Ron Pollelo.

SPEAKER_00 0:52

Wow. Wait, Ron Polelo.

SPEAKER_03 0:55

Why does that have a place in my brain?

SPEAKER_00 0:57

Wasn't Ron Polelo the guy who what were all the products on TV? That was Ron Popeel. He's so close.

SPEAKER_03 1:05

That was the uh Ron Co. Ronco. The guy's name was Ron Popeel, so he named his company Ronco.

SPEAKER_00 1:14

Shouldn't it be Ron Poe? Ron. Ron Popeel. Ron Poe. Ron Poco. Oh, Ron Co. Ron Company. Yeah.

Never seen it.

SPEAKER_01 1:44

I know. I don't know. I Is it that good? Does it still hold up? Oh my God.

SPEAKER_03 1:49

I literally I've probably watched it three times this year already. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:53

I I think what holds up more, Godfather or the entire series of Punky Brewster?

SPEAKER_03 1:59

Well, you know. Punky Brewster has such an incredible arc. If you watch the first episode and then the last episode, you realize the journey that Punky's been on. And uh, you know, really it's it's it's Punky's journey, I think, i parallel to Michael Corleone's.

SPEAKER_00 2:22

You think anyone in the history of binging has ever binged Punky Brewster from start to finish?

SPEAKER_03 2:27

A hundred percent. Someone you know your uh your headphones are on backwards, that's why the cord is going across your face like that.

SPEAKER_00 2:34

I'm gonna adjust. Yes. Please hold. I'll be right back.

unknown 2:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 2:38

Isn't that better? Isn't that better?

SPEAKER_00 2:40

It's funny. You've been looking at me with these on for, I don't know, five minutes? Yeah. And now you say something?

SPEAKER_03 2:45

I was just waiting for the right moment for you to turn your phone off for the love of God. Yeah. Punky Brewster. Wow. You pulled that. You just watch The Godfather, will you please just get that over with? Okay.

SPEAKER_02 2:58

Thank you.

SPEAKER_00 3:06

The okay was um I think we talked about this one too. Saturday Night Live uh Pete Davidson. The uh Okay. Okay.

SPEAKER_04 3:15

Okay. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 3:16

That's like the perfect Pete Davidson character. Uh jeepers. Wow. I don't know how long it's been since our last cast of Apod, but there's a lot happening.

SPEAKER_00 3:26

It's been a minute.

SPEAKER_03 3:27

A minute. It's uh wow, so much is going on on planet Earth. Is it though? I don't know where people left off on us. I think people, you know, people depend on us to get their news.

SPEAKER_00 3:40

And for the last, what, eight weeks?

SPEAKER_03 3:42

Yeah, they've probably been like, what is going on in the world?

SPEAKER_00 3:46

That would be great if they interviewed people and they said, Where do you get your news? Oh, CNN, Fox News, no agenda.

SPEAKER_03 3:53

Mostly no agenda. But I it's like, what's that? There's um oh, John Oliver. He does his show once a week and people turn in to get his news, and we do ours uh once a month. Is he considered news? John Oliver? I wouldn't call him news. Editorial News. I mean he's certainly topical. Certainly topical. Like an ointment. Hey, ointment. Um do you watch his show the daily uh Oh I love him. Yeah. Last week tonight. Yeah. Is that what it's called?

unknown 4:22

Last week tonight.

SPEAKER_00 4:22

Yeah, I think so. Yeah. No, I I love him. I he is phenomenal. He is incredible. The delivery that he does, I don't know how you have that seriously, you sustain that kind of energy for that long. Because it's nonstop. And I believe it's one take, too. I watched an interview with him.

SPEAKER_04 4:36

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_00 4:37

And he was talking about all the production they put into it and all the um uh walkthroughs or run-throughs of the show. And it is, I believe it's one take and it's non-stop. And he does not do drugs.

SPEAKER_03 4:51

Uh yes. Um Yeah, it is. It is he he he's very focused, very concentrated, and uh he does an amazing job.

SPEAKER_00 4:59

It's pretty cool. Yeah, it's not I don't know what you mean by one take, but it's uh I don't think they stop the cameras and he says, you know, let's do that again. I don't think.

SPEAKER_03 5:08

When he does his his monologues or his his main story points, yeah, it is it is continuous. But you know, you have to remember there are prompters, there are multi-camera going.

SPEAKER_00 5:18

You're a prompter.

SPEAKER_03 5:19

So they can cut back and forth.

SPEAKER_02 5:20

You don't know what you're talking about.

SPEAKER_00 5:21

Nope. Nope. I don't. No, a lot a lot's going on on Earth and a lot's going on in space. You get that one in space? The rocket? No? Yeah. Yeah. Rocket's up there right now.

SPEAKER_03 5:33

They're they're uh going to see the dark side of the moon. I was thinking about that. Pink Floyd would be so stoked. A real s they were really ahead of their time. Do you think Pink is sitting there going, it's about time? I don't know why he sounds like the Beatles, but you know he's anti-Semitic. Pink is?

SPEAKER_00 5:49

Not Pink. Or Floyd. Floyd. Okay. Yeah. Um, I was thinking about this. The dark side of the moon. Here's a question. Does the moon not spin? Is it always is there always a dark side?

SPEAKER_03 6:04

Excellent question. Um to to my understanding, uh the uh everything rotates in the cosmos. There's nothing that is fixed.

SPEAKER_00 6:15

I believe it was Depeche Mode who once said everything counts. In large amounts.

SPEAKER_03 6:20

Yeah. Um but the for some reason, uh the way the Earth rotates and the way the moon rotates, and the way we're all rotating around the sun, for whatever reason, uh the we are only ever seeing one part of the moon.

SPEAKER_00 6:38

Aaron Powell So they are gonna So they're gonna go to the back the dark side of the moon at that time of the day.

SPEAKER_03 6:44

Yeah. Which is kind of the old joke, we're gonna go at night. Right. Exactly. Um Yeah, they're gonna go back. And apparently the other side of the moon is quite different than the side that we see. So okay. The composition is different, the landscape is different for whatever reason.

SPEAKER_00 7:03

Which means it doesn't rotate.

SPEAKER_03 7:05

No, it does rotate.

SPEAKER_00 7:07

But then the dark side or the other side with different ready topography wouldn't always be on the other side if it rotates. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 7:18

I don't quite know what you're saying.

SPEAKER_00 7:20

Yeah, you do.

SPEAKER_03 7:20

So is this a weird way of telling me that the earth is flat?

SPEAKER_00 7:24

Well, it is flat. Noah just looked into his phone and said, does the Yes. The moon rotates, of course.

SPEAKER_03 7:30

So the moon rotates. Uh it rotates once every time it orbits Earth. The moon takes about twenty-seven days to orbit Earth, and it also takes about twenty-seven days to rotate once on its axis.

SPEAKER_00 7:42

So why is there a dark side of the moon, like you said? The the the back side is a different landscape.

SPEAKER_03 7:47

Aaron Powell Yes, yes. Um apparently so the thing being that the moon rotates much, much slower than the Earth does.

SPEAKER_00 7:57

Every twenty-seven days?

SPEAKER_03 7:58

27 days to rotate once on its axis.

SPEAKER_00 8:00

I believe it takes us one day to rotate. That would be a day, yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 8:05

Um no.

SPEAKER_00 8:07

No. To be exact, we spend once every twenty-four hours. We So listen, it's uh we in we anointed the twenty-four hours to be a day.

SPEAKER_03 8:15

Yeah.

unknown 8:15

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 8:16

So uh uh here's what it is. Um but uh uh uh ours takes twenty-four hours, the moon takes twenty-seven days. You got that?

SPEAKER_00 8:25

Yeah which is what this is something you would say. Or Anthony Jessel No, uh who's who's the comedian I like, the tall Jewish guy. What's his name? Gary Gallery? This is what he would say. Okay. The kind of like the naming the states, the initials of the states. He would naming what are we gonna call the the panel sitting around 50,000 years ago. Every time the earth goes around in a circle, let's call it a spin. Nope, let's don't call it a spin. No good, don't like it. We'll get dizzy. Yeah. Let's call it a rotation. Nope. That was by the way, that's what's his name? George Carlin. Oh, yeah. Um And it took them what three three twenty three cycles, three circles to get to a day.

SPEAKER_03 9:12

Yes. That's how they figured it out. That's like the that's how um did you ever see the the Hudsucker proxy?

SPEAKER_00 9:20

I've seen it, I don't remember.

SPEAKER_03 9:21

Where they invent the hula hoop. No. Yeah. And they're trying to come up with names for it. And there's a whole montage where they come up with all the names for hula hoop that don't get chosen. And there's a big uh audible montage where they go. The wacky circumference. And then my favorite one was this guy comes up in his giant face and he goes, the belly go round. Who's in that? Uh Tim Robbins is the lead and a bunch of other phenomenal actors. But anyway, imagine walking in a circle around someone who always is facing them. So if I'm facing you and we're and I'm circling you while you're circling, you're we're always going to be face to face. Okay? That's just how it works. So we got without going too far into it. Yes, the moon, as I suspect it does rotate. We rotate, it's just so that the timing is that we always are looking at each other's face.

SPEAKER_00 10:15

The new name of our show?

It started with the moon, it led to a lot of other things. And I don't know how Was there a point before the moon started?

SPEAKER_00 10:43

Uh-uh. You know what we're gonna call this? What? The tune-out section. Out to lunch. That is still one of the greatest skits.

SPEAKER_00 11:30

Aaron Powell Give me one. Um you know There are no challenges, by the way.

SPEAKER_03 11:36

There are only opportunities.

SPEAKER_00 11:38

Okay. I didn't have an ending of that.

SPEAKER_03 11:40

I was hoping to come up with something, but did I just quote somebody or did I just make a quote?

SPEAKER_00 11:44

You quoted yourself. You quoted quote. If that's say it again.

SPEAKER_03 11:48

Well, you said there are no challenges, and I said I'm sure someone said that. Someone said something like it anyway.

SPEAKER_00 11:54

Neil deGrasse Tyson.

SPEAKER_03 11:56

Neil deGrasse Genda. I don't know. I I mean, you know, geez, life. My my son, my my my my almost four-year-old is on a spring break from from fucking preschool, you know, because God knows they they stress out so hard.

SPEAKER_00 12:10

They have a spring break nursery school.

SPEAKER_03 12:12

Two plus weeks. Yeah. Uh-uh. Oh, yeah. And so they uh uh yeah, you know, because he's just overwhelmed with finger painting and playing in the sandbox. He needs time to decompress.

SPEAKER_00 12:22

So he's winding down.

SPEAKER_03 12:24

Yeah, he needs that uh downtime before he can go back and do more of that. So we've had to deal, you know, not had to deal, but we've uh had our whole schedule disrupted, as they say. We also went from crib to bed now. I had to deassemble his crib, which was some sort of engineering master feat on my part, and then put his bed together. Uh kind of racing.

SPEAKER_00 12:50

What kind of racing car bed did you get?

SPEAKER_03 12:51

We did it's not a racing car bed. It's just abed, a small little bed. Um racing car will come down the road.

SPEAKER_01 12:59

Uh.

SPEAKER_03 13:00

Uh.

SPEAKER_01 13:01

I don't like uh. It just sounds ah. What did you say? Abed. Say it again.

SPEAKER_00 13:09

Abed.

SPEAKER_03 13:09

I'm just being ridiculous. It's just I'm just having fun. Okay. I like that. Um so we've been doing that.

SPEAKER_00 13:17

Wait, that just turned into the second tune out section.

SPEAKER_03 13:19

That was so short, though. I don't even know.

SPEAKER_00 13:21

It's enough of a sample size if anyone's listening in.

SPEAKER_03 13:25

I think this part would be actually more. Um so anyway, yeah. So it's been a crazy, crazy couple weeks. Thank God he goes back to whatever you call it on Monday. Um, and uh we'll have some some ones apiece, but we're also losing nap. Now my wife has decided we have to phase out his nap, even though yet to yesterday he took a massive power nap.

SPEAKER_00 13:47

Don't they take a nap in nursery school?

SPEAKER_03 13:49

No, no, because he gets out at twelve thirty and comes home. It's a short ass day.

SPEAKER_00 13:53

What time does he get there?

SPEAKER_03 13:54

Nine.

SPEAKER_00 13:56

He's in school for three and a half hours.

SPEAKER_03 13:58

Yeah. And we pay eight trillion dollars.

SPEAKER_00 14:00

Yeah. It's a lot per hour.

SPEAKER_03 14:02

Yeah, it is. I would rather he be there till about six p.m. and then I could pick him up, take him home, put him to bed. That would be good.

SPEAKER_00 14:09

So next year, does he graduate to is it kindergarten?

SPEAKER_03 14:12

Uh yes. Yeah, he will get no. Uh I don't know. I don't know. I'm so confused. Because his birthday is in May, it's all fucked up. No, May's a good birthday. No, it's a terrible one.

SPEAKER_00 14:23

I thought May is like the perfect birthday for grade school.

SPEAKER_03 14:26

Well, that's the question. It's either the perfect one or it's horrible because if if he's if he like say he turns five in May. Okay, you got June, July, August, then he starts school in September.

SPEAKER_00 14:37

That's a five-year-old.

SPEAKER_03 14:38

Yeah. He will never he will not turn six until the following year. Trevor Burrus, Jr.

SPEAKER_00 14:43

Well, I was June. I was always behind.

SPEAKER_03 14:46

So that means like if he's turns seventeen.

SPEAKER_00 14:49

Wait, I said I was June. I still am June, by the way. You still are. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 14:52

So if he turns 17, May, going into his senior year of high school, he won't turn 18.

SPEAKER_00 14:58

I did not either.

SPEAKER_03 15:00

Until after the school year. Or the the the I guess the last day, the last days of school in May before June, July, and August. So like I I don't know. It kind of sucks because he gets his driver's license, I think will be the end of his junior year.

SPEAKER_00 15:16

Yeah. That's terrible. No, no. No, that's not right.

SPEAKER_03 15:20

It is. He'll turn 16 the end of that year, and then he'll be seven. He'll be seventeen.

SPEAKER_00 15:27

Uh-uh. I'm thinking of my year, my junior and senior years. Is that right? I only had a car for like one month, my junior year of high school.

SPEAKER_03 15:38

I don't know, because I was driving everyone around because I got my license when I was 15.

unknown 15:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 15:43

Do you remember that?

SPEAKER_00 15:43

Yeah. Why?

SPEAKER_01 15:45

Um because my waiver.

SPEAKER_00 15:48

What wait, I remember this now. You had a waiver of some what was?

SPEAKER_03 15:51

Yeah. Well, because our world back in those days, which I always try to tell people, people think, oh, you live in hills, you know, in Calabasas. And I go, you have no idea how rural it was when we lived there. And I tell them that old Calabasas Road was not paved. They're like, what? What are you talking about?

SPEAKER_00 16:10

Where the where cantina is? Yeah. It wasn't paved?

SPEAKER_03 16:13

No, it was a dirt road.

SPEAKER_00 16:14

It was?

SPEAKER_03 16:15

Yeah. It was. That was a dirt road. When it would rain really bad, that road would wash out and you could not get to school from the back gate of Aaron.

SPEAKER_00 16:22

I don't recall that. Okay. Even where the cantina was, not higher up?

SPEAKER_03 16:28

Especially where the cantina was. Really? Yeah. That whole section of old Calabasas was unpaved.

SPEAKER_00 16:33

I do not recall.

SPEAKER_03 16:34

Well, you wouldn't have gone up and down that much because you were in Mullwood.

SPEAKER_00 16:38

So but I haven't heard that term in a lot of Mullwood. But you're right. It wasn't that. That's what it was called.

SPEAKER_03 16:42

I don't know what it's called now. But anyway, point being that, you know, um uh because we lived in what was considered a rural area at the time, my father, who had a little pullback in those days, was able to get me what was known as a farm license.

SPEAKER_00 16:59

You get a farm license? A farm license. That's why you drove the tractor tune from school. Yes.

SPEAKER_03 17:04

And so I was able to get my actual driver's license at 15 as opposed to a learner's permit. Of course, I had already literally been driving for like three years. I started like when I was 13 years old, my dad taught me to drive.

SPEAKER_00 17:15

I can see your dad doing that.

SPEAKER_03 17:16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 17:17

I don't remember that though.

SPEAKER_03 17:18

I would drive all over the place.

SPEAKER_00 17:19

Um You ever go cow tipping? We never did cow tipping. I never did cow tipping.

SPEAKER_03 17:23

Yeah, I don't still don't know if that's a real thing. No, it is. It must be.

SPEAKER_00 17:26

I've asked. In real rural areas. People, people even even here in Southern California where we grew up, which is not the most I can't say the word. R-U-R-A-L.

SPEAKER_03 17:35

Rural.

SPEAKER_00 17:36

I can't say it.

SPEAKER_03 17:37

Let me hear you.

SPEAKER_00 17:38

Rur Nope. Um in that area, in that dusty area. We did not grow up in an overly dusty area, but there was a college near us, Pierce College. Yes. That had that farm.

SPEAKER_03 17:51

They they're that was almost an agricultural school. It was 100%. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 17:55

But they had cows, and that's where people went cow tipping.

SPEAKER_03 17:57

Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_00 17:57

I never tipped a cow.

SPEAKER_03 17:58

Just get drunk and go cow tipping. Do you remember what we used to drink in those days? Do you remember the one drink that was so atrociously gut-wrenchingly bad?

SPEAKER_00 18:06

I think so. Ready?

SPEAKER_03 18:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 18:09

There's two that come to mind.

SPEAKER_03 18:11

Okay. Yeah, there was two. I I can think of two.

SPEAKER_00 18:14

Was one a wine?

SPEAKER_03 18:16

No.

SPEAKER_00 18:16

Okay. So it's not Boone's Farm.

SPEAKER_03 18:18

Well, Boone's Farm people did have, but yeah. But the one that Calabasas high school kids had.

SPEAKER_00 18:24

I think I I think I know where you're going. Okay. And I'm going to throw out Bartles and James.

SPEAKER_03 18:30

Aaron Ross Powell Bartles and James, the wine coolers, yes. No, but there was a hard liquor.

SPEAKER_00 18:35

Hard liquor?

SPEAKER_03 18:36

There was a hard liquor that people would carry bottles of, like little little pints.

SPEAKER_00 18:40

I didn't not Jaeger.

SPEAKER_03 18:43

No. It was Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Hold on. It starts with a P.

SPEAKER_00 18:46

This is the third tune-out section. It starts with a P. Pen P Pen P it starts with a P, the little bottle of alcohol. It starts with a P. Yes. Not pee pee.

SPEAKER_03 19:01

It was not urine.

SPEAKER_00 19:02

We didn't drink pee pee, did we?

SPEAKER_03 19:03

I did not.

SPEAKER_00 19:04

We drank. It starts with a pee. I'm just going to say it so we can move on.

SPEAKER_03 19:08

Peppermint schnapps.

SPEAKER_00 19:09

Oh my god, yeah. Yeah. I never drank it though.

SPEAKER_03 19:11

I remember going to parties, and at every Calabasas party out in someone's rural area, we'd walk out, especially in Hidden Hills, out to a corral or a barn, and someone would have a bottle of peppermint schnapps. I didn't think it was the worst tasting swill you could ever imagine.

SPEAKER_00 19:29

I wouldn't know. I wasn't invited to parties in high school.

SPEAKER_03 19:31

You were uh you weren't like a party guy.

SPEAKER_00 19:34

Yeah, I was. Yeah. That was a joke. That was a self-deprecating.

SPEAKER_03 19:40

But that one group, my God, peppermint schnapps was everywhere. You know why? Because I think they could get girls to drink it. And it was like, oh, hey, the girls like this. Let's bring this garbage.

SPEAKER_00 19:49

What would the girls do after they drank it, Noah?

SPEAKER_03 19:52

Horrible things that you know were off limits. No, nothing.

SPEAKER_01 19:56

Really nothing, to be honest.

unknown 19:58

Trevor Burrus, Jr.

SPEAKER_01 19:58

I can vouch for it. They did nothing with me.

SPEAKER_03 20:03

Oh, Roofies and this and that. Like in our day, people would like to drink or like people would have a little bit, and they would just get, you know, a little bit silly or stupid. It wasn't like anyone was getting blackout drunk and you know that just I don't remember anything like that happening.

SPEAKER_00 20:16

I don't remember that. No.

SPEAKER_03 20:17

I I could honestly say I don't remember one ever even incident of anybody being taken advantage of it or something.

SPEAKER_00 20:23

I don't think I drink alcohol, alcohol. I drank beers in high school.

SPEAKER_03 20:26

Oh yeah. Beers and wine coolers when those came out.

SPEAKER_00 20:28

Wine coolers and tea grooms. What were there were two beers that that I drank? Like my my groups. What do you think they were?

SPEAKER_01 20:35

Uh Coors.

SPEAKER_00 20:37

Nope.

SPEAKER_01 20:37

No?

SPEAKER_00 20:38

Nope. Nope. I don't know if one of them is still around. You remember uh my my group later in high school. Um we don't say last names. Ron, Stuart, Steve. You know that group. Okay. Mike.

SPEAKER_03 20:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 20:54

Um We drank Henry Weinhart's.

SPEAKER_03 20:57

Oh God, yes. Private reserve.

SPEAKER_00 21:00

That is a beer, right? Henry?

SPEAKER_03 21:02

Yeah, Henry Weinhart's. It was at least.

SPEAKER_00 21:04

Wait, there's a a third. Uh Low and Brow.

SPEAKER_03 21:08

That was horrible, but you drank that to seem sophisticated.

SPEAKER_00 21:11

I think so. And then the other one with with you know my good friend Steve, Hidden Hill, Steve.

SPEAKER_03 21:16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 21:16

That was Michelobe.

SPEAKER_03 21:18

Oh, yes.

SPEAKER_00 21:18

We drank Michelobes.

SPEAKER_03 21:20

Those were those were the popular brands at those times for people who wanted to seem like they had, you know, finer tastes.

SPEAKER_00 21:26

Oh, yeah, that was us. Finer taste.

SPEAKER_03 21:30

Yep, yep. All right. Jesus Christ Almighty. We've already finished the show.

SPEAKER_00 21:34

I've got something. Please. I've got something you texted me last night when I was at dinner.

SPEAKER_03 21:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 21:40

Um Can we go?

SPEAKER_03 21:41

Yeah. We'll start with that.

SPEAKER_00 21:43

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 21:43

Well, we'll get through that quickly.

SPEAKER_00 21:46

Well, let's throw out today's date. Okay. Yeah. Today's date, Noah, is April 3rd in the year 2026. Yes. So if anyone looks at the calendar, last night, April 2nd, the Los Angeles Lakers were In Oklahoma City playing the Oklahoma City Thunder in a basketball game.

SPEAKER_03 22:03

Well, allegedly.

SPEAKER_00 22:04

Uh-huh. And at 64, I'm looking at my phone. At 648 last night when I'm at dinner last night, that's why I didn't respond. Yeah. Okay. And also because we were going to talk about this today. Such good content. Tune out section number four. Go. Or five. Noah wrote to Steve Agenda. No. I think you voiced it.

SPEAKER_03 22:26

It was supposed to say I know. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 22:28

I know the Lakers have won like 600 games in a row, which is close. I think there are like 500. But I'm going on the record right now. I think OKC, Oklahoma City, uh is going to run them off the court tonight. I see so many flaws in this team's defense, and a team like Oklahoma is going to just carve them to pieces. Now I hope I'm wrong, but I'm going on the record before the game, so we can talk about it tomorrow, which is currently right now, April 3rd. Yes. Um you are like Noah Doness. I got home, I saw this, and I did not see the score until I got in the car, which was probably 9 30 last night. Yeah. And the game was over. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 23:03

The game was over at about 7 45.

SPEAKER_00 23:05

You call you Yeah. Apparently. You called this.

SPEAKER_03 23:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 23:10

That's that's kind of nuts, actually. Noah the Greek.

SPEAKER_03 23:14

I know.

SPEAKER_01 23:14

I I've I sometimes like beat myself up.

SPEAKER_00 23:16

Oh, wait, wait, wait. Wait. We lost by 43. We we never got to that part.

SPEAKER_03 23:21

Yeah, we lost by yes. At the end of the part was, yes, whatever pr horrible predictions I made were almost exceeded by the Lakers. Uh I know. I sometimes get mad that I don't bet on sports because um I wouldn't do it like all the time, but I there are certain times when I just feel like I know what's going to happen uh in a way that I, you know, I just I've been watching them a lot, and I think they, you know, they've been playing good basketball, but they've been beating, you know, midland teams and a few good teams that had off nights. And I felt like on a lot of those games the Lakers won because they they played very well, and the other teams had off nights. Poor shooting, ball just didn't bounce their way, one thing or another. Uh they they found out sort of the Lakers kryptonite, but then they didn't really abuse it the way they could. And I just I just knew I was like, uh, the way Oklahoma City plays is is literally everything that the Lakers can't deal with. And I just I know everyone was like, oh, there's gonna be a preview of the Western Conference Finals. It's not. It's not at all. And I don't think, to be honest, well, now Luke is hurt. Yep. Um they have not yet released the results of his MRI.

SPEAKER_00 24:39

It didn't look good on the highlights.

SPEAKER_03 24:41

No. He went down and you could see on his face, and players know. Players know when they're hurt, and they know when they're injured. And he was injured. And I don't think he's coming back. I don't think he's coming back this season. Maybe he comes back for the playoffs, but I I think he's done, and I think the Lakers are done.

SPEAKER_00 25:01

Well, without him, they are done. They're certainly done.

SPEAKER_03 25:03

And I I you could just see he first of all, he should have never been in that game.

SPEAKER_00 25:08

How much were they down when he was when he got hurt?

SPEAKER_03 25:10

He came back and they he was I think they were down by 30.

SPEAKER_00 25:13

What part of the game, though?

SPEAKER_03 25:14

The second half. Really? And there was no chance they were winning that game. There was zero chance they were winning that game. They weren't winning that game after the first quarter. Anyway, again, I think JJ Reddick has a lot of flaws as a head coach. I think he has a lot of growing up to do. They, you know, like I said, teams have exploited the Lakers' defensive weaknesses before, and the good teams are gonna just have a field day with it. They just, it's I don't understand it. And I the real thing is this soft switching defense where they switch everything, they basically just say, hey, who do you want us to cover who? Oh, you want us to put our smallest guy on your big down on the block? Sure. Oh, you want to pull our big out 30 feet away from the basket and have him try to guard your point guard? Sure, we'll do whatever you say. And they get killed. They're in scramble mode all the time. Luka Donchit's bringing the ball up from half from baseline every time. I have no idea why they do that. Anyone could bring the ball up. It's he's so slow. He barely gets across the timeline at 16 seconds, and then they've got 14 seconds to get their offense together, 10 of which is spent with him just dribbling the ball. Now, good, granted, he's a great player. He's phenomenal. He is, but he needs to improve. Their offense is too stagnant, it's too predictable. And like I said, last night, Oklahoma just abused every weakness that I've been seeing in them. Trevor Burrus, Jr.

SPEAKER_00 26:39

Noah, you ignorant slut. Yeah. I I agreed with you up until the offense.

SPEAKER_04 26:46

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_00 26:48

They have one of the best offenses in the league.

SPEAKER_03 26:50

They don't.

SPEAKER_00 26:51

Yeah, they do.

SPEAKER_03 26:51

They don't. I'm telling you, the numbers are just skewed. The teams they've been playing and the way they've been playing, they've been getting away with a lot, and their offense is good. But if you're a really good defensive team, it's very easy to slow their offense down. And I'll tell you this whoever they play in the first round of the playoffs, whoever it is, they won't win a seven-game series because they adorable Well, not without Luca.

SPEAKER_00 27:16

Even if they have Luca. No, they're beating Houston. Right now they're on track to play Houston. They're going to beat Houston.

SPEAKER_03 27:20

I don't think they will.

SPEAKER_00 27:21

Houston's not playing well.

SPEAKER_03 27:22

Minnesota's losing too many games. It might be that Minnesota and Minnesota will beat them for sure.

SPEAKER_00 27:26

As a team, we, I'll say we because we are the Lakers.

SPEAKER_03 27:29

I'll give you this. If it's Houston, maybe they win a seven-game series. If it's Denver or Minnesota, they have no chance. Oh no Minnesota? No chance. No, we beat Minnesota. They will not win in the seven games. Yeah, we will. Because Minnesota will realize what's what, they'll make the adjustments, and the Lakers won't, and they will lose.

SPEAKER_00 27:49

I think you're you're under you're undervaluing JJ J.J. Reddick's second season in the NBA. Trevor Burrus, Jr. They average 116 points a game. They are currently roughly one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Uh twelfth. Twelfth in the league in score in points score in points per game. Trevor Burrus, Jr.

SPEAKER_03 28:09

Yeah, that's almost middle of the pack.

SPEAKER_00 28:10

It is middle of the pack.

SPEAKER_03 28:11

That's no big deal.

SPEAKER_00 28:12

No, it's not. But to your point about who they've played, I just had that up.

SPEAKER_03 28:16

Trevor Burrus, Jr.: I know. Look, I know they beat Denver. Well, no, no, no, no. They beat some good teams. They beat Cleveland. They did.

SPEAKER_00 28:21

They beat Cleveland handily at home, which was nice. But before that, this goes to your point, so we don't have to argue about it because I'm actually going to agree with you. We beat Washington, a terrible team. We beat Brooklyn, a terrible team. We beat the Pacers by seven. We were up by 40 in that game. Yep. Terrible team. We lost at Detroit. Yep. Best team in the East. We beat Orlando by one, fine on the road. We beat Miami on the road. That's a good win.

unknown 28:46

Yep.

SPEAKER_03 28:46

That Orlando game was basically a loss until they miracled their way out.

SPEAKER_00 28:50

Remember a couple weeks ago we beat Houston twice in Houston. Yep. We looked good then. That was good. Yep. We beat Denver at home. That's a good that was a really good win, actually. Chicago, Minnesota. But here's the here's the thing. Aren't we at the point now we it a few years ago. No. More than that. Like ten years ago when when we were a mid-range team, half the teams were better than us. We're not at that point anymore. So it's hard for the number of teams that you could say are better than the Lakers, there's not that many. It's a handful at this point. It just is. Oh I'd agree with you. Trevor Burrus, Jr. So no. But to the point of we beat the teams we should be beating, you know, that argument. Well, that's if how many teams? 30 teams in the league, whatever. 32 teams. If you put us top seven, top eight, which is about where we should be, I think, in the league. That means we should be beating twenty-three, twenty-four of the teams.

SPEAKER_01 29:44

Right.

SPEAKER_00 29:45

Okay. So the point is that you're almost every night uh two out of three games you should be winning then.

SPEAKER_03 29:53

Yes. Okay. And that's pretty much what they're doing. Which is great. That's fantastic. Yes. But as a Lakers fan, it's like, are we going to win a championship? And 100% the answer is that we're going to be able to do that.

SPEAKER_00 30:03

No. But I didn't make a bet, though. Speaking of betting. What'd you bet? When they just started to get hot about a month ago, there's odds you can take on a team winning the championship at that point in the season.

SPEAKER_03 30:15

Oh, yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 30:16

So I bet twenty. Twenty dollars. Yeah. What do you think it was to win? Twenty to win what?

SPEAKER_03 30:22

Oh God. Oh, they had to be it had to be at least thirty to one.

SPEAKER_00 30:32

Thirty to one would be six hundred.

SPEAKER_03 30:34

Yeah, something like that.

SPEAKER_00 30:35

No, higher. It's higher.

SPEAKER_03 30:36

It's like fifty to one.

SPEAKER_00 30:37

I can't even do the odds right now. It was a thousand.

SPEAKER_03 30:40

Twenty dollars to win a thousand?

SPEAKER_00 30:42

Yes. For the Lakers to win the. Well, they're not going to win it.

SPEAKER_03 30:44

That's a I believe that's a well, twenty times five is a hundred times ten is uh five hundred. That's fifty. That's fifty to one.

SPEAKER_00 30:54

If I had a ga an online gambling set I could look at, which I might have, I'm gonna pull it up and tell you exactly.

SPEAKER_03 30:59

And tune out number six.

SPEAKER_00 31:01

Yep.

SPEAKER_03 31:01

Um well that's a that's a that's a good that's a good uh return. That's a good return, but uh nonetheless you will lose that twenty dollars. Yeah.

unknown 31:10

No.

SPEAKER_03 31:10

That's a that's a bad return.

SPEAKER_00 31:12

Here it was. Uh plus five thousand. Plus five thousand? They were plus five thousand at the time.

unknown 31:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 31:18

But that's against a hundred. Yeah. So that's fifty. No. Yeah, that's fifty to one. Yeah, it's fifty to one.

SPEAKER_00 31:27

Uh-uh. Twenty? Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 31:32

So plus five thousand against a hundred dollar bet.

SPEAKER_00 31:34

Correct.

SPEAKER_03 31:34

So yeah, that's a that's a that's a fun bet, but it's a it's a zero percent chance of winning.

SPEAKER_00 31:40

What do you think they are currently right this second, I'm looking at it.

SPEAKER_03 31:42

Right now, with Luca hurt?

SPEAKER_00 31:44

And I don't know if this takes into account Luca Hurricane.

SPEAKER_03 31:46

I would say it's higher. It has to take into account Luca because the odds are constantly moving whenever anything happens.

SPEAKER_00 31:52

Aaron Powell It's oddly much less. It's plus twenty two hundred. Much less.

SPEAKER_03 31:58

That is very weird.

SPEAKER_00 31:59

20 to win, 440. Trevor Burrus, Jr.

SPEAKER_03 32:01

That's very strange. I think in an hour or so when that MRI comes back, it's gonna go through the roof.

SPEAKER_00 32:06

Aaron Powell What do you think OKC is? They're the favorites. What do you think they are, though? 100 to win.

SPEAKER_03 32:12

Uh 140.

SPEAKER_00 32:14

Close, 125. That's a heavy favorite.

SPEAKER_03 32:17

Pretty good with numbers. Uh yeah. No, that's about as heavy as uh any team is ever going to be favored. I mean, that's basically an even money bet against the field.

SPEAKER_00 32:25

Well no Adam's.

SPEAKER_03 32:26

That's like a hardcore. That's a hardcore feeling in the public that they're going to win it all. And they should be. I mean, you know, who knows how the hell OKC figured out the basketball hack because that team did it absolutely right.

unknown 32:43

Trevor Burrus, Jr.

SPEAKER_00 32:43

The hack was making an incredible trade for the Clippers are still for an undervalued Alexander. I just how did the Clippers get a lot of people?

SPEAKER_03 32:52

What did the Clippers get for that guy? Nothing.

SPEAKER_00 32:55

Was it Paul George? Was he part of that?

SPEAKER_03 32:57

No, I don't think so. Paul George was he on OKC at the time? Maybe. But yeah. But not just that, dude. They've drafted incredibly well. They've picked up great free agents. I mean, the the team is just stacked. They are just stacked. It's unbelievable.

SPEAKER_00 33:13

So we have we only have five games left. At Dallas, should still be a win, obviously. At home against OKC, that's a loss. At Golden State.

SPEAKER_03 33:23

Well, they should win that.

SPEAKER_00 33:25

We should. Against the Suns. Suns are battling for a playoff spot. Yeah. And then Utah, that's a win. So we should win probably two to three of those games.

SPEAKER_03 33:32

Yeah, but at this point, it's all kind of I I I honestly I think last night is going to rattle this team. I think they got a big dose of oh my God, the smoke and mirrors are gone, and this is what we really are facing. And the disparity. That's what I was going to say. Like they're the Lakers are probably, like what you said, one of the top, you know, eight teams. You know, if you look at Detroit, Boston, Cleveland, that's the East, right? And maybe the Knicks.

SPEAKER_00 33:58

No, not anymore.

SPEAKER_03 33:59

The lower end of it.

SPEAKER_00 34:00

Trevor Burrus, Jr.: The Knicks are not playing well in the last month.

SPEAKER_03 34:02

But you know, they've got enough personnel. So that those four teams.

SPEAKER_00 34:05

Yep.

SPEAKER_03 34:06

And then, you know, Denver, OKC, San Antonio, maybe Minnesota, and then the Lakers.

SPEAKER_00 34:16

I'm not putting Denver up there. I would.

SPEAKER_03 34:18

I wouldn't I wouldn't want to face them in the playoffs.

SPEAKER_00 34:21

No, no. And I wouldn't want to face the Clippers either. Seriously. Clippers? Clippers have had a great second half.

SPEAKER_03 34:26

Well, they're not going to be in the playoffs, so nobody has to agree about that.

SPEAKER_00 34:28

What are they going to be in the play-in? In the play-in, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 34:30

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 34:31

But the point being, there's there's a there's like three teams. I think Boston is very, very formidable. Yep. Uh San Antonio and OKC. I think those three teams are markedly better than the field.

SPEAKER_00 34:46

Trevor Burrus, Jr.: You know what's insane?

SPEAKER_03 34:48

If one of those three teams doesn't win, it will be a huge upset.

SPEAKER_00 34:53

It's insane how quickly San Antonio got to this status. They are so good as a team. Trevor Burrus, Jr.: Yeah, they are. I mean, Wemby is just he's gonna go down as honestly one of the he should go down as one of the best ever. He stays healthy.

SPEAKER_03 35:07

If he doesn't go down, he will go down as one of the best.

SPEAKER_00 35:11

Tall, skinny guys don't have a great record.

SPEAKER_03 35:13

I still yeah. I mean, now he's built pretty sturdy. He's still pretty sturdy. For one of those guys, but he's still one of those guys.

SPEAKER_00 35:20

Ralph Sampson's career, it was fine. Yeah. Sean Bradley did not have a great career. No, no. It was decent, nothing great. No. What other really tall, skinny guy? Mark Eaton was not skinny. Remember Mark Eaton? No, he was big. He was big, but he didn't play offense.

SPEAKER_03 35:35

Like a, you know, Frankenstein. Trevor Burrus, Jr.

SPEAKER_00 35:37

He was a shop locker.

SPEAKER_03 35:38

Yeah. No, they Wemby is a freak. He's a freak. But I mean, he is much more sturdily built than any of those guys that are, you know, 7'2 plus. Um, I mean, Kareem was 7'2, and you know, he obviously was very strong for the Aaron.

SPEAKER_00 35:57

He had a good career, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 35:58

Kareem was he did all right. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you know, for the 20 years that he led the league and scoring and everything else, he was, you know, decent. All right. Should we move on? Yeah, I do. Can I can I start by asking you a question? I like questions, you know that. I know. Um I'm gonna say this. Steve, you you um in addition to my Nostradamus like prediction, you sent Noah Damas. No Adamus, yeah. I should we change the name of the podcast?

SPEAKER_00 36:27

Right.

SPEAKER_03 36:27

I just every week I'll make a prediction and then we'll come back. Um you said dogs. Yep. Now we've had many dog discussions on here. I hope this isn't about that same dog in your neighborhood in that neighborhood does not put him on the leash.

SPEAKER_00 36:43

No. Okay. No, it's not about that, Noah.

SPEAKER_03 36:46

Well, what is it about, Steve?

SPEAKER_00 36:47

One day she woke up a couple Fridays, uh, three Fridays ago from today. Um, and she was beyond lethargic. Beyond. I mean, she's like a fun, fun, you know, fun little girl dog. Um anyway, a very, very, very lengthy story shortened. Um we still don't know what's what's wrong with her, but she's probably 80% back, 90% back, eating fine, pooping fine, running around, everything's great. She's she did spend three nights in the hospital. Take a guess with the medications and her three night stay in the hospital. Oh no. Take a guess so far what we're in. Take a guess.

SPEAKER_02 38:34

Is it over three K?

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 38:36

Is it is it over five?

SPEAKER_00 38:38

SPEAKER_00 38:49

Yep. Yep. And we did not have pet insurance, obviously.

SPEAKER_04 38:53

Oh.

SPEAKER_00 38:54

So we we were actually at the point when she was in the hospital. At what point do we cut it off? Yeah. And it's so hard to say that. You know you're a dog lover.

SPEAKER_03 39:05

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 39:05

And they are when people say they're part of the people who don't have dogs will not understand that they are part of your family. I get it. They're they're a dog. You and I both know they're dogs, they're pets. Yes. But they are an integral. So you can't say that word either. Integral. Part of the family.

SPEAKER_01 39:22

Well, you can't say it. Just look at me, I'll say the word, and then we can continue. Say it again. Integral. Part of the family.

SPEAKER_00 39:27

Okay. So you know, whenever you talk about something, you you you discuss something, you know it's gonna show up on your social media, right? Yeah. We're gonna now get gambling sites. Because we've been talking about that. Okay. The internet knows. On Facebook. Oh. On Facebook, I belong to a burnadoodle group that I joined four years ago. Of course you do. Okay. All of a sudden, within the last two weeks, I'm I don't know if I'm subscribed to these groups. Subscribed to the group. Right. I got the word. I don't know if I'm subscribed to the group. Uh there's a couple dog groups, burnadoodle groups. And recently, in the last four or five days, I saw I saw a post a few days ago. It it said something like, and I don't want to pull it up right now, but it said something like, My cute little Teddy, the dog, just one day lost all energy, and now look at look at him as he lies in his state. Look how cute he looks. Yeah. Oh well, this is real. And I responded, okay, I shouldn't have responded, but I just said, okay, sorry, sorry for your loss. The next day, these are true stories.

SPEAKER_03 40:41

By the way, I almost regret every time I respond to anything on the internet.

SPEAKER_00 40:45

Trevor Burrus, Jr. Well, this just happened today. Okay. You know how when you're you're one of them big movie stars and you go on a talk show like Jimmy Fallon or back in the day Johnny Carson and they would tell a story and you're going, no, that that's not real. Yeah. What I was going to say. These stories are real. What I'm telling you truly happened.

SPEAKER_04 41:01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 41:01

Next day I got another post. Uh look at how cute whatever Nancy Nancy? Yeah, Nancy the dog looks lying in my arms just uh you know a couple hours ago, she was perfectly fine, or she was living and now she's breathless and oh, she's very pushed.

SPEAKER_02 41:18

Jesus Christ.

SPEAKER_00 41:19

So I asked, actually I I threw out something a couple days uh yesterday, I think. It was look, I hope I'm not the only one thinking this. I feel terrible, but when did posting pictures of your deceased dog become a thing? And I did get a bunch of hearts and And also some, yeah, the the the others. So I did get one this morning, and it's interesting. It it disappeared. Oh. Yeah, I w I was gonna read it to you, but it I responded, they responded to me. I said something like wait, you know, I I won't pull it up, but I said something like um I understood someone said, yeah, I I said, well when when again, when did this become a thing? That that you're posting what about a happy day, a happy picture. And they said, Well, you don't it just goes off our off of our conversation a minute ago that they're part of the family. You don't under you obviously don't understand, Steve, or Genda, that my name's not Jenda on Facebook. I should change my profile to Genda. Yeah. Um you don't understand they're part of the family. My response, and thought of you when I wrote this, my response was, oh no, I get it. But here's a question. When when your daughter Julie dies, are you gonna post a picture of her lying on her literally deceased? I didn't w I don't like the word dead for whatever reason. I just said deceased. Are you gonna are you gonna post a picture of your deceased daughter, Nancy, or Julie, whatever I call her? And it disappeared. His responses disappeared, the guy who was I was exchanging with. But I was thinking about that. If they're a part of your family, why are you posting dead dog pictures? Do you agree or not agree or not?

SPEAKER_03 43:15

I think that's insane.

SPEAKER_00 43:17

That's what I thought.

SPEAKER_03 43:19

Um You're talking you're you mean they're posting a picture of the animal as it's it in deceased dead.

SPEAKER_00 43:25

Yeah. The word I don't like, the dead dog is.

SPEAKER_03 43:27

I don't see any rhyme or reason to that. But people post so much insane shit all over the internet just to get clicks to get whatever. And they've somebody thought, oh, if I do this, it'll get a lot of attention. And it probably did. I would never do that. I don't know why anyone would ever do that. It's fucking crazy. Um, but I do, I a hundred percent. I mean, your dog, your pets, you know. They're your family. And again, you know, and again, it's a different level of family because you don't have any of that other chaos and drama that you usually do have. The pet is just pure love, pure joy, pure acceptance. And that is, you know, a that's we didn't we almost never have that with humans.

SPEAKER_00 44:11

Here's dog trivia. Who gave the most impassioned monologue speech about their deceased dog, recently deceased dog on television? And everyone cried. Oh, you know it.

SPEAKER_03 44:27

Why are you posting it on the internet? Just have the conversation with her that you have have to have. Don't tell us about it. Well, that's the way Because this isn't about you and your sister. This is about you wanting everyone to reach out to you and low-key give you props for being such a wonderful human being. Trevor Burrus, Jr.

SPEAKER_00 46:47

That's my whole thing with Facebook. We have a friend, and I will not I will not divulge who it is from high school. Yeah. That he posts everything. And I talked to our friend Barry about this. Yes.

But Jimmy will say, Oh, I didn't know if I could do my 10-mile run today, but but I did, and I'm feeling really good. And beyond obnoxious, I don't get it.

So we did since we did dogs. Yeah. Um, because there's other things, a couple things to get to. I just want to say one of my best friends who I've been friends with since um I was his brother, his older brother was uh my almost exact age. His uh his I believe his birthday was February 2nd, and mine's February 1st. We met in Michigan. He was an incredible saxophone player. When I was a drummer, we went to that school in Interlochin uh Arts Academy. We met there in Michigan. He happened to be from Malibu. And so we immediately bonded because, oh, you're from LA, I'm from LA.

SPEAKER_00 48:32

Wait, I'm thinking, I know you went to Interlochen. Don't say the city. I know the city because I've talked about it with other people. I said my friend Noah, that's you. Yes. Went to what's the first letter?

Trevor Burrus, Travis, that's it.

SPEAKER_03 48:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 48:59

Sorry.

SPEAKER_03 49:00

So anyway, I went there and I uh and that school had people from all over the world, all over the country, kids, you know, high-level artists, musicians, whatever. And I met my friend Jeff, who lived in Malibu. And we were like, oh my God, LA guy, LA guy. We became fast friends, incredible musician.

SPEAKER_00 49:16

Is he still in music?

SPEAKER_03 49:17

Hold on. Um so uh about 10 years ago, we lost Jeff.

SPEAKER_02 49:22

Um he he uh You know where to go.

SPEAKER_03 49:24

Yeah, he died cancer, and that was really tough, really, really tough. Because this was a friend of mine, you know, since we were kids and we stayed in touch all our lives. But over the years, also his little brother became a great friend of mine as well. And he um went into the industry, a very successful guy, super funny, one of my best friends. When you know, we I was friends with both brothers growing up because we became friends. And when he passed, you know, um we we we were just this man very close. Their family, I've you know, I spent Thanksgivings with them and whatnot, and I've known them my whole life. And uh so unfortunately um their father passed away just two, two or three days ago, and uh he was an um a really uh he was a very prominent, preeminent uh doctor. I don't I don't want to get too specific, but at a super high level surgeon in one of the highest hospitals in in the country, um groundbreaking smart, smart guy. But you know, point being, I you know, I knew this guy since I was sixteen, seventeen years old. And um, you know, you and for my friend now who's lost his his mother, his brother, and now his father. And uh just was it was so sad to hear that. And we we went the three of us went and had dinner about two months ago. And I'm so glad. Yeah, his father and him and I went to the driver.

SPEAKER_00 50:54

The dad was able to go out.

SPEAKER_03 50:55

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And um uh, you know, he was having a little hard time getting around, but we we wanted to go, and so we went and had dinner, and it was it was great, it was really nice. You know, I hadn't seen his dad for a while. And you know how it is like when you if you have these friends for a long time and their parents know you since you're a fucking child, and you know, now you've all grown up and things change and whatever. But anyway, um, so he passed away a couple days ago, and I just was like, man, it's so hard because there's so many things like that. You just feel just like there's a sense of permanence, you know, nothing is, but you feel that there are certain people that are you you've known and been interacted with and had this, you know, connection to for so long. And then, you know, my friend now having lost both parents and a brother, and I just I felt like, oh my God, man, it's just so tough. And I'm so I was so grateful. I was so glad that we went and we had that dinner. And I told him, I texted him, I said, you know, I will I'm so glad we did that. I'm so glad you invited me, and I will hold that will be my lasting memory for however long I'm here of your father and and our connection. And I guess it was just, again, to me, just that reminder of, man, you don't know. You don't know what tomorrow brings, you don't know who's gonna be here and who's not. So there's somebody you want to call and go have dinner with. Go have dinner with them. Go say hi. Go hang out, go make some more memories because time is fleeting.

Anyway. Well, I don't know. We got a little bit more time, I think. Uh you got that was your waiter. That was the parents. That's funny. That was a good one. And 945. What did you want to speak about about 945, Jinder? What? No. Your notes were dog, waiter, parents, 945.

SPEAKER_00 1:02:21

Then I was going to arrive here at 945. I know. That's what it was. After picking up what? Oh, beverages. 11th show.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:29

I believe this is No Agenda 11. Is this our 11th show? I think it's 11. That's amazing. It feels like we've done so Few.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:36

About 11. It feels like 11 to me.

SPEAKER_00 1:02:40

I will say this though. There is a possibility, a good possibility. Our second guest.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:47

unknown 1:02:49

SPEAKER_00 1:03:10

Okay, ready? Yeah. I've got it. Noah. Yeah. I'm going to throw another shrimp onto the barbecue. That wasn't bad. Impeccable. Impeccable.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:24

Unbelievable. There's a very good chance.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:27

I fucking thought the what? What are you what was that? I was gonna say I forgot his name. I thought the what was the guy? What's the famous Australian actor guy's name? Oh, that's another knife. Paul Hogan.

SPEAKER_00 1:03:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:42

What was his name in the character of those movies? It was the title, the titular character.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:48

Yeah, it was Crocodile Dundee. That was it. I thought fucking Crocodile Dundee had literally wounded into the studio.

SPEAKER_00 1:03:57

There you go. That's all you get.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:00

Wait, do that one more time.

SPEAKER_00 1:04:02

That does not look like a knife to my eyes. Okay. Hence my not doing voices. Yes, go ahead.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:11

But that's good. I'm glad you did that, just so people at home can realize it's not as easy as it sounds.

SPEAKER_00 1:04:15

Oh God, it's not.

unknown 1:04:16

No.

SPEAKER_00 1:04:16

It is not. Voice lessons for what? Hours to get that. Our third guest is a potentially Well he he I will say this.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:28

Yeah. Groundbreaking.

unknown 1:04:29

Trevor Burrus, Jr.

SPEAKER_00 1:04:29

It is. He has agreed, which I am shocked that he has agreed to come on. He's one of the most prolific sports writers in the history of sports writing. Yeah. No, he he's in my top well, personally, he's in like my top three writers of all time. Uh he's become a pretty big social media personality. And I am beyond shocked when I reached out to him that he said yes. Um so hopefully, hopefully sometime in the near future, we will have our third guest, which I'm gonna be honest. I I can be somewhat witty at times. I'm gonna be shaking and sweating probably with him on the phone because I don't think he'll he won't be here live with us.

SPEAKER_04 1:05:15

Right.

SPEAKER_00 1:05:16

Um We will prepare for that one. It will not be no gender. I won't. No, you won't. I will.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:22

No, I will. I will not break precedent just because you've got some big shot sports guy.

SPEAKER_00 1:05:28

It's pretty cool. This is a good one. Is it Jim Rome? Uh bigger in my mind. People don't know that we went to high school with Jim Rome. Were you friends with him?

SPEAKER_03 1:05:38

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:05:39

He lived in Hidden Hills. We split tennis together. Yes, you did.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:41

And here's the funny thing. He was a snotty little obnoxious fuck even back then. Trevor Burrus, Jr.

SPEAKER_00 1:05:46

See, I don't remember him at all. Our other friends were our older friends, uh Steve and Andy and those those guys. Oh, yeah, yeah. They were all very close to him. Todd. You know Todd? Hidden Hills Todd. Tennis player Todd. We're all very good friends with him. Yeah. They still give him grief. And I don't remember him at all, Jim Rum.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:04

Um from high school. Yeah, he wasn't like uh he wasn't a super memorable character. He wasn't like a big shot on campus or anything. Um him and I were, you know, we were friends because we we lived in proximity. He and I we did play tennis together quite a bit over at the little the little Hidden Hills tennis court back in those days, which was just a little fucking nothing.

SPEAKER_00 1:06:22

Right.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:23

Just cracks all over it, tree branches.

SPEAKER_00 1:06:27

Our friend Barry is probably moving to Hidden Hills.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:29

Is he now?

SPEAKER_00 1:06:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:32

Moving on up.

SPEAKER_00 1:06:34

Renting in Hidden Hills. Still expensive. Jesus. Yeah. Nice area.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:39

Anyway. Anyway. Yep. Any spray. Well, um, any I mean, I think we've covered a lot of ground. I don't know if any of it was of any use to anybody whatsoever. But I mean, I hope our your uh we need to talk about our guests next when uh next time, hopefully let us know. And I'm sure the audience is uh bristling with anticipation, of course. Bristling like a toothbrush. Yeah. Um hairbrush. Is there anything else that you want to discuss? I mean, we didn't really even touch on the world at large. At the what? And the world at large and that's that might be too big of a conversation. We might have.

SPEAKER_00 1:07:10

Here's the thought. Because we don't have uh big big guests scheduled. Right. Maybe we do one other podcast and we do discuss world events which are beyond odd. I don't even want to get into it right now.

SPEAKER_03 1:07:23

I think yes, that they're well beyond odd.

SPEAKER_00 1:07:25

Aaron Ross Powell Yeah. So maybe we squeeze in one more of these amazing podcasts. Yes. And we know what we do? What? We tighten the ship. We batten down the hatches? Yeah, we get better at this. Because we're he did listen, though. Trevor Burrus, Jr.

SPEAKER_03 1:07:41

What would make you think we'll get better at this?

SPEAKER_00 1:07:44

Practice does not make perfect, does it?

unknown 1:07:46

No.

SPEAKER_03 1:07:46

Perfect practice makes less shit.

SPEAKER_00 1:07:49

Practice with intent. That's about golf. That's a golf thing. Anyone can get a bucket of balls and hit them. But if there's no purpose, if you're not working on something specific at the driving range, there's no need to hit golf balls. Trevor Burrus, Jr.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:01

Correct. That's true for everything in life. Sex. You know, I have broken down the way that one becomes uh expert and uh in anything. Trevor Burrus, Jr.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:11

You do it 10,000 times.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:13

Yeah, that's just that's one little anecdotal piece of the puzzle. But I've actually literally broken it down of how it starts to how you get there through for acting, and thus it's true for all things. Um and uh I will say that for another time because it's going into my book, but it's pretty uh amazing. Your book? I'm shocked that I thought of it. Yeah, writing an acting teaching book, an a book of life and acting teaching. Because of the many, many, many lessons that I have given over the course of teaching acting classes of twenty.

SPEAKER_00 1:08:45

Are you doing it as a ghostwriter for Marcel Marceau?

SPEAKER_03 1:08:48

I am not doing that as a ghostwriter. This will have almost nothing to do with uh mime. Shocking. Uh but no, I I uh I'll I'll I'll maybe I'll talk about this on one of our episodes, but I don't know. It's a little bit lengthy. Trevor Burrus, Jr.

SPEAKER_00 1:09:00

I think I used this line when uh Steve Martin was on either Mike Michael Douglas or Merv Griffin show autobiography. So I hear you're writing an auto autobiography. It was obviously set up. Yeah. And interviewer asked Steve Martin, so I hear you're writing an autobiography. He goes, No, no, no. I know nothing about cars. That's so Steve Martin. My favorite line.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:18

That is classic classic.

SPEAKER_00 1:09:21

No no. Anyway.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:23

Wait, we were saying something else. Uh war. War expert. No, oh, we'll get better. No, we won't get any better. Do you remember the first time we were going to do a podcast? Do you remember how petrified you were?

SPEAKER_00 1:09:32

I was.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:32

And I told you, what did I tell you?

SPEAKER_00 1:09:36

You are correct, you should be petrified because your voice sounds like what's different than an angel? What's the other spectrum of an angel? That's what your voice sounds like. Trevor Burrus, Jr.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:45

And angels. Trevor Burrus, Jr.

SPEAKER_00 1:09:46

You think you're funny. No one thinks you're funny. Aaron Ross Powell with throat cancer. Trevor Burrus I think your words were you are pathetic as a person as a personality, you are pathetic. So yes, you will you will relate to the audience.
