yes and our fantasy football games are one of my fantasy football games is in
the flux the other one I lost by 46 points Thank You Christian McCaffrey I
hate you very much anyway so this football game not the most interesting
part of our Thanksgiving Day weekend though Corey no not at all big weekends
what okay what did you get into this weekend well the most important thing is
that Brendan came down to visit brother Bremen flight down Thursday and then if
there's a Wednesday Wednesday is the day that berthing came down and yeah it was
pretty good it's Turkey that's my Brendan impression yes anybody who's
struggling for a minute like if it's not like all my words were very worried very
articulate very plan for that reason and I saw that Rachel got you out of the
apartment yes in a button-up long-sleeve shirt
yeah on the west side of Los Angeles yeah I know which only means that
Brendan must be here there's no other reason why all of those things would be
true well yeah I mean like Brendan was the one who said
let's go to let's go to Santa Monica and I think okay
usually I just need a reason to go to Santa Monica yeah and a reason that
doesn't include me being there like six o'clock you know right I don't want to
like it it's it's pretty well known here in Los Angeles that if you live on the
west side and you're inviting somebody who lives on the east side to hang out
or downtown or downtown I mean like you know we're more east of the west side
though that's anywhere east of La Brea I guess okay I would consider the east
side for this this purpose that's real far west for you anyway okay
sure sure LaBrea yeah the brain is like I could
throw a rock and hit the west side from the Brea it's not that far right we're
getting real local I knew it yes so anybody who's on the west side
yeah it just makes it it always seemed like people were like hey come over to
my place for dinner at 6:30 on the west side I'm just like nope 45 I'm not
trying to do all that I'm not trying to make all these extra steps yeah I mean I
like you just not that much like you right yes but it was actually this
weekend it was great because everyone left LA but Thanksgiving Day holidays as
we've talked about nobody actually is from LA so during Thanksgiving and how
there are holidays like it people leave the city of Los Angeles and go elsewhere
like I did flew to El Paso El Paso Texas City that's exactly right
yeah did you know El Paso Texas elevation
4,000 feet hmm so not quite the mile-high City but pretty high up what
we would call the high desert here in California where it gets very hot in the
day very cold at night and at a high altitude but it was nice
and we got to see some family and got to meet new people and dog bites and
stories that will live forever I mean just generally it was a it was an
interesting weekend and I have to say yeah I've spent a lot of time making fun
of Texas Texas is a place that is it should be May 5 didn't frankly let's
just say it should be made fun of
you could buy sixty acres that is a 15-minute drive from downtown El Paso
for $50,000 yeah and I said say what like sixty acres for 50,000 that in
Maryland I definitely couldn't get that in California that's a hell of a deal
you can barely get 1/6 of an acre for $50,000 I don't think you could get 1/6
of an acre I feel like I couldn't get an acre of air in a building for $50,000
you know just just the right to build a condo there yeah yeah yeah but uh yeah
so what was interesting it's like that time when we went to Vegas for dirty 30
yeah we were just like chit-chatting with the with the cab driver because I
don't think uber was there in Vegas at the time now it wasn't actually they
actually took a real cab yeah and we were in the cabin we were just sort of
like you know bullshit and we're just like so uh you live in Vegas he's like
yeah you know I live you know just a short walk away from the strip and it's
like oh what's your what's your rent look like he's like that's a little bit
high I mean it's a it's a two-bedroom and I think we're spending like off the
strip yeah two bedroom and it's about like $900 or something like that and
we're like $900 each he's like no no $900 of the whole thing all right then
oh so many people in that blue oh yeah so anyway Texas wide open and everything
was very cheap and I didn't see as many guns as I thought I would everybody has
them but they don't actually take them out
just keep them keep on the low down yeah I can West Texas is like oh and I got a
gun safe it's there there I just don't have them people in Socorro which is
actually where I was not I'll pass I was in Socorro Texas keep animals in the
back yard I had a horse if anybody follows me on instagram at Robert and
cheek you would have seen a picture of a horse that I stumbled into when I went
out the back door to get some fresh air and I go there's a horse here hello
horse yeah there's a dog in the house hey dog you want to come out to the back
oh wait there's a horse back here this is weird
oh yeah so people just keep goats and horses and cow
in their backyard I so I drove through Texas once yeah like on the way I mean
like I've been there here and there for different things but I never really got
to explore the most the most I've been able to like sort of explore Texas was
my drive back from film school yeah the 2013 and all I could think to
myself is just like god it must be intolerable so there's so much space
that it's just like you're so far away from everything but it sort of got the
same I mean like in Maryland at the very least I could say to somebody like you
know like I could meet somebody new and be like where do you live and almost
anywhere where they say is going to be within charitably two hours from where I
live yes like there's no way that you could you know with somebody in
California I could say where do you live and they could live all the way up near
Oregon yeah and it could be like a 15 hour drive or you could be like you know
oh I'm in El Paso it's like where do you live Dallas it's like okay so that's
fucking seven hours away or eight hours but again that's like California
California is a big State ya know what it'd be somebody or
somebody could say hey where do you live oh I live on the San Gabriel all right
15 hours that's cool it's a long drive sure yeah but yeah that's what they were
talking about people that they have family in Houston they have friends in
Houston it's an eight-hour drive sometimes you make the eight-hour Drive
but I mean for us that's like Ocean City to that we went to Detroit in eight
hours we drove to Detroit in eight hours yeah that's like all of these for a
special occasion I mean we went to Detroit on a special occasion we didn't
go there just for the fun of it we would I would I live you know in the middle of
Texas no I'll pass was the third largest city in Texas is it yes if you include
all the Metroplex because by that definition Fort Worth Dallas Fort Worth
is a single Metroplex but it's two separate cities now yeah two separate
cities with a single Metroplex yeah and then the El Paso Socorro Juarez
Metroplex and a Houston metro player it's bigger than Austin though yes
really according to our hosts yes the city in Texas I feel like Austin was
numb three yeah followed by maybe San
Francisco and then El Paso San Francisco or San Antonio yeah it's also my thinkin
it's only the it's also the with the large the only major Texas city in
mountain time which we figured out because I set my clock forward manually
and then had to set it back in another hour because I went too far forward but
I felt like guy should be the guy who gets a hat and boots felt like I was
gonna be the thing I was gonna do it's like I'm kind of person I do like that
whenever you go somewhere you automatically like start like figuring
out how you're going to acclimate to this place you know yeah well my
traveling partner wore her boots to the airport which seems like a bad idea
in my mind not the worst thing we took to the airport different story for
personal or that's a friendly that's a friendly story
Fred's only sorry but you know and then war did not wear her boots the entire
time but they're actually in Texas just so so just to clarify for the podcast I
use because I don't want them spreading your El Paso lies share number one is
Houston has to be expected number two is San
Antonio number three is Dallas and then I guess if we're including the Arlington
part of it yes then Dallas Arlington would or I'm sorry dallas fort worth
arlington which is all part of those metrics yeah wait technically probably
eclipse yeah that would eclipse Houston yeah
it's number one yeah yeah but I'm saying Austin is fourth and then Fort Worth is
five and then El Paso is six so I'll pass it becomes
three if you bump Arlington no it's just forward just Fort Worth Fort Worth and
Dallas together you're making three Austin would be four and then I'll pass
it would be five okay five so five if you're not splitting all these things up
anyway it's a very large place very nice place everyone should visit El Paso I
got to see a stretch of the border wall which was interesting
what's the 26 biggest city in Texas Tech's Arkana
it's denim denim I'm gonna be funny of you you would have Denton for for
Hollywood and then went from from there to Denton Texas what major screenplay or
movie takes place in Denton Texas mm-hmm I don't know trivia trivia what is it
the Rocky Horror Picture yes indeed I didn't so I did not get boots I did not
get a hat talking about making a trip down to the ranch seconds left to score
four points Tennessee let me down they will unfortunately Houston's on the
field so it's not gonna I think we're both gonna be out of luck on this one so
that's unfortunate fortunately for me it means that I am
going in still first in the playoffs I'm pretty sure I'm pretty sure that's
that's it for me yeah assuming I might have to do one of those like alright so
every single matchup has to go down this exact way for me to win anyway so we're
talking about maybe going to the ranch in sonora going to the our fingers
grocery or some point adjustments yeah maybe some places if one point is what I
need the legs anyway I think about going down to the Arizona family ranch at some
point maybe not for New Year's but some point soon maybe I'll get a cowboy hat
and a pair boots down there if I'm gonna go ride a horse and now maybe you rope
some cattle yeah shoot some deer and then maybe after that you can try and
bring back the urban cowboy thing I mean maybe I feel like if anybody could bring
it back it would be me you're the rugged go looks of the urban cowboy I think so
I think that's I don't know my character on Red Dead Redemption looks a lot like
me with his hair style and his beard so I think that's I think going to Texas
right after a huge round of Red Dead Redemption for you is like I'm looking a
little shot I'm just like thank God nobody gave me a
gun I would have just gone crazy shoot the gunsmith yes what'd he do he
was there no he's got an illegal poker game upstairs I was just gonna rob the
poker game and then I lasso the wrong person $700 worth of bounty later it's a
problem it's a problem anyway oh that's right Dave redemption talk highway so
but Thanksgiving was great it was great to meet people is great to be in El Paso
I really enjoyed it I recommend to everybody travel there you had a
discipling rivalry that went to uh okay mr. Brendan on both ends by like three
hours yeah which also made was longest longest
weekend Accord slightly yeah which doesn't mean I drove to and from LAX
eight different times what I would say is in the future we should really
communicate better well so here's the other thing too Rachel went with me to
pick up Brendon and to pick up you guys yes mostly because you don't have to pay
any tolls if you have HOV people in the express lane with Fast Pass well I mean
with the Fast Pass and the HOV oh yeah zero dollars and toll if you could say
I'm at Plus right right yeah so Rachel graciously agreed to go with
me on both both times but then she was also like you know like the plane lands
at 6:30 so we have to leave here by 5:45 and I'm like no I want to be on the road
I want to be on the 105 when they land that would be the best-case scenario see
I'm like it but we went and ya know if I'm at the 110 105 interchange by the
time you land then the remaining 20 minutes or so that'll take me to get to
LAX is usually the amount of time it'll take for you to get out of the airport
but we were in the reserved southern terminal which is only American Eagle so
is that the one that's like in the middle of everything
yeah you have to take a bus yeah yeah yeah like your bus is passing planes on
the tarmac right yeah and it's scary shit that's one where yeah so I was
saying to Rachel like when when I when she was giving me the pieces of
information that she thought that was going to help her cause of me leaving
earlier yes and then like we're on the 110 and she's just like oh
they're waiting for the bus to get from their terminal I'm just leaving
I know exactly what fucking terminal there is yes there's no way we're in the
worst fucking term I'll ever be here's the problem lax you can go right in like
you can you can take the highway and then get off and get on Sepulveda and
get into LAX yeah it's annoying but you know it's easy enough but the problem is
if the person isn't there you have to do this I have to drive 20 miles away from
the airport and find someplace to park yes and then start heading back yes and
then that's when it becomes complicated that's why I don't want to like I would
rather given I think I could have left when you told us that you landed
probably that's probably the best time to have left yeah did you guys go to the
cellphone ah no just made it ran yeah well we just went to you know to the
area of LAX and then I didn't get on Sepulveda I just sort of drove around
randomly okay until eventually I heard that you were there yeah so we were for
anybody who knows LAX we were in yeah Cory can he does have a man bunny I'm
sorry Ashley is watching in the in the chat for those of you who are listening
to this on recording and not live on facebook.com forward slash or the anthem
which it should be you join us in a chat Ashley is with us a fan of the show
Ashley in the chat asking if Cory has a man but now currently it's not in the
form of man now it's just long see so when the I take the headphones and I
just sort of like push it back yeah so when it does that it creates that sort
of like however heavy effect up here but I can definitely man yes and he was man
bunting it all weekend long well well not what I'm cleaning and the hair goes
in your face and it's really annoying I know a lot of the women know what I'm
talking about when when the hair just like falls down
you get it out of your face so that's what I do I just run it up alternatively
I have a plan cut my hair cut your yes by the way I not sponsoring the show at
all let me let me get down here not sponsoring the show but shout out to
Great Clips is ever gonna be able to steal your so I paid for ten haircuts in
advance and I get a card where every haircut is 1099 yeah if you pay for ten
in advance yeah so if at any point you would like to go
to it uh two great clips I'll even give you one on me I'll give you one on me
the the tip is on you and you better tip well because those ladies are they take
care of me they're struggling to get by I'm already Oh God Ashley's in support
of the man bun sorry Ashley a nice yes honey I enjoyed that
Oh Ashley also has a man bun rocking right now so good for you good for you
actually I'll but no it's when your hair gets to a certain length it's the only
way to operate I like it nobody likes it that's that true people
like it comfortable it's got to be hot annoying yeah but then I'm gonna get
home to Maryland and aren't I gonna be glad I have a lot of hair I mean I or
you just put on a hat like I'm gonna do doesn't have you got one of those Elmer
Fudd hats yeah and then you get to wear one of those cool Russian hats I mean I
feel like it's the best anyway so um yeah you made a lot trips the airport
but we gave you the fast pass so that was fine
that that by the way is worth its weight in gold yes just being able to fast pass
past all the fast pass pass all the traffic yes got it
it's a LAX is I'm sure it real quick just because I I saw this a lot last
week and I wanted to make a note about it there were a lot of people sharing
videos of what la traffic looks like right now pre-thanksgiving day rush yes
and they're just showing like helicopter shots of like lines of white headlights
and red taillights I'm an opposite size and it just looks
like it's nothing about a parking lot yeah but if you look carefully those
cars are actually moving yes very very slowly but moving
and the the thing that most people don't understand is this is what it's like
every single day I know you guys think it's bad it's not that bad I was like
watching these videos I'm like oh it's Tuesday
the 405 is jammed of it and also they always go to the 405 yeah it's always a
parking lot on the 405 the 101 on one on Wednesday was amazing I got to work in
like four and a half minutes I was like what going across multiple lanes I'm
cruising at 80 miles an hour yeah it's like try on the 10 while when we went to
Santa Monica and stuff like that was just like cruising along I'm just like
this is wonderful have the city's gone nobody actually from it'd be wonderful
wonderful just 40% of the city decided to leave at Clips work or or plague I'm
just saying yeah we don't have enough place we need another plague to say
guillotines I mean guillotines also work
unfortunately and most of the people on the road are the people I think probably
deserve a guillotine so I mean in the end every guillotine is a solution for
everything moving on so Thanksgiving was good here Brendon was here oh my whole
point but that was we need to plan better because I did not get to see
Brendan at all because we left and then three hours later he arrived yeah and
then he left and for our know 12 hours later no he left early early in the
morning he was like there at 8:00 and then we got in at 6:00
so arrived so we've got a plan those things better that one I don't feel so
bad on the one I do feel bad one was Wednesday when we our flight can't left
it too and he's got in at 4:00 know like sexers okay and and being able to leave
and go back wasn't as bad as I thought of it like my concern was that with the
beam Wednesday before Thanksgiving it was going to be the worst day Tuesday
was probably actually the worst day yeah traffic but like Wednesday I was able to
get back to downtown relatively quickly fast and only uh two things la Transit
one can we put more fast passing lanes everywhere yeah I mean honestly I would
get one if there was any way I mean I never go out east on
10 which is where some of the lanes are right the only other one is the one 10
which is the place I don't use it sound in their town there's like weird ones
too like I remember I fast best is the type of thing that I only think about
after I'm stuck in the traffic yes so like there's a lot of times where I
was like up like going up to 5 and I'm like up near Lake Antelope Valley inside
I don't see a Fastpass thing and I'm just like has my trunk I'm like thinking
if I should just turn it back in yeah probably
or take it with you I mean they're never charging anymore it has to be like
during the not after Erlik Oh Ali Oh matters yes O'Malley this is a lake one
not one dollar a month easy pass charger something like that which was fucked up
yeah I got rolled back by a Hogan now second term governor Hogan yeah just
like he he made the Bay Bridge tolls less yes and then I don't know anything
else he did but he's the best mayor in America that's a lot it's a lot of the
lot of the Hogan people I talked to it was like the bay bridge toll went down
yay Hogan yes yes taxes down and tolls went down everywhere no more stupid rain
tags no more rain tax but also listen la transit one more fast pestilence I'd be
great or two let's make it so our friends don't have to drop us off at the
airport because I don't know any form of public transportation drops off at the
airport I mean I they I was I was talking to the Michaels when I was on
set recently about it because we're all having to do LAX runs at some point
during this Thanksgiving weekend yeah and they were both saying like the worst
part is when you're at LAX and you're trying to get an uber and as soon as the
uber driver or the lyft driver realizes that they're going to LAX they do that
like I'm gonna cancel on you or you're gonna cancel on on me yeah like let's
try and figure out some sort of way to cancel this trip because I don't want to
get stuck in LAX terminal traffic for 20 minutes yeah like you're eating up
my ability to make another run by sitting in LAX traffic but I mean again
yeah that's why oh and uber and lyft are horrible by the way also because you
have to be at the upper level which who made that decision
who made the decision that drop-offs and pickups would all be at the place where
people are trying to get to the airport people are running late they are trying
to get to their planes isn't it better to put it at the level where I don't
know everybody's just trying to get out and get home yeah we're all motivated to
get the fuck out of here let's do that I love nothing more if there was just like
cuz I understand that like maybe you don't want to take like the metro ride
all the way or something like that I would oh I know I know there's a lot of
people would but I'm just saying like I I think that what's gonna be a
game-changer for lax is when they figure out not only the
metro into LAX but in addition a metro stop that's like two away from LAX where
you can drop people off oh yeah I just get up and oh yeah you drive me to this
yeah yeah I'll just jump I'm gonna take you to Compton and drop you off at the
station oh wait a second no Center for all that I'm gonna take you to Hollywood
Park okay yeah at the metro stop and then you're gonna take it the extra two
stops I'm gonna miss my flight I'm gonna gamble all weekend you can pick me up
there on Sunday it'll be fine you know III mean I agree and so V I got spoiled
by traveling a little bit where place like Vancouver which by the way shaped
just like LAX like a horseshoe mm-hmm and you know what's in the middle of the
horseshoe what the fucking train the tree goes up and no matter where you
step out of the airport you're no more than 200 feet from the train stop and
you walk out you cross over the traffic lanes go to the train
sometimes you know what what amazes me is the the number of times where LA
could have fixed this long ago yeah like we're gonna get the LAX thing at like 20
20 20 21 or something yeah yeah at the Crenshaw LAX line or
whatever but I keep saying like but where was Bradley in like nineteen fifty
years I'm like that when they were certain just going like should we find
some sort of train to bring people in it was like no people like their cars too
much they're gonna really enjoy driving around the terminals it's just like you
don't think there's any chance that it's gonna get too crowded it's like too
crowded in LA yeah yeah yeah where have you ever heard such nonsense well and of
course in that time though SNA a John Wayne and Bob Hope and LAX were probably
all about the same size so the idea I think was like oh well you know people
go to Burbank they'll go to Orange County they'd just be I really really
want to fly out of Burbank once just to see yeah if you could just make it less
than 50% extra cost I would love to fly out of Burbank
I wish Burbank was my Dulles I mean Burbank is Dallas basically oh I know
but I'm saying like I fly into Dulles or way cheaper than I fly into BWI yes yeah
it's a pain in the ass to get to Burbank right make it a little cheaper to get
yeah yeah I think that's the that's the magic spot except for the reason is more
expensive is because it's easier in reality it's BWI we just live in
Northern Virginia right so we have to get up to BWI to get
out of there that's the problem Airport took right high anyway uh it was
a good weekend I hope you guys enjoyed following along on all the adventures
and nonsense did you post anything anywhere Rachel did yeah Rachel places a
lot well Rachel's mom posted she Rachel texted her mom like pictures of the food
and the turkey yeah and like me cutting the turkey I saw that yeah and then G
posted on Facebook like Rachel hey Corey you had a great Thanksgiving I'm just
like doing too much mom it'd be a little extra being electric just like here look
at me I want to take a picture of you cut in the turkey it's not for anything
and I'm just like okay and that's why I made a face like I was like yeah yeah
and then 20 minutes later it shows oh fuck Thanks whatever but it was also a
she commented on Roxy's thing I didn't know that she and Roxy were friends I
don't think they are but I think Roxy's got that like if you were within one
level yeah of a friend of mine right right
comment and so you know that opens you up to I'm just public on everything if
you don't even have to follow me you just see everything at Robert in cheek
everywhere all right Annie wait so uh more stuff than what happened to us
happen this weekend yes um lots more things happen this than
things that happen to us but a rain is played football game yeah should we I
can't do anything and mass at the same time ok ok alright there we go we're
back hey yes uh where you just played a football game this weekend yes a
question for you because it seems to be the one that's being posted to every
Ravens fan right now let him stay let Lamar Jackson that a yeah I am
totally ready for Lamar Jackson to be our Tom Brady and for Joe Flacco to be
our drew Bloods oh hey don't think it's a similar situation I think it is now I
haven't been able to watch Lamar like in real time actually play a football game
yet I've only seen highlights and the talk of others so I'm a little bit not
necessarily the person I think should be asked about this but I will say this and
that sports ball what what I've been of what I've seen of what I've been told it
really does seem that he is Lamar Jackson is still a step behind the
PlayBook ok well yeah he still isn't quite quite ready to like unleash the
full playbook anything do you know who else was a step behind the playbook Alex
Smith and it cost him his leg um one of the things I heard this week was that
actually Colt McCoy did not look bad for the Redskins
well no Cocoa's two years extra work in the play block yeah so maybe it's just a
matter of time that's my point you can't compare the Marv Jackson to Joe Flacco
because one of them is a machine of nothing but sports skill and the other
one is Joe of athletic prowess yes one man has
athletic prowess just oozing out of him and the other one has been gay losing
out of him I think that it's gonna be an interesting tells me Joe isn't ready to
go this week I think they find some way to buy and I'll be ready yeah listen you
got a little guy I well there was some there was some talk apparently Harbaugh
after the game was saying like well we knew it was gonna be a three to four
week injury with Joe it's like nobody said anything about three or four weeks
prior to I thought you said that he might be ready next week and he injured
it the first week here's the thing do you think that Marty Morningwood as well
as you know killing the offense could pull a Tonya Harding on Joe Flacco just
to keep them out take one for the team I don't think he's the I think Marty
morning wag actually looks more like the guy who actually did the I know right
Marty more anyway Marty morning like morning morning wag is like the is like
that guy Plus like a little bit of like he's already got like this Alex Jones
feel yeah I feel like you look at him you're just like that's a man who's not
right and then you would go up and talk to him and you just be like you know hey
Marty what do you think about the idea of play-action
play-action was invented by aliens and turns frogs game just like wow alright I
guess you know where you stand yeah uh and he's sitting in John
Harbaugh office right now saying listen Shawn it'd be no problems in the CIF
then hits many many times all right he needs to stay out a few more weeks he'll
stand a few more weeks oh we need all we need to do is tell
them that there's some pass interference happening and they'll go to it it'll go
to that place and then BAM car rum down in the parking lot when you're telling
there's a pass interference parking lot okay Charlie I picture you Marty wedding
leg in one of those golf carts
party is that you let's go just casually
Marty get off the Geiser you're sure I'm writing on top of the hood oh just go
down already show this it'll be quicker if you just give in just give into the
dark
yeah so I'll just decide I think that we should you know put your flag go out to
the pasture I'm not ready to say that I think that Joe might get another start
before this is all said and done this year oh good all right I will say
this though and I'm not just saying this because I started on my fantasy team
with spectacular results but I think us Edwards needs to get more play who the
hell said words he is a running back who was on the practice squad up until last
I mean he sort of had like bits and little little plays here and there but
last week was this coming-out party where he rushed for like 120 yards and
then 118 this week okay and I did the same thing last week when I saw it I was
like who the fuck is this guy I mean does he have a picture on Yahoo
no he does not I have two people on my team are just the icon and I'm like oh
all right this is this that's where you get when you have 14 team leagues yeah
we're just getting deep into the injuries into unknown players I was so
happy I picked him up though okay he did well for you you did all right probably
would have been better if I started other people how many touchdowns with
that 18 yards what no unfortunately not he did last
week though yeah but so are you getting look a gift 11 points in the face
sure 8 points you have on the bench from that position 16 yeah I mean that guy me
kind of can give tourists in the mouth anyway so yeah Ravens I mean we're not
gonna make the playoffs this year right I mean we're the sixth seed right now I
mean and everyone in the AFC looks like horrible Dogfish garbage
Dogfish car I dug these are machetes garbage by the way Brendan
Dogfish garbage is what you left all right IPA who do you think you are
dogfish IPA via Brotherhood multiple conversations where I was making in
front of like snooty beer people and then you could see how offended he was
cuz he's a snooty beer person like if I kept doing the lake walking up to the
bartender at like the snooty IPA bar yeah this one is made of moose paroled
and mixed with different fig leaves and brewed in a coffee container for nine
and a half months and then Brandon was just like that's very insulting to me
and then he sipped the beer made of my ears that was brutal I feel like I'm
personally attacked yes because you're a sneaky bear version I can't say that for
sure cuz I don't I haven't drink around is this new deeper first yeah I all I
can say is I've seen the beer that's in the fridge right now and you know yam
sure ain't American beer you know you know he's loaded beer person because
he's got the untapped app does he look all the all the medals and stuff like
that to you poor boy what happened to my beautiful baby boy Oh Mike Elias told
his first lie as he Orioles GM cuz he walked into the clubhouse looked around
came back out to talk to the press and said a lot of good players here a good
team Chris Davis Saunders bodies like I take everything back my favorite was the
the Orioles hired somebody who used to work at NASA yes just at Fenton tweet
was so I assume the only reason they were brought into the job is to learn
how to launch Chris Davis into space I mean I can't tell you that that's not
probably a good use of money because we can't get out of that contract that's
for sure if he's in space then we technically get to wash it off on the
books right right yeah okay use like if you have an injury like if an injury and
your career then insurance pays for the length right yeah yeah yeah
so but I mean does that still come off of your salary
now right I mean there's no salary yeah but I mean like I'm a year like your
luck the luxury tax yeah I think I think it's just clear money right the
insurance pays it all out yes not on our books anymore
right yeah or okay so alternative Marty mourning leg maybe we pull a Nancy
Kerrigan on uh-oh Chris Davis and then we all get out of it you know wouldn't
it be nice and the spirit of spirit of bipartisanship see the Orioles Mike Lee
Ilyas would would go take out Joe Flacco Marty morning Mike would take out Chris
Davis I heard about this in law school about two wives who did this to each
other's husbands and though they were gonna get away with it it did not work
out for well for them if I remember correctly so I wouldn't do that
no because Michael is is just starting out but you are the way I just set up
the story though it sounds like they planned it it wasn't planned it just
happened yeah I mean you know just yeah and
Takashi six nine just happens to be rapper going away her lover yeah so by
the way if anybody's following that story its gosh six nine dummy boy will
be out very shortly I might have really anyway so he had his plea he put in his
plea today yeah pled not guilty they're looking at trial
in September of 2019 which means he's gonna be locked up for ten months
pending trial so if he wasn't going to testify he damn sure is gonna testify
now they just trying to get him to roll on somebody else that he's the only one
who's not like a blooded in I mean blood it in blood so of course they just
wanted to roll over he's got nothing to lose I mean it for all intents and
purposes the guy who's like yeah man they're all killers and I'm a killer -
he's probably bad guys probably not a killer
they are probably killers but he's probably not a killer so a good way to
get somebody to roll is to offerors is to charge them with things that will put
them away for 32 to life yes yeah that's a and make it a jail without protection
for ten months so yes that too but yeah I'd still like him to do some jail time
because uh fuck Takashi six nine I mean he's probably gonna do a lot of time but
so I read an interesting summary that said that it's actually not about the I
would like it I would like it if the judge just like it gives like parole not
parole probation gives probation or like releases him on bond essentially yes
it's like all right here's the terms of your release you're not allowed to be in
association with any of these number of people yeah you're not allowed to leave
the state and you're not allowed to make music because you're not allowed to
commit crimes on other people while you're currently out on bail I'm not
allowing you to commit any more crimes its crimes to ears which on it every
single day ironically count one of the indictment says that they are furthering
their criminal enterprise using Takashi's music so actually his music is
a crime correct that's why they I'm somebody recognizes that's why they
seized all of his money because he said it's poker but what the best the best
description I heard of it is basically that we've accepted as a society that
there will be drug dealing in the city of New York yeah we've accepted that the
gangs are gonna be the people who sell the drugs okay the problem is that if
you sell a thousand dollars worth of heroin that your overheads basically
nine hundred dollars when you talk about buying the heroin paying the people you
know everybody takes a cut yeah and then this general over overhead like any
business takes away ninety percent of the profit right so what you have in
takashi is a guy who has profit from outside of the drug industry mm-hmm
who's just dumping money into this gang and he's all set the balance and
basically all the feds want is to not to stop the dealing of drugs or the gang
violence in new york but to merely go back to the status quo where everybody's
got some guns and there's some violence but it's a minimal amount and we could
all live with that that's what they want so i thought that was interesting and
it's probably not incorrect because their focus have you heard anything
about his co-defendant at all I mean I I heard I remember I
read a story about this I guess like right after we wrapped the podcast last
week or something like that is when the story it was like the day after where it
started really dawning mm-hmm and I'm just like reading some of the things
that have led to the charges the stories that have led to the charges I was just
like what the fuck are you thinking man yeah he ordered a hit on Instagram live
yeah some guy in the Barclays center Lake oh no no that was different
oh that's what I'm saying like his be asked his buddy to shoot the guy at the
Barclays center they don't Instagram live later he was us like oh no no I
know where you live don't worry about it I know where you
live and he hangs up on the guy while his friend is recording him on Instagram
live and he says you know 30 rock on the head I swear to God I swear to God on
God 30 rock for his head like your own Instagram you are on Instagram and
you're just like yo thirty thirty thousand dollars to kill this guy by the
way it's really funny if that ever gets to trial because wait Ravens it survived
there's a lot of teams that are 5 and 6 and the Colts are 6 and 5 but I mean
like it's yeah none of those teams are really great either the Bengals are
without a thought now dolphins are the Dolphins progress the Broncos yeah oh
but yes so the yeah he's order how dumb do you have to be like you don't order a
hit on somebody and yeah so I mean it is what it is but goes through his music a
couple of Spotify spins won't hurt anybody it's tak e Shi the number six IX
the number nine ine gosh I I just really hope that but a lot of people like have
a have a weakening with this yeah I just I would make me feel better if people
would wake up in the morning and say like what have I been doing with my life
you can hope yeah I'm not talking about the scratching 6:9 I'm talking about all
the people who listen to his music music but Donny boy was supposed to be out
last Friday maybe it comes out soon the same maybe it does anyway um trying to
think what do we have time for do you wanna go to Baltimore just we'll skip
the other stuff alright so there's a migrant Caravan we were still worried
about it we put Trump's we put troops on the border yeah luckily those guys are
still there to stop the migrant care about no they got they got pulled
because it was all political son yeah yeah because right after the election we
dinner and then right after I feel like we're the better version of this story
is coming a week from now yeah just because most of this happened yesterday
I also think that the whole thing's not there yet yeah I don't feel like any
there's way too many things with the story that aren't adding up to me mm-hmm
and I'm not trying to sound like there's like some conspiracy that needs to be
opened or something like that but like there's the there's way too much of each
side trying to get their story out there right now yeah and not enough of what
actually happened I think it's really clear that we well I mean like there's
the violent gang there's the side that's like you know the right side which is
the violent gang that overthrew Mexican authorities yeah and charged at the
border and left the American authorities with no choice but to use the tear gas
yeah tear gas which we fired into Mexico
right by the way which would be by my token an act of war yeah we fired a
weapon of war that's banned by the Geneva Convention I mean that's
basically why we took down aside this because of tear gas - yeah their
chemical weapons yeah but and then there's the left side which is this like
there's women and children who are getting tear gassed to death
but there's a lot of things - there's a lot of things to sort out here yes and
maybe next week would be the better time to do that I agree I think there's just
literally it happened today so yeah no tip well there was more stuff today i
watch some live video today so and I also I think that the most of the
caravan is not there this is just kind of the first there's it's like a wave
crashing and this is the first small one it'll be a couple
one's and then the big one gets there yeah we'll see what happens Trump is
starting to shut down the government unless he gets his border wall I don't
know that he knows how long it takes to build a wall and I'm thinking he might
think that this is a solution that Mike and Karen brought I also think he thinks
that the a lame duck will be able to handle this yeah so many people who lost
their seats are not interested in working help yeah especially most of
them who lost according to trump lost because they didn't back him right so
after hearing that why would you then back him for the Senate candidate by the
way the the total we're at right now is 38 seats and they said 40 you had
predicted like what 2020 yep so a little bit closer to me a lot closer to you
yeah oh yeah Larry for Ted is suspended oh man all those respectful bills me as
they were just sorted out don't get involved okay so a Trump is threatening
to shut down the government again I don't know if he understands how lame
ducks work I don't know if he understand how budgeting works I at this point I am
not comfortable saying anything that Trump is actually good at with
government because we know that for sure know for sure on another quick topic
he's not good with climate change because a thousand person group is that
with including 300 scientists within his own government yes well some of them
weren't in the government so maybe that's his his consolation is that hey
half of those guys weren't even in the government but thousand people came
together and they agreed for the second time since 2017 that we are doing
massive damage and that the only explanation is human interference right
and some did you read any of the report not specifically I just I just saw those
I didn't even hear the story well I heard the story but I didn't read
anything but I thought me where'd the report so I went and during my evening
Constitution read some of the report startling stuff yeah startling stuff it
tried to hit Trump where hopefully he would he would care about this where
it's like this is going to end up costing American
business billions of dollars and America billions of dollars yes and he's yeah I
don't believe it and I just write as I know we can we can
get into more details later because I'm sure there's gonna be a second turn to
this one yeah it did that come out that was the Friday dump before Thanksgiving
right after things yeah Friday dump during the Thanksgiving break yeah so I
do feel like that will get back around to that there's gonna he's gonna on
Twitter on Thursday or something like that should be like nobody knows
anything about climate change except for me we all know the world isn't getting
hotter so fuck you and then like I do we're gonna have another couple days of
like you know Adam Schiff going like the the attitude the Trump is shown towards
climate change
GM announced today that they were closing five plants and 14,000 jobs
going away and I do think that that that when I saw that I said somehow Trump is
gonna circle this around to climate change and I don't know how he's gonna
do it like maybe we're better off oh hey we're addressing our drought or climate
change problem because there will be less cars on the road because GMO
producing less cars like that in my mind that's that feels like a trump that
feels like a Trump argument right yeah James producing less cars there's less
cars on the road climate change soft see but I don't
think that that helps him I mean I guess not because his whole thing is like yeah
like we need more jobs like he's bright are this just like whole like so yeah I
mean like Youngstown Ohio is closing a cheese plant in White Marsh is closing
waymarsh Palin yeah there's like six different plants that are closing
again I didn't read that I was talking about the story with coworkers I thought
they said it was all Canadian plants now there are Canadian plants there are
other plants but there's six American ones I think super-super if I'm correct
in that number good job what I mean that's 15 percent of their workforce yes
we're making America great again clearly expanding and the economy's never been
stronger and you know I mean at the at the end of the day with the climate
change stuff especially like it's not quite the same
as it was when we when it was a pipe dream yeah I mean like you can buy a
solar panel that you you could charge your phone with for 20 bucks listen stop
letting them personalize climate change no no no but there are 71 companies who
are carrying out 99% of the pollution err oh yeah we need that's what we need
to adjust so me charging my cellphone on a solar panel instead of the plug does
zero for Ghana no I get you but the first step is is definitely getting all
the companies that are committing all the holy acts to actually like clean up
and do the right part I think Nestle Nestle has completely stolen all the
water yeah California has stolen water in Michigan get pays nothing for it oh
by the way the political favors that they use to get these sweetheart deals
you know what we learned it takes 40 bottles of water to cook a Thanksgiving
turkey or Thanksgiving dinner you know how we learned that cuz Flint because
Flint doesn't have clean water yet so they're cooking Thanksgiving dinner with
bottled water yeah that doesn't have clean water
hey I can't but by the way you know how we solve this problem with the company
71 companies you know how we get them to get in line guillotines guillotines
you're coming around course I can sense a that you're coming around I you know
it's one of those I think what we what we really need is we need the the the
Bible of the good businesses and the bad businesses because I think that a lot of
people they want to do the right thing they want to support people who do it
the right way okay and just because a company is big doesn't necessarily mean
that they're evil you know what I mean I mean I disagree nobody companies are
inherently I'm saying there's a difference between a Walmart which is a
big company that's evil and just to put it in the same field like Sam's Club
which has traditionally been very good to its employees and tree it pays
everyone wait Costco I'm sorry Sam's Club Sam's Club is heart'll buy one word
yes yeah but have traditionally always treated their their employees well and
done everything like that you would expect a big company to do right 20
percent the size so they're not comparable businesses they are in the
same market same field yes yes but I'm saying that you know if Walmart did the
same thing then we wouldn't necessarily think of Walmart it's like the bad guys
per se yes even though you know they had just had a really good business that was
managed it was able to succeed even with taking care of everybody yeah dollars
now and in benefits once once you take away like from what your Nestle taking
all the water from California in Michigan and anywhere else where you're
bottling then you can't just make up for that
you know lakid there has to be a water company though that is doing a better
thing yeah I don't I mean Fiji maybe it's not actually Fiji water they lied
to it the people who buy it yeah when they bottle it they actually are but I
know maybe I feel like Fiji well we don't need bottled water I mean really
like watch any episode of Adam ruins everything because I've realized I am
Adam from Adam means everything the other thing is like glasses you feel
like you have an option when it comes to glasses but it turns out one company
owns all of the right eye places and all of the glasses company the other one I
like is mattresses oh yeah we're definitely a front it's all from well no
no it's not that it's like a front per se it's just that if you go online you
can't trust any reviews because every single mattress review site yeah is
owned by like a mattress company yes yeah if you go on to like some website
it's just like Sleep Number is the past everyone else sucks like look at all
these reviews from the other mattress providers yeah then you'll find out that
that company that you think like mattress we used a comma or something
like that is owned by the number yeah yeah it's just like that that's the one
that has managed to like escape everybody to a degree
yeah like this like secret underground rating system on mattresses you know how
we can solve this guillotines speaking of horrible
corporations oh and getting more in tune let's talk about CSX and how they're
impacting our favorite hometown in the bottom or corner where you get
the straight dupe so um two years ago no yeah I think so
how do what we were doing the podcast so it had to be since then infamously and
notoriously a huge piece of 23rd Street 32nd street 23rd no 32nd 30s yeah I
don't remember exactly though maybe it's higher than that its way it's in
Northwest Baltimore though yeah it was up where EP was living right and like
Camden him like northwest of Hamden not Washington
now Washington yeah an entire Hills isn't quite Northwest but yeah yes
entire hillside collapsed sidewalk collapsed a retaining wall collapse a
hill collapsed and I think the damaged cars ready went down the hill and there
was like a mudslide down the hill and damaged some cars mm-hmm and come to
find out CSX which ran a tunnel directly under that spot was not to blame for
that despite how it may seem that they are to blame for that now another
section of that very street looks to be damaged and collapsing and the CSX
tunnel which runs underneath it also not to blame this time you have to ask
yourself uh one Baltimore is not to see it's got money to be thrown around to
fix problems you know now there are forty five million dollars and police
overtime for fiscal year nineteen yes yes that's a lot of collapsing sidewalk
so you could fix with that yeah I think but nonetheless so at what point does
CSX have to step up and actually you know repair something never I mean
probably never that's the the end result of this is probably never should they
absolutely 100 percent but they won't so now the citizens of North northern North
Paulding not north of Baltimore I guess North Baltimore northern Baltimore
northern Baltimore you would say yeah are gonna be paying the price
and I don't know if I I mean I there I don't think there's any houses there
right it's kind of like just a a road it's like a tional there's houses right
across the street yeah but where it's collapsing is across the street from the
houses yeah the last time the last time there's a lot of those houses got ruined
and destroyed I cuz it actually caved in the whole road that's right yeah yeah
but you know I'm sure bottom will be fine I'm sure you guys will be totally
okay oh we have a new police commissioner so the mayor has named her
choice for a police commissioner and you know what I'd like to see when we name a
police commissioner is that that guy quits his job and gets ready to become
the police conditioner of Baltimore so clearly that's what the police
commissioner of Fort Worth did no no yeah it's sad what he did was announced
that he would not be giving up his job he would not be giving up his job in
Fort Worth until he was confirmed by the City Council
yeah which maybe gives me pause that perhaps he doesn't think that he's gonna
be approved by the City Council something tells me that a couple people
in the City Council probably said you're not an automatic yeah when he came in to
me with them the other day and he said oh shit maybe I shouldn't quit my
current job keep the job you have you know I mean because perhaps I also find
that I'm not saying that this is the case with Joel Fitzgerald yeah potential
future Baltimore City Police Commissioner but I find that people who
are get worried about like the City Council like investigating them and like
digging it up are also worried that they're gonna find the one thing that
like he's been secretly worried about this whole time yeah I got it I got a
big skeleton that calls it yeah it's real deep in a closet but I mean I was
never written on that report where I assassinated that kid on the street but
everybody knows something tells me that this is the time where that's going to
pop up yeah but I can't say anything about it because then I won't get the
child but maybe if I sneak in without so instead I'll just wait and I'll hope it
never gets found and I'll not give up my current job where I'm under contracts
until I'm for sure in the new job where I'll be under contract yeah because
that's how we do it in Baltimore I can't think of a worse way to conduct
ourselves as a city and yet here we are no this is what we do
hooray I I feel like at any point Catherine Pugh could have done this
better Oh at every point she could have done this better how about this anything
in the city could be better than it is right now I mean like I think about it
like this so I know there's a lot of a lot of controversy about this in
retrospect but the Christine Blasi Ford thing started coming out like she
started reaching out to people when his when Cavanaugh's name was announced as a
possible yes candidate and that it was all secret up
until closer to the confirmation but the the idea being that like it wasn't until
the name was put out there that people could start investigating it as to
whether or not there was anything untoward that was happening and by the
way had Trump not rushed maybe this thing about Kavanagh were to come out
and he wouldn't been the nominee right here's the shortlist of five not this is
the guy yeah this is the guy right but I'm saying the the if at some point P
would just sort of said here's my short list of 20 names and then just allow
people to investigate on their own or you know and the City Council yeah or
just be like here's the 20 here's the 20 names of thinking about releasing let's
sort of like put them publicly out there and see how yeah you know the people
react to it and see if any skeletons come out if we need to eliminate anybody
off that list like yeah now would be a good time rather than just like hey I
made the pick because you're putting an awful lot of a lot on your ability to
get it right and you haven't proven that you're able to get it right on entering
anything nothing at all
on the plus side here in LA we're gonna get a wonderful new building but two
blocks away first and first in spring and first in grant snuck in snuck in
that bribe right at the last minute
luckily now all the permits have been approved buildings going up no matter
what you have to well we've already started tearing down a garage that we
can can't do anything about it now so how hard it is to demolish things in LA
if this is coming down we need to put a building up here or the homeless will
move in do not I like I like oh la has like a nine year process of getting
things done because like everyone starts suing and then there's a point where the
suing stops and we just let it go alright we've we've put it through the
initial round of discussion in the City Council now starts the nine-month prep
the nine year process of everyone's suing each other okay and do we wrap up
the lawsuits wrapped up okay it's all approved we're gonna go ahead and move
forward now now we can officially say yes and we'll boot out although then the
punker the Bunker Hill neighborhood association has sued us over
environmental complains yes we can move on to
that's way like I have yet to find anyone who can explain to me why this is
the best process for LA moving forward where it's just like oh yeah we just
finished a bike lane it cost twenty five million dollars and I'm just like well
how the hell did it cost twenty five million dollars it's like well you know
the new paint cost a hundred dollars and the new concrete that we had to lay that
was actually kind of expensive that was $5,000 so we had to go over some parts
of the road that we hadn't planned on going over yeah and then the other
twenty-five million dollars is that we kept getting sued yeah by everyone sued
us yeah so the outside counsel for which we paid twenty-five million dollars to
handle all this took some time and now that it's all cleared we can spend the
five thousand dollars that we were gonna spend on the bike lane now what's up man
come on it's always the answer always the answer it fixes everything or you
know legs it colleagues it would be great
yeah we got though I don't know if that makes it better or worse we did we we
got someone from Kellogg's that reached out to us so we might do that at some
point I'm very excited I would really like to speak to somebody from Cal exit
see what their plan of attack is I spoke to some people from Texas about Cal exit
yeah got their perspective I think it's gonna help me with some question asking
did you ever did you ever listen to that one Malcolm Gladwell podcast about how
Texas could have removed itself from the Union they have an out in their
constitution yeah I learned about that while discussing cal exit and the whole
thing about like you guys don't even have that but do you think the US would
let us leave yeah did you know about that I had no idea this weekend yeah I
heard about it because they had a the whole Democratic side of the Texas House
like 20 years ago or so my guess like left Oklahoma Oklahoma yeah and they
couldn't have a quorum because they weren't there and the the whole
discussion was whether or not to secede from the union because Texas was the
only state that could do it so without it going up to a vote in front of a
house or represented Texas into the Union said that so long as it's not
joining another country if it's going back to being a republic yeah it would
be allowed to leave which apparently I don't know how that survived the post
Confederate Constitution but maybe because parts of Texas stayed loyal I
don't know who was all of Texas already already like squared away by the time
the Civil War was over because I feel like there were still parts that were
Mexico ya know Mexico Mexico situation had been solved but there were parts of
West Texas that stayed loyal to the to the cop to the north yeah there was
actually some in fight like Mexico Missouri in West Texas and West Virginia
obviously there were places where there was fighting inside the states because
other parts stayed loyal but like West Texas hootch by the way I saw a cotton
field so a Khan field yeah I've lived on the East Coast my entire life never seen
a cotton field saw one Texas in Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving
it's amazing but back then you couldn't raise cotton in East or in West Texas
it's different kind of cotton mmm so in the 1800's it was only in the swampy
East Texas so when they were trying to defend this whole like slave culture
West Texas was like listen we got no I got no need for any of this yeah Johnson
so we're gonna you guys trying to leave the Union we're we're not about that
life yeah and there was actually again
according to people who are starting to this weekend there were two top five
versus whatever but they said that there was two Texas government somebody how
many cities that if we asked Rachel how many cities in Texas she can name how
many do you think she'd get that's not even fair probably three probably I
think she'd go a little bit deeper but I think El Paso would probably be the
smallest of the I think that she would only know El Paso because we were
talking about it so yeah she would know Dallas in Houston yeah I'm not sure she
can name another city in we're gonna test her when she gets home okay yes and
well upload the video someplace I don't know where would we be able to to upload
that kind of video Instagram perhaps yeah yeah or maybe Twitter or oh I got a
place yeah oh yeah um calm core do the intercom on Facebook Twitter Instagram
