Speaker 1: Oh you thought it was silly before the nonsense. As
0:06
Speaker 1: we're in the red zone before an election, it got
0:09
Speaker 1: even more ridiculous. And it's gonna continue. We'll get to
0:11
Speaker 1: all that crap. Absolutely, we'll talk to it. We'll give
0:13
Speaker 1: you an update on what's happening there. And there's early
0:15
Speaker 1: voting magnets. That's happening, but it's not about not all
0:17
Speaker 1: about politics. Thank god. American Airlines is stepping up there.
0:21
Speaker 1: They're shaming on what they call gate lice. No, not
0:25
Speaker 1: like you know the bugs in your hair, people who
0:27
Speaker 1: jump the line and they skip ahead when they're before
0:29
Speaker 1: their boarding group is actually called that's happening, which is good.
0:33
Speaker 1: My favorite story of the day Cindy Brady. Remember you
0:36
Speaker 1: know Susan Olsen, the actress, she may be Maga who
0:41
Speaker 1: saw that coming and she wanted her character in the
0:44
Speaker 1: reboot to be Mega Cindy Brady. That would have been fantastic,
0:49
Speaker 1: but of course the woke mind virus stepped up in
0:51
Speaker 1: the cancelor. She might have been actually, because this was
0:53
Speaker 1: quite a few years ago, she might have been one
0:55
Speaker 1: of the first people canceled out of Hollywood, and she
0:58
Speaker 1: was telling her story. We'll get to that as well.
1:00
Speaker 1: And this because we're getting closer and closer to spooky
1:03
Speaker 1: season and not just the election. America's scariest, most horrifying.
1:08
Speaker 1: Some have called it actually dangerous. Haunted houses back open
1:10
Speaker 1: at tennessee.
1:11
Speaker 2: What do you hear?
1:12
Speaker 1: The details about this thing? But anough of that, let's
1:14
Speaker 1: get to it. It's wicked Radio. Thanks for finding me hey,
1:16
Speaker 1: by the way, thanks for the follows on X by
1:19
Speaker 1: the way, where you can find this thing. Make sure
1:20
Speaker 1: you put your notifications on you know, when we go
1:22
Speaker 1: live every single day. Then it leaves us a post
1:25
Speaker 1: on there and on YouTube, and then the audio podcast
1:27
Speaker 1: on Apple and Spotify as well. And I appreciate your time
1:29
Speaker 1: so much. But let's get to the stuff, shall we.
1:32
Speaker 1: Ah way in to the politics in a minute. But
1:34
Speaker 1: I love this because we've all complained about it, and
1:36
Speaker 1: I can say as somebody that's flown a decent amount,
1:39
Speaker 1: you know, not as much as a lot of business travelers,
1:41
Speaker 1: probably not as much as a lot of you. We
1:44
Speaker 1: have a lot of pet peeves with airlines. We all
1:46
Speaker 1: do right well American Airlines, and I congratulate them for
1:49
Speaker 1: trying to do something. They're stepping up and they're actually
1:53
Speaker 1: shaming line skippers. They're testing out a new system at
1:56
Speaker 1: select airports, some of the bigger ones, I think Chicago, LA,
2:00
Speaker 1: one of the New York airports. I think Boston's involved
2:02
Speaker 1: to here's what they're gonna do. They're gonna flag people
2:05
Speaker 1: who are trying to board before the group has been called.
2:09
Speaker 1: And we've all dealt with them, right, they're all, like,
2:11
Speaker 1: you know, boarding group one through through three. But the
2:16
Speaker 1: people who are in like seven try to edge ahead
2:18
Speaker 1: and then they wait there and the bags are too big.
2:20
Speaker 1: Those people, well, they're to ensure, they say, American says,
2:23
Speaker 1: the customers receive the benefits of priority boarding. They're gonna
2:27
Speaker 1: shame them. An alert will go off when people do this,
2:31
Speaker 1: and it'll say step back in the line, not too bad.
2:35
Speaker 1: This is an amazing part to it. I had no idea.
2:36
Speaker 1: The story I'm getting this from actually has some quotes
2:41
Speaker 1: from American Airlines employees, and they have a term for them.
2:44
Speaker 1: They call the people that do that that jump ahead
2:46
Speaker 1: they try to skip their boarding priority group gate lice.
2:51
Speaker 1: What really, Eric, You start to wonder, like what some
2:55
Speaker 1: of the other inside industry stuff, what some of the
2:57
Speaker 1: other names for us are gate lice? All right? You know,
3:01
Speaker 1: I give American Airlines credit for trying to step up
3:04
Speaker 1: and do something, because we've all complained, right, like where's
3:06
Speaker 1: the customer service? You know? You get treated like cattle,
3:09
Speaker 1: you get treated like sheep. Everything's always screwed up. You
3:12
Speaker 1: get to the gate should be a simple process, and
3:14
Speaker 1: it's messed up because of people like the gate lis.
3:17
Speaker 1: I congratulate them for trying to do something. Common sense
3:21
Speaker 1: would tell you this is probably gonna lead to more fights.
3:24
Speaker 1: The gate liights aren't going to want to be called out,
3:27
Speaker 1: and they're gonna get in fights with it the other
3:28
Speaker 1: people who are accusing them or being gate lies, and
3:30
Speaker 1: they're gonna get in fights with the airline employees.
3:33
Speaker 2: I don't know.
3:33
Speaker 1: I wonder too what the gate agents how they feel
3:35
Speaker 1: about this. I bet you it would surprise you that
3:38
Speaker 1: they're probably against this. They're like, oh no, not another rule. No,
3:42
Speaker 1: even though it sounds fun. They can press a little
3:44
Speaker 1: button step back gate lice. That probably makes them, probably
3:49
Speaker 1: puts them on the hot seat a little bit more.
3:51
Speaker 1: I don't know.
3:52
Speaker 2: We'll see.
3:52
Speaker 1: All right, we got to do it because we're in
3:55
Speaker 1: full on silly season before this election. We are truly
3:58
Speaker 1: in the red zone less than two weeks now. I mean,
4:00
Speaker 1: it is, it is, it is on. You thought it
4:02
Speaker 1: was silly before. Oh no, no, no, no, no, no,
4:05
Speaker 1: it's it's it's gotten even worse. Some good stuff to
4:08
Speaker 1: talk about. But then all the okay, so all the
4:10
Speaker 1: celebrities are out. Now you got em and m introducing
4:14
Speaker 1: Kamala Harrison Detroit. He got that going on. Obama's back.
4:19
Speaker 1: We'll talk about him in a second. You've got all
4:21
Speaker 1: the new hoaxes are out. Where do you see what
4:23
Speaker 1: comes out this weekend? It's gonna be it. It is
4:25
Speaker 1: full on hoax season. So apparently this has already been
4:28
Speaker 1: d hoax debunked. There's some sort of a story that's
4:30
Speaker 1: been floating out there that Trump disparaged another military person.
4:36
Speaker 1: I don't know. Everybody, including relatives of the military person,
4:39
Speaker 1: are saying it's not true. I don't know. Just get
4:41
Speaker 1: ready for all that stuff and get ready for more
4:44
Speaker 1: of this guy, so that you know how that you
4:46
Speaker 1: know one of the campaigns is really desperate. When they
4:50
Speaker 1: start to look into some of the numbers, they bring
4:53
Speaker 1: out the heaviest hitters of all. I didn't see Barack
4:56
Speaker 1: Obama campaigning even this much for Biden. Remember the famous
5:00
Speaker 1: that got leaked out by a reporter that was in
5:02
Speaker 1: the room. This actually was a true story. They even
5:05
Speaker 1: told Obama told Biden, Joe, you don't have to do this.
5:09
Speaker 1: They knew, they knew what he was, they knew they're
5:12
Speaker 1: going to have to pull out all the stops to
5:14
Speaker 1: try to get this guy elected. And it actually worked
5:16
Speaker 1: for them. But he is hitting it hard for Kamala Harris.
5:20
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you just my senses. He probably didn't
5:22
Speaker 1: want to, but there he was, there, he was on
5:25
Speaker 1: the road.
5:26
Speaker 2: I don't understand how we got so toxic and just
5:30
Speaker 2: oh so.
5:31
Speaker 1: Divide and so bitter. And I get why sometimes people
5:34
Speaker 1: just don't want to pay attention to you. You don't Barack
5:37
Speaker 1: Obama doesn't understand how we got so toxic? Right, Well,
5:41
Speaker 1: I got a couple of ideas, you know, spying an
5:43
Speaker 1: American citizens, turning the Patriot Act onto the going after
5:47
Speaker 1: weaponizing the Department of Justice, that was one of them.
5:49
Speaker 1: The real start of DEI diversity, equity and inclusion in
5:53
Speaker 1: corporate America. That I was twenty eleven, that was during
5:56
Speaker 1: his tury. That's when it all started with a Wokes
5:59
Speaker 1: and they went after a Manamerican citizens. Let's see, there
6:01
Speaker 1: was that he wouldn't say Christmas. Remember that wouldn't do that,
6:04
Speaker 1: that'd see that. That was a big divide. Yeah, and
6:08
Speaker 1: basically an already corrupt news media got super corrupt during
6:12
Speaker 1: hers to his term. The irony is thick with this guy.
6:16
Speaker 1: I don't understand why we got so divided. Well, because
6:20
Speaker 1: you did it, Barry, It was you mostly. And then
6:22
Speaker 1: they actually did this. This was again on stage on
6:25
Speaker 1: the road campaigning for Kamala Harris the gall to actually
6:28
Speaker 1: come out with this one. So he's making fun of
6:30
Speaker 1: Trump in a number of different ways. He decided, no,
6:34
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna answer a question anymore. Let's just play
6:37
Speaker 1: music for half an out.
6:40
Speaker 2: So he's standing there and he's swaying ave Maria ymca.
6:47
Speaker 1: So my point is you'd be worried if Grandpa was
6:54
Speaker 1: acting like this. Oh, they actually they were actually coming
7:00
Speaker 1: out with that. He actually had the gall and the
7:02
Speaker 1: nerve to say that as they pushed onto us, they
7:05
Speaker 1: propped up a cadaver, a decomposing dementia patient for four years,
7:11
Speaker 1: and then they're actually calling Trump Grandpa. I don't care
7:15
Speaker 1: what you think of Trump, but if you're gonna tell
7:17
Speaker 1: me he's like any other grandpa at his age, you're
7:19
Speaker 1: out of your mind and you haven't been paying attention.
7:21
Speaker 1: But they know that. Obama knows that, and of course
7:23
Speaker 1: he's saying that. But there's enough people, certainly in that audience,
7:26
Speaker 1: and enough people out there early voting, mail in voting,
7:30
Speaker 1: or on election day who will absolutely believe it. So
7:32
Speaker 1: you'll hear that a lot today. You might hear that
7:34
Speaker 1: at the office today. Did you Trump is getting so old?
7:38
Speaker 1: He's looking and sounding so old? Oh? Barack Obama told
7:42
Speaker 1: me so that. They actually called Trump grandpa after what
7:46
Speaker 1: we experienced with Biden, like they think that, like normal
7:48
Speaker 1: people forgot. Biden's still out there by the way, saying
7:52
Speaker 1: they should put Trump in jail. Okay, all right, they
7:55
Speaker 1: haven't been able to put Joe in the basement quite yet,
7:57
Speaker 1: but they brought up Barry Obama to make sure everybody knows.
8:00
Speaker 1: It's just an incredible I'm telling you, it's silly. It's
8:04
Speaker 1: it's super silly season. Now, it's it's one of the
8:07
Speaker 1: most intense, it probably is the most intense election of
8:10
Speaker 1: all time. Right and now with where we are. It's
8:13
Speaker 1: it's only just begun, but this has begun too, speaking
8:17
Speaker 1: of beginning literally, so the early voting situation. So even
8:20
Speaker 1: the political nerds, apparently to a person, and I'm not
8:25
Speaker 1: just talking about the right leaning posters or the left
8:28
Speaker 1: leaning posters and the ones in the middle, whoever the
8:30
Speaker 1: hell they are, all of them, to an organization and
8:33
Speaker 1: an individual, they seem to be pretty shocked by the
8:35
Speaker 1: voting early voting turnout. And this is interesting because I
8:38
Speaker 1: don't think we've seen these numbers quite yet to this degree.
8:44
Speaker 1: And you can put me in that camp, and you
8:45
Speaker 1: might be like that too. We got to have paper ballots,
8:49
Speaker 1: voter I D make election day a holiday and make
8:53
Speaker 1: it law. You have to decide this election on that day.
8:56
Speaker 1: That's it. On election Day, no more than nonsense. But
8:59
Speaker 1: we all know in the meantime we got to work
9:00
Speaker 1: within the system that we actually have. So early voting
9:03
Speaker 1: is a thing. And here's my completely total anecdotal, observational,
9:09
Speaker 1: non scientific, with my eyeballs only observation about early voting.
9:12
Speaker 1: Where I am in Florida, driving past for the past
9:15
Speaker 1: two days a couple of different sites. The lines are
9:17
Speaker 1: out the door. It is that matches up real life observation,
9:23
Speaker 1: matches up with all the what the political nerds are
9:25
Speaker 1: actually saying, and if what they're saying turns out to
9:28
Speaker 1: be true, we've got a real, real interesting situation to
9:34
Speaker 1: consider here for election day coming up on the fifth.
9:37
Speaker 1: So they had been saying mainly because states like Pennsylvania
9:41
Speaker 1: came up and they said we may not have our
9:43
Speaker 1: election results for two days until two days afterwards, but
9:47
Speaker 1: they did, in fact in the early voting factor. We
9:49
Speaker 1: mentioned this guy before on the live stream Mark Halpern.
9:52
Speaker 1: It's pretty unbiased. I don't know what his political affiliation is,
9:56
Speaker 1: but he's one of the few that's actually done a
9:57
Speaker 1: really good job as a as a political person who
10:01
Speaker 1: just tries to stick to the analytics. He's the one
10:03
Speaker 1: you might remember who correctly predicted almost to the day
10:06
Speaker 1: when they were going to force Biden out and push
10:08
Speaker 1: ahead Kamala Harris. He's been right about a lot of stuff,
10:12
Speaker 1: and he's a very smart guy. Fascinating to hear what
10:15
Speaker 1: he says about this early voting thing, and this goes
10:17
Speaker 1: completely against what they told us even what like two
10:20
Speaker 1: weeks ago. But again, make no mistake, if these numbers
10:23
Speaker 1: hold up in the states where we can understand even
10:26
Speaker 1: partially what the data is, like, we'll know that Donald
10:29
Speaker 1: Trump's going to be president on election day? Can you imagine?
10:33
Speaker 1: Really and you've seen it, you know, to maybe you
10:36
Speaker 1: don't know what to make of the polls, but early
10:38
Speaker 1: voting seems to be at least they say that it's
10:40
Speaker 1: more accurate than what the exit polls are. I don't know,
10:45
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. Could be it wouldn't surprise me.
10:47
Speaker 1: And again, I'm just matching that up with my what
10:50
Speaker 1: my eyeball see, you know, in the state of Florida anyway,
10:52
Speaker 1: and they're saying there are stories of like that in
10:55
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania and some of the other states. We'll see. One
11:00
Speaker 1: thing that shocked the hell out of me though, was
11:02
Speaker 1: to find this out. But then he actually like kind
11:04
Speaker 1: of listened to her for a little bit and you
11:05
Speaker 1: find out that she actually did some talk radio. All right,
11:08
Speaker 1: maybe it would make maybe it would make sense that
11:10
Speaker 1: Susan Olsen, the lady that played Little Cindy Brady on
11:13
Speaker 1: The Brady Bunch. Is any of you too young watching
11:17
Speaker 1: right now that don't know about The Brady Bunch, You're
11:20
Speaker 1: gonna have to spend this upcoming weekend and watch some
11:22
Speaker 1: old episodes. I'm sorry, it's required viewing for this live stream.
11:25
Speaker 1: So Susan Olsen played Cindy Brady, as it turns out,
11:28
Speaker 1: is a libertarian, and she's gone full on maga apparently.
11:33
Speaker 1: And do you remember they get the details on this
11:35
Speaker 1: because it was on HGTV. They had like a little uh,
11:38
Speaker 1: they have kind of like a little get together, the
11:41
Speaker 1: very Brady renovation. Remember that they fixed up the original
11:44
Speaker 1: Brady Bunch house. It was a huge success. It was
11:48
Speaker 1: like massive. I remember watching that. It was back in
11:50
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. CBS did it and they were a very
11:53
Speaker 1: interested in a revival getting everybody back because they got
11:56
Speaker 1: everybody for that one, right, So they're going ahead and
11:59
Speaker 1: remember this is twenty ten nineteen. In the meantime after that,
12:03
Speaker 1: she had done a podcast, she had done some talk radio,
12:07
Speaker 1: and twenty nineteen was really it started in the early
12:11
Speaker 1: early twenty tens, but twenty nineteen was like the height
12:13
Speaker 1: of the Wolf cancelation era. Like some very very big
12:15
Speaker 1: people bigger than Cindy Brady got canceled. Well apparently, as
12:21
Speaker 1: they get ready to put this thing together and they
12:23
Speaker 1: had treatments written up, and they had scripts for like
12:25
Speaker 1: a like a regular Brady Bunch sitcom like Ready to Go.
12:30
Speaker 1: We didn't get it because they canceled her and apparently
12:34
Speaker 1: some others they looked back into and they did a
12:37
Speaker 1: character research study. All they did was like look up,
12:40
Speaker 1: you know, fifty pages online of things she had said
12:42
Speaker 1: apparently on talk radio LA and on a podcast and
12:46
Speaker 1: done some other interviews and coming out of COVID as well.
12:51
Speaker 1: A little bit after that. They were not happy with
12:54
Speaker 1: the results. So she goes on Brandon Straka, he's the
12:57
Speaker 1: walk I've interviewed Brandon before in Radio d He's great,
13:00
Speaker 1: he's got that walk away movement. On the walk Away podcast,
13:04
Speaker 1: Eddie was talking to Susan Nelson about the about the
13:07
Speaker 1: entire experience. So do they do the research study on
13:10
Speaker 1: what she's all about? And that's what robbed us of
13:13
Speaker 1: a Brady Bunch reunion sitcom.
13:16
Speaker 2: Here's she And the the resounding result was, no, we
13:23
Speaker 2: cannot have her in a show. If we go forward
13:26
Speaker 2: with this project, it will not be with her.
13:30
Speaker 1: She was one of the first, She really was one
13:33
Speaker 1: of the first big cancelations, and we didn't even know
13:36
Speaker 1: I didn't it makes that she's maggot. Oh by the way,
13:38
Speaker 1: she went on later in the interview and she says, no,
13:39
Speaker 1: she's full on Magan now started off as a libertarian,
13:43
Speaker 1: full on Maga Trump supporter now, probably because of Bobby
13:46
Speaker 1: Kennedy and Nicole she had had How great would it be?
13:51
Speaker 1: The reason why she wanted to do it was and
13:53
Speaker 1: this why it became an issue. She thought as adult kids,
13:57
Speaker 1: the Brady Bunch kids, they're adults now, they've had life experience,
14:01
Speaker 1: and they would have get together as family reunions or
14:03
Speaker 1: even like Sunday dinner and they would, of course you
14:05
Speaker 1: got to talk about current events of what's going on
14:07
Speaker 1: in the world, and Cindy Brady would roll in there
14:09
Speaker 1: and she'd start talking to maybe she would come in
14:11
Speaker 1: with like a Maga hat. It would be awesome. How
14:14
Speaker 1: great would that show have been? But no, gutlass Hollywood
14:18
Speaker 1: robbed us of that and not taken this away from
14:20
Speaker 1: us though, although they tried to cancel it. Have you
14:22
Speaker 1: ever heard of the scariest haunted house in America? It's
14:27
Speaker 1: gotten worldwide attention and they've tried to actually shut it
14:30
Speaker 1: down many times. It's called mccainey manor, and it's in Tennessee.
14:38
Speaker 1: How do I describe this because I've actually I've actually
14:41
Speaker 1: talked to people that have tried to complete this and
14:43
Speaker 1: apparently nobody, nobody has ever completed it. It's dubbed a
14:47
Speaker 1: torture chamber in disguise, and the owner has been probed
14:51
Speaker 1: for traumatizing guests before, but he's gotten clearance from his
14:54
Speaker 1: local county at Tennessee. At its back, What does this
14:57
Speaker 1: thing sound like? That's really intense that I don't think
15:04
Speaker 1: anyone knows what they're in for if they go here.
15:07
Speaker 1: So here it is. Guests have been submerged in water,
15:12
Speaker 1: trapped in small boxes, tormented by tarantulas. It's been continuously
15:19
Speaker 1: dogged by complaints, as you can imagine. Here's the thing, though,
15:23
Speaker 1: maybe this will pique your interest in it. Anybody who
15:26
Speaker 1: finishes the entire experience, And again the guy who runs it,
15:28
Speaker 1: mister mccainey, says, nobody ever has. You're rewarded with twenty
15:32
Speaker 1: thousand bucks. Twenty thousand would you still do it? He
15:38
Speaker 1: told the Daily Mail? Because Europe is fascinated with this.
15:41
Speaker 1: His is his quote. You actually complete the tour, which
15:44
Speaker 1: is not going to happen or you mentally or physically
15:47
Speaker 1: or at such a breaking point that it's not safe
15:49
Speaker 1: to continue. And I need to take you out.
15:52
Speaker 2: Now. I'm out.
15:54
Speaker 1: And I love all things Halloween. I love it. I
15:56
Speaker 1: love the macabre. I love dark things. I don't know
