Speaker 3 (02:17):
All your You know, there's people in the Inland Empire
that still living covered wagons and are hitched up to
hitching posts. So some of the people that live in
those track tips.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Got to give them that heads up so they can
start the drill.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
So that's why the longer heads up, as you said that,
the pre advanced notice.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Yes, and we will pack in the prizes. You know,
we started our first tour stop in El Segundo a
week ago by talking about Dodger tickets and to night
getaway to Las Vegas as the giveaways, and that ended
up turning into a fifty five inch westing House TV
and a host of other prizes, a bunch of Dodger tickets.
(02:59):
So certainly we got over two weeks before we got
to figure this thing out, so we got plenty of
time to pack the price you sand people.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Oh, we're gonna pack it where the real prize packers.
Everybody knows. It's not the only thing we we back.
We did fight back either.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Brother.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
All right, it's time of the word of the day
to continue our theme.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
His words, the word of the day.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Of the local Western Baseball Report, Matt, the Rockies and
Dodgers go at it tonight. But did you know that
for the grabbing hands and you were just talking about
giving away prizes, Matt, Nothing nothing gets the hands grabbing
like free t shirts, free yeah, free hat, free food,
(03:47):
free tickets, free TV. Tomorrow night is in course Fields
Rockies Cowboy Hat night. You get a Southwest Airline sponsored
cowboy hat with the c R on the front. And
(04:09):
just in case you were wondering, with all due respect
to Kyle Carrow's whether or not the Rockies are a
poverty franchise, gene have any hats they have to give out.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
I'm gonna go twenty thousand.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
The first ten thousand fans ow get the Rockies cowboy hat.
And that's tomorrow night. So don't be surprised if you're
watching the Dodger game, Matt from Slowtown or wherever, and
everybody's wearing a cowboy hat looking like Kid Rock.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Okay, so I want to get my eyes. Have you
looked at the Kid the hat yet? Uh? Huh? Is
it like a straight, like pressed straw kind of hat.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Oh, it's like a real cheek. It's like a cheesy
cowboy hat that you would buy like at the like
the ones the Hot Hicks wear. Kind of like that.
That's a slut. W'd you get a hustler casino?
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Yeah, I'm kind of like that. And then yesterday to
keep up with.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
The next one theme package. By the way, I do
want to point out because some people could push back
on the Dodgers and say, whoa, you know you got
to you got to buy the ticket package and there's
only ten thousand of those. That's like a giveaway, like
a first ten thousand people they're going to get this. Yeah,
Southwest is printed on the side of that hat.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Yesterday, Matt the Padres gave away a pretty sweet Fernando
Tatist bobblehead and the pastel I'm on the Border of
Tijuana uniforms and it has a spinning bat, you know,
like the bat spins like a bobble bat, like the
(05:43):
flipping the bat and it's spinning.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Oh he's not even a bobble it spins.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
No, it spins like a like a helicopter or a propeller,
and like you know, it's like you just let go
of the bat. Not the bobbling wrist of Kirk Gibson
would was a little suggestive masturbatory. Yes, yes, it was
masturbratorium d.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
That's what you were suggesting.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
That's what I'm that's what was in it. That was
the suggestive nature of it. Yes, And for the grabbing
hands and will grab all they can with the spinning bat.
How many do you think they gave away last night
at pet Co?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
I'll go twenty thousand again forty look at that way
to go Padres forty thousand.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
That's pretty neat. Now, isn't an O TWI bobblehead where
everybody gets one and there's some easter eggs? No? But
pretty good. Uh, there's some local team bobblehead and giveaway
news stand out amazed when you see the cowboy hats
at Course Field when you're watching the Dodger game tomorrow night?
(06:47):
What's the giveaway tonight? Dryers the opener? That's all we got?
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Yeah, I'm looking at their promotional schedule. Pee that's kind
of standard fair for the Rockies. It's ten and fifteen thousand.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Yeah, well, you know how you got to think it's not.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
How many people are coming to the games. That's you
know what I mean. So there's that it's like we
don't want a bunch of leftovers.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Yeah, we got an extra ten thousand stupid ass hats
and we have nothing.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
So now that I think of it, I bet there
are children and got awful and the people that are
coming were probably fans of the other team that's coming
in town, Dodger fans. Yeah, they don't want to wear
that dumb cowboy hat. Yeah, Southwest Airline. See, that's why
we talk these things out.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
I can't imagine any self respecting cowboy would want it either.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
No, no, no, that that cow is gonna laugh at you.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
You're gay? Why am I gay?
Speaker 2 (07:44):
You are? Gee? Who said I guess I'm gay? You
are gay? Why are you gay?
Speaker 3 (07:50):
All right? Here's my number, the number of the day.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Uh number the day is one. A full page. God
bless kt LA when it comes to the news turns
out and I've been meaning to kind of do this
as a number for a while. Today I decided to
do it because I clicked on the story. I normally
don't click on one of the stories under this tab,
(08:14):
but today I did because it's a place that you
and I have thought about visiting repeatedly when we have
called games up in Santa Clara. Great America, Oh.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Great America, one of the one of the most miserable. Sad.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
It is a sad looking theme park in the middle
of a parking lot in Santa Clara, surrounded by office.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
I've been staring at Great America since I was doing
games up at Stanford and you know, way back in
the early two thousands.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
It may close after twenty twenty seven, but that is
not the number of the day, the number of the day.
KTLA dot com has got an entire section dedicated to
theme park news. So if you go to the straight KTLA, right,
you've got your top stories, your most popular stories, California news,
(09:06):
consumer news, and the entertainment news, California politics. And then
right next to that bang theme parks, Notts, Marx Milestone
in Mana Zuma's reimagining. Oh, I'm giving you the insight right.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Oh my god, that's a huge story, huge story. What's
the latest? Is?
Speaker 2 (09:26):
The latest is they've taken a major step toward reopening
the iconic roller coaster as it continues Enriched Uranium. I
hear Mana Zuma. They moved it the Forbidden Fortress. That
says that the sweet the signature loop has been installed,
so the loop is there. That's one of the news
(09:48):
stories I mentioned the Great America could be closing. You
have DC heroes villains bring action to six Flags this
summer out there in Valencia, and you can click more
theme news and find out that Jason is going to
make an appearance into Hollywood Horror Nights at Universal Studios
and all of the things that you come to desire
(10:11):
in your theme parks here in southern California, one of
the theme park capitals of the world. Like a man
suing Disney over water slides exhilarating.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Speeds the old Splash Mountain.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
There's that as well. Blizzard Beach water Parks. Man was hurt.
Eugene Strickland weighs three hundred and thirty four pounds, exceeded
the slide's weight limit of three hundred. Hey, fatty, you
three hundred are under all right? Go on now. He
(10:43):
became airborne and hit exhilarating speeds and forcefully landed onto
the hard plastic side injuries. He accused Disney of negligence
and made to and failing to maintain safe premises and
argue that they were responsible to fix the water slide's
(11:04):
dangerous conditions. He wants fifty grand. Those are the sort
of stories you het you three hundred pounds.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Yeah, well, I'm worried about Great America. We would stay
I remember when I played it, s see, we would
play against Stanford and we would stay at that Spanish
style Marriott across from Great America, right in the park
and stare at the amusement park, you know, waiting for
a night game.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Oh you start, and then I get on Colossus. I'll
make out with a chick so hard.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Yeah, well we just it wasn't really on my mind
in that way.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
It was just.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Like where it is, there's an amusement park. We're never
going to.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Going to get a true roll. Oh bring her back
to this wa Wait, I'm gonna share a funnel cake
with a local latina from Gilroy. Hell yeah, n in
my roommate to beat it for an hour long. This
song of the Day.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
A mile High in Denver is our song of the
Day from the late great King of the Island Escapism
Lifestyle Jimmy Buffett. Because the Petros and Money Show is
on with an abbreviated radio program with two and a
half hours of great sports talk on a flex alert
where we will escape into Dodger Baseball in the mile
(12:26):
high city of Denver for three games with the Colorado
Rockies at cors Field. That'll start with Tim Cats and
your Morongo Casino Dodgers on Deck show that'll be ready
to go at four point thirty.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Thank you, right one of them.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
What are we going to talk about?
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Max matt Collection of Stories. Baseball seasons arrived, NBA's done,
and you know in NFL training camps are out for
the next three weeks. Hockey over because we talked so
much Hockey Matt's Collection of Story. Yes, there is an
interesting detail about a particularly moth to light like public
(13:08):
figure who says he may be changing his ways. Mark
up to you to decide whether or not you believe it.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Mark Jacob's Like fashion collection, Carl Lagerfeld collection, Matt Smith
on the Catwalk next.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
We've made it even easier to take LA Sports with
you this summer. Make AM five to seventy or your
favorite AM five seventy LA Sports podcast, a preset on
the iHeartRadio app, using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Road Trip all summer with LA Sports.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Just send money on this to ed Mono. Tuesday, Tired
of the Lies Tuesday, we got a September's taproom event
in Rancho Koop, the second stop of the twelfth annual
Petros Monday Summer Tours Friday, July eleventh, from three to six.
We discussed it at length in the first segment, necessary conversation.
Even if you don't like it, we've got to hash
(14:05):
it out on the air. This is how we figure
out what to do. That's how we got our fishing
FEMA Nelson Gundell, So don't forget that before you.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Critics, exactly right, And it took us a couple iterations
from there.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
It took us a little while. It's time for the
top story, and we had to fight for it. It's
time for the top story. Top story of it.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Well, similar to the fliptops p as, the uh as,
the baseball season, and the baseball season alone is upon us.
NBA champions had their parade earlier today in Oklahoma City.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
You know, they painted up those they painted up those
buses before they even won.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Man, they knew what was gonna happen. They were convinced
they had it all figured out. People. By the way
I get it, we took on the rams and their parade,
but that's because it was here and we're a local
show and we're talking about a local parade. But the
amount of like incoming thunder took for how many people
were at their parade versus who would look your favorite
(15:06):
team wins a title. Do you want to go to
a parade and see your favorite players for thirty seconds
and a double decker bus as they drive by, and
then make your way into some common space where they do.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Everybody was flooded in Philadelphia. Somebody got shot in Kansas City.
Perhaps that could have something to do with it.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
It's one hundred degrees, it's a tuesday. People got to work.
Cut them some slack now. People don't want to go
out to the parade and they just want to watch
it on the TV, drink a beer inside an air
conditioned pub. So be it not that big of a deal?
Where was I oh? Collection of stories? If you missed
the flip top story earlier, make sure you download the
podcast Petro some Money on demand through the iHeart radio apps.
(15:46):
So similarly, pe a trio of stories that jumped out
at me as was prepping for the show looking for
one dominant theme. Couldn't quite find it first one probably
get through this pretty quick. But Front Office Sports at
FOS is where you get that. On the Twitter posted
what looks to be the first bit of coverage teams
(16:12):
Amazon and NBC. As you have NBA is back on NBC,
and NBA has made their way over to Amazon Prime
instead of on Turner and here is your lineup. I
don't know a couple of the people, or at least
one of the people, so forgive me female. I'm assuming
I think she looks kind of like a It's not McNutt,
(16:33):
Reconda Parker, not nope, no, no, this is someone I
don't reckon. My apologies, but I do recognize kandas Parker.
She's on Amazon Prime with Steve Nashka, with Donnas Haslam,
high energy nash right. Just get Lebron on there. He
can be his Echoach Dwayne Wade, captain of I'm aware
(16:53):
of Blazer with no shirt, and I would assume for
comedic relief Blake Griffin. He's going to do like the
Jimmy Kimmel used to do on the Football Sunday Morning.
He's gonna do. He's gonna do the comedy, the comedy
bit Dirk Nowitzky, which I'm excited about. I like Dirk's personality.
Stan Van Gundy gonna be over there on Amazon Prime,
and a female that I do not recognize. NBA on
(17:19):
NBC will have our friend Noah Egan. I don't know.
I don't know. It's not on there. They just have
pictures of all these people, and I know of the
eighteen people, I know seventeen of them. I don't know her. No,
No Eagle, Mike to Rico on the play by play.
Amazon did not post any play by play people. So
I heard Kevin Harlan's gotta be making his way over there.
(17:39):
I would assume that'll be the case. But Noah Eagle
and Mike to Rico. You got Reggie Miller, you got
Carmelo Anthony, who I don't believe I've seen on TV yet.
Has he done the guest appearance on TNT with Charles
Barkley and Can I've.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Never seen him, but I'm sure he has.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
He wears stylishly tinted glasses, be a light shade of brown,
a rose shade.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Usually coordinated with the outfit he's wearing and the motif
of where he is right.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
So that's what you have to look forward to with Carmelo.
Vince Carter, who's been doing some media. We've seen that
on NBA TV and I think maybe TNT had him
on for a little while there, so he'll be there.
Maria Taylor, who does football Sunday Night Football for NBC.
Grant Hill will be part of that broadcast, and of
course he's.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Done ruining the NCAA tournament or he's going to do both.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
I think he'll probably do both.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Okay, thank you.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
I think I think Grant Hill with our friend Iron
Eagle on Attorney with Bill Raftery, and I feel like
it's it's just the three of them. I think it's
three of them. And then of course Michael Jordan signed
to be some sort of contributor. They had the I
was eating out with the with the family last night
and they had the last dance was playing in the bar.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Yeah, because nothing's on anymore. So ESPN played the last dance.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
You forget how yellow the whites of Michael Jordan's eyes
were in that documentary.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Yes, he had the high with the yellow eye. As
the class said.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Yes, so there are your new broadcast team says the
Vinta has new partners.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
I cannot wait to hear from Carmelo Anthony and Steve.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Back Yes one on each Steve Nash Amazon Prime, Carmelo
Anthony on NBC. And my apologies to the female whom
I do not know. Second story here's the quote. I
don't like giving pub to the segment, but I guess
I don't really mind because we do it seemingly every week,
(19:39):
and it's one of the reasons why Pat McAfee got
the traction that he did. If he did not have
the Aaron Rodgers Tuesday appearances, I don't know if he
is in the position he is in.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
You reference that quite often, Matt.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Yeah, he was navigating his exit from Green Bay. It
was must watch TV for all of the sports nation
to figure out if anything would be revealed, and that
put McAfee on the map. And now he's making like
forty million bucks a year. Congratulations to him. Today he
mentioned the big news was the I'm going to be
done after this year. I think I'm only gonna do
(20:14):
one year. But this was the key to me. He said,
when he's done, he's done. Quote. When this is all done,
it's kaiser So say, you will not see me. I
will not be in the public I will not live
a public life. That is why it's so strange what's
going on right now in my private life, because I
don't want to live a life in the public eye.
(20:35):
I'm not going to be in the public eye. When
this is done, I'm done.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Didn't he try to go on Jeopardy? Yeah, the host
of Jeopardy. I wouldn't. I couldn't see Kaiser Sosa doing that.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
No, he he campaigned to be the next host of
Jeopardy ahead of Ken Jennings.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
And to at least two really famous women three that
he's dated, Woodley Patrick and mon.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Right, Olivia, Danica Patrick, Shalan Woodley. That immediately puts you
in the public eye, celebrity couple. He's done all the
endorsements that were taken away after his rants on Joe Rogan,
So he certainly has no problem putting his name on
State farm insurance and other products out there. And on
top of that, he wanted to run with RFK as
(21:22):
his vice president. A life literally serving the public, which
makes you a public figure as a public servant vice president. Yeah,
it's just those were the things he's toyed with the
last three years.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Perhaps he's had a change of heart and now.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
He wante just go away now that he's married.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Now he wants to be Kayser Sosse, who I believe
was was. There was a legend that Kaiser SoSE shot
his whole family to.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Death right because of the rape and the.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Well they were used. They were Yeah, they were tainted.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Yeah, I mean verbal cant man, so good because.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
You're weak verbal because you're a loser.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
So good luck to Aaron chasing that down. Considering he
still appears on Pat McAfee every Tuesday, I mean to
get his forty minutes and I'm sure does not ignore
all of the follow up regarding what he said from
the rest of the meeting.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
I often say, you know that, Hey, I'd like to
do this and just go away, and I mean it,
you know, I mean it, but I don't think it
would work. And I'm more reclusive than most people that
you don't have to go on air and do that
kind of stuff or this kind of stuff. But you know,
you think about it and it's romantic, and then after
(22:46):
ten days you want to kill yourself.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Oh yeah, I gotta work. I gotta get out there.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Somebody's got to hear what I have to say about
this us S recruited class.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
God parrot, I gotta do something. Yeah. I was talking
to somebody who said they were retiring next year. They're
in the medical profession, and it's like, really, why it
doesn't seem like you work a lot right now, And
she was like, yeah, I just you know, it's gonna
go home and hang out like that's it. Yeah, you
just want to hang out at home pretty much. Just
(23:16):
wake out. Brad got one leg?
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Where is it gonna go?
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Finally, be real quick, interesting little bit of nuts and
bolts in the NFL. You know what the the Cleveland
Browns did with when they traded for Deshaun Watson. They
gave him a completely guaranteed contract. It has easily been
the worst contract in the history of the NFL. He
will not play this year because of a torn achilles.
He has barely played since being traded to the Browns,
(23:43):
and when he has played, he has been absolutely terrible.
Contract was a bad idea in the first place. It's
how they convinced him to come to Cleveland instead of
taking a trade to the Saints or the Dolphins or
some other team that was after him that he would
have rather gone to. But it was the guaranteed money
that got him to agree to the trade for to
the Browns from the Texans. Those same Texans have also
(24:04):
kind of upset the Apple card, if you will. They
gave their second round pick Jayden Higgins, the receiver out
of Iowa State, a fully guaranteed contract in the second round.
It is the first time that's ever been done. They
are slotted, so the amount of money that each draft
team makes is slotted. It is not negotiable. That is
how much you will make total if you play on
all four years of your second, third, fourth, fifth, six,
(24:27):
or seventh round selection. Every unless they adjust for inflation,
every sixty sixth pick gets paid the exact same one
hundred and fiftieth pick, and on and on. But they
decided to give the thirty third pick the first ever
one hundred percent fully guaranteed second round contract of eleven
point seven million dollars. They were backed by the Cleveland
(24:48):
Browns again who did it with Deshaun Watson by giving
Captain America as you'd like to call him, Carson Sweeshinger. Also,
they were the first pick, they were the thirty second.
He was the thirty third pick. Jadan Higgins was the
thirty fourth. They also gave him a one hundred percent
guaranteed contract. And now no other picks in the in
the second round of sign and it is leading to
(25:10):
a lot of consternation and stress. Oh, Miami started.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
Getting sued by Wisconsin. The two nil collectives going after
each other. Matt, it's a new world for the second.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Rounders, exactly right. They're all holding out, every single one
of them except the two that got the fully guaranteed
deals and I think the sixty sixth pick in the draft.
The Chiefs ended up doing a deal earlier, so they
were fine there before the guaranteed contracts came out the
rest of the second rounders are waiting to see how
the guarantees will play out, probably starting with the thirty
(25:42):
fifth pick right behind Jayden Higgins, and whether or not
that particular player is going to get ninety five percent
guarantee or I don't know how that whole thing's going
to shake out. But a bit of a mess out
there when it comes to negotiating these contracts. Thirty holdouts
right now.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Good luck NFL teams. They're all broke. They don't have
any money to pay these players.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
That's the problem. Where am I going to get this money?
Speaker 3 (26:04):
Where am I going to find the cash? Well, isn't

In Elsigunda, there's a famous gin called a mass I
don't know if it's served at the Septembers, but they
do have a lot of great beers and fabulous Dodger
themed food and drinks, especially the Dodger Rita. All right,
it is time for your dead guy Birthday of the Day. Now.
I had heard of this guy, Matt, but I didn't
(28:25):
know how interesting the story was. Ambrose beers b i
e rcee, but pronounced beers I would have been a
one hundred and seventy three years old today. He was
a soldier and a journalist and a short story writer
and a columnist. Born in a log cabin in Horse
(28:45):
Cave Creek, Ohio, the tenth of thirteen children, all named
with the letter A, a poor but literary family.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
He was at seemed like you start running out of
names if you got thirteen a's.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
Yeah, but they found I mean Ambrose. You know you're
digging deep. He was at the Kentucky Military Institute for
a very short time and then it burned down, and
then the Civil War broke out, so he enlisted in
the Union's ninth Indiana Infantry and he saw battle, specifically
(29:19):
Shiloh Chickamaugua Cannesaw Mountain, where he sustained a brain injury
and missed the rest of the war. He was known
heavily for his journalistic abilities. He went out to San
Francisco and started working for William Randolph Hearst, and he
(29:40):
got after. People got after. McKinley talked about his assassination
in a very cavalier way. Some said many people were upset.
It was a problem for Willie Hurst, but he was
so popular, got involved in a big railroad strike, stuff
like that. But he's very notable for his short story.
He's about his first hand experiences in the Civil War.
(30:04):
On occurrence at owl Creek Bridge is a very famous
short story, yeah, about a Confederate trying to escape Union
soldiers in the swamp with a trick ending, which Beerce
was known for trick endings, a bias toward naturalism, fighting
social commentary, and like that story, the Alk Creek Bridge story,
(30:30):
experimental methods which were not very used at the time.
Made him a very important, though not a novelist, a
very very important American literary figure. He had three kids
of his own. One of his sons died of alcoholism,
the other one shot a chick and then himself he died.
(30:52):
She didn't. After divorcing his wife in nineteen thirteen. We
divorced his wife before that. But in nineteen thirteen he
went to Mexico, which was in the throes of revolution,
and he was reported to have hooked up with Pancho
Villa and rolled with him all the way to Chihuahua
(31:13):
and Yeah, and observed them and then vanished. Nobody knows
what happened to him. There are many theories. One is
that he made his way to the Grand Canyon and
killed himself. One is that he was executed in Huertista.
His last letter, Ambrose Bierce wrote this to his friend Goodbye.
(31:39):
If you hear of me being stood up against a
Mexican stone wall and shot to rags, please know that
I think it's a pretty good way to depart this life.
It beats old age disease or falling down the cellar
stairs to be a gringo in Mexico. Ah, that is euthanasia.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Okay, technically he could be our live guy. Well, I
mean no, no, you know, technically no, you're the oldest
human in the history of the world.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
But it is true that nobody knows exactly how he died.
Sounds like he got shot up against the stone wall,
or at least tried to shot the rags. Exactly beautiful.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Well, you're a live guy, one of our favorites. P
What you're reading in there plain geometry?
Speaker 3 (32:39):
Are the college boy or something?
