3
00:00:07.599 --> 00:00:10.560
<v Speaker 1>ahead and shut that. I was just grabbing a little

4
00:00:10.839 --> 00:00:14.199
<v Speaker 1>little something something I added here in the very last

5
00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:17.199
<v Speaker 1>moments of the morning. All right, phone number eight eight

10
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:42.240
<v Speaker 1>I am just like captively waiting this morning. I was

11
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:46.840
<v Speaker 1>trying to find it as as everything got rolling, What

12
00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:49.840
<v Speaker 1>in the hell is going on with the third person?

13
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:53.560
<v Speaker 1>And of course the Amber alert and I can't you

14
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:56.280
<v Speaker 1>know the story we've literally been covering for the last

15
00:00:56.280 --> 00:01:00.479
<v Speaker 1>two days, just trying to figure out why people would

16
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:07.680
<v Speaker 1>roll into this house. And oh that's another update there. Okay,

17
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:10.519
<v Speaker 1>all right, hang on, emailers, I'm getting all of it.

18
00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:12.959
<v Speaker 1>Just it's been a whole morning with my email. I

19
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:17.079
<v Speaker 1>couldn't even get it to load earlier. So, oh, poor

20
00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:19.079
<v Speaker 1>Boston Paul's not going to be able to send me

21
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:23.599
<v Speaker 1>seventy two emails this morning. That is very sad for him.

22
00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:27.159
<v Speaker 1>Ros Do you have an email issues with the company email,

23
00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:31.439
<v Speaker 1>or is everything working with the company with the iHeart

24
00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:36.640
<v Speaker 1>email you haven't issues this morning, or no, your email's

25
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:39.879
<v Speaker 1>coming in this morning, just fine? Okay, all right, I

26
00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:44.480
<v Speaker 1>don't know what's up with mine. So maybe I'm fired. Dude.

27
00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:48.079
<v Speaker 1>If this is my I'm fired show, well I'm going

28
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:52.400
<v Speaker 1>to change everything, like I have to decide. Do I

29
00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:55.959
<v Speaker 1>want to go out with the temper tantrum or just okay?

30
00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:58.079
<v Speaker 1>They were just loaded, all right, Well you don't get

31
00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:02.200
<v Speaker 1>the temper tantrum? Yeah, that is so weird. All right,

32
00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:04.040
<v Speaker 1>So then it updated on my phone too.

33
00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:04.640
<v Speaker 2>All right.

34
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:08.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what the heck's going on. I'm sure

35
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:11.599
<v Speaker 1>it's some weird security thing, probably trying to trick me

36
00:02:11.639 --> 00:02:19.120
<v Speaker 1>into responding. AnyWho. All right, so coming up on the

37
00:02:19.159 --> 00:02:22.800
<v Speaker 1>show today, more lunatics, because you know that's how we

38
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:28.560
<v Speaker 1>do things around here, and in this case it's Starbucks

39
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:35.840
<v Speaker 1>lunatics and there we go. Yeah, that is so weird

40
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:43.879
<v Speaker 1>and the most evil hold on, maybe not, I shouldn't exaggerate.

41
00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:50.599
<v Speaker 1>It's pretty close one of the most evil family videos

42
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:56.199
<v Speaker 1>I think I've ever seen. Like Ross, when you were

43
00:02:56.280 --> 00:03:06.159
<v Speaker 1>dubbing this woman in who is torturing her grandfather, would

44
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:09.960
<v Speaker 1>you say, that's one of the most evil family videos

45
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:14.400
<v Speaker 1>that you have ever dubbed in just in the way

46
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:18.879
<v Speaker 1>that she's treating this day yet like nonviolent video share Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

47
00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:23.080
<v Speaker 1>I just mean emotionally, I it's it's and I don't

48
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:25.960
<v Speaker 1>know why it hit me so hard. Maybe it's because

49
00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:31.960
<v Speaker 1>my grandfather, he was the only one. He lived till

50
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:36.039
<v Speaker 1>he was ninety nine, and he just passed away a

51
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:41.280
<v Speaker 1>couple of years ago. And I can't even imagine treating

52
00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:47.599
<v Speaker 1>that man, or anybody's grandfather short of there being some

53
00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:49.639
<v Speaker 1>like criminal issues.

54
00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:51.719
<v Speaker 3>That way.

55
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:55.439
<v Speaker 1>And and and it's clear that's not what the issue is.

56
00:03:56.039 --> 00:03:58.520
<v Speaker 1>I watched I I we're only gonna we're only gonna

57
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:00.919
<v Speaker 1>play a little of it, but we're tweet it. It's

58
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:04.520
<v Speaker 1>ten minutes, and I would encourage you to watch all

59
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:07.719
<v Speaker 1>of it. And I didn't realize so TikTok has a

60
00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:12.240
<v Speaker 1>ten minute option. Now, I mean, I almost hate TikTok

61
00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:16.720
<v Speaker 1>for it to have to watch all ten minutes of

62
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:26.519
<v Speaker 1>this absolutely soulless granddaughter create content around torturing her grandfather.

63
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:30.600
<v Speaker 1>And I don't mean physically torturing, but he she might

64
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:37.399
<v Speaker 1>as well emotionally torturing her grandfather, who, by her own

65
00:04:37.439 --> 00:04:42.800
<v Speaker 1>words in there, wants nothing more, regardless of her stupid haircut,

66
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:46.839
<v Speaker 1>her purple hair, her nose ring, whatever it is, wants

67
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:51.959
<v Speaker 1>nothing more than to have some sort of relationship with

68
00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:56.480
<v Speaker 1>his granddaughter. And the only time she feels that she

69
00:04:56.680 --> 00:05:00.000
<v Speaker 1>is willing to do that is so that she can

70
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:06.680
<v Speaker 1>make a video for TikTok to out him or to

71
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:16.800
<v Speaker 1>out the fact that she's virtuous in rejecting his love.

72
00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:24.480
<v Speaker 1>It's it's it's it's you, hear me, I'm speechless, like

73
00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:27.240
<v Speaker 1>I at first, I'm like, this has to be a bit.

74
00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:29.600
<v Speaker 1>But the more I watch this thing, and I want

75
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:31.399
<v Speaker 1>you to watch all ten minutes. Like I said, we're

76
00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:34.680
<v Speaker 1>not gonna play the whole thing for you, mostly because

77
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:37.920
<v Speaker 1>I feel like it would make you too angry. But

78
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:41.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna give you enough to understand what's going on

79
00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:53.160
<v Speaker 1>and of all of the soulless, uh clout chasing awfulness

80
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:57.319
<v Speaker 1>that the Internet has in store for you every time

81
00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:02.639
<v Speaker 1>you log in, it's one of the most painful, horrendous things.

82
00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:07.920
<v Speaker 1>From an emotional standpoint, I think I've seen and you know,

83
00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:10.639
<v Speaker 1>I've been doing this job for a little while, Ross

84
00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:12.759
<v Speaker 1>and I have been doing this job for ten years

85
00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:20.040
<v Speaker 1>or more. If you believe the promos and what we're

86
00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:21.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna get to, I'm gonna play it for you here

87
00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:22.519
<v Speaker 1>in the next sec.

88
00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:24.879
<v Speaker 3>The thing is like she completely believes that she's more

89
00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:27.560
<v Speaker 3>really superior and doing the right thing and right, they say, yes,

90
00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:29.639
<v Speaker 3>in order to do evil right, you have to be

91
00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:32.319
<v Speaker 3>thinking that you're doing the right thing.

92
00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:35.199
<v Speaker 1>Are you saying there's a historical record there is.

93
00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:37.759
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

94
00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:40.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why it hit me so hard. Maybe

95
00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:43.839
<v Speaker 1>it's because like the last like, my parents died when

96
00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:46.720
<v Speaker 1>I was in my mid twenties, right, and they died

97
00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:49.560
<v Speaker 1>very close to each other, which is crazy because in

98
00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:55.079
<v Speaker 1>my family, everybody lives way too long. It's the joke, right,

99
00:06:55.560 --> 00:07:00.199
<v Speaker 1>Like we have we have we have several hundred plus

100
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:04.680
<v Speaker 1>year olds. My grandfather made it to ninety nine. We

101
00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:08.079
<v Speaker 1>have several hundred plus year olds. But my parents both

102
00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:12.879
<v Speaker 1>died in their mid fifties, and you know, not from

103
00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:16.759
<v Speaker 1>natural causes. Obviously, my mom had cancer and my dad

104
00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:21.480
<v Speaker 1>had a he had literally like a birth defect. So

105
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:26.519
<v Speaker 1>when they did surgery for a condition he had, he

106
00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:30.160
<v Speaker 1>didn't make it right. And I was within literally months

107
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:32.040
<v Speaker 1>of each other. And keep in mind they had been

108
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:36.439
<v Speaker 1>like separated since I was twelve, so you know, just

109
00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:39.759
<v Speaker 1>boom boom, mid twenties. But for the most part, my

110
00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:43.240
<v Speaker 1>family lives a very long time. And I just remember

111
00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:49.600
<v Speaker 1>my grandfather World War two VET college professor Yellowstone Ranger,

112
00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:55.480
<v Speaker 1>Grumpa as we called him instead of Grandpa, great, great individual.

113
00:07:56.639 --> 00:08:00.879
<v Speaker 1>And I can't imagine me or my soleans or one

114
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:06.319
<v Speaker 1>of my cousins treating him like that over whatever. To

115
00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:10.319
<v Speaker 1>this day, I don't know how he voted. I think

116
00:08:10.399 --> 00:08:14.040
<v Speaker 1>I know, I don't know. It never entered the chat,

117
00:08:14.199 --> 00:08:19.519
<v Speaker 1>so to speak. And this woman didn't just tape an

118
00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:26.959
<v Speaker 1>argument with her grandfather. She created content based on her

119
00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:32.679
<v Speaker 1>own virtuousness. It's it's it's one of the most awful videos.

120
00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:35.320
<v Speaker 1>And that's saying something for the Internet, where there's two girls,

121
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:40.279
<v Speaker 1>one cup okay and goatsy. If you don't know what

122
00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:43.960
<v Speaker 1>that is, I would encourage you not to google ras.

123
00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:51.720
<v Speaker 1>Should people google goatsy, I would not. Okay, this is

124
00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:55.639
<v Speaker 1>up there, this is this is the Goatsy of family relations.

125
00:08:56.840 --> 00:08:58.919
<v Speaker 1>And that's saying something. I mean, just without the.

126
00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:01.720
<v Speaker 3>Visual and her wearing a mask throughout the entire thing,

127
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:04.200
<v Speaker 3>it makes you think that it's a skit at first, right.

128
00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:09.799
<v Speaker 1>You're absolutely absolutely and I totally did. But as you

129
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:12.000
<v Speaker 1>watched it, you realize that's not a skit.

130
00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:15.200
<v Speaker 3>No, she's a complete lunatic who is going to be

131
00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:18.919
<v Speaker 3>regretting what she did in the future guaranteed, well, I

132
00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:20.200
<v Speaker 3>guarantee it.

133
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:21.240
<v Speaker 1>Maybe.

134
00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:23.039
<v Speaker 3>I mean it might not be like you know, next

135
00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:26.480
<v Speaker 3>year or ten, but somewhere down the line, she's gonna

136
00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:31.200
<v Speaker 3>regret it. It's because you're gonna miss that grandparent. Wish

137
00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:33.919
<v Speaker 3>you could have used the time differently.

138
00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:39.279
<v Speaker 1>Well, like I said, I'm gonna play it for you

139
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:40.879
<v Speaker 1>here in the next I'm gonna play it a couple

140
00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:45.720
<v Speaker 1>of times today because like it, it's so shocked me

141
00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:50.080
<v Speaker 1>and considering this is what we do, right, this is

142
00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:56.159
<v Speaker 1>what Ross and I swim in every day. Just lunatics.

143
00:09:56.480 --> 00:10:00.360
<v Speaker 1>Some are fun, there's fun lunatics. They're usually in orda

144
00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:02.440
<v Speaker 1>and they do things like, hey, what can I do

145
00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:05.120
<v Speaker 1>with a gator? Well, I'm naked, and then and then

146
00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:08.960
<v Speaker 1>they figure something new out right, That's that's one thing

147
00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:12.360
<v Speaker 1>this And I think what hits me too is I

148
00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:15.279
<v Speaker 1>don't know what her politics were in school, like high school,

149
00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:18.039
<v Speaker 1>but you know, there's a very good chance that this

150
00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:24.440
<v Speaker 1>grandfather or you know, his kids, I e. Her parents

151
00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:28.919
<v Speaker 1>literally paid an obscene amount of money to make her

152
00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:33.320
<v Speaker 1>like that, because that has total because she's reading from

153
00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:35.759
<v Speaker 1>a script. Do you realize I mean you probably picked

154
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:38.159
<v Speaker 1>up on that where she's like, this is some sort

155
00:10:38.200 --> 00:10:41.799
<v Speaker 1>of thing that she didn't come up with, where she's

156
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:45.000
<v Speaker 1>got the series of questions, the whole process, the whole thing.

157
00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:50.320
<v Speaker 1>It's just it's awful. And uh, I'm sorry I'm teasing it,

158
00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:53.759
<v Speaker 1>but I'm not even teasing it just because I want

159
00:10:53.799 --> 00:10:56.559
<v Speaker 1>you to listen to my show. I just like I

160
00:10:56.639 --> 00:11:00.360
<v Speaker 1>emotionally want to share this with you because it's one

161
00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:04.559
<v Speaker 1>of the most awful things I've ever seen. So we'll

162
00:11:04.559 --> 00:11:05.159
<v Speaker 1>get into that.

163
00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:07.039
<v Speaker 3>Did you think I thought she sounded like one of

164
00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:09.919
<v Speaker 3>these people like from say North Korea, who's been brought

165
00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:16.240
<v Speaker 3>up in propaganda her entire life, and she's just yeah, script, yes, yes, that's.

166
00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:18.320
<v Speaker 1>And I don't know why that made it worse, but

167
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:21.799
<v Speaker 1>it was clearly not her idea initially, but she's all

168
00:11:21.799 --> 00:11:26.440
<v Speaker 1>in on it. And then what she wrote on the

169
00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:29.360
<v Speaker 1>you know in the video right is you know, it's

170
00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:32.039
<v Speaker 1>like most TikTok videos where they have like a you know,

171
00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:36.240
<v Speaker 1>they got words on the screen. And I don't know why,

172
00:11:36.279 --> 00:11:39.320
<v Speaker 1>but that just made it a thousand times worse because

173
00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:43.159
<v Speaker 1>what she says is, and i'll paraphrase, he has been

174
00:11:44.039 --> 00:11:48.440
<v Speaker 1>constantly trying to establish a relationship with her, keeps showing

175
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:51.919
<v Speaker 1>up at her house, keeps coming over, and she's the

176
00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:56.200
<v Speaker 1>way she worded it, she's annoyed. And all this guy

177
00:11:56.360 --> 00:12:00.519
<v Speaker 1>clearly wants is a relationship with his grandar. Doesn't care

178
00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:04.639
<v Speaker 1>that she's got purple hair, or that weird bangs cut

179
00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:12.440
<v Speaker 1>or horrible ideas. He doesn't care. That's his granddaughter. All

180
00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:15.519
<v Speaker 1>he wants is to have a relationship with her. And

181
00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:21.759
<v Speaker 1>so he's willing to sit there for ten minutes and

182
00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:25.639
<v Speaker 1>be excoriated by her just to spend time with her.

183
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:30.519
<v Speaker 1>That's just that. I mean, that just takes it to

184
00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:31.039
<v Speaker 1>a ten.

185
00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:34.279
<v Speaker 3>It's even worse because a lot of me Listen, you

186
00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:36.279
<v Speaker 3>get to that age and a lot of the times,

187
00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:38.720
<v Speaker 3>the people that you've known your entire life are dead.

188
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:41.559
<v Speaker 3>A lot of the times the yeah you talked about

189
00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:43.759
<v Speaker 3>this with your mom, Yeah, a lot of times the

190
00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:46.240
<v Speaker 3>only people you have left our family. And for you

191
00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:50.200
<v Speaker 3>to be, you know, distancing yourself from this person who

192
00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:54.000
<v Speaker 3>desperately wants contact is super evil. I just I can't even.

193
00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:56.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and then to decide the one time you're going

194
00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:58.720
<v Speaker 1>to give him contact so you can make a video

195
00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:05.960
<v Speaker 1>showing him out as you know, an agent of fascism.

196
00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:09.159
<v Speaker 1>I'm not exaggerating, by the way. This is basically her words,

197
00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:12.279
<v Speaker 1>so that you can get content for TikTok, so that

198
00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:15.720
<v Speaker 1>your friends, also with purple hair, can go, oh, you

199
00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:19.879
<v Speaker 1>did the right thing. Good for you. It just makes

200
00:13:19.879 --> 00:13:22.559
<v Speaker 1>it a thousand times worse. And I know that some

201
00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:26.919
<v Speaker 1>of our listeners are probably dealing with this, and it's

202
00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:29.799
<v Speaker 1>just it's crazy to me. This is not a standard

203
00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:34.759
<v Speaker 1>family tiff, right, this is something else entirely. So that's

204
00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:37.120
<v Speaker 1>where we're gonna start this morning. So let me do this.

205
00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:40.159
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna take a break. Well, come back, I'm gonna

206
00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:43.240
<v Speaker 1>play about ninety seconds of the audio, and then I'm

207
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:46.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna encourage you to watch the whole thing because it

208
00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:50.480
<v Speaker 1>made me that angry. Okay, all right, six point twenty

209
00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:53.080
<v Speaker 1>hang on, I'm actually gonna have to play it here

210
00:13:53.120 --> 00:13:55.159
<v Speaker 1>in the next segment. But you know what, it is

211
00:13:55.240 --> 00:14:00.399
<v Speaker 1>totally worth it. So I was not attempting to trick you,

212
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:03.879
<v Speaker 1>but you got to go ahead and hear this thing

213
00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:06.960
<v Speaker 1>because I got a lot to say about it. We

214
00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:12.279
<v Speaker 1>will get to that here in just a moment, right

215
00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:14.399
<v Speaker 1>after we get the news. Let me just give you

216
00:14:14.440 --> 00:14:17.480
<v Speaker 1>a couple other things we're gonna be talking about. One

217
00:14:17.759 --> 00:14:21.840
<v Speaker 1>we I guess know what the weird Hope Hulk Hogan

218
00:14:21.960 --> 00:14:26.200
<v Speaker 1>video was about? Ross without me disclosing what this is,

219
00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:29.080
<v Speaker 1>because I'll get into it. Do you have any interest

220
00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:30.639
<v Speaker 1>in this now that you know what it is? Oh?

221
00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:33.799
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely none. Yeah, And I was super confused by it,

222
00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:37.159
<v Speaker 3>like what exactly is it? Like, what are you talking about?

223
00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:41.519
<v Speaker 3>Who's this dude? That's not Kevin Ash, that's not Vince McMahon.

224
00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:43.080
<v Speaker 3>What is happening here?

225
00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:46.600
<v Speaker 1>Well, we know what's happening, So you know, we got

226
00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:50.120
<v Speaker 1>that going for us. And I'll if he I guess

227
00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:52.559
<v Speaker 1>if you missed that portion of the show, I'll play

228
00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:57.200
<v Speaker 1>the weird non specific audio. Two.

229
00:14:57.600 --> 00:14:58.080
<v Speaker 3>As to.

230
00:14:59.720 --> 00:15:02.360
<v Speaker 1>Was it yes Stair the day before? It doesn't matter.

231
00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:03.919
<v Speaker 3>I think it was like two days ago. And I mean,

232
00:15:04.159 --> 00:15:06.440
<v Speaker 3>even if it was, it wasn't exactly waste of time

233
00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:07.960
<v Speaker 3>because at least we got this clip.

234
00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:12.120
<v Speaker 1>Out of it, and I wanted to scene set this

235
00:15:12.159 --> 00:15:16.320
<v Speaker 1>thing for you It made me a combination of so

236
00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:21.679
<v Speaker 1>incredibly sad and it literally struck emotions with me, just

237
00:15:21.720 --> 00:15:26.320
<v Speaker 1>because my grandfather he passed away literally just a couple

238
00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:29.200
<v Speaker 1>of years ago. Excuse me, just a couple of years ago.

239
00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:34.399
<v Speaker 1>He was at home the whole time. It was a

240
00:15:34.440 --> 00:15:38.360
<v Speaker 1>great dude. World War two vet I've told the story,

241
00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:45.519
<v Speaker 1>literally injured, well, shot and he was an officer, he

242
00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:48.519
<v Speaker 1>was a pilot, he was a college instructor. He was

243
00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:54.200
<v Speaker 1>a Yellowstone ranger during World War Two. In the days

244
00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:57.279
<v Speaker 1>following D Day, he was not a D Day guy,

245
00:15:57.440 --> 00:16:05.600
<v Speaker 1>but in the weeks following he did support and he

246
00:16:05.840 --> 00:16:08.600
<v Speaker 1>was shot. I laughed because he laughs. He was shot

247
00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:13.120
<v Speaker 1>in the leg smoking a cigarette in France by essentially

248
00:16:13.159 --> 00:16:17.000
<v Speaker 1>some hold out Germans. Right, goes back to the US

249
00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:21.639
<v Speaker 1>recovers and they put him in an administrative role at

250
00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:27.279
<v Speaker 1>one of the internment camps, in this case heart Butte,

251
00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:31.639
<v Speaker 1>which was near Cody. And even though he grew up

252
00:16:31.840 --> 00:16:35.039
<v Speaker 1>as the crow flies like fifty miles from my grandmother,

253
00:16:35.200 --> 00:16:38.159
<v Speaker 1>they never would have met. She had been at the

254
00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:42.600
<v Speaker 1>University of Wyoming literally studying Latin, and to this day,

255
00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:45.879
<v Speaker 1>I don't understand that decision. She never fully explained it.

256
00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:49.559
<v Speaker 1>She's gone now. And she took as a lot of

257
00:16:49.559 --> 00:16:53.240
<v Speaker 1>women did. She aided the war effort, and she took

258
00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:58.639
<v Speaker 1>a secretarial role, and she actually spoke a few different languages,

259
00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:03.000
<v Speaker 1>not Japan though, So dude, she was totally that's how

260
00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:05.000
<v Speaker 1>they met. I wouldn't be here if we didn't turn

261
00:17:05.039 --> 00:17:05.640
<v Speaker 1>the Japanese.

262
00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:09.160
<v Speaker 3>No, she was totally like a spy or something like

263
00:17:09.400 --> 00:17:12.319
<v Speaker 3>working at a think tank or something like multiple languages

264
00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:16.559
<v Speaker 3>and probably like working in archaeology. Yeah, guaranteed.

265
00:17:16.960 --> 00:17:19.880
<v Speaker 1>Well she did the Latin thing because her one sister

266
00:17:20.039 --> 00:17:23.079
<v Speaker 1>was a nun and they were super Catholic. But I

267
00:17:23.119 --> 00:17:24.480
<v Speaker 1>don't know where she thought she was going to go

268
00:17:24.519 --> 00:17:26.759
<v Speaker 1>with that, but she never finished her degree there. And

269
00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:30.160
<v Speaker 1>what's funny is my grandfather was a college professor. I

270
00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:32.440
<v Speaker 1>don't know if I've ever told this story. So he

271
00:17:32.599 --> 00:17:35.160
<v Speaker 1>was a college professor. So he gets done with the war,

272
00:17:35.319 --> 00:17:39.039
<v Speaker 1>he uses essentially the GI bill to go to Stanford,

273
00:17:39.640 --> 00:17:45.119
<v Speaker 1>and my grandfather played basketball for Stanford as a six

274
00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:52.400
<v Speaker 1>foot Irish. Dude, that's a college basketball has changed since

275
00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:56.240
<v Speaker 1>the forties. Just throw that out there. And then he

276
00:17:56.319 --> 00:17:59.440
<v Speaker 1>worked as a college professor for the University of California system,

277
00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:01.160
<v Speaker 1>which is why that's where I went out to go

278
00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:05.400
<v Speaker 1>to school because cheap, right, and you know, from Wyoming,

279
00:18:05.519 --> 00:18:08.920
<v Speaker 1>just want to get out there. And so I am

280
00:18:09.279 --> 00:18:13.319
<v Speaker 1>literally in my freshman year of college and I'm in

281
00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:17.559
<v Speaker 1>the history class that I'm taking and the professor looks

282
00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:21.200
<v Speaker 1>like he's one hundred years old. And my grandfather didn't

283
00:18:21.240 --> 00:18:25.000
<v Speaker 1>say anything. So I'm sitting there in the class and

284
00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:28.400
<v Speaker 1>he goes, you know, he's he's going through everyone's name

285
00:18:29.400 --> 00:18:32.839
<v Speaker 1>and he goes, oh, Day, oh Day, are you John's

286
00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:37.000
<v Speaker 1>Are you John's son? I'm no, I'm his grandson. And

287
00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:40.240
<v Speaker 1>he goes, your Marjorie is my grandmother's name, Marjorie, Your

288
00:18:40.359 --> 00:18:41.720
<v Speaker 1>Marjorie's grandson.

289
00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:42.480
<v Speaker 3>Huh.

290
00:18:42.599 --> 00:18:45.119
<v Speaker 1>I had her in my class, and I'm just like

291
00:18:46.319 --> 00:18:48.480
<v Speaker 1>and all I could say is how long have you

292
00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:52.680
<v Speaker 1>been here? And the whole class laughed and uh yeah.

293
00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:55.480
<v Speaker 1>So my grandmother then went back to college there and

294
00:18:55.480 --> 00:18:58.279
<v Speaker 1>did get her degree, not in Latin's, got a more

295
00:18:58.359 --> 00:19:02.200
<v Speaker 1>general degree. But yeah, my first history professor in college

296
00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:08.160
<v Speaker 1>was my grandmother's. Uh and uh, they definitely track so

297
00:19:09.039 --> 00:19:12.200
<v Speaker 1>and and so I'm watching this video of this granddaughter

298
00:19:13.960 --> 00:19:16.240
<v Speaker 1>with her purple hair and all, and and again, if

299
00:19:16.279 --> 00:19:19.680
<v Speaker 1>you want to color. I don't mind, but there's some indicators,

300
00:19:20.319 --> 00:19:23.960
<v Speaker 1>the bowl cut on the front, the purple hair, she's

301
00:19:24.039 --> 00:19:27.000
<v Speaker 1>wearing a she's wearing a COVID mask because of course

302
00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:32.799
<v Speaker 1>you do. And she has this grandfather sitting there in

303
00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:35.519
<v Speaker 1>the room and she is at a computer like she's

304
00:19:35.680 --> 00:19:39.680
<v Speaker 1>entering information, and she's decided that she's going to do

305
00:19:39.720 --> 00:19:43.000
<v Speaker 1>a TikTok video interviewing this guy. And on the screen

306
00:19:43.160 --> 00:19:45.880
<v Speaker 1>it writes, I can't essentially, I can't get him to

307
00:19:45.960 --> 00:19:50.720
<v Speaker 1>leave me alone. He keeps coming over literally stoping by

308
00:19:50.759 --> 00:19:54.680
<v Speaker 1>my house. I'm assuming she's probably at her parents' house, right,

309
00:19:54.799 --> 00:19:58.279
<v Speaker 1>she doesn't. There's failure to launch written all over this chick,

310
00:19:58.960 --> 00:20:03.880
<v Speaker 1>and and she's negative about it, and so the way

311
00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:06.960
<v Speaker 1>she's positioning it, she's like, well, if I have him here,

312
00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:11.000
<v Speaker 1>I might as well shame him. And it just made

313
00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:14.440
<v Speaker 1>me so angry from the get Go let me play

314
00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:17.880
<v Speaker 1>the first ninety seconds of this, and then we got

315
00:20:17.880 --> 00:20:20.720
<v Speaker 1>the video out there. Go to Casey at Casey on

316
00:20:21.039 --> 00:20:25.359
<v Speaker 1>the radio if you feel like punishing yourself for ten minutes,

317
00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:28.720
<v Speaker 1>because it's it's it's equally one of the saddest and

318
00:20:28.839 --> 00:20:31.160
<v Speaker 1>most infuriating things you're going to see in a while.

319
00:20:31.599 --> 00:20:34.759
<v Speaker 1>All right, you ready, here we go.

320
00:20:35.279 --> 00:20:35.839
<v Speaker 2>Just take off.

321
00:20:38.319 --> 00:20:39.880
<v Speaker 4>I don't want you to think that this is a

322
00:20:39.920 --> 00:20:41.920
<v Speaker 4>debate in any type of way, Like I just want

323
00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:48.720
<v Speaker 4>to ask your questions, and I want you to named friend, yes, age,

324
00:20:49.000 --> 00:20:51.039
<v Speaker 4>what part have you historically got to work?

325
00:20:51.279 --> 00:20:51.640
<v Speaker 3>All right?

326
00:20:51.680 --> 00:20:54.720
<v Speaker 1>So real quick, she says, say your name? How old

327
00:20:54.720 --> 00:20:58.640
<v Speaker 1>are you? Eighty two? So he's eighty two and he's

328
00:20:58.640 --> 00:21:01.440
<v Speaker 1>getting he's getting some time with his granddaughter, which clearly

329
00:21:01.559 --> 00:21:04.359
<v Speaker 1>is the only thing he wants. So he's willing to

330
00:21:04.359 --> 00:21:04.960
<v Speaker 1>sit through this.

331
00:21:06.839 --> 00:21:09.920
<v Speaker 4>Do you know what I would label myself politically well,

332
00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:19.839
<v Speaker 4>because neither did you vote this year twenty twenty four? Yeah,

333
00:21:20.759 --> 00:21:26.200
<v Speaker 4>who did you vote for? So now going back to that,

334
00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:28.319
<v Speaker 4>because I had a feeling that I was going to don't answer,

335
00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:30.400
<v Speaker 4>why do you think you can vote away in my

336
00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:32.680
<v Speaker 4>basic human rights and expect a relationship with me?

337
00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:37.359
<v Speaker 1>And she's reading, I just I have to acsent you.

338
00:21:38.359 --> 00:21:42.920
<v Speaker 1>She's reading so like, where did she get whatever this

339
00:21:43.000 --> 00:21:46.839
<v Speaker 1>thing is? And the answer probably is whatever university they

340
00:21:46.880 --> 00:21:51.799
<v Speaker 1>paid for, some websites, some group whatever. She's she's reading

341
00:21:51.839 --> 00:21:56.720
<v Speaker 1>the questions and she's very militant in the way that

342
00:21:56.759 --> 00:21:59.039
<v Speaker 1>she's going about it. And this guy's willing to sit

343
00:21:59.079 --> 00:22:03.599
<v Speaker 1>through it because he's getting time with his granddaughter, which

344
00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:05.839
<v Speaker 1>which just makes this so much worse.

345
00:22:10.039 --> 00:22:15.240
<v Speaker 3>Well, I would think the Democrats have the answers.

346
00:22:15.640 --> 00:22:16.599
<v Speaker 5>I don't either, Okay.

347
00:22:17.640 --> 00:22:19.200
<v Speaker 1>The biggest problem that I.

348
00:22:19.119 --> 00:22:21.480
<v Speaker 4>Seek with the Democrats they throw money that thinks the

349
00:22:21.559 --> 00:22:22.960
<v Speaker 4>sound the problem, and they don't.

350
00:22:23.160 --> 00:22:25.599
<v Speaker 1>They really don't want it to sound the problem, the

351
00:22:25.720 --> 00:22:27.079
<v Speaker 1>black problem.

352
00:22:28.279 --> 00:22:28.519
<v Speaker 2>I think.

353
00:22:29.200 --> 00:22:31.200
<v Speaker 4>So I'm trying not to interact, but can I maybe

354
00:22:31.279 --> 00:22:33.960
<v Speaker 4>just simplify it to that the way you vote is

355
00:22:34.039 --> 00:22:36.279
<v Speaker 4>because you just don't agree with the Democratic Party, so

356
00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:38.319
<v Speaker 4>you're voting against the number part or you can simplify

357
00:22:38.359 --> 00:22:39.960
<v Speaker 4>it to that. Okay.

358
00:22:40.279 --> 00:22:43.319
<v Speaker 6>Can you see, after all of these questions and having

359
00:22:43.319 --> 00:22:46.039
<v Speaker 6>this talk with me, if I continue to have a

360
00:22:46.119 --> 00:22:50.519
<v Speaker 6>relationship with you without absolutely any change in your behavior,

361
00:22:50.720 --> 00:22:53.440
<v Speaker 6>how I would be enable in fascism?

362
00:22:53.599 --> 00:22:55.960
<v Speaker 1>Can you imagine telling? And I'm going to stop it

363
00:22:56.039 --> 00:22:59.839
<v Speaker 1>there because again I I'm not going to play the

364
00:22:59.839 --> 00:23:03.720
<v Speaker 1>whole ten minutes. You should watch it, though, can you

365
00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:07.759
<v Speaker 1>understand that Boie, continuing to have a relationship with you,

366
00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:13.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm enabling fascism? Just matter of fact, here you go,

367
00:23:13.559 --> 00:23:17.519
<v Speaker 1>and I'm almost happy that she doesn't have a camera

368
00:23:17.599 --> 00:23:19.799
<v Speaker 1>on him, because I can you, Matt Ross, can you

369
00:23:19.839 --> 00:23:22.240
<v Speaker 1>imagine the look on his face when she's saying this

370
00:23:22.279 --> 00:23:25.720
<v Speaker 1>to him, This eighty two year old man who quote

371
00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:30.559
<v Speaker 1>won't leave her alone, stops by, probably buys her stuff,

372
00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:34.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, Hey, hey, honey, I got you this, and

373
00:23:34.799 --> 00:23:37.039
<v Speaker 1>he's having to sit there and take that from his

374
00:23:37.400 --> 00:23:41.440
<v Speaker 1>what twenty something year old granddaughter, and he's willing to.

375
00:23:42.799 --> 00:23:44.759
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what this guy's life so he's eighty two,

376
00:23:46.279 --> 00:23:48.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't know everything he's been through in his life,

377
00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:51.319
<v Speaker 1>but clearly this is one of the most challenging things,

378
00:23:51.319 --> 00:23:55.039
<v Speaker 1>and he's not backing down from it. He's willing to

379
00:23:55.079 --> 00:23:59.319
<v Speaker 1>go over and talk to her and sit through this

380
00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:03.279
<v Speaker 1>struggle session that she's going to put him through. He's

381
00:24:03.319 --> 00:24:07.640
<v Speaker 1>willing to be on TikTok like she tells him, I'm

382
00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:11.119
<v Speaker 1>gonna put you on TikTok, and and it gets far

383
00:24:11.160 --> 00:24:11.880
<v Speaker 1>worse from there.

384
00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:14.680
<v Speaker 3>He probably just thinks she's young and dumb, as most

385
00:24:14.720 --> 00:24:17.839
<v Speaker 3>young people are. And I wouldn't even be surprised if

386
00:24:17.839 --> 00:24:20.200
<v Speaker 3>eventually he just starts playing along just so he can

387
00:24:20.240 --> 00:24:23.200
<v Speaker 3>have a relationship with her. Oh one hundred, Oh yeah,

388
00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:25.119
<v Speaker 3>I'm totally for Kamala Now I love her.

389
00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:28.279
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, I know. I honestly, I'll give the guy

390
00:24:28.319 --> 00:24:30.920
<v Speaker 1>more credit than that because he didn't he didn't beat

391
00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:34.759
<v Speaker 1>around the bush. I mean, he was very clear who

392
00:24:34.759 --> 00:24:38.240
<v Speaker 1>he voted for. Then he gave us reason why. I

393
00:24:38.279 --> 00:24:40.759
<v Speaker 1>don't even know that it was a hedging. He's just like, look,

394
00:24:40.880 --> 00:24:43.839
<v Speaker 1>democrats just they never solved anything. They just throw more

395
00:24:43.880 --> 00:24:44.279
<v Speaker 1>money out.

396
00:24:44.359 --> 00:24:45.799
<v Speaker 3>You know, a lot of us, you know, we look

397
00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:48.279
<v Speaker 3>back into how we were like twenty thirty years ago,

398
00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:49.839
<v Speaker 3>and we're like, you know, I can't believe I was

399
00:24:49.880 --> 00:24:52.039
<v Speaker 3>that person and I've changed so much. So he probably

400
00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:54.759
<v Speaker 3>thinks she will eventually change. And quote see the.

401
00:24:54.920 --> 00:24:57.319
<v Speaker 1>Like, did you ever treat your grandparents life? Ever?

402
00:24:57.640 --> 00:24:58.240
<v Speaker 3>Never? Never?

403
00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:04.119
<v Speaker 1>Never? I would have never. And remember we had the

404
00:25:04.160 --> 00:25:08.160
<v Speaker 1>affectionate name for my grandfather is Grumpa instead of Grandpa.

405
00:25:08.319 --> 00:25:12.960
<v Speaker 1>We call Lincoln's one grandfather grumpy. Yeah, well go with Grumpa.

406
00:25:13.000 --> 00:25:15.720
<v Speaker 1>It's pretty good. You can borrow that. So and he

407
00:25:16.359 --> 00:25:19.440
<v Speaker 1>he pretended like he didn't like it, but he liked it.

408
00:25:19.559 --> 00:25:24.359
<v Speaker 3>I never had any conversations about politics with any of

409
00:25:24.400 --> 00:25:25.599
<v Speaker 3>my grandparents.

410
00:25:25.839 --> 00:25:30.279
<v Speaker 1>I try. I once I once made a comment to

411
00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:34.359
<v Speaker 1>my grand to that grandfather as a college professor. And

412
00:25:34.599 --> 00:25:39.039
<v Speaker 1>the comment was it was after I started doing talk radio.

413
00:25:39.160 --> 00:25:43.319
<v Speaker 1>I said some along the lines of you must be

414
00:25:43.359 --> 00:25:49.279
<v Speaker 1>surrounded by moonbats. And he actually he got very serious

415
00:25:49.480 --> 00:25:55.240
<v Speaker 1>and he said, look, we're not getting into voting. We're

416
00:25:55.240 --> 00:25:59.200
<v Speaker 1>not getting into my colleagues voting. That's none of your business.

417
00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:02.160
<v Speaker 1>He was. And this was it was when he turned

418
00:26:02.160 --> 00:26:05.400
<v Speaker 1>the grumpa on and I and and he understood it.

419
00:26:05.720 --> 00:26:09.359
<v Speaker 1>I understood it. He's basically like, you're the grandkid. We're

420
00:26:09.359 --> 00:26:11.839
<v Speaker 1>not gonna I don't care that you're literally doing a

421
00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:15.160
<v Speaker 1>talk radio show with politics. We're not getting into it.

422
00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:20.359
<v Speaker 1>That's not our relationship. Though, I you know, I had

423
00:26:20.400 --> 00:26:23.559
<v Speaker 1>it figured out that he must have been in just

424
00:26:23.720 --> 00:26:26.839
<v Speaker 1>absolute hell surrounded by some of his colleagues. But he

425
00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:32.920
<v Speaker 1>was an accounting professor, right, which supposedly should be a

426
00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:37.039
<v Speaker 1>very nonpartisan thing. My favorite moment ever when I was

427
00:26:37.079 --> 00:26:39.519
<v Speaker 1>a kid is I went my grandmother took us to

428
00:26:39.559 --> 00:26:47.000
<v Speaker 1>the university. I was like eleven, twelve whatever. I guess

429
00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:48.720
<v Speaker 1>it was right after my dad left, so I would

430
00:26:48.720 --> 00:26:51.920
<v Speaker 1>have been twelve, and I went there and we're sitting

431
00:26:51.960 --> 00:26:54.680
<v Speaker 1>in my grandmother. We walk into the lecture hall and

432
00:26:54.799 --> 00:26:57.519
<v Speaker 1>it's not a. It's not several hundred students, but it's

433
00:26:57.599 --> 00:27:00.680
<v Speaker 1>it's it's a big class. And there was a girl

434
00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:03.920
<v Speaker 1>like chance, you know, chomping gum in the front, and

435
00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:08.839
<v Speaker 1>he walked over, grabbed the gum, put his hand out.

436
00:27:08.920 --> 00:27:12.079
<v Speaker 1>She put the gum out, and he took it and

437
00:27:12.119 --> 00:27:17.759
<v Speaker 1>he literally just smashed it down on her. And I'm like, wow, okay,

438
00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:21.079
<v Speaker 1>glad I'm not in his class. Man. He didn't like

439
00:27:21.079 --> 00:27:23.519
<v Speaker 1>physically hit her, but he took the gum and then

440
00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:25.400
<v Speaker 1>smashed it down on her desk in front of her

441
00:27:25.640 --> 00:27:29.079
<v Speaker 1>table or whatever it was row of tables. But yeah,

442
00:27:29.599 --> 00:27:31.960
<v Speaker 1>and I just I just remember that he was super

443
00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:36.279
<v Speaker 1>no nonsense. He's like, look, you're here to study this

444
00:27:36.640 --> 00:27:40.720
<v Speaker 1>where we're not doing this Like he was ironfistude. And

445
00:27:40.720 --> 00:27:43.559
<v Speaker 1>then I thought, well, I actually, for a moment, even

446
00:27:43.559 --> 00:27:46.640
<v Speaker 1>at a young age, was like, well he's much nicer

447
00:27:46.680 --> 00:27:50.559
<v Speaker 1>at home, holy cattle man. But yeah, he would never

448
00:27:50.559 --> 00:27:54.119
<v Speaker 1>get into the politics, and he the one time he

449
00:27:54.240 --> 00:27:57.039
<v Speaker 1>corrected me, I never brought it up again because I

450
00:27:57.119 --> 00:28:01.279
<v Speaker 1>realized that's not my relationship with him. That's Grandpa or

451
00:28:01.359 --> 00:28:05.640
<v Speaker 1>grumpa or whatever. Right, this isn't this isn't an opportunity

452
00:28:05.720 --> 00:28:08.920
<v Speaker 1>to sit here and go, hey, remember that time where

453
00:28:08.960 --> 00:28:12.920
<v Speaker 1>you literally fought against fascism and took a bullet for it.

454
00:28:14.000 --> 00:28:16.480
<v Speaker 1>Let me tell you what I think. Of course, I

455
00:28:16.880 --> 00:28:19.519
<v Speaker 1>never really had that liberal phase, but yeah, I.

456
00:28:19.559 --> 00:28:22.279
<v Speaker 3>Think that's a good point too. It's because our grandparents

457
00:28:22.279 --> 00:28:25.039
<v Speaker 3>were part of that World War two generation, right, So

458
00:28:25.079 --> 00:28:27.759
<v Speaker 3>there's like a gap there in the age then of

459
00:28:27.799 --> 00:28:30.680
<v Speaker 3>what she's dealing with. But a little bit both of

460
00:28:30.680 --> 00:28:33.880
<v Speaker 3>my grand like my yeah, her grandparents probably at eighty

461
00:28:33.920 --> 00:28:36.640
<v Speaker 3>two probably obviously probably wasn't a World war. Yeah, both

462
00:28:36.640 --> 00:28:38.759
<v Speaker 3>of my grandparents fought in World War Two, one in

463
00:28:38.799 --> 00:28:41.319
<v Speaker 3>Europe and one in the Pacific, So I can sort

464
00:28:41.319 --> 00:28:44.200
<v Speaker 3>of imagine where they're coming from. But you know, I

465
00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:46.799
<v Speaker 3>never met my one grandfather. He died of alcoholism before

466
00:28:46.799 --> 00:28:49.119
<v Speaker 3>I was born, and the other one died of a

467
00:28:49.160 --> 00:28:50.880
<v Speaker 3>heart attack while I was on his knee when I

468
00:28:50.920 --> 00:28:52.720
<v Speaker 3>was in like third grade. So I mean I never

469
00:28:52.759 --> 00:28:56.119
<v Speaker 3>got to that point to have conversation literally on his knee. Yeah,

470
00:28:56.160 --> 00:28:57.960
<v Speaker 3>I was on his knee. We were watching that show

471
00:28:58.039 --> 00:29:01.359
<v Speaker 3>Life Goes On, remember with Quirky Oh, Yeah, and he

472
00:29:01.400 --> 00:29:02.920
<v Speaker 3>was doing the thing where like you know, you go

473
00:29:03.000 --> 00:29:05.240
<v Speaker 3>down your grandpa's knee on like a slide, like you

474
00:29:05.240 --> 00:29:06.039
<v Speaker 3>put your legs down.

475
00:29:06.200 --> 00:29:08.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, two legs, then there you go.

476
00:29:08.160 --> 00:29:10.599
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he stopped pushing me and I turned around and

477
00:29:10.599 --> 00:29:13.400
<v Speaker 3>his tongue was sticking out of his face. I was white,

478
00:29:14.119 --> 00:29:16.480
<v Speaker 3>and they immediately rushed me up to my bedroom and

479
00:29:16.519 --> 00:29:19.039
<v Speaker 3>I remember the paramedics and the ambulance coming, and that

480
00:29:19.119 --> 00:29:20.799
<v Speaker 3>was the last time I saw my grandfather. And it

481
00:29:20.839 --> 00:29:24.359
<v Speaker 3>scarred me for a long time. Dude, for a long time, Like,

482
00:29:24.559 --> 00:29:27.039
<v Speaker 3>was it my fault? Did I do anything?

483
00:29:27.119 --> 00:29:27.279
<v Speaker 6>Oh?

484
00:29:27.319 --> 00:29:29.359
<v Speaker 3>I carried a picture around in my back pocket. My

485
00:29:29.440 --> 00:29:31.720
<v Speaker 3>parents like considered, like sending me to therapy. It was

486
00:29:31.759 --> 00:29:34.119
<v Speaker 3>a big deal. Yeah, and like I really got it

487
00:29:34.440 --> 00:29:36.559
<v Speaker 3>to this day. Right, You're always going to miss your grandparents.

488
00:29:36.640 --> 00:29:40.119
<v Speaker 3>But I never had those conversations about politics because I wasn't.

489
00:29:39.920 --> 00:29:41.039
<v Speaker 1>Thirty when you were a little kid.

490
00:29:41.160 --> 00:29:43.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah yeah, yeah.

491
00:29:43.680 --> 00:29:47.000
<v Speaker 1>And my my my mom's father, he died of a

492
00:29:47.039 --> 00:29:50.000
<v Speaker 1>heart attack when I was about the same age, so

493
00:29:50.640 --> 00:29:52.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, I never I never thought to broach it

494
00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:55.079
<v Speaker 1>with him. But yeah, that's dude, I had no idea.

495
00:29:55.160 --> 00:29:58.319
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, my grand my grandmother's like my one lived to

496
00:29:58.359 --> 00:30:00.359
<v Speaker 3>be like eighty three, eighty four, the other was like

497
00:30:00.440 --> 00:30:04.119
<v Speaker 3>seventy six. The same thing. It was never politics. It

498
00:30:04.200 --> 00:30:09.759
<v Speaker 3>was I'm visiting grandma and a grandkid, you know, grandma stuff, which.

499
00:30:09.640 --> 00:30:14.400
<v Speaker 1>Was amazing grandmothers now looking grandmother. Ya, holy cow, dude.

500
00:30:14.559 --> 00:30:16.720
<v Speaker 3>But like looking back now, like I wish I could

501
00:30:16.720 --> 00:30:19.279
<v Speaker 3>have had those Here's my point is, like I wish

502
00:30:19.359 --> 00:30:21.680
<v Speaker 3>they were still alive so I could have these important

503
00:30:21.680 --> 00:30:24.319
<v Speaker 3>conversations that I wish I could have had because now

504
00:30:24.319 --> 00:30:26.240
<v Speaker 3>I'm older and I'm more experienced, and I would like

505
00:30:26.279 --> 00:30:28.960
<v Speaker 3>to know what was it like growing up? What was

506
00:30:29.000 --> 00:30:30.960
<v Speaker 3>it like to live through World War two? What was

507
00:30:31.000 --> 00:30:31.480
<v Speaker 3>the country?

508
00:30:31.519 --> 00:30:34.119
<v Speaker 1>The depression? Yeah, I hated that. When I was a kid,

509
00:30:34.160 --> 00:30:36.720
<v Speaker 1>my grandmother tell me about the depression and what they

510
00:30:36.799 --> 00:30:38.759
<v Speaker 1>you know, and she'd showed me the photos of literally

511
00:30:38.799 --> 00:30:41.359
<v Speaker 1>her and her sisters having to do a wagon team. Yeah.

512
00:30:41.400 --> 00:30:42.799
<v Speaker 3>The thing is, you get older and you go through

513
00:30:42.799 --> 00:30:45.759
<v Speaker 3>more experiences in your own life changes, and you a

514
00:30:45.799 --> 00:30:48.200
<v Speaker 3>lot of times you want advice from people that have

515
00:30:48.279 --> 00:30:50.759
<v Speaker 3>lived through the same thing or you know, gone through

516
00:30:50.759 --> 00:30:53.240
<v Speaker 3>maybe similar things, because you go through similar things as

517
00:30:53.279 --> 00:30:55.799
<v Speaker 3>being human beings. And I know there's tons of times

518
00:30:55.799 --> 00:30:58.000
<v Speaker 3>where I wish I could call my father and ask

519
00:30:58.079 --> 00:31:00.759
<v Speaker 3>for advice. And I just talked my mother about this

520
00:31:00.839 --> 00:31:02.160
<v Speaker 3>that she's like, you know, there's a lot of things

521
00:31:02.160 --> 00:31:03.759
<v Speaker 3>that you might have questions about that I can't answer

522
00:31:03.759 --> 00:31:06.200
<v Speaker 3>because I'm not a guy. You know. It's like physical

523
00:31:06.200 --> 00:31:08.039
<v Speaker 3>stuff that happens to your body as you get older.

524
00:31:08.400 --> 00:31:12.319
<v Speaker 3>And it's just this girl is going to regret wasting

525
00:31:12.400 --> 00:31:14.680
<v Speaker 3>this time and she's gonna have the same sort of

526
00:31:14.799 --> 00:31:17.000
<v Speaker 3>thoughts that we all have about our grandparents that have

527
00:31:17.039 --> 00:31:20.160
<v Speaker 3>passed away, and it's gonna haunt her eventually, really is.

528
00:31:21.359 --> 00:31:26.119
<v Speaker 1>And the the uh, how do I say? Is the

529
00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:30.519
<v Speaker 1>non christian esque part of me kind of wants that

530
00:31:30.640 --> 00:31:34.480
<v Speaker 1>for her, which I understand is not a good look, right,

531
00:31:34.640 --> 00:31:37.440
<v Speaker 1>that I want her to emotionally haunt her the rest

532
00:31:37.440 --> 00:31:39.839
<v Speaker 1>of it. But it made me so angry watching this

533
00:31:41.160 --> 00:31:44.680
<v Speaker 1>and again it goes on for like ten minutes because

534
00:31:44.720 --> 00:31:47.839
<v Speaker 1>I guess that's the cap on TikTok videos, and it's

535
00:31:47.880 --> 00:31:51.799
<v Speaker 1>because it's because it's really the only thing, it's the

536
00:31:51.799 --> 00:31:55.640
<v Speaker 1>only penalty she's gonna pay. And I'm just assuming she's

537
00:31:55.680 --> 00:31:57.960
<v Speaker 1>back living with her parents, i e. The you know,

538
00:31:58.039 --> 00:32:02.799
<v Speaker 1>the the grand or the son or daughter of this grandfather.

539
00:32:03.759 --> 00:32:06.880
<v Speaker 1>And that's the first thought that popped in my head too,

540
00:32:07.319 --> 00:32:10.119
<v Speaker 1>like ten years from now. I hope she's miserable, and

541
00:32:10.200 --> 00:32:13.720
<v Speaker 1>I shouldn't. I shouldn't hope somebody's miserable, but you hope

542
00:32:13.759 --> 00:32:17.759
<v Speaker 1>they come to terms with it. But the willingness, the

543
00:32:17.799 --> 00:32:21.160
<v Speaker 1>willingness to do it, the willingness to grant him this

544
00:32:21.319 --> 00:32:24.799
<v Speaker 1>thing that is the only thing he clearly wants in

545
00:32:24.839 --> 00:32:28.359
<v Speaker 1>relation to her, and he's willing to sit there and

546
00:32:29.640 --> 00:32:37.160
<v Speaker 1>be made fun of, told he's a fascist, all of

547
00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:42.839
<v Speaker 1>these things, and it's I can't even fathom it. So anyway,

548
00:32:42.920 --> 00:32:46.279
<v Speaker 1>at Casey on the radio is the Twitter account? We

549
00:32:46.319 --> 00:32:49.519
<v Speaker 1>got the video? Go watch it. I watch it after

550
00:32:49.559 --> 00:32:51.000
<v Speaker 1>the show because you don't want to miss any of

551
00:32:51.000 --> 00:32:54.079
<v Speaker 1>the show. But it is out there all right, coming

552
00:32:54.160 --> 00:32:58.480
<v Speaker 1>up Tim Walls and Starbucks insanity, that's next. Hang on,

553
00:32:58.720 --> 00:33:01.200
<v Speaker 1>I can't decide if I want the Superman rumor to

554
00:33:01.240 --> 00:33:03.400
<v Speaker 1>be true or not. Ross what do you think? Do

555
00:33:03.440 --> 00:33:05.640
<v Speaker 1>you want it to be true or not to be true?

556
00:33:05.680 --> 00:33:08.680
<v Speaker 1>And it's just so weird. It's literally leaking the same

557
00:33:08.759 --> 00:33:11.480
<v Speaker 1>time we're figuring out whether we should fight gorillas.

558
00:33:11.559 --> 00:33:14.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I thought about that connection as well, And I'm like,

559
00:33:14.880 --> 00:33:16.680
<v Speaker 3>I wonder if the whole thing's been like some weird

560
00:33:16.720 --> 00:33:20.200
<v Speaker 3>marketing thing for Superman, like with the.

561
00:33:19.960 --> 00:33:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Crazy clowns around when it came out.

562
00:33:23.039 --> 00:33:24.480
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if the rumors are true, but I

563
00:33:24.480 --> 00:33:25.960
<v Speaker 3>mean I'm gonna see the movie no matter what. I

564
00:33:25.960 --> 00:33:27.200
<v Speaker 3>think it looks good. I don't care.

565
00:33:27.440 --> 00:33:29.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no, no, no, I'm with you. I'll definitely go

566
00:33:29.680 --> 00:33:31.559
<v Speaker 1>see I don't know that i'll go see this thing,

567
00:33:31.599 --> 00:33:34.319
<v Speaker 1>but I'll see it when it's available in my house

568
00:33:34.400 --> 00:33:37.359
<v Speaker 1>because people at a theater are you Are you thinking

569
00:33:37.359 --> 00:33:38.079
<v Speaker 1>to go into the theater?

570
00:33:38.240 --> 00:33:39.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, definitely gonna go.

571
00:33:39.279 --> 00:33:41.440
<v Speaker 1>Say yes, do you do IMAX or not?

572
00:33:41.640 --> 00:33:43.400
<v Speaker 3>No, we do not. We do whatever we have in

573
00:33:43.480 --> 00:33:44.480
<v Speaker 3>wake Forest.

574
00:33:45.279 --> 00:33:47.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know you don't have IMAX up there a Warres.

575
00:33:47.799 --> 00:33:48.480
<v Speaker 3>I don't think so.

576
00:33:48.759 --> 00:33:50.440
<v Speaker 1>No, Oh, I did not know that.

577
00:33:50.559 --> 00:33:51.079
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

578
00:33:51.160 --> 00:33:53.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, dude, you're gonna get me in a theater. It's

579
00:33:53.319 --> 00:33:57.079
<v Speaker 1>gonna be an IMAX opportunity because I don't want to

580
00:33:57.119 --> 00:33:57.720
<v Speaker 1>go to a theater.

581
00:33:58.640 --> 00:34:01.440
<v Speaker 3>But we're gonna work. Maybe gonna go to whatever's close

582
00:34:01.519 --> 00:34:03.359
<v Speaker 3>and whatever is in the window of when Lincoln is.

583
00:34:03.319 --> 00:34:05.319
<v Speaker 1>In whatever has comfortable chairs. Right.

584
00:34:05.920 --> 00:34:08.400
<v Speaker 3>But I'm a fan of the James gun vibe, like

585
00:34:08.480 --> 00:34:11.639
<v Speaker 3>his themes like Guardians of the Galaxy is fantastic. I

586
00:34:11.800 --> 00:34:14.280
<v Speaker 3>like a lot of people have been like, Boo, we

587
00:34:14.320 --> 00:34:18.079
<v Speaker 3>need to go back to the Snyder sort of Superman

588
00:34:18.199 --> 00:34:21.760
<v Speaker 3>where it's dark and you have that really weird color

589
00:34:21.840 --> 00:34:24.360
<v Speaker 3>palette where everything looks washed out, and I like, this

590
00:34:24.440 --> 00:34:28.159
<v Speaker 3>is that dark? I think I wasn't a fan of

591
00:34:28.159 --> 00:34:31.800
<v Speaker 3>the Snyder Superman's. I really wasn't that whole vibe. It's

592
00:34:31.800 --> 00:34:33.320
<v Speaker 3>like DC for the longest time for me, And I

593
00:34:33.360 --> 00:34:34.840
<v Speaker 3>know it sounds stupid, but it comes down to the

594
00:34:34.840 --> 00:34:37.719
<v Speaker 3>color palette. Like you look at you look at Marvel,

595
00:34:38.119 --> 00:34:41.280
<v Speaker 3>Marvel is like vibrant and bright, and then you'd go

596
00:34:41.360 --> 00:34:43.480
<v Speaker 3>to a DC movie and it would be like it

597
00:34:43.800 --> 00:34:46.480
<v Speaker 3>completely washed out and on the dark scenes, I can't

598
00:34:46.480 --> 00:34:48.320
<v Speaker 3>even tell what's going on in the screen. And it's

599
00:34:48.880 --> 00:34:50.039
<v Speaker 3>did you like the Man?

600
00:34:50.440 --> 00:34:53.480
<v Speaker 1>Because I totally know what you're talking about. Color was

601
00:34:53.960 --> 00:34:54.440
<v Speaker 1>washed Yeah.

602
00:34:54.519 --> 00:34:58.079
<v Speaker 3>No, not a fan of the DC. Even Aquaman sucks.

603
00:34:58.119 --> 00:34:58.639
<v Speaker 3>They all suck.

604
00:35:00.239 --> 00:35:01.000
<v Speaker 1>The first Aquaman.

605
00:35:01.079 --> 00:35:03.840
<v Speaker 3>I hate it. This is the color palette, Like the

606
00:35:03.840 --> 00:35:04.960
<v Speaker 3>screen looks gross.

607
00:35:05.679 --> 00:35:07.320
<v Speaker 1>Well he's underwater, so.

608
00:35:07.440 --> 00:35:09.599
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so it's already hard enough. But I like the

609
00:35:09.719 --> 00:35:12.000
<v Speaker 3>James Gun vibe, so I'm definitely gonna check it out.

610
00:35:12.320 --> 00:35:14.320
<v Speaker 1>Okay, do you like the First Wonder woman. I thought

611
00:35:14.400 --> 00:35:16.079
<v Speaker 1>that was okay, I'm telling you, I hate all of

612
00:35:16.079 --> 00:35:19.360
<v Speaker 1>them all the I had no idea. So well, we'll talk.

613
00:35:19.400 --> 00:35:22.000
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk more about this too, coming up literally like

614
00:35:22.119 --> 00:35:28.239
<v Speaker 1>one hour from now because it is Thursday. So Nerd corresponded, right,

615
00:35:28.800 --> 00:35:30.119
<v Speaker 1>that's uh, that's eight oh five.

616
00:35:30.199 --> 00:35:32.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he's confirmed. Yeah.

617
00:35:32.400 --> 00:35:34.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh, text me if he's got anything else, because obviously

618
00:35:34.920 --> 00:35:37.320
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna get into this and the Star Wars.

619
00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:39.440
<v Speaker 3>I know he's really big in the and or season two.

620
00:35:39.559 --> 00:35:41.320
<v Speaker 3>So oh, we'll.

621
00:35:41.119 --> 00:35:43.239
<v Speaker 1>Talk about that for sure. So did you watch any

622
00:35:43.280 --> 00:35:45.800
<v Speaker 1>more episodes? You just watched one last week.

623
00:35:45.880 --> 00:35:49.280
<v Speaker 3>They just released the the second batch of three, and

624
00:35:49.320 --> 00:35:50.199
<v Speaker 3>I think we're like two.

625
00:35:50.159 --> 00:35:54.440
<v Speaker 1>In okay, all right, Well we won't spoil that. And

626
00:35:54.800 --> 00:35:56.840
<v Speaker 1>for the Superman thing, I'll just give you a teaser.

627
00:35:57.280 --> 00:35:59.760
<v Speaker 1>Here's here's the thing that resonated with me on it.

628
00:36:00.639 --> 00:36:06.079
<v Speaker 1>Superman Batman and the twist, which we've talked about here

629
00:36:06.119 --> 00:36:07.960
<v Speaker 1>on the show. And if you haven't seen it, that's fine.

630
00:36:08.400 --> 00:36:14.760
<v Speaker 1>So this is Affleck Batman Superman right going at it

631
00:36:14.920 --> 00:36:17.519
<v Speaker 1>and then not going at it because their moms have

632
00:36:17.639 --> 00:36:21.920
<v Speaker 1>the same name. I'm not making that up. If he

633
00:36:21.960 --> 00:36:25.239
<v Speaker 1>didn't he didn't watch it, I'm not making that up.

634
00:36:25.760 --> 00:36:29.440
<v Speaker 1>That literally was like, oh, oh okay, well we don't

635
00:36:29.440 --> 00:36:33.719
<v Speaker 1>need to fight. Our moms have the same name. And uh,

636
00:36:33.800 --> 00:36:36.599
<v Speaker 1>that stuck with me. I lost a little trust in

637
00:36:36.679 --> 00:36:39.039
<v Speaker 1>DC there, not that they had a lot going into

638
00:36:39.119 --> 00:36:39.360
<v Speaker 1>it that.

639
00:36:39.360 --> 00:36:41.320
<v Speaker 3>Should have been such like a big build up for

640
00:36:41.440 --> 00:36:42.519
<v Speaker 3>Superman to fight back.

641
00:36:42.639 --> 00:36:45.960
<v Speaker 1>That movie, You're right, that should have been banger dude.

642
00:36:46.039 --> 00:36:48.079
<v Speaker 3>Just to give an example, I think Marvel would have,

643
00:36:49.320 --> 00:36:51.760
<v Speaker 3>you know, playing this out or made it go along

644
00:36:51.760 --> 00:36:54.400
<v Speaker 3>a bit longer. That was the second installation of the

645
00:36:54.559 --> 00:36:57.679
<v Speaker 3>DC series, was Batman versus Superman. The second one like

646
00:36:57.719 --> 00:36:59.199
<v Speaker 3>that should have been like, yeah, they should have been

647
00:36:59.199 --> 00:37:01.840
<v Speaker 3>down right. It's surprising, isn't it. That should have been

648
00:37:01.840 --> 00:37:03.679
<v Speaker 3>down the line. You should have worked your.

649
00:37:03.840 --> 00:37:06.119
<v Speaker 1>That was before what were the two? What was the

650
00:37:06.159 --> 00:37:06.920
<v Speaker 1>one before it?

651
00:37:08.360 --> 00:37:11.320
<v Speaker 3>I doubt you rig I think the Superman won.

652
00:37:12.079 --> 00:37:14.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but didn't they have? Was it a wonder Woman before it?

653
00:37:14.800 --> 00:37:16.079
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if I count her?

654
00:37:16.440 --> 00:37:20.519
<v Speaker 1>Oh wow, wow, look at listen to Ross. I thought

655
00:37:20.519 --> 00:37:23.639
<v Speaker 1>the first wonder Woman was fine. The nineteen eighty four

656
00:37:23.760 --> 00:37:28.400
<v Speaker 1>one just lost me. But anyway, all right, we'll get

657
00:37:28.400 --> 00:37:30.280
<v Speaker 1>into more of it with Stephen Kent. That'll be at

658
00:37:30.519 --> 00:37:34.159
<v Speaker 1>eight o five and the twist here just to tease

659
00:37:34.199 --> 00:37:41.159
<v Speaker 1>you monkeys monkeys is why not? Not that I'm against monkeys,

660
00:37:41.280 --> 00:37:45.159
<v Speaker 1>but you know, the rumor's so ridiculous, it is. That's

661
00:37:45.159 --> 00:37:47.800
<v Speaker 1>why I'm just curious if Steven is like, yeah, but

662
00:37:47.840 --> 00:37:51.000
<v Speaker 1>I pulled the bounding into comics where Steve, I guess

663
00:37:51.000 --> 00:37:53.159
<v Speaker 1>Stephen used to work there. He doesn't write for them anymore, right,

664
00:37:54.079 --> 00:37:56.320
<v Speaker 1>he does not, He does not, But I saw it

665
00:37:56.440 --> 00:37:59.159
<v Speaker 1>like multiple places. I mean, if anyone could pull it off,

666
00:37:59.199 --> 00:38:02.920
<v Speaker 1>it'd be Lex Luthor. Right, Well, it comes down to

667
00:38:02.960 --> 00:38:06.000
<v Speaker 1>which Lex Luthor? Do you have a favorite? Lex Luthor? Spacey?

668
00:38:06.440 --> 00:38:07.440
<v Speaker 3>Spacey was great?

669
00:38:07.880 --> 00:38:13.599
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, not not Facebook dude, but definitely not. I always

670
00:38:13.639 --> 00:38:16.199
<v Speaker 1>got the rip that he probably was a horrible person

671
00:38:16.400 --> 00:38:17.000
<v Speaker 1>in person.

672
00:38:17.239 --> 00:38:20.440
<v Speaker 3>That's what I've heard, like from every interview ever at first.

673
00:38:21.920 --> 00:38:26.760
<v Speaker 1>Jesse Eisenberg, Yeah, Eisenberg, Yeah, like even like every character

674
00:38:26.800 --> 00:38:29.280
<v Speaker 1>he plays, even when they're supposed to be likable, is

675
00:38:29.320 --> 00:38:33.039
<v Speaker 1>immensely unlikable. What was the Magician movies that he did

676
00:38:33.760 --> 00:38:36.559
<v Speaker 1>Now You See Me or something like that, which was.

677
00:38:36.519 --> 00:38:38.559
<v Speaker 3>Overall Yeah, Yeah, they're coming out with like the third

678
00:38:38.639 --> 00:38:40.599
<v Speaker 3>or fourth one. They're there, they've they filmed there or

679
00:38:40.599 --> 00:38:42.960
<v Speaker 3>they're producing it. I saw something about it. I take

680
00:38:43.000 --> 00:38:46.199
<v Speaker 3>back my Lex Luthor. I'm going Hackman got yeah, I gotta.

681
00:38:46.400 --> 00:38:49.320
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna ask, so like Eisenberg's out, but Gene

682
00:38:49.320 --> 00:38:52.480
<v Speaker 1>Hackman back in the day. Yeah, but yeah, Spacey was

683
00:38:52.519 --> 00:38:55.239
<v Speaker 1>good and then obviously there, you know, there was an issue.

684
00:38:55.360 --> 00:38:56.960
<v Speaker 1>Then there's a major drop off, like how do you

685
00:38:56.960 --> 00:39:00.199
<v Speaker 1>go from those two to They tried to play it

686
00:39:00.320 --> 00:39:03.519
<v Speaker 1>like the Joker, like it was super weird. Yeah, that's

687
00:39:03.519 --> 00:39:06.320
<v Speaker 1>not Luther Luthor. You got to play him pretty straight

688
00:39:06.519 --> 00:39:09.719
<v Speaker 1>and then have the evil side of him, right, because

689
00:39:09.760 --> 00:39:12.719
<v Speaker 1>that's you know, it's the two faces of Lex Luthor,

690
00:39:13.199 --> 00:39:15.079
<v Speaker 1>because he you know, he's the he's the big corporate

691
00:39:15.079 --> 00:39:19.119
<v Speaker 1>business guy. He's basically bezos. They should have bezos play him.

692
00:39:19.119 --> 00:39:19.760
<v Speaker 1>What do you think of that?

693
00:39:19.800 --> 00:39:20.119
<v Speaker 3>He should?

694
00:39:20.239 --> 00:39:24.599
<v Speaker 1>Yes, he's all bald and stuff anyway in space? Okay,

695
00:39:25.519 --> 00:39:30.920
<v Speaker 1>all right with with Katie Perry or no, no, oh, no, okay.

696
00:39:30.280 --> 00:39:32.840
<v Speaker 1>I did you see by the way people are literally

697
00:39:32.880 --> 00:39:36.199
<v Speaker 1>showing up to her tour protesting her for CO two

698
00:39:36.239 --> 00:39:37.639
<v Speaker 1>emissions or something. Good.

699
00:39:37.719 --> 00:39:39.239
<v Speaker 3>I'm tired of that hypocrisy.

700
00:39:39.320 --> 00:39:46.400
<v Speaker 1>Good, I'm you know what, here's the what she's She's

701
00:39:46.400 --> 00:39:49.760
<v Speaker 1>not an astronaut, right, we talked about this, but also

702
00:39:50.559 --> 00:39:54.400
<v Speaker 1>shut up. I I'll literally defend her going to space

703
00:39:54.800 --> 00:39:56.719
<v Speaker 1>just for the just for the fact that I am

704
00:39:56.800 --> 00:40:01.199
<v Speaker 1>all in on them doing things where really wealthy people

705
00:40:01.320 --> 00:40:03.840
<v Speaker 1>pay to do it, and then it becomes so common

706
00:40:03.920 --> 00:40:04.679
<v Speaker 1>the rest of us can.

707
00:40:04.800 --> 00:40:07.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. No, I have no problem with that. Like you said,

708
00:40:07.159 --> 00:40:09.719
<v Speaker 3>she went on the glorified theme park ride. It was

709
00:40:09.760 --> 00:40:12.280
<v Speaker 3>a space ride, that's what it is. William Shatner also

710
00:40:12.280 --> 00:40:14.039
<v Speaker 3>did it. He's not an astronaut. He went on a

711
00:40:14.039 --> 00:40:16.159
<v Speaker 3>space ride and it's very cool and it's awesome. You

712
00:40:16.159 --> 00:40:18.519
<v Speaker 3>could do that, but you're not an astronaut. You're not

713
00:40:18.559 --> 00:40:22.320
<v Speaker 3>in Space Force or NASA or whatever. But I like

714
00:40:22.400 --> 00:40:24.599
<v Speaker 3>the fact that they're being called out for the hypocrisy

715
00:40:24.639 --> 00:40:27.039
<v Speaker 3>because at one hand, she's like save the planet. I'm

716
00:40:27.079 --> 00:40:28.960
<v Speaker 3>you know, holding up a daisy or whatever it is

717
00:40:29.159 --> 00:40:31.440
<v Speaker 3>in the space ride to the camera, and then the

718
00:40:31.519 --> 00:40:34.360
<v Speaker 3>other hand, you're, you know, there's hypocrisy there. I think

719
00:40:34.360 --> 00:40:36.000
<v Speaker 3>they should do I would love if the same thing

720
00:40:36.000 --> 00:40:38.840
<v Speaker 3>happened to Taylor Swift. Shut up about the climate. If

721
00:40:38.880 --> 00:40:41.400
<v Speaker 3>you're constantly going back and forth in the country and

722
00:40:41.400 --> 00:40:43.719
<v Speaker 3>your private jet, it's ridiculous, and they say the same

723
00:40:43.719 --> 00:40:46.760
<v Speaker 3>thing about John Kerry and all the other politicians that

724
00:40:46.800 --> 00:40:48.639
<v Speaker 3>complain about the climate and then fly to the G

725
00:40:48.760 --> 00:40:49.920
<v Speaker 3>twenty and their private jets.

726
00:40:49.920 --> 00:40:54.719
<v Speaker 1>Shut up right, I'm with you there, Yeah, you know,

727
00:40:54.840 --> 00:40:57.800
<v Speaker 1>because honestly you're probably not in on it. There's a

728
00:40:57.880 --> 00:41:00.480
<v Speaker 1>point where it's gonna get safe enough. Would have some

729
00:41:00.599 --> 00:41:03.280
<v Speaker 1>interest in it, but obviously I can't afford it. So

730
00:41:03.960 --> 00:41:05.400
<v Speaker 1>but like, I don't know, maybe.

731
00:41:05.440 --> 00:41:07.039
<v Speaker 3>Maybe you could get like an endorsement.

732
00:41:09.079 --> 00:41:11.480
<v Speaker 1>Dude. I should have put that in our sales thing.

733
00:41:11.519 --> 00:41:13.960
<v Speaker 1>We just had to like pitch endorsements to the sales.

734
00:41:13.679 --> 00:41:16.280
<v Speaker 3>Pay im casey for space rights, dude.

735
00:41:16.159 --> 00:41:20.039
<v Speaker 1>Next time they ask, I'm putting that in there, and

736
00:41:20.079 --> 00:41:22.079
<v Speaker 1>I'm putting a lot of stuff like it too.

737
00:41:22.199 --> 00:41:23.320
<v Speaker 3>Do you want web clicks or not?

738
00:41:23.840 --> 00:41:26.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? I want to go to space. Uh. I'll even

739
00:41:26.199 --> 00:41:30.559
<v Speaker 1>do the uh, the the plane where they go way

740
00:41:30.599 --> 00:41:33.800
<v Speaker 1>way up and then they descend really quickly so you

741
00:41:33.800 --> 00:41:37.039
<v Speaker 1>can float around like they did with the Kate Upton. Shoot,

742
00:41:37.960 --> 00:41:40.239
<v Speaker 1>i'll do that too. I'll do that right now. The

743
00:41:40.280 --> 00:41:43.639
<v Speaker 1>space thing I'm gonna wait on. But anyway, so, yeah,

744
00:41:43.639 --> 00:41:46.880
<v Speaker 1>it's got monkeys, so we'll uh, we'll talk more about

745
00:41:46.920 --> 00:41:51.679
<v Speaker 1>that and not just any monkeys. Uh speaking of science,

746
00:41:51.679 --> 00:41:54.639
<v Speaker 1>hold on, let me grab this story real quick. Do

747
00:41:54.639 --> 00:41:56.519
<v Speaker 1>do do do, and then we'll get to the walls stuff.

748
00:41:57.239 --> 00:42:00.880
<v Speaker 1>All right? Uh yeah, so this is crazy.

749
00:42:01.719 --> 00:42:02.239
<v Speaker 3>All right.

750
00:42:02.840 --> 00:42:06.639
<v Speaker 1>Here's the headline. Scientists want to grow human bodies without

751
00:42:06.719 --> 00:42:10.880
<v Speaker 1>brains to harvest their organs. This was a movie, right,

752
00:42:12.480 --> 00:42:14.280
<v Speaker 1>wasn't Wasn't there? I mean it's not that they didn't

753
00:42:14.320 --> 00:42:17.039
<v Speaker 1>have brains, but wasn't there a movie where the plot

754
00:42:17.119 --> 00:42:19.559
<v Speaker 1>was that you were a replacement essentially, so they can

755
00:42:19.559 --> 00:42:21.920
<v Speaker 1>harvest your organs. I can't remember what movie it was,

756
00:42:23.039 --> 00:42:25.920
<v Speaker 1>but that was the thing. So you would you would?

757
00:42:26.000 --> 00:42:29.679
<v Speaker 1>Essentially you have somebody in like cryostasis. I guess that's you,

758
00:42:29.920 --> 00:42:33.000
<v Speaker 1>and then you just I need a liver, I need

759
00:42:33.000 --> 00:42:41.239
<v Speaker 1>a heart. Whatever is that? Does that fundamentally bother people?

760
00:42:41.840 --> 00:42:45.559
<v Speaker 1>It's so creepy, man, Ross, would you like a clone

761
00:42:45.599 --> 00:42:48.599
<v Speaker 1>of you sitting in cryostasis in case you needed something?

762
00:42:48.719 --> 00:42:51.079
<v Speaker 1>I mean? Or would you have a moral objection? I

763
00:42:51.079 --> 00:42:52.559
<v Speaker 1>think i'd have a moral objective.

764
00:42:52.639 --> 00:42:54.320
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. A part of me feels like it's

765
00:42:54.320 --> 00:42:55.320
<v Speaker 3>demonic or something.

766
00:42:56.360 --> 00:42:59.599
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't have a brain, like, it doesn't function. I'm

767
00:42:59.639 --> 00:43:03.440
<v Speaker 1>just gonna learned the Democrats now that they're importing voters,

768
00:43:03.480 --> 00:43:05.920
<v Speaker 1>thing has been upsided that this would be their next thing.

769
00:43:06.039 --> 00:43:08.039
<v Speaker 3>You know, they can tax it and they can get

770
00:43:08.079 --> 00:43:08.760
<v Speaker 3>the votes from it.

771
00:43:09.119 --> 00:43:10.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah no, no, no, So what I'm saying like, oh,

772
00:43:10.760 --> 00:43:13.400
<v Speaker 1>well about how about we grow voters with no brain,

773
00:43:13.440 --> 00:43:16.519
<v Speaker 1>which is, by the way, who they're looking for, right,

774
00:43:18.400 --> 00:43:21.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm sure Nancy Pelosi looked at this and went perfect, yeah,

775
00:43:21.960 --> 00:43:25.960
<v Speaker 1>this is great, absolutely, and then probably figured out how

776
00:43:25.960 --> 00:43:29.199
<v Speaker 1>to invest in it. Yeah. So an article in the

777
00:43:29.360 --> 00:43:34.000
<v Speaker 1>MIT Tech Review, which obviously I read on the regular,

778
00:43:34.920 --> 00:43:39.360
<v Speaker 1>explore growing human bodies without brains or consciousness in order

779
00:43:39.440 --> 00:43:43.119
<v Speaker 1>to harvest organs for transplant. So what happens if you

780
00:43:43.280 --> 00:43:48.239
<v Speaker 1>die and don't need the organs? And also what happens

781
00:43:48.239 --> 00:43:52.079
<v Speaker 1>if you need one organ? But it's an endgame organ, right,

782
00:43:52.159 --> 00:43:56.039
<v Speaker 1>Like let's say you need a heart, you get the heart,

783
00:43:56.320 --> 00:44:01.000
<v Speaker 1>and then later you need a liver. And now obviously

784
00:44:01.079 --> 00:44:04.519
<v Speaker 1>the you know your your cryo you is not alive.

785
00:44:05.559 --> 00:44:06.840
<v Speaker 1>Do they have to grow another one?

786
00:44:06.920 --> 00:44:08.440
<v Speaker 3>See? The one thing that might sway me is the

787
00:44:08.480 --> 00:44:10.840
<v Speaker 3>no brain thing. But can the body function and do

788
00:44:10.960 --> 00:44:13.360
<v Speaker 3>all of its things without a brain?

789
00:44:14.000 --> 00:44:17.679
<v Speaker 1>Well, I mean, and you know, I think you got

790
00:44:17.719 --> 00:44:21.480
<v Speaker 1>to like lean heavily into what Elon's doing right with

791
00:44:21.519 --> 00:44:24.960
<v Speaker 1>like neuralink stuff like can you recreate the human brain?

792
00:44:25.760 --> 00:44:29.639
<v Speaker 1>And remember, we can keep bodies alive which essentially are

793
00:44:29.760 --> 00:44:32.880
<v Speaker 1>brain dead. Right, this is this is the whole Terry

794
00:44:32.880 --> 00:44:37.000
<v Speaker 1>Shivo discussion. Again, by the way, don't call and argue

795
00:44:37.000 --> 00:44:40.639
<v Speaker 1>whether Terry Schivo was brain dead or not. Okay, My

796
00:44:40.800 --> 00:44:43.440
<v Speaker 1>point is we're most of the way there, and this

797
00:44:43.480 --> 00:44:49.199
<v Speaker 1>is clearly speculative. And do you have multiple spare bodies?

798
00:44:50.559 --> 00:44:54.880
<v Speaker 1>That's the other thing I don't know. And what if,

799
00:44:55.639 --> 00:45:00.559
<v Speaker 1>just hypothetically, what if if this becomes a thing, but

800
00:45:00.719 --> 00:45:05.519
<v Speaker 1>you tweak your extra bodies to you know, they figure

801
00:45:05.519 --> 00:45:08.039
<v Speaker 1>out how to I'm gonna say this in the least

802
00:45:08.079 --> 00:45:12.639
<v Speaker 1>scientific way possible, not a scientist, full disclosure. But let's say,

803
00:45:14.159 --> 00:45:17.079
<v Speaker 1>let's say you're able to tweak the genes, so to speak,

804
00:45:17.159 --> 00:45:20.800
<v Speaker 1>to be a much healthier version of you, or perhaps

805
00:45:20.840 --> 00:45:22.880
<v Speaker 1>parts of the body are more pronounced. Do you get

806
00:45:22.880 --> 00:45:26.960
<v Speaker 1>what I'm driving at just saying like I don't.

807
00:45:26.719 --> 00:45:29.320
<v Speaker 3>Know, man, Yeah, it's like it's like Batman or Superman

808
00:45:29.360 --> 00:45:31.199
<v Speaker 3>when they open the closet and there's like tons of

809
00:45:31.239 --> 00:45:33.639
<v Speaker 3>like you know, their outfits or the right, they're tights

810
00:45:33.639 --> 00:45:36.079
<v Speaker 3>and stuff. Yeah, but the open is like a closet

811
00:45:36.119 --> 00:45:37.480
<v Speaker 3>full of you in various sizes.

812
00:45:39.159 --> 00:45:40.719
<v Speaker 1>Oh, it'd be weird if you kept it at home,

813
00:45:40.719 --> 00:45:44.360
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't it just kind of hanging out? You'd have to

814
00:45:44.360 --> 00:45:46.519
<v Speaker 1>go visit, just be like, oh, this is the creed.

815
00:45:46.679 --> 00:45:49.280
<v Speaker 1>But I guess maybe they think it would be normalized. Uh.

816
00:45:49.639 --> 00:45:53.280
<v Speaker 1>The author of the paper admits that many may find

817
00:45:53.360 --> 00:46:01.480
<v Speaker 1>this disturbing. You think, absolutely, yeah, but the potential benefits

818
00:46:01.559 --> 00:46:03.960
<v Speaker 1>outweigh the risk. I mean, think about it. I remember

819
00:46:04.840 --> 00:46:09.440
<v Speaker 1>the founder of Apple, Steve Jobs. Remember he literally died

820
00:46:09.599 --> 00:46:12.840
<v Speaker 1>needing a transplant, and I liked how every news outlet

821
00:46:12.960 --> 00:46:15.519
<v Speaker 1>just assumed he was going to go harvest organs and

822
00:46:15.679 --> 00:46:19.119
<v Speaker 1>like belize or something. That whole lead up. They're like,

823
00:46:19.159 --> 00:46:21.440
<v Speaker 1>why didn't he would have been a horrible person. Why

824
00:46:21.480 --> 00:46:26.840
<v Speaker 1>didn't he do that? Yeah, yeah, I don't. This is

825
00:46:27.360 --> 00:46:29.559
<v Speaker 1>it is a lot playing god. But let me tell

826
00:46:29.559 --> 00:46:32.400
<v Speaker 1>you what, if you need a heart to keep ticking,

827
00:46:33.559 --> 00:46:35.599
<v Speaker 1>I think a lot of people are not going to

828
00:46:35.679 --> 00:46:38.079
<v Speaker 1>have a problem with this. Oh, here we go. It's

829
00:46:38.079 --> 00:46:41.000
<v Speaker 1>actually in the article. So yes. The island was the

830
00:46:41.079 --> 00:46:44.559
<v Speaker 1>name of the movie Michael bay Ross's favorite director, by

831
00:46:44.599 --> 00:46:47.760
<v Speaker 1>the way, that's where we're talking about James Gunn earlier.

832
00:46:48.119 --> 00:46:51.719
<v Speaker 1>Are you the one who hates Michael Bay And maybe

833
00:46:51.719 --> 00:46:54.599
<v Speaker 1>I'm putting that on you unfairly. It might have been

834
00:46:54.679 --> 00:46:57.400
<v Speaker 1>Cordal who hates Oh Ross's screen and a call. I'm

835
00:46:57.440 --> 00:47:00.480
<v Speaker 1>trying to remember. Yeah, that whole thing is creepy. But

836
00:47:00.840 --> 00:47:06.239
<v Speaker 1>you know, if there's no there's no consciousness, there's no brain.

837
00:47:07.280 --> 00:47:11.360
<v Speaker 1>Because here's the discussion I've had with somebody who is

838
00:47:13.840 --> 00:47:15.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to tell you what faith they are,

839
00:47:15.679 --> 00:47:21.519
<v Speaker 1>but they're really really against They're more like God will

840
00:47:21.559 --> 00:47:23.719
<v Speaker 1>sort it out kind of thing when it comes to

841
00:47:23.760 --> 00:47:28.280
<v Speaker 1>a lot of medical procedures, which, hey, that's that's the

842
00:47:28.280 --> 00:47:30.760
<v Speaker 1>direction you're going to go. That's on you, whatever, do

843
00:47:30.800 --> 00:47:33.840
<v Speaker 1>your thing. I tend to have the belief that if

844
00:47:33.880 --> 00:47:38.519
<v Speaker 1>we're creating in God's image, and we're imparted with the

845
00:47:38.559 --> 00:47:42.519
<v Speaker 1>ability to develop a lot of things, we then have

846
00:47:42.639 --> 00:47:48.079
<v Speaker 1>to gauge it upon a moral compass. But that in

847
00:47:48.159 --> 00:47:52.599
<v Speaker 1>and of itself is you know, from God. You know

848
00:47:52.639 --> 00:47:56.440
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying. Like, That's why when people are like, oh,

849
00:47:56.440 --> 00:47:58.559
<v Speaker 1>you can't make jokes, I'm like, well, if we're creating

850
00:47:58.639 --> 00:48:01.400
<v Speaker 1>God's image, then he's got a sense of humor, right,

851
00:48:01.679 --> 00:48:07.039
<v Speaker 1>clearly he does. He made Florida. That's the thing. So

852
00:48:08.360 --> 00:48:11.679
<v Speaker 1>technological advances I don't necessarily have an objection to, but

853
00:48:11.719 --> 00:48:14.360
<v Speaker 1>I think you have to have a moral compass along

854
00:48:14.400 --> 00:48:19.639
<v Speaker 1>the way. Obviously, I just I feel like this probably

855
00:48:19.679 --> 00:48:23.360
<v Speaker 1>falls on the other side of it. But if they

856
00:48:23.400 --> 00:48:27.039
<v Speaker 1>can create just organs and grow them, remember they were

857
00:48:27.079 --> 00:48:29.599
<v Speaker 1>growing organs like attached to a mouse, which by the way,

858
00:48:29.719 --> 00:48:32.320
<v Speaker 1>sucks to be that mouse. They like they made an

859
00:48:32.400 --> 00:48:35.039
<v Speaker 1>ear on a mouse and then transplanted on the dude.

860
00:48:35.280 --> 00:48:38.679
<v Speaker 1>Functional organs are not here yet but maybe one day.

861
00:48:40.360 --> 00:48:44.360
<v Speaker 1>And they've already used pig organs before. So if it's

862
00:48:44.400 --> 00:48:47.679
<v Speaker 1>not attached to a full human replicant of you with

863
00:48:47.840 --> 00:48:50.840
<v Speaker 1>no brain, then all of a sudden it becomes a

864
00:48:50.880 --> 00:48:55.199
<v Speaker 1>little murkier for people. So I don't know, it's an

865
00:48:55.199 --> 00:48:58.280
<v Speaker 1>interesting discussion. Point. In fact, let's get some calls on

866
00:48:58.639 --> 00:49:01.239
<v Speaker 1>if you want eight eight eight nine three four seven

867
00:49:01.280 --> 00:49:04.559
<v Speaker 1>eight seven four Are you down with a spare you

868
00:49:04.679 --> 00:49:06.800
<v Speaker 1>in case you need them, We'll be back hang on.

869
00:49:07.199 --> 00:49:12.480
<v Speaker 1>Very excited about that. Let's head to Fayetteville. Though, Hey, member, member,

870
00:49:13.119 --> 00:49:17.480
<v Speaker 1>little member, barry for you. Member, When I said Hey,

871
00:49:17.519 --> 00:49:19.880
<v Speaker 1>this COVID stuff where they just think that they can

872
00:49:19.920 --> 00:49:24.400
<v Speaker 1>go and you know, suspend basically constitutional rights and do

873
00:49:24.480 --> 00:49:27.360
<v Speaker 1>whatever they want under the guise of it's an emergency.

874
00:49:28.880 --> 00:49:31.320
<v Speaker 1>They're not going to stop here. And I'd say that

875
00:49:31.360 --> 00:49:35.079
<v Speaker 1>and people are like, no, well not you, not the listeners,

876
00:49:35.119 --> 00:49:38.280
<v Speaker 1>but like will either be pushback on the talk shows,

877
00:49:38.480 --> 00:49:40.159
<v Speaker 1>like no, it's just this is a this is a

878
00:49:40.280 --> 00:49:45.320
<v Speaker 1>very specific example, and we gotta you know, we gotta

879
00:49:45.360 --> 00:49:48.440
<v Speaker 1>do it. But it'll be fine other than that. Well,

880
00:49:49.760 --> 00:49:52.639
<v Speaker 1>I was right, So here we go. Fayetteville Mayor Mitch

881
00:49:52.760 --> 00:49:57.599
<v Speaker 1>Colvin plans to propose sweeping new laws to eradicate a

882
00:49:57.639 --> 00:49:59.599
<v Speaker 1>recent spike in gun violence.

883
00:50:00.800 --> 00:50:01.039
<v Speaker 2>Ah.

884
00:50:01.159 --> 00:50:04.639
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I don't know why they keep reelecting this, dude.

885
00:50:04.679 --> 00:50:07.960
<v Speaker 1>Colvin said it's possible he could declare a public safety

886
00:50:08.079 --> 00:50:13.920
<v Speaker 1>state of emergency, and again, I do not understand why

887
00:50:14.000 --> 00:50:19.920
<v Speaker 1>during these state of emergencies there is not more defined laws.

888
00:50:19.960 --> 00:50:21.840
<v Speaker 1>You know, keep in mind that if the governor of

889
00:50:21.880 --> 00:50:26.079
<v Speaker 1>North Carolina declares a state of emergency, it literally can

890
00:50:26.199 --> 00:50:30.320
<v Speaker 1>impact your Second Amendment rights, and there are different things.

891
00:50:30.440 --> 00:50:32.559
<v Speaker 1>Colvin wants to do it because he's got a public

892
00:50:32.599 --> 00:50:37.440
<v Speaker 1>safety issue. Now, I don't disagree that Fadeville has some issues.

893
00:50:38.519 --> 00:50:42.559
<v Speaker 1>There's you know, there is weekly a story that clearly,

894
00:50:42.960 --> 00:50:46.920
<v Speaker 1>clearly is a problem, and I want Colvin to address it.

895
00:50:46.960 --> 00:50:53.039
<v Speaker 1>He's obviously the mayor there. But have we tried, I

896
00:50:53.079 --> 00:50:57.559
<v Speaker 1>don't know, throwing the book at criminals. Have we made

897
00:50:57.639 --> 00:51:05.119
<v Speaker 1>it so problematic if you wish to participate in stuff

898
00:51:05.199 --> 00:51:07.280
<v Speaker 1>like this that you wouldn't think it. Do we have

899
00:51:07.320 --> 00:51:11.960
<v Speaker 1>a deterrence or do we continue to soft you know,

900
00:51:12.079 --> 00:51:15.440
<v Speaker 1>deal with criminals in a soft way. And the answer

901
00:51:15.559 --> 00:51:18.760
<v Speaker 1>is yeah, that's kind of how Fayetteville goes. They got

902
00:51:18.760 --> 00:51:21.840
<v Speaker 1>a problem. I want them to address it for all

903
00:51:21.880 --> 00:51:25.880
<v Speaker 1>of our listeners in Fayetteville. You know, I want you

904
00:51:25.920 --> 00:51:29.440
<v Speaker 1>guys to be safe down there. Appreciate you listening. Sorry,

905
00:51:29.480 --> 00:51:32.599
<v Speaker 1>occasionally the signal gets if you're on South Fayetteville gets

906
00:51:33.000 --> 00:51:35.199
<v Speaker 1>turned over by a Spanish station. Nothing I can do.

907
00:51:35.239 --> 00:51:39.440
<v Speaker 1>It's not technically our market. But that being said, when

908
00:51:39.480 --> 00:51:44.079
<v Speaker 1>he starts talking about things he wants to do, this

909
00:51:44.119 --> 00:51:47.159
<v Speaker 1>is the route he's going because the city councils basically said,

910
00:51:47.320 --> 00:51:51.519
<v Speaker 1>eh h, we're not down with all of this, so

911
00:51:51.840 --> 00:51:55.840
<v Speaker 1>he wants to go at it alone. All right, here's

912
00:51:56.039 --> 00:51:58.079
<v Speaker 1>here's what he said. He said me and other city

913
00:51:58.119 --> 00:52:01.039
<v Speaker 1>council members are tired of this. There are tools available

914
00:52:01.119 --> 00:52:03.840
<v Speaker 1>to the mayor and states of emergency and public safety

915
00:52:03.960 --> 00:52:07.360
<v Speaker 1>is one. I used it as a tool during COVID.

916
00:52:07.760 --> 00:52:12.519
<v Speaker 1>It's not something I take lightly. Well, again, it is

917
00:52:12.639 --> 00:52:15.840
<v Speaker 1>only retrospectively that we're finding out a lot of this

918
00:52:15.920 --> 00:52:20.159
<v Speaker 1>COVID stuff where courts are actually adjudicating it. And frankly,

919
00:52:20.320 --> 00:52:23.679
<v Speaker 1>this was one of the big things with the courts

920
00:52:24.519 --> 00:52:28.159
<v Speaker 1>that was that really has got us where we are today,

921
00:52:28.440 --> 00:52:32.360
<v Speaker 1>because you remember, like Governor Cooper with a speedway and

922
00:52:32.400 --> 00:52:35.280
<v Speaker 1>all this stuff. People showing up for religious service, sitting

923
00:52:35.400 --> 00:52:38.800
<v Speaker 1>in their car in the parking lot, not even getting

924
00:52:38.800 --> 00:52:42.440
<v Speaker 1>out of the car. You had judges who just basically

925
00:52:42.440 --> 00:52:47.239
<v Speaker 1>either didn't take the case, which was wild, or said

926
00:52:47.280 --> 00:52:49.679
<v Speaker 1>it's well, it's a state of emergency. This is how

927
00:52:49.719 --> 00:52:52.559
<v Speaker 1>you chip away at the ability to do stuff because

928
00:52:53.079 --> 00:52:56.639
<v Speaker 1>most of this will fall on people who aren't a problem.

929
00:52:57.360 --> 00:52:59.880
<v Speaker 1>All right, So the mayor calling for a citywide nine

930
00:53:00.159 --> 00:53:04.079
<v Speaker 1>pm curfew for unattended miners, I don't know that that's

931
00:53:04.119 --> 00:53:08.679
<v Speaker 1>a constitutional violation. Other cities have done that. In fact,

932
00:53:08.800 --> 00:53:12.719
<v Speaker 1>a lot of cities have a standing minor curfew. I

933
00:53:12.760 --> 00:53:15.719
<v Speaker 1>want to say that we had a curfew in the

934
00:53:15.920 --> 00:53:19.239
<v Speaker 1>literally in Wyoming of ten o'clock. No, no, no, it

935
00:53:19.320 --> 00:53:22.559
<v Speaker 1>was for that's what it was. It was for if

936
00:53:22.599 --> 00:53:24.920
<v Speaker 1>you had a driver's license that was known as a

937
00:53:24.960 --> 00:53:28.760
<v Speaker 1>hardship license, you couldn't drive after ten, and I had one.

938
00:53:29.000 --> 00:53:32.159
<v Speaker 1>You get those when you're fourteen and fifteen, but you

939
00:53:32.199 --> 00:53:35.039
<v Speaker 1>know those were it was very specific there he's talking

940
00:53:35.079 --> 00:53:39.079
<v Speaker 1>about a straight out curfew. Well seven do seventeen year

941
00:53:39.079 --> 00:53:42.280
<v Speaker 1>olds not work late on Friday or Saturday? I don't

942
00:53:42.280 --> 00:53:45.119
<v Speaker 1>know exactly what that would look like. But here's where

943
00:53:45.119 --> 00:53:50.800
<v Speaker 1>we start getting problematic. He also wants to restrict large gatherings.

944
00:53:50.880 --> 00:53:54.559
<v Speaker 1>Now we're getting into the COVID stuff, and yes, do

945
00:53:54.639 --> 00:53:57.639
<v Speaker 1>you have these gatherings where people are out of control

946
00:53:57.800 --> 00:53:59.800
<v Speaker 1>some of these street race things I can't remember with

947
00:53:59.840 --> 00:54:02.679
<v Speaker 1>a all of them where you see the videos of

948
00:54:02.719 --> 00:54:06.079
<v Speaker 1>these things, and Fayetteville deals with it. But who the

949
00:54:06.119 --> 00:54:10.320
<v Speaker 1>hell are you to restrict large gatherings? This is this

950
00:54:10.360 --> 00:54:13.239
<v Speaker 1>isn't just for kids. If you live in Fayetteville and

951
00:54:13.280 --> 00:54:15.440
<v Speaker 1>you want to have a large gathering at your house

952
00:54:15.480 --> 00:54:18.079
<v Speaker 1>that goes after you know, in this case, I don't

953
00:54:18.079 --> 00:54:20.599
<v Speaker 1>even know if there's a time on it. Who the

954
00:54:20.599 --> 00:54:22.519
<v Speaker 1>hell is the mayor to tell you can't do it?

955
00:54:22.639 --> 00:54:25.440
<v Speaker 1>If you're not breaking the law right now, If you're

956
00:54:25.480 --> 00:54:27.400
<v Speaker 1>if you guys are breaking the law, then I am

957
00:54:27.519 --> 00:54:31.800
<v Speaker 1>all for police to go and crack down on you.

958
00:54:31.800 --> 00:54:34.119
<v Speaker 1>You know, you're you're there and there's a bunch of

959
00:54:34.119 --> 00:54:37.639
<v Speaker 1>miners drinking or you know, people are shooting guns, which

960
00:54:37.679 --> 00:54:42.360
<v Speaker 1>is literally a thing that happened the other day. Fine,

961
00:54:42.480 --> 00:54:44.199
<v Speaker 1>the police should go in there, and that's who you

962
00:54:44.199 --> 00:54:47.159
<v Speaker 1>should deal with. But if you're you know, if you're

963
00:54:47.199 --> 00:54:49.320
<v Speaker 1>some guy who lives off base and you want to

964
00:54:49.320 --> 00:54:52.599
<v Speaker 1>have a party and you're not disturbing anybody, who the

965
00:54:52.639 --> 00:54:55.880
<v Speaker 1>hell is the mayor to tell you can't? This is

966
00:54:55.960 --> 00:54:59.760
<v Speaker 1>this is COVID stuff also, and this is interesting a

967
00:55:00.159 --> 00:55:02.719
<v Speaker 1>verse of the mass thing, he wants to ban on mass,

968
00:55:05.239 --> 00:55:06.920
<v Speaker 1>which is a thing in a lot of cities, or

969
00:55:06.920 --> 00:55:08.199
<v Speaker 1>at least used to be a thing. Used to be

970
00:55:08.239 --> 00:55:12.519
<v Speaker 1>a thing in North Carolina. They suspended it during COVID

971
00:55:13.760 --> 00:55:17.519
<v Speaker 1>open carry weapons. Now we're getting into the second Amendment.

972
00:55:19.960 --> 00:55:22.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that he can just ban that because

973
00:55:22.800 --> 00:55:27.119
<v Speaker 1>he quote declares an emergency. It is legal to open

974
00:55:27.239 --> 00:55:31.880
<v Speaker 1>carry a weapon backpacks at city owned property or city

975
00:55:31.920 --> 00:55:35.199
<v Speaker 1>sponsored events. No, if it's under the guise of safety

976
00:55:35.239 --> 00:55:38.360
<v Speaker 1>and you're in and inside an actual thing, how did

977
00:55:38.400 --> 00:55:41.400
<v Speaker 1>a bird just slam into the window again? Ross, Why

978
00:55:41.400 --> 00:55:43.920
<v Speaker 1>are the birds all trying to suicide themselves this week?

979
00:55:45.280 --> 00:55:50.400
<v Speaker 1>Geez man, Sorry, that is so distracting. Maybe the birds

980
00:55:50.440 --> 00:55:54.079
<v Speaker 1>are supporters of the mayor of Fayetteville. I don't know,

981
00:55:54.360 --> 00:55:57.440
<v Speaker 1>all right, So ban on mass open carry weapons backpacks

982
00:55:57.440 --> 00:56:00.840
<v Speaker 1>at city owned property or city sponsored events. I understand

983
00:56:00.880 --> 00:56:02.800
<v Speaker 1>when you're going into an arena and you want to

984
00:56:02.800 --> 00:56:05.840
<v Speaker 1>have those see through backpacks. I got it, because you're

985
00:56:06.119 --> 00:56:11.960
<v Speaker 1>checking for contraband liquor firearms in certain places where you're

986
00:56:11.960 --> 00:56:15.039
<v Speaker 1>not allowed to carry them, which we can slice and

987
00:56:15.119 --> 00:56:17.519
<v Speaker 1>dice whether you agree or disagree. But that's at least

988
00:56:17.559 --> 00:56:20.119
<v Speaker 1>pretty standard. But what do you mean city owned property?

989
00:56:20.360 --> 00:56:22.079
<v Speaker 1>I can't have a backpack if I go to a

990
00:56:22.119 --> 00:56:27.119
<v Speaker 1>park in Fayetteville. Can I have a picnic basket? That's

991
00:56:27.199 --> 00:56:34.239
<v Speaker 1>essentially the same thing, Like this is lunacy. Man, let's

992
00:56:34.280 --> 00:56:37.280
<v Speaker 1>see medical exemptions allowed. I guess that's on the mass thing.

993
00:56:38.320 --> 00:56:43.880
<v Speaker 1>Once put more cameras, license plate readers, facial recognition, street takeover,

994
00:56:44.000 --> 00:56:47.119
<v Speaker 1>thank you. I couldn't remember what it's called. Like how

995
00:56:47.199 --> 00:56:50.440
<v Speaker 1>that stuff happens is beyond me, although I do like

996
00:56:50.559 --> 00:56:53.079
<v Speaker 1>it where one car's spinning cookies in the middle and

997
00:56:53.079 --> 00:56:55.599
<v Speaker 1>then some idiot goes out there and just gets Do

998
00:56:55.639 --> 00:56:57.239
<v Speaker 1>you see the chick ross You see the video of

999
00:56:57.280 --> 00:56:58.440
<v Speaker 1>the chick who went out in the middle of one

1000
00:56:58.480 --> 00:57:00.320
<v Speaker 1>of those street things and she got hit by the

1001
00:57:00.320 --> 00:57:04.639
<v Speaker 1>carner wig went flying. Oh dude, that video is I

1002
00:57:04.679 --> 00:57:09.480
<v Speaker 1>watched it like twenty times. M yeah, Like so some

1003
00:57:09.519 --> 00:57:12.280
<v Speaker 1>of this stuff makes sense, but all of this is

1004
00:57:12.400 --> 00:57:19.719
<v Speaker 1>for not if when you capture somebody clearly violating the law,

1005
00:57:19.840 --> 00:57:22.880
<v Speaker 1>especially when they're violating the law with a gun, right

1006
00:57:22.920 --> 00:57:27.000
<v Speaker 1>they go out there, they're brandishing, they're menacing, they're firing

1007
00:57:27.039 --> 00:57:29.880
<v Speaker 1>it off in the air, you can't do that stuff.

1008
00:57:30.920 --> 00:57:33.760
<v Speaker 1>Or or if they're just carrying it during the commission

1009
00:57:33.760 --> 00:57:36.760
<v Speaker 1>of a crime, or if they're an intoxicated state, you know,

1010
00:57:36.800 --> 00:57:40.880
<v Speaker 1>any of the things that responsible gun owners understand, you

1011
00:57:41.000 --> 00:57:44.800
<v Speaker 1>can't do. Because they you know, literally took a concealed

1012
00:57:44.800 --> 00:57:50.119
<v Speaker 1>carry class and they get this, you got to prosecute them.

1013
00:57:50.519 --> 00:57:53.320
<v Speaker 1>You can't sit there and go, oh, he's seventeen, it's

1014
00:57:53.360 --> 00:57:57.039
<v Speaker 1>only his third offense. He didn't know. No, I'm sorry,

1015
00:57:57.039 --> 00:58:00.960
<v Speaker 1>there has to be consequences. You have to make people

1016
00:58:01.320 --> 00:58:06.199
<v Speaker 1>who commit criminal acts within your city think about You

1017
00:58:06.280 --> 00:58:08.800
<v Speaker 1>have to make them think about, you know, it's probably

1018
00:58:08.840 --> 00:58:12.199
<v Speaker 1>not worth my time to do this. And I understand

1019
00:58:12.239 --> 00:58:15.159
<v Speaker 1>it's not as cut and dry in that as that

1020
00:58:15.400 --> 00:58:18.559
<v Speaker 1>you have people, you know, there's gang issues all of that.

1021
00:58:18.679 --> 00:58:22.480
<v Speaker 1>People live in rough neighborhoods, and I get that, but

1022
00:58:22.519 --> 00:58:25.840
<v Speaker 1>that's not who we're talking about. We're talking about people

1023
00:58:26.320 --> 00:58:31.079
<v Speaker 1>who do it for the purpose of either committing criminal acts,

1024
00:58:32.760 --> 00:58:37.440
<v Speaker 1>showing out doing illegal things in possession of a firearm.

1025
00:58:37.679 --> 00:58:40.760
<v Speaker 1>And you have to delineate what is not going to

1026
00:58:40.760 --> 00:58:44.440
<v Speaker 1>be acceptable, and when people cross it, you have to

1027
00:58:45.039 --> 00:58:48.440
<v Speaker 1>not give them deals or prayer for judgment or whatever

1028
00:58:48.480 --> 00:58:51.840
<v Speaker 1>you want to call it. But instead he wants to

1029
00:58:51.840 --> 00:58:53.679
<v Speaker 1>make it so you can't take a backpack to a

1030
00:58:53.760 --> 00:59:01.039
<v Speaker 1>park in Fayetteville with your family. Typical overreaction. Yeah, so

1031
00:59:01.119 --> 00:59:03.639
<v Speaker 1>here we go. This comes after two shootings near Festival

1032
00:59:03.679 --> 00:59:07.320
<v Speaker 1>Park for the Dogwood Festival. They had to shut that

1033
00:59:07.360 --> 00:59:12.159
<v Speaker 1>thing down early. That's problematic. They had a month ago

1034
00:59:12.320 --> 00:59:14.400
<v Speaker 1>the carnival. I don't know what the carnival was called,

1035
00:59:14.400 --> 00:59:17.480
<v Speaker 1>but they had a shooting there like everyone there, and

1036
00:59:17.760 --> 00:59:21.280
<v Speaker 1>I think a kid was injured in that, like an

1037
00:59:21.320 --> 00:59:25.760
<v Speaker 1>eleven or twelve year old. Like, this is simple. If

1038
00:59:25.800 --> 00:59:28.079
<v Speaker 1>you once you know who did that, you make it

1039
00:59:28.119 --> 00:59:30.599
<v Speaker 1>so they are not on the street. If you're going

1040
00:59:30.639 --> 00:59:32.719
<v Speaker 1>to go to a carnival and you're going to fire

1041
00:59:32.880 --> 00:59:36.159
<v Speaker 1>indiscriminately and hit a twelve year old, you have no

1042
00:59:36.320 --> 00:59:40.599
<v Speaker 1>place in polite society. Not now, maybe five to ten

1043
00:59:40.679 --> 00:59:44.679
<v Speaker 1>years from now, probably more since you actually hit somebody.

1044
00:59:45.400 --> 00:59:50.960
<v Speaker 1>But the utilization of COVID like powers under a declaration

1045
00:59:51.039 --> 00:59:54.880
<v Speaker 1>of emergency. This is the slippery slope I warned about.

1046
00:59:55.079 --> 00:59:57.639
<v Speaker 1>And here we be. All right, let's get into some

1047
00:59:57.679 --> 01:00:01.559
<v Speaker 1>slippery slope weather where the humidity is going up and

1048
01:00:01.639 --> 01:00:02.239
<v Speaker 1>I don't.

1049
01:00:02.079 --> 01:00:07.599
<v Speaker 3>Like it, so yeah, a little bit, just sorry.

1050
01:00:07.320 --> 01:00:10.199
<v Speaker 1>Turn that knob down. I don't want to tell you

1051
01:00:10.280 --> 01:00:14.639
<v Speaker 1>how to do your job. Just on the humidity. And yeah, no, man,

1052
01:00:14.679 --> 01:00:17.800
<v Speaker 1>because like low eighties low humidity is fantastic.

1053
01:00:18.719 --> 01:00:21.559
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, low in mid eighties with higher humidity not so nice.

1054
01:00:21.599 --> 01:00:24.239
<v Speaker 5>It certainly feels different, right Nope.

1055
01:00:24.039 --> 01:00:25.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no, uh no.

1056
01:00:26.039 --> 01:00:29.599
<v Speaker 5>Unfortunately not going away today, sun some clouds and again

1057
01:00:29.760 --> 01:00:32.519
<v Speaker 5>as we had yesterday, the better chance for showers, thunder showers,

1058
01:00:32.559 --> 01:00:35.320
<v Speaker 5>try it and west some spots yesterday did get over

1059
01:00:35.360 --> 01:00:38.280
<v Speaker 5>an inch of rainfall, some not so much to none,

1060
01:00:38.719 --> 01:00:40.840
<v Speaker 5>sun and clouds otherwise. So another warm, kind of humid

1061
01:00:40.920 --> 01:00:43.440
<v Speaker 5>day today, and then tomorrow we'll have a better chance

1062
01:00:43.480 --> 01:00:46.000
<v Speaker 5>for everybody again at least a shower thunder shower threat

1063
01:00:46.360 --> 01:00:49.639
<v Speaker 5>in the afternoon, mid upper eighties again and still don't

1064
01:00:49.679 --> 01:00:52.639
<v Speaker 5>dropping the humidity. Same thing for Saturday, middle eighties, a

1065
01:00:52.679 --> 01:00:55.760
<v Speaker 5>few showers thunder showers scattered around, best chance in the afternoon.

1066
01:00:55.800 --> 01:00:59.679
<v Speaker 5>Sunday also a little wet weather, so we're into better

1067
01:00:59.760 --> 01:01:05.519
<v Speaker 5>chance the rain for the upcoming weekend. Unfortunately, probably there

1068
01:01:05.599 --> 01:01:08.079
<v Speaker 5>will be hours of dry weather, but it's not gonna

1069
01:01:08.079 --> 01:01:11.840
<v Speaker 5>be bright and sunny for multiple hours. And now, if

1070
01:01:11.840 --> 01:01:14.079
<v Speaker 5>you are a Kentucky Derby fan, it looked earlier in

1071
01:01:14.119 --> 01:01:15.679
<v Speaker 5>the weekend maybe it was gonna be okay. Now it

1072
01:01:15.679 --> 01:01:17.360
<v Speaker 5>looks like there's gonna be some wet weather for the

1073
01:01:17.360 --> 01:01:21.840
<v Speaker 5>Derby on Saturday afternoon evening. Also, so everybody kind of

1074
01:01:21.880 --> 01:01:23.920
<v Speaker 5>getting in the act in the southeastern US of the

1075
01:01:23.960 --> 01:01:26.960
<v Speaker 5>showers thunder showers. Early next week looks a little damp too,

1076
01:01:27.000 --> 01:01:30.159
<v Speaker 5>with temperatures back into the seventies, So by Sunday we're

1077
01:01:30.239 --> 01:01:32.320
<v Speaker 5>low to mid seventy. Same thing for Monday and Tuesday

1078
01:01:32.360 --> 01:01:37.239
<v Speaker 5>with a threat for showers. So casey, certainly more chances

1079
01:01:37.280 --> 01:01:39.639
<v Speaker 5>of rain here the next several days. Better chances coming

1080
01:01:39.960 --> 01:01:41.880
<v Speaker 5>as we get into tomorrow and especially the weekend.

1081
01:01:41.920 --> 01:01:45.360
<v Speaker 1>A little bit lower chances early next week. Okay, well,

1082
01:01:45.880 --> 01:01:48.519
<v Speaker 1>so do you bet on the derby? I do not.

1083
01:01:49.079 --> 01:01:49.480
<v Speaker 2>I do not.

1084
01:01:49.760 --> 01:01:52.960
<v Speaker 5>I I'm gonna take Toby Keith's horse just because it's

1085
01:01:53.000 --> 01:01:59.480
<v Speaker 5>Toby Keith. I think it was thirty to one. Yeah right,

1086
01:02:00.039 --> 01:02:02.719
<v Speaker 5>see one of his horses in the race. Yeah, so

1087
01:02:02.760 --> 01:02:04.920
<v Speaker 5>I'm gonna take that as a family pet.

1088
01:02:05.599 --> 01:02:08.199
<v Speaker 1>It might it could be called beer for my horses.

1089
01:02:08.239 --> 01:02:10.639
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, man, that's what I was asking. So look

1090
01:02:10.719 --> 01:02:15.320
<v Speaker 1>exactly in the reference. All right. I don't miss many

1091
01:02:15.320 --> 01:02:18.079
<v Speaker 1>country music references. No, no, no, I got you. So

1092
01:02:18.360 --> 01:02:20.280
<v Speaker 1>it'd be great if you're stand there by Willie Man

1093
01:02:20.400 --> 01:02:22.719
<v Speaker 1>just rooting it on. So all right, thank you much?

1094
01:02:22.800 --> 01:02:24.400
<v Speaker 1>Do I appreciate? All right? All right, there you go,

1095
01:02:24.480 --> 01:02:27.800
<v Speaker 1>raced agent country music enthusiast, all right, seven forty eight,

1096
01:02:27.840 --> 01:02:30.320
<v Speaker 1>Hang on for one the full visual, and you're gonna

1097
01:02:30.320 --> 01:02:32.599
<v Speaker 1>want it for this because I don't know what the

1098
01:02:32.639 --> 01:02:37.280
<v Speaker 1>hell's going on. So picture a bunch of Starbucks employees,

1099
01:02:37.360 --> 01:02:41.679
<v Speaker 1>but at the wokest Starbucks you could find, all right,

1100
01:02:41.719 --> 01:02:45.599
<v Speaker 1>that's very important. Go with the wokest Starbucks you can find.

1101
01:02:46.360 --> 01:02:49.840
<v Speaker 1>And I don't know if it's a union shop or

1102
01:02:49.840 --> 01:02:52.800
<v Speaker 1>what the hell's going on, but they're all standing around

1103
01:02:52.920 --> 01:02:56.239
<v Speaker 1>and they're very upset, and they're of course recording this,

1104
01:02:56.519 --> 01:03:00.159
<v Speaker 1>and they're also wearing and I don't I'm assuming its

1105
01:03:00.199 --> 01:03:03.320
<v Speaker 1>some fu to the dress code of some sort, because

1106
01:03:03.320 --> 01:03:06.440
<v Speaker 1>that's what their big gripe is, dress code, but also

1107
01:03:06.559 --> 01:03:10.199
<v Speaker 1>staffing issues, which we'll we'll talk about. And so they're

1108
01:03:10.199 --> 01:03:14.320
<v Speaker 1>wearing those little party hats and they look like a unicorn,

1109
01:03:14.440 --> 01:03:19.119
<v Speaker 1>including the one dude. Is it a woman or a

1110
01:03:19.199 --> 01:03:23.880
<v Speaker 1>dude ros I'm I'm unclear. The guy who's talking at

1111
01:03:23.920 --> 01:03:25.880
<v Speaker 1>the beginning. Is it a guy or a gal? I

1112
01:03:25.880 --> 01:03:27.280
<v Speaker 1>don't know what that is?

1113
01:03:27.320 --> 01:03:29.320
<v Speaker 3>A woman with a beard, It is the bearded lady.

1114
01:03:30.519 --> 01:03:33.320
<v Speaker 1>That is a woman, yes, with a tiny dunce cap on,

1115
01:03:33.519 --> 01:03:37.920
<v Speaker 1>which is perfect. It's a dunicorn, like a duo unicorn

1116
01:03:38.119 --> 01:03:41.199
<v Speaker 1>or a dunce unicorn. I call it a dunicorn. There's

1117
01:03:41.239 --> 01:03:42.840
<v Speaker 1>your new word for the day, all right. So the

1118
01:03:42.920 --> 01:03:47.559
<v Speaker 1>dunicorn is starting this meeting and they're upset because Starbucks

1119
01:03:47.559 --> 01:03:52.800
<v Speaker 1>apparently has a dress code. Who to thunk it? Right? Craziness?

1120
01:03:52.840 --> 01:03:56.599
<v Speaker 7>All right, So check this outs loves to do is

1121
01:03:56.639 --> 01:04:00.639
<v Speaker 7>allow hardner to beat themselves or whatever. Not are that

1122
01:04:00.679 --> 01:04:02.000
<v Speaker 7>they want to push.

1123
01:04:02.039 --> 01:04:04.719
<v Speaker 1>And that's not a sad beard. That's like a full beard.

1124
01:04:05.159 --> 01:04:07.039
<v Speaker 1>Like if that would I'd be like, Wow, that person

1125
01:04:07.039 --> 01:04:09.440
<v Speaker 1>can grow a beard. Not everyone can.

1126
01:04:09.679 --> 01:04:12.239
<v Speaker 7>I don't understand how that can good state of.

1127
01:04:12.119 --> 01:04:14.039
<v Speaker 5>Letting us express ourselves.

1128
01:04:14.199 --> 01:04:17.719
<v Speaker 7>I don't understand how that's supposed to and buy each craft.

1129
01:04:17.480 --> 01:04:21.760
<v Speaker 1>And you're a woman with a beard. Some would say

1130
01:04:21.760 --> 01:04:23.039
<v Speaker 1>that's expressing yourself.

1131
01:04:24.280 --> 01:04:27.199
<v Speaker 7>Some would sure and bring us back to that happy

1132
01:04:27.360 --> 01:04:31.480
<v Speaker 7>house kind of vibe. That's for because for some reason,

1133
01:04:31.519 --> 01:04:34.360
<v Speaker 7>you all can't understand how to schedule more people in

1134
01:04:34.400 --> 01:04:36.519
<v Speaker 7>his own You can't understand.

1135
01:04:38.519 --> 01:04:41.840
<v Speaker 1>Wait to say, I thought we didn't applaud we snapped, right.

1136
01:04:42.000 --> 01:04:43.320
<v Speaker 1>Wasn't that a thing a few years ago?

1137
01:04:43.360 --> 01:04:44.639
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if that's a thing anymore.

1138
01:04:45.119 --> 01:04:47.880
<v Speaker 1>Oh okay, all right, because that was the thing for

1139
01:04:47.920 --> 01:04:48.719
<v Speaker 1>about five minutes.

1140
01:04:49.000 --> 01:04:52.800
<v Speaker 7>I understand that it's misappropriate to tell someone that they

1141
01:04:52.840 --> 01:04:55.039
<v Speaker 7>are okay, that they should be doing the work of

1142
01:04:55.079 --> 01:04:57.880
<v Speaker 7>four people. That's just respectful.

1143
01:05:01.159 --> 01:05:03.320
<v Speaker 1>Wow, it's crazy. Only happened to start.

1144
01:05:06.119 --> 01:05:06.800
<v Speaker 2>I need you.

1145
01:05:07.079 --> 01:05:10.719
<v Speaker 1>I can't, I can't, right, Okay, so you're inting asked, Well,

1146
01:05:10.760 --> 01:05:12.239
<v Speaker 1>that doesn't happen anywhere else.

1147
01:05:12.920 --> 01:05:15.960
<v Speaker 3>Personally, I would like to point out that you know this,

1148
01:05:16.199 --> 01:05:18.599
<v Speaker 3>like every other industry. You know this, this job that

1149
01:05:18.679 --> 01:05:21.599
<v Speaker 3>I do was the job of four people at one point.

1150
01:05:21.800 --> 01:05:25.599
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, when we launched the show, we had two producers.

1151
01:05:26.280 --> 01:05:29.719
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you had, you had, you had three other people.

1152
01:05:30.320 --> 01:05:32.360
<v Speaker 1>We had three other people. We had two, we had

1153
01:05:32.400 --> 01:05:37.000
<v Speaker 1>two specifically, you're correct, two people doing that. Yeah, so uh,

1154
01:05:37.119 --> 01:05:39.599
<v Speaker 1>you should get a dunce cap and then make it.

1155
01:05:39.599 --> 01:05:41.840
<v Speaker 3>But I mean the argument of you know, I can't

1156
01:05:41.880 --> 01:05:43.760
<v Speaker 3>be myself because I have to do a dress code

1157
01:05:43.800 --> 01:05:45.519
<v Speaker 3>to wear a vest or a pair of pants or whatever.

1158
01:05:45.559 --> 01:05:48.119
<v Speaker 3>We're like, they're obviously okay with you being you because

1159
01:05:48.119 --> 01:05:48.800
<v Speaker 3>they hired you.

1160
01:05:49.199 --> 01:05:53.800
<v Speaker 1>Of course, Ray Stagic with Weather, Jeff Bellinger with Business News.

1161
01:05:53.800 --> 01:05:56.719
<v Speaker 1>But before we chat with them, we chat with Stephen

1162
01:05:56.800 --> 01:06:01.159
<v Speaker 1>Kent to talk all things entertainment and even some weird,

1163
01:06:01.159 --> 01:06:03.679
<v Speaker 1>creepy science stuff. Good morning, sir, how you doing.

1164
01:06:04.840 --> 01:06:07.400
<v Speaker 2>We're doing well. I've got my coffee here. I'm also

1165
01:06:07.559 --> 01:06:10.880
<v Speaker 2>sniffing some ridonium jet fuel just to wake up a

1166
01:06:10.920 --> 01:06:14.360
<v Speaker 2>little bit. This morning. Star Wars taught me how I don't.

1167
01:06:14.519 --> 01:06:17.199
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Ross has been sniffing glue this week, so.

1168
01:06:17.960 --> 01:06:20.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he has been sniffing glue since he was four.

1169
01:06:20.760 --> 01:06:23.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. They're doing some construction around the studio and it's

1170
01:06:23.480 --> 01:06:27.079
<v Speaker 1>apparently much stronger over in his studio than other places.

1171
01:06:27.159 --> 01:06:29.719
<v Speaker 1>So good for him. I think if you're gonna, if

1172
01:06:29.760 --> 01:06:31.519
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna huff something, you want to go for the

1173
01:06:31.519 --> 01:06:33.760
<v Speaker 1>gold spray paint so you can have the epic mug

1174
01:06:33.760 --> 01:06:36.079
<v Speaker 1>shot like that one. Dude, I'm sure you.

1175
01:06:36.360 --> 01:06:38.559
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I'm gonna I'm gonna have to look that up.

1176
01:06:39.000 --> 01:06:43.119
<v Speaker 1>You've never seen gold sparkle, gold spray paint, huffer. Dude

1177
01:06:43.159 --> 01:06:46.199
<v Speaker 1>where his mug shot, his whole face is just no,

1178
01:06:48.159 --> 01:06:49.039
<v Speaker 1>this is you is.

1179
01:06:49.039 --> 01:06:51.960
<v Speaker 2>New to me, but I've I have seen it. Now

1180
01:06:52.159 --> 01:06:55.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm looking at it. This is this is fantastic. This

1181
01:06:56.000 --> 01:06:57.280
<v Speaker 2>person is an American hero.

1182
01:06:58.000 --> 01:07:01.039
<v Speaker 1>Well he's not. He's a little bit of an addict.

1183
01:07:01.039 --> 01:07:05.320
<v Speaker 1>But what are you gonna do? All right? So, boy,

1184
01:07:05.360 --> 01:07:06.800
<v Speaker 1>where do we even start? Well, you want to start

1185
01:07:06.800 --> 01:07:11.599
<v Speaker 1>in the Star Wars. Let's start there. So the the

1186
01:07:12.000 --> 01:07:16.280
<v Speaker 1>re release, well, let's talk. Let's talk about Star Wars fatigue, right,

1187
01:07:16.519 --> 01:07:21.760
<v Speaker 1>because that's something that really was the explanation, and it

1188
01:07:21.880 --> 01:07:25.199
<v Speaker 1>pivoted really the way that they were producing Star Wars content. Right.

1189
01:07:25.239 --> 01:07:28.599
<v Speaker 1>They claimed that the audience and the numbers weren't there

1190
01:07:28.719 --> 01:07:32.920
<v Speaker 1>because they were just creating too many things. People got

1191
01:07:32.960 --> 01:07:36.039
<v Speaker 1>burned out on it and as a result they had

1192
01:07:36.079 --> 01:07:38.320
<v Speaker 1>to dial it back. I always thought that was a

1193
01:07:38.320 --> 01:07:41.599
<v Speaker 1>little bit of an excuse, because maybe the quality counts.

1194
01:07:42.519 --> 01:07:46.199
<v Speaker 1>But was that laid to rest here last weekend when

1195
01:07:46.199 --> 01:07:49.360
<v Speaker 1>a re release of The Phantom Menace did twenty five

1196
01:07:49.519 --> 01:07:50.840
<v Speaker 1>million box office?

1197
01:07:52.599 --> 01:07:55.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah it is. It is certainly getting close to being

1198
01:07:55.639 --> 01:07:58.960
<v Speaker 2>being debunked. And just for clarity for the audience, Revenge

1199
01:07:59.000 --> 01:08:02.280
<v Speaker 2>of the Sith episode three has been back in theaters

1200
01:08:02.320 --> 01:08:03.079
<v Speaker 2>here this week.

1201
01:08:03.440 --> 01:08:04.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah no, and.

1202
01:08:04.679 --> 01:08:08.159
<v Speaker 2>It's just it's smashed a couple of barriers. It is

1203
01:08:08.239 --> 01:08:12.159
<v Speaker 2>the most watched and most successful re release of a

1204
01:08:12.239 --> 01:08:17.199
<v Speaker 2>film into theaters of all time. It is scratching, you know,

1205
01:08:17.279 --> 01:08:21.600
<v Speaker 2>the surface here of what's possible for Star Wars. And

1206
01:08:21.880 --> 01:08:23.640
<v Speaker 2>it is a reminder. I was in the theater just

1207
01:08:23.720 --> 01:08:27.399
<v Speaker 2>yesterday watching it and it's a full theater. People are laughing,

1208
01:08:27.520 --> 01:08:29.800
<v Speaker 2>having a good time, they're cheering at the beginning and

1209
01:08:29.840 --> 01:08:33.079
<v Speaker 2>the end of the movie. People love Star Wars. They've

1210
01:08:33.119 --> 01:08:37.000
<v Speaker 2>got their Star Wars shirt folded nicely in their dresser

1211
01:08:37.119 --> 01:08:40.000
<v Speaker 2>drawer at home. They've just been waiting to take it out.

1212
01:08:40.159 --> 01:08:43.399
<v Speaker 2>And Disney should feel quite embarrassed. If you work at

1213
01:08:43.439 --> 01:08:46.359
<v Speaker 2>Lucasfilm right now and you are struggling to keep Star

1214
01:08:46.399 --> 01:08:48.359
<v Speaker 2>Wars relevant, but all you have to do is put

1215
01:08:48.359 --> 01:08:50.720
<v Speaker 2>out the old stuff, it should make you feel a

1216
01:08:50.760 --> 01:08:51.600
<v Speaker 2>little ashamed.

1217
01:08:53.079 --> 01:08:55.439
<v Speaker 1>Did their mom put in the dresser folded for him

1218
01:08:55.520 --> 01:08:57.640
<v Speaker 1>after she did their lawn? Darn? Sorry, I had to

1219
01:08:57.720 --> 01:09:03.439
<v Speaker 1>take the cart. But here's here's why I think that's

1220
01:09:03.520 --> 01:09:06.960
<v Speaker 1>it's interesting because it is informative on the Star Wars

1221
01:09:07.079 --> 01:09:11.840
<v Speaker 1>fatigue excuse. The problem is is I know Hollywood, and

1222
01:09:11.920 --> 01:09:15.880
<v Speaker 1>now I'm wondering if rather than you know, doing new

1223
01:09:15.920 --> 01:09:19.720
<v Speaker 1>content and trying to actually do quality content like and

1224
01:09:19.920 --> 01:09:22.039
<v Speaker 1>or with You and Ross seem to be big fans

1225
01:09:22.039 --> 01:09:23.960
<v Speaker 1>of I always wait for the whole season to come out,

1226
01:09:24.000 --> 01:09:29.319
<v Speaker 1>then I'll watch it. But does it then just tell them, hey,

1227
01:09:29.319 --> 01:09:31.359
<v Speaker 1>what you need to do. They probably don't know the

1228
01:09:31.479 --> 01:09:34.279
<v Speaker 1>rights to any of this stuff, but like, why create

1229
01:09:34.359 --> 01:09:36.800
<v Speaker 1>new stuff when you can just reissue and not even

1230
01:09:36.840 --> 01:09:39.680
<v Speaker 1>have to reboot it, right, just show the old stuff

1231
01:09:39.680 --> 01:09:44.079
<v Speaker 1>in theaters. They love a lazy out that's profitable. Do

1232
01:09:44.119 --> 01:09:47.319
<v Speaker 1>you think that it unfortunately drives them to do more

1233
01:09:47.359 --> 01:09:50.840
<v Speaker 1>of it and then we get less original content rather

1234
01:09:50.880 --> 01:09:52.479
<v Speaker 1>than improving the original content.

1235
01:09:54.319 --> 01:09:56.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh that's a tough question. You know. I think it

1236
01:09:56.880 --> 01:10:00.720
<v Speaker 2>definitely does encourage them to consider as many rereleases as possible.

1237
01:10:00.920 --> 01:10:02.960
<v Speaker 2>You know, we are sort of in an era of

1238
01:10:03.119 --> 01:10:06.840
<v Speaker 2>incredible nostalgia, particularly for younger consumers who just want to

1239
01:10:06.880 --> 01:10:09.640
<v Speaker 2>go back and see early two thousands and nineties movies.

1240
01:10:10.000 --> 01:10:13.359
<v Speaker 2>So we are going to see plenty of that. But

1241
01:10:14.720 --> 01:10:17.359
<v Speaker 2>I just I kind of think here that the ultimate

1242
01:10:17.439 --> 01:10:20.920
<v Speaker 2>lesson is going to be that re releases are just

1243
01:10:20.960 --> 01:10:23.640
<v Speaker 2>sort of a safe weekend blockbuster. One thing that I

1244
01:10:23.680 --> 01:10:26.319
<v Speaker 2>wish that they would do is I wish that they

1245
01:10:26.359 --> 01:10:30.680
<v Speaker 2>would re release these movies with the deleted scenes cut

1246
01:10:30.760 --> 01:10:32.880
<v Speaker 2>back into the film. Like one of the things that

1247
01:10:32.920 --> 01:10:36.159
<v Speaker 2>they could have done that was fresh was include scenes

1248
01:10:36.199 --> 01:10:39.720
<v Speaker 2>that were deleted from episode three that feature Mom Mathma

1249
01:10:39.880 --> 01:10:42.920
<v Speaker 2>who now has an entire show on Disney Plus called

1250
01:10:43.000 --> 01:10:45.720
<v Speaker 2>and Or, and you would have been able to see

1251
01:10:45.760 --> 01:10:48.560
<v Speaker 2>sort of a fresh experience of that same old movie.

1252
01:10:48.640 --> 01:10:51.680
<v Speaker 2>You love that would be cool. I would recommend doing that.

1253
01:10:51.920 --> 01:10:53.359
<v Speaker 2>If Disney is listening.

1254
01:10:53.319 --> 01:10:57.119
<v Speaker 1>Okay, can I slippery slope that for you? Please do?

1255
01:10:57.680 --> 01:11:03.640
<v Speaker 1>All right? AI ability to create entirely new stuff, what's

1256
01:11:03.680 --> 01:11:06.159
<v Speaker 1>to stop them from just creating a scene and jamming

1257
01:11:06.239 --> 01:11:09.439
<v Speaker 1>it in there, Not one that was original, but one

1258
01:11:09.479 --> 01:11:13.119
<v Speaker 1>that basically looks like it was just to tweak or

1259
01:11:13.159 --> 01:11:16.159
<v Speaker 1>to twist. God help us if it's a PC thing,

1260
01:11:16.239 --> 01:11:20.680
<v Speaker 1>but like to mess or monkey with, which will be

1261
01:11:20.680 --> 01:11:23.640
<v Speaker 1>a nice transition here in a moment with the old movies.

1262
01:11:23.720 --> 01:11:25.159
<v Speaker 1>That's where I get a little nervous.

1263
01:11:26.079 --> 01:11:28.399
<v Speaker 2>You certainly could do that, but that seems like a

1264
01:11:28.399 --> 01:11:31.279
<v Speaker 2>stretch to me. You'd have to be criminally insane to

1265
01:11:31.319 --> 01:11:32.960
<v Speaker 2>try to do that and get away with it. With

1266
01:11:33.039 --> 01:11:33.880
<v Speaker 2>Star Wars fans.

1267
01:11:34.239 --> 01:11:38.359
<v Speaker 1>No, I'm sorry, I mean AI into a Star Wars movie.

1268
01:11:38.399 --> 01:11:40.920
<v Speaker 1>Do I have to bring up Lea at the end?

1269
01:11:41.960 --> 01:11:46.000
<v Speaker 2>No? No, no, no, no, no, that's different. We're talking about

1270
01:11:46.239 --> 01:11:50.600
<v Speaker 2>creating scenes whole cloth and putting them into a movie.

1271
01:11:50.720 --> 01:11:53.600
<v Speaker 2>I was raised on the Revenge of the Fifth DVD case.

1272
01:11:53.880 --> 01:11:56.800
<v Speaker 2>I know every deleted scene in that movie like the

1273
01:11:56.800 --> 01:11:58.640
<v Speaker 2>back of my hand. You can't create a new.

1274
01:11:58.479 --> 01:11:59.439
<v Speaker 8>One, all right.

1275
01:11:59.520 --> 01:12:03.920
<v Speaker 1>The fact that you said DVD, We're not We're not okay,

1276
01:12:04.840 --> 01:12:07.840
<v Speaker 1>and Ross had Ross did you have beta or laser disc?

1277
01:12:07.880 --> 01:12:09.680
<v Speaker 1>I can't remember what you said. You guys went beta

1278
01:12:09.760 --> 01:12:13.760
<v Speaker 1>right back in the day. Yeah, Ross had beta, like

1279
01:12:13.920 --> 01:12:17.119
<v Speaker 1>we're beta VHS kids, right, So this is this is

1280
01:12:17.239 --> 01:12:20.359
<v Speaker 1>a whole cloth different man. But no, you know, you

1281
01:12:20.439 --> 01:12:22.600
<v Speaker 1>understand what I'm saying, Like the way that they love to,

1282
01:12:23.079 --> 01:12:25.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, tweak movies cut stuff out where I got

1283
01:12:25.800 --> 01:12:29.039
<v Speaker 1>to watch a five minute explanation by college professor before

1284
01:12:29.079 --> 01:12:31.439
<v Speaker 1>I get to watch, you know, some old movie because

1285
01:12:31.439 --> 01:12:36.079
<v Speaker 1>it has problematic themes in it, like what's to stop

1286
01:12:36.159 --> 01:12:38.840
<v Speaker 1>him from doing that? I guess is is really my thought?

1287
01:12:38.880 --> 01:12:41.359
<v Speaker 1>And then just crapping all over because you know you

1288
01:12:41.439 --> 01:12:44.640
<v Speaker 1>will be the first to admit that when when they

1289
01:12:44.680 --> 01:12:48.520
<v Speaker 1>went back and added the Beast and tweaked the Star Wars,

1290
01:12:48.600 --> 01:12:51.359
<v Speaker 1>it created a divide among the fandom, right.

1291
01:12:52.720 --> 01:12:55.199
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, I mean this has been happening ever since

1292
01:12:55.279 --> 01:12:59.279
<v Speaker 2>George Lucas changed who shot first on Conor Grido. You know,

1293
01:12:59.319 --> 01:13:03.279
<v Speaker 2>Star Wars is constantly being revised based on the whims

1294
01:13:03.279 --> 01:13:05.880
<v Speaker 2>of its previous owner. Uh, and it and it's and

1295
01:13:05.920 --> 01:13:08.479
<v Speaker 2>it's can be pretty horrific. I mean, my favorite movie

1296
01:13:08.520 --> 01:13:11.159
<v Speaker 2>is Return of the Jedi, and I love the ending

1297
01:13:11.640 --> 01:13:14.239
<v Speaker 2>U and Darth Vader, you know, being redeemed and saving

1298
01:13:14.319 --> 01:13:17.560
<v Speaker 2>Luke and all that. And then George Lucas releases this

1299
01:13:17.600 --> 01:13:21.199
<v Speaker 2>thing back out onto Blu Ray or something in the

1300
01:13:21.399 --> 01:13:28.039
<v Speaker 2>two thousands and has Darth Vader scream no when he's

1301
01:13:28.079 --> 01:13:31.520
<v Speaker 2>saving Luke from the Emperor. It's, by the way, it's

1302
01:13:31.560 --> 01:13:34.880
<v Speaker 2>the most horrific thing I've ever seen in my life.

1303
01:13:34.880 --> 01:13:36.760
<v Speaker 2>And it actually ruins the movie for me.

1304
01:13:37.119 --> 01:13:39.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I got it at Costco and I was and

1305
01:13:39.159 --> 01:13:41.960
<v Speaker 1>then what was what was up there?

1306
01:13:42.840 --> 01:13:43.399
<v Speaker 3>So uh?

1307
01:13:43.720 --> 01:13:46.560
<v Speaker 1>And Or everything's still cooking along, okay for you guys

1308
01:13:46.560 --> 01:13:48.199
<v Speaker 1>over there, just real quick. And then I want to

1309
01:13:48.199 --> 01:13:49.279
<v Speaker 1>get over the Superman thing.

1310
01:13:49.399 --> 01:13:52.960
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, this is this is this is this is

1311
01:13:53.079 --> 01:13:56.840
<v Speaker 2>quality television here. So highly recommend people give and Or

1312
01:13:56.960 --> 01:13:59.399
<v Speaker 2>a spin. It's again, it's not gonna be when you

1313
01:13:59.439 --> 01:14:01.720
<v Speaker 2>sit down and and watch with your young children. It's

1314
01:14:01.720 --> 01:14:05.880
<v Speaker 2>definitely teens and up. But and Ors fantastic television.

1315
01:14:06.479 --> 01:14:06.840
<v Speaker 3>All right.

1316
01:14:06.920 --> 01:14:11.920
<v Speaker 1>So there is a rumor, and much like the rumor

1317
01:14:12.000 --> 01:14:14.800
<v Speaker 1>with the Narnia stuff, I go and I try to

1318
01:14:14.840 --> 01:14:17.680
<v Speaker 1>look at other places to either find a denial or

1319
01:14:17.720 --> 01:14:22.119
<v Speaker 1>other people reporting it. Your former I have the story

1320
01:14:22.159 --> 01:14:25.039
<v Speaker 1>here from an outlet you used to write for, but

1321
01:14:25.119 --> 01:14:29.119
<v Speaker 1>I've seen it multiple places now and I'm curious what

1322
01:14:29.159 --> 01:14:33.159
<v Speaker 1>you think. Here's the headline New Superman plot link leak

1323
01:14:33.359 --> 01:14:37.920
<v Speaker 1>alleges Lex Luthor uses monkeys to troll the hero online

1324
01:14:37.960 --> 01:14:43.279
<v Speaker 1>and sway public opinion against him. What the hell's going on?

1325
01:14:43.840 --> 01:14:47.560
<v Speaker 1>What are we doing here? So to describe this a

1326
01:14:47.560 --> 01:14:51.119
<v Speaker 1>little better, Luther secret weapon in the endeavor is an

1327
01:14:51.239 --> 01:14:55.920
<v Speaker 1>army of mutant monkeys. All right, tell me this isn't real.

1328
01:14:56.199 --> 01:14:59.560
<v Speaker 1>Please tell me this isn't real. But after the Batman Superman,

1329
01:15:00.119 --> 01:15:03.119
<v Speaker 1>my moms have the same name. I'll believe any rumor

1330
01:15:03.199 --> 01:15:04.479
<v Speaker 1>with what DC is doing.

1331
01:15:06.039 --> 01:15:10.119
<v Speaker 2>I think this sounds hilarious and I completely support it.

1332
01:15:10.560 --> 01:15:14.159
<v Speaker 2>You know, there are different ways to do Superman, and

1333
01:15:14.520 --> 01:15:18.319
<v Speaker 2>I am not the biggest Superman uh uh store of

1334
01:15:18.399 --> 01:15:20.079
<v Speaker 2>knowledge in the world, so you probably know a lot

1335
01:15:20.119 --> 01:15:22.279
<v Speaker 2>more than I do. But there are different ways to

1336
01:15:22.319 --> 01:15:25.239
<v Speaker 2>do this. There's the gritty way, there's the realism way,

1337
01:15:25.319 --> 01:15:28.159
<v Speaker 2>and then there's whatever gun James Gunn is doing with

1338
01:15:28.199 --> 01:15:31.000
<v Speaker 2>this movie where he's actually bringing back you know, the

1339
01:15:31.039 --> 01:15:32.920
<v Speaker 2>super Dog, you know, his his.

1340
01:15:33.039 --> 01:15:36.760
<v Speaker 8>Poodle or something that helps him fight crime, which you

1341
01:15:36.800 --> 01:15:40.039
<v Speaker 8>know has a backing in the comic books, but it

1342
01:15:40.079 --> 01:15:41.840
<v Speaker 8>was kind of cut out of a lot of Superman

1343
01:15:41.920 --> 01:15:44.520
<v Speaker 8>movies because it's a little goofy, and so they're not

1344
01:15:44.560 --> 01:15:46.159
<v Speaker 8>only doing that in this movie.

1345
01:15:46.159 --> 01:15:49.880
<v Speaker 2>He's also kind of engineer mutant monkeys to uh to

1346
01:15:50.199 --> 01:15:52.840
<v Speaker 2>I guess, send mean tweets at Superman.

1347
01:15:53.319 --> 01:15:55.119
<v Speaker 8>I think it sounds fun I'm for this.

1348
01:15:56.239 --> 01:15:58.800
<v Speaker 1>So but you you think it's a part, But the

1349
01:15:58.800 --> 01:16:01.600
<v Speaker 1>way they're playing is is probably a small part, right,

1350
01:16:01.680 --> 01:16:02.159
<v Speaker 1>It's just.

1351
01:16:03.000 --> 01:16:05.439
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, I mean, this has to be just like

1352
01:16:05.520 --> 01:16:07.960
<v Speaker 2>a scene, a single scene in the very beginning of

1353
01:16:07.960 --> 01:16:10.720
<v Speaker 2>the movie where instead of Lex Luthor like owning a

1354
01:16:10.800 --> 01:16:14.680
<v Speaker 2>newspaper company where he's running you know, mean articles against

1355
01:16:14.720 --> 01:16:18.279
<v Speaker 2>Superman or something. You know, he's just got monkeys working

1356
01:16:18.319 --> 01:16:22.000
<v Speaker 2>for him, sending mean tweets to make him feel hated.

1357
01:16:22.199 --> 01:16:26.359
<v Speaker 2>I think that sounds funny, sounds relevant, and it's obviously

1358
01:16:26.399 --> 01:16:30.600
<v Speaker 2>a commentary on the social media era. When you dare

1359
01:16:30.640 --> 01:16:32.760
<v Speaker 2>to speak up and do the right thing or be

1360
01:16:32.840 --> 01:16:34.800
<v Speaker 2>an agent of truth, there's always going to be just

1361
01:16:34.920 --> 01:16:38.399
<v Speaker 2>a couple of complete morons online who are sending you

1362
01:16:38.479 --> 01:16:40.159
<v Speaker 2>mean tweets, and you just got to get over it.

1363
01:16:40.520 --> 01:16:42.720
<v Speaker 1>No, no, no, no, one hundred percent. I assume that

1364
01:16:42.760 --> 01:16:45.000
<v Speaker 1>it's mutant monkeys some of the people I interact with

1365
01:16:45.039 --> 01:16:49.159
<v Speaker 1>on Twitter, because they're absolutely.

1366
01:16:49.239 --> 01:16:51.640
<v Speaker 2>They're called moon bats, right, yeah.

1367
01:16:51.479 --> 01:16:53.279
<v Speaker 1>Well moonbats what we use here on the show. But

1368
01:16:53.319 --> 01:16:55.039
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to do that to the monkeys because

1369
01:16:55.039 --> 01:16:59.159
<v Speaker 1>they're overperforming at that point. But your favorite Lex Luthor,

1370
01:16:59.720 --> 01:17:02.560
<v Speaker 1>and don't say Eisenberg or the interview that is done

1371
01:17:02.720 --> 01:17:05.760
<v Speaker 1>right now? So Hackman or Spacey.

1372
01:17:07.399 --> 01:17:07.880
<v Speaker 2>Spacey?

1373
01:17:08.600 --> 01:17:10.880
<v Speaker 1>You like space all right? All right, I mean it's

1374
01:17:10.880 --> 01:17:13.600
<v Speaker 1>a fact I could take either one. I think Ross

1375
01:17:13.600 --> 01:17:16.640
<v Speaker 1>went Hackman. I think I'm on Spacey camp there, so,

1376
01:17:17.319 --> 01:17:21.439
<v Speaker 1>but definitely Eisenberg is not it. By the way, did

1377
01:17:21.439 --> 01:17:24.079
<v Speaker 1>that dude just go away? He just seen? He comes

1378
01:17:24.079 --> 01:17:27.640
<v Speaker 1>across as so unlikable, both in movies but also in person.

1379
01:17:28.479 --> 01:17:31.560
<v Speaker 1>So has he been in anything lately? I can't even

1380
01:17:31.600 --> 01:17:33.279
<v Speaker 1>think of what Eisenberg's.

1381
01:17:32.640 --> 01:17:32.960
<v Speaker 3>Been in.

1382
01:17:34.479 --> 01:17:35.239
<v Speaker 2>Kevin Spacey.

1383
01:17:35.399 --> 01:17:38.119
<v Speaker 1>So no, no, no, no, se Eisenberg.

1384
01:17:38.520 --> 01:17:42.960
<v Speaker 2>No, oh, Jesse Eisenberg. Yeah, Jesse Eisenberg. No, I have

1385
01:17:43.039 --> 01:17:45.479
<v Speaker 2>not seen now. Actually he was just in an award

1386
01:17:45.520 --> 01:17:50.479
<v Speaker 2>winning movie that just picked up picked up an Academy

1387
01:17:50.520 --> 01:17:55.119
<v Speaker 2>Award that was a comedy about a dark comedy called

1388
01:17:55.119 --> 01:17:59.399
<v Speaker 2>A Real Pain about him going to Poland to visit

1389
01:17:59.439 --> 01:18:03.840
<v Speaker 2>his family history related to the Holocaust. It's actually really funny.

1390
01:18:03.880 --> 01:18:08.079
<v Speaker 2>My wife and I watched it. It's well, it's a

1391
01:18:08.159 --> 01:18:10.800
<v Speaker 2>dark comedy, you know, it's a it's a dark situation

1392
01:18:11.000 --> 01:18:15.199
<v Speaker 2>and a somber a somber visit to Holocaust sites in Poland.

1393
01:18:15.279 --> 01:18:18.960
<v Speaker 2>But the two main actors are comedians. It's Jesse Eisenberg

1394
01:18:19.520 --> 01:18:23.800
<v Speaker 2>uh and the Kulcan kid Kieran Culkin. Very funny. I'd

1395
01:18:23.800 --> 01:18:26.760
<v Speaker 2>recommend people check it out. But it's a good movie.

1396
01:18:27.079 --> 01:18:28.960
<v Speaker 1>I think I saw some of the press around Culkin,

1397
01:18:28.960 --> 01:18:30.680
<v Speaker 1>I didn't realize Eisenberg was in it.

1398
01:18:31.800 --> 01:18:33.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think he. I think he wrote it as well.

1399
01:18:33.960 --> 01:18:35.680
<v Speaker 2>That's it's his screenplay, So.

1400
01:18:36.159 --> 01:18:38.359
<v Speaker 1>I got you, I guess there. The last thing I

1401
01:18:38.399 --> 01:18:42.199
<v Speaker 1>remember him in Well One he played well actually Zuckerberg.

1402
01:18:42.239 --> 01:18:45.880
<v Speaker 1>He was perfect for that, right because oh yeah yeah,

1403
01:18:46.000 --> 01:18:48.760
<v Speaker 1>but couldn't have done an investment that the magician there,

1404
01:18:48.800 --> 01:18:50.520
<v Speaker 1>which Ross told me they're making a third one of

1405
01:18:50.680 --> 01:18:54.159
<v Speaker 1>so we'll see how that goes. Did he send you?

1406
01:18:54.199 --> 01:18:56.960
<v Speaker 1>Did he send you this creepy sci fi science story?

1407
01:18:57.000 --> 01:18:58.479
<v Speaker 1>I hope he did, because I want to I want

1408
01:18:58.520 --> 01:18:59.840
<v Speaker 1>to he sure did.

1409
01:18:59.880 --> 01:19:02.239
<v Speaker 2>I been looking at it in horror for the past

1410
01:19:02.239 --> 01:19:02.840
<v Speaker 2>thirty minutes.

1411
01:19:03.319 --> 01:19:05.199
<v Speaker 1>Let me let me remind the audience we just have

1412
01:19:05.239 --> 01:19:08.960
<v Speaker 1>about three minutes left. So scientists want to grow human

1413
01:19:09.000 --> 01:19:14.880
<v Speaker 1>bodies without brains to harvest their organs. So one, there's

1414
01:19:15.399 --> 01:19:20.239
<v Speaker 1>Michael Crichton Coma is a book slash movie. There's also

1415
01:19:20.680 --> 01:19:24.399
<v Speaker 1>The Island, which is a movie that came out that

1416
01:19:24.560 --> 01:19:30.119
<v Speaker 1>literally played with this theme. Other than the Democrats trying

1417
01:19:30.119 --> 01:19:33.159
<v Speaker 1>to get a bunch of new voters, is with which

1418
01:19:33.199 --> 01:19:37.960
<v Speaker 1>they'd be perfect for in this case, are you well,

1419
01:19:37.960 --> 01:19:39.399
<v Speaker 1>you got to get somebody to stand in front of

1420
01:19:39.399 --> 01:19:44.039
<v Speaker 1>the Department of Ed with signs. It is like it

1421
01:19:44.079 --> 01:19:47.239
<v Speaker 1>sounds like your morality thing is given a hard no

1422
01:19:47.520 --> 01:19:48.479
<v Speaker 1>here right.

1423
01:19:50.239 --> 01:19:53.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's definitely giving a very hard no. This is

1424
01:19:53.640 --> 01:19:56.479
<v Speaker 2>a really disturbing story. You said, you already described it

1425
01:19:56.479 --> 01:19:57.119
<v Speaker 2>to your audience.

1426
01:19:57.520 --> 01:20:00.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, well yeah, I'll give a quick recap. It's

1427
01:20:01.119 --> 01:20:04.399
<v Speaker 1>an MIT technology review piece. And basically they would grow

1428
01:20:04.479 --> 01:20:07.920
<v Speaker 1>bodies without brains or consciousness, so essentially they just be

1429
01:20:08.119 --> 01:20:11.439
<v Speaker 1>in I guess priostasis or so. I don't know, But

1430
01:20:12.720 --> 01:20:15.439
<v Speaker 1>you the owner of the body. If you ever need

1431
01:20:15.479 --> 01:20:17.479
<v Speaker 1>a heart or liver or whatever. Yeah, you just go

1432
01:20:17.560 --> 01:20:19.680
<v Speaker 1>grab it. And I guess they can make multiple ones,

1433
01:20:19.680 --> 01:20:21.600
<v Speaker 1>because if you take a heart, I'm assuming it's gonna

1434
01:20:22.319 --> 01:20:25.640
<v Speaker 1>go bye by. Yeah, but I need a heart. I

1435
01:20:25.680 --> 01:20:30.039
<v Speaker 1>wonder if all of a sudden you find this pretty moral, well.

1436
01:20:29.920 --> 01:20:32.359
<v Speaker 2>I find it pretty immoral. And I think just from

1437
01:20:32.640 --> 01:20:36.000
<v Speaker 2>a basic Judeo Christian perspective, you know, if you think

1438
01:20:36.039 --> 01:20:38.800
<v Speaker 2>about the human body as being made in the image

1439
01:20:38.800 --> 01:20:43.840
<v Speaker 2>of God, you know, your earliest objection to human practices

1440
01:20:44.039 --> 01:20:47.479
<v Speaker 2>around the human body would have been cremation. You know,

1441
01:20:47.560 --> 01:20:50.079
<v Speaker 2>that's the belief that you know, you shouldn't actually cremate

1442
01:20:50.239 --> 01:20:53.840
<v Speaker 2>bodies because this is something that is meant to be beautiful,

1443
01:20:53.920 --> 01:20:57.039
<v Speaker 2>meant to be buried and treated in a very delicate way.

1444
01:20:57.079 --> 01:20:59.560
<v Speaker 2>We threw out that out many many many years ago,

1445
01:20:59.600 --> 01:21:01.479
<v Speaker 2>and you know, you just kind of keep going down

1446
01:21:01.520 --> 01:21:04.880
<v Speaker 2>the line, and humanity keeps getting more and more disconnected

1447
01:21:04.920 --> 01:21:08.159
<v Speaker 2>from their own nature. And so now we are thinking

1448
01:21:08.159 --> 01:21:11.640
<v Speaker 2>about building entire human bodies in test tubes just to

1449
01:21:11.680 --> 01:21:15.199
<v Speaker 2>harvest them for parts and promising that they won't have consciousness.

1450
01:21:15.199 --> 01:21:19.159
<v Speaker 2>And I recommend people read one particular book by C. S. Lewis,

1451
01:21:19.199 --> 01:21:21.439
<v Speaker 2>who did the Chronicles of Narnia. He also did a

1452
01:21:21.479 --> 01:21:25.039
<v Speaker 2>series called the Ransom Trilogy and the final book is

1453
01:21:25.119 --> 01:21:29.159
<v Speaker 2>called That Hideous Strength. It is the most relevant book

1454
01:21:29.439 --> 01:21:35.079
<v Speaker 2>you could possibly read for stories like this, transhumanism, the

1455
01:21:35.399 --> 01:21:39.840
<v Speaker 2>basically just the giving up of human bodies to demonic forces.

1456
01:21:40.159 --> 01:21:44.479
<v Speaker 2>I think that that's exactly what this is most relevant.

1457
01:21:44.039 --> 01:21:46.520
<v Speaker 1>Story of the day, and I'm glad it's at this

1458
01:21:46.560 --> 01:21:49.319
<v Speaker 1>point speculative, but you know there's people champion at the

1459
01:21:49.319 --> 01:21:51.520
<v Speaker 1>bit to do it. All right, Steven, appreciate the time

1460
01:21:51.560 --> 01:21:54.199
<v Speaker 1>this morning. We got a role. We're on vacation next week,

1461
01:21:54.239 --> 01:21:55.479
<v Speaker 1>so we'll talk to you a couple of weeks.

1462
01:21:55.479 --> 01:21:57.359
<v Speaker 2>Okay, all right, stay safe out.

1463
01:21:57.199 --> 01:21:59.840
<v Speaker 1>There, all right, Well there's not a chance we're on vacation.

1464
01:22:00.079 --> 01:22:02.840
<v Speaker 1>All right, Steven Kent, thank you, and we will be

1465
01:22:02.920 --> 01:22:03.319
<v Speaker 1>right back.

1466
01:22:03.479 --> 01:22:03.640
<v Speaker 2>Slee.

1467
01:22:03.840 --> 01:22:06.880
<v Speaker 1>I was never a cruise guy, I said, I mentioned,

1468
01:22:06.920 --> 01:22:10.279
<v Speaker 1>I went on, I went out. Well, I shouldn't say this.

1469
01:22:10.319 --> 01:22:13.479
<v Speaker 1>It's not that I'm not a cruise guy. It's it's

1470
01:22:13.520 --> 01:22:15.880
<v Speaker 1>got to be specific, like if you want to go

1471
01:22:16.039 --> 01:22:19.319
<v Speaker 1>on one of the higher end cruises or one of

1472
01:22:19.319 --> 01:22:23.119
<v Speaker 1>the ones where like Holland America. I had a really

1473
01:22:23.159 --> 01:22:28.279
<v Speaker 1>good experience with Holland America, and except for one lady

1474
01:22:28.399 --> 01:22:31.520
<v Speaker 1>who decided that the one place on the entire ship

1475
01:22:31.560 --> 01:22:34.279
<v Speaker 1>where we could smoke a cigar was where she'd set

1476
01:22:34.279 --> 01:22:36.800
<v Speaker 1>all her kids crap and then yell at us. But

1477
01:22:36.920 --> 01:22:40.520
<v Speaker 1>they actually handled her. But yeah, I see all these videos. Man.

1478
01:22:41.479 --> 01:22:43.640
<v Speaker 1>As far as a budget cruise, I don't know. You

1479
01:22:43.680 --> 01:22:46.560
<v Speaker 1>could get me on one, but I already don't like

1480
01:22:46.600 --> 01:22:48.439
<v Speaker 1>being around a bunch of people. You're not gonna get

1481
01:22:48.520 --> 01:22:51.079
<v Speaker 1>rass on one. You'd have to kidnap him. He ain't

1482
01:22:51.079 --> 01:22:56.720
<v Speaker 1>going on one. So yeah, and then I see videos

1483
01:22:56.800 --> 01:23:00.399
<v Speaker 1>like that where there's just a giant melee when they're

1484
01:23:00.399 --> 01:23:04.159
<v Speaker 1>disembarking because I think it started over a piece of

1485
01:23:04.239 --> 01:23:07.800
<v Speaker 1>luggage or something. I don't know. But we also had

1486
01:23:07.840 --> 01:23:11.079
<v Speaker 1>that story what about two months ago, where the little

1487
01:23:11.079 --> 01:23:13.760
<v Speaker 1>Filipino dude was hiding under the bed film and women.

1488
01:23:13.880 --> 01:23:18.039
<v Speaker 1>So that'd be less of a problem for me because

1489
01:23:18.359 --> 01:23:22.880
<v Speaker 1>that dude would fall off my balcony. But yeah, yeah,

1490
01:23:22.920 --> 01:23:25.520
<v Speaker 1>so I don't know everyone sent me this video. I'll

1491
01:23:25.520 --> 01:23:28.800
<v Speaker 1>tell you the cruise story that really got under my

1492
01:23:28.840 --> 01:23:32.960
<v Speaker 1>skin is this elderly gentleman, him and his wife runt

1493
01:23:32.960 --> 01:23:35.680
<v Speaker 1>an elevator and there's a bunch of you know punks there,

1494
01:23:36.560 --> 01:23:40.560
<v Speaker 1>young dudes running around and they start like they're just

1495
01:23:40.680 --> 01:23:43.279
<v Speaker 1>being a holes in the elevator to this guy and

1496
01:23:43.319 --> 01:23:45.520
<v Speaker 1>then they kind of block it when they get to

1497
01:23:45.680 --> 01:23:48.239
<v Speaker 1>where the floor is for this dude, and he kind

1498
01:23:48.239 --> 01:23:51.600
<v Speaker 1>of kind of push pushes is the wrong word. He

1499
01:23:51.680 --> 01:23:54.359
<v Speaker 1>has to like go kind of throw him turned sideways,

1500
01:23:54.439 --> 01:23:57.960
<v Speaker 1>and the moment he made contact, they literally beat him

1501
01:23:59.199 --> 01:24:00.840
<v Speaker 1>and to the point of like they were hitting him

1502
01:24:00.840 --> 01:24:02.239
<v Speaker 1>in the head, knocked him out. I think one of

1503
01:24:02.279 --> 01:24:07.760
<v Speaker 1>them kicked him in the head. And his wife's just

1504
01:24:07.760 --> 01:24:10.720
<v Speaker 1>got to sit there and watch this thing, and I

1505
01:24:10.760 --> 01:24:14.479
<v Speaker 1>think they they I think the cruise ship came back

1506
01:24:16.119 --> 01:24:19.600
<v Speaker 1>to Miami or Everglades or wherever it was, and then

1507
01:24:19.640 --> 01:24:23.600
<v Speaker 1>they gave the dude five thousand dollars bond and I'm

1508
01:24:23.640 --> 01:24:27.000
<v Speaker 1>just like, Nope, not dealing with that. So yes, thank

1509
01:24:27.039 --> 01:24:29.359
<v Speaker 1>you to everyone who sent me the video. Boston Paul

1510
01:24:29.479 --> 01:24:31.479
<v Speaker 1>just sent it to me. Boston Paul, you should go

1511
01:24:31.520 --> 01:24:34.239
<v Speaker 1>on the cruise, lay down the law man, bring your

1512
01:24:34.279 --> 01:24:36.319
<v Speaker 1>old nightstick. It'll be like back in the day where

1513
01:24:36.319 --> 01:24:39.439
<v Speaker 1>you used to you know, willy nilly with that thing.

1514
01:24:39.479 --> 01:24:42.800
<v Speaker 1>It'll be fun. And then film it for us. Okay,

1515
01:24:42.840 --> 01:24:46.159
<v Speaker 1>all right, very good. A few other things. We got

1516
01:24:46.199 --> 01:24:50.800
<v Speaker 1>to get to Tim Walls. Tim Walls, governor O Minnesota

1517
01:24:50.880 --> 01:24:55.079
<v Speaker 1>and a former VP candidate. He was he was doing

1518
01:24:55.119 --> 01:24:58.439
<v Speaker 1>a little little stage work doing some interviews at some

1519
01:24:58.560 --> 01:25:00.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know what the hell it was, and

1520
01:25:01.199 --> 01:25:08.920
<v Speaker 1>he was explaining his function within the campaign, and I'm well,

1521
01:25:09.199 --> 01:25:11.159
<v Speaker 1>i'll run it by you. You tell me what you think.

1522
01:25:11.239 --> 01:25:14.039
<v Speaker 9>I knew I was on the ticket. I would argue

1523
01:25:14.079 --> 01:25:16.319
<v Speaker 9>because we did a lot of amazing progressive things in

1524
01:25:16.359 --> 01:25:17.319
<v Speaker 9>Minnesota improvement.

1525
01:25:17.920 --> 01:25:20.600
<v Speaker 1>And you're not Jewish too, by the way, That probably

1526
01:25:20.840 --> 01:25:21.800
<v Speaker 1>is another reason.

1527
01:25:21.760 --> 01:25:24.560
<v Speaker 9>I knew I was on the ticket. I would argue

1528
01:25:24.560 --> 01:25:27.319
<v Speaker 9>because we did a lot of amazing progressive things in Minnesota,

1529
01:25:27.399 --> 01:25:29.920
<v Speaker 9>improved people's lives. But I also was on the ticket

1530
01:25:30.000 --> 01:25:33.920
<v Speaker 9>quite honestly, you know, because I could code talk to

1531
01:25:33.960 --> 01:25:37.600
<v Speaker 9>white guys watching football fixing their truck during that that

1532
01:25:37.680 --> 01:25:39.479
<v Speaker 9>I could put them at ease. I was the permission

1533
01:25:39.560 --> 01:25:42.319
<v Speaker 9>structure to say, look, you can do this and vote

1534
01:25:42.319 --> 01:25:42.520
<v Speaker 9>for this.

1535
01:25:42.880 --> 01:25:47.960
<v Speaker 1>All right, that's enough. I hate this narrative because they

1536
01:25:48.000 --> 01:25:50.239
<v Speaker 1>kind of played it up during the election, like Tim

1537
01:25:50.239 --> 01:25:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Walls given permission to vote for the black woman. What

1538
01:25:55.039 --> 01:25:57.159
<v Speaker 1>the hell are you talking about? If you have to

1539
01:25:57.239 --> 01:26:01.720
<v Speaker 1>approach it that inherently voters out there either object or

1540
01:26:01.960 --> 01:26:06.000
<v Speaker 1>like her because she's a black woman. And so at

1541
01:26:06.000 --> 01:26:09.920
<v Speaker 1>that point, your whole marketing strategy is flawed because one

1542
01:26:10.560 --> 01:26:13.319
<v Speaker 1>you think that that's something you have to do, even

1543
01:26:13.359 --> 01:26:16.800
<v Speaker 1>to people who quote unquote like you or like your politics.

1544
01:26:16.800 --> 01:26:20.640
<v Speaker 1>But two, you're telling everyone that has a question about

1545
01:26:20.760 --> 01:26:24.640
<v Speaker 1>voting for Kamala that their objection, especially among men, is

1546
01:26:24.720 --> 01:26:27.319
<v Speaker 1>clearly that she's a woman, or that she's a black woman,

1547
01:26:27.399 --> 01:26:29.720
<v Speaker 1>or she's black, you know, pick whichever one or combination.

1548
01:26:29.800 --> 01:26:31.479
<v Speaker 3>They're a rightly, we have to reach out to this

1549
01:26:31.479 --> 01:26:32.680
<v Speaker 3>group because they're racist.

1550
01:26:33.319 --> 01:26:36.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so are you changing hearts and minds at that

1551
01:26:37.039 --> 01:26:39.920
<v Speaker 1>point where you're like, I know you're racist, but listen

1552
01:26:40.000 --> 01:26:46.880
<v Speaker 1>to me. And also, also, nobody Tim Walls shows up

1553
01:26:46.920 --> 01:26:49.960
<v Speaker 1>to your fantasy draft. Nobody thinks that's a good thing.

1554
01:26:51.039 --> 01:26:54.479
<v Speaker 1>Let me just be straight up with you. They're like, oh, man,

1555
01:26:54.600 --> 01:26:57.319
<v Speaker 1>I had to avite him. He's my you know, relatives

1556
01:26:57.760 --> 01:27:02.720
<v Speaker 1>whatever spouse h showed up like you are, you are

1557
01:27:02.880 --> 01:27:05.600
<v Speaker 1>the meme, you are the hate hate fellow kids.

1558
01:27:05.760 --> 01:27:08.199
<v Speaker 3>Right, nothing about it was authentic. Right, he's up there,

1559
01:27:08.239 --> 01:27:10.640
<v Speaker 3>he's general Jazz hands on the stage, and then when

1560
01:27:10.680 --> 01:27:13.800
<v Speaker 3>he's playing Madden with AOC he said he's gonna run

1561
01:27:13.800 --> 01:27:15.560
<v Speaker 3>the pick six or something, and then they.

1562
01:27:15.399 --> 01:27:16.680
<v Speaker 1>Have one of the hood Killer.

1563
01:27:17.279 --> 01:27:18.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, none of it looked real.

1564
01:27:19.680 --> 01:27:23.920
<v Speaker 1>No, no, nobody, nobody's taking you seriously. I even defended

1565
01:27:23.960 --> 01:27:25.880
<v Speaker 1>the fact that you were getting razzed on the Twins

1566
01:27:25.880 --> 01:27:31.880
<v Speaker 1>photo h only because you're you're you shouldn't talk about

1567
01:27:31.880 --> 01:27:36.000
<v Speaker 1>sports at all. But nobody who really liked sports found

1568
01:27:36.039 --> 01:27:38.560
<v Speaker 1>you genuine And I understand that that's a weird hill,

1569
01:27:38.640 --> 01:27:40.760
<v Speaker 1>a hill to die on when you're talking about a

1570
01:27:40.760 --> 01:27:45.000
<v Speaker 1>presidential election, but it says something about you. We'll put

1571
01:27:45.079 --> 01:27:48.680
<v Speaker 1>up with a little of it with our politicians, right,

1572
01:27:49.239 --> 01:27:53.359
<v Speaker 1>Like Trump doesn't really he's he he doesn't really drive

1573
01:27:53.399 --> 01:27:56.119
<v Speaker 1>a garbage truck, but he didn't pretend like he did.

1574
01:27:56.119 --> 01:27:58.159
<v Speaker 1>Do you know what I mean, Ross, I think you

1575
01:27:58.199 --> 01:27:59.359
<v Speaker 1>actually brought this point up.

1576
01:27:59.399 --> 01:28:00.640
<v Speaker 3>I mean it was hilarious.

1577
01:28:00.680 --> 01:28:03.319
<v Speaker 1>I mean that he wasn't doing it because he's like, oh,

1578
01:28:03.319 --> 01:28:05.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm just I'm just a garbage truck driver, right, which

1579
01:28:05.760 --> 01:28:07.520
<v Speaker 1>is Tim Wallas like, I'm just a sports fan. It

1580
01:28:07.560 --> 01:28:08.319
<v Speaker 1>works on my truck.

1581
01:28:08.399 --> 01:28:08.560
<v Speaker 2>Well.

1582
01:28:08.560 --> 01:28:11.119
<v Speaker 3>Also, I mean, it was like a brilliant campaign strategy

1583
01:28:11.159 --> 01:28:13.239
<v Speaker 3>from the Trump campaign, because on the other hand, you

1584
01:28:13.279 --> 01:28:16.000
<v Speaker 3>had Kamala Harris dressed up with that brown suit looking

1585
01:28:16.039 --> 01:28:19.279
<v Speaker 3>like Hitler, screaming at the podium about how Trump was Hitler.

1586
01:28:19.560 --> 01:28:22.239
<v Speaker 3>And then the next frame, the next story is Trump

1587
01:28:22.359 --> 01:28:26.000
<v Speaker 3>driving the garbage truck being funny like that doesn't look

1588
01:28:26.039 --> 01:28:27.880
<v Speaker 3>like yes.

1589
01:28:28.560 --> 01:28:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he's not. He wasn't doing it because he's like,

1590
01:28:31.079 --> 01:28:34.800
<v Speaker 1>this is me. He everyone knows who he is, Like

1591
01:28:35.000 --> 01:28:37.880
<v Speaker 1>he's a guy who's never gonna have to dip fries. Right,

1592
01:28:39.159 --> 01:28:42.159
<v Speaker 1>But they're fine with it because it's it's it's authentic

1593
01:28:42.279 --> 01:28:44.479
<v Speaker 1>in the sense that you're doing it for a lark

1594
01:28:44.720 --> 01:28:45.159
<v Speaker 1>like JD.

1595
01:28:45.279 --> 01:28:48.960
<v Speaker 3>Vance. He comes across as authentic, right, yeah, and then

1596
01:28:48.960 --> 01:28:50.960
<v Speaker 3>he's on THEO vonn or did he do Rogan? I

1597
01:28:51.000 --> 01:28:52.600
<v Speaker 3>can't remember. I think he did, but yeah, you know,

1598
01:28:52.800 --> 01:28:55.039
<v Speaker 3>not ov. He came across as super authentic or he

1599
01:28:55.039 --> 01:28:58.159
<v Speaker 3>seems sitting down with the troops. He seems authentic. And

1600
01:28:58.199 --> 01:28:59.640
<v Speaker 3>it has nothing to do with race. You have a

1601
01:28:59.640 --> 01:29:02.119
<v Speaker 3>lot of people that would vote for h what's your

1602
01:29:02.199 --> 01:29:06.239
<v Speaker 3>name up in Virginia win wins seers. Yeah, yeah, she's great.

1603
01:29:06.279 --> 01:29:08.319
<v Speaker 3>People like her. Has nothing to do with race man,

1604
01:29:08.359 --> 01:29:09.920
<v Speaker 3>And that's like a thing they really have to start

1605
01:29:09.960 --> 01:29:13.560
<v Speaker 3>to understand it has People didn't vote against Kamala because

1606
01:29:13.600 --> 01:29:15.760
<v Speaker 3>she was black or whatever. They didn't vote for her

1607
01:29:15.760 --> 01:29:17.039
<v Speaker 3>because they like her policies.

1608
01:29:17.520 --> 01:29:21.640
<v Speaker 1>And once you inject it, the accusation is out there.

1609
01:29:21.800 --> 01:29:26.279
<v Speaker 1>So you you create an almost impossible situation flipping people

1610
01:29:26.960 --> 01:29:29.000
<v Speaker 1>because the first thing you've said about him is I

1611
01:29:29.079 --> 01:29:32.520
<v Speaker 1>know you're racist, but and people at that point people

1612
01:29:32.520 --> 01:29:34.760
<v Speaker 1>dig in ross. How many times have you dug into

1613
01:29:34.800 --> 01:29:36.760
<v Speaker 1>a point just to spite somebody?

1614
01:29:38.680 --> 01:29:39.720
<v Speaker 3>Oh, just for fun?

1615
01:29:40.159 --> 01:29:40.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

1616
01:29:40.399 --> 01:29:43.479
<v Speaker 1>Well yeah, so like you really could be either way,

1617
01:29:43.520 --> 01:29:46.119
<v Speaker 1>but then somebody said something to annoy you, so you're

1618
01:29:46.159 --> 01:29:48.319
<v Speaker 1>just what do they call it? Malicious compliance?

1619
01:29:48.359 --> 01:29:48.479
<v Speaker 6>Oh?

1620
01:29:48.479 --> 01:29:50.439
<v Speaker 3>A lot of time back in the day, especially, I

1621
01:29:50.479 --> 01:29:51.640
<v Speaker 3>would just do something out of spite.

1622
01:29:51.720 --> 01:29:56.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, oh even I still do it. Man, how

1623
01:29:56.279 --> 01:29:59.439
<v Speaker 1>many times I talk about this? How many times are

1624
01:29:59.439 --> 01:30:01.279
<v Speaker 1>you out of sales person you were more than willing

1625
01:30:01.319 --> 01:30:03.640
<v Speaker 1>to do a bunch for and then they just they

1626
01:30:03.680 --> 01:30:06.039
<v Speaker 1>made it such a circus that you had to invoke,

1627
01:30:06.239 --> 01:30:07.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, basically the process.

1628
01:30:08.079 --> 01:30:09.560
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if I've ever done that, because I'm

1629
01:30:09.600 --> 01:30:13.439
<v Speaker 3>an extreme team player and my work ethic is impeccable

1630
01:30:13.479 --> 01:30:16.760
<v Speaker 3>and I'm really yeah, anyway, I'll endorse anything.

1631
01:30:17.199 --> 01:30:20.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's that was probably not the best example, but

1632
01:30:20.760 --> 01:30:22.279
<v Speaker 1>you know exactly what I'm talking about.

1633
01:30:22.800 --> 01:30:24.479
<v Speaker 3>No, yeah, no, I do. I do.

1634
01:30:25.000 --> 01:30:27.359
<v Speaker 1>Where it's just like, all right, you made this such

1635
01:30:27.399 --> 01:30:29.680
<v Speaker 1>a circus and it's such a waste of my time.

1636
01:30:29.760 --> 01:30:31.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm invoking the you got to have it to me

1637
01:30:31.680 --> 01:30:34.359
<v Speaker 1>twenty four hours in advance thing, you know, or whatever

1638
01:30:34.439 --> 01:30:36.800
<v Speaker 1>your job is where you're you're more than willing to

1639
01:30:36.800 --> 01:30:40.840
<v Speaker 1>be flexible. You're willing to acqui as if it makes sense,

1640
01:30:40.960 --> 01:30:43.119
<v Speaker 1>You're willing to listen to the other person, and then

1641
01:30:43.159 --> 01:30:45.359
<v Speaker 1>they kind of insult you and they can't understand why

1642
01:30:45.359 --> 01:30:47.439
<v Speaker 1>you're not coming around to their point or doing what

1643
01:30:47.520 --> 01:30:50.199
<v Speaker 1>they want. So you know, there's a little joys in

1644
01:30:50.239 --> 01:30:54.119
<v Speaker 1>life right there, but not here because work ethic and

1645
01:30:54.199 --> 01:30:54.840
<v Speaker 1>all that stuff.

1646
01:30:55.399 --> 01:30:56.560
<v Speaker 3>Right, Yeah, that's us.

1647
01:30:57.920 --> 01:30:59.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, raced agic super work ethic.

1648
01:31:01.199 --> 01:31:04.159
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, they'll even be here tomorrow and Monday. How's that

1649
01:31:04.239 --> 01:31:04.640
<v Speaker 5>for work?

1650
01:31:05.159 --> 01:31:07.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't believe you, But okay, we won't be here Monday.

1651
01:31:09.039 --> 01:31:12.239
<v Speaker 1>We're all well next week by the way. Oh see

1652
01:31:12.680 --> 01:31:17.239
<v Speaker 1>talk about work ethic. Geesh, Oh really you want to

1653
01:31:17.279 --> 01:31:21.279
<v Speaker 1>get into this, you want to touch on this.

1654
01:31:21.359 --> 01:31:24.239
<v Speaker 5>Well, that's good because I've got graduation next week, so

1655
01:31:24.239 --> 01:31:25.920
<v Speaker 5>I'll be out a few days too, so that works out.

1656
01:31:25.960 --> 01:31:29.960
<v Speaker 1>Well. Wait, so you were like, oh, it'll be here Monday,

1657
01:31:30.039 --> 01:31:30.640
<v Speaker 1>No I won't.

1658
01:31:30.840 --> 01:31:33.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, well i'll be here Monday, but I won't be

1659
01:31:33.039 --> 01:31:39.279
<v Speaker 5>here Friday. Yeah, it's overrated anyway, work ethic.

1660
01:31:39.560 --> 01:31:40.720
<v Speaker 3>See where that got us?

1661
01:31:41.680 --> 01:31:44.479
<v Speaker 1>Hear you? Yeah, I see where.

1662
01:31:44.319 --> 01:31:44.880
<v Speaker 3>That got us?

1663
01:31:44.920 --> 01:31:47.880
<v Speaker 1>Right, Yeah, all right, well, yeah, work ethic your way

1664
01:31:47.880 --> 01:31:51.399
<v Speaker 1>through a forecast, and then we'll go and yeah.

1665
01:31:51.079 --> 01:31:54.399
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, we're in good shape so far. Today showers, thunder

1666
01:31:54.399 --> 01:31:57.359
<v Speaker 5>showers just entering the southwest corner of the state, so

1667
01:31:57.359 --> 01:31:59.159
<v Speaker 5>they got a ways to go. I think the best

1668
01:31:59.239 --> 01:32:00.960
<v Speaker 5>chance is going to be try it west as we

1669
01:32:01.000 --> 01:32:03.680
<v Speaker 5>had yesterday, although some are around the triangle did get

1670
01:32:03.720 --> 01:32:06.520
<v Speaker 5>some showers, a lot of sunshine otherwise with some clouds.

1671
01:32:06.880 --> 01:32:09.279
<v Speaker 5>Mid upper eighties today, Tomorrow mid upper eighties with a

1672
01:32:09.279 --> 01:32:11.800
<v Speaker 5>little better chance of showers the thunder showers in the afternoon.

1673
01:32:12.439 --> 01:32:14.800
<v Speaker 5>Saturday and Sunday do look a little unsettled. Got this

1674
01:32:14.800 --> 01:32:17.279
<v Speaker 5>front approaching, It's gonna kind of hang around, gonna bring

1675
01:32:17.319 --> 01:32:21.399
<v Speaker 5>scattered showers thunderstorms each day, better coverage, better chances than

1676
01:32:21.439 --> 01:32:23.680
<v Speaker 5>today and tomorrow. It still doesn't mean, it's going to

1677
01:32:23.800 --> 01:32:24.439
<v Speaker 5>rain all day.

1678
01:32:24.479 --> 01:32:27.000
<v Speaker 1>But be prepared. If you say, well, if you get

1679
01:32:27.000 --> 01:32:27.439
<v Speaker 1>one round of.

1680
01:32:27.479 --> 01:32:29.760
<v Speaker 5>Rain to go outside, and you say, let me see

1681
01:32:29.760 --> 01:32:31.600
<v Speaker 5>if I get back out there, you know, eyes and

1682
01:32:31.640 --> 01:32:32.359
<v Speaker 5>ears to the sky.

1683
01:32:32.520 --> 01:32:33.399
<v Speaker 3>You may get rain again.

1684
01:32:33.439 --> 01:32:35.079
<v Speaker 5>You may not, but there is going to be at

1685
01:32:35.159 --> 01:32:36.800
<v Speaker 5>least a little bit more rain, and we may see

1686
01:32:36.800 --> 01:32:38.640
<v Speaker 5>some of those showers carry into next week with some

1687
01:32:38.760 --> 01:32:42.199
<v Speaker 5>cooler temperatures by Sunday. We're only in the seventy. Same

1688
01:32:42.239 --> 01:32:44.479
<v Speaker 5>thing for Monday and to get on Tuesday.

1689
01:32:45.000 --> 01:32:47.560
<v Speaker 1>Okay, all right, thank you sir. We'll talk to you

1690
01:32:47.640 --> 01:32:51.399
<v Speaker 1>to see you tomorrow. Yeah, all right, raced agic there. Jeff

1691
01:32:51.399 --> 01:32:54.159
<v Speaker 1>Bellinger coming up next. Hang on from Jeff. What's going on?

1692
01:32:54.520 --> 01:32:55.680
<v Speaker 3>Well, morning, casey.

1693
01:32:55.840 --> 01:32:59.359
<v Speaker 10>Well for Wall Street, April was volatile right to the

1694
01:32:59.520 --> 01:33:01.439
<v Speaker 10>very end. The stocks were deep in the red at

1695
01:33:01.439 --> 01:33:05.439
<v Speaker 10>the start of yesterday's trading, but the major averages ended mixed.

1696
01:33:05.439 --> 01:33:07.760
<v Speaker 10>The Dow and the S and P five hundred closed

1697
01:33:07.760 --> 01:33:11.319
<v Speaker 10>modestly higher than ASDAK declined, but by less than a

1698
01:33:11.359 --> 01:33:14.760
<v Speaker 10>tenth of a percent. Better than expected quarterly results from

1699
01:33:14.840 --> 01:33:17.960
<v Speaker 10>Microsoft and Meta Platforms may have set the stage for

1700
01:33:18.079 --> 01:33:21.640
<v Speaker 10>some early gains when the markets open this morning. Futures

1701
01:33:21.640 --> 01:33:24.279
<v Speaker 10>are higher right across the board. Now, the OW futures

1702
01:33:24.279 --> 01:33:27.560
<v Speaker 10>are up two hundred seven points. Apple and Amazon are

1703
01:33:27.560 --> 01:33:31.119
<v Speaker 10>scheduled to report after the market's closed today. There was

1704
01:33:31.159 --> 01:33:34.560
<v Speaker 10>a significant increase last week in the number of workers

1705
01:33:34.600 --> 01:33:38.199
<v Speaker 10>signing up for unemployment benefits. The Labor Department counted two

1706
01:33:38.279 --> 01:33:42.359
<v Speaker 10>hundred forty one thousand new applications. That was eighteen thousand

1707
01:33:42.439 --> 01:33:45.680
<v Speaker 10>more than the week before. General Motors said this morning

1708
01:33:45.720 --> 01:33:49.000
<v Speaker 10>that exposure to tariffs will cost the company as much

1709
01:33:49.000 --> 01:33:53.000
<v Speaker 10>as five billion dollars. The automaker slashed its profit outlook

1710
01:33:53.039 --> 01:33:56.039
<v Speaker 10>for the year. The potential hit to a GM among

1711
01:33:56.079 --> 01:33:59.319
<v Speaker 10>the biggest revealed so far by any company since the

1712
01:33:59.359 --> 01:34:02.560
<v Speaker 10>start of the train War. The nation's toy makers may

1713
01:34:02.600 --> 01:34:06.239
<v Speaker 10>come to regret decisions they made years ago. The companies

1714
01:34:06.319 --> 01:34:10.279
<v Speaker 10>fired a lot of American workers and outsourced manufacturing to China.

1715
01:34:10.680 --> 01:34:13.479
<v Speaker 10>Now nearly eighty percent of the toys sold in the

1716
01:34:13.640 --> 01:34:16.720
<v Speaker 10>US are made in China, and the companies are worried

1717
01:34:16.720 --> 01:34:21.000
<v Speaker 10>about President Trump's tariffs. The Toy Association says members that

1718
01:34:21.079 --> 01:34:23.880
<v Speaker 10>can't afford to absorb the levies will have to raise

1719
01:34:23.920 --> 01:34:27.319
<v Speaker 10>their retail prices or discontinue some products.

1720
01:34:27.319 --> 01:34:30.199
<v Speaker 1>That may mean shortages for the holidays.

1721
01:34:30.039 --> 01:34:33.399
<v Speaker 10>And Casey, Starbucks been upgrading its doors, but the cost

1722
01:34:33.520 --> 01:34:37.239
<v Speaker 10>is taking a big toll. CEO Brian Nicol told staffers

1723
01:34:37.279 --> 01:34:40.600
<v Speaker 10>the company has been spending as much as one million

1724
01:34:40.640 --> 01:34:45.399
<v Speaker 10>dollars on each remodel. Nichol says future coffeehouse facelifts may

1725
01:34:45.399 --> 01:34:48.479
<v Speaker 10>be much less drastic. If a store is in good shape,

1726
01:34:48.520 --> 01:34:50.720
<v Speaker 10>he says, it may just need some fresh paint and

1727
01:34:50.920 --> 01:34:51.640
<v Speaker 10>new furniture.

1728
01:34:51.880 --> 01:34:55.479
<v Speaker 1>Casey, a million dollars per location, is that what you said?

1729
01:34:55.720 --> 01:34:58.640
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, eight hundred thousand, two million dollars each.

1730
01:34:58.439 --> 01:35:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Weektish model called North Hills, just down the road from

1731
01:35:02.000 --> 01:35:04.520
<v Speaker 1>the station. I think, what is there three Starbucks over

1732
01:35:04.560 --> 01:35:07.800
<v Speaker 1>there that you could literally see from each other, So

1733
01:35:08.319 --> 01:35:11.640
<v Speaker 1>that maybe that's more of the issue. So one on target,

1734
01:35:11.720 --> 01:35:13.560
<v Speaker 1>one up on the square, and one over on the

1735
01:35:13.600 --> 01:35:16.359
<v Speaker 1>other side. Okay, all right, well there you go. All right, thanks, Jeff,

1736
01:35:16.359 --> 01:35:16.920
<v Speaker 1>appreciate it.

1737
01:35:17.000 --> 01:35:18.000
<v Speaker 3>Okay, have a good day.

1738
01:35:18.399 --> 01:35:22.319
<v Speaker 1>Yep, yep, there you go. Jeff Bellinger, Bloomberg News. Yeah,

1739
01:35:22.359 --> 01:35:24.560
<v Speaker 1>I think there's three over there in North Hills, one

1740
01:35:24.600 --> 01:35:27.560
<v Speaker 1>over by the Total Wine, one in the little square thing,

1741
01:35:27.600 --> 01:35:30.399
<v Speaker 1>and one in that target. I've never I'm not a

1742
01:35:30.399 --> 01:35:34.239
<v Speaker 1>Starbucks person. But but people are that's that's probably your

1743
01:35:34.560 --> 01:35:38.359
<v Speaker 1>your heaven over there, all right? Check this out, New

1744
01:35:38.439 --> 01:35:43.199
<v Speaker 1>York Times. This headline You're ready a hot accessory at

1745
01:35:43.239 --> 01:35:47.319
<v Speaker 1>the intersection of faith and culture. Oh, New York Times

1746
01:35:47.359 --> 01:35:51.439
<v Speaker 1>writing about faith? Whatever? Could it? Be? Seen on influencers?

1747
01:35:51.520 --> 01:35:55.119
<v Speaker 1>Is the subheadline seen on influencers, pop stars and White

1748
01:35:55.119 --> 01:36:03.520
<v Speaker 1>House staff cross necklaces are popping up everywhere? What have you, guys?

1749
01:36:03.800 --> 01:36:06.399
<v Speaker 1>As the New York Times, do you guys know any Christians?

1750
01:36:06.439 --> 01:36:09.479
<v Speaker 1>Do you know? I'm like, this is not a new thing.

1751
01:36:09.640 --> 01:36:13.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you know. Like the the affinity

1752
01:36:13.640 --> 01:36:19.920
<v Speaker 1>for writing stories that demonstrate your complete ignorance of anything

1753
01:36:20.000 --> 01:36:23.880
<v Speaker 1>outside of your bubble is staggering to me. Like this

1754
01:36:24.119 --> 01:36:26.479
<v Speaker 1>is along the lines of that article where they're like

1755
01:36:27.279 --> 01:36:30.239
<v Speaker 1>gen z figuring out cool new way to save money

1756
01:36:30.239 --> 01:36:33.479
<v Speaker 1>on living living together with non relatives. It's like, yeah,

1757
01:36:33.520 --> 01:36:36.479
<v Speaker 1>it's called roommates, all right. So they wrote a whole

1758
01:36:36.520 --> 01:36:41.439
<v Speaker 1>story about how you ready for this? People who are

1759
01:36:41.479 --> 01:36:50.199
<v Speaker 1>of the Christian faith sometimes wear crosses. Blew their mind? Yeah, apparently,

1760
01:36:51.039 --> 01:36:54.960
<v Speaker 1>and I understandably so. With the current White House Press secretary,

1761
01:36:55.039 --> 01:36:57.399
<v Speaker 1>she has that thing front and center. That's her faith.

1762
01:36:58.960 --> 01:37:01.800
<v Speaker 1>But also how weird is that that you don't know

1763
01:37:01.880 --> 01:37:07.479
<v Speaker 1>that the people some not everyone, but people wear crosses

1764
01:37:07.640 --> 01:37:11.079
<v Speaker 1>who are a Christian. Sometimes they were really nice ones.

1765
01:37:11.239 --> 01:37:14.279
<v Speaker 1>And you can even get them iced or whatever they

1766
01:37:15.800 --> 01:37:17.560
<v Speaker 1>or they stick all the diamonds on it. You get

1767
01:37:17.560 --> 01:37:21.720
<v Speaker 1>anything you want. But people wear crosses and I don't

1768
01:37:21.720 --> 01:37:24.720
<v Speaker 1>always have them out basically she does. And then the

1769
01:37:24.760 --> 01:37:27.880
<v Speaker 1>pillow guy right and the commercial he had his out there.

1770
01:37:27.920 --> 01:37:29.720
<v Speaker 1>I remember people making fun of him, and I'm like,

1771
01:37:30.560 --> 01:37:33.319
<v Speaker 1>I don't understand. If you see some dude in Yamica,

1772
01:37:33.319 --> 01:37:37.800
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna make fun of him. Like sometimes people wear

1773
01:37:38.239 --> 01:37:41.119
<v Speaker 1>a little you know, their faith literally on their well

1774
01:37:41.239 --> 01:37:43.800
<v Speaker 1>not on their sleeve, but on their neck or on

1775
01:37:43.840 --> 01:37:46.359
<v Speaker 1>their head or whatever it is. But no, they wrote

1776
01:37:46.359 --> 01:37:50.039
<v Speaker 1>a whole damn article about this thing on red carpet

1777
01:37:50.159 --> 01:37:54.399
<v Speaker 1>social media and protests by high ranking Democrats necklaces with

1778
01:37:54.479 --> 01:37:58.359
<v Speaker 1>cross pendants. Well maybe that's the story. The Democrat protests

1779
01:37:58.680 --> 01:38:01.079
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna wear cross necklaces. You may ask them if

1780
01:38:01.079 --> 01:38:05.840
<v Speaker 1>they know what it means, but holy literally holy cow man.

1781
01:38:06.880 --> 01:38:10.279
<v Speaker 1>Uh so uh there you go. They you guys should

1782
01:38:10.319 --> 01:38:13.600
<v Speaker 1>get one Christian and one person from Flyover Country. In

1783
01:38:13.600 --> 01:38:17.079
<v Speaker 1>your newsroom because you all just look stupid. Okay, and

1784
01:38:17.079 --> 01:38:20.000
<v Speaker 1>then real quickly, the whole Cogan thing we couldn't figure out,

1785
01:38:20.079 --> 01:38:23.039
<v Speaker 1>Now we figured it out. You remember the weird audio

1786
01:38:23.159 --> 01:38:26.720
<v Speaker 1>from earlier this week where it's just Hogan and you

1787
01:38:26.239 --> 01:38:33.399
<v Speaker 1>know we told you yeah, so uh it is not

1788
01:38:33.680 --> 01:38:38.000
<v Speaker 1>a podcast, but rather it's called Real American Freestyle Wrestling.

1789
01:38:38.800 --> 01:38:42.199
<v Speaker 1>They're they're creating a new sports venture Ross you pumped,

1790
01:38:42.880 --> 01:38:43.560
<v Speaker 1>super excited.

1791
01:38:43.640 --> 01:38:44.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah no, I've thought it over and I'm not.

1792
01:38:45.359 --> 01:38:46.760
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, oh no
