I'm Carrie Champion and this is season four of Naked Sports.
Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry,
Caitlin Clark versus Angel Reese.
Every great player needs a foil.
I know I'll go down to history.
People are talking about women's basketballs
just because of one single game.
Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports.

What's one chopper ride cost a patient?
I mean, usually the insurance gets billed.
We try not to like-
Of course.
Like $40,000, $50,000. One ride is One ride is 40 or $50,000. Holy moly.
I mean, it's an expensive operation.
I understand.
Tosh Show.
Tosh Show.
Tosh Show.
Hello and welcome to Tosh Show.
I'm Daniel Tosh.
How are you doing this morning, Eddie?
I'm pretty good there, Daniel.
How are you?
Good.
I'm doing great.
I was listening to Dead Eye Dick this morning, as I normally do.
Such an underrated band.
I mean, sure, they've got the one song, New Age Girl.
She don't like meat, but she sure like the bone.
New Age Girl. She don't like meat, but she sure like the bone.
I mean, but once you get deeper,
you're like, oh, this band was onto something.
When's the last time you heard New Age Girl?
I mean, maybe that was my first time.
I'm not familiar with this band.
You're not familiar with New Age Girl?
No, not at all.
She don't eat meat, but she sure like the bone.
I'm definitely checking it out on the ride home. You kidding me? Eddie doesn't know New Age Girl. There we go. Wow. Now I
don't know if you'd call Dead Eye Dick a one-hit wonder, but that one hit was a
grand slam walk-off in the World Series if you ask me. How was your weekend?
Pretty good. How about you? It was a long weekend. You know, as we know,
it was Labor Day slash Memorial Day. Nobody ever knows which one it is. So three days, but my
wonderful manager of 20-some years got married this weekend. And to say that it was an elaborate affair would be an
understatement. Now I don't go to a lot of weddings mainly because I don't like
them. Now was this different? I mean I had a lot of the anxiety. I was
fueling up on a modium preparing for the inevitable. Where's the bathroom run? But, no, I handled it.
It was in our neck of the woods. They rented the Dick Clark estate. Wow.
That place is beautiful. What a driveway. Holy cow. I mean, beautiful. I love a
beautiful driveway. You go back there meandering.
Just the whole thing.
Everybody that spoke.
And the wedding was funny because she obviously
is in the comedy business.
And I thought that was enjoyable.
I thought it went over really well.
And then the reception afterwards,
the speeches went on too long, per usual.
I always just think back to when I gave a speech
at my brother's wedding, I was like,
oh, he's a great guy, cheers.
I felt like that's all people really want, and let's go.
But anyway, this was the fanciest wedding
I've ever been to in my life.
I can't even guess what they spent. If you told me
it cost seven figures, I'd be like, yeah, I believe it. It made me think, oh wow, I'm paying too much
in commission. How many people are there? My guess is maybe 200. There's at least 75 staff members.
They brought things out all in unison even if it was like a
table of 40 people. The food, the staff, I got salsa on my jacket immediately.
Well, they had John and Vinny's mozzarella sticks came around. I
grabbed one, scooped it instantly, sauce down my jacket.
I mean we've heard about the mozzarella sticks. What about the dinner?
Oh the dinner. You had two options, a striped sea bass or a fillet. I did the fish.
But then there was also like some shareables that came to the table.
It was like a pasta and nobody wanted that. So I just ate out of the bowl.
I just can't, I said, nobody wants this?
Fine, I kept it next to me and I just ate.
Let me tell you about the desserts
and that will probably give you a scope of the wedding.
For starters, they had someone walking around immediately
with the cake. They had multiple
different kinds of cake, but that was the main wedding cake. And they had a candy store
set up where you would get bags and fill it up with whatever candy you wanted. And they
had all kinds of fun candy, candy cigarettes, the whole packs. So that there was also a
cookie station, just tons of different kinds of cookies. There was an ice cream
truck there so you could get ice cream. This is all in addition to the cakes.
Good Lord. Yeah exactly. I have to find out the number. You know it's
funny I got to finally meet Nathan Fielder, and that was delightful.
And then here's what my wife says to me after our interaction.
She goes, who would guess that you're the more awkward person in a social setting?
And I'm like, whoa, that's not fair.
I did my best.
He's hysterical.
But anyway, yeah, I always meet people
that are really interesting.
And then my wife nudges me and like,
you've known this person for 12 years.
My wife is like, what's his name?
From Veep.
Gary.
Gary.
Bad man.
Gary, she's just in my ear.
You've known this person for 20 years.
You know his wife, you know his kids.
Okay, go.
Did you get a gift?
I didn't do a gift.
You have one year from the wedding date to buy a gift.
Normally I cut a check, but I feel like that's not going to work with her because our relationship
is so long. I think I have
to do something. I'll probably end up doing like a like a hotel stay.
Get her a hotel stay at Great Wolf Lodge or something. That's that hotel that smells like chlorine because it's attached to an indoor water park.
I think she'd love that. Rent the whole place out. I mean I don't know what
it cost to rent the whole Great Wolf Lodge out. Probably what she paid for in
appetizers. If I write a check how much do I have to give as a gift? What are your thoughts? 1500? 1500? Oh, 7500.
$7500?
Yeah.
John's insane.
You're nuts.
500.
Okay, so Pete thinks 500, Eddie thinks 1500,
and John Elric, the guy who fucking always wants more money,
is telling me to give away $7,500.
All right.
Give it away.
You said fucking guess.
So I'm guessing I'm not giving away $7,500.
Holy shit.
That's all.
That's, that's now I've got pressure.
I got to talk to Carly when I get home.
I've created anxiety. you. Yeah, it's like a discussion.
Great Wolf Lodge, I might be able to do it back to back days.
Everybody was well behaved.
Nothing horrible happened.
I always worry, especially when you, you've got old people traveling from the East coast and now they're like, you know, back home it's, it's two in the morning
and now they're like, you know, back home, it's two in the morning. And now they're dancing and drinking.
And the dance floor was on a slight incline.
I was like, oh, this is a disaster.
Now had anything happened, today's guest can make it from Long Beach to Malibu
in under 10 minutes to save the day.
Enjoy.
Hey, I'm Gianna Pedente.

This summer, a lone gunman on a rooftop reminded us that American presidents have long been
the targets of assassins.
Nearly 50 years ago, President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than
three weeks.
A woman fired a shot at President Ford.
President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim.
A woman dressed in a long red skirt pointed a.45 caliber pistol at President Ford. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victor. A woman dressed in a long red skirt pointed a 45 caliber pistol at the president.
These are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president.
And the two assassins had never met.
One was a protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson.
She is 26 year old Lynette Alice Fromm, nicknamed Squeaky.
I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right hand woman.
The other, a middle aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in the violent revolutionary
underground.
Identified by police as Sarah Jane Moore.
Sarah Jane could enter into these areas that other people couldn't.
A spy, basically.

I'm Renee Stubbs, and I'm obsessed with sports,
especially tennis.
On the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast,
I get the chance to do what I love, talk about how
tennis and other women's sports are growing and changing and what the future holds.
I think I just genuinely loved what I did.
I love this waking up, putting on my sports gear.
I still believe it was so rewarding.
Maybe you can relate to it as well. As a woman, I think it's a very powerful feeling
to have a job at which you're able to see improvements
in real time.
On the show, we dissect everything going on in the game
straight from the biggest players in the world.
Plus, serve up recaps of all the matches
and headlines in the game,
including a rundown of the US Open every Monday.

Please welcome Flight Paramedic Phil.
Thanks for having me, Daniel.
Thank you for being here and thank you for all that you do.
Of course.
Where were you born?
I was born in Oxnard, California.
Oxnard.
You're familiar?
Oh man.
How's your Spanish?
Piquinto.
Yeah. Funny, growing up, Oxnard had this, like,
tourist initiative called Oxnard.
Only one traffic signal separates us from Malibu.
And it didn't work.
Oh, only one traffic signal separates you from Malibu.
Right. I didn't know that.
Oxnard's like a little slice of gross Florida
just right above Los Angeles.
Big slice. It's the just right above Los Angeles. Big slice.
It's the strawberry capital of the world.
It is, yeah.
They have the Strawberry Festival every year,
kind of what it's known for.
You ever been to Pirates Day in Ventura?
No, I've heard of it, but I've never been there.
Have you?
Yeah.
How was it?
It was an accident.
One day I just randomly was like,
hey, let's go up to Ventura and get lunch someplace
to my wife.
We never go up there.
And it was pirates day.
And everybody was dressed up like pirates.
And I was like, this is ridiculous.
No, I would love to see that, but no, I've never seen.
I stumbled upon it randomly.
You play guitar, you toured with bands,
and your dad was in a band.
He was, yeah.
Growing up in Oxnard, there was a very healthy and kind of supportive DIY punk scene.
It was Nardcore, does that ring a bell?
What's that?
Nardcore.
It's like Oxnard hardcore, admitted to one word.
So it was called-
No, I don't know that word.
Many wouldn't.
But it was kind of coined in the 80s.
The band's like Ill Repute, Stallog 13, and there's just been a punk scene in Oxnard
forever.
And I kind of got wrapped up in that as a kid.
You toured with the band as a roadie?
Yeah, I did roadie. I played a little bit too as well, but yeah.
Do you feel like you gave up, did you give up completely on that?
I mean, there was not much to give up.
It was just sort of like a fun hobby, you know.
You were a beach lifeguard.
I was, yeah.
Did you do that as a child where you took the lifeguard training classes as a kid?
Oh, the JG's, junior lifeguards. No, I never did that.
I was just swimming and playing water polo and stuff at Oxnard High. And yeah, as one does, you kind of get into lifeguard training classes as a kid. Oh, the JG's, junior lifeguards. No, I never did that. I was just swimming and playing water polo and stuff
at Oxnard High.
And yeah, as one does, you kind of get into lifeguarding
and swim instructor stuff, and it just sort of like
worked out that way.
Are you still a strong swimmer?
Strong-ish, I think so.
Did you watch the Olympics this summer?
I did.
Did you enjoy the water polo?
I did, I did.
How did we do?
We got third, actually.
Otherwise known as bronze.
Yeah, right.
Right. Did you ever save people on the beach? A couple, yeah. We got third actually otherwise known as bronze. Yeah
Had you ever saved people on the beach a couple yeah rip tides
Yeah, actually I definitely rip tides more worse is when you go out there and they're not drowning and they're like the fuck away From me. What are you doing out here? Oh kind of cause the scene you got it like back stroke back with your head between you know
Well, you were just you're I think I think Aaron on of, you know, being cautious is not a bad thing.
The water though, it's so cold.
Freezing.
And you just have to dive in with nothing.
Nothing, yeah, just your shorts and your buoy, that's it.
Back when you were a lifeguard, every year,
there'll be an article about the fact that lifeguards
in Los Angeles beaches make over $150,000 a year.
Yeah.
I mean, they work for the LA County Fire Department
in LA County, unless you're on like a smaller study
department, but those guys, yeah, they definitely do well.
They're just grandfathered in and it just keeps escalating
every year, it has to, or that's not base.
No, no, it's, they have seasonal and like permanent
lifeguards, so it's usually the permanent ones who do that.
Like the Baywatch guys are all lifeguards and they're also
like the paramedics of Catalina and stuff like that.
Were you a fan of Baywatch as a kid?
Not as much as I probably should have been,
but I enjoyed the scenery, you know.
Were you?
No, no I wasn't.
Although I did like that as a surfer,
the season that Kelly Slater embarrassed himself.
I do remember that.
And that was enjoyable.
Tell me how the transition from water polo, lifeguard, roadie led you into being an EMT.
I was working as a lifeguard on this beach in Ventura County called Silver Strand.
And if you had your EMT certification, you could ride on this ATV like around the beach.
And I was sitting on the tower and I was like, man, that looks kind of cool.
I could do that.
And I thought they were like badass.
I mean, in all honesty, they're like the lowest level of EMS.
But at that time I was like blown away by how cool they were.
So I went to Ventura College, took this EMT class and yeah, just kind of the
rest is history.
How long did that take?
The EMT class is like a semester.
That one's not anything.
It's like two nights a week.
And the paramedic program, which I went to later is like, it's like an
associates program through the college.
I mean, how long did you,
how long were you an EMT in a van?
The van-bulance?
It was like maybe like a year and a half
before I got into paramedic school.
And then you do like a paramedic internship,
and then yeah, you kind of start working on the ground.
Which one's more dangerous?
Probably the ground, going code three,
the lights and sirens through the city and stuff.
I would say that's a little more dangerous. Where does
EMT rank? Are you higher than a nurse, lower than a doctor? Where are you at? So
an EMT would be lower than like a nurse or a doctor, but there's like EMT,
paramedic, and then like critical care paramedic, which is what I do. So on the
helicopter we fly, it's like a three-man or three-person crew. It's pilot, critical
care nurse, and critical care medic. So on our level, fly, it's like a three man, a three person crew, it's pilot, critical care nurse,
and critical care medic.
So at our level, the medic and the nurse
are kind of all the same.
There's really no difference in scope
or what we do as far as practice.
But yeah, I mean generally the nurse would definitely
be like the higher level of care.
Can you write a prescription?
No.
Ah, shit!
How much work can you do on these people?
Kind of a lot.
I mean, especially on the helicopter, what we do, we do like a lot of like intubations,
we're doing chest tubes, we're doing like ventilator management and stuff like that.
So we're doing actually quite a bit.
Are you allowed to request if you want a helicopter versus the van?
I mean, I'm sure you could if you're in like a very remote area.
We have like membership programs and stuff like that to get people, but usually it's
in remote areas and we get activated by like a fire department or something like that
Were you ever nervous to fly in a helicopter? Not really. No, I've flown in a helicopter one time one time
Well, that's not true. I guess I flew in it twice
I flew it to a destination then back like Hawaii or something. No, no, I was working in Palm Springs
I was like, I'm gonna we're gonna go by helicopter nice
Like one of those casinos out there something but? Yep, but I'm like, I'm not doing that again.
What's one chopper ride cost a patient?
I mean, usually the insurance gets billed.
We try not to like, of course.
Like 40, $50,000.
One ride is 40 or $50,000.
Holy moly.
I mean, it's an expensive operation.
If you think about it. I understand.
I wasn't ready for 40 or 50.
I was ready for like 10.
It's such a short flight.
It's very short flight.
I mean, it's maybe like an hour or so tops.
But you know, you think of the fuel, the aircraft, the pilot, the nurse, the medic.
Well, I know, but if I rent a helicopter to fly to Palm Springs, it didn't cost 50.
How much did it cost?
I don't remember.
You don't remember?
15 each way.
Really?
That's not bad, actually.
Comparatively, I guess. I'm guessing, though. I don't remember. You don't remember? Fifteen each way. That's not bad actually. Comparatively, I guess.
I'm guessing though.
I don't really remember.
Are you responsible for getting all of the patient's insurance information before they
land at the hospital?
No.
That's by far the worst part of the job, but you're trying to deal with stuff like that.
We just get their ID and we'll get information from the receiving hospital, but I've worked
on the ground for places and we're supposed to get copies of the insurance card
and all that stuff and it just eats my soul.
It's like the worst part.
You're sometimes the last person people have spoke to.
Quite often.
They do die with us.
Or more worse is when it's the last person
their family speaks to while their family member's dying.
So we'll kind of go in there and they'll want us to start CPR,
but clearly it's been a long time.
Sometimes they don't declare people dead
until the hospital.
Is that just to make you sleep better at night?
No, that does not make us sleep better at night.
Usually because there's just criteria
for determination of death.
So it'll be like rigor mortis, levity,
acystole and contiguous leads, basically no heart activity.
So you're not allowed to say deceased?
Oh, we do, if that has a criteria.
But if they don't meet that, we kind of got to like work
the code kind of thing.
Are you squeamish at all?
Not really.
I don't think so.
I'm not either.
But I'm sure you've seen it.
I mean, I've definitely seen it.
We've had like nurse ride-alongs and stuff like that who are
full on fainted and stuff with us.
How many dead bodies have you seen?
I don't know, probably a few hundred, a few thousand maybe
over the course of the last 20 years.
Do you sleep well?
You have any PTSD?
Maybe, but I feel like I sleep okay usually.
You ever talk to somebody?
Do they force you to talk to people?
They were really bad about that in the beginning,
or at least when I started, but now they do this
critical incident stress debriefing.
My program has a thing called SIREN
where they can like, you go out of service
and you can talk to somebody if something bad happens,
like pediatric flourest or anything like that.
But I haven't had to, or I haven't initiated
using it much at all.
Do you believe in ghosts?
No, I don't.
Who pulls people off of the side of a cliff?
County helicopters, it's like the sheriff's department
or the fire department, something like that.
Okay, but you're not dropping a basket down. No, no, we're department or the fire department, something like that. But you're not dropping a basket down?
No, no, we're landing on the freeway and stuff like that.
So there's really two types of like mission profiles, they say, that we do.
There's the inner facility, which is taking somebody from like a smaller hospital to like
a bigger UCLA or Cedars or something.
Or we're doing what we call scene calls, which is where we're like landing on the 15 out
in Victorville and flying someone to like a hospital who's like a trauma patient or a
PEDS patient.
Because out there in the high desert where I started,
there's really no like trauma services,
there's no pediatric services.
So it's kind of a, ironically,
it's a desert for healthcare, so.
What about transferring like organs?
There is like a specialty company that does that.
We never do that.
Oh, you guys don't do that?
Yeah.
That always seems fun.
Like hurry before this heart stops working
We've had pilot to do that like they kind of do that before they got into EMS
They were doing like organ procurement transfers or something. What about how many pilots are in your helicopter? Just one
We're single pilot. Can you do anything if if he were to stroke out?
They try to like train us with certain like training modules and stuff what to do
But it's not gonna work out if they stroke out or pass out.
So you're done?
Yeah, we're done.
I just hope it's quick.
You fly with the same pilot all the time?
So we work 24s on the med crew,
but the pilots by FAA can only work 12 hour shifts.
So we have like a day pilot and a night pilot.
But is there ever a pilot where you roll your eyes
and go, okay, well, I hope to be back.
Oh, absolutely.
Yeah, exactly.
Like, please delete my history if we go down or something.
What about the small talk? Is there a lot of...
Between the two.
Oh yeah.
You're two professions. Are you guys...
Oh yeah, I mean we all like stay at the same base and we all sort of like live together at work
But there's definitely a lot.
You're kind of like firefighters?
Kinda, yeah. Similar.
So you're 24 on, 24 off, 24 on.
Yeah, then we have like five days off.
But then there's like overtime opportunities and they'll like kind of force you into overtime and stuff sometimes.
So your two days a week is
your schedule. Yeah. And does that, and that those two days rotate constantly?
Kinda, yeah it's never like the same two days, at least where I work. Uh-huh. So
it's called like, they call it like a Kelly schedule, but it's just like a
rotation. Do you get excited for like a big Labor Day weekend? Like oh it's gonna
be ticky? Oh no, sometimes I'm like oh it's gonna be terrible, it's gonna be busy.
But sometimes it's fun. Where I work we got to Catalina a lot, it's gonna be tick. No, sometimes I'm like, oh, it's gonna be terrible. It's gonna be busy. But sometimes it's fun.
Where I work, we go to Catalina a lot.
That's sort of our bread and butter.
Oh, that's a neat trip.
I've never been to Catalina.
Never.
Huh-uh.
I like that there's a few places just right around here
that I've never been.
Yeah.
I've never been to the Channel Islands either.
You ever been out there?
I have, yeah.
That's nice.
Yeah, super nice.
I gotta do that.
How long have you been here?
Since like the late 90s. Oh shit
How many calls are you getting during your average 24-hour shift it depends really like where I'm at now
We do like two maybe uh-huh and they take a little bit longer when you factor in like fueling
Transporting and charting and stuff, but when I started out in the high desert in Victorville, it's crazy out there
I mean, they don't call it victimville for for no reason. I didn't know they called it Victimville.
They do.
Uh-huh.
You ever delivered a baby?
I have delivered a baby, yeah.
I've delivered quite a few.
Oh, really?
Mm-hmm.
It's not that hard, is it?
Actually, it's not.
You know, just guard the perineum.
And it's usually by the time we get there
and they call 911, it's kind of halfway happening anyway.
Uh-huh.
We just have an OB kit,
and we just kind of assist the mom, really.
Oh, man. Mm-hmm.. Anybody ever name their kid after you? No I tried to make that joke
multiple times and they're not interested. Yeah. Nothing wrong with Phil. It's a good name.
Thank you. What about bad weather? Do you guys just like hey we can't go?
Kind of yeah I mean if it's really it's all we do monitor weather a lot so
there'll be like ceilings and weather forecasts and stuff we're looking at all
day. So there's two different types of flying there's a VFR so there'll be like ceilings and weather forecasts and stuff we're looking at all day.
So there's two different types of flying. There's VFR and there's IFR.
At my base we fly IFR, which means instrument flight rules, and you can kind of fly in the clouds and kind of use air traffic control to like vector you around.
But if you're a VFR or visual flight rules, you're not going to. I mean, you just use minimums.
And VFR, they don't have to even check in with? No, yeah, correct.
They just, it's a, the Squawk is 1200, it's a VFR.
I mean, here in Southern California, it's such a busy airspace, you kind of want to
check in and talk and there's like Class Bravo and different airspaces and all that stuff.
But you don't have to.
They don't have to.
You can just fly around wherever you want.
Now, do you put your lights on on your helicopter?
Do other planes have to get out of the way?
How does that work?
No, but there is like a medevac status with the air traffic control so
if we're like waiting to go somewhere if we say we're medevac then they'll just
kind of give us the priority. Uh-huh and you guys do that sometimes just because you're
impatient? Absolutely. What's the most random place your pilots ever had to put
that bird down? Definitely like an intersection in like Los Alamitos
outside the hospital maybe just like on like a mountain road up by Rim of the
World up there in San Bernardino.
Something like that.
Do you guys call it a bird?
Sometimes. A lot of the old like military pilots will drop that one for sure.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Do you like the military guys more? Do you feel safer with them?
Yes and no, I guess. They're all pretty safe.
But like that's just the main, I would say 80% of our pilots are like ex-army or Marine Corps.
Do they hot dog ever?
What do you mean?
You know, take cool turns.
No, everything's so tracked on like flight radar and stuff.
They're like very like conscious.
What about that thing when you take off and you nose down
and you just go like this, like just a few feet off the ground.
Yeah, that's for getting like ground effect.
Yeah, we do do that sometimes.
That's awesome.
Yeah, that's by far the best one.
Yeah.
Did you watch Air Wolf as a kid?
I did watch Air Wolf as a kid.
That's a Bell 222 helicopter. Ah, I don't know what you mean.
I'm going to sound super autistic right now, but I loved that one.
I mean, not at all.
You know what he means.
Yeah, yeah.
Just on the spectrum slightly.
Was Airwolf pretty accurate overall?
I mean, at the time I thought it was when I was a kid.
I loved that plane.
The bird.
I got to revisit that.
The bird, yeah.
Airwolf.
What was it?
It just had a turbo button?
Was that the big thing? Yeah, it had the button that would shoot the missiles or something like that. Oh, it did have a turbo button, too
You're right like it could fly as fast as a jet
Did you watch air wolf and street Hawk I didn't watch street Hawk
I don't know what that is Street Hawk was the motorcycle much like much like Knight Rider
But Street Hawk he had a button on his birthday where he could
Go up in the air.
Oh, shit.
And like had these jets that would like lift it and turn it around.
It couldn't fly, but it could like levitate for a bit.
Anyway, I don't want to bring up Kobe Bryant, but what if you get a call, the flight conditions
are total shit, but there's, is that person, does the person just die wherever they are?
Like, yeah, we can't get there.
No, we'll kind of like land somewhere safe and practical.
Like where Kobe was, he was in Calabasas right over here.
So they could have like landed.
I mean, I'm not armchair quarterbacking,
but you know that he, that was, I'm saying a crash
that nobody's, there's nothing to do.
Totally.
They always say the problem with a lot of these
like celebrity people that are flying these things,
the biggest problem is their get theiritis.
Totally. Where they just like force them to go.
Which is a weird thing that I should never be able
to force a pilot to do something, but anyway.
It's like implied pressure, right?
They have to get there, they're going to piss off
the customer, piss off the client.
Definitely the air medical community
and air medical side is very like cautious about that.
They harp on that stuff very well.
And like, you know, we're very like safe
and standards and VFR minimums are always like...
And you guys can fly in fog though. You can successfully fly in fog.
We can. I mean, not fog to the ground usually because we need like minimums to like lift from the ground
and to get like vectored around. But we fly in, yeah, in like...
I have no idea how helicopters work.
Pretty soon we won't need the pilots or the helicopters. We just need you and a drone.
Right? It's going to be like the Waymo system or something.
I think they are really working on that.
I know, I think that would be exciting.
Then we start typing in coordinates and you get there.
Right.
You ever hung from the landing skids?
No, it's been a dream of mine, but I've never done it.
That would be good.
I once saw the rock do it.
Man, it looked incredible.
I think he only had one arm in this movie too.
Is that true or do you have one leg?
Maybe he had one leg.
Are we talking San Andreas?
Is that what we're talking, that movie?
No, I don't know if it was that movie,
but it was a garbage movie like that.
Skyscraper.
Skyscraper.
As a pedestrian, you ever save someone?
Never, never once.
You never jump into action?
I don't have like a jump bag and like gloves and all this stuff.
If somebody was like actively choking or dying, sure.
But if I see someone fall and there's really nothing I can do, I'm probably not going to do it.
I mean, I'll get in there and help maybe get some information for like the paramedics when they do get there.
Like a name or anything like that.
But it's never happened. You've never been first on the scene at a car accident?
Never.
I have.
Really?
I jumped on top of a tipped van and was like trying to pull a guy out
because I thought the van was gonna explode.
Then when the fire department came,
they said, they don't explode.
Cars don't explode, that's like in movies.
He goes, just leave them in there, we'll get them.
I was like, oh.
I was like, I was trying to rip them out.
That's a good move though.
That's a good karma move though.
Yeah, you know who else I saw during that accident?
As a matter of fact, what's his name?
I don't know actor's names.
From entourage drama.
Oh, Johnny Drama.
I saw Johnny Drama.
Is that Kevin Dillon?
Yeah, he was watching me.
He was watching me in action.
I'm just like trying to get people.
This van just ran a red light, T-boned a small car, flipped.
It was just chaos.
I was like, oh boy.
Did you have the family with you and everything?
You're like, I'll be right back.
I did, I just pulled out the car and I just ran.
I was like, I gotta help, I gotta help people.
Oh, it was my instinct.
Turns out I was just,
I was probably just doing so much more damage to this guy.
By the way, that guy was a drunk.
We call that job security.
What's the one thing people do wrong constantly?
They're like, oh, because of what you've seen,
you're like, I'll never do this.
I don't know.
Maybe like motorcycles with no helmets.
Maybe just motorcycle.
I mean, I did go through a motorcycle phase.
I'll admit that.
You did?
Yeah.
My mother was a nurse for 60 years.
Really?
60?
60.
She's old.
Yeah, my mom was too in Ventura.
She was a nurse?
Yeah.
Okay, the only thing my mom ever,
like one of the ground rules was like,
don't do heroin, but also don't ride a motorcycle.
She's like, just don't do it.
She goes, I just see it all the time.
Now it's weird, because in Florida, where I grew up,
you don't have to wear a helmet.
Still to this day?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They said that they've proven that you don't need helmets,
but they think we're crazy here in California
because in California, you're allowed to split traffic.
I don't think any other place allows that.
But now, do you know the reason
that we're allowed to split traffic?
They say that it's safer for motorcycles to split traffic because people always kind of like
pay attention to the car in front and end up rear-ending motorcycles too much.
I mean, we don't get a lot of splitting-related accidents or injuries that I've seen, at least personally.
The problem with splitting is you're only technically allowed to go 10 miles an hour faster than the flow of traffic.
And sometimes traffic is at a dead stop
and people are splitting at 80 miles an hour.
Right, I thought you could only do it when it was dead stop.
I didn't know you could like pass cars and then.
What are you talking about?
You had a motorcycle, you didn't know this?
No.
You never seen it?
No, I mean I've seen it on the 101
when you're just stopped and there's cars
like buzzing right by you.
Oh man, they split like crazy. Pete's got a motorcycle, he doesn't drive it, but he has one. Thinks he's cool.
He is. I had a Vespa. I had a P2 and I had split traffic on that.
Do you do a motorcycle license for a Vespa like that? Yep. You do? I didn't get one.
I rolled the dice. Florida. No, I didn't. Here I drove it here. Oh really? Yeah, yeah, I used to. Because I would take it to short-term
parking at LAX and you could free park. Really? Yeah, yeah, I used to, because I would take it to short-term parking at LAX,
and you could free park.
Really?
Yeah, motorcycles are free.
Then you gotta bring all your shit with you.
No, I know, it's awful.
I just had something go over the shoulder.
It was bad.
That's me as a young person, though.
You ever thought about being a set medic
on like film and television?
I know a lot of guys who do that, actually.
I haven't thought about it.
It's decent money.
That's what I've heard.
You have $500 a day to sit at craft service and just like hit on everybody.
I see their Instagram stories all the time, posting pictures of stakes and yeah, exactly.
They pass out Advil.
Like they have to sit you down before they give you to Advil and like tell you, okay,
here's to Advil.
What a racket.
I mean, I'm pro-union and all, but what a racket.
Yeah, sure.
You're pro-union.
Let's get into some serious stuff. Let's do it. You have four cats. Oh shit
Yes, that's so many cats one cat is a lot one cat or cats
Yeah, it's a blended family Daniel like I had to I adopted two and then I moved in with my girlfriend
She had two cats and are you worried what JD Vance thinks of you? Yes. Oh
My girlfriend. Oh man. She doesn't love him? Does not love him. Why?
She is a childless cat lady. How long you been dating her? A little over a year now.
Are you guys taking it to the next level? We are yeah. And getting more cats? No she
put her foot down at four yeah. Uh huh. I mean I guess I did too I don't know why I
said it like that but. Oh but you were implied that you are you getting engaged? Yeah we
did get engaged. You got engaged. Congratulations. Thank you
When's the big date? We don't know yet. I haven't gotten that far yet. That's nice. Mm-hmm. Not really taking it very seriously
You've been married before I have yeah, how long that last like not even two years
I mean I give it the old junior college try I guess
How did you meet your fiance?
Was she trapped on the side of a mountain with a broken leg?
That would have been a much better story,
but it was just on the internet.
Oh, I was hoping for a meet cute.
What's that?
A meet cute?
Meet cute, oh, like when you meet someone.
Yeah, it's just like the beginning of every Hallmark movie.
I don't know if you ever watch Hallmark Christmas movies
or something like that.
They do meet cutes, like, oh, they bump into somebody
while they're buying their Christmas tree.
Like, I met him at Arowan or something, yeah.
Oh, well, that's a great place.
You go to Arowan?
Sometimes, there's one in Studio City, yeah.
You're spending, you're spending.
That's expensive.
Hey, your cats eat that kind of food, too?
No, no, they get like chewy online stuff, I don't know.
I don't know.
We almost had a dog sponsor on this show.
Really? I was excited about it, but then they told me, my dogs had to eat it, and I'm like, get the fuck out of here. We almost had a dog sponsor on this show.
I was excited about it, but then they told me my dogs had to eat it.
I'm like, get the fuck out of here.
My dogs aren't eating that shit.
Do you do like the, I mean, how do I say the brand?
Do you do like farmer's dog?
I do just food for dogs.
And I plugged them multiple times.
They've not yet ever sent me up even a single bag.
They charge me $500 every two months or something.
I don't know what it is.
You excited about this upcoming election?
You know, I am now.
I wasn't initially when Joe was around,
but I'm liking this wall.
Joe's still around, okay?
Have you seen him?
I haven't seen him.
Joe's doing great.
He just vacationed up in a Santana.
Yeah, they were looking,
cause we had like a TFR,
temporary flight restriction,
all up there above Santa Barbara,
so we couldn't really fly up there.
Cause he was there like home shopping or something.
Oh, is that where Joe's going to end his days?
Shumash Casino.
Oh, I love it.
Don't you knock it.
I just played there.
Really?
Yeah, it was last week.
That's where we used to go when we were kids because you could go gamble there when you're
18.
Oh my God.
Shumash, they're great.
I've never won anything there.
Oh, they're great folks.
You like to gamble?
I do.
I don't know if I want my EMT to be like big in the hole.
Right.
Oh.
Just going through your stuff.
Like there's his wallet.
What's your game of choice?
College football.
What's your team?
Usually I just wanted to see the SEC lose.
That was like the main goal.
I did view, when the Pac-12 was doing their thing,
I was kind of into that as well.
I just, I literally texted someone yesterday,
fuck the SEC. Oh, they did horrible this weekend too. I just want to see Paul Fin fuck the SEC. They did horrible this morning
I just want to see Paul Finnebomb like making excuses
You know I'm big on this year. I'm gonna. I'm gonna call it. I'm big on the you
I like that I mean they destroyed Florida in at the swamp. Yeah, that was great
I know I told I told my father-in-law he who made me a bet that Florida would finish over 500
I said go ahead and send me a hundred dollars now
Absolutely, and you see I've plays them in the swamp October 5th. That's a big 12 school now though who made me a bet that Florida would finish over 500, I said, go ahead and send me that $100 now. Absolutely.
And UCF plays them in the swamp October 5th.
That's a big 12 school now though.
I know.
Is there still gonna be a UCF-UConn rivalry?
Remember that one?
No.
Oh yeah, they had like a made up rivalry
called the Civil Conflict or something.
That is stupid.
That is the dumbest thing.
How do you know so much about UCF?
I don't know that much about it.
I just listened to this stupid sports podcast. Sure. Do you consider that undefeated UCF? I don't know that much about it. I just listen to stupid sports podcasts.
Sure.
Do you consider that undefeated UCF season a national championship?
No.
Are you one of those guys?
No.
But do I have a national championship shirt? Yes.
Absolutely.
Yeah, of course. Because it's anything to antagonize Alabama.
Yeah, right. Exactly.
Are you watching TV up there?
Yeah. I mean, not up in the helicopter.
Could you? Oh, no. I'm just saying, well, if a good game's going on, why aren't you?
I'll be refreshing some of those.
You're not just flying around ever?
No, I mean, sometimes we'll do like training flights and stuff for the pilots, but we're not usually just flying around.
Do you ever bring your fiancee on a flight?
Never. She's been to the base and stuff and hung out with her whole family.
Can I do a ride along with you?
Absolutely, you could, yeah.
Where I can fly and everything?
Yeah, absolutely.
I don't get in people's way?
How much room is there?
Not a lot, but there's enough for one more.
Oh.
I mean, we have a bigger helicopter at my base.
It's a twin engine, Bell 429, so we can.
Is there a bathroom on that helicopter?
No, no.
What would, you ever had like a little stomach issue?
Where you're like, oh, I need to.
All the time.
Not all the, I need to take that back.
Not all the time, but I've definitely like.
It's happened?
Yeah, because especially when you're going
up to altitude kind of quick, the gas expand, you know, like.
What do you do?
You just white knuckle it, I guess.
Just ride it out.
You've never hung out?
Never, no, no.
That would be the end of my career if I did that.
They would hear about that.
Who would hear about it?
We'd hit bases from Alaska to Lee County, Florida.
They would hear about it.
It'd be everywhere.
I'd see, that's why certain professions
are off limits to me.
Cause of my stomach.
You got a bad stomach?
A horrible stomach.
Really?
Yeah.
I've never been really diagnosed,
but I just have, you know,
years and years, decades and decades of every year
knowing that I'm going to shit myself
at least once or twice.
So you do that annually?
You shit yourself, would you say?
Oh shit.
Yeah.
You know, long since the days where it's actually
in my pants, now it's like, if I have to,
I'm like running in the woods and you know,
I'm on the PCH climbing down a rock cliff
and like hiding in a cove.
That's my world.
I thought you were just gonna say like backstage
at the HaHa factory or something like that.
No, I'm not, first of all, I'm above the HaHa factory. I'm over at the haha factory or something. I'm not first of all I'm above the haha
I'm over at the Chumash casino
How dare you for beautiful green room bathroom you ever find random things inside of humans?
Yes, absolutely. I found multiple random things inside of one human one person. Yeah, he had like an awolo thermos
Where was it in his ass in his ass. Ah. Yeah, with an avocado.
He had a...
Ah!
And...
Ah!
Hold on.
He had a thermos?
Yes.
Up his butt.
Yep.
And an avocado.
Which was first?
The thermos.
The thermos was first and he chased it with an avocado?
Yes.
And then there was a Swiffer stick.
He was trying to pry it out.
It was just like...
So he was trying to get around it?
He was, yeah.
Just to like, pry it out. But a Swiffer stick is he was trying to get around it? He was, yeah. Just to like, ply it out.
But a Swiffer stick is at least...
That's not like...
You know what he needed?
I've got one of those long metal shoe horns.
Oh, yeah.
That would have been probably a little more practical.
That probably could have done it.
Wait, wait, hold on.
How did you know this was in his butt?
Well, he called 911 in the middle of the night
and he was like, my stomach hurts.
And I was like, okay. And he's like, have you ever and he was like, my stomach hurts. And I was like, okay.
And he's like, have you ever heard of people
putting things inside their ass?
And I was like, I mean, I guess.
Okay.
But then, yeah, he fessed up.
I was like, what's in there?
And he's like, just told me, yeah.
Okay, so you didn't actually have to get it out.
No, no, I just gave him some pain medicine
and took him to the emergency room.
And what did they do?
I think he had to have like some sort of like surgery
and dilate his. Does your butt hole dilate? I think you had to have like some sort of like surgery and dilate is.
Does your, does your butthole dilate?
I mean, he got it in there.
So yeah, that's amazing what people can get in their butts.
That's just amazing.
You use wet wipes?
Sometimes. Yeah.
Is that a sponsor of the show?
No.
But why isn't it?
Cottonel. Let's go. Anyway, yeah. Is that a sponsor of the show? No. Oh, okay. But why isn't it? Cottonelle, let's go.
Anyway, sorry.
So that guy had, that guy had,
that's the only person with things inside of him?
Yeah, I would say so.
Why did he need a helicopter ride?
Oh, he didn't need, this was when I was working on the ground,
on the ground ambulance.
Yeah, this was just a regular 911 call.
And do you say ground ambulance?
Yeah. That seems stupid.
Yeah, I mean, it is when you're flying.
It is stupid.
But I think when you start flying that's what you say
Like oh they went by ground like it's like a way to
differentiate
cuz I once
Knew this guy that played frisbee golf way too seriously and he one time in conversation told me, you know ballgolf
And I said hold on you don't get to say
asshole, they're just golf
When you were a roadie you were a roadie for a band
or punk band.
I always mocked bands and you'll appreciate it.
Because when you guys are on the struggle,
it's still you're hanging out with your buddies.
Even if you hate them, you know, you're with a group.
So it's like, that's not that hard.
Being alone in a Honda Civic driving around the country,
that's the depressing one.
Is it you just in like a tour manager or is it you?
No, there's no tour manager.
You're making 200 bucks a week.
Oh shit, definitely no tour manager.
You're just sitting in your Honda,
you're edging all day while you're driving
just to stay awake.
But then the flip side of that is my $200 a week,
I at least got to keep it.
You guys are spreading it five ways.
That's awful.
And there's just so much extra stuff.
You guys have so much junk.
Yeah, especially at like the lower level
we were doing it at.
You're in a van, there's guitars, drums,
you're trying to sell t-shirts no one's buying,
CDs, records.
You still have any year old t-shirts?
Oh yeah, I definitely sell some.
That's pretty good.
What size shoe are you?
11 and a half.
Oh good.
Yeah?
Good, yeah I'm excited about that.
Okay, why?
I'll tell you why.
I give everybody that's on my show,
I give them a gift.
It's just stuff from my house that I'm getting rid of.
Okay.
Okay, I got a lot of 12s.
Ooh, okay. Shoes that I gotta get rid of. Okay. Okay. I got a lot of 12s Shoes that I got to get rid of because
Wardrobe they write on shows they give you stuff, but I don't wear them right you don't wear so many shoes
I don't even have shoes on currently. I got my bombas on anyway, bring me out bring me out my bin of shoes
That you're interested in I mean you can just so you get it
You can tell I guess that looks like it's been worn, but not often barely though. Whoa. Yeah sure tons of them
This is definitely above my pay grade. Yeah, those are golden goose. I'm told they're not as cool anymore
What do you need? What do I need? Do you need any shoes? Yes, I always need shoes. I mean they're just
Those are good. I like those.
For real?
Yeah, yeah, I do like those.
Don't stop.
I'm not stopping.
I saw those running shoes in there.
I might, I might.
You like a pair of running shoes?
I do like a pair of running shoes.
You should just take them all.
I love it.
I'm gonna show up home with a,
oh, you got dress shoes in there?
I'll take them.
Do you wear sweaters?
I do wear sweaters.
Bring me that other bin.
Oh, now we're talking.
Let's see.
Oh, this, this.
By the way, you can tell that's been dry cleaned because I hear the paper in there.
That is.
That's got to have hood.
I don't know if you want that.
Go ahead.
You're a cat person, so sweaters are great.
They are great.
They're going to love.
Oh, I like this.
Okay. Whatever. You take them all. cat person, so the sweaters are great. They are great. They're gonna love, oh, I like this, okay.
Whatever, you take them all.
Whatever, you better do it now, because if you don't.
That's a deep V, I don't know if I can do that anymore.
Yeah, you know, a deep, oh man, I used to love it.
So did I.
I can't imagine doing that now anymore.
What about, look at this one.
You like that one?
Is that too?
No, no, no, it's good, I like it.
That's John Varvatos.
Oh man.
Is that too hideous for you?
That's a cardigan, I think.
No, I like it. It is a cardigan. Ooh, it's got French on it, you, it's good. I like it. That's John Varvatos. Is that too hideous for you? That's a cardigan, I think. No, I like it.
It is a cardigan.
Ooh, it's got French on it.
You know it's good.
It's got French on it?
I mean, I think, right?
Is that?
Uh huh. Oh yeah.
I was like, please tell me that's French.
OK, good shot.
Thank you.
No, thank you.
Yeah.
Anytime I get rid of stuff, I get excited.
Do you ever write things down in a journal?
No, I don't.
Well, because I had one more thing,
but you don't, it's one of my joke journals,
but I don't like it.
And it's only got, I've only written one joke in it.
Can I hear the joke?
Well, I just write ideas of a joke in here.
So it's not really, it's just my wife
has made me a better person.
The problem is I've made her a worse person
that I find extremely annoying and I'm not in love with.
That's all I've got.
That's all I've got in this notebook so far.
So I was like, this notebook's no good,
so I'll get rid of it.
It's too, whatever, you're not a notebook guy.
I'll save it for somebody else.
Oh, you know a gift I should give him?
I interviewed this doctor and I gave him a gift and he took it but then he's like when we cut the interview he's like, oh I don't want that.
And I was like, ah jerk. Give me that massage gun.
Yeah, okay.
Now we're talking.
I will not leave that behind.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah. I don't even know if this thing should work right.
Oh yeah.
It's got a bunch of attachments.
Get the attachments.
Give me the attachments.
Oh, go ahead. Put that on you.
Feel that.
Oh, that's good stuff.
Yeah.
God, I am coming out here with a haul.
Get this off my desk.
Oh yeah, sure.
Has anybody that you've saved ever reached back out to you? You know, not me personally, but that does happen.
Usually it's for like kind of a photo op,
newsy kind of thing.
It does happen, but no, not like organically.
Like you would probably,
I don't know how it would be possible,
but if somebody were to like do a deep dive into everyone
and do a where are they now,
that would be very interesting for you.
Well, let's bring them on out.
Yeah.
Yeah.
How long are you gonna do this?
I don't know.
I got no plans to change right now, I guess,
as long as I can, you know.
Well, we appreciate it and I hope I never have
have you land near me.
Although if you do land near me, it's probably because I'm being a good Samaritan.
Right.
And just trying to help people.
Yeah, exactly.
All right, Phil.
Cool.
Thanks for being here, man.
Yeah, of course.
Hey, I'm Gianna Prenti.
And I'm Jeme Jackson-Gadsden.
We're the hosts of Let's Talk Offline, a new podcast from LinkedIn News and iHeart Podcasts.
When you're just starting out in your career, you have a lot of questions.
Like, how do I speak up when I'm feeling overwhelmed?
Or, can I negotiate a higher salary if this is my first real job?
Girl, yes!
Each week, we answer your unfiltered work questions.
Think of us as your work besties you can turn to for advice. And if we don't know the answer, we bring in experts who do, like resume
specialist Morgan Sanner. The only difference between the person who
doesn't get the job and the person who gets the job is usually who applies. Yeah,
I think a lot about that quote. What is it like you miss a hundred percent of
the shots you never take? Yeah, rejection is scary but it's better than you
rejecting yourself. Together we'll share what it really takes to thrive in the early years of your career
without sacrificing your sanity or sleep.

This summer, a lone gunman on a rooftop reminded us that American presidents have long been the targets of assassins.
Nearly 50 years ago, President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks.
A woman fired a shot at President Ford.
President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim.
A woman dressed in a long red skirt pointed a.45 caliber pistol at the president.
These are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president.
And the two assassins had never met.
One was a protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson.
She is 26 year old Lynette Alice Fromm, nicknamed Squeaky.
I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right hand woman.
The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in the violent revolutionary
underground.
Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore.
Sarah Jane could enter into these areas that other people couldn't.
A spy, basically.
The story of one strange and violent summer.
This season on Rip Current.

I'm Renee Stubbs, and I'm obsessed with sports, especially tennis.
On the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast,
I get the chance to do what I love,
talk about how tennis and other women's sports
are growing and changing,
and what the future holds.
I think I just genuinely loved what I did.
I love this waking up, putting on my sports gear.
I still believe it was so rewarding.
Maybe you can relate to it as well.
As a woman, I think it's a very powerful feeling to have a job
at which you're able to see improvements in real time.
On the show, we dissect everything going on in the game straight from the biggest players
in the world.
Plus, serve up recaps of all the matches and headlines in the game, including a rundown
of the US Open every Monday.

I want to thank Phil for being on the show.
Isn't that crazy?
The guy just wanted to ride a four wheeler, ends up changing his life.
That's what I took from that interview.
See somebody on a four wheeler goes, that looks cool.
I guess I'll be an EMT fly around in helicopters.
All right.
It's time for Tosh's teasers brought to you by DraftKings.
My Tosh's teaser this week is gonna be from the WNBA. I'm
taking the last place bottom dwellers, the Dallas Wings, to upset the first
place New York Liberty. The game that I'm putting my money on is on September 12th,
not the game that they're playing tonight, September 10th in Dallas.
Even a bad team, you don't beat them back to back.
And a New York team on September 12th, they're going to be emotionally drained.
Seems like a slam dunk.
All right.

Now before we leave, I want to give back to the community in our new segment, Free Plug. This is
for St. David's Episcopal Church in Ashburn, Virginia. They're looking for a new organist
to play their 10 a.m. Sunday service. They do a blended style service so you'll need to be able to play everything from your standard gospel hymns, folk, and contemporary
worship music. It's also not a solo act, okay? You'll be joined by choir, guitar,
bass, drums, harmonica, and piano. And our Lord and Savior Jesus, he'll be joining
you. Anyway, if you know how to play a church organ,
give St. David's Episcopal Church
in Ashburn, Virginia a call.
Tell them your friends over at the Tosh show sent ya.
This is a paid position.
Is the harmonica position paid?
And are they paid the same?
Because I find that ridiculous.
It's probably why the Oregon player walked.
Like, I can't deal with this bullshit.
I know how to play an Oregon.
This guy's over here humming.

There's a lot to figure out when you're just starting your career. That's
where we come in. Think of us as your work besties you can turn to for advice. And if
we don't know the answer, we bring in people who do, like negotiation expert Morrie Tehary
Poore. If you start thinking about negotiations as just a conversation, then I think it sort
of eases us a little bit. Listen to Let's Talk Offline on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. In California during the summer of 1975,
within the span of 17 days and less than 90 miles, two women did something no other woman had done
before, tried to assassinate the president of the United States. One was the protege of Charles
Manson, 26 year old Lynette Fromm, nicknamed Squeaky.
The other, a middle-aged housewife
working undercover for the FBI.
Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore in her 40s.
