Speaker 1: Jack White's Instagram post about what happened at the baseball
Speaker 1: game he went to in Japan?
Speaker 5: Sorry, go ahead. He was sitting with Bill Murray.
Speaker 2: That was that was a coincidence. That was not planned. Really.
Speaker 1: He went to a major League baseball game on the
Speaker 1: other side of the world in Japan, got to his
Speaker 1: seats and he was sitting next to Bill Murray.
Speaker 2: Wow, that is wild smaller world than you think.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I remember when I went to Italy and I'm
Speaker 4: taking a tour. What's the last supper? He's in the
Speaker 4: last supper of the painting. You've seen it, all right,
Speaker 4: go into.
Speaker 3: The last supper in Italy before you went back.
Speaker 2: Boy, I would love to go back and have more
Speaker 2: suppers there.
Speaker 4: But seeing he took a tour of a painting, well,
Speaker 4: a tour of the church and the yeah, whatever, Yes,
Speaker 4: there's twenty yal.
Speaker 2: Seventeenth chapel the eighteenth.
Speaker 4: There's twenty people on the tour or whatever, because it's
Speaker 4: you're not allowed to have more than that, okay, because
Speaker 4: they don't want someone bum right and destroying the painting
Speaker 4: My protesters have done for And I meet a guy
Speaker 4: who is a big listener of ninety seven to one.
Speaker 2: All right, well it's again, it's over a year ago.
Speaker 4: But the world's smaller than you think. And that's how
Speaker 4: Jack White could end up next to Bill Murray. These
Speaker 4: things happening. You could be on the other side of
Speaker 4: the world and run into someone who knows you or
Speaker 4: ostensibly knows you.
Speaker 2: Yep, that was really good by Kevin. That's true.
Speaker 4: Cell phone bands that launched into some North Texas schools
Speaker 4: in recent years may be expanded statewide. Now we've talked
Speaker 4: about this because Richardson ISD and Lake Highland's High School
Speaker 4: have forked out money to get those yonder pouches so
Speaker 4: kids can't have their phones during class.
Speaker 2: But not everyone's doing that. And right now legislation's happening.
Speaker 4: For one hundred and forty days, they actually have to
Speaker 4: go to work, you know, I mean out look, I've
Speaker 4: said a lot about our politicians. I think a lot
Speaker 4: of them half asset. I think a lot of them hide.
Speaker 4: But for this one hundred and forty days, you got
Speaker 4: to go in and we actually talk about some stuff.
Speaker 4: And this is all these bills that are on Capitol Hill.
Speaker 4: You know, this is what happens. So they're discussing a bill.
Speaker 4: The thing that was interesting to me about this new
Speaker 4: bill that they're debating is the guy who has proposed
Speaker 4: this bill is a twenty six year old representative, so
Speaker 4: a gen Z representative. He said the constant use of
Speaker 4: phones is contributing to a mental health crisis. It's triggering
Speaker 4: classroom management problems for teachers. I remember, just you know,
Speaker 4: less than a decade ago, trying to sneak my phone
Speaker 4: into the high school classroom, and I was like, okay,
Speaker 4: I saw that, and I was like, okay, why was
Speaker 4: he sneaking it? Because they were always allowed, So what
Speaker 4: do you mean? The point is he is the one
Speaker 4: who started this, and I think it's wild that someone
Speaker 4: of that generation is proposing this bill.
Speaker 2: It's smart.
Speaker 3: Look, I if I was a teacher, that would drive
Speaker 3: me nuts. It drives me nuts just being out about you.
Speaker 3: Look around and everyone's on their phone, not enjoying in
Speaker 3: the moment being present, And then I got to go
Speaker 3: get on my phone, and then they're looking at me, going,
Speaker 3: hey man, how come you can't ask it?
Speaker 2: Like we're all buried. We all have our heads buried
Speaker 2: in our phones. It is.
Speaker 3: It does shock me when I can text my seventeen
Speaker 3: year old and I expect him to just get to
Speaker 3: it whenever, and he responds in class immediately, and I'm like,
Speaker 3: oh my gosh, really.
Speaker 2: I had it out, big deal.
Speaker 1: My son is on his phone constantly and responds to
Speaker 1: text messages three weeks later it's unbelievable genius.
Speaker 2: Honestly, I don't I don't mind them doing this.
Speaker 3: I think it would help, but it's not going to
Speaker 3: cure this disease we all have where we're addicted to
Speaker 3: our phones.
Speaker 4: Well, we can't just sit here and go and say, okay,
Speaker 4: well that's a law. Now though, we have to debate this,
Speaker 4: and yesterday's hearing, this is what happened. There was bipartisan support. Oh,
Speaker 4: let's go, which never happens never. So, but the problem
Speaker 4: that they run into is two questions. Question number one,
Speaker 4: who's going to pay for those pouches? Yeah, Richard's and
Speaker 4: d It was three hundred thousand dollars a day, forked out,
Speaker 4: get us pouches for eight camp.
Speaker 1: That would have been a good two bedroom, one bathroom
Speaker 1: home over there by Richardson High School.
Speaker 4: So this is how things like, Yeah, I think we
Speaker 4: should not let students have their phone in their classroom,
Speaker 4: but how are we gonna pay for it? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I guess let them have their phone. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Question two that they were running into, and we have
Speaker 4: a quote from a representative from down in Houston. She says,
Speaker 4: I'm just thinking about the Uvaldi case and it was
Speaker 4: the children who made the nine to one one calls fair.
Speaker 5: I thought that too. If there's an emergency, how do
Speaker 5: you contact your parents?
Speaker 4: Well, this is where I would say something controversial, but
Speaker 4: I won't, you know, somebody, because there's a bigger picture issue.
Speaker 3: I was talking to somebody about local elections and it
Speaker 3: was somebody were telling me about town council and stuff
Speaker 3: that's happening out in the neck of the woods where
Speaker 3: I live. And they said that they expect voter turnout
Speaker 3: to be somewhere between six and eight percent.
Speaker 4: Hell yeah, man, that's good. That's pretty good, Like pretty great.
Speaker 3: The people who are actually in invested in caring and
Speaker 3: getting out.
Speaker 2: It's nuts, man, I have a concept.
Speaker 1: Instead of spending all this money on these phone pouches,
Speaker 1: you want to really save some money. I mean, I
Speaker 1: know that's happening on the federal level right now. We're
Speaker 1: just slashing programs. What if we were to get rid
Speaker 1: of schools two one, four, seven, eight seven one night.
Speaker 4: Given that the Department of Education is now run by
Speaker 4: Vince McMahon's wife, I mean, I gotta say yeap, Like
Speaker 4: when the person in charge of the Department of Education,
Speaker 4: Like when you've seen her get body slammed in a bit.
Speaker 2: You're like, I know, this is tough for me to
Speaker 2: wrap my head.
Speaker 1: Around what I hear people that work in the school
Speaker 1: business talk about what's happening at school board meetings and
Speaker 1: what parents are saying all that. I'm like, you know what,
Speaker 1: I tell you what, why don't we just get rid
Speaker 1: of the schools and you go raise your dumb kid
Speaker 1: and we'll see how it turns out.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I got TikTok to be teachers. Now.
Speaker 2: I don't know why any buddy wants to get in
Speaker 2: that arena. It's tough. It's bad.
Speaker 3: You know, parents are the most irrational humans on earth. Like,
Speaker 3: no matter what, if it involves your kids, you're not
Speaker 3: going to be rational. And then if you're pretty much
Speaker 3: stirred up and irrational in general, I mean, that is
Speaker 3: just a nightmare.
Speaker 2: It's brtal. I couldn't do it. Get rid of the
Speaker 2: damn schools.
Speaker 1: Get rid of them, save all that money, and you
Speaker 1: can raise your dumb, idiotic kid again.
Speaker 2: Feel free to call in two and four seven eight seven,
Speaker 2: one kid get dumber by the second.
Speaker 4: Yesterday, more than thirty one thousand pages of class that
Speaker 4: they were classified documents related to the JFK assassination were
Speaker 4: released and put on the National Archives website.
Speaker 2: How many thirty one thousand pages.
Speaker 4: Trump said they'll be releasing eighty thousand pages eventually, saying,
Speaker 4: we have a tremendous amount of paper.
Speaker 2: You got a lot of reading to do.
Speaker 5: That's like an entire forest.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a lot of papers, but it's all in
Speaker 4: PDF form on the website, so it's not like.
Speaker 3: Actually, need somebody to read it for me. Yeah, well,
Speaker 3: that's a long book. Come back and tell me like
Speaker 3: the main parts. It sounds like there's a bunch of
Speaker 3: like story building. I need to like, what are the
Speaker 3: key points?
Speaker 4: I got an interest, Like, did an email from the
Speaker 4: Dallas Morning News last night and it's like we have
Speaker 4: our our staff, you know, going through the files now
Speaker 4: and it's like a kind of a seven pmish email,
Speaker 4: And I was like, Okay, so there's stuff. You gonna
Speaker 4: have to read that for the next week. Like it's
Speaker 4: gonna take a long ass time. Many people have studied
Speaker 4: what's been released so far by the government say the
Speaker 4: public should not anticipate any earth chattering news to come
Speaker 4: from this.
Speaker 2: Plus everybody that's in it's old dead now right, Well.
Speaker 4: That's what I've lost my kind of give a crap,
Speaker 4: and I think it's because of just being too close
Speaker 4: to it. This is what people know our city for
Speaker 4: is kind of that in the TV show Dallas and
Speaker 4: Cows like. So it's kind of like I'm bored with it.
Speaker 4: But there was a time when I was interested in this. Yeah,
Speaker 4: but I imagine, dude, would your kids even understand? Your
Speaker 4: kids understand your kids are? Yeah, that's a weird question. Well, yeah,
Speaker 4: would y'all kids understand an assassination?
Speaker 2: What do they know about the j assassination? Man, I
Speaker 2: don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know if they know who the current president is.
Speaker 1: I really don't know what my kids are following. I
Speaker 1: really have no idea.
Speaker 2: Is it on TikTok? Yeah? Yeah, well I mean it
Speaker 2: might be.
Speaker 4: Now after this, y'all should go interview your kids and
Speaker 4: just just ask them what they like, Tell me what
Speaker 4: you know about the JFK assassination. Okay, just leave it simple,
Speaker 4: don't don't feed them in the bait here and just
Speaker 4: let them okay, see because I I don't know.
Speaker 2: Okay, that'd also interviewed my wife.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that'd be cool if our kid was like, is
Speaker 1: that the guy that ate the whale meat?
Speaker 2: That's the guy that put the bear carcass in such
Speaker 2: a part. All right, there you have it coming up next.
Speaker 3: And around the sports, are the cowboys about to pay
Speaker 3: a bunch of money to another player we'll discuss next
