Can't get enough of the fan in the morning? Shown up. Because this is nothing like that. Twerking. Al and Jerry are here with stories they'd never get to cover on the morning show.
Very sexy robot.
Hey, look at that pig. Shenanigans. Naked yoga.
My mother had a bad experience with these goats.
Let's hump the fence. It's Al and Jerry's Post Game Podcast.
Hey, what do you say we do a podcast? Yeah, that's right. Here we are on Tuesday, Wednesday. Tuesday? Tuesday. What's up, Al?
Oh, hi there, Jared. I have two topics for you. One, what I spent my day doing yesterday. You know how I like to email places or I just like to dig in on something? Yes. I actually felt like this could have been a news segment. I was thinking, I was walking my dog. And again, this is every town USA right now. I mean, it does not matter the town you're in, Jerry.

Chapter 3: What health issues are associated with dog waste?
You're going to start shaving the tree root? Yeah, that seems like trouble. And the tree falls on your house. How about this? Pay attention where you're walking. Don't trip and fall. Like, everything has become, you know, liable. Yeah, yes. Take care of yourself, for Christ's sake. Right. Stop blaming everybody else. But that's the litigious world we live in now.
Yeah, we are in a very litigious society. Yeah. I might start a... I wonder if you could do, like, as a business. So it's difficult for a town to say, or to enforce, no pooping. No, you've got to pick up after your... The town can't enforce no pooping. Jerry, if you need to poop, you go ahead and poop. But you have to pick up after your dog. But very difficult to enforce.
What if I started a company? And I work with the town. I go to different towns. I say, listen, I'm going to have kids, teenagers, like 16s, whatever the legal working age is. They're going to patrol your town. And we're going to get evidence, photographs of who it is. And for each fine you levy, we take a percentage. Would you be into that? The town would raise money.
You're poop private investigators? Yes. Have you thought of this out loud? Just now.
Poop, private eyes. I mean. Poop patrol.
The town would hate you.
No, the town is going to start making money.
The town, the people in the town.
The people, yeah. No one's going to help you.

Chapter 4: How do towns enforce dog waste laws?
Then I was thinking this, too, because I walked by some poop that didn't look like dog poop. It looked like cat poop. What about all these people that have quote-unquote outdoor cats? Their cats are free to poop wherever they want.
No one's cleaning that up. They don't even realize it. Yeah. Right. I still don't get that. I don't understand how you have a cat as a pet and you just let it run and hope it shows back up in three days. Like, what the hell? Yeah, well, because you're feeding it so it knows to come back to you, right? No, I know, but the idea, where has it been? Yeah. You're going to let it roam your house then?
Like... I love animals, and I would have no problem rescuing a cat as the one we still have. The other one passed away, but the one we still have is a rescue that I got through Boomer. What was that? North Shore Animal League. She's amazing. She was a rescue, but guess what? She can go wander the streets and then come back. I'm not interested in that.
If I'm going to rescue, you're going to live in the house, and we're not going to go wander and fight with raccoons. And then bring some God knows what disease into the home. I don't know how people do that. I know. It's very strange. It's nuts. Right. And I have friends that do that. One around the corner from me who lives near a creek, which means there's weird animals all over the place.
And he has said she'll disappear sometimes for three and four days. Weird creek animals. What the hell is it doing out there? I don't know. God. Surviving. No, thank you.

Yeah. Right?
It seems to be a huge topic right now.
Well, because everything's skyrocketed.
But I was wondering, was there ever a time where we didn't think things were pricey?
No, but I think we're so out of control now that I think it's worse than ever. So you bring up a great point. Your parents have told you in the 80s their mortgage interest rates were 10% and 12%. So their mortgages were very high, I'm sure, but the cost of living wasn't as high. Now, salaries weren't as high either, so I get that.
I think the difference is, you know how you always do the discrepancy between... Like you bring up John Harbaugh's making $20 million a year. He can go out and buy a $5 million home, pay cash. He still has $15 million left over. For the one year. Right. Most people buy a home that have to spend 30 years paying it off because it's so far above what they make annually. I think to some degree.
The salaries, the cost of living is far exceeding the rise in salaries. And so the gap is widening, not to the extent of the crazy salaries and then the mortgage we're talking about. But I just think that gap has gotten bigger and bigger and bigger as expenses have grown. And while you get raises, they don't quite keep up with the inflation of the expenses. That makes sense.
