Ep #44: Trading Laughs and Life Lessons with Tuttle & Kline...Nothing Is Sacred
What do face tattoos, a 20-year stockpile of trash bags, and the NFL's safety rules have in common? They all make their way into the eclectic mix of humor and insight in this episode of Tuttle and Kline.
We start on a whimsical note with a nod to Radiohead's "Creep" and the thrill of live trading during our show. Then, we ponder life's practical and impractical purchases, like the aforementioned lifetime supply of trash bags, and the complex art of distributing them in a will. It's all in good fun, coupled with meaningful reflections on relationships and the oddities of fatherhood, highlighted by the joyous engagement of Tim's daughter, Audrey.
Our camaraderie shines as we share personal insights and quirky observations. There's no shying away from tough topics, like a two-state killing spree, but we balance these with humor and the occasional cheeky anecdote. From the beauty of embracing one's natural gray hair to the reputation of controversial comedians, we explore how humor and authenticity shape our perceptions. The episode also takes a curious turn with a look at face tattoos, reminding us there's more to people than meets the eye.
Feeling the adrenaline of falling dreams, the changing NFL landscape, and a playful exploration of confession and forgiveness—all make their way into our conversation. With laughs and lessons, we reflect on everything from fatherhood and friendship to navigating online discourse. Sharing stories from our own experiences, we appreciate the value of genuine connections and camaraderie, whether it's through backyard grilling or the unspoken bonds of friendship. So, tune in for a hearty serving of life's quirks and joys, with plenty of laughs and a few pearls of wisdom along the way.
Welcome to the Tuttle Kline Show your skin makes me cry. You float like a feather in a beautiful world.
Speaker 4:Christmas is coming early, baby.
Speaker 2:I wish I was special. You're so fucking special, but I'm a creep. Radiohead if you're not familiar with it. I'm a weirdo. What the hell am I doing here?
Speaker 4:Very great band, but very misanthropic.
Speaker 2:I don't belong here.
Speaker 4:You got a workout plan today.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, I'm gonna work out all right. I still got some trading to do, though. Oh, you haven't hit the mark. Have not hit the mark. As a matter of fact, I was a little bit up and then I became a little bit down and I was like, well, I'll take a break and pick it up. Oh okay, yeah, there's, there's two good sessions. It's like an 8.30 to 10.30 session.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And then like a noon to 2.30 session. Okay, so, unless I see a setup really starting to form. Before that, I got it on my left screen here.
Speaker 4:Yeah, you have mentioned that on occasion.
Speaker 2:You look at me.
Speaker 4:On your right screen and then on the left screen, you're monitoring the charts.
Speaker 2:That's right, and I've never taken a trade like when we, you and I, were doing our thing. But you know, that could change someday. I mean, I may be like, hey, kevin, I got, I got pullback here, it's setting up, yeah, ok, but you know that's, that's certainly possible. I could do that. I don't know if I will.
Speaker 4:Though and put it on pause and, you know, edit it or and end the episode, either way no, I can do, I will.
Speaker 2:I'd actually like to do it live while I'm on with you. Oh wow, it doesn't take too long that would be.
Speaker 2:Uh, that'd be a rush for all of us yeah, I'm sure, I'm sure that people will be like oh yeah, I watched Tuttle take a trade today in the Nasdaq 100. Boy, that fucking was thrilling. Honey, cancel our vacation, we don't need it anymore. Hey, kev, yeah, this is. This has come up in the past, just like the thought process of it, but now I'm really fully like, immersed in the past. Just like the thought process of it, but now I'm really fully immersed in the concept. I am no longer going to buy in bulk anymore. I'm done.
Speaker 4:Oh, like the big Costco's and Sam's Club, no more, huh yeah.
Speaker 2:I'm not doing it anymore.
Speaker 4:Why? What happened?
Speaker 2:I thought that was the most economic way to go it is, but you know, I am not sure that I could outlive all the trash bags that I purchased last week.
Speaker 4:A lot of them. You know me, I'm a math guy. I know that's what surprises me when I hear this.
Speaker 2:And I got a huge container of one thousand kitchen trash bags. Okay, and I was thinking about it as I was putting them away when I unloaded the vehicle and I was like, wait a minute, let me do my Tim math here real quick. I go through approximately one trash bag per week. 1,000 weeks, that's 1,000 weeks, that's just shy of 20 years.
Speaker 4:It's possible, it's very possible. That's just shy of 20 years. It's possible.
Speaker 2:It's very possible it's not a hundred percent though no well, tomorrow's not a hundred percent and then you know why it's it's now. Even you know tomorrow is 99.9. Yeah, you know, I'm cool with tomorrow, I'm cool with a month from now. You know that's still in the 99s somewhere. But you start talking 20 years for a Gen Xer, and that's what we are, we're Gen Xers. You start going hmm, that's maybe 70, 75%. Now.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah, probably so, am I right? You would take those odds, though, wouldn't you?
Speaker 2:I don't know. See, then you want to be cost effective. You know it was like a half a penny per bag. It made me not even that, but if you're giving away so many bags on the back end, you didn't properly save your money, Right? Speaking of which, Kev, I want you to know this because you know you're slightly younger than me and will likely outlive me. I want to make sure that these bags are split evenly among my kids, Okay?
Speaker 4:So I'm now the executor of the trash bag will? Yes, are you okay with that?
Speaker 2:with that awesome, a lot of pressure there and speaking of that, I, you know, I um, you know I'm, I'm single guy now, uh-huh, so I don't, I don't have um a sig other.
Speaker 4:You know a serious sig other right, I'm hoping we get an update.
Speaker 2:I, yeah, I mean we'll talk about that later, but I, you know I've assigned Audrey all of the hey. You got two life insurance policies and you got this and that she's got like instruction email on what to do if I'm ever gone. And you know she, you know her being Audrey, she's sensitive about that, doesn't want to. You know she didn't like it, you know, but she's the one and uh, I had, uh, you know, one of the neighbors I I've been bonding with a little bit. He goes, he goes. Aren't you worried about, you know, one of your kids, maybe you know withholding from the other or anything like that. I'm like Audrey.
Speaker 4:Yeah right.
Speaker 2:There is no other human being on this planet that you can trust more than her.
Speaker 4:She wouldn't even be able to live with herself if Timmy got one less trash bag than everybody else, and that is true.
Speaker 2:Yeah, if she realized that she would drive from Austin to Houston and say, timmy, here's the bag. I'm so sorry I could not sleep last night. I just found out we shorted you one bag. She is that conscientious? Yes, she has been. Yeah, yeah, so, uh, in regards to your question about uh, I don't even know how I would call it. I could call her uh fwb with uh, maybe some other you know privileges okay, privileges Okay FWB, friend with benefits, with some potential.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean I'm not giving her a fucking key to my place or anything yet, Sure.
Speaker 4:Yeah, but when last we left off there was the hint of you meeting the parents.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and she watched the episode Kev and she said I don't want to ruin it because I like you. She goes, I like you. Uh-huh she said, if that, she said I don't want to ruin it because I like you, she goes. I like you, which is good, that she used ike instead of ove and uh, you know she goes. I don't want to pressure you or make you feel like I just brought it up so she kind of felt bad and whatever. I'm like, hey, we were just.
Speaker 2:You know, kevin and I, we just like to riff on stuff yeah, just kidding around just kidding maybe 10 chance of being real yeah, there's always a kernel of truth in there, a little kernel of fucking truth in there. That's right. So yeah, she goes. Hey, just if it happens it happens. If it's not, it's no big deal. So I like that. That she like kind of, because you know, when you ask more than once now you're kind of you know you're pushing for an answer and it may not be an answer you want to hear.
Speaker 4:Yeah, no, very true, very true yeah.
Speaker 2:And if you know my policy, my policy is if you go asking for the truth, I will give it to you, no matter what.
Speaker 4:Whether you can handle it or not.
Speaker 2:Exactly so. She was like nibbling around of getting the truth, and she got a kernel of it by listening to the Tuttle Cline podcast.
Speaker 4:Well, it just brings up an idea that if you're ever presented with an uncomfortable question and you don't really know how to answer it, we can do an impromptu, very quick Tuttle Clime podcast episode and we can get your answer out there in a rather humorous way.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, absolutely. Feel free. I mean, obviously, we know if you're listening to our podcast. We know already that you've subscribed, you've given us a rating, you download our episode automatically from whatever your podcast platform is all that stuff. Feel free. In the comments section on Tuttle Cline Facebook, on our Tuttle Cline Instagram or even on YouTube, any issue or conundrum that you may be facing in your life that you would like to you know have addressed by the panel of Tim Tuttle and Kevin Cline. Now, yes, there is a lot of goofiness involved, but there is some wisdom there. If you listen close enough, you might learn something. Okay, hey, hey, hey. If you listen close enough, you might learn something. Okay, hey.
Speaker 4:Hey hey, bill Cosby, pat Albert, there is a lot of reading between the lines, but once you read between the lines, there's your answer. There's some nuggets.
Speaker 2:That's right, kevin and I drop golden nuggets throughout our podcast episodes that could give you absolutely a way of know, a way of living life which is better than the way you're living it now. Yeah, very true.
Speaker 4:Very true.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Okay, I really believe that you get that point in the wisdom. You know the, the, the grays that you see in our beard are well-earned grays.
Speaker 4:Indeed.
Speaker 2:I, I earned every single one of them. Like, like, like. Um, fwb was uh, was asking me she goes have you ever colored it? You ever. I was like why do you like it? She goes no, I like it. I was just wondering if you ever have.
Speaker 4:I'm like fuck, no man, I earned these yeah, I, I had a client that uh was uh a beard coloring and and it just looked dumb, it looked ridiculous.
Speaker 2:I think it looks silly too, Just accept it. There's no need to do plastic surgery. Just accept who you are. I mean each of you and I know this is going to sound freaking weird right now coming from me but each of you have your own beauty in your own way.
Speaker 2:Very true yeah freaking weird right now coming from me, but each of you have your own beauty in your own way, very true, yeah, you know, like, like Kev, I, when I, when I you know, you know walk to the clubhouse to get an espresso, or I'm walking to the mailbox or whatever, I'll often see this, this lady pass me by and she's, you know, a little heavier set and you know she's a little conscientious, but she has the most warm smile and kind eyes I've ever seen and I just it is a joy to pass her by. Yeah, and I know she's conscientious of her weight, you know, because I've heard her out at the pool in the summer, you know, talking to her, See, having the pole position on the pool. I mean, Kev, I'm 25 feet from the pool. Oh, wow, I hear everything.
Speaker 4:Uh-huh.
Speaker 2:I hear it all and I've heard that she's conscientious about it or whatever, and I just I wanted to just walk out there and go. Are you aware of your smile? Yeah, but you know I didn't, because you know then she'd be knocking on my fucking door. Yeah, looking for the booty call at two in the morning.
Speaker 4:You know, isn't that the sad part about? Really? It's the sad part about what we live in now. I love complimenting people, especially women, when I'm at the checkout line or something like that. Trish thinks it's creepy. Whenever I comment on somebody's nails, I'm like, oh, you have festive nails today. Oh, look at your nails. If they're going to go through the trouble of doing that, don't they want to get recognized?
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, I don't think there's anything wrong with that at all, but if you make your wife uncomfortable doing it, you shouldn't do it.
Speaker 4:No, no, I don't make her uncomfortable, she's just like that. Do you realize? They could think you're creepy for doing that? I'm like well, I know I'm creepy, but that's the least thing I'm trying to do. I'm trying to give somebody a compliment and make them feel good about themselves.
Speaker 2:It's like Trish, we've been together 30 years. Look at me. I'm central casting for serial killer and pedophile.
Speaker 4:I'm central casting for serial killer and pedophile and I'll be pissed if I don't get it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I want the job.
Speaker 4:I'm waiting for Tarantino to call on his 10th project and go hey, kev, I got a pedophile part, sign me up, sign me up. We're kind of talking about face stuff. This brings me to. It leads me anyway, to a news story that I saw, that I don't know if you saw that I'd like to catch you up on. And then it leads me into a be honest for you.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, let's do this then, just to remind people I'm. I don't have social media anymore my own. I still do a little work on the Tuttle and Klein Instagram and Facebook, but since I'm almost completely off the grid now, kline reminds me on a weekly basis of the stuff that happened in the previous week that he thinks I may want to know or should know. So what do you got, bubba?
Speaker 4:Okay. So there's this guy. He's 32 years old, his name is Christopher McDowell and he was originally from Texas. He got a hundred years in prison sentence this past week from a Nevada judge. He and his brother and his girlfriend went on a two-state killing spree Okay, and he got a hundred years, so without the possibility of parole. So he's got. I'm going to put a picture of him up. Here's Chris right here. What a lovely and upstanding looking human being. He's got face tattoos all over the place. He started to do the skeleton, as you can see right there he's got a cross in his forehead.
Speaker 2:Well, who saw this coming with him? Huh.
Speaker 4:That was a lot of the comments. Gee, what an upstanding looking young man.
Speaker 2:I mean, you just know. I mean, if your kid gets this tattoo set up right here, it's your job as a parent to go. Hey, hey, little Billy Bob, let's have a chat. I just, I just want, I just want to check shit, you know, and just want to, just want to do a head check here real quick.
Speaker 4:Yeah, so he had a lengthy rap sheet up until this crime spree. Uh, here's the thing. This happened in 2020. He just got his sentence this past week. Four years later, his brother and his girlfriend still have not had their court date. What takes so?
Speaker 2:long Kev again. First off, he's had a lengthy rap sheet Criminal record yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, again, and I've spoken about this on occasion and I'll remind you, the justice system is there to create chaos, to grease the wheels of their system with the blood of innocent Americans, and I'm hoping very, very soon that many of them are held accountable for their actions, because they release violent criminals upon an innocent society. And then these fucking assholes want to disarm us too. Fuck you. Yeah, you want to release criminals, violent criminals, and you want to take my guns. Fuck you go ahead.
Speaker 4:It leads me to my be honest for you be honest be honest you've seen the picture of christopher here with all the face tattoos. What is your immediate thought when you see somebody with a face tattoo?
Speaker 2:um, I just, I just see somebody that just may need one hug okay you know, that's that one, just special hug from somebody. Obviously they didn't get it up to that point. Um, you know, getting deciding, hey, I'm gonna ruin my face for the rest of my life, but maybe it's not too late. If just somebody would just have the balls to walk up to him and just say, hey, man, come here, bring it in here, motherfucker.
Speaker 4:I was trying to think of people that have face tattoos who aren't criminals. Only one I could come up with, I think, is Post Malone.
Speaker 2:Post Malone. Yeah, post Malone, jelly Roll Is Jelly Roll in it, doesn't he have the face tattoos?
Speaker 4:Yeah, but I thought he was a criminal. I thought he got busted for drugs.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay, well, I don't, I don't know, I don't know, I mean, see, but but it it goes to show right there through jelly roll that you can turn it around. Oh yeah, you know this fellow right here. He didn't have to go on the multi-state crime spray. No, he could have just had somebody, just you know, and it could have been anybody. Just walk up to him and just go hey, bring it in here. I know, I want to make, I want to make the pain go away, bring it in here Now.
Speaker 2:granted, it's a risky move. That's what I'm laughing about. It's a risky. I mean, you'd want to be a bigger dude, to be the bring it in here guy.
Speaker 4:I know exactly what you're saying.
Speaker 2:Okay, kev, I gotta be honest for you. Okay, since we tangented off there and we'll bring it back to things I ought to know Um, am I the only one that does this, or do you? Do you do this too? Do you do you ever try to like induce dreams of falling so you could have an adrenaline rush, so you could like wake up in that with that zing?
Speaker 4:Yeah, no, you're the only one that does that. Out of us too, I don't do that.
Speaker 2:I love it. I love as I'm, you know, approaching knockout, approaching the time travel, you know, just about, just lucid and about to go. I like to go. Okay, let's go near some cliffs.
Speaker 4:You know me well enough that I get vertigo by proxy. If you got too close to a cliff, I'm thinking I'm going off too.
Speaker 2:Vertigo by proxy.
Speaker 4:Remember how I used to freak out with the window washers? Yeah, you got vertigo by proxy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so yeah, no I don't do that we used to uh broadcast from the 23rd floor, um, in the galleria one of the post oak three that you see right down the street from galleria across from magianos, and they had the window washers would would come around, maybe once every six weeks, eight weeks or something like that, and and at that point you would see Kevin Klein literally shut down and I would have to talk him off the ledge. Pardon the pun.
Speaker 4:Yeah, until they were out of sight.
Speaker 2:Until they're outside. I was like dude, they're fine, they're trained. You see, see that one right there, see that, see that harness calf, even if he, he's not going anywhere.
Speaker 4:No, I got to. I got gotta believe that it's one of the safer jobs out there, even though it could be potentially dangerous, because you don't really ever hear about window washers dying unlike most other jobs, they take extraordinary safety precautions.
Speaker 2:Yeah, extraordinary. See, that's the thing you got to remember about. You know, quote, unquote, dangerous jobs, or you know, dangerous activities are the people who engage in them go through a huge checklist to make sure they're safe.
Speaker 4:Oh yeah, my friend Bridget Riley, who was a stunt woman in Hollywood. She said the amount of safety that goes into even the most rudimentary stunt, she said it would blow your mind.
Speaker 2:Oh, I'd imagine. Yeah, I'd imagine like if you have like a bar scene where there's a fight, like a bar fight, that every single motion is rehearsed and practiced ad nauseum before the director actually says action.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah. I mean, the only time that it's ever in jeopardy on a on a set is if Alec Baldwin's around. Yeah, yeah, every other movie you're good.
Speaker 2:And the stunt coordinators know that too.
Speaker 4:Oh yeah, they do.
Speaker 2:Cause they'll, they, you know they'll, they'll hear from the, the production company, and you know when they're getting hired, and they'll be like okay, let me see those stunts, those 17 stunts. Here's what, here's what it'll cost you. Oh, I see the cast list. You have alec one that ever, uh, wishes that they were falling off a clip in a dream? I don't I, yeah, I kev, I just, I, I love, I just love that feeling of falling in dreams.
Speaker 4:I just love it so much like you just enjoy the feeling because you love to skydive yeah, I mean I just, I just I love it.
Speaker 2:I mean I, one of the most satisfying things for me is waking up with that zing, you know, the electric jolt oh yeah, no, I get it you know, yeah, you know, and for those of you watching on youtube, you'll see this. For those you're not, I mean kev, it's this right here yeah, you know, yeah, like you've just been tased yeah, like you've been tased, I love that feeling. Uh-, uh-huh I know you do. It's the best. It's an adrenaline rush. Okay, what else is happening in the world that I need to know about?
Speaker 4:Yeah, we were talking about lawyers just a little while ago. I just read this this morning. Did not know. The lead attorney for P Diddy is married to the now lead attorney for Luigi Mangione, the CEO of suspected killer. They're married, no way, yeah. So yeah, they're going to be rich this year or in 2025, but probably not a good winning percentage.
Speaker 2:No, no, it doesn't matter Exactly. I know Kev, I know some traders and we'll get back to the futures trading. They win on maybe 30% of their trades and make millions of dollars.
Speaker 4:Yeah, because their wins are larger than their losses.
Speaker 2:They're able to hold it forever. Nice, you know, they get in at the absolute bottom or they get out at the absolute top or sell at the absolute top, and then they just hold it.
Speaker 4:Wow, good for them. Yeah, anyway, go ahead. Yeah, I just found it interesting that they're married and they're gonna probably have the two highest profile cases of 2025 so yeah, that'll be interesting yeah, no, I get people get married, but it just was weird that they found each other.
Speaker 2:Uh, the other thing is well, kev you know, a snake will find another snake, because they slither in the same areas.
Speaker 4:Well, she used to be a prosecutor for Manhattan District Attorney and now she is a defense attorney. Yeah, yeah, by the way.
Speaker 2:They slither, they all slither together at the slither bars.
Speaker 4:By the way, gofundme has taken down the Luigi Mangione defense fund that somebody started. You can't, they don't want to be associated with that, but there is a, uh non-profit organization that you can donate to that would donate to his, his defense fund.
Speaker 2:I can't remember the name of it, but yeah yeah, kevin, you know you could tell the the pain that's out there and how insurance companies have been fucking people over by the fact that they even had to do that. Yeah, right, and I know you know I noticed. In my email this morning, kev, I got a survey from that exact company, insurance company.
Speaker 4:Oh really.
Speaker 2:You know asking hey, how we doing yeah. Yeah, now, oh, now, you want to know how we doing yeah, yeah, now, oh, now. You want to know.
Speaker 4:Right, exactly yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you've got a. You've got a. What is it? A 34% fuck you rate or a 34% approval?
Speaker 3:rate.
Speaker 2:Yeah, denial rate You're. And now you want to say, hey, are we making too many of you pissed off?
Speaker 4:Yeah, exactly. Uh, this was an interesting story. I kind of want your take on this. Uh, last week, uh, it was revealed that uh only fans influencer lily phillips, who's from britain, uh slept with 101 guys in 24 hours and in january late january, early february she's going to go for the world record of 1,024 hours.
Speaker 2:Well, good for her Right. Aim high. Yeah, any quote from dad on how he's feeling?
Speaker 4:No, no quote from mom or dad on this one, but her quote was that she was. I can't remember the name, the word that she said, but basically she said I was whoring around in college, so I figured I might as well make money off of it.
Speaker 2:Well, there you go. All right, quote unquote. If I'm a whore, I might as well benefit America.
Speaker 4:Yeah, right, but here's the thing she did 101 men in 14 hours and said that she was just completely drained. She was crying on camera. They made a documentary out of it, by the way. Yeah, and she was crying on camera, you know, and all that stuff. And she in the next breath goes. But I'm going to set the world record 1,000.
Speaker 2:All right. Has anybody done a head check on her William H Macy Boogie Nights boyfriend and make sure he's OK?
Speaker 4:I don't know if she has a boyfriend. Ok, yeah.
Speaker 2:You can imagine how awkward some of those conversations are.
Speaker 4:But the woman who currently holds the record at 962, her name is Houston. Yeah, she said it was the biggest regret of her life. In all of the things that she accomplished in porn. It was the biggest regret of her life and she would caution. Yeah, exactly right, of all the things.
Speaker 2:What was, what was her accomplishment in porn that she wants to hang her hat on?
Speaker 4:Perhaps an AVN award or something, I'm not quite sure.
Speaker 2:Oh gotcha, ok, all right. She wants to hang her hat on I took three in the eye at the same time and I kept going and that, would you know, that was a great moment, historic wow, wow, yeah, but yeah, so, uh, it's something to look forward to in 2025 if you're a fan of Lily Phillips.
Speaker 4:And then Chris Rock hosted Saturday Night Live.
Speaker 2:How was Chris Rock? Was it good?
Speaker 4:I read the monologue. I didn't watch the monologue, but just, you know, people just can't appreciate comedy. You know they're jokes. Chris Rock is supposed to go up and say jokes, okay.
Speaker 2:Again, if you are such a weak human being that somebody else's words offend you or take you out of your game, you probably should just stay in the closet, cover your ears and don't even listen to anyone or anything. And yeah, you're a pussy, flat out you. You are a weak human being. Oh my god, words come on.
Speaker 4:Yeah, it was basically a lot of it was political. Uh, he was basically talking about, um, uh, our country, uh, he said do you know our country? It was basically founded by rapists and racists, and and he said so you know what he goes. You would not believe the amount of rapists that I have in my wallet right now, basically on our dollar bills and all that stuff. He said and President Trump, he wants to change, he wants to make my coffee seven rapists. He wants to knock it down to three rapists. What's wrong with that?
Speaker 4:it's a joke yeah and people are up in arms about that people are of course.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm such a loser with nothing going on in my life that I gotta lash out on chris rock for words.
Speaker 4:What a loser so anyway, that's uh, don't listen just don't listen, don't, don't watch, don't listen.
Speaker 2:If comedy is is so traumatic to you, don't listen to it, don't watch it. But don't be the the fucker who's like, well, I'm gonna stop everybody else from watching it, fuck you. I'm sorry, kev, we wanted to. I thought we wanted to do a christmas type.
Speaker 4:Oh yeah, right, yeah, from here on out what, what else, what else uh, that's about it, you know. Then you have the uh, uh.
Speaker 2:I want to say three quarters of uh of the NFL playoff picture has come into focus now yeah, the, the NFL uh is is winding it down and you know, I um Ke, I um Kev, I, I. I was what little I did see and hear about on social media Occasionally. I'll just flip through uh Twitter X. Yeah, and I guess the Texans now getting a very bad reputation.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, For for hard hits, dangerous hits that they hit on uh Trevor Lawrence a few weeks ago, yeah, and then um the hit uh that what is it grant uh? Dubose, dubose dubose, took right, he was. He was green bay packer last year. He was one of my packers last year. But what's the latest on him? Is he okay, uh?
Speaker 4:he's improving. Uh, he is still in a houston hospital. Uh took a hit, uh and uh was stretchered off. They actually had to cut his helmet off, put him in a neck brace, cut his Jersey and pads off, uh, and then take him to the hospital for evaluation. Uh, but uh, they say he's stable and improving, which is great news.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and I you know and I noticed, uh, you know that everybody wants to call out the Texans and they want the NFL now to take away some victories that they're so such a dirty team now. First off in terms of those hits, yeah, the Trevor Lawrence was a little much, but that's nothing in comparison to what we saw, kev, when we were little kids in the 70s and 80s and into the 90s on how football was that's nothing.
Speaker 4:When we were kids growing up, tacklers could leave their feet, Tacklers could lead with their head, with the crown of the helmet. Yeah, it's a much safer game right now. But let me tell you something and if I can find it, I'll put it up right here. It was in the SEC championship game with Texas going up against Georgia, and it was very, very late in the game and Georgia's second string quarterback was in there. It was one of the most violent hits I've seen in recent memory and the quarterback bounced up and there was a flag thrown, but they picked it up because they realized that it was a clean hit. It looked violent as hell, yeah, but it was a clean hit. It looked violent as hell, but it was a clean hit. And, uh, you know it's, it's a violent sport.
Speaker 2:It is what it is and everybody that plays it knows it going in. Yeah.
Speaker 4:You don't want to see somebody get decapitated, you don't want to see somebody get injured, but it is part of the game.
Speaker 2:And for those of you that are bent out of shape about the grant dubose hit uh, you don't know anything about football, because that that right there and he knows it too and he even apologized uh afterwards, felt bad about it to a, hung him out to drive his quarterback, hung him out to dry. You can't, you can't do that. You can't throw that pass and expect your receiver to be okay well, I I didn't see the play.
Speaker 4:Was it across the middle, was it?
Speaker 2:Oh yeah. Yeah, it was Kev. It was one of those where you are spoken to as a quarterback since, like one of the first times you ever get under center and play quarterback and you're passing the ball is, what they will tell you is not to throw that pass.
Speaker 4:Yeah, any over the middle route is a dangerous route for a receiver.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but yeah, you know, if you have the proper separation and things look right right there. But you basically do a. Basically by throwing that pass right there was saying I'm going to have my guy run into the lion's cage right now with a bunch of T-bones strapped around him. That's exactly what happened there.
Speaker 4:You cannot throw that pass. Well, you bring up the word lions. They got beat yesterday at home against the Buffalo Bills, but even more so, they lost two more defensive players to injury. Yeah, how are they going to compete?
Speaker 2:two more defensive players to injury. Yeah, how are they going to compete, kevin? Fortunately, there are some really good football players out there. Yeah, that's something that I've noticed is the ranks are not as thin as they were like when we were growing up. It's just next man up now.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's, very true so you know, even there are guys on. Yeah, let me, let me, let me throw it out here if you took the best guys on all 32 teams practice squad, I, I still think that that is a 5 and 12 team in the NFL. Wow, okay, I really do. That's how tight and how much parity, how much tight that we are in talent. How much parity is out there right now.
Speaker 4:Oh yeah, you talk about parity. I mean, I thought that this past weekend in the NFL was one that kind of stayed true to Hoyle, where I think everybody that was expected to win won. There weren't any upsets, but yeah, I mean, from week in and week out you can count on at least something to scratch your head over.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, yeah, I mean, that's part of the drama, part of the fun. Kev, I hinted at this last week with you and I promised that we would cover it. There are some people that reached out to me and very intrigued by it. Yes, I did go to confession a couple of weeks ago for the first time since the Reagan administration.
Speaker 4:OK for those of you who aren't Catholic, confession is that you go you can either do it face to face or you can do it with a curtain, and you basically confess your sins to the priest, who has the ultimate power to absolve you from those sins after he gives you a penance, which is usually three Our Fathers, three Hail Marys and three Glory Bees.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and let me just say right out of the onset here Kath, it was a very young priest Okay, which is very surprising these days in age.
Speaker 2:Late 20s, early young priest Okay, which is very surprising these days in age Late twenties, early thirties, wow and I could tell that this is this was like definitely his longest ever confession session. It was a. It was a whopping 27 minutes. Oh my gosh, I don't know how it got that deep. I just it's kind of like our podcast Kev we just get going and then boom, suddenly it's an hour you know, bless me, father, for I have sinned.
Speaker 4:It's been well since you were born. My last confession.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I can't. There seemed to be a little surprise in that whole thing with him, uh huh. And I'm pretty sure he may be getting out of the God business After 27 minutes with me and I only told him maybe 30% of the naughty, oh wow, and he still seemed a little taken back.
Speaker 4:Well, you got to figure what 30 years of sin. That's not going to be cleared up in a 30-second conversation.
Speaker 2:Well, that's what I said from the onset. I told him. I said you know, this is the first time in decades. And I said you know, if you just want a quick tertiary, you know, hey, bless you, I'm cool with that. And he goes well, no, you should have a proper confession. So I said, all right, here we go. You strapped in.
Speaker 4:Was he enthusiastic about you returning to the church after so long? Because that's what I would have said.
Speaker 2:No, you know, I've been to church in the past 30 years. Yeah, but I mean, but getting into one of the sacraments, Well, initially there may be some of that, but it quickly wore off.
Speaker 4:Oh, he's one of those Timmy T and doses huh.
Speaker 3:Yeah small.
Speaker 2:You know how it is. Yeah, that's it. I'm great Again. I'm great in small doses, but eventually him, like you know, all of my exes are. They're looking at their fucking watch.
Speaker 4:Look, even if the most forgiving of forgiving has Timmy on a timer, maybe there's some truth to it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and in all fairness, I mean I didn't. I didn't go that deep, I mean the deepest that I ever went, where I maybe felt a little discomfort from him. Where it was when I told him. You know, my ex Taryn and I we were in church back in 2021. And during mass we were whispering to each other that we wanted to go in the back vestibule there and and get it on.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And I think he was a little surprised by that.
Speaker 4:But that's not a sin if you didn't do it.
Speaker 2:No, no, but you know I told him that's probably a sin talking about it though, right?
Speaker 4:I don't think so.
Speaker 2:I didn't write the book, but we're at mass and we're still in that new relationship thing and okay, all right, yeah, anyway, I mean regardless, I kev, I he um hey hey, remember the the priest.
Speaker 4:All they want you to do is come together, so you were just, you know, willing to do it yeah, and you know, when it's all said and done, he wiped me clean with this whole little thing.
Speaker 2:There you go and I yeah I, knowing that I'd only given him, you know, 30% of the goods I was hinting at hey, can you just like kind of absolve me of this stuff? I really didn't have time to, nor you probably would be interested in here. Can you go ahead and bleach that too, can you? That's why I was hitting that and I, I, at that point, I, I thought to myself oh my God, the way he was reacting and everything. I. He probably thinks like I'm a murderer or something.
Speaker 2:I killed somebody, I was thinking yeah, and I, you know, I it wasn't any of that. I mean, you know I would nothing like, you know, felonious or anything like well, nothing violent.
Speaker 4:There you go.
Speaker 2:There may be a felony here and there, but what's? A?
Speaker 4:couple felonies over decades between a couple friends right. Does your Catholic insurance provider cover a follow-up visit?
Speaker 2:Did he book you one? No, no, no no a follow-up visit. Did he book you one? No, no, no. I did go ahead and take the liberty of just saying, hey man. I could go into details on the rest of it, but for the most part you could probably gather it was consensual depravity. That's all it was. That's it. That's all it was. That's it. That's all you know. It was nothing.
Speaker 4:There's no bodies anywhere or anything like that.
Speaker 2:So after you went to confession, he immediately had to go to confession yeah, I'd imagine he spoke to them on senior that evening, maybe even phoned up a bishop or two perhaps. But yeah, here's the thing, and I, you know, I want to know your feelings about it. I made him laugh a lot. That's fantastic. Is that automatic heaven? Yeah, if you make a priest laugh during confession, that's got to be automatic. Salvation to me? I mean right, I think so. I think there's a spot for me. Salvation to me, I mean right, I think so. I think there's a spot for me. Now, I really do. I mean because I think that that this is the way I'm looking at it. I think that that eventually, you know that God will probably get some heat if he lets me in. You know you'll get. You'll get Peter and and and Paul, and you know you know John the.
Speaker 2:Baptist, and you know some of the, some of the high rollers. So some of the whales, the heaven whales, they'll probably be going Tim Tuttle, yahweh, what's going on, man? What's what's happening there? That's, he's like hey, the dude, the dude, the dude the dude had me in stitches, man, we were rolling. Ask, jesus, we were rolling right?
Speaker 4:yeah, I mean he's the ultimate partner, right? So I mean, you know, I've never.
Speaker 2:I've never done anything like so soul-sucking heinous I'm again. My thing is consensual depravity.
Speaker 4:That's who I am yeah, and it was consensual consensual, exactly that's the key word.
Speaker 2:You know, nobody's getting depravity against their will. You know, I'm not diddy. Yeah, I'm not lebron james, I'm not jay-z. You know I'm not LeBron James, I'm not Jay-Z. You know I'm not Bill Clinton here. I'm not Epstein, I'm not Epstein. This is, you know, consensual.
Speaker 4:Okay, yeah yeah, so you feel better, feel good.
Speaker 2:Kev. I feel a giant weight lifted going into the Christmas holiday and I just feel great. I have. You know, I have a little strut in my step, I have a little pop in the step there, a little pep, nice. So I'm feeling good about things.
Speaker 4:Oh, that's great buddy.
Speaker 2:Until until I had this chat with my neighbor a couple of days ago, different neighbor or FWB. No, no, this is me and a black dude. This guy's the greatest man. He's just a great person. We've really bonded.
Speaker 4:Is that Oscar?
Speaker 2:It's not Oscar, oh okay. It's another Oscar's. He's the one from Africa Right. This is a homegrown American black dude. Okay.
Speaker 2:And he, he is just the coolest. I mean, he's just very laid back mellow dude and, um, you know he'll tell me about anything we'll get. You know we'll talk and stuff like that. And you know sometimes, um, you know we'll we'll be at the grills right there. I'll be, you know, dropping my six huge chicken breasts for my field prep and he'll be slow cooking some ribs or something like that and we'll have a beer or whatever. Sometimes I'll bring a beer out to him. Sometimes he's got his cooler out there already and he was telling me, you know, when we got together a few days ago, that that his son, who's in high school, like 16 years old, is now dating a white girl. Oh, and I guess he could tell by my disappointed look that I was not happy about that.
Speaker 4:What you were disappointed.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean, it's not you, kev, you know me, it's not because mean we're generation x, we're not baby boomers. That's not how we think exactly that's why I was. I can't wait to find out the disappointment I am not happy about black dudes dating white girls, because I'm concerned about the future of sports yeah, they're watering down the talent pool again yeah yeah I mean his son is, you know, a 16 year old, very strong athlete.
Speaker 2:You know track and field football, all of that stuff, and I just don't some good wide receiver stock into a punter Right Valid. I mean, if I could do this real quick as a public service message, if I could use our podcast for that. Black guys everywhere, please listen to me. Don't limit your offspring to being a walk-on. When you can churn out a Heisman Trophy winner, yeah Right, I mean there is no reason to pipe your D1 jizz into a D3 womb, oh God.
Speaker 4:Think about your family, think about the future.
Speaker 2:Exactly, we got enough fucking kickers we need. We need like like, uh, you know, six foot five, 275 pound edges that can run a four or five 40, that's what we need yeah.
Speaker 4:And speaking of punchers, they're kind of falling by the wayside. It's like the most useless job in america because everybody's going for it on fourth down now.
Speaker 2:Well, yeah, but you know, outside of vice president I would say you're right, it is pretty useful now because everybody goes for it. On fourth down yeah, they do. That's why every punter now is also the holder.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 2:It's like the coach is like hey man, you haven't played since week three.
Speaker 4:You've got to earn your living.
Speaker 2:I mean you're making $784,000 a year. I mean we're going to have you hold the kicks. All right, yeah, and get these towels out of here. Fucker Am I right, you are.
Speaker 2:Okay, all right. Yeah, my neighbor, when I, when I was giving him the take, like that, he was like, oh, that's hilarious man, that's so funny. And then he was like thinking about it for a second, going yeah, she's, she's a pretty white girl, but is Tuttle right here Because his son is really good? Yeah, his son is you know, he's one of those that you know Friday Night Lights. Oh, wow, as a sophomore played varsity on a 6A squad or 5A, 5a or 6A.
Speaker 4:Phenomenal.
Speaker 2:That's what I was telling him. I was like, hey, dude, you know you keep piping into the 401K and you're going to have to continue to pipe into the 401K because your son seems to be making some poor decisions about girlfriends. And you know, initially he's laughing about it's laughing about it, but I could see, you know him eventually going. You know the light bulb going off, that's right he's like I do like her. She's got a great sense of humor, but you're right, that could be limiting, yeah yeah, on the road.
Speaker 4:All right, kev, why don't we do one of you?
Speaker 2:uh, why don't we do your top three? What is your top three this week? Just when you thought they couldn't your. Why don't we do your top three? What is your top three this week?
Speaker 1:Just when you thought they couldn't count any higher. It's Tuttle Kline's top three.
Speaker 4:So this is the last broadcast for Tuttle Kline podcast of 2024. So I want to reflect on 2024. What were the top three best or worst things that happened to you this year?
Speaker 2:that happened to you this year. Oh well, you know, worst thing is my run-in with a federal agency that has three letters.
Speaker 4:Not for violent crime.
Speaker 2:No, not for violent crime.
Speaker 4:Not that one.
Speaker 2:Just a little misunderstanding we had.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:That has since been alleviated very good and uh, yeah, that, uh, you know, I want to thank the, uh, the legal work of my counsel, who, uh, who, righted that wrong and misunderstanding. Now, the only thing about it, though, is he may actually be more expensive than this alphabet organization. Oh shit, great, I didn't. I didn't realize until I got the bill cap.
Speaker 2:Wow yeah, that is like I was like how many hours did you work, man? Because what I'm thinking you did is you made one or two phone calls and you know that's right. Anyway, it is what it is. That was a that. That was a rough patch, but uh, hey, all good, Now everything's cool. Awesome, Uh Kev this. We launched this podcast in 2024. This has been a blast.
Speaker 4:Yes, sir.
Speaker 2:Yeah, really good time. So you know, that's one of the positive things, without a doubt. Um, and then, after that Kev, I would just, I would have to say just my kids being healthy, happy and, you know, upwardly, upwardly mobile.
Speaker 4:Uh huh.
Speaker 2:It has been very satisfying to see during twenty twenty four.
Speaker 4:Anything special happen with any of your kids lately?
Speaker 3:Ha, ha ha.
Speaker 2:I thought. I thought you were going to bring this up. Yes, you found out. Huh Trish told me yeah, my daughter, audrey, is now engaged, that's awesome, that is fantastic. Yeah, he spoke with me during Thanksgiving. Brandon did to ask the official permission.
Speaker 4:Oh, that's so cool.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I asked permission to, to, to to marry my daughter. And I told him you know, what I've said here on the podcast is Brandon I. You know God could hand me a menu and say hey, tim, I want you to pick out the perfect husband for your daughter. Here's the menu. And I would just say give me the Brandon special Nice, because he is just the perfect kid.
Speaker 4:Yeah, High school sweethearts right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, they got together for the first time when Audrey was 16. Nice, he was 17. Him and his mom, I guess, listened to our show every morning all the time and was very aware of the whole you know Tuttle and Cline thing, and he didn't put two and two together that Audrey was my daughter until until I guess things had already gotten going. Until I guess things had already gotten going. Oh, wow, yeah, but I think their second date I gave them tickets to go see Garth Brooks at Rodeo in March of 2018.
Speaker 4:Cool, so you know I helped light the fire there of a good relationship, but yeah, Audrey's just, I guess, one of those people going to be one and done in terms of relationships that go big, unlike her father. Well, you know what the thing because Trish showed me the announcement in the pictures from the night that she got engaged, and the thing that I know it's going to last him because she got, she said the thing that I say every single time I get an opportunity, she goes. I get to marry my best friend. You know, she gets to marry her best friend. And you said earlier that FWB used IKE instead of OVE.
Speaker 4:I have long said this Tim, I would rather be liked than loved. How many times do you hear in a day oh, I love that, oh, I love you, oh, I love them. Love has just become such a watered down term. You never hear anybody say like, and like is something that we choose. We like somebody. We get to hang out with somebody because we like them. God tells us we're supposed to love everybody. You know what he doesn't say anything about like. That's our choice.
Speaker 2:No, I mean, you know family members. They're there and they're always going to be there, but you don't necessarily like all of them.
Speaker 4:There you go.
Speaker 2:Your friend, I mean you're very fortunate when you have family members. You like Like, I like my brother, you know he is a great guy, right so? He is a great guy, right? So not only do I love him because he's my brother, but I like Todd because Todd is a cool dude. Yeah, yeah, but anybody that's your friend. I mean, these are the people you choose and they'll be around. Yep, when you add love to the mix, I mean you're adding emotions.
Speaker 4:Oh, very much so.
Speaker 2:You're adding passion, and that makes the relationship immediately possibly a little more rocky, because it can end like that.
Speaker 4:Tim, I say it to people who ask what Trish's and my secret is for 28 years marriage, 30 years together, I say we eliminated sex, took all that out of it, of it. You know. There's no. There's no expectations, there's no there really isn't any passion. We enjoy hanging out with each other. We're friends. Yeah, oh my god, great.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, she's my best friend I kev, I, you know, I, uh, I would love if, if something ever happens and I'm ever in a relationship again, I definitely want it to be somebody that I'm best friends with. Yeah, I definitely do. You know. Unfortunately for that person, though, anybody that would want to be best friends with me, I would automatically be judging their lack of judgment, automatically be judging their lack of judgment. I was like you can have anybody as a best friend and you choose what.
Speaker 4:It's like Milton Berle, the late comedian. Milton Berle said any club that wants to have me as a member. I don't want to be a member.
Speaker 2:Exactly. Yeah, there's something wrong with your vetting process.
Speaker 4:If Tim Tuttle is your best friend, something went somewhere, wrong somewhere in terms of you know, running things through the uh, the brain there, you know yeah, yeah, no, I you know what, though, uh, and because I've learned a lot about you this year in the, in the podcast, um, I think you're a totally different person, man, and so I think that you, having a best friend I mean Tim, when was the last time you said hey, I went over and I talked to my neighbor? Dude, you would never have done that when we were together on radio. Now you're like dude, I like talking to my neighbor.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, you know, even like going over. And when I get my espresso at the clubhouse every single day, which I do now cause they raise my rent, when I get my espresso at the clubhouse every single day, which I do now because they raise my rent, and even though, hey, you know, I can afford my own coffee, I just, you know that's my way of doing it. That's my way of evening things, but I enjoy chatting with them too. They're very, very cool people.
Speaker 4:Yeah, so there you go.
Speaker 2:There you go. I'll even sometimes check this out, kev. I'll even sometimes check this out, kev. I'll even sometimes, when I walk in to get my espresso, I won't even hide, you know, like try to sneak ninja to get it. I'll walk around and you know see, if you know I see any of them, that's awesome yeah, you know back.
Speaker 2:You know kev, before you know a couple years ago. I would just like know you'd put on the mission impossible music. Tim Tuttle tried not to be social. You saw it in the hallways at the radio station all the time. I would walk and then somebody would be walking the other way and I'd be like turn it around man.
Speaker 4:Yeah, tim Tuttle trying not to be social, succeeding way and I'd be like turning around man. Yeah, tim tuttle trying not to be social succeeding.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I've let a lot of that down now. I just you know, some of that is the therapy I gotta. I gotta admit some of it is the therapy from this uh podcast that I get calf that's awesome. That's so cool buddy I gotta tell you um, hey, calf, let's go through these real quick. I know we're probably a little tight on time here, but let's go through the rabbit holes that we went down this past week. Rabbit hole of the week. All right, what consumed your time?
Speaker 4:Just two things. The first thing was in the news stories that I talked about earlier. I went and looked at the comments on each of those news stories. You talk about a time suck. Oh my God, it's, it's ridiculous. Yeah, it's, it's so crazy.
Speaker 2:Kevin, and you can't stop.
Speaker 4:No, you can't, you can't.
Speaker 2:You can't. I, and I, specifically, particularly when you're talking about political stuff, political stories and everything like that, I have to force myself, I, because I, you know, I, I, I can't believe how stupid some people are. I just can't believe that, that it's idiotic. I I think to myself hey, these have just got to be from those bot farms, you know in Russia or China or wherever you know the Democrat Party, that are just, you know, just trying to create chaos and piss people off. It's got to be.
Speaker 4:Do you agree or disagree with this? If there's 1,000 comments on a news story and it's already in one of the comments has already been said that nobody can comment like that ever again. Because, like the Lily Phillips thing, every other comment was mom and dad must be proud. You know what that needs to be, just said one time. Everybody go back and read it and then you know this.
Speaker 2:This, though, reminds me of one of the greatest bits from Anthony Jeselnik Love that guy, Hilarious Kev. You know the one where he's saying you know, after a huge tragedy.
Speaker 3:This is who I'm making fun of when I make a joke on Twitter the day of a tragedy the people who see something horrible happen in the world and they run to the internet. And they run to the internet and they run to their social media Facebook, their Twitter, whatever they got and they all write down the exact same thing my thoughts and prayers. Do you know what that's worth? Fucking nothing, fucking less than nothing, less than nothing. You are not giving any of your time, your money or even your compassion. All you are doing, all you are doing is saying don't forget about me today. Don't forget about me today. Don't forget about me. Lots of crazy distractions in the news right now, but don't forget how sad I am.
Speaker 4:That's actually the name of his special Thoughts and Prayers.
Speaker 2:And I just I thought when I heard that bit I was just like that is just. Yes, it's funny and yes, it's Anthony Jeselnik, a little bit dark, but it is so true man.
Speaker 4:You say, jeselnik, a little bit dark. How about when James Holmes shot up the Aurora Batman movie and Anthony Jeselnik's tweet was Besides that?
Speaker 2:how was the?
Speaker 4:movie.
Speaker 2:I mean, which is hey, man, come on, it's a good line, it's a great line. You cannot rob a comedian. That I mean we, that's. The thing you've got to remember is, when you have stopped the jesters from jesting because of your sensitivities, you have destroyed society. The jesters must always be able to jest, because even the jesters in the kingdoms were given that room to goof on the king a little bit, yeah, and the king a little bit yeah, you know, and the king was okay with it. For the most part, yeah, for the most part, you've got to let the jester get away with it. The minute you, as a hypersensitive people, will only think the way I think and say the things that I allow them to say, as soon as you're that person and you shut down the jesters, you destroy society, yeah.
Speaker 4:We need reasons to laugh.
Speaker 2:Well, not only that, but a lot of poignant angles too. Absolutely, and Jesselnik, right there, nailed it.
Speaker 4:Thoughts and prayers.
Speaker 2:Thoughts and prayers. Don't forget about me today. I'm still here too, too. Yes, there's 14 dead people, but I'm here too. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. It's just brilliant, kev. I love it, I love it watch that special. It's called thoughts and prayers, anthony jeselnik yeah, uh, kev, I got, um, I got caught up in a rabbit hole here and you've probably knowing you, you've probably, um you know, fed into this one too Um, bullies getting knocked out during street fights.
Speaker 4:Oh yeah, uh-huh.
Speaker 2:God, I love those.
Speaker 4:Yeah, anybody that gets their comeuppance.
Speaker 2:Yes, you know. See, the bad news is in today's society, when a fight goes down, the cameras go up, nobody's you know interceding, breaking up, stopping it. But the good news is is when these things go down, the cameras go up, yeah, and people press record. And you could just see these assholes that just just push too far and think, oh okay, I got 25 pounds on this guy, I'm going to wreck him. And they don't realize that this guy, that they weigh 24, five pounds more, he's in the gym. Yeah, he's MMA. Yeah, he's in the gym, yeah he's mma.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he knows things. You you just never know. You never know what's out there. Kevin, I, I, I am guilty of this and you've seen it in action of you know barrel chest. You know puffing up a little bit. You know I'm going to fuck you up. I'm big, I'm Tim Tuttle, I'm 6'2", I'm 210. I work out. I'm going to fuck you up. You've seen me do that. Yeah, I don't do that anymore. Oh, because I have seen enough 155-pound MMA guys destroy dudes my size in about 15 seconds.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah, I, when a strike force, mma was in Houston and I got to cage announce the, the preliminary bouts the day of the weigh-in, I went around and I was Tim Kennedy's escort. Tim Kennedy was in the main event that night and he's a former Army Ranger and I think he weighed like 158, but he had to cut three pounds before he got on the scale to get 155, I think. And he was a very angry guy that day because he couldn't eat anything and he couldn't drink anything. And somebody looked at him cross in the mall and Tim looked back at him and the guy almost like came after him and I'm like whoa, I'm like buddy, he's the last person you want to mess with, dude, he would have killed that guy.
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah, yeah, you never know. You just don't know, yeah, and it's best to just mind your P's and Q's and never go looking for it. Now, if it comes to you, you defend yourself wholeheartedly, the way your daddy taught you to defend yourself. Yeah, but you can't be. You know, no matter how big you are, I don't care what you did on the football field in high school, you know. I don't care what you think you can do. I don't care what you think you can do. There are dudes out there that look like you know the people that you stuffed into the locker when you were in high school. That'll fucking show you your kidney in five seconds.
Speaker 4:Yeah Well, I think another great example would be your son Jonas looks very unassuming.
Speaker 2:Oh, mellow, freaking black belt, relaxed late, laid back, wouldn't hurt a fly. Just the nicest, kindest heart, the zen baby. But you don't want to be stupid because he, once he gets into that position, you know that martial arts position, it's your ass yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4:So there you go that. There, there's your nugget of wisdom from the Tuttle and Climb program today. There you go, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, once you see somebody, regardless of what they weigh or what they look like, get into the martial arts position, you just fucked up. That's when you and I've seen those, as Kevin, some of the videos I was looking at, you see some of those too which is funny. And some of the videos I was looking at you see some of those too which is funny the guy's just chirping and getting in his face, being an idiot or whatever, and then this smaller dude will just get into that position and the guy will go oh no, we're cool, we're cool, we're cool, we're cool, we're cool.
Speaker 4:So there is a point of no return, though. Right where that dude gets in that position you can back out or you have to go.
Speaker 2:Yeah, guys who are trained in that way, they don't want to, because what's flooding through their head is I may have to go sit in jail for a couple of days while this gets sorted out, or this is going to cost me in terms of a lawsuit. They don't want to. They don't want to. But you know, if you throw the first one and that that's the thing you always notice about the people who are trained they wait for the first one to land on them. Yeah, and at that point it's over. Uh-huh, they never strike first Because they know, hey, these MMA guys and trained martial arts guys, they know the cameras are up, sure, and they're like, okay, man, good, I'm going to have some good evidence out there that he struck me first, right, but they never, they never strike first. They'll take a punch, even, they'll even take one.
Speaker 4:Well, that's self-defense.
Speaker 2:And some of them, will you know. Just to make sure and reiterate that they're defending themselves, They'll take two. They'll just be like all right, that's two, that's now I've got to go.
Speaker 4:Well, tim Kennedy, he told me he goes. Yeah, he goes. I never realize I'm in a fight until I get hit.
Speaker 2:Then it wakes me up. Dude, when did you talk to Tim Kennedy?
Speaker 4:Oh, when Strikeforce was in town I took him around to appearances and the weigh-in.
Speaker 2:Fuck. I love Tim Kennedy.
