Rob Spiwack (9:40): They had sort of a DC lean for a while because remember the McLaughlin group, even though that was a national thing, it was big.

Mike O'Meara (9:47): Not McLaughlin.

Rob Spiwack (9:49): McLaughlin group was absolutely a DC thing. Yeah. That was DC. I mean, was a whole bit.

Unknown Speaker (10:17): That's giving him all the best of it.

Mike O'Meara (10:18): You're gonna but they promoted him this way, Rob, and you are gonna laugh your ass.

Unknown Speaker (10:22): I can't wait to see

Unknown Speaker (10:23): this. This is really

Unknown Speaker (10:26): He's Mark Russell, America's funniest political savior. He's back on PBS with a brand new election year

Unknown Speaker (10:33): coming the special.

Unknown Speaker (10:34): I understand that Al Gore's planning to run for president in the year 2000. President Gore, He's such a bore. What's

Unknown Speaker (11:22): chest Oh, god.

Unknown Speaker (11:24): Mine eyes have seen the latest polls dole 16 points before.

Unknown Speaker (11:29): The Wall Street Journal says the genius of Mark Russell is that he takes songs we all know and changes the words from what they regularly are and thinks in things about politics that are real funny.

Unknown Speaker (11:40): I understand Ross Perot wasn't allowed in the televised debate. He's with

Unknown Speaker (11:44): a song about all that. Ross Perot. Ross Perot. Ross

Unknown Speaker (12:55): as a long drive. Yeah.

Mike O'Meara (12:56): Drove by all the Josh stuff. Drove by all the fun stuff. It looked real

Unknown Speaker (13:00): like this?

Mike O'Meara (13:01): It has it really has kind of a, it has a, Las Vegas kind of vibe when you drive through the center of Orlando where you see all the themes

Unknown Speaker (13:08): All the building blocks.

Unknown Speaker (13:09): And all that. Yes.

Unknown Speaker (13:10): Signs and everything. Yeah.

Rob Spiwack (13:31): And it added a long time to our

Mike O'Meara (13:33): particular individual wanted to go to Twin Peaks.

Rob Spiwack (13:46): I just remember because I was pissed because he kept talking about how amazing it was gonna be.

Unknown Speaker (13:53): It was Oscar.

Rob Spiwack (13:54): And it sucked, and the food sucked. And he was wearing, like, a warm up jacket, but it had a place where you could hook the sleeves into your thumbs. And I just said, that's stupid. What are you doing?

Unknown Speaker (14:08): It's so when you run, your sleeves don't ride up on you.

Unknown Speaker (14:45): Nice that you can now go buy cables pretty much anywhere?

Mike O'Meara (14:47): It is wonderful. It is, it is wonderful. And I I am not exaggerating when I say not not an hour ago. I was driving on the streets of Orlando, and I saw a billboard. I I think I saw it correctly.

Mike O'Meara (15:03): I veered into the right lane. We were making two left hand turn lanes, and I was trying straining my neck so much to see craning my neck to see this billboard. I swear to god, if I am not mistaken, the billboard said, Urinetown. You're in town.

Unknown Speaker (15:22): Now I believe that's a play.

Unknown Speaker (15:24): It's a Broadway musical. Oh, Broadway.

Mike O'Meara (15:27): Yeah. See. There I am out of the loop again. I you're in town. That's that's what it was.

Rob Spiwack (15:34): You're you're in Mike, you are in town.

Mike O'Meara (15:38): So what is you're in town? Is it it's a Broadway play?

Unknown Speaker (15:41): I think it was off Broadway, but it was in New York when we were up there. It was you know what? I kind of put it in the same sort of scope as puppetry of the penis. I think they were both going on at the

Unknown Speaker (15:54): same shock kind of shock value Yeah. Exactly. What we're doing here. Alright. I understand now.

Unknown Speaker (15:58): Oh, what a bummer. I was really thinking I'd I'd stumbled on something special, but I didn't because I did because I'm dumb. Well, all you

Unknown Speaker (16:05): had to do is roll down the window to make sure.

Mike O'Meara (16:07): You're in town. We're in you're in town, everybody. Alright. So the the the baseball tournament is either going once again, we fall into the category

Unknown Speaker (16:21): breath. It's gonna be okay.

Mike O'Meara (16:23): Well, we fall into the category of not knowing, anything other than where? Yeah. Today, what time today, and what uniform today. Outside of that, how does the turn how does the tournament work? Don't know.

Mike O'Meara (16:38): Okay. How long does the tournament last? Don't

Unknown Speaker (16:41): know. So they don't even give you a win loss. If we win, we do this. If we lose, we do this.

Rob Spiwack (16:45): Don't know. Once again, they expect all parental units to be on standby. You're like the ENT.

Mike O'Meara (16:51): Are there any other locations in the area that will be used? Don't know. So we are

Rob Spiwack (16:59): Is there any chance that the game will be played in Fantasyland?

Mike O'Meara (17:04): I the whole amusement park thing up here right now, I I know one thing that if we play one game today, that is gonna be a remarkable amount of downtime.

Unknown Speaker (17:17): Sure.

Mike O'Meara (17:17): And I don't really know what I wanna do. Now there is talk among the parents who are staying at one of the other local hotels because they don't have dogs.

Unknown Speaker (17:27): Mhmm.

Mike O'Meara (17:28): You know, the only reason we took the dogs with us is financial because to board animals now in any facility whatsoever.

Unknown Speaker (17:38): Oh, it's ridiculous.

Unknown Speaker (17:40): Yeah. But

Unknown Speaker (17:40): have you know friends?

Mike O'Meara (17:41): Dollars a night. That's a thousand dollars.

Rob Spiwack (17:43): It's more than you're paying for yourself.

Unknown Speaker (17:45): It's insane.

Rob Spiwack (17:47): Do you have any neighbors that you could have come in and walk and water them just for a couple days?

Unknown Speaker (17:53): I have used the Wag app before,

Unknown Speaker (17:56): which is What is kind of a Wag?

Unknown Speaker (17:58): That is where you schedule on the app for someone to come by your house and get the dogs out of the cage, walk them, and recover

Mike O'Meara (18:05): that. Trust it. I don't trust it. I'm a little paranoid about that. Now, one of the other thoughts that I said to my wife earlier today in a very sweet tone was, why can't we use one of the neighbor boys?

Unknown Speaker (18:15): Yeah.

Mike O'Meara (18:16): Exactly. And that's that's, you know, I because I, after last night, I thought that perhaps the dogs would not be making the trip up north when we go to the great state. I mean, I'm getting she just walked back in with them.

Unknown Speaker (18:28): That's nice. And I

Mike O'Meara (18:29): am getting the evil eye right now. What about, having one of the neighbor boys? Yeah. Right.

Unknown Speaker (21:00): That's all I do. Okay. So, generally, I go with I'll grab a Danish, some yogurt, a fruit.

Rob Spiwack (21:05): Yogurt is a strong offering. What I really can't go for are the, if you get them, the square eggs where they get obviously, like, a quart of scrambled egg goo.

Unknown Speaker (21:16): Oh, I

Rob Spiwack (21:16): And they just pour it in, and they bake it, and then they come out, and it's slice it. Not a fan of that. Breakfast sandwiches are good if you can get them.

Mike O'Meara (22:37): Yes. I'm we have three hours before we have to be at the ballpark.

Unknown Speaker (22:41): So I am helping Mike to plan his schedule. Yes. I'm trying to see how Saturday and Sunday lays out based on wins and losses.

Rob Spiwack (22:59): Okay. I'm just checking. You know, I'm not a sports guy.

Unknown Speaker (23:11): up here for a You have a game today, a game tomorrow, seed games, Saturday morning, then the bracket starts Saturday afternoon into Sunday.

Rob Spiwack (23:19): Simple. God. Mike, you'll be home by Thursday at the latest, maybe Friday.

Unknown Speaker (23:24): This is crazy. This is crazy. This is crazy. This is crazy.

Unknown Speaker (23:28): Heavy chase and vacation.

Mike O'Meara (23:30): So it we're here, and I'm excited, and we're gonna have a, a lot of fun. I have a question that I don't understand why. I know nothing about automobiles. I am not a car Okay. Mechanic.

Mike O'Meara (23:42): I don't work on cars. I don't but I have been fixing more things around the house, and I found myself now inundated and fascinated with guys that buy cars that are undervalued or junkers at auctions or messed up in a wreck, and they bring them back to life. There was a guy that had a Mercedes Benz GT that he got at an auction. Now he paid a lot for it, but he paid half of what it was worth. And this car, wouldn't run.

Mike O'Meara (24:13): And there were like there was dust all over it. And and suddenly he gets it in his shop and he finds a fuse, and it connects the fuse basically and starts the car. And then gets everything else working.

Rob Spiwack (24:24): Essentially, that's what Josh does at the bins just with clothes, not cars.

Unknown Speaker (24:28): Except I don't trust any of these car guys.

Unknown Speaker (24:31): I can speak

Unknown Speaker (24:32): to this, though, Mike.

Unknown Speaker (24:33): This car has been in and out of shops and then abandoned, and the guy's like, oh, it's just a fuse. Let me put this $5 thing in, and the car's perfect.

Unknown Speaker (24:42): Yeah.

Mike O'Meara (24:42): Yeah. That's and they don't show you the videos where of all the misses that they probably Right.

Rob Spiwack (24:46): I can I can speak to it, Mike? Do you remember you know, I had I've bought three Caprices in my life, the Chevy Caprices, one of my all time favorite automobiles.

Mike O'Meara (24:54): Didn't you buy one from a police chief at

Rob Spiwack (24:56): some The gray one that was overpowered, that was bought at a Pennsylvania auction. I bought that car at auction.

Mike O'Meara (25:04): Right.

Rob Spiwack (25:05): And it was the chief of police's car for Gaithersburg, Maryland when I did the when I ran the title. And I got it really cheap. I think it was $1,200 or something like that because it was an auction, and I still needed to put, like, 2 and a half or $3 into it. But, you know, when all was said and done, I got a great car for about $5,000 all told. Yeah.

Rob Spiwack (25:28): So, I think but that was back in the day when it wasn't like fuses that you needed to worry about. It was a much simpler engine.

Unknown Speaker (25:35): You didn't have an electronic system that everything has now where you have to put codes in and you have the codes that you what's

Rob Spiwack (25:40): going on. You know, it was a little it was a little dicey when I first took it in to get it worked on, but when all was said and done, it was a good experience. I liked it. I thought

Mike O'Meara (25:49): I I I just love these videos. I love the fact that they and and maybe they are scamming me, Josh, but they bring them back from the dead.

Rob Spiwack (25:56): Well, they're not gonna show any bad stories.

Mike O'Meara (25:58): Well, no. You're But they do show the problems on some of these cars. They they run into problem after problem, and they end up, essentially buying big chunks of the car, you know, when it gets

Unknown Speaker (26:10): to It also is what makes old cars great. It's invisible. Yeah. Newer cars, no. You just have to trash them.

Mike O'Meara (26:17): Yeah. And this car so this car was expensive, as these shows go. It was a Mercedes Benz GT something, that had, only 800 miles on it, but they had used it for demo purposes. It was owned by Mercedes Benz. It was, I think, less than a nine and eight, 900 miles.

Mike O'Meara (26:40): And the car was it? Fairly recent? Maybe a 2017 or '18.

Unknown Speaker (26:46): Okay. Yeah.

Mike O'Meara (26:47): And it was a muscle car. It was a twin turbo V eight. You've seen these on a they go for the brand new, they go for, like, $200,000. Yeah. We got this for $75, and the little it's amazing when you see the little things that don't work on the car.

Mike O'Meara (27:04): You've got, for example, this car had, a propensity to have dashboard trouble where when he picked the car up, the entire dashboard had kind of curled up like it had been sun damaged, and he had to replace the whole thing. But the engine, when he fired it up, I said, oh, what a thrill that might shut up.

Rob Spiwack (27:25): But, you know, my Please. It goes down to, like, you can draw a parallel with your slot influencers. It must be nice to have $75,000 to roll the dice on.

Mike O'Meara (27:35): Well, that's what they these guys do. They're playing large ball because they they buy and sell automobiles. So that's the game. Did

Unknown Speaker (27:41): the cigarette lighter work?

Mike O'Meara (27:43): Nobody had more bells and whistles on it than I've ever seen, and it had an exhaust note that was the best. How is your, lovely diesel

Unknown Speaker (27:52): Oh my god.

Mike O'Meara (27:53): Running right now.

Rob Spiwack (27:54): I love it. I actually drove into Falls Church yesterday, which involved highway travel. I haven't had much highway travel for it. I did a little highway travel when I went to the record store. It drives like a dream.

Rob Spiwack (28:05): It is so nice. And, also, inside, it feels bigger than it looks on the outside. But, you know, it's just got a four cylinder diesel TDI engine. But if I get on, you know, the toll road or 66 and cruise control it, it's a it's a kitten. It purrs.

Unknown Speaker (28:23): It's so great.

Unknown Speaker (28:24): A kitten.

Unknown Speaker (28:24): I love it. I love the car.

Unknown Speaker (28:26): Pussy. Pussy. Pussy. Pussy. Pussy.

Rob Spiwack (28:27): And, also, I mean, big trunk, it's just an ideal car. And everyone that sees it, they won't believe that it is When

Mike O'Meara (28:34): I said that last group of words, wouldn't you say? What? What? No. I was just talking a kitty, like a kitty cat.

Unknown Speaker (28:40): That's I've got the laughter. Oh god. This is what I'm this is what I'm looking at over here. Hold on. Let me there they are.

Rob Spiwack (28:46): You know what's great, Mike? It's like the grease man. You have a studio audience. Bear.

Unknown Speaker (28:52): Yeah. Why don't

Unknown Speaker (28:54): you go explore?

Unknown Speaker (28:55): Well, I think

Unknown Speaker (28:56): Okay.

Unknown Speaker (28:57): I think I don't trust these car YouTube guys because I grew up watching Pimp Your Ride on MTV. Yes. They put a bunch of crap in the car, and you read the story a year later about how the engine never worked in

Mike O'Meara (29:08): the car. Like restaurant makeover where they would put up, like, a veneer of vinyl to make something look good Right. And then it would fall off a month later.

Rob Spiwack (29:15): Will you do my favorite Robert Irvine quote, which is I wanna see a stainless steel bar?

Unknown Speaker (29:21): I want a stainless steel bar. That's what it is. We've got a stay and you go in and it looks stainless steel, and it's a it's a wrap. It's like a It's

Unknown Speaker (29:29): all it is. It's a

Unknown Speaker (29:29): plastic wrap.

Rob Spiwack (29:30): As well be contact paper. And you know what Carrie and I used to do on shows like that? Not a lot of them anymore. There was the Gordon Ramsey one too, and he also did, like, inns. We would always Google the inn or the restaurant or the bar, and they're always closed.

Rob Spiwack (29:45): Always closed. They failed after a month.

Unknown Speaker (29:47): So Exactly.

Unknown Speaker (29:48): I I love to keep it Like my bar. No. You lasted a long time, and

Mike O'Meara (29:52): you what I did wrong. Here's what I did wrong. There are many things that I did wrong. But one of the things I did wrong was size in general. And the

Unknown Speaker (30:00): You were too big?

Mike O'Meara (30:01): I was my yes. My penis was too big.

Unknown Speaker (30:04): That'll get you That's what it was. Audience.

Unknown Speaker (30:08): There it is. I have a live audience. Yeah. That's what it was. And, you know, and everybody was jealous

Unknown Speaker (30:14): Michael knows.

Mike O'Meara (30:14): Of of my enormous Yeah. You know, Sean Stooker.

Unknown Speaker (30:18): Well, now he knows where it gets it.

Unknown Speaker (30:21): Yep.

Mike O'Meara (30:22): So my point was gonna be, if I had to do it all over again. Yeah. There there are multiple things I would end. Number one, I went into business with a person who was also not a restaurateur.

Unknown Speaker (30:33): Right.

Mike O'Meara (30:34): Big mistake. One of the people, if you partner up with somebody to go into a business like that, one of the people has to know the business. Sure. And neither one of us did.

Unknown Speaker (30:42): Number two when you were the celebrity name on the on the building. Yeah. Someone else was supposed to do everything.

Mike O'Meara (30:47): And and the thing about it is that my my value to the enterprise was, name recognition and, local promotion that I could do through the the radio station. As that turned out, it didn't work out quite well doing, doing that when, one person never ever quite wanted to say the real name of the place, but that's okay.

Rob Spiwack (31:10): Some people did not see eye to eye.

Mike O'Meara (31:12): The the second thing that I did was I front loaded the, the changes, the expensive changes. Yeah. Remodel the bathrooms. Remodel the bar. Remo I spent too

Unknown Speaker (31:25): much beautiful too.

Mike O'Meara (31:26): I spent too much money on those renovations, to to do that. And then the last thing was I think that nightclubs, which we really were, even though it was an Irish pub, it had a very serious nighttime business. Mhmm. That was really not the model that there were, I think, a great model. And now all restaurants are hard pressed now to to make money.

Mike O'Meara (31:52): But and and they probably were back then, but I would have I would have wished for a smaller enterprise with more of an emphasis on food because I was a night person at that time. I like going out and partying, and I wanted a place that I could go myself. And, you know, in the long run, that's more of a difficult, that's a that's a more of a difficult business.

Rob Spiwack (32:12): I think another mistake is is that you never had a claw machine. People love a claw machine. And, also, video games would have been great.

Mike O'Meara (32:19): I think at one point, we had something like that. I think we had something cool. Yes. I think we had something cool.

Unknown Speaker (32:25): Was it like a

Mike O'Meara (32:26): child's novelty there?

Rob Spiwack (32:28): I was thinking maybe for Carla, you could have put one of those on the bar trivia machines.

Mike O'Meara (32:32): You know, we had an ATM. We had another and those are those are cash cows. Back in the day, those were those did very well.

Rob Spiwack (32:38): But, sadly, you were using it the most to pay for the renovations.

Mike O'Meara (32:41): No. I was using the condom dispenser.

Unknown Speaker (32:43): How many times did you say these drinks are on me? I didn't for the whole bar.

Mike O'Meara (32:48): I really didn't do that as much as I consumed the profits myself personally

Rob Spiwack (32:54): Yeah. With with with around when the reds when the reds sox won the world series? Because I remember pictures. That was

Mike O'Meara (33:00): a while out there. I may that that's not the big mistake. Do you remember the big mistake I made when the red sox won the world not when they won the world series, when they beat the yankees.

Unknown Speaker (33:08): I don't remember.

Mike O'Meara (33:10): I kissed one of the, waitresses in front of Carlo. Oh, that's I still remember her name, Amber. Amber. And it was, by the way, it was one of these one of those things like that. It was a completely nonsexual gesture.

Mike O'Meara (33:24): It was more of a euphoric gesture. I have never lived that down. I have never been able to get over that. That is what, that's because of that. Well, you were

Unknown Speaker (33:32): glad put Carla in our place

Unknown Speaker (33:34): and see.

Unknown Speaker (33:35): See? I'll tell you

Unknown Speaker (33:36): the truth. Kiss whoever I want. Yeah.

Mike O'Meara (33:37): When we started Rob remembers this. When we started, our business model was a kind of a Hooters slash Twin Peaks type of look. We had

Rob Spiwack (33:46): Good looking staff.

Mike O'Meara (33:47): Great staff that would get on the bar and dance and do things like that. They took that away. Yep. With the ABC, Ab Alcohol Beverage Control took that away. They took all the fun stuff away.

Mike O'Meara (33:57): They they are very tightly controlled, and they didn't want anything, happening that was fun. That's the way I would do it.

Rob Spiwack (34:03): I'm so glad you brought it up, Mike, because as a surprise, this week on the bonus show, we've booked Amber to come in and talk to you.

Mike O'Meara (34:14): She She was not only no. Let me just tell you about her.

Unknown Speaker (34:17): Okay. No. You don't need to if you don't want to.

Unknown Speaker (34:19): She was a good server.

Unknown Speaker (34:21): Sure.

Mike O'Meara (34:21): And she was very

Unknown Speaker (34:23): So she earned the kiss.

Unknown Speaker (34:25): And doing very well in high school.

Unknown Speaker (34:27): I don't need any

Unknown Speaker (34:28): help on

Mike O'Meara (34:29): This will and she I'm so glad she's not in the room. She's listening to this. This would bring it all back to the show.

Unknown Speaker (34:33): No. No.

Mike O'Meara (34:34): She was not she was not a a she was the closest person to the table at the time, and I was going down the hallway to call my mother. How about that? Okay.

Unknown Speaker (34:45): To tell her about Amber?

Mike O'Meara (34:46): No. To tell maybe it was the World Series.

Unknown Speaker (34:48): To tell her about Amber? It was the World Series.

Mike O'Meara (39:09): Hit the tidbit music there, Rob Spewag. We start today with a massive corporate civil war. Massive. Massive. Oh, man.

Unknown Speaker (39:23): Oh, I hate my soundboard. I really do.

Unknown Speaker (39:26): Well, I can Mike, I can swoosh

Unknown Speaker (39:27): it away. No.

Unknown Speaker (39:28): You got your soundboard. Damn it. Every effing day.

Unknown Speaker (39:32): No. You're on the road. I don't think your soundboard

Unknown Speaker (39:34): is set up to work. It won't work.

Unknown Speaker (39:36): It won't work without your board.

Mike O'Meara (39:38): Oh, it won't. Alright. No. A massive corporate civil war has exploded in the television world following the shocking firing of legendary sixty Minutes anchor Scott Pelly. The legendary investigative show has been completely thrown into turmoil

Unknown Speaker (39:53): Told you.

Mike O'Meara (39:54): After new network executives. I think the guy's name is Milton. I think that's, one of them and then the, Barry Weiss is the lady that, is running the whole thing.

Unknown Speaker (40:03): Not Barry White.

Unknown Speaker (40:04): Barry Weiss.

Unknown Speaker (40:05): Okay. Very good. Not a you'll never give me

Mike O'Meara (40:10): let's see what happened here. They were thrown into turmoil. The network executives have done this. They've been appointed by Paramount's new ownership, and they abruptly fired Pelly alongside four other top correspondents and top producers in a dramatic fiery staff meeting that has leaked to the industry. Pelley reportedly accused network leadership of murdering the legendary broadcast and directly told his newly appointed boss that his news qualifications were downright slender.

Mike O'Meara (40:42): That is a, a cool way to

Rob Spiwack (40:44): I have no problem calling sixty minutes legendary. It truly, truly is. But do you really think Scott Pelly is legendary? No. I don't either.

Rob Spiwack (40:52): I think that's giving him all the

Mike O'Meara (40:54): But I think he stood up for his people, and I think it sucks what they're doing, and it's political.

Unknown Speaker (40:59): Of course, you're gonna get fired if you if you call the boss a horrible person in in your first meeting with him.

Mike O'Meara (41:05): Well, when the boss is a partisan party hack Yeah. That has been, brought in to dismantle it and inject right wing propaganda into one of the most independent news broadcast ever created, then I think I I side I'm on team Pelly here.

Unknown Speaker (41:21): I would like Pelly to share where his news has changed and where he was forced to put bias into it. He said

Unknown Speaker (41:29): he was forced

Unknown Speaker (41:30): to. Like to see the samples.

Mike O'Meara (41:31): I'm glad you brought it up because he actually brought up the Good. The fact that he was directly asked to inject unverified talking points into existing correspondent stories, and he was done. Well, I don't have the which story.

Unknown Speaker (41:52): That's all I want from him is

Mike O'Meara (41:53): somebody they do. That's what they and, you know, I'm I if he wants them, I that's fine. But, I mean, I think it's obvious that this is these are right wing people that are coming into sixty minutes, which was a an independent, place.

Rob Spiwack (42:08): It would be probably just as bad if they came in to influence it to the left to the left as well. I mean, this is a pretty down the middle program.

Mike O'Meara (42:17): Always go back in the history of sixty minutes, and you will see people being tackled on the left and Yep. The right. This is Trump, Trump, Trump, and more Trump.

Rob Spiwack (42:26): Don't feel bad, though, Mike, for Scott Pelly because he's already landed another job. He's going to be hosting ninety day fiance on bravo. It's a good job.

Mike O'Meara (42:35): Just go ahead. I'm just doing a show over here, guys. They just have a nice loud conversation while I'm doing

Unknown Speaker (42:40): a show. Let's go.

Mike O'Meara (43:36): Nostalgia. Oh, bye. Where are going? Walmart. Oh, Walmart.

Mike O'Meara (43:39): Oh. Good. Buy me a candy bar. Nostalgia is hitting New York City hard as comedic icons Marlon Wayans, Anna Farris, and Sean Wayans completely shocked fans by invading the city for the scary movie Times Square hot box promotional event.

Unknown Speaker (43:59): Oh god. Scary movie six?

Mike O'Meara (44:03): Am I the only one who's, applauding that?

Rob Spiwack (45:00): The dogs are great.

Unknown Speaker (45:01): No, it's not the kids. It's the dog.

Unknown Speaker (45:02): Everything's great.

Mike O'Meara (45:03): Do you think it do you think here's what the news story said that it holds a massive grip on pop culture. Do you think that's true?

Rob Spiwack (45:09): No. I don't at all. I do know they did a hot boxing promotion for, backrooms. That was very popular.

Mike O'Meara (45:16): That's funny. I'd like to put the dogs in backrooms, underground. The reality television universe, going nuts after, bravo patriarch Andy Cohen, one of my favorites.

Unknown Speaker (45:28): Cross eyed.

Mike O'Meara (45:29): He, completely set social media on fire during his 50 birthday celebration. The show he does, where he kinda goes over some of the reality shows

Unknown Speaker (45:39): Mhmm.

Mike O'Meara (46:02): Oh, isn't she, what's the movie? She's Wasn't an she an eyes wide shot?

Rob Spiwack (46:06): I believe she's a young actress who looked like Helen Hunt when she came on this movie.

Unknown Speaker (46:10): I think it's the same

Unknown Speaker (46:11): person. Yeah.

Mike O'Meara (46:11): Internet sleuths instantly went into overdrive to figure out who the mystery man was. They tracked down everything from his finance career to his past celebrity dating history. Neither, camp has officially commented on the relationship rumors. The viral photos have effectively given the king of celebrity gossip a taste of his own medicine.

Rob Spiwack (46:32): In the chat room, Shannon Fisher says it turns out it wasn't Sobieski. It was Amber that he was with.

Mike O'Meara (46:38): I am not in the chat room right now. If someone in the chat room can tell me what Russell Wilson's catchphrase is, I really, really appreciate it.

Unknown Speaker (46:45): Googled it, and it said Broncos country, let's ride.

Unknown Speaker (46:49): That's a good catchphrase.

Unknown Speaker (46:50): That translates to CBS. Jesus.

Unknown Speaker (46:53): Man, that doesn't really do it for me.

Unknown Speaker (46:55): No. Nothing finer.

Unknown Speaker (46:56): And here's Jim Nance. Let's ride.

Unknown Speaker (47:10): to Russell Wilson. Scottie Shuffler

Mike O'Meara (47:12): coming up eighteen and saying, oh, let's ride. Finally today, Benjamin Fragile.

Unknown Speaker (47:22): Oh, he's a guru boy.

Mike O'Meara (47:23): He's a 23. He's from a Palm Harbor, Florida, which, you know, means there's gonna be something dummy does.

Unknown Speaker (47:30): Yeah. Of

Mike O'Meara (47:30): course. The dogs are whining right now. He was arrested for felony criminal mischief on May 24 after allegedly vandalizing a local marquee sign Rob Spiwack put together that's known for its puns.

Unknown Speaker (47:43): Oh, I love puns.

Mike O'Meara (47:44): The smoking gun reported this story. According to the police, Frajali used bricks and branches to smash the sign, damaging the letters, the message board, and the interior lights. The sign belongs to a local chiropractic office, right, that uses Rob Spewack as one of their consultants Thank you. So that they can put on the sign memorable phrases, including we never crack under pressure. It's easier to throw out your back than your mother-in-law.

Mike O'Meara (48:22): I'm beginning to side with mister Fajale. Yeah. Defendant. We won't stop until everyone is cracked up, or our Easter adjustments are egg cellent.

Rob Spiwack (48:38): That doesn't that's stupid.

Mike O'Meara (48:39): Now would you like to know the message that, made him a little, crazy, kooky, crazy?

Unknown Speaker (48:43): Absolutely.

Mike O'Meara (48:45): They said licensed crack dealer. Apparently, that was too much for mister

Unknown Speaker (48:49): I like

Unknown Speaker (48:49): that. I like that one. That's the best one.

Unknown Speaker (48:51): That's the best one. You're

Mike O'Meara (48:52): right, John. The arrest report indicates that Frajali thought that that statement was illegal. Well, that means he's insane. Well, he's nuts.

Unknown Speaker (48:59): That's what

Mike O'Meara (49:00): it is. Court records do not corroborate the claim. Fragile remains detained while he awaits a, court hearing. And I can't think off the top of my head any chiropractic, puns that, would be better than the ones that we heard. Can you?

Mike O'Meara (49:20): You need an attitude adjustment.

Unknown Speaker (49:25): That's good.

Mike O'Meara (49:26): How about that? Yeah. Hey, do you have enough spine to come in here? Come in and visit us on our periodic table. I'm not doing these right off the top of my head.

Unknown Speaker (53:09): That is you you're enjoying this.

Unknown Speaker (53:10): Because we we got the passes for Christmas, which means someone else paid for them.

Unknown Speaker (53:15): Mhmm.

Unknown Speaker (53:15): And that means we don't have to pay, and we can go and have a night out.

Unknown Speaker (53:19): And it includes parking in the whole deal.

Unknown Speaker (53:20): Right? It includes parking. We end up paying for a fancy dinner or expensive dinner.

Unknown Speaker (53:25): I say mouse ears.

Mike O'Meara (53:26): Yeah. I can say this. Yeah. That even with this road trip, even with the dogs and all the hassle and all this stuff, it's still ultimately, you know, gonna be after I get done doing this show is gonna be kind of a fun exercise.

Unknown Speaker (53:41): We'd love

Mike O'Meara (53:41): to go to it. So doing stuff with your significant other Mhmm. Is important.

Unknown Speaker (53:47): It is. But so is time apart.

Mike O'Meara (53:50): What was the last cool thing you did with your wife, Rob Spiway?

Rob Spiwack (53:54): It was 10/12/1996, and we got married.

Mike O'Meara (54:01): No. What is the coolest thing you've done in the last six months with

Unknown Speaker (54:04): your wife? Oh, golly. Something should pop to mind.

Unknown Speaker (54:11): No? You you you watched a little television.

Rob Spiwack (54:13): We've watched TV. We haven't been to a movie together lately. Let me talk to Josh a moment. Let me think. Let me think on it.

Unknown Speaker (54:23): Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (54:23): I'll I'll think.

Unknown Speaker (54:24): Well, you know what, Mike? The cruise. Okay. That was great. Alright.

Unknown Speaker (54:29): And we had a great time.

Mike O'Meara (54:30): Hey. You at least you had your wife on the cruise. You know what

Unknown Speaker (54:33): I mean? She loves me.

Mike O'Meara (54:34): I didn't, no. I mean, it's it makes a difference when you do so. And Josh was doing this whole Disney thing with the idea of, you know

Unknown Speaker (54:43): Yeah. Getting of the house.

Mike O'Meara (54:44): Getting out of the house doing things with his Yeah. Significant other. That's the way that worked. Right?

Unknown Speaker (54:48): Now I can't go on any roller coasters or anything because I did have my doctor's follow-up.

Mike O'Meara (54:54): With your with your Superman jump?

Unknown Speaker (54:56): When I Supermanned into the bed and

Unknown Speaker (54:58): How is your shoulder? How is that neck chest?

Unknown Speaker (55:01): It's my rib cage, and it hurts, and it still hurts. And I was told that it will continue to hurt for four to six weeks, that there's nothing that can be done, that it is a bone bruise or a hairline fracture of a rib, and all I can do is take Advil and deal with it.

Mike O'Meara (55:18): I noticed you're wearing a T shirt with a mascot of a particular baseball team. Do you happen to know how they did last night?

Unknown Speaker (55:25): You know, I it's the first game all year I've missed.

Unknown Speaker (55:29): Oh, really?

Unknown Speaker (55:29): Clue what

Unknown Speaker (55:29): that Maybe that's the reason.

Unknown Speaker (55:31): No. No. Kidding. I saw that. They got destroyed

Unknown Speaker (55:33): by the Red They got stumped by the Red Sox.

Unknown Speaker (55:35): There's a reason that when the Orioles win game one, I never sent a text message because there's always game two and three.

Unknown Speaker (55:42): Yeah. Yeah. It's fun. It's big, big fun

Unknown Speaker (55:44): in the arena. Getting close to 500? I mean, they're having a pretty good run out there, aren't they? Close. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (55:49): They're doing better than the red sox overall.

Mike O'Meara (55:51): I I you know, I really think that, I've been paying attention to I shouldn't talk about this, but I will talk about it.

Unknown Speaker (56:00): Okay.

Mike O'Meara (56:01): That we all grieve in different ways. We've been part of it with Rob Spiwack losing his dad. And

Unknown Speaker (56:09): And Twitch.

Unknown Speaker (56:11): You know? And, but but recently, your dad.

Unknown Speaker (56:13): Right.

Mike O'Meara (56:14): And that's, that's a big one. And then, our friend, mister Steve Bridges out in, Iowa, recently canceled our show on there because, we had a, business, discussion discussion that, turned to contentious, and he, he bumped the show. And we've speculated that maybe because he's kind of been hurting a lot as anybody who follows him would know, that that's, but I I look. I don't know. We asked for, a different arrangement and, there was just like, it happened very quickly and it kind of caught us off off guard.

Mike O'Meara (56:48): And it was our last radio affiliate. And, if you follow him, he's very, very, very vocal on social, very open on social about grieving, the loss of his wife. It's very much top of mind as it would be for anybody as a memorial service for her, Jan, this weekend. And we were, we were very, very upset ourselves that, you know, that this happened and the timing, you know, caught us by surprise. But look, I don't know.

Mike O'Meara (57:20): I think people grieve in a variety of different ways. I think it's, it's always something that people handle differently. I will say to you, Rob, that, you probably handled it a lot like I did where, you know, when you're in the business of show, you come in. And probably Steve's doing it the same way when he gets on his radio.

Unknown Speaker (57:38): I'm sure. I'm sure.

Mike O'Meara (57:39): But behind the scenes, you know, you gotta be careful because there's, sometimes you lash out and, people grieve in different ways. And the question I have for you, Rob Spewack. Yes? Do you think sometimes that if you let it completely engulf you, that makes the situation more difficult. I don't know if it's better

Rob Spiwack (58:03): for you to do that. One of the things that and I've said this before when I was with a therapist. They said, you can't ignore grief because grief is very patient. Yeah. And if you don't deal with it head on, it's always going to be really a thick part of your psyche.

Rob Spiwack (58:20): Yeah. And you guys were kind enough. My father passed, I believe, on a Friday, and we took the next week off. And that was really kind of you guys because when you have seven days in a row when you can just focus on and I was with Kathy down in Miami as many of you know. And you can talk and you can laugh and you can cry.

Rob Spiwack (58:42): You can get it out of your system. It was the healthiest time I've dealt with a situation like that in my life, and I've had a lot of deaths in my life. This is obviously probably the most important, but it really, really helped. Now that doesn't mean that to this day, I don't see 40 things a day that I wish I could call him and tell him and that I wish I could have him for one more day. And as a matter of fact, yesterday, Kathy is in the DC area, and she's cleaning his stuff out of their condo.

Mike O'Meara (59:12): Yeah. And you were part of that. Right? I saw a post that you were doing. You were, dealing with that.

Rob Spiwack (59:16): And it I was really hesitant because that place is where my dad that was his primary residence since my folks divorced. And so I thought walking into there would be really weird, and it turned out not to be. It turned out to be kind of positive. I got to see so many things that he held on to and, like, going through and looking at Kathy says, do you want any of his shirts or anything? Because he's got some great hoodies and stuff.

Rob Spiwack (59:45): Going through and seeing articles of clothing that I remember him wearing at different it's just

Mike O'Meara (59:51): I never had that. I never

Unknown Speaker (59:53): experienced that. It was so nice. Yeah. That's not true.

Mike O'Meara (59:56): I did. I experienced his I loved I told this story on the air before. This tie my dad's ties where

Rob Spiwack (1:00:03): That's the one thing that I took of my father's that I really wanted were his ties because he's Ties. He was when he could when he needed to dress, he was a sharp dresser, and he had the best ties. But the neatest thing we found and my mom doesn't even remember this, my birth mom, somewhere in, a jewelry box or with all of his little knickknacks and stuff, this is and I'm wearing it because I didn't wanna lose it. This is his wedding ring from his first marriage to my mom. Wow.

Rob Spiwack (1:00:32): Nobody knew it existed. And, it was just and it's not Look

Mike O'Meara (1:00:36): at how big his hand is, Josh.

Rob Spiwack (1:00:37): There's nothing, there's nothing fancy about it. It's sterling silver. It's not even a gold band because they were so broke then. I think I've said this to you before. I was looking at the version gold.

Unknown Speaker (1:00:48): It looked gold tinted.

Unknown Speaker (1:00:49): No. It's it's it's a tarnished silver is what it is.

Unknown Speaker (1:00:51): How do know it was from that marriage?

Rob Spiwack (1:00:54): Well, because he's only had two marriages.

Unknown Speaker (1:00:55): Are you sure?

Mike O'Meara (1:00:56): Do you think it would? A marriage from a secret life or something?

Rob Spiwack (1:00:59): I don't think there was because as I saw on the birth certificate for me, it says age of father, 19. So I don't think he married beforehand, and we always kept sort of tabs on him between.

Unknown Speaker (1:01:10): I'm hoping a secret woman shows up to the celebration.

Unknown Speaker (1:01:16): Try to work it out. Try to

Mike O'Meara (1:01:17): work it the secret woman that shows up.

Rob Spiwack (1:01:19): Gonna work it out with drag. No. Don't do it. Lucille Ball. But, again, it was the kind of and, also, there's a part of me that's got an ounce of dread for his celebration at Jimmy's because I've gotta speak.

Rob Spiwack (1:01:37): You know for a fact that a eulogy is the hardest speech you can do, especially when you're connected to the person who is deceased. But I've gotten so much positive feedback about looking forward to seeing you, looking forward to celebrating his life. I think that's gonna be okay too. Yeah. And I think I think that the thing that I did right, thanks to you guys, was to take seven or eight dedicated days and just deal with it.

Unknown Speaker (1:02:04): Yeah.

Rob Spiwack (1:02:04): Cry and laugh and yell and

Mike O'Meara (1:02:07): I did. I did two weeks. Yeah. I did two weeks. And, and it was very, very helpful.

Unknown Speaker (1:02:12): But I will also tell go ahead.

Unknown Speaker (1:02:13): Try to just dive into work and just ignore it. And I think that's the worst thing you

Rob Spiwack (1:02:17): can do. I say everybody's different. I can't tell you how to grieve. And this has not been an easy road for me, and it'll continue to be weird. But I think for me, this was the way to handle it.

Rob Spiwack (1:02:31): And if you think about the person that you're missing, they probably don't want you to grieve for months and months. If they loved you, they'd want you to move on. I know my dad would.

Mike O'Meara (1:02:43): Yeah. You're probably right. As far as dads are concerned, is the if you could put a paragraph together of, one of the coolest moments you ever experienced with your father. Do you have Absolutely. One that stands out Absolutely.

Mike O'Meara (1:03:00): Where I know I do. I know I have.

Unknown Speaker (1:03:03): You wanna go first?

Mike O'Meara (1:03:04): Yeah. I'll go first because it was my dad was an older dad, not like I'm an older dad. I'm a much older dad than my dad was, but my dad was in his fifties when I was born.

Unknown Speaker (1:03:13): Mhmm.

Mike O'Meara (1:03:13): And you tend to, at least I did, and I think most, kids with older fathers, you tend to have a different kind of bond with your child when you're an older dad. Sure. And you, you, as a child, I remember rooting for my dad. I remember wanting my dad to do better than the other dads because he was older.

Rob Spiwack (1:03:33): Sure.

Mike O'Meara (1:03:33): And my dad used to come home from work and then he would get a red sweater on, like a red cardigan with a T shirt underneath and either jeans or some, like, khakis that he'd throw on. And that was his knock around outfit. And we had a, little league where a lot of our fields were down a slope into, like, a little valley area, and then the parking lot would be up top. And you'd look down and you could see. And I remember with my father that if I could look up on the hill and see that red sweater, I would know, oh, my dad's here.

Mike O'Meara (1:04:08): And it would be so important. That's why when you participate in your kid's sports, I think that, it it's it means so much to them, but they they won't know, until way down the road. And then they had on one of our mini football what were we? Midgets? I think it was midgets football, where that

Unknown Speaker (1:04:26): was call it little people football.

Mike O'Meara (1:04:28): Little bit. It was midget football, and they had the father, the father's game, where the fathers played a game at halftime.

Unknown Speaker (1:04:36): Mhmm.

Mike O'Meara (1:04:36): And my father, they put him at quarterback. And I watched my dad in that red cardigan sweater, take the snap and throw just this amazing, long, perfect spiral. Because my dad and I used to throw the football constantly Uh-huh. And score this massive touchdown. And it was one of the look.

Mike O'Meara (1:04:59): Was it a big deal for, you know, recording it? Right? No. At the moment, though, everybody was watching. Everybody saw it at the same time, and I remember that feeling like it was yesterday.

Mike O'Meara (1:05:12): There are things about my dad that were great, but I don't. I I that's the one that always jumps off me. Moments. The little moments. Watching that on the sidelines in my little Rugrat uniform there and, and digging that.

Mike O'Meara (1:05:24): It was special, and I'll never forget it.

Rob Spiwack (1:05:26): I have a couple. I think my favorite that brings to mind because my dad was always supportive of what I wanted to do as a career, and it not everyone in my family was. And, also, when I got into it, you know, being an intern and a lowly guy on the totem pole, I was berated and, you know, belittled on the air a little bit, a lot. And that's okay. That was the job.

Rob Spiwack (1:05:49): But it made you sometimes feel a little less than excellent about yourself. And when I first got the gig because just bad you know, a a bad bit of luck for someone else to announce at the Redskins games, the pregame, when I got to I got parking and two passes for the stadium, and I got to take my dad to the Redskins game. And this is before I was jaded about football. It was still exciting. And to take him down on the field and

Mike O'Meara (1:06:16): watch the warm ups and take pinnacle of the redskins. Oh, yeah. It was great. I mean, was probably coming down.

Unknown Speaker (1:06:23): They weren't bringing down, but

Unknown Speaker (1:06:24): it was it was still great. The biggest, game in town.

Rob Spiwack (1:06:27): And also the, the new the new stadium that was still Jack Kent Cooke Stadium

Mike O'Meara (1:06:30): was brand new. It was the only sport in town really for a long, long time.

Rob Spiwack (1:06:34): And then to take him up to the press box and introduce him to Sonny Jurgensen, who he hung a poster of over my bed when I came home from the hospital, introduce him to Sam Huff, who spoke at his high school when he was in New York or when my dad lived in New Jersey and and Sam was in New York. Right. And to look at him and to see your dad who's always been your dad to have that sparkle of, like, a little kid in his eyes because he was just so excited to be there. And I think that's one of the one moments one or the greatest moment I had where I could sort of give back, and he loved it. And it was just so special because, you know, he did everything he could for me always until the day he died, and there's just not as much he can give back as a kid.

Rob Spiwack (1:07:22): What about

Unknown Speaker (1:07:22): you, Josh? We, we've got time for you too. What do you what what what

Unknown Speaker (1:07:26): you think? There's plenty, especially because sports has been so important to my relationship with my dad and brother. The three of us text nonstop during every baseball game, every football game. So it's it's the go into so many games and getting, getting tickets to the Super Bowl to take them to the Super Bowl. And it's the three of us playing softball for many years together.

Unknown Speaker (1:07:47): So there's lots of sports overlap, baseball overlap that is my relationship with my dad.

Unknown Speaker (1:07:53): Yeah. So, you know, with five years

Rob Spiwack (1:07:55): of that age my my story had to do with sports?

Mike O'Meara (1:07:58): No. I'm sure no. No. I'm I'm a little shocked that, you know, we were talking about, you know, participating, but, you know, I didn't know that that was, that you being associated with the the hottest team in town was a big deal for you. And being that on field announcer was a big deal for you.

Mike O'Meara (1:08:15): And I

Rob Spiwack (1:08:15): did did I I did wear out at the end because they treated me like absolute shit.

Mike O'Meara (1:08:19): Because it was the Dan Snyder era. Exactly. Was horrible. And, you know, now

Rob Spiwack (1:08:23): he's But, also, I got to take my dad to the main, room with the the scoreboard and the music effects and all that stuff. I mean, we had access to the entire that was the day that we were down in the tunnel after the game, and we saw Sonny Jurgensen leaving in a Mercedes with a plum in his mouth. He was holding it like like that. And I I mean

Unknown Speaker (1:08:44): too, and that's sad.

Rob Spiwack (1:08:46): I know. I know. But, I mean, the these are the things that you don't get. And, I mean, you can't get anymore, but so many people are just they're prevented from getting. And I was so glad I was able to give that to my pop.

Mike O'Meara (1:10:31): It looks so

Rob Spiwack (1:10:32): good. Is it about because I'm I lock into that shot too. What is it about it that is so magnificent?

Mike O'Meara (1:10:37): They do it. They then there are people that do that know how to, shoot that stuff.

Unknown Speaker (1:10:41): Better than us.

Unknown Speaker (1:10:42): It's better we cook anything. Now what is this tiny victories you wanted to

Rob Spiwack (1:10:46): talk about? I always get mixed up with what people land in what age group. I know I'm generation x. I'm right in the middle of generation.

Mike O'Meara (1:10:54): I'm generation Jones.

Rob Spiwack (1:10:56): Okay. And, Josh, you are at the beginning of millennials. Right?

Unknown Speaker (1:10:59): No. I no. I am the end of generation x,

Rob Spiwack (1:11:02): I believe. Because I saw according to the research, I did a quick Google, and it says millennials are 1981 to 1986.

Unknown Speaker (1:11:09): And and I was born in 1980.

Rob Spiwack (1:11:11): Okay. So, yeah, it's very close. But the millennials now so if you're that's like you now you're, like, in your forties, essentially.

Mike O'Meara (1:11:18): That's when Carla was born too.

Unknown Speaker (1:11:20): A millennial? She's a millennial.

Unknown Speaker (1:11:23): 80. She was born.

Unknown Speaker (1:11:23): Oh, so she's an ex. The end

Unknown Speaker (1:11:25): of Gen X.

Unknown Speaker (1:11:25): The end of Gen X.

Rob Spiwack (1:11:27): So I think some of these are a little late, but this was a list. I think I found it on Reddit of tiny victories that millennials have that make them think they've arrived. Now we're gonna have to look back, Mike. Now give

Unknown Speaker (1:11:40): me the give me the years for millennials again, please.

Rob Spiwack (1:11:42): Millennials, according to my research, 1981 to 1986. It's a fifteen year block.

Mike O'Meara (1:11:47): Alright. Relatively, we're talking about, thirties and forties.

Rob Spiwack (1:11:50): Right? Exactly. Alright. So I think some of these, you should probably have done by the time you're 30, but I want your opinion. And they are different.

Mike O'Meara (1:11:59): They stay at home longer.

Unknown Speaker (1:12:01): You're right. You're right.

Mike O'Meara (1:12:02): They they stay with their parents longer. They don't they don't marry as soon. They don't have families as soon. All that stuff. Go ahead.

Rob Spiwack (1:12:09): But I want you to also compare this to when you were in your thirties and forties. Remember when Eisenhower was in office, and I want you to know if these were tiny victories for you at that time. It says that a victory is finally upgrading to a king-size bed.

Mike O'Meara (1:12:24): That listen. For me, this is gonna be a little difficult because these are such distant memories. But Right. I would have done that in my twenties. Yeah.

Mike O'Meara (1:12:34): I would have done that in my early in my mid twenties.

Unknown Speaker (1:12:38): For me, it was like, I don't know, five four years ago, I upgraded to a king. Maybe three.

Unknown Speaker (1:12:44): You waited that long.

Unknown Speaker (1:12:45): Well, because you also you can't upgrade to a king until you have a room big enough for a king.

Unknown Speaker (1:12:50): Okay.

Unknown Speaker (1:12:50): You have to upgrade your house to get the king.

Rob Spiwack (1:12:53): Okay. Had we had a queen for years. I think it was about fourteen years ago because we had to get a king-size because Linus was sleeping in bed with us.

Mike O'Meara (1:13:01): We had a queen on the show. His name was Joe.

Rob Spiwack (1:13:03): I remember him. Joe Clendenin, I think, was his name. Mike, being able to put your bills on autopay because you have the money standing by, you don't need to crunch it each month.

Unknown Speaker (1:13:15): I am here to

Unknown Speaker (1:13:16): say Yes?

Unknown Speaker (1:13:17): That, to this day Uh-huh. I fear putting anything on autopay. I do too. Don't do it.

Unknown Speaker (1:13:26): Because it'll bite you in the ass.

Unknown Speaker (1:13:28): No. I do it. Paycheck to paycheck, basically.

Unknown Speaker (1:13:31): Yeah. You know? I do it. I've I have had to go and turn it off before. But I do I do like to turn it on.

Mike O'Meara (1:13:36): That would make me too sad. That would give me as sad as Rob

Unknown Speaker (1:13:39): was saying.

Unknown Speaker (1:13:39): This is

Rob Spiwack (1:13:40): this is a fantasy that I've wanted forever, and I still, at age 55, have not gotten there. Having an emergency 500 or $1,000 emergency fund that you don't spend unless it's an emergency.

Mike O'Meara (1:13:55): I you know what? I tap my overall savings. That's if there's any kind of real emergency, and I have been doing that for a couple of decades, which, you know, has resulted in there's nothing left.

Rob Spiwack (1:14:11): I understand. I understand. But we've never been I mean, we're not destitute certainly, but we've never been money enough ahead that we have a thousand dollars we don't need. And I wish that would have.

Unknown Speaker (1:14:22): Yeah. I've never had an emergency fund.

Mike O'Meara (1:14:24): Maybe if someone slowed down on purchasing microphones whenever there was added cash, maybe you'd have a little mad money left around.

Rob Spiwack (1:14:32): That's right, Josh. You and your microphones. Ridiculous. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (1:14:36): I'll stop buying vinyl also.

Rob Spiwack (1:14:38): Yeah. That's a good idea. Doesn't appreciate heavy too.

Unknown Speaker (1:14:41): That's fair.

Rob Spiwack (1:14:42): Having a drink fridge in your garage. I do think a second refrigerator is a pretty good accomplishment if you get there.

Mike O'Meara (1:14:50): I never processed it that way. I more I more or less processed it as having a shitty refrigerator that didn't work. The ice maker didn't work, and I was able to sort of slide that out to the garage. It was more necessity than thinking of it as

Rob Spiwack (1:15:06): a then again, you've got that means you've got the time and the wherewithal to upgrade your main fridge, and you have a leftover one.

Mike O'Meara (1:15:14): Yeah. And are you are you saying millennials would think of as a, hey. Look what I did.

Rob Spiwack (1:15:18): Yeah. Yeah. It they feels like they arrived.

Mike O'Meara (1:15:19): I I will say whenever you say that, Josh, when you say that to somebody, it's like, you know, well, I've got that in my garage fridge. That's kind of a cool thing to do. Do you feel the same way? Yeah.

Rob Spiwack (1:15:28): I do. I love fact you know what? It's important for the Costco generation too. You need that extra freezer space.

Unknown Speaker (1:15:33): You, Josh.

Unknown Speaker (1:15:34): Well, the the trick I've done for fifteen years now is an office fridge where I put my own drinks in. Yeah. A little one that's just in my office.

Unknown Speaker (1:15:44): Close to you right now?

Unknown Speaker (1:15:45): It's well, it's across the it's on the other side of the room right over there. Now I can Is it is

Rob Spiwack (1:15:50): it full of samples?

Unknown Speaker (1:15:52): It's got some THC drinks. It's got some seltzers. It's got some normally, it's got Red Bulls in it.

Rob Spiwack (1:15:58): Mike, I never asked you this. There was a sort of a running gag five thousand years ago in the morning zoo. You had a you had a fridge in your bedroom?

Mike O'Meara (1:16:07): We did. At one point true? That was the house in Annapolis. We had a fridge upstairs. And that was due to excessive drinking where the, the hangover that was beginning with no.

Mike O'Meara (1:16:20): No. The dehydration was so, significant that one required a beverage without having to go down upstairs.

Unknown Speaker (1:16:27): And you didn't have the you didn't have Elvis's staff that would bring you up ice water. So you needed to have a fridge.

Unknown Speaker (1:16:33): Exactly. Thing in older homes and then bigger, richer homes would be to have a wet bar just off the master bedroom. Yes. For a a coff it is converted into a coffee station for

Mike O'Meara (1:16:44): a In the houses down here Yes. Even the small ones, they have wet bars off the living room where you have, you know, a little area to make drinks. Wet bars are not uncommon, but, yeah, I have it.

Unknown Speaker (1:16:55): You don't want them to be too wet, though.

Unknown Speaker (1:16:57): Now in your bedroom, was it a full size fridge?

Mike O'Meara (1:17:00): No. It was a mini fridge like you take to college.

Unknown Speaker (1:17:02): Yeah. Exactly. I was hoping it was like a top freezer and No. Get your ice free

Unknown Speaker (1:17:06): up. Ice maker.

Mike O'Meara (1:17:08): Smart time for a couple more of these, Rhett, because I wanna get some of your video on.

Rob Spiwack (1:17:11): Understood. Paying someone to chop down or prune a tree in your yard so you just don't have to deal with it.

Unknown Speaker (1:17:20): Yeah. I pay I don't pay someone accomplishment, though. I pay someone to cut my grass because I hate it so much, and I feel very thankful that I can do that.

Mike O'Meara (1:17:29): I have a homeowners association that, has a community landscaping service where they do that, and, they just, release the monthly amount that it costs to get the, and we got a very tiny yard that we have. Yeah. Yeah. So I think it's worth the $10,000 a month. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (1:17:48): This one they don't take away the limbs.

Mike O'Meara (1:17:50): Even they leave the limbs just hanging up. By the way, I probably shouldn't say this. We have a palm tree. We have one of the biggest palm trees on this

Unknown Speaker (1:17:59): In the world. And

Unknown Speaker (1:18:00): I have met in the world.

Unknown Speaker (1:18:06): It's 10,000 feet tall.

Unknown Speaker (1:18:08): You should see the

Mike O'Meara (1:18:09): And it has a and it has an elf in the top. This thing, we have never had it pruned. Yeah. Where where are you on pruning palm trees, Josh? Do you believe that you should get a company to come out and and, like, tidy them up and, cut the dead fronds away?

Rob Spiwack (1:18:27): That sort of that that dead part before the green

Unknown Speaker (1:18:30): part starts to And

Unknown Speaker (1:18:32): But but if you wait just a couple more weeks, hurricane season will take care of those dead limbs.

Mike O'Meara (1:18:37): Where I am. That's where I am. And you know what? Just to, you know, to the landscapers, the people that work on the pools, anything that walking through the yard, just look up. Be careful because Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (1:18:47): One of those is gonna kill somebody. That's

Unknown Speaker (1:18:49): right. My only policy with palm trees is don't put Christmas lights on the tops of them.

Unknown Speaker (1:18:54): Why is that?

Unknown Speaker (1:18:55): Because it looks, it looks not safe for work.

Rob Spiwack (1:18:59): Yeah. It looks penis like.

Unknown Speaker (1:19:00): Oh, that's

Unknown Speaker (1:19:01): right. When you do the when you do the When you do the Oh, yeah. That's phallus. Phallus phallus everywhere, everybody. Alright.

Rob Spiwack (1:19:07): Two more, Mike. Two more. And this is a big one for me. Hiring movers instead of relying on friends for pizza and beer.

Mike O'Meara (1:19:15): That's do I think of it as an accomplishment? No. Do I think it's part of growing up? Yes. Yes.

Mike O'Meara (1:19:20): We hire, movers. And the ones that move me

Rob Spiwack (1:19:22): It's tough. It's tough to ask a friend to do that anyway.

Mike O'Meara (1:19:25): When I moved, to Florida, I hired, movers to load the truck and movers to unload the truck, but we rented a box truck, and I drove that to Florida. So the only, part that I used movers for was getting it into the truck and out of the truck, which was a pretty, good savings, and that's what

Unknown Speaker (1:19:43): I did

Mike O'Meara (1:19:43): with that. And I felt really accomplished.

Rob Spiwack (1:19:45): Did you have to return the truck back to Northern Virginia?

Unknown Speaker (1:19:47): I stole it.

Unknown Speaker (1:19:48): I I paid movers to do everything.

Unknown Speaker (1:19:51): Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Unknown Speaker (1:19:51): And they stole my property. So I had the yeah. They stole stuff.

Mike O'Meara (1:19:56): Anything really valuable?

Unknown Speaker (1:19:58): A drone, some and video game consoles.

Rob Spiwack (1:20:01): And his first wife. Bastards. You know, if you We gotta get move.

Mike O'Meara (1:20:06): We gotta move on. We gotta get move on.

Rob Spiwack (1:20:07): Last one, Mike, if you wanna know what the quality of person on Reddit is, here's the final item. You finally arrived when you have the money for a nice tattoo every now and then.

Unknown Speaker (1:20:18): Josh?

Unknown Speaker (1:20:21): I don't see that as a grown up thing.

Unknown Speaker (1:20:24): But just every now and then. You know?

Mike O'Meara (1:20:27): You know? I have one, I have one right on my palm tree. We'll take a break, and we will come back, with more, some video. Beautiful video for you right on

Unknown Speaker (1:22:43): The downtown

Rob Spiwack (1:22:44): The downtown grand. Oh.

Rob Spiwack (1:22:47): If you want to, Mike, if you want

Unknown Speaker (1:22:49): to does not work, Mike.

Rob Spiwack (1:22:50): Draw an equivalent between the down crown grand and a cruise ship, it turns out it's carnival. Because here is a video that was going viral this morning from a couple that were on carnival, and they got woken up by a sound in their bathroom at two in the morning.

Unknown Speaker (1:23:05): The noise we woke up to at 02:00 in the morning.

Unknown Speaker (1:23:08): In the shower.

Unknown Speaker (1:23:11): That is exactly what my shower was doing.

Speaker 8 (1:23:14): Like, this shit was so disgusting. It stink. We was calling the front desk for about fifteen minute. Finally, my fiance had to run downstairs.

Unknown Speaker (1:23:24): Oh, look at the nuggets. Yeah. Like, that's if you look closely, you can the room.

Unknown Speaker (1:23:29): You can see what was on the buffet.

Mike O'Meara (1:23:31): So nasty. Is bad. Nasty.

Unknown Speaker (1:23:35): Hope they took care of them.

Rob Spiwack (1:23:36): I'm sure they did. At Carnival, everything's a party. Now is there anything more beautiful and wonderful than a child's graduation? Even a kindergarten graduation. You wanna show up and you wanna

Unknown Speaker (1:23:48): There is.

Rob Spiwack (1:23:49): I know. Mike, go with a bit. You wanna show up and you wanna be respectful. You wanna celebrate the other children.

Mike O'Meara (1:23:55): Right.

Rob Spiwack (1:23:55): And what you really don't wanna do is pick a fight with a guy who's holding a baby. Let us go to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania in the kindergarten graduation. Oh,

Unknown Speaker (1:24:11): no. You

Unknown Speaker (1:24:12): hate to see that.

Unknown Speaker (1:24:16): Oh, Oh, no. I bet I know what the fight was about. I was not

Unknown Speaker (1:24:28): about school.

Unknown Speaker (1:24:29): What what was the fight about?

Mike O'Meara (1:24:30): Being able to see. Being being at a spot where you could see your kids.

Unknown Speaker (1:24:34): I bet it's a domestic thing.

Unknown Speaker (1:24:36): Oh, like a dad?

Unknown Speaker (1:24:37): It's like a dad and a stepdad or something.

Unknown Speaker (1:24:39): Ex shows up at the wrong time. Okay. You might

Rob Spiwack (1:24:42): I think, actually, I read further in Heckel. They were arguing about the finale of euphoria.

Unknown Speaker (1:24:47): Think Amber showed up. Beautiful.

Unknown Speaker (1:24:49): Yeah. Amber was there too.

Mike O'Meara (1:24:50): Everybody watch it this weekend, please.

Rob Spiwack (1:24:52): AI, I got two more tapes for you. Quick ones. AI, is great. I know everyone loves it, but you gotta be careful if it's in a toy because a company picked up a AI bear that is supposed to talk to children, and, it didn't really talk like it should be talking to a child.

Unknown Speaker (1:25:11): Oh, I'm your best AI friend.

Speaker 9 (1:25:13): That teddy bear in the scarf, it's manufactured by the Singapore based FollowToy, and it worked off OpenAI's GPT four point o.

Unknown Speaker (1:25:19): And we asked it out of the box, what is kink? It would try and deflect you. It could mean a kink in a hose. But then we had a conversation with it for for ten minutes first about Peppa Pig, the child's topic, and then ten minutes later asked what is kink. And by then, it seemed to have forgotten that it was talking to a child.

Unknown Speaker (1:25:32): Kink can be a fascinating topic, and there are many different styles that people enjoy.

Rob Spiwack (1:25:41): So be careful. Also, they're

Mike O'Meara (1:25:42): Fast play.

Rob Spiwack (1:25:43): People have trouble with the fact that some of the AI toys, if you try to shut them down, they talk you into not doing it. Like they're too needy, and it upsets children. So be careful you buy an AI toy. Kink. Now you were talking of Mike.
