5:28
Speaker 2: we catch Bosnia as opposed to the Netherlands possible? Yes, yeah, yes,
5:35
Speaker 2: everyone can stay a little bit happier. One of the
5:37
Speaker 2: things that they're experiencing here in the United States, they
5:40
Speaker 2: might not be familiar with the concept of air conditioning.
5:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's the ranch stressing, it's the it's
5:48
Speaker 1: the barbecue, it's the refillable sodas and universal AC. AC.
5:53
Speaker 6: You have never seen so many people leave the United
5:57
Speaker 6: States and go back to their home countries and go
5:59
Speaker 6: on TikTok and complain about how they cannot sleep because
6:03
Speaker 6: they don't have AC anymore, and the TikTok themes, and
6:07
Speaker 6: they're also using you know, funny like little sound clips
6:10
Speaker 6: over their video and they're reenacting it.
6:12
Speaker 2: But it wreck them, Yes, it wreck them because as
6:15
Speaker 2: soon as you get into this environment where everywhere you
6:19
Speaker 2: go can be as cold as you want it, to
6:21
Speaker 2: be comfortable as you want it, then you have to
6:24
Speaker 2: go back over to Europe.
6:25
Speaker 1: Where they are outlawing air condition.
6:28
Speaker 2: That's the thing. Not only is AC not universal and
6:31
Speaker 2: you're saying you can't even.
6:33
Speaker 1: They're taking it away?
6:36
Speaker 2: What on earth is that?
6:38
Speaker 1: You know? It's it's the hippies, you know, doing their
6:40
Speaker 1: thing you have.
6:42
Speaker 2: I was reading something about France over the weeks. France
6:45
Speaker 2: got a heat wave everywhere, but there's got a heatwave,
6:47
Speaker 2: but France has already lost a thousand people. Phase people
6:50
Speaker 2: have died because it's hot. Yeah, that's because don't have
6:56
Speaker 2: universe ly see, it.
6:58
Speaker 1: Is so hot in France that the citizens are actually
7:01
Speaker 1: considering using the n.
7:06
Speaker 2: I knew you were gonna come on there. You couldn't
7:10
Speaker 2: get away with that here. No, in no universe would
7:14
Speaker 2: you be able to it.
7:15
Speaker 1: I mean, well, the only thing you could you the
7:18
Speaker 1: only thing you could equate it to. Yeah, if you
7:20
Speaker 1: tried to take air conditioning away from the masses, I
7:23
Speaker 1: think it would be like trying to disarm the masses.
7:26
Speaker 1: And I think you'd have to disarm us before you
7:28
Speaker 1: could take the air conditioning.
7:30
Speaker 2: I can tell you this.
7:30
Speaker 6: Texas would succeed before they have to take away, we
7:33
Speaker 6: would be out of here.
7:35
Speaker 1: That would be the breaking point text it would happen.
7:37
Speaker 2: Come and take it. Just read you the flag, put.
7:39
Speaker 1: It on that you get a sponsored.
7:43
Speaker 2: All jokes aside, could you, I mean, could you actually
7:48
Speaker 2: go backwards to where? Because again it's one thing when
7:52
Speaker 2: you were in the nineteen hundreds, right, Yeah, and okay,
7:57
Speaker 2: the movie theater had it, you know, maybe a couple
7:59
Speaker 2: of places in town. But for the most part, it
8:02
Speaker 2: was a luxury and you weren't used.
8:03
Speaker 1: To You opened your windows and your doors.
8:05
Speaker 2: If you got a breeze, Yeah, you didn't know any different.
8:07
Speaker 2: Where was it hot? Heck, yeah it was hot. Was
8:09
Speaker 2: everyone's sweating probably, but you didn't know any different.
8:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, could you go back not suddenly? Yeah, maybe gradually
8:18
Speaker 1: people Maybe gradually you're gonna lose a lot of folks.
8:21
Speaker 2: You lose so many people, all like, so many people,
8:25
Speaker 2: like that's the others, like once you get above what
8:28
Speaker 2: you'd think seventy maybe real.
8:31
Speaker 1: It depends on how those people grew up.
8:33
Speaker 2: They were hard. If they were out living on the ranch.
8:36
Speaker 1: My ninety three year old stepmother's still out mowing her lawn.
8:38
Speaker 2: That's in the summer time. That's a good point.
8:41
Speaker 6: You also have to think though nowadays, like babies, when
8:43
Speaker 6: babies are born, when they get too hot, they can't
8:45
Speaker 6: control their bodies, and it would not be safe for me.
8:48
Speaker 2: They can't thermoregulate. You're right, what do you do in
8:51
Speaker 2: a hospital if you're going to ban ase.
8:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good question.
8:54
Speaker 2: Like did they get a pass? They'd have to because
8:57
Speaker 2: like otherwise that's a that's a nightmare. Buildings aren't even
9:02
Speaker 2: built for this anymore.
9:04
Speaker 1: He used to build home big thick walls made of
9:07
Speaker 1: thick stone that would insulate you from the heat.
9:10
Speaker 2: And then they'd you'd have you'd build it based on
9:12
Speaker 2: how air would move.
9:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, the dog trot? How do you go to work?
9:17
Speaker 2: How is people in Europe they have skyscrapers like we do.
9:22
Speaker 2: How do you go work?
9:23
Speaker 1: You have to re engineer your whole society, the.
9:25
Speaker 2: Whole the whole thing has to change. Bonkers.
9:29
Speaker 1: So now let's just get rid of it. Sounds like
9:30
Speaker 1: a good idea.
9:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, why not again? Things that you would things you
9:36
Speaker 2: would just love to see someone say over here to
9:40
Speaker 2: see what the reaction would end up being. Don't tempt
9:43
Speaker 2: sixteen twenty ninety four to five WTAW or the infomaniacs
9:47
Speaker 2: Remember Carlus Texas. We love hearing from you guys nine
9:50
Speaker 2: seven nine six nine five sixteen twenty. You know we
9:53
Speaker 2: all know who came Brown is. I don't have to
9:55
Speaker 2: explain it. I of him country country music singers.
10:00
Speaker 6: He is kind of country.
10:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, in the sense that he has played on country
10:06
Speaker 2: music radio stage. I consider Kane country like mostly because
10:10
Speaker 2: he's just a country guy. If you've ever hear that,
10:12
Speaker 2: that's just he's he counts for me. But he was
10:16
Speaker 2: on a podcast recently talking about like friendships as a
10:22
Speaker 2: famous person, specifically as him, which we might hear from
10:28
Speaker 2: at some point or not.
10:31
Speaker 1: I just read out, think it's awesome.
10:33
Speaker 2: Come on, Caine.
10:35
Speaker 1: I just went to look him up right, Yeah, what
10:38
Speaker 1: I is?
10:40
Speaker 4: He?
10:40
Speaker 2: Okay, he's great, He's doing fine. Is there a problem?
10:44
Speaker 1: On Tuesday, June twenty third, twenty twenty six, okay, Caine
10:48
Speaker 1: Brown was struck in the head by a golf ball
10:51
Speaker 1: hit by a friend.
10:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, he got fighting the ear.
10:54
Speaker 1: Dude Paul, traveling one hundred and fifty hundred and eighty
10:56
Speaker 1: miles an hour, hit him in the ear, split his ear,
10:59
Speaker 1: significant swell, oh minor concussion, twenty three stitches mm hmm.
11:03
Speaker 1: He's been vocal on social media expressing how glad he
11:06
Speaker 1: is to be here, as doctors told him, it could
11:08
Speaker 1: have been much worse. Absolutely had the ball struck a
11:10
Speaker 1: different part of his head.
11:12
Speaker 2: Crazy.
11:12
Speaker 7: I think it's awesome that my job's got me where
11:14
Speaker 7: I can hang out with Pat and just be friends
11:16
Speaker 7: with him, and that's a cool dude.
11:18
Speaker 1: And he's normal.
11:19
Speaker 2: And that's another thing.
11:20
Speaker 7: That I also love because a lot of people have egos.
11:22
Speaker 2: I shut down around that.
11:24
Speaker 7: I relate more to athletes because I wanted to be
11:28
Speaker 7: an athlete and I like the competitive aspect of that,
11:31
Speaker 7: like going to golf with Pat s. Yeah, I feel
11:33
Speaker 7: like I have more athlete friends and I do musician friends.
11:36
Speaker 7: I feel alone in the music world.
11:39
Speaker 2: So he was like, he's referring to Pat Mahomes, Okay,
11:42
Speaker 2: good friends with him? Was Pat with him when he
11:44
Speaker 2: got drilled in the year. It doesn't want to Pat
11:47
Speaker 2: the guy that drilled him in the.
11:49
Speaker 1: That would be well, at least you know, your medical
11:51
Speaker 1: bills would be covered.
11:52
Speaker 2: But yeah, he was talking about how he's basically uncomfortable
11:55
Speaker 2: with other musicians because musicians have egos and athletes somehow,
11:59
Speaker 2: don't have you forgotten that? Um, quite the opposite, That's
12:04
Speaker 2: what I was I was wondering, like, again, I don't know,
12:07
Speaker 2: I've never met Patrick Mahomes. He could be the most
12:10
Speaker 2: normal guy on the planet. That's great, but yeah, it
12:13
Speaker 2: just seems like I don't think you get a break
12:16
Speaker 2: on the ego.
12:17
Speaker 1: I don't think so.
12:18
Speaker 2: Like I think as soon as you're famous, you get
12:20
Speaker 2: the ego regardless of how you got For the most part.
12:22
Speaker 1: I mean there's there's exceptions.
12:24
Speaker 6: My opinion of it is is I guess he likes
12:27
Speaker 6: having an athlete as a friendship because they don't expect
12:29
Speaker 6: anything from you.
12:30
Speaker 2: Maybe because it's.
12:31
Speaker 6: Not like Patrick Mahomes is gonna me you never know
12:34
Speaker 6: you just like he's gonna go.
12:35
Speaker 1: Drop up can this round?
12:37
Speaker 2: Well, just like no one's gonna hit you up for
12:39
Speaker 2: a collabse like if you're if you're hanging out with
12:42
Speaker 2: another country music there you go perform. You know, they
12:45
Speaker 2: might really just want you to uh jump on this track.
12:48
Speaker 6: Or yeah, you know it's genuine.
12:50
Speaker 1: By the way, Kane Brown has intentionally chosen not to
12:53
Speaker 1: name the person who hit the ball, which means it was.
12:55
Speaker 2: Patrick mcat.
12:57
Speaker 1: Absolutely one of his own buddies play in his group.
13:00
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna name any names mentioned. His friend feels
13:04
Speaker 1: terrible about the incident.
13:06
Speaker 2: That's the last person you want to just pull a
13:09
Speaker 2: driver right in your ear, Like it's not like me,
13:12
Speaker 2: Like I'm very I'm not gonna cause any damage.
13:15
Speaker 1: Hundred and fifty right, might be on the low end
13:17
Speaker 1: of that.
13:17
Speaker 2: My home, My homes can crank one.
13:19
Speaker 1: I bets, so good night.
13:21
Speaker 2: Speaking of athletes without egos, I don't know Miles Garrett.
13:25
Speaker 2: I always felt like he was pretty low key.
13:27
Speaker 1: He got the chance to meet him, ran into him
13:29
Speaker 1: at the Best Buy here and my oldest daughter, yes, spy. Yeah,
13:33
Speaker 1: he was in there with like his roommates and they
13:35
Speaker 1: were getting video game stuff. Apparently he was a big
13:38
Speaker 1: video game kind of a nerd from what I gather.
13:41
Speaker 1: That's what I very into the dinosaurs. Yeah, so I
13:44
Speaker 1: tried to take a picture of him and my oldest
13:46
Speaker 1: and I really had to adjust the camera because he
13:49
Speaker 1: was like nine feet taller than her.
13:50
Speaker 2: He's a monster. He's a monster of a man.
13:54
Speaker 1: Yeah. For the first time over the weekend, I saw
13:57
Speaker 1: him in the Chase master card commercial.
14:00
Speaker 2: With this is because I saw this commercial which I'm
14:03
Speaker 2: gonna play for you right now. It's Tim and his
14:05
Speaker 2: girlfriend Chloe Kim, who's a again very big deal on
14:08
Speaker 2: her own right to like Olympic everything.
14:11
Speaker 3: I don't understand the red.
14:12
Speaker 1: Cards so confusing.
14:14
Speaker 2: That's think of cords and football as the opposite to
14:17
Speaker 2: your Sapphire was of cod. So they're watching a little
14:19
Speaker 2: soccer and you know, and then all of a sudden,
14:21
Speaker 2: you know, this girl comes in and sells him a
14:23
Speaker 2: credit card. Right, it's a chase, Like a chase, reward
14:26
Speaker 2: redcords may get hard a few points.
14:28
Speaker 5: This card answers three times the points I'm dining.
14:30
Speaker 1: Thank you.
14:31
Speaker 2: Also, you get a three hundred dollars credit on travel
14:34
Speaker 2: you ready? Yeah? And I think the reason I didn't
14:37
Speaker 2: because I was like, oh, that guy looks like Miles Garrett.
14:39
Speaker 1: He was so natural.
14:41
Speaker 2: That was what threw me is because he looks like
14:43
Speaker 2: he's been doing this forever his entire life.
14:46
Speaker 1: He looks like an actor. That was just this massive man.
14:49
Speaker 2: I've never seen him in a commercial ever, no ever,
14:52
Speaker 2: which is weird considering how successful he's been.
14:55
Speaker 1: Well, remember the market he was in, Yeah, he was
14:57
Speaker 1: in a he was in Cleveland, a media a black hole.
15:01
Speaker 2: Just an everything black hole. To be honest with you,
15:04
Speaker 2: no one wants to be stuck in Cleveland. Buddy became
15:06
Speaker 2: the all time sacks leaders, set records, and now he's
15:10
Speaker 2: in LA and now all of a sudden they're gonna
15:12
Speaker 2: throw him on Cameraich, they should, but he looks like
15:15
Speaker 2: a He looks like a flippin' natural.
15:18
Speaker 1: You know. Back in the day, it was not uncommon
15:22
Speaker 1: for football players to become actors.
15:25
Speaker 2: I know, I know that people say that. The only
15:28
Speaker 2: one I know that comes to mind is not Simpson.
15:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, OJ, it was huge.
15:35
Speaker 2: John Jay was as big of an arguably bigger of
15:39
Speaker 2: a deal in pop culture and acting than he ended
15:42
Speaker 2: up being on the field.
15:44
Speaker 1: It was undeniable. Yeah, right, So I went to the AI, yeah,
15:47
Speaker 1: to look for former NFL football players who became actors.
15:52
Speaker 1: Guess who was left off the list? Who? Oj?
15:55
Speaker 2: They just scrubbed him, scrubbed him.
15:56
Speaker 1: He's a race.
15:57
Speaker 2: I appreciate that he as an actor. Oh my gosh,
16:00
Speaker 2: that's what happens.
16:01
Speaker 1: That's what happens.
16:02
Speaker 6: Yeah.
16:02
Speaker 1: He started with the Hurts commercials where he was hurtling things.
16:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, And then I went from commercials to
16:07
Speaker 2: what Airplane NA could? He could gun a couple other
16:11
Speaker 2: projects like that that wasn't serious acting. But he was
16:14
Speaker 2: famous for his movie. He was famous for being on TV,
16:17
Speaker 2: famous for being in the movies.
16:19
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of them, though, Jim Brown maybe
16:21
Speaker 1: the greatest player NFL.
16:23
Speaker 2: I remember seeing Jim Brown in some stuff thirty dozen.
16:26
Speaker 1: He was you know, that's where I first saw him.
16:27
Speaker 1: He was in several others. Carl Weathers, Apollo Cree.
16:30
Speaker 2: Carl Weathers wasn't a football player.
16:32
Speaker 1: It was linebacker for the Raiders.
16:34
Speaker 2: He was a professional football player.
16:35
Speaker 1: He was a professional football player. Wow, Terry Crews see
16:39
Speaker 1: all over the place now. Alex Carris. I remember Alex

16:47
Speaker 2: Well, okay, so these are a lot of good names.

16:58
Speaker 1: was in Little House on the Prairie, Father Murphy, Buba
17:01
Speaker 1: Smith and Police Academy.
17:02
Speaker 2: So is the reason that they don't do this anymore
17:06
Speaker 2: because OJ? Because post OJ, you don't really see it
17:13
Speaker 2: all you'll see him do ads. But a name a
17:17
Speaker 2: football player that's been in something.
17:19
Speaker 1: I think as an actor recently, I think there is
17:21
Speaker 1: the OJ theory that's out.
17:22
Speaker 2: There, curse of the Juice.
17:24
Speaker 1: I will argue that it is the fact that these
17:27
Speaker 1: guys are making so much more money in the NFL
17:29
Speaker 1: now that they don't have to have a second career.
17:31
Speaker 2: That's a good point. They don't need to do anything else. Again,

17:48
Speaker 1: team for a cup of coffee or so you're going

36:13
Speaker 1: have Blazing Saddles Speed Spaceballs.
36:15
Speaker 2: At one and two, Young Frankenstein. I'd put three.
