  Speaker 1: So I know, there's so much serious stuff going on
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: we could talk about, but I feeling kind of frivolous,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: quite frankly, because before bladies are left, during the break,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: we were talking about the candy thing, the Reese's controversy
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: and whether they changed the resist And during the break,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: when you guys could, I started singing in the studio,

• 0:27
  Speaker 1: to be so many cool songs we actually sang the commercial. Uh,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: you know, sometimes you feel like a nuts sometimes you
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: don't everything everything. We need to get back to that.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Commercials were at least entertaining when we had, you know,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: something memorable about it. And I'm not talking about some
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: full fledged thing. I remember once upon a time, and
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know it's been overtaken by now, I'm sure,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: but reach out, reach out and touch someone was the
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: most recognized commercial jingle in the world. Really, yeah, you
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: know what that is. I figure you're too young for that.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: That's the old bell system, when people had home telephone.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Okay, I thought, maybe I want to buy the world
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: a coke might.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: Be up there.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: The Hillside Singers, I'd like to teach the world to sing. Yes,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: that was that actually was turned into a top forty hit.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: No nice, it was a top forty hit. I think
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: it went like three minutes forty six seconds, and and
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: I want to say it maybe it's just like number eight,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: maybe number seven on the top forty charts.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: Fair enough.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: The Hillside Singers.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: Did they make anything else?
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: No? That was it? Okay, that was it. It was
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: the seventies, so you could get away with one hit
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: and disappearing.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: What a weird one hit though, like Charlie.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Dor remember Charlie Dorr. Of course you don't. You weren't
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: born there in pilot of the air waves. Here is
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: my request. You don't have to play it, but I
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: hope you'll do your best. It was one hit and
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Charlie dor was gone.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Just about a guy calling him to calling a radio stadi.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, radio songs are id a big back. That was
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: a Harry Chapin. That was I Am the Morning DJ
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: at w Old. Yeah, radio songs were big, and wkrap
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: was on the air and the movie FM was on
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: big screens, which I think actually became wkrap for the
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: most part, you ever see that. No, of course you didn't. Man,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: you're so young. Tonight is the h Tonight is the
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: State of the Union address, which will be right here
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: on six to ten DOUBLETV and beginning at nine pm.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: You can hear it. I urge you to listen to
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: it on the radio. You can do it over the airwaves.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: You can listen to us on the iHeartMedia app. But
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: and I mean this sincerely, when you listen to the words,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: you hear the speech better than watching it on television.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: If you're watching on television, you're waiting to see if
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: you know AOC throws something at the president, or if
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: you know Chuck Schumer is uh is falling asleep, or
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: maybe the bring Nancy Pelosi in just to tear stuff up.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Who knows. But you spend too much time watching and seeing,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: you know, what's the president, how's he standing? What's he
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: looking like? And plus against Mark and I talking off
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: the air, you guys, you miss so much. You really
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: do talking off the air about the fact that right
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: after Jim Jordan was with us, if I were the
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: party in power right now, I would change the rules
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: because you know, the State of the Union started off
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: as a letter to Congress. It wasn't a speech, It
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: was just a letter to Congress from the President saying,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: here's where we stand this year. And what was that
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: seventeen ninety six? Sure, I think it was seventeen ninety six. Yeah,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: that's what it sounds like, January seventeen ninety. I think
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: you just don't know stuff. So anyway, anyway, I don't
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: know the movie FM. Sorry, Martin maul, Eileen Brennan, really
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Steely Dan did the sound FM. No static at all.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Really, I know Martin maull is really funny.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I like him and Scott never come down, Martin maull
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: and Fred Willard.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Fred Willard, they had that. I've seen clips of that show,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: and yes, this is great, that's great.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: You're so young. So anyway, here's what I would change
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: if I were the party in power and was Here's
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: why I changed about the state of the Union. Five
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: minutes standing ovation at the beginning is allowable. Five minutes
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: standing ovation at the end is allowable. During the speech,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: shut up, no, no applause, no that this could be
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: like a fifteen minute speech if we didn't stop every
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: second sentence for an ovation and it's just politics. It's
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: just one side showing the other. You know, we're louder
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: than you and we support this, and.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: One side setting there, well, it used to be one
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: side would set there and be really quiet.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, now they're not fought up.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: And now there's like booing and stuff.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: But I again, I think it's funny. I brought this
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: up earlier. Nancy Pelosi praised by the left tearing up
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: the speech at Donald Trump's State of the UNI. What
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: was that twenty one twenty whatever? Was? She tore up
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: the speech and she was praised by her people. But
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: when when Obama was president giving his speech and a
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Republican said you lie, they wanted him censured and taken
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: out behind the tool shed and in all kinds of stuff.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: That was a big deal. What was Joe Wilson?
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: I think very good, very good, And what he said was,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: you know, truthful, as far as a lot of people
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: were concerned. You lie, that's all. No threats, no confrontation
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: to one syllable words, you lie set the world on fire.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: But standing up there and tearing up the speech as
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: you stand behind the president with your old quivering lips
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: and wrinkly face.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: Ah, she didn't plan that.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: No, she didn't plan it at all.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: She said she was on some podcasts. I don't know
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: how long ago it was, so I don't want to
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: date it. But she's like, no, I didn't plan that.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: That was like okay.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: I just wonder, frankly disconnected as people are today, and
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: you know how much that annoys me. You don't pay
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: attention to stuff. I wonder how many people are going
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: to either tune into the radio or watch it on television,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: if they even care about the State of the Union anymore.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Does it matter to the people or do they just
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: consider it another for at or you know, a political necessity.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: It's just something we do now.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: As a child in our world, it'll be a big deal.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: But there's a lot of people who don't pay attention
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: to anything.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: As a child, I hated the State of the Union.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: I also hated political conventions because back then there were
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: three channels, well four if you counted public TV.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: Oh no, they all carried it.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Everybody carried the Democrat convention, everybody carried the Republican convention.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: You couldn't get away from it. You had to watch
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: it or you didn't watch TV that night, and so
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: I spent a lot of time not watching TV. But again,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: I was a child, and when I was a child,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I thought as a child, as a grown up, as
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: an adult, as an alleged productive member of society. I
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: do try to pay attention, but I do feel like
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm out on my own. A lot of times.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: I don't feel like people pay attention. They just there.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: It's almost as if you're programmed. You just, you know,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: follow your instructions, your marching orders if you will, and
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: you know, people say, okay, vote here's who you vote for.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: You go vote for. You don't do any research. You
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: don't bother to find out anything. You don't investigate on
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: your own. You've got everything at your disposal now www.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Dot tell me every damn thing was ever known to mankind.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Dot com and it's there, Man, it's there.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: The Internet was supposed to make it smarter.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: It's not working out that way.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: I think people just tend if they start looking Thiggs
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: up because they're so biased on both sides, dependent now
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: on both sides, that they only look out things, look
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: for things that they agree with exactly, echo.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Change exactly exactly. And when you do that, you're doing
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: yourself a disservice and your country a disservice. I you know,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: I listen to both sides. I have some liberal news
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: stuff that I look at every day as well as
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: some allegedly conservative stuff. Sometimes I have my doubts about that,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: and then I use this this gray matter inside my
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: skull to come to my own conclusions. And people just
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: don't do that anymore. They wait or they respect.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: It's a meme. The meme says, you know Donald Trump
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: uh secretly sleeps in a coffin in the basement of
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: the White House. There will be people out there who
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: propagate that and go look. Put Trump's a vampire.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: I see it every day.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: He drinks the blood of children. They do this stuff
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: instead of paying attention to the world around them.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: What fav what's some of my favorite people who have
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: their own echo chamber thing going on on Twitter?
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: You know, gronk uh huh or any Ai.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: They'll ask Ai a question publicly to like God, They'll
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: get the wrong answer, so then they just keep trying
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: to rephrase the question so they get the answer they want.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: I'm like, you're arguing with an Ai bought because you're
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: so biased that you cannot accept that you could be
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: possibly wrong.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: And we've already seen that AI bots will lie. They
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: will lie to accommodate the person who is using them.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: They will lie. We even have a judge it's under
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: scrutiny right now for writing a decision that was based
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: on three or four cases the AI gave them that never.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: They didn't exist, they weren't real cases, but the judge
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: cited them as precedent when delivering a verdict. That's just lazy,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Yes it is, and that's what most people have become.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: We got microwaves that cook fast. We got remote controls
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: that change the channel so we don't get our big
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: calory carcasses up off the sofa and over and push
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: a button. Everything is about not moving as much as possible.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: It's over sixty degrees. Better turn on the air conditioning
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: in the house. We're going to run from the house
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: to the car. It's an exercise we'll get so we
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: can turn on the air conditioning in the car where
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: we go, so stop it. I don't know if we
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: right now, if something happened and we went back in
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: time and we had to go out and forge our
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: way on the frontier, again, I don't know that we
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: could do it. There might be a couple of dozen
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: people in this country. They'll go out in the woods
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: and kill what's for dinner and build what we need
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: to live in. But there's a bunch of people. If
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: there's no remote control, if there's nobody there to tell
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: them what to do, how to do it, no YouTube
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: video to consult on how the roof should be constructed,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: they will be sleeping on the ground in the woods
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: until the bear comes and eats them. And the bears
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: would love it, just saying.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Could you imagine people now going to the library solely
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: to look things up instead of using their phone?
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Nobody does. Nobody does. And I go in the library
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: quite a bit. My grandson's going to and what all
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: the young minds, what are they doing sitting on computers
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: playing video games. You have all knowledge available to you
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: in that library, on the internet, in the books, it's
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: all that, and you're doing roadblocks, And those kids become
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: adults that are gonna do roadblocks or whatever video game
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: is popular. When they become adults, instead of acquiring and
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: utilizing knowledge to make informed decisions that will shape the
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: current mold the future they'll just do what they're told.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Whoever advertises the most. I heard that name the most
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: while I was watching TV last night, so that must
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: be the person I should vote for. Commercials that don't
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: even make s it this, this kennidate has been endorsed
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: by then OCOPA three, well, the Naco PO three endorsed them,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to vote for him. What is it?
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but it was an endorsement, So I'm
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: going to vote for him yet, dummy, And I'm sorry,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: but I'm very pessimistic about what our voters bring to
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: the table. Quite frankly, after after vote Brown all the
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: way down worked in Columbus, Ohio, I lost a great
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: deal of faith in the American electorate. So I am
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: urging you inform yourself, start paying attention. You don't even
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: have to agree with me. We don't even have to
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: be on the same political page. But inform yourself, research,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: ask questions, use the Internet for something more than kitten videos.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: We are in a very very very important time in
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: this country. And again I'm not telling you got to
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: agree with me. I'm just asking you not to make
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: off the cuff decisions or allow other people to do
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: so just based on what you saw on the TV
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: last night or what you heard on the radio today.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Inform yourself and honest conclusion is an honorable conclusion. Even
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: if I think you're wrong, If I know you worked
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: for it, I'm okay with it, and I think most
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: people are, or maybe that's just me. I don't know.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: So are you Are you going to be watching or
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: listening to the State of Union tonight with me? Yeah? Yeah,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: I will.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, Kentucky plays tonight, so I gotta watch that,
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: so that has to
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: See what I mean.
