Speaker 2:Oh, how'd you like that intro, Tom?
Speaker 3:That's awesome.
Speaker 2:A little different.
Speaker 3:Yes, lots different.
Speaker 2:Yeah. But, Try something different.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's cool that we're evolving.
Speaker 2:Somewhat we are. Some people would say we're not.
Speaker 3:But I like to think we are.
Speaker 2:Those are the people not listening. Why aren't they listening?
Speaker 3:I'm not sure?
Speaker 2:Oh well, hell with them. I'm not sure.
Speaker 3:Hell with them, probably life.
Speaker 2:Life does get in the way.
Speaker 3:And you know this is a political year.
Speaker 2:Oh, absolutely.
Speaker 3:Don't we all?
Speaker 2:know that this week's been another gem. Yeah, what was? Absolutely don't. We all know that this week's been another gem. Yeah, well, what was up with that little party of uh, kamala, kamala, whatever you want to call her?
Speaker 3:kamala, wait a minute. Was that a party? I thought that was a raid came close to being a raid oh wow.
Speaker 2:Well, you know I seen it's a little different. I seen on the, it seems to me she was appealing to more of the should I say, trashy type crowd.
Speaker 3:Yes, yes, is that okay to say yeah?
Speaker 2:Yeah, because that's what they were. Yeah, some lady up there singing about her cat, I mean her pussy.
Speaker 3:Yeah, well, whichever one, it really doesn't matter. It had nothing to do with, no, what we're doing.
Speaker 2:I don't even think she brought up any uh political view of no sort except for just being there for her rt.
Speaker 3:Oh, and I here. Here was my cherry on the damn top I would make.
Speaker 2:That's going to make me turn my vote to her.
Speaker 3:But no, no, that looks just like fun. This is probably what's going to make me change that cherry on top of the little ice cream float. Oh yeah, when she was a southerner, when she started speaking southern.
Speaker 2:Where did that little accent come from?
Speaker 3:I don't know, but it didn't sound Asian to me at all. No, it didn't sound.
Speaker 2:Jamaican. No or normal.
Speaker 3:It's just where you're from. They don't change when they're around the people.
Speaker 2:they want to impress it all depends on where you're from and how you grew up and what part of town.
Speaker 3:We call those people chameleons.
Speaker 2:I have a stupid Massachusetts accent.
Speaker 3:We call those people chameleons. When they're around someone, she's a chameleon. She converts into whatever she's around, just to blend in Ridiculous, I'm telling you. Well, it was hilarious. I seen a thing somewhere on the Internet of her with this girl bouncing around twerking all over.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's the same thing I'm talking about, right? Yeah, it's ridiculous. And then a Donald Trump campaign where he is talking about uniting America and all this, plus the song he comes out with is I'm Proud to Be an American.
Speaker 3:Yes, A big difference. So I mean, you can either.
Speaker 2:If you really hate, America get the hell out.
Speaker 3:I'm telling you, and here's what really got me Go somewhere where you think it's better.
Speaker 2:Let me know how that works out for you.
Speaker 3:Exactly. But here's what really gets me, Mike is, I think, what that portrayed to me. In most things, she is focusing her campaign on one gender and that is racist.
Speaker 2:To me, I'll put them all together Trash people.
Speaker 3:I'm sorry, that's how I look at it, but she brought out a twerking.
Speaker 2:I'm sorry, nobody there had any dignity at all.
Speaker 3:And then wanted to be a southern person.
Speaker 2:That's not what the world I want to be in Nope.
Speaker 3:Me neither.
Speaker 2:Anyways, let's not get too serious.
Speaker 3:Exactly Back to reality. Wasn't much funny about that?
Speaker 2:Well, yeah, we say what's on our minds, that's us, that's why we're doing this.
Speaker 3:But then we can laugh about it. Later we can laugh about it.
Speaker 2:We can laugh about it. Quite a bit of laughing, some crying.
Speaker 3:Exactly yeah, we've got all kinds of stuff going on.
Speaker 2:We've got something going on there next weekend.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Get your work together, you got something going on there next weekend.
Speaker 3:Yeah, get your work together.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we're going to flip around, it's been a situation where my wife and I it doesn't sound like a pleasant trip to- me, though I'm sorry If it was just you and the missus.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah. Well, that's true, but this is kind of a birthday present to her brother and sort of self-funded. He's kind of throwing in all the traveling, I know you know, yeah, I'm, I'm feeling it. Every stop we're gonna make there's gonna be a beer purchase and I'm not gonna be at that end because I'll be driving, but what they do, that car there yeah, what they do buy beer.
Speaker 3:Of course he did, we stopped, but anyway, we are going to go up to Gatlinburg and spend a weekend. He has never been. He's 40, almost 50 years old. He's never been to Gatlinburg and you know what he has talked two weeks solid about doing when he gets there I'm going to eat at Bubba Gump's. That's his only desire.
Speaker 2:I'm going to eat at Bubba Gump's, that's his only desire he wants to eat at Bubba Gump's.
Speaker 3:It's kind of sad.
Speaker 2:We're a household name.
Speaker 3:It's kind of sad. Anyway, that's where I'll be next weekend.
Speaker 2:Have you watched any of the Olympics at all?
Speaker 3:Only just reviews of it on the news and just different things.
Speaker 2:Hey too political, too much bullshit. I feel bad for the athletes.
Speaker 3:The opening ceremony just caused it all to be completely distorted. I mean, the Olympics were designed to draw countries together, but this time it just drove everybody apart, and I'm going to be honest.
Speaker 2:And I'm sick of it. I don't know what the name of the band was that opened up. I like I thought their music was awesome. What's her name, headless?
Speaker 3:oh yeah, marie, and all the window.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that what they're playing. That's song. I think someone said it goes back to some battle or some heading of her maybe, but the band was freaking awesome. I thought, yeah, the only thing I do have a problem with is the table situation. Now I know the gods, I get it. I just think it could have been done a little differently, because you're not going to tell me they did it to press a couple buttons too.
Speaker 3:I still feel that way.
Speaker 2:I am not pissed off about it. It was very, very close. It does not bother me, but I could see where religious people could get a little offended by that.
Speaker 3:Exactly Because I think that's exactly what they?
Speaker 2:they just poked the bear a little bit. Just a little, and whatever you wanted to get a rise, that's fine.
Speaker 3:And the one thing that bothered me about it was the tin. Yeah, the little kid there.
Speaker 2:Why did the little kid have to be in there Involved in all that.
Speaker 3:Why are we pushing our agendas on our children when we're supposed to be protecting them? Now we're confusing the shit right out of them Again.
Speaker 2:I don't want to get into these deep topics. I want to stay away from them. I want this to be fun.
Speaker 3:This is supposed to be fun. Here's something fun about the Olympics. The big talk. The big talk, it's not the political guy whacks out a girl and knocks her out. Okay, I think it's the guy from Turkey who just strolls out like freaking Clint.
Speaker 2:Eastwood Gets a silver medal.
Speaker 3:Make my day.
Speaker 2:All because his ex-wife said he would amount to nothing. That's a weird story. You keep wanting to get on that mic and make out with it, man.
Speaker 3:I do because it feels good on my beard.
Speaker 2:You just got to be right here like this. You don't have to right where you are.
Speaker 3:The thing about it is I'm already low enough and I'm afraid you're not going to hear me.
Speaker 2:Oh, I hear you, okay cool. Afraid you're not going to hear me. Oh, I hear you, okay cool and then, when you get closer, it sounds, it sounds like yeah, just sounds like I'm having a good time in the dark sounds like you're having a good time, but I'm sitting right here watching you and I'm not having a good time.
Speaker 3:It's like I'm having a good time in the dark, okay, anyway I'm getting a little worried is he? Gonna take that whole thing in, or but let's talk about table tennis, just a second. Something I noticed about this. Have you ever seen a tennis match?
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Okay, and all you can hear is the ball being hit back and forth because everybody's quiet. And then you've got to understand. Table tennis, ping pong, aka, and these guys are cheering the whole time, from the time the guy serves the ping pong ball or the table tennis ball.
Speaker 2:Why is that a cheering?
Speaker 3:thing I don't know, but man, they are wild at a ping pong match. They scream during the whole thing. Holy crap, man they do. If you'll ever pull it up and watch it.
Speaker 2:I thought surely we're not playing ping pong against other countries for an olympic event yes, we are, oh yeah yeah, and I just, I don't know I thought it'd be like people be quiet watching them, you know exactly, but no, nope, nope, no.
Speaker 3:They are wild and wide open, screaming the whole time you. You ought to really listen to them. Pull it up one day.
Speaker 2:Oh, I will pull it up one day. It's really fun. You'll have to. I've seen clips, but I just never.
Speaker 3:But yeah, and Forrest Gump, you know what a great movie, what a freaking awesome movie.
Speaker 2:It was a good movie.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you've probably seen it a million times, I'm sure.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I can recite it, dear.
Speaker 3:God, make me a bird so I can fly far, far away. Pray with me, forest Well.
Speaker 2:Lieutenant Dan.
Speaker 3:You got new legs.
Speaker 2:Thanks, buddy.
Speaker 3:And always trying to help. Lieutenant Dan out Ice cream. Lieutenant Dan ice cream.
Speaker 2:What's the TV show you were telling me about? Oh yeah, I mean, we had different TV shows we were talking about.
Speaker 3:Yeah, speaking of shows, my wife and I have been watching this show that's been on for a while. It's called Alone.
Speaker 2:Okay. And it is where 10 contestants usually people this is the one you were starting to tell me about last week.
Speaker 3:A little yeah, okay.
Speaker 2:So, where are you now with this?
Speaker 3:We're on, we're getting ready to start the last season because get this, they skipped a season. Now, this won't make sense until I give you a back story. What this show is about is 10 people usually people who are very good at, you know outdoors and they have to they get to choose 10 personal items to take with them, and then their clothing okay, and then their clothing Okay, and then they have a safety pack which is a first aid kit. Blah, blah, blah. They get sent out in the middle of nowhere and they have to live with nothing but what they chose as long as they can. And the next thing they know is their loved ones show up and tell them they won. That's the whole thing. But they don't know that these other people have dropped off and dropped off and this guy got cut and had to leave, and blah, blah, blah. But it's kind of a different thing. But here's what gets me. We've watched season one through seven and I have yet to find 8. Season 8 is not out there.
Speaker 3:So I did a little research and found out that Season 8 would have been during the time of COVID, so they probably shut down all this for COVID. But I asked myself.
Speaker 2:Why, so? Why didn't they just make the next one, season 8?
Speaker 3:Okay, but I ask myself why? Why didn't they just make the next one season eight, okay, or take ten people and set them out in the middle of nowhere, where we were all supposed to be in the first damn place? Why'd they shut it down? That's the whole thing. They were all alone. They weren't around anybody anyway, so why did they not have a season? That's what gets me, that's what makes me, that's what makes me go. What the hell? Why not?
Speaker 3:well covet made us shut down. No, you're alone. They're out there, not around anybody. Why would you shut it down? Right right but it's well. It's like the show you were talking about, the 40 4400 yeah yeah, yeah, I never did watch it. It was into that one weird show.
Speaker 2:4400 people disappeared. They all ended up coming back Right Eventually. Just all of a sudden they reappeared. So they're back in people's lives and nobody knows what happened. It's like an alien type thing Do. They know what happened, not really, so they just showed up, but they it was just oh wait for the next season, done, it was no ending ever. Wow, it just bugged the crap out of me Because, like you know me, I don't watch a lot of TV. Right right, don't have the attention span.
Speaker 3:To get involved Bouncing off the walls? Yeah, to get involved, but I sat there and watched that damn thing.
Speaker 2:I'm like son of a.
Speaker 3:To get involved in something and it just crush you at the end Yellowstone.
Speaker 2:Binge watching Yellowstone. Binge watch it. They say It'll be fun.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and then it all blends in.
Speaker 2:You can't but hey it's what makes it kind of fun.
Speaker 3:It's entertainment.
Speaker 2:It is entertaining.
Speaker 3:Entertainment and that's that's why we watch exactly. There were a couple like Lost I watched.
Speaker 2:I watched a couple. I think the first season I pretty much watched. I got out of it and then I just remember people bitching. I'm like what happened? So I watched the last episode. I'm like, oh crap.
Speaker 3:I got into it and then all of a sudden you're like they were all dead, wait a minute.
Speaker 2:And I'm like this just that was a spoiler alert, it was. It was terrible.
Speaker 3:Those who haven't watched it they're not ever gonna watch it. It was 10 years ago be surprised but anyway, and then the other one that we we watched a movie that was just in oh, I had to go see it because I love old movies like this in the 1800s and the 16th century and back in the day, and it was called the Village. You may remember hearing about it, but it just the ending blows your mind. It just made me so mad I got up and left and I was pissed off and, oh yeah, twelve dollars to watch.
Speaker 3:This never happened yeah, exactly, it was like are you kidding me? We sat here this whole time thinking there were monsters in the woods and it was their parents scaring them out, and they had jeeps in there and freaking.
Speaker 2:they were living in a park, really, oh spoiler alert there is one movie that I really do like the ending to, and that was the Sixth Sense.
Speaker 3:That was a good. I did like that.
Speaker 2:That was a good ending Because I have to admit, it kept me guessing. I never suspected because it was the interaction. Now, I know people would ignore at times and you kind of thought it was weird. But I thought, you know Bruce Willis is going through shit but he wants to help this kid, right. He's ignoring his wife, he's you know. And then that happened at the end, right. And it's like son of a he's dead man. Then they show the whole scene. Okay, and then that was very interesting.
Speaker 3:Here's what caught me afterwards. You know what, if you go back and watch that movie, he's wearing the same clothes in the whole movie.
Speaker 2:That's what a lot of people they noticed it when they re-watched it.
Speaker 3:You just don't notice it though. That's being drawn into it.
Speaker 2:And I thought that was a great movie. That's an awesome movie. Poor Bruce Willis. But, anyways, have you heard from the little dudes at all? Please tell me, the angry ones is feeling a little better.
Speaker 3:Well. I haven't seen him a whole lot since Bill took his parking spot and all that drama.
Speaker 2:I hope he's still not complaining about that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, anyway. I think he's around here somewhere and he's got some stuff on his mind.
Speaker 2:he said Anyways, why don't we go get him? Okay, all right, people, that'll be fine, we'll be back after the little dudes, I guess.
Speaker 3:If we decide to.
Speaker 4:Hey, buddy, how are you? Why are you so hesitant? You just look a little different today. So I took a shower, big deal, oh, excellent, that's awesome. You smell better, yeah, but I don't feel any better. Why, well, bill's not in your spot? No, I got my spot. Oh, there you go. You should be happy. Yeah, I'm just waiting for Troy's helicopter to land in the damn spot. He'll be a guest on another episode. Yeah, why can't you wait? I can wait for my spot to be taken.
Speaker 4:Maybe he'll just drive him in an Uber. Did I just say pot? Sorry, I was thinking about something else. Anyway, yeah, well, that pissed me off a little bit. I think he's going to Uber in. Anyways, he's an Uber driver. No, an Uber driver will bring him. Oh, hey, hey, just. Uh, those guys, mike and Tom are paying for it. They pay for his Uber. Yeah, and I have to pay for mine. Why are you taking an Uber? You said you had a little Uber. Yeah, and I have to pay for mine. Why are you taking an Uber? You said you had a little vehicle.
Speaker 4:Yeah, whoops. I ran into a squirrel the other day, told him to stay a thing Poor squirrel, no, poor car, not a squirrel. He was fine. Oh, grabbed these nuts and took off no pun intended. Yeah Well, that nuts and took off, anyway, no pun intended. Yeah well, that wasn't no pun. No pun intended. Hey, yeah, anyway. But I have to tell you I seen Bill at the grocery store the other day. Are you sure it was Bill? I'm absolutely positive. Talk to him. Okay, what'd you talk about? Nothing. Just said hey. And what did Bill say? Hello there. And I cussed him under my breath as I walked away. Why would you do that to Bill? Why wouldn't I? He took my damn spot, okay.
Speaker 4:But anyway, that's enough of that, I want to tell you something that's really been under my craw. Has it got anything to do with those two idiots talked about A little, oh God, they didn't even say anything. Bad, they brought up a sore spot, you have a lot of sore spots, that's right, and this one is a scab. They ripped right off. Ah, did they rip it off quick or slowly? It was real slow. Oh yeah, that sucks. Sorry to hear that, but anyway, this damn show alone that I got hooked on because Tom said it was a good show.
Speaker 4:It was at first. Oh Well, when you're around him, all you gotta do is watch what he gets to watch. Oh, you don't get a choice. Oh, there's no choice. No, there's no choice.
Speaker 1:I'm sorry to hear that.
Speaker 4:Yeah. Well, you're gonna be more sorry when I tell you the choice. Oh, how you feel about Bigfoot? Well, yeah. Well, it's either that or this. Alone they got me hooked on. Well, it's a good idea. A lot of people like it, because eventually, with these dumbasses that are running the democracy in our country, we're going to all have to live in the woods anyway. So you better pay attention. Okay, but the biggest bitch and grub is the same thing Tom had.
Speaker 4:Why would you take a show and cancel it? Because of a sickness that you've got to keep everybody away from? Alone is alone, that's true. I had nobody with them. Yeah, that's true. Why did they cancel it? And, like the other guy brought up, why didn't they just make that season 8, instead of skipping one and make some dumb idiot look? 14 hours for season 8? Well, that pissed me off even more. Who's the idiot who searched for 14 hours? Well, I did, because I was afraid I was going to miss something. Did you? Yeah, you missed the whole season, the whole season, because of damn made-up disease. I'm going to have to be honest with you here. Excuse me, I don't want to say made-up disease, because I'm going to have to be honest with you here. Excuse me, I don't want to say made-up disease, because a lot of people did die from complications of shit that they brought over here and subjected us to. But anyway, that's another story. So back to this alone. Have you seen this show?
Speaker 4:First thing I thought of how stupid are these people, why? Why would you only have ten things in the middle of the woods and hope you make it longer than anybody else? What ten things could you take? They have a list on HistoryChannelcom. I ain't going there. Just tell me what the hell they brought. Well, no, they don't. Oh, you can see a complete list. Well, whoop-de-doo, I didn't care. I can watch the whole season and see the damn dumb items they brought with them.
Speaker 4:You know what one guy brought A toothbrush? Oh, they give with them. You know what one guy brought A toothbrush? No, they give them that. They do give them a toothbrush. No, toothpaste, though, most of them brushing their teeth with charcoal. How stupid.
Speaker 4:But anyway, they come out. Oh, joe, he's got a damn. I didn't pick a fire stick because I can make fire with wood. Well, guess what, joe? Your section is the damn rainforest. How you gonna find wood to start a fire you stupid shit. Well, they bring these people in here from all over the place, oregon and Washington State. Then there's one dude from guess where, nebraska. Them bitches don't know how to live in a country.
Speaker 4:They have Corn. Well, yeah, they grow it. I didn't say porn, I said corn. Oh no, the porn would be Utah Ah okay, shit porn, but anyway, utah Huh, okay, sheep horn. But anyway, I don't mean any disrespect to all the sheep lovers out there, sorry, but anyway, this alone damn thing is pretty stupid.
Speaker 4:If you ask me, okay, I'm going to go check my gill net today. Well, it's four degrees below zero Dumbass, the water's froze. Go check my gill net today. Well, it's four degrees below zero dumbass, the water's froze. Well, for every four inches the ice will hold 200 pounds. Well, you've been out here 60 days. You don't weigh 200 pounds anymore.
Speaker 4:Go out there and fish. Quit crying, I'm hungry. Well, this show Tom watches is a dumb show. Why don't you just go to sleep? You can't go to sleep when all I hear is well, I'm trying to go to sleep, but there's a bear outside the tent trying to get my damn fish. I don't know what I'm going to do if it eats all my fish. Well, stupid ass, you're going to wake up and starve to death and pop out.
Speaker 4:Okay, why don't you just figure out a way to hang it in a tree somehow? See, another guy decided to do that. Guess what A squirrel. Nope, wolverine Climbed up. Baron 80's shit Killed a whole moose, had enough to last him three months. One guy, 1,800 pounds of meat. He built this big thing to put it up on way up high so nothing could get to it, but the Wolverine, yeah, dumbass, didn't shave the bark off the post and the wolverine climbed right up there.
Speaker 4:What an idiot. See, they're good at living in the woods by themselves, but they don't think things through. They're not common sense. Oh boy, wow, I'm almost at a loss of words, almost, but I got a few Stupid. I gotta be honest with you. I think this whole thing's funny. I got you in a good mood. You didn't piss me off at all.
Speaker 4:Well, every once in a while, a squirrel find a nut. A blind squirrel? Yeah, them too. I never met a blind squirrel. How do you know? Well, because I never seen one with one of them, damn white sticks.
Speaker 4:Okay, good point, good point. I don't think they use those, but I think there's a squirrel running around over here with a blade. Ah, yeah, your blade got missing. That dumbass might left his blade out there and it's gone. Ah, yeah, your blade got missing. That dumbass might left his blade out there and it's gone. Well, you'll know one day when he gets held up by a damn hummingbird. Yeah, I'm here to take your damn sugar water. Oh, what was that? It was a notification. Oh, from a fan. Probably. We have all kinds. Oh, that's cool. Most of them are asleep all the time, but, yeah, we have all kinds of fans. Well, I have to admit, I thought this little episode here was a lot more pleasant. Well, yeah, I'm sorry. No, don't be sorry. This was awesome. Yeah, well, it's sorry. No, don't be sorry, this was awesome. Yeah, well, it's hard for me to pretend for very long. Why? Well, what? Why can't you just pretend that's what I'm doing For a long time? Huh, for a long time? No, it's kind of like eating. All right, I like eating.
Speaker 4:Yeah, once you're full of something you don't want, no more. I'm full of this happy shit. Oh, wow, yeah, all right, sorry, they told me to quit being so damn bitchy. Maybe just burp and make a little room. Well, they told me to quit being so damn bitchy, so I thought I'd come in here and talk about something, see, and we all appreciate that. Well, yeah, appreciate this, and, as a Forrest Gump would have said, that's all I got to say about that. See, all right, little buddy, I'll see you next week. Okay, all right, man, you take care. Have a good one. Yep, bye.
Speaker 2:Bye, bye. That wasn't such a bad little episode with those guys this week. Nah, he didn't seem too irritated, did he? It seems funny how that angry guy kind of mirrors you somewhat.
Speaker 3:Well, he hangs around a lot. I don't know why he hangs around my house.
Speaker 2:Isn't that kind of weird?
Speaker 3:Not weird as much as annoying.

Speaker 2:Well, he's at your house.
Speaker 3:Sardines and crackers, yeah well.
Speaker 2:You're treating your guests pretty shitty.
Speaker 3:I consider him family.
Speaker 2:Okay, I get the shitty part, then yeah, there you go yeah, okay, that's understandable.
Speaker 3:He's kind of a part of me.
Speaker 2:Well, anyways, I thought that was a little.
Speaker 3:There was no, anger. Not as much.
Speaker 2:I think he was sick today.
Speaker 3:Sick of no just sick. Oh, okay, I think he was feeling unwell. Might be why he was a little different.
Speaker 2:Did you happen to catch the Hall of Fame game the other night?
Speaker 3:No, I did not watch Chicago-Houston. I did not watch.
Speaker 2:Actually it wasn't too bad for whoever's not going to be on the team next time or whatever. It actually was a decent product to watch. I don't like the new kickoff rule.
Speaker 3:Is there a new one now?
Speaker 2:There is.
Speaker 5:Well, let's let our sports guy Troy tell us all about it. Tom, the NFL has introduced significant changes to kickoff rules for the 2024 season, aiming to enhance safety and increase the number of returns. Player alignment the new rules create designated zones on the field. The kicking team, excluding the kicker, will line up at the receiving team's 40-yard line. The receiving team must have seven players between their 30 and 35-yard lines, the setup zone and no more than two players in the landing zone between the goal line and the 20-yard line. Landing zone between the goal line and the 20-yard line.
Speaker 5:Movement restrictions Players on both the kicking and receiving teams will face movement restrictions before the ball is in play. Kicking team players cannot move until the ball hits the ground or is caught, and the kicker cannot cross the 50-yard line until the ball is in play. The 50-yard line until the ball is in play. Kickoff scenarios the ball must land in the landing zone between the 20-yard line and the goal line to avoid penalties. If the ball lands in the end zone and is downed, the receiving team gets it at their 30-yard line. If the ball goes out of bounds before hitting the ground or a player, it results in a penalty and the receiving team gets the ball at their 40-yard line. Onside Kicks. Onside kicks are limited to the fourth quarter or later. When a team is trailing, the kicking team must declare its intent to perform an onside kick. These changes are designed to make kickoffs safer while keeping them an exciting part of the game. I'm Troy and that's been your Sports Minute.
Speaker 3:But here's my question. Okay, you know how most of the onside kicks they kick the ball into the ground so it bounces up real high Right. Some of them miss it and it doesn't hit the ground and it just kind of sails. Yeah, so none of them guys can move until that ball hits somebody Pretty much. Wow, that's crazy.
Speaker 2:Now I don't know on that onside kick, but it seemed, I don't know, like I said, other than that the product was good and I got. Let's see my team's playing the Panthers Thursday night, yeah yeah. You guys are playing Indy.
Speaker 3:Right.
Speaker 2:Colts Denver. I was playing the Colts on Sunday, so I'll watch those games. Yeah, I'll see more, don't forget now there's only three preseason games, there's not four anymore. Right.
Speaker 3:That changed last year. It's not four anymore. Right, that changed last year, it did change.
Speaker 2:So you're probably going to have some of your starters in for the first quarter. On this one, they're definitely going to probably play the second preseason game Right, and the third one will be treated as like the fourth where just like we're rolling. Unless you really suck, you're out for all three of them. All three of those games.
Speaker 3:That's going to be the water boy. Forest yeah.
Speaker 2:You know what pissed me off the other day.
Speaker 3:What.
Speaker 2:Coming home from work yesterday, friday, nice, you know. Hey, get out of work, can't wait to get home Ready.
Speaker 3:I'm ready to go.
Speaker 2:Get behind the little bo-ped boy. Oh no, big fat helmet on on. Can't go over 30 miles an hour. Car in front of me won't pass them oh, I'm stuck, I'm like move, just move. Pull over now. There's traffic behind me. Yeah, they're doing 30 followed them all the way through Drexel, all the way to Morganton.
Speaker 3:How far behind are you going to get if you pull over for five seconds and let three cars pass you? I mean you're doing 12 miles an hour.
Speaker 2:He's kind of pulled over. Enough anyways, so she can go by. Oh no, I'm not passing. Oh scary Lady, there's no cars coming. You could squeeze her up, nope?
Speaker 3:Nope, I hit him. Well, yeah, mopeds, that's crazy, damn it. Mopeds. My wife and I got behind one one time, this dude. He had like two tires on one handlebar, two tires on another handlebar and a tire around his neck and he was driving up the damn road. He had like four tires on this little moped. She has a picture in her phone to this day with that that's crazy. What the hell. But that is not the craziest story I've heard about a moped.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 3:Nope, this guy I knew one time. He knew a guy named Marcel Ledbetter.
Speaker 2:What.
Speaker 3:Yep, marcel Ledbetter. Okay, yep, marcel.
Speaker 2:Ledbetter Okay.
Speaker 3:He used to drive a pulpwood truck down in Georgia and Louisiana where there's a lot of pulpwood.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 3:And everybody knows pulpwood's real sticky and yucky.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 3:You just don't like to haul that stuff. But he did and he worked for this pulpwood company and his little boy, Tater yep, Tater Ledbetter, oh Jesus, Tater Ledbetter he would come to the pulpwood place every once in a while. His dad would bring him. And the guy who ran this pulpwood place, he had a moped motorcycle.
Speaker 2:A moped motorcycle. Well, this little m place, he had a moped motorcycle, a moped motorcycle.
Speaker 3:Well, this little moped.
Speaker 2:Okay okay.
Speaker 3:Well, tater, he'd get to ride it. His dad said but don't take it off the lot. Well, one day Tater saw a hole in the fence and boom, he went right through the hole in the fence and up on the hard top road and swooped around at the stoplight and he stopped Across the road. From the stoplight was a brand new I think he said it was a Mercedes Benz dealership. Dude pulls out of there with a brand new Mercedes Benz, $70,000 car.
Speaker 3:Blah, blah, blah comes swooping up beside Tater in this car. Tater, he grew up on this farm. He ain't never seen nothing like that. He was like, wow, this is a nice car. So he gets up real close and he pushes his nose up against the door glass trying to see in, you know, and he's looking, looking and the guy he notices, tater, you know, just Googling his car, and he rolls his window down a little bit and he said Hello, son. He said, sir, that's a nice car, smell them leather seatso he said, yes, sir. He said it's, it's got leather seats. He said, wow, that's a really nice car. He said well, thank you, son, he's all happy, happy.
Speaker 3:You know, this boy is all excited about his car, you know. He said well, I decided that I was gonna rev the engine up for the little old boy. He's like ooh, that's exciting, that sounds good. He said how fast will it go? Oh, it'll do 120. Ooh, 120. Wow. He said that's awesome. Well, about that time the light turned green. The guy in the new Mercedes says well, I'm really going to give him a show. So he stomps it, you know, leaves black marks down the strip and he's gone. Well, pretty soon the guy in the Mercedes he sees this little black speck in the rearview mirror. The little black speck keeps getting closer and closer and he's like I believe that's that little old boy on that moped tater.
Speaker 3:Hey, I believe that's tater, and pretty soon right by him. I believe it was that little old boy on that moped. Pretty soon, here comes, speck, it was coming back, zoom, right by him again. He's like that was that little old boy on that moped, what in the hell? And pretty soon here it comes back and all of a sudden, bam, he hit the back of that Mercedes in that moped and just boom, the guy in the Mercedes slams on the brakes, gets out. There's little old Tater in a pile of moped parts in the highway barely breathing. The guy's like oh, you're breathing, thank God you're breathing. Oh, little boy, I'm so sorry. He said are you okay? And Tater's like yeah, I think so. He said is there anything, anything in the world, that I can do for you? And Tater said yes, sir, you can unstrap my overhaul strap from your side view mirror please. Oh, tater lived better, poor Tater, yeah old Tater, he was a good one, but yeah, that's my story about the moped, I think.
Speaker 2:Good story.
