Manly Men? Reeling in The Years. Friday's Tool.

Well, the old day is the only thing he has to worry about going into Orleans from Marti Graul was getting arrested for public intoxication.

Wow, it's much worse. Why do we need the word ballards?

We don't. It's right, it's like predacted, yeap, just say removed, we remove the names or information from this report.

I say, never mind the ballards.

But I thought I thought they kept saying ballard like the round balls you see in front of target or like, I thought maybe those are what they were talking about, to where they can't drive through those, so they put basketball players and then they just show you the little silver steel things you see out front of buildings. That's what a ballard is. And you just fitted into the

No more then beads. We'll get down there. It's gonna be a whole shame to remove the beads.

I don't care. It's still in there though. It's it's still in there and it's working, so don't remove it until New Year's Eve.

You would think.

Uh, and again, try be be careful on Twitter, because you'll make the mistake. I did, which was watched twenty seconds of a video. Did you know what I was watching? It was the mangled bodies of oh and how did they suck you in?

I did.

I was just flipping through and then and I saw the leg that was going somewhere should be going just like wrap around?

Uh?

This girls was like what, what is what? And then I realized what it was and I went on, I can't unsee that now.

Yeah, oh yeah, I have a list, found some lists while I was off.

Is there a man list?

And this is that kind of this is I guess millennial man. You kind of feel sorry for for girls that want the Marlborough man, right, the tough guy.

Yeah, well they did that to those boys. Yeah, those poor boys don't know what to be or what to say.

Here's the question, Yeah, guys of Reddit, what's a stereotis typically a masculine thing that you couldn't care less about?

Oh okay, let's see all right.

Number one, acting tough for no apparent reason.

Acting tough, I'll get you as so ambiguous. It's so it's like, what do you want you talk about acting tough, Like, I'll tell you when you're sick.

What getting into fights purely because your ego took a hit. Oh, I've seen two people die from hitting the deck after one punch.

I've got a family at home. I can't do this. Well, it's very rare. I think it's very rare that someone dies after hitting the ground after a punch. Plus, don't have a glass jawl uh. And if you're that talented of a puncher, realize to catch the person after you punch him out. Yeah, go get Jake, Paul, don't get them.

Yeah.

But I was at that We had our little near as you've get together with some of the old folks and some friends in the neighborhood. And he was like, like, I don't remember going to a party in the eighties where there wasn't a.

Fight every every party.

Like, if you went to a party where there wasn't a fight, you were like, Wow, there wasn't a fight tonight.

Well, you hung out with guys that would start one.

Yeah, I apologize for that.

Stereotypically manly things and that everybody's into this depends pretty heavily on your definition of masculinity. But I never wanted to sleep around, have a high body count or any of that. I just want to find one woman who's right for me and Mary.

It's all about hormones, dude, So stop. Okay, it's all about your hormones at a certain level. And you're like, I really don't want to do that. Plus it's all about your options, isn't it too little?

Uh?

Daniel or Brandon or whatever the hell your name is. Uh, he's just like, I just don't want to do that. Really, you didn't want to do that. Oh okay, they didn't want to do you. That's exactly right. Like, let's let's let's think about Chris Rock said it twenty years ago. A man's as faithful as his options, right, of course, the dude's saying.

That, Yo, yeah, okay, you decided you didn't want to sleep around, right, Okay, right, some pretty girl walks up take me home?

No, absolutely not not. I just don't want to do that stuff.

Listen, no one's taking my tasty, bright colored cocktails with those little umbrellas on them away from me.

There's Dwight in Mexico. Uh. There have been, yes, there were cocktails that say that's a girl drink, and there are cocktails that that's a man's drink. And I got yelled at Tuesday night or Wednesday night whatever New Year's Eve because I offered ice for somebody for their bourbon, and there were just like two guys like, stop it. So dude, dude, you drink it neat, you don't drink it. I was like, Okay, I drink neat or on the rocks.

Yeah, same with me. Bourbon, neat bourbon on the rocks, bourbon with it.

Well, it doesn't twift twift when I drank tequila on the rocks. It it doesn't really get that diluted because I drink it too quickly, you know. It's not like it's sitting there long enough for that ice to melt and dilute it.

By the way, yeah, there's nothing nastier than these sliced limes and or lemons sitting in that little container at the end of the bar.

Oh pez done.

They've done studies and they're like those two the lemons and the limes that are sitting in those little things at the end of the bar. Don't don't put them in your water.

People are talking, yeah, don't do whenever they see lemon. I'm like, absolutely not, don't do it.

They got fruit flies buzzing around.

By five.

Manly things that some men aren't into. Crying in front of my significant other. Sometimes you just need to have a good cry to let it all out.

I'm guilty. Every time I see Susan, I break into tears.

Yeah that's not for the reason though.

Oh yeah, I gone, you're not a cryer, Tony.

I am not, and it's to me. It's just like, I'm not here's my issue, and I'm a terrible person. But if you cry, great, Guess what happens after you finished crying. You still have the same problems and you've now kind of made them worse because you look like a whoosy. So I don't know. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I told my son years ago, I said, I apologize for not crying in front of you. I should have done that. No. One year later, calendar year, I said, you remember I said that last year? I said, Yeah,

Some women do what would make you.

Cry and do name one? You know the ones that's say Anderson, No, because Barbara Anderson is an American treasure. So you start crying ten seconds into it, They're like oh, and then they're like, Okay, Lindsay, gonna stop ooky.

Yeah. What about a guy that does like they like yo, I've been a funeral before. I've been at funerals before. You know, like a tear will come down, you know, because it's sad.

I loved Bob.

You know who's a crier? The guy that decided he didn't want to sleep around.

I didn't even cry about that. She just wanted to use for my body.

Manly stuff. Some guys don't get cars. Other guys see a car and know the make, yer and most important things about it. I only know the brand, and that's if I can see the logo. But I'm not a car guy either.

I'm not either. And my buddy just bought a new one of those nineteen sixty eight chargers and was the special, only like four hundred were made. And he's built a pole barn. And I don't know why a pole barn is different than a regular barn. It's a cheap house, is what it is. Okay, But he's so he's got his six cars, his six muscle cars in there so he can sit there and look at him and drink beer. It's like a dude thing. I guess I don't get

I was rich, I would buy the Smoking the Bandit trans Am. I would also buy a nineteen sixty eight Camaro Supersport. And I would also buy a gto judge. But I was stopping at three. Sure, the cars, not guitars.

You don't stop anything at three. You have thirty three pairs of sunglasses.

Never stopped anything in your life.

On my mother's eyes, this is a true story. My grandmother's favorite saying was, if one's good, two's better, explains a lot about me. Right.

Everything there you.

Go, new men maybe not into traditionally manly stuff. I don't get sports. The only reason I follow football is because my wife is into it. I love that one.

There are more. That's why David and I like to screw it out on sports because the younger generations like whatever, they don't want to talk about it. They don't want to talk about it. They don't want to I well met that.

I love their colorful sports costumes.

They wear uniforms and what they're called.

And I will say that also at the end of each sports year, you know, their season finale seems really exciting, like the foot, like the the football season finale last year Super Bowl was really really it was riveting.

Yeah. Yeah, I have a lot of pizazz. I figured when I was taking like take Mike John and his friends are Maggie and her friends, and I'd have like we had because we worked. We worked with u of L so closely. I had access and they were just so uninterested, just like whatever, I don't want to go to game.

Okay, I don't get UFC or m m A. I couldn't care less about it. I'm kind of with you on that.

Well it is it's destroyed boxing, and boxing destroyed itself because it was so they is so rigged and UFC will probably end up being that same way if it's not already.

It's just literally wrestling.

It's a little too brutal for me. I don't The point to where I stop is where someone the guy is knocked out on this on his back and you're still pounding him. You just just punching him in the forehead, in the face, and it's just like he's knocked out. What are you doing? Like your brain snaps. But it's into. Everyone loves it. Everyone loves UFC.

I don't get grilling. It's hot as hell outside. Okay, let's spend a few hours next to the only thing in the yard that's hotter than the weather. If you enjoy it, knock yourself out, and I will.

Summer and winter damn near. Like I would say, ninety five percent of everything we eat I cook outside is smoking or grilling.

Grilling is like a lot of things, horse racing, bourbon music. You grow into it. If you're twenty something and you don't get it, okay, just give me a couple of years, you'll be there. But I mean thirty, you're just like five smokers. Yes, yeah, you're gonna be into it. Man, you're gonna be out in the backyard. You know why, because if not, you're inside with your family. Yeah, I say that out loud. I think you did.

Sorry, growl Master's ply.

And finally, and I'm with you on this one. I don't get strip clubs.

I never never had. I never went.

I never heard I would go, you know, because everybody went. But I was so uncomfortable. And then one time a buddy of mine bought me a lap dance. We just left the track. It was so uncomfortable. I sat there. You got to sit on your hands or you did it.

At the time, I was strip club.

I was forced to go because of my job.

Yeah, I did a lot of games, and I ended up.

I never understood it. It never did. I never liked I didn't really like it. It was like, okay, a strip club. So I would sit at the bar and watch football game. So I would drink a beer and I'd sit at the bar and I wouldn't really and every once in a while they say, can you get up and say something. I'd get up and yell something on the mic, and I go back to my chair.

I don't think that's what made everybody think you're a jerk.

Oh no, clearly.

Oh tell us about the dude on the couch when you were getting paid?

Oh yeah, so yeah, I did a gig for that. Took my girlfriend with me to the gig, and I ended up getting paid, and the big, huge guy came up to us and said, hey, you ready to get paid. I said, yes, sir. For the next thing I know, We're walking two floors down underneath Washington Street downtown where and then I'm in this basement two floors down and I'm in this room with uh.

Did they make it off? You can't refuse? Yes?

And an Italian guy was on the couch in which his leather jacket matched the leather couch, and the owner of the joint tried to make a deal and offered me whatever, and I was like, nope, I'll take cash. Brother, and I sat on the couch with this dude. Two days later, Remember USA Today was like a huge the newspaper USA Today was like a huge, a big deal. He was like, everyone got the Courier Journal at the USA Today it was the internet. It was correct. And

Well, okay, and I went when when When I was selling advertising for our rock station, one of my accounts was a house of.

You mean a trip club, No, okay, a brothel.

A brothel it was. It was escorts. So every time I would go to to get paid, they would offer things to you. All right, then I'll wake up one morning and it's a homicide arson from that place.

Yeah, that's not good. Stay away from those establishments for sure, all right.

It's a bonus tool since I was bonus tool.

Speaking of tools, I have to go out to Kroger today at the grocery store because I'm out of my eggs and I'm out of my English muffins. And what's the first thing that goes when everybody says it's gonna snow.

Yep, eggs and muffins.

Okay, most of the time I love his adventurous spirit, but this

I have a surprise.

Oh, here we go.

After a few drinks, he unveiled the surprise, which Maggie said she thought it would be something sweet, like a heartfelt gift or maybe a romantic gesture. So he pulls out what looks like a box from a jewelry store. My heart raised. I assumed it was going to be a lovely bracelet, perhaps some diamond earrings or tennis bracelet. But when I opened the box, I was stunned. It was a key to a house that Mark had supposedly

Time, she went, you're a blanking idiot. Why the heck would you do that? First of all, who would at what point with your tiny little man brain did you think this was appropriate to do? That's how she put it. Just wanted to start there. I just wanted to start there. First of all, men are stupid.

You know, I love to live in town. This is on the outskirts of town and it's a dump.

Well, but our love is on the outskirts of everyone else's love because we're better.

We don't have the money for this.

Love doesn't you know what. Love doesn't need money, It needs love.

This wasn't gonna work no matter of the pitch.

It's the wrong side of the tracks, outskirts of town type boy. Uh yeah, he's he's an idiot. Did she go too far by calling off the wedding. No, I don't know you could do that.
