Speaker 1 (00:04):
Let me know when you're ready.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
I bet that's a good start.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
This is Tanner, Drew and Laura's Donkey Shown.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
What's Up Kids? Thanks for checking out Tanner, Drew and
Laura's Donkey Show podcast. Uh yeaight? Heard online on one
of five nine, the brew dot Com, the iHeartRadio, WIF
or wherever you listen to podcasts. Yeah, Tanner Drew's here,
Laura's here, bus dress, and Marcus is here. Court should
be joining us in a few minutes. But before he
gets here, Marcus, I'm assuming you got your bracket in
(00:37):
if you're If you're listening to this one, recorded on Thursday,
March twentieth, you need to have your bracket in a
little over an hour ago.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Yep. We're fresh in the tourney.
Speaker 5 (00:45):
It's about halftime of the first game, so it's starting
to come up here.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Marcus, I'm assuming you got your sin right.
Speaker 6 (00:52):
Oh yeah, yep, got one for work in. Pretty excited
about it. To be honest with you, I don't know
if I'm gonna win. I never really do. But it's
always fun, man. Everybody's got a chance. That's the one
thing I love about March Madness is you can know
absolutely nothing, and it's so hard to pick a perfect
bracket that you can win. I mean, I've seen it
happen before where people picked based on uniforms and won
(01:14):
the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Marcus Laura's doing it based on mascots. Do you think
anyone will ever get a perfect bracket? Do you think
it'll ever happen ever? In our lifetimes? I guess, But
ever after that, if it doesn't happen in our lifetimes,
do you think it will ever happen?
Speaker 6 (01:31):
The thing is is like it's all a numbers game,
and I feel like with as popular as this has gotten,
you know, you like maybe Drew can speak to this too.
If you rewind fifteen years, it wasn't hard to get
ten or fifteen people in a bracket pool within the office. Nowadays,
like the one that I'm doing for one of my
things at work is like fifty sixty, seventy people are
(01:52):
involved in this thing. And if that's happening in every
office all around the world, I would think the numbers
would just say sooner or later, yeah, you're gonna get
enough people in the pool. Somebody's gonna blindly back into
a perfect one. But I don't know if we'll see
it for twenty years. I mean, it hasn't happened yet.
Speaker 7 (02:08):
I'm kind of surprised, and I know that odds are outlandish,
but I'm kind of surprised that it's never happened ever.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
Well, there's one main reason why, and that is because
even though it seems probable right that you in the
first round you get thirty two correct and the second
round you happen to get sixteen correct, the odds of
the perfect on perfect on, perfect on perfect round by
round becomes so exponential that your chances of winning the
(02:37):
lottery are one hundred to one thousandfold more likely than
you to get a perfect bracket. Are you ready for
your odds of getting a perfect bracket?
Speaker 1 (02:47):
So he's been winning the lottery is what one three
hundred and fifty million or something, Yeah, one in three
hundred million or something like that like that. Let me
just give you an official thing. What your chances of
winning the lottery are? What?
Speaker 7 (03:00):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (03:01):
One and four? So I don't know if.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
That's just like I would say.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Like powerball, powerball, jackpots.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Jackpot, Yeah, uh.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Because the lottery is like one in four, baby, What
are your chances of winning the powerball jackpots.
Speaker 8 (03:17):
Yeah, one and two point nine to two million.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Yeah, two hundred ninety two point two million, So yeah,
close to three hundred million to one for you to
hit that.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
That sounds like straight up pie in a park compared
to your chances of winning a perfect bracket one in
nine point two quintillion, what yes's crazy?
Speaker 7 (03:39):
I mean, I guess that's true with the power points,
like you just lucky guess six numbers and that's hard
enough as it is.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Between one and sixty.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
Now, the best anyone has ever done is in twenty nineteen,
oh an Ohio man predicted forty nine out of sixty
three games.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
That's pretty good, which is pretty good.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
I mean that's getting fourteen wrong threat the whole thing,
and still so far from a perfect bracket.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Now, I would love.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
To see it.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
I think it would be wid it ever happens. If
they have to make a movie about that, right, that's
got to be a movie.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Well, they they they lost its clickability when when Warren
Buffett stopped even offering the billion dollars, because like, this
is stupid clickbait at this point, because of the quintillion.
Speaker 7 (04:26):
I'm wondering with like the AI and like chat GPT
now in the world, I wonder could help you predict.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yeah, if there's going to be more.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
I bet people used to. I bet you people use
chat totally.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
The problem though, and I thought about this too yesterday
when I was filling it out, like whether you just
asked that thing.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
It's going to bank so much on ranking.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Yeah, and see, and I'm just gonna look at numbers
and not necessarily the spirit of a player or exactly
because the drive of a team.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
What's gonna happen today or tomorrow is there's going to
be like a five foot nine, chubby white kid who
care not miss three pointers.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Who plays for like Upper left Crust.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
University right, which you could never predict.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
You'll hear about him during March Madness and the he'll
disappear forever. He'll be an accountant.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
But in the meantime he is going to just trounce
all over half of our brackets and then fall out
in the sweet sixteen, but not before he ruins your
dead go terriers.
Speaker 6 (05:20):
What's so funny about this to me is you know
you talk about that guy from Ohio drew that what'd
you say he got forty three out of sixty.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
Nine out of sixty three.
Speaker 6 (05:30):
Forty nine out of sixty three. Correct, that's amazing. And
you know, Tanner, you said we got to make a
movie about it. If somebody gets one perfect, that's the
difference in the respect that you get here. I have
the utmost respect for whoever finally backs into the perfect bracket,
and I would watch that movie. I don't even want
to listen to a fucking podcast episode about the guy
(05:51):
that gots forty nine out of sixty three.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
I don't care.
Speaker 8 (05:54):
Like that's not even close enough to make it matter
to me.
Speaker 6 (05:57):
Yeah, And I think that just goes to show you
how wildly just outlandish these odds are like that, thinking
about it, the way that Drew talked about it, perfect
on perfect, on perfect on perfect, and how it continues
to be exponentially hard to do. I don't know, man.
I mean, I think my best ever, I think I
(06:18):
got out of the thirty two games. I think I
was right twenty nine times. One year I was dead.
I was dead last in that tournament. I remember thinking
after the first round, nobody can catch me, and after
the second round I never saw anything other than last place.
Speaker 8 (06:35):
I mean, is why this is so fun.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
It's such a good idea for a movie that I
told these guys this the other day. I bought Final Draft,
the program to write this movie five years ago. But
I got about ten pages in and I was like,
I feel how far fetched is.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
I feel like you gotta wait till it actually happens
and you can write the story or at least comes
close so that it's like, okay, well that is plausible.
But the idea of like a slum Dog millionaire where
your ants are the movie, Like, the reason you pick
Warford to win a game is because you happen to
break down into town where you saw a game on
a local television where this little chubby kid keeps on
(07:10):
in threes. So like, it's not just the pick.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
It's all about so a guy like you who doesn't
really care about where the ball falls.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
But wants to see the moment.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
And I do like the storylines. Yeah, I like to
see the underdogs win. Obviously so do I.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
And that's the thing that sucks about your bracket is
as your bracket is dying, the very thing that you
love about sports is happening. You know, they like the
very fact that they just ruined my chance at all.
This money is why they're so awesome right.
Speaker 7 (07:39):
Now as we speak, and obviously it's the first half,
but those Cinderella stories. Perdue, four seeded Purdue is only
two points ahead of thirteen seed high Point, Like, who
the hell is high Point?
Speaker 2 (07:52):
And they actually have a chance at winning this game.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
And that will thunder.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
I mean, and you got to think Perdue last year
played in the champ tip games. So how many people
who don't watch this sport until March Madness went?
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Oh Purdue, I remember Purdue.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
They're pretty good.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
They got to the championship game and you lose to
a thirteen or whatever, Cory.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
I mean, there's a lot of time left on this game.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Cor just walked in and I see you nodding your head.
Speaker 9 (08:14):
Yeah no, I mean that that's the best part of
all of the the n C DOUAA games is the
is the upsets. That's what you're that's what you watch
for because if it.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Was you want to see an awkward looking guy cry on.
Oh yeah, of course, I mean.
Speaker 9 (08:26):
That's the that's the that's the best story is like.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
I remember looking college kid.
Speaker 9 (08:30):
Of course it was a couple of years ago.
Speaker 6 (08:33):
You could just say you want to see a guy
with gigantism cry Tanner, you can just say, but yeah.
Speaker 9 (08:38):
I mean there's there's a few years ago where it
was like this the school that kind of came out
of nowhere, and then they had the the nun that
was praying for them or whatever time. I forget what school.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
Was the old nun every year that comes and roots
a mine.
Speaker 9 (08:53):
Right, and she has since passed away, but like that,
that was that was the story is like this, this
woman is kind of propelling them through the tournament. They
didn't end up winning, but they got pretty the way
deeper into the tournament than they should have.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
I think they got to like an elite eight one year.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
And the cool thing about this old nun is and
this is what's different about college basketball than anything else.
She would handwrite each player a motivational letter before each game.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
So she'd be like, Brian, I love your tenacity and
this and that and the other and.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
And that loves you. They were personal things, not just
some generic line share.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
Yeah, like a letter from your own grandma. So they
held her up in a.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Circle defense dufus. Disappointment leaks through. If you're you're that old,
your filter isn't all there anymore. So you tell them
work on your hands, praying over these bastards for thirty years, like,
oh my god, how much do I need to do? Well,
that's cool, man. So, cor did you play any bets
or did you join the office pool pool.
Speaker 9 (09:47):
I've done the brackets in the past, and it's the
same thing where like, uh, I think it was last
year of the year before, like I was going coming
out of around one, I was killing it. I was like,
I think I was in the lead in this one bracket,
and then by the next round, I was dead last.
Like everything had just fallen apart.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
So it's easy for that to happen, like it falls
apart so quickly.
Speaker 9 (10:08):
Yeah, so I don't even bother because.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
It's I'll tell you. If the guy who's running it
the workpool sends another email about it, I'm gonna kill myself.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
He promised the last one was the final one.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
It's like every day he's getting two or three emails
about March Madison.
Speaker 8 (10:21):
Did you.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
I don't know anything defensive him for how many people
were like invited to it. It was such a light
number that it was going to ruin the poll. So
I see why he did it is a little annoying.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
And also, you know, it's when you're a bookie or
whatever you.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Want to call that, a work bookie, you gotta shake.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Yeah, you gotta shake the tree. You gotta you're hurting cats.
Speaker 8 (10:39):
So I get it.
Speaker 9 (10:40):
Well, there's there's so many people doing them as well,
because I think I got invited to three of them
right now.
Speaker 7 (10:46):
Yeah, I mean, well I'm only in one, but I
bought two in our bracket.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Okay, I see, I see.
Speaker 9 (10:51):
Yeah, there's one in Seattle that I was invited to,
the one here in Portland, and there's like a company
wide one where if you win, you could win some
free research. So that search.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
State like radio station research like gus.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
I guess, I mean, I guess that's better like merch.
It's like you can win.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Company And thanks for not joining the bracket that would
have gotten us the free research. By the way, whatever
that somebody is going to turn into a wood polisher.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
It's a Washrag's gonna smell like pledge from cleaning it. U.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Well, Marcus, what about you? Did you play Cydney Batts?
How much money you got on the line.
Speaker 6 (11:37):
I don't have any money on the line this time there,
I am competing for money in one of the bracket
pools that I'm in, but if I win it, because
I'm the host of the show that's putting it on,
I will be giving it away to somebody else. So
nothing on the line for me other than bragging rights,
but also being in that, you know, it's kind of
the the host of the tournament.
Speaker 8 (11:57):
That's a lot of fun for me.
Speaker 6 (11:58):
Like there's some cool things that I get to do
on the podcast that I host with some of the
drivers or some of the people I work with, you know,
Like we we record two weeks in advance, so I
thought it would be cool actually this week to get
a guy on and talk about our picks because they
won't hear it for two weeks, so we're gonna sound
like complete idiots.
Speaker 9 (12:15):
And I love that.
Speaker 6 (12:16):
About it, Like it's so one thing that sports pundits
never have to do. They get to they get to
throw all these takes at you like they're right, and
when they're dead wrong, nobody ever comes back and says like, yeah,
sorry about that. So it's kind of something that we
get to do this week.
Speaker 8 (12:31):
It'll be, uh, it'll be.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
I think I saw Kevin Hart on with Stephen A.
Smith once and he goes, nobody is wrong more than
you are and comes on the air so confidently about yeah,
that's all it is.
Speaker 7 (12:40):
But it's it's like being a meteorologist. It's like the
one job where you can be wrong seventy five percent
of the time.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
They never say a job. They never say sorry about yesterday. Yeah,
don't always moving forward about all that didn't break, the
hailstorm that just rocked us in the middle afternoon. Yeah,
it's gonna be great to be a weatherman and like reno.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Oh yeah, and to say and more of the same.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Right, yeah, Vegas again.
Speaker 8 (13:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
I can't imagine that being very very important.
Speaker 7 (13:05):
It would be so bored there because like I feel
like if I were a weather man, which which I
did consider becoming a meteorologist for a very brief period
of time, because I wanted to stand in front of
the green screen.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
I thought, using a little clicker, I could see you
doing that.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
It's a job that's being eliminated slowly.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
With AI and everything else.
Speaker 7 (13:22):
But I feel like I would be one of those
storm chaser meteorologists, like I want to see.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Yeah, like you have the same thing every day.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
That's bored. And now we cut to Laura, whose sideways
right now hit with.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Styro from like Anderson Cooper.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
Yeah, she's swimming on the street.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
I think it would be pretty It's pretty serious out here.
The water's getting pretty about five feet deep if I
were to guess.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Especially if you're working for a major network like CNN,
like they take care of you behind a camera. They're security.
It doesn'tial they are safe. They might look like they're
in danger, but they're not in a shitty area. Like
there's a chance.
Speaker 7 (14:00):
Dson Cooper's out there getting smashed by debris because he
wants to they like.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
I like when I remember hearing them when Andy and
Anderson were doing the New Year's Eve thing. They were
talking it because it was one year, not this previous year,
but the year before that. It was like fucking iced over.
Everything was like it was like negative something. And they
all had heated coats, heated gloves. Heck yeah, all provided
by the Turner Broadcasting copyp.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
Why didn't they name it Andyson New Year's.
Speaker 7 (14:27):
Happy and everybody, you.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
Guys remember that time that Al Roker almost got blown
away standing on like the porch of a resort or something.
Speaker 8 (14:35):
I remember I was looking at this. Yeah, well, it's
like the wind got.
Speaker 6 (14:38):
So heavy that they cut the They cut the broadcast,
and I think they shared a video like kind of
a behind the scenes video later, And what you see
is it's funny because he's just standing there with the
background and you see the storm. When you see the
wide shot, what you understand is he's standing on the
porch of like a five star resort while around it
just gets battered.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
And ye, sorry about your luck, you guys.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Yeah, they really put the cameras in spots where it
looks like they're in the ship, but they're like on
the balcony of a hotel.
Speaker 8 (15:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (15:07):
I don't understand why they send them out there in
the first place.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Like, you can, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 8 (15:11):
You can.
Speaker 9 (15:11):
You can pretty much cover it with like whatever your
webcams or whatever out there. You can see how fast
the wind is blowing. You don't need to stick somebody
out there to get blown over it.
Speaker 8 (15:21):
That I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Contra I mean, if you're making two point five million
a year, I suppose you do what your.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Added value there.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
Now here's the question. Was Roker before or after gastric bypass.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Because it's not it's not fair.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
To judge him because he used to be able to
just stand there and wear wind. Now he's slightly lighter
and he doesn't have the base for it.
Speaker 8 (15:43):
I think this was pre opt to be honest.
Speaker 9 (15:46):
I think that's a.
Speaker 8 (15:47):
Big roker getting pushed.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Around before he pooped his pants at the white That's
a category five poop my pants and poop my pants.
So yeah, I remember seeing video. I want to I
want to Roki Doki again my head, I picture Al
Roker just bloated on his back straight like a board,
but I don't I'm sure I don't think that was
the case.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
But he rolled down a set of stairs.
Speaker 9 (16:12):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
But when it comes, when it comes to these predictors, though,
they never have to be held accountable. Like just back
to the sports thing for a second. Like as soon
as TikTok had its first big year where NFL in
college was out and everybody's got a page where they
predict games and we do the games the best.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
So I started watching this.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
Guy who it was on a hot streak, and I'm
thinking gambling comes full circle, right, Like you can't just
keep winning when you gamble, you will lose. And so
I watched the guy go from like this hot take
where he's gaining followers to just a colossal collapse where
week after week it was just his head in his hands,
like at a stadium as he was losing his entire
(16:50):
kitty and all of his profits. So be careful who
you listen to just because they have a high definition
camera and a fucking ring light.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
It's not sustainable.
Speaker 9 (16:59):
Yeah, it's like Jim Kramer on whatever cs sm MS
with that one. Yeah, he like he has he is
wrong so often.
Speaker 8 (17:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (17:08):
I mean he shouts, he hits his little sound effects buttons,
bye bye bye bye, and then like things crater and
he never's like well sorry everybody.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
He just like he's been on TV for like twenty
thirty years or whatever. Right, he just leans in and
somehow does he still does he still bash it with
the hammer, and that was great. There was a time
where he was like lapstick. He was like he was
like a gallaghery just smashing and then you have a
big soundboard of big red buttons and he would just
hit it and a cow would play.
Speaker 9 (17:34):
Exactly yeah right, and he was wrong. So I mean
that's that's the thing with like the socker market too.
He basically is just gambling. He's just gambling with like
with with with a tie on, but it's it's the
same idea and and there he is like giving you predictions,
just like Steven A. Smith or whoever, like if you
say it confidently enough, people were like, Okay, well he
said it so clearly I'm gonna do I'm.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Gonna buy it.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
You'll never see Kramer stop down and be like, I'm
gonna be honest.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
We've had a bad two weeks.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
It's bad for ratings.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
So they just stay as they stay as confident as possible.
Stephen A talks out of his ass a lot, but
he's very confident.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
A lot of those people at home watching don't know
about ship. So yeah, they just just stay confident, keep
moving forward.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
That's right.
Speaker 7 (18:17):
Is that guy the weed guy, which one Stephen whatever
his name is Smith.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
He's the big mouth on ESPN, but he's.
Speaker 7 (18:26):
The who's the guy who who like doesn't want athletes
to be smoking weed.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
I don't know, it sounds like something Stephen A. Smith
would say.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
I could see him just trying to be polarizing.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
I like Steven Smith because he is that way, you know,
I can. I like that he's so outspoken and he's
unapologetic about it.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Oh yeah, he is. Stay off the weed.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
I mean, that's a dumb comment, but listen, I think
it's I think it's better than taking a handful of pills, Stephen,
you take a handful of pills. But I like people
like that. I like people like Cowherd who are just
I don't even like sports, and I love listening to
these guys because they're animated and they give their opinions,
which stirs the pot.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
And ESPN anymore is theater. It's not so much sports
casting anymore. It's like, Okay, I'm gonna say that I'm
anti weed, and then you're gonna yell at me about
the pills.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
Okay, Right, when we come back from commercial, it's gonna rock.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
And guess what, everybody watches it because it's polarizing, which
is fine. It's just like a lot of news now,
there's a lot of pomp and circumstance.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Yes, shock value as opposed to fact. What's really important?
Speaker 6 (19:28):
Yeah, well, good luck is with the storyline going on
here that I feel like it get's been getting ignored
a lot. And that is what's going on with Doug Gottlieb.
You know another sports caster, a guy that has been
involved in college basketball for a long time. He actually
got a job coaching the University of Wisconsin Green Bay
(19:49):
this last year, and you know, kind of you talked
a little bit of a big game before he went on,
not not like, oh, we're gonna go out and win titles,
but you know, confident coach type speak on his own
radio show. They won one game this year, and it's
like there's been these these passes of him getting just
ship on, but it only happens for like a second,
(20:11):
and somehow he makes it go away magically. I feel
like this should have been the lead storyline for the
entire season, Like this guy, he's on his own radio
show and nobody's calling up to talk ship to him about.
Speaker 8 (20:22):
How bad of a basketball coach.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Screened.
Speaker 6 (20:28):
Yes he's and and he is like this is the
guy that And I'm not a I'm not really a
fan or a detractor of Doug Gottlieb. He's always just
been kind of down the middle to me. But one
thing about him is you kind of feel like you're
getting talked down to by Doug Gottlieb when he's talking
about basketball. He's always liked pretentious and and you know what,
(20:50):
what we would say, what the fans would say was yeah,
I'd love to see you put on a whistle and
see you coach a team.
Speaker 8 (20:55):
Well, it happened, and he won one fucking game.
Speaker 6 (20:59):
Like should be a movie. This put Will Ferrell in
this movie. I would love to see.
Speaker 5 (21:03):
Well, there's two things keeping this from being a major headline.
First of all, Doug Gottlieb is a second tier sports announcer,
whereas in if this was Dan Patrick or or Colin Cowherd,
this would be another level. And it's also the University
of Wisconsin Green Bay, which ninety eight percent of Americans
could not point to on a map.
Speaker 7 (21:23):
But I mean truthfully that, I mean it's fair though,
I mean, one, how many games does a basketball team
play in anything?
Speaker 5 (21:31):
You're probably playing forty games, which is you win one
out of those.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
Yes, he's pretty trash.
Speaker 6 (21:36):
Well, and you did mention Colin Cowherd and say that
Doug Gottlieb was a second tier guy. But Doug Gottlieb
show competes directly in the same time slot nationally syndicated
with Colin Cowhard. So it's a pretty big deal. I mean,
he's nationally syndicated Fox Sports Radio if I'm not mistaken,
or maybe CBS so it again, you're right, he's protected
(21:58):
from all angles, Like you can see that for sure.
I guarantee you that the the media company works for
probably keeps a pretty big bubble around him. But man,
I felt like that should have been a bigger story.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
M Well, Doug Gottlieb's nose is a big story's looking
like Adrian Brody.
Speaker 8 (22:15):
That's the first thing that walks in the room, no question.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Well, good luck on everyone's bets, and you know, maybe
that will become a big story later. Who knows. But
Laura is back today from being sick yesterday. She's back.
Speaker 9 (22:28):
I'm barfriend or what were you doing?
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:34):
I dry heaved a bit in the shower yesterday morning.
When I was I was like, I can rally, it's fine.
Speaker 7 (22:39):
I got I got body agches, I got the chills.
But the dry heaving in the shower was when I
was like, it's probably just.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Like not that's usually for me. When I felt like,
because that's usually where it turns you around, and if
you start going south in the shower the day's done,
Like I'll feel kind of nauseous and then I'll get
in the shower and then I'll feel better.
Speaker 7 (22:57):
Use.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Yeah, in my mind, I'm like, all right, I'm going
to take a shower and I'm.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Gonna feel better because and when you don't, that's you
probably did make the right decision. You know, we don't come,
you know, grumpy us, and.
Speaker 5 (23:06):
You've you've got a pile of sick days which none
of us ever used.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
That's somebody too.
Speaker 7 (23:11):
I was like, I was like, man, I really hate
calling off work, and then I was I know, I
I never do it like I have. Actually, since I've
been here, I've called off sick probably more than ever.
And I've only called called off sick twice. I don't
think I've ever taken a sick day outside of like
this job.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
Well we're nauseato.
Speaker 7 (23:29):
Yeah, sometimes you need the time, but it's one of
those things where it's like you can take a day,
it's fine, but the world's not going to stop.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
When I take a day off for being sick. The
guilt that washes over me that day and I just
feel like a piece of shit, you know, like Oh,
I just let people down. And you know, I just
stayed in my pajamas. I just felt like that I
was such a loser.
Speaker 7 (23:49):
I felt like that when I was programming because I
felt like there was more to do. But with this job,
I feel less pressure to like go, go, go and
get stuff done.
Speaker 5 (23:59):
There's times when you're feeling sick, like obviously it happens
quite a bit, especially when you get up when we do.
But a lot of times and you're is a different
scenario yesterday, But a lot of times, a couple advil,
one type of anti histamine, and a hot shower to
get that out of your nose. If it doesn't go
into your throat and make you puke, you can normally
(24:19):
rally and come to work.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Yeah, and usually that's what I would do.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
Like even at like sixty five percent with no fever,
I'm sitting right here.
Speaker 8 (24:26):
You know.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
That's that's just kind of the part of the course.
In a pre COVID world, thirty.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
Five percent, I'm still sitting here.
Speaker 9 (24:33):
Well, I'm just glad you're back, and uh, don't let
it happen again or you're fired, No.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Problem, got you.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
It's funny.
Speaker 5 (24:40):
I court's got a lot of remorse. It's like, yeah,
I don't know if I've got the flu. He waits
two hours. He's like, what's the answer.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
You come in the gas?
Speaker 2 (24:47):
No, you got shingles.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
He's not really sensitive about it, like, hey, how do
you feel? You're all right? Are you diseased? I need
to know now right are you? Are you dying? Are
you good? The quote was are you diseased?
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Like ten, boss, no, I'll what are you?
Speaker 9 (25:01):
What do you I can get you replaced right now.
I mean immediately he.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Was training a sales lady. What did you end up
doing yesterday? Lord? Did you work at all? As you just?
Speaker 7 (25:08):
I did work because I still had to, And I
would have sent an email to Colorado Springs and been like,
I'm not doing the show today.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
But of course, out of any week of the year,
I had.
Speaker 7 (25:19):
A giveaway this week, which usually I don't have because
I'm not the live body in the building. But this
was wrapped up up until in like a like a
sales thing, so I had to do it. And I
was like, I can I can sit at my little
stool at home and knock this out.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
So the technology little bit we can we can do
our our broadcasts from our houses. Now, as long as
you got the good equipment, the right equipment, it will
sound good. It sounds like you're at the studio.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I don't know if
it sounded good, but I got it done.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
We kept we kept Podner up all morning.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Nothing there, you there, hello or anyone, Bueller or anyone.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Okay, that's how we talked to court sometimes. So most
of the time, Jesus all of COVID, we didn't see
you were you work from home?
Speaker 9 (26:00):
We have they had you on the show from here.
They told it not to come in. So yeah, I
just I just.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Did it, like all right done.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
And actually you've said you like working from home better.
Speaker 9 (26:10):
Way, way more just because I can get I can
actually get stuff done. I don't like. I actually start
working earlier. I'm more productive because I don't have to
drive anywhere. I don't have to spend an hour in traffic.
I don't have to, you know. So it's it's just
nicer in general. And I can just do it in
my sweats.
Speaker 5 (26:26):
So and the fact that we don't commute like you
do is a big factor too, you know. But for me,
like the process of coming here is almost like putting
on your arm or putting on your fire suit before
you go do your job.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
You know, it's like.
Speaker 5 (26:39):
That process to getting to this door and opening it
up and being ready. I just don't know if I'd
be ready like I am when I'm here and my
kids would be there, And that's a problem.
Speaker 9 (26:51):
That is. The only downside is if there are any
if there's anybody in the house, then it feels weird
because I'm trying to do, you know, doing my thing.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
I feel weird when we do when we do the
show and here and the doors open. Yeah, right, well,
I like people in the hallway here, but like thousands
of people are listening. I don't care. I don't want
the guy going to the bathroom to hear what we're doing.
Speaker 5 (27:09):
Yeah, like eight point thirty where I live, that's when
you start hearing lawnmowers.
Speaker 7 (27:14):
I was going to say, I always get like a
leaf blower when I'm trying to do my show at home.
Speaker 5 (27:18):
I got that's when the street, you know, people pay
for services, all come through.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
When I was doing all my shows from home back
in the day, every Tuesday, at the same time, right
in the middle of my like my busiest time. Yep,
he'd fucking fire that leaf blower up and I and
I would have to wait like ten or fifteen minutes
because I wasn't going to be that guy who went
out can be like can you stop? Yeah, he's doing
his joke.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
Right, and if it's not the homeowner, then you can't
really say anything.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Yeah, crew, So yeah, it's like, can you guys come
back later?
Speaker 4 (27:45):
They're all I had a crew.
Speaker 9 (27:47):
I had a crew in the next street over, and
it used to be there was two guys. One like
would just put the trigger down and just go. The
other guy, for whatever reason, goes round ron.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
That's more than there's more annoying. Oh my god.
Speaker 9 (28:01):
It was just driving me crazy, Like put the friggin
trigger down and blow it out and get the fuck out.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
I thought you had an act in dildo in your
drawer and then you just didn't notice it.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
It's like, oh shit, I thought that was a leaf bloor.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
The only thing that makes me crazy, the noises that
make me crazy outside is barking dogs. I can't once
it's like a drip or a snore. Once I hear it,
I can't fucking unhear it. And I love dogs. It
also pisses me off that people just leave their dogs outside.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
Don't you have a neighbor who does that?
Speaker 3 (28:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (28:30):
And I sent it well at first, okay, so I
feel really bad. So it was like two months ago
I sent my neighbor Jola text message and I go,
is your neighbor got their fucking dog outside? Because I
didn't see that they were home and I just didn't
think it was Joel. And he sends me a text
message like ten minutes later, he goes, I think that
might be mine, bro. And we didn't talk for like
three weeks, you know, like we were I don't know
if it was intentional. I just like we just I
(28:52):
don't know. It just felt like maybe we were trying
to avoid an awkward moment until it just played itself out.
Speaker 5 (28:57):
It's not your fault though. The serenity of your yard
is important.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
And they have a tiny dog. They have two of them,
and I like their dogs. They're sweet, but they just
bark at everything and they don't say anything about it,
and it really pisses me off.
Speaker 7 (29:08):
And as I mean, we all have or had had
dogs in here, and it's like as soon as they
start barking, it's your responsibility to go out there and
wrangle them, don't.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Cooper's never been like a loud dog. But sometimes if
he hears, like if somebody knocks on the door, like
a lot of times an Amazon guy will come up,
ring the doorbell and leave. Fuck those guys, just put
the package down, because Cooper goes batshit crazy when that happens.
But other than that, he's pretty great. But yeah, I'm
I'm I'm on people about it. But when I hear
a leaf floor, I can handle. If they're going i'd
(29:38):
be pretty annoying. But a barking dog try and record radio,
even if I'm just sitting there like it's just that.
Speaker 7 (29:45):
Yeah, when do you think it's done?
Speaker 2 (29:48):
It's not.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
It's not done.
Speaker 9 (29:49):
I had to change the settings on my equipment so
everything is so compressed now that I can people are
gonna be having conversations downstairs and I don't even hear
them or did they come through the micro That's why
you sound so terrible? Yeah right, yes it is. But
that's the reason why is because every frigging sound the
way it used to be set up, you could hear everything,
and so I had to change that because because you
guys are commented about like you can hear the sirens
going by or from thedward floor, right, Yes, you could
(30:13):
hear all of that, And so I had to change
that because it was it was making it impossible.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
Well, yeah, because where you live, the sirens never stop.
Speaker 9 (30:20):
There are there are so many ambulances we get They've
got uh like three hospitals in the area, and they're
just constantly just whipping back and forth, and most of
them are like distributing narcanda whoever's passed out.
Speaker 4 (30:32):
This will piss you off.
Speaker 5 (30:34):
The fire department next to my house, first of all,
a house burned down across the street and they fought
it silently in the middle of the night, not to
wake the neighbors up.
Speaker 8 (30:44):
Nice.
Speaker 5 (30:44):
And here's the other thing they do, because the the
one by my house responds to Interstate five. If there's
a massive thing going on to those couple of exits
when they leave the station, they might pop the thing
on just to come out of the driveway. But the
lights on with no siren on the way to the
freeway every time.
Speaker 9 (31:01):
Wow, wow, Yeah, that's that is impressive.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
It is.
Speaker 5 (31:04):
It's pretty bro mode. But I feel like that doesn't
work in the in Portland.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
No, not everywhere.
Speaker 9 (31:09):
The ambulances uh in in my neighborhood. They will park
the Jackson's on on eighty second and glease and they
just hang out there because they know.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
That it's coming.
Speaker 9 (31:18):
They don't bother going back to Like, we'll just wait
here because we're gonna be right back in a second.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
You know who lives next to a noisy spot is Marcus?
Dude lives next to a freeway.
Speaker 8 (31:28):
Oh yeah, yeah, that's right out the window. And you can't.
Speaker 6 (31:32):
I mean, I haven't done a lot to my equipment.
I use a lot of the same equipment you guys do.
I think I just have the right microphone for it,
because it's never picked up any road noise. And like
I can hear I hear people honking on the freeway
in my headphones, but I know it's not or I
hear it through my headphones, it's not coming through the mic.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
I've never heard that. I've never heard anything. And we've
been doing this.
Speaker 4 (31:52):
For a while.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
I would have never thought that you live next to
a busy road at all.
Speaker 5 (31:55):
But he has he has a buffer on the backside too,
And there's some shruwuff so it's not like not right there.
It's there like it's the next property, but it's not
like whoo right right.
Speaker 6 (32:06):
And the only I really I needed to switch up
my my setup here because we needed different camera angles
for work, and I had to get further away from
my green screen. So now my desk actually sits with
the back of it right to the window that looks
out at the freeway, So I'm six seven feet closer,
and I have a window behind me that the it's
(32:28):
right on the level of the of the road, so
if if.
Speaker 8 (32:32):
You were going to hear it, you'd hear it here.
Speaker 6 (32:33):
But I also, you know you mentioned something at Courts
Houses that's hardwood floors. I've got those downstairs. I'm carpet
all the way up the stairs and throughout the room
up here, and I have put some sound treatment in
here as well.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
So well, you've been talking about this podcast before we go, Marcus,
tell us real quick, when we can watch it, where
we can watch it? What's it about? You've got thirty seconds?
Speaker 8 (32:53):
Okay, so last night we launched our first lines.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
I'm sorry, Marcus going, I'm sorry, fat fingers.
Speaker 6 (33:05):
I got a fat thumb, all right, fifteen seconds last
night we launched our first live streams called the Rubber
Side Down Podcast.
Speaker 8 (33:12):
You can find it on YouTube. And her fingers are
apparently just they're itchy.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
Yeah he got okay, now serious, I'm not so far.
Speaker 9 (33:24):
I've heard you started a podcastright go from there?
Speaker 8 (33:28):
Started a podcast. You should check it out.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
It's like, I'm not doing it again. What's the name
of it? Is on YouTube?
Speaker 8 (33:35):
Yes, it is on YouTube at rubber side down Official.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
But the rubber hits the road, Laura, that's not what
it's called.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Rubber side down. It's not like when you go over
to plaid pantry and buy some Jimmy's.
Speaker 6 (33:48):
There's a common phrase in trucking where they say keep
the shiny side up. That means don't break. Hey, wait,
so we named our rubber side down, which also means don't.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
I got a question.
Speaker 7 (33:59):
When my truck gets in front of you, like when
you let us se my truck merge and they flash
their emergency flashes at you, does that mean they're saying
thank you?
Speaker 9 (34:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (34:08):
Absolutely yes. And when you when you let them in
or when you're when you're trying to signal them to
let them in, don't flash your brights at them. Their
mirrors are up above where yours are and it blinds
them temporarily, even in the daytime. Just turn your lights
on and off. That lets them know that you're going
to let them in. That means thank you. That's that's
how you communicate with the truck driver and they will
(34:29):
greatly appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (34:30):
Got it.
Speaker 5 (34:31):
So that doesn't mean they want to see your headlights.
You know it's the ones on the car because you know.
Speaker 8 (34:38):
Your head lights.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
Explains I'm struggling to thank them back in traffic.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Yeah, Like how I was I supposed to do this
with one hand?
Speaker 1 (34:47):
Pull your titty out? Yeah, that's an up.
Speaker 9 (34:50):
It's the old time, like is whip them out Wednesday?
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Yeah, all right, we will see you. I think I
was hoping Anthony.
Speaker 5 (34:57):
Yeah, I think he also looked at your boobs at
some point.
Speaker 9 (35:01):
What his name was?
Speaker 2 (35:03):
Everyone seen boobs?
Speaker 5 (35:04):
Oh no, I honestly the day of the week and
he's gonna whip out an aerol Mark is a sucked on.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
Terminated. You've been listening to Tanner, Drew and Laura's Donkey Show,
heard daily at one O five nine the brew dot com.
May God have mercy on all of our souls,
Let me know when you're ready.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
I bet that's a good start.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
This is Tanner, Drew and Laura's Donkey Shown.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
What's Up Kids? Thanks for checking out Tanner, Drew and
Laura's Donkey Show podcast. Uh yeaight? Heard online on one
of five nine, the brew dot Com, the iHeartRadio, WIF
or wherever you listen to podcasts. Yeah, Tanner Drew's here,
Laura's here, bus dress, and Marcus is here. Court should
be joining us in a few minutes. But before he
gets here, Marcus, I'm assuming you got your bracket in
(00:37):
if you're If you're listening to this one, recorded on Thursday,
March twentieth, you need to have your bracket in a
little over an hour ago.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Yep. We're fresh in the tourney.
Speaker 5 (00:45):
It's about halftime of the first game, so it's starting
to come up here.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Marcus, I'm assuming you got your sin right.
Speaker 6 (00:52):
Oh yeah, yep, got one for work in. Pretty excited
about it. To be honest with you, I don't know
if I'm gonna win. I never really do. But it's
always fun, man. Everybody's got a chance. That's the one
thing I love about March Madness is you can know
absolutely nothing, and it's so hard to pick a perfect
bracket that you can win. I mean, I've seen it
happen before where people picked based on uniforms and won
(01:14):
the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Marcus Laura's doing it based on mascots. Do you think
anyone will ever get a perfect bracket? Do you think
it'll ever happen ever? In our lifetimes? I guess, But
ever after that, if it doesn't happen in our lifetimes,
do you think it will ever happen?
Speaker 6 (01:31):
The thing is is like it's all a numbers game,
and I feel like with as popular as this has gotten,
you know, you like maybe Drew can speak to this too.
If you rewind fifteen years, it wasn't hard to get
ten or fifteen people in a bracket pool within the office. Nowadays,
like the one that I'm doing for one of my
things at work is like fifty sixty, seventy people are
(01:52):
involved in this thing. And if that's happening in every
office all around the world, I would think the numbers
would just say sooner or later, yeah, you're gonna get
enough people in the pool. Somebody's gonna blindly back into
a perfect one. But I don't know if we'll see
it for twenty years. I mean, it hasn't happened yet.
Speaker 7 (02:08):
I'm kind of surprised, and I know that odds are outlandish,
but I'm kind of surprised that it's never happened ever.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
Well, there's one main reason why, and that is because
even though it seems probable right that you in the
first round you get thirty two correct and the second
round you happen to get sixteen correct, the odds of
the perfect on perfect on, perfect on perfect round by
round becomes so exponential that your chances of winning the
(02:37):
lottery are one hundred to one thousandfold more likely than
you to get a perfect bracket. Are you ready for
your odds of getting a perfect bracket?
Speaker 1 (02:47):
So he's been winning the lottery is what one three
hundred and fifty million or something, Yeah, one in three
hundred million or something like that like that. Let me
just give you an official thing. What your chances of
winning the lottery are? What?
Speaker 7 (03:00):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (03:01):
One and four? So I don't know if.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
That's just like I would say.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Like powerball, powerball, jackpots.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Jackpot, Yeah, uh.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Because the lottery is like one in four, baby, What
are your chances of winning the powerball jackpots.
Speaker 8 (03:17):
Yeah, one and two point nine to two million.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Yeah, two hundred ninety two point two million, So yeah,
close to three hundred million to one for you to
hit that.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
That sounds like straight up pie in a park compared
to your chances of winning a perfect bracket one in
nine point two quintillion, what yes's crazy?
Speaker 7 (03:39):
I mean, I guess that's true with the power points,
like you just lucky guess six numbers and that's hard
enough as it is.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Between one and sixty.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
Now, the best anyone has ever done is in twenty nineteen,
oh an Ohio man predicted forty nine out of sixty
three games.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
That's pretty good, which is pretty good.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
I mean that's getting fourteen wrong threat the whole thing,
and still so far from a perfect bracket.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Now, I would love.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
To see it.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
I think it would be wid it ever happens. If
they have to make a movie about that, right, that's
got to be a movie.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Well, they they they lost its clickability when when Warren
Buffett stopped even offering the billion dollars, because like, this
is stupid clickbait at this point, because of the quintillion.
Speaker 7 (04:26):
I'm wondering with like the AI and like chat GPT
now in the world, I wonder could help you predict.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yeah, if there's going to be more.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
I bet people used to. I bet you people use
chat totally.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
The problem though, and I thought about this too yesterday
when I was filling it out, like whether you just
asked that thing.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
It's going to bank so much on ranking.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Yeah, and see, and I'm just gonna look at numbers
and not necessarily the spirit of a player or exactly
because the drive of a team.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
What's gonna happen today or tomorrow is there's going to
be like a five foot nine, chubby white kid who
care not miss three pointers.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Who plays for like Upper left Crust.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
University right, which you could never predict.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
You'll hear about him during March Madness and the he'll
disappear forever. He'll be an accountant.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
But in the meantime he is going to just trounce
all over half of our brackets and then fall out
in the sweet sixteen, but not before he ruins your
dead go terriers.
Speaker 6 (05:20):
What's so funny about this to me is you know
you talk about that guy from Ohio drew that what'd
you say he got forty three out of sixty.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
Nine out of sixty three.
Speaker 6 (05:30):
Forty nine out of sixty three. Correct, that's amazing. And
you know, Tanner, you said we got to make a
movie about it. If somebody gets one perfect, that's the
difference in the respect that you get here. I have
the utmost respect for whoever finally backs into the perfect bracket,
and I would watch that movie. I don't even want
to listen to a fucking podcast episode about the guy
(05:51):
that gots forty nine out of sixty three.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
I don't care.
Speaker 8 (05:54):
Like that's not even close enough to make it matter
to me.
Speaker 6 (05:57):
Yeah, And I think that just goes to show you
how wildly just outlandish these odds are like that, thinking
about it, the way that Drew talked about it, perfect
on perfect, on perfect on perfect, and how it continues
to be exponentially hard to do. I don't know, man.
I mean, I think my best ever, I think I
(06:18):
got out of the thirty two games. I think I
was right twenty nine times. One year I was dead.
I was dead last in that tournament. I remember thinking
after the first round, nobody can catch me, and after
the second round I never saw anything other than last place.
Speaker 8 (06:35):
I mean, is why this is so fun.
Speaker 5 (06:36):
It's such a good idea for a movie that I
told these guys this the other day. I bought Final Draft,
the program to write this movie five years ago. But
I got about ten pages in and I was like,
I feel how far fetched is.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
I feel like you gotta wait till it actually happens
and you can write the story or at least comes
close so that it's like, okay, well that is plausible.
But the idea of like a slum Dog millionaire where
your ants are the movie, Like, the reason you pick
Warford to win a game is because you happen to
break down into town where you saw a game on
a local television where this little chubby kid keeps on
(07:10):
in threes. So like, it's not just the pick.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
It's all about so a guy like you who doesn't
really care about where the ball falls.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
But wants to see the moment.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
And I do like the storylines. Yeah, I like to
see the underdogs win. Obviously so do I.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
And that's the thing that sucks about your bracket is
as your bracket is dying, the very thing that you
love about sports is happening. You know, they like the
very fact that they just ruined my chance at all.
This money is why they're so awesome right.
Speaker 7 (07:39):
Now as we speak, and obviously it's the first half,
but those Cinderella stories. Perdue, four seeded Purdue is only
two points ahead of thirteen seed high Point, Like, who
the hell is high Point?
Speaker 2 (07:52):
And they actually have a chance at winning this game.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
And that will thunder.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
I mean, and you got to think Perdue last year
played in the champ tip games. So how many people
who don't watch this sport until March Madness went?
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Oh Purdue, I remember Purdue.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
They're pretty good.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
They got to the championship game and you lose to
a thirteen or whatever, Cory.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
I mean, there's a lot of time left on this game.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Cor just walked in and I see you nodding your head.
Speaker 9 (08:14):
Yeah no, I mean that that's the best part of
all of the the n C DOUAA games is the
is the upsets. That's what you're that's what you watch
for because if it.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Was you want to see an awkward looking guy cry on.
Oh yeah, of course, I mean.
Speaker 9 (08:26):
That's the that's the that's the best story is like.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
I remember looking college kid.
Speaker 9 (08:30):
Of course it was a couple of years ago.
Speaker 6 (08:33):
You could just say you want to see a guy
with gigantism cry Tanner, you can just say, but yeah.
Speaker 9 (08:38):
I mean there's there's a few years ago where it
was like this the school that kind of came out
of nowhere, and then they had the the nun that
was praying for them or whatever time. I forget what school.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
Was the old nun every year that comes and roots
a mine.
Speaker 9 (08:53):
Right, and she has since passed away, but like that,
that was that was the story is like this, this
woman is kind of propelling them through the tournament. They
didn't end up winning, but they got pretty the way
deeper into the tournament than they should have.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
I think they got to like an elite eight one year.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
And the cool thing about this old nun is and
this is what's different about college basketball than anything else.
She would handwrite each player a motivational letter before each game.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
So she'd be like, Brian, I love your tenacity and
this and that and the other and.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
And that loves you. They were personal things, not just
some generic line share.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
Yeah, like a letter from your own grandma. So they
held her up in a.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Circle defense dufus. Disappointment leaks through. If you're you're that old,
your filter isn't all there anymore. So you tell them
work on your hands, praying over these bastards for thirty years, like,
oh my god, how much do I need to do? Well,
that's cool, man. So, cor did you play any bets
or did you join the office pool pool.
Speaker 9 (09:47):
I've done the brackets in the past, and it's the
same thing where like, uh, I think it was last
year of the year before, like I was going coming
out of around one, I was killing it. I was like,
I think I was in the lead in this one bracket,
and then by the next round, I was dead last.
Like everything had just fallen apart.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
So it's easy for that to happen, like it falls
apart so quickly.
Speaker 9 (10:08):
Yeah, so I don't even bother because.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
It's I'll tell you. If the guy who's running it
the workpool sends another email about it, I'm gonna kill myself.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
He promised the last one was the final one.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
It's like every day he's getting two or three emails
about March Madison.
Speaker 8 (10:21):
Did you.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
I don't know anything defensive him for how many people
were like invited to it. It was such a light
number that it was going to ruin the poll. So
I see why he did it is a little annoying.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
And also, you know, it's when you're a bookie or
whatever you.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Want to call that, a work bookie, you gotta shake.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Yeah, you gotta shake the tree. You gotta you're hurting cats.
Speaker 8 (10:39):
So I get it.
Speaker 9 (10:40):
Well, there's there's so many people doing them as well,
because I think I got invited to three of them
right now.
Speaker 7 (10:46):
Yeah, I mean, well I'm only in one, but I
bought two in our bracket.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Okay, I see, I see.
Speaker 9 (10:51):
Yeah, there's one in Seattle that I was invited to,
the one here in Portland, and there's like a company
wide one where if you win, you could win some
free research. So that search.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
State like radio station research like gus.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
I guess, I mean, I guess that's better like merch.
It's like you can win.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Company And thanks for not joining the bracket that would
have gotten us the free research. By the way, whatever
that somebody is going to turn into a wood polisher.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
It's a Washrag's gonna smell like pledge from cleaning it. U.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Well, Marcus, what about you? Did you play Cydney Batts?
How much money you got on the line.
Speaker 6 (11:37):
I don't have any money on the line this time there,
I am competing for money in one of the bracket
pools that I'm in, but if I win it, because
I'm the host of the show that's putting it on,
I will be giving it away to somebody else. So
nothing on the line for me other than bragging rights,
but also being in that, you know, it's kind of
the the host of the tournament.
Speaker 8 (11:57):
That's a lot of fun for me.
Speaker 6 (11:58):
Like there's some cool things that I get to do
on the podcast that I host with some of the
drivers or some of the people I work with, you know,
Like we we record two weeks in advance, so I
thought it would be cool actually this week to get
a guy on and talk about our picks because they
won't hear it for two weeks, so we're gonna sound
like complete idiots.
Speaker 9 (12:15):
And I love that.
Speaker 6 (12:16):
About it, Like it's so one thing that sports pundits
never have to do. They get to they get to
throw all these takes at you like they're right, and
when they're dead wrong, nobody ever comes back and says like, yeah,
sorry about that. So it's kind of something that we
get to do this week.
Speaker 8 (12:31):
It'll be, uh, it'll be.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
I think I saw Kevin Hart on with Stephen A.
Smith once and he goes, nobody is wrong more than
you are and comes on the air so confidently about yeah,
that's all it is.
Speaker 7 (12:40):
But it's it's like being a meteorologist. It's like the
one job where you can be wrong seventy five percent
of the time.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
They never say a job. They never say sorry about yesterday. Yeah,
don't always moving forward about all that didn't break, the
hailstorm that just rocked us in the middle afternoon. Yeah,
it's gonna be great to be a weatherman and like reno.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Oh yeah, and to say and more of the same.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Right, yeah, Vegas again.
Speaker 8 (13:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
I can't imagine that being very very important.
Speaker 7 (13:05):
It would be so bored there because like I feel
like if I were a weather man, which which I
did consider becoming a meteorologist for a very brief period
of time, because I wanted to stand in front of
the green screen.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
I thought, using a little clicker, I could see you
doing that.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
It's a job that's being eliminated slowly.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
With AI and everything else.
Speaker 7 (13:22):
But I feel like I would be one of those
storm chaser meteorologists, like I want to see.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Yeah, like you have the same thing every day.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
That's bored. And now we cut to Laura, whose sideways
right now hit with.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Styro from like Anderson Cooper.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
Yeah, she's swimming on the street.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
I think it would be pretty It's pretty serious out here.
The water's getting pretty about five feet deep if I
were to guess.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Especially if you're working for a major network like CNN,
like they take care of you behind a camera. They're security.
It doesn'tial they are safe. They might look like they're
in danger, but they're not in a shitty area. Like
there's a chance.
Speaker 7 (14:00):
Dson Cooper's out there getting smashed by debris because he
wants to they like.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
I like when I remember hearing them when Andy and
Anderson were doing the New Year's Eve thing. They were
talking it because it was one year, not this previous year,
but the year before that. It was like fucking iced over.
Everything was like it was like negative something. And they
all had heated coats, heated gloves. Heck yeah, all provided
by the Turner Broadcasting copyp.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
Why didn't they name it Andyson New Year's.
Speaker 7 (14:27):
Happy and everybody, you.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
Guys remember that time that Al Roker almost got blown
away standing on like the porch of a resort or something.
Speaker 8 (14:35):
I remember I was looking at this. Yeah, well, it's
like the wind got.
Speaker 6 (14:38):
So heavy that they cut the They cut the broadcast,
and I think they shared a video like kind of
a behind the scenes video later, And what you see
is it's funny because he's just standing there with the
background and you see the storm. When you see the
wide shot, what you understand is he's standing on the
porch of like a five star resort while around it
just gets battered.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
And ye, sorry about your luck, you guys.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Yeah, they really put the cameras in spots where it
looks like they're in the ship, but they're like on
the balcony of a hotel.
Speaker 8 (15:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (15:07):
I don't understand why they send them out there in
the first place.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Like, you can, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 8 (15:11):
You can.
Speaker 9 (15:11):
You can pretty much cover it with like whatever your
webcams or whatever out there. You can see how fast
the wind is blowing. You don't need to stick somebody
out there to get blown over it.
Speaker 8 (15:21):
That I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Contra I mean, if you're making two point five million
a year, I suppose you do what your.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
Added value there.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
Now here's the question. Was Roker before or after gastric bypass.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Because it's not it's not fair.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
To judge him because he used to be able to
just stand there and wear wind. Now he's slightly lighter
and he doesn't have the base for it.
Speaker 8 (15:43):
I think this was pre opt to be honest.
Speaker 9 (15:46):
I think that's a.
Speaker 8 (15:47):
Big roker getting pushed.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Around before he pooped his pants at the white That's
a category five poop my pants and poop my pants.
So yeah, I remember seeing video. I want to I
want to Roki Doki again my head, I picture Al
Roker just bloated on his back straight like a board,
but I don't I'm sure I don't think that was
the case.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
But he rolled down a set of stairs.
Speaker 9 (16:12):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
But when it comes, when it comes to these predictors, though,
they never have to be held accountable. Like just back
to the sports thing for a second. Like as soon
as TikTok had its first big year where NFL in
college was out and everybody's got a page where they
predict games and we do the games the best.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
So I started watching this.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
Guy who it was on a hot streak, and I'm
thinking gambling comes full circle, right, Like you can't just
keep winning when you gamble, you will lose. And so
I watched the guy go from like this hot take
where he's gaining followers to just a colossal collapse where
week after week it was just his head in his hands,
like at a stadium as he was losing his entire
(16:50):
kitty and all of his profits. So be careful who
you listen to just because they have a high definition
camera and a fucking ring light.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
It's not sustainable.
Speaker 9 (16:59):
Yeah, it's like Jim Kramer on whatever cs sm MS
with that one. Yeah, he like he has he is
wrong so often.
Speaker 8 (17:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (17:08):
I mean he shouts, he hits his little sound effects buttons,
bye bye bye bye, and then like things crater and
he never's like well sorry everybody.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
He just like he's been on TV for like twenty
thirty years or whatever. Right, he just leans in and
somehow does he still does he still bash it with
the hammer, and that was great. There was a time
where he was like lapstick. He was like he was
like a gallaghery just smashing and then you have a
big soundboard of big red buttons and he would just
hit it and a cow would play.
Speaker 9 (17:34):
Exactly yeah right, and he was wrong. So I mean
that's that's the thing with like the socker market too.
He basically is just gambling. He's just gambling with like
with with with a tie on, but it's it's the
same idea and and there he is like giving you predictions,
just like Steven A. Smith or whoever, like if you
say it confidently enough, people were like, Okay, well he
said it so clearly I'm gonna do I'm.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Gonna buy it.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
You'll never see Kramer stop down and be like, I'm
gonna be honest.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
We've had a bad two weeks.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
It's bad for ratings.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
So they just stay as they stay as confident as possible.
Stephen A talks out of his ass a lot, but
he's very confident.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
A lot of those people at home watching don't know
about ship. So yeah, they just just stay confident, keep
moving forward.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
That's right.
Speaker 7 (18:17):
Is that guy the weed guy, which one Stephen whatever
his name is Smith.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
He's the big mouth on ESPN, but he's.
Speaker 7 (18:26):
The who's the guy who who like doesn't want athletes
to be smoking weed.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
I don't know, it sounds like something Stephen A. Smith
would say.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
I could see him just trying to be polarizing.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
I like Steven Smith because he is that way, you know,
I can. I like that he's so outspoken and he's
unapologetic about it.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Oh yeah, he is. Stay off the weed.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
I mean, that's a dumb comment, but listen, I think
it's I think it's better than taking a handful of pills, Stephen,
you take a handful of pills. But I like people
like that. I like people like Cowherd who are just
I don't even like sports, and I love listening to
these guys because they're animated and they give their opinions,
which stirs the pot.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
And ESPN anymore is theater. It's not so much sports
casting anymore. It's like, Okay, I'm gonna say that I'm
anti weed, and then you're gonna yell at me about
the pills.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
Okay, Right, when we come back from commercial, it's gonna rock.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
And guess what, everybody watches it because it's polarizing, which
is fine. It's just like a lot of news now,
there's a lot of pomp and circumstance.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Yes, shock value as opposed to fact. What's really important?
Speaker 6 (19:28):
Yeah, well, good luck is with the storyline going on
here that I feel like it get's been getting ignored
a lot. And that is what's going on with Doug Gottlieb.
You know another sports caster, a guy that has been
involved in college basketball for a long time. He actually
got a job coaching the University of Wisconsin Green Bay
(19:49):
this last year, and you know, kind of you talked
a little bit of a big game before he went on,
not not like, oh, we're gonna go out and win titles,
but you know, confident coach type speak on his own
radio show. They won one game this year, and it's
like there's been these these passes of him getting just
ship on, but it only happens for like a second,
(20:11):
and somehow he makes it go away magically. I feel
like this should have been the lead storyline for the
entire season, Like this guy, he's on his own radio
show and nobody's calling up to talk ship to him about.
Speaker 8 (20:22):
How bad of a basketball coach.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Screened.
Speaker 6 (20:28):
Yes he's and and he is like this is the
guy that And I'm not a I'm not really a
fan or a detractor of Doug Gottlieb. He's always just
been kind of down the middle to me. But one
thing about him is you kind of feel like you're
getting talked down to by Doug Gottlieb when he's talking
about basketball. He's always liked pretentious and and you know what,
(20:50):
what we would say, what the fans would say was yeah,
I'd love to see you put on a whistle and
see you coach a team.
Speaker 8 (20:55):
Well, it happened, and he won one fucking game.
Speaker 6 (20:59):
Like should be a movie. This put Will Ferrell in
this movie. I would love to see.
Speaker 5 (21:03):
Well, there's two things keeping this from being a major headline.
First of all, Doug Gottlieb is a second tier sports announcer,
whereas in if this was Dan Patrick or or Colin Cowherd,
this would be another level. And it's also the University
of Wisconsin Green Bay, which ninety eight percent of Americans
could not point to on a map.
Speaker 7 (21:23):
But I mean truthfully that, I mean it's fair though,
I mean, one, how many games does a basketball team
play in anything?
Speaker 5 (21:31):
You're probably playing forty games, which is you win one
out of those.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
Yes, he's pretty trash.
Speaker 6 (21:36):
Well, and you did mention Colin Cowherd and say that
Doug Gottlieb was a second tier guy. But Doug Gottlieb
show competes directly in the same time slot nationally syndicated
with Colin Cowhard. So it's a pretty big deal. I mean,
he's nationally syndicated Fox Sports Radio if I'm not mistaken,
or maybe CBS so it again, you're right, he's protected
(21:58):
from all angles, Like you can see that for sure.
I guarantee you that the the media company works for
probably keeps a pretty big bubble around him. But man,
I felt like that should have been a bigger story.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
M Well, Doug Gottlieb's nose is a big story's looking
like Adrian Brody.
Speaker 8 (22:15):
That's the first thing that walks in the room, no question.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Well, good luck on everyone's bets, and you know, maybe
that will become a big story later. Who knows. But
Laura is back today from being sick yesterday. She's back.
Speaker 9 (22:28):
I'm barfriend or what were you doing?
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:34):
I dry heaved a bit in the shower yesterday morning.
When I was I was like, I can rally, it's fine.
Speaker 7 (22:39):
I got I got body agches, I got the chills.
But the dry heaving in the shower was when I
was like, it's probably just.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Like not that's usually for me. When I felt like,
because that's usually where it turns you around, and if
you start going south in the shower the day's done,
Like I'll feel kind of nauseous and then I'll get
in the shower and then I'll feel better.
Speaker 7 (22:57):
Use.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Yeah, in my mind, I'm like, all right, I'm going
to take a shower and I'm.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Gonna feel better because and when you don't, that's you
probably did make the right decision. You know, we don't come,
you know, grumpy us, and.
Speaker 5 (23:06):
You've you've got a pile of sick days which none
of us ever used.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
That's somebody too.
Speaker 7 (23:11):
I was like, I was like, man, I really hate
calling off work, and then I was I know, I
I never do it like I have. Actually, since I've
been here, I've called off sick probably more than ever.
And I've only called called off sick twice. I don't
think I've ever taken a sick day outside of like
this job.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
Well we're nauseato.
Speaker 7 (23:29):
Yeah, sometimes you need the time, but it's one of
those things where it's like you can take a day,
it's fine, but the world's not going to stop.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
When I take a day off for being sick. The
guilt that washes over me that day and I just
feel like a piece of shit, you know, like Oh,
I just let people down. And you know, I just
stayed in my pajamas. I just felt like that I
was such a loser.
Speaker 7 (23:49):
I felt like that when I was programming because I
felt like there was more to do. But with this job,
I feel less pressure to like go, go, go and
get stuff done.
Speaker 5 (23:59):
There's times when you're feeling sick, like obviously it happens
quite a bit, especially when you get up when we do.
But a lot of times and you're is a different
scenario yesterday, But a lot of times, a couple advil,
one type of anti histamine, and a hot shower to
get that out of your nose. If it doesn't go
into your throat and make you puke, you can normally
(24:19):
rally and come to work.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Yeah, and usually that's what I would do.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
Like even at like sixty five percent with no fever,
I'm sitting right here.
Speaker 8 (24:26):
You know.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
That's that's just kind of the part of the course.
In a pre COVID world, thirty.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
Five percent, I'm still sitting here.
Speaker 9 (24:33):
Well, I'm just glad you're back, and uh, don't let
it happen again or you're fired, No.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Problem, got you.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
It's funny.
Speaker 5 (24:40):
I court's got a lot of remorse. It's like, yeah,
I don't know if I've got the flu. He waits
two hours. He's like, what's the answer.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
You come in the gas?
Speaker 2 (24:47):
No, you got shingles.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
He's not really sensitive about it, like, hey, how do
you feel? You're all right? Are you diseased? I need
to know now right are you? Are you dying? Are
you good? The quote was are you diseased?
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Like ten, boss, no, I'll what are you?
Speaker 9 (25:01):
What do you I can get you replaced right now.
I mean immediately he.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Was training a sales lady. What did you end up
doing yesterday? Lord? Did you work at all? As you just?
Speaker 7 (25:08):
I did work because I still had to, And I
would have sent an email to Colorado Springs and been like,
I'm not doing the show today.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
But of course, out of any week of the year,
I had.
Speaker 7 (25:19):
A giveaway this week, which usually I don't have because
I'm not the live body in the building. But this
was wrapped up up until in like a like a
sales thing, so I had to do it. And I
was like, I can I can sit at my little
stool at home and knock this out.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
So the technology little bit we can we can do
our our broadcasts from our houses. Now, as long as
you got the good equipment, the right equipment, it will
sound good. It sounds like you're at the studio.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I don't know if
it sounded good, but I got it done.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
We kept we kept Podner up all morning.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Nothing there, you there, hello or anyone, Bueller or anyone.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Okay, that's how we talked to court sometimes. So most
of the time, Jesus all of COVID, we didn't see
you were you work from home?
Speaker 9 (26:00):
We have they had you on the show from here.
They told it not to come in. So yeah, I
just I just.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Did it, like all right done.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
And actually you've said you like working from home better.
Speaker 9 (26:10):
Way, way more just because I can get I can
actually get stuff done. I don't like. I actually start
working earlier. I'm more productive because I don't have to
drive anywhere. I don't have to spend an hour in traffic.
I don't have to, you know. So it's it's just
nicer in general. And I can just do it in
my sweats.
Speaker 5 (26:26):
So and the fact that we don't commute like you
do is a big factor too, you know. But for me,
like the process of coming here is almost like putting
on your arm or putting on your fire suit before
you go do your job.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
You know, it's like.
Speaker 5 (26:39):
That process to getting to this door and opening it
up and being ready. I just don't know if I'd
be ready like I am when I'm here and my
kids would be there, And that's a problem.
Speaker 9 (26:51):
That is. The only downside is if there are any
if there's anybody in the house, then it feels weird
because I'm trying to do, you know, doing my thing.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
I feel weird when we do when we do the
show and here and the doors open. Yeah, right, well,
I like people in the hallway here, but like thousands
of people are listening. I don't care. I don't want
the guy going to the bathroom to hear what we're doing.
Speaker 5 (27:09):
Yeah, like eight point thirty where I live, that's when
you start hearing lawnmowers.
Speaker 7 (27:14):
I was going to say, I always get like a
leaf blower when I'm trying to do my show at home.
Speaker 5 (27:18):
I got that's when the street, you know, people pay
for services, all come through.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
When I was doing all my shows from home back
in the day, every Tuesday, at the same time, right
in the middle of my like my busiest time. Yep,
he'd fucking fire that leaf blower up and I and
I would have to wait like ten or fifteen minutes
because I wasn't going to be that guy who went
out can be like can you stop? Yeah, he's doing
his joke.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
Right, and if it's not the homeowner, then you can't
really say anything.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Yeah, crew, So yeah, it's like, can you guys come
back later?
Speaker 4 (27:45):
They're all I had a crew.
Speaker 9 (27:47):
I had a crew in the next street over, and
it used to be there was two guys. One like
would just put the trigger down and just go. The
other guy, for whatever reason, goes round ron.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
That's more than there's more annoying. Oh my god.
Speaker 9 (28:01):
It was just driving me crazy, Like put the friggin
trigger down and blow it out and get the fuck out.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
I thought you had an act in dildo in your
drawer and then you just didn't notice it.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
It's like, oh shit, I thought that was a leaf bloor.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
The only thing that makes me crazy, the noises that
make me crazy outside is barking dogs. I can't once
it's like a drip or a snore. Once I hear it,
I can't fucking unhear it. And I love dogs. It
also pisses me off that people just leave their dogs outside.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
Don't you have a neighbor who does that?
Speaker 3 (28:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (28:30):
And I sent it well at first, okay, so I
feel really bad. So it was like two months ago
I sent my neighbor Jola text message and I go,
is your neighbor got their fucking dog outside? Because I
didn't see that they were home and I just didn't
think it was Joel. And he sends me a text
message like ten minutes later, he goes, I think that
might be mine, bro. And we didn't talk for like
three weeks, you know, like we were I don't know
if it was intentional. I just like we just I
(28:52):
don't know. It just felt like maybe we were trying
to avoid an awkward moment until it just played itself out.
Speaker 5 (28:57):
It's not your fault though. The serenity of your yard
is important.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
And they have a tiny dog. They have two of them,
and I like their dogs. They're sweet, but they just
bark at everything and they don't say anything about it,
and it really pisses me off.
Speaker 7 (29:08):
And as I mean, we all have or had had
dogs in here, and it's like as soon as they
start barking, it's your responsibility to go out there and
wrangle them, don't.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Cooper's never been like a loud dog. But sometimes if
he hears, like if somebody knocks on the door, like
a lot of times an Amazon guy will come up,
ring the doorbell and leave. Fuck those guys, just put
the package down, because Cooper goes batshit crazy when that happens.
But other than that, he's pretty great. But yeah, I'm
I'm I'm on people about it. But when I hear
a leaf floor, I can handle. If they're going i'd
(29:38):
be pretty annoying. But a barking dog try and record radio,
even if I'm just sitting there like it's just that.
Speaker 7 (29:45):
Yeah, when do you think it's done?
Speaker 2 (29:48):
It's not.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
It's not done.
Speaker 9 (29:49):
I had to change the settings on my equipment so
everything is so compressed now that I can people are
gonna be having conversations downstairs and I don't even hear
them or did they come through the micro That's why
you sound so terrible? Yeah right, yes it is. But
that's the reason why is because every frigging sound the
way it used to be set up, you could hear everything,
and so I had to change that because because you
guys are commented about like you can hear the sirens
going by or from thedward floor, right, Yes, you could
(30:13):
hear all of that, And so I had to change
that because it was it was making it impossible.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
Well, yeah, because where you live, the sirens never stop.
Speaker 9 (30:20):
There are there are so many ambulances we get They've
got uh like three hospitals in the area, and they're
just constantly just whipping back and forth, and most of
them are like distributing narcanda whoever's passed out.
Speaker 4 (30:32):
This will piss you off.
Speaker 5 (30:34):
The fire department next to my house, first of all,
a house burned down across the street and they fought
it silently in the middle of the night, not to
wake the neighbors up.
Speaker 8 (30:44):
Nice.
Speaker 5 (30:44):
And here's the other thing they do, because the the
one by my house responds to Interstate five. If there's
a massive thing going on to those couple of exits
when they leave the station, they might pop the thing
on just to come out of the driveway. But the
lights on with no siren on the way to the
freeway every time.
Speaker 9 (31:01):
Wow, wow, Yeah, that's that is impressive.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
It is.
Speaker 5 (31:04):
It's pretty bro mode. But I feel like that doesn't
work in the in Portland.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
No, not everywhere.
Speaker 9 (31:09):
The ambulances uh in in my neighborhood. They will park
the Jackson's on on eighty second and glease and they
just hang out there because they know.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
That it's coming.
Speaker 9 (31:18):
They don't bother going back to Like, we'll just wait
here because we're gonna be right back in a second.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
You know who lives next to a noisy spot is Marcus?
Dude lives next to a freeway.
Speaker 8 (31:28):
Oh yeah, yeah, that's right out the window. And you can't.
Speaker 6 (31:32):
I mean, I haven't done a lot to my equipment.
I use a lot of the same equipment you guys do.
I think I just have the right microphone for it,
because it's never picked up any road noise. And like
I can hear I hear people honking on the freeway
in my headphones, but I know it's not or I
hear it through my headphones, it's not coming through the mic.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
I've never heard that. I've never heard anything. And we've
been doing this.
Speaker 4 (31:52):
For a while.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
I would have never thought that you live next to
a busy road at all.
Speaker 5 (31:55):
But he has he has a buffer on the backside too,
And there's some shruwuff so it's not like not right there.
It's there like it's the next property, but it's not
like whoo right right.
Speaker 6 (32:06):
And the only I really I needed to switch up
my my setup here because we needed different camera angles
for work, and I had to get further away from
my green screen. So now my desk actually sits with
the back of it right to the window that looks
out at the freeway, So I'm six seven feet closer,
and I have a window behind me that the it's
(32:28):
right on the level of the of the road, so
if if.
Speaker 8 (32:32):
You were going to hear it, you'd hear it here.
Speaker 6 (32:33):
But I also, you know you mentioned something at Courts
Houses that's hardwood floors. I've got those downstairs. I'm carpet
all the way up the stairs and throughout the room
up here, and I have put some sound treatment in
here as well.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
So well, you've been talking about this podcast before we go, Marcus,
tell us real quick, when we can watch it, where
we can watch it? What's it about? You've got thirty seconds?
Speaker 8 (32:53):
Okay, so last night we launched our first lines.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
I'm sorry, Marcus going, I'm sorry, fat fingers.
Speaker 6 (33:05):
I got a fat thumb, all right, fifteen seconds last
night we launched our first live streams called the Rubber
Side Down Podcast.
Speaker 8 (33:12):
You can find it on YouTube. And her fingers are
apparently just they're itchy.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
Yeah he got okay, now serious, I'm not so far.
Speaker 9 (33:24):
I've heard you started a podcastright go from there?
Speaker 8 (33:28):
Started a podcast. You should check it out.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
It's like, I'm not doing it again. What's the name
of it? Is on YouTube?
Speaker 8 (33:35):
Yes, it is on YouTube at rubber side down Official.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
But the rubber hits the road, Laura, that's not what
it's called.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Rubber side down. It's not like when you go over
to plaid pantry and buy some Jimmy's.
Speaker 6 (33:48):
There's a common phrase in trucking where they say keep
the shiny side up. That means don't break. Hey, wait,
so we named our rubber side down, which also means don't.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
I got a question.
Speaker 7 (33:59):
When my truck gets in front of you, like when
you let us se my truck merge and they flash
their emergency flashes at you, does that mean they're saying
thank you?
Speaker 9 (34:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (34:08):
Absolutely yes. And when you when you let them in
or when you're when you're trying to signal them to
let them in, don't flash your brights at them. Their
mirrors are up above where yours are and it blinds
them temporarily, even in the daytime. Just turn your lights
on and off. That lets them know that you're going
to let them in. That means thank you. That's that's
how you communicate with the truck driver and they will
(34:29):
greatly appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (34:30):
Got it.
Speaker 5 (34:31):
So that doesn't mean they want to see your headlights.
You know it's the ones on the car because you know.
Speaker 8 (34:38):
Your head lights.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
Explains I'm struggling to thank them back in traffic.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Yeah, Like how I was I supposed to do this
with one hand?
Speaker 1 (34:47):
Pull your titty out? Yeah, that's an up.
Speaker 9 (34:50):
It's the old time, like is whip them out Wednesday?
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Yeah, all right, we will see you. I think I
was hoping Anthony.
Speaker 5 (34:57):
Yeah, I think he also looked at your boobs at
some point.
Speaker 9 (35:01):
What his name was?
Speaker 2 (35:03):
Everyone seen boobs?
Speaker 5 (35:04):
Oh no, I honestly the day of the week and
he's gonna whip out an aerol Mark is a sucked on.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
Terminated. You've been listening to Tanner, Drew and Laura's Donkey Show,
heard daily at one O five nine the brew dot com.
May God have mercy on all of our souls,
