Not good. It's nice knowing you. Yeah I mean what are you gonna do? Whoever wants to sponsor the Friend of Jerry's show, you know just give me a DM. Save the show. Save the show. Now I think we'll be all right for now, Kev. Yeah, we're good. Maybe 50 episodes in, you know, if we do another, |
| 1:27.3 | the next 25 have no, you know, ads or anything like that, we'll probably be done, though. Maybe we'll just take it into our own hands and give ourselves a sponsor one. Can you sponsor your own show? Yeah. Like if I went to the bank and like, hey here is twenty five gay uh... we're gonna sponsor for the cherry for the next |
| 1:44.1 | four weeks is the same as some time for the jury presented by jersey |
| 1:48.6 | that be funny. All right, well we're back. We're back in the office. Pittsburgh trip. What's going on with that, Kevin? We did that. Tell them the details of that. What's going on? I think it was awesome, right? Yeah. I think it was the, you good? |
| 2:05.8 | Yeah. |
| 2:06.3 | All right. No, it was a good trip. Super fun. I think it was for me to one of the best weekends I've had working here. I can't even imagine how much fun you've had there. And you're not a Steelers fan? No, I don't even know, not even remotely. But you know, the opposite of the Steelers fan. very much so, very much so. |
| 2:25.0 | But when you get out there, it's different. |
| 2:28.1 | When you meet those guys like outside you know on the field you can think whatever you want But it's like at the end of the day. These are all really good people. You know, oh yeah Everyone we met was was awesome and the game itself was Everything you could have asked for. Oh, yeah, yeah and more. I mean unbelievable. I mean Hello Oh, did it really all right? Thanks you that baseball that softball just landed that I hit they just called me and told me They just called me and told me to softball just landing right now It was a bomb. I just fell for that one It's just completely full. It was a bomb, no you nuked it. That's a swing heard around what somebody said something. Oh, man Babe roots The great band being band being all right, right somebody comes in a video saying The great J there being Yeah, dude, you nuked it. I think yeah, I was watching back though the episode we put out Last Monday, which that episode came out of weird time because we were like prepping for the Yeah, yeah, it'd have been nice to have that After the game, but that's just not the way it was gonna happen We predict or you predicted I did you said you're gonna go like three for four I thought I was getting like four at that And then I said some are you said three for five and then I was like I mean like a three for four I don't know if you'll get five at that you got one one at that They put me last in the lineup right and I had no it was a three or four in game right right yeah Four I think four or five and then the last out was the girl who was ahead of me. She grounded out. I would have been up next. |
| 4:06.4 | Um, so I would have got two at that. |
| 4:07.9 | But didn't happen to end the game. |
| 4:09.6 | She grounded out. |
| 4:10.7 | I got one at that one for one with a home run, which probably is the best case scenario. Yeah. Easily the best case scenario. Cause then, you know, we don't care about the singles or don't know. and then I entered the home run derby I hit two home runs yeah you have five |
| 4:24.9 | pitches right in the home run derby And that's it five pitches and I swung at like three of them two of them were home runs Yes, and you know unfortunately the home run derby went by which team hit the most home runs And it was only like three people from each team obviously you know they won if it was an individual thing ah it was an individual i can't recall for my show anyway keep going if it was an individual contest uh you would have gone into a swing off yeah if yes exactly because i think Alex high smith had two home runs right he had two bombs yeah we would have went into a little swing off but that but that didn't happen a couple changes coming to the to the friend of Jerry show. I think we're gonna release on Monday still, but I think we will release somewhere around nine o'clock, Kev. Yeah. We'll do nine o'clock, friend of Jerry. We wanna start getting into some segment-based stuff, right, we talked on that. You know, like every week we'll have specific, you know, a couple different segments. One thing we really want is, and don't be shy. Every week to close out the show, we want to at least do two or three questions from, you know, fans of the show, people in sobriety, you know, even people struggling. We won't say your name if you don't want to be mentioned or anything like that uh... we want to do that at the end of each show so people kind of you know no no you know that the shows common you know the questions yeah boom we answer them and then we keep a moving so we want to do that another thing we're getting into is this uh And this was just my idea. Every single week, once a week, me and Kevin, Kevin will be in the Zoom. We wanted to do Monday night, but we talked about it and it probably won't work Monday night because of Monday night football. So we got to pick a different day and it probably can't be Thursday. So it's gonna have to be on a Tuesday. Wednesday, yeah. So I think Tuesday's best because what we want to do is I'm gonna hold a Zoom and it's gonna be strictly kind of like an A-A and a type of meeting. But more chill, you know what I mean? Yeah, and I think Tuesday's good because then you get friend of Jerry on Monday Exactly you can get this exactly exactly so it's kind of it's kind of gonna work like this You know episode drops Monday, you know what I mean you guys can watch it on YouTube Tuesday We're gonna do like a separate zoom I'll probably end up posting it on the friend of Jerry Twitter friend of Jerry Instagram So if you don't, go follow those. The link will be there every week. We'll drop it like Tuesday morning and then again Tuesday afternoon or night before we start the meeting. Yeah, and the link to follow Friend of Jerry will be in the bio of this video. Exactly. So make sure you go follow Twitter, Instagram if you want to participate in the in the private kind of zoom and let me say this I think the ways this will work is like we'll kind of do it at like one at one at a time, right? You know, I'll share a little bit talk about the latest episode. I'll give people time to share whatever they're going through You know what I mean if you don't want your camera on in the zoom That's fine. You don't have to have your camera on I wanted to do this because it's it's more personal, you know what I mean? It's it's more personal and it gives people the chance for their voice to be heard Gives people the chance to take advice from me or even other people in the Zoom that have time and sobriety, you know what I mean? |
| 8:06.4 | Or people can talk about whatever they really want but I kinda really wanna surround it around the sobriety. Yeah, and it'll be cool too cause I'll open up the door for maybe even some cool guest speakers and we can bring in people that have other opinions as well. For sure, yeah, I'm sure like a brand in Novak be more than happy to come on. Absolutely. Half hour, 30 minutes, whatever. I think it's good. |
| 8:28.9 | So some change. For sure, yeah, I'm sure like a brand in Novak would be more than happy to come on for half hour, 30 minutes, whatever. I think it's good. So, some changes are going to be made, but good things ahead. The only thing changing with friend of Jerry is that this is now going to come out at 9. Exactly. Give our listeners some time to sleep. Exactly, because we've noticed that it comes out very early and I want to do that for the people who wake up early to get the day started |
| 8:47.1 | But it's just you know, I feel like it's not It's not hitting the same, you know, I mean it's not really hitting the same. So, you know We're gonna we're gonna try until it works You know if it doesn't work we'll go back or switch another time, you know I mean you gotta keep trying these things, you know Kev's been doing a really good job with the thumbnails. |
| 9:05.2 | That's what you call those things, right? |
| 9:07.2 | Yes. |
| 9:08.2 | Those are really good for YouTube. |
| 9:09.2 | And let's not forget. I mean, you gotta keep trying these things, you know? Kev's been doing a really good job with the thumbnails. |
