I. We got second place in the Firethorn Stag on Wednesday.

Well, that's. I mean, that's pretty good.

[C]

Our team shot 23 under. We lost by one.

[B]

You look like you got buttery hands. You look like you're just. You can't hit the ball. You can't hit the hands.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

What do you mean?

[D]

You're always talking about people's hands.

[B]

I'm. No, I'm just saying Nick looks like the guy. He's. Who's got a great short game.

[C]

I.

[B]

That's what I'm saying. He just. You're just. You just look like a type of dude where it's like, wow, he put it in the woods again. But he's always getting up and down.

[C]

No, on Wednesday I think we had two guys that shot 74 and a 76. And then I shot, I think an 84.

[D]

That's really good.

[C]

Which I'm happy with.

[D]

84 is absolutely sick.

[C]

And I think our fourth guy shot like a 92.

[B]

That's awesome.

[C]

But it was fun. No, I. I have a matt. I have to do a party bus tomorrow night.

[B]

Yeah, that's a very like.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

You're 20.

[C]

What?

[B]

27. 5. You're 25. You're only a Year older than me.

[C]

Yes.

[D]

Good God. He's advanced.

[B]

How many. So how many weddings?

[D]

What does that mean?

[B]

How many weddings do you have this year?

[C]

I mean, you know, I will. I have. Actually, it's. It's clutch. That I left the job I did when I did because I have about three this fall that I was gonna have to figure out a way to get out of pre game and post game shows for.

[B]

But how many have you already had up to the fall wedding?

[C]

I have had two so far this year. I'm in three. The party bus. I'm in three more. This would. This fall. The, the. The party bus tomorrow night is for my other best friend that just got engaged.

[B]

Okay. So this is like the engagement party.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah. So this is. Did they do this, you know, when

[D]

you were our age, where back in

[B]

the old, back, back in your day, where they would get engaged and then there would be a whole party for the engagement, Then there would be a whole party, like the bachelor party. Then there would be a bra. Another bridal party, dinner, bachelorette party, then

[C]

the actual wedding, like wedding rehearsal dinner.

[D]

Yes.

[B]

Like, there's. Well, that's all standard, but like this, in, this, in the party for the engagement. Was that always a thing?

[D]

Because everyone depends on if people want to throw a party for you.

[B]

Okay. Don't expect me to be at the engagement party.

[D]

Like, I don't think anybody does it. Everything is just an excuse to have a party. So if you, if you are a party person and you want to party, then you can make as many parties as you want.

[C]

I mean, we do need more. We need, we do need to spend more quality time with our, with our people.

[B]

I agree, I agree with that. But I, I think that if you're always having parties, then the actual, like, excitement and value of the party kind of diminishes.

[C]

Well, I don't know. I don't think I'm going to. I don't think anything, anything can devalue the actual wedding.

[D]

Why don't you point. Why don't you just say, like, we're having people over, you know, or whatever, we're doing a party bus just for fun. Would, Would that make it easier for you to go?

[B]

Probably. I wouldn't. I wouldn't have anything to. About. Yeah, but then I. There'd be way. I'd be way more likely to just say no, though.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, I would just be like, nah, I don't really want to do that.

[D]

Seems like it's actually the opposite. You're. You're more Likely to say no because you feel like it's an obligation because it's a celebration of their wedding.

[B]

No, I'm bitching about the fact that because there's the title of engagement party that I feel like I have to go to it.

[D]

That that's what you're saying.

[B]

Okay, I'm sorry.

[D]

I mean, we. Some people say it more than others. Some people.

[C]

It kind of caught me off guard. I'm not going to lie with you, Matt.

[D]

Some people say.

[C]

The second time you said it, I was like, whoa, okay, we might be able to say that.

[B]

What do you mean?

[C]

The B word? B word.

[B]

Bitching.

[D]

Three.

[C]

There you go.

[D]

I think if Hit your max.

[B]

Yeah. I didn't know you could say I have a max.

[D]

Yes. Everything in moderation. Everything in moderation. Like sometimes this is sort of how it works. This is definitely how it works with like the fcc. Like if. If you hear it, you know, okay, it's once, but then if you hear it over and over again, it's like, I'm going have to turn my radio station now. You know, one of those.

[B]

I'm going to say it.

[D]

Ass. Shout out to. Shout out to Alan. I'm gonna say it with the line of the century. He was. He ripped it yesterday.

[B]

Usually, though, the radio watchers, like, the Wikipedia radio watchers are all over this stuff. I want to see. Let's see if they can.

[B]

By the way, I was looking at your screen while you're scrolling on Twitter. Did I see that you can own a piece of Ryan Field? That I see that correctly? I might. Have you ever done that? Either of you, where you, like, buy a piece of an old stadium?

[D]

[C]

Is he out of debt yet in Vegas? Yeah. Yes, he is. He's a liar.

[B]

He is. He's good.

[A]

He.

[B]

He made up for the $50 million he allegedly lost gambling that by doing concerts by very coincidentally performing in Vegas for Insane am.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

For an insane amount of time though. He might have been. It might have been the longest residency.

[D]

If you're Vegas like that. What a perfect person to have.

[B]

Oh, my God.

[D]

Yeah. I mean, you could. You basically just trap him into doing shows for free for months.

[B]

That's what they. I'm pretty sure they did that to Frankie Valley, too.

[A]

Oh.

[D]

I mean, Frankie Valley was doing.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[D]

He was doing lots of. I mean, like, he. Is he alive?

[D]

and he looked terrible. Yeah.

[B]

I believe he's still going.

[C]

Okay. Matt, it bothers me how you used your touch screen.

[B]

What do you mean?

[C]

Like, just use your mouse pad. It's right there.

[B]

No, I have. What do you mean? I can use both. I. I'm allowed to use both.

[C]

Go ahead.

[B]

He's 92 years old.

[D]

Damn.

[B]

He's married. He's been married to four women. Wow. He actually got married in 2023 at the age of 89. Frankie Valley, longest residency in Vegas of singers.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

I don't know. I wonder what that would be.

[B]

No, you're the worst. Because now I'm. Yeah, now I'm conscious about the fact of how I use my. Here's my thing. My mouse pad doesn't really work. Like, it's all crappy. So it's just easy if I switch between, you know, this and doing it this way. Also, Mike Skibbs feels the same way that you feel.

[D]

I also feel like this. But I didn't want to. I didn't want to.

[B]

Why. Why is everybody so upset with the

[D]

way that I. I'm really bothered by, like, a lot of this. It's just so much clutter.

[B]

What is.

[C]

We have so much space.

[B]

What is clutter?

[D]

You have at least 12 tabs up, and when you open up your computer, you get a bunch of, like, Norton antivirus.

[B]

Oh, I know. I've stopped doing that. I've Cut those out. I figured. I figured out to X that out. It was going for a while.

[C]

Go check out geeks

[D]

every day. But I don't say anything.

[B]

Well, they're gone. They're no longer here. There's no more Norton Antivirus. McAfee Security.

[D]

That's good.

[C]

I hate how. I hate how smudgy your just keep telling.

[B]

Yeah, keep telling me how much you hate me. How much? How much you hate everything I do.

[C]

This ridiculous what you do. I don't hate you.

[D]

I just hate what you do. I hate what you do.

[B]

Look, did you not like the fact that I was watching Cardinals Raiders preseason highlights?

[C]

See it? All I literally see on this side is fingerprints. Like, seriously, look at where I'm. All I see is just where you touched.

[B]

Yeah, that's so bad. I can't look, you come here. Look. You come here. Hold on.

[D]

I don't know how you live that way.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

You know, a lot of people have said that about me.

[D]

That's what the crossover I have discovered is all about. I was discussing this with somebody recently, is like, yeah, here's how the crossover goes. Like, Matt says something and I'm like, how do you live? And then that's 20 minutes.

[B]

Yeah. And then Schaefer just throws in, like, other different hypotheticals and adds on to it. And if we have a really good crossover, Schaefer, through discovery, finds out another ridiculous thing to which then you come on the other way. It's great. No, it's.

[C]

It's.

[B]

It's. I love how we're self aware about it. I was actually around people who listen to the radio station, and three of them came up to me and told me separately. Three different people who didn't know each other in separate occasions came up to me and told me how much they like the morning crossover.

[D]

No. You know, grown men with tears in their eyes.

[B]

I mean, they were like, let me shake your hand. Baymon said that to me.

[D]

You met Bayamon in real life?

[B]

I met Baymon, yeah.

[D]

Oh, cool.

[B]

Great guy. Nice. His buddy Gordon said that to me.

[C]

I thought they didn't know each other.

[B]

Well, they were sitting next to each other. They had just met each other that day.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

Yeah. But then. And then another guy named. I believe his name was Ben was there and he was like, I love morning crossover. I was like, thanks for listening.

[D]

Where was this at?

[B]

This is at the Sydney, because i80 club did, like a little get together.

[D]

That's right. I was there for that. Nice.

[B]

It was a ton of times shout out to Gordon. Gordon. Ben Baymon. Yeah. Yeah. I met. I met a guy named Shane who's in our chat a lot.

[D]

Nice.

[B]

I forget if it's. If his name's on the chat is he's Shane slash Bruce. One of his names are actually the.

[D]

This.

[B]

I think his name is one of the other.

[D]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

But he's a commenter as a different name.

[D]

Nice.

[B]

And met him. He was great. They're awesome. He was a guy who made fun of me for my cooking. I was explaining how I cook things, and he was just roasting me for, like, a good couple days about me not knowing how to cook.

[D]

He's a professional chef.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And he came up to me, he's like, I'm that guy. And I'm like, great.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

But he was great to talk to.

[C]

Do you have a lot of dooms while you cook Beefy the Cat?

[D]

Do I have a lot of what Dooms?

[B]

What's dooms?

[C]

Boom and doom.

[B]

No, I don't. I don't.

[D]

This is how we're keeping track of Anthony Calandria this year, by the way,

[B]

with the Costco guys.

[D]

Figure if he can.

[B]

That's great.

[D]

If he can do three booms in, like, one game. Yeah, we will be in good shape.

[C]

Yeah. And we. We, I. We all agreed that you cannot, like, back date dooms. Sure. You cann not say, well, I had no dooms against North Dakota. This gives me six dooms against Ohio State.

[B]

Is the standard they got. Yeah, absolutely. This is a great bit. This is phenomenal. Every time he scores a touchdown, I'm now gonna think of double chop chocolate cookie.

[D]

That's one boom.

[B]

Wow.

[D]

That's one boom. It's five.

[B]

Big boom. I could see Anthony Galandria being a massive fan of the Costco guys. Like, chill South Florida guy just being like, look at these dudes. These are funny guys.

[D]

You think he knows about Big Justice?

[B]

I think he knows a lot about Big Justice. I wouldn't be shocked if Anthony Calandra or the Rizzler at some point in his career have a picture together.

[C]

What is more likely the. The Rizzler knows who Anthony Calandria is.

[B]

Oh, wow.

[C]

Or Anthony, Let me. Let's do it this way. Big justice instead. Which one's more popular between the Rizzler and Big Justice.

[B]

Rizzler.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

So that was my problem with the Rizzler.

[C]

Okay.

[D]

Okay.

[B]

It was Big Justice, Big Justice. And then his dad. Right. And then it was. The Rizzler was his own thing. And then the Rizzler joined up with the Costco guys in this kind of like mega powers Big three, but it's

[D]

like the Costco guys as a super team. Yeah. Intergalactic community.

[B]

I feel like though the Rizzler was great on his own. Like he was good on his own.

[D]

Hogan, Ghost Cinematic Universe.

[B]

Hogan didn't need, you know, hall and Diesel. Like Hogan was good with Hogan.

[C]

Have you, have you seen those videos where Big justice accidentally says the Rizzlers real name on video and he freaks out?

[D]

I think the Internet is making me believe recently that, that the Rizzler and Big justice are not on great terms.

[C]

Oh well, it's probably because he said his real name on, on cam.

[D]

Yeah, I don't, I don't think the Rizzler is cool with the Costco guys anymore.

[B]

That's good for the Rizzler. I think he's, I think he's, I think he's way above the Costco guys. Long.

[D]

You know anything about this?

[B]

Yeah, Jake.

[D]

Oh yeah, no, I know about it

[B]

with the, the stream.

[A]

Seen that.

[D]

So. But do, do Rizzler and Costco guys, are they cool anymore?

[C]

I mean, I don't know like that deep about it. I haven't, I haven't dove into a simple Google search.

[B]

I've saw, I've seen, I've seen a massive increase of the popularity of Long island slash New York comedy like on my Instagram where it's like guys who are from Long island and guys who are from like, you know, New man New York and they're like cursing about the Yankees and they're like making up like fake arguments. He would have a say at a sandwich shop and stuff like that. And the Rizzler popped up in the algo of one of those Long island comedy guys, I'm sure.

[C]

Okay, so just a couple of days ago, Rizzler mentioned, mentioned that he still refers to Big justice as his best friend, but they have not hung out in person since last year. That's interesting because the Rizzler is in New York and Big justice is in Florida.

[B]

That happens. I haven't seen my best friend in a couple months.

[C]

You know, I don't know. It's all good.

[D]

A year though.

[B]

I haven't seen my best friend in a year.

[C]

Rich. When you're rich. That's a good point.

[B]

I can't afford to take a flight to San Francisco and also pay to be in San Francisco for multiple days.

[D]

Matt says on YouTube, Any middle aged person tuning this in is going to have their brain melted.

[B]

That's here for. We're here to have the older people, you know, get up with the times, know what's going. You need to learn what your kids are watching. You need to learn about what your kids are consuming.

[D]

Your kids, your case, it's NFL preseason games and.

[B]

Well, yeah, I'm a very. I'm a different.

[D]

In Nick's case, it's no movies ever and just ocean. Ocean's 11.

[B]

You think we need one more? No, we need one more. No, that's from Oceans 11. I was quoting Oceans.

[C]

Yes, but I thought. I thought you meant, like, we need another Oceans movie.

[B]

No, no, no, no.

[D]

We do.

[C]

No, no, no.

[D]

I told.

[C]

I told Happer. I said, if it's not. If they're not Rob and Terry Benedict's casinos, I don't want to watch it.

[D]

That's very specific.

[B]

Those are Terry Benedict casinos.

[D]

That literally only happened.

[B]

Terry Benedict ran me out of business.

[D]

You knew that.

[B]

Yeah, Terry. Terry Benedict, he's gonna. He's gonna bury into the ground, and then he's gonna go to work on you. It's a good movie.

[D]

It's so good for other movies.

[C]

Not any better sauce.

[B]

He's the. Which one's the Amazing Yang. Then he runs.

[D]

We got our runner.

[B]

Oh, God, it's such a good movie.

[D]

It's a great movie. I love Ocean's Eleven. Tell me there are other movies that are good.

[B]

I feel like I need a bag of chips right now. Talking to Nick Sander, you know, popping them in there.

[C]

It's time for me to.

[D]

She's the weed.

[B]

No, that was good. It's rescue. And he's always eating the chips. He's always eating.

[D]

It's a great movie.

[B]

It's a great movie. I don't watch movies.

[D]

What are movies that are better than Ocean's Eleven? Free the Martian.

[C]

There's none.

[B]

Moneyball.

[D]

The Martian, and Moneyball. All right.

[B]

Empire Strikes Back.

[D]

Michael would love that if you said the Martian.

[B]

Ford versus Ferrari.

[D]

Wow, you're really into, like, Matt Damon. He's my favorite actor.

[C]

Yeah. By far.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

You know what? Matt Damon's in Ocean is one of them I rates. I believe it's his eighth best movie, according to me, because he doesn't have as big as a role as, like, he does in other mo. Goodwill hunting. Definitely better than. I would say that. I put Ocean's Eleven in the same area. I put Megamind. You know, I. I love Mega Mind.

[D]

Why?

[B]

Megamind is awesome. It's the big blue. The big blue head guy, the evil guy. You know that evil movie.

[C]

You should.

[B]

You should show your kid Megamind one day.

[D]

She would love it.

[B]

I'm quivering in my Navy SEAL leather boots.

[C]

Okay, show her. Ocean's Eleven.

[B]

That's the crossover. Nick Sander, thank you for feeling. No, yeah, I mean, come on. We've been. I've been pushing you guys to 2010, 25. I've been milking the cow that is Happer and Schaefer. Hey, tell me when it comes to the crossover. 3, 3, 2, 1.

[D]

Don't rip your thing out of your thing.

[C]

All right, we switched.

[B]

Hey, can we, can we make that graphic? Jake, don't rip your thing out of your thing.

[D]

Out of your thing.

[B]

That's great piece of advice. I gotta send you my Long island comedy guys on my Instagram. You love them. They're funny.

[D]

Long island, lots of cousins.

[B]

That's the crossover Middays with Mac getting rolling here on the 16th on the zone Radio Network. After this break.
