Gang, we could not be more excited to have our incredibly, incredibly special guest here with us today. This man is a legendary radio broadcaster, WWE personality and podcaster. He is the co host of Jim and Sam on Sirius XM. But the big question in everybody's mind today, is he garbage? Satellite radio? Pro wrestling?

I had a sawbuck. I'm guessing yes. But that's why we love him. Give it up for Sam Roberts, everybody. Oh, thank you for having me. I'm so glad that the WWE thing is there because otherwise it would just be a bunch of disappointed Jim Norton fans right now. Oh, it's the other guy. It's the other one. Also, he rolled in in a fucking customized undertaker denim jacket. I think so. Dude, I saw him. I was walking out of the bathroom. I saw him in a hallway. I was like, oh my

god. That is next level fucking new money trash. Was that it? Was that a gift or how'd you get that? Did you pay for that? Oh, no, I bought this. This is a purchased item. Not even worn like, okay, yeah, sorry, garbage packets. I wear my most garbage. This is my jacket. I thought the undertaker like threw that seal like mean Joe Green in the fucking Coke commercial. Here you go, kid. Go get him. There. Oh my god. Sweet, buddy. Thank you so much for coming

and sitting with us. We've been wanting to have this happen for a long time. We're excited. Yeah, I'm glad to be in the basement. Thank you. On the fourth floor. In a high rise building in midtown. Give us the backstory. Give us the full deal. New Rochelle kid. Yeah. Yeah. So well, you know, honest. Well, so I was born in New Rochelle in Westchester. We moved to England for a little while. Really? Wow. That's a curveball. Right. And that's a very classy space. Can I stop

right there? Is New Rochelle considered Westchester? You mean because it's so close to it's like, I think it's Westchester. It's Westchester. All right. It's not Upper Westchester. Okay. I'm also so trashy when he said England. I thought that was like Connecticut or something. I'm like, I'm like, oh, you went to like New London or something. You went to England proper. You went to England. Yeah, no, no. I spent four years living in England. Wow. As a kid. Damn. Yeah. For a fucking proper royal

tear shop. Yeah. Yeah. My dad was the prince. So I moved to England. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. What did he do to took him to England? He was an ad exec. Really? Yeah. We're talking 80s, 90s here. 89 88 to 92. So right on that cusp there, right? Damn. Right in the sweet spot. Brothers and sisters. Yeah. I have an older sister. How old? She's four years older than me. So she's probably 41 4041. Gotcha. I should know what I mean. Yeah, you should know. That's something you probably should

know. Yeah. Yeah. Like I'm like, yeah, I don't know. Early 40s with her. It could be 50. I'm not really sure. She wasn't a border. I don't know what her name was. So the whole family goes over there to England. All of us. Yeah. Four years. Four years. In London? No, outside of London. Where in the West Chester? In the West. In the New Rochelle. We live in West Chester, New York. We live in Surrey, England. You were in Old Rochelle. Yeah. Yeah. The original Rochelle. The pizza's

different. Was that a nice was that a nice area in England? Yeah. Yeah. It was like a nice suburban. And how old were you in this half? Like I wasn't like Oliver Twist if that's what you're asking. Like I wasn't like, you know, joining a pit pocket game. So how long were you a chimney sweep after that? Glow and saw dust in sailor's faces. Yeah. Yeah. No, it was like where the kids in Mary Poppins lived that had the chimney sweep coming. Gotcha. Gotcha. Gotcha. How old were you

when this happened? This is this is exciting. Right. So we moved there when I was four, five, six, seven, eight and then back to the states. So you thought you were British, right? You don't remember before that, do you? I mean like real, real little bit, right? It was just like that's weird. My little brother started to develop an English accent. Really? While he was over there. Yeah, because he went over there. He was like. Basterd. Yeah. Till Sam beat the shit out of him.

At the same time, we used to like every summer, like my family's roots are in Kentucky. Oh, okay. Kentucky to England. That's a come off. This kid's all over the place. Right. So every summer we go to Kentucky and then my brother would develop like what? A Southern accent for the week that we were in Kentucky and then go back to England and what the fuck? Yeah. Oh, shit. Yeah. What did people in England say when they said, oh, where are you? Summary English. Yeah.

Louisville. Louisville. Where's your Paduca? Ah, the island of Paduca. Just next to Santorini, I believe. Yes. Now it's next to the dog track. Route 21. No, I think I think my parents were like really worried about us becoming British because they found a private school. That's fucking awesome. That taught. That's like an American lesson plan. Sure. Yeah. There's an American school in England. Yeah. So I mean literally. Just a bunch of fat kids running around playing

in. Who's the greatest country in the world? USA. USA. Playing dodgeball US versus the world. Yeah, it's like what the fuck? When I joined the Cub Scouts, it was in England but it was like Boy Scouts of America. What? Cub Scouts. It was the same Cub Scouts as here when we moved back to the States, school in New Rochelle, same textbook. Really? Almost the same page. She came back here. It was really. This is boncos. I didn't know we were going down this road. Yeah. You were in the

Boy Scouts in England. That's like a glorious bastard. You're blending in with the local population. Everybody just got guns pointed under the table. Yeah. Yeah, the only time that it stopped being an American school is during Operation Desert Storm. Yes, you quickly went British. So British. They literally sent notices home. Give this to your parents and the notices said don't send your kids to school wearing American flag stuff. Like you normally do. No red, white, blue. Yeah.

Why? Yeah. Because I guess. You're a fucking Mark, dude. You're overseas. There's a fucking conflict going on. They don't want anything to do with that. Yeah, dude. I'd be French. Right. That's a Mark. Right. I remember being so worried. I had to tell my mom to put away her like, you know, the Ralph Lauren sweater that has the American flag on it that every mom I was like, don't mom. Yeah. Mom. Don't wear it. Yeah. Wait, so you're talking this is the original

Desert Storm, right? The original Desert Storm. Yeah. Not Iraqi Freedom. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That was the 90s. Early 90s. Yeah. I mean, the British are holding that too. Wouldn't they wouldn't they have been a target as well? Yeah. But I mean, like, are you looking to me? Like, I have the fucking answers to this. I don't like also I was like seven. Yeah. Yeah. Well, they said they said that going abroad anytime there's something going on, they were

like, hey, don't have an American flag on your book bag or whatever. And it's also travels like that. Fuck that. I'm coming in hot. I don't give a shit. Oakley's on the back of your hat. Y'all got a McDonald's. Oakley's in my seatbelt extender for the airplane. Coming in American baby. Yeah. England was a wild place though. Like every morning, the school bus would drive us into school and right outside the gate to the school was this like family of people

who lived in caravans and had like wild dogs. Gypsies. Yeah. Yeah. Gypsies. Gypsies. Literally gypsies. Shit. And we go like what what's with the people in the caravans that live outside our school? Is that an extreme truck or what? They just go those are the gypsies. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And you just it's it was you just let them be. Gypsies went on and still kind of did and I remember I went to Ireland in like the or like 2008 or nine and there was like just

proper that was like still an issue. Right. The gypsies. You don't bother them. They won't bother you. Yeah. But don't bother them. Yeah. Don't say anything. No, you just the gypsies are there. That's where the school is that we go. That's fucking right. Holy shit. This might be the I mean we've had some wild upbringings on this show. Dude. Living in an American world in England from Kentucky is like a banana's line. Yeah. Whose roots are in Kentucky? Your fathers? Both.

So which they may be cousins. I don't know. Same house actually. Weird. Both my parents were born in Kentucky. Okay. Both their parents moved them to Detroit when they were kids. Separately. Separately. Yeah, they didn't know each other. They weren't. Yeah. They weren't gypsies. No, they weren't. It's fucking strange. But like when the when the a bunch of jobs started popping up in the in the car factories. Uh huh. In Detroit, I guess a lot of people move over. Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah,

yeah, yeah, yeah. That makes sense. All right. My grandparents on both sides were kind of a part of that whole thing. Wow. Yeah. That's not and then your parents met in Detroit. They met in Detroit. Uh huh. Yeah. Then they my dad moved to LA and uh this guy's all over the place. I may do but here's the thing. This is what's so crazy about it. He advertising late eighties, early nineties. His dad was a fucking sharp guy. Yeah. And probably made a little bit of cash. Okay, so this

is my dad. I mean if you're going to England, yeah. Right. If you're changing countries for your job. Yeah, they're not bringing the bozos over. Yeah. Yeah, you're making some cash. There's no podcast in England asking me to fly over. No way. I can't afford that answer. So he had to do good. Yeah, so his gimmick was even as a younger guy, he's like whenever when you want to open a new branch in this other country and this other space, let me go open it for you. Let me be that guy.

I'm going to need a cost of living increase. Yeah. You're going to need to move me and and you know and that's how we'll do it. So, company he was working for in Detroit moves him to Los Angeles. He's just kind of, I think he and my mom were casually dating. So, he's kind of on the business side of advertising. Yeah. He's not doing the, he's not coming up with like the Nike swoop or anything like that. I don't, not that I know. If he had Nike swoop money, he would not be sitting

next to us. Yeah. I know that much. Yeah, like the the Undertaker jacket was a stretch, okay? So, so he moves to LA. He gets a cold and like he gets sick when he's in LA. Nobody's there with him. So, he calls my mom back in Detroit and he goes, look, I'm sick. Will you come to LA and marry me? What? Wow. He didn't have anybody to take care of him. That's like a very nineteen, you know, nineteen twenty thing. I'm sick. I have the fever. Will you marry me and take care of my

affairs? Mr. Roberts pulled the trigger early. Hey, I sprained my ankle. You want to have five kids? And so, my mom's looking around Detroit and she's like, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She's like stamping a hood of a model. Yeah, let's get the fuck out of here. Yeah, my mom was Rosie the Riveter and she's like done with that life, you know? Yeah. Just hear the shift bell go. All right, that's it. I'm out of here. I'm going to Los Angeles to get married. To a sick man. So, she moves to

LA and they get married in LA. All right. They move from LA to Australia. What? Shut up. You're lying. Yeah, they spent 11 years together before they had kids. They go from LA. I don't know if I'm going to get the Australian spots in the right order but I think it's LA to Melbourne, Australia. To open another place. Yup. Then to Sydney. It sounds like he's got people after him. What are you doing to me? This guy's got something ain't right. He's just spinning a globe and making

decisions. This is like catch me if you can. The cold was actually two flesh wounds. Yeah. We always had two bathrooms. One was for us and one was the tub that he put all the toy planes in. Yeah, he had to make his checks. Get the labels off. Yeah. And then after Sydney, they moved to Adelaide, Australia. Okay. Then from Adelaide, they moved to Brussels. Jesus. Brussels. They moved to Argentina. What? What? Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. There's no way he's not

CIA. Yeah, something. There's no way. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm in the advertising agency. First of all, there's no brand that's in all of those places. Yeah. You know what I mean? There's no consumer product that crosses that many boundaries. I mean, I'm almost positive at least one of those spots doesn't even have advertising. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Like, you know, they're not even capitalist country. This isn't like what the 80s or so. 70s. 70s. Yeah. Yeah. Something's up. Check the dates. It's

wherever like a government was overthrown at some point. The internet yet. I just opened up the Yugoslavia office. Doing pretty good. At any point growing up, did you see your dad disassemble a gun blindfolded? Yeah, for advertising. You know when he has meetings? Holy shit, man. He fucking did it. So, then they have my sister in Argentina. Okay. But when they're in Argentina, it's like war times. There's like people with machine guns on every corner. Like it's a Falkland Wars.

I guess so. I don't know. Yeah. Whatever. Whatever was going on there. It was a scary time. Mm hmm. And my mom was like, I can't raise a baby with guys with machine guns pointed at me everywhere. Like this is insane. Wait. Hold on. Sorry again. Go ahead. So, he happened to be in Argentina in the early years. When there was a when there was a a proxy war happening. Yeah. Yeah. Come on. Well, there's advertising. And then he you see commercials and the like. Make sure to drink coke.

Yeah. I'm sorry. I'm going to cut you off. But okay. So, your sister's born. Now, is this indicative of anybody else in in your family or are they all back in on the porch in in Kentucky? Everybody else in Kentucky. Yeah. Everybody else is in Kentucky. Or Michigan. And or Moscow. So, that's when they're like, all right. All right. My mom insists we got to stop this the whole racket. Sure. This is nuts. Let's let's assume aliases. Let's pick a space. Let's stop. Let's stop

running guns and settle down. So, I'll get new passports. Come with me. Take a shot at this thing. Yeah. And that's when they get to Westchester, New York. And that's when they're like, okay, this is going to be our spot. And then, I guess six years later probably is when my dad was like, one more trip. We're going to England. One last job. One more. They need a real man. One more run. Yeah. And you know, it really was suspicious because I remember three years into the England

trip. Mm hmm. I remember him sitting down. He's like, all right. You ready to move back to the States? I'm like, yeah, sounds great. Pack your bag. I'll get you new toys. And I'm like, okay, like he sat me down to have that conversation with me. I'm like, yeah, it's going to be great. And then, uh, and that because we didn't have any of the like all the toys were late getting to the UK. McDonald's sucked in the UK. Like it was terrible. Oh, that must have sucked. Terrible. Like

the Happy Meals didn't have toys half the time. So, it's not the right. It's not the right. Brits aren't a jolly people. You know what I mean? Right. So, like a month later, we're still in England. Mm hmm. And I was like, dad, I thought we were moving back home and he like with the frustration that only a dad can have that can't explain what's going on to his kid, he goes, well, we're not doing that. Oh. And I was like, all right, all right. Messed up. England's the spot then.

Yeah. A lot of clear, big guy. A lot of clear. Holy shit. So, we're not that off base by suspecting he might have done something else. I mean, I don't have all the answers. Like you're asking me all these questions. Have you seen pay stubs or anything? That's what I want to know. From an advertising company. Has that thought crossed your mind? No, I think he's in advertising. Train them good, huh? I don't have all the answers for you.

Uh no matter where we were, New York, England,

wherever, yeah, every July 4th week, we were in Paduca, Kentucky. They probably, that was probably a pretty good July 4th in Paduca, Kentucky. Yeah, it's great. Yeah. It was great. Lemonade and farsie I can see. You guys are like kings and queens coming home. They probably didn't know what to do. Yeah, I can't have a world like legit world travelers. I like I took it for granted, I guess, as a kid because you don't whatever is presented to you is normal. Yeah, of course.

But yeah, I mean, I can't imagine the shit they were just talking behind our backs. Oh, yeah. They must have just hated us. Yeah. Rich kids from England showing up in Paduca. And that was probably exciting for you to get back to to US soil for that week. Like you said, the toys, the the Walmart, Walmart, the TV shows, the cartoons. Yeah. You know, in England, they called them Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles. Get out of here. Ninja's too vile. Everybody's talking about

cancel culture now. I'm like, please, please. Yeah. Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles. Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles and they re-did the song. You know, Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles. You gotta be kidding me. They've been raping and pillaging fucking cities. Yeah, right? They got they've been dipping their ink and fucking balls on them. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's a fucking tale. Jeez. Yeah. And that only takes me to like nine years. I know, right? That's the crazy part. So then it didn't

get somewhat normal after that. After that. Yeah. After that. State of New Rock City. State of New Rock City. Did your mom work? No. He's definitely there's no way he wasn't fucking working for the company. Yeah. How many languages does he speak? He knows. I mean, he speaks whatever. It depends what country we're in. I've never asked him how many ladies. But he speaks it. Yeah. He can get enough to get by no matter where we are. What? I don't even think of that.

Enough to get by no matter where we are. And then he has all these little like I'm like, yeah, I got this Adidas track suit or whatever. He's like Adidas. Adidas. Yeah. Yeah. Adidas. He's like, no. Adi and Adidas. Yeah. And I'm like, where were you that you? No, we're good. I know that. Yeah. Adidas. Some tunnel in East Germany. Yeah. Jesus Christ. Yeah. That's who. So, you get back. Yeah. You've done all this shit and you're what? Nine, ten years old. Yeah. So, now

you're starting like you're a little kid. Right. So, is this when you start soaking up like, you know, you would you say you were more enthused about American culture coming back here? Does that make sense? You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. Like it's a because when we were in England, it was like a treat. All of it. Right. Like whatever bits of America that you could get out. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like you like the whole school was designed to mock like to to look like an

American school, right? Everything was like we're trying to get as much of America as we can. So, yeah, once once I was back here, I was like, yeah, this is this is it. Full throttle baby. Let's do it. Is that when you started getting into wrestling and stuff like that? Was that around that time? No, I was into wrestling in the UK. All the way over there. Yeah, because they had the WWE was was was over there. Yeah, I mean as early as I can remember. Yeah. That's

awesome. Yeah. They've been doing their thing that WWE. Yeah. I was excited that you were coming into because I was I was a kid of WWF. Right. Because I'm I'm older than you guys. I'm 45. So, you know, Hulk Hogan, fucking junkyard dog, that whole Saturday thing. It's fucking I was I was I was I like how you named Hulk Hogan is like we didn't know who Hulk I'm from before. I'm from before your time. You know, I'm talking back in the day when I was growing up. It was

John Cena. I don't know. What the fuck? You know, Hogan, Macho Man, Randy Savage. I was more of an IRS kind of guy. You know what I meant. I was excited. So, then, where did you guys settle in now in New Rochelle? Single family home? Apartment? What was this? No, we had it. Yeah, we had a single family house. Nice. Yeah. All right. Yeah. Very cool. It's the same house we left. We rented it out while we were gone. Really? For the four years and we came back to it. Damn.

Passive. Revenue stream. I like it. Dude, your dad's a fucking shark. Yeah. Yeah. This is a sharp guy. My dad always made money. Never spent money. Yeah. Really? Never spent money. I'm finding out that's what you gotta do. Yeah. Because now we're making it and I'm spending it quicker than I ever have. Right. You're like, it's a write-off and you're like, hey, you still it still doesn't it doesn't mean they give it back to you. Yeah. He was trying to explain that to me.

Dude. I feel like we're robbing every restaurant that we go to when he takes out the corporate card. He's got running out. He literally panics like the IRS is standing next to me. He's like, who's money is this? I'm like, it's our money. It's fine. Just listen to me. I only had the wings. I only had the wings. I know Sam's dad. Man, so somewhat normal childhood. Yeah. I thought you meant, hey, you know, moving multinational espionage. Normal. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And

then after that, normal, you know, I mean, I wasn't an outdoorsy kid. Yeah. I was out of the Cub Scouts by fifth grade because it was, I mean, once they were like, hey, let's go camping. I'm like, whoa, hey, I'll build the car maybe. I'll do the Derby. Yeah. Yeah. I went Derby. I'm good because I'd paint it up like, you know, wrestling cars like this is the Macho Man car. This is gonna be, but like after that, they were like, and especially when they started kind of

creeping in with the hazing. Yeah. Like I'd watch when like, there was hazing? Yeah. When you get to like Boy Scout level like sixth grade and they're like, oh, you got to prove that you could tie this knot. Yeah. I'm not sleeping in the woods with a guy with a mustache. Yeah. I don't think so. All right. Let's get into some RU garbage questions. I kind of want to go straight up the middle here. You want to go back then or do you want to do now? Because he lives in the suburbs now

as well. He lives in the suburbs now. I'd like to know a little bit more about once he got here and got settled. Okay. Because New Rochelle, you know, state of New York, we can wash away international travel pretty quickly. Yeah. I used to work in New Rochelle. There's parts of it that are a little dicey. Yeah. Yeah. There's a there's a real clear halfway point. Yes. There's a McDonald's there that looks like fucking Syria, dude. It is a tough look. I think you grew up right down the

street. That's my McDonald's. Yeah. I mean, I went to birthday parties. Holy shit. All right. So what was the name of the street that you grew up on? I don't think I want to say the name of the street I grew up on. They're there. They're near enough. Yeah. Fair enough. Yeah. Yeah. How about the name of the grocery store? Well, it was it started as the finest and then became stop and shop. Stop and shops are okay. The finest. I don't know what the I don't know what the finest

before it was the stop and shop. It was this is the best one over here. The finest sounds like some guy really, you know, making it sound better. Right. Yeah. The finest. The finest, but it wasn't like it wasn't one of those like a you know, gourmet. Sure. Sort of like all foods. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The fucking carts with the locks on the wheels. Yeah. The finest generally doesn't have to say that they are the finest. Yes. Right. Exactly. Wegmans isn't being like, hey, we're

awesome. They're just going, hey, we're Wegmans. We let the products speak for you. So, you know what I mean? Yeah. The finest. Yeah. By the way, first guest ever to not want to give up the street. No, there's been two or three. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's people that still that people that still live. All sudden the blow dart just hit me in the throat. Yeah. I do have that. Well, it's also like, tell tens of thousands of people where your family is. It's like, you know what I mean? Like,

what the fuck? When people move out of it, I assume they moved on from there. I love though that you're already getting to the point where I'm like, you got a lot of questions over there. You ask a lot of questions. What do you work for the school newspaper? That opens the door. All right, go ahead, Kip. I kind of want to know we can jump back and forth a little bit. Now you have a do you have a garage now single family home now? Yeah, we have a well, yeah, we have a

garage but we can't fit the car in it. It's like a real small garage. Isn't it is okay. It's attached to the house. Okay. Is it wait? Is it you can't fit it just because it's too small for a car or you just have so much shit in there? It's it's real small for a car. Okay. Yeah, it's a real small garage but it is a garage attached to the house. Okay. I don't know if I can picture that. That's more of a shed, I feel. That's an attached shed. It's probably closer to a shed. If I could

compare it to the garage I grew up with, I would put this in the shed. Is this an older home? So, we were told that the house that we lived in was once the servants quarters to the house next door to us. The house you live in now? Yeah. Was the servants quarters from the house? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. That's awesome. It's like a smallest house on a nice street. Okay. You know where you're like, wait, what is that house? You're right there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We can't afford anything

and oh, hold on. Yeah. Kids, we just got a new zip code. Yeah. Okay. Okay. That's awesome. Do you have a do you have a fridge in the shed garage currently or no? We have a freezer. Okay. Like one of those deep freezers. Yeah. Okay. Classy. Classy. Needs. It was for breast milk initially. Weird. Okay. You only got two kids. What the fuck? We give it out to the neighbors. Yeah. No, now it ends up, it would be good for meat. Like if we hunted and stuff like that, but it ends up just being home to

like big Costco boxes of egos. That ain't gonna roll with that. I'll give you that. Not too shabby. Freezer burning there. No. Keep it nice. Yeah. No freezer burn. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Quite a bit of burn. Those things, those things will, those things will freezer burn in like 24 hours. Oh, yeah. Those things can get cooking quick. And when I see freezer burn, it's one of those things where you go like that. I mean, I guess there's just freezer burn. Yeah. I wouldn't even start to fathom

how to. Did I've eaten the egos that look like they've been in like fucking ice age? Oh, yeah. You just smash them over the sink and get the, get the ice off. Cause you put them in the toaster, it'll melt. That weird taste though. You can, you can tell. It's tough to shake it. There's a couple winters in there. Why is this soggy? Hey, you need a lot of angiomime on that thing. Yeah. Dude, garage freezers run on liquid nitrogen. There's nothing colder than that.

You can keep DNA in there if you wanted to. They got 10 Williams in there. He did. He did keep DNA in there. Okay. Fuck. What do you got, Foley? What do I got? All right. Popping around here. Does anybody in your immediate family have a birthday on a holiday? Uh, any Christmas babies or July 4th babies? No. Excellent. No. Do you share a birthday with anybody in your family? No. Okay. Nice. You only got one strike against you so far. Okay. It's kids, kids

coming up classy. All right. What, uh, I mean, the jacket says a lot. Let's not forget about the jacket. Okay. That was before the questions started. True. Those are the freshest Nikes that have ever been in the studio. What's the dichotomy of man? He's gotta conduct you up. I mean, he has an embroidered, an embroidered undertaker jacket. I know, but it's pretty sweet. I'm saying it's sick. It's sick. It's good. Yeah. Yeah. And you see the back of it. It's a

big picture of the undertaker out of my camera. Come on. We gotta show it. Oh my. That's fucking sweet, dude. I like the undertaker. Yeah. We got that. So, you're more of a cane man. Um, what, uh, what'd you get on your SATs? There you go. Thirteeen. What? Twenty. Damn. That English education did him right. Okay. I'll tell you what happened there. What's a Syracuse? Had my dad take him for me. Yeah. So, you should it when yeah, thirteen twenty. I remember. You could have

stopped at thirteen if you were shocked. Yeah. Yeah. You're the smartest guy in the room right now. Maybe it's twelve thirty. Still still okay. I'm gonna say twelve thirty because there's no I think the deal was my dad said you could go as eleven fifty and still be the smartest guy in the building. Twelve thirty is where I'm gonna stay. Okay. Because my dad said if you because my parents were convinced that I was smarter than any piece of paper was letting on. Okay. That I

was sitting that I was not. Sure. Achieving to my potential and that I needed incentive. I was an incentive based learner. Okay. So, WWE was coming to town. Oh. It was King of the Ring, Raw and Smackdown in a row one night after the other. My dad said if you could break thirteen hundred on your SATs, I'll figure out a way. I'll get you front row seats to all three of those shows. What? That's gonna call in some favors. Yeah. That's what he's gonna do.

And I didn't know how he was playing. I'm gonna talk to a Sheik or something. Somebody somebody in Abu Dhabi's getting your mind sitting next to a Saudi prince. Yeah. Because I've never been anywhere near the front row. I was like nuts. And is this at the garden? No, this it was definitely Long Island was where King of the Ring was. Okay. They're probably all in Long Island. Probably at the uh National Coliseum. Uh so, I'm going like okay and so when the

grade comes back and I get a twelve thirty, my parents are like like my dad had this look like he just got saved by the skin on his teeth. They had no faith. A deal's a deal. That anywhere near a thirteen hundred was gonna come. He was like, all right. So, he ended up getting me like, you know, section one hundred tickets to King of the Ring. And he was like, all right, that's good for twelve thirty. Damn. But yeah. Okay. Twelve thirty. Good. Twelve thirty. And what

did you study at Syracuse? What was your major? I ended up leaving with a sociology degree. Okay. Right. So, I kind of looked the way you said that. I ended up leaving. They didn't give it to me. I took it on the way out. That's all I could grab out of the dean's office. They were closing in on me. I guess when you got that many beers in you, it's like the focus. So, that was another moment, right? Like, I applied to NYU early decision and I didn't get it. Love the confidence.

The early decision. Early decision. NYU, let's go. And I didn't get in and I was like, super bummed and I never like my parents, the way they were talking to me, it was like, like, we're sensitive to how you're feeling right now. But like, what did you think was gonna happen? Like, where, where did you see that going? Because this is exactly the letter that we thought you were gonna get. Yeah. Yeah. So, when I got into Syracuse, I mean, I, it's one thing when your parents

are like happy for you, but when they're literally shocked, like, this must be a mistake. You can read it all on their face and I'm, and that's the face that I got from them. So, I tried to get into broadcasting school into a new house at Syracuse. Okay. And uh. Is that a good program? It's the best. Okay. Dick Clark, everybody, everybody. It's the best broadcasting school there is. I didn't get into it. But they got me. What are those bozos? They're looking at you now.

Yeah, that's right. So, they let me into the, the kind of broader college of arts and sciences. We'll let you fuck around in the corner for a couple of years. Yeah. Yeah. And they go, Hey, here's the good news. If you can get a 3.5 GPA anywhere in Syracuse. You can go to tickets. You can go to summer slide. You can, you can meet Doink and Dink. Do you like sugar, right? This guy's working all on bribes. Everything, everything.

They go, if you get a 3.5 GPA, you can transfer into, into Newhouse Broadcasting School. No questions asked. Nice. I was like, okay. So, I got the Syracuse. I'm like, that's my plan. One week. I was like, that's not that's not going to happen. So, then I found out there was this other film major art film, not like broadcast or film where they like teach you how to make films but not how to make money making films, right? Yeah. So, I was like, okay, that's the

what I'm going to do because anybody can get into that. Sure. So, after a year in Syracuse, I transferred over there. I did that for two years, I guess. And then I ended up interning for Opie and Anthony. Okay. Never heard of them. Right. Yeah. So, I was good. That was your first job. My, your first radio job. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. This is in the summer. Summer between my third and fourth year at Syracuse. Okay. I say that because they wanted me to do a fifth year

because I was a year late getting into that film program I told you about. Gotcha. Right. So, after the internship, one of the guys there was like, ah, we would have kept you out for another semester but you're going, you're going to Syracuse and I'm like, oh, I really made an impression on these guys. I'm like, I can't, I mean, maybe I can go back to Syracuse for a year but I can't go back to Syracuse for two years. Sure. So, I started going through the course catalog

and I was like, okay, what, what classes have I taken? Sorry, listing all the classes that I took. What is a major? Like, what constitutes? Man. A major. Are you asking me? Right. You got the wrong guy. Yeah. And I was like, well, I took all these sociology classes in the beginning. Sure. What can I get? Right. What I have? What's the fastest exit? Can I piece in a major together? Bro. Dude. If I take a year's worth of sociology classes, does that a major

make? Does that a major make? And the answer is yes. Yeah. So, I go on the computer and I just start switching myself out of all these classes. I like it. Half the year goes by and I'm taking all these sociology classes and I go to my. Did you bounce this off anybody before? No. Okay. I this is because Obey and Anthony showed interesting. They showed the slightest amount of interest. So, it's like, fuck it. Why would I? Why would I wait school when I'm

right? This is where I work at. And I go like, I'm going to drop out of school. This is the height of this is they're big. Right. They're like, I mean, they're huge at this point. And I go, I'm going to drop out of school. My dad was like, no problem, but the rent is super expensive to live in a house. Whose house? His house. Oh. In New Rochelle. In his house. I play hardball. Yeah. He's going to charge me a lot of rent. If I'm going to drop out of school. And you're

probably interned. You'd be interning at. No money. Right. For free. So, I'm like, okay. So, dropping out of school, it's not part of the game here. Can you throw a number at you? No. I mean, he just made it clear like you can't afford it. That's the number. Whatever you can afford, it's five dollars more. Yeah. Yeah. So, it's like, okay. So, I went, I pieced together my major. I did that for the first half of the year. Then, I went to my advisor still in the film

program by the way. And I was like, look dude. Like, he's like, what the fuck are you doing? You're in 14 sociology classes right now. It's like, I need you to sign this paper that gets me out of the film program. I have not taken any of these classes and I took all sociology classes. I just need you to sign the paper. It's done. And he's like, like he's pissed because he's like, I'm the just signed and he signed the paper. I got the rest of my sociology credits. Damn. And

I got out of Syracuse. Is that trash? I don't know. He makes garbage. I mean, he went through college like he had five dollars at the dollar menu. I gotta get a meal here. Hey, can you wave the taxes? Yeah. Yeah. It's like by the letter of the law. Like, you said a dollar is a dollar. This is dollar menu. It doesn't say dollar plus tax menu, right? Yeah. No drink. Just a water cup, please. That's exactly buddy. All right. So, and then went to work for ONA. Then went to work

for ONA for free for a while and then for a little bit of money and then, you know, so. Did your dad, did he let you stay in the house? Is that what you were operating out of? Once I got the degree, he, yeah, he didn't charge, he didn't charge me rent. Yeah. Man. Yeah. Oh, this guy's a, I mean, his whole family, his whole family's all over the place to be honest with you. Okay. What are your brother and sister doing? They, uh, my sister works in advertising.

Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Oh, here we go. My sister's in the family business. I don't need any danger. She works for the company, okay? Yeah. And my brother works in, uh, film development-ish. Okay. Yeah. Man. Yeah, kid's a hustler. Yeah. Yeah. It's a mover and a shaker. I know, man. I know. I've never heard of anybody doing that. I just failed out of school. I just went down with the ship. Yeah. Yeah. That's nuts. Yeah, I always like to, you know, like, I think

there's a way I can still win here without having to play this game. That was the thing I could still win this thing. You did it. You piece the major. It was a hill mayor. You're a let's let me fucking, there's there's five seconds left. And now I'm a sociologist. Yeah. With a minor in criminal justice. Yeah. And by the way, because Syracuse has such a great broadcasting school, they're like, everybody, Syracuse, you're probably

new house, huh? And I'm like, ah, you know, you don't tell anybody that you didn't go to new house. Did they ever come back and kind of, does Syracuse recognize you as like a huge broadcaster? Nothing. Really? Really? Those fucking pussy. Let me tell you something. During March Madness, they put out the hundred and one most famous graduates of Syracuse. You're not on there. Nowhere near. Who's number one? Alright, there were names on that list

that you didn't know. Not by a mile. The only thing I knew about those names is that my name was bigger. That's what I knew. That's crazy. Yeah. Man, you're never a hero in your hometown, right? Right. You gotta leave for for so they can love you. Fuck them. That's insane. You should have been on that list just for the way you fucking finagled your degree. Yeah. It's like Van Wilde. He's he is on top ten dirt bags. Yeah. Yeah, they can't have me going back

for commencement. I'll let the kids know. You know, you don't have to. Hey, listen, yeah. What do you got? Three art credits already? You got your cutting deals. Yeah. Alright. You're trading me two criminal justice credits. You're trading me two English credits and then boom, you're a doctor. Right. Right. You got beat out by a kicker for the Steelers. Come on. That's a shame, dude. Come on. That's come on. And what did he do for Syracuse? I mean, and you've

been I mean, you've had a you've had a proper broadcasting career. Legendary. Legendary. The last twenty twenty years probably, right? Just the fact that I've survived in the game. Is nuts. Come on. I mean, you're on one of the biggest show, the biggest radio shows of all time, right? They were huge. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And now you're on fucking are you garbage? Come on. Which is also the biggest. Everybody's new favorite podcast, by the way. Patton Pendant. Jesus. I

mean, have you seen these YouTube numbers? They're true to roof. Don't get me started on a Patreon. I think it's cooking. Don't get me started on it. Don't start out with me, Sam. Money. Do you guys go out to eat a lot? Well, I mean, we haven't been fully go. Can I come with you? Not for the last year, obviously. Not for the last year. And you know, I mean, I think having a couple kids threw a monkey wrench into that. But before that, yeah, dinner in a movie was a

pretty regular. Is it a pretty hectic household? Is everybody moving and shaking? Pretty much constantly? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Lots of movement in the household. Yeah. Okay. Um, if you did go out to eat, do you refer to this item as appetizers or starters? What would you use? What terminology would you use? Are they appetizers or are they starters? Appetizer.

That is tough. That's a tough, tough test. I sat down on a couch, you know, a week before the first time I

Well, it is like, hey man, this guy knows how to tie a bow tie. Oh, how do you learn that? WrestleMania. Yeah, that's true. Like there is this like. Let us not forget the jacket.

That's a new thing. You don't make Chex. That's a new thing, dude. If you're back in the day, you're a fucking bozo if you're making your own Chex Mix. That's why I ask the question. Okay. So, buying it's classier? No. Chex Mix in general stinks. I understand. But if you're making

it, you're garbage. I would tell you. If you don't make it like the gentleman, Mr. Roberts. Like sir Sam over here. Yeah. Yeah. Although, I do remember, you know, my mom would make a banana pudding and I remember having like a a girlfriend come over the house and my mom made her her banana pudding. Famous banana pudding. Right. And and my girlfriend at the time, she was like, oh man, where'd you get this recipe? And my mom was like, oh, it's passed down from

my mom. Like, oh, it's my grandma's recipe. And as soon as my girlfriend left the house, she was like, that recipe's on the back of the Nilla Wafers box. That's the secret family recipe. I like it. Keep up appearances. Rule number one. It's family business. Got that off a box of rips. Holy shit. Who puts Nilla Wafers in a banana pudding if it's not the Nilla Wafers recipe? True. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Shout out to banana pudding though.

Big fan. No. Yeah. Anyone in your family smoke a pipe? My dad currently or ever? Let's go ever. My dad spent a period of time smoking a pipe. He did. He's got a wine after all the torture. After a long day of pulling out people's fingernails. Yeah. I feel like you had a piano in your house growing up that didn't have piano wire in it. Your dad was cultured, right? Yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. He's lived in fucking 15 countries. He's gotta be. Yeah. My dad to this day still

And uh and yeah and he smoked a pipe for a period of time. Did he shave with a straight razor or with like uh no he well probably the metal ones like the real the real no he would use like Gillette. Mm hmm. Except I think it was when his company was advertising with Gillette. Like I said, the

Uh do you currently have a pocket knife on you? No. I think a guy like this this caliber is gonna be walking around with a fucking Swiss army knife. I thought you were gonna be do better. Right. So did I. I thought you're gonna be real trash. Okay. Um I thought you

showered in Mountain Dew. That's honestly what I was expecting. Um okay. If you have you this is a two-part question. Have you ever owned a ping pong table, a pool table, or a bumper pool table? If so, what room were they in in the house? No, we've never owned any of those things. Okay. I mean, come on. We used them in Kentucky a lot like the resort that you were with the whores. The resort. The resort. It was called the resort. I you didn't stay with family. You

guys stayed at a resort with the whole family would go into the resort. It's like a motel by other standards. Wait, so your family was from Kentucky. Well, they were also don't forget they were just placed to Michigan too. So, kind of everybody would be back in Kentucky. They would all meet back and they would all get rooms at this motel. But bottom line, almost everybody but you was vacationing in basically their hometown. No, it's not coming from a degree. I mean,

look, some were coming from Michigan. Others were like I think one came from Nebraska. But yeah, I mean, look, it weren't on a beach. It was what I'm saying. It was not a beach. Yeah. It was not a tropical locale. Yeah, no. No. What did the resort offer? They had a pool. They had a pool. Above ground. Yeah. You know, Kentucky summers get real hot so they had like a playground but everything was made of metal. Oh, so. So, everything you touched it would just

grill. Remember that? Yeah. You know, they did not care in the eighties and nineties about playground safety. They didn't know any better. You could you could fry eggs on a slide. Oh my god. Yeah. And they had a restaurant there. They always knew we were coming every year. Like they were like, oh, this is I think, you know, the Roberts are showing up. Yeah. This is it. They're throwing some cash. This is it. They're from Argentina and they're throwing

some pesos. Yeah. Throwing some extra hush puppies. The Roberts. The hush puppies were huge, man. Hush puppies were huge down there. This is. Sorry. Go ahead. This is big. Did your family wear matching t-shirts when at the resort? No. Like Roberts reunion. That's a great question. 1992. No. But then there was a wider family reunion. Oh. Right. So, it was like this family reunion at the resort was just the immediate family. My dad's brothers and sisters and their

kids and that's it. Okay. Right. Then there was the bigger reunion. They're coming out of the woodwork. Right. When you got the bigger reunion, that's not you're we're not going down a good road here. Yeah. This is where like cousin Puddin would be there. Puddin. That's a real guy. That's a guy. I would have figured it was a girl. No, that's a guy. I would have figured Puddin was a girl. Right. What's Puddin do? I don't know. He's a he has a good time. He's a happy guy. He's

hanging out. I just want to say after the tale that you have told us and the deflection of the questions, the fact that we're like in the 50th minute here and you just go ahead and give yourself up for with an uncle Puddin. Cousin. Cousin. Actually, these are my dad's cousins. So, I don't know if he's my great cousin. This guy's trash. Cousin Puddin. Hey, everybody gets a mulligan. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. That was the like that was the big like Roberts extended like I don't

know how I'm related to this person. That's why family reunions are fucking. You should never be meeting a family member at a family reunion. Like, oh, who are you? You're like, why the fuck am I meeting you then? It doesn't matter. Yeah. I saw any of those people on the street today. Head down. I wouldn't know. I wouldn't even know to put my head down. Yeah. I fucking hate them. We went to one and after like an hour, I was like, yo, let's go. Let's go. Get

the fuck out of here. This is a room full of strangers. Was there Roberts t-shirts going around at the extended one or no? I think at the extended one, there were. Okay. So, at the extended one, at one point, I'm sure there were t-shirts. You know, I can't like picture it but I'm sure there were t-shirts. I remember at one point. A cousin was brought these books that they were dating an FBI person who had like all this access, right? And they looked up this. That's not good.

Hugely extended family tree and they printed up a book that thick and they started handing them out to everybody to see you. Here's who you're related to. Here's who you're related to. Your dad's name was redacted. It's like black bars on everything. Wait, so what you're telling me is you have multiple family members with files in the FBI? Yeah, I guess so. Yeah. Yeah. So, there were always like souvenirs and things like that. Just everybody's mugshot. Yeah.

Here's Putin in 98, 99 and again in 02. Holy shit. Yeah. What a tale. Yeah. Let's see. Have you ever owned a chia pet? No. Do you have a mag light flashlight? No. Do you have flares in your car? No. What? Flares. I don't have flares. Road flares. What's he work for the fire department? Who the fuck has road flares? Some people. Yeah, if you're doing a bank job or something. You're telling me you never you never drove by somebody that was changing the tire and they had

like the flares out and they were doing it right. It's garbage. No, I mean, I barely I barely know how to change this. This is a triple A guy, right? Yeah. Yeah. Can we ask what kind of car you drive now? Wrangler. Okay. That's trash. Brand new. I mean, I've had it for a couple years. It was four door, two door. Now, it's a four door, but this is my third Wrangler. That's trash. It's so weird because you're like absolutely no trash on certain on most things and the

things you do go trashy on you really go into it. Yeah. Who has multiple jeeps? You buy one then realize what the fuck am I doing? And then you get a real car. You're going down. What color is the Wrangler? Don't say yellow. No, the one I have now is gray. When was the last time you drove it without the doors on it? Oh, it's been a while. Okay. It's been a while. I mean, I wouldn't I don't even know if this four door has had the doors taken off. Does your wife have a car? Yeah, she drives

like a Subaru. Like a regular car. Like a kids and all that kind of stuff. Yeah. Alright. Thank god. Yeah. Okay. Is there any other a dish like do you have anything after a market products or anything tricked out on the Wrangler? No. Do you have like the chrome grill? Nothing. Do you do the Jeep wave when you see other people in a Jeep? Only if they initiated. I'm not going to turn somebody's Jeep wave down, but I won't start it. You know, this is something I might

have done years ago. Okay. In my first, even maybe my second Jeep. Now that I know my third Jeep, it's like do I need to wave to everybody? Nothing drives me crazier than that. The fucking Jeep wave. Could be jealousy. I don't know. Yeah. If they initiated though, I would never turn it down. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's common courtesy. Yeah. Hmm. Have you ever seen the Harlem Globetrotters? No, but in high school, whoever the bootleg version of the Harlem Globetrotters is, there's a

there's a lesser version. No, there's not. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's it's like a high school basketball. Yeah. There's a, there's a, there's a lesser version of the Harlem Globetrotters. That's. The generals? The guys they beat up on it all the time? No, it's like a totally different faction that just stole their entire act. The Bronx tri-states. Yeah. And I've seen them, they uh, in like my high school, my high school got them to come out and do like a, you know, fake Harlem

Globetrotters versus the teachers. Gotcha. You know, game for the kids to all come and yeah. Hmm. So, I saw that, I saw them. But yeah, so not only, so I haven't seen the Harlem Globetrotters, but I have seen the bootleg Harlem Globetrotters. Yes, that's that's that's what I'm saying. When he goes trashing, he's like really fucking good. Yeah. Yeah. Now, where were you guys, where were you guys going on vacation now? Like as a family, you and your wife and the kids, what

were you take them? Uh, it's been a really, I don't take them back down to Kentucky. Like if they've been down to this the kids haven't, my wife has. Okay. And she was disgusting. Where is she from? If you don't mind me asking. She's from Westchester. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She was, I mean, disgusted to the point where like, she didn't like pudding. No, she's, I mean, nice enough guy, just not. Yeah. Yeah. No, I mean, like, I like, we had to stay in the same resort.

Resort. Yeah. Yeah. Really? We stayed, rooms still smell like cigarettes in 20, whatever it was, probably 18, seven, 16, even in 2015 for a hotel room to still smell like cigarettes. It's a lot of man. Yeah. It's a tough one. Yeah. It's a tough one to get down. Yeah. Well, we, we found by from doing the show, the South plays by their own rules. Yeah. You have to grade them on a curve. Yeah. I mean, it's very, the South does whatever the fuck they want. Yeah. When

she said it when she was like, oh, it's a resort and I was like, yeah. And she's like, oh, like, can I get like, uh, a massage or a spa? Yeah. Is there a spa? I mean, I, I mean, I can spray you with the hose if you want. Yeah. I'm, if pudding gets a couple of drinks in them, don't worry. Yeah. He gets hands. Hands all over. Yeah. Plenty of guys there will give you a rub down. Where will you, where will you go now? Where will you guys go? What's the typical summer

vacation? Uh, I think the last time I took my wife on vacation was when she was pregnant with our two year old and I took her to Disney world, but we didn't bring our now four year old. It was just us. And also, I didn't realize until we got there that pregnant women can't ride this. Oh my God. So it's like, you wait here, sweetheart. Wait a minute. What'd you do with your four year old? Left him with my parents. He was two or, you know, one and a

half, two years old. And how can we didn't take him? Because it would have been too much. See again, but the adults going to Disney with no kids. You crash. You go in. A pregnant wife. Pregnant wife at Disney. And we didn't, I didn't know she couldn't ride the rides until we got there. She can't drive. I didn't even consider it. Like nothing crossed your head that she can't go upside down on our roller coaster. Didn't even consider it. So what'd you do?

I got drunk at Epcot. Yeah. Here. Look, I told her, look, half the experience is the line. Yeah. Right. I mean, looking at the. The ride's over in 90 seconds. Right. Right. So. Hey honey, you want to go to Florida and watch me have fun? Yeah. Oh, that's beautiful. Yeah. I'm not, but I'm also not a big vacation. I have to be dragged out on vacation. Man. Do you remember what your first, like when you got your first big contract or whatever one thinks about it really

working out when you were younger, do you remember what you bought? Was it, was there like a big purchase? The first purchase. A big TV or a bar. A jet ski or something like that. Hot tub. Yeah. Probably a TV. I mean, I held out for a long time with the TVs getting hand me downs from people. I was rocking a tube TV. You get that from your dad. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. To the point where like in the opiate Anthony days, they were busting my balls for not

having a very nice television set and Russell Simmons came in studio and they showed, they were like, Russell, like, see Sam over there? This is TV. He gave me a hundred dollars on the spot. He said, you need to buy a new TV right now. So yeah, I think it was a, yeah, it was a big TV. When we moved into the house that we're in now, I put a giant TV in the basement, which is my, where I put my, my studio's there, all my stuff is there. Nice studio, by the way. Very nice

studio. And it, I mean, it was months before my wife came down and she was like, it's bigger than the TV in the living room. What are you doing? Why would you put that down here? But yeah, it's probably, it's probably a TV, you know, putting the down payment on the house. Sure. Yeah. So you're, you're, you're conservative when it comes to that. You're not there blowing money. I try to, I mean, look, sometimes we get a little crazy during the pandemic. I paid a whole bunch of

money for a shirt that Mick Foley wore at WrestleMania 2000. Check, please. Can I ask you what a whole bunch of money is? All right. So, and we'll wrap it up here. If it's more than nine dollars, it's too much money. I'm sitting there right and I was, I had a show on the WWE network. Right. And I would have like wrestlers on every episode and I asked Mick Foley to do it. And he was like, yeah, of course. And we're talking. And one of the things he's plugging, and Mick Foley loves

a dollar, you know, he loves it. Yeah. So one of the things he's plugging is he's going to go do this live auction on Facebook that this company is going to do. And, and he told me, he goes, and I'll just tell you, Sam, I found the shirt that I wore in the main event of WrestleMania 2000. Oh, and I'm going to auction it off. And I was like, and where was this auction going to take place? And so the thing that he was plugging on the show, I just logged on to it on the Facebook

page and like, he's like, here's the shirt. And so I'd start bidding and they're like, Sam Roberts, Sam Roberts? Like, is that Sam Roberts who works for WWE? He's just, he just bid it. Like the guy who I was on his show plugging this thing, he's just bidding on this now. Kim lives it for real, man. Yeah. And so yeah, you know, $1,800 is the type of money that you'll spend. He's only been in the WrestleMania main event one time. That's the only time he wore a green flannel. So it's

very distinct. Wow. And yeah, I don't know how to call this guy. Yeah. So are you nuts? Babe, babe, it's game worn. Yeah, that's right. And she goes, oh yeah. So I put, she had to be pissed. They're like, oh, so I'm doing it on the Facebook thing and she's next to me. And so I'm like typing in and like the volume's up because I'm listening to them on video as they're like doing this thing. And they're like, oh, Sam Roberts just put in $1,800 and my wife is like, you did what? I go, just

trust me. So another Sam Roberts, I swear. I go like this. He only main event in WrestleMania one time and it's the only time he wore a green. Jay, this shirt is gonna go for a lot more than 1800. All I'm doing is boosting it up for my pal, Mick. I just want to make sure that it goes at the right price. And as I'm explaining it to her, like, I'll never actually have to pay this. So, all right. Don't you have breast milk to make? You don't know garbage across the board. But it's not across the

board. That's the thing. It's not across the board. These guys are fucking class act. Has he made a couple of mistakes from time to time? Sure. Like I said, everybody gets a couple Mulligans everywhere. You know what I mean? We're all friends here. Everybody's got a past. Yeah. I'm saying garbage. But I mean, the big shirt happened like within the last six months. Hmm. Why would you do that? Why would you say that? I'm telling you. See, call me an asshole. I'm the banana.

The banana pudding, the person pudding. What's person? The guy named Putin. The multiple, multiple Jeep Wranglers. You gotta, you gotta, you gotta, but you're just, you're just discrediting England. Boom. You're discrediting. That's his dad. He had no choice in that college was a tough look to now. But that was a business decision that set him off on a rocket ship of success. That's true. The jacket and that there's innovation behind that innovation. Who puts a

fucking, who pieces together a major in college? Yeah. That's insane. Yeah, just drop out like a gentleman. Huh. I mean, you gotta, you gotta, you gotta take the the points from both columns, right? I feel like sometimes we look at the trash column and we just start ignoring all the great things that we learned. I'm trying to, I'm trying to, I'm trying. We get your old man in here, class across the board. I'm not saying that. Yeah. The apple that fell from

the tree. Go a little far. Yeah. Well, he wrote, you rolled a little. Keep rolling. Keep rolling. I'll give you that. I don't think you're not fully trash. You fell from a classy tree and you rolled a little bit. Yeah. You rolled a little bit. Okay. But class, I mean, he's a classy guy. He can walk in both worlds. Of course. My vote doesn't count, but I say 60 40. These guys class. Yeah, I'm gonna do that. 60 40 class. 60 40. 60 40. Yeah. Let me ask you that. What was

them? You made me think of something. What was you say was the most classy event you've ever been to in your whole life? Like a black tie fair wedding or like a fundraiser. Well, I mean, who's the most who's the most famous person you've been around in a social setting? That would that would work as a question. I mean, any presidents anything like that? I'm related to Thomas Jefferson. It's cancer culture. That's not a good look though.

Can we 20 years ago? That's a good plug. I might get you into the resort down in Kentucky. Then I'm gonna fly in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, my friend. Yeah. Um related to Thomas Jefferson. Yeah, you know, I mean, everybody says that though. I know. How can you prove it? You know, I'm gonna say, what am I gonna tell you? Am I gonna tell you Stone Cold Steve Austin or not? You know, I mean, what am I gonna tell you here? I'm not trying to put myself there

whole. What can I tell you when when you're talking to me about black tie affairs and the first thing that pops into my mind is the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony. That's am I gonna say that out loud? That's fucking awesome. That's I mean, it's class. It just so happens to be the world that he works in. It's class. Dude, a whole and he removed that. Use a rock and roll Hall of Fame. Yes. NFL Hall of Fame. I'm giving it to him. I think that's class. Man, he's he's really
