 Welcome, everyone, greetings. Welcome to Progressive Discussions. I'm your host, James P. Madonna. As seen on the web since 2007, doing this Progressive Talk, Hard-Hitting Truth. One of my special guests for later, if he comes on, and a longtime friend, Mr. Clean himself, Joseph Salza. How are you, sir? How is everybody? How's everybody's week? It's the end of April, 2023 already. How fast the months go by, and knock on wood. The weather's been perfect up here, you know. The weather's been really good. I like it cold at all. Hey, good morning, Masumi. Good morning, Masumi from Japan. You leave home soon to go to the workplace. I know you run a salon in Japan outside of Tokyo, and it is now 9, I guess, 9.05 a.m. Sunday in the region of Tokyo, which is southeast in Japan. So good morning to you, Masumi, and thank you for stopping by and saying hello. I'll be sending out the links after 9 p.m. You're very welcome, Masumi. You're very welcome. Okay, let me get on. Let me start off with a light subject. Actually, I think it's funny, to be honest with you. I think it's really funny. Oh, man. Let's see if everything's okay here. As to do with baseball, I think it's hilarious the way it's worded. So let me do the share screen. No, I'm not subscribing to share. Yankees, great. Derek Jeter was quote, Costanza, unquote. As Marlon CEO, X team executive says, you know, Costanza, and then I looked at his bald head and I read the article and it was pretty hilarious, you know, as in George Costanza from Seinfeld. Derek Jeter, CEO of the Miami Marlins watches batting practice before baseball game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Okay, he's scratching his head. Turns out nearly everybody has curved their enthusiasm for the captain as a baseball executive. I guess he sucks. Former Florida Marlins executive David Samson became the latest to mock the Yankees, great Derek Jeter's futile time as minority owner and CEO of the Marlins in an interview with front office sports. Samson compared Jeter's front office skills to lazy and clueless Seinfeld character, George Costanza, who spent his days avoiding work at Yankee Stadium. Okay, Jeter was able to bring in all his own people and he thought that everything that I did was bad, Samson said. So, he erased anything I had done and figured he could do George Costanza, which is opposite. Anything I did, he did the opposite and assumed it would work. He assumed that he could get a bigger TV deal. He assumed he could get a big naming rights deal and he'd get tons of season ticket holders that he would make the team a winning team. And after four years, I think he realized that being a shortstop and being an executive are two totally different things. And I think he realized quickly that being a pitchman for Subway was probably going to be more up his alley than running the team every day and being accountable for that. Yeah, I agree. After a Hall of Fame playing career, Jeter ran the Marlins from 2017 to 2022. Fox Sports recently announced that Jeter is joining the network as a studio analyst, but his tenure has been widely criticized. New Jersey native and former Major League Baseball Manager Jack McKean was one of the first to tell the world Jeter was a lousy front office executive. Fans have told the team they want the homerun sculpture that Jeter removed returning to the ballpark. Okay, Samson said he learned he was fired by an ESPN news alert after the team was sold to Derek Jeter. I would have stayed on. I had a contract to stay on. Samson said I got a text alert from ESPN.com that I've been fired. I called Derek and said, Hey, I just got an alert that I'm actually fired. He said, Oh, yeah, I didn't get to you. I'm sorry. He added Derek Jeter was the perfect person to buy a team because he didn't use his money. Samson said, and he had someone in the name of Bruce Sherman who let him do anything he wanted with absolutely no accountability. And if you can get that kind of job, you might as well go get it. Several media outlets reported that Jeter left the Marlins because he was frustrated that team chairman Bruce Sherman reneged on a promise to spend more money on players' salaries. Yankees at outfield depth by signing a slugger with 33 homers season on a resume. Yeah, who's that? Somebody from Texas? Cole Calhoun. Oh, the Yankees have plenty of money to throw around. Cole Calhoun, okay. Haystack's Calhoun. He was a 600 pound old time professional wrestler. Haystack's Calhoun. The Grand Wizard of Wrestling used to call him Haystack's Balloon. I'm going to do a little chiseler's hall of shame. Let me see if if it does it here. Interesting. Now, when I was reading this article on my Android phone, it pulled the bait and switch. Let me see if it does the same thing on my desktop. We finally know why insects are attracted to lights. Artificial light doesn't actually attract insects, but instead interferes with the control systems they use to orientate their body when flying. Okay. I guess moths, moths going towards a light because moths are nocturnal. We finally have a good explanation for why insects gather around artificial lights and it isn't because they are attracted to them. Our results suggest artificial lights may only trap passing insects rather than attract them directly from farther away. Write Samuel Fabian at Imperial College London and his colleagues in a paper on the BioRXIV Pre-Pin Server. Oh, really? Okay. All right. I'm going down. So here you go. They didn't switch even with articles. They're doing it now. There you go. See, they tease you. You're reading the article and then it's the rest of the article is all blurred out because they want you to subscribe. Okay. Where's the rest of the article? There it is. Shame on you. New scientists, but I'm not just blaming new scientists. I'm blaming many online publications that are doing the same thing using the very old, sleazy, underhanded, retail scheme trick of bait and switch and they're doing it with articles now. So, there you are. That was the point I was trying to make. Well, this might be going to have to. That's to do it. Tesla and solid state batteries. Of course, they're bombarding me with advertisements. Tesla and EV, I guess, electric vehicle expert Sandy Munro, solid state batteries are a kiss of death for gas cars. Also, how China's BYD, EV manufacturer may win 30% of our market. Yeah, what else is new? Well, American companies have themselves to blame. They wanted cheaper labor. They wanted anything as close to slave labor as they can get. Teardown Titan, Sandy Munro went viral for criticizing certain aspects of early Teslas he tore down with some of those criticisms potentially helping inspire the gig of castings in use today. More recently, he's made no secret of his admiration for Tesla's battery and inverter technology. I don't like it because it doesn't have the range. It doesn't have the range that is required to totally replace the internal combustion gas engine. I think the longest range is around 300 miles and it takes too damn long to charge. One of those lithium batteries takes an hour to completely charge that battery. People, especially Americans, are not going to hang out for an hour to fill her up with their electric vehicles. Okay, Tesla's no secret of his admiration for Tesla's battery and inverter technology, especially in comparison with the myriad other EVs. His company has torn down for analysis. Sandy recently shared his thoughts on the state of the EV and battery tech industries with attendees at the SAE World Congress 2023 and our Chief Detroit Bureau nerd was there taking notes. Tesla's 4680 battery best in class. I wonder if this guy is being paid off by Elon Musk to give two thumbs up for his vehicle. Monroe and Associates has analyzed all the lithium ion battery packs on the market today and declares the 4680 best of the current breed. Based on patents, Tesla purchased from Canadians startup Spring Power for three dollars. Huh? Their chemistry remains an MC with a graphite anode but a novel dry electrode manufacturing process helps shrink the manufacturing footprint to one third relative to the 2170 cells it replaces. It packs six times the power, five times the energy, and boosts range by 16%. Well, you know, at least it's improving. But I know there's a new revolutionary battery waiting in the wings to replace the lithium battery. What about solid state? The Tesla 4680 battery's electrolyte does not qualify to solid state, but it may surprise you as it did us. That solid state batteries have been in production vehicles for some time. Don't get excited. Quebec's Hydro's Blue Solutions and Ballour Bolleray combined their 1700 lithium metal polymer battery patents to form a company called LMP to commercialize fully solid state batteries. The hitch is their current design operates at 176 degrees Fahrenheit, so they're currently only used in heavy duty fitments like buses. Now I'm going to show my charging station. Takes too long. The photos of the battery is a bus 100% battery electric. The batteries are improving. There is no doubt about it without getting into engineering details. I haven't seen a 100% electric battery bus, but they either do exist or they're waiting very soon to be mass produced, which I think is great. I mean, for the pollution issues. But my greatest joy is to see all those crooks that have been ripping multitudes of people off for many decades, and that's the auto repair shops with the internal combustion engine and all of its moving parts. Okay, here it talks about its party trick is bonding lithium nanowires to a silicone base without glue. It just forcibly embedded them. Obviously these batteries are priced for 70,000 foot altitude aircraft, but perhaps with time and production experience, the technology will find its way down to earth. Here we go. CATL announced a revolutionary condensed matter semi solid state battery with an energy density of 500 watts per kilogram. I don't know if I'm reading it right. That's suitable for electric passenger aircraft, aircraft electric compared with a class leading Tesla model S. Yes, I don't want to get into too much too much complex engineering talk here. Of course, China will do it will manufacture it because they have the cheap labor. Yeah, they all want to work. They all want to be entrepreneurs and they all want to be millionaires. Something we used to have here in the States. Yeah, you know what we used to have in the States before Ronald Reagan, the rich paying their fair share in income taxes. How do you like that? I don't mind people succeeding with their business and becoming billionaires but pay your damn fair share in taxes instead of stiffing the middle class and putting the tax burden on the middle class. All right, I got a bunch of photos and blah, blah, blah, you know, can't beat science. Technology advances very rapidly as we all know with the smartphone and the laptop, the tablet and the desktop computers. Today's new technology is next year's obsolescence. Overwhelm you with too much mumbo jumbo. You get the gist of it. You get the gist of it. What about this? What's this all about? Oh, federal prosecutors have considered four possible charges against Hunter Biden. Oh boy, let's bring it up. Got some nice organic green tea with peppermint and two lemon wedges. Use your brownie jumbalonies. I'm sure all you boo sounds are not interested. Anyway, my right hand man, one of my right hand men, Jason Cleveland of Seattle, Washington, was going to be on the show but he is at a Seattle Mariners game where his family, Mariners are playing National League St. Louis Cardinals, I believe. What do we got here? Okay, possible charges are two misdemeanor counts for failure to file taxes. Oh, a single felony count of tax evasion. What else is there? Look at Trump avoiding taxes. Look, they all avoid taxes, the rich, and a felony count related to a gun purchase. So, they seem like nitpicky charges for NBC to make a big deal about them with federal prosecutors. Oh, for God's sakes. Is that what this is about? The whistleblower, the blue to whistle and Hunter Biden about all these little nitpicky misdemeanors and the purchasing of a firearm and tax evasion. Why, you know, just let the IRS do their thing and get him to pay up. That's all. It reminds me of back in the day when they threw Martha Stewart in the federal penitentiary for not, for owing the IRS $40,000. There was something else going on there. $40,000 to a very wealthy at that time. Martha Stewart is like, is like you giving like a $5 tip in a restaurant. It's a drop in a bucket. There was something else going on with that. You know, I'm not going to read this because the charges are, in my opinion, insignificant. They're small. You know the Republicans are behind this. They're nitpicking because they'll do anything to get rid of Democrats and their compassion and empathy towards the poor. The right wing Republicans have always waged war against the poor, always. They hate the poor. They have a hatred towards the poor. I don't know why. Okay. This is concerning AOC and the debt ceiling. Okay. I like the way she puts it. She has a way with words. Excuse me. AOC says Republicans are too much of a mess, mess to negotiate with Democrats on the budget and debt ceiling. Negotiating with that is like trying to nail Jell-O to a tree. Yeah. Near impossible. Oh my goodness. Could she put on, I mean, she's a very cute girl. Could she put on any more makeup? Women do that. Women do that. Okay. What's all this? Kevin McCarthy this week unveiled a bill to raise the debt ceiling, but some GO peers have pushed back. AOC wrote on Instagram that Democrats should not be negotiating with Republicans right now. You can't negotiate with them because they don't, they don't compromise with you. There is no bipartisan compromising. It's not going to happen. They, they have to, they have to win all the time. They have to have their own, they need to get their own way. Otherwise they take tantrums. Republicans are too much of a mess right now to do so if she will. Okay. All right. I was, oh, here we go. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez thinks Democrats should stay out of the GOP's chaotic internal debate over the debt ceiling. On Wednesday, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy finally unveiled the text of his bill to raise the debt ceiling in exchange for 4.5 trillion dollars in budget cuts and he plans to bring it to a house floor vote next week. Since January, McCarthy and President Joe Biden have been at odds over the best approach to raise the debt ceiling and prevent the U.S. from a financial catastrophic default. McCarthy wants to negotiate a deal to raise the debt ceiling that would include a variety of spending cuts including banning student loan forgiveness and bolstering work requirements for welfare programs while Biden has been adamant that Democrats will not negotiate over keeping the country out of the default. You see how Republicans attack the poor right off the bat and blame the poor for the country's debt instead of blaming the severely bloated military budget which is where most of American taxpayers go. I think it's over 60% of the budget. Instead, they attack the poor that depend on programs that make up maybe like 2% of the budget. I mean a very small percentage but they right away they blame the poor because they're evil scumbags. But now that McCarthy has released the legislation some members of his own party have not been fully on board and in light of that Ocasio-Cortez said Democrats should definitely not negotiate with McCarthy. Republicans are too much of a mess right now to do so. I think she's being very kind by saying they're too much of a mess. I couldn't control my vocabulary. I can't if I was elected. She wrote in response to a question on the topic on her Instagram story. Republicans can't even get their own party behind one plan let alone both parties. Negotiating with that is like, here we go again, trying to nail Jello to a tree. What is there to even negotiate? She said McCarthy is a mess. The whole party is there. She added which of course is how this whole thing started. The situation is very concerning honestly because mess or not the GOP was elected to govern and they really cannot. They don't govern. What do they do? The only thing they do is the bidding of the oligarch and the big corporations that grease their palms during their campaigns, the campaign contributions and the bribes which they wholeheartedly accept. I'm not just picking on Republicans. Also corporatists, Democrats trying to see if there's anything else. That's it. I try to cut out the mumbo jumbo. I don't want to burden you people with mumbo jumbo. I'm almost finished Ronny S. Greetings to you Ronny S. Feliz Sabado. That's happy Saturday in Spanish. The debt ceiling. My ceiling is really nice. I got really, I got big LED light fixtures right in the ceilings of every room. Hell's a matter with you people. Hell's a matter with you people out there. This is a very popular current breaking news issue and I'll show you what it is. Now I hope Jason Cleveland notices a difference in my video because I have disengaged all and I repeat all of the automatic everything. It's just straight old-fashioned high definition web care. No more automatic focus, no more automatic lighting and coloration and this and that. And the other thing, this is an experiment to see how it goes. And with my eyeballs right now, it actually looks better. I don't see any blurriness that I got with automatic focus or focus. How do you pronounce it Ronny S? Focus or focus? Focus, I'm sorry. I follow you. Automatic focus. Okay, this is a very popular issue my friends. After this I have one more. And then I send out the links to the panelists that are meant to be meant to be for tonight's progressive discussions. Samuel Alito used his dissent in the abortion pill, ruling to call out three justices in an act of judiciary theater. Scrotum expert, no, Scoitus expert says. Okay. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito and Alana Akegin testified about the court's budget during a hearing of the House Appropriations Committee's financial services and general government subcommittee March 7, 2019 in Washington D.C. There they are. The Supreme Court ruled to uphold FDA approval of the abortion pill on Friday. Good. Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito publicly dissented with Alito writing an opinion. Yeah, because they think that life begins at the conception of their fools. They're not, Republicans do not believe in science, proven facts. A Scoitus expert said it appeared Alito was accusing three female justices of hypocrisy. All right. The Supreme Court ruling on Friday assured the abortion pill. Let me see if I can pronounce this. Miffy Pristone. Miffy Pristone. Miffy Pristone can still be purchased and used in the United States, freezing a lower court ruling that would have effectively banned access to the pill. Well, I wonder what kind of side effects it has. It has to be safe. Two justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito publicly dissented. Ah, fuck them. With the latter writing an opinion in which he called out three female justices by name, including fellow conservative justice Amy Coney Barrett in an apparent act of of judiciary theater. Scott Lemieux, a professor of political science at the University of Washington and an expert on the Supreme Court and constitutional law told insider. Don't mind it, is that you know the usual false alarm car alarms. The case came to the court after a judge in Texas ruled to suspend the Food and Drug Administration's more than 20 year old approval of the drug milk for Pristone. The Biden administration asked the Supreme Court to grant an emergency request that would protect the FDA approval while the case is still being litigated. Yeah, it has to do with the the religious fanatical cult of that Republicans follow. The evangelical cults that thinks that life begins at feudalization. Because it was an emergency request, the case was reviewed under what is known as the court shadow docket where they rule on procedural matters. Cases that are considered on the the shadow docket do not get the same level of review as other cases, meaning the decisions are accompanied by little or no explanation, and often lack clarity on which justices are in the majority or minority, according to the Brennan Center for Justice. Indeed, while the court said they were granting the Biden administration's request, no explanation was provided by the majority as to why. The ruling did not specify how most of the justices voted or even how many justices voted in favor. Both Thomas and Alito elected to note their dissents with only one of them explaining why. For part of his reasoning, Alito focused on the shadow docket itself. He wrote that the court has previously been criticized for shadow docket decision making and specifically and specifically called out three female justices, Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, and Barrett, citing rulings in which they previously objected to using the shadow docket. It's going on and on about the docket. That's it. That's enough. That's enough. We all know what the deal is with Republicans trying to stop a 20-year studied and tested and FDA approved abortion pill. We all know what it is. It's their right-wing religious fanaticism, which is not based on any science or proven facts. So docket or no docket, fuck it, fuck it, docket, whatever you want to. That's what it comes down to. A person's perception is not evidence. This is the last one and it's an interesting one at that. Everybody, they're all crying and bitching a moment about politics and grocery prices. But when you see this article, you're going to quickly prioritize this over everything people complain about. The last of the Mohicans is coming to me enlarge this article. I don't know why I have to keep enlarging the articles because I already enlarged it once. Pencil Knight Geeks, programmers, I'll tell you a story. Speaking of Pencil Knight Geeks, I have a bone to pick with Zuckerberg, but an end with the Pencil Knight Geek at that own stream yard. But what else is new, right? Okay, here we go. Massive 101-foot asteroid 2023 HQ, zooming towards Earth at a speed of 26,261 kilometers per hour. NASA Issues Warning, a gigantic 101-foot asteroid named 2023 HQ is all set to make its closest approach to Earth today. Okay, they're not saying collision, they're saying closest approach, but apparently too close for comfort. Okay, April 22nd is when the warning was given by NASA. Here's a lovely artist's image. Oh, by the way, the space program was successful in their diversion of that other asteroid as a test model for it. Space is a dangerous place. It is filled with a massive number of gigantic and high-speed celestial bodies moving in random directions, and some of them pose a big threat to the Earth. Just a couple of days ago, an asteroid exploded over the skies of Europe. This is why space agencies such as NASA have doubled down on planetary defense measures. Last year, the double asteroid redirection test, which is known as dart, mission was conducted successfully, and now NASA has begun construction of the near Earth object, NEO, Surveyor Space Telescope, which will scan the inner solar system in the infrared spectrum to look for any potentially dangerous asteroids. And now NASA reveals that a mammoth 101-foot asteroid is going to visit our planet from a dangerously close distance. The risk is if it gets trapped by the Earth's gravitational pull, there could be a huge disaster. Well, they have to try to deflect it. Last year, the spacecraft, the unmanned spacecraft that deflected the test asteroid was much farther away. This asteroid is coming in close, so they better fire it off and do it. Massive asteroid moving towards the Earth. NASA reports on an asteroid have given a significant information on what to expect. Yeah, and again, they're repeating themselves. The asteroid is named 2023 HQ, and it was first spotted on April 16th of this year. First spotted. Sort of the last minute, isn't it? As per the Small Body Database, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory website tells us that the asteroid is going to come as close as 5.8 million kilometers to the Earth. While this might seem like a huge distance to sun, the Center for Near Earth Object Studies data might shock you. According to them, the asteroid is traveling at a mind-numbing speed of 26,261 kilometers per hour. Oh boy. However, the current NASA prediction states that the asteroid will likely make a safe passage across the planet. Yet for precautionary reasons, the asteroid is being monitored by the Wide Field Infrared Survey Explorer Telescope. I'm not going to be reading every damn abbreviation. Screw them. This tech marvel is a space telescope that has been tasked with monitoring all nearby space rocks in the inner circle of the solar system. Okay, and this is the end. Thank God. It is very interesting to understand how this tech actually worked. Ever since NASA became aware of the risk of near-Earth objects, it has dedicated itself to tracking and monitoring as many space rocks in the inner circle of the solar system as possible using the prowess of JPL and Wide Field Infrared Survey Explorer. Okay, telescope. The U.S. Space Agency collects data for over 20,000 asteroids. All right. I told you the last article will be interesting. I told you some. Okay, now it is time to present the links and see who is out there. You just have to bear with me. You have to bear with me. Yes, and then bear with me. He's going to be, Mr. Clean is going to be at his son's house at that time. But I told, I thought Mr. Clean told me he is going to be very free and available on the weekend. That's what I thought. Okay, I have to do something. It'll only take me 10 seconds. That's what I thought. That's what I thought. That's what I thought. He said that because of his new job, he's going to be free. You know, many people give me their availability and they seem really positive about their availability. And then when the time comes, they're not that available. Really? Anyway, the links are out there. I'm trolling. I got, I got a really good fishing lure. Okay, I'm trolling off the back of the cabin cruiser. The fishing lure is the link to join progressive discussions. And I will see who bites the lure and who comes on as opposed to people that are full of shit. South to the border down Mexico way. I said others. I'm trying to think of that other song. Western Mike. Western Mike. Greetings, Western Mike. Feliz Sabado. Happy Saturday to you. You know, I'm going to have, I got it on my, my phone. I have to, you know, if I, if I, if it plays in my head and I try to memorize it, so much that goes on that I just forget about it. Theme song to the dating game. Here we go. Yeah, you're right. Hey, Jason Cleveland. Mr. Clean is the one who told me because of his wonderful new job that he is going to be very free on the weekends. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'm going to be very free and available on the weekends. Yeah, I could join the show. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, he tells me over on the red pill man cave, Jack will, he's going to be at his son's house. He's dodging me, man. Well, anyway, Mr. Jason Cleveland, I, this is my video. No automatic focus, no automatic lighting, no automatic video enhancing enhancement. It's just straight, plain old fashioned, high definition webcam. From what I can see, I, I don't see a problem. I mean, I don't see anything wrong with it. I don't know. I have to, I have to get your take on it. No, you're probably going to watch the show after it's over and it might be over early tonight. Yeah, where the fuck, where the fuck is he? He's the guy that says he's going to be very free and available on the weekends. Where is Mr. Clean? He told me he's at his son's house. He's dodging my show, man. So now I have to send the link to Paul Anthony Mantier. All right, there we go. Let's see. Oh, you know who else? Hold on. I sent it to Mick von Raben. He says he's going to be free this weekend. He says if I send him the link by way of text, it's it, that's the easiest and quickest way for me to to send him a message is by text. And that's what I did. So the moral of the story is I can't take anyone's word for anything. You can't rely on any humanoid these days. Can't do it. It's unfortunate. I'm one of the, I'm a dying breed. I'm one of the very few people that says what he means and means what he says. If I tell you I'm going to be there at a certain time, you can vet your bottom dollar, I am going to be there. And I might even be there early. And if there's an emergency, I will call you way ahead of time to let you know. It's called being considerate. So I decided I'm not going to get up. I'm not going to let it upset me. I'm not going to, I'm not going to start cursing and screaming and everything. You know, I'm going to be calm, keep my composure. And I mean, I know that Eric Faunfelder, Thomas Middle 75, is not going to be home. He's going to be, he's going to be, he's going to a comedy show to see a certain comedian. He's not going to be home. At least he told me. Mike, Mike, Lester, Mike told me that Thursdays doing a show on a weekdays is iffy. He said that Saturday is best. Saturday night is best. I do a show Sunday afternoon for those that are watching. It's called Red Pill Man Cave. I started at 3 p.m. Eastern time. It's a fun show. I usually start it at, I start it with the Commodore Jeff Zambella. We get the show going. Sometimes Jordy from Scotland joins us. Depends, depending on what's going on with him. And usually, Mick Von Rape joins us, because if he has a day, it's usually Saturday night and he's free on Sunday. So he joins. But last time he had, there was some kind of a festival, music festival or something with rock bands. It was a daytime festival. So he went. So he wasn't available on Sunday. Now, he told me about this girl that he met. I saw red flags right away. He saw red flags right away, but I think he, he's not, I don't think he's paying close attention to the red flag because if he went, if he went out with this girl tonight, I know she's going to be nothing but trouble. And he, he even told me she'll be, she's going to be trouble. Another girl that's going to be trouble. You know, I mean, it's like one after the other drama, right from the get go, aggravation, drama should never happen right away. It should always, it usually happens after you, if you marry them. So he, he most likely, despite the red flag, he most likely dated to went out with her because he's a very horny guy and he wants to get laid. And this is a problem. I have to be honest, this is a problem with many men today of all ages. They are desperate to get laid. So they'll avoid the fact that a woman is totally wrong for them, totally wrong for them. And they'll, they'll, they'll get their, their lives will get all complicated and, and loaded with stress, drama and more stress and more drama. And they'll get entangled with a person that deep down they know is not compatible with them or they're, they're got, they're damaged goods. They're bad news, damaged goods, red flags, but they'll do it because they, they're, they gotta get laid. It's like they can't be celibate. They can't like say no. They just can't say no. I don't care how good, good looking the girls. If she's, if she is giving you problems, an alpha male will straighten her out and give his honest opinion right at the beginning. I don't care. I don't care. I'm not, I'm not, I'm not a sycophant. I don't brown nose, anybody for anything, anything. Man, woman or beast. I never liked the, I never, I never liked the national anthem that they chose, Francis Scott Key. Um, I think, um, there, there are some others that are better. How'd he go? America, America, God shed his grace on me. Anyway, I don't know. What about the song that Hulk Hogan came out to? That's way better than the national anthem. I am a real American. Fight for the rights of every man. I am the real, I am a real American. Fight for your rights, fight for your life. That song is very inspirational. That's like the Rocky song. It's very, it really gets you going. That, that should be the new national anthem yet. And believe me, Joe Biden needs all the blessings he can get. Pray for the man because he's old, man. He's old and he's getting fragile and he's showing his age and just pray for him and send him a ton of blessings. Because let me tell you, God forbid, you know, Kamala Harris is not suitable to be president of the United States. Okay. Now, hey, oh, Ronnie, yes, you used to, you used to always be available Saturday night. Where the hell are you? I got to do, I got to do this every Saturday. I'm just going to put the show on hiatus and I'm going to take a break. You know, I'm going to put the show on the back burner and just do the Sunday show because I'm tired of this. I send, I send the links out and certain people say they're free, they're available. I send the links out and they don't come on. But if somebody's, if some alcoholic is doing a booze review show, they all come running. Mr. Clean. Hey, I'm at my son's house. Yeah. Yeah, you're, he's really free on the weekends now, really free. I was thinking of just getting rid of that, that red pill main cave chat group on WhatsApp, just terminating it. Because I don't have any patience for people that don't stand by what they tell me. You know, I'm going to, I'm going to give it, I'm going to give it five more minutes, five more minutes, and then I'm going to close out the show and call it a night. I was all ready to have Mr. Clean, make Von Ray, Ronnie Simpson, Weston, Mike, Paul, Anthony, and me. That's six. That's six. I can't have any more than six. Because I have the free version. I'm not going to pay this, this Pennsylvania geek that own StreamYard for the professional account. I'm not going to do it. With the professional account, you can have up to 10 people. But can you imagine what kind of mayhem that would be? That'll be like running a switchboard operator. That'll, that'll be like total chaos. Say people talking at the same time, having 10 people. I know, I know Eric Fraunfelter does it with Wildcard Wednesday. He, he has the professional approach. And he not only manages a lot of people on video, but he does special effects and he does it. He's very good at it. You know, he just brings the special effects up really fast and comedy and like animations and cartoons. He's really quite good at it. But he's, he's the one who's the drummer for the gothic heavy metal band, um, Oxblood Forge. And I'm very happy with their success. They've been getting a lot of gigs and they're doing well. Okay. I'm going to see if McVon Raven left me a message. Like he said, he can, he can leave me a message if I contact them on text. Now, apparently I cannot reliably contact him on text either. He says, oh, oh, don't bother. Facebook Messenger is not the best. WhatsApp is not the best. Uh, emailing is not the best. The best is text. Text me. Send, send me the link on text. There you go. Links on text. Nothing. Nothing. Let me check the, uh, the red pill man cave. The roof closed since it started raining. Well, yeah, Seattle. You guys are supposed to get more rain than us. We got rain today. Tonight, rather. Getting ready for a great matchup. I never, I never liked the, uh, the interleague playing. I really, I never liked interleague playing. Let the American League play the American League team. I can't even fucking hear shit. Who's who are you on with? I can't hear a fucking thing. Could you hear me now? I could barely hear you. My volume's all the way up too. Wait, hold on. Oh, wait, no. Okay. I got it. I got it. Check your microphone. I'm over here by my son's house. He's over here. Tell him, say hi man. Tell him, uh, give him my regards. Yeah, I'm said hi. Hi. Can you see him? Yeah, he's far away. He's got a big place. We're going to watch the fight. What? Which, uh, which fight is this? Get paid for you. What is it? UFC or regular boxing? I think it's P. What's PBC? What the fuck is PBC? What is it? No, it's PBC, Kevin. It's a, this is like a lightweight fight. Oh, okay. Okay. Me. Got you. Oh, you mean like Roberto Duran? You, when, when, when, what kind of wifi you got? Oh, wait a minute. You're breaking up. What kind of what? What kind of wifi? Oh, I'm not on my wifi. Oh, shit. Wait, wait, hold on. Hold on. Hold on. I gotta put it on. Anyway, folks, this is the one and only Mr. Clean. He's in, he's, he's now residing in Jacksonville, Florida, originally from Patterson, New Jersey. I know him personally. Jason, Jason asked me if I knew, I knew you personally, face to face in person personally. And I said, yes, I do for, for a long time. He didn't have his wifi on. So how was he? How was he connecting to StreamYard? I guess he was turning his wifi on. See, so if somebody is free on weekends, nowadays, it doesn't necessarily mean they're free on weekends. There he is. Looks, you look clearer. I know, because I had to hook up to him. I hooked up to his wifi. Yeah, your phone, you got the hotspot. I mean, the hotspot on your phone. Well, actually hooked up to his wifi. Yeah, absolutely. I could have just used the hotspot. I could just try that too. Yeah, the hotspot. Well, I think that's what the hotspot's supposed to do. Like, if you're somewhere and somebody and there's wifi nearby. Yeah, because I literally, because I had it off. Like, like one time I walked into a Dunkin Donuts and and they hooked up, my phone hooked up with their wifi and their wifi is pretty good. And even fast food has wifi sometimes. Yeah, everybody. They all got it. You know, unless the business is like really lame and cheap business. Yeah, you know, but where's this other guy? Where's that guy? What's his name? McFawn Raven told me he's, he's free. He's always going to be free this while we're going to be real free this weekend. Yeah. So you know what he must have done? The girl he was, the girl he was complaining about to me over the phone for a long time. Yeah. He probably went out with her because he's desperate to get laid. He's like, he's, I know he's a very horny guy. And you know, some dudes like they'll go out with a woman who is total, a total mistake. Yeah, like me, total, total mistake. My ex-wife fucking that psychopath. Yeah. Well, maybe back then, you know, you had, you might have had physical chemistry, but there was no compatibility mentally. Like mentally, you weren't, you weren't. Oh, no, I wasn't, I wasn't thinking at all. You weren't on the same page. Nope. Usually I'm not on the same page with anybody. Well, because they all, they all stink on ice nowadays. Who's the champ on this guy? Which one's a champ? Now, who is the one who kept spending money that she really didn't have to go on, on, on overseas to take vacations? Yeah, that was her. She would go by herself. She'd leave me fucking home and she'd go by herself. By herself? Yeah. Yeah, she did it like three times. Yeah. It's not, it's not boring. Like, uh, well, you know what? I'll tell you one thing. To go on vacation to a spot where there's like, like single people go, don't go, don't go with a girlfriend or, I understand if a man is married, but, but if, if, if a man is just as a girlfriend, go with your male friends. Because let me tell you, if you go, if you go to Cancun or, or Punctacana, Dominican Republic with your male friends, you will hook up. Oh, hell yeah. But the thing is about Spanish girls, man. I don't know, man. I can't, I can't do it anymore. No, Cancun has a lot of, a lot of girls from all over. They got American girls down there. Yeah, you got to go to the, to the resorts. They got British. They got, yeah, you got to go, Kevin. We got to go to, um, we got, we should go to Miami. Me and you. You want to go to Miami? Well, if you're going to go to Miami, go to South Beach Miami. Don't go, don't go over all the crime is. Oh no. And, and actually, um, Fort Lauderdale's a good one too. No, really, go to South, you know, our South Beach. Yeah. Go right to South. Yeah. Absolutely. My cousin, my cousin's down there. He's on the freaking swap team, man. My cousin, he's on the freaking swap team. Somebody's going down on this motherfucker. I don't know who's going down, but somebody is. Yeah, that's, that's, that's the place to be, South Beach. Yeah. There's another resort in Isla Marada in Florida Keys called Holiday Island. Oh, yeah. It's a, it's a, it's a resort. We're like entertainment and drinking and they have a hotel there. That's him. You know, yeah. He's a lightweight champion. Oh, he's a lightweight champion. Um, the thing is, uh, no, I'm not a fan of establishment Democrats. Jason, sorry about, sorry. I can't, I can't be that enthusiastic about them, but you know, it's better than the alternative. That's how I look at it. What did he say? God bless. God bless Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. 2024 and beyond beyond. What do you, what do you think the, the only way Joe Biden can be beyond is if they turn them into a cyborg like that, like the $6 million man, you know, they start putting Android parts on them, you know, beyond. Yet the bad thing about going to a baseball game is they rip you off for the food and beers and they really rip you off big time. Oh yeah. Oh, is that what he is? Yeah. He's, uh, he's at the Seattle Mariners game. They're playing the St. Louis Cardinals and I told them, I don't, I don't like this interleague play. American League should play American League teams. National League should play National League teams. Oh yeah. And, and everybody should have the designated hitter. Both leagues should have it because it's easier on a pitcher. I mean, the pitcher is, they, it's very tiring, you know, they got to keep on throwing all those pitches. I mean, they deserve to have a rest. I know, right? Yeah. Don't make the Dan National League makes the pitcher go to bat. Holy shit. Yeah, that's not good. Somebody's here and went down by now, right Kevin? How many, how many rounds was it, 10? Yeah. Oh. Hey, Western Mike, are you, are you out and about? Are you, are you in a sports bar or restaurant or, or are you home? Oh, Mr. Mike. Yeah. Mike's, if Mike's home, he can come on. If he's out, if he's out, he's out. I understand that. Which one's Mike? No, he's from San, he's in San Francisco, West, West. This gentleman, originally from Chicago, now living in San Francisco. The other one's supposed to come on, Mick, the one you were, you were. Yeah, he just said that. Yeah, he just said that he might come on. I've seen a message. He might come on. Why is everybody giving me all this Mike, Mike, Mike? He told me. No, but did you see it? It just came up on the screen. He told me it was free. That's the guy that was doing, he looked like he, he looked like he was smoking weed, a picture that he put up. Yeah. Well, the other, the other guy smokes a lot of weed. Oh my God. What's his name? Ronnie, Ronnie S. Ronnie S, what the hell is Ronnie S? He's probably on a booze, he's probably on a booze hound show. Maybe they're just drinking. Yeah. He's, he's a boozer from it. I mean, he, he says he's not, but I don't believe it. No, he's. But you, but is that you putting the beer stuff on or him? I ain't me. I'm not, I'm not posting any beers. No, that's probably Jason. Yeah. I'm not posting any beer stuff. You know, yeah, I was talking about beer. Isn't that Draft King? Draft Pings? Isn't that like a gambling thing also? You're a boozer. You're a boozer. Who's a boozer? You, you smoke a lot, you smoke a lot of marijuana and you're a boozer. Yeah. Because, because you left my show early to join a booze hound show. Oh, too. I was told. And you, you know, that's my stuff. You said, good night, boo, you left and you're joining a booze hound show. And, and uh, yeah, I mean, you know, you say, you say Saturday nights are good for you. Um, um, Western Mike says Saturday nights are good for him. How do you, how do you, how do you send them? How do you send the message like that through YouTube? McFawn Raven says he's free this weekend. Hey, where the hell are these people? And I take offense to it. I don't care. But I tell you one thing, if this was, if this was a booze show and I was sucking them down with Jordy, all you, all you, all you other guys. Yeah. It's it's like pulling teeth. How do you send the message? You don't, you don't go on the chat. You just send the message. Are you talking about the link? Yeah. Oh, I see how to do it. All right. I got it. I think I think my camera is blurry. Who's mine? Why is my camera? He says my camera's blurred. My camera's blurry. My camera's blurry. Maybe I have to get another camera. It's not as bad as it was before. What can I say? It says, oh, there you go. It says I was backstage. Hi, Kevin. He's fucking people. You all right? How come they don't knock each other down yet? Um, you're in the show. Everyone can see you and hear you. Very good. Um, no, I'm just trying to send you a message. Yeah. What's wrong with my, what's wrong with my, my, my video? I don't see any issue with it. No, not wrong with it. No. Jason, Jason says, always says, um, my camera's blurry. You know, I mean, uh, maybe, maybe I need, maybe I need to upgrade it. Maybe the cameras are better, much better now. I don't know. I'm not going to spend a hundred bucks. I'm fucking, uh, what? Yeah. What a best buy. I mean, I'll go, I'll, I'll spend 50. I mean, I'll spend 50 on like Amazon or I can get one. Is Best Buy still in business? Are they still around? Yeah, I think so. Right, Kevin? Yeah. They closed. They closed, um, a couple of them by me. Uh, Oh, did they? Yeah. Yeah. Paramus. They closed the one in Paramus. Wow. Yeah. There used to be a big one there. I like Best Buy. You know what, you know, it's good new egg dot com. New egg is really, you know, as far as if you want people, somebody wants to get really high tech something or whatever. Yeah. New eggs got everything. And you know who's got a lot of good high tech, the place in Patterson, uh, uh, Micro Center, Micro Center. Yeah, dude. Group 20. Yeah, that place makes a lot of money, man. Yeah, I think it's called Micro Center. Yeah, I used to work in the Lowe's over there. Yep. Right next to it. Yeah. The only thing is people have to be very careful if they have, if they have sales, they're very sneaky. I know a guy who bought a desktop that was on sale. And guess what? It was, it was sitting in a warehouse for seven years in a box. Holy shit. Like it wasn't, it wasn't this year's model. It wasn't up to date. This is the middle, the middle, the middle way. It couldn't get rid of it. It was, it was shit. It was just sitting in a warehouse for seven years. And so, so the guy wasn't really saving money. In reality, he wasn't like, he didn't get a bargain. Seven, seven years is a dinosaur for a computer. Yeah. I left my computer, Bob. My daughter has it. I'm advertising public's water. So what happened? You, you, you can only bring when you came when you first drove down, you can only bring so much with you. Well, you know, I was supposed to work tonight, right? I thought you, I thought you said you're, you're free on the weekends. No, I am, but I was, I had to go in two more days. I don't get it. Yeah, but then you, then you're not free for the weekend. No, I had to go into public's. That's, it was my last two days this weekend, but I'm not going to go in. Screw them. Oh, that, that piece of shit that managed you there. Oh, dude, just thinking about it, my blood pressure goes up. Right, Kevin? So you had, you had two more days to deal with him. Yep. Yeah, dude, I wasn't going to do that. There's no way I'm nice and relaxed. I'm nice and calm. I wasn't going to do that shit. Kevin, is your air on? You shut the air off. In Florida, he shut the air off. Why is it so fucking hot in here? You're saving electricity? Put it on low. Put it on like 72. It usually is. It usually like freezing in this place. Did you turn it up, Kevin? Oh, okay. He usually keeps it nice and cool in here. This is like the Seinfeld episode where Jerry's father in the Boca Raton, his mother and father, they don't know how to work the central air conditioning and it was like always hot in there. No, it's so easy. You know, oh, I know what it is. It was digital. It was push button. Yeah, you just keep it on. You keep it on whatever you want to keep it on and then, you know, and then once the temperature goes up. It's a no brainer. It's easy. Just put it on like, if you don't want it too cold, put it on like 72, 73. Yeah, that's what I keep mine on. I keep mine on set. Dude, I got to keep it on 75 because Lori's always fucking cold, man. You can't just be calling people losers. What he did was what he did was somebody, somebody told me because they saw him. He cut out of my show early on a Saturday and he made it like he was saying good night and then he went on this this show with a bunch of alcoholics. Yeah. And my friend saw him on this other show that Saturday night. Yeah. So, so instead of talking about important things, he cut, he cut out of my show early and then went to the alcoholic show. Oh, shit. See, that's what he did. Alcohol is bad for you, man. It's worse. Apple worse than weed. A friend of mine. Well, he was, he wasn't, you know, there he is. Ronnie. Yes, you Ronnie. Yes. You remember him. He's in clear water. You're in Jacksonville. Oh, for real? What's up, James? Yeah. Well, his his video is fine. You know, I mean, yeah, everybody looks fine. I don't see any problem with the video. I mean, maybe because, you know, Jason bought a real super high tech, high definition webcam. I mean, I don't have the money for that right now. But and you know what? I don't make money on YouTube like like Ronald Terry does. So why should I spend extra money? Your camera looks okay to me. What's he do, man? What's he do on YouTube? He sells videos? No, no, no. Ronald Terry has a big follow. Oh, he just has a huge following. And it's not that big really. I think he has like 15,000 subscribers. He's been around for like over 10 years. You need a lot of subscribers and viewers to like get like you YouTube doesn't it's not generous. I mean, you need like legions of people in order to make decent money from YouTube. And not only that, you know, YouTube told me Oh, um you are the content of your videos is not appropriate for our sponsors because you were talking about so so in other words, they want G rated. I know what they were getting at. They want G rated content. I'm not doing no, you know, I'm not doing nothing G rated. I'm not I'm not Walt Walt Disney cartoons, you know, that's crazy. Yeah, yeah, I don't do G rated. I just had some Brooklyn style pizza, James. It was awesome. Is it is it the place you went to? Or is it a frozen pie? No, no, it was a pizza place. Who is this? Oh, I just went there for the first time today. I would I think the best pizza I've had in Florida so far. I wonder if it's the same owner is the Brooklyn style pizza by me is owned by Patsy Grimaldi that owns the famous Patsy's in the city. It's not going to be the same owner. The restaurant that Frank Sinatra used to hang out in is called Patsy's. That's cool. And they own Brooklyn style pizza in New Jersey. I wonder if they open well, it's not called it's not called that. It's just they say their pizza's Brooklyn style is the way they make it. Are they from up north? I didn't talk to them, but I'm gonna go back in there and and talk to them. But you like it. Yeah, I'm telling you, it was the best pizza I've had in Florida. This fucking guy called me just kicked me to fuck off. Wait, hold on. And it's not easy to find good pizza here man at all. Are you there? Yeah, who me? Yeah, I'm here. Yo, it's got heavy rain going on out there. What the fuck was that rain? Where's he at in Jersey too? I don't understand. Who? Him. He's Mr. Clean is in he's from Jersey based in Jacksonville. He's lived in there now. Oh, he's in Jacksonville. Jacksonville. Yeah. So you understand the pizza struggle. Yeah, I ordered after going through several pizzerias that suck, you know, like a person like that's not Italian, shouldn't just go to one pizzeria and say, Oh, I don't like pizzas. I hate it. You got to go to the right ones. This pizza, you don't have much of a problem up there in Jersey or New York. You can usually go to any, any kind of anywhere. Every, every neighborhood has probably like, like a few pizzerias in each neighborhood. Or you might come across a few that are so far, but for the most part, they're all pretty decent. Well, this, this pie I had from Pomodoro, Brick oven. It was the way I like it. Crispy, thinner, thinner crust, not too much dough. A lot of mozzarella because I love cheese. It's going down that guy. Mozzarella. Oh, what is he watching the fight? It's good toppings, generous with the toppings. And I very, I don't usually find a pie like, Oh, that looks decent. That looks like they got the garlic knots thrown in there. And I didn't even ask them for garlic. That looks like a New York style pizza. It does. Yep. That's good, man. You know how you can tell because it has the bubbles up on the crust. Oh, yeah, yeah. It's light and, and, and crud, and crud, and crisp, crispy with the bubbles, right? You know what they might, they might use the stone baking pizza. Maybe. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They always say it's because of the Florida water. It's not, not a soft enough, like it is on Long Island or in the city. But maybe that's not really true. You just have to go to the right place. When you, when you pour, when you turn the tap on, you smell the water. Do you smell like a, like a rotten egg smell? No. No, down here, the water's, the water's more, it's right. It's, it's better down here than, than up north. I wouldn't say it's better. Why would you say that? No, because my taps don't get all white stuff all over them down here. Up there, I've got all whites, all calcium, all over my taps and everything up in New Jersey. Maybe Jersey's different than Long Island in my, in my, limestone. Well limestone is, is calcium carbonate anyway. Yeah. Yeah, I had it all over my taps. Well, I was in Warren County, actually. Where is that? Southern Jersey or Northern? No, that's, that's north. That's actually northwest. Towards Pennsylvania. Yeah, it's by Sus, it's right next to Sussex County. Yeah. Yeah, you're talking, you're going towards the Pennsylvania. It's, it's route 80 exit. Oh shoot, what the heck was the exit? Wow. I guess the farther you get away from like the coast, all right, maybe. Yeah, probably. Yeah, you would think, you would think the water would be like, like, like mountain spring water out there. Yeah, I don't know man, for some reason my taps, they got like the shower heads got all messed up. I've been here for five months. I got nothing on the shower heads. There's nothing. You've only been there for five months? Yeah, I've been down since November. I've been down here. How do you like it so far? Oh no, I liked it. Well, so far the weather's been pretty good for me. Well, Jacksonville. I'm down in Tampa Bay. Oh, okay. My niece goes to, my niece goes to the college over there. Which one? University at Tampa? Yeah, I think so. She goes to the university at Tampa, right? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. That's cool. I've never been to Jacksonville. No, the weather's been pretty good over here, right Kevin? Oh my God, the freaking weather's been good. I can't complain man. It's been really good. Nice and cool. Now it's freaking humid tonight though. And I still have, I opened my windows last night and it got humid again. I had to shut my window. Yeah, it's basically always humid over here, but it's a little cooler up where you are, I know. Yeah, because tonight it's going to be in the 60s, but it's like really humid outside. Yeah, because you're not on the Gulf Coast. You're on the Atlantic Ocean. Yeah, he's farther north. Jacksonville is basically as far north as you can go in Florida. Yeah. Yeah, he's on the Gulf Coast. I'm actually on the Atlantic. Mm-hmm. So you're near to Georgia border. Yeah, basically, but Georgia's like about, Georgia's like two hours from here, right? Is it that far? No, really? Or an hour. No, I think it's, no, it's about an hour. About an hour with no traffic. Yeah. Yeah, Savannah. Savannah is like a couple hours, I think. Yeah, yeah, but what's north of Jacksonville in Florida? Is there anything, or is Jacksonville right in the border? No, Jacksonville's the border. Then right after Jacksonville is Georgia. Right, like going north is Georgia. So it takes an hour to get there? Yeah, yeah, good hour with no traffic, yeah. I'm surprised. But, bro, everybody, everybody's moving down here, dude. Like, it's unbelievable. Like, everybody from the north is coming down. It's unreal. Yeah, it really is. It's getting to be a lot. Like, you can hear more than normal. There's a big population down in Miami and Fort Lauderdale down that area. It's always been like that down there, though. Oh, dude, there's people that are moving from there and coming up to Jacksonville. That's how bad it was. Yeah. They're moving from South Florida to North Florida. Yeah. Why? Because it's getting too expensive, probably. No, no, not only that. Yeah, it is. And not only that, it's because of the population. Some lady told me that the population is like, forget it. It's really bad. Yeah. Yeah, I believe that. It's also pretty expensive down there. And it's getting worse. Yeah. Boca Raton, West Palm Beach. And my friend lives in Weston, Florida. He has a detailed business down there. Weston. Where is that? Weston. Weston is like across from it's actually West, Fort Lauderdale's West to that. Okay. So you go west, you'll run it. It's around the middle. Oh, Fort Lauderdale, though. Yeah. But it's... Yeah, Tampa Bay is pretty cool. But it's getting crowded here, too, man. Like, traffic's getting pretty bad, honestly. I've been down here since 2019. And I've seen a big increase in just the past three, four years. Hey, where did you come from? Where did you live? Long Island? Yeah, Long Island. Oh, okay. Yeah, but Long Island, there's a lot of people there, too. Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, Long Island. That's, oh my God, New York. Forget it, man. And everybody from New York, where I was living in Warren County, everybody from New York was getting apartments over that way. In Jersey? Yeah, in Jersey. They were moving, a lot of New Yorkers were moving to that county, to Warren County, because it's one of the cheapest counties in New Jersey. Okay, yeah. Yeah, and actually, my daughter just bought a house in Warren County. What's property taxes like there? Oh, I'm not too sure, but actually, her mother, my girlfriend's mother, when we rented the townhouse, she was paying, she's paying five grand a year. She was, yeah, she was paying like, yeah. So down here, that's considered high. Yeah, exactly. It is. It kind of is, because like, I know with the increase in the property values here, through the past like two years, people were paying like 2,000 before, and now they're paying close to like 5,000. So it is a huge increase. But the thing is, man, you know what messed everything up? COVID messed everything up, because people... Yeah, of course. Yeah. Like, people are like, forget it. Like everything just went up, because people couldn't pay their rent. So now rents are freaking through the roof. I came down here. I came down. I was living in central Florida in Kasimi in 2012, 13 or 14. Yeah, I was living down here in 2012 to 2014, because I met this girl, and I got a divorce. Probably a different world back then, as far as prices, right? Dude, I was renting a house for 900 a month. It was a two bedroom house. It was like almost 1,500 square foot. It had a two car garage. So that's probably now going for like 2,500. Yes, it is. I checked it out. It is. It's 2,500 a month. Yup. If you want to rent a house like that. Yeah, it's insane. And with 920, 12. Yes. That sounds about right. Yeah. Yeah. That's what it is. And it was sick. It was freaking unbelievable. It was really sick. I can't... And now where we are, we're in Bartram Park in St. John's over here, up here in Jacksonville. We're in Bartram Park. Now this park where we live in, it's probably... You get the houses here are really nice, and it's worth the freaking money. It really is. Yeah. It's cheaper up there, right? Yeah. Well, I mean, it's 1,600, 1,700 for like... It's not that bad, but the square footage of the place is big. So it's almost shy of 1,000 square foot. You're in a house? Or an apartment? Apartment. Okay. Yeah. And like in a complex or like in a private house? No, it's a complex actually. So 1,600, 1,500 is like unheard of over here. You can't even get that anymore. No. Where you are? Uh-uh. It's probably like... What is it? Like 2,500? It's not as high as that. I'm paying like close to 2,100. Oh my God. Yeah. But it's a pretty nice place. Like it has nice amenities, like a cool pool and gym. Yeah, but you live in the community also, right? Yeah, it's a complex. It's a complex, yeah. Well, yeah, you got the pool, you got the gym, and you got... Yeah, it's nice. You know, it's like resort style stuff. Oh, okay. Do you have a garage too or no? No. I can get one, but I don't want to pay for one. Yeah, me too. I can get one too. Yeah, screw that. I'm not paying $150 for a garage. That's freaking insane. That's how much they go for over here. I think they might even be up to $200 now. Oh, somebody's going down. It's probably about that here. I didn't even ask. I don't need it. Yeah. The pool's enough. Yeah, exactly. We got two. We actually have two pools in this community. I can't believe it. We got two. So we got two gyms and two pools. Yeah. That's probably a big place. Yeah, it is. It's huge and it's really nice and there's no crime over here. I pay like $1,600 a month. That's what I'm paying about $16. Jeez, man. That's great. Yeah, not only that, for gas and electric, I only pay $80 a month for gas and electric. That's freaking unreal. Definitely cheaper up there. Yeah. But take advantage of the gym, you know? 24-7, it's open here. It's like the state-of-the-art gym, too. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I can go to my... I'm pretty sure we can go to the gym over here. I'm pretty sure we can go 24 hours. I don't see why not. Some of them close at a certain time. It depends what community you're in. I don't know. Kevin, did you ever go overnight to the gym here? Like, can you go in the gym here at overnight? I think you could because we got the key, right? Yeah, I think we could, yeah. Because they give us a key. Is it a fob? Yeah, exactly. Yeah, that's what they have here. You got a gated community, too? It is, yeah. Yeah, minus two, yeah. That's all that's basically in Florida, though. Florida has a lot of gated communities, which is pretty good. It does, yeah. Yeah, it does. Every area, even if you're not in an apartment, if you're in like an HOA community, you'll have a gated... It's always separated. Like, each neighbor... It's not even a neighborhood. It's just a community. Yeah, and everybody... And that's the good part. Yeah, because if you move in a bad area and you live in a gated community, that's pretty good. It doesn't, yeah, it doesn't matter. Because it's gated. It's still good. If the community is gated, there's not really going to happen. And everybody knows everybody. A fancy-ass community in the middle of like a crappy area. But... Well, the people, what they do, the only reason why these communities jack up the rent is because they don't want. They don't want the people that are like... The nasty people in the communities. They want the good people in there. That's why they jack the rental. I mean, I don't think that's the only reason why, but that does help. It keeps the riffraff out. Yup. Well, that's why some nightclubs wonder the reasons why they have a cover charge. They don't want low lives in their club. Yeah, what happened with Kenny, man? He's not doing his performance. How come Kenny doesn't join your thing? I don't know. He's because he's working graveyard shift of making... Yeah. Yeah, what's he doing? He's mixing dough. I hope he's taking a shower, dude. But he's filthy fingers. Yeah, he's... So, did you tell him? Did you tell Ronnie about Kenny? It's too long of a story. Yeah, you'll forget it. Kenny's going to do street performance in the Jersey City waterfront by the husband. Yeah, and he's going to get shot too, and they're going to throw him in the river. Oh, it's actually like hoboken now. It's really quiet and fixed up and everything. Oh, is it? Yeah. Oh, no. Jersey City waterfront is like... You can hear a pin drop. Oh, wow. But do you ever miss Jersey? Me? No. No. The only thing I miss in Jersey is I miss working for a couple places that I used to work for up there, and that's about it. You used to work for Home Depot, right? No, not Home Depot. Well, Home Depot. No, I left Home Depot as a bullshit up there. I worked for Lowe's, and I worked for a shop right up there. And I wish I could have started... Ronnie, you said you got fired because you told a joke? Oh, and Lowe's? Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. But that was the other Lowe's. That... See, what happened was... What happened was the Lowe's that I thought I was working at, I could have actually been a manager there and were in the garden center, but I never really... What do you call it? I had a move. I had a move and I was pissed. Then I left, and then I went to the Lowe's in Warren County and I was working with a bunch of kids. And then, you know, I'm just joking around and stuff like that. And I just cracked the freaking joke. And they freaking... They fired me for a freaking joke. And it wasn't even... James knows the joke, because James is the one that put it on the freaking... He put it on the messenger. So there were like a bunch of... Can you tell the joke? Pussies. It was just a joke. James, what was it again about like... It was so long ago. Yeah, no. It was... Oh, I still remember it. It's like the... What do you call it? Or the Olympics. She said they should have the Olympics. They should have masturbation for the Olympics now, because they got all the... They got everything else. The Shake Weight. They got all... Yeah, they got everything else, like all little stuff. The Shake Weight. Yeah, like all little stuff for the... For the Olympics and stuff. They're adding so much stuff through the Olympics. Badminton with the little feather that goes up in the air. Shovel car. Yeah, that's freaking the guy. You know what he said to me? The kid, he goes... The kid, he goes, Oh, ew. That's disgusting, man. And I look at him. I start laughing. I said, dude, are you freaking kidding me right now? That bothered you? And I walked away from him. Whatever, dude. Fucking pussy. That's why you got fired, huh? What a fucking pussy, man. Oh, I don't care. I got a job the next day after that. Anyway, fuck it. I thought it was worse than that. I thought it was like a racial joke or something. No. That wasn't nothing, dude. And then corporate calls me in there, like fucking all like... You're not to return back to work. And I was laughing on the phone. I said, lady, are you fucking kidding me right now? You're literally firing me for a joke. So you should fire the whole fucking place because all they're doing is joking around and cracking jokes. So maybe I should fucking put a complaint in, too, about the... But I found the... That's what I said to the lady. You think maybe they used that as an excuse, like they were trying to get rid of you? I think so. It might have been because you can't... And I don't know why because I was working. I was doing my job. So I don't know why they wouldn't want to fire me. I got the license for the machines. I was putting... I worked in the receiving department working with the dishwashers. Dishwashers were refrigerators. And I was putting stuff up in the racks. I was working. Maybe because you had a license, they had to pay you a certain amount and they didn't want to. Well, because you know what it was? No, I know what it was because I was like the oldest one working in there. And all the other ones, they were... They were fucking kids, man. They weren't even fucking 22 years old yet. They were like fucking kids, all of them. He was right. Ron, he was right. They wanted a cheaper workforce. Yeah, exactly. And they're rich kids and they're rich. Can you believe they gave me a crank call? James, I never told you this. Somebody called my phone and said that if I want my job back. And it was like a weekend. It was on the weekend. And I'm like, dude, are you fucking kidding me? I think I heard you say that before. Yeah, I'm like, dude, are you fucking out of your mind, bro? I'm like, dude, do you know... And I threatened him and he never called me back. And I said, bro, I know exactly where you're calling from. Like I played stupid where I knew where he's calling from. I'm like, I got your phone tapped, dude. I'm like, let me tell you something. I'm like, I know who you are and I'm gonna come after you. You better stop calling me. He called me twice. Like no, like three times. And he kept calling me on a fucking weekend on a Saturday night or a Sunday night. I'm like, dude, are you fucking serious? They got nothing to do these fucking rich kids, bro. So you think that was the guy that told you? He told you? Oh, so it was one of the guys and they must have got my phone number. I don't know how they got my phone number. But to tell you the truth, they might have got my phone number because they were always by the computers. And they worked in the receiving department and we have access to internet access. So I guarantee it. They looked up my fucking name or something and they got my information. I don't know how the fuck they got my phone number because I never gave my phone number to none of them. I don't know how they got it. Yeah, I don't know how they got it. What do you think of that, James? Unless they're parents or somebody, they're in law enforcement or something, I have no idea. What do you think about these kids calling up, Mr. Clean, harassing them? They have too much time in their hands? Yeah. It's crazy. Maybe they don't have any girlfriends. Otherwise they wouldn't be... I had a couple guys that work with me. They called me and they asked me how I'm doing it, whatever, but it wasn't them, though. It wasn't them. It was literally... It's freaking nuts. So you had a license to operate the forklift? Yeah. Yeah, you've got to get the license over there. The... Yeah, I noticed this guy who has a forklift... His whole life is a career in a warehouse driving a forklift, but he's in a union. See, if you've got a good union, you know... Yeah, the union is real good. And you're experienced with the forklift. Do you know, by law, if you work for the union and you work there for like, I think it's 90 days, by law, they have to put you full-time. They can't... They cannot leave you... Yeah, they cannot leave you part-time if you're in the union. I've heard about that. My friend from Publix was telling me... Oh, Publix? Fuckin' Publix took over everything in Florida. Yeah, fuckin' Publix, man. Their fuckin' management sucks in that fuckin' place is... They suck. All supermarket jobs suck. Oh, no, actually, from what I've heard, if you work at Publix, you get stock options. Yeah, but you get... You know when you get them? You have to be there two fucking years before you get them. And you've got to be there a year, one year, before you get full-time and before you get benefits. That's fucking awesome. I heard that there's managers there that make like 100 grand. I don't know if that's definitely true. No, it is true. Yeah, they do. They make a lot of fucking money. That's pretty good for a supermarket, making 100 grand. Yeah, they make a lot of money. And believe... But they gotta put up with a lot of shit, too. Because that's probably why I'm in there. My manager is the way he is. They put up a lot of shit at, like, shop rate, and they're not making 100 grand. No. I don't think so. I think it might be. Or maybe the store managers. The store managers not making 100 grand. The general store managers, not department managers. No, department managers, I don't think so. Is that right, James? Well, it depends on the shop right now. It depends what kind of business they're doing. If it's jam-packed towards the end of the week, or if it's one of those supermarkets popular, the store manager... I mean, when I was a kid, the store manager was making 150 grand. Not when you were a kid? No, I was a kid. I'm sorry. When I was 1990s, he was talking, he was telling me. This guy named, his last name was McCarthy, and he told me I'm making 150 grand because this is a popular store. Where was that? That's popular. Crazy. Well, at that time it was Pathmark. Supermarkets. Pathmark, Pathmark. They went under. Remember Pathmark? Yeah, they went belly up. They were part of A&P. A&P owned them. And then A&P owned Wallbombs, too. Wallbombs? I think it was like 2015. A&P went bankrupt. So Pathmark and Wallbombs, they're both out. What about King Cullen? King Cullen is still around. They're still around, but I don't think they're as strong as they used to be. Wow. It's Safeway. Well... I think the main supermarket up there now is Shoprite from what I see. Yeah, Shoprites are doing pretty good. Well, now we have Acme Supermarkets that I think the company came from Philadelphia originally. I think Acme in there. And you have Lytle, too, right? You got that up there. That might be South Jersey. Lytle? Yeah, Lytle's in Long Island. And then, what do you call them? James. James, I'm going to go. I'll call you tomorrow. Okay. Yeah, I'll be on tomorrow afternoon. All right, guys. All right. All right. Yeah, I had Acme starting to have a lot of organic foods and specialty foods because they're competing with whole foods in Trader Joe's over here and they're becoming popular in New Jersey. North Jersey, both of them. And so, Acme, in order to compete, they're starting to have a lot of specialty items and what do you call them? And organic foods at a fraction of what the whole foods is charged because it's, you know. Oh, yeah, whole foods is out of, it's just. Yeah, some people call it whole paycheck as a joke. It could be, yeah. I went there a couple of times and I was just blown away by the prices and I never went back. Amazon owns it, you know, Bezos, they own whole foods. Now, the good thing about whole foods, I only get a few items there. Like I go to the bulk area and I get the organic brown basmati rice, you know, it's like a silo. It goes, you open it up and it goes right in the bag. Yeah, so I guess you can pick out a few things but you're not going to do your whole shopping there. No, no, no. But I get, you could return Amazon items. They have a desk, they have a return desk in whole foods where you don't have to put, if you want to return something, you don't have to put it back in a box. You can just like, just bring it, you go on your phone and you request a refund, a return. Return, you tell them where you're going to bring it to a certain whole foods, you request it, they refund you. When you bring the item, they'll scan your QR code on the phone. So you hold your phone up, they scan it and you get your refund right away. You just, you know, give the product to the girl. And that's it. Sounds good to me. Anything you buy from? Any, yeah, any, practically anything you buy from Amazon that you want to return. So now you don't have to package it in the mail and send it, ship it out and pay for the shipping. Okay. Coder, you know, well first you generate the QR code for your return. And then when you go up to the whole foods counter, that's only for Amazon Returns. You hold up your phone, they scan the QR code and that's it. All right, that's good to know. Yeah, you know, because it's a real hassle to ship things back. You know, sometimes Amazon will say there's no return on that item, but we'll give you a refund, keep it or give it away or do whatever you want with it. You're not happy with it. We'll give you the refund. You don't have to return it. So one time I ordered something and I wasn't happy with it because I guess I didn't give it a chance to finagle with it, you know. So I was ready to return. They said, oh, it's not returnable, but it's refundable. We'll refund it. Do whatever you want, give it away, throw it away. I go, all right. Then I started fussing with it and I fixed the problem. So I ended up with a free item that I'm using. You know what it was? It was a clamp, a clip-on gooseneck lamp. You know, you can bend it any which way you want. Yeah. Okay. And it has a clamp so you can clip it. And I was having an issue positioning the gooseneck. It wasn't going where I wanted. Then what I thought was, okay, it's got a long gooseneck. Why don't I just curl the gooseneck into a spiral like a snake? And then it worked. So sometimes you get lucky and you end up with a freebie. Yeah, they just didn't want to be bothered, was it? Yeah. It wasn't worth it to them. I don't understand why occasionally some items are not returnable, but they're refundable. They don't want to be bothered with it. It's more of a hassle for them to take it back. So they're just like, okay, take the refund. Yeah, and you know, it works fine. I got it. Actually, I needed it for my lizard, but then I ended up using it for the cactuses. I have a plant bulb in there, like a plant grow light. So I got the grow light, LED grow light, and it's nice. It's got like a purplish color, you know, almost like a black light. And you know, it's a very versatile lamp for anybody. Like if you want a lamp, you want, you could clamp it to, if somebody has a headboard on their bed and they want a reading lamp, you just clamp it to the back and you could bend it any which way. You can use it, you know, very versatile. But anyway, Jason goes to a lot of sporting events. I told him, I says the food is a real rip-off at the stadium. Yeah, of course it is. It's just a free experience, you know. You expect to pay a lot of money for a food and drink. Well, you're paying a lot of money for the tickets. Not always. Sometimes you can get a decent ticket. But the food, you know, the drinks are always expensive. Sometimes you can get a decent ticket. If you go to someone of these real expensive, like if you go to Yankee Stadium, you're not going to get a decent ticket. Because Yankees are always under a spotlight, magnified less. It's just one of those teams, you know. But there's teams out there. City field charges a lot for their hot dogs. Yeah, but that's what I'm saying. Every stadium you go to, you're going to pay for the food. But you can sometimes get a decent ticket. You sometimes can get a $10 ticket. Like the Tampa Bay Rays, you can get $10 tickets. But you're still going to pay $10 for a beer. But if you just go there and you don't drink, or you just have one drink, it's only $10 to get in. So one glass of beer at the stadium is 10 bucks. One glass. And that's what it is in most stadiums. And is it a craft beer? Is it a macro? They'll give you a big Budweiser. So it's actually like two beers in one glass. Oh, it's like a pint. Yeah, a little bit bigger than a pint. Yeah, so like... So I mean really $10. You're actually paying $10 for two beers technically. So that's not too bad. I know some of the bar, there was this Irish sports bar that we used to hang out at. And they had bands on the weekend. And they had a good DJ. But at that time, they had good food. So we used to go there. And one night they had a special bring your largest whatever from home. And, you know, we'll fill it with beer for the price of a small beer, you know, a regular glass. But you can bring the biggest thing you have. So people were coming in with like pictures. Sure. I'll be back in one second. Make sure you entertain the crowd. Yeah, the Yankees. Okay, folks, welcome to progressive discussions. There's a possibility maybe. Mick von Raven. He decided to go out with that girl. They're having a great time. And maybe they're in the sack right now. That's probably why Mick didn't. Yeah, like Mick was he was free, but he was to be he met this new girl. And he had a date and well, he didn't plan on the date. But she is certain things what he didn't like about her was she don't want to talk on the phone. She she went from texting him to wanting to meet face to face somewhere and he wanted to talk to her. You know, maybe how to do a video chat or just talk to her on the phone, you know, instead of right away meeting her. But she don't want to do it. She wanted to meet. I says, well, Mick, it sounds like a red flag. I said, you know, she could be like a dinner and drink for her. And she just uses guys to, you know, pay pay. That's the only one way to find out. It's worth a shot, you know what I mean? But or you can you could meet her right away. And you could hit her. You could hit it off. Yeah. You never know. So what must have happened is he met her. He he meets a lot of people and he gets together because he's like, he's a very horny guy. That's how he is. And maybe they hit it off. And, you know, that's why I didn't hear from them. Usually if I text them, he gets right back to me. Okay. You know, but that could be it. So when I go live tomorrow, he'll probably tell me how it went, you know, as it's a man cave show. So, you know, it'll be the perfect place to tell stories. Now, what I'm going, what I'm going to mention as a tip is that my brother-in-law was right. He says, soak your razor in alcohol. Put it in a little cup or container of alcohol and keep it there. And what that does is eliminates all moisture from the razor. Yeah. It extends the life of the razor and it keeps it sharp. You get more shapes at it. I tried it. Lo and behold. It works. It works. It must be like oxidation that takes place when the razor's wet. Yeah. You know, so normally I would get one shave and it goes dull on me. Then I have to flip it around the other side because I use like the old fashioned one. But now, so far I've gotten two on one side. I'll see if I can go for three. And I use the Wilkinson sword blades, the double edge. What happened to Goldsmith? He was telling me the other day that he doesn't know what to do. Should I go out earlier on a Saturday? Should I go out later? Should I go out and stay out all night? I don't know what to do, blah, blah, blah. I says, you know, you're dealing with the fickle finger of fate, you know, destiny. Nobody knows. He's asking you if he should stay out all night. He should, when he should go out, if he should go out, if he should not go out. Is he still doing like the solo shows on his channel? Nah, he don't, he stopped doing it on Instagram. I haven't seen them. But he is doing, he does do solo on YouTube. That's what I was talking about. Yeah, yeah, he doesn't. It's just that, you know, I says none of us really know that. We don't know. I says, you know how many times, you know how many times I went to a crowded dance club and it's crowded, it's noisy. You can't really hear people when they talk to you and, you know, thousand and one time I didn't meet nobody in a crowded dance club. Then all of a sudden I would meet somebody, you know, during the daytime somewhere, you know, it could be, it could be anywhere, really. I mean, yeah, yeah, it could be online. It could be in a market, you know, it is that things work out outside of the dance club because honestly, the DJs, they last the music so loud, you really can't converse. It's too loud. It's, you know, like when I, I was able to. It's not set up for that. It's more like you just go there. No, yeah. I think it's about people getting on the dance floor and drink and buying a lot of drinks because they're thirsty and going back on the dance floor. I don't, it's not about chit chat, you know. There he is. Oh, oh, he, he, he, he, oh, he went solo instead of coming here. Oh, he's a, he's a rascal. He's a sneaky, he's a sneaky rascal. He's a, maybe he likes to be in the spotlight. He wants to be a superstar. What does he talk about on those things? I think you already know. I don't actually, I haven't seen it. Well, if you look at the title, yeah. He doesn't like rich people. I know that was one thing. Well, he talks about you can't trust or believe women that are drunk. Well, I, I, I could have told him that. I can't believe this. There's more, I've met more bullshit artists that were drunk than sober. Yeah. You know, you never, you really never know what's around the corner. I mean, I was able to get in bars when I was 18. That was the legal drinking age. I was too. 18 is all going there. And but, but you could talk because the DJ wasn't blasting it. Well, what about like a disco club? Then you could still talk. But now, now it's, you can talk. Well, we're talking about a totally different world. When I was in the disco club. You went to play those retreat, right? Yeah. Well, I was there once. So what happened was you can, the music was loud, but not too loud where you can't talk. But people slow dance at the end. They played, they played at the very end before closing time. They played slow songs. Girls and guys danced back then. But then once you got into the, into the 90s. And techno came around in the 90s, the 2000s. Girls, girls stood with their girlfriends. Guys danced by themselves. Now I said girls didn't dance together. You got to go to a Spanish club. Yes, because you have to, you have to dance with the opposite gender because that's how the music is. But if you go to an American club, they don't really dance like that. No, no. You go to a Latin club, they just, they dance salsa, moringa. Now salsa is like professional ballroom dancing. You have to be good at it. You have to know what you're doing. It's not easy. It isn't easy. It's not easy. It's like if you went to, if you took dancing lessons in the studio and you learned ballroom dancing, you have to follow the steps. But you can learn. Yeah, no, no, no. You put the effort in. My uncle taught me because he was, he worked for Gene Kelly. He was a ballroom dancing teacher and he competed. So he taught me and my mom some things and I could do it. But the person you're with has to know what they're doing too. You can't be carrying somebody who's got two left feet. You know, you got to know, but it's, it's, it's classy looking. It's, it's, it's like, if you ever see the movie with Vanessa Williams go dance with me. If you, if you like great salsa and, and top of the line dancing, Latin dancing, that movie is the best. And if she learned from this guy, Cuban guy and they started, You gotta tell Western Goldsmith about this stuff. Now Western Goldsmith can be having a real good, robust conversation with me and you getting advice. They might not have very good Latin clubs in San Francisco. I don't know. And I doubt it because San Francisco is like, like it has a very high gay population. It does. Right. Yeah. Not really. It's not known for its Latin population. Maybe LA. They do have a huge China town though, San Francisco. LA is multi-ethnic. You know, they have, that's far away though. San Francisco is Northern California, right? Yeah. Yeah. But Mexican, Mexican population and like LA and San Diego, they, they don't dance salsa. Nah. Salas is Caribbean. Salas is Caribbean Latin. Yeah. And it's great. It's more of a New York thing or Florida. Yeah. Well, that's how 1980s freestyle music, they were all, they were all New York Puerto Ricans from New York. Yeah. All those singers. What's that? Melendez. Who's it? George LeMond. Yeah. Yeah. All the top singers from freestyle. Judy Torres, you know, they were all like New York. Puerto Ricans, J. Lo was, but she, you know, she just did choreography. She was one of the fly girls on the show called The Living Color. Yeah. With Jim, with Jim Carrey and the Wayans Brothers. Yep. So San Francisco, there's a lot of gay people. Yeah. Not a very good nightlife. Key West, Florida is like gay people, Provincetown, Cape Cod, I heard. But Key West has got a lot. No, they got a nightlife, but it's, they're having a problem with poverty. Almost, almost. Because a lot of LA, LA's got like almost 50,000 homeless people, like living in tents. The state's kind of messed up, right? Yep. Look at the cost of living. It's like a really, the cost of living. Really, really bad. It's astronomical. What does Goldsmith do for a living over there? He says he has a government job, but I don't know. He has a career with the government. An FBI agent? He looks like an FBI agent. He looks like he can be like a Secret Service. That's Secret Service, but he could definitely be like a Fed. Like a FBI, like Infiltrator. You think they should, they should do a series, a private investigator. Like he can be like, like Magnum PI or, you know, he could be. I think he can do that. Yeah. Yeah. Michael Goldsmith, Michael Hilton, private investigator. Mm-hmm. Maybe that's what he is. He just doesn't want to tell you. Yeah. He dresses well. He's got nice suits. Like he goes to a haberdashery. I mean, I hope he's, I hope that he's not all dressed up for no place to go, you know. Maybe he's a firefighter. That's a government job, right? Firefighter. I mean, you're a urinate on the fire. Fights fires. He fights fires. With his fancy clothes. Well, I know he likes, he likes hot sauce. So, you know, you can always start off small. Or, um, maybe he's an Uber driver. I don't know if yet. I could picture him as an Uber driver. I don't know if he has a license. No. You mean, you mean a Uber driver with a tricycle? I didn't know, I didn't know he didn't have a license. A Chinese rickshaw. You know, he could pull. He did say that, right? He's always, he talks about like taking a bus around and stuff. Yeah. He takes public transportation, you know. He's in a nice condo. How is he, I don't think he's paying for. San Francisco has good public transportation. Yeah. It's like anywhere else, you know. Vehicles got four tires. They goes forward. Some cities are better than others, you know. Oh, um, you know, I never asked them really. They do have a city with good transportation, would have light rails, regular trains. I know they say Los Angeles doesn't have good public transportation. Like you have to have a car to live with. Well, it's sprawled out. Yeah. It's sprawled out big. You're right. It doesn't. San Diego doesn't, you gotta have to have a car. Uh, you know, they have, they have a, uh, they have a hundred percent electric buses now. But I think the rail is better. I think the light rail. They're supposed to be building a high speed rail from Tampa to Orlando. So start. To start. If they, if they, I mean, look, Europe, Japan, and China has the bullet train, the high speed rail. These, we have the, we have the grayhound. These, these countries also have a clean subway. I repeat, very clean. Did they push each other on the subway? You know, there's no, there's no, there's no, um, mental cases from, um, um, the New York subway is like scary, man. Yeah, you, you've got these, um, people that were let out of mental institutions. They're not even that, that mental institution stuff. They closed back in the 80s. So 40 years ago. They got the people that, that are, that's not even an excuse anymore. Maybe that was an excuse in the 90s and the, well, first of all, never stand at the edge looking for your train. No, don't do that. Oh, your train will come. Your train will come. Stand in the middle and just chill out and your train will come. There's no need yet. Unless they're, unless they're, you know, you'll hear it. The New Yorker is so much in a hurry to, you'll hear the train coming. Yeah. I mean, why stand at the edge so somebody can push you? I don't know. You know, I don't know. And it's filthy. They're filthy. It's 30, right? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, uh, And then there's like somebody playing, uh, like a guitar or something and they want to get tips. Oh, you mean like, like all the, uh, the bone, the wine nose and bums that are, they have no talent and they, they want to get it. They want to get it. Some of them are pretty good. Oh, you know where I see, you know where I see good ones? The seventh avenue train station where the big McDonald's is, you know, Times Square, 40 seconds street. Yeah. Yeah. On the corner. That's it. That's where the naked cowboy is. You see, you've seen that before? Oh, the buckaroo with the, what does he wear? A Speedo or? Yeah. Speedo and he has a cowboy hat on. And I think he plays a guitar too. So he has to, you know, when tourists go to New York City, they go to see these stupid people. He must pay, he must pay a lot of money for that spot. He has it. I don't think he does because, um, the police have pushed him out of there and then he comes back. So I don't think he's paying for the spot. Yeah. Because it's kind of, it's, it's pretty gay to wear a Speedo because you can see somebody's friggin bulge. It's an attraction. And then tourists go and take pictures with them and he charges them. Yeah. Those are the ones that pay attention to them, the tourists. You know, because they hear about it, word of mouth. Oh, you go, when you go to New York at Times Square, you got to see this guy. He's wearing this. The naked cowboy. I don't know if he's still there, that's a few years ago. I remember that though. I think, I think one time, he must have gave it up, I think one time Bob Backlund was there when he was trying to sell his gym in a box that, you know, had the step. Yeah. The gym in a box, it was made by some carpenter that he knows it's a, it's a box, opens up and you could do step ups with it. And then there was the wheel and he was doing the wheel. Was it like he was kidding, like the gimmick thing? Yeah, it was a gimmick thing. Was that in the 90s or when he came back like, because I know he came back in like 2016 to wrestling. Yeah. Well, not, not when he turned heel in the 90s, right? Yeah, I don't think that when he turned heel and he became like a Republican with the, with the red. Oh yeah, that was in the 20, that was 2016. The red suspenders and the red bull. And he was saying he was going to make wrestling great again, I think, something like that. Yeah, and he was running for congressman or something. You know why he turned heel? Because he was pissed off. They stopped that gimmick. They just like pulled a plug on that one. Yeah, they did. He was, he was very angry at Arnold Schoen for throwing in the towel. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. That's how he lost a sheik, right? Yeah, you see what happened was he, the sheik was challenging people to swing the Persian clubs. Nobody could do it. Nobody believed me. They had power lifters, bodybuilders. Did they, they had the ultimate, a young ultimate warrior, nobody could do it. The Commodore can do it, right? No, he actually, no, he only uses one. He only uses one. I can do, I can do the iron sheik toro with the lighter ones. So what happened was he, Bob Backland couldn't swing the iron sheik's clubs in reality. So they had to make a lighter pair for Bob Backland that were white. I don't know if you, if you, if you go back and YouTube, you'll find the video. They were white and they had to make a lighter pair for him and he can barely swing those. So he did this in the ring? Yeah. Yeah, on the TV, TV tape. So iron sheik got pissed that he was even able to swing even though they were in his club. So he hit him from behind. The club hit Backland and back at an XO. Backland had an injury. Now going into the title defense match, he already had an injury. And he, Bob Backland didn't want to say, look, I'm hurt. I can't, I can't, I can't defend the title. Iron sheik puts them in a camel clutch. Arnold Skowlin throws in a towel because Bob Backland wouldn't give up. Yeah, I know that. But he couldn't get out. So he throws the towel and then all the next. Back then, back then they didn't tap out, right? No, they told the referee I give up. Yeah. I think they didn't, they didn't start doing the tap out until Ken Shamrock came in. Right. MMA people now. Right. He, the following TV taping, he, he had some words to say to his manager Arnold Skowlin. He has something to tell him. Then Bob Backland went berserk. He attacked Arnold Skowlin and he put him in the cross face. He was, he was right. You know, he didn't want to give up. He didn't want to give up. So you got to see, I understand his point of view. I mean, he didn't want to, he didn't want to give up. The guy just threw in the towel. Yeah. Threw in the towel and he put the chicken wing. Did Arnold Skowlin have any stock in the WWF at the time? He did, right? Yeah. So did Guerrilla Monson. I know Guerrilla Monson did, yeah. He, Arnold Skowlin was Bruno San Martino's manager. Oh, he was San Martino's manager? Yeah. Yeah. And Guerrilla Monson managed Pedro Morales when he had the belt. Now, then San Martino. When Morales was, was a face, right? Morales was always the face. Okay, because Guerrilla Monson used to be a heel. And then he became a face and then he retired. And then he was a face commentator. But, you know, Morales had the belt for like three years, you know. He beat Ivan Koloff. And, oh, okay. In 1970, he beat Koloff and then he had it for three years. And then Stasiak, he dropped the belt to Stasiak three years later. And then Stasiak lost it right away. To Bruno. Yeah, he didn't have it that long. I mean, not right away, but, you know, the next paper view. And then Bruno lost it to Superstar Billy Graham. And he lost it to Billy Graham, lost it to Backland, right? Backland, but they were both lost the same way. It was the, the feet up on the ropes, ropes. Yeah, because they can never have a clean finish. It's like stupid. Yeah, like, like when Backland put Billy Graham when he did the atomic knee drop and he went for the pin, Billy Graham put, had his leg on the rope and the referee idiot, they believe he didn't see it or whatever. And then when, when you think of the booking at the time, it's so cartoony. And people ate it all up. Well, not only that, they didn't have padding outside the ring there. There was concrete floor. Well, yeah, it looked realer. But I mean, just the booking of the title changes is just screwy. And because they didn't want to put anybody over. The belts, the belts weren't that pretty looking. They weren't that great. They're better than they are now. But they're ridiculous now. The only old belt that I would, that really impressed me was the big belt. The intercontinental was nice. No, no, the one that riffed, the one they made for riffing. Big, big old belt, yeah. The NWA, they call it the big gold belt. But the, the Hulk Hogan belt, the eagle one, that was nice too in the 80s. Is that the green one? No, it was the bald eagle one. They had that for a while, even into the 90s, like Shawn Michaels had in, I think, even Stone Cold. I told Jason, Jason was saying how much he loves the American national anthem. I said, I said, Francis Scott Key. You know, that was, that was written by a socialist, right? Or that was the star, the star spangled. No, no, the national anthem. It was written by a socialist. Oh, say, can you, can you say, you know, you know, it's the best song for the United States is Hulk Hogan's I Am A Real American. Oh yeah, definitely. That's a very. And what was the one that Reagan used to put when he was campaigning? Born in the USA. Hey, they should have done the, you know, that's all right. They should have played Phil Collins, Genesis, with the puppets. You know, Reagan was a puppet. Well, they, so he, so Reagan was playing the born in the USA song. And then I don't know. Land of confusion. I don't know what band that's from, but they got pissed off because they didn't give him permission to do it. And they got, they contacted his campaign and were complaining. Like, what are you doing? Yeah, well, Trump, Trump did that too. You got to get Trump was using the YMCA song. You got to get authorization before you start. Trump used the YMCA song and he would, and he would dance. And macho man, macho man. Yeah, yeah. Trump was doing this. Now both, both of those songs, the macho man and the YMCA, they have a gay connotations, right? Like they're part of like the, well, the village, the village people, they were gay. Yeah. So, um, it's interesting that Trump shows those songs and they say that he's anti-gay, right? Well, he probably grew up during the disco. No, he was old. He's, yeah, he was big in the 80s, but he was already a grown man by that time. Well, 80, he's not that young. He was dating a lot of chicks. Yeah, yeah. He was living life. He was a playboy. Just got to start kissing them, start feeling them up and they like that. He's kid. Grabbed by the coachy. Grabbed by the coachy. Now, do you think he turned Atlantic City around? Or that he was a bad influence on Atlantic City? Atlantic City? It's a slum. It's still a slum. It used to be, I mean, in the 80s, it was, it was pretty nice, right? It, well, let's put it this way. The, the slum is receding away from the ocean. It used to be, it used to be the next block over. This was all slum. And, you know, panhandlers and thugs. Yeah. And crime. Now they're right on the boardwalk. But, you know, they, they said that the casino gambling was going to revitalize Atlantic City. No. So now they, the casinos, they bought Pacific Avenue, which is the street and the land on the other side of the casino, on the front side of the casino. So they, they built that whole area. But the bums from the ghetto are, are still wandering over by the boardwalk. Yeah. Bothering people. And you have to do like a cleaning up, not just of the boardwalk in Atlantic City, but actually of the whole area. Cops don't, the cops don't do shit because. It's not the cops. You know, it's not the cops that are going to do it. I mean, I'm talking about like investing money into. You mean like, like gentrifying the neighborhood? Yeah, I mean, police just being bullies and that's not a solution. But, you know, cleaning up the whole entire thing and it's not, not just the casino area. It has to be the surrounding areas because that's where the problems come from. Well, Atlantic City, Atlantic City government was riddled with corruption and. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I suppose that New Jersey itself is just very corrupt. Yes. Yes. Patterson, Patterson, like, like when they were, when Patterson was asking for more and more federal money and, and at that time, Chris Christie was the government. He says, what happened to all the money we gave you? Where is it? Well, they pocketed it. That's what happened to it. And, and he says, no, he says, we gave you a lot of money. You know, where, you know, where is, where is the proof that you're spending it on the betterment of Patterson, New Jersey? Where was the evidence that this money is going to the right at being allocated to right areas? They couldn't show anything. Um, New Jersey is a lost cause. Yeah. You got Camden that, you know, they built the New Jersey State Sea Aquarium in. No work. Camden, Camden is, is a shit hole. I think Camden is one of the worst cities in the country. Yeah. Why they built the sea aquarium because they felt they got this neoliberal mentality. Yeah, they'd have to act like that. They care about the blacks. Oh, they, they think that it makes them look good. The sea aquarium is going to do something miraculous to Camden. It didn't do a damn thing. How could it do anything for Camden? It's, it sits there. People pay to go inside and, and see the, the aquarium. Did you pay? Going? No, I wouldn't even, I wouldn't drive into that neighborhood. They, they build. How hard is that from you? Listen, they build the Prudential Center and knew it, right? Prudential, is that where the nets used to play? That's where like the New Jersey Devils are playing now. And the Devils. I think, yeah, I think the, you know, um, the basketball team. They, yeah, the basketball. They used to play there, right? Yeah, before they went to Brooklyn. Yeah, yeah. The New Jersey Nets and the Devils played at the, uh, indoor arena by the metal lands, by Giant State. And then, and then they all of a sudden, they moved them to the new building called the Prudential Center in Newark. And they, they said some, well, you know, we got the, the trains go there and more people can, can go there by training. It's probably easier to get there from New York. Yeah, yeah. Correct. Yeah. Yeah. But it's in Newark. I mean, how, people that have cars, do they really want to drive into, into the shit hole? But if you, if you can take the train in, they have a good point because you don't want to take your car in. But if you can take public transportation quickly and then when the game's over, you get quickly get out because you don't want to stay there. Right. Well, if they can do that with Yankee Stadium. They, they do do it with Yankee Stadium and they definitely do it with Cityfield. Cityfield is easy to get in and out of. You know, park their car in a parking lot, get on New Jersey transit train to rail, take the train into New York, Manhattan. What is it? Grand Central or the Penn Station, Penn Station. And then from Penn Station, hop on another rail to Yankee Stadium and then they take, take some back again. What are you saying? Like they should do or that's what they do. They, they could, they could set up light rails to go to every stadium. They do though. They already have that. They have that. They have the center of Madison train into Yankee Stadium. Easily. You have to take the subway though, I think. But I honestly, I don't really go to the Yankee Stadium, but Cityfield is very, very accessible from the long line on the railroad. They have their own stop and you get out. It's called Mets Willett's Point. You get out there and then you walk across this like boardwalk thing and they're selling beer and they're selling like, you know, like shirts and stuff along the way and it brings you right into the front of the stadium. You're right. That's a lot, that's a lot better than people having to take a subway to South Park. I think you have to take a subway to Yankee. So yeah, that's a, that's a bit more. Yeah. I mean, that's what Cityfield is, is extremely accessible from Long Island easily. It's very, very easy. Queens is big. Queens is a big borough. There are nice. And it's not all the way up north like the Bronx is. Bronx is a little tougher. Yeah. The Bronx is close to like Yonkers and I guess Westchester County and Westchester. But I don't think you can see, I don't know. Yeah. You probably could take a train from Westchester. The only part of the Bronx that looked nice and it didn't even look like New York was City Island. City Island. City Island. There's a huge park, very quiet there. City Island. You can hear a pin drop. The residential area there is like all manicured and peaceful and quiet. All you see is marinas with boats, restaurants, seafood, you know, and bars and clubs. It's really nice. But the rest of the... Is that where you took Ron to? You went to a seafood place? Yeah. We went to Johnny's Reef. It's a 75-year-old restaurant. He seemed to enjoy that place. Let me tell you, it's the best fried calamari I've ever had in my life. And the milkshakes there were pretty damn good. Yeah. He had booze, of course. You know, he had jumbo shrimp salad. Yeah, he likes seafood. Yeah. I had the fried calamari with an extra-large chocolate shake. And it was perfect. I know he travels around a lot. He goes to... He tries to go to all the baseball stadiums. He's been to the Bronx and Queens before. Yeah. He's been to the Italian neighborhood. He wanted to take me to the Italian neighborhood in the Bronx. And we had flash floods. It was a terrible thunderstorm. The whole trip was kind of crappy, actually, right? Yeah, the weather was really bad. What he should have done, only because he had to follow his itinerary. He couldn't break his itinerary. I said to him, when he was by Alex in South Jersey, I said, because Alex lives near Philly. Yeah, which is pretty far away from... Two hours. So I said to him, look, we're going to get hit with a really bad flash flood thunderstorm today. I says, why don't you spend extra night, spend a night down in Alex's area, Cherry Hill, whatever hell he's from, spend an extra night. And then when you come up here, it'll be beautiful weather. And then we can do a lot of things. He says, oh, no, no, I have a set schedule, my itinerary. I says, sure enough. And he was upset. Well, yeah, the weather is whatever it is. It is what it is, but now he's been all over the country. That I know. Yeah, he's been in every state. He's been to Bronx before. I think he goes to the ballparks. He goes to all the baseball, say, which is pretty cool that he could do that. Canned in yards in Baltimore. He's been to all of them, I think. Chicago, White Sox, Kamiski Park. That's pretty impressive thing to do. No, just think about it. He drove from southeast Louisiana. He always drives? He doesn't take the plane? No, he drove from southeast Louisiana. And he insisted not to take any toll roads. He wanted to take all the back roads for free. Really? And that's what he does, huh? And I guess he can because he's retired. So he's got time. I mean, you know how much driving that is? Yeah, it's a lot. I would pass out just. But you know what, also, you get to see, like you get to drive through the towns and see what they look like. Instead of you're always just on the highway all the time. Yeah, like if he would have took a major highway, went east to I-90, forgot on I-95 north. He would have saw stuff, but you know, like you said, he like he don't want to take the New Jersey Turnpike I-95. He want he took some back roads highway through Pennsylvania. So that's a lot of driving. It's a lot of driving. When you get to the sightseeing, you get to see different parts of each state. But to drive, and he knew about the storm that was coming, but his daughter told him. So you can't, when it comes to the weather, you can't go by a rigid, itinerary, you know, a rigid schedule because I told him, you wait another day and the weather will be perfect. It's supposed to be clear tomorrow. Nope, he couldn't break it. So he came up. He says, this is not fun, this is not fun, this is not fun. He went, oh, he was upset. He was upset. I says, no, you know, I'm sorry, I'm sorry about the weather, but you know, there's nothing I can do about it. I mean, I told him. It's funny, I was actually up there visiting family at the same exact time. And I was in the airport, I was at LaGuardia at one o'clock in the morning. I was supposed to take a flight out of there at like 10, but they kept delaying it because of this storm that was happening. Finally, at one o'clock in the morning, they just canceled it and they said, you know, screw off. We don't care, you know. It was, it was frontier airlines. This is like the worst airline. Frontier airlines. I was screwed. It was the middle of the night and I was stuck in Queens. You know what happened one time? Member Hurricane Andrew, are you a problem? I was like a baby at the time. Yeah, I think it was her. I know about it though. Yeah, Andrew was in the early 90s, like 92, I think. Okay, this is what happened. Hurricane Andrew is making its way north and it's headed right for New Jersey. You had it right for Newark Liberty Airport. Whatever was left of it, it was in the hurricane. It was like tropical storm, Andrew. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, because that swept through Florida and it destroyed a lot of Florida. Yeah, tropical storm. Not good weather to take off in a plane. So they had the Mexican, we were going to Cancun. So the Mexican pilot had an idea. He wasn't going to fly into the storm and fly south. That's good. The plane started shaking from the wind, the wings. Everything is shaking. I'm going, what the fuck? What's going to happen? Everything's vibrating. So he takes off and instead of flying towards the storm, into the storm, he flies west and he breaks out of the storm and he flies all the way to Cincinnati, Ohio. He said, it was clear. He said, look, look out the window. There's Cleveland. There's Cincinnati. And then from Cincinnati, Ohio, he knew he was away from the hurricane, far away. And then he started going south towards the Gulf, towards Cancun. Where did he take off from? What airport? Newark Liberty. They, I'm surprised they even let him leave. I'm surprised. They probably wouldn't do that these days. I'm surprised they didn't cancel the flights. That's what I mean. I mean, they probably wouldn't let them do it. I mean, how could they let anybody land or take off? During a hurricane? During a hurricane that was really bad when it hit Florida. So when it came up here, it was kind of like Sandy. Yeah. Well, Sandy was pretty bad too, but they only called it a Superstorm. Well, was it Category 1 or was it a little weaker? No, it was a Superstorm. By the time it hit New York, they wanted to call it a Superstorm. Well, Sandy did a lot of damage. It most definitely did. I had no power for over a week. Well, yeah. And the Brooklands, I mean, some Coney Island. It was all flooded out. Anything on the south shore got screwed up. There's a theory that by the time it made it to New York, the federal government wanted to call it a Superstorm instead of a hurricane, so that they didn't have to pay out FEMA money to New York. I don't know if that's so true, but I was there and I can tell you it certainly seemed like it was a hurricane. Oh, no, it was bad. Yeah, it devastated the Jersey Shore. Yeah, part of Coney Island got messed up. I know Jones Beach got screwed up. Yeah, they anywhere that was on the south shore of Long Island, going into Queens and Brooklyn all got and it took them many years to rebuild over there. Oh, yeah, it didn't come. There was no business that year in the summer. No, it's pretty messed up, actually. And then people just didn't really care. Because everybody hates New York. They think everybody's rich. Well, they think everybody's sleazy and crooked. Yeah, we're all like assholes. Yeah, if you go anywhere in a country and if they don't pick up your accent, if you dare tell them where you're from, then you've got to hear the remarks, you know. Most of the time, yeah. They, I remember when I was in, my aunt and uncle are from Maryland, right? So they lived on the Chesapeake Bay, they had money. They had a cabin cruiser, but they had their own dock and everything. So at that time, that's when the Yankees bought Reggie Jackson from the Orioles, because Reggie Jackson came from the Oakland Athletics to the Baltimore Orioles before he went to the Yankees. And my... What year was that? 75, 76? I was pretty young. Then anyway... 97 was the year that he had the big season with the Yankees. Yeah, my aunt, Ann Helen, she's originally from Baltimore, so her side of the family was mad. They were saying, all right, you damn rich teams like the Yankees, they have to pick up, they have to steal all of our good players, because they like Reggie Jackson. And then he went to it, because he had just gone to the Yankees. And in 77, there was a theory that Reggie Jackson was the 44 caliber killer, the son of Sam, because his jersey was number 44. Really? Yeah. They actually thought it was not David Berkley. He was one of the suspects. Well, you know, the Yankees have a tendency. They had no idea it was Berkley. Well, they have a tendency to get all of these superstars when they're old, you know, old heathers. They do. Yeah, I don't know if it's Brian Cashman that does this a bit, but they... Oh no, this goes back before Cashman. But besides that, though, the Mets have a worse track record of those old people on the Yankees. The Mets pick them up and pay them all kinds of money, but by the time they make it to the Mets, they're not any good anymore. Yeah, didn't really Randolph very briefly play for the Mets? I think so. But many ex Yankees played for the Mets. Yeah, they're like all crumbs, like leftover... Yeah, and it's annoying as a Mets fan that they do that. They haven't been doing that over the past few years. Yeah, you know what the Mets should do? They've been changing what they used to do. The Mets should do what? Like what the Red Sox had when they first won the World Series and what the Houston Astros had when they started winning and what the Florida Marlins had when they won the first World Series. Get all really top of the line players, AAA young guys from AAA farm leagues, and put together an exceptional young team and not worry about spending a fortune. Lot's funny you say that because you know the oldest team in baseball this year is the Mets. Really? The oldest team. But it's also, it has the number one payroll. They spent the most money out of any other team. More than the Yankees spend? More than the Yankees, yeah. I think the Yankees are like number four, the Mets are number one. Now this Giancarlo Stanton, I heard he's injured again. Like he always gets injured like last year. He's getting up there in age from Stanton. His best years are definitely behind him. Yeah, I mean he's not. He was a killer when he was on the Marlins. Oh yeah, 59 home runs that year. And Judge couldn't, was a little bit behind him that year. But yeah, he led the major leagues with 59 home runs. He's not going to see those days anymore. No, definitely not. I mean he still has power, but he keeps on getting hurt all the time. Yeah, yeah, it happens for them all. I heard Josh Donaldson is no spring chicken. But Donaldson, yeah. Yeah, he's hard to get home. They can't get rid of Donaldson. He's been there for a while too. He's hard to get along with and he's always, he gets hurt also. He's not, they all get hurt. They all get hurt. You know, Volpe is the new guy, right? Yeah, the kid's doing a great job. Yeah, they're saying he's the next Eric Jeter. Orlando or Cabrera, not Orlando. Volpe is from, he's from Jersey. He grew up a Yankees fan. He's from New Jersey. It's pretty cool. Pretty cool story there. Oswaldo Cabrera is a really promising... So you're a Yankees fan, right? Well, I always liked the Red Sox, but... You liked the Red Sox, really? Yeah. Why would you like the Red Sox? You're from Jersey. I don't know. I used to go up there a lot. I like the way Fenway... You've been to Fenway? Well, I like the area. You know, I used to go up there every year. You've never been to Fenway, though? No, I just drove past it. Never been there. Ronald's been there, of course. I'm sure he has, yeah. Yeah, Eric Farnfelder. Yeah, yeah, he lives there. You know, that's a historic landmark. That's built in 1912. I think it's Wrigley's older than Fenway. Yeah, I think it is. I think Wrigley's 1903. Wrigley's the second one. I don't know what they want. I might be wrong. Well, Wrigley has it. Definitely between those two, though. The brick... Well, they're different. They're very different, both. Yeah, yeah. Fenway is more crammed into the city. Right. You got the numbers were changed by people. Yeah. Green monster. There's still people behind there changing the numbers. Yeah, Wrigley had the brick wall with the ivy. Which one was the one that had the organ during games? Where they were playing. Where they were playing. Where the members of the stadium have an organist. Yeah, but it's not an actual person, right? Not anymore. Oh, it used to be in the 70s. There was an organist. I think it might be Wrigley's field. That they still do the organ like an actual person. Camiskey Park was an old... Camiskey Park was pretty old. It's not that old. Well, the original one. Yeah. It's pretty old, but it's in a shitty... It's in the south of Chicago. Oh. South side of Chicago. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's in the South. Is South Chicago worse than the South Bronx? Which one's worse? Chicago. You mean gang bang stuff and homicides and shootings? Yeah, so the South Bronx is pretty bad too. South Bronx. I guess it's more cleaned up than it used to be. Yeah, remember there was a movie called Fort Apache in the South Bronx? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I never saw it, but I know about it. It's a true story. Yeah. Fort Apache was the only... It was a precinct. And it was the only building left on the whole block because they burned all the other buildings down. And that's true. That's what they did in the 70s and the bomb. Do you remember there's a video on YouTube where I think it might have been Ronald Reagan visiting the South Bronx? Yeah, I think I told you about that, right? And they were really hassling. And they were... I sent that to you. I think it was you that sent it to me. They were giving him a hard time. It was in 1980 when he was campaigning. And he gave it a shot. Yeah, you know, he went that... Well, I gave him a lot of credit for... He put himself out there. For sure. The reason why he did that was because four years before then, 76, Carter went to the South Bronx to visit when he was campaigning. And he said, I'm going to clean it up and I'm going to turn things around. So then four years later, Reagan came by and he was seeing... He said Carter was here. And like, do you see any difference? And they didn't. It probably got worse. Yeah. But they weren't giving him a chance. He wasn't getting any votes over there. You know, back then, my ex, one of my exes, we used to go to... She used to drive to Chinatown. She knew I liked Chinatown, you know, Mott Street. Yeah, by Canal Street. You know, the Manhattan, lower Manhattan Chinatown. So we'd be on the... What is it? The FDR drive? Not the West Side, FDR. The one that goes along the East River in Manhattan. Yeah, it's FDR. FDR drive. There was like abandoned cars that were stripped to the bone, like skeletons, like skeletons of cars that were totally stripped. It really... The Polar Grounds used to be up in that neighborhood. The Polar Grounds wasn't in Manhattan, actually. It wasn't in Manhattan. It was in Harlem. Oh, it wasn't in Harlem? Yeah, it was in Washington Heights. I didn't know it was there. Yeah, what do you think it was? That was the old New York Giants played there, right? Yeah, the Giants played there until 57, I think. Yeah, that was an old ballpark. And then, yeah, that one was built in 1911, I think. But there were previous Polar Grounds. The original one was built in the early 1880s. It was right north of Central Park. And then as they expanded Central Park, they moved the Polar Grounds further north, and that's why it went up to Harlem. Really? Wow. Yeah, you would figure Central Park would be better. And Abbott's Field, those were the Dodgers. Yeah, that was in Brooklyn. Abbott's Field. And then the Philadelphia Athletics played at the Shib Park. Connie Mack bought it. The owner of the Philadelphia Athletics bought the stadium. And they learned from Philly to, where did they go after that? Kansas City Athletics. And then they went to Oakland? They went to Oakland. Did you hear they just got a deal with going to Vegas? It went through. Oh, it can go through. But you know, Las Vegas, with all the population they have now, they're running out of water. Yeah, yeah. But so it's historic because that stadium that they're in, in Oakland currently, the Oakland Coliseum, it's like a dump. But it's the last multi-purpose stadium for football and baseball. So now that's gone, there's no more multi-purpose stadium. So in other words, Coach Madden and the old Oakland Raiders played there with the athletics? Oh, yeah. You didn't know that? Yeah. The Raiders were there. Okay. So I think they were together in like the 60s and 70s. The stadium was built in the 60s. And it was like a top of the line stadium for its time. But back in the 60s, whenever they built the stadium, it was always multi-purpose with football and baseball. Kent Stabler, a lot of big stars. Sometime in the 70s, the Raiders left Oakland and went down to LA. It didn't work out. It didn't work out. And then so for that period, the A's were up in Oakland by themselves. And they had a nice stadium, had a nice view of like the mountains. When the Raiders came back from LA, back to Oakland in the early 80s, they extended the bleachers in the stadium. So they made it like this huge thing. And they obstructed the view of the mountains. And they just made the stadium like this huge thing so they could fit more fans in. And it worked for a while when they had the fans coming. But by the time they got to like the 90s, I guess, the stadium was just too huge. It had way too many seats. And the fans weren't coming anymore. Well, Oakland became a shithole. So they eventually, I mean, now if you watch an Oakland A's game, they have the whole top tarped off. And it's been like that for many years because nobody's going to go up there. So it's just tarped off. So instead of the stadium having that nice view in the back of the mountains and everything, it has this big, ugly bunch of space up there with the tarp. So it really messed up the look of the stadium. And then the Raiders, they were there through like the 80s and the 90s. And then they left in... How long were they in Oakland for? I know they're in Vegas now, but... They were in Oakland for a long time. So they went to Vegas in like 2020. They should have went to Portland, Oregon or something. I don't know why teams are going to Vegas. I'm serious. When Vegas, before the first hotel casino was built, the Flamingo, by the gangsters, it was a bone dry desert. They blew that up, right? They blew the Flamingo up. And the Riviera, I think, got taken down. I've never been to Vegas, and I don't really have much of a desire to really go. Well, I don't care. I don't care about seeing shows, and I don't care about gambling. I don't care about gambling. I'm not a gambler. But I do care about the buffets, but I'm not going to go there for the buffets. I've heard people have told me that they like the dry air as compared to the dry heat. Compared to the humid heat like in Florida. You don't have to go to Vegas to experience that. You can go to Tucson, Arizona. Have you ever been around that area? I've only been to Baja, San Diego and Baja. I think that is that considered the same type of heat or it's different in California? No, it's the Sonora Desert, like Arizona. Most of Baja is the Sonora Desert. But at least you have the Pacific Ocean close by. Right. That's a little different than being in the middle of the desert. And you have the Sea of Cortez on one side and the Pacific Ocean on the other. But it's a nice dry heat. So do you like the dry heat better than the humidity? You don't really feel it as much as the humidity. I've never experienced it before. I've never really been to the West Coast. It's very comfortable. You don't feel sticky. It's really comfortable. The breathing, how you close feel. You don't get all sweaty? No, no, no. It's a big sticky sweat. Your sweat evaporates as soon as it comes off. That's interesting. I'd like to, I guess, experience it. Yeah, Gabriel Salias, he grew up in that. He lives in Arizona, right? Yeah, he's from there. But he's by, he's near, he's outside of Phoenix. But he's still part of the desert. You know, oh, you know what else? It's fascinating about Las Vegas, Area 51, all the mysterious sites. That's in New Mexico. No, it's, it's Nevada, north of Vegas. But there's an Area 52, which is in Utah, a desert. There's a, there's a desert in southern Utah. And what's the Area 52? Area 52, but Area 51 is the famous one. What is 52? Another alien? They, it's top secret classified. They got, God knows what's there. Why is 51 the more well-known one? That's supposed to be more like an alien plane crashed, right? Are UFO crashed there? Yeah. Well, that was Roswell, New Mexico. That's what I thought. Yeah, that's what I said in New Mexico. There's, there was many UFO crashes. Why do they always crash in the desert? Why don't they crash in like New York City? Yeah, how come they don't crash in somebody's backyard in Long Island? Right. It always happens out in the desert? I'm going to tell you something. It's going to make you laugh. But it's going to make you bewildered at the same time. I just clicked on the, the private chat. Of what? The show. Okay. Oh, I didn't mean to hold on. Hold on for a second. Comments. Oh, no, not private, not private chat. Comments. All right. Let me, let me catch up on the commentary. Sorry people. Western Mike says, bless armed forces. I think my peers were celebrating already. Is that Mr. Clean? Sorry, James. Might make it. Not sure. Okay. So God bless Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. I already, I already read that. Two hundred, two thousand twenty four and beyond. Roof is closing. It's raining again. It's better late than never. Right. Joe Biden will go down in history as our greatest president. Who's a boozer? Who me? I think events. James, your camera is blurry. No, it's not. Why, why, that's not the private chat. That's the public chat. The public. I'm about to join you, Dick. Your camera looks fine. Right, right. Okay. Yeah, I didn't see a problem with your camera. I don't either. I, I saw it. I saw the problem when I had to auto focus on. Joseph Florida. Who's Joseph Florida? Oh, Western Mike is. I guess he was like San Francisco. God bless Joe Biden. Four more years. Dylan Mulvaney is an American icon. We need to do more for the what? The two SLBGTQIA plus plus plus plus community. Okay. Whatever that is. Trans rights are human rights. Jason says. What are human rights? They're trans rights. Mr. Klee, what, what did you do for the trans community today? He's funny. Jason Cleveland likes to push button. He's a bull buster. He's a button pusher. Ronald is reviewing Chardonnay. So what? Really? Ronald will will review anything with alcohol. Very well. How much Chardonnay have you drank today, Ronald Simpson? Okay. Better late than never. Jason Cleveland is a little weird. I think he's a little weird. The Inflation Reduction Act is helping every day. Americans life is more affordable on the Joe Biden. How come he doesn't say this stuff when he's on camera? Affordable? Yeah, I know. He's not that funny. None of you are paying $2,500 for rent. I don't know, Biden is saving America. John Federman will run for president in 2028. What about 2024? Yeah, but he's decrepit right now. He doesn't look. What's going on with that guy? Is he out of the hospital? He's his life. That son of a bitch. I knew it. I knew Mr. Lane is his life. How did you know that? No, he's his life Thursday, but he's live on Saturday, with a Boozehound show probably. San Francisco is a shit slide. I have a lot of comments here. Are these old? Yeah, I kind of wasn't paying attention. Federman, VP first. So hold on, hold on, hold on. So the difference of Jason and western Michael is that Michael is serious. Dylan Mulvaney is an American hero. They deserve to be awarded national medal of freedom. We need to protect the rights of the two LGBTQIA plus plus plus plus community. Oh, wait a minute. Where does he repeat himself? Trans rights are American rights. Ronnie, yes. How much Bud Light are you drinking now? None. That's the last of it. How can you see the timestamp on it? To see how long ago that was. The last one is 11 29. PM. What's that later? Recent, right? What time is it? What time you got over there in New Jersey? The funny thing Jason said is to Mr. Clean, what have you done for the trans community today? I thought that Mr. Clean told a trans joke at Lowe's. It was funny. I don't remember exactly what it was, but it was. He said it was about like. Has to Olympics. Okay, that's not that's not a bad job. You know, because I was I was mocking the fact that there they started adding so many frivolous ridiculous sports. You know, they used to have baseball in the Olympics. They took it out. You know what they have? They have the. They had the international baseball competition. No, that wasn't the Olympics, though. That was the world baseball classic. And it was a pretty good tournament this year. Oh, it's fantastic. Yeah, it was good. I enjoyed watching it. You know, one of the one of the stars of the of Japan in the place for the Red Sox. Yoshida Yoshida something like that. Well, the I understand, you know, I mean, Jason's at the ball game. I understand that. But Western Mike is he has a lot of commentary. But he was he decided to go solo on YouTube instead of come on the show. So, you know, maybe he craves the spotlight. I don't think he has a spotlight, though, because nobody watches his videos. For some reason, he decided to go solo. And if you look at them, it says one view. Yeah, right. Yeah, or the other day at two views. The point is that it's you and Jason. He's not a team player. He's not a team player. Otherwise, you remember the time he was eating a salad and he's really loudly. Yeah, and the two the two women were saying, who the hell is that on the show? He's got his mouth right up against the camera. She went like a horse, you know, he got the. But I was actually watching the show. He's got it. It was true that you can hear him eating and eating. Yes. Yeah, I was over what everybody else was saying. I was going live on Facebook. Oh, I think you had a I think you had a guest on like a fortune teller or something. She's an astrologer from Texas. She won Corpus Christi, Texas. And B.C. was on also, I think at that time. She has a big she has a lot of parties that she has like. She's right on the go from Mexico. She's got a big pool. She's got a got everything, a tiki bar. Michael was just eating a salad. Yeah, he was chewing into the webcam. And then and then when he finished the salad, he left. And then he split. When he finished eating, he just split. Don Juan and then he's gone. And the B.C. was there, I think. During that particular show, B.C. was still. No, we we had the falling out way before that show. I think B.C. was there. We had the falling out when he found out that me and Jason were we're doing a print screen of his. Yeah, but I think he hung around for a little while after that. And then he then he feels that we're mocking him because he falls asleep during the show. Do you still see him on the Tik Tok? Oh, with with the young way. No, no, I don't see him anymore. He was at the Tik Tok with no shirt on. Some girl some some girl. He went live for. Did he have a hamburger? How did he go? How did he go live? Because you you need to have a thousand followers on Tik Tok to be able to go live. He might have a picture. I can't picture him with a thousand followers. He does the beer reviews. So you might have a thousand followers from that. You know, I can't understand a word he's saying. You know who sounds drunk all the time? That that old guy Elbow that's always on Ronald's show. He's always on Ronald's show. I've never seen him on. He has he has his own show where he plays the piano. Yeah, I've seen that. But I haven't ever seen him on Ron's show. Yeah, he's been going on Fandango Friday. Oh, OK. Yeah. All right, Chief, I'm getting tired. I'm going to think I'm going to put the air conditioning in because it's starting to get humid from the rain. It's about that time of year, man. Get the AC going. Yeah. Well, I got thirsty and maybe I can I can rustle up some viddles. So all right. All right, James. Thank you. Good to see you, man. I'll catch you. I don't know what happened to the other people. But who cares? Thank you. Yeah. Thank you, Mr. Clean. Ronnie S. Jason Cleveland's commentary. Western Goldsmith. Goldsmith Hilton, I'll give you a partial thank you because you went off and did your own thing. All right. Bye-bye. I'll be on tomorrow with the Commodore. Yeah, I don't know about tomorrow. Some days you talk for me. Yeah. I'll do. Well, you're at Poolside. Well, yeah. Maybe I'll try. You know what? I should try to do that thing I was saying with my phone. Well, I'll use Google Chrome browser. See if it works. Listen, if you are able to use Google Chrome with an iPhone and the iPhone leaves it alone and just lets it be. Yeah.
