I like that. What did you say about James? Like, he's not necessarily anyone's favorite,

0:04.0

but his burgers are so good that he's invited. Oh, yeah. Like, there's people in my family that

0:10.2

really, he won't hear it. Right. I don't think there's some people that don't care for him,

0:14.6

but those burgers are so good. It doesn't matter. And you got to email the week before so you can

0:19.2

reserve one because he won't make extras.

0:21.2

You can't put condiments on it.

0:22.8

But that's like a thing. And then I think what bonds is, it said, Maryland just sucks at football. Oh, yeah. So there's only so many families that have been had these tickets that have been tailgating for 30 years. Yeah. It's been that long. Yeah. Wow. Because we were doing it, hell, when I was in grade school.

0:19.3

Okay.

0:19.9

Growing up for me, it was Jack Dempsey.

0:21.6

So he was my cousin.

0:22.9

All right. long? Yeah. Wow. Because we were doing it, hell, when I was in grade school.

0:37.8

Okay.

1:28.6

Growing up for me, it was Jack Dempsey. So he was my cousin. All right. That's a long, long since passed. Yeah. But, you know, I didn't really, it didn't really mean anything to me growing up because my boxing was, there's Mohammed Ali on television. Exactly. Exactly. By this point in time, Jack Dempsey, who was, he was at one point in time a heavyweight champion. But I mean, this is the black and white days. As far as like, you know, they even have gloves. I never saw a box because you would never see something like that on television. I'm not even sure they filmed that stuff, really wasn't even televised. That put up your dukes kind of stuff, you like, he was on, like, cigar boxes. Yep, yep. Just strange things that you'd see, like, they'd have him, you know, as like as a spokesperson or whatever the deal is. So I saw some of that stuff. But, yeah, that was my grandmother's cousin, but they're very, like, first cousin. He was, like, the famous guy in town. He was the guy that made it. And like boxing was probably just as popular as baseball then. I mean, baseball was America's pastime, but boxing

1:34.4

was bigger than basketball. Oh, yeah. I mean, football was somewhat popular. But I hadn't taken

1:39.6

off yet. But with the military, boxing was huge. Yeah. That's that's what that's what people did. And boxing was huge in West Virginia. So the only way I really knew Jack Dempsey was when I got a fish tank, somebody named a fish after him. Okay? The Jack Dempsey, right? The Jack Dempsey. And it looks like a little Oscar. So in my mind, it's like George Foreman. You ask a group of people about George Foreman, they'll say, I had that girl in college.

2:03.6

Yep, it'll be the girl.

2:04.6

They don't know anything about it. Just like with your son and John Mann. They don't even know he wanted to say. Dad! Did you know he was a person? I'm like, mad? Yeah, but... Poor guy, I mean, Jesus, he's a disease now.

1:58.8

He's a disease.

1:59.4

So, you know, you don't know what your legacy is going to be.

2:02.1

My cousin, heavyweight champion of the world, he's a disease now. He's a disease. So, you know, you don't know what your legacy is going to be. My cousin, heavyweight champion of the world, he's a fish. Right. Which is a little weird. I will say, like Madden's legacy is great. By the way, did you know his nickname was Kid Blackie? Kid Blackie? Yeah. Oh, him too, huh. Well, do they say why?

2:31.3

My grandmother family leaned a little Puerto Rican more. Really? Yeah. I guess back then, like that was going to be your nickname. Hey, look at him. Kid Blackie. Yeah, yeah. Puerto Rican. Close enough. Right. Well, I mean, in fairness, we do it with Canelo. That just means cinnamon in Spanish. His name is Saul Averas.

3:07.7

But the thing is, look, not speaking Spanish, I just thought his name was Canello. Yeah. And like I said, it's a red-headed Mexican guy who, until you hear him speak, looks like an Irish. He kind of looked like Babe Ruth. And he had that, look at that look to him. And then when I heard him speak, I'm like, this does not make sense.
