  Speaker 2: you so fired up? Did you have to go to
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: the mechanic or something? Oh, wow. You can't stop spending money,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: by the way. Wow. I get hit with $ 500 worth
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: of paint, and Jack.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, is this that same thing we've
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: been talking about?
• 1:59
  Speaker 8: It is.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Did you take my advice? Yes. Did you get it?
• 2:04
  Speaker 9: Not only did I get the part back, but I
• 2:05
  Speaker 9: also brought in a mechanic to talk to the dealership.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sorry. I meant to say dealership. Oh, one
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: of those.
• 2:14
  Speaker 10: Barbed.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Barbed?
• 2:16
  Speaker 9: It was an uncomfortable 15 minutes. Seems like it was
• 2:20
  Speaker 9: three hours of standing there. As this back and forth
• 2:24
  Speaker 9: was happening on my behalf. Using a language you don't
• 2:26
  Speaker 9: even recognize.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: This is like Crimeline because I see Barb.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. And in the end, it took the bill
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: down almost 200 bucks. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, Jack had
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: a situation where, and I don't know if you guys
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: have ever been to the mechanic or whatever, but I
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: was telling Jack, you know, when you take a car
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: to the mechanic, and if you don't know anything about
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: cars or what's being replaced or whatever, right? Do you
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: know what we're talking about here, Ross? No, I do not.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Let's say you have to take your Honda in to
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: get a new alternator, right? Or something like that, right?
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we got to make it from Decepticon to, yeah,
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: I got it. Because you take your car and you're like, well, man,
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: you know, something's happening here.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on. They go back in
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: the back. They go, oh, it's your alternator. That's going
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: to be $ 500, right? Well, every time you do that,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: or at least I do this, when I tell them that,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, no problem. Let's fix the alternator. I
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: want to see the bad part when you're done, though.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: You got to bring me the part that you replace.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: I need to see that in a box, if you
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: don't mind. Because what happens is a lot of times,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying a lot of times, I'm just saying
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: with sketchy mechanics, what they'll do is they'll take it back,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: and it could be a fuse. Like $ 20, $ 5, $ 3, $ 4.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: And they were like, yeah, you need a new alternator.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Charge you for a new alternator, put a fuse in
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: because you don't know the difference.
• 3:41
  Speaker 9: Matter of fact, that story, it happened to someone else
• 3:44
  Speaker 9: and someone told me that exact thing happened with an
• 3:46
  Speaker 9: alternator specifically.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 3:48
  Speaker 9: That was not the case. I was dealing with a
• 3:50
  Speaker 9: low pressure fuel pump and the whole assembly. And basically
• 3:53
  Speaker 9: what they charged me for the part was four times
• 3:57
  Speaker 9: over what I would have paid at Rock Auto. And
• 4:00
  Speaker 9: then labor on top of that. They said a two-hour job,
• 4:05
  Speaker 9: which is debatable.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Even that's in question now?
• 4:08
  Speaker 9: Anyway, that, and if I finance it, and they had
• 4:13
  Speaker 9: some deal, I could get another 15% off, so I
• 4:15
  Speaker 9: took a $ 1, 300 bill down to $ 900.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, not bad at all. Wow, still, that's crazy for
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: a fuel pump. What was wrong with the carbon shaft? Yeah,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: the carbon shaft on the low-pressure fuel pump. Yeah, yeah,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: the dilator came unglued from the... Spit valve. How much
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: did it dilate? Oh, big time. But it's inside the
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: gas tank. The variance is 0.3. All right, good. It's
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: 0.3 and a half. That's why it had to be replaced.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: That's got to be 8 millimeters.
• 4:41
  Speaker 11: 77031.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: That's why you got to do that. Yeah, you got
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: to ask for the part. And then you're like, man,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: what an awkward, tense situation. Oh, and then, oh, yeah.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Somebody arguing on your behalf and you just have to
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: stand there like your mom's talking to a bully.
• 4:57
  Speaker 9: I talk to my mom, talk to my mom. And
• 4:59
  Speaker 9: then he's like, you know, can you do something on
• 5:02
  Speaker 9: this or do we need to go to the GM?
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Oh, he dropped that.
• 5:06
  Speaker 9: He dropped that. And the guy was like, well, you know,
• 5:09
  Speaker 9: we might have to go to the GM. And we
• 5:11
  Speaker 9: went through it more and then said it. So I
• 5:13
  Speaker 9: come in with the sugar. I go, can we do
• 5:15
  Speaker 9: something on the price? And he goes, yeah, let me
• 5:17
  Speaker 9: look at it. And then they worked it.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I could tell he was really
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: glad we were not going to the GM. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: they don't like the GM being brought in. No, no, no.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Because I think like kind of corporate protocol, don't they
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: have to make a– there has to be a note
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: of that. Yeah, correct. It's like getting written up. It
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: goes into your permanent record. I don't know if there's
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: a permanent record, but yeah. You get the idea. So
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: you ask for the part. That's wild.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: And a very confrontational choice, which I'm not disagreeing with
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: is like necessary at times.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: I think it's brilliant.
• 5:47
  Speaker 9: Yeah, but I don't know if I would like the
• 5:49
  Speaker 9: way my buddy did it.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: And he's a mechanic.
• 5:51
  Speaker 9: So he knew this guy wasn't kind of he was
• 5:54
  Speaker 9: trying to like talk circles the way they explained it
• 5:56
  Speaker 9: to me.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, they said it was a loose seal.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: So there's like there's no loose seal on this. I
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: learned this because my uncle back in the day had
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: a car that had a hydraulic clutch booster. I believe
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: that's what it was, right? Yeah, exactly. Well, your brakes
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: have a brake booster that allows you to use hydraulic
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: pressure to engage the brakes without breaking your leg while
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: doing it, right? So when you have a car that
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: shifts and the clutch is there, sometimes you have a,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: they had a clutch booster that ran just like your
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: brake booster, right? So you take the, the person takes
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: their car in, they're like, I think I need a
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: new clutch because it was hard to get in gear,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: hard to get out of gear. They take it in
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: the back. They go, yeah, man, you need a whole
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: new clutch assembly, the whole nine yards, right? He says, okay,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: no problem. He goes, I'll be back tomorrow. In that time,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: the guy's son had called a buddy of his who's
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: a mechanic and said, come over and look at my
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: dad's car. I don't think it's what they think it is, right?
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Because there was no smell. Usually when you have a
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: clutch go bad, there's a certain smell to it, right?
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Turns out that the clutch booster was just out of
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: hydraulic fluid. Not even a full can of fluid that
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: cost $ 3.
• 6:56
  Speaker 12: 10.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: They were about to charge this guy $ 600 for a
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: new clutch because he just simply didn't know. I could
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: see myself.
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: There's only one scenario where I could see myself asking,
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: all right, that's fine, man, but just give me the
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: broken part. And that is if I have one to
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: two beers running through my system. there is no way
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: I'm going to John wick in the middle of a
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: mechanic shop.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: We'd sober. No way.
• 7:23
  Speaker 9: I'm going to need some bourbon, but you can even
• 7:25
  Speaker 9: do it. Like just, I want to see, show me
• 7:28
  Speaker 9: what was wrong on the other. So I understand, you know,
• 7:30
  Speaker 9: show me what was wrong on it.
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Because a lot of places they'll be like, well, we
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: took the other part as a, what they call a
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: core charge, because what they'll do is they'll take these
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: big assemblies and they'll send them back to the factory
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: and they'll refurbish them and resell them.
• 7:43
  Speaker 8: Like, Right?
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: When you get a battery, I think that's kind of
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: what they do. They take the battery and recycle it. Tires,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: they use it to recycle. But some of these parts,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: you'll get a core part or a core charge. And
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: if you let them have the other part, you'll get that.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: You don't have to pay for it. Man, I always
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: like put it in a box, bring it out. Let
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: me see it. Yeah.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Let me see it.
• 7:59
  Speaker 9: Because I think also until you sign off on the job,
• 8:01
  Speaker 9: they can't, they're not supposed to throw away your part.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: They're not supposed to. Dude, I knew somebody used to
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: mark them. Like if he thought he had a part
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: that had to be done, he'd mark it with a
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: pen or a paint pen or something to make sure
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: they replaced it. Crazy. And I don't think the mechanic–
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: I don't know, man. I don't know if the business
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: is still like that much anymore. I mean this thing here,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: like marking parts up is not a scam. I mean
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: marking them up for a certain point is a scam.
• 8:24
  Speaker 13: Correct.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: And that's subjective.
• 8:26
  Speaker 9: But it's also what they told you they need and
• 8:29
  Speaker 9: then what they actually ended up replacing. And then there
• 8:32
  Speaker 9: was a little question of, oh, it wasn't the whole assembly.
• 8:34
  Speaker 9: You took one part of the assembly, but you're charging
• 8:37
  Speaker 9: me the full price.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Couldn't imagine like– I'm not being misogynist here by any means,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: but could not imagine being– a woman that goes and
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: takes a car into a mechanic shop with no knowledge
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: of it and just has to trust the person who
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: is giving you the indication that something's wrong. Oh, well,
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: let me tell you how it feels. Oh, it's not great.
• 8:58
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you just– you hopefully have a group of friends
• 9:00
  Speaker 7: that you know you can rely on.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because you and I have talked about car issues before.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: I'm like– Oh, yeah. And certain things you just got
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: to make sure you pay attention to because there are
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: ways to take advantage of you.
• 9:10
  Speaker 7: I'll either go back to the place where I bought
• 9:12
  Speaker 7: the car or my best friend who's a gearhead.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Absolutely got to do it.
• 9:15
  Speaker 9: And I have two mechanic friends that I– well, one–
• 9:19
  Speaker 9: not my friend, just a mechanic I trust. Another buddy
• 9:21
  Speaker 9: who's a mechanic I trust. But sometimes you need the
• 9:24
  Speaker 9: dealership because they got all the– The car exclusive technology.
• 9:30
  Speaker 7: I had a recall, and the guy who sold me
• 9:32
  Speaker 7: the car tried because he was able to fix some
• 9:35
  Speaker 7: Honda things. He was given permission to do, figured that
• 9:38
  Speaker 7: might make him, and they're like, no, got to go
• 9:41
  Speaker 7: to the dealership.
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the dealer for recalls for sure. That's a better
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: technique than I do. I walk in all fours, ton
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: of leather, ball gag, ready to get done. I walk
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: in knowing this is a weakness of mine. I refuse
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: to work on it. And you guys take me wherever
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: you want to go. I am your car gimp. I
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: am your car gimp.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Lock me in the trunk. Do what you want with me.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: And I will see you afterwards when we invoice.
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: Just tell me the damage. And I know this oil
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: change will come with a comma. So after I get
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: out of.
• 10:12
  Speaker 9: It all and the thing started with the engine lights on,
• 10:15
  Speaker 9: I drove my daughter's car home.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: It was her car. And I'm like, oh, look at that.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Engine light's still on.
• 10:22
  Speaker 13: Oh, no.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: No, dude. No, no.
• 10:25
  Speaker 9: But what was happening is it's now running fine, but
• 10:29
  Speaker 9: the engine light's still on.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Right, and it's on fire. Yeah, well.
• 10:33
  Speaker 9: So I'm like, I could go right back to them,
• 10:35
  Speaker 9: but I'm like, you know, I'm going to go to
• 10:38
  Speaker 9: one of the auto stores. I'm going to have them
• 10:40
  Speaker 9: plug it in. you tell me what's wrong tell me
• 10:42
  Speaker 9: what error code i'm getting before i end up going
• 10:44
  Speaker 9: back absolutely yeah yeah i'll tell you one cool thing
• 10:47
  Speaker 9: that happened today like i didn't know this was the
• 10:49
  Speaker 9: case right so if you ever get a nail in
• 10:51
  Speaker 9: your tire it's the biggest pain in the ass in
• 10:53
  Speaker 9: the world because it if.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: It's even touching the sidewall that new tire if it's
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: near the corner i mean they wouldn't even think about
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: it they like that's like a little out that they
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: have like i'm sorry sir that screw head is near
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: the sidewall we can't replace it it's against the law
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: you need a new tire so it goes from being
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: a dollar and a half to 340 whatever a new tire.
• 11:13
  Speaker 7: Is somebody just texted us at 77031 saying i had
• 11:17
  Speaker 7: one show me a photo of a nail in my
• 11:18
  Speaker 7: tire but it wasn't even my tire When the tread
• 11:22
  Speaker 7: looked brand new and not the same pattern.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: That is bold. Isn't it? They just check GPT of tire.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: Show me how I can make money. But my wife
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: had a nail or a screw in her tire last
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: night and she had to go take it to, it
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: was just a super slow leak. So it wasn't like
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: leaving her a flat. She had to go take care
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: of it this morning. And we were debating on what
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: they were going to charge her to plug a tire
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: with a screw in the top. We found the screw.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: We knew exactly where it was. And how much do
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: you think they charged her?
• 11:54
  Speaker 14: $ 10.
• 11:54
  Speaker 15: $ 110.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: Oh, $ 75. $ 0.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: Nice.
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: Does she have a warranty on the tire?
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: I don't know, dude. She just said they didn't charge
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: me a dime for my repair.
• 12:04
  Speaker 9: That's outstanding. Did she go to a dealership or where
• 12:07
  Speaker 9: she got the car from?
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: We use a tire place out there that she's bought
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: tires from, like a Tire Kingdom kind of place or whatever.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: So a lot of times when you buy a tire
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: at a certain place, if you get the road hazard
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: warranty on that tire, they plug it for free. Can
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: I tell you, I was willing to pay $ 30. I
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: was just happy it wasn't in the sidewall or in
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: the sidewall adjacent. I just didn't want to spend another
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: $ 350 on another tire. I had a discovery this year.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: Right a mile from my house, there's a used tire place. $ 10,
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: they plug a tire.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's go.
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: I'm a little confused on how you're not a little
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: worried about this free tire patch, my man.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: I'm perfectly fine with a free tire patch. Yeah, but.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: I'm perfectly fine. She's walking great.
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, were you there for the free tire patch?
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: I was not. Okay. Well, and?
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: You didn't take that as any bit of a flirtatious
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: move from the mechanic?
• 12:54
  Speaker 12: No.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: What are you talking about?
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: He is now.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying. I've never thought of it.
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: My wife gets something free. I'm like, back down, Tom.

• 14:47
  Speaker 7: And as always, JCS News is brought to you by
• 14:50
  Speaker 7: that mortgage guy, Don. Orlando police have made an arrest
• 14:54
  Speaker 7: in a 15-year missing persons case. Michelle Parker disappeared in
• 14:59
  Speaker 7: November of 2011 after dropping off her children with her ex-fiance,
• 15:04
  Speaker 7: Dale Smith Jr.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Smith was the.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Last known person to see or hear from Michelle on
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: November 17, 2011, after she dropped their children off at
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: his home.
• 15:14
  Speaker 7: So Police Chief Eric Smith says detectives used new evidence
• 15:18
  Speaker 7: and digital forensics to connect the suspect. They say he
• 15:21
  Speaker 7: was interviewed several times by detectives and changed his.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: Stories over the years. That's always a sign.
• 15:28
  Speaker 7: Smith is charged with second-degree murder, and prosecutors say a
• 15:31
  Speaker 7: grand jury could upgrade that to a first-degree murder charge.
• 15:35
  Speaker 7: Parker and Smith appeared in a 2011 episode of The
• 15:38
  Speaker 7: People's Court in a dispute over her engagement ring. The
• 15:41
  Speaker 7: episode aired the day Parker disappeared after she'd reportedly thrown
• 15:45
  Speaker 7: the ring at him, which was said to be like
• 15:48
  Speaker 7: three and a half carats or some other large size.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: It was a honker. It was.
• 15:51
  Speaker 7: And her parents, if you remember, had sued seeking to
• 15:55
  Speaker 7: have not custody, but at least visitation with her two children,
• 15:59
  Speaker 7: because since she disappeared. He has taken the children and
• 16:03
  Speaker 7: I believe moved to North Carolina.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: I thought it was North Carolina or Georgia. I know.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: And he left pretty quickly.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: He left pretty quickly.
• 16:10
  Speaker 7: And apparently he was arrested today at his place of
• 16:12
  Speaker 7: business where he was working.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Fifteen years.
• 16:15
  Speaker 9: You know, those kids were living with a dad now
• 16:19
  Speaker 9: of questionable background. missing their mom and not even having
• 16:23
  Speaker 9: access to their grandparents.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: It's tragic.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: Just, yeah, man. I got to tell you, you know,
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: that's that all, all that happened out there where I'm,
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: where I used to live at that Geneva area.
• 16:31
  Speaker 7: I thought I remembered you saying that the folks out
• 16:33
  Speaker 7: in Geneva were not real happy with him and kind of,
• 16:36
  Speaker 7: that was the talk of the time.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, that was the talk of the entire, we
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: didn't live there yet, but we knew it was the
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: talk of the town. Even, even when we were there
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: years after it happened, it was still kind of one
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: of those buzzy topics. I text a couple of people
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: I know that know him. And know them. And they're like, yeah,
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: I'm watching it right now. Crazy. It was huge.
• 16:53
  Speaker 9: This and the Jennifer Kessie case.
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: These are two of the biggest.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. All right.
• 16:59
  Speaker 7: Florida's Hurricane Isaias death toll has climbed to six with
• 17:02
  Speaker 7: Governor Ron DeSantis announcing four additional storm related deaths. Goes
• 17:06
  Speaker 7: to show hurricanes and tropical weather can be far more
• 17:09
  Speaker 7: just as dangerous after they've moved out of the area.
• 17:12
  Speaker 15: Right.
• 17:13
  Speaker 7: We had talked about two previously reported deaths. One involved
• 17:15
  Speaker 7: a woman killed when a tree fell on her home
• 17:17
  Speaker 7: and a man who died from carbon monoxide poisoning after
• 17:20
  Speaker 7: using a generator in a garage. The newly linked deaths
• 17:25
  Speaker 7: include a traffic crash at an intersection with non-working signals
• 17:28
  Speaker 7: in two cases where storm disruptions affected medical treatment.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 17:34
  Speaker 7: State officials count fatalities caused by a storm's aftermath, not
• 17:38
  Speaker 7: just direct impacts. In the meantime, Florida animal rescue groups
• 17:42
  Speaker 7: are stepping up to help pets displaced by Hurricane Isaias
• 17:45
  Speaker 7: in the Panhandle. Nate's Honor Animal Rescue in Bradenton took
• 17:49
  Speaker 7: in 22 dogs, including seniors and animals with medical needs.
• 17:53
  Speaker 7: Suncoast Animal League in Palm Harbor is preparing to receive
• 17:57
  Speaker 7: 33 dogs and cats from storm-impacted shelters in Florida and Alabama.
• 18:02
  Speaker 7: What makes this heartbreaking touching is that both organizations say
• 18:05
  Speaker 7: the animals need medical care, fostering and community support as
• 18:09
  Speaker 7: recovery efforts continue.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 18:12
  Speaker 7: Closer to home, SeaWorld Orlando has temporarily closed its Mako
• 18:16
  Speaker 7: Hyper coaster. The precautionary shutdown follows that tragic incident Monday
• 18:21
  Speaker 7: where a 42-year-old rider fell to his death from the
• 18:24
  Speaker 7: Goliath coaster at Six Flags over Georgia and four other
• 18:27
  Speaker 7: riders were hurt. It turns out both rides use similar
• 18:30
  Speaker 7: clamshell lap restraints. Built by Swiss manufacturer Bollinger and Mabillard,
• 18:36
  Speaker 7: SeaWorld hasn't announced when Mako will reopen.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I hear more, hearing more details from that roller
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: coaster accident is, it's horrifying.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: It is.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, just horrifying. Hit people on the way down.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: They said when the car came in, the first car
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: came in before they shut the ride down. there were
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: kids in the car like covered in blood because when
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: he flew out and they said that the bar, that
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: I guess his seat bar was kind of loose or whatever.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: That's what I read this morning. I don't know how
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: verified that is.
• 19:03
  Speaker 7: Yeah, well, they had said that he was launched from
• 19:06
  Speaker 7: his seat and he had hit the ride at least
• 19:07
  Speaker 7: on three separate occasions on his way down. And as
• 19:10
  Speaker 7: we had mentioned yesterday, unfortunately, his fall was caught on
• 19:14
  Speaker 7: several souvenir photos because a lot of roller coasters, a
• 19:18
  Speaker 7: lot of rides will take photos of you screaming on
• 19:20
  Speaker 7: the ride and then you can get those when you
• 19:21
  Speaker 7: get off the ride. His fall was unfortunately captured in
• 19:24
  Speaker 7: several of those photos.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Well, that's inevitable.
• 19:27
  Speaker 9: The unfortunate part is anyone who has copies of that
• 19:31
  Speaker 9: and are going to distribute that.
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: I would argue, not inevitable, a crazy chance that that
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: tragedy is happening during the one part of the ride
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: where the camera is set up. That's my takeaway when
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: I heard about the reports of like, what do you
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: mean he's also in the photos?
• 19:40
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 19:40
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Point during the track it'd be like falling out during
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: the jurassic drop right yeah because that's where they take
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: the picture right.
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: Or but with roller coasters there's usually just kind of
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: like one like a drop or they're putting their hands
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: up or whatever yeah sometimes a drop but also just
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: a random moment okay like it's i can't get over
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: that how crazy.
• 20:23
  Speaker 7: You're invited to pay your respects to a fallen Brevard
• 20:25
  Speaker 7: County deputy. Sheriff Wayne Ivey announced yesterday that a memorial
• 20:28
  Speaker 7: service will take place Saturday for Deputy Kevin Morris. The
• 20:31
  Speaker 7: 55-year-old was killed in an on-duty crash Saturday. He's going
• 20:35
  Speaker 7: to be laid to rest with full law enforcement honors
• 20:38
  Speaker 7: at Calvary Chapel, Melbourne and West Melbourne on Minton Road
• 20:41
  Speaker 7: at 11 a.m. Ivey says Morris loved the community and
• 20:45
  Speaker 7: all are invited to celebrate his life. Ivey adds Morris
• 20:48
  Speaker 7: was a great cop, an amazing son, husband, dad, grandfather, coach.
• 20:52
  Speaker 7: friend and mentor and then we go to this next
• 20:55
  Speaker 7: story where a central florida convenience store owner is accused
• 20:58
  Speaker 7: of hitting a teen with his car okay and leaving
• 21:03
  Speaker 7: him critically injured on the side of the road.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: Oh i was gonna make a joke until he's a
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: critical i know thanks deb.
• 21:08
  Speaker 7: Well at least i got it in there before you
• 21:10
  Speaker 7: made your joke you're welcome.
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: I listen do you see how i didn't make a
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: noise because i have touched this hot stove yeah.
• 21:16
  Speaker 7: Yeah Police say Kavan Patel confronted the teen after a
• 21:20
  Speaker 7: reported break-in at his store in West Melbourne. Investigators allege
• 21:24
  Speaker 7: Patel struck the teen while he was riding his e-bike,
• 21:27
  Speaker 7: then left. The 14-year-old was found nearly an hour later
• 21:32
  Speaker 7: and taken to the hospital with serious injuries. Patel faces
• 21:35
  Speaker 7: charges of aggravated battery and leaving the scene of a
• 21:38
  Speaker 7: crash involving serious injuries. Bodily injury.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: You better be glad there's not an attempted murder in that. Yeah, exactly.
• 21:43
  Speaker 7: I wouldn't even be surprised, depending on what happens with
• 21:47
  Speaker 7: that teen in his recovery, he could be facing upgraded charges.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: When you point your car at somebody, that's... Do we
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: know the kid was innocent? No, it doesn't matter. You
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: can't run him over.
• 21:58
  Speaker 7: No, that's just someone who's had to deal with a
• 21:59
  Speaker 7: teenager before, as you all have.
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 22:02
  Speaker 7: Pope Leo is up and about after yesterday's surgery to
• 22:05
  Speaker 7: remove a cancerous nodule on his lung as well as
• 22:09
  Speaker 7: his right lobe of his lung. The Vatican reports he's
• 22:12
  Speaker 7: eating normally, walking around his hospital room.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: Dr.
• 22:15
  Speaker 7: Samuel Gurevich is a pulmonologist at Cleveland Clinic and says
• 22:18
  Speaker 7: the 71-year-old pope is blessed that the spot on his
• 22:21
  Speaker 7: lung was detected early.
• 22:23
  Speaker 17: By the time that these spots happen to grow in
• 22:25
  Speaker 17: their cancer and they give you symptoms, they're usually pretty
• 22:27
  Speaker 17: far along and much harder to treat. The nine things
• 22:30
  Speaker 17: usually don't grow, and so if a spot doesn't change over.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: A period of time, you know, we usually leave it alone.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: Now, Dr.
• 22:35
  Speaker 7: Gurevich says lung cancer is more rare in people with
• 22:38
  Speaker 7: no history of smoking. Think Dana Reeve, right?
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: Christopher Reeve's former wife. She, too, died of lung cancer,
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: never smoked.
• 22:45
  Speaker 18: Right.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: The Pope is reportedly a non-smoker.
• 22:47
  Speaker 7: The Vatican has not publicly disclosed the Pope's stage of
• 22:50
  Speaker 7: lung cancer yet. And the diagnosis comes less than a
• 22:53
  Speaker 7: year and a half after he became the first American pope.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: But it's not just that.
• 22:57
  Speaker 7: Learn today that his older brother, Louis, who had been
• 23:01
  Speaker 7: dealing with multiple myeloma that had been in remission, found
• 23:05
  Speaker 7: out just three months ago that his cancer has as
• 23:07
  Speaker 7: well returned.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw that. Yeah.
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: Crazy.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: So it is.
• 23:11
  Speaker 7: Speaking of crazy, this is a truly cool story. Hillsborough
• 23:16
  Speaker 7: County Fire Rescue is debuting a first-in-the-nation... emergency drone program.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: Okay. Check this. This is Tampa area, right?
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:26
  Speaker 17: Yep.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Exactly. Off rip sounds a little cyber diney.
• 23:29
  Speaker 7: Well, get ready because it's definitely cyber diney. But if
• 23:33
  Speaker 7: you're in a tragic car accident, you know, partnering with
• 23:37
  Speaker 7: Tampa General Hospital, autonomous drones are going to fly temperature
• 23:42
  Speaker 7: controlled whole blood directly to trauma scenes.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: Damn, dude, that is crazy.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: That's Cyberdiny, right?
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: Hey, Ralph, look at that skeeter.
• 23:55
  Speaker 7: The system costs how much money every month for each
• 23:59
  Speaker 7: drone to deliver life-saving blood in under four minutes?
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: It's just to maintain the program?
• 24:05
  Speaker 7: For each drone, the system costs this much money every
• 24:08
  Speaker 7: month for each drone to deliver life-saving blood in under
• 24:11
  Speaker 7: four minutes.
• 24:12
  Speaker 19: $ 5, 000.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, what'd you say? $ 5, 000. Mother blinker.
• 24:15
  Speaker 15: God.
• 24:16
  Speaker 10: All right.
• 24:17
  Speaker 8: $ 5, 200.
• 24:17
  Speaker 15: $ 4, 800.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: Point to Jimmy, $ 9, 000 every month for each drone.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: To deliver life-saving blood in under four minutes.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: What a great idea.
• 24:28
  Speaker 9: Why wouldn't you want that to be more cost-effective so
• 24:30
  Speaker 9: we could save more lives?
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: Why are you sharing the prices? Oh, you walked into it.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: These are mutually exclusive events. Shame on you. I'm trying
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: to win a contest. I don't want to discharge them more.
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: Jack's like that floor like in the 90s movies when
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: there's a bunch of marbles on it.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: You try to run over it.
• 24:49
  Speaker 20: All right.
• 24:49
  Speaker 7: If a new poll is any indication, Florida Republicans may
• 24:53
  Speaker 7: be able to hold off a blue wave. Stetson University
• 24:56
  Speaker 7: released a poll yesterday that shows Republicans Byron Donalds and
• 25:00
  Speaker 7: Ashley Moody leading their races by double digits.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: Thank God, because we need data centers.
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no doubt.
• 25:06
  Speaker 7: Donalds is up 11 percentage points in the governor's race
• 25:09
  Speaker 7: against Democrat David Jolly. Moody is also up 11 in
• 25:12
  Speaker 7: her Senate race against Democrat Angie Nixon. The poll also
• 25:16
  Speaker 7: found President Trump as a 50 percent Democrat. Approval rating
• 25:19
  Speaker 7: in Florida, damn near double what it is with the
• 25:22
  Speaker 7: rest of the country. And Governor Ron DeSantis' approval rating
• 25:25
  Speaker 7: is 55%. As for Amendment 3, the poll finds 56%
• 25:30
  Speaker 7: support raising the homestead exemption, but that's short of the 60%
• 25:35
  Speaker 7: needed for it to become law. All right, in the meantime,
• 25:38
  Speaker 7: there's just 20 days, praise God, until the midterm elections.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: It's going to get so much better after that, Deb,
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: you're right.
• 25:44
  Speaker 7: University of Central Florida's Dr. Aubrey Jewett says, this is
• 25:48
  Speaker 7: music to the ears of anyone annoyed with the onslaught
• 25:52
  Speaker 7: of negative ads, but they prove effective.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: When you get people angry, upset, or scared, they will
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: do something.
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: Maybe in some cases it makes you more likely to
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: turn out.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: In some cases it might turn you off.
• 26:03
  Speaker 7: He says AI has also added to confusion as people
• 26:06
  Speaker 7: try to verify information. Early voting begins in Broward and
• 26:10
  Speaker 7: Miami-Dade Monday and runs through November 1st ahead of the
• 26:13
  Speaker 7: general election on the 3rd.
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: I believe that goes for us here as well.
• 26:16
  Speaker 7: White House officials have officially called off President Trump's trip
• 26:19
  Speaker 7: to Sunday's Buccaneers-Steelers game at Raymond James Stadium. I just
• 26:23
  Speaker 7: saw that yesterday that he was planning to attend. And
• 26:26
  Speaker 7: then today, despite initial reports from CNN, Sports Illustrated and others,
• 26:31
  Speaker 7: Trump will no longer attend. Attend the matchup. The shift
• 26:34
  Speaker 7: follows J.D. Vance's recent midterm rally in nearby Lakeland. For us,
• 26:39
  Speaker 7: he's probably tired.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: He's exhausted, man. He's 80 years old, dude.
• 26:43
  Speaker 7: And then speaking of on the Gulf Coast still, Tampa
• 26:46
  Speaker 7: Bay back on even ground in the American League Championship Series.
• 26:49
  Speaker 7: The Rays bounced back last night, beating the Cleveland Guardians
• 26:52
  Speaker 7: 3-1 to even the best of seven series at a
• 26:55
  Speaker 7: game apiece. Tampa Bay now heads to Cleveland for Game
• 26:58
  Speaker 7: 3 tomorrow night. Meanwhile, in the National League, the Dodgers
• 27:02
  Speaker 7: are fighting to stay alive as they host the Brewers.
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: Tonight, trailing two games to none.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'm torn. Go Brewers.
• 27:08
  Speaker 9: I was rooting for Tampa because I like smaller market
• 27:13
  Speaker 9: teams with a lower salary. And I find out Cleveland... Is.
• 27:16
  Speaker 7: That so frustrating to say he feels that way and yet.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: He's a Yankees fan?
• 27:21
  Speaker 9: Cleveland's salary, $ 20 million lower than the Rays. There's a
• 27:25
  Speaker 9: low market team now. The small market.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: You're doubling and tripling down. I know. I think we
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: make more than the Indians.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: Guardians, Jimmy, Guardians.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, whatever.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: Geez, Jack, good Lord have mercy.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: He was yawning, Jimmy.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: You're the one who said it. I didn't say anything.
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: All right, let me save all of you.
• 27:48
  Speaker 7: Americans are going to spend an estimated celebrating Halloween this year.
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: This is Americans total.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: It doesn't feel like the Halloween vibe is as vibey
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: as it usually is. The vibe isn't as vibey? The
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: vibe isn't as vibey. Maybe it's because everything's so expensive
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: and people are like on a pension dollars, but I
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: don't have the, I'm not getting the big time money
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: Halloween vibe. I know I'm wrong.
• 28:10
  Speaker 9: You want to know how the fact that that is
• 28:12
  Speaker 9: completely wrong is the fact that even Deb has already
• 28:15
  Speaker 9: been in a Halloween costume.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a question.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: At a party.
• 28:18
  Speaker 20: Yeah.
• 28:18
  Speaker 10: Right?
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: This is total America?
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: Total America. All of us collectively are expected to spend
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: this amount.
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: $ 3.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: 1 billion.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: So it's not per household? No. Or maybe according to
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: that laugh, it is. $ 11 billion. I'll go $ 20.
• 28:34
  Speaker 7: How about $ 13.
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: 5 billion?
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: Wow, man, that's so much cash.
• 28:40
  Speaker 7: That's according to the National Retail Federation, which expects spending
• 28:43
  Speaker 7: to increase this year by some $ 400 million.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: Jeez Louise.
• 28:48
  Speaker 7: Some three-quarters of consumers say they plan to celebrate. That
• 28:51
  Speaker 7: includes everything from handing out candy and carving pumpkins to
• 28:55
  Speaker 7: watching scary movies and dressing up in costumes and kind
• 28:58
  Speaker 7: of like Buying paint and car parts. Be prepared to
• 29:02
  Speaker 7: pay for your Halloween costume. Oh, it's better to make
• 29:06
  Speaker 7: it at home.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: And I think this is, well, I say a new thing,
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: not a new thing per se, but I believe like
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: since Halloween Horror Nights kind of started and kind of
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: got hold, you know, Halloween's turned into like an adult thing.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: It's not like a kid thing anymore. So back in
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: the day, it would have never been that much money
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: because adults were blowing it out of spirit every Halloween
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: for their biggest, baddest costume. We were in the 90s
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: and early 2000s. Really? Oh, yeah.
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: When you dressed up in the Matrix.
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 29:31
  Speaker 6: Very good.
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: So what is the top pick when it comes to
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: Halloween candies?
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: Reese's Peanut Butter Cup.
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: Anything Reese's. Give yourself a dong, Jack. You got that
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: right off the bat.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: Finally. Yeah, dong yourself.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: Dong yourself, Jack.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: We got a new dong? What is this? This is.
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: You can't... Why was that on a hot pad? Why
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: is that person summoning a demon? Why is that one
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: click away?
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: Why are you assuming it's a demon?
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: That was celebrating the Cleveland Guardians win. Okay, thank you, Jack.
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: Okay, DoorDash looked into its 2025 Halloween orders and found
• 30:04
  Speaker 7: that peanut butter cups were America's favorite candy for the
• 30:08
  Speaker 7: third straight year.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: So good.
• 30:10
  Speaker 7: With Hershey's and M & M' s right behind. Who doesn't
• 30:13
  Speaker 7: love the M & M' s commercial where he doesn't realize
• 30:15
  Speaker 7: he's been eating until his life floats off and realizes
• 30:18
  Speaker 7: it goes? Chocolate takes up most of the top 10,
• 30:21
  Speaker 7: but sour flavors are now competing with Airheads and Sour
• 30:24
  Speaker 7: Patch Kids making their way on the list.
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: Those things always hurt.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: Sour Patch Kids?
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they hurt.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: You can't eat too many of them.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: Haribo gummies.
• 30:33
  Speaker 9: Oh, yeah.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: We love them here.
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: That's so good, yeah. Joined the list for the first time.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: Wow, really?
• 30:38
  Speaker 7: How did Haribo not make it on there before that?
• 30:41
  Speaker 7: And DoorDash is calling it the candy to watch this year.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: Haribo.
• 30:47
  Speaker 7: The data also shows old school treats are making a
• 30:49
  Speaker 7: comeback with Circus Peanuts.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: God.
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: Orders up for Circus Peanuts are up what percent?
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: I don't care, but if Pepto Bismol was a candy,
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: that's what it would be. 40. 40%. 4%. I'm lost
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: in what we're guessing here from 40 to 4.
• 31:09
  Speaker 7: Because so old school treats are making a comeback. Circus
• 31:13
  Speaker 7: peanut orders are up 350%.
• 31:15
  Speaker 10: Damn!
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: Well, that's what happens when you go from two orders
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: to four. It's going to be like a gag or something.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: Lemon heads. Lemonheads, 200% up this year. I love a
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: box of lemonheads. Dude, lemonheads are awesome.
• 31:29
  Speaker 8: Really?
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: And bit of honey.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: No way. I like bit of honey. I do, too.
• 31:34
  Speaker 9: That's up 180%. Oh, the old filling removers. Yeah. I
• 31:38
  Speaker 9: think Ross is right. It's like, you know, you go
• 31:40
  Speaker 9: from selling two to five.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 31:43
  Speaker 20: They're up 350%.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: Just eat a bit of honey. It will literally take
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: the color out of your teeth. Dude, you kind of
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: look like the lemonhead guy. Dude, who? Me?
• 31:51
  Speaker 12: Ross?
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: Ross, for one thing, you've killed Debra.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: I was trying to breathe and cough.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: I do not look anything like the Lemonhead guy. Should
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: we bring up the Lemonhead guy? I'm going to go
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: search it.
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: Wait, he already put the powwow away. Now he's getting
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: the Lemonhead guy.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you what. Lemonhead guy better look like
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: Jon Hamm or I'm coming over there. He looks good.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: Does he look like Jon Hamm? Because if not, does
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: he look like one of the Hemsworths? I think he
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: looks like Jon Hamm in an unannounced role. Lemonhead candy guy.
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: Lemonhead candy guy. Use candy because all I have is
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: a picture of the Lemonheads, the band. How could you
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: possibly say I look like that? It looks like a
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: cabbage patch kid in bad gravity. You don't see where
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: I'm coming from? No, I do not, Ross. Ooh, wow.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: And that. That's Jim right there.
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: And that concludes.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: I look like that, Debra.
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: Your JCS News.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: Deedle-eedle-eedle-eedle-eedle. Lemonhead. Bubba don't plead the fifth. Sorry, back in
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: a sec. Love you guys so much, all of you.
• 33:01
  Speaker 11: I don't know if I've ever laughed as hard as
• 33:05
  Speaker 11: you kind of look like.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: The Lemonhead guy. Just saying. That's bananas.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: Bananas.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: Something else that's yellow. Even worse.
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: If you go to JimCoperLive.com right now and check out
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: the live feed that we have from the studio. Who
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: did that?
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: I don't know, but it's a little.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: Oh, the biggest D in the entire world did that. Literally. Yeah.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: So immediately, I'm texting Daniel Dennis during the show and
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: during the breaks, and he heard that segment because he
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: listens all the time because he's a geek, and he
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: sends that immediately over. He goes, Lemonhead guy. He did
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: that in five seconds. Eat up with it, that guy.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: This is why we need more data centers. Yeah, yeah,
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: more data centers so Jim can be Lemonhead more.
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: That's a little Colonel Sanders as well.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: Why you make me so fat, Daniel? God Almighty, dude.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: Give me a break. My head's not that wide. All right.
• 34:07
  Speaker 5: 407-916-1041.
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: Text us 77031. Your 3 o'clock keyword is deposit. D-E-P-O-S-I-T.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: Got about 8 minutes or so to get over to
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: realradio.fm and send that away for your chance at $ 1, 000.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: I'm Jim. There's Deb.
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: Hello.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: Jack is here as well. Yeah, he is. And so is.
• 34:23
  Speaker 15: Ross.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: It's all true. It is all true. For you old
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: schoolers out there, Ross, do you have a particular show
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: or a particular movie or something that you have to
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: watch every Halloween that you feel like? I know that
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: everybody has their Christmas shows and stuff, but is there
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: one that you watch during Halloween? I know that there
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: are a lot of the horror movies people are like, well,
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: I'm going to watch Friday the 13th or Halloween 1
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: because I like throwing it back to the OG of
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: the slasher movies or something like that. Do you watch
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: any of that stuff?
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: I don't know if I have a movie that's every year,
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: but I have a movie that's most years, and I
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: have a handful of movies that's most years. So there's
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: probably like four movies that I just rotate throughout my Halloweens.
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: 28 Days Later is one of the best ever. I
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: think it's not just one of the best horror films.
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: I think it's flawless from start to finish. Agreed 100%.
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: What's another one? There's also hokey ones. I'm kind of
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: embarrassed to say this, but I like some Hocus Pocus. Oh,
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: I love Hocus Pocus. I don't mind a little Hocus
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: Pocus on the TV around this time.
• 35:25
  Speaker 14: Oh, yeah.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: So there's some go-tos. All right, very good. You guys
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: feel the same way? Do you have something you like
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: to watch for Halloween? Charlie Brown. Now, that's exactly why
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: I brought this up. Did you see the story? No.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: So the rights of that have been purchased, I believe,
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: and they kind of took that off network television and
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: moved it on to one of the other.
• 35:43
  Speaker 9: Apple TV Plus for the past couple of years. So
• 35:45
  Speaker 9: that's exactly what happened. This weekend is the Apple TV
• 35:49
  Speaker 9: Plus where you can watch Charlie Brown for free. And
• 35:52
  Speaker 9: for me, and I know a lot of people my age,
• 35:56
  Speaker 9: this special was one of the only Halloween specials that
• 35:59
  Speaker 9: you could watch. There really weren't any Halloween shows when
• 36:02
  Speaker 9: we were kids. This was legit one of the only
• 36:05
  Speaker 9: shows built specifically to talk about Halloween.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's it. So, I mean, like, this is
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: like a rite of passage kind of thing for me.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: So I will be watching, um, the Charlie Brown. I
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: think it's the great pumpkin, Charlie Brown.
• 36:17
  Speaker 9: This is back when we were kids, when the TV
• 36:19
  Speaker 9: had two settings on and off, right?
• 36:21
  Speaker 5: Exactly.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: Three channels. Uh, but these, you know, these shows are
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: like a part of my childhood. And that's why I
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: like a lot of the Charlie Brown shows, whether it be,
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: you know, Charlie Brown's Christmas or any of the shows,
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: because it, it just is such a nostalgic flashback. And
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: it's the same with the Rankin and Bass holiday Christmas specials.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: And yeah, For us, back at the time, it's waiting
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: for it to come. It came on once, and that
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: was it. That's it. You didn't even have a VCR
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: to record it back then. And the only thing I
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: never understood is why they aired them so early. Like,
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: even with the Rankin and Bass shows, and for what
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: we're seeing with the Rankin and Bass, it's the stop-motion, like, Rudolph... Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: Shows like that that kind of inundate television during the
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: Christmas season. Yeah, without a Santa Claus.
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 37:00
  Speaker 15: Oh, yeah.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: But they would always play those like the first week
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: in December. I remember like right after Thanksgiving, you had
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: to have your S together. Yeah. Because if you didn't,
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: you would miss all these shows because they played them
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: in the beginning of the season rather than closer to
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: the actual holiday, which I always found wild.
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: Another thing that's kind of blowing my mind talking about
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: like nostalgic Halloween movies.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: So another big one was Halloween Town.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 37:21
  Speaker 13: Right?
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: Halloween Town, when you find out that the grandma was
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: a witch.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's just a really, really fun,
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: wholesome movie. I think it was on Disney or something.
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: And that came out, like, in the late 90s, did
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: it not?
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: It came out in 98. In fact, that's actually kind
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: of where I'm going with this. I was born in 89.
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: That movie came out in 98, which means I was
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: nine years old. And I look at nine-year-olds now as
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: far more adult than the nine-year-old me. Like, I saw
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: a nine-year-old smoking last night. Like, you know, like they
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: come back with like tattoos and war stories at this
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: time at nine.
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: I sold him the cigarettes. Yeah. So I don't know.
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: That just kind of made me stop in my tracks
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: of like even nine year olds are different.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: Dude, my kids loved Halloween Town. They loved it. We
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: would pile up in my recliner and watch Halloween Town.
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: They were like probably four or five, six years old.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: It was playing in the early 2000s at that point.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: And man, they loved it. Who was the star of that?
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: It's a bunch of, it's Kimberly J. Brown, Debbie Reynolds,
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: Joey Zimmerman. It's not a whole bunch of people. Did
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: you have one, Deb? Did you watch the Charlie Brown shows?
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. And now it's Nightmare Before Christmas, Hocus Pocus.
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: That's wild, yeah, yeah.
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: And Hocus Pocus and Titanic have something a little uncommon
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: for me.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: Because those are some, that's like first boobs. Oh, there's
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: boobs in Hocus Pocus?
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: There's not boobs, not raw boob, but there's this level
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: of cleavage that young me was not ready for from
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: Sarah Jessica Parker.
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, really?
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: She was the pale one with the corset, and everything
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: was just getting pushed up.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And little me was like, I
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: think I like girls.
• 39:00

• 40:51
  Speaker 7: Daisy Fiore and Billy Owlish from the Audubon Center for
• 40:54
  Speaker 7: Birds of Prey.
• 40:55
  Speaker 5: Yay!
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: Other than bats, are owls the most associated with Halloween?
• 41:04
  Speaker 20: Owls, spiders, bats. I think they're all in competition.
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: Spiders.
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: You started this interview off with woo. They forgot the
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: right person.
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: Daisy's one of my favorites. I love it when Daisy
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: comes in. You had a nice compliment. Somebody on the
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: texting service said they love it when you come in
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: because you're always sweet and spread joy. I agree with that.
• 41:25
  Speaker 20: Aww, that's so cute. So does Billy.
• 41:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah.
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: Billy Owlish.
• 41:29
  Speaker 7: Yeah, what are you, well, if you see Billy having
• 41:32
  Speaker 7: a snack, what's the snack there, Daisy? You got a
• 41:34
  Speaker 7: little pouch around you, and you know, normally, you know,
• 41:37
  Speaker 7: you get little cat or dog snacks, but not Billy.
• 41:41
  Speaker 20: No, I have a raw mouse in my.
• 41:44
  Speaker 9: Snack pouch.
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: You keep that high five to yourself.
• 41:48
  Speaker 20: My hands smell so good.
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: Like a Sushimi rat?
• 41:51
  Speaker 21: Heck yeah.
• 41:51
  Speaker 20: No, it's just like, The whole mouse, the bones, the organs,
• 41:55
  Speaker 20: all that. Ground up. Delicious.
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: We love it.
• 41:59
  Speaker 20: She was like, don't be so dramatic.
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: She literally did look at you like, dude, are you okay?
• 42:08
  Speaker 20: When we get back, she'll probably get a worm.
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: Extra good performance.
• 42:12
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: What would be the zenith of food for an owl? Like,
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: we love filet mignons as a human, right? What would
• 42:21
  Speaker 4: be an owl's filet mignon? Well, first of all, this
• 42:24
  Speaker 4: is a screech owl, right?
• 42:26
  Speaker 20: Correct.
• 42:26
  Speaker 7: Eastern screech owl. Is this the smallest of the owl
• 42:30
  Speaker 7: breeds that we have in the States?
• 42:31
  Speaker 20: Yes, the smallest in Florida, for sure.
• 42:33
  Speaker 7: Okay, so this would be like the filet mignon for
• 42:35
  Speaker 7: like a barred owl?
• 42:37
  Speaker 20: Possibly.
• 42:37
  Speaker 14: A little snack for a barred owl. You know, you've
• 42:41
  Speaker 14: got the right animal, just the wrong part. All raptors
• 42:45
  Speaker 14: universally love beef hearts.
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: Do they really?
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: Yes. I was not expecting that.
• 42:51
  Speaker 20: They probably couldn't get in the wild.
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: They're all Peruvian.
• 42:54
  Speaker 14: But you can actually go to Publix. You can ask
• 42:57
  Speaker 14: the butcher for a beef heart. They're very expensive. Some
• 43:00
  Speaker 14: humans do eat them. I'm told it's delicious.
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm telling you, it's a Peruvian staple.
• 43:04
  Speaker 7: It really is.
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 43:05
  Speaker 20: But the birds love it.
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: I wonder why.
• 43:07
  Speaker 20: Is it because of the iron.
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: Level or something?
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: I would imagine.
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 43:11
  Speaker 20: It is kind of fatty.
• 43:12
  Speaker 11: Oh.
• 43:12
  Speaker 14: So I imagine it's like partly that, but it's like
• 43:15
  Speaker 14: candy for these guys.
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: They go absolutely nuts.
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: Wow. That's crazy.
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: Can you get her to talk?
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: Was that the owl?
• 43:20
  Speaker 20: You know, Billy's not a big talker.
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: She's not?
• 43:22
  Speaker 15: No.
• 43:23
  Speaker 20: I mean, not during the day. At night, she's pretty chatty.
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like she chatted up.
• 43:27
  Speaker 20: You know, she'll mostly only talk to other owls.
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: We're trash.
• 43:32
  Speaker 20: What was that, Ross?
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: No, I thought I heard a noise. Did someone? That
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: was Deborah. Oh, I was like, damn, did the owls chirp?
• 43:39
  Speaker 20: It was not bad, though.
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: That was close.
• 43:41
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 43:42
  Speaker 7: I used to call her the owls when I lived
• 43:46
  Speaker 7: in Delaney Park. So Billie Owlish has been with you
• 43:49
  Speaker 7: guys for quite a while now.
• 43:50
  Speaker 4: She has.
• 43:51
  Speaker 14: She turned six or seven this year. And she's been
• 43:54
  Speaker 14: with us since she was like tiny, like three weeks old.
• 43:57
  Speaker 14: She came in like the size of a marshmallow.
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: Right, yeah.
• 44:00
  Speaker 20: And she had an infection in both her eyes. She
• 44:02
  Speaker 20: just got it out in the wild. It happens.
• 44:04
  Speaker 14: But it destroyed one of her eyes. So it's very
• 44:07
  Speaker 14: hard to hunt without death perception. Sometimes adult owls can
• 44:11
  Speaker 14: figure it out if they've already learned to hunt and
• 44:13
  Speaker 14: they lose an eye, but a baby who's never had
• 44:15
  Speaker 14: the eye.
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: Is just impossible.
• 44:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: And she's just kind of been an ambassador since that moment, correct? Yeah. Well,
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: she was with us.
• 44:21
  Speaker 14: So small that like, she's really chill. You know, I
• 44:25
  Speaker 14: say she's my chillest soldier. She's the one I take
• 44:27
  Speaker 14: to events and preschools.
• 44:28
  Speaker 20: Are owls found on every continent? Except Antarctica.
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: Okay. Wow, really? So there's not like a snow owl?
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: I thought there was. Oh, there is. Yeah, there's a
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: snow owl. They're beautiful, my God, man. Yeah, but they
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: don't chill in Antarctica?
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: No, they're north.
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: I guess there's no trees in Antarctica.
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: I have seen one snowy owl in my whole life.
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: One snowy owl.
• 44:53
  Speaker 15: Woo!
• 44:53
  Speaker 20: In the wild?
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: In the wild.
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: We're talking wild.
• 44:56
  Speaker 7: In the wild, in Wisconsin, in the wintertime. It had
• 44:59
  Speaker 7: come and flown and landed on the top of a theater.
• 45:02
  Speaker 7: That bird had to have been huge. It was huge.
• 45:07
  Speaker 7: Wingspan alone. Very rare to see a snowy owl.
• 45:11
  Speaker 20: I've only ever seen one in a zoo.
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: Really, yeah. How often do you make the mistake with Ratfinger?
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: and do stuff on your face with rat finger. Do
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: you accidentally, like if something happens on your face, you
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: forget you have rat finger and you reach up there
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: and scratch it with rat finger? Yeah, all the time.
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: Is it like poop chalk?
• 45:27
  Speaker 20: I'll like find it in my hair when I shower.
• 45:30
  Speaker 14: One time I found a whole mouse in my pocket.
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: Oh, cool.
• 45:32
  Speaker 20: And I went through the laundry and I was like, well...
• 45:35
  Speaker 20: His pants are ruined.
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, people are going to look at you and go,
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: that's an odd climbing aid.
• 45:42
  Speaker 20: Yeah, every zookeeper has done it. You find hay in
• 45:46
  Speaker 20: weird places. You're sitting on the couch and you're like,
• 45:48
  Speaker 20: why is there hay?
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: But not an animal. You just put an animal in
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: there like a crumpled up fiber. He ever say hi
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: to hay? There's a mouse in my couch. Good Lord.
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: So what's going on? We were talking before the segment.
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: You said that things are cracking over at the center.
• 46:03
  Speaker 14: Oh my gosh, we're going to be so busy this fall.
• 46:05
  Speaker 14: We got a bunch of new stuff planned. You know,
• 46:07
  Speaker 14: we built our brand new owl aviary and we're like,
• 46:10
  Speaker 14: Halloween's on a Saturday.
• 46:11
  Speaker 20: Let's get spooky.
• 46:12
  Speaker 14: You know, we got these owls. So we've never done
• 46:15
  Speaker 14: a Halloween event, but we are doing one. It's called
• 46:17
  Speaker 14: Hawks and Haunts.
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: I love it.
• 46:19
  Speaker 20: I came up with that and I'm so proud of it.
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: That's a doctor working hard.
• 46:24
  Speaker 14: That's why I get paid the very medium bucks. So
• 46:27
  Speaker 14: it's Halloween on Halloween, 10 a.m.
• 46:30
  Speaker 20: To 2 p.m.
• 46:31
  Speaker 14: Two of us went, I can go get the candy
• 46:33
  Speaker 14: and then didn't communicate and both went and got the candy.
• 46:36
  Speaker 14: So for the love of heaven, come get some candy
• 46:38
  Speaker 14: because I double purchased. So you can do your daytime trick-or-treating,
• 46:43
  Speaker 14: bring the kids, wear the costumes.
• 46:44
  Speaker 20: We're going to have a spooky bubble dance party.
• 46:47
  Speaker 7: Nice.
• 46:47
  Speaker 20: I don't know what that means. I'm going to play
• 46:49
  Speaker 20: Monster Mash and we're going to get nuts.
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: Come join us.
• 46:54
  Speaker 14: The birds will have some spooky toys. And get a
• 46:58
  Speaker 14: ton of candy and enjoy the birds. It's all included
• 47:00
  Speaker 14: with admission that day.
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's awesome.
• 47:02
  Speaker 20: You might as well come get the extras. But I'm
• 47:05
  Speaker 20: really excited.
• 47:06
  Speaker 14: The Saturday after Thanksgiving, the 28th of November, we're having
• 47:09
  Speaker 14: our first ever Holiday Market.
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's awesome.

  Speaker 14: Yeah, so we invited over a dozen vendors from all

• 47:31
  Speaker 20: It's going to be.
• 47:32
  Speaker 14: Amazing.
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right there in Maitland, too. Super easy to find. Yes,
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: so easy. Centrally located, easy to find. You're going to.
• 47:37
  Speaker 14: Have the family in for Thanksgiving weekend. You're going to
• 47:39
  Speaker 14: be looking for stuff to do anyway.
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. And kids love these birds, do they not?
• 47:43
  Speaker 12: Yes.
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, they lose their minds over these birds, don't they?
• 47:46
  Speaker 20: Yes. Oh, my gosh.
• 47:47
  Speaker 14: I'm sure I'll have Billy out at some point. There
• 47:49
  Speaker 14: will be lots for the kids to do, and you
• 47:52
  Speaker 14: can get your shopping done.
• 47:53
  Speaker 20: It's going to be awesome.
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: What kind of questions do they ask you guys about
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: the birds? I mean, is there a common thing, a
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: common trope that comes up from students who ask you
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: about the raptors?
• 48:02
  Speaker 14: Kids are very unpredictable. So they'll be like, who's Billy's
• 48:05
  Speaker 14: best friend? What's Billy's favorite color? Mostly kids ask, like,
• 48:10
  Speaker 14: what do they eat and where do they live? And like,
• 48:13
  Speaker 14: can they spin their heads all the way around?
• 48:15
  Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah.
• 48:16
  Speaker 20: Which, you know, three quarters of the way.
• 48:18
  Speaker 17: Yeah.
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: I have a question.
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: Another bird owl predator question is that like I'm seeing
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: right here. I'm just doing quick research about like I
• 48:25
  Speaker 4: want to learn more about owls quickly. And I'm seeing
• 48:28
  Speaker 4: that like if they eat an entire mouse, right? Skeleton, everything.
• 48:32
  Speaker 4: They just keep all the nutrients and throw up the
• 48:36
  Speaker 4: stuff that they can't digest.
• 48:38
  Speaker 20: Yes, sir.
• 48:39
  Speaker 4: And that's every bird that got the two finger diet.
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 48:43
  Speaker 14: Well, all the raptors. So they eat things whole. You know,
• 48:46
  Speaker 14: they don't have a fork and a knife. So the
• 48:48
  Speaker 14: owls just swallow it whole. If I gave her a mouse,
• 48:50
  Speaker 14: she could swallow it whole. There's fur and feathers and
• 48:53
  Speaker 14: bones and crap that you don't want. So they just
• 48:55
  Speaker 14: cough it up. That's an owl pellet.
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: Wow, really?
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: And that's why it's called owl pellet.
• 48:59
  Speaker 20: An owl pellet.
• 49:00
  Speaker 7: But that's also why it's really important if you have
• 49:02
  Speaker 7: rodents to find a more natural or.
• 49:05
  Speaker 15: Yes.
• 49:05
  Speaker 7: Because the rodent dies, then the owl eats the rodent
• 49:09
  Speaker 7: or the owl takes the rodent back to their nest
• 49:12
  Speaker 7: and feeds it to their young.
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: And now you have... Yes, exactly.
• 49:16
  Speaker 20: Rodenticides are a big, big problem for owls. It's a
• 49:19
  Speaker 20: lot of owls.
• 49:20
  Speaker 14: And pesticides do. Pesticides are like really small. So she
• 49:23
  Speaker 14: did a lot of insects.
• 49:24
  Speaker 20: So if you poison those.
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: You know, you're going to poison her.
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: Well, that's crazy, man.
• 49:29
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 49:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: So is it just the rural owls? I mean, or
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: like owls that live kind of in because the owls
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: live harmonious harmoniously in cities all the time.
• 49:38
  Speaker 14: Oh, yeah.
• 49:39
  Speaker 15: Oh, yeah.
• 49:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: So they would run into that rodenticide kind of thing. Oh, yeah.
• 49:42
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 49:42
  Speaker 20: You'd be surprised how much people in the country, though.
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, really? Yeah.
• 49:46
  Speaker 20: And pesticides on crops.
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 49:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 49:48
  Speaker 14: All kinds of stuff like that. I mean, the best
• 49:50
  Speaker 14: solution is to attract the owls, you know. When I
• 49:52
  Speaker 14: moved into my house, I had a rat problem in
• 49:55
  Speaker 14: the attic. And they were like, you know, put the
• 49:56
  Speaker 14: poisons out.
• 49:57
  Speaker 20: I didn't. But I did.
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: Put the owl in. Yeah.
• 50:00
  Speaker 14: I got a leaf pile in the back. I got
• 50:02
  Speaker 14: a brush pile. I attracted a pair of great horned owls.
• 50:05
  Speaker 14: They have babies every year. I haven't seen a rat since.
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: No way.
• 50:08
  Speaker 3: It's the best.
• 50:09
  Speaker 7: It's just between that and rat snakes, it's the best
• 50:12
  Speaker 7: way for natural protection.
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: But the leaf pile is what drew it?
• 50:16
  Speaker 20: Yeah.
• 50:17
  Speaker 14: So the leaf pile gave the rats a centralized location
• 50:20
  Speaker 14: to be. And so they're easy to hunt.
• 50:25
  Speaker 5: Oh.
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: So bamboo stands are very popular with rats as well, right?
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: So Ross has a big bamboo stand that he whacked
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: down a second ago. And I told him, I said,
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: you got to get that thing out of there because
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: rats go in the middle of those bamboo. And when
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: the bamboo falls, it makes like a little cave system
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: for them. But it brings all the owls to the yard.
• 50:42
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 50:43
  Speaker 14: Brush piles, leaf piles, they're shelter for a lot of stuff,
• 50:47
  Speaker 14: including insects, you know, overwintering. So any of that, that
• 50:51
  Speaker 14: can bring the prey population and then bring the predator population.
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: And I'm sure they're quite efficient hunters.
• 50:57
  Speaker 20: Oh, my gosh.
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 50:58
  Speaker 7: Well, it's kind of like having a bird feeder, right?
• 51:00
  Speaker 7: You have a bird feeder. It attracts your songbirds or whatever.
• 51:04
  Speaker 7: Then the feed that falls on the ground attracts the rats.
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: Right, yeah.
• 51:08
  Speaker 7: And so the snakes will hang around your bird feeder
• 51:10
  Speaker 7: because they know that's where they can eat the rats.
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: That's exactly what happened in my house in Geneva. We
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: had one of those that stuck to the window so
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: you could watch them doing it.
• 51:16
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: And saw a gigantic black saint right below it because
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: that's exactly what was happening.
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they know they're getting a free meal.
• 51:25
  Speaker 4: This whole time you've just been feeding this owl rat corpse,
• 51:28
  Speaker 4: and I want to say thank you.
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: I appreciate that. It's a little meatball.
• 51:34
  Speaker 7: I did want to ask you, though, Daisy, because we've
• 51:36
  Speaker 7: had a couple people text us this, and I really
• 51:38
  Speaker 7: don't know the answer. But a couple people texted us
• 51:42
  Speaker 7: at 77031 wondering if Hedwig in Harry Potter, was that
• 51:45
  Speaker 7: a snowy owl?
• 51:46
  Speaker 14: She was supposed to be a snowy owl. I know
• 51:49
  Speaker 14: a stupid number of facts about that owl, you guys.
• 51:52
  Speaker 3: No, that's cool.
• 51:53
  Speaker 14: It was actually like 10 separate owl actors. The main
• 51:56
  Speaker 14: one was Gizmo. But they're actually all males because in
• 51:59
  Speaker 14: Snowy Owls, the males are pure white and the females
• 52:02
  Speaker 14: actually have a lot of black spots and they wanted
• 52:04
  Speaker 14: her to look pure white.
• 52:05
  Speaker 20: So it's a male.
• 52:07
  Speaker 14: And if you watch the movie very closely, her eyes
• 52:09
  Speaker 14: change color from yellow to orange. And those are the different.
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow. Okay, there you go. There you go. Who
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: knew they had different eye colors?
• 52:17
  Speaker 20: Yeah, so snowy owls can be yellow-eyed or amber-eyed.
• 52:21
  Speaker 3: Is there a difference for the yellow and amber?
• 52:23
  Speaker 20: No, not really. Just like humans, you might have different
• 52:25
  Speaker 20: eye colors.
• 52:25
  Speaker 7: I've just noticed because when Jack will put the owls
• 52:28
  Speaker 7: up on the fourth box sometimes on our YouTube channel,
• 52:30
  Speaker 7: I wonder, well, why are their eyes orange and their
• 52:33
  Speaker 7: eyes are yellow?
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: But it's just a difference.
• 52:35
  Speaker 14: Screech owls have the same. Billy has, well, her pupil
• 52:38
  Speaker 14: is huge right now. She has very yellow eyes. But Sanford,
• 52:41
  Speaker 14: I'm sure you remember, he had green eyes.
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wow.
• 52:44
  Speaker 20: They have a couple different eye colors.
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: Somebody said, I guess the owls hunt also rabbits as well.
• 52:49
  Speaker 20: Bigger owl shirt.
• 52:50
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: And we moved in a neighborhood and had bunnies everywhere.
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: And then hawks and owls came around and we did
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: not have bunnies everywhere. Yeah.
• 52:57
  Speaker 7: And even crows will hunt baby bunnies.
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: Well, they really do.
• 53:00
  Speaker 3: Crows will hunt.
• 53:00
  Speaker 20: Well, and snakes as well.
• 53:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 53:03
  Speaker 11: Wow.
• 53:03
  Speaker 10: Incredible.
• 53:04
  Speaker 7: So where do folks go to get more information about
• 53:06
  Speaker 7: that wish list so that they can join you for
• 53:09
  Speaker 7: the market after Thanksgiving but also hawks and haunts?
• 53:12
  Speaker 14: Go to our website. It's audubon.org slash C-B-O-P. And then
• 53:18
  Speaker 14: there's an events page. We've got all of that. We also,
• 53:20
  Speaker 14: if you want to get like really up close and
• 53:22
  Speaker 14: personal with owls, we have owl prowls upcoming. Those are
• 53:26
  Speaker 14: exclusive nighttime events. We only take 20 people. It's separately ticketed.
• 53:31
  Speaker 14: You get to meet all the owls and you get
• 53:32
  Speaker 14: to walk around when they're all hooting and awake.
• 53:34
  Speaker 3: And doing stuff.
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: At night, that's when they come alive, right? Exactly.
• 53:38
  Speaker 3: Oh, that'd be fun.
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: That's pretty badass. We had our.
• 53:40
  Speaker 14: First one and every owl on property was hooting. I
• 53:43
  Speaker 14: couldn't get a word in edgewise, but it was a.
• 53:44
  Speaker 20: Ton of fun.
• 53:45
  Speaker 14: And we had to pause them for two years while
• 53:48
  Speaker 14: our old aviary got rebuilt. So we're just finally bringing
• 53:51
  Speaker 14: them back.
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: Well, back in swinging, hit that website again so people
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: can find that out.
• 53:55
  Speaker 14: It's audubon.org slash C-B-O-P.

• 55:14
  Speaker 8: presentation at our school where they brought out a bunch
• 55:16
  Speaker 8: of birds of prey, and one of them was a
• 55:19
  Speaker 8: snow owl. I mean, damn near three feet tall, and
• 55:21
  Speaker 8: the best part was Mr. Snowflakes, as he was called,
• 55:25
  Speaker 8: loved to get hugs from the kids. That was so
• 55:27
  Speaker 8: cool and so much fun. But Jimmy, speaking of owls,

  Speaker 2: You. And Ross. I didn't get the joke. Every Wednesday
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: around this time, we invite our good friend to drop by.
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: He writes for the Orlando Sentinel Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays.
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: You can read his column. Guys, good and loud for
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: Sweet Heat, Mr. Scott Maxwell. They call him Sweet Heat
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: from his head to his feet. Sizzling hot like an

  Speaker 2: asphalt street. Dripping to the swag of an Orlando Sentinel beat, beat, beat.
• 56:20
  Speaker 17: Ladies and gentlemen, columnist Scott into the Maxwell.
• 56:28
  Speaker 6: There it is.
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: Good luck for Scott Maxwell. I always forgot you demanded
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: an intro, so we have this four and a half
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: minute intro.
• 56:38
  Speaker 13: I like your listeners, and I like their jokes, but
• 56:40
  Speaker 13: I feel like a Cracker Jack prize rapper called and
• 56:43
  Speaker 13: wants that joke back.
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: For sure. Scott does write for The Sentinel. You can
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: read his columns Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. He has a
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: column in today's paper regarding choosing and voting for judges,
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: and I think we have a couple other things as well.
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: How you doing, buddy? How's your week been? Terrible. why
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: terrible why is your wheat been terrible you do have
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: a you do have a face of pain on today
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: like you got something uh taxing you what's up.
• 57:09
  Speaker 13: Our world went to stir-fried hell yesterday when uh you
• 57:13
  Speaker 13: tell me if you've ever heard this before cindy and
• 57:16
  Speaker 13: i are uh both working in the house during the
• 57:19
  Speaker 13: day And all of a sudden the power starts to go.
• 57:22
  Speaker 13: Like basically our power lines to our house decided after
• 57:26
  Speaker 13: 50 years, they'd done enough.
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: They were calling it quits.
• 57:30
  Speaker 13: So we are sitting in the house and the air
• 57:33
  Speaker 13: conditioning goes down and we're like, I don't look good.
• 57:36
  Speaker 13: And about 10 minutes later, the fridge goes down and
• 57:39
  Speaker 13: then the microwave and the TV. And then we get
• 57:42
  Speaker 13: to about an hour into this thing. And the only
• 57:44
  Speaker 13: thing we got left is lights and internet. Uh, left
• 57:47
  Speaker 13: in our house and, uh, we call it, uh, you know, the, oh,
• 57:50
  Speaker 13: you see, and they're like, oh yeah, you got a problem.
• 57:52
  Speaker 13: You know, and we're checking with all the neighbors, you know,
• 57:58
  Speaker 13: the neighbors like, Hey, everybody got a power outage.
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: And they're like, hell no. Everything's cool and comfy over here.
• 58:04
  Speaker 13: Apparently, after a while, power lines to your house just
• 58:08
  Speaker 13: decide they're done. And when you live in a house
• 58:12
  Speaker 13: like I do, built in the 70s, they can't find
• 58:15
  Speaker 13: those lines anymore.
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: So they just say, yeah, you don't have power anymore.
• 58:20
  Speaker 13: Now, what they're going to do, and bless their hearts,
• 58:22
  Speaker 13: is they just run a temporary power line.
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: My house looks like a hobo Holiday Inn right now.
• 58:28
  Speaker 13: It's just got a giant Fred Flintstone-like cord. running from
• 58:33
  Speaker 13: the street into the side duct tape and everything like
• 58:35
  Speaker 13: this was power in our house right now.
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: Like you're plugged into the county yeah yeah.
• 58:41
  Speaker 13: That's right it looks like something you'd see on a
• 58:43
  Speaker 13: saturday morning cartoon where somebody's like.
• 58:45
  Speaker 4: Now we're not now the house is gonna run it
• 58:47
  Speaker 4: looks like you're stealing a lot of cable hold.
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: On dude didn't you just get struck by lightning last
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: year didn't you just have to replace all your appliances
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: and televisions just not even 18 months ago.
• 58:59
  Speaker 13: We sure did, Jim. And we were sort of wondering,
• 59:01
  Speaker 13: how can this happen again? Fortunately, it wasn't that. Unfortunately,
• 59:04
  Speaker 13: this is the power company. And they will ultimately dig
• 59:08
  Speaker 13: up our entire yard and put new power.
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: Lines in it. But I just never heard of the
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: power lines deciding they were done. Wow. That's all they do.
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: It's so wild to have those things check out one
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: after the other. It goes down like domino effect of
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: just checking out completely. That's crazy.
• 59:27
  Speaker 13: Yeah, it was very strange, and also a nice 90-degree
• 59:30
  Speaker 13: day to not have heat for eight hours.
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, not have power for eight hours.
• 59:33
  Speaker 15: Wow.
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 59:34
  Speaker 13: These are all first-world problems, but when you asked me
• 59:36
  Speaker 13: how it was going, it was a day yesterday.
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: It was one. One of them. Yeah. Yeah, very good.
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: Let's get to the column. Of course, Scott does write
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: for the Orlando Sentinel. Like I said, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays.
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: Today's column was about choosing judges. And it was interesting
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: that I read that today because my wife has a
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: theory on voting for judges. She says, vote them out
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: every time. Vote them out every time. They've had a run.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: Let's get new judges in there. Vote them out every
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: single time. Now, of course, your column doesn't agree with that.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: I think there's four up for grabs. And you say
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: that three are worth retaining and one doesn't necessarily have
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: the best record.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 13: That's basically what I said, though. Admittedly, I don't even
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 13: feel strongly about those three. I was recapping the editorial board.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 13: But one of the things I was writing about, the
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 13: reasons I was writing about this is because if your
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 13: wife says vote him out, I can tell you that
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 13: she is in the distinct minority because there are two
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 13: kinds of judges elections. There are the traditional elections that
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 13: most people are familiar with. Two people, you know, Jane
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 13: Doe and John Doe or John Schmoe, they run against
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 13: each other and everybody decides who wants to be a judge.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 13: But after a judge gets appointed to a big court,
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 13: like the Supreme Court or the Court of Appeals, Florida
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 13: theoretically has a checks and balance. It's called merit retention.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 13: And voters in Florida get to decide whether these high
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 13: court justices get to keep their seats.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: It doesn't work that way in the United States Supreme Court.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 13: But never in the history of Florida have voters ever
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 13: decided to vote out a sitting judge on one of
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 13: these things.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: Zero times in, I don't think it's been a half
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 2: century or something like that.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 13: And I can't claim to be an expert on all
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 13: of the appellate judges, but our editorial board studies a
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 13: lot of these things. And they looked at four that
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 13: are on the ballots this year and all were appointed
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 13: by Republicans. And they said three of these have done
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 13: fine jobs. They should go. But one Supreme Court justice
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 13: named Carlos Muniz needs to go. And that is a
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 13: guy who I heartily recommended does need to go. And
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 13: I can say that because I watched him long before
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 13: He was a Supreme Court justice back when he was
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 13: basically sort of a bag man for Pam Bondi. You
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 13: may remember the Trump University scandal.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 13: When the short version of that was people felt like
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 13: they got swindled. People in two states mainly complained to
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 13: their state's prosecutors, people in Florida and in New York.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 13: In Florida, they complained to Pam Bondi. Donald Trump made
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 13: a $ 50, 000 donation to Pam Bondi. And then Pam Bondi's
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 13: office decided not to investigate. Carlos Muniz, as her deputy
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 13: chief of staff and I mean, deputy attorney general and
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 13: chief of staff was one of those who justified, you know,
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 13: this was this was an OK thing we did.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: Meanwhile, up in Florida, they ran with it and.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 13: They got all kinds of remuneration for remuneration for people
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 13: up there who'd been scammed. So Same complaints, two different states.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 13: People once got justice and the other did not. And
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 13: another thing I watched them on is there was a story.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 13: This was like 15 years ago. 60 Minutes did this
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 13: story on mortgage fraud and investigators in the state. You
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 13: may remember back in the 2010s, people were getting booted
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 13: out of their house for no good reason.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 13: For all sorts of technicalities. And there were these two
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 13: hard-nosed investigators in the attorney general's office that were doing
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 13: such a good job.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: Standing up for taxpayers. that 60 Minutes profiled them.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 13: And they were basically like, these are the only two
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 13: women who are standing between people unfairly losing their homes
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 13: and standing up to the mortgage industry.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: Well, Pam Bondi fired them.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 13: And the reason she fired them was because her chief
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 13: of staff slash deputy attorney general, Carlos Muniz, heard complaints.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 13: uh from the mortgage industry the office did and then
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 13: muniz uh uh sort of justified their ousting and they
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 13: were fired so like these two celebrated people uh for
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 13: standing up for consumers were gotten rid of and that's
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 13: all i need to know that that's not a guy
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 13: i want at the top court when when uh companies
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 13: are asking for the rights to sort of uh take
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 13: advantage of consumers i don't want him passing judgment so
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 13: anyway i'm voting no on that i do not suffer
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 13: any delusions that he will be tossed out of office because,
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 13: like I say, no Supreme Court justice has ever been
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 13: tossed out of office in Florida.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: But if they're going to ask me, I know what
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: I think. Sure thing. That's crazy. Like I said, I
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: read the story today, and that's just the start of it, right?
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 2: There's more with this guy, is there not?
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 13: Well, he's also part of the– the Ed Board also
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 13: made the case that this Supreme Court has just gone
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 13: off the rails and they say he's part of that.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 13: And I think you could debate. Some of the decisions
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 13: are debatable. I think one where they're really right is
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 13: the gerrymandering. You may remember DeSantis called this special session.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 13: He wanted to rush to gerrymandering. I don't think anybody,
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 13: I mean, it was you. In fact, Jim, you talked,
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 13: I think you may have been talking about this before
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 13: anybody else put it on my radar. It was like
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 13: Texas and California were like, we are going to intentionally force,
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 13: you know, designed the state to benefit our party unabashedly.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: Well, that's not OK by the Florida Constitution. It's not Florida.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: You can debate whether it's.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 13: OK in life, but it's not legal in Florida because
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 13: voters said we don't we don't want to allow that.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 2: Yet the Supreme Court gave a green light. And when
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: that was initially offered up by Governor DeSantis, didn't that
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 2: get didn't that get some pushback even from Republicans in
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 2: the House here in Florida as well or no? Was
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: that green lit from the very beginning? I thought for
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: some reason I mentioned that when they mentioned that, that
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: they they got some pushback because, of course, they've had
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: a contentious relationship since. the entire time and not the
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: entire time but you know many years he's been in
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: office the house has always had a little weird thing
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: with them but do you remember that or.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 13: No they they i think there was originally but the
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 13: you know the sort of the story in tallahassee has
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 13: been some push back to sort of you know you
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 13: know rotate him a little bit and then ultimately give
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 13: him what he wants the same thing with amendment three
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 13: they you know they said we're not going to do
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 13: this and then they.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 2: Did this right yeah yeah so crazy what else is
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: out there buddy what you got going Well, I also
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: just posted something I shared.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 13: I think it was probably part of your news earlier
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 13: this week, but RJ Middy, you may know him as
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 13: the Walter White Jr.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 2: From Breaking Bad. Yeah.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 13: And it was a terribly tragic story that he passed
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 13: away on Monday as a result of his family says suicide.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 13: And there's been a lot written about that. But what
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 13: thing I did not think most people here know is
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 13: that he was Big time plugged in to United Cerebral Palsy.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 13: Like it was his number one charity. He lived in Brownsville, Texas. Obviously,
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 13: he worked in Hollywood, other places like that. But when
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 13: he died on Monday, yesterday, his family came out and
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 13: told this millions of fans he died. They said, if
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 13: you want to do anything to honor RJ, please make
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 13: a donation to United Cerebral Palsy. And RJ, as you
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 13: may know, he played a kid with cerebral palsy on
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 13: Breaking Bad.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: He had cerebral palsy in real life.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 13: And he was just a big believer in telling kids
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 13: that your disease or your disability should not define you.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 13: And he'd been coming out here every year, sometimes twice
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 13: a year, just to inspire these kids and volunteer. And
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 13: at this past year's big fundraiser, He and his fiance
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 13: and my wife and I actually spent some time together
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 13: at the same table and got to know him a
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 13: little bit.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: And one of the.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 13: Things that struck both of us was that he didn't
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 13: want to talk about celebrity. He's still making movies. He's
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 13: still doing things like that. But he wasn't interested in
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 13: talking about typical Hollywood stuff. All he wanted to talk
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 13: about was helping these kids, some of whom can't lift
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 13: up their own heads, some of whom use feeding tubes.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 13: And he was saying those kids deserve every opportunity ever.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 13: That your kids deserve and they get a hard row
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 13: in life. And so I'm here to help an organization
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 13: that did. So it was it was pretty devastating to
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 13: fans of his that he took his life. And that's
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 13: a complicated thing. I would never presume to understand what
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 13: was going on there. But I did think it was
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 13: worth people. I didn't think it was worth knowing for
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 13: people around here that this is a guy who committed
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 13: a lot of time to helping disabled children here in Orlando.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 2: And even the kind of even again, you will never
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: understand when somebody is in the throes of that and
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 2: they consider taking their own life. But I'd even read
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 2: that he was doing events up until like a couple
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: of days before this before it happened. Like he was.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 2: doing charity events and hosting stuff like literally the day before.
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 4: There's a couple of heartbreaking podcast appearances that it's, that's
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 4: one of the worst parts is that whenever something like
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 4: this happens, you, then you look at the quick, you know,
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 4: recent memory of things that he's been a part of.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 4: And there's some just really heart wrenching interviews that are
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 4: now being resurfaced and they're tough to watch.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 13: And one of the ones Ross mentioned, I think was,
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 13: I mean, I don't remember when it was recorded, but
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 13: I think it aired the day before he died. And
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 13: you've seen actors like Bryan Cranston, the star, say he
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 13: and RJ had been making plans to have lunch last week,
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 13: and it was going to come soon.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 2: And so people don't understand it.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 13: I think it can be a fool's errand to try
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 13: to understand that there's something not working a lot of time.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 13: But I think the reason this one hit pretty hard
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 13: is this was a guy who– Just made it his life.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 2: He felt like he had so much to give.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 13: He loved to stand in front of kids and say,
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 13: you know, I was diagnosed at age three and people
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 13: thought you're never going to do what all the other
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 13: kids and grownups do. And every year he wanted to
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 13: go and say, you can you can do this and
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 13: don't let anybody else set your definition of your boundaries.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 2: So puzzling, so puzzling Scott, because he had already accomplished
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 2: so much. He'd already, you know, he, he, he'd kind
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 2: of persevered through the idea of having this debilitating disease,
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: had a film career, had a television career, was part
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: of what is most people consider the best TV show
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 2: that's ever been made. Um, and you could never understand, like,
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 2: how could somebody with that, that going, you know, have,
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: and then be engaged up until the moment of, you know,
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 2: what led to that? And you're, I agree. It is
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 2: a fool's errand. No way possible to know. It's, but yeah, uh, 34,
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 2: he's eight years old. So way too young, uh, now gone.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 13: But I know that, uh, UCP, which was originally United
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 13: Cerebral Palsy here in Orlando, uh, is going to get
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 13: a lot of support based on his family saying, if
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 13: you loved his work, if you care about the things
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 13: he did, this is the organization he would.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 2: Want you to donate to. So I thought his work
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: was worth recognizing. Well, also a little internally here, I
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 2: know that tomorrow you are going to appear on the
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 2: News Junkie to debate the Amendment 3 with Sean. Is
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: that true? That's what I understood.
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 13: Debate, a friendly discussion, an exchange of ideas, whatever you
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 13: want to call it. I think Jack, as program director,
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 13: is hoping for blood, blood seeping through the speakers coming out.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 9: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 9: too bad at my job for that. I just want
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 9: to see people get educated on what the true effects
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 9: of Amendment 3 could bring for our communities.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 2: I saw a thing on Facebook today that I responded to,
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 2: and it was somebody put up the salaries of some
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 2: of these people who who lead counties, and one of
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 2: the big complaints was like, how did you see that
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 2: the person who runs Orange County Public Schools makes like
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 2: $ 350, 000 a year? So I did a little research going
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 2: back there, and I said, well, how much– what do
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: you think the– I'll just ask you guys. What do
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: you think the budget is for Orange County Public Schools?
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: Oh, God.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: What do you think the budget is for Orange County
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 2: Public Schools for one year? $ 1. 2 billion.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 7: That's what I was going to say, $ 1. 5 billion.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: Billion? I'll go $ 200 million. $ 200 million. How many people
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 2: do you think the person who manages– Orange County Public Schools.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: How many employees is that? I know the answer to
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 2: that one.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: 3,500.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 2: Okay, let me give you an idea. So how much
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 2: do you think an executive makes in a company that
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 2: could make maybe $ 20 or $ 30 million a year and
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 2: has maybe 300 employees? You think that guy makes a
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 2: big $ 350K a year? Let me help. They do. And
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 2: that much more. This person manages $ 8. 5 billion and 24,500 employees. Wow.
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 2: For $ 350, 000. It's a deal. The dude probably should be
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: making a million. Running an organization like that, like I've
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 2: said a thousand times before, and like I said during
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 2: that post, I find it unbelievably odd. that somebody could
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 2: condemn someone's salary and have zero idea of what it
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: takes to do that job. Zero. But yet they do
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: it over and over trying to prove that Amendment 3
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: is wasteful because they pay people who run gigantic budgets,
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 2: manage unmanageable situations, and they pay them salaries that they
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: themselves don't see themselves making so they don't think anybody
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: else should make it if they don't think the job
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 2: equals it, which is amazing to me. That is an
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 2: interesting psychosis to me. How you could look at somebody
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: and go, well, that person shouldn't make that much money
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: because I don't think the job requires that much to
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 2: make it when you don't have any idea what the
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 2: job requires. Unbelievable. But it's happening over and over online.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 4: Well, I think it stems from a different thing. It's
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 4: from I think it comes from a place of frustration
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 4: because if they feel that way with the lack of context, well,
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 4: it's because they're not happy about how things are going.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 2: Understood, but why take it out on somebody who's doing
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 2: a job? Couldn't agree more. Yeah, you shouldn't take it
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 2: out on them. They're not doing anything wrong. They just
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 2: see the number 350 and are like, well, that person
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 2: doesn't deserve that. How hard could that job be? Not
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 2: knowing how hard the job is at all.
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 13: I got into this business to combat government waste. Like
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 13: that's a lot of what we do is when there's
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 13: misspending 300, I've looked at the same numbers.
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 2: Jim, $ 350, 000.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 13: For managing a workforce of, it varies between 23,000 and 25,000.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 2: That seems actually low, way low.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 13: You're going to have a tough time finding a private
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 13: sector company with a, who CEO oversees that many people
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 13: making maybe even a third, you know, three times that much.
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 13: But on top of that, Let's say you're let's say
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 13: you're outraged about all those salaries. Do you know what
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 13: percentage of a budget executive salaries constitute?
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's a fraction of a percent.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 13: If you're pissed off, let's fire every one of the
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 13: top 10 people at Orange County.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 2: And guess what?
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 13: You ain't done squat to change the way the budget
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 13: runs because the trash has still got to get picked up.
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 13: The streets have still got to get sweeped. The library's
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 13: still got to be open. Everything else goes on. And
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 13: the way that it works in this state is we've
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 13: decided that we want to fund local government with property taxes.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 13: We don't have income tax. That's a big deal here.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 13: We do not have income tax.
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 2: We've decided.
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 13: And so if you want to tell a county or
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 13: a city that more than half, more than half of
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 13: the homeowners no longer have to pay anything whatsoever for
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 13: local government taxes, Who do you think is going to
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 13: pay for it?
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: How do you think it's going to offer it? Well,
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 2: like I said during my comments, Scott, it's not stopping
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: and it's shifting it. I mean, we'll get ready to
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 2: pay more for everything else because the money has to
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 2: come from somewhere. They're cutting budgets like crazy and they're
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 2: still finding shortfalls. So it is a math problem that
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 2: doesn't math. Yeah, I'm going to get a break. I
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 2: would get a break under this thing. Absolutely.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 13: I'll take it right to the bank.
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 2: My kids.
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 13: who are renters, are going to see their monthly costs skyrocket.
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 13: I realize there are some people who are fine with
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 13: that math.
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: You're right, exactly.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: I'm not.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, always good seeing you, Scott. Guys, good and loud
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: for Scott Maxwell. What do you say?
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: Yay!
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 2: What time is the Blood Fest tomorrow? What time is
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 2: that happening? 2 p.m. 2 p.m., right? All right, very good.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 2: So tune in to News Junkie tomorrow at 2 o'clock.
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 2: Scott Maxwell and Sean Lawson will debate Amendment 3. Always
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: good seeing you, buddy. Like gentlemen. Yes, like gentlemen for sure.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 2: All right, 407-916-1041. Text us 77031. Back in one sec
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 2: with more of the Jim Colbert Show. Because they're jealous.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 6: And they know that they will never be successful and
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 6: able to put in the effort required to do the
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 6: job that that person does to deserve the salary that
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 6: they make. They're too lazy and too jealous to pull
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 6: up their bootstraps and do the work that they need
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 6: to do.
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 2: So they need to bring them down and yell at
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 2: them for what they make. Well, I will tell you,
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 2: I think the same argument used to be made with
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 2: professional athletes, with people when they saw the professional athlete salary,
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 2: they're like, oh, what do they do? It's a game.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 2: But they don't understand the aspect of a professional athlete
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 2: bringing 30,000 people to an arena that are going to
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 2: pay $ 75 for that and pay $ 80 for food and
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 2: drink while they're there. It's way more than just what
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 2: that person makes. It's what they provide to whoever pays
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 2: them that money. I mean, famously here in Orlando, Rich
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 2: DeVos said, No athlete's worth $ 100 million. And Shaquille O'Neal
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: went to L.A. and showed them exactly how much an
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 2: athlete could be worth. And if you don't know this,
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: I'll break the news to you. That affected our community's GDP.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 2: It did. 100%. That impacted all of Orlando's 90s history.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 2: And I think it's even a little bit more insidious
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 2: than what our friend there said, our caller said, because
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 2: I think there is a certain aspect of that that
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: What's the word I'm trying to find? When you look
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 2: at somebody's salary, or if you happen to know that,
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 2: and this is public stuff, and you go, well, I
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: don't think that. I don't think you. It doesn't sound
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 2: like you deserve that. I'm talking to somebody online right now.
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 4: $ 8.
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 2: 5 billion budget, 24,500 employees. I bet money if you
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 2: went into the private sector and found somebody that managed
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 2: a company with that many assets and that many employees,
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 2: that person's probably making anywhere between $ 2. 5 million and $ 5
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 2: million a year. Minimum.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 9: And for the person who has those skills able to
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 9: accomplish that, there is competition out there.
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 9: And there's companies of that size, whether it's a private
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 9: sector or other school districts, who are willing to pay that.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 2: And again, like Scott said, if you blow out the
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 2: top 10, what are you going to replace them with?
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 2: It's one of those magical things where you fire a guy.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 2: You may get lucky to find somebody that will do
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 2: that job for $ 350, 000, again, that's actually qualified to do
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 2: that job. So it's just amazing. I don't know. It's
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 2: always been wild to me when people say that, well,
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 2: that person doesn't make that much money, but yet teachers
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 2: make like $ 65, 000 a year. What do they deserve?
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 4: The athlete one has always been a pet peeve of
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 4: mine because if you've ever been around competitive sports, even
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 4: on a youth level, you understand that everyone that goes
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 4: to that high school football team, right? We're not talking about,
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 4: not even in the county, it is so incredibly hard
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 4: to become a professional athlete that your brain, my brain,
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 4: can't even fathom.
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 2: Sure, yeah.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 4: So, like, not to even mention injuries, that you could
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 4: just snap something in college and then have it all
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 4: be done.
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 2: What's the average expectancy for an NFL player? It's like
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 2: five years, right? I believe, what is it, not for
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 2: long is what NFL stands for, right?
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 4: I mean, there's so many countless stories of people wasting
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 4: their money or losing their money.
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 2: I have a question for you when we come back.
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 2: Nothing crazy, though, but we ran a little late with Scott,
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 2: so we are short already. But I'll just kind of
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 2: put this in your head real quick. When did the
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 2: vacation in America start? When did the idea of going
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 2: on vacation start? It's not the 40s.
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 9: Do you want an answer? I think it's post-World War II.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 9: I think it's the affluent society. I think it's the 50s.
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 2: You don't think it was before that? Maybe with the
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 2: advent of the car? Like, do you think you're taking
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 2: a covered wagon on vacation? Because, I mean, where would
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 2: you go? I mean, a vacation means, like, days, travels,
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 2: 10 miles.
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 6: 20 miles.
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know what I'm saying?
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 4: Or people going on vacations on horse.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: That's kind of what my point is.
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 2: Back in a sec.
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 1: This is the Jim Colbert Show. Don't just listen. Watch
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: it happen. Realradio.fm slash watch.
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 22: Pull yourself up by the bootstraps is quite honestly the
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 22: dumbest phrase I've ever heard in my life. It's physically impossible, one.
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 22: And two, no, there is no two. You can't pull
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 22: yourself up by your own bootstraps anymore than you can
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 22: pick yourself up off the ground by grabbing your hair
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 22: and pulling it up.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 2: You can call and debate yourself anytime you want, dude.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 2: I'm going to take that. And you know what? Number two?
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 2: There is a number two.
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 2: WIN, W-I-N, WIN is your 5 o'clock keyword. Go to
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 2: realradio.fm and send that off for your chance at $ 1, 000. Remember,
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 2: you can enter using the iHeartRadio app. And when you're there,
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 2: please make us your number one preset. That's a giant
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 2: help for us. We appreciate it. I'm Jim. There's Deb.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 3: Hello.
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 2: And Ross. That's true. A lot of things on the
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 2: vacationing thing. I'm going to switch gears, though, because I
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 2: forgot we have Ross McCoy coming in a minute. The
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 2: Mo Comedy Jam is coming up this Saturday night with
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 2: two Stone Cold killers that are headlining. Plus, Amy the Psychic.
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 2: Her name is Amy LaCour? Amy LaCour, yes. She's going
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 2: to be on that bill as well. Will Blaylock and
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 2: Sean Finnerty are also on that. Amy the Counselor. She's
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 2: not a psychic. She's a counselor. I keep saying the psychic.
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 2: I don't know why I do that. But yeah, Amy
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 2: the Counselor, who is always on the Monsters, she's going
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 2: to be part of it as well. I didn't know
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 2: she was a stand-up in conjunction with that. I didn't
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 2: know that.
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 4: She's a very good friend of mine. At least, hopefully,
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 4: she feels that same way.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I never really asked her what she
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 2: thought about me.
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 4: But she is a talented comedian, but she's also just
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 4: such a good conversation. The counseling aspect of Amy LaCour
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 4: should not be overlooked. It's kind of helped me out
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 4: in some ways that... I will take to the grave.
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 2: And of course, Ross will be part of that as well.
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be a good ass time. I'm going to
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 2: be there Saturday night. Jack's coming out Saturday night, six o'clock.
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 2: It's the Mo comedy jam. Now I, I pardon me
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 2: here because I do not know this, this supports something.
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 2: Does it not?
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 10: Yes.
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 2: What does it support? I cannot remember ever. I know
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 2: that he's big on these things and, and I did not,
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 2: I did not see that part of the gig. Well,
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 2: maybe if McCoy is doing his job, he can tell us.
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 2: He's definitely going to tell us, but the reason I'm
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 2: kind of doing this is, um, I wanted to kind of, uh,
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 2: Daniel actually asked me earlier, he goes, are you talking
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 2: about the Shane Gillis thing today? I said, well, it's
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 2: been talked about a lot online and everything. I don't
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 2: know what to say about the Shane Gillis thing, but
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 2: we can talk about the Shane Gillis thing because you're
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 2: a professional comic. Ross is coming in. He's a comic
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 2: as well. So obviously, there's some things to be said there.
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 2: If you didn't know, Shane Gillis did SNL this past weekend,
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 2: and his monologue included a line of quote-unquote jokes that
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 2: talked about When did women in gyms become whores? Dress.
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 2: Dress like whores based on what they're wearing because of
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 2: the way the pants fit them or whatever. Anyway, catching
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 2: a bunch of crap about it.
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I know we talked about it on this week's
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 4: episode of Good Sauce as well.
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 2: That's tonight, by the way, at 8 o'clock. It is
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 2: on the tip of everyone's tongue.
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 4: And I, by all means, don't think that my two
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 4: cents is that radically important.
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 2: Do I get my.
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 2: Feelings hurt during that monologue. I did not.
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 4: But I will say this is that I do think
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 4: it is a drop in a larger bucket that is
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 4: not overflowing, but has had more water in it than
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 4: I've ever seen before.
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 2: You're talking about with the idea of using language like
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 2: that outwardly, as opposed to what's happened over the last
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 2: like 10, 15 years with the.
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 4: Uh, are also, how about this, man? I mean, just
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 4: straight up misogyny, the poor timing of literally this case
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 4: out in Cornell, uh, And I'm not here to debate
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 4: what you think or what somebody else thinks, but that's
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 4: in the news.
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 2: And it's just that's not good timing. And I don't know.
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 4: I just see I've had the ground change underneath me
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 4: four times, I think, doing live comedy over 17 years.
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 4: I don't like feeling this way, but this is my
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 4: least favorite ground.
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's an interesting time.
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 4: I still think he's probably the funniest comedian working right now.
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 4: The numbers also back that up. And to be honest
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 4: with you, the laugh that I had on my couch
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 4: on his live in Austin YouTube special is the hardest
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 4: I've laughed at stand-up in 10 years.
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 2: My thing I think that gets me the most is this.
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 2: We've gone through many iterations of comics. who pushed the
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 2: edge when it comes to content. We kind of know
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 2: what he does. My whole thing is like, you know,
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 2: it's like the frog and the scorpion story, right? You know,
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 2: it's the same thing. Like, what more would you expect?
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 2: Do you expect him to come out and start doing
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 2: really ethereal, intellectual stuff? He's Shane Gillis. I mean, the
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 2: whole idea is that whole kind of almost fake misogyny
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 2: kind of thing. And I don't even know how real
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 2: it is, to be honest with you.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 9: So you're saying if you're offended, you should be more
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 9: mad at Saturday Night Live and Lorne Michaels?
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 1: No.
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 2: But you're saying you know that Shane Gillis, you know
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 2: who he is. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I misunderstood your question.
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 9: The problem is if you're offended by it, you're saying
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 9: don't be mad at Shane Gillis.
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 2: Be mad at Lorne Michaels. Yeah, because they're going to
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 2: put a guy on that does that. It'd be like
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 2: them inviting Dice Clay and then getting mad at Dice Clay.
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 2: It's Dice Clay. That's what he does. But I just
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 2: think about, you know.
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 4: Half of this planet is female, and I can't look
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 4: at them in their eyes off of that monologue and
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 4: comfortably say, hey, it's just a joke. I can't, because
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 4: I'm aware, and God knows I'm not perfect, dude, and
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 4: I feel somewhat hypocritical because I'm somewhat insecure about some
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 4: of the jokes that I've said in the past, even
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 4: on this very station. And the one thing that I
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 4: just wish other comedians maybe would do more is... Uh, I,
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 4: I know I have swung and missed and I have
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 4: felt so sorry and I have lost sleep over jokes.
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 4: And I just don't know how many comedians are, that's
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 4: not their reaction when it's a swing and a miss.
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 4: It's usually you didn't get it. You didn't get the joke.
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 4: It's just a joke. And I, I come from the
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 4: thought of, I will never blame the audience. And there
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 4: comes a bunch of faults with that as well. But
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 4: I think the audience, for the most part, responded.
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 2: But you tune into SNL and you know Shane Gillis
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 2: is the host. You saw his last monologue. I mean,
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 2: you see his stand-up. You hear his stand-up. He's clipped
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 2: everywhere online. But you know what you're getting. Not really.
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 2: But this is different. How do you say not really?
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 2: I don't get it. I would say this is different
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 2: off of.
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 3: I've never seen a Shane Gillis... If you haven't assigned
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 3: it for what you do.
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 17: That's new.
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 2: Oh, I see what you're saying. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 7: So there's a large part of the audience that didn't
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 7: know what they were going to be getting.
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 4: And that's not just Shane Gillis. That's national broadcast television.
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 4: And we are creatures of our surroundings.
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 3: And SNL didn't know because it's live television.
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 4: And there's this weird– and this is what I mean by–
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 4: I think this is my least favorite ground to do
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 4: stand-up underneath is because there's this weird– fake stuff is
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 4: not doing well. TV shows aren't doing that great. Characters,
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 4: writing a character is probably doing the worst I've ever seen.
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 4: What is exploding? Stand-up comedy, because there is a real element.
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 4: I end every performance with, my name's Ross Padgett, have
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 4: a great night. It's not, my name's Ronald Jenkins, and
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 4: I was born in 1885, and here's my story. Like,
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 4: There's this weird blurring the line of real world and
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 4: fake world that stand-up comedy is doing right now. So
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 4: you're saying if he tells this joke in a show
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 4: that you pay money to, it's not even a story.
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 2: It's the fact that he did it on SNL. I'm
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 2: not trying to trap you. I'm just saying it's because
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 2: he did it on SNL that's the problem.
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 4: I think bigger platforms do deserve bigger responsibility.
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 2: Well, it's also network television. I mean, although it's in
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 2: the middle of the night, it is a network TV. But,
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 9: Yeah, because just like you mentioned that, well, Shane Gillis,
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 9: you went there. Like, if you go to his show,
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 9: then you have an idea of what you're signing up for.
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 2: You're watching Saturday Night Live. You may or may not. Yeah, understood.
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 4: For me, I look at the joke writing of like,
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 4: you could have said that same exact joke by instead
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 4: of saying, can we even say that.
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 2: Word on air? I don't even know. Right? Whore. Yeah,
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 2: you can say whore. Yeah, okay, all right. You can.
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 4: Instead of saying that, if you would have just said,
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 4: I didn't know girls dressed like that. Yeah. I didn't
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 4: know girls dressed like that. But that's not the joke, though, right?
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 4: I mean, that's not the joke you wrote.
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 3: No, the joke is that Shane Gillis was at the gym.
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 4: But that's the thing is that, like, that part that
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 4: everyone's upset about wasn't the joke. It totally was unnecessary,
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 4: if you ask me. In fact, the joke is that
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 4: he's in the back of all of these TikToks. So
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 4: it just seems like a completely unnecessary step. And right now,
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 4: How I perceive state of comedy is that so much
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 4: of it that's blowing up is jackass for words. Watch
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 4: this white guy say something that he's not supposed to say.
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 2: I was going to ask, do you think that movement
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 2: still has the same penetrating value it had with Andrew Schultz,
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 2: Theo Vaughn, Shane Gillis? I mean, the guy from Tony Hinchcliffe.
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 2: Is that whole movement still alive? Because I'd heard that
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 2: Hinchcliffe did a show recently in a... in an arena
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 2: that would have held that five years ago because it
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 2: was so hot, but hardly any sold. So I wonder
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 2: if that thing kind of has run its term, and
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 2: this is the what you're seeing is the first is
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 2: the first blowback on that wave of that or no.
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 4: I think it's still exploding. And to be honest with you,
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 4: there's still some parts of it that I enjoy. Like,
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 4: it's so complex to me.
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 4: Austin's comedy scene. I was just out there and a
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 4: lot of my friends have a lot of. honestly takes that.
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 4: I disagree about Austin. I think it's fascinating that comedy mothership,
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 4: Joe Rogan's comedy club gives every door guy, a acting class.
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 4: That makes me go, Oh, I know not a lot
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 4: of people probably know that.
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 4: And trying to pursue and better these no name comedians.
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 4: But there's also a side effect of like, yo, comedy
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 4: is influencing way more than entertaining right now.
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 2: And yeah, It's weird. I've never seen that happen before. Also,
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 2: you told me you saw a show recently where people
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 2: were using language on stage that was just inward and
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 2: stuff like that. And do you think those two things
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 2: blend together, what he was saying on the air, the
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 2: idea of pushing the boundaries as somebody that maybe shouldn't be?
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 2: Like you were saying, the white guy that's saying the
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 2: thing that's racially charged to the point where You're wondering
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 2: if somebody in the audience is going to get up
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 2: and say something on a scenario?
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 4: I kind of lost me. I got a little lost
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 4: in the sauce on that question, though. What were you
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 4: asking there? Do I all think it's all one part
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 4: of one notion?
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 4: I think that all of that is on the rise
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 4: and certain vocabulary is on the rise.
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 2: But it's the market, though, right? I mean, because if
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 2: there's no market for it, there would be no comedy
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 2: like that because nobody would be buying it. Nobody putting
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 2: you on TV. Your clips would die online. So there's
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 2: got to be a market for it. Somebody out there
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 2: likes it. Yeah, but I mean, is that enough to
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 2: make it okay? I didn't say it was okay. I'm
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 2: just saying there's an audience. And unfortunately, this is a business.
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 2: They're trying to make money. And if you can find
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 2: somebody who draws an audience and they don't get thrown
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 2: out of stage and they don't do anything that's crime,
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 2: they're going to use that to make money. I mean,
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 2: we know that for a fact. I mean, SNL brought
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 2: this guy back and they knew it was a roll
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 2: of the dice. Ultimately, was this a win for SNL?
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 2: I don't think it was. It was a win for
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 2: Shane Gillis because, I mean, he's gotten more free publicity
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 2: over the last three days than I think any one
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 2: person in America.
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 9: Did SNL also get that same free publicity? Yeah, but
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 9: it hit the same.
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 4: I mean, what's also wild is that he dropped an F-bomb,
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 4: which is like cardinal rule number one on that show.
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 4: Nobody's talking about that.
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 2: And nobody cares about the F-bomb because we've heard the
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 2: F-bomb a hundred times and it was, you know, 1230
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 2: at night or what.
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 9: No, I watch it. I was watching it live when
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 9: it happened. And it was shocking and it was fun
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 9: watching him try and recover. Mikey Day ad lib aligned,
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 9: which was hysterical in it. But it's also not even
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 9: illegal because it was safe harbor.
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 17: Right.
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 9: You know, they cut it out of the West Coast broadcast.
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 9: So it was one of the things, if you were there,
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 9: you got to see it. If not, it wasn't that
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 9: big a deal and there's no blowback over it.
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 9: It was obvious that was a mistake and not intention. Yeah,
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 9: these comments are way different.
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 4: I know this is like such a stretch, but I'm
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 4: going to exaggerate an example to hopefully make a point
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 4: that I hopefully people won't hate me for is that laughter.
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 2: People go, it's just a joke.
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 4: But jokes come with definitive statements, and they're usually hidden
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 4: within the joke. I'm going to put the thought in
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 4: your brain. I didn't say it. I didn't say I
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 4: put the thought in your brain, but I didn't say
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 4: it's an infant.
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 4: Comedians are are straight, soft tissue paper when they don't
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 4: sign up for the responsibility and the accountability of putting
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 4: that thought in an audience's head. You know what you did. Uh,
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 4: and sometimes within a joke, a definitive statement can get murky.
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 4: So I don't, I don't want to blame the audience
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 4: for going, what, what do you mean? This is what, what,
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 4: what's wrong with this is because sometimes it's hidden, but
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 4: every joke comes with a definitive statement where I'm going
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 4: with this. And I'll end it with this is that
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 4: there have been times in history where laughter has been
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 4: weaponized to degrade and dehumanize people.
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the roasts every single time.
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 4: I was thinking about more so blackface.
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 4: Or cartoons in the 30s and 40s where like that's
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 4: a thing. And I know that's a greatly exaggerated example.
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 4: But just to have something to be like, look, this
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 4: is when laughter can honestly do so much more than entertain.
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 2: And it's influencing more than I would like. And I
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 2: think Shane said it when he talked to Chelsea Handler
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 2: when she came at him for something that he said.
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 2: What was the Chelsea Handler comment to him? When there
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 2: was something he said and she came at him and
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 2: his statement. From the roast. Yeah, his statement after that
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 2: was like the statement I was trying to explain to you.
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 2: I think his comment was something like, oh, yeah, I
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 2: hear you, Chelsea. If you want to come back at me,
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 2: you can see me at the Madison Square Garden. I've
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 2: sold out two nights in a row. Yeah. So his
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 2: thing was, is that's your take, but I'm selling 60,000
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 2: tickets in the next two days. And I would argue
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 2: both things can be true. Sure, yeah, yeah. All right, 407-916-1041.
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 2: Text us 77031. Ross McCoy up next. We'll talk about

  Speaker 2: What up, dude? How are you? I'm doing excellent.
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 18: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 2: Doing excellent, huh?
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 17: Mm-hmm.
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 2: How long have I known you?
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 19: I was just thinking about this the other day, Jimmy.
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 19: I moved to town in 2001, started listening to the
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 19: Monsters at that time of the midday, like pretty soon thereafter.
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 19: And I think it was maybe like a year after
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 19: that that I buzzed up to Thurston's Used Cars.
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 2: That's the first time I met you, yeah.
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 4: And the deal was, if you took a test ride,
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 4: you got a free Blackberry.
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 19: Yeah, yeah. And I made sure to go up. Jim
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 19: was there on location that day. And me and my
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 19: kids and... We took a ride in a minivan, did
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 19: we not? We got in a minivan. We couldn't figure
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 19: out how to buckle my kid's car seat in. So
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 19: Jim was just like, put him on the floor. He'll
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 19: be fine.
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 2: Lay face down. You got better balance.
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 4: And then.
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 19: on like one of the first cell phones ever made
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 19: jim called into the cut into the monsters live while
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 19: we did a test.
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 2: Drive yeah and ross has been in the game for
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 2: a while here of course you've uh heard him on
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 2: tom and dan for many many years and uh running
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 2: uh open mics for a long time i know you
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 2: did that with s sandwich over at bull and bush
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 2: for many many years i don't think you do that
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 2: anymore right.
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 19: No i decided to step back from that and then
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 19: uh one of the comics on the lineup actually you
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 19: guys probably know her she comes in here a lot
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 19: amy lacore took over uh hosting there so Very nice.
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 2: And, of course, the gig coming up Saturday is very
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 2: exciting for us. My wife is a gigantic Will Blalock fan.
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 2: I am a gigantic Sean Finnerty and Will Blalock fan.
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 2: I've not seen Amy do stand-up. I've seen you do
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 2: stand-up a number of times because I've been to the
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 2: open mic nights that you've hosted for many, many years.
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 2: And I think this is one of the best lineups
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 2: I've seen for this gig. Well, tell him you're a
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 2: fan of him, too.
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 5: Come on.
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 2: I am a fan of him. He knows. You didn't
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 2: say it, though.
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 19: What I like about Jim is that I'm a comedy
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 19: host more than anything. I do a lot of hosting. And,
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 19: you know, a lot of times that's like the framework
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 19: of a building. You don't really see it, but it
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 19: supports everything. And I know, like, anytime Jim's in the
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 19: audience and I have to pull some hosting tricks out
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 19: of my hat, I know... Jim's going to come up
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 19: to me at the patio afterwards and be like, hey,
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 19: I saw you do this and this, and that was
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 19: a really cool move.
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 2: So I appreciate it.
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 9: Go ahead. Then he says, can I hit that? I
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 9: say that beforehand.
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 4: For what it's worth, top three hosts of all time
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 4: that I've ever seen.
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 2: He's very good at what he does.
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 19: And it's good to hear that Tori's going to be there, too,
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 19: because she is maybe the best laugher in the world.
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. If you tell a good joke,
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 2: you will know she's in the room. As a matter
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 2: of fact, I know some of the comics would recognize
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 2: her laugh more than her, and they would be like,
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 2: if they heard her laugh, they'd be like, oh, Tori's here.
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 2: It's probably true.
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 2: So, okay, so it starts at 6 o'clock, Funny Bones.
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 2: First thing first, where do you get tickets? How much
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 2: are they? The whole nine yards. All the info's at moecomedyjam.com.
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 2: It's right there for you on the website. Yeah, very nice.
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 2: And how much are the tickets, by the way? I
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 2: think they're at 20.
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 19: I know if you're a Mo Comedy, if you're part
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 19: of Mo's Facebook group, I think he'd release some $ 10 tickets.
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 19: I don't know if those are still out there, but
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 19: check out mocomedyjam.com. If not, go to Mo's Facebook and
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 19: add him on Facebook. You might get a little break.
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 2: Real quick, Mo, M-O-E, okay? Mo Comedy Jam. What's the
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 2: other spelling on that, Jack? Just out of curiosity.
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 12: M-O.
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 2: You want to know? You want to confuse him? Let's go.
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 2: And by the way, Finnerty has been on Fallon before.
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 2: He's actually been in the studio here before with us.
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 8: Absolutely.
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 2: Nationally touring headliner.
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 2: Blaylock out of Jacksonville, I remember. Correct. And a stone-cold slayer.
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, both of these guys are absolute monsters. And
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 2: along with you guys, I can't imagine it's going to
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 2: be great. And a big surprise is coming up. I mean,
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 2: usually when they do these things, there's always a drop-in
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 2: or some kind of surprise that happens.
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 19: There will be a special Halloween surprise for you. And
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 19: then the only other comic we haven't mentioned yet is
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 19: my friend Larry Fulford. Uh, me and him kind of
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 19: co-host this, uh, this is the 15 year old Mo
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 19: comedy jam. They've just been straight up comedy shows to
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 19: this point.
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 19: Me hosting comics coming up, doing their thing. And then, uh,
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 19: but this one is a special event. I kind of
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 19: cashed in my chips with Mo and I, I put
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 19: all my cards on the table and I said, Hey Mo,
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 19: I want to do something special. It's going to be weird.
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 19: It's not the same old, same old. It's going to be,
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 19: it's a special thing called a, what do you want
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 19: from us? And this is a show that Larry developed where, uh,
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 19: it was during COVID times online where like you would
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 19: do a show online, uh, But people would just be
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 19: at their computers.
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 2: They wouldn't be paying attention.
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 19: There's no engagement. You could get zero traction, zero engagement.
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 19: I'm sorry. Larry came up with this idea where he
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 19: gets three or four comics together. He takes all their jokes.
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 19: He puts them into a format where it where you
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 19: there's a question and then there's three answers and you
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 19: in the audience you've scanned a QR code you've got
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 19: up on your phone a little quiz it gives you
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 19: the question and the three answers you get to choose
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 19: one of the answers and then whatever answer gets the
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 19: most votes correlates to a joke that a comic has
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 19: on stage, and that comic gets up and tells her jokes.
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's awesome. So the audience runs the show for
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 2: this one. Oh, that's cool.
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 19: Everybody picks every joke, and it's super fun and live.
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 19: It's electrifying how engaged audiences get with this show.
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 2: And I've got to tell you, this club is so
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 2: much fun to go to. By the way, the woman
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 2: who runs this club, Krista, is one of the greatest
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 2: people out there. She's the best. And going out to
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 2: the club, it is a pure comedy club. This is
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 2: not like a comedy happening in a restaurant or comedy
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 2: happening in an old theater. This is built for comedy.
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 2: So if you're in the front rows, you are literally,
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 2: you are feet inches sometimes from the comics. It is
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 2: very personal, very intimate, and a lot of fun. And
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 2: if you've not been to a show out there, I
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 2: urge you to buy a ticket and go. Because this
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 2: lineup is exceptionally good. And it's going to be a
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 2: lot of fun. I can't wait. Jack's going out with
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 2: me as well. So we're going to have a blast.
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 19: And this shows kind of the evolution of a lot
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 19: of things. Like when we started, it was online. And
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 19: then when we went live, we were up in Sanford
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 19: at Tuffy's Music Box.
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember that. Which is a great venue.
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 19: That's the last one I went to. It's a great venue,
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 19: but not really cut out for comedy. The ceilings are
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 19: too high. There's no chairs. We had a couple of
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 19: years there that were real good. Then we moved to
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 19: the Funny Bone venue. But they put us on Thursday nights.
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 19: And that's great. We're in the A-room in town. That's
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 19: an accomplishment in and of itself. But on a Thursday,
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 19: it's hard for people to get out. This year, we
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 19: talked them into letting us have a Saturday. So we're
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 19: in the A-room. It's a Saturday. It's this show that
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 19: I'm telling you, you have to see to believe. The
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 19: engagement is just incredible. And so it's going to be
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 19: just a show not to miss.
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you, dude, don't sleep on their food,
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 2: by the way.
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 5: Dude.
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 2: Do not sleep on their food at the Funny Bone.
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 2: It is crazy. It's crazy good. Last time we were there,
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 2: we didn't get to eat beforehand. We had to wind
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 2: up eating there. And my wife got a club sandwich.
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 2: I was like, that may be one of the better
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 2: club sandwiches you've ever had.
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 19: Well, one of the best nights of my life, I
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 19: ate the wedge salad at the Funny Bone with Doug Benson.
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 2: And it was just an amazing night. Getting high with
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 2: Doug Benson. Yeah.
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Hey, just real quick, we kind of buzzed around
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 2: this Shane Gillis thing a little bit. I know that
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 2: you're a guy that doesn't mind stepping out on an
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 2: edge when it comes to doing comedy. What was your
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 2: take on the Shane Gillis thing and the blowback and
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 2: all the stuff that's gone around it?
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 19: I mean, I hesitate to criticize another comedian, especially when
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 19: I admittedly I haven't seen the full set. I've just
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 19: like heard the outtakes of it all. But that being said,
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 19: it was a terrible joke.
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 19: Like I heard another comedian on a podcast this morning.
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 19: I was listening to kind of try to defend it.
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 19: And he was like, okay, but if he said I
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 19: went to the gym and all the women were just
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 19: dressed very provocatively, that's not funny. Okay. Well, if you
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 19: replace dress very product provocatively with the word whores, is
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 19: that makes it funny? No, it's still a bad joke.
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 19: You're just kind of trading on the shock value of
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 19: the word whore at that point.
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 2: Somebody said earlier on the texting service, it's just low
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 2: hanging fruit. It's an easy way out. It's a, It's
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 2: ordering steak at a restaurant. It's the you know, it's
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 2: the easiest thing in the world for the restaurant to
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 2: pull off. And I think that's what a lot of
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 2: people say is like they expect a little bit more
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 2: because this guy has, you know, big specials, gigantic sold
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 2: out national tours and on national television. That's the best
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 2: it can do.
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 19: And like, again, as a guy who ran an open
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 19: mic for like the better part of a decade, if
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 19: not longer, you you'd learn the difference between a joke
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 19: where it's funny because they crafted it. And a joke
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 19: where they are trying to get you to laugh because
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 19: it's a shocker. And that's what that was. And in
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 19: his defense, maybe it's like the whole week of SNL thing.
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 19: It's just too hard to write actual jokes.
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I've never been there. Yeah. You know,
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 2: it also is something that's kind of interesting to happen.
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 2: I haven't actually had a chance to talk to you
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 2: since it did happen, but. you know, Cam's rise to
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 2: prominence up there at SNL. Who? Cam Patterson.
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 16: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, that kid who used to
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 2: come to my open mic with no shoes on.
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. It's so funny. That's the number one story
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 2: I tell everybody. I'm like, when he got it, I
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 2: actually text Tori and I was like, Can you believe
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 2: Cam Patterson just made it on SNL? Not because Cam
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 2: isn't talented. It has nothing to do with that. But
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 2: we saw Cam do so many three- or five-minute sets
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 2: at Bullenbush, a foot from him. He'd walk in, do
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 2: his five, haul ass, and go do another five at
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 2: another open, then haul ass from that, go another five.
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 2: And again, Jack, he would walk in not wearing shoes.
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 2: And do his time. And I remember him being good. But,
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 2: you know, being honest, I don't remember him like slaying.
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 2: I think people kind of like, oh, man, his character
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 2: is good. The whole setup is good. But he was
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 2: still kind of working through material at that time.
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 4: I had one moment that kind of jumped out to
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 4: me that I went, oh, Cam is a little different.
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 4: And he did some guest spots when I was headlining
• 1:43:04
  Speaker 4: out in Ocala. And these rooms were call it. I
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 4: don't have time to explain it.
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 2: I'm going to be blunt. Old and white. Yeah. Real,
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 2: real old, white and wealthy.
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 15: Right.
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 4: And Cam walked up and I'm not, I can't even
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 4: say his joke on air. I'm not going to try to,
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 4: but let's just say it was pretty filthy. It was
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 4: one of the filthier jokes for his opener. Ross, if
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 4: you remember it, let's say the punchline was I'm seven
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 4: and And he got those old white people laughing so
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 4: hard at such a gross joke that nobody else could
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 4: get away with. And that was the first sign that
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 4: made me go like, oh, dude, this guy, he's really good.
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 4: But the thing that definitely put him over the top
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 4: was that Kill Tony appearance. And I don't know if
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 4: you've listened to it.
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 2: The rocks thing.
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 19: When he says, I like rocks, the room exploded in
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 19: a way I've only ever heard one time before. And
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 19: I was hosting for Grandma, what's her name?
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 2: Grandma Rich. No, a different Grandma comic, Ross.
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 7: Oh, God.
• 1:43:59
  Speaker 19: They always have the first name. The one that was
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 19: on America's Got Talent. But anyway, it was in Ocala,
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 19: and the stage is like 85 feet high, and there's
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 19: a giant staircase.
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 2: And she's like, you're going to have to help me
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 2: up there, Sonny. Grandma Lee. Grandma Lee. It was Grandma Lee.
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 2: And so I go up.
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 19: I do my thing. I bring the feature up. He
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 19: does his thing. Jeff Zenezec out of Jacksonville. And then
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 19: I go down and I have to walk her up.
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 19: And the whole time I'm going like, give it up
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 19: for grandma Lee. And like, we get up two stairs.
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 19: I'm like, keep it going for grandma. And this goes
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 19: on for like five minutes until I get her up.
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 19: I get her on her stool. She settles in the
• 1:44:33
  Speaker 19: room is like dead quiet at this point, because like
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 19: I have burned them out, just getting her up the stairs.
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 2: And she goes, give it up for your feature. Jeff's
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 2: in a says it. And everybody's like, And she goes,
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 2: I'd hit it.
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 19: And the roof exploded.
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 2: The roof blew off of that place. That's absolutely awesome.
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 2: But you also had other brushes as well. Do you
• 1:44:53
  Speaker 2: take a lot of pride in that? Because not only
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 2: did Cam go and make it on SNL, but David
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 2: Jolly now. is part of that universe. Um, David Jolly, uh, Chris,
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 2: your Lawson, your Lawson, um, Akeem Woods is huge right now.
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 19: Heather Shaw just announced like a giant, her, first of all,
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 19: her wedding was in people magazine. And then she's going
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 19: to be starting a podcast now. Like, um, just Orlando
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 19: is such a hotbed of talent for comedy. And I'm
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 19: super proud of that. And I'm proud of my part in,
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 19: in having fostered that by running shows for so many years.
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 19: but I think a lot of it has to do
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 19: with the fact that in this town, like, I don't
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 19: know if you live in, uh, if you live in Shreveport, Louisiana,
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 19: there's a certain amount of stuff to do at night,
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 19: but like we have to get up and compete with
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 19: Disney every day. You know, like there's, there's tons of
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 19: stuff in this town for some people.
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You gotta be funny if you're going to get
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 2: up and yeah, but I'm, there's a, Pretty good percentage
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 2: of that Austin scene that is born, bred, and curated
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 2: right here in Orlando, Florida. I mean, we could name, like, what,
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 2: seven of them right now that are out there doing work?
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 2: For sure.
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 4: I think that was one of the coolest things for
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 4: Ross and I, both Ross-eyes, that all of our friends
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 4: that moved to Austin all excelled, which kind of made us,
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 4: I don't want to put words in your mouth, but
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 4: for me at least, made me go, I wasn't crazy.
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 2: This was good. Yeah, yeah. And to have it.
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 4: See mainstream backup success kind of gave me confidence.
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 2: Ross says all of them, but there's a couple guys
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 2: that moved out to Austin and got landscaping. That is true.
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 2: That is true. That's also true. But this Saturday night,
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 2: it is the Mo Comedy Jam. It's at Funny Bones
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 2: out there on iDrive. Go to mo comedy jam.com. All

  Speaker 2: out with our wives. Can't wait. We will.
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 9: And congratulations on doing an 18 minute interview in 12,
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 9: because we found someone who speaks faster than Jimmy.
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 2: He's nervous. They're shaking. And I slammed a ghost right
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 2: before this. What's a ghost?
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 19: It started as a pre-workout, and then they managed to.
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 2: It started as a pre-workout. They managed to turn it
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 2: into an energy drink. That's like saying this. TNT started
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 2: out as a mining apparatus.
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 2: That same scenario? You're so right.
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 4: It was just pre-workout, and then they realized, yo, way
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 4: more money just putting it in a can.
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 19: Yeah, they don't sell a lot of pre-workout in the
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 19: cooler at 7-Eleven, but they walk these things out the door.
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 2: That's great. Well, buddy, thanks for coming by. We appreciate
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 2: it so much. That's Ross McCoy. You can see him
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 2: live along with Will Blaylock, along with Sean Finnerty, along
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 2: with Amy LaCour, Larry Fulford. Larry Fulford? Fulford. There you go.
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 2: And a special surprise guest. You have to be there
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 2: to see. That's right. And Jack and I are going
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 2: to be out there. It's going to be a good-ass time.
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 2: And it supports a really good organization, the Yellow Brick.
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 19: Road Foundation, YBRF.com. And they do stuff for kids with
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 19: congenital heart disease. My favorite thing that they do is
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 19: the Wagon Project. I don't know if you've ever had
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 19: a kid that had to spend an extended amount of
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 19: time in the hospital, but they get bored.
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 2: They get tired. They get lonely.
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 19: And the kids with congenital heart disease, it's hard to
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 19: move them around. And so Yellow Brick Road Foundation provides
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 19: these wagons where they can put the kid in. They
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 19: can hang their IV. And it's easier to get them
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 19: around to the rooms where there's toys. Oh, that's cool.
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 2: It's super cool. YBRF.com. They couldn't be a better organization. Yeah, yeah.

• 1:48:33
  Speaker 13: When's the last time you went to OBT at 3 a.m.
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 2: And picked up a woman wearing a burka?
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 15: You don't.
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 2: But you know what you do pick up women wearing? Lycra.
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 2: Scantily clad, looking sexy. And guess what?
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 19: When you go to the gym, women aren't working out,
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 19: working out and wearing a burka.
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 13: No, they're wearing Lycra, covering the body lines, looking fantastic.
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 2: Thank you, ladies. But you know what? They're just jokes.
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 15: They're just jokes.
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 2: Nobody got stabbed. Nobody got shot. Nobody's going to go
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 2: home and just get over it. Man, I can't even
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 2: explain it. Oh, a bunch of crybabies. Great show. Love you. Thanks, buddy.
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 2: Appreciate it. All right.
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 12: Shane Gillis' joke was all, everybody's still up in arms
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 12: about it.
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 17: Yeah, he's up there and he's saying, oh, they dress
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 17: like whores, this and that, whatever.
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 11: He uses the word.
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 17: And then just like Ross said, the joke is that
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 17: He's in the back of all of them. In other words,
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 17: he's up in a soapbox complaining, yada, yada, yada, yada,
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 17: and then he's doing the same thing. Much like all
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 17: of the politicians out there that have been caught with
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 17: gay sex scandals.
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 11: Whoa.
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 2: That took a turn. That was an icy dead people.
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 15: Shane Gillis is as fun as me putting a pineapple

  Speaker 2: I like it. Mike, how are you, buddy? I'm well, Mr.
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 3: Colbert.
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm glad to hear that, Mike. Want to play

• 1:51:42
  Speaker 5: Sure do.
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 2: Well, let's do it then, buddy.
• 1:51:44
  Speaker 16: Let's game!
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 2: All right, Mike, this is a real easy game. I've
• 1:51:50
  Speaker 2: got a question here for you, four answers. One of
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 2: these answers is not true, Mike.
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 12: What?
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 2: But if you can find it, I'll send you to
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 2: see Jack. He's got a bunch of stuff, and you
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 2: can pick something out nice for yourself. Are you ready?
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 2: Let's go. Here we go, buddy. On this day in 1926,
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 2: English author A.A. Milne releases his legendary children's book, Winnie
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 2: the Pooh. Okay. Here are three fun facts about Winnie
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 2: the Pooh and one lie that's no bother. Very good.
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 2: All right, we're talking about Winnie the Pooh here. Which
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 2: one of these is not true? Number one, Winnie the
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 2: Pooh's original name was Edward Bear. Number two, although Winnie
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 2: the Pooh is male, his character is based on Winnipeg,
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 2: a female Canadian black bear. Number three, Winnie the Pooh
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 2: was the first licensed fictional character to be used overseas.
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 2: Or lastly, his full name is A. Allen Milne. That
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 2: first A has no meaning. He simply thought it sounded
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 2: more intellectual. Which of those is a lie? Oh, goodness.
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 2: They all sound good. Number two. No, that's absolutely true.
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 2: Although Winnie the Pooh is male, his character is based
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 2: on Winnipeg. That's where they get Winnie, which was a
• 1:52:58
  Speaker 2: female Canadian bear.
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 15: Whoa!
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, kind of cool, right? That was extremely cool, finding
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 2: out where Winnie came from. Winnie was Winnipeg. Winnipeg was
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 2: the name of the bear. Actually, the soldier bought that bear,
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 2: and you could actually see the skull on... on display
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 2: at a museum in London.
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 5: Yep. Oh, wow.
• 1:53:14
  Speaker 2: I kind of stopped liking that fact. All right, very good. Two, three,
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 2: or four?
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 6: Two.
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 2: Let's go to two. That is the other Mike. Mike,
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 2: how you doing?
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 1: I'm doing well.
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 2: How about yourself?
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 1: Good, buddy.
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 2: We're talking about Winnie the Pooh. Which one of these
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 2: isn't true? Number one, Winnie the Pooh's original name was
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 2: Edward Bear. Number two, Winnie the Pooh was the first
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 2: licensed fictional character to be used overseas. Or lastly, his
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 2: full name is A. Allen Milne. The first A has
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 2: no meaning. He simply thought it sounded more intellectual. Try
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 2: number one. No, that's absolutely true. Winnie the Pooh's original
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 2: name was Edward Bear. Oh, wow. Cool, huh? All right.
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 3: I wonder if it was for the royal family. I
• 1:53:50
  Speaker 3: don't know.
• 1:53:50
  Speaker 2: That's a good question, though. Three or four, what do
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 2: you say? Hey, Dave, if you go number three, this
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 2: guy kind of sounds like SpongeBob to me.
• 1:53:56
  Speaker 3: All right, let's go three.
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 4: Three, there.
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 2: Gary, how you doing?
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 6: All right, how are you?
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 2: You can't do that anymore.
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 12: Why?
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 2: No, no, not you, buddy. You're fine. You're fine. We're
• 1:54:09
  Speaker 2: talking about Winnie the Pooh here, Gary. You got a
• 1:54:11
  Speaker 2: 50-50 shot. Which one of these is not true? Number one,
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 2: Winnie the Pooh was the first licensed fictional character to
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 2: be used overseas. Or lastly, his full name is A.
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 2: Allen Milne. The first A has no meaning. He simply
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 2: thought it sounded more intellectual.
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 12: Second one.
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 2: That's the one, buddy!
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 19: You're a winner!
• 1:54:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, I thought for sure it was the first one. Yeah,
• 1:54:30
  Speaker 2: his name is Alan Alexander Milne. Or Milne, or whatever
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 2: you want to say. That's his actual full name. And
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 2: Winnie the Pooh was the first licensed fictional character to
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 2: be used for products overseas.
• 1:54:41
  Speaker 3: What year was that again?
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 2: 26 is when he released the book.
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 3: Okay, I thought it would have been Mickey Mouse.
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe so. I don't know, but overseas. I don't know. Okay.
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 2: Some other things before we get to Ross Thoughts. You
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 2: may not know about Winnie the Pooh. The 100-acre wood
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 2: is actually real. It's based on Ashdown Forest that is
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 2: in East Sussex, England, and it's a real forest.
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 5: Oh.
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 10: Nice.
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 2: Kanga is the only female character in the Winnie the
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 2: Pooh crew.
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 4: And Sam Jackson's hat brand.
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, 100%. Sorry, that's Kangol. Damn it. Stupid joke.
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 2: Before the success of Winnie the Pooh, what do you
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 2: think A.A. Milne did?
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 3: Haberdasher.
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 2: Made hats. Pottery. Cobbler. I'll keep this train going. He
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 2: was a World War II soldier and a very accomplished playwright. Yeah,
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 2: he wrote the book for his kids. It was an accident.
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 2: It didn't even mean to happen, really.
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 4: Man, talk about the bookends right there. Fought a war
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 4: and then wrote and is also an author.
• 1:55:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, legendary children's book. In 2006, Winnie the Pooh received
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 2: a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Oh, wow.
• 1:55:50
  Speaker 2: And then lastly here, Winnie the Pooh's original name was hyphenated.
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 2: Remember that? It was Winnie hyphen the hyphen Pooh. Where
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 2: do you think that went?
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 4: Divorce.
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 2: That's funny. Lost his hyphens in the divorce. When Disney
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 2: bought the rights to Winnie the Pooh, he didn't like
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 2: the way it looked, so he nixed it. And now
• 1:56:07
  Speaker 2: the accepted use of Winnie the Pooh is no hyphens. Oh, wow.
• 1:56:13
  Speaker 2: And it's because of Disney.
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 4: So now I'm starting to think, is his name Winnie
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 4: the Pooh, or is it just the Pooh and his
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 4: friend group, or is his legal name Winnie?
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 2: Well, they call him Pooh, right? Yeah, Pooh Bear. Remember?
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 2: But where do you think Pooh came from? Well, don't
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 2: make me do the dumb jokes up. Pooh actually, if
• 1:56:35
  Speaker 2: I remember right, was a goose that lived or a
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 2: duck that lived on the farm where or lived in
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 2: the area. And I think his son named that that
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 2: duck Pooh. And then on top of that, Millen, when
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 2: he was writing the book, said Pooh is the sound
• 1:56:50
  Speaker 2: that the bear would make when he was blowing flies
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 2: out of his face. So it's Winnie the Pooh. That's
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 2: where it came from.
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 4: And then Winnie means, like, gentle friend.
• 1:57:00
  Speaker 2: Does it really? I believe so, yes. Yeah, yeah. But
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 2: Winnie is short for Winnipeg, and I don't know if
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 2: that was meant to be, but, yeah, that's the case.
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 2: Really interesting history about this book and this entire series
• 1:57:12
  Speaker 2: and the author.
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 3: Oh, and the fact he just wrote it for his kids?
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sure did. It's crazy. And Christopher Robin's
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 2: a real guy. His real name is Christopher Robin Milne. Dude,
• 1:57:20
  Speaker 2: I'd be forgetting a diaper. This guy wrote a book.
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 2: So I do.
• 1:57:26
  Speaker 4: There's actually I'm giving you a little BOGO here because
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 4: I'm having a third life crisis and I've never I
• 1:57:32
  Speaker 4: don't think I've ever experienced this one aspect of, quote unquote,
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 4: a type of therapy that I've ever experienced before. And
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 4: I can't be stopped. And I kind of like it.
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 4: And it makes me feel like an independent woman.
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 2: We'll find out what that is next. You can watch
• 1:57:49
  Speaker 2: radio being made on a daily basis. Jim Colbert Show
• 1:57:53

  Speaker 2: police officer.
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 18: Is killed in the line of duty, it's called the
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 18: end of watch. And when Deputy Barbara Pill got killed,
• 1:58:07
  Speaker 18: shot down in 2012, I was part of a team
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 18: of drivers that drove the family to the memorial service
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 18: at that very same Calvary Chapel in West Melbourne, Florida.
• 1:58:18

  Speaker 2: What am I, 37? Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, fifth?
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 2: That's midlife. Yeah, midlife.
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 4: Believe it or not, this is a midlife crisis. Listen,
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 4: I'll fall on that sword, sure. We'll call it a
• 1:59:56
  Speaker 4: midlife crisis.
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 15: And I.
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 2: You're not feeling it though, are you? Yeah, I know. Well,
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 2: all I know is it's a crisis.
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 4: We can give it whatever PR we want, but I
• 2:00:07
  Speaker 4: am pulling the trigger on some decisions that like, have
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 4: you guys ever bought something and made you think like
• 2:00:12
  Speaker 4: to yourself quickly after the purchase, maybe you're like going
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 4: through something.
• 2:00:16
  Speaker 2: Oh, you mean like a vet at 62 or like
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 2: a core vet or like a spray tan? Yeah.
• 2:00:27
  Speaker 4: If I bought a spray tan, I would walk out
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 4: in my car and be like, I think I might
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 4: be going through something.
• 2:00:33
  Speaker 2: Perfect white veneers almost. They're blue almost. Yeah, with your
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 2: orange and now you just look like a creamsicle.
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 2:00:40
  Speaker 4: You look very orange soda-like. And I have that. And
• 2:00:45
  Speaker 4: I also found my solution as well. Like, I found
• 2:00:49
  Speaker 4: my rock bottom and I found my Mount Everest top
• 2:00:53
  Speaker 4: all this past weekend. All right, so you have the
• 2:00:55
  Speaker 4: bookends all in one weekend. First and foremost, let me
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 4: just confess something. I'm kind of addicted right now to
• 2:01:02
  Speaker 4: buying Switch 2 video games.
• 2:01:05
  Speaker 2: Like, embarrassingly. How many are there?
• 2:01:08
  Speaker 4: There's a lot, Jim.
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, are there? There's a lot. Like 100 of these
• 2:01:13
  Speaker 2: or 50 of these? I don't have 100. I don't
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 2: have 50. You know what I'm saying? It's like, how
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 2: many are there available? Like, I mean, when can your
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 2: addiction stop? How many do you have right now? Endless. Indefinite.
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 2: How many have you purchased? That's a straightforward question, Ross.
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 2:01:28
  Speaker 2: What do you mean you don't know? That's how many.
• 2:01:31
  Speaker 4: I haven't counted because it's happened so fast. And the
• 2:01:34
  Speaker 4: first time in my life, this is the moment where
• 2:01:36
  Speaker 4: I thought, maybe I am going through something.
• 2:01:39
  Speaker 2: Because I have never. A divorce? Nope. I've never had
• 2:01:44
  Speaker 2: a backlog of content. Oh, in other words, you've never
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 2: had a stack of stuff you had to get to
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 2: when it came to video games. Not even video games. Books. Really?
• 2:01:55
  Speaker 4: I have always bought a video game.
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 2: I went home.
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 4: I played it for the next two, three weeks. And
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 4: then I'm like, all right, sure. I can go buy
• 2:02:02
  Speaker 4: another one. You never had one you could get to.
• 2:02:04
  Speaker 9: Is it the idea of the gaming industry switching to
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 9: no hard copies where you will own nothing and like
• 2:02:12
  Speaker 9: it and you are trying to fight back?
• 2:02:14
  Speaker 2: I think so. Also, probably in pursuit of my youth
• 2:02:18
  Speaker 2: all over again.
• 2:02:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Because I'm buying games, Jim, that I also played
• 2:02:21
  Speaker 4: when I was young.
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 2: Are you really? Yeah, that's a midlife crisis.
• 2:02:25
  Speaker 12: Oh, no.
• 2:02:25
  Speaker 3: That's the very definition.
• 2:02:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it could be a three-quarter life crisis. Hey, look,
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 2: when I bought my little Mustang, that was a midlife
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 2: crisis a little bit. Not because it was very expensive
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 2: or anything like that, but it was the car I
• 2:02:35
  Speaker 2: liked when I was a kid, when I was young. Really? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 2:02:38
  Speaker 6: Oh, God.
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 2: That's not good for me. Yeah. I like the wiener van. Okay.
• 2:02:43
  Speaker 2: So glad you said van. Yeah. The truck.
• 2:02:47
  Speaker 4: That was my favorite car when I was a kid.
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 4: I thought it was hilarious.
• 2:02:49
  Speaker 2: The Wienermobile? Yeah, the Wienermobile. That's going to be a
• 2:02:51
  Speaker 2: weird midlife crisis.
• 2:02:52
  Speaker 4: It is.
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 2: I think it's also a three bed, two bed.
• 2:02:57
  Speaker 4: So I've been, and for any nerds out there, yeah,
• 2:03:00
  Speaker 4: I'm talking Fire Emblem. Yeah, I'm talking Star Fox. And yeah,
• 2:03:04
  Speaker 4: I'm talking.
• 2:03:05
  Speaker 2: These are the games?
• 2:03:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, these are some of the games. I just found
• 2:03:09
  Speaker 4: Oblivion Gym on Switch 2. That's a hard find.
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 2: Is it really?
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 4: That's a hard find. I found it and I bought it.
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 4: And that was also another one of those moments of like,
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 4: what am I doing?
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:03:21
  Speaker 4: Because right now I have unopened video games, like four
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 4: of them.
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 3: Well, how expensive are they, though? I mean, if they're
• 2:03:28
  Speaker 3: not expensive.
• 2:03:29
  Speaker 2: Sometimes one of them was 20 bucks.
• 2:03:31
  Speaker 4: I think the most expensive one in Elden Ring, which,
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 4: by the way, I already own.
• 2:03:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah. What are you doing? For I don't know. All right.
• 2:03:40
  Speaker 9: When you say game is a hard fine, did you
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 9: have to get off your couch? Did you just, what,
• 2:03:45
  Speaker 9: you had to go to, like, your third website to
• 2:03:48
  Speaker 9: find it?
• 2:03:48
  Speaker 8: No.
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 2: What's a hard find?
• 2:03:50
  Speaker 9: You didn't actually get into your car and leave.
• 2:03:53
  Speaker 2: How about this? Did you have to fight an Asian
• 2:03:55
  Speaker 2: kid for it? No, but I had to wait a
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 2: couple weeks.
• 2:03:59
  Speaker 5: Oh!
• 2:04:00
  Speaker 2: I had to wait.
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 4: I had to join a couple of Facebook groups to
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 4: go ahead and join a community to see more communication
• 2:04:07
  Speaker 4: that I would like to have determined, you know, in the.
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 2: Next couple of days of purchasing. My God, two weeks waiting.
• 2:04:12
  Speaker 2: That's like harvesting a crop in 2026. i'll be refreshing some.
• 2:04:18
  Speaker 21: Tabs to the point jim this is how much i'm
• 2:04:22
  Speaker 21: like third life christ half-life midlife christen is that i
• 2:04:26
  Speaker 21: have picked up on a date for a midnight release
• 2:04:30
  Speaker 21: of something what it's for best buy and they're dropping
• 2:04:35
  Speaker 21: a bunch of new zelda stuff okay.
• 2:04:38
  Speaker 4: Oh And they have a retro midnight release for a
• 2:04:43
  Speaker 4: game that you can.
• 2:04:43
  Speaker 2: Just download digitally.
• 2:04:45
  Speaker 4: Because everyone, I think, in their late 30s is going
• 2:04:49
  Speaker 4: through somewhat similar of, like, I just remember midnight launches.
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 2: Is it just a bunch of you and guys standing
• 2:04:55
  Speaker 2: in vans that shouldn't be standing in vans? Is that
• 2:04:58
  Speaker 2: who it is? Backwards hats?
• 2:04:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 2:04:59
  Speaker 2: Backwards hats. With gray stubble? Yeah. Is that what it is?
• 2:05:04
  Speaker 2: It's just a bunch of you dudes used to talk
• 2:05:06
  Speaker 2: about how you could do heel flips on the bench
• 2:05:08
  Speaker 2: and frontside board slides? All you see is just pair
• 2:05:10
  Speaker 2: after pair of hey dudes. Yeah, just one after the other.
• 2:05:14
  Speaker 2: A lot of Vision streetwear shirts.
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 4: And so, like, I'm enjoying this, and I do love
• 2:05:18
  Speaker 4: video games, but I've also bought games that, like, from
• 2:05:21
  Speaker 4: the past, and I've been, like, you know, thinking about that.
• 2:05:24
  Speaker 4: I'm like, all right, Ross, we got to calm down.
• 2:05:25
  Speaker 4: And then I go to work this past weekend, right?
• 2:05:28
  Speaker 2: And I'm, you know.
• 2:05:30
  Speaker 4: I've been thinking about the video game. I'm like, yeah,
• 2:05:32
  Speaker 4: this is absolute retail therapy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Only at
• 2:05:37
  Speaker 4: work did I realize, like, what am I doing?
• 2:05:39
  Speaker 2: This is your version of a woman going out and
• 2:05:42
  Speaker 2: shopping for clothes for herself or something like that, right?
• 2:05:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so. 100%. What would your version of
• 2:05:48
  Speaker 4: that be? Do you have one? Mine's all golf stuff.
• 2:05:52
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's all golf stuff.
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 2: Golf stuff? Yeah, yeah, like New Driver, stuff like that.
• 2:05:55
  Speaker 2: What are you gasping at, Jackson?
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 9: I'd hate to interrupt his segment here, but this text,
• 2:05:59
  Speaker 9: I think he has to handle this immediately. Someone's saying, Sauce,
• 2:06:03
  Speaker 9: Switch and Switch 2 suck.
• 2:06:05
  Speaker 15: Why?
• 2:06:06
  Speaker 9: I could understand if they were PS2 games or just
• 2:06:09
  Speaker 9: Traveler's Tales Lego games, but Switch blows.
• 2:06:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:06:14
  Speaker 12: Wow.
• 2:06:15
  Speaker 2: Disagree. This is actually one time Nintendo, you don't need
• 2:06:19
  Speaker 2: to blow anything. It rocks.
• 2:06:22
  Speaker 4: And that is such a nerd joke. That wasn't even
• 2:06:24
  Speaker 4: a sexual reference. That was a cartridge blowing cartridge joke.
• 2:06:29
  Speaker 2: I was laughing at the sex reference. I thought that
• 2:06:34
  Speaker 2: was the funny part. My bad. You gotta tell me
• 2:06:37
  Speaker 2: these things, dude. I don't know.
• 2:06:39
  Speaker 4: I know I'm doing two topics here, but at a
• 2:06:41
  Speaker 4: time where I really needed it the most, there is
• 2:06:44
  Speaker 4: something that not just live music can accomplish.
• 2:06:47
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 2:06:48
  Speaker 11: Right?
• 2:06:48
  Speaker 2: I'm at Inter.co Stadium.
• 2:06:50
  Speaker 4: I'm hosting for Orlando City, and it's... Noche Latina, which
• 2:06:54
  Speaker 4: as my mom calls it, Latin night.
• 2:06:56
  Speaker 2: And they got empanadas up in there. Oh, I love it.
• 2:07:04
  Speaker 2: And the night's going amazing.
• 2:07:05
  Speaker 4: And then they announce in the pre-show meeting, they go, hey,
• 2:07:08
  Speaker 4: also we have Mariachi Cobra in for performing the national
• 2:07:13
  Speaker 4: anthem tonight.
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 2: Mariachi Cobra.
• 2:07:15
  Speaker 4: Mariachi Cobra. This is a Mariachi band. This is a
• 2:07:18
  Speaker 4: Mariachi band. And Jim, I'm here to tell you, I
• 2:07:22
  Speaker 4: didn't know how much I needed a mariachi band that night.
• 2:07:27
  Speaker 4: They absolutely rocked my socks off.
• 2:07:31
  Speaker 2: I love mariachi bands. What is it? I don't know,
• 2:07:35
  Speaker 2: but I love them. The minute I hear one, I
• 2:07:37
  Speaker 2: start smelling tequila. You just... I don't think there is a...
• 2:07:41
  Speaker 2: I don't even know if it's a genre. Is it
• 2:07:43
  Speaker 2: a genre? Is mariachi a genre? Oh, yeah, yeah. Mariachi music? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 2:07:47
  Speaker 2: Sure it is.
• 2:07:48
  Speaker 4: It is, in my two cents, the best to be around,
• 2:07:52
  Speaker 4: and it's not even that close.
• 2:07:54
  Speaker 2: So passionate. Dude, we used to, when we go on cruises,
• 2:07:57
  Speaker 2: when we find a mariachi band, we pile up. It's
• 2:07:59
  Speaker 2: the greatest. We went to a restaurant one time where
• 2:08:01
  Speaker 2: they would, they had like a small one that would
• 2:08:03
  Speaker 2: travel around from table to table, guitar, stand up bass,
• 2:08:06
  Speaker 2: and like a trumpet. Oh my God. Unbelievable.
• 2:08:09
  Speaker 17: Yeah.
• 2:08:09
  Speaker 4: So I'm, I'm just listening to them play and I'm
• 2:08:12
  Speaker 4: starting to like love myself all over again. And then
• 2:08:15
  Speaker 4: just like quickly pulled out my phone and, Bought another
• 2:08:18
  Speaker 4: video game. Traveler Zero. Don't care if it's a download.
• 2:08:24
  Speaker 4: I still got it. The world can't stop me. Those
• 2:08:27
  Speaker 4: are your raw thoughts. Viva La Mariachi.
• 2:08:29
  Speaker 2: I'm out.
• 2:08:29
  Speaker 11: Peace.
• 2:08:30
  Speaker 2: Thank you. That Mortgage Guy Don. Bye. All right.
• 2:08:34
  Speaker 15: 407-916-1041.
• 2:08:35
  Speaker 2: Text 77031. Bank is your 6 o'clock keyword. That's B-A-N-K.
• 2:08:40
  Speaker 2: Go to realradio.fm and send that off for your chance
• 2:08:42
  Speaker 2: at $ 1, 000. Back in a sec.
• 2:08:45
  Speaker 12: In 2007, they released Waterford Lake's Best Buy Halo 3.
• 2:08:49
  Speaker 12: Standing in line, and a whole bunch of these clowns,
• 2:08:52
  Speaker 12: dressed in the most late 90s gear you ever saw.
• 2:08:56
  Speaker 12: They looked like if Nerf made a cartoon and these
• 2:08:59
  Speaker 12: people came to life. Driving around in a 1992 Geo Tracker,
• 2:09:03
  Speaker 12: blaring the Halo theme song, pretending that this tracker was
• 2:09:07
  Speaker 12: a warthog. They got a guy standing up with a
• 2:09:09
  Speaker 12: machine gun.
• 2:09:10
  Speaker 2: Oh, it was awesome. And then Zellie thought it was awesome.
• 2:09:15
  Speaker 2: Welcome back. Your 6 o'clock keyword is bank, B-A-N-K. I'm Jim.
• 2:09:18
  Speaker 2: There's Deb.
• 2:09:19
  Speaker 8: Jack.
• 2:09:20
  Speaker 2: And Ross as well.
• 2:09:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah. You ever went to a midnight launch? Did you
• 2:09:27
  Speaker 4: ever do that? Like a midnight showing?
• 2:09:31
  Speaker 2: Of what, buddy? Just like a movie or something? A
• 2:09:33
  Speaker 2: release of anything.
• 2:09:35
  Speaker 4: I remember seeing Revenge of the Sith at midnight, and
• 2:09:39
  Speaker 4: it was a forever memory.
• 2:09:41
  Speaker 2: Never waited. I mean, I waited online overnight for tickets
• 2:09:44
  Speaker 2: for my ex-wife for a band called Genesis, and then
• 2:09:49
  Speaker 2: I was the one right before they sold the last ticket,
• 2:09:53
  Speaker 2: after waiting there overnight. And then what else did I
• 2:09:57
  Speaker 2: wait in line for? I don't know. Nothing like that, maybe.
• 2:09:59
  Speaker 2: Black Friday, anything? Oh, yeah, Black Friday at night for
• 2:10:04
  Speaker 2: an $ 80 TV or something. I did that one time.
• 2:10:08
  Speaker 2: It counts. At Home Depot, oddly enough.
• 2:10:10
  Speaker 4: It counts, but that comes with an asterisk for the
• 2:10:12
  Speaker 4: midnight launch. Because midnight launch was for one specific thing.
• 2:10:16
  Speaker 4: And here's the greatest part about midnight launches is that
• 2:10:19
  Speaker 4: you were with like-minded people.
• 2:10:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 2:10:22
  Speaker 4: You were hanging out with other Halo fans or other
• 2:10:25
  Speaker 4: Harry Potter fans.
• 2:10:26
  Speaker 2: That's how it was at the Genesis show because everybody
• 2:10:28
  Speaker 2: there was a gigantic fan of the band. So we
• 2:10:30
  Speaker 2: talked about music the entire night.
• 2:10:32
  Speaker 9: Yeah, the Harry Potter books were another one where you
• 2:10:35
  Speaker 9: would have to line up for.
• 2:10:35
  Speaker 2: Oh, really? Yeah.
• 2:10:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I went to a midnight release for that.
• 2:10:38
  Speaker 2: Did you really for the Harry Potter books?
• 2:10:39
  Speaker 3: Yep, dressed up.
• 2:10:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know her. As who?
• 2:10:42
  Speaker 6: Really?
• 2:10:42
  Speaker 3: As a witch.
• 2:10:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's awesome. I saw a thing today on– A
• 2:10:47
  Speaker 2: really interesting thing, because Halloween stuff, as it comes around,
• 2:10:49
  Speaker 2: you see stories about that. Do you know what the
• 2:10:51
  Speaker 2: origin of the witch's hat is?
• 2:10:55
  Speaker 3: I'm reading it as we speak.
• 2:10:56
  Speaker 2: It's very interesting. Where are you on reading that?
• 2:10:59
  Speaker 3: Just why it's pointy and black.
• 2:11:00
  Speaker 2: Right. So I think it was the New York Times
• 2:11:04
  Speaker 2: today had a big article about the history of why
• 2:11:09
  Speaker 2: witch's hats are pointed. And it turns out that in history,
• 2:11:13
  Speaker 2: a lot of people who are marginalized have been have
• 2:11:16
  Speaker 2: been deemed to wear the cone hat. Well, think about
• 2:11:20
  Speaker 2: the dumps. Yeah, that's just one of them. But all
• 2:11:23
  Speaker 2: through our history for years, you know, societies and cultures
• 2:11:26
  Speaker 2: have put pointed hats on people to point them out
• 2:11:28
  Speaker 2: for nothing good. By the way, they're never, ever, ever
• 2:11:31
  Speaker 2: used to go. That's the smartest guy in the room
• 2:11:33
  Speaker 2: or that person saves my life. It's always to point
• 2:11:36
  Speaker 2: them out as somebody that's like dumber or marginalized or
• 2:11:39
  Speaker 2: isn't as good as the rest of the group.
• 2:11:42
  Speaker 7: It's interesting considering the Klan had pointed hats.
• 2:11:44
  Speaker 17: Right.
• 2:11:45
  Speaker 2: It's kind of wild. I don't know why.
• 2:11:46
  Speaker 4: It's never like, see that? That's the direction they go
• 2:11:49
  Speaker 4: after they die. It's never like good news.
• 2:11:53
  Speaker 2: They go to heaven. You guys know who Ella Langley is, right?
• 2:11:57
  Speaker 2: Country artist with that song, Choose in Texas. Have you
• 2:12:00
  Speaker 2: not heard the song? I did not. I don't think so.
• 2:12:04
  Speaker 2: Can you play a little bit of it, Jack, without
• 2:12:05
  Speaker 2: doing the thing or no? I can. I'll just have
• 2:12:08
  Speaker 2: to cut this out of the podcast. Well, no, don't
• 2:12:10
  Speaker 2: worry about it then. I don't want you to have
• 2:12:11
  Speaker 2: to do that. So the song Choose in Texas is
• 2:12:13
  Speaker 2: now the number one selling and the number one charting
• 2:12:16
  Speaker 2: song in the history of music, right? More than any
• 2:12:19
  Speaker 2: Beatles tune, more than any Elvis song, more than any
• 2:12:22
  Speaker 2: Christmas song. It is a gigantic hit.
• 2:12:25
  Speaker 12: Here.
• 2:12:26
  Speaker 2: That's all I can give. Got it. I have heard
• 2:12:29
  Speaker 2: that song. That worked. And it's actually kind of a
• 2:12:32
  Speaker 2: cool little theory. She's from Tennessee. The girl that she's
• 2:12:35
  Speaker 2: going to lose her boyfriend to is from Texas. So
• 2:12:37
  Speaker 2: that's why it's called choosing Texas. Texas is actually a
• 2:12:40
  Speaker 2: girl from Texas, right? Well, there's some controversy around her
• 2:12:44
  Speaker 2: now because do you know who Riley Green is? He's
• 2:12:48
  Speaker 2: the guy that is on your wife's hall pass.
• 2:12:50
  Speaker 17: Yes.
• 2:12:51
  Speaker 2: Well, Riley Green is a country music artist, is also
• 2:12:53
  Speaker 2: an actor, and he had a duet with her. I'm saying,
• 2:12:58
  Speaker 2: and the duet was a big hit. Well, Riley green,
• 2:13:01
  Speaker 2: if I remember reading the story, right, took her out
• 2:13:04
  Speaker 2: on tour when he went out on a major tour
• 2:13:06
  Speaker 2: to open up for him.
• 2:13:07
  Speaker 15: Right.
• 2:13:08
  Speaker 2: So he's now a guest or a judge on the voice.
• 2:13:12
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 2:13:12
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 2:13:13
  Speaker 2: So I guess during the voice, he made a comment
• 2:13:17
  Speaker 2: about taking Ella Langley out on tour with him. And
• 2:13:20
  Speaker 2: it seemed like that he was trying to take a
• 2:13:23
  Speaker 2: little credit for her success.
• 2:13:25
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 2:13:25
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 2:13:26
  Speaker 2: That's kind of what happened because she fired back about,
• 2:13:28
  Speaker 2: you know, that sounds like what a man would say
• 2:13:30
  Speaker 2: kind of thing. But I read the entire interaction and
• 2:13:33
  Speaker 2: it didn't sound like that at all. But even though
• 2:13:35
  Speaker 2: that that's the case, I mean, he didn't make the
• 2:13:37
  Speaker 2: song great, but he did. He does. He's doing what
• 2:13:41
  Speaker 2: the show asks him to do, which is recognize talent.
• 2:13:44
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 2:13:45
  Speaker 2: The whole show is to find singers that they think
• 2:13:47
  Speaker 2: they can make it. And that's exactly what he did
• 2:13:49
  Speaker 2: with her by putting her on his tour. And I
• 2:13:52
  Speaker 2: didn't think he was trying to take credit for it.
• 2:13:54
  Speaker 2: I think he was just trying to say, hey, look,
• 2:13:56
  Speaker 2: I gave her a good shot. She did the most
• 2:13:58
  Speaker 2: with it.
• 2:13:58
  Speaker 9: When I interviewed Christopher Cross recently, to this day, he
• 2:14:02
  Speaker 9: gives credit to the Eagles and Fleetwood Mac. After his
• 2:14:06
  Speaker 9: album comes up, he credits him because they took him
• 2:14:09
  Speaker 9: on tour with them.
• 2:14:10
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 2:14:11
  Speaker 2: With him.
• 2:14:11
  Speaker 9: And so he was able to play in front of
• 2:14:14
  Speaker 9: those audience, which really, and you know, then his career
• 2:14:16
  Speaker 9: took off after that, but he totally gave credit to
• 2:14:19
  Speaker 9: the bands that allowed opening up. How many artists blew
• 2:14:23
  Speaker 9: up because they were able to open for Taylor Swift
• 2:14:26
  Speaker 9: on the air, on the errors tour.
• 2:14:27
  Speaker 2: Well, do you, how about I think all of them,
• 2:14:29
  Speaker 2: I go to see Limp Bizkit years and years ago
• 2:14:31
  Speaker 2: and their opening band was a nobody band that nobody
• 2:14:33
  Speaker 2: had heard of. And then three years later, they had
• 2:14:35
  Speaker 2: the biggest rock album in the world. And it was
• 2:14:38
  Speaker 2: a system of a down. They opened up for– I
• 2:14:41
  Speaker 2: think they were the opening band and then another band
• 2:14:43
  Speaker 2: before Limp Bizkit came out. So they're the opener opener,
• 2:14:46
  Speaker 2: and they blew up. And part of that was because
• 2:14:49
  Speaker 2: they got to show their music and play their music
• 2:14:51
  Speaker 2: for people who were like-minded, and it made them gigantic stars.
• 2:14:55
  Speaker 4: I think you can– it's hard to take. It's hard
• 2:14:58
  Speaker 4: to say that, like, oh, I'll take credit for it,
• 2:15:00
  Speaker 4: but I don't think there's anything wrong with going, like,
• 2:15:02
  Speaker 4: I was one of the positive steps in the right direction.
• 2:15:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm happy that I was able to help. 100%.
• 2:15:07
  Speaker 2: You look at what the Monsters have done over 35
• 2:15:10
  Speaker 2: years and how many different shows have kind of come
• 2:15:13
  Speaker 2: out of that cast, how many different entities of entertainment
• 2:15:16
  Speaker 2: have come out of that cast over the years, right?
• 2:15:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's just the truth. It happened. So that's
• 2:15:22
  Speaker 2: the biggest indicator, like, from what I have experienced. I'm like, yeah. Hey,
• 2:15:25
  Speaker 2: it came from monsters. If not for that monster show,
• 2:15:28
  Speaker 2: probably wouldn't have had this show, you know? So it's
• 2:15:30
  Speaker 2: just one of those things. You take a comic out,
• 2:15:32
  Speaker 2: let's say you're, you're booking shows and you find a
• 2:15:34
  Speaker 2: comic in Orlando. You think is awesome. You put them
• 2:15:36
  Speaker 2: on the show. They explode. You know, you can't take
• 2:15:39
  Speaker 2: credit for their comedy cause you didn't write it, but
• 2:15:40
  Speaker 2: you could also, you can take credit for recognizing game.
• 2:15:44
  Speaker 4: I mean, listen, if anybody wants to be my opening act, uh,
• 2:15:49
  Speaker 4: you should, because they've all done better than me.
• 2:15:52
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 2:15:55
  Speaker 4: Every single one of them has absolutely gone on to
• 2:15:59
  Speaker 4: do amazing and great things.
• 2:16:01
  Speaker 2: Done better is relative because they don't have a beautiful
• 2:16:04
  Speaker 2: child and a gorgeous wife. That is correct. Yeah, so
• 2:16:06
  Speaker 2: it's all relative there. They don't have Mr. Miles. Yeah,
• 2:16:09
  Speaker 2: they don't have Mr. Miles for sure. I just found
• 2:16:11
  Speaker 2: that kind of wild that she would do that. I mean,
• 2:16:12
  Speaker 2: she doesn't have to do that. And I didn't think
• 2:16:15
  Speaker 2: he was really trying to take credit for it because
• 2:16:17
  Speaker 2: he didn't write the song. I mean, she and Miranda
• 2:16:19
  Speaker 2: Lambert wrote the song. He was just basically saying, look,
• 2:16:22
  Speaker 2: I gave her a shot. I recognize she had game.
• 2:16:24
  Speaker 2: I gave her a shot. Do you think that's kind
• 2:16:26
  Speaker 2: of taking credit for it? No, not at all.
• 2:16:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, you have to acknowledge the people that helped
• 2:16:30
  Speaker 3: you get there.
• 2:16:30
  Speaker 2: Sure, 100%.
• 2:16:31
  Speaker 9: If she doesn't have what's considered maybe the biggest hit
• 2:16:35
  Speaker 9: ever in the history of music with this song, and
• 2:16:39
  Speaker 9: everything else is the same, does she take offense at
• 2:16:42
  Speaker 9: that comment?
• 2:16:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a really good point. Or does he even
• 2:16:44
  Speaker 2: make the comment?
• 2:16:45
  Speaker 4: Well, I want to know the exact comment because that's
• 2:16:48
  Speaker 4: pretty important.
• 2:16:50
  Speaker 2: What's the exact.
• 2:16:51
  Speaker 4: Pull quote of what he said that all of a
• 2:16:53
  Speaker 4: sudden made the possibility of confrontation even a chance?
• 2:16:57
  Speaker 2: It's funny. I only wrote down what I wrote down
• 2:17:00
  Speaker 2: is Ella Langley fires at Riley Green's comment on taking
• 2:17:05
  Speaker 2: her on tour. It was viewed as him trying to
• 2:17:06
  Speaker 2: take credit for her success. It's not. Him taking her
• 2:17:09
  Speaker 2: on tour is an indication that he knows how to
• 2:17:11
  Speaker 2: spot talent, and that's what his show that he's on
• 2:17:13
  Speaker 2: is all about. If he was a budding comic and
• 2:17:16
  Speaker 2: Ross took him on tour and I blew up, Ross
• 2:17:18
  Speaker 2: gets credit for recognizing game, right? That's exactly what I
• 2:17:20
  Speaker 2: wrote down in my paragraph here. The story is too long.
• 2:17:23
  Speaker 2: I didn't pull it to talk about because it's just
• 2:17:24
  Speaker 2: such a blurb. So the quote.
• 2:17:26
  Speaker 4: Was on the show, he goes, he's talking to two sisters.
• 2:17:31
  Speaker 4: He told sisters, Fahrenheit, Brinkley, right? I believe they are
• 2:17:34
  Speaker 4: the competitors probably on the show.
• 2:17:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:17:36
  Speaker 4: There was a girl that reminded me a lot of y'all.
• 2:17:39
  Speaker 4: I took her on tour with me. Her name's Ella Langley.
• 2:17:42
  Speaker 4: She's doing pretty well. Does that sound like he's trying
• 2:17:46
  Speaker 4: to take credit for her success?
• 2:17:49
  Speaker 2: No, but I will say this. Why wouldn't you associate
• 2:17:55
  Speaker 2: yourself with that if you had something to do with it?
• 2:17:56
  Speaker 2: I would immediately.
• 2:17:57
  Speaker 4: I think he is smart enough to associate himself with
• 2:18:02
  Speaker 4: the exploding, meteoric, rising talent.
• 2:18:05
  Speaker 2: Of Buddy, if you ever made it to SNL, I'd
• 2:18:07
  Speaker 2: never shut up about it. I would never shut up
• 2:18:10
  Speaker 2: about it. I'd be like, yep, I brought this guy in.
• 2:18:12
  Speaker 2: I gave him a spot. He blew up. I couldn't
• 2:18:15
  Speaker 2: get out of my own way taking credit.
• 2:18:18
  Speaker 4: I think that would be the only thing that you
• 2:18:22
  Speaker 4: could find any bit of criticism for, but I'm still
• 2:18:24
  Speaker 4: not going to be.
• 2:18:25
  Speaker 2: That's just kind of the name of the game, man.
• 2:18:28
  Speaker 2: That's showbiz. And there's some other celebrity drama out there.
• 2:18:30
  Speaker 2: Have you guys been paying attention to this Kelly Clarkson
• 2:18:32
  Speaker 2: drama that's happening?
• 2:18:33
  Speaker 12: Uh-oh.
• 2:18:34
  Speaker 2: Did you have you paid attention to it.
• 2:18:36
  Speaker 7: I haven't been paying attention to it really but you
• 2:18:38
  Speaker 7: can't escape it yeah.
• 2:18:39
  Speaker 9: It's crazy it's everywhere have you guys heard about it
• 2:18:41
  Speaker 9: yeah she went had to do with it she went
• 2:18:43
  Speaker 9: into a store and then kind of got in a
• 2:18:46
  Speaker 9: tiff well okay so she it's a she had a
• 2:18:48
  Speaker 9: pretty woman moment is what she says now that's how
• 2:18:51
  Speaker 9: she described well let me tell you this thing's gone
• 2:18:54
  Speaker 9: crazy okay this kelly clarkson thing is everywhere right so
• 2:18:59
  Speaker 9: Kelly Clarkson goes into a shop in.
• 2:19:01
  Speaker 2: The Bronx or Brooklyn?
• 2:19:02
  Speaker 3: I think it was Brooklyn.
• 2:19:03
  Speaker 2: In Brooklyn. It's a little shop, and it's a little,
• 2:19:05
  Speaker 2: like a niche-y little toy kind of curiosity shop, right,
• 2:19:09
  Speaker 2: that she heard about. She said she was going in
• 2:19:10
  Speaker 2: there because she thought it looked rad online, so she
• 2:19:13
  Speaker 2: wanted to see what was up. So she goes in,
• 2:19:15
  Speaker 2: and she starts asking or looking at this animatronic bird
• 2:19:19
  Speaker 2: that is on the wall. And the bird apparently has
• 2:19:23
  Speaker 2: like a price tag or whatever. And she asked about it.
• 2:19:27
  Speaker 2: And the guy says, well, it's not for sale, but
• 2:19:29
  Speaker 2: there was a tag hanging there. And he says, I
• 2:19:32
  Speaker 2: can show you something a little bit more affordable, affordable, right?
• 2:19:36
  Speaker 2: As if to say that she couldn't afford the 15
• 2:19:39
  Speaker 2: grand they were looking for, for that particular bird. And
• 2:19:42
  Speaker 2: she lost her mind. She thought that they were kind
• 2:19:44
  Speaker 2: of giving her the pretty woman thing and judging her
• 2:19:47
  Speaker 2: by the way she looked and not what she could
• 2:19:49
  Speaker 2: afford or whatever. And apparently she, It went crazy. She
• 2:19:51
  Speaker 2: went online, pitched it on Bitch Online. All of her
• 2:19:55
  Speaker 2: followers started kind of coming at this store. The store
• 2:19:57
  Speaker 2: is coming back at her, and now the video got released.
• 2:20:00
  Speaker 2: It is the craziest thing.
• 2:20:01
  Speaker 7: Well, now the store says that the bird named Molly,
• 2:20:04
  Speaker 7: which was $ 15, 000 when she looked at it, is now.
• 2:20:07
  Speaker 3: $ 15 million.
• 2:20:09
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 2:20:09
  Speaker 7: And they're also saying that their employees are now in danger.
• 2:20:14
  Speaker 7: They have protesters next to the shop where people– Live
• 2:20:17
  Speaker 7: around the shop now.
• 2:20:18
  Speaker 3: They're dealing with protesters.
• 2:20:20
  Speaker 2: She came at him online pretty good.
• 2:20:21
  Speaker 9: Yeah, and I don't want to say it's punching down,
• 2:20:25
  Speaker 9: but it kind of is, right?
• 2:20:27
  Speaker 2: It's really punching down.
• 2:20:28
  Speaker 9: Yeah, she's using her power to, you know, the celebrity
• 2:20:33
  Speaker 9: that she has.
• 2:20:35
  Speaker 2: To what end? Because she was offended? Yeah, yeah. So
• 2:20:38
  Speaker 2: now you're going to release, like, holy hell on this
• 2:20:41
  Speaker 2: guy and his business? And my thing is, so it's
• 2:20:44
  Speaker 2: interesting because she went online and tried to shame this
• 2:20:47
  Speaker 2: shop to listeners. And how many of the people who
• 2:20:50
  Speaker 2: listen to her music can afford a $ 15, 000 novelty bird?
• 2:20:54
  Speaker 7: And that's really— Are you serious with this? That's such
• 2:20:57
  Speaker 7: a bad look when people are struggling to pay for
• 2:20:59
  Speaker 7: gas and health care and housing.
• 2:21:01
  Speaker 10: Yeah, dude.
• 2:21:02
  Speaker 7: To watch a celebrity who, I mean, she looked like
• 2:21:04
  Speaker 7: a Schlumpa Dinka when she went in there.
• 2:21:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 2:21:06
  Speaker 3: Baseball cap, backpack.
• 2:21:07
  Speaker 7: I mean, she wasn't Kelly Clarkson, but most celebrities don't
• 2:21:10
  Speaker 7: want to be recognized when they're out with their kids,
• 2:21:13
  Speaker 7: just want a day on a Saturday shopping.
• 2:21:15
  Speaker 2: By the way, that's how she plays shows. I saw
• 2:21:16
  Speaker 2: her play Universal Studios, and it looked like she just
• 2:21:19
  Speaker 2: came from a softball game. Really? Yeah, barefoot with ill-fitting
• 2:21:22
  Speaker 2: jeans and this half shirt. She looked like she did
• 2:21:25
  Speaker 2: not want to be there.
• 2:21:26
  Speaker 5: Oh, wow.
• 2:21:26
  Speaker 2: It was crazy.
• 2:21:27
  Speaker 9: I like dressing down when I'm going to make a
• 2:21:29
  Speaker 9: big purchase. I want to see how I'm going to
• 2:21:31
  Speaker 9: be treated.
• 2:21:31
  Speaker 4: Now, like, you know what?
• 2:21:34
  Speaker 2: I will have both.
• 2:21:36
  Speaker 4: Tubes of toothpaste yeah the there's one tier of communication
• 2:21:41
  Speaker 4: miscommunication though that i think that needs to be worth
• 2:21:44
  Speaker 4: noting is that the store's response was saying hey i
• 2:21:47
  Speaker 4: know that there was a price tag on it but
• 2:21:49
  Speaker 4: it wasn't for sale.
• 2:21:50
  Speaker 7: Yeah that bird is a permanent fixture of the shop
• 2:21:54
  Speaker 7: she could um hire the artist who would make her
• 2:21:56
  Speaker 7: a different bird But Molly on the wall is.
• 2:22:00
  Speaker 3: Supposed to be a permanent fixture of the store.
• 2:22:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because the shop did say, I can give you
• 2:22:05
  Speaker 2: the guy's information and he can make you one on
• 2:22:07
  Speaker 2: your own, I guess.
• 2:22:08
  Speaker 4: So to me, it wasn't even like, hey, you can't
• 2:22:11
  Speaker 4: afford this. It was them trying to like maybe whimsically
• 2:22:15
  Speaker 4: trying to point someone into a different direction. Now, granted,
• 2:22:18
  Speaker 4: I don't think the choice of, hey, you can't afford that.
• 2:22:20
  Speaker 4: Maybe honestly, maybe even the price tag of 15 G's.
• 2:22:24
  Speaker 4: of that thing being on there was kind of just
• 2:22:25
  Speaker 4: for novelty reasons to even begin with. Because if it
• 2:22:28
  Speaker 4: wasn't for sale, why does it have a price tag
• 2:22:30
  Speaker 4: on it?
• 2:22:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
• 2:22:31
  Speaker 2: Well, that's really the only argument that they have against
• 2:22:34
  Speaker 2: the store, really, is the fact that there is a
• 2:22:36
  Speaker 2: price tag, and it clearly shows it was $ 15, 000. So
• 2:22:39
  Speaker 2: a texter.
• 2:22:39
  Speaker 9: Says we're missing the point because a customer should be
• 2:22:42
  Speaker 9: treated well regardless of what they look like. Was she
• 2:22:45
  Speaker 9: treated unwell? She didn't get what she wanted. She kind
• 2:22:49
  Speaker 9: of thought that she was being treated because of how
• 2:22:53
  Speaker 9: she looked. But if it wasn't for sale for her,
• 2:22:56
  Speaker 9: it wasn't for sale for anyone.
• 2:22:58
  Speaker 2: Right, yeah. So if that's the case, then was she
• 2:23:00
  Speaker 2: treated unwell? And what she says is she thought they
• 2:23:04
  Speaker 2: were talking down to her. Like, again, the pretty woman
• 2:23:07
  Speaker 2: thing where they were like, you know, oh, yeah, sure,
• 2:23:10
  Speaker 2: you want to buy the $ 15, 000 bird. That's what she's
• 2:23:13
  Speaker 2: upset about because they assume they knew about it.
• 2:23:16
  Speaker 9: It would have to be for sale to somebody if
• 2:23:19
  Speaker 9: that's true.
• 2:23:22
  Speaker 7: And a texter just said that the fact that there
• 2:23:25
  Speaker 7: was a price tag meant at one point it was
• 2:23:27
  Speaker 7: for sale.
• 2:23:30
  Speaker 2: For the record, guys, real quick, I go into these
• 2:23:32
  Speaker 2: estate sales and antique shops all the time. This is
• 2:23:36
  Speaker 2: pretty regular. You can walk into an antique shop and
• 2:23:40
  Speaker 2: find something that is really stunning. and go over and
• 2:23:42
  Speaker 2: they will tell you, I'm sorry, that's not for sale.
• 2:23:44
  Speaker 2: It's just for show as to show you kind of
• 2:23:47
  Speaker 2: what we do sell. And I'm like, okay, no big deal.
• 2:23:50
  Speaker 2: He's going to move on. And sometimes it is odd.
• 2:23:52
  Speaker 2: Sometimes they do have price tags on it, but it's
• 2:23:54
  Speaker 2: just not for sale. Have you also seen this bird
• 2:23:57
  Speaker 2: in action?
• 2:23:57
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 2:23:58
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to lie. Pretty cool. Pretty badass.
• 2:24:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's pretty badass. It is unbelievably cool. Yeah, tiki
• 2:24:04
  Speaker 4: bird badass. They just wind up. It's all acoustic. It's
• 2:24:09
  Speaker 4: all not plugged in. They wind this thing up, and
• 2:24:12
  Speaker 4: this little animatronic bird just comes to life.
• 2:24:16
  Speaker 2: It's made by a clockmaker. Like a real, real famous clockmaker,
• 2:24:19
  Speaker 2: I guess. I thought it was a real bird.
• 2:24:20
  Speaker 18: No, no.
• 2:24:21
  Speaker 1: No, no, no.
• 2:24:22
  Speaker 2: No, no, it's not that at all. Maybe he's like
• 2:24:23
  Speaker 2: singing and whistling and whatnot. And I guess that at
• 2:24:26
  Speaker 2: the end it says Clarkson's influence is heavily weighted in
• 2:24:29
  Speaker 2: the celebrity's favor. That doesn't mean celebrities should be censored
• 2:24:31
  Speaker 2: or barred from speaking, but they should be cognizant of
• 2:24:33
  Speaker 2: the reality in determining what they say and how they
• 2:24:35
  Speaker 2: say it. Quote, you can't hold the celebrity responsible for
• 2:24:38
  Speaker 2: everything that their followers do, of course. But if you
• 2:24:41
  Speaker 2: have influence and you point them in a direction with anger,
• 2:24:45
  Speaker 2: you know, who's responsible for that type thing? But it's
• 2:24:50
  Speaker 2: always the person who is doing the harassment. It's their fault.
• 2:24:53
  Speaker 2: It's not Kelly Clarkson's fault.
• 2:24:56
  Speaker 3: She's America's sweetheart.
• 2:24:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the art of play in Brooklyn is the name
• 2:25:01
  Speaker 2: of the place. High price, mechanical bird, rising more issues
• 2:25:05
  Speaker 2: than just the quality of customer service. It's also a
• 2:25:07
  Speaker 2: case study in power dynamics and the differential that exists
• 2:25:11
  Speaker 2: between someone at a high profile and someone without high profile.
• 2:25:15
  Speaker 4: Also, another little plot twist to this whole Kelly Clarkson thing.
• 2:25:19
  Speaker 4: This is a deep cut for some, but a lot
• 2:25:21
  Speaker 4: of people are going to go, no way. So the
• 2:25:24
  Speaker 4: footage from the store, do you know who obtained that footage?
• 2:25:28
  Speaker 2: I do not.
• 2:25:28
  Speaker 4: Pablo Torre, the former ESPN, like... No way.
• 2:25:34
  Speaker 20: Yeah.
• 2:25:35
  Speaker 2: That's wild.
• 2:25:36
  Speaker 4: And it's just such a sign of 2026 to me
• 2:25:39
  Speaker 4: that all of these beat writers and journalists who were
• 2:25:43
  Speaker 4: on national television are still doing what they do just
• 2:25:46
  Speaker 4: without TV.
• 2:25:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 2:25:48
  Speaker 4: Now they're just an Instagram page or a Twitter follow
• 2:25:51
  Speaker 4: looking at Bill Simmons as a great example.
• 2:25:54
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 2:25:54
  Speaker 4: And his show is now doing very well.
• 2:25:57
  Speaker 18: Yeah, yeah.
• 2:25:57
  Speaker 2: I guess the video is obtained by the Pablo Torrey
• 2:26:00
  Speaker 2: Finds Out podcast.
• 2:26:01
  Speaker 15: Yes.
• 2:26:02
  Speaker 4: To the people who know that name, that's an insane
• 2:26:05
  Speaker 4: little chapter to this event.
• 2:26:07
  Speaker 2: Hey, one thing we brought up yesterday. We only have
• 2:26:08
  Speaker 2: about 30 seconds before we get out of here for
• 2:26:10
  Speaker 2: the segment is, what do you think about the Drewski
• 2:26:12
  Speaker 2: doing the SNL thing? It's pretty cool, right? Another sign
• 2:26:15
  Speaker 2: of 2026. Very happy for him. Crazy, right? An influencer
• 2:26:19
  Speaker 2: is going to do that. What a pot of people
• 2:26:21
  Speaker 2: to pull from. Because we were wondering, why is it Mr.
• 2:26:23
  Speaker 2: Beast there? He's got TV cred. Obviously, for SNL, it's
• 2:26:27
  Speaker 2: super smart because they're bringing somebody with millions of followers.
• 2:26:31
  Speaker 4: I would put Drewski also in a different category of
• 2:26:34
  Speaker 4: not just influencer, but he is a new-age comedian. I mean,
• 2:26:39
  Speaker 4: the productions that his sketches and his videos have, and
• 2:26:42
  Speaker 4: they always have bite.
• 2:26:45
  Speaker 2: They come with a definitive statement. Yeah, the Erica Kirk
• 2:26:48
  Speaker 2: thing is what put him on the map, though, right?
• 2:26:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:26:51
  Speaker 2: Well, to most America?
• 2:26:52
  Speaker 4: To most, but I think it was a rap video
• 2:26:55
  Speaker 4: that he broke through, and that was what he looks
• 2:26:57
  Speaker 4: at as like a big step up.
• 2:26:58
  Speaker 2: He was like in a Drake music video. By the way,
• 2:27:01
  Speaker 2: all of this drama for Kelly Clarkson, she was in
• 2:27:03
  Speaker 2: the store for a grand total of?
• 2:27:05
  Speaker 3: 30 seconds.
• 2:27:06
  Speaker 2: Three minutes. Five minutes. Five minutes is the answer, yeah.
• 2:27:09
  Speaker 2: Five minutes, and all this drama over a five-minute visit
• 2:27:12
  Speaker 2: to a toy store.
• 2:27:13
  Speaker 9: Yeah, but five minutes, but look at that bird. So
• 2:27:15
  Speaker 9: does the store come out ahead, Ben, with all this advertising?
• 2:27:20
  Speaker 2: Geez, I don't know. I would think it would have
• 2:27:22
  Speaker 2: to be, right? Because they put them on the map.
• 2:27:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think most people who go, maybe Kelly's
• 2:27:26
  Speaker 2: a bitch. I'm going to go there and find something cool.
• 2:27:27
  Speaker 9: Or will time only tell if the hassle, because you
• 2:27:30
  Speaker 9: figure the fervor will die down.
• 2:27:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 2:27:32
  Speaker 9: But then will the ongoing awareness that they now have
• 2:27:36
  Speaker 9: benefit them long term?
• 2:27:37
  Speaker 2: Dude, if I was in New York, why wouldn't you
• 2:27:39
  Speaker 2: drop by and check it out?
• 2:27:40
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 2:27:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, why wouldn't you? I want to see this bird.
• 2:27:41
  Speaker 17: Yeah.
• 2:27:42
  Speaker 2: All right, Deb, you heard it here first for us?
• 2:27:44
  Speaker 7: Yeah, relief is coming to some Lake County residents. Florida
• 2:27:47
  Speaker 7: Lottery announces new millionaires in Central Florida.
• 2:27:50
  Speaker 3: Maybe you know them. And now we know why Diddy
• 2:27:54
  Speaker 3: was hospitalized.
• 2:27:55
  Speaker 2: Oh, no.
• 2:27:56
  Speaker 3: We'll talk about that next during You Heard It Here First.
• 2:27:59
  Speaker 2: All right, you take a little break. We'll come back
• 2:28:00
  Speaker 2: and get Debs News and get the hell out of
• 2:28:01
  Speaker 2: here on a Wednesday.
• 2:28:06
  Speaker 1: It's time for a Talk Back Purge on The Jim
• 2:28:09
  Speaker 1: Colbert Show.
• 2:28:14
  Speaker 10: Jimmy the Pooh, Jimmy the Pooh.
• 2:28:19
  Speaker 11: I remember going to a midnight launch viewing of the
• 2:28:27
  Speaker 11: Blair Witch Project when it was still only showing in
• 2:28:29
  Speaker 11: one screen in San Jose, California, just after they had
• 2:28:35
  Speaker 11: released the quote-unquote documentary film about it.
• 2:28:40
  Speaker 4: It was the most disturbed I've ever left a theater.
• 2:28:43
  Speaker 2: In my life. It's a rocky horror.
• 2:28:46
  Speaker 5: So yeah, I was really disappointed to hear that Diddy
• 2:28:48
  Speaker 5: went to the hospital because he got into another fight
• 2:28:53
  Speaker 5: and it wasn't because they had to go in and
• 2:28:56
  Speaker 5: remove a thermos that he was trying to smuggle.
• 2:28:59
  Speaker 2: Damn it.
• 2:29:01
  Speaker 4: It tracks, though, with all the lube.
• 2:29:06
  Speaker 10: Hey, Jimmy, when you reached into that tree and got
• 2:29:08
  Speaker 10: all that honey, did any bees sting you in the mouth?
• 2:29:14
  Speaker 2: You're crazy. Is that real? It can't be.
• 2:29:22
  Speaker 1: The human torch was denied a Bangalone.
• 2:29:26
  Speaker 4: Light the candle.
• 2:29:27
  Speaker 1: Flip the campaign cake. How'd a boy go down?
• 2:29:31
  Speaker 2: I said flip the campaign cake. All right, welcome back
• 2:29:35
  Speaker 2: to the Jim Culver Show, Real Radio 104.1. I'm Jim. Deb, Jack,
• 2:29:39
  Speaker 2: and Ross are here as well. Hold up, tomorrow we have, like,
• 2:29:45
  Speaker 2: Chloe Jean tomorrow. Glenn Clausman returns tomorrow. Dig it. More
• 2:29:49
  Speaker 2: Sauce Daddy tomorrow. More opportunities for you to win $ 1, 000,
• 2:29:51
  Speaker 2: although we are blanking, dude. We are straight blanking. The
• 2:29:55
  Speaker 2: News Junkie has, like, all the winners for us. We
• 2:29:58
  Speaker 2: are giving out some money, though. The Cluster is doing well, though, right, Jack? Yeah.
• 2:30:03
  Speaker 9: Sister Sessions have a couple of winners, and, you know,
• 2:30:06
  Speaker 9: we put three up on the board.
• 2:30:07
  Speaker 2: I'm checking now to see.
• 2:30:09
  Speaker 16: Where we are.
• 2:30:09
  Speaker 2: Three?
• 2:30:10
  Speaker 4: Three.
• 2:30:11
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 2:30:11
  Speaker 2: Oh, a new show you had back-to-backs and then another one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wow,
• 2:30:15
  Speaker 2: so good. Very jealous.
• 2:30:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:30:18
  Speaker 2: Very jealous. Openly jealous.
• 2:30:20
  Speaker 3: But we can claim the later keyword winners, right?
• 2:30:24
  Speaker 7: Mm-hmm, yeah.
• 2:30:24
  Speaker 3: Because folks still have three more.
• 2:30:26
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, they can.
• 2:30:26
  Speaker 3: Seven, eight, and nine.
• 2:30:27
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 2:30:28
  Speaker 7: You know, it's a good time to play because, you know,
• 2:30:31
  Speaker 7: not as many people playing at 7, 8, and 9.
• 2:30:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that means that Good Sauce could get a winner.
• 2:30:35
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 2:30:36
  Speaker 3: There's still a chance.
• 2:30:37
  Speaker 2: Sorry, Deb's saying that's going to be a Jim Colbert show.
• 2:30:40
  Speaker 3: Well, Ross is part of the Jim Colbert show.
• 2:30:43
  Speaker 2: That's right. We make up our rules. You're looking at,
• 2:30:46
  Speaker 2: I'm Riley, he's Ella. That's our win every damn time.
• 2:30:52
  Speaker 2: Every damn time. After all, you're a spinoff. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 2:30:58
  Speaker 2: You're nothing but a spinoff. I like it. No, you're not.
• 2:31:01
  Speaker 2: There's good spinoffs. Better call Saul. All right, Deb, let's
• 2:31:04
  Speaker 2: do You Heard It Here Foist.
• 2:31:07
  Speaker 1: Time for You Heard It Here First on the Jim
• 2:31:11
  Speaker 1: Colbert Show.
• 2:31:12
  Speaker 7: Relief is coming to some Lake County residents whose lives
• 2:31:15
  Speaker 7: haven't been the same since a roundabout was installed.
• 2:31:18
  Speaker 1: Oh, man.
• 2:31:18
  Speaker 7: The roundabout is in Mount Dora on Bay Road, and
• 2:31:21
  Speaker 7: neighbors say the lights from passing cars at night light
• 2:31:24
  Speaker 7: up their homes.
• 2:31:25
  Speaker 2: Oh, no.
• 2:31:26
  Speaker 9: That's something you don't think about, right?
• 2:31:29
  Speaker 2: No way. That sucks.
• 2:31:31
  Speaker 7: So that, combined with the traffic and noise... had them
• 2:31:35
  Speaker 7: asking the County Commission, please do something. And commissioners voted
• 2:31:40
  Speaker 7: yesterday to pay for privacy fencing at three of the homes.
• 2:31:44
  Speaker 2: Damn, dude.
• 2:31:45
  Speaker 7: The county will pay up to $ 10, 000 per property.
• 2:31:48
  Speaker 3: That's like, right?
• 2:31:50
  Speaker 2: Boy, you shouldn't tell any fence contractor that. Oh, how
• 2:31:53
  Speaker 2: much is it going to be? Ten grand?
• 2:31:55
  Speaker 15: Oh, yeah.
• 2:31:56
  Speaker 11: Perfect.
• 2:31:56
  Speaker 2: Works out great.
• 2:31:57
  Speaker 7: One homeowner is grateful, but also not totally convinced this
• 2:32:01
  Speaker 7: will solve the problem. He tells News 6 it'll eliminate
• 2:32:03
  Speaker 7: just part of the problem. as it would take a
• 2:32:06
  Speaker 7: 20 foot fence to help anyone on the second floor.
• 2:32:09
  Speaker 2: I know somebody who lived at a road like that,
• 2:32:11
  Speaker 2: where it was a crossroad and the stop in their
• 2:32:13
  Speaker 2: house was right there. And I was, I remember being
• 2:32:16
  Speaker 2: over there and every three seconds, the living room just
• 2:32:20
  Speaker 2: lit up. Like it was being abducted. I'd be like,
• 2:32:22
  Speaker 2: how do you live here? It was their front window too.
• 2:32:25
  Speaker 2: Oh no. Yeah. And you have no control over where
• 2:32:27
  Speaker 2: they can do stuff. You can't put a fence up
• 2:32:29
  Speaker 2: there by right across your driveway. Exactly. Insane.
• 2:32:32
  Speaker 7: So they install it and then you're left with the problem. Well,
• 2:32:35
  Speaker 7: if you're one of these three lucky folks, you don't
• 2:32:37
  Speaker 7: have to worry about it because Central Florida has three
• 2:32:39
  Speaker 7: new millionaires. The Florida Lottery announced that Orlando's May Hall,
• 2:32:45
  Speaker 7: Orlando's Nathan Brown, and Ocala's Robin Vollmer were winners in June.
• 2:32:49
  Speaker 7: And probably hating it that we're talking about it.
• 2:32:51
  Speaker 2: You bet your ass they are.
• 2:32:52
  Speaker 3: Hall was the biggest winner, taking home over $ 10 million.
• 2:32:55
  Speaker 7: Damn. from 300 times the cash scratch-off game. I don't
• 2:33:00
  Speaker 7: think of those scratch-off games enough. Brown took home $ 4
• 2:33:03
  Speaker 7: million from the Mega Millions, and Vollmer was paid over
• 2:33:06
  Speaker 7: $ 3 million from the $ 5 million triple-match scratch-off game.
• 2:33:11
  Speaker 2: That's going to be one hell of a side-by-side out
• 2:33:13
  Speaker 2: there in the forest. And you know it's coming. You
• 2:33:17
  Speaker 2: know it's coming.
• 2:33:17
  Speaker 7: And then finally, more details are emerging from Sean Diddy Combs'
• 2:33:21
  Speaker 7: hospitalization over the weekend. That guy's not wrong. That talkback, right? Well,
• 2:33:25
  Speaker 7: TMZ reports the entertainer suffered a severe head injury during
• 2:33:31
  Speaker 7: a prison fight with a Jamaican drug lord.
• 2:33:35
  Speaker 2: Oh, no way.
• 2:33:36
  Speaker 22: Really?
• 2:33:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:33:36
  Speaker 3: Apparently Christopher Coke.
• 2:33:38
  Speaker 4: Oh, irony.
• 2:33:41
  Speaker 7: Reportedly confronted Diddy over a loss of privileges.
• 2:33:45
  Speaker 2: He was the guy from Kingston, right? Christopher Coke. Yeah. Yeah,
• 2:33:50
  Speaker 2: this is big time.
• 2:33:51
  Speaker 7: So he lost his privileges due to an NBC News
• 2:33:55
  Speaker 7: report about a posh lifestyle behind bars.
• 2:33:59
  Speaker 2: Oh, so this guy was supplying Diddy with all the
• 2:34:00
  Speaker 2: stuff from that? No, no, no, no. He was benefiting
• 2:34:03
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 2:34:04
  Speaker 9: But when news gets out about what's happening to Diddy.
• 2:34:07
  Speaker 2: It blew everybody up. Everyone lost their.
• 2:34:09
  Speaker 3: Everybody lost their privileges. Can you imagine?
• 2:34:13
  Speaker 4: Jamaican drug lords are kind of on top of the
• 2:34:15
  Speaker 4: list not to piss off. I was just about to
• 2:34:17
  Speaker 4: say that, Ross.
• 2:34:18
  Speaker 7: I was going to say of all the people you
• 2:34:20
  Speaker 7: don't want to piss off, I would say Jamaican drug
• 2:34:22
  Speaker 7: lord with the last name Cope.
• 2:34:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good one.
• 2:34:24
  Speaker 7: Is someone you don't want to make mad.
• 2:34:26
  Speaker 2: It's a straight up movie character.
• 2:34:27
  Speaker 7: Now, both men are now serving time in solitary confinement. And,
• 2:34:31
  Speaker 7: of course, Diddy's had his prison time extended because of
• 2:34:34
  Speaker 7: these privileges that he's been allowed behind bars. So he's
• 2:34:37
  Speaker 7: not even getting out until March when he thought it
• 2:34:39
  Speaker 7: was going to be January.
• 2:34:41
  Speaker 12: Damn.
• 2:34:41
  Speaker 3: And you heard it here first on the Jim Colbert Show.
• 2:34:44
  Speaker 2: Good job, Deb. Appreciate that.
• 2:34:46
  Speaker 20: Thanks.
• 2:34:47
  Speaker 2: Who do we have to thank today, young lady?
• 2:34:48
  Speaker 15: Sure.
• 2:34:49
  Speaker 3: We want to thank that mortgage guy, Don.

  Speaker 9: Yeah.

  Speaker 2: Thank you, Don.
