So, I have to sound it out and figure out how the sentence is structured. That's called reading. i know but but there's no, I'm saying there's still apostrophes, I don't know. Where to pause? You don't know what to do with your hands.
00:03:40

00:04:04
Speaker
does that help? That's just what you put in a headline these days. They asked ChatGPT, how do we get these frogs back? The call of the frog.
00:04:16
Speaker
like Right, you could totally record it and then run it through AI and AI will just eventually find... Oh, this is this frog. That's true. But when you say hurt can be heard again... It's heard again in Southern California.
00:04:32
Speaker
Also, Mexico helped out. Shout out to them. Maybe. Maybe it's annoying. border each other. so But I don't understand what... what they were trying to accomplish through this headline.

00:05:02
Speaker
I mean, that seems plausible. Yeah, I have a lot of questions, but I guess that's part of the point. Okay. I don't know. I, this one, i it's just a sentence. Just read it. This one I'm more annoyed by the content of it.
00:05:22

00:08:24
Speaker
Eric Adams, advisor, handed a city reporter cash stuffed in a bag of potato chips. I mean, at least. What are we writing headlines on? better be good.

Speaker
God, I wouldn't do that again. Anyway, good joke. but Yeah, no thanks.
00:17:38
Speaker
Oh, my gosh. Wow. Okay, time out. Now I'm really being serious. Are you serious or are we not?
00:17:48
Speaker
i don't know I'm very serious. Because I told Sean, I was like, well, he bought me tickets to a game a long time ago and then you said it. And I was like, it was so awesome. Now, no matter what I say, you won't believe anything I was saying.
00:18:02
Speaker
Probably not, no. I mean, i was you know being a little dramatic about, nah, never got to, just for you know cool entertainment value.
00:18:14
Speaker
Of course I'll go. i want to go. What game? I don't know what we're talking about. The Monday night football game versus the Commanders. They're playing on Monday night? Yeah.
00:18:25
Speaker
What? When? October 13th. What if I can't go? i asked Erin and she said... That big... Erin doesn't know my schedule. I give her a different schedule. She's like, I don't really know a schedule. But there's nothing. i have nothing going on. It's Columbus Day. It's holiday weekend. Oh, my gosh. My heart's kind of pumping a little bit now.
00:18:48
Speaker
That's hilarious. Are you serious? you then thought that I was then joking. Yeah. Very serious. Yeah. I'm waiting for you to say, no, I'm just kidding. No. I can tell you the real article.
00:19:00
Speaker
that I replaced it with an 83 year old pizza tycoon fights to save 3,500 dominoes.
00:19:10
Speaker
Oh man. Yeah.
00:19:15
Speaker
Oh, that was such a plot twist. That was hilarious. Wow. Because I thought... Nobody ever pulls stuff off like this on me. i thought I hope he knows it wasn't cheap. He has got no reaction right now. And he's acting like he didn't want to go. And then I thought, oh, he thinks I'm not serious.
00:19:35
Speaker
Which, to be fair, i mean, makes sense. But... Yeah, Caleb Williams didn't surprise anybody. I mean, he may have. Well, he definitely did. I mean, they do that kind of thing all the time. That was the perfect story.
00:19:50
Speaker
Yeah. But it took me minute to find it because I thought he's going to roll his eyes or think it's fake. And obviously, you were not. No, like was all in.
00:20:02
Speaker
Wow.
00:20:05
Speaker
Obviously, I want to go. Like, I was just playing the whole... was just kidding. This is going on YouTube. This is incredible. Oh, wow.
00:20:18
Speaker
Yeah. okay Man. That's probably so easy. Early in the season, too. So, who knows? I mean, it might be... It was so easy to convince Erin to let you record tonight because she was excited.
00:20:32
Speaker
Man, there is... I can't... It always blows my mind when things are going on behind the scenes that I don't realize. Yeah. I never think people are capable of doing stuff like that.
00:20:46
Speaker
That's just... No one's capable of fooling you. No. That's why you immediately were like, well, this is a joke. Especially Erin. She has no poker face. like she Yeah, I mean, I told her last week.
00:21:02
Speaker
Because I was like, are you sure? Like, we're good. And she's like, yeah I mean, no, but yeah. On Monday night? Are we going spend night? Yeah, that was kind of like, okay, I don't know what the plan is, but Monday night, five-hour drive, baby. I don't remember how far that drive was, but I remember we got up early that morning.
00:21:22
Speaker
We did. you remember when we hit the deer? We did, and we picked up the license plate on the way back. I didn't hear that part of the story. Wow.
00:21:33
Speaker
Yeah, that morning on the way there, it was like a one o'clock game. So we go down. i was so, I don't know what time it was, but it was still dark outside. A deer ran into the side of the car.
00:21:50
Speaker
m That Dodge Durango. Am I remembering it right that we found the license plate? I don't remember that part. i was just going to let you go with that. I don't remember that.
00:22:01
Speaker
I remember we got there and then realized that something had fallen off of it
00:22:11
Speaker
it. It's a very foggy memory. But the game, everything about it, I was like, oh, this is awesome. this is It was. It was an awesome game. There was so much stuff that happened. Yeah.
Nostalgic Game Trip Memories and Future Plans
00:22:23
Speaker
J. Cutler got hurt.
00:22:25
Speaker
Yeah, that was... And then the other thing. Yes, exactly. Thank you. I was watching highlights of that game just another a week ago because I started watching Devin Hester highlights and one of the highlights was that game when he ran that punt back and I was like, man, I went and watched all the highlights from that game. Yeah.
00:22:47
Speaker
Because it was like a 37 to 32. It was a high. Somebody was in the Like Washington scored right at the very end to win, right? RG3.
00:22:59
Speaker
Was that who was quarterback? Yeah. Man, how'd they not win? That's crazy. I mean, guess he was... I remember clearly, too, there would be little incidents. Because, you know, we... We threw the football over in the tailgate section. Oh, we did, yeah.
00:23:18
Speaker
And my football was doing a little curve off to the side that it does. Because it spirals weird. I was going to say there were... So, you know, football fans... are crazy Like if their team, their and team is never wrong. And I remember sitting there and somebody, the safety for Washington just completely destroys this guy.
00:23:38
Speaker
And they get like targeting and they're, and everyone around us like that's, and they're watching the replay. That's baloney. And I remember we're sitting there like, I mean, it yeah that was pretty bad is very bad, but we can't say it out loud because everyone around us is,
00:23:56
Speaker
and we're We're up in that same spot. so we'll still We'll hang out with the same guys.
00:24:03
Speaker
Okay. don't i don't want to act too excited now. Yeah, please don't. I mean, if you don't want to go, resell the tickets. totally that will no Oh my gosh. I told him he should just show up.
00:24:21
Speaker
I told him, show up at your doorstep and be like, alright, we're going. And he was like, I can't do that. Yeah, talk about just Monday morning. All right, let's do this. It's a holiday. Just show up at the door and like, get in the car. Get in the car. We're going. I don't even think I realized they were playing on Monday night. I knew they were playing, but. So I didn't either. And then when I was looking at the tickets, I was like, okay, nobody wants to see a Bears versus Commanders game this bad.
00:24:50
Speaker
And then I realized it was a Monday night game. And I'm like, okay, this is starting to make more sense. Because, you know, I was the Bears. I mean, well, I well, that's what I thought. Do they really have this much stake in Caleb Williams? They're like, oh, my gosh. Well, I was looking at Falcons commander's tickets in Atlanta, but then I found out I'd be in Vegas when they're playing.
00:25:11
Speaker
Where? Where are you going to be Las Vegas. I'm sorry. There you go. There you go. Just to be clear. You're not a local. Yeah. Only the locals can say Vegas. I was unaware of that.
00:25:23
Speaker
Okay. I mean, a Monday night game, that'll be cool. Right? I don't know. i mean, you know how these things go. It's like October-ish. But i would I don't know if I want to do it again.
00:25:35
Speaker
i probably won't wear my Bears jersey this time. I just don't want it to rain. you know But I behaved. You did behave. I think that's the only, the main thing I didn't like was all the other people just acting dumb.
00:25:51
Speaker
that's I'm like, okay, well, I can be here and just chill and enjoy the game. No. It was... Imagine you wear a Jay Cutler jersey. How many people be like, you know he went to jail.
00:26:04
Speaker
You know he went he spent time in jail. will wear it. I will wear it. That guy's got a Cutler jersey. sure I did wear that. You did. Man, are you going to drive this time?
00:26:15
Speaker
i mean, were you even 16 last time? When did we go? 2012-ish. That's when RG3 was... Yeah. almost 15 years ago. Wow. It was long time ago. And I thought, oh man, I want to repay the favor. Oh. know And he'll be so... Okay, you're trying to make me cry. Yeah.
00:26:42
Speaker
ah Well, I thought you'd get such a better reaction. And then I thought, yeah, I definitely owe you quite a bit of money and stuff. So thought, all right, well. Okay, but if you want to feel your feels a little, he was super excited about the idea. And he has been planning this for a while and was very excited.
00:27:03
Speaker
And then he goes, i don't know that i would do that again. That's why I was going, no, no, no, no.
00:27:15
Speaker
And I'm thinking, okay. was like, oh god, this whole thing's over. It's backfiring. yeah Abort, abort, forget it. That's like, wait, what do we do now?
