Great to be here, and great to have you here. The program is presented by our pals at FanDuel. All right.
So my thanks to Derek Carr. It's been a minute since we ran him down. Really good to see him. Really good to get caught up with him. He was always great in coming on the program when he played, and sounds like he's in a really good place.
I wanted to ask him specifically about Bob Chesney. Think about Bob Chesney. He to me. I mean, he's this year's it guy, but to me, he's the most compelling coach in college football because one, he just wins wherever he goes. He's somewhat miraculous wherever he goes.
But I mean, every coach talks culture, every coach talks about development, every coach talks about process. Every coach has his great ambition. I mean, these guys are all kind of wired similarly, right?
So what is it about Bob Chesney? What's his separation? How is he so different? How did he get UCLA to believe? How did he get them to flip that culture?
It's not like he inherited a hell of a lot there. You know, James Madison he got players, but coming to UCLA and yes, he brought some guys with him, but this is UCLA. They were dead in the water. And they're undefeated, and they look like they're a team that could make the college football playoff. I mean, what is it about this dude that was not thought to be a very good job?
And you know why? It wasn't a very good job. Not great resources, not great commitment. They hadn't had success in a long time, and this dude steps right in and flips the entire thing.
Now, time will tell. But the fact that they're unbeaten right now already tells you all you need to know. He's done an amazing job, so I wanted to get there, but ran out of time. Derek Carr, I thought was really interesting. Also, when he said, "You know, isn't it interesting that there's a reason why guys like me and Philip Rivers are still getting telephone calls?" So you've got this quarterback development situation on the college level, but very clearly you have a quarterback situation on the NFL level.
He said it himself because I'm still getting calls. Philip Rivers is still getting calls. Hell, you know Tom Brady would still be getting calls if you weren't in the situation that he's in as an analyst, as an owner. You know where are the quarterbacks? Why are they not being developed?
Part of the reason is, and I'm not against guys being paid. I'm not against the portal. I'm not against nil. And I hate to be the old head who says it, but I think there is something to that argument. That when things don't go your way, you don't stay and dig in and work your way through it.
You go right to the portal because you know somebody else will say, "We'll take you." I mean, Derek Carr said it. We will take you as you are. There is nothing wrong with you, and we'll give you a couple mil.
So, how are you improving? How are you getting better? You may or may not, depending on the situation you get to.
So he said, "I would like to go somewhere and provide that stability." I just thought that was all interesting. All right, in and above all of that, you've got the AOCs. Cleveland, I know you're gonna take it the wrong way. I will get there momentarily. This is not meant to crack back on you.
I'm not in any way. I'm here to praise the Rays. I'm not here to crack back on you, Sea Town. I just want to get out in front of that because you all of a sudden got this thing. You've always had this thing, and I know why you had that thing, but you never had that thing with me.
We're symbiotic now, Sea Town. Know that. I do want to talk about that, and Ryan Spielberg will join me a little bit later on. And then I want to talk about UT Texas, and I want to talk about Arch Manning.
Now he looks nothing like a Manning right now. And where does that leave him? Where does that leave them? Would that guy ever hit the portal? Would they ever bench him?
Could they bench him? He's getting fewer first team reps reportedly this week. Bench the Manning. Who the hell ever thought that would be a thing? All right, so let's talk some baseball.
Sorry, chat. We're talking baseball. New topic, new hour. Cleveland again. Don't take this the wrong way, because I'm afraid you will.
Cleveland, this is not for you. Don't say, don't try to say that I'm only talking about the Rays because they beat your Guardians. Like it's only interesting to me because it was bad for you, Cleveland. Nothing could be further from the truth. I really didn't care who won that series.
Either way, I think it's a good topic.
So it's ridiculous because I was going to talk about the AOCs champ, regardless. Kind of ridiculous. What interests me about that game in Tampa last night is not the Cleveland misery angle. That's never anything that I'm interested in. That's never anything I'm ever going to enjoy.
I'm not that guy, no. But I'll tell you what did interest me about last night. I'll tell you what angle did interest me: the junior Caminero angle and the absolute explosion of energy and personality that he displayed after knocking one off the foul pole in the seventh inning last night. Which, of course, some people absolutely loved, and of course, some people absolutely hated. Mostly, the old heads stuck in a different time.
First of all, I think the discussion in and of itself is great for baseball because at least we're having a discussion about baseball. Second of all. It's far from the first time the Caminero has had this kind of explosion of personality on the field that has gone viral and drew the ire of the old heads.
So nobody should be in the least bit surprised that it happened again last night.
However, this time. Camonero did it in the ALCS, in the clinching game of the ALCS, on a massive stage. After smashing this two-run bomb, check it. And he just missed a homer as he turns on that one down the left field line. That's a short porch, and it hits the foul pole.
It's a home run. We're going to be here for a while. I can't hear you. He still hasn't rounded third yet. As if he had not taken enough time, of course he had to stop in style and pimp it before a standing home plate.
Back in the day, and it was not showing anybody up. But 1975, I'm old enough to remember. Not exactly Carlton Fisk waving the ball fair, is it? A thirty-eight second trip, thirty-eight seconds around the bases, is that very long? The entire old school is rolling in their graves right now.
I know. I'm sure old Haas and We Willie would never have stood for this. Of course, neither of those dudes had played in Major League Baseball in over one hundred years. Things change, times change.
Now, if this happened this year, in the third inning of say, I don't know, a game in July, I'd probably still dig it because it would still be fun and still bring juice to a game that otherwise nobody would give a damn about. But these old heads, man, these old heads would at least then have an argument, maybe. But this was not the third inning of a random game in June or July. This was a pennant clinching game at home.
So if there was ever a time to go crazy, that was probably it. Personally, I'm more offended by the looming threat of canceling an entire year of baseball. Than I am about this dude being really, really, really in love with baseball and really, really, really in love with himself. The looming, impending, canceled season bothers me a hell of a lot more than that home run celebration. But that's just me.
I'm more offended by no baseball than I am dudes having fun playing baseball. But I'm just weird like that. Actually, what Caminero said after the game also bothered me more than his home run celebration itself, because this dude actually took his big AL clinching moment and his trip to the World Series, and he used that moment to la bag it up. Listen to this. Tampadiri, Tampas de vez.
I made the best. Come on now, come on, let go. No. See, I love this dude's energy. I love the energy.
I love the swag. Baseball needs that energy so badly, so badly. What baseball does not need is that guy labagging it up in that moment. I was fine with everything until then. Again, Cleveland.
I'm not saying that to take a run at you. I'm not, but I definitely did not think it was possible for it to get any more lame than it was in Cleveland. Than Cleveland. This is for you, but you know what? I think Caminero may have topped that.
I think Tampa, this is for you, is even laimer than Cleveland, this is for you, because he was channeling La Bag. Why give La Bag the satisfaction of going La Bag right there, and also La Bag? At least bagged it up after delivering a championship. LeBron was not going all Cleveland. This is for you.
After winning the Eastern Conference a million times, you don't drop that line for a pennant. You drop that line for a ring. See, that's the one thing that I will say that concerns me for Tampa moving forward.
Well, aside from the fact that I think Milwaukee's better. It concerns me that it kind of felt a little bit last night, like that was their championship, like that was their World Series, and that's not great. Considering you're about to run into a well-rested buzzsaw, and then that's not Wisco Jim talking, by the way. Even Vegas agrees that Milwaukee is a solid favorite in the World Series. I just happen to agree with Vegas.
Because I saw what they just did to the Dodgers, I saw what they did all year long, but but I want to give the Rays this much, and I don't know that anybody's better than this in this moment. I love this so much. One of my favorite things about the Rays is the celebratory tomahawk steak that Yandy Diaz keeps pulling out. This is absolutely incredible. If you are watching on the stream, never mind the cheap champagne.
Look at that! Look at that tomahawk! Absolutely incredible! It may, in fact, be the most glorious slab of meat that I've ever seen in my life. That steak does look like a Dodonis.
He looks like a Dodonis. Dodonis of meat. Look at—he looks like a Thanos. I had an incredible piece of meat last week in Boulder. It wasn't this though.
My man Woody, Woody in the Northwoods, would be impressed with that monster steak. I mean, what an incredible tradition too, passing around the tomahawk. Never mind beer goggles; they need meat goggles. Much respect for that, Tampa. You can break that out anytime you want.
You can break that out after the ALCS. You can break that out after a divisional series. You can break that out after a wild card series. Hell, you can break that out after the first game of the year. For all I care, you can break that out after every single win all season long.
That's how much I love that.
So much respect for dominating the AL all year long, and then running right through the AL playoffs, which is why I've got no issue with them enjoying themselves and celebrating that amazing season they're having.
So, Junior Caminero, do you, dude? Do you, dude? Just do a little less le bag.
Now, personally, you could call me an old head. You can call me old school, but personally, when I think about celebrations, my favorite personal home run celebration and trot, I think, will always be. It is right now, and I just think I'm going to go into the dirt one day, thinking that this was the best. Freaking Jeffrey Leonard, man, my man Jeffrey Leonard flop down. I am a Jeffrey Leonard flop down kind of guy.
Check out what used to qualify is an outrageous and controversial trip around the bases way back in 1987. Watch it on the stream. One and two. And he's hit one to deep left center. And look out now!
If it's gone, it is gone. And he's got one flap down. Yeah, look at his left arm. There it is. The flap is down.
And when he gets to third, it's going to take him maybe two, three minutes to come around. And remember, he now joins the company of Henry Aaron, Gary Matthews, and Bill Madlock.
Now he's slowing down. That's my dude right there. Four to nothing, San Francisco. Jeffrey Leonard. Leonard.
Yes, it's from a different era, but I was here for that. I'm old enough to remember, and let me tell you something. That flop down was every bit as dramatic. As Caminero losing his mind last night, I know you won't think so, but it was at that time. You have to imagine at that time, baseball's code was in full effect.
That flop down was every bit as outrageous as Caminero, if not more so. It's just that nobody wanted to mess with Jeffrey Leonard. Number one. Why would you? He's awesome, and number two, you just didn't want to mess with Jeffrey Leonard.
All of you acting, all of you acting out, Caminero, anybody else pimping, styling their bombs, admiring their work. Let me tell you something: you owe that man a debt of gratitude. I want to see somebody go yard in this series and pay tribute to the man by going one flop down. That to me would be awesome. You know, I'm trying to be the old head, but that would be great.
I want to see somebody in the World Series go one flop down, and then afterwards, when they're interviewed, say that one was for the great Jeffrey Leonard. We all owe him a debt of gratitude. None of us would be losing our minds the way we did, and that was the cool thing about Jeffrey Leonard. He didn't lose his mind. That was just bad ass, badass.
Because back then. If you showed somebody up, you did get one in the ear. I just love the one flop down; it was just so cool. One of my all-time favorite Giants, and I think there have been two: Barry Zito and Jeffrey Leonard. And in large part because Jeffrey Leonard was a Dodger, because he before he was a Giant, Barry Zito, because I love Barry Zito.
And because he was a gaucho, because he was a giant before he was a giant. Anyway, anyway, easy, cheap, convenient conversation. But do you want to have it? I'm here for it because I just did a whole take on it. Do you want to talk about Caminero?
Are you offended? Is that everything that's wrong with baseball? Was that actually awesome? I'm gonna go with the latter. We're talking about baseball.
Why are we talking about baseball? Because that dude lost his mind. Why are we talking about baseball? Because of the tomahawk slab of meat as part of their celebration. Yeah, Rome.
These things have nothing to do with baseball, right? Hey, whatever gets us to talk about baseball. And if you hate the conversation about baseball, don't worry, it's gonna be over soon. Because once the World Series is over, they will lock them out. Unfortunately.
And you can't blame it on the Dodgers. They didn't repeat. Once the World Series is over, I'm not saying that we're not going to get any baseball next year, but my feeling is we're going to lose a lot of baseball next year, if not the entire year. Who knows? Once this series is over, when we will talk about baseball again, or at least the games themselves.
So, if guys want to take thirty-seven seconds to go around the bases, or guys want to break out gigantic slabs of tomahawk, let's do it because I don't know when we'll do it again. And it was cool. Guaranteed phone call if you don't hang up. If you are on hold and you do not hang up. We have guaranteed phone calls.

I love all reaction, but one of my favorite things is affiliate reaction, like the actual station reacting, and nobody does it better than our affiliate in Eugene at ninety-five-three. The score, quote. Suggestion for the Dodgers whining about Camonero's HR celebration: Next time you're at the plate and hit a huge home run that pushes your team to the World Series, act as you see fit.
Otherwise, get over yourselves. Hey, I like it. Nice use of the word Dodgers. I appreciate y'all carrying the show too. Ninety-five-three, the score in Eugene.
I like it. You know the old thing too. If you don't like that guy acting like that after a home run, keep him in the yard. Also, you know what? I know that it doesn't really happen, but I wouldn't mind seeing pitchers act like idiots too if they get a big punch out.
If a guy's going to hit a home run and act like that. Say you get out of a bases loaded jam, and that gets you into the World Series. Go ahead, lose your mind. In other words, don't legislate emotion out of the game the way the NFL has.
Now, I will say this really quickly. Don't hang up. I promised phone calls, and I'll get there. I will say my only concern about this, and I like it. I do like it.
My only concern about this is it's bad enough that we have the Little League World Series taking place the entire summer. It seems like it goes on for like the entire summer, start to finish. Every time I look up the monitor, it's on in the summertime. What we don't want is a bunch eleven-year-olds flipping their bat and taking forty-five seconds to get around the bases. Acting like Caminero, pimping it, flaunting it, and refusing to step on home plate.
And then when they get back to the dugout, all these little kids have a giant tomahawk. We don't want that. That now that would offend me. I don't mind adults doing it. I just don't want this trickling down because you know it will, and it already has.
That's my only concern about that. All right, let's go to the phones. Yeah, Rome, you can't help both ways. I know, I know. Let's go to.
All right, so a lot of you have been waiting on this guy. A lot of you apparently were looking for this guy while I was in Boulder over the weekend. It's good, L.A. My man, Matt in L.A. It is Matt October twentieth.
Yo, Matt, what's going on, dude? A real quick, Romy. The Jeffrey Leonard flopdown, although it wasn't as bad as Baroid Pierwedding off a Chan Ho Sharks, but always seems like the Dodgers off of the CBN.
So it's fitting for October of 2026. From Menifee to Milwaukee, from Refuted to Racing, you're welcome. You puke. You're welcome to stuff your fat faces in celebration. After the law offices of Bowers, Mitchell and Churio, who are usually known for defending Whisker Widebirds, litigating against beer companies and dairy moguls, claiming fat consumption entrapment to get some page for their obese front porches, ah, and bloated bellies.
But instead, this October, they treated Chavez Ravine like Tat'sworth Racoon, scoring at will and absolutely smashing the double chance, making sure that the macabre menagerie of wars replaced the threepeat, eliminating all triple champ dreams. Murph did his best Doc Roberts impersonation, pushing all the right buttons. And these favorites, Frodie Teefman and Dookie Butts, kind of like no-show. Hey, Choke Tony, these gloss not mine. Went colder than a Brewers fan bed year round.
Cold as that frost-bitten toe that old Kegger got trying to catch from Helga Sturgeon to celebrate Saturday night after. After Thursday's Brewer bitch slapping of the Dodgers, turning that blue heaven into a Matt Tovar blue balls nightmare.
So have yourself a series, Milwaukee. Oh yeah, you got no shot, Tampa. Just go hang out with the sun baked, catchersmit faced, dried out Dodgers and old Cougars of St. Pete. Because Milwaukee is that buzz saw that cut down a dynasty.
Lastly, Jim, memo to the latest Dugler, Manny Cheeseburger, Zookeeper Knob, Carolina Dave. A Dave and Carolina. There's only one Carolina Dave, and that's your boy Matt Nellay's personal friend, David Freaking Canalis. Carolina Dave Canales is building a winner in Charlotte. You court jesters, so respect my man, Dave Canales and his Charlotte Panthers.
Cause even if you don't, he's gonna bring some offensive wizardry and a gridiron gang that plays the pigskin punch the right way. You pukes. That's all I got, Jim. War Burn Dog and Ira Craig playing gigs at Wichita and Seattle soup kitchens for sprinkles in Wichita and Ira swells to get an extra helping that night. But unwar low I Q baseball fans blaming the Dodgers for this impending lockout, blame the owners and their decades of mismanagement, you miscreants.
Matt Tabor is still on. How true. I mean, did he own it? I don't even know. I I don't even know if he owned it.
I mean, he said a lot, but I don't know if he owned it. The only thing I really got out of that, Matt. No offense, was that you and Dave Canalis are friends since when? The the latest Manny Cheeseburger. The latest self-colosser, the only actual Carolina Dave is my boy Dave Canalis.
What? Wait, you and Dave Canalis are friends? Since when? Are you and Bill Belichick friends? When?
When? When? Matt, how did when and how and how did that not come up sooner? Yeah, I've not forgot about Barry's pirouette. We got a lot of run out of that back in the day.
That little pirouette after that bomb—here it is. Nice look! Look at you, Lauren. Watch the pirouette. This is another thing that really alienated people.
Here we go, little pirouette. Bam, gone. That also was a reason to go back in the day. And wouldn't you know, that was off of Jan Ho Park. Weren't they all?
Why? Why is Chanho Park in the middle of all these things? That pirouette probably gave him diarrhea. La diarrhea. That's that's what you want to know.
Yes, we want to know. Was it the pirouette? Yeah. Where to come from? You know.
Do you know? Also, it's a good thing that you got that diarrhea back then, Chanho, because now you can transmit. Sexual diseases via the diarrhea. Why? Why is it funny?
No, no, no, it's not me laughing. It's not funny.
Somebody thought it was funny. That's probably V in the background. That's probably V. Who asked the question? V's laughing.
Jan's like, "You think that's funny?" V's like, "Yeah, I think that's funny. I think that's really funny, Janho." Who are you, V? V who? V and the fee. And you have diarrhea, Janho.
I think it's hilarious. Yeah, I got it, Alby. Thanks, Matt. I I don't know if that was Matt owning or respecting the Brewers. I I don't even know what the hell that was.
I mean, he did say it's still Mattober. The Dodgers might be dead, but it's still Mattober. It's still Mattober for another eleven days or so. And by the way, me and my boy Dave Canales have something to say about that. Let's go to North Dakota, Josh, in North Dakota.
Great to have you, Josh. What's going on? Hey, Mister Rome, I was going good. How about you, dude? Over a year since I first talked to you after the BMW Open and the Clonials.
Give me back my son. But anyway, the reason I was calling was about Dan Quinn's hat. It reminds me of the great movie Over the Top with Sylvester Stallone, where he turns his hat around and says, "It's kind of like a switch." So I'm thinking that's maybe why Quinn does it. Thanks, Romy. Interesting.
It's kind of like a switch. I think it was. I think he went with two switches. One, he flipped it around; it didn't work. Two, he took it off altogether, and it didn't work.
I don't know why it is. Like on the weekends, when I throw a lid on, and I only have one. Believe it or not, you know there are people with like like dozens of hats. I have one. My man Woody gave it to me for some reason, and I used to have a million hats because people would always give me hats.
But I don't usually wear hats. The only time I'll throw a lid on is generally on the weekend. If like I just wake up, roll out, just want to throw on a lid, get a little breakfast, I'll wear it backwards. I never wear forwards, and I don't even know why. I'm just kind of in that habit.
But I'll never forget the one guy who checked me really hard on that in public. For wearing my hat backwards, and it was several years ago, and it happened in the eight one eight, and I used to see this guy around, and he checked me hard. He literally said to me, "Yo, Romy, turn your hat around." He flat out said it to me, "Turn your hat around." Pete Rose, Pete Rose, saw him at a restaurant, and he and I, Pete and I, always did well, and he was happy to see me, but he literally said that to me. Like, like you're being really disrespectful, man. Flip that hat around, and that was rich for way too many things, right?
How rich was that, Pete? Pete telling me that I don't even think was like I was disrespecting the game as much as I was disrespecting life by wearing my hat backwards, because I don't even remember what the hat was. Anyway. An NFL coach like DQ wearing that hat backwards, I always thought was kind of curious. I wasn't offended by it, but who else does that?
What other NFL coach is wearing their hat backwards? Like, like bro, like you're an NFL bro. I mean, it's a statement. Like you're an NFL bro, and he's such a good dude. But then all of a sudden, you saw it last night.
Like the switch, the Sly Stallone switch. He flipped it around. But he flipped nothing around. It didn't work at all, and they just took it off altogether.
So where do you go after that? If you've worn it backwards the whole time, and then you flip it around, and then that did nothing, and then you take it off, where do you go next? What move is there? You got to put on another hat, different kind of hat. All right, so I've got a Dave in Carolina on hold.
It's either Dave Canalis, who Matt says is the actual Carolina Dave, or it's the Carolina Dave who we ran yesterday for self-glossing. Either way, I think we win. Let's find out. We go now to Dave in Carolina. Dave, what's going on?
How are you?
Well, what's up, Romeo? Let me tell you something, brother. Actually, let me tell Matt Tober something, brother. This is Dave in Carolina, the one and only. I'm from Rick Rick Rare Country.
Whoa. And last time I was out in L.A., last time I was out in California. Let me tell you what I did, Romy. I am the June 4, 2024, Real Fortune Champion, baby. There's only one of me in the world.
Dave Canales knows about me. I know about Dave Canales. You can Google me, Dave Real Fortune Champion, and you will see me. Matt Tabor, I'm. I run Charlotte.
I run North Carolina, and I might be new to the program, but let me tell you guys something: y'all are about to find out what a champion looks like from North Carolina. Oh, my man! All right, and listen, bro, you're welcome. We're we're happy to have you. I'm glad you're new to the program.
I'm glad you like the program, dude. We are more than happy to have you. But since you're new to the program, there's only a few rules: have a take, don't suck, don't self-gloss. You self-glossed yesterday. That's why you got run.
But I'm glad you called back. That's a bounce back. He figured it out. He said it. I am Dave from Carolina, and the last time I was in Cali, I dominated Wheel of Fortune.
Look it up. Can we confirm it? It's been confirmed. Bro, congrats. There was a David from Winston Salem who competed on that day.
All right, can we confirm, Tom? Did he win? We've confirmed that he competed. He just said he won. Hey, bro!
First of all, let's not act like it's Jeopardy. It's the real Affliction. He did win. All right, dude, for the win. Just don't act like you won an episode of Jeopardy.
Whoa, bro! Is I'm going? Is I'm going deeper down this hole? He won thirty-seven gur. No wonder this dude's celebrating like he's Junior Caminero, bro.
When you won that thirty-seven gur, did you break out that? Gigantic tomahawk chop? That'd have been awesome. Hey, Ryan Seacrest. Oh, by the way, fellow Hall of Famer, he and I went in the same class.
You know what you should have done, my man? When you won that 37 girl, and Ryan came over to shake your hand, you should have looked right in the camera and said, "Winston Salem, this is for you." Dave in Carolina, wheel a fortune. Dave, way to go, bro! Way to bounce back. Hey man, stop hating on Cali.
That's one of your best stories ever, bro. Where did that happen, Cali? Where did you win your thirty-seven? Cali. Hey, man!
I'd like to welcome anybody new to the program. The program is not new, but we have new viewers, we have new listeners. Makes me feel great. Get up in here, hey Matt, my man, Matt, my man. I think I got to give that round to Dave in Carolina, and it was not your dude, Dave Canalis.
See, we can confirm. Hey, Matt. Look, I believe you, bro. You've never not been truthful or honest with me. But I just confirmed that Dave and Carolina did, in fact, win the Wheel of Fortune.
I have not yet confirmed that you and Dave Canalis are boys.
Now, that'd be a very random thing to say.
So, I'm going to believe that it's true. Matt's never not told the truth on the program, as far as I can tell.
So, you and Dave Canalis probably are boys. By the way, Dave and Carolina, you just became Wheel of Fortune. Dave, you can call in and say, "Hey, Rome, it's Wheel of Fortune." Dave, and we won't run you because that's gloss that came from the program. That's not self gloss.
Now you may be a legend on your local shows, and they may know you as Caroline Dave. And you might have thought, "I'm going to step up to the big leagues and go on Rome Show and let everybody know, so all the folks back home can hear Caroline Dave on Rome Show." Except on Rome Show, and yes, I can talk in the third person for this. You are Wheel of Fortune, Dave. In fact, bro, I got bad news because now you're going to call up and you're going to say, "Hey, uh, hey Hardy." It's Dave in Carolina, and then Hardy's gonna say, "Actually, bro, it's Wheel of Fortune, Dave." And then you're gonna say, "Come on, man, don't do that." And you're gonna say, "What's gonna happen?" I predict this already. I know what's gonna happen.
I'm gonna go, "Hey, let's go to Carolina Wheel of Fortune, Dave. What's up, brother?" And then you're gonna correct me and say, "Rome." It's Dave and Carolina, and then Alvy's gonna run you for that, my man. Here's another rule that you don't know about the show: don't correct the host, or Alvy will run you. That's Alvy's rule. My brother, you're boxed, brother.
You are now Wheel of Fortune, Dave, and you've got nobody to blame but yourself for that, because. You came up in here like chest out. Hey, man, let me tell you something, Rome. When I went to California, I won the Wheel of Fortune. Look it up, dog.
Well, I did, and you're telling the truth.
So that's how I know you. Wheel of Fortune, Dave. Man, 37 girl. Way to go, bra. How much did Uncle Sam get of that?
