Transcript
- 0:06Speaker 1: Happy Halloween. It's spooky day if you partake. I happen
- 0:10Speaker 1: to love Halloween. I just I don't know why, ever,
- 0:13Speaker 1: figure I've always loved Halloween. Ma Cobbs sense a humor,
- 0:16Speaker 1: who the hell knows, But I hope you enjoy. I
- 0:18Speaker 1: hope you stay safe tonight. At the end of all this,
- 0:20Speaker 1: when we get through the news and the headlines today,
- 0:22Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you my five rules for trick or treaters,
- 0:25Speaker 1: which over the years has gotten spicier because I'm becoming
- 0:27Speaker 1: more of a grumpy old man. But still I think
- 0:29Speaker 1: it applies to everybody. We need to get back to this,
- 0:31Speaker 1: so anyway, we'll talk about that, but of course we
- 0:32Speaker 1: have to talk about what's on everybody's mind today. The
- 0:35Speaker 1: nuclear option. I think it's a game of chicken, unfortunately,
- 0:41Speaker 1: with everybody's lives, you know, at stake with this whole thing.
- 0:44Speaker 1: But I think, as far as I can tell, I
- 0:48Speaker 1: think the administration, Trumpet particular, had to see how far
- 0:51Speaker 1: the Democrats were willing to go before he invoked this,
- 0:53Speaker 1: and now he's calling their bluff, I think. But we're
- 0:56Speaker 1: gonna go through this thing now. The most boring thing
- 0:58Speaker 1: ever on any podcast any radio show, anything is to
- 1:01Speaker 1: read to you and explain things. But I think it
- 1:03Speaker 1: calls for it just to put it into a nutshell
- 1:05Speaker 1: what the nuclear option is, because everybody's talking about it today.
- 1:08Speaker 1: We'll talk about that as well as if you think
- 1:11Speaker 1: that's a scary situation, and it is, and it is,
- 1:14Speaker 1: you know, these are tense times. Think of how it
- 1:17Speaker 1: would have been if the scariest Halloween character of all
- 1:20Speaker 1: time was in charge right now. And I'm talking about
- 1:23Speaker 1: drunk a Loah she is on. I think it's a
- 1:27Speaker 1: book tour. I think that's why she's doing so many
- 1:29Speaker 1: interviews right now. Of course I'm talking abou Kamala Harris.
- 1:32Speaker 1: This is this is a this is a rage infused,
- 1:36Speaker 1: crazy alcoholic woman. I'm telling and I don't care. I
- 1:39Speaker 1: don't care anymore. I'm not holding back. I've got in
- 1:41Speaker 1: trouble in the past before for calling her that. But
- 1:43Speaker 1: you have to hear and see the interview that we're
- 1:46Speaker 1: not gonna play for you on a clip. But I
- 1:48Speaker 1: think this whole thing, this whole shutdown is going to
- 1:51Speaker 1: end soon, not because of the nuclear option, but because
- 1:53Speaker 1: of the pressure from unions that are being put on democrats.
- 1:56Speaker 1: If they lose them. I don't know what else they
- 1:57Speaker 1: have left, but anyway, it's a lot to come, not
- 2:00Speaker 1: all of it's scary. Thanks for finding the Wicked Radio
- 2:02Speaker 1: live stream and then of course a podcast and all
- 2:04Speaker 1: your favorite platforms audio two wherever you like to find that.
- 2:07Speaker 1: Let's get right to it. Let's start with this before
- 2:11Speaker 1: we get into the nuclear option, which has been floated now,
- 2:13Speaker 1: which basically is circumventing the traditional rules and just saying now,
- 2:17Speaker 1: if the hell with it, we're going to pass this thing.
- 2:19Speaker 1: We'll get into that in a second. Let's talk about
- 2:22Speaker 1: the real reason why I think, and I'm no expert,
- 2:24Speaker 1: I'm just like you, why I think just reading the
- 2:26Speaker 1: tea leaves this thing's going to end pretty soon. The
- 2:28Speaker 1: Democrat union, traditionally led Democrat unions, are putting pressure on
- 2:34Speaker 1: the elected Democrats now to end this thing. Like I said,
- 2:38Speaker 1: they lose them. I don't know what they have left,
- 2:40Speaker 1: I really don't. This is the thing that may end
- 2:42Speaker 1: the thing. First and foremost, a video from many of
- 2:44Speaker 1: the aviation industry, and let's just say, air traffic control unions,
- 2:52Speaker 1: everybody that's in charge basically of your flight safety, putting
- 2:56Speaker 1: pressure on Democrats with a video yesterday. This is pretty impactful.
- 2:59Speaker 1: This is something that these folks don't like to do,
- 3:02Speaker 1: but they feel they have to because it's a dangerous situation.
- 3:06Speaker 1: Biggest way to ensure the safety, security and reliability of
- 3:10Speaker 1: our air national air traffic control system is to pass
- 3:13Speaker 1: a clean continuing resolution.
- 3:15Speaker 2: We are concerned that when our brothers and sisters in
- 3:17Speaker 2: TSA and air traffic control are not receiving paychecks, that
- 3:20Speaker 2: they're distracted and that they erode on the margin of
- 3:23Speaker 2: safety that we rely on to go out and operate
- 3:25Speaker 2: our aircraft and do our job safely as well.
- 3:28Speaker 1: Every day that they go to work, they have not
- 3:30Speaker 1: only the weight of one of the most high consequence
- 3:32Speaker 1: jobs in the entire world. Now they're filling how do
- 3:36Speaker 1: I pay for my guess? How do I okay? Just
- 3:38Speaker 1: you know, and it goes on like that, and they're
- 3:39Speaker 1: very impactful verandam glad they did that. And again, these
- 3:41Speaker 1: aren't guys I think that traditionally like to do that.
- 3:44Speaker 1: You have union reps that love to get in front
- 3:46Speaker 1: of a camera, they love to do interviews, they love
- 3:48Speaker 1: to do podcast they love that kind of stuff. Not
- 3:50Speaker 1: those guys. You can kind of tell are just like
- 3:52Speaker 1: you know, the call went out, Hey can you meet
- 3:54Speaker 1: me at my house in Virginia and we'll all do
- 3:56Speaker 1: a video and force the Democrats to wake the hell
- 3:58Speaker 1: up and cut the crap. All right, I guess we
- 4:01Speaker 1: have to. You know, you know, these are the last
- 4:04Speaker 1: people in the world that want to do it, but
- 4:05Speaker 1: the situation is so serious that they feel they have to.
- 4:07Speaker 1: That may be the most impactful of all because everybody understands.
- 4:11Speaker 1: And the first guy that spoke there, one of the
- 4:13Speaker 1: union reps, said clearly, he said it there getting our
- 4:17Speaker 1: elected representatives. He needs Democrats to pass the clean Resolution bill.
- 4:21Speaker 1: It's everybody knows at this point who the players are.
- 4:24Speaker 1: It's the Republicans that wanted the clean Resolution bill. So
- 4:27Speaker 1: that's where that happened. And then you have this. I
- 4:29Speaker 1: don't know where those politicians that happen to be on
- 4:33Speaker 1: the Donkey team on the left side of things go
- 4:36Speaker 1: if they lose the Teamsters. When you've got Teamsters union
- 4:38Speaker 1: reps telling him to cut the crap, Oh boy, this
- 4:41Speaker 1: may be the one.
- 4:42Speaker 3: That you took a position.
- 4:42Speaker 4: I represent one point three million work and men and
- 4:45Speaker 4: women in this country for the international broad out of
- 4:47Speaker 4: teams since we took a position three weeks ago. Pass
- 4:50Speaker 4: the clean cr get to the table and negotiate a dale.
- 4:53Speaker 4: Do not put working people in the middle of a problem.
- 4:55Speaker 4: They should not be in there. And we got to
- 4:57Speaker 4: think about the families that are going to be affected.
- 4:59Speaker 4: Think about and you have to tell your son or
- 5:01Speaker 4: daughter they can't play sports because you're not getting paid.
- 5:04Speaker 4: Think about when you can't pay a mortgage. Think about
- 5:06Speaker 4: when you can't pay a tuition.
- 5:07Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so tonay, You've got all this happening. So
- 5:10Speaker 1: then the pressure's on. They're in a panic already, and
- 5:12Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, then the President comes up
- 5:16Speaker 1: with the final trigger. And again I think it was
- 5:19Speaker 1: a game of chicken, and he wanted to see. He
- 5:20Speaker 1: wanted to see how far the Democrats were willing to
- 5:22Speaker 1: go before we got a real feel for this thing.
- 5:24Speaker 1: But then it came out last night on Truth Social
- 5:26Speaker 1: and of course it went everywhere. Donald J. Trump maybe
- 5:30Speaker 1: have heard of him, writes last night. Because of the
- 5:33Speaker 1: fact that the Democrats of guns don't go crazy. The
- 5:36Speaker 1: choice is clear. Initiate the nuclear option, get rid of
- 5:39Speaker 1: the filibuster, and make America great again. Before we get
- 5:43Speaker 1: into it. And again, I don't want to like do
- 5:45Speaker 1: some dissertation and read what this is all about, because
- 5:47Speaker 1: it's deadly to listen to. Let me just say that
- 5:50Speaker 1: this has been floated now for just about a month
- 5:53Speaker 1: since this thing began. One of the first people I'll
- 5:56Speaker 1: give her credit. It may not like her, he may
- 5:58Speaker 1: think she's a little looney, but at least she's willing
- 6:00Speaker 1: to fight. One of the first people to call for
- 6:02Speaker 1: this thing was MGT Marjorie MTG. We got that backwards,
- 6:06Speaker 1: Marjorie Taylor Green. This was an infull Wars interview. This
- 6:09Speaker 1: was back on October third. She called for and she's
- 6:12Speaker 1: not alone.
- 6:12Speaker 5: Need to be passing Republican appropriation bills, and the Senate
- 6:16Speaker 5: can get it through to the President's desk by using
- 6:19Speaker 5: the nuclear option. They can use the nuclear option on
- 6:23Speaker 5: any piece of legislation, overriding the sixty vote rule and
- 6:27Speaker 5: helping legislation get to President Trump's desk to make it
- 6:31Speaker 5: a law. Here's what's important for everyone to understand everything
- 6:35Speaker 5: you've voted.
- 6:35Speaker 1: And then she went on about, you know, making her
- 6:37Speaker 1: case for why it's so important, which everybody understands. Everybody
- 6:39Speaker 1: understands that now and they're starting to really even normal
- 6:42Speaker 1: everyday people who pay no attention to this stuff understand
- 6:45Speaker 1: who's to blame for this. I think they understand that.
- 6:47Speaker 1: So last thing in the world. I have any interest
- 6:50Speaker 1: in doing a city here and reading the definition of
- 6:52Speaker 1: the nuclear option as far as the filibuster rule, but
- 6:55Speaker 1: in a nutshell, I think it does call for a
- 6:57Speaker 1: little bit of that. So just play along with me here,
- 7:00Speaker 1: because we're all asking the question, well, if they can
- 7:03Speaker 1: use this nuclear option, why don't they do that all
- 7:06Speaker 1: the time, Because it comes with a counter effect that
- 7:09Speaker 1: means the other side, the other team, can do it
- 7:11Speaker 1: with everything they're trying to pass when they're in power.
- 7:12Speaker 1: Blah blah, blah blah blah. As it stands right now,
- 7:15Speaker 1: we know how this works. The filibuster role in this
- 7:19Speaker 1: is it gives the opposition, the minority opposition, chance to
- 7:22Speaker 1: chime in with this. This is the sixty vote, so
- 7:23Speaker 1: that they can all be in agreement and they all
- 7:25Speaker 1: pass something as Congress together, right, so they all have
- 7:28Speaker 1: a chance. They haven't been able to come up with
- 7:30Speaker 1: the sixty The Republicans haven't because there's been enough Democrats
- 7:34Speaker 1: opposing the Clean Resolution Bill to keep the government funded.
- 7:37Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. What does the nuclear option do? Again?
- 7:39Speaker 1: In the nutshell? Just to summarize, So what they do
- 7:42Speaker 1: is is just make it a simple point of order
- 7:46Speaker 1: here and they just vote as the majority to say
- 7:48Speaker 1: we're going to ignore that, we're going to do an
- 7:50Speaker 1: end around. We're going to pass it anyway despite them.
- 7:53Speaker 1: And you're thinking, well, couldn't they just do that all
- 7:55Speaker 1: the time anyway they're in power. It's a little bit
- 7:57Speaker 1: trickier than that because once you've kind of entered into
- 8:01Speaker 1: this territory, then you're there wherever, and then you have
- 8:04Speaker 1: minority opposition basically having no power. So the nuclear option
- 8:08Speaker 1: would actually do that. It basically makes the filibuster option
- 8:11Speaker 1: that's sixty ineffective because it overrides the ruling. It rewrites
- 8:15Speaker 1: the rules mid season. That's what it does. And they
- 8:18Speaker 1: can do it. They've always been able to do it.
- 8:19Speaker 1: They could have done this at the first place, but
- 8:21Speaker 1: they wanted to give the Democrats a chance and, like
- 8:23Speaker 1: I said, a game of chicken to see how far
- 8:26Speaker 1: they were willing to go. But now they're probably willing
- 8:28Speaker 1: to do it. So here we are. You've got what
- 8:30Speaker 1: we talked about yesterday tomorrow the snap benefits run out.
- 8:35Speaker 1: That's pressure on everybody, which there's a lot of people
- 8:37Speaker 1: who claim that that's what the Democrats want. They want
- 8:39Speaker 1: absolute mass chaos in the streets. Maybe Republicans too, I
- 8:42Speaker 1: don't know. You've got that happening now. You have Union
- 8:44Speaker 1: reps that traditionally vote Democrat and endorse Democrat politicians telling
- 8:48Speaker 1: them to cut the crap and pass this thing one
- 8:50Speaker 1: way or the other. And you've got President Trump now
- 8:53Speaker 1: invoking the thought of losing the nuclear option to run
- 8:56Speaker 1: an end around and pass it anyway. That's where we
- 8:59Speaker 1: are now, which is why I think, not being an
- 9:01Speaker 1: expert on these things, but just somebody that pays attention
- 9:03Speaker 1: to this like you do, I think we're nearing the
- 9:06Speaker 1: end of this. I think there's too much pressure not
- 9:07Speaker 1: to get it done. I'll go to one other elected politician,
- 9:11Speaker 1: another Democrat, to talk about here, who's been fascinating to
- 9:14Speaker 1: watch on this. One of the Democrats that has voted
- 9:18Speaker 1: in the Senate to get this government funded is John Fetterman.
- 9:22Speaker 1: You know him, the big bald guy had a stroke
- 9:24Speaker 1: recovered from that. He's from Pennsylvania. Fascinating. He said this
- 9:27Speaker 1: all along. I think just the other day, I think
- 9:29Speaker 1: it was the day before yesterday, I played an interview
- 9:31Speaker 1: from him too, saying this is ridiculous and he will
- 9:33Speaker 1: not stand by his party. As you know, people who
- 9:37Speaker 1: are dependent on welfare benefits will go hungry. Is another
- 9:41Speaker 1: one he just did yesterday.
- 9:42Speaker 2: So what are you hearing back home about you SNAP
- 9:44Speaker 2: expiring on Saturday.
- 9:46Speaker 6: I'm saying that I will witness it firsthand. My wife, Giselle,
- 9:52Speaker 6: she develops the free store and our community and it
- 9:56Speaker 6: distributes food three times a week, and her lines have
- 9:59Speaker 6: already he got longer. And now I will encounter people
- 10:04Speaker 6: that have no SNAP benefits starting on Saturday, and I
- 10:10Speaker 6: don't have an explanation for them. All I could say
- 10:13Speaker 6: is I'm sorry. It's an absolute failure what occurred here
- 10:17Speaker 6: for the last month, and now things are really going
- 10:21Speaker 6: to land. And imagine being a parent with a couple
- 10:26Speaker 6: kids and how you're going to fill their refrigerator and
- 10:31Speaker 6: pack their lunches and get on again.
- 10:35Speaker 1: He's broken with from the beginning. He's broken with his
- 10:38Speaker 1: counterparts in the Democrat Party. Do you have we all
- 10:40Speaker 1: need to understand what kind of cahonies, what kind of
- 10:43Speaker 1: balls that takes, because we know how that works. When
- 10:45Speaker 1: you go against your party rules, they will end you.
- 10:47Speaker 1: They will just end you. He might be public enemy
- 10:49Speaker 1: number one for not going along with them. They are
- 10:52Speaker 1: pissed off majorly for him because he's the one making
- 10:55Speaker 1: the most sense. He's the one that actually has the
- 10:57Speaker 1: guts despite the fact that the blockage is coming from
- 11:00Speaker 1: his party to say no, this is wrong. I won't
- 11:02Speaker 1: stand with them, and I'm going to vote to keep
- 11:03Speaker 1: this going because my constituents are more important. Last person
- 11:07Speaker 1: who was on the Democrat side of things in Congress
- 11:10Speaker 1: who did that was Telsea Gabbert. You know what they
- 11:12Speaker 1: tried to do for it. They put her on a
- 11:13Speaker 1: terror watch list. For God's sakes. That guy's an amazing
- 11:17Speaker 1: story and takes a lot of guts to do what
- 11:19Speaker 1: he's doing. Besides the fact that I think it's something
- 11:24Speaker 1: we all when he got elected, he's amazing and just
- 11:27Speaker 1: you know, side note here, just talking about his personal story.
- 11:30Speaker 1: I'm fascinated by him. We all made fun of him
- 11:32Speaker 1: when he got elected because unfairly too, because when he
- 11:36Speaker 1: got elected he literally had just had a stroke. You
- 11:39Speaker 1: might remember when he got elected to the Senate could
- 11:44Speaker 1: not put a sentence together, like he couldn't do it.
- 11:47Speaker 1: He was a recovering stroke patient, like literally, I mean
- 11:50Speaker 1: that's again, go back and look at the videos. But
- 11:53Speaker 1: he made fun of him. I think the common narrative
- 11:56Speaker 1: at the time was that Democrats will vote for anybody,
- 11:58Speaker 1: even this guy can't even talk, he said, and he
- 12:01Speaker 1: was right at the time. John Fetterman said, I'm gonna
- 12:03Speaker 1: recover from this. A doctor say, I'm fine, I'm gonna
- 12:05Speaker 1: keep working at it. Listen to him now, listen. That's
- 12:09Speaker 1: unbelievable on its own. God love him for doing that.
- 12:12Speaker 1: That's I mean, that's incredible. Also, can I throw this
- 12:16Speaker 1: in there, I've asked the question, maybe you have too.
- 12:20Speaker 1: This is a guy who had a stroke. Basically his
- 12:23Speaker 1: brain was rewired and recovered from it. Right all of
- 12:27Speaker 1: a sudden, Can I point this out not get into
- 12:29Speaker 1: too much trouble. All of a sudden, after recovering from
- 12:32Speaker 1: the stroke, rewiring his brain and thinking about things, he's
- 12:36Speaker 1: making a ton of common sense. Is there a connection there?
- 12:40Speaker 1: I this this should be studied for decades on on
- 12:46Speaker 1: how this guy has come to be. I mean, this
- 12:48Speaker 1: is a rewiring of guy's brain and it came back
- 12:51Speaker 1: to making a ton of sense. It's amazing to me.
- 12:55Speaker 1: Would you ever expect him to, like, maybe switch parties?
- 12:58Speaker 1: I don't know about that, but that God, there's a
- 13:01Speaker 1: common sense vote and somebody that has the guts to
- 13:02Speaker 1: stand up for his people and you know, people over
- 13:05Speaker 1: party and country over party first, God love them. What
- 13:08Speaker 1: would the exact opposite of that be? As scary as
- 13:11Speaker 1: things seem now, and it seems like everything's all tense,
- 13:14Speaker 1: and they are, and you know, all this is coming
- 13:15Speaker 1: to a head, and it's constant interruption, it's constant chaos.
- 13:19Speaker 1: First thing you got to remember is it's always been
- 13:21Speaker 1: that way, but now there's finally some pushback. So that's
- 13:23Speaker 1: you know, trying to come up with a solution to
- 13:25Speaker 1: these things. As scary as that seems to you and me,
- 13:29Speaker 1: can you imagine if we had this lady in charge
- 13:33Speaker 1: right now? I'm not gonna well, maybe I will. I'm
- 13:36Speaker 1: not afraid to say it anymore. I've gotten in trouble
- 13:38Speaker 1: in the past for saying she's a drunk. I believe
- 13:39Speaker 1: that completely. I think she's got substance abuse problems. But
- 13:43Speaker 1: there's something else. There is a raging anger in Kamala
- 13:46Speaker 1: Harris that I can't really explain. And the reason why
- 13:51Speaker 1: she's doing so many interviews these days is she's got
- 13:53Speaker 1: a book out. You know, she's pushing for her thing.
- 13:55Speaker 1: I think she said on an interview the other day.
- 13:57Speaker 1: She's doing all the podcasts. She said in the interview
- 13:59Speaker 1: the other day that she's not done yet. She will
- 14:01Speaker 1: run again. I don't know, but imagine her in charge
- 14:04Speaker 1: in this in these way?
- 14:05Speaker 3: Are you fucking kidding me? This guy wants to create
- 14:08Speaker 3: a ballroom for his rich friends while completely turning a
- 14:13Speaker 3: blind eye to the fact that that babies are gonna
- 14:15Speaker 3: starve when the snap benefits end in just hours from now.
- 14:19Speaker 3: Come on, so what I'm not gonna be distracted by? Oh,
- 14:23Speaker 3: does the guy have a big fucking hammer?
- 14:25Speaker 1: Whoa hold on here, lady. Nobody else is swearing on
- 14:29Speaker 1: the podcast, but you dropping two f bombs in like
- 14:32Speaker 1: a fifteen second clip. There is a rage in her
- 14:35Speaker 1: that is very revealing now, And I'm sorry, can you
- 14:39Speaker 1: imagine her being in charge of the nuclear option for real?
- 14:45Speaker 1: Not in the Senate, I mean in the world. So
- 14:49Speaker 1: as scary as that may be, could have been a
- 14:52Speaker 1: hell of a lot worse, not only getting her facts wrong,
- 14:56Speaker 1: by the way, but you know, also being in a
- 14:58Speaker 1: rage about it. Is that required? By the way? Is
- 15:02Speaker 1: that required? Like if you happen to see as somebody
- 15:05Speaker 1: at the Halloween party tonight, or kids walking around the street,
- 15:08Speaker 1: or you know, adult t Halloween costumes, people going as Kamlae,
- 15:11Speaker 1: it'll probably be a very very big gift, a very
- 15:15Speaker 1: big uh costume, I would imagine, because she's still so
- 15:18Speaker 1: much in the public eye. Is it required costuming that
- 15:21Speaker 1: it comes with like a vodka off fake vodka bottle
- 15:23Speaker 1: or something?
- 15:24Speaker 5: Got it there?
- 15:25Speaker 1: I go get in trouble again. Speaking of trick or treating.
- 15:27Speaker 1: Though it is Halloween, let's lighten this up a little,
- 15:30Speaker 1: I will say lighten it up. In my world, it's
- 15:31Speaker 1: lightning it up. But as I do this every single year,
- 15:34Speaker 1: it's getting spicier and spicier, because, let's fix it, I'm
- 15:37Speaker 1: getting older, so you know, I'm getting that old man
- 15:40Speaker 1: thing where it's like, but I have rules for trick
- 15:44Speaker 1: or treaters, for you to share with your life and
- 15:46Speaker 1: your trick or treaters. These are my personal rules. Take
- 15:50Speaker 1: them for what they're worth. But as they come to
- 15:52Speaker 1: the house today, this is if you partake. I don't
- 15:54Speaker 1: know if you're into Halloween or not, whether you have
- 15:56Speaker 1: kids coming. Maybe you're in a neighborhood, but there's not
- 15:58Speaker 1: a lot of kids. I don't know, But these I
- 16:00Speaker 1: think are the rules we should all settle on for
- 16:02Speaker 1: trick or treaters coming to the house. First of all,
- 16:04Speaker 1: let's talk about the most controversial thing, the one piece rule.
- 16:08Speaker 1: One piece of candy for everybody, right, come on, candy's
- 16:12Speaker 1: expensive these days. We just talked about it. What is
- 16:14Speaker 1: it up? Twenty percent this year one piece each, which
- 16:18Speaker 1: later on, as you see, can be broken. That's the
- 16:20Speaker 1: first rule that can be broken. Number two, but I
- 16:22Speaker 1: think we can all agree on this. You have to
- 16:24Speaker 1: say something. You have to show up as a kid
- 16:26Speaker 1: to the door, ring at the doorbell. You have to
- 16:28Speaker 1: at least say trick or treat or Happy Halloween to
- 16:30Speaker 1: get any candy. Right. This is something. This is something
- 16:33Speaker 1: I've begun to insist on, Like when they show up
- 16:35Speaker 1: and they just hand out a bag like this, Like,
- 16:39Speaker 1: what do you say? I hate to be that guy,
- 16:41Speaker 1: but I'm gonna put some effort into it. By the way,
- 16:45Speaker 1: speaking of effort, and this is where I'm gonna break
- 16:47Speaker 1: rule number one. The one piece rule can certainly be
- 16:50Speaker 1: broken if you do this. I really admire the families
- 16:54Speaker 1: that have the kid walk up to the house alone.
- 16:57Speaker 1: You know, it's completely supervised, of course, but you know,
- 17:00Speaker 1: the mom or the dad or maybe the whole family
- 17:02Speaker 1: with the wagon is at the end of the driveway,
- 17:04Speaker 1: but they but the kid says no, no, no, I got it.
- 17:06Speaker 1: It walks up and rings the doorbell, or says trick
- 17:08Speaker 1: or treat a lot, you know, being a brave little
- 17:11Speaker 1: little person that deserves more than one piece of candy.
- 17:14Speaker 1: I mean, come on, you walk up solo. That's pretty
- 17:18Speaker 1: damn good. You know, I got I'll give a little
- 17:21Speaker 1: bit more if that happens. But number four, no effort whatsoever,
- 17:27Speaker 1: Like in the costume, like nothing, you threw something on,
- 17:30Speaker 1: like you didn't even try. No, there's nothing there to
- 17:33Speaker 1: be given. I'm sorry, you got you got it. You
- 17:35Speaker 1: gotta spice it up a little bit. If you didn't
- 17:37Speaker 1: even try to put on a costume or something, you
- 17:39Speaker 1: gotta at least, you know, entertain me, do a trick
- 17:41Speaker 1: for a treat or something. I don't know. And number five,
- 17:44Speaker 1: No one over five to ten should be trick or treating,
- 17:48Speaker 1: and you're saying, well, there's some kids that are very
- 17:50Speaker 1: tall at a young age. I understand that, but in general,
- 17:53Speaker 1: you shouldn't be You shouldn't like be driving on your
- 17:56Speaker 1: own and trick or treating. I mean, come on, what
- 17:58Speaker 1: do you like in college? Come on that you can't
- 18:01Speaker 1: be You can't even be approaching my height and I'm
- 18:04Speaker 1: like six feet, but you can't be close to my
- 18:06Speaker 1: height and still trick or treating. I don't want to
- 18:08Speaker 1: look up to you and have to give you candy
- 18:10Speaker 1: because that tells me that you're like probably you know,
- 18:14Speaker 1: close to AARP benefits or something. I don't know, but
- 18:16Speaker 1: those are my rules. Take them for what you will,
- 18:20Speaker 1: and you probably if you follow most of these rules,
- 18:22Speaker 1: you probably gotta get your house eggs. So I don't know,
- 18:24Speaker 1: maybe you should just throw these away the hell those,
- 18:26Speaker 1: but have Halloween, enjoy it. Let's hope that this government
- 18:29Speaker 1: shutdown ends very soon the right way. Maybe it won't
- 18:32Speaker 1: take the nuclear option. Who the hell knows, But if
- 18:36Speaker 1: I was to read the tea leaves, I'm not good
- 18:38Speaker 1: at predictions, but I would say pretty soon, who the
- 18:41Speaker 1: hell knows? Here' sso you take away, enjoy it. Happy Halloween.
- 18:44Speaker 1: Please be safe. And by the way, I always throw
- 18:46Speaker 1: this PSA out there. It's Friday night. It's great night
- 18:49Speaker 1: for Halloween's great night for trick or treating and parties
- 18:52Speaker 1: and all that good stuff. But just careful driving around.
- 18:55Speaker 1: There's a lot of kids out on the road and
- 18:56Speaker 1: a lot of them have masks on. They can't see
- 18:58Speaker 1: you and you can see them. So everybody be safe,

- 19:36Speaker 1: and you're gonna say Oh, I just don't deal with
