Zac Saleski:

Yeah actually have a nice change of scenery here we actually do we are not podcast but outside but we were inside. Yes. Inside of merps house.

Murph:

We are in my so yeah. Am I in the panel? Yeah, poker room, cigar room, whatever you want to call it? Yeah, wine tasting room. I don't know something like that. Whatever. The privileged elite get to experience that I only briefly experienced until I move out the pros.

Zac Saleski:

And we are drinking some Oktoberfest. Oh yeah, not too shabby. We are getting a nice little quick head start on this stuff. But uh, no, it's been a actually you know what the last time we did an episode

Unknown:

was in here. I thought it was a summer

Zac Saleski:

from Vegas. Yeah,

Unknown:

that's right. What cheese?

Zac Saleski:

It was like the hell's the next one's gonna be alone. So now we awkward

Murph:

busy people's necks working a lot. It's true. Yeah, you got to make that money. You got to make that more than podcast money.

Zac Saleski:

You know what? Maybe one day if we're smart enough we can we can make some money off this. Yep. But until then we will drink our dreams away.

Murph:

Exactly. Just like the typical middle class privilege Americans we are.

Zac Saleski:

So a couple of different things that obviously if you guys are watching the video portion, we're in the cigar room. And so it's a couple of different changes. But one thing I was trying to do I was like, I was trying to buy a bunch of different things and make this seem remotely efficient. But yeah, all these chords kind of make me look like an idiot. So that's just that's some flavor. Nobody trip or this whole operation is done.

Murph:

Exactly. Let my imaginary friend know that list of cars have havoc. Sounds very old. I'm sure there's some ghosts in here somewhere. I haven't found them

Zac Saleski:

yet. So here your house is built upon a Native American burial ground

Murph:

isn't like all of America built on the Native American burial ground? So that's what a segue right You're welcome.

Zac Saleski:

As you guys could tell Murphy is Ambassador segways Yes. Rose master segway

Murph:

my internet minor in college. Yep. Stick with my

Zac Saleski:

How do you feel art segways Don't mind us as we're really holding this random big stand but correct. Hit the microphone. Feels half for frickin face. So

Murph:

it is yeah, it's a little distracting from our beauty, our chiseled American Beauty full of fast food. And

Zac Saleski:

this is the portion where Murph tries to fit into American culture because

Murph:

I was doing really good there for a second I felt like I was I was really tricking people. Yeah, to

Zac Saleski:

be doing that when you hand me a big old bag of ketchup chips.

Murph:

You're right. You're right. That's well, you know, you're the one that eats him. So just remember that. How does that feel?

Zac Saleski:

I don't know what they do in Canada, but they put crack ketchup chips

Murph:

by the crack and probably sugar

Zac Saleski:

crack. Yeah, that's enough. It has been a ridiculous last few months. I have been stupid busy still working at store I've been working at kind of been focused heavily on that as we're getting into recruiting season for coaching. So I've kind of been back and forth with that. And then Murph

Murph:

just started my coaching season. Yeah. So now while hockey right title technically, because I'm not registered yet. I can do it. But if I was on the roster, I wouldn't be coaching right now. So kind of started kind of not but yeah, I get to run practices myself. So your team seems to somewhat respect me. I'm sure that'll only last for a season. But you know, see, oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. You know, kids are fun. That's a really bad. Really bad. I just realized that after I said that. I was like they're high school kids now as an Ivan, and I'm going to help with anything. Yeah, that just Yeah,

Zac Saleski:

in the state of Ohio, you have to go through a bunch of certifications. This is kind of painful, but part of the year where you have to not sure about hockey, but for football. It's like seven or eight different certifications. It's a pain in the ass. You got to

Murph:

caution safe sport

Zac Saleski:

takes you two or three days to go through it. If you really sit down and pump it out,

Murph:

which I'm sure in Europe, it's like cutting edge like actually probably helps you hear us it's just basically their way of being like Well, now we can't be sued because we can rightfully say we had all our coaches sit down and listen to this stuff. True. So yeah, developing the proper cultures.

Zac Saleski:

Also, too. I want to give a special shout out to spend thank you so much for the McDonald's Coca Cola class.

Murph:

I never saw him. Thank you. I guess I will take his word for it. It's like really one, bro. So he said so he sent

Zac Saleski:

me three. Yeah, it is like he felt very obligated to send us glasses because he kept saying well you guys keep using cans and bottles and you're just wasting away the environment. So he got his glasses, which I don't get it.

Murph:

Yeah, said I got bad news for you, buddy. That's like this beer comes in something from the store. Don't tell him Yeah, right. Yeah, this is America. Sure, we're sure next one just be us. Like throwing all of them in the garbage in front of them all. Just all the cans. said just throw it in there. Yeah, just hear it. Just go to the landfill and just throw them in there.

Zac Saleski:

This is what you've caused me. Exactly. It caused me heartburn fuckery Europe I don't know if you recycle the

Murph:

problem I can feel I can feel you're getting hotter from global

Zac Saleski:

warming along with the other glasses he sent a letter part of it was like he was talking about this is not a Greta Thunberg approval he called her Greta

Unknown:

tuna is that the old Chancellor some I don't know who that is. The Thunberg the little girl

Zac Saleski:

that says How dare you?

Murph:

Oh, I didn't know how dare you know wasn't aware of it. I don't I don't know this person. I thought it was like a little sister.

Zac Saleski:

She's or whatever sitting around me like how dare you you ruin You're ruining my generation with the environment and you're okay.

Murph:

No, no, I'm not that up to date on that. Okay. No, I think she's better men or something.

Zac Saleski:

No, she Danish. She's hot. No, she's like a kid.

Murph:

Oh, nevermind. No, that was bad. That was bad. Yeah, we go and that jokes. And I miss this. There we go. Very close to not PC or just just going right over the line. That was a lot people just shut off and been like government Yes. Maybe this guy is

Zac Saleski:

more like maple gay. Right shut down.

Murph:

Got him. Went back to middle school for that one. That one. That one got it. Just PTSD right there. That one got

Zac Saleski:

anything happen in Canada right now? They open up the borders again.

Murph:

They did so you know. I guess like that happened a while ago. But yes, they did. They did that. You know, I don't think they mourn for the queen dying. But it was big news up there. So yeah, that was big. I think they I think they did a little something. But I can't remember my family didn't talk a lot about it. They just kept talking about how she died and how she was cute and all this other stuff. And it was like I kind of found it funny. All the stuff that came out after about like the other horrible things going on under her reign. Oh, yeah. Like all these countries now are like we're so sorry. She passed but like now we want to be our own thing now. Like, you have the things that you still Yeah, we'd be our own countries now. Or

Zac Saleski:

I was watching Tic Toc and and there's like there's one thing or the showing, like how much basically like their assets they had. It is ridiculous. It's crazy on top of you know, the ungodly amounts of taxes going to pay in the land as British citizens but everything else is like they had the biggest diamond that's ever been

Murph:

out of India or something. Yeah, they'd like a president or whatever that country's like yeah, we want that back. Like that's a lot of money like and they're just like noop Yeah, exactly. You know, you can politely Go fuck yourself.

Zac Saleski:

King Charles is like

Murph:

what do they call it that English humor I forgot what they call it like the English pickup lines that like those Seidman guys will do on tick tock every once in a while where it's like, Virgin date rape and they're like, oh, it's English humor and I'm like, Oh, thanks so this is just this is stuff I tried in college it didn't work like my virginity card all over again. Close to Home

Zac Saleski:

surprise Canada didn't like be like you know what kind of tired of

Murph:

this now they're happy to hitch their wagon to England I'm sure there's some Canadians out there that like tires know what the fuck he's talking about. But I feel like they have lots of opportunities to separate themselves and they have not so Murph is

Zac Saleski:

the the the professional here the separatist on this

Murph:

part French Canadian

Zac Saleski:

you side with the natives too far? Nevermind. Stir and talking to the from Trudeau right oh boy. i You know what I think is eventually when Trudeau whatever he decides to get out of office. I think we could see something maybe I'll be hilarious you get like conservative voice in there maybe

Murph:

honestly with all the news coming out in the world with like, Justin like yeah, Italy doing its thing and all these other countries. It's like yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if Canadians elected a very Trump like individual So yeah, that's I would be shocked on that because I know there's a few democratic Canadians that would is gonna I'm gonna piss on my grades are saying that but no, I could see a mass majority coming out and being like, yeah, no, fuck this PC shit.

Zac Saleski:

That's the thing man. I got it. I kind of got a real kind of looking into things when people start throwing rocks at your dough on the

Murph:

trail. That's really the only lake like like that's the only Oh, I guess there was not the biggest of deals but kind of big deal. They had like a really big knife murder a few weeks ago. It Yeah, this guy like I guess it was drug related. And it was near reservation went on like a little killing spree and they couldn't find him for a while him and his brother had killed like 14 people. I don't say I looked that up that I don't think that number is correct. But it was a pretty high number. And it was like everything I think was like knives or something. And then he went just like it was in like the wilderness of Manitoba or somewhere around there. And yeah, he like he was like, yeah, like disappear. Like they couldn't find him for like five days. Yeah, it was it was pretty crazy. They said it was it was up there for one of Canada's bigger murders. I mean, they've had some serial murders up there. But in recent history, that one was pretty big compared to the other guy that disguised himself as a Mountie, and we started killing people randomly and then catch him for a few days. It was bad but

Zac Saleski:

yeah, can wait for the newspaper headline that man walks around with knife

Murph:

right That was it was big for a little while there. I think he made national news as big for a while then they eventually caught him and he's caught now he's done but yeah, that was that was kind of that was kind of big up there for a little while.

Zac Saleski:

He just got bored. Right probably.

Murph:

I don't know. Well, drug related probably just got really high. Oh true. Yeah.

Zac Saleski:

Recollection

Murph:

crazy shit like crazy show like I know. Yeah like Alaska. Oh yeah did I read something online that some guy who was like an avid meth user got pissed at work one day and because someone had swept like use a broom and swept over his feet, and he believed it was gonna be 40 years of bad luck. Oh, so he just started wailing on this person. Oh my god. Yeah, like it's crazy drunk. I don't know, I didn't the story that I read didn't really say much more. They was just found out that he had a history of method meth use methadone use so it was just kind of like, oh, yikes. Yeah. So obviously he was missing a few brain cells. Oh, a couple. Yeah. Yeah. seemed like a good individual. Absolutely. That's but no better than hating Trudeau blue J seem to be doing really well. They're gonna make the playoffs. It looks like for baseball, which anytime the Canadian team makes playoffs, the whole country is pumped. That's why the Raptors were such a big thing. The whole country it was burned down. And hockey season starting soon. So other than that, that's really kind of all I know, for the Canadians right now that are kind of going around. I'm sure lots of people in the comment section will be like there's a genocide going on or something. And I bet again, I'm not hearing anything about that. But I will remind everyone the news on here is from family I do not hear I do not avidly watch the BBC or something like that. I think Murph News Network. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. It's very vague and very one sided. It's like the Fox network. Not a lot of facts, just baseless opinions and faceless stuff.

Zac Saleski:

Secondhand rumors. Exactly. in small towns. Yes. It's like your number one news source.

Murph:

And we're making up things.

Zac Saleski:

And then Exactly, I mean, in in that in an answer, Murph news network.

Murph:

That's a lot of ends. You don't need one. Network sick.

Zac Saleski:

Right. And who's gonna

Murph:

have a stroke trying to say

Zac Saleski:

sorry, snowblowers. Right. I was mentioned this tomorrow before the podcast, but there's this. We're big fans of tiny meat gang podcast. Oh, yeah. It's because like, Cody is he's Canadian, but they had this one thing on one of their episodes. It's basically this Canadian. No, it was it was kind of like a religious kind of retreat. But it basically is for for people who have who are addicted to drugs and alcohol and stuff. So it's kind of like a concert thing. That's called rehab.

Murph:

Rehab.

Zac Saleski:

There was a stage so it's more so like motivational type stuff. But I found out I was in Winnipeg, ironically.

Murph:

Yeah. And the guy's like one when I was wanting to do anything out there true.

Zac Saleski:

I mean, to be worse to be admitted. It just like this singular stage, and it's probably like 20 people watching this guy kind of like paced back and forth slowly. This guy's like, you know, you're gonna we guys gonna complain about you're gonna start blaming for your problems. Nobody but you. It's like, oh, okay, where's the hell is this headed? It's like

Murph:

you can start getting hot I like it. You could pray pray to Jesus

Zac Saleski:

all you want. No, fuck you. It's like whoa, sure. How's this?

Murph:

It's like some real self discovery right there.

Zac Saleski:

Yeah, like loving the morning server. You don't?

Murph:

Currently someone will steal Hi, they did not

Zac Saleski:

a man you got to go in the woods and do it. Right. That's not like oh, that's that's that's my Canadian news for a day. Oh, yeah, that'll do it. I shut down tick tock for a whole day for that.

Murph:

God read the stuff you find on tick tock. It's

Zac Saleski:

a never ending loop. The worst never ending loop

Murph:

never ending this podcast.

Zac Saleski:

Just like a slow turn off. actly right. Yeah. And done. Geez. Well, Murph. Yeah. How's life? Your buddy doing it? Oh, I

Murph:

guess should I tell them that I made a trip to your motherland. Oh, yeah, go ahead. This Yeah, this is excellent. So this is for worse. I did go to Kansas City, Missouri, I believe. Yep. Yep. I would so what Zach was like, oh, you know, you gotta get these chips are called gay. Which I was like, interesting name, but that's fair. Gay chips.

Zac Saleski:

I don't know what kind of part of town you were in.

Murph:

Don't you texted me? Did you text me gay? That was the name of them.

Zac Saleski:

That was another Zack. How you toma okay, it

Murph:

was the dealerships,

Zac Saleski:

guys.

Murph:

Oh, guys. Sorry. All right. I was one letter off yeah, guys chips, which unfortunately I didn't get him any because I'm a terrible friend. And I didn't find them. I could have looked at maybe a little harder but just couldn't find all you had to do a grocery store or corner store which is really bad because we were at a grocery store at one point I had forgotten Oh, and my boss had remembered like 30 minutes after we left. He's like did you get those chips? Oh, no luck. So not our Yeah, that was Yeah, we were I was only there unfortunately for three days so I couldn't go to Zach's hometown true where see all the special small town stuff and exactly what the Jesse James robbed a bank there.

Zac Saleski:

Yeah, just first just for the very first daylight saving or do daylight robbery

Murph:

yeah which then again this was back in the 20s like that where liners bro was a ship Yeah, I'm thinking of mid to late they kind of see after so yeah that the Johnny Depp movie was his face yeah right no no what was the other one he did where was like public enemies or something like that where he was you know see an air of like Baby Face Nelson and all them

Zac Saleski:

Oh Capone

Murph:

yeah it was a good poem but he was someone like something like that yeah anyway

Zac Saleski:

I did actually want to Jesse James in that movie

Murph:

yeah because rapid has a few of those like some good ones and then the other ones just full

Zac Saleski:

he's from Missouri so that sounds like that was a weird piece we'll get sorry

Murph:

no you're gonna know you're here so yeah, so I didn't get to go do that which was disappointing but you know it was what it was. So we stayed downtown Kansas City first thing just gonna get it off the bat for anyone that goes and visits a lot of homeless and they are all nuts. I can't tell you how many times I wake up in the morning and go to like walk and get some coffee and I don't know if the viewers will be proud or be like why are you spending money like this but I like to try and go and I'm like, when I'm traveling to like little coffee local coffee shops like I don't like doing the chains so like I don't like the Dunkin Donuts or stuff like I'll go to a little cafe kind of style thing so they had like one or two right near our apartment apartment now primary hotel and so as like literally the two mornings I woke up to go walk there it was like someone had taken all the trash and thrown it all over the street and tipped them upside down taking the plans and tips some of them upside down or threw them broken some stuff stuffed trash and local business door handles like shit like that. And literally like right across the street. Yeah, right across the street. You just see them camped out like tents and like all that stuff. So I guess Zach said a new mayor came in and was just kind of like, oh, like you know, this is their land tunes just like let them do their thing and you're just kind of like you're seeing literally these people having psychotic breakdowns and in one case I saw I don't know if it was the homeless persons or not, but there was literally a knife next to one like a few yards away that if I had maybe made the wrong comment or the wrong iContact he could have grabbed it and used it which was like really nuts but you know, we live in an imperfect world I know some people are gonna be like oh, they're homeless about and I'm like we gotta do better taking care of it but that's just my opinion.

Zac Saleski:

Well and of course we're gonna run for all right,

Murph:

right and of course we were in your hospital too so I think that's why they were it was like a park at a hospital so they're all staying in the park I think because the hospitals like right there yeah, the other thing that was kind of cool didn't realize is like it feels like it's like the City of Fountains like was a Florence Italy it got shut on Kansas City. There were a lot of towns I don't like huge ones but there were a lot of good ones around I think there's just driving around the downtown we saw like six It was insane and it was like you know they had some of the Greek undertones like Neptune and all that stuff. Others were just kind of random figures. I don't know what they're supposed to represent. But the cool ones with the horses on the US like there wasn't a park or things in our hotel Park Country Club plaza that Yeah, cuz we weren't that's where we stayed

Zac Saleski:

on there. Yeah, there okay. Yeah, so that one ironically it's funny he mentioned this candidate he's actually known for having they call the City of Fountains but they as far as things Florence Italy, but they said Florence has more but they have more fountains but Cassidy has the most I guess, working active fountains in any city in the world. So it's wastewater but that fountain the the one that Murph saw actually was a gift from the French I don't know what store was it basically they sent it to them I should know that they sent it to us because I guess when their French authors or philosophers came over and he's like, this is the best place I've been to and the whole world and he's like I want to show of gratitude and it's cool because like that specific found anytime that chiefs play the Royals play they always dye the water certain color for support and stuff so it's pretty cool like during cheap seasons red or blue for the Royals

Murph:

and all that stuff. was beautiful is a nice fountain like the sound is gonna sound stupid, but the water pressure was good that like like the felt good. It wasn't like just piss and water. It was like full bore. It was awesome. And it was it was hard. Yeah, it was in a cool parks just seeing all these people like jogging. And were you when you look back to the homeless, it was really nice to kind of just see the grounds and and like little workout areas around it. It

Zac Saleski:

was good. It was cool. Probably we weren't too far from the museum and no, I

Murph:

don't think I was I don't remember passing it when we walked around the way it was not big. shuttlecock. Nice. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I think I saw like a little outline of it or so they referenced it. Yeah, it's a big Yeah, it was like ever seeing a picture I was it was in our pamphlet hotel provided of like things to do in the city as but hey, you know,

Zac Saleski:

Natural History Museum and Art Museum.

Murph:

Cool. Okay, so the Shamrock is Piece art. Gotcha. Yeah, kinda cool. Yeah, honestly, I would definitely go back it sucked. I was there for work like the one day I could go out and do things. It was like Well, no, I couldn't go and do things but the one day we could go we were out in the town. It was like 100 degrees and we had to go to like a ton of different restaurants to like, look at the stuff it was literally like a 12 hour day. So yeah, we just didn't have time to but I would Definitely go back. It was a really cool city but like I get some more on the brighter side of that stuff was like it really cool. The area we stayed in was like really cool little shops and all that stuff. Like it was like the shopping mall and all that. So it was really cool seeing all that really quiet though. Like it's kind of sad. Like it wasn't very busy. Like it was just very quiet everywhere. Like, we went to a few bars and it was I mean, we were there I guess the beginning of the week and it was like nobody at these bars like we go have dinner and nobody was

Zac Saleski:

out there people they gotta work to go celebrate tourists. Oh, that's

Murph:

fair. That actually it was expensive. It's expensive. Like it's weirdly expensive out there shouldn't be kind of was though. I mean, downtown, probably expensive like New York. I'm not like but it's still expensive for being the Midwest. I keep away from Ohio. Yeah, I guess you're right. I guess I'm just spoiled. It's hard to compare. You can't compare others Originally, the

Zac Saleski:

city is going to be like that. I think Murph was closer to what we call, there's like a strip of bars down there near the god there arena. It's called The Power Light District. It has a bunch of bars and whatnot. But on the outside of that it's where they have like a lot of the kind of like the local places, some of the local stores. And then I'm not sure how far you were from the jazz district at all.

Murph:

Didn't hear anything about that. About Yeah, I do know, we were about 12 minutes away from the stadiums, because we drove by him. But did you get to one of our restaurants? Yeah. So I was gonna go into that it was really cool. Like, that's what Philly was kind of like this. And I love that. And I think that's what also Kansas City is like, which I love is that they put the stadiums really close to each other for their major sporting teams. And so you kind of could just park and tailgate and you could do like multiple games, and they're all playing on the same day, which was like really awesome. So like, instead of thinking like external Columbus does a good job here. But like I'm trying to think of another example. I really can't think of any I guess when I lived in Atlanta, it was like where the Thrash was played at the time. Was it a different part of Arkansas, right? No, that's it. My brother played in Phoenix, where like the rink was where the coyotes played was like one side of the city that was like kind of a way that people didn't want to go after work. And then like the Diamondbacks play, like in a whole nother area that like Drew was easier to get to. And so it's kind of great when you see cities kind of work together that you can just use one parking lot for all the major events. It's just kind of easy to find at all. If events happen to piggyback off each other. Like that's what Philadelphia did, which was awesome. So you could just like easily like tailgate, a, you know, near the end of the Eagles, and then maybe go to a flyers game later that day, like it was like it was really cool. So that was kind of cool to

Zac Saleski:

draw out on is that complex? It's called the Harry Truman complex. Yeah.

Murph:

Okay. That makes sense. Because one of the restaurants near there is called Truman's marketplace. Yep. So, yes. Truman was from Missouri, right.

Zac Saleski:

He's from Independence. Yeah. The chicken farmer. Yeah. Yes, he owned his own business. He owns like a business.

Murph:

Yeah, he's a very profitable, very good businessman, not a great president. But he wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great, either. Well, they made a lot of his decisions, because he because a lot of people disrespected him pretty badly. I mean, that was a little documentary on him recently. And it was just like, isn't good enough

Zac Saleski:

credit. But yeah, there's also other stuff. Yeah, kind of sideswiped. But at that point, you get FDR who's like, been in office for 25 years. I could have done

Murph:

yeah. I could have became chancellor, Chancellor.

Zac Saleski:

Chancellor. I haven't seen a counselor.

Murph:

Honestly, 2022 Whispering deposition around PC. That's what we need right here. I guess you can call Karen cancellers. True. Yeah. Anyway, another, but no, yeah. No. kvcd Yeah, that that was really cool. Seeing that to the stadiums was really cool. There's one Oh, last big thing. I told Zack. Zack just rolled his eyes. Well, so the hotel I stayed at was it was Courtyard by Marriott or something like that. We were going to our rooms and we noticed in the hallway, they had the small doors, like outside of some of the main doors, and the doors would have been like, I don't know, like, I mean, if you're watching, it probably would have been like, so from the from the ground like this high. Like, you know, I'm six feet, it wouldn't have come to my shoulders. It was maybe like five or something like that. Yeah. And they had a knob on them. And we're just like, but they're a different color than like the room doors. And so they had a weird technical snafu. So the manager led us into our rooms and then gave us her keys. And as we're walking, I was like, hey, like, what are these doors in the back? And I'm just gonna be honest here. And I might I thought it was he's gonna say like, they're for little people or something like that, because they were smaller. And like, I know, I know, a treat everyone the same, but I thought, oh, maybe they want appropriate size rooms. I don't know. But I don't know. So that was kind of my thought at first. Yeah, and then he's just like, oh, no, he's like, these were believed. I don't know. I didn't do the research. But this is what he claimed is like this used to be an apartment building and we've bought it over and now we're converting in a hotel and these doors used to be were up at this floor was the lavish and privilege that they would put their clothes coats in there was like a mud room before they would go into their apartment. And that's where they keep that stuff to bed. And I was like, Oh, that's cool. And of course the doors were sealed shut and they didn't like they couldn't open them but they had the cool glass looking like like diamond glass looking knobs that you know, you see an old decor back in the day. Here we go, you know, and you could twist them around, but nothing would happen. So we were like, Oh, that's cool. So then we were in an Uber ride. And we're talking to an Uber driver, just kind of about the city. And I'm that weird person I talked to my Uber drivers, I just like to talk with them a little bit. I feel like they have such long days. I'm just like, chat with them. They want to chat and a lot of them want to chat. So I'll always if I'm traveling, just ask them questions and get their personal opinions as I don't, I don't mind doing some of the touristy stuff. But I also like doing the local stuff. Like I love experiencing the life where I'm at. So I just like to see what they would recommend for like bars or things like that to kind of get that local field. And so we were talking about our hotel, and he was just like, have you read up at that hotel yet? And we're like, no. And I forgot who the owner was. Apparently, the owner was the owner of the apartments where they were at the time and he lived in them to was like a really prominent Kansas City businessman. And then I might have gone into politics. And they're like, yeah, he like was independent. He got into politics in like the 60s or 70s. And he's like, there's this big main strip in Kansas City. I don't know what it's called. But this big main road, he sounds like it's a pretty popular Road, like in Columbus, we'd refer to as long as like High Street. It's like almost like cuts through the city. And he said, I know. Yeah. And he said it was like a time and can in Kansas where unfortunately, racism had like resurfaced. He had able to somehow get it that he had made this street the dividing point between African American neighborhoods and white neighborhoods. And that's what he had done to the city before he had died. And so I guess they're like, he had done some good, but he had done this really bad and so they're saying it sounds like candles, still trying to recover from that. But yeah, it's it's like you don't get that undertone when you're down there. But it also seems like it's like a secret like it's a dark secret that nobody talks about, like Yeah, it's weird.

Zac Saleski:

I actually I know exactly what St. Mark's talking about. So there's a street near Country Club Plaza it's where they cut off kind of the time the ghetto with the yuppie people Yep. So it's because like he basically bought the rest of the strip and basically made all the prices through the roof so no one could even buy anything or live there and yeah, it was pretty bad but I get this question a lot people like it was isn't it kind of racist like there are parts of Kansas City are still kind of racist. Gotta go outside of it. More rural? Yeah, you're gonna get

Murph:

that but yet they're here even here in

Zac Saleski:

Ohio. Oh, definitely. Yeah. But Cassidy it was cool about it is that they're such a weird, like, mix. Part of the city. So like, there's so much actually the areas actually Murph did not even hit and there's no okay. Sorry. Yeah, he was he would like these more than I would have liked

Murph:

if it was only there for three days. Sorry. Yeah. Sorry. Yeah.

Zac Saleski:

No, it's eight. It's called the street called 18th. And vine is where the jazz district is. So yeah, like the jazz Museum and awesome, like historical jazz clubs are down there. And then also, you have the Negro Leagues Museum,

Murph:

because I want to do that. I want to go to see that really badly. That sounds really cool. Yeah, I was, I think I heard about that on the podcast. And I was like, I kind of put that on my list of I'm that weird and nerdy. I have a list of museums and monuments I want to go see, and even some here in America. And I'm just like, that's high up there.

Zac Saleski:

It's high. It's one of the coolest things you can actually see because like, it's kind of cool because like the jazz Museum and Negro Leagues museum are actually in the same building across from each other. So it makes sense. They're a big part of that culture. And Cassidy actually had a really good team there at the time called the Cassidy monarchs they were they actually they had satchel page all the VMs that came

Murph:

through a little study on the Negro Leagues definitely kind of a really cooler part of American history that unfortunately also a very bad part of American history. But it's funny how they said like if those if we're integrated sooner how many of those guys will sell the birds like I guess they're saying like, as amazing Babe Ruth was like, compared to a lot of the players in the Negro Leagues he would have maybe been a benchwarmer like it was just like it was crazy

Zac Saleski:

the cool thing about that because I I've been there as a kid a bunch because what they're up to three times even the jazz museum so like you kind of get the thing I got there at the time. I still remember this where they say like cancer the issue was one of the best teams that time and they were always like competing with like Memphis and all these other teams. And I was like at that time to the Royals sucked Yeah, like bad and I'm like oh, I can we have a decent team now? Graded sooner? Yeah, that's like shit. This is like late 90s early 2000s Like the hell didn't

Murph:

didn't Ohio ever need really team I think probably I think either since your Cleveland since he was a clowns. I know the clowns. clowns were a team I think there were Ohio,

Zac Saleski:

Cincinnati and Cleveland had

Murph:

charge I can't look it up right now as I look it up. It kind of bothered me but yeah, I know Ohio, Ohio had a team but I can't remember probably a couple you know, because Jackie Robinson was in for a while No. Okay. Yeah, sure. I think so that night it's

Zac Saleski:

it's actually Jackie what one of his first actually won his very first house was through Kansas City. Oh, nice before he got started bounced around the different teams. That's how all that stuff started. But that's one of the coolest spots and then kind of like Ohio if you guys ever get a chance to go out there but there's a bunch of the smaller towns outside of it. There's obviously you have the Lewis and Clark expedition like trail so everything kind of comes out there and if you guys follow the my YouTube channel, too, you'll see there's a lot of other stuff in my hometown that kind of I mean, actually has actually the Mormon, Mormon thing happen.

Murph:

Is it all sort of Missouri where they had like the blue family with people with the rare blue I don't know just make it sound like I thought they thought they found their way in Missouri at some point dude. Rates Mormon because isn't that where they thought the Garden of Eden was located in Missouri?

Zac Saleski:

No so they were working their way actually know the Prophet Joseph Smith is working his way out west because he kept getting like pushed out of all these states. And so there's this belief with Mormons and this I didn't even realize this till like, couple years ago, I was like, a lot of my friends were Mormon, like What the hell's going on? And I realized I realized that

Murph:

you know, relays are wearing white shirt and black tie

Zac Saleski:

wear name tags if you had time, I always have time What the hell's wrong with you? Like they come out with like, oh, I would love to play they just take off like their pants and like like little like short slacks. You wouldn't watch the rest of development. They start playing basketball

Murph:

oh my gosh was where they're all named Jebediah right and we received that No, I think it's the Talk videos where it's like the extreme north Mormons because they what what is it? They're always known to ride scooters. Like it was like Okay brother Jebediah I'm gonna do this it'll be like they're jumping over staircases and shit all for the power of the Lord or whatever from the Mormon religion. So funny

Zac Saleski:

anyway. But it's cool thing is like out there. I think there's a belief that Mormons like you know, wherever a profit stopped for X amount of time, that's where we should live that so we can get spiritual awakening. Do your thing. Judge whatever but I'm like, because Joseph Smith was jailed there were his beliefs. I didn't know that part of that guy back in the day. Yeah, late 1800s and early on everyone back then. Yeah, basically. So that whole thing and there's so much history in those areas and even outside of it but also to the independence was like one of the last major stops before they head west. Yeah, for the Oregon Trail. True. So it just there's a lot of crazy histories. I

Murph:

realized the unique thing about the United States is you could pretty much go to any state and you can find a lot of interesting things like a lot of interesting stuff happen like obviously New York, Miami, all that stuff going to be towards hotbeds but it's great that you can kind of go off the beaten path these other states like can't sleep on can't can't sleep on Kansas City like a lot of cool stuff. They're doing this they have a World War One monument there too. It's really good museums. Yeah, they have proud islands to

Zac Saleski:

one of the very few I think the only other ones probably out in France. Yeah,

Murph:

yeah, World War One is not really a big thing. Yeah. My thesis paper was like now I don't think Canada has

Zac Saleski:

they for well for years they they finally got the funding to redo the memorial. It's actually right in front of Union Station out in Kansas City they have this huge obelisk looking type of thing and it's basically just a World War World War One monument and but they have a museum they added into it I went there on my YouTube channel videos it was it the thing is phenomenal on the inside it's crazy and how in depth it gets oh my god it's definitely worth the money. It's awesome but I'll do that has so much like artifacts and stuff but sick but you just you don't get to you don't get stuff like that anywhere else. The one thing that is why I was getting a little sassy with the damn chips. They're always so

Murph:

damn gays chips who can

Zac Saleski:

tell me where these these chips actually oh god I realized that So years later, so they actually got bought out by a distributing firm in Columbus ironically, okay, when I was still living out in Missouri, that's where so that's you they used to be made in my hometown and they were I see him all the time as a kid but I didn't realize till back then they said they were the one the very very first companies ever make the barbeque flavored chips. Okay, cuz they're known for barbecue out there. So they started doing that and then they're one of a couple that started with the sour cream and onion and then they just came out with one it was like french fry seasoning because they partnered up with some local Barbecue Shop and I'm like gosh,

Murph:

sounds like to me just sounds like salt is long Salty. Salty has potato and salt.

Zac Saleski:

Potato Polish special right?

Murph:

Salt potatoes. Thank

Zac Saleski:

you sir. Yep, but now there's there's so much stuff out there and I was almost having a mental breakdown because I saw there's an update was a couple things like last week. They just had update on the new airport out there. I'm like,

Murph:

damn, yeah, that's very, the it's not very impressive. Yeah, it's the weirdest thing I've ever seen. Like, I don't know how to explain this properly. But it's like it's three roundabout Yeah, but it's like to get into the airport. It's like it's basically just like a half moon. And then it's like you walk in and you can hit multiple different TSA agents, TSA gates and then once you get through that you're just there like it's there. You're there like there's not really a lot of like restaurants or anything like it was like I even thought about getting like something chiefs or even I was like looking for your chips in the airport and all that and I was like they have jack shit here like it was literally like the most like overproduced airport stuff they had and then you like go upstairs on the second level and that's where we meet my boss had lunch. We had some pretty good barbecue up They're

Zac Saleski:

no so it's like kind of what Merced but it's like we call like the procrastinators paradise almost. Oh yeah. Because it's like you could my dad is like my dad used to travel all the time but he always told me like I can be from where I used to live growing up. It was like maybe, I don't know. 30 minutes. Yeah, I could drive 30 minutes Park get into my gate and be fine. Yeah, I feel like there was

Murph:

like, it's never very busy. It just doesn't seem like it's ever even was I guess its busiest. It was like, you can still find parking and all that because it's like because it's half moon is like the parkings in the middle. You just walk in like it's like the best. Yeah. And, and there's a bunch of roundabouts. So there's no lights, so it's just just going through roundabouts. And it's like, next thing you know, it's like, oh, we're hanging on the roundabout looks like wait, no, wait, this is a parking. You can park here now. And I was like, Oh, we're in the turret We're in. We're in the drop off. You walk in and we're like, Okay, here's a TSA go through. They're like, okay, like, Oh, we're in the terminal. Now like, we're here. Like, it was just like that was it like, it sounds the best way to explain it is the airfield is the biggest part of that. Like, there's a lot of runways and all that but the airport itself where you get like how it was before your flight is very small. It's weird. And I'm

Zac Saleski:

not saying this because I'm biased but like I've flown a lot of different places that's still probably when the easiest aisle super easiest accessible, I will pay for it. But it's like it's it's a coolest thing. Because when you drive in initially, you have like three exits for those three half. So half moods, so one's gonna be like, you're like TWA used to be the biggest. Oh, yeah. Now the biggest person that they used to help there, that's why it doesn't look busy anymore. So that was southwest used to be big. And then but yeah, so it's like the one area is a car a domestic flight, Southwest TD TWA, whatever. The next one was like, alright, Delta American. And then the third one would be like, alright, international flights. Yeah. So it's like, yeah, you park right in the middle, get your stuff your walk cross street, bam, you're there right check in you'll be dealing like damn,

Murph:

did you tell me story was the story that there was because I was thinking International. There's a big one population there because it was like they all went there for factory jobs after one of the wars and because of Vietnamese Vietnamese like that. Whereas like the oldest ended up in Kansas City for some weird reason. Yeah, there's

Zac Saleski:

there's a weird like Vietnamese population. Is it? Yeah,

Murph:

it was like after the Vietnam War, or whatever they did, like a lot of them emigrated over, I think after the Americans left, and they just kind of all ended up in Kansas City. Somehow there's like a small Vietnam or something in Kansas City. It was weird. Yeah.

Zac Saleski:

Vietnamese, and little bit of Taiwanese. Yeah. And there

Murph:

maybe it's like not Mongol? I can't remember. But it was something like that was a weird like, Asian Southeast Asian country, whereas like, Rose Yeah, where it's like it's like a weird population of a biggest finance cabinet even like how the Somali population here in Ohio like it's weird how some of these countries settle in certain areas where it's either because it reminds them of their homeland or they just came for certain jobs and they stay a man. Yeah, it was it was fun. It's

Zac Saleski:

it's fun because I look back now I'm like, you know, it makes sense. Because I never really saw a whole lot of Chinese was always Vietnamese. There were the craziest funniest people ever. They'd be like, all mister, there was go to my dad, like Mr. Paul. I'm like, Oh my god. The hell's happening? And they're always like, wanting to like get you to go out and party and drink. I'm like the hell These people are nuts. I like him. Right? It's like, Yeah, you get those you get those kinds of people like the the Vietnamese and then a lot of Mexicans and different kinds of Yeah, well, they just ended up there. But it's a good city.

Murph:

Good. It was one of

Zac Saleski:

the biggest stamp of

Murph:

approval. That's all I did. I wouldn't say biggest but yes, I gave you a very good stamp of approval. I will I will. I will unfortunately have to be honest. And I will say if you are paying money and taking the risk to come to America Yeah, unfortunately you know, New York Miami, probably like LA or San Jose like you know, ghosts go stop those places. But if you can like backpack through the US, definitely Kansas City I would I would strongly recommend can make it one Stop that

Zac Saleski:

crap. Like if you're flying or national. You guys always go to the same place in New York and Chicago. And I mean, if

Murph:

you've never been there should go at least once. It's a good thing to experience once. Yeah, it's kind of like it's kind of like saying like, you weren't gonna go to Germany and not go to Berlin. Like you kind of got to do it. Like it's like, the country identifies by like, well, sorry, Germany, you know, you probably don't identify by that.

Zac Saleski:

Like all Berlin. Yeah, it's crazy.

Murph:

Right? Yeah, they probably be like, yeah, go to colo, or whatever. But I'm just like, close. Wait, yeah, he's that. Yeah. Or Bavaria? Like I don't I know. Bavaria is not a it's a it's a state,

Zac Saleski:

but he's the only one I would say overseas. Like, that would be like don't go it's Paris. Yeah,

Murph:

no, I hear that. I hear that a lot. Unfortunately. I think as I told you, if I went to Europe, I wouldn't stay there but I would do like a day trip there and then get the fuck out. Yeah, yeah. But like, I feel like if I'm in France, I gotta do it. Like you just gotta do it. Like it's

Zac Saleski:

just drive right through. Oh, this is nice. I like

Murph:

to see the Louvre even though it's super busy like to see that they do have some museums and stuff. I'd like to see you guys see the Eiffel Tower my decks bigger but can I see them? What's our and yeah,

Zac Saleski:

I'll keep traveling east to Europe and Germany. Then get right get to often. Go watch the vampires play football.

Murph:

The what? A football team of vampires. Yeah,

Unknown:

we played in my first year. I was kind of hilarious. What was there?

Murph:

Was there a symbol that was a very

Zac Saleski:

rustic V?

Murph:

Oh gosh. You're What are you doing? Here's what are you doing the worst team name ever? Amen there's worse I guess they I guess they're on Team Collins back in the day like Jesus Team Jacob Burke right like kind of record has ruined me right there I don't know why that are just so I'm sure people will be like, oh well you've got a hockey team called the crack and like that I don't know why it works but the vampires like seriously like

Zac Saleski:

don't mess with the other one. The fighting farmers

Murph:

that I kind of respect I do not know what it is about vampires. It just kind of seems very like seriously Yeah, let's go with the pirates then just do something like vampires is such a weird thing and anything if a empires traveling groups they're all loners that put you evoke it right oh my gosh. Yeah, it sounds like a bunch of people are haunting

Zac Saleski:

was it was a big daddy's like that's him was blushing with his father was shut up. Oh my that's a prerequisite for never seen a guest

Murph:

Yeah, I don't know why. I don't know why that triggered me all of a sudden I was just really weird and we have some very stupid farm team baseball teams in the US but true vampires just were really weird hit me in a really bad spot right there that was weird. I want to pick me up we're gonna go to Aachen ever I guess not know if that if it's for failing cross that one off the list? Was it like bombed World War Two that's why they're vampires like what like I just don't get

Zac Saleski:

it the whole area basically was the march right actually, it's probably like the area where these marches right through

Murph:

okay, didn't know that actually. Wait, that's my That sounds fun. I was like oh, that sounds very familiar. Is it a c h e n Yeah. Is that here the battle the bulge probably might have been ordained forest and all that that

Zac Saleski:

was actually the gateway before they got to like the northwest part of Germany. Steel Yep. And yeah, I for like the borders and

Murph:

Alex you've got a stupid football team name.

Zac Saleski:

And that's why you guys were relegated that's where you can now enjoy exam. I went way too hard.

Murph:

We did we really do. bashed out on him pretty well. Brother like their fifth league leave alone. They're already dead. Stop beating them. beating a dead kid even get lower than fifth League. Yeah.

Zac Saleski:

What's the lowest seventh

Murph:

here? Gosh, yeah. Is there anything lower than that college

Zac Saleski:

league out? Well, that's not different universities. Yeah,

Murph:

that's a but yeah, so they barely get paid. Gotcha. Barely, right.

Zac Saleski:

That's really a lot of clubs actually come out of in Germany. They start as club kind of concepts from but sponsored by universities and they kind of like roll out of that. Get their own sponsorships and money then.

Murph:

Yeah, somebody's got to do it. Someone's got to do it. True. True. damn true. And we should probably talk about our sponsors the hidden vampires. Right coming in, but don't stay out all night. Gosh, was it like on the border of Transylvania like I'm just trying to this vampires things really throw me over

Zac Saleski:

France and Germany. I want

Murph:

at least it was the year like Romania that okay Transylvania was like kind of there and you know, it's Dracula, so it's like vampires make sense? But no, just doesn't just doesn't No, no, no, not here. No.

Zac Saleski:

Oh, I do this every week. We're just like I started spouting off different teenagers from like Germany show piss off Murph right now. I mean, I thought I thought the new elf team was it Helvetic guard would have pissed him off I guess not

Murph:

I didn't really hate that and he's that was in Switzerland so it kind of made sense. Such a long name though. Oh, very long, but I feel like it's not the guard part. It's the city part which like they don't have any control over that true yeah, it's not like his vet or whatever the heck you just said Hills medic Helvetic wasn't like a term they made up like there's some sort of Lord of the Rings special elfish guard or something like Oh, actually I just got really cool yeah the vampire changer names you've got a great chance here that actually really sick I'm sure

Zac Saleski:

looking dope name right the Elven guard Fuck yeah.

Murph:

ticketless Oh that would be awesome. Holy shit that actually really cool

Zac Saleski:

black forest in Germany get a team that's that's all he'll

Murph:

if it's Black Forest and they gotta be the gummy bears.

Zac Saleski:

sort of guy who played a damn gummy bear.

Murph:

Hilarious. Oh, yeah, that would work should definitely do that. We try to definitely do that try

Zac Saleski:

to anchor cell so we actually come up with the best fucking

Murph:

changer podcasts now to obscure German football team names. We're coming up with them. We're finding out about them. We're doing all the funds

Zac Saleski:

please send us your your city so we can shit on them for 20 minutes. Exactly.

Murph:

I think we went way longer than 20 minutes on that vampire thing. That one did that one derailed a little that one got off the tracks.

Zac Saleski:

You know, it's sort of that Canadian Tiktok or who always stops at random cities. Oh, yeah. There's always something to do.

Murph:

Leroy Leroy. Leroy, he's Leroy. Do

Zac Saleski:

we should do that? Cities where we just find something to get really angry. I

Murph:

don't we kind of do that when we go in our small towns kind of yeah, like I usually rant about some stupid

Zac Saleski:

answer by any college. There you go. Oh my gosh. Yeah. accepting transfers now

Murph:

yeah for the love of God and cash fund them

Zac Saleski:

please

Murph:

fund them Do you want to agree but only want to go for two years to ego

Zac Saleski:

yeah to two months

Murph:

yeah get your bachelor's degree Yeah. Do you want half your campuses buildings to be condemned? There you go.

Zac Saleski:

Big Ass greenhouse was huge. I used to be our gym but we just grow things in there

Murph:

now. Oh gosh. Yeah. Oh, it needs a football team. That'd be it.

Zac Saleski:

I looked at the requirements cuz I was just curious to see what's going on over there.

Murph:

Gotta breathe what probably just have to breathe as your requirement like sure it's hard to get to community college compared to that one.

Zac Saleski:

Look this the the majors I was like, What the hell is this crap? No wonder you're in debt. Right? It's like, it's gonna sound really bad. SJW activism activism, gosh, Gender Studies.

Murph:

It's great for a woke culture, but like, how's that gonna put food on the table? Like how you gonna make money off that?

Zac Saleski:

A lot of sounds? Yeah, I

Murph:

know. It sounds really bad. But like how I guess that's it HR. Like, yeah, like, he could become a community activist. But like, that's like love HR. Yeah, culture. Oh my gosh, yeah.

Zac Saleski:

I do it. Aquaponics man.

Murph:

Oh my gosh, yeah, I guess like that old person. That old guy, the alum that we've met, where he's like, oh, yeah, my one friend came here just to goof off for four years and then he decided to become a doctor in New York and went to another school and we're like, oh, and he's like yeah, he's like a top four doctor and all of New York now like okay,

Zac Saleski:

I guarantee he's not giving any money to that college. Oh, no. No, no, no. Smoke weed so I transfer NYU the hell of that right

Murph:

like on anything you transfer that you just graduated from? There was some weird degree and there's like he was able to go back to school

Zac Saleski:

that was even looking for history just I was like, You know what can't be like that demand he was just there's no basic history. He was like literally anything but the normal stuff. The Fringe majors.

Murph:

Er, yeah, you you are going there as a certain they are definitely typecast that they're who they are and it's not a mature the population that goes there is not a very diverse one. It's probably very like minded individuals.

Zac Saleski:

I don't know why we're so like, pissed off about this college actually.

Murph:

I guess that's it because they label themselves as an accredited academic, university academic academia and I'm like, this is the things that fuck Americans over like, is like, going there for higher education. It's like no, you're going there to get coddled waste a shit ton of money and be fucked for the rest of your life like it really like to me that's this Ponzi scam right there. I understand you could probably learn some great things about the world there but it's like with nowadays with what college is really preparing you and even Miami was questionable at moments but like there are still aspects of that that I carry with me in my career. I feel like what you've just what we've just talked about what that school and what that school is kind of built on has nothing a credible that will help you when you realize that who I need to work a real job that puts food on the table and keeps the lights on as I say living in my brother's home that makes millions of dollars bare minimum rent. So yes, my history degree has taken me a lot of great places in the world. Well heaps about at least I like to think I'm confident enough that like I'm good to go but I just I just don't know how you're applying for jobs at Antioch and say my major was sex ed studies or something on them being like, you're definitely what we need for accounting like it's just like I like like you said maybe HR but even that's a hard stretch nowadays like because they're going to be super there'll be PC but they're also going to be super one minded and in those be like can you be open minded enough to listen to a HR problem and make a justified decision that's best for the company? Like that's Yeah herbology

Zac Saleski:

professors gonna be an Alan Kay their professors Pro

Murph:

as I say, okay, they're Harry Potter.

Zac Saleski:

Okay, there Yeah,

Murph:

Harry Potter. I mean, I'm sure you know what actually that's probably what needs to happen is once we legalize weed then all there they'll probably have a great call that studies where it's like no, there's always that we just kind of like planted in the ground and grew up but it's like a whole science behind it like it's crazy. So I imagine they have a major for that and they will make lots of money once it because

Zac Saleski:

it can't equip me right. That's like, was overland when we weren't same kind of the same thing? Except they actually had like they had art and stuff. Yeah, they should have good art. Right and like actually theater program,

Murph:

things that weren't like yeah, it's things that weren't based on prejudice or bias like you actually like there was like facts behind it instead of just being like no, this is what I want to believe like, you know,

Zac Saleski:

a little weird afterwards when you saw the was a PETA was out there.

Murph:

Oh my gosh, like, oh, gosh,

Zac Saleski:

what was a lot in theory there.

Murph:

Oh, yeah, that was weird. No, no, that was a different I was the last one we went to.

Zac Saleski:

Yeah, it was Oh, yeah. Oberlin

Murph:

Hey, sorry, sorry. Yeah. Yeah, the mask Yeah, oh, were that they weren't even saying anything. They're just holding signs and like you say they're playing videos of animals getting slaughtered or

Zac Saleski:

something? Yeah, they're just standing there and then stop. I don't know. It's just

Murph:

like, at least Oberlin. Like you talked like we talked about Oberlin like, had some stuff there. Like it made sense like, you know, They had a beautiful museum that's like okay, they're teaching the history of art and the reasons behind it and shit wasn't like just make it up shit being like this is what we want to do because the world is a scary place and this is what I want to learn.

Zac Saleski:

Like it just shows course programs. Yeah, I

Murph:

remember Yeah, actually. Did you see their basket? I think one of the murals was like their basketball team and apparently their basketball team did really well one year I think that was one year yeah, but I remember you saying that a football team that was like yeah, that's on the lower scale but it was okay but yeah,

Zac Saleski:

that's what these schools are about

Unknown:

just okay yeah, just just exist this is

Zac Saleski:

why we do this crap we got small towns we like that

Murph:

weird don't actually don't hate it. That's where I feel bad that for those wondering I don't know if we'll be able to get to any next month like that's what I liked about when we go do it in October because he the small towns would like they love the fall festivals so they would just be all decked out for Halloween whereas in these big cities it's kind of like kind of forget they forget about it.

Zac Saleski:

Yeah big time of year honestly.

Murph:

Yeah, I've honestly feel like the small towns don't care about the summer they care about the fall this is their time like they know like this is what they draw the tourists This is how they do you know all their little local scary stuff like do far from here like that Circleville pumpkin show like that's pretty much the only reason that town exists like it just like Yeah, cuz

Zac Saleski:

you got you got Circleville then you got Yeah, what's the other one? Fairborn Arias right Fairborn has got one of the very very few golf was like a Halloween store. So like they actually have a whole like Halloween kind of convention. Yep. kind of centered around their store. So that's that's one way to do that.

Murph:

Yeah. Well, maybe we'll see if we can squeeze one of that. Let's squeeze that in next month.

Zac Saleski:

good squeeze. Good sweet Damn. Yeah, we burned through that we

Murph:

did actually that was a Yeah, that was very unscripted as always like I feel like we are I feel weird that we're able to sum up our long absence in just over an hour. I feel like though I feel like life delivered us more right I think like delivered us more but I can't really remember right now besides football seasons back up so Zach's half of the chiefs are playing Yeah, yeah,

Zac Saleski:

I stressed myself out it's fair. It's like that perfect time of year where you got we're kind of middle of the season that he got right into kind of leaning into like the colder months a little bit a little nippy was in the in the Halloween so it's kind of like it's like that perfect blend right now

Murph:

I'm sure a lot of people are like this is global warming you should be freaking out but I love that I feel like in years past we would right now be going through spurts of heat and then cold so I'd always get sick and right now we have just dropped and it's been awesome it's just been drop jeans and hoodie weather which is like my favorite. So yeah, so just like mid 60s low 60s Every day it's been amazing a little bit sunny sometimes rain which sucks but I would rather that then I feel like in falls past October has been like ridiculously warm and things like that. Like I can remember even being kid trick or treating being barely able to wear my costumes. I'd be like sweating out of that like it was like in late through so it's like now it's gotten like kind of cold in the night like tonight is gonna be like 47 Like it's old. Yeah, 47 degrees Fahrenheit, which is like oh yeah, which I don't know it's like maybe like 10 degrees Celsius or something like that. So I'm gonna try to convert it I don't know. Yeah, but I do actually this will be interesting so hockey started preseason I do have a hot take for you get your opinion to my brother and his first preseason home game got the A on his jersey. So assistant captain a Yeah. So he sent us a picture. We're all freaking out. And he said that he thinks it's going to be the same thing. And I think we've talked about this in podcasts that a past what he thinks is gonna be the same thing this season that he's only going to get it for away games and not for home games. So I don't know if they do this in football. But what are your thoughts of when they don't keep the same assistant captain, depending on the venue, stupid, I agree. It's like, I can't believe how ridiculous it is. It's like having a side check. It's kind of like we like your leadership and we want to give you this but we don't want to do it in front of our fans. And it's just like, that makes no sense to me. Like I just don't understand. It's like either shit or get off the pot. Like I don't get it. And at the I guess well, at the end of the day, it's get off. Oh, yeah. But at the end of the day, I guess it's it's all about Jersey sales. But it's just ridiculous to me where it's just like it's make a decision like what's the point is like football

Zac Saleski:

football does this where it's like you pick your coaches have different like ways of doing it, but usually smart ways like either one offense one defense one special teams or like, you know, to offense or to defense, special teams or whatever. So I was like, kind of hit or miss on that. But yeah, I don't understand that. Especially if you're trying to build like, you know, continuity and trust and leadership, stuff like that. I don't understand that. Like, oh, hey, we're in or in Edmonton,

Murph:

so yeah, well, it's just only on the road. So no matter where they go on the road,

Zac Saleski:

nobody else wants it. It's the weirdest thing

Murph:

to me and I understand it's a privilege to be a professional athlete and they're just happy to be there but I'd be slightly being like why just on the road like why like, why give it almost why give it to me at all, but I guess some people would be like, I'd rather have it than not I'm a little different. I guess that it was kind of the same thing when I was pitched the idea of playing travel hockey or playing high school hockey, like I could have played at a lower level and been a god at high school, but like I didn't want that I want the best competition. And I don't want I'm not trying to boast but I'm being real here high school hockey and some of them are probably listening being like Look, Utah there that's I disagree. No, trust me when I say this high school hockey in Ohio, it's on his way, but it's not there. Like he's just not there. And when you played the travel levels I played at like I could have definitely dominated in high school hockey, but I didn't want to do that because I would rather have played at higher levels and order my way and and played against the best and to do that, so it'd be the same thing for this assistant thing. I'd kind of be like, either get it all the time, or I don't get it. Like I don't I don't want this weird back and forth. Like

Zac Saleski:

this point where it's like, he gets about four or five years and he's like, Alright, give me this shit. Or, you know, get the hell on my face. Yeah, he doesn't care like what what status he's at and on the team he's like, I'm gonna I'm gonna get this shit put on my jersey. I'm fucking around

Murph:

and while the goalie so we never got letters, but like, and I believe in them some like, you got to see. We all Yeah, well, I got a huge argument about once my coaches. They're like, we want to give our goalie a letter. And I'm like, I totally disagree with it. And they're like, why don't like these goalies should be naturally leaders because they see everything so they should communicate. They should chat. And I think at the end of the day, that's what it is like, that should do it. They shouldn't need that recognition. I didn't get it. So does. Two boys are really weird. So not everyone on the team. Yeah, so it's like you kind of need that. So I mean, whatever. If you want to give it to goalie, that's fine. But that's just my personal belief when I'm on a team, but I only get one vote. There's a lot of other coaches so they can decide but that's my argument. But yeah, I was very proud obviously. Yeah, obviously I'm happy for my brother and he wants to do that. I will pack them but dammit Chicago Blackhawks just give it to them for the home and away games. I don't see why we want to play these games right now. I don't see it here that Yeah, first take calls in your court live or lead die. Exactly. Wow. Geez All right. Go America.
