1973 Podcast Episode 75
Now. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls should roll ball ages. Here we go. 75th episode. All star cast. We had somebody in the queue. Some other guys in the queue couldn't make it. But let's go brought some old faces back. Rock. Our number one fan. Yeah. We're only a second parents on the podcast. Here we go. We're going to have some fun. We're going to get things going. Darren's going to comment on himself this week. So we're about to have some fun. So Ed, we're going to start it off with what we usually do. But we're going to do kind of a best of episode. And we're going to talk. We're going to start with you. And what is your favorite email from the first 75 episodes? Well, my first. This is my favorite email. And I think a lot of us will remember this is back from the February 22nd show. And it's from Paul from New York. And the title of it is your podcast sucks. And I mean, you know, we haven't heard from Paul. We're kind of curious about where is that, you know? So I mean, this was the this was like one that really kind of got us rolling. So, well, you know, this this was the email. What an absolute dog shit podcast. This is a perfect example of guys living in their mother's basement, much of New England homers who couldn't get a warehouse with $1,000 bills on it. You need a better host and the crew needs to show a bus to get around. And the last part is fuck you guys. That was Paul from New York. That was my favorite email. I mean, that, you know, I mean, he didn't, you know, he wasn't like dicky done. You know what I mean? And then we did we get kicked out of that whole house. We kicked out of better. I don't think I've ever had a $1,000 bill statement to be quite awesome. Yeah. So can we still reply to Paul after all this time? Fuck you, Paul. Yeah, absolutely. Fuck you, Paul. Not even a good name. I want to I want to ask on the one fan, Darren, Darren, you watched every episode, do you have a favorite email that you remember that really stuck out there? You were like, that's a good one. I still have to go back when I don't know if that was the one Tommy answered the where it was just saying how if it's so shitty and bad, how come you're still watching it? I think that's that that one just got me and stuff like that. And I think they still responded in just the way Tommy responded back. I just got to chuckle after that one, because I can figure all the haters and stuff. If you're not really watching it, but it always gets me when people still want to comment, like, well, I don't like that and stuff. But let me just add this. Oh, okay. So that I think I don't know which one we was talking about, but that one always stuck in my mind, like, okay, you're going to complain about all this, but okay, but thank you. You're still watching it and stuff. So that one was my favorite. I believe if we could go back to it, that's I think that's what side the shitty picks if if I am correct, Tom, do you remember that? I embrace the song. So, we'll go to you, Tom. What is your favorite email for the first 75 episodes? I like the emails that have, like, ask you about, like, for a list of guys. So my favorite was from Stanley, from Marfa, Texas, who asked us who the greatest player from all four major sports to have never won a championship. I like, I like those questions like that, where we can do like a round table, and it's not all we all have different answers. So it's not all like cookie cutter. And we all agree with one another. So I like those type of things. I'm going to ask the man from the Brock Street, Scotty, the other favorite email or rebuttal that we've had for an email that you can remember. So I have to watch the shows. I'm not in. Well, yeah, of course. You're going to support the trope. Actually, what I like kind of similar to Tommy's but was the favorite trophy. And I'm shocked that you still allow Brad to be part of this podcast because of the World Series, the NFL, come on, I'm someone who actually got to drink out of the Stanley Cup. It is incredible. It is the trophy. You see the World Series one every time they hold it, it looks like it breaks right during the time you start seeing the world. It does. It definitely breaks. And then I would say NFL number two, but not even close. We know the guys who handle the Stanley Cup. Like nobody knows the guys who handle the NHL. NFL trophy. I think Brad's pick that when we were talking about that was the World Series of dice. We were just kind of blown away by that. So Bradford, I'm coming to you. What is your all-time favorite email? And I want to say, I hope it's not my pick. First of all, rebuttal to Scotty Tuhati. And I will die on this. You cannot say the Stanley Cup is the best trophy in all the sports. When they let jabronis drink out of it. That is not prestige. That is just extra regular for people. The NFL trophy and the World Series trophy are prestigious. We can't get within five feet of them because they're blocked off and guarded by police. There's prestige there. So thank you. There's no touch. And you actually made me remember a couple stories. So when I had the Stanley Cup at my brewery, I was actually talking with the handler. That name is Brock Street Brewery. We were located in two for four Brock Street with the Ontario Chris. So you know, when you come and they dislike anybody put the Stanley Cup in their brewery, just anybody. Only the best brewery in Ontario. So in which we were named, but like the guys who had the cup. So the guys who handled the cup talked about when Ovechkin filled it with $20,000 of caviar. When another player that they wouldn't need filled it to the rim with cocaine. Like this is this actually kind of okay with that. Caviar and awesome. Brad for snow hunt you. Yeah. The trophy itself is a legend. So if I could read between the lines with Brad's response, even though he hasn't answered the email part of it. Now you're saying that the MLB trophy and Lombardi trophy are into lock and key is that what you're trying to say, the demographic that likes those two sports I'm allowed to touch it. Is that what you're saying? No, I'm just saying it's prestigious. You're not going to snort a rail off the Lombardi trophy because we respect the prestige and the history of this trophy. So anyway, my favorite email, and I can't believe nobody said this yet, because we have a secret admirer. It's never been revealed that she's never revealed which one of us. Obviously it's Ed, let's be honest, that she's in love with, but it's never been revealed. So we all collectively assume Ed is the sex machine. So I don't know. I'm still waiting for her to email us back and tell us which one it is. It's the couch. What girl doesn't want to get on that couch with him, you know? It was Julie, right? From where was it? Does anybody remember? Jesus, I can't remember. Nope. It was so memorable. Nobody remembers. Hey, Chris. Hey, Chris. By the way, it was a free couch. Look, that was like one of my very first podcasts for y'all. It's Dr. Bush Yellow behind me anymore. It's white. He's single ready to mingle, ladies, more secret admirers. I think, you know, I'd like to know the overall ratio of demographic of ladies that watch the podcast versus dudes, because that's not going to be as 4.8 percent. There you go, 4.8 percent. There you go. And with the analytics. I'm taking the under. And I guess the question, were they always ladies? Now a day, you got to add. Chris, favorite email so far? Yeah, I'm with Tom all day on this. I love the emails that we could literally fill up a whole hour of our times, just talking about. So Stanley from Texas, about the sports one, the trophy. There was so many more, Mount Rushmore of wrestlers. That was one that we could spend all day on those. So those are the ones that I'm really into. Like you could literally, again, like he said, everybody has a different opinion. Everybody has a different, you know, idea of what they think. So like those emails to me with subject matter is endless. And I just feel like this could be so much for everybody to input. And I just love that. I'm so intrigued into hearing what everybody else is into too. So that's definitely all my favorites. I'm going to ask the elusive phantom, favorite email. You got to pick another one because as like minded individuals. You told me when you told me to come on here, you never told me there was going to be a homework involved. So much like electronics, you're taking this error. Now I'm not going to take the zero. Well, I mean, I got a little bit of recollection there. But I'll go with the ones that have to do with the coaching questions. Those are pretty good. I always like to hear whatever everybody kind of has a different experience when they coach sports. And it's kind of funny how, you know, everybody might think differently, but in big picture wise, everybody's kind of on the same wavelength. And where everybody thinks the same way, you want to think it would be so tough because you'll kind of hope that maybe like the parents might have the same thoughts as you where it's like, if you've got, if you've got a parent on your team and then they're acting, whatever, they're upset about something or anything like that. And it's like, if you're talking to somebody about it, they can always rationalize like, yeah, what's that person crazy? But then when they're the crazy person, they don't think that's a problem. It just kind of kind of, it cracks me up when it's like, everybody's living in the glass house. Everything's like, it's all for the kids. We're just going to have fun. And then tell something goes wrong with their kid. And now we're going to set the world on fire. Those are my favorite ones. Yeah, I think if I had to pick another one, I think the first one that really kind of grabbed everybody. And I don't know, I think coaching questions came in a couple of times before this one did, but I think it was the greatest sports movie of all time question. I think that that one really kind of made you take a step back, especially if you grew up watching a lot of movies, you know, the rent and movies era where it was watching all kinds of stuff and, you know, the mid 80s with cable and, you know, anything from chariot to fire to, you know, even if you weren't into that stuff, you kind of watched it because it was in that rotation of things that were on cable at the time HBO movie channel Cinemax. In the movie that was in the Elvis box. Things like that. Yes, it's movies that were hidden away from a very impressionable you. Yes. No, but I thought that was, you know, if I had to pick another question, I think that was the first one that we really got that. It was kind of like, well, we could really do a whole podcast on that, that question. I think Chris had said it or, you know, somebody else agreed that we could probably run with that one. I think we're doing half an hour episodes at the time too. So, um, yeah, so that's, um, let's, uh, best of the, for the first 75 by, you know, episode emails. So let's, let's get into other best of segments. How about, let's, let's switch to Tom's shitty pics, sponsored by Brock Street Brewery. Tom, we're going to start with you because it's your segment. What is your greatest shitty pic in 75 episodes? Got to be the South Pacific, dead on Celtics and five versus Dallas. Sorry, the money, right on the money. Scotty, you got to be happy with that. Representing the brewery and then, you know, kind of, and the sales stock. Oh, absolutely. Uh, can I, can I, can I do my shitty pic? I don't know if we're going to be able to see it here. Yeah, but the phantom sent me a shitty pic of, uh, him, Mac, Daddy, and on my cousin. Wow. And so that's, that's the shitty big that I'm like, Hey, a couple to the side. It can't be shown on a podcast. My wife don't watch this. Yeah. Technically you're just showing yourself in the foot. No matter. And can you get a coat of paint for Ryan? Yellow. It's called the boy's yellow. Everybody's got it. Is there more room on that free coach? There's a little free time. Me, you and the email. Try and pretend we're at the Roxy. The delving way. I don't think we can really add a lot of, uh, insight to best of shitty pics other than Tom. Do you think Tom? Do you think we could add anything to that? Like, as far as from a group perspective, Ed wants to join this conversation. I remember his shitty pic was when the Bruins were supposed to, uh, were supposed to win. And then collectively it was like on Empire Strikes Back from the planet explodes. You could see everybody's face just. Oh, no. That's the one I remember. Oh, yeah. Tom took the pants as he was right. That was my favorite. I think we were watching the, uh, the game really kind of via when it happened, right? So it happened live when we were doing the podcast. Yeah, two, two years ago when they lost an overtime. Yeah. Yeah. So I can also say some of it, Tom Shitti's pics. If you can see my Fandal account, there's zero dollars in it because I bet his Fandal is, uh, is shitty pics all the time. I'm just throwing you guys a bone. If you saw my Fandal account, I'm rolling in the coin. Oh, there you go. Reverse psychology, right, Thomas? Yes. You just kind of throw the odds and then you bet the opposite. Absolutely. So, so do you think that we could add as a collective group that I think that out of that email that we got kind of created something really cool, that kind of Tom made it into like a whole segment. And I believe Tom, that was the first segment that kind of like took off as far as like individual things that we, we kind of do now, right? Yep. Early on, you know, segments. I want to ask everybody on this one. We're going to start with Chris. Chris has got started doing a cooking segment. That's what he likes to do. Chris, what is your favorite segment out of what you've done so far? Oh, my favorite one's the one you haven't seen yet. It's coming up in a few weeks. I want to keep that a nice secret. You guys go ahead. All right. Well, you know what, I'm speaking of that. I'm going to drop the new segment in right here and we'll continue on with with the picks. Bradford, favorite segment from Chris's cooking. You made some lobster rolls, right? And this might sound weird, y'all being a, you know, a Southern Democrat down here in Mississippi. Dippy fire. I've never had a lobster roll. So that's always something that it's like on my list of top five things I want to try one day. I mean, how much do you think it costs a lobster a good lobster roll? I would say I would pay $12 for it. Do we know you're getting this the bun, homie? Charlie, $45. We can make it a crawdad roll if you want. Hey, now those, I've had, I've had it. And favorite cooking with Chris so far. Oh, I have to say, I really, I really enjoyed the first one with the pasta and I also enjoyed the lobster roll. One of those, those would be my two favorites. Everybody's pretty much in agreement with the lobster rolls been the best one and I like the ribs. I like the ice cream tool mine was the ribs ribs. Hey, I got in trouble for the ice cream tool. I work by the way. I had to take it down. I was riding that surfboard all around the freezer. Hey, Alicia, those ribs are great. And last day. Thank you for the ribs and could you see security on your way out? They're bittersweet. I'll say that. So yeah, Chris, the cooking with Chris thing is always great. It's something that we can add that, you know, you love to do and it's only in the early stages of it. So imagine, you know, even when we get to the hundredth episode, we'll have a bunch more to talk about with that. So, I want to talk about the man that's right beneath me, Bradford, in his tin foil hat segment. None of my house is not. I'm going to go to a segment that we get serious with. What has been your favorite conspiracy theory so far? Oh, the one I there's two. The one I really enjoyed presenting was the Malaysian flight 370. That's still today intrigues me. The one I have the most fun with because it gets everybody so route up is Travis Kelsey's girlfriend Taylor Swift. Still, I just get people like just burns their buttholes whenever I talk about her being a witch, like they don't want to hear anything other than that she's America sweetheart. But there's so much evidence there, man. It's really hard to deny it. So, and I'm not the only one that says that, by the way, there's a lot of people out there that they Taylor Swift is a witch. So, go Google it, man. Y'all go look it up and it you will be down the rabbit hole for hours. I'm going to ask the Phantom, another fellow conspiracy theorist. Favorite conspiracy theorist that Brad talked about so far? 10,000 a half. I like the Lavaise daughter. That one, like I said, he stole mine. Go figure. But I like the the one with like the Leviathan in the water forming the eye. That thing was sick. That one I had never really heard of before. But then, of course, after we get off, going to hit the old YouTube, dive in a little bit. Wild, wild stuff. Showing those and showing people on boats and stuff going by it. And a lot is like wicked still in like big, big areas of the ocean. Pretty cool stuff, it's crazy. And favorite 10,000 a half segment? Oh, I'm going to have to go with the Grand Canyon one. I think that was that's pretty interesting and that type of thing. I mean, you know, I'd really like to take a deep dive on that one. You know, like Ryan, I'm a brad with both of what they just said. I mean, you know, goodbye to six hours on YouTube. You know, when you start peeling back the layers of the onion. So I really enjoy, I did watch the quite a few episodes of the Malaysian flight as well. So we're very, very, very interesting, you know, take on all of those. So, you know, and I'm not going to touch America's you know, swear switch. I'm going to go to Darren. Number one fan. Favorite conspiracy theory we've talked about. What do you got Darren? Well, just going on the line still with Taylor Swift, because I'll tell you what, my work at the nursing home, I'm an activities coordinator. There was, and I know I didn't get a chance to get back to you when you said that. But two of the nurses, they're always, we got this nurse that they're always talking both up. And I swear, they were talking about that. One of them to other nurses, and they were going, oh, yeah, yeah. Now I was busy, you know, doing stuff. And I said, hey, my friend on the podcast was talking about that. So I meant to get back to you. She said, yeah, Darren, be so, and she just got into a whole thing, you know, all the other nurses are looking at her. Say, what? I said, like, so just to tie that one, because that just broke more into other stuff. And everyone said, oh, yeah, not Tino, not Sweet Taylor, not Sweet Taylor. So yeah, I just, that one stuck with me with all the others. But that one, just in particular, that was, that was my, you got one. I'm going to say, I'm okay with Taylor being a witch, because she got me seven grand, because I was able to buy four tickets, got two for the kids, and then sold the other two for seven thousand dollars. So, you know, way to go with, that's how you buy a brewery. I liked, I did, I did like the Malaysian air one for sure. So I found that one was like, because I'm like, all right, you know, you know, the just the tin foil hat, being a mental health therapist, I'm already like, okay, what kind of nonsense I'm in here with that one, maybe go, all right, I kind of want to learn more about that. And I'm just waiting for the next one on the miracle bullet that just missed. Oh, I'm sure that's coming soon. Oh, look, oh, I have, I have some really wacky ones on deck. I bet you just drop in, hang on, and just let it, let it go, man. Let it cook. Just absorb it, Scotty. Put on your cup and you got it for that one. So we got two people left. I'm going to hit this from two different angles. When we started this, Chris was not really into conspiracy theories, but then he's a believer. We're getting there. Chris, favorite conspiracy theory from the tin foil hat segment so fast. So here's the thing you don't know, back in the day, in my, in my mid 20s, I was extremely into conspiracy theories, you know, fall a cabal, reptilians, all this crazy shit that I spent hours and hours and you want to talk about our rabbit hole that I would go into and spend hours and it was this dude at my work that was so into it. And we would just go back and forth all day, like two fucking crazies. Okay. And then I was just like, all right, I had enough. It was fun for a little bit, but Tartaria got me dialed back in, okay, to think about an ancient civilization that possibly built pyramids and these fucking tunnels, the subway system in New York, like, that's insane. Like, how is that ground not caved in? They get supposedly their water comes from on the ground. Like, how is this shit all like spaghetti? It's fucking just ridiculous to think about. So that got me going again and revived my conspiracy theory. I'm ready. I'm ready. I'm all in. I'm all in. Chris, if you like Tartaria, I'm going to hit you with this. Cleopatra lived closer in age to the invention of the iPhone than she did the construction of the pyramids. Is that not fucking wild? Did you know the pyramids are so old, the Egyptians themselves studied who built the fucking pyramids? They don't even know. And they lived it. You know what? I thought you were going to say, Brad, to Chris, if you like Tartaria, you'll really love tartar sauce on your lobster roll. Do you put a tartar sauce on a lobster roll? Absolutely not. No way. No. Put tartar sauce on my long john silvers. Put that sauce on my long john. That's how this podcast makes money right there. That is a real honor. That's a T shirt in the bacon right there. The rusty I'll need to step your game up. Never mind my guy's drinking out of a bamboo cup. I love that thing. Send one over, bro. It's oh, it's high class. It's oh, thank you. So we're going to the professor. When we signed the tin foil hat, he was not a believer. Now it could be on the fence, depending on the subject. The man broke Catholic. Well, what's your favorite tin foil hat segment, Thomas? Well, let me first start off by saying I when he first started this, I was like Scottie. I'm like, what the hell is he going to say? Just then redneck down there. What's he going to but he won me over. And if you noticed, I haven't worn the tin foil hat since like the third week he did it. So he's won me over. I think my favorite, I'm going to agree with the Phantom and say the Leviathan one really, really kept my interest. And I actually that's one that I actually looked up a little bit online afterwards. But good job, Brad. So real quick, my two favorites is of course the Grand Canyon one. I love that story. I think it's it's so American folklore that, you know, been covered up. Smithsonian, the whole end of raised the law stock where they have the whole, you know, all the will in the act into this archives that you'll never know that they have type of, you know, supplemental kind of thing at the end. And the bell, the clock. I love that. It's like a time shift. I love that. I love that story. I love that. You know, the whole thing, what happened to it, you know, the structure is still there. So, you know, it was a thing. It's just what happened to it. Did they destroy it? Is it also in the Smithsonian? Who knows? So let's, let's move on and talk about, we've done a couple of reviews different places. We've done kojos. We've done Dallas vintage toys. We want to mention that. And, you know, hopefully that becomes a thing too. Maybe if you guys are on location, you can do reviews for us and send them in and we can get, you know, more eyes on the podcast and more, you know, people that are business owners that want to, you know, be on the show. Favorite review. I have the two. You can, you don't have to pick one, but Brad, you started us off. I think my favorite one is the first one because it's the original. What do you think? Well, just say Dallas vintage toys because I was there. It was fun. It's kind of impromptu. I was like, man, this is a really, really wicked store. They've got everything in here from like, blue season that they repackaged and sold at discount of Ninja Turtles, GI Joe, wrestling figs, you name it. And then they had the really, really good stuff in the back back when you went, when I went through Castle Grayskold, that was like there, the stuff that was cased inside of a case that was, but it's like a Taj Mahal of, you know, a vintage toys, man. But going through those old vintage toy stores like that, man, like, it's just like a walk down memory lane. Dude, I just start seeing all the stuff I had as a kid and I just get overwhelmed with nostalgia. But I love Dallas vintage toys. Whenever I go back to see Tristan, I think I'm gonna make it a point every visit. We're gonna go to Dallas vintage toys, payment visit, buy something, support their business and promote them somehow. So yeah, that was definitely my favorite. Now, Brad, did you hide any toys while you were in there? Did I hide them? Hide any hide any for next time, man. I have a mentor. Did you hide a Ben Watson way? Man, look, I have a Chris Ben wall that I bought there and I was looking for it just now. And I think my wife hit it because she hates that toy. If you went all the way down to Dallas and you didn't hide nothing for next time, that's a rookie move. Rookie move. I got to agree. Rookie move. They must have a snooker somewhere in there that you had your eye on. Man, I have a metal list of so many toys in it. Now, the wrestling figs, they're really, really good ones were those Gen 1, Gen 2 series in the back. The ones were from the way back in the day where they didn't really do anything. They had like one movable action that they all did. Those in the, and I have four of them. I have, ultimately, both generations, a whole cogan and a Brutus bar beefcake by themselves, they're only worth 20, 30, 40 bucks in the package on opening 600, 700, 800 dollars. And I'm like, yeah, dang, where's my stuff at? You know, like some of those I have, I'm not going to go spend six, seven hundred dollars on them, but the Ninja Turtles, G.I. Joe's, man, straight back nostalgia. And he's got a steal of Mikey's in the flea market. Man, they got them walked up, bro. Like, their security in there was tight. Chris, favorite, favorite review is, is it your co is it your co Joe's review? Or do you like the original Brad vintage toys? I like them both. I like the way that you guys, you know, presented it. You did it very professional. You both spoke really well on the, you know, the review of the store. What do you think? So listen, Kojo's good shit, right, right here, downtown New Bedford, right? It's a rock's throw from my house. I could probably hit it with a baseball. But that store that Brad went to is just absolutely badass. Like just the size of it. The sailing tiles is what got me going big time, you know, just awesome, awesome store, like 10 fold size wise anyway, just such a large location, which he moved. Kojo was in a 400 square foot, little tiny closet, basically. And the store that he just moved to now is 1200, I believe, square feet or 1600 square feet. So he pretty much tripled in size, which is great, good for him. But I'm definitely looking forward to the more reviews that we can do coming down the road. Like you said, I hope we can do that more. I was just oogling, googling the Brock Street brewery. And, you know, I've been known on these hockey tournaments to say just disappear at night with a guy or two and come back at like five in the morning, like just before a hockey game with no sleep. So hopefully you can make a special event and stay open for us because I'm telling you that 401 drive doesn't look that bad. 50 so minutes, I'll make it there in 35 with the way I drive. Watch out, I'm coming. Chris, pants and no pants. Do you do I wear pants on the podcast? I'm telling you, do I wear pants on the podcast? Yes, I guess we don't know. You had me a little worried when you say you're been known to disappear at the middle of the night with a guy or two. Well, you know, like where are we going? I mean, I mean, my wife wakes up and says, when I was my husband. Could you all say I fell tower with a guy? Chris. What are they, Brad? What are they, buddy? Let's play rest every voice. We are not that kind of establishment. Allegedly. Allegedly. You want to turn away anybody? After Doug, does it, Scotty? Well, the next thing you know, there's some Merlot spilled in a tan rug in an argument. Ed, I got to ask you, if are you excited that we could do like more reviews? What do you have that you think would be great for these reviews? Well, from my standpoint, because both were Brad and what Chris did, they both speak really well. They really kind of highlighted both locations. Yeah, I think really, I think the podcast quite a bit. Excellent job. And my biggest thing is to say, you know, I mean, I'm so out of the loop. I mean, I totally forgot about half of those toys until, you know, they both shut up to me. I'm like, they were totally forgot all about that. You know, I mean, it's been a long time since I've seen some of that stuff. And it was just nice to see it again. Are you saying you want to disappear with me and Brad, won't it? Ah, that's a negative, sir. And I came to a comment on it. Look at it. I wanted, well, we're going to ask the professor this too often. Why is it that we have the owner of Brock Street brewery on since pretty much since day one, we pump the product. We've never gotten a review that we can show on the podcast. I want to know. Oh, watch out. You got to get your asses up here because I can give you a great review. Yeah, well, yeah. Technically, you're part of the podcast, Scott. You can send, you can send us a nice vignette, a video, a VTR, beta, BHS. We'll get it on. Oh, ladies and dents. Scotty, I have one thing about that. You increase the volume so you can get the Brock Street brewery jet, man. But come on, man, like, brother, come on. I'm going to ask them for a jet, you know. Thomas, what would you like to see us do with these reviews? Well, if you had to give some insight. Well, if we're going to keep starting not small, but we could do, we always used to pump her history records, their tires, we could, they're not too far away. One of the one of us could go there and do that. We could do not to say a review, but we could do a convention or something. In some way, like the sports card show that we were talking when we interviewed Doug about, I think start off small and build our way up. Yeah, yeah, that's that's kind of what I was thinking. You know, we try to try different things. And most of them turned out pretty good. I mean, I haven't seen too much stuff really fall flat, but as far as the reviews, it's new. So we don't have a lot of them to talk about. But, you know, we got to get a, we got to get a Brock Street review, we got to get a couple convention reviews. And next time Brad goes to one down there, maybe you can do one thing is in the works down there, Bradford. Second, I got something I'm going to try to go to. So I don't know how big it's going to be. I think they're hosting it at Boys and Girls Club. It's going to be a lot of toys, vintage toys, stuff. I'm going to go check it out. And if it's worthy of a review, I'll record something. If it's not, I'll just be, you know, it's whatever. Phantom. Major Restland parking lot. Yes. That, you know what? That was my dream. That thing was awesome. They're there and Barnstable this weekend, actually. If you, if you could have got in there with that, that they would have been off the chains. So little did I find out soon afterwards when I went back in the building and I was bitching to the guys like, Oh, you know, what the fuck I can get my podcast on. They're like, Oh, you didn't hear the Wi-Fi code they gave in the beginning before the show started? No, when the fuck was everybody? Yeah, you know, so apparently there was Wi-Fi and I could have, if I was, I was two sheets of the wind by the time I got there. Okay, guys, and that's a nice way of saying you disappeared for a little while with the dude. It was time traveling. Yeah. If you sneak away with four little dudes, is it only count as two? No comment, I guess from my first of all, he doesn't want to lose his cooking segment. I'm going to, I'm going to start with Darren with this one. Favorite guests that we've had on the show? Who's been your favorite? I could have, you guys are really, we've had some good guests, you know, either, you know, the wrestling guys, I love the car collection guy that was on there, all his stuff, his stories. But I have to go this direction with your boy, with Dennis and his son, that interview, because you guys just going through what Dennis went through and his son, what he went through. Of course, you know, I was on dialysis for six years, both my kidneys shut down. So that story, just hearing from, you know, and I talked to Dennis on Twitter, just like his story, but his son, that interview, wow, being with the 16th and stuff like that, that just, that just hit home. Like, okay, here he is going through that. So that one, that was one of my, one of my good ones right there. That was a good one. That was a, that was a good one. It came from a different angle because we usually try to do stuff from a, you know, keeping it light, keeping it fun stories. Right. Which I like, right. Yeah. That was a good one. And favorite, I guess, we've had on the show. Oh, man, I think it's hard because I think that there's probably like three or four that I'd have to say that we're really great. I'd say, having knuckles on twice, that really, you know, being such big wrestling fans that we all are, you know, except for Scotty, of course, you know, you know, that was really big. Having Joe Lyons come on, you know, Darren, you and I went to school with them at Bridgewater. So it's, you know, always good to help the Bridgewater alumni and then having Sean from Skate Waite and then having Corey from Goongard. And then obviously, you know, having a really close friend like Dennis on and seeing and picking back what Darren said about, you know, Dennis's son and to see with, you know, type one diabetes and to be such a great athlete. I mean, it's, you know, that's a huge, huge kind of mountain to climb because, you know, type one is definitely not something that you can just control with diet. So I have to say all those were probably my favorite ones. Scotty, do you have a favorite guest that we've had on other than yourself? Well, actually, you guys are turning me a little bit. I found the dark side of the ring and I'm starting to hit those up. So maybe I'll, maybe I'll be able to contribute. You already watched more wrestling than Ed now. So, yeah, no, no, it's funny. It's funny because the one is probably when I stopped watching wrestling was when Ginger Lynn was, we were starting to see those videos, right? And so when she came on with that little, that kind of little opener, I thought it was hilarious. But then I was quickly disturbed by the fact that she says, I understand you guys watch these videos together. Oh, you say bastards. Bradford, favorite guests we've had on the show? Does the Dusty Rhodes person here? Mike, he's great. He's great. He's all over Twitter. Yeah, those are great. My favorite guest is none other than the top fan, the top commenter of our YouTube, Darren. I feel like me and him trade comments back and forth. Even though I think this might be the first time I've been on the pod with him before I've known the guy my whole life. So top fan, appreciate you commenting and being here today. So that's that's my top guest. If I could be sentimental. Thanks a lot. Chris, who was your favorite guest that we've had on? Yeah, seriously, Dan, Darren's great. Like, I don't even know him, but like, I feel like I know him just like he said. It's amazing. Just the back and forth that we have with the comments. I mean, Knuckles also was just cool. I felt like that was the closest like celebrity slash, you know, ex pro wrestler we had. So got his book here. Can't really see it because of the stupid background. But anyway, there it is sideways. It works. Good, good interview. But my favorite guest is going to be the guests that we're going to get down the road at some point that it's going to be extra damn special. And don't forget, I still have that little phone number that person I ran into a while ago. And the marky mark and the funky bunches is a possibility. I know it's going to cost a little bit. She did also offer us to use her studio if we ever wanted to. It's right downtown right on Union Street. So if we actually ever wanted to just all be in the same room together, that's an option going to cost a little bit. But you know, for a special occasion, you know, we got some anniversary episodes coming up just throwing that out there. So I'm going to do the professor with the question of his favorite guest. It's seeing that he's been part of a lot of the interviews. Who's your favorite guest, Thomas? I would have to say our first interview, Roger, I thought would be one of the best. And I think it'd be really awesome if we could ever get him to do like a shoot, just because he has so many stories, I think, between being around rock guys, rock stars with his uncle, who was a drummer for Billy Squire. And then with the wrestling where he used to always do the conventions and he'd bring in these wrestlers. He must have some crazy ass stories. Yeah, I don't know what the how deep we could go with that with him. I don't know if he would kayfave a lot of it and keep it out to himself, but I'm sure that there's there's some stories there. I want to ask the fan of favorite guests. My favorite guest, he's done a couple of little clips here and there on the regular podcast, but every once in a while, he ventures off on his own. And I'm going with my man, nine o'clock. And his review of the do do toilet gave it a solid seven kid must not have to take a crap seven or seven little high for me for toilets got some doodle on it. It couldn't get any food. That's because you're zero doodle on the toilet. So seven o'clock. That's a new thing from a kid perspective. So, you know, I'm going to let it just settle because somewhere down the line, it'll be embarrassed to shit that you recorded that and it's all you. So when you got a girlfriend someday and she finds that, you're all done. That's it. You don't clean, you don't clean the toilet at home. You don't put that as a seat. You know what I mean? But gets the flush. So, you know, it is what it is. You get the review you get. For me, favorite guest has been just two things. I'm going to get some sentimental on this. I'm grateful for everybody that we've had. But Darren's been there since day one. He hasn't been on a lot of episodes, but it's always great to have him on just to see a face, cheer up with the boys, or whatever. I know this is the best of episode. I'm grateful to have him. He was there right from right from Jump Street. And Bradford came on the show almost a year ago. It became such a staple of the show. He brings the good comedy, which I love. He's not easily rattled, which I love. And like-minded individuals. So, what more can we say? He's been a great addition to the show. And I think, Brad, just top-notch for all around. More Bradford reviews. People want to see more tin foil hat. So, Brad, fantastic. Hold on. If we ever want to lose the guest star title that we always put in the front, where it says, "Guess, Darren, if he ever changes mind and changes vote on the title trophy," you know, I'm not saying that's the reason why, but I mean, put two and two together. Not happen, everybody. You're not kidding here at the 1973 podcast. As they say from the workplace, figure it out. Tom, the numbers don't lie. Two votes. The one you lose. Sorry, not sorry. Sorry. So, I want to start with Darren. I want to ask him, out of all the episodes we've done, what is your personal favorite moment from the show? I think this one you guys get on. I have to go back when Ryan said it up. One episode, because I coached girls basketball here wearing them for 10 years, was that email, the round team, with that. That episode just hurt Coleman, plus, you know, being a parent, my daughter Jasmine. No, now she's 25, but just when she did, like, soccer, gymnastics, especially down the Cape, like, is just, God forbid, the elite parents, like, doing gymnastics or soccer. God forbid, if anybody else could comment on anything. So, that episode just hit more, like, I said, yep, everything you guys said, you said, yep, then through that, I've been yelled at, yeah, I mean, I remember one time, this is when I started back in 2007, over y'all's coaching middle school girls. I had a parent come up to me, I was just walking back to my cop. Oh, aren't you gonna play my daughter? You never played my daughter. I said, were you in the gym? Because at that time, we had to give each girl, like, certain amount of minutes to play. If you didn't, that was part of the league. So it was like, it was going to be like this big, like, fight up. He just, like, came roll up on me. I said, hey, watch it, first of all, and second of all, why don't you pay attention? So I explained, so it's just that episode, just how I like that with the email, how we, whoever brought up that question, how for coaching and parents and hearing everybody's perspective or with kids or being on the outside with parents or being a spectator. So that was mine. All right, Chris, your favorite moment from the 75 episodes, man, so many hard to pick from, I guess. I just like the ones best, honestly, is these commemorative or milestone episodes that we do. And we just have everybody on and just shoot the shit like we're doing today. We're not, you know, we're not going off a script. We're not like, you know, we're just winging it and everybody's just given their peace of mind of what they enjoy. And like, this is my favorite, like sentimental right here, like, this is just cool, just hanging out with you guys and, and just hearing all this is awesome. I'm going to the man north of the border. Scotty. All right. Let's good, good, good responses already. I, it did love all the lead up to the Phantom. Who was the Phantom? What's the Phantom? All the side little videos that you do. And then you had them on and you really jumped the shark. No, no, no, it's great seeing, it's great seeing Braco on here. It's, uh, no, that's kind of my favorite. And similar to Chris said, you know, once I've been able to be a part of it's, oh, oh, you know, it's just the most enjoyable, but I love playing it and put it on when, when I'm not on it. I play it usually a lunchtime at work and feel like I'm catching up with you guys. I like to think I had a hand and getting the Phantom on this show because I called him out in Portuguese. And I think that's when he finally understood he needed to fucking come on. Chris, I'm going to just interject a minute before I go around that there is so much stuff that we cannot talk about from from the probably the years of probably 1990 through probably I'll be conservative 2000 and seven, eight that you're going to go to the grave with. And he can't put it on a podcast because then it just, you know, you shoot me yourself on the floor. Let's be honest, you're the only one that remembers those because the rest of us were a little bit. Let me just say that adds to the story of being true though, right? Wait, wait, he was the sober Sally? Yes. Oh, yeah. All the time, man. And the funny part was so when we were at certain establishments and we would pay our round is his coke would cost as much as our drink. And it'd be like, well, a guy's about drinking, so. Yeah, twist my arm. You get to twist my arm. Do they serve sodas at Brock Street Brewery? For the for the ill-informed. Yes, like for those those people. I mean, like, I think they're probably flat. I wouldn't need it. I wouldn't drink it. So if you have a recovering alcoholic that walks in there and says, hey, I can't drinking. You got to give him the AC treatment. We're going to go. It's a brewery. He saw the slide when you walked in. He's got to sneak him one because that's good customer. Yeah, it'll be like hand over your chip. Yeah, recovering alcoholic. That's easy money, man. I'm going to go to Bradford. Bradford, favorite moment of the show. I like what Chris said, man. I like all the anniversary milestone episodes or whatever. But just being on here period and then getting put on YouTube, the one I remember very vividly the day I made a comment to the family about, oh, yeah, the episodes up on YouTube or whatever. And Lucas, my eight year old was like, you're on YouTube? Yeah, buddy. Your dad's on YouTube. Check it out. Then I was like, don't check it out. You're not ready for it yet. You guys have kind of a big deal. I don't want you to tell all your friends, have them tell their parents, make their parents, like and subscribe and buy the merch, buddy. So that was big for me just being having my kid be like, you're on YouTube, daddy. Like, yeah, I did. I don't think a lot of people understand that if you don't buy the merchandise, we can't build up a kitty to pay for a good guest to come on. That's just how it works. Can't, can't lay it out anymore than that. So buy some stuff and you might see somebody cool on here, eventually. Stop being so cheap. Buy the mugs. Buy the Chris with the apron mug. Listen, who doesn't wear an apron while you're cooking or you can wear into the bedroom with nothing on underneath? See? Come on. Or you can pretend like you're a superhero. With no clothes on. Still spin it around. That works either way, Andy. Well, hey, you know, you got to work with what you got. Some people might want to keep the, they might, the wife might say, spin that apron around. I don't, I don't want to see anything. Just wear the apron. It's easy access when you go on those hockey trips and you disappear with the boys for three or four hours. I'm packing in my suitcase now, so I don't forget. That's when you go back to the room, you got a clean t-shirt. We're so off the rails, right? What was even a topic? I'm going to go to the Phantom favorite moment from the show. What we're doing right now is my favorite. I'm like, I don't, I could care less if we have a guest, I could care less if we were viewing things or whatever we're doing. My favorite part is just shooting the shit with the guys, like wearing a car ride, driving some of the lubos or wherever the hell we're heading. That, to me, that's, that's why I come on. That, that's, that's what I miss. And that was a big part of getting me to end up joining after I was like, do what I'm not doing that. And per usual, we're all buzzed out except Andy. Still, see? So I'm a bro. I've had a few drinks, but I'm still too sober to drive. I need a few more before I get behind the wheel. And that's the bamboo for the road. Yeah, do you need to disappear with a couple of dudes? Not as many as me. Do you have to drink more whether you're new or one more, you don't know them. That's, that's a question for Chris. This or let's do your own table. Phantom, you're up. Bring me down. I'm going to go to Ed's favorite moment from the show. Oh man, I'm going to say that when Ryan came on us, the Phantom, that was great. But I also have to agree with Ryan. It's, you know, every week to get to, you know, sit down and talk with you guys for, you know, for an hour. You know, Andy, this was a great idea to get us all back to you. So you look, you know, we're all, you know, time is going tick, talk, tick, talk, you know, and it's not guaranteed anymore, you know. And so it's just good to see everybody. I'm minimum for an hour. It's good to see, you know, everybody blowing up the phones during the week and that stuff, a thing on the, on the feeds. So it's, it's good to see everybody, you know, and just for the record, I found Brad. Okay. Find us. I brought Brad just so you know, I did it. Sure. I did that. I did that. I, I'm going to, I found Scotty. Scotty didn't know back in 1993 that guy could put together a mean bike. Thomas, what do you got? What's your favorite moment out of the first 75 episodes? Well, let me just say I'm glad Ed could find Brad because he couldn't find the mute or on mute button in my favorite episode when he was thought it was a silent movie and pulled up signs the whole time. Yes, no. He started about that. I mean, I was on a different computer and I was home in Massachusetts. So, you know, I got it too. That was good. I think everybody kind of hit it really cool with, you know, just to getting together factor and it's, it's like, if you ever were in a locker room with, with a bunch of dudes yucking it up and, and chirping and, and, you know, giving somebody a hard time or old school genics, bullying, you know, that kind of having fun and busting balls type of thing. I think that's, that's what makes this what we do, whether, uh, it's three of us, whether it's been a whole group. I think it's all like-minded individuals. Everybody laughs at the same jokes. Everybody tells us the stories they can with kind of tiptoeing around how we tell these stories. Hopefully we'll be- Your tone is like, is understatement, it's a sad list. Yeah, we, you know, we're not PG-rated dudes. I want to go on record to say that. Definitely NC-17. We can not do this. We cannot be 100%. We can't turn it up to 11 because I don't think- Because someone who are still married. I don't think we can turn it up to 11. I really don't- No, give me resources for, I believe, the man that's under me, the next woman that's over there, possibly Brad, probably, down here with Scotty, so. Yeah, there's, uh, there's so many stories. I was talking to somebody at work. I'm going to give you a little, little story from this week. They mentioned that they were going on a trip to Montreal and way to go. I said, oh, I just went with my son last the year, year and a half ago. I said, I love Montreal. I said, but it's- Is it a family trip? Or is it an adult trip? Because it's two different Montreal's. And they're like, well, what do you mean? And I'm like, I can't tell you what I mean at work. I can't- Yeah, I'm in an office full of people. I can't- I can't tell you what I mean. Going with my 10-year-old son to Montreal and walking on St. Catherine Street during the day is different than going with a couple individuals on this panel. And, uh, you know, we just- Yes. Yes. Okay. PK. When you go with your son, you get PK. When you go with your buddies, you get that- Very much so. Very much so. So they were egging me- Now there's three people, and two of them were females. And they were egging me on to tell them the story. And I'm like, I can't tell you the story because it's a story that involves someone that works here, somebody that you may know. Some other people that I've been in close contact with. And, you know, just- You would look at me differently if I told you the truth. And a lot of times, people can't handle the truth. And it is what it is. You get- You get dragged certain places that it ends up being better than what you thought. And then you get dragged other places. And it's like, I think, yeah, my mother called me. My spidey sense is tingling. I should really get out of here right now. But, you know, the best thing about this podcast is the moments of getting everybody together. You know, whether it was like Ryan said us going out, all the preparation for that, that was prep too. That was almost like a whole day for that. And then, you know, the kind of ride home and the stories about that. And hey, my kind of broken into, hey, look, I can't find my shirt. I'm in this phone night. Who are these women? I don't know. You know, look at the professor's laugh, and he doesn't want to get in trouble. He knows. Why is my chest so itchy? I have no idea what's been soaked. Just a lot of fun. A lot of funny things. Yeah. How do I pass out on this bathtub? You know, who are these? Why am I throwing up? I've never been. I've never been to Montreal before. But when I worked at Ricardis, all the guys, they rented a Winnebago. They took a trip up there. And the one story that I always remember hearing is some lady has some strip club asking them, do you want to play with my big long nipples? So that's what you're into. Damn, you guys are crazy. Would you like to add anything to this at all? Yeah, it would be canceled. Yeah, I think it's funny because I'm like, and we would be much more willing to talk as, well, Tommy didn't know his wife at the time when we went. I think, Ryan and you guys were with your partners. We'll keep it in. I'll keep it in. You discussed that at this time. Yeah, exactly. Can I tell? I'm going to tell a story and I'm not going to name anybody. But it involves people on this podcast. So you can try, try your own conclusions for the story. So we go to Montreal. So the whole point of going to Montreal is, if you're into hockey and you'd like to hang out and go to like cool restaurants, which it bars most of the time, and it's strip clubs. So it's St. Catherine Street. So if you start on one side, you go all the way down one side, and you kind of do a loop and come back down the other side and usually stop at this one place to end the night, which is probably, I'm not going to say the name of it. I'm not going to say, I'm not going to say the name of the place, but it's sat kind of in the middle of the street. He definitely has not been there before. And definitely not. So you go, we start going down. I've been there before, brother. We start going down a few times. And we start hitting all the places. And we're going in, we're going in some stores where, you know, stopping at different strip clubs and there's some seedy ones. Yep. Going down alleyways, and there's one down here, whatever. So by the time we get all the way around, it's an all day thing. This is like a 12, 14 hour clip. So finally, we get back to the Mecca of where we're trying to finish the night. So you go have to go up this big flight of stairs from street level, huge flight of stairs. So we walk in, they're checking IDs at the door, letting us go in. And I'm like, wow, this was better than I thought the atmosphere, what I'm seeing, I'm seeing half cut hockey jerseys into waitress outfits. And I'm like, you got me, you got me at that. One of the individuals on this podcast is last in line. This individual decides to correct one of the waitress's ass on the way by the bouncer sees it. Goes, you cannot come in here all the way down the stairs. I turned around, I went. Here we go. The one place I was waiting to go into all day. So Andy, I got to correct that story a little bit. Okay, go ahead. That person was first in line because I was last in line and it was my turn to pay. Hey, I'm not supposed to say that it wasn't you. Well, no, no, because this is good. Try not to get fine, motherfucker. Last in line, a pain to cover from the whole game. And I'm seeing this individual who was getting, like, rough house out. And I'm trying to fight to get the money back. Because I'm like, paying the cover. And I think I was able to get the money back and we all had to go somewhere else. My my favorite moments like that have happened more than probably not 10 times more than five. And when I see it happen, I'm always like, Hey, what the hell's going on? I was this person going. And it's always, it's, it's, it's always a, a melee. It's always multiple things going on. It's never one thing. It's always multiple things. You know, like, when you watch wrestling, and somebody hits the ring as a group, and you're like, Oh, look at that little guy beating up that big guy. Oh, look at that guy. Should I headlock? It's like, you know, you don't know what to watch. And you're like, Oh, should I go over there? Wait, I can go over there. Who's over there? They were over there. How did they get over there? Why did that guy get in track by his face? It always happens like that. And I think everybody could test that it's, you know, it's stories. We are trying to kayfave a lot of it. We are here to protect the guilty. And that in a nutshell, I think I think that's what the podcast is all about. Blurring that line of what we can talk about and bringing up the stories that are all true. And maybe just a little bit of forgetfulness that maybe somebody else can add to Scotty. We all know who it was. We're never going to say what that's going to be. That's going to be on the pole for everybody to guess. As we close this episode, 75, what do you want to add anything before we go? No, I just want to say, thank you very much. Darren, thank you for coming on. It's great to reconnect with you again, man. Scotty, it's great to be with you. Chris, great addition. Brad, I missed your brother, Thomas, Brian, and last but certainly not least, Andy, I love all you guys, man. It's good to see all you. All right, fellas. Hello. All right, so from our podcast family, 75 episodes, who would have thought when we started? Like I said, last week, the hottest part is behind us. It's all smooth sailing. Now, we've done so many things. We even did a watch along with the boy. I want to do a couple of watch along with the fellas. Maybe we can add some fun stuff to it and cheer along with some stuff, mystery, science, theater style. So if everybody's good, we're going to sign on. Anybody want to add anything before we go? Just thank you guys. Thanks for having me. This has been great. No, one man. Fan club number 0001 on the employee badge number. Buy some merch. Yes. Stop that. I think it's so cheap. Yeah, thank you, Ed. Stop being cheap. Buy a book. Buy a book. Buy some books. Buy some friends. Buy some stuff. Look at this. See, Chris was in here last week. You guessed it. You guessed it. Two people bought two people bought books. Buy a book. Well, you know, read a story. Brian, buy you animals. Do some stuff. I'm right at the point where you're bringing Elliot home for the first time. Good, good, good. Very good. Did you cry at all? I mean, you know, I'm at work. I'm trying not to do that around the guys that I want to disappear with. So, you know, at least they'll know. If you cry around them, they're going to know if you're pitching a catchant. So you're already out on yourself. So for a loss of you, that's 75. You're playing everybody.
