That's something that teachers can really do. They can they can really affect not only you, but but the people in your family. And we count on more than just the parents in our home, we count on the teachers. We count on the people that are coaching, our kids and stuff. And speaking of that, mister Vincent Palazzolo, who was my Chorus director, who I've talked about plenty of times on this, Coach Mike Bachella, who I've talked about a lot as well. You know, who who said the phrase, you get better, you get worse every day. The choice is yours. You know? And, I still carry a lot of that stuff with me and, and coach Brown who has also unfortunately passed away. He ignited my love for science and math in a way that, I never knew that I had and, ended up in a couple of his classes, including AP Physics, my senior year, and I never thought I could get through through that class. I had so much self doubt, and he not only showed me that I could do it, but he made me confident in myself. And teachers do that kind of thing. It's not just about, you know, teaching math, teaching science. It's it's about teaching confidence and awareness and accountability. And so, to those teachers and to every other teacher out there, again, we say thank you. Charlie also shared one little story He came out to Los Angeles to be a to be a page at a network for a little while, and he didn't really love it. He wasn't having the greatest time, and he happened to be outside the price's right stage, and he bumped in to little QB 1 himself. He bumped into Zach Gilford. And he had a half hour long conversation with Zach about the business and all the things that come with it. And he said there has not been a kinder person that he has met, especially in this industry, then Zach Gilford. Oh my god. Now I think I think he was just putting that in there to get on the air. I think maybe he's fibbing. I'm not sure, but, you know, I mean, on a more believable story, one of my, good good friends, I'm not gonna name him. But, we became friends in the last couple of years, and he said, you you know,
Hello, everybody, and welcome in to another episode of it's not only football, blank, blank, blank, and beyond summer cruise edition. This is beefy. Honk honk. That's what it is. The Hong Kong gets me every time, and I'm sure it gets everybody out there too. Hello, everybody. Welcome back to another, you know what? I've been thinking about this. It's like a day cruise. We're actually just, like, going out for, like, a day. We're not, like, going out for nights at a time. You know, we're going out. We're having a party cruise. Yeah. We're coming back to shore. It's pretty quick up and down. We're gonna go on another one. We've we've we're gonna put the cruise director, just on hold just for the day because, well, he needs a day off. I mean, everybody needs a day off, and we're turning the cruise director over actually to our audience, today. We've been gathering your questions, your comments, your jokes, and, we're gonna tackle a bunch of them today. Yeah. See what I did there? Tackle? See them. Yep. Who needs sound effects? Yeah. I just do it myself. Actually, a lot of people hate that tackle sound that we put over the f bombs and the spoilers, but, we thought it was funny. Sorry if you didn't. Oops. Oops. Well, now you just have Scott doing it. But before we fire this whole thing up, if this week is not only football, for you, Zach, what what what would it be? I think it's gotta be your announcer voice. I just realized after 40 some episodes, it still makes me laugh and look away. Not laugh and look away. A little of the old laugh and look away. It's classic. So I'm just yeah. That's what it is for me this week. You know, you're not the only one out there who has something to say about my announcer voice. Actually, in the comments, someone named double dare Danielle commented and said, can we please talk about the largest elephant in the room? How is no one ever brought up the fact that Scott sounds exactly like a gentleman named Mark Summers from my u?
By so and so and so and so, and I ate there 4 times. The first time with Joe and Tommy, the second time with Jill and Jake, and I can't. I'm, like, cool, dude. That those are some superfluous details. Talking about the It is. It's you have a detail oriented. This reminds me of my uncle Ed who was a Jesuit priest who was had these giant Coke bottle glasses, and he was, like, even he he I think he only passed away, like, a year or 2 ago when he was, like, 98 or something like that, and he was so smart and so brilliant right up until the end. He could literally, like he spoke Latin. He, like, spoke ancient Greek. He remembered everything, and I you could literally go up to him and be, like, uncle, like, what was happening in, like, you know, like, Latvia in, like, 13/11? And he'd be like, not only would he, like, tell you exactly what was going on in history there, he'd also be, like, and, also, there's a delicious restaurant right around the corner on the blah blah blah where you can get it. Like, he knew everything. It was, like, incredible, and he loved food. And I remember one time we were at, like, Thanksgiving dinner, and he was, like, you know, we were all, like, laughing and talking and eating and all this shit, and he kind of was, like you could see him kinda getting going, excuse excuse me. We're getting a little worked up, but, like, my uncle's in the middle of this story, and we were kinda talking, and we were, like, oh, one second. And, like, we're and he was like, excuse excuse me. And then, like, all of a sudden, out of nowhere, he just, like, slams his fits down on the table and goes, now I was told there'd be ice cream, and I'm not getting any answers. He was so upset that he hadn't been served as ice cream yet, and he felt betrayed. I do have to say, I was gonna ask for an I wanted the imitation of uncle Ed, and you slipped it in the but I I was I was not expecting that to be Ed's voice. It's rare. He never it was it was, oh, oh, yes. I was very smart like this. He had a very, you know, like, heavy you know? But the it was really, like, the only thing I've ever seen him get worked up about was, like, food and then, like, Jameson. He loved it. We used to bring him out. I would
Like, Michael, like, who were those guys you're hanging out with? You know? And he's just, like, don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. Yeah. Like, I was trying to be that guy, and he was just, like, okay. You're you're cool. Like, don't worry about it. It's, like, I shouldn't have told them that you are cool. We should've taken your money. Wow. Yeah. It was pretty scary. It was, like, one of those moments where, like like I said, like, everything slowed down. I remember, like, all I could see was, like, the barrel of that gun and just, like, staring down it. It was it was it was crazy. I wish I'd known. That's really scary. And, you surprised your wife with, afternoon skydiving. I did. Was she prepared? Did she know it was coming? No. I took her to sushi, and then I was like, I got something fun to do. Ew. Not sushi. Before? Oh my god. I'm like, you're a pervert. And then we, like, you're a pervert. Like a bad person. That's what I'm Well, no. Hey. Let's let's go eat a bunch of raw fish. Yeah. Hey. Now we're gonna chop that rice. What? The rice will settle your stomach. But so then we drive up, and she's like, what are we doing? I was like, she's like, are we skydiving? I was like, yes. She's like, you can't surprise someone with that. Yeah. And I was like, why not? She's like, how do you know if I wanna go skydiving? And I said, well, I know you told me a story of, like, you were gonna go skydiving when you were working in Hawaii before, but then it was too windy so you didn't get to go. So I I was like, so in my mind that means you wanna go skydiving. You just lost your opportunity. She went. It was great, but, yeah, she was not, You are so cute. Lucky you found her. I swear to god. I don't know if she feels the same way. Here on It's Not Only Football, we have a couple of fantasy football fans. And to get ahead in Fantasy Football, sometimes you subscribe to a site that, you know, gives you a little bonus material before you hit your drafts, and then you forget about it. You know what? Rocket Money is there to make sure that you do not forget about it, that you are able to remember to stop subscribing to stuff you just do not need. Listen. Are subscriptions draining your wallet, your bank account? You know, the average person has around 12 paid subscriptions that they might not even remember, and and they definitely probably don't need. If you don't have any idea how much you're spending each month, you need Rocket Money to step in and let you know. They will
Help. You have a problem. No. I don't wanna help. I do it. You know? If you want something done right, do it yourself. And then Tear them down. I don't trust anyone else to change my child's diaper. Yeah. I mean, I don't either. I I'm I'm proud of of of the diapering that I've done in my life. Yeah. This is coming off the table. Your big awards. But that being said, we got to talk to her. I mean, that was kind of like our first conversation. She was like, do you need help? Can can I help you? She's so like, hey. You know, my father-in-law, he he absolutely adores you. He thinks you're awesome, and she's like, oh, hold on a minute. And she comes back, and she gave us for him a guitar pick that she had used on stage, and she signed the back of it. And now my father-in-law is the proud owner of a Taylor Swift signed guitar pick from an actual concert. It's a tiny singer. Woman is so cool. She's so cool. Well, this is actually, I think, a great segue. Hey. Wait. Woah. Woah. Woah. I think in my, it's not only football. Tarzan. How many do you need? That was you. Oh, yeah. Oh, okay. If if this week was not only football Oh, god. It is actually football, but not the football we play here in the United States. No. This week is about the women's World Cup, which if you are not watching it, I would, first of all, understand here in the states because it's in Australia. So literally, the games are on at 1 AM, 3 AM, but it has been an incredible tournament. I'm very solidly pulling for 3 teams. 2 of them just lost the last couple of days. Unfortunately, the US went out in a heartbreaker against Sweden, and Denmark, just lost today as well. So, rip to those 2 teams chances at, the World Cup championship, but my other favorite, Japan, is still in it, and they're looking fantastic. I've lived for a year in Japan, so fell in love with that nature of pulling for them. But, yeah, Denmark lost today to the Matildas, the the Australian national team. Why did you live there? I lived there because I worked for Tokyo Disneyland for a year singing. I was I played Pierre, the leader of the Mardi Gras festivities. It was me and 25 Japanese performers. I was the only gaijin, as they say, the only foreigner
