00:00:00.366 --> 00:00:03.147
Welcome back to Two C's with a Pod. Hey, Matt.
00:00:04.077 --> 00:00:10.457
Hey. My wife's just outside the hall. Yeah, keep it down.
00:00:11.366 --> 00:00:14.732
Yeah, we're going to keep it down. So home's being remodeled.
00:00:15.307 --> 00:00:18.341
And yeah, so the house is being remodeled.
00:00:18.979 --> 00:00:22.597
So we were on vacation for a few weeks. Well, they kind of started with the
00:00:22.597 --> 00:00:26.017
demo and all that stuff, and then now we've been back this week,
00:00:26.017 --> 00:00:32.592
but we don't have showers here, and we have a toilet actually two now so we got the second one back.
00:00:33.706 --> 00:00:41.407
But as luck would have it so we got back on friday late yeah monday night at
00:00:41.407 --> 00:00:45.375
midnight our septic alarm was going off so,
00:00:46.377 --> 00:00:52.847
we had to get the uh septic pump people out here tuesday to pump out literally
00:00:52.847 --> 00:00:57.157
pump out all the shit from our house but from the septic tank and,
00:00:58.032 --> 00:01:01.834
as luck would have it during our remodel the septic pump went out,
00:01:02.807 --> 00:01:06.637
So, you know, I know you got a couple females at your house,
00:01:06.637 --> 00:01:15.442
but you really tread lightly when there's no showers and toilets for a couple days in the house.
00:01:15.740 --> 00:01:20.187
Just a miserable experience. Yeah. So now that we've got the pump kind of,
00:01:20.187 --> 00:01:24.387
you know, it's to a point where we can, they can go to the bathroom,
00:01:24.387 --> 00:01:25.667
but they still need showers.
00:01:26.227 --> 00:01:30.100
No showers? Yeah. So they have, they got to go down to my mom's.
00:01:30.919 --> 00:01:36.457
So anyway if I have to just like cut off recording here or if I'm not like as
00:01:36.457 --> 00:01:41.490
you know that is because like we're all actually living out of this room that I,
00:01:42.287 --> 00:01:48.127
yeah which is not I mean you know not the largest room I mean you know it's
00:01:48.127 --> 00:01:52.595
meant to be it looks still you know it's usually seems like you're like home office home office.
00:01:54.087 --> 00:01:59.967
Yeah it's like it's yeah it's my home office not meant for four We still have four.
00:01:59.967 --> 00:02:03.087
Do we still have four? I mean, I know that Elle is getting older.
00:02:03.087 --> 00:02:07.641
I want to be careful that she's still here. Okay, I thought so. No, she's still here.
00:02:08.307 --> 00:02:12.361
Yeah, I mean, this whole thing started with, you know, the dog passed away about a year ago.
00:02:12.987 --> 00:02:17.220
And you know what does not go together is an aging pet and carpet.
00:02:18.447 --> 00:02:21.267
Yeah. So I was like, well, I'm not replacing a carpet until,
00:02:21.871 --> 00:02:26.307
you know, like, well, he doesn't have full kidney function and,
00:02:26.647 --> 00:02:27.807
you know, bladder control.
00:02:27.807 --> 00:02:32.467
I

don't think that I really want to go ahead and replace this carpet.
00:02:32.467 --> 00:02:37.067
Well, so then he passes away and then we're like, okay, well,
00:02:37.067 --> 00:02:40.738
let's get this carpet done. And it's like, well, if we're going to do carpet, we should probably,
00:02:41.608 --> 00:02:45.456
paint these parts of the house, you know, and if we're going to paint,
00:02:45.456 --> 00:02:48.858
we should probably go ahead and remodel the bathrooms because those need and
00:02:49.096 --> 00:02:51.926
want to do that. And, you know, well, actually, while we're at it,
00:02:51.926 --> 00:02:56.056
we should probably just knock the house down and start new because we need a carpet.
00:02:56.711 --> 00:03:01.433
So now we're, we're a whole home remodel in because we need a carpet.
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:07.226
Yeah the list gets long we are we are talking of you know doing some repairs
00:03:07.226 --> 00:03:10.896
around the house too and it's very and what we do know is that you know.
00:03:11.756 --> 00:03:15.273
As you're doing your due diligence to find the right people,
00:03:15.992 --> 00:03:20.016
you always have kind of the deluxe version of what you could do they're always
00:03:20.016 --> 00:03:26.704
very clear you know that hey you could do all of this right um you know i know that you called,
00:03:27.284 --> 00:03:33.116
us out for this but we you know we see this this and this so you know yes it's
00:03:33.116 --> 00:03:37.016
just the kind of nature of the beast that you're gonna have it's gonna take
00:03:37.016 --> 00:03:39.777
longer than you want it to it probably should,
00:03:40.300 --> 00:03:43.496
it's probably gonna be it's gonna be a little more expensive than you originally
00:03:43.496 --> 00:03:47.199
thought of and you're gonna end up doing more than you really set out to,
00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:52.356
so it is it is a dangerous but But at the end of the game that,
00:03:52.656 --> 00:03:55.284
you know, you have hopefully a beautiful remodel.
00:03:55.777 --> 00:03:59.616
Well, yeah. It's not pain-free, I know, to that. I think what homeowners need
00:03:59.616 --> 00:04:05.059
to do is open up a home equity line of credit and then phase these projects in.
00:04:05.842 --> 00:04:08.706
You know, I think that's kind of what you got to do because, like...
00:04:08.736 --> 00:04:12.276
This is how little I know, so I'm not sure if you're actually being sarcastic
00:04:12.276 --> 00:04:14.296
here or this is, like, solid advice.
00:04:14.296 --> 00:04:19.306
No, this is solid advice. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So like, because like what will
00:04:19.306 --> 00:04:23.306
happen is you can open a home equity line of credit at relatively low interest
00:04:23.306 --> 00:04:25.651
rate. I mean, it's not going to be like 30 year mortgage low,
00:04:26.058 --> 00:04:28.920
but it's definitely not going to be like put all this stuff on a credit card.
00:04:29.477 --> 00:04:33.026
And so what you do, here's the life hack on this, is that.
00:04:34.068 --> 00:04:37.911
You buy all of your, like, they're going to have you buy all of the light fixtures
00:04:37.911 --> 00:04:41.131
and stuff like that anyway, like all your handles and hardware and stuff like
00:04:41.131 --> 00:04:44.666
that. And so you get the remodel guy that's basically going to,
00:04:45.334 --> 00:04:48.626
you're going to end up buying all of the materials.
00:04:49.125 --> 00:04:54.511
And so you go out, you pick them, you pay the company that he tells you to go
00:04:54.511 --> 00:04:57.809
and you buy all your materials, put all that on a credit card.
00:04:58.500 --> 00:05:03.388
You have a home equity line of credit. So let's say your credit card is an 18% credit card.
00:05:04.218 --> 00:05:07.481
But you can get a home equity line of credit for, depending on how your credit
00:05:07.481 --> 00:05:11.944
is, you know, between four and a half and eight and a half percent.
00:05:12.397 --> 00:05:13.941
So you put it on the credit card.
00:05:14.589 --> 00:05:22.310
Then you fund, once a month, you fund your home equity line of credit to pay the credit card off.
00:05:23.017 --> 00:05:28.411
Okay, so now you've taken 18, 20% credit card. Now you're going to pay interest,
00:05:28.871 --> 00:05:30.953
on a home equity line of credit.
00:05:31.992 --> 00:05:36.444
And so then you can kind of start spreading out like, okay, I want to pay this
00:05:36.682 --> 00:05:40.191
home equity, I want to pay this home improvement project off in five years.
00:05:40.191 --> 00:05:41.354
So then you set your plan.
00:05:42.465 --> 00:05:48.062
Monthly payments that you pay so that you spread that out, then you pay to a
00:05:48.062 --> 00:05:51.634
lower interest rate versus like if you're paying 18% juice,
00:05:52.385 --> 00:05:57.332
it becomes a huge take to like you start wanting to, oh, okay,
00:05:57.332 --> 00:06:01.858
we got to pay $5,000 a month on this because this interest is eating us up. Yes.
00:06:02.852 --> 00:06:07.280
Versus like, okay, we're going to pay $500 or $1,000 a month or,
00:06:07.940 --> 00:06:09.092
you know, that type of stuff. Right.
00:06:11.052 --> 00:06:15.692
Yeah. Yeah, but it's still, so it's a financial burden at times,
00:06:15.692 --> 00:06:18.833
and you know, there's a game to play there that can make it better.
00:06:19.274 --> 00:06:22.892
But yeah, it's just, it's a very inconvenient moment, though,
00:06:22.892 --> 00:06:24.332
for a while. Yeah, thanks.
00:06:24.992 --> 00:06:29.483
Bless you all, and I hope it goes quickly and painlessly.
00:06:29.715 --> 00:06:33.024
Here's really what it boils down to. Let's say this is a five-week project,
00:06:33.953 --> 00:06:35.559
and we were gone for two weeks of it.
00:06:36.209 --> 00:06:43.112
We were gone on vacation. So three weeks out of, I mean, it's less than 10%
00:06:43.112 --> 00:06:45.700
of the year that we're being inconvenienced.
00:06:45.990 --> 00:06:49.281
Those three weeks, I mean, let's
be honest, though. No shower,
00:06:49.740 --> 00:06:51.725
times of having no toilet.
00:06:52.652 --> 00:06:58.332
These count. They do. They do. But let's think of the pioneers out there.
00:06:58.332 --> 00:07:03.292
You know, let's think of the old. I mean, we're very, very privileged and very kind of pampered.
00:07:03.292 --> 00:07:09.402
Let's be honest. Like, I know, I know of your home and I'm glad that your wife
00:07:09.402 --> 00:07:13.555
is no longer in the room because I'll say this out loud, but I know you have woods around you.
00:07:13.753 --> 00:07:17.979
You know, it doesn't, you know, you just walk right on out there, pop a squat.
00:07:18.321 --> 00:07:20.292
Hey, that's how, just know that.
00:07:21.832 --> 00:07:22.785
I'm going to be honest with you.
00:07:24.212 --> 00:07:27.527
You know where I live. You know that there's not a lot of neighbors around.
00:07:27.939 --> 00:07:31.995
That's what I mean. I have no shame on either side of the house. No.
00:07:32.975 --> 00:07:35.655
Exactly. You don't even really have to walk that far. I mean,
00:07:36.555 --> 00:07:42.255
you could take a nice little morning stroll and really be into some timber, let's call it, woods.
00:07:42.675 --> 00:07:46.417
But it's not necessary. Dude, I've walked out of there. Let's say for number one.
00:07:46.626 --> 00:07:51.810
Number two, I mean, you know. Yeah. Well, you don't want to near the house.
00:07:52.170 --> 00:07:55.835
That's why you gotta that's why you gotta get into them collateral damage let's
00:07:55.835 --> 00:08:01.000
take a little walk exactly but a couple nights ago still rough a septic went out,
00:08:01.499 --> 00:08:05.295
yeah like I was downstairs where the alarm was going off and stuff like that
00:08:05.295 --> 00:08:08.135
and I just walked out the back and I was just like well I'm just gonna it,
00:08:08.795 --> 00:08:12.715
was a full moon you know I just hey look at there just looking up man it's like
00:08:12.715 --> 00:08:17.605
dude it's like camping like really sometimes I can camp oh it's and I will say,
00:08:18.275 --> 00:08:23.905
for us what we do know as males we do have a level of convenience especially
00:08:23.905 --> 00:08:26.255
for number one that number two is a little different.
00:08:27.455 --> 00:08:34.775
You know number one for our female companions or you know daughters it's much tougher you know,
00:08:35.275 --> 00:08:39.395
in a sense so I again the shower part too like they gotta go down to my mom's
00:08:39.395 --> 00:08:46.035
like me I'm just like packing a backpack like I'm just packing a backpack I go to the gym I'm there,
00:08:46.715 --> 00:08:50.675
anyway it looks like probably they're going for a three week vacation when they
00:08:50.675 --> 00:08:55.335
just to go down there to shower yeah yeah me i'm packing a backpack you know
00:08:55.335 --> 00:09:00.305
and that i'm going to over there to the gym i'm i'm utilizing the shower there
00:09:00.305 --> 00:09:01.507
then
i'm heading right on oh,
00:09:02.315 --> 00:09:06.865
oh you got the shower exactly in the gym you don't even necessarily have to
00:09:06.865 --> 00:09:12.674
use moms and that you know based on that yeah i it is still yes and i bear it,
00:09:13.794 --> 00:09:18.579
you know, there's a comfortableness to your own shower too that there is nothing
00:09:18.579 --> 00:09:21.376
that, you know, right? Like, I just so weird. You want to know what,
00:09:22.369 --> 00:09:26.199
the biggest challenge for me is actually the, to be honest with you,
00:09:26.199 --> 00:09:28.556
man, it's actually just having to carry the towels.
00:09:30.227 --> 00:09:33.629
Yeah, no, no, no. You take up a lot of space and then you can't really reuse
00:09:33.629 --> 00:09:36.379
it because you have to like roll it up and put it in your backpack and then
00:09:36.379 --> 00:09:39.609
it's sitting in the car all day. So then it kind of starts to...
00:09:39.789 --> 00:09:43.050
Cook it. It's a little, yeah, you know, whatever funk it had,
00:09:43.605 --> 00:09:45.229
It isn't airing out, let's just say.
00:09:45.989 --> 00:09:50.489
It only puts them on. You get done at the shower, you're hanging your towel
00:09:50.489 --> 00:09:52.789
up, and then it air dries and you're good to go.
00:09:52.789 --> 00:09:56.684
Give it another shot if you got to, yeah. So speaking of air dries,
00:09:58.517 --> 00:10:03.033
you will no longer be able to air dry a towel at Arrowhead Stadium,
00:10:03.300 --> 00:10:05.756
this new one. No. You don't like it.
00:10:06.889 --> 00:10:14.642
I don't like what has been shown to us in cartoon, you know, form so far.
00:10:14.973 --> 00:10:19.079
I mean, again, I think it's fair to give it some time, you know,
00:10:19.079 --> 00:10:24.887
but the initial renderings, these first renderings are underwhelming to say the least.
00:10:25.235 --> 00:10:30.216
And I don't find it to be very aesthetically pleasing or just something that,
00:10:31.284 --> 00:10:34.989
maybe is worth the kabillion dollars and the move and all of that. Yes.
00:10:35.029 --> 00:10:39.538
So, I think it looks like Arrowhead Stadium with a roof on it.
00:10:40.354 --> 00:10:45.399
And what I have heard is that now that, you know, again, these are just the
00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:49.711
renderings, and I am of the opinion that these renderings always look dumb.
00:10:52.547 --> 00:10:57.187
The trees are really stupid. It's a cartoon. Yeah. The trees and the stupid
00:10:57.187 --> 00:10:59.159
cars and the stupid people that they have out there.
00:10:59.502 --> 00:11:02.032
Very stupid. Very fair. Yeah.
00:11:02.722 --> 00:11:07.036
But what I have heard is that there are things that...
00:11:09.473 --> 00:11:13.797
I didn't hear much about this town hall with the Royals, where things went sideways
00:11:13.797 --> 00:11:15.318
this week. I don't know if you did.
00:11:15.911 --> 00:11:18.736
I didn't hear a whole lot of details on that. But the Chiefs,
00:11:19.459 -->
00:11:20.607
I will give them credit for.
00:11:20.607 --> 00:11:23.887
They surveyed people and they said, what do you want the new stadium to have?
00:11:23.887 --> 00:11:30.387
And it was like tailgating, noise, noise, you know. And then the roof is supposed
00:11:30.387 --> 00:11:34.544
to be like a glass roof so that you can still see the flybys.
00:11:34.870 --> 00:11:38.039
You know, stuff like that. I think they're supposed to have real grass.
00:11:38.271 --> 00:11:41.139
I guess I saw Mark Donovan was talking somewhere.
00:11:41.405 --> 00:11:46.387
You know, what they're not doing is locking themselves into much of anything
00:11:46.387 --> 00:11:48.058
now, which is probably smart.
00:11:48.569 --> 00:11:51.443
I mean, you're seven years away from actually playing a foyer in there.
00:11:51.652 --> 00:11:58.147
Exactly. So I think what his comment as far as the grass went was that the prevailing
00:11:58.147 --> 00:12:03.442
kind of moving forward, it feels like there's a good chance it will be natural grass.
00:12:03.964 --> 00:12:09.943
I think there could be an opportunity at some point or they may be forced into that.
00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:15.017
I think that's a bargaining piece that the players' union at some point will
00:12:15.017 --> 00:12:16.117
start to throw out there.
00:12:16.117 --> 00:12:21.327
It's obviously something that the players mostly are in favor of is keeping grass fields.
00:12:21.327 --> 00:12:25.667
It's that I think it's pretty much proven data that, you know,
00:12:25.667 --> 00:12:31.717
it is healthier overall for for, you know, it's fair to say it's probably still somewhat open science.
00:12:31.717 --> 00:12:35.397
But I would say, you know, most of the data would point to that's safer for
00:12:35.397 --> 00:12:40.037
players. So I think whether they want it to be, you know, natural grass or not,
00:12:40.037 --> 00:12:41.566
they may not have a choice in seven years.
00:12:42.386 --> 00:12:45.160
Because the players are really kind of starting to, you know,
00:12:45.160 --> 00:12:50.110
again, it does seem a bit, I'm sure they're annoyed by the fact that FIFA,
00:12:50.110 --> 00:12:54.330
right, again, that FIFA said, hey, Jerry, it's going to be natural gas.
00:12:55.050 --> 00:12:58.750
And Jerry said, cool, we go to natural gas and it was just fine, right?
00:12:58.750 --> 00:13:02.250
But then why would we, so if you can maintain it, if you can figure it out for
00:13:02.250 --> 00:13:08.190
soccer, why can't, so it's a really smart time for the NFLPA to be involved in it right now.
00:13:08.190 --> 00:13:12.940
Because again all of these stadiums that were artificial went to grass to get
00:13:12.940 --> 00:13:18.433
to get the the tournament so yeah i i you know but so i understand the,
00:13:19.610 --> 00:13:24.180
they got to do like uh what arizona did i think they've all all these new stadiums
00:13:24.180 --> 00:13:28.220
have to do with the grass like arizona did where you just got to
roll out roll
00:13:28.220 --> 00:13:32.310
it back in wow like you gotta you've got to bring it out and actually i think
00:13:32.310 --> 00:13:33.880
like in a place like kansas city.
00:13:35.321 --> 00:13:40.723
Like realistically, I feel like you've got to roll that turf out and you've
00:13:40.723 --> 00:13:42.083
got to build a greenhouse.
00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:46.143
I hope it's something. I mean, that could be really cool. You know what I mean?
00:13:46.143 --> 00:13:48.763
Because like I don't think you can. You're right. Because like you.
00:13:49.223 --> 00:13:52.403
No, it's the wintertime. It's the wintertime. You can't grow grass after October
00:13:52.403 --> 00:13:53.505
here. Everybody knows that.
00:13:54.143 --> 00:13:56.463
A hundred percent. You're not growing grass. I'm glad we don't.
00:13:56.463 --> 00:13:59.633
I'm sick of mowing. I don't want to mow. Yeah, I don't want to mow.
00:13:59.633 --> 00:14:00.627
You can't do that past Halloween.
00:14:01.103 --> 00:14:04.573
No. So like Arizona, you know, they can bring it in, bring it out.
00:14:04.573 --> 00:14:09.243
Plenty of sun throw some water on it no big deal but like here with the the
00:14:09.243 --> 00:14:15.763
climate yeah i feel like you've got it's got to be like a controlled house i would have to look it up,
00:14:16.783 --> 00:14:20.533
it's a great point i'm gonna have to look it up i believe it is like i think
00:14:20.533 --> 00:14:26.533
it's called the burnabout but i think so where i believe it's where real madrid plays okay they have,
00:14:27.163 --> 00:14:32.117
it's more of an underground system okay so to that instead of sliding it out
00:14:32.390 --> 00:14:34.103
you're sliding it down okay,
00:14:34.883 --> 00:14:36.563
And underneath that,
00:14:37.516 --> 00:14:41.133
is more of a greenhouse environment.
00:14:41.133 --> 00:14:44.113
You've got sprinklers and water. You're able to maintain it down there.
00:14:44.203 --> 00:14:46.863
And then when you're ready for it, you pop it up.
00:14:47.854 --> 00:14:49.083
I think the other thing, too, is.
00:14:50.126 --> 00:14:53.574
When you build a stadium, it's the other things that it opens up for you.
00:14:54.383 --> 00:15:00.393
So WrestleMania, NCAA Final Fours, Super Bowls. We're talking Super Bowl already. Yeah.
00:15:00.964 --> 00:15:04.257
Yeah, so, and I think I mentioned to you and Kelly that,
00:15:05.051 --> 00:15:08.537
when we were coming back from vacation we drove through nashville and normally
00:15:08.537 --> 00:15:11.233
when we drive through nashville we go around the,
00:15:11.792 --> 00:15:15.347
west and north side of the city well this time we went around the east side
00:15:15.347 --> 00:15:19.907
because as luck would have it we were right there right at the end of rush hour
00:15:19.907 --> 00:15:24.027
traffic and man if you've ever had the opportunity to do nashville during rush
00:15:24.027 --> 00:15:26.345
hour traffic i'm going to tell you go ahead and avoid it.
00:15:28.064 --> 00:15:33.177
I have not but i'm sure oh you should you should not experience it is what I
00:15:33.177 --> 00:15:34.717
would encourage you not to do.
00:15:34.717 --> 00:15:38.083
Do you know Nashville is the largest, fastest growing city in the country right now?
00:15:38.611 --> 00:15:43.277
It's a tremendous, I think it's our biggest, I would argue, so it's our biggest
00:15:43.277 --> 00:15:47.937
competitor, let's just say, or it's past us, you know, to that point.
00:15:48.377 --> 00:15:50.877
It's a bigger, it's a bigger draw on bigger cities.
00:15:51.319 --> 00:15:56.307
And it makes a lot of sense. Anyway, we went around the city and right next
00:15:56.307 --> 00:16:00.047
to Nissan Stadium, I think that's what it's called now, but right next to that,
00:16:00.047 --> 00:16:01.416
they're building their new stadium.
00:16:02.114 --> 00:16:05.208
And, man, it looks a lot like Lucas Oil Stadium.
00:16:05.353 --> 00:16:11.093
Just a brick square building with a, like, kind of an arched roof over.
00:16:11.541 --> 00:16:14.217
Like, you would actually kind of look at this thing and you wouldn't,
00:16:15.059 --> 00:16:17.282
you wouldn't say, like, oh, that's where they play football.
00:16:18.099 --> 00:16:22.797
I know. Yeah. And so, like, it's, like, when you see, like, again,
00:16:22.797 --> 00:16:28.014
like, Lucas Oil Stadium, man, they have done a significant amount of things in that facility. Yeah.
00:16:29.872 --> 00:16:34.072
I think they held like the U.S. swim trials. They've had, I know, I know.
00:16:34.772 --> 00:16:38.452
Obviously, they have Final Fours pretty much every year. I mean, or some level.
00:16:39.056 --> 00:16:44.232
Where this goes is the, where I was going with this was, I don't think you can
00:16:44.232 --> 00:16:47.806
have a natural grass and leave it in the stadium.
00:16:48.369 --> 00:16:51.642
And then you're going to have to be able to do something with it to put,
00:16:51.642 --> 00:16:54.046
like you can't put the basketball floor over the top of it.
00:16:54.730 --> 00:16:58.732
Right, right, right. You know, you can't have every huge act.
00:16:58.732 --> 00:17:01.583
Like, I know that they've been doing more of the concerts.
00:17:02.412 --> 00:17:07.173
Somebody was at the K while I was gone. Oh, Post Malone and Jelly Roll. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:13.576
And they let people out onto the, like, they're still at the stage in left field, essentially.
00:17:15.312 --> 00:17:20.072
Yes, Fish is playing Fenway this weekend. So yes, they played at baseball stadiums.
00:17:20.072 --> 00:17:25.142
Yes, quite often. And then if you look at what the field looks like after these
00:17:25.142 --> 00:17:28.432
concerts, it doesn't look great. Of course not.
00:17:29.752 --> 00:17:33.832
These are primal events. I mean, these people do some really rough behaviors
00:17:33.832 --> 00:17:36.999
in these. Especially if it rains. What if it rains? What if there's weather?
00:17:37.912 --> 00:17:41.550
The other thing, too, is it's okay to occasionally have, like,
00:17:42.113 --> 00:17:46.462
hey, we're going to have fireworks Friday and we're going to let 100 people
00:17:46.462 --> 00:17:48.342
come put blankets on the field.
00:17:48.392 --> 00:17:52.904
Nothing compared to that. Nothing compared to, like, hey, we're going to put,
00:17:53.558 --> 00:17:56.449
8,000 people down here, plus soundstage.
00:17:57.632 --> 00:18:01.332
It's really probably more the equipment and the stage and the lights.
00:18:03.572 --> 00:18:07.382
You're driving vehicles back and forth to move all of this stuff on.
00:18:07.382 --> 00:18:10.682
It's not like you're hand bringing all that stuff on. You've got big,
00:18:10.682 --> 00:18:14.921
massive cranes and construction equipment that's coming onto the field, do you assume?
00:18:16.512 --> 00:18:21.852
You've got to do something. I think we're both in a little bit of wait and see.
00:18:22.101 --> 00:18:23.756
I think the cartoons are dumb.
00:18:24.592 --> 00:18:28.432
I do think that if they go with the dome, which they're going to have to do
00:18:28.432 --> 00:18:32.520
it to get the other events, I would either like it to be...
00:18:33.345 --> 00:18:38.812
Open something you can open right go to your point i mean i don't i don't i
00:18:38.812 --> 00:18:43.417
don't think they've really moved away from any kind of retractable thing i think.
00:18:45.332 --> 00:18:49.322
You know there's a difference between being you know a dome in the dome in the
00:18:49.322 --> 00:18:54.182
most in the most you know closed sense and then having some sort of open openness
00:18:54.182 --> 00:18:58.502
to it and i think that's a possibility i guess in some ways my biggest issue
00:18:58.502 --> 00:19:00.138
and this is where it does become,
00:19:00.667 --> 00:19:05.992
an interesting kind of dilemma of and i understand this nostalgia for let's
00:19:05.992 --> 00:19:10.088
keep the things we like about arrowhead or let's make it arrowhead with a roof,
00:19:10.634 --> 00:19:12.874
you know and and kind of be okay with that,
00:19:14.032 --> 00:19:19.392
i'm i'm kind of of the other mind where where i'm a bit of okay so arrowhead
00:19:19.392 --> 00:19:23.792
was we love arrowhead we had an opportunity to keep arrowhead i'm gonna have a lot of memories that,
00:19:24.432 --> 00:19:28.792
you know so whatever the new arrowhead looks like i it won't matter,
00:19:29.332 --> 00:19:35.241
if it's sort of like the old one or not so my i actually feel like let's move,
00:19:35.752 --> 00:19:39.740
almost as far away from the old arrowhead as possible and,
00:19:40.257 --> 00:19:43.742
when you think of what you've what you've heard from and i'll be honest like
00:19:43.742 --> 00:19:48.872
i said i don't like this keep me in the arrowhead keep me in the outside i think
00:19:48.872 --> 00:19:53.532
What Buffalo's done is some level of in-between, which I think is probably the best you can do.
00:19:54.312 --> 00:19:58.651
You're renovating to a really fancy and modern stadium, but you're still keeping
00:19:58.965 --> 00:20:04.612
the elements and still keeping the charm of that and the novelty of that.
00:20:04.612 --> 00:20:08.142
And I think the advantage of that, again, I think this is the biggest mistake
00:20:08.142 --> 00:20:09.492
to me for the Chiefs is...
00:20:10.684 --> 00:20:14.434
I went to the frozen game against the Miami Dolphins.
00:20:14.690 --> 00:20:20.143
They had no chance in that game. There was no, and yes, the Chiefs were much better.
00:20:20.143 --> 00:20:24.065
I'm not, let me be careful in saying it wasn't because of the cold,
00:20:24.337 --> 00:20:28.173
but that game was over before it started because of the cold.
00:20:28.173 --> 00:20:30.148
It was over when the Dolphins got off the airplane.
00:20:30.427 --> 00:20:35.183
I mean, and you get it. I mean, at some point there is extremes to this type
00:20:35.183 --> 00:20:37.776
of thing, right? That you go, hey, you're a tough football player. I don't care.
00:20:38.413 --> 00:20:42.170
You know, there is an acclimation that you just can't get living in Miami.
00:20:42.379 --> 00:20:45.444
You know, so again, I think that was an advantage that we're losing.
00:20:45.740 --> 00:20:48.923
But to that, if we're going to say, OK, now we're dominant.
00:20:48.923 --> 00:20:54.475
Now we're going to a little more modern field. And my feeling is make it so fi, make it,
00:20:54.991 --> 00:21:00.443
you know, some of these, because I will say I as much as those type of stadiums
00:21:00.443 --> 00:21:07.603
kind of gross me out personally, you know, because I just I have a nostalgia for our type of stadium.
00:21:07.603 --> 00:21:11.393
And your Lambos of the world and, you know, the old, older styles.
00:21:12.193 --> 00:21:16.123
I think what you saw with the World Cup was, I mean, if there was one thing
00:21:16.123 --> 00:21:19.938
you did hear from people coming from Europe, coming from other places, and then.
00:21:20.893 --> 00:21:25.673
I think they didn't discount the coolness of Arrowhead, but what you heard them
00:21:25.673 --> 00:21:33.123
say about SoFi and Jerry World was like, oh, my God, these places are insane.
00:21:33.123 --> 00:21:37.354
They're crazy. There's no, you know, so to the point of, they're like,
00:21:37.610 --> 00:21:40.903
you know, they had the final in New York, New Jersey at MetLife,
00:21:40.903 --> 00:21:43.467
which is a dump compared. It's a dump. Been there. Been there.
00:21:44.053 --> 00:21:46.593
You've been there exactly. You can speak to it. There's nothing,
00:21:46.913 --> 00:21:50.873
there's nothing, there's nothing about that stadium that is...
00:21:51.613 --> 00:21:57.558
Anyway like memorable or like gives it charm i mean there's no charm exactly
00:21:57.558 --> 00:22:03.128
you the argument of arrowhead is that it's old but it has charm the tailgating
00:22:03.128 --> 00:22:06.572
the the oldness
of it gives it something that is unique,
00:22:07.107 --> 00:22:11.798
met life is is truly like the worst of both worlds you know it doesn't give
00:22:11.798 --> 00:22:16.258
you anything that unique and then it doesn't give you the modern and you know,
00:22:16.968 --> 00:22:21.108
the things you would for it and you see in sofi and you see in jerry world so
00:22:21.108 --> 00:22:26.578
i would love to see if i would almost argue make it go crazy just,
00:22:27.338 --> 00:22:31.768
you know instead of just putting a glass roof over arrowhead and saying and
00:22:31.768 --> 00:22:35.498
we're gonna tell i mean the other piece is andy and you can speak to this too
00:22:35.498 --> 00:22:39.585
and how you feel of like i i get the tailgating plea piece i i do.
00:22:40.662 --> 00:22:43.061
I think it's cool. You know, I've always participated in it.
00:22:43.061 --> 00:22:48.161
I also think if they spend too much worry about that and not building around
00:22:48.161 --> 00:22:53.177
it and building, because that's what we didn't see also too.
00:22:53.606 --> 00:22:59.191
What we saw to me was, hey guys, we told you you're still going to get the tailgate.
00:22:59.487 --> 00:23:02.302
So here's a picture of a big parking lot and a stadium.
00:23:02.860 --> 00:23:07.871
I truly hope that that's not how it ends up because I don't understand that.
00:23:08.251 --> 00:23:09.605
That's what they've had before.
00:23:11.951 --> 00:23:16.311
And the problem was not building around it So why would we do that?
00:23:16.711 --> 00:23:24.441
I think having You can speak to The area around Jerry World The area around
00:23:24.441 --> 00:23:26.141
some of these stadiums In St.
00:23:26.141 --> 00:23:31.910
Louis Around Bush Stadium Wrigleyville in Chicago These places that are like,
00:23:32.838 --> 00:23:35.771
You go That's what I would say about.
00:23:36.839 --> 00:23:43.441
Building around a football stadium Like if your business is built around the
00:23:43.441 --> 00:23:48.105
NFL schedule, you're not going to be there very long because there's 355,
00:23:49.151 --> 00:23:53.125
other days out of the year that you've got to do your business, right? Sure.
00:23:53.649 --> 00:24:00.179
And so you get those 10 days a year. But so there's really like around Jerry World, not much.
00:24:00.848 --> 00:24:05.601
Not much. Like it's kind of a parking lot. You've got to like there's – it's
00:24:05.601 --> 00:24:07.251
in Arlington. So, I mean, it's...
00:24:08.151 --> 00:24:12.504
I have to speak a little bit. But I thought there was like a power and light
00:24:12.655 --> 00:24:16.171
type level of thing near it. Is that not...
00:24:16.651 --> 00:24:19.331
Near, but not near it.
00:24:20.155 --> 00:24:24.840
Like not T-Mobile Center near it. Right. Yeah. So like you're...
00:24:25.892 --> 00:24:29.618
If you want to go to that entertainment area after the game,
00:24:29.618 --> 00:24:30.704
you're still getting in your car.
00:24:31.186 --> 00:24:35.059
Okay, okay. That's crazy to me. I don't understand that.
00:24:35.489 --> 00:24:39.588
To me, baseball needs, you build a baseball stadium in a very populated,
00:24:39.588 --> 00:24:41.230
densely populated area,
00:24:41.671 --> 00:24:47.048
and you have things around it because you have 81 days of people utilizing the
00:24:47.048 --> 00:24:50.878
things around it plus a handful of days. So you've got 100 days maybe.
00:24:51.557 --> 00:24:55.818
That's about a third of the year. I mean, that's nothing to sneeze at,
00:24:55.818 --> 00:24:57.582
that you have things going on there.
00:24:58.082 --> 00:25:02.087
Football stadium, I feel like they need space.
00:25:03.061 --> 00:25:05.830
Speaking of tailgate, did you hear what the University of Texas did?
00:25:06.445 --> 00:25:07.379
Have you heard about this?
00:25:08.180 --> 00:25:13.692
These things are, don't quote me on the distance, but they're like five miles away from the stadium.
00:25:14.756 --> 00:25:24.408
They have built these high-end luxury man caves with like field and like all of these things.
00:25:24.408 --> 00:25:31.315
And so, and they're like these suites, but basically they're away from Daryl Cuddy Royal Stadium.
00:25:31.727 --> 00:25:35.617
And they're tailgate suites, let's call them. They're tailgate suites.
00:25:35.890 --> 00:25:38.554
They're like entertainment suites that they're selling.
00:25:38.937 --> 00:25:43.348
And so like you bring like these high-end clients, like these million-dollar
00:25:43.348 --> 00:25:46.958
clients, entertain them in this high-end suite.
00:25:46.958 --> 00:25:50.873
And then the car service that takes you directly to the gang,
00:25:52.008 --> 00:25:55.028
drops you off front door picks you up and there's,
00:25:56.088 --> 00:26:04.088
special like lanes right for these cars so yeah that's incredible I mean and
00:26:04.088 --> 00:26:07.647
so like I think that might be the way because like,
00:26:08.666 --> 00:26:13.286
You know, something that I'm with you on is, like, I was going to ask you as
00:26:13.286 --> 00:26:16.876
you were talking, I was like, do you think they're going to call it New Arrowhead?
00:26:16.876 --> 00:26:18.946
And if they do, how big of a mistake is that?
00:26:19.417 --> 00:26:24.352
Because I remember New Coke, the new Beatles.
00:26:26.456 --> 00:26:30.436
The new anything is, like, terrible, except for New Edition.
00:26:30.436 --> 00:26:33.476
They were pretty good. But New Edition, outside of anything...
00:26:33.476 --> 00:26:36.396
It wasn't an old edition, though. We didn't... Does that make sense?
00:26:36.396 --> 00:26:40.546
Yeah, so new kids on the block was pretty good because there wasn't old kids
00:26:40.546 --> 00:26:44.106
on the block. Old kids on the block, exactly. It wasn't like new,
00:26:44.106 --> 00:26:46.114
new kids on the block were no good.
00:26:46.578 --> 00:26:50.116
Exactly, who would like that? Exactly. Yes, yes.
00:26:51.240 --> 00:26:54.036
Comparison is the thief
of joy. I mean, we do it a bit.
00:26:54.496 --> 00:26:58.206
But to that, I would just argue just move forward. And Andy,
00:26:58.206 --> 00:27:03.996
you know, hey, buddy, if we won't get into it, we're already deep into this
00:27:03.996 --> 00:27:06.106
one. And we've had many a podcast about it.
00:27:06.553 --> 00:27:12.266
But I am absolutely fine with moving away from the Native American imagery and
00:27:12.266 --> 00:27:15.336
moving Arrowhead from. And I will also say this.
00:27:15.946 --> 00:27:19.951
It almost felt silly to an extent.
00:27:20.363 --> 00:27:24.146
But after a while of getting used to it, I did not have a problem calling it
00:27:24.146 --> 00:27:26.636
Kansas City Stadium for the World Cup.
00:27:26.636 --> 00:27:33.714
And so call it Kansas City Stadium. So, I mean, now that you bring it up,
00:27:33.830 --> 00:27:41.138
I mean, why were, like, the official naming of the team was why? Why?
00:27:42.340 --> 00:27:47.184
For H. Roe Bartle, the mayor. H. Roe Bartle. And they called him chief. It's named chief.
00:27:47.544 --> 00:27:51.654
I know. So, you know, now that you move it across the state line.
00:27:51.654 --> 00:27:53.706
Oh, you can't call it chiefs.
00:27:53.985 --> 00:28:01.344
Right? Like, now do we name it after, like, the mayor of, uh, YM, like, the YM.K.C.K.
00:28:01.744 --> 00:28:04.851
Mayor or YM.K. County executive?
00:28:05.357 --> 00:28:09.254
Like, do we name it after them? Or, like, who is the governor?
00:28:09.254 --> 00:28:12.267
Like, do we name it, like, Governor Kelly Stadium?
00:28:12.940 --> 00:28:19.784
I, I'm, you know, she happens to be mostly mindful of persuasion, so I'm okay with that.
00:28:19.784 --> 00:28:22.044
She made a lot of that happen, you know? Like, I'm just saying,
00:28:22.044 --> 00:28:26.764
I don't know that you can really, oh, let's be honest, if it was the president.
00:28:27.890 --> 00:28:30.584
If it was our current president that was involved with this,
00:28:30.584 --> 00:28:35.064
then it would end up being, he actually does want the, the Washington stadium
00:28:35.064 --> 00:28:36.724
named after him, he 100% expects him.
00:28:36.724 --> 00:28:42.112
Exactly, I know, I know, this is like a real thing that's actually happening, that he, right.
00:28:42.450 --> 00:28:47.114
Well, but like, I don't know, man. I mean, come 2031, I might be leaning towards
00:28:47.114 --> 00:28:53.369
the side of you because like, you know, when you disconnect the whole Atro-Bartle lineage.
00:28:53.474 --> 00:28:55.314
Hey, we got to start all over.
00:28:55.749 --> 00:29:00.367
The KC Metro's, you know I go for, I like the KC Metro's.
00:29:00.772 --> 00:29:04.724
No, I think the last thing I would probably say about the stadium is I think
00:29:04.724 --> 00:29:08.474
that you're right that comparison to the Thief of Joy, I think people are going
00:29:08.474 --> 00:29:11.463
to go out to this thing and go, okay, is it Arrowhead?
00:29:12.084 --> 00:29:17.344
Because
anytime there's, you know, and I'm kind of dealing with this in my professional
00:29:17.344 --> 00:29:19.449
life, of anytime there is a,
00:29:20.447 --> 00:29:27.456
a transition of something like there's this and i have literally had to tell people i am not doug.
00:29:28.842 --> 00:29:34.322
You know like i can't be doug right like doug had his views and philosophies
00:29:34.322 --> 00:29:40.124
and his unique things and he was fantastic and great but i can't just come in and be doug jr,
00:29:40.829 --> 00:29:46.007
like that's not why i'm here like that's like i'm here to build on what doug has,
00:29:46.745 --> 00:29:50.988
the amazing things that doug has done he has led, he has like paid such a way for me,
00:29:51.745 --> 00:29:54.073
but I can't be the same as Doug.
00:29:54.555 --> 00:29:59.622
I've had to tell that in a lot of people. Yeah, you can't be the person you're replacing, right?
00:29:59.622 --> 00:30:03.212
Because then you, especially when they're really good, if people like them and
00:30:03.212 --> 00:30:06.372
they're pretty good at what they do, then it's intimidating to try to replace
00:30:06.372 --> 00:30:11.099
them. And so then it becomes this like, well, Doug did this.
00:30:11.331 --> 00:30:13.049
Well, Doug was this. Well, Doug was that.
00:30:15.775 --> 00:30:19.772
Arrowhead. Yeah, and the people would do, well, Arrowhead had the tailgate,
00:30:19.772 --> 00:30:23.322
and we don't get that anymore, and all of that stuff.
00:30:23.322 --> 00:30:27.992
I mean, again, it is funny to hear them say how they want to keep the noise.
00:30:27.992 --> 00:30:31.432
I mean, again, I think that is our job. I mean, that's the fans' job.
00:30:31.432 --> 00:30:33.722
I mean, a little bit, right? I mean, it is wild.
00:30:34.813 --> 00:30:39.552
And here's the reality of this stadium. Like, we think that we're basically
00:30:39.552 --> 00:30:42.062
taking Arrowhead and the culture and.
00:30:44.416 --> 00:30:48.352
The fans, right? We think that we're taking this loudest stadium in the world,
00:30:48.967 --> 00:30:50.175
and we're moving it over.
00:30:50.796 --> 00:30:55.952
But the reason why you're not going to be able to do that is when it was the
00:30:55.952 --> 00:31:00.234
loudest stadium in the world, when it was in the 90s, and when it was in,
00:31:00.983 --> 00:31:04.931
whenever they set that record, when it was 2012, 20, whenever, whenever.
00:31:06.000 --> 00:31:12.388
As the course of time has gone, the stadium is not being built for a guy making,
00:31:12.933 --> 00:31:16.590
it's not being built for the dude working the blue-collar job,
00:31:16.782 --> 00:31:18.297
taking a lunch pail to work every day.
00:31:19.349 --> 00:31:23.564
It's being built for the corporate suites, right? And corporate suites don't
00:31:23.564 --> 00:31:27.750
make a lot of noise, right? Like, I have been in corporate suites.
00:31:28.941 --> 00:31:35.082
T-Mobile, at the K, at I've never done it for a Chiefs game,
00:31:35.082 --> 00:31:42.641
but my impression of all these corporate suites that I've been in is that you're in there mingling.
00:31:43.210 --> 00:31:46.031
You don't, the game is a It's an afterthought.
00:31:47.715 --> 00:31:53.819
And if you are cheering, your cheers are confined to your little booth there, right?
00:31:55.009 --> 00:32:00.062
God forbid that it dip below 64 degrees, because then you've got to close the
00:32:00.062 --> 00:32:04.602
thing off and go to the air conditioning. God forbid that if it dips above 77
00:32:04.602 --> 00:32:07.282
degrees, because then you've got to close it off and be in the air conditioning.
00:32:08.422 --> 00:32:11.982
So between 64 and 77, you've got the thing open.
00:32:12.667 --> 00:32:17.182
But the noise, you will never be able to replicate that.
00:32:18.662 --> 00:32:24.142
And look, I'm not bagging on corporate people, but what I am bagging on is that,
00:32:25.396 --> 00:32:29.971
these games, these stadiums, all of these new stadiums are being built for the experience.
00:32:30.476 --> 00:32:36.205
They're being built for the high-end clientele. The high-end...
00:32:36.786 --> 00:32:41.180
It's not great. You know, I think we did the episode where we were talking about the Knicks tickets.
00:32:41.855 --> 00:32:50.532
Oh, yeah. Come on. The Game 3 and Game 4, and, you know, like $135,000 for a ticket.
00:32:50.532 --> 00:32:56.642
You know, well, it's because Because all of those tickets are owned by high-end
00:32:56.642 --> 00:33:00.502
law firm, high-end private equity group, high-end finance, you know,
00:33:01.884 --> 00:33:07.351
the high-end investment banks, the banks, like those who, that's who owns all of those tickets.
00:33:07.908 --> 00:33:11.702
And sure, we're going to show this guy like, yeah, all right,
00:33:11.702 --> 00:33:13.464
yeah, when the Knicks are doing great.
00:33:14.510 --> 00:33:20.140
But, like, when you build these stadiums for, when you build the stadiums to
00:33:20.140 --> 00:33:26.239
attract suite cells and the corporations, right, that can afford,
00:33:27.264 --> 00:33:29.667
you know, $10,000 more per game.
00:33:30.421 --> 00:33:34.757
Okay, we just sold a suite for $100,000, you know, like.
00:33:37.790 --> 00:33:43.930
I saw the contract when Community America was becoming the bank of the chiefs.
00:33:43.930 --> 00:33:45.262
A financial partner of the Chiefs.
00:33:46.243 --> 00:33:51.310
And, like, the guaranteed spend of being the official banking partner of the
00:33:51.310 --> 00:33:58.108
Chiefs or, like, we had to, like, we had to buy tickets for, we had to buy a suite.
00:33:58.769 --> 00:34:03.280
Right. Okay, so not only did we pay for the right to be the banking partner,
00:34:03.280 --> 00:34:05.510
but as part of that, we had to pay for suite.
00:34:06.530 --> 00:34:10.970
We had to, like, you had to pay for the suite. You had to pay for food in the
00:34:10.970 --> 00:34:14.560
suite every week. You know, you had to pay, you
had to pay for the tickets to
00:34:14.560 --> 00:34:15.900
get the people into the suite.
00:34:19.630 --> 00:34:22.310
That's where they make their money when they make their money we think about
00:34:22.310 --> 00:34:27.823
okay prices have gone up for Joe Lunchbox and they have but to that,
00:34:28.067 --> 00:34:34.530
that's still not where they're making their money where they're making their money high end sales,
00:34:35.850 --> 00:34:40.230
and most of the time it's not to individuals it is to companies No,
00:34:40.230 --> 00:34:44.830
there's not, I mean, if there's individuals that are owning those boxes,
00:34:44.830 --> 00:34:46.890
it's because the individual owns a company.
00:34:46.890 --> 00:34:49.662
Owns a company. Yes, exactly.
00:34:49.877 --> 00:34:54.428
So if I wanted to, if I wanted to say, okay, Apex is not going to have a box that's,
00:34:55.165 --> 00:34:58.692
We're going to have a suite at Arrowhead. It's because I have a company that
00:34:58.692 --> 00:35:02.842
produces enough money for me to go buy and have a suite at Arrowhead.
00:35:03.002 --> 00:35:05.782
And then you can do what you want to then at that point. You can get out to
00:35:05.782 --> 00:35:08.642
clients and then it becomes, you still, it's still.
00:35:09.722 --> 00:35:12.362
It becomes a business development thing, right? As far as like,
00:35:12.362 --> 00:35:16.412
okay, hey man, why don't you go to, hey man, come on into the suite and watch
00:35:16.412 --> 00:35:19.482
a Chiefs game, right? That's a fabulous out of hell, yeah, I would.
00:35:19.482 --> 00:35:21.790
And then it's going to pass away. It works for me.
00:35:21.982 --> 00:35:25.042
So then you're coming in and then, hey man, free food, free booze,
00:35:25.042 --> 00:35:28.519
free, you know, all this stuff. And then the next thing you know is like,
00:35:28.866 --> 00:35:34.282
I've racked up a $20,000 bill in food and booze for, you know,
00:35:34.282 --> 00:35:36.657
15 people to be in this suite.
00:35:38.137 --> 00:35:40.712
And, you know, so I mean. They barely are watching the game.
00:35:40.712 --> 00:35:42.608
To your point, they're barely watching the game.
00:35:42.914 --> 00:35:48.082
They barely are engaged with the game. These are not your kind of loud environment
00:35:48.082 --> 00:35:49.742
making, you know, people.
00:35:50.242 --> 00:35:56.282
And that's why what we know is, regardless of when they, if they made that record
00:35:56.282 --> 00:36:01.482
in 2012, what I can tell you is that's not the loudest that Arrowhead's ever been.
00:36:02.282 --> 00:36:07.262
You know that. I know that. We all know that. When Arrowhead was at its absolute
00:36:07.262 --> 00:36:09.658
peak is those 90s that you're speaking on.
00:36:09.954 --> 00:36:16.402
And it was louder than it was ever going to be whenever they recorded it in 2012 or whenever.
00:36:16.862 --> 00:36:21.282
And it's louder than this new stadium is ever going to be. And in some ways,
00:36:21.282 --> 00:36:24.315
Andy, it has been hard for you to kind of figure out what it is.
00:36:24.600 --> 00:36:29.464
And it really is that. And you really put the pin on it where it's...
00:36:30.393 --> 00:36:37.647
The loud fans are, you know, my mom, who, you know, in my family was very low
00:36:37.647 --> 00:36:41.846
working class people. My dad was the police officer. My mom was a,
00:36:42.327 --> 00:36:44.112
you know, worked in retail. Okay.
00:36:44.837 --> 00:36:48.465
We rented our home for long periods of time, you know, in our life.
00:36:48.849 --> 00:36:52.687
So that we could, my mom could afford to go to have season tickets for me and
00:36:52.687 --> 00:36:56.185
her. Right. Like, that was something she could afford.
00:36:56.487 --> 00:37:01.797
The idea that now that that same person in that same circumstance could could
00:37:01.797 --> 00:37:04.007
enjoy and season tickets is is
00:37:04.007 --> 00:37:07.923
an impossibility. It's just it's completely priced out for those people.
00:37:08.143 --> 00:37:13.437
And I will tell you, good or bad, those people are they're going to be sometimes
00:37:13.437 --> 00:37:17.227
maybe too loud and a little too rowdy. Right. But to that, they are going to
00:37:17.227 --> 00:37:19.527
be the ones that are going to go out there and go crazy.
00:37:21.577 --> 00:37:25.697
When we tend to get into a little different tax bracket, that tends to kind
00:37:25.697 --> 00:37:30.237
of moderate our behavior at times. If you're going out,
00:37:32.424 --> 00:37:35.497
to entertain clients, for example.
00:37:40.897 --> 00:37:44.097
You're not going to be... like you got you,
00:37:44.577 --> 00:37:49.127
i gotta make sure this client has a good time you know oh man hope nothing embarrassing
00:37:49.127 --> 00:37:53.937
happens hope that you know somebody doesn't hassle them you know that type of stuff yes in some ways
00:37:54.277 --> 00:37:57.887
you have to moderate you have to kind of moderate your behavior it's the opposite
00:37:57.887 --> 00:38:02.277
of what you what they're if you're wanting like crazy loudness and atmosphere
00:38:02.277 --> 00:38:04.715
it's the opposite of that yes
00:38:05.081 --> 00:38:08.680
and like look i mean if you want a loud stadium it's real simple,
00:38:09.335 --> 00:38:14.457
you have a loud 300 section and you have a loud 100 section yeah exactly right
00:38:14.457 --> 00:38:18.057
so if it's a three you know oh and by the way all these new stadiums like they
00:38:18.057 --> 00:38:22.077
have like a 700 section oh bananas it's like you know like
00:38:22.497 --> 00:38:28.335
levels after levels levels after levels it's like 100 it's like the you know but i mean it's.
00:38:30.292 --> 00:38:34.442
It's going, that's the way it's going to go. It is what it's going to be.
00:38:34.512 --> 00:38:37.352
I mean, it is a back-in-my-day type kind of vibe.
00:38:37.752 --> 00:38:44.362
And so all I'm saying is that when, I think people just have this thought in
00:38:44.362 --> 00:38:49.337
their head that this is going to be the loudest stadium, and it's not.
00:38:49.441 --> 00:38:56.272
Because it's not designed for the people that are going to be the loudest stadium in the world.
00:38:56.392 --> 00:38:59.269
It's just, it's not designed, and it's not priced for those people.
00:38:59.635 --> 00:39:03.992
The interesting thing wrestlemania will probably be pretty loud you know a a,
00:39:04.552 --> 00:39:09.332
reasonably priced concert you know may be pretty loud unfortunately,
00:39:09.872 --> 00:39:13.742
your your chiefs and let's be all let's also be honest some of this has to do
00:39:13.742 --> 00:39:19.062
with success right the fact that the chiefs are have had the success they've
00:39:19.062 --> 00:39:23.164
had that's a huge part of why it's so expensive you know me and you,
00:39:23.692 --> 00:39:30.159
i mean there was many times many times where you actually by buying season tickets you lost money,
00:39:30.641 --> 00:39:35.752
right because you would walk past people selling tickets right next to you for
00:39:35.752 --> 00:39:37.662
ten dollars where you you bought
00:39:37.662 --> 00:39:43.152
season tickets in august right for 60 bucks and i'm this is how long i,
00:39:43.632 --> 00:39:48.192
think of the numbers i'm talking andy tell you how long right but to that that
00:39:48.192 --> 00:39:50.933
would have that was started to happen right because they were garbage.
00:39:51.235 --> 00:39:57.012
So you kind of felt like a sucker for buying season tickets because, but now you know.
00:39:57.872 --> 00:40:01.942
It is a bit of the opposite where you're still, even though season tickets have
00:40:01.942 --> 00:40:08.042
gotten expensive, to buy them singly each game, you know, especially if they're
00:40:08.042 --> 00:40:11.492
playing well and in it, is extremely expensive too.
00:40:11.492 --> 00:40:15.532
I was going to say everything's aftermarket, right?
00:40:16.332 --> 00:40:20.132
Secondary, you're not buying from the team. Well, the interesting thing too.
00:40:20.132 --> 00:40:23.584
And I was like, if you and I wanted, if we said, hey, we're going to go out, we're,
00:40:26.640 --> 00:40:31.940
The first year you pay face value, you pay full freight.
00:40:33.597 --> 00:40:39.622
Then you start getting the discounts after the second year. You start getting the legacy pricing.
00:40:40.340 --> 00:40:43.047
Anyway, I mean, I just think that it's one of those things where they're just...
00:40:45.368 --> 00:40:48.973
I think that's what had to happen with that stadium. I don't think that...
00:40:50.395 --> 00:40:54.077
I always kind of felt like the Chiefs are going to move to Kansas.
00:40:54.077 --> 00:40:57.600
They didn't need to. but they were going to because,
00:40:58.340 --> 00:41:03.672
I mean, the fact of the matter is, Jackson County was given a bad deal.
00:41:05.432 --> 00:41:09.252
They were purposely presented a bad deal. Citizens rejected it.
00:41:09.652
--> 00:41:12.052
Doggone it, now we've got to go shop this thing around.
00:41:13.137 --> 00:41:15.632
I mean, they played it like a fiddle. They played it like a fiddle.
00:41:15.672 --> 00:41:22.012
Kansas was able to come up with the package that made it make sense financially.
00:41:22.012 --> 00:41:23.463
They got the land out there.
00:41:24.012 --> 00:41:28.172
You can build new instead of trying to— But let's say this, and then we're getting
00:41:28.172 --> 00:41:30.412
9-0 tight, but I will say this.
00:41:31.132 --> 00:41:34.986
When will Kansas and Missouri stop doing this to each other?
00:41:35.251 --> 00:41:42.043
Because what Kansas needs to know is that this competition between Missouri,
00:41:42.264 --> 00:41:45.770
because I think it's fair to say that Kansas dropped the bag off, baby.
00:41:46.632 --> 00:41:53.892
So some of the reason Missouri lost was because Kansas said, Take it all baby You,
00:41:55.012 --> 00:42:01.172
know this is a deal Of a lifetime right And so I think it's fair Like I said
00:42:01.172 --> 00:42:03.512
there was a whole John Oliver Show about it where.
00:42:04.732 --> 00:42:10.542
What Kansas and Missouri do to Each other ultimately Ends up only hurting us
00:42:10.542 --> 00:42:16.269
And only hurting Kansas and Missouri And it's these temporary Wins back and forth right,
00:42:16.832 --> 00:42:21.680
It's this win that Kansas To your point Governor Kelly's out there You know puffing up,
00:42:22.652 --> 00:42:25.662
Chess is a weird choice with Governor Kelly, but to that, you know,
00:42:25.662 --> 00:42:27.602
she's out there, you know, and she should.
00:42:27.602 --> 00:42:30.770
It's a big win for her. Right. But it's a loss for Missouri.
00:42:31.258 --> 00:42:34.873
Well, 30 years from now, Andy, it may absolutely flip flop.
00:42:35.204 --> 00:42:38.942
Right. We because that's what so many companies, my wife's company,
00:42:39.372 --> 00:42:43.012
you know, has has gone from Missouri to Kansas three times.
00:42:43.012 --> 00:42:48.292
It feels like since she's been there, you know, so and it's all based on this
00:42:48.292 --> 00:42:53.141
competitive. We were cutting taxes here. Well, now we got to cut taxes to get the people back.
00:42:53.571 --> 00:42:58.612
And no one is winning. No one is winning. It's just these small little battles
00:42:58.612 --> 00:42:59.869
that win. And hopefully...
00:43:00.549 --> 00:43:05.878
And I think Governor, or Mayor Lucas, I think when you lose,
00:43:06.098 --> 00:43:10.508
this is the kind of language you would speak, but he is starting to speak that
00:43:10.508 --> 00:43:14.498
language of like, let's start working KCK and KCMO,
00:43:15.358 --> 00:43:16.998
as a team, you know,
00:43:17.618 --> 00:43:22.718
and we'll probably benefit each other more than this whole like,
00:43:22.718 --> 00:43:25.284
we're, you know, spiting each other constantly.
00:43:26.938 --> 00:43:31.358
I think it's just one of those things, too, to where it's just a
– I mean,
00:43:31.358 --> 00:43:38.758
look, if you fight it long enough, you end up with the Kansas Chiefs and the
00:43:38.758 --> 00:43:41.498
Indiana Bears. Correct.
00:43:43.938 --> 00:43:49.358
It's not just happening to us. So any of these cities that sit on a state line
00:43:49.358 --> 00:43:50.278
– That one's even wilder.
00:43:50.278 --> 00:43:54.858
We're sitting here concerned about our situation. I would argue that whole Chicago
00:43:54.858 --> 00:43:57.188
Bears situation is truly bananas.
00:43:57.188 --> 00:44:02.938
I mean, it doesn't make any sense. I mean, let's just say, I think just across
00:44:02.938 --> 00:44:07.028
state lines, and Andy, it's a little farther drive for us. I think in 10 years,
00:44:07.028 --> 00:44:10.698
we will forget that it happened almost.
00:44:12.058 --> 00:44:15.738
I think for the Chiefs, it's really one of those things where I don't know that
00:44:15.738 --> 00:44:19.258
I would go to any more or less games because it's out there. There you go.
00:44:19.578 --> 00:44:24.738
Like if I wanted to go to WrestleMania or if I wanted to go to the Final Four
00:44:25.138 --> 00:44:31.419
or if my favorite artist is so popular that they can fill up the stadium.
00:44:32.394 --> 00:44:36.353
I don't think the extra 30 minutes is going to, I'm working my day around it.
00:44:36.881 --> 00:44:41.184
I'm glad. I'm glad, again, just like we talked about, for sporting situation,
00:44:42.020 --> 00:44:45.320
I'd sucked when they moved, but I'm glad they moved where they did.
00:44:45.320 --> 00:44:49.690
It kept it still attainable for me. It's a little bit of an inconvenience to
00:44:49.690 --> 00:44:55.330
drive a little farther, but to your point, it's really not keeping me from going.
00:44:57.265 --> 00:45:02.720
If that's your team, and that's where they play, that's you're gonna go out
00:45:02.720 --> 00:45:04.580
there right so I mean I don't care
00:45:04.580 --> 00:45:07.894
I watch it on the TV anyway I don't you know what I mean again I don't,
00:45:08.341 --> 00:45:13.312
well and I think that's that's the other thing too like for me with the with the NFL,
00:45:14.061 --> 00:45:18.967
I don't mind going to the games but man the TV viewing experience like that
00:45:19.077 --> 00:45:21.346
you know we were talking about the World Cup and,
00:45:22.578 --> 00:45:25.575
You know, you're talking about, well, why could they grow grass for the World
00:45:25.575 --> 00:45:26.751
Cup? Well, I don't know. It's summer.
00:45:29.455 --> 00:45:32.415
I know, but some of these are just more. No, I'm just saying.
00:45:32.975 --> 00:45:37.532
No, I'm just saying. But what I was going to say is, as a country,
00:45:37.990 --> 00:45:43.335
we want to compare everything's viewership to the NFL. Right?
00:45:43.855 --> 00:45:49.535
Look at all of these sporting events. And 19 of the top 20 things were the NFL.
00:45:49.935 --> 00:45:53.095
Look at the NFL on a regular Sunday afternoon. they get this it's
like.
00:45:53.945 --> 00:45:58.131
Yeah so we haven't recorded two seas with a pod because i've been outside,
00:45:58.944 --> 00:46:04.055
yeah exactly like i leave the house when it's nice out when i can go outside
00:46:04.055 --> 00:46:10.107
right like when it's 27 degrees with 15 mile an hour north wind,
00:46:10.658 --> 00:46:14.275
yeah and i'm compared with okay do you want to go do something outside,
00:46:14.872 --> 00:46:19.325
with in kansas city where like we don't even really get like snow where you
00:46:19.325 --> 00:46:24.287
can go out and like ski and like hike and play and stuff like that. We just get cold.
00:46:24.949 --> 00:46:30.495
So when you present me with, hey, bud, tell you what, you can sit here and watch
00:46:30.495 --> 00:46:34.855
this NFL football game that you will enjoy that we're going to put on a fantastic
00:46:34.855 --> 00:46:38.475
show and the games are typically, you know what, I think I'm just going to go
00:46:38.475 --> 00:46:39.333
ahead and sit right here.
00:46:39.763 --> 00:46:42.137
I'm going to watch this and I'm not going to go out there.
00:46:42.642 --> 00:46:47.615
Whereas like when my nephew watches every Royals game, Like,
00:46:47.615 --> 00:46:52.775
I can't be in the house on a Sunday afternoon when the weather's like this and
00:46:52.775 --> 00:46:56.160
I could, like, be out in the pool or be on the lake or,
00:46:56.944 --> 00:46:58.761
you know, something like that, be outside.
00:46:59.448 --> 00:47:00.893
You know, especially, I mean...
00:47:02.449 --> 00:47:06.588
We won't get into the Royals today because we, there's just.
00:47:07.511 --> 00:47:11.284
There's no way. Spending any amount. Let's just put it this way.
00:47:11.580 --> 00:47:13.513
Let's go full parent on the Royals.
00:47:14.071 --> 00:47:16.437
We're not mad. We're just disappointed.
00:47:17.677 --> 00:47:21.897
Exactly. 100%. So I think that's. But like, I'm not going to go,
00:47:21.897 --> 00:47:25.529
I'm not going to go out like that. You know, I mean, I'm going to, I'm going to go.
00:47:26.181 --> 00:47:30.017
I'm also not going to watch them right to that, to your point of like,
00:47:30.017 --> 00:47:36.543
I'm not going to sit inside and watch TV of them when they're terrible and it's a nice day outside.
00:47:36.961 --> 00:47:43.217
Again, to your point of if the Chiefs are good or bad, it is probably the best
00:47:43.217 --> 00:47:48.797
option on a December 12th in Kansas City. Did you watch.
00:47:51.195 --> 00:47:55.717
The games after Christmas? Did you watch the Raiders game? I always watch all
00:47:55.717 --> 00:48:00.697
the games. I find them, to be quite honest, fascinating no matter what. I just enjoy them.
00:48:01.077 --> 00:48:04.134
Did you watch the Titans game?
00:48:05.342 --> 00:48:09.977
I'm pretty sure. I can't remember that again. Of course, I wasn't glued to every play.
00:48:11.057 --> 00:48:15.814
That would be weird. But yes, I sat in front of the TV and watched...
00:48:16.232 --> 00:48:18.292
I specifically... I specifically...
00:48:18.859 --> 00:48:22.407
I specifically get pissed off at the Titans game.
00:48:23.138 --> 00:48:28.505
I remember. They were out. Mahomes was out. They're out of the playoffs.
00:48:29.105 --> 00:48:33.085
Really? I know. Exactly. I think we talked about him, yes, because,
00:48:33.085 --> 00:48:37.285
again, it's very much like a TV show.
00:48:37.665 --> 00:48:41.235
It's no different than, you know, it's the ups and downs.
00:48:41.235 --> 00:48:45.024
It's the drama involved. I think, again, that's what's so interesting about
00:48:45.389 --> 00:48:47.785
the Chiefs kind of not making the playoffs.
00:48:47.785 --> 00:48:52.485
And then this year, right, is, yes, I think we all, as Chiefs fans,
00:48:52.485 --> 00:48:58.148
would want them to just win eight straight Super Bowls and never lose and it's 17-0 every season.
00:48:58.566 --> 00:49:00.845
I like where you're going here. Exactly.
00:49:01.345 --> 00:49:05.695
I'd take that. But to that, there's also some really interesting things about
00:49:05.695 --> 00:49:07.575
this year based on it being so
00:49:07.575 --> 00:49:12.965
different and they are coming off a year of struggle and all these things.
00:49:14.543 --> 00:49:15.285
They've got us.
00:49:18.945 --> 00:49:23.625
I don't know if we've really done our predictions, but I I think we're both
00:49:23.625 --> 00:49:28.860
on the page of Chiefs 17-0 and winning each game 21-28-0.
00:49:29.098 --> 00:49:30.021
Like 100%.
00:49:30.645 --> 00:49:33.865
Yeah, I mean, I don't see a loss on the schedule. That's MVP.
00:49:33.865 --> 00:49:38.645
Yeah, I mean, throws for 8,000 yards and 70 touchdowns.
00:49:39.105 --> 00:49:46.505
Like Uncle Rico level. Yeah. You know, stands. Yeah, throwing balls over mountains. I mean, yeah.
00:49:47.469 --> 00:49:52.409
I think the reason why Pat doesn't break the all-time yardage record is because
00:49:52.409 --> 00:49:55.509
he's being pulled at halftime of every game because they're up so big.
00:49:55.529 --> 00:49:58.949
Right, exactly. Why haven't they? So Justin Fields is playing,
00:49:58.949 --> 00:50:00.769
and you're seeing Garrett.
00:50:01.518 --> 00:50:03.689
Mahomes is playing the first two quarters.
00:50:04.829 --> 00:50:08.257
Then Justin Fields plays the third quarter, and Nussmeier plays the fourth.
00:50:10.709 --> 00:50:14.669
I like Garrett Nussmeier to have 17 touchdowns. He's going to have one a game.
00:50:15.849 --> 00:50:20.689
He's going to have an underrated season here. It's not because of injury. Not because of injury.
00:50:21.249 --> 00:50:24.308
No, put him on your fantasy team because he's going to get the mop-up time.
00:50:24.569 --> 00:50:29.439
And they're going to let him throw the ball in mop-up time. Like, oh, my God.
00:50:29.818 --> 00:50:32.599
And people are going to be like, I can't believe that Andy's up 35-0.
00:50:32.599 --> 00:50:35.109
He's letting Garrett Nussmeyer throw
touchdowns. And it's like,
00:50:35.109 --> 00:50:40.447
listen, if you can't tackle our fourth-string wide receiver,
00:50:41.009 --> 00:50:42.240
I don't know what to tell you.
00:50:44.449 --> 00:50:47.424
Kenneth Walker is going to run for 3,000 yards It's going to be amazing,
00:50:48.817 --> 00:50:56.949
I just hope we beat the Broncos If we go 2-15 Andy I'll take going back to beat,
00:50:57.869 --> 00:50:59.769
the Broncos Every year again.
00:51:02.469 --> 00:51:07.043
Last topic on the Chiefs Are you looking forward to Tony Romo calling the games?
00:51:07.728 --> 00:51:12.009
Any Tony Romo news that you'd like to talk about what the...
00:51:12.009 --> 00:51:16.608
Really quiet offseason for Tony. I haven't really heard a lot from him.
00:51:17.125 --> 00:51:24.692
No, I should again, you know, we shouldn't laugh at Tony Romo. I mean, Romo. I.
00:51:26.687 --> 00:51:31.652
When people, I just, and I don't know Tony Romo. I don't know Tony Romo.
00:51:32.432 --> 00:51:37.842
And so he might be just the most down-to-earth, wonderful, awesome human being.
00:51:37.842 --> 00:51:43.532
And this might be a real shame and an out-of-character thing for Tony Romo.
00:51:43.969 --> 00:51:50.692
From what I saw and from what I've seen from Tony Romo, I feel like this is
00:51:50.692 --> 00:51:56.292
much more kind of something that probably should have happened a long time ago for Tony.
00:51:56.292 --> 00:52:02.752
A little bit of humbling because, you know, again, I think, and you made a great
00:52:02.752 --> 00:52:07.742
point that we all have probably made a similar mistake in our lives as Tony has made.
00:52:07.742 --> 00:52:11.802
And whether we got, you know, kind of in trouble for it or not,
00:52:11.802 --> 00:52:16.165
you know, it is something that happens quite often, unfortunately, in some ways.
00:52:16.734 --> 00:52:24.187
But I would also say that I, as a almost 50-year-old, I don't find myself doing that.
00:52:25.364 --> 00:52:29.636
Tony, I'm pretty sure, is older than me. I don't think he's older than us.
00:52:30.294 --> 00:52:35.528
That's a great, great, great, really, that is like the age of human being that
00:52:35.528 --> 00:52:37.922
I'm not sure of, right? It's always in that.
00:52:38.317 --> 00:52:42.738
My guess is, yes, you're right, sadly, because I just picture him being older,
00:52:42.738 --> 00:52:46.038
but to that, he probably is young. I bet he's probably early 40s.
00:52:46.038 --> 00:52:48.858
I'm going to look, but while you're talking. What we know is he is a,
00:52:49.358 --> 00:52:51.767
what we do know is that he's a full-grown adult.
00:52:52.582 --> 00:52:56.338
And Andy, I would say again, there's, there's a way to handle it he's.
00:52:58.136 --> 00:53:04.728
46 46 so younger but very similar age let's just say and there's a way to handle
00:53:04.728 --> 00:53:07.582
as well kind of more the more that it's come out,
00:53:08.522 --> 00:53:13.118
which is unfortunate me and you if we were to
have the same thing happen to
00:53:13.118 --> 00:53:17.398
us we will you know we no one would see this video okay because no one would,
00:53:17.851 --> 00:53:23.401
okay and but i don't i don't think that Andy would act as Tony Romo acted personally.
00:53:24.393 --> 00:53:25.898
And again, I don't know.
00:53:26.998 --> 00:53:29.518
I hope I wouldn't either. Nobody looks...
00:53:30.633 --> 00:53:34.958
We always see these mug shops and stuff like that. Nobody looks good. Nobody looks good.
00:53:36.158 --> 00:53:40.281
Again, now you have the problem of the cameras.
00:53:41.058 --> 00:53:45.094
And so you really have the whole full video of the experience there.
00:53:45.697 --> 00:53:50.718
And again, to me, it is a guy who probably hasn't had a whole lot of a lot of
00:53:50.718 --> 00:53:54.858
you know accountability in his life which we you know again when you you're you're,
00:53:55.438 --> 00:53:59.318
a foot you're the quarterback of a very you know of the cowboys of all things
00:53:59.318 --> 00:54:03.118
i think you've got probably lived a pretty charmed life for for a while and,
00:54:03.618 --> 00:54:06.178
that was kind of the attitude that i felt like you shown,
00:54:06.758 --> 00:54:11.029
instead of saying hey man i messed up you know man i'm i'm you know,
00:54:11.672 --> 00:54:15.869
you know what i mean this this is a mistake my bad it was a bit more of like,
00:54:16.455 --> 00:54:21.482
Hey you know who I am Right and like you know Does that make sense,
00:54:22.545 --> 00:54:26.658
No I can't You know who I am I'm a friggin' little man Yeah.
00:54:29.272 --> 00:54:33.962
And it's right. And like whether you say it explicitly or that is absolutely
00:54:33.962 --> 00:54:38.055
your air of like, how dare you do this to me?
00:54:38.235 --> 00:54:43.252
I think me and you, right, would be like in a bit more a different vibe, right?
00:54:43.252 --> 00:54:47.532
We would be in a bit more like, sorry, my bad. Please let me go,
00:54:47.532 --> 00:54:51.282
buddy. And I'll do better next time. Right. That wasn't the vibe.
00:54:51.282 --> 00:54:55.046
Right. I think the vibe. Also, just so we're all clear, does not,
00:54:55.314 --> 00:54:57.445
does not. That doesn't work either.
00:54:57.921 --> 00:55:03.802
No, exactly, and nor should it Again, this is poor behavior No matter how you're
00:55:03.802 --> 00:55:05.583
trying to get out of it Let's just say.
00:55:06.272 --> 00:55:11.342
Or how you react to it when you do get caught I do think though Folks that are
00:55:11.342 --> 00:55:15.579
in Tony's situation Are probably used to a certain level Of accountability
00:55:15.916 --> 00:55:20.902
He got a different level this time And he reacted accordingly Which makes me
00:55:20.902 --> 00:55:24.438
chuckle It is not a funny thing, again, the man has a family,
00:55:24.896 --> 00:55:29.082
He could have hurt someone Including himself I don't have any personal vendetta
00:55:29.082 --> 00:55:31.584
against Tony Romo. I think he's a terrible announcer.
00:55:31.979 --> 00:55:38.062
I think the world has come a little closer to my opinion than the opposite,
00:55:38.062 --> 00:55:39.653
personally, this seems to be.
00:55:40.030 --> 00:55:43.072
But to that, I hope for the best for the men because, you know,
00:55:43.072 --> 00:55:48.782
obviously, you know, this is a tough time, you know, for everyone involved.
00:55:48.782 --> 00:55:54.529
So as much as I really enjoyed texting you, Tony Romo, it's not even that funny.
00:55:54.720 --> 00:56:01.011
I mean, again, it's a really bad joke, but, you know, yeah, he'll be fine.
00:56:01.243 --> 00:56:03.232
Tony's going to be all right. Yeah, that's the thing.
00:56:04.512 --> 00:56:10.402
I mean, hey, we all learn from mistakes, Andy, and I make them every day.
00:56:11.238 --> 00:56:17.522
There's different levels of them, and I could have easily made similar mistakes.
00:56:17.522 --> 00:56:22.227
You know, again, this could happen to anyone at any time. Your point is fair.
00:56:22.982 --> 00:56:25.952
I just, again, you know, it's kind of.
00:56:28.212 --> 00:56:31.296
How you react. And again, I hope that Tony takes this as...
00:56:32.213 --> 00:56:35.908
A warning sign and says, hey, man, I'm just going to do things a little differently.
00:56:35.908 --> 00:56:41.368
And what will we always all say when these things happen?
00:56:42.021 --> 00:56:45.783
What are these rich human beings doing driving around?
00:56:46.213 --> 00:56:53.308
What are they doing? They have, like, just, again, I have a buddy on retainer, man.
00:56:53.308 --> 00:56:59.018
I mean, I just, again, Andy, I promise you, if I play quarterback for the Dallas
00:56:59.018 --> 00:57:05.124
Cowboys somehow the next year, okay, and I signed a $50 million contract. I'm hollering at you.
00:57:05.966 --> 00:57:09.332
It might not be you, but you hit me up with somebody. I'm going to pay them
00:57:09.332 --> 00:57:11.958
$100,000, $200,000 a year.
00:57:12.212 --> 00:57:14.146
They're my driver. Right? They're my driver.
00:57:15.698 --> 00:57:19.298
You don't do nothing else. You're kicking it. Play some Fortnite. I don't know.
00:57:20.498 --> 00:57:26.018
Watch some NFL. But when I call you, you're picking me up and you're taking me places. I mean.
00:57:28.843 --> 00:57:33.759
These guys have people like that. Like, I know business, I know people that,
00:57:34.288 --> 00:57:36.029
do not make NFL-type money.
00:57:36.552 --> 00:57:40.277
Like, I know business guys that have these type of people that it's like,
00:57:41.759 --> 00:57:48.220
Yeah, I remember when I was buying the toner at HR Block. They had a guy.
00:57:48.975 --> 00:57:52.724
His job was literally to... Mr. Wolf.
00:57:53.932 --> 00:57:57.702
They would all drive to the Schaumburg Airport, executive airport,
00:57:57.702 --> 00:58:03.719
they'd get in a plane. He would fly them to the executive airport where their factory was.
00:58:06.510 --> 00:58:11.206
Then he would get
out of the plane, and he would drive them to the factory.
00:58:11.961 --> 00:58:16.662
And then he would just kind of, he had an office in the factory and he just,
00:58:17.446 --> 00:58:20.975
stayed there until they were like, hey, man, we're ready to go.
00:58:21.736 --> 00:58:24.250
And then he flew them back home.
00:58:25.346 --> 00:58:28.138
And that was, and then like, if they wanted to go somewhere,
00:58:28.446 --> 00:58:32.039
they called him and they're like, hey, man, we want to go here.
00:58:32.300 --> 00:58:35.950
And he went and got them. Like, that's what his.
00:58:36.636 --> 00:58:40.481
Whole job was. And he, and he was probably.
00:58:41.555 --> 00:58:47.514
The highest paid employee in the company. Exactly. How important is this guy?
00:58:47.514 --> 00:58:48.354
I mean, that's what I'm saying.
00:58:49.274 --> 00:58:50.794
This is an invaluable human.
00:58:51.946 --> 00:58:55.539
I think there was two or three main owner dudes.
00:58:57.823 --> 00:59:03.228
And he was basically those two or three guys that can call. Like if they wanted to go somewhere.
00:59:04.294 --> 00:59:08.474
I would love this job. Hook me up. Why can't I be this guy?
00:59:08.774 --> 00:59:11.894
I would be this guy for Tony Romo. Give me a call, Tony. So here's the thing
00:59:11.894 --> 00:59:13.892
is, I think you just got to be a single person.
00:59:14.560 --> 00:59:17.954
It is tough. You got to be a single person, right? You got to drop everything.
00:59:18.414 --> 00:59:19.394
You just drop everything.
00:59:20.294 --> 00:59:23.754
He would have to drop everything and come get them. Yeah, which again,
00:59:23.754 --> 00:59:25.810
though, I mean, my kids are getting older and older.
00:59:27.774 --> 00:59:30.544
He was basically just like, yeah, they'd just be like, hey, come get me.
00:59:30.554 --> 00:59:34.134
And he's like, okay, I'm on my way. Wow, to your point. All right,
00:59:34.134 --> 00:59:36.861
buddy, well, that's our new job. That's our new job.
00:59:38.336 --> 00:59:42.254
Hey, let's just say this. I threw that scenario at you.
00:59:42.411 --> 00:59:46.921
Just, hey, you get to that point in day. You're my driver. A driver guy.
00:59:47.223 --> 00:59:54.236
Holler at me, and I will be honored to do this job for you. The driver guy. Let me fly. Let me drive.
00:59:55.114 --> 01:00:00.174
I'll find the pilot. Right. So if you won't put me into charge of finding the
01:00:00.174 --> 01:00:01.997
guy, I'll find us a good guy.
01:00:02.502 --> 01:00:05.451
Don't let me fly. But yeah, I'll be that for you. I would be honored.
01:00:06.514 --> 01:00:09.990
Yeah, you can be my driver, not my pilot. I've seen you fly. It's no good.
01:00:11.354 --> 01:00:16.894
And you've seen me drive. I'll do better. I'll work on it. It's my job now. It's my job now.
01:00:18.874 --> 01:00:23.164
All right, buddy. We might be able to catch up next week. I don't know.
01:00:23.164 --> 01:00:27.154
Let's see how this goes. Let's hope. Frost fingers. Hard to make things concrete.
01:00:27.154 --> 01:00:30.874
You never know. But to that. And we like to keep the audience on their toes.
01:00:30.874 --> 01:00:34.568
You just, you know. When are we going to drop? Oh, man, they dropped one. They dropped one.
01:00:35.119 --> 01:00:38.515
All right, brother. Talk soon. See you soon. Bye-bye. See you, buddy. Bye.
