All right, Jamokes, what's going on?

Thursday night, fresh off of Thursday night football where the Bronze defeated Pittsburgh. So the Steelers keeping the Ravens in that division race. I mean, look, you got the Steelers, you got the Ravens in that division race. I mean, look, you got the Steelers. You got the Ravens. You got the Bengals who can still play. Now you got Jameis getting a dub tonight. Good for Jameis. It is impossible to not root for the guy.

Even though, like we forget that Jameis, he had some sort of sexual assault thing, which I guess went away or whatever. It was in an Uber or something. He grabbed a chick's crotch or something, an Uber, or felt up an Uber driver. Although now that you really see him, you think that maybe he wasn't even feeling the chick up at all. He's just very handsy. I feel like he was probably just reaching over like, hey, great job. Yeah.

You know, the Lord loves you. You know, just a touchy-feely guy. He totally is. So you know what? I'm going to disregard that because that's gone away, like a touchy-feely guy. He totally is. So you know what? I'm going to disregard that because that's gone away anyway. And this is just a good guy. He stole some crab legs once. Who gives a shit?

Dude, he's impossible to not like. And I said this when he was with the Saints, that I would have kept Jameis over going to get Derek Carr any day of the week. Jameis would have been considerably cheaper, far more likable. You wouldn't be buried in this hell of the salary cap because you're paying a shitty quarterback $50 million a year again next year. You could have had Jameis, equal productivity, maybe a few more interceptions, but who fucking cares? And it would have been a more enjoyable experience because Jameis is a fun-loving,

likable guy. But instead, we're stuck with Derek Carr who is literally the opposite of fun not a fun person not fun to watch just a total schmuck whereas Jameis is out here and like you wonder when you see people who who are that nice and that you know spiritual and that that happy all the time you're like are you full of shit like are you fucking with me like when I watch Jameis I'm like how much of this is authentic does this guy ever have a bad day is he ever angry does he yell at his kids do he and his wife have words ever but like I don't believe they do I just think this like part of it's because he's kind of a doofus like it's kind of like he's he's dumb and that's fine like He just seems kind of dumb and just very happy and very goofy,

and he's lovable. He's just a lovable doof. I wouldn't want him to be the franchise quarterback for my team or anything, but again, if it were a situation like the Saints, and the Saints could have Derek Carr for $150 million or Jameis Winston for like $10 million or whatever it is for like you know whatever I'm taking Jameis because he's likable and I want to root for him I don't want to root for Derek Carr I want Derek Carr to lose he is an asshole he is unlikable he's a dick whereas Jameis like he can

throw five picks and I'm like that's okay he's cute and I'm happy for him and he loves Jesus and he says dumb shit and it's fun. So isn't it funny though, like, is there a bigger contrast between Jameis and Deshaun Watson? No, the juxtaposition is pretty wild. But again, the interesting part is Deshaun also has accusations. I guess that's the difference. The plural against him and Jameis does have the one, right? Yeah, okay, there's a big difference between,

hey, Uber driver says he touched me inappropriately like on the leg or whatever one time, and then another dude is a serial predator on the Cosby level that likes to get finger popped in the bunghole by ladies in their houses and everything. Much, much different. No, no, I agree. It's just funny because I guess the difference is too,

like I was just reading the Uber story too, and like they ended up having a settlement, like they paid her a bunch of money, but like he publicly apologized. He admitted, Hey, you know, I guess I was wrong. Deshaun has never had any accountability. So I give, I give Jameis credit for that too. Like we said, I probably, I feel like he probably didn't mean it. Like when I watch Jameis, I want to be a better human.

Like when you watch Jameis Winston. I would love to be that positive. Totally. When I watch Jameis, I'm like, you know, how fucking miserable am I? Like Jameis is just happy and laughing and nothing seems to faze him. And maybe it's because he's kind of like the, the, the substitute teacher and that we never really see him as a starter. Like who knows what his days are like, you know, the six, seven, eight weeks of the season when he was the backup quarterback. And actually, he was the third string guy because they brought in DTR when Deshaun got

hurt. Yeah, but he was still, like, giving the pregame speeches to the team as the third string quarterback. Like, there were days he wasn't even active and he was still giving his speeches and still, like, motivating his guys and supporting his team. Like, if Jameis were on Cameo, I would pay him any amount of money to give you a motivational speech I know and I'd listen to it and I'd take it to heart I'd be moved by it I'm moved by Jameis Winston and I root for him and I want him to do good things it's just wild like it's also wild to think that Jameis Winston is quite literally like the reason why.

Like, I want to go back and watch his season of hard knocks. Well, that, and he's really the reason why Jimbo Fisher got paid a billion dollars to coach Texas A&M. Jimbo Fisher has not had a good season coaching football ever outside of the year that he won the national championship with Jameis Winston at Florida State. Like, he should pay part of the severance he won the national championship with Jameis Winston at Florida State like he should pay part of the the severance he's still getting the buyout he's still getting from Texas

A&M he should be sending part of that cash on a yearly basis should be like Bobby Bonilla for 25 years like every year there should be a certain amount of money that Jameis Winston gets from Jimbo Fisher like oh it's November 17th it's time for my check to come in from you know it's it's a time for my check to come in from Jameis Winston or from for Jameis Winston from Dingus who sucked right so he owes it to him is all I'm saying I'm also so happy that Jameis did in fact do snow angels because like in the third quarter when it looked like they may win this all I wanted was Jameis to do a snow angel because he was so excited to play in the snow and and if you watch the post game show he did and then he had a snowball fight i fucking love him yeah and everybody's laughing

and having a good time and just a lovable guy and you get a snow game the first half it just drizzles you know like kind of little flurries no big deal and then you get the snow like a big snow storm and the dudes were slinging it in the snow too like you don't see that very often it was just a fun game and there's a piece of data out there and i don't have it on hand and i'm sure it's true because i've heard people say it before and tv people but the highest rated games are games that happen in the snow people are just attracted to watching football in the snow for whatever reason like right before we moved to philadelphia was that epic snow game with the lions where like shady was scoring the

tuds and like riley cooper i think had a touchdown and they blew out the lions in the snow and and it was awesome. And I remember watching that. We were at a bar in Houston. We couldn't tell people that that's where we were moving. They're like, why are you guys so into this game, this Lions-Eagles game? It's snowing. Yeah, totally.

And then it turns out we were just moving to Philadelphia a couple of weeks later. And now they're trying to ruin all these games, like Buffalo putting up the stadium with the roof. What are we doing? Well, Buffalo building a new stadium with a roof is pathetic. And just like if Kansas City at some point didn't have Arrowhead Stadium and they built one of these new fancy-ass stadiums that are just big money grabs for the owners,

it wouldn't be the same. The Kansas City Chiefs play football at Arrowhead Stadium. That's where they belong. I don't understand the idea of wanting to go to some super nice arena or some super nice stadium to watch a game. I'm not at a football stadium to go to the bar in the football stadium. I'm at the football stadium to watch a game. I'm not at a football stadium to go to the bar in the football stadium. I'm at the football stadium to watch the football game that's happening at the football stadium. So I don't care about how fancy it is. Like you want to get me a

big ass scoreboard. Cool. Get me a big ass scoreboard. But I, I'm at a football game to watch a football game. There's only eight football games in a given season. If it's baseball and I'm at like a, you know, and no one's paying attention to a baseball game because they're mostly boring and pointless, then have all the great bars and restaurants you want. For a football game, I don't need some glamorous fucking spaceship of a stadium. You know what I need?

More beer stands that serve fucking draft beer. Why is draft beer becoming extinct, specifically in NRG Stadium? We walked around that whole upper deck just looking for draft beer. They don't have it. No. And those alleged $5 beers,

those are certainly not up there. But any sort of draft beer, unless you want the premium draft, give me an Ultra, a Bud Light, something on draft. We went to Indianapolis. We got draft beer. Went to the Saints game.

There wasn't a lot of it, but there was draft beer. Why is draft beer becoming a thing of the past at these sporting events? It's bullshit. It's unacceptable. I don't accept this. It's something I would like to fight. I would like to write my local congressman and complain about this. I think that's what we need to do. That being said you hate Soldier Field. Well Soldier yeah well Soldier Field's a terrible stadium. That's not a modern stadium. That's a dumpy stadium.

It is, but I don't hate it because it's dumpy. I hate it because it's just an uncomfortable stadium. But I don't need, like, if I have Arrowhead Stadium, which is a classic NFL stadium, I don't need some brand new, like, everybody loves to talk about this SoFi Stadium, how awesome it looks and how great it is. I'm like, I don't give a shit about SoFi Stadium. You see like Vegas, the price for a pepperoni pizza in the suite is like $300.

And that was for a UNLV game. I know. What, even for the Raiders? It was like, hey, come watch the running rebels of UNLV and get a $300 pizza in the suite. Like, go fuck yourself. I'm at a football game. Like football is a sport that you need to be engaged in when you watch it right like that's what it should be baseball you don't have to be if it's a playoff game you're engaged

if it's the ninth inning you're engaged the the two and a half or three hours you're in a baseball game there's like four minutes of action that's worth watching and otherwise you have time to wander correct you wander you go to the bars if you're at the ballpark in houston if you're at dyken field then you're gonna go up to you know the the uh the at the ballpark in Houston, if you're at Dyken Field, then you're going to go up to the wing place. What is it? Pluckers. They have a Pluckers in there now. You can go get a margarita, whatever. But if you're at a football game, you're in a football stadium to watch something that matters because every football game, the outcome does matter. So the fact that you're just sitting in a stadium and you're wanting, you know, wanting to, you know, go to a bar at the, at the stadium, I don't give a shit. And most of the people that

would benefit from that are people that are rich. Anyway, the average Joe, isn't going to one of these brand new fucking stadiums and buying like $30 drinks at the stadium. Cause most of them aren't going because most of them can't afford to even go to these new damn stadiums. You see, I showed you the other day, Northwestern is getting this whole new stadium, which is so pointless. Correct. You're getting a brand new stadium, yet you're playing your biggest game of the year against Ohio State. I say your biggest, not like you were going to win it, but you played Ohio State last week at Wrigley Field. So you take a baseball field, you put a football field in the middle of it, and you're like, hey, but guess what? At our new stadium, we're going to have like, and by the way, all the stuff they have there is stuff that has nothing to

do with the football game. Like here's an ice skating rink outside of the new stadium we're gonna have like and by the way all the stuff they have there is stuff that has nothing to do with the football game like here's an ice skating rink outside of the new stadium for northwestern like i don't need a skating rink at a football stadium football games are our point are important to view and they're big and every game matters you want to put an ice skating rink at a at a baseball stadium have at it rock on i'm all for it but put an ice skating rink at a baseball stadium? Have at it. Rock on. I'm all for it. But, I mean, ice skating rinks at the roller rinks, ice skating rinks, movie theaters, kids play places. I'm at a ball game football to watch football. What about the pool at the Jaguar Stadium? That's fun, though, because you're still watching the game.

Oh, okay. And pools are nice. I'd hang out in a pool. I think we need more pools at football fields. That's what I'm down for. Pools are fine, but, like, because you can still see the game. Most of the bars at these stadiums are in the concourse. You can't see anything.

You're watching it on TV. You're waiting in long-ass lines, by the way. You need more stands that have shorter lines and cheaper draft beer. Correct. That's all we need. Thank you. But all that said, the Steelers did lose tonight, so they keep the Ravens alive in that race a little bit.

The AFC North is fun. And that's what we're getting. We said this before. That's the division we're getting on Hard Knocks in season. So that's going to be great. Oh, that's Jameis party. That's the most. And, of course, not only are you getting Jameis,

but then you're getting Rusty coming back in again. You're getting the Bengals who are a disaster. We're getting King Henry. I mean, this could be good. I'm all for it. All right, so we're going to get into some other stuff, but first a word from Vine sponsors who could be anybody. All right, if you're ready to win some real cash during the basketball playoffs,

All right. And as we look ahead, you got a big NFL weekend, of course. Tomorrow we'll do prop to your drop. Who do the Steelers play next week? Because they're probably going to beat the hell out of them. They play the Bengals. Poor Joe. Yeah.

It would be like the MVP if they weren't terrible. Quite possibly. But so now they find themselves in position where the Steelers need to bounce back. The whole world was on the Browns, though, like all the sharp bettors that you read on the Internet. The Browns plus three and a half was a big play for everybody. So we might have drunkenly talked about this, but the Steelers have a bit of a conundrum here. Well, that's why they needed to win this one because they've still got –

like if you look at some of the teams that are contenders, which at this point you can't call the Steelers a contender because as good as they've been with Russ, they've looked better offensively. They don't score enough touchdowns. They scored one today, and they kick a lot of field goals. One touchdown in eight quarters, I think. So, like I can't view a team that can't put the ball in the end zone

to be a true contender, and that's fine. So they go to Cincinnati, then they host the Browns again, and they go to the Eagles, they go to the Ravens, they host the Chiefs, and they finish the season against the Bengals. That's not easy. Not easy at all. And then, well, show me the Ravens' schedule. I mean, obviously those are the two teams battling for that division.

And whoever wins that division is going to end up probably third, maybe second, but probably third in the AFC. Texans are going to be fourth in the AFC. All right, so in comparison, the Ravens go to the Chargers. Not easy. And they host the Eagles. Not easy. They go to the Giants. Quite easy.

They host the Steelers. Not easy easy they go to the giants quite easy they host the steelers not easy they go to the texans i'm not gonna say it's easy uh because the texans did play better now they've got nico back nico being back is a huge factor in all of this uh still that's not an easy game you're on the road it's christmas right so uh yeah we'll see beyonce's there yeah and then they end the season hosting the Browns. And being at home for that game, I think, is a big deal. Going to Cleveland, as we saw tonight, can be a difficult process. So both of those teams have a difficult stretch.

So standings-wise, so I'm trying to remember the standings now. So the Ravens, I think they both have seven wins, right? They might be both 7-4 now. Is that division tied now at 7-4? No, I think technically the Steelers are 8-3. Okay, my bad. So 8-3 are the Steelers. 7-4.

All right, 8-3 v. 7-4. That's where we are right now. So again, still the upper hand for Pittsburgh. Also, Pittsburgh's got the win in that situation and the head-to-head already there. So Pittsburgh's still in good shape, but both teams have a tough stretch, so we shall see. And you said Pittsburgh's got two against the Bengals still?

So Pittsburgh's got two against the Bengals. The Ravens have already played two tough games against the Bengals, which they've won, of course, but still. It's this AFC, this AFC North, the NART. It's going to be an interesting one. Then you look at the playoff standings as we go into this week. They picked a good one for that, Hard Knocks. They did.

So as it stands now, Buffalo and Kansas City are currently at the top of the AFC. Buffalo's got one more loss, but they haven't had their bye yet, and they have a head-to-head victory over Kansas City, so the one seed is still in play. You know, we talk about how the Texans are basically just sort of locked in at this point to the four. Not necessarily. I thought they were, but they're at seven and four right now. Pittsburgh leads that division at eight and three. The Texans still have to face the Ravens head-to-head. Now, more than likely, because the Ravens could still win that division, and more than likely, the Texans, they're going to lose to the Ravens.

I'd say more than likely at this point they're going to lose that game. So maybe they don't finish in third, but it's still not out of the realm of possibility. Second is, but third's not totally dead for them yet, as we thought it would be if Pittsburgh, you know, would have won today and got to nine wins. And, you know, I don't think you're going to make up two games to get to the third, but you have a shot at the third with Pittsburgh losing that one now. So, uh, and more than likely, like if you get to third, uh, then, uh, playoff wise that changes the matchup drastically, obviously for you, because if you're that, uh, you get the buy, if you get to third, then playoff wise, that changes the matchup drastically, obviously, for you. Because if you're that, you get the bye if you're the one seed.

And then four plays five. So you'd play at this point the Chargers, right? Because you're the four, you play the five. You move up to the third, you'd end up playing fucking Baltimore. So, I mean, again, it's kind of like looking at the standings of the college football playoff. It's a fruitless endeavor at this point. I mean, we're weeks and weeks away from that. So you just win your games and see what happens.

But still, it's not out of the realm. You have a shot. You have a chance to be the three. Question is, do you want to be the three? But then again, you don't know who the five is going to be in five weeks from now either. So there's a lot of factors that go into this. Yeah. Well, that's why I like, you kind of hope you have the luxury of like, does this final game of the season at Tennessee mean anything? We can control who we want to play kind of thing. You know, that's what you're hoping for. Correct. So we shall see. But anyway,

so we'll do Prop to You Drop tomorrow. That is what we'll do for that. I'm going to go to the mall over in Illinois tomorrow. I'm going to sit in my comfy chairs, put on my headset, listen to Neil Diamond, and I'm going to cook up some props for you tomorrow. I guess when you're listening to this, it's already going to be Friday.

I'll probably improvise mine because I actually work during the day. Oh, I actually work during the day. Oh, speaking of work during the day, I start getting text messages from Jilly sending me links to working for UPS. So Jilly has decided that my future is being a UPS driver. No, I decided I was looking at this because, A, you could do that right now. They have seasonal jobs and actually make some money in addition to your severance. Yeah. And then, you know, maybe you stay on.

Maybe they, you know, they say you can get, they have good benefits. Zero dollar health care. So when you say zero, so you're saying then that I would get free health care if I was a part-time employee of UPS. A part-time union employee, yes. So I'd have to join a union. And you know that I don't mind unions. But the last time I was in a union was for media. And I thought that union was bullshit. It did nothing to help me.

When I got fired in Philadelphia, they said, oh, we're going to get all your money. And then they got none of my fucking money. So I don't know how I feel about unions in my own world. The entertainment union is a lot different than the Teamsters union. Zero dollar health care premiums, even for part--time once you work 30 days and you join this union and they pay really good hourly i mean you can do full-time what is the hourly rate how much again and i'm not judging people who are truck drivers i had this discussion on the pod earlier being damn serious i think you should do it especially like seasonal like there's money to be like made

but i have no concept i have no clue what i'm doing like it's not like i have any experience or anything in doing that so ups is just hiring people though they don't care how much you don't you don't need a cdl or anything you drive a truck you drop off the package i understand that i get the concept of it but like between like 20 and 28 an hour 20 and an hour, and it's part-time. I don't want it to take away from my parlays. Well, get a route in Illinois. Wouldn't that be something?

They're like, sir, you were supposed to deliver this package. Yeah, I had to stop at the mall. I had to stop at the St. Clair Square Mall to sit in my chair and cook up some props for my podcast. All I'm saying is it's not a bad idea. They're always hiring. People have good experience with them from everything I've seen at least. Again, I'm not judging. I talked about this on the pod earlier. Like Elvin from the Cosby

show ended up working at Whole Foods or whatever. Like, I'm not judging. Anybody who's got a job and they're earning a living, I'm not going to judge you. But I don't know if that, like, you're sending me pictures of the King of Queens. You're like, oh, this is you. And like, he's grabbing his fat stomach and shit. You're like, oh, this is you. And like he's grabbing his fat stomach and shit. You're like, oh, look at you.

You're the king of Queens. We could finally be the real king of Queens. You could do like the pack. It's not a bad idea. I mean, we're spending $800 a month on health benefits right now. This is true. So you'd save that. You'd make a couple extra bucks in the meantime until.

Let's be real. Nothing's popping with radio right now. Everyone's getting fired. This is true. So you need to do something. And gambling isn't a profession. It is if you're good at it. If I were disciplined, I'd be good at it.

I'm just not disciplined. Yeah. So you're going to have to do something. And I know you're like, well, I'll just drive around the country with my dad and make some money. Does dad have health care? No he doesn't i mean i hope he has good benefits for himself though considering this he's in the fucking hospital every day taking pictures but you cannot be a dependent and uh i don't think uh scott in his productions offers health care it should i could i'll be making road trips with my dad and his little partner there i'll be

driving around all these little comic cons and small towns and shit lugging boxes is even doug heffernan aside you could be doug heffernan it's not a bad idea look i'm not judging it and coming up here in a couple months that might be the case maybe i'll start looking into that we'll just pick a place to live if i don't have a gig here in the next three months or whatever. Maybe we'll just move down to Texas somewhere, move to Louisiana, get an apartment, and I'll be driving UPS during the day. But then you have to fucking wear the dumb. Now, I guess you don't have to tuck it in. I've seen the drivers not wearing tucked in shirts. They get to wear shorts. That's a positive for the job, right? Shorts. I like to wear wear shorts i'm not against this i'm not

opposed to the idea of wearing shorts for work cash you can move up there's advancement people they're always hiring seemingly i understand that but like it's hard for me to accept the idea that like my lot in life is hoping for advancement at ups is all i get that but like you know in the time being you might as well do something even if you do a part-time look like i get that, but in the time being, you might as well do something, even if you do it part-time. Look, I get that I have been sodomized by the radio industry and these sons of bitches. I worked full-time for a job I hated. That's true. But I did it. And look, I understand.

I'm not telling you I won't do it. I'm just saying not at this very moment I'm not going to because, again, tomorrow I could get a call and they're like, hey, do you want a job? But I was talking about this on the pod earlier. I see the jobs in radio that come up, and you and I were talking about this today I'm like I also don't want to go work at some shitty radio job just because it's a radio job and then I get fired in a year like I did here like I don't want to just move to some shitty town like honestly I'd rather just move back down to say uh to San Antonio or Houston or Dallas or Baton Rouge and go drive a fucking truck around for

eight hours a day then move to some shitty town I don't want to live in doing a fucking radio show I don't want to do I mean I think I'd honestly rather do that I think that's the point I'm trying to make it's not like you're signing a contract but you're working a part-time maybe full-time shift where you're welcome to leave whenever you'd like. And okay, I'm not totally against that. So again, like. If it's a job that would get us benefits. My job doesn't give us benefits. So someone asked you.

So like I was, you know, I look around on the web every day looking at radio jobs and shit. And like I see one pop up today and it's in a format that I could do. And I look at the location and I'm like I don't want to do this shit like like I'm just at a point you and I were talking about this today I'm just kind of sick of having to like prove myself to a bunch of people who I don't really respect I'm not like PK here but it's not like I'm some god of radio or some super skilled guy I mean I'm pretty good at it I've worked at some big places I've worked for some smart people I just don't want to find myself in a position where I'm taking another job just because it's a fucking job and doing something I don't want to do.

Hell, I was working at this huge ass radio station here and when I was doing it, I'm like, this isn't really what my passion is. I thought it would be. Yeah, but you chose to come here. It wasn't like you needed to come here. You had a job. Correct. But my point is it kind of showed to me what I like to do and what I don't like to do. You know what I'm saying?

And like, I don't want to be in a position where it's like, well, all I know how to do is radio shit. So I'm just going to do this radio job in some shitty town that I don't want to fucking be in. You know, like I don't want to do that. Like, I'll tell you this. So I sent, I, a buddy of mine sent me a link to a job today and I sent it to my agent. The job was in fucking Orlando.

Okay. And again, I have nothing against the idea of the job, but like, even if like that was someone that was interested, I'd kind of be like, I don't want to fucking live in Orlando. Like I'm at 38 years old. At some point I want to live in a place that I want to live and just find something in the place I want to live. I'm tired of moving and I'm tired of going to a place that I know nothing about. Now this place I knew about obviously, but like tired of moving and I'm tired of going to a place that I know nothing about. Not this place I knew about, obviously. But like Nashville was fine and I wish we wouldn't have left Nashville. It was a mistake on my part.

Like it's easy to say now, a year and a half later after you've been laid off that it was a mistake and maybe I would have gotten laid off there too. But like it was a mistake. I should have stayed doing my morning show there. At least it was a morning show.

They liked me there. I mean virtually. Like this is the first place I ever left where they were all like, we miss you. Like, thanks. I miss you too. You were in multiple cities. Totally. I fucked up.

Again, there's no way you could have known it 15, 16 months ago that you fucked up. But looking back on it now, I fucked up. Right? But when I was doing the music radio there too, I wanted to go back to doing talk. So the fact that I left to do another rock show, whatever. Yeah, that was that that was that's what made it funny is like we had even discussed that. Like, listen. We're not going to move for another music job. Correct. And then like this gets put in your ear and then all of a sudden you're like, oh, but it's Casey.

I know. And I fucked up like again. I don't like it's like there's there's varying levels of fucked up. There's, you know, hey, you got fired because you said something stupid on the radio. That's a fucked up. This is a fucked up where I was kind of chasing kind of a dream type of deal. And it didn't it didn't work. It was a fucked up thing. It failed. Right. But like, I wish I wouldn't have left Nashville. I like the person I was working for in Nashville. I don't believe I would have gotten laid off with all these radio people in Nash in around I heart. Maybe I would have. I don't think I would have, but maybe, but like, you know, now I'm sitting here and I'm like, I like, I know, like if I took a job playing fucking more Joan Jett fucking music and playing 10 songs an hour on a music station, I wouldn't want to do it. I would just be miserable. Now, if it were the place I really wanted to live, I'd be like, all right, I guess I'll suck it up there. I mean, I could be'd be like all right I guess I'll suck it up

there I mean I could be digging a ditch you know what I'm saying you know so like if it was a situation where it's like all right Josh you could live in a town you really want to live in but you're gonna have to play fucking Joan Jett and fucking Ozzy and fucking Bruce Springsteen I'd go all right fuck it it's a place I want to live I can do it I don't want to move to some place I don't even want to live to play shitty music I don't care about. You know what I'm saying? And the other thing is we're all fighting for jobs in an industry where we're all going to get fucking fired anyway.

So you might as well go somewhere you want to go. That's why the idea of driving for UPS and lugging some boxes to someone's fucking door eight hours a day doesn't sound all that bad at this point because at least it'd be something different. I could be Doug Heffernan. Yeah, I think it would make sense. Again, that's just an option.

It is. But then there's a part of me that's like, I'll be judged, because I was supposed to be this big radio star, and now I'm out here lugging fucking boxes for people. But on the other hand, it's like, fuck them. Who cares what they fucking think? Yeah, it sucks that I've made some bad decisions in my life and done some dumb fucking shit work for ups and do a podcast who's gonna judge you like people you're delivering the boxes don't know who the fuck you are what if they do though like i deliver bucks like hey didn't you used to be josh ennis yeah i did sign here i think you just way too in your head with that i think

that one but i big picture like i know you gotta have a job, so part of that's a joke, but still. I just think you would enjoy that honestly a lot more than what I was doing, which is sitting at a desk for eight hours a day answering phone calls. Yeah, that would suck. I like to drive. So that's why I'm saying you think I was joking. I thought

this is something you should look into. Get some holiday hours. Do something. Guess we're going to see. We're going to see what happens. My agent's convinced I'm going to get a job somewhere, so we'll see. And I got other people pushing for me for other situations. We'll see. You know what I'm saying?

I don't know that there's ever going to come a time that, like, the idea of me being a big star on the radio is probably dead. Because if you're already a star, you're already a star. No one's going to become a big star in an industry that's dying, right? If you're Bobby Bones, you're a star and you're there. If you're Preston and Steve in Philadelphia, you're a star, you're there. If you're Rod Ryan, you're a star. I don't think you're going to go anywhere and like, holy shit, this guy has come out of nowhere and he's a star on terrestrial radio. My ambition is to find a job somewhere and then really start building the podcast back up again and finding some people to team up with and putting it on YouTube and getting back into really pushing it again. Like what I'm doing right now is fine and it's fun and people listen to it.

And I'm sitting in my underwear on the couch or in the bed in the morning doing a podcast. But I'm talking about getting it really going in earnest again and YouTube and all that shit. Because I know that deep down you're never going to be a star on the radio again because nobody wants stars on the radio because radio is dying so they want to find people that they can dump on a bunch of radio stations you know so we'll see but i don't know we'll we'll see what eventually happens there but i still got a couple months until like it's you know shit or get off the pot time but i'm always looking at different shit now we were talking about my dad earlier it dad has gone to the er twice in the last two days and i think one of

them is because neither one was anxiety driven i guess i guess it was because he had kidney stones i believe so yes he's had many kidney stones in his day he just likes going to the fucking um to the doctor that's where he feels better and you know he feels fine once he gets there because he takes a goddamn picture of himself and puts it up on Facebook. But he got like 400 likes. Well, first of all, these people have to stop liking his shit. You're enablers. Stop liking his shit. If you're someone that likes my dad's shit on Facebook, stop.

You are enabling him. But I thought about this is a good Christmas gift for him. I can't do it because I don't have Facebook. But maybe his wife will do it. But someone needs to go take every picture and post he's ever posted on Facebook at times he's taken a selfie in the hospital and make like a coffee table book of every one of his pictures and posts of him in the hospital. None of these times he's died or anything. And each time it's never been a real serious issue other than like you know he's had to pass a stone or some shit but other than that it's just all

been anxiety hadn't had a heart attack he thinks he's having a heart attack he doesn't so it's easy to make fun of it at this point coffee table book all the times dad's been in the hospital in the er pictures that he's posted coffee table book number of likes too that's very important each it has to it has to have the number of likes and hearts and everything and then each page it's its own little post and then like you write a story about it and and dad can go back and relive all the times he's been uh in the er which is a lot i mean just twice this week like i'm trying to think of how many times a year my dad goes to the er we We can remember three in the last month. But I think two is still a lot for him in a month. We're doing

three in a month. I know, but like I'm going to say that all I'm saying is two is probably... Are we counting ER or urgent care too? Both. I don't think he goes... Maybe once a month. I mean, there was a time when Cindy was saying he'd go to the urgent care once a week.

Yeah, but then it balances out because I'm sure there's a couple weeks that he doesn't go so I'm gonna guess at least once a month he goes to the urgent care and he's been posting these on Facebook for as long as I can remember well then they build that new urgent care right by their house like that's probably because of him that's where I thought you were going like do they build that because of him yeah probably they're like well this guy's gonna keep us in business no one else is in our tiny little area at the at the urgent care at four in the morning but here's scotty in us and from what i understand sometimes he just drives over and sits in the parking lot and it somehow makes him feel better tance dr tance he of yesterday's conversation about broken

penises i asked him about something and he says your dad should try using ayahuasca, which apparently that's the Aaron Rodgers thing. And I'm like, what the fuck is this? And he sent me a link to it and the benefits and side effects of ayahuasca. The drink was used for spiritual and religious purposes by ancient Amazonian tribes and is still considered a sacred by some religious communities in Brazil and North America. While it's illegal in the United States, certain groups have exemptions for ceremonial use. Are those groups people that drive their anxiety-ridden asses to the ER every damn night and sit in the parking lot? Maybe some peyote. He just needs to get all on like old school Indian bud.

All right, so let's see what they do. It's kind of a there's hallucinogenic effects. Let's see. I don't think he can handle that. Yeah, I don't think so either. I don't know. We got him gummies to try and I'm concerned. That's going to be something that we'll have to, he ain't going to do it. Well, Cindy said it's fine. We'll all just take them. From what I understand

from Scott, he who supplied the gummies for us not my dad scott that it's like he needs to just take like one fourth of each of these gummies if not less two to three times a day he said microdose yes but my dad's not even going to do it one time because the second my dad does anything he starts to get more anxiety so if you were to give my dad like uh like if my dad has a beer what if we do it like how we used to do with luther like we go to this thanksgiving brunch right you just like rip off a little piece of the gummy but then when he's like you know me and cindy can distract him and you throw it in his mashed

potatoes and then he eats it and then we repeat at dinner is that a crime i'm not sure but look if it's your dad it's not a a crime. We're doing it to help. Yeah. And what we do, or we just go get him Jell-O. I'd imagine there'd be Jell-O at this thing, maybe. I mean, this isn't the buffet at Shoney's. It's a fancy Peabody Hotel Thanksgiving dinner. That's how Cindy gets him to take this.

We turn into Luther. Well, hell, I won't. Look, we'll tell her to do it so the blood's not on our hands. But let's just see how he reacts like when he doesn't know. Because there is like a placebo effect of things where like people think they feel a certain thing once they know they've taken something. But if he doesn't know. If he doesn't know that every reaction is a natural reaction. Now, if he starts really getting fucked up and we're like. Does he like cranberry sauce or no? Cranberries? I think he loves cranberry juice. Okay, because I feel like the red gummy would go perfectly in some cranberry sauce.

So if he takes cranberries from the buffet, then... So, okay. So we've got to get Cindy in on this. Yeah. I'm going to find out from Scott, our buddy, what percentage of each of these gummies he needs to take. So, okay. But I'm going to have to get Cindy involved on this,

and she's going to have to do the dirty work, because I'm not going to be the one that does this. Scott says he needs to microdose to start. Two and a half milligrams two to three times a day. Yeah, but I don't know how many milligrams any of this is. So that's my promise. How many of those 25 milligrams? I don't know.

Some are 25, some are five, some are... Well, ask somewhere well ask him yeah ask him you'll just have to ask i'll just say like hey scott how many milligrams like how much should i give him each time i can't like how many and if she just now she wants to do it she's the wife so she can do whatever the fuck she wants like you just throw it in there dad takes it because if he doesn't know he's taking something then every reaction is natural if he's taking something and he's waiting for something to cause a reaction, then I think you're going to find yourself in a spot there. I also have. If those gummies are 10 milligrams each, which sounds right,

then 2.5 would be a quarter. Okay, so maybe we just give him a quarter of one of those each time. If those are 10 milligram, choose. If they're 50, then no. So I'm not sure. I guess we could take some gummies with Cindy while we're there and just see what happens. See our dumbasses walking around Beale Street high on gummies. Well, that last time we were in Beale Street, neither of us remember, so.

We should be dead. Yeah. But we're alive. Speaking of, I saw somebody who went to the p-body yesterday and they posted a picture of a drink there's some drink they have at the bar in the p-body in memphis that has a rubber duck in the drink oh i would like to get that look up leah okay this okay this is that chick that was on the dallas cowboys cheerleader show that i already followed but i looked her up because she was hot well her videos popped up on my feed once i looked her up uh because she was hot well i share videos popped up on my feed

once i followed her and then i ended up seeing her on the cowboy show but there is a drink the signature cocktail that actually has the rubber duck she posted a picture of it there was a little rubber duck oh i don't was it like a oh like a martini maybe hello uh that that's not the one i saw maybe they put that duck in a bunch of drinks was it blue no it was like a martini maybe? Yellow? That's not the one I saw. Maybe they put that duck in a bunch of drinks. Was it blue? No, it was like a chocolatey type. It was like a dark, like a martini type. Nope, not that.

Just go to her fucking Instagram and look at the picture. I don't know what her Instagram is. I'm telling you what it is. Her name is L-E-A-H. She's really hot if you guys want to follow her. And her last name is R-O-G. This chick. The chick from the Cowboy Show.

Followed by Josh Innes. Yep, she is. And I followed her before she was famous from the Cowboy Show. So then she's doing the ducks. And then go one more. It seems like they all have ducks in their drinks. They do. But there's a close-up.

See that thing? That's an espresso martini. Okay, so I said it's a martini. And it's got a little rubber duck in it. If you guys don't know, the Peabody Hotel is the one where the ducks are in the fountain, and then they go up to their little duck hut on the roof in Memphis, where we're going to be for Thanksgiving. I don't even know if we've told you guys that.

So we're going with Dad on Thanksgiving, because apparently he goes to Memphis every year for Thanksgiving and eats this big feast they have there, and he asked us to come, and I'm like, I ain't got fuck else to do. So we're going to go spend a couple of days in memphis we like memphis anyway i work in memphis yeah yeah so um so i guess we're gonna try to fucking microdose my dad against against him knowing it like luther was always way too smart to take the shit like luther was a magician you'd put his pill like in a fucking treat and he'd somehow be able to eat all around the

fucking treat, all around the pill, all the treat, and then he'd spit out the pill. Little bastard to the point that I just started to shove it down his damn throat for him to take his meds. But he was a wizard, a sorcerer even. You'd be like, we're going to wrap this up in some cheese. He's not going to be the wiser. He's a dumb dog. Nope. That little bastard ate all the cheese and left the fucking pill. Brilliant he was. My dad, not as smart as Luther. So if you throw that little piece of a gummy in his turkey, he'll probably eat it. Yeah, it's cranberry, Dad.

And they're red. Yeah. Okay. So tomorrow we text Cindy. Well, you should ask Scott first what the milligrams are on these. That's fine. But I just need to find out, like, if Cindy is down. I feel like she

is. Yeah, she's probably at her wits end with my dad. Although, she didn't even give a shit anymore. Like, you would think, like, this could be something that could ruin their union. She's just accepted that dad's a lunatic. And, like, she doesn't even bother getting up with him anymore. Because he lives literally a football field away from an urgent care.

Like, so, he just gets up if he's feeling some sort of... And I feel bad for him because it must suck to do this every fucking day. But he also doesn't do anything to try to help himself. So he doesn't take meds or anything for it. The dude just kind of sits there and has these anxiety issues and does nothing about it. So at some point, it's kind of like, well, figure it the fuck out. So I so that's i guess that's the plan you guys are all in on the plan we're going to talk to cindy aka the baton

rouge zeppelins and we're going to propose that she just slides a piece of a gummy into my dad's food and uh and see how you know his attitude changes now i don't know that we can do this forever we're gonna eventually run out of gummies. But maybe he'll be in a good mood, and that'll be because of the gummies. And I know he won't be in a good mood if you tell him he's taking a gummy. No, it has to be this way. It has to be like Luther. We're doing this for his own good.

I think it's okay if you're trying to help somebody to essentially poison them. You're, like, helping them out. This is for his own good. We want him to be a happier person so we're going to slide pieces of thc gummies into his mashed potatoes yeah okay you guys are in now you're all accomplices so if anybody ever calls about it you all knew about it you didn't stop it because it's not on the bag right it doesn't say what milligram there s yeah you have to text well it had it had the number one and then a colon or a semicolon. Is the two dots a semicolon?

One to five. I don't remember whatever one to five means. Yeah, I would just ask Scott. I will. Usually, it just has it on the bag, like he'll bring me 10 milligrams, whatever. These might also be a much lower dose. These might not be 10 milligrams. He did ask him for the lowest.

Yeah. So in whatever one to five means i sound like an idiot if you were to look up you know one let's see one colon five one five gummies let's see what any of this means like these might be very low like what does that mean maybe they're five milligrams what is a five to one ratio edible? For every five parts CBD, there's one part THC. That sounds right. Maybe you can have more

because it sounds like it's mostly CBD and a tiny little tinge of THC. So maybe one, it's like one part THC to five parts CBD. Maybe we'll give that a shot. You got to feed it to him. Yeah, I think this is the best idea because the dude gets anxiety if he takes a drink of a beer which is fascinating because every time we'd

come to baton rouge he'd take go to dinner be like josh get your dad a beer and then he would chug three-fourths of the bottle and then be like all right that's it speaking of my beer's empty all right well then i guess we could bring it end to the podcast because I can't drink my beer while I'm holding this microphone. Perhaps I need to invest in a table, a little tiny table. A snack tray. A snack tray to sit the microphone on. But anyway, so tomorrow we'll do Prop Tee Drop, but I've got to go to the mall in Illinois to bet on Ukrainian hockey

and then write out my parlays and whatnot. So we'll do that. We've still got beer to drink tonight, watch some programs, and we will reconvene.
