Ever found yourself chuckling at the absurdity of everyday financial burdens while simultaneously marveling at the advancements in tech and food science? That's the rollercoaster ride we're inviting you on from our Madhouse Studio, where we open up about the grind of work schedules, the sting of utility bills, and the labyrinth of medical billing. You'll find camaraderie in our conversations about the economic disparities that have us all scratching our heads, wondering when owning a home became a relic of the past.

Lights, camera, action – or should I say pan, tilt, zoom? We're talking serious studio enhancements as we steer through the maze of PTZ cameras and tower computers, all to bring crystal-clear video to your screens. Join us as we spill the beans on the highs and lows of tech upgrades and share a laugh over our comically oversized monitor that could rival the neighborly fence from "Home Improvement." But it's not all wires and widgets; we're also hitting the road with a mobile setup that promises to take our podcast and health chats to the great outdoors, complete with musings on 3D printed meat that might just revolutionize your next BBQ.

As we wrap up with tales of integrity and a passion for local sports, you'll feel the pulse of our community. From debating the sentimental value of Cleveland's sports venues to sponsoring a youth basketball team and the inevitable sports injury that comes with it, we're not just observing – we're participating in the heart of our local culture. And what's a gathering without a game of cornhole? Picture this: a local tournament that has us juggling laughter and competition as effortlessly as we do our work-life balance. So, pull up a chair, tune in, and let's navigate the quirks of life together.

Speaker 1:

Good morning. Welcome to Madhouse Bar Talks, from atop of the Madhouse Bar and Grill, from the new Madhouse Studio. What should we call the studio? Is it Madhouse Studio or Madhouse Bar Talks? I think just Madhouse Studio, right.

Speaker 2:

I think the studio.

Speaker 1:

Just the studio. Yeah, just the studio. Yeah, alright, I like it, I like it. Right, I like it. I like it. I like it works for me. I could do that. What's uh, what happened with work this week? You working your ass off, huh shit yeah bad, bad, what time you guys are starting. In the morning four oh my god, that's ridiculous. Four o'clock in the morning Four oh my God, that's ridiculous. Four o'clock in the morning, mm-hmm. And then you get off. At what time?

Speaker 2:

Anywhere from two to five. Fuck that.

Speaker 1:

That's going to be your whole summer.

Speaker 2:

Four years.

Speaker 1:

How are you going to golf and go boating? I don't golf and ride a bike. I don't go and ride a bike, I don't go you ain't going to be able to do nothing is all I'm saying.

Speaker 2:

Nah, you know, I don't know.

Speaker 1:

That's crazy.

Speaker 2:

Making great money, though we're going to leave that alone.

Speaker 1:

You're going to leave it alone. It's that bad, huh? No, it's not that bad, but it's not good. Well, the problem is everything's so fucking expensive. That and you know what and the problem is is like if you own that construction company in your head you're thinking you're terminal or whatever right terminal. They're living off a whole nother, they're on another echelon, they're not. They're not considering, like, what it costs to go to the grocery store and all that dumb shit. You know what I'm saying. But the truth is, like in the real world, this shit's outrageous, like you're talking. You're talking, I mean just like home.

Speaker 1:

Like me and amanda, you know, I've been looking at houses and stuff for a while now. They're just they're overprice. Like for me to upgrade out of my house I'd have to spend $330,000. And that's not a big upgrade. Like $350,000, $380,000, just to get decent Basic. Yeah, I mean, even if you like Homewood houses and shit are like $180,000. I mean that's a no joke. Like $180,000 loan is. You know that's a $1, 1200 a month loan at this point. You know, with taxes, insurance, it's 1200 a month. You know what I'm saying. So, and the rule of thumb was always that it was like you should be able to pay your mortgage with one paycheck. You know, I'm saying and it's just not happening.

Speaker 3:

That's just not.

Speaker 1:

And that, never mind the fact that groceries are outrageous. The freaking electric again. The water bills, dude, I'm sick of I get. I get sanitation department bill, I get a water bill, then I get a sewer bill. What the fuck is sanitation if it's not sewer? And why do I get three bills for one service, like it's like going to the doctor.

Speaker 1:

Now you know, you go to the doctor and there's 30 million fucking different things that you're bills and shit, yeah yeah, I've always said, I've said for years, there should be a point of sale, like there should be a rule, a law, that there's a point of sale. If you go to the doctor, like say, you go to mercy hospital, you get one bill for mercy hospital, it's up to them to break it down. You should not get 30 bills that you've got to figure out.

Speaker 2:

Then, once two months down the road, you get it. Oh yeah, that's what kills you.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's not even like they come all at the same time or nothing. I've said that for years that they need to fix that so that there's a point of sale, and now utilities is doing it. That has never been the case. It just makes no sense, you know.

Speaker 2:

These bills around here, man, they just make them up as they go.

Speaker 1:

Oh no, I just got a new one from the health department. Now there's a whole other one. It's a whole other bill, that's like every three months from the health department. Now, for here, I think I have it here and at home, both. Actually, yeah, it's a. It's like a whole different. I forget what it's called now. It's just a whole random bill just showed up, just like showed up one day. I'm like is this right? Fuck this thing. And I threw it off to the side. Then I got another bill going. Oh, you know, we're gonna cancel your service. Like what service, what's this bill for? I mean it just I don't know. It was crazy.

Speaker 2:

And you still never figured out.

Speaker 1:

It has something to do, I think, with like having septics and stuff like that. I think is what it has to do with. I'm pretty sure that's what it is anyways, but I mean so. And then electric, I mean things are outrageous. I mean people like that own own terminal, they don't understand, they don't know that, they don't get that. No, they do. No, they don't, they can't do, they can't possibly understand, they can't dude. It's not possible for them to understand what it's like to live in your shoes, because if they did, they wouldn't do it. I mean a company like that paying you, like that you can't go buy a house in a normal market, like it would be tough for you to afford a homewood house right now. I mean you live in a homewood house that you bought, but I'm saying, like a homewood one like it, like you know, like my, old house normal size yeah yeah, the normal size.

Speaker 1:

But I'm saying, like my old house, you know, like the house that I had, like a house like that would be out of your price range. And I mean I'm not saying and that's, and now if you get a wife that's making about the same thing, you're looking at a normal house of like 380 or whatever. You know what I mean.

Speaker 1:

It's still out of your price range. You know what I'm saying. It's this fucking market is. It's it's a mess right now, right, and I'm mess right now, right, and I'm not saying that, I'm not saying terminal's doing anything wrong. I mean, the market is what the market is. I know what, when I, when you first told me about it, I was like you should, you should check. I forget where it was. I said to check. But I went online and it's like yeah, you're getting paid over, like what the average? And that's crazy to me.

Speaker 1:

Like that's just crazy to me that cement truck drivers make that. I think the average is set in Ohio was 18, 18, 19. Yeah, it was like that. That is insane to me.

Speaker 2:

That's just. I don't know what you looked at, but that's just not realistic.

Speaker 1:

Around here, everybody makes more now around here, but it's Ohio, so I mean, what are they making? Cleveland makes a lot more sure, that's cleveland and here I get that, but what are they making down in marietta, or you know what I'm saying, like that you don't know what they're making down in other parts of the country. You know where things aren't booming or what.

Speaker 2:

You know what I mean and me and my, my boss, he's, he's cool, you could talk to him. So I was. I was asking him the other day. Well, talking to him the other day, and we was talking about, like, how is concrete drivers making exact as a dump driver? It doesn't make any sense.

Speaker 1:

I mean I think they should make the same, why not?

Speaker 2:

Are you crazy?

Speaker 1:

I don't know, I guess I don't know the business. I think they should make the same. They're going to work every day. They're away from their family, I they're away from their family.

Speaker 2:

It's totally different. It's 100% different. You're dealing with contractors, you're backing up, you're interlocked with somebody else guiding you and pouring and making sure you don't run somebody over.

Speaker 1:

A dump driver. You just back up, dump it and go. I thought, well, I mean, isn't a good dump driver like do more than that, or no?

Speaker 3:

No.

Speaker 2:

No, just go somewhere, get loaded and go somewhere and dump it. That's it. We're climbing up and down that ladder. You get loaded, you climb up, clean it out, you go to your job. Sometimes they got additives. You got to go climb up that ladder, throw the additives in there and at the end of the job you got to rinse, you know, clean everything up.

Speaker 2:

So you're climbing up that ladder three, four times yeah, and at 50 something years old at it, that that ain't the easiest thing to do anymore yeah, now it's just, it's all right when you're doing it like three to four loads a day, when you're doing eight, nine, it starts getting wearing your ass out and you started right when the bar closed, you got to worry about drunk drivers on your way to work.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's another hazard. Yeah, that's another thing. You know you got people cutting you off and they act like you could stop that thing on a dime. I'm like you know what? I ain't risking my ass if you can jump in front of me.

Speaker 1:

No, yeah, that's a lot of weed. Yeah, but that's true with a big dump truck too. I mean you got a lot of weeds.

Speaker 2:

that that's not I'm saying they deserve money too. But I'm saying I think concrete drivers should make more than the dump driver. I've done them both and I'm like yeah, I know concrete's way different I mean, everybody should make some money.

Speaker 1:

That's all I'm saying. Morning, brian yeah I'm saying like everybody should make a living wage there. That's all.

Speaker 2:

I'm saying like that, whether you're driving a truck, whether you're right right right, but I don't think that if you got a broom in your hand or you're driving a truck, you still be should be able to eat right, that's all I'm saying.

Speaker 1:

Right, and that's supposed to be like the whole thing with like the unions. For the most part, that's how they're they're supposed to be like if you're a union laborer, if you're doing road work or sweeping up a job site, you're getting the same money.

Speaker 2:

You know what I mean but I, um, I worked on union driving jobs and it really didn't affect much different. What do you mean? I've worked at companies that were union and just didn't make a difference. We got to pay this about the same no, I don't disagree.

Speaker 1:

Now. The problem with the unions now is they all have so much legacy cost that it's it's almost impossible like that. There's so much back paying and stuff like that. Cause what happened is there was such a big workforce that were all union at one time, and now the non-union companies have like stepped up to where they're like they're basically paying them just as good, they're doing this and that, but they're not paying as much money out where the union contractor is. A lot of that money is going to like pensions and stuff, and and those pensions are are paying people that aren't even working no more. Those are like the retirees and stuff. And then they're almost double dipping because they're trying to put a lot of money into annuities and stuff like that to make the future a little different, which is a good idea. But right now, at this moment in time, they're trying to burn the candle at both ends. You know what I mean. So it's just I don't know, it's shitty, it sucks, but anyways yeah, I don't know how we got stuck onto that subject.

Speaker 2:

Probably I was crying, I was hungry and then couldn't afford no food joe.

Speaker 1:

Pay that man enough to eat, jesus nah he's cool but you're wrong when you think he knows what it's like he doesn't know. He doesn't have a clue what it would be like to get a check for a thousand bucks a week and have a mortgage for 1400.

Speaker 2:

He has no clue the other day I was, we had talked about raises and all well, not the other day, it was a while ago. We talked about raises and stuff. So then that I don't know it was that couple days later or something I went to the store, I got a tea and then breath mints and it was seven dollars and I took a picture of him. I said, said yeah, I need that little extra. I was like that's crazy, $7 for that shit.

Speaker 1:

That happened to me last year in the summer. I went up to the store I forget what it was, I can't even. I talked about it on a podcast. I was aggravated as fuck. I literally went and got a couple packs of cigarettes and some coffees or something and it was like 40. Some die go, what the hell? So that's 60 bucks you got laying there right now. Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, I mean, it was nuts. I was shocked, it was crazy. Oh yeah, it's ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous.

Speaker 2:

So what do you think of the new studio? Amazing, looks really good.

Speaker 1:

There's a couple things I had to change oh really, who would have saw that coming I?

Speaker 2:

always said that because you said some stupid shit yesterday. Gito would come in here and say something you always do.

Speaker 1:

I didn't and I wasn't going to, but I had to. No, I told Amanda last night. I said, gito, come in and vacuum the carpet because I haven't got all the wood chunks up. And she'd be like, yeah, I helped, yeah, we did this't got all the wood chunks up, and be like, yeah, I helped, yeah yeah, we did this how you leave these wood chunks in here like you did all the shit you did, but you, you didn't vacuum.

Speaker 2:

I'll be like I'll tell everybody we put that we podcast together do?

Speaker 1:

we got a door, you can put in somewhere yeah, that's what we need a barn door. There we go yeah, a nice barn door, you could do it on that closet, we could do it on that. Nah, I'm doing all that nah, it looks really good it was a.

Speaker 1:

It was rough. I started getting into it so I started I got the cameras is. What I really wanted was like good cameras, that, and I wanted them logged in so that they work better. And I wanted to ptz, which is pan tilt zoom, is a like where we can make them do whatever we want. You know, zoom them in, zoom them out sample.

Speaker 1:

Let's try I, I can, but if I do it it'll fuck them all up. I can't. We can't fuck with that right now, not till I get that. I got bugs still to work out. There's still bugs to work out. But but the point is, is that the way we were set up before, when the video would be there? Your video might be one, my video might be. Now we can have it zoomed to it a nice square, boxed in everybody's in the picture they're supposed to be in, and it just looks better. It just comes out cleaner, looks more professional, and I wanted the tvs in the background to kind of give it some character, because we've had just that bland background. But it's wild, if you look on the, if you look on these cameras, you can actually see the glitter in those foam panels. It's wild, it's like it's. I can't believe how clear they are.

Speaker 2:

I mean, it's so clear you ever see these videos where the wording is backwards and stuff?

Speaker 1:

yeah, it gets mirrored. Why are we like that? No, that's why I was making sure I was looking at it. Well, see, that's part of the problem I'm having. So so these cameras they've got the. The cameras are.

Speaker 1:

I'm trying to figure out how to wire them in. They don't have an ethernet cable, which is what I when I bought them I thought that's what it had. So I bought a router and I was ready to put a switch in and get them all that way. It doesn't have a router, an Ethernet cable on the back of the cameras. So you can either hook them up through USB-S video or these old school like just wire, like just like, literally like speaker wire, almost, you know, like just connecting them. So as we're going through it, I'm figuring it all out. And as I'm figuring it out, basically the usb are the cameras. So that's easy, we can do that.

Speaker 1:

But then the other, either the s video or those wires, single wires or even ethernet on this, but I don't have ethernet on the cameras is how you control, like the pan and tilt and all that stuff. You know what I mean. So I go on, I go, I I put it on there, like I hook it up to the tv and I'm trying to like get into the settings and whatnot. I get in the settings and it's freaking all backwards. So you gotta, you're doing like this, trying to like read and go. So I just gave up. I'm like I'll figure it out at some point, I'll get it done and figured out. And then I got the same problem. I had that first time, remember, when I couldn't get the guest microphones to work. I'm having that and that's because I'm in a new computer and I had to do that because the laptop couldn't take all the usbs for the cameras and when I used a hub it was too much bandwidth going through the hub, so it was. So I basically had to get a tower computer that had plenty of usb hubs and all that good stuff. But yeah, but other than that, everything seems to be working.

Speaker 1:

Okay, I mean, it's, it's. What did he say? This is all over. See you, madhouse, it is straight. I can't read it. My eyes are bad. Just let him in. Okay, awesome, that's on Madhouse bar. Talk, brian, his is all over. Who I don't know. See you, madhouse. See, your madhouse is straight. Oh, I see what he's saying. Oh, it's just saying the logo is everywhere, so you can see it and that's good too. That's the other thing this all started. I started, I came with that, we ended up being on Facebook or whatever, and we end up on Facebook. And when we were on Facebook it's freaking, got just bland, boring background or newscast. I mean, it's just a bland, boring background and nobody knows that it's Madhouse Bar Talk. They're just showing it.

Speaker 3:

You know what I mean.

Speaker 1:

So that's a part of what I what got me thinking like if something like that would ever happen again, and tiktoks and everything else, they should all, they should all have some some sort of of advertisement of the podcast in there. So that's what got me that. That's what started the whole process, but there was so many things fixed in this.

Speaker 1:

With the table we got plenty of room for your crystal ball sound sounds good, the which that that was sounding good, I think before for the most part. I think, like in the recordings it was thank you, billy and uh, thank you brian the uh. But the work into it put into it was freaking. It was nuts me and me and bobby were up here just arguing fight, not arguing fight. But you know, I mean that's how we yell at each other. I said, I mean that's just how we've been for years. But yeah, we're up here trying to get everything hooked up. We ran all the, the wires underneath.

Speaker 2:

I cleaned all the wood chips up.

Speaker 1:

No, that's what I said last night. I go, we'll find out what. Guido says is wrong.

Speaker 2:

The only thing is I think that monitor is way too big. I can't see. It's like talking to Wilson over the fence.

Speaker 1:

I kind of like it. They had some good talks over that fence. Yeah, I kind of like it they had some good talks over that fence.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, I mean it is too big, but it's only a 27-inch. I thought that that would be fine, but I don't know what to do with that, because I tried to take the bracket off of it and set it down because it is a curved screen, but it just doesn't work. It doesn't stay up because it's like tilted here. You know it's like tilted here, you know it's like on an angle, so it's like falling back. So that didn't work. I mean, I tried and I did whatever I could and I gotta have the screen in front of me. It just doesn't make sense any other way.

Speaker 1:

I tried to pull it off to this side and it just yeah then I'm just gonna be on the podcast like this when I'm, you know know, like a mugshot. Yeah, those mugshots are great, dude, I love. Have you seen the t-shirts that they got? Uh-uh, oh yeah, if you go on that Busted on Facebook, they've got t-shirts Like you can get like I ended up on Busted or shit like that. Oh, it's freaking hilarious. It is great. Thanks a lot, kenny. Kenny said it looks great. Greer, that's the guy that we want to bring in. That was a runner in high school that is part of the Lunch Bunch, that group. So, yeah, it was a lot of work and I was freaking out. You said you came in yesterday. You think we'd be up and running today, huh and it was late too.

Speaker 2:

I ain't gonna say late, but when I came up here I was like you know what solved it?

Speaker 1:

honestly, the biggest thing that solved it was when I put in this new computer and I started plugging all this stuff up and I'm running, I'm hooking everything up and I'm looking to see how much time I got for the end of the day it was on, it was on East coast, or West coast time.

Speaker 1:

West coast time. So the whole time I'm thinking I got all kinds of time. I'm just looking at, cause the computer's there, I'm setting it up. I'm looking at the time, I'm going, oh, I've got plenty of time. It's only 3.30 or whatever and I'm sitting there just all right, keep going, keep going. And the next thing I know I look up and it's, you know, like whatever, it was 4.30 or something and I'm like man, it seems later than 4.30. I've been at this shit all day and I check my phone and I'm like holy shit. So I didn't change the time zone on the new computer when I got it. So I was going hard, thinking I had lots of time left, but I got it. It works. Everything that we needed to get today's podcast out works.

Speaker 1:

There's some glitches. I got to get the cameras or the TVs. I got. That's a scrolling video, which is nice, but it's not working. Right now. The pause picture is working, but when you try and run it in a loop on a USB, which is what it is in now, it just keeps bringing up the play button and this and that you know, and it's just a pain in the balls.

Speaker 2:

So next week, what do we got to do for that?

Speaker 1:

That's 11 to 6 at WG Green Lodge, berea that's, I think it's called bark in the park, it's. It's the dog tailgate. They. They're on facebook. If anybody wants to make any donations to they're on facebook. Under dogs tailgating or dog top dog tailgating on facebook. Top dog tailgating on Facebook. Top dog tailgating on Facebook. That's who's putting on the event. The money is going to Cleveland something. Yeah, cleveland Animals or something. But yeah, that's Saturday at 11. I got it now this week trying to make sure the mobile stuff is together.

Speaker 2:

So you guys might get some little tests put out.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, you might see a test page pop up here and there or something at home. I'll probably just set it up at home, make sure it's ready to go because I've got. That's the mobile setup that I got for I took to south carolina, but now I'll hook it up to the laptop. I think it should work pretty easy hooked up to the laptop, but I want to make sure this week I'll make sure before we go and then yeah, we'll be.

Speaker 2:

So if that doesn't work, what are we going to do? Oh, it's going to work.

Speaker 1:

We'll make it work. It's going to work. I mean, I'll make it work. I'm not worried about that. Somehow, one way or the other, it'll work. I just don't know how we're gonna set up there and stuff. I'll probably try and get there around 10 and try and look and see what I got going on, because there's probably like there's picnic tables and all that good stuff. You know what I'm saying. So but yeah, it's gonna be fun and anybody who comes there with the madhouse subscriber, you come in and you get. You get in the park, you get it's free beer and food drinking in the park.

Speaker 1:

Yep's free beer and food Drinking in the park. Yep, yep. Free beer and food. You can't beat that. Free food and beer. I should say they didn't put it that way, but as a bar owner, I said free beer because that's the most important part, isn't it Not? To me Like free beer.

Speaker 2:

Like that's crazy. You see his belly. It's about the food, the Buddha, the food, the buddha belly.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, the buddha belly. So you lost some weight this week. Huh, yeah, I'm down to 220 this morning. I couldn't believe it. I get down to 220 this morning. That's 19 pounds from where I started when I started on this diet. Like what was that a week before I went to see my sister? Yeah, 20, almost 20 pounds. Now I'll be in the teens pretty soon. I remember being upset because I hit 215. Like God, I'm getting fat, you know.

Speaker 2:

I don't know. I think the heaviest I've ever been was 220. Yeah, that was too much on me.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's like I feel lean right now, but I feel my best, like if I'm working out and exercising every day to 10 to 10, that's my average.

Speaker 2:

That's where I'm at.

Speaker 1:

But if I, if I'm not exercising stuff, 200, 195, somewhere in there, that's like where I feel best at if I'm not working out. But when you're working out, you, just you, you have more weight to you regardless, you know.

Speaker 2:

I don't know, I ain't worked out in 30 years.

Speaker 1:

I sent you a TikTok. Did you watch it?

Speaker 2:

Which one? You sent me one hourly.

Speaker 1:

The one about your 3D printed meat. Oh yeah, that shit's weird, isn't it? I want to play it for everybody, Everybody. Here it goes. We're going to play it right now.

Speaker 3:

This is what Guido was talking about the world will start eating meat printed by a printer and we won't even be able to tell if it's real meat or not. This isn't a plot from Black Mirror. It's our reality unfolding. Here's why printed meat resembles real meat so closely. The 3D printers use special bio-inks to create it. These bio-inks are actually made from stem cells extracted from different animals depending on the desired type of meat beef, pork, poultry or even fish. In a laboratory, these cells then multiply, interact and differentiate into the fat and muscle cells that make up bio-ink. These bio-inks are then intricately layered by specialized 3D printers to construct meat products that closely mimic the taste and nutritional composition. It's too loud. Too loud Now. How crazy is that?

Speaker 1:

So it answered our questions that we had. Our questions were that what do they print it with? It's like a bio ink.

Speaker 3:

That's so gross.

Speaker 1:

That's nasty Bio ink. Yeah's so gross. That's nasty Bio ink.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, we're probably eating it already. We don't even know it.

Speaker 1:

Oh my God. You see that when I sent it to you, that meat looks like that's the one I was talking about. It looks really like when they cut it open and shred it out. I mean it looks like meat I don't know how you would tell the difference and it's bio ink. That is freaking crazy, oh my God. So what do they do? Do you think they take blood out? We should look into that. I bet you they take like blood. I bet you they just draw blood of the animal right.

Speaker 2:

They said what stem cells or some shit.

Speaker 1:

Huh, Brian said send it to him. I shall I shall send it to you.

Speaker 2:

Brian, there's all kinds of shit like that coming out. I'm like what the hell? It's just gross.

Speaker 1:

That's nuts. I can't believe that. That's a thing I just can't. That's just. That's just. I never heard of it until you brought it up. I'm like whoa, what are you talking about? Remember. I'm like 3D printed.

Speaker 2:

You're looking at me like what the hell?

Speaker 1:

I mean, I'm still stuck on 3D printed houses and now you're telling me there's a whole stake. Shit, they're doing more than the state.

Speaker 2:

What if they could print 3D printed human flesh for people who are.

Speaker 1:

I think they're doing that now too. What's that called? I forget what that's called.

Speaker 2:

Oh, cannibal, yeah, what are?

Speaker 1:

they.

Speaker 2:

Cannibals, cannibals.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, they could print fake 3D cannibals.

Speaker 2:

That's gross.

Speaker 1:

What if it's good? Knock yourself out, be likeannibal. Lecter would never have to kill nobody again.

Speaker 2:

He could enjoy it but that's part of it.

Speaker 1:

The kill the kill is part of it, like these hunters, like rednecks and stuff yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2:

But if they could go and just say hey, you know, let me go buy a deer cut up.

Speaker 1:

They ain't doing that shit and they're like hell no that's probably true, although they do all go to each other's houses and each other's venison. So I mean, that's, that's one thing I don't know. But that berea thing, though, where we're doing it at, that's, that's in. That it's, uh, it says cleveland and it says berea, both, but it's it's cleveland metro parks. But it's actually that wg green. The park it's in, I think, is in multiple areas because it's so big, it's a metro park. So it's wj green lodge is where it's going to be at and it's going to have the uh, it's going to have that uh, food and beer. Like we said, we're going to do the podcast there. But the Berea thing I was looking into, that, uh, this Hassledge thing where he wants to move the Browns out of Cleveland. He wants to put a dome and he wants to. He's like I don't even know if he's done it yet or not, but he's, I think, acquired the property, or almost acquired the property, like 176 acres in Berea.

Speaker 2:

It's going to happen Probably.

Speaker 1:

He's going to move them out of Cleveland again 176 acres, but they said they could renovate the stadium that's there and get Cleveland City money for like a billion.

Speaker 2:

Look at Brian. What do?

Speaker 1:

you say so I'm 212.

Speaker 2:

Little fat ass and you're only 5'6".

Speaker 1:

So. But if he goes out there, the new dome is $2 billion to build a new hotel. It cost him a lot of money and he's not getting help from the city of Cleveland with the $2 billion. But he's trying to do 176 acres. That's like restaurants and hotels. 176 acres is what he's looking at.

Speaker 2:

But Berea is like right next door. Who cares?

Speaker 1:

I mean a lot of cities do that, a lot of, or a lot of nfl teams I mean there's there's quite a bit that aren't actually in their cities. You know what I mean yeah, but some of them like change their names, which is what I hope doesn't happen they probably will you think the berea browns, because I mean the training center's there already too but you know what it is Like.

Speaker 2:

You think about it. If you got a Browns jersey, say 20 years old, and you're still using it, you know what I'm saying that just opens up all kinds of doors, you know? Yeah, you get to resell them and stuff. Yeah, resell all that shit.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but everybody's still going.

Speaker 2:

But they don't change them like the Berea Browns. They change them to the Ohio something. Look at the Indians. They all got new jerseys and all that shit.

Speaker 1:

But they did that shit just to freaking appease everybody. Yeah, because a bunch of white people aren't happy with us calling them the Indians. I'm Indian, I didn't have an issue with it. I enjoyed the Chief Yahoo myself personally. I'm Indian. I didn't have an issue with it. I enjoyed the Chief Yahoo Myself personally. I never heard nobody complaining about that Never, except for some white people in protest. They weren't Indians there wasn't no Indians there showing up protesting.

Speaker 2:

Maybe there was, we don't know about it. Chief Yahoo himself might have been up there saying you need to change that.

Speaker 1:

Chief Yahoo is a made up fictional character.

Speaker 2:

No no, he was there. No, I'm just saying they're just stupid. People always look for something to just argue about, I guess yeah it's yeah I don't know, but they're gonna.

Speaker 1:

That I mean it's a real possibility right now it might happen. It kind of would be you know how much construction that would bring to this area To redevelop Berea into like a destination spot right there. That would be huge. I mean, that would absolutely be huge for everybody who.

Speaker 2:

Well, so a smart person with money would go there and buy some land up right now. Like to even beat up houses in that area. You know what I'm saying yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, there's a hotel. I seen that was for sale. Somebody was telling me about it. There was a hotel in the area, but I mean that's a risk because of the city of.

Speaker 1:

Cleveland comes in and does them a good right. There's been other cities where they bought the land I think Chicago. They actually bought the land, the bears they bought it. They were going to redevelop outside of Chicago and then the city worked out a deal with them and got them to stay, gave them a bunch of money. Brian said Deshaun Watson is the first quarterback to last three years in a row, but he hasn't played. He played like eight games.

Speaker 2:

That's freaking crazy. I could last that long on the bench too. Yeah, yeah, because you know what that's freaking crazy.

Speaker 1:

I could last that long on the bench too. Yeah, yeah, I don't yeah, because you know what. That's a good point. Brian Guido brings up a good point, because Deshaun Watson's been on the bench most of that time. We may have had quarterbacks not starting quarterbacks, but quarterbacks that have actually been there for three years in a row Third string or whatever they are. They might have happened.

Speaker 1:

I really don't know. I'm not sure of it, not a hundred percent, but I think it'd be cool to bring all that construction in the end of berea. I think that would be sweet. It'd be nice to go to the game and not have to go to a fucking parking garage and pay all that money and then walk past all the fucking homeless. And although there's not a lot of homeless down there anymore, it's not like it used to be. You used to be I would go to Cavs games years ago. We'd park in the parking garage and you'd come out the door of the parking garage Just the man door on the side Take the steps and take the man door off the side and there'd be a homeless guy. Open the door there like he wants a tip because he opened a fucking door. I'll open my own door, get out of my way. You know what I mean. It's like going to these high end places with the bathroom, the guy in there going to hand you a fucking paper towel. Grab my own paper towel, get out of here.

Speaker 2:

He gives you the cologne and stuff.

Speaker 1:

I don't fucking want no cologne. If I show up there and I don't have cologne on, I don't want to wear cologne. And if I do have cologne on, it's probably not what you have in the fucking toilet. I mean, that's the way I see it. I mean, who puts cologne on in the bathroom? Who does that? Somebody have you? No, no, nobody does. What are you going to freaking?

Speaker 2:

bust out his freaking whatever cologne he has and that's what you're gonna wear now.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, for that ten dollars you gotta leave him as a tip? Yeah, no, I don't think so. I never did understand that shit like get out of my bathroom, it's fucking just awkward.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, you're somebody in there, yeah that's my job here.

Speaker 1:

I just took a nasty shit. You had to smell it.

Speaker 2:

Here's a tip for smelling it you fuck oh, you got people come here and do that for free for you.

Speaker 3:

Oh shit.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, what the hell. Why am I paying people for something I can get for free?

Speaker 2:

That was hilarious when that dude did that.

Speaker 1:

That's ridiculous.

Speaker 2:

Remember that you don't want to talk about it.

Speaker 1:

No, what is it? Traumatized. What is it? What are you?

Speaker 2:

talking about when you went to the restroom. That dude wanted to come in there and just talk to you while he was pooping. Oh yeah.

Speaker 1:

There was a gay couple that came in.

Speaker 2:

Oh my God, Well he didn't come in?

Speaker 1:

Well, he did. He was talking to me when I was. Yeah, that is true, he was talking, that is true. But you know, I was in the stall and he was over on the like where the urinal is, in our bathroom there. So I was in a stall, I was blocked away from him, but the crazy thing was, when I walked out I'm like washing my hands he walked in there, like into where I just took a big nasty shit and then just walked right back out, like what the fuck was he walking in there for? Like I don't't, I don't get it. I don't, I don't know, was that like some kind of gay code or something like? Like like some uh, bath house type shit? Like I don't know, man, that was fucking weird, I didn't like it. Oh my god.

Speaker 1:

Well, brian, guys don't care. Even if okay, even if you don't carry cologne on you, though, brian, he said, girls will carry perfume in their purse, guys don't. But even if you don't carry, or you don't have your cologne on you, or whatever, if you, if you left the house with cologne on, why do you want to put the fucking dumb shit that they got? I mean, I'm not saying that maybe they have the best, but it's not. You already have a scent. Either you you chose not to or you already have one. I mean, I don't know anybody that's ever freaking said hey, yeah, hit me with your 1990 Polo cologne. Get the fuck out of here.

Speaker 2:

What was it?

Speaker 1:

Stetson, or whatever the fuck Stetson your grandma would give you like the, the christmas pack or whatever with like stetson cologne and deodorant and uh body wash and all that. You remember those? Yeah, fucking everybody had those kits. Yeah, good christmases and socks and I always, dude, I'd love socks. That's. That was that was used to be. Miss benjamin used to always, or not Miss Benjamin, I'm sorry, miss Gladys, pee Wee Boyd, jay Boyd's mom. I know that what she actually did was buy a bunch of socks and wrap them up and when people came over because that would be a busy house at Christmas time and I was one of those that would show up and she would just toss me a Christmas present, but it would always be fresh socks. But I loved it every year.

Speaker 1:

I couldn't wait to get my fresh socks.

Speaker 2:

Man, you put on some fresh socks fresh out the package.

Speaker 1:

Nothing better. Nothing better If it was up to me.

Speaker 2:

You'd be one of them. Rich people that only wear them one time. One and done man One and done.

Speaker 1:

I watched a thing with Charlesles barkley years ago and he black sweet he. I watched a thing with, uh, charles barkley years ago where he was saying that he gets the nba comfy socks like the good nba crew cut or the ankle cut ones or whatever, and throws them away every time he goes nothing beats him fresh out of the packet and I that sounds right to me. I mean, how much would it, would it cost you, to just put fresh socks on every time and just throw them away?

Speaker 2:

Probably around, let's say around $800 a year $800 a year.

Speaker 1:

See, that sounds like a lot. But I was thinking I was going to do it on a weekly basis.

Speaker 2:

Or maybe twice.

Speaker 1:

No, I mean think in a week, like how much it would cost well, what do you think it would cost? I don't know. I haven't bought socks. Amanda does that. I don't know what socks?

Speaker 2:

well, there you go, don't cost you nothing, do it, it's my money.

Speaker 1:

I just don't pay attention to what she spends on it so you don't pay attention to acre.

Speaker 2:

Tell her just buy me socks and I'll throw more. I could.

Speaker 1:

I could get Amazon. I could go see what socks are on Amazon. Yeah, you ain't doing that shit. What's Amazon? Just have it a weekly shipment. You know how you could set it up to like constantly. Just have them show up once a week dropping off socks. I like it. That's a good idea. That's wonderful. That's good stuff. That's good stuff. That's real good stuff.

Speaker 2:

Let's sell them the car washes or something.

Speaker 1:

Huh.

Speaker 2:

Let's sell the old ones. The car washes.

Speaker 1:

No, just throw them away, give them to the homeless. There you go, unwashed.

Speaker 2:

Hey, and then?

Speaker 1:

And then you can write it off.

Speaker 2:

Can you, if you give them the home, don't I?

Speaker 1:

need to, why not?

Speaker 2:

See now all of a sudden, it's not now. It's making sense, ain't?

Speaker 1:

it now. It makes a lot of sense. That makes a lot of sense. Speaking of leaving cleveland, lebron james, he was, uh, he was about to get swept last night. I thought for sure they were gonna get him. But he come through that that. Have you watched any of that at all?

Speaker 3:

When.

Speaker 1:

I know you don't watch that basketball too much, but Jokic is showing up in everybody's TikToks too, everything that he does. But this freaking kid he's like. That's the one that last year that was like, oh man, we got to do a parade.

Speaker 3:

He just wanted to ride.

Speaker 1:

Lebron can't seem to beat him. Like literally the last game, game three, they were up by like 20 points and the only lead that that that denver ever had was the buzzer beater at the end and then one, you know. But this time they finally got him. But it but it's like 10 games in a row or something that Jokic has beat him. Yeah, that's freaking crazy. He just can't get past him for some reason. But he did last night finally. So it wasn't a sweep, which is what everybody was all worried about, which I mean, I like Jokic, but I'm kind of rooting for LeBron. I still love LeBron. I miss him. Come back home he probably will.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, if they'll take his son. I guess they're in negotiations bringing his son into LA. Now, though, la, that's all he really wants to do is play with Bronny, but I don't think Bronny's talented. I mean he's talented enough, I guess, but I don't. He's not, he's nothing. Yeah, but Jokic kind of is like a Larry Bird. He looks awkward out there and he just don't miss. It's freaking crazy. I don't think he sits and talks shit though, like Larry Bird did. He probably ain't that good, he's dude, he's fucking nasty dude, and he don't even like. I mean, yeah, he, I don't know. Bronny's going to suck, brian said. I agree, I think he is too, but that's what LeBron wants. So they're going to probably accommodate him and bring him over to LA, and sure they will shit.

Speaker 1:

You know, I wish, I wish the Cavs would have done no, not now he. I mean his. No, not now he. I mean his days are over now. I mean he ain't gonna. I mean he, he, the.

Speaker 1:

Even his record for the year was lackluster. You know what I mean, and there's no chance I don't think that he's coming back and beating jokic and going into the next round, because this is the first round of the of the, you know of the playoffs. But yeah, lebron's getting his ass handed to him. He's getting too old, that's all there is to it. He just can't. I mean, you watch him dunk now. Andon's getting his ass handed to him. He's getting too old, that's all there is to it. He just can't. I mean, you watch him dunk now and it's like his his hand is. I mean it's getting above the rim. I'm not saying it's not, but it's not that explosive like pop where his head's gonna bang on the rim type shit. That was going on before. How does he? Uh, I'm trying to think 2003. He came in a league. He was 18, so was he 40, 39, 40, I think it'll be 40 this year. 40 or 40?

Speaker 2:

yeah, I think it'll be 40 this year what are the basketball players retire at average 40 no 30 something.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, 34 shack was. They were calling shack old at 34, that's how. That's how far off it is. Yeah, he almost hit his head twice yesterday. Oh really see, I didn't get to watch the game. He was doing it yesterday. Huh, he had that explosiveness yesterday. I didn't see, I didn't watch the game. He was doing it yesterday. Huh, he had that explosiveness yesterday. I didn't see, I didn't watch the game yesterday. I just was looking at the score and I was shocked Because I watched game one and two and three. And then this time I'm like I don't even want to watch no more. Jokic is just fucking honing his ass.

Speaker 2:

You know, like the average, you're saying like 35 or something like that, but there's.

Speaker 1:

No, I think the average is like 28 or 30. Yeah, it's low, like it's not. I think, like I said, at Shaq they were calling old at 34. I mean it's just, it's not. I mean it's just, it's just not that. I mean you hit your physical peak at like 27. You probably got about four or five years after that and you're done, like you're done, done and that's a good player. Most guys get in the league and get three or four years and then the new guys come in and they get rid of them.

Speaker 1:

You know what I mean? They just can't get you know. Even AI I mean. He wasn't in the league all that long actually.

Speaker 2:

No, he wasn't at all. Yeah, I mean it's just not, but I think he retired way too soon.

Speaker 1:

He probably did, I don't know. I don't know what his I mean, because he ended up, Didn't he go to Denver? He went to Denver right to play with Carmelo for a minute.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I think so.

Speaker 1:

He does do, yeah, he does.

Speaker 3:

He does he does do.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, he does, he does like, because lebron does like he. He's got like a hyperbolic, hyperbaric chamber and he and he as soon as, at 18 years old, he hired a chef to cook for him, immediately I was the first thing he did with all his money was hire a chef to put it the right food in his body, like diet wise. So I mean he, he did take care of his body better than anyone else. But you can't hold back time. I mean he extended it and he looked good three years ago. He looks okay now. I mean he doesn't look.

Speaker 2:

I mean Well them ditty parties. He was going to kind of probably, Well, yeah.

Speaker 1:

Have you seen?

Speaker 2:

the song.

Speaker 1:

No, no, no what what song?

Speaker 2:

what song you're talking about? The one that we did the other day? No, somebody, somebody, what's his name? I don't know one of them rappers. He came out with a dogging song on him on bron, or did he, did he?

Speaker 1:

oh no, there's a, there's lebron, and like he's got nothing on but a little maid's costume.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I've seen that. It's weird. I was like, is that real or is?

Speaker 1:

that AI shit? Is that real? That's deep fake shit for sure no question Deep fake. That is some deep fake shit. My girl's calling off this morning who we got. It's that, ashley, she's calling off and who we got. It's that Ashley. She's calling off and I seen it on the crew app.

Speaker 2:

Now she's trying to call me. I seen it.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, so I hope I don't have to bartend this morning. Which one's that? Ashley, she's the newer blonde girl that just took over for days, like she wanted just days. No, brittany was more like Azare. Azare replaced Brittany. Oh okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, she's been kind of doing what Bukkash's mode was, but Bukkash will probably go mostly nights after she comes back from vacation.

Speaker 2:

So, uh, let's see. Oh, so what happened with that one dude?

Speaker 1:

Tom Brady playing until he? That's doesn't matter, he doesn't have. He just sat in a pocket and threw, so it doesn't. I mean it's. You know, he just had to have a line so he didn't get hit too hard what about that guy that? And if you even breathed on him, you got a freaking foul the issues.

Speaker 2:

Huh issues here this week the issues.

Speaker 1:

That's what a lot of people are probably tuning in for today to see what happened. I posted that picture on uh the the guy and I said anybody know who it is?

Speaker 1:

his name's buck, by the way and I've seen him, I've talked, to him in here before and uh, but he pulled in and I've I got the video. I'll probably share it on madhouse bar talk, but I wanted to talk talk about it first, but he pulled in. He backed in, actually backed into the gravel spot right there at like, basically just directly across from from the patio there.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, the patio entrance.

Speaker 1:

He, he backs into the space and he, he fucking guns it as he's backing in and he I mean, and it's you go down there, it's still there. There's probably about eight feet of just trenched out gravel and he slung all that gravel everywhere and it went all over the cars near it, the whole parking lot, like it was crazy. And malibu, standing there when he does it, it's like freaking, she gets peppered standing. She was like walking out on a smoke break. She was like out, like out, like right outside the patio right there and Megan was working the bar.

Speaker 1:

So Megan goes out to look at her car and it's got, it's got rocks in it you know what I mean. And she's saying something to him and he's blowing her off and like you know, like she's being too much and this and that. So she just finally goes, walks around to the back of the car, kind of runs to the back of his truck to take a picture of his license plate. And when she runs back there to get the picture, he runs around the car and he just like his heart like shoves the shit out of her, like pushes her, she like goes up against the van that's parked next to him and stuff. It's like mean, just a grown ass man. The man in that picture pushing a 20 some year old girl, wow, like, because they don't like that. You great, you peppered their fucking car. She works hard for a car, why? Why, you know what I mean. That I don't blame her. I'd be pissed too, and it was. It's unnecessary. That's never happened here. Nobody's ever had to like Duck from rocks.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I mean it's just. I mean it's just, it was just completely unnecessary. You're just spinning rocks everywhere. That was unnecessary on a job site where there's rocks, like a gravel drive would be unnecessary, let alone in a normal parking lot. You know what I mean? Right, right, it was just. Oh, it was just an asshole, so I just wanted his name in the case. Megan wanted to call and I mean she got a picture of his plate before she got shoved, so that way she can deal with it and go.

Speaker 2:

I seen her grab her wrist on the video. Her wrist, yeah, I think she like when he pushed her into that car. She grabbed her wrist.

Speaker 1:

Like it hurt. Yeah, well, I mean mean it's possible? I don't, I didn't really didn't pay. I didn't pay attention to that, like after the fact, like I got to that point and then kind of I was that was pissed at that point, like what are you kidding me?

Speaker 2:

yeah, I don't. There's no need for. That was way out of that was.

Speaker 1:

You don't ever put your hands on somebody, and even if it was a grown man, you don't put your hands on him, but that's what there's laws for.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, absolutely. But a girl like you're going to go push a young bartender like that, that's just, oh, that's gross, it's gross. So that was the reason that I posted him on there. I just wanted to know who he was. But I've gotten so many people like reaching out to me, trying to, you know, tell me who it is, and this and that, and yesterday, though, that azaray comes upstairs, she goes, there's somebody on the phone, it's real important. They said they need to talk to you about the, about the guy you posted, and it's like that's not important. I don't, that's not. I. I tell these girls over and over and they never get it that if somebody is important and needs to talk to me, they have my cell phone number.

Speaker 2:

Right, right, I mean anybody who's calling there just is not the same thing Take a message, send a number and if it's important, you'll call them back. Yeah, it's something crazy.

Speaker 1:

Yeah that, uh, stop fucker. Now see that did it. It timed out. This is the problem with this bullshit. So, anyways, that's what that was all about. But yeah, he's flunked, and then he just took off, he just left. I mean, he never was here, he never came in or nothing, he just literally did that and dipped.

Speaker 2:

So I was a picture where he's walking towards the bar that was when megan came out and confronted him.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, that was once she confronted him, he walked over the car and like that was bad mouthing her and you know, wow, oh yeah, it was crazy. It was crazy. And then, like tex goes, that's weird, because he goes, I I sat and talked to him because he's trying to sell that truck. He goes and I never got an asshole vibe from him and I go, I go, how much is he trying to sell the truck for? He said 17 000. I go, that's not an asshole. 17 000 for that piece of shit. I mean that that's as asshole as it comes. 17 000, the fuck, you think you got over there? Yeah, that's an asshole for sure. I don't know what he was talking about yeah, that's unnecessary.

Speaker 2:

You push a girl, a little girl no, he didn't, brian.

Speaker 1:

Nobody's seen it. He got in his truck and left immediately. He would have, though they, they, they started coming out right when he got in his truck. They started coming out for sure. Yeah, he would have definitely got himself in some problems if he had tried to walk in at that point after he did that dumb shit. It just doesn't make sense. I just don't get it why. I mean Right.

Speaker 2:

Like you said, nobody here ever had a problem with him.

Speaker 1:

No, he always seemed fine. I mean he came in and he seemed like a good dude. I mean kind of seemed like somebody my dad knew or something Like I don't know him, but he looks like one of my dad's friends would look, you know.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I understand that.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but what a shame. Yeah, first person that knew him that said they know who it is. It was Catherine Kovach. I don't know who he is exactly.

Speaker 2:

You know, I've seen him around. I don't really know him, but I never had no bad vibes from him?

Speaker 1:

no, I've talked to him. When he came in here, everything was good. Yeah, I had no issues with him when he came in here. Nothing you know, so I don't know who knows, but that was the story behind it. That was the the ridiculousness of that freaking stupid.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I seen the video. I was like I didn't understand it, because at first when you watch the video, you don't know what happened, and then, when you explain it with gravel, then you look at the parking lot and you see all the gravel in the parking lot.

Speaker 1:

Well, yeah, and if you watch when it happens, when he floors it back and in malibu's walking right there like she literally walks into the screen to get peppered, yeah, oh, it was bad dude, it was not, it wasn't just like people over reacting, it was ridiculous, it was absolutely ridiculous she just had a baby and shit.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, people acting stupid like that there's just no reason.

Speaker 1:

And he seems sober. He didn't look like in a video. He doesn't look drunk. I mean, he's not like. Yeah, I don't see any. I don't know. I don't know he doesn't look drunk, I don't know. So I don't know why anybody does what they do. It's just crazy shit and I don't understand it. That's the kind of shit that goes on. No having a bar, just random, and you know what. I think we've all done some dumb shit in our life. You know what I mean?

Speaker 1:

yeah but not at that age no, not at that age, but like I mean as far as backing in the gravel, like oh shit, you know what I mean yeah, but let me just come out and say sorry and fix the problem. You don't come out and shove the freaking girl that, once her, you know know, is worried about her car or whatever, right, right. But anyways, he can go to that new bar that they're going to open up on the river. Yeah, what's it called again, trent, trent's, trent's, joint.

Speaker 2:

A place or something.

Speaker 1:

Trent's Joint. I think it's called Trent's Joint by the River, trent's Joint by the River.

Speaker 2:

Where's that?

Speaker 1:

It's right, trench Joint by the River. Trench Joint by the River. Where is that? It's right next to the bridge that opens up. It's, I guess, like right in that Riverside Park, the old kayak rental place. That's where it's going to be. Yeah, it's called Trent's Joint by the River and apparently Trent is the son of Andrea and Jeff and they're opening the bar with Trent's name on it. I guess he was killed in a car accident.

Speaker 1:

So that's kind of like their tribute to him or whatever. So let's get a cornhole tournament together. Let's do it, come on. Come talk to me about it. We want to. We'd be interested. We'd like to get a league going actually is what we'd like to do. That would be real good if we could get a league going.

Speaker 2:

I think I talked to her this week. Oh yeah, yeah, I told her to come down here and we'll get together and put a league together, or not a league, but a tournament.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I league together or not a league, but a tournament. Yeah, I'm kind of excited about this this uh bar on the river, because I think you can pull your boat up, oh yeah yeah, I think so.

Speaker 1:

Oh shit, yeah, I'm excited about it because I'll I'll bring it. Usually once a year I come to the landings, you know, for a concert or something, with the boat and now I could go do that and then swing by, swing on the uh over there and maybe get something to eat while I'm over there or something. You know, if I can dock there, yeah, that'd be cool. I've done it before where I went to Quaker City. No, not Quaker City, I do that all the time, that's an everyday thing but no, the shipyards.

Speaker 3:

Oh yeah.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, know the uh shipyards, oh yeah yeah, but it's kind of like the shipyards is like you have to dock your boat and then walk a long ways to get there. You know what I mean. I mean they do have like where they they do have where you can dock and then they'll take another very I don't know. I just you gotta walk a long ways after you go there. So you find a slip, you go in there and then you gotta walk pretty far to get in there. It's not like quaker or whatever. I think this is going to be more like quaker, where it's right there, you know on, you know where you can just jump off your boat and be at the bar, get some food.

Speaker 2:

So my buddy never came. We got that free meal. I offered him huh, what's that? Remember when I offered um, what's his name? Free meal. Come on in.

Speaker 1:

Who was that?

Speaker 2:

Oh, what the hell is that Jared?

Speaker 1:

Who.

Speaker 2:

Jared.

Speaker 1:

Jared.

Speaker 2:

Was it Jeremy From Subway?

Speaker 1:

No, jeremy, no, no, jeremy hasn't been in. He works too much. I know he does. If it wasn't for working, he'd be in here just hanging out himself. He's working too much, jeremy, all the time.

Speaker 2:

But he listens.

Speaker 1:

No, he does listen. I'm sure he'll stop in and get one on you. If I see him I'll tell him. Or maybe somebody didn't say nothing to him or he came in.

Speaker 2:

No, he listens to it.

Speaker 1:

No, but I mean maybe somebody in here, he said something and they're like, well, I don't know, or nothing, and nobody talked to me or something I don't know Could be something I don't know could be possible. No, I said it clear on it. I get that, but that doesn't mean that the cut there that the waitress or bartender that's awaited on him was like, yeah, you know, I don't know nothing about it no, you know, I'm saying, that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1:

He might have came in and, just like you know, I mean, and they're like I don't know, I'm not putting nothing on you right, especially if it was amanda. Some of the new girls might be all okay shit.

Speaker 2:

I've had them come in and there's like 70 bucks on there. They said it was all you that was that one girl?

Speaker 1:

what was that one girl? She like, she like gave you the nice way yeah, you walked out.

Speaker 2:

They're like, she's like, you got those ones yeah, I got tricked all I did was walk out to the back to go get a cigarette and I walked outside. I went to smoke a cigarette. I come back in. She's going out the front door and she's like oh, here's your bill. I was like what the?

Speaker 1:

hell, $70. That was an expensive-ass cigarette.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it was an old $70. How much was it?

Speaker 1:

Probably what are you crying about? I see you waste $12 all the time.

Speaker 2:

It doesn't matter, it's what I want to waste it on Ro said go look at Messenger. Ro, barely leave me alone.

Speaker 1:

He said go look at your Messenger. He said that's what he said. I don't know what he's got sending you over there.

Speaker 2:

Oh, he's got a cornhole tournament.

Speaker 1:

It's an app to kind of oh for the cornhole tournaments yep oh perfect there you go, ann Marie so it's an app, I guess, and then it's for a local area, or I don't know.

Speaker 2:

We'll look into it after the show okay, alright.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I think that'd be awesome to get the cornhole going with the local. I think that'd be awesome to get the cornhole going with the local. I think that'd be amazing. Yeah, that's exciting that's exciting.

Speaker 2:

Cornhole shit, yeah, yeah, we could um. Everybody likes cornhole yeah, yeah but you see that they got a different one. It's like a tube and it's like a round platform, and if you get it on the platform or something and then the tube, it's like a plastic thing I saw, I saw it just looks harder, I think it'll be pretty.

Speaker 1:

I saw a reel where they were paying 580. Yeah, I seen that 580 bucks a throw or something.

Speaker 2:

Well, that was almost like a thing, every week you would put money into it. It wasn't like that what somebody put in it at first. It was like everybody put in five dollars to throw. So it wasn't like that what somebody put in it at first. It was like everybody put in $5 to throw. So it built up to that.

Speaker 1:

But these people were paying $580 a throw. The one I saw, $580? $580 a throw they were throwing it. So like two throws was like $1,160. But if they hit, I think that the payout was the whole pot. It was massive, I think. Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 1:

Post tourney on there and people will come in the hundreds. Okay, all right. All right, we'll set it up. Then We'll do it. We're going to do that little poll. How many boards do you think we need? I've got two sets. Do I need more than that for tournaments? We'll make some. I mean I can get more boards, I don't care. I mean I'll go to the same guys that made these ones. They work pretty good. I like those with the little light in it and stuff.

Speaker 1:

Yeah yeah, he puts a nice thing on it. What's his name? Adam Elgar makes them nice too. He's the one who made the original Madhouse ones. Was that Ogle that ran those over? Who?

Speaker 2:

was it.

Speaker 1:

I can't remember when it was.

Speaker 2:

Ogle be busting up some shit, don't he? Yeah, I don't know, that might be that Freemason shit. I don't know.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, what is that about? How many do you think, Brian, do I need to run a tournament? What do Like to run a tournament?

Speaker 2:

what do I need? I'd say about six, six sets.

Speaker 1:

To do a tournament. How many do I need? That's the question. It's a simple question. There's a number involved. Six, I'd say six, what is that number? At least 11 sets for a tournament. 11 sets, it'll be that busy. Huh, 11 sets, holy shit, damn, that's a big one. Yeah, sets holy shit, damn, that's a big one. Yeah, that's, that's massive 11 sets. Huh, brian said we have 20 set. 20 sets, holy shit, no kidding. Okay, well, and I gotta go get some more started with.

Speaker 1:

I'm gonna need a fucking storage shed just for cornhole boards.

Speaker 2:

No, you just sell them after the tournament. You want a board? Yeah, you want a board. People would be happy with that too.

Speaker 1:

Be like Oprah you want a board.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, you want a board, cousin Lewis Auntie.

Speaker 1:

Jan Okay, all right, all right, shit, there you go. Yeah, I mean I'm trying to think where you would put like 11 boards, shit, you got the whole field, I think 10 is good. Yeah, I think that's what you got to do is set it up in the field. We run it in the field. I think that's the only way you could do it. But then what do I do about the parking situation? We just chewed up all the parking.

Speaker 2:

Like park on the street in front of that guy's house that gets mad when you play. Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Will you put a Bluetooth speaker?

Speaker 2:

out there yeah.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's good, I like it.

Speaker 2:

No, there's plenty of parking around here.

Speaker 1:

I mean I wouldn't go with the word plenty.

Speaker 2:

I would say you got that whole street right there. You got that street right there. You got the family dollar parking lot. They don't give a shit. They ain't never got nobody in there but six people at one time.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, they don't care, they're pretty friendly with us, yeah I got a question for anybody who's listening or watching is the stream streaming nicer today? Like, are we like less laggy and all that stuff? Did it it work? Did I fix it?

Speaker 2:

That'd be Brian to ask.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, brian's been watching it the whole time. Yeah, I mean, that's what I want to know, because I actually fricking, I actually was off wifi. Now I brought because I got the computer, I bought an ethernet, I got everything routed right, oh, you routed it straight to it yeah, everything's everything routed right.

Speaker 2:

Oh, you routed it straight to it.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, everything's yeah but I picked up that. That wood chips order it's great. Yeah, that's good. That's what I wanted to hear. Yeah, because I don't have wi-fi, no more, the wi-fi is, it's, it's. That was the problem we were having before, so we're connected straight in.

Speaker 2:

So that's what I was, that's what I was hoping for but look, um, you know there's still a lot of good people out there. I went the other day and I was scratching off some scratch-offs and I had them sitting there and I was checking them but I must have missed one. So Tracy, my friend Tracy, came in the gas there and seen her and watched her come give me a hug and then I walked her out to her car. Well, I thought they were all trash so I gave them to him. The girl she scanned him and it was a hundred dollar winner. So I leave next day. I get a call, well, text. She said uh, the guy from the store said that the girl that worked with the register scanned my tickets and it was a hundred dollar winner no kidding yeah, to come back up there and get my money what?

Speaker 1:

where is this place at?

Speaker 2:

that one that had that burger king in there, that that burger king. Oh, that's my buddy that's jack yeah, that's the name jack jack is amazing.

Speaker 1:

Jack is jack. I've known him a long time. He used to own a dominoes, him and his wife pasquale. They owned a dominoes in uh, what is that? Is that strong as well? Or berea? It might it's one of the two. I think it might be berea actually where we're going, but he had a dominoes and he had. He at one time I think he had three or four, but he consolidated and just had the one and him and his wife would come in at like seven o'clock in the morning and they would be make all these pizzas. They had like eight different school districts in the area, so they would come in at seven in the morning. They'd make seven, eight hundred bucks before they even opened the door. You know what.

Speaker 2:

I mean.

Speaker 1:

I mean they were killing it out there. But then Domino's started coming in telling they have to do this, they have to do that because it's a franchise, right? And they just went yep, I'm done. And they went to Australia for a little bit and then they came back. When he came back he was working at his I think it's his brother-in-law's gas station on Rockside Road, and then he found that place.

Speaker 2:

But yeah, he does really well. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1:

There's nobody better than him. Dude. That is a great guy Like he's 100%, and he's interesting to talk to I didn't get to meet him.

Speaker 2:

As soon as I walked in, I said is Jack around? The guy goes. No, he's not in, but can I take a message? I said I did a scratch off here and they called me to tell me and he goes. Oh, you're the guy, hold on. He went in the back, got my money and shit and I was like oh, that's cool, Was I being cheap, only giving her 20?.

Speaker 1:

No, that's 20%. I mean, why wouldn't it be? I mean, yeah, it's 20%, she could have kept the whole damn thing. You know, one time I hit like what did? I hit $2,200. I bought a six-spot dollar, regular plays. You know, a dollar and a dollar and a booster. I hit $2,200. But I was getting aggravated with the girl behind the counter at convenient because she's taking forever to to to get to me, because she's dilly-dallying and shit. You know, she's just dilly-dallying the whole time. And then when she actually gets it to me, I missed at least one drawing for sure. So, blind draw, I have to learn out what that is. So anyways, the last draw, the ticket. I hit the 2200. So if she wasn't dilly dallying, but I can give her a tip, fucker, because she's just dilly dallying, oh, shit I ain't rewarding bad behavior listen, man, I swear, you got a tip.

Speaker 2:

You got that comes back to you, I swear by behavior I swear by it.

Speaker 1:

You tip good I ain't doing it, I ain't tipping. Bad behavior ain't happening. What's a blind draw? How's that work? How does this?

Speaker 2:

I don't know we got to figure all this out a blind draw is like that's who you play against.

Speaker 1:

Is that how it goes? Like you, you're not ranked, you're just playing against somebody. Is that what he's like?

Speaker 2:

you draw a name and that's who you play is he gonna get in there or is he just talking? Because it's a big difference if he's getting in it.

Speaker 1:

Well, he said he has 20 boards, so he's got 20 boards. That's what he said. He said he, I have to. We have 20 boards, that, so he's got 20 boards. That's what he said. He said I have to. We have 20 boards. That's what he said.

Speaker 2:

We have 20 boards as in we is another place. He goes to a bar or what. What does he talk about?

Speaker 1:

him and the mouse in his pocket. Oh, I don't know who we is. I don't know. Maybe that's where he plays cornhole in his pocket. He plays with his cornhole in his pocket. You come in and pay and the app does everything.

Speaker 2:

Oh, there you go.

Speaker 1:

His club. Okay, I got you. But here's the question Brian the blind draw, what does that mean exactly? I don't know nothing about it. I'm not a cornhole connoisseur or a dark connoisseur or anything like that the Eagles. The Eagles? Yeah, okay, the Eagles Club, but that's not answering the question.

Speaker 2:

What's a blind draw.

Speaker 1:

That's what we're looking for here. We're looking for the blind draw. What is a blind draw? We probably find it sounds so dumb. You know what I blind draw.

Speaker 2:

What is a blind draw? We probably find it sounds so dumb. You know what? I'm saying what is blind draw? Everybody knows what blind draw is.

Speaker 1:

The app makes the team Okay, so the app takes care of. Okay, I got you, so they just sign up and then the app blindly picks the teams and it's not based on rankings or anything like that. I got you. That makes sense, I think.

Speaker 2:

Man, if that randomly just picks like three guys, that are just killers.

Speaker 1:

Oh, the app makes the teams, so wait a minute. So one guy comes in and he's teamed up with just some random person. That's how it works. Like your partner might just be Joe Blow, right.

Speaker 2:

Is that what you're saying? Then you get a fucker like Stevie and somebody else you know. Is that what you're saying?

Speaker 1:

Then you get a fucker like Stevie and somebody else, but then is that your partner for the whole tournament then, or is that just that one round? That's what I want to know. Yeah, so I'm assuming for the whole tournament. Right, it's got to be the whole tournament once they start, right? So it's fair.

Speaker 2:

How is that fair? He wrote twice gear gear again has fat fingers yeah, short fat fingers it is stubby, oh what was his height. What did he put on there? 5'8 or so.

Speaker 1:

That's fair. That way he's 5'8,. Yeah, he's 5'8, cubed, that's great.

Speaker 1:

So you got the app. So send me the app. Send it to me on the phone, brian. Send me the app so I can download it, because I want to get it set up, and then we'll try and we'll get one set up for sure. That'll be huge, I think. I think that that cornhole is a big event, that the only thing is there are some troublemakers that come to cornhole events, aren't there what? I've heard that? Yeah, I've heard that. Yeah, I've heard that. Like you got to watch, like some of the cornholers are fucktards, are kernels yeah, Fuck both of us, he says.

Speaker 1:

That's wonderful. I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it.

Speaker 2:

How's that squared comment?

Speaker 1:

I think you made Cube, cube, cube. That's not even mine, that's brandon. Brandon's been saying that to me since I was like I don't even know. Once I first put on my weight like because years ago I put on all that weight at uh, I was like 240 or whatever and he was calling me six. One cubed dick which is what I was just recently was sick was 239. I was right there saying I don't think I ever actually hit 240. I think 239 is the actual weight that I got to. But that's when I say fuck this too hard on your knees and everything scotty said brian tried out for the browns one time that's's not true.

Speaker 1:

He might have tried out. Would they have open tryouts or something?

Speaker 2:

I don't know, brian.

Speaker 1:

Well, you know, as a kid, when we were kids on the east side of Lorain that was our whole life, dude was football. We would get up in the morning and go. It was just a matter of where you were playing. Was it going to be George Daniel, you were playing. Was it going to be george daniels field? Were you going to go play at longfellow? Were you going to go play over at creek? I mean, it was just where you were going to play. There was never a question of what we were doing for the day. That's all we did play football in common.

Speaker 2:

Did he? Did he really try out, or what?

Speaker 1:

I don't know, brian, did you try out for the browns? Scotty said you did. He was probably drunk in a bar talking shit to Scotty.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah, I tried out for the Browns. I told him, never mind, I had things to do tomorrow.

Speaker 1:

They took me too Right. Right, I was going to be the next quarterback On the bench. No, he did not.

Speaker 2:

I didn't think he did. I thought I would have known him. What's that guy talking about?

Speaker 1:

I don't know what he's talking about. Maybe I read it wrong. I don't know what he's talking about. He just says it's on you. I don't have him over here, I'm on Bar.

Speaker 2:

Talk over here? It sure does.

Speaker 1:

Huh.

Speaker 2:

He sure did say that To Brian.

Speaker 1:

It sure does, huh he sure did say that To Brian. Maybe he's a different Brian Rowe. Maybe, I don't know.

Speaker 2:

Maybe one that was 6'9" 6'9", like a pencil. Not 5'8".

Speaker 1:

So the studio is great. Everything seems like it worked good. The streaming is working good, yep.

Speaker 2:

Your comments are coming through quick fast.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, everything's working good. Yeah, your comments are coming through quick, fast, yeah, everything's moving good. The only thing that we got to do now is just I got to figure out that camera situation, which I will.

Speaker 2:

But that's going to have to be put on hold for two weeks because we got to get the other one going.

Speaker 1:

Right, I got to do the mobile device setup and then I've got to go. I've got Scotty stairs and stuff all came to the to the supply house Friday afternoon. So we're going to go pick those up Monday morning and finish up the stairs on the basement stairs and then start on the upstairs stairs. So those actual components won't be in until next Monday for the upstairs, but I can get all the downstairs done and get the drywall down there and stuff that I got to do. So we'll be over there. That'll be my project for next week and then in the evening I'll be trying to hook up a podcast, studio mobile podcast. I'm going to do it at home and that way it'll be easy to check and see if it works. But here's my question Since that's Saturday, are we going to, are we going to do a podcast Sunday morning still, because that's kind of our thing.

Speaker 2:

And what time is that thing? It's 11, right.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's 11 o'clock on Saturday. Yeah, we'll still do our Sunday, so we'll still be doing our Sunday here in the next morning. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Okay, that's up to you.

Speaker 1:

I want to get that Demetrius in here too. I think maybe we could get him in here darius darius, not demetrius darius there's record no from the three on three league, the grind league yeah I want to get him in here so we could talk to him about the grind league, and he's trying to get people to come play basketball at oakwood park in the three by three league. It's kind of cool. That's it, that's exciting.

Speaker 2:

I think that's cool that is.

Speaker 1:

That's really cool. It's exciting stuff over there. I like it, yeah. So I want to talk to him, because he seems to be everybody I talked to is like good kid, like, and I got that vibe from him that he was a good kid. So I mean I I definitely want to get him in here talk to him.

Speaker 2:

So you want to sponsor a team?

Speaker 1:

Well, we already sponsored the 3x3 League, not a team per se, but the 3x3 League and as a whole, the whole league.

Speaker 2:

Can you get a team?

Speaker 1:

I don't know, I don't know anybody young enough to play basketball. No, they have different age brackets so they have like young kids, they have teenagers, they have adults. So there's different. I'm sure there's.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, you should get a team. That'd be cool too.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, we could think about it. I know I can't play on a team my knees are shot. I ain't no way in hell. I'll be like you on the ground with Achilles going oh.

Speaker 2:

I didn't do none of that, I don't know, what you're talking about.

Speaker 1:

I walked off that field With a limp yeah, with a limp Shit. Everybody just thought you was cool.

Speaker 2:

Man, that was like nasty. As soon as it snapped, boy, that thing was like nauseous oh, what the hell's going on? Yeah, no, thank you you. Yeah, it was pretty bad. No, thank you but anyways, that's it for today.

Speaker 1:
