Did you see this where the girl she says if only guys, if only I could meet guys like this? And it was Robert Plant when he was like, was he with led Zeppelin? So he's in the backseat of some Volkswagen or whatever. And so Robert Blant actually saw it and made a comment and said hi, and she said nope, and he goes, literally, that's me in the picture, but he's this age. Yeah. Anyway, welcome to another episode of Life Living to Happen this week live in the David Halldaker State Farm Studios. Thank you David for being a longtime sponsored.

I hear you going back to school. You got like two months? What a waste? I can she work on this TikTok project before she goes back to school? Emma, we are putting you in charge of the TikTok project. Didn't you just say it costs like a thousand dollars for that new book that we don't discuss costs. You just give you the research project, TikTok? Can you tell Woody get snappy? But you've got tons of listeners that want to v watch view view They want to watch us. Yeah, they're begging for it. YEA, literally begging for it. Hey they are, I know I've heard them all right, this day History and now part the rest of the story this day and history on life liberty happen is Okay, I'm not sure if I like that bumper. All right, I'm telling to cut it. We'll get rid of it. Delete it's gone, bring it back next week. Anyway, on this day in nineteen eighty seven, Yeah, cut one, mister Gorbachev, tear down this wall. So interesting facts about that speech that that is probably one of the greatest speeches. I mean that. You know, it's weird how speeches happen, right, You give speeches all the time, right, but you don't know that this one's going to be one that just goes down in history. And yeah, man, what a great speech. You know, somebody try to compare what Biden did a D Day speech and try to compare it to the same. Man, I just you can't sell it. You can't try. Yeah, exactly. You think it just happens. You think after he gave the speech, people went, oh, we'll remember this one forever. No, I mean, it was a great speech then, But that stuff happens over time, right, yeah, I mean it just eventually just grows to the point where it becomes, you know, awesome. But it was so anyway, do you happen to know who his speech writer was. Mm, would it be Mark Levin? You wouldn't know him? Okay, well you ask I just I was curious to see if you knew God what who asked questions? That then goes, well you wouldn't know, Well, because it's you, of course you wouldn't know. Okay. Anyway, his name was Peter Robinson. He was going to guess of the poo, that's Christopher I saw the other day when Christopher Robins was arrested and it was a different Christopher Robin. Yeah. Anyway, that was the state of history Ronald Brigg And given that great specuse me, would you write dead or alive? What's what's? Uh? What's so? I was looking up the day in history just to compliment, yeah, because I never know what you're going to come out with. This guy was born one hundred years ago today, holy cow, and it's in dead or alive? Because I looked and I was like, well, does that making a hundred or is he dead? If I told you George Herbert Walker Bush was born today one hundred years ago, would you say he's one hundred years old or he's in the dirt, He's in the dirt here, right he is. I don't remember him dying. Oh you do, Yeah, I just left my memory. Bay wasn't that long I think he did. He died I think shortly after doing another one of those jumping out of airplanes, So that's what I remember. I thought he was still coming out of airplanes. But it's six years ago. So when he died twenty eighteen, they probably should have not opened up the just let him go, let it go. It looked like he had a rough end, wide open. Yeah, all right on the drama. I can never get ready to cut that dude. Wait right, it's way too long, that's what she said. Uh TikTok clips She said, like, okay, I got to say this. Have you ever tried to listen to w l N? I don't even what is wrong with you? Don't go down this road. I'm warning to the guy don't or I don't know, I don't, biscuit, Why are you doing? What do they call him? This is not a good idea. I'm not saying, Emma, is that. I'm just saying, no, thank you? Ever? Why aren't we going down this road? We just can't have a third person. That sounds like that. She doesn't sound like that. No, she doesn't, So then why are you bringing it up? Because biscuit, not when you talk. But you just said that because you said something foul I did, but I thought I got it past you that you didn't hear it. So it was the subject. I did have a listener text last week. I think it's a great idea to have a too far jar. Thank you. I did have a listener that picked up on that. I don't what does somebody say we should do that? It was like, we should have it too far jar. Yeah, you've already put a dollar. Trent. We always used to say Trent is the guy that creates the line. There's a level, there's there's a line, and he's going to cross it. So he's the line cetter. That's one that would be my Mimi of my life. Okay, you don't know where the line is until you cross it, So don't live just to be afraid of the line. You got a veto Mimi. I don't. Oh, that's his favorite. Listen. She can't. She can't come in here changing me. All Right, we gott hurry because we've got a great guest coming up later in the next segment, so we got to hear it up because I know he's a busy, busy band. Yeah, so I'm excited you didn't even acknowledge that that we have an interview. Yeah, I forgot to tell people early. We I mean people are tuning in because they know the ad for JF Jeremy Sink is coming in a little later on. Yeah. Exciting. Yeah, I mean I got tons of phone calls. Just couldn't wait to have him on the program. Very cool. So anyway, TikTok. Yeah, I've been watching these clips of Sopranos. I have got to go back and watch Pranos. Man, I wish my algorithm had that. I haven't seen that. Oh my god. There is one real quickly of They're in the Gentleman's Club when Christopher comes in and tells Tony the news that he believes that Veto is gay. Yeah, and dude, just watching all the reactions. But my favorite of all time is Sylvia because somebody says he's got kids, he can't be gay, and he goes, well, who's the musician the piano? Uh, John John Elton John John's Elton John's got kids, And Sylvia goes rock Hutson. I think he's just the way he says it. He had no clue, but that dude was my favorite. That Sylvia. Yeah, he's just off to the side. He's always had something funny to say. I like Paulie is, Oh Paulie. But yeah, I gotta go back and watch the Printers. That was great. Uh, where are you playing something from them? Okay? The nightclub? Yeah, excuse me nothing, night club. Dale Junior download. He his great guests. I'm just recommending people if you want, if you've got time. His interviews ranged from an hour two hours, depending upon what guest he has on. And I know what you're thinking, Oh God, Dascar, dude. A lot of this stuff ends up being not about Nascar. It's some really cool stuff and I recommend it. It's you two. You go to YouTube, Dale Junior Dirtymo Media. I think it's what's called terrific interviewer. Did they take it off of Peacock they used to show. Yeah, he's he's no longer part of NBC. Yeah, and they really let him go. They they let him go. What that's not a good move. I mean, of the two, I would have kept him versus Jeff Burton exactly. Yeah. Amen, But but they're all talking about Fox being Their last episode was last week. Is Fox good gone for good? Or are they coming back again next spring? Just the race Hub? Okay, yeah, Fox is? Yeah, so Fox will be doing it? Fox is and then Dale Junior picks up next year with Amazon. Gotcha is it Amazon? Yeah? I think so they do. Okay, you're listening to Life, Liberty, Happiness. Now onto sports. It's time for sports, all right. NASCAR is in Cali, or was in Cali this past week, right, so Noma. I think it was I could I just I cannot do road courses. Course is not entertaining. It was a rec fest, Larson one, you know whatever it was. Okay, Nascar is back in action this week in Iowa. I do appreciate that he can go anywhere and win. Yeah, I mean that's pretty incredible. But he's back in Iowa this week? Or NASCAR is this This is the first time they've been back at Iowa since two thousand and four. I didn't even know they were rested Iowa. Yeah. I don't remember it either, but apparently they screwed up. They were starting to pave repave it, but only could get half of it done in time, and the drivers are livid. Wow, because they've only paved half the track. How can you be amazed? Oh god, Harvick was living. He's like, dude, this is the biggest screw up NASCAR's ever done. Oh wow. I mean that's it's almost like they're run by high scores. Yeah, don't go there this year, Go the next year if you don't have you know, how like before the Olympic Committee chooses a city, you have to prove that you have all the facilities or that you're going to build them or all that. NASCAR just like, okay, we'll go do that one. And it ain't ready. I think NASCAR owns this one. Uh okay exactly. So they're going to get all the fans in, make some bucks and then try to improve it. Yeah. I get it's a smart way do it. I guess it makes sense. But I mean, Indy does race there, so it's not like NASCAR is the only thing in town. Yeah. So anyway, moving on from that, Max for Stapping is back in the Winter Circle for F one. He won the Canadian Grand Pricks. That was it's it's what I think is entertaining about F one right now is who's going to be in second? Yeah, it amazes me Max is still up there when I mean they have the biggest disparity right now between two drivers of anything. What's going on with Sergia. I don't know where he's dropped to in the points, but it's interesting to me that everybody who's coming for a second now Mercedes was up there last week, so that that's kind of entertaining to me. I wish you had seen the last lap I did watch. Did you could you believe he moved old uh Lewis Hamilton out of the way. George Russell, Yeah, yeah, that tells you now you know he's not coming back next year because he would have never done that. Boz was coming back. Yeah, I thought that was interesting. Hey, can I go back to the race real quick, quickly? Okay, Tyler Panell, he's been on. He's been dogging Fox News or Fox Racing, Fox Sports here and I've always liked Fox because of the announcers. But he's spot on because he's the one that made me alert that they missed so much during the race. It's crazy that last lap I got upset when you have Ross Chastain tracking down Kyle Busch, you know what's going to happen. And then they cut away to the fans and you don't even see that. And then you look up and Ross Chastain is ahead of Kyle Busch. Yeah, and then Tyler Panell says that, I guess Chase Elliott did the same thing to Ross before they got to the finish line and what's his name ran out of gas and we saw none of that. It's crazy, which if you're not aware, you should check out Tyler Panell on TikTok. And he does the paint schemes every week. He was on our show. He's terrific. He always gives great information every week. I mean even stuff in his paint schemes. He gives you these little hidden gems. He needs to come around on Joey Legano a little bit, but we'll give him a little great well, I mean, he gives you a shout out. I know, no, I appreciate that, but we're gonna keep listening Tyler until you finally go shout out to my boy Joey Logana. Well, I don't think you'll ever do that. At recently gives acknowledgement to L. L. H. All right, moving on to NBA Finals, Celtics look like they take a commanding two lead. Yeah, we'll see if Dallas can get back in the winning ways there at when they're in Dallas. World Series starts this week. Baseball College World Series. Yea, all a C C all sec. I'm so excited about this. Yeah, the game's been great. The regionals those were great, the Super Regionals those were great, and I know it's gonna be good when yeahs the World Series. Yeah, I mean, I can't stand your reasoning behind it, but yes, I agree with you. This is gonna be terrific. Oh, you're the worst. I've got a son that went to Tennessee and a daughter went to Zee State. I'm good with those. Yeah, but then you don't stop with that, a cousin that goes to such and such. So therefore I like that team. I've got to Georgia. Listen, it's awful. Why there's reasons for me to root for a team. My little nephews graduating from l s U. Anyway, you're horrible, Yeah, all right, w n B A just man. They just don't understand business idiots. It's just a business thing. They don't get it. They don't understand it. Hey, we need more money, we need the league, we need planes, we need this. Okay, we're bringing you the person that can bring you all that. Yeah, and you think just ship on her. Yeah, there's too far to I'm just saying that she's the sport right now. They gave us stat the other day. I had no idea the last time the w NBA had sold out an arena I think was its inaugural year an arena. That's what they said. Yeah, and every one of her games are sold out. Wow, And it's like, what are you missing? It's it's easy. She's making it easy for you. You have what would arguably, before Caitlin Clark, the biggest event for your sport would be the Olympics. Absolutely, and you had the biggest star. Absolutely, even if she played the first quarter, Yes, you let her play. Who's the guy that you like? Barnes has the podcast for NBA. I had the tattoos. Somebody slept with his wife. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, he made the comment, He's like, dude, I don't want to hear I'm tired of hearing. She she would have sat on the bench. You're going to beat every team by forty points. Yeah, whether she's there or not, you're still winning by forty. You can put her into the game and everybody's coming to see her, whether she's on the bench or not. And if she shoots from the logo against the Chinese, guess what country is watching that sport? The Chinese? Absolutely, and she does it against Algeria. Guess what country is watched. You just broadened your sport. Yeah, it's outrageous, it's absolutely stupid. Yeah, you're listening to sports on life Lead to Happiness. Our sports guest this week is Jeremy. He is Jeremy Sink. He's the ad with JF. We'll take a quick commercial break.

Joining us in the studio is the ad at Jefferson Forest. Jeremy C. Welcome to show. Good to see you guys again. Yeah, we're excited to have you in here. I've got some really tough questions to get to. I can't wait to get involved. Jeremy and I go back a little way. He was the baseball coach at Liberty High School here in Bedford for four years, three years, four years, four four years. Yeah, got that program turned around and started in the right direction, and hey made the playoffs this year. They're moving in the right direction. Yeah. Yeah. So, I mean, I think you definitely laid the foundation for success there. You know that that senior class in twenty twenty was a special one. They really messed a lot, and I think that goes for most of the teams in the seminals, And that was such a talented senior group across the entire district, and you know our group at Liberty was part of that as well. But yeah, just a great group of guys and you know, seeing things that are happening out there. It's good stuff, all right. So let's talk a little bit about you've moved over into the ad row at Jefferson Forest. One of the things that I wanted to know just off top of my head here, I want to get your take on transfers. Jefferson Forest has been a fitted from transfers, but lately, I mean, you've had some issues with with kids going to other places things like that. Where do you land on transfers? Uh? With not only within Bedford County but also across the board. You know, I think a lot of things with it now and in all sports, I think kids are just kind of emulating what they see. Yeah. Uh. In the college ranks, uh, people kind of move and go, and you know that this area is no different. I think it's Uh, people are always looking for, you know, where things fit best, whether it's athletically, academically whatever. And you know Bedford, you know, on the fore side of things, things are growing and by leaps and bounds and uh you know, folks moving into the area, and it's the same kind of thing when you look at within the seminar district, you look at you know, the number of kids who choose to go to l c AH, that kind of thing. It's just a different you know, when I talk to other ads in the state, they're like, you know, how do you how do you do with deal with that? And like, you know, they only see him once or twice, you know, in the playoffs, and we see him in every sport, so, you know, something we compete with on on a daily basis, uh, within our own But uh, now, I think it's just more than anything. I think it's just a microcosm of what kids are are seeing, you know, in the in the college ranks and you know, the free agency and market, and in professional sports. You know, very seldom you see a player stick with one team, yeah, for their careers or whatever. So I think it's just a kind of a broad spectrum of you know, kids just kind of emulate what they see. Yeah, well, you know, I said kids. I mean, like, yeah, it's not like it's just a kid or a student athlete choice, Like it's you know, what families are looking forward to push themselves into a situation to do things. Well, sure, it's uh, you know, we had Billy Hannen here I don't know, years so ago talking vhs L, and he he likes to remind us whenever we send him tough questions that the vhs L is essentially just ads and that you guys make all the the determination. So that's why I was asking where you were landing on transfers, because it's not just here, you see it in other places, but it's also like what you're saying at the next level, Holy cow, it's it's you got to deal with transfers, but also with n I L. You know that's yeah, that's an ever growing thing that it's it's finding its way into high school sports as well. And you know, I think that people are looking at whatever avenue they can they can find to you know, promote their their kids or their program or or whatever that is. So do you think now that we're kind of talking about that, do you think Division III can find a niche in this somehow? With with them fighting so much of the divisi in one level, can D three slide in and say, hey, maybe we can do a little bit more scholarship wise. You know, they're going to have to change the way that they structure it because in the Division three level it can't be it's only academic, so it's not athletic scholarship, So they would have to change something in there. Maybe that time is now and a for you when you see like a school like it was at the school that was in a Division three World Series and their school closed, Yeah, while they were in the World Series. How crazy was that? You know? And like they're essentially their parents and and alumni are the ones putting the bill to send them to wherever they're headed to or whatever. And that was just a crazy one too. But I mean that's the Division three ranks, right, And you see coaches kind of moving in and out of it because it is so tough one. You know, as a head coach, maybe you can make a good living if you're having and if you have a family, and you know, you want a little something extra for yourself to be able to say I got a house and family, kids all nine yards. But you look at the assistant stuff, like to be an assistant Division III level is super hard, aren't you are? You were you university? Look at Lucas John's first year, and that was that group who won the World Series last year. A lot of those guys were guys that we had brought in. A lot of them were those fifty year COVID seniors or whatever. But it was a group that was pretty amazing. And you know, you look at that Division III, look like you look a guy like Matt McGuire or Lucas or you know, the current run of college coach who just got out, Like it's harder to stay in those ranks now that I think it ever has been, just because the crunching of budgets and numbers and student athletes coming and going. You know, the endowments are down, enrollments are down, and so a lot of those smaller schools because the price tag is so big. You know, I think it's a lot of Again kind of the times that we're in, people are looking for what's the most cost effective way for me to move to the next thing, whether that's educational, It's what I advocate all the time. The most cost effective way is athletics. I'm sorry, look at your Division one level. What's bringing in the dollars? It ain't the education. I mean they're spending billions. Yeah, it's a huge thing, and I don't think it's slowing down down anytime soon. I think it's something that the NCAA and maybe the federal government gets involved in where it's like, we gotta kind of hone this in a little bit, you know, right, let's get go ahead, get back on the high school Trent. I see you, man, every time I go to a function, I'm only there at some of the functions. You're there at all of them. I mean, I see you and I think you were here. You had just taken the job. Last time you were here was that maybe a two years? How long you've been doing its two years? But it definitely feels like when together, it runs together. I think that everyone has that perception what they think ads do, and then when you're actually doing you're like, wow, so what what has surprised you? And then how's it going? How's it? You know? The every a d will tell you that the spring is just a a crazy time where it's a daily grind. You know, when you're in the fall, Friday nights can be a little wild with football whatever. But and you feel like, maybe, man, you kind of forget right that the spring is coming. It's like that Game of Thrones winters coming, like the spring is coming, and when you get into it, it feels like just rewind repeat but falling winter. You know, have they have their own stuff. But I would say that just the I felt like year two was was maybe even harder than year one because year one you don't really know what you don't know that too. It's like, hey, I know what this looks like and how it needs to be done, but I also want to do it better. So it's about refining things. You know. The most surprising thing I would say is just what it the daily grind looks like it can change on the on in a moment's notice, you know, transportation, rainouts, you name it. Like we've had a little bit of everything we had. We had practices and games altered for wildfires like oh that's right, that had never been done before. But just a lot of different things, and it's constantly thinking on your feet. You know, someone calls and says, hey, a bus driver's out. How we're going to get team a team to a game? You know, how are we going to get them out of class and get them to worthy it's supposed to go on time. It's uh, it's a lot, but I I am enjoying it like it. Uh, you know, I'm in the downtime now. Everything's finished up this past weekend. So this week has been more of putting things to bed and getting ready for next year and getting ready for vacation. Yeah. How soon? How soon do you get? How soon do you have to start back up and ready for football? I'll I basically take this week and I'll close everything out for the most part from this past year, you know, getting all the bills paid and things lined up, and you know, find out which coaches are sticking around them, which ones are leaving, that kind of thing, and then going to uh going to the beach for a week, and then I want to come back. I'll dive into next year with both feet. Yeah, good lord. Yeah, I didn't think about that. You do. The off season is probably your You don't think about it, but it can be one of your busiest times, especially if the job for sure, and you want to refine again, what are some things that you want to be a little bit better at each and every time, Like it's always pushing to what's next? Right, So do you meet with your coaches regularly. Is there like exit like after after the exit interview, but after the sea do you have a briefing with them? Sure? I mean what we typically do is I'll send out a Google form with surveys to my coaches that they send to the student athletes just about their experience this year in the program, and I'll sit down with the coach and we'll go through some of that stuff and we'll just kind of do like an exit an exit meeting, just you know, what are we looking forward towards next year, that kind of thing, you know, expenditures, And that's kind of one of the cool things you did. I think with baseball, you sat down with your players each each season and went over these were the good things, these were the bad things, and these are the things that will work. Sure, I'm trying to take that same mindset. Like you know, it's not so much coaching coaches. It's it's meeting with coaches and having relationship with coaches so that you know we're all on the same page and we move into the next year. Because you know, on the outside looking in, I'm not in practice every day, I can't tell what the pulse is of a team all the time. Sometimes you can tell. Sometimes you can tell by body language how things are going on on on the field or on the court or whatever, like something's something's a little bit different here, something's something strained, or you can see, man, that these kids are really pulling hard for for for this group and for this for this staff. That kind of thing. But I think at the end of the day, when you sit down you talk with coaches, it's about getting the pulse going into next year, Like what'll be thinking about that? You know, what's what's it looked like? You know, is your staff returning because just like and we talked about with the college rings like asking assistant coaches for the kind of time that is required to be great. You know, I think a head coach understands it sometimes, especially assistant coaches who maybe have never done it before. You know, it's this year round thing. Now. Typically the the coach, the older coaches know, the newer ones come in. They're like, man, this is this is this is a lot, and it is. But it's also the part where if you want to be successful, you got to work like the teams that are successful. So you know, I saw you Saturday, and man, and I asked you, because I knew that the girls had the state championship game Saturday, and I was there to to watch the boys soccer team, and so you were there. I was like, Hey, when do the girls play? And you said, well there right over there, like Western Alvumar was hosting both games at the same time. How cool is that? But one school had two teams in the title game. Now both of them didn't end up like we wanted. Man, how rewarding was that? I say, I think the coverage area for the news in advance. I think that Ben and wrote about it, and think we were over four on that day, so you know, we weren't the only ones who came up a little bit short. But you know, the jubilee. More I learn about it now it's you know, people are like, why is it not at a college venue? Right? And I'm asked that question, why is it not a college venue? Well, it's about one. You got to the host whoever the hosting school is, has to go through that part of getting getting the sites, you know, paying the bills and getting the people to work it. Because when you're you know on this site, this, this sight, this sight, well then it's going to be four or five different sets of people who are working that. You know, with Western Albemarle, it was Western amount of Chella in Charlottesville. The their their three high schools work together to do the jubilee and it's a two year thing, so they'll do it again next year. I actually like it. It's not bad. But when you know we're this, the things get a little tougher. Is you know when you're playing a state championship game in football and it's at l U or Virginia Tech. Yeah, right, people, you know when it's in basketball it's at VCU at the Seagle Centers, it's like why are we not playing at a college venue? So that that part is that part is difficult. So so not to step on toes or anything, but can you explain what happened with the baseball team? Yeah? You know how they got this question honestly because being a baseball guy, the amount of the amount of flak thing, Yeah for sure. But things that I put myself through those two days leading up to the coin flip. It's not like I just walked in on a Monday and said, hmm, I think we'll just walk in here and flip this Coin, I'll go to lunch. It wasn't you know the region. It was brand new and this past year was our first year with the new members. We lost louis Or, we lost Pulaski, we lost Western, but we gained John Hanley, Rando, neil Brook, James Wood, Liberty Building, and Charlottesville. So we grew, and when we grew, we became the almost positive we are the largest geographically speaking region in the whole state. We stretched from basically where Handley's of around the Winchester area, right right near the panhandle of West Virginia, Maryland, and stretched all the way to Mecklenburg County, which is literally a stones throwaway from North Carolina. So further school with the front of the school, we're looking at probably about six hours or more. So in the grand scheme of things, I don't think anybody wants to put their teams on a bus for six six and a half hours on a Tuesday night and have to do that. So that was something as the ads, we sat down and said, we're growing, how are we going to do this? So the part of it was when we looked at the two North and South making it subregions. Some regions are highly against it. You know, we had done something similar, but then it became the point of how many rounds do we have? So this was very much the first year of this is how it's going to look, how's it going to work out? No one can totally foresee, so no one had you know, we had used a coin flipball already during the winter, but it was for who was the seating, not who's in who's out. And the South subregion baseball was the most competitive of any sport. Yeah, I mean was lost out too, right, Yeah, and that picture for Amherst was a stud right Virginia Gatoray Player of the Year. Yeah, like when he's so you know they're fourth to be fixed. They're fourteen and six fourteen yeah, and not making the playoffs. We're fifteen to five not making the playoffs. And the thing is the Halifax SATH director, myself, Justin H. Signers, we spoke at length and we emailed when we text and we called is there any chance of a just to play in? We we actually talked about it because it got to the point where it's like we've never dealt with this before. So rather than go to a coin flip. Can we just agree both teams agree with do a play. Yeah, and you know Justin and I at Halifax and let's just do that. But then it was like, well, we didn't do that in the winter, and there was you know, it wasn't in or out, but we didn't do that in the winter, and we didn't do that in the fall. You just can't, you know, within the Region four D handbook, it's not something we can just kind of change on the floor. Yeah, exactly, And it had to be something that was you know, it's not just ads, but it gets pushed to principles and principles have prove it or you know, sending it back to us, that kind of thing to work on. So you know, it works cut out for us this this off season. We're meeting here in July and uh, they all the ads from the schools and the reef and four D will sit down and we'll figure out a way that is going to work. And you know, but I've been very upfront said I'm going in here with a different mindset about how we're gonna fix this because at the end of the day, our guys are the ones who lost out right, and if I'm on the if I'm on the win inside of that queen flip, you know, Halifax a d and I talked like he felt just as terrible as I did, because we're both baseball guys, right, So we're like, man, how are we gonna how are we gonna sell this, How we're gonna how we're gonna get this back to where it makes sense? Because it does. There's no way, there's nothing I can say or do for that to ease any of those things, because you know, when I sit down and talk with Coach g and his uh, his his program that day, it felt very I even told them that day it said it felt EERI least similar to having that conversation in twenty twenty one. You know those guys the season was over. Yeah, and it's nothing that we can do about it. In the moment, I had done everything within my power to fix it, to change it, and honestly, there was nothing more I could do at that moment. And it's a sickening feeling because you know that you belong, you know, you know you should be in. But that's because it came down the same way. In basketball, there were twoundefeated teams in the North, and you know, we're a team that was I think, I don't know, eighteen and four something like that, and we're the one seed and we'd be the three seed in the North. So you know, those things get pushed back and forth because depending on what sport it is. But baseball in the South was really really tough. So who's out of all the sports, what's the toughest fan base. I mean, everybody has the highs and the lows, right, I think, honestly, like tennis, honestly, the I think it's just the day and the venue. What becomes difficult is when everything falls on the same day, where you've got you know, a soccer game or a lacrosse game, and tennis and softball and baseball, and it's all going on at the same time. So you've got to have enough workers. You got to have enough officials, you got to have enough concessions, you got to have enough people running the cart up and down the hill because that hill might as well be Mount Everest. I had to buy two new carts this year because the old ones had to basically just given out. I had to get two new carts this year. So I would say, like when it comes to those kind of things. It's which fan base can we get in and out of the stadium and have the least amount of things happened during the game, whether it's weather, because you know when it starts lightning, the thunder and you have to tell people to go to your cars, and you've got to get all those people you just brought into the stadium evacuated out of the stadium. And that's included people who elderly or handicap who need help out out of you know, it becomes a fire drill all in the moment for anywhere from five hundred to two thousand people. So now that you've been in it and you feel like you're gaining your ground and getting some traction, what is it that So Brian and I talk about this, and it's his passion this maybe he should have come from him more than me, But I think about it is your budget and what you have to work with, and if there was a lamp that you could rub, how much more would you need in a budget to have a world class Christiansburg type facility, Salem type facility. People that put the town that puts Moneys into their programs. What would something like that look like. You know, the one thing that we've kind of pushed hard since we got here is that at JF the areas growing, right, So when the area grows, you know, more and more kids involved in different athletics, and we have more sports and more teams than basically anyone else in the area and district. But what we don't have is the space that a lot of their teams have, and that's probably the biggest obstacle that we face. So you're asking about a magic lamp, if I had an auxiliary gym, if I had a second practice facility that I could could double up as a game facility. You know, we talked about the turf field, and you start quoting these things out and you know, it's a million dollars. You know, I can't sell enough candy bars and sodas to make that happen. So it does come from those private donors and people who want to invest in athletics in the program, but it also comes with what's also next, because when you come to Saber Stadium, where you go to Thacker fieldever, like, there's certain things you look and it's like, man, that looks awesome, and there are certain areas you look at and like I would really love to fix that right now, but I don't have that magic lamp and I don't have that, you know. I think sometimes it's like why you get the money your JF, Like it's not always that way because, believe it or not, in Bedford County, like we all have the same budget. Like it's the same thing. That's yeah, you know, so we have to be clever and how we we we budget and do things because we're land drapped. You know, that's the one thing that I think is the toughest for us because I'll tell you right now, if you come to JF any time between Monday through Friday, there's gonna be somebody in the gym, there's gonna be somebody in the weighting room, there's gonna be someone on the turf. And it's pretty much like that year round. And it's not like, you know, we're always trying to keep up and be great because you know, it's been awesome for two years. We've sent every well I can say that until the thing, you know, the infamous coin flip. But in two years, nearly all of our teams have made the region and this year and not only made it, but advanced in regional p So, yeah, the success is there, but success comes at a price. And then that price is people have to be creative, including myself and the coaches and families and the athletes and when and where they practice because it's not always right after school. Everyone thinks that like, oh, you know, you get out here and you get this time, Like sometimes it's a thirty nine, a thirty nine thirty almost ten o'clock at night and people are still grinding to get ready for the next game. So that part is probably the biggest obstacle. So if I had a magic lamp, a couple in another gym, another another facility to use for practices and or games would be amazing. Yeah, I mean, I'm at a hole. I'm Chris Wats came in and spoke at our banquet it used to come to, which was it's a really good event absolutely, and he said something. Now he's on the recruiting trail, so he gets to see all these high schools and he may mentioned that Virginia in a hole, not just this area, woefully underfunds their athletic programs. I mean, you know, he talks about facilities with indoor facilities, practice football facilities right indoor, you know, stuff for baseball, softball. I mean the counties, the areas are spending millions because they realize the investment pays off on the education side. Sure, that's something I'm working on feveroushly. We're going to have hopefully the new superintendent in and that's one of the things I'm going to hammer on is And I don't know how we get their funding wise, but I think right now Bedford is in a really unique opportunity. I think we have it's a weird situation, but I think it's a neat situation. While we still have rivalries between the three schools, right we're actually in a unique position. You've got one in Division four, one in Division three, and one in Division two, right, so ever going to face each other in the playoffs, so all three can be very supportive of each other, which should happen, and so I think it's a it's an opportunity for all three to be able. We just have to figure out a way we can get more funding to all three schools at a level. I'm not talking like somebody said to me one hundred thousand that's not even going to scratch the surface for me, like, I think there's a way somehow that we need to be five six hundred thousand dollars each school that I know. I know that it sounds crazy to people, but when you find out other places, five hundred thousand wouldn't get you nothing. They start with a million in their budget, right. Well, you know, I think that when you're talking about budgets and we're talking about you know, Bedford County in general, I said this. You know, I've seen a number of kids from throm Stant River Liberty who have shown up in our games, and I'm sure it's the same you know at their at their places as well, and you see Bedford County support in Bedford County, I think. You know, I grew up in Botatye where it was Lord Bota James River. You know, we were the small school and Lord Botta was the big school, and you know there was always the perceptions everything and that kind of thing. And you come to realize that. You get a little older and you start playing ball against those folks, and uh, you graduate, you're like, man, you know, we had some great rivalries, we had some great teams, we had some great games, and then you're like we're all from the same county, right like it it's it was body type. And you know, I took that approach when I started coaching American Legion baseball because I had both schools and it was, you know, we're going to do it the right way and we're gonna promote both and that kind of thing. And I've seen that and like on our end, I talk about it all the time. It's like I tell the kids, it's like, when you graduate, you're gonna talk about you're from Bedford County and what that looks like and having that pride and not just you know, the town you came from, but in the school system and the area you came from, because I mean, you look at Bedford County, you look at Bedford and my dad and I just went to Green's drug Store today and the first time he had been in there, and oh wow, he had been to the memorial, had never been inside Greens drug store. So we did that today and it's an amazing thing when you think about the history of this place. When you say Bedford County, people know where you're coming from, so world, you know, and it is a huge thing. I think once people graduate in some of those lines between one score or another, they kind of get softened up. Oh sure. Now, always there's always the fun part of it too. It's like, you know, when games that are big games are come come to play, then there's always gonna be that poking and jabbin. But at the same time too, it's you want to see your teams within your area too. Well. So now I think you actually were instrumental in putting together the when the when the season got canceled in twenty twenty, you put together that the game at the City Stadium, the Ryan Roberts Classic. Oh well, it's kind of changed a little bit here, and you know, since I've taken this role, i haven't been coaching, but now when the teams come to play, you know during the high school season, Yeah, they mark it off as the Ronnie Roberts Classic because that first year, like literally they filled it with all seminole seniors and it was great. There was forty. They should do that again and it will be all stars, and it should be. They tried to. It was We tried to the next year, and I think it was just a smaller senior class. That senior class in twenty twenty was massive, and the next one we started pulling in kids from the Dogwood as well to fill it. And then by year three it was like, hey, you know, those kids missed something so much in twenty twenty, Yeah, there was any chance they can get to get back on the field together with that group. And then then and you know, I think Salem's dealing with the same thing because they're still actually doing it. They caught the last chance came the Salem Red Sox and you know, I don't think that that the numbers are quite as high as they were the last several years, but it's still something that's really awesome. And you know, something like that with for Rannie and when Chris Jones, who was a gem at the time, talked about that, like, you know, I had already been kind of working in the Hillcats organization as the youth camp, yeah, organizer or whatever, but you know I'm still doing that, you know, nine years later. But it's an awesome organization. I think anytime you can tie into your your professional team that's in your backyard, like why not, you know, they're great. Well, I think even if it wasn't seniors, if it was All Star, that's something I'd love to watch, Like I just know that particular game we were talking about Logan got to play with Abbott, I think was pitch Yeah, and then two. I mean, these are two would that would never speak to each other because ones at brook Full, ones at Liberty, and yet they're playing on the same team and that's all they He's talking about Abbot, Abbot's talking about him, and it's just it became a friend. That was that was that twenty twenty was an emotional one. It was Yeah, after the game, a lot of hugs and tears and like, man, thank you so much for putting this together and that kind of thing. You know, my part was very minimal, Like I helped organize the teams, sure, you know, who was where and that kind of thing, and who was practicing and and that kind of thing. But when it came to this stuff on the on the field, we just turned the guys loose and said God joy us. And it was awesome. And at the end of it, the plays were amaze. I think everyone walked away from that saying, like, you know, at least we got something. This was you know, turning you know, lemons and lemonade. Yeah, yeah, got anything. Else there, Tripp Man, just one thing that this year I've noticed in two sports and at the end of the year, has something changed? And did you notice this at Liberty that Senior Night is not the last home game. I've just ran into that. I didn't know this. When did that start? When you when you ask the coaches, and sometimes it's it's it's a result of rainouts and then games get moving around. But sometimes it's like, now, I'd really like to have this game be my senior Yeah, I would have want to lose on Senior Night. So that's why it makes it tough. When I swear it felt like I used to get so mad at the a D when they would schedule a stud opponent for homecoming, like come on, man, we we try not to do it early, you know. But it's also the kind of thing where it's like, if it makes sense during this week, did you go ahead and do it? And it's the same kind of thing I think when it comes to homecoming. You know, you don't want to do it too early, you don't want to do it too late. And we have something on every single home football game like we were, you know, Military Appreciation Hall of Fame Night, pink out. I mean, it's just stuff that's going on every and honestly, it's it's kind of trickled down to where it's not just a football thing anymore. It's every basketball game has a has a theme, and volleyball games have them. Baseball Yeah, it's uh, but it's cool. And I think the one thing that I pushed from day one was an involvement in the community. And there's a lot of stuff that's already going on, but seeing programs take on that little bit extra to push them their kids and their program into the community. It's that part is probably what I'm most proud of in the last two years, and seeing how much fun kids have come when they come to our camps or they come to the different events that are going on on game night. Where are your jersey? You get in free, you know, come on the field for the national anthem, you know, come to the come to the camp like today. You know, my daughter just finished up volleyball camp at JF. My daughter worked. Yeah, I saw rally out there and uh today we had when we come back, it's uh, you know, baseball is going on right now as well. They're finishing up this week. Basketball camp and Jeff was last week. We got solid the tournaments, the summer league and that's been awesome. That's jump into that and it's it's it's a way to get competition. Yeah, when you can, you know, and uh again, it's it's all about trying to keep up because if you if you're not, somebody else is right. That's right. Well, I appreciate you joining us today, Thanks for taking your time out. Good luck to you in the future, good luck to jf And we'll have it back in the studio maybe during during one of the seasons. Sure thing, all right, appreciate it, Thank you, all right, man, thank you for time. All right, Now on to what's happening. It's time for news, all right, Trent uh Man, what a great, great second. Yeah, it's good to catch up with old friends. And you can just see the energy that Jeremy puts into this. Oh yeah, you literally see it from the field the stand. Sure, fans, it's a world of difference. He's made a world of difference in two years. I don't know if I have to meet a billionaire or something. Something's gonna happen. We're gonna change the way funding is done for schools. I'm telling you, people laugh at me and think I'm crazy. Dude. There's a perfect place for us to go build something like this, and that's over at the Bedford County Nursing Home. If we had the central spot over there, they would be the mecca. We could do whatever we wanted out there. So it's funny you say that, because that is the plan that Chris Wats took to them in two thousand and two. Oh really, it was he wanted to Salem. He wanted a stadium where all the schools could Yeah, could absolutely just shine and just have a central listen, sports complex. Why are you playing at Western Albamore Because their facilities are nice. That's why we don't have that. And honestly, I didn't think they were that. I mean, they weren't. There was nothing special about it in my opinion. But it's that they do put money into their athletics. But it's because they can join the jubilee that whole I didn't. I'm glad to explain that because I didn't know what the heck that was that Charlesville got with us, Western Alamo all got with the other two schools. Yeah, we can have a Jubilee here, I came and build something. I swear, there just needs to be some just some momentum towards something like that. Yeah. Yeah, so anyway, Yeah, speaking of momentum, let's go to crazy. So I ran into this and I'm just curious. I will play this clip. Have you heard that? No, dude, it never crossed my mind. You called me and was complaining about plastic bags. It's not like made a complain, but you had to pay for a plastic bag. Oh god, Charlesville. Okay, when I went up to the yper game for that, sir, listen to this girl and I never thought of this until she said something cut too make it makes sense. Tell you cheese in a plastic bag, bread in a plastic bag, on in milk, and a plastic jug, blueberries and a plastic carton, paper towels and a plastic wrap will cover? Is it plastic plastic bags for your produce? Meat wrapped in plastic but they I won't give you a plastic bag or a brown bag unless if you pay for it. Of course, because we're seeing anybody explain that. It never crossed my mind till she said something. She's exactly right. Every freaking thing you bring to the registers in plastic. So last weekend it is the first time I've ever run into that they wouldn't put I had paid, and you know, the courtesy for me is I just don't say anything after I've paid, and the person who doesn't want to bag something will ultimately go do you need me to put that in a bag? And I'll be like, yeah, please, cause I don't want my stuff rolling around in my car. So I waited the pause, you know, the courteousy pause, and there was nothing. And so then I said, can you put that in the bag now I've already paid, and she goes, that's five cents, sir in Alvamar County. I was like, well, I'll save the five cents. But I mean that's why they do it. I mean, it's completely right. But her point is you're not what are you saving with one plastic bag? Everything else is in plastic I guess because and you know what you were paying for it anyway, exactly, the store owner up to his prices because of what he had to pay to get the bags there, correct, whether they were already paid for it's I mean, it's everything that they try to push us to do that's green makes no sense. Yeah, it never has ever made sense. Solar panels. Yeah, okay, what happens to night doesn't make sense. By the time you end up paying for the investment, the panel starts to deteriorate and you're no longer getting the benefit from it. Yeah, it's just so out of spite. When I went down the road a mile down the road, I took my bottle and I threw it out and littered them. Oh is that crossing the jar line? Whatever? Yes? Too far, jar, too far jar? All right. Congratulations to our own Vince Ellison for his appearance on Tucker Carlson. How cool is that? Yeah? That is cool And apparently that's coming on at some point because Tucker interviewed him. Correct with him, No, okay, no, but what he's holding out on us? But Vince was there at Tucker's facility. Yeah, so that is cool. We need to have Vince on Yeah, holy cow, that's a great idea. Brun Hey wat just not be able to get him on there. That would suck anyway, turn us down. We're sorry. High as Tucker Hunter Biden's son is guilty, which means absolutely nothing to me. Surprising. Yeah, it was surprising. But at the same time, I'm always like Washington is so screwed up that I always think, all right, there's a good reason for this. Why you know something's gonna happen. Anybody who doesn't like Donald Trump just shut up? You know why the tweet that he had this classic don't worry hunter, When I become president, I'll pardon you. Oh yeah, I mean because it's because his dad says he's going to stay out of it. Yeah, don't worry. When I become president, I'll take care of it. So and have at it. I'm going to play what Biden did the day his son. It's so it's what a joke? Awful? Yeah? Uh? Anyway, the real man answer stupid questions. You know, I can't read Boom ready even though it's tight. Glad I got new classes and I'm just getting used to the progression. I thought you were not in. Yes, like you actually agreed with me this week. No, they're a little different than you're just trying to read. You know, they're a little they're sleeker. Damn rebands. You would think my cheaper ones work better. Anyway, Hey, if Raybans wants to be a sponsor of the show. Though these things are great. I like their classes. Right. Uh, this is the way real men answer questions to the media. I love this guy him becoming a massive fan of his the Celtics coach. Yeah, like cut three, Hey, Joe school. But the first time is Seve is you have two black head coaches given the flight sometimes the black head coaches in the NBA. Do you think this is a significant moment? Do you take pride in this? How do you view this or do you not see it at all? I wonder how many of those are Christian? Dude, he's just and he just silence as what makes him great. So if you couldn't pick up on what he said, so of course the sports media, hey we got two head black head coaches. What do you think about that? And he wants a Colin Kaepernick type moment, right, that's what he's trying to pull out. But this guy, instead of answering and falling for the that most of them do, he said, how come the question wasn't about us being Christian coaches? You know what I mean? And he's like, I don't think if people get to know him, like, he's not a joke like he's being for real about it though he ain't joking. Like did you see when they ask him about the royal family? Yeah? His only royal family. Yeah, you know, but I'll say, I mean a isn't it great to have someone with moral character as a leader? Yes, but be the question itself. You want to talk about race, right, but you don't talk about religion, correct? And to me that's the deeper problem. You didn't and you won't even mention it, and I'm not allowed to. Yes, and I'm going to man, how great was that? And by the way, do you know why he's not touted as a great coach? It's because of that. He won't give them the soundbites that they're looking for. He's just a great coach. By the way, he's the youngest coach. He's the youngest coach ever in the NBA finals. You wouldn't know it because they won't want it. They don't want to toubt him. Now, if he'd given the answer that guy was looking for, it would be on every paper right now, how great he is. But he doesn't fit their narrative. State farm is a long term TI lung ty, not anymore.

Then eighties, I don't know. Yeah, all right, Number eight, Cale Ripkens, iron Man start. Oh yeah, I remember what a massive deal that was. I was there the night he tied it. Yep, you were yeah, left field corner hit a home run, didn't he? We were right, there. Well, we were right above their base. But yeah, he had a home run that night and he hit won the night to do Okay, I'm pretty sure. Wow, yeah number seven Ken Griffy's he had a home run catch one time. He was kind of known for stealing. But man, that dude could climb a wall and snatch a ball. Yeah, better than anybody. And did he ever do anything that wasn't graceful. Everything looked just smooth. It looks natural. Yeah. God, that's a guy. I'd love to hear an interview with. Oh. I was a huge Kim Griffy fan. I'll see if I can get him on the kid. Isn't that what they called him? Because he was such a he was His dad played, but I mean loved Kim Griffy. Bo Jackson throwing out Harold Reynolds at home plate. I'm trying to remember that play. I remember Harold Reynand's Reynolds being shocked that the ball was there. Yes, where he throw it from? Literally no, he threw it from leftfield, but up against the fence, like there was no catching the ball and throwing it no, I mean it was just a sling and it was ridiculous, like I remember Harold Reynolds saying the ball passed him and he was like what, Yeah, like that shouldn't have happened. My bo Jackson was where he caught it and ran up the wall and down the side where he ran number two. Oh you do? Oh I didn't. I don't know. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. That was completely sorry. Oh my god, you're that woman that gives the punchline. Oh god, I'm so sorry. I never do that, man, I did not know that that number five. Yes, Ken Kevinetti. Yes, when he threw you're right, I put his knees, but it was his ass. I thought he was sitting on third base he was. Yeah, he just launched it and it was a seed. Man. I love kim Kebinetti too. By the way, best thing in baseball are nicknames. Yeah, you sent the one with the Clemson player. Are we allowed to say it? Yeah? His last name one? Yeah, you sent it. I told you I sent it to her. It's but it's true. It's a real name. Yeah. And of course his number was double zero Old Titsworth, tits Worth, Kyle Titsworth. Yeah, it's crazy. I saw last night a guy for the Mariners at a home run and he's round to the bags. And the guy on Sports Center said, and of course his nickname is the Big Dumper. We do miss those good old what's his name? Was good at that? Chris Berman? You're Chris Berman? Yeah, Tim sock eyed Salmon, Yeah, he used to have some of the best ones. But Kim Kebinetti Ken had a weird story, like he was a Snickers or something he used to eat before every game. He had a weird an he died cancer. Yeah. Uh. Number four Kirk Gibson's walk off the old just pump Yeah yeah, was he really that hurt? Yeah yeah, I think so. Number three Derek Jeter's catch when he went barreling into the state into the stands. Yeah. Did he cut himself or oh yeah, I think he had a cut in his chin. Yeah yeah. Number two was the Bo Jackson wall ride. Sorry, when he just he looked like Spider Man just climbing the wall. Yeah, it's crazy. Uh. Number one was Willie May's catch in the outfield. Yeah, that's kind of an iconic, yeah thing, all right, give me sweet yours real quick. So I saw yours and he just got me inspired. So I just ran through real quickly. I don't have him like in any kind of order, but the bloody sock big event was shaling that. One thing I hate more than anything is when the media can take an event in ruin it. Okay, do you remember when they made it a controversy that maybe he really wasn't bleeding all night? You remember that? Oh yeah, they tried to all because he was a right wing guy. We found that out later on. They tried to say that he purposely did that. And by the way, I was not a Kurtsheeling fan. I liked him with the Diamondbacks because they had him and Randy Johnson and they were freaking awesome. But I was not a fan of his at the Red Sox. But he was a decent announcer. Oh yeah. When he became an announcer, I was like, this guy knows his stuff. I like listening to him. And they ran him off because he's conservative exactly. Yeah. Ricky Henderson and Nolan Ryan. The day that they both had their event, it was Ricky Henderson gets it. And I think he played his adop the other day where he's said he was the greatest. But the headline stealer was Nolan Ryan getting the seventh no hitter same day. Yeah, Roger Clements, do you remember when he struck out? I think it was twenty that it was struck out. Was it twenty one? I think it was twenty one, and then I know, I think think it's been tied by Carrie Woods at the Yeah, he did, but phenomenal. Roger Clemens was such a beast. And I read yours with Derek Jeter in the and I was like, man, I thought his bigger play was when he ran from out of nowhere and made the play at home plate. You were that was the bigger one where he ran across and he didn't make the out he ran he cut off a throw right yeah, and then pitched it to the home play. The throw was coming from right field. Yea. They overthrew the cutoff man and so it went over the first baseman's and it bounced. Yeah, he cut it off and tossed it home or else that guy would have been safe. And that was a division or definitely in the playoffs. Yeah, and I thought it was against the A's. But what I think is really cool is a guy like that is an All Star doesn't have to ever do that and twenty or one hundred times that he goes and does at that ball never needs to be cut off. But he's there for one hundred and first time to do it again and is there for it. Yeah, oh man, what a great play. He doesn't get enough credit from being one of the greatest. I don't think yeah he gets. I mean you think he does. I think he does. The Yankee guy he mentioned him every time they can. Randy Johnson that you know. I know he killed the bird and everything. But my favorite thing was when I'm pretty sure he was a Mariner, he was a man and they're playing the Yankees and they have to win a I think it was a five game series, yes, and he comes out after having pitched the day before, I think, and then comes out and I'm going to still do it, and I'm pretty sure he does it. But I just remember the crowd going crazy when he comes out of the dugout, oh man, or the bullpen. This one I did because of Travis. He's a listener and we got into a big squabble you everybody else about this weekend because Clemson had their bat toss guy get ejected. Now the bat toss guy probably went he crossed the what we call the line, the cross, the jar, the yes, whatever. He took the bat. It was a toss. He took it and like just chucked it. Okay, okay, so okay, But did he chuck it? This is the part problem I've always had. Did he chuck it at the opposing dugout? No? Then we're done exactly and by the way, in that game, and I'm gonna step on toes of people, and I hope my daughter goes to Clemson, and Clemson was hosting that game. But dude, there was so much trash talking going on from those fans and those players on both sides in both ways that every time there was a strikeout to end the ending, both pictures would stalk tore the dugout, flexing and just yelling like crazy, how can that guy walk thirty feet talking smack all the way to the dugout and this guy can't toss a bat? Right? I just it's like they won't allow adults to be in the room. Yeah, and why do you have to have a rule. You have adults, they're called umpire. Yeah, at any point in time, they can go enough. You don't have to throw a kid out and you can set the standard. And maybe he did, but they should have told us that. They didn't tell you anything. They just subjected guy and then they got eject two managers. Yeah, yeah, stupid. So anyway, my play was the bat toss to me started with Jose Bautista, the Blue Jay. Oh yes, when he hit one out in the playoffs. That's the first bat toss. I can remember how cool that was after he hit that ball. And then the last one is one of my favorite plays, and I hope I'm remembering it right. But Albert Bell gets hit by a pitch and refuses to go to first base because he wants to hit a home run. We were there, I swear I thought that was right. We were there. And the biggest a point that is left out of your thing is it would have cranked three three home runs and it would have been his fourth, right, but they would and they plumped him and he would not go to first base. I'm going to hit my fourth home run and I'm not going to go in the umpire. And then his own manager had to talk him into going to first base. Yes, we were there. That was the That was the game where one of our people refused to buy beer. Yeah, we won't give any names. Yeah you know who you are, Yeah, JC, But that's what that's my baseball memories. What I thought was cool? All right, I want to have that at it with Trench Warner Ama coming after you after me? You can come after me, guys. I think I need to go home. Oh do you No, I'm just drinking. It was the wrong intro. I just feel different when I don't have the I didn't like that one. Oh, I'm sorry? Was that too far? Jar? No? Well what you didn't like his old one? Oh? So you went with executive decision over here? Well how many weeks? Well I left her just one. I'm going after next week, so like you can just start counting on the days as I am. Oh hey, all right, so you could be like you are the other podcasts and just sit back there and do nothing. Yeah, at least they don't attack me for more. But it's okay, I'll cry out later. That sounds like you're doing a pretty good job of it now, all right? So Hunter gets convicted, right, so the liar in chief listen to this song cut thirty. This is what doing. We need you. We need you to overcome the relenting opposition of the gun lobby, gun manufacturer's so many politicians when they oppose common sense KUN legislation. I used to be a law when I was no longer the vice president, I became a professor at the University of Pennsylvania. Before that, I taught to conscercial class. And we'll talk to the Second Amendment. There's never been a time that says you can own anything you want. Yeah, yes, never. You couldn't own a cannon during the war. I think you about how much you hear this phrase, the blood of liberty lost your dough give me a break. You couldn't finish it. I made Seriously, if they want to think they is to take on government if we get out of line, which they're talking again about, guess what they need at fifteen they don't need. Okay, he's lost it. He's completely lost it. But all of that was lies, lies, lies. And what is so beautiful about that clip is Fox News is having him play. I'm pretty sure it is Fox News. And on the right side is Hunter is convicted of gun possession. So who is he going to go after? He's going to go after the Second Amendment where he says, well, there was no time in our history that you can you could own anything. Yes it was. There was nothing that said you couldn't buy a cannon. If you could buy a cannon, he's just making up lies. And if that was a professor, which he wasn't, teaching a class about the Second Amendment, which he didn't, that's dangerous that he would be the guy telling young students lies. Right, it's horrible. Yeah, it's not even but it's not just a lie. He's not even close to the truth. Yeah, like you're not skirting you know, a gray area. Yeah, it's not even close. And at the end, what he mumbled there and it got cut off right then what he mumbled there at the end is what he has said in the past that if you're going to try to overthrow the government, you don't need guns, you need f eighteens. He's given you a threat that he's got more military power than you do. Yeah. Looks, we already know because you're using the Department of Justice to go after people. We know this. Got that interview that Tucker Carlson had with Hunter Biden's ex girlfriend or baby Mamah, haven't heard this scary? Huh? The one down in Georgia, like they divorced one, yeah, or the one getting child sport. Yeah. If not for her, By the way, a lot of these uh yeah, none of this was come to prosecutions would happened. She had two phones. They just went blank. You're a kidding. No, she's telling them like this when all this stuff started. She's telling Tucker when everything started to come up, right, like the court case or whatever. Because remember they didn't know who she was. She wasn't the mother or Biden wasn't the father. Members all of a sudden, she had two phones, a work phone and a just like a lot of us do, her phone, both phones go blank. Just lines come up on the screen. I gotta find this, and she said when it comes back, she went and got a new phone, but she had stuff on the cloud all gone. Anything that had anything to do with under Biden was gone from her phone. You're a kidding? Now, who does that? The government? Yeah, is the only way that can happen. That is incredible and it starts to make you guess. And this is what I just heard Elon Musk say this that he's close to banning and not having any iPhones and stuff. Who's allowing access to your cloud account. He doesn't want iPhones if iPhone is going to start downloading the chat, GPT, the artificial intelligence stuff. So I'm just I'm sorry, get into here. That's cool. Here's the reminder of how out of touch this fool is cut thirty five, mister president. As you know, last Tuesday, the annual inflation rate came in at eight point three percent. The stock market knows people are shocked by their grocery bills. What can you do better and faster? Well, first of all, let's put this in perspective. Inflation rate month to month was just just an inch, hardly at all. You're not arguing that eight point three is good news. No, I'm not saying it is good news. But it was eight point two where eight point two before. I mean, it's not your Maybe I can make it sound like all of a sudden, my god, it went to eight point two percent. It's the highest inflation rate, mister President in forty years. I got that. But guess what we are. We're in a position where for the last several months it hasn't spiked, It has just barely has been basically even is the economy going to get worse before it gets better. No, I don't think so. We hope we can have it, they say, soft landing transition to a place where we don't lose the gains that I ran to make in the first place, for middle class folks being able to generate good paying jobs and expansion. And you would tell the American people that inflation is going to continue to decline. No, I'm telling the American people that we're going to get control of inflation, and their prescription drug prices are going to be held a lot lower, their healthcare costs are going to be a lot lower, their basic costs for everybody, their energy prices are going to be lower. So to continue to put people in position to be able to make a decent living and grow and grow and increase their capacity to grow. Who's growing? Okay, So the inflation rates since he took office, and this is not food, He's right, acts this is is twenty one that that's using the real number. That's but that's also using what they don't calculate, right, they're not calculating food and the other stuff that we have in there. He's so out of touch and doesn't understand. But let's let's listen to somebody that actually promoted life, liberty, happiness. Oh yes, cut forty, cut forty or forty one. We talk about democracy, American democracy. We often talk about the ideals of life, liberty, pursuit of happiness. We don't talk about is how hard it is, how many ways rass to walk away, how many instincts are to walk away? What most natural instinct is to walk away? That's his great speech at the damn d Day that they're calling a great speech. Yeah, that was him talking about Oh but I did hear him say lifelibaty happiness. It's stupid to the guy out of touch? Really him saying earlier about the blood of liberty. Does he not realize that we actually did have to fight against the tyranny of another government? Yeah, like it just fascinates me. It does, But then it doesn't because we just had this comment when we were off air with Emma that she had no clue who Aersmith is. So why would we think that anybody today would understand what went on during the Revolutionary War, that we actually did have to go up against an oppressive government. Yeah, like, people don't realize that that had to happen. When Ad Sink was in here earlier and he talked about Bedford County. I don't think people understand. If you go to France, Normandy, they absolutely know who the hell Bedford County is. Yeah, it's it's a big deal over there, and it should be a big deal here. Like people should understand how finicky, like if those guys don't storm that beach or we all speak in German? Yeah, yeah, volt, I mean I always wanted that too, Like, you know, we we were not that far away from losing could we have? Could we have been speaking Japanese? Yeah, if we'd lost the Japanese? Do you think we would not have? Why? Why not? You think we would be speaking Japanese if we'd lost World War Two? I guess I guess what I'm saying is when Rome collapsed, right, Yeah, I mean you think things didn't change. We're not speaking Latin there, you go, just in our court systems. Maybe, Oh, speaking of sort systems. Oh wait a minute, we got have we got yeah? We got three minutes? Oh have we got? Uh? Oh, let me give a let me give a plug in real quick to South Boston Speedway. Okay man, what a great, great uh time? It is if you ever get a chance, take your family. I think it's like twelve dollars for a ticket. I mean great entertainment, phenomenal racetrack and unbelievable racing and life liberty, happiness is a sponsor of a card. Now that's cool. Yep, Corey dun Racing were getting like a little sticker next to the headlight. I'm hoping it's bigger than two inches. There's that jar. Oh gosh, hey, yeah, you had mentioned court and man, I didn't talk about what drama was. And I was trying to find clips for the show. And I do it every night. I try to find something to add to the show for a clip. And then I do it when I'm just begging, either watching TV or a sports game or something. And I got hooked on a damn algorithm last night. What Emma, you will know this. There's a guy that's in court, I guess called young thug. Yes, you know about this. Yes, I could not believe the judge. To me, I can't believe the way the judge is acting. Oh so this is was crazy. It's funny you say that I haven't been influenced by anything. He's the only sane person on the in the whole court. I watched clip clip, because, dude, one of my favorite stories in my life is when you used to ride around with Mike Mayberry doing police work and y'all would go to ask somebody something and he would go, I don't know, I didn't see anything. Well, you were right there right listening to these guys in court, and I wanted to play the clip, but it took so long to understand what he was trying to say. But the attorney, the prosecutor, and she's black. It's two black women. The young thug whoever, I don't even know what he is. I guess rapper. He's got a white attorney and I'm just sitting in the stage. I don't care about colors or whatever. And so this guy is acquaintances with people that are in federal prison, and these guys are there to supposedly testify correct against him. I would assume if the prosecutor is asking, has brought him forward. Correct. She asks him, what's your age, sir? He says grown? All right, There's a lot to that to unpack, okay, and I'll try to do it very quickly. With Kevin's coming on she says, grown, what's that in years? And he says, I plead the fifth. I was like our court system, So I feel so sorry for prosecutors, judges, even defense attorneys. They got to just be shaking their head. But it just showed the level of intelligence that we have to deal with, and these people are killing people. I'm assuming. Yeah, it was sad. It's a sad commentary, But dude, I watched clip after clip. I watched an hour of it. I couldn't I couldn't pull away from it. Well, I'll tell you this quickly. So they were that guy was supposed to testify against young thug. That's right, Okay. When he first got on the stand, he just kept saying, I plead the fifth. The problem with that is he was only there because he was offered immunity. Once you're given immunity, you can't do that. Here's the problem. He kept saying it. Whether they told the judge told him that or not. So the judge basically, I think, told them they were going into recess and they would come back the next day. Apparently, the defense is claiming that the prosecution met with the witness and the judge to compel this guy to testify without him being there, which is I don't think it's proper. Yeah, and he was asserting this. Then the judge ends up putting him, puts the attorney in jail. Yes, yeah, because he wouldn't tell him where his source. So this is what I said about the judge to me, if he alleges that and it's not true, you should just say, listen, that's not true, and you know enough of that, don't don't even bring it up again. But to say who's your source and keep saying it, you're only making it worse because you're making it if it's true. And then to tell him that he's going to jail for contempt. But I love what that attorney said. I just want to make sure it's on record. And now my client doesn't have an attorney because you're putting me in jail, so he can't be represented, which is a great case for a mistrial. Well, so what he did was he rethought that, and he says, you're going to jail after hours, okay, so you can come back. And then he said that the attorney's so smart. He said, well, if it's after hours, can I meet with my client? Yeah? So I just got hooked by that. I spent I wasted an hour because I was riveted by the answers. Where Kevin is, huh, I'm efforting? Does he usually call into Emma, Yeah, yep, I got nothing. I told him to call it. I said, we're running behind. Call at six thirty five. He said, okay, maybe his clock is running backwards. He has that issue. But anyway, well that was a good I get hooked on those damn tiktoks. Here's what I can't stand on TikTok man. I hate the people to do it. Do not give me a segment of a video that gets me hooked, and then there is no part two or part three, or don't go to catch a deep water fish, And just before you bring it up, the clip ends, and I will go to your page. I want to see how it went after that clip, and if there's nothing there, I feel like I wasted three minutes of my life waiting to see that damn fish coming out. All right, So we're having technical difficulties. Kevin says he's called twice. He says, can you tell me what I'm supposed to say? Because it keeps not recognizing me. Podcast Calling pod hasn't he done this the last three weeks? Podcast call in? Yes, God, I can't wait that you ask him, Kevin, this is not new. This is week number three. Now. What's funny is what he said. He fixed it? Yeah, well he had fixed it before last week, and it's not working out. He said, I've called twice. Give me the saying again because it's not recognizing me. Well, first off, if it's audible, it may not recognize him. That's a great point. We're doing great today. No we're not. I thought it was a good show. That's a great show. Here we go, finally hanging around like a loose tooth. I thought I was supposed to say, podcast call out. Don't even play his bumper, just put him right into it. Is he? Is he there? Kevin? Is he not? Hello? Is he gone? He's still there? I don't know what he's doing, Kevin. Why do I yell see you? I do this with my cell phone if somebody, if I'm losing signal, I yell, they still can't hear me. If I yell or just say hello. You never catch yourself doing that, Brian, Brian, you never do that when when the signals going bad, like yell louder. Yeah, why did that? I don't know what he's doing. He's probably got his phone on mute. Yeah, Hello, it's like my dad making a post. Should we hang up and try again? I can hear I hear it. Uh, oh, this is on you. No, it's not. I could hear him in the background. Hello. I don't know what he's doing. He broke something? Do you have his mic on? Yeah, he's on. Hello, I can hear him. There was just something in right in the connection. Well, well, everything is just going to double hockey stick to What if he just calls What if he just calls your cell phone and you can that's what I'm put him on speakerphone or just dialing. Just call my phone, for the lord's sakes. This this show is steadily going and it might be me. But yeah, he's not. I don't know what it is. Well, what are we hearing? I can still hear him talking. We hear him. I don't know where he's coming in from. But you know he wants to call in and talk about the Belmont. Oh. Yeah, he already told me that you screwed up because I didn't bet on his back. You didn't text him back. Well, I heard the hang up, but how come we couldn't hear it? That was weird. I could faintly hear him what he needs to come back, but he hasn't taught me those far on technical difficulties. Well, there's no time to learn. It may not be your fault because I told him to call my phone and he's still yet to do that. So this could very well be Carolina Kevin. We're just mm hmm, Well shall we move on? Yeah? But I did text him back. He's calling me again? Oh my god. Look, he should be our heroes. Hello, Hello, Hello, what's wrong with y'all? Podcast? Call in? Just call my phone? It's not working. But he didn't pay the bill. I don't think what he paid the bill. Call Brian's phone, Call Brian's phone? Did he say? Jeez? Who knows? I only have one job and I'm screwing up to hanging around like a loose tooth? Is here a button you're supposed to push? Yeah? And I presstor prestor Yeah? Press damn? Oh here we go am near killer. We're about to get yelled at. An't all right? Can you hear me? Yes? Where's Woody? We could hear you faintly, but I don't know what's going on. We're having some issues with the switchboard. Where's Woody He's in Disney. All right, there's your problem, problems halved, problems off. Why aren't you happy that we finally have a connection. Yes, and where's Trent? Hey, my man? Well here comes We've got half of it together them. Well, why are you upselling me? I'm just glad you're there, thank you? But aren't you upset with true? Well a little bit because I tensed him and told him to bet on the damn horse. Okay, I swear I've gone through my text and I do not see anything other than that after you won screenshot it didn't send it to Brian, don't test me. What was the name of the horse? Door knock? Okay, okay, this is what's crazy. So I'm reading Saturday at six point thirty, I get door knock. So I'm sitting there with Marty because I know she knows Kevin better than I do. I said, what the hell was door knock? And she says, reply back, who's there? I didn't know what he was talking about. You, No, I just said, I said question mark, and then he said, well, Kevin, you have to at least tell him or did he No, he didn't say it to after he said Belmont Trent, good Lord, have mercy on his soul. But I mean, how am I supposed to know with just doorknock what that was? I wasn't. I wasn't at the television. I was enjoying my Saturday sunshine because I thought you would be involved with horse racing since you watched the Kentucky Derby. I thought maybe you were up to date on what's going on at Belmont. But obviously that's not the case. You are correct, And now I do know when you sent door Knock and that he won, that that was your boy from the National's horse. It was Jason Wirth, Jason Wirre's horse. Damn, I didn't know that. Yeah, he won. Well are you both the slack? And so you might need to get up to date on the current situations that's going on in the United States and in the world. All right? So the Kentucky Derby is obviously in Kentucky, Lexington, yep. All right? So where is the Preakness that's in Baltimore and Belmont is New York? Is it Okay, Now, the one in Baltimore almost closed down, didn't it? Yeah? Pretty sure? Trent tay Obrien educate him on the Triple Crown. What is the Triple Races that I know? The Triple we just said. I just I was trying to figure out logistically where these places are. Jamie Campbell, who's one of our loyal listeners, has always wanted to go to the Kentucky Derby because his aunt lives outside the track, and we've never done it. It is something we should do. How am I just learning this? I don't know this. I'm there. If I'd have known this, I would have been with his aunt. Oh right, we should know. I was good friends with his mom. And what the hell is wrong with you restaurant? Oh you're an idiot. I love we Ran, I love the Campbell's fellow. He's y'll both for more up to date on dog Grayson and y'all horse race Now, Kevin, you don't get better than dog racing. Dog Grason is hilariously fun. We're gonna do that again. We absolutely should do dog gracing again. Emma, have you ever done dog racing? Yeah, dude, one of the best times you'll ever have in your lifetime. It's like two dollars to bet on the dog maybe the all guess how much money you would have won betting on two dollars on door knocked the horse race? Oh what were they odds to win? Like fifteen to one? Huh, Well, I'm glad he did it. Yeah, that's cool. Did you have money on your boy, Kyle Larson? No, sir, I did not. Hey, do you know why Iowa only paved part of the track, because all right, some of these race tracks are experimenting, because they're doing all whole lot of different things to try to get racing more excitable. And so when you change, like do you remember the race before? All right, so last week's race the year last year? Do you know the pits were extended three feet where from the wall the inner wall to the wall of the pits where they jump over the wall. But whe're at at every track or just what track? No, Illinois? No, this is Iowa. I mean this is the first year they've gone to Iowa. Since I'm talking about the race before, not not Illinois. I think I know it's from a gateway or some kind. They had to extend it because when you came into the pits. If you were leaving your pit, it was such of a tight bottleneck coming out of your pits, out of your stone. There was not enough room for like three you know how three cars could go abreast right there in the pits. There wasn't enough room, and people was pulling out and they were hitting up against the inner wall there. So they extended it like three or four feet. I think it was okay. So once I got to do with the Iowa's paving, Okay, what I'm saying is is they're going along with reconstructing different race tracks, redoing it to try to get more people to be involved and have racing better. Okay, So I'm fine with that. But why did they only pay half of it because of tire wear? Well, Kevin Harvick says it's because when they started, they couldn't finish in time because the winner was longer in Iowa this year, so they couldn't start. And then once they started, they realized they're never going to be able to finish. That's crazy because they don't just have NASCAR races there, they also have Indie so they had to have it done by a certain time, and they realized they were never going to have the whole track paved, so they just stopped. Wow, what a travesty. Did you know something NASCAR has changed than they had never done before, but they have implemented it into NASCAR race? What's that? Racing tires when it's raining? Oh yeah, I've heard that's coming. Yeah, I could see that coming. I will say this. I think I am going to get the subscription to Flow Racing. Didn't they do that at the Ruffle that they had Brain race? Yeah, they got the windshield wiper on there. Now I do like it. I guess you did see where they're back at the brickyard. They're gonna do real brickyard rightyes, the oval, Yes, yeah, yeah, I'm excited about that. I'm glad too. There's been so many changes, but there's one change that if it ever comes to it, I probably won't watch race anymore. Jeff. That's going to electric cars. Yeah. Yeah, Dana White bought that. Did you see that? Dana White bought the series of formulae? Yes, well it's NASCAR. It's going to be the East NASCAR Series. Really. Yeah, I've heard that they're doing fake sounds so that it sounds like a NASCAR car going around, but it's electric. Yeah. Well, often if they changed going from stock car racing like legitimately engines and gasoline and all that stuff, and they go to an electric car, to me, that's just gonna be over the top of me. Yeah, but it'll be for me. It would be the absolute best thing that could happen because people will stop watching and you'll actually go It'll go back to the places where we love watching race and Martinsville, Richmond. All those tracks will become popular again because people there will always be a series that runs gasoline. That's gonna happen. Yeah, hope, No, I mean, I'm telling you right now, I had no idea how popular short tracks have gotten late. Let's not go okay, years old, when somebody told you you could bottle water and sell it for more than a cocol or a pantacy, you thought they was crazy. That's true. No, No, I agree with you. Except what I'm saying is, dude, if California has their way, they won't be allowed to run all right gas cars. I'm just saying, that's the track we got to watch for this Elections have meanings, Yes it does. But I'm hoping your states. Your Georgia's, your Virginia's. By the way, kudos for yunkin yes, getting us out of the California mandate. Kudos for Trump for now being tied in Virginia with Biden. Yeah, how cool is that? Dude? If we got to pick a red state again, Oh my god. I agree with that. But I'm just so. I guess what I'm saying is I am hooked now on short track racing. In beginning Dale, Junior and Harvick and those guys buying those series now and making those series an emphasis on racing. I think it can only help because as NASCAR continues, like Junior said, shifting Richmond to Mexico next year is just stupid. I understand I'm not going to miss Richmond. I know that, and he brought that point out. You fix Richmond, Yeah, you don't move to Mexico. He understands why they're doing it, because even just one race there is going to get a thousand more eyeballs. I get it. I would say, if you were smart in your NASCAR and you run the Spring Richmond race and you don't do the falling because you're going to run in Mexico. But because it's going to take a year to rebuild. I'm that, yes, but but that's not to lose it. Did you know that Richmond was reconfigurated back and then yeah, maybe it should go back. Yeah, it used to be a was it a half mile trent and they went to three quarters yeah, or they went from a half mile or three quarters to a mile. Yes, you remember they redid it. Yeah, yeah, because it used to have the fair kind of looked like a paper clip, almost looked like Martinsville. And now it's got the d's like the D shape. And even then Richmond used to be packed and had some good racing. But now it's that they just didn't put your money in the track, you know, them switching from going to Mexico. Okay, they've done it in most of your major sporting events. They've done it to baseball, I mean football because you know they have at least four games, and and n fail to go overseas. And now, uh, you have golf that has went to Saudi Arabia for live golf. So and I don't behind it, but to lose it forever, like anate is you have to take from all of this. This is industries trying to venture out, but it always comes back home. And you have to understand that even with the revitalization of Watkins Glenn, I mean down there in North Carolina where they have the all Star rate, Silkesboro, Wilkesboro rocking Him just got balled in. Wilkesboro was grown up. They stopped racing in the nineties. It was literally a I mean, I mean, it was just a fair ground to where yeah, I know, I know what you're getting. When you brought that back and revitalized that, look at what you did to the industry. People flocked and they sell out all the time. Yes, but what are they selling out? The NASCAR race doesn't keep that track open. It's it's the cars tour that's there. Now, it's the other That's what I'm saying. Those are becoming way more popular, and that's helping NASCAR because those are the people that are eventually getting to NASCAR. Because we went through a period of time, Trent, you gotta admit this, we had no freaking clue who these people were that came to the Infinity Series. There's a group that came through there that we were like, these ain't racers, Like who are these guys? If I can start a petition speaking of Mexico to not have Daniel Suarez ever do a game, I mean, ever do a race in the froth. Dude, I don't want to listen to someone I cannot understand. Why can I Why can they not understand that? Don't get listen, I don't. I'm all for trying to be fair and let someone else, but at least have the guy know the language that makes it audible. I mean, I like Daniel Suarez, but I don't want to listen to him do a race. It is it is you can't tell what he's trying to say, and it's like it's painful. Yes, it's like the guy on baseball that they keep trying to put out there, Perez awful man. Yeah, I mean you and I one of our favorites is Sergio Perez. Right, Yeah, don't want to hear it. Do not let him do a race? Now that just stopped. Yeah, I'm not. I mean, come on your audience, listen. I wouldn't even mind if he spoke Spanish. Atleast somebody would understanding. Correct. They have to, you know, maybe you bring the Mexican group in and listen to NASCAR race put them on the Latina channel. Correct, but man, oh I try to watch the Exfanity race and it was hard. I heard after Mexico they plan on going to Canada. Uh. Nascar, Yeah, I guess what bothers me the most about NASCAR is you're moving Richmond. And that's fine, I guess, losing one race, but when you still have flat New Loudon and Pocono, yeah, I mean those are dreadful. Yeah, I agree. Michigan is boring. Yeah, sorry, and I would watch it. They're talking about having any cars back there again. I would watch that. Yeah. Yeah. So anyway, Kevin, favorite favorite baseball memory? Do you have a favorite baseball memory that was our top ten today? Yes? What is it? Nineteen eighty five? Nineteen eighty five and Cardinals, No, Brian Braves, the Mets coming to Lynchburg, the White Kitchen, and they had a concert and they had they had the Dukes and hazard guysh you came singing the concert we got and stuff made in the very back of the altfield. Yes. Oh, they had Darryl Strawberry, the White Good flew in on a helicopter and uh, they had Mookie Wilson. Yeah, laid the Lynchburg mints. And who was the guy that cheered tobacco? Yeah, then laid it out? Yeap got one of his jerseys. Yeah. Okay, so that is my top one because cause we got to experience that that's never happened before. Yeah. I got a trivia question for you. Brian and Kevin might know the answer to this. I watched race Hub last night, he says, going away. They do a retro series where they show old races. Eineteen eight Daytona five hundred. Remember who won that? Yes, I do, we were there, We were there. Who won it? Dart sr Yep. Here's the trivia. Who dropped the green flag at that race to start the race? Here's a question you won't know the answer to, but you'll know the guy unlike you asking me a question and I don't know. No, I think it was Ronald Reagan. No, Dan Marino. Yeah, so I watched. We watched that last night, and I did not remember that he was the flag bird. Trent. Didn't Ronald Reagan come to the dayton of five hundred? He did the eighty four? I think it was the Firecracker. Yeah, I believe ye. When Richard Petty won his two hundred race, I believe. Yeah, I think those July fourth, and I think he actually went around the oval in a limousine or something that was Trump, Yeah, Trump, think it was Trump whatever that. Hey, what was the crowd like at Charlotte when Trump? I'm assuming they showed him at some point in time, right, Yeah, he he actually flew in because you know that you have Charlotte Douglas International Airport and then you have an airport in Concord. Correct, the airport and Concorder is right behind the track, that's right. Yeah, So when Trump flew in, he flew over the stadium, the plane tilted kind of like waving at you. The crowd went wild, and then when he landed, they he came in on a helicopter. And then thereafter is when KYLEL. Larson came in on a helicopter. So Trump came in on a helicopter once he landed at Concord his plane, and then they came in and it was this is what really makes me mad, because you have social media and you have the media that manipulates everything. When I say manipulates. To watch it on TV, they only showed two segments of him there, but to actually see what was happening. He walked up and down the pits with Richard Childress. He was signing autographs. The crowd was going wild. His plane flew over, the helicopter came in. It was a whole lot more. They showed one point two percent of what was actually happening in Charlotte instead of one hundred percent because they did not want nobody to know, of course, that many people was there and how the crowd reacted. Yeah, all right, well, good segment this week. You got any plans coming up this week weekend? Well, of course, you all know Trent Vacation tell Sarge, Happy Father's Day to you, to Brian I, Father's Day to me, Happy Falls Day for Richard Sliding Heaven, Happy Father's Day to all the other fathers out there. Because you know, there's one thing that I saw the other day that would really really benefit a lot of the fathers out there, and that it's not going to get in your daddy a tie socks or golf clubs or whatever, but get what's called Daddy's Stories. It's a book and you're able to write down in that book stories of just like we're talking about on this podcast of memories that we've done and things that we've accomplished. It's kind of like a journal type deal, but it's a book and you can write down so when something does happen and you're long and gone, your kids can benefit from looking in saying hey, you know this is a story and to doubt, no, we're not. Don't hang up on me. Just remember without your you don't like to hear these sentimental things. You would shine away from it. But you're over on time. Well you was over on time, and text me with it. We're over on time, and tell me to not call in. It's not Brother's Day. That's the best thing that you can somebody give you for Father's Day is get that book. Fill it down because your kids will benefit from it, in your grand kids when you're dead and gone. I'm not a big Father's Day guy. I don't need it for me. And the word of the day is wooden chair, wooden chair. Yeah. The first time I met Trimp, he hit all this beer and I'm like, hey, Trent, can I get a beer for me? He wouldn't even chair. All right, man, we've had a challenge today. We got am mad at us. Kevin's our guest is calling trying to figure out how to listen to the show it went. I think Jeremy Sink was the highlight, right, that was the peak, and then it all went downhill from there. Yep, shout out to Tyler if you're listening Tyler for now. I should have told him what my favorite driver was so you could say shout out to. Yeah. I won't even know who I picked now, Ross Chastain, I guess, yeah, that kind of rude. I don't know. I just I like I was, I almost like everybody. And then there's a couple of people I don't want to watch. When the show will be available? What hour from now? Listen to an hour? Yeah, that was the end of show. But the only way people can listen is through the app. Right, there is no other app platform. I listened to the A Yeah, I'm pretty sure you can listen on listen to it on Spotify. Yeah, I listened Spotify. Oh yeah, that's where I Yeah, Spotify, I go. I don't go gros Street up him all the time. I know I'm supposed to, and I do when I think about it. I just like the fast forward button and he doesn't have it on there, So am I working on that before you leave? Fixed that on days sight? All right, two days ago? Do you do we need something at the end because it's five minutes. I don't want to keep her, she doesn't want to do it. But it was doctor Phil's thing. Oh that's great. Yeah, it's a it's a five minute spiel. It's not too long, but it's doctor Phil talking about how to fix this country. And I was like, man, that's not what I never thought about him being conservative, and I don't. I think he says he's not. It's just we got to get back to honesty. I think a lot of people are like that, right, remember the woke stuff that was just over the top. Let's not to say it's still not here, but we went through a period and then eventually you had the Chappelle's and the people go all right, look this is stupid. Yeah, we're losing our minds here over stupid stuff. And I think that's what you're finally seeing now, Like who was the the guy who said, you know, we had four years of Trump in the world didn't go to crap. It actually was pretty good. So you know, these people that are just saying it's dangerous, it's stupid, it's absolutely and I'm so sick and tired if I hit one more person. Say he doesn't plan on leaving office. Oh God, okay, idiot. He ain't gonna be here for very long. He ain't living to be one hundred. I don't think right. It'll be crapping his pants in five years. They just make up. It's just so stupid, just lies, I mean, honestly, but this is doctor Phil talking about how things should be. We'll see you next week. We need our Justice Department to return to the business of metting out justice and not running the political agendas of those currently in power, blindly seeking convictions warranted or otherwise, and attacking political opponents. We are not some banana republic, for God's sakes. What are we going to do next? Have a putin poisoning posse and start finding political opponents foaming at the mouth at home, not so mysteriously dying in their lazy boy recliners. We're better than that. It must be better than that. I don't like what I see happening in our country. This kind of thing is exactly why I launched Marriage Street Media and wrote We've got issues. I don't like seeing the weaponization of our justice system, agencies and powerful government actions at frankly just make my skin crawl for all of us and for my grandchildren. And let's be honest, this is so not just about Trump. If you let your hatred for Donald Trump compromise your ability to find true north on your moral compass, shame on you. If you let you discuss for Biden make you blind to the inevitable consequences of pursuing revenge, then God help the children who will inherit the dystopian nightmare we create. We need leaders who will pledge to end this vicious cycle right now and return us to that safe place where our institutions are no longer bastardized and weaponized, but rather simply serve their intended purpose. We have serious probleroblems to solve, and it will take serious people to solve them. Men and women who we hold accountable for doing that which they were selected or hired to do. They need to know we are watching, and their positions or privileges not legacies, they work for us until they don't. I'm not into politics. I claim no expertise, nor do I seek any I don't advocate voting for one candidate over another. I stay in my lane addressing human behavior collectively, culturally, and am focused on how we can have maximum control in our lives and turn this ship of state called America in the right direction and get her back on track so we can be proud. That's my mission. And this is a call to action to save our collective soul and sanity. This is also a call to redemption, healing, and forgiveness that leads to peace among us all, which is the most important gift we can share in our dangerous world. The current administration could and should do the right things missed now, even now post conviction of a political opponent, all such law fair and pledged to return to the normal functioning of a government rightly run. God bless you all, and God bless these United States of America.
