    Insurance Sucks

    The episode opens with an ad for We Do Epoxy before Trizdon and Ray discuss Ray’s update on Patty’s recovery after 25 hospital days and three surgeries, including using a chair lift, wheelchairs, and a slide board transfer system, plus an itemized $373,000 bill and how subrogation and insurance limits affect settlements and why “billboard lawyer” ads can mislead people about getting rich. Triz shares a Tennessee trip to visit nieces and nephews, and Ray describes a calmer night of bourbon and karaoke and their views against drinking and driving, then they talk comedy favorites like Norm Macdonald, including Triz’s livestream Q&A moment, and Dolly Parton’s persona and philanthropy. After sponsor mentions and an Hourly Flipper promo, they pivot to politics, criticizing Trump’s performance, tariffs (including Canada), insider enrichment, midterm outlooks, key races, and Democratic strategy debates between moderates like Andy Beshear and the left, before closing with jokes.

    Trizdon Interviews Iconic Cincinnati Red George Culver

    Extreme Common Sense: MLB No-Hitter Pitcher George Culver on His Career, Pete Rose, Tommy John, and Japan Baseball Trizdon Reynolds hosts a Ray-free episode of Extreme Common Sense featuring former MLB pitcher and author George Culver, who discusses his path from a modest high school start to rapid minor-league advancement, breaking through with a slider, debuting with Cleveland, and becoming a starter after a trade to Cincinnati where he later threw a no-hitter. Culver recounts the late-night Philadelphia no-hitter with minimal warmup, early defensive errors leading to a run, growing nerves, and finishing it against Cookie Rojas, plus near-misses afterward. He describes arm problems, pitching through pain, surgery for bone chips, and a half-season in Japan, including contract disputes. Culver shares views on modern pitching injuries, praises Tommy John and argues for his Hall of Fame case, tells Pete Rose stories and opinions on Rose’s Hall eligibility, and promotes his book The Earl of Oildale with signed copies available via 661-706-3775.

    MLB LEGEND BILLY SAMPLE

    The amazing episode opens  featuring former Major League Baseball player, broadcaster, and screenwriter Billy Sample. Sample discusses being raised partly by grandparents in Salem, Virginia, early poverty, and minor-league pay, including carrying a manager’s golf clubs, and shares encounters with entertainers like Roy Clark, Charley Pride, Penny Marshall, Tim Daly, and broadcaster Dick Enberg. He promotes his strong R film Reunion 108 and his self-published book A Year in Pinstripes & Then Some, describing guerrilla-style filming and clubhouse humor. Sample outlines his baseball path from JMU and the Shenandoah Valley League to the Rangers, Yankees, and Braves, reflects on card-signing requests, teammates’ personalities, playing with Rickey Henderson, facing Nolan Ryan, and recalls his favorite MLB moment: a walk-off home run against the Angels. 00:00 Ugly Floor Epoxy Ad 00:32 Show Intro and Guest Reveal 02:27 Growing Up Poor in Virginia 04:33 Minor League Grind and Famous Owners 06:11 Roy Clark Almost Bats 09:31 Celebrity Encounters and Awkward Interviews 13:51 Reunion 108 Movie Talk 16:37 Clubhouse Culture and Ball Four 24:26 Path to the Majors 32:37 Break and Baseball Card Signing 35:57 Fan Letters and First MLB Games 37:53 Stars in the Clubhouse 39:32 Jesse Jackson Football 40:22 Bruce Hornsby Connections 41:25 Ray Signs Off 42:26 First Big Purchase 45:08 Reds Network Story 48:20 Funniest Teammates 55:38 Ricky Henderson Memories 57:16 Facing Nolan Ryan 01:00:55 Promoting Film Book 01:09:42 Walkoff Home Run 01:12:37 Farewell And Ads

    Funyuns Label Deep Dive

    Buckle Up MotherF****** Ray's doing a Funyuns label deep dive! Extreme Common Sense: Funyuns Ingredients, Trump’s War Spin, Gas Prices, Gerrymandering, and a Berea Bank Tragedy The script opens with an ad for We Do Epoxy, then Tristan and Ray begin their “Extreme Common Sense” episode by reading Funyuns ingredients and nutrition facts, briefly explaining riboflavin. They shift to politics, criticizing Donald Trump for unreliable statements about a war involving Iran, arguing it has driven gas prices up (they cite $5.15 in Richmond, KY) and hurt consumer spending, including Ray’s bowling/entertainment business being down about $70,000 year-to-date. They discuss Netanyahu’s influence, the Strait of Hormuz, and say the administration hasn’t justified the war’s urgency. They cover mid-census redistricting and gerrymandering’s effects on primaries and representation. After sponsor ads, they discuss the Berea bank robbery/murder by an 18-year-old, a hantavirus cruise-ship outbreak, RFK Jr., Trump family profits, Democrats’ messaging, a Bill Greason story, and end with a joke and Reds/Mets talk. 00:00 Ugly Floor Ad 00:30 Show Intro 00:55 Funyuns Label Deep Dive 04:23 Trump Test Talk 06:57 War Misinformation 13:33 Gas Price Shock 15:11 Business Downturn 21:06 Was War Necessary 23:31 Strait of Hormuz Fallout 26:40 Redistricting Battle 29:46 Gerrymandering Effects 32:56 Election Outlook 34:41 Halftime Break and Sponsors 35:34 Berea Pawn Ad Spot 36:06 Hourly Flipper Promo 36:40 Snack Talk to Tragedy 37:05 Berea Bank Shooting Fallout 41:56 Cruise Ship Hantavirus 43:21 RFK Jr and Cabinet Chaos 45:58 Trump Profits and Corruption 51:55 Democrats Message Problem 56:51 PSA on Being Late 59:09 Bill Greason Autograph Story 01:02:09 Confessional Lemon Joke 01:02:47 Reds Slump and Mets Misery 01:04:13 Weekend Signoff
