#3639: Vanilla Forward

Quince Speaker (0:00): You know, this time of year always makes me rethink what's in my closet. I wanna keep fewer things, but better things. Pieces that are well made and easy to wear all the time, and that's why I keep coming back to Quince. The fabrics feel elevated, the fits are thoughtful, and the pricing actually makes sense. You see, Quince makes high quality everyday essentials using premium materials like 100% European linen and their insanely soft, flow knit activewear fabric.

Quince Speaker (0:28): Their men's linen pants and shirts are lightweight and breathable and comfortable, basically the perfect layer for spring. And the pants strike the right balance between laid back and refined, so you look like you put together an amazing outfit without trying too hard. Nice. And let me tell you about the FLOW KNIT activewear. This is moisture wicking, anti odor, and soft enough that you'll actually want to wear it all day.

Quince Speaker (0:54): Now the price, that's the best part. 50 to 60% less than similar brands because Quince works directly with Ethical Factories and cuts out the middlemen. It's a simple science, and it saves you money. Right now, I am having a love affair with a Mongolian cashmere sweater. You wanna talk about the perfect weight.

Quince Speaker (1:14): It is, perfect in Florida. It is perfect in Leesburg, and it looks amazing. I look like I know how to dress myself. It's a nice change. Thank you, Quince.

Unknown Speaker (1:59): It's a podcast. Fun. And what excitement we have today.

Rob Spiwack (2:03): It's the Mike O'Mara show with Mike O'Mara and Rob Spiwack. Now here's Mike.

Mike O'Meara (2:12): Outside of Josh, still being ill, no major tragedies of any kind last no no major earth shattering world events last night. Right? When we're coming here today?

Quince Speaker (2:24): You can say that. I mean, we bought some corn on the cob. It was barely sweet. So I'm dissatisfied with that.

Mike O'Meara (2:30): If that's if that's all we have to be concerned about, I'm very, very happy about that. I just know, when sometimes when you go through news cycles that include a tremendous amount of turmoil, you are always on edge that you're gonna be missing something.

Quince Speaker (2:45): Do you, like me, when you wake up early in the morning and after you get your regular text from Josh that he's not coming in, do you cringe?

Mike O'Meara (2:53): Do you cringe? By the way, get used to it. You know? It's going to be me and you because these are the tells. These are the tells.

Mike O'Meara (3:01): You know how that works. You you know? We we've been through we've been through multiple cycles.

Quince Speaker (3:05): So Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's I I began I began my suspicion when he put bronchitis in quotation marks. That's

Mike O'Meara (3:13): Josh is out sick. He's taking steroids.

Quince Speaker (3:15): So that's But you know what? Is really ill. It's exactly what I went through two weeks ago. He'll feel better this afternoon, and tonight, he will be starving. Okay.

Quince Speaker (3:23): Steroids are, like, magical. He'll do great.

Mike O'Meara (3:25): But do you kid's starving. Woke up this morning. He's on a new look. Growing boy. I get it.

Unknown Speaker (3:29): He's on a new

Mike O'Meara (3:30): kick where, he was hangry today as I took him to the bus. And Yeah. Because I he wanted this is the little Lord Fauntleroy syndrome here that he wanted to go to the Starbucks and get that, that bacon Gouda sandwich that he likes so bad at the Starbucks.

Unknown Speaker (3:46): Would love to go and have a freshly melted Gouda biscuit.

Unknown Speaker (3:50): Yes. He was, he was a little, ragged out, but he knew it too. He knew I like it now because now, he's at the age where he knows he's being an a hole. So, he can joke about it right at

Unknown Speaker (4:00): the edge.

Unknown Speaker (4:00): Yeah. Yeah. Like, he's walking away, and I'm like, have a great day.

Unknown Speaker (4:03): Yeah. Me too.

Unknown Speaker (4:05): And we just look at each other, we know we love each other. That's the that's why. But, yes. Go ahead.

Quince Speaker (4:09): What I was gonna say is do you sometimes and when when we're in an era like this, do you cringe when you open your phone like something bad might have happened overnight? You just have a feeling?

Mike O'Meara (4:20): Yeah. Yes and no. I I feel as though in the information age that, that I get so much. I I have, editing to do in all platforms. I I am way, way behind in cleaning house and really getting things cleaned up.

Mike O'Meara (4:36): So I get so much crap that, no, I don't have that anxiety because I just assume it's gonna be one of the thousands, hundreds of thousands of solicitors that are doing. However Yeah. We have to so I have time sensitive material this morning. Okay. Because, you know, we,

Unknown Speaker (4:54): you and I

Mike O'Meara (4:54): you and I go well, it's interesting you mentioned that.

Unknown Speaker (4:58): Really?

Unknown Speaker (4:59): Well, I I did this just for you. I bought this for you.

Unknown Speaker (5:02): I love that.

Mike O'Meara (5:03): And then, yes, last evening, I said, oh, I know what I'll do at the beginning of the show. I will, do something just for Rob. And

Quince Speaker (5:10): You know, that is after thirty four years, that's still so flattering to me.

Mike O'Meara (5:14): Well, be flattered because, here it is.

Unknown Speaker (5:18): Oh, you bought your Costco ice cream.

Mike O'Meara (5:20): I have. It's great. Kirkland vanilla. Super premium vanilla. And by the way, not one, but oh god.

Unknown Speaker (5:28): It's leaking on me. Hold

Quince Speaker (5:29): on. Is it leaking, like, condensation or milk? I bought

Mike O'Meara (5:32): it yesterday early in the day.

Unknown Speaker (5:34): And you left it in your studio?

Mike O'Meara (5:36): No. I left it in the car when I took Michael to to the batting cages. Oh, so refrows. It refrows. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (5:42): But your texture's gonna be off. Oh, this is not a this will always have an asterisk. Okay. Good. It here.

Mike O'Meara (5:48): Good. Before I I dive in, you you have gone nuts. You you I believe you've used the best. It is labeled super premium, which I guess is the designation that it's a good ice cream.

Quince Speaker (6:00): There's several things about it that I like. I like that the containers are full half gallons, not 1.75 quarts as they mostly sell now, and it is a full gallon. And I would like to know who makes it for Kirkland because, obviously, Kirkland doesn't make all their products. For example, Kirkland vodka is pretty much assumed to be made by Grey Goose. And a lot of times, they they, sort of contract out their products with premium, manufacturers.

Quince Speaker (6:27): So I'm wondering who makes it.

Unknown Speaker (6:28): Let me

Unknown Speaker (6:29): look for a second here. Well, we'll talking package because it's kind of a secret.

Unknown Speaker (6:33): Somebody said now we'll

Unknown Speaker (6:34): have the protect device.

Unknown Speaker (6:36): What a crappy movie mother was.

Unknown Speaker (6:38): Mother?

Unknown Speaker (6:39): But I love that part.

Unknown Speaker (6:40): I love that device. The the funny thing about that

Mike O'Meara (6:43): is Smiky Smiky k. I haven't seen that name in there. Smiky, that's a good way to join the chat group. Thank you very much.

Quince Speaker (6:49): It was kind of nice that Albert Brooks let Debbie Reynolds be the best part of that movie.

Mike O'Meara (6:54): Well, she was normally But, I mean, Debbie Reynolds gets credit for that too because Debbie Reynolds is fantastic.

Unknown Speaker (6:58): You Of course. I mean, classic.

Mike O'Meara (7:00): If you wanna see, it's called mother with, Albert Brooks. I'm looking right now. Let's see where it comes from. It doesn't really say they're they're cagey about that, aren't they?

Quince Speaker (7:10): Yeah. They are. They don't like to reveal it. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (7:12): Oh, where it's good. No. Doesn't say anything about where it's from.

Quince Speaker (7:15): But wherever it is, whoever makes it is not selling it for that price for a full gallon. You know, you're Mike, they pass the savings on the

Unknown Speaker (7:23): We start quality and clean, blah blah blah. It's it's just all the all the stuff. You know? Yeah. And you know what?

Unknown Speaker (7:28): You don't need to put this whether it's time for an early afternoon snack or Oh, my god. Can't even tell me what I do with it. I but nobody I'm not gonna give it a better rate because it's crap. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (7:38): But I mean terrible copy. I mean, there

Mike O'Meara (7:40): are people that write this. There are people that have jobs. You know? We start with quality ingredients, which include fresh cream. That's it.

Mike O'Meara (7:47): The result, a sweet smooth take on a classic, whether it's time for an early afternoon snack or a late night dessert. Thank you for telling me when I'm supposed to eat ice cream, you morons.

Quince Speaker (7:58): And you're at your Costco, do you see people that rotate from position to position? Like, sometimes they're checking sometimes.

Mike O'Meara (8:05): That that's a right your your frequency is much greater than mine.

Quince Speaker (8:09): You don't even have, like, a you don't even have, like, a favorite checker like someone that checks you out there?

Unknown Speaker (8:14): No. Oh, no. I don't go. You use it like a grocery store.

Unknown Speaker (8:18): I use once a thing

Mike O'Meara (8:19): to me. Maybe once every three weeks.

Quince Speaker (8:21): Maybe. That's not often enough. Alright.

Unknown Speaker (8:24): Well You

Quince Speaker (8:24): need to get there off. And and, Mike, you need to strike up a relationship with some of the guys and and gals that work there.

Mike O'Meara (8:30): Processed on equipment that also packages products that may contain peanuts, tree nuts tree nuts. Watch out for tree nuts. And wheat soybeans. So that's it. That's just the nothing.

Mike O'Meara (8:43): They're they're they're KG. They don't tell you where produced without artificial growth hormone. Well, thanks for that. Mhmm. And that's it.

Mike O'Meara (8:52): It says premium ice cream. You you can't call it ice cream unless it's ice cream.

Unknown Speaker (8:56): Correct? Exactly.

Unknown Speaker (8:57): Yeah. Alright. You ready? Alright.

Unknown Speaker (8:59): Yeah. I am, and I'm excited about this. By the

Mike O'Meara (9:00): way, my heroin addiction to ice cream, ladies and gentlemen, was even when I was transferring this into the bowl, I had to exercise willpower because that's how bad it is. That's how bad

Quince Speaker (9:13): I am. Be your methadone, though, because you know what? It is so satisfying and so delicious, but it is just vanilla.

Unknown Speaker (9:20): I'm

Unknown Speaker (9:21): going. So may oh, here we go. Here it goes. Mike takes a bite. Chewing.

Quince Speaker (9:25): He's swooshing it around in his mouth. I see some tongue action.

Mike O'Meara (9:28): It also, it has a, custard quality to it.

Quince Speaker (9:32): Yes. I but I don't think there's eggs in it. I think it that's because like

Unknown Speaker (9:36): really, really good.

Quince Speaker (9:39): Thank you. I I thought you would like it. I think it's the, I think it's got ridiculous fat content. I think that's the reason. And also good for me.

Mike O'Meara (9:47): And also the really, really good, Rob.

Quince Speaker (9:49): This is really good. Forward too. Right? I mean, it's more vanilla y than, say, that, crystal y mess known as Breyers.

Unknown Speaker (9:56): I'd love to I'd love to come in here and argue with you. I really, really would. But, I mean, I I think you you know certain things, and, this is

Quince Speaker (10:05): And, Mike, I'm not I don't wanna make things worse than they are.

Mike O'Meara (10:08): Like, ridiculously good. Yeah. I am surprised.

Quince Speaker (10:11): Mike, there is a, the Ghirardelli company, I believe they are San Francisco based, makes a, caramel syrup that is insane. Yeah. God. Yeah. So Mike is sampling a Kirkland vanilla super premium ice cream.

Unknown Speaker (10:25): Will you continue?

Quince Speaker (10:26): Mike is pleased. He is pleased. The vineyard has given me for years. Yes.

Mike O'Meara (10:31): I had I don't know what I had, for car oh, Publix, pubics. I bought pubics for Carla, and there's not even a not even a close second for, the pubics.

Quince Speaker (10:43): Yeah. Publix, you know, I got to be sort of a fan when I was living in Florida with, my father. And I I like that they have the big scale in the lobby. I think that's nice. And I like their BOGOs.

Quince Speaker (10:55): But Publix brand ice cream, I did try, and I found it nice and satisfying.

Unknown Speaker (10:58): 70 pounds. I swear to god.

Quince Speaker (11:00): And, Mike, at least you only bought a gallon of it. If you buy, like, a Ben and Jerry's and you're only getting a pint, know,

Mike O'Meara (11:08): so much so adamant about this being that good? That's what got me to buy it because I I went by you would have cracked up if you saw me in the store. I got my cart. I'm buying protein bars, and I'm buying, like, probiotics. That's it.

Mike O'Meara (11:21): I buy very little when I go into that store.

Quince Speaker (11:24): You didn't buy a Boonie hat?

Mike O'Meara (11:25): I I I spend very little time in that store. I don't like being in that store. I don't like the old people in that store. I like the I know. I don't like the samples.

Mike O'Meara (11:33): I don't like any of that crap. I like to get in and get out. There are a couple of products that I truly like that I enjoy. A lot of cleaning products that I like.

Quince Speaker (11:42): Gas up there? Do you get, Costco gas?

Unknown Speaker (11:45): Don't need to.

Quince Speaker (11:46): You know what? How about that? Boogie woogie woogie woogie. You know, I can't buy gas there either because they don't they don't vent Melted

Unknown Speaker (11:54): a little bit too, and it is just. It's it's really good. This is the last bite.

Quince Speaker (11:58): Another thing you will find is that because of its fat content and low air content, it doesn't melt as fast as a cheaper ice cream.

Mike O'Meara (12:05): My god. No. Melt Point is a better ice cream.

Quince Speaker (12:08): No. It's not. We've been through this. As a matter of fact, I just ran a best of segment about it where you came into it thinking that, but then we proved that it wasn't that because it

Unknown Speaker (12:18): melts faster than the air is cream if an ice cream melts quicker, that means it's, it's got it's creamier. No.

Quince Speaker (12:24): It means it's got more air. Give me evidence.

Unknown Speaker (12:27): Show me where there's evidence that that, would

Quince Speaker (12:29): be Oh, I don't wanna do this again.

Mike O'Meara (12:31): Coffee. Well, I didn't know what we did a best of. Yeah. Well, you know, do thirty years ago?

Quince Speaker (12:37): Yes, Mike. We did it in 1970. We were talking about the new episode of star trek, and then we talked about ice cream. No. It was on a TMOS classic a couple weeks ago where we were going back and forth about it.

Unknown Speaker (12:49): Present me with evidence to, make your point during that show?

Unknown Speaker (12:52): Yes.

Unknown Speaker (12:53): Did I believe it?

Quince Speaker (12:54): Yes. It was a total turn. It started just like this.

Unknown Speaker (12:57): Damn it.

Quince Speaker (12:57): But the more ice cream that the more air in ice cream, and I've there's a word for it, like overflow or something like that.

Unknown Speaker (13:05): The more air, the less it melts.

Quince Speaker (13:07): No. The more air, the more it melts.

Unknown Speaker (13:09): This is not solid Rob. This is this is practically

Quince Speaker (13:11): all But, also, you left it in the car yesterday.

Unknown Speaker (13:14): No. It it refroze overnight.

Quince Speaker (13:17): Now do you find the texture a problem because of the melting and refreezing?

Mike O'Meara (13:20): But, mean, I don't care because the flavor is so good. I mean, I think that was my doing, you know, and it and it refrozen. Obviously refrozen.

Quince Speaker (13:28): What a shopping freak I am that I pick up frozen items last when I shop, so they're out of the freezer less time to when I go home.

Unknown Speaker (13:38): Mike, I'll for you, Alton.

Quince Speaker (13:40): No. But, I mean, it's it's just it's also, Mike, I pack all my cold items together when I bag.

Unknown Speaker (13:46): Bob Liccardi says vanilla forward. Isn't that the title to an Alton Brown book? Vanilla forward mouthfeel.

Unknown Speaker (13:54): But it is vanilla forward.

Mike O'Meara (13:55): You use all the his BS cooking terminology. Mouthfeel. I hate that term more than anything in the world.

Quince Speaker (14:03): Mouthfeel. Let me ask you. How do it feel in your mouth?

Mike O'Meara (14:07): It feels like I'm eating ice cream. Any any ice cream. I'm good ice cream. How about you use the flavor?

Unknown Speaker (14:12): You're rebelling. So

Unknown Speaker (14:13): Yeah. I'm rebelling because you're a dork.

Quince Speaker (14:16): Never have I ever said anything to the opposite.

Mike O'Meara (14:19): No. It's just that yeah. I I'm I'm yielding here.

Quince Speaker (14:23): I I Let me savor my victory.

Unknown Speaker (14:25): I may I may this might be a staple. I although I don't keep ice cream in the house now. It's not safe. Have no it's not safe for me because I'll eat

Unknown Speaker (14:34): from my bed. Yeah. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (14:35): But also fantastic.

Quince Speaker (14:36): Really, really good. Vanilla is a great base ice cream to keep in stock because if you wanna, you know, if you have pie, a piece of cake. I'm like, what have you what have made? Lost weight.

Unknown Speaker (14:47): Come on.

Unknown Speaker (14:47): I have.

Mike O'Meara (14:48): Yeah. I agree, Rolando. Mouthfeel is a gross term. It's

Quince Speaker (14:52): gross. Mouthfeel. Term. Moist.

Unknown Speaker (14:56): Moist mouthfeel.

Quince Speaker (14:58): And, also, what is it that Guy Fieri says? Oh, tasty.

Unknown Speaker (15:04): This is always unpleasant right here.

Unknown Speaker (15:06): Oh, the chip? Yeah. I've got a couple of

Unknown Speaker (15:08): chip things yet.

Quince Speaker (15:09): At least it's not where your lip goes.

Unknown Speaker (15:11): But, unfortunately, my On

Unknown Speaker (15:14): your mug?

Mike O'Meara (15:14): My other mug, the TMOS mug, one of the two that I that I purchased. Yeah. They they

Unknown Speaker (15:22): were gonna let it slide.

Mike O'Meara (15:24): They I've purchased things on our store. I I've I've I've purchased things. Yeah. When was the last time you purchased something on the store? Fine.

Unknown Speaker (15:32): I don't believe you.

Unknown Speaker (15:33): I actually did no. I did pay retail. I bought, I think, the last five decks of cards. I did because I wanted them. Look.

Unknown Speaker (15:41): I

Unknown Speaker (15:41): think they are. Cheapest. Hey. Blurry. How how do I stop being blurry?

Mike O'Meara (15:45): I I Zoom all the way in.

Unknown Speaker (15:48): Do you have that ability?

Unknown Speaker (15:49): I don't wanna play with the thing today. I really don't.

Quince Speaker (15:52): I play that. See your chipped mug, Mike, I'm thinking what would be great is a scoop of Kirkland super cream vanilla and some root beer. Oh, yeah. That's float. Oh, Mike.

Quince Speaker (16:03): Sharp as a razor.

Mike O'Meara (16:05): Thank you. Welcome to the show. A little bragging, if I

Unknown Speaker (16:08): may. Should we start now?

Mike O'Meara (16:09): We should start. Welcome to the Mike O'Mara show. Hi, everybody in the comments. Really, really, I shouldn't do this because this is under the, heading of don't get happy. But I really have to say I've been really enjoying the comments this week so far.

Mike O'Meara (16:23): It's only Tuesday, and I Mhmm. Loved it yesterday, and they're pretty good. I always keep you're buddy. Good. Lots of new people coming into the comments.

Mike O'Meara (16:31): Yes. You are acknowledged when you come into our YouTube commentary section here. I always keep pie cake and sugar cookies for my vanilla ice cream. There we go, Chris.

Quince Speaker (16:43): You see, this guy's being a dick because I'm saying that

Unknown Speaker (16:46): I applaud him for being a dick.

Quince Speaker (16:48): I always keep I take cream in case something Mike, have you ever had a scoop? This is a great fat guy thing. You could put it in coffee. Oh, absolutely. But one thing I've found out is, do you like, do you ever have toaster waffles in your house, specifically blueberry Eggo toaster waffles?

Mike O'Meara (17:05): For my kid. Yeah. We have some, not now, but we've had them in the past. No.

Quince Speaker (17:10): You toast two of those with a scoop of the ice cream in the middle. That's the best ice cream sandwich in town.

Mike O'Meara (17:16): We have hit the wheelhouse of the comments here. Does Rob have an emergency half gallon in the freezer like he keeps the emergency ham? You always have You know, I don't have.

Quince Speaker (17:26): I haven't had an emergency ham in years. But

Unknown Speaker (17:29): have a Costco vanilla ice cream in your freezer right now?

Quince Speaker (17:32): I have a working half gallon in the upstairs freezer. And in the garage freezer, I have one that is still sealed just in case.

Unknown Speaker (17:39): Did you call did you just call it a working half gallon?

Quince Speaker (17:43): Well, yeah. I mean, it's been that it's open.

Unknown Speaker (17:45): You're is this is real, folks. He is that much. He is that much of a isn't it? He is that much of a nerd, a working half gallon. Well, I

Unknown Speaker (17:56): mean, the one that you would go to.

Mike O'Meara (17:58): What is working? I mean, and how about an opened half gallon working? You're giving it terminology that doesn't applaud you fat ass.

Unknown Speaker (18:06): Come on. I'm giving it to for terminology so it doesn't sound as sad.

Unknown Speaker (18:12): So you bought the, the package like this with the two half gallons in it? In the cardboard box. Yeah. And then you got one that's opened in your kitchen. Yep.

Mike O'Meara (18:21): And then you've got one in the freezer in your garage.

Unknown Speaker (18:24): Yes. Mhmm. And, the one in

Mike O'Meara (18:26): the freezer in the garage is where it stands by for its big moment on stage. Right?

Quince Speaker (18:30): That's right. Mike, it is, right now, it is on the bench, riding the pine as they say.

Mike O'Meara (18:35): Okay. So I if I can do a little bragging, again, this is, I during the, show yesterday, I got a call. And, after the show was over, I was always excited about it. I called I called Rob. I called Rob about it.

Unknown Speaker (18:50): So tense at the end of the show yesterday.

Mike O'Meara (18:53): Well, because I had had, like, a little mini issue with the, travel team, along with a few other parents. And, I'd already talked to the guy, so it was, and and by the way, when I talk to somebody about it, I'm more self deprecating than I am talking about the situation. Sure. I'm real I'm really doing it because I don't think ultimately, this is little league. Their kids, once the emotions go you can't help.

Mike O'Meara (19:19): If you're gonna go to every game and you're gonna be sitting there on the sidelines, you're gonna be watching your kid. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not gonna say, you know, you shouldn't give two s's. There are people that do, though.

Mike O'Meara (19:29): There are people that go and just are completely chill, and then there are people that cheer, and then there are people that, you know, encourage, and there are some that are more vocal than others. There's some that are silent. But at the end of the day, if you're invested in it, if you are engaged in it, there is the, there is the tendency to get a little charged up about it. And then I'm I'm not I'm not embarrassed to say that's I'm in that category.

Quince Speaker (19:52): I get ramped Do you ever get parents that are they look like they're totally inconvenienced to be there? They just look miserable.

Mike O'Meara (20:01): Oh, a 100%. A 100%. They're silent. They don't they don't participate. There are multiple parents I wouldn't even be able to pick out of a lineup that that are on the same team as my kids, so I wouldn't know that.

Mike O'Meara (20:13): But when I talked to the powers that be Yeah. Because I was frustrated, I said and and I felt as though I wanted my my main statement was, what are we doing here? Are we making are we even trying to put, you know, a winning thing together here? Because it benefits the kid's psyche, and it benefits the parent's psyche and all that. So but along with saying that

Quince Speaker (20:40): Yeah. That could really turn negative fast, though. Yeah. But I think it was positive thought.

Mike O'Meara (20:45): Yeah. But it was not a positive call. It was me bitching. And, but at the same time, the point I'm trying to make here is that as I was bitching, I was also saying, look. I it's not the, you know, the be all end all.

Mike O'Meara (20:58): It's just I'm I'm justifying the way the parents felt, and we didn't understand. It was confusion more than anything of a move made by the the, you know, the powers that be. And we were like, why didn't he do this? Why didn't he do this? And nobody really understood to the point where, you know, a couple of people said, is he trying to do this?

Mike O'Meara (21:21): No. Everybody was confused because I went I went into the thread and wrote that. No other parents did.

Quince Speaker (21:28): I can envision not you, mind you.

Mike O'Meara (21:30): Yeah.

Quince Speaker (21:30): But perhaps a a gentleman in a similar mind frame standing up in the bleachers and saying, is he trying to lose?

Mike O'Meara (21:39): It was it was bad. It it was bad. But at the same time, I I like to stress the fact that I I haven't enough perspective to realize that it's, you know, I I can't I'm sorry.

Unknown Speaker (21:56): I am obsessed with the guys. Why is it that Mike can have multiple pairs of shoes, but Rob should not have multiple gallons of ice cream?

Unknown Speaker (22:04): It's half gallons, pal. Anyway yeah.

Unknown Speaker (22:08): And they do come in a two pack, to be fair. We have to I would say time.

Mike O'Meara (22:12): I would say that, Chris writes, do I see any overly angry parents? No. I don't. Not in our group. I don't see that I see bad call.

Mike O'Meara (22:23): Oh,

Quince Speaker (22:24): call me. That means, Mike?

Unknown Speaker (22:25): I have been the most angry parent. I was the parent. Yeah.

Quince Speaker (22:28): If you look around the card game and you can't find the sucker, good news.

Unknown Speaker (22:32): You're the sucker. Terrible. Come on. That come on. That's terrible.

Unknown Speaker (22:35): That's the extent of it. Yeah. Well, that's still pretty angry. Yeah. It is.

Mike O'Meara (22:39): It is. And then when I when he came back out even after the, happening was over, I said, make sure you sweep the plate off so you can see it. That was under my

Unknown Speaker (22:49): Oh, I'm sure it was under your breath. I'm sure it was under your breath.

Mike O'Meara (22:53): That was under my breath. But, anyway Her her Okay. He's in a bunch of different stuff, and I, I called Rob. My, son was, made the, all star team for Yes.

Unknown Speaker (23:03): The spring

Mike O'Meara (23:03): session. And I cool. I thought he, I thought he was a big bowl of bouquet. I didn't think he would do that. And, fortunately, there's enough talent in the 12 year old division that we are the only one, eight u, nine u, 10 u, 11 u, and 12 u last year of little league.

Mike O'Meara (23:18): F u. The only one that has, two two all star teams. He's in the 12 b. I would assume that's the second tier all star game. Doesn't matter.

Mike O'Meara (23:27): They're gonna be playing in the same tournaments, and they're gonna be doing and I'm very excited.

Quince Speaker (23:31): Yell at him for not being in the first tier?

Mike O'Meara (23:33): Hell, I don't even know what the first tier is. I just know there are two tiers. I don't know what my I don't know what the criteria is. I really don't.

Quince Speaker (23:40): I would've at Yeah. The first tier happens when you yell at him after an at bat. The first tier comes from his eye.

Mike O'Meara (23:47): I'm fine. I'm very excited for him. And I've and so Be

When you make that commitment and you drive up, you're you're hoping you have a couple of games to watch and not just one. And then, you know, 10AM, you're in the car. Don't like that.

Mike O'Meara (25:54): Even though her phone is attached to her vagine, she doesn't when I call, it doesn't you know?

Quince Speaker (26:01): And that's that's a rumor at best.

Unknown Speaker (26:03): It was

Quince Speaker (26:03): But the Ridiculous. But I got pure unfiltered excitement, and I know part of the excitement was you were gonna get to tell him. Well, you don't

Mike O'Meara (27:11): You know? I I'm leaving.

Quince Speaker (27:12): Yesterday, it was quite fulfilled. I heard it in your voice.

Mike O'Meara (27:16): I I'm I'm very satisfied. And And you should be. Yeah. The end of real little league. Then it goes on to another, like, kind of a pre little league, pre middle school.

Mike O'Meara (27:25): You know, you're getting ready now after this will be the ramp up to if they're gonna play, you know, high school sports. We'll see what

Unknown Speaker (27:31): happens with that. That's the league where you can take steroids. Right? Just swallowed my saliva. Hold on.

Unknown Speaker (27:36): Just say Yeah. You better wash that down with some ice cream. Mike, that could be the fat content right there.

Unknown Speaker (27:44): Jimmy Hoff is that as you just supposed to hang up on Dirk.

Unknown Speaker (27:50): Anyway, thank you.

Mike O'Meara (27:52): Josh has got a respiratory infection.

Quince Speaker (27:56): Bronchitis, it looks like.

Unknown Speaker (27:57): Is that what it is? Well, you talked to him. Did you talk to him yesterday?

Unknown Speaker (28:01): Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I did.

Unknown Speaker (28:02): Where's Buddy? Did you talk, or did you not talk

Quince Speaker (28:04): to him? I talked to him briefly about a couple things, oriented with this show and another show, and just small talk. He he really did sound bad. I needed a he had a piece of tape that I needed to complete something. Yes.

Quince Speaker (28:17): And I texted it asking him for it at about 10:30. And, you know, he's a pretty good texter, and I got back for he got back to me at 06:30 last night saying, just woke up. Okay. So I think he's healed up

Unknown Speaker (28:30): pretty bad. Yeah.

Quince Speaker (28:31): But he did some telehealth or, like, an urgent care, and that's how he's able to get the steroids. Okay. And when I took those, I literally felt better in, like, six hours. It was amazing. Alright.

Unknown Speaker (28:41): So I hope he feels better.

Unknown Speaker (28:43): I was, I took them in, and I I grew muscles.

Quince Speaker (28:47): You are like Arnold. Right?

Mike O'Meara (28:49): Arnold. I want to, give a reco here. We got just enough time to do it. Yeah. I have the most mad respect for Charlize Theron, I am telling you, this broad 50 years old and bad ass.

Mike O'Meara (29:12): I would give the movie a good solid three and a half to four and a half stars, but don't worry about the movie. It's her. Okay. It's her. Now did you see the publicity stunt where she climbed the rock wall in Times Square, the massive rock wall, and she climbed up the whole thing?

Mike O'Meara (29:30): Sure. I love this. I love that she's 50, and she is, absolutely as stunning as she was when she was a much younger woman.

Quince Speaker (29:38): She's beautiful. We don't have a lot anymore movie stars. She's a movie star. She really is. And gorgeous has been gorgeous for a long time.

Unknown Speaker (29:47): So jealous of Pat Noswell, did he get to be in a movie with her? I mean, that's just so cool.

Quince Speaker (29:51): Yeah. The, the, like, the rock climbing stunt is so appealing as opposed to, like, when Tom Hanks shows up at firefly when he has a movie coming out, which is nothing. It is nothing compared

Mike O'Meara (30:03): to that. So much fun. And, the movie, kinda dumb. You know? It's like a it's called apex, a climbing reference to, you know, people that climb those rock faces that are there.

Mike O'Meara (30:15): I'm gonna tell you something that it it

Quince Speaker (30:17): is not about the brand of reel to reel tape we used to use.

Mike O'Meara (30:20): You're not gonna you're not gonna lose any brain cells watching this movie, but you're certainly going to discern the plot within about five seconds. You're gonna get what it's all about.

Quince Speaker (30:32): We need movies like that. We don't need movies that you have to watch with your ear to eye squinting to follow.

Mike O'Meara (30:38): But it's just her. It's just watching watching her. That's the whole movie, and I found it, phenomenal. She's a badass in this movie. And then, you know, early on and I think when you're older, you root for people that are, you know, on the other side of 50 to, to do stuff, and she is amazing in it.

Mike O'Meara (30:59): And the the rock climbing with all her f words and stuff like that, she's just a ballsy broad, and I and I I really love her committing to that action. Eventually, you can't do what she did unless you are absolutely, in in incredible shape. And here's the cool thing. That she she has you would think that she would have the, what do they call it, the fitness model kind of, shape. No.

Mike O'Meara (31:26): She maintained that kind of willowy supermodel shape and was able to get all this done. She was in phenomenal condition for this movie,

Unknown Speaker (31:36): and I

Unknown Speaker (31:36): thought it was cool.

Quince Speaker (31:37): How did you feel about, Terrence Egerton as La Brocconnier?

Unknown Speaker (31:41): Who's La Broconnier? Is he the, who's That's that's I guess that's

Quince Speaker (31:45): the male lead. I'm looking at the other cast of the movie. The bad guy?

Mike O'Meara (31:48): Is he the Australian? Egerton? I think that I believe because Eric Banya plays her husband at the beginning of the movie. Yeah. Yeah.

Mike O'Meara (31:55): Mhmm. This guy is, he's a good bad guy, but at the same time, it's you know you know what's coming. You know what, what it's all about. It's a chase movie. That's what it is.

Mike O'Meara (32:05): This is a chase movie. She's running away from the bad day at the movie.

Quince Speaker (32:08): They can be well done or poorly done.

Mike O'Meara (32:10): I was looking at my well done, and she wants everybody to watch it on Netflix, and I support it 1000%. And, she, I you know, really on my radar, I like her as the action adventure star when she did the Mad Max movies. I think she's got, she's got chops across all the genres, and she just does an incredible job. And there's a likability to her, and she's very being very open on this press tour, for the movie about what she endured with her father, who was murdered by her, mother and, justifiable homicide in that case, because the dad was an abuser. You know, she she went through a lot in her life, and, I think she, you know, Patton had said she's a she's an incredible lady.

Mike O'Meara (32:54): And, she just I root for people like that that are Yeah. You know, overcoming things and then, showing people what they can do, especially when you live down here where I live and you see people that are 50 years old that already have become old people. And, and that to me, I don't like that. I don't like to see that. I'd rather see somebody that's just fit as a fiddle and going crazy.

Quince Speaker (33:16): There is a a rec center near your house, and one of the most popular activities in your neighborhood is falling down a rock wall.

Mike O'Meara (33:22): We have a new place. I wish I knew the name of it. It's on my it's on the way to my wife's job, and it is a full fledged facility for rock climb I mean, a massive facility for the serious, serious rock climbing, which I think is I think that level of fitness to be able to accomplish that probably is the finest level of fitness a person can be in. You have to be so No. Of course, my body type wouldn't allow me to, you know, get out of a chair much less.

Mike O'Meara (33:55): I I think when you watch people that do this, it's a combination of optimal body weight along with optimal, muscle mass. It has to be. Also, I throw

Quince Speaker (34:10): into that bravery or a way to compartmentalize the fact that what you're doing is everything counterintuitive to staying alive. Yeah. You're climbing up something. Yeah. I mean, that's And they make

Mike O'Meara (34:20): it clear that she's an adrenaline junkie when this happens to to start with, but just fun and just her. Just it's all star power, and it's all her. That's why they pay her the big bucks. So I just wanted

Quince Speaker (34:32): to say where did she go? Doing an action movie because, obviously, she's done romantic stuff. She's done dramatic stuff. She's very funny. She can do it all.

Mike O'Meara (34:38): Oscar winner. Right? Didn't she win an Oscar for, playing that serial killer? You know, you know, and it's amazing when you think how she has transformed her look over the years, how she has gotten ready for a movie role. She's big on that where she takes a lot of time in between roles and gets ready.

Mike O'Meara (34:54): This one looks like she was in training for a very long time. I haven't seen any interviews with her, so I'm not sure. Oh god. A fantasy. Get her on this show just to I love to gush on celebrities.

Mike O'Meara (35:05): I real that sounded dirty. That

Quince Speaker (35:07): was really inappropriate, and that's fine. I know you get excited when you have your ice cream and you start gushing.

Mike O'Meara (35:14): Yeah. I got a little sugar coursing through my veins right now. Alright. I've got tidbits.

Quince Speaker (35:18): Without a doubt, probably your your favorite actress named Charlize.

Mike O'Meara (35:22): 1000%, Rob.

Unknown Speaker (35:25): High praise.

Mike O'Meara (35:25): High praise. Thank you. And not to be confused with Shanice, who was that lady that was nominated for an award in the movie weapons with the red hair who played, John Candy's girlfriend in uncle Buck. This is a real

Quince Speaker (35:41): I can't tell I can't tell which movie she was prettier in, but she's just great. We'll take a break.

Mike O'Meara (37:25): Thank you very much. An FBI affidavit, not a f fide de be. An FBI affidavit. This is, of course, the, shooting fallout that's still going on. A lot of more video servicing of him running through security and exchanging gunfire, with the authorities.

Mike O'Meara (37:43): On Monday, the affidavit revealed additional details about the planning behind the assault with authorities alleging that, Allen, that's the guy's name, on April 6 reserved a room for himself at the Washington Hotel where the event would be held weeks later under its typical tight security. He traveled by train cross country, from California last week, checked himself into the Washington Hilton one day before the dinner with the room reserved for the weekend. So he had this in his mind for, quite some time. The dinner had barely begun when officials say the 31 year old Torrance, California man tried to race past a security barricade near the cavernous ballroom holding hundreds of journalists and their guests that prompted an exchange of gunfire. Did you see the video where he's, and I'm sorry for saying Allen.

Mike O'Meara (38:36): That was the name I I I edit myself.

Quince Speaker (38:38): It's Cole Allen. Right?

Unknown Speaker (38:40): It's Cole Allen. And, did you see the video where

Quince Speaker (38:42): call him Allen. Yeah. That sounds like a first name. I've seen a lot of

Mike O'Meara (38:45): the videos. Which one? Hello. The the video where it's kinda grainy, and he's out in that lobby area where Yes. Running.

Mike O'Meara (38:53): It shows him running. Mhmm. That's, that's it. Let's see. That well, there was an exchange of gunfire.

Mike O'Meara (38:59): He carried with him, Cole Allen, a make sure I've got that name right because I'd hate to be yelled about it, Rob. Okay. Cole Allen carried with him a 12 gauge pump action shotgun that he bought last year and a 38 caliber semiautomatic pistol that he purchased in 2023. He was injured during the attack, the attack, but was not shot. A secret service officer was shot but wearing a bullet resistant vest, and he survived.

Mike O'Meara (39:24): Questions remain about how many shots Allen fired and how many officers discharged, their weapons. So that's what

Unknown Speaker (39:32): we're Thomas Allen is

Mike O'Meara (39:33): his name. Thomas Allen. Thank you so much for that.

Quince Speaker (39:36): A couple other things that I picked up yesterday is I found out that the shooting happened during the salad course, and so they had literally thousands of chateaubriand and lobster tails that weren't served. They donated them allegedly.

Unknown Speaker (39:50): I thought you were doing a bit when you said that.

Unknown Speaker (39:52): No. No. This is this is a question that was actually bandied about on some of

Unknown Speaker (39:55): media. Brought out the salad.

Quince Speaker (39:57): Yeah. And, also, there is video of several newscasters and their buddies walking out taking bottles of wine because they were just leaving. They took the bottles of wine.

Unknown Speaker (40:08): You know?

Unknown Speaker (40:08): And

Unknown Speaker (40:08): Lot of great journalists undercompensated. Can't blame them for that. You know? That's it.

Quince Speaker (40:12): Enjoy it, Angie. The other great, note is is that, you know, at this time, we are remember, folks, we're still at war. And we have a shooting going on, and the president issued a statement yesterday that when he was being evacuated, he did not trip. He was told by the by his special services to duck down. So when, secret service told him to duck down, it looked like he was tripping, but, you know, the the fair the fair Well, I

Unknown Speaker (40:36): think there were a lot of people tripping in that room.

Unknown Speaker (40:39): Yeah, baby. There you go.

Unknown Speaker (40:41): Sorry about that.

Unknown Speaker (40:42): During the salad course?

Mike O'Meara (40:44): Donald and Melania both called for ABC to fire Jimmy Kimmel on Monday after a joke to let yeah. Thin skin after a joke last week in which the late night comic described the first lady as having the glow of an expectant widow. Now anybody who has half a brain knows that that was an age related joke Yeah. And not an assassination joke. This is where there's just no concern.

Mike O'Meara (41:08): There's no concern with bending the truth to the narrative that you wish. That's it. Everybody knows that. But the timing of it was was there. I mean, come on

Quince Speaker (41:18): now. It's not like it's not like the president has ever made fun of other people.

Mike O'Meara (41:23): Remark about the president's wife was part of a routine. On Thursday, Jimmy pretended to deliver a comedy routine at the White House Correspondents Association dinner. That event two nights later was cut short because of the shooting. Let's see. This is the quote.

Mike O'Meara (41:40): People like Kimmel shouldn't have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate, Malomni, said in a social media post. Kimmel described the joke during his Monday night monologue as a light roast about the first couple's age difference and not by any stretch of the definition a call to assassination.

Quince Speaker (42:03): Of course. I show you, Kimmel's entrance from last night when he comes out to address it? It's just he, by all accounts that I've ever read, is a good guy. Just a good, good

Unknown Speaker (42:13): guy. Person.

Quince Speaker (42:14): And to target him is is just been on beyond You know

Speaker 5 (42:22): how sometimes you wake up in the morning and the first lady puts out a statement demanding you be fired from your job? We've all been there, right? You've been there, right, Guillermo?

Unknown Speaker (42:34): Yeah. What

Unknown Speaker (42:36): the heck, Guillermo?

Unknown Speaker (42:38): As you know, they had to cancel the White House correspondent's dinner. And, I

Quince Speaker (42:41): mean, you you recounted what he said, but, obviously, he's still beloved by his audience. And this the fact that this would be the timing in this time in history where you issue something hateful about Jimmy Kimmel, it's almost like it's a distraction.

Mike O'Meara (42:57): And he still, in my opinion, straddles the line between commentary on these things and really getting into it and not being self important like certain hosts could be. I mean, that's the that's the thing about it. Right?

Quince Speaker (43:11): The last one the last late night host of any sort that has a shred, I think, of class.

Mike O'Meara (43:16): Yeah. I agree. And, it's it's silly. It's I just hate it when it's absolutely nonrelated to that, and it's after the fact. And with all the things that have to be dealt with and worried about, that's what you care about.

Mike O'Meara (43:28): And it is. Yeah. It's what they care about, and it's it's very transparent.

Quince Speaker (43:32): Do you think Melania watches a lot of Fallon? I

Unknown Speaker (43:36): don't think so.

Unknown Speaker (43:37): You don't? Okay.

Mike O'Meara (43:37): No. Just checking. Real Housewives, Orange County. Also great. If nobody is going to the movies anymore, maybe the theater chain should think about giving customers some incentives.

Mike O'Meara (43:49): I've got it. Let's charge $50 for a ticket. Yeah. What? Renal Cinemas charge that much for opening night seats to see dune part three in 70 millimeter IMAX theaters this coming December, and the tickets sold out in minutes.

Mike O'Meara (44:06): It's not just Regal that's, bumping up ticket prices in premium formal theaters. Nationwide, the average ticket costs $18, and it's, as high as $30 in major cities. The key to getting people back in the theater is not to charge more because people aren't going. Incredibly greedy, stupid, shortsighted morons. I have to

Quince Speaker (44:30): share Invoke I hate to invoke the the president again, but do you remember when he had a reality show? Yeah. It was called the apprentice. Mhmm. And, one of their assignments was wants to make as much money you can selling lemonade.

Quince Speaker (44:43): And one of the teams said, our lemonade is going to be $5,000 a glass, so you only have to sell one. And that's the same stupid broken strategy

Unknown Speaker (44:53): Yep.

Quince Speaker (44:54): That they're using for for motion pictures. You lower the price. They're jacking up prices.

Mike O'Meara (44:58): They're justification because attendance is down, and, they're still not seeing pre pandemic numbers. Yeah. I get it. You're not seeing that because everybody's getting everything at home.

Quince Speaker (45:07): Get a effing broom and clean up the place. The the theaters are a disaster.

Unknown Speaker (45:11): Reupholster the chairs. Working. Clean, you know, replace the carpeting. You have to you have to do that. Look.

Mike O'Meara (45:17): And I think, ultimately, you have to put more product out. The the the theater owners are not the only people who are responsible. The movie makers have to make movies that are better in large theaters and, you know, gotta give Tom Cruise the tip of the cap with that, right, with Top He did it. And let's see. Anyway, their price Now

Quince Speaker (45:39): your Apex movie your Apex movie was made for Netflix.

Mike O'Meara (45:42): Netflix

Quince Speaker (45:43): is And that has all the that has all the ingredients of a summer blockbuster.

Unknown Speaker (45:47): It does.

Quince Speaker (45:47): That should be packing the people into the theaters, and yet, you know, Netflix is financing it, so it's not gonna happen. You know, today

Mike O'Meara (45:55): It's Rod said, it's a simple equation. You have to make the movie so good that people and people don't have any opportunity to see that other than the theater. That's it. I wouldn't be I wouldn't have a problem with that because it would be another collective thing to do as, as people to go out and support, I would think.

Quince Speaker (46:10): Yeah. Right? I think today, this afternoon, based on some stuff that people have told me, I may go see Michael, just because I wanna see it and what

Unknown Speaker (46:18): I'd love you to. All the talk is about.

Quince Speaker (46:20): Yeah. But but, Mike, here's what's sad. At my age, I have to know if I'm gonna go see it, if I'm gonna take my LASIX.

Unknown Speaker (46:28): Because you're gonna be seated that long?

Quince Speaker (46:30): I'll be seated for two hour. I'll have to pee three times.

Unknown Speaker (46:32): You're just like Charlize Theron. Climb that rock wall, Rob. Go to the theater. Go get it done, buddy. Go ahead.

Mike O'Meara (46:39): I got something for you. The Washington Post. This is happening in your town.

Unknown Speaker (46:44): Oh, our paper of record.

Mike O'Meara (46:45): It says the hippest new event popping up on the nightlife scene is nude drawing nights, like Jack drawing, rose in titanic, that type

Unknown Speaker (46:56): of thing.

Mike O'Meara (46:56): Yeah. One event in Washington DC, you can go to these, is called kink and draw. Another is naked friends, but it's understandable if you've never heard of anything like it since the bar figure drawing scene is fairly new. It's not a class or anything. It's not pretentious.

Mike O'Meara (47:17): People just shell out a few bucks to draw live naked models at a bar while sipping a drink. It's that simple.

Quince Speaker (47:26): So gross. Because One. You know? Because What if

Mike O'Meara (47:30): it's an attractive model? Right?

Quince Speaker (47:32): Sure. Yeah. And and and what if I win the lottery? It's not gonna be an attractive model.

Unknown Speaker (47:36): We know the

Unknown Speaker (47:36): people that get nude.

Mike O'Meara (47:37): But wouldn't you say not gross, but creepy because of the customers if you were gonna

Quince Speaker (47:43): That too. And that makes it gross. But, Mike, when I think of the models that are going to be standing in a bar in DC, I I I say to you this word, real sex 26. That's what it's gonna look like. It's gonna be a lot of Waiter waiter, there's a hair on my martini.

Unknown Speaker (48:01): People show us

Quince Speaker (48:02): a really dirty martini.

Mike O'Meara (48:04): No commitment. No experience necessary as far as the art world. It's not like an art class. The vibe is obviously a little less raucous than a trivia event or karaoke, but people who have done it say the idea of an event like this isn't that much different. Okay.

Mike O'Meara (48:19): Well, that doesn't really tell me anything when you say that, people.

Quince Speaker (48:22): Now if you're seated at the bar, do you think they're, like, elevated above you so you're looking up at them? I've I could say something really gross right now, but I'm not going to. Good, Mike. That shows self control.

Mike O'Meara (48:35): The hosts at these events might even suggest different challenges. Like, this round, draw only with your nondominant hand.

Quince Speaker (48:45): So you've got a guy in a bar watching nude people, and you're telling him to keep his dominant hand free. Not a good idea.

Mike O'Meara (48:54): Or for two minutes, keep your pencil moving on the page. To be clear

Quince Speaker (48:59): Pencil and quotation marks.

Mike O'Meara (49:01): The models are part of the event, so you don't choose someone in your group to be the model. You imagine? It's like, now there, I'm laughing. Yeah. Now I'm now I'm thinking it's pretty fun.

Quince Speaker (49:12): I choose Josh.

Mike O'Meara (49:15): Rob, come on. Rob. God, I wish you were drinking. Anyway, so let me see what they're called because they're in your area. That that's where they found it.

Mike O'Meara (49:24): Naked friends doesn't say and kink and draw. You ought to do a Google search on kink and draw and find out. Now is that the name of Old Town Tavern in Herndon, Virginia.

Quince Speaker (49:33): I was gonna say that's the name of the program, not the name of the tavern.

Mike O'Meara (49:36): Jimmy listens. Hey, Jimmy. I think that's a great hook for you right down in your low lower level on that stage area under the American flag. I disagree, Mike.

Quince Speaker (49:46): I say put them out in the beer garden.

Mike O'Meara (49:47): The beer garden, fine. You know? Well, hey. The weather's getting warmer. That's very, very exciting.

Mike O'Meara (49:52): Super fine. Yeah. If the British tabloids are to be believed, Jessica Beale Lovely. Lovely. Has, just about had it with Justin Timberlake's behavior over the past several years, and she's ready to leave him if he doesn't clean up his act.

Mike O'Meara (50:07): In fact, she's given him an ultimatum to that effect. Now this is the British tabloids. We're not sure where this is sourced.

Unknown Speaker (50:15): Right.

Mike O'Meara (50:16): Apparently, Justin hasn't straightened out since his 2024 drunk driving arrest. Just last week, he was partying a little too hard at a golf tournament in Las Vegas. A source says, quote, there's not much more she can take. He's never home. She does everything with the kids, and she's sick of being publicly embarrassed.

Mike O'Meara (50:35): It's plausible, but

Quince Speaker (50:37): I don't know whether it's a new well, first of all, it was a legendary arrest when he got pulled over, and his remark to the cops was, this is going to hurt the tour.

Mike O'Meara (50:46): Let's ask. Let's let's ask. Because I I've got an a writer from the British tabloids.

Unknown Speaker (50:50): Great.

Unknown Speaker (50:50): Great. Is this, is this legitimate? Is it?

Quince Speaker (50:53): I'll commandeer this stolen money by order of the Peaky Blinders. But it's also nothing new because I know one of Carrie's cousins is on the board at one of the big fancy country clubs in, Hollywood where a lot of the stars are. And he has seen Jessica Biel show up, grab a golf cart, and go out to get Justin off the course and bring him home, like like you would with a child. Okay. So, I mean, there's a lot of I think he's got a reputation for being sort of irresponsible.

Mike O'Meara (51:28): Well, yeah. And, he was funny in that, that DUI arrest where he was just,

Quince Speaker (51:33): you know, world touring. I think he's I think he's greatly talented. He's a party He's Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (51:39): Yeah. It's the age too. It's the age.

Unknown Speaker (51:40): I don't

Unknown Speaker (51:41): know how old

Quince Speaker (51:41): he is. 60 now, isn't he?

Mike O'Meara (51:44): Lizzo. Or or I should whenever I see that name, I like to say it like Charlie.

Unknown Speaker (51:49): Lizzo. Do you like her, Charlie?

Mike O'Meara (51:52): I do, Rob. I do. She's celebrating her 30 birthday yesterday by announcing her next album. It comes out June 5, and the title is simply well, they edited this for my copy. Right.

Mike O'Meara (52:06): It's in parentheses, and it says the b word. So I would imagine the real album is called

Quince Speaker (52:11): bitch. Yeah. Well, you can bet it's not called broccoli.

Mike O'Meara (52:15): The cover is a close-up of her hand flipping the bird, but instead of her middle finger, it's a small picture of Lizzo.

Unknown Speaker (52:23): Oh, that's sweet.

Mike O'Meara (52:24): Isn't that special? Lizzo says the album is about reclaiming the b word. Biatch.

Quince Speaker (52:30): Oh, if you woke up tomorrow, Mike, and you had Lizzo fingers.

Mike O'Meara (52:34): Oh, yum yum. Right in the middle. It's taking a label once used to diminish women and turning it into a declaration of confidence and unapologetic self love. So many incredible women in music have used the word for positivity, positivity. I sounded like Trump just there.

Mike O'Meara (52:53): Positivity. Didn't fall, did you? No. You just lowered yourself. Missy Elliott are two of the people that have used it.

Mike O'Meara (53:00): It has become my favorite word, she says, when using it on my own terms and because I am 100% that bitch.

Quince Speaker (53:09): I wonder if she likes Elton John's take on it or the Rolling Stones.

Mike O'Meara (53:12): So far, Lizzo's released don't make me love you, and she's releasing the title track on Friday of the album, which is the bitch thing, I suppose.

Quince Speaker (53:24): She's doing a great idea to promote it. She will be at Kink and Draw this Friday night. Yes. As a model. As a model.

Unknown Speaker (53:30): That's right.

Mike O'Meara (53:30): Go go check it out, bitch. Moving right along. Traveling with kids is a lot, so it's nice when airlines offer families the chance to be one of the first to board. But a former flight attendant is going viral for saying you should do the exact opposite. This is an interesting concept.

Mike O'Meara (53:50): Here's what she said. Yeah. Okay. Don't come for me, but I think families with babies should board last. The only thing I would have an issue with is with all the stuff that they have to haul on, they usually need some space.

Unknown Speaker (54:05): But but but let's

Unknown Speaker (54:06): go on. That's what I would think. Yeah. Okay. Go ahead.

Mike O'Meara (54:09): She said she's watched parents for years get on early and slowly unravel before we even close the door. Her advice is simple. Board last, sit down, take off immediately. Baby never knows the difference. The pre board privilege is a trap, but not everyone agrees.

Mike O'Meara (54:28): Some parents appreciate the extra boarding time so they can grab overhead bin space, there it is, and not feel so rushed. But the best idea might be a combination of both. One parent boards early to set up, and then the other brings the kids on last teamwork. Well, that that's kind of confusing. It's

Quince Speaker (54:47): too complicated. Here's how you fix it. And you know what? She's got a good point because how many times have you sat forty five minutes before anything happens on a flight? Mhmm.

Quince Speaker (54:55): That's the percentage of your flight that baby has to stay happy. So here's what you do. You board them last, but you allow them to gate check any carry ons.

Mike O'Meara (55:04): Okay. Yeah. Absolutely. That's it for

Quince Speaker (55:06): them last. Stroller, and you leave the bag or whatever.

Mike O'Meara (55:08): It's waiting there, and it's the room they have to do that. That is a great idea. Gate check. Call that flight attendant. I don't know what her name is, but give her a call.

Quince Speaker (55:17): Her name is Lizzo. Lizzo the flight attendant.

Mike O'Meara (55:20): Finally, today, two 18 year olds in Florida were arrested on Saturday after driving a lawnmower through Target. It was a stunt for

Unknown Speaker (55:31): social media.

Mike O'Meara (55:33): Kids are doing that nowadays. One of them drove the lawnmower. The other recorded it. No one was hurt, but they did damage the front door when they banged into it twice trying to drive through. The police also noted that it wasn't harmless because it did endanger other people inside the store.

Mike O'Meara (55:51): Well, I don't know whether they engaged the blades or not. This wasn't the first time the kids have pulled a stunt like this that weekend, the night before yes. What were you

Quince Speaker (56:00): gonna say? No. I'm not saying. I'm just listening raptly.

Mike O'Meara (56:03): They used a leaf blower inside a nearby Culver's restaurant, and they also did that for TikTok. They are now facing charges of disorderly conduct and criminal mischief for both pranks in Florida. That means they are now cleared to attend community college. You go.

Unknown Speaker (56:20): Tall scholarship. Right?

Mike O'Meara (56:21): Yes. Yeah. Tiny little scholarship. My kid talks about it. It drives me nuts.

Mike O'Meara (56:25): That's what they're digging now. People are so squirrelly. They're, they're doing that thing. We gotta take a break. We will come back with more fun and thrills right here.

Mike O'Meara (56:32): You're listening to the Mike O'Mara show show to woah. Woah. Woah. Folks, I'm not getting any younger. In fact, none of us are.

Mike O'Meara (56:38): It seemed like energy crashes at 2PM became my new normal. So, naturally, I went down to the Internet rabbit hole and started googling symptoms like a hypochondriac. Low T kept coming up. Here's the thing. Doctors act like testosterone replacement therapy is no big deal.

Mike O'Meara (58:39): Rob freaks me out anytime he mentions anything medical, and you came to me right before the show today and said I have a medical update. And did you say some good, some bad? Is that what you said?

Quince Speaker (58:52): Actually, part of it was the the wondering about the the Lasix of the movie. But the other thing I found out is I wanna thank, first of all, a lot of people have sent me positive, letters and notes about getting the cataract surgery. It's you know, we talked about it couple weeks ago that I spotted that I've got cataracts and might come back.

Unknown Speaker (59:12): We need you. I'm sorry. And Rob?

Quince Speaker (59:20): You know, I've always wanted to do an episode with Ed Walker.

Unknown Speaker (59:23): Hi there. He's no longer with us, Rob. No longer alive.

Unknown Speaker (59:27): Bless his heart. Bless his heart. One of the Joy Boys.

Unknown Speaker (59:29): Right.

Quince Speaker (59:30): So we went into it, and we talked about the fact what they are and the surgery, and it's not really that frightening. It's really quite accessible. And I I know. I love I'm older

Unknown Speaker (59:41): than you. I deal with that with people that have had that all the time. They love it. They love people. I love the reaction to it.

Quince Speaker (59:46): So I put on my huge readers to look at the documentation again because I was still bemoaning the fact that even after insurance, it was gonna cost $4,500 for the process.

Unknown Speaker (59:56): Right.

Quince Speaker (59:57): Because if I'm going to go in and do it and if it costs a thousand dollars just to get to where I still have to wear readers, I don't wanna do that. I wanna go all

Unknown Speaker (1:00:05): the way. What is your, your prescription for readers? What's the amount that you need?

Unknown Speaker (1:00:12): Hold oh, they're here, actually. Hold on.

Unknown Speaker (1:00:14): Okay.

Unknown Speaker (1:00:14): I think they're 2.5 x. Wow.

Unknown Speaker (1:00:16): No. My readers

Unknown Speaker (1:00:17): are upstate. Yeah. They're big. They really are.

Unknown Speaker (1:00:19): Five. Wow. Yeah. Alright.

Quince Speaker (1:00:21): And so I I put on my huge readers, and I went into the documentation trying to see if I could find something around it. And I did find, something that was not mentioned to me when I was sat down to be sold is that it's $4,500 each eye. So it's $9,000 now.

Mike O'Meara (1:00:39): And would that means, the basic would be $2. Right?

Unknown Speaker (1:00:42): Yeah. Yeah. That's getting out of there for any Okay.

Unknown Speaker (1:00:45): Can I ask you something about that? Yeah. Are they cagey about it? Do they do they

Unknown Speaker (1:00:49): I mean, they tell me each. I mean, the whole thing They did. Well, why the f don't they say that? Come on. I I know.

Quince Speaker (1:00:56): And I'm still bothered by the fact that they didn't tell me they were going to, but then they dilated my eyes before I sat down for the sales pitch, so I couldn't really read the documents.

Unknown Speaker (1:01:07): Do you think they did that and that was hinky? Do you think that was on purpose?

Quince Speaker (1:01:11): Anyone why would anyone go through the process of dilating your eyes then not looking at them? Then we're on. I'm not I'm not going to this firm anymore. No. I'm gonna have to go and I do wanna Hinky.

Quince Speaker (1:01:21): People in the Washington DC, actually, Northern Virginia area that have had good experience with cataract surgeons, throw me a recommendation because I'll shop around.

Mike O'Meara (1:01:30): NODAC seven zero one said, how about $4,500 and an eye patch for the for the bad eye that doesn't get fixed?

Unknown Speaker (1:01:38): Mike.

Mike O'Meara (1:01:38): You know? That's just I mean, I think that the fact that they dilated it before you went to look at paperwork and either an oversight or something a lot worse.

Quince Speaker (1:01:48): But they did but they didn't do any they didn't look at my eyes after Yeah. It was dilated.

Mike O'Meara (1:01:53): Yeah. So it's either they completely forgot to do it, or Mhmm. They're trying to, you know, pull one over. And the fact that they didn't tell you it was each eye is is crazy. That's why they do all those TV commercials.

Quince Speaker (1:02:04): It's mind blowing to me. And, you know, you brought up eye patch, and it just reminded me of one of a a lovely story from my checkered past that I'd like to share. As you know, Mike, I used to indulge in alcohol occasionally. Yeah. And, there was a T shirt signing for, I think, one of the Don and Mike bowls, which means I was probably, like, 21 or 22.

Unknown Speaker (1:02:24): God. Time flies, baby.

Quince Speaker (1:02:26): And I was hitting it pretty hard, and I thought I was okay to drive. And I was just over the limit when I was invited to stay through the courtesy of Fairfax County in one of their dwellings for the evening. And, I do remember when they were going through my possessions because I was coming from a T shirt signing. And for some reason, we had been talking pirates on the show that week. My document that I had to sign said, one set of keys, one wallet, 60 Sharpie pens, and an eye patch.

Mike O'Meara (1:03:00): Man, a wonderfully fun evening that ended in, a problem with Johnny Law.

Quince Speaker (1:03:06): I do remember a a good curveball on that is that behind me in another car was Matt Elliott and Stimpy, Chris Madzik. And when I got pulled over, they just left. They left the scene. Away. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (1:03:18): They wanted nothing to do with it.

Unknown Speaker (1:03:19): Well, I don't think it was that they didn't want anything to do with it. I think that they perhaps didn't wanna linger and meet the officers as well.

Quince Speaker (1:03:25): Well, I would have arranged an introduction.

Unknown Speaker (1:03:27): Yeah. I know you would.

Quince Speaker (1:03:28): That's could see great.

Unknown Speaker (1:03:29): So where where do you stand now with everything? Are you just gonna seek out seek out, other options? They're different things to do it.

Quince Speaker (1:03:37): I'm gonna phone around. And if not, I know you can get a great dog for $200.

Mike O'Meara (1:03:41): You know something, Rob? I will say this that Yeah. The you know, this is not an unusually difficult procedure for people with disease.

Quince Speaker (1:03:50): It's fast, and it's and it's almost like 99.9% without incident, and even incidents can be fixed. But that just seems like a lot of money.

Mike O'Meara (1:04:00): It's the society we live in now where Mhmm. The only people that'll be able to do that are the people that can, peel off, you know, $9. And Without thinking about it. And that's without even thinking about it.

Quince Speaker (1:04:10): This is with top of the line health insurance. Yeah. You know? That's it's not like I'm not there trying

Mike O'Meara (1:04:16): to They don't consider your eyes to be part of your body.

Quince Speaker (1:04:19): They don't. And and according to the guy at the original exam, he said right now, if you were to go into the DMV, it would be a coin flip as to whether or not you could renew your license.

Mike O'Meara (1:04:29): Wouldn't you think that because of that that they would offer some sort of assistance? Yes.

Unknown Speaker (1:04:37): And thanks,

Mike O'Meara (1:04:37): Scoob. Scoob, it's always nice to have your ray of sunshine in the chat group.

Unknown Speaker (1:04:42): What is that a hole?

Mike O'Meara (1:04:43): Prices are all the same for cataract surgery. Thanks. He's something else, isn't he? He really is.

Quince Speaker (1:04:51): And for one thing, that's not true. It's not. Okay. So I'm sorry he's wrong. And I just what I wanna do, Mike, is I wanna balance out quality of care with amount of money laid out.

Unknown Speaker (1:05:03): Well I

Quince Speaker (1:05:03): don't wanna go to, like, a you know, something that's next to a vape shop in a strip mall, but I also don't need to go to the most lauded surgeon in Loudoun County either. I'd be happy just to get my vision back.

Mike O'Meara (1:05:14): Yeah. I think look. It's just ridiculous the way, these people do that. It's why you see the doctors you see and the dentists that you see advertising on the t TV are the people that are putting money in their pockets. There is no insurance.

Mike O'Meara (1:05:29): It's not coverage. And by the way, you know, I would assume that eye care is included in some of these countries that offer universal health care.

Unknown Speaker (1:05:38): I would it would have to be. It should be. It's your vision. It's switch. You're driving.

Quince Speaker (1:05:42): It's everything. Come on, people. Cataracts, actually, was surprised does not fall under vision, falls under actual health care. So it's it's I mean, I have a vision card for, like, prescriptions and and Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (1:05:53): For the cheap stuff.

Unknown Speaker (1:05:54): Yeah. Exactly. That covers pair

Mike O'Meara (1:05:56): of effing contact lenses, but you're not gonna get anything. It's gonna really help you.

Quince Speaker (1:05:59): Meanwhile, running around my house with Swifty Luxar glasses trying to find my keys.

Mike O'Meara (1:06:04): Yeah. I mean, it's it it sucks. Good luck with that. I hope it works out for you. But, I mean, I you know, it's look.

Mike O'Meara (1:06:10): I I think anything cosmetic, I'm okay with that. I'm okay if you think you need a facelift, but you really don't because it's not medically necessary. It's really not medically necessary.

Unknown Speaker (1:06:23): You're right. You're right.

Unknown Speaker (1:06:24): But your vision totally necessary. It could kill you. If you're you know, is it is it worse at night when you're driving a car

Unknown Speaker (1:06:31): at night? Of course, it is.

Unknown Speaker (1:06:33): God damn it.

Quince Speaker (1:06:33): Stuff now that I look for that he told me is, like, he says sometimes when you wake up in the morning, your vision will be better than other times. Okay. I get that. Right. You'll get flares around bright lights.

Quince Speaker (1:06:44): It's almost impossible for me to drive into sunlight even with sunglasses and a visor because my eyes are hypersensitive to that.

Unknown Speaker (1:06:51): Is that because of the cataracts that they're hypersensitive?

Quince Speaker (1:06:54): Mhmm. And, also, I have horrible erectile dysfunction. And I don't know if that's related to the cataracts or not, but, anyway, you know, it couldn't hurt

Quince Speaker (1:09:00): I don't even have the comments open, so it it'll be totally safe.

Mike O'Meara (1:09:04): Now so be aware that we'll do that tomorrow. I came up with a list for today, but I wanna discuss my favorite new product that I that I like a lot. Do you now this to you, Rob, would look like a lovely green belt. Right? Isn't that nice?

Unknown Speaker (1:09:16): An ex A green belt from, like, the Land Of Oz.

Unknown Speaker (1:09:18): Well, you know what? When you do a lot of golf, you know, some some of it is color forward.

Quince Speaker (1:09:24): And it would go with the jacket that you hope to someday win.

Mike O'Meara (1:09:27): Oh, the green jacket. No. I'm wearing a green shirt, and I'm wearing sort of off green olive pants, and so it it works. And I got my little green buckle here. But Mhmm.

Mike O'Meara (1:09:35): Can I tell you what makes this buckle unique, Rob Spiwack?

Unknown Speaker (1:09:38): Yeah. Please.

Mike O'Meara (1:09:38): Are you familiar with the ratchet belt? I am not. Okay. So if you can, please explain the mechanism of a regular belt that would hold up your pants, how you use it.

Quince Speaker (1:09:50): First of all, a regular belt would never be green. But normally

Mike O'Meara (1:09:54): I I brought it in there because I thought it would be funnier to show people

Unknown Speaker (1:09:57): You know, it actually is.

Mike O'Meara (1:09:58): My green belt. You know? And by the way, this is part of it. It actually, I my waist size, it actually this the end of this belt is out in the garage.

Quince Speaker (1:10:08): Now didn't you earn that from your judo classes?

Unknown Speaker (1:10:10): Yes. I did. I'm a green belt.

Quince Speaker (1:10:12): So, and also, Mike, one of your favorite places in Maryland. Mhmm.

Unknown Speaker (1:10:17): Yes.

Quince Speaker (1:10:18): So so a regular belt What

Unknown Speaker (1:10:20): is it? I missed

Unknown Speaker (1:10:20): that. Oh, Green Belt.

Unknown Speaker (1:10:22): Yeah. Green Belt, Maryland.

Unknown Speaker (1:10:23): Have you been gone that long?

Mike O'Meara (1:10:25): Sorry. Yeah. I have, actually. Yeah.

Quince Speaker (1:10:26): Sad. Okay. Regular belt will have a buckle with a pin, and then on the far side of the belt, there'll be holes, and you put the holes, you thread it through the buckle, pull it back until it's tight, put the pin in the hole, and it holds the belt there.

Unknown Speaker (1:10:40): Pin in the hole.

Quince Speaker (1:10:42): Right. And then you tuck it in. But but the problem with the pin in the hole, and I'm forgive me if I'm thinking ahead, is it normally only gives you about an inch to an inch and a half of play per size. It's not very exacting.

Mike O'Meara (1:10:54): Alright. So this is what I like to, I have now. You know how I get obsessed No. With things like shoes and sunglasses and reading glasses. I I because now because, you know, as I slowly, you know, as I slowly continue on the road to bankruptcy, I really what I what I like to do is purchase things that, you know, do not cause a a real uproar in the old checking account.

Mike O'Meara (1:11:19): Sure. I use I'm gonna I'm hold it up really close. This is a ratchet belt.

Quince Speaker (1:11:26): So on one side, it's got, like, a texture, almost like a a series of bumps.

Mike O'Meara (1:11:33): Yes. And what you do with the ratchet belt is you thread Right. This through. Right.

Unknown Speaker (1:11:40): And then Into the buckle.

Unknown Speaker (1:11:42): Do it when you put it in. And then it's

Unknown Speaker (1:11:46): It's like a zip tie for a fat person.

Mike O'Meara (1:11:48): See? That well, it's not fat per it's not for fat people. It's I'm fatter, but, I mean, it's not this is for anybody.

Quince Speaker (1:11:56): Zip tie for your pants.

Mike O'Meara (1:11:58): What it does is it eliminates the wear and tear of the, buccal penis that goes into the, buccal vagina.

Quince Speaker (1:12:07): That's it. Understand. Thank you for under for spelling it. Where does the tail go? Does it still come out front and then you tuck it in your belt loop?

Unknown Speaker (1:12:13): There it is.

Unknown Speaker (1:12:14): Wow.

Unknown Speaker (1:12:14): It's right there.

Unknown Speaker (1:12:15): Easy is the release?

Mike O'Meara (1:12:16): The ease alright. The release. I'm glad you asked. Thank you. If you the release is right here.

Unknown Speaker (1:12:21): Mhmm.

Unknown Speaker (1:12:22): Hold on. Can you release it? Oops. I gotta do it on

Unknown Speaker (1:12:25): this side. It's it's right. See it? Yeah. Okay.

Unknown Speaker (1:12:29): It's a button.

Unknown Speaker (1:12:29): Yeah. It's really easy.

Quince Speaker (1:12:32): Yeah. Just like that. It is easy. But, I mean, I would be afraid, you know, you could trick people if you gave them a ratchet belt that had no release.

Mike O'Meara (1:12:39): And it's strangely satisfying. Listen to this.

Quince Speaker (1:12:44): I'm thinking zip tie you know, zip ties give me satisfaction too. Is that a TMU product?

Mike O'Meara (1:12:49): No. It might be I think it's a an Amazon product. Now you might say it's a TMU. How do you get it just right? Well, you get it just right by the belt comes with its own buckle, and then oh, no.

Unknown Speaker (1:13:03): This is gonna

Quince Speaker (1:13:03): be hard. So you can adjust the buckle against the other side of the belt? Yes. And is that just like a normal clip?

Unknown Speaker (1:13:10): Okay. Here we go. So Okay. Flip it up. You flip this up.

Mike O'Meara (1:13:13): The buckle comes off. Right. Alright. Just like this. And then it comes out.

Unknown Speaker (1:13:18): Come on, Michael. Alright. Wait a minute. Alright.

Quince Speaker (1:13:21): You would not do good on QVC.

Unknown Speaker (1:13:23): Alright. Hold on just a second. Oh, see? Okay. Okay.

Unknown Speaker (1:13:25): And then

Unknown Speaker (1:13:25): what you do is you cut.

Quince Speaker (1:13:28): That's brilliant.

Mike O'Meara (1:13:29): You cut the belt and you size it. You get a variety of you know, you get a range of sides, and then you cut it along that, and then you put it back into the little buckle, and it

Quince Speaker (1:13:42): works fine. Order, like, a 65 or a 70 inch belt and then cut it down to my size.

Unknown Speaker (1:13:47): You could. Yeah. You could you could take an inch off and then get it just right.

Quince Speaker (1:13:51): Do they offer do they offer different sizes, or is it just one size?

Mike O'Meara (1:13:55): They offer a range sizes. Small, medium, large, extra large, that type of thing. But it's a beautifully designed piece, and I have multiples because I like to have a good I was never a really big belt person until they came up with these because I like them so bad because there's the the fit is so much nicer.

Quince Speaker (1:14:13): Exacting. I I remember back before these that you were a suspenders guy.

Mike O'Meara (1:14:19): Before those stupid suspenders. I want an apology for being called an a hole when Rob finds out the prices are the same for cataract surgery.

Unknown Speaker (1:14:28): He makes me I'll I'll tell it's top of my list.

Mike O'Meara (1:14:31): I love you, Scoob. I love your participation. Thank you very much for that. When

Unknown Speaker (1:14:36): you find out, like, he's now he's rooting for you to find out that the prices are all the same. You know what? There's so many good things that can happen to you in a day, but when you find out you are loved,

Mike O'Meara (1:14:46): that's the most. Beloved. So ratchet belt, remember?

Unknown Speaker (1:14:48): I love it. Yes. By the way, and I'll give them

Mike O'Meara (1:14:50): a plug. I don't care. I'd love to advertise them on the show, but there's a particular version of these belts on Amazon, and it's called Jukmo. This is where I wish I had this is where we need Josh. Jukmo.

Mike O'Meara (1:15:04): Okay. J u k m o, and they are magnificent. I don't think the one I showed you is a Juukmo, but it's a very similar mechanism they have.

Quince Speaker (1:15:14): Does Juukmo come in a very, a very huge selection of colors?

Mike O'Meara (1:15:18): Not really. No. No. They've got, pretty standard stuff. Pretty like, you know, the brown, your brown and your black and stuff like that.

Quince Speaker (1:15:25): Maybe you're right. Hoping for, for this July, maybe you and Josh and I could get red, white, and blue belts. Speaking of

Unknown Speaker (1:18:56): Let's do it.

Unknown Speaker (1:18:57): I like that. Some beautiful video. Time.

Quince Speaker (1:19:01): Mike, I know that going back into the heyday, we both were fans of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. He used to play them a lot on college radio.

Mike O'Meara (1:19:09): Mhmm.

Quince Speaker (1:19:09): And their their real success came even after that in the nineties.

Unknown Speaker (1:19:12): But Give it away. Give it away. Give it away now.

Quince Speaker (1:19:17): There's a a a page on YouTube that I go to a lot called there I ruined it. They do musical stuff. Mhmm. And I think this is pretty brilliant. This is, what a Red Hot Chili Peppers song sounds like to someone who has never heard the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Unknown Speaker (1:19:32): Okay.

Unknown Speaker (1:20:08): The only problem is is that their lead vocalist actually sings a little better than Anthony Kiedis. That's the only problem.

Unknown Speaker (1:20:13): But And

Unknown Speaker (1:20:13): the thing about it is, though, you'll still if you like the red

Unknown Speaker (1:20:16): hot chili peppers, you like that even though, you know, even the fake song is fun. I like

Quince Speaker (1:20:20): that a lot. Wanna memorize the lyrics. My godson my godson, your son, Michael, Does he still like Legos? I know Legos are red hot.

Mike O'Meara (1:20:30): Not necessarily as much, you know? Yeah. The answer would be yes. The short answer would be absolutely he does. He's not as into him as he was, but he he still likes a good Lego.

Unknown Speaker (1:20:41): He does.

Unknown Speaker (1:20:41): Okay.

Mike O'Meara (1:20:42): Has he ever been scammed? Like, with fake Legos?

Unknown Speaker (1:20:46): Oh, something much better than that, Mike.

Unknown Speaker (1:20:47): I don't know. Share it with me.

Speaker 3 (1:20:49): Police say the Target shopper in Irvine went for expensive Star Wars and Marvel Lego sets. He committed crimes, they say, when he returned the collectibles for cash. Instead of handing over a complete set of Lego pieces, Jerrell Augustine is accused of filling the box with something you'd expect in the kitchen, pasta.

Unknown Speaker (1:21:09): Yeah. So one of the

Unknown Speaker (1:21:10): cases that occurred here in Orange County

Unknown Speaker (1:21:12): That's Ziggy. Azercon.

Unknown Speaker (1:21:15): Instead of Legos, they found bags of dried pasta.

Speaker 3 (1:21:18): The scam, investigators say, is to mimic the sound of Legos when you shake the box. 28 year old Augustine from the city of Paramount allegedly stole Lego figures and other pieces from the sets, sealed up the boxes, and got refunds at Target in places like Costa Mesa, Irvine, and Westminster as well as out of state.

Quince Speaker (1:21:38): Officer Ziggy does not have patience for people that put pasta in your Lego box.

Mike O'Meara (1:21:42): Alright. So here it is. Okay. So this is your crime. Yes.

Mike O'Meara (1:21:47): You how how he's gotta buy the Legos to start oh, he steals the Legos.

Quince Speaker (1:21:53): No. He buys them. Yeah. Opens the box. Right.

Quince Speaker (1:21:57): Replaces small parts with bags of pasta, then reseals the box. It's the same weight and sound when you shake it, returns it, gets the cash back, but sells the other pieces on the, I don't know, the Lego black market, I

Unknown Speaker (1:22:10): guess. The black market without the box

Unknown Speaker (1:22:12): because he Without the box.

Mike O'Meara (1:22:14): Do you think he saves the instructions too on how to put it

Quince Speaker (1:22:17): all together? You know, I think he probably makes a photostatic copy.

Mike O'Meara (1:22:21): I want more. I want more on this story. I wanna find out exactly how he goes about doing that because, I mean, if you don't have the, you know, the nice little box that shows you what it's supposed to look like, that's kind of a big deal. But But

Quince Speaker (1:22:32): if he who knows? It looked like he was only stealing the little things, like the figures and guns and little and I've, you know, I've got a couple mini LEGO Elvices because why not? Right. And they're they're tiny. So but I still paid, like, $5

Unknown Speaker (1:22:46): for them. Do you ever think if you didn't have a few of those that maybe a few less of those mini Elvices and maybe your eyes would be in better shape.

Quince Speaker (1:22:53): Yeah. But, Mike, if I had better eyes, I'd look at my shelf and I'd say, where are the little Elvises? Where have they gone?

Unknown Speaker (1:22:59): Well well said.

Quince Speaker (1:23:01): Thank you. Two shots. You you don't beat Boggs much, but there's a couple guys that I didn't say not at all. I just said not much. Here's a pair of guys that appear to be very close, and they're, they actually did an entry video to the world beatbox championships.

Quince Speaker (1:23:19): And I watched and watched because I thought it might be fake, but I think it's real. These guys are nothing short of fantastic.

Unknown Speaker (1:23:26): And we're from The USA.

Unknown Speaker (1:23:28): They're from The USA. From The USA.

Unknown Speaker (1:23:40): That's a good one.

Quince Speaker (1:23:43): Great. And then they went out and got coffee.

Mike O'Meara (1:23:56): I'm just trying to look at the guy on the right. It was not there's a little latency with the video, and I was trying to figure out how he was getting that sound. The guy on the right's the star. I mean, that's just incredible how he does that.

Quince Speaker (1:24:08): Some of those low sounds might be actually inhaling.

Unknown Speaker (1:24:10): Like, you know? Yeah. You

Quince Speaker (1:24:14): could absolutely do it. And, also, they're using good mic technique. They've got s m sevens that they're doing close and far with. But, I want to also play you today, Mike.

Unknown Speaker (1:24:22): This has nothing to do with boxer. Tommy Dorsey.

Quince Speaker (1:24:25): Oh, the greatest beatboxer of them all. You know the name of the song you just did? No. I'm getting sentimental over you.

Mike O'Meara (1:24:48): Thank you very much. Thank you, Scoob. Scoob gave you a 8 $10 towards your cataract. Oh, thank you.

Quince Speaker (1:24:54): That's great. You know what? I just found a place that does them for $10, Soups.

Mike O'Meara (1:24:58): So Very exciting. Go ahead. I interrupted you.

Quince Speaker (1:25:00): Don't you love the feel good news story that's attacked by the goofy and happy, jive, newscasters? Mike, there was a flight from, let me get this right, from Atlanta to Portland, and talk about one that porters love to talk about.

Speaker 6 (1:25:18): Now here's a story you don't hear every day. Guy. At Portland International Airport say baby was born on a flight to PDX. FOX tells BENSY BARRA talked to a passenger on board that plane and has more on this miracle delivery.

Unknown Speaker (1:25:31): A Delta flight took to 153 customers in tow, but there was one more passenger on board once the plane landed here at Portland International Airport. It was a normal night in the sky for Delta flight 478 when the unthinkable happened.

Speaker 8 (1:25:48): It was pretty wild just to see

Speaker 7 (1:25:50): it all happen. Atlanta resident Jess Cushionberry was traveling to Portland with her daughter Taylor when there was a medical emergency in the back of the plane on Friday night. Cushionberry says flight attendants were able to assist the passenger, but then shortly after, less than a half hour away from landing at PDX Airport, there was another emergency.

Unknown Speaker (1:26:09): Oh, no.

Speaker 8 (1:26:10): So I actually didn't realize what was going on at first. Duh. And somehow my seatmate found out that there was being a baby born.

Quince Speaker (1:26:18): There's being a baby born. Born. Exactly. Thank you, man. Think about that the next time you ask for a blanket on a Delta flight.

Mike O'Meara (1:26:25): Very, hey. You know, he wasn't being lazy, though. He got the, home pictures off the phone of a lady that was, doing the being a baby.

Quince Speaker (1:26:32): I get a hunch that that guy spends a lot of time on Facebook. That really wasn't a big grab for him. But, anyway, mother and baby doing well. Yum yum. Let's close this, Mike.

Quince Speaker (1:26:41): One of the great families in, in NASCAR, the Wallace family. Did you see what happened at the Rusty Wallace? Yeah. But Bubba Wallace is the one running the 23 car now. Bubba.

Unknown Speaker (1:26:51): And, he took a bit of a, a missed turn at Talladega over the weekend. Have you

Mike O'Meara (1:26:55): seen racetrack. No. But a very dangerous racetrack. Absolutely.

Quince Speaker (1:26:58): This, makes me not feel so bad about let's close with this, about flipping my car when I flipped my car.

Unknown Speaker (1:27:03): All the way down the back. Furrow away

Unknown Speaker (1:27:05): at Bonos is in the wall. Bob, can you start

Unknown Speaker (1:27:08): it again? Start it again, please.

Unknown Speaker (1:27:09): Okay. Yeah. Here we go.

Unknown Speaker (1:27:12): All the way down the back.

Unknown Speaker (1:27:13): Oh. Furnaway and Bolos is in the wall after contact. Right front of back, Blaney's around. Lugano's around. They're all wrecking.

Unknown Speaker (1:27:20): This is the big one. That's the whole field. Wow. Mike, when the wreck was complete cars were in front of the crash. There were four cars left on the track after that crash.

Unknown Speaker (1:27:36): Yes, sirree. I had Denny Hamlin in my house one time. Yeah. But he didn't do that. You gotta leave that to Bubba.

Unknown Speaker (1:27:42): FedEx car. FedEx car, everybody. You would have

Unknown Speaker (1:27:45): Oh, 23 car hit the wall, Bubba. Wow.

Mike O'Meara (1:27:48): That's accurate. It's, known to be a very dangerous racetrack. We gotta get out of here. Hopefully, he'll be breathing and functioning,

Unknown Speaker (1:27:56): you know. And by the way, if he just wants to you know, it was

Unknown Speaker (1:27:59): funny because he's talking about his voice doesn't sound really good. Well, he doesn't talk as much as you and I anyway, so he can just come down and look sick in the lower right

Quince Speaker (1:28:06): hand corner What or if the bronchitis medicine restored his ability to say the letter g? Wouldn't that be a miracle? We'll see if he's back tomorrow. Thank you
