[SPEAKER_04]: T-M-O-S, classic.

[SPEAKER_04]: Friday, flashback.

[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, we're jumping right in.

[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, you don't want to?

[SPEAKER_04]: No, it's fine.

[SPEAKER_04]: No, no, no, no.

[SPEAKER_04]: Well, no, no, we normally banter before we do it.

[SPEAKER_03]: Well, we've done it both ways.

[SPEAKER_04]: I know, I know, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go

[SPEAKER_04]: I don't think you might want to think about it.

[SPEAKER_04]: How do we rectify that?

[SPEAKER_05]: What's that?

[SPEAKER_05]: How do we rectify that?

[SPEAKER_04]: How do we rectify that?

[SPEAKER_04]: How do we rectify what Rob feeling like he lives in?

[SPEAKER_05]: No, no, no, no.

[SPEAKER_05]: You let them down.

[SPEAKER_05]: We can't just start with it then.

[SPEAKER_05]: We can't start with it.

[SPEAKER_04]: We can't start with it.

[SPEAKER_04]: The thing is, when we used to do it, it was kind of an add-on.

[SPEAKER_03]: Right.

[SPEAKER_03]: And maybe pre-recorded at some point.

[SPEAKER_03]: No, I don't think we ever pre-recorded it.

[SPEAKER_03]: We didn't.

[SPEAKER_04]: No, all right, so what you're saying is we should proceed it with happy talk and then sort of just curve ball Well, I wanted to share something because you know, that's what we do more than anything else We share I wanted to share with our listening audience that today's date December 16 Yes, um, it's no secret to many people that have listened to me for an extremely long period of time That back in the day and Rob Spuack will back me up on this

[SPEAKER_04]: that the Don Geronimo and Mike O'Mara schedule was was quite liberal, and I have to admit, I have to admit that this time of year, starting today, I'm feeling it.

[SPEAKER_04]: And I'm feeling that that old familiar pole of my attention span being shorter, right?

[SPEAKER_04]: Not all there, and I'm here to say it's because, well, in the old days, especially right at the end, we would have been four days into our

[SPEAKER_04]: vacation.

[SPEAKER_04]: Well, Mike in the old days, you know, you spent my head still kind of in that mode this time of year, right?

[SPEAKER_04]: It's understandable.

[SPEAKER_04]: It's understandable.

[SPEAKER_04]: Now we put in a people should be aware of the fact that as far as numbers of shows, we don't put the hours in because we do a shorter show.

[SPEAKER_04]: But as far as numbers of shows this past year,

[SPEAKER_04]: was a record center for me, and I think maybe for all the guys, because we just generated a tremendous amount of content.

[SPEAKER_04]: That doesn't change the fact that when we get to this day, right around this time of year.

[SPEAKER_04]: I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

[SPEAKER_04]: I'm sorry.

[SPEAKER_04]: I'm sorry.

[SPEAKER_04]: I'm sorry.

[SPEAKER_05]: All the years of what five weeks?

[SPEAKER_05]: Well, he speaks so clearly.

[SPEAKER_04]: Eight weeks.

[SPEAKER_04]: Eight weeks.

[SPEAKER_04]: Well, actually.

[SPEAKER_04]: Hold on.

[SPEAKER_04]: And eight weeks was eight weeks.

[SPEAKER_04]: Eight weeks was illegal.

[SPEAKER_04]: eight weeks was our contract is the next off-cheap.

[SPEAKER_04]: Then we had company holidays which we fudged on at Christmas time and I remember Rob, I think the all-time earliest departure prior to coming back after the new year was December 12th.

[SPEAKER_03]: Um, the way I recall it is that the they would sort of break out as a two weeks two weeks two weeks and then usually three ish, and you know, you speak globally of it, and it was a really it was the golden era of vacation, but it wasn't easy to get all that time off the squeeze in, but we always did what do you do for two months.

[SPEAKER_05]: You wouldn't get consecutively.

[SPEAKER_05]: I get that, but what do you do for a month?

[SPEAKER_04]: I've come down here.

[SPEAKER_04]: The big one would be December.

[SPEAKER_04]: Right.

[SPEAKER_04]: I'd be down here.

[SPEAKER_04]: I'd come down here.

[SPEAKER_04]: That's cool.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_05]: So you're kind of doing what you would have done in the past then.

[SPEAKER_05]: You should look at that way.

[SPEAKER_05]: You're in Florida.

[SPEAKER_05]: You're playing golf.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, but I still have to come down and see you guys every morning.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, and it's really not the show and it's up.

[SPEAKER_04]: No, no, when I'm talking about his right now, I love what I do.

[SPEAKER_04]: Don't get me wrong.

[SPEAKER_04]: This is because she is a get this is a dream.

[SPEAKER_04]: This is this is the dream dream scenario.

[SPEAKER_04]: You know, yeah.

[SPEAKER_04]: Tell that to my colon.

[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, tell that to my colon, but anyway, yeah, so no, that's what I would do.

[SPEAKER_04]: I would come down here and do that.

[SPEAKER_04]: So my point is that I just am kind of if I appear in the next few days of shows to be a little wobbly, you'll understand why got my daughter coming in Friday.

[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, that's a better mother-in-law coming in on Sunday.

[SPEAKER_05]: I think the holidays, everybody's kind of liked that around this.

[SPEAKER_04]: And you know, it brings everybody slow.

[SPEAKER_05]: No, and I don't think it's on you simply because even a guy like, you know,

[SPEAKER_05]: Like me, I have a lot going on outside of just regular work that is work.

[SPEAKER_05]: Your family's coming in town.

[SPEAKER_05]: My sister's coming in town this Friday with all the kids.

[SPEAKER_03]: And you know what it's like?

[SPEAKER_03]: You know what it is?

[SPEAKER_03]: It's holiday excitement.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's going to bring an extra shimmer to the show.

[SPEAKER_04]: Well, we should talk about that in the body of the show because what you call holiday excitement is what I call one giant pain in the end.

[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, you don't care for it.

[SPEAKER_04]: With that said, let's dive right in here.

[SPEAKER_04]: Craft recipe of the day, authored by none other than Pony Boy, Matthew Glove.

[SPEAKER_04]: Thank you, thank you.

[SPEAKER_04]: Son of Glenda, ladies and gentlemen, here we go.

[SPEAKER_04]: Let's face it.

[SPEAKER_04]: The holidays are tough for any young professional.

[SPEAKER_04]: What would all your lazy co-workers trying to grinch out on gift-giving or asking for extra days off?

[SPEAKER_04]: There it is.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yes.

[SPEAKER_04]: Don't they understand that every little bit counts?

[SPEAKER_04]: Wouldn't it be great if they had a work ethic as strong as yours?

[SPEAKER_04]: Let's get started.

[SPEAKER_04]: Evenly mixed two cartridges of black toner with two bottles of white out, thus canceling each other out in theory alone.

[SPEAKER_04]: Gather up one pound of cringle berries and trick them into disclosing their secrets before blending them into an embarrassed round face.

[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, embarrassed.

[SPEAKER_04]: Follow by bringing one gallon of gargoyle blood to a boil and a discarded cat house and destroy the evidence.

[SPEAKER_04]: Don't worry, if there happen to be a cat in there, it's gone now.

[SPEAKER_04]: Next, shred an entire issue of business fancy and stir it into the abyss, along with the tears of a scalded intern until the batter starts breathing on its own.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

[SPEAKER_04]: Use your drone to make two pounds of vertiginous chocolate chips into the batter with your, while your rich friend develops an app to complain about fluoride.

[SPEAKER_04]: If he can find the time.

[SPEAKER_04]: Seal the batter in a flash and unsafe container and begin delousing yourself publicly with a metal brush, preferably man-great brand.

[SPEAKER_05]: Oh yeah.

[SPEAKER_04]: When you're ready, carefully adorn yourself with your favorite enchanted leg.

[SPEAKER_04]: And if you've never been to Hawaii, now's a great time to consider a visit to the Oloha State.

[SPEAKER_04]: Start chatting something in English before rapidly switching to Spanish, and breaking the jar over your head in a shower of fragmentos.

[SPEAKER_04]: I, Ka-am-ma-estabueno.

[SPEAKER_04]: Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-

[SPEAKER_04]: If the juice was worth the squeeze, scrape the delicious little bastards out of the accursed microwave and remove your leg, you're safe now.

[SPEAKER_04]: Add your scholarship winner garnished the treats with bar graphs and crunch numbers.

[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, you write up an expense.

[SPEAKER_04]: So awfully pointed recipe is it?

[SPEAKER_04]: If you happen to remember the whole point of this wacky bit, at the last minute, staple on a generous helping of grab baby marshmallows.

[SPEAKER_04]: BOOM BAM!

[SPEAKER_04]: Now you're ready to serve them up at the next sales meeting.

[SPEAKER_04]: May God have mercy on your soul.

[SPEAKER_04]: Another holiday recipe from Crass.

[SPEAKER_04]: T.M.O.S.

[SPEAKER_04]: Classic.

[SPEAKER_04]: Hey, hey, the gang's all here.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, sir.

[SPEAKER_04]: Here we are.

[SPEAKER_04]: Disped by the neighborhood.

[SPEAKER_04]: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

[SPEAKER_04]: any more not being nice anymore.

[SPEAKER_04]: Well, that's why I took my son on a golf cart ride saw some people in the neighborhood didn't weigh that any of them.

[SPEAKER_04]: What are you doing?

[SPEAKER_04]: It's tough.

[SPEAKER_04]: There's a guy.

[SPEAKER_04]: There's a guy last night and watches if this is L.A.s.

[SPEAKER_04]: He walks his dogs with his golf cart.

[SPEAKER_04]: We've heard about that.

[SPEAKER_01]: That's what I told you about him.

[SPEAKER_04]: And what he does also.

[SPEAKER_03]: is we drive by him last night and remember I'm still reeling over over the the cold Christmas party got back up and up people should be reminded that it wasn't just that you weren't invited to the Christmas party but someone came and knocked on your door thinking your house was right the Christmas party was as that really at insults and my own exactly are so close right my could walk over there and not even walk you get a window and pass them a drink

[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_04]: Are you ready?

[SPEAKER_04]: How close it is?

[SPEAKER_04]: We could go to that party and keep our baby baby monitor with us.

[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, yeah.

[SPEAKER_04]: We've got a baby monitor signal just like it's three feet across the way.

[SPEAKER_04]: So this guy, uh, we go buy him sometimes when I'm taking my kid out for his little golf cart ride that he loves in the evening.

[SPEAKER_04]: Sure.

[SPEAKER_04]: And we drive by him and he normally sits in his wife and he's done his 90s like this.

[SPEAKER_04]: That's the way it does and and I wait and he doesn't wait back and this time Carlos says There he is you guys don't wait that don't wait them and this time I drove by I'm like this And I drove by and say you're him right this is me the whole time You got your case follow him as you just stare And any and any and anyway and anyway because it's tough love they're like children down here

[SPEAKER_04]: like children.

[SPEAKER_03]: That's the way it is.

[SPEAKER_03]: Now, but the thing is, is you shouldn't have to coercive into waving, can you think in the, in the bowels of your mind?

[SPEAKER_04]: Is there, I'm not being Christian Robbs, Pe-Wack.

[SPEAKER_04]: I'm not being a good Christian.

[SPEAKER_03]: No, no, it's not that you are being a good Christian.

[SPEAKER_03]: As a matter of fact, right now you're the best Christian you've ever been, you're a attending services.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_03]: But is there anything you've done outwardly that could have annoyed the interior?

[SPEAKER_04]: No, you know, I'm, I'm beginning to think about.

[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_04]: But the other day, so I get out yesterday afternoon in Florida sunshine to do what I love to do, which is to swing the golf club, and I'm up on the driving range, and there's this f-stick in front of me, and I'm hitting off a mat, because on Monday they make you hit off the synthetic mat, and my golfTs are kind of spraying up in the air, and they're flying around, and I said, man, theseTs are flying all over the place, and the guy doesn't turn around and goes, you should use shorterTs.

[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, man, I really, I was so, you know what I was released.

[SPEAKER_04]: I was so tempted at the top of us.

[SPEAKER_04]: And there are 30 people up there of just turning around and going, Hey, pal, you, that's what I, that's what I wanted to say.

[SPEAKER_04]: That's because, because I'm here, I'm here with it.

[SPEAKER_04]: I'm here.

[SPEAKER_04]: We know that we are the 55 year old man with the younger wife and the little baby.

[SPEAKER_04]: We know that we, we know we know we're the aberration now, but I'm getting tired of it.

[SPEAKER_04]: I'm getting better.

[SPEAKER_04]: I'm getting fed.

[SPEAKER_05]: He's just like a caller.

[SPEAKER_05]: They're like, you know, man.

[SPEAKER_04]: There weren't no rules.

[SPEAKER_04]: That little dog abounds I had to go home to.

[SPEAKER_04]: What, when I was next door to my neighbor, Richard, you know, he was 70 whatever, and I was in my 40s, and there was no, there was a connection.

[SPEAKER_04]: There was no judgment.

[SPEAKER_04]: There was no judgment.

[SPEAKER_04]: You know, we didn't recommend regular.

[SPEAKER_04]: We were, we were pals, right?

[SPEAKER_04]: My buddies, it was my best friend in the neighborhood.

[SPEAKER_04]: And he was 40 years older than I was.

[SPEAKER_04]: You know what I mean?

[SPEAKER_04]: It was just, come on.

[SPEAKER_03]: Perhaps, give me a break here.

[SPEAKER_03]: Perhaps people are kinder in the old Dominion.

[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know what it is.

[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, no.

[SPEAKER_04]: I haven't even been waiting to say that.

[SPEAKER_04]: Just a thought.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_03]: See that stuff?

[SPEAKER_04]: Rob, did you say that when you were on 495 this morning?

[SPEAKER_04]: I did not say that.

[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_04]: Thank you very much.

[SPEAKER_05]: You tell Carla to ugly it up.

[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, yeah.

[SPEAKER_04]: like well she can be beautiful when she's around the house well she knows out like come on yeah to be honest with you to be honest with you she's not capable of that move move she is not my wife is someone who is not really capable of leaving the house to go to any public setting whatsoever she'll run up to the grocery store the drug store like in sweats and without a guy but if we are

[SPEAKER_04]: Right whatsoever whether it's lunch.

[SPEAKER_05]: She doesn't have a million dollars.

[SPEAKER_04]: He always doesn't but the fact is I Might I don't know you know this is not good.

[SPEAKER_04]: You know that my attitude should change But it is I joke about it.

[SPEAKER_04]: I kid about it on the radio frankly that social event the other night.

[SPEAKER_04]: I have no idea

[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know what it was really all about and you know you take a big risk when you start bitching It could have been anything and you know what but I don't care because I'm just And you know what Mike if you had been invited your first reaction would have been dread Hmm Am I right?

[SPEAKER_03]: No, I don't think so I think so I think you could have gone and made a night of it, but would it you would have said hey Carla You know fstick invited us over to the house.

[SPEAKER_03]: Oh god.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's gonna suck

[SPEAKER_04]: I will tell you this that I have now because of, look, you're absolutely right.

[SPEAKER_04]: Are we up anybody's ass here?

[SPEAKER_04]: No, we're not.

[SPEAKER_04]: We're not trying to, you know, knock on doors.

[SPEAKER_04]: Hey, all right.

[SPEAKER_04]: Carlos has been really cool like Halloween, some of the ladies she knows in the neighborhood, handing out little gift bags and stuff like that.

[SPEAKER_04]: She's doing the same thing for Christmas time.

[SPEAKER_04]: But at the same time, we're not over the top, because you know what?

[SPEAKER_04]: You know how I don't respond well with that.

[SPEAKER_04]: I don't respond with written to that hungry social thing, but at the same time, we're not, we don't reject it either.

[SPEAKER_04]: Right.

[SPEAKER_04]: And I will be honest with you, maybe it is the vibe that I give off, but I don't think so.

[SPEAKER_04]: And I try to go up and have conversations with people, but it's just, it's the women that are caddy.

[SPEAKER_05]: And they're most women, with all due respect to the men in your neighborhood, at that age, aren't you really

[SPEAKER_05]: run by your women?

[SPEAKER_04]: Well, to be honest with you, and most men in this neighborhood, do they really give a rat to ask about anything?

[SPEAKER_03]: No, no, they give a rat to ask about one thing, Mike.

[SPEAKER_03]: They say, right now they're thinking, no, they're saying, every day is a blessing.

[SPEAKER_03]: No, what they're saying is happy wife happy life.

[SPEAKER_03]: And if the wife is against something, they're going to have to be against it, too.

[SPEAKER_04]: Right.

[SPEAKER_04]: And otherwise, it's going to be a brief look.

[SPEAKER_04]: Let me tell you what it is.

[SPEAKER_04]: I think what it is is ultimately as much as I have absolutely no regrets about moving down.

[SPEAKER_04]: Right.

[SPEAKER_04]: Ultimately, it is a new neighborhood.

[SPEAKER_04]: And I think anybody, probably, how about the people in the military that listen to this show, we go from town to town.

[SPEAKER_04]: I think even though they have structures in the military where they help people with stuff like that, I think ultimately you're moving down to an area you've never been in, you've spent decades in another part of the world and I think even when I'm up north in New England, I've got family up there so that's a different story and down here it's just

[SPEAKER_04]: It's a period of a of a just and one of those what if you're your bishop say he said if you want to have a friend be a friend Is an bishop he was like a ministry wasn't a picture.

[SPEAKER_04]: What would the arts what would the arch bishops say but my sister the monsignors said All the other day, but you know by the way

[SPEAKER_04]: I want to jump in with this.

[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_04]: I was talking to Rob before the show about this as much as I love to slam Saturday night live.

[SPEAKER_04]: I have to give them props because as much as I like to critique them, I still like that that live show is on every week.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yes.

[SPEAKER_04]: And the fact is this past weekend, they get a little more credit because I think they, they put a few more funny sketches out there than normal and I thought it was pretty good stuff.

[SPEAKER_04]: Even your guy,

[SPEAKER_04]: I thought it was terrific.

[SPEAKER_03]: I liked it to play.

[SPEAKER_04]: I liked it to play.

[SPEAKER_04]: It was, yeah, something clause made me laugh out loud.

[SPEAKER_03]: That, you know, that really speaks to the writing, because not only do you dislike him, he dislike him singing.

[SPEAKER_03]: I know, but it was funny.

[SPEAKER_04]: It was because everybody, basically, even if you're bad at Christmas time, everybody gets a little sluffin' that was that to me.

[SPEAKER_04]: That made me smile.

[SPEAKER_05]: I think you're in a good place right now.

[SPEAKER_05]: One, you're having a tough time, I guess, you know, acclimating to you and you surroundings.

[SPEAKER_05]: But you've got your family on the way.

[SPEAKER_04]: You've got your daughter on the witch and you're just in time to get the call from the doctor yesterday after five days You know telling me that I had seed if again.

[SPEAKER_03]: Thank you very much.

[SPEAKER_03]: I appreciate that You know what this is actually your poised to correct this and here's what I know with your with your family coming in It would be really easy to just take the immediate neighbors and say hey Why don't you come over for it come on over.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, you don't have to be invited there.

[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, then yes

[SPEAKER_03]: Hell no, why not?

[SPEAKER_03]: No, I don't know.

[SPEAKER_05]: I think that's a question you talking.

[SPEAKER_05]: No, I mean, that's a DJ in you talking.

[SPEAKER_05]: That is the DJ.

[SPEAKER_05]: I was going to try to be so sincere.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's there.

[SPEAKER_03]: But don't you see how with a minimum, a minimum amount of effort, you could fix it just by saying, hey, you know what?

[SPEAKER_03]: Come on over.

[SPEAKER_03]: Come on in my house.

[SPEAKER_04]: You know, it might be a combination of also what's happening here.

[SPEAKER_04]: This week, Mrs. O'Mara is working down here full time from the home.

[SPEAKER_04]: I am working down here.

[SPEAKER_04]: The little one was, let's just say, a little more needy and I read, I'm not sure what, but I read them two books.

[SPEAKER_04]: I read in one book that I don't even know the title of because it's basically polar bear with the fur that he rubs, you know, it's a tactile book.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, of course.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_04]: and the other book I read is one morning in Maine by Robert McCloskey and I read it to him and uh... today although I like to be considered father of the year uh... after the eight-threading in a row of the book uh... daddy was a little uh... burn missomera was uh... over at her desk in her corner and it was kind of like rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr rrr r

[SPEAKER_01]: Well, what about reading him copy?

[SPEAKER_05]: He's anything he'll notice a difference.

[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, that'd be great.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, maybe he likes Matt Welden.

[SPEAKER_04]: Come on over here, Mike.

[SPEAKER_04]: Michael, little Michael, men's underwear has been basically the same.

[SPEAKER_05]: Well, I'm just saying.

[SPEAKER_03]: But you can't do versions of the one style.

[SPEAKER_03]: Is it also, is it too soon to tell him that, you know, when baby accidenty Santa Claus hates that?

[SPEAKER_04]: the tree has been trimmed and I the last thing I said the story three is good trip.

[SPEAKER_04]: I put the star I put the star so bright at the top of the tree and for some reason inside or outside is it on the lini.

[SPEAKER_04]: It's out of the law when I, wow, it is gorgeous.

[SPEAKER_03]: He must post a picture.

[SPEAKER_04]: I think you'll tell you why it's perfect.

[SPEAKER_04]: When you have a 16 month old, what's perfect about soon to be 17 month old, right?

[SPEAKER_04]: When you have a soon to be 17 month old, you have the tree outside and what do you have?

[SPEAKER_04]: You're able to see it.

[SPEAKER_04]: And you have a big glass.

[SPEAKER_03]: It's her medically sealed.

[SPEAKER_04]: The child and the tree.

[SPEAKER_04]: Perfect.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_03]: Now, do the dogs ever, do the dogs ever, hassle your tree?

[SPEAKER_04]: Um, I think that in the past, uh, especially with a real tree, yeah, dogs are known to, I'm sure we're not the only ones that have had dogs, soil trees.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_03]: And I know Frankie loves to poop behind the tree.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, Frankie and by the way, that issue, maybe it's because of the size of the house.

[SPEAKER_04]: Maybe it's being down here, but those days are gone.

[SPEAKER_04]: My dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs, my dogs

[SPEAKER_04]: You know what it is here it is.

[SPEAKER_04]: I think that next year in 2015 is I'm already thinking about the way I'm laying things out and that I will be making more of an effort and I will be trying it But it just feels like I've been down here a very long time and I feel as though even in the morning sometimes when I take the dogs out and I see the neighbors Right I feel like they're turning around and walking away when I go out there.

[SPEAKER_04]: I feel for like persona non-grad.

[SPEAKER_04]: And I think it's my own parents

[SPEAKER_05]: I know I accept that but I think that's what it is maybe you should turn in it's tough because it's almost just Like you had to stare or mean mug that guy down for a hello Maybe you should let everybody know how famous you truly are people love that people are you know even though you're You're more show busy and you're not a full timer down there, right?

[SPEAKER_04]: on the golf course card, and when somebody asked me what I do, I give them the sentence.

[SPEAKER_04]: I talk about three guys, both in each other's balls.

[SPEAKER_04]: I talk about the fact that we're all radio people, and then I hand them one of these.

[SPEAKER_04]: And these probably go into the bottom of every golf card here.

[SPEAKER_04]: It's time to wrap your golf card.

[SPEAKER_04]: I'm not allowed to wrap the golf card I'm not gonna be allowed to but I would be assigned to have a tour bag with the show logo on instead of saying hooters It says the Michael Marisho

[SPEAKER_04]: As a matter of fact, I would be more than willing to pursue that, if I was given the nod from my partners to do that.

[SPEAKER_05]: What is it to a golf bag go for?

[SPEAKER_02]: Merry Christmas.

[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you.

[SPEAKER_04]: Give her a best to make her hot, Matt.

[SPEAKER_04]: You always have to get the last one in.

[SPEAKER_04]: Let me explain.

[SPEAKER_04]: When we're scraping these people, when I cut them loose, it's like when someone's coming up on a boat and then you cut that, the rope and they're falling back into the sea and Rob, if you reach over and pull, you're going to pull the whole boat over.

[SPEAKER_03]: I just thought you'd enjoy a mention of something from 20 years ago.

[SPEAKER_04]: Wild Bill Hudnut.

[SPEAKER_04]: There's not one person that remembers that, but yeah, I was there.

[SPEAKER_04]: Wild Bill Hudnut was the mayor of Indianapolis, and he gave down an either key to this.

[SPEAKER_04]: Wow, that's a nice, it's pretty cool.

[SPEAKER_04]: All right, personalized golf bags.

[SPEAKER_04]: I've got it.

[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, you're up.

[SPEAKER_04]: There you go.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, let me 11 every minute of it.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, come on now.

[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I obviously think this guy is $650.

[SPEAKER_03]: Obviously the bag would have the show logo on it, but could they put a photograph of a district he's face on it.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that would be really good.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that would be really really good.

[SPEAKER_04]: That's what I want to do.

[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I mean, if you want attention No, I want this.

[SPEAKER_04]: This is what he wants to rob.

[SPEAKER_04]: That's what I want.

[SPEAKER_04]: You want that?

[SPEAKER_04]: You want that?

[SPEAKER_04]: The logo.

[SPEAKER_05]: No, our other logo would pop the one in back of your car or something.

[SPEAKER_05]: Does our camera autofocus?

[SPEAKER_05]: I think it has a it's a depth it's a depth the deal.

[SPEAKER_03]: I think when he gets too close Mike the logo and back of you would probably be better because that'll pop or what about all of our face and square?

[SPEAKER_05]: Ah, yeah, I think I just sort of look so good on a go.

[SPEAKER_05]: I think that the name itself would be great.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, and the website.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yes.

[SPEAKER_05]: Are you going to hold it up?

[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, here we go.

[SPEAKER_05]: Here we go.

[SPEAKER_05]: Here we go.

[SPEAKER_05]: People, if there's a Skype day of your U-Streme person, oh, I can look at that.

[SPEAKER_05]: Wow.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, that's awesome.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_05]: Well, Mike, if that's really what you want for Christmas, then I don't see why we couldn't say no to that.

[SPEAKER_03]: I think you should have that.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_03]: And then for a, you can have garlic cut and promote for Mike's bag.

[SPEAKER_05]: If you guys want to go ahead and order it, uh, it will order it.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yes.

[SPEAKER_05]: We'll order it.

[SPEAKER_05]: We'll order it because clearly you won't.

[SPEAKER_05]: So we'll order it for you.

[SPEAKER_05]: Well, in, I mean, you have to send us exactly what you want because I know you don't want.

[SPEAKER_04]: I don't want to just go on it.

[SPEAKER_05]: No, but you have to send us which bag you want.

[SPEAKER_03]: And this one, a tour bag, a tour bag, a tour bag, and you're just pointing, you know, it's really, also the thing is we don't understand the game as you do, Mike, where it's called, okay, it's called a copy, or you write this down, get a pen out.

[SPEAKER_05]: I'll tell you exactly what it is, all right.

[SPEAKER_05]: Here we go, for the record, this will not go well.

[SPEAKER_04]: No, this is gonna be great, this is what it is.

[SPEAKER_04]: Go to, you can go to any, just just look up, you know, I'll go tour, it's tour, it's tour, it's tour,

[SPEAKER_05]: Okay, tour staff bag.

[SPEAKER_04]: Rob's few eggs bag.

[SPEAKER_04]: That's it.

[SPEAKER_04]: It's tour.

[SPEAKER_03]: What am I always thinking about bag?

[SPEAKER_04]: Tour staff bag.

[SPEAKER_04]: That's really good tour staff.

[SPEAKER_03]: It was bad.

[SPEAKER_04]: Tom, stand you Gavin in your garage.

[SPEAKER_04]: A bag.

[SPEAKER_04]: Why?

[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, put it in a nine iron, driver, and you're Tom.

[SPEAKER_04]: And they have cart bags, too.

[SPEAKER_04]: Now what's the difference?

[SPEAKER_04]: Well, there's slight differences, just a little tiny thing.

[SPEAKER_03]: Well, can you explain?

[SPEAKER_03]: Because you're the man who goes out and hits the links.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, you're going to want a car bag.

[SPEAKER_03]: You don't care your bag.

[SPEAKER_03]: You're going on tour.

[SPEAKER_03]: Hey, you know what, the kind of links he's interested in are not a computer, but it's a tour staff bag would be very, very cool.

[SPEAKER_04]: Is that a brand or it's a tour staff?

[SPEAKER_04]: It's not a brand.

[SPEAKER_04]: It's a style of bag.

[SPEAKER_04]: So they're a pro staff bags.

[SPEAKER_04]: You guys looking and figure out what you want to do.

[SPEAKER_04]: It's a UFO tour golf.

[SPEAKER_04]: That's a that's the UFO tour.

[SPEAKER_03]: That's all the Martians.

[SPEAKER_04]: You have a UFO tour golf dot com.

[SPEAKER_04]: That's all.

[SPEAKER_04]: Look it up and figure it out.

[SPEAKER_05]: Is this something Rob and I are splitting or what's going on here?

[SPEAKER_05]: Because I don't want to do this.

[SPEAKER_04]: This is something that's coming out of my income as well, if you know what I mean.

[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_04]: All right.

[SPEAKER_05]: But is that considered your present?

[SPEAKER_05]: Yes.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yes.

[SPEAKER_04]: I'm fine with that.

[SPEAKER_04]: I'm very confident.

[SPEAKER_03]: I hope you guys are off the hook.

[SPEAKER_03]: You guys are off the hook.

[SPEAKER_03]: Wow.

[SPEAKER_03]: I hope I saved the receipt for the jeweler.

[SPEAKER_03]: That's good.

[SPEAKER_05]: That's because I've got you thousands of we've got Amazon has a return policy.

[SPEAKER_04]: Thank you.

[SPEAKER_04]: I think you're a rock-upy peeking drink here.

[SPEAKER_04]: By the way, a little tip of the cap to a Mr. Tab Patterson who is a very funny guy on Facebook, Rob Spuacs, a little thread with Johnny Midnight and Tab Patterson, the three, the gang of three, as I like to call them, a picture of Frax and Otra.

[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know where tab got it.

[SPEAKER_04]: It's amazing when he finds it.

[SPEAKER_04]: It was a picture of Frank Sinatra and this little bungalow and Frank is sitting there and it looks like a dog is biting his right hand but he's unfazed by it and he's sitting in front of a cocktail table and on the cocktail table is this giant ball ball that's filled with cigarettes.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, packs of cigarettes like trick a treatars would get and the thing that I'm amazed at when I look at, would you put that photo

[SPEAKER_03]: something in that and if you go back 50 some years it seems to me this furniture has changed chairs used to be tiny and tables were huge yes I'm gonna put these folding chairs around this 40 foot coffee table and what's on the coffee table packs and packs of camel cigarettes and some and so many funny comments where that bowl should be on top of the refrigerator.

[SPEAKER_04]: That's somebody, that's somebody who may have lived in the Omera, where where the Kent cigarettes used to live on top of the refrigerator always.

[SPEAKER_03]: Wow, at Big Daddy's house, the cigarettes wouldn't, I can only remember the very end of my grandparents smoking their Winston cigarettes, and they were in the cabinet with the medicine.

[SPEAKER_03]: Wow, it's like, yeah.

[SPEAKER_04]: Daddy needs a cigarette.

[SPEAKER_04]: We had the cigarettes that were located on top of our family refrigerator, and then the liquor cabinet was down immediately to the left ground level of The what was under the sink, so you had all of the chemicals and things that could kill you under the sink and right to the left right

[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_04]: As a matter of fact, when we were moving my mom out of the house, I tell the story about reaching in the back and finding finding the bottle of early times whiskey with three fingers left in it.

[SPEAKER_04]: And I know that the last person to drink out of that was my late, late uncle bills she did all that did all the bottles have the Mr. Yuck sticker on there.

[SPEAKER_04]: But that was just the type.

[SPEAKER_04]: But I grew up with that.

[SPEAKER_04]: I was I was a young enough kid to remember Mr. Yuck and there

[SPEAKER_04]: I swear to God, Oscar, there may be like one sticker that my mom put on the inside of the door.

[SPEAKER_04]: It was easier that way.

[SPEAKER_03]: It applies to that.

[SPEAKER_03]: His dream.

[SPEAKER_03]: His dream.

[SPEAKER_04]: His dream.

[SPEAKER_04]: His dream.

[SPEAKER_03]: When you moved out of the zit, your house in Manassas.

[SPEAKER_03]: You had a floor level liquor cabinet as well.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, absolutely.

[SPEAKER_04]: Is that because of you, when you grow it, did I ever point out to you in that particular cabinet that we never painted the inside of it, no, when I when I moved in to that house, that that cabinet had had food stops in it for years.

[SPEAKER_04]: And it had a stench that never went away as a matter of fact when you put glasses in there You take them out and you'd usually have to wash them again because they'd have some sort of nasty like seasoning powder garlic smell to them That was there forever.

[SPEAKER_03]: I assume you know kitchen storage is always at a premium But the thing is I don't know that I'd want to store food at a ground level cabinet It seems like you'd be in inviting vermin, right?

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_05]: I would seem I mean again think about it this way Especially in an older home, right?

[SPEAKER_05]: That's what you don't want to do, even now with my condo because it's such a so old, right?

[SPEAKER_05]: If there's any open bag, I freak out because I said, this is where it starts.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yep, this is what happens, this is where it gets, my skinny pigs, everything.
