SPEAKER_02

SPEAKER_01

We're going.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_01

What's up, people?

SPEAKER_02

Gang. I thought we were still mic checking. We are. Where's Mike? Always. That's what we should have been. Do a mic check. Mike!

SPEAKER_00

There's no mic here. There's no mic here.

SPEAKER_02

All right. Speaking of Mike, Mary Catherine thinks I worked with this dude for like three years, and she always called him Black Mike. He's white. He's so white. He's like Ryder Harley White.

SPEAKER_01

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_02

He's white Mike.

SPEAKER_01

White Mike. Okay.

SPEAKER_02

And I was like, I've never, nothing I've ever said about Mike would make you think that he's any color. You know what I mean? Like she was like, it's because you say Mike. I was like, huh? Huh? She was like, she was like, Mike seems like a black guy. Mike seems like a white guy. And I said, you seem like a teacher.

SPEAKER_01

I was like the pronunciation was gender, had a gender at it. Ennunciation. It was like the enunciation was gender. Had a gender to it. She probably thought gender. What am I talking about, Jackson? It's the hard eye.

SPEAKER_02

That's funny, though.

SPEAKER_01

That is funny. Well. Well, people, we have a historical first for coherent nonsense. Our first guest, JC Ridgeway.

SPEAKER_02

I was gonna say, guess who it is?

SPEAKER_01

Guessed who dang. I should have let you talk while I'm even talking.

SPEAKER_02

No one would have ever guessed. Two. Man. Two. Thank God I didn't say I didn't use that on mic check.

SPEAKER_01

Would have been wasted.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. JC Ridgway. Me.

SPEAKER_01

I'm here. He's a songwriter. Fantastic locksmith. Yeah. Most of the time. He you should have led, but hilarious. Hilarious.

SPEAKER_02

He might have been funnier than both of us for a long time.

SPEAKER_01

I don't want to put him on the spot. Yeah. Yeah. Be funny. Do something funny. Your guest be funny now.

SPEAKER_02

Two things I know about Justin. He's hilarious, and I he can take like a suplex off a porch.

SPEAKER_00

I can.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. He could.

SPEAKER_00

I can black out after the the walls of Jericho. Remember that? Yes. That was that was great. You blooded.

SPEAKER_01

One time. One time when we were little. Well, yeah, when we were, you know, uh wrestling on the trampoline age, we we were doing our thing, and I had him down. And uh I was going to the railing of the circle trampoline, you know, for the top rope. Yep. And I proceeded to do I proceeded to do a moonsault, and my kneecap landed square in JC's nose. That thing went. He immediately got up. All I heard was and literally blood coming out of his nose. Like I turned on the faucet. Yeah, yeah, and turned down. There was blood. I will add he you were always susceptible to nose blades.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, yeah. In general.

SPEAKER_02

So yeah, anytime you need me in the nose, I'll bleed, I promise.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. If I think about my nose hard enough, it'll bleed.

SPEAKER_01

So I think that was the last time we wrestled on a trampoline. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

It was like a break, though. That had to have been a clean break. For two months, my nose hurt.

SPEAKER_02

But I seen y'all wrestle wrestle through Mimi's house, like as you could you had licenses, but y'all could drive.

SPEAKER_01

We did the backyard wrestling thing where that edge is. How did you get the trampoline over here?

SPEAKER_02

Somebody choke slammed somebody off the porch.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, but it wasn't over there in here.

SPEAKER_01

Well, when uh that house was being built, we lived here. Right. That's when I acquired said trampoline. Yeah, I couldn't remember because I lived here from like time well age 12 to 14, maybe. I think it took Joey about two years, two or three years to build the house before we moved in.

SPEAKER_02

When'd y'all simpler time? You lived on Edgewood before?

SPEAKER_01

Edgewood before that. I don't remember exactly. I want to say we moved in here. It was Christmas Eve, wasn't it?

SPEAKER_00

I don't know why that hit just hit my brain. It was summer around Christmas or something, y'all, that was going on.

SPEAKER_01

I was in elementary still living here. We moved into my mom's current house now, uh, the summer between fifth and sixth grade.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, yeah, so you were like 12.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I was I was in when I lived here, I was this is a weird way of putting it, but you'll get what I'm saying. I was Mortal Kombat 2. There you go. Yeah. Which makes it fourth or fifth grade. Yeah, fourth or fifth grade were in there. Yeah. For me. But yeah, uh that what we were originally talking about, what got us here?

SPEAKER_00

We we got off track.

SPEAKER_02

Uh that's what this podcast is.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, we ain't worried about that. Yeah. Well, speaking of, we like uh the things that we were doing is stuff kids would never figure out to do. Like, who else would figure out that if you put a garden hose on top of a trampoline to where it just comes down like rain and you put a turtle baby pull underneath it and you sit in it?

SPEAKER_01

That's yeah, that's that's comfy times right there. I remember doing that. Did you ever do this? No, I never thought of those. Yeah, just get under the trampoline spa. Take the take the water hose, you know, like run it over the pole and maybe uh through some springs so it'll keep itself right there and just let it run over the trampoline tarp. And if you're under it, it's raining.

SPEAKER_02

I mean, I I understand what it was a nine-year-old spas.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, we were just chilling because it was shade, yeah, rainwater, and you're in a kiddie pool. Wow, it was awesome. Good times. That sounds good, right? Good times. So the trampoline, that's what that's what the conversation was. So when we moved over there, the trampoline went with me. That was very anticlimatic, but that's what we were talking about.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, but trampolines now. Did you just have the net? Yeah, all of them have like the safety stuff, all that net stuff. Do you remember when the trampoline guy were doing a move? I want to say it was a suplex, and and I think it's on video somewhere. It's gotta be. We did a suplex, and as soon as it hit, all the springs just went. All of them everywhere. That trampoline was.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, there was nets wasn't a thing when I was a trampoline. Not even spring covers. You know how many times. You know how many times I've I've scissored the springs like backflipping? Yeah. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_00

I've and when they spread and come back together.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. Yeah, I I we put up the net for our kids because I guess my mama had money to take us to the hospital or something. Right. Insurance was cheap in the 90s.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. And he got his first trim. Well, yeah. But we took it off. No, it's I mean, it stayed on there for about a year. But then we took it off.

SPEAKER_02

Nah, it's good.

SPEAKER_01

He needs to fall. Yeah. Little boys need to fall down, hurt themselves. Millie's already had a broken wrist, so she's been there.

SPEAKER_00

Okay.

SPEAKER_02

I'll be 45 this year, never broken to anything.

SPEAKER_00

I think I broke my ankle in high school, stepping off them bleachers that go into the wall. Uh-huh. And they were almost out to the floor, but they stopped, and I stepped down like, yeah, I got this. Why was you? He was like, why was you walking across where they were going in and you were No, I was they were just they had brought them out to a point like the last time.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, I thought they were like actively going in. He was like uh, you know, very uncharted.

SPEAKER_00

It was escape alert.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. Escape alert. That was hilarious. It was pretty good. You couldn't even explain that. Right? So you couldn't really explain it. No. You had to be there. It is a you had to be there. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Well. Anything new going on in your life, Johnny Loudmouth?

SPEAKER_02

Me? Uh no. Not really. School's about to be out. So yeah.

SPEAKER_01

When's the last day of school? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

I don't know.

SPEAKER_01

It's May now. I'm old. I don't even know. May 22nd? Dang, it seems deep in there, right?

SPEAKER_00

Nah, that's got that's close to that's about what about how it is, but these kids are starting at like they uh they pitched a calendar. It was like kids would start like July 29th. I was like, we need to get at least to August.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I think so. Stupid.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, it was like our 5th or something. Why I remember it being September. It would be it would be closer to the end of August.

SPEAKER_01

Because we didn't get fall break. All those breaks. Yeah, we all break spring break.

SPEAKER_02

No, you got Christmas, you got Thanksgiving, Christmas, spring break. That was it.

SPEAKER_01

But I feel like when we were in school Thanksgiving and Christmas was one big break. Why do I feel like that? Was it ever? I don't know.

SPEAKER_00

No. No. No, we'd go Monday and Tuesday and get three days off if it was Thanksgiving, right? And then that was it. And then we got uh I think it was a week.

SPEAKER_02

Do y'all do five days over there?

SPEAKER_00

Yes.

SPEAKER_02

See, we still on the four days.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, they're still on the 2020. They don't go Mondays. Like they go there every day.

SPEAKER_02

Which they vote it every, they vote it, and it'll be like this schedule for the next two years or something, and then they'll vote again. So but they they use like because MK, she's she's a teacher. So she has to work on Monday. Right. Like all the teacher, it's like a teacher work day. Every every Monday. So I think uh for the teachers, they like that to be able to prepare uh their yeah, because working during a planning period. Right, you get you got a period, you got an hour every day.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. People still come in and talk to you.

SPEAKER_02

But MK, she teaches the gifted classes. So I I think like uh once or twice a month her Mondays, she has like she's meeting with all the other gifted teachers in the county or in the their district.

SPEAKER_00

Rubbing elbows. I don't know. I don't know how good we are.

SPEAKER_02

She's not saying that.

SPEAKER_00

I don't know what the other thing is if I was in a gifted program because I never was, that's totally what I would say. I would I would have that air of arrogance.

SPEAKER_02

Well, gifted, you know, often comes with behavioral issues because they're bored. I was like that when I was in elementary school. I wasn't bad. Like I got in trouble, not a lot, a lot, but I was bored.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Yeah, I was bored, but I was not gifted.

SPEAKER_02

I was tested. I was tested when I was in third grade. Like I remember a man, I remember his name and everything. His name was Rob Stover. He came, I don't know where he came from. Uh, but I know he paid me $15, gave me some kind of aptitude slash IQ test, and I remember having a Rorschach test. Like I'm like third grade getting ink blotted test. And I cared more about the $15 than anything. And then they said I could skip fourth grade and go to fifth grade, and my mama was like, No, he's not. He's gonna go to fourth grade. Yeah, which she should have let me skip because when I was in eighth grade, I was supposed to go to summer school, and I I went to Florida. So I got to do eighth grade twice.

SPEAKER_00

I didn't get a chance to go to Florida, but I got the eighth grade.

SPEAKER_02

And it's it's not because it's not because uh, you know, the guy I I failed. I was gonna have to go to summer school to make it up. And I remember we went to Florida, and I think when when we got back, it might have been the second or third day of summer school when I was already out too many times.

SPEAKER_01

That's so weird. I did the same exact thing, dude.

SPEAKER_00

I got to end eighth grade and they're like, I'm sorry, your grades are not good enough. I was and at this point I had been to summer school every day since like fourth grade. Yeah. But this they were like, I'm sorry, your grades, even if you went, it's not gonna do anything. I was like, okay. So I got I did eighth grade again too. Nice, yep.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, what is this? I guess we got a club now.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. I had to go to summer school. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Josh used to skip summer school and I would wake up and he's in my room.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Yeah. I don't want to do that. I used to I used to the reason I went to summer school so much is because I liked summer school better than I was like, you can just fail through the year and go for a couple months and have a laid back teacher just like, here's your workbook, and do it. It's awesome.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, it was like uh it was like a summer of I uh ISS, but scope. Yeah, not so strict. Yeah, you could you could F off for 180 days and then but that only works if you're smart, you know what I mean? Like, yeah, that's how I was lazy because once I got to discovering like girls and she's pretty but I didn't care about having to divide something figuring out how to divide me up between this girl and Rockmart and Cedartown.

SPEAKER_00

Man, I have distinct memories when Green Day's Dookie album came out and I was going to Cedar Hill summer school because we listen to that every time.

SPEAKER_02

That's the only place summer school was at Cedar Hill. I went to Perks, but I went to Cedar Hill for summer school school. I went for summer school seventh grade too, I think. Like I never went to summer school. Or have I been the second time of eighth grade? I should have been way better. I mean, in hindsight, I think it was the second time I went to eighth grade. I still had to go to summer school. I didn't learn my lesson the first time.

SPEAKER_01

I've never gone to summer school in Polk County because they would never offer the credit that I need. Oh, or that's what my mom would always tell me. But I literally have gone to Cartersville for one summer, Carrollton for one summer. Carrollton was the one I would skip.

SPEAKER_02

That's when I lived on uh Valley.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

I just like leave my door, leave the door unlocked or something for jobs.

SPEAKER_01

And Cartersville was honestly the funnest. It was fun. They still operated the whole thing as if it was a day of school.

SPEAKER_02

Oh no, that's what it was. I was already out. I was done because I quit school.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, you was at E.B. Brown. Yeah, I quit. While you were asleep at 12 in the afternoon, still.

SPEAKER_02

I worked all night shift. Yeah, you didn't have to do that. That's what happens when you quit school. You go to night shift.

SPEAKER_01

Graveyard shift. Yeah. Pay the bills though. Yeah. Do what you gotta do. That's right.

SPEAKER_02

I mean, I got I got a good enough diploma. I went back and got it. You survived. It didn't help anything though. Like I still worked at the same places that the people didn't need them, I guess. Yeah. But now I can be a supervisor. That's funny. I just went uh Saturday yesterday. Had to have Jet at Pepperel at 7 45 in the morning to take his SATs.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. And I say that with an 18-year-old with Nico just turned 18. Yep. Of course he's fixing me drive.

SPEAKER_02

Jet will be 17 this summer.

SPEAKER_01

See, what's really going on? 17? Me and Sheree are 20 years married. 20 years, 20. Yeah. Wow. We've been married and together longer in our life than we were ever without each other.

SPEAKER_00

Right. Yeah. Me and Beth crossed that because I met her when she was 20. Yeah. And she's turning 41 in August. So oh, she's not gonna like you said that. Yeah. She's turning 41 in August.

SPEAKER_02

Quadento Uno for the Spanish listeners. She's old. I'll be 45, 45 this year. The only thing that feels 45 is my left knee and my lower back.

SPEAKER_00

Right. I got an arthritic thumb right now that I can't even bend. It's bugging the crap out of me. It's stupid. And I'll I'll randomly have a joint that'll just be like.

SPEAKER_02

Hey, that's called uh I think my mom had that. What's it got? Trigger fingers or trigger finger. Does it get locked? No, it doesn't matter.

SPEAKER_00

That's not it. The the difference in how that one looks and how that looks, it's stupid. It just doesn't make sense.

SPEAKER_02

Mess up your ability to grab things.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, like opening a bottle, it's stuck. I gotta put it right here and like hope I get it, or just do it with this hand. But like I can touch my palm with this hand. I that ain't happening. Uh uh. And you're right-handed. Yeah. That might be from something else.

SPEAKER_01

Locksmithing. Locksmithing, yeah. Yeah, that's what I was talking about. Yeah. Such a whole lot of it.

SPEAKER_02

Carpal tunnels up next because you're doing all the turning.

SPEAKER_01

From the locks.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

The locks.

SPEAKER_01

Any of y'all seen uh Michael? I want to. I haven't seen it yet.

SPEAKER_02

Black or white, Mike.

SPEAKER_01

I don't know what he is in this movie. This one just the black one. So he's black. Yeah, I think he's black in this one. Yeah. I want to see it. Nico went and saw it, and he said he really enjoyed it.

unknown

Right.

SPEAKER_01

So I ain't gonna listen to a critic. I'll decide.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I don't listen to critics for anything. I'll I decide what I like or not. Right.

SPEAKER_01

Uh I bet they don't address any of the He said it's only until the bad album, and then it lets you know that Michael will return, that there's gonna be sequels. It's gonna be his whole eventually, you know, be his whole career.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, that's cool. Well then I hope that movie does good. So then they'll keep going.

SPEAKER_01

Said sequels. I don't I honestly think it would be better as a HBO max. Series.

SPEAKER_02

I think everything's better as a series.

SPEAKER_01

Instead of a one, two and a half, three hour movie, give me season one that's five, six hours. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, or yeah, or do uh do a season per like Jackson Five era.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

You know, per album.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Or you probably have to go from Jackson 5 because you know him being the solo artist. Flush out all the stuff.

SPEAKER_02

I don't know. I uh my whole life, basically, I've heard he diddled children and like I never wanted to believe that. Like uh always wanted to believe that he was not that kind of person.

SPEAKER_01

And I don't believe he was. Like I don't either because uh if Macaulay Kulkin and Corey Feldman are saying what they're saying and they say he's good, I don't trust it.

SPEAKER_02

Corey Feldman uh is either lying about everything, or he's a piece of crap for not telling the truth. Either way is equally as bad to me, and I'm a Corey Feldman fan.

SPEAKER_01

Like I'm a fan of his guitar work, bro.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I am a fan. Did you know that him and Michael grew up dancing together? No, I'm that's a direct quote from him.

SPEAKER_01

I see his dancing skills. Chill out.

SPEAKER_02

When I tell you I'm a Corey Feldman fan, I know a lot about Corey Feldman. And I'm a I'm a fan, I'm a fan of him for a different reason than I'm like a body work. I'm a fan like Fred Durst is a fan. So if you if you know what that means, then you know. If you know, you know.

SPEAKER_01

You're a fan of his the way he views himself.

SPEAKER_02

Yes, I'm a fan of how much of a fan he is of himself. Yes, exactly right. Because it he's awesome.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, he's a personality.

SPEAKER_02

He's more when you surround yourself with people who only tell you what you want to hear, that's what you get. And bro, I'm usually not a fan of Crane. But I could just I'll go to a Corey Feldman concert. I want to see it with my eyes.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, it's gonna be a show. Right. You seen the one where he's jamming on his guitar and he goes up to sing and just bust his mouth on the mic. Just like, oh god.

SPEAKER_02

He got too excited about that solo, bro. You ain't seen when Fred Durst brought a chair out of the show. Yeah, to watch him kill that solo. He's like, he's not doing this. This is too good. Bro, he was he was selling that. Like, I thought I was watching wrestling for a minute.

SPEAKER_01

Fred Durst was like, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. He was like, I'm gonna turn my hat around Ford for this.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, yeah, he had to see it all.

SPEAKER_02

Bro, that's so funny. I love Corey Feldman.

SPEAKER_01

But yeah, I don't think Michael Jackson diddled kids. No, I don't even. I almost think Neverland was almost like the purpose of Neverland was to like save kids from Epstein Island because he knew about all that stuff.

SPEAKER_00

But it's almost like, you know, if somebody's that big, I mean he was the biggest person he could ever have.

SPEAKER_01

Probably ever, yeah. Period. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Period. Like thriller is still the most selling album ever. Like to a point where it'll never be touched. Yeah. Especially now with the way, you know, music's not selling the way it used to be. No. But someone like that, you almost have to, even if it's real or not, people are like, something's gotta be there. Like they'll make up something. Oh yeah, that's yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

100% that happened because Bro, you can convince me of almost anything. Yeah. Or unconvince me of, you know, right?

SPEAKER_01

Like, yeah, give humans decades and decades and centuries of years to come up with stories that you can make all those puzzle pieces fit. Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_02

But like it it's really predicated on he he grew up so quickly and famously and had such a uh uh harsh father.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, he didn't get to be a child.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, he didn't get to be a child, and then he surrounded himself by the by you know children because he didn't have a childhood, which seems what a broken person would do. Exactly.

SPEAKER_01

And I think he was psychic. Oh yeah. Like I don't think we could ever rationalize his thought process of what of what his reality was.

SPEAKER_02

No, no, I'm not saying it in in under the guise of he needed children in his presence. I'm saying like I I don't think that he was uh as broken as people make him out to be. Okay. Because first of all, you have to navigate all the things that he was navigating. Like he, you know, he was a pioneer for uh like he was really like the the first black superstar, and no one has really reached those high. Who who do you see? There's a live video of concerts of all the biggest people. Nobody's passing out and having to be uh stretcher uh crowd surfed to safety. Yeah, to give in oxygen and stuff because he was just brother.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, his concerts would start and he would do that, jump out of the floor and just stand there. Dude could stand there for 10 minutes and they would just pass an hour and go crazy.

SPEAKER_02

He's Benny, he's Benny Hen on TVN, bro, bro. Just throw that jacket.

SPEAKER_00

And he's just standing there. Yeah, crazy. Not even not moving, not like that Super Bowl. He didn't.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, you gotta just not that iconic.

SPEAKER_00

The only one that was close was the uh Prince Super Bowl. That's the best Super Bowl. Of all time. But going back to Michael Jackson, so his Super Bowl performance is the reason we have such big productions during the Super Bowl halftime now. Like all the concert, all the concerts they put on, his was like the first to do that.

SPEAKER_02

Oh yeah. I was unaware of it. It was the the numbers really. That was the first one where more people tuned in for the halftime show than the game.

SPEAKER_00

So that's when they started bringing in all these people because that was early 90s. So yeah, that's when all the halftime shows just started blowing up. And then commercials and stuff got so expensive. Everybody's that's all the people was watching.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, yeah, because it was like uh five million dollars or something for a one-minute spot, I think, back then. Yeah, I can only imagine what it is now.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, and it's crazy. And they're not even that good anymore.

SPEAKER_00

No, yeah, what's crazy is during his performance. I don't know, I went down a rabbit hole the other day. So when he pops out and he stands there and everybody's going nuts, they did a thing where there's no ads, like there's no ads on the TV, there's no ads on the little ticker at the bottom, nothing like that. And they said it was like for every second he stood there not moving, that was like one to two million dollars that was just gone. Gone like that, because they didn't have any advertisements plan. They could afford it. Oh, yeah, they couldn't. Michael could afford it. Right. But that's crazy. That is crazy. Just every every tick, money's gone.

SPEAKER_02

Oh yeah, that's I'm sure that it's been done that way ever since. Like that was like, oh, okay, now we gotta bring in all the ad revenue to yep, yep, that makes the most sense. I mean, but Jay-Z, he's like in charge of the halftime show. Like, he's been in charge of that for the last several years.

SPEAKER_00

It shows.

SPEAKER_02

Right, because I would the only one that was really good, and it wasn't that good, it was just nostalgia for us, was the West Coast one. Yeah, the drag. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, and I I'm still upset we haven't ever got Metallica.

SPEAKER_02

Like Arrow Smith, they did a good one. Uh yeah. There's gonna be, you know, you're gonna have bro, nickelback would kill one. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Like, I don't I don't there's two types of people in the in the world, I hear people nickelback fans and liars. Yes, yes. Yeah. Like, how do you hate nickelback?

SPEAKER_00

I've always been on that train, but yeah, I'm I was I'm very glad I finally made it to the other side of that.

SPEAKER_02

People are like, oh yeah, let a nickelback or creed. Let creed come on.

SPEAKER_01

Oh I'm in it. In it.

SPEAKER_02

I'm back to cruising Main Street. Can you take me higher, please?

SPEAKER_01

Both Nico and Course like Creed and uh Nickelback, so I'm like, it's it's generational tried and true.

SPEAKER_02

Outlived the the mockery, yeah, you know what I mean, and then like became respected. Like it was like, all right, you know what? He still sang it.

SPEAKER_01

They still make new music, Creed. I don't know if they're not I know they're still playing though.

SPEAKER_02

Okay, you made those songs, bro. Rolling Rolling Stones, yeah, Rolling Stones. I everybody's oh yeah, that's everybody that's legendary is living off two albums worth of songs. Yep, yep. GNR Guns and Roses, living off appetite, for destruction and November rain.

SPEAKER_00

Yep. Like literally, yeah.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Out of all those though, probably Guns N' Roses is the hardest concert to go to and expect something.

SPEAKER_01

I would just be as an axle is rough now.

SPEAKER_00

So like he's good. You're like, oh man, he's kind of coming back. And then the next thing you're like, nope, never mind. No.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, it's I couldn't stop being the serpenty rock god if I went. I would just my legs would be so sore. Wiggle. Yeah, yeah. I would just be wiggling the whole time. Right. Somebody get me a bandana still.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, you are. You in the jungle, baby.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, that's hilarious.

SPEAKER_00

He's still making money, though.

SPEAKER_01

What are some other old bands? Poison. Poison's still going.

SPEAKER_00

Are they still touring? He's just a Vince Neil. He don't know what the words are. He's just going.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, Molly Crew is becoming uh almost a sideshow because of Vince Neal.

SPEAKER_01

Uh-huh. You think as soon as they get their residency somewhere, bro, those isolate. But I think Metallica just got a residency at the sphere.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, oh yeah, I did hear that they were.

SPEAKER_01

Yes.

SPEAKER_02

They were getting one. I didn't know when it was.

SPEAKER_01

Atlanta. You know, Atlanta's getting a sphere type venue. I didn't know that. I've heard. You'd have to Google it.

SPEAKER_02

If I lived close to that thing, I would I would be equally irritated as I am in awe of the coolness. Yeah, right. But first of all, I'm tired of freaking eyeball looking at me every time I walk out the door.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Or, you know what I mean? Like, like this is bright.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. And I'm getting older if I live near that thing, and like, you know, on the outside, they'll have some weird, crazy things. I'd open my door and just kind of scare myself a little bit. Yeah. Yeah. And just like I'm trying not to cuss.

SPEAKER_01

Like, son of a but would they build it close enough to housing? I mean, everything. Of course, like apartments and condos and stuff. Yeah. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like, you'd see.

SPEAKER_02

As someone that lived on Main Street in a small town, you get used to the noise. Right. Kinda. Kinda. You know, there's gonna be moments where you're like, that's excessive.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

But for the most part, you get used to it. But you can't get used to brightness.

SPEAKER_00

No.

SPEAKER_02

But all you can do is buy blackout hurts.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. So just say goodbye to natural light.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, it's just all yeah.

SPEAKER_01

It's just the eyeball.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, every time you just got a smiley face looking at you, you're like, you know what? I don't like this as much as I thought it was. It's raining, bro.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Put it, turn that smile upside down.

SPEAKER_00

Where were they even put in Atlanta? I feel like there's not unless they tore down a whole bunch of stuff. I don't know. Let's have to be on the outskirts somewhere. Let's do some research.

SPEAKER_02

I really want to go see it though.

SPEAKER_00

I want to go at least once.

SPEAKER_02

Because I'm such a hillbilly. I'm amazed by like 12-minute 4D movies. So if I went, if I went to the sphere or something, I'd be like, bruh, you don't even need right. I don't even do drugs, but like you, you don't need them for this. Maybe you do. Maybe you do. Maybe. Could you imagine taking a bit of mushroom and just do a little acid hit? No, the last I did that the last time I saw Metallica, and it was no end up well for me.

SPEAKER_01

Good God. Okay, here we go. Cosm. C-O-S-M.

SPEAKER_02

I know how to spell Cosm.

SPEAKER_01

An immersive entertainment venue, often described as sphere-like or a mini-sphere alternative, is set to open in downtown Atlanta at the Centennial Yards Development. The venue officially opened. Centennial Park? Centennial Yards Development. That's just what it says. I don't that might be what the park is now.

SPEAKER_02

Well, Centennial Park's right at Lucky Street.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, yeah, yeah. At the Phillips Arena.

SPEAKER_02

Right around the right around Tabernacle. Spring Street, Lucky Street, it's all right there. Is that Phillips Arena? No, I don't think it is. No, it's a Mercedes Benz.

SPEAKER_01

No, that's sounds terrible. That's that's what the Georgia Dome was replaced with, with Mercedes-Benz. It's Phillips Arena, but I think it's I think it's just got a new name. Oh. A new sponsor. But uh this uh Cosm, the venue officially opened on will open on June 10th, 2026, with its first public event being a viewing of Game Four of the NBA Finals. So I think it's like one of those. It ain't like the sphere in it's not like the sphere in Vegas. It's like um I don't know where they are. There's one in Texas or Houston or something, because uh WWE will have some of their pay-per-views broadcast there. It's like a big screen, but it's like a a static camera, you know. I'm saying that specifically for that, so it's like you're in the ring.

SPEAKER_02

Oh yeah. So it's like IMAX on steroids. There's a there's sports bars that's like that, uh, where they give you like you know, f several rows of stadium seating. Yeah, and then there's a nice one. I think that's what this is.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, that's I think that's what this is. I mean, that's not too bad, I guess.

SPEAKER_02

But depends on the game. I mean, I I watch it, Atlanta's pretty close, you know.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. So but I would go to watch like Bro to see as well. I would say I'd go to watch like WrestleMania there, but oh yeah, I don't want to be that far away from my house. But the reason I can't stay up to watch WrestleMania.

SPEAKER_02

I gotta watch up the next morning.

SPEAKER_00

3 30 in the morning, four.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

It's like I gotta spend a night. Like when we went and uh watch Tom Segura at the Fox, like we you know, the the Georgia uh hotel is like right across the street from the Fox.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

So you just stay there and you can walk across the street. They valet, they valet and everything right there at the hotel. So yeah, anytime like that, you gotta you gotta spend the night.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, if I'm more than two hours away from the house, I I hope I got some points somewhere. I gotta use them in a room or something.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, because if I'm gonna like, you know, concert, there's probably gonna be some beverages and and I'm gonna be tired. Yeah, you don't want to drive an hour after all that. Yeah, I don't want to drive. Well, you know, you're gonna think two hours because the first hour is gonna be getting out of traffic. Oh God, that's all I'm doing. The whole anything we do in Atlanta, the whole half latter part I'm thinking of the escape plan. Yep. Like we just went and spent all day at Stone Mountain uh a few weeks ago for Dino Fest, and we got there like one or something in the afternoon and didn't leave till nine o'clock that night. And that's nothing but walking around and doing stuff. Oh God, I was thinking, oh an hour, hour and a half to get home is just terrible. And that's just that's just a fun day out, you know. Yeah, it's not having to deal with and we went like on a Wednesday. I took it, I took like a few days off of work for a vacation, and then we went and did some stuff on spring break. And it wasn't even that bad. There weren't that many people there, but a thousand, oh I hate that. I hate that so much. I hate that part as much as I enjoy everything but that happened before it.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, they used to do they used to do a brew fest in Huntsville, fun, amazing, all kinds of booths. You can drink all kinds of beer, and usually you can go around and get samples or give you a you know a cup like that, half a pint or something, and you're drinking all day, and it's great. But there is 3,000 people there, and you're like, it's like going shoulder to shoulder, yeah. Shoulder to shoulder, and you gotta like find a corner somewhere and get away from all these people. But I guess I'm not a fan of the crowd.

SPEAKER_02

Being crowds, I get real anxious. I hate that. That's why I've never level goes up there.

SPEAKER_01

I've never been to Nashville yet. I'm just like, I want to go, but I'm I'm just all the pictures I see that it's just too crowded.

SPEAKER_02

That's the thing. You have to know, like, especially going to Nashville, if you going like music road and Broadway, like all that. Oh yeah, you have to know, like you're going to barhop, because that's all there is to do. Like if you're going out at night, you're going to barhop and bump into bump into people. That's it. That's all they're doing there.

SPEAKER_01

Well, I know in uh the the rumor is right now in two years, WrestleMania is gonna be in Nashville. And I would even if I really don't go to WrestleMania, I would kind of like to Bridgetone Arena? Uh the Nissan one that's getting built. Oh, Nissan. Or is it the new the yeah, the Nissan Arena? The Titans, Titans new arena. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Well, we I totally want to go.

SPEAKER_02

But you have to you have to get in. No, now you have to get in a lottery.

SPEAKER_00

A Q. Is that what you were talking about? You gotta get in a lottery. And you don't know when the game is where it's gonna be.

SPEAKER_02

It was like, first of all, that egg ain't cooked enough, my guy. Yeah, like I don't want my egg looking like yellow brain.

SPEAKER_00

SPEAKER_02

I'll order one of those sandwiches and throw the egg away.

SPEAKER_01

I don't even eat McDonald's. Like it's it ain't food enough for me.

SPEAKER_02

I'm done with all the only time I eat McDonald's is when I'm low on money and I've used uh points from the kids eating. I'm like, oh, I got I got 3,000 points gonna get me a McChicken.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

You know what I mean? Like the only thing I eat from McDonald's, I try to is like uh the McChickens. And every once in a while I'll get uh um sausage McMuffin. And I like the McMuffin more than I like the sausage. Their sausage looks like that's weird.

SPEAKER_01

Their sausage is weird, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

It looks like deer ankles or something.

SPEAKER_01

Like I don't need a gooseneck. I'll I'll randomly get a large fry. I'm pretty sure that's it.

SPEAKER_02

Y'all ever heard Rabbi Finkelstein talk about that?

SPEAKER_01

No.

SPEAKER_02

Like I'm pretty sure like we eat in what Rabbi Finkelstein's talking about. I think it's human.

SPEAKER_01

That's human's meat too, man. Yeah, that's people.

SPEAKER_00

That's what he talks about.

SPEAKER_02

That's what he's talking about.

SPEAKER_01

No, no, no. Lab grown and people grown.

SPEAKER_02

You know what? I ain't never ate an impossible meat.

SPEAKER_01

I ain't either.

SPEAKER_02

So I don't know, I don't really now.

SPEAKER_01

When's the last time you ate a Chick-fil-A? I don't know.

SPEAKER_02

I I went and got it from my family yesterday, but I didn't eat it.

SPEAKER_01

Oh well, if it's been within the last year, that's lab grown meat.

SPEAKER_02

Oh now, there uh I don't eat Chick-fil-A anymore because it started like the chicken started sticking in my teeth.

SPEAKER_01

Because it shreds away because of how it's made in the lab.

SPEAKER_02

I would eat, I would eat uh spicy chicken sandwiches. That's all I used to eat from Chick-fil-A. And then they started getting real springy chicken sandwiches. I was like, springy chicken, one bite of springy chicken, I'm done. I throw the rest of the sandwich away. Like if I I bite and bounce, bro, I'm out. You bounce. I'm I'm yeah, I bounce.

SPEAKER_01

That's how you feel. That's this is where we're at.

SPEAKER_02

That was four dollars.

SPEAKER_00

You're dog food. I'm not eating that yet. Wasted that four dollars.

SPEAKER_02

So I switched over to eating only nuggets anytime we ever ate there. And they started pulling apart like string cheese.

SPEAKER_01

Exactly, because they're lab grown.

SPEAKER_02

I thought that was just because, like, you know, maybe the way they was pressed together or something in the lab. Because it that's what it is. As I said before, I can I can be convinced.

SPEAKER_01

Convince me you just convinced yourself no more. I told you. Oh my god. I still eat it too, because sometimes it's just right there. Now it's the devil's chicken. Oh, yeah, switching over.

SPEAKER_02

It's not even the Lord's chicken anymore. Yeah, Delore didn't grow that.

SPEAKER_00

Well, you know, the people like Dr.

SPEAKER_02

Dr. Devil.

SPEAKER_00

The people are on like Sundays and stuff. Man, we're gonna get some Chick-fil-A in their clothes. Like, those are the Chick-fil-A theists. You ever heard that? Chick-fil-A.

SPEAKER_03

That's hilarious. Never heard that.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, it's like I need to start being a Chick-fil-A that's open just on Sundays. Yeah. Oh my god. Chick-fil-A.

SPEAKER_02

Is that an original idea? That's hilarious. See, I told y'all he was funny. Friggin' genius.

SPEAKER_01

I'm gonna make that in a t-shirt. That's a good one. Uh speaking of t-shirts, I'll throw some from his uh high school days. He was part of the con uh the what it's the band. I know you played drums in the band, but not the marching band. Was it a concert season?

SPEAKER_00

There was concert band in spring.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, they got marching band, concert band, and now they got jazz band.

SPEAKER_00

They started trying to do jazz band when I was there, but it didn't go that way.

SPEAKER_01

You were part of concert band. You just telling me the story, and I've remembered it all of these years. It's one of my favorites. Yeah, I can't remember. Or y'all are coming, y'all are submitting, y'all are submitting ideas for the shirt. And it was Star Wars themed. Do you remember your joke? It was a Star Wars themed concert. All the music was gonna be from Star Wars.

SPEAKER_00

That was our halftime show during March and said, Yeah, I can't wait to hear Star Wars theme.

SPEAKER_01

So he was like, you know, he had he told me everybody and all the band members were throwing out suggestions for the shirts so they can sell and make money and all that stuff.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I can't wait to hear this play on WordPress.

SPEAKER_01

Big Justin, his uh his suggestion is uh, how about uh how about on the front, we're a drug-free school, and on the back, we don't Chewbacca. Because the Star Wars thing, it's a very dad joke, but it's still amazing. That is an awesome shirt. Yeah, especially for a high school.

SPEAKER_02

You got dare, you got dare on the front, and how dare you on the back.

SPEAKER_00

Oh man. It's still a great shirt. We don't do drugs, but we do Chewbacca.

SPEAKER_01

We're a drug-free school. We don't chewbacca. Oh my god. That was not the shirt they picked for people, if you're wondering.

SPEAKER_00

And what's funny is it seems to be a theme in my life because when I went to college at Jack State, you know, they're the gangcocks. And all their shirts, all their shirts when I was there just said cocky on the front. Yeah, yeah. I had one of those. And this is around the time when the whole got milk thing was big. I already know where you went. You know where you went with that. I pitched this and I said, How about on the front we just put got cock? And they were like, How about we don't?

SPEAKER_01

They're like, no, I don't think we're gonna go in that direction. Yeah, how about got game with a question mark? Don't that make more sense? Like, that's just that is not as good. That ain't the same thing.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. To the wrong people, but to the wrong people, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Money's money. A dollar's a dollar.

SPEAKER_00

I do love a good pun and wordplay. They're great.

SPEAKER_02

I was still thinking about this shirt. I was redesigning it. Yeah. Got cock, bro. Think about the back. Think about the back.

SPEAKER_01

Big old rooster silhouette. Takes balls. Takes balls.

SPEAKER_02

Takes balls. Takes balls.

SPEAKER_01

Got cock, it takes balls.

SPEAKER_02

Takes balls.

SPEAKER_01

We're sticking with penny tees. There's no graphic, it's just wording. Just word, yeah. Just wording. Just words. There's no pictures, nothing.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, because you gotta see, you gotta this dude's gotta pass you for you can get the whole shirt.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

You know what I mean? Like, because if you're behind them and you just see something, they're both question marks.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Got caught. Thanks, both. And then you turn around and you're like, you know, I still have questions. I'm just as confused as I saw the first time.

SPEAKER_02

Like, you're like, takes balls? It's like I but you could you couldn't have that shirt now.

SPEAKER_01

Nowadays that shirt wouldn't work. No, because it's just a general question. No, you would just put a question mark on both sides.

SPEAKER_00

It's uh got caught? Question mark? Takes balls question.

SPEAKER_02

Everybody's like both. I I feel like I should be offended, but also is this Socrates? Like is this uh what what's the what's the Roman uh uh Aurelia? Uh he was uh like a uh Aurelia. No, I don't know.

SPEAKER_01

Aristotle.

SPEAKER_02

No, that's not what I'm saying. No, I wouldn't pull it Aristotle.

SPEAKER_01

I've never even shown there before. Oh, it's Aripostel. That's a story.

SPEAKER_03

That's a story.

SPEAKER_02

All right, you got that.

SPEAKER_01

My lord. What's been going on in the world? Too much. Man, that'd be scientists dying.

SPEAKER_02

What about all the scientists dying?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, just vanishing for finding out truth. Right. I don't even know what they were discovering. Anti-gravity was one of them.

SPEAKER_02

No, it they were all uh it was all in like advanced technology, everything all the scientists were studying like some form of advanced physics, thinking, technology. Um I listened to a podcast uh a couple of weeks ago that was detailing the eleven the eleven scientists that have died or went missing. And and all they were doing really was saying who the person was, what they studied, when they went missing, what what they were doing, you know, at the point when they went missing. And like six of them, six of them are like disappeared, four of them are dead, I can't say mur allegedly murdered. Uh and then in that whole midst, the the twelfth one would be David Wilcox, who is someone that I've watched for like 10 years probably. And it's not someone that really held any kind of validity with me. He was on ancient aliens, he's written books, uh, he's in that whole, you know, that whole sphere of ancient astronauts and all that kind of stuff. But he did have a company who was like in advanced technologies, like uh studying advanced technologies, like he was it was his company. And uh, but he never held like any kind of validity to me. He always seemed like a disinformation artist to me because I watched him for so long. I watched him go from ancient aliens to talking to uh uh this guy who was saying like some of the craziest things, these regression programs where they spent 20 years in the space force, and then you know, they were regressed back to their previous age. People who would he would entertain those type of things, and I would listen to them and you know so like he he never really seemed too valid to me until a couple of weeks ago they said he killed himself and I he has like a weekly podcast where just a couple of days before he was talking about like the Lord and like Christ's love and not killing yourself. I would you know, never hurting himself, yeah. He would never do anything like that. I mean, not specifically, but really hinting on those type of you know, type of undertones, yeah, and saying how precious life was. And then a couple days later the it said that he's killed himself, that seems real suspicious to me. Like as someone before that podcast or I didn't really believe him. Oh yeah, he said before in multiple multiple things. If I I've been told if I reveal this, you know, something could happen. And that was all part of me not really believing some of the stuff he would believe. You know, like I feel like my discernment was a little better than his, but I could have been wrong about everything. You know what I mean? But that seems weird if somebody I didn't believe, but I know said this thing has now killed themselves amidst all these other people in this field ufology, uh advanced propulsion, gravitics, all that stuff. Now he's he's in there. That's what made me pay attention. Like, oh maybe this is a like they're getting rid of people.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Is it really aliens? Aliens are recruiting said people. One of the one of the ones that are I need to, I gotta start.

SPEAKER_01

One of the the girl, the most recent one that was killed.

SPEAKER_02

Uh uh Edrickson. Something Erica Erica Edrickson or something.

SPEAKER_01

I've seen one of her videos through my TikTok, and she was talking about the aliens, like the P47s and P51s. P52s, P52s, P52s, that it they're they're not aliens, they're us from the future. Yeah, it said she's Psycho. So P means present. P means present plus 47,000 years. 47,000 years, that's their actual age, things like that.

SPEAKER_02

I mean, I've heard that I've heard that a bunch, like in my excuse me, in my uh, you know listening to anything.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, yeah. Those are the fun ones to me. I don't subscribe to those, but it's fun to think about. Oh yeah, I'll listen to it. Like time travel, anything time travel and all that. I'm that's I'm most fascinated by this. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_02

I'm so I love it.

SPEAKER_01

I'm like the personification of that conspiracy map where you can just like trying to connect all the dots and the strings and everything.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. I'm like, uh I know so many different conspiracies that cor correlate to one another.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

But how how do you prove it? Like, I mean, I'm no flat earther. No. Right. And as far as earth would go, I I could go for I could probably go for a hollow earth. There might be, you know.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, the civilization. I mean, there's caves underground, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

There's caves. That's all.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, somebody's figured out somewhere. I can just live in this cave. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

They did that. They did that so we could do this podcast. Yeah. They lived in those caves, caves so we could do this podcast. Like, literally. So let's pay homage.

SPEAKER_01

Thank you, cave guys. Thank you, cave people.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

I hope you hear this.

SPEAKER_02

Captain Caveman. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

God, where it is. But yeah. Yeah, somebody in a cave somewhere is like right now just they're figuring it out.

SPEAKER_02

I can go for uh keep going, guys. I can go for prison planet. Like, I can go for prison planet. I can't go for flat earth.

SPEAKER_01

Like yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Seems dumb.

SPEAKER_01

What about the South Park theory that Earth is just a reality show? Of every planet is a planet of cows, a planet of chickens, a planet of humans, and they're all just thrown here for the universe's entertainment. I mean, I take that, but like it feels like that makes more sense than Scientology.

SPEAKER_02

If you if you want to stone it, like you trying to get you trying to get stone to it. It's a zoo. Like this planet is a zoo.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Like we're uh we're uh Biological like we are an organism. This planet is an organ organism because the small things affect the bigger things and and that just you know extrapolates until you've killed the planet or you've become a tier one civilization, tier two, tier three. So we're tier nothing.

SPEAKER_00

We're tier hunger games. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

I can't.

SPEAKER_02

I was trying just a couple. We went to the Renaissance festival. We bought some bows. And I bought some hay. It's harder than you think. Unless you get them fancy bows Joe Rogan uses. You need a compound bow. Yeah, you ain't out here. You ain't out here like the navi or whatever.

SPEAKER_01

Was it the kind you had to put your leg through and bend it over? Oh no, no. Tie your own string. That's recurve. Recurve.

SPEAKER_02

I mean, it is that kind, but it's, you know, it's compound means it takes less to do more.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. This one's just got that leg that springs. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

This one's just full.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I'm weaning.

SPEAKER_02

Like you're shooting at a few. If you're not good like I was, you gotta kind of turn it to the side because you can't even hold it straight without the air going.

SPEAKER_01

Why's it going to the side like those downing rods or whatever?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. I'm not trying to find to find water in the door. Shoot this friggin' hay bale.

SPEAKER_00

It's like last of the Caucasians over here.

SPEAKER_03

Bro, stop. I'm gonna be stapped.

SPEAKER_02

Last of the Caucasians. That's hilarious.

SPEAKER_01

Unintended. Unintended. Ugh.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. What your war paint's tears from failure. No, I can do it. We're gonna starve to death.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, all it is is dirty is track tracks of tears on a dirty face, and you know, that's your war paint.

SPEAKER_02

It was like your whole face is dirty except for where you've been crying. So I've been trying this whole day. I'm so hungry. So I'm gonna show I'm gonna go to throwing rocks. We are good at throwing things.

SPEAKER_00

Not me. My shoulder can't take it now.

SPEAKER_02

So I gotta I gotta warm up. Hold up, squirrel.

SPEAKER_01

Hold up, squirrel. Over there cracking some windmills. Little winds. Let me throw some air before I get this weight in.

SPEAKER_00

Me and Millie was going out just to play catch. And I don't she was like, I want to go out and play catch. It's like, okay. So we're out there and I'm trying to warm up. And I can't I can't get the whole shoulder going. So I'm sitting there just doing like from the elbow. Just little tosses. Yeah. And then finally I get worked up to it and I get to throw it. I come over and I hear the loudest pop and I throw it. And I say, I'm done. He was like, boom, he's Henry Rowan going.

SPEAKER_03

That's what it felt like.

SPEAKER_02

Funky button loving. Did he say funky buttons? That is so good.

SPEAKER_01

Good gosh. Y'all been watching any other shows or movies? Anything new? I don't think we're watching any of those movies.

SPEAKER_02

Y'all ain't watched the boys, so.

SPEAKER_00

No. Last one I watched was like two. Second season.

SPEAKER_01

Mine was three or four. I don't remember. I was kind of just waiting for it to end. Right. Yeah. It's it good? I mean, what would you do?

SPEAKER_02

This is the last season.

SPEAKER_01

I think the show did it go downhill? Did it kind of just stay?

SPEAKER_02

I think there's only probably like three episodes left. And I think the fifth episode you've got like maybe I'm hoping at the top of the hill. So this thing starts, you know, stuff starts really happening for the last three episodes because stuff has been happening.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

But it's I'm hoping the last three are going to be like epic.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. Yeah. We won't do any spoilers.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, there's nothing to spoil, but that's what I'm saying. When something happened. Yeah, I'm still waiting. Like I'm on Wednesday, I'm like, alright. I I hope. Usually I'm like, oh man, I want to watch the next one. This whole season. I'm like, all right, well, I guess next Wednesday.

SPEAKER_01

Yep, we'll see. I'm trying to think of uh I've watched uh there's some movies coming out that's gonna be good. Monarch.

SPEAKER_02

Monarch Legacy. I've watched some of that. I'm still about five five or six episodes of that.

SPEAKER_01

No, the doomsday. The real doomsday trailer leaked. I don't want to watch the leak, but I'm I'm hoping because it leaked, they'll go ahead and just release the real trailer any day now.

SPEAKER_02

Oh yeah. I don't anytime I see anything leaked, I just I go. I was like, I know I don't want to watch this.

SPEAKER_01

I don't want it to be ruined.

SPEAKER_02

I guess the next one, I can't wait to watch Mortal Kombat actually, because I did watch uh a clip yesterday of a scene that's Liu Kang and Kung Lao fighting, you know, since Kung Lao's dead on the other side now. Uh him and Lu Kang are fighting. And bro, he's sick with a hat this time. There's a whole whole bunch of more hat.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Like, yeah, I'm looking forward to the hat.

SPEAKER_02

There wasn't as much hat as in the first one. It was just a little bit of hat. I need more hat. I don't think Bruce Dickinson. I need more hat, baby. I got a fever. Yeah, I got a fever.

SPEAKER_00

The only prescription. More more hat.

SPEAKER_02

Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_01

I don't think I'm gonna go to the theater to see Mortal Kombat.

SPEAKER_02

Oh no, I'd totally go. I totally go to see it because why not? Maybe not a bunch of people will be there.

SPEAKER_01

Right. I'll definitely be going to see Supergirl.

SPEAKER_02

Like Mike Per Mike Perry's been on his bear and knuckle run like for the last couple of years. So I mean they're fighting regular MMA fights, so should be should be a slug. Should be a good one. Should be a schlug fest.

SPEAKER_01

You think that'll be the like final main event, or do you think they'll give it to the girls? No, they'll give it to the girls for sure. That makes more sense since they announced it first, I guess.
