- 0:02Speaker 1: and twenty three minutes Tween in the top of the
- 0:04Speaker 1: hour A two one nine eight eighty six my number
- 0:06Speaker 1: eight two one WTV and two pictures because we don't
- 0:08Speaker 1: trust anything anymore. Nothing. We trust nothing between AI and
- 0:14Speaker 1: photoshop and malintent, we trust nothing. Two pictures that have
- 0:21Speaker 1: the the the online world on fire today with people
- 0:26Speaker 1: debating their accuracy, their authenticity. Would you think take shot
- 0:32Speaker 1: at either one of those.
- 0:34Speaker 2: I have something about Taylor Swift.
- 0:36Speaker 1: Nothing about Taylor Swift. You'll notice it. There was There
- 0:40Speaker 1: was no sound of vomiting when I brought this up.
- 0:43Speaker 1: She's a national treasure, the first Rachel Ray. Are you
- 0:50Speaker 1: a Rachel Ray fan?
- 0:53Speaker 3: She's a cooking lady, right, yeah, yeah, I know who
- 0:56Speaker 3: she is. I mean, I don't have any you know,
- 0:59Speaker 3: upper day feelings about her.
- 1:01Speaker 1: I used to like, yeah, well see, she always did
- 1:04Speaker 1: seem like a nice lady and I really liked her.
- 1:05Speaker 1: And then all the stories started coming out about the
- 1:07Speaker 1: way she treated staff and people in restaurants and things
- 1:10Speaker 1: like that, and I kind of lost my my MLA
- 1:14Speaker 1: for her. But people are actually arguing online. That's not
- 1:19Speaker 1: Rachel Ray. She's put on a few pounds. I'll be honest.
- 1:27Speaker 1: She doesn't look she doesn't look like her. But I'm
- 1:34Speaker 1: not saying she's not her. She just doesn't look like
- 1:38Speaker 1: the Rachel way that we have come to know. But
- 1:41Speaker 1: she has, uh, she's got a small body. I think
- 1:46Speaker 1: she's only like five two or five three, so somebody
- 1:51Speaker 1: that tall, probably about forty pounds over what I'm used
- 1:56Speaker 1: to seeing. And although I think, well, she doesn't look
- 2:03Speaker 1: much like the Rachel Ray, I know, I don't understand
- 2:06Speaker 1: people actually getting on Instagram and fighting over whether or
- 2:10Speaker 1: not it's her, as if there's some fake out there
- 2:16Speaker 1: impersonating Rachel Ray. The cooking people have fallen. When Emerald
- 2:21Speaker 1: was that remember Emerald, were you big on Emerald? Dam
- 2:25Speaker 1: was big on Emerald? Really?
- 2:26Speaker 2: Not really that videos I'm looking at. She posted it
- 2:29Speaker 2: on her own.
- 2:30Speaker 1: Yeah, it's on her Instagram page. Yeah. But if you
- 2:34Speaker 1: know Rachel of a few years ago, that there's a
- 2:38Speaker 1: significant change in her appearance. Her mouth even looks different.
- 2:42Speaker 1: It's it's it's odd, but you know, when the chefs
- 2:46Speaker 1: all came along, there was Emerald and there was Justin Wilson.
- 2:51Speaker 1: He was the woe from the cage of mask they
- 2:53Speaker 1: post a on right now. He was a PBS guy
- 2:57Speaker 1: and uh and Gordon Ramsay came along, which I've never
- 3:00Speaker 1: cared for him. Rachel Ray, Pauladine still likes some Pauladine.
- 3:06Speaker 1: I know she got in hot water for using racial slurs.
- 3:11Speaker 1: You know, everybody out there has said something they regret.
- 3:15Speaker 1: I still like the food she was talking about. I
- 3:18Speaker 1: enjoyed it. But they've they're really faded away now, except
- 3:23Speaker 1: for Gordon Ramsey, who keeps coming back with another Hell's
- 3:26Speaker 1: Kitchen or whatever it is. But most of those guys,
- 3:31Speaker 1: Emerald pops up in the middle of the night selling
- 3:33Speaker 1: you the air fryers now and then. But it was
- 3:37Speaker 1: a wonderful era coming out of the nineties where just
- 3:39Speaker 1: every you know, there were chefs everywhere, and everybody wanted
- 3:41Speaker 1: to be a chef, and anybody who was. If you
- 3:43Speaker 1: were the one in charge of dropping the fries at McDonald's,
- 3:47Speaker 1: you called yourself a chef. Everybody wanted to be a
- 3:51Speaker 1: yes chef, thank you chef. They like that, while the
- 3:55Speaker 1: real authentic chefs were keeping their mouths shut and just
- 3:58Speaker 1: preparing the food.
- 3:59Speaker 3: I mean, it was those say I'd watch one of
- 4:01Speaker 3: those cooking shows and then I'd make a frozen.
- 4:03Speaker 2: Dinner, and I'm like, these potatoes are just not up
- 4:05Speaker 2: to park. There's just something missing from the text.
- 4:09Speaker 1: I'm not Chefshach anymore.
- 4:11Speaker 2: I'm very disappointed.
- 4:13Speaker 1: The other the other photo that people are even TMZ
- 4:16Speaker 1: has jumped in on this to say, we're not buying it.
- 4:21Speaker 1: The Mitch McConnell photo, where they apparently took a picture
- 4:26Speaker 1: of him in a hospital room holding up a newspaper
- 4:32Speaker 1: like he's a kidnapped victim to prove he's alive. I'm
- 4:38Speaker 1: not dead yet, here's a newspaper shows I'm fire. I'll
- 4:42Speaker 1: be back. TMZ is questioning the fact that he's wearing
- 4:46Speaker 1: a button down shirt in the hospital. That's that's not real,
- 4:51Speaker 1: that's photoshopped. He's nobody lays in a hospital bed wearing
- 4:55Speaker 1: a button down shirt.
- 4:56Speaker 3: Maybe he was just getting up and he wanted to
- 4:58Speaker 3: take a picture because he's a senator and didn't want
- 5:02Speaker 3: to have a you know what, other it's called scrubs
- 5:05Speaker 3: or whatever.
- 5:06Speaker 1: Hospital lighting spat enough or what looked good.
- 5:09Speaker 2: I mean, he is a handsome man.
- 5:10Speaker 1: You're beautiful, beautiful man, but they're actually debating as to
- 5:14Speaker 1: whether or not the picture is authentic and whether the
- 5:16Speaker 1: rumor that he's dead. That's what they keep saying, and
- 5:19Speaker 1: for some reason they don't want anybody to know. Now
- 5:24Speaker 1: that is a particularly shaky time if he were dead,
- 5:28Speaker 1: or if he were to die, well that you know
- 5:32Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Gramma in the same little short
- 5:35Speaker 1: space of time. That's not good. We had that one
- 5:40Speaker 1: representative House of Representatives member about a year and a
- 5:43Speaker 1: half ago, remember her? That was she Texas? I think
- 5:47Speaker 1: she was from Texas And she disappeared for like five months. Yeah,
- 5:51Speaker 1: and they found her in a rehab facility in Texas,
- 5:55Speaker 1: like a memory care plays or something.
- 5:58Speaker 2: Her son said something release a statement. I remember that.
- 6:02Speaker 1: Wasn't there something about Elizabeth Warren in some sort of
- 6:05Speaker 1: memory care place.
- 6:06Speaker 2: She got lost on the res for a bit.
- 6:08Speaker 1: Was that what it was?
- 6:09Speaker 2: She found her way.
- 6:10Speaker 1: Back me smoking peyote. If not find tpe he is
- 6:17Speaker 1: Kimo savi. It was good the I think she was.
- 6:22Speaker 1: Then she disappeared though, and went to some kind of
- 6:25Speaker 1: something or other. Seems like I remember a story about her.
- 6:29Speaker 1: The antics. You can't keep up with him By the way,
- 6:31Speaker 1: don't google that or Apple because you won't get a
- 6:34Speaker 1: straight answer. But people are actually debating now whether or
- 6:38Speaker 1: not Mitch McConnell is still alive. And I believe the
- 6:40Speaker 1: man's still alive, and I think it's morbid to think
- 6:42Speaker 1: otherwise that whole You know, do they still have that
- 6:47Speaker 1: celebrity death Watch? Is that still around? Oh?
- 6:49Speaker 2: There's a ton of sites like that. People bet on that.
- 6:54Speaker 1: I think that's rude a little bit. And if he's
- 7:00Speaker 1: he has passed away and for some reason they are
- 7:05Speaker 1: withholding that information, then I switch directions of my anger
- 7:08Speaker 1: and I'm mad at the people who didn't tell us.
- 7:10Speaker 1: I'm mad at the behind the scenes people a lot.
- 7:14Speaker 1: If you remember, I didn't get very mad at Joe
- 7:16Speaker 1: Biden a lot of times. I got mad at Jill
- 7:18Speaker 1: and Hunter Yeah, for pushing him out there when he
- 7:21Speaker 1: didn't need to be out there. The puppeteers, the string pullers,
- 7:29Speaker 1: those are the people I get upset about. But when
- 7:31Speaker 1: you've got somebody who obviously poor Joe. I just over
- 7:38Speaker 1: the weekend I watched that the video of the Barack
- 7:43Speaker 1: Obama Presidential Library dedication probably half a dozen times. And
- 7:56Speaker 1: while I did not have much positive to say about
- 8:00Speaker 1: his presidency. I felt bad for the guy I got.
- 8:06Speaker 1: I mean this sincerely. I got sad for him, especially
- 8:11Speaker 1: after everyone left the stage. He's out there with his
- 8:13Speaker 1: aviators on, standing up there at the podium and he
- 8:18Speaker 1: just he takes off his glasses and he just kind
- 8:21Speaker 1: of squints out at the audience. He just looks like
- 8:23Speaker 1: a lost puppy. Where am I going? What am I
- 8:27Speaker 1: supposed to do? They just left him, and I don't know.
- 8:36Speaker 1: Maybe it's maybe it's because I'm older now and my
- 8:39Speaker 1: hair is gray, and I can't stop being a human
- 8:45Speaker 1: being in the name of politics. I don't want to
- 8:50Speaker 1: see anybody suffer or be embarrassed like that. And this man, again,
- 8:56Speaker 1: he was president of the United States. Whether you liked
- 8:59Speaker 1: him or not, whether he was a good president or not,
- 9:01Speaker 1: none of that's up for debate. He was president of
- 9:05Speaker 1: the United States. And to see him discarded that way,
- 9:14Speaker 1: that was hurtful. What was the other event where President
- 9:19Speaker 1: Obama took him by the arms that come on, Joe,
- 9:22Speaker 1: it's time to get off the stack.
- 9:23Speaker 3: I think that was just like a fundraiser speech thing.
- 9:25Speaker 3: But I remember that because President Obama had to and
- 9:28Speaker 3: it was said it looked like he was talking to
- 9:30Speaker 3: a toddler.
- 9:31Speaker 2: He had to take his hand and kind of come on,
- 9:34Speaker 2: let's get.
- 9:35Speaker 1: And did you see the video I'm talking about from
- 9:36Speaker 1: the Obama Library presidential dedication.
- 9:38Speaker 2: I have not. He didn't make us. He didn't say anything, did.
- 9:41Speaker 1: He not In this clip I watched. He may have
- 9:44Speaker 1: at some point, but not in the clip I watched,
- 9:47Speaker 1: and the clip I watched, they were kind of culminating
- 9:49Speaker 1: the grand opening, and you know, so Barack Obama's invit everybody,
- 9:53Speaker 1: let's go and joy the Barack Obama Presidential Library. Well,
- 9:59Speaker 1: and he leaves, and President Biden is just standing there. Lost,
- 10:08Speaker 1: absolutely lost when Barack Obama was president of this country.
- 10:14Speaker 1: I got up. You know. You know he had a
- 10:18Speaker 1: fake behind him, a sign language interpreter. I don't know
- 10:22Speaker 1: if you recall that or not. I believe he's in Johannesburg,
- 10:24Speaker 1: if I'm not mistake, in South Africa and he is
- 10:28Speaker 1: on stage speaking and ten feet maybe ten feet behind
- 10:35Speaker 1: him is this guy looking like he got spiders on
- 10:40Speaker 1: his hands or something.
- 10:41Speaker 2: That's right for parody, but it's infuriating to watch.
- 10:46Speaker 1: He was a fake sign language interpreter. How on oif
- 10:56Speaker 1: did this man get that close to our president? Absolutely amazing.
- 11:08Speaker 1: Maybe it's because one our two hundred and fiftieth year
- 11:10Speaker 1: that I'm so serious and reminiscent about the leadership of
- 11:15Speaker 1: this country. They all say something goofy, something stupid here
- 11:19Speaker 1: and there, because that's that's human nature. Remember Jimmy Carter's
- 11:24Speaker 1: giant rabbit. No, you're too young for that. I think
- 11:27Speaker 1: he was out with Billy if I'm not mistaken. They
- 11:29Speaker 1: were out in a boat or something, probably had some
- 11:32Speaker 1: Billy beer. And Jimmy Carter's he told some story about
- 11:37Speaker 1: a giant, giant rabbit.
- 11:39Speaker 2: I remember you saying that. I haven't, you know, I
- 11:41Speaker 2: don't remember.
- 11:42Speaker 1: Obviously, he was so sincere about it, so sincere about it.
- 11:49Speaker 1: Gerald Ford, you know, Chevy Chase made a living out
- 11:51Speaker 1: of parodies of Gerald Ford falling over everything, Richard Nixon's
- 11:57Speaker 1: comedic delivery. They all have their little idiosyncrasies in their craziness.
- 12:01Speaker 1: And Uncle Joe, it was pretty much everything he said
- 12:07Speaker 1: it all. He kept hearkening back. He was like old
- 12:10Speaker 1: Uncle Joe.
- 12:12Speaker 4: I said, the poor Harry Leggs kids just like they
- 12:17Speaker 4: here on the legs and stand up, they come up
- 12:20Speaker 4: here and they rub my legs.
- 12:23Speaker 1: Wow.
- 12:24Speaker 2: He would say weird stuff.
- 12:25Speaker 3: But I knew something was going wrong when he did
- 12:28Speaker 3: the whole you work in a factory and he stacks
- 12:31Speaker 3: spaghetti sauce is really high. And he got to thea
- 12:33Speaker 3: he sacks spaghetti sauce really Highklub what happened?
- 12:39Speaker 4: Like?
- 12:40Speaker 2: He said, what happened? Like he was thinking it, but
- 12:42Speaker 2: set it out loud, like what happened.
- 12:44Speaker 1: There was a guy in Iowa that he challenged to
- 12:47Speaker 1: push ups. I remember that, what kind of shape are you?
- 12:50Speaker 1: And I do? I do push ups every day. Come on,
- 12:53Speaker 1: let's go right now. A member of the audience that
- 12:55Speaker 1: was asking a question at a town hall and he
- 12:59Speaker 1: didn't like the question question, so he challenged him to
- 13:01Speaker 1: push ups. Then he went after a CNN reporter backstage.
- 13:06Speaker 1: He had a lot of loose moments before it got really,
- 13:10Speaker 1: really bad.
- 13:11Speaker 3: I think it got about two years, probably sooner from
- 13:14Speaker 3: what you saw. About a year and a half two
- 13:17Speaker 3: years as presidency. I just went, oh, my goodness, we're
- 13:19Speaker 3: in trouble.
- 13:20Speaker 1: Well, all of that said to say once again that
- 13:22Speaker 1: if if Mitch McConnell has indeed passed away, and they
- 13:25Speaker 1: are hiding. Its shame on them. But I just I
- 13:29Speaker 1: think it's I think it's cruel for people to be
- 13:33Speaker 1: out there on their Instagrams and their reddits and their
- 13:36Speaker 1: twitters because X is a stupid name and Facebook debating
- 13:43Speaker 1: whether the guy's dead or not. It's just morbid or
- 13:49Speaker 1: maybe that's just me.
- 13:51Speaker 4: All Right.
- 13:51Speaker 1: When I get out of here tonight, I've got did
- 13:53Speaker 1: you get the podcast up?
- 13:54Speaker 2: For me?
- 13:54Speaker 1: Asking you up earlier? Is that up? And ready? Every
- 13:57Speaker 1: everything's up? All right? Miss if you miss Jay Ratliffe,
- 14:01Speaker 1: the podcast is up. That was a wonderful first hour
- 14:04Speaker 1: talking to him about day trading and his amazing success
- 14:10Speaker 1: at it. Daytradefun dot Com is his website, and of
- 14:15Speaker 1: course we had a great talk with Don Mihalik from
- 14:17Speaker 1: ABC
