If you see a carnival going on, you say laissez faire.
00:02:46.800
Oh, and once again, I can't really fade that song out as well as I'd like to be.
00:02:54.720
You know, I'd love that song at the end to really just go at a very slow, lessening level.
00:03:13.820
And that's not to be confused with this boy I used to know named Gradient Harper.
00:03:18.580
Who used to play on the local football team in junior high.
00:03:23.920
Dude, I remember we had a baseball field we played on, and I was on a really rot-gut team called the Cubs.
00:03:40.240
And a couple jerseys, they accidentally wrote clubs on it, and it just, so about six of the guys on our team were on the Cubs, the Playville Cubs.
00:03:53.200
And we had about three or four guys on the Playville Clubs.
00:03:56.920
And we would play on a field out there on the edge of town off of Highway 190 that had a slant.
00:04:10.460
They just, I don't know if, you know, there had been like a, they might have been having gravity issues or something.
00:04:22.560
This might have been during a sinkhole flare-up.
00:04:26.820
Because that sinkholes, those things, dude, when Mother Earth has had too much to eat, and that bitch belches,
00:04:36.920
somebody's losing a fucking half a parking lot full of Honda Civics or something, you know?
00:04:45.600
It could be somebody hitchhiking, you know, somebody driving a Dodge Ram.
00:04:51.720
Everybody is going straight into the Earth's core.
00:05:10.200
I, um, I remember asking the coach one time if we could put tape on the ball, like, um, you know, like, uh, duct tape.
00:05:23.900
So that thing wouldn't come in, it wouldn't hit, you know, it wouldn't be as hard when it hit the glove.
00:05:29.620
So most of baseball was me hiding kind of whenever the good batters would get up.
00:05:38.420
I don't need a bed, I don't need a pillow to, you know, to really create that ambiance.
00:05:46.580
I'm that, I got that Spielberg in me, I got that cerebral Spielberg.
00:05:52.380
You know, I got, this shit is, it's going in my head.
00:05:55.860
And so, baseball and a day, you can't daydream and do baseball.
00:06:05.040
Because you're out there and next thing you know, you, you, you fucking, that ball comes zinging at you.
00:06:11.840
You'll lose an occipital, you know, it'll, you'll pop your occipital.
00:06:17.840
One of your, one of your eyeballs roll right out your mouth.
00:06:25.860
But we played on a field when I was on the Cubs clubs that was at a slant.
00:06:33.940
And, dude, you would hit a grounder towards first base and by the time it got to, like, the outfield, it was, oh, it was, it was along the third base line.
00:06:47.680
So the best player was out there on third base or in the left field.
00:07:02.580
Dude, I'd be out there way out in right field picking stuff and eating it or trying stuff.
00:07:08.860
I mean, I wouldn't eat, I would not eat everything that I picked.
00:07:16.580
You know, you always had that one creepy boy, just anything you find, he just slid it into his mouth.
00:07:28.860
You know, some of these guys, they'll babysit a damn, you finally get their jaws open and they're in there, you know, they're having, you know, a couple little oysters are in there doing conjugal visits and stuff.
00:07:40.040
Some people will put anything under their tongue.
00:07:49.720
Because if a ball went into the outfield and you got it, you had to run, you had to run uphill.
00:07:55.480
It was very, I mean, it was like a damn decathlon just trying to get the ball in.
00:08:03.660
And sometimes you would throw it and it would come right back down the hill at you.
00:08:06.720
You're like, gee, well, and then at the far left field, it went sloped that way.
00:08:16.280
This one fellow, Mikey Donowar, and he was, my God, this guy, he was, I mean, he must have came out of the womb with a, you know, he must have came out of the womb with a damn, with capability.
00:08:36.720
And capability is when you just, when you're not, you know, when you just, when you can do something.
00:08:49.280
And this boy just had all the athletic capability and he would hit that ball and we went to get it.
00:08:56.880
It went over the deep, off the edge, deep field.
00:09:00.840
And dude, it took you, sometimes I remember getting a ball and coming up the hill off the deep end.
00:09:06.620
And by the time I got up there, the game had been over for about 40 minutes.
00:09:12.320
Everybody's just knuckle deep eating snow cones and some of the parents are over there, you know, you know, complaining about their spouses or whatever.
00:09:24.380
Some of this one lady would cry every time we won.
00:09:27.140
Like, bitch, you're not even, you don't even have a kid on the team.
00:09:38.360
Somebody would hit a damn double and she would start crying like jeepers.
00:09:41.180
And she had a Don Mattingly tattoo on her fucking, on her ribs.
00:09:48.500
I will say that she had a certain beauty about her.
00:09:52.680
You know, there's something, there's something very American about it when somebody hits a damn double.
00:10:07.220
It's almost like, it's like that movie, it's the way I feel when I watch that movie, Cinderella Man.
00:10:47.240
I was thinking about that this weekend, how time is just such a...
00:10:54.420
I mean, you just, it's on, it's just the, it's kind of like the, it's the LeBron James of mediums.
00:11:08.140
And sometimes I realize, I'm like, hey, time, time, time.
00:11:22.060
You little assholes out here on that lopsided field.
00:11:33.380
I think they had a couple parents out there, like seeing the children struggle.
00:11:37.720
And seeing, you'd have some kids, dude, they play baseball so much, they'd have a damn,
00:11:41.860
they would grow into genetically, even one of their legs almost had a little bit more reach on it.
00:11:49.120
Or you'd see some of the coaches out there would measure that right leg on you during practices and stuff.
00:11:55.160
Because see who would be able to get the best angles based on the field.
00:11:59.580
And that was, it's weird when carpentry kind of comes into a baseball.
00:12:05.360
You know, when somebody, when you got a damn subcontractor out there playing on the, you know, as a third base coach.
00:12:31.120
I'm feeling like I'm, this past week I've been really motivated to just get to the gym and get that pump.
00:12:43.080
And the other day I even taped off my legs with a tight tape.
00:12:47.580
And tape is something that's basically, for people that's too lazy to get a rope and do something, they made tape.
00:12:58.240
And boy, I'll tape these thighs closed and I keep my blood up top.
00:13:03.700
Because when I needed, when I used to do that, if I would do a test or something or, you know, in school, man, if I was had a hard test.
00:13:11.360
Dude, you know, I'd have my, both of my legs tied off, bro.
00:13:15.660
I ain't letting my blood go down to my feet and do what?
00:13:25.000
I need my knowledge bubbling through my freaking little brain tank.
00:13:33.180
Because you got to keep the water warm up there.
00:13:36.700
You know, all these, your extremities, a lot of times, they're wasting time.
00:13:41.220
When I'm under pressure, I want heart to brain.
00:13:45.360
I don't want the, you know, your blood's out here hitchhiking and your damn, you know, that fourth finger,
00:13:50.220
that one you can't barely get straight even when, if you try to make it straight by itself, you know the one?
00:13:54.720
I don't care if that bitch ever gets any blood, honestly.
00:14:04.040
So you'd see me in a test, man, my arms and legs would be turning purple.
00:14:09.080
And some of the kids would be like, dude, you all right, man?
00:14:13.740
I'm like, bitch, I'm doing social studies, okay?
00:14:17.060
So I'm living what I'm trying, I got to do something for myself here.
00:14:21.980
It's preservation and you guys out here doing that full flow.
00:14:39.920
We still want some single mothers for Lafayette, and that show's almost sold out down there December 26th.
00:14:48.780
So we'd love that if you want to call and recommend one or two.
00:14:54.840
We have the show in December 10th at the Wiltern in Los Angeles.
00:15:00.980
We just put on Red Bank, New Jersey, which is the makeup show for Sayersville.
00:15:12.160
So you can get in there and sit down and feel that, feel your body in the chair.
00:15:19.780
And there's something nice about that when your body hits a chair.
00:15:26.940
You know, a chair, they, it's such a perfectional piece.
00:15:39.620
And you do it every time you see a chair, you do it.
00:15:53.120
And you get over there and you put your ass right on it.
00:16:11.320
I wonder who's listening sometimes, and I wonder who isn't.
00:16:44.340
And you've listened, now you've listened to most of this past weekend.
00:17:17.880
Are people, is it kind of like you see on Shawshank Redemption,
00:17:21.100
where people are, you know, kind of like dirty, but also hopeful?
00:17:32.280
Yeah, we get a lot of, you know, people fresh off the street
00:17:36.440
because we're a county jail, so they haven't been sentenced or anything.
00:17:40.120
They come to us, you know, police pick them up straight off the street,
00:17:44.180
So we see all kinds of people, you know, mentally unstable,
00:17:49.680
you know, people who are currently on drugs that get brought in high.
00:17:58.220
DUIs, people who are currently drunk, who have to, you know,
00:18:06.560
Is there like a team room where there's more than one man in there?
00:18:09.480
Or is it there is, everybody gets their own room?
00:18:15.020
Well, no, when you first come in to be processed,
00:18:17.720
pretty much everyone is in the same little holding cell together.
00:18:20.940
Oh, God, I would, that's almost like American Idol or something.
00:18:31.280
You know, it's interesting to say the least because, you know,
00:18:34.340
you have some that are aggressive and want to, you know,
00:18:40.240
And then you have, you know, people who are drunk and they just want to sleep.
00:18:46.480
And does it get pretty, does it get kind of homoerotic at that point?
00:18:56.700
that does happen when they get to their housing.
00:19:00.580
You hold it for long enough, you want to put it in something, you know,
00:19:06.220
So, one more question I have, or do you find that, so you, these people,
00:19:14.200
so now, so your job exactly, so you're not escorting them back there with a
00:19:21.840
No, I do an admin side, like a Monday through Friday.
00:19:25.860
So, after they come in and they're processed and they go to their tank,
00:19:31.040
So, if they want to go to church or AA, GED, that sort of thing.
00:19:37.860
I do the secure system, which is our phone system.
00:19:43.800
So, selling phone cards, if they have any issues with their phone accounts,
00:19:52.500
If their family has an issue putting money onto their commissary account,
00:19:56.100
you know, I'm the person that they would talk to to try to resolve their issues.
00:20:01.100
And are most of them, do you find, like, a lot of the inmates are pretty friendly
00:20:05.880
Or is there a general kind of vibe amongst inmates?
00:20:11.180
Well, because I try to, because, you know, innocent until proven guilty,
00:20:16.680
So, I try to treat people with respect as long as they respect me.
00:20:20.000
And that seems, you know, they're really receptive to that.
00:20:26.220
But just being a female in corrections is tough.
00:20:30.300
Whether you, you know, are an officer, admin, doesn't matter.
00:20:37.060
And do a lot of the men come over there and kind of perv out by you?
00:20:39.600
Do you have anybody, you know, doing, you know, sending you little handfuls of dirty stuff
00:20:55.100
Or is it, are they thinking, is it, what are they looking for, a date?
00:21:01.540
They say, when I get out, I'm going to find you.
00:21:05.060
First of all, find me ain't the best way to pick a woman up.
00:21:11.700
If you're a criminal, that ain't my pickup line, especially if I'm a criminal.
00:21:20.700
Because I'm not going to, you know, no one knows who I am or where I live, but they're
00:21:35.820
You know, they have a question about something, answer it.
00:21:38.200
But, other than that, I try not to learn too much about their lives, why they're there.
00:21:44.380
You know, because it doesn't matter to me why you're there.
00:21:52.720
And is it a, do you feel like it's a tough job for a woman?
00:22:08.200
Whereas a female, a lot of them see you as weak.
00:22:12.820
Or, you know, or maybe that they can, that they can try to talk you into doing something
00:22:23.000
Yeah, they see the woman as the low-hung fruit.
00:22:28.380
Do they try to get, you know, playing cards or, you know, like whistle or anything?
00:22:33.800
Like anything unique that they're trying to get in or you're asking you?
00:22:40.740
I've never encountered that, but I've heard of instances, yes, where they try to make friends
00:22:47.260
Bring in a pack of cigarettes or, you know, but me personally, I don't want to get involved.
00:22:52.260
So, and that, and I don't have constant direct contact with them like, um, like an actual
00:23:04.260
So, I think that's where I have an advantage because my contact is brief.
00:23:11.660
And have you, uh, is there a lot of handsome men going into prison or what style of man
00:23:20.680
No, and maybe, maybe it's, maybe it's be drugs.
00:23:23.040
Maybe, you know, maybe at one time they were handsome, but, you know, where I work, I haven't
00:23:28.600
seen anyone in particular that was too handsome.
00:23:32.600
A lot of four and fives, a lot of four and fives doing crime, huh?
00:23:41.060
And you got to earn a three, man, because the Lord gives you five, man.
00:23:50.920
But when you got two, man, you got, that's your, you got to take care of those babies.
00:24:20.480
That's what all I want with some pictures on the back, some nudie pics, you know?
00:24:23.820
Um, well, regular cards, I can get some off commissary, but I don't know about the nudie
00:24:29.880
Well, maybe I'll just draw those on my, on there myself.
00:24:36.680
Because, you know, prison art is, prison art's the best.
00:24:39.840
They can, they really have figured out how to, you know, draw a really good nipple.
00:24:59.900
And, uh, and I hope you have a great, uh, I hope you have a great week over there.
00:25:12.840
Uh, and thank you very much, Amanda, for listening.
00:25:20.060
She made a list of, uh, all the people that I've ever talked about from my hometown, um,
00:25:41.260
Uh, today's episode is brought to you by Candid.
00:25:48.080
It's that time of year when a reindeer might just fly right past your house looking for
00:25:54.060
It's that time of year to share smiles and good times with friends and family.
00:25:59.160
This is time to tickle your damn uncle, boy, and hide your cousin in the damn, uh, little
00:26:09.020
How, how about you give yourself a gift like I'm doing today?
00:26:18.400
How'd you get that self-confidence by having straighter, brighter teeth will, will help.
00:26:26.460
Candid aligners can straighten your teeth faster and cheaper than traditional wild braces or
00:26:33.380
Some people call them treatment takes just six months on average and cost 65% less.
00:26:47.120
You'll be the to-do of the zoo when you get that grill tight, tight, tight.
00:26:53.940
I mean, you could smile if you smile real hard.
00:26:56.680
I bet you'll have a final damn diamond under your tongue.
00:27:01.840
An experienced orthodontist who is licensed in your state creates a custom treatment plan.

I guess via train, I guess, which is pretty cool.
00:27:30.800

You know, I was brushing on it a little earlier.
00:30:42.280
And sometimes I find I even get angry at time in my brain.
00:30:50.820
You know, I'm trying to tighten up over here and you keep just making me feel loose.
00:30:58.280
Time is that guy like when you're going repelling and he just keeps throwing rope out there.
00:31:15.980
You know, life is that limited time offer where.
00:32:22.160
It's where you inhale like a bunch through your nose.
00:32:53.000
That area right between your nuts and your little bee holes.
00:32:56.680
Well, you tighten that up and you hold your breath after you do all that breathing.
00:33:00.520
And you're supposed to catch a little bit of a free buzz.
00:33:08.800
But you do it in the morning and it really helps you out.
00:34:27.460
I just started to feel a little bit more gifted.
00:34:33.240
So I'm happy that I've just been running a lot this past week.
00:35:50.320
And you don't have to drink to do the campaign.
00:35:54.380
And which is also the only way that I would do it.
00:37:07.600
Because it's got to be just peaceful after that.
00:37:58.100
The next time you're hitting that late night McDonald's.
00:40:42.860
And I want the little sack of nutty nuts with it.
00:40:49.400
Look like you could barely get them stuck in your teeth.
00:41:03.720
Y'all in there laughing thinking you just all you're going to make all night is little cheeseburgers and this and that.
00:41:17.080
Y'all back there hiding fucking eating them nighttime McGriddles being risky.
00:41:28.520
People driving across town to get a damn sweet, cold, frozen, icy, nighttime, cupped snack.
00:41:51.540
But I'll draw a Popeye's chicken sandwich on the wall of this fragging McDaniels.
00:43:00.440
I forgot that it was me that had told myself that.
00:43:19.060
That's down there with that animal sanctuary I was trying to get in with.
00:43:25.460
I'm not going to invest if I can't even get a text back from the guy.
00:43:36.700
And his whole cartel is trying to set the whole city on fire.
00:43:40.400
Obviously you know I'm not an investment or anything.
00:44:42.060
But I just don't want to see you get screwed over.
00:45:53.840
That have a little bit of Tarzan in their nuts.
00:46:51.700
You're talking about some real serious animals.
00:47:13.120
You're going to have some really exotic animals.
00:50:10.260
Sometimes the toast tastes better than the damn chicken.
00:50:36.040
Them bitches looking like they got arthritis in there.
00:51:42.080
I don't care if they got chicken in them or not.
00:52:07.700
Because that's almost like a little freaking pie.
00:52:20.140
And then I'll finish off with that fucking baby dessert.
00:52:47.820
I ain't fucking dying outside of a Burger King bro.
00:53:05.900
I was just thinking about your little zoo project.
00:53:14.480
Chuck sent me a whole bunch of beautiful thing of meat.
00:53:39.660
I'm going to go ahead and order some materials.
00:53:52.060
We're still dealing with the first you know potential ordeals brother.
00:53:57.280
And you got to make it through potential ordeals baby before you get into the secondary level.
00:54:18.660
Some of the animals could even have a gunshot or something in them.
00:54:24.020
You see a fucking large mouth bass out there with two fucking slugs under its fin.
00:55:38.820
But he was having trouble finding qualified applicants.
00:55:43.880
Zip recruiter doesn't depend on candidates finding you.
00:55:51.000
It's technology identifies people with the right experience.
00:56:02.300
You can't give a job to somebody that's not a candidate.
00:56:17.640
And said he was impressed by how quickly he had great candidates apply.
00:56:22.720
He also used zip recruiters candidate rating feature to filter his applicants.
00:56:32.960
This dude said he does breastfeed in the long way.
00:56:39.700
And that's how Dylan found his new director of coffee in just a few days.
00:56:47.960
Who post on zip recruiter get a quality candidate within the first day.
00:56:53.140
See why zip recruiter is effective for businesses of all sizes.
00:57:33.680
Nurses, doctors, dentists, and people who work in medicine and healthcare are pretty awesome.
00:57:41.240
And all of us can think of a time when a medical professional helped us.
00:57:48.180
For years, nurses, doctors, dentists, and other awesome medical professionals were forced to wear scratchy, ill-fitting scrubs.
00:57:58.600
If you look at old pictures, you'll see them in burlap out there.
00:58:01.340
Sometimes even just rope wrapped around their body.
00:58:03.700
While they're trying to put a, uh, put an IV or, you know, tie off a colostomy.
00:58:10.180
Not only were they ugly and uncomfortable, but they weren't designed with innovative technical properties to protect you and hold life-saving tools.
00:58:20.500
Every time you shop at Figs, they give scrubs to a healthcare provider in need around the world through their Threads for Threads initiative.
00:58:28.920
So next time you're a friend who's a doctor, nurse, dentist, dermatologist, pediatrician, or some, just somebody who likes some damn role play.
00:58:44.360
So if you're an awesome human that works in healthcare, someone that wants to say thanks to these deserving folks,
00:58:49.480
Figs is going to make that easy by providing you with 15% off your first purchase by using my code T-H-E-O.

00:59:12.020
That's my sister's name and she's going to get those for, uh, Christmas.
00:59:17.560
Or she's getting a couple of free passes to that Sinaloan Zoo, dog.
00:59:25.200
Somebody needs to teach an antelope how to use an AK.
00:59:30.860
Um, let's get into, let's take one more call and then maybe we'll get Nick in and go over some news.
00:59:48.320
And that's what, these days people have a simple name, Elle, R.
00:59:56.760
Um, so I've been doing improv the last two years and, um, there was this guy that I noticed
01:00:05.960
in another class and I, I immediately loved him and I thought he was attractive.
01:00:12.720
And, uh, eventually I started my own sketch group and I did invite this person.
01:00:19.880
Um, you know, he's funny, but I also, you know, love him.
01:00:30.740
I found out later that he does have a girlfriend and it's every week and each week it gets a
01:00:37.680
little bit harder to be around him because, you know, I really, um, I really like him.
01:00:43.680
And, uh, so, um, if you have any advice, please let me know.
01:00:49.320
Well, it's beautiful that you, uh, that you care about somebody.
01:01:02.680
They walk right past them having a soda and just keep drinking a soda.
01:01:07.600
That's a damn, dude, a half of Dr. Pepper will save somebody probably from the waist down.
01:01:11.500
Um, but, uh, so what I'm saying is that, yeah, I mean, that kind of sucks because you invited
01:01:24.700
If you bring the cat to the cradle, you can't, you're going to have to hear a meow whether you
01:01:32.720
But, um, I think you just gotta be, cause at this point, if he was interested in being
01:01:43.340
not, you know, getting, you know, if he was interested in really playing two hand touch
01:01:49.300
without any hands and just with penis and everything, but then he would, he would be
01:01:54.760
yelling it, you know, and I've, I've been a dirt ball, so I don't really, you know, I
01:02:04.060
know if he were really interested, he would probably have been on it.
01:02:06.700
And if you got him in there every week, you throwing it at him, you know, the improv and
01:02:11.480
you telling him, Oh, why don't you come over here?
01:02:13.260
And, you know, you know, pretend my, uh, you know, pretend my butt's on fire and you're
01:02:20.060
And he's like, well, how does that make any sense?
01:02:21.720
It's like, Oh, you just come on and you'll see, run in, run in with your jouster.
01:02:31.920
That's, you know, it's just, you're, it just kind of sucks, kind of sucks there because
01:02:41.580
So many times you invite people to do something, you want to have sex with them, they don't.
01:02:49.940
I mean, you can try, but you know, you can't, there's no way to make it happen, you know,
01:03:02.140
I mean, here's the thing, man, my stepdad, you know, it's not my real stepdad, but there's
01:03:07.380
a, this family, I, I got a, you know, emancipated when I was young and I went and live with a
01:03:12.380
And, and the man is kind of like my stepdad and I call him that anyway, cause it just
01:03:19.280
But he told me when he was in, I don't know when he was in something alive, when he was
01:03:25.720
alive and younger that he went to, he had a girlfriend and she got, they broke up and
01:03:32.300
Like a couple months, like maybe six, eight months, a year later.
01:03:36.660
And one night he was drinking and he just thought he was still in love with her.
01:03:48.900
So, and he said he was happy because the next day he realized that he was just drunk.
01:03:54.460
But, uh, so anyway, what I'm saying is it's okay to take your chances.
01:03:59.460
It's okay to put the feelers out there, but if, if they're really in love and they got a
01:04:03.540
happy deal going on, you know, you don't want to, you know, you don't want to, you know,
01:04:12.320
Um, so, but good luck out there and, uh, and thanks for helping.
01:04:24.080
I got to hit a meeting, but thank you guys so much for being here.
01:04:28.340
Uh, we're going to do some news with Nick and then we will, and then we'll get to the
01:04:55.840
I heard you say earlier when I came in, what was up?
01:04:58.600
Uh, Friday, just met up with some friends and, uh, played tennis for a couple hours and
01:05:05.240
And, uh, Saturday, just, uh, watched the UFC and then I went to the concert or went to a
01:05:10.500
concert with, uh, the girl that I went to the Logan Paul fight with.
01:05:19.560
He's like kind of James Brown-esque at, uh, Museum of Contemporary Art and, yeah, solid
01:05:30.140
Yeah, that's what you, you said you hit a four, four hit, four hit, uh, thing, parlay?
01:06:15.720
Uh, first news topic, uh, Thursday night, uh, from the fallout, Miles Garrett, the, uh, Cleveland
01:06:23.180
Browns linebacker is suspended for the rest of the season.
01:06:26.080
And, and, and definitely after that, after ripping off Mason Rudolph's helmet and then
01:06:30.180
hitting him with it at, uh, during a skirmish at the end of the game, uh, did you see this?
01:06:37.840
I, it was, you know, I just thought it was guys being guys out there.
01:06:43.480
I really thought it was like, oh, it definitely was out of hand.
01:06:46.540
Like you can't, it's not fair that he gets a weapon and he doesn't get a weapon.
01:06:51.640
I think they should, you know, have them do a, you know, have the guy have a chance to
01:06:55.000
have a shield or, you know, some other, let's play a fifth quarter.
01:06:59.200
These, I think what they want is a fifth quarter.
01:07:03.720
Um, four, four guys from each team out there with a helmet and a shield, dude, and see who
01:07:09.500
I was also amazed that not that many people came to everybody's rescue.
01:07:13.600
Except, uh, Marquis Pouncey, he, the center for the Pittsburgh, he was the one, he like
01:07:19.280
He was punching and kicking Miles Garrett in the head.
01:07:21.880
Once they had him subdued to the ground, it was, it was pretty wild.
01:07:30.420
Um, and Rudolph was kind of tickling him by the neck and stuff.
01:07:34.120
Uh, OJ Simpson also saw it and he really thought, uh, Mason started it.
01:07:43.900
The minute Mason went after the man's helmet with his foot in his groin, it's on.
01:07:49.940
I'm hearing all these announcers saying, uh, that Garrett should be suspended.
01:07:56.160
But when a guy's trying to get your helmet off your head and that's where it started,
01:08:15.820
So for him, it doesn't take much for it to be on.
01:08:27.800
I thought it would have been fair if he got three games.
01:08:31.900
It seemed like the heat of, the heat of, of, you know, the heat of battle.
01:08:41.040
And I, I seem like, uh, my guess when it, right when it happened was it was going to
01:08:50.780
He already got suspended for the season for the Raiders earlier, just for like helmet to
01:08:55.180
And like, I don't know, he's swung that with kind of ill, ill intent.
01:09:02.540
But he really seemed like he just completely lost control and he needs to be punished.
01:09:08.480
Like a couple of weeks ago, uh, he tweeted about, uh, he was in his car and a fan walked
01:09:13.960
up to him and like acted like they wanted an autograph, but then just hauled off and
01:09:18.900
And he didn't do any, he didn't react at all in that moment.
01:09:21.780
So I just feel like that fan really caught him on a good day because otherwise he would
01:09:29.140
I mean, it's just like maybe, yeah, maybe Rudolph.
01:09:33.600
I mean, the, the tough thing too is for Rudolph, it's like, I don't know if that fueled him
01:09:39.620
You know, I guess we'll see when he plays his next game, if it like fired him up or if
01:09:45.900
I wonder if that would have any effect when they play each other in two weeks.
01:09:59.360
I love, I love the old, uh, late eighties, early nineties basketball fights.
01:10:21.140
Uh, so Colin Kaepernick, he finally got his wish and was able to work out in front of
01:10:26.840
Uh, his workout on Saturday ended up taking place at a high school in Atlanta.
01:10:31.240
The NFL initially scheduled it for the Atlanta Falcons practice facility, but, uh, there were
01:10:38.220
some back and forth with some statements made from the NFL and Colin Kaepernick side and
01:10:42.720
Kaepernick side said they, uh, NFL was going to deny all media access at the Falcons, but
01:10:49.160
So they wanted it to be completely transparent.
01:10:51.720
So everybody could see theoretically how good he did.
01:10:54.900
And, uh, yeah, there's a lot of posturing on both sides.
01:10:57.960
It felt like that felt like a lot of posture on both sides.
01:11:01.440
You know, it feels like, you know, he's probably, I don't know if he really feels scorned.
01:11:05.340
Sometimes with him, it's hard to know if he really feels scorned or if he, you know,
01:11:12.480
And if, you know, they're trying to find a way to get him back in it and it might not
01:11:20.700
It's interesting whenever you get caught up in, you become something that's very public.
01:11:26.280
You have a lot of people chirping in your ear about how you should behave, what you should
01:11:32.800
Uh, you know, I really, I wonder, I wish I knew him cause you would have a much better
01:11:41.000
Um, like, did he move it so that he could have every reporter be there so he could get
01:11:45.120
more press or, um, cause he's probably thinking, oh, if it's closed, then nobody will know how
01:11:59.460
Uh, say what you will about the cause, but I feel like if you sat him down and really asked
01:12:03.780
like, what are you trying to accomplish with this?
01:12:06.140
Like you just get this long drawn out answer and he, he can't really answer it.
01:12:11.720
I think it's kind of like you, like people have gotten in his ear and he's kind of an
01:12:14.960
empty vessel being just steered in whichever way is going to make the quickest buck.
01:12:19.820
Um, and I also heard, uh, this is complete hearsay, but, uh, from someone who says they
01:12:25.600
know of the situation that like, he didn't really give a fuck about social justice issue
01:12:31.820
And then he started dating some girl who was really, uh, active in that type of thing.
01:12:42.660
I told you a source close with knowledge, close to the situation.
01:12:49.780
Um, yeah, it makes you wonder cause they got paid out from the NFL.
01:12:56.380
I think the NFL gives a lot of opportunity to African-Americans.
01:12:59.400
So I didn't, you know, it's mostly African-Americans.
01:13:01.960
So I didn't see what the, I've never, ever seen what the issue is.
01:13:05.580
And you can't tell me if Lamar Jackson was, it was taking a knee teams would get rid of
01:13:10.960
He'd, he'd have, he'd still be a starting quarterback in this league.
01:13:13.800
Like, dude, they should make him take a knee so good, you know, for one quarter.
01:13:17.860
I'm saying, bro, we need to add more quarters, dude.
01:13:25.440
Let's see, uh, a Seattle police captain was arrested in an undercover prostitution sting
01:13:33.160
Uh, the 52, 53 year old Seattle veteran, uh, police captain Randall Woolery offered $40
01:13:40.060
to an undercover officer who was posing as a prostitute and he was arrested on the spot.
01:13:45.760
Dude, if you're Randall, bro, you're going down.
01:13:49.720
Name seven fucking Randalls that haven't done something troublesome.
01:14:02.420
They were trying to strut down some, uh, sex trafficking.
01:14:06.700
I think he should have been suspicious when it was only $40.
01:14:13.460
You have more, I think, experience with prostitutes than myself.
01:14:21.120
Well, for $40, you might as well give that to your buddy, dude, and just tell him something
01:14:28.820
You parlay that, you get $500, and then I can get myself.
01:14:38.580
Uh, the Gloveless Combat Sports Organization, Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, has signed
01:14:50.740
Uh, he's a 370 pound bodybuilder, and he's 27 years old.
01:14:55.540
And he's been expressing an interest in combat sports for a while, and the announcement
01:14:59.920
finally came during Bare Knuckles' ninth event this past Saturday.
01:15:05.380
And he really, he has what I've often referred to as desert fat.
01:15:12.780
Kim Kardashian has that, it's almost like very organized kind of fat, it looks like.
01:15:20.040
Like, to me, this gentleman doesn't look like as much muscle as it is more of a gristle,
01:15:27.280
But, and you can, there's, you know, I, I remember I dated a girl for a while that had
01:15:32.700
that hard fat in her, and it's more of a, it feels a little more outdoorsy than more,
01:15:40.240
you get that soft, you know, soft fat, it just feels a little bit more like a, you know,
01:15:49.560
If you feel somebody's shit diaper out from the outside of it, like a baby's after it's full,
01:15:52.900
and if you kind of squeeze it a little, it feels like that, but, um, but yeah, this
01:16:01.980
Who, who would this guy fight you to furniture?
01:16:05.520
Yeah, they're looking for other super heavyweights, uh, whatever, it's not going to be very high
01:16:13.920
His, his muscles to me look like that stuff, like you'd see guys, they inject it with something
01:16:18.860
that it, it, I guess, I guess it's hard, hard fat is what you're calling it, but, uh, yeah,
01:16:24.340
it looks, they inject it, so it's not real muscle, and it's like dangerous for you, but
01:16:27.460
they get this look that I guess is desirable to some.
01:16:31.160
That Grotox, man, it's something, yeah, there's something, there's a new, yeah, that's going
01:16:37.380
You know, people are going to get tired of doing all this muscle, and at some point it's
01:16:40.620
going to become more of a, you know, there's going to be more of a sculpted fat in people,
01:16:45.420
like, oh, look how cool my fat is, you know, whereas not just like, look a lot, watch my
01:16:50.040
fat be wherever it wants to be, look how I control my fat, look what I did, you know,
01:16:54.160
I have a Mount Rushmore on my back, you know, like, you're going to be able to really do
01:16:57.240
whatever you want with a lot of Botoxing and, and stuff like that, um.
01:17:03.440
Yeah, I mean, it's going to be wild, and especially if this guy, I mean, who knows, this guy could
01:17:07.580
be president, uh, or this guy, and, and now, uh, some of these camera angles look kind
01:17:16.740
Yeah, it definitely, it looks like there's some Photoshop often with a lot of the stuff
01:17:20.760
he puts out, uh, he looks like, uh, Bluto from the aforementioned Popeyes.
01:17:32.900
Now, I also wouldn't be shocked if you walked in and this dude was fucking a recliner, you
01:17:37.500
He seemed like the kind of dude that he would see a furniture and get turnt out.
01:17:40.340
So, but that's beautiful, man, that desert fad, and it really, there's something romantic
01:17:54.780
All right, uh, I gotta go to a meeting, guys, and I love you.
01:18:08.400
It's November, might not have an episode next week, I'm not sure yet.
01:18:44.020
Um, let's leave out on, uh, let's leave out the same way we came in, um, with Spencer
01:18:55.340
You guys be good to yourselves, uh, because you deserve it.
01:19:42.720
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm Jonathan Kite, and welcome to Kite Club, a podcast where I'll
