you look back at our radio career? We were on the air for five hours. We did three hours of prep before two hours afterwards. It's like life could have been a lot easier.
Speaker 2:I know I think about that because you know the guy who who taught me. You know he had been putting up YouTube videos since 2010. So I could have gotten into this. Now I will say this it's not easy. A lot of people don't study enough and don't hang around enough to go in that direction, like I've literally been doing this, day in and day out, for four years, the same thing, this, just the same study that you know. And now I got it. Now it's clicked.
Speaker 3:Well, it goes to the podcast, it goes to radio. They're not short-term games, they're long-term games, they're marathons. You know radio. We started making shit money. Nothing, dude. My very first salary in radio was $13,100 a year. I was working 90 hours a week for that and I was loving it.
Speaker 2:I, I loved it I remember my ex saying, because you know, I was, uh, you know, yeah, a sales engineer, company car expense account. And you know, then I get into radio in 1996, kevin and I on thunder 94, nashville's new rock, in in nashville, tennessee, and I told her what I was getting paid because I started off all right, I'm gonna get on the air, get on the air, you know I'm going to do weekends, but I'm going to start off as a promo guy and you know, this is what they're paying me. And she goes oh, so you're going to make 28% of what you made before.
Speaker 3:I'm like, hey, trust me, you got to trust me, I'm going to do this, I'm going to do this and then when we uh, when you went to uh uh, knoxville and then daytona beach, and then we got back together in tallahassee, you took another huge, you took a 32 percent hit.
Speaker 2:Kathy must have loved me yeah, I, I, I took a, uh, yeah, I, I took uh, not even half, you're right. Yeah, her and I just bought a house and and and paid for the, paid for the. You know, all the initial stuff for a house in Knoxville.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And then we get that job, get that job offer in Tallahassee, florida. Yeah, like 42% of what I was making we got to. We got to eat what we paid to to put a. We didn't put a down payment point on the house, but we put money down to put. We didn't put a down payment point on the house, but we put money down. You know, whatever they call it, I forget what they call it Earnest money, Earnest money.
Speaker 3:Yeah, we put earnest money down. We had to eat that. Yeah, here's the great thing, kath we're going to move to Tallahassee and we're going to live in government housing with a bunch of foreigners that are going to be plotting to. You know, bomb us.
Speaker 2:Yeah, klein, we think we're not 100.
Speaker 3:sure, we think klein's upstairs neighbor in tallahassee, florida, was muhammad atta we're not kidding, we really do think that, uh, some of the 9-11, 9-11 bombers, uh the pilots, were living in our complex because all hours of the day it was strange men of that of that uh culture coming in and out.
Speaker 2:And doing the flight simulator. Well, I don't need to land, I just need to know how to take off.
Speaker 3:Yeah, exactly the client's going.
Speaker 2:What is going on here?
Speaker 3:We found out.
Speaker 2:Don't you want to land? I mean, if you're a pilot, you want to be able to land that thing.
Speaker 3:But yeah, no, radio is a long-term game. I mean, look, we had 30 years in the industry, tim, and you know a lot of people don't even last 30 days because the pace sucks, the hours are long and you're constantly scrutinized the podcast. You know you told me a while back Rogan didn't start making money for five years.
Speaker 2:Five years, not a single penny. Yeah, now he makes about $150 million a year doing that podcast.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's just, it's long-term stuff and, like you were getting back to your trading, if you have the wherewithal to stick with it and you believe in yourself and it's what you love to do, then you'll stick with it and you'll you'll make it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, kevin, I you know I started working um with this guy and working on this project in Kevin, I started working with this guy and working on this project. I don't know if you remember or not. I'd always been trading. I'd always had that computer in front of me and you saw the charts yourself years and years and years.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But when COVID hit, and the next day, here we are a radio show with a million and a half listeners and we open the phone lines up and nobody's calling because COVID hit and nobody's on the roads, nobody's going in, everybody's staying home I thought to myself, oh shit, so the people in the government have the power to completely shut me down. I have mouths to feed, I've got child support, I've got kids, I've got all you know. I can't allow that power to control my life. I've got to find another option. So I I started right then. And there I remember, like a couple months after COVID, I was really studying a specific strategy because I'd done a bunch of different things over years and years and years and I was like all right, I'm going to zone in and study one thing. And I looked this guy up, I started going through his stuff and a few other guys we were in his chat room and his message board and everything like that that I started with Over the past year or two.
Speaker 2:They fall off. I can't do it. I can't, you know. Oh, I'm just making mistakes and everything like that, and you know, I'm just telling them. I said, well, you got to be more patient. You got to wait for the setup. You know that was a bad setup. You get impatient and just try to put your money up. I mean you're, we're, we're doing the S and P 500 futures e-mini market. That's where the smartest people in the world are. It's the most liquid market. It's a place where you could scale up and make a shit ton of money. The smartest people in the world the MIT people who have algorithms, the high frequency trading they're brilliant people. They're out there to take your money if you're impatient. That's why you got to be impatient.
Speaker 2:It's hard to do and they don't have the patience. They're just like, oh, the market's moving and I'm not aboard, I'm not on. Oh my God, I'm missing out. No, for this. What I do and what they should have done is I'm just a sniper sitting there in my ghillie suit, I'm waiting, and sometimes Kev, sometimes I will wait three hours of screen time. The shot's not there. The shot's not there, exactly, the shot's not there. And these sharks, who are from MIT and they work for the big houses and the hedge funds and everything like that, they're just waiting for you to do something stupid, because it's a zero-sum game. In order for them to make money, they got to take money from us.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So I, I, I'm just like no, I'm just going to wait, I'm going to line it up. I'm going to line it up, all right. Boom, let's fire the shot. Boom, there it is.
Speaker 3:And for any of you listening to this or watching this. And if you're wondering am I in the right situation? Am I doing what I truly love to do? If you're not talking as passionately as Tim is talking right now, then the answer is no. Listen to the way this man is talking right now. The energy in his voice, the enthusiasm, the excitement. If you can talk like that about your job, you have found your calling. You are so amped and jazzed right now. I've never seen you this, even in our radio crew. I've never seen you this excited oh I, I love it.
Speaker 2:I know you, I can tell it's. It's a game. You know what it is, kev, it's a game, yeah and, but it's a game with serious consequences.
Speaker 3:Oh, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, I mean. A lot of people blow their kids' college money. A lot of people doing what I do day trading. They destroy their lives, you know. So you know you get all the freedom you want. But including in that freedom is the freedom to hang yourself.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:So, yeah, I mean, I feel every single day, I feel blessed that I have the knowledge I have, I get the opportunity that I have. And now I'm going to go, you know, use my mind against some of the most brilliant minds worldwide and I'm going to try to take just a little bite of what they expect to earn today. I just need a little bite. There you go, a little bite you can eat and, in all honesty, uh, 86.7% of the time I get my bite.
Speaker 3:There you go. All right, that's how he fulfills his coffee.
Speaker 2:Gotta pay for the coffee man Kev, you're going to. I think you're going to love this. I experienced the craziest pickup line I have ever heard before in my life and I think you're going to appreciate it. I'm doing my cardio and you know me, I'm kind of a douche. No, I do, oh no. No, I'm kind of a little bit. It's just because I heat up so much, I take my shirt off.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 2:And it's still hot in Houston, man.
Speaker 3:When is it not hot in Houston?
Speaker 2:And I just I don't like the drippy drips if I don't have to have the drippy drips.
Speaker 3:Look, you're looking at a guy on YouTube that was sweat through a corduroy sport coat Just standing around. You remember that, don't you, dude? I will never forget that man.
Speaker 2:I'll never forget that too. I thought you're like, you're like dude, you sweat through that. I was like what are you talking about? Oh shit, it's corduroy.
Speaker 2:And thus the black shirt daily routine was born yeah, exactly, exactly, the the black shirt thing is no fashion, it's functional. So, anyway, kevin, I'm doing my cardio, I'm shirtless, like I usually am, and this lady pulls up. I mean just literally, just just stops on the road right across from the path that I'm on, you know, the runner's path, the walker's path or whatever and she goes. Damn, you're hot. I'd like to kidnap you and take you home with me. And you said I thought that was the funniest thing. That was hilarious.
Speaker 3:It is yeah. I mean she wasn't my type, but I said that was the funniest thing, that was hilarious. It is yeah.
Speaker 2:I mean she wasn't my type, but I said that is the funniest thing. And then, you know, we got a laugh together. And then she took off and as I'm doing my cardio, I'm thinking about it, I'm going. You know, that could never, ever happen the other way around.
Speaker 3:That was the first thing I thought of when you said that.
Speaker 2:I'm like, yeah, you can't reverse those roles. You could never. A guy could never do that, even if he's just kidding, like this lady was kidding, yeah, uh, there would immediately be a SWAT team called oh, absolutely yeah. But you know, guys, were wired a little different. I, I appreciated that and you know, if she was my type, I probably would have been intrigued, uh-huh. But you know, guys, that's how we're wired. I mean, a woman could say, yeah, hey, I want to kidnap you, I want to drug you, I want to do terrible things to you sexually all night long, and a guy would say, hey, great, I'll buy breakfast in the morning.
Speaker 3:Unless it's Eileen Wuornos or Lorena Bobbitt. Yeah, we're in.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, A woman, though. She goes to a guy's place and she's like she like sees a pentagram on the floor or something like that, and she'll be like I got to get the fuck out of here.
Speaker 3:Exactly.
Speaker 2:A guy goes to a woman's place, sees a pentagram on the floor, kevin and he says, oh, I got to fuck her real quick and then get the fuck out of here.
Speaker 3:Yeah Right, exactly. Yeah, I'm not drinking the beverage she just tried to give me.
Speaker 2:No, no, I think I could just get this done, hit and run, get out of here real quick. That's right Say I got to use the get this done, hit and run, get out of here real quick, that's right. Say I got to use the bathroom, I'll go through the bathroom window.
Speaker 3:She's on the fifth floor. I'll risk it.
Speaker 2:I don't care she's. I mean, yeah, she's crazy and probably a Satan worshiper, but look how hot she is.
Speaker 2:So true so true, people are just wired differently. It's like kevin's, like this lady um, we're at the community grills at the pool. We got, you know, we have a cluster of grills over here on this huge luxury pool, right outside my door, here, and I think I've told you this that you know, once a week I'll do my meal prep and you know I'll, I'll make my, my stack of huge chicken breasts, you know, six huge chicken breasts, yeah, yeah. And there's a lady on the grill next to me and I'm just minding my own business. I got my AirPods in. I think I'm listening to some podcast, maybe Rogan or something like that.
Speaker 2:Okay, okay and you know she's grilling corn and you know some kind of veggie kebab with look like a like fake meat on it. You know it's not real meat. It was like very red and play-doh looking, you know oh, okay, yeah, like the manufactured meat yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:And she finally looks over at me, um, and starts talking to me and I had to. I had to. Had to double it because I had my hair AirPods on Right. So I took my AirPods on and I was like I'm sorry, ma'am, I was listening to a podcast. What did you say? She goes do you feel bad about the animals that were murdered for your nourishment?
Speaker 3:Oh, wow.
Speaker 2:And I was kind of taken back by it. But I kind of saw it coming because I I kind of felt her, you know, dagger, eyeing me, yeah, yeah. So I I said, yeah, you know, I kind of feel the same way about your spread, but I'm polite enough to keep quiet about it. I said I'm polite probably because I eat a lot of meat, so I'm not irritable and judgmental all the time. Oh shit.
Speaker 3:How'd that go over? How'd that go over?
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, you know it was kind of like she had an uncomfortable laugh. I was like, oh OK, she thinks I'm just playing with her. You know, I've got to punish her for breaking the silence and not minding her own fucking business. Yeah. So I said, yeah, I'm a veggie rights activist and what you're doing to that corn right there is heinous. I said by by the way, seeing how you're like eating this fake meat and stuff like that, it seems like you're still obsessed with meat. I bet you call ribs and steak in the middle of the night and hang up.
Speaker 2:And she laughed at that, I'm sure she did, she did, she laughed at that and she goes oh, I'm sorry, I should never have called you out like that. She goes, I, just I, she goes. I've seen all those videos of what happens to animals at the factories and the packing And'm like, hey, that's great. Um, you know, I, I, I certainly don't like that. That's part of the equation, but I, I, I've tried. I actually tried, you know, because my taryn, my ex, she was a, uh, vegetarian, okay, and you know I. So you know how it is if the person you're seeing is a vegetarian, you essentially are a vegetarian too. That is correct, sir, and I just couldn't do it. You know, like, like I have her and I would go get sushi, yeah, and then I would leave, you know, you know, kiss her goodnight and everything like that, and I would roll through and get a hamburger or some chicken or something like that on the drive-thru immediately after I left her place.
Speaker 3:Yeah, her entree is your appetizer.
Speaker 2:Exactly. I was like ah, yeah, I yeah, it's just, it's a bit much, yeah, um, and even she has come off of it now. You know, there, I just think there's only a certain amount of time you can go before you're like I just got to have me some chicken wings, man, you know.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah. Well, we tried the vegetarian thing too. It lasted for like five months.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's tough.
Speaker 3:It is. I mean, it's definitely a commitment. I know a lot of people who have done it and who stuck with it. My father-in-law is one of them. I think he's going on like five or six years, uh, but yeah, it's.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we just tried it on a whim and it didn't stick let me say this, while I can, though I I am not poo-pooing anybody, that's a vegetarian absolutely not if that's your lifestyle choice, god bless you.
Speaker 2:That's great. It's when you start calling out other people. You know, hey, we're all doing what we can to be good people in this world. You know there's there's no need to. You know, call people out and just see. That's a that, that's a thing that that that we learned on November 5th Kev. The dramatic majority of Americans just want to be left the fuck alone.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:I mean, that's the big takeaway If you had to put in a sentence the election of 2024, the biggest takeaway across every demographic male, female, black, white, asian, indian, whatever any age group. The message is we just want to be left the fuck alone, and there's one side that just wants to get in your world and tell you what to think, and tell you how to feel, and we're going to punish you if you don't. That is not American you know, it's just not healthy.
Speaker 2:No, no, do you? That's, that's great, do you? I don't care, you know you want to. You want to go to another gender? Cut your giblets off. I don't give a fuck, I, I don't, I don't, I don't care. Yeah, you know I'm a libertarian. I'm like do whatever you want, man. Yeah, don't fucking tread on me while you're doing it.
Speaker 3:So you brought up somebody asking or chastising you about your choice of delicacy chicken. Now you're talking about the election of 2024 and regulation. It brings to mind something that I was going to you. You like me to keep you in the loop on things, oh yeah yeah, let's do this right now.
Speaker 2:I'm off the grid, yeah, and because I'm off the grid, I'm not on social media or anything like that anymore. Kevin Kline is kind enough, on a weekly basis, when we do the podcast, to tell me the things that have happened over the past week in the world that I, you know, may not know or may need to know. What do you got?
Speaker 3:Well, I know that you know about DOGE, the Department of Governmental Efficiency that President-elect Trump has created with Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk. Well, I read a report yesterday and it just oh my God, tim, I can't get it out of my mind. So they took a look at the expenditures for the experiments that are happening at the National Institute of Health, the National Health Institute. Have you read any of these things?
Speaker 2:I have not Okay, because I understand and I know, because I've known for decades our federal government for the most part, at least a layer of it, a strong and powerful layer it's a criminal operation now.
Speaker 3:Well, it's interesting that you bring up the word criminal, because I think some of these scientists should be considered criminals here's. Here's the one that really stuck out to me, ok, and there are a boatload criminals. Here's the one that really stuck out to me, okay, and there are a boatload there's. You know they're injecting monkeys with methamphetamines to see how it reacts to the monkey body. You know, and they're supposed to equate that to here's one, though. By the way, if you want to see how methamphetamines affect the body, why don't you walk up and down Glenstone Avenue in Springfield, missouri, and you will see many?
Speaker 3:many cases of how methamphetamines affect the human body. We have a plethora of meth heads in this city, but here's the one that really bothered the shit out of me. Okay, they're spending a million dollars a year to inject mice with steroids and then putting them in the same cage and having them fight so that they can study roid rage. Number one animal fighting is illegal. Okay. Number two what sadistic fucking mind comes up with that?
Speaker 2:You're evil.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that is truly evil shit man.
Speaker 2:Kev. I hope and pray that Elon and Vivek and everybody involved in that new program. I hope that they're able to call tribunals. I mean there are people that need long prison terms and flat out due to treason and crimes against humanity.
Speaker 3:There are people that need to be executed period that just bothered the shit out of me for a useless study.
Speaker 2:I understand you. I understand Kevin. I know you're a big animal rights activist. Huge and something like that, you know rips into your Kev. You got to be careful. You know over the next four years what you're going to raid and what you're going to be exposed to, because I got a funny feeling a lot of evil is going to come to light.
Speaker 3:Yeah, well, a lot of evil came to light on Friday evening on Netflix, 72,000 people packed AT&T stadium to see a 30 or 20 something year old dude beat up on a six a 58 year old dude. I'm glad that they did not put this on pay-per-view, because then there would be more assholes in the world because people would have paid for this. Did you watch it? I'm talking about Jake Paul and Mike Tyson.
Speaker 2:I had Dallas and Timmy with me and Dallas had it loaded up on Netflix but it he couldn't get. You know it was. It was the circle thing.
Speaker 3:It crashed. Netflix crashed, so that tells you right there that the people that were trying to log in it was an immense amount of people. All right, my wife watched it. She loves Mike Tyson. I like Mike Tyson. Yeah, I was not in the. I love boxing. I was not in the least intrigued by this. This was a completely made up circus frenzy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I wouldn't. I had no interest in watching it live either. I thought to myself well, I'm going to watch the highlights the next day. They'll always come up with highlights and I did. I watched the two and a half minutes of highlights and there was nothing in that two and a half minutes Nothing.
Speaker 3:There weren't any highlights, none. It was pathetic, it was absolutely pathetic. And for Texas to sanction that fight. This shouldn't have been sanctioned.
Speaker 2:Not only that, Kev. How bad is Mike's financial position that he's got to do something like that to get a payday.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I don't know how much he made. I know Jake Paul made $40 million.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Mike made $20. $20. Wow, $20 million, $20 million $20 Wow, 20 million bucks, and from what I've heard, he needs it.
Speaker 3:I'm sure he does. I'm sure he does. He got ripped off so many times by different managers, agents, just his own poor management skills of money, because he never had it before. I mean dude would meet a girl in a strip club and buy her a $300,000 Bentley that night.
Speaker 2:Oh man, Let me tell you this you look good as it is, but you look better with a fucking Bentley. Oh man, this is great. You touched my pee pee.
Speaker 3:So yeah, so it was just, it was a pathetic excuse of a sporting event.
Speaker 2:I'm so sorry, man.
Speaker 3:No, I didn't watch it. I like you. Like you. I got the. I'm so sorry, man. No, I didn't watch it. I like you. Like you.
Speaker 2:I got the. I'm so sorry for Mike Tyson.
Speaker 3:Oh, I know man, I know, I know we met him, Trish and I met him. Oh, how great is that? Well, here's the picture Dude, totally affable, very likable. We went to his one-person comedy show in Vegas and afterwards we got to meet him. And yeah, super cool guy, super nice.
Speaker 2:Did you tell him you were at the fight with the ear biting?
Speaker 3:I did. I told him that. And then we had a mutual friend who wanted me to pass along a message to him, and so I did, and he's like, oh, you know, house, I'm like yeah, yeah House. I'm like yeah, yeah House. And I are, you know, we're getting along really well, we're might go into a might go do a business thing together.
Speaker 2:He's like, well, how can I get involved? And so I put him back in touch with his friend House. Ok, that until you told him the house, I, you know, just going to Mike Tyson going. Hey, I got a message from a mutual friend for you got a message from a mutual friend for you.
Speaker 3:It just sounds so, gangster, did you? Did you watch any of the post-fight?
Speaker 2:interview with Mike. No, no, what'd he say?
Speaker 3:Okay, so during the fight he's biting on his glove. He has his glove up to his and he's biting on the thumb of his glove right and the uh. The commentators are arguing back and forth and forth. Uh, mauro Ranallo says I've watched plenty of Tyson fights. He does this all the time. And Roy Jones Jr is like no, I fought against him, he didn't do that with me, he's got something wrong with his mouthpiece. So so Ariel Helwani, who's doing the post-fight interview, asked him broadcast team was debating what you were doing with your glove.
Speaker 4:Was it a mouthpiece issue or were you just biting on your glove? What was that, could you tell us? I have a habit of biting my gloves when I fight. Yes, why do you do that? I have a biting fixation. I've heard about that. I don't want to know more. Come on man.
Speaker 2:This is pretty well documented. This is pretty well documented. Are you new or something?
Speaker 3:Yeah, I thought that was hilarious. I thought it was hilarious.
Speaker 2:It's like the snake story, you know, yeah, the lady who healed the snake and the snake, the snake bitter and killed her, and the lady's going why'd you do it? I'm a snake, it's what we fucking do, that's right. Just remember that, kids. If you see a snake that's injured out on a path or something like that and you nurse it to health and it bites you and you're on your last moments, the thing's a snake.
Speaker 3:Hey, that leads me to a be honest that I have for you.
Speaker 1:All right.
Speaker 3:So I was talking to a guy over the weekend at the hockey game and he ran into some car problems. Now here's the thing he has a flat tire, the uh, he, he doesn't have the run flat, but he's it's got those locks on it. The only uh technician can get off. So he asked the uh, he asked the, so he asked the dealership if they're going to remain open for another 30 minutes. He says, yeah, you're a good enough client, we'll stay open. Well, he didn't get there in time. So the tow truck driver that took him offers to take him to the tow truck driver's house, because this guy lives two hours away. He said why don't you just stay the night at my house? So my question would you let a stranger in distress stay at your house for a night?
Speaker 4:Hmm.
Speaker 3:Would you God? I don't know, you know.
Speaker 2:I don't know, maybe I've seen too many movies or too many documentaries, yeah. But I would be more apt to say hey, man, I got an Uber coming for you, I'm going to take care of it, and the Uber is going to take you to a hotel. I took care of that too.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's what I thought too. I thought you know what that might be the best route to go, but I mean just to even offer that to a stranger.
Speaker 2:I couldn't do it. I don't think I could do it, because I wouldn't. I would not get one wink sleep.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And Kev, I'll, I'll tell you this right now. I mean I'll be open and honest with you. I mean I sleep with, uh, um, you know, a loaded nine millimeter three feet from my head, and even even with that, I, uh, I wouldn't do it.
Speaker 3:That's why I thought it would be a pretty good uh be honest, because there was a story behind it and also it is a uh quite a no, it's a great beyond it.
Speaker 2:I don't think I, I don't think I could do it.
Speaker 3:Now we did. Uh, you remember the original Spider-Man that I've always talked about, the homeless gentleman at the memorial in 610? Yeah, we did offer on Thanksgiving to have him come over and stay with us, but Larry didn't want to because Larry would have missed out on the morning Thanksgiving breakfast over it. But over time I got to know him. He wasn't so much a stranger anymore.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay.
Speaker 3:Yeah, just a stranger. I don't know if he just met somebody a stranger anymore, but yeah, yeah, just a stranger.
Speaker 2:I don't know if you just met somebody no, unless, unless they look like selma hayek, I'm gonna pass. Uh, and speaking of homeless cab I, it's been a while, but I want to been wanting to tell you this story. Um, I, I think I saw a homeless turf battle in action. Really, I think I did um, and, and you know how it is, you know you'll see this the same homeless person on the same corner or whatever, and they're working it and everything like that. And I, I think you know I drove by and there's that same guy that's always there and it's one of the longest lights in the world. So I had the opportunity to watch this thing play out.
Speaker 2:And another homeless person came up and you know, they're just like. You know, you could just see the body language hey, this is my area right here, I work this corner. And the other one's like oh okay, I'm sorry, it just looked like a nice area or anything like that. Yeah, I'll leave you alone, I'll back away Now. Of course, that's not what they were saying, but that was what they were trying to get across to each other. I mean, one of them was saying Fumichu is the best mustache and the other one's going Zamboni, make ice.
Speaker 3:But yeah, in a very demonstrative, way yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2:But you knew the way that they were saying, hey, zamboni makes ice, that they're like, hey, sorry about that, I'll go find another bridge, it was just the neatest thing to play out, yeah yeah, oh, you know, I and we've talked about this before uh, my friend larry, the original spider-man, he has a permit to do that corner and only that corner.
Speaker 3:That's his corner.
Speaker 2:They can claim corners in Missouri.
Speaker 3:No, no, no, this is in Texas Tim.
Speaker 2:Oh, in Texas.
Speaker 3:Yeah, this is Memorial Drive and 610 right there.
Speaker 2:The original Spider-Man is right there and he gets a monthly permit that he has to pay 20 bucks a month for to the city. That that's his corn, wow he showed it to me.
Speaker 3:Did you ever ask him what he makes?
Speaker 2:I never asked him what he made, I would, I would, I would, just be curious I was more curious about his circumstances that led him to have to do that because I, I, you know, I I've heard stories of people you know being offered um jobs just saying, hey, man, I can pull you out of this.
Speaker 2:You know I'm I own this company or I'm a manager of this and we need help. You know, and you know they would be like well, you know how much and what do I have to do, and you know they would give them how much. I know I make more here doing that.
Speaker 3:Tim. I talked to two guys. Troy was his name and he chooses to be homeless. He lives in a tent on Old Katie Washington Avenue, right across the street from Transtar, or that little fork right across from Silver Eagle Distributing. He lives in a tent right there and he panhandles every day. And I asked him because I pet his dogs all the time. When I was run by I'm like hey, troy, you mind me asking. You know what's your situation. He's like I don't mind you asking at all, I choose to live this way. He's like I got a divorce. I don't want to have to pay her alimony. We don't have any kids, so it's better for me to live in a tent, not have any rent, not have any alimony, and I make enough money to eat. And the folks over at Transtar, right before they close up, they let me go in and use their shower. It's the greatest life in the world, really. It's what he told me. Honest to God, it's what he told me.
Speaker 2:Wow, okay, I mean, that's somebody who fucking hates his ex.
Speaker 3:Right, Right.
Speaker 2:I mean that's somebody who fucking hates his ex Right, right, and I would rather live this very Spartan life than give you a fucking penny.
Speaker 3:Well, like you said, he doesn't have to worry about taxes. He doesn't have to worry about, you know, rent, Doesn't have to worry about a house payment Things going wrong, car insurance, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, god bless him.
Speaker 3:All right, man, you know rent doesn't have to worry about a house payment, things going wrong, car insurance, yeah yeah, god bless him.
Speaker 2:All right man it takes, I thought about that too, I'm like holy crap, dude, you hated your act. You hate her, you know? Yeah, uh, yeah, but might be honest for you and and maybe I'm alone on this and I just want to know, cause if there's anybody that would share this with me, it would be you the rest of the population would be like what the fuck is your problem? Um, do you actually just love getting things knocked off your to-do list?
Speaker 3:Oh my God dude, I live for that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it is such a pleasure. Yeah, you know cause I, I have a to-do list every single day, you know, and I just look, I, literally I wake up and I'm like I, I want to knock everything off as soon as possible, and then I feel the rest of the day I'm completely free, totally.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm the exact same way, and if I have too many things stacking up, it stresses the shit out of me.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, you know like I like to have like five or six things that I'm going to do in a day.
Speaker 3:Oh, that's three too many.
Speaker 2:Well, yeah, I can't. Mine, Mine includes. You know, I'm going to put the promo video about our podcast on the story. That's the first thing I do every morning. Yeah, you know. So it says PP podcast promo.
Speaker 3:OK.
Speaker 2:And then you know the second thing is picks. You know, make my, make my sports betting picks All right, and then trade and then lift cardio. You know I have all that on there, uh-huh. And then you know the extra stuff that I need to do on individual days. You know grocery shopping and clean, clean the apartment, all that stuff. So I have everything down. I mean even on the days I shave twice a week. I even have on those days shaved.
Speaker 3:Hey, check this out, and I haven't. I'm getting this information secondhand from Trish, ok, but you know Missouri passed that you can have sports betting now in the state of Missouri, and so my father in law was wondering you know how much he would have won had he put money on the Buffalo Bills yesterday? Because he likes to stir up shit with the family. He was all Chiefs fans and so they were favored by plus three. So he said so if I put $500 down and they win by four, I win $463. He gets his $500 back plus 463, right.
Speaker 2:That's correct.
Speaker 3:Okay. My sister-in-law said no, that's not actually the case, dad, because they're going to take so much taxes out of that winnings that you will actually lose money. Is that possible?
Speaker 2:No, that's not possible.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 2:I mean, if he, like, it's either a big hit, or if he makes a lot of money annually from sports gambling, they'll track you down.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 2:And you have to keep your seat. But you know it's only about 25% of your total winnings that they would tax.
Speaker 3:Still, that's a quarter of what you won.
Speaker 2:Oh Kev, the taxation thing is insane, that is.
Speaker 3:Oh, tell me about it. I just had to pay the taxes on my car.
Speaker 2:It is insane. They get you for when you have your income coming in. They get you when you're buying stuff. They get you when you pass it on to your kids. And now they were going after unrealized profits. I mean, at some point, these motherfuckers who can make money on inside information because they can sway decisions you know, they're the greatest stock traders in the world are US congressmen who are cheating and probably should be in prison just for that. Now they want to take unrealized I mean Kev the evil is just knows no bounds and they're just begging for a comeuppance and they're going to get it. Unfortunately, if they keep pushing, they're going to get it.
Speaker 3:Well, I would like to see where the $2 trillion in cuts are going to come from the budget, just to see how much waste is actually out there.
Speaker 2:Kev, you'll be shocked. And you got to remember, there are 3 million paid federal workers whose only job is to protect our thing. You know, that's why, kev, that's why they went after organized crime. They're like we don't want the competition. I'm serious, you know, it's just, it's so bad, it is so corrupt, it is so criminal, it is so evil. Hopefully we can get it turned around and the pendulum will slip the other way, because I don't want a violent uprising, I don't want that, nobody wants that. But you know they keep pushing.
Speaker 3:Well, you know, it's interesting because after the election, now you're starting to see at least I'm starting to see reports that major television networks and cable networks are actually coming more towards the middle, because they know that that's where America wants to be. America doesn't want the extremism, they want to be in the middle. The middle is always one.
Speaker 2:I don't think the power elite are going to give up that quickly, though. Really, they're evil, dude, they're evil and they feel they're above the law. They're like, hey, we're billionaires, we're power, we're control. You know we, we're not going to prison there's. You know they, they're so arrogant, they, they feel they're above the law.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, I was just. I was just more talking about, like Jen Psaki, who used to be the the White House spokesperson. She was saying that the Democrats got way too far to the left and that's why they lost the election. Msnbc the morning, joe, with Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough, actually had a sit down with President Trump. President-elect Trump, are you?
Speaker 1:kidding.
Speaker 3:I'm not kidding. They went to Mar-a-Lago and had a sit down with him.
Speaker 1:Joe and I went to Mar-a-Lago to meet personally with President-elect Trump. It was the first time we have seen him in seven years.
Speaker 2:Wow, I'm surprised Trump didn't just jack him. You know, Joe's a fucking asshole.
Speaker 3:But yeah, msnbc, they said you know what, we went about this the wrong way and you know we need to learn something and we need to correct something. Yeah, so they're trying to get on his good side now because they know that you know he could screw them big time.
Speaker 2:Oh, I think that, kev. I think that what they've been involved with even the mainstream media has been part of it in terms of the crimes against humanity and the treason over the past 10 years. I think that they're worried that they may be held accountable at this point.
Speaker 3:Well, it remains to be seen. I thought it was very impressive that Trump and Biden actually sat down at the White House.
Speaker 2:Cam they're all buddies.
Speaker 3:That didn't sound like it on the campaign trail.
Speaker 2:No, well, you got to do that because you got to rally your side.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but that was some ugly rhetoric, though, from both sides. Yeah.
Speaker 2:I know Trump, he'll rip you and tear you apart and the other side's response because they really don't have you know the truth on their side or the you know the good way on their side. They get well, you should just assassinate him. You know, that's their response. I, I see somebody has to kill him. Why hasn't somebody killed him yet?
Speaker 3:fucking idiots anyway, kev um hopefully it will all get better.
Speaker 2:I hope so too I hope this was a a change, but, kev, I know how evil they are and can be, so I'm not gonna hold my breath all right let's do a top three.
Speaker 1:It's your turn this week just when you thought they couldn't how evil they are and can be. So I'm not going to hold my breath, all right?
Speaker 3:Let's do a top three. It's your turn this week, just when you thought they couldn't count any higher. It's Tuttle and Klein's top three Worst Thanksgiving food. Yeah, it's just. Yeah, it's there. I might eat it, but I don't like it. It's cranberries.
Speaker 2:I don't understand it, number one man. I'd never understood how that became a thing. And you know, if it became a thing at the original uh you know thanksgiving meal with the native americans back in the day, then somebody should have said, somebody should have stood up and said how?
Speaker 3:no fucking way shot an arrow right in that pilgrim heart.
Speaker 2:Don't serve me this again. Me no eat Me, no eat more pumpkin pie, less red shit. Yeah, uh, kev I there was a. There was a dish that we used to always have to have growing up, and I forget who made it. Um, it wasn't my mom, it was like one of my aunts. It was the green bean casserole.
Speaker 3:Not a fan, huh.
Speaker 2:Fucking hate it. Okay, it's just the worst. And you know, back in our day, and you know millennials and Gen Z will not be able to relate to this, back in our day you had to have a scoop of everything.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, you did, or somebody would get offended and you had to eat it and you had to have a scoop of everything.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, you did, or somebody would get offended and you had to eat it, and you had to eat it, uh-huh or you wouldn't get a pumpkin pie and pecan pie and, let's face it, that's all you were there for. Totally I do all this other shit for the pumpkin pie and the pecan pie. And then to get back to the football game on the tv, and there would always be a dollop yep of green bean casserole and I'm just like ah did you ever?
Speaker 2:you mixed it with the good stuff okay, kevin, kevin, I would pour opious amounts of tabasco sauce on it just to try to get it down.
Speaker 3:That's right, you got to mask it, man.
Speaker 2:But do you remember when you were a kid and you didn't like something you would actually dry? Yeah, yeah, that was mine, that was one of mine, the green bean casserole and my mom, my mom's, like Timothy.
Speaker 3:Timothy, greatest day of my life was when we rescued a dog.
Speaker 2:Bet it to him the greatest day of my life is when I hosted my first Thanksgiving and I'm like no green bean casserole and the third one. I'm trying to think of a third one because I'm pretty easy going. I mean, I even like the yams. The yams were pretty good, uh, because then you know, we, whoever made them for us, always emphasized the candied in regards to the candied yams, which I'm down with. But I'm trying to think of something else that, um, nah, everything else, kev, I'm good on, okay, I'm good on. I just I didn't like, um, uh, dark meat. Uh, I like the lighter turkey meat there you go, yeah, yeah what about you?
Speaker 2:did any of that hit home with you?
Speaker 3:yeah, cranberry sauce I don't understand at all, especially the canned stuff. Yeah, forget that uh, sweet potato casserole. Now, as I said, I will still eat it, but I just prefer the sweet potato. Just you know, bake me a sweet potato, don't put the marshmallows in in the, in the, in the sauce and stuff on it making it sweeter. And then salad, just a regular salad. Who wants salad?
Speaker 2:oh, no shit, I I have that all the time. Yeah, this should all be stuff that I don't have all the time.
Speaker 3:Exactly.
Speaker 2:Exactly, that's why we're here. Yeah, no, put your ramen away and your and your Cheerios. I'm not doing it.
Speaker 3:No, so that those are my three.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and Kev, I remember, you know, since we're talking Thanksgiving, there was about a four or five year period of time when my mom had her mint chocolate chip ice cream pie, oh, dottie, with the crispy crunch chocolate crust. Ooh, that was so good, it was unbelievable so, and those were great ears with mom bet they were I think the where mom and I went wrong is when she stopped making that for thanksgiving there you go.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's her fault and I remember, you know, because you know you remember, erica's thing is I can make anything. Anybody else makes Uh-huh, and I always told her about that and she found the recipe out there, okay, and she made it and it was perfect.
Speaker 3:Really.
Speaker 2:And I remember I don't know why Erica did this. For some reason she made it when my mom was there, you know, when she was there with uh. She was there, uh, helping with Timmy when Timmy was a baby, and served it to her and I was like, pretty good, mom, she, she, oh, it's okay, oh, yeah, it's okay, and I'm like, no, she fucking nailed it and you can just see it.
Speaker 2:You can just see erica in the corner of the kitchen doing like an end zone dance like terrell owens just scored, of course, and mom it's oh, it's, it's, it's similar, but it's not quite. No, mom, she nailed it it's missing something not yet. No, no, it's every single uh ingredient that you used, in the exact proportions. Yeah, erica used to like to do that. Erica, erica, could I'll give her credit. She can. She can copy anything.
Speaker 3:Oh, she's a hell of a cook.
Speaker 2:She can copy anything yeah. I, as a matter of fact, I was talking to my, my boys, when I was driving them home Dallas and Timmy, I think I cut it was a couple of weeks ago and we were, I was driving them home, uh, dallas and timmy uh I think I cut it was a couple weeks ago and we were. I was telling them about the greatest candy bar ever, the pb max okay and I was hinting at you.
Speaker 2:Know I, your mom, could probably make a pb max. Just hoping that they'll mention it to her where she would make the pb max and then they'll swindle some and bring it over to you yeah, yeah, exactly. They'll sneak some out. They'll smuggle some out, timmy. Why is there a bulge in your pants, running out of the house towards your dad's car?
Speaker 3:there's nothing, mom, if nothing all right uh hey, speaking of kids, uh, I'm very intrigued. On the battle plan, you said audrey has a new job.
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah, yeah um, she put her two weeks notice in as the assistant athletic director uh of texas state sports. Okay, on thursday, and she is going to be the marketing director for the Austin franchise of the new League One Volleyball League. Get out Not kidding, this is a big-time league with big-time volleyball players. A lot of our Olympians who got the silver medal will be playing in this league. They got six teams right now. They got Austin, houston, omaha, madison, salt Lake City I'm forgetting the others, but that's most of them and it's got huge financial backing. Kevin Durant, I believe, is owner or partial owner of the Austin franchise. That Audrey will be the marketing director for.
Speaker 4:How cool.
Speaker 2:And she's so excited about it. It's a dream job for her.
Speaker 3:Oh my God, yeah, that's what she played in college.
Speaker 2:She played volleyball in college and she knows a lot of these players on the Austin team. You know they're smart. What they did is, you know, like the Austin team has a lot of former UT, Of course, Volleyball players, and you know Audrey idolized some of these, you know, when she was a kid growing up and now she's like their marketing director.
Speaker 3:Nice.
Speaker 2:So yeah, it's a perfect gig. Plus, she got a nice little salary pop too Beautiful.

Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean you know the Texas State Athletic Assistant Director job. It was round the clock long hours. You know she lives in Austin, works out of her house and they're a very progressive company.

Speaker 3:Nice.
Speaker 2:So she's really excited about that.
Speaker 3:When is the season? What? What month? January 8th okay through through the end of april and I think they'll get into a playoff, you know until maybe mid-may or so so it sounds to me like the league went to uh cities where the colleges have dominant volleyball programs, because they're already going to have a built-in audience.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, you know Omaha, nebraska. I mean Nebraska has the largest spectators for volleyball matches in history.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:You know. So you know the University of Nebraska team. You know. And then Madison Wisconsin is always baller. And then you know Salt Lake City. Uh, byu is a huge program yeah.
Speaker 2:UT, yeah, ut. And then you know Houston is, is a bastion of uh, you know, some of the greatest volleyball talent in the country comes out of Houston, texas Cav they're right here. Yeah, yeah, yeah, because the club teams, yeah, the club teams are some of the best in the nation, um, including Houston Skyline. Sky Skyline, yeah, who Audrey played for, is constantly ranked either number one or number two in the nation in terms of best club.
Speaker 3:Yeah, they did their homework then.
Speaker 2:So, yeah, they did their homework. And you know, and you know a bunch of nba players, a bunch, a bunch of uh, um, wnba players have put money in. Uh, some hollywood actors and actresses really want to support this thing and make it a big thing. And then espn has picked up the tv rights. Perfect, that's what I said. I told audrey. I said you know, ifpn, if you have TV, a TV deal, this thing can last.
Speaker 3:Well, it's good for her too, because she also has broadcasting experience, because she covered collegiate volleyball right on ESPN.
Speaker 2:Yes, she was a color commentator for college volleyball on ESPN, so if she needs to go that route, she can go that route. Awesome. But yeah, and Kev, you know she, uh, you know told her bosses, uh, you know thursday, friday, and you know they're like hey, what, what, what can we do to keep you?

Speaker 3:So Well, maybe they'll meet again down the road and you know Exactly, you never know what's gonna happen.
Speaker 2:you never do, you never do. But that's it. That's great. She got a great a dream gig and she, she likes, uh, she loves living in austin. And you know now her mom is moving to canyon lake this week. Okay, and uh, you know I'm, I'll probably be somewhere in that vicinity soon, within the next couple of years. I'll probably be there. So in Hill Country.
Speaker 3:Well, congratulations, kiddo. Isn't that great that is phenomenal.
Speaker 2:I just I'm so proud of her, kev. Let's talk about the rabbit holes you and I went into last week. Rabbit hole of the week, all right. So where did you find yourself, just giving up copious amounts of hours to checking into?
Speaker 3:So on the backside of our fence, in our backyard, we have this like area that is completely overgrown and it's an eyesore, and I can't believe that the people that live below us on the hill didn't complain to us immediately when we took possession of the house. But anyway, I went out there and I started to clean it, but I wanted to know what was weed and what wasn't. So I've been studying vegetation identification.
Speaker 2:I thought you were going to say I wanted to know what's weed and what's not. So I called Snoop. Yeah, no, no, hey, red-haired sensimilia, faux shizzle. Yeah, okay, all right. So your ID. And what did you find? Did you find anything?
Speaker 3:interesting. Well, like this one thing that looks like a weed is actually somebody planted it. It's a, it's a, it's a grass and it looks like a big tall wheat thing. So it's like a long stem and at the very end I mean it's like five feet tall and it's it just looks like a big thing of wheat. I was going to pull it, but no, not anymore interesting it's supposed to be there.
Speaker 3:And then we had these things that, uh, they, they look like, uh, rhubarb, it's like a rhubarb tree, and then there's berries on the top of it and uh, yeah, that's a weed.
Speaker 2:So I I cut that thing out, don't eat the berries, oh no, no, not eating any of it there are certain kind of berries that you never want to put in your mouth, including dingle but in, uh, in, in clearing this area, uh, it was masking a bunch of limestone rocks that, uh, they just formed naturally.
Speaker 3:But there are a ton of holes in the ground underneath, and so probably in March I will be doing snake identification, because I guarantee there's a shit ton underneath there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, be careful, you know what you discover. It was about five or six months ago. I'm walking with Dallas and Timmy and we go through that nature area that just has everything. I mean it is mutual of Omaha wild kingdom and Dallas. I don't know how he noticed it, because it was so camouflaged. There was a snake that he almost stepped on and he goes, dad, really slowly walk back with me and I want to show you something. And it kind of stunned me because it was huge and it was just right there and I looked it up later.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And I can't. I can't for the life of me. I can't remember exactly what kind of snake is, but it is a snake that is so fucking poisonous You're talking about instant death. This thing sinks the teeth into you and and fires off the poison shot.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and what did we learn earlier? It's a snake, they bite.
Speaker 2:Exactly.
Speaker 3:That's their job.
Speaker 2:Yeah, as you're lying on the ground, you know breathing your last breath and the snake is rolling up on your chest, you're saying snake, why snake wine?
Speaker 3:They're like really, really, you're going to after everything, after everything you're gonna ask this shit funny.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you're gonna have a good time with that what was your rabbit hole, tetley?
Speaker 2:cab. I don't know how I got into it, but I struggled to get out of it and I I stayed up way too late one night, really hitting it. Have you ever seen where professional musicians will either dress up like a worker or they're dressed up like a homeless person and they'll go to, like you know, public piano in an airport or a mall or something like that and they'll flash play and the unsuspecting public is just like what is this janitor doing? Holy shit, that is perfect. Beethoven moonlight sonata Uh-huh. I've watched probably 30 or 40 of them.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's fun.
Speaker 2:And Kev, I don't know. I don't ever want you to tell anybody this and anybody that's watching this podcast or listening to this podcast, this is Fight Club. Okay, I got teary-eyed for some of it, really, because it was such fucking beautiful music. Yeah, and even though that you know the guy wasn't really homeless, he's dressed up as a homeless person just to get full effect from the public, just to see the public's reaction to the homeless guy going. Oh my god, was was like making me tear up and shit yeah, yeah, I don't know what was wrong with me?
Speaker 2:it's because we are basically a sympathetic society you know no, I know, I would never have done that in the past. I would just be like, oh, that's cool, he's dressed up like a homeless guy. But now, you know, as you get older, you're just like oh my god, moonlight sonata oh yeah, no, the age does have a tendency to do that to you plus, you know, beethoven reminds me of my dad too oh well, there you go 95 of all car rides we had with my dad he's, he had mozart beethoven.
Speaker 3:You know um amadeus you know uh-huh uh, he had them cranked you know, one of the funniest one. This kind of brings up one of the funniest stories I ever heard. When we were working in country music, before he became well-known and before he became very recognizable, blake Shelton went to a karaoke bar in Houston and did one of his own songs and a lady walked up to him and I know this because Brian Anderson and Keith Anderson went with him and a lady walked up to him afterwards and said you know, that's pretty good, but blake shelton does it a lot better that's freaking hilarious.
Speaker 2:Yeah, kev, I, I, I think, and I'm trying to remember I think jewel did the same thing yeah, I wouldn't doubt it.
Speaker 2:She was dressed up incognito, though, okay, you couldn't tell it was her and she's just belted. Who would save yourself or all of her tunes? And this lady looks up afterwards and going, oh my god, you sing that stuff even better than jewel. Plus, I hear she's a bitch. Oh wow, and jewel, you know, jewel, having the sense of humor she has, is like, yeah, I hear she's a bitch too. Yeah, great stuff, all right. Kev fun podcast. Do we have to do anything else? Any other business that we have? I don't think so. No.
Speaker 3:Okay, how are you spending your Thanksgiving?
Speaker 2:Thanksgiving, there is a beautiful young lady. Okay, how are you spending your Thanksgiving? Thanksgiving, there's a beautiful young lady.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 2:Who just moved to the neighborhood about four or five months ago and she doesn't have the opportunity, due to work, to get back home.
Speaker 3:Oh, okay.
Speaker 2:So you know, You're going to let a stranger stay at your house again if she looks like salmahad beautiful I am not the big bad wolf no, he is, he is not.
Speaker 3:No, not at all.
Speaker 2:She said, yeah, that'd be great. So her and I are we're going to watch. We both love football. Oh great and she loves to cook and I love to eat.
Speaker 3:There you go. It's a match made in heaven.
Speaker 2:So it's a good combination. There you go. That's freaking hilarious, uh, kev. Uh, what's coming up on your awesome uh. Other side project, kevin also has another podcast called the fuzzy mike, where he's like one of the top worldwide rated uh, true crime slash mental health. I, I know, I know it's like his niche is true crime and mental health, you know, but he's always been a philosopher, so, yeah, he's able to do that.
Speaker 3:Believe me, they do intersect.
Speaker 2:They do, they do. So what's going on?
Speaker 3:Well, I am putting together the finishing touches on a longer episode. Yeah, last week I just did a quick teaser episode putting the finishing touches on the new one. Yeah, last week I just did a quick teaser episode putting the finishing touches on the new one and, uh, it should be ready to go real soon. All right, by the way, uh, laurel weirs, uh, my therapist listened to our uh podcast and she said she can help you did she really?
Speaker 2:oh, she said, she goes, kevin, she called me, she goes, oh she she probably was like I can't do the one session guarantee for him, though.
Speaker 3:No, she said it would be one session. She said Kevin, she goes. He is exactly the way you were when you came to me she goes. I feel so bad for him. I can clean that up Really. Yep, yep, that's what she said. I'll actually, I'll send you the message.
Speaker 2:Did she give you like a little preview of kind of what she's thinking?
Speaker 3:No, I'll send you the message. I mean, she left me a, she called me and left me a voice message here. I'll play it right here.
Speaker 4:Okay, your friend, we need to talk about him, kevin. It's like when I talked to you it's so, it's right there. Like his issue is so obvious. We've got to integrate the memory of his mom saying I hate you and then integrate the other ones where the other women said it, which those actually probably will fall anyways when we integrate his mom. But like he doesn't need to be triggered by that and he doesn't need to be triggered by that and he doesn't need to live with holding that anymore.
Speaker 4:And like it felt like listening to him was like listening to you in the podcast, when I was like, oh, but it's so easy, like we know exactly what we need to do, so maybe he will reach out to me, like you're the proof he needs to know. But I'm sure it's hard for him to imagine that the same could happen for him, because that's what happens when people have been living in that place for so long. It's really difficult to imagine, honestly, that life can be any other way and you know that full well, but thank you for sending that clip.
Speaker 4:I'm just so honored that you were able to share your healing.
