  Speaker 1: It's KSEV Mornings with Craig Collins and Wayne Dolcefino.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: I didn't just say anything stupid.
• 0:05
  Speaker 3: By anything stupid, I mean anything at all.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: No, it's crazy.
• 0:08
  Speaker 4: Welcome to the Thunderdome, people.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: News, opinions, politics, and the stories that matter to Texans.
• 0:15
  Speaker 5: I shaved for this?
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Here are your hosts, Craig Collins and Wayne Dolcefino.
• 0:21
  Speaker 6: Remember, everyone, just don't be yourselves.
• 0:23
  Speaker 7: On KSEV AM 700, the voice of Texas.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Yes!
• 0:28
  Speaker 8: That's awesome!
• 0:29
  Speaker 9: Ah!
• 0:34
  Speaker 10: And now, Craig Collins and Wayne Dolcefino.
• 0:37
  Speaker 8: That's right.
• 0:38
  Speaker 6: It is the KSTV Morning Show. My name is Craig Collins,
• 0:43
  Speaker 6: and I am not filling in. This is my regular
• 0:46
  Speaker 6: show that I do all the time. I like that
• 0:48
  Speaker 6: I pretend that I'm filling in, or at least in
• 0:51
  Speaker 6: my brain, I think about it as a fill-in shift
• 0:53
  Speaker 6: when Wayne's not here.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Mostly because I do that a lot of other places.
• 0:57
  Speaker 6: I will actually be a guest host for The Chad
• 1:00
  Speaker 6: Benson Show and Dana Lash today. which is six hours
• 1:05
  Speaker 6: straight back-to-back radio that airs on all kinds of radio
• 1:08
  Speaker 6: stations throughout the country. We don't air one of those
• 1:10
  Speaker 6: shows here. It is aired in Dallas and a bunch
• 1:13
  Speaker 6: of other places.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: We air the other one.
• 1:15
  Speaker 6: So you'll hear me in for Dana for a couple
• 1:17
  Speaker 6: hours a little bit later on today. And I'm excited
• 1:20
  Speaker 6: to do that. But I want to get to a
• 1:22
  Speaker 6: lot of things first. One of the discussions I want
• 1:25
  Speaker 6: to have is about a crazy lefty, a crazy leftist
• 1:28
  Speaker 6: politician who's making a ridiculous argument.
• 1:31
  Speaker 8: Sorry.
• 1:32
  Speaker 6: Let me be a little less yelly so early in
• 1:35
  Speaker 6: the morning at seven o'clock on the radio. He's making
• 1:38
  Speaker 6: a ridiculous argument about illegal immigration and guns because he
• 1:44
  Speaker 6: knows some of the rules. Some of the rules are
• 1:46
  Speaker 6: that if you want to make the right mad, if
• 1:48
  Speaker 6: you want to make conservatives mad, try to equate anything
• 1:52
  Speaker 6: to restricting gun access, to restricting our ability to, you know,
• 1:57
  Speaker 6: enjoy the Second Amendment the way it was supposed to
• 1:59
  Speaker 6: be enjoyed. I love my guns. And I'm a relatively
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: new gun guy. I've only really been using and firing
• 2:06
  Speaker 6: and going to ranges and buying guns.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: For like the last five years of my life.
• 2:11
  Speaker 6: But it's sort of what they say, like with tattoos,
• 2:14
  Speaker 6: you get one and then all of a sudden you
• 2:15
  Speaker 6: have seven and then you have 10.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Although I'm glad I'm not in that world, in the
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: world of tattoos. But yeah, no, guns are amazing. You
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: know that.
• 2:23
  Speaker 8: I know that.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: Most of us know this.
• 2:25
  Speaker 6: But anyway, this crazy leftist, this crazy moron is trying
• 2:28
  Speaker 6: to make the argument that that only letting a subset
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: of people into this country is the same thing as
• 2:34
  Speaker 6: taking away everybody's access or almost everyone's access to guns.
• 2:38
  Speaker 6: Let's see if I can actually get this audio to play,
• 2:41
  Speaker 6: which might be a me problem one more time.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: There it is.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Imagine if just 3% of gun sales were permitted. Many
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: in this room, myself included, would call that gun prohibition.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: But that's how few immigrants seeking permanent legal status in
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: the United States through the proper processes actually get approved.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Why is that, by the way?
• 3:12
  Speaker 11: Hold on.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: I'll jump in here.
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: Why do you think that is, that only 3% of
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: people that apply to become U.S. citizens the right way— by
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: the way, my wife was born in Mexico, is a U.S.
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: citizen— She went through the process. She succeeded because she
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: got married to this guy.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: But anyway, why is that true?
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: Why are there so few people that are succeeding going
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: through proper channels? It's partly because this is not the
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: only reason the court systems are inundated with people that
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: shouldn't be here legally, essentially meaning that you have a
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: ton of cases. and a whole lot of people who
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: don't show up for their court hearing, and a lot
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: of people who've jumped the line and gotten to this
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: country illegally in a way that they shouldn't have, that
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: make it harder for people to come in legally.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: You know who thought that, by the way?
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: You know who believed in that message that I just
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: shared for you on the Chad Benson show, the fancy
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: national show?
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: Barack Obama. Barack Hussein Obama, if I'm trying to be
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: President Trump about it. But he's the one.
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: Who initially said that we can't let people jump the line. Well,
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: he didn't initially say that, but he's more recently said it.
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: And Democrats seem to have abandoned that message. Let's let
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: this idiot continue.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: In a year, for many, there's no legal way at all.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: If you make legal immigration.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Impossible, it's not possible.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Don't complain about illegal immigration. You created it.
• 4:31
  Speaker 8: You made it illegal.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: So, yes, focus on justice for victims, but let peaceful
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: people contribute to this country legally.
• 4:41
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: So essentially that message also means anyone that wants to
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: live in the United States gets to live here.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: And you know what the biggest problem about this is?
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: And I'm going to sound a little bit like a
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: far righty when I say this, but I promise you
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: it just simply is true. I've seen it occur and
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: you've probably seen it occur in some fashion, some sort
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: of news story that you read about. There are people
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: who want to move to our country who hate our country,
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: but they want to live here. which is odd because
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: they seem to actually like a lot of the things
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: that make the United States special. They just don't want
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: to actually support the United States. And inevitably they do
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: harm to someone or a lot of people. And they
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: couch that under the guise of I'm not really an American.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: I just live here. I'm from somewhere else.
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: There are many, many people who don't want to live
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: the American way of life. And if you want someone
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: to immigrate to your country, you want them to respect
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: your country. No, they don't have to completely abandon America.
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: who they were before. I'm going to go back to
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: the example of my wife to kick off the show.
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: Born and raised Mexican, lived in Mexico until her 20s,
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: and then she moved to the United States for school,
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: for college.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: She met me.
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: She did a dumb thing and married this idiot that's
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: talking to you on the microphone today.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: And there we go. There we have it. She is
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: now a U.S.
• 5:57
  Speaker 8: Citizen.
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: She decided to stay when she probably planned on going
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: back home. Wasn't that hard. It did cost a decent
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: amount of money. But it was not an impossible system.
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: And more importantly, since becoming a U.S. citizen, she now
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: believes herself to be from both places, the United States
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: and Mexico. I do a lot of work with veterans
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: through some of the podcast and radio things that I do.
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: And my wife has loved getting to know U.S. veterans
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: and talking about the importance of protecting the United States
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: of America and dealing with people who would willingly give
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: their life to protect the values of our country.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: I remember this.
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: Here, I'll tell you this, too. This wasn't the intent
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: of the start of the show, but I can't help it.
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: Honor Flight is an incredible program. It exists throughout the
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: entire country. There's a bunch of chapters. Wherever you happen
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: to be listening to the show, there's a decent chance
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: that your community or a community close by to you
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: has an Honor Flight group. This group takes people to Washington, D.C.,
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: takes veterans, I should say. to Washington, D.C., mostly now
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: Vietnam guys, to see the war memorials that exist there.
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: And what's amazing about that, and my wife has gotten
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: to ride with me in a police escort where you're
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: going to the airport with heroes, and then a police
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: escort home after the entire journey. There's so many different
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: parts of connecting to the veterans and the people who,
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: as I said, willingly give their lives to to protect
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: the values, the freedoms that exist in our country. And
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: getting to know some of those individuals has turned my
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: wife into a pretty patriotic human that was not born here.
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: A rather patriotic human, I should say, that was not
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: born here. She has the American flags on her cheeks
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: and stuff, little water tattoos when she goes to this
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: kind of stuff.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: And she was born in another country. And those are
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: the kinds of people that we do want.
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: To live here, people who are willing to adopt and
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: accept the value system that we have. And when you
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: have a version of immigration where anybody can come in,
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: there's really no rules. They're allowed to stay for basically
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: any reason they want. We have a lot of people
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: who don't respect that. And then we have a lot
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: of damage to our society. We've seen it. You've seen it.
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: I've seen it. It's not just a political far-right talking
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: point It's a reality.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: All right, let's move on.
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: There's other stuff out there. I thought this was really interesting.
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: I live in Houston, Texas, as I said, to open
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: the show. KSV Mornings is a radio show that I
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: do that you can find anywhere you look for podcasts.
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: But anyway, James Tallarico, who is running for the Senate
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: in Texas and is a far left crazy person by
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: a lot of the things he said just.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: A few years ago. It's not like we're.
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: Resurfacing audio of a guy who said this Twenty five
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: years ago, because, you know, he's been in politics for
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: so long. That was the Joe Biden version of an
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: approach when Biden was running for the office of president.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: And somehow won.
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: I'm still confused about that because there was a lot
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: of votes for a guy that did very few speak.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: Anyway, I won't I won't go there.
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: But nonetheless, when Joe Biden was running for office, you
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: could play audio of him totally disagreeing with himself 15, 20,
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: 30 years ago. As a senator, as a politician in
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: some capacity, as a vice president, it was interesting to
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: watch that sort of stuff occur. For Tallarico, it's three
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: or four years ago. He's a relatively younger guy. I
• 9:28
  Speaker 6: don't even think the time frame given here is true
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: when the Democrat objects on CNN and claims that this
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: happened in 2019.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: That's not accurate. But nonetheless, that part doesn't matter.
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: What matters to me is as they go about this fight,
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: as they go about this argument— part of the discussion
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: for the lefty that's arguing with the conservative on CNN,
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: part of the discussion is, you know what, it doesn't
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: really matter. So here, let's play part of the audio,
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: and then I'll continue to tell you why this is
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: incredibly broken as a.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: Concept, especially when people.
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: are playing audio from James Tallarico when he did a
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: podcast two years ago. not seven years ago, and definitely
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: not 20 years ago.
• 10:09
  Speaker 10: I think that is my advice, is get out there,
• 10:11
  Speaker 10: go on offense, say who you are, but also be very.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: Clear about who James Tallarico is.
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: I mean, do you think it's.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Okay that he said that white men are the biggest
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: domestic terrorist threat to this country?
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: You're a white man.
• 10:20
  Speaker 13: Wait, is he campaigning on that, or was this some
• 10:21
  Speaker 13: comment from, like, 2019 that was kind of cringe that
• 10:23
  Speaker 13: we've all made past?
• 10:24
  Speaker 9: Oh, so people aren't held accountable for their past comments?
• 10:26
  Speaker 13: Ken Paxton, in very recent history.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: You're a.
• 10:28
  Speaker 14: White man, though, so are you the biggest domestic Of course.
• 10:30
  Speaker 13: I don't agree with that, but James Tallarico isn't running
• 10:33
  Speaker 13: on that. When James Tallarico and Ken Paxton are facing off,
• 10:35
  Speaker 13: they're talking about the economy.
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: He's not running on his beliefs, darn it. Why would
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: you tell us that he's running on the things that
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: he believes?
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: How dare you?
• 10:42
  Speaker 13: Ken Paxton is cheating on his wife. James Tallarico is
• 10:44
  Speaker 13: talking about money and politics, while Ken Paxton is taking money...
• 10:47
  Speaker 13: out of the hands of his voters. Like, you realize
• 10:49
  Speaker 13: his own staff turned him in.
• 10:51
  Speaker 8: Who cares?
• 10:51
  Speaker 13: This is just such a.
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: It's not a stupid talking point. It is the basics
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: of who the human being is. You know what's really
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: interesting there? Within that 40-second clip on CNN, the person
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: that is trying to defend James Tallarico and his radical
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: beliefs at all costs, ignore this thing that he said
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: because it's so long ago and he's not even running
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: on it as part of his platform because he'd lose...
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: if he actually used those things that he believes more
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: often as talking points right now. Being fake is not
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: the same as abandoning certain beliefs. I love that they're saying,
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: just listen to what the politician says now.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: But the other part that I really love is during.
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: That rebuttal, our lefty Democrat on CNN, who has a
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: ton of support from everybody else on the panel, also
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: says that Ken Paxton is a morally corrupt man, which
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: is a thing you hear all the time. He's cheating
• 11:44
  Speaker 6: on his wife was the comment there. And Ken Paxton
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: is divorced. He is with somebody else.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: He's not a.
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: Great human being, a perfect human being. I don't know
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: what the right word would be in his private life.
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: But I contend if I'm going to support anyone in politics,
• 12:00
  Speaker 6: the vast majority of these people are probably not great people.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: And actually, you know what? I'll go with a joke.
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: I think it's a Jerry Seinfeld joke that I love
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: a lot about politics in general. And I'm just going
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: to paraphrase it. I'm not going to try to deliver
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: you a Seinfeld joke today. On the show. But the
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: thing I love so much is when he says it's
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: only really crazy people who want to be politicians. You know,
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: maybe it's actually George Carlin. This might not be.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: I think I credit.
• 12:25
  Speaker 6: Seinfeld all the time, but now I'm thinking maybe Carlin
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: said this. It's crazy people, because if you ask yourself, hey,
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: who should be in charge of everything, essentially who should
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: run for president? And your answer is you. You're probably
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: not the normal person out there. You're probably a little
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: a tad strange and or a tad self-obsessed and probably crappy.
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: And there's a lot of things you've done that are
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: probably also crappy, whether it's your belief system, whether it's
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: your behavior, all of that. So at the end of
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: the day, I think the only thing that matters and
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: call me some sort of. you know, radical crazy person
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: for saying this on the show. But I think the
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: only thing that really matters is what you'll do if
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: given power. That's the only question we should ask ourselves
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: about any politicians. What will they do if they are
• 13:14
  Speaker 6: given power? And will the things that they do reflect
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: the things that I want done? Like, it's that simplistic.
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: And for a lot of people in Texas... The way
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: that Ken Paxton has gone about being attorney general is
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: exactly the way that they would want someone to go
• 13:29
  Speaker 6: about being a senator. Texas is red. You can be
• 13:32
  Speaker 6: mad about that in mainstream media if you want to be.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: But it's true. Texas is a red state.
• 13:37
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: And obviously a little bit of this might have been
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: repurposed audio for a fill in shift that I'm doing
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: a little later on because, you know, we're in Texas.
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: We're all here in Texas right now in Houston.
• 13:47
  Speaker 11: All right.
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: We're going to take a break. A lot coming up.

  Speaker 6: This is KSCV Mornings. My name is Craig Collins. Wayne
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: Dolcefino is on special assignment.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: Thrilled to be with you. So much stuff out there
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: to talk about.
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: I want to talk about men playing women's sports, which
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: is an easy topic of conversation for me and probably
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: a lot of you. It's somehow not an easy topic
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: of conversation for the left, which is crazy. And I
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: feel like a theme on today's show is going to
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: be how much of the rhetoric on the left is insane.
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: Because there's a lot of it, and a lot of
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: it is nuts.
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: But this is one of the better ones, and some
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: of the takes out there as far as people on
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: the left go, because they'll say something. And actually, I
• 17:36
  Speaker 6: heard this coming in today. Coming in, I was listening to,
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: is it Red Eye Radio that's on before? Okay, it's
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: Red Eye Radio that's on before Dana and before Russell.
• 17:46
  Speaker 6: And I came into work surprisingly early this morning, so
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: I was listening to Red Eye Radio. And I heard
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: the guys talk about how some people say that having
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: an honest conversation about, say, transgender athletes or dudes playing
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: women's sports can cause someone to hurt themselves. I think
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: the exact argument was that a transgender person, a kid,
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: who hears this is more likely to hurt themselves than
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: if they don't say it out loud. Here's the problem
• 18:15
  Speaker 6: with that way of thinking. And as I said, I'm
• 18:18
  Speaker 6: probably going to get to some audio in a second
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: that is debating men and women's sports. I think this
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: was on Fox, even though It was a Democrat that
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: was yelling certain crazy stuff. But here's the thing that
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: you can't do. You can't censor speech and behave as
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: though the words you're saying themselves are the same thing
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: as trying to hurt someone. Do I want anyone to
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: hurt themselves?
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: Of course I don't. You don't. Most of us don't.
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: There's no rational discussion about this topic where I want
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: someone to harm themselves for any reason, and especially not
• 18:49
  Speaker 6: when you're talking about children. But the reality of saying
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: that I can't talk about facts or also my opinion
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: in general because someone might be so upset in my
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: words that they harm themselves in some way is the
• 19:02
  Speaker 6: type of thinking on the left.
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: That destroys our society.
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: Because the truth is, and I think a lot of
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: parents would say this about their own kids, if you
• 19:11
  Speaker 6: had someone in your family or in your life that
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: was struggling with some sort of identity thing and they're
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: a child, And they're telling you that they're hearing in
• 19:21
  Speaker 6: school classrooms or on television or in social media or
• 19:25
  Speaker 6: something that what they really need to do is, you know,
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: have a surgical procedure that changes their body. As an adult,
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: the thing you do, you look at a kid and
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: you say, I think that you're struggling with something. I'd
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: like to get you someone to talk to about this thing.
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: You get a counselor involved and you deal with a
• 19:42
  Speaker 6: mental health issue long before you change anything about anybody's body.
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: and to train our society and to train mostly kids
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: to believe that that approach is wrong, that that type
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: of conversation is wrong, is so intentionally dangerous in our society.
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: It's so intentionally trying to win an argument by dangling
• 20:02
  Speaker 6: the the threat of, if you say this, you're going
• 20:07
  Speaker 6: to harm some kid out there, which is crazy. But here,
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: I want to play this, because this was an argument
• 20:12
  Speaker 6: being made about women and men playing women's sports and
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: how some people think that it devolves into a world
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: of disrespect and bad things. And again, this was on
• 20:23
  Speaker 6: Fox News. But I think this is a ridiculous place
• 20:26
  Speaker 6: to be in. I think what the Red Eye Radio
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: guys were talking about this morning, the same token. I
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: can be kind. I can be respectful. But I can
• 20:36
  Speaker 6: also be honest. And I can also live in a
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: place of reality. I can do all of those things simultaneously.
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: And especially if I'm trying to influence a kid to
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: go my kid or somebody else's kid, who I hope
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: never to have a conversation with like this. But I
• 20:51
  Speaker 6: can influence someone to seek out professional help on a
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: psychological level, to have a conversation about who they are,
• 20:59
  Speaker 6: who they feel they are, everything mentally and and not
• 21:02
  Speaker 6: do any harm whatsoever to their body. But here, let's
• 21:04
  Speaker 6: play this audio. Actually, I think this is on the
• 21:07
  Speaker 6: wrong thing. I've got to hit a button here, and
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: then I'll fix it. This is a me thing, definitely
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: not a Russell thing.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: And now, here we go. It should work.
• 21:16
  Speaker 14: For what counts as cruelty on the subject. I've been
• 21:19
  Speaker 14: called a transphobe. I've been called all sorts of names
• 21:22
  Speaker 14: in the book for simply saying that biological men are
• 21:25
  Speaker 14: not women and that you actually cannot be a woman
• 21:27
  Speaker 14: if you are a biological man. Apparently, that's also cruel
• 21:30
  Speaker 14: when it's really just reality and it's stating a basic fact.
• 21:33
  Speaker 14: I also think, though, that the California law is an
• 21:36
  Speaker 14: admission that you're on the wrong side of the argument.
• 21:38
  Speaker 14: If you know that what you're doing is so unfair
• 21:41
  Speaker 14: that you actually have to make space for the girls
• 21:43
  Speaker 14: who are being deprived of their own opportunities, of their
• 21:46
  Speaker 14: own successes, on that same podium with those same medals,
• 21:50
  Speaker 14: then you know that it's because you're doing something wrong.
• 21:52
  Speaker 14: So I do think that this goes to the Supreme
• 21:54
  Speaker 14: Court ultimately, you know, because the Supreme Court itself has
• 21:57
  Speaker 14: also not answered the principal question here, which is whether
• 22:00
  Speaker 14: Title IX mandates that there are sex-exclusive spaces for women,
• 22:05
  Speaker 14: for girls, and then also for men.
• 22:07
  Speaker 6: That's actually the wrong clip. The clip is definitely someone
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: in defense of it. I think I have the other
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: clip somewhere. Yeah, it's right here. This is also on Fox.
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: This was the crazy lefty.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: Sorry I played the wrong one, but I love the
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: argument that she's making. Because I agree with that. Here's
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: the other person.
• 22:21
  Speaker 17: Because what I don't like, and we've talked about this
• 22:23
  Speaker 17: a lot, is the language of cruelty that often accompanies
• 22:26
  Speaker 17: this discussion. I'm happy to have the conversation about fairness
• 22:30
  Speaker 17: and safety for women in sports. I played women's sports
• 22:32
  Speaker 17: my whole life. What I don't like is when it
• 22:34
  Speaker 17: transitions in an interesting word I use there in this context.
• 22:38
  Speaker 17: When the conversation then becomes one that is very cruel
• 22:42
  Speaker 17: and dehumanizing towards trans kids who, quite frankly, have enough
• 22:46
  Speaker 17: challenges in their life without politicians piling on every day.
• 22:50
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: Hold on. I'm going to stop right there.
• 23:08
  Speaker 6: Of young people who are saying that they think that
• 23:10
  Speaker 6: they're born in the wrong body, desperately need mental health therapy.
• 23:16
  Speaker 6: And then that mental health therapy will get those kids
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: to a place where they don't want to change their
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: body or themselves.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: Honestly, I'll say, I know this is a.
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: Weird topic to talk about so early in the morning
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: and in such an honest way, but I can't help it.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: I'll say this.
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: I believe that gender dysphoria is a thing. And if
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: you don't know what that is, that's someone who feels
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: like Their body is something they need to be ashamed of.
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: This is the way that I'll oversimplify it.
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: And because of that feeling of shame, they often want
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: to be somebody else. And that somebody else could be
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: somebody of the opposite sex. It could be anything. But
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: that simple feeling of my body is something I'm not
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: proud of or I'm ashamed of is fundamentally different than
• 23:58
  Speaker 6: trying to tell me that this person actually believes that
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: they're the opposite sex and that what we need to
• 24:04
  Speaker 6: do to make them mentally healthy is change their body
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: with surgery and a doctor. Because when you actually go
• 24:11
  Speaker 6: to a mental health professional who sees this as a
• 24:14
  Speaker 6: thing that's a mental health struggle and helps a kid
• 24:17
  Speaker 6: better accept the body that they're in for reasons that
• 24:20
  Speaker 6: go way beyond, again, thinking you're born a different way,
• 24:25
  Speaker 6: that then these kids wind up being people who are
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: very happy with who they are. Kids that are very
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: happy with everything about themselves. I'm not saying this because
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: it was me, by the way. I don't know if
• 24:34
  Speaker 6: my familiarity with this topic Might make some people think, hey,
• 24:38
  Speaker 6: was Craig ever feeling like he was in the wrong body?
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: The answer is no.
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: But I do know somebody in my life who told
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: me that as a child, she, it's a girl, really
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: was jealous of boys because boys seem to be much
• 24:52
  Speaker 6: less worried about what they look like than girls were
• 24:56
  Speaker 6: when she was a little kid. And when she first
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: hit puberty, she would talk a lot about how, and
• 25:00
  Speaker 6: this is stuff I learned from a friend of mine,
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: partly because this topic is so in the news. But
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: my friend told me that when she first hit puberty,
• 25:07
  Speaker 6: she was kind of ashamed of some of the changes
• 25:09
  Speaker 6: that were happening to her. Because, well, even as kids,
• 25:12
  Speaker 6: there were people paying attention to some of those changes.
• 25:15
  Speaker 6: And that made her ashamed because she didn't want that attention.
• 25:19
  Speaker 6: But none of that had anything to do with the
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: person thinking that she was actually supposed to be a boy.
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: And thank God no one told her back then that
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: she was supposed to be a boy.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: Because who knows what she would have thought of that.
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: Who knows how her brain.
• 25:33
  Speaker 6: at a young age would have thought, okay, that's the
• 25:34
  Speaker 6: solution to my problem, because you're susceptible to people, especially adults,
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: telling you any solution to a problem you think you have.
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: But thank God it didn't go that way.
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: That, I think, happens, and that I think we can
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: fix by being honest about this topic.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: All right, quick break. A lot more.
• 25:51
  Speaker 6: This is KSEV Mornings with Craig and Wayne, Wayne Del

  Speaker 19: AccuWeather meteorologist Joe Lundberg.
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: KSEV. KSEV mornings. My name is Craig Collins. Wayne Del
• 28:56
  Speaker 6: Trofino is on special assignment.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: Thrilled to be with you.
• 29:00
  Speaker 6: So much stuff out there to talk about. So many
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: discussions we should be having. And yet part of me
• 29:06
  Speaker 6: kind of wants to play some dumb, silly audio because
• 29:09
  Speaker 6: you can't be serious all the time.
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: That's how I feel, especially on a Friday.
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: I feel like you got to do a couple sillier,
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: lighter things because otherwise we just go insane.
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: And honestly, I'll say one thing.
• 29:22
  Speaker 6: There is a court case that I'm not really talking
• 29:25
  Speaker 6: much about in which a woman is accused of killing
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: her children. You definitely probably know the court case I'm
• 29:30
  Speaker 6: referring to based on just that simple description. And obviously,
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: my feeling is that any individual who did something like
• 29:39
  Speaker 6: that deserves to be punished to the full extent of
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: the law. So the fact that that's not potentially happening
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: is kind of driving me crazy. So that's part of
• 29:47
  Speaker 6: the reason I'm not talking about that topic more is
• 29:50
  Speaker 6: that there's people out there trying to say like she
• 29:54
  Speaker 6: had postpartum depression and it drove her crazy. And that's
• 29:57
  Speaker 6: the reason that she killed her children and then wanted
• 29:59
  Speaker 6: to commit suicide, but didn't. But I don't even know
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: where to go in that discussion other than to say,
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: throw the book at this person, throw her in jail forever.
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: It's horrible.
• 30:11
  Speaker 6: And the fact that I think the attorney representing her
• 30:15
  Speaker 6: was in court the other day going viral for demanding
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: that a juror get kicked off of the jury because
• 30:21
  Speaker 6: this juror seems to think that matters and seems to
• 30:24
  Speaker 6: think any sort of argument taking place in a courtroom–
• 30:28
  Speaker 6: trying to justify behavior as awful as that, as psychosis
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: or whatever.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: You call it.
• 30:33
  Speaker 6: Like so many pieces of that are broken, that entire topic,
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: that part of me just wants to avoid it.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: But I know it's out there. I have been paying
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: attention to it.
• 30:42
  Speaker 6: And my simplistic opinion is that she's guilty and that
• 30:45
  Speaker 6: she deserves to be punished profoundly for the guilt of
• 30:48
  Speaker 6: doing something that horrific. But all right, let's move on.
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: As I said, completely not silly and fun, that opening.
• 30:55
  Speaker 6: But I do have some things that I kind of like.
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: I love this. This is just a palate cleanser.
• 31:00
  Speaker 6: A Walmart worker went viral for saying that it's way
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: too early to have Halloween costumes out, and yet a
• 31:07
  Speaker 6: person who walked in there, a customer, was demanding a
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: specific costume for Here's a little bit of that audio.
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: Again, I thought this was pretty funny.
• 31:14
  Speaker 18: This guy that came up to me with his son
• 31:15
  Speaker 18: and he said that he was just looking for a
• 31:17
  Speaker 18: Flash costume for him for Halloween. And I told him
• 31:19
  Speaker 18: that they're going to have him at the front of
• 31:20
  Speaker 18: the seasonal section where the rest of the Halloween stuff at.
• 31:22
  Speaker 18: He looked at me and was like, we just checked
• 31:24
  Speaker 18: from over there and all we was able to find
• 31:25
  Speaker 18: was Spider-Man and Batman costumes. Can you double check? And
• 31:27
  Speaker 18: I was like, all right, cool. So I went on
• 31:28
  Speaker 18: my phone and checked and see if they had any Flash.
• 31:30
  Speaker 8: Costumes for me.
• 31:31
  Speaker 18: After I got done looking it up, it said N.A.
• 31:32
  Speaker 18: not available on my phone, and I showed them, like, oh,
• 31:34
  Speaker 18: maybe they haven't stocked them up yet. Maybe for right
• 31:36
  Speaker 18: now all they got is the Batman and Spider-Man costumes
• 31:38
  Speaker 18: until they bring these out. Then you want to say,
• 31:40
  Speaker 18: but what if they don't have it later on? That's
• 31:41
  Speaker 18: why I'm trying to get it right now. That's why
• 31:43
  Speaker 18: I'm asking you. Is there a way you can bring
• 31:44
  Speaker 18: it out faster before anybody else buy it? I'm like, sir,
• 31:46
  Speaker 18: how can I bring out the Flash costume when I
• 31:48
  Speaker 18: literally just told you a bunch of times that we
• 31:50
  Speaker 18: don't have the costume anywhere?
• 31:51
  Speaker 8: It doesn't exist!
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I love that.
• 31:53
  Speaker 6: I love a lot about that. I love the anger
• 31:55
  Speaker 6: and the craziness. I was born on Halloween. So Halloween
• 31:59
  Speaker 6: is my birthday. And I do enjoy the holiday, of course,
• 32:03
  Speaker 6: as anybody born on that day would. At the same time,
• 32:06
  Speaker 6: I do think it's ridiculous when most of that Halloween
• 32:09
  Speaker 6: stuff comes out way too early. With one exception. I
• 32:13
  Speaker 6: want to throw out one exception to that rule that
• 32:15
  Speaker 6: I've given before. I think the most ridiculous Halloween decorations.
• 32:19
  Speaker 6: I'm talking about like the 20-foot skeleton costumes. Or not costumes,
• 32:23
  Speaker 6: the 20-foot skeleton costumes. decorations you put on the lawn,
• 32:27
  Speaker 6: those are allowed to be out two months early. And
• 32:29
  Speaker 6: the reason why is for the few dudes who wind
• 32:32
  Speaker 6: up buying those things, they need two months to convince
• 32:35
  Speaker 6: their wife that that's an appropriate purchase.
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: Those guys are allowed to try that hard.
• 32:39
  Speaker 6: In my opinion, they're the only ones that are allowed
• 32:41
  Speaker 6: to do that because again, it's not something they're going
• 32:45
  Speaker 6: to easily achieve. This is something that's going to take
• 32:47
  Speaker 6: multiple conversations, mostly because the price of the item is
• 32:51
  Speaker 6: also ridiculous and they're going to have to pay a
• 32:55
  Speaker 6: the wife to spend that money on that thing. But
• 32:58
  Speaker 6: other than that, everything else can stay behind closed doors
• 33:00
  Speaker 6: for a while.
• 33:01
  Speaker 8: It's too soon. Thank you.
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: It's too soon. For anything, though, even the 20-foot.
• 33:06
  Speaker 8: Yes, it's too soon. Put it up on the 1st
• 33:08
  Speaker 8: of October. I can't stand it. It's like Christmas lights.
• 33:11
  Speaker 8: I love, listen, I'm a huge Christmas fan.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: I have one of the biggest Christmas, Star Wars Christmas
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: displays in my front yard.
• 33:17
  Speaker 8: And I will not put it up until after Thanksgiving.
• 33:19
  Speaker 8: Thanksgiving comes first.
• 33:20
  Speaker 20: Right.
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: Yes, Thanksgiving. Yeah, you're right.
• 33:22
  Speaker 6: You got to celebrate the holidays before Labor Day. Not
• 33:24
  Speaker 6: that you decorate for that. It's kind of weird for Halloween.
• 33:26
  Speaker 6: But what about the argument I'm making that the husband
• 33:29
  Speaker 6: needs two months to convince the wife to buy the
• 33:31
  Speaker 6: 20-foot skeleton?
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: No version there? Like, if you're Star Wars stuff that
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: you own, did you have to convince the missus to
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: buy it?
• 33:38
  Speaker 12: Oh, no.
• 33:38
  Speaker 10: Okay.
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: So she loved it too? She was in for a jump?
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: She didn't exactly love it, but at least the price
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: of all the blow-ups that I have out there, all
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: the Star Wars blow-ups. I have about 10, 11 blow-ups.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: I even put a Millennium Falcon on top of my roof.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: It's a nine-and-a-half-foot Millennium Falcon that I put on the roof.
• 33:59
  Speaker 16: It's cool.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: I'll have to show it to you one day to display,
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: but no, she didn't care for it, but I'll.
• 34:05
  Speaker 8: Just buy it.
• 34:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think that's proof of love, by the way, Bud,
• 34:08
  Speaker 6: that somebody's like, I'm going to buy a 10-foot Millennium
• 34:10
  Speaker 6: Falcon that we blow up and put on the roof,
• 34:12
  Speaker 6: and she's like, all right, fine.
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: Because my wife, it would take.
• 34:15
  Speaker 6: Some convincing, I guess is what I'm saying about this topic.
• 34:18
  Speaker 6: But I do love that it's something that went viral,
• 34:21
  Speaker 6: that a lot of people were talking about, that the
• 34:23
  Speaker 6: employee had every right to be upset, and that the
• 34:26
  Speaker 6: dude was demanding the costume way too early. I did
• 34:29
  Speaker 6: have one other thought about the topic. I'm not sure
• 34:31
  Speaker 6: if I should share it on the radio, because I
• 34:33
  Speaker 6: think that the customer was claiming the costume was for
• 34:36
  Speaker 6: his kid.
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: Part of me thinks that that's not true.
• 34:39
  Speaker 6: Part of me thinks that something else was going on,
• 34:41
  Speaker 6: and I don't want any other information about whatever that
• 34:44
  Speaker 6: might have been, whatever the other thing going on was,
• 34:46
  Speaker 6: because someone who's demanding a costume and wants it ASAP
• 34:50
  Speaker 6: and cannot wait for it, to me, feels like somebody
• 34:53
  Speaker 6: that wants it for some different reason.
• 34:55
  Speaker 20: I don't know.
• 34:55
  Speaker 8: And I got to say, dude, I mean.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: These stores, I'm talking all of them, Lowe's, Home Depot,
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: where you can go and buy a lot of this stuff,
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: they're putting them out earlier and.
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: Earlier every year.
• 35:07
  Speaker 6: They are.
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: That's true. And that's just because they're trying to make sales.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: Christmas decorations will be up probably by the first week
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: of November.
• 35:15
  Speaker 16: Okay.
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: You're not wrong about that.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: Might even be up before Halloween even comes and goes.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: They'll already have their clearance on Halloween before Halloween, and
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: they'll have Christmas decorations or blow-ups already up in the store.
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: Lowe's will have them in the corner in the back
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: where they claim nobody's walking. Yeah, okay.
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: That's true.
• 35:32
  Speaker 6: I saw that we had Marco call in. He wants
• 35:34
  Speaker 6: to talk about the holiday decorations, too, which is awesome
• 35:37
  Speaker 6: that this topic has taken off.
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: Marco, what do you want to say?
• 35:41
  Speaker 11: Yeah, Craig. Further to what Russell was saying is, There's
• 35:46
  Speaker 11: actually Christmas decorations up now in Costco. I mean, come on.
• 35:51
  Speaker 11: It's gotten so ridiculous.
• 35:54
  Speaker 8: It has.
• 35:54
  Speaker 11: How soon did they put this stuff out that it's like, eh.
• 35:57
  Speaker 11: By the time the season gets here, it's like, eh.
• 35:59
  Speaker 11: Except with Christmas, there's a little more, too, because I
• 36:02
  Speaker 11: know it's more than just the Santa Claus thing. Yeah.
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: No, I understand. The religious decorations you're talking about.
• 36:09
  Speaker 11: So that was it. I'll jump off so someone else
• 36:12
  Speaker 11: could get on.
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: No, thank you, Marco.
• 36:13
  Speaker 6: I appreciate that. And I'm not saying you guys are wrong.
• 36:16
  Speaker 6: I'm not saying that Marco and Russell are wrong. I'm
• 36:18
  Speaker 6: not saying that the majority of the decoration shouldn't be
• 36:20
  Speaker 6: out this early, that that's ridiculous. I just, again, I'm
• 36:24
  Speaker 6: thinking about it in the context of a relationship. And
• 36:26
  Speaker 6: I guess I need to do more convincing with my
• 36:29
  Speaker 6: wife than you guys do in order to get the
• 36:30
  Speaker 6: stuff that I want.
• 36:31
  Speaker 8: I got a neighbor in the cul-de-sac of my street.
• 36:34
  Speaker 8: They've already put up their house.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: I walked out last night and I looked over and
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: they got the purple lights and everything, the skeletons on
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: the yard.
• 36:39
  Speaker 8: I'm like, dude, it's freaking September 3rd.
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. Lay back, lay off.
• 36:45
  Speaker 8: That's true.
• 36:46
  Speaker 6: You know what's also funny about that? I'm going to
• 36:48
  Speaker 6: admit one more thing on the radio before we take
• 36:50
  Speaker 6: another break in a couple minutes. My mom was the
• 36:53
  Speaker 6: put decorations out too early person on the block. And
• 36:55
  Speaker 6: so I think I grew up with it. So I
• 36:57
  Speaker 6: think I'm a little more forgiving to the idea of
• 36:59
  Speaker 6: it because it was the kind of thing that I
• 37:02
  Speaker 6: wasn't choosing to do it.
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: It wasn't my choice.
• 37:04
  Speaker 6: And by the way, my mom's the kind of person
• 37:06
  Speaker 6: that has decorations for every holiday. She decorates for Flag Day,
• 37:11
  Speaker 6: for example. And like growing up, I thought that was normal.
• 37:14
  Speaker 6: And then I wound up finding out that no one
• 37:16
  Speaker 6: else decorates for things like Flag Day except mom. But
• 37:20
  Speaker 6: she's very happy about it. She's very proud of the
• 37:22
  Speaker 6: decoration she has. Thanksgiving has a bunch of stuff. Thanksgiving
• 37:25
  Speaker 6: looks like Christmas at our house, but it's not because
• 37:28
  Speaker 6: everything is Thanksgiving themed. Do you decorate at all for Thanksgiving, Russell,
• 37:32
  Speaker 6: or no?
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: In the house, yes.
• 37:34
  Speaker 8: Outside the house, just a few things.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: Nothing crazy. A few things for Halloween as well. I've
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: got the little purple and orange lights that go on
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: the bushes and the Steelers, Frankenstein.
• 37:44
  Speaker 8: Blow up and a blow up pumpkin. I got all that.
• 37:47
  Speaker 8: But yeah, yeah. Just a few things. But Christmas, I
• 37:50
  Speaker 8: go over the top.
• 37:51
  Speaker 6: I like that everything you have decoration wise also says
• 37:55
  Speaker 6: something else that you like. Like, it's not just that
• 37:57
  Speaker 6: you're a fan of Halloween or Christmas.
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: It's Star Wars and the Steelers. Like, there's nothing. OK,
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: that's amazing, dude. I don't have Yankee stuff.
• 38:05
  Speaker 8: Why not?
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 38:06
  Speaker 8: I have it out there. They have they have like
• 38:08
  Speaker 8: a like a Yankee blow up Santa Claus.
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: I'm going to look that up right now. Blow up
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: Santa Claus.
• 38:16
  Speaker 12: I think they do.
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I bet you they do.
• 38:17
  Speaker 8: I know they have it for the NFL. I think
• 38:19
  Speaker 8: they have it for MLB.
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, they definitely, 100%. You're looking at it right there.
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: I'm looking at it right there. He's got a Yankee foam.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: Make that purchase right now on the next break.
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: It's $ 170, $ 180, depending on what.
• 38:32
  Speaker 20: $ 113.
• 38:32
  Speaker 8: It's worth it.
• 38:33
  Speaker 12: It is.
• 38:34
  Speaker 6: Santa has a foam Yankee finger. He's got a Santa
• 38:38
  Speaker 6: toy bag that also has the Yankee emblem on it.
• 38:40
  Speaker 6: And then he's wearing a Santa suit. With a Yankee
• 38:43
  Speaker 6: emblem right on the chest. That is freaking awesome.
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: You're right. I do need this, Russell.
• 38:48
  Speaker 6: I can't avoid this purchase. I have to buy this.
• 38:52
  Speaker 6: You've got to buy that. Again, when I get it, though,
• 38:55
  Speaker 6: and this is the problem for some of the stuff
• 38:56
  Speaker 6: I buy. Like, I'll buy it maybe online. It'll show
• 38:59
  Speaker 6: up at my house. The wife will get there before me.
• 39:01
  Speaker 6: She'll open the thing, and she'll find out what it is.
• 39:04
  Speaker 6: And then I'll get some sort of text that's like, really?
• 39:06
  Speaker 8: Dude, send it to KCV. All right. I got you.
• 39:12
  Speaker 6: And then I can say some listener sent it to me. Betty,
• 39:15
  Speaker 6: I didn't even want this. I had no desire to
• 39:17
  Speaker 6: have it. All right.
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: This was great. We're going to take another break.
• 39:24
  Speaker 6: After the break, I thought the music was more stuff.
• 39:27
  Speaker 6: We're going to come back and we're going to talk
• 39:28
  Speaker 6: about some serious stuff.
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: But it's Friday.
• 39:31
  Speaker 6: And apparently the silly stuff at least is popular enough
• 39:34
  Speaker 6: with some of you guys that we can talk about that.
• 39:36
  Speaker 6: I have a mashup video that I thought was funny.
• 39:39
  Speaker 6: It feels a little millennial, but it's still funny. Maybe
• 39:41
  Speaker 6: I'll get to that more. This is KSEV Mornings. Craig Collins,

  Speaker 6: what he actually wants to call it. I got a

  Speaker 6: bunch of texts from Wayne Dolcefino last night saying how
• 42:00
  Speaker 6: excited he was that listeners are responding.
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: To the Mob Guys. And I kind of love that.
• 42:07
  Speaker 6: By the way, I feel like Wayne Dolcefino is the
• 42:09
  Speaker 6: kind of guy that for a lot of people is
• 42:11
  Speaker 6: hard to get on the phone.

  Speaker 3: Wayne Del Trofino. He picks up the phone. All right.
• 42:22
  Speaker 6: Let's get to a listener that I think is going
• 42:24
  Speaker 6: to say some crazy stuff, but I appreciate that he
• 42:27
  Speaker 6: calls in and listens to the station anyway. Rusty, what
• 42:29

• 42:40
  Speaker 7: I say, I say people left.
• 42:43
  Speaker 4: I don't even like.
• 42:44
  Speaker 6: Rusty, you got to call back in again. Your phone,
• 42:46
  Speaker 6: I promise I didn't hang up with on you. which
• 42:48
  Speaker 6: you might think that I did just because I disagree
• 42:50
  Speaker 6: with you on a lot of stuff. But it was
• 42:52
  Speaker 6: really that your phone quality was awful. So if you
• 42:54
  Speaker 6: call back in and we talk about Tallarico, you can
• 42:57
  Speaker 6: say whatever you want. I'll say what I think is
• 42:59
  Speaker 6: true and false about the things that you say. He
• 43:03
  Speaker 6: is one of our more respectful lefties. He's still crazy,
• 43:06
  Speaker 6: but at least he's respectful about it, not like some
• 43:08
  Speaker 6: of the other ones out there who lie and then
• 43:10
  Speaker 6: also act like I'm lying back. But, Rusty, you were
• 43:14
  Speaker 6: not hung up on, even though I think you might
• 43:15
  Speaker 6: think that you were.
• 43:17
  Speaker 20: All right.
• 43:17
  Speaker 6: One last thing that I do want to play. I
• 43:19
  Speaker 6: referenced it. I know it's a Friday, so I'm just
• 43:21
  Speaker 6: going to play it. And we'll get back to serious stuff.
• 43:24
  Speaker 6: We can talk more about Tallarico in a bit. But
• 43:27
  Speaker 6: it's a Hall & Oates mashup that is connected to
• 43:29
  Speaker 6: a theme song for a cartoon show, Duck Tales. I
• 43:33
  Speaker 6: don't know what you're going to think, the KSEV radio audience,
• 43:36
  Speaker 6: of these two types of music living in the same space.
• 43:40
  Speaker 6: But I do want to play it because I like
• 43:41
  Speaker 6: the mashup stuff that the Internet does a lot. And
• 43:44
  Speaker 6: I think it's a couple unique social media accounts that
• 43:46
  Speaker 6: do most of the good ones. But this is where
• 43:49
  Speaker 6: you take two songs, you squish them together, you make
• 43:51
  Speaker 6: them something that becomes popular.
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: This had millions of views. So two things before I
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: actually play on this.
• 43:57
  Speaker 6: I'm tremendously jealous of the people that succeed in social
• 44:00
  Speaker 6: media with some of the easiest stuff out there to do.
• 44:03
  Speaker 6: It annoys the crap out of me because our station
• 44:05
  Speaker 6: tries very hard in a lot of ways to get
• 44:07
  Speaker 6: your attention, certainly on the Internet. And we don't go
• 44:10
  Speaker 6: the easy route of just putting DuckTales in the same
• 44:13
  Speaker 6: thing as like a Hall & Oates song. And we should,
• 44:16
  Speaker 6: I guess, because this is how we'd get a whole
• 44:18
  Speaker 6: bunch of follows and listens and people paying attention that
• 44:21
  Speaker 6: probably also hate our politics.
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: But then the other thing about this is I think this.
• 44:24
  Speaker 6: Is inherently millennial or younger, but just because the cartoon
• 44:30
  Speaker 6: is one that I remember as a kid and one
• 44:32
  Speaker 6: that had a pretty good theme song, if I'm being honest.
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: But here we go. Hall & Oates singing. DuckTales music
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: behind it. This is funny to me.
• 44:47
  Speaker 8: This is funny.
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: That shouldn't work that well. It shouldn't work.
• 45:09
  Speaker 6: You might not care at all about the DuckTales theme song,
• 45:12
  Speaker 6: but those two things should not go together that easily,
• 45:14
  Speaker 6: and yet they do. It looks like Robert is calling
• 45:17
  Speaker 6: from Pearland. I think this is, as Chris X calls him,
• 45:20
  Speaker 6: the Cracker Croaker. Robert, how are you doing, buddy?
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: Very well, sir. I was cracking up about your comment
• 45:27
  Speaker 4: about that the husband has to justify it to the wife.
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: Oh, you have to.
• 45:31
  Speaker 4: That's probably something to that.
• 45:33
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 45:34
  Speaker 6: I'm married to a Latina, though, man, so it might
• 45:36
  Speaker 6: be my own wife and how I have to win
• 45:37
  Speaker 6: her over on most arguments.
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: Is there anything else you wanted to say, though?
• 45:42
  Speaker 4: Well, no, that's just a start. So my theory is
• 45:45
  Speaker 4: that these things are so big and expensive and horrendous,
• 45:48
  Speaker 4: you know, it's like They have to leave it up
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: two months to justify spending that money getting the use
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: out of it.
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: That's true.
• 45:56
  Speaker 4: It reminds me of like 4th of July where these
• 46:00
  Speaker 4: idiots get into the little fireworks place and buy and buy.
• 46:04
  Speaker 4: Now they spent $ 2, 000 and they got to put a
• 46:08
  Speaker 4: pop them all and they're up till sunrise the next
• 46:10
  Speaker 4: day still blowing out firecrackers to justify the purchase.
• 46:13
  Speaker 6: That's a great point, Robert, to be honest. I'm looking
• 46:16
  Speaker 6: at the price of this stuff. Some of these 20-foot
• 46:19
  Speaker 6: skeleton things that you can put in your front yard
• 46:21
  Speaker 6: are like $ 350. And if I'm spending $ 350 on one decoration,
• 46:26
  Speaker 6: you are right. I probably want that thing to feel
• 46:29
  Speaker 6: like it had more of a shelf life than, say,
• 46:32
  Speaker 6: two weeks.
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: I want this thing to last a while. I'm probably
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: bringing it with me.
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: You want pictures on the Facebook, man.
• 46:37
  Speaker 6: You want it.
• 46:38
  Speaker 8: You want your neighbors.
• 46:39
  Speaker 4: You want to start a party about your freaking tree.
• 46:41
  Speaker 4: You got the front yard, 30 foot Christmas tree.
• 46:44
  Speaker 18: It's true.
• 46:45
  Speaker 11: That are, you know, latex.
• 46:46
  Speaker 6: All right, wait, I want, I want a judge's ruling
• 46:49
  Speaker 6: on this, which is what I usually call this sort
• 46:50
  Speaker 6: of thing. When we all give our own opinion, Russell
• 46:52
  Speaker 6: can chime in too. A 30 foot Christmas tree sounds
• 46:55
  Speaker 6: way better than like a 20 foot skeleton. If I
• 46:58
  Speaker 6: were ever going to go crazy with, and buy a
• 47:01
  Speaker 6: ridiculous thing that's at my front yard, I think just
• 47:04
  Speaker 6: a simple giant tree is far and away the most
• 47:07
  Speaker 6: likely option for me.
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: Does that sound right for you guys or no?
• 47:11
  Speaker 16: Robert?
• 47:12
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 47:12
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 47:13
  Speaker 4: Not even close.
• 47:14
  Speaker 18: Yeah, right.
• 47:14
  Speaker 4: That's an obvious because a skeleton, you know, is no
• 47:18
  Speaker 4: redeeming value artistically whatsoever.
• 47:21
  Speaker 20: It's true.
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: That's true.
• 47:22
  Speaker 6: You can't decorate it with lights for Christmas. All right,
• 47:24
  Speaker 6: thanks for the call, Robert, the Cracker Croakers. Is there
• 47:26
  Speaker 6: anything else you wanted to say or was that it?
• 47:29
  Speaker 4: No, I just like the setups. Really working good.
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: Thank you, buddy. Yeah.
• 47:34
  Speaker 6: I don't know what to talk about sometimes on the show.
• 47:35
  Speaker 6: I'll be honest with you. Like, this is something else
• 47:37
  Speaker 6: I'll say. And I'm just going to say this because
• 47:40
  Speaker 6: half of the first hour of this show has been
• 47:42
  Speaker 6: different content than I usually do. There's a lot of
• 47:46
  Speaker 6: opinions in our industry as to what works and what
• 47:49
  Speaker 6: doesn't work. There's a lot of people I've talked to
• 47:51
  Speaker 6: that are consultants. And I actually love when I talk to, say,
• 47:55
  Speaker 6: some of my radio friends about consultants because a lot
• 47:58
  Speaker 6: of them hate them. because a consultant is someone who
• 48:01
  Speaker 6: tells you how to do something, but they don't want
• 48:02
  Speaker 6: to actually do it themselves, which is usually weird. I
• 48:06
  Speaker 6: think that most people who give advice at a professional
• 48:10
  Speaker 6: level should have done the thing they're giving advice about,
• 48:13
  Speaker 6: at least somewhat successfully, in order to say that. But
• 48:16
  Speaker 6: I do actually like a consultant who would be a
• 48:18
  Speaker 6: terrible radio host.
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: I like working with him.
• 48:21
  Speaker 6: But anyway, the point of this is, A lot of
• 48:23
  Speaker 6: people will give you a lot of opinions about what
• 48:25
  Speaker 6: people do and don't like and do and don't want
• 48:27
  Speaker 6: to listen to. And they'll tell you what you should
• 48:29
  Speaker 6: and shouldn't talk about. And at the end of the day,
• 48:32
  Speaker 6: we don't know. I feel like it's sort of similar
• 48:35
  Speaker 6: to the things I've seen in, say, investment worlds. And
• 48:40
  Speaker 6: I'm even going to quote like the Wolf of Wall Street.
• 48:43
  Speaker 6: Nobody knows if a stock is going to go up
• 48:45
  Speaker 6: and down. Nobody really knows. We think we know.
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: We project. We guess.
• 48:49
  Speaker 6: But the reality of actually definitively understanding... what could and
• 48:52
  Speaker 6: couldn't be successful, you don't actually know. You say you do,
• 48:57
  Speaker 6: but you don't. And the people who get that wrong,
• 48:59
  Speaker 6: and now I'm just ranting about radio philosophy on the show.
• 49:02
  Speaker 6: This is probably not good. The people who get that
• 49:05
  Speaker 6: wrong never admit they get it wrong. My other favorite
• 49:07
  Speaker 6: thing is that when someone gave me advice that they
• 49:09
  Speaker 6: definitively knew, like to them, was the right approach to
• 49:12
  Speaker 6: something like, this is, we have to do this. We
• 49:15
  Speaker 6: got to do it this way. It's going to work.
• 49:17
  Speaker 6: And then it fails spectacularly. They disappear from the discussion.
• 49:22
  Speaker 6: I assume a lot of people feel that way about
• 49:24
  Speaker 6: their own job, about the own advice they get. Maybe
• 49:26
  Speaker 6: it's a boss that you think doesn't understand what works
• 49:29
  Speaker 6: for you at the job that you're doing in a
• 49:32
  Speaker 6: role below them.
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: I don't know who it is.
• 49:34
  Speaker 6: Maybe it's a coworker that says that they know how
• 49:36
  Speaker 6: to do your job better than you. But there's a
• 49:38
  Speaker 6: lot of times. Or you might follow the advice of
• 49:41
  Speaker 6: someone else who gives it to you just strongly, gives
• 49:44
  Speaker 6: it to you knowing and acting as though they believe
• 49:47
  Speaker 6: it to be true.
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: And the minute it fails, they vanish. They vanish into
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: the night.
• 49:51
  Speaker 20: All right.
• 49:52
  Speaker 6: I want to play one other thing. I do like
• 49:54
  Speaker 6: this a lot, too, as far as sillier stuff goes.
• 49:57
  Speaker 6: This is a chef that I guess is pretty popular
• 50:01
  Speaker 6: on social media. His name is Andrew Zimmer. He puts
• 50:05
  Speaker 6: up a lot of videos where he reviews stuff.
• 50:08
  Speaker 3: I don't know where he actually works. It says he's
• 50:09
  Speaker 3: a chef. I don't know.
• 50:11
  Speaker 6: I've never heard of the guy. Maybe you all know him,
• 50:13
  Speaker 6: and he's some super famous person that I'm unaware of.
• 50:16
  Speaker 6: But he recently did a review of gas station pizza,
• 50:20
  Speaker 6: and he said the best gas station pizza, and he
• 50:23
  Speaker 6: thinks it's actually better than a lot of legitimate pizza places,
• 50:26
  Speaker 6: is Casey's. Do we have Casey's in Texas? I think
• 50:30
  Speaker 6: that answer is probably no.
• 50:31
  Speaker 8: I don't think so.
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: I've never heard of it. You've never heard of what
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: it is?
• 50:34
  Speaker 6: Casey's is a gas station kind of like Buc-ee's, but
• 50:36
  Speaker 6: not as insane. Just with a really big focus on food.
• 50:40
  Speaker 6: It's like Wawa on the East Coast, too. Which, do
• 50:43
  Speaker 6: we have any Wawa? We don't have any Wawas.
• 50:44
  Speaker 8: No Wawas here. None of that. Wawas are great, but
• 50:47
  Speaker 8: they're not here.
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: Wawas are great. Now, what is our equivalent to that?
• 50:50
  Speaker 6: Because Buc-ee's doesn't compare. Buc-ee's is the top.
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I know it is.
• 50:55
  Speaker 6: But is there something that's really just food and gas
• 50:57
  Speaker 6: and not ridiculousness, which is the other thing that Buc-ee's is?
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: Do we have any of that here or no?
• 51:03
  Speaker 4: I don't think so.
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: Well, it's fine. It's Texas.
• 51:05
  Speaker 6: We can't handle something that's just two things. It's got
• 51:08
  Speaker 6: to be bigger than that. It's got to be better
• 51:09
  Speaker 6: than that. But anyway, I want to play this audio.
• 51:12
  Speaker 6: This is a chef guy reviewing gas station pizza and
• 51:15
  Speaker 6: saying it's delicious.
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: And here's the thing.
• 51:18
  Speaker 6: And I'll say this as a person who was born
• 51:20
  Speaker 6: on the East Coast and believes myself to be a
• 51:22
  Speaker 6: pizza snob. This cannot be true. It can't be as
• 51:26
  Speaker 6: good as actual like restaurant pizza other places. The reason
• 51:30
  Speaker 6: they think it's good is is because they went to
• 51:33
  Speaker 6: a gas station and their brain told them as they
• 51:35
  Speaker 6: walked in the door, this can't be as good as
• 51:38
  Speaker 6: other stuff. It's sort of like when you go see
• 51:40
  Speaker 6: improv comedy. It's not as funny as an actual comedian,
• 51:44
  Speaker 6: but you know it's harder. So you say to yourself,
• 51:47
  Speaker 6: that was as funny as the other thing, but it's not.
• 51:49
  Speaker 6: Your brain is giving them a little bit more grace
• 51:52
  Speaker 6: than they deserve. But here's the viral video of the
• 51:55
  Speaker 6: guy saying that Casey's gas station's Create amazing pizza.
• 51:58
  Speaker 18: Stop the Casey's.
• 51:59
  Speaker 16: It's brunch time.
• 52:00
  Speaker 12: It's the weekend. I feel like pizza.
• 52:03
  Speaker 8: I'm going to try several of their more popular varieties
• 52:06
  Speaker 8: and try to rank them for you.
• 52:07
  Speaker 12: Breakfast pizza.
• 52:09
  Speaker 14: Homemade dough.
• 52:11
  Speaker 12: Eggs.
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: Cheese.
• 52:13
  Speaker 18: Sausage.
• 52:14
  Speaker 12: Solid 10 out of 10.
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: Taco pizza.
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: One of my favorites.
• 52:19
  Speaker 12: I'm going to go with 11 out of 10.
• 52:21
  Speaker 7: Say pepperoni.
• 52:22
  Speaker 12: Rock solid 11 out of 10. Barbecue brisket pizza.
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: No, it is not a 14 out of 10. That
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: is not true.
• 52:35
  Speaker 6: And actually, I'm going to say something. And I feel
• 52:37
  Speaker 6: like I've I don't know if I've ever talked about
• 52:38
  Speaker 6: this on the show before. I feel like I only
• 52:40
  Speaker 6: did it once when I was doing a weekend show
• 52:43
  Speaker 6: because that was the safest place to do it.
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: Bucky's is good. It's not great for food.
• 52:49
  Speaker 8: It's not great.
• 52:50
  Speaker 3: Can we admit that.
• 52:51
  Speaker 8: It's not talking about they get great barbecue sandwiches?
• 52:53
  Speaker 3: It's like compared pretty good compared.
• 52:56
  Speaker 6: To like an actual barbecue place in Texas to go
• 52:59
  Speaker 6: and not the gas station like Bucky's is fun.
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: I enjoy the atmosphere of it.
• 53:03
  Speaker 8: Is the food really as.
• 53:05
  Speaker 3: Good as the other places? Russell.
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, OK.
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: Am I going to admit that alone?
• 53:13
  Speaker 8: Is it good?
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's good.
• 53:14
  Speaker 6: But part of the reason you're so impressed with it
• 53:16
  Speaker 6: is because it's a gas station. Even though it's the
• 53:19
  Speaker 6: most ridiculous gas station in the country, it's still a
• 53:22
  Speaker 6: gas station. It's the best gas station in the country.
• 53:24
  Speaker 6: That's easy for that to, but it's not anyway.
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 53:27
  Speaker 6: If you want to call in and tell me why
• 53:28
  Speaker 6: I'm wrong about Buc-ee's, you can. I like to do
• 53:31
  Speaker 6: the hot Texas take at the end of a segment.
• 53:34
  Speaker 6: This is KSEV Mornings. Greg Collins, Wayne Dolcefino on Special
