- 1:33Speaker 2: All right. I'm feeling eight. You're an eight out of ten?
- 1:36Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 1:37Speaker 2: I love this. You did some yard work again today.
- 1:39Speaker 2: Yard work. I just house love. Yeah.
- 1:43Speaker 7: It's the greatest thing that I own, so I need
- 1:45Speaker 7: to take care of it. I ran two and.
- 1:47Speaker 2: A half miles. I love this new passion for house
- 1:50Speaker 2: stuff that you have. You and I had a good
- 1:52Speaker 2: little conversation before the show today. Regarding house stuff, I
- 1:55Speaker 2: love the fact that you're getting involved with this. This
- 1:57Speaker 2: is really positive for you. Yeah, it just needs to happen.
- 2:01Speaker 7: And once you recognize that the second you think you
- 2:04Speaker 7: have any bit of a savings.
- 2:06Speaker 2: You don't. You don't.
- 2:08Speaker 8: Jackson, how was your day? Did you run today? I
- 2:10Speaker 8: did not run today. I did a walk today, and
- 2:12Speaker 8: I'm still trying to adjust to the new iOS 27.
- 2:16Speaker 2: Oh, it downloaded?
- 2:18Speaker 6: Yes.
- 2:19Speaker 2: Like you what? Oh, it downloaded? Oh, I didn't know
- 2:23Speaker 2: that was today. I forgot. Does it have Spanish now
- 2:27Speaker 2: or something? What's up? It's not, everyone.
- 2:28Speaker 3: Is it the battery slowdown like we talked about?
- 2:32Speaker 8: Yeah, because what it's doing is it's using the AI
- 2:36Speaker 8: in the phone to be able to index all of
- 2:40Speaker 8: the stuff you have on your phone so it can
- 2:41Speaker 8: help you Find the things on your phone.
- 2:44Speaker 2: That's what it's telling us.
- 2:46Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 2:46Speaker 2: What's it actually?
- 2:48Speaker 8: But over the few days of it indexing everything in
- 2:51Speaker 8: your phone, that is using more power, more battery power.
- 2:55Speaker 2: That's what they're doing.
- 2:56Speaker 8: A lot of photo editing stuff that, you know, any
- 3:00Speaker 8: Droid user will tell you, oh, they did that years
- 3:02Speaker 8: ago on the Droid.
- 3:02Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, yeah, yeah. But, you know, but it's fun.
- 3:05Speaker 2: So is your battery life still the same? I find
- 3:07Speaker 2: that mine is waning now. And I always thought it
- 3:09Speaker 2: was one of those things that Apple got busted for
- 3:11Speaker 2: where they're sending out some signal that's pinching my phone
- 3:14Speaker 2: power because it seems like my phone runs out of power.
- 3:17Speaker 2: No time now. Whereas before, it would last the entire day. Now,
- 3:20Speaker 2: by the end of the show, I look over there,
- 3:21Speaker 2: it's like 10%.
- 3:22Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 3:23Speaker 2: That's not Apple. That's every battery ever. No, it's not.
- 3:26Speaker 2: Apple did this.
- 3:27Speaker 8: Well, Apple was guilty of doing this with updates where
- 3:32Speaker 8: they would not service the older phones.
- 3:35Speaker 2: It's kind of that.
- 3:36Speaker 8: planned obsolescence you know they they wanted you to get
- 3:39Speaker 8: the new phone so they kind of boost that along
- 3:42Speaker 8: but it also batteries naturally will degrade over time and
- 3:46Speaker 8: how you charge is it mattered i know we did
- 3:48Speaker 8: a whole segment years ago with code black right code
- 3:51Speaker 8: black it talking about charging your battery and now i
- 3:54Speaker 8: just read this article a couple weeks ago and i
- 3:56Speaker 8: i made the change you can change it in your
- 3:58Speaker 8: settings you only charge your battery to 80 that's the
- 4:01Speaker 8: maximum and supposedly it's going to make the life of
- 4:06Speaker 8: the battery last a lot longer.
- 4:09Speaker 7: Also, I think the outcome of that whole Apple thing,
- 4:13Speaker 7: and this is the argument that they dropped, and people
- 4:15Speaker 7: might call me a sheep, but it completely makes sense,
- 4:18Speaker 7: and I would expect other phones to do the same
- 4:20Speaker 7: exact thing.
- 4:21Speaker 2: Your battery is losing its power, right?
- 4:25Speaker 6: Yes.
- 4:25Speaker 2: Over a couple of years. Yeah, we know that because
- 4:27Speaker 2: car batteries do it. Software goes ahead and.
- 4:30Speaker 7: picks up on that and goes don't give it the
- 4:33Speaker 7: same juice okay so all of a sudden you're like
- 4:36Speaker 7: man my phone is going so slow right yeah going
- 4:39Speaker 7: slower well it's because it's also the battery is weak
- 4:42Speaker 7: i can get on board with that argument but that's
- 4:45Speaker 7: also the floodgates are now open.
- 4:47Speaker 2: Yeah well that's what i noticed with my laptop as
- 4:49Speaker 2: well it starts running kind of wild i'll go oh
- 4:51Speaker 2: i must be you know because it hasn't given me
- 4:52Speaker 2: the signal now i'll look down i'll see my battery
- 4:54Speaker 2: is And, of course, the minute you plug in, it
- 4:57Speaker 2: runs fine. And that's why I always go, like, it's
- 4:59Speaker 2: a battery everything.
- 5:01Speaker 7: Have you ever seen a Tesla being sold for a
- 5:03Speaker 7: great deal at 50,000 miles?
- 5:05Speaker 2: Yeah. All right.
- 5:09Speaker 4: 407-916-1041.
- 5:09Speaker 2: Text us at 77031. Man, we've got a lot of
- 5:13Speaker 2: stuff going on on the show. Of course, this Saturday
- 5:16Speaker 2: is such pups and pints. Daryl Payne from Pawfection Dog
- 5:18Speaker 2: Training will be in today to talk about that. He's
- 5:20Speaker 2: bringing a slew, a van full of dogs out there.
- 5:24Speaker 2: to the event for everybody got to hang out with
- 5:26Speaker 2: these are their service dogs.
- 5:28Speaker 3: And they're you know they're in training so they they
- 5:30Speaker 3: need this kind of um exposure to other people and.
- 5:34Speaker 2: Dogs mutually beneficial absolutely.
- 5:36Speaker 3: So like jack has been really good in mentioning you
- 5:39Speaker 3: do not have to have a dog to come to
- 5:41Speaker 3: suds pups and pints right it's a great event if
- 5:43Speaker 3: you have a dog and you don't want to give
- 5:44Speaker 3: your dog a bath this weekend we'll do it for
- 5:46Speaker 3: you but if you just want some puppy love yeah
- 5:49Speaker 3: come and join us we got all the puppy love
- 5:50Speaker 3: you could need.
- 5:51Speaker 8: That's uh yeah go ahead and On Sunspots and Pints,
- 5:55Speaker 8: I was also going to recommend you need to clue Mr.
- 5:58Speaker 8: Padgett in on the whole Talk Back Challenge that starts
- 6:01Speaker 8: today for the next event.
- 6:04Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah.
- 6:05Speaker 2: So the next event is the October 6th, or excuse me,
- 6:07Speaker 2: October 3rd event out at Sunset Walk Margaritaville Resort there
- 6:10Speaker 2: where we're doing the Best Of Challenge. This is the
- 6:13Speaker 2: signature edition, 12 restaurants serving you a little plate of
- 6:17Speaker 2: food for only $ 20 for 12 restaurants. And the listener
- 6:21Speaker 2: edition is now, is you, starting today, by the way,
- 6:25Speaker 2: and we announced this yesterday, starting today, today, is, Ross,
- 6:29Speaker 2: you make up a burger, right? And then the burger
- 6:32Speaker 2: has to be the name. All right, and I'll explain.
- 6:35Speaker 2: And this is just a little creativity. Oh, here we
- 6:37Speaker 2: go again. A little creativity because remember last time we
- 6:39Speaker 2: were like making it sexy, right? So the person who
- 6:42Speaker 2: made their burger sound the most pornographic, we would reward
- 6:46Speaker 2: them with an opportunity, right? Yep, those were the good
- 6:48Speaker 2: old days. Yeah, this one's a little different. We've already
- 6:52Speaker 2: done that a couple times. We're going to move on
- 6:53Speaker 2: to something else, and I don't know how this will go.
- 6:55Speaker 2: We may wind up right back into that boat next year,
- 6:58Speaker 2: but this year it's this. So your burger name has
- 7:02Speaker 2: to kind of explain what the burger is. Okay. Imagine
- 7:07Speaker 2: if it was a JCS burger.
- 7:08Speaker 1: Okay.
- 7:09Speaker 2: It would be two delicious Deb buns with a Slim
- 7:12Speaker 2: Jim patty, peppered Jack Bradshaw cheese with some raw sauce.
- 7:17Speaker 2: Look at that, right?
- 7:19Speaker 7: What's wild is that we're supposed to not think that
- 7:22Speaker 7: has any innuendo.
- 7:26Speaker 2: Go back to Deb's buns? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Exactly. You
- 7:29Speaker 2: sure it's a Slim Jim, Patty? But you can make
- 7:32Speaker 2: it whatever you want. If you're a big Star Trek fan,
- 7:35Speaker 2: make it a Star Trek burger and then make the
- 7:36Speaker 2: name around what that is or whatever. And the most
- 7:38Speaker 2: creative ones, we're going to pick three of those, and
- 7:41Speaker 2: they get the opportunity to battle it out to make
- 7:44Speaker 2: us a burger. We choose the burger that wins. And
- 7:46Speaker 2: that winner not only wins this badass trophy, but wins
- 7:48Speaker 2: a weekend for two out there at Margaritaville, which is badass,
- 7:53Speaker 2: by the way. It's so much fun. You talk about
- 7:55Speaker 2: a great little getaway for the family with the water
- 7:58Speaker 2: park right there, the restaurants, the theater. All the cool
- 8:00Speaker 2: stuff to do on the promenade. The properties are beautiful.
- 8:04Speaker 2: So I'm telling you, man, this is a cool-ass prize,
- 8:07Speaker 2: and that's all you have to do. This is going
- 8:08Speaker 2: to be via talkback. So today throughout the show, if
- 8:11Speaker 2: you have an idea for a burger that's creative exactly
- 8:13Speaker 2: like I explained, leave a talkback with that burger, and
- 8:16Speaker 2: you will be in the running. It's that easy.
- 8:18Speaker 8: Yeah, so we need three contestants. So today we'll pick one, tomorrow,
- 8:22Speaker 8: and then Friday we'll pick a third contestant. And if
- 8:24Speaker 8: you want details in what's included in the ingredients, you
- 8:28Speaker 8: can go to our website at realradio.fm slash sunset.
- 8:32Speaker 2: Exactly. And the cool thing about that list is it's
- 8:34Speaker 2: the basic list of hamburger stuff. If you have something
- 8:37Speaker 2: that you can bring from home, a special cheese you
- 8:39Speaker 2: want to use, a sauce, chili, whatever the case may be,
- 8:44Speaker 2: we'll allow you to add that to this list. But
- 8:46Speaker 2: that's the list you're starting with as of right now.
- 8:50Speaker 3: And the other important thing is that You're not going
- 8:52Speaker 3: to have to make four separate burgers.
- 8:54Speaker 2: No, no. You're going to make one and we're going
- 8:56Speaker 2: to cut it in quarters. One burger and we're going
- 8:57Speaker 2: to cut it in quarters. That's right. That's right. And
- 8:59Speaker 2: we've had some bangers. Like I said yesterday, the first
- 9:01Speaker 2: year we did this, our friend Angela made a burger
- 9:04Speaker 2: that I would eat every weekend. It was absolutely exceptionally good.
- 9:08Speaker 2: It was awesome. Yeah, it was. We've had some really
- 9:11Speaker 2: surprisingly good food made by our listeners. Well, we've had
- 9:14Speaker 2: some swings and misses. Yeah, we've had some misses as well,
- 9:16Speaker 2: but we've also had some real positives. Everyone that's won,
- 9:19Speaker 2: the dish has been great.
- 9:20Speaker 4: Yep.
- 9:21Speaker 2: So we're doing that again. So, again, we'll take those
- 9:24Speaker 2: all day today, tomorrow, and Friday. And, of course, next week,
- 9:27Speaker 2: we will do the live broadcast down there Friday. And then,
- 9:30Speaker 2: of course, Saturday will be the big event that we're
- 9:32Speaker 2: all looking forward to.
- 9:34Speaker 4: Ta-da!
- 9:34Speaker 2: Put it in until then. Suds, pups, and pints, baby. Suds, pups,
- 9:38Speaker 2: and pints. Yeah, so we did decide.
- 9:40Speaker 3: So what we're going to do is if you're going
- 9:42Speaker 3: to be coming to Suds, Pups, and Pints solely for
- 9:45Speaker 3: the pleasure of sending one Jim Colbert into the dunk tank.
- 9:49Speaker 2: Okay. Do we have an executive decision on this? Yeah,
- 9:52Speaker 2: we do. What we're going to be doing is selling tickets.
- 9:54Speaker 3: So at the same registration table where you will go
- 9:56Speaker 3: to pay for your dog to get a bath, we
- 9:58Speaker 3: will have a separate role available. tickets just for the
- 10:02Speaker 3: dunk tank, $ 5 a ball. And thanks to both Target
- 10:06Speaker 3: and Lowe's for providing volunteers for that day, we'll have
- 10:09Speaker 3: a volunteer who will collect the tickets and run back
- 10:12Speaker 3: and forth.
- 10:13Speaker 2: To collect the balls. Is that because I didn't snicker?
- 10:19Speaker 2: So they have to collect my balls and then take
- 10:21Speaker 2: them back. No way that was going to make it.
- 10:27Speaker 2: No way possible you're making it through that.
- 10:29Speaker 3: But, I mean, $ 5, you got kids who maybe bring some,
- 10:33Speaker 3: you know, their allowance money.
- 10:34Speaker 2: Oh, sure, yeah, yeah. Because that's what every six-year-old is
- 10:38Speaker 2: doing right now. Oh, damn that Colbert.
- 10:40Speaker 8: I'm going to take $ 5 of my allowance money.
- 10:44Speaker 2: Jack, here's what it's going to be. The dad can't
- 10:46Speaker 2: make the throw. But they've got a little leaguer that
- 10:49Speaker 2: may be able to make that throw. And they'll make
- 10:50Speaker 2: him pay. It's going to be a real family bonding experience.
- 10:54Speaker 2: I could see a lot of kids not like you.
- 10:57Speaker 2: Can I tell you, they'll have to fight my kids
- 11:00Speaker 2: out for the position. I think my kids will be
- 11:02Speaker 2: first in line.
- 11:03Speaker 7: Tell me you wouldn't cast that guy as the new
- 11:05Speaker 7: villain against Dennis the Menace.
- 11:07Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm a Batman bad guy. Dude, I've got to
- 11:11Speaker 2: tell you, speaking of Batman bad guys, you guys saw
- 11:13Speaker 2: today that Harvey Weinstein got Got sentenced to 15 more years.
- 11:17Speaker 2: Did you have that? No, I did not. Yeah, 15
- 11:19Speaker 2: more years for sexual assault, right? They're showing photographs of
- 11:23Speaker 2: him in the courtroom. I got to tell you, dude,
- 11:27Speaker 2: that guy was born a Batman bad guy. He is
- 11:31Speaker 2: a Marvel bad guy. This guy's face is a mess.
- 11:33Speaker 2: He looks like a henchman. He does look like a henchman. Really?
- 11:36Speaker 7: No reason.
- 11:37Speaker 2: He would have to be famous and wealthy and in
- 11:40Speaker 2: a position to force people to have sex with him.
- 11:42Speaker 2: There's no way anyone voluntarily would sleep with that monster.
- 11:45Speaker 2: He is a beast, dude. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, he does.
- 11:48Speaker 2: How bad is that photograph? I mean, Jack can finally
- 11:50Speaker 2: try to put it up if he wants, but it is.
- 11:51Speaker 2: He looks terrible. It's so ominously bad. He already started
- 11:56Speaker 2: out being like a really unattractive guy. Not only just
- 11:59Speaker 2: his personality, but it's just his being. But he looks
- 12:02Speaker 2: like one of these henchmen that you would see in
- 12:04Speaker 2: a Marvel movie. You know, it's just awful. One of
- 12:07Speaker 2: my favorite.
- 12:08Speaker 7: I always wanted to see this done to Weinstein is
- 12:11Speaker 7: when Batman is holding one of the bad like Italian mobsters.
- 12:15Speaker 7: And he goes, hey, advice, Batman, next time you do this,
- 12:19Speaker 7: taller height, this isn't going to hurt me.
- 12:21Speaker 2: This isn't going to kill me. And he goes, that's
- 12:23Speaker 2: what I planned. And then he drops him.
- 12:25Speaker 7: I want to see Weinstein dropped from the side of
- 12:27Speaker 7: a building from Batman.
- 12:29Speaker 2: All right, 407-916-1041, text 77031.
- 12:29Speaker 8: We get to try the chicken and waffles Oreo today.
- 12:36Speaker 8: Who do we have to thank for that? It's always
- 12:38Speaker 8: anything Oreo you thank Angel.
- 12:40Speaker 2: It's Angel. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's got a connection. I
- 12:42Speaker 2: don't know who the connection is. I don't know if
- 12:44Speaker 2: he's revealed it publicly. He got an Oreo plug.
- 12:47Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 12:47Speaker 2: But he unveiled that today. Yeah, yeah. And it was
- 12:50Speaker 2: chicken and waffles. Yeah, that's an interesting one. Not so
- 12:52Speaker 2: much on the chicken part. I mean, I didn't get
- 12:54Speaker 2: much chicken in there, but the waffle flavor was pretty good.
- 12:57Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 12:57Speaker 2: The syrup, butter kind of thing. Yes. Definitely had that maple.
- 13:01Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah.
- 13:01Speaker 2: Yeah, it tasted like a graham cracker a little bit.
- 13:03Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
- 13:04Speaker 2: Some toast crunch. Yeah, a little bit of Toast Crunch.
- 13:06Speaker 2: Weinstein's a falcone.
- 13:07Speaker 4: Sorry.
- 13:07Speaker 2: Yeah, he is a falcone. You got me all wild up. Yeah,
- 13:10Speaker 2: blow up one of those pictures, Jack. Can you select
- 13:12Speaker 2: one of them, make it a little bigger? Let's see
- 13:14Speaker 2: what happens. Yeah, let's see what happens. Oh, my God,
- 13:17Speaker 2: he's coming at me. Look at that guy. Oh, my God,
- 13:20Speaker 2: what a beast. Anyway, 15 more years for that fellow.
- 13:24Speaker 2: All right, 407-916-1041, text 77031. We do have a lot
- 13:27Speaker 2: of fun stuff to talk about today. Deb got some news.
- 13:29Speaker 3: Yeah, the tides are a-turning. Byron Donald's website removes references
- 13:34Speaker 3: to Trump. A woman wrongfully arrested for a fatal crash
- 13:38Speaker 3: testifies on flock cameras. And a woman wakes up to
- 13:42Speaker 3: find an intruder doing this in her home. We'll talk
- 13:46Speaker 3: about that and more coming up next during JCS News.
- 13:48Speaker 2: All right, let's take a little break. We'll come back

- 14:34Speaker 2: Jack and Ross sit right over there. And Deb has
- 14:37Speaker 2: your news.
- 14:39Speaker 1: It's time for JCS News.
- 14:41Speaker 4: Wow.
- 14:41Speaker 2: Has this guy got to put his name on everything?
- 14:45Speaker 2: It's in my contract, dude.
- 14:47Speaker 1: Here's the news on the Jim Colbert Show.
- 14:50Speaker 3: And JCS News is brought to you by that mortgage guy, Don.
- 14:53Speaker 3: And that means you no longer get to complain about
- 14:55Speaker 3: the guy who leaves the talk back with the farts.
- 14:57Speaker 2: Okay.
- 14:57Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 14:58Speaker 6: Okay.
- 14:58Speaker 2: All right.
- 14:59Speaker 3: The Republican candidate for the governor of Florida has removed
- 15:02Speaker 3: all references to President Trump from his campaign website. The
- 15:06Speaker 3: Miami Herald says Byron Donald's website was previously dominated by
- 15:10Speaker 3: Trump endorsements, but all of those mentions were removed in
- 15:13Speaker 3: an update this week, including a photo of Donald's posing
- 15:17Speaker 3: with Trump. The website also used to say that Donald's
- 15:21Speaker 3: top priority once elected governor would be, quote, to enact
- 15:23Speaker 3: the Trump agenda, end quote. That has been replaced with, quote, affordability,
- 15:28Speaker 3: end quote. Recent polls show Trump's approval ratings hitting record lows.
- 15:34Speaker 3: Florida Attorney General James Uthmeyer is ramping up his fight
- 15:37Speaker 3: with the New York Times. Uthmeyer has filed a petition
- 15:40Speaker 3: seeking to inspect the Times corporate books and records on
- 15:44Speaker 3: behalf of retirees.
- 15:46Speaker 2: We recently announced that we're investigating this and looking into
- 15:49Speaker 2: a situation where they had to make countless number of
- 15:53Speaker 2: retractions in certain reporting.
- 15:55Speaker 3: Florida's pension fund owns about 160,000 shares of the New
- 15:59Speaker 3: York Times company. He says disputed coverage over Israel after
- 16:03Speaker 3: October 7th could damage the company's reputation and potentially hurt
- 16:07Speaker 3: the value of Florida's investment. The Times calls this an
- 16:11Speaker 3: attempt to diminish First Amendment rights.
- 16:14Speaker 2: Yeah, this goes back to the thing where they tried
- 16:15Speaker 2: to start a big fight with Target, and I wrote
- 16:20Speaker 2: the attorney general twice, actually, and said, well, are you
- 16:23Speaker 2: paying as much attention to Tesla? And their stock dropped
- 16:27Speaker 2: as they were going through the Doge thing, never received
- 16:30Speaker 2: a response twice. These are the kind of culture fights
- 16:33Speaker 2: that get kind of weird for us because they will
- 16:36Speaker 2: investigate and go ham on one side of this thing,
- 16:39Speaker 2: but again– When you look at companies that could be
- 16:40Speaker 2: affecting it that happen to support Republican parties, that doesn't
- 16:44Speaker 2: really get investigated as much, and that's very frustrating for me. Oh,
- 16:47Speaker 2: I think for everyone. He's the attorney general for Florida,
- 16:49Speaker 2: not for Republican Florida, not for Democrat Florida. He's supposed
- 16:52Speaker 2: to be– and if you're going to investigate one side
- 16:54Speaker 2: of this equation, it's only fair you do the other side,
- 16:56Speaker 2: but I haven't heard a word about that. Well, agreed
- 16:59Speaker 2: on that, right? Yeah, keep it fair.
- 17:01Speaker 3: Speaking of Florida's workers, the minimum wage is about to
- 17:04Speaker 3: go up in Florida, and some business owners are warning
- 17:07Speaker 3: they may have to raise their prices. Next Wednesday, the
- 17:10Speaker 3: minimum wage will go up $ 1 to $ 15 an hour
- 17:12Speaker 3: for non-tipped workers and just under $ 12 for tipped workers.
- 17:19Speaker 3: Collier Merrill owns several restaurants in Pensacola, and he says
- 17:23Speaker 3: if some workers are getting raises, then everyone's going to
- 17:25Speaker 3: want one. He estimates an $ 800, 000 increase to his payroll alone.
- 17:31Speaker 3: University of West Florida economics professor Rick Harper warns raising
- 17:35Speaker 3: the minimum wage could actually end up hurting those it's
- 17:39Speaker 3: designed to help.
- 17:42Speaker 2: Hey, if they can try making it.
- 17:43Speaker 3: Work on whatever they're making minimum wage, right?
- 17:46Speaker 6: All right.
- 17:46Speaker 3: Speaking of other ways of saving money, Florida homeowners are
- 17:49Speaker 3: in line for significant rate decreases. This was the story
- 17:52Speaker 3: I was laughing at when I was putting the news together.
- 17:56Speaker 3: because we're going to be having a very interesting conversation
- 17:58Speaker 3: about homeowners insurance with Scott Maxwell.
- 18:01Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. Later on in the 4 o'clock hour.
- 18:04Speaker 3: So that's what Insurance Commissioner Mike Yawarski said yesterday. He
- 18:08Speaker 3: says the Office of Insurance Regulation, or OIR, has approved
- 18:12Speaker 3: significant rate decreases affecting over 60,000 policies. Four companies that
- 18:17Speaker 3: recently had rate decreases approved were One Alliance North America,
- 18:22Speaker 3: Safe Harbor, Unique, and VIRD, V-I-R-D. Yawarski also says the
- 18:28Speaker 3: OIR is receiving a flood of rate cut or zero
- 18:32Speaker 3: increase requests that are currently pending review. He adds that
- 18:36Speaker 3: this is great news for Floridians and OIR will expedite
- 18:39Speaker 3: reviews of rate filings to ensure Floridians feel it in
- 18:43Speaker 3: their pockets.
- 18:44Speaker 2: Wow. I love how active things get before an election.
- 18:49Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 18:50Speaker 2: It's funny, right?
- 18:51Speaker 3: Or when, you know, the Orlando Sentinel and the Miami
- 18:54Speaker 3: Herald end up writing that report.
- 18:55Speaker 2: We talked about it earlier this week.
- 18:57Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 18:57Speaker 3: That the Florida Senate is fuming about this report, about
- 19:00Speaker 3: how hard the state fights to hide just how much
- 19:04Speaker 3: money insurance companies make.
- 19:06Speaker 2: When you hear that, when you... Please listen to Scott Maxwell,
- 19:09Speaker 2: our segment with Scott today. When you hear what's been
- 19:11Speaker 2: happening in Florida, you are not going to believe it.
- 19:13Speaker 2: I mean, the Senate, was it the Senate who tried
- 19:15Speaker 2: to sue?
- 19:15Speaker 3: The Florida Senate is threatening legal action against both of
- 19:18Speaker 3: those newspapers to get them to retract the information.
- 19:22Speaker 2: That's how quiet they want it. And when you hear why,
- 19:26Speaker 2: you'll know why.
- 19:27Speaker 3: And now you know why they're going after property taxes
- 19:30Speaker 3: because they can't afford to go after the property insurance.
- 19:34Speaker 2: This whole Amendment 3, all of this will come around
- 19:36Speaker 2: when you hear the story today when Scott Maxwell lays
- 19:39Speaker 2: this thing out of what insurance companies have been doing
- 19:41Speaker 2: here in Florida with the help of legislators to hide
- 19:45Speaker 2: profits so they can claim poor mouth and continue to
- 19:47Speaker 2: charge exorbitant amounts of money. For insurance in the state
- 19:51Speaker 2: of Florida, when you hear it, you're going to lose
- 19:52Speaker 2: your mind. But let's go after property taxes. But that's
- 19:54Speaker 2: exactly what the problem is.
- 19:55Speaker 10: Of course.
- 19:55Speaker 2: They want to try to provide the relief for property taxes,
- 19:58Speaker 2: which is going to decimate small communities. All communities. That
- 20:01Speaker 2: don't have any industry to create revenue with. They do
- 20:04Speaker 2: it solely with property tax. One of the reasons we've
- 20:07Speaker 2: been against Amendment 3, because we kind of understand what's
- 20:10Speaker 2: going to happen. I mean, you look at the simple
- 20:12Speaker 2: part of it. Yes, you're going to have some more
- 20:14Speaker 2: money in your pocket. But the other part of it
- 20:16Speaker 2: is going to take away from the community at the rate.
- 20:18Speaker 2: I don't think it's going to pick up and kind
- 20:19Speaker 2: of cover what you think is going to be happening.
- 20:22Speaker 3: And that includes, first and foremost, police and fire, which
- 20:24Speaker 3: a lot of people think is going to be covered.
- 20:26Speaker 7: Oh, I have a feeling some pretty important people are
- 20:29Speaker 7: going to be listening to.
- 20:30Speaker 2: The Jim Colbert show. Interesting to me, man.
- 20:33Speaker 3: US senators are hearing today about how flock cameras led
- 20:36Speaker 3: investigators to arrest the wrong driver for a crash in
- 20:39Speaker 3: Volusia County. Flagler County's Lindsay Isaacs is testifying before the
- 20:44Speaker 3: Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Crime and Terrorism. Lawmakers are conducting
- 20:49Speaker 3: a hearing about flock cameras as we speak. Isaac blames
- 20:52Speaker 3: a flock camera for falsely identifying her SUV as being
- 20:56Speaker 3: involved in a deadly crash last year in Deberry that
- 20:59Speaker 3: killed three people. And she tells Fox 35 she spent
- 21:02Speaker 3: nearly two weeks in jail.
- 21:05Speaker 7: It was the worst 13 days of my life.
- 21:08Speaker 2: I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
- 21:09Speaker 3: She was arrested five months ago and spent, again, almost
- 21:13Speaker 3: two weeks in jail before investigators realized they made a mistake.
- 21:17Speaker 2: A.K.A.
- 21:17Speaker 3: Her lawyer was like, yeah, that's her vehicle.
- 21:20Speaker 2: Tell me if you can find any damage.
- 21:21Speaker 4: Right, yeah.
- 21:22Speaker 3: Because anybody who sideswipes a couple vehicles and causes three
- 21:26Speaker 3: people to lose their lives, there's going to be some
- 21:28Speaker 3: damage on your vehicle.
- 21:30Speaker 2: No damage. Yeah, there's a famous video of a young
- 21:31Speaker 2: guy that they did the same thing with. They claimed
- 21:33Speaker 2: that he was in a wreck, but he wasn't even
- 21:35Speaker 2: in the same state. And they interrogated this guy for
- 21:38Speaker 2: like eight hours. In the last two hours, it was
- 21:41Speaker 2: kind of commonly known the cops knew that it wasn't him.
- 21:44Speaker 2: But they continued to press because they were already knee
- 21:46Speaker 2: deep in it. They were already in it. It was
- 21:47Speaker 2: a bad situation. And the guy was like, look, man,
- 21:49Speaker 2: I wasn't even in the state. I can prove it.
- 21:51Speaker 2: And they didn't even listen. It was so crazy.
- 21:53Speaker 3: Well, they ended up dropping the charges and arresting someone else.
- 21:57Speaker 3: Isaac's no surprise here is suing the FHP.
- 22:00Speaker 8: There was a time where I used to believe that
- 22:02Speaker 8: as soon as law enforcement would realize they had the
- 22:05Speaker 8: wrong person... They would let that person go.
- 22:07Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
- 22:09Speaker 8: But then when you say, oh, no, that we have
- 22:11Speaker 8: to continue and like prosecutors as well, where it's like, right.
- 22:16Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 22:16Speaker 4: Nope.
- 22:16Speaker 2: Nope. That'll affect my record negatively. I'm sorry.
- 22:20Speaker 13: What?
- 22:20Speaker 2: Exactly. Exactly. We're prosecuting innocent people, people, you know, to
- 22:23Speaker 2: be innocent. Who's this? Who's this really about?
- 22:27Speaker 3: Florida drivers, meanwhile, are seeing gas prices move higher again
- 22:30Speaker 3: after they dipped over the past several days. AAA says
- 22:33Speaker 3: the statewide average for regular gas rose 5 cents overnight
- 22:37Speaker 3: to $ 4.
- 22:38Speaker 2: 29 a gallon. Paid $ 4. 49 this morning for gas.
- 22:41Speaker 3: Yeah, prices range from a high of $ 4. 57 a gallon
- 22:45Speaker 3: in Monroe County, that's down in the Keys, to $ 4. 03
- 22:49Speaker 3: in Gulf County in the Panhandle. Diesel is moving in
- 22:52Speaker 3: the opposite direction, with the Florida average slipping $ 0. 03 to
- 22:56Speaker 3: $ 6. 23 a gallon. Truckers, celebrate that.
- 23:00Speaker 2: Yay!
- 23:00Speaker 3: All right, a Largo man is suing Publix and a
- 23:04Speaker 3: South Florida food distributor claiming his wife died after eating
- 23:08Speaker 3: recalled frozen blueberries contaminated with E.
- 23:11Speaker 2: Coli.
- 23:12Speaker 3: The Tampa Bay Times reports the suit alleges Carla Mullins
- 23:15Speaker 3: died in June after she and another family member became
- 23:19Speaker 3: sick from berries sold under the public's GreenWise label. The
- 23:23Speaker 3: suit alleges the contaminated product was supplied by Coral Gables-based
- 23:27Speaker 3: Quirch Foods and seeks damages for wrongful death and negligence.
- 23:32Speaker 3: Federal health officials have since declared the outbreak over, but
- 23:35Speaker 3: consumers are still being urged to check for recalled frozen
- 23:38Speaker 3: berry products. And again, it started with Publix Frozen Organic.
- 23:42Speaker 3: Green wise blueberries, but then it moved over to a
- 23:45Speaker 3: mixed berry as well.
- 23:46Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. And if you look today, there's a recall
- 23:48Speaker 2: on beef, goat meat, and another thing. And what you
- 23:52Speaker 2: have to pay attention to is the level of– the
- 23:55Speaker 2: height of level of– What level of the– Yeah, a
- 24:01Speaker 2: danger that could be involved because if you remember, the
- 24:03Speaker 2: blueberries got the highest level. It was the highest level
- 24:06Speaker 2: of danger. You do not eat under any circumstances. If
- 24:09Speaker 2: you even think, throw it away. And the same thing
- 24:11Speaker 2: just came out with this group of meat that was just– Yeah,
- 24:14Speaker 2: you don't want to take those chances.
- 24:15Speaker 8: I'm just glad we did not make any doge cuts
- 24:18Speaker 8: to food inspection.
- 24:19Speaker 2: In the FDA. Absolutely.
- 24:22Speaker 1: All right.
- 24:22Speaker 3: Also on the Gulf Coast, this is a really sad
- 24:25Speaker 3: story on the Gulf Coast. Suicide is suspected in the
- 24:29Speaker 3: death of a Polk County government employee accused of video voyeurism.
- 24:34Speaker 3: Lakeland's Shawn Michael Krause was found dead yesterday at Colt
- 24:38Speaker 3: Crete State Park. He was 60 and there's no word
- 24:41Speaker 3: on how he died. Krause was facing arrest, though, after
- 24:44Speaker 3: a hidden camera was found in the women's restroom at
- 24:47Speaker 3: the tax collector's I.T. office where he worked as a manager.
- 24:52Speaker 7: A little theory here. This is not the first time
- 24:56Speaker 7: I've heard of suicide after thinking I'm about to get caught.
- 25:03Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
- 25:04Speaker 3: That's why usually they will arrest you before you have
- 25:07Speaker 3: the opportunity to do just that.
- 25:09Speaker 1: Right.
- 25:09Speaker 2: Because they don't want you not face justice. Right.
- 25:12Speaker 7: So with that said, I would think that suicide will
- 25:16Speaker 7: end up being on the rise when cameras are now everywhere.
- 25:24Speaker 2: You just think because they're catching people doing stuff they
- 25:26Speaker 2: shouldn't be doing and the possibility of extortion? Yes. Essentially.
- 25:31Speaker 7: I mean, we just had a huge news story in
- 25:33Speaker 7: the last couple of days that also is ringing true.
- 25:37Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah.
- 25:37Speaker 2: And that's my next story, actually.
- 25:39Speaker 3: Carrot Top's legal case is now an emergency in the
- 25:43Speaker 3: most human sense. That's what the comedian's lawyers wrote in
- 25:46Speaker 3: a court filing they submitted Sunday afternoon. The lawyers also
- 25:49Speaker 3: confirm in the filing that Carrot Top did try to
- 25:52Speaker 3: kill himself last week after he was accused of sexual
- 25:55Speaker 3: assault last month. Carrot Top currently remains in a Las
- 25:58Speaker 3: Vegas hospital. The 61-year-old Brevard County native was born Scott
- 26:02Speaker 3: Thompson in Rockledge, graduated from Cocoa High School in 1983,
- 26:06Speaker 3: and has a home in Winter Park and a long-standing family.
- 26:09Speaker 3: Vegas residency, I think, since like 2006. It's been a.
- 26:12Speaker 2: Long time out there.
- 26:13Speaker 4: It has.
- 26:13Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 26:14Speaker 2: It's very successful. All right. I know it's raining out there.
- 26:17Speaker 3: You wouldn't think it, but water restrictions are being extended
- 26:20Speaker 3: in parts of Central Florida.
- 26:22Speaker 2: Remember this if you're putting in new sod.
- 26:24Speaker 8: Are they telling the companies that bottle the water out
- 26:28Speaker 8: of the ground and put it in plastic bottles to
- 26:30Speaker 8: slow down?
- 26:30Speaker 3: Just like they're telling the property insurers to drop our prices.
- 26:35Speaker 3: The Southwest Florida Water Management District announced yesterday all residents
- 26:39Speaker 3: will remain under one day per week watering restrictions through
- 26:43Speaker 3: the end of December.
- 26:46Speaker 2: I like your answer, Jack.
- 26:47Speaker 6: Millennium.
- 26:48Speaker 2: Ross, you want to take a guess?
- 26:49Speaker 7: Oh, God.
- 26:50Speaker 2: I said December. You said December.
- 26:52Speaker 8: Well, it would only be two until daylight savings time.
- 26:56Speaker 8: So I would guess November because after that, it goes
- 26:59Speaker 8: to once a week anyway.
- 27:01Speaker 2: Well, then let me. Did you already tell me? I
- 27:03Speaker 2: said millennia. Let me take November. March.
- 27:07Speaker 7: Oh, wow.
- 27:07Speaker 4: Really?
- 27:07Speaker 2: End of March, which goes to one after that. Anyway,
- 27:11Speaker 2: I guess I don't know. Yeah.
- 27:12Speaker 3: Well, there's still a 15 inch deficit in the water table.
- 27:15Speaker 3: So the modified phase three extreme water shortage order is
- 27:19Speaker 3: being extended for the second time. As the drought continues,
- 27:22Speaker 3: besides a one-day-per-week limit, watering is also restricted to either
- 27:27Speaker 3: from midnight to 4 a.m. or from 8 p.m. to
- 27:30Speaker 3: 11.59 p.m. You know the worst time to water your
- 27:33Speaker 3: grass if you're trying to avoid. If a city or
- 27:35Speaker 3: county has stricter restrictions, those restrictions would take precedence. For
- 27:39Speaker 3: those who don't know, the Southwest Florida Water Management District's
- 27:41Speaker 3: coverage area includes Polk and Sumter Counties, parts of Lake County,
- 27:46Speaker 3: the city of Donnellan and Marion County, and the Marion
- 27:48Speaker 3: County portion of The villages.
- 27:51Speaker 2: They're using a lot of water out there. And if
- 27:54Speaker 2: you don't mind, you work with three men talking about
- 27:57Speaker 2: things with inch deficits.
- 28:00Speaker 3: Well, I mean, just go back and read a paper
- 28:02Speaker 3: map where one inch equals a mile. That'll make you
- 28:05Speaker 3: feel better, right?
- 28:06Speaker 8: I thought with new planting, you could water for the
- 28:10Speaker 8: first couple weeks, like every day.
- 28:12Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know. I don't know with the restrictions.
- 28:14Speaker 8: When you put sod down or new landscaping, I thought
- 28:17Speaker 8: you were allowed to. waters like that so you're poor
- 28:20Speaker 8: wants for free thing yeah and i think.
- 28:22Speaker 3: That if you're doing that i mean i would check
- 28:24Speaker 3: because you know the last thing you want is to
- 28:26Speaker 3: you know the fourth and code enforcement see some sign
- 28:29Speaker 3: on your front door that says you've been fined and
- 28:31Speaker 3: now you've got a paid this much money because your
- 28:34Speaker 3: neighbor called on you exactly but don't worry he's here
- 28:38Speaker 3: from three to seven from monday to friday and then
- 28:43Speaker 3: finally A man is in custody in Texas for reportedly
- 28:47Speaker 3: letting himself into a woman's home on Tuesday morning.
- 28:50Speaker 2: I saw this movie before. We'll see it again on
- 28:55Speaker 2: Pick the Porn for Friday. Spoiler.
- 28:56Speaker 3: What would be the one thing you wouldn't want to
- 28:58Speaker 3: wake up and find a stranger doing in your home?
- 29:00Speaker 2: Just about anything. Yeah, just about anything, right?
- 29:03Speaker 3: Well, how about putting your bath soap in areas that
- 29:05Speaker 3: you don't want to know is bath soap?
- 29:07Speaker 2: Yeah, he was taking a shower. Well, honestly, there's a
- 29:09Speaker 2: lot worse things. There are a lot worse things. Now,
- 29:12Speaker 2: don't feel too bad for this lady, okay? Practicing good hygiene.
- 29:15Speaker 2: Officers responded around 7 a.m. local time. That would be
- 29:18Speaker 2: out in Texas. This was in the morning?
- 29:20Speaker 3: To the reported break-in at a home in Castle Hills.
- 29:23Speaker 3: That's north of San Antonio.
- 29:24Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 29:25Speaker 3: Investigators say the woman who lives alone, who lives alone,
- 29:30Speaker 3: told them she woke up and heard water running in
- 29:34Speaker 3: her shower. The man had reportedly got in by using
- 29:38Speaker 3: the woman's house keys. which she had left in her
- 29:42Speaker 3: unlocked car oh my god oh my god go back
- 29:47Speaker 3: to the part where she lives alone oh my god
- 29:51Speaker 3: Police entered the home and arrested the man on several
- 29:53Speaker 3: charges and then slapped her for being stupid.
- 29:56Speaker 2: That's a quick squatter right there. She's like, you take
- 30:03Speaker 2: the soap too, dude. Right, exactly. I don't need that.
- 30:05Speaker 2: I don't need your bum soap. Get out of here.
- 30:07Speaker 2: It's Irish Spring.
- 30:08Speaker 3: I don't want to know what that curly hair is.
- 30:10Speaker 3: And either way, that concludes your JCS News. All right, 407-916-2041.

- 30:19Speaker 2: Back in a sec with more of the Jim Colbert Show. Jim, Bob,
- 30:27Speaker 2: and crew, what's up?
- 30:28Speaker 15: Always a pleasure listening to you guys.
- 30:30Speaker 2: Thank you, brother. Appreciate it so much.
- 30:31Speaker 15: I don't really get into politics because, I don't know,
- 30:36Speaker 15: I just work, pay my bills, pay my taxes, come home,
- 30:40Speaker 15: repeat rents. But I drive an 01 Saturn, just to
- 30:46Speaker 15: put that in your mind. And it cost me $ 65
- 30:49Speaker 15: to fill it up today.
- 30:54Speaker 2: Yeah, another $ 86 fill-up for my little picket truck today. 407-916-1041.
- 30:59Speaker 2: Text 77031. I am Jim. There's Deb. Hello. Jack is
- 31:04Speaker 2: here as well. Hi.
- 31:05Speaker 7: So is Ross. Yeah.
- 31:07Speaker 2: And certain Wednesdays when we have this guy come in,
- 31:09Speaker 2: he drops by for the first segment. Before we open
- 31:11Speaker 2: up the phones for a second segment, you guys give
- 31:12Speaker 2: it up good and loud for Daryl Payne. What do
- 31:14Speaker 2: you say?
- 31:17Speaker 4: Yay!
- 31:17Speaker 2: Daryl will be with us on Saturday for Studs, Pups,
- 31:20Speaker 2: and Pints, our celebrity dog-washing event. Fourth annual, by the way.
- 31:24Speaker 2: Downtown Mount Dora from 3 until 6. And of course,
- 31:27Speaker 2: you will be represented by a An absolute horde of dogs. Yeah.
- 31:32Speaker 6: I think we've got about 30 dogs signed up for it.
- 31:36Speaker 12: Really?
- 31:37Speaker 16: Yeah.
- 31:37Speaker 2: About... Ten of them are going to be in training.
- 31:40Speaker 6: The rest are all fully badged up and everything else.
- 31:43Speaker 2: But they're for people to come and hug on. So
- 31:45Speaker 2: if you've got a dog, come and hug us. Exactly.
- 31:48Speaker 2: The one thing I remember about dogs a couple of
- 31:50Speaker 2: years ago was I thought it would be primarily like
- 31:54Speaker 2: one breed, like your labs or whatever, because they're so teachable.
- 31:56Speaker 2: I think that's the common misconception, or maybe that's a common–
- 32:00Speaker 2: idea is that labs are very, very teachable. So you
- 32:02Speaker 2: see a lot of them because they're docile, they're easy
- 32:05Speaker 2: to teach, they're really easy to get along with. But
- 32:07Speaker 2: that wasn't really the case with your dogs. I mean,
- 32:09Speaker 2: I guess you can train all these different breeds. I mean,
- 32:13Speaker 2: is that a common misconception that there's one breed that
- 32:15Speaker 2: could be more able as a service dog than other breeds?
- 32:19Speaker 6: In all honesty, I think the Golden Retriever Center lend
- 32:22Speaker 6: itself to service work and therapy work more than anything else.
- 32:25Speaker 6: But it doesn't mean that There's other breeds that can't be.
- 32:28Speaker 6: We've got everything. We've got Frenchies. We've got Dobermans. We've
- 32:32Speaker 6: got Pitbulls. We've got Irish Wolfhounds are going to be there.
- 32:37Speaker 2: Oh, I love an Irish Wolfhound. That's the tallest dog,
- 32:40Speaker 2: isn't it?
- 32:40Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 32:40Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 32:41Speaker 6: So we've got a ton of different dogs all coming
- 32:43Speaker 6: on Saturday. And they're going to be wandering around just
- 32:46Speaker 6: being loved on by people. And, you know, come and
- 32:48Speaker 6: see us at the tent. There'll be some there as well.
- 32:50Speaker 6: I'll be there and, you know. And if you turn
- 32:52Speaker 6: up at the 10, I'm going to give you a
- 32:54Speaker 6: free week of agility and obedience.
- 32:56Speaker 2: Wow. That's awesome. But you have to be at the
- 32:59Speaker 2: event to get that.
- 33:00Speaker 6: Yeah, come to the event. You get a manly hug
- 33:02Speaker 6: from me.
- 33:03Speaker 2: Okay.
- 33:04Speaker 6: Probably a hug from Penny. I've got to negotiate that one.
- 33:06Speaker 2: Right, right, right. We'll give you a free week over
- 33:10Speaker 2: in Oviedo. Are you going to bring some extra money?
- 33:12Speaker 3: Because I don't know if you heard, but Jim has
- 33:14Speaker 3: volunteered to go in a dunk tank for only $ 5
- 33:17Speaker 3: a ball. You can drop him in the water.
- 33:20Speaker 2: Well, have you seen the size of me? I can
- 33:22Speaker 2: just pick him up and throw him in the water.
- 33:24Speaker 2: I need to pay for that stuff. Jim mentioned that
- 33:28Speaker 2: it's the fourth annual Seds, Pups, and Pies. That means
- 33:30Speaker 2: we've already done three. Daryl, how many have you been at?
- 33:33Speaker 2: All of them. Yeah, that's right. All four. Yeah, me too.
- 33:38Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 33:38Speaker 2: Well, I should hope so.
- 33:40Speaker 6: It's your show.
- 33:41Speaker 2: Well, yeah.
- 33:42Speaker 7: Oh, man, you just said that without knowing what– oh,
- 33:45Speaker 7: that was great.
- 33:45Speaker 6: I think he knows. We're going to be playing some
- 33:47Speaker 6: games as well. So if you've been to the previous ones,
- 33:50Speaker 6: you'll love that. We've got the musical set. We've got
- 33:54Speaker 6: dress-up the dog games, like relays and stuff. If you've
- 33:58Speaker 6: never been there before, it's great fun.
- 34:01Speaker 2: It really is.
- 34:01Speaker 6: It gives me an excuse to– To abuse all members
- 34:05Speaker 6: of the European Union.
- 34:11Speaker 8: And it's great if you stand next to his wife, Penny,
- 34:13Speaker 8: while he's doing it, she's like, oh, there he goes again.
- 34:15Speaker 2: Exactly. German shepherd. Italian greyhound. French bulldog, Irish wolfhound. We
- 34:23Speaker 2: got them all down there.
- 34:25Speaker 7: The Irish wolfhound, I'm happy that you brought that up
- 34:27Speaker 7: because that's the most outstanding dog I've ever taken a
- 34:31Speaker 7: photo with. It blew my mind. I had to be
- 34:33Speaker 7: told it was a dog. I thought it was a pony.
- 34:36Speaker 2: No, Zeke.
- 34:37Speaker 6: We're going to have to drag it out of the
- 34:40Speaker 6: Guinness tent, aren't we?
- 34:41Speaker 2: And question for you. Fighting.
- 34:44Speaker 7: There are these special breeds, these show-stopping dogs that you
- 34:48Speaker 7: know when you take this dog out, it's going.
- 34:51Speaker 2: To be a thing.
- 34:53Speaker 7: How much of a different dog-owning experience is that? I
- 34:58Speaker 7: don't know if my ego could take it.
- 35:00Speaker 6: I'm going to get Pam to come along one day
- 35:03Speaker 6: with her dog again. Do you remember we brought them
- 35:04Speaker 6: in last time? We go to Disney Springs for the
- 35:09Speaker 6: final access test for therapy dogs, and It's always the same.
- 35:13Speaker 6: When we take that Irish wolfhound or those wolfhounds, and
- 35:17Speaker 6: Pam's come through three of our courses with her dogs.
- 35:19Speaker 2: Yeah, and there was a pair of them last.
- 35:21Speaker 17: Year, right?
- 35:21Speaker 2: It is a showstopper. It really is. It's like the
- 35:23Speaker 2: Serbian volleyball team. It's like it's all girls that are 6'5.
- 35:27Speaker 7: Is that a different dog-owning experience, or at the end
- 35:31Speaker 7: of the day, it's still a dog?
- 35:32Speaker 6: Well, no, because it's a magnet for people. You walk
- 35:35Speaker 6: down the road with that thing and people flock to it.
- 35:38Speaker 2: It's the same as having a small one, right? It's
- 35:40Speaker 2: the same kind of thing. It's just an anomaly that
- 35:41Speaker 2: the dog is so big. The same Bernard that comes
- 35:43Speaker 2: out and sees us as well. That's another one where
- 35:45Speaker 2: when that dog rolls by, you can feel it walk by.
- 35:48Speaker 3: Oh, it's also there's a huge mastiff that comes and
- 35:51Speaker 3: sees us.
- 35:51Speaker 2: I think that's 180 pounds. Was there a.
- 35:54Speaker 3: Cane Corso as well last year?
- 35:56Speaker 2: I believe there was a Cane Corso. There was that
- 35:57Speaker 2: Mastiff last year. That is enormous.
- 36:00Speaker 7: If they're a magnet towards people, do they get influenced
- 36:04Speaker 7: by that? Does that end up becoming part of the
- 36:06Speaker 7: dog's personality?
- 36:07Speaker 2: That's a great question.
- 36:09Speaker 6: Well, I think it does because I think they become
- 36:11Speaker 6: a couple. We had it because our boxer, Sophie, was
- 36:16Speaker 6: a hearing dog for our daughter. And so she went
- 36:18Speaker 6: on three Caribbean cruises with us.
- 36:20Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
- 36:21Speaker 6: And, you know, you walk down the Deck 5 or
- 36:25Speaker 6: wherever it was, where everything is. You walk down there,
- 36:27Speaker 6: and it takes you four hours to get down there
- 36:29Speaker 6: because everyone wants to stop.
- 36:31Speaker 2: It's like having a baby.
- 36:32Speaker 6: We ended up giving her our own Facebook page. She
- 36:34Speaker 6: went and got her nails done in the salon.
- 36:37Speaker 2: Wow.
- 36:39Speaker 6: We've got pictures of her in the casino playing slots.
- 36:43Speaker 2: I love it.
- 36:44Speaker 6: But everybody wants to see her. It was the precursor
- 36:49Speaker 6: for them getting that. or those golden retrievers on Royal Caribbean.
- 36:54Speaker 2: Oh, really? Yeah, because she was so popular.
- 36:56Speaker 14: Wow.
- 36:57Speaker 6: She was like everybody's service dog. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 37:01Speaker 2: But you do.
- 37:02Speaker 6: You tend to become very popular. It's great for people
- 37:06Speaker 6: that come along. We've had people come along on our
- 37:08Speaker 6: courses who really have been very shy, very reserved. And
- 37:13Speaker 6: it really brings them out of their shell as well
- 37:16Speaker 6: because they're– They're miracle workers.
- 37:18Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 37:19Speaker 3: When you see someone who may be confined to a
- 37:21Speaker 3: wheelchair and they finally get a service dog– Oh, yeah.
- 37:23Speaker 3: Many times they'll mention that that's the first time when
- 37:26Speaker 3: they're going through a park or on campus that people
- 37:28Speaker 3: will actually meet their eyes and talk to them instead
- 37:32Speaker 3: of avoiding eye contact because– The dog is that kind
- 37:35Speaker 3: of icebreaker for them.
- 37:36Speaker 2: What do you have to talk to them about, right?
- 37:38Speaker 2: I mean, it's kind of a wild thing where the
- 37:40Speaker 2: only thing you know is they're disabled, so you don't
- 37:41Speaker 2: want to start a conversation like that. But the dog
- 37:43Speaker 2: allows you to speak to them and learn more about
- 37:45Speaker 2: them and then kind of move into some other stuff.
- 37:47Speaker 6: We also find, though, that people will talk to the dog. Right.
- 37:51Speaker 6: We'd come along and someone would say, oh, and what's
- 37:53Speaker 6: your name?
- 37:53Speaker 2: And I'd say... It's Sophie.
- 37:55Speaker 6: Oh, hi, Sophie.
- 37:56Speaker 2: They haven't looked at me once. I talk to my
- 38:00Speaker 2: dog more. I always talk to my dog more because
- 38:02Speaker 2: my dog doesn't request me to hang crown moldings every
- 38:05Speaker 2: other day.
- 38:08Speaker 6: That's the thing.
- 38:08Speaker 2: Dogs don't ask where the measuring tape is, where the
- 38:10Speaker 2: miter saw is, or how long it's going to take
- 38:12Speaker 2: to rake. None of that. My dog asks none of
- 38:14Speaker 2: those things.
- 38:14Speaker 3: But again, Daryl, what are folks going to get when
- 38:17Speaker 3: they stop by the Pawfection dog training tent at Suds, Pups,
- 38:20Speaker 3: and Pints?
- 38:20Speaker 6: Well, I think they come over and say, we've got
- 38:22Speaker 6: advice for you anyway. So if you've got problems with
- 38:24Speaker 6: your dog and you can't get on air or whatever,
- 38:26Speaker 6: or something happens between now and then, come and talk
- 38:29Speaker 6: to me. We can talk through the problems. Um, if
- 38:31Speaker 6: you come and see us, um, as long as your
- 38:33Speaker 6: dog's not human or dog aggressive, we'll give you a
- 38:35Speaker 6: free session over in Oviedo.
- 38:37Speaker 1: Nice.
- 38:37Speaker 6: Come and play, you know, come and see the, uh,
- 38:39Speaker 6: the obedience, the agility. It's a huge setup over there.
- 38:43Speaker 6: So come and do a free session. You know, you
- 38:44Speaker 6: might like it.
- 38:45Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 38:45Speaker 2: It's always fun, man, for sure. And everybody who does it, uh,
- 38:48Speaker 2: you know, my daughter's had her, um, uh, she has
- 38:50Speaker 2: an Aussie that is really kind of sketchy and, uh,
- 38:54Speaker 2: she brought them in. You guys did great things for him.
- 38:56Speaker 2: So I know that you can do the work for sure.
- 38:58Speaker 6: And if it is dog or human aggressive, talk to us.
- 39:01Speaker 6: We can get it fixed. You know, these problems aren't unfixable.
- 39:05Speaker 5: Right, yeah.
- 39:05Speaker 6: You know, you don't have to suffer in silence and
- 39:07Speaker 6: you'll have a nicer life with your dog.
- 39:08Speaker 2: Yes. Because it can go places with you. And the
- 39:11Speaker 2: dog will be less of a liability. That's the one
- 39:13Speaker 2: thing I used to tell my daughter, man, you got
- 39:14Speaker 2: to be very careful who you bring in this house
- 39:15Speaker 2: because this dog is very protective and aggressive. And that is...
- 39:18Speaker 2: you know, you're opening, opening yourself up for liability or
- 39:21Speaker 2: you'll be really cool. Well, especially with the new dangerous
- 39:23Speaker 2: dog act. Yeah.
- 39:24Speaker 6: And actually speaking of which we have got our new
- 39:29Speaker 6: website finally up and running.
- 39:31Speaker 2: It looks great.
- 39:32Speaker 6: I know I've been talking about it for years now,
- 39:34Speaker 6: but it actually is now there. So if you go
- 39:35Speaker 6: on the website, we've got some really good deals up
- 39:39Speaker 6: to October 31st as well.
- 39:41Speaker 2: Cool.
- 39:42Speaker 6: So if they want, people want to go on there,
- 39:43Speaker 6: look at the special offers. There's, there's a few different
- 39:47Speaker 6: ones on there, but it is, What do we say
- 39:49Speaker 6: in England? We say it's a fair whack-off, don't we?
- 39:51Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, that's good. That's in England.
- 39:54Speaker 2: That's in England. Wow. And it's a show title here
- 39:59Speaker 2: in America. All right, 407-916-1041. Text 77031. Daryl is here.
- 40:02Speaker 2: If you have an issue with your dog's behavior, you're
- 40:04Speaker 2: welcome to call. Again, that's 407-916-1041. We will take these
- 40:06Speaker 2: calls next break. But we also have... A really cool
- 40:11Speaker 2: thing that we've kind of started, we were supposed to
- 40:12Speaker 2: do that this segment, but we're talking about suds, pups,
- 40:14Speaker 2: and pints, but it's five things you can actually catch
- 40:17Speaker 2: from your dog. That has been a big thing. Like,
- 40:19Speaker 2: can your dog catch a cold from you? Can you
- 40:21Speaker 2: catch a cold from your dog? Can you do any
- 40:23Speaker 2: of that stuff? We'll answer all those questions next here
- 40:24Speaker 2: with Daryl Payne from Pawfection Dog Training.
- 40:27Speaker 18: Good morning, Colbert Carew. Man, Jimmy, you're feeling a little
- 40:30Speaker 18: self-conscious today, huh? Shouldn't be letting a couple inches get
- 40:33Speaker 18: you down. We got suds, pops, and pints this weekend.
- 40:36Speaker 18: It's going to be a great time. And I'm going
- 40:38Speaker 18: to come out and assert myself as king of the
- 40:40Speaker 18: dunk tank. But, beside all that, I actually have a
- 40:43Speaker 18: friend that was telling me about her dog and saying
- 40:46Speaker 18: her dog will retrieve a ball from over a mile away.
- 40:49Speaker 18: She says it's true, but I find it rather far-fetched.
- 40:54Speaker 2: Big T out. I can't wait to get less of that.
- 41:00Speaker 2: I'm going to be honest. All right, 407-916-1041. Text us
- 41:05Speaker 2: at 77031. I'm Jim. There's Deb.
- 41:07Speaker 10: Hello.
- 41:07Speaker 2: Jack is here as well. Yeah. So is Ross. It's true.
- 41:11Speaker 2: Let's do Animal House. She likes them fuzzy, furry, feathery, tough,
- 41:16Speaker 2: and scaly.
- 41:18Speaker 1: It's time for Animal House with Debra Roberts.
- 41:21Speaker 3: And Animal House is generously brought to us each and
- 41:24Speaker 3: every week by personal injury attorney Glenn Klausman, who is
- 41:27Speaker 3: also the presenting sponsor of our fourth annual Suds, Pups,
- 41:30Speaker 3: and Pints. And another big guest, put your hands together
- 41:33Speaker 3: once again for Daryl Payne.
- 41:36Speaker 2: Hot fashion dog training. How are you doing, Daryl?
- 41:40Speaker 6: That's what I like about doing two segments. I get
- 41:41Speaker 6: two cheers.
- 41:42Speaker 2: That's right. That's right. Two cheers.
- 41:45Speaker 6: That's all I get for the whole month, actually. The
- 41:48Speaker 6: only people pleased to see me. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 41:51Speaker 2: And we're faking it. I'm going to be honest. Yeah,
- 41:52Speaker 2: I know. I know. Daryl comes by from Pawfection Dog
- 41:55Speaker 2: Training about once a month to sit in and answer
- 41:58Speaker 2: questions about your dog's behavior. We can do that. If
- 42:00Speaker 2: you have a question, you can certainly call 407-916-1041. But
- 42:04Speaker 2: Daryl also kind of came up with this cool sheet
- 42:06Speaker 2: that says five things you can catch from your dog. Now,
- 42:09Speaker 2: just take a little thing here. When Jeter was alive, Jack,
- 42:13Speaker 2: did you allow Jeter to give you dog kisses? Dog kisses, no.
- 42:18Speaker 2: Like lick your face? No, but he would sleep in
- 42:21Speaker 2: our bed. Okay. I was always on the fence with that. Okay. Ross?
- 42:26Speaker 2: I mean, non-consensually, yes.
- 42:28Speaker 18: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 42:29Speaker 2: And from her to me. That sounds worse. Yeah, and
- 42:32Speaker 2: from her to me. Yeah, it is worse. I don't
- 42:34Speaker 2: like it.
- 42:35Speaker 3: Uh when your dog was with us no i wouldn't
- 42:37Speaker 3: let him kiss me on the face or on the
- 42:39Speaker 3: mouth or anything oh.
- 42:40Speaker 2: No we let ours licked up by me we just licked.
- 42:43Speaker 9: No way oh yeah yeah actually yes we know it's
- 42:47Speaker 9: not good i remember seeing that for the first time
- 42:50Speaker 9: and i remember like distinctly thinking like oh i didn't
- 42:53Speaker 9: know jim was one of those people.
- 42:54Speaker 6: Yeah i mean i've come across people and you'd be
- 42:57Speaker 6: surprised you know they open their mouth up and the
- 42:59Speaker 6: dog's tongue gets right in there like it's cleaning.
- 43:02Speaker 7: Get out of here no no horrible sounds like cash
- 43:06Speaker 7: patel fans.
- 43:06Speaker 2: Uh did you would you let your dog drink out
- 43:11Speaker 2: of your cup no like if you had water and
- 43:13Speaker 2: your dog was like you know would you jack no
- 43:15Speaker 2: that's what kind of animal would do.
- 43:18Speaker 3: This oh my god are you actually saying you let
- 43:20Speaker 3: your dog drink out of your cup that's right because
- 43:22Speaker 3: she likes the ice water.
- 43:24Speaker 2: You are gross me either Angie Renner.
- 43:27Speaker 6: Annie and I went to a place once and they
- 43:30Speaker 6: had the mug of tea.
- 43:32Speaker 2: This was in England.
- 43:33Speaker 6: Mug of tea, and halfway through the drink, they put
- 43:36Speaker 6: the drink down, the dog drank some of the tea out,
- 43:38Speaker 6: and then they continued to drink it themselves.
- 43:40Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I have consumed water after my dog
- 43:44Speaker 2: had water. I have done that. Out of the dog's bowl,
- 43:46Speaker 2: or did you have your own cup? Out of my cup.
- 43:49Speaker 2: She likes... Every night before I go to bed, I
- 43:51Speaker 2: get up my Yeti full of ice water, and there
- 43:54Speaker 2: for a while, she would come over and beg to
- 43:56Speaker 2: have some ice water, and she doesn't do that anymore,
- 43:58Speaker 2: but for a while, we let that happen. So here's
- 44:00Speaker 2: the problem, you see, because.
- 44:01Speaker 6: everybody thinks that the dog's mouth is the cleanest place
- 44:04Speaker 6: because when they get a An injury a cut on
- 44:07Speaker 6: their paw or something like that. They lick it and
- 44:10Speaker 6: it gets better. So there's this But they also do
- 44:12Speaker 6: that to their butthole Oh, I've cut myself and let
- 44:17Speaker 6: the dog lick it. Yeah, but of course They've already
- 44:20Speaker 6: got all the bugs in their mouth. They can deal
- 44:22Speaker 6: with it. We can't yeah Yeah things that you can
- 44:24Speaker 6: get from your dogs have we're talking about sleeping in
- 44:27Speaker 6: the bed and then the biggest problems are things like fleas, ticks,
- 44:32Speaker 6: things like that.
- 44:33Speaker 2: Because a tick doesn't.
- 44:34Speaker 6: Live on a dog. A tick jumps onto a dog
- 44:37Speaker 6: when you're outside. It feeds on the dog. And when
- 44:39Speaker 6: it's full, when it blows up like a little balloon,
- 44:42Speaker 6: when it's full, it drops off. And it actually lives
- 44:45Speaker 6: in the environment. And then when it's hungry again, it
- 44:48Speaker 6: jumps back on the host, on the dog again. Now,
- 44:52Speaker 6: if your dog's in your bed and it's got a
- 44:53Speaker 6: tick and the tick falls off, Guess what? When the
- 44:55Speaker 6: tick's hungry, you're the new host. And you can get
- 44:59Speaker 6: Lyme's disease from that.
- 45:01Speaker 1: Oh, wow.
- 45:01Speaker 2: That's really nasty. Let's go through some of these here,
- 45:03Speaker 2: starting with number one there.
- 45:05Speaker 6: So ringworm. A bit sort of misleading, really, because it's
- 45:09Speaker 6: not a worm. Ringworm is a fungal infection. It gets
- 45:13Speaker 6: the name because it gives like a circular.
- 45:17Speaker 2: Red ring effect.
- 45:18Speaker 6: Around your skin. These are called zoonotic diseases or zoonosis.
- 45:24Speaker 6: That's a disease that is transferable between humans and dogs.
- 45:31Speaker 6: So this is the gifts you get from your dog
- 45:33Speaker 6: with ringworm. You're going to get the itchy, circular rash.
- 45:38Speaker 6: And then the scaly red patches.
- 45:40Speaker 2: Everybody in Florida understands what ringworm is because everybody has
- 45:43Speaker 2: stomped around in a mud puddle and gotten it. So
- 45:46Speaker 2: you'll get that from your dog. Be sure it's.
- 45:49Speaker 3: From Florida and not from you.
- 45:53Speaker 2: This is when I was a kid. Shut it.
- 45:55Speaker 5: Okay.
- 45:55Speaker 2: When you were a kid? What? Okay, stop. Baxter was
- 45:58Speaker 2: like a couple of years ago.
- 46:01Speaker 6: So Giardia is, and a lot of people will hear
- 46:04Speaker 6: this because you hear it a lot with the dog's
- 46:06Speaker 6: got Giardia and all that sort of thing.
- 46:08Speaker 2: She's the cute cook on Food Channel. What a lot
- 46:10Speaker 2: of people don't realize is you can get it from
- 46:12Speaker 2: your dog as well. So if your dog does have Giardia,
- 46:15Speaker 2: it's a parasite. And the parasite gift is diarrhea, stomach cramps, nausea,
- 46:20Speaker 2: and bloating. Yeah, all I see is weight loss. And cleaning. Yeah,
- 46:27Speaker 2: I see. It's better fitting jeans and that one, keep talking.
- 46:30Speaker 6: Salmonella, something which if you feed your dog raw foods,
- 46:34Speaker 6: a lot of people who are on raw diets and
- 46:35Speaker 6: stuff like that, salmonella is something which does become a problem.
- 46:40Speaker 6: The dog can get salmonella, but so can you in
- 46:43Speaker 6: the preparation of the food as well. So salmonella is
- 46:45Speaker 6: something which is equally dangerous. shared between humans and dogs.
- 46:50Speaker 3: And what's interesting is that, and you can see this
- 46:53Speaker 3: on our YouTube channel if you're watching us, I did
- 46:55Speaker 3: not realize that dogs can carry salmonella without appearing sick.
- 46:59Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 47:00Speaker 6: You might not even see there's anything wrong. I mean,
- 47:03Speaker 6: you'll know if you get it because you're in the
- 47:05Speaker 6: weight loss program of Jim.
- 47:07Speaker 2: Right, exactly.
- 47:08Speaker 6: The JCS weight loss program of diarrhea, fever, stomach cramps,
- 47:12Speaker 6: and nausea.
- 47:12Speaker 2: Yeah, they call it the inside-out program. Everything on the
- 47:14Speaker 2: inside goes out.
- 47:15Speaker 5: Diarrhea.
- 47:16Speaker 2: Yeah. Campylobacter.
- 47:19Speaker 6: Campylobacter, another bacteria, another gift. And then another one that's
- 47:25Speaker 6: going to give you diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever.
- 47:27Speaker 2: But this one also has the added feature of bloody stools. Yes.
- 47:33Speaker 6: I have that a lot at home, actually. I go,
- 47:35Speaker 6: where's that bloody stool?
- 47:36Speaker 2: Because Penny keeps moving it to clean. That's not in
- 47:42Speaker 2: the song. I'm not quite sure the link there between
- 47:46Speaker 2: furniture and... So if you want... I mean, a lot
- 47:49Speaker 2: of this is like stomach-related stuff, right? Three out of
- 47:52Speaker 2: the five are.
- 47:53Speaker 6: Most of the things are. And then finally, hookworm, which is, again,
- 47:56Speaker 6: it's a parasite. Hookworm, you're going to get the itchy, red,
- 48:00Speaker 6: winding rash and the skin irritation. Hookworm, something that the
- 48:06Speaker 6: dog's going to pick up in dog parks, places like that.
- 48:09Speaker 6: Because we're not just talking about um, your own dogs.
- 48:13Speaker 4: Right.
- 48:14Speaker 6: We're talking about other people's dogs, people don't pick up
- 48:17Speaker 6: after their dogs. Um, and then you come along and,
- 48:20Speaker 6: you know, you might just tread in it and then
- 48:21Speaker 6: you touch your, you know, your footwear and then it
- 48:24Speaker 6: goes on your hands. Um, Any of these things, it's
- 48:27Speaker 6: not just allowing your dog to French kiss you, which
- 48:30Speaker 6: is a problem, which is also weird. But it's also
- 48:33Speaker 6: if the dog's licking your hands, your fingers, you know,
- 48:36Speaker 6: if you give it some food and it licks it
- 48:38Speaker 6: all off, you know, all off your fingers, and then
- 48:40Speaker 6: you forget about it and you put your hand in
- 48:43Speaker 6: your mouth.
- 48:43Speaker 2: So what you're saying is, although it feels cool. Not
- 48:48Speaker 2: as cool as cats, because cats have got those little
- 48:49Speaker 2: raspy tongues. Yeah, they do have rough tongues. It's like
- 48:53Speaker 2: 80 grit sandbags.
- 48:55Speaker 6: So so really uh the the message here really is
- 48:59Speaker 6: cleanliness you know if you if you are handling any
- 49:02Speaker 6: kind of dog or you've been to the dog park
- 49:04Speaker 6: washing your hands um that that kind of thing is
- 49:07Speaker 6: the most important because there are a lot of things
- 49:09Speaker 6: and that's only a small section of what you can
- 49:11Speaker 6: get from your dog really oh wow you don't want
- 49:13Speaker 6: tapeworm for a start.
- 49:14Speaker 2: You damn sure don't want that right Nope, nope, nope.
- 49:17Speaker 2: Good weight loss again. I was going to say, I
- 49:19Speaker 2: don't care what the supermodels say. Nope.
- 49:21Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 49:21Speaker 2: Is tapeworm the worm? When they worm a dog, when
- 49:24Speaker 2: the dog is first born... or like eight weeks, whatever,
- 49:27Speaker 2: and they evacuate that like the number two way.
- 49:32Speaker 6: Is that the tapeworm? There's lots of worms in copies.
- 49:34Speaker 6: They're wormy little things.
- 49:36Speaker 2: Yeah, because when we did Dexter that, once the medicine
- 49:40Speaker 2: hit him, he couldn't wait. He went in the house.
- 49:43Speaker 2: um thank god on a tile floor but man what
- 49:45Speaker 2: came out was horrifying like a horror movie because it
- 49:49Speaker 2: was i mean they were alive yeah yeah because they
- 49:52Speaker 2: give them something that so what happens is they attach
- 49:54Speaker 2: on the inside of the intestinal wall and this medication
- 49:57Speaker 2: i guess makes them release so when they release the
- 49:59Speaker 2: dog gets rid of them through the normal process of
- 50:01Speaker 2: doing it but buddy when you see that happen that
- 50:04Speaker 2: is like alien one stuff i mean that is like
- 50:06Speaker 2: uh That's like a Hollywood magic stuff.
- 50:09Speaker 7: So it's like a pinata with a sequel?
- 50:12Speaker 2: It is doing number two, and number two is alive.
- 50:17Speaker 6: And that's the thing. Really, what you should do is
- 50:21Speaker 6: make it part of your regime that when the dog
- 50:23Speaker 6: does its first poop in the morning, you don't just
- 50:26Speaker 6: pick it up. Actually, just inspect it. Look for worms
- 50:29Speaker 6: and stuff. Blood in there or worms in there, things
- 50:32Speaker 6: like that. That's when you're going to get the first
- 50:34Speaker 6: clue that there's something wrong.
- 50:35Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 50:36Speaker 6: Something wrong can end up going into the kids. And,
- 50:39Speaker 6: you know, some of these dog diseases can cause blindness
- 50:42Speaker 6: in children. So this is why, you know, cleanliness is
- 50:46Speaker 6: so important. And if your dog gets fleas, don't just
- 50:48Speaker 6: treat the dog. You've got to treat the environment as well.
- 50:51Speaker 6: So fleas and ticks, things like that. If the dog
- 50:54Speaker 6: gets it, treat the whole environment, the carpets.
- 50:58Speaker 2: The yard, everything.
- 50:59Speaker 6: Because otherwise it will just keep getting reinfected.
- 51:01Speaker 2: And if you're wondering, you just throw your bedding in
- 51:03Speaker 2: the dryer and run it on the hottest temperature for
- 51:05Speaker 2: like 45 minutes and it'll wipe everything out, right?
- 51:07Speaker 6: Wipe all the ticks out and everything like that. And
- 51:08Speaker 6: it's going to take two or three baths for the dog.
- 51:09Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 51:10Speaker 2: Uh, dare bear.
- 51:10Speaker 7: I wanted to ask you this right before you left
- 51:12Speaker 7: is that it's kind of a sad question. So I'm
- 51:14Speaker 7: sorry for anyone who gets bummed out, but I had
- 51:17Speaker 7: a dog that just passed a couple of months ago.
- 51:19Speaker 7: I have another dog also as well. And during, while
- 51:23Speaker 7: that whole thing, that whole, uh, event happened, my dog
- 51:26Speaker 7: really didn't care, but then a day went by, she
- 51:29Speaker 7: didn't care. And then a week went by and then
- 51:32Speaker 7: I started picking up on my other dog is acting
- 51:35Speaker 7: like Differently ever since the other dog passed. And now
- 51:39Speaker 7: it's gotten to the point, because my other dog is
- 51:42Speaker 7: buried in my backyard, that my dog that I have
- 51:46Speaker 7: right now won't really go in the backyard anymore.
- 51:50Speaker 2: Wow, really?
- 51:51Speaker 7: So now whenever we open up the front door, she
- 51:55Speaker 7: wants to book it and use the front yard to
- 51:58Speaker 7: use the bathroom. Or am I just projecting this drama
- 52:03Speaker 7: on my dog?
- 52:04Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 52:04Speaker 6: Well, no, I think dogs do get very attached to
- 52:06Speaker 6: each other because, I mean, when you think about it,
- 52:09Speaker 6: they spend the most time together. So they do get
- 52:12Speaker 6: very attached to each other, and some dogs can take
- 52:14Speaker 6: it very, very hard when another dog dies.
- 52:17Speaker 2: But would the dog be able to know that the
- 52:18Speaker 2: other dog was buried out there? Yeah, they could smell it.
- 52:20Speaker 6: I mean, she was also there. See, what's going to
- 52:23Speaker 6: happen is … You made her watch? When a body decomposes,
- 52:29Speaker 6: the gases are going to come up through the ground.
- 52:31Speaker 2: Right, yeah, yeah.
- 52:32Speaker 6: When we used to look for cadavers, for dead bodies
- 52:35Speaker 6: with police dogs … You know, it really, most of
- 52:38Speaker 6: the skill was identifying a possible site, but then just
- 52:41Speaker 6: a small hole in the ground. And the dog's job
- 52:43Speaker 6: was to smell that hole in the ground. And they
- 52:45Speaker 6: can smell decomposition up to about 70 years old.
- 52:49Speaker 2: Well, let me tell you something interesting. I can prove that.
- 52:51Speaker 2: There was one of these murder shows that we watch
- 52:53Speaker 2: on TV. There was one about a girl who remembered
- 52:57Speaker 2: her father killing people, but she couldn't remember where it was.
- 52:59Speaker 2: But she swore he dumped him in a well. He's
- 53:02Speaker 2: a psychopath, killed like eight or ten women. They couldn't
- 53:05Speaker 2: figure out where it was. The place she thought it was,
- 53:07Speaker 2: it wasn't there. Then she kind of had a dream
- 53:09Speaker 2: or remembered something. They went to a spot where they
- 53:12Speaker 2: thought it was. It was all grown up. You couldn't
- 53:13Speaker 2: even see a well or anything. And the dog alerted immediately.
- 53:16Speaker 2: And that would have been 30 years ago. It's the
- 53:18Speaker 2: same with underwater. They take dogs out on boats because...
- 53:22Speaker 2: When a body is under the water, if it's weighted down,
- 53:25Speaker 2: the gases come up, the bubbles pop on the top,
- 53:28Speaker 2: and then the dogs can pick up that scent from
- 53:29Speaker 2: the top.
- 53:30Speaker 7: And I'm not that strong, so I'm not that good
- 53:33Speaker 7: with a shovel.
- 53:34Speaker 2: It's not that deep?
- 53:36Speaker 7: I mean, I think it's deep enough. There's no instruction
- 53:39Speaker 7: manual for that.
- 53:40Speaker 2: One paw sticking out? No, it's not one.
- 53:41Speaker 4: No.
- 53:42Speaker 7: Okay.
- 53:42Speaker 2: They're always good to see you, buddy. Oh, my God.
- 53:45Speaker 2: Great to be here.
- 53:46Speaker 6: What a way to end it. Everyone on Saturday, I'll
- 53:48Speaker 6: be driving back from Alabama on Friday night. Ready for
- 53:51Speaker 6: Saturday morning over at Vito, and then I'll be over

- 55:35Speaker 2: Text us, 77031. Our buddy Scott Maxwell up next. Welcome
- 55:51Speaker 2: back to the Jim Culver Show, Radio 104.1. I am Jim.
- 55:54Speaker 2: There's Deb, Jack, and Ross. Every single Wednesday around this time,
- 55:59Speaker 2: our good friend joins us from the Orlando Sentinel. He
- 56:02Speaker 2: writes there Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. Guys, good and loud
- 56:04Speaker 2: for Mr. Scott Maxwell. Yay! I am excited to be here.
- 56:13Speaker 2: I wish I could say the same for Ross.
- 56:15Speaker 19: I noticed that Ross got on screen, saw my face,
- 56:18Speaker 19: and started yawning like he could not keep.
- 56:21Speaker 2: His eyes open anymore. No, I'm yawning because I've done
- 56:24Speaker 2: so much already today. All right, sure. All right, let's
- 56:29Speaker 2: do it. Yeah, let's get mad. They call him Sweet
- 56:33Speaker 2: Heat from his head to his feet. Sizzling hot like
- 56:37Speaker 2: an asphalt street. Dripping to the swag of an Orlando Sentinel. Beat, beat, beat.
- 56:43Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, columnist Scott. Taking to the mad swell.
- 56:49Speaker 2: There he is, Mr. Scott Maxwell. I've got to remember you.
- 56:53Speaker 7: Have an intro.
- 56:53Speaker 2: I never remember you have an intro. It only took
- 56:56Speaker 2: us 20 years. Let's get right to it, buddy, because
- 56:59Speaker 2: I've got to tell you, I think what you wrote
- 57:00Speaker 2: about today is valuable enough to take up every single
- 57:04Speaker 2: second we have with you, because this story is really
- 57:07Speaker 2: kind of unbelievable. I mean, as far as the rankings go,
- 57:10Speaker 2: this has to be one of the most important stories
- 57:12Speaker 2: you've written this year.
- 57:14Speaker 4: It is.
- 57:15Speaker 2: Go ahead, Deb.
- 57:15Speaker 3: I just wanted to mention real quick, Scott, that as
- 57:18Speaker 3: we're talking about this, for folks to think about everything
- 57:21Speaker 3: we've been told about why we should pass Amendment 3.
- 57:25Speaker 3: So as Scott talks about this very, very important story,
- 57:29Speaker 3: just keep it in mind with all the reasons why
- 57:32Speaker 3: politicians say, oh, you've got to pass Amendment 3.
- 57:34Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, yeah.
- 57:36Speaker 19: Yeah, so I'm going to cut to the chase and
- 57:38Speaker 19: do a little bit of the spoiler here. And that
- 57:41Speaker 19: is that we published a story this past weekend that
- 57:45Speaker 19: the Florida Senate threatened to sue and or imprison us
- 57:51Speaker 19: if we published. And the damning document that we got
- 57:57Speaker 19: hold of was about insurance companies in Florida. And the
- 58:01Speaker 19: backstory is that, as you all know, insurance rates have just,
- 58:05Speaker 19: you know, they're sky high in Florida. And their rate
- 58:10Speaker 19: increases have to be approved by Florida regulators. And twice now,
- 58:15Speaker 19: lawmakers have passed reform that make it harder for you
- 58:19Speaker 19: to sue your company. Even if you get denied out
- 58:22Speaker 19: of a benefit to which you are entitled, it.
- 58:25Speaker 2: Is harder to sue them.
- 58:26Speaker 19: And the whole argument for all of this thing has
- 58:29Speaker 19: been that insurance companies are losing money.
- 58:31Speaker 2: That was their claim. They lost money.
- 58:33Speaker 19: Well, it turns out the state, using your tax dollars, $ 150, 000,
- 58:37Speaker 19: paid a consultant to vet the claim's of the insurance companies.
- 58:44Speaker 19: This was four years ago. This was back in 2022.
- 58:47Speaker 19: And what that consultant found when they dove into it
- 58:51Speaker 19: was that many of these companies were not losing money.
- 58:53Speaker 19: They had set up affiliate companies. And by that, I
- 58:57Speaker 19: mean that if my company is Acme, Florida, I set
- 59:00Speaker 19: up a company.
- 59:00Speaker 2: Called Acme Delaware.
- 59:02Speaker 19: And then if I have $ 100 million here in Florida,
- 59:04Speaker 19: I send $ 90 million of it to.
- 59:10Speaker 2: Acme Delaware, and then.
- 59:11Speaker 19: I go, oh my gosh, I only have $ 10 million left,
- 59:14Speaker 19: and that's not enough for me to make payroll and
- 59:15Speaker 19: keep my doors open. Now, theoretically, I'm sending it to
- 59:18Speaker 19: Acme Delaware for services like HR or something like that.
- 59:22Speaker 2: Right, whatever, right. Right, whatever. But this consultant went and
- 59:25Speaker 2: looked at them and found that 50 companies, and that's,
- 59:29Speaker 2: I think, the lion's share of them in Florida, had
- 59:33Speaker 2: reported a collective 400 and they claim to have lost
- 59:37Speaker 2: $ 430 million. So that sounds bad. Yes.
- 59:41Speaker 19: Sounds like, oh, my gosh, we should give them rate increases.
- 59:43Speaker 19: We should stop letting people sue them. They claim to
- 59:45Speaker 19: have lost $ 430 million, had actually sent $ 1.
- 59:47Speaker 2: 3 billion in. To their affiliates in other parts of
- 59:54Speaker 2: the nation. So they could cry poor mouth and tell
- 59:58Speaker 2: you they had to raise your rates because they were
- 59:59Speaker 2: going broke because of the hurricanes or the fraud or
- 1:00:02Speaker 2: whatever the case may be.
- 1:00:04Speaker 19: And at this point in time, somebody, if there's an
- 1:00:05Speaker 19: insurance lobbyist out there going to say, no, no, no, no, Scott,
- 1:00:09Speaker 19: these companies are allowed to pay their affiliates for something else.
- 1:00:11Speaker 2: They are allowed to.
- 1:00:12Speaker 19: But what this consultant said was he honed in on
- 1:00:15Speaker 19: these companies saying these are way above these. There's a
- 1:00:18Speaker 19: standard called fair and reasonable fees. These companies are all
- 1:00:22Speaker 19: paying beyond fair and reasonable fees.
- 1:00:25Speaker 2: So to set that stage. Your tax dollars paid for
- 1:00:28Speaker 2: this report.
- 1:00:29Speaker 19: Your tax dollars found that these companies were presenting a
- 1:00:32Speaker 19: very misleading picture about their finances. And then the Senate
- 1:00:37Speaker 19: and the state sat on this report for four years,
- 1:00:40Speaker 19: did not let it be disclosed.
- 1:00:42Speaker 2: Our paper.
- 1:00:43Speaker 19: Along with our sister paper, the South Florida Sun Sentinel
- 1:00:46Speaker 19: out of Lauderdale, we began a year-long crusade of trying
- 1:00:50Speaker 19: to understand the insurance rates. And a lot of it
- 1:00:52Speaker 19: was about things like this, things that just didn't add up.
- 1:00:55Speaker 19: Like companies saying they were poor and about to go
- 1:00:59Speaker 19: broke and then turning in an SEC filing that showed
- 1:01:02Speaker 19: the CEO was making $ 21 million.
- 1:01:05Speaker 2: Those two things just, we struggled to add up.
- 1:01:07Speaker 19: So we did a big public records request And the
- 1:01:10Speaker 19: Senate gave us this report, which they'd never released before,
- 1:01:13Speaker 19: never shared it with the public. It showed companies were
- 1:01:18Speaker 19: making money when they were losing money.
- 1:01:20Speaker 2: Well, after we got the document, we started asking about it.
- 1:01:24Speaker 2: And that's when, you know what, hit the fan.
- 1:01:26Speaker 19: The Senate said, oh, my God, we didn't mean to
- 1:01:28Speaker 19: give them that document because everybody looks like a bunch
- 1:01:31Speaker 19: of damn liars. Because they are. So then they claimed
- 1:01:35Speaker 19: this was trade secrets. This was a trade secret of
- 1:01:38Speaker 19: the insurance industry. Now, keep in mind, the only secret
- 1:01:41Speaker 19: here is are you following the rules for whether you're
- 1:01:44Speaker 19: paying your.
- 1:01:44Speaker 2: Affiliates too much money?
- 1:01:46Speaker 19: So the Senate General Counsel, with the authority granted by
- 1:01:50Speaker 19: Senate President Ben Alberton and Jason Brodeur, his name, he's
- 1:01:55Speaker 19: the Senate pro tem right here in Seminole County, sent
- 1:01:58Speaker 19: our journalists a note that said, A, you cannot write
- 1:02:01Speaker 19: about this project. about this paper b you have to
- 1:02:05Speaker 19: shred any physical copies you've uh you've printed out about
- 1:02:09Speaker 19: this copy c if you do post it we can
- 1:02:12Speaker 19: sue you and d we can also go after you
- 1:02:15Speaker 19: for third degree felonies and just in case anybody's wondering
- 1:02:18Speaker 19: that's like punishable by up to five years in prison
- 1:02:21Speaker 19: behind bars so and i gotta tell you there's a
- 1:02:25Speaker 19: lot of people who would have buckled Under such a thing. Because,
- 1:02:28Speaker 19: you know, these people have the power of the police
- 1:02:29Speaker 19: state behind them. But very much to our credit, the
- 1:02:33Speaker 19: editors of both papers said hell to the no.
- 1:02:36Speaker 2: Yay! Hell to the no.
- 1:02:40Speaker 19: And the general reason– and this is what I was writing.
- 1:02:43Speaker 19: My column is because unlike these blowhards and bureaucrats, we're
- 1:02:46Speaker 19: not in the business of hiding information from the public
- 1:02:49Speaker 19: we're supposed to be serving.
- 1:02:51Speaker 2: They paid for it. We paid for it. We paid
- 1:02:54Speaker 2: for the information they sat on for four years so
- 1:02:56Speaker 2: that insurance lobby could go in and tell you they
- 1:02:58Speaker 2: had to raise the rates the whole time. He calls
- 1:03:02Speaker 2: DeSantis calls a special session, one of four, one of three,
- 1:03:05Speaker 2: so that he could push through a legislation that they
- 1:03:07Speaker 2: created in two days to create Amendment three and throw
- 1:03:10Speaker 2: the entire thing into disarray. That all happened within a week.
- 1:03:14Speaker 2: That was a weekend, wasn't it? Sure. Well, you're right.
- 1:03:18Speaker 2: They did. I think there were three of them. But yes,
- 1:03:20Speaker 2: one of them, I think, was like 48 hours.
- 1:03:22Speaker 7: Yes, 48 hours.
- 1:03:22Speaker 19: They pushed this through in 48 hours. And the whole
- 1:03:27Speaker 19: argument was that you have to– the industry is collapsing.
- 1:03:31Speaker 19: If we don't do this, then the industry is going
- 1:03:33Speaker 19: to collapse. And one of the points I've made is, listen,
- 1:03:36Speaker 19: nobody suffers delusions that Florida is a great real estate market.
- 1:03:40Speaker 19: We got hurricanes. We got all this kind of stuff.
- 1:03:42Speaker 19: But if you're going to spend public money on these solutions–
- 1:03:46Speaker 19: The public deserves every damn bit of information out there
- 1:03:49Speaker 19: about why we're spending our money and why we're giving
- 1:03:51Speaker 19: special treatment to an industry, an industry, by the way,
- 1:03:55Speaker 19: that has a track record of denying good people valid claims.
- 1:03:58Speaker 19: I mean, you have heard stories from your listeners, people
- 1:04:01Speaker 19: who've paid their policies year after year after year. They
- 1:04:04Speaker 19: never make a claim. And then all of a sudden,
- 1:04:06Speaker 19: one thing happens. They file it and they get denied.
- 1:04:09Speaker 19: They get canceled. They get rate increases.
- 1:04:12Speaker 2: Yeah, this state does not go.
- 1:04:15Speaker 19: I guess my argument has been I would like the
- 1:04:17Speaker 19: state to go as aggressively after insurance companies that are
- 1:04:20Speaker 19: breaking the rules and denying claims as they are after
- 1:04:24Speaker 19: the journalists who are trying to tell the truth.
- 1:04:26Speaker 3: What happened to the sunshine law in this state, Scott?
- 1:04:30Speaker 3: State government is supposed to happen in the sunshine because
- 1:04:33Speaker 3: it's a great antiseptic.
- 1:04:34Speaker 2: It's cloudy. It's very cloudy. Very cloudy, yeah. We are
- 1:04:40Speaker 2: in a new.
- 1:04:41Speaker 19: really troubling state in this state. And one of the
- 1:04:44Speaker 19: other points I made in this piece is that I
- 1:04:46Speaker 19: think people get numb to this, right? You just see
- 1:04:49Speaker 19: stories like this. You should not get numb to it.
- 1:04:51Speaker 19: This is scary stuff. This is police state. This is
- 1:04:53Speaker 19: what you read about in dictator type countries, because this
- 1:04:57Speaker 19: is not the first one. Don't forget that when Hope
- 1:04:59Speaker 19: Florida first started.
- 1:05:01Speaker 2: And that whole scandal, one of our reporters said, just
- 1:05:04Speaker 2: wanted to understand what Hope Florida was supposed to remember.
- 1:05:07Speaker 19: It was a charity supposedly funded up. And started asking questions.
- 1:05:11Speaker 19: The state of Florida sent our newspaper a cease and
- 1:05:14Speaker 19: desist order to stop.
- 1:05:16Speaker 2: Reporting on that scandal. We did not buckle to that.
- 1:05:20Speaker 19: And don't forget that just last month when the grand
- 1:05:22Speaker 19: jury report was leaked, our attorney general threatened reporters with
- 1:05:27Speaker 19: possibly being arrested if they ask questions about this.
- 1:05:31Speaker 2: My point is, this is not a one off.
- 1:05:33Speaker 19: This is a government that thinks it's OK to threaten
- 1:05:36Speaker 19: people over not only speech, but basic journalism. And I
- 1:05:40Speaker 19: sure hope people don't go numb. I just looked up
- 1:05:42Speaker 19: while you were talking there, Scott. How much do you
- 1:05:44Speaker 19: think the insurance lobby is worth in Florida? How much
- 1:05:47Speaker 19: they spend? How much they spend annually on politicians to
- 1:05:51Speaker 19: to lobby on behalf of the insurance business? Tens of millions.
- 1:05:56Speaker 2: Yes. Seventy five million dollars.
- 1:06:01Speaker 19: And you know, this all goes back to one thing
- 1:06:03Speaker 19: we've talked about many times before. If your listeners are...
- 1:06:06Speaker 19: Want to understand why our country is so broken? Google
- 1:06:09Speaker 19: Citizens United.
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: Yes.
- 1:06:11Speaker 19: It's basically where the Supreme Court said that corporations are people.
- 1:06:16Speaker 19: They are not people. Read anything from the founding fathers
- 1:06:18Speaker 19: about what they intended. They did not mean to equate that.
- 1:06:21Speaker 19: And money has corrupted the process. And I've talked about
- 1:06:24Speaker 19: this before. I don't believe that these politicians are born evil.
- 1:06:28Speaker 19: I don't believe that anybody got to office, went into
- 1:06:30Speaker 19: office and said, you know what my goal is? To
- 1:06:32Speaker 19: spend taxpayer money on a report.
- 1:06:35Speaker 2: And then hide it. From the taxpayers who said it.
- 1:06:37Speaker 19: But they get corrupted by the people who are lobbying them,
- 1:06:40Speaker 19: who are funding their political campaigns, who are helping them
- 1:06:44Speaker 19: stay in office.
- 1:06:45Speaker 2: Thomas Massey has a really interesting little speech on the
- 1:06:47Speaker 2: floor the other day. He came up, I think it
- 1:06:49Speaker 2: was late last week, and he did this very thing.
- 1:06:52Speaker 2: He goes, I'm going to tell you a story about
- 1:06:54Speaker 2: a young man that came to Washington, D.C., and he
- 1:06:59Speaker 2: talks about how how the corruption happens to politicians step
- 1:07:03Speaker 2: by step, what it takes and what's expected of them
- 1:07:06Speaker 2: and how they just turn into these yes men because
- 1:07:09Speaker 2: it's the easiest path. Saying no in D.C. is very difficult,
- 1:07:13Speaker 2: especially if it's against your own party. They don't care
- 1:07:15Speaker 2: for that at all. So if you play nice, you
- 1:07:18Speaker 2: get the easy path. If you don't play nice, you
- 1:07:21Speaker 2: do not get the easy path. And the way he
- 1:07:22Speaker 2: lays it out is really poignant. It really is. I
- 1:07:28Speaker 2: absolutely agree with that.
- 1:07:30Speaker 19: You know, we talked about it with another bill, a
- 1:07:32Speaker 19: law that Florida passed that was really scummy on heat
- 1:07:35Speaker 19: safety protections. The one where there was a provision to
- 1:07:38Speaker 19: allow outdoor workers be guaranteed not money, not benefits, not
- 1:07:42Speaker 19: paid time off. They were being it said there could
- 1:07:44Speaker 19: be laws that say outdoor workers can be guaranteed water
- 1:07:47Speaker 19: breaks and shade.
- 1:07:49Speaker 7: Right.
- 1:07:50Speaker 2: Nobody gets into goes into the legislature and says, you
- 1:07:52Speaker 2: know what, I want to deny shade and water.
- 1:07:55Speaker 19: To human beings who are working outside, they get corrupted.
- 1:07:58Speaker 19: They get corrupted one bit by a time. And you know,
- 1:08:01Speaker 19: I was laying in bed after I turned in that
- 1:08:03Speaker 19: column last night and I realized I fell short. I
- 1:08:05Speaker 19: want to ask a couple of these folks directly if
- 1:08:08Speaker 19: they realize what they've become. And I'm drafting an email.
- 1:08:11Speaker 19: to the Senate president and pro-Tim and say, I just
- 1:08:14Speaker 19: want to, I want you to put your name on this,
- 1:08:16Speaker 19: that you think it's okay to threaten journalists with writing
- 1:08:19Speaker 19: about public information that taxpayers, if you're okay with threatening
- 1:08:23Speaker 19: to arrest them for third degree felonies, because you need.
- 1:08:26Speaker 2: To own that if you are. Let's go, dude, yes!
- 1:08:30Speaker 2: Says here, top recipients of that number I just told
- 1:08:32Speaker 2: you about a minute ago, the $ 74 million, Governor Ron DeSantis'
- 1:08:35Speaker 2: political committees have drawn at least $ 3.
- 1:08:36Speaker 7: 9 million.
- 1:08:37Speaker 2: From insurance industry interests. If broader contributions of the Republican
- 1:08:42Speaker 2: Party factor in, that goes to $ 9. 9 million. Chief Financial
- 1:08:48Speaker 2: Officer Jimmy Petronas, whose office oversees the banking and insurance regulations,
- 1:08:53Speaker 2: received $ 2 million. How is the guy who oversees and
- 1:08:59Speaker 2: regulates those industries able to receive lobby money from those
- 1:09:04Speaker 2: industries how does that happen how is that legal.
- 1:09:09Speaker 19: Yeah, these folks aren't stupid. They know exactly what they're doing.
- 1:09:12Speaker 19: And it works the same way for agriculture. You think
- 1:09:15Speaker 19: that you have a position out there that's supposed to
- 1:09:18Speaker 19: promote growing Florida oranges. Who's not in favor of that?
- 1:09:22Speaker 19: What it is, it ends up being a sop for
- 1:09:24Speaker 19: the industries.
- 1:09:25Speaker 2: It's big ag. It's grocery stores.
- 1:09:27Speaker 19: It's when publics fail the sanitation grade.
- 1:09:30Speaker 2: And then started pumping money into Adam Putnam at the time.
- 1:09:33Speaker 2: And Adam Putnam did away with the public releasing of
- 1:09:36Speaker 2: the sanitation system at grocery stores. He ended the entire program.
- 1:09:40Speaker 2: It wasn't like he just set that aside. He ended
- 1:09:44Speaker 2: the entire effing program. And once again, nobody, I.
- 1:09:48Speaker 19: Honestly believe nobody goes off and says, you know what
- 1:09:50Speaker 19: I'd like to do? in the sanitation ratings for grocery stores.
- 1:09:54Speaker 19: That's why I'm running for office here in Florida. It's
- 1:09:56Speaker 19: because they get corrupted.
- 1:09:58Speaker 2: Unbelievable. Great piece today. I implore everybody to slop over
- 1:10:01Speaker 2: or stop over and check out the article from Scott today.
- 1:10:07Speaker 2: You can find him on Instagram as well. I think
- 1:10:08Speaker 2: he has it posted there too.
- 1:10:10Speaker 3: Somebody just texted us at 77031, Scott, asking where we
- 1:10:13Speaker 3: can see a list of the companies involved.
- 1:10:15Speaker 2: Is there a list anywhere where folks can get that information?
- 1:10:18Speaker 2: Should we ask the state?
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: We have.
- 1:10:22Speaker 2: You know what?
- 1:10:23Speaker 19: I would very much encourage you to ask your state
- 1:10:25Speaker 19: legislator for that.
- 1:10:25Speaker 2: I think that's a great idea. And see what they
- 1:10:27Speaker 2: have to say. I was going to say, if you
- 1:10:30Speaker 2: tune in four years from now, we'll give you the answer.
- 1:10:33Speaker 2: We posted some of the big ones in our story,
- 1:10:34Speaker 2: which I linked to.
- 1:10:35Speaker 19: But more importantly, we went ahead and got this out
- 1:10:38Speaker 19: because we didn't want to be sued.
- 1:10:41Speaker 2: We weren't going to be bullied around.
- 1:10:42Speaker 19: But this is part of a year-long thing that's going
- 1:10:44Speaker 19: to publish before too long. where we're trying to break
- 1:10:47Speaker 19: down what's really going on in this insurance industry, so
- 1:10:49Speaker 19: we're going to have a lot more details.
- 1:10:50Speaker 2: Let's go! Yeah, Scott! Let's ride, dude! I'll ride for you!
- 1:10:55Speaker 16: Let's ride tomorrow at high noon!
- 1:10:57Speaker 2: And if you don't mind, Scott, I think it's important
- 1:10:59Speaker 2: to get the journalists' names out there that were on
- 1:11:01Speaker 2: the cusp of this, on the bottom of it. You
- 1:11:02Speaker 2: named them in the piece. I cannot remember. Do you
- 1:11:04Speaker 2: mind saying that? Yeah, we have a guy named Ron
- 1:11:07Speaker 2: Hurtubise who's been covering insurance industry for like 20 years.
- 1:11:09Speaker 2: Let's go roll.
- 1:11:10Speaker 19: And he's being assisted with investigative reporters David Flesher and
- 1:11:14Speaker 19: Skylar Swisher from the Orlando Sentinel. And I'd also just
- 1:11:16Speaker 19: throw out our executive editors, Roger Simmons here in Orlando
- 1:11:19Speaker 19: and Gretchen Davis. Brian from from South Florida, because they're
- 1:11:25Speaker 19: the ones whose asses are on the line. It's I
- 1:11:27Speaker 19: don't think people should gloss over the fact it's no
- 1:11:29Speaker 19: small deal to receive a letter that says we may
- 1:11:32Speaker 19: arrest you or sue you.
- 1:11:34Speaker 2: And for us to say, you know what? We're publishing anyway,
- 1:11:37Speaker 2: because we're right. That's right. Legal and logical.
- 1:11:40Speaker 7: Right.
- 1:11:40Speaker 1: Wow.
- 1:11:41Speaker 2: Again, just go and check it out at the Orlando Sentinel.
- 1:11:44Speaker 2: Get yourself a subscription. That's one of the main reasons
- 1:11:46Speaker 2: we tell you guys. You've got to read newspapers because
- 1:11:49Speaker 2: a lot of the stuff you get online isn't really accurate.
- 1:11:51Speaker 2: These guys spend a year investigating this. Four years ago
- 1:11:55Speaker 2: is when they got the information. I mean, this is
- 1:11:58Speaker 2: how they do the job. So if you read this stuff,
- 1:12:00Speaker 2: you can do it at OrlandoSentinel.com. Get your subscription. It's
- 1:12:03Speaker 2: really affordable, and you can find Scott on Instagram and
- 1:12:06Speaker 2: get it there as well. Thank you, guys.
- 1:12:09Speaker 8: Or just keep voting the same way and expect the
- 1:12:12Speaker 8: same results.
- 1:12:13Speaker 2: You guys give it up. Good luck for Scott Maxwell.
- 1:12:14Speaker 2: I don't like that suggestion. Neither do I. Yay. Have
- 1:12:18Speaker 2: a good one, buddy. We'll see you soon. Take care, guys.
- 1:12:21Speaker 2: All right, man. 407-916-1041 told you that it would be crazy, right?
- 1:12:24Speaker 2: Like that story is crazy. And when you read it,
- 1:12:27Speaker 2: it is even like, okay, so when you read it,
- 1:12:29Speaker 2: it sounds like. Like something small-town corruption. Like, oh, yeah, yeah,
- 1:12:32Speaker 2: we get the mayor in our pocket.
- 1:12:34Speaker 8: Do the hazard boss hog stuff.
- 1:12:36Speaker 2: We can do whatever we want. We get the mayor
- 1:12:37Speaker 2: in our pocket. But this is a multi-billion dollar industry
- 1:12:40Speaker 2: that's causing you to have to spend money every single
- 1:12:43Speaker 2: year of your life because of property taxes. And that's
- 1:12:46Speaker 2: why Amendment 3 came around under a rushed legislative session.
- 1:12:49Speaker 2: 48 hours. He shoves this thing into the session. And
- 1:12:52Speaker 2: because there's such an overwhelming Republican majority, it gets thrown immediately.
- 1:12:56Speaker 2: And then he bails on it. And then he's a
- 1:12:59Speaker 2: lame duck. Back in a sec. Good afternoon, Colbert Show.
- 1:13:09Speaker 20: Jim, Jack, Deb, Ross.
- 1:13:11Speaker 2: I hope you guys are having a great day.
- 1:13:12Speaker 7: You too.
- 1:13:13Speaker 2: I heard about your burger making contest.
- 1:13:15Speaker 17: So I would like to submit my Shake Your Honey
- 1:13:18Speaker 17: Maker burger.
- 1:13:20Speaker 2: I love it.
- 1:13:20Speaker 17: It comes on a honey butter bun with honey mustard
- 1:13:23Speaker 17: and bacon.
- 1:13:24Speaker 7: It's so good.
- 1:13:25Speaker 17: You guys will love it.
- 1:13:26Speaker 2: Dude, I love that. That's our first entry.
- 1:13:28Speaker 6: Yay.
- 1:13:29Speaker 2: She's in the lead, Jack. If she is, she's leading
- 1:13:32Speaker 2: the pack. She's also in last place. All right, very good. Oh,
- 1:13:36Speaker 2: we have more. No, she's the only entry. Yeah, very good.
- 1:13:39Speaker 2: All right, so that is an entry into our cooking
- 1:13:42Speaker 2: contest coming up next Saturday during our big event out at... Margaritaville,
- 1:13:49Speaker 2: the sunset walk there, the promenade, it's our best of challenge.
- 1:13:52Speaker 2: We do this every single year. This year, it's the
- 1:13:55Speaker 2: best of, the signature dish. So you're going to get
- 1:13:58Speaker 2: 12 restaurants producing what they think is one of their
- 1:13:59Speaker 2: best bites. You go out there, $ 20 for the tasting ticket.
- 1:14:02Speaker 2: That gets you every single restaurant's product. And one of
- 1:14:06Speaker 2: the other things we're doing is the listener challenge where
- 1:14:08Speaker 2: listeners will make some food as well. We'll judge that.
- 1:14:11Speaker 2: If you win that contest, not only do you get
- 1:14:12Speaker 2: the dopest trophy in the world, you also get a
- 1:14:15Speaker 2: weekend out there on property, which is an unbelievable gift
- 1:14:18Speaker 2: because that property is badass.
- 1:14:20Speaker 7: They do go, I don't want to say over the top,
- 1:14:23Speaker 7: but it is unnecessary how nice of a trophy it is.
- 1:14:26Speaker 2: It is way overboard. And all you have to do
- 1:14:29Speaker 2: is do exactly what she did. Think of a burger
- 1:14:31Speaker 2: that describes the burger. Right, so her honey butter burger
- 1:14:35Speaker 2: says the honey butter roll. It's got the honey on
- 1:14:38Speaker 2: the burger. Shake your honey maker. Yeah, the shake your
- 1:14:41Speaker 2: honey maker. So all you have to do is that,
- 1:14:44Speaker 2: and then you can join us. If you win, we
- 1:14:46Speaker 2: pick you. You can come out and cook for us,
- 1:14:48Speaker 2: enjoy the gig. You'll actually get them for free as well.
- 1:14:51Speaker 2: So there's even a bonus there. Also, called Ray last night,
- 1:14:55Speaker 2: or emailed Ray last night, tickets are moving very quickly
- 1:14:58Speaker 2: for this event this year. Oh, don't wait. It usually
- 1:15:01Speaker 2: sells out. Now, look, he sent me comparative years over
- 1:15:04Speaker 2: the comparative ticket sales at this point, and we are ahead. Okay,
- 1:15:08Speaker 2: so what you need to do is if you plan

- 1:16:32Speaker 2: It's going to be fun. I'm Jim. There's Deb and
- 1:16:34Speaker 2: Jack and Ross as well. Got to go to break
- 1:16:37Speaker 2: here in a second. Do you guys fear robots? Yeah.
- 1:16:42Speaker 2: Did you watch the AI documentary? I did not. AI
- 1:16:45Speaker 2: doc on Netflix? I did not watch it yet. Well,
- 1:16:49Speaker 2: the reason this is, I guess, maybe part of AI,
- 1:16:51Speaker 2: because I'm sure AI is what powers a lot of
- 1:16:53Speaker 2: these things now, right? Deb showed me a video today
- 1:16:56Speaker 2: that is horrifying. Have you seen the robot fighting a
- 1:17:00Speaker 2: real MMA fighter guy yet? I didn't think it was
- 1:17:03Speaker 2: a real MMA fighter. It's not? No, I think it
- 1:17:07Speaker 2: was just a content creator, influencer. Oh, I got you.
- 1:17:09Speaker 2: He's kind of famous. He's the guy with the big butt.
- 1:17:13Speaker 12: Oh, really?
- 1:17:13Speaker 2: Yeah, he has an over-the-top-sized butt. Well, I'm going to
- 1:17:17Speaker 2: tell you... It's padded for cartoonish effect. When we come
- 1:17:20Speaker 2: back at the top of the hour, I'm going to
- 1:17:21Speaker 2: tell you a place you can go to Orlando... Where
- 1:17:24Speaker 2: you can go in and sit down and experience a
- 1:17:27Speaker 2: robot firsthand. It's not in a factory. It's not on
- 1:17:33Speaker 2: a production line. It's none of that. It's somewhere you're
- 1:17:37Speaker 2: not going to believe, and it is here. It's happening
- 1:17:40Speaker 2: right now. I'll tell you where it is next. Hey,
- 1:17:46Speaker 2: this is Jeremy from Melbourne. Hey, Jeremy. Just checking to
- 1:17:49Speaker 2: see if Jim Colbert fixed his appliance this year. Did
- 1:17:54Speaker 2: not fix my appliance issue. Got to make that phone
- 1:17:56Speaker 2: call tonight. I did not have time today. It was
- 1:17:58Speaker 2: completely slammed today, so I got to make that phone
- 1:18:01Speaker 2: call tonight.
- 1:18:01Speaker 7: Hey, guys, it's Echo.
- 1:18:03Speaker 2: Hey, Echo.
- 1:18:04Speaker 17: Yeah, I'd never let a dog kiss me in the mouth.
- 1:18:06Speaker 7: Okay.
- 1:18:07Speaker 17: People actually have pet rats that they allow to put
- 1:18:11Speaker 17: their whole heads in their mouths, and they call it rodentistry,
- 1:18:14Speaker 17: which I find completely disgusting.
- 1:18:16Speaker 2: What the hell the hell? It's got a name?
- 1:18:18Speaker 17: They're great pets, but they're not sticking their whole heads
- 1:18:22Speaker 17: in their mouths.
- 1:18:23Speaker 12: Rodentistry.
- 1:18:23Speaker 2: Ew. Bye.
- 1:18:25Speaker 4: Bye.
- 1:18:27Speaker 8: Bro dentistry process. Yeah, but she said she has rats
- 1:18:31Speaker 8: as pets. But she wouldn't do that.
- 1:18:33Speaker 2: Yeah, not in a million years. Yeah. All right, one more.
- 1:18:35Speaker 2: All right.
- 1:18:36Speaker 1: Come on, Jim.
- 1:18:37Speaker 7: After all these years, you still don't know Batman's D.C.
- 1:18:42Speaker 2: Detective Comics. It's named after him. Get with it, mister.
- 1:18:48Speaker 8: Sorry, buddy.
- 1:18:49Speaker 2: My apologies. I'm so sorry. I promise I am. I'll
- 1:18:52Speaker 2: get it right someday. I promise you I'll care that
- 1:18:55Speaker 2: much someday. I'm Jim, there's Deb. Hello. Jack, good morning.
- 1:18:59Speaker 2: And Saw's daddy as well. Believe in yourself. Saw's going
- 1:19:02Speaker 2: to be in Daytona this weekend doing some, actually some sketches. Yeah, man.
- 1:19:06Speaker 2: 14 sketches coming up this weekend in Daytona. It's my new.
- 1:19:08Speaker 7: Business model of like the first half of the year,
- 1:19:10Speaker 7: stand up. The back half of the year, sketch comedy.
- 1:19:13Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:19:13Speaker 7: I'm really trying to do this whole comedian thing. So Daytona.
- 1:19:16Speaker 7: It's happening, 14 sketches, tickets at rosscomedy.com.
- 1:19:20Speaker 2: There you go. All right, guys, so if you were
- 1:19:22Speaker 2: going to see a robot that wasn't in a factory
- 1:19:24Speaker 2: building something or wasn't– providing some type of mechanical service,
- 1:19:28Speaker 2: where do you think you'd see a robot in Central Florida?
- 1:19:32Speaker 2: You can actually go see it tonight if you wanted to. Push.
- 1:19:35Speaker 2: You can have it interact with you tonight. Making coffee.
- 1:19:38Speaker 2: Not making coffee. Bartending. Not bartending, but I have to
- 1:19:41Speaker 2: tell you, Celebrity Cruises has, I think it's either Celebrity
- 1:19:45Speaker 2: or Royal, has a bar that has a robot bartender.
- 1:19:49Speaker 2: I believe some of the cruise ships do as well, right?
- 1:19:51Speaker 2: It's the Royal Caribbean cruise ship. It's just one big
- 1:19:55Speaker 2: arm that goes out there and mixes drinks, and it's
- 1:19:56Speaker 2: supposed to be perfect every time. I just did a gym.
- 1:19:58Speaker 2: I'll tell you what. I did. I just did a gym.
- 1:20:01Speaker 2: Listen here, XR75JL. She left me, man. Oh, yeah, yeah.
- 1:20:06Speaker 2: She left me. Pouring it out to a robot arm.
- 1:20:09Speaker 2: Can you imagine? She's never going to find anybody better.
- 1:20:13Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 1:20:18Speaker 2: I just don't think you're listening, man.
- 1:20:22Speaker 7: I'm just trying to make you a scientifically perfect margarita.
- 1:20:25Speaker 7: I am not here for emotions, just balanced drinks.
- 1:20:29Speaker 2: Tell that bitch to pack sand. That would be great.
- 1:20:33Speaker 7: I would love to try unplugging her.
- 1:20:36Speaker 2: We should write lines for people who are bitching to
- 1:20:38Speaker 2: robot bartenders. That's funny. No, not a bartender.
- 1:20:42Speaker 19: Donuts.
- 1:20:42Speaker 6: Not a donut. Jackson.
- 1:20:45Speaker 2: So the barista, no librarian. Ooh, fast food. If tonight
- 1:20:52Speaker 2: you go to Hollerbox German Restaurant in Sanford, Florida. Really? Hollerbox.
- 1:20:58Speaker 2: If you go to Hollerbox German Restaurant in Central Florida
- 1:21:01Speaker 2: in Sanford. And for people who do not know, that
- 1:21:04Speaker 2: is an internationally recognized German restaurant. The hollow box is
- 1:21:07Speaker 2: so good. Royals there. Theo is one of the greatest guys.
- 1:21:11Speaker 2: Quite popular. Very popular. His daughter, Christine, now runs the restaurant.
- 1:21:14Speaker 2: And I think he's running for mayor or something. I
- 1:21:16Speaker 2: think he owns half the city.
- 1:21:17Speaker 3: I believe it was a dishwasher turned mayor who was
- 1:21:20Speaker 3: just elected in San Francisco.
- 1:21:22Speaker 2: Oh, was it really? Yeah, who was a Hollerbox dishwasher.
- 1:21:24Speaker 7: I'll never forget the daughter of Hollerbox because as I
- 1:21:26Speaker 7: was leaving, she goes, you want a boot? And then
- 1:21:29Speaker 7: I was like, dude, this place is where I need
- 1:21:30Speaker 7: to be.
- 1:21:31Speaker 2: It's awesome. And you get there when they're playing the,
- 1:21:33Speaker 2: they're doing the polka music on like Friday and Saturday nights. Dude,
- 1:21:36Speaker 2: if you want to have a good time and get
- 1:21:37Speaker 2: in the mood, dude, Hollerbox on the weekend is the spot.
- 1:21:41Speaker 2: I didn't know when you buy a boot, like you
- 1:21:43Speaker 2: share the boot. Oh, yeah.
- 1:21:45Speaker 3: And the boot cannot touch the table or until it's empty.
- 1:21:49Speaker 3: The boot has to stay going around.
- 1:21:51Speaker 2: It was.
- 1:21:51Speaker 3: Christina Hollerbach, who has just been elected the mayor of Sanford.
- 1:21:54Speaker 2: That's right. It's super awesome. She bought me a boot, dude.
- 1:21:57Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure that was her. So now they have
- 1:22:02Speaker 2: a new helper. It's called Bellabot. And Bellabot, during busy times,
- 1:22:08Speaker 2: is an automated food runner. designed to move orders from
- 1:22:12Speaker 2: the kitchen to the bar. So if you are out
- 1:22:14Speaker 2: and around there at Hollerbox and you're having yourself a
- 1:22:16Speaker 2: beer sitting at the bar, your food is going to
- 1:22:19Speaker 2: be delivered by a robot. And I got to tell you,
- 1:22:21Speaker 2: of all places I thought robot delivery would happen, the
- 1:22:25Speaker 2: last place I thought it would happen is at a
- 1:22:27Speaker 2: German restaurant like Hollerbox.
- 1:22:29Speaker 7: Well, this is a sign of how hard they're killing
- 1:22:31Speaker 7: it over there in Sanford. Right.
- 1:22:34Speaker 2: He says the robot's been in use for three days,
- 1:22:36Speaker 2: already helped bartenders and servers focus on guests instead of
- 1:22:40Speaker 2: making long trips for food. You know what that means?
- 1:22:43Speaker 2: Don't have to tip the robot. That's a really good question.
- 1:22:46Speaker 2: You don't have to tip the robot. Dude, if they
- 1:22:49Speaker 2: ask me to tip a robot. No, but hold on. Okay,
- 1:22:53Speaker 2: this is a very good point because here's the thing.
- 1:22:56Speaker 2: You realize when you tip a server, you're not just
- 1:22:58Speaker 2: tipping the server. It depends on the restaurant, but you're
- 1:23:01Speaker 2: right in a lot of cases. You're tipping the people
- 1:23:03Speaker 2: who bust the tables, and you're also tipping the bartender,
- 1:23:06Speaker 2: and you're also tipping the kitchen a little bit depending
- 1:23:08Speaker 2: on where you are. So that $ 10 tip you leave,
- 1:23:11Speaker 2: I mean, six bucks will go to the server, a
- 1:23:12Speaker 2: dollar will go to the bartender, a dollar will go
- 1:23:14Speaker 2: to the busser or whatever. My son's in this business.
- 1:23:16Speaker 2: He tells me all the time about the breakdowns and stuff.
- 1:23:19Speaker 2: And I don't know. That's kind of wild. You should
- 1:23:21Speaker 2: probably still have to tip a little bit.
- 1:23:22Speaker 16: Oh, no.
- 1:23:23Speaker 2: You still have to tip.
- 1:23:24Speaker 7: If I see a robot, I'm tipping less. The revolution
- 1:23:27Speaker 7: starts now. Call me Sarah because my last name is Carr.
- 1:23:30Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, yeah. You don't have to pay for the robot.
- 1:23:35Speaker 8: They tip out usually. Yeah, it's the bartender.
- 1:23:38Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:23:38Speaker 2: So if it brought you drinks. And the bussers, buddy. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:23:41Speaker 3: Well, the restaurants that I've worked at weren't as fine
- 1:23:43Speaker 3: as those. I'm talking Bob's, you know, Mark's Big Boy.
- 1:23:45Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:23:46Speaker 2: We didn't share our tips. That's a lie. Real fast.
- 1:23:48Speaker 2: You get a robot server. Wheels up. How you doing?
- 1:23:52Speaker 4: Right?
- 1:23:53Speaker 2: Hi, I'm Bella.
- 1:23:53Speaker 4: Right?
- 1:23:55Speaker 2: Hi, I'm Bella. My eyes are up here. It's a restaurant. Right?
- 1:24:04Speaker 2: I gave you a fake number.
- 1:24:05Speaker 7: If you have a robot server, I'm not tipping.
- 1:24:14Speaker 2: I'm not.
- 1:24:15Speaker 3: Well, you're going to tip your server. You're just not
- 1:24:17Speaker 3: going to tip your robot server. So you're going to
- 1:24:19Speaker 3: still have... Your waiter or waitress is going to bring
- 1:24:22Speaker 3: you your drinks. They're going to take your food order.
- 1:24:24Speaker 3: They're going to clear the table. They're going to check
- 1:24:26Speaker 3: on you. So you still do need the tip.
- 1:24:27Speaker 7: That is over in a holler box. But I'm saying
- 1:24:30Speaker 7: in 15 years when this is all totally normalized.
- 1:24:33Speaker 2: 15 years? Probably like five.
- 1:24:36Speaker 7: I'm talking like the entire restaurant, new restaurant business. They're
- 1:24:40Speaker 7: all robots. In fact, they even advertise. They're going to
- 1:24:44Speaker 7: advertise it. You don't need a tip.
- 1:24:46Speaker 2: It says Bellabot follows a pre-programmed path from the kitchen
- 1:24:49Speaker 2: to the lodge bar area. Once it arrives, the bartender
- 1:24:51Speaker 2: removes the food from the trays and delivers it to
- 1:24:53Speaker 2: the guests. So it just kind of brings it to
- 1:24:55Speaker 2: the area. It doesn't hand you the food and ask
- 1:24:58Speaker 2: you how things are cooked or anything like that.
- 1:24:59Speaker 3: A couple people texting us at 77031. The Green Papaya
- 1:25:03Speaker 3: Thai Place in Longwood apparently has one of those robots
- 1:25:07Speaker 3: as well. Folks also said that they just were at
- 1:25:10Speaker 3: Hollerbox this weekend and saw the robot and said it
- 1:25:13Speaker 3: was neat.
- 1:25:14Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:25:14Speaker 3: And someone else said that they spent some time in Singapore,
- 1:25:18Speaker 3: and apparently a lot of restaurants in Singapore use the robots.
- 1:25:23Speaker 2: So how much do you think it costs them to
- 1:25:24Speaker 2: run the Bellabot for, let's see, for one month? Now,
- 1:25:29Speaker 2: I don't know how much a server would cost a
- 1:25:31Speaker 2: month or whatever. I mean, I know that they get
- 1:25:33Speaker 2: paid less per hour because of the tip culture, right? Right. But,
- 1:25:37Speaker 2: I mean, I still know they do well. What do
- 1:25:39Speaker 2: you think it costs a month to run Bellabot? A month? Yeah,
- 1:25:43Speaker 2: one month.
- 1:25:44Speaker 7: $ 200.
- 1:25:44Speaker 2: $ 200 a month. What do you think, Jackson? No, less
- 1:25:47Speaker 2: than that.
- 1:25:50Speaker 13: $ 100.
- 1:25:50Speaker 2: I'll go $ 75.
- 1:25:50Speaker 12: $ 600 a month.
- 1:25:51Speaker 3: Damn!
- 1:25:52Speaker 2: Yeah, the restaurant is paying $ 600 a month to use Bellabot.
- 1:25:55Speaker 2: Hollabot says the cost makes sense compared with hiring a
- 1:25:57Speaker 2: food runner for limited peak hour coverage. He goes, if
- 1:26:00Speaker 2: I have a food runner, I only need them for
- 1:26:02Speaker 2: two hours, like during the five to seven or whatever,
- 1:26:05Speaker 2: and that's when they put Bellabot. That's exactly what it
- 1:26:07Speaker 2: looks like, Jack. That's Bellabot. Want to oil me up?
- 1:26:11Speaker 4: No.
- 1:26:12Speaker 2: So I guess the order shows on the screen, so
- 1:26:15Speaker 2: when they pull up, you can see what is on
- 1:26:17Speaker 2: the trays in the robot, right? That's what that screen's
- 1:26:20Speaker 2: probably for?
- 1:26:21Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 1:26:21Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. Because it doesn't have a face, right? That'd
- 1:26:23Speaker 2: be funny if the screen had a digitally created face.
- 1:26:27Speaker 2: The face is on top, if you can see. But
- 1:26:29Speaker 2: it looks like a cat. Exactly. That's a face. Yeah.
- 1:26:32Speaker 2: That's not a face, is it? That's just the operating.
- 1:26:34Speaker 2: That's a face. It's a cat face. It's a cat face.
- 1:26:36Speaker 7: What do you think that, yeah.
- 1:26:37Speaker 2: Well, I thought it was just the buttons. It looked
- 1:26:38Speaker 2: like a face.
- 1:26:39Speaker 4: No, no, no, no.
- 1:26:40Speaker 2: Yeah, because the one on the right doesn't have the
- 1:26:42Speaker 2: Worcester things, right? Oh, yeah, it does. Yeah. I love
- 1:26:46Speaker 2: this guy. I don't know. But it makes it cute
- 1:26:50Speaker 2: and cuddly.
- 1:26:50Speaker 8: They give it the big eyes to make it cute
- 1:26:52Speaker 8: and cuddly so it's not intimidating or imposing.
- 1:26:55Speaker 7: It won't hurt you.
- 1:26:57Speaker 2: I don't like it. I'm sorry. I'm with you. Hollaback
- 1:26:59Speaker 2: says he's going to use it for the next couple
- 1:27:00Speaker 2: months because, of course, Oktoberfest is coming soon. That place
- 1:27:03Speaker 2: is a complete zoo during Oktoberfest and during these peak hours.
- 1:27:07Speaker 2: They said Bellabot is going to save him a lot
- 1:27:09Speaker 2: of time. And he also says he wants his bartenders
- 1:27:11Speaker 2: always in front of his customers because it's proven that
- 1:27:14Speaker 2: when the bartender is behind the bar, the bar will
- 1:27:17Speaker 2: spend more money. Because they want to engage with the bartender.
- 1:27:20Speaker 2: Part of that, buying a drink, is also engaging with
- 1:27:23Speaker 2: a person. I'm telling you, man. So they will buy
- 1:27:25Speaker 2: a drink for the sole purpose of engaging with the bartender.
- 1:27:27Speaker 2: She left me, man. I'm telling you. It's a full
- 1:27:31Speaker 2: circle moment right there. Thanks for listening to me, Jamie. Like,
- 1:27:34Speaker 2: I really appreciate it. Is that a robot? It's Bella.
- 1:27:37Speaker 2: Don't call me Jamie. Jamie's a slut. I don't.
- 1:27:41Speaker 7: Yeah, there's something irking. I grew up on Terminator 2, man.
- 1:27:46Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. You're kind of cute. I can also be Ballabot.
- 1:27:51Speaker 2: That's terrible. Yeah.
- 1:27:52Speaker 3: How about, I mean, the Terminator, there's another story about
- 1:27:56Speaker 3: a robot like that now.
- 1:27:58Speaker 2: Oh, did you send Jack that thing so we can
- 1:27:59Speaker 2: put that up? I did not.
- 1:28:00Speaker 3: I didn't want to steal the thunder, but it's called
- 1:28:03Speaker 3: Proto Clone. If you want to check that out, Jack.
- 1:28:06Speaker 2: Jack, if you want to get scared of robots, bring
- 1:28:08Speaker 2: up Proto Clone. This is the thing that Deb showed
- 1:28:11Speaker 2: me today. And I said, that is a nightmare come
- 1:28:16Speaker 2: to life. Have you guys heard anything about ProtoClone?
- 1:28:19Speaker 11: No.
- 1:28:20Speaker 2: So do we all have sci-fi companies that we're all
- 1:28:23Speaker 2: like kind of... Are you looking in the screen? Is
- 1:28:25Speaker 2: this it? I believe so.
- 1:28:27Speaker 3: So Clone Robotics has built ProtoClone, also called Clone Alpha.
- 1:28:32Speaker 3: It's a bipedal musculoskeletal android featuring a 3D printed polymer
- 1:28:38Speaker 3: skeleton that replicates So they're saying for the first time
- 1:28:32Speaker 3: that this robot actually moves like a human being. Because
- 1:28:48Speaker 3: it has all 206 bones that we have in our bodies.
- 1:28:52Speaker 2: Even that little bone in the ear? Yeah. The one
- 1:28:56Speaker 2: in your throat when you choke somebody. And the tailbone.
- 1:28:58Speaker 2: So yeah, protoclone is... Yeah, it looks more human, but
- 1:29:04Speaker 2: also not human enough not to be scary. All right,
- 1:29:06Speaker 2: so here's... That's it. Jim, do you have a sci-fi, like...
- 1:29:10Speaker 2: Alpha edition.
- 1:29:11Speaker 7: Modern day company that's on the come up that you're like,
- 1:29:13Speaker 7: I think the world is ending. Because I also have one.
- 1:29:16Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, you do? Yeah, yeah. It is Reflector or
- 1:29:20Speaker 2: Reflect Orbital. Reflect orbital? Orbital, reflect. Is this the one
- 1:29:25Speaker 2: where the mind can make that little eyeball on the
- 1:29:28Speaker 2: arm go a certain way or whatever?
- 1:29:29Speaker 7: Dude, I'm not making this up, but it essentially is
- 1:29:33Speaker 7: sending stuff into space to then put sunlight anywhere at
- 1:29:38Speaker 7: any time on the planet.
- 1:29:40Speaker 2: What's it called? I know. Orbital Reflect? It's called ReflectOrbital.com.
- 1:29:47Speaker 2: It's one of the craziest Bond villain idea company come-ups
- 1:29:53Speaker 2: that I have ever stumbled across. Oh, this is some
- 1:29:56Speaker 2: scary ass, dude. So, like, say you're in the middle
- 1:29:59Speaker 2: of dark, right? I guess you don't have to worry
- 1:30:01Speaker 2: about daylight saving time anymore. No.
- 1:30:03Speaker 7: You're in the middle of nowhere and you need sunlight.
- 1:30:07Speaker 7: And it's in the middle of night. You can use
- 1:30:10Speaker 7: the mirror that's in space using the sun that's out
- 1:30:14Speaker 7: in space to project.
- 1:30:15Speaker 2: To reflect sunlight down to your area. To your area.
- 1:30:18Speaker 2: It says, imagine the endless possibilities when sunlight is not
- 1:30:21Speaker 2: limited by the geography of time or day.
- 1:30:24Speaker 3: Yeah, dude.
- 1:30:24Speaker 2: I think the world might be cut. And then we laugh.
- 1:30:30Speaker 2: What else are we going to do? Exactly. Vote. It says,
- 1:30:35Speaker 2: and it's so funny, what's possible with a spot of light?
- 1:30:37Speaker 2: How about illuminate disaster zones in search and rescue missions? Yeah.
- 1:30:43Speaker 2: Extend working hours, improve safety, light remote sites, tailor growth cycles,
- 1:30:48Speaker 2: extend seasons, boost yields for agriculture and for civilization. Okay.
- 1:30:52Speaker 2: You will never stop working. Yeah, exactly. Nothing. And like it.
- 1:30:56Speaker 2: I was going to say.
- 1:30:57Speaker 3: And then are they really using those to keep the
- 1:31:00Speaker 3: robots alive when we try and shut them down?
- 1:31:02Speaker 2: And then they'll always have a source of energy.
- 1:31:05Speaker 7: This is one of their slogans, Deb. If you want
- 1:31:07Speaker 7: to punch your computer screen, it says we're launching the
- 1:31:10Speaker 7: future of sunlight.
- 1:31:14Speaker 2: No, that's supposed to be who's in charge of it.
- 1:31:18Speaker 2: The guy just texted and he goes, space laser? I
- 1:31:21Speaker 2: used to tell my frat bros about it mid-shroom trip. Sorry,
- 1:31:23Speaker 2: I was right.
- 1:31:24Speaker 7: Yeah, dude.
- 1:31:25Speaker 2: It really is someone tripping balls going like, just imagine
- 1:31:28Speaker 2: like a big mirror. Where did you hear about this?
- 1:31:31Speaker 7: God, it just flashed across somewhere.
- 1:31:32Speaker 2: On one of your feeds? Yeah, something. Same here with Protoclone.
- 1:31:35Speaker 7: I think a friend told me about it, and then
- 1:31:37Speaker 7: I was like, this isn't real, is it? And then
- 1:31:39Speaker 7: I double tried to debunk it, and I'm like, no,
- 1:31:41Speaker 7: this is actually a real company.
- 1:31:42Speaker 2: This is what they're trying to do. Oh, I think
- 1:31:43Speaker 2: this sucks so bad. Is this just a theory, or
- 1:31:46Speaker 2: do they actually have one in space that can do that,
- 1:31:49Speaker 2: that we can actually see it work? I want to
- 1:31:51Speaker 2: say just theory right now.
- 1:31:54Speaker 3: Because is it going to be a company that's going
- 1:31:56Speaker 3: to be in control? Our country's going to fight over
- 1:31:58Speaker 3: that ability?
- 1:32:00Speaker 2: I guess, much like satellite imaging... You are much like
- 1:32:03Speaker 2: the Hubble telescope. You know that how I understand that
- 1:32:06Speaker 2: works is this or not Hubble, but.
- 1:32:09Speaker 3: The International Space Station Web, the James Webb.
- 1:32:12Speaker 2: So you actually get in line to use that. You
- 1:32:15Speaker 2: log time to go to the James Webb. So what
- 1:32:17Speaker 2: you do is you you kind of create your whatever
- 1:32:19Speaker 2: you want to your hypothesis of what's happening in space. Right.
- 1:32:23Speaker 2: You create that. Then you call them or you basically
- 1:32:26Speaker 2: schedule an appointment. for an hour or two hours of time,
- 1:32:29Speaker 2: and you go there and you use that to kind
- 1:32:32Speaker 2: of explain your thesis. So I know that that kind
- 1:32:35Speaker 2: of happens. You can lease or rent time for satellites
- 1:32:39Speaker 2: because we do that with the big telescopes.
- 1:32:40Speaker 3: Well, that's interesting, but that's one singular telescope. I'm imagining
- 1:32:44Speaker 3: these mirrors in the sky, and this company says, no,
- 1:32:47Speaker 3: we're not going to let you use the sunlight in
- 1:32:49Speaker 3: this area.
- 1:32:49Speaker 2: And they go, oh, okay, shoot up a missile, and
- 1:32:51Speaker 2: we're just going to blow up that mirror. Yeah.
- 1:32:56Speaker 8: Wouldn't you have to have weapons in space?
- 1:32:58Speaker 2: And no... Oh, never mind. And, Dad, can you imagine
- 1:33:03Speaker 2: the amount of bad luck you would get breaking a
- 1:33:06Speaker 2: space mirror? Oh, dude, that's seven centuries of bad luck,
- 1:33:09Speaker 2: not years. Seven eons. Yeah, exactly. All right, 407-916-1041, Texas, 77031,
- 1:33:12Speaker 2: back in a sec. My God, Jimmy, look here. I
- 1:33:14Speaker 2: know where that robot's going to be at.
- 1:33:20Speaker 4: It's going to be at one of those little nudie clubs.
- 1:33:24Speaker 2: Yeah, baby.
- 1:33:26Speaker 5: Oh, my God.
- 1:33:27Speaker 17: I can't wait to go try.
- 1:33:29Speaker 2: It's just going to be amazing.
- 1:33:31Speaker 5: Do we get to sign up somewhere?
- 1:33:33Speaker 2: Check out my robot love.
- 1:33:35Speaker 5: Get on crazy.
- 1:33:39Speaker 6: We all have dreams.
- 1:33:40Speaker 5: Thank you, Jimmy.
- 1:33:41Speaker 2: Looking forward to it.
- 1:33:43Speaker 7: All right.
- 1:33:44Speaker 2: I don't know what to do.
- 1:33:44Speaker 15: You guys are officially freaking me out, dude.
- 1:33:50Speaker 2: Where's the spaceship that's going to take us to Mars
- 1:33:54Speaker 2: or whatever, dude? I don't want sun lasers. Where's the
- 1:34:00Speaker 2: sun laser? I'm good on all that, man. We got
- 1:34:04Speaker 2: stuff that... I'm good, dude. Why are we doing this?
- 1:34:09Speaker 2: I don't know. To get schnitz a lot faster?
- 1:34:12Speaker 6: Oh, Jimmy.
- 1:34:16Speaker 4: I hope the robot is not a lawyer like my ex-wife,
- 1:34:19Speaker 4: because Obviously, she argued professionally, so I never.
- 1:34:23Speaker 1: Won an argument.
- 1:34:25Speaker 2: Couldn't make love to her. Just wouldn't let me. At
- 1:34:29Speaker 2: least not towards the end. And was ridiculously expensive. So, please,
- 1:34:36Speaker 2: don't make women robots that are lawyers.
- 1:34:39Speaker 7: Thank you.
- 1:34:39Speaker 2: All right, bud. Wake up, Daytona. Hey, Ross is coming
- 1:34:45Speaker 2: to town. You better get your tickets now. Awesome show.
- 1:34:51Speaker 2: And a burger entry.
- 1:34:52Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 1:34:53Speaker 5: It's the best burger you'll ever eat. A juicy flame-seared
- 1:34:56Speaker 5: burger piled high with melty cheese, crispy toppings, and a
- 1:35:01Speaker 5: savory sauce that just drips into every bite. It's nestled
- 1:35:05Speaker 5: between two buttery toasted buns. It's messy.
- 1:35:10Speaker 2: It's indulgent.
- 1:35:11Speaker 5: It's ridiculously delicious. It's the kind of burger you start
- 1:35:15Speaker 5: craving even before you've finished it. Guys, you're going to
- 1:35:18Speaker 5: want number two, and you're not even going to want
- 1:35:20Speaker 5: to eat the other burgers.
- 1:35:23Speaker 2: All right. The number two burger. That's an odd name.
- 1:35:28Speaker 2: I made one of those this morning. Damn, dude. Enjoy
- 1:35:34Speaker 2: your dinner, folks. Are you mad, dude? No.
- 1:35:40Speaker 10: Okay.
- 1:35:41Speaker 2: Well, don't look at me like that then. I wasn't looking.
- 1:35:43Speaker 2: I was rubbing my eye. You're eyeballing him? You're eyeballing Jim?
- 1:35:47Speaker 5: All right.
- 1:35:47Speaker 2: Welcome back to the Jim Colbert Show, Real Radio 104.1.
- 1:35:49Speaker 2: I'm Jim. There's Deb. Hello.
- 1:35:51Speaker 4: Jack.
- 1:35:51Speaker 2: You still have 17 and a half months. And sauce
- 1:35:54Speaker 2: as well. It's true. Suds Pups and Pints is this Saturday.
- 1:35:58Speaker 2: Hope to see you in downtown Mountain Door from 3
- 1:36:00Speaker 2: until 6. We will be there. Having a good old time.
- 1:36:02Speaker 2: And don't forget, you're not going to miss your college
- 1:36:04Speaker 2: football games. We're actually going to have the Florida game
- 1:36:06Speaker 2: and Ole Miss game. What?
- 1:36:08Speaker 8: Shout out to Guinness for providing the giant screen. So,
- 1:36:12Speaker 8: I mean, you never know what game is going to
- 1:36:14Speaker 8: be the big game. And it looks like the Gator
- 1:36:16Speaker 8: game is going to be one of the big games.
- 1:36:18Speaker 7: Exactly.
- 1:36:18Speaker 2: That'll be on a giant TV. Going to have the
- 1:36:20Speaker 2: foaming mug there for the kids to play in. And
- 1:36:21Speaker 2: the cool thing about this event, guys, it's absolutely free. Really,
- 1:36:24Speaker 2: it is free. If you want to come down and
- 1:36:25Speaker 2: throw some balls and raise some money as I'm in
- 1:36:28Speaker 2: the dunk tank, you can certainly do that. If you
- 1:36:29Speaker 2: want to make a donation, you can certainly do that.
- 1:36:32Speaker 2: If you want to bid on one of us to
- 1:36:33Speaker 2: wash your dog, you can do that. But you can
- 1:36:35Speaker 2: also come down and just kind of enjoy the day
- 1:36:37Speaker 2: if you'd like. Absolutely. We'd like as many people to
- 1:36:39Speaker 2: come down and hang out as possible. You can bring
- 1:36:41Speaker 2: your dog with you. If you don't want to have
- 1:36:43Speaker 2: a dog, come on down. We're going to have plenty.
- 1:36:45Speaker 2: Daryl Payne's bringing like 30 of them. And we're going
- 1:36:47Speaker 2: to have so much fun. You're not going to be
- 1:36:50Speaker 2: able to miss the event right downtown Mount Dora. Yeah,
- 1:36:52Speaker 2: we've got a lot of fun. We're going to have giveaways.
- 1:36:54Speaker 3: Jeremiah's Ice is going to be there giving away their
- 1:36:57Speaker 3: pup cups as well. You can't get more beautiful weather
- 1:37:00Speaker 3: than what we're going to be having.
- 1:37:02Speaker 2: As good as it gets. High of 83 with just
- 1:37:03Speaker 2: sun and clouds, no rain. That's right. Oh, boy. It's
- 1:37:06Speaker 2: going to be so good.
- 1:37:07Speaker 8: For every outdoor event where we had to check the
- 1:37:10Speaker 8: weather app every day, looking at what percentage.
- 1:37:13Speaker 2: I know. Hope for the best. Cross your fingers.
- 1:37:16Speaker 8: It's nice when it says, oh, no, weather's going to
- 1:37:18Speaker 8: be perfect.
- 1:37:19Speaker 2: I know. My poor husband, his last event, I mean. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:37:23Speaker 3: Yeah, right when some big stuff was supposed to happen,
- 1:37:25Speaker 3: that's when the skies opened up on him. So he
- 1:37:28Speaker 3: said today, he said, I'm actually envious of the weather
- 1:37:30Speaker 3: you have for this weekend.
- 1:37:30Speaker 2: We're going to have a really good time. Hope to
- 1:37:32Speaker 2: see you out there, man. It's going to be a
- 1:37:33Speaker 2: good time. Yeah. Saw a report today, USA Today story,
- 1:37:36Speaker 2: says that Gen X, that is the generation after you, right, Sauce? Before.
- 1:37:42Speaker 2: Before you? You're Gen X. Yeah, we're Gen X. Hold
- 1:37:44Speaker 2: on one second. Let me make sure. You're talking Gen Z?
- 1:37:46Speaker 2: Gen Z. Yeah, that's the one. Gen Z. That's the
- 1:37:48Speaker 2: one after Ross. That's after Ross.
- 1:37:50Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 1:37:50Speaker 2: They are younger. They're younger than you, right?
- 1:37:52Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:37:53Speaker 2: They are not having sex. No, they're also not doing
- 1:37:57Speaker 2: a lot of things. Good. Yeah, Gen Z. No, this
- 1:37:59Speaker 2: is bad.
- 1:38:00Speaker 8: No, those are my daughters. Is not having sex.
- 1:38:03Speaker 2: My bad. It said a new study of Gen Z
- 1:38:05Speaker 2: conducted by Playboy, the Kinsey Institute, and contraceptive brand Julie,
- 1:38:11Speaker 2: shared exclusively with USA Today, found that 54% of respondents
- 1:38:15Speaker 2: were not having sex, or excuse me, Yes, 64% were
- 1:38:20Speaker 2: not having sex. And these are people born from 1997
- 1:38:23Speaker 2: to 2012. They're having sex less than earlier generations, despite
- 1:38:28Speaker 2: a desire to engage in sexual activity. What's the problem?
- 1:38:32Speaker 2: They don't know how to talk. That's definitely one of
- 1:38:35Speaker 2: the problems. Yeah, definitely. Don't know how to connect with
- 1:38:38Speaker 2: human to human. Do you remember when we did a
- 1:38:39Speaker 2: story like this before? That's not the answer. But one
- 1:38:41Speaker 2: of the other stories was is because they don't dance.
- 1:38:45Speaker 2: They did a study, and the guy walked into clubs
- 1:38:47Speaker 2: in New York and the biggest cities, L.A., and noticed
- 1:38:50Speaker 2: that younger people weren't dancing. And the reason they weren't dancing,
- 1:38:54Speaker 2: which is a good way to kind of get a
- 1:38:56Speaker 2: physical kind of thing going, you know? Do you agree
- 1:38:59Speaker 2: with that? Dancing's kind of sexy, is it not?
- 1:39:00Speaker 16: Yeah.
- 1:39:01Speaker 2: Maybe it could be an aphrodisiac, can it not? Depending
- 1:39:04Speaker 2: on how you dance. Yeah, I mean, for my wife
- 1:39:06Speaker 2: and I, it is definitely an aphrodisiac. We love dancing together,
- 1:39:09Speaker 2: and it gets very hot.
- 1:39:10Speaker 7: I was just talking about this on a couple episodes
- 1:39:13Speaker 7: of Good Sauce, is that I have a friend who
- 1:39:15Speaker 7: lives downtown Orlando, and I asked him, how do you
- 1:39:18Speaker 7: fix downtown Orlando? And one of the things that he
- 1:39:20Speaker 7: pointed to was actually, was like, dude, young people don't
- 1:39:23Speaker 7: know how to party. And he pointed towards dancing as
- 1:39:27Speaker 7: the best example that he had.
- 1:39:29Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:39:29Speaker 7: By going to dancing is cringe to this generation, but
- 1:39:33Speaker 7: trying effort, you know, being a little vulnerable, thinking that
- 1:39:38Speaker 7: this dance move is cool is like you pull out
- 1:39:41Speaker 7: your phone and record the guy trying to dance versus
- 1:39:45Speaker 7: joining in on the day.
- 1:39:46Speaker 2: And that's the problem. That's exactly what they found in
- 1:39:48Speaker 2: the study that people are terrified to take a chance
- 1:39:50Speaker 2: and kind of express themselves with dance. They didn't want
- 1:39:53Speaker 2: to be recorded and mocked online. Yeah. Well, Star Wars
- 1:39:57Speaker 2: kid was a thing. Yeah. That is not the answer.
- 1:40:01Speaker 2: The answer is actually even not crazier. It does make sense, though.
- 1:40:06Speaker 2: More kids are.
- 1:40:08Speaker 3: Are they terrified of the getting pregnant or anything like that? No,
- 1:40:13Speaker 3: more the STD angle.
- 1:40:14Speaker 2: They're living at home with their parents.
- 1:40:18Speaker 3: Ah.
- 1:40:18Speaker 2: And nobody wants to bang it out with mom upstairs.
- 1:40:22Speaker 2: It makes it more difficult. Yeah, that's exactly what it is.
- 1:40:24Speaker 2: More people, more of these younger people are living back
- 1:40:27Speaker 2: home with their mom and dad, and therefore they don't
- 1:40:30Speaker 2: have sex. It's kind of hard to get somebody to
- 1:40:31Speaker 2: come over to your house. You're making a pitch for
- 1:40:33Speaker 2: a girl. You're like, hey, let's go back to my place.
- 1:40:36Speaker 2: Where's your place? It's also my mom and dad's place. Yeah,
- 1:40:38Speaker 2: do you like scrapbooks? Yeah. And it's not just... We
- 1:40:42Speaker 2: gotta be quiet sneaking past my parents' bedroom.
- 1:40:44Speaker 7: I'm gonna give the benefit a little bit more grace
- 1:40:47Speaker 7: towards the younger generation. It's not just because, like, yo,
- 1:40:50Speaker 7: I can't hook up with my mom next to the room.
- 1:40:52Speaker 7: It's also, like, I can't expect this to get to
- 1:40:55Speaker 7: chapter two, right?
- 1:40:57Speaker 2: Right, exactly, buddy.
- 1:40:58Speaker 7: Not just hooking up, but, like, we can't... You're not
- 1:41:01Speaker 7: going to come over and watch a movie because that's
- 1:41:03Speaker 7: going to be awkward. This just ends here. And what
- 1:41:06Speaker 7: you're saying is exactly what this says. They're delaying their independence,
- 1:41:10Speaker 7: and understandably so, which is also going to delay their
- 1:41:13Speaker 7: ability to be able to go out, be able to
- 1:41:16Speaker 7: form relationships. Exactly what you're saying. Hard to talk, hard
- 1:41:20Speaker 7: to kind of get to know somebody when that's happening.
- 1:41:23Speaker 7: And I've always thought this. You just said, what did
- 1:41:27Speaker 7: you just say? Is that it's hard to form relationships?
- 1:41:30Speaker 2: Yeah, because you don't have any peace. You have someone
- 1:41:34Speaker 2: around you all the time.
- 1:41:35Speaker 7: So I don't count anything from like, oh, I moved out.
- 1:41:41Speaker 7: I start life, adult life, when you move out. That
- 1:41:44Speaker 7: number to me is incredibly important to, I think, someone's story,
- 1:41:48Speaker 7: and it's grossly underrated.
- 1:41:49Speaker 2: 1000.
- 1:41:51Speaker 7: Everyone looks at 18 as the big one, and I
- 1:41:54Speaker 7: understand why. There's plenty of laws that back up why 18,
- 1:41:58Speaker 7: but it's actually, to me, it's like, how old were
- 1:42:01Speaker 7: you when.
- 1:42:02Speaker 2: You moved out? I was 17. That is going to say.
- 1:42:05Speaker 7: a lot versus i moved out when i was 22
- 1:42:09Speaker 7: i remember i moved out when i was 18 i
- 1:42:12Speaker 7: had friends who were 22 they moved out when they
- 1:42:14Speaker 7: were 22 i had a four-year head start on on
- 1:42:18Speaker 7: adulthood on adulthood yeah paying your own bills making your
- 1:42:21Speaker 7: own way uh you know making your own groceries paying
- 1:42:23Speaker 7: your your water bill you know conserving money learning how
- 1:42:26Speaker 7: to make a dollar stretch dealing with the panic attack
- 1:42:29Speaker 7: of like what do i do now and then i
- 1:42:32Speaker 7: did that when i was 18 but if you don't
- 1:42:34Speaker 7: have that experience later on in life.
- 1:42:37Speaker 2: I think it can really hurt you.
- 1:42:39Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:42:39Speaker 2: It says, we are millennials, and when me and my
- 1:42:42Speaker 2: girlfriends go out, younger people do not dance. We're always
- 1:42:44Speaker 2: the only ones dancing. That's a girl who texts us
- 1:42:47Speaker 2: all the time. Another thing here says, research shows a
- 1:42:49Speaker 2: general decline in teens and young adults engaging in sexual activity.
- 1:42:53Speaker 2: In 2023, 32% of teens said they had had sex
- 1:42:57Speaker 2: compared with 47% of teens in 2013, just 10 years before.
- 1:43:02Speaker 2: Where do you think that number is now? They asked
- 1:43:05Speaker 2: Gen Zers, adults aged 18 to 29, if they'd had
- 1:43:09Speaker 2: sex in the year. How many people said yes? What
- 1:43:11Speaker 2: percentage of that group said they'd had sex within the
- 1:43:14Speaker 2: last year? Ten.
- 1:43:18Speaker 6: Seven.
- 1:43:20Speaker 2: Twenty percent. Twenty-four percent of adults age 18 to 29
- 1:43:24Speaker 2: said they'd had no sex in the entire past year.
- 1:43:28Speaker 2: I mean, 18 to 29 is when you should be
- 1:43:32Speaker 2: prying yourself off people. I know. I mean, that's when
- 1:43:35Speaker 2: you should be feeling it at that point, right, Deb?
- 1:43:38Speaker 2: I mean, you should be feeling it.
- 1:43:40Speaker 3: I mean, I was married and divorced in that age group.
- 1:43:44Speaker 7: I have a friend. He's not part of Gen Z,
- 1:43:48Speaker 7: but I just see the same narrative in it. I
- 1:43:51Speaker 7: know it's not my life, so I shouldn't care, but
- 1:43:54Speaker 7: I do because it's something that I genuinely really believe
- 1:43:57Speaker 7: in as a human.
- 1:43:58Speaker 2: But he just looks at a partner as a bad investment.
- 1:44:02Speaker 2: So many young people do that. Let me tell you something.
- 1:44:05Speaker 2: Before my son started dating the girl he's dating now
- 1:44:07Speaker 2: and they're engaged the whole nine yards. He said the
- 1:44:10Speaker 2: same thing. And I'm like, guys. He was lost.
- 1:44:13Speaker 7: Don't put a damn Abraham Lincoln above your humanity.
- 1:44:18Speaker 16: Yeah.
- 1:44:19Speaker 2: You were born with a name. Time out.
- 1:44:23Speaker 8: Yesterday quoted Warren Buffett. It said the most important financial
- 1:44:26Speaker 8: decision you can make in your life is choosing your partner.
- 1:44:28Speaker 2: And that is correct. Yes. Like that.
- 1:44:32Speaker 7: But it's choosing a partner, not not choosing a partner.
- 1:44:35Speaker 7: I think not choose the partner. You can save all
- 1:44:38Speaker 7: your money. But guess who didn't smile for 40 years?
- 1:44:41Speaker 7: Do you ever do you know anybody that married for money?
- 1:44:45Speaker 7: I mean, that seems like a gotcha question.
- 1:44:47Speaker 2: No, I mean, I'm not asking you. I'm not asking you.
- 1:44:51Speaker 2: We know it wasn't your wife. Yeah, it wasn't me.
- 1:44:54Speaker 2: I know that. I'm not asking you to out anybody.
- 1:44:59Speaker 2: My wife, by the way, for the record, my wife
- 1:45:01Speaker 2: was making more money than me when we got married.
- 1:45:03Speaker 2: I don't think so. I don't think I know anybody.
- 1:45:05Speaker 4: She was.
- 1:45:06Speaker 2: I'm telling you the truth. No, no.
- 1:45:07Speaker 7: I don't think I know anybody who married for money.
- 1:45:10Speaker 7: And at the very least, they're not very public about it.
- 1:45:13Speaker 2: Deb, you know anybody married for money?
- 1:45:14Speaker 12: No.
- 1:45:15Speaker 2: I know a guy in my life that married for money.
- 1:45:18Speaker 2: I know a dude who married for money.
- 1:45:21Speaker 7: There's that pause of silence because no one's even heard
- 1:45:24Speaker 7: of that.
- 1:45:25Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. I know a guy who married for money.
- 1:45:27Speaker 2: He's an older guy. And he married a woman because
- 1:45:30Speaker 2: he knows she had money. I mean, I don't know
- 1:45:33Speaker 2: how much he really cares about or whatever. I mean, they're,
- 1:45:35Speaker 2: they're still together, but I'm not a hundred on, on
- 1:45:37Speaker 2: like how good the relationship is, you know, but I mean,
- 1:45:40Speaker 2: this definitely wouldn't happen. Yeah.
- 1:45:43Speaker 5: Right.
- 1:45:43Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:45:44Speaker 7: I just don't like when like I believe I love
- 1:45:47Speaker 7: my wife so much. I love life so much. I
- 1:45:49Speaker 7: love being a human so much. And I can feel
- 1:45:51Speaker 7: it on the inside of my deepest part of my
- 1:45:53Speaker 7: soul of how nice it is to go home and go, hey, babe.
- 1:45:58Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 1:45:58Speaker 2: And to someone go like, oh, that's too expensive. Yeah.
- 1:46:02Speaker 7: It's like, oh, maybe I'm getting older because that's. Not
- 1:46:07Speaker 7: how I think you should live life.
- 1:46:09Speaker 2: Yeah, interesting story. If you want to read this today,
- 1:46:10Speaker 2: you can do so. It's usatoday.com slash story life health wellness.
- 1:46:17Speaker 2: It's in their health and wellness area there. Actually a
- 1:46:19Speaker 2: pretty cool story. Yes, Jack.
- 1:46:20Speaker 8: Texter says they know a couple of people who stay
- 1:46:23Speaker 8: married for money.
- 1:46:24Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I think you could probably point a
- 1:46:26Speaker 2: lot of those people out. I mean, we've talked about
- 1:46:29Speaker 2: people not being able to divorce because they can't afford
- 1:46:31Speaker 2: a divorce. They just live in separate areas of the house.
- 1:46:33Speaker 2: And they just have an agreement.
- 1:46:35Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 1:46:37Speaker 8: But do you think some people fall short of the
- 1:46:39Speaker 8: agreement part of that and just kind of go through
- 1:46:43Speaker 8: the motions because they just don't see it as a possibility?
- 1:46:48Speaker 8: Like just live in misery?
- 1:46:49Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's 100 percent right. I mean just
- 1:46:51Speaker 2: the financial– their financial worlds are so intertwined. And their
- 1:46:55Speaker 2: finances are so intertwined, the thought of unraveling that and
- 1:46:59Speaker 2: then living after that is overwhelming to some people.
- 1:47:03Speaker 3: I do know a couple where they live completely separate
- 1:47:05Speaker 3: lives but never got a divorce.
- 1:47:08Speaker 2: They still live together? No, they don't live together.
- 1:47:11Speaker 3: They have completely separate lives, boyfriends, girlfriends, the whole thing,
- 1:47:15Speaker 3: but didn't get divorced because the financial unraveling would have
- 1:47:19Speaker 3: just been too much for both people.
- 1:47:22Speaker 2: Do they double date? I doubt that. That's a wild thing.
- 1:47:25Speaker 2: But I do know that I believe she still gets
- 1:47:27Speaker 2: a new car every year. By the way, I know
- 1:47:29Speaker 2: people who did that as well. Yeah. Literally couples who
- 1:47:33Speaker 2: switch partners. Oh. Almost like the Mutt Lang and Shania
- 1:47:37Speaker 2: Twain scenario.
- 1:47:38Speaker 12: Oh, yeah.
- 1:47:38Speaker 2: Are you familiar with that?
- 1:47:39Speaker 12: No.
- 1:47:40Speaker 2: No? Mutt Lang and Shania Twain had two really good friends,
- 1:47:47Speaker 2: and they wound up falling in love with each other's partners.
- 1:47:50Speaker 2: Mutt fell in love with the woman, and Shania wound
- 1:47:53Speaker 2: up with the other guy. There are couples like that
- 1:47:56Speaker 2: that still go out together. They'll go out with their
- 1:48:00Speaker 2: exes and their ex's new partner.
- 1:48:02Speaker 7: I mean, that's basically my wife's and I origin story,
- 1:48:05Speaker 7: but I plan on never seeing those other two people ever.
- 1:48:10Speaker 2: Again. All right. 407-916-1041. Text us 77031. Load them up.
- 1:48:14Speaker 2: It's time for Trivia. We'll do that next. That Bellabot
- 1:48:26Speaker 2: name that you gave her, it reminds me of.
- 1:48:29Speaker 10: This song that my mom always loved.
- 1:48:32Speaker 7: I apologize in advance, but it was kind of like
- 1:48:34Speaker 7: I'm making this up.
- 1:48:35Speaker 2: When Bellabot brought the cookies.
- 1:48:40Speaker 13: She's doing a balabot boogie, boogie, boogie.
- 1:48:45Speaker 2: And then it's like, no question. Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum.
- 1:48:50Speaker 2: Do you remember that song? We should rename it.
- 1:48:57Speaker 12: Hey, I don't cook, but if I did, I'd make
- 1:48:58Speaker 12: you guys a talkback purger burner.
- 1:49:01Speaker 2: There you go.
- 1:49:02Speaker 12: Start with two big-ass patties built like a concrete mic
- 1:49:05Speaker 12: brick wall with two thick slices of some big T bacon.
- 1:49:09Speaker 2: Yeah, that T stands for turkey. Then put a little
- 1:49:12Speaker 2: bit of T-bags hash.
- 1:49:15Speaker 14: Browns.
- 1:49:17Speaker 2: Follow that up with some brother Matt's aloha aioli.
- 1:49:20Speaker 10: I'd give it to you and say.
- 1:49:22Speaker 2: Duval. Dude, that's a really good idea. That sounds delicious.
- 1:49:26Speaker 2: I mean, to make a burger based on some of
- 1:49:28Speaker 2: the regular callers and people who interact with the program
- 1:49:31Speaker 2: is brilliant.
- 1:49:31Speaker 8: I mean, the only thing working against sport from Duval
- 1:49:35Speaker 8: is he says, yeah.
- 1:49:38Speaker 2: I don't cook. I'm telling you, dude, that is a
- 1:49:41Speaker 2: really good idea, man. So looking for more entries for

- 1:51:23Speaker 2: Got a question here for you. Four answers. One of
- 1:51:24Speaker 2: these answers is not true, buddy. If you can find it,
- 1:51:27Speaker 2: I will send you over to see Jack, and he's

- 1:51:31Speaker 7: Are you ready?
- 1:51:32Speaker 2: Right on. Here we go, buddy. On this day in 1959,
- 1:51:36Speaker 2: American actor and comedian created one of the most iconic
- 1:51:40Speaker 2: television characters in history on one of the most iconic
- 1:51:43Speaker 2: television shows in history. He's no soup Nazi. Oh, my God.
- 1:51:49Speaker 2: Larry David. Seinfeld. Costanza. Who is that? Michael Richards. No,
- 1:51:55Speaker 2: the soup Nazi. Costanza. Who is that? I forgot his name.
- 1:52:00Speaker 2: Jason Alexander was born on this day. That's right. Jason
- 1:52:04Speaker 2: Alexander was born on this day. He's George Costanza from Seinfeld.
- 1:52:07Speaker 2: Here are three fun facts about Jason and one lie
- 1:52:09Speaker 2: saved by a whale. That's a reference to one of
- 1:52:13Speaker 2: their most famous songs. I thought it was the sandwich
- 1:52:15Speaker 2: out of the garbage. All right, Josh, here we go, buddy.
- 1:52:17Speaker 2: We're talking about George Costanza, basically, Jason Alexander. Which one
- 1:52:20Speaker 2: of these is not true? Number one, his real name
- 1:52:23Speaker 2: is J. Scott Greenspan. Number two, he's a professional-level magician.
- 1:52:29Speaker 2: Number three, he started losing his hair at 19 years old.
- 1:52:33Speaker 2: Or lastly, he's a big-time Trekkie. Which of those is
- 1:52:38Speaker 2: a lie? Go with the last No, that's absolutely true.
- 1:52:43Speaker 2: You made it, Puzzle Master. I've had a terrible week.
- 1:52:45Speaker 2: And even more so, his friends, I believe on his
- 1:52:48Speaker 2: 20th birthday or something like that, took him to a
- 1:52:51Speaker 2: place for his birthday, told him, close your eyes. And
- 1:52:54Speaker 2: then when he opened his eyes, William Shatner was standing
- 1:52:57Speaker 2: in front of him. Oh, those are friends. That's a
- 1:53:01Speaker 2: really good friend. All right, three, four, or five, Deb?
- 1:53:04Speaker 2: Let's go three. Three sounds good. That's Mark. Mark, how
- 1:53:06Speaker 2: are you, buddy? Hey, doing great. Glad to hear that, buddy.
- 1:53:09Speaker 2: We're talking about Jason Alexander. He played George Costanza on Seinfeld.
- 1:53:13Speaker 2: Which one of these isn't true? Number one, his name
- 1:53:15Speaker 2: is really J. Scott Greenspan. Number two, he is a
- 1:53:19Speaker 2: professional level magician. Or lastly, started losing his hair at
- 1:53:22Speaker 2: just 19 years old. Let's go with.
- 1:53:30Speaker 6: No hair at 19.
- 1:53:31Speaker 2: That's the one, buddy. When did he really start winning
- 1:53:36Speaker 2: it or losing it?
- 1:53:41Speaker 12: Hello.
- 1:53:42Speaker 2: Yeah, when did he really start losing it? What age? 32. Yeah,
- 1:53:48Speaker 2: 16 years old. Sorry, we have to say goodbye to
- 1:53:51Speaker 2: you now. You don't win. We're kidding. Hang on. At
- 1:53:54Speaker 2: just 16 years old, he started losing his hair, and
- 1:53:56Speaker 2: he got the famous Costanza. How hard. Yeah, patterned burl. Oh,
- 1:54:01Speaker 2: at 16. That's a pretty interesting fellow, though. It worked
- 1:54:04Speaker 2: out for him.
- 1:54:05Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:54:05Speaker 2: He worked out just fine. I don't know.
- 1:54:07Speaker 3: A balding 16-year-old who's a Trekkie, it had to have
- 1:54:09Speaker 3: been tough.
- 1:54:10Speaker 2: His real name is J. Scott Greenspan, and he is
- 1:54:14Speaker 2: a professional-level magician. As a fact, he actually thought about
- 1:54:17Speaker 2: being a professional magician at one point before going into
- 1:54:20Speaker 2: everything else. He kind of has a magician vibe. He
- 1:54:23Speaker 2: does have a magician vibe, yeah, yeah. He did a
- 1:54:25Speaker 2: lot of commercials, too, if you'll remember, Jack. Remember when,
- 1:54:28Speaker 2: who did the hot side, cold side? Was that McDonald's?
- 1:54:31Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 1:54:32Speaker 2: Was it the arch or whatever it was?
- 1:54:33Speaker 1: Yes.
- 1:54:34Speaker 2: So they had the special styrofoam that when you got
- 1:54:36Speaker 2: your burger, the patty and the bun was on one side.
- 1:54:40Speaker 2: That's right. But the lettuce, tomato, and onion were on
- 1:54:41Speaker 2: the other side. The whole idea is keep the hot
- 1:54:43Speaker 2: side hot, the cold side cold. He was the spokesperson
- 1:54:46Speaker 2: for that program. That's right. That's right.
- 1:54:48Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:54:49Speaker 7: I only know one fun fact about him is that
- 1:54:51Speaker 7: essentially he's Larry David.
- 1:54:54Speaker 2: He is Larry David.
- 1:54:55Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 1:54:55Speaker 7: They didn't want to put Larry David in front of
- 1:54:57Speaker 7: the camera, I guess. He didn't want to do it.
- 1:54:59Speaker 7: So they just cast someone to be Larry David.
- 1:55:03Speaker 1: You know what?
- 1:55:03Speaker 2: Two actors turned the roll down before he actually got it.
- 1:55:06Speaker 2: I am curious to find out who Danny DeVito and
- 1:55:09Speaker 2: Nathan Lane. Wow. Both turn that roll down so that
- 1:55:14Speaker 2: not so that but he wound up getting it because
- 1:55:15Speaker 2: they turned it down.
- 1:55:17Speaker 8: And our YouTube feed, we're showing Jason Alexander in the
- 1:55:20Speaker 8: 1985 McArch commercial.
- 1:55:22Speaker 9: Look at that thing, dude.
- 1:55:23Speaker 20: Look at it.
- 1:55:23Speaker 2: I remember eating that thing. Yo, DeVito would have ate
- 1:55:27Speaker 2: at that roll. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I may have
- 1:55:29Speaker 2: done all right. Are you kidding me? He's got hair. Yeah,
- 1:55:32Speaker 2: but he did quite well in It's Always Sunny. I mean, that's,
- 1:55:34Speaker 2: you know. He's a nuke on that show.
- 1:55:36Speaker 6: Oh, yeah, yeah.
- 1:55:37Speaker 2: He didn't do quite well, man. He said in a
- 1:55:40Speaker 2: good way.
- 1:55:40Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:55:41Speaker 2: I mean, in a positive way. A couple other things about. Like,
- 1:55:43Speaker 2: ate it. A couple other things about Alan Greenspan. My
- 1:55:47Speaker 2: God almighty. Jason Alexander. Before we get to the top
- 1:55:50Speaker 2: of the hour, get some Ross thoughts on the way.
- 1:55:52Speaker 2: He was a force on stage long before he worked
- 1:55:54Speaker 2: in TV or movies. He won a Tony Award at
- 1:55:56Speaker 2: just 29 years old. Wow. Yeah, so he was on
- 1:56:00Speaker 2: the stage for years before he made it on TV
- 1:56:02Speaker 2: or movies. And real quick, it's the McDLT. The McGarrett
- 1:56:05Speaker 2: was the new thing that came out. The McDLT was
- 1:56:08Speaker 2: the two sides high and cold. Although he was nominated
- 1:56:10Speaker 2: for an Emmy seven consecutive years, he never won one.
- 1:56:14Speaker 2: He's the only member of the cast to never win
- 1:56:16Speaker 2: an Emmy for Seinfeld. That is whack. It is so whack.
- 1:56:20Speaker 2: It is whack considering this. English comedian and creator of
- 1:56:24Speaker 2: The Office. Now, that's Ricky Gervais, right? Correct. Says that
- 1:56:27Speaker 2: he thinks George Costanza is the greatest TV character ever created. Yeah,
- 1:56:32Speaker 2: he's not wrong. He's a monster.
- 1:56:35Speaker 7: I hear that opinion and I go, it's not wrong.
- 1:56:38Speaker 7: It's probably closer to right than anything.
- 1:56:40Speaker 2: You know what they were making at the end of
- 1:56:41Speaker 2: the series, right? Famously, Jerry Seinfeld was making $ 5 million
- 1:56:45Speaker 2: a year because he turned it down to reboot the thing.
- 1:56:48Speaker 2: even at $ 5 million an episode, I'm sorry. Do you
- 1:56:51Speaker 2: know what the other people were making? The other three
- 1:56:53Speaker 2: made the exact same amount. $ 1 million? $ 600, 000. Now look,
- 1:56:58Speaker 2: that's a great living, there's no question. But you can't
- 1:57:00Speaker 2: tell me that Kramer and Costanza aren't as valuable. to
- 1:57:04Speaker 2: that show as Seinfeld was. Don't forget Elaine. Elaine, for me,
- 1:57:09Speaker 2: didn't offer even a tenth of the comedic value the
- 1:57:11Speaker 2: other two did. I couldn't disagree with you more.
- 1:57:14Speaker 7: Oh, really? They're the showrunners. It's Seinfeld and Larry David.
- 1:57:19Speaker 7: They're the ones putting words in front of other words
- 1:57:21Speaker 7: for the funny people to say. But it's Larry David primarily, right?
- 1:57:24Speaker 7: How I've always looked at it was that it was
- 1:57:27Speaker 7: as co-50-50. Sometimes it was 80-20, some vice versa, but
- 1:57:33Speaker 7: it was as partnership as much as possible. And then
- 1:57:36Speaker 7: lastly here, he's an avid poker player. You can actually
- 1:57:39Speaker 7: see him playing in celebrity poker tournaments, and he's won
- 1:57:41Speaker 7: tens of thousands of dollars for charities while playing poker.
- 1:57:44Speaker 2: Loves the game. What you got for thoughts?
- 1:57:46Speaker 7: I needed permission to do today's Ross thoughts because we've
- 1:57:50Speaker 7: got to break down an argument I got in with
- 1:57:52Speaker 7: my wife last night, and it was such a special argument.
- 1:57:56Speaker 2: I've never had an argument like this.
- 1:57:58Speaker 7: I've never had one that when we woke up, we
- 1:58:00Speaker 7: both looked at each other and started laughing.
- 1:58:03Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. You're in a real relationship now, friend. Yeah,
- 1:58:07Speaker 2: I think I'm actually married. All right, we'll do that next.
- 1:58:16Speaker 14: The statistic Jim read about Gen Zers and teenagers not
- 1:58:20Speaker 14: wanting to or are not having intercourse. Isn't there a
- 1:58:29Speaker 14: statistic about how none of them want to drive either?
- 1:58:31Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. They don't. It's obvious. They have no
- 1:58:36Speaker 2: back seats. That's funny. Not a bad point. My girl
- 1:58:42Speaker 2: threw down in the day. You can feel it. All right,
- 1:58:45Speaker 2: welcome back to the Jim Colbert Show, Real Radio 104.
- 1:58:48Speaker 2: I'm proud of you, girl. We're going to do that.
- 1:58:50Speaker 2: That's for sure. I mean, who hasn't had sex in
- 1:58:52Speaker 2: the back seat of a car? I have. Deb?
- 1:58:57Speaker 4: Deb?
- 1:58:59Speaker 2: Isn't it time for Ross Thoughts? Jack, front and back. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:59:04Speaker 2: All the seats. Hood. On the hood, yeah. On the trunk.
- 1:59:07Speaker 2: Never had sex on top of a hood. In the car, though, right?
- 1:59:09Speaker 2: In the car, yeah. I mean, that's the only place
- 1:59:11Speaker 2: you had as a kid. That was the only privacy
- 1:59:15Speaker 2: you could really get. You found a place to go
- 1:59:17Speaker 2: park in the woods, you let it rip.
- 1:59:20Speaker 7: It's why I wanted a van. What a turn on, right?
- 1:59:23Speaker 7: Hearing Jim quote, let it rip.
- 1:59:25Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt. No doubt.
- 1:59:28Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:59:30Speaker 2: What's sexier than your girlfriend's head hitting the roll-down window handle? Honk, honk, honk, honk.
- 1:59:41Speaker 2: Every time you roll the window down a little bit.
- 1:59:43Speaker 2: Let's do some thoughts. It's weird.
- 1:59:48Speaker 1: It's funny.
- 1:59:48Speaker 2: Are you trying to be more adult? Sometimes. Well. It's Ross.
- 1:59:52Speaker 2: I can't help.
- 1:59:53Speaker 16: Spelled like sauce. It's Ross Thoughts. But I know a
- 1:59:58Speaker 16: guy that can. That mortgage guy, Don. If you are
- 2:00:02Speaker 16: not on top of your mortgage, I'm here to tell
- 2:00:05Speaker 16: you one thing. Well, it's what my wife did, and
- 2:00:07Speaker 16: she was completely right. Be on top of your mortgage.
- 2:00:10Speaker 16: Look at the finance rates. If you're on top of that, well,
- 2:00:14Speaker 16: you can change the trajectory for the rest of the decade.
- 2:00:17Speaker 16: That Mortgage Guide, Don, will help you be proactive about
- 2:00:21Speaker 16: that big mortgage of yours. Now, Jim, ThatMortgageGuideDon.com. I tease
- 2:00:27Speaker 16: by saying I got into an argument with my wife,
- 2:00:29Speaker 16: and this is the only argument that.
- 2:00:30Speaker 7: I feel comfortable sharing. But before we get into that,
- 2:00:34Speaker 7: can I just vent about something?
- 2:00:35Speaker 2: Yeah, sure.
- 2:00:37Speaker 7: We glossed over something briefly. Like, lightning hit a tree
- 2:00:43Speaker 7: across the street.
- 2:00:44Speaker 2: Of my house. Yeah. I called the city.
- 2:00:47Speaker 7: Uh-huh.
- 2:00:48Speaker 2: Be like, hey, I think the tree's about to fall.
- 2:00:51Speaker 7: And then the city shows up and goes, we agree.
- 2:00:54Speaker 7: This tree is about to fall. Also, that car can't
- 2:00:58Speaker 7: be parked like that. Write him a ticket. I called
- 2:01:01Speaker 7: the city on myself, and I wrote myself a ticket. Yeah,
- 2:01:05Speaker 7: and when you find this out as well, right?
- 2:01:06Speaker 2: The city, I don't believe, because this happened in Seminole
- 2:01:09Speaker 2: County when we lived there for Code Black. Tree fell
- 2:01:11Speaker 2: across the road, and they aren't the ones that clear it.
- 2:01:14Speaker 2: You have to do it. Fine. They only have to
- 2:01:16Speaker 2: clear the road area. Nothing else gets done. I can't
- 2:01:20Speaker 2: believe that was self-inflicted. Yeah, yeah. And that was one reason.
- 2:01:24Speaker 7: That's just one drop in the bucket of the last
- 2:01:26Speaker 7: two weeks that really made today's event for Ross Thoughts happen.
- 2:01:29Speaker 2: Okay. The house, been stressed. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 2:01:33Speaker 14: We are.
- 2:01:33Speaker 7: Sometimes we're just holding on to the walls for dear
- 2:01:36Speaker 7: survival with this toddler of ours.
- 2:01:38Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 2:01:38Speaker 7: And then with our house, that's basically back when TV was.
- 2:01:42Speaker 2: Black and white.
- 2:01:43Speaker 7: Right, yeah, yeah.
- 2:01:43Speaker 2: All right? This thing's old. We got to love the house.
- 2:01:46Speaker 2: We got to love the kid. Oh, forgot. We have
- 2:01:48Speaker 2: a dog. We got to love the dog, too.
- 2:01:50Speaker 11: Sure.
- 2:01:50Speaker 2: That's a lot of love. Are you out of love?
- 2:01:52Speaker 2: I'm a little out of love. A lot of love.
- 2:01:55Speaker 2: I'm not quite sure if I'm... Bless you.
- 2:01:59Speaker 7: Also, I am a little against the wall. And speaking
- 2:02:04Speaker 7: of against the wall, we just moved our bookshelf to
- 2:02:07Speaker 7: a different side of the wall.
- 2:02:08Speaker 2: Okay. And it looks amazing.
- 2:02:10Speaker 10: It does.
- 2:02:11Speaker 2: Nice.
- 2:02:11Speaker 11: Right?
- 2:02:12Speaker 7: My wife and I are working together on this house
- 2:02:15Speaker 7: as much as possible. I even broke into my neighbor's house.
- 2:02:19Speaker 2: Or not neighbor. He moved out. But I went into
- 2:02:22Speaker 2: his yard, fixed my fence from that side.
- 2:02:25Speaker 7: Nice.
- 2:02:25Speaker 2: Right?
- 2:02:25Speaker 7: And she's telling me where the post is. And, you know,
- 2:02:28Speaker 7: we're really a teamwork. Teamwork, dreamwork, marriage.
- 2:02:31Speaker 12: Love it.
- 2:02:32Speaker 7: I think we got to the end of each other's
- 2:02:34Speaker 7: patience at the same exact time.
- 2:02:36Speaker 2: Oh, no.
- 2:02:37Speaker 7: Because we bought that bookshelf and we moved it when
- 2:02:39Speaker 7: we realized there's enough room to put a bookshelf, like
- 2:02:42Speaker 7: a little bit more bookshelf on top. And it's an
- 2:02:45Speaker 7: Ikea piece of furniture, so you can buy a little
- 2:02:47Speaker 7: bit more. So now it's a bigger bookshelf.
- 2:02:49Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 2:02:49Speaker 7: That's exactly what we do. And at the end of
- 2:02:52Speaker 7: the day, I decided we could easily defeat Ikea furniture instructions.
- 2:02:59Speaker 2: Oh, no. Oh, no.
- 2:03:01Speaker 7: I think.
- 2:03:03Speaker 2: I think I break the box open, Deb, at 9 o'clock.
- 2:03:06Speaker 4: Oh.
- 2:03:06Speaker 2: A.M.? P.M. Oh, my goodness.
- 2:03:09Speaker 4: Oh.
- 2:03:09Speaker 2: This is going to take an hour. Oh. It's going
- 2:03:13Speaker 2: to be fine. Was she not here when Jim told
- 2:03:15Speaker 2: this story? Apparently not. I don't think I was. Yeah.
- 2:03:19Speaker 2: It could be 400 pieces, and the instruction sheet is
- 2:03:21Speaker 2: two photographs. Yeah, and they're not very detailed. They are
- 2:03:26Speaker 2: not at all.
- 2:03:27Speaker 7: No, this one has a third line, you know, on the,
- 2:03:32Speaker 7: you're like trying to figure out which piece is which. Anyways,
- 2:03:35Speaker 7: we start working together. We start doing good. And all
- 2:03:37Speaker 7: of a sudden we got a screwdriver. She has a screwdriver.
- 2:03:40Speaker 7: We both have screwdrivers. We're both putting this thing together.
- 2:03:43Speaker 7: You know, I pull out, I get a drill. I
- 2:03:45Speaker 7: start drilling mine together. She starts and I tell her
- 2:03:48Speaker 7: it's a race for the record.
- 2:03:49Speaker 2: She beat me. All right.
- 2:03:51Speaker 7: She definitely beat me by putting her book part of
- 2:03:54Speaker 7: the library. But then the event happened. We're both tired.
- 2:03:57Speaker 7: We're out of patience.
- 2:03:58Speaker 2: What time of the night is this? This is 1040.
- 2:04:01Speaker 2: So you're a couple hours into this thing. A couple
- 2:04:03Speaker 2: hours into this. Yeah.
- 2:04:04Speaker 7: Then she looks at me and I'll never forget it.
- 2:04:06Speaker 7: She goes, give me the screw gun. And I go,
- 2:04:13Speaker 7: I'm sorry, what? She goes, give me the screw gun.
- 2:04:18Speaker 2: Screw gun. I don't.
- 2:04:20Speaker 7: She goes, give me the screw gun for the light.
- 2:04:22Speaker 7: I go, do you need a light? I pull out
- 2:04:25Speaker 7: my cell phone. I put on my flashlight. And she
- 2:04:29Speaker 7: just collapses. She collapses. I go, what did I do?
- 2:04:34Speaker 7: And she goes, are you this dumb? Give me the
- 2:04:40Speaker 7: screw gun for the light. I go, I have a
- 2:04:43Speaker 7: light right here. It's on my phone. Do you need
- 2:04:48Speaker 7: a light? She goes, I need the screw gun for
- 2:04:52Speaker 7: the light. That's what I'm being told.
- 2:04:54Speaker 6: Is the screw gun the drill?
- 2:04:56Speaker 2: The screw gun is the drill. Okay. Is she trying
- 2:04:59Speaker 2: to drill a light?
- 2:05:00Speaker 7: Yes.
- 2:05:02Speaker 2: And I pulled out a light.
- 2:05:04Speaker 7: Lumination.
- 2:05:07Speaker 2: Because you squeeze the trigger, it has a little light
- 2:05:09Speaker 2: so you can see what you're screwing or drilling. Which
- 2:05:11Speaker 2: is what he assumed she wanted.
- 2:05:13Speaker 7: That's what I thought she wanted. And then this is
- 2:05:17Speaker 7: when the argument really amps up, Jim. I go, what
- 2:05:19Speaker 7: are you talking about? A drill gun? You mean a drill?
- 2:05:23Speaker 7: She goes, see, you understand it.
- 2:05:26Speaker 2: Oh, man.
- 2:05:27Speaker 7: And I go, after 30 seconds? I go, where's the
- 2:05:31Speaker 7: understanding of giving me a little grace of hearing a
- 2:05:33Speaker 7: new invention that I've never heard before with screw guns?
- 2:05:38Speaker 7: She goes, you understood it. And we get the thing together.
- 2:05:42Speaker 7: We put it up.
- 2:05:43Speaker 2: We both look at it and go, wow, that's beautiful.
- 2:05:46Speaker 2: We go to bed. We don't say much. We wake up.
- 2:05:50Speaker 7: First thing she says to me is screw gun for
- 2:05:54Speaker 7: the light. And we could not stop laughing. Where I'm
- 2:06:00Speaker 7: going with this is that there is nothing like marriage.
- 2:06:03Speaker 7: It is such a roller coaster. We were about to
- 2:06:05Speaker 7: rip off each other's heads. And then the fact is
- 2:06:08Speaker 7: that she all of a sudden decides to call a
- 2:06:10Speaker 7: drill a screw gun out of nowhere, which I'll still
- 2:06:13Speaker 7: die on that hill.
- 2:06:14Speaker 2: That's an interesting choice. That's an odd choice. I love
- 2:06:17Speaker 2: being on her side. This one, I'm on you. I'm
- 2:06:19Speaker 2: on your side. We got to reword that. Yeah, yeah.
- 2:06:22Speaker 2: I mean, on your side. Yeah, on my side. Get
- 2:06:24Speaker 2: off him!
- 2:06:27Speaker 7: A good night of sleep, waking up to somebody, reading
- 2:06:31Speaker 7: the room. Man, is there anything better in a marriage
- 2:06:35Speaker 7: when you get to finally, immediately, the first time you
- 2:06:38Speaker 7: get to laugh at something where you haven't been able
- 2:06:42Speaker 7: to laugh at it at all?
- 2:06:43Speaker 2: The greatest.
- 2:06:44Speaker 7: Boy, bottle it up. That's a billion-dollar product right there.
- 2:06:48Speaker 7: One of the best guttural laughs ever.
- 2:06:51Speaker 2: I think that's when you know you're a little ahead
- 2:06:52Speaker 2: of the marriage game a little bit, too, is when
- 2:06:54Speaker 2: you can kind of— Did you guys go to bed sour?
- 2:06:58Speaker 7: We didn't go to bed sour because we— Just too tired.
- 2:07:01Speaker 7: Because we were too tired, but also we were kind
- 2:07:03Speaker 7: of happy that we got it done, and it looked
- 2:07:05Speaker 7: so good. I know the whole adage of don't go
- 2:07:08Speaker 7: to bed upset. but I think there's a lot of
- 2:07:12Speaker 7: days in a year. Yeah, that happens too. Trust me
- 2:07:15Speaker 7: when I tell you. That adage is one thing. But
- 2:07:18Speaker 7: I love you, babe. I got to get the screw
- 2:07:21Speaker 7: gun for the light. So wildly confused. And when you
- 2:07:24Speaker 7: get into an argument, just understand it's temporary. You can
- 2:07:29Speaker 7: do stuff that you can't take back in those argumentative modes.
- 2:07:34Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 2:07:34Speaker 7: I know no one's asking for my marriage advice. Maybe
- 2:07:37Speaker 7: I'm just here to say that I love mine.
- 2:07:38Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And those are your Ross thoughts. I'm out, Pete.
- 2:07:41Speaker 2: Screw gun! For the light. Couldn't understand.
- 2:07:45Speaker 8: It was a screw gun. For the light.
- 2:07:50Speaker 2: 916-1041. You can text us at 77031. Back in one sec.
- 2:07:56Speaker 2: Meat's so juicy.
- 2:07:57Speaker 11: It's all about the cheese and the shrimp.
- 2:08:00Speaker 2: Please excuse me.
- 2:08:01Speaker 11: It's all about the drip and the crunch.
- 2:08:04Speaker 2: So delicious. It's all about the chefs and the crew. JCS.
- 2:08:09Speaker 5: And by the way, I don't want to cook a burger,
- 2:08:10Speaker 5: but I just made that up.
- 2:08:12Speaker 9: I love you guys.
- 2:08:15Speaker 2: Good job. I like that.
- 2:08:16Speaker 7: We're helping.
- 2:08:17Speaker 2: I guess I didn't make the ingredients list. Evil Eye
- 2:08:21Speaker 2: will go back and hide in his hole until his
- 2:08:24Speaker 2: voice comes back out and I can say, Mr. Jim.
- 2:08:31Speaker 2: All right. I don't know what he meant by that.
- 2:08:38Speaker 2: Has his voice ever been better than that? I think so.
- 2:08:41Speaker 2: He's waiting for his voice to come back. It's been better? Yeah. Oh, yeah.
- 2:08:45Speaker 9: Seriously?
- 2:08:46Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 2:08:47Speaker 2: All right, welcome back to the Jim Colbert Show. We're
- 2:08:49Speaker 2: already at 104.1. I'm Jim. There's Deb. Hello. And Ross.
- 2:08:54Speaker 2: I'm Paul. We'll be doing some sketches out in Daytona
- 2:08:58Speaker 2: next weekend or this weekend.
- 2:08:59Speaker 7: This weekend, Daytona. Tickets at rosscomedy.com. 14 sketches. This is
- 2:09:04Speaker 7: 90 minutes of sketch comedy.
- 2:09:05Speaker 2: So you'll be doing Suds Pops with us. Yep. And
- 2:09:08Speaker 2: then after that, you'll be leaving ahead of Daytona to
- 2:09:11Speaker 2: do your show there. It is all true. Yeah, and

- 2:09:41Speaker 2: all three, all four years. I mean, a superstar. I
- 2:09:44Speaker 2: remember when you got it, I was like, why are
- 2:09:45Speaker 2: you doing that? I mean, why are you spending money
- 2:09:48Speaker 2: on a foaming beer mug? And then I get to
- 2:09:49Speaker 2: the event and I see every kid within six miles.

- 2:09:54Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah.
- 2:09:54Speaker 12: Oh, yeah.
- 2:09:54Speaker 2: Oh, dude, he's going to be geeked about it.

- 2:10:34Speaker 2: around for 50 years, completely and utterly supported by donations
- 2:10:39Speaker 2: and donations only, no grants from the government, no handouts.
- 2:10:42Speaker 2: These guys do it on their own.
- 2:10:43Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of people assume that when you call
- 2:10:45Speaker 3: yourself a humane society that that means you get monies
- 2:10:48Speaker 3: from the National Humane Society.
- 2:10:50Speaker 2: And that is not the case.
- 2:10:52Speaker 3: And this is a really small, you know, animal rescue
- 2:10:55Speaker 3: that's out in Umatilla. You know, not a lot of
- 2:10:59Speaker 3: money out in that area. So they do their best
- 2:11:01Speaker 3: to help the community.
- 2:11:02Speaker 2: So we're just trying to help them. Absolutely. That's exactly
- 2:11:04Speaker 2: what we're trying to do. So join us this Saturday,
- 2:11:07Speaker 2: Downtown Mountain Door from 3 until 6.

- 2:11:11Speaker 3: like some one-off merchandise that no one else on the
- 2:11:14Speaker 3: planet has.

- 2:11:21Speaker 2: Absolutely. I picked up our Patriot irrigation today. Thank you, Ryan.
- 2:11:26Speaker 2: Our buddy Ryan donated a foursome to Deer Island Golf Club,
- 2:11:29Speaker 2: which I will say is right up there with the
- 2:11:31Speaker 2: Mission Inn golf courses in Lake County. And if anybody knows,
- 2:11:34Speaker 2: you know anything about golf, you know Mission Inn. It's
- 2:11:36Speaker 2: one of the most legendary golf properties in all of
- 2:11:38Speaker 2: Central Florida. Not only do we have Deer Island foursomes,
- 2:11:42Speaker 2: we also have foursomes to both of the golf courses.
- 2:11:45Speaker 2: at Mission Inn, El Campeon and Los Colinas. Wow. And
- 2:11:49Speaker 2: just so you know, the El Campeon, when you saw
- 2:11:51Speaker 2: Charlie Woods as a junior qualifying for these junior tournaments,
- 2:11:55Speaker 2: when you saw some of those clips on TV and online,
- 2:11:58Speaker 2: Tiger's son, he was doing that at Mission Inn.
- 2:12:00Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 2:12:01Speaker 12: Really?
- 2:12:01Speaker 2: Yeah, it is one of the championship golf courses. It
- 2:12:04Speaker 2: is one of the most storied properties in the entire state.
- 2:12:07Speaker 2: It's been around for years. And it is so fun.
- 2:12:11Speaker 2: The property is really interesting. It was an old school

- 2:14:40Speaker 7: some strawberry rhubarb.
- 2:14:41Speaker 2: I don't know why I do that. I don't know,
- 2:14:42Speaker 2: but it was twice today. It's awesome. My daisy cuddles.
- 2:14:45Speaker 2: I've got to tell you, it's funny. It's funny because
- 2:14:48Speaker 2: I do that with the word will sometimes. I'll say wheel.
- 2:14:51Speaker 2: I don't know why I do that. It's so bizarre.
- 2:14:53Speaker 2: Everybody has one of those. I think it's just I'm dying.
- 2:14:55Speaker 2: That's what it is. It's your rhubarb upon intended roots.
- 2:15:00Speaker 7: So.
- 2:15:01Speaker 2: We lost a legend. Dolly Parton died, what, about last week,
- 2:15:06Speaker 2: week before? A couple weeks, yeah. Yeah, it's been a, yeah.
- 2:15:09Speaker 2: So we wondered, right, with all these family members, because
- 2:15:12Speaker 2: she has a myriad family members up there, it was
- 2:15:15Speaker 2: just a matter of time before the drama started, right?
- 2:15:18Speaker 7: It's a real Knives Out mystery going on in the book.
- 2:15:21Speaker 7: Parton family, man.
- 2:15:22Speaker 2: And it hit. I mean, this thing hit. And it's
- 2:15:25Speaker 2: so funny. The guy that is being absolutely roasted by
- 2:15:31Speaker 2: the Parton family is the guy who made the announcement
- 2:15:34Speaker 2: that she passed away.
- 2:15:35Speaker 5: Right.
- 2:15:36Speaker 2: That's her nephew. Yeah.
- 2:15:38Speaker 8: And the one that he said, she chose me to
- 2:15:40Speaker 8: make this announcement.
- 2:15:41Speaker 4: Right.
- 2:15:41Speaker 2: And we don't even know if that's true now. His
- 2:15:44Speaker 2: name is Brian Seaver, and he is the nephew of
- 2:15:47Speaker 2: Dolly Parton. He also has been head of her security
- 2:15:50Speaker 2: detail for 20 years. He has a detail company called,
- 2:15:55Speaker 2: let's see, Seaver and Squadron Augmented Protection Services. You got
- 2:16:00Speaker 2: to get an acronym, brother. Yeah, not a good one.
- 2:16:04Speaker 2: And he started like threatening people in the family, like
- 2:16:10Speaker 2: shaking down people in the family. It says the court
- 2:16:13Speaker 2: order said it took into account the repeated threats cited
- 2:16:15Speaker 2: in this complaint, as well as alleged demands for payment.
- 2:16:18Speaker 2: And Seavers, quote, claimed access to weapons experienced with violence
- 2:16:23Speaker 2: and intention to retaliate. Wow.
- 2:16:27Speaker 9: Wow.
- 2:16:28Speaker 2: It says, as part of the order, Seaver and Saps
- 2:16:31Speaker 2: must refrain from entering any She's Alive property. In other words,
- 2:16:34Speaker 2: that She's Alive is the organization that managed Dolly Parton's estate. Okay.
- 2:16:39Speaker 2: And I think it's made up of an attorney and
- 2:16:41Speaker 2: some family members as well, some senior family members. They
- 2:16:44Speaker 2: want him as far away as possible. He can't get
- 2:16:46Speaker 2: within 1,000 feet of any of their properties. That's this
- 2:16:50Speaker 2: court order. Whoa. Where it gets sketchy is this, is
- 2:16:53Speaker 2: this statement.
- 2:16:55Speaker 1: Right.
- 2:16:56Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. This is this will scare you. So I
- 2:16:58Speaker 2: don't understand where the hell this guy is coming from here.
- 2:17:01Speaker 2: It says there was a series of text messages and
- 2:17:03Speaker 2: emails that were sent by Seaver starting just before Parton's death.
- 2:17:07Speaker 2: In other words, before she was dead, the messages begin
- 2:17:10Speaker 2: to begin with threats to destroy her brand. And then
- 2:17:15Speaker 2: after her death, depicts Seaver reveling in his newfound fame,
- 2:17:19Speaker 2: and he called himself an international arms dealer.
- 2:17:22Speaker 4: Right?
- 2:17:23Speaker 2: Why? In one message written September 1st and included in
- 2:17:26Speaker 2: the documents, he said, quote, I'm going to set up
- 2:17:29Speaker 2: a podcast dedicated to ruining Dolly's brand partnerships and telling
- 2:17:34Speaker 2: the violations these people have done on us. It's going
- 2:17:37Speaker 2: to be great. Or effing pay me. He was trying
- 2:17:41Speaker 2: to extort and shake down his own family. Because I
- 2:17:45Speaker 2: guess he thinks he has some inside information that would
- 2:17:48Speaker 2: make them look bad and kind of destroy her brand.
- 2:17:51Speaker 2: Nobody would believe a word of it for the record. Wow.
- 2:17:55Speaker 2: He also claims to have worked for private military contractors
- 2:17:58Speaker 2: overseas during the Iraq war and use that experience as
- 2:18:01Speaker 2: part of the threat. So he's trying to like, look,
- 2:18:02Speaker 2: I'm a war vet. I know how to kill people.
- 2:18:04Speaker 2: I was in Iraq doing like secret stuff.
- 2:18:07Speaker 7: Guy seems a guy like a guy who jumps in
- 2:18:09Speaker 7: the shower and his blood starts pumping.
- 2:18:11Speaker 2: Oh yeah man this guy's out there man i in
- 2:18:14Speaker 2: a million years i thought there would be some drama
- 2:18:16Speaker 2: some money drama for sure and some oh yeah some
- 2:18:19Speaker 2: inter-family lawsuits to make sure they're getting their piece of
- 2:18:22Speaker 2: that action i think she's worth like four or five
- 2:18:23Speaker 2: hundred million dollars uh but i'm sure her trust was
- 2:18:26Speaker 2: set up to just give that only partial parts of
- 2:18:29Speaker 2: that money to her family and the rest of it
- 2:18:30Speaker 2: go to the organizations she's been funding for years.
- 2:18:34Speaker 3: Which is such a shame because this This isn't what
- 2:18:37Speaker 3: you want to be talking about after Dolly Parton passed.
- 2:18:40Speaker 4: It's not.
- 2:18:50Speaker 2: Where they accuse family of– Oh, well, look at the
- 2:18:52Speaker 2: Nick Reiner thing. Well, not only– I mean look at
- 2:18:54Speaker 2: the movie Knives Out. We just joked about it.
- 2:18:56Speaker 3: But I mean the whole premise of that movie is
- 2:18:58Speaker 3: family fighting over a dying man's inheritance.
- 2:19:02Speaker 2: Isn't that what the show Severance is? Not quite about that,
- 2:19:04Speaker 2: but isn't it about who's going to control the realm
- 2:19:06Speaker 2: of Fox? Not Severance. Succession. Succession. Isn't that the entire show?
- 2:19:12Speaker 2: People in that family kind of maneuvering themselves to become
- 2:19:16Speaker 2: the biggest benefactor of that death? Well, it's almost a
- 2:19:19Speaker 2: trope at this point.
- 2:19:21Speaker 7: And what's wild about Succession is that after Succession and
- 2:19:24Speaker 7: that show came through and all that, I kind of
- 2:19:26Speaker 7: did a deep dive on, like.
- 2:19:27Speaker 2: How close is it to Fox?
- 2:19:29Speaker 7: It is.
- 2:19:30Speaker 2: Succession was light.
- 2:19:32Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 2:19:33Speaker 7: Compared to, what was it, Murdoch?
- 2:19:35Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, the Murdochs, right. Lachlan Murdoch, Rupert Murdoch, and
- 2:19:38Speaker 2: there's one more, Jack. I can't remember this.
- 2:19:40Speaker 7: The succession is the diet soda of the Murdoch family.
- 2:19:44Speaker 7: I could not get over how insane that legacy family
- 2:19:49Speaker 7: ended up being.
- 2:19:49Speaker 2: And you don't even know this guy. It wasn't because
- 2:19:51Speaker 2: of death, but remember the Alex Murdoch case?
- 2:19:53Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 2:19:54Speaker 2: I mean, the South Carolina case where this guy killed
- 2:19:56Speaker 2: his wife and his son. With a rifle because he
- 2:19:59Speaker 2: was doing sketchy stuff and they, you know, I mean.
- 2:20:02Speaker 2: And now he gets a new trial.
- 2:20:03Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 2:20:04Speaker 2: He's getting a little chapter two. Yeah. Thanks to that
- 2:20:07Speaker 2: clerk of court. God, money works. And it sucks. Like,
- 2:20:10Speaker 2: you know, it's coming. Like, you know, and even in
- 2:20:12Speaker 2: this storied life. Like of Dolly Parton, I mean, you
- 2:20:16Speaker 2: can't get a more storied career than Dolly Parton, right?
- 2:20:18Speaker 2: Beloved by everybody, great songs, you can't deny her talent,
- 2:20:23Speaker 2: you can't deny her charm, and you knew it was
- 2:20:25Speaker 2: going to happen. It was just which member of the
- 2:20:29Speaker 2: family was going to break down and do the stupid
- 2:20:31Speaker 2: stuff first, and we found them. So you have Rupert Murdoch,
- 2:20:35Speaker 2: then his eldest son Lachlan, he's the chosen successor, but
- 2:20:40Speaker 2: you also have James, Elizabeth, and Prudence Murdoch, Rupert's older
- 2:20:44Speaker 2: children from his first two marriages who exited the family
- 2:20:48Speaker 2: trust following a high profile succession feud.
- 2:20:50Speaker 18: Yeah.
- 2:20:51Speaker 2: Succession for you. Oh, wild.
- 2:20:53Speaker 7: Like I over here, I'm thinking succession is like, man,
- 2:20:57Speaker 7: this is pretty good fiction.
- 2:20:58Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 2:20:59Speaker 7: And then I find out that like, no, this is
- 2:21:02Speaker 7: just an homage to what really happened.
- 2:21:04Speaker 2: And what's wild is, is there the most powerful family
- 2:21:07Speaker 2: in America didn't have any of this. The richest, most
- 2:21:12Speaker 2: powerful family in America did not have one drop of this.
- 2:21:16Speaker 2: When Sam Walton died, not one argument within the Walton family.
- 2:21:21Speaker 2: Not one. I think they all pretty much divided that
- 2:21:24Speaker 2: money relatively equally. But there were, I think, four kids
- 2:21:28Speaker 2: in that Walton group. Alice is one, and I think
- 2:21:30Speaker 2: three boys, if I can remember right. And there was
- 2:21:33Speaker 2: no drama with the Walton family. And there was more
- 2:21:35Speaker 2: money there. They could buy and sell Foxx.
- 2:21:39Speaker 7: And call me crazy, but they're, and boy, in 2026,
- 2:21:42Speaker 7: this seems like 20 years ago, this would be insane
- 2:21:45Speaker 7: to say out loud, but there is a wholesomeness in retail,
- 2:21:50Speaker 7: like stores to me that like, it's because it's dying
- 2:21:55Speaker 7: because of Amazon. I'm so desensitized by just getting a
- 2:21:58Speaker 7: box on my doorstep.
- 2:22:00Speaker 2: Any retails like mom and pop now?
- 2:22:02Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 2:22:02Speaker 18: But yeah. Yeah.
- 2:22:03Speaker 2: And like a Walmart greeter. Yeah.
- 2:22:05Speaker 7: I mean, that was always a source of jokes and fun,
- 2:22:08Speaker 7: but now you look at it and go, man, nostalgia.
- 2:22:11Speaker 2: Now it's a robot. That was pretty Pixar of us
- 2:22:13Speaker 2: back in the day. But I got to tell you,
- 2:22:14Speaker 2: if you want that experience, shopping at tools, Ace Hardware,
- 2:22:17Speaker 2: I'm telling you straight up. Can I tell you, Tools
- 2:22:19Speaker 2: is great, but a lot of the Ace Hardware franchises
- 2:22:21Speaker 2: are the same way. Yeah, I love Tools because I
- 2:22:24Speaker 2: love Walter and Neil and the guys. They're wonderful people.
- 2:22:27Speaker 2: If you want the old school feel of shopping back
- 2:22:30Speaker 2: in the day, go to a Tools Ace Hardware. And
- 2:22:32Speaker 2: that's exactly what I mean.
- 2:22:33Speaker 7: There's a guy behind the counter who gives a damn
- 2:22:36Speaker 7: about your day and experience. Like that just doesn't happen
- 2:22:40Speaker 7: when you scroll on Amazon.
- 2:22:42Speaker 6: I got to tell you something.
- 2:22:43Speaker 2: You know what's weird? This is a true story. I
- 2:22:44Speaker 2: walked into an Ace Hardware. It didn't happen to be
- 2:22:46Speaker 2: a Tools because I wasn't near one. And I walked
- 2:22:49Speaker 2: into this Ace Hardware to go find something. When I
- 2:22:52Speaker 2: walked in, I noticed there was a smell that was like, man,
- 2:22:57Speaker 2: I've never had a hardware store smell this amazing. And
- 2:23:01Speaker 2: I actually kind of said that out loud. You know
- 2:23:03Speaker 2: those things that you'll do that sometimes? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 2:23:05Speaker 2: I'll be damned. This place smells amazing. I just made
- 2:23:07Speaker 2: that passing comment as I was walking into the store.
- 2:23:09Speaker 2: I said it to myself, right, because it just hit
- 2:23:11Speaker 2: me overwhelmingly. I was like, damn, dude, this is a
- 2:23:13Speaker 2: hardware store, and it smells so inviting in here. So
- 2:23:17Speaker 2: I go to my aisle, and I'm shopping for some
- 2:23:19Speaker 2: parts or whatever, and the guy comes up and he goes, hey,
- 2:23:21Speaker 2: I'm the manager. I overheard you say that. Thank you
- 2:23:24Speaker 2: so much because we chose a new floor cleaner two
- 2:23:27Speaker 2: days ago after using the same guy for 10 years.
- 2:23:30Speaker 2: And he used the new wax, and we weren't sure
- 2:23:33Speaker 2: that people were going to enjoy the smell because it's
- 2:23:35Speaker 2: different than the store smelled for 10 years. I appreciate
- 2:23:37Speaker 2: you saying that. Dude, that's a hardware store dude. And
- 2:23:41Speaker 2: this guy looked like a hardware store guy. He's got the.
- 2:23:44Speaker 7: Vest and the measuring stuff, the whole nine yards. Yeah,
- 2:23:48Speaker 7: I know that sounds wild. It feels foreign for me
- 2:23:51Speaker 7: to even feel that way, but there is a weird wholesomeness.
- 2:23:55Speaker 7: Maybe it's just the interaction with another human during an
- 2:23:58Speaker 7: exchange that isn't, like, confrontational and explosive.
- 2:24:01Speaker 2: Yeah, you'll get that at, like, Wassey's Meat Market over
- 2:24:04Speaker 2: in Melbourne. Those guys are the same way. It's a
- 2:24:05Speaker 2: family-owned company, so when you go in, you get real family,
- 2:24:08Speaker 2: kind of business family stuff. action real cool that.
- 2:24:11Speaker 7: Way and i'm a big believer of this is that
- 2:24:13Speaker 7: i understand that there are cheaper products other than a
- 2:24:16Speaker 7: small business yeah but don't use the cheapest prod the
- 2:24:21Speaker 7: cheapest product price as the barometer of like well i
- 2:24:24Speaker 7: can find it somewhere else cheaper dude.
- 2:24:26Speaker 2: The services everything you know we were just in downtown
- 2:24:28Speaker 2: mount dora because there's a store down there that sells
- 2:24:31Speaker 2: these uh glasses that my wife loves called peepers have
- 2:24:34Speaker 2: you ever heard of them They're like– Oh, yeah. They're
- 2:24:37Speaker 2: not prescription, but they're like reading glasses, but they're a
- 2:24:39Speaker 2: little more– they're more stylish. You can get different– aren't
- 2:24:43Speaker 2: those the ones you can change the frames out? Well,
- 2:24:45Speaker 2: I think you can, but you can also change– you
- 2:24:47Speaker 2: can do the power of them, right? Because I think
- 2:24:50Speaker 2: we wear like 250s or 250s or whatever. But I
- 2:24:53Speaker 2: never knew that this shoe store– because it's a shoe store–
- 2:24:56Speaker 2: I never knew it was downtown. I walk in there. Oh, Becker's. Yeah, dude.
- 2:24:59Speaker 2: I walk in there like this is the coolest.
- 2:25:01Speaker 5: Store in the world.
- 2:25:02Speaker 2: It's got a little bit of everything. But more importantly,
- 2:25:04Speaker 2: it carries the tennis shoes that I wear. And I
- 2:25:07Speaker 2: know now I can just go to downtown Mountain Door
- 2:25:09Speaker 2: instead of driving all the way into some, you know,
- 2:25:11Speaker 2: a corporate store.
- 2:25:12Speaker 12: A chain.
- 2:25:13Speaker 2: Listen, I still buy stuff off Amazon. I'm not saying
- 2:25:15Speaker 2: that I don't.
- 2:25:16Speaker 7: I'm just saying that it's worth the extra five bucks
- 2:25:19Speaker 7: to support one of your people in your community's dream.
- 2:25:24Speaker 2: I got to tell you, dude, the online shopping thing
- 2:25:26Speaker 2: is on my last nerve. Uh-oh. Is it? I don't
- 2:25:29Speaker 2: know about you guys. I am so... sick and tired
- 2:25:33Speaker 2: of breaking down cardboard boxes at my house. I got
- 2:25:37Speaker 2: to tell you, I know Jack's laughing. I'm not even,
- 2:25:39Speaker 2: I'm not even remotely joking. Right. Every effing day of
- 2:25:43Speaker 2: my life. When I come home, there have been, you know,
- 2:25:46Speaker 2: boxes received at my house and my wife, like every
- 2:25:48Speaker 2: other great, great wife in the world throws it right
- 2:25:51Speaker 2: out the door for me to break down, which is
- 2:25:52Speaker 2: what you should do. But, man, I got to tell you,
- 2:25:54Speaker 2: you wait three days, you'll have six boxes out there
- 2:25:57Speaker 2: taking up all this space. They're impossible to get rid of.
- 2:26:00Speaker 2: They take up all your garbage space. You're thinking, am
- 2:26:04Speaker 2: I moving out or am I moving in?
- 2:26:05Speaker 8: And then you get the good one, and it's like, oh,
- 2:26:09Speaker 8: it's a good one.
- 2:26:10Speaker 2: I got to keep it. I got no room. Yeah,
- 2:26:11Speaker 2: there's no room to keep them. I'm telling you, dude,
- 2:26:14Speaker 2: I hate this delivery culture that we have now. It sucks, man.
- 2:26:19Speaker 2: It sucks. Walmart greeter Cheryl's got your back.
- 2:26:22Speaker 7: That's right.
- 2:26:22Speaker 2: Right on. All right, you got some news for us, kid?
- 2:26:24Speaker 3: A man is sentenced to prison for threatening Randy Fine
- 2:26:28Speaker 3: and his children.
- 2:26:29Speaker 2: Yikes.
- 2:26:30Speaker 3: A new Publix is going to open in Apopka. Just
- 2:26:33Speaker 3: in case you need more proof, that area is growing.
- 2:26:36Speaker 3: And American Idol is leaving L.A.
- 2:26:39Speaker 2: Really?
- 2:26:39Speaker 3: We'll talk about that next during You Heard It Here First.
- 2:26:42Speaker 2: You got it. We'll take a little break. Come back
- 2:26:43Speaker 2: and get Deb's news and get the hell out of
- 2:26:44Speaker 2: here on a Wednesday.
- 2:26:45Speaker 1: Time for a Talkback Purge on The Jim Colbert Show.
- 2:26:51Speaker 13: Good afternoon, the Jim Colbert Show, Prince of the Island. Jimmy,
- 2:26:54Speaker 13: I just love it when I hear the ID10T talk
- 2:26:57Speaker 13: about Apple. Apple got busted for their software that they
- 2:27:01Speaker 13: sent out to slow down the battery so that you
- 2:27:03Speaker 13: can buy another phone. And also they just got busted
- 2:27:06Speaker 13: for their lies about AI being on all the phone, 15, 16, 17,
- 2:27:13Speaker 13: and they just launched it right now that Jack is downloading.
- 2:27:16Speaker 13: And it's $ 200 million. Go claim yours if you have
- 2:27:19Speaker 13: an old phone.
- 2:27:22Speaker 10: Well, it's just like big oil raking us over to coals,
- 2:27:26Speaker 10: insurance ripping us off big time, and the Hope Florida scandal.
- 2:27:30Speaker 10: Ain't nobody going to do anything, so what the hell?
- 2:27:36Speaker 14: And when I was in my 20s, 20s all right
- 2:27:41Speaker 14: i didn't live with my parents okay but if we
- 2:27:45Speaker 14: wanted to throw down we'd get a room as to
- 2:27:49Speaker 14: not disturb the roommates so why can't they just get.
- 2:27:53Speaker 2: A room Good job. Howdy, folks.
- 2:27:56Speaker 20: Kurt here.
- 2:27:57Speaker 2: I think we're all missing a big important part of
- 2:27:59Speaker 2: that Ross Thoughts segment about the tool nomenclature. You shouldn't
- 2:28:04Speaker 2: be using that impact driver for fasteners. We all know this.
- 2:28:08Speaker 5: Oh, wait.
- 2:28:09Speaker 2: He did say Ikea. Never mind. Hand tools only. Hand torque.
- 2:28:14Speaker 2: Hand torque. Yeah, he's right. You're not supposed to be
- 2:28:17Speaker 2: using them. There's one tough drill. Hey, how's it going?
- 2:28:23Speaker 20: Brother Sport up in Duval. Bro, that was so creative,
- 2:28:27Speaker 20: and thanks for the shout-out. Maybe one day we can
- 2:28:30Speaker 20: catch up at a JCS event. Bro, try to make
- 2:28:33Speaker 20: the bourbon bus next year. Hopefully they're going to schedule
- 2:28:36Speaker 20: another one.
- 2:28:36Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, we will.
- 2:28:37Speaker 20: Got to hook up sometime. Much love from Indy Atlantic
- 2:28:40Speaker 20: to you up there. Yeah, we're not going to make Suds, Puds,
- 2:28:44Speaker 20: and Pints this weekend. Wife and I are traveling, so
- 2:28:47Speaker 20: have a great one.
- 2:28:48Speaker 2: Thanks, brother.
- 2:28:49Speaker 4: Aloha.
- 2:28:49Speaker 2: Appreciate that so much.
- 2:28:51Speaker 11: Oh, sometimes I want a good burger, yeah, yeah.
- 2:28:56Speaker 2: I need her to make one.
- 2:28:58Speaker 11: I want a burger I had never, never, never had before.
- 2:29:05Speaker 1: No, no.
- 2:29:06Speaker 2: Not too bad.
- 2:29:08Speaker 11: And I want to tell you right now, I believe,
- 2:29:13Speaker 11: I truly believe that I'm never going to cook a
- 2:29:18Speaker 11: burger for.
- 2:29:18Speaker 2: You, yeah. Hulk smash!
- 2:29:24Speaker 4: Burger.
- 2:29:25Speaker 2: There you.
- 2:29:28Speaker 16: Go.
- 2:29:28Speaker 2: Hulk smash! Wasn't that good? Burger. All right. 407-916-1041. Text us. 77031.
- 2:29:40Speaker 2: You could do a R. Kelly burger. I believe I
- 2:29:42Speaker 2: can fry. Oh, nice. So is the... Extra mustard. Our
- 2:29:50Speaker 2: winner today would be the... The girl, right? Yeah, Shake
- 2:29:53Speaker 2: Your Honey. Yeah, Shake Your Honey Burger. Shake Your Money...
- 2:29:56Speaker 2: Honey Maker Burger. Shake Your Honey Maker Burger. All right.
- 2:29:59Speaker 2: You're in. Cheyenne. All right, Cheyenne.
- 2:30:01Speaker 10: Thanks, buddy.
- 2:30:02Speaker 2: We appreciate that so much. We'll pick another contestant tomorrow
- 2:30:05Speaker 2: and another on Friday. So, guys, you guys take tonight.
- 2:30:08Speaker 2: Come up with something creative. Block off this time. This
- 2:30:11Speaker 2: is a good-ass time. Everybody who's come out to cook
- 2:30:13Speaker 2: for us has had a blast doing it. Yep.
- 2:30:16Speaker 7: All right?
- 2:30:16Speaker 2: So get on board with this and call us with
- 2:30:19Speaker 2: a burger idea tomorrow or do us a talk back tomorrow,
- 2:30:21Speaker 2: and you can be involved to one of our most
- 2:30:24Speaker 2: fun events. It's so much fun.
- 2:30:26Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 2:30:26Speaker 2: All right, Deb, let's do some news.
- 2:30:29Speaker 1: It's time for You Heard It Here First on The
- 2:30:32Speaker 1: Jim Colbert Show.
- 2:30:34Speaker 3: A man who pled guilty to making graphic and disturbing
- 2:30:37Speaker 3: threats against Central Florida Congressman Randy Fine will spend nearly
- 2:30:41Speaker 3: the next decade behind bars.
- 2:30:43Speaker 6: Wow.
- 2:30:43Speaker 3: Fine tells Fox 35 it's a warning for anyone with
- 2:30:46Speaker 3: similar thoughts.
- 2:30:48Speaker 2: Saying that you're going to come to my house and
- 2:30:49Speaker 2: kill me and make my kids watch it is not
- 2:30:52Speaker 2: something that people should have to experience.
- 2:30:54Speaker 3: Yeah, prosecutors say 26-year-old Edwin Guerrero of Massachusetts was motivated
- 2:30:58Speaker 3: by anti-Semitism. A federal judge sentenced him to a total
- 2:31:02Speaker 3: of nine years and 11 months in prison.
- 2:31:05Speaker 2: That's a hate crime at that point, right? That is, absolutely.
- 2:31:07Speaker 3: All right, a new Publix store is opening in a pop-up.
- 2:31:11Speaker 3: The expanded format will feature bakery and deli departments, pickup
- 2:31:14Speaker 3: and delivery options, a drive-thru pharmacy, and an adjacent liquor store.
- 2:31:20Speaker 3: It's going in at the shops at East Shore, and
- 2:31:22Speaker 3: it's part of Publix's ongoing expansion in Florida, not to
- 2:31:25Speaker 3: mention the ongoing expansion of a pop cook.
- 2:31:28Speaker 2: Which is growing by leaps and bounds. Exponentially.
- 2:31:31Speaker 8: And that's what Sarah was calling about. She's been setting
- 2:31:33Speaker 8: that public up.
- 2:31:34Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. So it's going to open on September 24th,
- 2:31:39Speaker 2: so that's coming up fast. That's tomorrow. That's tomorrow.
- 2:31:41Speaker 7: Oh, wow.
- 2:31:42Speaker 2: Tomorrow is the day.
- 2:31:42Speaker 6: That is.
- 2:31:44Speaker 3: And then finally, American Idol is moving from Los Angeles
- 2:31:48Speaker 3: to Atlanta after 25 years of production in Southern California.
- 2:31:51Speaker 3: Fremantle Media confirmed the move as Georgia attracts film and
- 2:31:55Speaker 3: television productions with a 30% transferable tax credit and other incentives.
- 2:32:01Speaker 3: American Idol joins other competition shows moving production out of
- 2:32:04Speaker 3: Southern California, including Shark Tank, which is heading to Atlanta.
- 2:32:08Speaker 3: The Masked Singer previously moved from Los Angeles to New Jersey.
- 2:32:11Speaker 3: American Idol premiered on Fox in 2002 and returned to
- 2:32:14Speaker 3: ABC in 2018 following a two-year hiatus. And you heard
- 2:32:20Speaker 3: it here first on the Jim Colbert Show.
- 2:32:22Speaker 2: I think California has a legit problem. Yes, they do. Yes,
- 2:32:25Speaker 2: they do. I mean, Warner Brothers is hauling ass, right?
- 2:32:27Speaker 3: They had threatened if their deal hadn't gone through, but
- 2:32:29Speaker 3: then their deal had gone through.
- 2:32:31Speaker 2: But the fact that Warner Brothers can threaten to leave
- 2:32:33Speaker 2: that state, and now we see these other entities leaving.
- 2:32:36Speaker 2: What about the Animaniacs? Yeah, right. I don't know, dude.
- 2:32:40Speaker 2: Kind of crazy over there. All right, who do we
- 2:32:41Speaker 2: have to thank today, young lady?
- 2:32:42Speaker 3: We want to thank that mortgage guy, Don, for saucing
- 2:32:45Speaker 3: up our Wednesdays.

- 2:33:26Speaker 2: Thanks, guys. Jack, question of the day.
- 2:33:28Speaker 8: Yeah, in our YouTube chat, we posed the question, if
