- 0:00Speaker 1: Tony Kats The Morning News ninety three WIBC. My name
- 0:04Speaker 1: is Craig Collins, filling in, thrilled to be with you,
- 0:07Speaker 1: Matt and Carl, hanging out as they do every single
- 0:09Speaker 1: morning on this show. People are mad at rich kids, apparently.
- 0:13Speaker 1: That's a topic I saw on the New York Post.
- 0:16Speaker 1: I think one of the Beckhams, like her allowance, went viral,
- 0:21Speaker 1: and her allowance is a million dollars, which is.
- 0:24Speaker 2: A good amount of money.
- 0:25Speaker 1: That seems good, But nepo babies are something that people
- 0:28Speaker 1: are complaining about. The rise of quote rich talkers is
- 0:32Speaker 1: what they call them, people who flaunt the fact that
- 0:34Speaker 1: they get a whole bunch of money from the rich
- 0:36Speaker 1: family members to do whatever they want in their lives
- 0:38Speaker 1: with Here's what's funny to me about this. The overshare
- 0:42Speaker 1: world that we exist in in society, like in social
- 0:46Speaker 1: media is the reason that we even get to see
- 0:48Speaker 1: this stuff and the reason these people go viral, and
- 0:51Speaker 1: then the reason other people get jealous and mad about it.
- 0:53Speaker 1: But rich people spending their money on fun stuff has
- 0:57Speaker 1: been going on for a while, so to be mad
- 0:59Speaker 1: about it now seems uniquely silly and stupid. And if
- 1:03Speaker 1: you made the money, you're allowed to spend it however
- 1:04Speaker 1: you want. This is also fine to me. But this
- 1:07Speaker 1: is a big new trend is crapping on the rich
- 1:10Speaker 1: talkers who are out there who seem to be enjoying
- 1:12Speaker 1: life more than me and you.
- 1:14Speaker 3: If I was an EPO kid, I would have an
- 1:16Speaker 3: Instagram account just with my g five airplanes and another
- 1:20Speaker 3: one just for all of my model girlfriends. I mean,
- 1:23Speaker 3: this is what kids do. I mean, think about it.
- 1:26Speaker 3: We're all more secure now. We're supposed to be, you know,
- 1:28Speaker 3: at least more as our middle age is here and
- 1:31Speaker 3: we're in that we're supposed to be more mature about
- 1:34Speaker 3: these kinds of things. But seriously, if he had the money,
- 1:36Speaker 3: you just might do that. And like you said, I
- 1:39Speaker 3: mean things, kids have been rich for our entire life,
- 1:42Speaker 3: and it's you know, the new kid driving the sixteen
- 1:45Speaker 3: year old kid driving a really nice car to high school,
- 1:49Speaker 3: you know, and you looking around being like, man, I
- 1:51Speaker 3: wish I had that. I don't know why this is
- 1:53Speaker 3: a problem and everybody's metage just because they have access
- 1:55Speaker 3: to it. That would be my guess.
- 1:57Speaker 1: Dude's that's the best example is when I was in
- 1:59Speaker 1: highigh school, the crap my car was. And then the
- 2:02Speaker 1: cool kid who had the really cool car that his
- 2:05Speaker 1: parents bought him that he did nothing to again, like
- 2:07Speaker 1: there was nothing about that was that was, you know,
- 2:11Speaker 1: something that made me mad because he didn't deserve it
- 2:14Speaker 1: or so. I don't know, it's so funny, it's just life. Like,
- 2:17Speaker 1: that's a great lesson to learn at sixteen in life
- 2:19Speaker 1: that my stuff isn't the same as everybody else is,
- 2:22Speaker 1: and that's how life's going to be the whole time. Like,
- 2:24Speaker 1: I'm not going to be given something if I don't
- 2:27Speaker 1: have access to it, and someone else might and I
- 2:30Speaker 1: just have to get over that.
- 2:30Speaker 2: That's a me thing, not of them thing, I guess,
- 2:32Speaker 2: is what I'm saying.
- 2:33Speaker 3: Well, like you said, it's a perfect life lesson. It's
- 2:35Speaker 3: the perfect way to say that.
- 2:36Speaker 2: I mean, life is not.
- 2:37Speaker 3: Fair, it's just now going to be. And you can
- 2:41Speaker 3: look at that and maybe use it to inspire you.
- 2:43Speaker 3: I don't know, something like that just would have made
- 2:45Speaker 3: me jealous as a teenager. You know, I wouldn't look
- 2:47Speaker 3: at that and be like, yes, I want that someday,
- 2:49Speaker 3: because that's the kind of teenager I was. But you
- 2:52Speaker 3: can use that the further yourself in life. But at
- 2:55Speaker 3: the same time they don't expect anything. I mean, it's
- 2:57Speaker 3: just it's not fair.
- 2:58Speaker 2: That's life, ay man. All right.
- 3:00Speaker 1: By the way, I did forget something. I realized as
- 3:02Speaker 1: soon as the segment started that there was something that
- 3:04Speaker 1: had fallen out of my brain for some reason. We'd
- 3:06Speaker 1: have to do a Booer popcorn moment. So pause on this, Matt.
- 3:09Speaker 1: We'll get back to some of the sillier stuff in
- 3:10Speaker 1: a second. But I do have a popcorn moment available,
- 3:13Speaker 1: and it is brought to you by Boer Home Remodeling.
- 3:15Speaker 1: I go ahead and play that audio by Carlo if
- 3:17Speaker 1: you want to get Anna Navarro last night or a
- 3:22Speaker 1: couple nights ago. I think said something that was uniquely
- 3:24Speaker 1: unhinged and insane. And this certainly coming after you see
- 3:28Speaker 1: the video of Alex pretty kicking out the back of
- 3:31Speaker 1: lights of cop cars and spitting and yelling f words
- 3:35Speaker 1: at police officers. Bana Navara said, he's essentially the perfect man,
- 3:38Speaker 1: the man that everyone would want to grow up to be,
- 3:41Speaker 1: and everyone would want to grow up to date, which
- 3:43Speaker 1: is the left version of insanity. When they have to
- 3:47Speaker 1: prop up these figures that they make bigger than whoever
- 3:51Speaker 1: they actually are all the time, because it's never actually
- 3:54Speaker 1: about telling.
- 3:54Speaker 2: You the truth. It's always about fulfilling the narrative. But
- 3:57Speaker 2: here we go.
- 3:58Speaker 4: They chose to they killed the wrong guy, right, because
- 4:01Speaker 4: this is like the perfect guy. Alex pretty is the
- 4:05Speaker 4: guy you would want to date your daughter, the guy
- 4:08Speaker 4: you'd want your son to grow up to be a
- 4:10Speaker 4: decent human being, who was serving humanity, serving Wow, sick veterans.
- 4:16Speaker 4: Who is you know, there is nothing that has been
- 4:19Speaker 4: said about that man that isn't wonderful, And so they
- 4:22Speaker 4: can't malign him.
- 4:25Speaker 2: They can malign some of the ridiculous things he did.
- 4:28Speaker 1: His own parents were begging him to stop showing up
- 4:31Speaker 1: at these protests and these things with ice officers and
- 4:35Speaker 1: interacting with ice the way that he was doing it,
- 4:36Speaker 1: like yelling and screaming and spitting on them and stuff.
- 4:39Speaker 1: His own parents were begging him to stop doing that
- 4:41Speaker 1: because they thought it was a terrible idea. They thought
- 4:43Speaker 1: it was dangerous and it could result in something bad happening,
- 4:47Speaker 1: which is exactly what happened. So it's amazing to watch
- 4:50Speaker 1: Anna Navarro on CNN say what she says about this
- 4:53Speaker 1: situation and her perspective of it because the other thing,
- 4:56Speaker 1: I'll tell you, and this can go beyond politics, this
- 5:00Speaker 1: can be a macro observation in our society, the amount
- 5:04Speaker 1: of people who only understand the headline of something.
- 5:08Speaker 2: Is through the roof.
- 5:10Speaker 1: I think it's always sort of been a thing, but
- 5:12Speaker 1: it feels like it even more so is a thing now.
- 5:15Speaker 1: Like I very often find myself in arguments with people
- 5:19Speaker 1: where they don't know most of the details to the
- 5:21Speaker 1: thing they're talking about, and your brain starts to really
- 5:25Speaker 1: struggle with how you can be this deep into a
- 5:27Speaker 1: conversation with someone where they seem to really care about
- 5:30Speaker 1: a thing, Like the other thing is. It's not just
- 5:32Speaker 1: that you're having a conversation about a random topic that
- 5:35Speaker 1: they don't seem to care about. They seem to have
- 5:37Speaker 1: a very definitive opinion, They have a lot of things
- 5:40Speaker 1: they want to say, and yet very few actual facts
- 5:43Speaker 1: and pieces of information they know, and they don't care.
- 5:47Speaker 1: I think I've said it on this station before. I
- 5:49Speaker 1: filled in other places, and one of my favorite fill
- 5:52Speaker 1: in shifts that I did in Florida at a radio
- 5:55Speaker 1: station in Fort Myers was when a Democrat called the
- 5:57Speaker 1: station and kept refusing to go look information, and I
- 6:01Speaker 1: eventually said to the person, like, why why do you
- 6:03Speaker 1: not want to look this stuff up?
- 6:04Speaker 2: They're like, because I.
- 6:04Speaker 1: Don't want to know. I don't want to know. I
- 6:07Speaker 1: want my opinion to be whatever it is on anything.
- 6:10Speaker 1: It's the version of wanting to be the guy arguing
- 6:13Speaker 1: about sports in the bar who doesn't have the Internet
- 6:16Speaker 1: to tell him what he's right and wrong about. I
- 6:18Speaker 1: don't know, but it's just so funny to me that
- 6:20Speaker 1: and funny might not be the right word that so
- 6:23Speaker 1: few people actually want more details than whatever details they've
- 6:27Speaker 1: found already. They're like, this is my fill. It's like
- 6:30Speaker 1: we all have a gas tank of details, and once
- 6:32Speaker 1: you hit your full line of your details in your tank,
- 6:35Speaker 1: whatever it is based on. I think also, whatever the
- 6:39Speaker 1: narrative is that you already believe going in the confirmation
- 6:42Speaker 1: bias stuff going in, that once you're at full, you're
- 6:45Speaker 1: not going any further. You're done. I'm not going to
- 6:47Speaker 1: look anymore. I don't want to talk about this for
- 6:50Speaker 1: even one more second. It seems to be the case,
- 6:53Speaker 1: but that's just I don't know. To me, it's been
- 6:55Speaker 1: very amusing to watch that play out so often in
- 6:58Speaker 1: so many places, and I don't know why it is.
- 7:02Speaker 1: I know I'm just ranting now on the show, and
- 7:03Speaker 1: Matt feel free to chime in if you have any
- 7:05Speaker 1: thoughts on any of the things that I'm saying here.
- 7:08Speaker 1: But the one other thing that I keep thinking about
- 7:11Speaker 1: is we have so much media out there now, like
- 7:14Speaker 1: things that I don't even think you'd call media a
- 7:17Speaker 1: few years ago that now are media. The YouTube guy
- 7:20Speaker 1: who has the YouTube show with one hundred thousand viewers
- 7:23Speaker 1: on it, And so because of that separation of I
- 7:28Speaker 1: think just creation of these products, you have a whole
- 7:31Speaker 1: lot of people that know very little, a whole lot
- 7:33Speaker 1: of the Emperor has no clothes, that wind up having
- 7:37Speaker 1: a decent amount of influence and audience and saying things.
- 7:40Speaker 1: One of my favorites is every single time you hear
- 7:45Speaker 1: someone on ESPN or anywhere else.
- 7:47Speaker 2: Stephen A.
- 7:48Speaker 1: Smith, for example, totally gets something wrong in the world
- 7:51Speaker 1: of basic sports, like a name for a player that
- 7:54Speaker 1: he thinks on a team that's not there anymore, and
- 7:56Speaker 1: they don't care, like, ah, I'm too big for that.
- 7:58Speaker 1: This error might have heard a younger person. It's not
- 8:01Speaker 1: going to hurt me in my career because I'm just
- 8:03Speaker 1: going to move on to other things. But it does
- 8:05Speaker 1: seem like there's a whole lot less experts in unique
- 8:09Speaker 1: fields and a whole lot more opinion across the board
- 8:11Speaker 1: and everything for a whole lot of us out there.
- 8:14Speaker 1: That's at least my rant on this, anything you got
- 8:17Speaker 1: on that matter.
- 8:17Speaker 3: No, I mean, I'm just thinking when you just digest
- 8:19Speaker 3: a headline, you're not getting any context, and you're not
- 8:21Speaker 3: getting any history to anything, and you don't know the history.
- 8:24Speaker 3: But what you can do is immediately feel your angst, yes, anger,
- 8:31Speaker 3: and everything that you're upset about. I mean, that's that's
- 8:33Speaker 3: what the headline does for you. If that's all you're
- 8:35Speaker 3: looking for, that's all you're going to get. I mean,
- 8:37Speaker 3: history matters less and less today, and I don't want
- 8:41Speaker 3: to be so cynical or you know, but it does.
- 8:45Speaker 3: It just doesn't count right now. It feels like history context,
- 8:48Speaker 3: you know, in taking it is so effective, and people
- 8:51Speaker 3: know that it's so effective to take things out of
- 8:53Speaker 3: context because that's what people want. They want to hear
- 8:56Speaker 3: well what their narrative is. And so that's why we
- 9:00Speaker 3: clips out of context or not. We not us here
- 9:02Speaker 3: just in judging with the MSS decided up.
- 9:05Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, a whole lot of people do.
- 9:07Speaker 1: And the last thing I'll say is confirmation bias, which
- 9:09Speaker 1: is what you're saying is so strong. So many people
- 9:12Speaker 1: go into something like I know the answer to this,
- 9:14Speaker 1: I just need to see the moment where I think
- 9:16Speaker 1: my answer has been confirmed. And then once I got
- 9:18Speaker 1: the answer that I thought was the answer the whole time,
- 9:21Speaker 1: I'll close this screen that I'm looking at and never
- 9:23Speaker 1: look at it again because now I think that I'm right.
- 9:25Speaker 1: Now I know the correct information, and I don't need
- 9:28Speaker 1: to know anything that blows my narrative to pieces.
- 9:30Speaker 3: I've done that with medical information. As soon as WEBMB
- 9:33Speaker 3: tells me what I want, I'm not going to another
- 9:35Speaker 3: website because I feel good. I feel good about how
- 9:39Speaker 3: I'm feeling, and that's the man. So I'm guilty of that.
- 9:42Speaker 3: I will fully admit that I'm guilty. Okay, you get
- 9:44Speaker 3: the news you want to hear, and then you don't
- 9:46Speaker 3: want to hear anything else.
- 9:47Speaker 2: That's it. Yeah.
- 9:48Speaker 1: You know what's funny about that too, that you just
- 9:50Speaker 1: said that I have a coworker that is dealing with
- 9:52Speaker 1: a bit of a health thing.
- 9:54Speaker 2: I hope it's not that bad.
- 9:55Speaker 1: But he kept telling me the other people in the
- 9:58Speaker 1: office and what they thought his problem, And I kept
- 10:01Speaker 1: thinking in the back of my head, like, you should
- 10:02Speaker 1: probably check with a doctor, like you probably shouldn't check
- 10:05Speaker 1: with the other people we work with and getting their
- 10:07Speaker 1: opinion of stuff, like you should probably eventually go to
- 10:10Speaker 1: a medical professional and see how they feel about your situation.
- 10:13Speaker 2: But I think that's human nature, is.
- 10:15Speaker 1: You know, You're just like, well, the consensus at this
- 10:17Speaker 1: radio station is that I'm not really that sick, so
- 10:20Speaker 1: I'm probably fine. And it's like, well, that's that's great.
- 10:22Speaker 1: But none of us are at all medical people. None
- 10:25Speaker 1: of us know any of the things.
- 10:27Speaker 3: The Internet is not generally a great source for medical
- 10:30Speaker 3: information a general If you look at the Internet, it's like, oh,
- 10:32Speaker 3: I'm going to die, Yeah, yeah, I almost always.
- 10:35Speaker 1: I'm almost always going to die in twenty four hours,
- 10:37Speaker 1: which WebMD has never been right about that. I've always
- 10:39Speaker 1: made it through twenty period. All Right, I love this.
- 10:43Speaker 1: All right, we'll take a quick break, we'll come back.
- 10:45Speaker 1: We'll do marketplace correctly. I promise we'll do that.
