Hey, when's last time you've listened to Hot 995?
1:36
Because we have all of the music, but also a lot more.
1:39
Like in turn, John, in your morning show, I'm Elizabethan E.I. want to make sure you always
1:43
know about the latest events, deals, and things we're making fun of around the DMV.
1:48
I love this station.
1:49
You talk about real stuff.
1:50
And Nicola is getting you access to all of your favorite artists.
1:53
And we're all giving a bunch of things away every day.
1:56
In fact, you might even be able to win a million dollars.
1:58
Oh, it's never working.
2:01
Where do you see his number one?
2:02
Hey, music station hot 995 just a summer time in, well, it's about to be the summer time.
2:07
And we got the 2006 six.
2:09
Oh my god, 2006 goodness gracious work up.
2:13
You have any plans for the work up?
2:19
My grandson is a soccer expert.
2:23
And he is a soccer player.
2:25
And he's in that desk team, you know, downtown desk, you know, desk, you'll know soon
2:30
because your kids are going to be in the desk soon to wait and see.
2:34
And so Truman plays all the time and Sunday he was up in cold spring harbor.
2:38
My daughter spends all her time driving him to games.
2:42
But he's, I got him tickets to the final and through a friend.
2:48
And so he and I are going, he said, you're going, he wants to go with a friend, he doesn't
2:54
I'll see closer to closer to the final time.
2:57
But then he today said, he, he's sending me a list of all the other games that he wants
3:04
One, the Columbia game is down in Miami.
3:06
So he's going to have to fly down to Miami for it.
3:09
He's, he really loves soccer.
3:11
And so I'll be going to some World Cup matches, I hope.
3:16
And and he, he's just, he's a good kid.
3:18
He's a really, he really isn't just sports less basketball and more soccer.
3:23
I bought him a share in Swansea, you know, Swansea in Wales.
3:31
Snoop Dogg, Snoop Dogg was buying into Swansea and he told me about it.
3:35
So I bought and just Swansea and and took Truman over there.
3:40
I could give you a video.
3:42
We beat Rexham for the first game, the first game.
3:45
And then they played last week and they lost two to one.
3:49
It was only two to one.
3:50
We beat, we beat Rexham the first game that was last fall.
3:54
And Truman, he, he wrote to me and he, he said, why am I buying, why am I buying just a
4:01
little part of a, of a, you know, team like like Swansea, he said, I, I can find you
4:07
a team for like 70 or 80,000 pounds.
4:11
And then, but then I said, you have to manage it, Truman.
4:15
You have to go, you have to be the match.
4:16
Oh, he wanted to own the whole team.
4:17
Yeah, he wanted by the whole team.
4:18
He said, you make, he says, you'll make, you'll make five, ten times your money.
4:22
This way, you're only going to make a little fraction of your money.
4:25
Yeah, but it's so smart.
4:26
Do you want to hire him?
4:27
I like the way he thinks.
4:28
No, he's a big, he's, he's very, very bright.
4:31
And so we're going to see what Truman, Truman is up to.
4:36
It's really cool because I, I like soccer, obviously, I can't buy into some of those teams.
4:43
But, you know, watching it, it's cool.
4:46
So I'm, I'm curious to see, because I think I'm going to go, I'm going to go to a couple
4:53
Try to get finals, right?
4:56
Right across the river here.
4:57
The only problem with that, though, is that life is the worst place to get to.
5:00
Yeah, but that's like one, that's one of the things like it's worse than, no matter what.
5:03
I mean, I'm out of work.
5:04
Go through the Lincoln tunnel.
5:05
Yeah, but like, if, if trying to, I went to the, I feel what game was, I think it was
5:10
legals Jets, it took me way too long to actually get into the stadium, but I saw it for
5:17
a good hour and a half, two hours before I actually walked in from the, from the road.
5:27
You're not a good advanced planner.
5:32
There's one person here.
5:33
It is a good advanced planner.
5:35
Me, compared to him.
5:37
I'm a huge spurred moment guy, you know?
5:42
I'm not, I'm not a good planner and I, and I'm, I'm not a good communicator.
5:47
So you were really roommates in college at Villanova.
5:53
And, uh, and, and you, you were all, you, you all lived in something called room 311.
5:59
No, we were in Galen.
6:01
What room were you in?
6:03
We were the first one.
6:06
Somebody told me there's.
6:08
311 or 314, some of that.
6:10
It was definitely third four, because I remember those steps.
6:13
And they said they, somebody told me if you lived in a room called 311.
6:16
I mean, probably 311 Farley.
6:18
You did your research on this.
6:20
I mean, look at this.
6:25
This is a question I was supposed to ask you.
6:26
What was life like in room 311 at Villanova?
6:29
And who did the cleaning?
6:31
Well, actually, luckily we had actually a pretty good group.
6:39
And myself, I wish it was J.L.
6:41
And myself, one of our teammates, Eric.
6:44
And then we had, was it Danny, right?
6:46
I walk on Danny, uh, Danny Gray's.
6:50
I mean, none of us cooked.
6:51
So where did you eat in the cafeteria?
6:55
The cafeteria or the team were like, what are us food?
6:57
Like through like, quote unquote.
7:00
What was your favorite?
7:01
What was your favorite takeout?
7:02
I mean, at that point, I mean, we got Chipotle.
7:06
You know, it was, I guess we can't really think of that.
7:11
But Chipotle, maybe.
7:13
So what was, what was his worst habit?
7:18
He had, he wasn't dirty.
7:20
He wasn't a dirty person like, what I mean, I mean, like messy.
7:24
He just had so much stuff that it was just like everywhere everywhere.
7:27
What was, was, was his worst, worst trait?
7:32
I was a great roommate.
7:35
I probably knocked on his door.
7:36
Yeah, he would be annoying.
7:38
That was his only thing.
7:43
Study in your room or did you study?
7:44
I mean, you did very well in college I found out.
7:48
You graduated in three years.
7:51
That's a difficult school too.
7:53
But where did you study in that library?
7:56
Uh, maybe once or twice in a library.
7:58
I lost in your room?
8:01
I couldn't, I couldn't really study in my room.
8:02
But you didn't study?
8:03
Just like we had a, we had a, our film room at the facility also kind of, when we weren't
8:10
using it, that's where you did like, I worked.
8:13
And so, I mean, it was quiet if people weren't in there to do stuff like that.
8:15
But you graduated in communications.
8:21
But I'm a terrible communicator.
8:22
No, you're not looking.
8:24
No, yeah, I can do this.
8:25
You're just like texting and phone calls.
8:28
Yeah, that's a secretary.
8:30
No, because now that's another pro.
8:32
Oh, that's like my wife, my wife's my secretary.
8:37
Yeah, because now she, when I can't, when he doesn't answer, I call her, when it's important
8:42
And like now, like, somebody would eat like, my marketing agent, Tosh, like she'll, or
8:48
Matt, like they'll text me about something I have to do, or like they're like, check,
8:53
hey, like, you know, we sent you an email, whatever.
8:57
And she's actually, she has my email on her phone for some reason.
9:00
And now, so she like opens all the emails and kind of like, let me know what I'm, what
9:07
So she's, she's solid.
9:10
How many years ago was that?
9:11
You're, you're 29, Jalen.
9:12
So I haven't, when did you graduate?
9:19
But that, what we, that year we lived was 2016.
9:24
Let me look together.
9:26
Because he graduated here before me.
9:27
And did you start playing ball?
9:28
I mean, professional right away?
9:33
Oh, it's so much fun.
9:36
So I mean, you're just, you have, you have the charmed life.
9:40
I mean, this is every kid's dream to be who you are, right?
9:47
I think they all, every, every kid wants to be you guys.
9:51
And you have a big responsibility.
9:54
You live up to your responsibilities.
9:58
That's a loaded question.
10:00
I think that was terrible.
10:01
That's a terrible question.
10:02
I just made that up.
10:03
I just made that up.
10:05
I would say except Truman.
10:06
It's not like Truman wants to be messier and all though.
10:13
He does not like some of those guys.
10:14
Who's this favorite soccer player?
10:15
His favorite soccer ball.
10:16
His team is Liverpool.
10:19
He likes Liverpool.
10:20
How are they doing now?
10:21
I feel like I've lost track.
10:23
They are fifth, I think.
10:30
He must be depressed.
10:31
I haven't talked to him about it at all.
10:32
But, but it's not terrible though.
10:33
Because in Europe, obviously you have, they're in a Premier League.
10:37
So, but then like the main, not the main league.
10:39
But like the big thing is Champions League.
10:41
Like you want to qualify for Champions League.
10:43
Are they going to qualify this year?
10:45
They're like on the cusp because you get four teams in the Premier League.
10:50
But then depending on the performance of.
10:53
So, let me tell you what he said to the, to the owner of Liverpool.
10:57
After the game, Liverpool won.
11:00
They were, they were playing.
11:05
And so Liverpool won.
11:06
And then the owner had us in his suite.
11:08
And they were treating us nicely.
11:10
And because we were owner soccer owners.
11:13
And, and Truman's asked the guy in front of everybody.
11:16
All the adults, Truman says, can I tell you something?
11:19
And the, and the owner said, yes, you could, you can.
11:22
And he said, or can I ask you something?
11:24
And he said, why don't you fire the coach.
11:30
And replace him with last year's coach.
11:32
The team like that last year's coach much better than this year's coach.
11:39
Yeah, clop was amazing.
11:40
That's a, I said, hell of a question.
11:42
Is that a good strategy?
11:43
Maybe since they're in fifth place.
11:45
And they were in first place last year.
11:47
Yeah, clop was, he was probably one of the best managers in the world.
11:52
But I just think he wanted to like, I think he wanted to more so step away.
11:58
Because he still is in.
11:59
Truman thought they should bring him back.
12:01
Um, I mean, if they have the chance, they definitely should.
12:04
But anyway, this is beyond my pay grade.
12:07
I have no idea what I'm talking about.
12:11
He wants to, he'll be, he'll be probably, maybe he'll run the mix.
12:18
How about that, Truman?
12:19
I need to, I think I'm going to go to the finals because I have,
12:22
through this ambassador ship, I did with, uh, with them.
12:25
I have like, tickets to the, to the New York game.
12:27
So maybe I'll, maybe I, I got to meet Truman there.
12:31
I want you to meet Truman.
12:32
He'll, he would, he'd like him.
12:36
The season's given real playoff.
12:37
It's going to be here before we know it.
12:38
And Dordash is basically the third member of this friendship.
12:42
Hit that Dordash out and stay in your bag early because Josh definitely won't share his food.
12:48
I gotta say it's true.
12:49
Players got their bags, but fans got theirs too.
12:52
And Dordash keeps mine elite.
12:55
Shout out to Mike and Nikes.
12:57
Gear fresh enough that I look like I'm wearing in a tunnel fit.
13:00
Even when I'm walking into the Jalen's house.
13:02
Bro shows up like it's a runway.
13:03
And he's just here to watch film.
13:06
Josh doesn't even watch film.
13:07
Meanwhile, if my team drops a close one, Dordash already knows I need dessert immediately.
13:11
My group check was silent.
13:12
Josh included, but Dordash always pulls through.
13:14
That's because I'm busy rewatching the highlights.
13:17
You don't even watch highlights.
13:18
We know how it goes.
13:21
Or like something random.
13:22
Dordash was literally built for those exact.
13:25
I'm starving, but also exhausted moments.
13:27
Dordash has been walking like the man.
13:29
Snacks cuts even spirit charger for Josh because he somehow lives his whole life on one percent.
13:35
I'm kinda serious today, but hey.
13:38
From tip off to OT, stay in your bag and order on Dordash.
13:42
Snacks drinks gear.
13:43
Everything you need is survived the season.
13:45
Dordash and your bag all season long.
