WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.000 You watch the Minnesota Vikings this year. They are going 2 00:00:03.080 --> 00:00:06.719 to dominate. Ross gets sick of it. He's a Bills fan. 3 00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:10.439 Others do. I don't have a lot of Vikings fans 4 00:00:10.519 --> 00:00:13.359 surrounding me. But that's okay. I'm willing to I'm willing 5 00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:16.440 to back the purple. There and lo and behold what happened? 6 00:00:16.879 --> 00:00:20.679 They handed out an apple? Absolute ass kicking, that's what 7 00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:24.280 they did. Made the Ross. Would you check on a 8 00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:28.399 map and see, uh, which is more populous Minnesota or 9 00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:32.119 New York? Ross is gonna check that. So I'm putting 10 00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:35.600 it through this system. It says in New York, New York, Wow, 11 00:00:35.719 --> 00:00:38.520 they have a lot more h No, hold on just 12 00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:41.600 New York City because the Bills basically are the state's team, 13 00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:44.719 right you guys are you guys are because you're the 14 00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:46.119 only team in New York? 15 00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:46.560 Right there? 16 00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:49.880 Say that they are the only team in New York. 17 00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:53.359 Yes, yeah, so so other than New York City and 18 00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:57.000 half of New York City. Yeah that's so. I'm not 19 00:00:57.119 --> 00:00:59.359 being unfair. So is half of New York? 20 00:00:59.520 --> 00:00:59.840 It is? 21 00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:03.520 Okay, all right, but you're the Minneapolis Okay, wow, how 22 00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:09.120 that happened? They're giants? So no, seriously though, like the 23 00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:12.280 amount of Vikings fans that I do, like see on 24 00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:14.359 the Twitter and whatnot. They're like, do it's gonna be 25 00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:18.719 our year? Like that, because they're still they're still remembering 26 00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:21.200 two years ago when the Giants beat us in the playoffs, 27 00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:25.000 like we were a JV football team and they did, 28 00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:30.760 but tone it down. Everyone on our team is dead. 29 00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:34.719 I don't know how that happened. The way that happened 30 00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:40.799 is the Giants are dog crap. Meanwhile, the other the 31 00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:43.760 actual New York team. I'm watching their quarterback. He's levitating 32 00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:48.120 throwing passes and did you see that picture they got 33 00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:49.079 of him? But they were running. 34 00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:52.519 So here's the thing. Yeah, this is where I am 35 00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:56.239 this year. Okay, okay, most year for the most of 36 00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:57.840 my life. I watch all the games, and they lost, 37 00:01:57.879 --> 00:01:59.280 and then my strategy went to. 38 00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:01.120 It didn't lose all of them, they just lost the 39 00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:01.719 big ones. 40 00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:05.400 So the strategy move too. I'm not going to watch 41 00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:07.840 the game. I'm not going to pay attention to the game. 42 00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:12.759 I watched the highlights afterwards and then we'll win. And 43 00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:16.879 that here's my strategy this year. I'm not paying any attention. 44 00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:19.199 I'm not watching any highlights and I'm not talking about 45 00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:20.960 it or posting about it period. 46 00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:25.240 Well, you have to mention on this show, but you 47 00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:28.280 can be passive about it completely. I'm not posting it, 48 00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:33.080 I'm not talking about it, I'm not watching its. How 49 00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:35.680 does he do? How does he levitate? You don't have 50 00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:38.120 to talk about it. So it's going to be I will. 51 00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:41.000 Be a bandwagon for you to support you a Vikings 52 00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:41.599 fan this year. 53 00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:46.039 But when I'm not doing it, we're doomed. We're doomed. 54 00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:49.319 That was the worst thing that could have happened, you 55 00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:52.960 know why, because then when we actually play a good team, 56 00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:56.159 and again I hope I'm wrong, either a bunch of 57 00:02:56.159 --> 00:02:59.240 people are like, oh, we were misled, No, you weren't. 58 00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:02.599 You played a really bad team and and and dudes 59 00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:04.719 came out and functioned. This is kind of like a 60 00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:07.919 hallmark of the Vikings, like where you know, remember we 61 00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:12.120 brought paston not in there, and we brought the dudies 62 00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:15.080 like he's a rocket scientist and he looked amazing for 63 00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:21.840 about a game and a half, and then eh, Bryce Young, 64 00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:26.240 is that ever gonna work out? That was tough to 65 00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:30.319 watch yesterday. I wanted to be good. I want Panthers 66 00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:33.919 fans to be happy until the playoffs. Other than that, 67 00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:36.639 you know, and then it's you know, then NFC on 68 00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:40.560 NFC violence. It's fine. I know, y'all, same way. It's 69 00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:42.719 good to see we keep giving Germany our best though, 70 00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:48.520 you know that. Okay, that's yeah, that's what I might 71 00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:54.719 look at it. So, uh, dude, tell you what, man, 72 00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:57.960 if you're the coach of the Panthers, do you rent 73 00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:01.800 her own? That was a question that occurred to me. 74 00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:05.400 Got to be a renter, right, But then, like, doesn't 75 00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:08.199 that that's one of those things that would indicate to 76 00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:11.960 your boss that you're not serious about this, and then 77 00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:15.159 he throws a drink at you. You can't win, man, 78 00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:21.240 you absolutely can't win. So there you go. Would it 79 00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:24.519 help if you called your team by like, you know, 80 00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:26.439 don't say their name. 81 00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:26.720 No. 82 00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:30.120 I've decided though, I'm really tired of my happiness depending 83 00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:32.319 on a football team that I've never met. I've never 84 00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:35.480 been to Buffalo. Like, I'm just tired of my entire 85 00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:38.000 weekend hanging in the balance of how a football team, 86 00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:40.439 and I'm going to avoid that and focus on my happiness. 87 00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:43.120 I have to, yeah, for my own mental well being, 88 00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:45.759 well no, no, no, but I never I never thought you 89 00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:48.160 should and and I never thought that people who make 90 00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:50.240 it all about their identity. I can't help it though. 91 00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:51.680 It's just the way my brain works. 92 00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:54.839 Like I watch and I am a competitive person and 93 00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:58.079 I sit there on a Sunday and it's it's just 94 00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:01.160 I'm just wrecked mentally because i want the team to 95 00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:03.600 win so bad and I've got to step away from 96 00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:04.800 that because it's so unhealthy. 97 00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:08.720 It's so unhealthy. You should try bandwaggony, man, I hear 98 00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:11.920 it's what I'm saying. Yeah, I will support you in 99 00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:15.000 the air for the viting, not me, just whomever, whomever 100 00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:19.519 every week, whoever's leading. You should wear that jersey And yeah, 101 00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:22.120 I don't understand that that mentality and just how people 102 00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:22.360 do that. 103 00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:24.120 Just I should just. 104 00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:26.800 Get that, Oh look at that the you know the 105 00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:29.800 what have the Seahawks or the top of the NFC. 106 00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:33.759 Oh ross roll, you got a Seahawks jersey. I've seriously 107 00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:36.439 been thinking about it, and it's like my time here 108 00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:39.199 is so limited, and I'm spending it on the weekends, 109 00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:42.240 like some of my only free time completely nervous wreck 110 00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:43.759 and it sucks that I don't want to do it 111 00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:47.279 this year, step it away. Okay, all right, Now that 112 00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:49.199 I do that, this will be the year that they 113 00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:52.639 win it all. And then every year after that you 114 00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:55.000 will be so paranoid that if you don't repeat the 115 00:05:55.040 --> 00:06:02.279 process exactly, it's your fault that they Oh man, all 116 00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:04.279 look at that. We got some Boston. Boston. Paul's already 117 00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:10.480 in here. Okay, yeah, I saw the Cowboys. He's not 118 00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:13.560 Raised not here today? Right, I think he's not here. 119 00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:16.000 I didn't even have even checked out. I don't it's 120 00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:20.040 Jeff mar today. Oh it's Jeff Barr. Do you think 121 00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:23.959 he wants to have a lively discussion about football for 122 00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:28.920 you know, twice? Maybe I don't know. We'll find out. Yeah, 123 00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:33.120 Raised not here, because I'm sure he is absolutely his 124 00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:37.639 his liver. It's recovering. So you could watch the Coboys 125 00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:41.560 game yesterday and uh so we'll but we'll remember, we'll 126 00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:42.839 remember to chat with him. 127 00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:46.199 Give me meat about Dak Prescott being the most the 128 00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:50.480 highest paid player in the NFL ever, because that makes sense. 129 00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:59.000 Yeah, I mean, uh, he's gonna be abnoxious. You know, 130 00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:01.720 if if nonough of us could get together, I think 131 00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:04.000 it'd be really fun to pretend that we've never heard 132 00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:06.199 of the Cowboys and when that's not a team and 133 00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:09.720 it's the multiverse. But that's gonna take a heavy lift. 134 00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:14.279 But it would be fun watching a Cowboys fan think 135 00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:16.480 for a second his team doesn't exist and his whole 136 00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:20.319 life has been constructed around a farce. But I do 137 00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:22.000 know that we have that kind of time, all right, 138 00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:25.759 coming up on the show stuff and then some other stuff. Okay, 139 00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:29.360 we had stuff about stuff. We got news about stuff, 140 00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:33.720 some fun discussions about stuff. We got the ap being 141 00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:36.319 a complete bastard when it comes to this story on 142 00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:41.560 ABC eleven. Oh damn. Stuff some stuff there anyway, we'll 143 00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:43.360 get into that. I'll give you a rest of the 144 00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:48.279 rundown here on the CaCO Day Vikings Win It All 145 00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:53.399 National Championship radio program. Hang on, it probably picked up 146 00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:57.519 on I sound a little different today. That's cuz I 147 00:07:57.639 --> 00:08:01.439 met our Greensboro studios and if you remember, they we 148 00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:06.319 built brand new studios in High Point right downtown right 149 00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:08.600 about the stadium here, and then they get a food 150 00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:14.120 hall and all that. It's great location, uh for if 151 00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:15.279 you you know, if you got if you got to 152 00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:20.639 work someplace, this is it's a fantastic location. But we 153 00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:24.120 got brand new studio. I got new boards and monitors 154 00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:26.600 and ross. If you saw this thing, he'd probably quit 155 00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:31.240 considering what we have in the Raleigh studios. You'd You're like, no, no, no, no, 156 00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:33.639 I want for this. You know they want to move 157 00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:37.000 my studio down the hall. Yeah where were they talking 158 00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:40.879 about it? To partition off the where they'll because we're 159 00:08:40.919 --> 00:08:42.720 moving him back right, they want to put me in 160 00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:44.799 the rock studio in the morning. Yeah, exactly. 161 00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:47.399 And I'm so against it. And I told Matt our 162 00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:49.720 engineer there in Greensboro, who's who told me they want 163 00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:50.879 to do this, And he thought I was gonna be 164 00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:53.279 like super excited, like you just said, and I was. 165 00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:56.039 Like, no, I love my old board. I like the 166 00:08:56.120 --> 00:08:59.840 old anial like this I've used. Listen, this board is 167 00:08:59.840 --> 00:09:01.720 a same sort of board I used over at g 168 00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:04.919 in two thousand and like six, like, I've used this 169 00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:08.879 board every day, and I've worked from two thousand like 170 00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:11.679 to like eighteen years. You just want your stuff to 171 00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:14.039 function in the way that it is at all the time. 172 00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:15.600 I don't need to be on the on the enterprise. 173 00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:17.440 I don't need to be on the bridge. I'm very 174 00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:19.360 comfortable and you know how I am. I hate change 175 00:09:19.399 --> 00:09:21.639 and this is I'm very comfortable in this studio with 176 00:09:21.720 --> 00:09:25.000 this board. So how do I sound? How does it sound? 177 00:09:25.799 --> 00:09:26.240 On the air? 178 00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:29.320 You sound fantastic and the headphones for someone saying you 179 00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:31.279 sound like super filtered. But I think it's just like 180 00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:32.039 a headphone thing. 181 00:09:32.840 --> 00:09:35.519 Okay, Well I don't know, but I here's what I 182 00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:39.320 do know. And I've forgotten about it until I strolled 183 00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:42.679 in this morning, and I've been losing my crap. They 184 00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:45.600 have the left handed mice in here. Still, I'm sorry? 185 00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:48.399 Did we not address this problem last time I was here? 186 00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:52.840 And and shame the person on the air repeatedively. So 187 00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:54.840 for those of you who don't know, you can reverse 188 00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:58.240 the buttons on your mice, your computer mice. Say in mice, 189 00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:00.639 isn't it mouse? That always confused from me? Because there's 190 00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:05.679 because there's because there's two of them. Okay, yeah, so 191 00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:08.600 on your mouse, I guess I could say it either way. 192 00:10:08.639 --> 00:10:11.720 But yeah, I'm staring at two of these, so I say, mice. 193 00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:16.360 But point being point bean, you reverse the buttons. Now 194 00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:19.399 what you're thinking? You're like, why would you reverse the buttons? 195 00:10:19.720 --> 00:10:25.000 That sounds insane? And you are correct there's no reason. 196 00:10:25.159 --> 00:10:27.600 And then I asked the person who happens to be 197 00:10:27.639 --> 00:10:30.679 the program director for the station who uses the Greensboro 198 00:10:30.759 --> 00:10:35.000 studio primarily because obviously this is uh, you know, I 199 00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:40.320 visit here, you know, every couple months or whatever. And 200 00:10:40.360 --> 00:10:44.840 he's like, he's like, it's because I'm left handed. I 201 00:10:44.919 --> 00:10:49.919 have to reverse them. And I immediately immediately contact Ross, 202 00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:52.240 who I don't know if you guys know this left handed, 203 00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:57.200 and I'm like, you guys, reverse your your mouse button. Now, 204 00:10:57.279 --> 00:10:58.600 you guys are so weird. 205 00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:01.240 And we brought to to the audience as well as 206 00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:05.360 social media, and it's myself and this is complete. That's 207 00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:07.279 not a thing, and that is lunacy in his part. 208 00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:10.600 Yeah, yeah, what you're saying, you want to know what 209 00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:13.320 it's like to try to use reverse mice on our 210 00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:17.320 mouse and you've never done it. Imagine you are, you're 211 00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:21.600 a ute youth ute growing up on I don't know, 212 00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:25.080 North Sentinel Island, right, you know, the one with the 213 00:11:25.159 --> 00:11:28.919 amazing border control over there in the Indian andyan Cea 214 00:11:29.559 --> 00:11:31.480 right where they're like nobody can go there, and then 215 00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:34.639 once every fifty years somebody does and they sling arrows 216 00:11:34.639 --> 00:11:37.960 in them all right, So that's you. You have nothing. 217 00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:42.320 You're an uncontacted lost tribe, and somehow here they cut 218 00:11:42.320 --> 00:11:45.639 and they grab you and they take you to civilization. 219 00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:48.159 They sit you down here in the enterprise where I'm sitting, 220 00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:52.759 and they're like, here's a computer. Have fun. That's what 221 00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:56.759 you would look like. That dude from North Sentinel Island. 222 00:11:56.799 --> 00:11:59.120 They just sat in front of Windows eleven and it 223 00:11:59.159 --> 00:12:01.519 was like, all right, I do a report or something. 224 00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:07.000 Here you go any TPS reports. Chop chop. That's what 225 00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:09.720 you would look like trying to for it. And that's 226 00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:11.639 what I look like in the morning, trying to use 227 00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:14.879 this thing on talking because I've trained my brain to 228 00:12:14.919 --> 00:12:17.879 be able to do things, literally, do things while I'm 229 00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:21.919 talking to you that would be very distracting, and you 230 00:12:21.960 --> 00:12:24.519 know to most people, because you just do it in 231 00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:26.879 the same way that there's adaptive things that you do 232 00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:29.519 within your job where you could kind of do it 233 00:12:29.559 --> 00:12:32.600 through muscle memory. And so when I'm sitting here talking 234 00:12:32.600 --> 00:12:35.360 to you right now, I'm also opening this I'm kind 235 00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:36.600 of scanning my clocks. 236 00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:39.600 This is something that you've done forever a certain way, 237 00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:41.759 and you now now you just go an autopilot and 238 00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:44.080 it's like a subconscious thing. So it's going to completely 239 00:12:44.120 --> 00:12:45.679 mess you up. Imagine if you got in your car 240 00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:47.720 today on the way home or you're going to work, 241 00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:52.039 and the steering pedals no, no, the steering wheel was inverted. 242 00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:54.559 Imagine if when you went left it turned right and 243 00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:56.960 right eternally. You'd be in an accident every two seconds. 244 00:12:57.639 --> 00:12:59.960 Yeah, you'd murder all the best the kids of the 245 00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:04.720 bust up. Yeah it's it, and yeah, that's it, because 246 00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:07.519 even though you've been told exactly what it does, you're like, hey, 247 00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:10.600 this car is special. Oh really, what's it? You got 248 00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:13.480 a spoiler? What is it? It's everything is a reverse. 249 00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:16.360 Oh it goes reverse. No no, no, no, no, it's 250 00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:19.240 just you're gonna love it. You'd be out of your 251 00:13:19.279 --> 00:13:21.240 damn mind. I'm sitting here talking and I'm trying to 252 00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:24.679 flip over to check call screener. I'm trying to figure 253 00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:26.720 out how much time into the break I'm gonna have 254 00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:29.399 enough time to uh do the full rundown or even 255 00:13:29.399 --> 00:13:35.039 get to this story. And it's like I just and 256 00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:43.000 then I get distracted, distracted, Uh us constitute all right, 257 00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:45.000 so check this out. I'll just give you the I'll 258 00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:49.519 give you the rundown here because I thought it was 259 00:13:49.559 --> 00:13:54.480 pretty cool. And somebody said, one of the news guy Kyle, 260 00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:59.879 said this to me, signed US Constitution copy found in 261 00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:05.600 North Carolina filing cabinet being auctioned for millions. That's a 262 00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:09.720 flex piece if I've ever seen one. Do you imagine 263 00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:11.960 you's like, oh, why do we head into the what 264 00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:13.279 do we head into this study? 265 00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:13.559 Right? 266 00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:15.919 Because you've got to have a study. You're gonna have 267 00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:16.399 one of these. 268 00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:17.519 And you go in. 269 00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:20.159 It's one of those big mahogany rooms with the leather 270 00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:25.080 couches and the cigar humidor and you know, the glass 271 00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:30.480 bottles of unlabeled glass bottles of you know, crystal bottles 272 00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:32.000 of liquor, and you sit down with your buddies and 273 00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:34.320 you're like, yeah, that's a that's a that's a zebra 274 00:14:34.440 --> 00:14:37.240 that I killed over in the in Africa. And you 275 00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:39.639 just know how pretentious you are because you have it. 276 00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:46.519 You called it a zebra, all right, So I'll get 277 00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:49.039 to you in a moment. Hold on, sir, uh yeah, 278 00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:51.080 And they're like, oh, what's that over there, bill? That's 279 00:14:51.080 --> 00:14:54.919 an autographed copy of the Constitution, and how did that 280 00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:56.720 work back in the day? Did you have to go 281 00:14:56.840 --> 00:15:02.200 stand in line where the players walk out? How did 282 00:15:02.240 --> 00:15:05.240 you have to go to a card show you? How 283 00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:08.679 did you collect them all? I suppose you could show 284 00:15:08.759 --> 00:15:11.000 up at the well, not at the White House because 285 00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:13.480 it didn't exist, but you could show up. That's the 286 00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:16.799 craziest story man about the White House back in the day, Russ. 287 00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:18.840 You ever read about when the White House first opened up? 288 00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:22.679 That anyone could show up and people would show up. Yeah, 289 00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:25.559 I need to talk to John Tyler real quick. They're like, 290 00:15:25.840 --> 00:15:28.720 can you wait like thirty minutes. Absolutely, I'm gonna have 291 00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:32.159 to arse in this studio and we're gonna rebuild. There's 292 00:15:32.200 --> 00:15:35.080 no other option. I mean, I guess maybe if I 293 00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:37.799 broadcast here every day, the Greensborough Studio, I'd get used 294 00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:39.840 to it. But why should I have to? I'm old 295 00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:45.240 and curmudgeonly ish. All right, So we had a little 296 00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:47.200 football thing there. I'm gonna get to you the rest 297 00:15:47.200 --> 00:15:50.480 of this nice friendly there's a cool little constitution story, right, 298 00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:55.279 cool little Constitution story. Everyone's enjoying themselves. There's no there's 299 00:15:55.279 --> 00:15:57.320 no reason to do the thing you always have to do. 300 00:15:58.960 --> 00:16:03.080 There's no reason. There is a copy and it may 301 00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:05.919 be the most expensive. When it's all said and done, 302 00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:10.759 it may be the most expensive copy of the Constitution 303 00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:15.799 sold in uh from private hands to private hands because 304 00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:17.879 of the quality of it. And they just found it 305 00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:22.919 in a filing cabinet in like Ashville or something. It's 306 00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:24.879 been sitting I mean, it has obviously been sitting in 307 00:16:24.919 --> 00:16:26.960 that filing cabinet, but it's been sitting there for a 308 00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:33.240 long damn time. And uh it, uh it, you know 309 00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:36.240 it is gonna sit there and probably fail at least 310 00:16:36.279 --> 00:16:40.600 a million and I think that's the minimum bit already met. Now, uh, 311 00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:44.080 the the person who's signed it say it's signed, I 312 00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:47.399 don't mean like, oh, look at that. It's got everyone's signature, 313 00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:51.240 and it's specifically you know, ink to or ink to paper. 314 00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:54.840 These are copies. It's obviously not one that has the 315 00:16:55.159 --> 00:16:58.720 all of the signatures. However, when they say a signed copy, 316 00:16:58.759 --> 00:17:05.160 they mean that Charles Tomsen, the Secretary, signed it so 317 00:17:05.400 --> 00:17:08.400 as to indicate that it was official. So it is 318 00:17:09.279 --> 00:17:11.880 it is official in that sense that there are eight 319 00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:15.000 of them. I think there's eight. Hold on the get 320 00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:18.920 of the story. Yeah, eight, uh seven are publicly owned 321 00:17:20.440 --> 00:17:23.000 publicly so museums things like that. This is the only 322 00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:25.559 private one. So how cool is that? Ross? You like 323 00:17:25.599 --> 00:17:27.480 that stuff, right? You like history? That's pretty cool. 324 00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:28.039 Huh. 325 00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:30.799 Can you imagine? Can you imagine walking into your house 326 00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:33.799 and right next to the stars, trek, dude, pet and 327 00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:36.039 a cat? Is the is one? Is the only is 328 00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:40.079 the only privately held signed constitution copy. We're gonna talk 329 00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:45.440 about a conversation piece. Holy crap, man, you gotta get 330 00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:47.480 all you'd have to get like a laser field. People 331 00:17:47.599 --> 00:17:49.279 have to dance, so you're gonna want to go all out. 332 00:17:51.240 --> 00:17:53.240 So let me continue the story. Since we're all having 333 00:17:53.279 --> 00:17:55.359 a good time, and for history nerds, we think this 334 00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:58.000 is pretty cool. And for all of you who watch 335 00:17:58.079 --> 00:18:02.599 the Pickers shows and Antique road Show and all that 336 00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:04.880 this is gonna be you gotta think this is amazing. 337 00:18:04.920 --> 00:18:12.319 This is this is your xanadu here. But we can't 338 00:18:12.440 --> 00:18:18.119 just enjoy ourselves. We can't have conversations about these things 339 00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:28.559 because of this. Thompson likely signed two copies of each 340 00:18:28.640 --> 00:18:31.640 of the original thirteen states, or for each of the 341 00:18:31.680 --> 00:18:36.880 original thirteen states, essentially certifying them they were spent to 342 00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:41.680 they were sent to special ratifying conventions. Were representatives all 343 00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:46.440 white and male, wrangled for months before accepting the structure 344 00:18:46.480 --> 00:18:49.720 of the US government. Why why did you put that 345 00:18:49.839 --> 00:18:53.039 in there? Well, but it's but that's true, Yes, it 346 00:18:53.160 --> 00:18:56.880 is true. How is it remotely relevant to this story? 347 00:18:58.559 --> 00:19:02.119 How is it remotely This is why everyone hates you. 348 00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:04.759 This is why we make fun of you. This is 349 00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:08.519 why the word moonbat exists. Because you can't help yourselves. 350 00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:11.440 It's a sickness. It's an illness. You are the ones 351 00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:14.440 with a problem, because it's not that people, you guys 352 00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:17.200 are denying history. No, we're not. I am perfectly aware 353 00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:22.440 of who was in that room. There's a picture. There's 354 00:19:22.519 --> 00:19:28.480 a picture. It's unambiguous. Although to be fair, so you 355 00:19:28.480 --> 00:19:34.440 know the dress and the hairstyles of the day. I yeah, 356 00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:39.039 they're not as they're not as manly as as some 357 00:19:39.160 --> 00:19:41.480 would like. But that being said, that was that. But 358 00:19:41.559 --> 00:19:42.559 they we got it. 359 00:19:43.839 --> 00:19:45.519 You remember how we were talking the last week about 360 00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:48.519 like woken entertainment, right, and like what is the definition 361 00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:49.799 of it? We're talking about how like you have like 362 00:19:49.839 --> 00:19:52.480 a perfect story out of nowhere. It slams you over 363 00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:54.640 the head, right, it's the message, it's the political it 364 00:19:54.680 --> 00:19:57.519 has nothing to time story, and it completely ruins the 365 00:19:57.599 --> 00:19:59.720 narrative or whatever you're trying to the story you're trying 366 00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:00.079 to tell. 367 00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:02.519 It's the same thing here, like it has nothing to 368 00:20:02.559 --> 00:20:04.480 do with it. And you're like, oh, but did you know? 369 00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:07.960 And you're like, oh my, you're insufferable. Shut up. It's 370 00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:10.759 not about who was there. It's the story is about this, 371 00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:13.000 did you are there? And are there people out there? 372 00:20:13.720 --> 00:20:13.960 Russ? 373 00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:15.599 Do you did you at one point think that the 374 00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:19.119 room was filled with Chinese dudes or you know, and 375 00:20:19.400 --> 00:20:22.400 then like or the Native Americans did it? Or you 376 00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:25.039 know it was some dude from Mexico or it was 377 00:20:25.079 --> 00:20:28.279 the un No, because you've seen the damn thing that 378 00:20:28.319 --> 00:20:31.480 turns into the meme every time. And I think Elon 379 00:20:31.599 --> 00:20:35.160 Musk posted this damn meme yesterday and it's the one 380 00:20:35.160 --> 00:20:37.799 that goes and they're gonna get to say whatever they want, 381 00:20:37.880 --> 00:20:39.319 and then one of the other guys goes, oh, we 382 00:20:39.359 --> 00:20:41.279 should should we give them guns? And then another dude's like, 383 00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:43.519 oh my gosh, this country's gonna be lit. You've seen 384 00:20:43.519 --> 00:20:47.519 that meme, right, yeah, I've seen that one. Yet white dudes, right, 385 00:20:47.960 --> 00:20:51.200 a lot of white dudes in that they're not hiding anything, 386 00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:54.119 but none of it matters. For the purpose of this, 387 00:20:54.680 --> 00:20:57.200 Can we just can we just have this for a 388 00:20:57.319 --> 00:21:01.640 moment without you having a all white and males wrangled 389 00:21:01.640 --> 00:21:04.559 for months. Well, I'd say it worked out pretty good 390 00:21:04.559 --> 00:21:08.960 for you white women too. Huh. I'd say that worked 391 00:21:08.960 --> 00:21:11.759 out pretty good. And frankly, I'd argue that it worked 392 00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:18.000 out pretty good for most everybody. I yeah, is that 393 00:21:18.039 --> 00:21:21.000 a controversial statement. If it is, you all should get 394 00:21:21.000 --> 00:21:26.160 out and travel some do a little traveling. And I 395 00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:29.440 don't mean go to Canada, this your cousin or to 396 00:21:29.599 --> 00:21:32.400 Cankun and stay in the all inclusive. You need to 397 00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:34.559 get out. You need to get out and go some 398 00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:39.559 explore some stuff. You need to be. You need to 399 00:21:39.559 --> 00:21:41.279 be in a part of the world where you go 400 00:21:41.799 --> 00:21:48.079 for just for a moment ago this exists. This is awful, 401 00:21:48.359 --> 00:21:51.480
