Speaker: Yes!
Speaker: Yeah, buddy. Oh, there's that sweet, beautiful sound. What's going on, everybody? Happy Monday. Welcome to Nonsenseical Nonsense. We've got Tony D in the building.
Speaker: You guys know me by now. I'm Glick. We got a special guest hanging out with us tonight. My man, Dizzy. This cat is hustling harder than a cat Mo used to do. Some of you guys may know podcast. Some of you guys might know him from the Mike Calton after show or as he claims, he is Mike Calton, Roger and JP.
Speaker: and then a cat named Mo Show. The guy's all over the place. He's doing a little bit of everything. I'm glad you had time to come in here and hang out with us for a little bit, brother. Been a, been a hot minute. Yeah, man. I like, Hey man, I checked out your stuff the other day. It was, you know, I was in the room while you were chatting and stuff and doing it. I had a little fun time with y 'all. So when you asked me to come on, I was like, hell yeah, dog. Let's do it, man. This seems fun.
Speaker: And if any of you guys who have never heard of a lazy ass podcast, first and foremost, shame on you. Second of all, second of all, if you listen to us, if you like us, you'd absolutely love those guys. I mean, I think you guys, you guys cut it up a lot like we do. It's real talk, real conversation. And there's no bullshit involved. So, and you have a hell of a time doing it. I try to catch it as much as I can. I usually wind up catching the replays and stuff like that. If I can't catch it live.
Speaker: But what's going on with you, man? What's going on in your world, Daisy? Man, just working hard, you know, uh, with the podcast, you know, the best of the base coming up. Uh, we hope we got nominated so we can be on the list and hopefully win that thing. Um, you know, obviously the after show, doing it every day, weekdays, having fun with that, being able to like push the envelope a little more and more and more. And.
Speaker: Just hoping for more opportunities, man. I got a lot of stuff coming up. Thank you for the YouTube stuff I'm going to be doing and stuff. So I'm just excited. Yeah, you're grinding your ass off there at the bone. I mean, you're a little bit of everywhere. And that's crazy. I'm loving watching the come up. I've been a fan since, you know, listen, I've been a fan of Mo since he was up here in Ohio. He used to be on a station here in Ohio.
Speaker: So I got my first little taste of you from there. And then when you beat the hell out of that douchebag Ryan Hoppe, that was great. Yeah, that felt good. That felt good, bro. So I'm loving watching the come up that you're doing, man. That's awesome. And I couldn't wish for anybody better because you just, I don't know, man, you know what you're doing. And I'm glad they're giving you a little bit more leeway on the after show.
Speaker: and goddamn fans want to piss them on. Does he do it too much? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker: You learn with this game that like, you know, there's always going to be haters, bro. There's always going to be people who are hating. And honestly, that's the sign that you're doing something right. When people go out the way to just throw that hate at you, you're doing the right thing. You know what I'm saying? And for everyone that hates, there's like, there's always those couple of people that will reach out and be like, man, you're like, what you just said, like, you'll be like, oh, you're killing it. Or I love what you're doing at the thing. So it's humbling. But at the same time, like the bone fam is so, so much love at the time. So like,
Speaker: I'm just loving where it's going right now and I'm trying to do something different you know because like a lot of the people who do these shows they had to like go on the weekend to get their own time slot and talk and stuff like that and then like I'm one of the only people who could honestly say like I get I get to talk for an hour well not a whole hour but I get an hour time slot in the morning which is like something people don't just get you know what I'm saying so I'm blessed to have that opportunity bro that's that's that that's that prime time slot man and and and you know
Speaker: And, you know, like you said, the bone fan, man, they'll love you. They'll love you to death, but they'll also hang up on a cross and crucify your ass just just as. A hundred percent, bro. A hundred percent, man. I've been on the roller coaster a lot with some of the fan base. Like sometimes they're like, oh, this is the best, blah, blah, blah. They're like, man, fire this motherfucker sometimes. So it's cool, bro. As long as they're listening, I'm not I'm not tripping.
Speaker: Yeah, just just talk to your girl Monica. She'll know all about. She'll be able to teach you the ins and outs of the roller coaster. President of fan club. Yeah, they have. I've been a fan. I've been listening to the boat now for since Mike was in the afternoons. I found out about them. I was living in South Carolina at the time. Through a certain other individual that Mike used to.
Speaker: I worked for and then you started talking, you know, the count and stuff. I was like, oh, you know, when they were going through their radio war, let me check this guy out. He really is. And I've been a fan ever since. I'm like, this guy's way better than this fucking 1990s Howard Stern ripple. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker: Wild watching the changes that have come through there But now dude you came in like like a fucking wrecking ball to you know to be 100 % honest with you And you've not taken your foot off the gas pedal. So that's fucking awesome Yeah, and honestly I like when I moved back down here I had no clue what the bone was never heard of it at all
Speaker: Came down here and I even when I started working around so the first day I worked in the office my account I had a live show in the performance theater there and it had like strippers in there and like they were like Oh like they had to carry I don't know if I should have said that but they're carrying bitches out of the bathroom Let's say because they were acting too wild dog Is that the one where the ambulance
Speaker: I think so. It was like a, so it was a big, big black guy and he had like a stomach that covered himself. Yeah. Okay.
Speaker: It was that day. It was that day dog. And I was like, what the fuck? And I like, again, I never knew what the bone was. So I was watching this. I was like, bro, is this, is this, is this what they do every day here? And then I was like keeping an eye on. So I started listening more because I worked on the music rotation. So I worked for like hot one on one five magic, the dove, all those things. And I would go to promo gigs and I would see the bone and I'd see the fan base.
Speaker: And I would see how much they're loved. I was like, damn, bro, this fan base is loyal. And I started listening to the shows more in between going to events. And I would listen to Mike Calto. I'd be like, that's pretty crazy. Then I'd listen to fucking Roger and JP. And I heard JP. I'm like, this guy's hilarious. So I just started listening a lot more and started being like, OK, man, I feel like I can fuck around with these people because they're funny.
Speaker: and they get the humor and like all that so i just started like thinking of a way to slowly find my way into the bone fan because i wanted to get in there because i was like man i think i'm funny as fuck let me get on with these guys bro
Speaker: No, you definitely you definitely have have gotten your way on there and found a spot in the fans hearts. So to say that's that's for sure. I mean, that's and there's so much talent in there as much, you know, as much shit as they give Mo that guy is, you know, somebody that I've always wanted to be in radio that I used to look up to because I was a fan of him when they were up here in Columbus. They had a morning show. Yeah. So you have so much talent if you take advantage
Speaker: of the opportunity to learn from and listen and then not shit on everybody as soon as some half ass bogus opportunity comes around. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That was one of the things I like, I was always, I mean, I grew up playing sports. So criticism is something I could always take. Cause I always wanted to better myself. I always wanted to be, I'm competitive. I always wanted to be the best out there. So I'm gonna listen to criticism so I can be better.
Speaker: When I wasn't even working on the bone, I started listening and I heard a hoppy, I would give him criticism and like positive. I'd be like, bro, if you just lean into you being you and stop trying to be what you're not, you would be full time on the station. Right. And anyone who knows him knows he can't take. Oh, Bruce Rose on us. So like he shut it down.
Speaker: Uh -oh. We're back. We're back. Yeah, you're back now. You're back now. Go ahead. Yeah. So yeah, I was like, I was just like, damn, bro. Like, this guy doesn't know how to take criticism. I was like, he needs to get in there more. And I was even planning on being on the bone at this time. I was planning on Atlanta and doing a marketing job there. And I'm not going to say who, but I feel like someone at CMG kind of stood in my way and was like, kind of like,
Speaker: my biggest roadblock for the longest time and I couldn't get past this person. I just didn't know what they didn't like about me, dog. And then I reached out to Mo because someone told me that like, bro, you should go on the bone. And I was like, bro, I don't even know who to talk to. And I remember seeing Mo all the time in the hallways, right? Because
Speaker: he would be doing his bdrs show and I would be leaving and we're like the only brothers in the building so we would always stop chopping up a little bit and then keep it moving so then I messaged him one day I was just like bro do you mind if I come learn with you and you know be on your show I'll be a fly on the wall bro I don't have to talk or nothing and he's like yeah man come on out
Speaker: And I did. And that person who was my biggest hater stepped in my way and kind of stopped me from going on that show. Right. And then as the time went on, that person actually is like one of the people in my corner now. They're like the biggest advocate for me. And it's not Mike Alton, just to answer that. It's not Mike Alton. It's someone else. But you're good. Yeah.
Speaker: So since then, bro, I've just been climbing and climbing and climbing and just like, I always knew that like, whenever someone asked me to come do a show, if I could do it, I'm gonna show up, bro. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, you gotta take any opportunity you can and jump at it. And not show any hesitation, you know, we were kind of going back and forth on Juneteenth.
Speaker: when you guys were doing the show with Mo and I said, damn, yeah, all the, all the black guys working on Juneteenth, June 19th, everybody else. And the only thing that I appreciate that I like about you, man, is
Speaker: Even on Arabic, you say whatever the fuck you want, even like if somebody's, if something's aggravating you at work, you're just like, yeah, these motherfuckers. I'm like, okay. Yeah, for sure. I mean, one of the things I learned early, uh, like people will see right through bullshit. So you gotta be yourself.
Speaker: So I'm always what you see on air is what you're going to get off there. I'm going to be the same type of person. I have a problem with you. I'll say it on air because I have a problem with you. I don't want to fake it. You know what I mean? Like me and Monica bumped heads because there's times where I've been like, no, I don't like how you do this. I'm pissed at you. I'm gonna say it. I'm not going to hide it because that's just who I am. And I also knew that like, like I said, people can see right through your bullshit. So I'm not going to fake who I am on air. I'm going to be the same.
Speaker: I do in these streets. I'm gonna do what she took him out there. He might be having some internet issues. I think you're back. You might be having some internet issues down there. Yeah, it's pouring right now. So I don't know if that has anything to do with
Speaker: Yeah, but yeah, dog, like I said, I was just fucking, what you get on there is what you're going to get off there. I'm just the same person. I always knew that like going into this radio thing, I didn't want to have any regrets. I'm going to say how I feel. I'm going to make the jokes I want to joke, make, and I'm going to say what exactly is on my mind. If you don't like it, fuck it. I don't care. That's me. You know what I'm saying?
Speaker: And that's kind of how we are on this show, especially me. I'm very, as Tony says all the time, I'm an opinionated motherfucker. I speak my mind. I don't give a damn. I don't care who's listening, who's I hurt. I'm going to say what I want to say and do what I want to do. You know, at the end of the day, I did want to ask you, I don't want to make this a full on like boring ass interview thing. I want to kind of hang out and shoot the shit. But I wanted to ask you, have you always had
Speaker: Like a lot of people call it the radio bug that urge to be on the radio or is that just something that, cause I know you've talked on air about wanting to work in TV and, and stuff like that. And you're still coaching soccer. So you're heavily involved in soccer or as your people say, football. Yes, Tony, he's Canadian.
Speaker: I for sure have always had, I feel like the gift of gab where I just like always talk and blah, blah, blah, I like to entertain. I always knew I wanted to do something in there. When I was younger, I tried to get into acting, but my parents didn't want to get an agent for me. So I was like, all right, there goes that dream. And I just didn't ever pursue that anymore. But I did do some stand up and kind of fucking hosted events in Canada and shit. And I just started falling more in love with it.
Speaker: but i used to have a brother and i said my brother but he was my best friend but like he grew up with me lived up my house he's basically my brother um he used to make music and he was all into the music he was super fucking talented at hip -hop so i was managing him and i got into radio actually because i figured that would be the best way to get his music out there
Speaker: and push his music a lot but unfortunately literally the last day of my exams like my final exams he took his life the night before and i yeah i didn't know until like i saw the phone call the day of my exam and i didn't answer it because i was going in i was like oh how like him when i come out come to find out it was this girl who was calling me and was like bro your bro bro was gone blah blah blah and then it was just like
Speaker: fuck man what am I gonna do now with this radio shit like there was a different reason for this you know yeah and it was just a lot because I did have that exam but I had another exam coming up so I couldn't even go to his funeral so I was just fucking like oh shit what am I doing and I tried to get into sports radio but in Canada it's all hockey and baseball and I don't really know shit about that so I was like man let me go back to Florida let me figure shit out and I know people back home so I was planning on going to wild 94 -1
Speaker: and I applied to there but Cox media hit me up like I set my resume in two hours later they called me and we're like bro you want to come in for an interview I was like fuck yeah I was like all right cool so I was like I just went all in with Cox media you heard here first he went all in with Cox yeah all in with the Cox
Speaker: First of all, I'm sorry to hear about your brother, man. That's, you know, that, that kind of loss, you know, for that, that'll mess with you too. Yeah. You know, that kind of loss will shake your foundation to the core. And I mean, it almost sounds like
Speaker: I hate when people try to find a positive spin on such a negative situation, but I find myself doing it quite a bit, but it almost sounds like that happened and kind of steered the trajectory for you into this path where you're at now, you know, and having the opportunities that you have now with the bone, and not necessarily in the bone, but within the Cox media family, you know, as you know, once you're there, I mean, there's been other,
Speaker: people from the radio that have gone to other cities and gone on to better opportunities. I think probably the most recent one that was probably the most successful was Kayla getting to go out to Vegas and having a morning show. So you just never know what other opportunities once you're in and people are hearing you and what you do and you're still a younger guy. So you have that opportunity to be on some of those
Speaker: you know, those younger channels where they're, you know, the music's directed at a younger generation, so they might be trying to phase out some of the older people if it's not necessarily talk radio, but you have that opportunity with that younger crowd with music radio and stuff like that. So, you know, you never know where it is. You too.
Speaker: For sure. Everything happens for a reason. And I learned that a lot more growing up, especially more recently. When my brother passed, I knew it was something really hard. But I definitely learned from it and pivoted. And it definitely changed me in a better way, as bad as that sounds. I learned in a better way. And that was mostly, too, after therapy. Because I was engaged. I talked about this in there. I used to be engaged. That fell through. And that fucked me up, too, because when that had happened, I was planning on leaving radio.
Speaker: because I had put like 12k together as far as an investment and I was gonna invest in a medical marijuana grow house and that was all going well and they were building it but then COVID hit and that fucked everything. So I lost that and I lost my fiance at the time so I was just dealing with a lot and I was just at my lowest point
Speaker: and thankfully i went to therapy and when i went to therapy i was like i wish i did this my brother passed away because i would have been in this so much better mental space and be able to really pivot with the shit i needed to do so i learned that and like ever since then anything that happens to me i always think like bro this is a learning lesson
Speaker: Just take it, man. And now even when people say shit to me or anything, I've been at my lowest already. I know what rock bottom feels like. So nothing anyone says or does to me can make me ever feel that way again because I've already been there. So now it's always only positive from here, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, exactly. No, exactly. I mean, excuse me.
Speaker: You just never know when that curveball is going to be thrown at you. And I actually, you know, I used to be friends with Hoppy. When he first came onto the bone, I started listening to his Hoppy hour and I got to be friends with him. And I used to try to tell him, look, dude, if he would have a minor setback, he would freak out. And I would talk to him and be like, look, it's OK, man. It's a curveball. If you swing and miss, there's going to be another pitch coming your way.
Speaker: But I mean, that's the ultimate thing with people. Just because you hit a speed bump or you trip and stumble doesn't mean you have to stay down. And that's cool, man. I mean, I knew, obviously, we know a little bit looking on the outside, looking in as fans. You get to hear a little bit about what's going on with people and what's going on in their world. But you don't really get to go too far in depth with that.
Speaker: So you can only get an image or so much of, oh, well, I don't like Dizzy because he thinks he's got a, he's got a big head. He's got an ego. He thinks he's better than this, that and the other thing. When in actuality, it's like, no, look, I mean, my man stumbled a few times. He's had some hiccups. He'll, you know, he's, he's fallen, but he's gotten back up. So let him have his moment. Let him be an egotistical fucking prick for a few, you know, because I'm the same way. I mean, these guys bust my balls all the time. Um,
Speaker: about my ego. I'm a bit, I do have a, you know, I think, I think a lot of it is just being on this podcast and having fun and having a small character that I play. Um, because in real life, I'm a lot more humble than what I am on the show. But, but as I've, as these guys know, especially our other co -host Jeff, him and I have been friends since high school. Um, I've been through hell and bad.
Speaker: Let me have my moment when I got on my phone in front of my face. Let me, let me do my thing. People are liking it. People are entertained. That's all that matters. Shut up. Nobody cares about your feelings. Yeah. We're all going through stuff. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. So I definitely get it. Um, I gotta ask you though, because it's been something that since, since it's happened and I wanted to, it's not necessarily in person, but it's kind of in person with everything that happened with, with the whole hobby situation.
Speaker: Yeah. How much sweeter was that chance that you that you had to get in the ring with him? And and for a lack of better words, give him a beat down.
Speaker: It was definitely good. I mean, for the fight too, I was trying to push way before the boxing fight. I was trying to push it for an MMA fight. Because I was like, man, if it's MMA, it's a lot harder hits. And then I could throw my kicks in there and all that. But Hoppy didn't want to do it. And then Mike said, Mike Kautza said that he wanted to do it, pushed to do it. But there was more. It's a whole different ballgame than boxing. You've got to get all these other things for that. So it changes a lot.
Speaker: So I was all in though because I was like, man, you got to do something different. You got to prove something here. So when you go in this fight, fuck this guy up. He was writing the whole fight, which was kind of hard and annoying and.
Speaker: one thing that i did hate about going to the fight because he's a tall guy and obviously i'm a short guy so the whole time when i'm training i was throwing all these overhands overhands and i i swear to you i basically popped my my shoulder out of my thing so three days before the fight i could barely lift my fucking arm my right arm actually i could barely lift my right arm and the day of the fight i could lift it but like
Speaker: When I threw it I could I would feel it. You know what I'm saying? Like it would it would hurt and I broke my thumb The day of the fight like of the fight I threw a punch and like when I connected it broke my thumb So I felt that during the fight, but the whole time I was just like man You got to put on the show you got to put on the show You can't let this guy any good hits on you. You got to make sure you put on the show So I just fucking went for it dog. I
Speaker: and it paid off because I had like my cousin there repping me and at the time the guys I did a podcast with and I just had a lot in my head uh and like at the time again I was kind of on my way out around this time I was kind of like in my head I was like I got some other stuff going this is probably where I'm gonna finish my career in radio in this era you know what I'm saying I'm gonna fucking forget all this and this guy that used to work there named Dash I don't know if you ever heard of him
Speaker: he was a big guy he was a yeah he was a promo dude and all this he came to the fight and supported me and shit and uh right before the fight he was hyping me up he was like man the pony ain't never gonna give you a chance this is it dog you got to do everything leave it all on the he was hyping me up like this was my fucking eight mile moment
Speaker: So I was all in doll that she was that was one of the funnest nights Working at the bone was that and everyone like I didn't know nobody that night like Spike ran in I didn't know he worked at the bone He's like man. He just wanted me all this money blah blah blah blah blah And then like all these other people like wanted to have me come feature on their show now Like it was the first step where I was like, okay, man. I might be able to do something with this Maybe I shouldn't leave. You know what I'm saying?
Speaker: I see you fuckers in the comments, by the way. Y 'all ain't shit. Shut up. You're killing your ass over here. Just put a record. Marking Amanda, having a ball over there, just clowning on me. And get your hands back. Was there was there real heat between you and Hoppy? I mean, obviously there was some heat, but was it more for the radio or was that a legit heat that you had with him going into that? For me, it started as like
Speaker: I don't like how he talks about me. You know what I'm saying? Cause like I don't talk down on him. And at the time I was never really on the bone at all. Like I was barely on Mo and SVK show.
Speaker: So when he started, started just running his mouth about me and kind of like talking down on like me as an employee, that started getting me tight because I was like, bro, who the fuck does this guy think he's talking to? So that's when I started hyping up. And honestly, the only reason I did it is because of the podcast, one of my boys on the podcast, he was like, bro, we should talk about it on the podcast and you say wherever the fuck you want. And he's like, and I'll send that shit to Galvin because I know Galvin will be interested. So I did.
Speaker: Yeah, yes, they did. And I just started like, then anyone who knows me knows that I'm pretty good with the snaps and the roast, right? I'm a shorter dude. I told you this. I grew up shorter. I grew up in the era of like, when they go to be like, get them, you know, they roast each other and shit. So I had to be quick with it. I got real good at it. So they just kind of like let me loose on the podcast. And I just started ripping on
Speaker: Hoppin like oh, you know Calling them like all these fucked up words. I'm like his simple Jack looking ass and all this stupid shit I was saying and when Calton them played the clip they loved it and that's when they were first like oh
Speaker: this is the little dude we see all the time in the fucking studios and shit all right let's see what this guy can do so i was all fucking in on that shit uh and it really hit the wall when we were on air one day and they brought me in the studio to promote the fight and this point
Speaker: like i was more leaning into it as a radio bit i don't know what hoppy's idea was but he came in the studio one day like like trying to surprise me with him which i knew he was coming in and uh he started talking shit and he was like he called me a pussy and i remember that just that set me off because he's like who the fuck is this guy calling a pussy i was like bro i'm
Speaker: half the size of you and I'm the one hopping in this fight. If anything, you the pussy. And I remember saying a line to him because he had just got out his breakup and I was like, bro, your engagement is not the only thing you're going to lose this year. And then they were like, oh my God. And that's what I like. At that point, I was like all in. I was like, man, fuck this guy up, dog. Just lost your boy.
Speaker: No, I remember that. I remember that on the air and I was just, I was, I was like, Oh, okay. But you know, happy always had that ego. Like he was bigger than what he was. And it was nice to see that you got to come in and like you said, be in the smaller guy. Cause for those of you guys who don't know, I know we're kind of talking shop here, me as a fan of the bone and him working there, um, happy's almost seven foot tall.
Speaker: and he's not he's not he's not seven foot lanky he's uh he's got a little bit of okay camera's off he's got a little bit of a build on him uh get ready get in the shower but she had to throw her clothes into the uh washroom woman close the damn door well the washer and dryer is in in the bathroom behind me
Speaker: And then our bathroom in our bedroom. So she had to go from one room to another. Are you good? I'm about to turn on. Yeah. I would say it picks up like just pass the dress. Okay. You're good. But, um, but I, you know, I remember when you guys were going back and forth on this in the studio and stuff like that. But, you know, that was, that had to be, you would have thought for a normal person that would have been humbling.
Speaker: to go into that fight thinking, oh, I'm stronger, I'm gonna win. And then you lose. And then, you know, he was kind of cloud on, he was, in my opinion, I think he was given way more opportunities than he ever should have been given on that, on that network or on that radio station. But what the hell do I know? I'm not a radio guy. I'm just a fan. Getting on the outside looking in. Why is this fucking ass clown?
Speaker: And it's funny because after he, and let's just call a spade a spade, he screwed over CMG down there and one or two, five. Once he got, once he lost that might count to a rub, his numbers went to nothing. And I had messaged him, I said, amen.
Speaker: Uh, you know, hopefully everything still keeps going good for you. I hate to see you burn that bridge. Um, you had a good thing there, but hopefully, you know, this is the come up and that you were, you were looking for. And he shot me this nasty ass fucking message back. And I was like, okay, bro. I hope you fail. And then, you know, I was watching his numbers and stuff like that on social media and I messaged them back. And I was like, you see what acting like a bitch gets you? Yep. Yep.
Speaker: And the idea was to say, you know, I haven't talked to him since he since shortly after he left. But you mentioned the podcast. And as I said, lazy ass podcast, you guys can find him on Instagram and on all that social media and whatnot. It's it's kind of changed a little bit because it wasn't. How did you kind of come into taking over? Because I remember I wasn't AJ on there at one point in time.
Speaker: Yeah, so the way it started is when I started at CMG and shit, and as time was going on, I knew I was starting to do reps with Mo. I was just about to start doing like, you know, episodes with him. I think I did one at the time. And
Speaker: I talked to AJ cause he was in promo and me and him would kick it in promo cause I thought he was a cool dude. So we had good conversations and we'd have laughs. And I was like, bro, are you trying to do this podcast with me? Cause I was like, I don't want to do it by myself cause I'm not some, like that's so weird to just sit there by yourself on a mic and talk. That's weird. You know what I'm saying? Like it feels weird when I do it on the after show. So I couldn't do that for a whole hour just by myself.
Speaker: It's, it's tough to do. I mean, these guys, you know, I did it for years, did live streaming, like on Periscope and then on TikTok and stuff like that. And, but it was very heavily chat led. It wasn't just me. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. When we started this podcast, um,
Speaker: Got so used to his originally, it was just Jeff and I, and we did the show for about, I don't know what, about six, seven months or so. And Tony was, it was, you know, I met Tony through the app that we were using. Oh, excuse me. He was a friend of him and I become friends and, and I'd hang out on his streams and stuff like that. And he was a fan of the show that we used to do a starting five competition thing.
Speaker: Um, where we would just have a random topic and we would pick our art, we would do like an NFL draft style and draft our top five and then put it up on social media and let the audience vote on who had the best one. But Tony was doing that as a fan on the outside and then he came in. So I've been doing this show now for two years in a little over two years, um, with these two guys. And just recently they're like, Oh, you know, you should do the Glick show or do a show on your own.
Speaker: And I've done a couple and it's, it's, it's such a different world when, you know, when you're trying to do a podcast on your own, because you feel like a jackass, you don't have that, that, that second or third chair to, to kind of lean on if there's a law and you know, the chats aren't always coming through, um, you know, fast. So I totally understand that you're trying to do it on your own. That should, it's tough. So I tried to come in with like, I'm going to talk for an hour.
Speaker: I'm going to do an hour, hour and a half, but I'm going to have a topic. But so, uh, I didn't mean to interrupt you there, but yeah. So, so you and AJ originally started it, right? Yeah. Yeah. So, um, we were kind of figuring out what we were going to do, like how we were going to approach the whole idea. Cause I didn't have any of the equipment or nothing at the time. Uh,
Speaker: So we agreed by, boom, we're going to do it. Then there was another guy in promo named Anthony Pugliese and he went by pugs.
Speaker: and he was good friends with AJ and I guess AJ had told him the idea and he's like hey do you mind if I jump in with y 'all and I was on the fence because I didn't know who the guy was at first and AJ said he he has access to his studio I was like he's in he's fucking in let's do it he has access to the studio he's in because he went to uh Connecticut school broadcasting and he became uh like he works there too so
Speaker: once you graduate you get free studio time and then he's in charge of scheduling so he always had us perfectly booked and once the play is closed down we were able to do our show uninterrupted so we decided to yeah do it there uh it's all the way uh it's like 40 minutes from me and rush hour I had to drive there but I didn't care I just wanted to start working on my craft and get more comfortable behind the mic
Speaker: And it was uncensored, right? So it was fun. So we were all in. We did great. Everything was going well. It was a little different show back then, because we were still trying to figure out what we were. And we all had different ideas of where we wanted to go with it. And back then, because it was us three, it was kind of like we, it was majority rules, whatever we all agree on will do.
Speaker: Once COVID hit and stuff started going well, I was going through shit and I really couldn't even do the show and we lost access to the studio. Things started falling apart and the guys lost commitment. So AJ dropped off first, then Plus, and it was just me and my friend George. I brought him on
Speaker: because he was a great addition because we grew up together kind of like, you know, you guys said. So someone who grew up with me, we have a lot of relatable stories. He's a standup comedian. I'm on the radio. Cool. We can build off this. And we had him feature a couple of times. And, you know, we used to be on Spotify. Those would be our highest, highest listen to episodes because they were just funny. And if you listen to the lazy ass podcast, you'll know George is different and he's not afraid to talk about shit.
Speaker: anything really, you know what I'm saying? So he just started to add to that wild factor. Yeah. So then, you know, George and me started doing it. And then, um, we always wanted to bring a girl in and we were going to bring my home girl in at one point, but she moved out of the city so we couldn't bring her in. And then, you know, the Delta cruise came up and I brought one of my homegirls on the cruise and we had an episode where we just talked about the cruise.
Speaker: but everyone loved the episode she was on and they're like yo you needed a girl you should bring her on so we're like fuck it let's bring her on but now i run that shit like democracy like whatever i say goes and shit now it's not no majority rules it's fuck it i've been working on this since the beginning this is my podcast but i'll hear you all out they'll be give and take but i get final i get final say you know what i'm saying
Speaker: He sounds like he's got the same mentality I have, Tony. It's my show. You got it, bro. You know, that's kind of how I do a lot of shit behind the scenes. I just do things.
Speaker: And then like these guys will be like, oh hey, and I, you know, and I'm like, well, just run it by me first. Just don't, don't, don't surprise me on the show. Just run it by me. And, you know, and, you know, if we run with it, we run with it.
Speaker: Um, but I mean, I did the same thing because, um, you know, we, we have a tendency to air our grievances and stuff on air and, and, and, uh, about a week and a half ago, the three of us really kind of got into it, uh, to the point where Jeff, my other, you know, our other co -hosts, he actually just stormed off. He just left. Damn. I ain't told him a goddamn self. And
Speaker: And I tried reaching out to him and he wasn't responding to me and Tony and I did the show that next Monday. It happened on a Saturday and then Monday and I was like.
Speaker: Well, I might be doing a show on my own. I don't know if Tony's going to show up or not, but Tony and I had a conversation behind the scenes and stuff like that. And then I told Tony after the show, I was like, I don't know what's going on with Jeff. I've reached out to him. I've messaged him. He's he's reading them. He's he's not responding. He's reading them. Yeah. I was like he stood up on that Wednesday. But, you know,
Speaker: Sometimes you you reach that point where and like I said, you know, we don't we don't sugarcoat anything We're real if we can't be real with ourselves Then how are we gonna say we're real why we have an argument on the show? We're gonna have an argument on the show. Fuck it. And I ain't delete I'm Not the one that I've only edited one show and I've only deleted one show and taking it off the internet and both of those per were per Tony's requests and we talked outside of the show and I understood where he was coming from so
Speaker: as you know, I didn't want to be a complete dick. So I I just scrubbed them. You know, I scrubbed one hold. No, which outside of the it wasn't even a fight amongst ourselves. It was just with the haters. But I'm the type of person I'll ignore you for so long. But then I'm going to because, you know, I'm going to sit back and I'm going to watch and I'm going to listen and I'm going to collect my ammo. I'm going to collect my dirt. And then when I unleash hell,
Speaker: I don't give a fuck about your feelings because at this point in time I've ignored you and you keep coming and acting silly. Now I'm bringing all kinds of fire and just setting everything up. So it was one of those times and Tony was like, Hey man, I know you were mad.
Speaker: but if we can drop it, I'm like, don't worry about it, I got you. And then there was one that I just heavily edited. So listen to the replay, it sounds really fucked up, but it's still a good show. But now the addition of, you know, I've talked, I've thought about it and we've kind of flirted with the idea of adding a girl on the show. I'm just hesitant to add a girl on the show because, hey, I don't know anybody that well.
Speaker: And B, we have a tendency to go on tangents. And a lot of women are, you know, and it's not a shot. It's not a jab at them. They're easily offended. And I don't want to turn our show into something where we have to walk on eggshells and pussyfoot around subjects if something comes up because we don't want to have a goddamn meltdown, which
Speaker: We, you know, and it's like, well, you have a meltdown on my show, fucking leave. I don't care. But, uh, and I, and I'm just not one to kiss ass. I mean, who I am at the end of the day. So, but she, she's been a really cool addition to the show and I, and I like George on the show too. You know, I listened in the earlier days with you guys, with you and AJ and whatnot.
Speaker: And then kind of, you know, you guys kind of fell off and kind of disappeared. And then all of a sudden you've come back with this resurgence. And I like the three of you on the show. You guys are an awesome mesh of chemistry. I appreciate it. And that's where I'm grateful for like, we use StreamYard because Tony's in Georgia. I'm in Ohio and Jeff is in Cancun.
Speaker: And that's the great thing about StreamYard, StreamYard is I send out the links. I mean, you're in Florida, you're down there in Tampa and boom, we can all hang out and there's really not much of a delay or anything like that.
Speaker: but then I actually just switched over to a new platform for distribution. So the podcast is literally everywhere. It's on Spotify. But since I switched over to this new platform that's distributing it out and everything, not only are we growing, but they've actually hooked us up with sponsors. So now there's that sort of make money off of the show after two years, but since we've switched over,
Speaker: you know, we're getting double what we were getting on Spotify. And it's not like huge numbers. It's not like we're putting up, you know, a thousand listens an episode or anything like that. But when you go from a certain number that's been consistent for two years, you know, in two years, we had about 400 or about 4 ,000 downloads and listens through Anchor, distributing it through Anchor. Since I've switched over to Zencaster,
Speaker: in three weeks, wherever 500 downloads and listens. So it was like, do the math. Do the math. See who's really actually helping the podcast grow and push the podcast and getting it out there where people can hear it and see it and listen to it. So, you know, and when you're doing it, that's at the end of the day, that's the name of the game. You want people to listen. You want people to see it. You want people to hear it. You know, that's why I kind of jumped into this new,
Speaker: After our argument, I had to sit down and I had to really think and have me a Michael Jackson moment and talk to the man in the mirror, you know, and re and kind of remastered the show with what I want to do and how I wanted to operate. And one of those things was bringing guests on. I don't care how big or small your podcast is or how big or small you are. You know, it's something that we've always wanted to do is have guests. We've had a few.
Speaker: Um, probably our biggest was, um, our two biggest were Chris Cluey, former NFL player. He was a punter for the Minnesota Vikings, probably one of the greatest punters in NFL history. But unfortunately his career was cut short because of his.
Speaker: I won't say political views, but he was a very strong activist and ally towards the LGBTQ. And he said it himself, that that's part of the reason why he thinks his NFL career was so short. But he was a great guest. When he came on here, we didn't know what the hell to expect, but he came right in and was just rolling with the punches, talking shit to the point where before the show was over, he was like, I come back again.
Speaker: He was like, when's the next show? Saturday night. All right, I'll see you Saturday night. I was like, shit, blew my mind. And then one of my favorite rock bands, Blacktop Mojo, we had their lead singer on here a few months back. And that was just kind of one of those
Speaker: fangirl moments for me, it was like, holy shit, I've been listening to this band for almost 10 years. When we started the show, I had reached out to him and said, you know, because I wanted to have breaks and be able to take, you know, that five minute, six minute break. So grab another refreshment. I like to drink, go recycle beer, whatever.
Speaker: Um, so I wanted to have music incorporated and I didn't think I was going to hear back from them, but I didn't want to play their music without permission. It was like less than five minutes. They hit me back. Absolutely, man. Just shout us out, tag us. You can play as much as our music as you want. Hell yeah. Cool. So yeah, we finally got, we, you know, it took a long time because those guys are.
Speaker: always on tour, I swear to God. They're like probably one of the hardest working musicians I've ever seen in my life because they come back from tour, they're off tour for like three weeks, they record a whole ass album and then they go back on the road for three months. When we got Matt, the lead singer, he was literally, they were leaving that night, he was on the tour bus, they were going to their next stop the next morning.
Speaker: And it was just like, okay, this is kind of surreal that this little know nothing podcast, you know, we're actually getting some names on here. Uh, even you, man, I mean, you know, you might not believe it, but this is kind of a big deal for me having you on here, you know, because as you're the guy I listened to on the radio all day long. I appreciate it. I appreciate it.
Speaker: like this is the guy that i'm like i like this dude i really like this dude and then now you're here and it's just like holy shit this is kind of it's kind of surreal i mean i like i always so with this whole bone thing like it was you know with meeting like listeners fans whatever you want to call them
Speaker: I was getting humbled a lot more when I would have random interactions with some, like I was at another job once and I was offering, I was doing samples for like Miller Lite and all this shit and I gave this guy a sample and he said something to me under his breath and I didn't hear him and I just kept handing out samples. I was all the way in Sarasota, I don't know if you know Florida like that, but it was like four cities away from me. So then I give a sample to his friend and he goes,
Speaker: you're dizzy, right? I'm like, what? Because like, no one calls me that really just unless I know you. And he's like, you're from Roger and JP shows. Like, how did you know that? He's like, I can tell with the voice and blah, blah, blah. And then it just started snowballing because I would get on air more and like people would start recognizing me. And I always knew like, if someone knows me, I'm gonna have a conversation. They know, took the time to find out who I am and appreciate me. I'm gonna have a conversation with you. So people like you,
Speaker: who are good fans and cool people and you have podcasts, I'll go check out the stuff. And if you're not a weirdo, I'm like, fuck yeah, let's do it. Let's have a, let's, let's do a show. You know what I'm saying? Cause there was another guy I've done a podcast with and same thing, but before I went on, same thing I did with you, I went and listened to some of it to make sure I'm not going on some weirdos show or, you know, something that I might not align with the best. You know what I'm saying? So, but if you're a cool people, yeah, man, let's chop it up, bro. I'll always have time for cool people. You know what I'm saying?
Speaker: so and with your podcast i think you should what you just said earlier with the guests keep doing that bro keep having them guests on because when we were killing it with the podcast yeah numbers with the with the people you bring on that's how you get new fans uh i have had random people like a friend of mine was like hey my my boy listens to your podcast i was like what what are you talking about
Speaker: How did they know about my podcast? She was like, oh, he follows some comedian and you have that comedian on and he posted it. So he listened to the show and he's a fan of it. I'm like, God, we're cool, bro. Straight network, straight network. Yeah, exactly, bro. So I'm I'm trying to get guests back in here. We've been working on the home studio and shit. So once that's up and working better, we're going to be pushing guests out all the time, all the time. Every episode, we'll have a guest like that's the best thing you could do.
Speaker: And you're kind of lucky down there where you are down there in Tampa because there's a lot of amazing and I've been down there a few times. I came down a couple years ago and I was actually on happy hour. I got a friend of mine that does the Kevin Hawley show. He hasn't done one in a while now all of a sudden he's a stand up comedian.
Speaker: A guy who comes up with us, Stan, him and his buddy Mike used to do Open Mike Live. Unfortunately, COVID kind of killed that for them because that was their whole niche. They had a home studio, so they were bringing in all this local talent, musicians and comedians.
Speaker: They were real good friends with like Rio, Paris and Cam, you know, who have since started to blow up. Obviously Cam blew up, but Rio is starting to blow up and stuff like that. So they were bringing all these guests in and hanging out with all these guests. And it's all about networking, but it's also at the same time, you want to make sure you have guests that like, if I'm going to promote you being on the show,
Speaker: At least try to return to favor like if I, you know, like you did today. I mean, you, I throw a post and you throw up a couple posts that way that not only are our fans going to get introduced to you, but your fans will be able to get introduced to, like you said, these are in, like I said, you guys are in Tampa.
Speaker: I mean, they're starting to take over the comedy scene as being one of the big spots in the country. You know, it's not, it's not in LA anymore. Tampa's becoming a huge hub for comedy and that's great for you guys. You know, since you're down there and you want to run a show where you have a lot of guests come on the show and come through because you never know when you're going to have like
Speaker: like the next Burt Chrysler that rolls through the studio. And you're going to be like, Hey, I knew, I knew him or her since back when, you know, exactly, exactly. Established relationship already, you know, like Mike and Bert, they've been friends for 20 plus years, way before Bert blew up. And now all of a sudden they've got that friendship and that, that relationship. So, you know, and, and I enjoy having guests on the show. We have fun just running the show on our own. You know, we kind of, we've,
Speaker: We went through several transformations and we're going through one now. You know, where we would just get on here and hang out. It was like, yeah, that's fun and cool. But people only want to listen to us tell the same story so many times. I mean, I got what Glitz comes from. Yeah, we got it. Yeah, we got a style. Glitz got a purpose. And a lot of times we do that for the purpose. That's the only reason why I try to stay quiet about it.
Speaker: because he knows exactly what he wants to do, and I get that. And we be having fun up here. It just gets reckless, but that's when the conversation we used to have was on the former platform. We would just start with something and run for hours. Mind you, it wasn't even that similar about beefing. It was just everybody conversating and having fun with it. That shit was priceless to me, and that's why I was guilty. I actually apologized to him more than once. He was like, no, you're fine. I said, no, because we be acting up, and me and Jeff have a good time acting a fool up here.
Speaker: We do. He comes in, we'll do a purpose. And one time I said, you know what? We're just going to run whatever he wants to do. And then we'll cut up afterwards to finish the time. And it's worked. It's crazy how many different ways this joker can have people talk over three hours, three times a week. It's ridiculous. But people enjoy it. Yeah. Yeah. That's good, bro. That's true. I like it. Yeah. So what do you think is like the next step for y 'all's show?
Speaker: I'm following his purpose because that's what he wants to do. I do my own stuff too. So I try to do things his way. I don't like going on nobody's show and throwing it off. When I first started, I was a guest or somebody else that's just having a Q and A as a Christian versus an atheist. And I was a Christian. Those are the ugliest conversations you ever wanna have. Let me be clear. Atheists and them fuckers don't care is disrespectful. But here's the kicker. They got their proof.
Speaker: They got a bunch of shit in their defense. I'm like, okay, I get it. I just know how I was raising when I was brought up in. And I can tell you this, I can tell you this, and they come with theirs. But me, I love conversating with people. They have a topic that I can engage or contribute to. I would jump in. A lot of times, sometimes I may listen to hear other people's aspects, but I try to contribute to a conversation. When I met this son of a bitch over here,
Speaker: I watched it for about a month or two because I was coming for a little bit and just watched them tripping out. I'm like, okay, they're having fun. Then they started doing top five. I'm like, shit, I'm gonna throw my top five and I had fun doing that. They were like, you want to come on? Yeah, sure. I'm here for the top five. I didn't blame him. I didn't blame him. I didn't blame him. I was just having so much damn fun with him.
Speaker: Then we just bring up the top five every once in a great while. And it's it's cool to bring up every once in a while, but we were literally doing it every week. And we just ran its course. You know what I mean? No, 100 percent. We did the same thing with the broadcast. We started running out of shit to come up with. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker: but you're right though once you're doing the same thing like this bit like yeah it's fun but after a while it does get kind of stale because we did the same thing we had like a like a tier thing where you rank like oh what's the best sports movie and we kind of have like a knockout competition of what it is we did that
Speaker: yeah and it's fun but every week you're doing it it gets kind of stale even we kind of felt it like oh man people probably tune up for this part you know so you do got to mix it up and then just bring it back once in a while one of the things i do like that you said that the christian the atheist thing being a hard talk
Speaker: That's something to see. Religion and politics are two things I don't talk about because I feel like those are two things. You'll never convince the other side to get to your side. So you're just going to alienate yourself away from an audience. You know what I'm saying? It gets emotional. And that's when I'm like, nah, you don't get emotional until they start going, trying to call you out on shit. Don't call me. Let's just drop the facts on shit and we'll go from there. It ain't that hard. Yeah. When Jeff and I started this show, I told him, I said, I got two rules, man.
Speaker: Because at the end of the day, it is what it is. Sorry, Tony. I know you don't like that. But this is my baby. This is my brain. This is my dream right after this show, and growing it, expanding it, and growing a community of other podcasters that have this, not necessarily, we don't have to have all the same style, but have the same mindset where we want to look out for one another, help each other grow, push each other, and support each other.
Speaker: But I said, no politics, no religion. Now, do we break politics rule? Yes. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely. Barely.
Speaker: Tony's more left. I won't say he's a left wing lunatic, but Tony's way on the left. Jeff's way on the right. I kind of hang out in the middle because I can see both. So sometimes I see both point of views. Sometimes both sides really pissed me off. But the three of us together, we can have a conversation.
Speaker: So we kind of we kind of do a little one, two step every once in a while with politics or a political story. But yes, are all three willing to listen to each other? And Tony said it. Oh, shit. Oh, look, I didn't think about that.
Speaker: I didn't realize that or I've said, oh damn Tony, my bad. And even Jeff, as far right wing as he is, and he really is a right wing nutbag. That guy's you're right. What's going on, Steve? What's going on, brother? Mark, you're, you're offended because you're, you're British. Jesus.
Speaker: Let's go on, Steve. So the three of us have a really good chemistry. And I think since Tony's joined over the last little over a year, a little about a year and a half, we've developed a really tight bond between the three of us that not a whole lot's off limits. And if something's going on, we're either going to hash it out or air it out on the air, or we're going to talk behind the scenes. Absolutely.
Speaker: But we definitely don't ever not talk about shit if something's bothering us. And I think that's kind of the cool thing that allows us to keep the chemistry that we have and be able to have the conversations that we have. And we do discuss a lot of, like I'm trying to bring it back around to discussing more trending news topics, more
Speaker: pop culture type shit so that the conversation definitively trending news top is absolutely conversation stays rolling. So we're not locked in on one topic for for because we do a three hour show. I mean, yeah, he was a three hour show. I got to go to bed this month. Well, or or as you're like, Jeff and I fucking Saturday night. Oh, my God. I saw Jesus. We forgot we were locked.
Speaker: Jeff and I were just sitting here just bullshitting away, talking about this, that, and the other thing, just having a good time. And I looked up and said, Jeff, we're still fucking live, bro. And he was like, oh, shit. Six hours. Jesus, bro. Six hours. Six fucking hours. There ain't no way, dog. Ain't no way.
Speaker: Yeah, but I'd like to say six hours is something major, but I have done a 24 hour stream and I've done a 32 hour stream.
Speaker: Hey, I'm with my boy Tony. Ain't no brothers doing that shit, bro. We'll give you a couple hours a week. We got dog ass shit to do. The one that I never done was a music marathon for three and a half hours. I never knew it was a music marathon. I played all the videos and I got tired. Hell yeah, guys. When I did the 24 hour one, it was 100 % accidental.
Speaker: Um, I was married at the time and my ex wife and, and my girls had come back. We were living down in South Carolina. They had come home for the week to Ohio to visit family and stuff like that. I couldn't because I had to work in the company I worked for. Yeah, I had vacation time, but it was very hard for me to take time off because it, it, one of two things had to happen either. I killed myself for the week leading up to.
Speaker: vacation or I came back and I was a week behind after vacation. So I didn't make a lot of vacation. So it was a Friday and they were gone. I came home. I was bored. I was like, fuck it. I'm going to jump on Periscope. The next thing I know it was fucking the sun was coming up. I'm still drinking. I'm still having fun. I still had, you know, a ridiculous amount of people in my life watching and they're still chatting. I was like, screw it. I'm just going to keep going until the next thing I know it was
Speaker: It was 24 hours later and I was like, yo, I gotta, I gotta get off here. I'm going to get something to eat. Um, I'm going to take me a quick nap, but I'll be, cause I usually did my show on Saturday nights at 10 o 'clock. I said, I'll be back tonight at 10 o 'clock, but I gotta go take a nap, get something to eat and hydrate. I get some water in me.
Speaker: And then the 30 plus hour one was basically the same thing that I started doing a live stream. I was on TikTok in the early afternoon. I was going through some shit. I was dealing with some shit in my head. So unfortunately for me, my my crutch has always been alcohol. I used to be a really bad alcoholic.
Speaker: And I was in a real dark place, so I just started drinking. And next thing I know, it was 32, 33 hours later, I was still alive on fucking TikTok. And I had been, I had put three Pat Daniels away, like four cases of beer. And I'm like, yo.
Speaker: I was having a good time. I was laughing. I was joking. I was just like, damn, I watched the sun go down. I watched the sun come up. I watched that bitch go back down and it's going to be coming up real soon. Geez. That's the only time I've ever done that. Yeah, right. That is wild, Doug. That's wild. So, you got your uh got Paw Patrol in the building. Is that the one that uh got into a fight with the
Speaker: That's my fucking dog right there, bro. That's chocolate, man. He's that's my ride or die right here, bro. Really loyal dog. Really loyal dog, man. I got him after the breakup because it's just something I wanted that companionship to cheer me up and that's my dog right there. That's my boy right there. Absolutely. The best companions to have, man. You know, yeah, I with those. I haven't had a dog for a few years.
Speaker: Uh, just because I didn't have time. I didn't want to do one. And when I met my now fiance and she moved in, she's got a dog and this damn dog from the first day I met her, basically claimed me as her. So she drives me crazy. She's a bit dumb, but she's an idiot too. They'll get along. My dogs leave the dog alone. She's a good dog.
Speaker: Yeah, my sister said I should get one. And then I talked to like people like Galvin. I was telling him the idea. He's like, bro, get one. Trust me, it'll help you. And I went to look at a different dog. And it was during COVID. And they were like, I didn't know this. But COVID, but they were like, we're giving away the dogs because COVID come back and they need a home. So I got him for free.
Speaker: And I only saw him on a computer. I was like, that dog was kind of dope. And I went and saw him. I was like, I'm taking this one, taking this one with me. So it was, it was me and him the whole time, dog, a hundred percent. And I tell you what, man, I don't know how many pets you've had or dogs you've had. Um, but those, those rescues, those, those, those shelter dogs, they're the best dogs you'll ever have. They're, they're, they're, they're the most, the most times they're the friendliest.
Speaker: They'll be the greatest dog you've ever had in your life. I've had, I've had a few of them and I, I, I, I tell everybody don't buy a dog from a breeder. Don't go to a pet shop. Don't go to the animal shelter. You best dog you will ever find in your life. And I always, I wouldn't have known that.
Speaker: until I got one. If I didn't have a dog and you told me that, in my head I'd be like, man, I don't know, man, I might just buy it. But you're 100 % right. The way to go is adopting them, bro. You're 100%. They say, think, shop, don't adopt. No, sorry, adopt, don't shop. Right? So I get it. I totally get it.
Speaker: Kids, shop, don't adopt. Yeah, right? But yeah, bro. So he's my dog, you know? That's why, like, right now, like, I've been living my best single life. I don't care. I don't need someone right there with me, a woman, because I got my companion shit. I'm cool with my dog. And, you know, if I need to meet the ladies, cool. Now I got the free time, and I don't have to be hankered down by one girl right now, because I did that. My ex -fiancee, I was with her
Speaker: 16 years, dog. 16 years. So I did the relationship shit, you know? Shit. Yeah, dog. I was like, yeah, bro. So after you do a long time, a long bid like that, you switch it up real quick. I just got, my divorce just got finalized to something, but it's still fucking me up. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Tried to move on.
Speaker: But me and myself, I just gotta be honest. I wasn't all the way over the 100 % that I put into the marriage. And a lot of people gotta understand about this. You gotta get past that. That's a hard phase to get over. You try to be honest with somebody else after you go 100 % with one person, you can't. It's almost something that you can do. And that's nothing against the person you try to move on with. I was with my ex -wife for 17 years. When she left, I was like, oh!
Speaker: It was like a huge weight was lifted off my chest. But at the same time, we also stayed together for several years past our expiration point because we had kids and that just made things that much worse. And we get along.
Speaker: She drives me crazy and if she fell off a cliff, I wouldn't be upset today. But we get along pretty well, we co -parent pretty well. I mean, I do have my kids full time now. But yeah, we get along pretty well, all things considered, but we stayed together way longer than we should have. So when finally, when she said she was leaving me, it was like the first couple of days was like, fuck, like this sucks. It took me almost a year.
Speaker: And then, and then it took me, it took me a couple of months to get past because the kids weren't really wanting to be around me. And I don't blame them. I was not in a good place when, when she left mentally, um, I was, I was kind of fucked. Um, and you know, so that was harder than her actually leaving was the kids not wanting to be around me for those first few months and only getting to see them limited time. Um, but outside of that, I, you know, I was good, but I mean,
Speaker: I kinda bounced around from relationship to relationship. I was engaged again and then basically went down the same road with her that I was with my ex -wife. She was basically fucking everybody but me. And then I was like, fuck it, I'm done. I'm not doing this shit no more. I told these guys, I'm gonna be fucking single. I don't care about women, nothing, blah, blah, blah. And then my fiance came into my life and it was like, all right, now I realize
Speaker: I had to make that one last mistake that I did ghost her before she yells out from the bathroom at me. I didn't ghost her. And then we reconnected, but it was like, all right, okay. I had to make that one last mistake. She had to make that one last mistake to finally solidify. This is where we're supposed to be. So now I got, now I think, you know, now I,
Speaker: I think I finally got through all my bullshit. Hopefully she's got through all her bullshit. We found, we each found that one and she's stuck with me now because I told her the only other option is buried in the backyard and me moving to Cancun. I definitely feel that. I mean, my shit was definitely a bad one too. It took me more than a year to get over mine.
Speaker: Cause when we separated for one, she broke up with me when I was on air dog, I was on SPK show and she sent me a text like it's like we've run this course it's over. And I'm like, I'm like, I remember like,
Speaker: In the movies, you know, when you like hear the type of sound, it was like that. Like it was like a flash bang went off and I couldn't hear anything anyone was saying. I was just like, bitch, what on air you're doing this to me? And shit like that. My lawyer called me, my lawyer said the divorce was finalized. I was like, okay, thank you. And I said, it was like 10 seconds. My soul dropped. Yeah, dog. We have been separated about a year and a half, almost already. I want to say,
Speaker: Almost, it was about two years. But there was something still there for her. I ain't gonna lie. We had to go out. I was taking my youngest back to her, but her and her daughter, my stepdaughter, they was at a dinner. They were like, we're gonna go eat. Y 'all come up here. We're like, okay, cool. So we went up there, and we could still trip out, act out, and bug out. But I'm kind of restricted on how free and fun I was with her. So I still got a little bit of a block, and I still got pain. I ain't gonna lie. But I went, I literally moved here for her. I literally got this job for her.
Speaker: I did all this shit because the one thing I promised if I was to ever get married, I'm going to have my shit together and we ain't going to have anything to worry about. We didn't have no real issues except how much money we spent. That was pretty much it. I was in place. I was at, I was where I've been working to be all my life. So to lose that, you know, you can't promise that with anybody else after you try once.
Speaker: I mean, I was actually at a point, I was at one point, I was calling an ex's and apologizing them for how I treated their asses. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? I feel that. I mean, you're into you as much as you're into anybody else, and think about that shit. You gotta be like, I'm in history. I'm in history. So it was wearing me out, man. Next month will be three years since we separated.
Speaker: When he was married, we separate after the seven and a half EMR. We didn't even hit the EMR. And I was told people, whenever you get out relationship, take half the time you was in a relationship to recover, which is kind of what I've been trying to do. And I still go through shit. I can make people hear me there, but what you're seeing out here with these, and I'm going to go ahead and say this for both genders. The motherfuckers you meet right now, all they want is what they can get out of you and how much you're going to do for them.
Speaker: They are two separate things. So you almost can't trust them right now. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm gonna talk to the heterosexual, the homosexual, the pansexual, the bisexual, the all the multi -sexual motherfuckers and my head fellow, fellow heterosexuals. You better call a bunch of your exes that fix that apology and go back with them because you try with somebody new motherfucker. Well, and
Speaker: And like you said, Tony, but I think that's the difference between, you know, I think that's why I, I reacted the way that I did when, when, when my ex wife left and we finally separated, we had both checked out. We had both checked out on our marriage a long time ago. We were kids, but you know, up, up until I met my fiance now, up until I met Nikki, I never had that partner.
Speaker: who actually was a real partner, who wanted to grow together and actually create a life together. It was, oh, what are you going to bring to the table? What am I going to bring to the table? Where now it is so weird for me, I can't speak for her, but it's so weird for me to have that, like for real fucking partner. Yes. I will go say that. You got a partner. Yes. Life together, growing together. Um,
Speaker: And, you know, where she slips and stumbles, I pick up where I slip and stumble. She's right there. I got your back. It's like a real, let me know when you finish. I want to jump in on that. So I think that's where, where my mindset's a little bit different now with her than what it was in previous relationships. I was in where now it's like, cause you know what you deserve now and what to expect now. And that was the other thing. And the last two relationships I was in, I learned.
Speaker: Unfortunately, the hard way that it's okay for me to know what I want. It's okay for me to know what's good for me. And it's okay to voice that and express that and say, this is what I want, this is what I'm looking for, this is what I deserve. And she does the same. And right there, we meet right in the middle and it's like, all right, all right, I gotta bend a little bit for this, you gotta bend a little bit. I mean, I'm a Cleveland Browns fan, she's a Steelers fan.
Speaker: I can't fix that. She had terrible feelings. But you're right, Doug. One of the things you learned, too, is you can be in love, but you're not happy. And that's something people don't realize. You can be in love and still not be happy. And that's kind of what it was.
Speaker: Yeah, dog. And that's what happened to me at the end. Like, I was in love with my ex -fiancee. Yeah, dog. People don't get that. Like, you could be in love. They're not happy, bro. I was in love with my ex -fiancee before she left. Oh, man. He dropped out real quick. But I was not happy. I was not happy at the end. So it was a bad breakup, and it broke me? Go ahead. You could be in love and not happy. That's some real shit, because you could love a motherfucker that don't love you back. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker: that's kind of what it was yeah motherfuckers who ain't thinking about us but we'll do anything to get a shot at them and then try to push and people will feel the same way about you yeah yeah it's very heavy shit what i wanted to say about looking i apologize for cutting you off he was on the path of destruction and working it so was she yeah and their their parallels aren't crossing
Speaker: negatively, if you will. And I see it, I see that happening. I was cracking her, I said, man, this shit ain't gonna last three months. This shit ain't gonna last four months. This shit ain't gonna last six months. I was counting down against them. And I'm gonna pick on the boyfriend. I think they'll use my count down against me. And they just doing this shit to piss me off. So fuck the boyfriend. They happy as fuck. They happy as fuck. They are. And I'm happy for him, man. I know he wants to have somebody to be happy with. And she does too. That's it.
Speaker: Yeah, that's it. They work in everything and they have it fun. It's not a job. A lot of relationships today, we got to work to stay together. We got to work to be together. There's not really a whole lot of fun and not a whole lot of comfortability with it. They are comfortable. I am happy for them straight up.
Speaker: That's what they got to be, bro. Yeah. Yeah. And a lot of us are assholes, male and female. I'm going to go ahead and say we assholes on how we do shit. You can't be that way when you're with somebody. Y 'all got to come home. Y 'all got to think responsibilities. Y 'all got to think children. Y 'all got to plan future. That's what I do with my work. I'm going to work every day. I'm going to work every day. So when you're going to relax, I'm not. We got shit to do.
Speaker: We plan on having a baby. We plan on getting a house. We plan on having new cars. We plan on maintaining our careers. Then we got to also maintain what we accomplish. That was my whole mindset. My marriage, my happiness was coming home every day and I have nothing to worry about somebody to trust. Everything else was bullshit. A lot of people don't do that in their marriages. They want to see what else they can do. They want to try and do this. They want to try and do that. You get weak, man. I'll be here all day talking about this shit.
Speaker: Yeah, no, with my ex, bro, like I did everything I like when I was living here, I sacrificed having my own place, because she was finishing her masters. And I was like, all right, I'll pay your rent and our shit there. So it's still there. And you could live comfortably. And I'll stay with my parents. And I'll figure shit out a sacrifice.
Speaker: We got this joint account. We separated. She cleared my joint account or joint account. She took all the shit. You know, like there was a lot of shit. Yeah. And it was she was one of those things like the punch out. You talked about the punch out. Like I told her I was like your office school this week. I'm going to fly you out. Come to this punch out. She didn't want to come out there for that. I was like, Mitch, you don't want to support me the fuck. So near the end of it, I wasn't happy. Like I said, and I realized, like, yeah, I'm in love with this girl, but I'm not happy anymore.
Speaker: So when she hit me with the breakup, it broke me. But I needed that. And I didn't learn that until the therapy that like all this shit were like, that was the best thing to happen to you, dog. It was the lowest moment and you were going through it. You were like the darkest part of your life. But it was needed, dog, because now you know what you deserve. And now it's like, and I say this all the time now, and I've been posting this like today, like my ex now,
Speaker: she could not afford me dog. She could not, she would never get this time now. You know what I'm saying? Like she decided to like play the strong card and she wanted to put roles on it and want to make me look like a villain. And that didn't go well with us and we ended bad. And now it's like, you lost that. Exactly. And I was like, now I know like, you'll never get this back now. And you're not going to get what you had with me no matter where you go. You might get pieces of it.
Speaker: but you ain't gonna get the whole thing that I gave you. You're gonna regret it one day, and guess who's not gonna be there to let you cry on their shoulder? Because I want the better shit, you know what I'm saying? And that's why, like, Calton and them, they always talk about, like, the boats and shit. I show the fuck off with the bitches I be with now, you know what I'm saying? Because I want... A lot of women are comfortable being the ones... Keeps to know, like, good. Yeah, exactly, dog. So...
Speaker: It's a different. It's a different. It's like being the one that the women want to show off to some of us like this shit. I came from. Oh, no. And that's that's one of the many things that, you know, that, you know, I love about making my fiance. She she don't hesitate, man. She she does not hesitate to show me off. And I ain't nothing special to show off. I'm just a big fucking white Sasquatch. You're the first of the show off. Silverback girl, you know, she went.
Speaker: shows me how she she proud to tell everybody this is my man. This is my man. Yeah. That's how it's supposed to be. That's how it's supposed to be. That's a long way, bro. I mean, it really does because I ain't never had that before. I ain't never had anybody that that showed me off. I was just like, oh, yeah, that's my that's my boy. Oh, yeah. You won't climb down like a motherfucker. Yeah. What?
Speaker: I don't have kids right now, but I know like I kind of want kids for sure. It doesn't happen. It doesn't happen. But for me, I know when I 35 35 now, so I still got some time to get it. Yeah, you were near 20. But now I know. And it'll change you as a man. When you become a Yeah, yeah, for sure. Man, it is one of the things I know for sure.
Speaker: is what so my my ex fiance she was my high school sweetheart you know i'm saying we started dating when i was 11th grade grew up one thing i'm gonna tell my kids whether it's a girl or boy
Speaker: don't fall in love with someone in high school and think that's your life now. Go out and spread your wings because you start putting up with shit because you're growing together and that might not be the person that's right for you. Like me now, I know my ex is not like what I want in life. You know what I'm saying? But I put up with it because we were growing together and we started going in a different path and that's why it didn't work because she wasn't right for me. I know what I deserve now and I know what I want.
Speaker: And that's only because I broke away from that. You got to break away from the things that feel safe and not be scared. You got to go spread the motherfucking wings and know what's best for you. A lot of a lot of people, they get into a relationship and they and they become contempt or not contempt, but content that they feel the comfort, they feel a sense of safety. And even though, like you said, you was in love and I know I've been there and I can't speak for Tony D.
Speaker: I've been in love, but I wasn't happy. You know what I mean? But you, you get kind of, you get kind of locked in like, okay, I'm good and I'm comfortable. This is cool. This is just everything. You know, I don't want to rock the boat, but then you also, at the same time, you kind of find yourself losing who you are. Yeah. Yeah. For sure. In the, in the last year or so, I have
Speaker: come out like the real me has come out where like before if I went out somewhere like if I was with somebody that I'd go out and we was at the bar or something like that I would start to let a little bit because I'm a big personality like I'm a big personality I got a big voice I'm when I'm at the bar you know I'm not a small dude I stand out you know when I go to the bar but I'm friendly as fuck to everybody you know I've never gone to a bar
Speaker: and look for a fight. I go and I'm like, I'm making 300 new friends tonight. You know what I mean? You're looking to have a good time to hang out with people. That's all of this. And there's always been when I've been in relationships that as soon as that starts to come out, I got to I got to rein it in with Nikki. She's just like.
Speaker: off the chain, okay. And she loves it. She says back and laughs at me. She runs over and she'll dance with me. She'll hang out with me. I'll come and introduce all 300 of my new best friends to her. She's looking like, yeah, that's, he's mine. I love him.
Speaker: It's cool to kinda, for the first time in close to 20 years, get to be me again and not, if I get a little bit too drunk and I act a little bit too foolish the next morning or when we wake up, she's not gonna be shitty with me. She won't be in front of me, vice versa. She ties one off a little bit too much and she's acting a little crazy. I ain't gonna be mad at her. I ain't gonna be shitty with her. I'm glad you had a good time. I'm glad you had fun.
Speaker: That's all I'm worried about. I'm gonna make fun of you. Cause you had too much tequila, but, but you know, it's, it's not, you know, it's nice to have that now and realize, Oh shit. I put up with a lot of shit for a lot of years. And now it's like, this is kind of freeing and it allows it's like, this is me. And in all honesty, you know, with it, as far as the show goes, it's, it's made me better on this show in the last year.
Speaker: Because I am, I'm not afraid to be myself. I'm not afraid to act a damn fool on this show and really let my personality fly. Because I know she's not gonna be sitting out in the living room going, well, why the fuck did you say that? Well, she's not giving you any restrictions. Like she was the other night. Saturday night we had Steven Jarvis on here from the Steven Jarvis and Friends podcast. And I was back, we was cracking up.
Speaker: And I went out there, I said, this show is going way better. Because I didn't know what to expect from Steven. I thought he was going to be a little bit more laid back, a little bit more timid. And he came in just guns a -blazing. I mean, backstage, he came right in, like, just ready to roll. I was back here rolling. He was like, I can't. I was laughing. I said, yeah, we're having a blast. So that's comforting. And it's nice. And it's happening.
Speaker: like that's wow words are hard it's just a good feeling I kind of lost I kind of derailed it happens but you're right bro a lot of that stuff like like I was fooling myself with my ex it would be like
Speaker: Okay, I'm an extrovert. I'm all this shit. She's the opposite. That's what I need. I need the balance. I need the end to the end. But that's not true. It was one of the things I was just convincing myself. It's kind of like you read a horoscope and you convince that works for you. You know what I'm saying? Like you're tricking yourself to making it think it works, but it might not. So my thing is like I need someone who's outgoing. I need someone who has matches my energy. And one of the things my ex did a big thing was with the bone, she held my career back.
Speaker: She wouldn't let me go on this show because she's like, I don't like the way they do things. I'm like, you understand this is like radio. It's a bit sometimes. She's like, I still, I don't like it. Blah, blah, blah. This and that. She's like, she thought she thought the whole bone staff was just racist. And I was crazy to even try to talk on that. I'm like, don't make me go there with these motherfuckers.
Speaker: Yeah, right. That's actually what I was going to say. I remember when you went through your breakup and stuff like that. And I remember you were previously on air. I mean, even when Roger and JP kind of started to give you that first opportunity to be on the air more, you were a little bit more, you were kind of held back. You were kind of restricted a little bit. But then, you know, after
Speaker: Yeah, again, I am a fan. I literally I listen from from 615 in the morning when I wake up until two o 'clock. I'm not the biggest fan of Drew Garabo. I think he's kind of douche, but I do like John.
Speaker: But I've never been a big fan of Drew, but I listened from 6 .15 when I wake up in the morning until two o 'clock. And I still listen to Drew from time to time. I'm just not the biggest fan. And then if I'm out and about during Mo's show, I'll listen to it. But usually I'm home and I'm done for the day and I'm working on this shit or doing this show.
Speaker: But I've seen that transformation in you from when you were engaged to now, and it's like, oh, okay, here's Dizzy's, it's full Dizzy. He's got his throttle, no fucks to give, and this is awesome. And I think that's, again, that leads to all those opportunities that now you're getting. You've got the after show, which, and as a guy who worked at the bone, and I'm just speaking as a fan,
Speaker: I know Carmen wasn't happy. She didn't like doing it, but she was kind of stuck doing it. Yeah. She wanted, I mean, that was huge for you. But now we get to see that, that dizzy personality, that, that fun, carefree, nothing's holding you back. You're going to, and that's cool. And that's going to open up all those doors. So yeah, I mean, when you're, when you're able to be yourself, whether you're in a relationship or not, it makes a world of difference at the end of the day.
Speaker: Just to get people to find their relationships and marriages. Be able to be themselves and have somebody to be happy right alongside with them. That's paradise. People do not have that.
Speaker: Shit, I still sometimes I have relationship PTSD because, you know, there'll be nights where I'll even even this past Friday night, I actually I saw these guys. I was up until two thirty posted new episodes. And I fell asleep on the couch. And Nick, Nicki woke me up when I was like, oh, I'm done. I finally got them all posted. All right. We can go to bed. And she's like, why don't we go live on TikTok? And I was like,
Speaker: OK. Right. The next thing I knew, the fucking sun was coming up. Jesus. Going hard again. Yeah. Yeah. And there was a part of me that when I woke up Saturday afternoon, when we woke up Saturday afternoon, there was a part of me that was like shit. I'm going to be in trouble, even though she was with me the whole time. So it's like that that that that post or past relationship PTSD, like I know I didn't do anything wrong, but there was a part of it was like,
Speaker: I'm about to get yelled at. She's gonna be mad at me. We just got up and was like, fuck, it's 2 .30. We sucked the whole ass. We were gonna go to the beach Saturday and everything. It was just like that well.
Speaker: Just day to hell. Yep, I feel that dog. I feel that bro. And for sure, once I left this thing, like you said, I was kind of a little more filtered when I first started. Because when I would get off a shift or something, the odd chance she listened, she'd always have notes like I don't like how you said this on it or that on there or this on there. So it was like filtered, filtered, filtered, filtered, filtered.
Speaker: And it was starting to fuck with me, dog. And it got to the point to where she would try to change things about like, I don't like to do smoke weed. Okay, you know me my whole time. And I've always smoked weed. Basically, what the fuck is it? Why is it a problem now? You're nitpicking on every little thing and trying to change me. And that wasn't working. And
Speaker: The thing she was trying to change about you was to better your image when you were broadcasting or was it about you as a person? Because sometimes what they change about us, and I've learned this, what they're trying to change about us, our loved ones, they don't want us to look ridiculous online. Do you ever feel that way? Have you ever looked like that from that perspective? I try to at times, but
Speaker: No one else agreed with the shit she would say, even like my fam and shit like my parents and shit. We'd be like, no, like, I don't know why you're listening to her. Got you. So you have more support than criticism. I got to know. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. You also have to understand that when he when he was on these other shows.
Speaker: Everybody else was acting up and acting. And these are guys who, you know, uh, couch has been in the, in the game since the early nineties, uh, Galvin around for a long time on my culture show. Roger and JP have been together for what? 18 years, 17 years, something like that. So they've been, they've been acting out for years ago. Mo Mo has always been Mo Mo always, whether you love them or hate them, they're, Mo is not going to be anything other than Mo. So these are guys that were acting out and acted and, and, and, and, and,
Speaker: Correct me if I'm wrong, Dizzy, but you were kind of going with the flow and not necessarily in a negative light, but you were falling in line. You were going with the flow. You weren't doing anything that they were doing or they weren't doing.
Speaker: out in left field all by yourself acting crazy where, you know, my ex fiancee used to do that when we would do this show. As soon as we would end the show, she would blow me up. I can't believe you say that. I can't believe this. Why are you doing that? So then it was hurting the show because then I had to censor myself. So I kind of feel what this is saying with kind of being, Paul Spade's major getting censored.
Speaker: But sometimes our critics, and even like I said, our loved ones, they're watching out for us when they tell us what's going on.
Speaker: Any and everybody that I've ever dealt with, the people like, why are you doing this? Listen, I'm having fun doing a hobby or something I've been looking forward to do since I was a teenager. We got to let some shit slide. We got to take some blows. It's not always going to be, everything's perfect. Even when I do my own shit, I'll be a criticism because I do this shit with him. I do two other shows, two other people, and then I'll do my own thing. I could be up here seven days a week, no problem. Just broadcast it for no reason, hour, two hours off the rep.
Speaker: But everybody's always, I got people, a lot, my main support, I listen to them on purpose. I try to fix myself according to them. But then I also got people, do your own thing, don't worry about it. What we don't like somebody else may. And there's probably gonna be more of them because we don't, there's not a large number of us. And I really don't have a lot of viewers, but I listen to them because they're my main viewers. I'm always trying to keep my core face. As much as I wanna expand, I don't wanna lose my core. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah, hell yeah, dog. I get that, bro.
Speaker: Yeah, what it came from with her, it was just she was trying to mold me into exactly what she wanted. No, it didn't matter what I wanted, what was good for me. It's this is the man I want exactly this way. And if you don't do it, we're gonna have problems. And that wasn't cool. And I was starting to push back. And she wasn't liking that. So that's a lot what it came from.
Speaker: Yeah. I mean, like way back when I was with her, if you if someone would have been like, yo, you're going to host a show from 10 to 11 a .m. on the bone, I'd be like, no, I'm never going to fucking be able to do that. But once I broke up with her and I was able to be dizzy, just unfiltered, who the fuck I am, it started showing, you know, and I started getting more opportunities, more shows wanting me on, get more talking time, get little subjects to do with you instead of somebody else. Yeah.
Speaker: They got it. They're like, oh, this is what we've been missing. And a lot of people like when I was with her and even when I broke up, they're like, she never seemed right for you. I knew you were in love, but she didn't seem right for you. You deserved something different than that. And I'm like, you right, you right. But you know, love will blind you, you know? Love will blind you, bro. Amen to that shit. Yeah, that's what we need glasses to this day. You know what I'm saying?
Speaker: Yeah. So I got five more minutes dog. And then I got to bounce, but I'm having fun. So we got to do this again as well. You know what I'm saying? Um, I do have to apologize. Monday nights, uh, Tony and I have a tendency to, uh, we get a little bit, we get a little, we get a little real. We get a little bit deeper. It's typically Monday nights or just Tony and I, um,
Speaker: And we might start out one way, but then we start to get a little bit deeper. We start to have a little bit more meaningful type conversations, not us just acting foolish and acting crazy. But it's cool, man, because you've said multiple times on here, and I gotta give you your
Speaker: You, I gotta give you a shout out. I gotta give you praise on this man. Um, especially since you're 35, you're, you're kind of close to that generation where, where same generation as me, Tony was born in 1882. I'll be 42 in October. Don't tell my fiance. She thinks I'm 21. But, um, you know, we were brought up in a generation and, and, and it might be different for you too, because you, you are, I mean,
Speaker: Congratulations on your American citizenship, by the way. I know you got that. Wow. But, you know, you grew up in Canada and I believe you said your, your, your family's, and I might get this wrong. Trinidadian? Trinidadian? Yep. Trinidadian was good. So, you know, you grow up, what's going on, Chris? You grow up with, with, with men in your life, father figures, uncles, grandfathers, whatever. And I know it was the same for me and probably the same thing for Tony. You're not, you're,
Speaker: You're not allowed to show emotion. Men don't cry, men don't show emotion, men don't do this, don't do that. As a dad of a son, I chitchat with him quite a bit, and hey, what's going on? You feeling okay? You all right? The fact, and we've talked, and trust me, I've opened up more on this show than I ever would have imagined I would.
Speaker: people get to kind of see a different light of me. So I got to give you praise on the fact that you out of nowhere, I mean, not even prompted or anything like that. You've said multiple times, you went to therapy, you were seeing a therapist and you had discussions and stuff like that, which is really cool. And you mentioned the fact of, you know, you would love to be a dad if the opportunity arises for you to be a dad. If you had a boy, would you try to
Speaker: change that mentality that like for me, like I said, it was ingrained in me. I'm from the country. I was told real men don't cry, real men don't show their emotions. We work, we bust our asses, we provide, we protect, we do this, we do that. If you had a son, even a daughter, I mean, I hope you don't have a daughter. I have two of them and oh my God.
Speaker: They are an emotional fuckery. What was my dance partner? Fuck that. That's Tony's dance partner. They come on here, she's here. They interrupt the whole last conversation for them two to dance. But if the opportunity was there for you to have children,
Speaker: and to have a boy, would you take that opportunity to try to correct what may or may not have been instilled into you and let him know, Hey, it's okay to, to show your emotions. It doesn't make you any less of a man or anything like that. You know, you're, you're going to be a man no matter what the lack of emotions doesn't make you any less, or that too much emotion doesn't make you any less of a man. Would you kind of start instilling that in the, into your, into your son?
Speaker: uh well one of the things i kind of mentioned on here and you you touched on it is like i've been coaching forever forever i started coaching when i was 15 and i'm still doing it so half of my more than half of my life i've been coaching uh it's been coed when i was first starting because my parents owned a league and it was coed so blah blah blah but even now now i'm coaching the same boys for the same three seasons now and uh
Speaker: They're like, they're like my sons. You know what I'm saying? I try to teach them shit. When we had our first season as a team and we lost a big tournament and they were like crying and shit, they were like afraid to cry. I'm like, bro, you got to be able to cry. I was like part of being a man is being able to show those emotions, not hide them. You got to let it flow because we're all human, bro. You're going to make mistakes. You're going to fuck up. You got to learn from them. So it's OK to cry. It doesn't make you any less of a man. And I've known some of the toughest motherfuckers in the world. And I've seen them cry.
Speaker: Yeah, tell yourself the crowd around you. Yeah. Come on. Come on. Because I ain't going to shame you. The rest of the world, but I'm not. So you get it out around me. And you go back out there and you face the world like you're supposed to by the bloodline.
Speaker: Yeah, exactly. You got to be able to cry. You got to be able to let your guard down. But you also got to be able to embrace the love and shit like, like my brother, like I said, he was my best friend. Every time we talked, we hung up. I love you, bro. I love you too, man. You can't be afraid to do that shit, bro. Because you got to be able to show those emotions and stuff as a man, because that's what it takes. So for me as a
Speaker: as a father, when I become one, there's a lot of things that like my dad did that I don't think were the greatest things that I'm a change for sure. But also just learning from what I went through in life about like relationships, work ethic, you know, any maturity, education, experience all of that shit thing with women and shit, because I've been through dark times, like I don't say too much on air, because some listeners are just assholes, they'll weaponize shit you say,
Speaker: Yeah. You know what I'm saying? But I'm not afraid to say it. I've said it was on my podcast and I'll even say it now with you guys. When I went through that bad breakup, I was Baker acted. I didn't know what to do. My life was just like,
Speaker: fucking hit a wall remember I lost my girl lost this investment fucking the radio shit wasn't going the greatest I didn't know what to do and like in my head I was like well my best friend my brother he took his life that's what I'm supposed to do I'm supposed to be just gone dog and I hit the wall and that's why I was Baker acted I had therapists way before I even got the Baker acted
Speaker: but when i was sitting there and it was during covid so when i got baker acted and no one on it not not that many people on air know i think the only people who know on air are drew garabbo mike calton and uh spk only threw that no on air but um and john brennan obviously because i had to call him when i was literally getting arrested by the cops they i'd be i gotta call my job bro they're gonna fire me
Speaker: but I was in there during COVID and I couldn't have visitors so I was in there alone with my thoughts and like the screams of crazy people blah blah blah and it took me being there and like being able to call like my cousin Jojo and shit and like him telling me like dog this is like she doesn't care like you hit rock bottom and she she doesn't she didn't even call your parents she knows what's happening right now she didn't call your parents I was like he's like all you got is like your family you and like
Speaker: people like me dog so he's like embrace it and forget about the bullshit and that really like clicked with me in that moment i was like bro i'm never gonna be this low again no one will ever make me feel this way whether it's a woman a person a listener whoever the fuck like i'm going to do better things i'm never gonna feel this way again because like i hit it well when i was fucking going through it like you would see me and i'd be smiling as soon as i'm gone
Speaker: depressed, not talking to anyone, not wanting to go to the showers, not wanting to change, not wanting to just alone in my thoughts and thoughts will control you. You know what I'm saying? So I was fucking low and I'm glad. I'm a, I'm a, that's been one of my biggest problems. I don't, I don't have a, um, a very big circle of friends on purpose because I've been burned so many times. You know, I joke on here that
Speaker: that I'm down to three family members. I got two of my sisters and my broasters are the only ones that I actually talk to anymore. Um, but I've whittled them down on purpose because you know, I've learned and I've had some very dark times more times than I'd like to count. And you know, there's been a couple of times where, um, for whatever reason,
Speaker: I'm still here. I've not only contemplated, but attempted suicide and you know, and it didn't, it didn't, it didn't work. Thankfully, uh, obviously, but first and foremost, uh, hell's got a restraining order on you and you know, you ain't getting the right, right. We're going to keep you alive. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker: But I haven't had those people to go to. And that was always my safe zone, was to do my live streams. It was always my escape, whether it be Paris or Atlanta. Absolutely. And that goes for a lot of us, even when there's no house. I tell people a lot of good times, y 'all don't realize how many lives you saved, and I could damn near save my home.
Speaker: I want to tell you this, the other platform we was on, it would literally be eight to 10 people, three, four hours to shoot no fucking reason whatsoever. That was the most restless shit to me at that time because I wasn't going anywhere due to COVID. Then I couldn't afford it because of the separation of the shit I was trying to maintain.
Speaker: So to have people, since I will say multicultural, cross -continental, global, who were not only going through what I was going through, but were willing to talk about the same topics that I was willing to talk about, who was telling me shit I didn't realize wasn't on the news. That shit was so fucking priceless, man. And I'm guilty of trying to hang around that community, staying around them, but I always tell them, y 'all don't know how much y 'all saved me, because I've already had a couple of them tell me how many times I've saved them.
Speaker: When you do your podcast yourself, that's what people need. People need you to be you because you will enlighten a motherfucker without even knowing it.
Speaker: And without even being an asshole, just by carrying a decent rational conversation and not arguing like they do on all these other fucking platforms, which y 'all look stupid as fuck. I'm going to tell y 'all right now. Y 'all always be like that in a goddamn argument. You don't know how to talk to nobody unless you're starting shit, which means you suck in the first fucking place. That's why you're fucking alone. So stop being that way. I put that shit out there. I don't give a fuck. I'm up here talking to myself. I'm listening.
Speaker: I might drop a comment in. I might drop a fact in. I might check what you said, not being disrespectful, but if you read it this way, this is what I read. Now tell me which one you think is the best or which one looks more rational or compared to notes. I have fun with that shit. That's why I'll be at this much. And if I could pass anything on to you all, y 'all don't need to listen to me or whatever. When you have your conversation that people come in with their aspects, everybody's always Google checking each other.
Speaker: Don't do it to be an asshole. Do it, one, to contribute to the conversation, two, to make sure that the facts we gotta put out there, because what we do up here ain't going nowhere, even when we're acting an ass. God help us all. I feel that, dawg. I feel that. That's real shit, man. That's real shit. I ain't gonna hold you. You said you had five minutes, man. Big up's good meeting you. I just followed you on YouTube and Twitter. So I'll be seeing y 'all when I can.
Speaker: I guess so, bro. It's been an honor with y 'all, man. It's definitely fun. You know, I wouldn't be talking this type of stuff unless I trusted y 'all and thought y 'all were good people and we'd have a good conversation. So I'm glad, you know, we were able to chop it up and have some good conversation. And I think I thought, you know, this was dope. I found out a lot about y 'all too, man, that I didn't know. And I'm glad about it. You know, you never, like I said, you never know what people are going through. It's dope to hear y 'all's story and where y 'all are at now with this show. And just as people, dog,
Speaker: He's surprised I made it this long. I'm surprised I stuck around this fucking long. I got here episode eight. I'm honest. You know, no shade on Jeff. I love Jeff to death. Like you said, Diz, you know, you got to be able to tell your boys. Jeff and I, we in this show, every time we in this show, whether it's on air or off air, we tell each other we love each other.
Speaker: If we're having a phone call before we hang out, love you, bro. Love you, man. We're just messaging and where our conversation ends. Amen. Love you. There's no, now Tony, I'll tell Tony, I love him and he gets weird and leaves the camera. You're real weird enough up there. Yeah. Jeff and I have that relationship. You know, I've got a guy that I grew up with, I mean, literally.
Speaker: his, our grandfathers go back. So we're like third generation. We've been knowing each other. We don't hang out a lot. We don't talk a whole lot, but sometimes he'll just hit me up. Hey man, just want to tell you, I love you. I'm thinking about you. How's everything or I'll do the vice versa. Um, I got another friend of mine. It weirds him out, but you know, when we're together, he's him and his wife are the Godparents of all three of my kids. And I'm like,
Speaker: And he was like, hey, I love you man. You should be able to do that, dog. Like I get, like if you're in your teenage years and you're like, man, I'm not saying that shit, bro. But as a man, you guys like, if I tell you I love you, you know, I'm not saying I'm trying to fuck you, dog. You know, you're my boy, dog. You know what I'm saying? I got your back. And anyone who knows me, like knows me, knows I'm a loyal motherfucker, bro. I got your back no matter what. So if I got love for you, you deserve it, bro. That means,
Speaker: if we're in a fight like you're about to get jumped, we both get and jump now because I'm going down. Funny. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, that's the cool. I mean, so I think I need to get a test of my loyalty. I mean, I know it's kind of it's kind of corny and cheesy looking on the outside, but a very good friend of both mine and Tony, he hosts the Sunday Night Smoke podcast. I'm a big person. He sent me this. This is a replica belt. And that's pretty fucking dope.
Speaker: I'm a huge Stone Cold fan, but I had his back when nobody else had his back. Tony had his back with nobody else. You know, and he was like, I just want to thank y 'all. I gotta. Yes, I do have a yes. Oh man, Sunday Night Small podcast. Nice field NITE. He looked out we we I've gone to New York sometimes I'm originally from Queens. And when I will go up there for family and I will be in Brooklyn. He will come out there and highlight me.
Speaker: I gotta put him on the map as one of the homies for real. And it was crazy. And Glick, I apologize for cutting you off. I met him through another guy named Ted Hicks. He does a podcast too. And then there's another guy named True Armor. All three of them are homeboys. All three of them grew up together. They are originally from the neighborhood I was born in when I was in New York. We never knew each other, but we met up here. That's what I'm saying. How much of this shit winds up being priceless, man?
Speaker: Yeah. I do my fans for my broadcast. They all come in. We'll sit there and chop it up. Like we all knew each other forever. People thought me and Glint known each other over a decade. Like, no, we just met this motherfucker. We've only been knowing each other for like two years. It's been about two years. We've known each other for one year. Yeah. We've been broadcasting for a little over a year. We've been broadcasting together, but yeah, we've been knowing each other for about two years now.
Speaker: I'm loyal to a default at points. If I consider you one of my people, shit, if it's me and you versus 300, we're going down swinging, bro.
Speaker: No, like Tony said, I don't want to hold you up, man. If you got to go, I do appreciate you being on here. The door is always open, brother. To be 100 % honest with you, obviously, we're going to stay in touch. We're going to shoot this shit anytime you want to come up. We're here Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. You let me know. The door is absolutely 100 % open for you anytime. Before you take off, though, let everybody know where they can find you at on all the social medias, where they can listen to you at.
Speaker: five days a week, whatever, where they can find all that stuff. Okay. Well, uh, starting from the top, we'll go with the bone, you know, first off and foremost, my people's, uh, I post the after show the mic out to after show 10 to 11 AM every weekday. And then I follow that right into the Roger and JP show. You can hear me on that usually from 11 AM to 2 PM.
Speaker: And then sometimes I do the two -a -days dog, I'll leave and I'll go back to St. Pete and I'll work the Cat Named Mo Show 6 to 8 p .m. Other than that, you can listen to me every Thursday on the Lazy Ass Podcast. We always change the times. You guys know it, obviously. It doesn't always go as planned.
Speaker: But you can definitely hear me on there. Follow me on any platform at Dizzy from there. Find me on there. Holler at me. Let's have a conversation. I'm always down to laugh, joke, have a good time. And I had a great time with you guys, Blake and Tony. Y 'all were cool people, man. We'll definitely do this again. Maybe in the next couple of weeks or something. Dizzy from there.
Speaker: Yeah. Well, oh, hell no. I ain't taking nobody else wrong for me. I'm letting me know. It's taking your job.
Speaker: Also, I know he said it earlier, he didn't say it now. I'm gonna say it. Get that link up there so people can find it relatively easy. Go nominate. I don't know how many times I can nominate you guys, but I feel like I've nominated you guys like seven million times. The Bay, which is Tampa Bay does best of the Bay. It's podcast, it's radio shows, it's restaurants, it's music comedians.
Speaker: Anything that's going on in Tampa Bay that's part of the best of the Bay get in there nominate the lazy ass podcast Hill Maybe next year. I'm gonna put us up there for a nomination The bar set real low for podcast I'm just saying Next time we do this show I don't have the time obviously right now But I have to tell you the story on how we got banned from best of the bay for a couple years, bro
Speaker: I definitely want to have you back on man. I want to have you on here. Maybe not necessarily in so much of a of a serious night, but you know, it's cool. Like you said, you know, I got to learn a lot about you that obviously you listening to you on the show. I've watched you grow in that aspect and I'm very proud of you man. I want nothing but the best. I'm excited for your future brother.
Speaker: But watching you grow and now knowing a little bit more of the backstory, it makes so much more sense as a fan on the outside, looking in, it makes so much more sense. You kind of pulled the curtain back, um, which, which is awesome. And in it, that's, I have so much more respect for you than what I already had for you. So that's cool, man. You're doing what you're doing. Keep growing.
Speaker: Keep rocking it out. Keep claiming you're Mike Kauta on the cruises. Hopefully one year I want to get down there. I would love to get down there for Mike Kauta cruise. I'd love to get back down to Tampa again. If I do get down there. It's on my book. It's on my list of one of the season.
Speaker: Anytime y 'all in town, I live, you hit me up dog. I got, you know, I rent a house here. Nice open room. I got a spare room for y 'all. No hotel needed. Come kick it out your boy. We'll go out and have some fun. I snore. I snore. Fuck that. I'm getting a hotel. All right, y 'all be safe, bro. Thank you again for having me on and I'll definitely be listening and we'll do this again soon, bro. Absolutely. Tell the fellas we said what's good. All right, brother.
Speaker: Oh, shit. Okay, that was fucking fun. Go ahead and drop him down. That was fucking fun. I don't wanna ban him. I don't wanna kick him. He just gotta clean the whole thing up. Kick from studio, that's all. Yeah, there we go.
Speaker: That's his first time. There we go. This got to this. You're good. There you go. Now, this is a good dude. He's a cool cat. That was awesome. That was fucking awesome. All bullshit aside, that was fucking awesome. I didn't. I honestly. I thought I thought tonight was going to be a little bit more of us. Obviously, I wanted to introduce the audience to him, introduce what he's doing and stuff like that. So it was more of a it was more
Speaker: probably the most interview -ish that I've ever done on a show tonight. It was, I was gonna tell you that, it was. But I wanna, because he, you know, this has come a long way and he kind of said that. And then you get to kind of hear more of his backstory. But, you know, this is a cat who he really did start from the ground floor. I don't wanna say the bottom, but he started from the ground floor and he is starting to blow up
Speaker: on the bone. You guys can listen to one or two five the bone on the tune in app. If you're not in Tampa, I think it's on I heart as well. It's it's all talk radio, but it's a lot of what we do here. So if you like what we do here, it's kind of the same thing. Just censored because it is radio. They got to listen to the AC or the FCC. They can't curse. They can't have some of the conversations that we have. But at the end of the day, every show is literally just
Speaker: You know, Mike council, they've got their crew. There's five of them. And it's literally them just hanging out BS and then bullshitting and talking. They talk, you know, whatever's going on in the news, you know, whatever they roll under Roger and JP, they do the same thing. Monica's on there and, and, and Disney.
Speaker: They got drew and and John sending they're like 12 year old little boys if you like that kind of thing And then the night shows Johnny B has his show a cat named Mo But it's 24 7 talk radio, but it's not that political boring Crap that you instantly think of when you think of talk radio And this is really starting to blow up man. He's he's getting opportunity after opportunity
Speaker: and he's grabbing a hold of it and he's fucking running. And like I said, there's a fan, um, and in, in, in watching him go from, yeah, you just hear him every once in a great while and you're like, who's this dizzy guy, blah, blah, blah. So now you get to hear him so much. I'm, I'm, I'm extremely proud of him. That might not mean anything to anybody, but congrats to the man. Everybody out there. Yeah, you, you're wrong. You ain't wrong at all.
Speaker: And we started kind of conversating back and forth. I didn't know how and if I could get him on the show, but he was instantly like, fuck yeah, man. I'm like, hell yeah, dude. So I do look forward to having him on the show again. But it was really cool to kind of get to have that deep conversation with him and get to see a side of him as a fan that
Speaker: You normally don't get to see so big ups big big big props and shout out to Dizzy for that. Look forward to having him back on the show. You guys go check him out. Dizzy for mayor. All them socials. Check him out. Check out the lazy ass podcast. Do it. If you know what's good. This is fucking awesome.
Speaker: I always tell you congratulations of what you've done. I'm going to tell you congratulations on your sponsorship, for real. I'm going to always tell you thank you for having me on board, all bullshit aside. Well, I wanted you here, man. No, I know. I know. I was just saying, like. No, it's just for real. You know, I always, a lot of hell gets caught on everybody's shit, and you still making it, you still doing it, and you still progressing. Every time you get a guest up here, it's a sign of progression to me, in my opinion. You know, and I always take it back to when I had my interview.
Speaker: I know what it did for me. I don't know how I feel. That's why I tell you that. So just keep doing what you do, man. But I'm going to drop down. I will be here Wednesday night. Hold it down. I don't know if you're going to have to guess or whatever. I know Jeff is proud to be here. I don't think we have anything planned Saturday or Wednesday night. So it'll be the three of us.
Speaker: I do got all kinds of news stories on the backburners, but I got a bunch I got to do. I was going to do some tomorrow night too. I've been trying to save a lot of it for when we come up here, but I might do my own thing tomorrow and throw it out there. I got some news stories on the backburner, but like I said, these next
Speaker: couple weeks. Like I said, we, you know, we had Steven on with the Saturday night. Diz was here tonight, uh, Friday night. I got to double check and make sure everything's good. I'm supposed to be, um, on the queue for you podcast. If you guys want to join, I'll hit them up Friday night. Yeah. Friday night. I think Friday I might be working Saturday morning. I think, I think Friday,
Speaker: seven or eight. I can't remember. I got to hit them up and make sure we're still good for that. And then coming up in August, sometime in August, I'll reach out to the guys. We got Kay Stuckey and 40 Fonz, the scumbag lounge going to join us on the show. Steven wants us to come on the show on his show in August. So I mean, we got got things going on, man. We got, we got things going on. We got,

Speaker: What would I be? Sorry, I would be lying if I said I wasn't kind of Taken aback where the last Month or so
Speaker: Where the show is going after doing this show for for over two years? Kind of shocked. I'm kind of amazed Because when we first started this I Didn't know where it was gonna go where I didn't really know what to expect from and all I knew is that I was finally chasing a dream. I was finally doing something that I wanted to do and
Speaker: We've had our ups and downs. And we've had our supporters, obviously. We've had our haters. And we've just kept going, kind of trying to find our footing and find our way and figure out the direction that this show was gonna go. And like I said, like the last month or so is really,
Speaker: starting to pay off. And I'm excited. I'm eager. I'm hungry again. And I just want to keep pushing.
Speaker: Kind of corny and kind of cheesy, but I feel like I feel like at this moment in time where we are my heavyweight fighter training for his first championship and I'm running with the ball and and I'm putting everything I have into it And there's not any doubt in my mind that this is this is finally
Speaker: gonna be that last hurdle that last hump and all the time and energy and effort not just recording the show and doing the show but everything behind the scenes the sacrifices I've made and and stuff like that are finally paying off and I feel good about it
Speaker: So, hopefully you guys are enjoying what we're doing here. Hopefully you guys are enjoying the product we're putting out. If you're not already, check out the socials, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok. Hang out with us live, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays, 7 p .m. ish, usually the latest to 7 .15, we get started.
Speaker: And if you can't hang out with us live or you just want to listen to the old episodes, go ahead and do that on Spotify and everywhere you listen to podcasts at all at nonsensical nonsense podcast, give us a follow. Give us a listen, give us a share. And if you want to comment and let us know you're listening or, or, or if you want to, um, just to hit us up, whatever. All at nonsensical nonsense podcast, really easy to find. You already know the show.
Speaker: Know what we do just follow it. I hate to share buttons let other people know that's kind of my My in -game not only are we enjoying having guests on the show. I don't want to say interviews tonight was was probably The most interview -ish I've ever been because again as I said as a fan I
Speaker: I really wanted you guys to get a sense and a feel for Dizzy. I wanted you guys to kind of get to get to know Dizzy and know what he's doing and everything like that. So it was a little bit more interviewish. But enjoy having guests come on in and hang out with us. And yeah, we got questions, obviously, we want to know things. But at the same time, we want them to just come hang out and then shoot the shit and be a part of our show.
Speaker: Again that gives not only them an opportunity to grow and introducing their audience to us But it allows us to introduce you guys to them. That's really the coolest thing in my mind Because I'm not just bringing random anybody and everybody who wants to come You know, I do try to vet a little bit but um
Speaker: You know, I want to, I want people we're going to have a good time with people that are going to be cool. Uh, and, and people that you guys are going to like. So it adds another element to our show and a little, uh, an extra, uh, uh, notch in the belt, if you will. Um, you know, my personal life, I like to get around and joke that I'm a jack of all trades. Construction is my.
Speaker: go to, been doing it over half of my life. And anytime I get an opportunity to learn something new, to educate myself, I take it. Because it's something down the road that I'll be able to use. And it's kind of the same thing with this show. And that's where having guests come on the show and having other podcasters or musicians or
Speaker: comedians or actors or whatever the case may be It it kind of expands and Crows us as as as a podcast and sets us apart from other podcasts and other shows because yeah Clicking the gas can come on here and they can Act a damn fool they can conversate they can do this I can do that but
Speaker: but they can also evolve and Have all these various people from all other aspects come and hang out with them and shit shit with them and and and enjoy being here and not You know make them feel comfortable not make them feel like I've already been asked 30 ,000 fucking knives
Speaker: Wednesday night, we got a brand new episode. It's gonna be me, Deb and Tony. Got some new stories for you guys. We're gonna dive into them bad boys. I will not make the mistake that we made Saturday night. We fucking hell. Fuck my life.
Speaker: We've been playing cover songs on here for breaks. And we finally got in trouble with one. It took down our whole ass video. So I spent from about two o 'clock last night until, or yesterday, yesterday afternoon, sorry, yesterday afternoon, until about,
Speaker: 9 30 10 o 'clock trying to fix it and re upload it because I didn't want to lose that on YouTube because we had a really good time with Steve, uh, Steven Jarvis. We had a really good time hanging out with him and I did not want to lose that on, on, on, on YouTube.
Speaker: Even though I'll be able to post the full episode on Spotify and everything like that. But then again, it's also a six hour episode. So I apologize for that too. Jeff and I forgot that we were live and we were just hanging out bullshit. Then we were talking about all these different things. And, uh, then we realized we were still alive. It was like, holy shit. Cause I do apologize for the fact that it's a six hour episode, but go to a long road trip or fucking let it play while you're at work.
Speaker: But yeah, that was The joys of being the host again Maybe one day I'll be rich and I can have minions below me that will do all that work I'll be like fuck we fucked up fix it fix it minions Fix it all right meow minions
Speaker: But until then, anywho, I don't want to bore you guys with my ramblings and all my bullshit. We're going to wrap up the show with a little, what do we want to do?
Speaker: Well, yeah, Mark, but you don't do all the. Behind the scenes stuff for me. You just follow me like a weird creeper. Like a weird ass creeper. Weird as British Oakley bar.
Speaker: I need minions, minions at all. I need to delete that song so it doesn't ever get played again on the air. There we go. Well, shit. Fuck. Please follow us back, Mark. Don't unfollow us.
Speaker: Come back. I feel like the more we do, the better we get.
Speaker: the the the more people that will that will unfollow us or not pay as much attention, which is fine. We're going to weed out the garbage. We're going to weed out the trash. Fuck your ranch. Fuck your ranch dressing belt. I'm for that bitch right in the sink. Double fisted two bottles at a time. No, I feel like we'll get rid of the trash because.
Speaker: They're going to realize that they don't mean anything and they don't phase us in any way, shape or form. And we're going to keep doing what we do. And they're just going to be matter and matter at the end of the day. But that being said, yeah, what, um, let me, uh, give my, let me give my man, let me give my man, Matt James some love real quick. You know, kind of had a real serious conversation tonight on the show.
Speaker: Definitely went a direction that I was not expecting. And shout out to Dizzy for just coming in and just laying it all out there. I mean, it's kind of a nod toward it. I'm going to give us a little bit of a nod. I'm going to go ahead and pat us on the back with the fact that Tony and I made him feel so comfortable and so relaxed that he felt like he could share some of those things with us. And that was awesome.
Speaker: Mondays, it is what it is, man. We get real on the show, me and Tony. We got, we get deep conversations. I look forward to having this back again. Maybe we can figure out a way that you might see this handsome face on the lazy ass podcast, but I want to play my man, Matt James. He's got, oh, I don't know which one to do. Matt James lead singer Blacktop Mojo.
Speaker: He's got his solo album coming out soon. Let's do, let's do runaway. Now a little bit of an emotional show tonight. I feel like we should end it on an emotional note. Why not? I'm feeling good.
Speaker: Sun down, the highway harms the unity of our small town In the rear view, fading like a photo in the sun She tried to leave the past in a cloud of dust I always can't admit that I've been catching up Some things, you just can't
Speaker: Look okay, round the covers up, so much But her plane, it just wouldn't touch So she doubles up, backseat loaded up with hand -me -downs Running those line of lines out of time
