1:46
Speaker 2: What a day, huh?
1:47
Speaker 5: Could use a nap.
1:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just walked out of the other bathroom right
1:50
Speaker 2: before we came on the air, and I looked right,
1:51
Speaker 2: and we have a giant pain window. And I said, man,
1:53
Speaker 2: that does not look like the kind of weather anybody
1:55
Speaker 2: wants to work in. Like, I don't know anybody that
1:58
Speaker 2: would look outside and would like to just be inside,
2:01
Speaker 2: watching TV, under a blanket, something nice to drink. I
2:05
Speaker 2: don't know what the psychology is when the clouds turn
2:10
Speaker 2: gray and it gets all muggy and rainy like this.
2:13
Speaker 2: That just soup sounds good. Oh, man. Why does all
2:16
Speaker 2: the cozy things? I just become a basic bitch, to
2:19
Speaker 2: be honest with you. What happens is, dude, is you're
2:21
Speaker 2: forced to stay inside. That's the thing. In Florida, one
2:24
Speaker 2: of the great things about the state of Florida is
2:26
Speaker 2: pretty much year-round, you can go outside and do some
2:28
Speaker 2: cool stuff. We don't have to worry about shoveling snow
2:31
Speaker 2: or chipping our way out of our homes. Come January, December,
2:34
Speaker 2: you know, February, we can still go and do stuff.
2:36
Speaker 2: So anytime there's a day that kind of forces us
2:39
Speaker 2: to stay inside, I think we revel in it.
2:42
Speaker 4: I do.
2:42
Speaker 2: I love it. There are some places where this weather
2:44
Speaker 2: is 90% of the time. We get it, what, 10? Yeah, exactly.
2:48
Speaker 5: But there's no pressure on a day like today. There's
2:51
Speaker 5: no pressure.
2:53
Speaker 2: But, like, to my knowledge, I don't think you like
2:55
Speaker 2: pumpkin spice lattes.
2:57
Speaker 5: I've never had one, so I don't really know.
2:59
Speaker 2: So, like, on a day like this, though, doesn't it
3:01
Speaker 2: feel like your chances of a pumpkin spice latte increases?
3:04
Speaker 5: Exponentially.
3:05
Speaker 2: Like, they just appear in your house. So, like, I
3:08
Speaker 2: don't know. That's why what I'm curious about is, like,
3:12
Speaker 2: what is it in human nature that just all of
3:15
Speaker 2: a sudden this weather happened? Give me a good book. Yeah,
3:18
Speaker 2: I don't know what that is, man, but it certainly
3:20
Speaker 2: happened even to you, right? You're way younger than any
3:22
Speaker 2: of us. I always thought it was a generational thing, dude.
3:28
Speaker 2: I really did. I didn't know that younger people had
3:31
Speaker 2: the same feelings that people in their mid-50s and stuff.
3:36
Speaker 5: I think it's the human condition. I think you could
3:38
Speaker 5: go to any culture and find a cloudy, rainy day
3:42
Speaker 5: is just a day that people would pile up with
3:44
Speaker 5: family and friends and The work would stop. There's no housework.
3:48
Speaker 2: When it rains, I gossip. I just stay inside and gossip.
3:53
Speaker 2: I'll coil a phone cord around my phone, kick my
3:56
Speaker 2: feet up, talk about Chachi. Chachi. All of a sudden,
4:02
Speaker 2: it starts raining, you join The View. Yeah, I become
4:04
Speaker 2: The View. When the weather is like this, I'm all five.
4:08
Speaker 2: Whoopie twice. It's wild because of all the people on
4:11
Speaker 2: the show, Deb and I talk about this all the time,
4:13
Speaker 2: so I know it hits us like that. You, learning
4:17
Speaker 2: about this right now, for some reason, I don't feel
4:19
Speaker 2: it hits you the same way. It's like this weather
4:21
Speaker 2: doesn't have this effect on you, does it, Jack? The
4:23
Speaker 2: weather outside is what my internal system is like 24-7.
4:29
Speaker 2: But then how does it produce that facade? It's all
4:34
Speaker 2: below the surface. I love it. Just barely, though. We
4:38
Speaker 2: can almost see it through your skin. So you don't
4:40
Speaker 2: get poetry vibes on a day like this? No, it does.
4:45
Speaker 2: But also, I just fought a cold. So it was
4:50
Speaker 2: like this weather was matching exactly how I was feeling.
4:54
Speaker 2: I could feel that. If you had a cold, it
4:55
Speaker 2: was like they should be pissed off. Because it's almost like,
4:57
Speaker 2: you're right, it matches it outside and inside. It was
5:00
Speaker 2: just like, we're in equilibrium. Got it. I misunderstood that
5:04
Speaker 2: first assessment you said. I thought you were talking about
5:07
Speaker 2: your character. I was like, what? I thought the same thing.
5:09
Speaker 2: I thought he felt like, oh, my insides are rainy
5:11
Speaker 2: and miserable. No, those would be mine. Okay, very good.
5:15
Speaker 6: All right.
5:16
Speaker 2: We'll elaborate on that later. No, no need.
5:18
Speaker 7: 407-216-1041.
5:18
Speaker 2: Text us at 77031. I have a quick question.
5:27
Speaker 5: There we go.
5:28
Speaker 8: No, no, no.
5:29
Speaker 2: It's just a simple one. It really is. I have
5:30
Speaker 2: a more fun one a little bit later in the show. Today,
5:32
Speaker 2: by the way, is National Hero Day. I don't know
5:34
Speaker 2: if you knew that. Did you? National Hero Day. Do
5:37
Speaker 2: you have heroes? Do you do that? People ask me
5:40
Speaker 2: that sometimes, and I'm like, I don't have a hero.
5:42
Speaker 2: I don't have that kind of thing where I look
5:45
Speaker 2: at somebody and I'm like, oh, man, for that person,
5:47
Speaker 2: I don't have that in my life for some reason.
5:50
Speaker 2: I mean, I have people I admire in my life
5:51
Speaker 2: that were great mentors, and none of them are like...
5:53
Speaker 2: I mean, very few of them are family members. They're
5:55
Speaker 2: just people in my life that said something to me
5:57
Speaker 2: at the right time at the right place that stuck,
5:59
Speaker 2: you know? Well, everyone's definition of hero is going to
6:02
Speaker 2: be incredibly subjective, right? My mom.
6:05
Speaker 6: Yeah.
6:06
Speaker 2: I look at my heroes and.
6:08
Speaker 5: My brother.
6:09
Speaker 2: They're celebrities. There's two celebrities that jumps out, that jump
6:13
Speaker 2: out to me. What's that? I would say Conan. Okay.
6:16
Speaker 2: And probably... Yeah. And that's just because like I appreciate
6:23
Speaker 2: their existence so much that I can't help but look
6:27
Speaker 2: up to them to a certain degree.
6:30
Speaker 4: Yeah.
6:30
Speaker 2: I mean, I would find them cool entertainers and I
6:32
Speaker 2: would look at them as very clever people who did
6:34
Speaker 2: very well in the entertainment business. But hero status, it
6:37
Speaker 2: would not hit me like that because they haven't like
6:39
Speaker 2: affected my life. positively i had an english teacher when
6:42
Speaker 2: i was really young say something to me that just
6:45
Speaker 2: really mattered um he told a story in summer school
6:48
Speaker 2: for the record because i'd failed out i had to
6:49
Speaker 2: go to summer school to make the english the english
6:52
Speaker 2: credit up he told a story about buying a car
6:54
Speaker 2: to impress people when he was young and uh for
6:57
Speaker 2: some reason that car that story stuck with me like
7:00
Speaker 2: like glue he said yeah i bought this really expensive
7:02
Speaker 2: car i got this big insurance cost i got this
7:05
Speaker 2: big car payment and everybody thought i was the coolest
7:07
Speaker 2: dude in the world for two weeks And then they
7:09
Speaker 2: didn't care at all about my new car. And for
7:12
Speaker 2: some reason, that little thing stuck with me. And that
7:14
Speaker 2: guy died literally the year after that, a couple years
7:18
Speaker 2: after that. And to this day, I will remember that
7:20
Speaker 2: conversation like it happened this morning. I don't know why.
7:24
Speaker 2: It just did. Conan has a speech about not being
7:28
Speaker 2: cynical that really resonates with me. Oh, that was his
7:32
Speaker 2: goodbye speech on The Tonight Show, right? Yeah, yeah. I
7:34
Speaker 2: strive for.
7:37
Speaker 2: To try to implement that, those words in my life.
7:40
Speaker 2: I probably go back to that speech. Maybe, I don't know,
7:43
Speaker 2: like once a year. Yeah, that's cool. I mean, I,
7:46
Speaker 2: I could, I could see that. I mean, you know,
7:48
Speaker 2: anything to kind of guide your life to make you
7:50
Speaker 2: make better decisions, I think is, is kind of a
7:52
Speaker 2: cool thing. I mean, you, you do hero stuff, Jack. Yeah.
7:55
Speaker 4: Yeah.
7:55
Speaker 2: Derek Jeter and the Yankees have sucked without him.
7:58
Speaker 10: Okay.
7:58
Speaker 1: Very good.
7:59
Speaker 5: Oh, you had to do that.
8:00
Speaker 2: Come on now. Deb, you have a hero thing.
8:02
Speaker 11: Yeah.
8:02
Speaker 5: Like I said, my mom, your mom.
8:03
Speaker 4: Yeah.
8:04
Speaker 11: Yeah.
8:04
Speaker 2: I think most people would probably consider it a parent.
8:06
Speaker 2: you know, maybe a teacher or a coach or something
8:08
Speaker 2: in their life.
8:09
Speaker 5: I mean, my mom came here at 21, couldn't speak
8:12
Speaker 5: the language. I mean, she had every single set of
8:16
Speaker 5: circumstances against her and just didn't let it stand in
8:18
Speaker 5: her way. She had two kids to feed. She learned
8:21
Speaker 5: how to make our food. She learned how to make
8:23
Speaker 5: our clothes.
8:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's great. That's exactly what you should have as
8:25
Speaker 2: a hero, I think. Yeah.
8:27
Speaker 12: Damn.
8:28
Speaker 2: I know my mom did not make clothes. Okay. Or
8:33
Speaker 2: really food. That's why I started laughing.
8:38
Speaker 9: 407-916-1041.
8:38
Speaker 2: Again, text us, 77031. All right, here's the question. But
8:41
Speaker 2: she got me clothes and food. Just want to clarify that.
8:43
Speaker 1: All right.
8:43
Speaker 2: She just didn't make it. I have been... I've been attempting...
8:49
Speaker 2: How do I do this without....
8:52
Speaker 11: Okay.
8:52
Speaker 2: Okay. let's say you've wanted to make a date with
8:56
Speaker 2: somebody and this, and this somebody you've never met before,
9:00
Speaker 2: let's say it's a business associate and you've started a
9:03
Speaker 2: conversation with this business associate or somebody you would like
9:06
Speaker 2: to have business with or do some things with, right?
9:09
Speaker 13: Oh, you mother.
9:10
Speaker 2: I know it was coming. And, um, When you contact
9:16
Speaker 2: this person, you say, man, I'd really like to get together,
9:18
Speaker 2: and I think we could do some cool stuff together.
9:20
Speaker 2: And that person said, yeah, I think so as well.
9:24
Speaker 2: Then you didn't hear anything. I was like, okay, so
9:27
Speaker 2: you text back and you go, hey, look, I was
9:29
Speaker 2: just kind of following up on that initial contact about
9:32
Speaker 2: something we could do together. See if we can land
9:35
Speaker 2: this plane. And that person then told me, hey, look,
9:38
Speaker 2: I'm going to need a little bit of time. My
9:39
Speaker 2: father passed. Their father passed away. I said, oh, geez,
9:44
Speaker 2: I am so sorry to hear that. Sure, man. You know,
9:47
Speaker 2: just contact me when things clear up for you. And
9:50
Speaker 2: you got to remember, I do not know this person.
9:52
Speaker 2: I've never met this person.
9:54
Speaker 11: All right.
9:55
Speaker 2: And um, so this person never contacted me back. This
9:58
Speaker 2: is like six weeks ago. What is the protocol even
10:02
Speaker 2: with that level of thing that happened that made them
10:06
Speaker 2: kind of not communicable at one point? You know what
10:09
Speaker 2: I'm saying? How much time do you give that before
10:11
Speaker 2: you reach back out and say– I think six weeks
10:13
Speaker 2: is plenty. You think six weeks– To say, hey, just
10:16
Speaker 2: checking back, see if you were still interested.
10:17
Speaker 5: Yeah, just circling back to see if you're in a
10:20
Speaker 5: better place to maybe move forward.
10:22
Speaker 2: Even with a mother-father, like immediate family member loss, six
10:26
Speaker 2: weeks is enough, you think? Six weeks to respond. to
10:30
Speaker 2: a text yeah well the only reason i say that
10:32
Speaker 2: is because i don't it's so subjective to how people
10:34
Speaker 2: like you don't know a relationship with that person sure
10:36
Speaker 2: i don't know like you think about like do you
10:39
Speaker 2: think if deb's let's not put that hypothetical out there
10:44
Speaker 2: what a weird let's just say some people have a
10:47
Speaker 2: closer relationship i'll use mine like if that was a
10:50
Speaker 2: scenario you know would i like if You're.
10:53
Speaker 5: Going to need to give me a couple years.
10:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. But that's kind of what I'm saying. And
10:57
Speaker 2: some people might be a couple days.
10:58
Speaker 8: Right.
10:59
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, right, though. It's true. It's 100% true.
11:03
Speaker 2: I mean, it's been going around here. We've had at
11:06
Speaker 2: least half a dozen employees in this building this year
11:09
Speaker 2: lose a parent.
11:10
Speaker 4: Right.
11:10
Speaker 2: I understand that. It's terrible. More than that.
11:12
Speaker 11: Right.
11:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's crazy.
11:14
Speaker 1: Right.
11:15
Speaker 2: But some people throw themselves into their work, and some people–
11:20
Speaker 2: Step back.
11:21
Speaker 11: Right.
11:21
Speaker 2: And I've been near scenarios where the person lost a
11:25
Speaker 2: family member and we're back at it three days later. Yeah.
11:29
Speaker 2: Like three days right back at it. No problem whatsoever.
11:32
Speaker 2: And had a good relationship with that person. And I
11:35
Speaker 2: just I didn't know. I don't want to be that guy.
11:37
Speaker 2: I don't want to be that person where the person
11:38
Speaker 2: can go back and go, wow, man, you know, I
11:41
Speaker 2: told you I needed some time. That's like that would
11:42
Speaker 2: be the nightmare response for me.
11:44
Speaker 5: You know, I think six. I think Jack is right, though.
11:47
Speaker 5: I think six weeks for someone that you've never met. um,
11:50
Speaker 5: is enough time. And if you wanted, maybe just wait
11:53
Speaker 5: another two weeks. Cause then that's a solid two months
11:55
Speaker 5: that you've waited.
11:56
Speaker 2: All right. I would have said one month.
11:58
Speaker 9: Yeah.
11:58
Speaker 2: You would have said one month. What do you think Ross?
12:00
Speaker 1: Yeah.
12:00
Speaker 2: I think four weeks.
12:01
Speaker 1: Yeah.
12:02
Speaker 2: Four weeks is a good, that's a good buffer. Even
12:06
Speaker 2: if someone was like, I waited two weeks, I'd be like,
12:08
Speaker 2: there's nothing wrong with that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And the
12:11
Speaker 2: other thing that made this a little bit more abnormal is,
12:14
Speaker 2: and Jack, I kind of know some of the people
12:15
Speaker 2: you're talking about. This was like a sudden thing. This
12:19
Speaker 2: wasn't like that person kind of was deteriorating over a
12:23
Speaker 2: period of time and the final came suddenly. It was
12:26
Speaker 2: apparently this was an OS that just happened. That's worse. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
12:31
Speaker 2: Back to four weeks for me. Yeah, yeah. I'm glad.
12:34
Speaker 2: I knew that you guys would give me a good answer.
12:36
Speaker 2: And to be honest with you, I was a little surprised.
12:37
Speaker 2: I actually thought you guys would say it wasn't enough.
12:40
Speaker 2: I thought maybe it would be a little bit longer.
12:41
Speaker 2: I thought it was moving a little too quickly. But
12:43
Speaker 2: also there's a component when it's your parents and– Are
12:49
Speaker 2: you the executor of the estate? Are you the one?
12:52
Speaker 2: What are the responsibilities you may have in post? And
12:55
Speaker 2: what did they do to plan for that? Did they
12:58
Speaker 2: have an estate plan? And because we've learned from having
13:01
Speaker 2: Ray Trenley with TK Law here, when you don't plan,
13:04
Speaker 2: you are leaving a bunch of problems and issues. For
13:07
Speaker 2: the people who survive you. Yeah, and I think I'm
13:09
Speaker 2: going to reach out tonight and see if I can
13:12
Speaker 2: get a response, and we'll kind of go from there.
13:14
Speaker 2: If they don't respond, I'll just kind of be like, okay, well,
13:16
Speaker 2: that's done, and they'll respond when they want. Agreed?
13:20
Speaker 8: Agreed.
13:21
Speaker 6: Agreed.

Speaker 2: I can't imagine.
14:02
Speaker 5: We'll talk about that and more coming up next during
14:04
Speaker 5: JCS News.
14:05
Speaker 2: You got it. Stay a little break. We'll come back
14:06
Speaker 2: and get Deb's news and continue on with the Jim
14:08
Speaker 2: Colbert Show.
14:10
Speaker 6: Put it.
14:14
Speaker 2: In the.
14:19
Speaker 2: You know him. That was a good one.
14:21
Speaker 14: It was.
14:22
Speaker 2: Yippee-ki-yay, back in the villas of Duval.
14:26
Speaker 12: And it is pouring down rain. Anyways, today we raise
14:33
Speaker 12: a beer to International Lesbian Day.
14:36
Speaker 2: It just means what I like.
14:37
Speaker 4: Huh?
14:39
Speaker 2: Hello, corporate hell.
14:44
Speaker 11: Hi, friend.
14:44
Speaker 2: This one's for Jack.
14:46
Speaker 5: Yacky hoes.
14:48
Speaker 2: Yankees lose. It's terrible.
14:54
Speaker 9: That's a tough one.
14:58
Speaker 2: It's not going to work on Jack, though. He's already
15:00
Speaker 2: kind of.
15:01
Speaker 2: He's already resigned himself to believe that they deserved it.
15:07
Speaker 2: That happened during the first inning of game two. Did
15:10
Speaker 2: it really? Those four errors. Or three, maybe. Three and
15:14
Speaker 2: a half. Yeah, but just too many. And it's like, oh,
15:20
Speaker 2: they're just giving this one away.
15:21
Speaker 8: Yeah, but.
15:22
Speaker 2: Congratulations to the Tampa Bay Rays. I think Kevin Cash
15:25
Speaker 2: deserves Manager of the Year and what he's been able
15:27
Speaker 2: to do with this payroll, this roster, and how Tampa
15:30
Speaker 2: Bay continually is competitive in this division. And credit to them.
15:36
Speaker 2: Welcome back. I'm Jim. Jack and Ross are here. Let's
15:38
Speaker 2: get some news. Here's Deb. It's time for JCS News.
15:43
Speaker 11: Wow.
15:43
Speaker 2: Does this guy got to put.
15:46
Speaker 15: His name on everything?
15:47
Speaker 2: It's in my contract, dude.
15:48
Speaker 3: Here's the news on the Jim Colbert Show.
15:52
Speaker 5: And JCS News is brought to you by that mortgage guy, Don.
15:55
Speaker 5: The NFL is asking the Supreme Court to take up
15:58
Speaker 5: a dispute over who has the authority to regulate prediction markets.
16:03
Speaker 5: The NFL argues that wagers should fall under state gambling laws.
16:06
Speaker 5: The league filed a request as part of a dispute
16:09
Speaker 5: between Kalshi and the state of New Jersey, which produced
16:12
Speaker 5: conflicting decisions on the appellate level. Kalshi and other prediction
16:16
Speaker 5: markets argue that the wagers they offer are known as, quote, swaps,
16:20
Speaker 5: end quote, and are federally regulated by the Commodity Futures
16:24
Speaker 5: Trading Commission. States, however, view this as gambling and say
16:28
Speaker 5: it should fall under their jurisdiction. And in the meantime,
16:31
Speaker 5: the Seminole Tribe of Florida is suing sports betting platform DraftKings,
16:36
Speaker 5: claiming the company is operating in a legal online sports
16:39
Speaker 5: betting business here in Florida. Governor Ron DeSantis says the
16:42
Speaker 5: compact gives the tribe authority over sports betting, but.
16:46
Speaker 16: Probably not solvable at the state level because it's happening
16:49
Speaker 16: all over the country. But I think the question is,
16:52
Speaker 16: if you have a certain regime on sports gaming and
16:55
Speaker 16: then the prediction markets come in, does that fall under that?
16:59
Speaker 5: It's not comforting when the governor's not sure.
17:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. Does that fall under that?
17:03
Speaker 5: The lawsuit argues DraftKings violates the tribe's exclusive sports betting
17:08
Speaker 5: agreement with the state and is diverting revenue from both
17:11
Speaker 5: the tribe and public programs. And like I was telling
17:13
Speaker 5: you guys before the show, what makes this lawsuit interesting,
17:16
Speaker 5: which was just filed today, is not only... was it
17:19
Speaker 5: filed against DraftKings, but they also filed it against their CEO. Yeah.
17:22
Speaker 5: Kind of a real personal take to this particular lawsuit.
17:25
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, yeah. You can change the name and call
17:28
Speaker 2: it what you want. It is 100% sportist betting.
17:30
Speaker 4: Yes.
17:31
Speaker 5: Without a doubt.
17:31
Speaker 2: You bring up the two apps next to each other,
17:34
Speaker 2: and it's just the words are changed, but you are
17:36
Speaker 2: still betting the exact same things with odds, and they
17:40
Speaker 2: may call it something different, but you're putting money in,
17:42
Speaker 2: you can take money out. It's... It's just changing its semantics.
17:46
Speaker 2: It's a rose by any other name, right? I heard
17:48
Speaker 2: the most 2026 thing the other day. I was talking
17:51
Speaker 2: to a friend and he goes, man, I lost money
17:53
Speaker 2: on Bitcoin the other day. I go, really? You bought
17:56
Speaker 2: some Bitcoin? He goes, no, I gambled on it. I go,
17:59
Speaker 2: what are you talking about? He goes, a cow sheet Bitcoin.
18:02
Speaker 12: Oh, man.
18:03
Speaker 2: To see if it would drop underneath this number by
18:06
Speaker 2: the end of that day. Jeez Louise. So just want
18:08
Speaker 2: to let you know, be on top of all of
18:10
Speaker 2: your friends' financial outcomes. Yeah.
18:14
Speaker 5: Well, we talked about it a little bit before, but
18:16
Speaker 5: for those who didn't watch the game, the Tampa Bay
18:18
Speaker 5: Rays are a step closer to the World Series after
18:20
Speaker 5: beating the Yankees 4-3 last night in New York in
18:23
Speaker 5: Game 3 of the American League Division Series. With the sweep,
18:26
Speaker 5: the Rays advance to the AL Championship Series against the
18:29
Speaker 5: winner of the Guardians White Sox Series. And did I
18:32
Speaker 5: hear that the White Sox lost last night for the
18:34
Speaker 5: first time since the Pope has been blessing them?
18:37
Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know. I didn't see that.
18:38
Speaker 5: I thought I heard that the Sox lost last night.
18:40
Speaker 5: The season is over for the Atlanta Braves, though.
18:44
Speaker 14: The L.A.
18:44
Speaker 5: Dodgers beat them 4-1 at Truist Park last night in
18:47
Speaker 5: Game 4 of the National League Division Series. Kind of
18:50
Speaker 5: was hoping for a Braves... raise, you know, kind of
18:53
Speaker 5: like the two teams without the huge money that the
18:56
Speaker 5: Dodgers and the Yankees have.
18:57
Speaker 2: Not the Yankees are out. I can root against these
18:59
Speaker 2: big money teams.
18:59
Speaker 5: Exactly.
19:01
Speaker 2: Boo, Dodgers! Boo!
19:04
Speaker 5: So the Dodgers win the series three games to one
19:06
Speaker 5: to advance to the NL Championship Series against the Milwaukee Brewers.
19:11
Speaker 5: Closer to home, the weather, and this has nothing to
19:13
Speaker 5: do with the tropical weather. Just the weather right now
19:15
Speaker 5: has Seminole County residents worried about flooding. Sanford's Charles Van
19:19
Speaker 5: Zandt lives on Michigan Avenue, already has sandbags ready. Assistant
19:23
Speaker 5: County Engineer Joseph LaFasso said that the neighborhood has experienced
19:27
Speaker 5: historic flooding for years. More rain expected today and tomorrow,
19:32
Speaker 5: with the National Weather Service calling for up to half
19:34
Speaker 5: an inch. Van Zandt tells News 6 once he gets
19:37
Speaker 5: a torrential downpour for an hour... The water will be
19:41
Speaker 5: ankle deep. It has been nice to see. I think
19:44
Speaker 5: it was Fox 35 covered. I think it was the
19:46
Speaker 5: Midway neighborhood where they've completed some of the retention.
19:50
Speaker 7: Ponds.
19:51
Speaker 5: For once in years, these poor residents are not having to.
19:54
Speaker 2: It's over near Sanford, right? Yeah.
19:56
Speaker 5: They didn't need to canoe to their front door.
19:58
Speaker 2: I'll be damned.
19:58
Speaker 5: Goes to show some of those public works are really
20:00
Speaker 5: kind of finally helping some residents out.
20:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's awesome.
20:03
Speaker 5: Well, Governor Ron DeSantis is cautiously optimistic about Hurricane Isaias,
20:08
Speaker 5: which is currently packing winds 85 miles per hour as
20:12
Speaker 5: it heads generally toward the area between Florida and Mississippi.
20:15
Speaker 5: And if you're having trouble with the name, don't feel bad.
20:18
Speaker 5: DeSantis also jokes about the hurricane's name.
20:21
Speaker 16: I'm calling it Isaiah. You guys can call it what
20:23
Speaker 16: you want. I know that's not how you pronounce this.
20:25
Speaker 16: It's something else. But it's weird, and I'm just going
20:28
Speaker 16: to keep butchering it for the next 72 hours.
20:31
Speaker 2: Isaias is hard? Okay. No, that's a guy who's on
20:36
Speaker 2: his way out, and he's not running for anything. I
20:39
Speaker 2: don't care.
20:40
Speaker 5: I don't care.
20:40
Speaker 2: It's too much. I can't say that I wouldn't do that.
20:43
Speaker 2: I can't say, but it's Emeril. I don't care. Whatever.
20:46
Speaker 2: That sounded like my mom in Scotland going, I'm just
20:48
Speaker 2: going to call it ham.
20:51
Speaker 5: Even if it makes landfall in Alabama, the east side
20:54
Speaker 5: is the dirty side, and that means rain and storm
20:57
Speaker 5: surge in the panhandle. They're saying up to 7-foot storm
20:59
Speaker 5: surge is possible. Search and rescue and utility crews are
21:02
Speaker 5: pre-stationing to respond as soon as the storm clears. And
21:06
Speaker 5: Central Florida's not in the crosshairs of Hurricane Isaias, but locals,
21:11
Speaker 5: we could still notice the storm hurricane expected to make
21:13
Speaker 5: landfall again. Northern Gulf Coast, well west of Orlando, however,
21:17
Speaker 5: forecasters say, It is pulling tropical moisture into the sunshine state,
21:21
Speaker 5: and that could mean extra rain and some higher-than-normal tides,
21:25
Speaker 5: to keep that in mind if you're going to the beach.
21:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's already happening. You want to hear some irony?
21:29
Speaker 2: So my mother-in-law is in town visiting.
21:31
Speaker 17: Right?
21:32
Speaker 18: Right.
21:32
Speaker 2: So we have no hurricanes in Florida, in the Atlantic Basin,
21:35
Speaker 2: on the Atlantic side, all year long. First time in
21:38
Speaker 2: 100 years, right?
21:39
Speaker 12: Yeah.
21:40
Speaker 2: She comes down to visit. Hurricane hits in the Gulf, right?
21:43
Speaker 2: Where do you think she lives? She lives in northern Mississippi.
21:46
Speaker 2: Guess where this thing is going? Right over the top
21:49
Speaker 2: of her house.
21:50
Speaker 10: Oh!
21:51
Speaker 2: When you look at the track, it tracks up through
21:53
Speaker 2: the panhandle, goes up through Alabama, then takes a left
21:55
Speaker 2: and starts going west right over her house. It's going
21:58
Speaker 2: to go directly over Memphis, Tennessee. She lives just south
22:01
Speaker 2: of that. Is that irony or luck? It's terrible. This
22:04
Speaker 2: morning I told her, I said, did you check your flight?
22:06
Speaker 2: You don't have no idea. There's a hurricane. It's going
22:08
Speaker 2: to be a three when it hits, right?
22:10
Speaker 5: They're expecting it to be a two, actually.
22:12
Speaker 2: Oh, really? Okay. When's it hit?
22:15
Speaker 5: Friday night into Saturday.
22:17
Speaker 2: Over Friday night.
22:18
Speaker 5: Yeah.
22:18
Speaker 2: And when does the mother-in-law leave? Friday morning. Oh, that's
22:23
Speaker 2: the problem.
22:23
Speaker 5: That's cutting it kind of tight.
22:24
Speaker 2: You might want to extend it a couple days. We
22:26
Speaker 2: need a spaghetti model on your mother-in-law.
22:29
Speaker 5: Exactly. Hurricane Isaias turning in the Gulf has already shut
22:33
Speaker 5: down 50% of Gulf Coast oil production. GasBuddy's head of petroleum,
22:38
Speaker 5: Patrick DeHaan, says fortunately, though, the storm has moved east.
22:42
Speaker 5: away from Gulf Coast refineries.
22:44
Speaker 19: As soon as the storm clears here, probably by Sunday,
22:47
Speaker 19: we'll start to see these oil rigs get back to service.
22:51
Speaker 19: But for now, it is a minor disruption. It should
22:53
Speaker 19: have just a very minor impact on what you're paying
22:56
Speaker 19: and maybe even less than that.
22:58
Speaker 5: Which is the good news. So he says right now,
23:00
Speaker 5: the panhandle has the cheapest gas prices in the state.
23:03
Speaker 5: And that's, of course, where the storm is headed. DeHaan adds,
23:06
Speaker 5: don't be in a rush to fill up today, right?
23:08
Speaker 5: Thinking the storm is threatening the Gulf Coast. You don't
23:10
Speaker 5: want to be Because he's saying prices are expected to
23:13
Speaker 5: drop over the weekend.
23:15
Speaker 9: Oh, really?
23:15
Speaker 5: So even though we could be having a hurricane hitting
23:17
Speaker 5: up in the Gulf Coast where these refineries and stuff
23:19
Speaker 5: are located, it's not really expected to have much of
23:22
Speaker 5: an impact.
23:22
Speaker 2: I'll be damned.
23:23
Speaker 5: All right. In the meantime, though, Florida Attorney General James
23:26
Speaker 5: Uthmeyer says the state is now accepting price gouging complaints
23:30
Speaker 5: as the hurricane continues to strengthen in the Gulf. This
23:32
Speaker 5: follows Governor Ron DeSantis' State of Emergency Declaration announcement. In
23:36
Speaker 5: 25 Florida counties, Florida law prohibits, quote, an unconscionable increase,
23:41
Speaker 5: end quote, in the price of essential commodities during a
23:44
Speaker 5: state of emergency, things like plywood, fuel, generators. Uthmeyer is
23:48
Speaker 5: urging folks to report any instances of price gouging they notice.
23:52
Speaker 5: And that would include for folks maybe just visiting our
23:55
Speaker 5: attractions and theme parks who may not be aware of
23:57
Speaker 5: this price gouging rule, right? They go to some gas
23:59
Speaker 5: station and go. Damn, seven bucks a gallon.
24:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Florida is expensive. They said it the
24:04
Speaker 2: whole way.
24:04
Speaker 5: Exactly. All right, in other news, NASA's Crew-12 astronauts successfully
24:12
Speaker 5: splashed down off the California coast after completing an eight-month
24:16
Speaker 5: stay on the International Space Station.
24:18
Speaker 2: We have visual confirmation of splashdown.
24:22
Speaker 20: Jack and Freedom has returned home, and Jessica, Jack, Sophie,
24:25
Speaker 20: and Andre.
24:26
Speaker 2: On behalf of SpaceX, welcome home, Crew-12s. First thing's a
24:29
Speaker 2: hot shower, right? No question? Well, yeah. You take the
24:32
Speaker 2: bra off. Yeah, first thing's a hot shower. I don't
24:35
Speaker 2: care what you say. First thing is a hot shower.
24:38
Speaker 2: I don't come out for an hour. No, you're right.
24:39
Speaker 5: Bra comes off first.
24:41
Speaker 2: Bra comes off.
24:41
Speaker 5: The four astronauts took off from Cape Canaveral in February
24:44
Speaker 5: aboard the Dragon spacecraft Freedom, while aboard the International Space
24:48
Speaker 5: Station Crew 12 conducted scientific research.
24:52
Speaker 5: To support future moon and Mars missions.
24:54
Speaker 2: So let me debate the bra thing. I mean, theoretically, right?
24:57
Speaker 5: Well, you're not going to jump in the shower with
24:59
Speaker 5: your bra on.
24:59
Speaker 2: No, I understand that, but you're saying like bra off
25:01
Speaker 2: is the first thing, but in space, if you have
25:02
Speaker 2: your bra off, I mean, that's as perky as they'll get, right?
25:05
Speaker 2: That's not going to fit on a movie poster. Okay,
25:07
Speaker 2: my bad.
25:08
Speaker 5: Not to mention those extra G-forces when you're coming back
25:11
Speaker 5: might pull them down even further than.
25:12
Speaker 2: When you started. Yeah, yeah, yeah. In space, they're perky.
25:15
Speaker 5: Well, in space, they need no support.
25:17
Speaker 2: That works on a movie poster. Now we shorten it up.
25:20
Speaker 5: Now, someone you'd probably want to send into space would
25:22
Speaker 5: be this guy, at least his neighbors, billionaire Ken Griffin. Remember,
25:26
Speaker 5: we just talked about him. Well, his battle for a
25:29
Speaker 5: private Miami Beach helipad is grounded for another month. The
25:34
Speaker 5: planning board deferred the proposal until November 3rd. after wealthy
25:38
Speaker 5: condo neighbors complained the chopper noise would ruin their peace.
25:43
Speaker 5: Not so. Griffin's team claims the high-tech helicopter is no
25:48
Speaker 5: louder than a casual conversation.
25:51
Speaker 2: Well, that's not even remotely true.
25:54
Speaker 5: No, but they're still throwing it at the wall.
25:56
Speaker 2: All right.
25:57
Speaker 5: Governor Ron DeSantis is celebrating a ruling on Hope, Florida.
26:00
Speaker 5: A state appeals court ruled yesterday that a grand jury
26:04
Speaker 5: was wrong to accuse DeSantis and others of wrongdoings.
26:08
Speaker 16: This fully debunks this idea of any type of misappropriation.
26:13
Speaker 2: There was no misappropriation. That's a lie. That's a hoax.
26:17
Speaker 5: Yeah, a grand jury was looking into whether or not
26:20
Speaker 5: state officials took $ 10 million from a Medicaid settlement and
26:23
Speaker 5: gave it to the Hope Florida Foundation, which dispersed it
26:26
Speaker 5: to a political committee set up to oppose a referendum
26:29
Speaker 5: that would have legalized recreational marijuana. The appeals court ruled
26:33
Speaker 5: the $ 10 million was never public money. And what state
26:37
Speaker 5: officials did with it was legal. DeSantis calls the appeals
26:40
Speaker 5: court ruling complete and total vindication. State Democrats are saying
26:45
Speaker 5: expunging Hope Florida doesn't ease the scandal. And again, when
26:48
Speaker 5: you look into this, they're saying like even how the
26:51
Speaker 5: grand jury investigated, it wasn't even completely done the way
26:54
Speaker 5: most grand juries would do something like everything looked like
26:57
Speaker 5: it was just kind of like, well, let's look like
26:59
Speaker 5: we did something. I don't know if this is over yet, right? Well,
27:02
Speaker 5: if you don't, not if you ask Monique Worrell. She's
27:05
Speaker 5: planning to reopen the investigation. And again, I would see
27:09
Speaker 5: state Democrats continuing to poke at this story. Winter Haven
27:15
Speaker 5: is ranked the top snowbird destination for the 2026-2027 winter season.
27:23
Speaker 2: For what?
27:24
Speaker 5: That's according to a national study by Storage Café. The
27:29
Speaker 5: rankings were based on factors such as climate, housing costs,
27:32
Speaker 5: health care, safety, and recreation options. Nearby Lakeland came in second.
27:37
Speaker 8: Damn, really?
27:38
Speaker 5: Lake Wells also made the top tenth. So look for
27:41
Speaker 5: lots of... Dude, Polk County's on fire. I know. Look
27:43
Speaker 5: for lots of left blinkers left on perpetually in Polk County.
27:48
Speaker 5: Inland communities like these offer lower housing costs and proximity
27:51
Speaker 5: to Florida's beaches and attractions, right, without having to pay
27:55
Speaker 5: the insurance that it takes to live on the beach anymore.
27:58
Speaker 5: Also making them attractive options for retirees.
28:01
Speaker 2: 100%.
28:01
Speaker 5: Always makes me think of what Jerry Seinfeld said our
28:04
Speaker 5: state flag should be. Just two hands on the top
28:07
Speaker 5: of his steering wheel, because that's all you can see.
28:09
Speaker 2: I never happened to have heard that. Fun fact about
28:11
Speaker 2: Winter Haven, Stormy Daniels is there this weekend. Is that
28:14
Speaker 2: weird that I know that? Wow. Here's something. She'll be
28:18
Speaker 2: on the Monsters in studio tomorrow. Will she really? Yeah, yeah.
28:21
Speaker 2: What is she doing? She does, like, stand-up. She's over
28:24
Speaker 2: at the Laugh Out Lounge. There you go.
28:26
Speaker 9: All right.
28:26
Speaker 8: What?
28:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. She has, like, a one-woman show, stand-up. She
28:30
Speaker 2: probably talks about a specific wiener. Yeah. I would think
28:34
Speaker 2: there's a good five minutes on that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
28:37
Speaker 5: Probably more than– anyway.
28:38
Speaker 2: The old circus peanut?
28:39
Speaker 4: Yeah.
28:40
Speaker 2: I think she referred to it as like a mushroom. Yeah,
28:43
Speaker 2: what was that character from Pokemon? Nah, it's Nintendo. I
28:46
Speaker 2: believe it's Toad.
28:47
Speaker 18: Nintendo.
28:47
Speaker 5: Is it Toad from Nintendo?
28:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
28:49
Speaker 5: All right, finally. That's flattering. This man did not look
28:54
Speaker 5: happy to see customs officers noticing his, quote, unexplained bulge,
28:59
Speaker 5: end quote, after he arrived at Miami International Airport.
29:02
Speaker 2: I get that all the time.
29:03
Speaker 5: On a flight from Cuba. Never mind.
29:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, sorry.
29:07
Speaker 5: U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers pulled 40-year-old Alberta Hernandez
29:11
Speaker 5: Castillo aside after he arrived from Havana on Sunday. Now,
29:15
Speaker 5: during an interview, agents observed an unexplained bulge at the
29:19
Speaker 5: front of his pelvis slash waist area.
29:21
Speaker 11: Okay.
29:22
Speaker 5: And also noticed that he appeared nervous. Can you imagine
29:26
Speaker 5: why he was nervous?
29:27
Speaker 2: Oh, he seems... There's some smuggling happening, I'm sure.
29:30
Speaker 5: Yeah, it turns out he had live birds stuffed down
29:33
Speaker 5: his pants.
29:34
Speaker 2: You guys want to see a magic trick?
29:37
Speaker 5: He had six cylindrical clear plastic... containers, each wrapped in
29:41
Speaker 5: tape with some black meshed material, then sewn into his underwear.
29:45
Speaker 5: Each tube contained live birds. Ten live birds shoved into
29:52
Speaker 5: this man's underwears.
29:53
Speaker 2: Wow!
29:54
Speaker 5: Hernandez Castillo, however, claimed the birds were for, quote, personal use.
29:59
Speaker 2: Okay, that's why you're smuggling him.
30:01
Speaker 5: And then invoked his right to remain silent.
30:03
Speaker 2: Okay.
30:03
Speaker 5: He faces a charge of smuggling goods into the United States. Now,
30:06
Speaker 5: this is no small feat. A man arrested on the
30:09
Speaker 5: same charge in a similar case in San Diego faced
30:12
Speaker 5: up to 20 years in federal prison.
30:15
Speaker 2: So what kind of bird was it?
30:16
Speaker 5: A couple of birds that are very attractive in the
30:19
Speaker 5: bird trade.
30:20
Speaker 2: Oh, I see.
30:20
Speaker 5: Yeah, some small songbirds.
30:22
Speaker 2: There you go. Some birds that if you were a bird,
30:24
Speaker 2: you'd be like, I'm down. Right, right. So where would
30:27
Speaker 2: they come from? Like South America, did you say?
30:28
Speaker 5: You probably captured them in Cuba and was bringing them
30:30
Speaker 5: here for the illegal pet trade.
30:32
Speaker 2: There you go.
30:32
Speaker 5: It happens all the time. Remember when we had the
30:34
Speaker 5: Central Florida Zoo in yesterday, they talked about one of
30:36
Speaker 5: the tarantulas was actually– confiscated from an airport where it
30:40
Speaker 5: was being sold in the illegal pet trade.
30:42
Speaker 2: Earlier this year, right? The guy tried to bring in
30:44
Speaker 2: like a couple hundred ants.
30:45
Speaker 18: Yep.
30:46
Speaker 2: Yeah. Smuggling ants and little like pill things or whatever.
30:49
Speaker 21: Yeah.
30:49
Speaker 22: Crazy.
30:50
Speaker 5: And that concludes your JCS News.

31:14
Speaker 2: Jim Colbert Show. That is correct. It is time for
31:18
Speaker 2: the football forecast here on the Jim Colbert Show. This
31:21
Speaker 2: is where we all make a choice on who we
31:23
Speaker 2: think is going to win this week in football action.
31:26
Speaker 2: And we'll make our picks here in just one second. Jack,
31:30
Speaker 2: I've got to tell you, Deb is having an incredible
31:33
Speaker 2: year this year, buddy.
31:34
Speaker 5: I was.
31:35
Speaker 2: She's... Hey! She's still leading on the year, yes. She is, yeah, yeah, yeah.
31:41
Speaker 2: An amazing year. And the three of us are all
31:43
Speaker 2: tied for second place. Yeah, we all have 37. I
31:44
Speaker 2: think Deb has 41 total picks that are correct. This
31:48
Speaker 2: is week five, I believe, in NFL action? Yeah, week five. Already.
31:53
Speaker 2: So usually what we do is we go around the
31:55
Speaker 2: room and we figure out, like, Jack is a Raiders guy,
31:57
Speaker 2: I'm a Bucs guy. Deb is a Packers fan, and
32:01
Speaker 2: Ross just kind of floats around. I like the badge, dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
32:04
Speaker 2: Got you 100%. I'm here for the badge. And, of course,
32:06
Speaker 2: next Tuesday we will do the football follow-up, and that's
32:09
Speaker 2: when we'll come in and somebody will try to choose
32:12
Speaker 2: which member of the show had the best weekend in
32:14
Speaker 2: football picks, and then we'll award that person with a prize.
32:17
Speaker 8: It's easy.
32:18
Speaker 2: You guys ready to start it off? Ready. Game one
32:21
Speaker 2: is tonight. It's tonight. The Bucs versus the Cowboys. The
32:24
Speaker 2: Bucs are 0-4. They are playing in Dallas that are 2-2. Yeah, Cowboys.
32:31
Speaker 17: Yeah.
32:32
Speaker 4: Come on.
32:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got the Cowboys as well. I would like
32:35
Speaker 2: to say, come on, but don't you guys remember seven
32:37
Speaker 2: days ago to this very day about Thursday night football
32:41
Speaker 2: and that enormous upset? If I remember correctly, right, the Falcons.
32:45
Speaker 17: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
32:45
Speaker 2: No one had the Falcons winning that game. The Falcons
32:48
Speaker 2: have gone off, though, dude. Yeah, that was the beginning
32:50
Speaker 2: of them starting to go off, or maybe that was
32:52
Speaker 2: two weeks ago. I just remember I'm still going with
32:55
Speaker 2: the Cowboys. Cowboys? Cowboys. Cowboys, very good. The Jags are
33:00
Speaker 2: playing at home versus the Eagles. This should be a
33:03
Speaker 2: pretty good game. Eagles, not exactly what they used to be.
33:05
Speaker 2: And Saquon's out. Yeah, Saquon's out. And a lot of
33:07
Speaker 2: people are using Super Bowl language with the Jaguars. I
33:11
Speaker 2: believe the Jags look really, really good this year. I'm
33:13
Speaker 2: taking the Jags at home.
33:15
Speaker 5: Jags at home.
33:16
Speaker 2: Yes, Jags. I got the Jags as well. Very nice.
33:19
Speaker 2: Let's move on to the Dolphins right down the road there.
33:20
Speaker 2: So the Bengals at the Dolphins. This should be easy.
33:23
Speaker 2: The Dolphins are probably the worst team in the NFL.
33:26
Speaker 2: They might be the second Dolphins team to go winless.
33:29
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
33:29
Speaker 2: They are 0-4. I don't know. The Dolphins might be
33:32
Speaker 2: better than the Bucs. The Dolphins could be better than
33:35
Speaker 2: the Bucs. You're right. I think not, though. I mean,
33:37
Speaker 2: the Dolphins are terrible. I like how the Jags took
33:40
Speaker 2: both of the other Florida teams' wins this year. How
33:42
Speaker 2: closely have you watched the Dolphins games? I mean, they've
33:46
Speaker 2: been close on a couple, and they have no one
33:48
Speaker 2: on their team. You're right, though. But the Bucs have
33:50
Speaker 2: had opportunities, but they've had a lot of turnovers for
33:52
Speaker 2: the Bucs this year already. So, I mean, I think
33:54
Speaker 2: the turnovers, and they've actually kept it relatively close in
33:56
Speaker 2: a lot of the games. But I still think that
34:01
Speaker 2: the Cowboys are going to stomp them out, and I
34:02
Speaker 2: believe that the Dolphins will lose to the Bengals. I
34:04
Speaker 2: am suddenly wildly invested in who has the suckier Florida
34:09
Speaker 2: team between the Dolphins and the Bucs. I can't wait
34:12
Speaker 2: to watch that storyline unravel this season. Matter of fact,
34:15
Speaker 2: I picked the Bengals in my survivor pool. I had
34:18
Speaker 2: to pick one team that I think would guaranteed win
34:20
Speaker 2: this week. I'm picking the Bengals over the Dolphins. That's
34:22
Speaker 2: a very good pick.
34:24
Speaker 1: Debra?
34:24
Speaker 5: Bengals.
34:25
Speaker 2: Bengals. Let's move on. Jack's Raiders go into New England
34:29
Speaker 2: to play the Patriots. Raiders 3-1. Pats 2-2. This should
34:32
Speaker 2: be a really good game. Even though the Raiders are
34:35
Speaker 2: 3-1 in our pick choice, our people have the Patriots
34:39
Speaker 2: at 60%. Basically a coin flip. Yeah, I believe the
34:42
Speaker 2: Patriots are favored in this game. They look like the Patriots.
34:47
Speaker 2: Last week against the Bills, the Patriots looked like the
34:50
Speaker 2: team you expected them to look like this year. Not
34:53
Speaker 2: the team that had struggled the first three weeks. Right, right, right. Yeah,
34:56
Speaker 2: I'm taking the Pats here at home. Raiders all the way.
34:59
Speaker 2: I'm going Pats.
35:01
Speaker 5: I went Raiders.
35:02
Speaker 2: Oh, very good. All right, nothing wrong with that. You
35:03
Speaker 2: don't have to be mad about it. Yeah, why'd you
35:05
Speaker 2: say that? We're all insulting them. Could be one of
35:10
Speaker 2: the games of the week. And, Debra, this is no
35:13
Speaker 2: hard choice for you this week. Chicago Bears going into
35:16
Speaker 2: Green Bay to play the Packers. Green Bay at 2-2.
35:19
Speaker 2: Bears at 3-1. The Bears are a favorite in this game,
35:23
Speaker 2: even at home in Green Bay. But I have to
35:24
Speaker 2: tell you. I don't know, man. I think I'm going
35:27
Speaker 2: to take the Bears this time.
35:28
Speaker 5: I don't blame you.
35:30
Speaker 2: You're taking the Pack, though, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I
35:33
Speaker 2: like cheese, dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What do you think, guys?
35:37
Speaker 2: I'll be taking the Bears. Jack, Bears?
35:40
Speaker 14: 100%.
35:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, very good. Jordan Love, he had his time, and
35:45
Speaker 2: I don't know. Yeah, maybe it's not happening? Is it him?
35:49
Speaker 2: Is it the coach? I'm not sure. But that offense
35:52
Speaker 2: seems to be a mess. And it might losing, you know,
35:55
Speaker 2: it's really a lack of a running game that has
35:57
Speaker 2: hurt him tremendously. Right, right, right. I think two of
36:00
Speaker 2: the most interesting games of the week are, a matter
36:03
Speaker 2: of fact, I think the most interesting game of the week,
36:05
Speaker 2: the Baltimore Ravens go into Atlanta to play the Falcons,
36:08
Speaker 2: the Red Hot Falcons. Two and two, Ravens three and one.
36:13
Speaker 2: I'm starting to believe the hype, dude. If Drake London
36:16
Speaker 2: doesn't stop doing what he's doing right now, that's a really,
36:20
Speaker 2: really good team. I've always thought that about the Falcons.
36:22
Speaker 2: Where's their good receiver? Even their best receiver, you know this,
36:27
Speaker 2: didn't catch touchdowns. Julio Jones. And I've got to tell you, dude,
36:31
Speaker 2: their running game looks amazing, and Pennix looks really good.
36:34
Speaker 2: Very mobile, can throw the ball on the run. Really
36:36
Speaker 2: hard team to defend, I believe. I'm actually going with
36:39
Speaker 2: the Falcons here as well. I have the Falcons, too.
36:42
Speaker 2: I just don't feel great about it. Because the Ravens
36:45
Speaker 2: are a coin flip anywhere they go. The Ravens can
36:47
Speaker 2: play Super Bowl champions and win, and they can lose
36:49
Speaker 2: to the Dolphins. I mean, that's what makes them so frustrating.
36:52
Speaker 2: Kind of feels like the Falcons are new school Ravens.
36:57
Speaker 11: Oh, really?
36:57
Speaker 2: Well, just like when Lamar first entered the league, you
37:00
Speaker 2: had this just enormous athletic ability of like he's a
37:04
Speaker 2: dual threat. He still is, but now the Falcons are
37:07
Speaker 2: kind of like a new version of that on their own. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
37:10
Speaker 2: So you are right. That is kind of the most
37:12
Speaker 2: interesting football matchup of the week. How true are the Falcons? Yeah,
37:17
Speaker 2: we're about to find out. And the other game I
37:19
Speaker 2: think that's also painfully interesting is the Bills going to
37:21
Speaker 2: the Rams. You know, the Bills going to L.A. to
37:23
Speaker 2: play the Rams. Bills just coming off an embarrassing loss
37:26
Speaker 2: going into the Rams who are just kind of finding
37:28
Speaker 2: their feet now. So, I mean, this is as coin
37:31
Speaker 2: flip as we have this entire week. This literally is
37:34
Speaker 2: almost 50-50. We're going Rams. Are you really? I just
37:38
Speaker 2: love Sean McVay so much. I think he's the best
37:40
Speaker 2: coach in the league. I just can't imagine the Bills
37:42
Speaker 2: losing twice in a row. I know, but on the
37:46
Speaker 2: con side of it, they're flying across the country. But
37:49
Speaker 2: the Rams, I know they squeaked out that win last week,
37:54
Speaker 2: but they have not won impressively. Yeah? You know, I
38:00
Speaker 2: don't know.
38:00
Speaker 18: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
38:01
Speaker 2: What do you think, Deb? I'm going Bills. All right. Bills? Bills. Bills.
38:05
Speaker 2: What did you have for Ravens? Falcons, by the way.
38:07
Speaker 1: Falcons.
38:07
Speaker 2: Falcons. Okay, good. And we'll do one more. Let's make
38:10
Speaker 2: another really close game. I mean, again, these three games,
38:13
Speaker 2: like these two, the Sunday afternoon game, the Sunday evening game,
38:17
Speaker 2: and the Monday night game are going to be the
38:18
Speaker 2: games of the week. 49ers go into the Seahawks in Seattle.
38:23
Speaker 2: 49ers 4-0, Super Bowl talk all around this football team.
38:26
Speaker 2: But Seattle nails, and one of the most difficult places
38:30
Speaker 2: to play and win in the NFL is Seattle. And
38:33
Speaker 2: this is a huge rivalry between the two. This is
38:35
Speaker 2: like one of the rivalries that a lot of people
38:38
Speaker 2: on the East Coast kind of aren't aware of because
38:41
Speaker 2: it's so passionate and on the West Coast. But yeah,
38:43
Speaker 2: these two teams do not like each other. I think
38:46
Speaker 2: this is the game of the week. And it's funny
38:49
Speaker 2: because for all the talk, it was the Rams going
38:51
Speaker 2: to the Super Bowl, but The 49ers really have been
38:54
Speaker 2: the best team so far. Yeah, they have. I'm going Niners. Yeah,
38:58
Speaker 2: I'm going Niners as well. Debra? In Seattle, though, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
39:02
Speaker 23: Niners.
39:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
39:04
Speaker 4: Oh!
39:04
Speaker 2: You're going to the Hawks? Hey, and by the way,
39:09
Speaker 2: we had a little bit of a snafu on YouTube. Jack,
39:11
Speaker 2: tell people what you need to do. Uh, we'll go
39:14
Speaker 2: to real radio on YouTube. I'm switching it over. So, uh,
39:18
Speaker 2: I'll have the link for you in a minute.
39:19
Speaker 11: Yeah.
39:20
Speaker 2: Sorry about the trouble guys, but if you do watch
39:22
Speaker 2: on YouTube and we know a lot of you guys do,
39:24
Speaker 2: just give us a couple seconds and go to the
39:25
Speaker 2: Real Radio YouTube channel. We'll be over there in just
39:28
Speaker 2: one minute. And I think that should do it. I
39:31
Speaker 2: don't see any other games that are kind of close.
39:34
Speaker 2: Although the Colts are playing good football. They go in
39:36
Speaker 2: to play the Steelers. They're both 2-2. There's a really
39:40
Speaker 2: weird matchup. What about the Vikings and the Saints? Because
39:43
Speaker 2: this is weird. The Vikings, 4-0, right?
39:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
39:46
Speaker 2: But they don't feel like a 4-0 team. Dude, they
39:48
Speaker 2: always start off 4-0. And the Saints don't feel like
39:51
Speaker 2: a 1-3 team.
39:51
Speaker 15: Correct.
39:52
Speaker 2: And that is the whole thing, is that you have
39:54
Speaker 2: a 4-0 undefeated team going up against a 1-3. But
39:58
Speaker 2: you have the Vikings as a favorite by a hair.
40:02
Speaker 2: And usually those records and those odds don't match up.
40:06
Speaker 2: I'm going Saints.
40:08
Speaker 9: Really?
40:08
Speaker 2: I'm looking for the upset. And New Orleans. I got
40:10
Speaker 2: the Saints as well. Wow, really? What do you got, Debra?
40:14
Speaker 5: They're my underdogs. I just have a soft spot for
40:16
Speaker 5: the Saints. All right, nice.
40:17
Speaker 2: I've got to tell you, I'm going with the Vikings.
40:19
Speaker 2: I think the Vikings are going to go in there
40:20
Speaker 2: and play well. So there we go. That's our Thursday
40:23
Speaker 2: football forecast. We will do the follow-up on Tuesday and
40:27
Speaker 2: award somebody a nice prize if they can figure out
40:28
Speaker 2: which member of the show had the most correct picks.
40:30
Speaker 2: Let's take a little break. Chloe G up next here
40:33

Speaker 3: Proof that we have a face for radio. The Jim

Speaker 3: Colbert Show on YouTube. Subscribe and watch.
40:44
Speaker 23: Okay, I'm getting kind of sick of these gas prices.
40:49
Speaker 23: I only used a quarter of a tank, and I
40:53
Speaker 23: went to just top it off because it was $ 4.
40:54
Speaker 2: 04, which cost me $ 33 for a quarter of.
40:58
Speaker 1: A tank at the top.
41:05
Speaker 23: And then I go down the street, and Speedway is 479.
41:09
Speaker 2: How does it swing that far? I don't get it.
41:14
Speaker 2: We've got a bomb about to go off, buddy. Don't
41:18
Speaker 2: say that.

41:38
Speaker 4: Yes.
41:38
Speaker 2: And so is Ross. Believe in yourself. So is Chloe G.
41:42
Speaker 3: If it's happening in Central Florida, it's on her radar,
41:45
Speaker 3: giving you a reason to get off the couch and
41:46
Speaker 3: out of the house. It's time to find out what
41:49
Speaker 3: there is to see with.
41:51
Speaker 2: Chloe G from the Orlando Weekly. Good night, Chloe G! Yay!
41:57
Speaker 22: Thank you.
41:57
Speaker 2: Very weird intro for you today, young lady.
41:59
Speaker 9: Me?
42:00
Speaker 2: Weird intro? No, I said that was a very weird
42:02
Speaker 2: one for you today. Usually it's all in unison today,
42:05
Speaker 2: a little fragmented. How are you doing?
42:06
Speaker 20: Well, I just rushed over here, the rainy traffic. I'm
42:10
Speaker 20: all out of sorts.
42:11
Speaker 2: How's your week been? Pretty good.
42:13
Speaker 20: I really like the rainy kind of coziness that's going on.
42:16
Speaker 2: We love it too. I love it. We actually talked
42:18
Speaker 2: about that. And it's weird because what we thought was,
42:20
Speaker 2: is we thought it was kind of generational. We're a
42:22
Speaker 2: little bit older than you. We were like, man, we
42:24
Speaker 2: love to pile up.
42:25
Speaker 20: Not that much.
42:26
Speaker 2: We love to pile up and like, you know, just
42:28
Speaker 2: kind of hang out with days like this. We didn't
42:29
Speaker 2: know if it was a generational thing, but Ross said
42:31
Speaker 2: he likes to as well. And you're even younger than
42:33
Speaker 2: Ross and you like to as well.
42:33
Speaker 4: Yeah.
42:34
Speaker 20: I love to get a little cozy.
42:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, nothing wrong with that. Chloe G joins us every
42:39
Speaker 2: Thursday around 4 o'clock, courtesy of the Orlando Weekly, OrlandoWeekly.com.
42:42
Speaker 2: If you want to read her other columns, you can
42:43
Speaker 2: do that as well. She comes in to kind of
42:45
Speaker 2: tell us some things going on this weekend, give you
42:47
Speaker 2: a heads up on some cool things that are happening
42:49
Speaker 2: that maybe you and the fam can join in on.
42:51
Speaker 2: What you got for us this week?
42:52
Speaker 20: I have lots of spooky things to do this weekend.
42:55
Speaker 20: I'm really excited about it.
42:56
Speaker 2: All right, let's go.
42:57
Speaker 20: Okay, so first, Far Reach Scream Park is now open
43:01
Speaker 20: for the month. So this is a huge horror attraction
43:04
Speaker 20: located on a blueberry farm in Tavares. There are haunted houses,
43:09
Speaker 20: scare zones, a gaming area where you can kind of compete,
43:13
Speaker 20: play little games. Little games, live entertainment, and a themed
43:17
Speaker 20: bar dubbed the Pitchfork Parlor. So this attraction was actually
43:21
Speaker 20: started because the founder wanted a fun place where his
43:25
Speaker 20: cramps cover band could perform. And ever since then, he's
43:29
Speaker 20: been doing it for a few years, and that really
43:30
Speaker 20: was the sole reason why he threw it together. And
43:33
Speaker 20: ever since then, it's turned into this kind of cult-followed
43:35
Speaker 20: little horror park. So his band, The Dismembered, are the
43:40
Speaker 20: in-house entertainment. They perform every night. And there are two
43:45
Speaker 20: main haunted houses on site. There's a cyanide circus, which
43:49
Speaker 20: is a sideshow themed show with fire eating, sword swallowing.
43:53
Speaker 4: Whoa.
43:53
Speaker 20: It's a tough one. And then more daring kind of tricks.
43:59
Speaker 20: And we did speak to the founder over at the
44:01
Speaker 20: Orlando Weekly, and he really lovingly talked about the kind
44:04
Speaker 20: of cult following that they have gotten. And this year,
44:07
Speaker 20: they're even having a couple get married on site.
44:09
Speaker 2: Wow, really? I just saw an ad for this thing
44:12
Speaker 2: for the first time. I'd never even heard of this.
44:14
Speaker 2: And I was like, wow, dude, that looks way cooler.
44:18
Speaker 2: It's a local haunt, kind of like our friends up
44:20
Speaker 2: in Altamont Springs, Petrified Forest.
44:22
Speaker 11: Yeah.
44:22
Speaker 2: But this is the first time I've heard of this one,
44:24
Speaker 2: but it looks really fun.
44:24
Speaker 24: Yeah.
44:25
Speaker 20: I think it also is going to be so scary
44:27
Speaker 20: because it's just on a farm. So like what's going
44:29
Speaker 20: on in the dark out there, you know? And that
44:32
Speaker 20: is on starting this weekend on select nights through October 24th.
44:36
Speaker 20: And then tickets start at $ 20.
44:39
Speaker 2: Nice.
44:39
Speaker 20: Pretty good. And then you mentioned Petrified Forest. I was
44:41
Speaker 20: also going to touch on that a little bit. So
44:44
Speaker 20: it's back in Altamont Springs. This is the Immersive Forest
44:49
Speaker 20: Scare Trails event that they hold every year. This year,
44:52
Speaker 20: they are introducing a couple of new trails, including Psychosis.
44:57
Speaker 20: which is an immersive horror experience where the scare actors
45:00
Speaker 20: are allowed to touch you.
45:02
Speaker 13: Oh, man.
45:02
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
45:04
Speaker 5: We sound a little excited about that.
45:06
Speaker 20: I don't think I would like that. I barely like
45:08
Speaker 20: giving hugs. I really don't think I would like that one.
45:12
Speaker 2: I'm going shirtless. Yeah. And hoping for the best.
45:14
Speaker 20: And they go all out there. It's so terrifying.
45:17
Speaker 2: I'm looking to tip somebody. It's one of our favorites. Actually,
45:21
Speaker 2: we've been helping them advertise this thing for many, many years.
45:24
Speaker 4: Yeah.
45:24
Speaker 2: And they're wonderful people who do this. And Jack and
45:27
Speaker 2: I both kind of marvel. If you ever drive by
45:29
Speaker 2: that location when it's not Halloween season, it just simply
45:32
Speaker 2: looks like an empty lot. It doesn't really look anything.
45:35
Speaker 2: And the way they transform that thing into what it
45:37
Speaker 2: turns out to be for this holiday is bananas. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
45:40
Speaker 20: No, exactly. I know some people who do the scare
45:42
Speaker 20: acting there, too. They're nuts. They're all crazy.
45:44
Speaker 2: They're all freaks. I'll keep that in mind.
45:48
Speaker 20: So, yeah. And they also offer a chicken lanyard, which
45:53
Speaker 20: will fend off the scare actors if you kind of
45:55
Speaker 20: don't want to interact with them. So there's really kind
45:58
Speaker 20: of a little something for everyone.
45:59
Speaker 2: Okay, good.
46:00
Speaker 20: And then, yeah, as you know, besides the haunted trails,
46:03
Speaker 20: they have a backstage tour option, a scavenger hunt situation,
46:07
Speaker 20: laser tag. Tickets start at $ 38 and go up to
46:11
Speaker 20: $ 62 for different sort of package deals that they offer.
46:13
Speaker 2: They also do food trucks and a DJ and all
46:16
Speaker 2: kinds of stuff up there. It's a total thing.
46:18
Speaker 20: Yeah, total big spooky thing. And all tickets do come
46:21
Speaker 20: with free parking and a trolley ride from the parking
46:24
Speaker 20: area to the trail.
46:25
Speaker 2: Which is right there. Don't get freaked out about it.
46:26
Speaker 2: It's not that far, but it can be necessary and
46:29
Speaker 2: it's just a little bit there. One year it was themed. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
46:33
Speaker 2: And when you got under the trolley, it was like,
46:35
Speaker 2: you'll never get off.
46:36
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah.
46:37
Speaker 2: And it was really fun.
46:38
Speaker 20: Wow, love it. And that is on select nights through
46:41
Speaker 20: the 31st, so through Halloween. Another little bit of a
46:45
Speaker 20: spooky situation this weekend. So Castleberry's Historic Society is hosting
46:50
Speaker 20: a Night of the Mystic Arts. This is a mystical
46:53
Speaker 20: night market that nods to the roots of Halloween. There
46:56
Speaker 20: will be lots of vendors dishing out oddities and spooky services.
47:01
Speaker 20: like fortune telling, tarot card reading, orb photography, aura reading,
47:06
Speaker 20: and more.
47:06
Speaker 2: Wow, Deb, right up your alley.
47:08
Speaker 5: Oh, yeah, absolutely. You guys love that? I should have
47:10
Speaker 5: your aura read.
47:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. I don't want to scare anyone.
47:13
Speaker 5: No, it'd probably scare you.
47:16
Speaker 20: I think it'd be great. It sounds awesome. The orb
47:18
Speaker 20: photography is so cool. They take your picture and see
47:20
Speaker 20: kind of there's like spirits around you.
47:22
Speaker 2: Oh, very nice.
47:23
Speaker 20: Yeah, very spooky.

Speaker 2: I'm very happy. How's the new ride? Everything good?
51:18
Speaker 20: I love my new car. I want to hit the
51:20
Speaker 20: road every second.
51:21
Speaker 2: Of the day. Let me get out there. When Ross
51:23
Speaker 2: got his, I think he parked it outside so he
51:25
Speaker 2: could just look out the window. It's addicting.
51:27
Speaker 20: You really, you really, you're sitting inside and you're thinking
51:30
Speaker 20: about it. Like, I hope she's okay out there. I
51:32
Speaker 20: hope the driveway is treating her well.
51:33
Speaker 2: Do you name your car? It's a thing.
51:35
Speaker 1: I did.
51:36
Speaker 20: My last car was named. I don't know about this
51:38
Speaker 20: one yet.
51:39
Speaker 2: What was the last car's name?
51:40
Speaker 20: My first car was Sandy because I lived in a
51:42
Speaker 20: beach town. So she was always disgusting.
51:43
Speaker 11: Okay.
51:44
Speaker 16: Sand.
51:45
Speaker 20: Um, second car was Georgia.
51:46
Speaker 11: Okay.
51:47
Speaker 2: Is there a reason?
51:48
Speaker 20: I just had a very memorable little road trip to
51:50
Speaker 20: Georgia and her. And then this one is unnamed so far.
51:53
Speaker 15: Unnamed.
51:54
Speaker 2: Yes. The name has to come to you, right?
51:56
Speaker 25: Yeah.
51:56
Speaker 5: It has to come to you.
51:57
Speaker 2: It's got to be a mutual experience that you have
52:00
Speaker 2: with your new ride.
52:01
Speaker 20: Yes, it has to reflect the personality. I'm taking suggestions
52:04
Speaker 20: if anybody has. Maybe we'll do a little name reveal.
52:07
Speaker 2: Who knows? Do you have a road trip planned with
52:11
Speaker 2: the new ride?
52:12
Speaker 20: I'm actually going to Atlanta next week to visit a friend.
52:15
Speaker 20: So maybe this one will be Georgia Part 2.
52:17
Speaker 2: We'll see. Peaches. Peaches.
52:20
Speaker 20: That's very cute.
52:22
Speaker 2: Are you going to see the whale sharks? No. Do
52:24
Speaker 2: you know about the aquarium in Atlanta?
52:26
Speaker 20: Oh, yeah. I won't be visiting the aquarium, I don't think.
52:29
Speaker 20: Maybe I'll try to squeeze it in.
52:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. Is this a party weekend? I don't know.
52:33
Speaker 2: Do you like take weekends? You're like, it is time.
52:36
Speaker 2: We are going to get loose. I'm driving up Friday, Saturday.
52:38
Speaker 2: I'm not going to remember. Sunday, I'm going to recoup
52:40
Speaker 2: and then Monday back home.
52:41
Speaker 20: No, I'm a very responsible young lady.
52:43
Speaker 2: I think it's a facade.
52:44
Speaker 20: During October, though, I do really like to squeeze in
52:47
Speaker 20: every weekend. A chance to kind of throw a costume together,
52:50
Speaker 20: maybe dress up.
52:51
Speaker 2: Hey, let's go around the room. What do you think
52:53
Speaker 2: our favorite drink is? Like cocktail, not beer, because you
52:56
Speaker 2: told us you like beer, right?
52:57
Speaker 8: I like beer. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
52:58
Speaker 2: What's your favorite cocktail? What do you think, Ross? Fuzzy navel.
53:04
Speaker 2: I'll go with like a seltzer and gin or something,
53:09
Speaker 2: like a light drink. Deb is really doing some studying here.
53:12
Speaker 2: What do you think?
53:12
Speaker 5: I was going to go old-fashioned, but then I might
53:14
Speaker 5: lean toward a Paloma.
53:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, Paloma? For some reason, man, I just have you
53:19
Speaker 2: as a simple vodka tonic, vodka crayon. That's what I'm thinking.
53:23
Speaker 5: Ginger and....
53:25
Speaker 2: Gin and tonic. Yeah, that's what I was looking for.
53:28
Speaker 20: My go-to is tequila soda.
53:31
Speaker 2: Really? Yeah.
53:32
Speaker 7: Wow.
53:33
Speaker 10: Yep.
53:33
Speaker 2: Because you know why? You know why?
53:35
Speaker 20: If you drink enough of them, they taste like water.
53:37
Speaker 2: Oh, do they really? Yeah. Every time. You don't flavor
53:40
Speaker 2: it with like lemon or lime or something?
53:41
Speaker 8: No, I'll get a lime.
53:42
Speaker 2: I'll get a lime. Yeah, yeah, yeah. For sure.
53:43
Speaker 11: Yeah.
53:43
Speaker 2: And this is what you've been drinking for a while?
53:45
Speaker 2: Do you have a specific tequila you like?
53:47
Speaker 20: I like Espolone, but, and the expensive ones. And then
53:51
Speaker 20: other than that, other than that, I'll just say whatever.
53:53
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter, whatever. It doesn't matter.
53:54
Speaker 11: Very good.
53:55
Speaker 2: Wow. Look at that. What's your favorite beer?
53:58
Speaker 20: I like lagers, kind of like lighter beers, I think. Yeah,
54:02

54:38

54:43
Speaker 14: seemed like he was involved in illegal bird trading, because

Speaker 14: that's what he was doing, was capturing birds down in
54:48
Speaker 14: South America to sell for money.

Speaker 2: movie yeah 100 um yeah man um i just saw
55:42
Speaker 2: this today i did not i don't remember this product
55:46
Speaker 2: but um do you guys know what uh sticky kicks
55:50
Speaker 2: are I do not. You should. Of all people, you should.
55:55
Speaker 2: Are you bringing up the sock thing? It's not a
55:57
Speaker 2: sock thing.
55:57
Speaker 10: All right.
55:57
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no. It's sneakers with suction cups on
56:01
Speaker 2: the bottom so you can walk up walls. You're halfway there. Oh,
56:05
Speaker 2: my God. Some of that is true. The walking up
56:10
Speaker 2: walls part? I didn't say that. The suction cup. What
56:13
Speaker 2: is a sticky kick? Debra?
56:15
Speaker 5: A sticky kick.
56:17
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah.
56:17
Speaker 2: And I said that Ross should know this more than
56:19
Speaker 2: anybody because I believe that Ross has more interactions with
56:22
Speaker 2: the company that's producing the sticky kick than anybody out there.
56:25
Speaker 5: But it's got to have something to do with toddlers then.
56:27
Speaker 13: No.
56:28
Speaker 2: Is it like a basketball training aid? Is it a what?
56:32
Speaker 5: Soccer training aid.
56:33
Speaker 2: Man, you guys are all around it. Jack's got part.
56:35
Speaker 2: You have part of it? Yeah, it's got to be soccer.
56:38
Speaker 2: Soccer cup. Sticky Kicks are tennis shoes from Denny's that
56:44
Speaker 2: are filled with syrup. Oh, yeah. You remember those? Yeah,
56:49
Speaker 2: I have heard of that. I'm sorry. Please explain why
56:52
Speaker 2: would anyone want this. Jack, if you go to USA Today,
56:55
Speaker 2: they actually have this story, but it's a pair of
56:57
Speaker 2: tennis shoes. It looks like your normal Air Jordans or
57:01
Speaker 2: that kind of tennis shoe, high-top basketball shoe. They're Denny's colors,
57:05
Speaker 2: which means they're red and yellow, but they have blue
57:08
Speaker 2: laces that But where the plastic is that is the red,
57:13
Speaker 2: inside that plastic, there they are right there, inside those pockets, guys,
57:17
Speaker 2: is actual Denny's syrup. Which isn't real syrup. Pancake syrup.
57:23
Speaker 2: It's in the tongues, and it's in the little toe area.
57:26
Speaker 2: You can see it there, and it's in the sides
57:28
Speaker 2: as well. You know what? Weirdly enough, I kind of
57:33
Speaker 2: like them. No, do you really? The reason I said
57:36
Speaker 2: that you would get it because you're a big diner fan.
57:38
Speaker 2: I like diners, but I'm also not the biggest Denny's guy. Really?
57:42
Speaker 2: It's not that I hate it. I'm just indifferent. He's
57:45
Speaker 2: Waffle House. Yeah, I'm... Casa de la Wafel. It says
57:48
Speaker 2: laces made of blueberry blue fill out the primary color palette.
57:53
Speaker 2: Each pair comes with a syrup-scented hand tag, and it
57:56
Speaker 2: has a QR code where you can have a scan
57:58
Speaker 2: at Denny's to get two free buttermilk pancakes with the
58:01
Speaker 2: purchase of a Grand Slamwich meal, which I've never even
58:06
Speaker 2: heard of the Grand Slamwich. So in the bottom of
58:10
Speaker 2: the shoe, it says that it has a hand-splattered maple
58:14
Speaker 2: syrup effect. Yeah, yeah. It looks like somebody dropped maple syrup.
58:20
Speaker 5: All I can think about are kids getting these and
58:22
Speaker 5: cutting that open and you finding syrup all over your rugs.
58:26
Speaker 2: And Jack's right, if it's even syrup. They come in
58:29
Speaker 2: men's sizes 8 to 13. How much do you think
58:31
Speaker 2: they are a pair? What do you think the Sticky
58:33
Speaker 2: Kicks are going to run you there?
58:34
Speaker 12: $ 80.
58:34
Speaker 2: No, $ 165.
58:38
Speaker 12: Oh.
58:39
Speaker 1: Denny's.
58:40
Speaker 2: It's a shoe.
58:43
Speaker 19: $ 120.
58:43
Speaker 27: $ 195.
58:43
Speaker 2: Whoa! $ 195 for Denny's themed tennis shoes with syrup in
58:51
Speaker 2: the tongues. But you get two free pancakes if you
58:55
Speaker 2: also buy a sandwich. There's the hook, Jack.
59:00
Speaker 4: Wow.
59:01
Speaker 2: It says they released these last year for the first time,
59:03
Speaker 2: and it said the demand never died down. People came
59:06
Speaker 2: at them all year long wondering if they're going to
59:09
Speaker 2: re-release these tennis shoes. So they did. I mean, I
59:12
Speaker 2: would probably get some sort of like a Waffle House
59:15
Speaker 2: shoe or something.
59:16
Speaker 19: I don't know.
59:17
Speaker 2: Here's the thing. It's kind of kitschy cool, right? Isn't
59:19
Speaker 2: it kind of cool? Wasn't there a period of time,
59:21
Speaker 2: and I think maybe even now, where younger kids were
59:24
Speaker 2: wearing old brands, and you'd see a young kid on
59:28
Speaker 2: stage at a band, and they'd have an Amoco shirt
59:32
Speaker 2: or an old shirt from an old restaurant or something,
59:35
Speaker 2: Burger Chef or something. I don't know. That retro thing
59:37
Speaker 2: is very hot with the young kids. I think there's
59:40
Speaker 2: always going to be an element of that indefinitely, right?
59:43
Speaker 2: I think there's always going to be younger people who
59:46
Speaker 2: enjoy vintage clothes. I have somewhat of a hot take, though.
59:50
Speaker 2: I just don't think fashion trends are like the way
59:55
Speaker 2: that they used to be, I guess. Explain. There would
59:58
Speaker 2: be more people that would involve themselves with the number
1:00:01
Speaker 2: one fashion trend, I think, in the past per capita
1:00:04
Speaker 2: than right now. Well, I think with the Internet, everything
1:00:06
Speaker 2: has a shorter shelf life, right? Because you see so
1:00:09
Speaker 2: much of it, you get burned out on it so quickly, right?
1:00:12
Speaker 2: I wouldn't even say it's a shorter shelf life. Run
1:00:14
Speaker 2: with this weird IKEA metaphor. But there's just more shelves.
1:00:20
Speaker 2: Back in the day, there were a couple of shelves.
1:00:24
Speaker 2: And now there's this infinite abyss of shelves that I
1:00:28
Speaker 2: don't see how a huge trend could dominate those amount
1:00:32
Speaker 2: of shelves. I think this is making sense. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:00:35
Speaker 2: It is making sense. Actually, it makes perfect sense. Because
1:00:37
Speaker 2: we've talked about this with certain music. The one thing
1:00:40
Speaker 2: I find very bizarre about hip-hop music, although incredibly popular,
1:00:45
Speaker 2: the popularity of a certain song or album will be
1:00:47
Speaker 2: two or three or four months later. And then you'll
1:00:49
Speaker 2: never hear it again. And hip-hop music doesn't have that
1:00:53
Speaker 2: same adherence to bringing back the classics the way that
1:00:56
Speaker 2: rock or country or other brands of music do. Or
1:00:59
Speaker 2: we revel in the past and the classics, and they
1:01:01
Speaker 2: don't really do that with hip-hop. How about this? What
1:01:04
Speaker 2: year did you first get into hip-hop rap? 81 when
1:01:07
Speaker 2: I heard the message from Grandmaster Flash. From 81 to 2026,
1:01:11
Speaker 2: this is the least popular rap has ever been.
1:01:14
Speaker 12: Yeah.
1:01:15
Speaker 2: It's the least influential rap has ever been.
1:01:18
Speaker 5: It's interesting you say that because it's not even close
1:01:20
Speaker 5: when it comes to what Gen Z's– their top music format?
1:01:25
Speaker 2: Country. It's like Noah Khan or something like that?
1:01:27
Speaker 5: It's country.
1:01:28
Speaker 2: Is it really? Wow, really?
1:01:29
Speaker 5: It's country. Even modern– Christian music beats hip-hop and rap.
1:01:34
Speaker 2: Wow, really? I know hip-hop is in a swoon, there's
1:01:37
Speaker 2: no question, but I didn't think it was like that.
1:01:38
Speaker 2: I thought that that Noah Khan and kind of folky,
1:01:43
Speaker 2: what they call rattle and stomp music is very popular
1:01:45
Speaker 2: with young kids now, too. Yeah, and the reason why
1:01:48
Speaker 2: I feel comfortable saying that into a microphone of like
1:01:50
Speaker 2: rap has been in, this is one of the worst
1:01:53
Speaker 2: situations that I've ever seen it in is that it
1:01:55
Speaker 2: didn't billboard. I don't think a hip-hop song topped rap.
1:02:02
Speaker 2: the top 100 what do you think that is just
1:02:04
Speaker 2: people tired of so much of it or i mean
1:02:06
Speaker 2: is it just like it's out of fashion now or
1:02:08
Speaker 2: what i mean that's kind of wild because four years
1:02:10
Speaker 2: ago you know i mean you could say i mean
1:02:12
Speaker 2: even three or four years ago you could name four
1:02:14
Speaker 2: artists that are like selling out stadiums multiple nights travis
1:02:17
Speaker 2: scott drake guys like that they're still doing that.
1:02:20
Speaker 5: I still i think gen z is that um far
1:02:23
Speaker 5: more emotionally sensitive generation and so they would Gear more
1:02:29
Speaker 5: toward the country music lyrics than the hip-hop and rap.
1:02:34
Speaker 5: At least that's what we learned recently.
1:02:35
Speaker 2: Throwing this out here, too, I would pinpoint it on, like,
1:02:38
Speaker 2: why don't young people basically– there was an entire generation
1:02:43
Speaker 2: of rap fans that saw all of their rappers dying.
1:02:48
Speaker 2: They weren't my favorite rappers, but I did enjoy Lil Peep.
1:02:51
Speaker 2: I'm kind of a Lil Peep fan, closeted, because it's garbage,
1:02:55
Speaker 2: trash music. Lil Xan's still with us, by the way?
1:02:57
Speaker 2: Lil Xan still is. In fact, I believe, turned his
1:03:00
Speaker 2: life around. Did he really? And he's now an advocate
1:03:03
Speaker 2: to be against painkillers. I'll be damned. That's good for him, man.
1:03:06
Speaker 2: That's the last time I heard of him, but there were...
1:03:10
Speaker 2: But this younger people generation of rap famous people, they
1:03:16
Speaker 2: all died more so than any other rap generation. I
1:03:18
Speaker 2: know that sounds crazy with Biggie and Pac. Those are
1:03:21
Speaker 2: huge names. But their smaller names, there was like seven
1:03:24
Speaker 2: of them either overdosed or got killed.
1:03:27
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
1:03:28
Speaker 2: Wild stuff, man. Do you want a pair of these
1:03:30
Speaker 2: shoes for Christmas or not?
1:03:32
Speaker 11: No.
1:03:33
Speaker 2: All right.
1:03:35
Speaker 11: 407-916-1041.
1:03:35
Speaker 2: Text us at 77031. Back in one sec with more
1:03:38
Speaker 2: of the Jim Colbert Show.
1:03:41
Speaker 13: After a morning Colbert crew on this wet, wet Thursday.
1:03:44
Speaker 13: So hearing you guys talk about naming cars, I remember
1:03:47
Speaker 13: right when I got my little Ranger. Bright yellow, very feminine.
1:03:49
Speaker 2: Call it Tracy.
1:03:50
Speaker 13: But ended up getting a new engine at a quarter
1:03:52
Speaker 13: million miles and became a brute. Burning tires, smoking rubber,
1:03:56
Speaker 13: and I renamed it Tonka. So now, since my truck
1:04:00
Speaker 13: is technically transgender, my only thought was, can it compete
1:04:03
Speaker 13: in drag races anymore?
1:04:05
Speaker 11: Oh, man.
1:04:06
Speaker 2: Big T out. I think he wrote that. Good afternoon,
1:04:09
Speaker 2: Covert and Company. Man, I am Team Denny's.
1:04:13
Speaker 17: I have never once in my life ate at a
1:04:16
Speaker 17: Waffle House or an International House of Pancakes.
1:04:22
Speaker 2: Them shoes, dude. Those kids are going to be cutting
1:04:25
Speaker 2: them shoes open. Five seconds. Just like in the day
1:04:29
Speaker 2: when we had Stretch Armstrong.
1:04:31
Speaker 11: Oh, yeah. Cut him open.
1:04:33
Speaker 2: See what that red stuff inside him was.
1:04:35
Speaker 28: It was corn syrup.
1:04:39
Speaker 2: Red coloring. Okay, buddy. Don't need you to read the
1:04:44
Speaker 2: ingredients list. I appreciate that. I've also cut open a
1:04:47
Speaker 2: Stretch Armstrong. Toys were so much easier for us in
1:04:50
Speaker 2: the day, buddy. We didn't have PSs or Xboxes or controllers.
1:04:54
Speaker 2: It was a man filled with goo that you just stretched.
1:05:00
Speaker 2: And it couldn't have been more popular. And I think
1:05:02
Speaker 2: that's one reason why I always appreciate being born in
1:05:06
Speaker 2: 1989 is that I still have that same memory.
1:05:09
Speaker 28: Oh, really?
1:05:09
Speaker 2: Yeah. I'll be damned. I remember Stretch Armstrong. Dude, that
1:05:12
Speaker 2: was like an early 80s game, like late 70s game. Yeah.
1:05:15
Speaker 2: And that thing weighed a ton, man. You put him
1:05:17
Speaker 2: in the freezer. My uncle would put him in the freezer.
1:05:19
Speaker 2: I don't know why. It was wild. Just to make
1:05:21
Speaker 2: him stay in certain positions. Now that I think about it,
1:05:24
Speaker 2: it's really weird. Let me be honest with you. I'm
1:05:27
Speaker 2: going to delete this entire thing and never call him again.
1:05:29
Speaker 2: Like being born in 89, you remember Stretch Armstrong, but
1:05:32
Speaker 2: you also remember AIM. I remember AIM, AOL, instant message,
1:05:37
Speaker 2: being on the ground floor of that and being a
1:05:40
Speaker 2: young kid just trolling people. It's so funny the waves
1:05:44
Speaker 2: we go through as Americans and the stuff that we
1:05:46
Speaker 2: get in our mailboxes. Like now I'm inundated with cruise
1:05:49
Speaker 2: information because I like going on cruises. But remember back
1:05:52
Speaker 2: in the day when every other day you'd get an
1:05:54
Speaker 2: AOL CD?
1:05:55
Speaker 5: Yep.
1:05:55
Speaker 2: Or was it AOL or Earthlink?
1:05:59
Speaker 4: Yes.
1:05:59
Speaker 2: Or any of those.
1:06:00
Speaker 5: There was another one.
1:06:00
Speaker 2: Any of those server providers. Any of those providers, man.
1:06:03
Speaker 2: It was like they wanted every day. I was like,
1:06:06
Speaker 2: how do they afford that? I can't be the only
1:06:08
Speaker 2: one they're sending a CD to. The late 90s. Those
1:06:12
Speaker 2: things were flying. Yeah, crazy.
1:06:13
Speaker 29: All right.
1:06:14
Speaker 2: Welcome back. I'm Jim. There's Deb. Hello.
1:06:15
Speaker 1: Jack.
1:06:16
Speaker 2: And Ross. What was your favorite toy as a kid? Barbie. Barbies. Yeah, yeah.
1:06:21
Speaker 2: You were a doll girl.
1:06:22
Speaker 5: I just learned not to iron their hair.
1:06:25
Speaker 2: Oh, it melted it.
1:06:26
Speaker 18: Yeah.
1:06:26
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah.
1:06:27
Speaker 2: That's a bad thing.
1:06:27
Speaker 3: Yeah.
1:06:28
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah.
1:06:28
Speaker 2: That's wild that you tried to do that.
1:06:30
Speaker 5: While you guys were cutting open your stretch Armstrongs, we
1:06:33
Speaker 5: were ironing our Barbie's hair thinking, well.
1:06:35
Speaker 2: We'll make it stro. Look at that. Hey, Mom. Kirk
1:06:41
Speaker 2: broke the iron. Together, look. They're survivors.
1:06:45
Speaker 10: Oh, yeah, yeah.
1:06:46
Speaker 5: Look at that.
1:06:46
Speaker 2: They survived something. No Colbert Court this week. I forgot
1:06:50
Speaker 2: that Glenn told us last week he was going to
1:06:51
Speaker 2: be not available today. So we'll do Colbert Court next
1:06:56
Speaker 2: week when Glenn is back. So I wanted to ask–
1:06:59
Speaker 2: this is a little question I wanted to ask at
1:07:01
Speaker 2: the top of the hour. I'll kind of pitch it
1:07:02
Speaker 2: out now. This is probably going to be like a
1:07:04
Speaker 2: texting service thing mostly. I guess people could leave talkbacks
1:07:06
Speaker 2: as well. Do you guys remember an incident in high
1:07:10
Speaker 2: school that still lasts– that people still talk about to
1:07:14
Speaker 2: this day? Like something that happened in your high school
1:07:18
Speaker 2: the years you were there? And it's so funny, when
1:07:20
Speaker 2: I read this thing on Reddit today or yesterday, I
1:07:23
Speaker 2: thought to myself, what a great question because it's so funny. Immediately,
1:07:27
Speaker 2: I remembered what it was. Like immediately, it wasn't even close.
1:07:31
Speaker 2: There was a big scandal in our high school that
1:07:33
Speaker 2: somebody broke into the high school, three students broke into
1:07:36
Speaker 2: the high school. And they soaked the windows. They took
1:07:39
Speaker 2: soap and wrote on the windows, like, you know, all
1:07:41
Speaker 2: kinds of crazy stuff about the principal and stuff. And
1:07:43
Speaker 2: they did a bunch of other stuff in the school,
1:07:45
Speaker 2: but it was so scandalous. I mean, it was the,
1:07:48
Speaker 2: everybody talked about it. It was in the newspaper. It
1:07:50
Speaker 2: was everything. Nobody got hurt. Nothing got broken. It's just
1:07:54
Speaker 2: that three people broke into the school and did something stupid.
1:07:57
Speaker 2: And for some reason that paralyzed our County. I feel
1:08:01
Speaker 2: like enough time has passed that I can say this publicly.
1:08:04
Speaker 5: Oh, boy.
1:08:05
Speaker 10: I know.
1:08:05
Speaker 2: That is never a good way to start anything. It's
1:08:08
Speaker 2: not good. It was a tragedy. The question was, well,
1:08:12
Speaker 2: you know, is there one thing from your high school
1:08:13
Speaker 2: that still jumps out? Yeah, that gets talked about still
1:08:16
Speaker 2: to this day. I know I talk about it amongst
1:08:20
Speaker 2: my friends of being like, this was the craziest news
1:08:22
Speaker 2: that happened in high school was that A student, a
1:08:25
Speaker 2: grade below her, was shot and killed breaking into a
1:08:31
Speaker 2: girl in my math class's home. No way. So another
1:08:35
Speaker 2: student was shot and killed while breaking into a fellow
1:08:38
Speaker 2: student's house? Yes. It was her dad. Oh, no.
1:08:41
Speaker 11: That.
1:08:43
Speaker 2: Ended up defending his home wow and also to make
1:08:47
Speaker 2: the plot thicken even more he was there because he
1:08:51
Speaker 2: knew something of very high value was in the home
1:08:55
Speaker 2: oh really Oh, he wasn't there to see the girl.
1:08:59
Speaker 2: He was there to steal something. He was there to
1:09:01
Speaker 2: steal something.
1:09:01
Speaker 18: Wow.
1:09:01
Speaker 2: And let's just say that something might have been something
1:09:04
Speaker 2: not the most legal.
1:09:05
Speaker 8: Oh, really?
1:09:06
Speaker 12: Oh, no.
1:09:08
Speaker 2: So the dude found out a girl's dad was a plug. Yeah,
1:09:12
Speaker 2: so he decided to try to hit that lick, and
1:09:15
Speaker 2: then he read that lick, and it was... That lick
1:09:18
Speaker 2: read him. That was the last thing. It was this
1:09:21
Speaker 2: really weird dynamic for months of like, we know that
1:09:26
Speaker 2: your dad took his life. Wow, that's so crazy. And
1:09:30
Speaker 2: I bet no one messed with her. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I... Yeah.
1:09:35
Speaker 2: That was a weird month. Not only did I have
1:09:37
Speaker 2: one for high school, I had one for middle school.
1:09:39
Speaker 2: The one for middle school is disgusting. And I will
1:09:42
Speaker 2: tell you right now, if you went back to my
1:09:44
Speaker 2: class that I graduated and I said, do you remember
1:09:47
Speaker 2: what happened in the Beasley boys' locker room? Everybody is
1:09:51
Speaker 2: going to know. So there's two kids that came to
1:09:54
Speaker 2: our school, and they were kind of– They were kind
1:09:58
Speaker 2: of like garbage pail kids. I'm not trying to be
1:10:00
Speaker 2: a dick, but they were. They were just kind of,
1:10:01
Speaker 2: you know, scruffy, you know, kids that really didn't take care,
1:10:05
Speaker 2: didn't get taken care of. Parents really didn't care about
1:10:07
Speaker 2: them so much. They were kind of like feral, you know?
1:10:10
Speaker 2: And they were in school. This is middle school. I
1:10:12
Speaker 2: was in eighth grade. And we go to gym class.
1:10:16
Speaker 2: And I don't know if you had to do this.
1:10:17
Speaker 2: We had to change clothes in gym, get into your
1:10:18
Speaker 2: gym clothes, and then go to gym and then take
1:10:20
Speaker 2: a shower and then go back to school, right? Did
1:10:22
Speaker 2: you have to do that?
1:10:23
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah.
1:10:23
Speaker 2: You would change in front of everyone else. You would
1:10:26
Speaker 2: never get naked. I would never get naked. I never
1:10:28
Speaker 2: showered and nobody ever showered. Yeah, they made us. The
1:10:31
Speaker 2: coach would. stand outside the shower with a clipboard with
1:10:33
Speaker 2: your name and if he didn't see you go in
1:10:35
Speaker 2: and come out showered you got in trouble for it
1:10:37
Speaker 2: they would literally make you go and do it i
1:10:39
Speaker 2: don't think that flies these days it does not fly
1:10:42
Speaker 2: at all these days i don't think any teacher could
1:10:44
Speaker 2: look at any student and be like take it all
1:10:46
Speaker 2: off all your clothes off.
1:10:48
Speaker 5: Our gym teacher used to rip the shower curtain open
1:10:51
Speaker 5: no way yes yeah that's a little much i tease
1:10:54
Speaker 5: my parents that i was gonna put tassels on the
1:10:56
Speaker 5: end Miss Bouchard and I was going to learn how
1:10:59
Speaker 5: to twist them in opposite directions to at least give
1:11:02
Speaker 5: her a show.
1:11:02
Speaker 2: So it was a girl teacher?
1:11:04
Speaker 5: Oh, well, yeah. That's using the word loosely, but yeah.
1:11:08
Speaker 2: She peed standing up?
1:11:09
Speaker 5: She sure did. Bowler?
1:11:10
Speaker 2: One foot on the wall. She's a bowler. Stop it.
1:11:14
Speaker 2: Stop it. She was a handsome young lady? Yeah, these
1:11:19
Speaker 2: two guys got into a fight with something you never
1:11:22
Speaker 2: want to get in a fight with. They were throwing
1:11:25
Speaker 2: it at each other.
1:11:26
Speaker 5: Sex toy.
1:11:27
Speaker 28: No.
1:11:28
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no. Bad excrement.
1:11:31
Speaker 11: Yeah.
1:11:33
Speaker 4: Oh.
1:11:33
Speaker 18: Yep.
1:11:34
Speaker 2: That's exactly what happened. 1,000% that was the truth. They
1:11:39
Speaker 2: did their thing and then started throwing at each other.
1:11:41
Speaker 2: So when we went to go into the locker room,
1:11:43
Speaker 2: the coach stopped us and said, can't go in there. Um,
1:11:46
Speaker 2: so-and-so and so-and-so got into an S fight and the
1:11:50
Speaker 2: locker room has it in places. And we don't know
1:11:52
Speaker 2: because the lockers had vents so that it could breathe,
1:11:55
Speaker 2: but it wasn't like vents that pointed down like an
1:11:57
Speaker 2: air conditioning vent. It was just like a grid of
1:12:00
Speaker 2: open holes. So some people's lockers caught, caught it. Yeah. Yeah.
1:12:05
Speaker 2: It was disgusting. And I'm telling you that went, that was,
1:12:08
Speaker 2: that lasted for 20 years. I went to reunions and
1:12:11
Speaker 2: people still remembered that. And, you know, in their defense,
1:12:14
Speaker 2: that's just like a late food fight. Yeah. Just a
1:12:18
Speaker 2: delayed food fight.
1:12:19
Speaker 26: Yeah, yeah.
1:12:19
Speaker 2: You just missed your window of time. Who's this, Jack? Gary. Gary. Gary,
1:12:24
Speaker 2: what you got, buddy? You're on the Jim Colbert Show.
1:12:27
Speaker 1: Hey, good afternoon. Oak Ridge High School, Orlando, Florida. Way back, 1979, 1980.
1:12:33
Speaker 1: The senior class before I got there flushed some stuff
1:12:38
Speaker 1: down the toilet. And the chemical reaction blew the plumbing
1:12:42
Speaker 1: out of several boys' bathrooms.
1:12:44
Speaker 30: No.
1:12:45
Speaker 1: So, yeah, that was a big thing.
1:12:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I can imagine that was a big thing.
1:12:50
Speaker 4: Thanks, buddy.
1:12:50
Speaker 2: I appreciate your call. We didn't have anything that violent. Like,
1:12:53
Speaker 2: nobody broke anything. But I'm telling you, the crazy part
1:12:56
Speaker 2: is that senior thing when those dudes broke into the
1:12:58
Speaker 2: school and soaked the windows and wrote all the stuff
1:13:00
Speaker 2: about the principal and the dean and stuff. That was
1:13:02
Speaker 2: so salacious. But we also had, like, there was a
1:13:05
Speaker 2: lot of rumors of at least one male teacher that
1:13:08
Speaker 2: had an uncomfortable crush and showed it during class on
1:13:13
Speaker 2: a senior girl that was in my class, brought her
1:13:15
Speaker 2: flowers and stuff. The teacher. The teacher did, dude. And
1:13:20
Speaker 2: nobody said a word about it. Like, all the students
1:13:22
Speaker 2: would be like, I don't know.
1:13:23
Speaker 4: Mr.
1:13:23
Speaker 2: M is, like, getting out there a little bit with what's-her-face.
1:13:26
Speaker 2: I mean, he should not be doing that. And nobody
1:13:28
Speaker 2: said a word. And there was a female teacher. And
1:13:30
Speaker 2: oddly enough, she was a little older. She's still alive
1:13:34
Speaker 2: and still actually kind of good friends with some of
1:13:35
Speaker 2: the people I went to high school with. And there
1:13:37
Speaker 2: was a lot of rumors that she had some extracurricular
1:13:41
Speaker 2: affairs with a couple students as well. He taught driver's ed,
1:13:45
Speaker 2: but it was pronounced driver's ed.
1:13:46
Speaker 15: Yeah.
1:13:48
Speaker 2: Jack, you have anything like that? I'm trying to think,
1:13:51
Speaker 2: and I wonder if— Come on, Jack! I believe! It's
1:13:55
Speaker 2: Jersey Jack. Something had to have happened. And I, I
1:13:57
Speaker 2: wonder if it's secular. Like if you ask like the administration,
1:14:01
Speaker 2: if they go through waves of like a wild class
1:14:04
Speaker 2: and then it settles down for a few years and
1:14:06
Speaker 2: then it gets wild. Yeah. If it's a street. Cause I,
1:14:10
Speaker 2: I just can't recall anything that was like that.
1:14:13
Speaker 25: Yeah.
1:14:13
Speaker 2: Really? But then again, I talked to zero people that
1:14:17
Speaker 2: I went to high school.
1:14:18
Speaker 9: Yeah.
1:14:18
Speaker 8: Yeah.
1:14:18
Speaker 2: I've been to zero reunion.
1:14:20
Speaker 18: Yeah.
1:14:20
Speaker 7: Yeah.
1:14:20
Speaker 2: Yeah. Do you have anything like that? Catholic schools are
1:14:23
Speaker 2: a little notorious for having some naughty going on, right?
1:14:27
Speaker 5: This isn't really naughty, and it wasn't in high school.
1:14:29
Speaker 5: This was closer to middle school, maybe seventh grade. Had
1:14:35
Speaker 5: a drama teacher, really sweet lady, used to be a nun.
1:14:40
Speaker 5: She and her husband were going through a really hard
1:14:43
Speaker 5: time financially. And when I look back, I'm like the
1:14:46
Speaker 5: things that my teachers used to wear, we used to
1:14:48
Speaker 5: pick on them behind their backs, like my 60s outfit,
1:14:51
Speaker 5: you know, not realizing they made S for money. So
1:14:55
Speaker 5: her husband had gone to the bank trying to get
1:14:58
Speaker 5: a loan. And the bank said no. And we had
1:15:03
Speaker 5: just been on a school field trip with him in
1:15:06
Speaker 5: a bus to Chicago or Milwaukee on the bus for
1:15:08
Speaker 5: hours after he was told no. He broke into the
1:15:13
Speaker 5: bank and shot the bank president in the vault in
1:15:16
Speaker 5: the back of his head.
1:15:17
Speaker 2: No way!
1:15:19
Speaker 5: And then we watched as our middle school teacher and
1:15:22
Speaker 5: her children are being tracked by police helicopters live on
1:15:25
Speaker 5: the news as her husband is running into the woods
1:15:28
Speaker 5: where they shot and killed him.
1:15:31
Speaker 2: Jack, that was supposed to happen in Jersey.
1:15:34
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:15:36
Speaker 2: Next topic. Yeah.
1:15:38
Speaker 25: Bam.
1:15:38
Speaker 2: Oh, my God. Deb is in the chat. Wow. Love
1:15:44
Speaker 2: when we get a new story.
1:15:45
Speaker 11: Wow.
1:15:45
Speaker 5: It was heartbreaking because they were such a sweet couple,
1:15:49
Speaker 5: and it just goes to show how desperate money problems,
1:15:53
Speaker 5: when you've got mouths to feed, just how desperate they
1:15:56
Speaker 5: will send money. A good man, he was a good
1:15:58
Speaker 5: man right over the edge.
1:15:59
Speaker 2: Wow. It's the only type of people that you can
1:16:02
Speaker 2: confidently say commits crime.
1:16:05
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:16:05
Speaker 2: Which is poor.
1:16:06
Speaker 5: Exactly, because you're desperate.
1:16:08
Speaker 2: Poverty is the biggest indicator when it comes to crime,
1:16:12
Speaker 2: and it always has been. It was.
1:16:14
Speaker 5: Wow. Yeah, it was crazy to watch it on the news,
1:16:17
Speaker 5: because here you're watching your teacher... Trying to keep her
1:16:20
Speaker 5: two kids away from what she knows is about to happen. Wow, man.
1:16:25
Speaker 5: Law enforcement is closing in on him. There's live cameras
1:16:28
Speaker 5: watching him run into the woods.
1:16:30
Speaker 2: She didn't know anything about it, right?
1:16:32
Speaker 5: She didn't know that. I mean, she knew about the loan.
1:16:35
Speaker 5: She knew that they got turned down.
1:16:36
Speaker 2: But she didn't know he was going to go there
1:16:37
Speaker 2: and execute a dude.
1:16:38
Speaker 5: Exactly.
1:16:39
Speaker 2: Wow, unbelievable.
1:16:40
Speaker 5: In the bank vault.
1:16:42
Speaker 2: 407-916-1041. By the way, if you want to call with
1:16:44
Speaker 2: your story, I'll gladly take calls. We'll talk to Kyle
1:16:47
Speaker 2: here in a second. We'll go to break. If you
1:16:48
Speaker 2: guys want to fill up the lines with these stories,
1:16:50
Speaker 2: I would love to hear some. We can do that
1:16:51
Speaker 2: on the other side. Let's talk to Kyle. Kyle, how
1:16:54
Speaker 2: are you, everybody? Hey there, Jim. How are you doing, man?
1:16:57
Speaker 2: I'm doing good.
1:16:58
Speaker 26: I think I got a story for you all. I
1:17:00
Speaker 26: grew up in Colorado, and this was right around Columbine. Um,
1:17:04
Speaker 26: they were actually a rival school of ours and someone decided, Hey,
1:17:07
Speaker 26: you know what they did there seems like a good idea.
1:17:09
Speaker 26: Maybe I need to do it at your school too. And, uh,
1:17:11
Speaker 26: we had a school shooting kid got shot. I don't
1:17:14
Speaker 26: believe they died and they're injured. Uh, you know, the
1:17:16
Speaker 26: whole school got locked down. Kid was bullied or something
1:17:19
Speaker 26: like that and brought a gun to school. It was
1:17:21
Speaker 26: right in that time, though, like one of the first,
1:17:23
Speaker 26: you know, right after Columbine, it was like one of
1:17:25
Speaker 26: the first big school shootings. And next thing you know,
1:17:27
Speaker 26: we're a rival school. Now we got a school shooting
1:17:29
Speaker 26: going on.
1:17:29
Speaker 2: I've got a question. Were you surprised by maybe the,
1:17:33
Speaker 2: because this is shocking to me, you know, this is
1:17:36
Speaker 2: the first time I've heard of this incident. Were you
1:17:38
Speaker 2: surprised by the media coverage of this incident, whether it
1:17:41
Speaker 2: was big or too small?
1:17:44
Speaker 26: Yeah, I was actually on the news talking to him.
1:17:47
Speaker 26: One of the students had gotten to talk to him.
1:17:48
Speaker 2: As I was walking out.
1:17:49
Speaker 26: They just caught me and well, how do you feel
1:17:51
Speaker 26: about all this? So I was like, oh, it was
1:17:52
Speaker 26: my big moment. I was on the news. But, yeah,
1:17:54
Speaker 26: it was odd because Columbine was a huge thing at
1:17:58
Speaker 26: that time. It had just happened. And then this kid
1:18:00
Speaker 26: now came to school, bullied all this. So it was
1:18:03
Speaker 26: a really big deal, and they reported on it for
1:18:04
Speaker 26: quite some time.
1:18:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I can imagine, man. Well, thanks for your call, buddy.
1:18:07
Speaker 2: Appreciate that very much. Glad you're safe. Thank you, buddy.
1:18:09
Speaker 2: Appreciate that. Got a couple more calls if you want
1:18:11
Speaker 2: to fill them up.
1:18:13
Speaker 6: 407-916-1041.
1:18:14
Speaker 2: We'll take those calls next. You're listening to The Jim
1:18:15
Speaker 2: Colbert Show on Real Radio 104.1.
1:18:18
Speaker 3: You're listening to The Jim Colbert Show on Real Radio 104.1.
1:18:31
Speaker 27: So, yeah, we had an acquaintance of mine was shot
1:18:34
Speaker 27: and killed by his stepdad during an argument in high school.
1:18:38
Speaker 27: That was pretty gnarly. And then the following year we
1:18:41
Speaker 27: had a group of students flip their car while driving drunk.
1:18:45
Speaker 27: Out in the middle of nowhere. They weren't found for
1:18:47
Speaker 27: like 8 to 12 hours and one of them passed
1:18:49
Speaker 27: away in the meantime. while they were all hanging upside
1:18:51
Speaker 27: down in the car. And then every Sunday during driver's training, ironically,
1:18:55
Speaker 27: I would take a beer from the night before and
1:18:58
Speaker 27: drink during all those boring moves.
1:19:01
Speaker 2: God almighty.
1:19:05
Speaker 12: This is just proof that we come from monkeys. I mean,
1:19:10
Speaker 12: when kids are throwing their own ass at each other.
1:19:15
Speaker 11: Oh, man.
1:19:17
Speaker 2: Isn't that what monkeys do?
1:19:22
Speaker 22: I remember when I went to a performing arts high
1:19:25
Speaker 22: school in Kissimmee, there was a student who was in
1:19:31
Speaker 22: the drama department, and he and the drama teacher had
1:19:36
Speaker 22: a sexual relationship. And it was all over the school,
1:19:40
Speaker 22: and the teacher resigned before he could get in trouble
1:19:44
Speaker 22: about it.
1:19:44
Speaker 2: That was a big deal. That doesn't stop trouble. That's
1:19:46
Speaker 2: my story about high school. All right, welcome back to

1:20:06
Speaker 13: Jack.
1:20:06
Speaker 11: Yep.
1:20:07
Speaker 2: And Ross. It's Drew. Saw this thing on Reddit today.
1:20:09
Speaker 2: It said, what's the incident that happened at your high
1:20:11
Speaker 2: school that people still talk about to this day? And
1:20:13
Speaker 2: we've had crazy calls and texts, but we have a
1:20:17
Speaker 2: full bank. So let's get to these calls here. Cole, Cole,
1:20:19
Speaker 2: how you doing, buddy? You're on the Jim Colbert Show. Hey, Jim.
1:20:23
Speaker 11: Hey, I'm out of state.
1:20:24
Speaker 28: I'm not going to list the state that I'm from,
1:20:27
Speaker 28: but I'll tell you that my high school, one of
1:20:30
Speaker 28: the substitute teachers, they ended up seeing somebody at a
1:20:35
Speaker 28: McDonald's that they had, and they mentioned that they would
1:20:39
Speaker 28: have done some nasty stuff to that student, and.
1:20:43
Speaker 15: He is no longer a substitute teacher.
1:20:47
Speaker 2: Oh, so he basically just said out loud what he
1:20:49
Speaker 2: wanted to do to one of the students?
1:20:51
Speaker 4: He would hate it.
1:20:53
Speaker 2: Oh, boy. Okay, very good. There you go.
1:20:56
Speaker 9: Thanks, Cole.
1:20:57
Speaker 2: All right. Hey, Ray, how you doing, buddy? You're on
1:20:59
Speaker 2: the Jim Colbert Show.
1:21:01
Speaker 3: Doing good.
1:21:02
Speaker 8: Trying to beat this traffic, man.
1:21:03
Speaker 11: I feel you.
1:21:07
Speaker 8: It's a pretty sad story. So I was a graduating
1:21:10
Speaker 8: class of 2000 in Kissimmee. I'm not going to say
1:21:13
Speaker 8: the high school. We had a really good football team,
1:21:16
Speaker 8: and we had a really wonderful wide receiver and linebacker.
1:21:21
Speaker 8: And they were fantastic, beloved by everybody. But we didn't
1:21:24
Speaker 8: realize that they lived in an area where crime was
1:21:29
Speaker 8: every day. And so one day they were in the
1:21:30
Speaker 8: park hanging out, and it's one of those being at
1:21:34
Speaker 8: the wrong place at the wrong time.
1:21:36
Speaker 1: They both got shot.
1:21:37
Speaker 8: The linebacker got shot in the leg. and the Y
1:21:40
Speaker 8: receiver got shot in the torso, but they went to
1:21:43
Speaker 8: the hospital. They were both in stable condition, and the
1:21:48
Speaker 8: Y receiver was released after three days, and his mom
1:21:53
Speaker 8: and dad brought him home, and he was still in
1:21:56
Speaker 8: the wheelchair looking out the window, and all of a sudden,
1:21:58
Speaker 8: he just died just like that.
1:22:00
Speaker 12: Oh, geez.
1:22:01
Speaker 8: Yeah, and we come to find out that he developed
1:22:05
Speaker 8: some sort of blood clot from the injuries and everything, so...
1:22:09
Speaker 8: The gist of the story is that the senior, the
1:22:15
Speaker 8: people that were in charge of the yearbook, they decided
1:22:17
Speaker 8: to do, like, videos of last-minute testaments before, because we're
1:22:22

Speaker 31: Well, while over the top of the flagpole.
1:27:47
Speaker 11: The ladder fell.
1:27:49
Speaker 31: He slides down the flagpole. The part where you wrap
1:27:52
Speaker 31: the rope around the flagpole caught his thigh, ripped up,
1:27:56
Speaker 31: and he had to get one of his boys removed.

Speaker 2: Bummer.
1:29:07
Speaker 15: This goes back when I was in first grade. It's
1:29:10
Speaker 15: a good one. So I'm in first grade. We're going
1:29:13
Speaker 15: to school the day before Christmas break. I don't have
1:29:16
Speaker 15: a present for our teacher, our homeroom teacher. So there's
1:29:20
Speaker 15: a plate of cookies on the counter. So I'm like,
1:29:22
Speaker 15: all right, yeah, I'll grab those. No problem. Send them
1:29:24
Speaker 15: off to the teacher. She's like loving them. Bring them
1:29:27
Speaker 15: to the teacher's lounge. I get home that night. My
1:29:30
Speaker 15: mom's like, well, where are the cookies? I said, well,

1:29:35
Speaker 15: She goes, well, those were our special cookies that I
1:29:38
Speaker 15: made for your dad for his buddies at work. And
1:29:42

1:29:45
Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
1:29:47
Speaker 15: So they had infused butter with a certain herb with
1:29:52

1:30:17
Speaker 2: a sec with more of the Jim Colbert Show. He
1:30:19
Speaker 2: was in karate. He turned so he would take the
1:30:30
Speaker 2: kick on his butt.
1:30:31
Speaker 22: The guy planted the foot and spun around and kicked them,
1:30:36
Speaker 22: and it popped.
1:30:40
Speaker 24: So, Jeremy, I went to Catholic high school, and four
1:30:43
Speaker 24: weeks before senior homecoming, the girl who ended up becoming
1:30:46
Speaker 24: homecoming queen broke up with her boyfriend. And as she's
1:30:49
Speaker 24: winning her award for being homecoming queen, right about when
1:30:52
Speaker 24: she was going to address the school.
1:30:54
Speaker 2: Oh!
1:30:55
Speaker 4: Oh!
1:30:56
Speaker 2: Oh, no. I'm glad. I hope it wasn't going to
1:30:58
Speaker 2: be anything really bad. I'm done with that. I got
1:31:01
Speaker 2: it back. You want the ending? Yeah, sure. Okay, here
1:31:03
Speaker 2: we go. So, Jimmy, I went to Catholic high school.
1:31:07
Speaker 9: Yeah.
1:31:07
Speaker 24: And four weeks before senior homecoming, the girl who ended
1:31:10
Speaker 24: up becoming homecoming queen broke up with her boyfriend. And
1:31:13
Speaker 24: as she's winning her award for being homecoming queen, right
1:31:17
Speaker 24: about when she was going to address the school on
1:31:19
Speaker 24: the microphone, the guy yells out, hot dog in the
1:31:22
Speaker 24: hallway in front of the whole school. Needless to say,
1:31:26
Speaker 24: everybody got a chuckle of it except for her. And
1:31:28
Speaker 24: to this day, we all still laugh about it.
1:31:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's terrible. You shouldn't do that. You're right. That's horrible.
1:31:36
Speaker 2: I don't know if that says as much about her
1:31:37
Speaker 2: as it does him, dude.
1:31:38
Speaker 1: Yeah.
1:31:39
Speaker 2: If you think about it. All right. Welcome back to
1:31:41
Speaker 2: the Jim Corbett Show. Real Radio 104.1. I'm Jim. There's Deb.
1:31:44
Speaker 5: Hello.
1:31:44
Speaker 4: Jack.
1:31:45
Speaker 2: Destroyed a girl's life, but we chuckled.
1:31:47
Speaker 5: Hey, and we still laugh to this day.
1:31:49
Speaker 6: Isn't that funny?
1:31:50
Speaker 2: Hey, Pat McAfee did it, and he makes $ 30 million
1:31:52
Speaker 2: a year. Yeah, there you go.
1:31:53
Speaker 9: Yeah.
1:31:53
Speaker 2: Why not? This is the new culture. Just say whatever
1:31:56
Speaker 2: you want. And if it ruins anybody's life, no big deal.
1:31:58
Speaker 2: ESPN will just keep writing you $ 100 million checks to
1:32:01
Speaker 2: make you the face of the network. All you have
1:32:03
Speaker 2: to do is... Oh, don't even get me started on
1:32:06
Speaker 2: Pat McAfee. Don't even get started on that square-headed douche.
1:32:13
Speaker 2: I'm Jim. That's Ross, Jack, and Deb. Tell us how
1:32:19
Speaker 2: you really feel. He's the worst, dude. He is the worst.
1:32:22
Speaker 2: I've never seen his show. Yeah, I mean, you have.
1:32:25
Speaker 2: It's just any frat party that has stats. That's what
1:32:29
Speaker 2: it is. I see him on the screen. He's always
1:32:31
Speaker 2: here at work. It's on the screen. It's like a
1:32:34
Speaker 2: sports talk show, right?
1:32:35
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:32:36
Speaker 2: He does the game day now, and he's ruined that
1:32:39
Speaker 2: because his voice is so grating and high, and that's
1:32:41
Speaker 2: me saying that. Not to mention, he's just that guy.
1:32:44
Speaker 2: He's just that guy. You know what I see, and
1:32:48
Speaker 2: I think it– call me crazy here. Let me get
1:32:50
Speaker 2: my tinfoil hat. Don't worry. It's custom and fitted. Nice.
1:32:54
Speaker 2: I just got it in the mail. I think that
1:32:58
Speaker 2: stand-up comedy and comedy in general has been taken advantage of,
1:33:02
Speaker 2: and I see the same trick that comedians do that
1:33:05
Speaker 2: also people in power do. And I also would put
1:33:08
Speaker 2: Pat McAfee in this column as well.
1:33:10
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah.
1:33:11
Speaker 2: You go ahead and play the card of I said this,
1:33:14
Speaker 2: I do this, I said that. Oh, I was just joking.
1:33:17
Speaker 2: And then they slip out of any critical conversation or
1:33:21
Speaker 2: any critical thought of holding what you just said to
1:33:24
Speaker 2: the fire. And then by that time, when that moment
1:33:27
Speaker 2: is supposed to happen, you're looking at me going, oh,
1:33:30
Speaker 2: you got offended. Like, no, now let's have a conversation.
1:33:34
Speaker 10: Yeah.
1:33:34
Speaker 2: And he's my least favorite, very popular person right now.
1:33:37
Speaker 2: And I know he's very popular. I know. And he
1:33:39
Speaker 2: is the network right now. They I mean, they are
1:33:42
Speaker 2: like he like he was Chris Berman back in the day,
1:33:44
Speaker 2: do they just everything is Pat McAfee. He's everywhere. And
1:33:48
Speaker 2: I just don't know how well that plays long term
1:33:50
Speaker 2: because he just isn't. I mean, I don't I don't
1:33:52
Speaker 2: know if the same people who like him now are
1:33:54
Speaker 2: going to like him in five years when they're not
1:33:56
Speaker 2: 27 and they're 32 with a couple of kids. I
1:33:58
Speaker 2: don't know if it's still going to have the same vibe,
1:34:00
Speaker 2: you know. Because it's just a bunch of bro stuff.
1:34:03
Speaker 2: It's like backward hat bro stuff. And maybe it's just
1:34:06
Speaker 2: because I'm older and I don't get that. I completely
1:34:08
Speaker 2: understand that. But I grew up with ESPN. Like I
1:34:11
Speaker 2: watched the network literally from its beginning kind of grow
1:34:15
Speaker 2: into this massive monster that it is now. And then
1:34:18
Speaker 2: now Pat McAfee is the face of the organization. Well,
1:34:21
Speaker 2: I would argue that it's not the monster that it
1:34:24
Speaker 2: once was. Definitely not. And that's why they're leaning on Pat.
1:34:28
Speaker 2: And that's by their own bad business deals because the
1:34:31
Speaker 2: deal they made with the NFL for the rights basically
1:34:33
Speaker 2: destroyed the company. That's why they had to let go
1:34:35
Speaker 2: so many people over those years because they made so
1:34:38
Speaker 2: many bad licensing deals from what I understand, what I've read.
1:34:41
Speaker 2: that it's really kind of a handcuff the company and
1:34:43
Speaker 2: they had to get rid of some of their stalwart talent,
1:34:45
Speaker 2: you know, talent had been there 25 years.
1:34:47
Speaker 13: Yeah.
1:34:48
Speaker 2: I just don't like it when comedians or any person
1:34:51
Speaker 2: of in, in the public, in the public's eye hides
1:34:55
Speaker 2: behind the, like, Oh, I was just joking. Yeah, yeah. Yeah,
1:34:59
Speaker 2: I don't like that. Because it's such a bitch-ass cop-out.
1:35:01
Speaker 2: That's exactly what it is. That's why I can't say it.
1:35:02
Speaker 2: It's the least manly thing you can do. I'm sorry.
1:35:05
Speaker 2: I was looking for an adult. Yeah, yeah. There's none there.
1:35:08
Speaker 2: None on that show. That's for sure. I know this
1:35:11
Speaker 2: is probably breaking news. I don't want to take it
1:35:12
Speaker 2: from you at the end of the show. Did you
1:35:13
Speaker 2: just see what AP just broke?
1:35:16
Speaker 5: No, but I did want to mention that Hurricane Isais
1:35:20
Speaker 5: is now a strong Category 2.
1:35:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. When you said 2 earlier, I saw
1:35:25
Speaker 2: all the models that I saw when it hits Mobile
1:35:28
Speaker 2: and that area. That is a strong possibility of it
1:35:30
Speaker 2: being a three.
1:35:32
Speaker 5: That's looking like it could be the case.
1:35:34
Speaker 2: And what else is going to happen if you have
1:35:35
Speaker 2: any friends and family up in the northern Alabama, Mississippi,
1:35:39
Speaker 2: Arkansas area there? It's going to go up there near Memphis.
1:35:43
Speaker 2: It's going to stop and then go right. So this
1:35:46
Speaker 2: thing is going to cause gigantic rain events, flooding events
1:35:50
Speaker 2: all throughout that Appalachia area, west of that Appalachia area
1:35:52
Speaker 2: up there. For a couple days coming into this weekend.
1:35:55
Speaker 5: So those areas that are just starting to recover from
1:35:58
Speaker 5: Hurricane Helene.
1:35:59
Speaker 2: Thank God it's left of the areas that we talk about.
1:36:02
Speaker 2: What's the beach there we talk about all the time?
1:36:04
Speaker 2: They got literally wiped off the.
1:36:06
Speaker 5: Oh, Mexico Beach?
1:36:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, Mexico Beach. It's left of that, thank God. So
1:36:10
Speaker 2: it's not going to be a direct hit there, but
1:36:12
Speaker 2: it's going to be bad. They're already seeing some... Some
1:36:14
Speaker 2: tide changes there already. Is Yankee Town going to be okay?
1:36:17
Speaker 5: Yankee Town should be okay, but you do have mandatory
1:36:20
Speaker 5: evacuations that have just been started in the panhandle.
1:36:23
Speaker 2: The breaking news I was talking about is the AP
1:36:26
Speaker 2: just broke this. And let me make sure I got
1:36:29
Speaker 2: the guy's name right. The shooter at Fort Hood.
1:36:33
Speaker 31: Yes.
1:36:34
Speaker 2: Make sure we got this name right coming up right
1:36:36
Speaker 2: now as we speak. This is on my phone. So, yeah.
1:36:40
Speaker 2: So Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced just a few minutes
1:36:45
Speaker 2: ago that the AP is reporting that they are going
1:36:49
Speaker 2: to live stream the execution of Nadal Hassan.
1:36:54
Speaker 5: OK, that's the new part. The part about him being
1:36:57
Speaker 5: executed continues. He is the Army psychiatrist who went on
1:37:01
Speaker 5: the shooting rampage at Fort Hood.
1:37:03
Speaker 2: Killed 13 and injured 32.
1:37:04
Speaker 5: I saw that they had mentioned the firing squad, not
1:37:09
Speaker 5: the live stream.
1:37:10
Speaker 2: Wow. That just broke. The AP is reporting that Pete
1:37:13
Speaker 2: Hexeth said during an interview that they are going to
1:37:16
Speaker 2: live stream the execution of Nadal Hassan, the Fort Hood shooter.
1:37:21
Speaker 2: And I guess you'll be able to log in to
1:37:23
Speaker 2: maybe this new Trump TV thing that they have going
1:37:25
Speaker 2: or whatever. I don't know how they're going to do
1:37:27
Speaker 2: it or whatever. I just know this is something that
1:37:29
Speaker 2: 20 years ago we were joking about. We'd get to
1:37:33
Speaker 2: a place where we would live stream executions. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:37:36
Speaker 2: Or show on live television executions. And the next step
1:37:40
Speaker 2: would be to make it a pay-per-view.
1:37:42
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:37:42
Speaker 2: You know, I actually, I've seen executions streamed before. But
1:37:47
Speaker 2: who else did that? The terrorists. My bad.
1:37:49
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:37:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is kind of a weird thing, man. It's bad.
1:37:55
Speaker 2: I'm a pro-death penalty guy. I believe in it. If
1:37:58
Speaker 2: you did something, especially took the lives of 13 soldiers
1:38:01
Speaker 2: in our country and then injured 32 others, you're adjudicated
1:38:05
Speaker 2: guilty and you fit the protocol of the death penalty.
1:38:10
Speaker 2: I've got no problem with the death penalty. airing it
1:38:14
Speaker 2: to me, I believe, is another level that I don't really, like,
1:38:18
Speaker 2: I don't, and I've seen these, I've seen a shooting
1:38:22
Speaker 2: execution before on video, I've seen it, but I would
1:38:24
Speaker 2: not tune in to see something like that. I would not,
1:38:27
Speaker 2: I don't know. It's another level of shame for you.
1:38:30
Speaker 2: this country that some people are just impervious to. Yeah,
1:38:33
Speaker 2: and I think there's going to be a number of
1:38:34
Speaker 2: people who are going to enjoy this. Let's make it
1:38:36
Speaker 2: the question of the day. Do we have one yet?
1:38:40
Speaker 2: We do. What kind of music do you listen to?
1:38:42
Speaker 2: So we can swap it. I'll give you the quick
1:38:44
Speaker 2: results right now. That was... Oh, yeah, because we talked
1:38:47
Speaker 2: about that earlier. Rock, country, pop, or rap. What do
1:38:50
Speaker 2: you think? Rock is leading by... It's 41% rock. 59%.
1:38:54
Speaker 2: And then the other three, country, pop, and rap, are
1:38:56
Speaker 2: all pretty even. That's funny. I don't think I have
1:38:59
Speaker 2: ever seen... I've been shocked. I've been disturbed. I don't
1:39:03
Speaker 2: think I've ever felt this emotion off of a news
1:39:06
Speaker 2: headline of reading, Pentagon says firing squad execution of Fort
1:39:11
Speaker 2: Hood shooter will be live streamed. Is seeing that in
1:39:15
Speaker 2: all caps on an AP website is... And again, you know,
1:39:19
Speaker 2: breathtaking to say the least. And it coming from the
1:39:22
Speaker 2: AP means more. I mean, I think the AP is
1:39:23
Speaker 2: one of my most, most stalwart stops for news. Like
1:39:29
Speaker 2: for me, like when I'm looking through the news all morning,
1:39:31
Speaker 2: I know what swings certain websites have. I know certain
1:39:35
Speaker 2: sites are going to lean one way. The AP is
1:39:37
Speaker 2: one that I can log into and say, you know,
1:39:38
Speaker 2: the AP is pretty much straight down the road. And when,
1:39:43
Speaker 2: when I see this in an AP headline, you have
1:39:45
Speaker 2: to take it seriously. It's not like, you know, What's
1:39:48
Speaker 2: the question that we're posting? Would you watch it? Okay.
1:39:54
Speaker 2: Let's predict. What do you think the percentage of our
1:39:56
Speaker 2: audience is going to say that would watch that? 20? Yeah,
1:40:01
Speaker 2: I'll go. 25? I was about to say 17%. You'll
1:40:04
Speaker 2: say 17%. Debra, what percentage of the audience do you
1:40:07
Speaker 2: believe would say they would tune into the live execution
1:40:10
Speaker 2: of this guy?
1:40:12
Speaker 5: I'll say 7%. You say 7%. Jack, what say you?
1:40:13
Speaker 2: 15%. I'm going to go about, I think about 25%
1:40:19
Speaker 2: of our audience, about one out of four would say
1:40:20
Speaker 2: that they would tune in and see it. It's wild, right?
1:40:28
Speaker 2: It's beyond. Obviously, it's taking our kind of... It's running, man,
1:40:32
Speaker 2: a little bit. It's kind of wild, yeah.
1:40:33
Speaker 5: It is running, man. I was trying to think of
1:40:35
Speaker 5: the movie where... It's running, man. Public executions were the thing, yeah.
1:40:39
Speaker 2: And that was sci-fi.
1:40:40
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah.
1:40:41
Speaker 2: Well, you know, they were... Public executions were not uncommon,
1:40:45
Speaker 2: you know, years ago, and actually not that long ago.
1:40:46
Speaker 2: Matter of fact, I want you to do me a favor, Ross.
1:40:48
Speaker 2: Look up the last... beheading via guillotine in France. I
1:40:53
Speaker 2: think he was like, I want to say in like
1:40:55
Speaker 2: the 70s. Yeah, it's way in a matter of fact,
1:40:57
Speaker 2: I believe that the hangings here as well. I think
1:41:00
Speaker 2: we were hanging people in Oklahoma until I want to
1:41:03
Speaker 2: say the 70s, maybe even 80s. Yeah, 1977. Why did
1:41:07
Speaker 2: I know that? How about that? The last beheading in public.
1:41:11
Speaker 2: By the way, these were public events. Yeah, they used
1:41:12
Speaker 2: to come out to the town square to witness. Yeah,
1:41:14
Speaker 2: they built the gallows. They built the guillotine live right there.
1:41:18
Speaker 2: They would do the same with the galleys. They would
1:41:19
Speaker 2: build the gallows outside the courthouse. The adjudication came as guilty.
1:41:23
Speaker 2: They walked them out the courthouse, down the steps, and
1:41:26
Speaker 2: hung them right there. And four years later, in 1981,
1:41:29
Speaker 2: they ended capital punishment. Yeah, in France? Yeah. Altogether?
1:41:32
Speaker 4: Yeah.
1:41:35
Speaker 2: And I believe that I know there are obviously some
1:41:37
Speaker 2: of the other nations we know do firing squads. We
1:41:40
Speaker 2: did a firing squad here. Was it in South Carolina again?
1:41:43
Speaker 2: Didn't we do a firing squad recently? It was somewhere
1:41:46
Speaker 2: in the southeast. Yeah, I think it was South Carolina
1:41:48
Speaker 2: if I remember right. Did you remember that?
1:41:49
Speaker 5: I believe it was South Carolina.
1:41:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because the room is really weird because
1:41:53
Speaker 2: I believe it's the same room when there's like the
1:41:55
Speaker 2: electric chair. So when you go into the room, it's
1:41:57
Speaker 2: either there was an electric chair or a gurney there
1:41:59
Speaker 2: that they would use for the injections. And the firing
1:42:03
Speaker 2: squad area is just like off to the side of it.
1:42:05
Speaker 2: It's just a part of the room with some– I
1:42:07
Speaker 2: think concrete block behind it and a chair, and they
1:42:10
Speaker 2: sent them down there. It was last year in South Carolina,
1:42:12
Speaker 2: November 2025. Yeah, yeah. And I think probably the idea
1:42:17
Speaker 2: of the live streaming thing is because of the military
1:42:20
Speaker 2: aspect of this, right? If this was just a person
1:42:22
Speaker 2: who walked into a college or a school or whatever, unfortunately,
1:42:26
Speaker 2: we have myriad examples to pull from. But obviously, they're
1:42:31
Speaker 2: not live streaming this because of that. I think this
1:42:33
Speaker 2: is a military thing because it happened like that. That's–
1:42:35
Speaker 2: I mean– Yeah.
1:42:37
Speaker 5: No, I'll say it's just because of Hegsack.
1:42:39
Speaker 2: I'll say a little yeah to that and a whole
1:42:42
Speaker 2: bunch of I'm worried about what it could be.
1:42:45
Speaker 5: Yeah.
1:42:46
Speaker 2: I mean, platforming a human death from our government, our
1:42:50
Speaker 2: federal government, is about to livestream a human death.
1:42:53
Speaker 5: Plus his name isn't Jack Smith.
1:42:56
Speaker 2: What's the side effect of that? Do not know. Can't
1:42:59
Speaker 2: tell you the answer to that. You're going to desensitize
1:43:00
Speaker 2: an entire generation of human beings. The funny thing is also,
1:43:05
Speaker 2: usually when you go and you find videos of people
1:43:08
Speaker 2: being executed for whatever, whether it be in China, North Korea.
1:43:12
Speaker 2: It's not in English. Any in the Middle East. It's
1:43:15
Speaker 2: never from this country. You can't go find a live
1:43:19
Speaker 2: state-sponsored execution from a free country. They're not doing this
1:43:25
Speaker 2: in the free world. They're doing this in your North Koreas,
1:43:28
Speaker 2: your Chinas. Anytime there's a despot in charge. You know,
1:43:34
Speaker 2: that's what's going to happen.
1:43:38
Speaker 10: Wow.
1:43:39
Speaker 2: I mean, I'll keep talking if you want me to,
1:43:41
Speaker 2: but I'll snap this mic in half. It's disturbing. It's disgusting,
1:43:45
Speaker 2: and I don't care if that pisses off other people.
1:43:47
Speaker 2: Enjoy it. Here, I'll bleed on this microphone. Here comes
1:43:50
Speaker 2: an opinion. This is a rock bottom.
1:43:52
Speaker 25: Yeah, yeah.
1:43:52
Speaker 2: I agree. I think this is below us as a country.
1:43:56
Speaker 2: This is important. This is below us as a country.
1:43:57
Speaker 2: Don't let me be the first. More than 50%. I'm
1:44:02
Speaker 2: going to up my number. This guy believes it's going
1:44:04
Speaker 2: to be 50% of people are going to do that.
1:44:08
Speaker 2: He says, are they going to turn the screen off
1:44:09
Speaker 2: and make it black? Don't know anything. We just got
1:44:11
Speaker 2: this as a news break, not even five seconds. I mean,
1:44:13
Speaker 2: literally during that last break, it popped up on my
1:44:15
Speaker 2: phone as an AP news break. And then Ross, of course,
1:44:17
Speaker 2: went and researched it and found it right there as well.
1:44:19
Speaker 2: Are you on the AP as well? On the APnews.com,
1:44:21
Speaker 2: it says right there, Pentagon says firing squad execution of
1:44:25
Speaker 2: Fort Hood shooter will be live streamed. That's our leaders.
1:44:30
Speaker 2: But I'm not– I wonder if it's actually going to happen.
1:44:33
Speaker 2: I wonder what kind of feedback politically could stop this.
1:44:37
Speaker 2: I mean obviously Republicans have– they're in charge of the
1:44:41
Speaker 2: White House. They're in charge of everything. Obviously they're in
1:44:44
Speaker 2: charge of the House and the Senate. And I don't
1:44:47
Speaker 2: know if there is a political mechanism where– Democrats, independents,
1:44:51
Speaker 2: whomever could put a fuss up and stop this. We
1:44:54
Speaker 2: were just talking about how there's no accountability.
1:44:56
Speaker 6: Yeah.
1:44:57
Speaker 2: So which one is it? Yeah, I don't know, buddy.
1:45:00
Speaker 2: It's this one. There is no accountability. This will happen.
1:45:03
Speaker 2: This will continue to happen. Do not know if it
1:45:05
Speaker 2: will happen. The only accountability happens on Election Day. And it's...
1:45:09
Speaker 2: And it's up to the people if they're going to
1:45:12
Speaker 2: hold people accountable. And if you keep voting people back
1:45:15
Speaker 2: into office, don't expect things to change. Do you think
1:45:18
Speaker 2: there's a lot of bloodlust that a part of America,
1:45:21
Speaker 2: like a part of America that may be a bigger
1:45:23
Speaker 2: percentage than you're ready to accept is going to be
1:45:25
Speaker 2: down for this? Jim, I just saw footage of people...
1:45:28
Speaker 2: celebrating the death of california yeah yeah yeah yeah how
1:45:32
Speaker 2: that's a small price to pay yeah 25 of our
1:45:36
Speaker 2: naval fleet is located in san diego and you know
1:45:39
Speaker 2: what let me throw this out here we didn't talk
1:45:41
Speaker 2: about that in the news segment and here's one reason
1:45:44
Speaker 2: why is because we're catering to our listeners and we're
1:45:47
Speaker 2: trying to protect them from the truth and the truth
1:45:49
Speaker 2: is This is scary times.
1:45:51
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
1:45:51
Speaker 2: Not trying to protect anybody from the truth, buddy. Yeah, no.
1:45:54
Speaker 2: Don't put those words into my mouth. Our job is
1:45:56
Speaker 2: not doing that. Our job is to entertain people. And
1:45:58
Speaker 2: our job, they can find their information elsewhere. We do
1:46:01
Speaker 2: pick and choose some topics we think are valid. Obviously,
1:46:03
Speaker 2: that's why I brought this up because I think it's valid.
1:46:06
Speaker 2: But that's not our job. Our job is to entertain people.
1:46:09
Speaker 2: But yeah.
1:46:09
Speaker 5: Well, even in the news.
1:46:10
Speaker 19: Yeah.
1:46:11
Speaker 5: No, I didn't keep it out for any reason.
1:46:14
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I just I see it. I know it.
1:46:17
Speaker 2: I see the game. I see the engine. But like
1:46:20
Speaker 2: none of this is even remotely like I can't. If
1:46:24
Speaker 2: we want to talk about this and you still want
1:46:26
Speaker 2: me to bring entertainment and jokes, then don't break this news.
1:46:30
Speaker 2: Because how are we supposed to make this funny? Are
1:46:32
Speaker 2: we news or entertainment? Well, we're a combination of those
1:46:35
Speaker 2: two for sure. But we don't necessarily pick stories not
1:46:39
Speaker 2: to talk about because of certain things, Ross. What we're
1:46:41
Speaker 2: trying to do is entertain people. And on your way home,
1:46:43
Speaker 2: 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Chances are that's the last
1:46:46
Speaker 2: thing you want to learn about or hear about. So
1:46:48
Speaker 2: we just try to keep people entertained as much as possible.
1:46:50
Speaker 2: I hope my reaction was a moment where no one
1:46:53
Speaker 2: touched the dial. Yeah, it's me being honest and I'm exhausted.
1:46:58
Speaker 2: This is so sad. This is so sad. How real quick.
1:47:03
Speaker 2: So a guy that I know is a supporter of
1:47:06
Speaker 2: this administration. Then we have conversations via the texting service
1:47:09
Speaker 2: and have had for years. regarding our differences in how
1:47:14
Speaker 2: we feel about this administration. And he just texts the show.
1:47:18
Speaker 2: Let me make sure I get this right. And I
1:47:21
Speaker 2: will tell you what I think about what he said,
1:47:23
Speaker 2: because I think what he said is a trope that
1:47:25
Speaker 2: kind of goes along with a lot of this stuff.
1:47:27
Speaker 2: It says, this is crazy. I got to think about it.
1:47:29
Speaker 2: Is it a warning to these insane Islamic terrorists running around?
1:47:32
Speaker 2: If so, it could be effective. It's not effective. They
1:47:34
Speaker 2: do not look at life like you do. You don't
1:47:36
Speaker 2: understand that. They do not look– everybody in that– well,
1:47:40
Speaker 2: I shouldn't say everybody. The extremists of that religion, they
1:47:45
Speaker 2: martyr themselves. So they don't really consider– they don't consider
1:47:50
Speaker 2: this a– a deterrent. It's not like that for them, dude.
1:47:55
Speaker 2: It doesn't work like that. You have to understand the
1:47:58
Speaker 2: barbaric nature of those people or any extremists for that nature.
1:48:03
Speaker 2: It doesn't work like that. When he fired the first shot,
1:48:05
Speaker 2: he was prepared to die for his cause.
1:48:07
Speaker 18: Yeah.
1:48:07
Speaker 11: Nobody.
1:48:08
Speaker 4: Yes.
1:48:08
Speaker 2: Nobody is going to look at this. No Islamic terrorist
1:48:11
Speaker 2: is going to go, Oh no, you know, you're there. Actually,
1:48:14
Speaker 2: you'd be cute and people on TV. We better not
1:48:16
Speaker 2: do that. No, not one's thinking about that. Matter of fact,
1:48:19
Speaker 2: that will got, that guy will go down as a
1:48:21
Speaker 2: legend when they kill him they will turn this guy
1:48:23
Speaker 2: into a martyr he could be celebrated he will be
1:48:27
Speaker 2: celebrated he will be celebrated when they execute this guy
1:48:30
Speaker 2: he will be celebrated it's sad And I think the
1:48:36
Speaker 2: percentage is going to be higher. I think more people
1:48:38
Speaker 2: are going to watch it than want to admit to
1:48:40
Speaker 2: watching it. But as a species, it's said that We
1:48:46
Speaker 2: enjoy this.
1:48:47
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
1:48:48
Speaker 2: But, I mean, we see it in lesser amounts, whether
1:48:51
Speaker 2: it comes to violence and other things that we choose
1:48:55
Speaker 2: and forms of entertainment that we go after. It's not surprising.
1:49:01
Speaker 2: It's just sad. And, by the way, another guy— I'm surprised.
1:49:04
Speaker 2: I'll be honest with you. I didn't think— As soon
1:49:06
Speaker 2: as I think, you know, you know, what's surprising that
1:49:10
Speaker 2: the the type of thinking that would be for this,
1:49:14
Speaker 2: we've elected to the highest levels of government. That's that's
1:49:18
Speaker 2: the problem.
1:49:20
Speaker 11: Yeah.
1:49:20
Speaker 2: And there are a faction of people will agree with it. Yeah. Yeah.
1:49:24
Speaker 2: This gentleman here, another guy I know that is a
1:49:26
Speaker 2: big supporter of the administration.
1:49:29
Speaker 1: Got it.
1:49:29
Speaker 2: Just it's coming in so fast now. Give me one second, guys.
1:49:34
Speaker 2: God almighty, they're coming in so fast. I can't find it. Well,
1:49:38
Speaker 2: it basically was saying kind of the same thing, like
1:49:40
Speaker 2: the deterrent thing. It's not a deterrent. It's not a deterrent.
1:49:44
Speaker 2: It's not. What is it then? Who is this for?
1:49:46
Speaker 2: It's a showcase. It's for the– Hegseth is doing this
1:49:49
Speaker 2: because he thinks he wants the country to see the
1:49:51
Speaker 2: repercussions of doing something like this. As if everybody or
1:49:56
Speaker 2: anybody had a question that would be paid back. They
1:50:01
Speaker 2: could execute him in a room, say he's dead, we've
1:50:03
Speaker 2: killed him. No different than we did with Osama bin Laden.
1:50:05
Speaker 2: No different than we did with any of the other
1:50:06
Speaker 2: people that we've killed because of their extremist natures and
1:50:09
Speaker 2: just have them be dead. live streaming is a really
1:50:13
Speaker 2: interesting choice. I'm very interested to see the blowback nationally
1:50:17
Speaker 2: tomorrow and throughout the night. There will be no consequence
1:50:20
Speaker 2: to this. I'm so tired of thinking that there's going
1:50:23
Speaker 2: to be a consequence to anything. The fact is you
1:50:26
Speaker 2: don't know that it's going to happen yet. These guys
1:50:27
Speaker 2: say stuff that never happens all the time, so we
1:50:29
Speaker 2: don't know. This is just a breaking statement from Pete Hegseth.
1:50:32
Speaker 2: These guys say stuff all the time, and it never
1:50:34
Speaker 2: comes to fruition. I'm interested to see how the.
1:50:39
Speaker 2: The machine will fight back against this if they will.
1:50:44
Speaker 2: Someone needs to repair the machine before it can fight back.
1:50:47
Speaker 5: Someone needs to just destroy the machine and start over again.
1:50:51
Speaker 4: 407-916-1041.
1:50:51
Speaker 2: Text us 77031. Load them up. It's trivia. We'll do
1:50:53
Speaker 2: that next.
1:50:54
Speaker 17: Administration that think this is a wonderful thing, that this
1:50:59
Speaker 17: is just one more thing that the Nazi regime of
1:51:03
Speaker 17: Germany did, along with state-controlled TV... and all the other
1:51:08
Speaker 17: stuff that's happened in the last two years. So you
1:51:11
Speaker 17: got what you voted for, and now we're all going
1:51:15
Speaker 17: to pay for it.
1:51:16
Speaker 2: Thanks a lot.
1:51:18
Speaker 18: I left a message about the capital punishment thing and
1:51:21
Speaker 18: how I just don't, I can't get behind it.
1:51:23
Speaker 5: It's just me. You know, I don't like it.
1:51:25
Speaker 18: But what I wanted to say is your contest, I
1:51:28
Speaker 18: think people, whether they admit it or not, they're going
1:51:31
Speaker 18: to tune in. I would really say that it would
1:51:33
Speaker 18: be like, 50%.
1:51:36
Speaker 5: That's crazy, but I think so.
1:51:38
Speaker 18: I think that it really would be that, whether people
1:51:41
Speaker 18: would say it out loud or not, because that's just
1:51:44
Speaker 18: the world.
1:51:46
Speaker 22: Hey guys, I'm not getting political because I'm not going
1:51:49
Speaker 22: to name one specific person, but how do we get
1:51:54
Speaker 22: to this point where we worship somebody other than God,
1:51:58
Speaker 22: and we really worship somebody.
1:52:01
Speaker 5: To the point that Nothing they do can be wrong.
1:52:05
Speaker 2: It's easy, buddy.
1:52:06
Speaker 22: No matter how much evil, how much harm they can
1:52:07
Speaker 22: do to thy neighbor, how do we get to the
1:52:10
Speaker 22: point where that's okay?
1:52:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, because the person in charge tells you it's okay.
1:52:15
Speaker 2: I tell you, he has all the answers. All those things.
1:52:22
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
1:52:23
Speaker 2: Also, going back to what that gentleman said, if you
1:52:25
Speaker 2: pay attention to the big picture, this started happening about
1:52:27
Speaker 2: a year and a half ago. He started firing solicitor generals.
1:52:31
Speaker 2: He started firing the oversight of all of the areas
1:52:36
Speaker 2: in the cabinet areas. That's another scary thing. Hexeth has
1:52:40
Speaker 2: also been firing all of generals and admirals who don't, quote,
1:52:44
Speaker 2: see eye to eye with him. That, by the way,
1:52:47
Speaker 2: is another. If you're rolling down the plan, If you're
1:52:50
Speaker 2: rolling down the plan of complete control, that's what you do.
1:52:53
Speaker 2: Your government has the people inside have to agree with
1:52:56
Speaker 2: your vision. If not, it will get stopped. And when
1:52:59
Speaker 2: you see the purging of generals and admirals out of
1:53:03
Speaker 2: our military, these are people who are absolutely loved and
1:53:06
Speaker 2: adored and respected by soldiers on both sides of the aisle.
1:53:11
Speaker 2: That is a bad sign. And that's been happening now
1:53:14
Speaker 2: for about a year and a half, actually, since these
1:53:16
Speaker 2: guys took office. They have been purging the government of
1:53:19
Speaker 2: people who they consider naysayers or people who aren't with
1:53:22
Speaker 2: the program. That's what you should be paying attention to
1:53:25
Speaker 2: as well. Because if something is going to happen, you
1:53:27
Speaker 2: can't have internal strife while it's going down. Everybody has
1:53:31
Speaker 2: to be on the same page.
1:53:32
Speaker 11: 407-916-1041.

1:56:27

Speaker 2: he quit smoking using hypnosis. Or lastly, he was raised
1:56:34

1:56:36
Speaker 4: I think the first one.
1:56:39
Speaker 2: That's the one, buddy. You're a winner. Put your own
1:56:42
Speaker 2: hole there. That is not true. He did not switch

1:56:48
Speaker 2: He did quit smoking using hypnosis, and he was, this
1:56:51
Speaker 2: is the craziest one, he was raised in a six-family
1:56:54
Speaker 2: communal house. I thought that was fake. I'd never heard
1:56:57
Speaker 2: that before. Six families all living in one house. Yeah.
1:57:00
Speaker 2: A couple other things before we get to the top
1:57:01
Speaker 2: of the hour, get some raw thoughts coming your way.
1:57:03
Speaker 2: In 2007, he was voted best bang for the buck,
1:57:07
Speaker 2: earning how much per every dollar that he got paid?
1:57:11
Speaker 2: Like his movies did? Yeah, okay, so every dollar they
1:57:14
Speaker 2: paid him, he earned this much more. It's a ratio.
1:57:18
Speaker 2: One for... Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:57:21
Speaker 9: Three.
1:57:22
Speaker 2: It's kind of hard, right?. 7? I don't know what.
1:57:26
Speaker 2: 27 bucks. So for every dollar they paid him, he
1:57:29
Speaker 2: earned the studio $ 27. Right.
1:57:30
Speaker 5: Oh, nice.
1:57:31
Speaker 2: That is an incredible return on your investment. His breakout
1:57:35
Speaker 2: movie and script, which is Good Will Hunting, started as
1:57:39
Speaker 2: a story for a class at Harvard. In other words,
1:57:42
Speaker 2: his movie that made him a superstar was a class project.
1:57:46
Speaker 2: that he turned into a major motion picture. Bet he
1:57:48
Speaker 2: got an A. And then lastly here, he and buddy
1:57:51
Speaker 2: Ben Affleck have been best friends since they were in
1:57:53
Speaker 2: third grade. They were also extras in the movie A
1:57:57
Speaker 2: Field of Dreams together. That's cool. Yeah, there you go.
1:58:00
Speaker 2: All right, thoughts? Yeah, I have a PSA that I
1:58:04
Speaker 2: wish I would have heard when I was 22, and
1:58:06
Speaker 2: it has everything about to do with one word. All right.
1:58:12
Speaker 2: I have advice. If you struggle with like socially, this
1:58:15
Speaker 2: is not a miss segment. Do not miss this segment.
1:58:19
Speaker 2: I really wish someone told me one thing about questions
1:58:23
Speaker 2: when I was younger. Got it. And Jim, something we
1:58:26
Speaker 2: wanted to mention earlier and something because of the weather
1:58:29
Speaker 2: and our friends in Mount Dora. There's an event happening
1:58:32
Speaker 2: tonight that they moved to the Mount Dora Music Hall.

Speaker 2: Mount Dora Music Hall. This is a free music event,
1:58:43
Speaker 2: but they have a whole beer setup as well. But
1:58:45
Speaker 2: the whole event was supposed to be outside. Now it's
1:58:47
Speaker 2: moved inside the Mount Dora Music Hall. So if you're
1:58:50
Speaker 2: planning on going to that, no, it's still a free event,
1:58:52

Speaker 2: In this case, I.
1:59:51
Speaker 7: Almost always agree with it, but I think you need
1:59:53
Speaker 7: to stand down.
1:59:54
Speaker 15: From this one.
1:59:57
Speaker 7: It's not a moral majority question. It just is, and
2:00:01
Speaker 7: it's got to be addressed. Chances are it's going to happen.
2:00:05
Speaker 7: Get over it and move on. Love you guys.
2:00:07
Speaker 2: See you later.
2:00:09

2:01:08
Speaker 2: Thank you, Leon.
2:01:09
Speaker 5: Yeah, thank you.
2:01:11
Speaker 2: So this is like, I don't know, I kind of...
2:01:15
Speaker 2: I want to change my career. I don't even know
2:01:17
Speaker 2: if I really have a career, but I want to
2:01:20
Speaker 2: change my trajectory, and I don't see anybody else dominating
2:01:25
Speaker 2: this market. Oh, what do you got? You ready? You
2:01:28
Speaker 2: found an open lane? I think I found an open lane.
2:01:30
Speaker 8: I love it.
2:01:31
Speaker 2: I want to be an angel investor already. I don't
2:01:32
Speaker 2: even know what it is. And I'm pretty confident about this.
2:01:36
Speaker 2: I want to be Hitch, but not for dates. Okay,
2:01:41
Speaker 2: so Hitch is the character that Will Smith played in
2:01:44
Speaker 2: the movie with the dude who was Paul Blart. Kevin James.
2:01:47
Speaker 2: Kevin James. He was a matchmaker, right? You never forget
2:01:50
Speaker 2: Paul Blart. He was a matchmaker. And actually, can I
2:01:52
Speaker 2: tell you, it was a really good movie. Yeah, it was.
2:01:54
Speaker 2: Eva Mendes, who's beautiful, she was in it.
2:01:56
Speaker 28: Stunning.
2:01:57
Speaker 13: Yeah.
2:01:57
Speaker 2: He was a matchmaker. He's the matchmaker. Kind of like
2:01:59
Speaker 2: a serial diversion act type thing. But I think there's
2:02:03
Speaker 2: a lot of people that may not struggle necessarily dating,
2:02:06
Speaker 2: but you put them in a room full of strangers
2:02:09
Speaker 2: at a bar. They freeze solid. And then they don't know,
2:02:11
Speaker 2: what do I talk about? What do I do? Where
2:02:13
Speaker 2: do I even begin? Where do I put my hands? Right, yeah, yeah, yeah.
2:02:16
Speaker 2: I got some confidence in this department. This is where
2:02:19
Speaker 2: I thrive. That's where I'm in my element. You have confidence.
2:02:23
Speaker 2: Some might even say you have too much confidence. It's
2:02:26
Speaker 2: to a fault. A lot of people don't like me.
2:02:28
Speaker 2: Play that talk back again. But you do quite well
2:02:32
Speaker 2: in mixed company. I love that element. That's my nature.
2:02:37
Speaker 2: And there's one thing that in hindsight that I wish
2:02:40
Speaker 2: someone would have told me about that environment when you
2:02:44
Speaker 2: are not a fish out of water, but you're just
2:02:46
Speaker 2: fish with other fish that you've never fished before. Got it.
2:02:51
Speaker 8: Right?
2:02:51
Speaker 4: Yeah.
2:02:52
Speaker 2: That's not... Okay, let's finish. I'm losing confidence. We can
2:02:57
Speaker 2: feel it. But it's this. I always thought... Finish this sentence.
2:03:02
Speaker 2: There are no dumb questions. You guys are true? Yes.
2:03:06
Speaker 2: The follow-up is there's only dumb people who ask them. Right?
2:03:10
Speaker 2: Thank you, Jack. I guess I stopped paying attention after
2:03:14
Speaker 2: the first part. Because I lived my entire life thinking
2:03:18
Speaker 2: that there are no dumb questions. Let me ask you
2:03:21
Speaker 2: guys that. Are there dumb questions? Yes, there are dumb questions. Yes,
2:03:26
Speaker 2: there are dumb questions.
2:03:27
Speaker 13: No.
2:03:29
Speaker 2: I'm team yes. I'm team yes, there are dumb questions.
2:03:32
Speaker 2: And the only reason why is because I have asked
2:03:36
Speaker 2: dumb questions.
2:03:37
Speaker 11: Yeah.
2:03:37
Speaker 2: And I can see people's face just grow so disappointed
2:03:42
Speaker 2: in finding out that that's where my standard of IQ is. Yeah,
2:03:45
Speaker 2: you don't know.
2:03:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
2:03:46
Speaker 2: So I remember being filled with questions, always wanting to ask,
2:03:52
Speaker 2: and to the point where I'm a confirmer. If someone
2:03:55
Speaker 2: has the answer and I'm 90% sure I will, I
2:03:59
Speaker 2: tend to ask the easy question to make sure that 90%
2:04:02
Speaker 2: is up to a hundred percent. But, There are some scenarios,
2:04:07
Speaker 2: and this is people who are socially inept. This is
2:04:10
Speaker 2: when you need to listen up. There are some scenarios
2:04:13
Speaker 2: where that 10% extra boost is worth 100% of the
2:04:18
Speaker 2: damage that you will have remaining with that experience with
2:04:22
Speaker 2: that person. Okay. So here's an example. Yeah, please. Here's
2:04:26
Speaker 2: a dumb question that I asked four years ago, and
2:04:29
Speaker 2: it's the first thing I think of every morning I
2:04:31
Speaker 2: wake up. Wow. It haunts me. It haunts me to
2:04:35
Speaker 2: this day. I have a wonderful family. I have a
2:04:39
Speaker 2: wonderful aunt. My aunt Jan is awesome. She's a baller. Yeah, yeah.
2:04:44
Speaker 2: She is a baller. She is a boss, a literal boss.
2:04:48
Speaker 2: She runs a company very successfully. She's amazing. And I
2:04:52
Speaker 2: remember when I just got my car and I was
2:04:54
Speaker 2: so pumped and she was in the car and I'm
2:04:56
Speaker 2: showing off the car. And to her, I'm basically showing
2:04:59
Speaker 2: her like Hot Wheels. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a Honda Accord.
2:05:05
Speaker 2: The whole time she's going, this is adorbs. Yeah, that
2:05:07
Speaker 2: I'm like really, really proud of. And then I pull
2:05:10
Speaker 2: out my sun protector.
2:05:12
Speaker 8: Right?
2:05:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, you put it up there.
2:05:13
Speaker 5: Yeah, the windshield thing.
2:05:15
Speaker 2: I've never been one of those people. Yeah? Because I've
2:05:17
Speaker 2: never had anything really that I wanted to protect. Every
2:05:21
Speaker 2: car previously, I had no passion for. It got me
2:05:24
Speaker 2: from A to B. You let the windows down all
2:05:26
Speaker 2: the time? Yeah, yeah. And it smelled like old death. Yeah.
2:05:30
Speaker 2: It was like musty grundle.
2:05:33
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah.
2:05:35
Speaker 2: That's a scent.
2:05:36
Speaker 13: Yeah.
2:05:36
Speaker 2: That's a garbage pail kid. That's from Garbage Sauvage. I
2:05:43
Speaker 2: asked when I grabbed the sun protector, I've never, this
2:05:45
Speaker 2: is like my third time ever using it. And I
2:05:47
Speaker 2: go shiny side out, right? I go shiny side out, right?
2:05:54
Speaker 2: As I grabbed the sun protector to put it on
2:05:56
Speaker 2: top of my dash. And I look at my aunt
2:05:59
Speaker 2: and I asked her that question. And I said, shiny,
2:06:03
Speaker 2: shiny side out, right? I knew the answer to that question.
2:06:08
Speaker 2: I'm even saying the answer as I'm asking it. The
2:06:12
Speaker 2: level of disappointment.
2:06:16
Speaker 11: Oh!
2:06:16
Speaker 2: That she gave... And it wasn't vocal. Yeah, it doesn't have...
2:06:19
Speaker 2: Matter of fact, that's worse. It's worse if they don't
2:06:22
Speaker 2: say anything.
2:06:23
Speaker 5: It was.
2:06:23
Speaker 2: I saw her face. It was half disappointment and also half... Confusion.
2:06:28
Speaker 2: Let me recalibrate. Because I thought we were above this.
2:06:33
Speaker 2: You know, like, I thought he would know the shiny side, yeah,
2:06:37
Speaker 2: faces the sun. Because she's saying to herself, even I
2:06:41
Speaker 2: know that.
2:06:42
Speaker 17: Like.
2:06:42
Speaker 2: And she gets driven around. And like a third grader
2:06:45
Speaker 2: would know that. So I have asked these questions. And
2:06:48
Speaker 2: here's one thing that not a lot of people know
2:06:50
Speaker 2: about asking questions. When you ask a question, you are
2:06:55
Speaker 2: saying a definitive sentence as well. Hey, I don't know this.
2:07:01
Speaker 5: Right.
2:07:01
Speaker 15: Right.
2:07:02
Speaker 2: Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And most people walk up to
2:07:04
Speaker 2: a question not knowing the social implications of that.
2:07:08
Speaker 7: Right.
2:07:08
Speaker 2: So if I walk up to your kid, I go,
2:07:10
Speaker 2: boy or girl. Oh, yeah, that's not... That's a bad...
2:07:14
Speaker 2: That's a dumb question. That's a terrible question. Not only
2:07:17
Speaker 2: are you socially unaware of the inflammatory nature of that question,
2:07:22
Speaker 2: you're not even picking up on how rude that is
2:07:27
Speaker 2: to ask a gender of a child.
2:07:30
Speaker 15: Like, there are.
2:07:31
Speaker 2: The reason why I felt it was so important to
2:07:33
Speaker 2: talk about this on this week's episode of Good Sauce
2:07:36
Speaker 2: with Ross and Joel and right now is that no
2:07:39
Speaker 2: one ever told me this. No one ever told me
2:07:41
Speaker 2: that questions could do irreparable damage. Yeah. Because it really can. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
2:07:48
Speaker 2: Every guy knows the don't ask a woman if she's pregnant, right? Yeah, yeah.
2:07:53
Speaker 2: You never do that. I learned that the hard way. See,
2:07:56
Speaker 2: I'm not the only one guilty of a dumb question.
2:07:58
Speaker 2: That time, it was a dumb question. Here's my dumb question.
2:08:03
Speaker 2: It's three words, and this is one of the most
2:08:06
Speaker 2: awful experiences I've ever had. Met somebody in a business
2:08:10
Speaker 2: setting and asked, when you're due. I asked a woman
2:08:14
Speaker 2: when she was due. What do you think made it
2:08:18
Speaker 2: more uncomfortable than the question? Her answer was, do for what?
2:08:23
Speaker 2: So she fought fire with fire with a three-word response.
2:08:27
Speaker 2: And I'm telling you, I did not know what to do, dude,
2:08:32
Speaker 2: because there's no way out. I just started apologizing. I said,
2:08:37
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. And then I ran
2:08:41
Speaker 2: so far away. At least you didn't. so far away.
2:08:45
Speaker 2: At least you didn't try to make up your mortgage.
2:08:49
Speaker 26: Your bills.
2:08:50
Speaker 2: I think it would have looked worse if I tried
2:08:52
Speaker 2: to just lie my way out of it. Rather than
2:08:54
Speaker 2: just go, look, I am so sorry. I am so sorry. So, run.
2:08:58
Speaker 2: Your Ross thoughts isn't just Ross thoughts today. It's Ross advice.
2:09:03
Speaker 2: Because not a lot of people know this, and I
2:09:04
Speaker 2: have touched this hot stove so many times. Jim had
2:09:07
Speaker 2: a nuclear event when it comes to not having someone say, hey,
2:09:13
Speaker 2: there are questions, there are times to ask questions, and
2:09:16
Speaker 2: there are also times to understand what your question is
2:09:19
Speaker 2: also saying.
2:09:20
Speaker 12: Oh, yeah.
2:09:21
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. So, like, right? I've got a chance of being, like,
2:09:24
Speaker 2: the itch for incels. Dude, I think you can do that.
2:09:29
Speaker 2: He's an incel itch.
2:09:30
Speaker 17: Yeah.
2:09:31
Speaker 2: I got to work on the website. Yeah, what's that
2:09:35
Speaker 2: going to look like? What's that landing page?
2:09:37
Speaker 10: It's.
2:09:37
Speaker 26: Org.
2:09:38
Speaker 2: It's a nonprofit. It's going to have to be. Those
2:09:41
Speaker 2: are your Ross thoughts brought to you by Mills Air.
2:09:44
Speaker 2: I'm out. Peace. All right, 407-916-1041. Text us. 77031. Your

2:09:55
Speaker 2: a sec.
2:10:01
Speaker 13: Okay, so sorry for the rain. It is mini-hurricaning in
2:10:04
Speaker 13: Melbourne right now. But when you guys mention Paul Blart,
2:10:07
Speaker 13: that always gets me excited because I grew up in Billerica, Massachusetts.
2:10:10
Speaker 13: They filmed the movie Paul Blart Mall Cop in the
2:10:13
Speaker 13: Burlington Mall, the town next to my hometown. And me
2:10:17
Speaker 13: and my friend spent so much time in that mall
2:10:19
Speaker 13: while they were filming the movie and it was still
2:10:20
Speaker 13: open to maybe get an extra shot. Still not sure,
2:10:24
Speaker 13: but that is just a cool little fact I have
2:10:26
Speaker 13: with my life. And yeah, fun stuff.
2:10:29
Speaker 2: Big T out. Yeah, I've been lucky enough to stumble
2:10:34
Speaker 2: onto a movie set back in the day when they
2:10:35
Speaker 2: filmed Parenthood here in Orlando with Steve Martin and Keanu
2:10:40
Speaker 2: Reeves and Martha Plimpton. Who was the older guy, Jack,
2:10:44
Speaker 2: that was in that movie? Jason Robards? Yeah, Jason Robards,
2:10:47
Speaker 2: another legend in Hollywood. They filmed that out all through Orlando,
2:10:51
Speaker 2: out there in Bithlow and then College Park. They got
2:10:53
Speaker 2: a house. And it just so happened my dad's bread
2:10:56
Speaker 2: shop at the time was right around the corner. So
2:10:57
Speaker 2: during my lunch breaks, I would go and get food
2:10:59
Speaker 2: and I would sit in my car across the street
2:11:02
Speaker 2: and watch them film this movie. And specifically, I remember
2:11:05
Speaker 2: the scene and there's a kid and Jason Robards is
2:11:10
Speaker 2: on the front porch of this of this house on
2:11:12
Speaker 2: a swing. With a little fake play car, like a
2:11:17
Speaker 2: soapbox derby car kind of thing, or one of the
2:11:19
Speaker 2: little ones. And he was just kind of playing with it,
2:11:21
Speaker 2: and that was the scene that I saw filmed the most.
2:11:23
Speaker 2: Everything else was inside. But just looking at the massive
2:11:27
Speaker 2: production that is making a movie at any level. And,
2:11:29
Speaker 2: of course, this is a Ron Howard production, so it
2:11:32
Speaker 2: would have been a major production with major movie stars.
2:11:35
Speaker 2: And it was just really cool. There was a lot
2:11:37
Speaker 2: going on around that little house to get those tiny
2:11:39
Speaker 2: scenes inside filmed. I've never seen that movie.
2:11:42
Speaker 12: Oh, really?
2:11:42
Speaker 8: Yeah.
2:11:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's good. Paul Blart?
2:11:44
Speaker 12: No.
2:11:45
Speaker 2: It's timeless. Or that one either. I have not seen
2:11:49
Speaker 2: Paul Blart. I've only seen pieces of it.
2:11:51
Speaker 8: Man.
2:11:52
Speaker 2: How do you beat an overweight security guard on a Segway?
2:11:54
Speaker 2: On a Segway, you can't beat it, man. You can't
2:11:55
Speaker 2: do it, dude. That's a modern-day centaur right there.
2:11:58
Speaker 6: Yeah.
2:11:58
Speaker 2: But I think Hitch was great, dude. Hitch was a
2:12:00
Speaker 2: really funny movie.
2:12:01
Speaker 11: It was.
2:12:02
Speaker 2: It was good. You had the whole bee incident.
2:12:06
Speaker 10: Oh, yeah.
2:12:06
Speaker 2: And his face. It was just enough stuff to happen
2:12:09
Speaker 2: where it was that kind of believable and fun. And
2:12:11
Speaker 2: I thought he played the role quite well, Will Smith.
2:12:13
Speaker 2: I think they actually both did a good job. There's
2:12:15
Speaker 2: going to be so many movies that you look back
2:12:17
Speaker 2: on in like 50 years from now, right? When we
2:12:21
Speaker 2: look back at movies 50 years from now in 2026,
2:12:25
Speaker 2: just like seeing Paul Blart, he looked at it as like, yeah,
2:12:29
Speaker 2: this came out 50 years ago. This is what the
2:12:31
Speaker 2: world was like. And Paul Blart is going to be
2:12:34
Speaker 2: somewhat of a good mirror to tell you what 2009
2:12:39
Speaker 2: was or whatever it was. It's funny because I think
2:12:42
Speaker 2: the opposite of that, by the way, I think it's
2:12:43
Speaker 2: interesting when you go back and watch a movie that's
2:12:45
Speaker 2: supposed to be the future. Yeah. If you haven't watched
2:12:48
Speaker 2: Blade Runner, the 82 version of Blade Runner, and they're like,
2:12:51
Speaker 2: it's supposed to be, I think that movie is supposed
2:12:53
Speaker 2: to be like an... it's supposed to go forward like
2:12:55
Speaker 2: the 2057 or 2157 or something like that. And you
2:12:58
Speaker 2: see that like, even with running man, you mentioned that earlier.
2:13:01
Speaker 5: Yeah.
2:13:02
Speaker 2: Like, I mean, that's another one that like you, it
2:13:03
Speaker 2: was made in the eighties and it was supposed to
2:13:05
Speaker 2: like for, for see the future. And you're like, damn, uh, I, I,
2:13:10
Speaker 2: If you want to know, I think the spookiest movie.
2:13:13
Speaker 2: And as I get older, it kind of tells the future.
2:13:15
Speaker 2: I'm starting to think that, yeah, this is the goat.
2:13:18
Speaker 2: This is the greatest movie of all time. Idiocracy. It
2:13:22
Speaker 2: is 2001, A Space Odyssey. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's
2:13:25
Speaker 2: another really good one.
2:13:27
Speaker 4: How?
2:13:28
Speaker 27: How? How?
2:13:30
Speaker 2: First and foremost, how did you film that in 68?
2:13:33
Speaker 11: Yeah.
2:13:34
Speaker 2: Everything holds up. There's not a frame that is special effects.
2:13:39
Speaker 2: It's all in camera, so everything still works. The message
2:13:43
Speaker 2: is hard. There's another movie like that called THX 1138,
2:13:47
Speaker 2: which James Caan, I think, was in that movie. And
2:13:49
Speaker 2: it's another one of those kind of things where, yeah,
2:13:51
Speaker 2: every time I think of 2001, A Space Odyssey, I
2:13:54
Speaker 2: get goosebumps and it freaks me out. Well, even the movie,
2:13:58
Speaker 2: is it Eagle Eye? With Shia LaBeouf and– Good get, yeah. Yeah,
2:14:03
Speaker 2: that's another one, right? What the hell? It's like because
2:14:06
Speaker 2: isn't the whole idea they have to shut down this
2:14:09
Speaker 2: all-seeing eye computer like what now we would know as AI,
2:14:12
Speaker 2: but it's a central thing and they're trying to get
2:14:16
Speaker 2: in there to shut it down? Shia LaBeouf and I
2:14:18
Speaker 2: think Will Smith again, isn't it? And like the whole–
2:14:20
Speaker 2: what's Hal's famous line of dialogue of like, I can't
2:14:24
Speaker 2: do that? I have to protect the mission. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
2:14:27
Speaker 2: And it's like, damn, I think we're pulling down that cul-de-sac.
2:14:31
Speaker 2: Who was that voice, Debra? Do you remember that?
2:14:33
Speaker 5: Oh, no.
2:14:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, that voice was like a famous voice actor, wasn't it?
2:14:36
Speaker 8: Was it?
2:14:37
Speaker 6: For Hal?
2:14:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I didn't remember that. Close the pod
2:14:40
Speaker 2: bay doors, Hal. Sorry, can't do that. Sorry, Dave. Sorry, Dave.
2:14:44
Speaker 2: Don't do that.
2:14:45
Speaker 7: Yeah.
2:14:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really hard, and it's not my favorite movie.
2:14:49
Speaker 2: I just think that movie is so profound. Yeah, the
2:14:52
Speaker 2: opening of that movie, though, was crazy, crazy good. I
2:14:55
Speaker 2: always like how they got the name Hal. Yeah, yeah. Oh,
2:15:00
Speaker 2: it's an acronym. Well, it's based off of an acronym.
2:15:04
Speaker 2: The acronym was IBM. They took one letter over from I,
2:15:08
Speaker 2: from B, and from M. I did not know that.
2:15:12
Speaker 2: Jack with the figment of the day. I did not
2:15:16
Speaker 2: know that. That's crazy. Space Odyssey, that's 68, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
2:15:21
Speaker 2: Something like that. That's eight years before Star Wars.
2:15:25
Speaker 4: Yeah.
2:15:26
Speaker 2: Canadian actor Douglas Rain provided the iconic voice of the
2:15:30
Speaker 2: HAL 9000. For some reason, I thought it was somebody else. Yeah,
2:15:32
Speaker 2: that's crazy, man. That was a crazy movie. And then
2:15:34
Speaker 2: what was the Will Robinson? What franchise was that? Lost
2:15:40
Speaker 2: in Space. Danger, Will Robinson.
2:15:42
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah.
2:15:42
Speaker 2: Danger, Danger. Yeah, we had a lot of that. We
2:15:45
Speaker 2: had Battlestar Galactica and stuff when we were kids. But
2:15:47
Speaker 2: that was almost like video game stuff. I'm talking about
2:15:50
Speaker 2: stuff where you watch it and it was made in
2:15:52
Speaker 2: the 60s and 70s. And you look today and you're like, oh!
2:15:55
Speaker 10: Danger!
2:15:56
Speaker 2: There he is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The iRobot movie? I mean,
2:16:02
Speaker 2: if you think about the whole idea of iRobot, we
2:16:04
Speaker 2: build robots to make our lives easier. We are on
2:16:06
Speaker 2: the cusp of that now with AI and robotics, right?
2:16:09
Speaker 2: That's kind of what we're working toward. Just saw a
2:16:11
Speaker 2: robot on a podcast. Yeah, we saw robots doing flips,
2:16:14
Speaker 2: walking dogs, doing karate, dancing, running up hills. I mean,
2:16:19
Speaker 2: it's bananas, dude. There's one robot video that I just
2:16:23
Speaker 2: saw that made me go like that. This doesn't even
2:16:25
Speaker 2: make sense. It was them running, and it was them
2:16:28
Speaker 2: running bipedal with two legs. And to me, I'm like,
2:16:33
Speaker 2: what happened to wheels and robots? Why make them run?
2:16:36
Speaker 2: The MMA one where the dude kicks the thing in
2:16:38
Speaker 2: the chest, like the 300 kick, and the thing just
2:16:42
Speaker 2: stumbles back a little bit and just gets right back
2:16:44
Speaker 2: into fighting position because the gyro that's in his body
2:16:47
Speaker 2: won't let him fall down because he just has perfect balance.
2:16:50
Speaker 2: It's crazy, dude. But I mean, iRobot is the idea
2:16:54
Speaker 2: of us trying to make our lives better with technology,
2:16:57
Speaker 2: and of course that technology turning on us and becoming rogue. Yeah,
2:17:01
Speaker 2: and then it tells us to... You're.
2:17:02
Speaker 3: Wasting our time, Earth creature.
2:17:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then one becomes sentient, right? That's the whole
2:17:06
Speaker 2: idea of the movie. Yeah, Sonny. Yeah, Sonny, that's right.
2:17:09
Speaker 2: Sonny has dreams. That's right. And also the premise of
2:17:12
Speaker 2: that movie and what drives Will Smith's character is a
2:17:16
Speaker 2: perfect debate. Because essentially, the robot has to choose between
2:17:21
Speaker 2: the highest chance of life, and it's between Will Smith
2:17:24
Speaker 2: and a child. Right, yeah. And the robot goes, this
2:17:27
Speaker 2: is an easy layup. I have to go with Will Smith.
2:17:29
Speaker 13: Right, yeah.
2:17:30
Speaker 2: Not word for word what the robot thought. But that's
2:17:32
Speaker 2: basically what it is. it was. Robot had to make
2:17:34
Speaker 2: Sophie's choice. Yes, and the robot chose the adult over
2:17:37
Speaker 2: the child, and then Will Smith's character was so anti-robot,
2:17:40
Speaker 2: but that is the argument that we are at right now. Yeah, yeah.
2:17:45
Speaker 2: What what choice would the robot make what what would
2:17:48
Speaker 2: you make and also is like if you give the
2:17:50
Speaker 2: keys to society to prevent a lot more crime but
2:17:54
Speaker 2: everyone has to be surveilled what say us yeah yeah
2:17:57
Speaker 2: There's another movie called Enemy. It's a perfect debate. I
2:18:03
Speaker 2: don't have the answers. I know how I feel about
2:18:06
Speaker 2: on that spectrum. But the funny thing is, is we
2:18:09
Speaker 2: can separate the fantasy, right? Because we can watch the
2:18:11
Speaker 2: movie and go, oh, that's cute. But the visceral reaction
2:18:15
Speaker 2: nationally for us to the flock camera shows you. that
2:18:18
Speaker 2: we really don't want that kind of surveillance. We really
2:18:20
Speaker 2: don't want everybody knowing everywhere we go, everything we do,
2:18:24
Speaker 2: because it is one of the most, I mean, you're
2:18:25
Speaker 2: talking about the hottest of hot topics. The flock camera
2:18:29
Speaker 2: thing is destroying like city council meetings all across the U.S.
2:18:33
Speaker 2: I got on a run the other day where I
2:18:35
Speaker 2: just got this, you know, I watched one of these
2:18:37
Speaker 2: city council meetings where people are just lined up to
2:18:40
Speaker 2: talk about flock cameras. And it just broke out in
2:18:42
Speaker 2: a mayhem, right? The council tried to shut it all
2:18:44
Speaker 2: down because they were tired of hearing it. And then
2:18:47
Speaker 2: I flipped to the next video. It's another one from Iowa.
2:18:50
Speaker 2: Next video, one from Seattle. Next video, one from California.
2:18:53
Speaker 2: It was just like one after the other. Oh, the
2:18:55
Speaker 2: city council's tired of hearing about it, huh? Yeah, that's true. Dude,
2:18:58
Speaker 2: there was one today. I was watching it on the
2:19:00
Speaker 2: way into work today or listening to it. And it
2:19:02
Speaker 2: was a guy shutting down somebody who was making a
2:19:06
Speaker 2: complaint about the surveillance. And the guy, the city council member,
2:19:09
Speaker 2: just basically said, okay, your time's up. And he goes,
2:19:11
Speaker 2: he's been talking 30 seconds. And then the council started
2:19:14
Speaker 2: fighting with each other because the guy didn't want to
2:19:16
Speaker 2: hear it because he approved them.
2:19:17
Speaker 11: Yeah.
2:19:18
Speaker 2: So they were coming at him for approving him, and
2:19:20
Speaker 2: the guy didn't want to hear it. So he just
2:19:22
Speaker 2: shut the entire meeting down. And then other council members
2:19:24
Speaker 2: who were not fans of that dude, they started getting
2:19:27
Speaker 2: into it. And this is happening everywhere in the U.S.
2:19:29
Speaker 2: And those meetings, that's where the public has the opportunity
2:19:32
Speaker 2: to speak directly to the council. Well, that's why they
2:19:34
Speaker 2: come to him. This one guy said he got up
2:19:36
Speaker 2: there and they tried to shut him down. He goes,
2:19:38
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter if you shut me down. I'm going
2:19:39
Speaker 2: to be at the next one and the next one
2:19:40
Speaker 2: and the next one and the next one. He's just
2:19:43
Speaker 2: got to let this guy know we're never going away.
2:19:45
Speaker 2: I'm like a gremlin, dude. I shower and I multiply.
2:19:48
Speaker 13: Yeah.
2:19:49
Speaker 2: There's a bunch of us. We've scheduled this out until 2028.
2:19:51
Speaker 2: Have you ever been to a city council meeting or
2:19:53
Speaker 2: made your voice heard or anything like that? I have not. Yeah,
2:19:56
Speaker 2: I haven't either. I've written letters, but I've never been
2:19:58
Speaker 2: to a meeting before. Jack, you have, haven't you? No,
2:20:00
Speaker 2: I've wanted to go. I went to one. I had
2:20:02
Speaker 2: to take off work. And that's the thing is, I've
2:20:04
Speaker 2: always wanted to go, and they always start at 7 o'clock. Oh, yeah. Also,
2:20:10
Speaker 2: I would regret not bringing up Back to the Future
2:20:13
Speaker 2: for the original question of like when they talk about
2:20:15
Speaker 2: the future and movies from back in the day. Yeah.
2:20:19
Speaker 2: Back to the Future kind of has a long laundry
2:20:21
Speaker 2: list of absolutely nailing it.
2:20:23
Speaker 9: Yeah.
2:20:24
Speaker 2: From FaceTime. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. The food that they're eating. Like,
2:20:28
Speaker 2: there's the Cubs winning. They were like a year or
2:20:32
Speaker 2: two off. Between them, Star Trek, and The Simpsons. Oh, God, man.
2:20:37
Speaker 2: Those three shows. Yeah, Back to the Future has some
2:20:40
Speaker 2: pretty scary, like, how do you guys call that? And
2:20:43
Speaker 2: even though we watch on television and movies, people travel
2:20:46
Speaker 2: in and out of space. We understand that, like, how
2:20:47
Speaker 2: they travel through space is pretty much no, I mean,
2:20:50
Speaker 2: it doesn't work. But, I mean, we just had yesterday.
2:20:52
Speaker 2: Was it today or yesterday, Debra, when the crew landed?
2:20:54
Speaker 5: It was today.
2:20:55
Speaker 2: It was today. Today, a crew came back from a
2:20:58
Speaker 2: space station that's been orbiting the Earth for eight months.
2:21:00
Speaker 2: Is that what it was?
2:21:00
Speaker 18: Yep.
2:21:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, man. I mean, would you have thought in the
2:21:04
Speaker 2: 60s that we would have people living in space for months?
2:21:07
Speaker 2: and then just be able to kind of fly up
2:21:08
Speaker 2: there and fly back down. I mean, I think that's
2:21:11
Speaker 2: pretty incredible. I mean, I know we could go in orbit, but,
2:21:14
Speaker 2: I mean, you look at what's happening. We're just kind
2:21:16
Speaker 2: of flying up there. We have rockets that go off
2:21:17
Speaker 2: every other day. I'm trying to think of, like, what
2:21:20
Speaker 2: other sci-fi movies just, like, put such a weird thought
2:21:26
Speaker 2: in our brain, and now they're, like, on the way.
2:21:27
Speaker 2: I really hope The Matrix isn't right. Yeah, yeah.
2:21:30
Speaker 8: I think.
2:21:30
Speaker 5: Alien because it showed what governments are willing to do
2:21:33
Speaker 5: to get back, you know, bioweapons that, you know, they
2:21:36
Speaker 5: want their hands on first and they'll sacrifice anyone in
2:21:39
Speaker 5: order to get it.
2:21:40
Speaker 2: Dude, I was not expecting Alien and more importantly, wasn't
2:21:43
Speaker 2: expecting it to make complete total sense. You nailed it.
2:21:47
Speaker 11: You're right.
2:21:48
Speaker 2: It plays off the whole hell thing, right?
2:21:49
Speaker 5: That the mission, what they've been sent to do is
2:21:52
Speaker 5: more important than the human crew. So the android with
2:21:56
Speaker 5: the alien seemingly looks human, hangs out with the crew.
2:22:00
Speaker 5: But when the crew needs to put their human life
2:22:03
Speaker 5: above the alien, they realize, no, you're expendable. That creature
2:22:08
Speaker 5: is not. Your government wants that creature.
2:22:10
Speaker 12: Wow.
2:22:10
Speaker 2: That's why I like Project Hail Mary because it was
2:22:12
Speaker 2: about saving people. Yeah, yeah. Signs.
2:22:16
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah.
2:22:17
Speaker 2: That movie is a little wild, too. Terminator. This is–
2:22:21
Speaker 2: The hottest you've ever listened to. That was awesome. That
2:22:24
Speaker 2: was so good. You breaking down an alien like that?
2:22:26
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
2:22:27
Speaker 5: Because that's what makes it scary. It's not the creature
2:22:30
Speaker 5: that's scary. It's the fact that there's no one around
2:22:33
Speaker 5: that's going to save you because what that creature represents
2:22:36
Speaker 5: to your home planet is more important than you will
2:22:39
Speaker 5: ever be. And that's that's sad.
2:22:41
Speaker 2: That's right. Right. The infestation of that would destroy our planet. Well,
2:22:44
Speaker 2: I mean, that was the whole game. If you're weaponizing it,
2:22:47
Speaker 2: then that weapon, which is kind of goes back to
2:22:50
Speaker 2: the whole idea of like now they're releasing all these
2:22:53
Speaker 2: batches of alien life.
2:22:54
Speaker 5: And I heard someone say, well, maybe they did that,
2:22:57
Speaker 5: you know, for for our benefit. You know, they know
2:23:00
Speaker 5: we're not ready. And it's like, the hell with that.
2:23:01
Speaker 5: They don't give an F about our benefits.
2:23:03
Speaker 2: And so you stop paying your credit card bills if
2:23:06
Speaker 2: you knew there were people living on other planets.
2:23:08
Speaker 5: It's about China not knowing that we have technology that's
2:23:11
Speaker 5: far beyond what they'll ever get their hands on. It's
2:23:13
Speaker 5: about Russia. having technology that they crash-landed in Siberia. It's
2:23:18
Speaker 5: all this war game we've been playing for centuries.
2:23:21
Speaker 2: I find myself very tired at the end of most
2:23:24
Speaker 2: days by being exhausted by the ulterior motives that it
2:23:28
Speaker 2: seems like the majority of a lot of things have.
2:23:32
Speaker 5: The older I get, the less I want to know.
2:23:34
Speaker 12: Right?
2:23:35
Speaker 5: The more I hear about what the CIA really does
2:23:38
Speaker 5: around the world, I don't want to know. Dumber people
2:23:41
Speaker 5: are happier. I don't want to know.
2:23:43
Speaker 2: Dumb people are happier. One thousand percent.
2:23:45
Speaker 5: Plus, you know, you know a lot. You don't want
2:23:47
Speaker 5: to get on a plane.
2:23:49
Speaker 2: I told my wife a hundred times, I said, when
2:23:50
Speaker 2: this thing is all said and done and I hang
2:23:52
Speaker 2: up my boots from this job, I will never visit
2:23:54
Speaker 2: another news website. I am going to be I will
2:23:57
Speaker 2: be the most oblivious idiot on planet Earth at that point.
2:24:00
Speaker 2: And I'd be trying to tell my dog. I tell
2:24:02
Speaker 2: my dog every day about political corruption. She's not getting it.
2:24:06
Speaker 2: She doesn't get it. All right.
2:24:08
Speaker 5: A lot of other dogs don't either.
2:24:09
Speaker 4: 407-916-1041.
2:24:09
Speaker 2: Again, you can always text us at 777. Deb, got
2:24:16
Speaker 2: some news for us?
2:24:17
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're going to talk about the Florida Department of
2:24:19
Speaker 5: Health hearing public comment on a proposed vaccine rule change.
2:24:23
Speaker 5: I'm sure it wasn't contentious. The 2025-26 school year set
2:24:28
Speaker 5: a record for this, and a demonologist TikToker is arrested.
2:24:34
Speaker 5: No surprise, it's here in Florida. We'll talk about that
2:24:36
Speaker 5: next during You Heard It Here First. All right, let's
2:24:38
Speaker 5: take a little break.
2:24:38
Speaker 2: We'll come back and get Deb's news and get the
2:24:39
Speaker 2: hell out of here on a Thursday.
2:24:42
Speaker 3: It's time for a Talkback Purge on The Jim Colbert Show.
2:24:48
Speaker 10: What's up, y'all? Billy Bones here. Long-time listener, first-time Talkbacker.
2:24:55
Speaker 10: I personally think 2016 was the last good year of rap. Also,
2:25:01
Speaker 10: I am an older Gen Z, and country doesn't do
2:25:04
Speaker 10: it for me, but bluegrass does. I love bluegrass.
2:25:09
Speaker 2: It is so good.
2:25:12
Speaker 5: That's just good taste.
2:25:12
Speaker 12: Jim Jams.
2:25:14
Speaker 2: The male version of the Barbie.
2:25:18
Speaker 12: G.I.
2:25:19
Speaker 2: Joe. My man is getting at it. He's got the
2:25:24
Speaker 2: Kung Fu grip.
2:25:25
Speaker 4: He is.
2:25:26
Speaker 2: Hold up beer can. He's got the Kung Brew grip.
2:25:31
Speaker 15: I have questions on the boo-boo fight.
2:25:34
Speaker 10: Did both of them have to go at the same time,
2:25:37
Speaker 10: or did.
2:25:37
Speaker 1: They pre-plan it?
2:25:38
Speaker 13: Did they go in a bag or keep it in
2:25:39
Speaker 13: their book bag or maybe in their trapper keeper?
2:25:43
Speaker 2: I mean, crapper keeper. That's where they keep it. Crapper keeper.
2:25:45
Speaker 2: In the crapper keeper. One of the best talkbacks, sir.
2:25:50
Speaker 2: Fair questions.
2:25:51
Speaker 9: Hey, Jim Colbert. So when I was in high school
2:25:55
Speaker 9: in the late 90s, we had a school resource officer
2:25:59
Speaker 9: who who was a little too friendly with one of
2:26:03
Speaker 9: our fellow seniors in high school.
2:26:06
Speaker 7: Yeah.
2:26:08
Speaker 9: Long story short, she was pregnant. He was no longer
2:26:12
Speaker 9: a resource officer at the school.
2:26:14
Speaker 11: Oopsies.
2:26:16
Speaker 30: Hey, JCS crew.
2:26:18
Speaker 15: So I went to high school in Seminole County, and
2:26:23
Speaker 15: in the course of the first month, month and a
2:26:26
Speaker 15: half of the school year, we lost four students. Two
2:26:31
Speaker 15: of them were brothers.
2:26:32
Speaker 2: They lived in the house behind me.
2:26:34
Speaker 15: And the other two were friends of mine.
2:26:38
Speaker 3: All of them died in car accidents.
2:26:40
Speaker 23: It was a really rough.
2:26:41
Speaker 15: Year for the students at that school.
2:26:44
Speaker 21: Hey, Jim, I want to chime in on the execution thing.
2:26:49
Speaker 2: My brother's murderer was executed this last December, and I
2:26:54
Speaker 2: was there.
2:26:55
Speaker 21: And I'm framing this from my perspective, thinking about what
2:26:58
Speaker 21: it would be like if it was public entertainment almost.
2:27:04
Speaker 2: It would be super insulting to me.
2:27:06
Speaker 21: To me, that was kind of an intimate thing that
2:27:10
Speaker 21: should be reserved just for the survivors.
2:27:12
Speaker 9: Yep.
2:27:15
Speaker 1: Hey, crew.
2:27:16
Speaker 25: Happy Thursday. Or shall we say Friday Eve? Hope everyone
2:27:21
Speaker 25: is well and having a beautiful week so far. Um,
2:27:24
Speaker 25: I'm going to twist this up a little bit based
2:27:26
Speaker 25: on the, uh, the news and you guys are talking about,
2:27:29
Speaker 25: I didn't hear the whole thing, something about the death penalty,
2:27:31
Speaker 25: but I wanted to compliment Jim because you definitely have
2:27:36
Speaker 25: the fast talking thing down.
2:27:38
Speaker 2: Sorry, Ross, Jim.
2:27:40
Speaker 25: Wins and deb is second but Good work, everyone.
2:27:44
Speaker 15: Cheers.
2:27:44
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to sign a contest, but I do
2:27:47
Speaker 2: talk quickly, my bad. Welcome back to the Jim Colbert Show.
2:27:49
Speaker 2: I'm Jim. Deb, Jack, and Ross are here as well.
2:27:51
Speaker 2: Let's do You Heard It Here First.
2:27:54
Speaker 3: It's time for You Heard It Here First on the
2:27:57
Speaker 3: Jim Colbert Show.
2:27:58
Speaker 5: The Florida Department of Health is hearing from the public
2:28:01
Speaker 5: on a proposed vaccine rule change to remove four vaccines,
2:28:04
Speaker 5: including chickenpox and hepatitis B, from the list of required
2:28:07
Speaker 5: school shots. Florida College of Physicians Governor Mario Madruga.
2:28:12
Speaker 6: The American College of Physicians knows of no respected scientific
2:28:17
Speaker 6: study that indicates that any of these vaccines are harmful
2:28:24
Speaker 6: or ineffective.
2:28:25
Speaker 5: Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo says the decision does
2:28:30
Speaker 5: not ban vaccines because parents' medical freedom. The rule allows
2:28:33
Speaker 5: for parents to opt out of vaccines by submitting a
2:28:37
Speaker 5: form to their child's health care provider. Speaking of school,
2:28:40
Speaker 5: a new report shows the 2025-2026 school year set the
2:28:43
Speaker 5: record for the most banned books. Nonprofit organization Penn America
2:28:48
Speaker 5: found there were almost 12,000 book bans in public schools.
2:28:52
Speaker 5: Across the country last school year, that number includes over
2:28:55
Speaker 5: 7,300 unique titles with Stephen King leading the way as
2:29:00
Speaker 5: the most banned author. Texas topped the list with more
2:29:03
Speaker 5: than 8,100 book bans, while Florida came in second with
2:29:08
Speaker 5: over 3,200. And then finally, Jack, if you get a chance,
2:29:12
Speaker 5: could you look up from Port St. Lucie, 26-year-old Mark
2:29:16
Speaker 5: Steven Asaya? That would be A-S-E-A. His mugshot is a treat.
2:29:22
Speaker 5: A tasty one, huh? A tasty one. We'll see what
2:29:24
Speaker 5: this guy looks like.
2:29:28
Speaker 12: All right.
2:29:28
Speaker 2: A self-proclaimed Florida demonologist. There's no way.
2:29:32
Speaker 5: And TikTok star.
2:29:34
Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
2:29:35
Speaker 13: Yeah.
2:29:37
Speaker 2: Oh, my God. Is that paint or are those tattoos?
2:29:40
Speaker 5: Is behind bars after allegedly turning a tech help request
2:29:44
Speaker 5: into a high-tech nightmare. Port St. Lucie police arrested 26 years.
2:29:49
Speaker 5: He's only 26 years old. Mark Steven Asaya for tracking
2:29:53
Speaker 5: a woman via GPS. She had called for a remote
2:29:56
Speaker 5: help desk thing. Next thing you know, he's accused of
2:29:59
Speaker 5: leaking her private data across more than 100 websites. toxic
2:30:03
Speaker 5: TikTok videos, including her license plate, address, and more.
2:30:08
Speaker 2: Wow, that guy. That may be one of the scariest
2:30:10
Speaker 2: dudes I've ever seen in my life. Like I said,
2:30:13
Speaker 2: it's the mugshot that... You can't get more sketched than that.
2:30:17
Speaker 5: Are you sure?
2:30:18
Speaker 2: The devil crosses the road. So, Mom, what do you think?
2:30:23
Speaker 2: I feel like this one-side single dread. He's got three
2:30:28

2:31:01
Speaker 2: Appreciate that. Jack, the very important question of the day. Oh,
2:31:04
Speaker 2: that's right. It was in our YouTube chat, and we
2:31:08
Speaker 2: posed the query, will you watch a live stream of
2:31:13
Speaker 2: the execution of the Fort Hood shooter? I'm going to
2:31:17
Speaker 2: stand my mind. I said 25%. Ross, you said 17%. Yeah,
2:31:20
Speaker 2: you were the highest, right? Yeah, what did you say?
2:31:24
Speaker 2: I was lower. It was 39% or 38%. I said
2:31:27
Speaker 2: they would. I told you it would be higher than
2:31:28
Speaker 2: you thought. Yeah, yeah. It's the military nature of it,
2:31:31
Speaker 2: I'm telling you guys. It's going to martyr the guy,
2:31:34
Speaker 2: and he'll be a hero in his home country. He'll
2:31:36
Speaker 2: be a hero to those people, which is amazing. Stand-up.
2:31:39
Speaker 2: Not stand-up. Sketch comedy. Sometimes even better, depending on how
2:31:43
Speaker 2: it goes. It's happening October 16th. Out in Melbourne, Florida,
