Welcome back to the Monster's Morning. We're ready on 1-4.1. This is my best reliance along with flying Ryan Holmes. He's so fast. Yeah. Aiming the counselors here with us. Hello, Amy. How you doing? Good. What's happening? You guys are having a race? Oh, well, I'll tell you all about it. We got all kinds of counseling questions to talk to you about.
Oh boy. So glad you're here. But Angel now is going to bring you monster sports. Monster sports brought to you by Mark Spain Real Estate, that's Mark Spain Real Estate. Man, if you're looking to buy our cello house, definitely jump on their website and check that out. And if you're looking for employment, they are hiring. So again, visit the website and again, thank you, Mark Spain, for jumping on to the monster sports. Let's start with. Hold on a second. Russ, we had a here on a local level. We had Orlando City. Orlando City was on the road. And it's always fascinating when they, when we have these matchups. And again, with the acquisition of grease, been, you know, and the way that the team is kind of jealous. It's been really fun to watch. And this is one of his, this was his first goal last night. Here's your C. Works in ahead. Sure. Bay with his service. And there's your time. Go. Guess who? Antoine Greensman, the level for Orlando City. It's a one one game. So they got the level goal, Russ.
And then that's just the beginning of the festivities or the fireworks as it goes 70. It goes full time. And Orlando City ends up winning a three to two. Okay. Again, that's a huge victory in the sense of getting the three points on the road. You know, and that puts us now. And just a few weeks ago, we were hanging around 9th or 10th position in the Eastern Conference. And the last few wins and you know, get there, acquisition, getting a point even with the tie. Yeah. Orlando City has moved up to a sixth in the Eastern Conference of the MLS. So again, the momentum is starting to build there and they're playing really good ball. And definitely keep an eye out for them. And then we're in our next matches this Saturday. I want to say, yeah, we went up three to two and then our matches this Saturday going up here at home. And we're going up against Toronto. Toronto. September the 12th. At intern co-stative. Those were the tickets that we were giving away.
Yeah. Okay. So that's a good one. That's a good one. It's a good one. It's a good one. Awesome. I saw that. Yeah. And, uh, man, uh, a tale of two halves almost. There's one would say. Uh, but. Oh, that's your team. The Patriots. Patriots are on the road. The Super Bowl. You know, defending champs as we run through the Super Bowl. Yep. Yep. We actually did better than in the Super Bowl this time. Did you? I mean, we were up for three halves, right? Yeah. Three quarters. Yeah. And then Seattle Seahawks come storming back and win 13 to 10 rush. Uh, last play, man. Drake made through three interceptions. Looking rough. Drew Locke had to step in for the Seahawks because their quarterback went down with a hip injury. Yeah. But all indications are he's going to be all right. The prognosis from the first scans of that. Ryan, how much of the game did you watch? Uh, I watched exactly zero of the game.
I just saw this morning that, you know, they had on NBC the, uh, the game they talked about how close it was and it was a nail bite. And then they showed the last play. And, um, and, uh, yeah, he's the interception. That's, uh, it's not the look that you want it from your quarterback. You know, you don't ever want on the game one. The one thing that you don't want him to do is exhibit a lack of patience and throw three interceptions. But I mean, like, it is. It is. You didn't bet on him, did you? I didn't bet on him. Okay. Uh, I didn't bet against him, which I wanted to do. Um, but look, we're facing the Super Bowl champs from last year that we did very bad in the Super Bowl. Very, very bad. So to play the same team and that come out with a, with a reasonable score, it feels good. I'm not going to lie to you. It feels like we're going to Super Bowl again. Really? Let's go. You know, that's all that really interesting take from watching your, your team kind of. That's the bad last night in the sense that they had control of the game. They were potentially, I mean, they had the victory in hand.
You had the second string quarterback for Seattle in you had knocked out their starter. Yeah, that's what we do. Right. Knock out your starters and then we go and then just like Sylvester Stallone, baby, we're punchy and we like to ask the bed. Uh, I see a pattern here. That's what we're talking about. I'm going to talk to Amy. You can look that one. I'm going to talk to Amy about the words delusional. Okay. Okay. I'm going to talk to Amy about the words delusional. I'm going to talk to Amy about the words delusional. Okay. I'm going to talk to Amy about the words delusional. Okay. I'm going to talk to Amy about the words delusional. Okay. Now because of it being NFL started on Wednesday, yesterday. Yesterday. Yeah. And then today we get a game and here's what's fascinating about this game. Yeah. It's one of those things where it like the games. If you're at the game, you're watching the game on Sunday and on Friday. On Friday. And if you're but here, we're watching the game. We're going to be watching it today. Thursday. Time travel. Yeah. Yeah. So we can peer into the future to watch this game. And we're talking about the 49ers versus Rams.
And that's going to be tonight at 835. Yeah. So two teams from California flew all the way to Australia. You got the you got the the the so there's two theories being tested here. I don't was trying to try to explain all week. San Francisco 49ers have been in Australia for a week. Right. The chargers basically got there yesterday. So yeah, they're trying to get they thought let's get acclimated to the time. 49ers in 49ers and then they're like, let's just fly in. And we don't have time to have, you know, uh, yeah, we're just gonna run right through it. Yeah. It's crazy. Like a local time the football game starts at 10 30 in the morning. Local time. Yeah. So again, so there's a lot, you know. Yeah. Now let me ask you guys this in regards to and it might not affect you since it's, you know, neither one of your teams. You're a fan of those teams. How do you feel about like this is these are important games and like just, you know, messing around. But like, you know, New England Patriots, uh, the Seattle Seahawks quarterback went down. You're receiving the Patriots receiver went down with an ankle injury.
Like games in the NFL are important, especially if you're a good team. This is a really big matchup and you kind of just gave it away to Australia. Yeah. Does that like it doesn't it doesn't bother us because it's not what it's not our team, right? I will say for me, this is me, I want to see the NFL become a global worldwide brand. Uh, so I kind of like the other country CTE. No, no, no, no, the players are going to get where they're going to get. I'm just, I'm just, I just, I like the game of football and I'd like to see the rest of the world dig it as well. Um, never have. I think they'll keep trying and trying for sure. What does that mean? I mean, they have the same numbers are there. There hasn't been one of these that's been poorly attended. They've all been very successful. They've all been, I think it's like a novelty right now. You know what I mean? Like, uh, I just, I feel that way with the fever for the type of game isn't the same, especially like Australia. I think specifically views it as a lesser game than the way they play it. That okay.
Of course that is. I know, I can't, I don't know where you were. That's coming from in the sense of that that would be the case. Then why, why is it so crazy attended? And there's like a fever for the, like the Aussies are excited about it. It's a circus comes to town. You want to see the big American circus. But then at that point, that's a success then. I mean, if you saw, if it's a circus and you sold out every ticket, yeah, because in London, they've had never had as long as it. And they've been doing it for a while. And the game is sold out. Like they're digging. They're not the reception that they get in Germany. Yeah. Mexico City. Again, it's a, it's a fun novelty. But until there's like a team from around the world, there's, there's no dog in the fight really. I don't know. The, the leagues plan on developing or adding more teams, especially international teams. But this is the same way, like with Premier League, that Premier League gives us matches. Those matches are well attended here. Even though, and those are, let's say lesser because they're friendlies.
You know, and that's the point that are the question I was asking. These, these regular season games that are so valuable for records. And we're given those away. That should be preseason. Yeah. Whereas Premier League does it differently. And we get those cool matchups, but typically they're friendly. Well, it's when we were games you hold those and held those and only did those for the, because we all scoff at preseason anyway. When did they do all their preseason stuff overseas? Just to give them the trash. I think you could, I think they would know the difference. Yeah. I think here's the other problem. Europeans, Australians, Indians, all these people, they're used to faster games. Our game to them is very slow. And that was the biggest complaint that they, that they have a lot of people had with the world cup. They're like, hey, why are you guys throwing ads into everything? Why the hydration breaks? They're used to the ads on the field. They go about their business fast games. Our game is literally four hours for the most part. And it's, it's stopped. It's so much stoppage time. I just don't, I just think a European mindset, Australian mindset, they're just used to something faster.
I think it's a fun novelty for right now. I don't know if it'll take off. Hasn't the NFL had a European league before? Yeah, it did well. Where did it go? The world, the world football league, we had the Barcelona Dragon. The Dragon. We had the Orlando Thunder. There was, there was a couple, the reason that league, again, like typical any fall football league, the reason it was the demise of it was the management of it. Yeah, I can be speaking, I'm speaking out of my butt. I know that, okay? I don't have any hard fast facts on this. But my, that's my theory of why my other theory of soccer, it would take off more if you, if you change the point system, if you made every goal seven points, people would be like, oh, high school or a game. Yeah, every, every, every, every, every. I, every, every. If you think of football last night, the game was what? 13, what was it? I don't even remember because I'm mad at it. It's 10 to 13, that's literally two points for one team. Yeah, but if someone catches the ball and you get a, you know, and get 20 yards or 30 yards,
it's exciting then. Like there's a lot of things that happen in a football game that are still exciting. It's very exciting. Very exciting. Okay, that is your opinion and I get it and most of the world agrees with you, but just for me Then kicking a ball around the field is born as hell, but you know if they brought up the point value a goal is You know they instead of a tie you'd call it like seven seven and then a goal like every time you get a goal It's 14 point now one person gets sacked in soccer People get sick They can you can tackle your right cards buddy Anyway, so we got like I said we got that match up today and then we're gonna have a full slate of college and and I fell this weekend And that's not your sport trust. Hey today just say no USA the cuz I love the women's basketball I'm following it. I love it today at 5 30 its USA versus hungry This is the second round of think oh, what was this called like the preliminary or the quarter final for team USA So we've won all three of our games so far and today you go against hungry our hunger We already beat hungry. No, yeah, no they're playing them today
Team USA rolls into semi-final with dominant 50 to 52 point win over hungry. I was gonna use that as monster sports when they play they already played They're gonna play the winner of Italy or No, we beat we beat Italy or I'm sorry who who's in the other side of it Spain and somebody else is on the other Australia hungry. Yeah, Australia and Spain is on the other side of the bracket We played the winner of that on Saturday. Yeah, we beat we beat that crap out of hungry 108 to 56 the you you and hungry right now Hona the US versus hungry women's world cup quarter final starts today at 5 30 No, Russ. It's already been yesterday. I travel happen. Yeah, I already it's already there on the side of the world It's already happened. Yeah, so I missed the game that where we got like a bif-tan in situation right now We can go and bet on oh yeah back to the future style Yeah, there's a September So that's the this morning at 5 30. Oh, oh Wow, it was going on this morning. Yes, sir. Yeah, you can watch it during the show

Well, there you go. So I don't have that to watch today Yeah, my man No, I'm glad you told me you know what I It's 5 30 am not yeah, 5 30 Yeah, you would be looking around TV as like a maniac trying to find this game 100% I bet I already told Maryl Hey, there's a game tonight.

Do you do you see me glazed over when you guys are talking about some?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm just curious because a lot of people there are people that are into it some people aren't and I'm curious Is there a pit? I'm a team you root for I like watching sports documentaries. Okay, I like 30 for 30 I like to know the the story behind sports and I like the Olympics. Yeah, like ice skating My husband's really into like basketball so I'll sit next to him and pretend to like it. Yeah, yeah So when you when you're watching this sport you like the personal human story I like stories. I like glitter. I like dancing. That's everything. I like Yeah, wrestling. They's like wrestling. You know, I like gymnast. I like a limpic stuff. I like it when there's like a big Title you know, I'll watch the Super Bowl. I'm a fair weather fan sport You know, I've never bought a piece of memorabilia of a team I recently bought some vintage little ice cream hats. Do you remember how you used to get the little vintage? What no you remember you remember like when you go to a baseball game you'd get the little ice cream with the Yeah, plastic ones. So I got a little Pittsburgh one. I thought that was cute because they reminded me of my youth
All right. Yeah, so your pirates from your pirates fan. No, I'm a vintage. I like the nostalgia I like ice cream. I do like the food. I like the food at sports. Okay. Yeah So that's the best line Sports food. That's what I wanted to talk to you about. Okay, so they kind of come to They come down they come down on me because like you know, like we're not a real sports fan Oh, they do all the time and I think I know that they're right though. I know that they're right because I see how they act You know, I see how angel acts and writing and they they really it doesn't matter who's on the team It's like whoever's wearing that logo that I'm a fan of that right and I can't identify with that them Like I like to pull for a particular athlete that I think I admire the story So that athlete went to another team I'd be in this year like the Miami dolphins I decided to root for the Miami dolphins because my nanny my love my nanny She was a big dolphins fan and when she passed away, I said I'm gonna carry it on for her You know, but to be honest with you like this year, you know, I know they're gonna suck And I want to find a team I can root for that's gonna win like
There's no fun to sit there and watch a team lose. Okay, so what does that say about my personality that you Want to go with the winning horse? Yes, and then yeah a front runner and then like so Experience suffering People that are real People that are real fans are gonna be met see so my family are Patriots fans because they're all from Boston Right, so I will go for Patriots even if they've been terrible for so many years And I'm a magic fan because I've lived here my whole life Sure, I don't really care. You don't really care Because I would make okay, so like like I like the guy Josh Allen who's a great quarterback But I guess he's on the bills and I guess if you're a dolphin span and you say you like Josh Allen and everybody gets mad Yeah, because the bills can keep you out of the playoff, but I like the guy's personality I like how I like how hard he plays. I think he's a great athlete like I appreciate his right as an athlete So Amy this is the dilemma right so and this is and you kind of acknowledged it right out though
You said it right out the gate you're like hey, I'm kind of a fair weather fan. Yeah, I like these things I like these other And so that's what Russ has to come to terms with. Yeah, just right out the gate. Just say it. Hey, I'm a fair weather fan Don't give us the song and dance it. I'm a fan of the dolphins because of my nanny band and then not really commit to it That's true Like if they're playing that too I'm rooting for right but you I could look at them angel and I can tell that they might win one game this year. They look terrible Okay, but and then so then when you and then we get into the other Elements of this right because if they were a winner, he would be all about it right so again Yeah, someone like angel doesn't respect that right because we don't you you're gonna be with them in the trenches So you're a fan and then someone comes along and just is there for the winning seasons And again, but like she said hey, I'm a fair weather fan this year Because I love Josh Allen and I know that the dolphins are gonna stink I'm gonna root for the bills. Yeah, yeah, just but but say that don't try to say
Oh, I'm a fan of the dolphins. Well, I Okay, I should say I root for the dolphins. Well, here's what it is. No, you don't first someone like angel and Ryan It's kind of like they're soap opera like this is like really the way that you are about WWE fool However, how you They have nothing else so they really have to like You know what I mean? I'm sorry a lot of boys have nothing else to live for but their sports teams got you and they're in the trenches with that This is a lady won't let us celebrate our birthday You just can't say it's my mood day. That's all you just say There's no fun lady who went out and bought a little ice cream come that look like a Pittsburgh pirates cat You're trying to know fun lady. I have fun I'm not Rush has all the tendencies of an angry middle-aged woman What time I'm angry middle-aged women I'm what happened to no judgment Yeah, I don't expect that's not to return
I'm not even looking forward to the NFL season because they've already been They've already been predicted that they might win one game. They're gonna lose every game It makes every Sunday not fun And that's why I want to I want to look at life is short right like I want to find a fun team to root for Well for the bills go for it the buffalo You know what if I just one thing I know about buffalo bills fans They're gonna accept you with open arms and I got a bunch of friends in her buffalo fans I got two things one thing rest you're going for that heedanistic thing that we talked about you always want to feel good Yes, that's not a great thing Number one two when it comes to the guys I feel like all they had growing up was these sports and it's like their family I don't know it's like a really deep-seated mental thing for that you're talking about like oh, I like to follow a player I don't just follow the logo right logo is important because what I feel is like oh this this group of people was chosen By the logo to represent the logo okay to represent the city the the team So long history and I appreciate you pointing out that point of view. I never looked at it that way
Look at that psychology tools. No, I was serious He did a classic classic russing where he says the one thing You could read right through the lines and totally met that doesn't do it. I totally meant what I just I know I know I never looked at it and you go to his side and then he can't handle it. I know. Oh, okay. All right. We have middle-aged angry women But you know just like Whatever I know I know I'm a bad sports fan sure But to me you like to be in the know like me too like I like to watch a documentary about it So I can like talk about it sometime, but do I care if someone wins or loses ultimately? I don't I could care like I like just to be there like to have a nice time right predictions mean nothing remember Hillary Clinton Angry But my husband gets annoyed by I'm not I'm just not a competitive person either like if we go bowling
I just like to throw the ball a little and I don't care. I don't want to we get into a lot of fights about it I can be okay. I can be competitive about things that I'm really Passionate about but I am sort of like that too. I got Have a nice time. I need to play in half-un unless it's something that's super important to me like when I wrestled that was like super important No, he ever invites me to football parties. No, I never get invited. I know Oh I don't want to come to your party What a come If you're chitchatting during the game The game Amy how does that make you feel I left out I guess Yeah, I don't really care. It's what I have my own friends will go have our little ice cream party by ourselves So bad So you guys are too kindred souls here. Oh my god Look at how this is blossoming right in front of our eyes I do like pulling for athlete like I love pulling for Caitlin Clark like you know So I'm if she went to another team I love pulling for Caitlin Clark
Whoa don't get creepy. Hey, that's it is because already creepy. No, it's not yeah But so I like pulling for particular athletes right yeah, yeah, and so I mean it's like you have the story behind that person Yes, there's something that look what do you like about her? I like the fact that she was playing she was playing against the boys when she was like a kid right killing all the boys And She's got a lot of drive and I like the way she treats us out. I love how this okay This is the little thing that you guys are I do it right here. I love how this is playing out Oh, I love the stories. Oh, I love this and that makes me a better fan again I love it's the implication it's the implication it's right there in front of us I'm a better fan because I like Caitlin Clark and I like Clayton Caitlin Clark story I'm a fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers and I could tell you about every single player on there To support your people No, no, no, I do not I do not want you to be a casual stealer fan. I want you to be vested. I wanted to I wanted you to feel something
No, like I'm gonna Super bowl or boss. I'm still gonna give my I'm still gonna give my ice cream money and that's still gonna benefit the team if I'm there Mm-hmm. That's not how that works. So that's so that same sentence yeah So that Russ because he hasn't found a story and there's plenty of good stories for the dolphins My dolphins win particularly with the quarterback looking for the stories But again, but and this is what is what happens if you were to go look for them. I have You have not found one good story about your cubie because it's a dynamic story with your cubie I haven't seen anything yet What what story am I missing with him just again? He came from a small college. There shouldn't have been drafted Ghosted by the green Bay green Bay takes the Packers take a chance on him. He studies under love. He's shows some dot showed some aptitude to the quarterback position last season His three starts he won those He's like like if they protect that kid he could be your future superstar But you're not gonna jump on it until someone else tells you that's your superstar and that's the difference between fandom
Right now is the other time where you the where you get in there and you and you grow with the guy and you learn about You do that and you don't wait till ESPN 30 for 30 tells you oh this guy's a star. Well, I have a shot at both of you I have gone though and I've watched the games that he played and I've seen the things they've had to say about him And hasn't been wonderful and they're not saying this guy is great yet. So you're right I'm just basically I'm just kind of reading the reports from the games that he's played so far all the other back stuff Wait, there's nothing negative about Malik yet He hasn't had any drama everything's been positive. Well, they've lost every game Okay, yeah, the preseason has been has been rough for him. Yeah, he's played And in practice there hasn't been read reviews for him in practice either So I it's not like when Tula was the quarterback there was all this oh my god. This guy's great I gotta do I will defer to you on that regard because again It's not my job to follow the dolphins or or or or there or what's been going on a preseason But what I had heard and from other dolphin fans That's where the excitement was was Malik Willis and what he has done
But again, that's neither here nor there what I'm saying is this is the part with a portion of irrational fandom This is where that's your guy. That's your QB. That's where you learn all these things to be irrational No, no, I am no I think I can acknowledge this I am telling you I told you from day one years ago We started doing this I am the irrational fan when it comes to the Pittsburgh Steelers the Orlando Magic The So So what you guys are saying is I'm good and then and Amy I'm gonna So to be a good fan you have to be irrational No, no Is that what they said? I'd rather die kind of situation that writer dies a nice way a better way to put it You gotta be right or die Yeah, you guys are awesome everybody else sucks and you see somebody from an opposing tribe you yelled in their face See I can't do that for some reason I think it's pushing away people that could come have a nice time is what I think And where they're little hats
Men will met big fans will bring a lady and have a nice time you don't want the ladies there You know what any like They're never there to watch football Get it Oh man All the police happening there's a lot of downtime for the About a staircut I want to talk about They try to make me feel bad for not being an irrational fan but I just can't fake it You can't see that I think that's okay and like you want to be a part of it You want to go to the football game or the sports game you'd like to be there I told them though like in the very beginning I said hey you want to go be a Buffalo Bills fan do it Yeah, just but just stand 10 toes down and say hey the reason I'm on a Buffalo Bills fan this year is cuz the dolphins stink And I want to be with them. Yeah, that's it nine white toes and one black toe down Oh I got one black toe
Broke a toast and now we call him captain black. No, I do. Yeah, I broke a toe Last weekend all right We're gonna take a break. We got Amy the counselor here. I have more personal questions to ask you And you can you can decide fights that we've had for years Amongst the three of us when we come back don't go anywhere. You're listening to the matchers morning What about the monsters morning's we're already a 104.1. I am Russ Rollins along with angel Rivera Ryan Holmes and Amy the counselors here with us today Amy where are you gonna be? You ever show this Sunday. I do this Sunday at Savoy. It's a fringe outfest It's a all the benefit the center the for the LGBTQIA. Yeah, very nice Okay, I got a bunch of what ever you're in I always got I got a bunch of stuff I don't see Ryan being delusional. What do we got that? I got the artist saying no I've got given hard conversation but let me since we got a little bit of time. I'm gonna ask you about this Okay, there's a there's a new story out you guys May or may not have seen this this is a former lawyer
Okay, who pulls a gun on his ex-wife in a restaurant. Have you seen this yet? Yes, yes, in Ohio and he and he's a big guy. I mean, this is there's a big dude former attorney he goes to it walks in the restaurant. It's all in video walks in the restaurant Goes to shooter but the safety is on the gun So it doesn't go off or whatever and there is a waiter that's behind him and Tackles him and basically saves the day And every time I and this is the personal weirdo part I want to ask you about with me whenever I see these the story like that I don't know if the feeling is jealous or whatever I get a little jealous I'm like I wish I wasn't that spot. That's the spot I would want to be And I'm like I wish I could have saved the day like that and have it on the uh have it on video But then I go do you think you really would do it? Right the guy had a gun in his hand. What would you have done? Yeah, what I have done Yeah, I really hope and Think that I'm the kind of guy that would tackle this big dude and be the superhero be Batman and save the day
But I don't know for sure like like how do you know if you in the situation? You really could do that would you be able to have you ever done anything like that and been in that situation? Like I've never had the opportunity. I'm looking for it though I'm search for I would love to run says how a lot of guys trying to do the right thing I've gotten themselves in trouble so don't what do you mean? In that mentality. I'm looking to do this. I'm looking for this kind of scenario You can't look for that. Yeah, that if it happens and god, you know and you're in the right place of the right time to do the right thing Well, when you first came on the show you did it one time in downtown Orlando. Okay, but good But I and that this is the perfect example. Yeah, the difference between what the the terminology is And the energy and what I'm talking about is the energy and the things that you draw right you just said that you're looking for that Yeah, you don't ever want to look for a situation that could put your life in peril this gentleman had a gun right when I want when what happened to me downtown Orlando again I was working downtown Orlando. I was aware of my surroundings
I knew what was going on and I walked up onto a street fight And as a street and the street fight where these guys were they were just hurting each other. Yeah, now and you saved the day as I separated And I did all that I again maintained my my my self awareness. I kept my distance as best I couldn't everything But I never put myself in arms way, you know now that so that I guess it's just the terminology and the phrasing of it I'm saying is because that kind of energy That's a The guy that did it the waiter and they they said well, you know, you're a hero He's like I don't look at like that like I look at it like I could I could I got shot like I'm not I don't want to be called a hero That's thing that dude could decide and and he's like listen. I don't look at being a hero I did what I thought I had to do at the time, but I'm not really celebrating it I'm like dude you should be spiking the football you just you just saved the day you're a damn hero Nationwide, yeah, that's different perspective. Have you seen it yet? Yeah. Yeah. Oh my gosh Have you seen it yet? No, Ryan had it up here maybe you pulled up again. I think what you have
I'm gonna just make this up on the spot is you have like Batman syndrome. Yes, or spider-man syndrome. No, no Batman Looking for to be a vigilante. Yeah. Yeah Oh, buddy vigilante You want that right but in the situation would you really do it? You know and if you wanted that you probably would have gone into a career like being a police officer You know, I want that's what I wanted to do after after high school and then I went on one ride right with Lane Norman who was a great guy who's passed away, but he was an officer that was really close with our family And so I'm super I wanted to be a police officer until I rode with him one time and I'm like oh my god This is real stuff. It's real like you could get killed out here And that's probably why I have this affinity for law enforcement like I wanted to do it and I and my family was very close Like even in that scenario that this guy did it right
Fortunately for him he was able to disarm the guy and handle all that right? Oh, yeah But like you just said you went on this right along and you don't don't you that wow I could lose my life That could that's his mario could have hardly gone wrong Oh, it could have been the wife and a server having that guy in a pop girl like domestic violence things you got to be prepared You got to go in and think knowing you're gonna die possibly that guy in a pop girl Just trying to help what he thought was like a guy abusing his girlfriend and then he gets killed Yeah, that's the case that just recently happened right? Yes. Yeah. Yeah, so like if you go in a situation like this You got to go like I'm going to kill this guy. Yeah, yeah, yes, so you know, you know, you know Diaz Khaled guy with a gun you got to go in there like I was I used to work on the units I used to work on the psych units for a lot of years and I would go to all the state hospitals And all of us that were working there were trained how to deescalate how to do a take down How to roll somebody in a carpet so they don't hurt themselves or somebody else. Oh well That was dude you couldn't roll this guy in a car because he's bigger now. Yeah, he was a big dude But you know, I noticed he wasn't uh They weren't hitting the guy or they were just trying to subdue him, you know, they've kind of holding on to him
Right, that's how you did deescalate so you're not making it worse A guy with a gun that just came into murder. I mean you yeah, instead of you're not gonna shoot at him You're not gonna make it worse. I will I will pick the gun up shoot him right You know, just try to murder somebody. You know, it is already more people So you're the villain. You're always gonna be the villain. You're gonna make it worse. Hey, I'm not Batman. I use guns Right, and you know, his argument was in court because they already went to court He was convicted and everything he said well, I didn't pull the trigger. Well, he didn't pull the trigger because the trigger Oh, it was on safety So he was trying to pull the trigger. He just didn't because there's unsafety and that's an attorney Yeah, an attorney. That's an attorney big big dude too So the fact that this uh this waiter tackled him like that was amazing. I thought it was It just I was like man way to go do this He didn't want any of you. You didn't want any of the attention. He's like I'm not a hero I just did what I thought was right at the time and I could I could have got myself killed I got a hero. You just crushes a lot All right, we gotta take a little break. We come back. We got uh mose here
