11:56
Speaker 2: some of the things that are happening in our nation,
11:59
Speaker 2: and some of the things is happening in this crazy
12:02
Speaker 2: world in which we live in with which if if you,
12:06
Speaker 2: unless you've been living under a rock, if you've seen
12:09
Speaker 2: what's happening over the weekend, not much of it's good,
12:15
Speaker 2: if any of it is good, And I know today's
12:20
Speaker 2: blue Monday, and you know, but just being honest with you, man,
12:24
Speaker 2: there's some heavy, heavy stuff going on in the world
12:27
Speaker 2: right now. I want to ask you, though I'm gonna
12:31
Speaker 2: and I've got this up on the page right now,
12:37
Speaker 2: the Facebook question of the Day this morning. Really interested
12:40
Speaker 2: to hear what you have to say about this, and
12:43
Speaker 2: Kevin and I are going to be chatting about this tomorrow.
12:47
Speaker 2: Some of your responses. Let's say, you about the possibility
12:56
Speaker 2: that pretty soon Americans might be able to dip into
13:00
Speaker 2: their four oh one ks to help with the down
13:04
Speaker 2: payment on a new home. This is something you're going
13:07
Speaker 2: to be hearing a lot more about this week, whether
13:13
Speaker 2: or not this is going to fly. Trump administration trying
13:16
Speaker 2: to make it happen. I'm asking you, is is this
13:23
Speaker 2: a good plan do you think to combat affordability and
13:30
Speaker 2: to help with a housing market push? Or is this
13:36
Speaker 2: possibly going to backfire because supply is not really in
13:43
Speaker 2: line with demand? What do you think? What do you
13:48
Speaker 2: think about this? What is it? Fifty nine and a half?
13:55
Speaker 2: I think is when we get to dip into the
13:56
Speaker 2: four oh one k without any penalties, but to get
14:01
Speaker 2: into it sooner for the sake of getting into a
14:07
Speaker 2: home without a penalty, it might be interesting. What might
14:14
Speaker 2: happen here? Don't know, but I ask you, what say you?
14:19
Speaker 2: What do you think? Do you think this is not
14:24
Speaker 2: going to work out as well as it is being
14:30
Speaker 2: said that it potentially could? I don't know, man, there's
14:35
Speaker 2: a I don't know. I have some thoughts on it,
14:40
Speaker 2: but I am more interested on what you have to say.
14:45
Speaker 2: I'm going to show you some of the roads here
14:47
Speaker 2: this morning, and for the most part they look like
14:50
Speaker 2: they're pretty clear. My drive in was not bad at all.
14:53
Speaker 2: It did hear some trucks going by with some product
14:59
Speaker 2: that they dropp but for the most part, things are
15:03
Speaker 2: moving pretty well on eighty nine. So we show you
15:07
Speaker 2: some shots here. Here's the high spot up in Brookfield.
15:12
Speaker 2: Pictures of Hartford, Brookfield again, Bethel and of course eighty
15:19
Speaker 2: nine right there, Exit ten in Waterbury, so not bad
15:26
Speaker 2: South Burlington right there, dry roads. So just go easy,
15:31
Speaker 2: be careful and remember this is something worth mentioning here
15:37
Speaker 2: to receive road reports, weather reports, emergency alerts directly. It's
15:45
Speaker 2: a great idea to sign up for Vermont Alert VTLERT
15:49
Speaker 2: dot CoV if you haven't already, I get it, Sharylyn
15:53
Speaker 2: gets it. And we're always watching and listening and paying
15:58
Speaker 2: attention to what happens so that we can pass it
16:01
Speaker 2: along to you. But yeah, it is a VT alert
16:07
Speaker 2: dot gov. Of course we're going to talk about football
16:14
Speaker 2: this morning, yes, of course. Before we do, though, we
16:21
Speaker 2: have a waking up to the news. What do you
16:24
Speaker 2: got thirty nine degrees in in Fort Pierce, Stacy Holden,
16:32
Speaker 2: it's man, it is chili down there. What they had
16:36
Speaker 2: some that a little bit of snow in Georgia, I
16:38
Speaker 2: think accumulating like an inch, which if you know, they
16:47
Speaker 2: shut down down there Georgia, Florida. When there's even a
16:54
Speaker 2: flake in the sky, everything shuts down. But thirty nine
17:00
Speaker 2: degrees wow. State line he's saying in the Panhandle is
17:05
Speaker 2: where the now is heard about Georgia. But yeah, woke
17:13
Speaker 2: up this morning to some sad news about this this
17:17
Speaker 2: fire at home in Swanton this morning. WCAX says there's
17:22
Speaker 2: no word on injuries. Police are asking people to avoid
17:25
Speaker 2: first in liberty streets. But horrible fire structure fire. We've
17:33
Speaker 2: got the video up on aired out that was taken
17:36
Speaker 2: by the WCAX team. But got to hope everybody's all right.
17:43
Speaker 2: Other headlines this morning, we have fromont Day Police investigating
17:47
Speaker 2: the death of a Chittenden Regional Correctional Facility inmate. I'll
17:51
Speaker 2: have the details of that story up there. And then
17:56
Speaker 2: we've got this twenty year old guy who's facingmultiple charges,
18:01
Speaker 2: including attempted murder after shooting another one another guy a
18:08
Speaker 2: Saturday night in Colchester, Dakota Ward from Enosburgh facing charges
18:14
Speaker 2: for attempted second degree murder, aggravated assault, reckless endangerment, and
18:19
Speaker 2: possession of a weapons charge. Looks like he might be
18:24
Speaker 2: camped out in the big House for a little while
18:26
Speaker 2: twenty five year old from Milton is recovering from wounds
18:32
Speaker 2: to his face walked into, walk into, walked into police
18:41
Speaker 2: headquarters after being shot in the face. He's at the
18:45
Speaker 2: University of a Mount Medical Center recovering. Incredible. Wow. Stuff
18:56
Speaker 2: that happens over the weekend is just so eye opening.
18:59
Speaker 2: The national headlines we've got in that there's so many,
19:03
Speaker 2: and I'll try to put them up up on the
19:07
Speaker 2: page so you can see. We have the Army putting
19:11
Speaker 2: fifteen hundred soldiers on standby for possible deployment where Minnesota.
19:26
Speaker 2: We have NASA astronauts on the Artemis two mission, all
19:38
Speaker 2: moved to the launch pad and ready to go. Apparently
19:47
Speaker 2: got this massive rocket to the launch pad on Saturday,
19:54
Speaker 2: returning humans to the Moon. February sixth could be the
19:59
Speaker 2: law launch if all goes well February sixth. This is
20:05
Speaker 2: kind of kind of weird, exciting. I know many of
20:14
Speaker 2: you believe that we never went to the Moon and
20:23
Speaker 2: we're not going to be going on February sixth either.
20:25
Speaker 2: It's going to be all staged. There's so many conspiracies
20:28
Speaker 2: about this, it's amazing. But apparently this will. This Artemis
20:35
Speaker 2: program is going to be returning humans to the Moon
20:40
Speaker 2: since the first time since nineteen seventy two. Why in
20:44
Speaker 2: the hell has it taken so long? Is it just money?
20:52
Speaker 2: We'll see what happens. Was it the Artemis one that
20:58
Speaker 2: shot up there in two an uncrewed a trip to
21:05
Speaker 2: the Moon, and then we have Artemis three that's tentatively
21:11
Speaker 2: scheduled for the summer of twenty twenty seven, when we're
21:18
Speaker 2: going to be walking around on the surface, maybe building
21:22
Speaker 2: a little um, you know, base camp of sorts. I
21:31
Speaker 2: wonder if they'll have green Mountain coffee ca cups going
21:35
Speaker 2: up there. I don't know, I don't know what's going
21:37
Speaker 2: to happen. What else is happening. China and Russia collaborating
21:46
Speaker 2: on a nuclear powered lunar base near the Moon's south pole. Okay,
21:55
Speaker 2: some new stuff going on about chat GBT, and I'm
22:00
Speaker 2: going to be posting this up for you to read about.
22:04
Speaker 2: It feels like it was just yesterday that so many
22:08
Speaker 2: of us were like chat what now? And new study
22:13
Speaker 2: that sixty percent of Americans are using chat GBT, sixty
22:19
Speaker 2: percent open AI and chat GBT is going to be
22:28
Speaker 2: changing in twenty twenty six. There's going to be ads.
22:34
Speaker 2: There's going to be new subscription tiers, but there's some
22:39
Speaker 2: changes that are coming, major changes. If you rely on
22:46
Speaker 2: Chat GBT, here we go supply and demand. If you
22:49
Speaker 2: rely on it, you might be opening your wallet. And
22:57
Speaker 2: of course you know it's it's not going to cost
23:00
Speaker 2: you a fortune. But everything's going up. Spotify is going up,
23:07
Speaker 2: and uh, you know, I mean there's so many big
23:13
Speaker 2: businesses that are really relying on AI Open AI, big
23:18
Speaker 2: time voice in interface changes, wow, personalization changes. I mean,
23:29
Speaker 2: this is kind of kind of weird, man. And I
23:34
Speaker 2: know my kid is going to be finding out about
23:38
Speaker 2: all this stuff probably before I am, but it's coming
23:43
Speaker 2: and it's coming fast. Let's talk sports. I'm gonna see
23:52
Speaker 2: if I can get Logan on here, and I'm guessing
23:57
Speaker 2: that he is probably a little tired, as many football
24:04
Speaker 2: fans are this morning, and maybe even emotionally a little
24:10
Speaker 2: tapped out on this Blue Monday, especially if you're a
24:15
Speaker 2: Bills fan. But the the Broncos survived this incredible late
24:23
Speaker 2: Bills push on Saturday night, and I was watching the
24:28
Speaker 2: game with Dwayne and some friends and we were all
24:34
Speaker 2: screaming winning in overtime with a twenty three yard field goal?
24:39
Speaker 2: H Logan, what say you about that game?
24:44
Speaker 3: The Rams are the Bills game.
24:46
Speaker 2: The Bills, the Bills in Broncos game.
24:49
Speaker 3: The Bills the Bills game was great. The Brails and
24:53
Speaker 3: Broncos game was great. I mean, I but I mean
24:57
Speaker 3: with with bo Nick's injury coming in, that's not really
25:02
Speaker 3: not a really good sign for Denver, assuming they're trusting
25:06
Speaker 3: their backup. Who who is a some guy named Jared
25:11
Speaker 3: stidem Yeah, Jared Stidham.
25:13
Speaker 2: Yep, he's gonna start in the conference championship.
25:16
Speaker 3: Yeah, that'll be interesting to see for sure. Yes, Patriots,
25:21
Speaker 3: I mean Patriots. Patriots won it. They crushed it. They
25:24
Speaker 3: crushed the Texans. They crushed the Texans, and they're going
25:27
Speaker 3: off to the AFC Championship to face the Broncos. Yeah,
25:31
Speaker 3: so that'll be great. C J.
25:33
Speaker 2: Stroud capitalizing on four interceptions.
25:40
Speaker 3: Yeah it sucks.
25:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, sixteen to three. Texans just not bringing the goods
25:51
Speaker 2: New England. No, just I mean they're playing at home, man,
25:56
Speaker 2: they're destroying it.
25:57
Speaker 3: Seattle crushes the forty nine Ers though, forty one to six.
26:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, was that a football game? That wasn't even a
26:04
Speaker 2: football No, that was no.
26:06
Speaker 3: You watched like a massacre. He saw a bloodshed. I
26:12
Speaker 3: mean Brouck Hey, I mean I I was. I called
26:15
Speaker 3: it too, I said, I was, like, I was really
26:17
Speaker 3: hoping the Seahawks would do it again because we held
26:20
Speaker 3: Brock Bowser and no touchdowns in week seventeen, and then
26:23
Speaker 3: we held him to no touchdowns again in the divisional game.
26:27
Speaker 3: So huge, huge run for Seattle. But Seattle and Rams.
26:32
Speaker 2: Yeah.
26:32
Speaker 3: Oh. Also, I gotta say that over that overtime was crazy.
26:35
Speaker 3: But the Bear the Bears had it. I mean the
26:38
Speaker 3: Bears were looking good except the overtime. They looked they
26:40
Speaker 3: looked terrible in ot. Yeah. I don't know if he
26:42
Speaker 3: saw ot, but they looked.
26:45
Speaker 2: I didn't see that. That that late game last night.
26:48
Speaker 2: I know it was a thriller. Oh I know that. Yeah,
26:53
Speaker 2: I know that was a costly interception by Caleb Williams,
26:58
Speaker 2: but I did not. I did not see that. Watch
27:00
Speaker 2: the Pats game.
27:02
Speaker 3: Oh fair enough.
27:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, but did you stay up to the end of
27:06
Speaker 2: that Bears Rams game?
27:09
Speaker 3: Yeah? No, I saw the ending, Like I said, I
27:11
Speaker 3: just yeah, it was just offensively the Bears they were well,
27:15
Speaker 3: like like at the end of the fourth quarter, like
27:17
Speaker 3: when they came back and had that massive like when
27:20
Speaker 3: he passed that massive dart too. I think it was Allan.
27:23
Speaker 3: I think it was Keenan Allen. I'm not sure, but
27:26
Speaker 3: I know that he threw that dart to tie the
27:28
Speaker 3: game up seventeen seventeen to send it to overtime. And
27:31
Speaker 3: they looked good. And then I don't know what happened
27:34
Speaker 3: in that overtime. They looked sloppy. They just didn't look
27:37
Speaker 3: like they I would describe as if like they forgot
27:40
Speaker 3: how to play football for a minute. It just didn't
27:42
Speaker 3: look it just didn't look good. I don't know what
27:44
Speaker 3: happened obviously, like you said, costly interception. And so yeah,
27:50
Speaker 3: we got a I mean, we got a crazy looking
27:52
Speaker 3: AFC and NFC game next Sunday, though, Yeah, I mean
27:57
Speaker 3: Seahawks ram Divisional championship. Man, that's going to be intense. Yep,
28:04
Speaker 3: Seattle has home field advantage in Lambeau or not Lambo
28:09
Speaker 3: sorry from the stadium loomenfield bad Yeah, twelve stadium, we
28:14
Speaker 3: have the we have home field advantage. And then Patriots.
28:18
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, no, Denver, Denver has home field advantage
28:22
Speaker 3: for the Patriots. Yeah, Denver game. I mean, this will
28:26
Speaker 3: be a crazy matchup for sure, considering I mean, because
28:30
Speaker 3: like it could be any Super Bowl at this point.
28:32
Speaker 3: It could be like it's because if say, if Seattle
28:35
Speaker 3: does win, it's like we could see a Bronco Seahawks
28:38
Speaker 3: matchup rematch again in the Super Bowl. We could see
28:41
Speaker 3: Patriots and Seahawks again from eleven years ago, you know.
28:46
Speaker 3: Or if the Rams win, this is the chance for
28:48
Speaker 3: the Rams to get their second championship after beating what
28:52
Speaker 3: Cincinnati about three years ago for Super Bowl. So I mean,
28:58
Speaker 3: either way, all these all these four teams left look
29:01
Speaker 3: great and it's gonna be one hell of a Super Bowl.
29:04
Speaker 3: I can tell you that much.
29:05
Speaker 2: Yeah. Bo Nicks, Uh, first of all, injured? What a
29:11
Speaker 2: what a tough guy though? Man play you know how
29:14
Speaker 2: long did he play with a broken ankle?
29:17
Speaker 3: Jesus, Yeah, he's playing with a broken ankle, while also
29:21
Speaker 3: being like he's what a second year? He's the second year?
29:24
Speaker 2: Is he?
29:24
Speaker 3: Or no, he's a second year, he's a second year.
29:26
Speaker 3: He was a rookie last year.
29:27
Speaker 2: Surgery tomorrow for Knicks.
29:31
Speaker 3: So well, that was quick considering it just happened. They
29:35
Speaker 3: were they really wanted to get his surgery done.
29:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I know it's good though, and and yeah,
29:41
Speaker 2: I mean what was your favorite game through the weekend?
29:44
Speaker 3: Though, I mean for me personally, it was on the
29:47
Speaker 3: Seahawks game, just based off of like as being a
29:49
Speaker 3: Seahawks fan. But I will say though, in terms of
29:52
Speaker 3: not being a Seahawks fan, I definitely can safely say
29:55
Speaker 3: that matchup between the I want to, Yeah, I want to.
30:00
Speaker 3: I want to go with the matchup of the Bill.
30:02
Speaker 3: I think the Bills in Broncos game was really tough,
30:05
Speaker 3: heavy hitter. It was definitely the heavy hitter. Oh did
30:08
Speaker 3: you see Sean Sean McDermot, the Bills head coach just
30:12
Speaker 3: got fired to they just fired him.
30:14
Speaker 2: Yes, And there's a lawsuit that's pending right now. The
30:20
Speaker 2: Bills are suing the NFL. From what I understand, uh
30:26
Speaker 2: for that that that controversial uh play And I can't
30:31
Speaker 2: I can't remember who it was, whether or not the
30:33
Speaker 2: ball was caught or not? Oh, who was it? Some
30:37
Speaker 2: Stacey will help me out here? Uh, that that huge
30:41
Speaker 2: controversial play.
30:45
Speaker 3: Yeah. No, I'm I sadly didn't see that game, so
30:47
Speaker 3: I can't safely say, like, oh, what that was. But
30:50
Speaker 3: I I will say though, like from what I heard
30:53
Speaker 3: and saw stat wise, it looked it looked intense, it
30:56
Speaker 3: looked good.
30:56
Speaker 2: Yeah it was, it was, but the way yeah, I mean.
31:04
Speaker 3: Yeah, But to be fair, I the thing is the Bills.
31:07
Speaker 3: The Bills have sadly been at this road so many times,
31:11
Speaker 3: so I do feel bad for them as a franchise.
31:15
Speaker 3: I mean, but them firing their head coach is definitely
31:18
Speaker 3: like a huge shock because it's like he's brought them
31:22
Speaker 3: to the AFC Championship in multip like they've been They've
31:26
Speaker 3: been to the AFC Championship and have been in the
31:28
Speaker 3: playoffs like for the past six seven seasons, and so
31:33
Speaker 3: I hands down just think that I don't know, I
31:38
Speaker 3: think honestly, like after them firing Sean, I I honestly
31:42
Speaker 3: wouldn't be surprised if we see, like Josh Allen requesting
31:46
Speaker 3: a trade within the next couple of years. I don't know,
31:49
Speaker 3: I don't think I think right now, I think what
31:51
Speaker 3: I think. The Bills looked good when they had Stefan
31:54
Speaker 3: Diggs and they had like an actual team, and right
31:57
Speaker 3: now they just you know, they just don't seem to
31:59
Speaker 3: have much going for them offensively. So I'm just hoping
32:03
Speaker 3: because Josh, because Josh Allen really needs. He needs like
32:07
Speaker 3: he needs a wide receiver. He needs someone that's going
32:09
Speaker 3: to catch the ball for him. That's what he needs. Yeah,
32:11
Speaker 3: he needs someone that's reliable for sure, a little bit
32:15
Speaker 3: more reliable.
32:16
Speaker 2: It was, it was, it was. It was painful to
32:20
Speaker 2: see the look on Josh Allen's face.
32:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah, no, well he's disappointed. I don't blame him.
32:27
Speaker 3: He like, you know, this is the first, like I mean,
32:29
Speaker 3: this is the first opportunity he had where he wasn't
32:32
Speaker 3: going to have to face the chiefs. And you know,
32:35
Speaker 3: it was a tough battle, like I mean, they they
32:37
Speaker 3: it was thirty to thirty, you know, by like going
32:40
Speaker 3: into the overtime, it was thirty and thirty. So it's
32:42
Speaker 3: like it was just intense, like you know, And so
32:45
Speaker 3: for Josh Allen, it's definitely, you know, definitely you know, stressful,
32:48
Speaker 3: especially like you know, losing this late and like you know,
32:51
Speaker 3: he didn't make it this time. So it sucks.
32:53
Speaker 2: But it was it was Sjosh Allen's pass to Brandon Cooks,
32:59
Speaker 2: you know, over time that was wrestled out of the U,
33:05
Speaker 2: out of the hands of Jake Kwan, McMillan and officials
33:12
Speaker 2: ruled that McMillan had the ball before Cooks was down
33:16
Speaker 2: by contact, and I don't know, man, it was, it was,
33:26
Speaker 2: it was played and over. It should have been reviewed
33:29
Speaker 2: a little bit more. I agree with with Stacy here.
33:33
Speaker 2: It seems like the review process on that should have
33:38
Speaker 2: gone on a little bit longer, you know, bathroom for
33:45
Speaker 2: that one.
33:46
Speaker 3: It should have been exactly No, I I definitely will say,
33:51
Speaker 3: like you know, I'll have to take a look at it.
33:53
Speaker 3: I'll have to see the play myself and definitely review
33:55
Speaker 3: it when I'm when I'm live Saturday, I'll definitely review it.
33:59
Speaker 2: Then Christian McCaffrey forty nine ers also injured, so that'll
34:08
Speaker 2: be interesting. I mean, yeah, second team, Yeah, that's second
34:13
Speaker 2: lost to Seattle.
34:17
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, well it really was, like I mean, it
34:21
Speaker 3: really was a bad start for them, even from the go,
34:23
Speaker 3: considering Seattle was up seventeen points to nothing at one
34:27
Speaker 3: point and they got the field goal to make it
34:30
Speaker 3: three points, and then Seattle brought it up to twenty
34:33
Speaker 3: four to three. Then it just continued, especially from specifically
34:37
Speaker 3: from Kenneth Walker nineteen carries one hundred and sixteen yards
34:41
Speaker 3: in three touchdowns. Absolute ballgame for running back Kenneth Walker.
34:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, what about what about college football? We we got Miami
34:55
Speaker 2: and Indiana teams getting ready for the National Champion Chips
35:01
Speaker 2: Game semi final wins tonight, that's the night ye have seven.
35:06
Speaker 3: I remember I reviewed it last week on the pot
35:10
Speaker 3: My podcast. Last week I reviewed it. Yeah, I know, Indiana.
35:15
Speaker 3: Indiana looks crazy. I mean, shoot, it's gonna be hard game,
35:19
Speaker 3: hard fought game for sure for both teams. Both teams
35:23
Speaker 3: looked great.
35:24
Speaker 2: I wanted to I didn't get a chance to catch
35:27
Speaker 2: the Athletics podcast on Saturday morning, but did you were
35:31
Speaker 2: able to talk about the scandal?
35:36
Speaker 3: Yeah?
35:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, but the scandal yeah, oh yeah.
35:38
Speaker 3: I definitely talked about it. I talked about the fact that,
35:41
Speaker 3: you know, in a nutshell, it was there. I listed
35:44
Speaker 3: some of the teams that were, like some of the
35:47
Speaker 3: colleges that were a part of it, like, for example,
35:49
Speaker 3: Tulane was a part of it, Southern Missouri, you know,
35:53
Speaker 3: a couple others. So, uh, you know, they listed the
35:56
Speaker 3: name of the schools and then they came out with
35:59
Speaker 3: some players' names. You'll have to review it, but I
36:04
Speaker 3: definitely talked about there was definitely they've at least named already,
36:07
Speaker 3: like publicly, like five or six college players already so far,
36:11
Speaker 3: so a couple of players have already been you know named.
36:15
Speaker 3: I mean, I I stand with the fact that I
36:18
Speaker 3: think that I don't think because you asked. You asked
36:20
Speaker 3: me the question which I also talked about, was you know,
36:23
Speaker 3: do you think March madness will be affected by this?
36:26
Speaker 3: And I still stand behind it. I think no. I
36:28
Speaker 3: think the best thing for the NCAA to do is
36:31
Speaker 3: simply to suspend each of the players that were involved
36:34
Speaker 3: for at least the remainder of the season, if not indefinitely,
36:37
Speaker 3: depending on how you know, how bad on the spectrum
36:40
Speaker 3: they were in terms of participating in this gambling. But yeah, no,
36:46
Speaker 3: I just think that they simply should be suspended and
36:49
Speaker 3: the schools themselves, unless proven otherwise, you know, they shouldn't.
36:53
Speaker 3: The schools themselves should not be you know, looked in
36:56
Speaker 3: a bad light unless they were involved. But either way,
37:01
Speaker 3: definitely a crazy situation.
37:02
Speaker 2: I've heard that this is a permanent tarnish, this is
37:07
Speaker 2: a stain on NCAA ball that will not be able
37:12
Speaker 2: to wash out. That there's skepticism, there's a stigma now
37:19
Speaker 2: that what can we trust even if we you know,
37:23
Speaker 2: we catch these guys, we penalize them, We set a
37:26
Speaker 2: precedence for others that are that are thinking about doing
37:31
Speaker 2: something like this. Hey, here's here's here's what the penalty
37:35
Speaker 2: is going to be. But how much of this, how
37:37
Speaker 2: much of this stuff is is going on right now
37:41
Speaker 2: under our eyes that we don't even see, we're not
37:44
Speaker 2: even aware of. What can we trust?
37:47
Speaker 3: I mean true considering considering a lot of some of
37:49
Speaker 3: these guys that were part of this, like this happened.
37:52
Speaker 3: Some of these guys did this back in like twenty three,
37:54
Speaker 3: twenty four, So you know, some of these guys were
37:57
Speaker 3: doing have been doing this for two years now, and
37:59
Speaker 3: now they're fine being caught.
38:00
Speaker 2: So yeah, and you know, the NBA stuff with the
38:04
Speaker 2: mob involved, you know, a couple was a couple of
38:07
Speaker 2: months ago. I mean, there's I don't know, maybe all
38:10
Speaker 2: that was crazy. I don't know.
38:13
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know it's hard to say, but I mean hopefully,
38:16
Speaker 3: like you know, hopefully that cleans up. Like if not,
38:20
Speaker 3: you know, like you said, you know, it's just gonna
38:22
Speaker 3: become like I mean, if like you know, obviously like
38:25
Speaker 3: if in some cases, like some of these players get
38:27
Speaker 3: straight up like you know, kicked out of the league.
38:29
Speaker 3: I mean again, that makes sense too, because you just
38:31
Speaker 3: shouldn't be gambling, especially sports betting, because like the thing is,
38:36
Speaker 3: these players themselves were being offered roughly like ten to
38:40
Speaker 3: thirty thousand dollars give or take to lose the games. Yeah,
38:44
Speaker 3: so then these people who were betting on them, who
38:46
Speaker 3: were paying them, like so for example, these like rich
38:49
Speaker 3: you know, these these sharks were like paying these players,
38:52
Speaker 3: you know, hey, I'll give you twenty thousand dollars to
38:54
Speaker 3: you know, lose, and then they would lose, and then
38:57
Speaker 3: that person that gave them twenty thousand dollars just cash
39:00
Speaker 3: made like a million dollars or close to a million
39:02
Speaker 3: right off just that one bet. So it's like you've
39:05
Speaker 3: got you've got like you know, like sharks basically making
39:08
Speaker 3: millions off of these players, and these players are being like, hey,
39:11
Speaker 3: I'm being off for twenty grand upfront just to lose
39:14
Speaker 3: this game. I'm gonna do it. It looks promising. So
39:17
Speaker 3: it's it's sad, but it's you know, it's really.
39:19
Speaker 2: Sad, but you know, and there's a difference between sports
39:23
Speaker 2: betting and flat out fraud and fixing games exactly. You know,
39:33
Speaker 2: we need to make sure that that gray area that
39:37
Speaker 2: we don't cross lines here. I mean, this is I
39:40
Speaker 2: don't know, man. It has left a bad taste in
39:44
Speaker 2: the mouth of many basketball fans and pardon the pun here,
39:49
Speaker 2: but I hope we can rebound. I really do, especially
39:53
Speaker 2: at the NCAA. You know, I don't know, man, I
39:57
Speaker 2: don't know.
39:57
Speaker 3: I mean, I still I still stand behind it. I
39:59
Speaker 3: don't think they're gonna stop march madness over this. But
40:02
Speaker 3: like you said, it's definitely it's definitely a big it's
40:04
Speaker 3: a big scandal. It's it's definitely gonna be like something
40:08
Speaker 3: that people will remember from probably like ten years from now,
40:11
Speaker 3: you know. So it's sad, and it sucks that it
40:15
Speaker 3: has to be, you know, especially it's sad. It's sad.
40:17
Speaker 3: It's more sad because it especially it's coming from all
40:19
Speaker 3: these young players. Yeah, it's like a lot of these
40:22
Speaker 3: guys are like eighteen to twenty years old, give a take,
40:26
Speaker 3: and so it's like, you know, they're probably gonna lose
40:29
Speaker 3: their opportunity to play ball. And it's like, you know,
40:31
Speaker 3: they probably you know, assuming you know, say, assuming some
40:35
Speaker 3: of these guys have been playing since they were fourteen
40:37
Speaker 3: years old, to give or take me fifteen, you know younger.
40:39
Speaker 3: It's like they've worked their way up to get to
40:42
Speaker 3: this point and now they're about to lose it all
40:44
Speaker 3: because they wanted to gamble. So it's sad.
40:46
Speaker 2: But it's money talks, man, money, money talks, and it's
40:51
Speaker 2: it's the root of all evil. So we'll see what happens. Man.
40:54
Speaker 2: But listen, brother, thank you so much for your time.
40:58
Speaker 2: Logan this morning, Saturday morning, this coming Saturday morning.

41:24
Speaker 2: Logan Loose, he gets so excited, so worked up Saturday morning,
41:28
Speaker 2: ten thirty, he'll be set in a beautiful stage for
41:34
Speaker 2: football this coming Saturday morning. Yeah, world news. I tried
41:43
Speaker 2: to look away from a lot of it this over
41:47
Speaker 2: the weekend. This morning, I had to look a little
41:50
Speaker 2: bit of it. Last night about seven forty five the
41:56
Speaker 2: news out of Spain about this railcrash, this high speed
42:02
Speaker 2: train collision. Thirty nine people confirmed dead. Efforts to recover
42:11
Speaker 2: the bodies are continuing. The death toll is likely to rise.
42:16
Speaker 2: Somebodies found as far away as several hundred feet from
42:21
Speaker 2: the crash. Seven last night, I think is when I
42:27
Speaker 2: started getting the pings on the phone about that horrible
42:32
Speaker 2: news man. What was it like, almost three hundred people
42:36
Speaker 2: on those trains. The news on Trump threatening eight European
42:45
Speaker 2: countries with ten tariffs starting in February for opposing US
42:53
Speaker 2: control of Greenland? What say you about this? Got an
43:00
Speaker 2: opinion that you dare to post this morning on that
43:17
Speaker 2: things are just so contentious? I mean, God, we have
43:22
Speaker 2: five thousand people killed in protests across Iran, including roughly
43:30
Speaker 2: five hundred security personnel. Human rights groups say they have
43:36
Speaker 2: verified over thirty nine hundred people dead, with potentially thousands
43:42
Speaker 2: more believed to be killed. The unrest is believed to
43:45
Speaker 2: be the deadliest since the country's Islamic Revolution back in
43:52
Speaker 2: nineteen seventy nine. Comes as President Donald Trump appears to
44:03
Speaker 2: have back down from threats to strike to run, though
44:10
Speaker 2: he reiterated calls for regime change on Saturday. Trump cited
44:18
Speaker 2: Iran's alleged decision to refrain from eight hundred planned executions
44:24
Speaker 2: in his decision to back down. However, the US last
44:29
Speaker 2: week dispatched an aircraft carrier, the USS Abraham Lincoln, which
44:36
Speaker 2: is going to take a couple of days to arrive
44:40
Speaker 2: in the Middle East, but it is on its way.
44:45
Speaker 2: US officials say another decision could come within weeks, maybe less.
44:55
Speaker 2: Iran right now into its twelfth day, maybe thirteenth day
45:02
Speaker 2: of a nationwide internet blackout. The video footage incredible, doubting
45:18
Speaker 2: highly that crowds on demand is able to get crowds
45:23
Speaker 2: into that area, especially for a few hundred bucks. Unreal.
45:33
Speaker 3: Man.
45:37
Speaker 2: Before I head out, let's give you a little bit
45:42
Speaker 2: of feel good because my god, man, I mean, it's

Speaker 2: We have a Let's give you something that warms the
46:00
Speaker 2: heart a little bit, and I'll put the link right
46:03
Speaker 2: up for you. We have a couple in Virginia that
46:08
Speaker 2: just had their dream wedding seven decades after they tied
46:16

Speaker 2: Francis and Harold Puff. I think is their last name.
46:36

Speaker 2: and friends, all the things that they never got to do.
47:04

47:09
Speaker 2: and the fact that they did this is just fantastic.
