Latest / Wicked Radio with Bill Adams / Wicked Radio 10-8: Big Milton, Storm Conspiracy Theory, CBS Hammers Kamala, and Snobby iPhone Users!
Transcript
- 0:06Speaker 1: Yeah, Renumber. A couple of months ago, a lot of us,
- 0:09Speaker 1: me included, were saying, boy, this is a pretty quiet
- 0:11Speaker 1: storm season, not so much Big Milty. We got to
- 0:15Speaker 1: talk about that today, as well as Ron de Santus
- 0:18Speaker 1: owning this moment. I've paid attention to this guy for
- 0:21Speaker 1: quite some time, just living in Florida and you know,
- 0:23Speaker 1: being aware of him and then all of us through
- 0:25Speaker 1: the campaign. But boy, tired Ron when he's a little
- 0:29Speaker 1: bit worn down, he's doing all these press conferences. That's
- 0:31Speaker 1: best run. Speaking of dropping the hammer, what got into CBS.
- 0:34Speaker 1: You probably didn't see the sixty minutes thing they hammered Kamala.
- 0:39Speaker 1: We'll get into that as well. It's Amazon Prime Day
- 0:41Speaker 1: and I think we found the snobbiest phone users in
- 0:44Speaker 1: the world iPhone users. I'm in that camp as well.
- 0:48Speaker 1: All right, let's make fun of some news Wicked Radio, Tuesday,
- 0:52Speaker 1: October eighth, Bill Adams, thanks for finding me. As always,
- 0:56Speaker 1: not a lot to make fun of with this storm,
- 0:57Speaker 1: Big Milton, Hurricane Milton as and I was just checking
- 1:01Speaker 1: this right before we went on. They still have this
- 1:03Speaker 1: at one hundred and fifty five miles per hour, massive storm.
- 1:06Speaker 1: I mean, it's just a beast and still pretty much
- 1:09Speaker 1: on track to hit the Tampa Bay area a lot
- 1:11Speaker 1: of these models coming together. More on the models in
- 1:13Speaker 1: just a second here, But it's just it's a tough,
- 1:17Speaker 1: tough scene. You want to look at the light in
- 1:19Speaker 1: any darkness. I think the good news here is that
- 1:21Speaker 1: I think most people in the Tampa Bay area anyway
- 1:23Speaker 1: heeded the warnings to get out of that place, to evacuate.
- 1:26Speaker 1: Because I'm sorry, I'm sure you saw him too. Some
- 1:28Speaker 1: of the overhead shots of I seventy five and I
- 1:31Speaker 1: four in the Tampa area, a lot of people getting
- 1:34Speaker 1: out of it. And that's a terrible situation to be in,
- 1:36Speaker 1: to be stuck in the road trying to get out
- 1:38Speaker 1: of there. You know, a lot of people running out
- 1:39Speaker 1: of gas. It's just awful. So hearts and prayers for
- 1:42Speaker 1: those folks for sure. And again, this is gonna be
- 1:45Speaker 1: a situation just like Helen, can't we rely on the government.
- 1:49Speaker 1: It's gonna be Americans helping out Americans. Again, That's what
- 1:52Speaker 1: it's gonna be. And this is gonna be the true
- 1:54Speaker 1: true test to see what happens with this. Speaking of
- 1:57Speaker 1: the models, this is an amazing thing that's actually changed
- 2:01Speaker 1: with storm. I guess predicting the technology is amazing. We
- 2:06Speaker 1: said this a little bit with a lean just what
- 2:08Speaker 1: week and a half, two weeks ago? How accurate they've
- 2:11Speaker 1: gotten this. Nobody could have predicted that ocean of you know,
- 2:16Speaker 1: brown water drowning those poor folks in western North Carolina.
- 2:20Speaker 1: But as far as where the storm did, unfortunately Florida's
- 2:23Speaker 1: west coast again in the Big Bend area, they got
- 2:25Speaker 1: a lot of that right in with the models. It's
- 2:29Speaker 1: incredible how it's come and how the National Hurricane Center
- 2:32Speaker 1: has kind of changed. You may have noticed this if
- 2:33Speaker 1: you paid attention for quite some time to how they
- 2:36Speaker 1: present the models. Wasn't that long ago. It was like
- 2:39Speaker 1: three seasons ago, back in the radio days, but not
- 2:43Speaker 1: that long ago. I literally got yelled at on the
- 2:46Speaker 1: air by a National Hurricane Center forecaster talking about the models.
- 2:50Speaker 1: And it was a simple question. I mean it honestly was.
- 2:53Speaker 1: I just said, you know, we had them on the
- 2:54Speaker 1: air and it was some storm coming, and it said, well,
- 2:56Speaker 1: you know, a lot of the models seemed to be
- 2:58Speaker 1: converging on this. An he interests and he goes, don't
- 3:00Speaker 1: talk about the models. Never tell never tell people about
- 3:03Speaker 1: the models. I was like, hold on, they're available everywhere
- 3:07Speaker 1: and they're getting better and better. And remember this was
- 3:09Speaker 1: three years ago, freaked out, No tell the cone anything,
- 3:13Speaker 1: talk about the cone. Here's how it's changed now. Now
- 3:16Speaker 1: look at the Hurricane Center and the Weather Channel because
- 3:18Speaker 1: of the technology that the Weather Channel will have on
- 3:23Speaker 1: National Hurricane Center experts along with Mike from Mike's Weather page,
- 3:27Speaker 1: because all he does is post the models because that's
- 3:29Speaker 1: the information that's available to people. That information that's out
- 3:34Speaker 1: there for everybody, has forced the Hurricane Center to change
- 3:36Speaker 1: how this presents to people. Just going through a bunch
- 3:39Speaker 1: of different storm seasons. You gotta do what you gotta
- 3:41Speaker 1: do to prepare. But here's my own personal opinion about that.
- 3:44Speaker 1: Respect the cone, right, because things can change, but pay
- 3:49Speaker 1: attention to the models. That's my own personal philosophy. Anyway,
- 3:52Speaker 1: a lot can change, a lot can change with this thing,
- 3:54Speaker 1: with this storm obviously, but the technology is out there,
- 3:58Speaker 1: use it and it's amazing how far they've come with
- 4:02Speaker 1: that stuff. So that's the good news. And there's also
- 4:04Speaker 1: this I've seen a lot of this online. I know
- 4:07Speaker 1: a lot of you think that this is a thing.
- 4:09Speaker 1: I know I've heard a lot too, from a lot
- 4:11Speaker 1: of friends and family. So I get where you're coming from.
- 4:14Speaker 1: I totally understand it. But guys, I know the storms
- 4:18Speaker 1: have been frequent. I don't think the government has the
- 4:22Speaker 1: power or ability to control hurricanes. Okay, can we say
- 4:27Speaker 1: that clearly and concisely? Now? Would they If they could,
- 4:32Speaker 1: I wouldn't put it past them. But I don't think
- 4:35Speaker 1: they can. I think that's a conspiracy theory that's not
- 4:38Speaker 1: quite solid yet. Here's why I think that the government
- 4:42Speaker 1: can barely run a post office. I don't think they
- 4:46Speaker 1: can control storms.
- 4:48Speaker 2: Okay.
- 4:48Speaker 1: I think we may be overestimating them just a little bit,
- 4:52Speaker 1: all right, but believe what you want to believe. I'm
- 4:54Speaker 1: not here to judge. All Right, We'll update you as
- 4:57Speaker 1: we go on Big Milton. Because that death storm is
- 4:59Speaker 1: just a beast. We got it. We're gonna have to
- 5:00Speaker 1: help out afford our fellow Americans on that as well.
- 5:03Speaker 1: Speaking of helping out, so this was It's been another
- 5:07Speaker 1: fascinating thing to see the development of Ron DeSantis now
- 5:10Speaker 1: just being down here in Florida. And I've interviewed him twice.
- 5:13Speaker 1: I think it was first time was when he was
- 5:16Speaker 1: running for office. The first time for governor of Florida.
- 5:20Speaker 1: Nobody knew who he was. Nobody did, so we're asking
- 5:22Speaker 1: him a bunch of questions. The second time was he
- 5:24Speaker 1: was already in office, and I think that was actually
- 5:26Speaker 1: for some storm prep. I've noticed something about Ron de Santa's.
- 5:31Speaker 1: The best run is when he's a little bit tired.
- 5:34Speaker 1: The guy's a good administrator. He is. You may be
- 5:36Speaker 1: mad at him, may be upset that he even dared
- 5:39Speaker 1: to run against Trump. I guess that's just politics. I understand.
- 5:42Speaker 1: I totally get that the politics gets dirty. The guy's
- 5:45Speaker 1: a good administrator, like he would be a great president
- 5:49Speaker 1: down the road when things are setl already, not now.
- 5:52Speaker 1: We need a disruptor, right That's I think that's the
- 5:54Speaker 1: appeal of Trump. Not right now. But he's good in
- 5:58Speaker 1: administrating and managing things. But he's best when he's a
- 6:01Speaker 1: little bit worn out. Now. The guy has done endless
- 6:04Speaker 1: press conferences. I don't think he's sleeping at all from
- 6:07Speaker 1: the emergency operation centers throughout pretty much every Gulf Coast
- 6:11Speaker 1: county in the state of Florida. When his filter is
- 6:15Speaker 1: off and he starts like revealing how he really feels,
- 6:18Speaker 1: and he gets worked about things. He's really awesome. Case
- 6:22Speaker 1: in point, I won't play at the audio of Kambala
- 6:24Speaker 1: on the tarmac from yesterday, but she started to dig
- 6:26Speaker 1: in on Dessannas, saying that he hasn't responded to my
- 6:30Speaker 1: calls and it's irresponsible that he's bringing politics into this. Well,
- 6:34Speaker 1: Desanta's heavy d was not having any of that. One
- 6:37Speaker 1: of his many interviews yesterday, he was talking to Fox
- 6:40Speaker 1: News I think was Fox and Friends. I may be
- 6:41Speaker 1: wrong on that. This is Ron pushing back on Kambala Harris.
- 6:47Speaker 1: You want to talk about dropping the hammer on somebody.
- 6:50Speaker 3: And so for Kamala Harris to try to say that
- 6:53Speaker 3: my sole focus on the people of Florida is somehow
- 6:57Speaker 3: selfish is delusional. She has no role in this. In fact,
- 7:02Speaker 3: she's been vice president for three and a half years.
- 7:05Speaker 3: I've dealt with a number of storms under this administration.
- 7:08Speaker 3: She has never tell him her contributed anything of any
- 7:11Speaker 3: of these efforts.
- 7:12Speaker 1: And then oh, this is a two parter, guys. I
- 7:14Speaker 1: know it's long, but it's worth it. And then he
- 7:16Speaker 1: gets even more worked up because the follow up question
- 7:18Speaker 1: I don't know who it was on Fox, but good job,
- 7:20Speaker 1: because they did you know, they did a good job
- 7:21Speaker 1: revving them up a little bit more like, you know,
- 7:23Speaker 1: if he's on a roll, so you want to keep
- 7:25Speaker 1: them going. So you follow up with a question like,
- 7:27Speaker 1: has she even called you Ron, what's up with that?
- 7:31Speaker 3: Trying to blunder into this. No, and here's she has
- 7:35Speaker 3: no role. No, she has no role in this process.
- 7:40Speaker 3: I'm in contact with the President of the United States,
- 7:42Speaker 3: I'm in contact with FEMA director. I'm obviously managing all
- 7:46Speaker 3: our state agencies. We're supporting all our local government. And
- 7:49Speaker 3: I will say this, I've had storms under both President
- 7:52Speaker 3: Trump and President Biden. Yeah, I've worked well with both
- 7:55Speaker 3: of them. She's the first one who's trying to politicize
- 7:59Speaker 3: the storm, and she's doing that just because of her campaign.
- 8:04Speaker 3: She's trying to get some type of an edge. She
- 8:06Speaker 3: knows she's doing poorly.
- 8:07Speaker 1: He wrapped that up. It's a little it's a little
- 8:09Speaker 1: too long to play. But he wrapped it up by saying,
- 8:11Speaker 1: I don't have time for this. That's where he's really
- 8:15Speaker 1: good and not having it. And we'll see, you know,
- 8:18Speaker 1: first and foremost are concerned is for the people in
- 8:21Speaker 1: the West coast of Florida and Inland. But secondly, let's
- 8:24Speaker 1: see how she responds to this one. This time didn't
- 8:26Speaker 1: go well with Eleen. It still doesn't go well, so
- 8:28Speaker 1: we'll see what happens with that. Speaking of dropping the hammer,
- 8:32Speaker 1: it's not gonna be all politics here. But in fact,
- 8:34Speaker 1: I don't think this is a political story. I think
- 8:36Speaker 1: this is a media story. What got into CBS? Did
- 8:41Speaker 1: you see the sixty minutes interview with Kamala one? Am?
- 8:45Speaker 1: I asking? Probably not, because very few people even watched
- 8:47Speaker 1: sixty minutes anymore. So I totally get it, and I
- 8:49Speaker 1: didn't watch it live either. The takeaway is not her response.
- 8:52Speaker 1: You can guess that. The takeaway is they actually asked
- 8:57Speaker 1: her real questions. How sad is it these days that
- 8:59Speaker 1: we're at shocked that a media outlet like it's not
- 9:02Speaker 1: the old Mike Wallace days on CBS, you know, when
- 9:04Speaker 1: they actually ask real questions. These days were well what's
- 9:07Speaker 1: going on there? That's amazing? Wow, real journalism. Now two
- 9:11Speaker 1: possibilities here's one and this actually may be a thing
- 9:15Speaker 1: the Harris campaign, without her knowing, may have said to CBS,
- 9:20Speaker 1: maybe she'll hit it out of the park. Feel free
- 9:22Speaker 1: to ask her real questions. This guy, Bill Whittaker, he's
- 9:25Speaker 1: doing the he's doing the interview. He's a good journalist.
- 9:28Speaker 1: Feel free to ask her questions. That may be one possibility.
- 9:31Speaker 1: The other possibility may remember this is on CBS, right,
- 9:34Speaker 1: They're just coming off that disastrous vice presidential debate where
- 9:38Speaker 1: most of the country, even Independence and Democrats, said oh yeah,
- 9:42Speaker 1: that was three on one. I mean, they tried to
- 9:44Speaker 1: gang up on JD. Evans, but he did very well.
- 9:47Speaker 1: That's a possibility too. Regardless how it all came out,
- 9:51Speaker 1: was pretty amazing. You want us if we look back,
- 9:55Speaker 1: maybe if we look back and we see the kamalasts
- 9:57Speaker 1: campaign fell apart, I swear already, you guys, this may
- 10:00Speaker 1: be the moment. He asked her about the border crisis.
- 10:03Speaker 1: Her response is one thing, it's the question that really
- 10:07Speaker 1: is the shocking thing.
- 10:08Speaker 2: And solutions are at hand, and from day one, literally
- 10:13Speaker 2: we have been offering solutions.
- 10:15Speaker 3: What I was asking was, was it a mistake to
- 10:19Speaker 3: kind of allow that flood to happen in the first place.
- 10:23Speaker 2: I think the policies that we have been proposing are
- 10:27Speaker 2: about fixing a problem, not promoting a problem.
- 10:30Speaker 1: Okay, but the numbers did quadruple and.
- 10:33Speaker 2: The numbers today because of what we have done, we
- 10:37Speaker 2: have cut the flow of illegal immigration by half. Should
- 10:41Speaker 2: we have done the offentl by half? But we need
- 10:47Speaker 2: Congress to be able to act to actually fix the problem.
- 10:52Speaker 1: Followed up with first of all, when was the last
- 10:55Speaker 1: time you heard an interviewer of any of them actually
- 11:00Speaker 1: say what I was asking? Was you never hear that anymore?
- 11:03Speaker 1: To me? The story there is what gun end the seat?
- 11:06Speaker 1: That would be great. Can you imagine if we had
- 11:08Speaker 1: a real free press that actually held everybody, Republicans and
- 11:11Speaker 1: Democrats and everybody held them to the carpet and got
- 11:14Speaker 1: some real answers instead of this propaganda press we have
- 11:16Speaker 1: these days, that would be phenomenal. Of all the questions
- 11:20Speaker 1: he asked, and there were a lot of them, I mean,
- 11:22Speaker 1: he asked about the border, the economy, why you flip
- 11:24Speaker 1: flop on so many things? He actually said at one point, well,
- 11:28Speaker 1: there's one reason why Americans may not trust you. They
- 11:31Speaker 1: may not know you because you flip flop. And then
- 11:33Speaker 1: he brought up all the issues she flip flopped on.
- 11:35Speaker 1: It was like phenomenal. I wish I watched it live,
- 11:38Speaker 1: May rewatch it again, I don't know, but here is
- 11:40Speaker 1: the most revealing moment of all those topics. Of all
- 11:42Speaker 1: of them, the most revealing of all was the gun thing.
- 11:47Speaker 1: Remember she said I don't know which one it was
- 11:48Speaker 1: where she said I have a hit Tim Walls and
- 11:51Speaker 1: I are gun owners. Well, he actually followed up on
- 11:54Speaker 1: that as well. This is the moment where she squirmed
- 11:57Speaker 1: the most. Her most uncomfortable moment was talking about the glock.
- 12:00Speaker 2: That's not the first time I've talked about it.
- 12:01Speaker 1: So what kind of guns you own? And when and
- 12:03Speaker 1: why did you get it?
- 12:05Speaker 2: I have a clock. I've had it for quite some time,
- 12:09Speaker 2: and I mean, Lookville, my background is in law enforcement,
- 12:15Speaker 2: and so there you go. Have you ever fired it? Yes,
- 12:21Speaker 2: of course I have at a shooting range.
- 12:24Speaker 1: Yes, of course I have. Of course. Nervous laughter, she
- 12:30Speaker 1: was squirming. I know we don't have the visual and
- 12:32Speaker 1: this is mostly an audio presentation here, but man, you
- 12:35Speaker 1: got to see the squirm and the nervous laughter. It's like, now,
- 12:38Speaker 1: I listen, I've taken a lot of heat for this before.
- 12:40Speaker 1: I've publicly said I think she has a drinking problem,
- 12:43Speaker 1: and she still may. That one right there, she was
- 12:45Speaker 1: totally sober, and that was like imposter syndrome. That was
- 12:48Speaker 1: Oh he caught me, of course I have. She tries
- 12:51Speaker 1: to turn the tables in your question is preposterous. Wow,
- 12:58Speaker 1: more of that CBS mainstream please. All right, let's get
- 13:01Speaker 1: out of that crap for a second here and talk
- 13:03Speaker 1: about something a little bit lighter. I think Amazon Prime
- 13:06Speaker 1: Day all kinds of deals to be had throughout the country.
- 13:08Speaker 1: This is a big, big deal, all right. I'm just
- 13:11Speaker 1: gonna say it. And maybe I missed it now Amazon,
- 13:14Speaker 1: despite the and there really are deals to be had
- 13:16Speaker 1: here for the consumer. There really are. I means like
- 13:19Speaker 1: I have my house, there is a mountain of Amazon
- 13:22Speaker 1: boxes living with all women every single day. It's like
- 13:25Speaker 1: our life depends on it these days. And it really
- 13:27Speaker 1: has changed the retail situation in the face of merchandising
- 13:32Speaker 1: in the country. And I totally get that. And there
- 13:34Speaker 1: are deep deals to had, especially on electronics today. I
- 13:38Speaker 1: may have missed it, but it went on Amazon a
- 13:40Speaker 1: little bit earlier before we started the live stream in
- 13:42Speaker 1: the podcast. Is there any is there any Hurricane storm
- 13:48Speaker 1: benefit coming from Amazon? And there may be there may
- 13:51Speaker 1: be some kind of driver or a private thing, and
- 13:52Speaker 1: I may have missed it, but despite the fact there
- 13:55Speaker 1: are deep discounts. They make billions off of these prime
- 13:58Speaker 1: days Amazon prime bills. You think they could kick in
- 14:02Speaker 1: a little. It would be amazing if Amazon became an
- 14:05Speaker 1: outlet for donation, belief for victims of Helene and God forbid,
- 14:11Speaker 1: Big Milton that's coming here to the Florida West coast.
- 14:14Speaker 1: Just saying, just throwing that out there. Maybe if we
- 14:16Speaker 1: all kind of get together and ask Bezos to do that.
- 14:19Speaker 1: Come on, Bezos, get on the stick, get off your
- 14:22Speaker 1: hot wife, and help out your fellow Americans for God's sake.
- 14:26Speaker 1: Speaking of electronics, well, I think I found the issue
- 14:29Speaker 1: that's dividing the nation. Everybody we thought for the whole
- 14:32Speaker 1: time was conservatives, Republicans, Democrats, Republicans. No, no, no, what's
- 14:37Speaker 1: dividing the country his iPhone versus android. Listen to this
- 14:41Speaker 1: study and they interviewed a lot of people apparently for this,
- 14:45Speaker 1: and twenty two percent of people with iPhones I'm one
- 14:47Speaker 1: of them, I've got mine here admit that they look
- 14:51Speaker 1: down on Android users. Twenty three percent of those people
- 14:55Speaker 1: said they'd never date one. Wow. Twenty two admit that
- 15:00Speaker 1: they think less of somebody if they see that green
- 15:03Speaker 1: text Bubble come through twenty three percent, Like I said,
- 15:07Speaker 1: claim they'd never dated an Android user. And first I
- 15:09Speaker 1: saw this and I said, well, that's well, that's kind
- 15:11Speaker 1: of sad. I mean, that's like, that's really snobby. And
- 15:14Speaker 1: I talk about a little bit more, and I said,
- 15:15Speaker 1: wait a minute, what are some of the other things
- 15:17Speaker 1: that people will discount somebody on on a date. You
- 15:20Speaker 1: wouldn't date a non smoker, right, You wouldn't date somebody
- 15:22Speaker 1: that A lot of people won't date somebody that has
- 15:24Speaker 1: a different sports team preference. So, actually, come to think
- 15:28Speaker 1: about it, this kind of makes sense. It's a big
- 15:31Speaker 1: lifestyle thing. This is the electronic leash. We all rely
- 15:34Speaker 1: on our phones. People have dumped people for less. And
- 15:38Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, why is this still a thing?
- 15:40Speaker 1: I'm an iPhone user. I have a lot of friends
- 15:42Speaker 1: who are Android users. Why to this day do they
- 15:45Speaker 1: still not see my text or vice first and they
- 15:47Speaker 1: still get the little or they'll get the little box
- 15:49Speaker 1: sometimes if I send them an emoji and they don't
- 15:51Speaker 1: get it. Why is that still a thing? Would have
- 15:54Speaker 1: happened if Steve Jobs is still around, I tell you
- 15:56Speaker 1: that much. All right, thanks for finding the live stream
- 15:58Speaker 1: I'm out of material. I gotta get going. And this
- 16:01Speaker 1: will live as always on a post on x and
- 16:04Speaker 1: on YouTube, and the audio version of the podcast posts
- 16:07Speaker 1: right after the show usually before nine am Eastern time,
- 16:11Speaker 1: every single day on Apple Speaking to Them podcasts, and
- 16:15Speaker 1: on Spotify. Appreciate your time so much, you're really doing.
- 16:17Speaker 1: Sharing that along really means a lot. And just you remember,
- 16:20Speaker 1: even though we like to joke around about this stuff,
- 16:21Speaker 1: it's no laughing matter with this storm, this Milton storm.
- 16:24Speaker 1: Keep an eye on it, and I think it's going
