Welcome to Toss Show. It's 6 a.m. somewhere, and that place is not here right now, but it is when this episode is released on YouTube.

If it's Tuesday morning and you're on the West Coast. How you doing, Eddie? Pretty good. I'm in a great mood because I dodged a bullet. Okay. As you know, Dylan, the guy that's always...

screwing up the audio on this show drops a bomb. It's a small studio that we're in, and then after we recorded the other day, he texts us all and says, hey guys, just so you know, I tested positive for COVID. Well, isn't that great? I'm about to go on vacation with my family.

So thank you for that. Now I got to pretend that I'm taking it seriously and I got to test. So I barely put the swab just on the very rim of my nose. I try not to touch the sides at all. Oh, look, I'm fine. Hey, what an asshole. He shouldn't, he shouldn't test at the, before I'm going on vacation.

I got a family and kids. I got to pretend like I care. The only way to test positive, I've always said this, is to take a test. Makes sense. Yeah. I didn't get it, and that's all that matters. But I do want Dylan to know he is a selfish prick. A selfish prick. Stick to audio issues. Don't mess with my physical well-being.

Or my mental well-being, for that matter. How'd your vacation go? Oh, Eddie, thanks for asking. My vacation went amazing. Now, I was nervous going in because it was with my in-laws. We were bringing the in-laws down to Mexico. We were bringing my wife's siblings. I was like, oh, this is a recipe for disaster because I can usually only go...

two to three hours without saying something that one of them will stew on for the next six years. So you're, you're telling me we're going to do five days. Oh, it was tough, but I think I did well. And we were celebrating my father-in-law's retirement. I mean, I can complain a little bit. I had everything taken care of. Nice home.

you know, had a staff at this home that was just, you don't get better service. And I mean this anywhere on the planet than you do in Mexico. They're just, they just get it. They get customer service. They do things right. Uh, we had a chef, uh, you know, a bartender at this house. It was just amazing. So they're always just making drinks or just always, uh, you know, uh,

The breakfast, we were at eight o'clock, let's have breakfast. And it was like an hour long, just made amazing things. And then, you know, two of my wife's siblings, they don't ever wake up till 11. So then the staff has to,

cook round two of breakfast, which I find very annoying. Now the day's schedule's all off. We're going ziplining without you. That's what I scream as they're eating eggs at 11 o'clock. I mean this with all due respect. My in-laws, all of them, every single one would die in minute one if ever faced with a disaster.

I just walk into the beach. I go, Oh, I'm going to go grab some more stuff. So you guys don't have to carry it. I walk back, uh, uh, my wife's cousin and my father-in-law and my son just have to continue walking straight for another hundred feet. I get maybe 50 feet away. My son's in the ocean. What happened? Oh, wave just washed them in. What? Yeah.

How did that happen? Same beach, next day, my sister-in-law, I look back over my shoulder, she's in the ocean. She lost her hat. And she's chasing it. Now she's in the ocean. Big shore break. Dangerous. Okay.

Good luck, guys. This was all for my father-in-law's retirement, which is just a long time coming. Now, I didn't do anything special for my real parents when they retired, but neither of them had an illustrious 49-year career in banking. Today's guest did.

Enjoy. Say yes to summer and get cash back on many of your favorite brands with PayPal, which, let's face it, comes in very handy during the summertime. Everyone is ready for summer activities, which is why using PayPal is a great way to say yes to the summertime fun. Say yes to getting an extra jet ski for your summer cabin. Say yes to getting one of those adapters that you hook to your jet ski that makes you fly up in the air. Heck, summer is coming.

Say yes to getting another jet ski. Nobody's ever been like, that's too many jet skis. Use it to pay a babysitter so you and the wife can head downtown to that new buffet that just opened up. You can also send money with PayPal to friends, which means going halfsies when your bros visit this summer. With even more cash back in your pocket when you pay with PayPal, saying yes to summertime fun just got a whole lot easier.

Make sure to download the PayPal app. An account with PayPal is required to send and receive money, redeem points for cash and other options. Terms apply. Ah, ah, the sounds of back to school time. There's plenty to ugh about this time of year. So let Cane's take something off your plate by putting something on it, like hand-battered chicken fingers and cane sauce.

My guest today loves nothing more than to fall asleep to a Florida Gator football game, except maybe pocketing loan application fees from struggling small businesses. It's his seed that brought forth to the world the mother of my children. Please welcome, all the way from my guest house, my father-in-law, Greg. Thank you, Daniel. Daddy. Daddy.

Hi, son. Now, normally I call you dad or grandpa. I like it. A lot of people don't like calling their father-in-law's dad. I immediately went with dad. Did you have issue with that? Not at all. I could start calling you papa. Do you like papa? How about papa number two? Sure. Or Greg is fine. Oh, now your name's not Greg. Your name is John. John Gregory. And there's a long line of Johns, correct? That is correct. How long?

Seven generations. And you named your oldest son John as well, but he goes by Jordan, right? That's correct. Is that John, his first name or middle? First. Has to be the first name. Has to be the first name. Are you upset that I did not do that with our first son? Not at all. Okay, because he already took care of it? He did. Has anyone ever said that you look like a sexy Steve Bannon? No.

God, is that a compliment? No. Well, I said sexy in front of it. Does he kind of look like a sexy Steve Bannon? That is not a compliment. Sorry, Steve. Not a compliment. Oh, you're apologizing to Steve Bannon? Fuck that guy. He's in jail. That's right. What's our age difference, by the way? Do you even know it? Hold on. 21 years? 22 years? So you could be my dad. I could, but I'm not. No. Well, that would be weird.

Your grandkids would be super funny looking. Not tall enough either. No. By the way, how tall are you? I have on my notes say 5'2". That's a little low. 5'8 was the official height. But it's going down? It will definitely be going down, yes. We shrink. I talk to you constantly about your posture. Yes. Try to get you and my wife. That's true. To be honest, I'm like, knock it off, you guys. Stand up.

That's why. I didn't wear my Thunder shirt today. You're wearing a Thunder shirt? No, not today. No, but you own one, right? I actually own two, yeah. They hurt to wear? No, they're very comfortable. Well, a Thunder shirt. I don't think you're a sponsor yet. But, you know, why don't you go ahead and send us a few dozen of those?

How goddamn old are you? As of today, 71. 71. It's his birthday today, guys. Happy birthday. It's his birthday. Thank you. He agreed to be interviewed on his birthday. Thank you. 71. Yes. How do you feel?

Uh, good. Thanks. And a big milestone in your life. Can we discuss this? Oh, sure. Yeah. True or false. I forced you into retirement. That's true. Because I wanted partially because I wanted someone to hang out, watch sports with me and take naps all day.

Great idea, yes. Yeah, I was like, what are you doing? Stop working. So you're newly retired, kind of. You're still transitioning, but the official notice is in, and there's a countdown clock. That is correct, yes. How does it feel? Great, a relief, actually. And for 49 years...

You were a banker. That is correct, too. Yes. Come on. 49-year career. I tried to make it to 50. You would not allow it. No. No. You complain constantly. It's true, too. All you do is complain about being a banker, but yet I feel like I'm the only one in your family that wants to hear your stories about banking. Tammy forbids it. My wife forbids it.

She doesn't like hearing it. Too many complaints. The other kids don't care. Except for my oldest. Who is a banker. He is a banker, yes. And he's extremely successful. Jordan's doing very well. Would you say that he's a better banker than you? I would actually say that. Has he always been? No, not at first.

It took him at least five years to surpass me. Oh, really? Yes. I mean, did you want that from your son? Did you want him to follow in your footsteps? No, no. That just was his best opportunity. I wonder if my father wanted me to follow in his footsteps of being a pastor. I don't think so. You don't think he would have? Although I've only met Dan a couple of times, I don't see it. I would have been a wonderful pastor.

Oh, man. Hosanna. Hosanna. There you go. See, I got something to say right back. How many kids do you have? Four. Four wonderful kids. Four wonderful kids. Now, do you regret having any or all of your children? You can be specific. You're in a safe space. Of course not. I love my children. What are you talking about? I hear you, but do you regret it?

No. Okay. Fabulous. All four of them. All four of them are fabulous. Okay, but if you were to rank them from lowest to highest, who would you start with? That's not disputed. Your youngest son is a solid eight inches taller than everyone in your family. Who did your wife have sex with? That is a mystery. He does look like a halem. He does? He does.

Yeah, I think he does. Three of your four children live in Los Angeles. One is still in Florida where you live. Now, I'm going to say this as an honest compliment. I don't mean this—I don't want you to think it's coming from any form of sarcasm whatsoever—

No one I've ever met is more proud of their children than you are. That's true. I love my kids. Just, they're the world to you. Everything they do is amazing, blah, blah, blah. Yes. Yet three of them moved across the country as far as possible. To escape Florida. To leave where you're from. I never analyzed that. Okay. Does that mean maybe it was too, your love was too strong? No, I don't think you can do that. Okay. All right.

What about, does that mean that you love Jordan the most because he stayed in Florida? No, that does not mean that. Love them all the same. Admit it, Greg. In different ways. Admit that you love Jordan the most. My wife needs to hear this. I will not say that, Carly. All right. The next question is super simple. Rank your grandchildren. From one to four? Favorite to least favorite. Next question. How many grandchildren do you have? Four. Four grandchildren. Who's on your lock screen? All four of my grandkids.

All four. You win this round. They're all there. You win this round, Dad. We update it occasionally. Do you think my dad cares that I call you Dad? No, I don't. He doesn't. You know what my dad wants me to call him? He doesn't. He doesn't want me to call him. You know the best part of your life. What's that? Your children. Huh. No? No. Oh, sure it is. No, no, no. I had a day surfing recently. It was so much better.

Than my kids. When you heard your daughter was in a relationship with her boss, how excited were you guys? So here's how it went down. She called me and she said, Dad, what do you think about dating the boss? And I said, that's a bad idea, honey. Right. Because you lose your job and your boyfriend on the same day. Which is true. She did. Yeah.

She quit shortly after. Yep. And she went on to another job. Where'd she go? She went to Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Oh, Brooklyn Nine-Nine. What was the other thing she'd lose? Her friend? Did you say boss and her friend? Boss and boyfriend, I said. So she didn't lose her boyfriend, just her job. Why would I not be her boyfriend?

No, that was the joke. If you dated your boss, then on the same day you would lose your job because you had lost your boyfriend, like your boyfriend would kick you off the show. That's the joke. Okay. I don't like any of that. Okay. Take that out. Well, were you worried about her dating her boss? I wasn't her boss, even though we all debate this constantly. I was the host of the show. I wasn't her boss. I wasn't writing her checks. No. Yeah. Did I worry about it? No. I trust Carly. Did you think it was a bad idea? No.

No, not really. Did you think she could do better than me? Out of all the guys... Wait, answer that question. Do you think she could do better than me? I think she's done very well. You've ended up being a really nice person. How's that? That does not sound great. Hey, out of all the men and boys, I guess, if you go back far enough, your daughter that I'm married to dated, who would be your second pick? After you? Uh-huh.

Boy, oh, oh gosh. I'm drawing a blank on his name. I'm sorry. That's awful. It's not awful. You shouldn't remember anybody. I can't remember his name. Did she have a good dating track record? Yeah, they were nice guys, most of them. Yeah, sure. Was there any guys that you didn't like?

Some less than others. Yeah, sure. Of course. Any dad would be that way. Were you, were you, were you intimidating to him? Did you ever threaten of any of her suitors? No, Taylor. Now Taylor tells me I was intimidating, but that's the first time I've ever heard that in my life. We started out great together. Oh man, you, I, I could,

I could throw you under the bus so bad, but I don't. Yes, I know. You shared some, the very first night we went to that dinner in Palm Beach together. Yes. Oh, you shared some stuff with me. That was a fun first dinner. It was fun. Yeah, we had fun. Got picked up by, I think a limo? Is that right, Ma? No. No fucking limo picked us up.

We're in a nice car. Everything seems like a stretch to you. Yes. So much leg room back here. I tease. I do recall we were at the, I was working in West Palm Beach and we were staying at the Four Seasons Hotel and you guys came down and the bartender said, what do you want to drink? And I said, I'll have a lemonade. We were at the pool and he goes, oh, we don't have lemonade. I do remember that. We don't have lemonade, but I can make you one. And I said, stop.

Don't want it and he's like no I you just I'll just you know lemons and some sugar Bob I was like and then you piped up. You know that sounds delicious. I'll have one of those homemade lemonade I love lemonade and then he made his fucking atrocity was there to you and and I said, how's it taste? You know, I could taste awful It was bad and then you told him it tastes off. He goes. Let me try again He did he tried again and I go stop stop fucking ordering something that doesn't exist and

And he brought you a second one. I'm like, this is why it's just... Both of them were disgusting. They were bad. I remember that. Yeah, that was day one. That was day one of our lives together. Oh, we're two peas in a pod ever since. Amen. Did I ask for your blessing to marry your daughter? You did, and I really appreciated that. Do you want to know where you were the night I asked? I know where I was. You were at P.F. Chang's. In Sarasota, Florida. I was. I was.

And I excused myself to go outside to talk to you. That was very sweet of you to do that. Yeah, we were in Big Sur, and I called you. And not only did I – just to make sure everything went the way I wanted, I took – at the time when you needed those, I took Carly's SIM card out of her phone so that she wouldn't –

even get a phone call or anything like that. And then I called you and you didn't pick, you never pick up. I always have to go through your wife to get you. I was suspected what the call may have been. So I had to go outside to take the call. And then you got per usual, very choked up your emotional self. Yes. You're an emotional person. I am. I mean, you, you cry at least, I don't know. Well,

Once a trip, if you come over here. I thought you were going to say three or four times a day. No. Once a trip, yes, for sure. At least once a trip. I mean, certainly the goodbyes always get you. First time you left the country. Uh-huh. Where did I go? When was the first time you left the country of the United States of America? Not that long ago. We flew to London. It was wonderful. What? That's not true.

Where did I go otherwise? What are you alluding to? The first time you left the country. I swear. Oh, your wedding. I'm sorry. Oh, my God. Sorry. That was lovely, by the way. Beautiful place. Unbelievable. So you had never left the country, and then I marry your daughter, and we take you to Italy, and you finally left Italy. How is leaving the country? You're such a patriotic person.

Is it true or false? Oh, yes. I love America. I mean, you love this country so much. You don't ever want to leave, but we brought you to Italy. It was fabulous. It was unbelievable. Am I the son that you always really wanted? No.

I'm happy to have you as a son-in-law. I have two sons. Sure. That I really wanted. Okay. You wanted that last one? Yes, Chase, we wanted you. That last son of yours was six years after your last child. Yes. That's such a long, dry spell. You probably didn't think you had a swimmer left in you. He was a bonus baby, no doubt. Are you, whatchamacallit, did you have a... Vasectomy? Yeah. I did. You did? Mm-hmm. I'm getting one.

next month. Oh, really? I'm almost sad to hear that. No more babies? No, I can still have babies. Okay. I don't want to explain to you how it works. Yeah, I got an idea. I got it. You're saved up? You ever look in that one section of our freezer? I have not. Those aren't ice cubes. Oh, God. Okay, thank God. Don't put those in your tea. Why do you need so much ice in every drink that you fucking have? Because we live in Florida. Well, yeah, but you're not in Florida when you're here. And I've got a water machine that...

pipes out cold, cold water, yet you still need to put 300 ice cubes in every glass. By the way, and no ice cubes out here. It's like being in Europe. I mean, you guys don't have any. We have ice cubes. Okay. Yesterday at that fine restaurant we ate, there were hardly any ice cubes in anything. Where did we eat yesterday? Oh, it was a French restaurant. They didn't put enough ice in there for you? No, they did not.

You're so weird about ice. You always have to have ice in everything. Talk about your sex life. Next question. Talk to me about your first wife. Corby. Corby.

I didn't even know her name. That's it. Corby is a pretty name. You were, this is, this is interesting to us for one reason. I think, I think other people find this interesting. You were married and, and your, your wife was married prior. Neither one of you had children before that I know of. That's true. If you would have, if you had stayed married to your first wife and had a daughter and I ended up marrying her, would she be prettier than my current wife?

Oh, that's a good question. That's a good question. Corby's a good looking. Corby was a good looking woman. Um, no, no, no. Couldn't be any prettier than Carly. No, man. Okay. Thank goodness. I just would hate to know that I left something on the table. All right. This is why I find this. How long were you married? Uh,

Two and a half, three years. How long are you married now? 40. 40 years. Thanks for asking. Which one feels longer? 40 years feels much longer. Okay. I'm teasing you. Now, how long was she married first? I think about five years. Oh.

Mike. His name was Mike. I know. He wrote a book and wrote about her. She's in the book. I've never read it, but she's in it. You've never read it? No. Oh, now that you're retired. Why would I read that book? You're going to read that book. No, I'm not. Come on. It's got to be good. I don't think so. Your first wife. This is why it's interesting. Because your kids were growing up, four kids, you're happily married. One day...

My wife, when she was a child, she was probably 10, 11. She's at the mall with your wife, her mother, some of her kids. And she's eating at a Philly cheesesteak thing in the food court. Which one's that one called? Charlie's. Charlie's, yeah. She's eating Charlie's Philly cheesesteak in the mall. We love those. What's that? We love those. You don't say that. You don't love them anymore. You don't eat like that. We just financed one. I just financed one, literally. Okay.

I did. Good for you. I did. All right. So we do love that. Best cheesesteak in the food court. They are. Okay.

We love them. All right. She's a young girl sitting there, and your wife says, she just slips up somehow and says, my first husband, or something to that effect. And Carly went, mom, what did you say? You were married before? And she, in typical fashion, not a woman that likes to apologize ever. Would you say that's fair? That's fair. Okay. And just was like, oh, your dad was married too. That was her rebuttal.

Then her world is rocked. She's eating this cheesesteak, and she finds out for the first time that her parents were both married before. So why did you guys decide never to tell your children? It just never came up. It just never came up. And the reference was to a friend of theirs. Their parents had been married previously. And then it just sounded so strange that she was saying that. We're like, well, we've both been divorced and married. Anyway, it was a shock. Yeah.

Can you still get into heaven? I think so. I don't know if that's how it works. Let's start with the first question. Do you believe in ghosts? I think I do, yeah. I know you do. Yes. Okay. Well, I know you do because one time...

You told me that you, when you were staying in the Meemaw cabin, you said that you felt her. She came in the first night. She did. There was a breeze or something that came over. She did. Because you had the windows open, and it couldn't possibly be a breeze. And she loved Tharo.

So I'm pretty sure that was her. So it was a ghost. Yeah, I think it was mom saying hi. I have a photo that I keep of her, of me pulling her around in a sled in the snow. She loved it. And I have her binoculars, I believe. Yeah.

Didn't know that. Okay. You didn't? You have her binoculars? I do. Okay. They're in that cabin. Oh, that's right. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. We keep a pair of her binoculars there. I mean, I didn't steal them. What's wrong with you? By the way, let's talk about your folks for a second. Your father recently passed away, but you had great, and I'm sorry about that, you had great parents. Your father lived to be how old? Nine.

Ninety-four. Ninety-four. And your mother lived to be how old? Eighty-nine, I believe. Now, your mother, I knew a little bit more. I spent a little bit more time with her. She was, is eccentric the right word? Yes, different, yes. I mean, she was amazing, an amazing woman. She was a sweetheart. Just artistic. Very artsy. Tell me about this. I never quite understood it, but she had a garden of bowling balls. That is correct. In her house in Ocala.

Literally a backyard full of metal stakes in the ground with bowling balls on top of them. Did she enjoy bowling? Yes, she was a good bowler, so was my dad. Ah, I didn't know that. Yep. So you grew up in, now you were born in Memphis, but you grew up in Florida. Fort Pierce, Florida. Beautiful Fort Pierce. Is it beautiful? Used to be. The water's pretty. You just, you love the state of Florida, don't you? I do love Florida.

What do you love so much about Florida? The weather, believe it or not, is still great. Play tennis year-round. Went to the University of Florida, so I get to enjoy the sports almost year-round with them. All my friends are from Florida. We grew up in Florida. It's...

A great place. Economy's booming. Let's talk about the weather for a second. Yeah. Before we get into that booming economy. Okay. It is. Because I feel like every time you're out here, all you talk about is how great it feels to not be sweating. California has nicer weather. I'm sorry, Florida. It is very nice out here. Forget California. This isn't a contest, even though I know we won, certainly financially.

Do you enjoy just the humidity? I just can't wrap my head around enjoying it. No, it's very humid. It is fun to sweat when you're playing sports, but other than that, you're right. It's a little uncomfortable just walking around and getting hot, walking along. Talk about your legs and your thighs. The legendary Hallam thighs, yes. Let's not talk about them. What do you mean not talk about them? What do you want to talk? Weren't you voted best legs? I was. At a bank.

At a bank. Contest, I guess it was. Hold on, hold on. Let's just stop there. True story. It was at a bank contest. My father-in-law was voted best legs. That is a true story. Why were they having such a horrible contest? A fundraiser. It was a fundraiser. And you had to show your legs? Yes, it was pictures from the waist down in gym shorts. What was your banking nickname? That was, well, given to me by a friend of mine, the Lone Arranger. Oh.

Oh, man. Isn't that cool? Isn't that cool? Wait, they're laughing. They're laughing. They don't get it. You don't get it. They don't get banking. It came with a statue of a guy on a rearing horse with a pistol. It was great. Having worked in banking your entire career, please explain why banks are evil. We're not evil. We're a necessary function. You have to have banks for the economy to work. But you're huge. Like, you were recently fired from your bank for embezzling. Oh, man.

That's not true. But regardless, you're big into crypto. Walk me through that. Yeah, the worst, please. I don't get crypto at all. You never even thought you were going to dabble into it. I don't understand it at any level. I'd love to have somebody explain it to me that made sense. What is your job? Tell me what your job really was. I'm a commercial relationship manager. And so all things business related, we're kind of the quarterback of the team.

So you go out and try to get businesses to come do their banking with your bank. Do you sleep okay at night knowing you single-handedly caused the 2008 financial crisis? It keeps me up, yes. Did you or did you not go to Tallahassee and predict this financial housing market crash? Yes, I did, and I was totally ignored, but I did do that. Can I do that great line? I have to do this. No, you do whatever you want. This is my best line.

It's not your best line, but go ahead. It was a good line. You've got a good line. So they call me up to testify. I was president of the Mortgage Banker Association of Florida. You don't have to tell us that. We all know. Okay. Well, I was president of the NBAF.

And part of that, they called me up to Tallahassee to speak before a select committee and testify. And I said to them, we're getting ready to have a housing crash in Florida, which they totally blew me off. And I had this great line. I said, you know, it's easier to get a license to cut hair in Florida than it is to get a

I said that backwards. I'm sorry. Start over. It's easier to get a mortgage broker license in Florida than it is to get a license to cut hair. And I said the difference is a bad haircut grows out in 30 days. A bad mortgage you're stuck with for 30 years. That's good. And at that moment, they all stopped what they were doing and said, we've got a crisis on our hands. Or did they just say, okay, what else? That was it. It went totally over their heads. Who's on your Mount Rushmore of loan originators? I will say...

Currently, my sales manager is an incredible producer. Absolutely blows us away how much he does. How much? What kind of numbers are we talking? A person comes into your office that you're dealing with that wants a loan, a small business. What are they usually asking for? What's a typical, a good loan versus like a normal run-of-the-mill one that you're dealing with? A good loan would be $3, $4, $5 million on a loan.

A normal loan might be $500,000 to a million. And what do they have on a $3 million to $4 million loan? What do they have to have in place for this to get approved by the bank? Income stream, equity in the project, knowledge, background. And yet sometimes your boss will still say, no, you can't do the loan or no?

Sometimes the bank doesn't want to do that kind of loan. Sometimes your boss doesn't agree with the strength of the loan. Are you always trying to shove through any loan or not necessarily? Never did a bad loan. You never did a bad loan in your life? Only one that I ever knew was going to go bad. It was a small loan. That's pretty good. Yeah.

All right. This question is from a listener. As a commercial lending officer, what top percentage of bankers were you in based on your quantity of loans? Okay. That's from a viewer. That's a great question. Did I say viewer? I'm sorry. I meant that was from you. Top 10%, I'm going to say. Top 10%? Yeah. Percent. In the whole state of Florida? Oh, no, no. As a...

As a commercial banker for a smaller bank, yeah, top 10% production. I was told that once, actually. By a headhunter. By the way, speaking of hair. Yeah. You've got great hair. Oh, thank you. My pride and joy. Are you grown at long now that you're retired? I am. This is my pre-retirement cut. By the way, you look sharp today. Thanks. It's your shirt. I appreciate it. What brand is that? This is Ralph Lauren Purple. Now, here's the thing. That's another thing that I like to compare my two daddies.

my birth daddy and you daddy, there's no world where my dad has any clue what Ralph Lauren Purple is.

Do you guys even know what Ralph Lauren purple is? Not purple. Okay. Ralph Lauren, everyone's heard of, but then there's a high-end line called Ralph Lauren purple. And he, whenever shirts are a little small on me or whatever, I pass them on. And he's like, oh, he's like, that's a Ralph Lauren purple shirt. Just immediately excited. You know so much about fashion. Where did that come from? I'm not sure. I always liked it. I don't know where it started.

My mom was into dressing, so I think that's probably why. Your mom was a sharp dresser. And she wanted us to look good, the kids to look good. I saw photos of her in, I think it was London.

Is that true? Yes. She used to like to go to London? She did love London, yes. It's just like her bags and stuff like that. It was just like, just a little aristocrat, just a socialite she looked like. Okay, Memphis Belle. Uh-huh. I liked it. Okay, so you, but you care about all those things. You like? Clothes. You like clothes. What's your favorite brand? Oh, Armani would still be my favorite. An Armani suit? I had many, yes. Mm-hmm.

You had them tailored? No, you have to. What's your size? 5'8". You have to tailor them. 5'8". You keep saying that, but we all know that's not true. It is true. We'll measure sometime. Okay, go ahead. I should get you an inversion table. Do you want to hang upside down? Yes, I probably need that, actually. I'll get you an inversion table. We'll get that extra inch back. There you go, please. You wear risers in your shoes. That is not true. Okay.

But you used to wear a suit to work every day of your life. Yep. And now those days are gone. Is that sad? Yeah, it is sad. Banking's gotten very casual. Well, right, but even more casual retiring. Oh, yeah, for sure. When are you wearing a suit? Just funerals? That's it. Funerals and weddings. Funerals and weddings. That'll be it.

What do you want to be buried in? Do you want to be buried or cremated? I'm cremating you, but whatever. Tell me what you want. I'd rather been buried, but you can cremate me. I don't care. You have a plot picked out? I do not. Should we talk about that? No. Okay. You want us to just ignore that? That's way too early. Do you care? Of course it's way too early. My parents have two plots. Do they really? Uh-huh. I think so, but we're not using them.

We're going fertilizer. I'm going to put my dad in one of those little machines that when you put fertilizer in your yard and just walk him through the whole property. Yeah. That'd be kind of cute. Yeah. We spread my mother's ashes in London.

For that very reason. Well, you kept some for different locations, yes? Yes. Part of it was in Iceland. Did you just throw them willy-nilly in London, or did you actually... No, we were at a beautiful park and thought that was appropriate setting. Is that illegal? Probably. Yeah, I don't think you're allowed to just travel with human remains. No, you can. You have to... They give you a box with a...

Sign on it that says human remains. Yeah. You do have to tell them. Oh, you had that? Oh, yeah. That's something you have to declare at customs? Yes, it is. I always do that at customs just to be funny. Do you have anything to declare? I'm like, I have human remains. Yeah. Okay. Now that you are retiring from commercial lending, what's the next chapter? Relaxation.

Death is next. Right around the corner. No, you, you've got at least 30 years. Oh, it's so good. If I match my dad, yeah. Yeah. 30 years. No, that's 25 years, but okay. Well, whatever. Yeah. You can beat your dad by five. Okay. Hope so. How much you weighing today? Uh,

185, 190. And what do you want to get to? 175. 175. Lean. Lean. Help my tennis game. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Now, your serve is the ugliest thing I've ever seen in sports. It's bad. My fast serve? Yeah. First of all, let me tell you something. First of all, here's how he tries to be. He quick serves you. It's a quick serve. He's almost like when Kyrgios would do those underhand serves.

He just ties it. It's almost like he's playing table tennis out there. But does it work? It works. No, it's great. It's effective. Okay, it's effective. What's your ranking in tennis? What would you be? Doubles, I think I'm still a 4-0. Singles, I would have to be a 3-5 at best. A 3-5.

And how is your tennis game lately? Pretty good. Pretty good. No, you don't think so? Well, no, no. Because you haven't been playing as much. Hopefully now in retirement, you'll play more. Are you in a league currently? I am not in a league. I do have a match I try to play on Saturday mornings. Is it mixed doubles? It's mixed doubles. Do you play with your wife? Not very often.

Because. She's hard to play with. Can I say that? Yeah, you can say that. But aren't you? But you're awful to play with as well. That is true. I'm a terrible partner. You swear at yourself constantly. I recall one time playing you. I think you were up in set one. You might have been up 5-1. Okay? Yeah. Yet still, if you missed a shot, you would be like, fuck.

You'd be so... Really? You weren't even happy beating me 5-1. You needed to be winning 5-0 at the time. You were still getting mad at yourself if you missed a shot. That's a Hallam thing. We have a very high bar of our expectations. Oh, sorry. Super competitive. Super competitive. That's it. I've been trying to get you to cross over to the pickleball world, and you're reluctant, but you will play occasionally with us. It's a silly sport.

Sorry. You don't have to apologize to me. Who's your favorite tennis player of all time? Oh, Nadal. That's easy. Is your favorite of all time? Oh, yeah. Rafa. And you never thought it was weird that his pre-serve routine involved him picking his asshole and then wiping his face. That is a very weird tick he has, yes.

It starts with his butt. He picks his butt first, adjusts things, touches three things, and then touches his face before every serve. We'll go ahead and show that. Hey, it is your birthday, but I always give everybody a gift that comes on the show. Okay. So I had— Are you re-gifting? No, you're not. I am re-gifting. Okay. But also, I went the extra mile and wrapped it. So happy birthday, Daddy. Thanks, Daniel. Do you want me to open this? Mm-hmm.

Take your time. I was afraid you were going to give me back something. What are you going to say? Is that what it is? It's underwear? Yeah. You gave these back to me. Now I'm getting them back? Yeah. Oh, thanks. Okay. These are the ones I want back. Can I give you the nylon ones? No, I'm not giving... You're keeping all of them. Here's the thing, guys. I don't like... Whenever they come visit, I have like...

You know, I have way too many rules in my life, but I always say, guys, pack light. I'm always like, pack light. Don't check luggage, right? It's a pretty normal thing to say. And then what do they do? Oh, we had to check a bag because we brought your son 15 presents that he doesn't need.

And now we're waiting at the airport an extra 45 minutes. Or worse, they have a connection. We missed the connection. We're going to stay in Dallas for the night.

That was a blast. Yeah. How was that? Middle of the street with your luggage. So I stopped that. Now they only will take direct flights. And I said, you're no longer traveling with luggage on. We're going to have your California clothes here so that you don't have to bring stuff. And then we got him some underwear and stuff. Got your wife some sexy underwear. Has she worn those for you yet? She has not. Sorry.

We'll work on that. Get that taken care of. I didn't buy those to not be worn. Get those on her. She's got those cute pajamas on, but I haven't seen the sexy underwear. No, you're going to see that. So anyway, I get him some underwear, and then he says, guys, this is too much underwear. Take these back. So what am I going to do? I'm going to go return something that I probably – a three-pack that I bought probably in an outlet store that costs $8. No, I'm not – you're keeping all of your underwear. Thank you. Those are nice. You'll like those. Those are –

I think have cotton on them so that if you have some drip, it'll absorb it. Great. Do you have drip? I need that at my, no, I don't actually. I have drip. Oh man. If I get up too quickly, put that on the floor. Did you finish telling me about your sex life right now? Yeah, I did. Okay.

You've been married for how many years? 40. Just turned 40. Just turned 40. Mm-hmm. You love her more today than you did the day you married her? Best thing I ever did. You think you'll ever get remarried? No, never. No? No. What do you think are a few of the keys to staying happily married? Keep her happy. She's always right. Let her pick where she wants to eat dinner. Leave her alone. How's that?

These are tales of a beaten man. Yes, yeah. How many years did you think Carly and I would be married? I think you guys have a good marriage. Do you want me to guess how many years we're going to be married? No, no. When we first decided to get married, did you think, oh, this is not going to last or this is only going to last how long? No, I never thought that. No, I trust Carly. Well, I know, but everyone gets married hoping it lasts forever, but that's not the reality. I...

Well, I got news for you. We're ending it. Okay. There it is. No, no. I'm happy as can be. I always think if, if, if there was like a way to actual measure love that, um,

that I love Carly more than she loves me. If, if there was, and I think she agrees, which way? No, I think she agrees that, that I probably love her more than she loves me. If there were, if it was an actual thing that you could measure. Now I, now I post to here. Well, I pose the question to you. Do you think you love your wife more than she loves? Oh, that's a fact. That's not disputed. Yeah.

That makes me laugh. That's silly.

I still can't believe you caused the 2008 crisis. Next time on Toss Show. Talk about the cancer and all the ass play that was involved. Yes. So you did some marijuana. Yeah, we smoked. And you were like, whoa, whoa, whoa, what did you just say? That's a great story. That could be incorrect. That's incorrect. Is that incorrect? Okay. That's incorrect. I was the evil person. I think it was in a wheelchair too. I was the evil old white guy. You ever pooped

pooped your pants as an adult. Yeah, probably. Say yes to summer and get cash back on many of your favorite brands with PayPal, which, let's face it, comes in very handy during the summertime. Everyone is ready for summer activities, which is why using PayPal is a great way to say yes to the summertime fun. Say yes to getting an extra jet ski for your summer cabin. Say yes to getting one of those adapters that you hook to your jet ski that makes you fly up in the air. Heck, say yes

say yes to getting another jet ski. Nobody's ever been like, that's too many jet skis. Use it to pay a babysitter so you and the wife can head downtown to that new buffet that just opened up. You can also send money with PayPal to friends, which means going halfsies when your bros visit this summer. With even more cash back in your pocket when you pay with PayPal, saying yes to summertime fun just got a whole lot

Pasha! Fascinating. I want to thank my father-in-law, Greg, for being on the podcast. And you know what he told me right after we wrapped? Carl, you know what he said? He goes, Garrett, that's the other boyfriend. That was my second favorite boyfriend that my wife had.

Pete chimed in immediately. Garrett fucked your wife. I was like, oh, right in front of Greg. It was so uncomfortable. A tear came to his eye. Yeah. Carl, there was so much good stuff in that interview. We decided to break precedent. We're going to make it a two-parter. Eddie, hit the trumpets.

It's a two-part. We're going to finish this up next week. There was so much gold in there. And talking to my father, oh, I'm going to get him in so much trouble. I can't.

I want to add a second show there. I love New Orleans. Anyway, another bedtime story from my son. We'll see you guys next week with part two of Daddy-in-Law. One time, maybe a duck was swimming in the ocean.

People on the beach were paddling. They saw a sandpap. And they sent a shot at the water. And then, suddenly, they got in their car, drove to that Saturday 10. They ran out of gas. Saturday 10 took the gas tank, took some more gas, and then ran back home. Threw the door shut. They locked the door. Locked all of the doors so nothing would come in. Then something happened. Boom! The house was all dark.

They knew what happened. The electricity went off in their house. And there was somebody who's so far couldn't even go. Who's far? A fox. They saw a fox after me. And then they were trying to eat it, but it was too... And then something happened. What's those foxes that say they're the fox? Cheetahs!

They say they don't like anybody. The cheetah went so fast, the frost ran after him. I don't know what you're saying. The what ran after him? The frost ran after him. The froth? No, the frost. Frost? No, froth. A sloth? Yeah, ran after him. A sloth. I got it. But they were too slow, so the cheetah ran fast.

And then the fox thought on the cheetah and the cheetah went so fast and then he got in the cheetah car. The cheetah has a car? It was just a Halloween costume. Who was dressed up like a cheetah? Maybe, I don't know. A real cheetah? A real cheetah dressed up like a cheetah. Yeah. Alright, is this the end of the story?

No. When does it end? Because it makes, it's just gone. In ten minutes. Ten minutes? Oh my goodness. And then something happens. The animal ran back, but the more they ran, the more it came. What do you think of the bird and the come from the rain world? I don't know. The end.
