I'm not getting my hopes up but just a small operation here just do it again alright very stupidly

decided do a delivery and went up in epic grand view way out of the way of where i need to be for just getting the street car to borrow home and uh this uh this uh squeak just develops it just like came up uh a little bit ago much like the uh computer yesterday it's still fucked up so i'm gonna shut up now Now, I let you hear the squeak. Since I come from this tire or something, could be the bearing coming in those.

I don't know. That'll be another thing I let my mechanic. I know about the tubes. Still trying to pay this. I pay off the engine. Okay, we're gonna stop now? Okay, I went away for a little bit. I say it a little bit because there's the noise again.

But it was definitely noticeable when I'm doing the delivery. I could hear from outside the car. It was really great, actually. So I don't know what the hell is going on. Hopefully it's just a temporary thing. And it's going to have to wait until tomorrow. Obviously, but next time you see me, it will likely be... Yeah, you're heading this right. Matthia Plaza stops now for the Wall Street Park. So there should be a northbound one arriving out. Oh, there it is.

Yeah, that squeak did kind of abates on the drive up here. I'll still tell my mechanic about it. Let's see him next. It's right here. All right today. If you are going to be a plan on me today, until day only, I'm here until about five. So hope to see here. Trench at Cincinnati, the plan is to basically put a park over this, basically turning

this trench into a tunnel, they have a park on top. Yeah, I believe, yeah, that's Kelsey and Mahomes restaurant right there. Everybody's doing this morning, so we're on. Yeah, good number day for me, 22. So 22, I kind of think that is my, that is my identifying number 22. So, yeah, on the 22nd day, we're doing this. I guess I could talk about how 22 came into my life. It's very simple.

When I started playing high school football, I was assigned the jersey number 22, and it stuck. It has stuck. So that is my lucky number. 22, because I was in American football folks, I guess there's still rules to what jersey number you can't wear

depending on your position. But at the time, we're still talking high school. We're still talking high school here, but the rules were very similar in terms of, used to go, something like this, because the NFL

screwed up their own rule on this. You used to be able to easily identify by a player, by their number. And that was reserved for quarterbacks and kickers, including punters, more than 80s available. And then 20 through 49 was running backs and defensive backs. And I was, technically, started, it was specifically to be a defensive back. It's a defensive back, anything in the 20s is totally acceptable.

So 20s, 30s, those were your backs, both running backs, and defensive backs. 40s could have been assigned to tight ends. 50 through 59. Those are linebackers and centers specifically. 60 through 79, that's all offensive linemen and defensive linemen. Could wear those numbers to. 83.9, that's your receivers and tied in.

and 90s or 99. Those are all defensive players. Your defensive linemen and your linebackers could wear in the 90s. And then they decided to fuck everything up. So now we're saying a lot of guys with zeros. We're seeing receivers with single digits. We're seeing kickers with high numbers.

It's ridiculous. But high school is a little more simplistic. Just, if you didn't wear anything in the 50s, 60s and 70s, it goes, yeah. But, no, I said, I was just assigned 22. It would be 21, because that was prime time, D.L. Sanders, coach pride now. But that number was already taken by my good friend, Mr. Brett Kassin, who has a standing invite to do the podcast. In fact, Brad had a birthday just last month, and I posted,

Hey, I'd like to be after the podcast, and you have my contact info. You've had my contact info for years because I haven't changed my phone number in 25 years. Yeah, that information absolutely still stands. As for, yeah, guys who've been on the podcast, that played football, C, Big C, Carl Fletcher was 31. Jared Jared Philman friend of the podcast

and what's as the co-host now was 42 and GA Grand Ames was 81 they played for the most part the positions that Carl was a

rainback was a wide outs and a linebacker and Jared did a wide out and corner so

so I thought that was pretty cool to share. Now, oh yeah, already today, I got a podcast interview in the can.

Just got it in and posted to Lipson. So look for a part of our 10th season, an interview with Mandy, Alexis. It was great. So we talked about recovery and finding the essence of being human.

It's a great conversation. Turns out she's Canadian. So the third Canadian guest I've had, but it's based out of Nicaragua. So we can not get Canada, of course. We can not have the Netherlands for the Coggiat. Tamara, who will see in season 10 as well is in Honduras. and now this guest

in Nicar, Iowa. Lots of outreach outside of the United States. I'm loving it. And I just got done scheduling breakwork for this car. I'm thinking I just need to get rid of it.

I need to start using these points. And I asked them about, hey, could you address that fucking GPS thing or at this squeaking. Looks like they'll look at the squeaking, but they can't do anything for GPS. I think that would be a dealership thing.

Or, you know, once that's, once Stu's money comes in, we'll pay off the engine debt. And I'll probably use a little more of that to address our GPS situation, whether it's go through the dealership, get to the dealership, have them, F with it or just get a new car radio set up.

Hey, Bispah! Alright, go try to get some bagels and head to the office. And expecting to be an easygoing day should just be free play today. And that's bad it's... Okay, so I'm here at the club and This is a good public service announcements. When you're leaving a chess club, all your boards should look like this. Completely set up.

This? Uh, no. No, this is inaccessible. So this is a good opportunity. If you are watching, I'll show you how to set up a board. And if you are not, then follow along. and follow along with my voice. So as you can see, these boards are annotated.

Say if your files, your A file, B file, all the way to H, and then if your ranks, first rank, second rank, all the way up to eight. Now, if you don't have these ranks and files, I know the boards being set up properly. We say white, on the right so make sure that square h1 goes to your right hand is uh white all right part one part two and this has with the annotation first and second rank is where white

will always set up because white always goes first seven and eight is where black sets up now set up so we got a rook rook knight bishop on both sides so right night bishop and this is the other queen always goes on her color so

which happens to be the D file so D1 and D8 for black and then the king goes on the opposite color and can tell which ones which the king will use is always taller and usually has the cross on top.

The queen is shorter and usually doesn't have a cross. And then, of course, all your pawns go there. And we'll do the same thing for black. So we got rook, knight, bishop, queen on her color, and the king, bishop, knights, and rook. And then all your pawns in front. all right that's and that is how you properly set up a chess board and whoever did not set up my board uh please set the boards up properly next time so that i don't have to do it all right so uh i'm going to get

water for the club now because we are out And might take it along with, I don't know, we'll see. How's everybody doing today? So clearly I need to clean this thing. Now we got about another week of this. Talk with the nieces and nephew. I don't get to talk to them all that much. They've been down in Oklahoma and me being up here.

So it sounds like, We're back. Penny, the oldest. She's going to be in high school next year. She's hard for me to believe. She's 13 now. Right, she'll be 17 when she graduates. That's most of us. But more importantly, it sounds like she's enjoying acting.

Basically playing the villain in a play. play she's in right now but the important thing is she likes to continue acting forever and that that is true to a degree you know if one to a professionally then there are only certain cities that you can do it in or else you will need a and that that applies to a crew as well yeah I didn't yet I do yet Vio shops do exists that they have dedicated crews that can do this. It's my first of head course TV stations. But the rest of us, yeah,

Chess or DoreDash score podcast, even though, let's be honest, I'm not making money on this podcast. I'm a little bit now because we now do the advertising. I just looked last night. And so far with the ads, we haven't correct even five bucks yet. So they're average in about a little over a buck a month. And that's fine. But the important thing is I like doing it.

And the important thing for Penny that I want her to know is it's okay for her to just like doing it. Just have fun with it. And you can have fun with it as an adult too. Grayson, sounds like he's doing good, good at baseball. and was talking about multiplying fractions and Grayson's 10

fractions and which is a very useful skill to half. All right so I'm glad they're teaching that. But he's enjoying playing baseball too. So I know he really likes my first base but apparently he's

one of the best players on his team. So they ask him to do the pitching as well. So that's pretty cool. It sounds like he's a Dodger fan. I'll keep my mouth shut about the goddamn Dodgers around him. But Dodgers and Yankees, those are the Dodgers Yankees, White So those are the teams I really can't stand.

So I don't know, we'll mention. ID was really, really excited about Heidi's seven. I'm really excited about a gymnastics move that she had learned. I didn't quite understand what she was talking about. Is this a gymnastics thing? Like, yeah, come on. So I'm really proud of those kids. The closest thing I have two kids,

really proud of all three of them. I'm not too happy about this. Penny was being influenced by the likes of Charlie Kirk. but that's a discussion for another time. All right. If we make another one of these today, great. If not, I will see you tomorrow. Oh, hey, we're back.

So, yeah, I just got done helping my dad out. He is celebrating. He is partaking in things for ripping right now. Now watching some football. I told him, we were talking about that kids how my nephew is into baseball and

how he became a goddamn Dodgers fan you got me a thing and how do I feel about all 30 teams in Major League baseball? All right, so let's start the, I don't know, you know, let's go

F, let's go by division. So we'll start NL West's since I mentioned the Dodgers. So fuck the Dodgers. Giants, I am sort of indifference on, although I liked that 2014 series back. Padres, I always like that Tony Wynn and French fries commercials. It's for Denny's.

I got tried for Sammy Sosa and some fries. That's my last memory of Tony Wynn. The only team in San Diego, so they really are just a baseball town. So, no disrespect to the Padres at all. Diamondbacks, oh, I'm grateful they won the One World Series against the goddamn Yankees, and I'll get those fuckers in a sec. There's no much to say about them. Rockies, Matt Holliday, not touching on plate.

It's been, what, 20-some years, and he still has never touched on plate. So L. West, and L. Central. Let's get the cards out of the way. I respect the Cardinals as a baseball organization. But don't really consider myself a friend. My brother Joe, Grayson's father, he's a big Cardinals fan. He was a big Ozzy Smith fan. And I get you on 85, okay? Dinkinger did make the wrong call.

And by the way, if you're going over and overturn that call, you need to be exactly called that costa galaraga a perfect game the exact same call you have to overturn that one too yeah you have to overturn both of them so then conture is only part of the reason the cards lost in 85 the other part was uh they uh failed to show up for game seven they could have won game six you know they could have won and we're not even talking about the Royals, for winning in 85. But Cubs,

absolutely knows a disrespect to the Cubs. I'm glad they were able to win a title after 108 years. I've been gone without. One year later, then back to the future, predicted.

Once again, thank you, Royals. Overall, the state for Chicago as a city. I've never had good experience in Chicago. I'm sorry. And I don't think I ever will soon. So, yeah, I'm okay with them. Burrers, I appreciate their

chorizo race with their sausage rates with the chorizo and the kobasi. But really not much the rent home about them. And the fact that they were owned by a commissioner of the league. for most of their history, I don't know. Reds, they had their moments and everything,

but I'm sorry, Pete Rose bet on baseball. And, yeah, he's dead now. Just because he's fucking dead, it doesn't mean he's shot on-mec could be considered for Cooperstown. I would not vote in. So maybe because of the whole gambling thing. So, because that's a serious. serious shit, especially in baseball, you know.

And Pirates, that's my dad's home team. Let me show of their past glory. All in fun fact, as a child, I actually got to walk on the ashterth at Three Rivers Stadium before game once. How cool is that? I did three rivers I did Old Bush

I stopped in the gift shop at the current bush I think that's it's on the National Incide thing is American

that's that's a little different in L. East Braves go fuck yourself but I don't have I'll hold

nearly the same animosity as the other team that I mentioned but I do think they do need to change their name Seriously.

Change the fucking name already. Marlins. No strong opinion about the Marlins, although it is interesting point out that there are two World Series wins came, well, 97. That's the year I graduated high school, and 03 was when I graduated from college. So if I ever decided to go back for a master's degree,

that'll probably win the World Series. that year two. Who knows? Philly's 1980. That's all. Also, Pete Rose, I believe, was involved with that. Mets, no strong opinions. No strong opinions regarding the Mets. If I were to choose between the two New York teams, they would probably be the one I would go with. Oh, and we did beat them in 15. So, nationales, formerly, the team formerly, the team formerly, known as the Montreal Expos and the Washington Nationals Well, first of all, Matt and Ols, that was funny

when they had to print a arrow on their jerseys, but good job on them winning World Series just before this whole pandemic mess. Before the most part, you know, just keep doing it. I think they finally found out on the

great team for Washington, but with expansion being talked about for the love of God, consider returning the expost. That was the coolest logo in baseball with the Montreal and American League now. So let's go east to west with these guys. So Yankees, fuck off. Seriously.

Fuck off. Sox, Boston Red Sox. Much respect from them. I remember one year my mother, I think at my behest, maybe. I'm sure I was dressed at the Green Monster and fit my pack, which was pretty cool. For those of you never met my mother,

she was a very tall and large individual and could have easily pulled off that costume in a way that I don't think many people would. The Blue Jays, they just lost the World Series.

F them for that, but credit for winning two straight before the 94 strike. And now they're the sole representatives of Canada in the leagues. Rays, we'll see long term what happens with them. Yeah, they did have to play this past year at a minor league ballpark because their current ballpark, they just finished. the repairs to that roof they got hammered in that hurricane last year it's not a great venue and they were talking about you know getting a new stadium there in Tampa so we'll see what happens there so but at least for the next year or two they're back at

they'll be back at Tropicana hopefully people start attending because the rays have been playing some pretty good baseball. So I don't have to drop the devil part from their name. And the Orioles. Fuck Angelo's. That's it. That's that. Hail Central Royals.

Let's get that team downtown already. All right. Watson Square Park. Let's go. Fuck off with Asperia. That ain't happening. I've been by that site a couple times already to do DoorDash. And I'm telling you, there's a lot of building going on there.

None of it is for baseball. So we can fuck off with that one. And that would only transfer their current problems, be in the middle of fucking nowhere, to being less in the middle of fucking nowhere. But still on the edge of suburbia. And, I'm on the way. By the way, a lot of people don't want them.

They still need to be downtown seriously. And if anyone's watching this and you're in the anti-down ballpark side of things, well, fuck off, get off my video. Twins, no strong feelings about the twins. I did see their ballpark, the Tarje Field being built when I was in Minneapolis, Pagan, 08. and but yeah that's pretty cool

I'm glad they're doing that Tarje Field of course across the something from Targey Center the home of the Timberwolves which is connected

to the Minneapolis Skywalk system as I do that and that's a cool system if you ever get a chance to go to Minneapolis check out their skywalks right

You can practically walk downtown Minneapolis whenever having a cent foot outside. Which comes in handy given Minnesota is a reputation for cold weather. White Sox, fuck off. That's it. No offense to President Obama and no offense to the current Pope. I know they're both White Sox fans,

but White Sox can't fuck off. Tigers can also fuck. off, but to a lesser degree. And the same goes for Cleveland. But I will give the Guardians' credits for changing the name.

Yeah. Yeah. They did the right thing, I think. I changed the name. And then let's get the AL West out of the way. A's as a Kansas city, and I am aware that they used to be here.

And I'm also aware that Charlie Finley pulled a stand cranky to get them out of town. So I am aware of that aspect because of everything. And I'm also aware that they're currently homeless. They're in between homes and in between Oakland, getting ready to play in Vegas. But in the meantime, they're playing in Sacramento, another city that's up as in Kansas City, and I have seven by seven by seven. But overall days, they showed the way for a small revenue teams to be able to compete.

None of this is only going to win, but at least compete. Angels, F-off, small degree, F-off. Now, if you were choosing, if I had to choose between the two L.A. teams, it would be Angels over Dodgers, period. get the Mariners out of the way. Still the only team to never play in the World Series. But respect to history, then Griffey, then Arod, then Randy Johnson, Ghiro.

But there, you know, August in Kansas City. And now we got to get the Texas teams out of the way. To wrap things up. Rangers, fuck off. One, yeah, George W. Bush is a only. to your old ballpark looks like a fucking penitentiary more so than a ballpark and yeah between the two just F off with the Texas Rangers but the Astros so that's a stadium that's a couple of other stams I could tick off that bit to the Astrodome a couple

of games there famously famously you win that Bagwell and Beach were young, Ambigio was a catcher, went there, and I got to step in the lobby of their current ballpark in downtown Houston. So, yeah, I guess that's my thoughts on all 30 teams in Midger League baseball. I'm at the mall, both park, mall specifically. It's Mall Santa season, folks. Never mind that Thanksgiving, not for another couple of days. I already say the Mall Santa is young. Not on the Malsinas, but really a winter after Thanksgiving to do that.

Also, Coca-Cola. How are you doing? Taking a bit of a detour, I think, I, so this is officially not yet part of the streetcar authorities' plans for a future line, but this is one that has been studied as part of a much larger study. This is, the official name is something like by-state's renewable. transit corridor, something like that. It's just been done by the M-A-R-C, the Mid-MECA Regional Council. And we're only doing a portion of it that would include a streetcar. I think the whole corridor should be streetcar or rail of some form, but unfortunately people don't listen.

And it's only this small portion. But the corridor itself is large. At the western end is the Village West area where you find the Legends Mall, you find Sporting Park, the Speedway, minorly KCK, which is why I am right now is KCK. And on the eastern end is downtown Independence in Bend Square. So that's a pretty big spot, but just this small corridor they're tagging for a streetcar. There will be a meeting about this in a couple of weeks that unfortunately will not be able to attend because work. Anyway, and a bonus fact for Tales from the Intraim that the studio that we shot most of that is just in the not this light but the two lights down from here to our left is the is the studio that we used unfortunately since shut down. But it was pretty neat studio and definitely about money's worth for two days shooting. Two very hot days shooting there.

I don't know anyone else will images of those there including a friend's podcast. Casino right here. You already are seeing that currently. So this is downtown Kansas City. Kansas. We are looking. Okay, this is the start. I'm on 7th Street, which before I-35 is Rainbow Boulevard.

We're turning it here because this would be the western terminus of this streetcar line. It's 7th Street in Minnesota. We have a transit stop right here. to my right before we keep going. So we have KC.K. Library. So this basically is gonna go from now on Minnesota Avenue and in East. And there's a reason I have to head east for this.

I can't just make sense to do this from the west. Four reasons that will be clear or short. We have a convention center to my left, to my right. Unfortunately, they're closing this down by the west. closing this down by this pretty neat, a little shop grocery store. This used to be the EPA to my right, where you see the bus right now. Used to be a headquarters for the EPA, regionally, stupidly moved out to Lenox. He saw that head fifth, crossing up.

This one shit gets really complicated if you are at all from there with protest. We've got Go south. I'm following the bus. You know, that's. Melantheth. My soneth is deadeth. I'm sorry, that's a very old, one of my first camp out in the Scouts.

So we're looking for James Street now. And this is, okay, we're going to wait for that. What can this look, a cholesterol fuck of a interchange? That's I-70 above us. And this is Missouri River, meet not too far from here down this way and we're going to James Street which will take us into the way over the Kansas River so it'll be fun seeing the construction for this

but they'll go over the Kansas River right here this is James Street or over the river there's some tracks right here the rivers meets somewhere to the left have another the West bottoms. West bottoms technically part of it's in Kansas. We won't be in Missouri till we actually cross the Stant Line Road and in the West bottoms it's very easy to tell where the standline is. It's the western edge of Kemper Arena. Some of these places have seen better days. They've seen better days but they're been a lot of revitalization around Bonds particularly in the board of the old stockyards. Central F.

Let's open this goddamn, let's fix this goddamn bridge already. Been close for years. A lot of bridges into KCK, but close for years. Not just that one. There's another one on the south side of Kemper. That opens into Kansas Avenue. Then we've got to go over this bridge. It goes over railroad tracks,

and then it'll become 12th Street. And this is why we have to go west to east because 12th Street at some point is one way. The state line is about right here. So the ones I suppose Kemper is to my right or high east arena. They call it now, but it's the old arena. So right here you got a lot of development right in this area to your left in particular haunted houses and really cool shit. Still on 12th Street, this is, yeah, very steep incline. It's a steep that is actually a double-decker bridge, so there's another bridge, but beneath this one, into the hill.

Old days of the streetcar, they did have a bit of a subway here up so far. It did go into a tunnel under the downtown here, so. Alright, been here. Downtown, 35, north, two, seven. north to 70 and 35 south. So I picked an interesting day to do this because you see one KC place, you can't see the top of it. The Tapavallion building, you can't see the top of it.

We will be passing both of those buildings. This is, this section of town right here is called Quality Hill. So there'll be another couple stops here. This is Pennsylvania and we're still in the Quality Hill. area. Guys. So yeah, this is not officially part of the streetcar plans yet, but he'll get there much longer to go, unfortunately. Like I said, this corridor, the whole corridors really should be real. But no, they have to say. Let's be cheapos and dedicated to buses. So go on, Washington. This is Broadway.

Bartle Hall to my immediate right that's the northern end of it so this would more directly service Bartle Hall than what we have right now if you saw my video from earlier and to walk a couple blocks and the historic Foley theater to my left after that is the Marriott Muella Bha There's Skybridge. Barney Alice would be here to the Plaza area, which is currently been torn out. There's a parking garage underneath it that just got old.

So they're turning it out, rebuilding it. I hope it's finished sooner rather than there, because that's my favorite place to park in all downtown, especially when the Ruse were playing up here. It's municipal. And they have a cool underground. connections to these hotels and municipal. Also, also another thing we'll be passing here is the Hotel Phillips,

or not, because it's fucking closed. But where it's closed, yeah, this is Barney House, right here behind the barricades, this is the barriott. It's-ish. I go, live one-way streets in downtown Kansas City. This is no exception. A couple notes here to my right here.

That's the old Channel 9 studios before they moved out to Swap Park. It is currently a YMCA. Another great park construction right to my left here, especially if you're going to

the Majestic. That's the Pleist of Park right here. 10th and Central. So we're taking a little detour here because of the instruction. Hopefully just one block, 10th and Central. We need to get back to 12th. So between Central and Yandot.

Yeah, okay, it's all. Yeah, 10th Street. This is the library here. So you've seen the photos of the library with the cool photos. That's the parking garage and that's right here. It's 10th and Yon. You can see it's on the left there. There, the library is across the street from that. So, so you see the books, mural and everything, part of your rush.

Across the street, the old bank building, that's the library. Go away for this guy. We'll try. Why not that smell? That smells like something burning, like gasoline or rubber or something. I'm pretty sure it's not from this car, from my car. from my car but you never quite be sure

and I am taking it in tomorrow for break work ostensibly and I'll get foot that tomorrow is hanging out of the auto shop but yeah I got the fresh air coming in instead of the recycled area

I like doing that for some reason that goddamn squeaking which I don't think you can hear right now you can certainly hear it when you step out of the car I've had that yesterday. Yeah, there's a burning smell, whether it's a burning oil or... This is... Yeah, I'm closed it through traffic.

Back to 12th streets. And this is the other corner. You see in Municipal right there. So Barney House Plaza is right here. Usually, like I said, there's a parking garage. Back on 12th Street. So right here, Hotel Phillips right here. That's the...

I guess we'll find out the name of the bar real quick that's there right now. It's called Tavernona currently, but it was once called 12th of Baltimore, and I fucking love that place. One can see the place to my right, formerly, C.C. Center Square is my island. Oh, yeah, we're at 12th of Maine. This is Metro Center, where this line would meet the existing streetcar. The town pavilion left and P&L district, and you're right here. And I've got Max Bus to sit right next to me, and there's another bus, sit behind then. even.

Whitewell is what they call Sanford Square now. When I was getting started and looking at possibly doing office space downtown this is where I went and they decided to be

over a thousand a month for office rental which sounds ridiculous to me but they used to have a lot of cool shit to do. Grand Boulevard right here's a major bus stuff. Yeah, Yeah, this portion, the 10th, this is where your max buses are to truce and prospect.

The Sprint Center, or I'm sorry, T-Mobile Center is to my right here, a couple blocks. Very hard to miss. Looks like a giant tire on its side. And this portion is the one-way portion. This is Oak Street. So I think this is the courthouse to my right. City Hall. City Hall is going me to my left. City Hall to my left.

Right there, I think this is the courthouse. Yeah, this is Jackson County Courthouse. I can't talk today. More courts and police to my left here. And unfortunately, this is where this line, we have the federal building right here. Welcome to East Village, folks. So Ballpark should have been built right.

here in the first place. I don't know why they did the bait and switch with the old star print press, but this is where the ballpark should have been. I'm not turning the camera up, but you can see it's empty fucking field. And right here, this is East Village, and this is where this particular airline would end. At East Village, it turns out to my right. not much to talk about at all. I'm going to continue driving because I am on my way to Blue Springs for pork. That smell is now gone, so again, must be something or something of them falling.

But I'm doing this video. Yeah. I'm doing some. This is a, I'm in Blue Springs last time before the end of the month. Because I'm not coming at here. If I don't have to. I saw about this place a couple months ago. This is called Grounds Park in Lake Remembrance.

And that I sent me. Talk about this park months ago, just, in fact, a birthday weekend. I checked out. Gay Blood. Then came out here just to check out this lake on the recommendation of a, same first meeting I told her about the podcast and she's been listening and told me her favorite episode was the snowed-in one we did with Amanda Stacy and now she's insisted I go back and read her book which yeah I'll do that but at least a couple of books I need to read from

friends of the podcast so You could leave it like a lasso in that as well. Something really cool I want to show you guys. And probably best not to come out here. Late November, it's freaking cold. Welcome to Lake Remembrance Public Fishing. See the Blue Springs, Missouri. But there's something really cool I want to show you guys today.

And as they do a little snake here, where's the head? That's where there's a head here. The one time I've been here. So. And some jabroney destroyed the sign to say, oh boy. But, yeah, you can see, if you are watching the video, you can see this. But if you're not, if you just listen. There's a bunch of painted rocks along the side of this trail.

I'm assuming the little family remembrances and hence of the name of the lake. That's cute. Definitely check this place out if you are ever in Blue Springs and I guess that's it for now. Well, so got to do a couple things and do work. And it's the last time I have to work at here, at least for this week. And it'll be the last time I'm out here during NatPod. So I thought I'd take this off real quick. So, all right, one last look at the lake before I head out.

And that trail goes around the lake. Certainly worth it. Much like we did a couple days ago, when I told you my thoughts on every single team in baseball, my thoughts on every single team in football, if you are a L'A. and bring those into the podcast. So let's do another sport. Let's do hockey.

It's at a NHL, specifically two teams, but I'm going to throw in four men. no longer exist for what a reason. And I'll go alphabetical by state. So we'll start with Canada. First we start with West to East and Canucks. A Canucks fan when I first got into Canada because I'm not Pavlovari fan.

I particularly cared for that guy. So, but, of course, in recent years, my edge has changed on the Canucks. I like their, I like gotten into the kind of final, but it's quite Alberta. There are two teams we got mentioned here. The first is the

Edmonton Oilers, and I've long said that's I follow any team that Gretzky played for, well, Edmonton was actually the team he played for when they got absorbed into the NHL. Oilers

in the last couple years, they've gotten to the I actually own a Calgary flame. I'm crazy about Flurry's politics. I'm not too crazy about Flurry's politics. Wendipak would be next. Jets. No strong opinions about the Jets.

Either form of the jets, under the one that left for Phoenix or the one that came in from Atlanta. Actually, also one of the flames. Also relocated to Canada from, Atlanta. I'm on this tangent, NHL, can we please stop trying to make hockey happen in Atlanta? It ain't going to happen. Ontario, so we're trying to makeleafes, the original six, the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Longest Stanley Cup trap, the longest active Stanley Cup track, I think even longer. The Rangers that put up with the senators, they're full of. And no strong feelings on the Montreal Canadiens. The Habs. 24 Stanley Cubs. 24. It's the first of the ghost teams that like to see back from Quebec, Nardique's. Cool name, first of all, Nardique and RR-R-D-I-S.

I'll just see that back. Unfortunately, they became the Hockey Cronkeys, so we'll talk about it. in just a little bit. And then we go to the States, Alabama, Alaska. Arizona. Okay. I know people want the, I know some people want the coyotes back. So, especially, I'd like to see the coyotes back realistically.

I don't think it's going to happen. I do own a coyotes on the Chicina, the jerseys from when they first moved to Phoenix from from Quebec. And it just could not make it happen in Phoenix. So if they come back, rates, if not, I'm not going to lose sleep over it. And that kind of Gradsky team, too, because Gradsky did, at one point, own the least of the coyotes, and was actually a good coach for a while. And that managed that great players to not make great coach as well.

There you go. There you go. Unfortunately, that's your proof right there is when Gradsky. California This gets me to the team that I started my hockey fandom with

the LA Gaines. Again, Gretzky they got to their first stand in the team. They won it, but we got there. And they have said won two Stanley Cups. That's awesome.

And even in the L.A. The Ducks, you got a stand there, the Mighty Ducks, the movies from Disney. But they dropped the Mighty Part. They dropped the Mighty Part, and they win Stanley Cup. Right. That's funny to me. But not much off of the Ducks. San Jose Sharks, also in California.

No strong feeling about the Sharks. Californ, Colorado, that's the avalanche, that's the Hockey Cronkies. Again, fuck Stan Cronkey and fuck anything he touches. It's always such a arsenal for Buckland because they have to go through Connecticut's, vulnerable mention, Hartford Wellers, cool logo and cool name, and referenced in Kevin Smith movies, Marats, you know, they live. going to be Vancouver once twice in a lifetime. Chasing Amy,

there are a bunch of fucking, you know, who cares if I called her, or if I call it the Whalers, a bunch of, in the privacy of my office, and I'm self-censoring here. Unfortunately, they too have also left back. In the case in which DC, the capitals, Washington Capitals,

the Vegkin, he broke one of Gretzky's, records I think it was the gold record last year and still playing. So what I know credit to all credit two. They've had a couple of logo changes over the years. My favorites though was the swooping eagle. So I like that. I also like that their colors are red, one, blue, you know, USA colors, which is appropriate for a team in DC. Are you listening to commanders? That's capital. Florida.

We've got the defending champion Panthers. Good job. Good job. No strong feelings there. I am fully aware of the whole throwing rats on the ice tradition, which is pretty old. And they're plastic rats. But the story was Scott Melanby killed a rat in the locker room before game once.

And then scored. two goals and then trick. As opposed to a hat trick. Let's see who are not hockey fans that's simply three goals in a game. In fact, they use that term soccer. Three goals in a game is a hat trick.

There's that goddamn squeak again. So again. Good thing I'm taking this in tomorrow. Just take a look at that shit. And then Tampa Bay Lightning. Stanley Cups. They won the last Stanley Cup before the entire, the one season got completely locked out. And then they won the two COVID seasons. So, so lots of respect to the lightning.

Illinois, Blackhawks, you know, I feel about Chicago teams. And that's a name, that's a team. You can keep the Blackhawks name, just have a lot. Black Hawk as your logo. Black Hawk is your logo. This is one. You can keep the name, but you got changed the logo. Seriously. I really appreciate the guy.

That's just so... Bruns. No strong opinions about the Bruns. But we've got one of the original six. It's not the Blackhawksbone. No strong terms about the Bruns. Next team, though, I do have strongly paid down. That'd be the Detroit Red Wings, and they can fuck off.

All right. Detroit, fuck off. It's a wild. No strong feelings. No strong friends with the wild. Missouri, okay, Louis Blues. That's one of my teams. That's a Bear Regretsky team.

He played the last season for the Blues. but I guess it says I'd still be seen around and seeing the limits from time to time

and this is another I'll stop in the shout to the former KC Scouts

I wish we had a better logo it's just the Scout statue of Penn Valley Park is the is there a logo

to keep that style to KC the apartment with a and bring the night that way I listed all two seasons

before I was even born and are currently the New Jersey Devils so yeah scouts let's see back but don't use the statue and once getting in there back in the tree

just use that style lines to the case Nevada Nevada Vegas Golden night's first year of existence Stanley Cup finals pretty cool and then just a couple seasons ago they won the Stanley Cup that pretty cool too I exist before this century's jersey and I mentioned the devil say from those two Stanley Cups great players Martin Berger immediately comes in mind but then he did finish it's a little love

characters on that team and like I said they've heard her in the DC Scouts and they're in Iraqis for a while now they sound like three teams in New York so we got the the Rangers the last of the original six last team guards be played for up in the 90s to break their curse and have the Messier and since their previous street and Certainly not as bad as Toronto. Islanders, you know, got to give them respect for them. We have four straights in the early part of the 80s. But they are showing their four cells now.

And Buffalo, the Sabres, not a fan of that ownership group. Because they also own the bills and bought stands, lies. was. So not necessarily the same of the Sabres. That's New York, North Carolina. Where? This would be

Carolina hurricanes, the former whalers. They did win Stanley Cup after Rala. I think they were the first Stanley Cup after that after that year that got wiped out with the strike. Real strong

But it was about them, the whale arcane with the jackets. No strong films there. So, man, yes. So we got the Flyers. First time I really heard about the Flyers was Simpson Street after horror. Forgitted though, that's in the start line with 76 Flyers were part of Satan's jury. We had an overtried in a soul bag. He said,

The Penguins, Pittsburgh, and St.S. The Penguins, Pittsburgh, and Stadish, if you will. So they've won their fair share of Stanley Coates. By Mary Garker, who's still playing, by the way, just not being a child, but still playing. Yeah, Mary Arirn. Cindy Crosby, Malkin. So they've had some, they've had their fair share of good players.

Recently, he bought. fairly recently the last couple of years bought up a Fenway group so they share ownership with the Red Sox and Liverpool Of course they stay with

Pittsburgh black and gold Tennessee, the National prayers No real strong feelings there although you can't find this on YouTube They did do an ad

with the future Mrs. Kelsey But I was there at the game She's based in Nashville It's Dallas Stars Stars At least one Stanley Cup I'm at least one Stanley Cup

And I'm not necessarily Not necessarily Feelings about them The average of Minnesota Alice I guess if you're going to be a hockey team Anybody go to anyone, Texas City, not over Dallas, another person who are with the bunch.

Utah, the mammoth, jets slash coyotes slash one. March of here, it says Utah Hockey Club. Get that weak shit out of here. It's over that bullshit FC stuff in hockey. And now that the mammoth. So that was kind of a Cleveland Brown thing. situation. Two cases with the

because they look at Chet's name in Winpeg and now they're a coyote named Phoenix Cosmo Robocco. He'll do us to the Seattle Crackin. No Strong Feelings resembles Trowdor No, no, the F.FLT and Sea Dragons

resemble Trondor Bernadaytonade and you have you said, Burned an Age, as it's burning other people's. I think that's all the current and past hockey teams. You know, hockey teams I would love to see return. Although we will, but we would love to see it in my two more when I get home today. I'll let you guys hear what the guy behind me can fuck off because he's probably a little too close.

I wouldn't just fine except for that noise And since we Directly impact Once had my issues Earlier this year It caused me to have erratic Starts And everything

I'm wondering if this is the parts That's causing all these brakes Pretty while I have the points I just had no change Earlier this moment Already close to the 3,000 Miles and yes I'm doing

3,000 not 5,000 I think 5,000 That's how he got helped to contribute to the problems I eventually had with the old engine. 3,00. I still can do the free breaks and still have enough points for a couple more oral changes. So it's just in the tax. So I am thinking that this is that fuel parts that we were talking about. I was a lot of waiting until after two years.

the student estate I think that's what's going on right there I'm just dodged but he's here my foot is on the gas here still don't know what happened

with the uh heads up display with the map but no it's not affected the

podcast or anything that's it is a big to my body that sound effect bad enough that you don't know I drive for it is dry

but it's fucking raining right now and they still don't know how to drive all right good morning everybody day 25 five more days to go after today here at uh homers coffee shop just getting ready to leave uh my bank is right across the street so oh i'm trying on my dad's shoes today and the the right one is a way to lose but uh anyway uh one of do real quick today a response to a video I saw this

morning it was a Terry Bradshaw a name that was quite polarizing in my family my dad being a Steelers fan loved the guy

mom and still loves the guy I was behind this but mom hated him to the point that we weren't allowed to say the name, Terry Bradshaw wreck her. Anyway, anyway, he was in the St. Louis for an event

and actually took the time on San Luis TV to apologize for us no longer having an NFL team. To which I say two things. One, Terry, you had nothing to do with that. All right, you're not an NFL owner, so you were not one of the 30 scumbags to make that decision. And number two, at the time you were echoing Stans talking points of Staling's being just as baseball town. All right. Where was that talk?

Where was it the, no, San Francisco's great sports town, and they deserve an athlete. Where was that talk 10 years ago? Just want to get that out of the way today. Anyway, I got Aaron's to run. Talk against her. Some bad news. My car is currently in the shop. It's going to cost me some more money.

So that's the bad news. The good news is it'll be fixed within the next couple of hours, which gives me an opportunity to go up here to the Berg and Barrel. Just around the corner here. So they are going to take. care of that squeaking noise that we've been dealing with. It turns out that it's a combination of things, including pulleys and brakes and all that. So, unfortunately, I'm getting a couple deals and some fans seem for that, but you gotta pay that shit off.

I started a GoFundee and my initial paying down the car repair for the engine. Excuse me a sec, please. Okay, let's try this again. All right, so I'm currently at my shop. There is my car. We are addressing that squeaking noise. And I had to take out another loan to help pay for it. So what's going on?

Yeah, it's a combination of things, but pull these and brakes. and wheel bearings are all involved here. Going to get that fixed. And it'll be fixed today as opposed to months from now, which are good. So that said, when I had to get a new engine over the summer, I'm still paying that down, by the way. So just add to my already existing. car debt.

We, I set up a GoFundMe to help pay for all this. So I will leave a, this evening, I'll leave a link in the description. So if you would like to help out, every little helps, even if it's just two bucks, you can help out. And this is the yes season of giving now. You don't have to donate either. You can just share with your friends and everything. And I did get some insulting feedback from at least one person.

And it's unfortunate that people think that way. But it is what it is. All right. I'm going to try and get some lynch here over the Berg. barrel so the car's back as squeaking noise is gone it's going to send me back two thousand dollars so all right so later to later's in I'll just post the link to that I go fund me if he wants to help out with that but uh here's a pro what exactly client concerns brakes in the cars making a squeaking noise

well the brakes I will have done for free but It just brings shoes. But that's... So here's what they did. They did a diagnostic on the problem. Check. Move and replace crankshaft pulley. Okay.

Replace wheel bearing. So that's an interesting one because the driver said wheelbaring. I did have replaced by a Hindak dealership. So... And they did say at the time, keep it out for the other one. so here it is we're replacing the other one and that one they gave a small discount and then uh that thing is uh front axle brake job lifetime pads so lifetime warranty on pads which is awesome and i got discount on that one too so so yeah i mean so yeah it cost me a lot but

a lot too. So of course, yeah, they, yeah, you got a charge for parts and labor and they're both.

And that's going to eat up. Another. So yeah, once again, once again, just until this evening to post the Go find me. If you want to donate,

if not, so all I ask is share it with your friends and hopefully they don't get any lip from them. And, uh, another great example of why we need to improve public transit.

The street car, amazing. Let's get the rest of the fucking sit. Let's get to the rest of the fucking area, dude. Not saying every car, every street you have the street car, because that's not practical or possible, really. But just the key, we're like McHaff Avenue. It can't be done. It should be done.

And certainly now that the extent, The major extension is open and the plaza stop is open and that is a huge stop. No excuses. Just, uh, let's get you done. Let's get you done. I started from the plaza, go through the plaza, go through the plaza, go through the plaza, into Ward Parkway and then Sharmichita Parkway. Johnson Drive, uh, you could have.

the first line terminate had the Mission Transit Center on Johnson Drive before Brett Sullivan 2-1 for Quivera to take care of Oak Park, the mall, community college, and Edwards campus for KU.

And then go one down my calf here. Because it is essentially the main streets of at least of Lumpard. No excuses. Let's get this shit done.

And I'm tired of our civic leaders being fucking cheap skates on things like transit. And, yeah. And you may notice we have two

number two posts. So I'll just keep the ladder of the two just for a sandy sake. So I'm going to stop by the house real quick. We're going to take care of a couple things and then to work. I see if any packages came today that require my immediate attention. We come from there.
