MAHD House Bar Talk
Brews, Banter, and Building: Beer Contest Revelries, Concrete Craftsman Tributes, and Mr. Deacon's Audio Alchemy
We're tearing off the roof with some unfiltered real talk at Madhouse Bar and Grill, where the only thing stronger than the language is the beer. Pull up a stool and join the raucous laughter as we recount the latest beer tasting contest that had everyone's taste buds in a twist. Ever been bamboozled by a brew? Well, Jimmy and Guido sure have stories to swap about that, and they're dishing out the dirt on everything from the art of the swear to the mysterious appeal of watered-down beer. It's a night of tales you'll want to be part of, so grab your favorite pint and listen in.
As we swirl our glasses and debate whether there's any truth behind vodka's health claims, we also offer a nod to the unsung heroes of the construction world. With Guido at the wheel, we cruise through the concrete jungle, highlighting the skill and precision it takes to pour the foundations of our everyday lives. From home renovations to round walls, these craftsmen deserve a toast for their hard work and artistry. And if you're looking for top-tier concrete work, Guido's got the scoop on who to call.
Wrapping things up, we're thrilled to shine the spotlight on the one and only Mr. Deacon, the maestro behind the scenes who fine-tuned our show into what it is today. His 25-minute interview is a goldmine of behind-the-scenes banter and sage advice—a must-listen for any podcast aficionado. It's all about the people who pour their soul into their craft, be it mixing drinks, laying concrete, or producing a hit show. So, let's raise our glasses to the folks who build and brew the world we love!
Proud winner of the Nobel "I Tried" Ribbon in Literature.

Speaker 2:Number five I'm going with PDR.
Speaker 4:Your five is different than mine. I can see this being PDR. I'm going with BBR. Your five is different than mine. I can see this being maybe a little less. Can I just put both of them? That's what I'm going with. My fifth one is tequila. Do you like tequila or you don't like tequila? I like tequila. Oh, I asked him. He said no, what do you normally drink? Beer-wise, bud Light is kind of my go-to, but I like everything. Okay, I'm going to say I'll tell you what you want to switch up to next.
Speaker 1:Let's do a tequila shot. Here we go. That's what we should have done Shot out a good night's fun and figured out exactly what we got, we got to get home.
Speaker 4:Mellow highlight, mellow highlight, bush light. I forgot about bush light. Here we go. You have choices All right.
Speaker 2:That's kind of cheating, though, because I only have that can and I said only bottle.
Speaker 4:Take one, two, three. Wait, oh Bush light, bush light. Apparently, mike keeps grabbing cars, thank, you oh all right number six guys. We're ready for PBR.
Speaker 2:He's already drinking six.
Speaker 4:It's not good, it's not good.
Speaker 1:From what I remember, PBR is delicious, oh man.
Speaker 4:That's a private scene. Did they even put PBR in a bottle? That's why, fuck yeah, you need to fuck me up. What do you think, mike, it's got hops? What do you think, mike, it's got hops? What do you think, liz?
Speaker 2:but, like good salad. All on mine too. I think my mind you would like to. It was not good. I'm pretty sure it was gin.
Speaker 4:Gin. That was gin Gin? All right, I don't think so. But she said oh no, wait, she's got a cup of liquor. I'll give you a clue it's not liquor.
Speaker 2:That's a clue. I got to do something.
Speaker 4:Daddy, light it on. I can't really hear you. We got final answers. Who wants to write them down? Your answers I think I wrote mine down. Stop doing your job.
Speaker 2:Oh, here she comes. She got it right here.
Speaker 4:All right, what were your guesses for six guys? Maddie, maddie.
Speaker 2:Bud Light All right.
Speaker 4:Do you guys want the answers? Now we want the answers. Let's hear it. All right, who wants to hold the paper to see what everybody said? I got it, go ahead. Did anybody say Michelob Ultra for number one. I did Well, you got the paper they were all the same in every cup you guys, I did do it.
Speaker 4:Everybody had the same're great here, I got it. You do that. Number one was Michelob, and it was a bottle of Michelob. Guys, A bottle of Michelob. Okay, what was number two? Number two was Bud Light on tap. Bud Light on tap that's bullshit. I was told it was going to be. I told her to make a bottle. Number three Do you want to know what? Number three is Bud Light bottle. Bud Light bottle. Ah, tricky, tricky Bud Light back-to-back. Wow. Did anybody get those right? Mike did. Mike got them. I think you got the first one. Number four was Coors Light bottle Okay. Number five was Coors Light Bottle. Okay. Number five was Miller Light Bottle. Hold on, who got what right?
Speaker 2:Hold on, we'll tally after.
Speaker 4:And number six was Budweiser on tap. I don't like these lights. Bud happy was the last one. Yep, okay, okay, I like something like that. What was five? That was not the last one. Five was Miller Lite Bottle. That was the instructions given. You were misled.
Speaker 2:I gave the instructions.
Speaker 4:I had to change it up just a little. That makes a difference. My instructions were Alright. So for number 1 you have Michelob Bottle 2, Bud Lite Tap 3 is Bud Light bottle. Four is Coors Light bottle, five Miller light bottle, six Budweiser tap.
Speaker 2:I got zero she was the one and she drinks yeah on the right.
Speaker 4:On the right, I think you guys all seem to like Coors Light. You're all going mmm yum, Really yeah.
Speaker 1:The one we loved was Coors Light. I, I'm pretty sure we'll have to review.
Speaker 4:Liz and John got zero. Yes, loser Score. Good job everybody. Oh geez, now I got to hear it all night. Good job, jaime See, who's number one alcoholic now, cheers, cheers. Can't wait for that podcast. All right, turning it off yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:So that's how it went. I'm the victor. I should have a crown on today and I don't. But I should. I got two out of six. That's pretty good for beer I don't drink two out of six is never good well, you know the thing is with Bud Light. Everybody goes to Bud Light. Even John said it, he goes. I'll drink them all he goes. But I usually just drink Bud Light. It's because that's like what they're like, it's marketing. It's just straight marketing is all it is and it's.
Speaker 1:I mean they kill it with the marketing. They just showed it right there.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, they killed it with the marketing because that's what everybody orders, that and it has nothing to do with what they actually like. You know what I mean, or they, they, it's just what they see on tv and they go but it. But the overall like the true overall winner was definitely core's light. Everybody looked at it and was like, oh man, that's good, what is that? You know what I mean? So I don't know. It was cool, I, I.
Speaker 2:It was a learning curve, for sure, yeah like I definitely learned quite a bit about that one. But yeah, I'm number one alcoholic of them all. Yeah, you got two out of what ogle originally go or ogle like, starts making excuses. You own a bar. It's like you drinking this bar way more than I do yeah way more and he changes up all the time too.
Speaker 2:That's the other thing. Like he, he's constantly changing. He'll like to be a smart ass. He'll try and like you know, like if he knows I'm low on something, he'll just switch and start drinking that and try and run me out of beer. And and he does in fact, run me out of beer. So, yeah, I was the victor. Yeah, john was pretty funny. I was liking him. I think we should do another one with like whiskey too, or, like you say, bourbon or something, maybe even tequila for the tequila drinkers yeah, not me, I wouldn't know. They'd all taste like turpentine to me. I don't like tequila, not even a little bit. Horrible, horrible.
Speaker 1:Vodkas, that'd be a good one.
Speaker 2:Vodka that's like doesn't have a flavor, does it?
Speaker 1:There's different vodkas, though, right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, there is. That's a marketing thing too, because Tito's is killing that one. Everybody's but Tito's is diet, though it's like low carbs or whatever you want to call it. You know what I mean oh, it's better for you. Yeah, yeah, that's it yeah, this is the alcohol that won't kill you yeah oh, okay, that's.
Speaker 1:That's just what I wanted to see two more weeks of life if you drink cheetos right right so, yeah, we got it in.
Speaker 2:Yesterday we got the contest. I kind of wanted you to be involved in it, though I thought it would have been better if you weren't there.
Speaker 1:Well damn, you took off when I got here.
Speaker 2:Well, no, I had stuff I had to get done.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yesterday for sure, but you didn't say anything. And then, like I said, Bill was sitting there waiting too.
Speaker 2:Oh, I didn't know we were going to do it earlier. Gluten-free, Amanda said.
Speaker 3:That's say it as tito's is gluten free, gluten free.
Speaker 1:That's the one that won't kill you, yeah but no, it just gives you two extra weeks. It's still gonna kill you.
Speaker 2:Just gonna give you two extra well, it's supposed to keep you thin right? That's the whole thing. It's a diet thing, right or no? I'm not sure. I'm not I'm not, I don't know I mean usually like people that drink like heavy liquor are usually not heavy heavy people anyways. Usually, usually heavy heavy drinkers don't eat. Usually that's a typical standard practice is to not eat.
Speaker 1:Hold on, let me say something real quick. Shut up, kyle. Why would he say he should add a glass of water in between each one to clean our palates, and he's probably not wrong.
Speaker 2:I was thinking about that, like. I was thinking like, what do you do to clean your palate? But I was thinking like a mint or something.
Speaker 1:But that would really mess it up.
Speaker 2:That would be nasty.
Speaker 1:No, you get another beer.
Speaker 2:Another beer, like just have one in between. Yeah yeah, they taste so close Like to me, like McUltra Bud Light, like Miller, like they all taste it. But there is definitely a little something different about that Coors Light Like it has some flavor, which I didn't realize that because I don't drink a lot of it.
Speaker 1:Remember when, like, okay, one of the girls or somebody got the keg wrong yeah, and nobody said a word. That's what caused this wrong yeah, and nobody said a word.
Speaker 2:That's what caused this whole thing to start.
Speaker 1:Nobody said a word, Everybody could not tell the difference. And then people are like I can tell the difference, I come in.
Speaker 2:I come in and they're like. They're like the Coors Light is empty and I go, I open up the kegerator. I get underneath there Full keg of Coors Light. I go, what the fuck? It's a full keg and I'm like that doesn't make any sense. I pour it. It's not tapping. I go, what the hell is wrong? I start looking at it the Miller Lite's empty. So the Miller Lite and Coors Light were switched. Somebody, whenever they set it up, switched it and it ran a whole keg out. Not one complaint about it. That's crazy.
Speaker 1:But I've seen that multiple times here and people just be like oh, I can tell the difference. I'm like okay.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, I mean Bill, though we've tested Bill and he's picked Coors Light every time. Yeah, oh yeah, he picked it every time. And now that I've done it a little more, I probably could too Like I probably would do better on a third test or a second test than I would on the first one, because as I was tasting it, I noticed different things about different ones, but I don't know where they belong. You know what I mean. It's like. It's like when you played a match game. You know, like the, the what is that? The where you've got a match too, and you see the cops here, and then you see the doctors here, and then the next time you pick up the doctor, you see the doctor, you remember where the doctor was. You know what I mean.
Speaker 2:Kind of like that with flavors, like I remember to like that coors light definitely hit different for sure, it had a little better flavor, although they're none of. It tastes as good as like a heineken or corona or anything to me. I like flavor when I drink, I don't want to drink water. And then they got that McUltra gold or whatever it was that we had.
Speaker 2:That stuff was real water, and then we had a guy that used to come in and put ice in, that He'd put ice in it, so it'd really water it down.
Speaker 1:Well, he paid you for a glass of water.
Speaker 2:Yeah, basically pretty much. Yeah, I agree, yeah, so what else you got going? On this week.
Speaker 1:Well, this week I don't know.
Speaker 2:Well, I mean this week for the podcast is all I'm saying.
Speaker 1:Oh, oh. I said I was going to give a little list of concrete guys.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay, yeah, we could do that. Hold on one second, let's do it. Let's do it. Guido's giving you his list, and here it goes. These are the guys that you think are good contractors in this area, correct? Yes For concrete only yeah For concrete because he pours concrete. He's a concrete truck driver. So here we go. Here's the list.
Speaker 1:Get a pen and paper. There's many more that ain't on here that I haven't had a chance to just sit down and write them down.
Speaker 2:Yeah, these are just the ones that paid him.
Speaker 1:Yeah, a chance to just sit down and write them down. Yeah, these are just the ones that paid them. Yeah, no, no, no, I'm just kidding. Reinhardt concrete. He serves Lorain County 440-654-8133. Johnny Schaefer 440-222-1219. He doesn't have his license yet, but he's in the process of it, so keep that in mind. You got Kenny Brooks, I believe. Kenny's a second generation 440-245-7690. Valentine or Valentin? What is it? Valentin, I believe, but we always call him. Valentin, Valentine or Valentin. What is it Valentin? I believe.
Speaker 2:But we always call him Valentin, it's.
Speaker 1:Valentin and that's Richie. Right, that's Richie, not Joey's son, but it's. What is that? That would be one, two. Well, richie would be the second generation and then the son would be the third. That's 440-242 9187. You got more masonry. It's second generation 440 324-2586. There's a couple more I want to put on here that I didn't get a chance to, so I'll put them on next week.
Speaker 2:Next week. Yep, all right, sounds good, I can dig it and those are all concrete. You've worked with them and you know these guys are good.
Speaker 1:I know these guys are good, yeah okay, kenny's really good, richie's really good, moore's really good, johnny's really good and Reinhardt's really good, nice, so you ain't going to have a problem None of them if you call any one of them.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:You sure, well, maybe no, they're all very good, reliable, good, licensed, except for who's not licensed yet.
Speaker 1:Johnny, johnny. Johnny's not licensed yet, but he's in the process of getting it all. But he could still do it.
Speaker 2:Amanda brings up a good point. If you had to have one, just one. I ain't going to do that You're not going to put it out there. Just that, just one.
Speaker 1:Well here's the thing. That's just like as me as a driver, I feel I'm in the top drivers. I can't say I'm the number one, but there ain't nobody better than me. You know what I'm saying. It's like once you get to that level, they're all good.
Speaker 2:They're all good. Yeah, they're all real good. Yeah, but to me, when it comes to contracting and getting something done, the biggest thing is just like the convenience level.
Speaker 2:If they can make it convenient for you when you're getting work done, then that's all that matters for the most part. I mean and doing a quality job, but if they make it convenient for you work around your schedule, I think that makes a big difference for most people, especially when it's at your own house. You know what I mean, where you got to deal with it in your own home and stuff like that.
Speaker 1:That's the one I work with is Johnny, and we just we're always around concrete, so we do them on the side, but he wants to go ahead and get his license and everything else, so he's in the process of it.
Speaker 2:Johnny.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he does quite a bit, though you guys have been doing quite a bit of that side work, concrete yeah. So that was your good project. The other week you did yeah, yeah, yeah, the hard work I put in there.
Speaker 2:Do you guys like nerd out when you're together, like concrete nerd out? Like you guys like no, no, you don't Cause I watch. Like I remember when you guys used to come in with, uh, what was your friend, the girl that used to, oh, uh, what the heck was her name? But you guys would talk, you would talk shop a lot when you guys were all together, all three of you guys, you guys would be talking shop, you know, all the time. So that's why I was wondering you know that's always fun, like because that happens with like me and Fortier, we do that. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1:I once put round walls and square room and stuff like that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he loves to show off his radius skills, radius skills.
Speaker 1:Who puts a round wall in a square room?
Speaker 2:He's done some great radiuses, but he does like at his own house, at his own house, like he does, put them in where they're unnecessary, or has put them in where they're unnecessary.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you remember that toy when you used to play with when you was a kid baby, when you put the square in the square.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the peg in the square hole. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the circle in the circle.
Speaker 1:So he's a little uh off on that.
Speaker 2:But yeah, no he's good at what he does, though I mean he he can get them done. He does a good job as a carpenter. He's not bad, I mean he's not. He's not he's not the speediest guy, but but he definitely does a good job. Make sure he takes care of things. But there's a lot of guys out there like that that are just. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1:A lot of hacks too.
Speaker 2:There are. There are that you know. Speaking of, like Johnny Stump, you know that we do a lot of work with Megan that works here. Her dad, their company is actually launching. He has a non-union hanging drywall hanging and finishing and he was doing some studs and stuff too. But he was a union guy with me for years. I had worked with him. We went to apprenticeship school together actually, and then he was at GQ for years and then he went on to OCP with his brother was when his brother left and his brother ran the drywall at OCP forever.
Speaker 2:Well, now his brother's retiring, they're getting in it. They're going to start now the union division when they're hanging it. Dude, they're going to pay everybody $10 over scale. They're going union plus 10 bucks and they've gutted everybody. Like OCP is is like down to nobody, I guess, just from like them paying all that. You know what I mean. Any good guys out there are getting paid better from them. You know what I mean. So they've really, and that's a good thing, I mean it's needed, I mean that's it's a ballsy move. You know what I mean. But the guys, the caliber of guys he's got, it'll actually be cheaper probably.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, because he's only got some of the best guys out there. You know what I mean. So he's going to make some money off of them for sure, because they're good, they're all real good, like that. Will works for him, you know, and Will's a good beast. There's a lot of them. Any of the ones that I thought of as beasts at OCP are on their way to him or have already done it. You know what?
Speaker 1:I mean, like you said, it's a ballsy move, but I think that's the right move.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so OCP might fade out. You might even see them fade out because they got rid of that Tom Luckern who was running everything, and that was a big part of what made them good at what they did. You know, Mic drop. My mom just dropped the mic.
Speaker 1:I don't know why.
Speaker 4:She's crazy.
Speaker 2:That's cool, though it's like an avatar of her.
Speaker 2:I love it. It's cool. She's got like a moon thing. That's pretty cool, it's pretty sweet. I was laughing. That was funny. But yeah, that. But that talk, that talking shop. That's why I like that. Uh uh, mr deacon, that I hang out with that, that he came up here the other day to me because, like you don't give a shit about this stuff. You come in and talk with me but you don't care nothing about, like um, how it's technically being done and stuff like that. You know what I mean. You don't give a shit, you just show up and talk and have your subjects or whatever. But me and him, I have fun with him because we just nerd out in here. He's showing me this, showing me all the settings I can change and the different things I can do.
Speaker 1:Look it, I just sit right here talk on this thing, and that's it.
Speaker 2:But that's fun for me it's kind of like you talking with them guys when you were doing concrete talk, or like when I'd see, will we always talk shop with OCP and stuff like that.
Speaker 2:I mean it's just or same thing with you know, when I'd see Anthony carpentry talk stuff. So he's like my nerd out guy with the tech stuff. You know what I mean, cause he's you know he's doing a lot of it as his self. But he came in this week and he comes in and we and he's like showing me all these different settings like to to change the mic and things like that that change, that adjusts, like how your mic works, and it's like filters you can put on your mic basically for your sound. And he's like showing me can put on your mic basically for your sound, and he's like showing me all these. I'm like, oh, that's pretty cool. It's like got a noise gate and there's like a background noise reduction filters, all these different things you can put on there. And he goes through and he starts changing the settings. I'm like, okay, is he?
Speaker 1:dancing a little bit while he's doing it, oh yeah.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, having fun. So he's showing me, he's showing me all this stuff. And then I'm like, hey, we should sit down and talk. You know, we should, you know, sit down and do like a little interview real quick, you know, and we ended up doing the interviews like 25 minutes. You know that we did the interview and I've got it. I was going to play it today. Well, I was going to slide it in here, um, while we're while we're on. But, uh, we sit there and talk and after I'm done I'm listening to it. I'm like I don't like the way the audio sounds, but he sounds good, you know, he sounds fine. And then my wife goes. I think he set it up to correct all his blemishes. That's pretty good. I was like, I was like, oh shit, I think he did.
Speaker 1:You're right yeah, he got me so he goes to every podcast thing got like a little aura around himself.
Speaker 2:But I mean, he went to broadcasting school so he's got like real knowledge and been taught real stuff. But yeah, when I, when I was listening to it, I'm yeah, I don't like the way I sound, that's weird. You know like, why does it sound like that? And yeah, she tells me that, yeah, he definitely adjusted it to himself.
Speaker 1:Did he have a little glow around him?
Speaker 2:Well, he was named Guido for a second. Yeah, yeah, because I got like the name tags on it. Oh, there must have been a glow around him. That makes him the golden boy. He's the goat, but yeah, it was pretty good. We might as well. You know what. We'll go ahead and we'll play it right now for everybody so they can hear it, and then me and you will talk about it after we're done, after it plays. So we'll go ahead and play it now 20 words.
Speaker 1:How long did you say? 25 minutes. So you're going to get a little break here.
Speaker 2:No, it's just like me and you. It's the same thing. Just sit and talk to him. It's just an interview.
Speaker 1:You could have played it when I left.
Speaker 2:Nah, but no, you got to comment on it. You know what I'm saying. It's good, it's a good interview. Here we go. All right, mr Deacon, the man who saved me with all the setup, no doubt, man, I was just throwing shots in the dark. Man, I was literally throwing shots in the dark until you got involved. I mean huge difference, huge, huge difference for me. Glad to be of service, yeah, even though you're not real. Still, we're not happy with the cameras. You say they move too slow still. I mean, hey, you know, glad to be of service. Yeah, even though you're not real. Still, we're not happy with the cameras.
Speaker 3:You say they move too slow still I mean hey, you do what you do, but you know what it is, you know what it is, man.
Speaker 2:No, I see what you're saying. I see the frame rate you're saying is behind or lagging or whatever. Yeah, If I go like this people are noticing it.
Speaker 3:Sometimes I'm blurry, like what the you know? Like, come on, man, you know it's just technical issues you just got to work out. It's a burden.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean, when you started you said how long ago you started.
Speaker 3:It was a while ago, Ooh about five years, five, six years ago.
Speaker 2:And what made you start, Like what was the first thing that made you start?
Speaker 3:I start, like, what was the first thing that made you start? I've always like I've always been interested in entertainment, and you know, now, with all the technology and the different media outlets and platforms that you have, it makes it more accessible for people who are not in the you know mainstream to put out their creative juices. Sure, yeah. So now, that's what I've always wanted to do. You know what I'm saying. So, after serving in the military and like you know, I want to say this I feel like this cause, I feel like sports especially, is watered down. Okay, you know what I'm saying, and so I'm trying to work on something to where I'm like hey, I want to give my brand, my idea of sports from my perspective, you know, from the black man's perspective, from the black man's perspective.
Speaker 2:I mean, what does that matter, though, as far as that I mean.
Speaker 4:That doesn't.
Speaker 2:I mean, do you feel there's a difference between, like, how a black guy sees sports and how you see sports?
Speaker 3:I think it is. I think culturally. Let me give you an example. I can't think of this guy's name.
Speaker 3:I don't want to get all crazy, racial or anything like that. But this guy made a comment when it comes to drafting, and especially what they did to Lamar Jackson, what they were trying to say, that he felt like a lot of African-Americans could not lead men to championships, which we've proven that wrong with Doug Williams, russell Wilson, pat Mahomes and the way he did that. They just feel like, okay, we should just run the ball, we shouldn't call plays, we shouldn't make audibles, we shouldn't do anything like that. So now you know it's 2024. The world is changing.
Speaker 3:You know people believe in this cancel culture stuff. It's so much stuff to me that gets in the way of just a great player being a great player. Whether you tom brady, pack my homes, aaron rogers, anybody, if you're a great player, me I recognize talent. I don't care if you come out there. You look like you polka dot. You know what I'm saying. And but some media sources to me they seem like they want to push an agenda. Like I said, lamar jackson, hey, you should just play running back, you should be a wide receiver. Huh, lamar wasn't trying to hear that. And now what did he do? How many MVPs that man done won?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean I feel like that a piece of that is what goes on with. I mean, as a white guy, I mean that's how I feel. I mean we lack. I mean in sports, when it comes to sports, you guys are killing us Almost. I mean in sports, when it comes to sports, you guys are killing us almost. I mean the black athlete is so much more dominant than the white athlete. Even my son I heard saying the other day something about I ain't jumping, I'm white and he's 11 and figured it out, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2:I literally heard that the other day out of his mouth in the front yard playing with the kids down the street. Mean it's. I mean I, I don't. It doesn't seem to bother me that much, I know I mean the not winning the championship bothers anybody who's not gonna win the championship. Anybody's who's gonna not win is gonna take it personal. If they're a competitive person like a like a lamar jackson or uh or uh person like a like a Lamar Jackson or or you know, mike or Michael Jordan or LeBron James, you say those things and they, they hurt their feelings almost every time you know what I mean and I and I get it.
Speaker 2:It. Should you know what I mean? If you're really, if you're really competitive, that's going to hurt your feelings, correct, correct. But I don't think that has anything to do with race.
Speaker 3:Personally, yeah, I mean because you have a lot of great white athletes.
Speaker 2:Sure.
Speaker 3:Like I said, I believe it's the individual. I just like I said, certain media outlets push this agenda but, like I said, when that guy said that I forgot what year that was man it was just horrible that he said that and the guy matter of fact, it was, I think was it Walter Cronkite or somebody and he was like, yeah, it was old school, yeah, it was old school 60 minutes.
Speaker 3:And I'm going to have to pull that up and send it to you. And he was like what do you mean, you know? And it was just like it was just, the tension was so thick. You know what I'm saying. I was like, wow, you know. But, like I said, we've proven that wrong. And, like I said, I believe I would love to meet Tom Brady off top man, he's like one of the few people I would be. You know what I'm saying, because I admire what he's done for the sport. What about that roast though? Oh man, I tried to watch some of it. Man, oh, the old girl, man, she went bananas. I can't think of her name Nikki Glaser.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Nikki Glaser went. Oh my God, that was the absolute best roast I ever seen in my life.
Speaker 3:She lost it man and the other guy. He had some pretty good jokes too, but yeah, she just killed Kevin.
Speaker 2:I can't believe they said that about Aaron Hernandez, though. Like they went raw on Aaron Hernandez, I was like whoa that's a bit much.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I was like wow, but see, like I said, but you're supposed to take that. Don't take that out of context. This is comedy, you know, and I get it. I don't. You know, I don't take it personally. It is what it is.
Speaker 3:You know, hernandez, you know what I'm saying. You got so many people. You know Anthony Munoz, uh, uh, tony Gonzalez. You got these great guys, hispanic players who played the game as well. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3:I just don't think it should be. Hey, you can only play. That should never be the case. If you're good, you're good. You're not, you're not Right, and that's how it's supposed to be. But, like I said, sometimes I feel like the media paints a picture Like why that man got, why he can't just play I mean quarterback, that's what he's been doing why I gotta. But another thing you've never seen. Well, no, no, I had to take that back. I was about to say something.
Speaker 3:When it comes to Eli, too many players who've come out and said you know what, I ain't going to that team I think Eli is like the first person I remember that ever basically forced to say you know, archie got involved too. You know what I'm saying, no, he's not going. I think he's supposed to go to LA or something like that, yeah, yeah. And he's like, no, I ain't going there. So at that time Eli was like well, you know what. But when he only did that cause he's white, I'm like wait a minute Now let's go back about 10 years, when Gino Smith got. You know, he pulled. He pulled a similar situation, you know, and so Gino pulled it too.
Speaker 2:So, you know, it's just like hey, you know. But, like I said, the times are changing and well, I mean I feel like everybody, I mean we. I think we can all agree that that, that, um, it seems like Hispanics play baseball better than anyone else. It seems like they run in it.
Speaker 2:It seems like it seems like you know, blacks do better in basketball or or more athletic situations with. To me, I feel like basketball is a more athletic sport than football. I know a lot of people talk bad about it, but to me I think it is. Why do you say that? Because it's the nonstop no rest. I mean there's no rest to that and they're getting beat up in there, but there's no's no rest. I mean you have to be so well conditioned to play basketball. I mean you're up and down the court. You can't. I mean at any given chance they're gonna, they're gonna just keep going. You know what I'm saying and I just I don't know. I'm not.
Speaker 3:That's how I feel anyways, yeah, lebron, he will pay, mean in total don't get me wrong with the timeout 40 minutes, 35, 40 minutes, oh, when he was in Cleveland Always, I mean, and yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 2:But with no major rest. I mean in the football field. You got your whole. I mean dependent. It all comes down to like how well defense is holding them off, or I mean you might get long rest, you might get short rest, so you still got to be winded.
Speaker 3:I think yeah, playing both sides, playing wide receiver and playing cornerback. I think defensively, yeah, but it was time. Offensively, I knew I wouldn't get the ball. We knew that we still got to act like we. You know you gas either way Like dude, can I getting the ball? We knew that we still gotta act like we. You know you gas either way, like dude. Right, you know so. But athletically, some of the cuts these guys make with pads on, these guys got another 10, but now I won't say 10, maybe you know more weight. And to make a cut and just knock somebody right out of their shoes, that takes a lot of ability too. And you got all these guys just running at you. Man, it, just it. Just I don't know.
Speaker 2:What makes Hispanics so good at baseball?
Speaker 3:Bro, I don't know, I don't know either I really don't.
Speaker 2:I don't understand that I don't.
Speaker 3:I don't know, but a lot of them, and they come over here, like Ramirez and I can't think of what do they call it Big Papi? Guys like that, yeah, those guys are in third world countries, yeah, yeah, and what they they're, they're training. Philosophy is different because we have certain amenities that even if you're in a ghetto, you're living better in the ghetto in America than you live in, better in, like in Puerto Rico or some of these other. Cuba I don't know about Puerto Rico, Well, let's take Cuba then, like some of these Cubans that come over here, yeah, and these guys are coming and this is it. I can get my whole family. I think the motivation and the tutelage is different for them to be, like I said, I just think the training schedule, the regiment is harder that they put on their people.
Speaker 2:Well, that's interesting that you say that. Do you think that that's why people come out of the ghetto so good like that? Because they're trying to get their family out.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I think that's a big chip on the shoulder when you've lived a certain way and you're like, hey, my mom had to do this. It's the whole thing with the NIL money. These kids are busting their ass. You know what I'm saying? And I've been deprived of this. My mom is working three jobs and we barely eating ramen, noodles and sardines, and I think that motivation, depending on where you're at in the United States, comes into play too. So you like it? I mean, I grew up in the projects myself.
Speaker 2:My mom was a single mom. She got welfare, went to college, put herself through college. Mom, she got welfare, went to college, put herself through college. I didn't go. I mean I played sports in junior high and stuff, but that was a badass. After that I didn't go. You know what I mean? I was in bad kid school and all that stuff, so I never really did all that stuff school.
Speaker 3:Did you feel like you could have potentially been a pro athlete?
Speaker 2:um, maybe in junior high, I mean I was pretty good, I mean I was actually really good, like I was better than most of my friends. I mean I mean I was, I was pretty, I mean.
Speaker 3:I didn't get no effort though.
Speaker 2:Football, football, football, only for me. Yeah, my dad was like that's the only sport that existed in my house. To my dad, you know what I mean. Yeah, they would try to get to me to play basketball, like in seventh grade. When I came in, I was probably like five, 11 and seventh grade, wow. But so they were trying to get me to play basketball. But I mean I was only six, one by the time I got out of school. So I mean I didn't grow a whole lot after that, but I went through this huge spurt over everybody at seventh grade, you know. But I and and I had to me basketball wasn't like real, you know what I mean. And then, all of a sudden, jordan came around and then I started loving basketball Correct, you know what I mean Started really learning like Mark Price and all the you know the Cavs back in the day. I mean that was.
Speaker 2:But before that, my dad I mean he was football, that's it. My grandfather was baseball. My dad was football. My dad's still football. I mean I call him. Right now he's going to talk about the Browns. You know that's what he's going to do. That's I mean. And but either way, whether I could have been or couldn't have been. I didn't even give an effort to do that. I had no, I had no ambition to do that.
Speaker 3:I mean, I grew up poor and See when you said ambition, see like when you're in those countries, though they, they change that. This is exactly. The parents know too. This is our chance. They live vicariously through their kids.
Speaker 2:Well, yeah, that's a lot to say to that.
Speaker 3:They don't demand like. I've seen a video. This guy was training in Africa, man, and he was just grabbing steel pipes and anything he could do to train and he had some skills and I was like whoa, but you know, and you got people like David Njoku's family. That dude don't give a shit. Hey, he gangsta with it yo.
Speaker 2:I love it. Yeah, that guy don't give a shit.
Speaker 3:I mean, he just Look at what's his background.
Speaker 2:as far as his family, though, yeah, I mean, he's not poor, he's not, I mean he's just, I mean Life's good he's happy right where he's at.
Speaker 3:Yeah, j-o-k, it's a few players, that's so crazy.
Speaker 2:Well, jordan was one of the greats. I mean, most people say the great, I say the great. Actually I'm one of those people. But he wasn't in a poor family or from the projects. He come from a mom and dad and you know. He just has something in him that don't want to lose period, there's just something in him.
Speaker 3:He can't stand it. He said his brother was better than him. That's what he felt, and I don't know what spurred his motivation. And he said his dad did this. And hey, if you got it, you got it, if you don't, you don't. But everybody, it's a lot of competition here, a lot of competition. You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 2:Like I said, the motivation is in. The countries are different. You just have to have it. I think it doesn't matter, like I mean, granted, that might push you over the envelope, but I think that you just it's gotta be in you. I think you just gotta have that Like, yeah, like, just wanna like, like you ever watched a movie, the movie about the McDonald's the founder, I think it's called.
Speaker 3:Uh-uh, I don't think I've seen that one.
Speaker 2:It's a great movie. It's about the guy Ray, whatever that actually Ray Kroc that's it.
Speaker 2:He's the one founder of Mickey D's. But he really didn't find McDonald's. The McDonald's brothers did, and he basically swindled them out of it. Not, he didn't mean to, he was trying to do good by them and they were being difficult and at the end of the day somebody showed him a way to work with the real estate. Essentially, and by working with the real estate he actually owned the properties and actually was making more money than anybody was on the whole thing. So he actually had enough money to buy them out. But there's a line in there where he says you know, like with those guys, if they're, if their competition was drowning, they would jump in to save them. He said I'd stick their hose down their throat. You know, that's, that's aggressive man, that's aggressive.
Speaker 3:You have to be, and I'm learning that now and I'm trying to show love and I'm. It's this business, as far as social media, the podcast and entertainment sports is cutthroat it is, it is, and I I mean, and it has to.
Speaker 2:There's so many out there right now, though there's I mean, I think I saw that there's a million podcasts out right now I think it was what I've seen was 185,000 different.
Speaker 3:You could be right, but last time I checked I was like but when I started it wasn't even like that. You know what I'm saying. But, like I said, with the technology and the knowledge, now you know, with youtube and tiktok, and now I'm just like damn, I just like I wish I would have known that five years ago yeah, blown up.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, if you would have been early on that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, like the relationship thing has grown. I was doing on a speaker, I was doing shows about relationships and women and different stuff. Like six years ago. That has exploded on social media. Everybody's telling everybody how all the women is not the women's not the prize anymore and the man's the prize and you know high value people and all of that. And I was like man, I should have just kept on rolling with that.
Speaker 3:Done that too you know, yeah, and I'm like, wow, but it is what it is, man, but I, you know, I believe in it, and you believe in it and you're doing it.
Speaker 2:So well, I mine is. I've always liked it. When I was a kid, a friend of mine's dad worked at a radio station and he's a musician. He, actually he's, actually he does really good. Actually, he's, his name is Terry Goffey and he does a. He does a uh, it's called men in black or man in black, and it's basically a johnny cash tribute. He's an older guy, okay, but he walked the line, oh yeah, and he's but he's bad though I mean dude.
Speaker 2:This dude is bad. Yeah, he, when he was younger he did, uh, the grand old opry and all this stuff, all these big stories on on stage with hank snow and all these. I mean he was, he was bad. He was a bad dude. He gave it all up because he became christian. You know what I mean. And you know he started just doing gospel music and then charted there. Like I think he was charted at least three times in the top five. Okay, you know what I mean in the gospel music.
Speaker 2:And he worked at a radio station at night and I would go there with a, with his son, and we'd play with the, with the, all the different back then. You know it was cartridges. You would run, you'd put the cartridge in, you would record it. It was cool. I would have a lot of fun with it. I always enjoyed it. So when I started thinking about, I'm like you know what I would have fun doing and I've always said I thought I'd be good at doing that. I thought I would have. That should have been something I pursued.
Speaker 3:Yeah if I wasn't in that, you got it naturally. You know I'm saying and you know I think the gift of gab is not for everybody, you know saying I have people I've talked to man. They just get on, I got talking, I got to talk now, I got to speak now and they just be.
Speaker 3:I did an interview shout out to Aries Sports and one of the fighters he was just like you know and I really had to do some editing to get it out. You know what I'm saying. Like, dude, come on, you know what I'm saying and it's just not for everybody. I'm not getting in that ring, though. He can have that, that's for him yeah everybody got they, they peace in life. You just gotta, when it comes to goals, like you said, something that you love, you just gotta embrace it. Yeah, and that's what it is.
Speaker 2:I'm enjoying it and you really help. I mean, I can't stress how well that. I mean you've changed my whole, everything, my whole perspective on how to do it.
Speaker 2:Um the methods we ain't done yet. I mean you. I mean you honestly. Every time I talk to you it points me in the right direction and then I can. I can do the research, I'll put in the work, I will figure it out, no doubt, but I just don't know where to go. Starting out, well, you went to broadcasting school and I mean you got that going for you and, and, uh, that that helps out, that keeps you or that gave you those basic knowledges, yeah, I had a great knowledge, uh, beforehand, because I was doing it and but the connections, you know, I love ohio media school and I learned a lot.
Speaker 3:You know I'm saying, but it is what it is though, but I'm glad they teach you the technical stuff more not really no a lot, of, a lot of things I learned. I learned through trial and error, really youtube's amazing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, youtube is. Youtube is amazing. It really is. Yeah, I, I as a carpenter, it's a game changer for I mean, I like like Amanda's brother, joey, he's kind of like he's never really done a job too much, you know, at this point Not now, now he has, but back then he was a young kid, never really worked for anybody. He was working at a pizza shop and living upstairs and the owner, like, owned an apartment building upstairs and he started having them fix rental properties and I told her I go, what the hell, how's he fixing rental properties? That's crazy to me. You know what I mean. I'm telling Amanda and I talked to him and he says I don't know, I just watch your YouTube videos and I'm like son of a bitch, they got me and he does a great job with it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's all it takes. It's an amazing source and that's why those informational, infomercial type unboxings they do so well. Yeah, they're huge. Yeah, because you get this piece of equipment, you're like, ok, I got it. I heard so much about it.
Speaker 2:That's my next step, I think. I think I want. I want to talk to you about mobile, like not not a podcast studio, but recordings, like if I wanted to do a how to video on a drop ceiling or if I wanted to do cause I've seen how to videos on drop ceilings and they're a joke in my opinion. Like they're like literally, like like home builder type guys or whatever.
Speaker 2:Right, right they're diy and I'm okay with that. I mean that that they do it and they get the job done. I, I suppose. But I mean I do grid ceiling like I can run some grit like I'm. That's what I do for a metal studs and drop ceilings is my, that's my thing. So I mean I run in and it's nothing for me to go in to throw up 10 000 square feet feet of grid. That's a small job to me. You know what I mean. So that's something where I'd like to go in and do some of that, maybe some drywall, do some editorials like that and see how they do on there, because I think they would do well.
Speaker 3:I can do a little drywall you know what I'm saying from getting mad punching holes in while you learn some stuff.
Speaker 2:But yeah, it's just some of these projects watching them on youtube is.
Speaker 3:I was like wow, it's amazing, it's amazing, even on tiktok. And the dude was like I'm like whoa feet, I've seen females. A female just I can't think of her name she just took her whole, her whole wall, had a chimney. She knocked, knocked it out and put shells. It was beautiful, yeah, and I was like whoa, wow, and you're not going to get a lot of females that even want to get their hairs dirty like that, yeah, but yeah, it's just a great source and it's out there, the information's out there.
Speaker 2:It is it really?
Speaker 3:is amazing.
Speaker 2:When Joey started doing that, it shocked the shit out of me and then it's like yeah, it makes sense. You know, and I and I've, I if I'll be lying if I didn't say I've used it a couple of times in carpentry myself. Now you know what I mean. I really have, and I and I went to school for it. I went to apprenticeship school at the carpenter's hall, you know. So I mean. But he still can learn a little bit off of YouTube with the, with the right ones.
Speaker 3:So yeah, they're impressive.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and it's gotten me far with this. After you pointed me in the right direction, I had no clue where to go.
Speaker 3:I was definitely you know, I just share the love. Man, I want to be blessed.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I've seen it, like I said, I've seen it.
Speaker 3:I'm like, oh my man, you know, he got it set up, he doing his thing, hold on to me. And then we, like I said, you scratch my bad guys, I'll scratch yours, and we just keep it and we just grow together.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I agree. I think it'll be well worth it. I can't wait for you to meet Guido. Did you meet Guido yet? Yeah, he was out there. Oh yeah, at the dog park.
Speaker 3:That's where we met was the dog park.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, he's never been here, like we ain't never did no show besides that During the summer, except for to do the show or if we have an event or something. I mean he that's in the winter, he's here every day, all day, yeah no doubt.
Speaker 2:But in the summer he really just comes in for the show and that's about it, because he drives a cement truck and you know he's doing that, that Ford, they're putting a huge, they're doing like he's been there for a couple of months and they're not even put a den in the floor. That's how big the place is. They're doing like an electric truck or something over there, I don't know. But okay, he's been busy boy doing just porn. He starts at four in the morning. He's tired, yeah, and he's a little lazy. So no, I'm just I didn't say it.
Speaker 3:G I didn't say it all right.
Speaker 2:Well, I appreciate you sitting down with us. This was awesome, no doubt, and we did end up getting into some sports talk, which I was shocked. I guess that's what happens when you're talking to a sports broadcaster.
Speaker 3:No doubt.
Speaker 2:So for anybody who's looking for Mr Deacon, it's T-D-E.
Speaker 3:T-M-D-E, t-m-d-e, t-m-d-e Sports.
Speaker 2:T-M-D, e, tmde, tmde, tmde Sports, tmde Sports. And he's also on Channel 13 News, correct Cleveland. All right, thanks a lot. No doubt. So that was the interview that we did together, mr Deacon, mr Deacon, mr Deacon, which he says comes from his dad, was a deacon, I guess. Oh yeah, that's what he said, mr Deacon, mr Deacon, mr Deacon, which he says comes from his dad, was a deacon, I guess. Oh yeah, that's what he said. Yeah, when we were doing the whatever it was, tailgate yeah.
Speaker 2:Yep yep, yep, that was it. Yeah, he seemed like a real nice guy. He is. If I have fun nerding out with him, but with the tech stuff like that, although I feel bad about, like when he said my perspective as a black man, I laughed, dude.
Speaker 2:I couldn't even help myself, like I mean, I you know, to me it just doesn't matter, in my opinion right I mean, it's just his perspective and and yeah, being a black man does play a part in that, but also living in sandusky, where you grew up, plays a part of it, and you know your sister plays a part and your mother plays about. I mean your, your perspective in general. From wherever it comes from, it comes from somewhere. You know what I mean. So I guess it. It does have some sort of clout, I guess. But do you think he ate sardines with the ramen noodles?
Speaker 1:Probably better. He said you know? Struggling to get sardines and ramen noodles Did you say you could have went pro with some I keep running out of here when that was going on.
Speaker 2:Did you? Say something like that he asked me did I think I could? I said in junior high I might have thought that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you might have thought that in junior high I thought that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I might have thought that in junior high, but I never gave it an effort is what I said. I mean, when I was compared to the rest of the junior high kids, I was bigger than most. I was pretty strong you know what I mean. And I was aggressive, pretty strong you know what I mean and I, I was aggressive, I played good. Yeah, I believe that if I, you know, would have tried, gave it an effort, maybe I could have, who knows?
Speaker 1:okay, yeah, shut up, I was gonna be a rocket scientist, but I decided I'm not going to because I would be a fucking concrete driver.
Speaker 2:Instead of rocket science.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:In junior high I thought that. In junior high you thought that too, and in junior high I thought I'd be an accountant. That's what I thought my job was going to be was an accountant in junior high, that's what I thought I would do. I don't know.
Speaker 2:That's the way it goes, though sometimes yeah, I must have misunderstood what I was saying but I always have so much fun with him just because it's it's that's what I like to do, like this is my hobby now and this is my. You know what I mean. And I don't have anyone else like him that I could just sit around and like figure shit out. And but could you tell my, my voice was like sounded computerized in the video, like a little bit, just slightly. Voice was like sounded computerized in the video, like a little bit, just slightly, you can, for sure to me.
Speaker 1:I remember I'm listening to the sound coming from that side. I wasn't.
Speaker 2:It didn't have the sound that we had it turned down oh, you did, oh, I got you okay, so you weren't here, okay, so you were just hearing, like, so you were hearing it before it even was getting broadcast.
Speaker 1:Really right, yeah, yeah but uh, yeah, I just heard some weird shit on there I knew that's what it was, I saw your.
Speaker 2:I saw the wheels turning as soon as it came out, I was like I saw the wheels turn and I'm like, yeah, did you know what it was about yeah, for sure I had a. I had a clue for sure that that's what it was going to be about. I definitely did. But I mean it was, it was a cool little thing, I mean, and it you know the other thing, me and hep, you don't talk sports a whole lot either like that's not your thing either as, first of all, I think, all them athletes, the basketball players, will both.
Speaker 1:They're all overpaid, overpaid by a lot.
Speaker 2:See, I don't know, because when you start, I mean the problem. Because when you start, I mean the problem is is when you become a professional athlete, your life is like, not yours, no more Like. So you need enough money to conceal yourself from the public. You know what I mean. And that takes a lot of money to conceal yourself from the public.
Speaker 1:If you got a bench guy, ain't nobody bothering him.
Speaker 2:No, but he ain't making a lot.
Speaker 1:Ain't nobody bothering him, no, but he ain't making a lot, okay, so if you just bring that pay down so that they have to perform better, and then they get their money from their endorsements, like most of the good ones, they don't need to get paid like that. That's crazy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't know. They need to get paid. In my opinion, they have to get paid. I mean some of them are too much, some are outrageous.
Speaker 1:What about the ones that get all that money and just sit on the bench? They got these contracts guaranteed. Blah, blah, blah.
Speaker 2:Is this about Deshaun Watson? What I'm saying is you're going to get paid all this?
Speaker 1:money right, You're not performing. You should be paid by your performance, not by what your potential is.
Speaker 2:A lot of them have performance potential is a lot of them have performance contracts built right into them too, like they all of them should be. Well, I think most of them do like, but their, their performances are usually based on, um, like post-season and things like that. Or some of them are like on how many catches and stuff like that. I know like there was a thing a long time ago where Tom Brady threw I think it was Gronk like one pass just to make sure he got enough passes to get his bonus. I mean, there's things like that are performance-based for sure.
Speaker 1:I get it, but I'm saying all of it.
Speaker 2:There shouldn't nobody be guaranteed anything I don't know, I don't agree and most of that is like we were talking your career is over at 28 to 32 years old. So yeah, most sports, athletic, wise, you're going to get your. You're out by the time you're 32. So you got to make enough money to live the rest of your life for 32 by 32.
Speaker 1:That's when you open up a car lot or something.
Speaker 2:Well, yeah, you can do that too.
Speaker 1:I mean, that's possible, I'm just saying I think they should be paid by their performance, not that guaranteed to sit on the bench, or you got hurt or whatever.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like Deshaun Watson, he got paid big money. Or Albert Bell Albert Bell remember he got all that money when he left Cleveland like $56 million back then and then he was injured and that was it. He never played again, really played a couple games for the white socks and that was it. He got all that money for it and did nothing with it. Joey bell that is that's who I met, joey bell, but yeah, so it's cool with him.
Speaker 2:I like doing the nerdy stuff and I could do the sports stuff and then he always sits around, hangs out, we go, we go. Like this time we went downstairs, we were drinking, amanda came and picked me up and then, from what I hear, he stuck around, was hanging out and you know, same thing he did the last time just kind of hung out. The first time he had his wife was with him. She was cool too. She was a lot of fun.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but he's definitely my new nerd buddy. Yeah, but he's definitely my new nerd buddy. Yeah, I mean not that he's a nerd, but I nerd out with him. You know what I mean. With the tech stuff, it's a lot of fun. Yeah, but I got to do something with the mics, like when we do that, when we just did that contest, like there's got to be a way where I can make it, where you can hear better, like because you can hear Amanda she's by the phone recording it. I want to hear each individual person better as we're doing an event like that or something like that.
Speaker 1:There's got to be something I can load up for that.
Speaker 2:Just tell them don't get comfortable in my seat. Somebody thought it was Guido. They said Guido got glasses. I'm coming with you, man, I'm giving them hats. I'm coming here with one of them. Start talking sports. Yeah, just making up shit. Yeah, we'll just put mr deacon on the screen, our own fake mr deacon. Fake deacon, fake deacon. What do you got going on for memorial day?
Speaker 1:I don't know, I ain't playing nothing, it's supposed to rain and shit like 60% rain tomorrow, but it was supposed to rain yesterday didn't it.
Speaker 2:I didn't know it was supposed to rain yesterday. Later in the evening I got a little drizzle. Though on my way back from the marina yesterday I got a drizzle on the highway. It's supposed to rain today too. Isn't chance or something like that. Let's see, we should do the weather forecast. That should be one of your segments on here, Like you?
Speaker 1:can get up. I could do the naked news. No, no naked news.
Speaker 2:You can do that after I leave Today. Yeah, like they used to have, didn't they have that?
Speaker 1:Yeah, there's a thing called naked news.
Speaker 2:And they're just naked.
Speaker 1:The girls will start taking their stuff off while they're talking, while they're doing it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they just take it off.
Speaker 1:Yeah, a hundred percent.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's crazy. That is pretty nutty. You know what the thing is is like that Channel 13 news that Mr Deacon works at. That's an internet-based radio station, basically, or TV station. So they don't have the. I don't think that they follow suit with like. I don't think they have to. I mean, they probably do to some degree, like follow the guidelines. You know what I mean Like, but you don't have to. You can open an internet TV station, do whatever the hell you want.
Speaker 1:I'll do the naked news. Yeah, you TV station. Do whatever the hell you want. I want to do the naked news. Yeah, you could do you could.
Speaker 2:You could do naked news, you could do what it's an internet based. You know what I'm saying. Like, it's not like. You got the, the, the, what is that called the? The? What is it FFA or something? Yeah, some shit. Yeah, you don't have any of that guidance or nothing. It's just like basically same thing. With us doing a podcast, we can do whatever we want, we could say whatever we want.
Speaker 1:We could cuss, we could do whatever we want.
Speaker 2:I mean you can, but you're still internet-based and you can do what you know. I mean, granted, we go live on Facebook. I'm sure they wouldn't be happy with your naked news.
Speaker 1:Well, we just won't do Facebook.
Speaker 2:So you just plan on getting naked regardless?
Speaker 1:but at least you never like I've never watched it, but I've seen it like somebody have it on one time and I was just like totally freaked out, like what is that for real?
Speaker 2:and it's just where is it at. Do you know I?
Speaker 1:don't know, pull it, punch it up. Naked news naked news.
Speaker 2:Nah, I ain't pulling that up right now. I got to have something prepared for that. I got to be, because right now I'd have to search for it. Then it's got to come up and then the speakers are going to act a fool.
Speaker 1:No, no, no, I'm just saying it's a real thing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's crazy Naked news. But that's not a weather forecast. You want to change it up. You just want to do naked weather In the winter. Huh.
Speaker 1:What about shrinkage?
Speaker 4:Yeah, you got to keep the heat on it.
Speaker 2:And now Guido doing a live remote from Lake Erie on the Naked Weather Channel. That's hilarious on the Naked Weather Channel. No, that's hilarious, that's funny shit.
Speaker 1:Well.
Speaker 2:I think that would be fun. I think that would be a lot of fun, though, to do like a radio station or a TV station, like that internet TV station. That would be pretty sweet. What are you talking about? Like what they're doing on Channel 13 out there? I think that would be, a cool game.
Speaker 1:I've never watched it yet.
Speaker 2:I've watched a little bit of it. What theirs is is basically it seems like it's just a bunch of people doing it on their own. It's not like they have a news desk or anything. I think you could step it up. I think you could do a news broadcast every night or every morning or whatever you know what I'm saying Like you could actually do that and then have your other people out and about. You know, I think you could do good with it. I think I think it could be something that would be huge if you did it right, if you could get the right salesman to sell everything.
Speaker 1:Well, they're doing it right.
Speaker 2:They're doing it. Yeah, they're definitely doing it. Yeah, they're definitely doing it. Yeah, they're definitely doing it. It's happening. I just think it could be big, Because at that point, when we're just hearing about it, it's only been a year, though, when we're just hearing about it. So you know, I like the idea of it for sure. I think it's cool. I mean, nobody keeps like regular TV anyways. At this point, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1:I don't watch regular TV.
Speaker 2:What's better than to have your news? You could just go watch on the internet. You know this is two weeks in a row. I ain't seen Brian on here, Is he okay?
Speaker 1:Probably watching no naked news. I haven't heard from him.
Speaker 2:I haven't heard from him. I'm going to have to check in on him and see where he's been.
Speaker 1:You might have made a comment. You haven't heard of that.
Speaker 2:What did I do I?
Speaker 1:don't know.
Speaker 2:I said something to offend him. No, I'm just kidding you, sure I don't think so. I don't think I said something to offend him. I don't think. But I think I want to go to the marina tonight, but I don't know about tomorrow. I don't, it's supposed to be raining. We're going to be closed tomorrow. We're closed.
Speaker 1:Already why.
Speaker 2:We always are on Memorial Day, labor Day, fourth of July, any basically cookout holiday is not a good day for the restaurant. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1:At 4 o'clock. 40%, 60, 60 percent at six today.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so today's almost probably it's washed too, huh looks like it to me I might just go clean the boat and go home shit and tomorrow same thing.
Speaker 1:It's that.
Speaker 2:Well, I'll say two o'clock, it clears up oh see, that's good, then you can enjoy the last half of the day. Anyway, yeah, that's good. I know at my marina it sucks because when wait, when, when you do memorial day there or labor day, we have a bar there, but the bar isn't allowed to be open past one o'clock on sunday, like in the afternoon or whatever, so they close at one o'clock so you have no bar there. But you're there all night where typically when we go on the weekends it's you know, you got the bar and everything jumping off over there and your thing is right behind the bar, isn't it like you could?
Speaker 2:oh yeah, we watch actually that like we're behind the pavilion. They had a um friday night. They had bad juju there, some local like they're. Mostly the original group, I guess was all lorraine county but now the one lead singer is in Lorain. I talked to him a little bit. He was all like he loved Tipsy. He was over there playing with Tipsy all the time but he's in Lorain and I guess everybody else is kind of Bainbridge, north Olmstead, like Canton. I think they're all spread out now but I mean really good band dude, I mean really good. I guess they're going to play there again for the pig roast or whatever. But yeah, they are phenomenal. They did a hell of a job. That guy can sing his ass off and he kind of keeps it in it. It was kind of fun. It was fun we had cool. He had his mom was there. She was selling T-shirts and stuff and he's puts a shout out to her and then he goes and he goes, something about how good she is at sex and I'm like what?
Speaker 4:the fuck, did he just say.
Speaker 2:And then, Amanda goes that's kind of weird. And I'm like, I'm like thinking the same thing. And then she goes, like you know she's he's making a reference to like she made him and I'm like, oh okay, your head went straight in the gutter I mean it just was weird.
Speaker 2:Like I would never say such a thing about my mother, I just wouldn't do it, but it was. I mean I mean he was cool dude, he was jamming. They were real, real good. It was probably the best band I've seen in a long time. Like live band, they were real good. Bad Juju was the name of it Definitely would Looking forward to the pig roast, and I actually bought a t-shirt from them too, did you?
Speaker 1:Yeah yeah, their name wasn't Low Esteem or anything?
Speaker 2:No, it wasn't. They didn't go with Low Self-Esteem. I don't know why. I don't know why you wouldn't go with that name, Right? I mean, that is such the perfect name. I mean it's almost like gutter spike, right? Yeah, Like gutter spike nine-inch nails it's like the only nine-inch nail I know is a gutter spike. But yeah, that was fun, I don't know. So you're doing nothing. I don't know what I'm doing.
Speaker 1:I don't make plans, I just do whatever, we'll figure it out.
Speaker 2:You shouldn't make plans. Why? Because then maybe you could show up and do a beer tasting contest when we have one.
Speaker 1:When you have one.
Speaker 2:It's over now.
Speaker 1:You didn't do it the way I was planning on doing it. I was going to do it different.
Speaker 2:What was you going to do? Let's hear it.
Speaker 1:I just have to show you.
Speaker 2:Let's hear the great ideas of Keto.
Speaker 1:You'll see.
Speaker 2:No, no, give them to me. No, no, no, no.
Speaker 1:You did it, your way, I'll do it my way. We'll see which one was better.
Speaker 2:Well, what else are you going to do? Nobody was here hardly. I mean not nobody, but I like John. John was cool, he was a nice little add to that, and I mean they, and Liz is always funny. My mom is packing for the music festival.
Speaker 2:When is it? Cigarette test next. See who knows their band. I don't know what that means. Cigarette test next. See who knows their band. Oh, their brand. Cigarette test next. Oh, oh, oh, oh oh. I'm still on bands and I seen brand and thought it said band. Cigarette test next to. Oh, oh, oh, oh oh. I'm still on bands and I seen brand and thought it said band Cigarette tech. So people that smoke have them hit it.
Speaker 1:We're not trying to advertise cigarettes.
Speaker 2:No, but alcohol and liquor, that's fine.
Speaker 1:Naked news and stuff.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's fine, just not cigarettes, no, no, cigarettes is bad. Okay, that's right. No, that's not a bad one, though. Cigarette test isn't a bad one, but it's limited to people who smoke, right.
Speaker 1:As long as everything, not everybody drinks.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and then like if you were doing it like you smoke menthol, I smoke non-menthol. Like that's it. Like you smoke menthol, I smoke non-menthol. Like that's just like those two we could tell. But who knows, yeah, is it a Kohl's or a— it would be wonder, like. I would wonder like if you could really taste the difference from a Maverick to a Newport, like if you were secret smoking it. I wonder if you could. I mean because I mean Newports are a lot of money compared to Mavericks, so you should be tasting the difference If you don't, that's bad.
Speaker 1:Right, yeah, I mean, what are you paying?
Speaker 2:What is Newport Cigarettes? Now, phew, weed's cheaper. Let's put it that way Weed is cheaper. My mom wants to have you smoke the weed and figure out what it is. Have everybody all stoned?
Speaker 1:My mom wants to have you smoke the weed and figure out what it is.
Speaker 2:I like everybody that volunteers me to do stuff. Yeah, no, why not?
Speaker 1:Do your own stuff.
Speaker 2:Nobody's volunteering you to do anything. They're just saying that's what to do next, not you. You don't show up for it anyway.
Speaker 1:I was here. What are you talking about?
Speaker 2:Whatever, all right, so I'm going to head to the marina. I'm going to edit this a little bit and then I'll head to the marina. I got to get the George. They've been tearing up some pool tabs the last couple days. I just looked it's empty again and I just filled it. Yesterday I emptied out one that was like the last l200.
Speaker 1:how'd you do not good how much was in there, 320, 320 to buy it out and you got the 200, so you didn't make another 120. I made about 100 and about no 70, 79 or something.
