- 1:39Speaker 2: I said um. What do you think that's going to be?
- 1:42Speaker 3: I don't know, but it sounded like the precursor to
- 1:44Speaker 3: good news.
- 1:44Speaker 4: But I know you immediately assumed it was something good
- 1:48Speaker 4: and hopeful.
- 1:49Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. Jack, because we're positive people, Jack. That's how
- 1:52Speaker 2: you judge the breath. I judge the breath of like, oh,
- 1:54Speaker 2: this is bad news. I took bad news from your own. Oh,
- 1:58Speaker 2: Deb was right. Edward, 6 p.m. winner yesterday. Yay! Edward!
- 2:05Speaker 2: On the books! On the books! Everybody that's not Edward,
- 2:10Speaker 2: super pissed. Yeah. And not on the books. Therefore, we
- 2:14Speaker 2: move forward. How are you guys doing today on a Thursday?
- 2:16Speaker 2: It was pretty cool. And that means, like, someone got
- 2:18Speaker 2: paid listening to Ross Thoughts, which I wish everyone did.
- 2:21Speaker 2: I know. Yeah, same. Now, honestly, I can make an
- 2:24Speaker 2: argument that you should. Yeah, yeah, I agree 100%. Big
- 2:27Speaker 2: show coming out to Melbourne this weekend. Grab your tickets, rosscomedy.com.
- 2:30Speaker 2: The 14 Sketches is catching on. It's sketching on. It's
- 2:33Speaker 2: sketching on. So clever. Should have been in marketing. And
- 2:37Speaker 2: a friendly reminder, this is why you don't see a
- 2:39Speaker 2: lot of two-man sketch shows. I don't know if the
- 2:41Speaker 2: juice is worth the squeeze. It's so much more work
- 2:45Speaker 2: than what I'm accustomed to when it comes to stand-up comedy,
- 2:48Speaker 2: just showing up with a beer and not having to
- 2:51Speaker 2: worry about, I don't know, blocking or anything that makes
- 2:55Speaker 2: the show good. Yeah. All right, 407-916.
- 2:56Speaker 4: Oh, it's almost like Ross has a real job. 1041,
- 2:59Speaker 4: text us.
- 3:02Speaker 2: Hurts.
- 3:02Speaker 5: 77031.
- 3:03Speaker 2: Man, this Kelly Clarkson thing continues on, doesn't it?
- 3:06Speaker 3: It certainly does.
- 3:07Speaker 2: Oh, what happened now?
- 3:08Speaker 6: No, no, no.
- 3:08Speaker 2: Let me tell you what's happening. The parent's real. Let
- 3:09Speaker 2: me tell you what's happening. What's happening is the guy
- 3:12Speaker 2: who owns and runs this place is serving up a
- 3:15Speaker 2: master class in how to deal with a situation just
- 3:19Speaker 2: like this with a massive star coming down, bringing the
- 3:23Speaker 2: entire audience. This guy is serving. Kelly Clarkson, every single day,
- 3:29Speaker 2: every major company that has an IT, not an IT,
- 3:32Speaker 2: but an HR department should go and read every statement
- 3:35Speaker 2: that this guy from this art of the art of
- 3:37Speaker 2: play story is releasing. This guy is absolutely handling the situation. What, what?
- 3:44Speaker 4: So what did he do in the past 24 hours
- 3:47Speaker 4: to really move it forward for him?
- 3:49Speaker 2: Well, I'm trying to find the quotes now because I
- 3:52Speaker 2: brought the story up. It's just some of the quotes
- 3:54Speaker 2: that he said. I'll tell you exactly what he said.
- 3:55Speaker 2: He said, look, he goes, we have gotten so much
- 4:01Speaker 2: reaction from this. And it actually makes me feel a
- 4:04Speaker 2: little bad for Kelly Clarkson. Oh, he said that. And
- 4:07Speaker 2: the reason why is. Just being mentioned by a celebrity
- 4:11Speaker 2: has made our lives this much more hectic. Could you
- 4:14Speaker 2: imagine living as Kelly Clarkson? Like turning it around on her,
- 4:19Speaker 2: but in a way that's not violent. And showing empathy.
- 4:23Speaker 2: Being empathetic because I feel sorry for her because I
- 4:25Speaker 2: couldn't imagine dealing with the attention of being Kelly Clarkson
- 4:29Speaker 2: when I'm only seeing a fraction of it and it's overwhelming.
- 4:32Speaker 2: Like this guy is ruling this thing. He's rising above it.
- 4:36Speaker 2: Oh my God, it's so good. Oh, that is a
- 4:38Speaker 2: nice move. If you haven't seen a video of the bird,
- 4:43Speaker 2: it's still worth a Google, man. That's one of the
- 4:44Speaker 2: greatest pieces of woodworking I think I've ever seen.
- 4:48Speaker 3: Yeah, I brought it up yesterday, but then I forgot
- 4:51Speaker 3: to look at it.
- 4:53Speaker 2: It looks like sorcery. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You wind
- 4:55Speaker 2: up this thing, and you spawn a bird. Oh, right, exactly,
- 5:00Speaker 2: and it just comes alive, and it's a clockmaker. There's
- 5:01Speaker 2: no power, right? Yeah, I didn't even see a clock
- 5:04Speaker 2: attached to it. I think it's just like the bird mechanism.
- 5:07Speaker 2: There's no clock. It was made by a clockmaker. In
- 5:09Speaker 2: other words, the mechanisms that drive it and move it
- 5:11Speaker 2: and stuff like that are kind of the same mechanisms
- 5:13Speaker 2: that make a clock stay in, or a watch or whatever,
- 5:15Speaker 2: you know? Yeah, it just makes me think, like, Geppetto
- 5:19Speaker 2: was real. That thing came to life.
- 5:22Speaker 3: Ooh, ooh, Jack has it on our fourth square there.
- 5:24Speaker 2: But is it any more different than a cuckoo clock?
- 5:28Speaker 2: That uses those weights that hang down to drive the
- 5:30Speaker 2: mechanisms to make the bird come out, do the cuckoo flap.
- 5:33Speaker 2: It's basically the same thing, is it not? It is. However,
- 5:36Speaker 2: a cuckoo clock, it just jumps out, probably flaps its wings. Yeah,
- 5:39Speaker 2: it does cuckoos for whatever hour it is. Everyone knows
- 5:42Speaker 2: this thing becomes a Pixar short. It takes life. It sings.
- 5:47Speaker 2: It moves. It moves one wing at a time. It
- 5:50Speaker 2: just becomes completely brought to life. It's one of the
- 5:52Speaker 2: coolest things I've seen. So at this store, though, as
- 5:55Speaker 2: of Tuesday, this guy says he hasn't heard a peep
- 5:57Speaker 2: from Kelly Clarkson's team from any of them, like PR, her,
- 6:01Speaker 2: her personal assistants, none of that stuff. And that's when
- 6:03Speaker 2: he said this. He goes, he expressed sympathy. He goes,
- 6:06Speaker 2: if it's this intense to just be mentioned by Kelly Clarkson,
- 6:10Speaker 2: imagine what it's like to be Kelly Clarkson every single day.
- 6:15Speaker 2: Then he said, when you have the money, the fame,
- 6:17Speaker 2: the platform, and the power, you can't try to squash
- 6:20Speaker 2: somebody like a bug and expect everybody just to give
- 6:22Speaker 2: you a pass. And then he kind of goes on.
- 6:25Speaker 2: I don't know. I saw this today. I'm like, after
- 6:27Speaker 2: reading about it, and we were right. I mean, these
- 6:29Speaker 2: guys are right. I had this backwards yesterday. People were like,
- 6:31Speaker 2: I think you have this wrong. After reading it, I
- 6:33Speaker 2: did have some aspects of it wrong. But after reading
- 6:35Speaker 2: it again today and then reading how the shop guy
- 6:37Speaker 2: is dealing with this, after no response, after she initially
- 6:40Speaker 2: lobbed that volley in there, amazing stuff.
- 6:43Speaker 3: Yeah, because again, it went from $ 15, 000 the day that
- 6:46Speaker 3: she looked at it last weekend to now being $ 15 million.
- 6:49Speaker 2: Yeah, and then he ends the story by saying, you know,
- 6:53Speaker 2: you could do a lot with $ 15 million. Kelly Clarkson
- 6:55Speaker 2: would know. As if to say, this chick has $ 15
- 6:59Speaker 2: million and she's bitching at me about a $ 15, 000 bird
- 7:02Speaker 2: in a tiny little shop in Brooklyn?
- 7:03Speaker 7: God.
- 7:05Speaker 2: I don't know. It's just kind of amazing. This whole
- 7:07Speaker 2: story has been kind of fun to watch. Well, the
- 7:09Speaker 2: one question I still have is that if it wasn't
- 7:11Speaker 2: for sale, why do we have a price tag on it? Yeah,
- 7:13Speaker 2: that is a weird thing. There's no question. I'm going
- 7:14Speaker 2: to laugh at the $ 15 million price tag because we're
- 7:18Speaker 2: all on the same page. That's somewhat of a trollish response, right?
- 7:22Speaker 2: Completely trollish response. Just making sure. Times are tough. Everything
- 7:27Speaker 2: is more expensive nowadays. Yeah, it is. Why not that? Eggs, milk,
- 7:31Speaker 2: mechanical birds. That actually works as a great show title.
- 7:37Speaker 2: Stick of butter. You're right. A gallon of milk.
- 7:39Speaker 3: Eggs, gas, mechanical bird.
- 7:41Speaker 2: Perfectly made mechanical bird. Have you seen the video of
- 7:44Speaker 2: this thing? Oh, my God, dude. Dude, I don't think
- 7:46Speaker 2: I can overhype it. Okay, hold on. I'm going to
- 7:48Speaker 2: go look at it right now. My God almighty. I
- 7:50Speaker 2: think the thing jumps. It jumps? It has like this.
- 7:53Speaker 2: They can't jump up and leave the platform. Dude, it's moving.
- 7:58Speaker 2: It looks like.
- 7:58Speaker 3: Still talking about the bird?
- 8:00Speaker 2: Somewhat. Both things are moving. It really likes it. It
- 8:03Speaker 2: turned me on. We can tell. Oh, wait. I felt
- 8:07Speaker 2: like a mechanical bird. Oh, I gotta see this thing
- 8:09Speaker 2: run now. Yeah, it is. I would spend, like... Probably
- 8:15Speaker 2: like a hundred bucks. I don't know. Not 15 mil?
- 8:19Speaker 2: Not 15 mil, but I think I would spend a
- 8:21Speaker 2: hundred bones on that little dancing bird. A hundred bucks?
- 8:23Speaker 2: You're drafting 15K.
- 8:25Speaker 1: I know.
- 8:25Speaker 2: I'm just saying that's my price. He was trying to
- 8:27Speaker 2: take you to the discount version. It was only two.
- 8:29Speaker 2: That's a hundred dollars more than I ever thought I
- 8:31Speaker 2: would spend on a mechanical bird. Bobby, this is no
- 8:34Speaker 2: just mechanical bird, dude. This is like a, you know,
- 8:36Speaker 2: like you're saying, it's a work of art. And I still,
- 8:39Speaker 2: the engineering behind that piece of art or piece of play,
- 8:44Speaker 2: I don't know what you want to call it. Oh, yeah.
- 8:47Speaker 2: That's amazing. It has the exact same mannerisms of a
- 8:50Speaker 2: bird like that because it's very jerky and twitchy. Yeah.
- 8:53Speaker 2: So there's like six or seven pistons that they wind up. Yeah.
- 8:57Speaker 8: Wow.
- 8:57Speaker 2: There are six or seven pistons. engines that bring to
- 9:01Speaker 2: life that damn bird. I get Kelly Clarkson's infatuation with it.
- 9:06Speaker 2: I like it, too. Well, she was only in the
- 9:07Speaker 2: store like five minutes. That's what makes it so crazy.
- 9:09Speaker 2: The entire thing, all this brouhaha comes with her only
- 9:14Speaker 2: being in the store for like a few minutes.
- 9:16Speaker 3: I liked your extended brouhaha.
- 9:18Speaker 2: God, there's one swing. Huge swing and a miss, though,
- 9:22Speaker 2: from the store owner. He should have started off his
- 9:24Speaker 2: response with, since you've been gone. Aww.
- 9:27Speaker 9: Aww.
- 9:29Speaker 2: Oh, dude. That's actually really good. Things have not really
- 9:33Speaker 2: gone that way. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that he's
- 9:35Speaker 2: going to profit handsomely from all this new attention to
- 9:39Speaker 2: our employee.
- 9:40Speaker 3: Well, now, at the same time, though, he said that
- 9:42Speaker 3: his shop has been hassled, his employees have been hassled,
- 9:45Speaker 3: even the people that live around the shop. have been
- 9:48Speaker 3: hassled by protesters.
- 9:50Speaker 2: Protesters? By protesters, yeah. What are they protesting?
- 9:53Speaker 3: People are on the side of Kelly Clarkson are out
- 9:56Speaker 3: there giving this guy shop and his employees hell.
- 9:58Speaker 2: She should be ashamed of that.
- 10:00Speaker 10: Oh, wait.
- 10:00Speaker 3: He's got it on the fourth box.
- 10:02Speaker 2: She's like, go home. Dude, I love this headline.
- 10:04Speaker 3: Oh, so you wind it up.
- 10:05Speaker 2: Okay, good. Look at this thing. This headline, Kelly Clarkson
- 10:08Speaker 2: has put us in danger. Yeah, that's what he said.
- 10:10Speaker 2: That's the great part. That's the greatest t-shirt of all time.
- 10:14Speaker 2: If they don't pick a t-shirt and sell that thing
- 10:16Speaker 2: from that shop, they're dumb. That should be like day one.
- 10:20Speaker 2: They should be like, Art of Play, Kelly Clarkson put
- 10:23Speaker 2: us in danger. Am I tripping, Jack? Look at that thing.
- 10:25Speaker 2: It's pretty cool. Yeah, right? Thank you. Point made. Yeah,
- 10:30Speaker 2: that thing is bananas. It is. The mannerisms are so
- 10:33Speaker 2: absolutely point on.
- 10:35Speaker 3: What a great talking piece at the entrance of your home.
- 10:38Speaker 2: And I just think it's so wild that it has
- 10:40Speaker 2: all of that engineering and all of this hard work
- 10:44Speaker 2: right underneath the animatronic bird. And the bird is like
- 10:47Speaker 2: two inches. Yeah, it's tiny, right? It's so tiny. The
- 10:50Speaker 2: meticulous crafting of this thing must have been probably 15
- 10:55Speaker 2: grand worth. Probably took me like four or five hours
- 10:57Speaker 2: to build that thing. That's a joke. Easy. Well, you
- 11:01Speaker 2: just think it may have taken four to five hours
- 11:03Speaker 2: after a lifelong of working on stuff like that. You
- 11:06Speaker 2: get the feeling that's like a three or four or
- 11:08Speaker 2: six-month project there, maybe even longer. Who knows?
- 11:11Speaker 3: Well, the years, of course, to develop that level of skill.
- 11:14Speaker 2: Yeah, no joke. And it makes noise. Oh, does it really?
- 11:16Speaker 2: It chirps.
- 11:18Speaker 3: If we could afford it, we would know it to
- 11:20Speaker 3: get Ross for Christmas.
- 11:21Speaker 9: Yeah, man. Wow.
- 11:24Speaker 2: It's got a hurt song in the background. It's got hurts.
- 11:27Speaker 2: They're singing together. Look at that thing.
- 11:28Speaker 10: Crazy.

- 13:15Speaker 1: It's time for JCS News.
- 13:18Speaker 7: Wow.
- 13:20Speaker 1: Has this guy got to put his name on everything?
- 13:21Speaker 2: It's in my contract, dude.
- 13:23Speaker 1: Here's the news on The Jim Colbert Show.
- 13:26Speaker 3: And JCS News is brought to you by that mortgage guy, Don.
- 13:29Speaker 3: A right of dispute over an engagement ring led to
- 13:32Speaker 3: one of Florida's most haunting missing persons cases. Nearly 15
- 13:36Speaker 3: years later, Dale Smith Jr. arrested in the disappearance of
- 13:39Speaker 3: his former fiancée, 33-year-old Michelle Parker, in Orlando. Orlando Police
- 13:44Speaker 3: Detective Phillip McMicken says investigators found that Smith had made
- 13:48Speaker 3: conflicting statements.
- 13:49Speaker 2: Very specific questions were asked of him numerous times over
- 13:53Speaker 2: the years. where he gave different answers to those same questions.
- 13:57Speaker 3: Now, Parker vanished in 2011, in November 2011, shortly, I think,
- 14:02Speaker 3: the day the two appeared on the people's court. Her
- 14:05Speaker 3: body has never been found. Now, he was named the
- 14:07Speaker 3: prime suspect weeks after her death, but Orlando's police chief
- 14:11Speaker 3: says they didn't have the forensic tools back then that
- 14:13Speaker 3: they do now. Still waiting to hear was... I know
- 14:16Speaker 3: they've gathered more evidence from computers, cell phones, vehicles. Smith,
- 14:20Speaker 3: who shares two children with Parker, now faces a second-degree
- 14:23Speaker 3: murder charge. He entered a written plea of not guilty
- 14:26Speaker 3: in his first court appearance today. He also remains held
- 14:29Speaker 3: without bond at the Orange County Jail. And I did
- 14:32Speaker 3: not realize this. Although he did leave the state of
- 14:35Speaker 3: Florida for a while, I think moving to Tennessee, he
- 14:38Speaker 3: has since moved back. He was arrested here in Central Florida.
- 14:41Speaker 3: I did not know that either. And what makes it
- 14:43Speaker 3: so sad is that At least on Channel 9, they
- 14:46Speaker 3: talked to her dad, Brad, and he just broke down
- 14:49Speaker 3: in tears because, you know, they haven't seen her two
- 14:52Speaker 3: children since they were three years old. And that's I mean,
- 14:56Speaker 3: they're now 18 year old adults. So he's hoping now
- 14:59Speaker 3: with this new story with their father that they're going
- 15:02Speaker 3: to reach out and maybe like reconnect because I'm sure
- 15:05Speaker 3: they weren't told much about them.
- 15:06Speaker 2: Well, and think about all the time it's passed. 15 years.
- 15:09Speaker 2: He's controlled the entire narrative the entire time. Exactly.
- 15:13Speaker 3: And now what? And these four kids think of the
- 15:15Speaker 3: confusion they must be feeling.
- 15:16Speaker 2: Unbelievable. Imagine any of their first dates for the rest
- 15:19Speaker 2: of their life. Oh, my God.
- 15:20Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely. It's yeah. So we'll continue to bring updates
- 15:26Speaker 3: as that happens. Meanwhile, two women have filed a federal
- 15:28Speaker 3: civil lawsuit accusing former Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz and two
- 15:33Speaker 3: others of participating in an alleged sex trafficking scheme involving.
- 15:37Speaker 3: Young women, drugs, traveling across state lines.
- 15:40Speaker 2: All the fun stuff.
- 15:40Speaker 3: Yeah, these allegations just continue to bog this man.
- 15:44Speaker 2: Boys will be boys.
- 15:46Speaker 3: Yeah, they're like the sticky booger of his life, right?
- 15:48Speaker 2: Think about the fall this guy's taken over the last
- 15:50Speaker 2: just three years. It's pretty amazing. It has. This guy
- 15:53Speaker 2: was a relatively powerful mover in the MAGA movement not
- 15:56Speaker 2: even three years ago. Now this guy's– I don't even
- 15:57Speaker 2: know what station. Is it OAN? Is that where he
- 16:00Speaker 2: is now or one of these crazy– I'd assume.
- 16:02Speaker 3: I think it is.
- 16:03Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 16:03Speaker 3: Well, the 44-year-old Gates was a conservative Republican congressman from
- 16:07Speaker 3: the Florida panhandle who was Donald Trump's original choice as U.S.
- 16:11Speaker 3: Attorney General for the president's second term. And, of course,
- 16:14Speaker 3: the high-profile sex scandal led Gates to resign from Congress
- 16:17Speaker 3: in 2024, just as the bipartisan House Ethics Committee agreed.
- 16:23Speaker 3: was in the final stages of an investigation into his
- 16:26Speaker 3: alleged misconduct.
- 16:27Speaker 2: That's called a preemptive move. Yeah, it is. Sometimes when
- 16:31Speaker 2: I look at Matt Gaetz, I just think, guys, we've
- 16:33Speaker 2: got to be smarter than this. Because if it quacks
- 16:36Speaker 2: like a duck, right? He is all of the duck.
- 16:38Speaker 2: He looks like the epitome of an evil person.
- 16:41Speaker 6: He does.
- 16:42Speaker 2: He looks like the bad guy in 80s movies that
- 16:45Speaker 2: take out the rec center. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
- 16:48Speaker 3: Those thin lips and that pointy nose.
- 16:50Speaker 2: Yeah, he's butthead. He's butthead.
- 16:52Speaker 3: And, you know, it's amazing. His dad, right, first ran
- 16:55Speaker 3: for office up in the Panhandle.
- 16:57Speaker 11: Sure.
- 16:57Speaker 2: He's a legend up there. Exactly.
- 16:59Speaker 3: And then retired. He is currently serving, again, the Elder Gates.
- 17:03Speaker 3: So it's amazing. He has been doing, I think, some
- 17:06Speaker 3: fairly good things for the Florida Panhandle. And yet his
- 17:08Speaker 3: son has been nothing but an abject, this kind of
- 17:11Speaker 3: news story.
- 17:12Speaker 2: By the way, worst game in the world for teenage
- 17:15Speaker 2: girls is Elder Gate. Yeah. Okay, that was a little
- 17:19Speaker 2: video game reference right there. I was just going to
- 17:22Speaker 2: go with microwave Jimmy Neutron. I like that. Eldergate's way better.
- 17:27Speaker 2: I think, yeah, absolutely. Don't play Eldergate. The guy by
- 17:31Speaker 2: the cave is super creepy. You know, the one with
- 17:34Speaker 2: the forehead.
- 17:34Speaker 3: That never ends. Is this an.
- 17:36Speaker 2: Elden Ring reference? Yeah, it is, buddy. All right, man.
- 17:40Speaker 3: You just made his day between that and the bird.
- 17:42Speaker 2: I'm going on a Thursday and go drinking. What are
- 17:44Speaker 2: you saying? I'm going to go happy cry.
- 17:47Speaker 3: Two detainees are back in custody after being mistakenly released.
- 17:52Speaker 3: From Deportation Depot over the weekend.
- 17:56Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 17:56Speaker 3: The state's Division of Emergency Management blamed an administrative error
- 18:00Speaker 3: for bonding out the undocumented immigrants from the facility near Jacksonville.
- 18:05Speaker 3: Officials confirmed both individuals were quickly recaptured. And an internal
- 18:09Speaker 3: review is underway to address the incident.
- 18:12Speaker 2: Now, did Jacksonville burn down since they were out in
- 18:14Speaker 2: the open for a couple hours? Is everything fine in Jacksonville?
- 18:17Speaker 3: Everything is fine.
- 18:18Speaker 2: Who's running the depot? Ernest? How can you mess up
- 18:22Speaker 2: that bad? I heard the guys at Regard and them
- 18:25Speaker 2: were playing Eldergate. I'm going to go back to that
- 18:27Speaker 2: all day, by the way. I don't care how many
- 18:30Speaker 2: laughs it gets. Actually, I hope it bombs.
- 18:32Speaker 3: All right, Florida's high court is processing final emergency appeals
- 18:36Speaker 3: today for death row inmate William Reeves. Ahead of his
- 18:39Speaker 3: scheduled execution next Tuesday, Reeves' defense attorneys are arguing a halt,
- 18:44Speaker 3: citing severe procedural failures regarding his combat-related PTSD. Meanwhile, state
- 18:51Speaker 3: Catholic bishops have formally petitioned Governor DeSantis for clemency.
- 18:55Speaker 6: Okay.
- 18:57Speaker 3: Florida can continue with its effort to protect kids online.
- 19:00Speaker 3: The federal appeals court ruled yesterday the state can proceed
- 19:03Speaker 3: with a law that prevents kids under 14 from using
- 19:06Speaker 3: social media. Those between 14 and 16 can only use
- 19:11Speaker 3: social media with parental permission. Groups representing social media companies
- 19:15Speaker 3: sued on the grounds that the law violated the First Amendment,
- 19:18Speaker 3: but the appeals court disagreed. So the legal battle may
- 19:21Speaker 3: not be over, though. A lawyer for one of the plaintiffs,
- 19:24Speaker 3: Net Choice, says they'll continue to fight to ensure Floridians'
- 19:28Speaker 3: rights to free expression online are protected.
- 19:31Speaker 2: And even the 14 and 16s, they have a limited
- 19:33Speaker 2: time they can spend per day, right? I do believe so, yeah.
- 19:36Speaker 2: Like a couple hours, two or three hours a day.
- 19:37Speaker 3: And again, amongst all of these lawsuits, you know, Uthmeyer
- 19:40Speaker 3: going after Instagram and Meta and saying, you know, turn
- 19:43Speaker 3: off the late night notifications. Don't show how many public
- 19:47Speaker 3: likes something gets.
- 19:48Speaker 2: No endless scrollings. No, yeah, exactly.
- 19:51Speaker 3: Nighttime limits to when kids can scroll when they should
- 19:54Speaker 3: be in bed getting ready for school. Well, Florida is,
- 19:57Speaker 3: like I said, taking another major online platform to court
- 20:00Speaker 3: over its protections for children. Appearing in Tampa, Attorney General
- 20:04Speaker 3: James Uthmeyer announced.
- 20:06Speaker 2: The story of Uth.
- 20:09Speaker 3: Announced a lawsuit accusing the company Discord of misleading families
- 20:14Speaker 3: about its safety measures and failing to adequately protect young users.
- 20:19Speaker 12: It's easy to talk anonymously, and adults can get in
- 20:22Speaker 12: with little to no age verification checks. Adults were able
- 20:27Speaker 12: to pretend to be kids, prey upon kids, and unfortunately,
- 20:30Speaker 12: in too many cases... physically sexually abused kids isn't discord
- 20:35Speaker 12: like the anarchist cookbook for a website kind of thing
- 20:38Speaker 12: i mean isn't that kind of what it's equal to
- 20:40Speaker 12: it's like literally an all-out everything no.
- 20:43Speaker 4: I don't believe so i don't know if it's all
- 20:46Speaker 4: out everything but it's not your grandma's face gotcha right
- 20:49Speaker 4: yeah so I think it can run a little hard
- 20:53Speaker 4: for groups. But every time Uthmeyer does something, I'm like, oh,
- 20:59Speaker 4: that was good. And I remember, oh, yeah, he also
- 21:02Speaker 4: was the architect of the whole Florida scandal.
- 21:04Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
- 21:05Speaker 3: Or going after the MLB and the NFL. And you'll
- 21:08Speaker 3: hear from Florida. The civil suit filed in Glades County
- 21:11Speaker 3: challenges Discord's age verification, content monitoring, and enforcement of its
- 21:16Speaker 3: safety policies. Discord says the lawsuit does not accurately reflect
- 21:20Speaker 3: its platform or safety investments, pointing to new age-related protections
- 21:25Speaker 3: and its cooperation with Florida law enforcement.
- 21:28Speaker 2: Kiss my ass. That's awesome. You knew this. Everyone knows it.
- 21:34Speaker 2: Everybody knows you knew it. Don't forget that we know
- 21:38Speaker 2: that they know this. And also pointing this out, and
- 21:41Speaker 2: this is kind of sad, but heads up, if that
- 21:44Speaker 2: means this entire generation, the COVID high school people, right?
- 21:48Speaker 2: If you graduated in the year 2020, you were the
- 21:51Speaker 2: last group of kids to have unfettered access, essentially, to
- 21:56Speaker 2: social media before the news broke. Hey, this is actually
- 21:59Speaker 2: breaking children's brains and their spirits and their hearts and
- 22:03Speaker 2: everything else. And that's not like one or two kids.
- 22:05Speaker 2: That's an entire generation of people that now will have
- 22:09Speaker 2: this weird like asterisk, I think, for a lot of
- 22:12Speaker 2: other people on the planet.
- 22:15Speaker 3: Well, the election is still nearly three weeks away. I
- 22:17Speaker 3: agree with you, Ross. But more than six hundred sixty
- 22:20Speaker 3: nine thousand Floridians have already returned vote by mail ballots. Now,
- 22:25Speaker 3: as of this morning, the state's division of election reports
- 22:28Speaker 3: about 287,000 ballots from Democrats, nearly 242,000 from Republicans, and
- 22:35Speaker 3: nearly 141,000 from outside the two major parties and voters
- 22:40Speaker 3: with no party affiliation. The deadline to request a mail
- 22:43Speaker 3: ballot is October 22nd. With early voting beginning October 24th.
- 22:48Speaker 3: Isn't that already like next week?
- 22:50Speaker 2: Yeah, it is.
- 22:50Speaker 4: By the way, Georgia broke a record, I believe, for
- 22:52Speaker 4: their mail-in ballot. You left out one group. How many
- 22:55Speaker 4: mail-in ballots from illegals?
- 22:59Speaker 2: It's a whole bunch. We don't want to get into it.
- 23:00Speaker 3: Early voting begins October 24th and runs through.
- 23:03Speaker 2: You guys keep burying the news. Yeah. You know, you libs.
- 23:07Speaker 3: And running through October 31st, Election Day is Tuesday, November 3rd.
- 23:12Speaker 3: Not a moment too soon. Florida's weather is about to change. But,
- 23:16Speaker 3: I mean.
- 23:17Speaker 2: Wait, good, bad, what? That moon could mean anything.
- 23:21Speaker 3: National Weather Service Ana Torres Vasquez says a high pressure
- 23:24Speaker 3: system is about to be replaced with instability.
- 23:28Speaker 13: Those chances for showers and thunderstorms increase substantially Saturday and
- 23:32Speaker 13: Sunday with the approach of a cold front right over
- 23:35Speaker 13: the peninsula on Saturday and with it to bring more
- 23:38Speaker 13: heavy rainfall.
- 23:39Speaker 3: Hopefully not. But she says the heavy rainfall could lead
- 23:41Speaker 3: to localized flooding. Now, adding the amount of rain is
- 23:44Speaker 3: going to depend on how quickly this cold front moves
- 23:46Speaker 3: through our area. Temperatures over the weekend expected to hover
- 23:49Speaker 3: around the mid 80s for the high, mid 70s for
- 23:53Speaker 3: a low with colder temps to the north in the
- 23:56Speaker 3: 50s overnight. We could be looking like. Sunday morning, waking
- 23:59Speaker 3: up to 65 degrees.
- 23:59Speaker 2: It's going to be cold, but it is going to
- 24:01Speaker 2: be rainy. I saw the radar today. It's wild because
- 24:04Speaker 2: like a lot of times this time of year, the
- 24:07Speaker 2: front stall right around Central Florida. So it means we'll
- 24:09Speaker 2: have an overcast, rainy for like two days or so.
- 24:14Speaker 3: Not like we're trying to launch drones Saturday at Mount Dora.
- 24:17Speaker 3: Don't worry about it.
- 24:18Speaker 2: It's fine.
- 24:19Speaker 4: I'm thinking of hitting Epic Universe on Saturday. Can you
- 24:22Speaker 4: do something about the rain there?
- 24:24Speaker 2: I'll make a call. Last blast, guys. I'll make a call.
- 24:27Speaker 3: A SpaceX Dragon capsule has arrived at the International Space
- 24:31Speaker 3: Station after launching from Cape Canaveral on Tuesday. The spacecraft
- 24:34Speaker 3: docked this morning, delivering more than 6,300 pounds of supplies, equipment,
- 24:39Speaker 3: and scientific experiments. The Dragon is expected to remain at
- 24:42Speaker 3: the ISS for about a month before splashing down in
- 24:45Speaker 3: the Pacific Ocean. Hey, if you're looking for some forever love,
- 24:50Speaker 3: you can adopt a pet for a discount at Orange County.
- 24:52Speaker 3: Animal Services launched a adoption special yesterday, and I do
- 24:56Speaker 3: mean special. You can take home a pet aged four
- 24:59Speaker 3: months or older for just $ 5.
- 25:02Speaker 2: Wow, I was going to say $ 10, and I thought
- 25:04Speaker 2: that was low.
- 25:05Speaker 3: I know, $ 5.
- 25:06Speaker 2: Wow.
- 25:07Speaker 3: And that includes spaying and neutering, vaccinations, microchip ID, deworming,
- 25:14Speaker 3: and a heartworm test for dogs six months or above.
- 25:17Speaker 3: The special runs through Sunday, right? What a great deal.
- 25:20Speaker 2: Yeah, unbelievable.
- 25:21Speaker 3: Because anyone knows it's cheap at the vet.
- 25:23Speaker 2: I know $ 5 is $ 5, but $ 5 for a pet,
- 25:27Speaker 2: that's free. Exactly. They covered your gas. That's all you
- 25:34Speaker 2: paid for. Maybe not even.
- 25:35Speaker 3: So another animal story. I thought this was fun. A
- 25:38Speaker 3: Polk County canine injured in a shooting has a new leg.
- 25:42Speaker 3: The sheriff's office announced yesterday Ace was given a prosthetic
- 25:45Speaker 3: this month. He lost one of his legs in a
- 25:47Speaker 3: shooting in the line of duty in August. West Coast
- 25:50Speaker 3: Brace and Limb in St. Petersburg donated the prosthetic. The
- 25:54Speaker 3: PCSO posted video on Facebook of Ace adjusting to his
- 25:58Speaker 3: new leg, and according to the post.
- 26:00Speaker 2: He loves it.
- 26:02Speaker 1: Good.
- 26:02Speaker 2: Is it bionic, though?
- 26:03Speaker 3: It's probably already peed on it. Mm-hmm.
- 26:06Speaker 4: I think that's technology that has not advanced far enough
- 26:09Speaker 4: since the mid-' 70s.
- 26:10Speaker 2: Oh, bionic limbs? Bionic, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
- 26:13Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good point, actually.
- 26:14Speaker 2: Steve Austin. Come on, let's go.
- 26:16Speaker 3: That is a good point.
- 26:17Speaker 2: One show. Just one show. Yeah. That's all that made
- 26:20Speaker 2: that happen. One show. All right.
- 26:23Speaker 3: Speaking of law enforcement, I could not believe this headline
- 26:26Speaker 3: when I saw this, but former Miami Heat star... Amare
- 26:30Speaker 3: Stoudemire is trading basketball, the basketball court, for a badge.
- 26:35Speaker 2: Oh, really?
- 26:35Speaker 11: What?
- 26:36Speaker 3: The six-time NBA All-Star graduated from the Police Academy yesterday.
- 26:41Speaker 2: Take that check.
- 26:43Speaker 3: And is preparing to join the Miami-Dade School's Police Department.
- 26:47Speaker 2: Wasn't he in a movie? Wasn't Stoudemire in the movie,
- 26:50Speaker 2: was it Hitch?
- 26:52Speaker 3: Oh, I don't know that one. But while you guys
- 26:54Speaker 3: look that up, the 43-year-old played 14 seasons in the NBA.
- 26:59Speaker 3: including his final season with the Heat in 2015-2016. He
- 27:03Speaker 3: was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame this year.
- 27:07Speaker 2: And this is Amari Stoudemire, Thunderdunk Stoudemire. He was in
- 27:11Speaker 2: that movie with Bill Hader. Trainwreck. Yeah, Trainwreck.
- 27:14Speaker 4: Yep, he's appeared as an actor and served as producer
- 27:17Speaker 4: in several films and television shows.

- 27:48Speaker 2: off of the photo alone he seems like he's proud
- 27:51Speaker 2: like oh absolutely take the the role responsible.
- 27:54Speaker 3: Absolutely another sports note uh this is something that uh
- 27:58Speaker 3: mike bianchi had wrote about today in the orlando sentinel
- 28:01Speaker 3: i was like oh that's a little harsh but then
- 28:03Speaker 3: reading in i was like yeah it's kind of a
- 28:05Speaker 3: thousands of seats are going empty at tropicana field during
- 28:09Speaker 3: the race first home american league championship series in nearly
- 28:14Speaker 3: two decades The team announced just over 32,000 fans for
- 28:19Speaker 3: Tuesday's Game 2 against Cleveland. That's down more than 3,000
- 28:23Speaker 3: fans from Monday's crowd. Some fans blamed the low attendance
- 28:27Speaker 3: on high and fluctuating ticket prices. Meanwhile, the Guardians will
- 28:32Speaker 3: host the Rays in a weather-related matinee. That series is
- 28:35Speaker 3: tied at one game apiece, and hopefully the Brewers will
- 28:38Speaker 3: be able to sweep the Dodgers.
- 28:39Speaker 4: Yeah, they moved that game up because of the weather
- 28:41Speaker 4: in Cleveland. But, you know, those two games where they
- 28:44Speaker 4: played the Yankees, they were over 40,000 in that stadium.
- 28:48Speaker 2: And you know what? Sorry, St.
- 28:50Speaker 4: Pete, you might have a lovely city. It sucks driving there.
- 28:54Speaker 3: Yeah, it does.
- 28:55Speaker 4: Especially from Orlando. Even people in Tampa don't want to
- 28:58Speaker 4: cross the bridge.
- 28:59Speaker 2: I think that was probably the best argument to bring
- 29:01Speaker 2: baseball closer to this area here. I mean, it doesn't
- 29:04Speaker 2: have to come all the way to Orlando, but getting
- 29:05Speaker 2: to St. Pete is a nightmare. They're literally cutting off
- 29:08Speaker 2: an entire customer base because people here simply don't want
- 29:11Speaker 2: to deal with the traffic over there. It's four hours
- 29:13Speaker 2: to get out of there.
- 29:14Speaker 6: Right.
- 29:15Speaker 2: By the Florida Fairgrounds. The worst, yes. The Hard Rock.
- 29:18Speaker 4: Yeah, that'd be great. Hard Rock Hotel there and the
- 29:21Speaker 4: Mid-Florida Crate Union Amphitheater.
- 29:22Speaker 2: Put it there. It's 90 minutes for us. Tampa can
- 29:25Speaker 2: get it, no problem. Sorry, St. Pete, you might have
- 29:28Speaker 2: to drive 45 minutes. But everybody else has had to. Yeah,
- 29:32Speaker 2: 45 people drive 45 minutes now. Yeah, we'll bust you.
- 29:35Speaker 3: All right, uh one more sports note university of miami

- 31:51Speaker 3: That sounds like a threat. You are going to get it.
- 31:53Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not coming out on the Switch. Right. Okay.
- 31:56Speaker 2: So if I got it for you for Christmas, do
- 31:57Speaker 2: you take it back?
- 31:58Speaker 9: No.
- 31:59Speaker 2: All right.
- 32:01Speaker 4: I'll be getting it, but I'm just, I'm not. I
- 32:04Speaker 4: wouldn't stand in any line for it, so to speak.
- 32:06Speaker 3: Do you think it's because of that whole you're not
- 32:08Speaker 3: going to be able to have the physical media and
- 32:10Speaker 3: you're going to like it aspect that people are like,
- 32:12Speaker 3: all right, fine, screw you. I'll get the game when
- 32:14Speaker 3: I get the game. You've completely robbed us.
- 32:16Speaker 4: It totally makes it pointless to do a pre-sale if
- 32:20Speaker 4: it's all digital download anyway.
- 32:21Speaker 2: It doesn't matter. Cool, you get the case. Yeah, exactly. Literally,
- 32:26Speaker 2: they're selling empty cases, which is mind-boggling. I mean, it's
- 32:31Speaker 2: not stupid. I just think it's... Well, and.
- 32:35Speaker 3: That's the stupidity of it, because in the end, just
- 32:37Speaker 3: like you guys are describing not being excited about the
- 32:40Speaker 3: game coming out, you know, they end up robbing their
- 32:43Speaker 3: own hype because of these decisions to make, because they
- 32:46Speaker 3: don't want you to have the physical. It's stupid to
- 32:48Speaker 3: spend the production money to make the box and not
- 32:50Speaker 3: give you the disc.
- 32:51Speaker 2: And the VIP package is like comes with everything except
- 32:54Speaker 2: the game. And it's like free hundo. It comes with
- 32:56Speaker 2: a live firearm. Yeah. From a crime scene.
- 33:01Speaker 3: Either way, that concludes your JCS News.
- 33:04Speaker 4: Did I leave?
- 33:05Speaker 2: I said it. <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL>
- 33:12Speaker 2: Or a 7916-1041-TX-77. Oh, my God. Zelda, man. It's not
- 33:17Speaker 2: the reign of time. It's mine. It's for the people
- 33:20Speaker 2: who got it. It was a Vice City story. I
- 33:21Speaker 2: did not know that you knew the theme to Eldergate.
- 33:24Speaker 2: I had no idea. Back with the football forecast right
- 33:29Speaker 2: after this.
- 33:32Speaker 15: You are right, sir.
- 33:33Speaker 2: It is time for the football forecast right here on
- 33:36Speaker 2: the Jim Colbert Show. This is where we pick the
- 33:39Speaker 2: games coming up this week. And then, of course, next
- 33:41Speaker 2: Tuesday for the football follow-up, we'll bring a listener up.
- 33:44Speaker 2: And they can find out or try to pick who
- 33:47Speaker 2: on the show had the best weekend in NFL picks.
- 33:50Speaker 2: I was triumphant last week.
- 33:52Speaker 3: Oh, for the first time.
- 33:55Speaker 2: Listen, you've got to start somewhere. He only had one
- 33:58Speaker 2: week last year, so he's done for the year. This
- 34:00Speaker 2: is the beginning of my domination. Naysaying fools. Fools! You
- 34:05Speaker 2: won once last year. Okay, dude, whatever. That's last year.
- 34:08Speaker 2: There's 17 weeks. Okay, and? And? That's worse than bad luck.
- 34:15Speaker 2: I had a lot going on. Usually, we'll start with
- 34:22Speaker 2: the teams that we like, and then we'll kind of
- 34:23Speaker 2: move on to some good matchups throughout the week. Let's
- 34:26Speaker 2: start with the Jaguars.
- 34:27Speaker 3: No, let's start with tonight's game.
- 34:29Speaker 2: No, no, let's not start with tonight's game. We'll save
- 34:31Speaker 2: that for later. Okay. The Texans going into, is this
- 34:34Speaker 2: another London game they're playing in Jacksonville? This one's in Jacksonville.
- 34:39Speaker 8: Oh, it is?
- 34:39Speaker 2: No, no, no. It says Sunday at 9.30 in the morning. Jacksonville? Yeah, yeah.
- 34:43Speaker 2: They're back in London, dude.
- 34:44Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah.
- 34:45Speaker 2: Yeah, they're in London. And if you don't know this,
- 34:47Speaker 2: the Jacksonville Jaguars are like 13,001. No, they're taking over Europe.
- 34:52Speaker 2: They're becoming like Europe's team. Are they really? All of England.
- 34:56Speaker 2: I love it. They have such a passionate fan base
- 34:59Speaker 2: over where the Three Lions play.
- 35:02Speaker 3: Well, I mean, you know, ShotKhan, he's English.
- 35:04Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah.
- 35:05Speaker 2: Well, they're going over to London again. It's a 9.30 a.m. game,
- 35:09Speaker 2: so Sunday you wake up, football in your face. I
- 35:11Speaker 2: got the Jags. Did they say they're all week? Yeah,
- 35:14Speaker 2: remember they had the two games there, and I think
- 35:16Speaker 2: somebody has to fly over, or the Texans had to
- 35:18Speaker 2: fly over.
- 35:18Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 35:19Speaker 2: Who'd they play last week over there? Ravens. Yeah, yeah.
- 35:21Speaker 16: Eagles.
- 35:22Speaker 2: Eagles. And with the greatest ending of a football game
- 35:26Speaker 2: I think I've ever seen. Pretty darn good, for sure.
- 35:28Speaker 2: I'm Jaguars. Jaguars. Yeah, let's go Jags. Are you also Jaguars?
- 35:32Speaker 13: Yeah.
- 35:36Speaker 2: I love doing it. All right, let's move on to the...
- 35:42Speaker 2: Isn't it funny, though, that England loves Jacksonville? Because, like,
- 35:45Speaker 2: anybody in Florida goes, Jacksonville? Yeah, yeah.
- 35:49Speaker 6: What?
- 35:49Speaker 2: So many other places for them to love. Steelers go
- 35:52Speaker 2: into Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay 1-4. Steelers 3-2. Although the
- 35:57Speaker 2: Steelers are a favorite in our little thing here. I'm
- 36:00Speaker 2: going to take the Bucs there. The Bucs looked pretty
- 36:01Speaker 2: good last week, and I think maybe this is the
- 36:03Speaker 2: week they turn it around and kind of start moving forward.
- 36:05Speaker 4: Is this the first time this season you're picking your
- 36:08Speaker 4: Tampa Bay Bucs?
- 36:09Speaker 2: No, I picked them last week and lost. No, they
- 36:11Speaker 2: beat Dallas last week. Then I picked Dallas last week
- 36:14Speaker 2: and lost.
- 36:16Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
- 36:17Speaker 2: This is the first time I picked them this year. Okay, yeah. Well,
- 36:19Speaker 2: they played Green Bay. Did you have them over Green Bay?
- 36:22Speaker 2: I can't remember. No, probably not. Yeah, I kind of
- 36:26Speaker 2: like I don't like the Bucs in this game. But
- 36:29Speaker 2: you know what? Home field to them isn't really an advantage.
- 36:31Speaker 2: That's the only bad thing about playing at home for Tampa.
- 36:33Speaker 2: It doesn't really matter to Tampa. They don't look at
- 36:35Speaker 2: it like that. And is it still the new kid quarterbacking? Yeah,
- 36:38Speaker 2: I think so, yeah. Or what's his face coming back?
- 36:40Speaker 2: I think it's still the kid. I'm good with names. Yeah, yeah. Yeah,
- 36:44Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield or the new kid. They throw the whatchamacallit. Yeah.
- 36:49Speaker 2: Daylon Daniels. I'm going Steelers. Steelers? Steelers. And it hurts
- 36:53Speaker 2: me to see. All right, now Bucs. Let's go Bucs. Yeah,
- 36:55Speaker 2: I like that. Bucs for sure. Let's move on. We're
- 36:57Speaker 2: on the Bucks bus. I think it was more the
- 36:59Speaker 2: Cowboys sucking for that win. Yeah, maybe so. Although they
- 37:03Speaker 2: look good. They look good. Their running game is good.
- 37:05Speaker 2: That's the only thing. Their running game is pretty good.
- 37:07Speaker 2: Bills go into Vegas to play the Raiders.
- 37:10Speaker 8: Go ahead.
- 37:12Speaker 4: You've done it the past two weeks. You guys have
- 37:14Speaker 4: mistakenly taken the team playing the Raiders. I'm the only
- 37:17Speaker 4: one taking the Raiders, and I will do it this week,
- 37:20Speaker 4: and I will warn you, just like I did the
- 37:21Speaker 4: past two weeks, you will lose.
- 37:23Speaker 2: I'm taking the Bills. Bills.
- 37:25Speaker 10: Bills.
- 37:26Speaker 2: There you go. Raiders. All right. Very good. Is Mendoza starting?
- 37:29Speaker 17: No.
- 37:30Speaker 2: He's on?
- 37:31Speaker 10: No.
- 37:32Speaker 2: Did you see him get stiff-armed? No. He got stiffed on.
- 37:35Speaker 2: He threw a pick, and then he gets absolutely just
- 37:39Speaker 2: rocked going for this guy. It was a huge welcome
- 37:42Speaker 2: to the NFL moment for the first-round pick. And then
- 37:46Speaker 2: the Cowboys go into Green Bay to play the Packers.
- 37:48Speaker 2: Packers 3-2. Cowboys 2-3. I like the Packers there. Deb,
- 37:53Speaker 2: do we need to bother? Behold the power of cheese.
- 37:55Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 37:56Speaker 2: Packers. Yeah, definitely. Yeah, Packers. They look like the team
- 38:01Speaker 2: we thought they were last week. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or
- 38:03Speaker 2: at least I thought they were. The Cowboys looked as
- 38:05Speaker 2: bad as you can look and get the box. Cowboys,
- 38:07Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 38:07Speaker 8: They look terrible.
- 38:07Speaker 4: They keep changing the coach and they still just underachieve.
- 38:11Speaker 2: This will be... My surprise of the week. I think
- 38:14Speaker 2: the Cowboys are going to win. Wow, there you go. Okay,
- 38:17Speaker 2: nothing wrong with that pick. And let's go to some
- 38:18Speaker 2: of the other. That's a direct assault to you, Deb. Nope,
- 38:20Speaker 2: don't take it personally. He's mad at you. We are
- 38:22Speaker 2: literally gambling. All right, some of the other tight games
- 38:25Speaker 2: that are. Technically. The Ravens go into Cleveland to play
- 38:30Speaker 2: the Browns.
- 38:32Speaker 3: I picked Ravens just because they're mean.
- 38:35Speaker 8: Yeah, Ravens.
- 38:35Speaker 2: Because they're mean?
- 38:36Speaker 3: Yeah. They're just mean. They're scrappy.
- 38:38Speaker 2: The bird or the team? Both. Ravens are smart birds. Very.
- 38:43Speaker 2: I got Ravens. Yeah, I got Ravens as well. I
- 38:45Speaker 2: like the Ravens. And then we'll do tonight's game. Seahawks
- 38:48Speaker 2: going into Denver to play the Broncos. Denver are a
- 38:50Speaker 2: dog here, I think. Both teams 3-2.
- 38:53Speaker 3: How much does a home field advantage matter with Denver?
- 38:57Speaker 2: For Denver, it really matters. Maybe it matters more than
- 39:01Speaker 2: any other. We talk about noise at home field. Like Seattle.
- 39:04Speaker 2: This is the physical part of the game. When you
- 39:06Speaker 2: go to play Denver, it's a mile high. The air
- 39:08Speaker 2: is thinner up there. Teams have a struggle sometimes playing
- 39:11Speaker 2: in Denver. I'm actually taking Denver here. I'm going Seahawks,
- 39:16Speaker 2: and it's a coin flip to me, though, because I
- 39:19Speaker 2: think Denver is one of those teams that they beat
- 39:21Speaker 2: anybody when they want to. Or they could lose to anybody. Yeah,
- 39:25Speaker 2: and that's been like that since I've been born. But
- 39:27Speaker 2: they're tough at home. They are tough at home.
- 39:29Speaker 4: They are and typically if i'm picking against seahawks it's
- 39:33Speaker 4: if they're on the road but seahawks lost last week
- 39:35Speaker 4: i see them bouncing back which is why i'm leaning
- 39:38Speaker 4: seattle Seattle.
- 39:40Speaker 2: Seattle, very good. All right, there's our football forecast. We'll
- 39:44Speaker 2: follow up next Tuesday for the football follow-up to find
- 39:46Speaker 2: out who had the best week, and then we'll award
- 39:48Speaker 2: a prize for the person who finds that winner.
- 39:51Speaker 3: Yeah, because last week's winner, the first guy, Wayne, picked you.
- 39:53Speaker 2: Right off rip. I would say that was a lucky
- 39:58Speaker 2: position that Wayne found himself in there. I'm going to
- 40:00Speaker 2: be honest. All right, let's take a little break. Back
- 40:02Speaker 2: with Chloe G right after this. Meanwhile.
- 40:09Speaker 18: On I-4, a potato chip truck is overturned.
- 40:13Speaker 2: Oh, boy. Expect delays. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
- 40:21Speaker 3: Oh, our guest did not like that.

- 41:42Speaker 2: this whole month, we're focused on the spooky. And you
- 41:44Speaker 2: told me an entire plate of spooky goodness today.
- 41:47Speaker 7: Almost.
- 41:47Speaker 17: Almost an entire plate of spooky. I have a lot
- 41:50Speaker 17: of spooky Halloween-y things going on. So I'll start us
- 41:54Speaker 17: off with an event tonight, actually. So there is a

- 42:30Speaker 2: of this guy's art, I saw some clips of it
- 42:32Speaker 2: throughout the week as this is being promoted. Pretty amazing stuff. Yeah,
- 42:35Speaker 2: there's lots of amazing stuff. I mean, really cool stuff.
- 42:38Speaker 2: And if you like that Dia de los Muertos thing
- 42:40Speaker 2: or whatever. Oh, so close.

- 47:04Speaker 2: In the game a minute, too. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
- 47:09Speaker 17: The Gala of Ghouls celebrates its three-year anniversary this weekend.
- 47:13Speaker 17: This is also on Saturday. It's an alternative drag night
- 47:17Speaker 17: that happens typically in Thornton Park, but this weekend it's
- 47:19Speaker 17: moving to Winter Park. They're saying it's a combo Halloween
- 47:23Speaker 17: and Pride-themed soiree with drag and burlesque performers. There's going
- 47:27Speaker 17: to be a fashion show, a scare trail, a costume contest,
- 47:31Speaker 17: and a seance. This is what they're saying.
- 47:33Speaker 2: Covers all your bases. Oh, yeah.
- 47:36Speaker 17: Anything you could want to do. And that is on
- 47:38Speaker 17: Saturday at 7 p.m. at the Conduit in Winter Park.
- 47:42Speaker 17: Tickets start at $ 17.
- 47:43Speaker 2: Okay. Pretty good.
- 47:46Speaker 17: Also, at the Conduit this weekend, everything's kind of connected
- 47:49Speaker 17: this weekend. Also at the Conduit. On Sunday, actually, Market
- 47:53Speaker 17: of the Beast is happening.
- 47:55Speaker 2: Market of the Beast is a great, great name. Kudos
- 48:00Speaker 2: to whoever thought of that, by the way.
- 48:02Speaker 17: So this is the spooky, very Halloween-appropriate arts and vendors
- 48:06Speaker 17: market that takes place at the Conduit every once in
- 48:09Speaker 17: a while. The market specializes in oddities, curiosities, strange sights
- 48:13Speaker 17: and sounds, and even esoteric eats and drinks. The organizers
- 48:18Speaker 17: say they like to prioritize more obscure goods and alternative artists.
- 48:22Speaker 8: Yeah, that's cool.
- 48:22Speaker 2: Like make really weird art.
- 48:23Speaker 6: Oh, yeah, yeah.
- 48:24Speaker 2: There's some taxidermy going on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Some Halloween-themed things.
- 48:28Speaker 2: When that thing, that esoteric thing, when that rolls through,
- 48:31Speaker 2: when they do that big show out at the campground
- 48:34Speaker 2: or the fairgrounds. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Dude, that is like
- 48:38Speaker 2: walking into a different dimension.
- 48:39Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 48:40Speaker 2: Going to that thing. No, it's very spooky. It's very weird.
- 48:43Speaker 17: A lot of unconventional art and just a strange vibe overall.
- 48:46Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 48:47Speaker 17: And it's at the Conduit in Winter Park on Sunday.
- 48:49Speaker 17: It kicks off at 5 p.m. and is free to attend.
- 48:53Speaker 2: Very good. Well, a lot of free stuff this week.
- 48:54Speaker 2: A lot of free stuff. The most I think we
- 48:56Speaker 2: can spend so far, 17 bucks.
- 48:58Speaker 7: Yep.
- 48:58Speaker 2: Yeah, right.
- 48:59Speaker 17: This last one isn't free, but it is pretty good.
- 49:01Speaker 17: So this is the last one. Your last chance to
- 49:04Speaker 17: see the Broadway hit Hamilton in Orlando.
- 49:07Speaker 2: Wow.
- 49:08Speaker 17: It plays at various times throughout the weekend at the
- 49:12Speaker 17: Walt Disney Theater inside the Dr. Phillips Center. It's the
- 49:16Speaker 17: Tony and Pulitzer Prize winning hip hop phenomenon. And tickets
- 49:22Speaker 17: start at $ 107 and then they kind of go up
- 49:25Speaker 17: and you're looking at those better seats.
- 49:27Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. That's what's going on. Yeah,
- 49:29Speaker 2: Jack's daughter already saw Hamilton twice. Jack saw it once.
- 49:32Speaker 2: A very popular show. And we have a, is this
- 49:34Speaker 2: the one that has the Orlando star in it, the guy?
- 49:37Speaker 4: No, Justin Sargent, he has played the role of King
- 49:39Speaker 4: George III in other cities, but not in Orlando.
- 49:44Speaker 2: He's an Orlando guy, though. Yeah, yeah, that's awesome. Yeah, yeah.
- 49:47Speaker 2: And that's what's going on this weekend. What are you
- 49:49Speaker 2: doing this weekend?
- 49:50Speaker 17: I really want to go to some of these events.
- 49:52Speaker 17: I'm going to go to Pride. I'm going to dance around,
- 49:55Speaker 17: wear my colorful whatever. You got a whole crew you
- 49:58Speaker 17: go with or you're all out there single, like solo?
- 50:00Speaker 17: I don't know yet. I'm going to rally the troops
- 50:02Speaker 17: and see what's going on. I really do want to
- 50:05Speaker 17: attend the Market of the Beast and just look at
- 50:06Speaker 17: weird stuff.
- 50:07Speaker 8: Oh, yeah.
- 50:07Speaker 2: It's so good. I'm telling you, when you go to
- 50:10Speaker 2: that one, when they do the big one at the fairgrounds,
- 50:13Speaker 2: you have to break yourself. I mean, there's some stuff
- 50:15Speaker 2: in there. Some of it's a little like, oh, this
- 50:16Speaker 2: is kind of gross. Some of it is absolutely. When
- 50:18Speaker 2: someone is out there, you're like, wow, you have this
- 50:19Speaker 2: thing in your house, dude.
- 50:20Speaker 19: I know.
- 50:20Speaker 2: It's like human teeth. This is too much. Sometimes it's
- 50:24Speaker 2: a little bit too much.
- 50:24Speaker 3: You've got to catch the vibe of that stuff before
- 50:26Speaker 3: you put it in your home.
- 50:27Speaker 2: Some of the stuff you don't want to touch. This
- 50:30Speaker 2: might be a little haunted.
- 50:31Speaker 3: They don't want to bring that home with you.
- 50:33Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely not. I was not expecting that response, Deb,
- 50:37Speaker 2: of going like, well, I'm not going to do that
- 50:39Speaker 2: because I don't know whose teeth they are.
- 50:41Speaker 11: Seriously.
- 50:41Speaker 2: Seriously.
- 50:42Speaker 3: There's a reason why I won't hang certain African masks.
- 50:45Speaker 3: If I don't know the background of something, I'm not
- 50:48Speaker 3: hanging it in my home, and that goes with antiques
- 50:50Speaker 3: as well.
- 50:51Speaker 2: Dude, my grandfather, you want to hear something crazy? My grandfather,
- 50:54Speaker 2: my grandfather is where I got the whole estate sale,
- 50:56Speaker 2: garage sale thing from, and my grandfather... uh, traveled all
- 50:59Speaker 2: over the nation, kind of buying little stuff like this,
- 51:02Speaker 2: then he would sell at garage sales. And he was
- 51:04Speaker 2: a pretty kind of, um, uniquely self-educated guy. So he
- 51:09Speaker 2: was very interested in a lot of stuff and he
- 51:10Speaker 2: bought this lot. And when he bought this one lot,
- 51:13Speaker 2: the lot had a bunch of different stuff in it
- 51:15Speaker 2: was mostly scientific instruments, but the bottom of the of
- 51:18Speaker 2: the uh box was a small wooden carving okay and
- 51:23Speaker 2: he he started doing research you gotta remember this is
- 51:25Speaker 2: back in the 80s no internet or anything like that
- 51:27Speaker 2: so you're going to the library you're you're you're spending
- 51:30Speaker 2: actual time trying to find something with a little bit
- 51:33Speaker 2: of background on this and it turned out it was
- 51:35Speaker 2: an african um amulet no no no it was it
- 51:40Speaker 2: was an a small idol Fertility items? That they would
- 51:44Speaker 2: use in a certain ceremony. And the way that you
- 51:47Speaker 2: knew that's what it was is because the color of
- 51:49Speaker 2: it was ox blood. The ox that would have been
- 51:52Speaker 2: the ox or the animal that would have been sacrificed
- 51:56Speaker 2: at that particular thing is what they used to color
- 51:59Speaker 2: this particular thing with. My dad wouldn't go in the
- 52:02Speaker 2: same room with it. My dad would not. It was
- 52:05Speaker 2: like a little man, like a little very rudimentary carved
- 52:08Speaker 2: man with sunken eyes and stuff like that. My dad
- 52:11Speaker 2: would not go in the same room with it. It
- 52:13Speaker 2: was a total of four and a half inches tall,
- 52:15Speaker 2: and it weighed nothing. Like the size of a can
- 52:16Speaker 2: of Coke is about the size of it. My dad
- 52:18Speaker 2: wouldn't have anything to do with it, dude. He would
- 52:20Speaker 2: shut the door to the room that it was in.
- 52:22Speaker 2: Is this right after that two-parter on the Brady Bunch? Yes.
- 52:26Speaker 3: Yes.
- 52:27Speaker 2: He shouldn't walk by himself. All right, always good seeing you, Chloe.
- 52:34Speaker 3: You too.
- 52:35Speaker 2: Let me go. I'm getting scared. Good luck, Chloe G.
- 52:40Speaker 20: Yay.
- 52:42Speaker 2: You're free.
- 52:42Speaker 8: Run, run.
- 52:43Speaker 2: Thank you. I got to go, got to go.
- 52:45Speaker 3: Run toward the light.
- 52:46Speaker 2: All right, back in a sec.
- 52:50Speaker 6: What's up, JCS crew?
- 52:51Speaker 2: What up, homie?
- 52:52Speaker 20: Jimmy, with the economy the way it is, we can
- 52:54Speaker 20: all use a helping hand. Can you give us all
- 52:56Speaker 20: some more information on where we can find that deli
- 52:59Speaker 20: deal of moist toast?
- 53:01Speaker 6: What?
- 53:03Speaker 2: I don't understand that. Yeah, I didn't get that one.
- 53:06Speaker 16: I know y'all got more Spanish jokes than that.
- 53:09Speaker 2: Keep them Cuban. Hey, Debra. One more game.
- 53:16Speaker 10: Let's go, Brew Crew.
- 53:19Speaker 2: Behold the power of cheese. I just figured out who
- 53:23Speaker 2: Jimmy really is. He's Daffy Duck as the Scarlet Pumpernickel.
- 53:35Speaker 3: Is there a contact high that we're not aware of?
- 53:38Speaker 2: Man. I want it so bad. Cash. C-A-S-H. That is
- 53:46Speaker 2: your 4 o'clock keyword. Go to realradio.fm and send that
- 53:49Speaker 2: away for your chance at $ 1, 000. We have one winner.
- 53:53Speaker 6: Edward.
- 53:53Speaker 2: We'd like to win one more $ 1, 000 before this weekend. No.
- 53:56Speaker 2: Before the show's over. Before the show's over. Four more.
- 53:59Speaker 2: Four more. All right, Cash guys. Go get that money.
- 54:02Speaker 2: You can also enter using the iHeartRadio app as well.
- 54:05Speaker 2: I'm Jim. There's Deb. Hello. Hi. And Ross. 1950. That's
- 54:10Speaker 2: how long the Scarlet Pumpernickel has been around. Oh, really? Yeah.
- 54:14Speaker 2: I know what he's referring to. It's an old Looney
- 54:17Speaker 2: Tunes commercial. Or short. Was it the Scarlet Pumpernickel or Pumpernil?
- 54:22Speaker 4: Well, I think Pumpernickel was the Looney Tunes version of it.
- 54:25Speaker 2: Of the Pumpernil?
- 54:26Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 54:26Speaker 2: Okay, there you go. Yeah, that makes perfect sense, yeah. Yeah, okay. Yeah,
- 54:29Speaker 2: that's Daffy Duck with a red cape, right? Come on, Danny. Swashbuckling,
- 54:33Speaker 2: buccaneerish kind of hat. Yeah, yeah. So very interestingly, there
- 54:38Speaker 2: is a new trend in real estate. I think you
- 54:41Speaker 2: guys will find very interesting. And I found this painfully interesting.
- 54:45Speaker 2: So this is happening in Kansas City, Missouri, out there
- 54:50Speaker 2: in that area there. And I think, though, as the
- 54:52Speaker 2: story goes on, It's happening in other places in the
- 54:55Speaker 2: nation as well. As people house hunt, they're always looking
- 54:59Speaker 2: for certain things, right? When you buy a house, what
- 55:01Speaker 2: are you considering, guys? Location. Schools, locations, 100%. Proximity to
- 55:10Speaker 2: shopping and entertainment and stuff like that, right? Fire hydrants.
- 55:13Speaker 3: Ability to put a mother-in-law suite or something similar to
- 55:16Speaker 3: that on my property.
- 55:17Speaker 2: Good answer.
- 55:18Speaker 6: 100%.
- 55:18Speaker 2: All of these things add up, but those are not
- 55:21Speaker 2: pushing people to buy a house right now in certain
- 55:24Speaker 2: areas of America. But there is something that is doing it,
- 55:28Speaker 2: and it's fascinating. And we talk about this place all
- 55:31Speaker 2: the time. What do you think is actually driving real
- 55:34Speaker 2: estate sales in certain parts of America right now?
- 55:37Speaker 3: Doomsday bunkers.
- 55:39Speaker 14: No.
- 55:41Speaker 2: It's the location of the house near something. Internet. Or
- 55:46Speaker 2: proximity to data centers. Not a data center.
- 55:48Speaker 6: Water.
- 55:49Speaker 2: Not water. No, these are all. Look, this is. Think
- 55:52Speaker 2: outside the box. Like, why would you move? Like, think
- 55:55Speaker 2: of the craziest reason you would move to a part
- 55:57Speaker 2: of a neighborhood or into a neighborhood. Oh, it's near
- 56:00Speaker 2: a Bucky's. It's near a what?
- 56:02Speaker 3: Wawa.
- 56:03Speaker 13: A what?
- 56:03Speaker 2: Bucky's. Wawa. A what? Starbucks. A what?
- 56:07Speaker 3: Convenience store.
- 56:08Speaker 2: A what? What's a big store? A what?
- 56:12Speaker 3: Walmart.
- 56:13Speaker 2: H & M. Target. Target. Costco, BJ's. Costco is the answer. Dude,
- 56:19Speaker 2: people are actually moving into neighborhoods to be more adjacent
- 56:25Speaker 2: to Costco's and Sam's. They are literally driving real estate sales.
- 56:30Speaker 2: Is that a good thing? I don't know if it's
- 56:32Speaker 2: a good thing. It's a weird thing. People love Costco.
- 56:34Speaker 2: But it is... People love working for Costco. So let
- 56:37Speaker 2: me tell you something, Jack. I know we talk about
- 56:39Speaker 2: the big box stores or Costco and Sam's a lot
- 56:41Speaker 2: because a lot of people who listen to us shop
- 56:44Speaker 2: in those places. Look, can I tell you, it's not
- 56:45Speaker 2: one of the only places you can still afford to
- 56:47Speaker 2: shop for your family and still get the dollar value
- 56:50Speaker 2: per pound that you're getting that really makes your dollar
- 56:53Speaker 2: stretch a little bit. People realize that and they want
- 56:56Speaker 2: to be adjacent to these things so that they can
- 56:58Speaker 2: have clearer access to better deals for their family. I'm
- 57:01Speaker 2: guessing the economy is probably driving a little bit of this. Oh, yeah.
- 57:04Speaker 2: I really want to crap on this idea, but the
- 57:07Speaker 2: more I just hold it through the fires is that
- 57:10Speaker 2: if you live close to a Costco, right, that you
- 57:13Speaker 2: know you're being self-aware. I'm only going to go to
- 57:15Speaker 2: the gas station that's really close to me. I'm only
- 57:17Speaker 2: going to shop at the thing that's really close to me.
- 57:19Speaker 2: Now you're living there for you're buying a home. That's
- 57:22Speaker 2: 10 years, 20 years, maybe for the rest of your life.
- 57:24Speaker 2: And over a course of an entire lifetime, that will
- 57:28Speaker 2: make enormous savings. It really will. And what it's saying
- 57:31Speaker 2: is there are people in certain cities. Austin, Texas is one.
- 57:35Speaker 2: Kansas City, Missouri is one.
- 57:37Speaker 19: L.A.
- 57:37Speaker 2: Is one. Where there are literally online spreadsheets with realtors.
- 57:41Speaker 2: that show you the proximity of your home to like
- 57:44Speaker 2: Costco's or Sam's or BJ's Wholesale. The big box stores
- 57:48Speaker 2: that offer the giant discounts in bulk are becoming unbelievably popular.
- 57:52Speaker 2: People want to be as close as they can to
- 57:53Speaker 2: them to save as much money as possible. And I
- 57:55Speaker 2: think Ross is 100% right. You look at it, the
- 57:57Speaker 2: addition of moving there, it may save you. If you
- 58:00Speaker 2: have a family of four, look, I will tell you
- 58:01Speaker 2: straight up, it allowed my wife and I to feed
- 58:04Speaker 2: our family, having a Sam's membership and Costco memberships for years.
- 58:09Speaker 2: Because when you have four athletes, they're drinking a gallon
- 58:12Speaker 2: and a half, two gallons of milk a day. We're
- 58:14Speaker 2: going through 20 pounds of chicken breast every three days.
- 58:17Speaker 2: It gets effing expensive. And if it wasn't for them,
- 58:20Speaker 2: I don't know that we could have made it buying
- 58:21Speaker 2: it pound for pound at grocery stores.
- 58:23Speaker 3: Well, really, this isn't any different. I don't know about
- 58:26Speaker 3: you guys, but I'm a convenience shopper. Like, I would
- 58:29Speaker 3: love to live out in the country, but when you
- 58:31Speaker 3: talk about it's 45 minutes one way just to get
- 58:34Speaker 3: to the grocery store, I'm going to be rethinking that
- 58:37Speaker 3: because I like to live within the proximity of everything
- 58:40Speaker 3: that I'm going to need to get.
- 58:41Speaker 2: Yeah, 100%.
- 58:42Speaker 3: So it makes sense.
- 58:43Speaker 2: And they're saying that people that don't live there, there
- 58:46Speaker 2: are now groups, there are now travel groups that get together,
- 58:49Speaker 2: and they live more than 40 minutes from a Costco.
- 58:52Speaker 2: There's a group in North Carolina they talk about here.
- 58:54Speaker 2: where they get together on a specific Saturday, they meet,
- 58:58Speaker 2: and they travel as a group to go to Costco
- 59:01Speaker 2: or Sam's because, again, like you're saying, there's a culture
- 59:04Speaker 2: behind it now. It's more than just a store. People
- 59:07Speaker 2: are like, we love the smell of it. They like
- 59:09Speaker 2: the feeling of it. They like the lights, everything about it.
- 59:11Speaker 2: It's become like a thing. And by the way, it's
- 59:14Speaker 2: like one of the new hookup spots. It's like one
- 59:16Speaker 2: of the new spots to find a mate.
- 59:19Speaker 9: It is.
- 59:20Speaker 2: I'm telling you, it's crazy. It's an entire community in
- 59:25Speaker 2: its own. Your mama looks so good against that palette
- 59:27Speaker 2: of laundry detergent. I'll just never forget the look in
- 59:32Speaker 2: her eyes if she saw me and over my shoulder
- 59:34Speaker 2: was Cheeto balls. Yeah, yeah, yeah. By the five-gallon barrel. Right.
- 59:41Speaker 2: Do you like me, or is that just a 25,000
- 59:43Speaker 2: bunch of bananas in your pocket? That's another excuse. You
- 59:47Speaker 2: are saving money, but every time you go to Costco,
- 59:51Speaker 2: you better get pumped and primed for that $ 400 or
- 59:54Speaker 2: $ 500 grocery bill, right? In Pensacola, they're listing houses, and
- 59:58Speaker 2: now in the house listings, they're telling you how far
- 1:00:01Speaker 2: you are away from the nearest Costco. It's like part
- 1:00:03Speaker 2: of the sales pitch. It's like, oh, we got a pool,
- 1:00:05Speaker 2: got a fireplace. You're 2.6 miles from Costco. I like,
- 1:00:09Speaker 2: I don't know. This kind of feels very, I don't
- 1:00:11Speaker 2: even know if it is a debate, but it feels
- 1:00:13Speaker 2: kind of stepping up in a perfect debate category for
- 1:00:15Speaker 2: me because there's some parts of me that really finds
- 1:00:18Speaker 2: this to be kind of sad and a reflection of
- 1:00:20Speaker 2: society that we're moving closer to a better deal. And
- 1:00:24Speaker 2: I don't, for me, I always will try my best
- 1:00:27Speaker 2: to be a human first and weigh my humanity over
- 1:00:31Speaker 2: anything venture of capitalism right right right right you want
- 1:00:35Speaker 2: to think that yeah you want to think that but
- 1:00:38Speaker 2: sometimes uh you start playing ball yeah exactly right so
- 1:00:43Speaker 2: now you're deciding where you live because of snyder's pretzels
- 1:00:47Speaker 2: being that.
- 1:00:47Speaker 3: Cheap well i will tell you what's we're sitting right
- 1:00:49Speaker 3: there in the community that i used to live in
- 1:00:52Speaker 3: and jack will tell you it's uh it was right
- 1:00:54Speaker 3: around the corner here There was a Sam's Club that
- 1:00:57Speaker 3: was right there for so many years.
- 1:00:59Speaker 2: And, dude, I got to tell you, there was no
- 1:01:01Speaker 2: greater outrage in the neighborhoods that were behind that, like
- 1:01:04Speaker 2: your English Estates and Domrick Estates going into the Maitland,
- 1:01:08Speaker 2: the fancy Maitland part. There was no greater controversy than
- 1:01:11Speaker 2: when they shut that Sam's down because that means now
- 1:01:13Speaker 2: you have to drive all the way to Altamont Springs
- 1:01:15Speaker 2: down past the mall, which is a nightmare to get to.
- 1:01:19Speaker 2: There's nowhere else close to go. There's a Costco or
- 1:01:22Speaker 2: Sam's nowhere. Correct. It was a complete, man, people blanking,
- 1:01:26Speaker 2: freaked out over that thing closing.
- 1:01:27Speaker 4: That's why I was thrilled when BJ's opened because it
- 1:01:30Speaker 4: was on my drive home.
- 1:01:31Speaker 6: Right.
- 1:01:31Speaker 4: And it's close enough to where I live where my
- 1:01:34Speaker 4: wife can get gas there or just do shopping there.
- 1:01:38Speaker 4: as opposed to having to go a couple towns over
- 1:01:41Speaker 4: to where Costco was.
- 1:01:42Speaker 2: And you love BJ's, right? BJ's is like one of
- 1:01:43Speaker 2: your new stomps?
- 1:01:45Speaker 4: That is, yeah. I do that and Costco both. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:01:48Speaker 4: I got a routine.
- 1:01:49Speaker 2: That's all I need. Does BJ's do the food thing?
- 1:01:53Speaker 2: Not ideally. No.
- 1:01:53Speaker 3: Oh, no.
- 1:01:59Speaker 2: Let that go okay fresh air okay they is everybody
- 1:02:03Speaker 2: okay yeah they they don't serve the that food they
- 1:02:07Speaker 2: do have like they sell the rotisserie chicken they have
- 1:02:09Speaker 2: the the bakery but they don't have a cafe that's
- 1:02:12Speaker 2: a miss yeah yeah and i don't know if it
- 1:02:15Speaker 2: was if they do it at all if they don't
- 1:02:17Speaker 2: at all bj's or if it was just a size
- 1:02:19Speaker 2: thing yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah man bj's so cool
- 1:02:21Speaker 2: though very clean i know that yeah no one's gonna
- 1:02:23Speaker 2: push the size.
- 1:02:24Speaker 4: Thing yeah yeah What I do like about BJ's is
- 1:02:29Speaker 4: the liquor store in front.
- 1:02:31Speaker 2: Here's it. You want a life hack? Oh, I love this.
- 1:02:32Speaker 4: I love this. A, not only are you getting the
- 1:02:36Speaker 4: best price, I even compared the price to Costco.
- 1:02:38Speaker 2: It's a little cheaper than Costco, like Baker's Mark. I
- 1:02:41Speaker 2: do my homework.
- 1:02:41Speaker 4: All right, nice. B, you do not need the club
- 1:02:45Speaker 4: membership to shop at the BJ's Liquor Store.
- 1:02:50Speaker 16: Really?
- 1:02:50Speaker 4: Because they also have lottery available in there, and they
- 1:02:54Speaker 4: can't make it exclusive to buy lottery, so they have
- 1:02:57Speaker 4: the alcohol available as well.
- 1:02:59Speaker 6: Wow.
- 1:03:00Speaker 2: Solid.
- 1:03:01Speaker 4: That's solid info. You're getting the best price. And there's
- 1:03:04Speaker 4: another liquor store in the parking lot.
- 1:03:06Speaker 6: I don't know.
- 1:03:07Speaker 4: That's the guy who held out when they were knocking
- 1:03:10Speaker 4: down the building, and he held out.
- 1:03:12Speaker 2: He's like, no, I'm staying here. It's like, all right,
- 1:03:14Speaker 2: we're going to put a cheaper liquor store right in
- 1:03:16Speaker 2: your parking lot. It's like they church over there off I-4.
- 1:03:18Speaker 2: I think it's Calvary Assembly. You can see the one
- 1:03:20Speaker 2: guy who wouldn't sell. His house is literally in the
- 1:03:23Speaker 2: dead center of the parking lot. I mean, kind of
- 1:03:26Speaker 2: props to you.
- 1:03:27Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:03:27Speaker 2: I agree 100%. You have a parking lot for a
- 1:03:29Speaker 2: house party? All right, 407-916-1041. Text us at 77031. It
- 1:03:36Speaker 2: reminds me of the Brondo Corporation from the movie Idiocracy
- 1:03:40Speaker 2: when it comes to real estate prices blowing up around Costco's.
- 1:03:45Speaker 2: Because it just seems like maybe that might be too
- 1:03:49Speaker 2: much power. If Costco ever looks at me and goes,
- 1:03:54Speaker 2: don't worry, it has electrolytes, I know what to freak
- 1:03:58Speaker 2: out about. All right, back with Colbert Court right after this.
- 1:04:00Speaker 10: Documentary uh idiocracy didn't they live inside of a costco
- 1:04:04Speaker 10: that also had like a train in it because it
- 1:04:06Speaker 10: was so darn large i think so um like apartment
- 1:04:08Speaker 10: complex is inside the costco and i think costco is
- 1:04:11Speaker 10: actually starting to develop stores that have apartments above it
- 1:04:15Speaker 10: so we are becoming idiocracy quickly Wow.
- 1:04:19Speaker 2: I did not know that. You've only seen parts of
- 1:04:21Speaker 2: the bureaucracy. I haven't seen the whole thing all the
- 1:04:22Speaker 2: way through. I think the movie is depressing now. I
- 1:04:25Speaker 2: think the movie is good. I kind of have a
- 1:04:28Speaker 2: hard time calling it great, but the premise is intoxicating
- 1:04:32Speaker 2: and prophetic. And that's a Mike Judge project, right? Yes. Yeah, yeah.
- 1:04:36Speaker 2: All right, 407-916-1041. Text us 77031. Cash is your 4

- 1:04:47Speaker 1: What you are listening to is real.
- 1:04:49Speaker 6: Well, sort of.
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: The participants are not actors.
- 1:04:52Speaker 19: That's a fact.
- 1:04:53Speaker 1: This is, however, a real case that will be decided
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: here in our forum, the Colbert Court.
- 1:05:00Speaker 2: Colbert Court brought to you by our very good friend,
- 1:05:03Speaker 2: Glenn Klausman of Klausman Law. That's K-L-A-U-S-M-A-N-L-A-W.com. Office is right
- 1:05:07Speaker 2: there in Winter Park, 407-917-1718. Car crash, call Klausman. Guys,
- 1:05:10Speaker 2: good and loud for Mr. Glenn Klausman.
- 1:05:11Speaker 19: Yay!
- 1:05:18Speaker 2: Legal Elite, super lawyer. He is the man. How are you, friend? Good, good.
- 1:05:22Speaker 2: Always good seeing you. Good seeing you all. How was
- 1:05:24Speaker 2: your travels? Travels were great. Had a good time. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:05:27Speaker 2: You want to do a brief reason you were traveling?
- 1:05:29Speaker 2: I think that's kind of an interesting story. It's an
- 1:05:30Speaker 2: interesting story.
- 1:05:31Speaker 7: My wife has been doing genealogy for a long time
- 1:05:33Speaker 7: and found a Revolutionary War soldier who was honored with
- 1:05:38Speaker 7: some kind of honor.
- 1:05:38Speaker 2: And she found that.
- 1:05:41Speaker 7: They couldn't figure out where his grave was. So they
- 1:05:46Speaker 7: had a good idea. It was in a little town
- 1:05:48Speaker 7: in Pennsylvania, and we had a marker made for this
- 1:05:52Speaker 7: Patriot's grave. And we went up there, and they had
- 1:05:56Speaker 7: a ceremony where people in the town came out. We
- 1:05:58Speaker 7: had a color guard there. It's a little church with
- 1:06:03Speaker 7: a cemetery in the back like so many of them
- 1:06:05Speaker 7: are in Pennsylvania.
- 1:06:06Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:06:07Speaker 7: It was an interesting time, yeah. We honored the Patriot,
- 1:06:10Speaker 7: and they did a little article in the newspaper there.
- 1:06:13Speaker 2: Very, very cool stuff, dude. The photographs you sent are
- 1:06:16Speaker 2: pretty badass. That's very cool, dude.
- 1:06:18Speaker 7: Yeah, there's some other cool photographs I have with the
- 1:06:20Speaker 7: church and the cemetery behind it, all these very, very
- 1:06:23Speaker 7: old headstones.
- 1:06:25Speaker 2: Uh, it was interesting. Yeah. Yeah. Very nice. Yeah. Uh, uh,
- 1:06:28Speaker 2: we have, are we going to put any of those
- 1:06:29Speaker 2: photos up maybe on Facebook or anything or no? I
- 1:06:31Speaker 2: might want to go home. I'll, I'll make sure she
- 1:06:33Speaker 2: wants me to.
- 1:06:34Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:06:34Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:06:35Speaker 7: I mean, she's in them, you know, she doesn't, she,
- 1:06:38Speaker 7: I was very proud of her. Did a nice presentation.
- 1:06:40Speaker 2: And it was interesting. Very nice. Well, Glenn drops by
- 1:06:44Speaker 2: every Thursday around this time. He brings a case to us,
- 1:06:47Speaker 2: and we'll read the case. We've got to go around
- 1:06:49Speaker 2: the room, try to figure it out ourselves. And then,
- 1:06:50Speaker 2: of course, we'll bring Glenn in at the end. Glenn
- 1:06:52Speaker 2: is a personal injury attorney here in Central Florida specializing
- 1:06:55Speaker 2: in in car crash accidents and injuries, but he can
- 1:06:58Speaker 2: do everything. He does trip and falls as well. If
- 1:07:00Speaker 2: you've been injured and you don't feel that you're at fault,
- 1:07:02Speaker 2: you need to call Glenn. Glenn's very good at this stuff.
- 1:07:04Speaker 2: And if you've been in a car accident, you definitely
- 1:07:06Speaker 2: need to call Glenn because Glenn is a savant at
- 1:07:09Speaker 2: that stuff. So he brings the case and we'll read
- 1:07:11Speaker 2: it and try to figure it out. And then of course,
- 1:07:12Speaker 2: if we can't, Glenn will tell us what's up. We
- 1:07:14Speaker 2: do this so that you can be informed that when
- 1:07:16Speaker 2: you get into crashes, there's more nuance than you believe.
- 1:07:20Speaker 2: And we're trying to kind of shine a light on that.
- 1:07:22Speaker 2: So you get taken care of. Just want to help
- 1:07:23Speaker 2: people as much as possible. Absolutely.
- 1:07:25Speaker 7: And this is a common question I get that we're
- 1:07:26Speaker 7: going to talk about today. And people that have other
- 1:07:29Speaker 7: lawyers that have cases ongoing with this, they should be
- 1:07:32Speaker 7: aware of the situation with health insurance and car insurance
- 1:07:35Speaker 7: and all that kind of stuff that we'll go over today.
- 1:07:37Speaker 2: Very nice. I was born. Very good. Here we go.
- 1:07:40Speaker 3: Well, we figured that already.
- 1:07:42Speaker 2: Here we go. That's different. I was in a car
- 1:07:45Speaker 2: accident caused by another driver slamming into the rear of
- 1:07:49Speaker 2: my car. When it happened, I felt dizzy and was
- 1:07:51Speaker 2: so disoriented that I could not remember my husband's cell
- 1:07:54Speaker 2: phone number. When I finally figured out my husband's cell number,
- 1:07:57Speaker 2: he came and picked me up and took me to
- 1:07:59Speaker 2: the hospital. Common question.
- 1:08:30Speaker 3: Well, first you need to hire an attorney.
- 1:08:32Speaker 4: Well, I think you do give your auto insurance information.
- 1:08:40Speaker 4: Your auto insurance is going to fight it out with
- 1:08:43Speaker 4: their auto insurance. I learned this from a very smart attorney.
- 1:08:47Speaker 4: I think his name is Glenn. But they will figure
- 1:08:51Speaker 4: it out. You don't have to kind of use your
- 1:08:55Speaker 4: health insurance in this situation.
- 1:08:56Speaker 2: And that's what she wants. She wants to use her
- 1:08:58Speaker 2: health insurance because she believes she believes if she gets
- 1:09:01Speaker 2: her car insurance in play, that her rates are going
- 1:09:03Speaker 2: to go up, which is illegal, by the way. They're
- 1:09:05Speaker 2: not supposed to do that.
- 1:09:06Speaker 3: Well, my understanding is that she already has used her
- 1:09:08Speaker 3: health insurance because she didn't want to give the hospital
- 1:09:11Speaker 3: her auto insurance card. And now she has the bills over.
- 1:09:14Speaker 6: $ 30, 000, $ 35, 000.
- 1:09:14Speaker 2: So to recover.
- 1:09:17Speaker 4: So I think she should have used her auto insurance
- 1:09:20Speaker 4: in this.
- 1:09:20Speaker 2: 99%. She was rear-ended, right?
- 1:09:22Speaker 6: Correct.
- 1:09:23Speaker 4: And what we learned, I learned this from a very
- 1:09:26Speaker 4: smart attorney. I think his name was Glenn as well.
- 1:09:27Speaker 2: Are they related? Yeah, they are. Same person. Twins. Yeah, yeah.
- 1:09:32Speaker 2: That 99% of the time, it's the person in the back.
- 1:09:35Speaker 2: They're at fault.
- 1:09:36Speaker 3: But I have to say, I think I would feel
- 1:09:40Speaker 3: like this woman because it's one thing. If a law
- 1:09:43Speaker 3: enforcement officer asks for your auto insurance card, but when
- 1:09:47Speaker 3: I'm in the hospital and I don't know you and
- 1:09:49Speaker 3: I don't know what you're going to file with this
- 1:09:51Speaker 3: insurance and you're not giving me legal advice, I would
- 1:09:54Speaker 3: feel a little like, well, I don't know. What are
- 1:09:57Speaker 3: you going to do with it? What are you going
- 1:09:58Speaker 3: to say to them? I mean, are they going to
- 1:10:00Speaker 3: talk to me? I would say, you know what, before
- 1:10:02Speaker 3: I give you this card, I need you to talk
- 1:10:04Speaker 3: to my attorney. His name is Glenn Klausman.
- 1:10:07Speaker 4: I just learned from this attorney i don't know if
- 1:10:09Speaker 4: you guys uh know him uh name's glenn yeah yeah
- 1:10:12Speaker 4: yeah he uh he these guys he the way he
- 1:10:15Speaker 4: explains it is they will settle it it's like your
- 1:10:18Speaker 4: insurance company they're not just going to take the hit
- 1:10:21Speaker 4: they're going to go after the other person's insurance company.
- 1:10:24Speaker 2: I'm not even okay so i correct me if i'm
- 1:10:27Speaker 2: wrong here but Does she have a choice? Can she
- 1:10:30Speaker 2: tell the hospital? I mean, the hospital says, hey, I
- 1:10:32Speaker 2: need your health insurance. She's like, I didn't even cause
- 1:10:34Speaker 2: this wreck. I don't want to give you any of
- 1:10:35Speaker 2: my insurance. She wound up giving the health insurance. But
- 1:10:38Speaker 2: does she have the right to say, I'm not giving
- 1:10:40Speaker 2: you any of my insurance information. I didn't cause any
- 1:10:42Speaker 2: of this wreck. Go find the guy who busted into me.
- 1:10:44Speaker 2: He's the guy that got to pay for all this.
- 1:10:46Speaker 7: And they might say, well, then we're not going to
- 1:10:48Speaker 7: see you. We need some insurance, so we're not going
- 1:10:50Speaker 7: to see you. Or you're on the hook for it.
- 1:10:52Speaker 7: Sign this that you agree to pay.
- 1:10:54Speaker 2: So let me ask a question. Does the husband taking
- 1:10:57Speaker 2: her to the hospital make a difference in this case?
- 1:10:59Speaker 2: Not at all. Instead of riding in an ambulance? Not
- 1:11:01Speaker 2: at all.
- 1:11:01Speaker 6: Okay.
- 1:11:02Speaker 2: Not at all.
- 1:11:02Speaker 3: Well, is there a police report?
- 1:11:04Speaker 2: There's a police report. Oh, Mr. Crosby, is there really
- 1:11:07Speaker 2: a scenario where a doctor will go, well, if you're
- 1:11:10Speaker 2: not going to give it, bye-bye, whatever happened to that oath? Well,
- 1:11:14Speaker 2: you know. That's a great question.
- 1:11:17Speaker 7: Some doctors' offices do not want to take car insurance
- 1:11:21Speaker 7: even because they have problems getting paid when they take
- 1:11:24Speaker 7: car insurance. It's so much easier taking health insurance because
- 1:11:28Speaker 7: it's all electronic. They send their bills in. The staff
- 1:11:30Speaker 7: does it. They get paid. Yeah, I mean, they have
- 1:11:33Speaker 7: an option to say whether or not they want to
- 1:11:34Speaker 7: treat a patient or whether or not they want to
- 1:11:36Speaker 7: take that person's insurance.
- 1:11:38Speaker 2: Is there enough insurance to cover the bills for the driver? Well,
- 1:11:40Speaker 2: she's got health insurance. She's got health insurance. Yeah, but
- 1:11:44Speaker 2: it shouldn't hit her health insurance, though, right?
- 1:11:46Speaker 6: Well.
- 1:11:47Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, of course, like Jack was saying, she
- 1:11:49Speaker 2: has health insurance. That's not really the issue. We know
- 1:11:51Speaker 2: it's going to get paid for, but that health insurance
- 1:11:53Speaker 2: company is going to go to their insurance company, the
- 1:11:55Speaker 2: person who caused the crash, and try to get reimbursed, right?
- 1:11:59Speaker 13: No.
- 1:11:59Speaker 7: Here's what actually happens. What actually happens is because she
- 1:12:04Speaker 7: used her health insurance, and folks that have been in
- 1:12:07Speaker 7: car accidents and use health insurance know this is what happened,
- 1:12:09Speaker 7: and they'll probably text in, she will get a letter
- 1:12:12Speaker 7: in the mail from her health insurance company saying, were
- 1:12:14Speaker 7: you in a car accident? Was this a work-related injury?
- 1:12:18Speaker 7: And if she answers yes to those questions, they're not
- 1:12:20Speaker 7: going to pay because auto insurance pays first. This is
- 1:12:25Speaker 7: a no-fault state. What that means is your own auto
- 1:12:29Speaker 7: insurance pays your first $ 10, 000 towards your medical bills. So
- 1:12:32Speaker 7: when she gives her health insurance, they may bill health insurance.
- 1:12:37Speaker 7: I'm sure they will bill health insurance. And maybe health
- 1:12:40Speaker 7: insurance just slips through the cracks and health insurance pays.
- 1:12:43Speaker 7: But health insurance normally will not pay until you prove
- 1:12:46Speaker 7: to health insurance that you've used your $ 10, 000 of auto
- 1:12:49Speaker 7: insurance to cover your medical bills. The insurance industry wanted
- 1:12:52Speaker 7: this type of law. They wanted a law that says,
- 1:12:55Speaker 7: Your own company pays the first.
- 1:12:57Speaker 2: $ 10, 000, and then.
- 1:12:59Speaker 7: Whatever happens, happens after that. And by the way, they
- 1:13:03Speaker 7: don't go back to the at-fault party to get that
- 1:13:06Speaker 7: $ 10, 000 that your own company has paid under no-fault insurance.
- 1:13:10Speaker 2: It's just... That doesn't happen. So after that, there's a
- 1:13:13Speaker 2: balance still. So there's 10 grand. So there's still $ 25, 000
- 1:13:18Speaker 2: that has to be made up. Is that when they
- 1:13:19Speaker 2: go to the person who caused the crash and look
- 1:13:21Speaker 2: for that insurance to make up that? Let's take it
- 1:13:24Speaker 2: back a step.
- 1:13:25Speaker 7: So let's say the bill is 100 grand and the
- 1:13:28Speaker 7: 10 grand is paid by your auto insurance. Now you
- 1:13:32Speaker 7: get a 90 grand bill. If you now send that
- 1:13:34Speaker 7: bill to your health insurance, the hospital has a negotiated
- 1:13:38Speaker 7: rate with health insurance. And that $ 90, 000 balance might get
- 1:13:42Speaker 7: cut down to $ 5, 000.
- 1:13:44Speaker 2: Or $ 10, 000. I mean, people see it all the time.
- 1:13:46Speaker 7: You get a $ 100, 000 hospital bill, your health insurance is
- 1:13:49Speaker 7: paid $ 8, 000, $ 10, 000, $ 9, 000, and you have a $ 100 balance
- 1:13:52Speaker 7: because that's your deductible. So it's a benefit to her
- 1:13:56Speaker 7: after she uses her car insurance, yes, to use her
- 1:13:59Speaker 7: health insurance because that's going to greatly reduce her bill.
- 1:14:02Speaker 7: On this $ 35, 000 after her car insurance pays $ 10, 000, Her
- 1:14:06Speaker 7: health insurance may pay a few thousand dollars, and she'll
- 1:14:08Speaker 7: probably own nothing unless she has like a $ 100 deductible.
- 1:14:11Speaker 2: So what happens to the guy who calls the accident?
- 1:14:15Speaker 2: Great question.
- 1:14:15Speaker 7: We've got to keep going along the timeline here. All right,
- 1:14:18Speaker 7: I'll shut up. So what happens next is she goes
- 1:14:22Speaker 7: after the guy who caused the crash. His company will
- 1:14:24Speaker 7: pay a certain amount of money towards her settlement. Now
- 1:14:28Speaker 7: the health insurance says, oh, we paid $ 3, 000 towards your bills.
- 1:14:32Speaker 7: We want you to pay that $ 3, 000 back from your settlement.
- 1:14:35Speaker 7: And that happens all the time because everybody's health insurance
- 1:14:38Speaker 7: has a clause in it that says if we pay
- 1:14:41Speaker 7: your medical bills and you recover money from somebody else
- 1:14:44Speaker 7: for the medical bills that we paid, you've got to
- 1:14:46Speaker 7: pay us back. And then at that point, the lawyers
- 1:14:48Speaker 7: need to negotiate with the health insurance company to say, look,
- 1:14:52Speaker 7: this person has had to pay a certain percentage to
- 1:14:54Speaker 7: get their money, an attorney's fees to get their money.
- 1:14:57Speaker 7: You need to reduce the health insurance company. You need
- 1:15:00Speaker 7: to reduce this. What you're getting paid back by that
- 1:15:02Speaker 7: same percentage wouldn't be fair. So let me ask, man,
- 1:15:05Speaker 7: because it's interesting. So she had scans on her neck, back,
- 1:15:07Speaker 7: and on her– On her what?
- 1:15:10Speaker 2: Brain. Yeah, on her brain. Because she was woozy. Right, yeah,
- 1:15:12Speaker 2: she was woozy. So we don't know. I don't know
- 1:15:15Speaker 2: if there's any therapies that were needed after this, but
- 1:15:18Speaker 2: let's just assume there were. Let's say the therapies had
- 1:15:21Speaker 2: to go on for six months and it's twice a week.
- 1:15:23Speaker 2: So those therapy sessions are going to run up another
- 1:15:25Speaker 2: anywhere from $ 15, 000 to $ 20, 000 in therapy sessions. Who would
- 1:15:29Speaker 2: pay that?
- 1:15:30Speaker 7: Well, let's say she ends up with a diagnosis of
- 1:15:33Speaker 7: a brain injury. And, yeah, she's got health insurance. That's
- 1:15:36Speaker 7: why she's got it. Health insurance will cover it. That's
- 1:15:37Speaker 7: why health insurance is so important.
- 1:15:39Speaker 2: Right, right, right.
- 1:15:41Speaker 7: People that don't have health insurance, I see it all
- 1:15:42Speaker 7: the time, will get maybe a $ 100, 000 hospital bill and
- 1:15:45Speaker 7: they don't have health insurance. And now I've got to
- 1:15:47Speaker 7: try to negotiate with the hospital because maybe there's only
- 1:15:50Speaker 7: $ 100, 000 to pay all the claims. So I've got to
- 1:15:53Speaker 7: negotiate with the hospital. But if that person had health insurance–
- 1:15:57Speaker 7: That $ 100, 000 bill, that balance.
- 1:15:59Speaker 2: Might only be $ 8, 000, $ 9, 000, $ 10, 000. That is unbelievable.
- 1:16:02Speaker 4: Glenn, fortunately, the guy who hit her had insurance. But
- 1:16:05Speaker 4: let's say he was underinsured or didn't have any insurance
- 1:16:08Speaker 4: at all. Is there anything the person in the front
- 1:16:10Speaker 4: car could have done to help them in a situation
- 1:16:13Speaker 4: such as that?
- 1:16:13Speaker 2: Yeah, I would think all of you know the answer
- 1:16:15Speaker 2: to that question. Uninsured motorist coverage. That's right, uninsured motorist coverage.
- 1:16:19Speaker 2: That's why it's so important.
- 1:16:21Speaker 3: We learned that from an attorney named Glenn.
- 1:16:23Speaker 2: Yeah. Yep, yep. Although there's other folks that are now
- 1:16:25Speaker 2: jumping on that bandwagon. Yeah. We started it. Yeah, we did.
- 1:16:29Speaker 2: This is an actual case.
- 1:16:30Speaker 7: This is a lady who called up, and apparently she's
- 1:16:32Speaker 7: doing well. She felt like she didn't need a lawyer.
- 1:16:34Speaker 7: She didn't want to pursue anything. Yeah, but you've got
- 1:16:36Speaker 7: to do that because of the money that's out. Yeah, well,
- 1:16:39Speaker 7: I explained things to her, and she felt like, you know,
- 1:16:42Speaker 7: I don't really need a lawyer.
- 1:16:43Speaker 2: I don't want to pursue it. Or maybe.
- 1:16:45Speaker 7: Maybe the at-fault guy's insurance company has contacted her already
- 1:16:48Speaker 7: and said, we're going to pay you X amount of dollars.
- 1:16:49Speaker 2: I don't know what happened. All I know is she said,
- 1:16:52Speaker 2: I'm okay. I don't need a lawyer.
- 1:16:53Speaker 7: I'm upset that my health insurance was used.
- 1:16:56Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:16:58Speaker 3: Well, here's a question, though, Glenn, because this is kind
- 1:17:00Speaker 3: of confusing because a lot of times we'll get text
- 1:17:03Speaker 3: messages from listeners who are saying, but I was told
- 1:17:06Speaker 3: by my insurance agent that I don't need uninsured motorist
- 1:17:10Speaker 3: coverage because I have health insurance. So how do you
- 1:17:15Speaker 3: clear up the confusion with.
- 1:17:16Speaker 2: A great question? That's great.
- 1:17:18Speaker 7: And that's, it's terrible that that stuff still goes on.
- 1:17:21Speaker 7: And I don't know why it goes on. I, we
- 1:17:23Speaker 7: represent a doctor who did not have uninsured motorist coverage
- 1:17:27Speaker 7: because he said his agent told him he.
- 1:17:29Speaker 2: Didn't need it.
- 1:17:30Speaker 3: Oh my God.
- 1:17:31Speaker 2: And that's a doctor who could afford it. Yeah. No problem.
- 1:17:33Speaker 2: He could afford it.
- 1:17:34Speaker 7: And, you know, consequently there was less money to compensate
- 1:17:38Speaker 7: him for his injuries. Fortunately, his injuries weren't that bad,
- 1:17:41Speaker 7: but still, yeah, that's wrong. The, There's all kinds of
- 1:17:45Speaker 7: coverages you can buy on auto insurance. One of them
- 1:17:47Speaker 7: is called medical payments coverage. Medical payments coverage pays additional
- 1:17:51Speaker 7: medical bills on top of what your no-fault insurance pays
- 1:17:54Speaker 7: for that first $ 10, 000. If you have health insurance, you
- 1:17:58Speaker 7: probably don't need medical payments coverage. But you need uninsured
- 1:18:01Speaker 7: motorist coverage, which is also underinsured motorist coverage. And we've
- 1:18:04Speaker 7: gone over this so many times before because people that
- 1:18:07Speaker 7: are causing accidents and injuring you and your family members
- 1:18:10Speaker 7: More often than not, do not have enough insurance to
- 1:18:13Speaker 7: pay for your damages and your injuries. And that's where
- 1:18:16Speaker 7: your uninsured motorist coverage kicks in, pays what the airflow
- 1:18:20Speaker 7: party cannot pay. And that's why it's so important.
- 1:18:25Speaker 2: What I just heard you say makes me have to
- 1:18:27Speaker 2: ask you, is there a scenario where there is good
- 1:18:30Speaker 2: luck in a car accident because the person at fault
- 1:18:33Speaker 2: was responsible and was doing all right and got more insurance?
- 1:18:36Speaker 2: Is that a society that we currently live in? That's
- 1:18:39Speaker 2: a great question.
- 1:18:40Speaker 7: And it's a situation where I have cases where the
- 1:18:45Speaker 7: at-fault people are a commercial vehicle and they've got $ 5
- 1:18:48Speaker 7: million in coverage. I've got a case. where there's $ 12
- 1:18:50Speaker 7: million in coverage. And, yeah, there's benefits to having a
- 1:18:56Speaker 7: lot of coverage that, you know, if you have a
- 1:18:58Speaker 7: lot of coverage, it's going to protect you if you
- 1:19:00Speaker 7: hurt somebody by accident, and it's going to very, very likely–
- 1:19:04Speaker 7: Protect the person that you hurt.
- 1:19:06Speaker 2: And one of the main reasons we have you in
- 1:19:07Speaker 2: is so you can shine some light on this stuff
- 1:19:09Speaker 2: because a lot of people do not know this. There's
- 1:19:10Speaker 2: a lot of nuance, like I said before, in how
- 1:19:12Speaker 2: you can use your insurances. Number one thing is make sure, obviously,
- 1:19:15Speaker 2: if you can afford health insurance or if you get
- 1:19:17Speaker 2: it through your work, that's obviously great. But one way
- 1:19:21Speaker 2: to combat that is get your uninsured or underinsured insurance.
- 1:19:24Speaker 2: You should call your agent, ask about it. It's like
- 1:19:27Speaker 2: a cheat code for insurance. If you can make it happen,
- 1:19:29Speaker 2: you should for sure. Absolutely. Everybody should have uninsured motorist coverage.
- 1:19:32Speaker 2: Always good seeing you, buddy. Good luck.
- 1:19:33Speaker 9: Great.

- 1:21:21Speaker 2: I've posted these reels online and a lot of comments
- 1:21:24Speaker 2: are like, how can I see a show? And it's
- 1:21:27Speaker 2: just too many comments. It comes off like a brag,
- 1:21:30Speaker 2: but there's a lot of comments asking, where do I
- 1:21:32Speaker 2: get the show? And I'm like, Melbourne, Florida. I know
- 1:21:36Speaker 2: you're in Washington, but there's a place called Pineapples. All right, 407-916-1041.
- 1:21:42Speaker 2: So I saw the story, the data centers, are such
- 1:21:48Speaker 2: a big part of our news scope these days. It
- 1:21:53Speaker 2: seems like every single day there's either something to do
- 1:21:55Speaker 2: with AI or a data center. Of course, it has
- 1:21:58Speaker 2: now seeped its way into the midterms, becoming a common
- 1:22:02Speaker 2: debate issue when it comes to data centers. And choosing
- 1:22:06Speaker 2: your side could be very important on the data center side.
- 1:22:08Speaker 2: It's shown that candidates now that are positive for data
- 1:22:12Speaker 2: centers are having a very difficult time explaining that. to
- 1:22:14Speaker 2: their constituents.
- 1:22:15Speaker 3: Except here in florida yeah well we haven't.
- 1:22:17Speaker 2: Seen yet we'll see how it goes for sure but
- 1:22:19Speaker 2: the reason why i bring this up is because data
- 1:22:21Speaker 2: centers are going well how can we fight this off
- 1:22:24Speaker 2: what can we do to have communities embrace us because
- 1:22:28Speaker 2: it seems like that it's like every time they talk
- 1:22:30Speaker 2: about building a data center i might as well be
- 1:22:32Speaker 2: built building like a a prison in people's neighborhoods because
- 1:22:35Speaker 2: it seems to be the same reaction right.
- 1:22:38Speaker 4: Yeah, you need to change the attitude, make it so
- 1:22:41Speaker 4: people want data centers.
- 1:22:43Speaker 2: What would do that? Tax benefits, cash.
- 1:22:49Speaker 4: Yeah, whether it's free internet or, you know, if you
- 1:22:55Speaker 4: are lowering the cost of power and water or utilities
- 1:22:58Speaker 4: in your home, in your community.
- 1:23:00Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say don't lower my.
- 1:23:05Speaker 3: My love of living in my home, right? You can
- 1:23:06Speaker 3: give me free internet, but if I'm going to hear
- 1:23:10Speaker 3: 24 hours a day, seven days a week, I don't
- 1:23:12Speaker 3: care what free you're giving me. Don't make my water
- 1:23:14Speaker 3: bills go higher. Don't suck down our resources. Don't make
- 1:23:18Speaker 3: our electric bills go higher. Be an addition to the community,
- 1:23:22Speaker 3: not a detraction.
- 1:23:22Speaker 2: Well, the funny thing is about the sound, I kind
- 1:23:25Speaker 2: of believe that, and by the way, one of you
- 1:23:27Speaker 2: guys nailed it. One of you guys nailed exactly what
- 1:23:30Speaker 2: they're doing. It's got to be Jack. I think that
- 1:23:34Speaker 2: if you are a data center and you're trying to
- 1:23:36Speaker 2: enter an agreement with a community, they're basically telling you, hey,
- 1:23:41Speaker 2: what we're doing is here to offset some of the
- 1:23:44Speaker 2: pain that you're going to experience with us being here.
- 1:23:46Speaker 2: Because here's the thing. They could build a giant warehouse
- 1:23:48Speaker 2: that just is this big supply center like we see
- 1:23:50Speaker 2: in Apopka now everywhere in northern Apopka. That's not hurting anybody.
- 1:23:55Speaker 2: It's a giant center. It's taking up a lot of space.
- 1:23:58Speaker 3: But those two centers are right next to each other
- 1:24:01Speaker 3: and there aren't any homes.
- 1:24:02Speaker 2: Yes, understood. But what I'm saying is if you're putting
- 1:24:04Speaker 2: a giant facility in a neighborhood and people are raising
- 1:24:07Speaker 2: hell about it, it's not because it's a giant facility
- 1:24:09Speaker 2: because we live around that all the time. It's providing
- 1:24:12Speaker 2: something else, the sound, the power bills, all of that.
- 1:24:16Speaker 2: And Ross nailed it. In Kansas, the data centers are
- 1:24:20Speaker 2: offering $ 10, 000 to people and property tax credits for 10 years.
- 1:24:28Speaker 2: But my thing is, that ain't even close to enough. Nope.
- 1:24:31Speaker 2: That's not even close to enough. You want to entice
- 1:24:33Speaker 2: a community as a data center? Cut them in on
- 1:24:36Speaker 2: the action. That's how you make people pay attention. In
- 1:24:39Speaker 2: other words, give that community a percentage of what that
- 1:24:42Speaker 2: data center is going to make the company that owns
- 1:24:45Speaker 2: that data center within a certain radius. And I think,
- 1:24:48Speaker 2: like Deb's saying, if there's a sound issue, let's say
- 1:24:51Speaker 2: you live a quarter of a mile away and you
- 1:24:53Speaker 2: can hear it. There should be a set settlement percentage
- 1:24:57Speaker 2: rate that if you live within a certain, you know,
- 1:24:59Speaker 2: 300 yards of this thing and there is that constant
- 1:25:02Speaker 2: hum that you deal with and now you can't sell
- 1:25:05Speaker 2: your house, you need a percentage of the action from
- 1:25:08Speaker 2: that company. You need to make it where they don't
- 1:25:10Speaker 2: want to leave because here's the thing, they're never going
- 1:25:12Speaker 2: to resell that house. The property value, if you bought
- 1:25:14Speaker 2: in at 400 grand and you have a constant B
- 1:25:17Speaker 2: hum in your yard or throughout your property perpetually, that
- 1:25:21Speaker 2: property is now not worth even anywhere close to that number.
- 1:25:24Speaker 2: They need to do something that's going to compensate these
- 1:25:27Speaker 2: people for what they're going to lose in their property values.
- 1:25:30Speaker 2: And 10K ain't going to do it. And these guys
- 1:25:32Speaker 2: can way afford more than that. You need a percentage
- 1:25:35Speaker 2: of that action. Show 10K to somebody who has 1K. Yeah,
- 1:25:39Speaker 2: I understand that. I think they're going to go, I
- 1:25:41Speaker 2: can 10 times my net worth. Yeah, but you can
- 1:25:43Speaker 2: look at that down the road. By the way, it's
- 1:25:45Speaker 2: only $ 1, 000 a year for 10 years. It's not like $ 10, 000.
- 1:25:47Speaker 2: They're not cutting you a $ 10, 000 check right off rip.
- 1:25:50Speaker 2: They're paying you $ 1, 000 a year for 10 years, and
- 1:25:53Speaker 2: you get property tax credit. So I have enormous trust issues,
- 1:25:59Speaker 2: kind of just in general. But also, if someone walks
- 1:26:03Speaker 2: up to me and goes, Ross, here's $ 100. I ain't
- 1:26:05Speaker 2: taking the $ 100. Right, yeah, yeah, yeah, because you don't
- 1:26:07Speaker 2: know what the connections are. This is too good to
- 1:26:10Speaker 2: be true. Sure, yeah. And if the government walks up
- 1:26:12Speaker 2: to me and goes, yo, we'll give you $ 1, 000 a month,
- 1:26:15Speaker 2: I immediately want to punch that messenger in the face
- 1:26:18Speaker 2: and tell him to go somewhere else. No, no, no, no, no.
- 1:26:21Speaker 2: There's some evil corp going on. You're putting a mirage,
- 1:26:25Speaker 2: a little smoke screen that's $ 1, 000 strong. for 10 years,
- 1:26:29Speaker 2: but the damage for you to be able to pay homes,
- 1:26:32Speaker 2: a thousand dollars is it. I'd be like, that'd be
- 1:26:36Speaker 2: like the water companies are PG and E or even
- 1:26:39Speaker 2: like Dow up there that got busted. Or is it
- 1:26:41Speaker 2: not Dow? It's, um, It is Dell, I think. DuPont. DuPont, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:26:45Speaker 2: The forever chemicals? That'd be like them coming up and going, hey, look,
- 1:26:48Speaker 2: I know we've poisoned your aquifer for what's going to be,
- 1:26:51Speaker 2: let's say, a lifetime. Here's $ 1, 000. That way your kids'
- 1:26:55Speaker 2: eyes fall out. You'll be able to buy them nice
- 1:26:57Speaker 2: glasses so nobody can see it. I mean, that's the
- 1:26:59Speaker 2: equivalent of what they're doing there or trying to, not
- 1:27:02Speaker 2: as extreme, but still in that same vein.
- 1:27:05Speaker 3: It very much reminds me of Aaron Brockovich.
- 1:27:08Speaker 20: Yes.
- 1:27:08Speaker 10: Right.
- 1:27:09Speaker 3: You know, the families because it wasn't just one cancer case.
- 1:27:12Speaker 3: They've been dealing with this for years and years and years.
- 1:27:14Speaker 2: Exactly.
- 1:27:15Speaker 3: But you throw a little money because, like Ross said,
- 1:27:18Speaker 3: you throw a little money at someone who doesn't have
- 1:27:20Speaker 3: any money and they're willing to take it while the
- 1:27:23Speaker 3: problem persists. And then the whole community ends up being
- 1:27:26Speaker 3: poisoned by this. So, like you said, it's just a
- 1:27:29Speaker 3: smokescreen to distract from what's really going on. And it's
- 1:27:33Speaker 3: it's not a good enough offer. And besides, we all
- 1:27:35Speaker 3: know that they're stealing the resources. For the underground bunkers
- 1:27:38Speaker 3: that all of the world's wealthy are building.
- 1:27:41Speaker 2: By the way, let me ask you real quick. One
- 1:27:43Speaker 2: of the big pushbacks with this is, well, we're creating jobs, right? No,
- 1:27:47Speaker 2: they create like 40 jobs. I was going to say,
- 1:27:50Speaker 2: have you guys looked at how many actual permanent jobs
- 1:27:52Speaker 2: are being made? A regular-sized data center, exactly what Deb said,
- 1:27:57Speaker 2: between 40 and 100 permanent jobs. Now, to build the thing,
- 1:28:00Speaker 2: it's going to be great, but that's going to be
- 1:28:01Speaker 2: 18 months. And then you're going to move on to
- 1:28:03Speaker 2: the next project. A large data center is usually just
- 1:28:07Speaker 2: 150 to possibly 250 employees full-time for a community that
- 1:28:11Speaker 2: it could affect that would be tens of thousands.
- 1:28:13Speaker 3: So is that like one of those megawatt centers would
- 1:28:15Speaker 3: only be like 150 to 200? Like the one that's
- 1:28:17Speaker 3: over here off I-4.
- 1:28:19Speaker 2: Oh and maybe not even that size maybe that's even
- 1:28:21Speaker 2: a little smaller but they're saying the average size data
- 1:28:24Speaker 2: center would employ 40 to 100 people permanently and a
- 1:28:27Speaker 2: large one would be anywhere from like 100 to 250
- 1:28:30Speaker 2: and that's not even what i mean that's what how
- 1:28:33Speaker 2: many houses is that i mean what size of a
- 1:28:35Speaker 2: community is that considering what your effect the effect you're having.
- 1:28:39Speaker 3: I don't know if you've seen the instagram reels of
- 1:28:42Speaker 3: county commission meetings when people will stand up and you
- 1:28:45Speaker 3: know some guy who's built these for years said listen
- 1:28:48Speaker 3: every time they come in they're going to tell you
- 1:28:50Speaker 3: that this thing is going to create 200 jobs because
- 1:28:52Speaker 3: 200 sounds like a great number right yeah right Not
- 1:28:55Speaker 3: too much, but not too little.
- 1:28:57Speaker 2: Right, right, right. Believable. Believable.
- 1:28:59Speaker 3: Exactly, exactly. Just enough to sweeten the pot.
- 1:29:04Speaker 2: Yeah, but they really don't. But they really don't. Circling back,
- 1:29:08Speaker 2: I can even kind of pull Amendment 3 into this
- 1:29:10Speaker 2: a little bit. If the government walks up to me
- 1:29:12Speaker 2: and goes, hey, brother, we'll cut your taxes. I'm like,
- 1:29:14Speaker 2: what are you doing? Where's it going to go? I'm
- 1:29:18Speaker 2: a beaten citizen, dude. I don't trust you at all. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 100%.
- 1:29:23Speaker 3: He's growing up before our very eyes.
- 1:29:25Speaker 2: But that is a part of growing up. I'm going
- 1:29:26Speaker 2: to be honest with you because I remember that very
- 1:29:28Speaker 2: thing that you're going through right now. I went through
- 1:29:30Speaker 2: that same thing a little bit earlier in life than
- 1:29:31Speaker 2: you did because I had a little bit more responsibility
- 1:29:33Speaker 2: earlier in my life than you did. But I went
- 1:29:35Speaker 2: through the same transformation that you're going through right now
- 1:29:38Speaker 2: where you just have that epiphany moment going, wait a minute.
- 1:29:41Speaker 2: Hold on. Is everybody lying to me? Is everything a scam?
- 1:29:46Speaker 2: Is everything the government trying to do is just usurp
- 1:29:48Speaker 2: money for my world? I think it's the infinite amount
- 1:29:53Speaker 2: of ulterior motives. Yeah, that's kind of what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah.
- 1:29:57Speaker 2: I just can't stop thinking, sure, we'll cut your taxes.
- 1:30:00Speaker 2: I already know how this turns out. You are sneaking
- 1:30:03Speaker 2: something in behind my back. I don't know what it is.
- 1:30:06Speaker 2: I don't know what it is. I'm not that smart yet.
- 1:30:08Speaker 2: it's going to burn me down the road. Would you
- 1:30:11Speaker 2: guys take the deal? Jack, if they were going to
- 1:30:14Speaker 2: build a center in your area and they came up
- 1:30:15Speaker 2: to you and said, hey, look, this thing's going to
- 1:30:18Speaker 2: come more than likely $ 1, 000 a year for 10 years. Yeah,
- 1:30:22Speaker 2: you don't take it, right, you?
- 1:30:23Speaker 3: No, absolutely not. Not a chance.
- 1:30:25Speaker 2: I would laugh them off my property. I would literally
- 1:30:28Speaker 2: laugh them off my property. And that's us four, right?
- 1:30:31Speaker 2: I'll join in. Yeah, obviously not. But I also know-
- 1:30:34Speaker 2: What number would it be? It's not our number. It's
- 1:30:38Speaker 2: the person who they're about to ask's number. And I
- 1:30:40Speaker 2: think they chose that part of any community for a reason. Hey,
- 1:30:44Speaker 2: what's the average median income? There you go. They're not
- 1:30:47Speaker 2: building these in New York City, right? They're not building
- 1:30:49Speaker 2: these in downtown cities.
- 1:30:51Speaker 3: Well, not only that, they're not building them around tony
- 1:30:53Speaker 3: parts of town, right? They're not building them in a
- 1:30:57Speaker 3: windermere or a winter park. It's your economically disadvantaged areas where,
- 1:31:02Speaker 3: like Ross said, an extra $ 10, 000 is going to sound
- 1:31:05Speaker 3: like they won the lottery.
- 1:31:06Speaker 2: It really is. It's almost as predatory. It varies. I'm
- 1:31:09Speaker 2: not calling anybody out before I make this statement. I'm
- 1:31:11Speaker 2: just saying a statement that is true. That's it. It
- 1:31:14Speaker 2: seems as predatory as some of the developers in Florida are.
- 1:31:17Speaker 2: They go to these farmers that have been struggling for
- 1:31:19Speaker 2: years because of different market changes, climate changes, whatever the
- 1:31:22Speaker 2: case may be. And they're buying these farms up to
- 1:31:24Speaker 2: build these communities because these farmers need this money. They're
- 1:31:28Speaker 2: in debt. They've been in debt. They see generational money
- 1:31:30Speaker 2: that will change their families' lives for eons. And they
- 1:31:34Speaker 2: take that money so fast, it's crazy. There are only
- 1:31:36Speaker 2: a few that have fought it off. Chris Dorwarth is
- 1:31:39Speaker 2: trying to push through again out in Geneva, out in
- 1:31:41Speaker 2: Seminole County. He's doing it again. He's trying to get
- 1:31:44Speaker 2: them to take away land that's already been dedicated to
- 1:31:48Speaker 2: preservation to build another one of these stupid communities that
- 1:31:51Speaker 2: nobody needs. He's relentless. He really is. This is like
- 1:31:54Speaker 2: the fourth shot this guy's tried at this thing, dude.
- 1:31:56Speaker 2: It's crazy.
- 1:31:56Speaker 3: I mean, we need to team him up with Marion
- 1:31:58Speaker 3: Hammer and just go after.
- 1:31:59Speaker 2: The Florida scrub, Jay. Just get rid of it. But
- 1:32:02Speaker 2: that's the same thing. It's very predatory because those people,
- 1:32:04Speaker 2: like Ross was saying, these data centers understand we're going
- 1:32:07Speaker 2: to go to that community. The average savings account balance
- 1:32:09Speaker 2: is $ 200. And what do you mean? If I flash
- 1:32:11Speaker 2: 10K in front of these people, they're going to lose
- 1:32:13Speaker 2: their mind. They will run to me to sign this deal.
- 1:32:15Speaker 2: So the next time you think, I don't care if
- 1:32:17Speaker 2: they have my data, it's not maybe your data that
- 1:32:19Speaker 2: they care about. Yeah. It's mass data. How is that
- 1:32:23Speaker 2: information out? Well, social media exists. If they're going to
- 1:32:27Speaker 2: start making deals, they need to draw a circle, figure
- 1:32:29Speaker 2: out where the pain is going to be, and start
- 1:32:31Speaker 2: paying those guys percentages of the income. Change their lives.
- 1:32:34Speaker 2: 10K ain't going to do it. 10K ain't going to
- 1:32:37Speaker 2: do it. Give them some real money. When the last
- 1:32:39Speaker 2: tree is cut, right? You know that, right? The last
- 1:32:42Speaker 2: fish is eaten, and the last stream is poisoned. You
- 1:32:45Speaker 2: will realize then and only then you can eat money. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:32:51Speaker 2: All right, back in a sec.
- 1:32:54Speaker 5: Hi, this is Donna from Indialantic. And I remember when
- 1:33:00Speaker 5: we built our home in the late 80s in Indialantic,
- 1:33:05Speaker 5: you could just put a peanut out on your driveway.
- 1:33:09Speaker 5: We could put one on the top of your head
- 1:33:11Speaker 5: and the scrub J's would come and.
- 1:33:12Speaker 3: Just take it right off of you or sit on
- 1:33:15Speaker 3: your shoulder.
- 1:33:16Speaker 5: They were beautiful, but I don't believe they're there anymore.
- 1:33:21Speaker 2: Sad, isn't it?
- 1:33:28Speaker 11: Yeah. I am wicked excited because tomorrow night we got
- 1:33:31Speaker 11: 14 sketches.
- 1:33:32Speaker 18: With Ross and Joel out of Pineapples in Melbourne.
- 1:33:34Speaker 2: And it's going to be a good time.
- 1:33:35Speaker 21: I know me, Mama T, Swilly, my buddy Nate, brother Matt,
- 1:33:39Speaker 21: we're all getting out there to hang out. So come
- 1:33:41Speaker 21: have a good time with us and come see a
- 1:33:43Speaker 21: great show. But, Jimmy, speaking of sketches, do you know
- 1:33:46Speaker 21: why you never trust people who sketch facial composites for
- 1:33:50Speaker 21: the police?
- 1:33:50Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 1:33:51Speaker 6: Why?
- 1:33:52Speaker 21: Well, Jimmy, they're con artists.
- 1:33:57Speaker 2: Not bad. Not bad.
- 1:34:01Speaker 15: Not bad.
- 1:34:04Speaker 2: Jack pointed out a really cool text. We just got
- 1:34:06Speaker 2: him responding to this person right now. Says, I'm so
- 1:34:10Speaker 2: right-leaning and conservative but cannot get enough of you guys.
- 1:34:13Speaker 2: In the best of ways, God bless our differences. You
- 1:34:15Speaker 2: guys make me mad and make me laugh, make me cry.
- 1:34:17Speaker 2: I love every second of it. That's like literally one
- 1:34:19Speaker 2: of the best compliments you could give us. That is, absolutely.
- 1:34:21Speaker 2: Appreciate that. 407-916-1041. A D or an R should never
- 1:34:25Speaker 2: come between people who are just people trying to be people.
- 1:34:27Speaker 2: It's like your political affiliation. That thing's been weaponized over
- 1:34:30Speaker 2: the last like 10 years. It should never be a
- 1:34:33Speaker 2: definitive thing in your life where you can't just see
- 1:34:36Speaker 2: human to human the things that you enjoy in life
- 1:34:39Speaker 2: and agree with. And even the differences, there are ways to–
- 1:34:42Speaker 2: There are ways to negotiate that. Your political affiliation should
- 1:34:45Speaker 2: never have anything to do with that. I can't appreciate
- 1:34:47Speaker 2: that more.
- 1:34:48Speaker 3: I so wish we could go back to the days
- 1:34:50Speaker 3: when it was considered impolite to talk about politics, religion,
- 1:34:53Speaker 3: and money.
- 1:34:54Speaker 12: 100%.
- 1:34:54Speaker 2: All right. Welcome back. I'm Jim. There's Deb. Hello.
- 1:34:56Speaker 3: Jack.
- 1:34:57Speaker 2: And Ross. Too much money, though, on one side of it.
- 1:35:00Speaker 2: And I think that's one of my biggest heartbreaking problems.
- 1:35:03Speaker 2: I take pride showing up to and talking with you
- 1:35:06Speaker 2: guys every day because of how diverse we are. Sure, yeah.
- 1:35:10Speaker 2: But it breaks my heart knowing that everything has a
- 1:35:14Speaker 2: R version and a D version right now. Yeah, yeah.
- 1:35:17Speaker 2: And it's just making too much money. To take one
- 1:35:21Speaker 2: side for people not to keep stop doing it. That's
- 1:35:24Speaker 2: cycling out. I see it. It's cycling out. I hope so. Yeah,
- 1:35:27Speaker 2: I agree. I think it is 100%. Credit is your
- 1:35:30Speaker 2: 5 o'clock keyword, C-R-E-D-I-T. Go to realradio.fm and send that
- 1:35:33Speaker 2: away for your chance at $ 1, 000. We had a winner
- 1:35:35Speaker 2: yesterday at 6 o'clock. Edward. Edward, good job. $ 1, 000. You
- 1:35:39Speaker 2: could be a winner as well. That gives us, I think,
- 1:35:41Speaker 2: four total now. The new junkie has three. We have one.
- 1:35:43Speaker 2: But the... I know Ross loves this. The pump is primed. Oh, yeah.
- 1:35:47Speaker 2: So go get that money for sure. That's a little creepy.
- 1:35:51Speaker 2: It is the word for sure. Cream of the crop.
- 1:35:54Speaker 2: So I got a little– I don't know how uncomfortable
- 1:35:57Speaker 2: it is, but I got a question to ask you.
- 1:35:58Speaker 2: I saw this online yesterday. Oh, no. This new press
- 1:36:02Speaker 2: secretary for– The Trump administration is getting a lot of attention.
- 1:36:06Speaker 3: News just broke about her. Oh, do you have it
- 1:36:08Speaker 3: later or do you want to do it now?
- 1:36:10Speaker 2: I can do it now. Yeah, please go ahead. Is
- 1:36:12Speaker 2: she still with us?
- 1:36:13Speaker 3: She is still with us, but she did in fact
- 1:36:16Speaker 3: admit that she never passed the bar exam.
- 1:36:18Speaker 2: Yeah, because, I mean, there's things going around that she
- 1:36:20Speaker 2: claimed that she was an attorney. Well, yes.
- 1:36:22Speaker 3: And what's interesting is that she said that she took
- 1:36:25Speaker 3: the California bar exam in 2011 and failed. Zachariah said
- 1:36:29Speaker 3: she was too distracted with her plans to get married
- 1:36:32Speaker 3: and move to China at the time. In a separate
- 1:36:35Speaker 3: interview with The New York Times, she said the president
- 1:36:37Speaker 3: of Pepperdine University warned her. She could call herself a
- 1:36:41Speaker 3: lawyer but not an attorney because she graduated with a
- 1:36:46Speaker 3: law degree from Pepperdine.
- 1:36:48Speaker 2: Right, and I heard that thing today. It's like not
- 1:36:50Speaker 2: all lawyers are attorneys, but all attorneys are lawyers, something
- 1:36:55Speaker 2: like that.
- 1:36:55Speaker 3: Because they have the law degree, but– Then you have
- 1:36:58Speaker 3: to get your Juris Doctorate, right?
- 1:36:59Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I believe you can have a
- 1:37:01Speaker 2: Juris Doctorate and not be a practicing lawyer, though, because
- 1:37:05Speaker 2: you could do a Juris Doctorate to teach law and
- 1:37:07Speaker 2: not practice law, right? I don't know.
- 1:37:09Speaker 3: I would think that you would have the law degree,
- 1:37:11Speaker 3: which says that you're a lawyer, but in order to
- 1:37:13Speaker 3: become a practicing attorney, you would have to have your
- 1:37:16Speaker 3: Juris Doctorate.
- 1:37:16Speaker 2: Maybe I have it backwards. But I know that you
- 1:37:19Speaker 2: can have a Juris Doctorate in law and not– and
- 1:37:22Speaker 2: not practice law, but teach law.
- 1:37:25Speaker 3: You know, we just had an attorney in here who's
- 1:37:27Speaker 3: probably screaming at us in his car.
- 1:37:32Speaker 2: Anyway, here's what was said online. So obviously there's a
- 1:37:34Speaker 2: lot of stuff going back and forth about this chick.
- 1:37:36Speaker 2: And of course, her parents came into play as well,
- 1:37:38Speaker 2: because With all due respect, she's a very attractive young
- 1:37:42Speaker 2: lady that has a very bikini calendar kind of feel.
- 1:37:47Speaker 2: Would you guys agree with that? Is that fair? I
- 1:37:49Speaker 2: haven't seen a picture of it. It's a copy. It's
- 1:37:53Speaker 2: almost like they're grown in a lab.
- 1:37:55Speaker 3: I know, seriously.
- 1:37:56Speaker 2: They have a type for the press secretary. She came
- 1:37:58Speaker 2: from Fox News, right? Yes.
- 1:38:01Speaker 1: Television?
- 1:38:02Speaker 3: Yes. Well, she was like a correspondent for them.
- 1:38:05Speaker 2: She would be.
- 1:38:06Speaker 3: you know she would fill in she didn't have her
- 1:38:08Speaker 3: own show.
- 1:38:08Speaker 2: Usually people who are on tv are pretty people.
- 1:38:12Speaker 3: Yeah very not necessarily articulate so this is.
- 1:38:15Speaker 2: Where this comes from right and this is where by
- 1:38:16Speaker 2: matter of fact you guys led into this perfectly the
- 1:38:19Speaker 2: thing i saw online i want to say it was
- 1:38:20Speaker 2: either reddit or facebook i can't remember exactly because i
- 1:38:22Speaker 2: wrote down earlier this morning right and the conversation was,
- 1:38:26Speaker 2: you know, why are these press these press secretaries from
- 1:38:30Speaker 2: Trump always, you know, pretty girls, you know, blondes with
- 1:38:33Speaker 2: pretty girls on nine yards. And the comment made was this.
- 1:38:36Speaker 2: And I don't know how you feel about this. People
- 1:38:38Speaker 2: don't want bad news from ugly people. That's the statement
- 1:38:43Speaker 2: that was said that caused like the fervor of conversation
- 1:38:46Speaker 2: after that is people– the reason why they're choosing people
- 1:38:50Speaker 2: who are pretty to look at is because people don't
- 1:38:53Speaker 2: mind getting their bad news from pretty people, but they
- 1:38:56Speaker 2: don't want to get it from ugly people. And funny
- 1:38:58Speaker 2: thing is right into that, Jack had said, you know,
- 1:39:00Speaker 2: they're in the news. They're on TV. They're pretty. Yeah. So– Sure,
- 1:39:05Speaker 2: I can get on board with that. But that's also like,
- 1:39:08Speaker 2: to me, should be like the 14th priority. It should.
- 1:39:12Speaker 2: I don't know if pronouncing words correctly would be up
- 1:39:15Speaker 2: there in my Mount Rushmore.
- 1:39:16Speaker 3: Not calling the president your husband.
- 1:39:18Speaker 2: Yeah, that was just a slip. There she is, Jack.
- 1:39:21Speaker 2: There you go.
- 1:39:22Speaker 3: It was a slip, but I mean, come on, man.
- 1:39:24Speaker 2: I mean, we're also just finding out that she said
- 1:39:26Speaker 2: that she did pass the bar and now it's coming
- 1:39:29Speaker 2: out that she hasn't. She also really about her is
- 1:39:32Speaker 2: not even really the thing because she's got some other
- 1:39:34Speaker 2: stuff in her past, like conspiracy theory stuff that she
- 1:39:37Speaker 2: put online that is gnarly as well. Like it's out
- 1:39:39Speaker 2: there stuff. My thing was the comment that somebody made
- 1:39:41Speaker 2: that like, I only want to get my good. I
- 1:39:43Speaker 2: only want to get my bad news from people who
- 1:39:45Speaker 2: are pretty. Do you think that applies? We can make
- 1:39:48Speaker 2: that the question of the day, Jack, if you want. No,
- 1:39:50Speaker 2: I would say yes to it in the sense of
- 1:39:54Speaker 2: a spectrum of like, of course, pretty people in front
- 1:39:56Speaker 2: of a camera that says as old as time itself. However, it's...
- 1:40:03Speaker 2: You can't just be pretty. And right now it kind
- 1:40:05Speaker 2: of looks like she's just pretty. Jack, can you buy this?
- 1:40:08Speaker 2: How do you feel about this? I was actually more
- 1:40:10Speaker 2: interested in your opinion and Deb's opinion. No, I'm no
- 1:40:13Speaker 2: dog in you, Ross. It's fine. He's young. No, I'm
- 1:40:15Speaker 2: not dog in you. But we've done the news thing
- 1:40:18Speaker 2: way longer than Ross has, so I think your opinion
- 1:40:20Speaker 2: is kind of interesting here.
- 1:40:21Speaker 4: Well, I have not seen her press conference. I know
- 1:40:24Speaker 4: there was criticism because I know CNN was kind of.
- 1:40:29Speaker 2: that day one.
- 1:40:30Speaker 4: And I'm like, I don't think anyone should be judged
- 1:40:32Speaker 4: by like day one on the job. Yeah, I agree 100%.
- 1:40:36Speaker 4: Get your feet wet. So I, but I think it's
- 1:40:39Speaker 4: a very hard job to do well. And I think
- 1:40:42Speaker 4: that the previous two, Caroline Levitt and Kaylee McElhinney, I think.
- 1:40:48Speaker 2: Did a tremendous job.
- 1:40:52Speaker 4: I might not agree with what they're saying, but I
- 1:40:55Speaker 4: think for the job they had to do, they did
- 1:40:57Speaker 4: it extremely well.
- 1:40:58Speaker 2: I think I could not agree with that more, and
- 1:41:00Speaker 2: I do agree. Here's the thing. It's got to be
- 1:41:03Speaker 2: one of the most difficult jobs in all of Washington,
- 1:41:06Speaker 2: and honestly, not paid like some of the other positions
- 1:41:10Speaker 2: in Washington that don't have that much coverage. It's not easy.
- 1:41:13Speaker 2: How much prep do you think that Caroline Leavitt and
- 1:41:16Speaker 2: Kaylee McElhinney– is it McElhinney or McElhinney? How much do
- 1:41:19Speaker 2: you think they averaged before they went out to do
- 1:41:21Speaker 2: a press conference? What do you think the prep was?
- 1:41:24Speaker 2: It would have to be a lot.
- 1:41:26Speaker 3: I would say six to eight hours, if not more.
- 1:41:28Speaker 2: Three to six hours minimum, and that's usually meeting with
- 1:41:32Speaker 2: cabinet leaders, like meeting with the secretary of defense, secretary of–
- 1:41:37Speaker 2: of the Interior, Secretary of the Economy, the Treasury. All
- 1:41:41Speaker 2: of those people have to have personal time because when
- 1:41:44Speaker 2: they go out and they do a thing called the
- 1:41:45Speaker 2: murder board I heard about today where they sit the
- 1:41:49Speaker 2: person and they just absolutely hammer them with the most
- 1:41:53Speaker 2: difficult questions out there just to see how they'll react
- 1:41:55Speaker 2: and what they can say.
- 1:41:57Speaker 3: And that's before she goes out and faces the press
- 1:41:59Speaker 3: corps and is on camera. So like you, it was
- 1:42:03Speaker 3: a rough first day. But you could hear her nerves.
- 1:42:07Speaker 3: I could feel her nerves.
- 1:42:08Speaker 2: I could see her shaking.
- 1:42:09Speaker 3: And I just couldn't dog her because that's her first day.
- 1:42:12Speaker 2: 100%.
- 1:42:20Speaker 3: Appearance matters more than competence.
- 1:42:23Speaker 2: Term one, you had Sean Spicer.
- 1:42:26Speaker 9: Right.
- 1:42:26Speaker 2: Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
- 1:42:27Speaker 11: Right.
- 1:42:28Speaker 2: And then Scaramucci. Yeah. That was a scary Moochie.
- 1:42:32Speaker 3: And apparently the rumors are that she's going to be Scaramucci.
- 1:42:35Speaker 2: I have no shame. And taking a shot at her.
- 1:42:39Speaker 2: This is not Anderson baseball. This is the White House.
- 1:42:44Speaker 2: The first day is what they're saying. First day. It's
- 1:42:47Speaker 2: not your first day. This isn't your first day. It
- 1:42:50Speaker 2: wasn't your first day doing that. It was the first
- 1:42:51Speaker 2: time doing it. But it's not your first day. I like...
- 1:42:55Speaker 2: This shouldn't be your first day in this experience. It
- 1:42:58Speaker 2: looks like it was their first day. I wouldn't put
- 1:43:00Speaker 2: an open mic or the headline. So that's about that.
- 1:43:02Speaker 2: That's the exact thing I'm about to ask.
- 1:43:05Speaker 16: Right.
- 1:43:05Speaker 2: I mean, so if you if if you have somebody
- 1:43:07Speaker 2: who's done comedy online. like for a while or whatever.
- 1:43:11Speaker 2: Like this guy, Drewski is about to do the SNL thing.
- 1:43:13Speaker 2: I mean, if he gets up there and he bombs
- 1:43:14Speaker 2: his monologue, do you go, well, he's been in the
- 1:43:16Speaker 2: comedy game for 15 years. He should have known better.
- 1:43:18Speaker 2: I mean, it's a live audience in front of millions
- 1:43:20Speaker 2: of people in national television on a show that is a,
- 1:43:22Speaker 2: an absolute legend show. So I mean, I'm going off
- 1:43:27Speaker 2: of a, of a hunch here, but I would be
- 1:43:29Speaker 2: very surprised if you could find much more worse first
- 1:43:34Speaker 2: days as the press secretary than hers. So if we're
- 1:43:40Speaker 2: all in agreement that, yeah, that was really, it might
- 1:43:42Speaker 2: be the worst, but then we're also going to turn
- 1:43:44Speaker 2: around and go, that's just the first day. I'm like, oh, what?
- 1:43:48Speaker 2: Now you make me want to watch it. Well, I
- 1:43:49Speaker 2: think that you can have both of those opinions, Ross.
- 1:43:51Speaker 2: I really do. I think you can say, well, not
- 1:43:53Speaker 2: to mention she's following what was, again, like Jack said,
- 1:43:57Speaker 2: whether you agree or disagree, a complete straight-up superstar. Caroline
- 1:44:01Speaker 2: Leavitt handled a lot of bullets. I mean, you imagine
- 1:44:04Speaker 2: being the press secretary for this guy. I mean, you know,
- 1:44:07Speaker 2: it is not an easy scenario because every 20 minutes
- 1:44:10Speaker 2: he's popping off on True Social saying something more and
- 1:44:12Speaker 2: more bizarre. And you have to answer for that. And
- 1:44:14Speaker 2: then and then legitimate journalists who've spent their entire lives
- 1:44:17Speaker 2: doing this are popping questions off and you have to
- 1:44:19Speaker 2: defend yourself. It's not an easy job. So I think
- 1:44:22Speaker 2: it would be like the same as you is like,
- 1:44:23Speaker 2: you know, you've done 10 comedy shows and now you've
- 1:44:25Speaker 2: got to follow Eddie Murphy or Chris Rock. You know,
- 1:44:28Speaker 2: I mean, if you went up there and didn't do well,
- 1:44:30Speaker 2: she stumbled over the word Venezuela.
- 1:44:32Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:44:34Speaker 2: I'm like, if that makes me a judgmental monster for
- 1:44:39Speaker 2: me to go like, yeah, I don't think she's very
- 1:44:41Speaker 2: good at this, and I don't think she's going to
- 1:44:42Speaker 2: improve much, then I am a huge monster. So if
- 1:44:46Speaker 2: a pitcher came up from the minors, and they went
- 1:44:49Speaker 2: to the majors, and they did great in the minors,
- 1:44:51Speaker 2: and they pitched in the majors, and they had a
- 1:44:53Speaker 2: really bad outing, let's say only lasted three innings, in
- 1:44:56Speaker 2: the majors. Do you say that? How do you, how
- 1:44:58Speaker 2: do you look at that? Like they've been pitching and
- 1:45:00Speaker 2: that's very good talent for a very long time. And
- 1:45:02Speaker 2: that metaphor, because of at all judge, let's hang up
- 1:45:05Speaker 2: on Venezuela and the, how she stumbled on that word.
- 1:45:09Speaker 2: That would be like that triple a pitcher who dominated
- 1:45:12Speaker 2: in the amateur leagues gets up to the MLB. Here
- 1:45:14Speaker 2: it is. And then he goes underhand and you go,
- 1:45:16Speaker 2: what are you thinking? It's that severe. Really? I, I
- 1:45:19Speaker 2: thought I saw a sheep. I saw someone who shouldn't
- 1:45:22Speaker 2: be there. I saw someone poorly hired. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well,
- 1:45:26Speaker 2: there's no question there. I mean, and that's kind of
- 1:45:28Speaker 2: going back to the original point.
- 1:45:29Speaker 3: But that goes to the people that hired her rather
- 1:45:31Speaker 3: than it being on her.
- 1:45:33Speaker 2: But that's kind of what I'm saying. It goes back
- 1:45:34Speaker 2: to the people who understand, okay, who do we need
- 1:45:36Speaker 2: up there? Do we need somebody that's really keen and
- 1:45:39Speaker 2: sharp and educated and has been doing this for 35 years?
- 1:45:41Speaker 2: Or just pre. Or do we want a bombshell to
- 1:45:44Speaker 2: roll out there so people get mesmerized by how she
- 1:45:46Speaker 2: looks and doesn't really care about what she says? It
- 1:45:48Speaker 2: was obvious that her looks outweighed any other attribute. That
- 1:45:54Speaker 2: one display.
- 1:45:55Speaker 3: And she proved that, no, being a pretty bombshell is
- 1:45:58Speaker 3: not going to make the people in the room go, Wow.
- 1:46:02Speaker 3: And forget their question.
- 1:46:03Speaker 2: But she's not there for them. We have a lie
- 1:46:05Speaker 2: about the bar exam. She's there for the base. Those
- 1:46:07Speaker 2: are the people she has to deal with.
- 1:46:09Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:46:10Speaker 2: And those are the people who are going to be
- 1:46:11Speaker 2: coming at her with questions. Yeah, 100 percent.
- 1:46:13Speaker 3: And those aren't just television people. You're going to have
- 1:46:16Speaker 3: like journalists.
- 1:46:17Speaker 2: I'm I'm.
- 1:46:18Speaker 3: Yes, a lot of the television people are journalists as well.
- 1:46:21Speaker 2: Yeah, 100%.
- 1:46:22Speaker 3: But it's a degreed position, so they're well-prepared with their questions.
- 1:46:26Speaker 5: Right, yeah, yeah.
- 1:46:27Speaker 3: And if she's only there with pretty to offer, I
- 1:46:30Speaker 3: feel bad for her because I've been doing news for
- 1:46:33Speaker 3: decades before I got on this show. It doesn't mean
- 1:46:35Speaker 3: I wasn't nervous still doing it for this show.
- 1:46:37Speaker 2: Right, yeah, 100%.
- 1:46:38Speaker 4: I don't think it's outside the box to say that
- 1:46:41Speaker 4: the president seems to choose some people by choice. being
- 1:46:45Speaker 4: enamored watching them on TV. I think that's how we
- 1:46:48Speaker 4: got our Secretary of War. Yeah, no doubt. Oh, he
- 1:46:51Speaker 4: looks good on TV.
- 1:46:52Speaker 2: We just talked about this with a senator recently, right?
- 1:46:55Speaker 2: Where was he? The guy, Husted in Ohio? Did you
- 1:46:58Speaker 2: guys hear how well he went off on how good
- 1:46:59Speaker 2: looking he was and what great shape he was?
- 1:47:03Speaker 13: He does.
- 1:47:04Speaker 2: He loves that kind of idea of you not only
- 1:47:06Speaker 2: being smart and capable, but also being handsome or beautiful
- 1:47:09Speaker 2: for some reason.
- 1:47:10Speaker 3: I've never heard smart and capable come into that mixture.
- 1:47:13Speaker 2: It's beautiful. We'd settle for that. for that he does
- 1:47:15Speaker 2: have what nick in there i mean come on you
- 1:47:16Speaker 2: know well.
- 1:47:17Speaker 3: That troll okay yeah not that smart.
- 1:47:21Speaker 2: But you look at the people he put like christine
- 1:47:23Speaker 2: gnome like you know again and uh this chick that
- 1:47:26Speaker 2: brooke rollins is the uh the.
- 1:47:28Speaker 3: Ag sec that's the whole thing just just look pretty
- 1:47:31Speaker 3: just be something good for me to look at i
- 1:47:33Speaker 3: don't need you to show don't tell.
- 1:47:34Speaker 2: Well, when is she doing her next press conference? She
- 1:47:36Speaker 2: hasn't done another one yet, right? No.
- 1:47:39Speaker 3: I think it's going to be a while.
- 1:47:41Speaker 2: Must see TV. Got to wait for the bruising to
- 1:47:43Speaker 2: get out. Exactly. All right.

- 1:48:06Speaker 16: I might disagree with Jimmy a little bit. I don't
- 1:48:09Speaker 16: know that the previous press secretaries have done a whole
- 1:48:12Speaker 16: lot other than just lie through their teeth in support
- 1:48:15Speaker 16: of things. But when you get into that role, you're
- 1:48:19Speaker 16: not chosen. because you're new and you need to learn

- 1:49:49Speaker 8: Two.
- 1:49:49Speaker 2: Two sounds good. That's Matt. Matt, how are you? I'm
- 1:49:53Speaker 2: doing great, Jimmy.
- 1:49:53Speaker 8: How are you doing?
- 1:49:54Speaker 2: Doing good. Brother, want to play a little game with us?
- 1:49:56Speaker 20: I would love to play.
- 1:49:57Speaker 2: Let's do it. Let's do it. All right, Matt, this
- 1:50:03Speaker 2: is a real easy game, buddy. I've got a question
- 1:50:05Speaker 2: here for you. Four answers. One of these answers is
- 1:50:08Speaker 2: not true.
- 1:50:09Speaker 9: What?
- 1:50:09Speaker 2: But if you find it, I'll send you over to
- 1:50:11Speaker 2: see Jack, and you can find something nice for yourself.
- 1:50:12Speaker 2: Are you ready? I am ready. Here we go, buddy.
- 1:50:15Speaker 2: On this day in 1956, American entrepreneur and Shark Tank
- 1:50:20Speaker 2: shark Kevin Harrington was born. Here are three fun facts
- 1:50:24Speaker 2: about Shark Tank, the show, and one lie I'm out on.
- 1:50:28Speaker 1: I'm out.
- 1:50:30Speaker 2: And for that reason, I'm out. There you go. All right,
- 1:50:34Speaker 2: we're talking about Shark Tank, buddy. Which one of these
- 1:50:36Speaker 2: is not true? Number one, about 25% of the contestants
- 1:50:39Speaker 2: are found at trade shows. Number two, the show is
- 1:50:43Speaker 2: based on a 2001 Japanese show called Money Tigers or
- 1:50:46Speaker 2: Tiger's Den. Number three, 30 to 40% of all the
- 1:50:50Speaker 2: deals fall apart after the show. Or lastly, Bomba's Socks
- 1:50:55Speaker 2: is considered the most successful Shark Tank product with a
- 1:50:59Speaker 2: current valuation of $ 2 billion. Which of those is a lie?
- 1:51:04Speaker 2: I think it's number one. No, that is it. Got it, buddy.
- 1:51:07Speaker 2: It's exactly it. Good job. You're a winner. Where do
- 1:51:10Speaker 2: you think they find them then?
- 1:51:13Speaker 14: Ah.
- 1:51:14Speaker 6: I don't know.
- 1:51:15Speaker 10: A popka.
- 1:51:15Speaker 2: God, that's so crazy. I have to study the science
- 1:51:21Speaker 2: of this. Why did you choose number one? What made
- 1:51:23Speaker 2: you choose one? It popped into my head right away.
- 1:51:25Speaker 2: Just popped into your head. Okay, no rhyme or reason.
- 1:51:28Speaker 2: There you go, buddy. You're a winner. No rhyme or reason.
- 1:51:29Speaker 2: You got it, buddy. I'm going to put you on hold. Congratulations.
- 1:51:31Speaker 2: That's the one. Where do you think 25% of the
- 1:51:33Speaker 2: contestants are found? Internet. No.
- 1:51:38Speaker 3: YouTube?
- 1:51:39Speaker 2: TikTok shop.
- 1:51:40Speaker 6: Facebook?
- 1:51:42Speaker 2: Facebook?
- 1:51:44Speaker 3: Instagram.
- 1:51:45Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no. Not the internet. eBay.
- 1:51:47Speaker 6: Etsy.
- 1:51:48Speaker 2: I mean, you're all around it. God. You are all
- 1:51:51Speaker 2: around it. Big box stores. It makes perfect sense. It does.
- 1:51:54Speaker 2: Free markets. Oh, Kickstarter is the answer. Yeah, baby! Where
- 1:51:59Speaker 2: you go to get funding for your new business idea. Careful, Jack.
- 1:52:03Speaker 2: He's right behind you. Put his seatbelt on. One out
- 1:52:05Speaker 2: of four... One out of four contestants for Shark Tanks
- 1:52:09Speaker 2: come from Kickstarter. So the producers just roll through Kickstarter
- 1:52:13Speaker 2: and find things they think would be great on the
- 1:52:15Speaker 2: show and just send them a text. That's a great
- 1:52:16Speaker 2: way to do it. That felt so good. You know
- 1:52:18Speaker 2: how you're like, it's on the tip of my tongue,
- 1:52:20Speaker 2: but I'll never get it.
- 1:52:21Speaker 9: There it is.
- 1:52:21Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, the show is based on a 2001 Japanese
- 1:52:25Speaker 2: show called Money Tigers or Tiger's Den.
- 1:52:27Speaker 3: I always wondered why they called it Shark Tank.
- 1:52:29Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. 30% to 40% of the deals fall
- 1:52:32Speaker 2: apart after the show. The contestants either get cold feet
- 1:52:36Speaker 2: or the investors get cold feet or they don't like
- 1:52:38Speaker 2: each other's people once they get kind of spending a
- 1:52:39Speaker 2: little time together. And then the deal falls apart and
- 1:52:42Speaker 2: they move on. And Bomba Socks is the most successful
- 1:52:47Speaker 2: Shark Tank product with a current valuation of $ 2 billion.
- 1:52:51Speaker 2: That's $ 1 billion a foot. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:52:53Speaker 3: I like their ads, though, that for every pair that
- 1:52:55Speaker 3: you buy, they send one to a homeless shelter.
- 1:52:57Speaker 2: Absolutely. And, Jack, you thought it was somebody else. Scrub Daddy?
- 1:53:01Speaker 2: Scrub Daddy's close. I just see it a lot. That's
- 1:53:04Speaker 2: why I know.
- 1:53:04Speaker 3: I've got some at home.
- 1:53:05Speaker 2: I think that's the second or third most successful product
- 1:53:09Speaker 2: from Shark Tank. One of the greatest origin stories of
- 1:53:12Speaker 2: a product is also Scrub Daddy is that basically he
- 1:53:16Speaker 2: was up against the wall, man. His garage was full
- 1:53:19Speaker 2: of these things. He could not sell it. And I
- 1:53:22Speaker 2: think the story is then he put the mouth in.
- 1:53:25Speaker 2: And it was something about the mouth and then the
- 1:53:28Speaker 2: ridges on the side is that all of a sudden
- 1:53:30Speaker 2: that gave it some more life. And then Shark Tank
- 1:53:32Speaker 2: happened and then Explosion. Off you go. Now it's the
- 1:53:35Speaker 2: number one sponge. Some other things you may not know
- 1:53:37Speaker 2: about Shark Tank before we get to the top of
- 1:53:38Speaker 2: the hour. We've got some raw thoughts headed your way.
- 1:53:40Speaker 2: Although pitches on the show are usually no more than
- 1:53:43Speaker 2: five minutes, how long does the actual pitch last? An hour.
- 1:53:49Speaker 8: A day.
- 1:53:51Speaker 2: Six hours. Yeah, one to two and a half hours
- 1:53:54Speaker 2: they can sit there. And by the way, it's a
- 1:53:56Speaker 2: continuous shoot. They do not cut. So when the people
- 1:54:00Speaker 2: come in, they're rolling all mistakes, everything that happens, they
- 1:54:04Speaker 2: record and then edit down to that three or four
- 1:54:06Speaker 2: or five minutes that they pitch on the show. Trying
- 1:54:08Speaker 2: to wear them down. Well, probably also part of the charm.
- 1:54:11Speaker 2: Part of the charm of the show is that you
- 1:54:13Speaker 2: get to see humans sweat and try, and they believe
- 1:54:16Speaker 2: in their dreams. Absolutely, 100%. Every person that pitches has
- 1:54:20Speaker 2: to go through a mandatory post-pitch psychological evaluation. They have
- 1:54:25Speaker 2: an on-set psychiatrist that talks to you after the pitch
- 1:54:30Speaker 2: to make sure you're okay with what just happened to you.
- 1:54:33Speaker 2: That's actually fair. That means something happened season one. ABC,
- 1:54:41Speaker 2: the network, has a no-shop policy, which means the contestants
- 1:54:45Speaker 2: can't take the deal that they got from one of
- 1:54:47Speaker 2: the sharks and go out there and shop it against
- 1:54:49Speaker 2: other investors once the product is seen by the public.
- 1:54:53Speaker 2: In other words, they go out there, let's say Mr.
- 1:54:56Speaker 2: Wonderful makes a deal, and they go out in public
- 1:54:58Speaker 2: and a guy comes up and goes, that deal's dog-ass.
- 1:55:00Speaker 2: I will give you a much better deal. You can't
- 1:55:02Speaker 2: do that. ABC has a policy where you can't do it.
- 1:55:06Speaker 2: Of course. 87% of the contestants stay in business after
- 1:55:09Speaker 2: their appearances. In other words, people believe that this is
- 1:55:12Speaker 2: most people's last shot effort to stay in business. It's not.
- 1:55:15Speaker 2: What it is. What is that? What it is is
- 1:55:19Speaker 2: them trying to get to that next level of business
- 1:55:21Speaker 2: most of the time. A lot of them already have
- 1:55:24Speaker 2: an established customer base, but they just can't seem to
- 1:55:27Speaker 2: reach that next level. And that's where most of these
- 1:55:29Speaker 2: are looking for money, for that more seed money. The
- 1:55:33Speaker 2: hallway fish tank shots that they use when they scan
- 1:55:36Speaker 2: over is actually a casino aquarium in Nevada. It's not
- 1:55:41Speaker 2: even on the set. And then lastly here, all those
- 1:55:44Speaker 2: props that you see when they bring that stuff out
- 1:55:46Speaker 2: to make it look nice and all that, all the
- 1:55:48Speaker 2: contestants have to pay for that themselves. The show does
- 1:55:50Speaker 2: not pitch in any money. to help them pitch their product.
- 1:55:53Speaker 3: I would imagine.
- 1:55:54Speaker 2: It's a brutal show. I'll tell you something else that's
- 1:55:55Speaker 2: interesting about it. Until Mark Cuban became part of the show,
- 1:55:59Speaker 2: the show used to take 5% to 10% of your
- 1:56:03Speaker 2: product just to get on the show. When Mark Cuban,
- 1:56:06Speaker 2: when they approached Mark Cuban to be part of the
- 1:56:08Speaker 2: program and he looked at how the program ran, he said,
- 1:56:11Speaker 2: you've got to get rid of that immediately. And on
- 1:56:13Speaker 2: top of that, you have to retro go pay these
- 1:56:16Speaker 2: people for the money you took from them. Good. And
- 1:56:18Speaker 2: then they did it to get him on board because
- 1:56:20Speaker 2: he's worth twice what all the other Sharks combined are worth.
- 1:56:25Speaker 2: Mark Cuban is an interesting fella. He's by far the
- 1:56:29Speaker 2: wealthiest person on that show. And although people think it's Mr.
- 1:56:32Speaker 2: Wonderful because of the watches and all the things that
- 1:56:34Speaker 2: he does and the jets and whatnot, it's not even
- 1:56:37Speaker 2: in the same ballpark. You could add all the other
- 1:56:39Speaker 2: ones together and he could write a check for the...
- 1:56:42Speaker 2: For their total net worth. I've got one Easter egg
- 1:56:44Speaker 2: about Shark Tank, and it was quoting, I watched a
- 1:56:47Speaker 2: Mark Cuban interview, and he goes, a lot of the investors,
- 1:56:50Speaker 2: a lot of the people who are walking in and
- 1:56:52Speaker 2: selling the product, well, they quickly learned that this is
- 1:56:54Speaker 2: one hell of a commercial.
- 1:56:56Speaker 15: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:56:57Speaker 2: So as soon as you get your product on Shark Tank,
- 1:57:00Speaker 2: guess who's advertising as seen on Shark Tank? And that's
- 1:57:03Speaker 2: another aspect of it. They said that even though you
- 1:57:05Speaker 2: don't make it on Shark Tank, a lot of the
- 1:57:07Speaker 2: people have this giant boon right after the show. It's
- 1:57:11Speaker 2: how they manage that boon to kind of continue that
- 1:57:15Speaker 2: forward forward. uh, to, to more success. And I believe
- 1:57:18Speaker 2: Cuban even said, it was like, we would make deals.
- 1:57:20Speaker 2: They were great deals.
- 1:57:21Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 1:57:22Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. But they still were like, I got what
- 1:57:24Speaker 2: I came here for.
- 1:57:25Speaker 6: Exactly.
- 1:57:25Speaker 2: A hundred percent. We got some thoughts worse. Yeah. I
- 1:57:27Speaker 2: love being a human and I still love other humans.
- 1:57:30Speaker 2: Sometimes it ebbs, sometimes it flows. Everyone has been there,
- 1:57:32Speaker 2: but there's one thing about being a human that I,
- 1:57:36Speaker 2: it's so grossly underrated. Oh, I like this. It happens randomly. Yeah.
- 1:57:42Speaker 2: Science can't explain it still. All right. And I will
- 1:57:46Speaker 2: tell you about this one thing after the break. We'll
- 1:57:49Speaker 2: be right back. Your 6 o'clock keyword is dollar. D-O-L-L-A-R.

- 1:58:14Speaker 19: Hi.
- 1:58:14Speaker 2: And Ross has some thoughts. Let's get them.
- 1:58:16Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
- 1:58:18Speaker 2: It's weird.
- 1:58:19Speaker 12: Send it.
- 1:58:19Speaker 2: It's funny.
- 1:58:21Speaker 6: Why?
- 1:58:21Speaker 2: Sometimes. It's Ross. Spelled like sauce. Little gnar gnar. It's
- 1:58:28Speaker 2: Ross Thoughts. Welcome to Ross Thoughts. Today's Ross Thoughts is
- 1:58:31Speaker 2: brought to you by the greatest AC company man has
- 1:58:34Speaker 2: ever known, Mills Air. If you will have any AC needs, wants, questions,
- 1:58:40Speaker 2: if you're curious, well, they have all of the answers.
- 1:58:43Speaker 2: My home didn't even have room for an AC unit,
- 1:58:45Speaker 2: but they still figured it out. No joke. Other AC
- 1:58:48Speaker 2: unit companies came to my house and they were like, no.
- 1:58:52Speaker 2: And then Mills Air showed up and they were like, Yeah,
- 1:58:55Speaker 2: we can do it. In fact, it's going to be awesome.
- 1:58:57Speaker 2: At a great price as well. My carrier unit is phenomenal. Oh, yeah,
- 1:59:00Speaker 2: they're bulletproof, dude. And I'm happy that my AC is
- 1:59:02Speaker 2: perfect because I've been rehearsing. Fun fact, friendly reminder, tomorrow night, Melbourne, Pineapples,
- 1:59:08Speaker 2: sketch show. Now let's get to some thoughts. Nice, let's
- 1:59:10Speaker 2: do it. All right. I love being a human, and
- 1:59:13Speaker 2: I know humans get a bad rap. And part of me,
- 1:59:16Speaker 2: whenever I hear Deb go, I don't like humans, I go,
- 1:59:19Speaker 2: she's right. I'm on board. I get it. I get it.
- 1:59:25Speaker 2: It's not a logical argument, right? Anything bad that's really
- 1:59:31Speaker 2: ever happened for the most part is done by other humans.
- 1:59:34Speaker 2: Friendly reminder, though, mosquitoes is our number one killer.
- 1:59:37Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:59:39Speaker 2: But no one hates mosquitoes, right? Yeah, everybody hates mosquitoes.
- 1:59:42Speaker 2: Are you crazy? But not in the sense of, like,
- 1:59:44Speaker 2: we don't personify. They're a nuisance, but, like, there is
- 1:59:47Speaker 2: a literal disliking of other people. And there's plenty of
- 1:59:51Speaker 2: people that I also don't like. But I always find myself,
- 1:59:55Speaker 2: at the end of the day, appreciating a brick-layered building. Or, like,
- 2:00:00Speaker 2: a brick-built building.
- 2:00:01Speaker 12: Okay.
- 2:00:01Speaker 2: And going like, damn, dude. That's a lot of engineering.
- 2:00:04Speaker 2: That's a lot of work. When you pick up your iPhone,
- 2:00:06Speaker 2: you've got to think of not the adults, but the
- 2:00:08Speaker 2: children who made it. And the 250,000 patents in time.
- 2:00:16Speaker 2: I want to remind people that it's okay to love
- 2:00:20Speaker 2: being a human. And there's some fun things, whether it's
- 2:00:23Speaker 2: a sneeze. People like sneezing. That's a fun little thing
- 2:00:27Speaker 2: that all living organisms kind of do. But there's one thing.
- 2:00:31Speaker 2: Part of being a human that jumps out to me
- 2:00:34Speaker 2: is that I think it's like the best.
- 2:00:36Speaker 19: All right.
- 2:00:36Speaker 2: I'm waiting. The setup is very, very intriguing. Because it's
- 2:00:40Speaker 2: still got this mystical, magical element of an experience. Okay.
- 2:00:45Speaker 2: Let me see if I can figure this out. Something
- 2:00:46Speaker 2: a human does. It's something that a human experiences. Experiences.
- 2:00:51Speaker 2: And science still can't exactly define why. Love. The female orgasm. Deb,
- 2:00:59Speaker 2: any guess? Please save me after that huge pause. Just
- 2:01:04Speaker 2: agree with Jack and move on.
- 2:01:06Speaker 3: I'm going to say a laughing baby.
- 2:01:08Speaker 2: How about... That's a good one because... I got it.
- 2:01:11Speaker 10: I got it.
- 2:01:12Speaker 2: I got it. Why your yawn will make me yawn.
- 2:01:15Speaker 2: How about not that guess, but your first three guesses,
- 2:01:19Speaker 2: all three of those things can cause goosebumps. The mystery
- 2:01:26Speaker 2: that is Goosebumps. It's almost like the closest thing to
- 2:01:30Speaker 2: a tale that we have. The books?
- 2:01:33Speaker 14: Nope.
- 2:01:35Speaker 2: Not the R.L. Steinbangers or the Jack Black remake that flopped.
- 2:01:40Speaker 2: I am talking about the experience of having Goosebumps. Remember
- 2:01:44Speaker 2: Five Gum commercials? And that's basically that entire commercial is
- 2:01:48Speaker 2: trying to... When you chew this gum, you can see
- 2:01:51Speaker 2: the hairs on your arms stick up. And I just
- 2:01:55Speaker 2: recently had probably the best dose of goosebumps this past weekend.
- 2:02:01Speaker 2: It's very niche. I know getting goosebumps is a very
- 2:02:04Speaker 2: personal thing. What gives you goosebumps might not give me goosebumps. Oh, yeah, 100%.
- 2:02:08Speaker 2: Soccer game at Inter.co Stadium, Orlando City versus Toronto. Not Toronto.
- 2:02:15Speaker 2: I'm forgetting. And you're talking about emotionally powered goosebumps. It's
- 2:02:20Speaker 2: not like weather-powered goosebumps, right?
- 2:02:22Speaker 13: No.
- 2:02:23Speaker 2: Emotionally powered. Honestly, even weather is still kind of like,
- 2:02:28Speaker 2: but at the end of the match, it's one-on-one. The
- 2:02:31Speaker 2: other team has the ball. They're charging our goalkeeper. Our
- 2:02:34Speaker 2: goalkeeper sticks out a foot. Perfect save. Oh my God,
- 2:02:37Speaker 2: it goes to our player. Now it's a counterattack. The
- 2:02:39Speaker 2: score is 2-2. It's in the 90th minute. We're not
- 2:02:41Speaker 2: going to do it. We're not going to do it.
- 2:02:43Speaker 2: Even Angulo with the ball running down. Oh my God,
- 2:02:45Speaker 2: we might do it. He passes it back to Angulo.
- 2:02:47Speaker 8: Score.
- 2:02:47Speaker 2: 3-2. Win the game. Stoppage time. Goosebumps. As I looked
- 2:02:53Speaker 2: at all of my fellow Orlandoans celebrating, and as soon
- 2:02:57Speaker 2: as I got done celebrating, I just put it in
- 2:03:00Speaker 2: a bottle. Sell that. God, was it amazing. And goosebumps
- 2:03:05Speaker 2: are just... I said it's like the closest thing to
- 2:03:08Speaker 2: a tail that we have because a dog kind of
- 2:03:10Speaker 2: doesn't have control over a tail.
- 2:03:12Speaker 15: Right.
- 2:03:12Speaker 2: We also really don't have control over goosebumps. You do not.
- 2:03:16Speaker 2: Isn't that weird? Yeah, that is wild. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 2:03:19Speaker 2: How about the fact that certain songs... Oh, yeah. Music. Yeah.
- 2:03:23Speaker 2: Giving goosebumps.
- 2:03:25Speaker 6: Man.
- 2:03:25Speaker 2: I would say music does it to me more than
- 2:03:28Speaker 2: any one singular thing. If you're like me and you're
- 2:03:30Speaker 2: trying to latch on to any magic in the world,
- 2:03:34Speaker 2: goosebumps is doing it for me. The fact that we
- 2:03:37Speaker 2: can't explain every instance of goosebumps. You can't give yourself
- 2:03:44Speaker 2: goosebumps on command. Is there any other part of your body?
- 2:03:48Speaker 2: You can't tickle yourself. Oh, yeah. Yeah, you can't tickle yourself.
- 2:03:51Speaker 2: It's impossible. I've never even thought of that. Yeah, but
- 2:03:54Speaker 2: I think it kind of falls on the same line, though.
- 2:03:57Speaker 2: And then throwing this out here, guess what Goosebumps also has?
- 2:04:01Speaker 2: Every Goosebump that you have is an individual muscle. Is
- 2:04:05Speaker 2: it really? Did you know that? I did not know that.
- 2:04:07Speaker 2: I thought it was like a pore, like a hair
- 2:04:09Speaker 2: pore or something, wasn't it? It is connected to hair
- 2:04:11Speaker 2: growth and like your hair follicle. Yeah.
- 2:04:14Speaker 11: So.
- 2:04:15Speaker 2: If you don't have hair, then you're not going to
- 2:04:17Speaker 2: get goosebumps there. Well, what you're saying is that follicle
- 2:04:19Speaker 2: has a muscle or whatever that powers it or whatever,
- 2:04:21Speaker 2: and so that's what freaks out?
- 2:04:23Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 2:04:23Speaker 2: Oh, wow. And once I found that, I was like, damn, dude,
- 2:04:25Speaker 2: I'm jacked. I've got so many muscles. How did he
- 2:04:30Speaker 2: work out today? But the fact is that the only
- 2:04:33Speaker 2: thing that scientists are kind of aware of that it
- 2:04:36Speaker 2: uses your nervous system. It involves that in some shape
- 2:04:39Speaker 2: or form. But past that... They really don't know why
- 2:04:43Speaker 2: some people experience it more than others. I would argue
- 2:04:46Speaker 2: that people who experience goosebumps more, would you say that
- 2:04:50Speaker 2: they're probably happier people? Man, I don't know about that.
- 2:04:53Speaker 2: I'm sitting here thinking, and I was like, but usually
- 2:04:54Speaker 2: when I get goosebumps, it's either a really kind of
- 2:04:57Speaker 2: sentimental kind of thing or a scary thing. It is
- 2:05:02Speaker 2: like the bookends of my extreme emotions. And what's so
- 2:05:06Speaker 2: funny to me is that, like, I said it's the
- 2:05:10Speaker 2: only thing magical I think right now, or at least
- 2:05:13Speaker 2: it's really filling that void of magic in my life
- 2:05:16Speaker 2: because it's the one thing that our body, the one
- 2:05:20Speaker 2: thing that our soul reacts to that is abstract.
- 2:05:24Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah.
- 2:05:24Speaker 2: It's a song. What do you mean Creed gives me goosebumps?
- 2:05:28Speaker 2: Scott Stapp gives me goosebumps?
- 2:05:30Speaker 3: Mark that.
- 2:05:31Speaker 2: Save that. Okay, don't do that. It's too late. But
- 2:05:34Speaker 2: just like the level, not only is our brain subjective,
- 2:05:37Speaker 2: so is our body.
- 2:05:38Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 2:05:39Speaker 2: And how it reacts to it, I find absolutely amazing.
- 2:05:43Speaker 2: And I got to tell you, it's weird, though, because
- 2:05:44Speaker 2: as you're talking, I'm thinking, you know, there are times
- 2:05:47Speaker 2: when I could go, and I'm in a certain mood.
- 2:05:48Speaker 2: I don't know if you guys have this where— When
- 2:05:50Speaker 2: you get in a certain mood, there's a certain kind
- 2:05:52Speaker 2: of music you like to listen to, right?
- 2:05:54Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
- 2:05:54Speaker 2: You guys do that same thing? Well, there are some
- 2:05:56Speaker 2: times when I get in certain moods and I listen
- 2:05:58Speaker 2: to certain music, it's almost like I'm setting myself up
- 2:06:01Speaker 2: for it because I know that mood I'm in when
- 2:06:04Speaker 2: I add that particular kind of music or song is
- 2:06:07Speaker 2: going to get me close there. So I cannot manufacture it,
- 2:06:10Speaker 2: but I can create a scenario where it would be
- 2:06:13Speaker 2: more likely to happen than not.
- 2:06:15Speaker 6: Exactly.
- 2:06:16Speaker 2: Really? Yeah. I could listen to a certain song or
- 2:06:20Speaker 2: a couple songs on the way home today. And the
- 2:06:22Speaker 2: chances are high. And I would have a higher chance
- 2:06:24Speaker 2: if I get into that vibe really well that I
- 2:06:26Speaker 2: would get goosebumps. There's the songs that can give those
- 2:06:32Speaker 2: goosebumps or they bring you back to a memory and
- 2:06:34Speaker 2: then you think of that. I mean, my last goosebump
- 2:06:37Speaker 2: was the... a sporting event. And I'm curious, texting service, please,
- 2:06:41Speaker 2: if you can, let me know when was the last
- 2:06:44Speaker 2: time or what, what a great question. What gave you goosebumps?
- 2:06:47Speaker 2: What a great, what is it for you guys? What
- 2:06:49Speaker 2: was the last thing that gave you goosebumps? I mean,
- 2:06:51Speaker 2: I know it's hard to be like off rip. I remember.
- 2:06:53Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I don't know. It's the same things that
- 2:06:57Speaker 4: get that hit you emotionally. And it's like those, uh,
- 2:07:01Speaker 4: the military reunions.
- 2:07:02Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 2:07:03Speaker 14: 100%.
- 2:07:03Speaker 4: When they, when they come home, And you see that
- 2:07:07Speaker 4: kid's face just in shock because their dad, who's been
- 2:07:10Speaker 4: gone a year, is now in their classroom.
- 2:07:12Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going to say two words, and I guarantee
- 2:07:14Speaker 2: you Jack is going to say yes. I can't remember
- 2:07:16Speaker 2: if you had this same experience, but Jack and I
- 2:07:19Speaker 2: have talked about it for sure, and we did. Oh,
- 2:07:21Speaker 2: that's so cute.
- 2:07:21Speaker 8: You ready?
- 2:07:22Speaker 2: Yeah. You ready?
- 2:07:23Speaker 3: What?
- 2:07:23Speaker 2: The Atlantis display. Oh, yeah. That's a good one. That
- 2:07:27Speaker 2: is such a good one. When you go to the
- 2:07:28Speaker 2: Kennedy Space Center and you go through the Atlantis display
- 2:07:31Speaker 2: and they peel that wall back at the end of
- 2:07:32Speaker 2: the display and there's the Atlantis, dude, it is impossible. Yeah.
- 2:07:37Speaker 2: My mom wept. Yeah. No, it's a moment. That is
- 2:07:41Speaker 2: a moment. That is a moment. I mean, I don't
- 2:07:43Speaker 2: know if American has anything to do with it, but
- 2:07:45Speaker 2: that achievement, that story going in, man.
- 2:07:48Speaker 3: I'll tell you another one. When you go behind the
- 2:07:50Speaker 3: wall and it's a sad memorial, but they have the
- 2:07:54Speaker 3: window screen. from the space shuttle Columbia.
- 2:07:57Speaker 2: Oh, do they really?
- 2:07:57Speaker 3: That they had retrieved after it had exploded over Texas.
- 2:08:02Speaker 3: And when you see that, you're just goosebumps and tears.
- 2:08:05Speaker 3: For me today, it was hearing Eni Kimoze with Out
- 2:08:08Speaker 3: in the Street, They Call It Murder. Wasn't expecting that
- 2:08:11Speaker 3: on the car stereo.
- 2:08:12Speaker 2: All right. It's pretty awesome. There is something there is
- 2:08:16Speaker 2: still something magical in our human lives. And Goosebumps is
- 2:08:21Speaker 2: my smoking gun evidence to see to tell you, hey, look,
- 2:08:26Speaker 2: there's still some whimsy. We just got to look at
- 2:08:28Speaker 2: the right thing. You've hit a chord, buddy. It says,
- 2:08:31Speaker 2: watching Ozzy being honored while on a throne at that
- 2:08:34Speaker 2: last Back to the Past or whatever it was thing
- 2:08:37Speaker 2: they did for Ozzy, and he dies the next day.
- 2:08:40Speaker 2: Not only do I love being a human, but I
- 2:08:42Speaker 2: also love human speeches. And watch this. I'll make it
- 2:08:45Speaker 2: make sense. Watch this segue. I love Conan's speech about
- 2:08:48Speaker 2: not being cynical. I also love Jimmy V's speech. And there's,
- 2:08:53Speaker 2: I can't believe I'm going to say this, but there's
- 2:08:55Speaker 2: one correction that I would add to that very famous
- 2:08:58Speaker 2: speech where he talks about if you laugh and if
- 2:09:00Speaker 2: you cry in a day, well, damn, that's a good day.
- 2:09:02Speaker 2: Throw in goosebumps. If you laugh, cry, and you found
- 2:09:06Speaker 2: yourself having goosebumps, brother, that's top shelf right there. You
- 2:09:09Speaker 2: just got the best spirit at the bar. Very nice, buddy.
- 2:09:12Speaker 2: Those are your raw thoughts. Great raw thoughts. I'm out.
- 2:09:15Speaker 19: Peace.
- 2:09:15Speaker 2: All right.
- 2:09:15Speaker 19: 407-916-1041.
- 2:09:16Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 2:09:16Speaker 2: Golf clap on that one.
- 2:09:17Speaker 7: I agree.
- 2:09:17Speaker 2: That was a damn good one. Better than yesterday. I agree.
- 2:09:22Speaker 2: I agree with that as well. It gave me chicken skin.
- 2:09:25Speaker 2: All right. Dollar is your six o'clock keyword. D-O-L-L-A-R. Go
- 2:09:29Speaker 2: to RealRadio.fm and send that off for your chance at
- 2:09:31Speaker 2: a thousand bucks. Back in one sec.
- 2:09:33Speaker 18: From the airport into the city proper and coming through
- 2:09:36Speaker 18: the Fort Pitt Tunnel, you start on the one side
- 2:09:39Speaker 18: of the mountain. All you see are the rocks and
- 2:09:41Speaker 18: the trees. You come through the tunnel and.
- 2:09:43Speaker 2: Bam, big city.
- 2:09:46Speaker 18: Big buildings, the stadium, it's awesome. Goosebumps every time. Yeah.
- 2:09:53Speaker 6: Hey, guys.
- 2:09:53Speaker 2: Tim and Jimmy.
- 2:09:54Speaker 19: So I'm not a big fan of the government, but
- 2:09:57Speaker 19: I am a big fan of America and our country.
- 2:10:00Speaker 19: And the last one I had was, you know, either
- 2:10:04Speaker 19: America the Beautiful or Star Spangled Banner. It got me,
- 2:10:09Speaker 19: and it'll always get me.
- 2:10:11Speaker 2: Peace.
- 2:10:12Speaker 11: Peace.
- 2:10:13Speaker 2: What's up, Colbert Show? What's up, homie?
- 2:10:15Speaker 15: What gave me goosebumps the last time I can remember
- 2:10:18Speaker 15: was at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.
- 2:10:22Speaker 2: And I didn't really expect.
- 2:10:23Speaker 15: To be kind of overcome with the emotions, but just
- 2:10:27Speaker 15: the thought of all the history that had taken place
- 2:10:30Speaker 15: in that spot. The German army marched through there in
- 2:10:34Speaker 15: World War II. It's an amazing thing to think about
- 2:10:38Speaker 15: all the things that happened at that spot.
- 2:10:41Speaker 2: See ya.
- 2:10:42Speaker 9: Hey, JCS crew. Last time I got goosebumps was two
- 2:10:47Speaker 9: moments that I remember profoundly. It was the first time
- 2:10:51Speaker 9: I saw the Grand Canyon, and I could not catch
- 2:10:54Speaker 9: my breath. I had an Icon camera and didn't even
- 2:10:58Speaker 9: use it. I just sat there and just walked. Before
- 2:11:03Speaker 9: that was a nighttime rainbow over St.
- 2:11:07Speaker 2: Thomas.
- 2:11:09Speaker 11: That was a wicked Ross Thoughts and just has my
- 2:11:11Speaker 11: mind thinking right now because in the past year, I
- 2:11:14Speaker 11: learned that when your body goes through goosebumps while listening
- 2:11:19Speaker 11: to music, there's actually a name for that called frisson.
- 2:11:23Speaker 6: Frisson.
- 2:11:24Speaker 2: Frisson. Yeah, frisson.
- 2:11:26Speaker 11: It's really a great experience, and I always get it.
- 2:11:29Speaker 3: Get that every time I hear Tool.
- 2:11:30Speaker 2: Yeah, we talked about that.
- 2:11:31Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah.
- 2:11:32Speaker 2: Somebody just sent me a Tool lyric. I saw that.
- 2:11:35Speaker 2: You guys, man. From laughing my ass off yesterday about
- 2:11:38Speaker 2: Lemonhead to.
- 2:11:40Speaker 3: Getting emotional about Goosebumps.
- 2:11:42Speaker 2: Number one, Ross. Phenomenal job there.
- 2:11:47Speaker 11: Definitely puts a little enlightenment in there.
- 2:11:52Speaker 8: Yeah, man.
- 2:11:53Speaker 4: Great subject.
- 2:11:54Speaker 6: Loved it.
- 2:11:54Speaker 2: Thanks, buddy. Appreciate that so much.
- 2:11:55Speaker 9: I agree.
- 2:11:57Speaker 2: We made it to the end of the track. Welcome
- 2:12:00Speaker 2: back to the Jim Colbert Show, Real Radio 104.1. I
- 2:12:02Speaker 2: am Jim. There's Deb. Hello. Jack.
- 2:12:04Speaker 3: Yep.
- 2:12:04Speaker 2: And Ross. It's true. Your sixth thought keyword is dollar, D-O-L-L-A-R.
- 2:12:08Speaker 2: Go to realradio.fm and send that away for your chance
- 2:12:10Speaker 2: at $ 1, 000. We hope you win. We had a winner
- 2:12:12Speaker 2: yesterday at this hour. Hope to add at least one
- 2:12:15Speaker 2: more for sure. Maybe get one more tomorrow as well. Uh, yeah, man,
- 2:12:18Speaker 2: what a great topic. I mean, I, I, it's so
- 2:12:20Speaker 2: funny when I said that's a great, we'll give you
- 2:12:22Speaker 2: a little golf back there. I was not expecting that
- 2:12:24Speaker 2: amount of talk back. The funny thing is I never,
- 2:12:26Speaker 2: you don't really get into conversations about like, you know,
- 2:12:28Speaker 2: goosebumps or what causes that. And the funny thing is, is,
- 2:12:31Speaker 2: you know, there is no economic or socially cultural. that
- 2:12:37Speaker 2: hold you into that. You know what I'm saying? It
- 2:12:39Speaker 2: doesn't matter where you are on the social or cultural spectrum.
- 2:12:43Speaker 2: If you're a human being, you can experience this. I
- 2:12:46Speaker 2: think that's awesome. I think my favorite part about Goosebumps,
- 2:12:49Speaker 2: and I know I said it on the last segment,
- 2:12:50Speaker 2: I hate to repeat, but the fact that our body
- 2:12:53Speaker 2: responds to something abstract is.
- 2:12:58Speaker 2: Show me a better, closer thing to magic than that.
- 2:13:01Speaker 2: It's funny. I don't know about you guys, but we're
- 2:13:03Speaker 2: all Floridians here. Deb, when did you move to Florida, Debra? 89.
- 2:13:07Speaker 6: In 89.
- 2:13:07Speaker 2: And Jack? 89. 89. So both of you guys.
- 2:13:10Speaker 3: The same year Ross was born.
- 2:13:11Speaker 4: I also showed up here in 89. Deb and I
- 2:13:16Speaker 4: came together and we had Ross.
- 2:13:18Speaker 2: Yes, we did. The radio love child. I thought I
- 2:13:20Speaker 2: would be more tan. You should have been. But, you know,
- 2:13:24Speaker 2: although we do take the launches kind of for granted now,
- 2:13:29Speaker 2: I mean, I think we can all agree when they
- 2:13:31Speaker 2: started launching the space shuttles in here. Oh, yeah. I mean,
- 2:13:34Speaker 2: just the pride in our country for doing this was
- 2:13:38Speaker 2: kind of overwhelming. I remember getting goosebumps during those moments.
- 2:13:41Speaker 2: I get a hundred moments with my children. Um, but
- 2:13:44Speaker 2: you know, of course those are gone now because they're,
- 2:13:46Speaker 2: they're adults and we don't, I don't have that experience
- 2:13:49Speaker 2: much anymore. Um, but yeah, man, um, uh, here's being
- 2:13:52Speaker 2: scared that this is a layup of a goosebump for me.
- 2:13:55Speaker 2: And I think it's going to surprise you, Jim, and
- 2:13:58Speaker 2: a lot of our listeners, Chris Stapleton's Anthem. For the
- 2:14:05Speaker 2: 2023 Super Bowl? Yeah, it was a good one. I
- 2:14:08Speaker 2: think I just caused people goosebumps. That rendition is like...
- 2:14:13Speaker 2: It's haunting. It's motivating. It makes me feel every hue
- 2:14:18Speaker 2: of red, white, and blue.
- 2:14:19Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 2:14:20Speaker 2: It is... Oh, I just got goosebumps. Oh, stop. Yeah, look.
- 2:14:24Speaker 2: I'll put it on the camera. Stop, that's fake. That's
- 2:14:26Speaker 2: fake goosebumps. Chris Stapleton's anthem does it for me. Jack,
- 2:14:30Speaker 2: is there something that's not patriotic that does it for you?
- 2:14:32Speaker 2: Like a song or something? One of Bruce's tunes?
- 2:14:36Speaker 4: Yeah, music can do it if it's in the right
- 2:14:38Speaker 4: moment or something where it's making that connection, right? That
- 2:14:42Speaker 4: emotional connection. And that's hard for me to do because,
- 2:14:45Speaker 4: you know, the little few emotions I have are hard
- 2:14:48Speaker 4: to find.
- 2:14:49Speaker 2: Yeah, we've carterized those. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So connecting with them,
- 2:14:52Speaker 2: that's a magic trick. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What Bruce song
- 2:14:55Speaker 2: does it to you more than any of them?
- 2:14:58Speaker 9: Oh.
- 2:15:00Speaker 3: Born to Run.
- 2:15:02Speaker 2: Well, I mean, yeah. Yes, that's exciting.
- 2:15:05Speaker 4: And when it's live and there's the moment in that,
- 2:15:09Speaker 4: that is a big one.
- 2:15:11Speaker 3: That's our generation. I mean, our yearbook cover was the
- 2:15:15Speaker 3: handkerchief out the back of our uniform skirt.
- 2:15:18Speaker 2: And sometimes.
- 2:15:21Speaker 4: In a concert, you know, when everyone has that shared experience,
- 2:15:25Speaker 4: when he's doing that song and the lights are on,
- 2:15:29Speaker 4: that's one of.
- 2:15:29Speaker 2: Those, look, there it goes. Hey! Because, hey, you're sharing
- 2:15:35Speaker 2: that moment. Yeah, I know exactly what you're saying, though, dude, because, like,
- 2:15:38Speaker 2: somebody just texted in a Tool thing, and I'm like,
- 2:15:41Speaker 2: the song I was telling you about going on the
- 2:15:42Speaker 2: way home is, like, there's a Tool has a song
- 2:15:44Speaker 2: called Eulogy. And it's a really interesting song because it's
- 2:15:48Speaker 2: about Scientology. But the way the lyric kind of breaks down,
- 2:15:52Speaker 2: there are certain moments in the tune where you're just like,
- 2:15:55Speaker 2: you know. I mean, it's just– it's very powerful to me,
- 2:15:58Speaker 2: you know.
- 2:15:59Speaker 3: I feel that way about Stink Fist.
- 2:16:00Speaker 2: I have a– Wow, what a statement. Could you mark that, please?
- 2:16:05Speaker 2: Is that all caps, I assume? Yeah. It's got to be, right?
- 2:16:09Speaker 2: Not hyphenated one word. And one of the bangers songs
- 2:16:13Speaker 2: of all time. Of all time. If you haven't heard
- 2:16:14Speaker 2: Stink Fist from Tool, go listen. Oh, my God. It'll
- 2:16:18Speaker 2: go deep within the borderline. This is going to be
- 2:16:21Speaker 2: a pretty gay question. I'm going to ask it. Gay!
- 2:16:24Speaker 2: All right. How important... Jack, you almost killed Jack. I
- 2:16:30Speaker 2: gave him throat bumps.
- 2:16:31Speaker 6: All right.
- 2:16:31Speaker 4: You see a doctor about that.
- 2:16:35Speaker 2: Not always. This is a weird, pretty gay Bruce Springsteen question.
- 2:16:43Speaker 2: How important was his butt? What? Like to his career.
- 2:16:47Speaker 2: You mean because of the album cover for Born in
- 2:16:49Speaker 2: the USA is just a still shot of his ass?
- 2:16:52Speaker 2: I can name. I don't say this inflammatory. I don't
- 2:16:55Speaker 2: know too much about Bruce Springsteen. But one of the
- 2:16:58Speaker 2: things I know is the Obama podcast. I know about
- 2:17:02Speaker 2: Born in the USA. I know about the. He's a loner.
- 2:17:05Speaker 2: The jeans. He's a solo. He's got the E Street band.
- 2:17:07Speaker 2: He's filled with talent. One of the hardest working people
- 2:17:10Speaker 2: and allegedly one of the best butts. I mean, he
- 2:17:14Speaker 2: does have a healthy glutimous Maximus. I wasn't expecting... Or
- 2:17:17Speaker 2: glutious Maximus. I thought Jack was going to respond first.
- 2:17:20Speaker 2: I'm not going to lie. Hell yeah, brother. He does
- 2:17:24Speaker 2: have a big old Bruce ass. I mean, you can
- 2:17:26Speaker 2: see it. It's like showcase on Born to Run. Isn't
- 2:17:28Speaker 2: that like... That's the entire album cover. Yeah, Born in
- 2:17:32Speaker 2: the USA is the one where... Yeah, it's the close-up
- 2:17:34Speaker 2: of his butt. Like, his butt... I'm not saying it
- 2:17:37Speaker 2: was his career, but it helped it, right? I don't know, dude.
- 2:17:40Speaker 2: It did not. Songwriting is what helped his career.
- 2:17:42Speaker 14: Yeah.
- 2:17:43Speaker 2: That album, though, did launch him to superstardom. Yeah, yeah.
- 2:17:47Speaker 2: But it also made him a little bit of a
- 2:17:49Speaker 2: sex star. It also made him a little bit of a.
- 2:17:51Speaker 4: Also, because he was kind of a wiry guy. He
- 2:17:53Speaker 4: was pretty thin, and he worked out leading into that.
- 2:17:56Speaker 4: So when the video came out for Dancing in the
- 2:18:00Speaker 4: Dark and stuff... It was more his arms.
- 2:18:02Speaker 2: He was buff. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 2:18:03Speaker 3: That was more his arms with the cutoff, the shirts.
- 2:18:05Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
- 2:18:06Speaker 3: It was more his arms than his butt, for sure.
- 2:18:08Speaker 8: All right.
- 2:18:09Speaker 2: Good to know. Then he turned around and had that
- 2:18:11Speaker 2: underbite and things got weird. That bottom jaw trumps that ass. Yeah,
- 2:18:18Speaker 2: I don't know. Within the fandom of Springsteen, I've always wondered,
- 2:18:23Speaker 2: is he a sex symbol? Or is it all... Sexable
- 2:18:28Speaker 2: in the sense that I think a rebel that isn't
- 2:18:31Speaker 2: like classically James Dean-ish kind of good-looking could be because
- 2:18:34Speaker 2: of what he stood for. Because he stood up to
- 2:18:39Speaker 2: the man, so that would make him sexy. But I
- 2:18:42Speaker 2: don't know if he looks sexy. He's not like Michael Hutchins.
- 2:18:45Speaker 4: I have an older sister who still considers him her brother.
- 2:18:49Speaker 4: boyfriend or future husband or something.
- 2:18:52Speaker 3: I like the way I felt about Sting.
- 2:18:55Speaker 2: Gavin Rossdale is one of those guys. He kind of blows.
- 2:19:00Speaker 2: It's always fun, right?
- 2:19:02Speaker 4: The iPad and the babysitter thing?
- 2:19:04Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. The amount of times that has run into
- 2:19:07Speaker 2: that exact social scenario where you're like, as a dude,
- 2:19:10Speaker 2: you're talking to a girl and you're like, you know,
- 2:19:11Speaker 2: like Orlando Bloom. And then they go, and then all
- 2:19:14Speaker 2: of a sudden you're defending how hot Orlando Bloom is.
- 2:19:18Speaker 2: And you're like, wait a second. I'm like, wait a minute.
- 2:19:20Speaker 2: Have you seen this guy's eye? One time I got goosebumps.
- 2:19:26Speaker 2: You catch yourself really finding something about yourself by the
- 2:19:28Speaker 2: end of the conversation. It's so funny because rock and
- 2:19:30Speaker 2: roll really doesn't understand good looking because you can see
- 2:19:33Speaker 2: the most beat up, horrible, hack-faced kook of all time.
- 2:19:37Speaker 3: You mean Dee Snider?
- 2:19:38Speaker 2: And he's dripping in chicks. It's a thing. It's a vibe.
- 2:19:42Speaker 2: I think that's kind of what Bruce did.
- 2:19:44Speaker 3: I know Dee was a really nice guy. I heard
- 2:19:46Speaker 3: he was a really nice guy.
- 2:19:47Speaker 2: He is a great guy.
- 2:19:48Speaker 3: Good Lord, that blue eye shadow never should have been
- 2:19:50Speaker 3: on his face.
- 2:19:51Speaker 4: To Ross's point, though, spring scene, going into that Born
- 2:19:54Speaker 4: in the USA, and we're talking that came out in 84,
- 2:19:57Speaker 4: he definitely got– buff before then and i think he
- 2:20:03Speaker 4: kind of leaned into that as well but he's why
- 2:20:05Speaker 4: you know he approved the picture right right right but
- 2:20:08Speaker 4: he's not like uh he's not workout buff he's like
- 2:20:12Speaker 4: uh i've been carrying transmissions all.
- 2:20:14Speaker 2: Day It's more likable. It's like I've been running a
- 2:20:20Speaker 2: pallet jack all day buff. It's not like a– it's
- 2:20:22Speaker 2: a greasy buff. I tell you what. It's not shiny buff.
- 2:20:25Speaker 2: It's greasy buff.
- 2:20:26Speaker 4: I think he was– in 84, 85, he was workout buff,
- 2:20:30Speaker 4: but he had– I'm telling you.
- 2:20:32Speaker 2: He rolled his jean shirt up. You can't be working
- 2:20:34Speaker 2: out buff in a jean shirt.
- 2:20:37Speaker 4: He has the equity of being the working man, even
- 2:20:42Speaker 4: though his one job his entire life has been music.
- 2:20:45Speaker 2: That's it. He hasn't returned a wrench in his life,
- 2:20:48Speaker 2: but he looks like he lives with one. Exactly.
- 2:20:50Speaker 8: All right.
- 2:20:50Speaker 2: Another weird question, and hopefully this isn't inflammatory because I
- 2:20:53Speaker 2: know you're a big Springsteen fan. Again? I'm a huge
- 2:20:56Speaker 2: David Bowie fan. Oh, yeah. Is calling Springsteen American Bowie... Yeah,
- 2:21:03Speaker 2: that is not even close. No, yeah, Bowie, not even close.
- 2:21:06Speaker 2: That would be more of a sting scenario, and even
- 2:21:09Speaker 2: that isn't close. I don't think we ever had the
- 2:21:12Speaker 2: great white duke. We don't think we had a great
- 2:21:14Speaker 2: white duke in America. He was just so alien. Yeah.
- 2:21:17Speaker 2: Like four different times. That is a great question, though.
- 2:21:20Speaker 2: I would have no idea who to parallel, what American
- 2:21:24Speaker 2: artist to parallel with David Bowie. I mean, I wouldn't
- 2:21:27Speaker 2: even know where to begin with that.
- 2:21:28Speaker 3: I could only think of an actor like Gary Oldman.
- 2:21:30Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean, like, Jack is like a gigantic
- 2:21:32Speaker 2: music fan. I mean, Jack, could you think of anybody
- 2:21:35Speaker 2: in America, like in our American music history that would
- 2:21:37Speaker 2: be parallel to like what Bowie's done and his vibe? Like,
- 2:21:40Speaker 2: you know, the real kind of like Rico Kassick, maybe
- 2:21:43Speaker 2: just because of the. No, because he doesn't have that.
- 2:21:45Speaker 3: He didn't have that level of talent.
- 2:21:47Speaker 2: He didn't have the provenance or the talent. Ask the
- 2:21:49Speaker 2: Internet and the Internet shall speak. Listen, Prince.
- 2:21:54Speaker 1: No.
- 2:21:54Speaker 3: No.
- 2:21:54Speaker 2: I disagree. I would put Prince. I would disagree.
- 2:21:57Speaker 3: Prince was rarer than Bowie. Bowie was polished.
- 2:22:00Speaker 2: Bowie was like royalty.
- 2:22:02Speaker 3: Demigod.
- 2:22:03Speaker 2: He was like royalty. I also look at Bowie of like, well,
- 2:22:06Speaker 2: which one? Because he literally went by a different name
- 2:22:09Speaker 2: in Ziggy Stardust for a little bit. And that's what
- 2:22:12Speaker 2: I always have. Even though I'm not the biggest Beatles fan,
- 2:22:15Speaker 2: I will always have an infinite amount of respect for
- 2:22:18Speaker 2: the Beatles fans. For lasting decades. Same here, buddy. I
- 2:22:20Speaker 2: feel the exact same way. I'm more of a Stones guy.
- 2:22:23Speaker 2: And it seems like in that era, you had to
- 2:22:24Speaker 2: be either a Stones guy or a Beatles guy. And
- 2:22:27Speaker 2: some people were throwing the Beach Boys there. It's almost
- 2:22:29Speaker 2: like a pet peeve when someone just disregards something that's
- 2:22:33Speaker 2: lasted multiple decades in entertaining people. Well, I mean, the
- 2:22:36Speaker 2: records they set when record sales still hold up to
- 2:22:38Speaker 2: this day. Well, I mean, yeah. The way that you
- 2:22:40Speaker 2: buy albums is different, but still, the popularity is insurmountable.
- 2:22:44Speaker 4: And I know there's so many people who go, oh,
- 2:22:45Speaker 4: I don't like the Beatles. My favorite artist is this.
- 2:22:48Speaker 4: And that person has been inspired by the Beatles.
- 2:22:52Speaker 2: Yeah. Ozzy was one. Yes, 100%. Well, Garth Brooks was
- 2:22:57Speaker 2: one as well. I think I may have somebody for
- 2:23:00Speaker 2: the David Bowie thing. Okay. And I just forgot. Okay.
- 2:23:05Speaker 2: Who did I just think? Oh, David Byrne from the
- 2:23:08Speaker 2: Talking Heads. Maybe a little bit.
- 2:23:10Speaker 3: A little. Only with the avant-garde side.
- 2:23:13Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. Not the almost like post-talking heads, but David
- 2:23:16Speaker 2: Byrne's there. I don't get it. I can only trust
- 2:23:20Speaker 2: other people's experiences with this next artist. And I do
- 2:23:24Speaker 2: think there's a BC, like, I don't want to bring
- 2:23:27Speaker 2: up religion, but like a before and after of him.
- 2:23:30Speaker 2: I think Bob Dylan could have an argument. For Bowie?
- 2:23:34Speaker 2: For just like... It was so out there. Yeah. At
- 2:23:39Speaker 2: least from what I've been told. I can only go
- 2:23:41Speaker 2: off of videos and books and people's experiences. Dylan was
- 2:23:44Speaker 2: so folk, and Bowie was never like folk. Bowie was
- 2:23:49Speaker 2: always kind of pushing the edge of what you even
- 2:23:51Speaker 2: considered music. I mean, it was kind of different. And
- 2:23:54Speaker 2: then again, only half of his persona was music. The
- 2:23:57Speaker 2: rest of it was like fashion and... and uh all
- 2:24:00Speaker 2: the other stuff and then he was a good actor
- 2:24:02Speaker 2: too he's a great actor did you see him in
- 2:24:03Speaker 2: elephant man it's so good did you see him portray
- 2:24:06Speaker 2: elephant man with no makeup i did not see elephant
- 2:24:08Speaker 2: dude you should go go clip that he did a
- 2:24:10Speaker 2: he did a uh a one manner i believe and
- 2:24:13Speaker 2: he was the elephant man uh joe i think merrick
- 2:24:15Speaker 2: was his name joseph merrick yeah and he played him
- 2:24:18Speaker 2: with no makeup so he had to kind of contort
- 2:24:21Speaker 2: himself to make you think that he was that grotesque
- 2:24:25Speaker 2: figure and without having the makeup. And it's brilliant.
- 2:24:28Speaker 6: Actually.
- 2:24:29Speaker 2: And the funny thing is my dad is kind of
- 2:24:30Speaker 2: a rough neck truck driver guy. And he thinks that's
- 2:24:33Speaker 2: one of the greatest performances from any actor of all time.
- 2:24:37Speaker 2: And I'm not like the, like when I listened to
- 2:24:38Speaker 2: Bob Dylan music, it's, it doesn't hit me because all
- 2:24:42Speaker 2: of his influence is after him. So I've, I've heard
- 2:24:46Speaker 2: his effect on music, but now when I listen to
- 2:24:49Speaker 2: the OG stuff, I'm like, oh, this is the 1.0. Yeah, agreed.
- 2:24:52Speaker 2: I don't get the Bob Dylan thing either, but I mean,
- 2:24:54Speaker 2: I wasn't in that era.
- 2:24:56Speaker 20: I was, yeah.
- 2:24:57Speaker 2: I wasn't in that era, and I think you had
- 2:24:58Speaker 2: to kind of be in there to be a part
- 2:25:00Speaker 2: of it.
- 2:25:00Speaker 4: I thought the Timothee Chalamet movie about Bob Dylan was
- 2:25:04Speaker 4: good at kind of explaining that 1.0 era of Bob
- 2:25:07Speaker 4: Dylan music. his, his rise to fame and what he
- 2:25:10Speaker 4: meant to that community. And, but then how he kind of,
- 2:25:15Speaker 4: when he went electric and then suddenly they're.
- 2:25:17Speaker 2: Like, Oh no, we're losing him.
- 2:25:19Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 2:25:19Speaker 13: Yeah.
- 2:25:20Speaker 2: The people freaked out because he played an electric guitar.
- 2:25:22Speaker 2: Cause he was so tied into folk music and acoustic guitars.
- 2:25:25Speaker 2: that when he played an electric guitar, people lost their mind.
- 2:25:28Speaker 2: It was a major story.
- 2:25:29Speaker 4: And they saw him as the savior, the guy to
- 2:25:32Speaker 4: put it on the map to make folk music compete
- 2:25:35Speaker 4: with every other genre.
- 2:25:36Speaker 2: And then when he plugs in his guitar, they're like, oh, no.
- 2:25:40Speaker 2: What's this guy doing? He sold him the mic. Yeah, exactly.
- 2:25:43Speaker 2: He joined the evil side. I'm underneath the impression, too,
- 2:25:46Speaker 2: and correct me if I'm wrong, please text in service,
- 2:25:48Speaker 2: that Bob Dylan... is one of the first artists that
- 2:25:51Speaker 2: kind of put super subjective, abstract, you take whatever you
- 2:25:57Speaker 2: want with it, whatever you will. The meaning is in
- 2:25:59Speaker 2: your eye. It was way more like... Yeah, because that
- 2:26:02Speaker 2: was the era of the poem Howl. Yeah. It seemed
- 2:26:07Speaker 2: like the first time like a higher reading level for
- 2:26:10Speaker 2: songs showed up. And Jack Kerouac was writing at that time, too.
- 2:26:13Speaker 2: So that that kind of what's that word, Jack? What's
- 2:26:16Speaker 2: the word, Deb? Hipster. Yeah, but it's that type of
- 2:26:19Speaker 2: writing was kind of hipster. But there's a beat. That's
- 2:26:22Speaker 2: exactly it. But that whole thing is that acoustic lo-fi
- 2:26:26Speaker 2: kind of thing was like a movement, you know, right
- 2:26:28Speaker 2: before the 60s hit with the like with the psychedelics
- 2:26:31Speaker 2: and stuff. Cool stuff. This is so much fun. I'm
- 2:26:35Speaker 2: going to ask you guys way more questions about music. 407-916-1041.
- 2:26:39Speaker 2: Text us 77031. You still have a few minutes for
- 2:26:41Speaker 2: your keyword dollar, D-O-L-L-A-R. You know what to do. Realradio.fm
- 2:26:46Speaker 2: and send that away for your chance at $ 1, 000 of
- 2:26:49Speaker 2: those dollars. Deb, what are we going to do for
- 2:26:50Speaker 2: You Heard It Here First?
- 2:26:52Speaker 3: Unfortunately, covering a story about multiple victims after an active
- 2:26:56Speaker 3: shooter at an Oregon elementary school. Closer to home, an
- 2:26:59Speaker 3: SUV plows into a Florida daycare.
- 2:27:02Speaker 2: Getting better by the minute.
- 2:27:03Speaker 3: Yeah. And another online service we'll label Machine Made Tracks.
- 2:27:07Speaker 3: We'll tell you what service next during You Heard It
- 2:27:09Speaker 3: Here First.
- 2:27:10Speaker 2: All right, just take a little break. We'll come back
- 2:27:11Speaker 2: and get Deb's news and get the hell out of
- 2:27:12Speaker 2: here on a Thursday.
- 2:27:13Speaker 1: Time for a Talkback Purge on The Jim Colbert Show.
- 2:27:19Speaker 8: Colbert crew, it's Sarah.
- 2:27:21Speaker 2: What's going on guys?
- 2:27:22Speaker 8: Am I the only female that actually takes super glue
- 2:27:24Speaker 8: to fix wounds? So the other day I cut my
- 2:27:27Speaker 8: thumb with a very sharp serrated knife and probably should
- 2:27:31Speaker 8: have gotten a couple stitches, but put a few band-aids
- 2:27:33Speaker 8: on it. When I say a few, I mean, I
- 2:27:35Speaker 8: wrapped like two, three band-aids on at one time because
- 2:27:38Speaker 8: it was bleeding quite a bit. So the next day
- 2:27:41Speaker 8: I'm just putting super glue on it and hoping for
- 2:27:43Speaker 8: the best. But am I the only one that does that?
- 2:27:45Speaker 9: No.
- 2:27:46Speaker 11: Okay, cool.
- 2:27:46Speaker 8: Bye.
- 2:27:47Speaker 2: Bye.
- 2:27:48Speaker 3: That's hardcore.
- 2:27:48Speaker 2: I love that.
- 2:27:49Speaker 13: My vote for an American Bowie would be Alice Cooper because.
- 2:27:53Speaker 4: Of all the.
- 2:27:54Speaker 13: His theatrics and he's had a couple of different personas
- 2:27:58Speaker 13: and phases of his career as well.
- 2:28:00Speaker 3: And he's still going.
- 2:28:01Speaker 2: I understand the comparison, but I don't think it's there.
- 2:28:03Speaker 6: Goosebumps conversation. Totally not emotional, although that happens all the
- 2:28:09Speaker 6: time as well. But it happens to me all the time.
- 2:28:14Speaker 6: And oddly enough, I know this is really weird. It
- 2:28:19Speaker 6: happens like if I have a really good peak. I'll
- 2:28:22Speaker 6: get like chills and goosebumps.
- 2:28:28Speaker 2: I thought we were making a real connection. We are.
- 2:28:32Speaker 2: Like a straight up logger. Like a guy who's like,
- 2:28:34Speaker 2: this guy sells paper towels in flannel. And then he
- 2:28:38Speaker 2: hits me with the pee thing. I thought we were
- 2:28:40Speaker 2: going like a parent died or something.
- 2:28:42Speaker 8: Right.
- 2:28:42Speaker 2: I was expecting the absolute worst. This guy's just like, hey, man,
- 2:28:45Speaker 2: you know, bladder work. I'm down. Goosebump crazy. Okay. One more.
- 2:28:49Speaker 2: Love it, buddy.
- 2:28:52Speaker 14: The last time I had goosebumps and tears was at
- 2:28:56Speaker 14: my 44th heart show at the Amphitheater in Tampa.
- 2:29:01Speaker 2: Oh, I was at that one.
- 2:29:01Speaker 14: When they did Stairway to Heaven.
- 2:29:04Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
- 2:29:05Speaker 14: And a choir came rising from the back of the stage.
- 2:29:10Speaker 2: The thing with Ann Wilson. And it's a.
- 2:29:13Speaker 14: Moment I will never, ever forget.
- 2:29:16Speaker 2: You win the day.
- 2:29:17Speaker 9: Goosebumps.
- 2:29:18Speaker 2: Chills, tears. Yay! You win the day. That's got to
- 2:29:22Speaker 2: be the last one. There's nobody that can top that.
- 2:29:24Speaker 2: You're 100% right. Jack and I have had an hour-long
- 2:29:27Speaker 2: conversation about that particular show because not only is Jack's
- 2:29:33Speaker 2: wife a massive Hart fan, That band really kind of
- 2:29:36Speaker 2: helped her forge her personality of singing. So it's like
- 2:29:40Speaker 2: important to them. But it is an unbelievable performance. And
- 2:29:43Speaker 2: when you see Jimmy Page and Robert Plant crying at it.
- 2:29:46Speaker 4: At the Kennedy Center Honors. And when we interviewed Ann Wilson,
- 2:29:50Speaker 4: I was able to tell her. I thought that was
- 2:29:53Speaker 4: the best four minutes of television.
- 2:29:55Speaker 2: Maybe in television history. Couldn't agree more.
- 2:29:57Speaker 4: Them performing that. And when the choir in the background
- 2:30:00Speaker 4: comes up.
- 2:30:00Speaker 2: Get out. I get chills just thinking about it. Get out. 100%.
- 2:30:05Speaker 2: All right, there you go. That's the purge.
- 2:30:06Speaker 4: 407.
- 2:30:08Speaker 2: I'm not saying the stupid number again. Nobody hit me.
- 2:30:11Speaker 2: I don't know. It's just such a terrible habit to
- 2:30:13Speaker 2: say it all the time. Somebody challenged me the other day.
- 2:30:15Speaker 2: He said, can you get through an entire show without
- 2:30:16Speaker 2: doing it? I'm like, I doubt it. I mean, I
- 2:30:18Speaker 2: can give it a shot, but I doubt it. All right, Deb,
- 2:30:21Speaker 2: let's do You Hurt It Here first.
- 2:30:24Speaker 1: It's time for You Heard It Here First on The
- 2:30:27Speaker 1: Jim Colbert Show.
- 2:30:28Speaker 3: Police in Oregon say there are multiple victims, including children,
- 2:30:32Speaker 3: after an active shooter situation at an elementary school.
- 2:30:36Speaker 2: The shooter had been shot and killed. We do not know.
- 2:30:41Speaker 8: We don't have confirmation yet who shot the suspect.
- 2:30:45Speaker 2: It may have been a bystander.
- 2:30:46Speaker 3: A spokesperson for police in Bend says this took place
- 2:30:50Speaker 3: this afternoon at Silver Rail Elementary School. The latest update
- 2:30:54Speaker 3: is that law enforcement sources say three children and one
- 2:30:57Speaker 3: adult died in the shooting.
- 2:30:59Speaker 2: Unbelievable, dude.
- 2:31:00Speaker 3: Authorities here in Central Florida say three juveniles, three kids
- 2:31:03Speaker 3: and two adults were hospitalized after a SUV plowed into
- 2:31:07Speaker 3: an Orlando area daycare center today. Florida Highway Patrol says
- 2:31:11Speaker 3: a Honda CRV crashed into the daycare after it ran
- 2:31:14Speaker 3: off the roadway. Helicopter video shows the car completely inside
- 2:31:19Speaker 3: the daycare. The FHP calls this an active scene. There's
- 2:31:22Speaker 3: no word on what caused the crash, but the building
- 2:31:24Speaker 3: has been deemed unsafe. The good news is everyone.
- 2:31:28Speaker 2: Is expected to survive. That's awesome. To be okay.
- 2:31:33Speaker 3: YouTube will now flag AI-generated songs on its platform and
- 2:31:38Speaker 3: YouTube Music. Joining a growing list of services labeling machine-made
- 2:31:43Speaker 3: tracks in a blog post on Wednesday, the company said, quote,
- 2:31:46Speaker 3: our listeners have told us they want transparency when they're
- 2:31:49Speaker 3: hearing an AI-generated track, end quote. The makers will identify
- 2:31:54Speaker 3: songs deemed primarily AI-generated through detection tools and music partners.
- 2:31:59Speaker 3: YouTube's move follows similar efforts by music streaming services such
- 2:32:03Speaker 3: as Apple Music, Spotify, and Tidal to label music created
- 2:32:07Speaker 3: with artificial intelligence. And you heard it here first on
- 2:32:10Speaker 3: The Jim Colbert Show.

- 2:32:43Speaker 2: of the day. Do you call them goose bumps or
- 2:32:45Speaker 2: goose pimples?
- 2:32:47Speaker 3: Ooh, that's a good one. I think we grew up
- 2:32:49Speaker 3: calling them goose pimples.
- 2:32:49Speaker 2: Did you really?
- 2:32:50Speaker 3: I think that's a northern thing.
- 2:32:52Speaker 2: I will say, gosh almighty, I'm going to say 84%
- 2:32:56Speaker 2: say goose bumps. You nailed it on the head. It's
