[SPEAKER_11]: And I'm back for the second half of the cow over there to go.

[SPEAKER_17]: Michael Mara, radio entertainment.

[SPEAKER_17]: You can listen to the Michael Mara Show at michomerasho.com.

[SPEAKER_17]: Wow, what a happy year.

[SPEAKER_13]: It's a podcast fun.

[SPEAKER_13]: I want to excitement.

[SPEAKER_13]: We have today.

[SPEAKER_17]: It's the Michael Mara Show with Michael Mara and Rob Spuac.

[SPEAKER_17]: Now here's Mike.

[SPEAKER_08]: No better way to start a Monday show than with a poem.

[SPEAKER_08]: And, you know, I mentioned for those regular listeners that Carla has a lot of people that really, really like to reach out and express their love and devotion to her.

[SPEAKER_08]: But nobody, I think it's safe to say nobody has ever really responded to that more than our

[SPEAKER_05]: I gotta ask because I know Carla has a large contingent of fans on the show.

[SPEAKER_05]: She's got fans for her business.

[SPEAKER_05]: She helps so many people.

[SPEAKER_05]: But is Dirk the one that is he the creepiest?

[SPEAKER_05]: Do you find it creepy at all?

[SPEAKER_08]: Not at all.

[SPEAKER_05]: Really, okay, that's good.

[SPEAKER_05]: Do you have any fun?

[SPEAKER_05]: I find it creepy.

[SPEAKER_08]: I find Dirk a generous.

[SPEAKER_05]: I do too.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_08]: Supportive, loving, magnanimous.

[SPEAKER_08]: and one of the p1 of p1s.

[SPEAKER_05]: I agree.

[SPEAKER_08]: Creepy wouldn't make it to the show.

[SPEAKER_08]: That was a block.

[SPEAKER_08]: And I'm looking at the poem and skipping it.

[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, maybe a little creepy.

[SPEAKER_05]: All right.

[SPEAKER_05]: Well, you know what?

[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, life is a rich tabloat, my.

[SPEAKER_05]: Let's see who I am.

[SPEAKER_08]: Let's point that out.

[SPEAKER_08]: I'd like to point that out that he's older than I am.

[SPEAKER_08]: But he's also been probably the biggest supporter we've ever had.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, a very dedicated, never forgets a birthday, never forgets an anniversary, never misses a lie of that.

[SPEAKER_05]: He's just, he's there, a very solid supporter of this program.

[SPEAKER_08]: Some people that support you, you know, through thick and thin and are there all the time, sometimes, you know, it ends and the jerkets never been, it's never wavered, other people it wavers a lot.

[SPEAKER_08]: I think with Dirk it's stronger than ever, but, you know, I have lived for, I've lived with this for a long time and that is the fact that Dirk is madly in love with my wife.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_08]: So that's why when I had, I still have the card here.

[SPEAKER_08]: When I brought the card, I noticed that he gave a very nice anniversary gift to my wife.

[SPEAKER_08]: Now, he said, go out to iguana me, I think that's to play Kate me, but if you make the check out to her, then you really really be removed from it easily, go go do anything you want.

[SPEAKER_08]: And by the way, our anniversary weekend was not what I would describe as romantic.

[SPEAKER_08]: I'll get to more of that later on, but you can't be romantic when you're hauling your kid around everywhere.

[SPEAKER_08]: That's just the way it goes, but he's in utero.

[SPEAKER_05]: then you can be romantic because he's, you know, just along for the ride, but he's not like requiring care.

[SPEAKER_08]: What is wrong with you?

[SPEAKER_05]: What is wrong with you?

[SPEAKER_05]: What is wrong with me?

[SPEAKER_08]: But I mean, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

[SPEAKER_08]: I don't I don't know don't answer your question.

[SPEAKER_08]: I know it's big-dear economy.

[SPEAKER_08]: You're right.

[SPEAKER_08]: Can I just do you have poem music?

[SPEAKER_08]: I do like all right.

[SPEAKER_08]: Let me hear your poem music.

[SPEAKER_08]: I want to make sure now No, that's British music. [SPEAKER_08]: That's British royalty music. [SPEAKER_08]: That is not poem music. [SPEAKER_05]: Okay. [SPEAKER_05]: What would you suggest for poem music? [SPEAKER_05]: You know can then do your job [SPEAKER_05]: This was what I thought was poem music. [SPEAKER_05]: No, it's not. [SPEAKER_05]: Okay, all right, all right. [SPEAKER_05]: Because I thought what it was, Mike, I thought it was a masterpiece. [SPEAKER_08]: Stop talking about an emudero and just find something nice in poetry life. [SPEAKER_05]: You don't want any emudero music. [SPEAKER_05]: You would have a lot of like blue, blue, blue. [SPEAKER_08]: What's wrong with him today? [SPEAKER_08]: It's been a long weekend. [SPEAKER_05]: I guess that's it for all of us. [SPEAKER_08]: Oh, it has been a, [SPEAKER_08]: No, that's Hollywood music. [SPEAKER_05]: That's the Hollywood fanfare. [SPEAKER_05]: Wait until it gets past the fanfare, then it's poetry now. [SPEAKER_05]: You just- [SPEAKER_08]: You know, here's what I, here's my request to you, Robbs. [SPEAKER_08]: All right. [SPEAKER_08]: You're sound boards that you use on the show, organize them with as much dedication and care as you organize your albums in alphabetical order. [SPEAKER_08]: Put that much effort into the music that you have at your, so that you will know right now, I could tell you where is and mention any album, right? [SPEAKER_08]: And you would find it how long would it take you to find it in your wall of music? [SPEAKER_05]: 60 seconds. [SPEAKER_05]: But that's one of the most little walk to the shelf. [SPEAKER_09]: But the problem is not finding the file. [SPEAKER_09]: The problem is the description. [SPEAKER_09]: He doesn't know what poem music is. [SPEAKER_09]: Poetry music. [SPEAKER_05]: How's this? [SPEAKER_08]: No, it's not, it's got to be romantic poetry music. [SPEAKER_05]: Ah, okay. [SPEAKER_05]: We can do that. [SPEAKER_08]: There you go. [SPEAKER_08]: Okay. [SPEAKER_08]: That didn't take long. [SPEAKER_08]: That's well. [SPEAKER_05]: I just didn't know what Mike. [SPEAKER_08]: I wasn't even a hard time. [SPEAKER_08]: I meant it didn't take long. [SPEAKER_08]: That was rapid. [SPEAKER_08]: Right there when I said, when I gave you a better description, that was good. [SPEAKER_08]: Okay. [SPEAKER_08]: Delighted. [SPEAKER_08]: That's wonderful. [SPEAKER_08]: All right. [SPEAKER_08]: And now stop it and we'll start it again. [SPEAKER_05]: All right. [SPEAKER_05]: Got it. [SPEAKER_05]: There we go. [SPEAKER_08]: A poem from Dirk Vastry. [SPEAKER_07]: Another year has found its place, yet still I see, you're ready and face. [SPEAKER_05]: Oh you're kidding. [SPEAKER_07]: The world calls you another's bride. [SPEAKER_07]: Oh no. [SPEAKER_07]: But my heart keeps its truth inside. [SPEAKER_07]: Gross. [SPEAKER_07]: Your laughter. [SPEAKER_07]: Oh, there's a restless flame. [SPEAKER_07]: Oh, a longing. [SPEAKER_07]: I cannot quite name. [SPEAKER_07]: Each glance of yours, though not for me, becomes a private ecstasy. [SPEAKER_05]: You know, Mike, when I asked if it was creepy, I was sort of joking. [SPEAKER_05]: But this really is life they know. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: I mean, this is really, I'm not getting out of dirt's voice. [SPEAKER_05]: It sounds like he's wearing a skin face. [SPEAKER_07]: I raise this verse, though not my hand, right, and love you, where I cannot stand. [SPEAKER_07]: For though you walk another's life, I dream you mine, forbidden wife. [SPEAKER_11]: WHAT?! [SPEAKER_07]: There it is. [SPEAKER_08]: I'm not I'd say he's coming on the crew is he coming on the cruise. [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah twice. [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, I'm going to have 20. [SPEAKER_05]: I want 24 hours surveillance on him on our cruise to the Bahamas Well, let's have him on the dirt deck and he has to stay on the dirt Good dirt deck. [SPEAKER_05]: I mean, there's like 36 floors on this boat. [SPEAKER_05]: Very great gym. [SPEAKER_05]: There's a bandit show. [SPEAKER_05]: Thank you. [SPEAKER_05]: It's awful. [SPEAKER_09]: Good. [SPEAKER_05]: Like an ankle chain like they did with Frankenstein [SPEAKER_09]: Yes, Frankenstein's monster. [SPEAKER_09]: I didn't even just bells. [SPEAKER_09]: So you hear him coming? [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, Bell or other, Nick like a cowbell? [SPEAKER_08]: The dirt. [SPEAKER_08]: Duck. [SPEAKER_08]: Oh my god. [SPEAKER_08]: Ah, so slowly to you. [SPEAKER_08]: You're so good to you. [SPEAKER_08]: All right. [SPEAKER_08]: I've vented. [SPEAKER_08]: I've vented on social yesterday. [SPEAKER_08]: And I will vent some more today because it's what I do. [SPEAKER_08]: Ah, the life. [SPEAKER_08]: of a New York Giants football fan. [SPEAKER_08]: How's it going? [SPEAKER_08]: Here's the thing about the NFL. [SPEAKER_08]: As I have become more into the NFL with each year that has passed. [SPEAKER_08]: Right. [SPEAKER_08]: And none more than this year getting ready for the season, paying attention to the draft, paying attention to training camp, following all the stories, following all the news. [SPEAKER_05]: Is this like, let's go back two weeks. [SPEAKER_08]: at the beginning of this season was this the season you were more into football then you're in tire life because they certainly make it easy to do that I am a fan like he's at all out for you my dad and i were we're really really uh... had that bond of uh... the red socks and the giant's going up because he made me a giant's fan and he made me a red socks fan and i i will tell you that [SPEAKER_08]: over the years, we've really enjoyed it, and then there's, you know, after my dad passed away and before Michael was born in and out, you know, I'd pay, I'd pay some attention to it. [SPEAKER_08]: I met Carla in 2003 and then in 2004, they, they won after 80 and 80 year drought, they won the world series. [SPEAKER_08]: So that was special with Carla, which I met Carla in 2003. [SPEAKER_08]: And then they won in 2007, and then they won in 2013, and then they won in 2018. [SPEAKER_08]: So I'll be honest with you, when your team starts to win like that, you kind of, it loses. [SPEAKER_08]: It's, it's, I know Josh, I know it does. [SPEAKER_08]: But it does lose a little bit of its excitement, just because they've done it. [SPEAKER_08]: You know, I'm not in there. [SPEAKER_08]: I'm very excited. [SPEAKER_09]: And I feel the same way on the football side. [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, yeah, I mean, you get a little Ravens victory and Super Bowls and then you kind of, you know, you'll lose the play. [SPEAKER_08]: So when your team has a long drought, for me, and I'm probably not unlike a lot of sports fans, when your team doesn't win doesn't win and is a perennial loser, you get if you have that personality that broken personality that I have, you become more into it because [SPEAKER_08]: it's more elusive and it's more something where the struggle and so you know coming into this season no great expectations for for the New York Giants to be honest with you but you're there to see okay let's see what we got and then last week against your Washington commanders the Giants played like the Giants of last year which was a succathon but it was much easier [SPEAKER_08]: to deal with than yesterday. [SPEAKER_08]: And I mentioned this on one of my posts. [SPEAKER_08]: When you have a really, really special group of losers, when you have an organization that is really, really a terrible organization, they not only lose, but they figure out how to turn their fans hearts to dust. [SPEAKER_05]: And they do it all the time, right? [SPEAKER_05]: I'm always new ways. [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_08]: Lik
