- 0:20Speaker 2: killing it stimulated. There, there you go. You start becoming
- 0:28Speaker 2: a gem. This is the Craig Cullin Show. Jesus, oh no, no,
- 0:34Speaker 2: don't talking talk this station as well, the ultimate power
- 0:38Speaker 2: in the universe. Your host's a good man, Craig. That's right.
- 0:43Speaker 1: This is the Craig Collins Show. My name is Craig Collins.
- 0:46Speaker 3: That is Brian Noonan, and I believe you'll be able
- 0:49Speaker 3: to talk noon and now, and I believe that you
- 0:51Speaker 3: can also hear me.
- 0:51Speaker 2: Is that correct? That's even better than if the people
- 0:54Speaker 2: of Houston can hear us.
- 0:55Speaker 1: Oh, retreat, everybody can hear us. Now, everything's going great.
- 1:00Speaker 2: That's great.
- 1:00Speaker 3: Yes, this is wonderful and exciting and I'm thrilled to
- 1:03Speaker 3: be here. So many things to talk about. You and
- 1:06Speaker 3: I pitch a show that we have developed together, either
- 1:09Speaker 3: as a podcast or something in which we don't agree
- 1:12Speaker 3: on a lot of politics, but we are friends and
- 1:14Speaker 3: we've liked each other for a long time and we
- 1:16Speaker 3: work together for a long time.
- 1:18Speaker 1: So the pitch is that we can disagree on stuff
- 1:20Speaker 1: and not hate each other.
- 1:22Speaker 2: Well, that's how that's how things are supposed to be. Right.
- 1:24Speaker 2: We can, we can.
- 1:25Speaker 4: Debate, we can have serious disagreements about politics or or whatever,
- 1:32Speaker 4: it could be whatever, and then you know, at the
- 1:35Speaker 4: end of the day, we all have to we all
- 1:38Speaker 4: have to find some way to exist together. So somehow,
- 1:41Speaker 4: I know that sounds naive, doesn't It sounds very naive.
- 1:44Speaker 4: It does, and yet it shouldn't right. It shouldn't at
- 1:48Speaker 4: all sound the way that it shouldn't, but it does.
- 1:52Speaker 4: But well, we endeavor to prove that it is not
- 1:54Speaker 4: pie in the sky. We that it can actually happen.
- 1:58Speaker 2: So that's it.
- 1:59Speaker 4: I'm listen of all congratulations that tropical Storm Bertha did
- 2:03Speaker 4: not wipe out Houston.
- 2:04Speaker 2: I was very excited to see it. I was thinking,
- 2:07Speaker 2: but could this could be rough?
- 2:09Speaker 4: I'm watching the map, I'm hearing all the weather people
- 2:11Speaker 4: screaming and yelling, oh it's coming, and I thought it
- 2:14Speaker 4: believe Yeah no, But thankfully you guys didn't get too much.
- 2:17Speaker 1: Yeah no, thankfully it's been okay so far.
- 2:19Speaker 3: It's funny that you started with that, though, because we
- 2:22Speaker 3: did get some phone calls when I was filling in
- 2:23Speaker 3: on the last show, saying that, like, there's some heavy
- 2:25Speaker 3: rain in some spots, and this is my first Houston
- 2:28Speaker 3: experience where the thing that came here has a name,
- 2:33Speaker 3: Like I don't think I was here for any names
- 2:34Speaker 3: last year, and I certainly didn't live here when horrible
- 2:38Speaker 3: stuff happened subset of years ago.
- 2:40Speaker 1: So like for me, this is then my wife was
- 2:43Speaker 1: freaking out about for sure.
- 2:46Speaker 2: Okay, I like that.
- 2:46Speaker 3: You say, See, the husband has a job, and the
- 2:50Speaker 3: job is every time the wife freaks out, you calm
- 2:52Speaker 3: or down. It doesn't matter if you're actually also potentially
- 2:57Speaker 3: you know, afraid of something.
- 2:58Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't admit it.
- 3:00Speaker 2: Go ahead, no, you you're absolutely right. And I remember
- 3:03Speaker 2: my daughter went to college in New.
- 3:05Speaker 4: Orleans and I was on the phone with her as
- 3:07Speaker 4: a hurricane literally passed over her house where it was.
- 3:12Speaker 2: Things were crazy with the storm.
- 3:14Speaker 4: Then the I passed and I'm like inside, I'm like,
- 3:18Speaker 4: oh my god, my daughter's gonna be swept into the
- 3:20Speaker 4: skies like the Wizard of Oz. The things are but
- 3:23Speaker 4: on the surface. I had to remain calm and steady
- 3:26Speaker 4: and everything's gonna be okay. Did you make sure you're
- 3:29Speaker 4: you're in a safe room and blah blah blah.
- 3:31Speaker 3: And in the meeting, I'm like, yeah, no, that happens.
- 3:36Speaker 3: And so she's like, you know, this has a name,
- 3:37Speaker 3: doesn't that mean it's bad? And I was like, yeah,
- 3:40Speaker 3: it usually does mean that it's kind of bad. It's
- 3:44Speaker 3: prefix makes it the worst, Like tropical storm. Yeah, that's
- 3:48Speaker 3: serious hurricane.
- 3:50Speaker 2: Then you pay. Then then you're like batting down the hatches.
- 3:53Speaker 3: Now, fantastic points there. You're right, hurricane is a much
- 3:56Speaker 3: worse thing. And luckily that's not what's occurring here.
- 3:58Speaker 1: So we're fine.
- 3:59Speaker 4: No, but tropical storm is nothing to mess around with.
- 4:03Speaker 4: So I'm glad things are.
- 4:04Speaker 1: Yeah, they're good.
- 4:05Speaker 3: When and if that happens, like we have she has
- 4:07Speaker 3: family in Dallas, we'd go somewhere and hopefully the thing
- 4:11Speaker 3: we live in doesn't get blown to pieces. That's that's
- 4:13Speaker 3: all you do in the world, when you live in
- 4:15Speaker 3: a place where you can get Yeah, right, okay, there's.
- 4:17Speaker 4: No I mean, I'm in Tornado Alley. Do we get
- 4:21Speaker 4: tornadoes around here all the time? And I know you
- 4:23Speaker 4: get them in Texas too, but you just kind of
- 4:26Speaker 4: you hope for the best and you you know, you know,
- 4:28Speaker 4: the odds are really kind of in my favor that
- 4:30Speaker 4: nothing's gonna happen. But I'm a horrible gambler.
- 4:34Speaker 2: Okay.
- 4:34Speaker 3: I love that you just said that that way, because
- 4:36Speaker 3: that's what I think about all the time, Like, yeah,
- 4:38Speaker 3: there's you gotta be a chance.
- 4:39Speaker 1: I'm fine, Like why would I be afraid?
- 4:41Speaker 3: I'm probably the guy who would stay longer than I'm
- 4:45Speaker 3: supposed to. I think I would eventually give up. I'm
- 4:47Speaker 3: not gonna be the guy that's here when like evidently
- 4:50Speaker 3: the danger was at.
- 4:51Speaker 2: The like the you know, you're not gonna have to
- 4:54Speaker 2: pick you up off the roof.
- 4:55Speaker 3: I don't think so, although I don't know, because I
- 4:58Speaker 3: would stay pretty close to that long.
- 5:00Speaker 2: Is it going to depend on what bet you've placed
- 5:02Speaker 2: on Calshi?
- 5:05Speaker 1: Yeah, how many people have to get rescued from Houston?
- 5:08Speaker 3: If it's over five, I gotta stay until we get
- 5:10Speaker 3: the five exactly, and then I can go. I love
- 5:13Speaker 3: that as a joke, but now, man like part of me,
- 5:15Speaker 3: part of me thinks that in those moments, like even
- 5:19Speaker 3: the people at stay, like some of them don't get
- 5:21Speaker 3: hit that hard, you still make it. You're still okay
- 5:23Speaker 3: and and I here, I'm gonna use this excuse which
- 5:26Speaker 3: you'll pretend is true, which will be nice to you.
- 5:29Speaker 3: Since I'm a radio guy, part of me thinks, maybe
- 5:31Speaker 3: I'm needed, Maybe I'm maybe I have to go to
- 5:33Speaker 3: the station. Maybe I can't leave because I got to
- 5:35Speaker 3: tell the people about the bad thing. Well that, I mean,
- 5:38Speaker 3: there's a good point to that, because we are in radio.
- 5:43Speaker 2: What people turn to.
- 5:45Speaker 4: Here's my only problem, all right, and it's when when
- 5:48Speaker 4: every governmental and law enforcement agency says you have to
- 5:53Speaker 4: go because we can't come get you. Yeah, there's no
- 5:56Speaker 4: way we can put our first responders in danger. You're
- 6:01Speaker 4: not gonna be okay, this is gonna be bad. And
- 6:04Speaker 4: people go, what do they know? They know more than
- 6:07Speaker 4: we do, That's what. That's how much they know. They
- 6:09Speaker 4: know more than we do.
- 6:10Speaker 1: We know a lot more, I think, Yeah, And then
- 6:13Speaker 1: you end up you end up.
- 6:14Speaker 4: On the news because some helicopter is you're trying to
- 6:17Speaker 4: hand your dog up to a Coastguard pilot and he's like,
- 6:20Speaker 4: you're an idiot.
- 6:21Speaker 2: You could have left. We could. It's like that old joke.
- 6:24Speaker 4: About you know, somebody praying and then they prayed, and
- 6:28Speaker 4: then the boat came and they said no, God's gonna
- 6:30Speaker 4: help me, and blah blah blah, and then they die
- 6:32Speaker 4: and they go up and he goes, I shay you
- 6:34Speaker 4: three three times.
- 6:35Speaker 1: I love this.
- 6:36Speaker 2: I love that. Yeah.
- 6:36Speaker 3: He's like, I said, you two boats and a priest
- 6:38Speaker 3: and they're like, yeah, well you know it doesn't matter. Yeah,
- 6:40Speaker 3: all right, so a couple things. Let's talk about a
- 6:43Speaker 3: couple of things. And actually, you were on the show
- 6:46Speaker 3: for the first time last Thursday, and we plan to
- 6:49Speaker 3: do this every single Thursday, and we're gonna have discussions
- 6:51Speaker 3: about stuff that matters, and listeners will have all kinds
- 6:54Speaker 3: of reactions to the things we say. And some may
- 6:56Speaker 3: hate you, but hopefully they don't because you're a very
- 6:59Speaker 3: likable guy.
- 7:00Speaker 2: I well, listen, I hope they don't. Again, right, I.
- 7:04Speaker 4: Don't hate anybody who has a different thought process than me.
- 7:07Speaker 4: I might disagree with you. I'm also arrogant, or not
- 7:10Speaker 4: arrogant enough to think I'm gonna change people's minds.
- 7:13Speaker 2: I'm just gonna state. I'm gonna state my opinion if something.
- 7:16Speaker 4: If something resonates with you, cool, If something doesn't resonate
- 7:20Speaker 4: with you, okay.
- 7:21Speaker 3: At them, you know, and you're not gonna change my
- 7:23Speaker 3: mind now, But I wanted to let the listeners in
- 7:26Speaker 3: on one thing. After the first show, you and I talked,
- 7:29Speaker 3: and one thing we both acknowledge is we gotta remember
- 7:31Speaker 3: that we're like humans and we talk about human stuff.
- 7:35Speaker 3: So even though this will feel like it's the wrong
- 7:39Speaker 3: time for this, we're gonna do the silly stuff first
- 7:41Speaker 3: today so that we actually do have a conversation about
- 7:43Speaker 3: the stuff that I think you and I will have
- 7:45Speaker 3: fun with. And then the serious stuff will get to
- 7:48Speaker 3: in a bit and I'll tell you why. And some
- 7:50Speaker 3: of this I didn't prep you at all, fort Noon
- 7:52Speaker 3: at all. It was mean, but I think you're fine.
- 7:55Speaker 1: It's all right.
- 7:55Speaker 2: Listen, I roll with the punches. I'll just start making
- 7:58Speaker 2: weird sounds. That'll be great too. Crazy.
- 8:00Speaker 3: Well, so there's one story that I saw that I
- 8:03Speaker 3: was uniquely amused by. Well there's two, actually, because there's
- 8:05Speaker 3: one from earlier this week, but one from today. People
- 8:08Speaker 3: are obsessed with something that's being called toilet shoes, and
- 8:11Speaker 3: I kind of wanted Noonan's reaction to it. Toilet shoes
- 8:15Speaker 3: are a brand of product. They're being sold by a
- 8:18Speaker 3: company that I think also has a crazy name. But
- 8:22Speaker 3: the company, Yeah, take letloose dot com is the place
- 8:26Speaker 3: where you can do this. You can buy these their
- 8:28Speaker 3: giant flip flop like high heel things. It's like a
- 8:32Speaker 3: squatty potty, but you put one on each foot.
- 8:35Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I saw those.
- 8:38Speaker 4: Yeah, and they're wild to a Saturday night fever watching
- 8:42Speaker 4: that in the seventies disco movement. I would wear them
- 8:45Speaker 4: if they had the Remember the ones with the acrylic
- 8:48Speaker 4: soles that had to carry them in the sole of
- 8:50Speaker 4: the shoes.
- 8:50Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, that's how I would want my If you.
- 8:52Speaker 4: Need stop, okay, just just stop at the toilet shoes.
- 8:57Speaker 4: So the reaction is no across the board to this,
- 9:00Speaker 4: Oh it's stupid. What are you gonna All I picture
- 9:04Speaker 4: is Peewee Herman dancing on top of the bar. Sure,
- 9:07Speaker 4: and you know, I want to hear tequila playing as
- 9:10Speaker 4: I'm trying to, you know, take care of my business,
- 9:13Speaker 4: which is it's ridiculous. Okay, do you now do you
- 9:17Speaker 4: have a squatty potty? Are you investing in toilet shoes?
- 9:20Speaker 4: What's going on down there?
- 9:21Speaker 3: Well, that's a great question you asked, because I am
- 9:23Speaker 3: going to take the counter in this position, I am
- 9:25Speaker 3: going to go the opposite road. And here's the problem
- 9:28Speaker 3: with the ridiculous shoes that people like is they'd be
- 9:30Speaker 3: incredibly embarrassing for someone to see if they came over
- 9:34Speaker 3: to your house and use the bathroom, Like if someone
- 9:36Speaker 3: goes in and they see these giant flip flop high heels,
- 9:39Speaker 3: And it'd be even funnier if there were fishing them
- 9:41Speaker 3: that you'll potentially use in the bathroom. But here's the
- 9:44Speaker 3: part where I can understand what's happening, and it is
- 9:47Speaker 3: the squatty potty part. And I know this is a
- 9:49Speaker 3: bit of a gross conversation to have on the air.
- 9:52Speaker 2: Yeah, enjoy your dinner.
- 9:52Speaker 3: For at a different radio station, there was a news
- 9:57Speaker 3: guy who brought a squatty potty to work and actually
- 10:00Speaker 3: worked there.
- 10:00Speaker 1: I worked there remotely.
- 10:01Speaker 3: The people might be able to figure out what station
- 10:03Speaker 3: it is, and a lot of people made fun of him,
- 10:05Speaker 3: but he was very happy with the health benefits of
- 10:08Speaker 3: the He would take it back and forth.
- 10:09Speaker 1: No, he just left it there.
- 10:10Speaker 3: It was in one of the bathrooms at the radio station,
- 10:13Speaker 3: and everybody knew it was his, and he just left
- 10:15Speaker 3: it there and used it when he needed it. Because
- 10:18Speaker 3: of that discussion on the air. I then tried out
- 10:20Speaker 3: one and they're great. Let's let's just be honest.
- 10:24Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't physics.
- 10:27Speaker 4: I understand the methodology and that that's okay because that
- 10:31Speaker 4: seems like something that you just leave down at the
- 10:33Speaker 4: bottom of your toilet there.
- 10:35Speaker 1: He just wow, misses.
- 10:38Speaker 2: What are you gonna do with the shoes?
- 10:39Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 10:40Speaker 1: I just find those.
- 10:41Speaker 2: Do you like kicking your little feet up like you're Jathan? Sure?
- 10:45Speaker 1: It adds another element to it. I don't know.
- 10:47Speaker 3: My wife has house shoes because she's a take your
- 10:50Speaker 3: shoes off at the door person, so I kind of
- 10:52Speaker 3: think it'd be funny to get her toilet shoes and
- 10:55Speaker 3: those are taking the shoes off and switch at the toilet,
- 10:58Speaker 3: and I doubt she'll like them at all.
- 10:59Speaker 2: But I don't know. All right, But here's the question.
- 11:02Speaker 4: If your wife does not like outside shoes in the house,
- 11:06Speaker 4: and there are a lot of people like that. I
- 11:08Speaker 4: am not one of them, sure, but there's a lot
- 11:09Speaker 4: of people like that, how would she feel about shoes
- 11:12Speaker 4: that were exclusively for the toilet walking into the kitchen
- 11:16Speaker 4: to make, you know, breakfast?
- 11:17Speaker 1: She would not feel good about?
- 11:19Speaker 6: Who would?
- 11:20Speaker 7: Right?
- 11:21Speaker 3: The nice thing about these shoes, the ones that went viral,
- 11:23Speaker 3: is they seem too hard to walk it like they do,
- 11:25Speaker 3: seem like the kind of thing you couldn't walk over,
- 11:27Speaker 3: Like you're only going to be sitting down when you're
- 11:29Speaker 3: putting these on your feet.
- 11:31Speaker 1: But anyway, that's that's one story I found out there.
- 11:34Speaker 4: I know, I said, go ahead, can we stay in
- 11:36Speaker 4: that area of the body for a minute, your feet,
- 11:39Speaker 4: because I was very excited. The war is over, Craig,
- 11:42Speaker 4: The war between gen Zs and Millennials over sock length
- 11:46Speaker 4: is finally come to the truth, with the gen z
- 11:49Speaker 4: Ers saying that maybe Millennials had it right all the time.
- 11:52Speaker 4: I didn't know this was a things, but I always
- 11:56Speaker 4: wear with no show socks.
- 11:59Speaker 2: I hate socks.
- 12:00Speaker 4: I like them when I'm getting dressed, you know, with
- 12:02Speaker 4: a suit and stuff. I like some jay Z socks,
- 12:04Speaker 4: but normally no show socks. And I guess that was
- 12:09Speaker 4: all the gen Zers hated that. They thought, how dare
- 12:13Speaker 4: they show ankles? You can tell how they used to?
- 12:15Speaker 4: They said, you can tell how old a person is
- 12:17Speaker 4: by how short their socks are. So I am probably
- 12:21Speaker 4: I should be dead quite frankly, according to the gen
- 12:23Speaker 4: Z But now an article came out today that said, no,
- 12:29Speaker 4: the gen Zers have now said that ankle socks or
- 12:33Speaker 4: no show socks are okay for numerous reasons. And in
- 12:39Speaker 4: a day and age where we have so much serious
- 12:42Speaker 4: stuff to worry about it we're talking about young people
- 12:44Speaker 4: becoming more involved in the political process and and trying
- 12:48Speaker 4: to be part of the society and maybe be the
- 12:52Speaker 4: the remedy of all our problems.
- 12:54Speaker 2: This is what they're focused on.
- 12:57Speaker 1: At times. They're not the remedy, by the way, they're
- 12:59Speaker 1: the r No, not at all.
- 13:01Speaker 4: It still shows and listen, I was a young person
- 13:04Speaker 4: once I was stupid. I was also young people are stupid.
- 13:07Speaker 3: They are and and it also no offense to Phil
- 13:10Speaker 3: by the way, our twenty something producer probably didn't like that.
- 13:12Speaker 4: Take no offense to film. There no shade, no shaded
- 13:17Speaker 4: Phil or anybody else. It's just it's one of the
- 13:19Speaker 4: good reality we all we all kind of grow up.
- 13:23Speaker 4: And it also proves Craig, like you're like your Yankees
- 13:26Speaker 4: hat which you have worn for decades, I have one
- 13:28Speaker 4: day that's coming back into style, just like my no
- 13:31Speaker 4: show socks are back in style. That's why, like you
- 13:35Speaker 4: and I have picked lanes when it comes to our
- 13:36Speaker 4: look and our fashion, it's true. And we if we're
- 13:39Speaker 4: just patient enough to wait it out, soon we're gonna
- 13:42Speaker 4: be the hippest cats on the block.
- 13:43Speaker 3: You know what's so funny about you talking about the
- 13:45Speaker 3: socks real quick is I bought the longer socks. I'm
- 13:48Speaker 3: a millennial and I was trying to embrace the stuff
- 13:51Speaker 3: that the gen zers were saying. So I got the
- 13:53Speaker 3: longer socks. And my wife hates the longer ones. She
- 13:56Speaker 3: thinks they look dumb. She especially if you go shorts,
- 13:59Speaker 3: which in Houston for half of the year, if you
- 14:01Speaker 3: don't go shorts, you will also die. That won't be
- 14:04Speaker 3: a sock thing, you just so, Yeah, she thinks they
- 14:05Speaker 3: look real stupid. And I have them, and now I
- 14:07Speaker 3: don't wear them because I like the short ones too.
- 14:10Speaker 3: And this is a crazy thing that people are fighting
- 14:12Speaker 3: about in the world. Yeah, go ahead, Yeah.
- 14:14Speaker 2: No, I'm agreeing with you. It is a crazy thing
- 14:17Speaker 2: that people are fighting about.
- 14:18Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, I saw another story on the list of
- 14:20Speaker 3: topics that you sent me that I also really want
- 14:23Speaker 3: to talk about before we take a break, and part
- 14:26Speaker 3: of it I'm just gonna read part of it I'm
- 14:27Speaker 3: gonna let you set it up.
- 14:28Speaker 1: Human refrigerator. So I don't know what that is, but
- 14:33Speaker 1: I want to know.
- 14:34Speaker 4: Well, again, I don't like to I don't like to
- 14:37Speaker 4: judge other people's culture.
- 14:39Speaker 1: Now that's not my thing, right, I understand it, I
- 14:41Speaker 1: get it.
- 14:41Speaker 4: But I think we can all agree that there are
- 14:44Speaker 4: some unique things in Japan that don't really we don't
- 14:49Speaker 4: get it. Certain vending machines. Yeah, they're a fixation with
- 14:52Speaker 4: anime and hello kitty. Well, it's been very hot in
- 14:56Speaker 4: Japan lately. I don't know if you know this. We
- 14:58Speaker 4: have a heat dome over most of the con here. Oh,
- 15:00Speaker 4: it's been very, very hot in Japan. So people are
- 15:04Speaker 4: people are upset. So how do they fix it?
- 15:06Speaker 2: You know?
- 15:07Speaker 4: They they've they invented those little pods that you could
- 15:09Speaker 4: sleep in at the train stations and stuff. Well, now
- 15:12Speaker 4: they've got human refrigerators. It's the size of a Japanese
- 15:16Speaker 4: vending machine. It could fit one person at a time.
- 15:19Speaker 4: So inside the box, it's fifty nine degrees. You go inside,
- 15:23Speaker 4: cold air is blasted on your head, neck, shoulders and back.
- 15:28Speaker 4: And it's developed by a vending machine and refrigeration company,
- 15:32Speaker 4: and so it said, the boxes can help relieve symptoms
- 15:34Speaker 4: of exhaustion.
- 15:36Speaker 3: That sounds incredible. I know that it's been hot everywhere
- 15:39Speaker 3: in the United States. It's ridiculously hot in Texas right now.
- 15:43Speaker 3: I think we had like one hundred and twenty degree
- 15:45Speaker 3: day noon in which just seems wrong.
- 15:47Speaker 2: That just that is wrong. That's yeah, that's ever. Sorry,
- 15:52Speaker 2: that's all. I'm sorry.
- 15:54Speaker 1: You every little bit help, so I appreciate that.
- 15:56Speaker 3: But no, it's funny because the minute you talked about
- 15:59Speaker 3: this and I saw this come in like, I want
- 16:01Speaker 3: one so bad. And the funny thing is the wife
- 16:05Speaker 3: would hate if this got dropped off in front of
- 16:08Speaker 3: our house.
- 16:09Speaker 1: A box that I can step into be.
- 16:10Speaker 4: Cold for Do you have air conditioning? We do, but
- 16:14Speaker 4: my house is this box. But if you put them
- 16:16Speaker 4: in public, like I could see its cooler. Do you
- 16:19Speaker 4: put them outside? Maybe you charge you know, ten bucks
- 16:23Speaker 4: for five minutes or whatever, but you'd have to have
- 16:24Speaker 4: a glass on all sides, sure, of course, cause you
- 16:27Speaker 4: know there'd be some freaks stripping down in there. They'd
- 16:30Speaker 4: been doing all kinds of stuff. You get guys just
- 16:32Speaker 4: in there in their stetson's, in their boots, nothing else.
- 16:36Speaker 5: Uh.
- 16:36Speaker 2: And then then the whole Oh yeah, I.
- 16:38Speaker 3: Was gonna respond to you saying, don't I have air
- 16:40Speaker 3: conditioning because I'm married to a Mexican noon And well
- 16:43Speaker 3: what that means is that sometimes she thinks that we're
- 16:48Speaker 3: not hot, and I think we are hot at a
- 16:50Speaker 3: certain temperature. And since I'm the man, I lose that
- 16:53Speaker 3: argument and I am told I'm in fact wrong, I
- 16:56Speaker 3: am not hot, And then I have.
- 16:58Speaker 4: A baseline I'm sure that usually triggers this. Yeah, it's
- 17:02Speaker 4: in the huh, what's that ninety seven? Yeah, right, eighty five. No,
- 17:07Speaker 4: it's it's in the upper seventies. She's like seventy seven,
- 17:11Speaker 4: seventy eight, seventy nine in the house. That's way too
- 17:13Speaker 4: hot for me. That's that's too hot to go to sleep.
- 17:15Speaker 4: I want seventy two, seventy one, sixty eight, Like those
- 17:19Speaker 4: are the temperatures.
- 17:20Speaker 2: I like, and so I think, and there's a nice breeze. Yeah.
- 17:24Speaker 3: Now, so this seems like a great solution to a
- 17:27Speaker 3: problem that you didn't know existed in my life. That
- 17:30Speaker 3: my wife would get very mad about the moment she
- 17:32Speaker 3: sees it and out inside the front door.
- 17:34Speaker 4: But who I think it would be great because every
- 17:36Speaker 4: night you would look like Hans Solo going into your
- 17:39Speaker 4: carbon night chamber.
- 17:40Speaker 2: You know, chill for a little bit.
- 17:42Speaker 3: I know we got to take a break, but I'll
- 17:43Speaker 3: say this before we take a break. The thing she
- 17:45Speaker 3: would love most about it if it was like air sealed,
- 17:48Speaker 3: is she wouldn't hear me snoring anymore.
- 17:50Speaker 1: I might not be able to breathe and I might
- 17:52Speaker 1: not make it out.
- 17:53Speaker 3: But I think she would be, you know, potentially convinced
- 17:56Speaker 3: it's a good idea if she thought that the snoring
- 17:58Speaker 3: would go away.
- 17:59Speaker 2: I think I liked it. Now you've laid it out
- 18:01Speaker 2: like a casket.
- 18:03Speaker 1: Yeah, of course you're sleep man, stay in there.
- 18:05Speaker 2: Call okay, I like it.
- 18:06Speaker 3: I'm going to sleep in the refrigerator box. All right,
- 18:08Speaker 3: We're gonna take a break. A lot coming up Collins
- 18:11Speaker 3: and Noonan is what we call this show. He is
- 18:13Speaker 3: Brian Noonan. I am Craig Collins. We like to have
- 18:17Speaker 3: fun and then we also do talk about serious stuff.
- 18:19Speaker 3: So coming up after the break, we're going to talk
- 18:21Speaker 3: about data centers, which for some reason are an obsession
- 18:24Speaker 3: of a topic.
- 18:25Speaker 1: A whole lot of places, some of which I get,
- 18:27Speaker 1: some of which I don't.
- 18:28Speaker 3: And then also and I don't think you've seen it,
- 18:31Speaker 3: but I wanted to ask you about some of the
- 18:32Speaker 3: reactions to the Odyssey. I don't know if you've seen
- 18:35Speaker 3: any of that out there, noon In boy have okay?
- 18:37Speaker 3: And have you seen the movie itself or now I
- 18:38Speaker 3: have not? Okay, I haven't. There are some prominent conservatives
- 18:42Speaker 3: who are defending the movie, which seems to be surprising
- 18:45Speaker 3: some other prominent conservatives.
- 18:47Speaker 1: So we're going to talk about that and a couple
- 18:48Speaker 1: other things and just a bit.
- 18:50Speaker 3: This is the Craig Collins Show, but on Thursdays we
- 18:53Speaker 3: also call it Collins and Noonan on KSV seven hundred,
- 18:56Speaker 3: The Voice of Texas.
- 18:58Speaker 7: If life is a game to be one, then every
- 19:01Speaker 7: child deserves to play on a level field to unlock
- 19:04Speaker 7: their full potential and thrive. Children International is empowering young
- 19:09Speaker 7: people in poverty on their journey. We're working alongside partners
- 19:13Speaker 7: and communities in ten countries to give children in youth
- 19:16Speaker 7: the tools, the training, and the skills to build confidence,
- 19:21Speaker 7: shape their futures and win in life. This journey of
- 19:25Speaker 7: hope begins in the early days of development and continues
- 19:29Speaker 7: through all stages of growth and into employment. We invest
- 19:32Speaker 7: in children and youth so they can achieve their goals.
- 19:36Speaker 7: And it's a game changer for children, their families and
- 19:40Speaker 7: their entire communities. This is how together we can help
- 19:45Speaker 7: end poverty for good. Join the journey at children dot
- 19:49Speaker 7: org today.
- 19:56Speaker 8: Where does your generosity to mercy ships go? To a
- 20:00Speaker 8: small village in Sierra Leone, to the eyes of a mother,
- 20:04Speaker 8: To an operating room, the healing, the anxious weight, until
- 20:09Speaker 8: finally a beautiful smile. To a port in Madagascar, into
- 20:16Speaker 8: the hands of a surgeon, to the eyes of the
- 20:19Speaker 8: MRI technician, the scalpel, the monitor, the post off, and
- 20:23Speaker 8: finally a mirror, a tumor removed, replaced by tears of joy.
- 20:31Speaker 8: To a small fishing village in Africa, to the hopes
- 20:34Speaker 8: of a boy, to his dreams of playing soccer, to
- 20:38Speaker 8: the hands of a surgeon, the long recovery, until one
- 20:42Speaker 8: day the joy of finely being part of the team.
- 20:46Speaker 8: Where does your generosity go? Wherever mercy does.
- 20:56Speaker 9: For seventy years, the Humane Society of the United Slats
- 21:00Speaker 9: States has worked to end animal cruelty. Now we're continuing
- 21:05Speaker 9: that mission as Humane World for Animals. We're working around
- 21:09Speaker 9: the globe to care for animals who are suffering today,
- 21:14Speaker 9: and we tackle the root causes of cruelty for our
- 21:17Speaker 9: kinder tomorrow. We bring big ideas, bold action, knowing that
- 21:22Speaker 9: together we can make the difference.
- 21:27Speaker 2: We're building as.

- 21:33Speaker 9: farmed animals no longer suffering, and no animals are used
- 21:38Speaker 9: in experiments, where our companions are cared for throughout their lives.
- 21:44Speaker 9: We are humane world for animals, driving global change for
- 21:48Speaker 9: the end of animal cruelty. Help make change for animals.

- 21:55Speaker 3: This is seven hundred KSV the Voice of Taxes, and
- 22:00Speaker 3: we're calling this the Collins and Noon and Show. The
- 22:03Speaker 3: Craig Collins Show, which is also in this time slot
- 22:05Speaker 3: kind of takes a break on Thursdays.
- 22:07Speaker 1: To the Collins and Noonon Show.
- 22:08Speaker 3: I'm Craig Collins, He's Brian Noonan thrilled to have you
- 22:11Speaker 3: with us, buddy, and a bunch of stuff.
- 22:14Speaker 1: To talk about.
- 22:15Speaker 3: We are going to talk about some serious things and
- 22:17Speaker 3: then probably get back to some silly stuff because I
- 22:19Speaker 3: think that sounds better. A couple of them data centers,
- 22:23Speaker 3: giant debate point not just in Texas, but so many places.
- 22:27Speaker 1: Noon and how do you want to handle this? Where
- 22:29Speaker 1: do you want to go on this topic?
- 22:32Speaker 4: So are they just pulled the plug on one in
- 22:34Speaker 4: East Texas? Because everybody, everybody is concerned about this. This
- 22:39Speaker 4: one was going to be near the supplies in Henderson County.
- 22:47Speaker 4: It's supplies water for the Fort Worth area all that.
- 22:49Speaker 4: So anyway, I think we all need to pump the
- 22:53Speaker 4: brakes on data centers everywhere. That's been when I was
- 22:56Speaker 4: working in Wisconsin. It's a huge thing there in Illinois.
- 23:01Speaker 4: It's a lot, like you said, everywhere, and we're moving
- 23:06Speaker 4: too fast. We're moving too fast on this because we
- 23:09Speaker 4: don't know what the effects are going to be. The
- 23:12Speaker 4: so far, the worries about higher utility bills, the worries
- 23:16Speaker 4: about using too much water, all of those are proving
- 23:19Speaker 4: to be correct.
- 23:21Speaker 2: And this one was going to be right in the
- 23:23Speaker 2: middle of like a subdivision basically.
- 23:27Speaker 4: So besides the noise that you you want that right
- 23:29Speaker 4: down the block from you, probably you want to use
- 23:31Speaker 4: in up all your water, You want to pay more
- 23:33Speaker 4: for your electric bills and all this, and the I
- 23:36Speaker 4: don't know how it is in Houston, but I know
- 23:40Speaker 4: in Wisconsin and in other places a lot of the
- 23:44Speaker 4: power companies had sweetheart deals with these with the local governments,
- 23:50Speaker 4: so they would when they were doing like site surveys
- 23:54Speaker 4: and doing all the research on this, it didn't say
- 23:57Speaker 4: it's for a data center. It was for some sort
- 23:59Speaker 4: of other de development, and people weren't getting a chance
- 24:02Speaker 4: to vote on this or weren't getting the full the
- 24:04Speaker 4: full story.
- 24:05Speaker 1: So I am not I am not a fan. Yeah,
- 24:09Speaker 1: I understand. So here's my reaction to this story.
- 24:12Speaker 3: In a lot of places, I've actually talked about it
- 24:14Speaker 3: in Indianapolis when filling in on a station there about
- 24:17Speaker 3: indian I've talked about it here in Texas. I like
- 24:21Speaker 3: one aspect of what they're doing here in Texas, and
- 24:24Speaker 3: the rule is that if you build the data center,
- 24:26Speaker 3: you've got to power it yourself, which essentially means you've
- 24:29Speaker 3: got to figure out how to get more power into
- 24:31Speaker 3: our grid, which Texas really.
- 24:32Speaker 1: Likes and wants.
- 24:34Speaker 2: Yeah, we needs and needs.
- 24:36Speaker 3: So yeah, if you if you pump power in and
- 24:38Speaker 3: don't take it out, we can deal with the other
- 24:40Speaker 3: other effects I've said data center. The thing about this
- 24:44Speaker 3: to me, though, is it's going to happen like this
- 24:47Speaker 3: is the thing I've said in some other places. Then
- 24:50Speaker 3: I do believe here we use AI so much already,
- 24:54Speaker 3: and so many of these centers are are targeting a
- 24:56Speaker 3: bunch of you know, lifting up of capabilities so that
- 24:59Speaker 3: the computer can do more. In the world of AI,
- 25:01Speaker 3: that there probably is not a scenario where it doesn't happen.
- 25:06Speaker 3: And so I appreciate anybody who says in my community,
- 25:09Speaker 3: I don't want to see it. It would ruin this,
- 25:11Speaker 3: it would ruin that, whatever. But I think it's it's inevitable,
- 25:15Speaker 3: and so my usual reaction is for the communities that
- 25:18Speaker 3: shout it down is you're probably losing something. I know
- 25:22Speaker 3: that the Houston Chronicle, which a lot of people call
- 25:24Speaker 3: the the Houston Comical because they say that it's very lefty,
- 25:27Speaker 3: and it is, they did a study about the benefits
- 25:30Speaker 3: of a data center in an area, and it does
- 25:33Speaker 3: lift wages, job opportunities.
- 25:37Speaker 1: It does a lot of things. It does them a
- 25:39Speaker 1: little slower go ahead, It lifts.
- 25:41Speaker 4: The job opportunities during construction. Oh and once those things
- 25:45Speaker 4: are up and up and running, they don't need that
- 25:47Speaker 4: many people run.
- 25:48Speaker 1: So the data that we found or that they found
- 25:51Speaker 1: I didn't find.
- 25:51Speaker 3: It claimed that it also brings in new business and
- 25:54Speaker 3: other things because the capabilities of it, and for some reason,
- 25:57Speaker 3: long term job growth occurs just not as rapid as
- 26:01Speaker 3: the short term building it growth. This was like a
- 26:03Speaker 3: five year study that was different, and I think it
- 26:06Speaker 3: was just published in the chronicle. So mostly you're right,
- 26:09Speaker 3: but a little bit they're claiming you're wrong. And honestly,
- 26:12Speaker 3: the data is not great yet on the data centers
- 26:15Speaker 3: because there aren't enough of them to study.
- 26:16Speaker 4: Right, and they haven't been around long enough most of
- 26:19Speaker 4: them to find out. But you know what, I agree
- 26:23Speaker 4: with the with Governor Rabbit. I when he was calling
- 26:26Speaker 4: for an outright band like the one on data centers
- 26:30Speaker 4: like this one in rural East Texas, and he did.
- 26:33Speaker 4: And the thing you said he wanted his quote was
- 26:36Speaker 4: he wanted the companies to be responsible stewards. And so
- 26:41Speaker 4: I think that's that makes sense. If you want to
- 26:44Speaker 4: build it, you can't. It's not incumbent upon the residents
- 26:47Speaker 4: of whatever municipality you go into. To cover your cost
- 26:52Speaker 4: for water and electricity, that's on you, and you can't,
- 26:55Speaker 4: you know, for the people who aren't going to be
- 26:57Speaker 4: working for you.
- 26:59Speaker 2: It's not there. It's not their deal.
- 27:00Speaker 4: You want to if you and I want to open
- 27:02Speaker 4: any other kind of business, who's responsible for all the overhead.
- 27:06Speaker 2: For that business?
- 27:06Speaker 1: Sure, yeah, I guess us absolutely, I get it, and
- 27:10Speaker 1: you're right about that.
- 27:11Speaker 3: I will say one other thing just about this topic
- 27:14Speaker 3: in general, that I find kind of interesting is the
- 27:19Speaker 3: likelihood that the people who protest about the thing inevitably
- 27:23Speaker 3: would want it to be somewhere close by them because
- 27:25Speaker 3: they do want the benefit.
- 27:27Speaker 1: Like this is the macro topic.
- 27:29Speaker 3: We probably shouldn't ask AI every question that's in our brain,
- 27:34Speaker 3: but all of us on planet Earth seem to be
- 27:36Speaker 3: doing that all the time now. So the need for
- 27:38Speaker 3: more data has skyrocketed and won't go away. If we
- 27:42Speaker 3: continue to rely on AI more, it'll just get worse.
- 27:46Speaker 3: So eventually we'll all want these We just might not
- 27:48Speaker 3: want them in our backyard.
- 27:49Speaker 4: Well, nobody wants that stuff in their own backyard. What
- 27:51Speaker 4: about that listen we talked to. I threw some shade
- 27:54Speaker 4: at Phil inadvertently before saying, the young people are boofy,
- 27:58Speaker 4: and that was not my intent. But people in Phil's
- 28:01Speaker 4: age range are starting to eshue all this AI and technology,
- 28:05Speaker 4: and one of our good friends, Craig, has downgraded to
- 28:09Speaker 4: back to a flip phone because technology he is he
- 28:13Speaker 4: doesn't want the yoke of technology bearing down on him.
- 28:16Speaker 1: That can't be real. He actually has a flip phone
- 28:18Speaker 1: and not a smartphone anymore.
- 28:20Speaker 3: Yep, you got rid of it because I was texting
- 28:22Speaker 3: him just the other day and I need that information
- 28:24Speaker 3: and I don't have that information.
- 28:26Speaker 2: How you got it now?
- 28:27Speaker 3: I couldn't handle that, man, I understand the idea behind it,
- 28:32Speaker 3: you know, the need to get away from it. My
- 28:33Speaker 3: wife yells at me when the phone is on and
- 28:35Speaker 3: we're trying to fall asleep at night, and I can't
- 28:37Speaker 3: even turn it off then.
- 28:39Speaker 1: But like, I don't know, man, this we we got here,
- 28:42Speaker 1: How do we go back? I can't actually go back,
- 28:45Speaker 1: you know.
- 28:45Speaker 3: What I mean, because the technology exists and I'm familiar
- 28:49Speaker 3: with it and I'll miss it forever.
- 28:50Speaker 1: If you talk away for me.
- 28:52Speaker 4: You can use the excuse that I know we have.
- 28:54Speaker 4: We have to be in touch with what's happening all
- 28:56Speaker 4: the time.
- 28:57Speaker 2: You're here to do this job. We got to know
- 28:58Speaker 2: what's happening all the time. Really, you have to know
- 29:02Speaker 2: what some Instagram bikini girl is doing.
- 29:03Speaker 1: Right Yeah, probably, probably, maybe it might be important.
- 29:08Speaker 3: You know what's funny about you know what's funny about that?
- 29:10Speaker 3: I have a serious topic, but you just mentioned it
- 29:12Speaker 3: and I can't help it.
- 29:13Speaker 1: I was thinking about this. I did a topic on
- 29:15Speaker 1: it the other day.
- 29:16Speaker 3: There's an Instagram model who got kicked out of a
- 29:18Speaker 3: gym after getting kicked off of a plane both times
- 29:22Speaker 3: because she was wearing an outfit to salacious for the
- 29:24Speaker 3: places she was and that's her thing now. She now
- 29:28Speaker 3: wants to dress in like crappy, barely their clothing and
- 29:31Speaker 3: get kicked out of places. I'm fine with that. As
- 29:34Speaker 3: far as a plan that she's doing on social media,
- 29:36Speaker 3: she'd come here, I'll let her stay.
- 29:39Speaker 2: I'll finally kick her outright how long it's a social experiment.
- 29:46Speaker 2: I want to see who'll kick her out first? Me
- 29:47Speaker 2: or my wife?
- 29:48Speaker 1: Well, I know who would kick her out of my house.
- 29:50Speaker 1: She wouldn't even make it in my house.
- 29:51Speaker 2: Actually, she would come in. It's so hot.
- 29:54Speaker 1: It is hot, too hot, That's what I tell Betty.
- 29:57Speaker 2: It's hot. Can barely barely dressed women come in here?
- 30:01Speaker 2: It is too hot.
- 30:02Speaker 1: They can't make it?
- 30:03Speaker 2: All right?
- 30:04Speaker 3: I want to talk about the Odyssey a little bit.
- 30:06Speaker 3: This okay, Yeah, this movie has crushed at the box office.
- 30:11Speaker 3: Before it came out, a lot of conservative people, a
- 30:15Speaker 3: lot of pundits and whatnot, were saying that it seemed
- 30:17Speaker 3: incredibly woke, some of the casting decisions in it, just
- 30:21Speaker 3: a bunch of aspects of it seemed to be Hollywood
- 30:24Speaker 3: doing Hollywood things. Yet again, some of those people after
- 30:27Speaker 3: seeing the movie have changed their opinion.
- 30:29Speaker 1: What did you want to say?
- 30:31Speaker 4: Well, how how do you describe a movie as well?
- 30:35Speaker 4: I know there was a lot of consternation over some
- 30:37Speaker 4: of the casting, right, but it's.
- 30:41Speaker 2: Pretend movies are. This is not based on it's not
- 30:46Speaker 2: a biographical film.
- 30:48Speaker 4: It's pretend And okay, because you saw it one way
- 30:53Speaker 4: in your mind and listen, I translated part of the
- 30:56Speaker 4: Iliad and Honyssey from the Greek in high school, so.
- 31:00Speaker 3: An expert, I would say this in reaction to what
- 31:03Speaker 3: you just said. It's funny that at times the side
- 31:07Speaker 3: that was mad about this movie says exactly what you
- 31:10Speaker 3: just said about other movies, like they don't need some
- 31:13Speaker 3: things to be cast absolutely accurately, Like if this person
- 31:18Speaker 3: plays the character this person or a person who you
- 31:21Speaker 3: know actually can walk plays a cripple. There have been
- 31:23Speaker 3: a lot of times where conservative media would say it's
- 31:26Speaker 3: called acting, Get used to it. They're allowed to do
- 31:28Speaker 3: a thing without actually being representative of whatever the character is.
- 31:32Speaker 3: And now that's not so true. I will say, to
- 31:36Speaker 3: be fair, some of the casting decisions in this one
- 31:38Speaker 3: could potentially remove people from the movie. I think the
- 31:41Speaker 3: biggest one is talking about a transgender actor portraying a dude,
- 31:46Speaker 3: and a lot of people saying that they're not sure
- 31:48Speaker 3: that they're going to buy that, especially since the person
- 31:50Speaker 3: was fairly famous as Ellen Page, a woman, and then
- 31:54Speaker 3: you see her doing something else in a different role.
- 31:57Speaker 1: Although I guess, well that's.
- 31:58Speaker 4: Who they are now say here this is this is
- 32:02Speaker 4: a perfect example. Christopher Nolan is an artist. He has
- 32:07Speaker 4: created this piece of art. The market will will say
- 32:12Speaker 4: if it's successful or not. So everybody in this country
- 32:16Speaker 4: has the choice to say I'm not going to see
- 32:18Speaker 4: that movie, and that's okay. If you don't want to
- 32:21Speaker 4: see that movie, no skin off anybody's nose. Well, so
- 32:27Speaker 4: I don't, like, we have so many other really important.
- 32:32Speaker 2: Things to talk about.
- 32:34Speaker 4: This is this is a manufactured This is manufactured rage
- 32:39Speaker 4: to divert our attention from some really important thing.
- 32:42Speaker 1: Both sides do that they get mad.
- 32:44Speaker 5: I'm not.
- 32:44Speaker 2: I didn't. I'm yeah.
- 32:46Speaker 4: I'm not saying this is unique to conservatives on this
- 32:49Speaker 4: on this particular thing, because we hear it from the
- 32:52Speaker 4: other side too.
- 32:53Speaker 2: You know, it's it when and you mentioned it.
- 32:58Speaker 4: But you know when more liberal people are like, why
- 33:02Speaker 4: didn't we cast an actor.
- 33:05Speaker 2: In a wheelchair? Well, one, they might not if they're
- 33:08Speaker 2: a wheelchair actors, and I'm sure there are. Maybe they're
- 33:10Speaker 2: no good. This is they're making the money.
- 33:14Speaker 4: They're making movies to make money, friends, And it doesn't
- 33:17Speaker 4: matter if you think if you were that great a
- 33:20Speaker 4: casting director, you'd be in Hollywood casting film.
- 33:23Speaker 1: Sure.
- 33:24Speaker 3: Well, it's the other thing I was going to say
- 33:26Speaker 3: is that, from what I've heard, Ellen Page, the woman
- 33:31Speaker 3: who now goes by Elliott Page, She's only in the
- 33:34Speaker 3: movie for like a few minutes at the very beginning,
- 33:36Speaker 3: and then it goes away. So anybody that's really upset
- 33:38Speaker 3: with that or thinks that there's some bigger fight to
- 33:40Speaker 3: be had in the world of the discussion about you know,
- 33:43Speaker 3: those sorts of things and how Hollywood uses some sort
- 33:47Speaker 3: of stuff to preach to people, it goes away pretty
- 33:52Speaker 3: quickly like that. That part of the movie is over,
- 33:55Speaker 3: and according to Ben Shapiro, all of the people in
- 33:57Speaker 3: the movie do an incredible job.
- 33:58Speaker 1: I think he called it like an amazing movie. And
- 34:02Speaker 1: so I would use a.
- 34:04Speaker 3: Different argument or a different example, because I did see Barbie,
- 34:08Speaker 3: and Barbie did hate guys, like there were several moments
- 34:11Speaker 3: in the movie where the men as a whole were
- 34:15Speaker 3: terrible and the bad guy.
- 34:17Speaker 1: However, I did enjoy the movie.
- 34:19Speaker 3: And I didn't agree, okay, and I didn't agree with
- 34:23Speaker 3: the outcome that like men are horrible and terrible and
- 34:26Speaker 3: they're they're awful and all that. Like, I didn't agree
- 34:28Speaker 3: with that. And I even said, filling in for Dana
- 34:31Speaker 3: Lash earlier today that if I had a little kid,
- 34:33Speaker 3: I might not bring my little kid to that movie
- 34:35Speaker 3: because I might want want them to believe the message
- 34:38Speaker 3: that's in the movie. I would want to potentially keep
- 34:40Speaker 3: them away from that because I don't agree with it.
- 34:42Speaker 3: But as an adult, I'm not going to be susceptible
- 34:45Speaker 3: to the brainwashing that some people think might happen.
- 34:49Speaker 4: When we react to something like that. We're reacting on
- 34:52Speaker 4: a personal level. You are not you are not toxically
- 34:55Speaker 4: horrible as a man, And I hope I am not either,
- 34:58Speaker 4: but there are there are, There are men who are,
- 35:01Speaker 4: and there are women who are. And so again it's
- 35:05Speaker 4: a movie about a doll. Yeah, did they put political
- 35:09Speaker 4: statements in there? Yeah, because that's what art does say.
- 35:12Speaker 4: But if we don't want to see it, we don't
- 35:14Speaker 4: have to see it. And I have that thing with
- 35:18Speaker 4: most stuff because I don't think we should be censoring
- 35:23Speaker 4: that kind of stuff.
- 35:23Speaker 1: I don't know if we should be censoring it.
- 35:25Speaker 3: I would say this though, because he said, like the
- 35:26Speaker 3: toxic masculine thing, and I am going to push back.
- 35:29Speaker 1: This will be the first kind of pushback.
- 35:30Speaker 3: I think that a lot of what is actually masculine
- 35:33Speaker 3: gets described as toxically masculine. Now, I think there's a
- 35:36Speaker 3: lot of things that are just innately men that do
- 35:40Speaker 3: men things that people hate and want us not to do.
- 35:43Speaker 3: And actually I'll use a different example for this noon,
- 35:45Speaker 3: because I thought it was funny. I saw a list
- 35:48Speaker 3: of the things that women say are their major red
- 35:50Speaker 3: flags that they hate about guys, and they would never
- 35:53Speaker 3: go on another date with a guy if they did them.
- 35:55Speaker 3: A lot of those were masculine things. And then I
- 35:57Speaker 3: saw another list I think just yesterday about the stuff
- 35:59Speaker 3: that and thinker are great if they see this in
- 36:02Speaker 3: a guy. And it was like, be extra sensitive, love
- 36:05Speaker 3: puppies like a bunch of stuff. Not that I don't
- 36:07Speaker 3: love puppies, but it's just it sounded like they were
- 36:09Speaker 3: describing a woman and a lot of the characteristics they liked.
- 36:12Speaker 3: And I think that's a problem. I think that's a danger.
- 36:15Speaker 3: And I think that the Barbie movie played into that
- 36:18Speaker 3: that anything masculine is toxic masculine.
- 36:21Speaker 2: Well, and don't I don't. I agree with you that
- 36:25Speaker 2: it's an overblown thing.
- 36:27Speaker 4: Like a lot of the like a lot of the
- 36:29Speaker 4: topics that we find in culture Wars, it's overblown. We
- 36:33Speaker 4: can take we can pick and choose examples and say, look,
- 36:37Speaker 4: that's horrible, and that one example might be horrible, right, But.
- 36:42Speaker 2: That doesn't mean everything is horrible. No.
- 36:44Speaker 3: And I even hate the name because like, if someone's
- 36:46Speaker 3: a jerk, I just call them a jerk. I don't
- 36:48Speaker 3: even be like, well, that's toxic masculinity. No, I have
- 36:51Speaker 3: other adjectives. A jerk is a very nice one.
- 36:54Speaker 4: But I don't think I've ever referred to anybody as
- 36:58Speaker 4: having toxic masculinity.
- 37:00Speaker 2: Also, don't say anybody's in alpha or a beta.
- 37:03Speaker 1: No, I've said beta before. You have called people of beta.
- 37:07Speaker 2: You love the talking, you love the hot There are.
- 37:10Speaker 3: Beta people out there, man, there are They're not even
- 37:12Speaker 3: just dudes, there's just beta people that anyway, Wow, that
- 37:16Speaker 3: has made well. There are people that are pushovers and
- 37:19Speaker 3: there's people that are not. And I think the beta
- 37:21Speaker 3: people are the pushover people.
- 37:23Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 37:23Speaker 3: I just that's what I describe them as pushovers. You know,
- 37:26Speaker 3: it's an easier one for you to Okay.
- 37:28Speaker 2: It's same thing, same thing, different label I did.
- 37:31Speaker 3: Right there, we go, all right, let's do one more
- 37:33Speaker 3: topic and let's take another break, and I'll let you
- 37:35Speaker 3: pick it.
- 37:35Speaker 1: You created most of the rundown today.
- 37:38Speaker 2: Well, I'm gonna say this might surprise you.
- 37:40Speaker 4: I am infuriated by this story coming out that one
- 37:43Speaker 4: of the Vice president's secret service agents may have leaked
- 37:47Speaker 4: information about their travel plans and everything else.
- 37:50Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't care. I'm no fan of JD. Vance Okay,
- 37:54Speaker 2: but I don't care.
- 37:56Speaker 4: Your job is to protect that man and his family
- 38:00Speaker 4: until he is out of office, and then the detail
- 38:04Speaker 4: he gets after he's out of office.
- 38:05Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 38:06Speaker 4: If you can't do that, then you need to resign. Sure,
- 38:10Speaker 4: and I would say that about the president's secret service.
- 38:13Speaker 4: I would say that about anybody's secret service detail you have.
- 38:18Speaker 4: You are way out of bounds doing this. And I
- 38:22Speaker 4: know people go, well, who cares, It's just you know,
- 38:24Speaker 4: we don't.
- 38:25Speaker 2: We don't like them. And to those people, I say,
- 38:27Speaker 2: you are a trash human being.
- 38:29Speaker 3: Ye, you're a beta human. You're terrible, But I don't
- 38:31Speaker 3: even know that. No, you're less than a You're an omega.
- 38:34Speaker 3: You don't even deserve to be there. You're going to
- 38:36Speaker 3: this last letter of the Greek alphabet. Well, I'll say this.
- 38:39Speaker 3: And I obviously feel differently about Jade Vance as a person.
- 38:42Speaker 1: I kind of like him.
- 38:42Speaker 3: I think that Rubio is a better pick than Vance
- 38:45Speaker 3: as far as the presidency goes, and I've just come
- 38:47Speaker 3: to think that recently.
- 38:48Speaker 1: But I like both as a potential option.
- 38:50Speaker 3: But I would say that, yes, of course, you should
- 38:53Speaker 3: protect someone at all costs, whoever it is, as secret service,
- 38:56Speaker 3: and anything you do to put them in jeopardy, it
- 38:59Speaker 3: means that you deserve to be in trouble. It's the
- 39:01Speaker 3: same thing when I see people celebrating somebody's death or
- 39:05Speaker 3: celebrating some attempt to kill somebody, regardless of who it is.
- 39:09Speaker 3: And I've said this multiple times on this show and
- 39:12Speaker 3: other shows, like when high profile democrats pass away, I'm
- 39:17Speaker 3: not going to celebrate. I'm not going to hit the
- 39:19Speaker 3: street and be like yes, great, awesome. And actually, to me,
- 39:23Speaker 3: the biggest reason why we might have talked about this
- 39:25Speaker 3: last week is that when someone dies, they're no longer
- 39:28Speaker 3: a part of the political conversation that there because.
- 39:33Speaker 2: We came on right after Lindsey Graham had yeah right.
- 39:35Speaker 3: So to me, I feel like, outside of you know,
- 39:39Speaker 3: their family having to mourn whoever the persons that passed away,
- 39:42Speaker 3: I can just move on to new targets and other
- 39:44Speaker 3: people in a political world, in any other world, because
- 39:47Speaker 3: they're people that are still doing stuff. And so, yeah,
- 39:50Speaker 3: I fully agree with you on the take with Vance.
- 39:53Speaker 3: And it's weird that we've gotten so far into our
- 39:57Speaker 3: corners that we're starting to celebrate actual violence a participate
- 40:01Speaker 3: like happening to people. And I'm seeing a lot of
- 40:04Speaker 3: this on the left. I'm going to say that the
- 40:06Speaker 3: bombing in New York City, the firework from the gasoline
- 40:09Speaker 3: and the whatnot trying to play that was.
- 40:10Speaker 2: Yeah, fail, You're not gonna get an argument for me
- 40:13Speaker 2: that was horrible.
- 40:15Speaker 1: Yeah, right, and the guy's inn ex military which made me.
- 40:19Speaker 2: You don't do that.
- 40:20Speaker 4: That's not how That's not how things are supposed to
- 40:24Speaker 4: be right debated, That's not how problems get solved.
- 40:27Speaker 2: That's how problems get bigger.
- 40:28Speaker 3: Right, and and honestly, we've got multiple examples of this recently,
- 40:32Speaker 3: Tyler Robinson being in courtrooms because of the killing of
- 40:35Speaker 3: Charlie Kirk. There's multiple examples of how you know, hate
- 40:39Speaker 3: and anger cannot be excused to allow for violence to
- 40:43Speaker 3: be the next step.
- 40:44Speaker 1: But all right, we got to take a break. We'll
- 40:46Speaker 1: come back. We'll do a little bit more fun before
- 40:48Speaker 1: we get out of here.
- 40:49Speaker 3: This is the Craig Collins Show, but we're also calling
- 40:51Speaker 3: it Collins and Noonan on KSV seven hundred am, the
- 40:55Speaker 3: Voice of Texas.
- 40:56Speaker 5: You have it's lunch time. But there's no way you
- 41:00Speaker 5: would eat us doe from lunch. Right. Well, the good
- 41:03Speaker 5: thing is I have some cheese, your friend has some
- 41:07Speaker 5: tomato sauce. This random guy on the street has pepperoni
- 41:11Speaker 5: in his backpack. If we bring all these ingredients together,
- 41:15Speaker 5: we end up with something much better than any of
- 41:17Speaker 5: them alone. A savory pizza for lunch. But each of
- 41:22Speaker 5: us has not only different ingredients, but also different opinions
- 41:26Speaker 5: coming from our different life experiences. If we bring all
- 41:30Speaker 5: these experiences into all these opinions together in friendly civil conversation,
- 41:36Speaker 5: we end up with opinions and ideas that are better
- 41:39Speaker 5: than any of our individual opinions before. So if we
- 41:43Speaker 5: want to come up with those better ideas for a
- 41:45Speaker 5: better world, what we really need are civil civic conversations pizzas.
- 41:52Speaker 5: It's an American thing, American thing dot org.
- 41:55Speaker 6: I lost my nineteen year old son, Johnny to suicide
- 41:58Speaker 6: after he became psychotic from using marijuana, vapes and dabs.
- 42:03Speaker 6: He experienced cannabis induced psychosis and thought the MOB and
- 42:07Speaker 6: the FBI were after him. Dabs are products with concentrated
- 42:11Speaker 6: high potency THHC, the chemical in marijuana that gives users
- 42:15Speaker 6: the high feeling one hit on a dab pen today
- 42:19Speaker 6: is the same as smoking fifty old fashioned joints back
- 42:22Speaker 6: in the day. Use of THHC before the age of
- 42:25Speaker 6: twenty five causes changes in brain development, a loss of
- 42:29Speaker 6: IQ points and lower motivation. Studies show THHC increases the
- 42:34Speaker 6: risk of anxiety depression and schizophrenia in developing brains. I
- 42:39Speaker 6: lost my child, but it's not too late for yours.
- 42:43Speaker 6: Educate your teen on the harms of marijuana.
- 42:46Speaker 7: A public service message from the nonprofit Johnny's Ambassadors.
- 42:50Speaker 3: Learn the risks and get the facts at Johnny'sambassadors dot org.
- 42:56Speaker 10: There's a world of opportunity out there beyond the typical
- 42:59Speaker 10: nine to five life, where purpose and grit come together,
- 43:03Speaker 10: where the American spirit and ingenuity are welcomed in places
- 43:06Speaker 10: that could really use your skills and your experience. We're
- 43:10Speaker 10: talking about the Peace Corps, with volunteers living and working
- 43:14Speaker 10: in communities around the globe, and it's been called the
- 43:17Speaker 10: toughest job you'll ever love. Tough because it asks so
- 43:21Speaker 10: much of you to dig deeper, get your hands dirty,
- 43:26Speaker 10: to go that extra mile, to rise to the occasion
- 43:30Speaker 10: and meet challenges head on. And the love part comes
- 43:34Speaker 10: from being part of something bigger than yourself, from building
- 43:37Speaker 10: bonds that last a lifetime. It's knowing your hard work
- 43:40Speaker 10: transformed lives, including your own. After sixty five years, the
- 43:45Speaker 10: Peace Corps is still the toughest job you'll ever love.
- 43:49Speaker 10: Explore opportunities in more than sixty countries, learn about benefits
- 43:52Speaker 10: and apply at Peacecorps dot gov slash serve.
- 43:56Speaker 3: This is the Craig Collins Show, or as we call
- 43:58Speaker 3: it on Thursday's and Noonan. He's Brian Nonan. I'm Craig Collins,
- 44:03Speaker 3: thrilled to be with you. Lots of stuff out there
- 44:05Speaker 3: to talk about, and yet we both have found a
- 44:08Speaker 3: Florida story which I think is awesome to end the show.
- 44:12Speaker 3: So nowon in, do you want to do your Florida
- 44:13Speaker 3: story first? I'm the guest, so I will allow the
- 44:17Speaker 3: host to go first. All right, I found a Florida
- 44:19Speaker 3: story about a circus that is touring Florida that is
- 44:22Speaker 3: getting a whole lot of coverage because some are describing
- 44:27Speaker 3: it as a collection of horrible things all rolled together
- 44:30Speaker 3: in a circus happening in Florida. One of them is
- 44:32Speaker 3: that it's in Florida. I think that's one of the
- 44:33Speaker 3: terrible things. Okay, it is a bunch of terrifying clowns
- 44:37Speaker 3: that are trying to do a quote horror circus.
- 44:40Speaker 2: So you go there.
- 44:42Speaker 3: There's acrobatics, there's animals, there's all the things you expect
- 44:45Speaker 3: of the circus, but there's also terrifying looking clowns that
- 44:49Speaker 3: are trying to scare the crapty you the entire time
- 44:51Speaker 3: you're there. It is apparently a very popular thing for
- 44:54Speaker 3: Floridians to go to, but a lot of people are
- 44:57Speaker 3: saying that this is all their fears are rolled up
- 44:59Speaker 3: into one.
- 45:00Speaker 1: What do you say about the scary clown circus?
- 45:03Speaker 4: I understand I am not one of those people who
- 45:06Speaker 4: are terrified of clowns, but I get that it is
- 45:09Speaker 4: triggering for a lot of people. My wife does not
- 45:12Speaker 4: like clowns. She also does not like ventriloquiz dummies. She's
- 45:15Speaker 4: terrified of both. So I get why this is popular.
- 45:19Speaker 4: I also I also can see people taking people that
- 45:24Speaker 4: they know, go, hey, you just want to go to
- 45:25Speaker 4: the circus. Yes, there's not gonna be clowns, I don't
- 45:28Speaker 4: think so, or the happy clowns. You like Bozo, you
- 45:32Speaker 4: like Ronald McDonald's fine, Oh yeah, it'll be fine.
- 45:35Speaker 2: Ah, then you get John Wayne Gaesy.
- 45:38Speaker 1: I just love the fact that people are like debating
- 45:40Speaker 1: this because of course it's Florida.
- 45:42Speaker 3: Like, I'm not surprised. Of course they're doing the clown
- 45:44Speaker 3: terrorf thing and I would go. And it's not because
- 45:46Speaker 3: I'm afraid of clowns. I'm not a huge fan of
- 45:49Speaker 3: the circus. I don't think it's as fun, oh do you.
- 45:52Speaker 3: I don't think it's fun as they say, man like
- 45:54Speaker 3: it's you know, especially depending on where you're sitting. The
- 45:58Speaker 3: crazy thing that where they launched himself off the trapeze.
- 46:02Speaker 1: No, no, I could do other stuff.
- 46:04Speaker 2: I haven't been to a circus in a while, but
- 46:07Speaker 2: I do enjoy the circus.
- 46:09Speaker 3: My wife loves horses, so we went to a circus
- 46:11Speaker 3: that had a lot of horses, and she was excited
- 46:13Speaker 3: and I really wanted to leave, but I made it
- 46:15Speaker 3: through the whole thing.
- 46:16Speaker 4: I like the people on the trapeze. I still, you know,
- 46:19Speaker 4: a highwaire act I dig. I like the Sphere of
- 46:21Speaker 4: Death where they're riding a motorcycle inside of it.
- 46:24Speaker 2: I like that.
- 46:24Speaker 3: Great, that's fine. As long as they like's cool. As
- 46:27Speaker 3: long as they like that on fire, then I'm happy
- 46:28Speaker 3: about that.
- 46:29Speaker 4: Oh they do now now I miss you know. I
- 46:33Speaker 4: like the lions. I know, if you're an animal rights person,
- 46:36Speaker 4: don't at me.
- 46:37Speaker 2: I get it. But I do like seeing the lions
- 46:39Speaker 2: because I'm always rooting for the lion.
- 46:41Speaker 4: Yeah, quite frankly, I want. I want that lion to
- 46:45Speaker 4: break bad and go all Zigfried and Royd on them.
- 46:48Speaker 3: Well, I's sort of like hockey, like I like the fights.
- 46:50Speaker 3: So yeah, all right, what's your Florida story?
- 46:53Speaker 4: Oh well, Craig One, Florida City is issuing warnings for
- 46:57Speaker 4: a reason that you may not have heard multiple monkey sightings.
- 47:01Speaker 4: I don't know what's going on in Florida, but yes,
- 47:04Speaker 4: a wild Reeseius macaw was photographed last month outside the
- 47:08Speaker 4: Lakeside it in Mount Dora. Another monkey was caught on
- 47:11Speaker 4: camera in Gilbert Park. Monkeys all over this town. One
- 47:15Speaker 4: of the residents has said she spotted a monkey near
- 47:18Speaker 4: the shopping mall.
- 47:19Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, they gotta go.
- 47:21Speaker 4: Uh.
- 47:22Speaker 2: I was like, who would have their dog out on
- 47:23Speaker 2: a busy road? And as I got closer, I was like,
- 47:26Speaker 2: oh my gosh, that's a monkey. I know. I don't.
- 47:31Speaker 4: I don't know what kind of dogs they have down
- 47:32Speaker 4: there either. If you're mistaking a dog from if your
- 47:35Speaker 4: dog's walking on its hind.
- 47:36Speaker 1: Legs all the time, yeah, you got you got some
- 47:38Speaker 1: other problems.
- 47:38Speaker 2: Take it to the circus, make some money.
- 47:42Speaker 1: Would you ever have a pet monkey or a crazy
- 47:44Speaker 1: pat or no? Okay, no, I think about you one.
- 47:47Speaker 2: Would you want one? Yeah?
- 47:48Speaker 1: I think so. I think part even after.
- 47:50Speaker 2: All the stories of chimps ripping people's faces.
- 47:52Speaker 3: All the things you just said there, Yeah, I think
- 47:54Speaker 3: I think I would want a crazy pet. The only
- 47:57Speaker 3: reason why is that we've tried normal pets so far
- 48:00Speaker 3: and there have been some issues, So why don't we
- 48:01Speaker 3: try a crazy one. Although we had a parrot for
- 48:03Speaker 3: a bit that attacked the crap out of both of us.
- 48:06Speaker 3: They told us to take it out of the cage,
- 48:08Speaker 3: and every time we did it seemed like it wanted
- 48:10Speaker 3: to peck us to death.
- 48:11Speaker 2: Yeah, you know why, because you put a bird in
- 48:13Speaker 2: a cage. Yeah, it didn't like that.
- 48:17Speaker 4: You know, my dogs don't attack me because they have
- 48:20Speaker 4: the run of the house, so they're they're they're pretty chill.
- 48:23Speaker 4: You know.
- 48:23Speaker 2: I feed them. They can do whatever they want to do.
- 48:27Speaker 2: I I know, I don't mean to upset people in care,
- 48:32Speaker 2: but if you have a bird that's so mean, that's
- 48:35Speaker 2: like the meanest thing of it. I don't know, keep
- 48:38Speaker 2: a burden a cage. All they're supposed to do is fly.
- 48:40Speaker 3: Yeah, and then you wonder why it wants to take
- 48:42Speaker 3: your eyes out? Yeah, but it seemed happy in the cage,
- 48:44Speaker 3: like the whole thing you're saying. From my own human experience,
- 48:48Speaker 3: the only time that bird seemed happy was in the cage.
- 48:51Speaker 3: Out of the cage, it seemed real mad in there.
- 48:54Speaker 3: It seemed very you know, very content in there.
- 48:57Speaker 2: It was plotting your demid, it was biding its time.
- 49:00Speaker 3: Okay, now they actually told us, you know, it's funny
- 49:03Speaker 3: about that. And we only have a minute. And I
- 49:04Speaker 3: don't know why I'm telling you this with a minute
- 49:06Speaker 3: to go here, but I am I can't wait to
- 49:07Speaker 3: hear it.
- 49:07Speaker 1: Okay, here we go.
- 49:09Speaker 3: The bird that we got was like next to one
- 49:11Speaker 3: other bird, and when we returned it there like, yeah,
- 49:13Speaker 3: we've been having that problem.
- 49:14Speaker 1: We think they made it.
- 49:16Speaker 3: And so the two birds would just get so mad
- 49:18Speaker 3: at each other or so mad at everybody else, just
- 49:20Speaker 3: to get back together.
- 49:21Speaker 1: So it's a happy romantic story.
- 49:23Speaker 2: I guess it is romantic. It's like Romeo and parrotly.
- 49:26Speaker 3: It it was so Also, I don't know why they
- 49:29Speaker 3: were selling the parrots after they let the mate and
- 49:32Speaker 3: then splitting them up would make them horrible to have
- 49:34Speaker 3: it home.
- 49:35Speaker 2: But it sounds really that's overly me This parrot. You
- 49:38Speaker 2: love that parrot.
- 49:40Speaker 1: Good lucky, we gotta go as a pet.
- 49:43Speaker 3: Smart in Chicago that sold me that parrot and so
- 49:45Speaker 3: good on them all right, Oh sorry, that's no, that's
- 49:49Speaker 3: your prob.
