0:05
Speaker 1: This happened already a week away from Thanksgiving, motoring right
0:08
Speaker 1: through the work week, two and the month and the year.
0:11
Speaker 1: We're almost done, how about that. Thanks for hanging out,
0:13
Speaker 1: Thanks for finding Wicked Radio. I'm Bill. Thanks for finding
0:15
Speaker 1: the audio podcast too. That'll be posted pretty soon. Hey,
0:19
Speaker 1: posts by I don't know like n A in Eastern Time.
0:21
Speaker 1: You're around there. Wherever it gets your platform podcast, that's
0:24
Speaker 1: where you find it there. It's a lot to talk
0:25
Speaker 1: about today, the good and the bad. We got to
0:27
Speaker 1: talk about the national smoke out that's actually today. Celebrities
0:30
Speaker 1: are actually leaving the country. It's actually happening, all right,
0:34
Speaker 1: one main celebrity, but it's a start, okay. And we
0:37
Speaker 1: got to talk about the Lincoln Riley case and the
0:39
Speaker 1: sentencing for her illegal immigrant murderer. Because I can't I
0:43
Speaker 1: can't get her stepdad's letter in his testimony out of
0:47
Speaker 1: my mind. It was just it was it's unbelievable. If
0:50
Speaker 1: you're a parent, you're probably the same way. Even if
0:51
Speaker 1: you're a human with a heart and a soul, you
0:54
Speaker 1: probably feel the same way. Wicked the movie has been
0:58
Speaker 1: released upon us. It is out. If you got some
1:00
Speaker 1: theater kids or just theater people, maybe your wife, maybe you.
1:05
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's out. Apparently the movie it's gonna
1:09
Speaker 1: be huge. It's gonna be one of the biggest movies
1:10
Speaker 1: in years. We'll see. But the main theater chain that's
1:14
Speaker 1: releasing it as a ridiculous warning about it. We'll talk
1:16
Speaker 1: about that. My favorite story of the day coming up here.
1:18
Speaker 1: That will wrap up with are you ready for a
1:21
Speaker 1: world where street signs swear at you? Quite? Frankly, I am.
1:26
Speaker 1: It gets people to slow down, but let's talk about it.
1:28
Speaker 1: Like I said, a week away from Thanksgiving, it's also
1:30
Speaker 1: today the National Smokeout, or as the jingle says, Smokeout. Okay,
1:38
Speaker 1: you know they had a jingle. I also didn't know
1:40
Speaker 1: was officially the third Thursday of November. I was just
1:43
Speaker 1: kind of aware that it's a thing every year. You know,
1:46
Speaker 1: all the health departments in the CDC and you see
1:49
Speaker 1: a lot of the PSA's out today in the commercials.
1:51
Speaker 1: They try to get people who smoke too's quit for
1:53
Speaker 1: at least one day. And it's a nice effort. Here's
1:56
Speaker 1: the good news. So the CDC and I just looked
1:58
Speaker 1: this up just a couple of hours ago. CDC says
2:01
Speaker 1: two point two five million middle and high school students
2:04
Speaker 1: say they use tobacco products. That's vaping too. Included in
2:09
Speaker 1: that Now they finally got smart and included that statistic.
2:11
Speaker 1: That's the lowest in twenty five years, they say, according
2:14
Speaker 1: to their stats. If you want to believe the statistics,
2:16
Speaker 1: most statistics lie. But they say it's a downward trend.
2:20
Speaker 1: And it seems to be the case, doesn't it. And
2:22
Speaker 1: this seemed to be like, I don't know, even take
2:24
Speaker 1: like ten fifteen years ago, it seemed like way more
2:26
Speaker 1: people smoked. And I know you can't tell as much
2:29
Speaker 1: these days because you got you know, the Zell nicotine
2:32
Speaker 1: tablets were a lot better than putting smoke in your lungs,
2:35
Speaker 1: and sometimes you can't tell with people who vape. It's
2:36
Speaker 1: kind of like a sneak of tokee. It's like a
2:38
Speaker 1: you can always tell. But that's pretty good. It's a
2:41
Speaker 1: good trend. I don't think having a day like the
2:43
Speaker 1: National Smokeout actually matters that much. It's nice that they're
2:47
Speaker 1: actually taking it on and I think they always point
2:51
Speaker 1: to this and they're right about this. It's a major impact.
2:53
Speaker 1: What gets people to stop smoking. The cost of it.
2:57
Speaker 1: You talk to anybody that still smokes traditional you know,
2:59
Speaker 1: like Marlboroughs or whatever. The cost of it, like a
3:02
Speaker 1: cart and a cigarettes, it's ridiculous. You could go into
3:04
Speaker 1: debt buying cigarettes. And I totally get that, so that
3:07
Speaker 1: you know that's a that's a factor to get people
3:09
Speaker 1: to quit. But the addiction is so strong that it
3:12
Speaker 1: almost takes something more than that. You got to get
3:14
Speaker 1: You got to get a little downer and dirtier when
3:16
Speaker 1: this happens. I can't try to speak to you as
3:19
Speaker 1: some sort of a smoking cessation expert, but I've certainly
3:23
Speaker 1: interviewed enough of them, and in my personal life, I
3:26
Speaker 1: will tell you this. It doesn't work all the time,
3:29
Speaker 1: but I know for a fact in my life, not
3:31
Speaker 1: in my family, I still got smokers, but in my
3:34
Speaker 1: personal work life, friends of mine that I've worked with
3:37
Speaker 1: over the years, it's happened twice. I've been able to
3:40
Speaker 1: I know for a fact, strongly influence them to be
3:43
Speaker 1: able to quit smoking. You know how it worked, then
3:45
Speaker 1: you're not. You may not like this public shaming. It's
3:48
Speaker 1: that you have to embarrass people that the addiction is.
3:50
Speaker 1: The addiction is too strong. You have to publicly shame
3:53
Speaker 1: people who still smoke. And in both cases, both of
3:55
Speaker 1: my work friends that I said the same thing in
3:58
Speaker 1: front of other people too. I'm like, oh my god,
4:00
Speaker 1: you still smoke, I said to a friend of mine,
4:03
Speaker 1: I said, nobody still smokes, Like no one, what are
4:08
Speaker 1: you doing? And I left it at that and he
4:10
Speaker 1: was like publicly shamed in the workplace. You know, around
4:12
Speaker 1: the smoking areas is everybody else is just trying to
4:14
Speaker 1: get some It works. Sometimes you have to get nasty.
4:18
Speaker 1: You may lose some friends over it temporarily, but if
4:21
Speaker 1: you want to save their lives, I'm just saying, yes,
4:23
Speaker 1: the cost is one factor. It's nice to get the
4:25
Speaker 1: national smoke out out there, but you got to you
4:28
Speaker 1: have to. I'm sorry, but you have to publicly shame
4:30
Speaker 1: you're smoking friends. I'm sorry. It just happens, all right.
4:33
Speaker 1: Here's some other good news before we get to the
4:34
Speaker 1: Lake in Riley story, because that's just it's too heartbreaking.
4:36
Speaker 1: We need to build up to that one. I gotta
4:40
Speaker 1: tell you. For all the celebrities that promise that they
4:43
Speaker 1: were going to leave the country of Trump wins, and
4:45
Speaker 1: there was a lot of them, it's like even more
4:47
Speaker 1: than twenty sixteen or twenty twenty, I remember, and none
4:51
Speaker 1: of them ever did. They all just stayed right. One
4:54
Speaker 1: actually has left and says she's never coming back. Maybe
4:59
Speaker 1: career had something to with this. Maybe there's no more
5:01
Speaker 1: opportunities those dried up Ellen is gone. Ellen and her
5:05
Speaker 1: uh it's her wife, right, I think so Portia de Rossi,
5:09
Speaker 1: they're gone. They left the US. That they they followed
5:13
Speaker 1: through with their promise to leave the US if Trump wins,
5:15
Speaker 1: and they did it. No, I think it's ridiculous that
5:17
Speaker 1: you would move out of the country, even if you
5:19
Speaker 1: had the means, just because you're your politician didn't win.
5:21
Speaker 1: I think that's insane. You gotta stay here and fight
5:23
Speaker 1: for the change you want. But I gotta tell you,
5:27
Speaker 1: as ridiculous as I think that is, on some level,
5:32
Speaker 1: you have to respect it, don't you. She said on
5:35
Speaker 1: her show. I think it was while she was interviewing Kamalo,
5:38
Speaker 1: wasn't it She said publicly, if Trump wins, I'm going
5:41
Speaker 1: to leave the country, and she did. There's something about
5:45
Speaker 1: that you gotta respect. Now she's the first one. I
5:48
Speaker 1: don't think it's gonna lead to this cavalcade of celebrities
5:51
Speaker 1: that are gonna leave even though they said they would.
5:55
Speaker 1: Who still left? Meadhead, Rob Ryner, Remember that I can't
5:59
Speaker 1: live in this cut. If Trump wins, if if actual
6:02
Speaker 1: Hitler wins the election, de niro is still here, Rosie O'Donnell.
6:07
Speaker 1: I think Lady Gaga was another one who promised to leave. Yes,
6:10
Speaker 1: she's still here. Obviously this has been wild. While we're
6:13
Speaker 1: talking about celebrities political celebrities, though, have you paid any
6:17
Speaker 1: attention whatsoever to Mark Hamill? You know, Luke Skywalker, this
6:21
Speaker 1: has been wild. I think he was another one that
6:23
Speaker 1: promised to leave. He may have left the country. He's
6:28
Speaker 1: left everything, He's gone like apparently there's no there's been
6:32
Speaker 1: no sightings of him. He hasn't posted since election night
6:36
Speaker 1: anything online. I think he deleted possibly his ex account.
6:39
Speaker 1: Maybe he went to that Blue Sky thing. Apparently not
6:41
Speaker 1: in any social media. There are people in Hollywood that
6:44
Speaker 1: said they can't find him. I mean, you hope that,
6:46
Speaker 1: you hope the guy's not in you're like physical danger
6:49
Speaker 1: or anything. But he's there's one thing to leave the country.
6:53
Speaker 1: He's like, he's like dissy, he's ghosted. That guy's gone.
6:57
Speaker 1: I don't maybe he's maybe maybe is a Jedi and
7:00
Speaker 1: he just used the force and he disappeared, just like
7:02
Speaker 1: Luke Skywalker did. Remember that one. All right, we gotta
7:04
Speaker 1: get to this. Enough of the build up. So the tragic,
7:08
Speaker 1: horrific tale of Lake and Riley, the Georgia college student
7:11
Speaker 1: who was it's a fact. This is an opinion. This
7:13
Speaker 1: is a fact. She was murdered while jogging by an
7:16
Speaker 1: illegal immigrant. Jose Ibarra. I hate even say it his name,
7:20
Speaker 1: but it's relevant to the story. She was murdered by
7:23
Speaker 1: an illegal imigrant. They shouldn't have been here in the
7:24
Speaker 1: first place. She should still be alive. We all know that.
7:27
Speaker 1: We all know what it's led to some of the
7:29
Speaker 1: other side stories. The prosecutor that refused to put the
7:32
Speaker 1: death penalty on the table, a George Soros funded prosecutor
7:38
Speaker 1: in her district. That's why this guy's not getting into
7:40
Speaker 1: the death penalty. He was all up to her, I know. Whatever.
7:44
Speaker 1: So the trial finally comes to pass guilty on all charges. Now,
7:46
Speaker 1: this dirt bag that killed Lake and Riley, this beautiful
7:50
Speaker 1: college student, completely innocent while she was jogging. He is
7:53
Speaker 1: going to serve life in jail without parole, his entire
7:56
Speaker 1: life without possibility of parole. If you followed this at all,
8:00
Speaker 1: it may be too horrific to follow. I get that,
8:03
Speaker 1: But I kept on seeing the video and the coverage
8:08
Speaker 1: of her stepdad who read a letter to the killer,
8:13
Speaker 1: and his words were just he was so classy about
8:17
Speaker 1: it and yet got the message out so well. All
8:21
Speaker 1: I kept thinking was, this guy is so much better
8:24
Speaker 1: of a person than I would be in that situation
8:26
Speaker 1: if somebody had killed my daughter, I really would. But
8:28
Speaker 1: we got to get to the whole thing about don't
8:30
Speaker 1: think I'm no legal experts. Maybe you are, and you
8:33
Speaker 1: can help me out with this and show me in
8:35
Speaker 1: the comments. Not every try like this allows family members
8:39
Speaker 1: to speak to the killer, to the guilty, but this
8:42
Speaker 1: one did so. At least they had that. But what
8:44
Speaker 1: he said was I thought, really just so profound, and
8:47
Speaker 1: he kept his cool way better than I ever ever
8:50
Speaker 1: would have been able to.
8:53
Speaker 2: Well, it's true that none of our lives have ever
8:55
Speaker 2: be the same.
8:55
Speaker 3: We refuse to let this person rob Lake and of
8:58
Speaker 3: the hope she gave to her family.
9:01
Speaker 2: Loved ones, friends, in the world as a whole. We
9:06
Speaker 2: were proudly carry this hope on in her name.
9:10
Speaker 3: In the days ahead, and for the rest of our lives,
9:12
Speaker 3: because together we can all keep hope alive. So today
9:18
Speaker 3: I'm pleaded with this court to protect the world from
9:20
Speaker 3: this truly evil person by sentencing him to prison for
9:25
Speaker 3: life without the possibility of parole for any reason, so
9:29
Speaker 3: that he could never have the opportunity to do this
9:32
Speaker 3: to anyone else ever.
9:33
Speaker 1: Again, which they did. That's how they sentenced him. And
9:37
Speaker 1: again it would have been you know, death pedally in
9:39
Speaker 1: that district in Georgia would have been on the table.
9:41
Speaker 1: But there's a prosecutor that took that off the table again,
9:44
Speaker 1: a George Soros funded prosecutor for god knows whatever reason.
9:48
Speaker 1: You know, that's that's need of hearing her there all
9:51
Speaker 1: I kept thinking about and I have not been able
9:52
Speaker 1: to stop thinking about, like a lot of you, this
9:55
Speaker 1: case obviously because you know, I'm a dad with daughters too.
9:59
Speaker 1: But ever since I saw that video of the stepdad
10:02
Speaker 1: and his heartfelt emotion and speaking directly too, I mean,
10:04
Speaker 1: he's in the same he's looking at the dirt bag
10:07
Speaker 1: that killed his daughter. I can't I can't stop thinking
10:10
Speaker 1: about that, and I can't stop placing myself in that situation.
10:14
Speaker 1: I wonder if you do the same thing too, like,
10:15
Speaker 1: what would you say directly to the person response, the monster,
10:19
Speaker 1: the evil responsible for this? What would you say? One
10:23
Speaker 1: thing I know for sure is I never would have
10:25
Speaker 1: been able to keep my cool the way he did.
10:27
Speaker 1: And I know his voice is cracking news the verge
10:29
Speaker 1: of tears. Understandably, there's no way I would be able
10:33
Speaker 1: to keep my cool in that situation. And I keep
10:36
Speaker 1: rolling through this on my head, I think what I
10:37
Speaker 1: would I think what I would have done, because they
10:39
Speaker 1: have a translator for the dirt bag, so he can
10:42
Speaker 1: understand he had the headphone translator on. I think what
10:45
Speaker 1: I would have done, because there's been a lot of
10:47
Speaker 1: time in this is I would have written it out,
10:48
Speaker 1: and I think I would have translated it to myself
10:50
Speaker 1: in the letter in Spanish so that there's nothing lost
10:53
Speaker 1: in translation, just in case, right, I think I would
10:56
Speaker 1: have learned the proper pronunciation of all the words, so
10:59
Speaker 1: he knows crystal clear what I think of him in
11:02
Speaker 1: his native language, this dirt bag, so it goes directly
11:05
Speaker 1: to his demented brain with nothing in between, a no middleman.
11:10
Speaker 1: I think I would have done that, and I think
11:12
Speaker 1: personally some of the things I would have said, if
11:15
Speaker 1: they would have allowed me in the court, would be
11:19
Speaker 1: you face a worse fate in hell. I also would
11:22
Speaker 1: have said, I don't think you're going to survive prison.
11:24
Speaker 1: I think I would have spent at least a little
11:26
Speaker 1: bit of time in that letter telling him what I
11:27
Speaker 1: think is going to happen to him in prison. I
11:29
Speaker 1: would that's just me. Your stepdad is a better person
11:33
Speaker 1: than me. Maybe you're probably a better person than me.
11:34
Speaker 1: But I would have said it because I would have
11:36
Speaker 1: tried to. I would have tried to have left this
11:38
Speaker 1: scumbag with it with fear. I would have tried to
11:43
Speaker 1: if that's all we have, doesn't have the fear of death.
11:45
Speaker 1: He gets to still live for now. But that's what
11:49
Speaker 1: I would have tried to have done. And I would
11:50
Speaker 1: have tried to have pushed the emotion and yell at
11:53
Speaker 1: him as best I possibly could if they would allow me.
11:55
Speaker 1: And I kept thinking about that too. I think now,
11:58
Speaker 1: remember now, this was a case for justifiable reasons that
12:01
Speaker 1: got national headlines, so much publicity, yeah, you know, covered everywhere,
12:08
Speaker 1: And they did allow family members because the mom, her
12:11
Speaker 1: mom did too get to get to read a letter
12:12
Speaker 1: out loud. I don't think every court allows you to
12:15
Speaker 1: do this, but in this case they did, and because
12:18
Speaker 1: there was so much publicity, I don't think they would.
12:22
Speaker 1: I don't think they would stop you from saying anything
12:24
Speaker 1: you wanted to. I think I'm not completely sure about that,
12:28
Speaker 1: but I think you could pretty much say anything you
12:29
Speaker 1: wanted to. Who's going to stop you. Every camera in
12:32
Speaker 1: the world, for every network is in there. The judge
12:37
Speaker 1: would looked really bad if he told the parents, oh,
12:39
Speaker 1: calm down, you, that's not proper. That wouldn't go well.
12:42
Speaker 1: And I don't think Again, I'm no legal expert, but
12:45
Speaker 1: I don't think they vet or proofread or edit any
12:47
Speaker 1: of the comments in the letter you read before court.
12:49
Speaker 1: If you're a lawyer, please let me know if I'm
12:51
Speaker 1: wrong about that. But I think so so my letter
12:54
Speaker 1: would be a lot nastier than his. But I think
12:56
Speaker 1: that guy is a lot better person than I am.
12:57
Speaker 1: But Justice, I don't know if you want to look
13:02
Speaker 1: at this in a good way. It'll draw attention to
13:03
Speaker 1: the criminal element that is in our country right now,
13:06
Speaker 1: and it has I mean, she'll never be forgotten. Her
13:08
Speaker 1: or Kate Steinley that got killed a few years ago
13:10
Speaker 1: by somebody that shouldn't have been here as well the
13:12
Speaker 1: criminal element, so her death will not be in vain.
13:15
Speaker 1: But I can't get that stepdad's testimony out of my
13:19
Speaker 1: head because couldn't imagine God love them and send all
13:23
Speaker 1: your thoughts and prayers to that family, because I couldn't
13:25
Speaker 1: imagine going through that all right, Well, to get us
13:29
Speaker 1: out of that and to distract us with some useless
13:31
Speaker 1: entertainment news, some more like the celebrities leaving guess what's
13:35
Speaker 1: upon us now? Wicked the movie This is gonna be huge.
13:39
Speaker 1: It actually is gonna be huge me and maybe you're
13:41
Speaker 1: not into this whatever, I will tell you though, I
13:42
Speaker 1: got to be completely honest, uh not a musical guy
13:47
Speaker 1: like whatsoever. I can't usually stand them. The Wicked musical
13:51
Speaker 1: on Broadway was amazing. It was frickin' awesome, I will
13:56
Speaker 1: tell you that much. So this may have an appeal.
13:57
Speaker 1: The movie version of this may have a big appeal,
13:59
Speaker 1: more more than just the Broadway fans. So it's out premieres.
14:04
Speaker 1: I heard a one anecdotal review of this thing so far.
14:08
Speaker 1: My daughter came home yesterday. She has a friend that
14:10
Speaker 1: actually saw an early preview of it, and she said
14:12
Speaker 1: it is awesome. So at least it's living up to
14:14
Speaker 1: the hype from theater kids. You know, so we'll see
14:19
Speaker 1: this is hilarious. AMC Theaters, which is still huge, is
14:23
Speaker 1: running a thirty second warning before the movie airs. This
14:28
Speaker 1: is honest to God true, set to clips that say
14:32
Speaker 1: talk about a killjoy. No talking, no texting, no singing.
14:37
Speaker 1: An AMC spokesperson says the chain has quote a long
14:40
Speaker 1: standing policy that prohibits disruptive behavior like singing along to
14:45
Speaker 1: one of their favorite musicals they've waited years to see
14:47
Speaker 1: in the theater. Yeah, good luck with that. Other than
14:51
Speaker 1: theaters probably enforced a policy. They tried to do this
14:53
Speaker 1: with the Taylor swift Eras tour movie. There's no way
14:57
Speaker 1: on earth that even worked. The trust me, fans of
15:00
Speaker 1: the Wicked movie are going to be singing in that
15:02
Speaker 1: theater or if you're like my house for the past
15:05
Speaker 1: four years, four every since we saw Wicked on Broadway.
15:09
Speaker 1: This is what I hear him because it's catchy, dign
15:19
Speaker 1: deal with stuff people from singing. There's no way, good luck.
15:22
Speaker 1: I don't know whatever it'll happen. Who knows it should
15:26
Speaker 1: be good?
15:26
Speaker 3: Though?
15:26
Speaker 1: Let's see, I'm kind of looking forward to it. Now
15:28
Speaker 1: my favorite story of the day. It has arrived. Now
15:32
Speaker 1: I gotta set this one up by saying this. I
15:33
Speaker 1: think ever since COVID we have I don't want to
15:36
Speaker 1: sound like old guy because I drive pretty fast. I
15:39
Speaker 1: promise you I really do. I go over the speed
15:41
Speaker 1: limbit by a lot, but nothing compared to what you
15:44
Speaker 1: see these days. I think cars are built so well
15:46
Speaker 1: these days, and we're so overcaffeinated, and we got crazy
15:50
Speaker 1: jacked up soccer moms all over the place. People are
15:53
Speaker 1: driving way too fast in general these days. They just are.
15:55
Speaker 1: I think that's just my opinion, it's just a fact. Well,
15:59
Speaker 1: somebody in Boulder, Colorado has taken this to the extreme
16:02
Speaker 1: and they have had enough because somebody, and they don't
16:05
Speaker 1: know who. My speculation is it's some guy. It's probably
16:07
Speaker 1: a dad, most likely, but somebody in Boulder, Colorado put
16:11
Speaker 1: up at least five profane traffic signs. But here's the thing.
16:16
Speaker 1: They're not just like written on cardboarder would and posted
16:18
Speaker 1: up there whatever. They're professionally made, professionally printed, metallic. They
16:25
Speaker 1: look just like the city came up with them traffic
16:27
Speaker 1: signs on their own post and in some cases, they
16:30
Speaker 1: took down another sign that was there and they added
16:33
Speaker 1: it to it. So it looks like the city of
16:34
Speaker 1: Boulder made these things. What am I talking about. Here's
16:37
Speaker 1: a little example of some of them, and they're fantastic.
16:39
Speaker 1: You have to see them. They're just great. I love this.
16:42
Speaker 1: One of them is pretty mundane, get off your damn phone.
16:46
Speaker 1: Another one says slow the f down. There's a few
16:51
Speaker 1: of them that say don't kill any kids today with
16:54
Speaker 1: the slowdown message. But here's my favorite of all. There's
16:58
Speaker 1: just one so far. There's a sign in Boulder, Colorado,
17:01
Speaker 1: somebody made professionally that says slow down, asshole. Okay, it
17:08
Speaker 1: gets the message across. Now, of course the police commander
17:11
Speaker 1: in Boulder, Colorado has to say something about this.
17:14
Speaker 4: I'm guessing that it's a concerned citizen that is kind
17:16
Speaker 4: of fed up with some of the behavior they're seeing
17:18
Speaker 4: in their neighborhoods or in other neighborhoods. So, you know,
17:22
Speaker 4: I definitely appreciate the gesture behind I think what they
17:25
Speaker 4: were intending to do. But you know, like we said,
17:27
Speaker 4: it is a crime, and you know, there's definitely other
17:31
Speaker 4: means that people can take to try to let us
17:32
Speaker 4: know of these behaviors.
17:34
Speaker 1: Well, what are there means? Obviously the guy or might
17:37
Speaker 1: be a mom I don't know, has complained a lot
17:40
Speaker 1: to your city. I'm sure you can't catch them all,
17:42
Speaker 1: but there you don't just jump right to the profane
17:45
Speaker 1: signs and spend the money and the time and sneak
17:48
Speaker 1: around late at night and put these things up if
17:50
Speaker 1: you haven't already tried to complain about it, right, I
17:53
Speaker 1: gotta say they bet Okay, they've got to find the person.
17:55
Speaker 1: It's just too easy to catch somebody these days. Nobody
17:57
Speaker 1: can stay off the grid. They better not prosecute this person,
18:00
Speaker 1: honest to God, because it's all in the name, in
18:02
Speaker 1: the spear, okay, letter of the law. Yes, the person
18:05
Speaker 1: broke the law. Fine, but they're trying to get a
18:07
Speaker 1: message across. I can appreciate that. And obviously the message
18:11
Speaker 1: wasn't getting across to the Boulder PD. So give the
18:14
Speaker 1: guy or okay, maybe girl a break and slap him
18:17
Speaker 1: on the wrist and that's it. They better not prosecute
18:19
Speaker 1: this person with a heavy fine or something that would
18:21
Speaker 1: be stupid. And I gotta tell you, Okay, maybe they're
18:25
Speaker 1: great people, and maybe it's a great agency in Boulder, Colorado.
18:29
Speaker 1: But uh, you weren't exactly getting the job done. And
18:31
Speaker 1: now you've got national attention on this because you weren't
18:34
Speaker 1: getting the job done. So say what you will about
18:37
Speaker 1: the traffic signs that are saying slow down, asshole. Fine, okay,
18:41
Speaker 1: maybe not proper and you don't want little kids seeing that.
18:44
Speaker 1: I get that, But it got the message across, didn't
18:48
Speaker 1: it isn't that the point? And I would bet you,
18:51
Speaker 1: I would bet you, and not only woke up the
18:53
Speaker 1: police department of Boulder, Colorado. I bet you there are
18:56
Speaker 1: several people in that town who normally speed by there,
18:58
Speaker 1: saw the sign, laughed at it and said, you know what,
19:01
Speaker 1: maybe I am speeding too much through here. Maybe maybe
19:03
Speaker 1: I should slow down a little bit, just saying I
19:06
Speaker 1: kind of enjoy it. If you get gut some time
19:08
Speaker 1: later on today, look up the profane traffic signs in Boulder, Colorado.
19:12
Speaker 1: They're fantastic because they took them down already. But I
19:15
Speaker 1: don't know. Sometimes we get a hero we didn't ask for,
19:19
Speaker 1: We get a hero we need. I would love to
19:20
Speaker 1: see this become a tread myself who knows, all right,
19:23
Speaker 1: thanks for finding me that wraps it up a lot
19:26
Speaker 1: to talk about tomorrow as we head into the final
19:28
Speaker 1: weekend before the Great American Holiday Thanksgiving. There's gonna be
19:31
Speaker 1: a lot of turkey, a lot of turkey talk coming
19:33
Speaker 1: up next week from this turkey right here. And thanks

Speaker 1: you can find me and as live as a replay

Speaker 1: much focus on that. One main takeaway today. If you
19:56
Speaker 1: want to get somebody to stop smoking on this Great
19:58
Speaker 1: American Smokeout, I hate to say it, you gotta publicly
20:01
Speaker 1: shame 'em. You can do that, use your communication skills.
20:04
Speaker 1: Most importantly, don't take it a crab from anybody. Have
20:07
Speaker 1: a wicked, awesome day. We'll talk to you tomorrow.
