• 1:54
  Speaker 4: Your radio, roll up your window, your window.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Tell your kid to shut up. Yeah, please. Uh, very
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: solemn today, uh, in America, 25th anniversary of, uh, nine 11,
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: one of the worst moments of my broadcast career. Um,
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: it was, I, I have to tell you, you know,
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: kind of going through this today as we were preparing
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: for the show today. Um, I can say truthfully, there
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: are very few times in my life where I didn't
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: know how to feel. Yeah. That was a specific thing.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: When my grandmother passed away, who was the most important
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: person in my life, I didn't know how to feel.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: It was so shocking and overwhelming because she died at
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: 59 years old. It was so shocking and overwhelming. I
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: literally went into a shock period for about two or
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: three days. My family even said so. Didn't talk much.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Walked around like a zombie. Didn't know how to feel.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Didn't know how to express myself. Didn't understand what was
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: happening to my life. And I remember specifically the morning
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: of 9-11. When this happened and then the second plane hit,
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: I had that same feeling. And guys, I'm telling you,
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: maybe one other time in my life, I've had that
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: feeling where I honestly just didn't know what to do.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Because they're novel events, right? It's the first time you
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: experience that amount of loss. And then with September 11th,
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: that's the first time we all went through something like that.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Because few of us were around in 1941.
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: And the other aspect of it, too, is that there's...
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: There's another layer to it when you're a broadcaster, right?
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: Because our job, just like after Pulse, I remember crying
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: in the studio with Bud and him hitting me on
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: the shoulder and it's like, I'll be able to do
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: my job. But I'm also still a member of this
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: community that just had.
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: Its teeth kicked in.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: So you have to balance those things, your duty. Of course,
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: that day, I can't speak for you guys, but we
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: ended up being overtaken and it was just a simulcast
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: because we couldn't keep up with the information. We didn't
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: have a television in the studio. So we had to
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: rely on the wire. And at the time, My co-host,
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: his wife was a flight attendant for American Airlines. And
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: so there was that level of terror.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: Where is she? Is she OK?
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: Right. Although I don't have a familial connection with it
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: or even had a friend that was up there as
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: part of it. I still felt like I was right there.
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: We all did.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was just kind of a wild thing.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: We all did.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: You know, obviously a very solemn day. As a broadcaster,
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: like Deb's saying, on their side of the world, you know,
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: that's how they handled it. On this side of the world,
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: much like with Pulse, I mean, I got out of
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: bed and drove here, what, midnight, 1 o'clock in the morning,
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: whatever it was, 4 o'clock in the morning when that happened.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: After Pulse, yeah.
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: 6 o'clock in the morning.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, News Junkie woke me up pre-7. We were on
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: the air by 8, and it was just he and I,
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: and then– Everyone started showing up after that. And then
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: we went for 13 hours. Right, exactly. I remember with 9-11,
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: because we were the midday show at that time. And
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: I remember coming in and specifically, we all were in shock.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: We all didn't know what to do. And I think myself, Russ,
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: and the rest of the crew at the time... just
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: felt that the most important thing at that point was
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: to keep people as informed as we possibly could about
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: what was going on, how they could help, if they
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: could help, and just keep information coming as much as possible.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: That's what we did during our shift, I remember.
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: And you know what's so interesting is that 25 years later,
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: and the TSA just this week announced that those with
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: certain clearances already, like pre-check, will finally be able to
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: have loved ones see them off at the gates, something
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: that On September 10th, we were all able to do.
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: You could go to the gate and greet your loved one.
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: You could go to the gate and say goodbye.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: In the 90s, I was flying back to Florida from
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: New Jersey, and I didn't see my sister. She came
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: to the airport. came on the plane to say hello
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: and goodbye to me.
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: See?
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: What? She's like, oh, I just have to say goodbye
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: to my brother. I'm like, okay.
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: And now she'd be tackled in some detention facility somewhere.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: By the time he said that, she'd have been tased
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: five times. Listen, pointed out those who lived through the
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Kennedy assassination had a similar feeling of, you know, national mourning.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: And that was 1963. Right.
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: Especially because it was the president and then it was
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: his brother.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: I mean, that I.
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: Think in that 1963 era between 63 and then 69,
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: I believe, was RFK.
• 6:26
  Speaker 7: RFK.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: Sirhan Sirhan, right? Was 63 also the.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: Year that we lost Dr.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: King?
• 6:30
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I believe it was.
• 6:37
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: So, I mean, that was a terrible year. Terrible year.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: But as we remember today, you know, obviously paying attention
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: to as much as I can, as much as I
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: can when it comes to, you know, all the memorials
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: going on, all the people kind of paying. And to
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: be honest with you, for me, I have found it
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: interesting to seek out interviews with people who are on
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: the ground at the time, people who and In office
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: at the time, how they were going over it, police chiefs,
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: fire chiefs. It's just really interesting to see and hear
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: how quickly they engaged and moved toward the disaster to
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: try to help. I mean, you know, really amazing stuff.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: 1968 for MLK Jr. 's assassination.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: Okay. I thought it was earlier than that.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: Now, 60s were tough.
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: 60s were tough until 69.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: That was a good year.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, lunar landing.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: 67 had its moments. One good, one bad. I was born,
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: I get it.
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: One good, one bad. You know, I read an interesting
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: article today, actually, of a gentleman who survived, but was
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: like on the 83rd floor of the North Tower and
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: saw the plane, could actually make out the people in
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: the cockpit.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: No way.
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: And it crashed in the floors above them. But they
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: were able to escape. And reading some of those harrowing
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: accounts is– it just– again, the shock I understand. I
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: don't know about you guys. I'm one of those people.
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: The bigger the news, the longer and more time it
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: takes for me to process it. I remember kind of
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: walking around like a zombie for a while after– because
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: you're right. You just didn't know because everything changed.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Right, right, right.
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: I mean do you guys remember how freaky it was?
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: How quiet the skies were.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: Because nothing took flight for weeks.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: That was the big statement after the fact is, you know,
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: when you have dignitaries, you know, going to television stations
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: and being interviewed and saying to you as a person,
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: like hours after this happened, your life has changed. You
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: don't know it yet, but it has. And you were
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: just kind of, you know, and with that kind of,
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: with that ominous kind of tone to it, you're kind
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: of wondering, oh, Jesus, what's, you know.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: What's going to happen?
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: What other than the obvious that we know is going
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: to happen is going to happen? You see the drone display?
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: That, I have to say, that actually brought me to
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: tears this morning. There's a display in New York. They've
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: done it every year, actually, if you remember the beams
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: of light that they've normally done. So this year, I'm
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: not sure who's behind it, but they used 2,977 drones,
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: one for every life lost on 9-11, and they've recreated
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: the Twin Towers. I mean, they're architecturally the same size,
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: the same height.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: I did not, no.
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I saw it on an Instagram reel, and it's
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: when you first watch the drones kind of– helix their
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: way up through the sky it almost looks like souls
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: on their way to heaven i.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: Don't that's exactly what i was going to say i
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: don't know if that was by by design i feel
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: that has to be because everything with those things is
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: programmed right right every single movement of those drones is
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: programmed but jack if you didn't see it you can
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: actually find it on youtube and uh look for the
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: uh the 9-11 drone show where deb's right all of
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: these go up in a way helix And as they
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: go up into the helix, they then form into what
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: looks to be the Twin Towers. It's pretty crazy.
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: I just sent the reel to Jack.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: Oh, did you really?
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: On the Insta.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, very nice. Let me ask you something else.
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: I know you don't.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: We never get– Do you guys think that people– because
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: we know that this happens at the parks at Disney.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: Do people take ashes down to the 9-11 Memorial Center
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: or in that area and try to leave? Because I've
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: been there. There's little planters and areas. You couldn't– without
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: being known, you couldn't pour it into the pool because
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: that thing is cleaned daily. By the way, I don't
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: know if you know that. I have an entire– An
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: entire staff that works on that thing from midnight to
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: like 8 in the morning.
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: Oh, I did not know that.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: It's cleaned every day of the week. Oh, wow.
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: Well, yeah, you don't want mildew or algae or anything
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: like that.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: No trash in it whatsoever. Never anything to disrespect the memories.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: That's an interesting question.
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I have to be honest. I don't know.
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: And I don't know if you would want the ashes
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: of another loved one to be at a place of
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: such tragedy.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. Did you guys see Scott Maxwell's piece today?
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: The one about don't forget the I love you's?
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, man.
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it was really touching about the one who lost
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: his brother.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and that photograph of him kneeling at that wall
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: and then he lost his brother, lost his father. And
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: it is a moving piece. If you want to see Scott,
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: you know, I know Scott talks about politics a lot.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: He talks about that a lot, whether it be local politics,
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: state politics, national politics.
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: He keeps us in the know.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: Kind of known for that. But I got to tell you,
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: he's got a side of him that is unbelievably eloquent
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: when it comes to explaining and talking about situations like this.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: I would urge everybody, if they could, to slide over
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: and take in Scott's piece today about about that family
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: that uh... lost the brother and the gentleman was his
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: brother and his dad and his dad wasn't in nine
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: eleven losses brother there is father and they started making
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: back every year.
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: Yes so in two thousand eleven like you said a
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: b c news actually ended up snapping a photo of
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: this gentleman's father is after he found his son's name uh...
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: on the north tower memorial and he dropped his knees
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: at while holding his son's name and kind of became
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: that national face.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: Of gray area yes so uh.
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: but it is it's important because you know, like the
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: guy says in the article at the end of the day,
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: what we all learned is that the people that you
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: love are the most important thing.
• 12:03
  Speaker 10: 100%.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah. I have to tell you something else. There's
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: a photo, a photographer that got a bunch of pictures
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: of people walking out of this smoke after, you know,
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: and there, it looks like a zombie movie. They're, you know,
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: they're walking in the background. You still see the billowing
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: smoke and, dust plume of, and then they're walking out
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: of that. It is, it is so, it, it, it
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: looks so staged in Hollywood and it's not even one,
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: not even a half a percent of that. It's exactly
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: what was happening. And it just is amazing. The people
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: have no look on their face. There's no, like, there's no,
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: they're just walking coated. It looked to me like a
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: half inch of stuff just on every square centimeter of
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: their body.
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: Asbestos.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: Which this week confirmed was toxic. Yeah, yeah.
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: Exactly.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, 100%. Exactly. All right, 407-916-1041. Text us at 77031. Now,
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: we've got some news.
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well, we're going to continue the conversation with Governor
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: Ron DeSantis, remembering those killed 25 years ago.
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: Unfortunately, you guys, it's true.
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: A state agency is reporting a cybersecurity breach. And Brock's
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: ode to candy corn.
• 13:08
  Speaker 10: Ode?
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: Ode to candy corn.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: We'll talk about that and more coming up next during
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: JCS News.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: You got it. Let's take a little break. We'll come
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: back and get Deb's news and continue on with the
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: Jim Colbert Show.
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: I was living in New York City on September 11th.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: And I remember coming up from the subway and everybody
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: was looking downtown and people were sobbing. And I didn't
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: know what was going on.
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: And I looked down and I saw the plane and.
• 13:39
  Speaker 8: The building on fire.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: And I found out that my friend was on the
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: 105th floor World Trade 2.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: So we were in panic.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: All right, 407-916-1041. Text us at 77031. Welcome back. I'm Jim.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: Jack is here as well. And Deb has your news.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: Let's get it.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: It's time for JCS News.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Wow, has this guy got to put his name on everything?
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: It's in my contract, dude.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: Here's the news on the Jim Colbert Show.
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: And JCS News is brought to you by that mortgage guy, Don.
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: Give him a listen tomorrow morning when he's host of
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: the Home Loans Radio Show. Governor Ron DeSantis, speaking on
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: the 25th anniversary of the 9-11 terror attack, says to
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: him the memories of that day are still vivid. Speaking
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: in Clay County, the governor says it's important not only
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: to remember those killed in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: that day, but also the first responders and survivors who
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: became ill in the years since 2001.
• 14:44
  Speaker 11: Actually, more people have died to this day from 9-11.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: Related illnesses than were killed in because of the direct
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: actions of the terrorists.
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: Now, DeSantis issued a proclamation yesterday calling for flags to
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: fly at half-staff to mark the 25th anniversary. He says
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: our nation stands united in remembrance of the lives lost
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: on that day. In the meantime, a South Florida environmental
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: health researcher is still investigating the long-term dangers faced by
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: the World Trade Center responders. After 25 years, FIU researcher Dr.
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: Roberto Lucini says he's seeing more cancers, respiratory illnesses, and
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: mental health symptoms in responders who moved to Florida.
• 15:28
  Speaker 12: Rescue and recovery implies contact, physical and visual, with body parts,
• 15:34
  Speaker 12: and the whole context of anxiety and fear and negative
• 15:38
  Speaker 12: thinking that triggers mental health.
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: So he studied the MRIs of those responders who develop
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: PTSD and says the research has helped doctors care for
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: victims of more recent disasters like the Surfside condo collapse
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: and the Venezuelan and Colombian earthquakes. Governor DeSantis also took
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: time on this 25th anniversary to ask his cabinet to
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: pass an emergency rule to fight state level terrorism. Florida
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: Chief of Domestic Security Mark Glass presented the new rule
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: for a cabinet vote. There are imminent dangers to public health, safety,
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: and welfare due to increasing risk from foreign and domestic
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: terrorist groups. The measure passed and now dictates how the
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: state can impose terrorist labels on groups providing a formal
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: process with strict notice and appeal rights. All right, the
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: man who flew President Bush out of Tampa Bay on
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: 9-11 is sharing his story. Mark Tillman was the pilot
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: on Air Force One aircraft. The day Bush visited Emma E.
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: Booker Elementary School in Sarasota to just simply read to children, right?
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: Excuse me.
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: Once Bush got word of the terrorist attack in New
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: York City, he was taken to Sarasota Bradenton International Airport
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: where Tillman executed a steep takeoff just in case anyone
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: was targeting the plane.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: Wow, really?
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: Interesting.
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: And in the weeks that followed, he also flew Bush
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: around the country as the nation mourned those killed that day.
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: Tillman says we all came together and supported each other.
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: Do you remember how pissed off President Bush was at
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: the time?
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: I remember that whisper. I was like the most– I mean,
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: that look after that aide leaned in and said, Mr. President,
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: we're going to attack. And your card. Yeah, and then
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: he just– that face, man. He just went from being
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: like Mr. President at the– Reading to kids. At the
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: reading to kids to– I mean, it was.
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: No, what I was referring to was how pissed he
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: was at the pilots and his Secret Service because he's like,
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: take me back to Washington. And they were like, no, sir,
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry. Under no circumstances are we taking you back
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: to D.C. They kept him up in the air for
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: hours flying around the country. And the White House was targeted,
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: by the way.
• 17:36
  Speaker 13: Oh, yeah.
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: That was where the Pennsylvania thing was headed.
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: I didn't know they do a steep takeoff. Like, I
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: don't know how that works because I know when they
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: go into a war zone, that steep decline where I
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: think they like corkscrew down.
• 17:50
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: Because it's to be less of a target where they
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: come in.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: Oh, right.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: They kind of drop in and then will land instead
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: of that long glide in.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: They kind of– it's definitely more steep.
• 18:03
  Speaker 8: Right, right.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: But I wasn't– I'm kind of curious as how steep
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: can you go in a plane that size?
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: Exactly.
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: I think that those pilots have to be trained and
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: taught things that– The rest of us have simply no
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: idea what kind of skill set they have to have
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: in order to fly the president.
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: In other news of this day, you know, we had someone,
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: I believe, on the texting service had alerted us to this. Well,
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: it's taken a while, but it turns out that it
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: is true. Unfortunately, Florida officials say a data breach involving
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: the state's highway safety and motor vehicle department has been
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: traced to stolen vehicles. Login credentials belonging to a Plant
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: City Police Department employee.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: No one wants to be the person your IT department
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: can say, that's the one who caused it.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: You certainly don't, right? You don't want an email that
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: just says, did you click on this? And then a
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: screenshot of this, and you'll click it on again like
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: a moron. Your computer has been identified.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: Oh, no.
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: I'd like to set it on fire and leave. Exactly.
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: Those are the words you do not want to hear.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: I take it out of this cabinet, and I take
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: it right to the river. You guys know I throw
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: everything in the river.
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles says
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: an international cyber criminal group exploited credentials that had been
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: improperly stored on a personal device. State officials say the
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: breach was quickly contained and there is no evidence of
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: any ongoing unauthorized access. Investigators haven't released details on what
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: information may have been exposed and the incident remains under
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: criminal investigation.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: Nice.
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: Nice. All right.
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: Crews have begun dismantling the Amazon cargo plane that crashed
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: at Miami International Airport on Sunday. Cranes were seen lifting
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: sections of the damaged Boeing 777. 767 as workers prepared
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: to move the aircraft off the runway. The airport remains
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: one runway down while investigators continue examining the crash that
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: killed five people and injured five others after the plane
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: overran the runway and struck vehicles. I'm sure only having
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: one working runway, though, is not a problem for Miami International.
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah. No delays at all.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it'd be just like if it happened in Salt
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: Lake City.
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: Right, exactly.
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: Or Atlanta. Right.
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: However, the timing of the aircraft's removal hasn't yet been determined.
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: Closer to home, plans for a new synagogue are on
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: hold in Orange County. The Winter Park City Commission voted
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: Wednesday to table a final vote until next month on
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: plans to open the synagogue. Chabad of Greater Orlando wants
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: to build an 80-seat synagogue in downtown Winter Park on
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: East Moores Boulevard. Neighbors, though, have concerns about parking, noise
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: from a rooftop gathering space, and an elevated outdoor playground.
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: What did I hear? A whole bunch of Karens. A
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: whole bunch of Karens.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: They don't care who you are down there, buddy. No,
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: apparently not. They don't care who you're affiliated with. Oh,
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: you got a rooftop bar that's going to make some
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: noise past 430?
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: Right, exactly.
• 20:59
  Speaker 8: No.
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: A about official said yesterday, you know, they're willing to
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: work with the city, but they have extended themselves as
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: far as they reasonably can to make this work.
• 21:08
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: He also tells Orlando Sentinel this project holds deep significance
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: and it'll ensure Jewish residents enjoy the same religious freedoms
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: as other faith communities.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: By the way, they have a deal. That parking in
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: that Winter Park area is like parking in Mount Dora.
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: You might as well just like it's playing the lottery.
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: You go down there, you may get a spot immediately
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: or you may circle the city for a month.
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: You have better luck at the lottery.
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: I'll go on the limb there.
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: All right, the 2026 hurricane season has officially broken the
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: modern record for the longest stretch without a hurricane, stretching
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: past September 11th with empty maps. Meteorologists credit a super
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: El Nino and a massive rare plume of Saharan dust
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: this time of the year for choking out potential storm development.
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: But they do warn to be ready for whatever the
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: last half of the season brings. I mean, we don't
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: end until November 30th, and it only takes one.
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah.
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: All right, this is also concerning. Florida health officials are
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: reporting a sharp, and I do mean sharp, increase in
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: locally acquired dengue fever cases across the state. The Florida
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: Department of Health says 38 new cases were confirmed during
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: the week ending September 5th, so last week, bringing the
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: statewide total to 111 this year. Now, just yesterday, we
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: talked about how Hillsborough County has the most in the
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: state with 59 cases.
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: They're up to 95.
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: Damn, really? Yeah, they're dirty. Hey, let me ask you
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: a question. I'm going to ask a dumb question. So
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: it's contagious. Like from person to person, once.
• 22:41
  Speaker 9: You get it.
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: That part I do not know, actually.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: It would have to be, right? If that many people
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: are contracting, it has to be.
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: Well, I would imagine, but I mean, it's the mosquito bite.
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: You just, you know.
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: Pinellas, Pasco, Miami-Dade, Orange, and Palm Beach counties have also
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: reported infections. Health officials are urging residents to avoid mosquito
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: bites as several Florida counties remain under mosquito-borne illness alerts
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: or advisories. Because, of course, they're also keeping an eye
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: out for eastern equine encephalitis. West Nile virus, dengue fever.
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: It says dengue is not directly contagious from person to
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: person through air, touch, or everyday contact. I don't know.
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: I don't believe it.
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: And that's not good because that means that all 95
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: infections in Hillsborough County came from infected mosquitoes.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: Yes, that's exactly the case. By the way, they say
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: the black and white legs. Yeah. This mosquito that's carrying
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: this thing. It's the most common. It looks like no
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: other mosquito I've seen.
• 23:35
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: It looks crazy. I mean, it does.
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: It looks very Beetlejuice, doesn't it?
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: Oh, it looks very Beetlejuice. And it's not just the legs.
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: The black and white goes kind of up into the
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: body of it as well.
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: Like little circles around its thorax or whatever?
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: Exactly. Very easy to spot.
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: Which is good. And I remember somebody left us a
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: talk back saying, don't wear black.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't know.
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: I don't know if that's true. I know love bugs
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: are attracted to white.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: I thought mosquitoes were attracted to like yellow to other.
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: I thought it was red like bulls.
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: Oh, there you go. Or blood.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: Oh, you like that? You like that? All right.
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: A Florida killer is dead, executed Thursday by lethal injection.
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: Daniel Conahan Jr., known as the Hog Trail Killer, was
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: convicted in the 1996 killing of Richard Montgomery, a man
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: whose body was found in a wooded area near Punta Gorda.
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: He had no last words as 11 of Montgomery's family
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: members watched Conahan be put to death.
• 24:32
  Speaker 10: 11.
• 24:32
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: That's damn near the entire gallery.
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: I was going to say that's got to be stacked out.
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: I think there's only like 15 or 20 in the
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: entire room. I think so.
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: By the way, real quick before you continue.
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: No.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: Why do you think black is chosen not to– why
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: do you think that's a bad color? By the way,
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: it's true.
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: It is true.
• 24:48
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: Why do you think it's bad?
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: For mosquitoes?
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: Yep. Because it looks like something else they'd be attracted to.
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: Dark spaces.
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: Dark water?
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: They see with like heat.
• 25:00
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: So the black holds heat.
• 25:03
  Speaker 10: Oh.
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: So your black clothing will hold more heat and it
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: makes it more attractive to the mosquito because they're looking
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: for heat. The skin, the human skin signature is what
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: they say.
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: All right. Back to the. No, no, no, not at all.
• 25:18
  Speaker 8: Not at all.
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: Conahan was also suspected but never charged in the deaths
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: of at least five other men in the mid 1990s.
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: The execution was Florida's 15th so far this year.
• 25:30
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: All right, on to the story that you guys are
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: the most concerned about, and that's going to be some football.
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will unveil their new look offense
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: when they open the season Sunday against the Bengals in Cincinnati.
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: The game marks the regular season debut of offensive coordinator
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: Zach Robinson, the fifth coach to hold the position in
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: the past five seasons. Players say they're eager to showcase
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: the system they've been learning through the offseason and believe
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: Robinson will take advantage of the Offense is versatility. Tampa
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: Bay enters the opener as a slight underdog, but Jack's
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: got their back.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: I do.
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: But the Bucs are focused on starting the season with
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: a road win. In the meantime, the Miami Dolphins kick
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: off their season on the road Sunday afternoon in Las
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: Vegas facing Jack Bradshaw's the Raiders. Veteran defensive lineman Zach
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: Seeler says it's a special time with a freshman coach,
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: new quarterback, and a lot of young players.
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: All these guys bring to the table is incredible. So
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: to be able to go out there and probably showcase
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: that is very exciting. But, you know, it's week one, right?
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: It's exciting across the league.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the Finns.
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: I knew it.
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: I was waiting. I would have been so disappointed if
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: we didn't hear that. The Finns have won nine of
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: their last 11 matchups with the Raiders, including their last
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: meeting in 2024. They next face the 49ers in San
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: Francisco before their September 27th home opener against the Kansas
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: City Chiefs. Elsewhere in the state, the Jacksonville Jaguars opened
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: their season Sunday, hosting the Browns, while the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: we just mentioned, are in Cincinnati facing the Bengals. Both
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: have 1 p.m.
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: Kickoffs.
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: What time are you cracking the beer?
• 27:10
  Speaker 10: 12.59?
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: 8.30 that morning. Let me tell you something. The Rams
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: looked terrible last night. San Francisco absolutely stomped that ass.
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: I guess the case is made on a game that's
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: in a different time zone by going early definitely outweighs
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: going in at the last minute. Oh, man, he's eating it.
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: I mean, he is eating it today over that decision, man.
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: Who is? McVay. The coach. Yeah, the 49ers went out
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: a week early. The Rams waited until like the day before.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: To fly to Australia, which is like, what, 16 hours
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: in the air or something? Oh, more than that. Yeah, yeah,
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: whatever it is. So they land. And then it's game time.
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: At 10 o'clock in the morning, their time. Because, I mean,
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: we're watching the game last night, and it's got that
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: weird early morning sheen to everything. It looked so weird, dude.
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: It looked fake. It did look fake. It looked like
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: movie sunlight. It was wild. Because you're used to the
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: games being in direct sunlight in the middle of the day,
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: 1 o'clock, or in the evening.
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: Right, yeah.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: Or even the casting the shadows of the afternoons for
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: the afternoon games. This thing was like this weird, bright,
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: long shadow. It was the weirdest sunlight. Yeah, I can't
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: watch Jonas Brothers halftime show. Oh, get out of here.
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: Well, I put it on for a little bit before
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: Chris got home, and then I just got pissed off
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: because I was like, this is so wrong.
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: That the only way you can watch America's Pastime, the
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: only way you can do it now is you have
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: to have Netflix or you've got to have YouTube.
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: That's right. That is such crap.
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: It is crap.
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: You're 100% right.
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: It should have been kept on broadcast TV where you
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: can watch football for free.
• 28:43
  Speaker 13: Why?
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: Because that's the American way.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: It is the American way.
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: It is the American way.
• 28:47
  Speaker 8: Yes, it is.
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: It is the American way. It has been for years
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: until the stupid internet came along. It's the opposite of
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: the American way.
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: The American way is Yeah, he does have a point.
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: Listen, Jack, they have plenty of money made on network television,
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: my friend. Four channels to choose from. Does Lefty Jim
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: want to put a cap on how much a company
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: can make? I just want it free, Jack.
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: All right, don't be a lib.
• 29:12
  Speaker 11: All right.
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: I know you guys.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: It is kind of weird going, okay, I guess this
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: is on Netflix. I hate that.
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: I just hate that.
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: This is on network TV. I do more searching for
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: where it's going to be than I do who's going
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: to win the game. I brought up the main channels
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: and I didn't say it. I'm like, Alexa, where's the game?
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: I did the same thing.
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: I went to all the local channels and then I
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: just got mad because I think of all those people
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: who live out in rural America.
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: They don't have the best internet.
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: Sure.
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: And they're being kept away from being able to watch
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: a Thursday night game. I really think that sucks.
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: How about that Mike Evans? I'm sure the Bucs won't
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: miss him.
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: Oh, my God, dude. Get out of here. And by
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: the way, the play calling for that team is beyond good.
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: Beyond good.
• 29:50
  Speaker 15: All right.
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: Something else you guys like to do.
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: Maybe we wrote them off a little too early.
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: Is cruising.
• 29:54
  Speaker 8: Oh, yeah.
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: So a major cruise milestone for South Florida tourism. Royal
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: Caribbean's next massive icon class vessel, Hero of the Seas,
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: has officially touched water for the first time. Shipbuilders in
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: Finland flooded a dry dock with this many gallons of
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: water to float the behemoth. which is slated for its
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: official Miami debut in August of 2027. Gentlemen, how many
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: gallons of water did Finnish officials flood a dry dock?
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: 50,000.
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: Oh, you're so cute.
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: 50,000 is like four pools. I'll go 10 million.
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: Okay, you want to amend your guess there, Jack?
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, 50 million.
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: 90 million gallons of water.
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: Jack's had enough to fill up, let's say, a high
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: school swimming pool. They're going to float a boat that
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: you can put a city on. I thought she meant
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: the pool on the Lido deck of.
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: The New York. There you go, there you go.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: What's amazing about this, and specifically with Royal Caribbean, how
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: many of these ships were they building simultaneously over the
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: past 10 years? Because how many times have we sent
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: the new biggest ship ever or whatever?
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: It seems like every year.
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: They're already building this one's replacement. Dude, it takes like
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: eight years to build these things. I mean, it's ridiculous
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: how big they are.
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: That would be a cool wedge to do that's new,
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: how to build cruise ships.
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: All that money and all that time just so you
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: can have an eight-year-old wipe their booger on a handrail.
• 31:21
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: Day one. Day one. Guest one. And you get norovirus.
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: Boogers everywhere. Oh, yeah.
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: And you end up going in your stateroom for a week.
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: The first time that thing sounds like a bad news
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: for you, dude. It's where I'll be on Christmas. Well, yay.
• 31:37
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: It's sweet.
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: It's buttery.
• 31:40
  Speaker 5: And as far as Brox is concerned, it's what we
• 31:42
  Speaker 5: all should be wearing this fall.
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: Oh, no.
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: Gentlemen.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: These people.
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: The company that brings us candy corn this time every
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: single year is now out with a perfume that smells
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: just like it.
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: Oh, my God.
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: Brock's Ode to Candy Corn is described as a blend
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: of creamy vanilla, spun sugar, and honey.
• 32:04
  Speaker 8: Wow.
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: It goes on sale the first day of fall, September 22nd.
• 32:07
  Speaker 10: Mmm.
• 32:08
  Speaker 5: Are you guys fans of candy corn?
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: I am not.
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: I am not either.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: I like them better than circus peanuts. Yeah, same here. 100%
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: or Necco wafers.
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: Oh, God.
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: Is that the worst candy ever?
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: I think so. Necco wafer is the worst candy. Is
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: it even candy?
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: Communion wafers are better than Necco wafers.
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: Necco wafers remind me of communion wafers.
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: I thought candy was supposed to have some sugar in it.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: Necco Wafers is like you took sidewalk chalk and just
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: cut it into sections.
• 32:35
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: That's exactly what it's like. Same company that gives us sweethearts.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: I know. And old people apparently love Necco Wafers.
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: Do they really?
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: Well, I guess because they were raised on them.
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I'm still in my Werther's phase. I'm going to
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: head toward Nick. Don't sleep on Werther's.
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: No, Werther's is a good time. And now you can
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: add a little Brock's ode to candy corn. And that
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: concludes your JCS News.
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: Nearly! Be mine. What were the other ones? Be mine.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: Too cool.
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: Say yes.
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: Say yes. Oh, God, that's kind of... And then they
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: had more modern day ones, like email me. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: Text me. Hashtag.

  Speaker 3: and loud for Mr. Fayez Kara. Yay! What is up, buddy?
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: How you doing?
• 34:29
  Speaker 10: Good.
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: I am doing good.
• 34:31
  Speaker 11: Unfortunately, I have some, uh, audio issues with the, uh,
• 34:35
  Speaker 11: with the, with the mic. So I'm having to speak
• 34:38
  Speaker 11: on my phone. So if you can hear me, okay.
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we can hear you just fine, buddy. How's things?
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: Your voice has never sounded so lovely and, uh, resonant.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: You don't believe.
• 34:48
  Speaker 14: Thank you.
• 34:49
  Speaker 11: Thank you.
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: Thank you very much. Is the, uh, restaurant critic for
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: the Orlando weekly calls us on Fridays. Tell us what's
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: good to eat here in Orlando. What you got for us, buddy.
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: What's up?
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: Well, there's been a lot.
• 35:01
  Speaker 11: I mean, we didn't have a show last week, so
• 35:03
  Speaker 11: there's been a lot to cover. So the first piece
• 35:06
  Speaker 11: of news I have is Terci Italian Deli, which is
• 35:09
  Speaker 11: coming to College Park. And at this point, I'm thinking,
• 35:12
  Speaker 11: you know, we may as well just rename College Park
• 35:15
  Speaker 11: Little Italy, because there are just... I mean, the number
• 35:19
  Speaker 11: of pizzerias and pasta houses and Italian joints there. So anyway,
• 35:23
  Speaker 11: Terci Italian Deli, it's from the same people who run
• 35:26
  Speaker 11: Terci Pasta. They're on Edgewater Drive. And Terci Panino, which
• 35:30
  Speaker 11: sits right next door to Terci Pasta. So what they're
• 35:33
  Speaker 11: doing is they're moving their Terci Panino concept up the
• 35:37
  Speaker 11: street across from Gabriel's Subs and into the old Dunkin'
• 35:42
  Speaker 11: Donuts spot. And they're going to rename it Terci Italian Deli.
• 35:45
  Speaker 11: So they'll serve their panini there. But in addition to that,
• 35:48
  Speaker 11: it's going to be a full-blown Italian deli. They'll have
• 35:51
  Speaker 11: the meats and the cheeses. They're going to have their
• 35:54
  Speaker 11: own house-made pastas and sauces.
• 35:56
  Speaker 7: They'll have.
• 35:58
  Speaker 11: They'll have like authentic Italian coffee and gelato. And they're
• 36:03
  Speaker 11: going to take advantage of the drive-thru space there that Dunkin'
• 36:06
  Speaker 11: Donuts has. So you can pull up, get yourself a
• 36:09
  Speaker 11: panini sandwich, some gelato. And you know what? The fact
• 36:12
  Speaker 11: that it's across the street from Gabriel's Subs, I'm envisioning
• 36:16
  Speaker 11: some sandwich wars happening when the deli opens early next year.
• 36:20
  Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: And Gabriel's has been there since the 50s, I believe.
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: I've been there for a very long time. I actually
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: worked for his brother. I think Paul Gabriel owns that
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: particular location. I worked for his brother, Jerry, when I
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: first moved to Orlando at the location of Pine Hills.
• 36:33
  Speaker 8: Wow.
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: At one time, I think there was like damn near
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: 20 of those things around Central Florida, but I believe
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: that the one on Edgewater is the lone standing Gabriel's
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: that's left. You really are old. Shut up. I'll never
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: share with you again.
• 36:46
  Speaker 11: Please don't.
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: By the way, it's like a Tercey takeover down there, huh?
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: These guys are really spreading out.
• 36:52
  Speaker 5: Who's that?
• 36:53
  Speaker 11: Terci?
• 36:53
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 36:54
  Speaker 11: I don't know. Is it Turkey? Terci? I thought it
• 36:56
  Speaker 11: was Terci, but yeah. You know, they have the place
• 36:59
  Speaker 11: out in Warner Park, Luca Terci, which I reviewed favorably
• 37:02
  Speaker 11: a few months back. I actually think it was last year.
• 37:05
  Speaker 11: And then they're opening up Luca Osteria in the Maitland
• 37:09
  Speaker 11: City Center. It's where Medici used to be. And I
• 37:11
  Speaker 11: think they're hoping that'll be open. I think he's hoping
• 37:14
  Speaker 11: to open it before the end of the year or so. Yeah,
• 37:17
  Speaker 11: they're rapidly expanding. They're like a local... Husband and wife team, so,
• 37:21
  Speaker 11: you know, good on them.
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, good for them for sure. Let's move on to
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: Libra Restaurant. This used to be the restaurant at the Granbo, right?
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 37:29
  Speaker 11: So the Granbo Hemi in downtown has a new name.
• 37:33
  Speaker 11: It's now Hotel America. Did Trump name it?
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: He's being a dick.
• 37:41
  Speaker 11: It's a matter of time. It's actually Hotel Bodan, B-E-A-U-D-E-N.
• 37:49
  Speaker 11: And the restaurant there, Bohème, as you mentioned, and the
• 37:53
  Speaker 11: Bosendorfer Lounge that was there, the one with the really
• 37:55
  Speaker 11: nice piano. Yeah, so that is now known as Libra, L-I-B-R-A.
• 38:01
  Speaker 11: So the Euro-French cuisine that the Bohème used to serve
• 38:08
  Speaker 11: is now given away to a menu confluence of Hispanic
• 38:12
  Speaker 11: and Floridian and Asian influences. When I did my little write-up,
• 38:17
  Speaker 11: I said, au revoir, lamb, loin, noisette, and konnichiwa, miso
• 38:22
  Speaker 11: rib eye. Yeah, but in fact, that Bosendorfer Lounge, so
• 38:27
  Speaker 11: the piano that was there, they've actually struck a deal
• 38:30
  Speaker 11: with Steinway, with the Steinway... society of central florida i
• 38:35
  Speaker 11: think so that that old bosendorfer piano is going to
• 38:38
  Speaker 11: be out and in will be a spineway come this fall.
• 38:42
  Speaker 5: Wow because we were like one of like two locations
• 38:45
  Speaker 5: in the world that had one of the uh the
• 38:48
  Speaker 5: first piano that you mentioned bosendorfer.
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah i heard the thing was a hoot to get
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: up there by the way yeah.
• 38:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah yeah.
• 38:57
  Speaker 11: Yeah, so, I mean, it's a concept change. They've been
• 39:01
  Speaker 11: around for 25 years, so I figure, I'm assuming they
• 39:04
  Speaker 11: just wanted something fresh, a refresh of sorts. So, yeah,
• 39:09
  Speaker 11: so the Bosendorfer Lounge will now be Libra Bar, and
• 39:13
  Speaker 11: the Bohem is now Libra. In fact, they're open.
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: Very nice. Let's move on to Reeves Sports Bar. Soft
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: opening is this weekend. I've not heard of Reeves Sports
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: Bar yet.
• 39:23
  Speaker 8: No.
• 39:24
  Speaker 11: Yeah, we actually talked briefly about it a couple of
• 39:26
  Speaker 11: weeks ago because it was breaking, breaking news. But now
• 39:29
  Speaker 11: we have some more.
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: Detail.
• 39:30
  Speaker 11: So this is by Thriving Hospitality, the same folks who
• 39:33
  Speaker 11: have Lamp and Shade Craft Kitchen there in Mills 50.
• 39:35
  Speaker 11: They have the Packwoods Bar and Maitland Social. They're going
• 39:37
  Speaker 11: to have a new restaurant called Terra Modern. They're going
• 39:39
  Speaker 11: to have a new restaurant called Terra Modern. Anyway, so
• 39:42
  Speaker 11: Reeves Sports Bar is open right in what I call
• 39:46
  Speaker 11: that corner of crapulence. You know, it's really been a
• 39:48
  Speaker 11: bastion for the inebriated there at the corner of like
• 39:51
  Speaker 11: Central Boulevard and Magnolia. And this will bring a sort
• 39:54
  Speaker 11: of like a different kind of vibe to that, you know,
• 39:56
  Speaker 11: to that to that part of the neighborhood downtown. Uh,
• 39:59
  Speaker 11: it's going to be a little more sophisticated. They're going
• 40:01
  Speaker 11: to have like craft cocktails, the menu, it'll be like
• 40:04
  Speaker 11: bar classics, but with, you know, Sheffy spins, chef Ryan Stewart,
• 40:07
  Speaker 11: he's really a good chef. Uh, if you've been to
• 40:09
  Speaker 11: lamp and shade, you know who I'm talking about. Um,
• 40:13
  Speaker 11: and one of the things he's serving on the menu
• 40:15
  Speaker 11: there are, um, pressed burgers. So we've got burgers that
• 40:19
  Speaker 11: he's putting in a panini press to get those really
• 40:22
  Speaker 11: nice crispy edges. So that's something I'm really looking forward
• 40:25
  Speaker 11: to looking forward to trying, but, uh, He was telling
• 40:28
  Speaker 11: me that the menu is going to be infused with
• 40:30
  Speaker 11: a little nostalgia, so he's going to have things like
• 40:32
  Speaker 11: beef stroganoff. He's going to have fun with it, too,
• 40:36
  Speaker 11: so Philly cheesesteak egg rolls, for example. It's going to
• 40:42
  Speaker 11: be a scratch kitchen. Even the pastries, there's going to
• 40:45
  Speaker 11: be fresh-made pies and ice cream. And it's going where
• 40:50
  Speaker 11: the old Swigs bar was, right there at the corner
• 40:53
  Speaker 11: of Magnolia and Central.
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: Is a Press Burger the exact same thing as a
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: Smash Burger, or does the Panini Press do something different?
• 41:02
  Speaker 11: I think the panini press will smash it even more.
• 41:04
  Speaker 11: So the panini press, I think, is also intended to
• 41:07
  Speaker 11: smash the bread a bit.
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 41:09
  Speaker 11: It'll be kind of like a Cuban. Yeah, yeah. But,
• 41:11
  Speaker 11: you know, you put all that stuff in there, and
• 41:13
  Speaker 11: then you put it into a panini press, and it'll
• 41:15
  Speaker 11: crisp those edges.
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: That sounds great, actually. Yeah, that sounds absolutely wonderful. I'll
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: try that. It's Reeve's Sports Bar downtown. Tell me about Divino.
• 41:25
  Speaker 8: Oh, yeah.
• 41:25
  Speaker 11: So let me mention really quick. They are planning to
• 41:28
  Speaker 11: stop open tonight, but it'll be the bar only. And
• 41:32
  Speaker 11: so look for them this weekend.
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: Divino.
• 41:34
  Speaker 11: So Divino, I was just speaking about the Maitland Social
• 41:37
  Speaker 11: right on the corner of Horatio and 1792. Pizza Bruno
• 41:41
  Speaker 11: closed there a few weeks back, and Divino opens tonight.
• 41:44
  Speaker 11: We talked about them a few weeks ago as well.
• 41:46
  Speaker 11: So Divino is from the same people who run Grappolo
• 41:50
  Speaker 11: Cucina Italiana on Park Avenue. It'll be a pizza place.
• 41:54
  Speaker 11: They're keeping that same oven that, you know, that Pizza
• 41:57
  Speaker 11: Bruno had. And they're doing, like, Neapolitan-style pizzas. They're also
• 42:01
  Speaker 11: going to have items that they serve on Guadalupe's menu
• 42:05
  Speaker 11: in Winter Park. So it'll be like a proper restaurant
• 42:09
  Speaker 11: as opposed to a pizzeria that, you know, that Pizza
• 42:11
  Speaker 11: Bruno was. And they're opening tonight. So if you want
• 42:14
  Speaker 11: to get in on the hottest, newest kind of thing,
• 42:16
  Speaker 11: head over to Maitland Social and give Divino Pizza and
• 42:19
  Speaker 11: Wine a try.
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: Hey, man, let me give you a heads-up real quick.
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: So explain Neapolitan pizza, because I think when we talk
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: about that, that not everybody kind of understands what a
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: Neapolitan pizza is. They hear different styles of pizza. They
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: know deep dish. They know Chicago. They know all of
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: those pizzas. Explain a Neapolitan pizza, please.
• 42:37
  Speaker 11: So a Neapolitan pie, it uses a very specific type
• 42:40
  Speaker 11: of flour. It's usually a tipo 00 flour, which essentially
• 42:43
  Speaker 11: means it's a very fine flour. It takes a very
• 42:46
  Speaker 11: skilled hand to sort of stretch this dough out. And typically,
• 42:50
  Speaker 11: it's fermented anywhere from like 48 to 72 hours. So
• 42:53
  Speaker 11: that dough, like I said, it really requires what they
• 42:56
  Speaker 11: call a pizzaolo, like a pizza specialist to work that dough.
• 43:01
  Speaker 11: And when they do, the crust is very airy. When
• 43:04
  Speaker 11: it's blistered in the oven at like 700 degrees Fahrenheit...
• 43:09
  Speaker 11: That dough gets very airy and very bubbled, and it's
• 43:14
  Speaker 11: very easy on the stomach as well. People say that,
• 43:17
  Speaker 11: you know, I've done it myself. I've eaten a whole
• 43:19
  Speaker 11: pie by myself. Now, if I were to eat a
• 43:21
  Speaker 11: whole New York-style pie, I'd probably be in the hospital.
• 43:23
  Speaker 11: I'd be like puking in the bathroom. But with the
• 43:26
  Speaker 11: Neapolitan pie, because of that flour and because of its
• 43:29
  Speaker 11: lightness and its airiness, it provides like a different sort
• 43:33
  Speaker 11: of textural experience when you're eating pizza.
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 43:37
  Speaker 11: A lot of times people will eat it with a
• 43:39
  Speaker 11: knife and fork, which Americans aren't really used to. But, yeah,
• 43:43
  Speaker 11: so Neapolitan is one of the different styles of pizza,
• 43:46
  Speaker 11: which essentially is what? Bread with cheese and sauce on it. Yeah, yeah.
• 43:51
  Speaker 10: 100%.
• 43:51
  Speaker 11: Like every culture does.
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: It's easy to say that, but not every bread, cheese,
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: and sauce has the same effect. Neapolitan is my favorite
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: way to eat pizza. I love the crispness of the crust,
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: a little bit thinner, with the nice big bubbly charred
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: edges to dip in the marinara sauce when it's all
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: said and done. By the way, Jack hates it when
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: they bubble and blister. He calls it burnt. Can you
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: explain to his five-year-old taste buds that that's not burnt,
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: that's adding flavor?
• 44:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: Could you explain that? Charring is burnt.
• 44:19
  Speaker 5: Get it.
• 44:20
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, it's called leoparding as well. You know,
• 44:22
  Speaker 11: you get the leopard spotting on the bottom of that crust.
• 44:25
  Speaker 11: And honestly, Jack, if you take a look at some
• 44:27
  Speaker 11: of the New York-style pies, and if you ever, like,
• 44:29
  Speaker 11: take a look at the bottom, you'll probably notice that
• 44:31
  Speaker 11: there's some charring down there as well. It's never, like,
• 44:34
  Speaker 11: clean or white or, you know, there's some charring there.
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: Brown is cooked, black is burnt, and charring is burnt.
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: I would.
• 44:43
  Speaker 11: Burnt provides a little flavor.
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: No, he doesn't look at it like that. This guy
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: discovered salt two years ago. See, he and I are
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: on common ground. Burnt provides flavor, but it's burnt. Legit,
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: his favorite food is PBJ, buddy. He's not lying. Save
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: your breath. He's not lying.
• 44:55
  Speaker 11: I like a good PBJ, too.
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: As long as it's burnt. No, no, no. You mean leoparded. Well,
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: toasted PBJ, let's go.
• 45:05
  Speaker 4: All right, buddy.

• 46:40
  Speaker 8: Jackson Memorial Hospital, Miami, Florida?
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: I did.
• 46:44
  Speaker 10: I did.
• 46:47
  Speaker 16: Sorry, Jimmy, but Debbie Harry is a close second to
• 46:51
  Speaker 16: Stevie Nicks.
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: Oh, get out of here. Although Debbie Harry did do Playboy.
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: Get out of here. Stevie Nicks, not even close. I mean,
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: I love Stevie Nicks, but good God.
• 47:02
  Speaker 8: Hey, guys. Happy day.
• 47:04
  Speaker 9: Hey.
• 47:05
  Speaker 11: Just popped in to top off the old diesel truck.
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: Even with the 55 cents a gallon off.
• 47:10
  Speaker 17: Or off 55 cents a gallon, however you say that,
• 47:14
  Speaker 17: still cost me.
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: $ 131 to put 22 gallons of diesel in the truck.
• 47:17
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 47:17
  Speaker 9: Oof.
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: Are we winning yet? We've won.
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: Sir, you won.
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: Oh, good. Yeah. You got nothing else to do in
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: your life. You've won. Yeah, except vote the right way
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: and you'll get five grand.
• 47:31
  Speaker 4: Damn, man. Yeah, sure.
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: Man, I don't know if you saw any of the
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: notes from that thing last night. Cry me. I have not.
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: God almighty. I watched half a football game and went
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: to bed. We try to keep politics out of this because, but,
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: you know, this would be either party. If I saw
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: something like this with either party, Trump made the entire
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: crowd take a pledge to him. I pledge allegiance to
• 47:53
  Speaker 3: your favorite president ever, me. And then at the end
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: of it said, I don't care what you do. Go
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: out and vote. Even if you have to cheat, don't
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: even if you're not registered. also said, if you didn't vote,
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: you're going to hell. If you didn't vote for Republicans,
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: you're going to hell. I mean, I've never seen me.
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: I've never even heard anything like this. Like I can't
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: imagine any other human being in politics at any level
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: saying something like that and not literally being canceled immediately.
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: I've never seen or heard anything like it. That was, I,
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: it was just, I can't even, he's still recovering. He
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: remember 25 years ago, he was pulled from the rubble. Yeah,
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: he's fine. All right, 407-916-1041. Text us, 77031. I'm Jim.
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: There's Deb. Hello. Jack is here as well.
• 48:38
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: I have a bit of a dilemma at home, and
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: I need some help.
• 48:41
  Speaker 4: Uh-oh.
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: Just apologize. I'm not. It has nothing to do with me.
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: Bring flowers. Finally, Jack. It has nothing to do with me.
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: All right, here's what happened. So last night, I am
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: in the kitchen, and I am having my dinner. My
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: wife ate early. She got home a little bit earlier.
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: And she comes into the kitchen. And she goes, she goes,
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: she comes over and she has her hand closed and
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: she sits it on the counter right beside me and
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: just looks at me and says, you're not going to
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: believe this. And I go, what? And she opens up
• 49:12
  Speaker 3: her hand and moves it out of the way. My
• 49:15
  Speaker 3: dog ate my daughter's iPod things, AirPods. AirPods. My dog
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: ate one of them.
• 49:23
  Speaker 13: Right?
• 49:24
  Speaker 3: So we couldn't believe it because she doesn't really ever
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: do that. We had a dog before that ate a
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: pair of shoes of my wife's that I just bought
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: her for a special occasion. You know Jimmy Choo?
• 49:33
  Speaker 4: Oh, those are cheap. Don't worry about it.
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they were $ 275 for this pair of shoes. She
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: never wore them.
• 49:40
  Speaker 17: Oh.
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: And our miniature dachshund ate them completely up because of
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: the wooden heels. The dog could sink her teeth into them,
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: so she loved it. It was like one of those
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: poly bones. Right, yeah. Could not get enough of it.
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: Never wore them. Never wore the shoes. They were destroyed.
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: We had to throw them out. Never wore them.
• 49:58
  Speaker 8: Oh.
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: Now, the AirPods, the highest level AirPods are what, Jack?
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: $ 350 or something now?
• 50:02
  Speaker 8: About.
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: That, yeah.
• 50:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, $ 350.
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 50:06
  Speaker 5: But once you clean the poop out, it should be okay.
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: No, no, no.
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: She didn't eat it. She just chewed it up and
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: then spit it out. So it's broken. She just bit
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: it because my wife heard her gnawing on it, right?
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: And so we called my daughter and said, hey, look,
• 50:25
  Speaker 3: we busted up– Sadie ate your iPod.
• 50:28
  Speaker 8: What's it?
• 50:28
  Speaker 10: AirPod.
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: AirPod. and we'll take care of it or whatever. So
• 50:32
  Speaker 3: she comes up, she looks at it, and she calls
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: her boyfriend and said, hey, did you leave your AirPod
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: up here? And he kind of thought for a minute,
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: and he goes, yeah, I did. I left it up
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: there when I was sitting on the floor watching something
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: on TV or whatever. So I told her I would
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: pay for it already because it was our dog that
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: ruined it. but he left it on the floor for
• 50:51
  Speaker 3: the dog to get. And of course, if it's got
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: ear gunk on it, the dog is going to smell that.
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: He didn't leave it on the floor for the dog
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: to get. He left it on the floor and the
• 50:59
  Speaker 3: dog got it. Whose responsibility is it?
• 51:01
  Speaker 4: Oh, you're trying to back out now.
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: You know what? When it's your daughter. I'm asking a question.
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: I'm asking a simple question.
• 51:10
  Speaker 4: Oh, there ain't nothing simple. It is simple. You'd already
• 51:13
  Speaker 4: offered to pay. No, but, Before I had all the facts.
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: This wouldn't work in a court of law. There's no
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: backing up, Jack.
• 51:22
  Speaker 4: Oh, you're a dancing queen right now.
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: Look at all that toothpaste. Where do you want to
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: put it? Back in the tube?
• 51:26
  Speaker 8: No.
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: There is no putting the toothpaste back in the tube.
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: I have more information now. Well.
• 51:30
  Speaker 5: It's too late. You'd already made your offer.
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: There is no too late.
• 51:34
  Speaker 5: Okay, so do you want to sacrifice your relationship with
• 51:37
  Speaker 5: your daughter's boyfriend? Because now you're going to go back
• 51:40
  Speaker 5: and say, well.
• 51:40
  Speaker 4: I.
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: Don't care about him as long as she likes me. Well,
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: she's not if he doesn't. Whose responsibility is it? Is
• 51:49
  Speaker 3: it my dog's? Okay, so let me ask you a question.
• 51:52
  Speaker 5: No, it's his responsibility. Those are his things.
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: He leaves his shoes in there, takes his shoes off
• 51:57
  Speaker 3: as he comes in the house. We try not to
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: walk around the house with shoes on. He leaves them
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: in there. My dog chooses shoes up. Am I responsible
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: for that, or is he?
• 52:05
  Speaker 6: You.
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: Why am I responsible for it? Because you made him
• 52:08
  Speaker 3: take your household rule is to take your shoes off.
• 52:11
  Speaker 4: You're saying it's just.
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: Because he doesn't live there? Because it's my house. Because
• 52:15
  Speaker 3: it's my house, he does live there. Is it because
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: it's my house?
• 52:18
  Speaker 4: I just said that to rile you up.
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: Well, I feel bad too, man, because I mean, they're
• 52:24
  Speaker 3: expensive and my dog chewed it, but I don't, I
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: didn't leave it out. They just had the Apple announcement.
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: You can get them the latest one. It'll be an upgrade.
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: Same price.
• 52:33
  Speaker 9: Oh yeah.
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: Same exact price. Or you can save a little money
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: and get them replaced the ones he had because they'll
• 52:39
  Speaker 3: actually be a little cheaper now that the new ones
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: just came out. When my daughter called him and told him, Hey, look,
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: did you leave your air pot up here? He goes, yeah.
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: And she said, Sadie ate it. And not ate it,
• 52:50
  Speaker 3: but broke it, chewed on it, and broke it. He didn't.
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: He kind of thought it was his fault. But I
• 52:56
  Speaker 3: did already tell my daughter that I would pay for it. Sure,
• 52:59
  Speaker 3: there's a level of irresponsibility. You can just buy one, right?
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: You cannot.
• 53:02
  Speaker 4: No, they come as a pair.
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: But I only need one.
• 53:06
  Speaker 5: You think Apple is going to split that up? The
• 53:08
  Speaker 5: only apples you can split up at the store are Publix.
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you buy him a pair, and then you take
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: the one, and then you have one AirPod. That's about
• 53:17
  Speaker 3: what you can afford, one AirPod.
• 53:19
  Speaker 4: Oh, I feel that. You feel that.
• 53:23
  Speaker 5: You probably should have kept your mouth shut before making
• 53:25
  Speaker 5: a deal until you had all the information.
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: I didn't want her to be mad at me. Immediately
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: when I found out it was my dog that chewed
• 53:32
  Speaker 3: the thing up, I felt responsible for it. I didn't
• 53:35
  Speaker 3: leave the thing out. Like if I went to somebody's
• 53:37
  Speaker 3: house and I left my phone out and the dog
• 53:40
  Speaker 3: ate the phone, I would be like, well, it's not
• 53:43
  Speaker 3: my fault. I'll give you another example. My wife goes
• 53:45
  Speaker 3: over to Code Black. This is years ago. We go
• 53:47
  Speaker 3: over for a party and my wife, Code Black, pushed
• 53:50
  Speaker 3: my wife in the pool. Yep. With her phone in
• 53:53
  Speaker 3: her back pocket. Oh. He owes her a phone.
• 53:57
  Speaker 10: Oh, wow.
• 53:57
  Speaker 7: Correct.
• 53:58
  Speaker 13: Correct.
• 53:59
  Speaker 3: Okay. He owes her a phone.
• 54:01
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 54:01
  Speaker 3: He pushed her in the pool. He caused the phone
• 54:03
  Speaker 3: to be destroyed. I think he actually did wind up
• 54:05
  Speaker 3: getting her a new phone.
• 54:06
  Speaker 6: Correct.
• 54:06
  Speaker 3: But that's that, right? Yes. It's his responsibility. This is
• 54:10
  Speaker 3: the same thing. It's in my house. It's his product,
• 54:15
  Speaker 3: and he did not protect it.
• 54:16
  Speaker 5: If only you had fought for this before you made
• 54:19
  Speaker 5: the offer.
• 54:19
  Speaker 3: I don't even know what you're talking about. What's the
• 54:21
  Speaker 3: difference on whiskey? It was your daughter's, and you offered
• 54:24
  Speaker 3: to pay. So if she left it on the floor, then-
• 54:28
  Speaker 3: What's the difference?
• 54:30
  Speaker 5: It's not his daughter who did it. It's her boyfriend.
• 54:33
  Speaker 5: It's her boyfriend. I get that.
• 54:35
  Speaker 3: But regardless, you were still going to be out the
• 54:38
  Speaker 3: same amount of money to replace an AirPod eaten by
• 54:40
  Speaker 3: your dog.
• 54:43
  Speaker 4: Good point.
• 54:43
  Speaker 3: That's my daughter. He ate my daughter. Is that a
• 54:49
  Speaker 3: good point?
• 54:52
  Speaker 5: Do you guys hear the sound of the shovel hitting
• 54:54
  Speaker 5: the dirt?
• 54:54
  Speaker 3: Let me ask you.
• 54:55
  Speaker 4: Listen real closely.
• 54:56
  Speaker 3: If this were you, what would you do?
• 54:57
  Speaker 5: Well, you have to buy them. You've already made the deal.
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: Ooh, Texter, how about this? You might get out cheap.
• 55:05
  Speaker 3: You can get one AirPod from Apple, go to the store,
• 55:07
  Speaker 3: they'll replace it for $ 90. No, they won't. Okay. No,
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: they won't. Don't yell on the screen, Jake. It makes
• 55:15
  Speaker 3: you look crazy. I yelled at the Texter. It makes
• 55:17
  Speaker 3: you look crazy when you do that. Will they really?
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: I don't know. It's worth a phone call. Do we
• 55:23
  Speaker 3: have the six weeks to wait at the Apple store?
• 55:27
  Speaker 3: Because you have to go at 11. You have to
• 55:29
  Speaker 3: go at 9.01. Especially with the note. So that you
• 55:31
  Speaker 3: can be 50th in place. It's not always that bad,
• 55:34
  Speaker 3: but with a new product release, this is the worst
• 55:37
  Speaker 3: week in the go of the entire year. Three months
• 55:40
  Speaker 3: before Christmas?
• 55:41
  Speaker 14: Yeah, sure.
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: It's going to be a ghost town. People lining up
• 55:44
  Speaker 3: to get their flip phones. Their flip. Their fold phones.
• 55:47
  Speaker 3: iPad duos.
• 55:47
  Speaker 8: Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 55:48
  Speaker 3: All the fun stuff.
• 55:49
  Speaker 13: No.
• 55:49
  Speaker 3: iPhone duo. Yeah, it's an iPhone duo. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 55:53
  Speaker 3: If that's the case, that would be awesome because I
• 55:55
  Speaker 3: really don't want to spend $ 350 on new AirPods for them.
• 55:59
  Speaker 3: Of course you don't. I don't feel that it was
• 56:01
  Speaker 3: my responsibility. It's just my kid. My dog did do it,
• 56:06
  Speaker 3: but my dog, it's a dog, dude. I mean, dogs
• 56:08
  Speaker 3: do dog stuff. Your dog bears the same amount of responsibility,
• 56:13
  Speaker 3: you and your dog, whether it was your daughter or
• 56:16
  Speaker 3: her boyfriend who left it on the floor. That doesn't
• 56:19
  Speaker 3: change how you feel about it because, oh, that belonged
• 56:24
  Speaker 3: to my daughter and I want her to like me. Oh,
• 56:27
  Speaker 3: it has nothing to do with it. She likes me already, Jack.
• 56:29
  Speaker 3: I'm a little codependent, so I want to take care
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: of this. She likes me because I bought these things originally.
• 56:33
  Speaker 8: Of course.
• 56:35
  Speaker 3: As do I.
• 56:35
  Speaker 4: Well, look at this way. If it hadn't happened.
• 56:38
  Speaker 3: I bought these things for both of you guys.
• 56:40
  Speaker 5: I know.
• 56:40
  Speaker 3: I use mine every day. Well, give me one of yours.
• 56:42
  Speaker 5: No way.
• 56:43
  Speaker 4: Awesome.
• 56:44
  Speaker 3: I need the right one from one of you.
• 56:46
  Speaker 4: I've got mine right here.
• 56:47
  Speaker 3: Sorry, I need that. I have no hearing in my
• 56:49
  Speaker 3: left ear. I need that. Yeah, I love it.
• 56:51
  Speaker 4: I love mine. I use mine every day.
• 56:54
  Speaker 3: Every day. I borrowed my wife's internet to listen to something.
• 56:57
  Speaker 3: I'm like, why don't I have a pair of these?
• 56:59
  Speaker 3: These are amazing. She looks at me and she started laughing.
• 57:01
  Speaker 3: She goes, you would lose them in four minutes.
• 57:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 57:04
  Speaker 8: You are not.
• 57:05
  Speaker 3: She literally looked at me like my mother and said,
• 57:06
  Speaker 3: you're not getting a pair of these, buddy. You're not
• 57:10
  Speaker 3: getting a pair of these.
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 57:11
  Speaker 3: You would lose them. Like, I know these things would
• 57:13
  Speaker 3: be left immediately. And she did. She said, buddy. She goes,
• 57:16
  Speaker 3: you're not going to pair these, buddy.
• 57:17
  Speaker 5: Jimmy would be the only one who would have to
• 57:19
  Speaker 5: tie pieces of string around both of his AirPods.
• 57:23
  Speaker 3: Like the chain on your glasses. Those chains. They call
• 57:28
  Speaker 3: me two chains for two different reasons.
• 57:30
  Speaker 5: You'd look like a little librarian, but you'd have your
• 57:32
  Speaker 5: little AirPods just dangling from you.
• 57:34
  Speaker 3: They're amazing, though, man. Those things are freaking amazing. The
• 57:37
  Speaker 3: sound is amazing. Without a doubt. Yeah, I mean, it's incredible.
• 57:40
  Speaker 3: Just another wonderful product from Apple.
• 57:42
  Speaker 6: I know.
• 57:43
  Speaker 10: I know.
• 57:44
  Speaker 3: But I don't know what to do. Your homeowner's insurance.
• 57:47
  Speaker 3: What would you do, by the way? If it was
• 57:49
  Speaker 3: code black, if this had happened to code black. Oh,
• 57:51
  Speaker 3: I'd charge him triple.
• 57:52
  Speaker 5: You'd have bought him a new pair.
• 57:54
  Speaker 3: I'd buy him a new pair.
• 57:54
  Speaker 5: Well, then you need to do the same thing for
• 57:56
  Speaker 5: your girlfriend's boy.
• 57:57
  Speaker 3: It's how you feel about the person. It's not the...
• 58:00
  Speaker 3: It's not what happened. It's who it happened to. So
• 58:03
  Speaker 3: this happens to you. Your daughter brings her boyfriend over.
• 58:06
  Speaker 3: He leaves his AirPod on the coffee table. Your cat
• 58:09
  Speaker 3: eats it. You pay for it? Probably.
• 58:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah. And that's Jack.
• 58:13
  Speaker 3: You're the wrong person to ask.
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 58:14
  Speaker 4: And that's Jack.
• 58:15
  Speaker 3: But that's because I'm codependent. Yeah.
• 58:18
  Speaker 4: We're all codependent.
• 58:19
  Speaker 3: We are all codependent, buddy. I have bad news.
• 58:22
  Speaker 4: Exactly. Nobody's special around here.
• 58:24
  Speaker 3: It's the one that covers everybody.
• 58:26
  Speaker 5: Nobody is special. We're all codependent.
• 58:29
  Speaker 10: Right, right, right.
• 58:30
  Speaker 3: Well, I guess I'll pay for the thing. I don't know.
• 58:32
  Speaker 3: Just peel it.
• 58:33
  Speaker 4: Out of your wallet. You've probably got it on you.
• 58:35
  Speaker 3: I hope that texting service guy's right. I really do.
• 58:38
  Speaker 3: I hope he's right. I hope I can slide in
• 58:39
  Speaker 3: the Apple, wait the seven days to get in there,
• 58:42
  Speaker 3: and I'll bring some food and a chair, and I'll
• 58:45
  Speaker 3: get in there and I'll buy one of these things
• 58:47
  Speaker 3: for $ 90. I don't think you can do it online, right?
• 58:48
  Speaker 3: They won't do it online? You can't send it to
• 58:50
  Speaker 3: them or whatever? I don't think so. Go to the store,
• 58:53
  Speaker 3: go to Altamont, wait like everybody else? Jack's right, though.
• 58:57
  Speaker 3: That new product, that is going to be a blanking
• 58:59
  Speaker 3: zoo in there. AI Overview says, yes, you can replace
• 59:02
  Speaker 3: a single lost or broken AirPod without buying a whole
• 59:06
  Speaker 3: new hell yeah i gotta call my daughter and let
• 59:09
  Speaker 3: her know go to apple service or uh repair for
• 59:12
  Speaker 3: airpods you can go online and start even better even
• 59:15
  Speaker 3: better yeah that's awesome better yeah that's good.
• 59:17
  Speaker 4: News look at that look at what you just avoided.
• 59:19
  Speaker 3: About 69 to 89 dollars per individual airpod let me
• 59:23
  Speaker 3: ask you a question do you guys punish your animals
• 59:25
  Speaker 3: when they do stupid stuff like this I mean, I know.
• 59:29
  Speaker 3: Do you punish them at all? I waterboarded my dog
• 59:31
  Speaker 3: for about an hour today.
• 59:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 59:33
  Speaker 3: But that's for you.
• 59:35
  Speaker 11: She's tough, though.
• 59:36
  Speaker 3: She gave up nothing. If you're not catching them in
• 59:38
  Speaker 3: the moment, it's pointless. It is because they don't know, right?
• 59:42
  Speaker 3: And I think my wife gave her a little pop
• 59:43
  Speaker 3: when she found her with that thing in her mouth.
• 59:45
  Speaker 3: I think she gave her the whole big... you know, Sadie,
• 59:47
  Speaker 3: no really loud because she understood.
• 59:49
  Speaker 5: That hurts more. You remember when we were growing up,
• 59:52
  Speaker 5: it was when your parents said how disappointed in you
• 59:55
  Speaker 5: they are. That's when you really get the dog.
• 59:57
  Speaker 3: Oh, that worked for you. It was, it was the
• 59:59
  Speaker 3: right point. It was the left cross that did it
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 3: for me.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 3: Maybe. It was the whispering of the belt coming out
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 3: of my old man's belt loops. Maybe she can punish
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 3: Sadie and have Sadie sleep in the dog bed and
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 3: let you sleep in the big bed. Maybe Sadie will
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 3: then get the message. Sadie will not sleep in another bed.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 3: I mean, I actually threw it because she was snoring
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 3: in my face again the other night. I looked her
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 3: dead in the eye. This dog. The little dog. Her
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 3: head's as big as a tangerine. 10 pounds? 11 pounds.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 3: And I looked her dead in her face and said,
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 3: I'm going to kill you if you don't shut your
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 3: stupid mouth. And then she just looked at me and
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 3: continued snoring. Then I was like, I want to take
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 3: you into my studio and lock you in the bathroom.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 3: Then her eyes opened and she paid attention.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 3: She crawled down by Mommy's feet and then shut the
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 3: hell up. Because Daddy has that gear. Daddy has the
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 3: gear to walk her all the way to the side
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 3: of the house and lock her ass in that bathroom.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 3: The first threat she knew was... She's like, whatever, dude.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 3: He might do that one. And then she probably thought
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 3: to herself, that is about a 50-foot walk, though. All right.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 10: 407-916-1041.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 3: Text us 77031. Whiskey of the Week is next. Jimmy,
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 3: that is not your responsibility, dude.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 13: You don't leave your nasty, waxy AirPods laying around on
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 13: the ground, especially when there's a dog in the house.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 3: And second of all, you don't keep your AirPods out
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 3: of the case when they're not in your ears.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: Like, I've never heard of anybody.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 13: Who just keeps their AirPods out of the case because
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 13: the battery dies.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 3: But, yeah, it ain't on you, brother. Thank you, buddy.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 3: Appreciate that. Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy. This one doesn't sound good.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 3: It's the dog's fault, but you own the dog. It's
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 3: not his fault. It's not your fault. It's the dog's fault.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 3: You own the dog. I think you got to pay
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 3: for it, man. I think you got to pay for it.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 6: Hey, JCS crew.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 4: It's Mike the Publix guy, formerly Mike the Chip guy.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 3: Hey, if Jimmy had AirPods, he would have to tape
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 3: AirTags to him so he could find them when he
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 3: loses them. He should mix those two technologies together.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 8: He's right.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 10: Sorry.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 3: Thank you, buddy.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 9: All right, guys.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 3: Have a good one. You as well, buddy.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 2: See you.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 8: It doesn't matter if I attempt to waterboard my dog,
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 8: take the cock off and wave it at her like
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 8: I'm going to spank her.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 3: It doesn't work.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 8: When I tell you what does work, you might want
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 8: to give it a try, Jimbo. I tell her that
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 8: I'm going to call the cops. Her day's ruined.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 3: That's wild. Look at my 11-mile dog. You better chill out.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 3: I'm going to call the cops.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 4: Should be like, no, not the Popo.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, not Popo. I don't need 5-0 up in my bed.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 4: That's right.

  Speaker 3: just really, really great people. And we love this business,
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 3: and we love these whiskeys. Absolutely, yeah. Last month was rye.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 3: This month is bourbon. And I will tell you, Jack,
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 3: last week's was very good. But it's so funny because
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 3: the first line of the description of this whiskey could
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 3: not be more accurate. We're talking about Tampa Cigar.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 7: Yeah, so.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 3: It's funny because I've had a hard time really tasting
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 3: the notes, the individual notes.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 4: I mean, you seem to pick up on these flavors.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 4: Ross does as well.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 3: And to me, I'm kind of lost on it until
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 3: today because this one is pretty strong. Yeah, this one
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 3: is pretty overwhelming. So the first line of the description
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 3: of this whiskey could not be more accurate. It says, quote...
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 3: If breakfast was a whiskey, it would taste like this. Rich,
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 3: sweet maple tree staves and wood staves from the Brazilian
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 3: Ambarana tree and a wild combination of sweet maple syrup
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 3: and cinnamon toast crunch. Created specifically each year for the
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 3: Tampa Cigar Week every single spring. And let me tell you,
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 3: they nailed that. That's exactly what this is.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 8: Yep.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 3: Like, you can taste the maple right away. And at
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 3: first I was like, I think I taste cinnamon. And
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 3: then I saw that it was cinnamon toast crust. Yeah, man.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 8: I mean.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 3: It's really, really good. See, when I took my first
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 3: sip of this, I got a lot of butterscotch in there.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 3: A lot of really good butter flavors in there. That's
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 3: the creamy part of it. But you're right. At the end,
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 3: you do get that. And it's a special... I've never
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 3: heard of... Is it Ceylon cinnamon? Have you ever heard
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 3: of that? I have not. I've not either. Yeah. But
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 3: I will tell you, you can definitely get the cinnamon
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 3: in there. But it is that maple flavor that is
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 3: the overwhelming flavor. And it's strong. You can get it
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 3: in the nose immediately.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 3: Now, for people who think that we're talking about this,
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 3: this is not like a flavored... Like, it doesn't taste
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 3: like syrup. You know what I'm saying? I think there
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 3: are hints of that. That's what I'm saying. It still
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 3: tastes like whiskey.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 3: But when you get that aftertaste in there, you do
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 3: have those maple syrupy kind of notes in there. And
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 3: it is a little sweet. It's very good, though. Yeah,
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 3: they released this one under their Artisan series. But here's
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 3: good news, bad news. Good news, it was very popular.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 3: Bad news, it sold out. But they're going to be
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 3: doing more cigar-focused releases coming next year as well.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 3: Holy man.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 11: God.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 3: It's so good.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 3: Have you smelled it, Deb?
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 4: From over here?
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, smell it. Just take a little smell in there
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 3: real quick and tell me if I got your breath. No, just,
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 3: I mean, as soon as you uncork it, I'm like, oh. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 3: Pretty crazy, huh?
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 5: Got a little bit in there. That's one way to ingest.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't snort it. You actually drink it. Yeah,
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 3: this is really nice. It says here this unique wood
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 3: will not allow spirits to rest on the wood for
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 3: too long because of flavors.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 5: That's the crazy part is how long. I mean, they
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 5: let the bourbon rest, you guys, for only 24 to
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 5: 30 hours.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 4: That's right. Not days, not weeks, not months.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 5: And you normally don't hear that with a whiskey, right,
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 5: or a bourbon. It's all about the aging process.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 3: We've got to move it. That's how it gets its
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 3: color is because the barrel contracts and kind of– It
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 3: works with the weather, with the humidity. It kind of
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 3: squeezes the whiskey that's soaked into the charred barrel out
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 3: of there or the old barrels from the old Chardonnay
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 3: barrels or the old French wine barrels, whatever the case
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 3: may be, wherever they're aging it.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but in this Umbarana wood, you can't let it
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 5: sit or it will turn bitter and metallic tasting. So
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 5: you've got to hit that sweet spot just right.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 3: It's like roasting coffee. People think that coffee roasts for hours.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 3: It does not. It roasts for just a few minutes.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 3: And you can ruin coffee just by roasting it for
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 3: a few seconds too long.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 8: Easily.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 3: That's like the same thing here, man. It's like burning
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 3: it or charring it. Dude, I've got to tell you,
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 3: I would love... I got that, Jack. I would love
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 3: an Old Fashioned with this, buddy. Yeah. You've got to
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 3: imagine the simple would just bring out that maple syrup
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 3: in this. That would be perfect. And the orange and
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 3: the cherry would be absolutely perfect with this whiskey. What
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 3: time is it? I need to bring my kid in. Yeah,
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 3: you do, buddy. That needs to be a Friday thing.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 3: Just leave it in here. Yeah, they specifically create this
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 3: each year for Tampa Cigar Week. Every spring, they make
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 3: a new Tampa Cigar Week. You know, whiskey blend. And
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 3: this is the 2026 blend. Man, you really get that cinnamon.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 3: You really get that at the end of the first
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 3: right up front. It's that kind of buttery, creamy kind
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 3: of maple flavor. And then at the end, man, that
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 3: cinnamon just comes right out. And it's funny because it's
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 3: like I was my first sip. I tasted that and
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 3: I'm like, I think that's cinnamon. And I'm like, no,
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 3: they can't. It's not cinnamon. Because I don't trust my
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 3: taste buds. And then I read, I'm like, oh. I
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 3: got one.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 10: Yay!
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 3: I got one. Yay! Super good, man. I mean, I
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 3: want to say try it, but it's kind of weird
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 3: doing a whiskey that they don't have any to sell. Yeah.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 3: Just like when you look for this one. It really
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 3: speaks to the uniqueness of what Forward Slash is, and
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 3: it's a blending house right here in Winter Park. I mean,
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 3: they're open. You can go in, hang out, talk to
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 3: them about whiskey. They have a full bar. It's a
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 3: great place to hang out. You could also book events
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 3: for their space right there in the heart of Winter Park.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 5: Not only that, but if you go and you mention
• 1:08:41

• 1:08:50

  Speaker 3: products that they offer. Again, you follow them on Instagram.

• 1:12:31
  Speaker 16: other day you were talking about the comic Bloom County. Man,
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 16: that's the all-time greatest.
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 3: I would agree.
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 16: Bill the Cat, legend status. Hero amongst us all in print.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 16: And one other thing, Jimmy.
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 3: If you hadn't opened your mouth.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 16: About replacing this earbud, you'd be good.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 3: I think I'm still good.
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 2: You're on the hook for it.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 3: I don't think so, buddy.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 8: Jim.
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 3: Yes, sir.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 4: Apple has a replacement policy. Did you get the warranty?
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 3: If you didn't, then all I can tell you is
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 3: just renege on the deal. Got to have the warranty?
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 9: What's up, buddy?
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 8: What's up, Sam? Thank you, buddy.
• 1:13:11

  Speaker 2: Fort from Duval.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 13: Duval.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 3: Jimmy, why do they pick on you? Every day they
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 3: pick on you because.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 2: You're an old man.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 3: You can't help it. Jimmy does not.
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 11: Need AirTags for his AirPods.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 3: That's not going to help the situation.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 2: He's still going to lose them.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 3: And now he's going to be pissed off because he
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 3: has to buy two more AirTags, too.
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 11: And then he's going to be walking around with, like,
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 11: eight AirTags on his AirPods to try to keep them.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 3: He's an old man. We know in a couple years, Tori's.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 6: Got to buy one of those book bags with the
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 6: leash on them so she can walk Jimmy around in public.
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 3: Leave Jimmy alone. He ain't got much time left.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 4: Hey! Don't say that, man.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 3: You'll understand what I'm talking about when they start selling
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 3: Apple stuff in Jacksonville, buddy. And he was defending you.
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 3: I know. All right, welcome back to the Jim Colbert Show,

  Speaker 8: Hello.
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 3: Saw an interesting story today. And I didn't write down
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 3: the stupid link to the story. I only wrote down
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 3: the major part of it. But I can tell you
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 3: the gist of the story.
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 5: Well, give us the major part and I can do
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 5: a Google.
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 4: Search it up, as they say.
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 3: The gist of the story is this. If I remember
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 3: it right, it was this, right? Now, we made this
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 3: the question of the day. Right, and it's up there
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 3: right now. Where do they go, Jack? Realradio.fm slash watch.

• 1:14:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, perfect. And the question of the day is, do
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 3: you still get a physical paycheck?
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 4: Oh, wow.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 3: Okay, do you still get a physical paycheck? And the
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 3: reason why I ask that is because when's the last
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 3: time you got a physical paycheck?
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 8: What?
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 4: 20 years.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 11: Years.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 3: It's been so long. I don't even remember what it,
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 3: I don't, I can't even like when I signed my
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 3: first deal here, my first real deal where I could like,
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 3: this is what I was going to be doing for
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 3: a living. I would get the physical paycheck. The instant
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 3: I signed my first full-time deal here, I've been on
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 3: direct deposit. So that means literally since the mid nineties,
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 3: like the mid, I think, want to say like 96
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 3: is the last time I had a physical paycheck handed
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 3: to me. We have one person on staff who still
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 3: gets it physically sent to them, and it drives them nuts.
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 3: Does it really? Really. It drives the company crazy? Yeah, well,
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 3: just because there's like, oh, yeah, you have one you
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 3: had in cash. It's like, you know, it would be
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 3: a lot easier if you just switched to direct deposit.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 10: Right, yeah, yeah.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 3: For everyone. I cannot tell you that. So listen, why
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 3: do you think I asked that question? What do you
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 3: think the gist of the story was?
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 4: You mean the guy with the missing AirPod?
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 3: I knew I got shorted.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 5: Because, well, I would imagine it has something to do
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 5: with younger generations, and if they were handed a check,
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 5: they wouldn't know what to do with it.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 3: Not quite. What do you think, Jack? Why do you
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 3: think this is a big deal, the idea of getting
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 3: a physical check handed to you?
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 4: Check or chick?
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 3: Check, as opposed to a direct deposit.
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 3: There's a tactile feeling about feeling like you've done something.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 3: That's exactly the answer.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 10: Is it?
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 3: That's exactly the answer.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 5: Give yourself a dong, dude.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 3: You're receiving something. There is a study that they put
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 3: out that said that when people switch to direct deposit,
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 3: it changed the way they felt about their job. It
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 3: changed the way they felt about if they were productive enough.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 3: At the end of the week, you put in your hours.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 3: The boss comes, hands you that envelope. That envelope's got
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 3: that check in there. You fold that thing. You put
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 3: it in your back pocket, and there is a sense
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 3: of accomplishment there. You have a physical reminder of the
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 3: time that you've put into the company in front of you.
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 5: B.S., that's just another chore I have to do because
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 5: now I've got to figure out when is the bank open?
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 5: Are the drive-through lanes open? I mean, and good luck
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 5: finding a bank branch. That, I mean, $ 11. 59, $ 59, that
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 5: bitch is close. Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 3: But now you just take a picture of your check
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 3: and send it in. My wife used to do this
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 3: all the time. She would just take a picture of
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 3: her check and then mail it. It automatically deposits.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 4: If you have the app on your phone.
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, yeah.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but I mean– For me, I mean, those days
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 4: were like, yay, I got paid.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 5: That was like, okay, you can't take it away from
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 5: me now.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 3: Right, right, right, right.
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 4: I got it in my hands.
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 3: And the funny thing is, although when I read the story,
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 3: I was like, that's kind of silly. The more I
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 3: started thinking about it, the more I kind of flashed
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 3: back to the days that I worked in my print
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 3: shop for my dad and worked for another company for
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 3: a while. And how on Friday, when it started getting
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 3: that 430, 445 time, the guy always made the rounds.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 3: He had his checks. He handed you your check. And
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 3: I don't know what it was. I know how much
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 3: it was going to be. I made the same exact
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 3: amount every single week.
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 4: But it was still like Christmas.
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 3: There was going to be no surprise there. But for
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 3: some reason, having it and the idea of going to
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 3: the bank, having them give me– there was just something
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 3: about it I really enjoyed. And the funny thing is
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 3: I never even knew I missed it until I read
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 3: the story. I'm like, yeah, they're right. I think Jerry
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 3: Seinfeld agrees perfectly. You're familiar with comedians in cars getting coffee. Yeah,
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 3: of course.
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 3: He used to pay the guests, but he would pay
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 3: them in cash, in a cash envelope. Because he said
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 3: there was a feeling like when you do stand-up at
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 3: a club, you'd get paid in cash. And there was
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 3: just something powerful about that, like a dopamine hit.
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 3: You got that so he won out like i mean
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 3: he had jimmy fallon on it you know but he'd
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 3: hand him an envelope full of cash for being on
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 3: the show that's unreal yeah yeah i'd never get paid
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 3: in cash for a job i don't know how i
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 3: would feel about that i think i'd almost actually rather
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 3: get a check I don't know what it is. I
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 3: like the idea of seeing my name written on the check,
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 3: the number there. I like the idea of paying taxes.
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 5: Spoken like a real Jersey boy over there.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 3: It was just kind of interesting.
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 4: Just take two tree off the top.
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 3: What percentage of our audience, before we get the tally
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 3: at the end of the night, what percentage of the
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 3: audience do you believe still gets a paper check? I'm
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 3: going to say less than 10%. Oh, no, I disagree wholeheartedly.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 10: Do you?
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because I do believe that still people who work
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 3: with their hands, construction guys and like that, that they
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 3: will still get a check. I think maybe there are
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 3: some people out there that don't have checking accounts, dude.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 3: So my wife, like gig workers, right? And my wife
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 3: as a singer, and it used to be paper checks,
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 3: but now it's all electronic. It's either Zelle or Venmo. Right, right, right.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 3: And I didn't take that into consideration, but I bet
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 3: there are still people out there that do get paper checks.
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 3: There are a lot of people who don't trust banks, buddy.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 3: There are a lot of people who don't trust any
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 3: of that technology and they get that. Matter of fact,
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 3: I guess what? That paper check has to go to
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 3: a bank. I understand.
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 4: But guess what? When the AI takes over, you're going
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 4: to want your paper check.
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 3: But they can cash that check and just keep that
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 3: cash to themselves. They don't have to have a bank account.
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 3: Do you know anybody that doesn't have a bank account?
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 3: Evil eye. I think I know literally one or two
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 3: people that do not trust banks. They do not have
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 3: bank accounts.
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 4: He now has a bank account.
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 3: Oh, boy.
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he has a bank account now.
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 3: Wow. He's really stepping in there.
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 4: He's probably going to be the M1.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 3: He's saving up for singing lessons. What was the last
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 3: job you did where you got a check? What was
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 3: the job?
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 4: Oh, that was Disney.
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 3: It was Disney?
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and I had kept some of those payroll stubs.
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 4: Man, did I not make it.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 3: How did you make it to the next day? I
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 3: got to tell you, when I first moved to Orlando,
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 3: I worked for a sub shot. It was Gabriel Subs.
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 3: We were just talking about that earlier, right? So I
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 3: worked for Gabriel's sub shop. And the cool thing that,
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 3: that about, uh, Jerry Gabriel, who turned out to be
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 3: an interesting cat, In the middle of the week, if
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 3: you were light on money, he would let you what
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 3: they call markup money. You could borrow $ 10 from your
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 3: own paycheck, like a check advance.
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 10: Oh, wow.
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 3: And he would put it on a little piece of paper,
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 3: and he would put it on the wall so you
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 3: know at the end of the week when he went
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 3: to pay you out, he had to pull back whatever
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 3: that was, $ 10, $ 5. It was never anything crazy, but
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 3: he would allow you to do that. I don't know
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 3: you could do that with a check system because he
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 3: paid in cash as well.
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 5: Well, that's a small family-owned business.
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 8: Sure, yeah, yeah.
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 5: That's the kind of relationship you're not going to have
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 5: at a– Corporate conglomerate.
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 3: Is the texting service checking in at all about people
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 3: who are doing it?
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 5: Man, I miss having the texting service.
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah. This person says, I get direct deposit, but my
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 3: wife gets checks because she does house cleaning. So it
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 3: also depends on the type of work. I write like
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 3: one paper check a year, and it's to my CPA. Oh, really? Yep.
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 3: He's old school. I write a check to my CPA
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 3: every year as well. Actually, some of the vendors that
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 3: we use, we write checks to, but a lot of
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 3: them just want Zelle or Venmo or something like that.
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 5: We learned a very expensive– not expensive. It could have
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 5: been expensive, but for anyone who is planning a wedding–
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 5: And that includes young people. You're going to want to
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 5: have a checking account. All of our vendors told us,
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 5: do not pay with your credit card because you get
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 5: hit with that 3% charge. So for our caterer, I mean,
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 5: we would have spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars. just
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 5: paying interest if we'd paid with a credit card.
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 3: Right, right, right. That reminds me, the only second check
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 3: I had to write in the past year was as
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 3: a wedding gift to somebody. You got to be careful
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 3: because sometimes they sit on it for like months before
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 3: cashing it. Even though your check is cool and it
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 3: has a Yankees logo on it, maybe that's why they
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 3: wanted to keep it around for so long so they
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 3: could see the Yankees logo. Even Cubs fans would do that,
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 3: you think? Yeah, apparently.
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 3: We have another text. They finally cashed it, though. Another
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 3: person texted and said, good point. A company I work
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 3: for recently handed out Christmas bonus checks, and it's way
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 3: different to open it up and look at it.
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 3: Open up that envelope and look at your bonus check
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 3: rather than just going, hey, you just got a direct
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 3: deposit for this amount. It doesn't have the same zeal, dude.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 15: It doesn't.
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 3: So I used to get my tax return. You used
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 3: to get a check, right?
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 3: But now you do your tax return, and three days later,
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 3: it's in your bank account? Hell yeah.
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but then what?
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 3: Ha ha. I say hell no, and I'll tell you why.
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 3: Because the anticipation, the anticipation of when you file your
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 3: taxes and you know you have a little cash coming back,
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 3: the anticipation of what day that's going to hit your mailbox,
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 3: there's something about that. Just checking your account on your
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 3: app and seeing, oh, you got it. How lame. No,
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 3: same anticipation, just less time.
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 4: And it's already there.
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 3: You want the vibe, dude. Who cares? You know you're
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 3: getting the money. You want the vibe.
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 5: The vibe is logging in and going, hell yeah, it's there.
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, I just did it to see if we
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 3: got paid. It's like, oh, damn it. Is it Monday?
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 3: When the 15th hits on the weekend, or a Monday even,
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 3: they pay you on Friday. This lady texted and she goes,
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 3: I'm 60 and my mom still sends me a birthday check. Oh,
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 3: that's awesome.
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 4: That's so sweet.
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 3: Five bucks, like seven bucks. Like $ 1 for every year. Right, exactly.
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 3: All right, 40791 says, working in the logging industry in
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 3: northern Maine, I've always gotten a paper check. A guy says, here,
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 3: I have three I haven't even cashed yet. And the
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 3: guy says, here, my office, you can get a check
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 3: or direct deposit, midsize law firm. I still think that's
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 3: the case here. If you wanted to get a paper check,
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 3: they would do it for you.
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but you heard how that one employee is.
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 3: Oh, man, I got to tell you, when I used
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 3: to get my checks from iHeart, because, I mean, we
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 3: never thought in a million years we'd be doing this
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 3: for a living.
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 3: And the first time we got the job, you didn't
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 3: have to check. You'd have to kind of have to
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 3: bend that corner or bend the ends over and tear
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 3: that thing off.
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 4: Very carefully.
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 8: Oh, yeah.
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 3: Very carefully. Dude, that's awesome. It's like opening a present.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 3: I know. Oh, the greatest, dude. That's the trick, though.
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 3: You bend it both in both directions.
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 4: And then it peels right off.
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 5: And then you use one finger to kind of hold
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 5: it steady.
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 3: Because back in those days, we didn't know because the
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 3: way that they culminated ad money at the time was
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 3: way different than they do it now. So you never
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 3: know exactly what– you know you're hourly. Right. But some
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 3: of the other bonus stuff and ad reads and stuff,
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 3: you didn't know what that was going to be all
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 3: the time. So you just– It's a bit of a surprise.
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 3: It's like rolling over cards in poker. You look at
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 3: that first a little bit and, okay, that's a good one.
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 15: Do I do?
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 11: Do I do?
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 3: Do I do? I don't know. There's just something magical
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 3: about it back in the day. All right, 407-916-1041. Text us, 77031.
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 3: Back in one sec.
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 2: What's up? Jim Colbert-Crew.
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 3: Sage.Steve here.
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 8: What up, homie?
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 3: Talking about the paycheck thing.
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 9: I did roofing for a very long time, and we
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 9: always got paid in cash. But now I work for
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 9: a sprinkler company, and I get a direct deposit now.
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 9: And it is very reassuring to be able to just
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 9: check my phone to see if my money's there. But anyway,
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 9: what sucks is whenever I was working for roofing, no
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 9: tax taken out.
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 3: I'm going to suffer later on. Well, it's real easy.
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 5: You just open your app from your bank on your
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 5: phone on Friday morning.
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 13: And you look at the bank, and there's your check,
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 13: and there's your surprise, and you've got it.
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 4: And I think it's great.
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 3: This must seem completely illogical to people. Happy weekend, Colby
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 3: and Colby, Concrete, and Mike. Man, checks.
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 18: I haven't had a physical check in years, except for
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 18: when we get our quarterly bonus or our Christmas bonus.
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 18: I prefer not to have that direct deposit into the
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 18: bank because I'd like my boss to have to physically
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 18: come to my job and hand me my check.
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 3: That's fine. Nothing wrong with that.
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 17: Colbert Cruz. I work for a pretty big major payroll
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 17: company here in Central Florida. I will tell you that
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 17: about 98% of our clients, and we have a lot,
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 17: are all direct deposit.
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 3: Our direct deposit are electronic. Most checks cost.
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 17: More money than direct deposit or even pay card.
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 3: A lot of companies will use pay card.
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 17: Checks also, after six months of sale, you have to
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 17: return because they go bad.
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 2: Electronics away.
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 3: There you go. I had no idea that would be
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 3: that hot of a topic. It was a very interesting story, though.
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 3: I wish I could remember where it was so people
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 3: could read it. But they tied it into the psychology
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 3: of working. And I think maybe younger people probably have
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 3: that same thing. I mean, we have a lot of
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 3: young people in our audience. They probably feel that the
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 3: direct deposit is the only way to go. But people
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 3: my age, I mean, we were used to getting checked
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 3: all the time. And there was something very romantic about it.
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 3: I really liked working all week and then having that
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 3: handed to me. It was like a verification that I
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 3: did a good job, you know?
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 3: It's fine. You don't have to like it. I ain't
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 3: saying you're going to like it. All right.
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 8: Welcome back.
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 3: Welcome back to the Jim Colbert Show.
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 9: I'm Jim.
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 3: There's Deb. Hello. Jack is here as well.
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 8: Yeah.

• 1:27:40
  Speaker 4: Which is what good morning came from.
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 3: Okay. I don't know where that came from.
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 4: Old English.
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 3: Oh, there you go.
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 3: Such Pups and Pints is coming up in a couple weeks. Yes,
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 3: it is. And speaking of reneging on a deal. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 3: I will never do that. Okay.
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 5: That's why I didn't even respond.
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 3: You turned away.
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 4: And real quickly, we're talking about you being in a
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 4: dunk tank.
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 3: Yes. Yeah. So it's coming up on the 26th, downtown
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 3: Mount Dora, 3 until 6. It's our dog washing event,
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 3: our celebrity dog washing event. We raise money for the.
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 3: Humane Society of Lake County, and they are a 50-year-old
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 3: kill shelter. It's actually their 50th year being a no-kill shelter. Exactly.
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 3: Big difference. Gigantic difference. Big difference. And we are doing
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 3: everything we can to support these guys because they do
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 3: this on donations alone. So every penny that we raise
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 3: that day will go straight to those guys. I'll be
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 3: in the dunk tank. We're going to have some great
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 3: silent auction items. I got one for you today that
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 3: came in.
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 9: Oh, really?
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 3: Are you ready for this?
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 4: Okay, yes.
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 3: This may be one of the coolest silent auction items
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 3: I've ever experienced. Now, look, you can get these things.
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 3: I've seen private jet rides. I've seen 10-bedroom cabins for days.
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 3: I've seen fishing trips in Costa Rica. Tens of thousands
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 3: of dollars for these silent auction items. at different events
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 3: I've been to over the years. I've never seen what
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 3: I'm about to tell you about. We have a gentleman
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 3: that listens to this show. He's a great guy. He's
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 3: actually been out to a number of events, and you've
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 3: actually met him.
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 5: And you're saying that he's donating this to the silent
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 5: auction for Suds.
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 4: Pups, and Clients.
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 3: He runs a wholesale plant company. Ooh. He is going
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 3: to donate... A number, a number, a two hundred and
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 3: fifty dollar shopping spree at a well, that's that's what
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 3: it's going to be valued at. But because it's wholesale,
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 3: it's it's about between seven hundred and fifty and a
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 3: thousand dollars with the plants. That is an entire landscaping job.
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 3: We've never given away landscaping, but that's basically exactly what's happening.
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 3: You'll be able to to bid. on a landscaping shopping
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 3: spree where you get to go in and buy stuff
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 3: at wholesale.
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 4: Oh, that is awesome.
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 3: I actually told him, I said, I'm going to be
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 3: your first bid. I'm telling you straight up. I'm not joking.
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 3: I'm going to be your first bid. I will find
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 3: that sheet and I will put that money down immediately
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 3: when I get there. And he's such a nice guy.
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 3: And he sent me that this morning because he heard
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 3: your prompt to you know, if they needed, if we
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 3: needed some, uh, auction items and he came through. Oh,
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 3: that is so cool. He's working on the one sheet
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 3: for us right now to send it over.
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 4: Oh, that's awesome. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much.
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 3: Also, uh, the baskets from my wife's work are, are
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 3: ready to go as well. So we'll have, we'll have
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 3: those on Monday and I'll explain more about what that
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 3: is and what are, what's in those baskets. Because it
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 3: could be anything. I don't know what Maddie's putting together
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 3: for us.
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 5: Well, whatever they're putting together, we truly appreciate. Because like
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 5: you said, every single dollar raised at Suds, Pups, and Pints,
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 5: our fourth annual event, goes to help the Humane Society
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 5: of Lake County continue their work as a no-kill shelter.
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 5: And Patty Brown emailed me earlier today. and sent some photos,
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 5: said she has a few Star Trek memorabilia items that
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 5: she'd like to donate. She included some photographs. The props
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 5: have been opened and used for cosplay, but they belong
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 5: to a dear friend who thought that these would be
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 5: highly appropriate for them to be used to help take
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 5: care of homeless dogs and cats.
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 3: Wow, that's awesome.
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we're going to have a whole eclectic stuff.
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 3: So much. I mean, Guinness is going to be out
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 3: there providing drinks for us. We're going to have those
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 3: pouch drinks. What are they called?

  Speaker 3: Yeah, the pooch pouches. which are cocktails and basically a
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 3: Capri Sun for adults. We're going to have the Foaming
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 3: Beer Mug for the kids. And if you don't know
• 1:31:24

• 1:31:27
  Speaker 3: spits out like foam, you know, soap foam.
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 5: Oh, the kids love to play in it thanks to
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 5: that mortgage guy, Don.
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 3: Cornhole boards. We're going to have a giant screen for
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 3: college football out there. That courtesy of Guinness.
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, again. Daryl Payne's going to be out there with
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 3: a bunch of their dogs. Pawfection Dog Training. It's going
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 3: to be a blast, man. It really is so much fun.
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 3: And the great thing about this event, it's absolutely free.
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 3: If you want to meet the entire crew, I'll be there.
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 3: Ross is going to be there. Jack's going to be there.
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 3: We're going to be washing dogs. We're going to be
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 3: raising money. And we're very accessible that day. Just hang

• 1:32:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 5: Because for some reason, every year he likes to come
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 5: by with a couple dozen donuts.
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 3: 407-916, by the way, that is September 26th, 3 to 6,
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 3: Mount Dora. Hope to see you there for Suns, Pups,
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 3: and Pints.
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 4: Sunset Park.
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 3: I saw it. Realradio.fm slash dog, and you can get
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 3: all the information. Got it, buddy. I saw a story
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 3: today that really kind of hit home with me I
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 3: wanted to tell you guys about. Now, I know that you, Jack,
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 3: you didn't have kids in athletics, did you? Any of
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 3: your girls play? They were very short-lived. Never more than
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 3: one season of anything. Yep. For a club, what was it?
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 10: Soccer.
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 3: They did soccer. Soccer, okay, very good. And cheering. All right.
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 3: So we know my daughters. I had two daughters that
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 3: played club volleyball. I had a son who wrestled. So
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 3: I've talked about the club volleyball experience quite often, right,
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 3: and how it is unbelievably expensive, right? Well, there is
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 3: a lawsuit, a federal class action lawsuit happening right now
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 3: against a company called Black Bear Sports Group. And they
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 3: allege that they are basically cornering the market in youth hockey.
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 3: and using some really unbelievable tactics to force parents into
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 3: paying these exorbitant fees to keep their kids on hockey leagues.
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 3: One of the things they did is they started buying
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 3: up all the hockey rinks in the area so that
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 3: the parents had no other options but to use them
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 3: as an outlet for their kids to play club or
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 3: league hockey.
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 5: Kind of taking a page from the equity firms out
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 5: buying up HVAC companies, dental companies, you name it.
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 3: Now, I haven't seen anything this egregious yet with volleyball,
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 3: but I will tell you there is a part of
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 3: this that I have heard of after we left the
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 3: volleyball game for my daughter. And by the way, let
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 3: me tell you something real quick. For parents who have
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 3: your kids in club sports, whether it be baseball, volleyball, soccer,
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 3: whatever the case may be, I want you to know something,
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 3: and I'm not coming down on anybody in your family.
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 3: I promise you. This is just from my heart so
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 3: that you can understand, all right? If your kid was
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 3: going to be a college-level player, they would have already
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 3: been spoken to, all right? So if your kid's 15,
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 3: 16 years old, they're playing soccer, and you're hoping for
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 3: a D1 deal or something like that, your kid would
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 3: have been spoken to when they were 11, 12 years old.
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 3: And the reason I know this is because I had
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 3: a scout tell me that very thing. I was at
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 3: a volleyball match. We knew that a bunch of scouts
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 3: were going to be there because it was a big tournament.
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 3: I was up in the stands. All the scouts were
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 3: down in one area. All the parents surrounded them, of course.
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 3: It's misery to be one of those people because the
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 3: parents are unbelievably forward when it comes to that. So
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 3: it happens that I was sitting up in the stands,
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 3: and one of the scouts figured out what the parents did.
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 3: He was sitting up there near me. I figured out
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 3: he was a scout because he was videotaping with his phone.
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 3: He was making notes. And we started talking a little bit.
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 3: And I said, well, I said, when you look around here,
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 3: how many athletes do you see today? And he starts laughing.
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 3: And he goes, that's one of the biggest misconceptions of
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 3: club sports. Everybody, every parent out there believes that their
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 3: kid has a shot. He goes, look at this gym.
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 3: And I think there were 30 teams, which means there
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 3: were 300 girls or so in that gymnasium. For that
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 3: particular tournament. He goes, guess how many girls we're here
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 3: to watch? And I know these people down there watching everybody.
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 3: How many girls total do you think of everybody in
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 3: this building we're here to actually pay attention to?
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 4: I'll say two at the most.
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 3: It was three. It was three total girls. And the
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 3: word had been out on them since they were in
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 3: middle school.
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 5: But haven't you always said that's the racket for the
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 5: club sports, though, is that you keep that hope alive
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 5: for parents so that they keep forking over the money?
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 3: And the other part of this lawsuit that's very, very—
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 3: That's brutal. It is brutal, buddy. It is brutal, but
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 3: I mean, it sounds— It's brutal. Buddy, I'm telling you,
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 3: it's brutal. I've got to tell you, all these club
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 3: parents out there, they figured out about year four. When
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 3: they think there's a D1 action coming, D1 deal coming,
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 3: and they're all signing with small D2 schools like my
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 3: daughter did. My daughter got lucky to get a D2 deal.
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 3: She's a great player, but she's also 5'7, 5'8, and
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 3: doesn't have leaping ability. I saw one, and all the
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 3: years my daughter played club or played high school volleyball,
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 3: we saw two players that made it to D1 schools.
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 3: And one of them went to Winter Springs. And she
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 3: was only like 5'8, but she could jump to the ceiling.
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 3: She was a monster athlete. You could see it immediately.
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 3: She was way different than everybody in the gym.
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 3: And you know it immediately, right? So the part of
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 3: this lawsuit that's really kind of insidious to me is this.
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 3: They have a stay-and-play policy. Do you know what that is?
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 3: What do you think a stay-and-play policy is?
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 10: Um ….
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 5: If you stay in the club, you can play at
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 5: their rinks.
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 3: If your kid plays for one of these clubs, right? Now,
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 3: this is the hockey league I'm talking about. It's part
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 3: of the story, part of this federal lawsuit. If you
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 3: live outside of 50 miles away from the venue, you
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 3: have to rent your room first. from the hotels they've
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 3: made deals with. How about this? You can't even contact
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 3: the hotel yourself to make a better deal. You have
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 3: to take the rate they set with the hotel. Sometimes
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 3: it's higher than if you just book the thing yourself.
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 3: If you get caught booking by yourself, they'll throw you
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 3: out of the league.
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 5: Man, they sound like Monsanto with farmers and seeds.
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 3: It is just like that. I mean, it is absolutely crazy.
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, even if you have a
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 3: family member that lives in that city that you're playing in,
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 3: you cannot stay with them. They will penalize you for
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 3: doing that. You have to stay at the hotel.
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 5: How have they been able to operate just even like that?
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 3: You know what it is? It's because the parents want
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 3: their kids to play so badly that they will literally
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 3: jump through any hoop to keep that kid on that
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 3: hockey team. And when you dominate, when you own it all,
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 3: it's like Ticketmaster. Right, yeah. Or any of these ticket companies.
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 3: When you own everything, you control the game.
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 5: You know, didn't we break up Ma Bell in the
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 5: 70s for a reason?
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 3: It is really crazy. I really do empathize with families
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 3: out there that have child athletes, and they want them
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 3: to be the best out there. And you're doing it
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 3: from the best of your heart. You really are.
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 10: We did.
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 3: It cost us tens of thousands of dollars to put
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 3: our kid through club volleyball for four years. We had
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 3: another daughter that played club volleyball for a short period
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 3: of time, and she just kind of lost interest in it.
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 3: and didn't play. The travel, plane tickets, sometimes they played
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 3: in Puerto Rico.
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 4: Wow, yeah.
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 3: Sometimes they played in Kansas. They played all over the U.S.
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 3: And guess who didn't pay those bills? the school or
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 3: the league that was all coming out of mom and
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 3: dads on top of the fees to pay for your
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 3: kid to play and that doesn't even guarantee your kid
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 3: will play like you could pay all these fees and
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 3: your kid can sit I'm glad my kid's got my
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 3: athletic ability. This is not a financial problem for me.
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 3: And the reason I bring this story up, this is
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 3: going to be a precedent-setting story. It really is. And
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 3: I've got to tell you, I hope it works out
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 3: for the parents on this end because this will obviously
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 3: immediately spread into all the other club leagues, whether it
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 3: be baseball, volleyball, soccer, again, anything like that. Basketball, AAU
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 3: basketball is another one of those things that you will
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 3: have a little bit more power when it comes to
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 3: your money when it comes to your kid playing these
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 3: league sports.
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's pretty egregious.
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 3: It's like highway robbery, man. It says the lawsuit comes
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 3: on the heels of USA Today investigation, which found that
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 3: Black Bear aggressively bought up dozens of ice rinks in
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 3: 11 states, including Pennsylvania, Jersey, Michigan, and Connecticut, then leveraged
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 3: that control to raise prices, force out longstanding community-based teams,
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 3: and replace them with expensive for-profit alternatives. In other words,
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 3: they had community-driven teams that would have been more accessible
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 3: for kids that maybe didn't have parents that had money
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 3: to get them in there and get them the great equipment,
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 3: all that other things. You know, It would just be
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 3: like a wreck team.
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 5: And notice that none of those states are really affluent states. Right.
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 5: Where parents are rolling in it. You're not talking like Massachusetts, Connecticut.
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 5: You know, you're talking, you know, pretty Midwest salt of
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 5: the earth folks who, like you said, want to keep
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 5: their kids in sports and will make just about any sacrifice. But.
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 5: I don't understand how this is allowed legally.
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 3: It says it's just a money grab from parents.
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 4: It's a monopoly.
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 3: It says that she is a consumer protection attorney for
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 3: a law group who filed the case. It said people
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 3: should be able to choose where they want to stay.
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 3: It said the stay-and-play rules have become increasingly commonplace in
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 3: youth sports, and they're focused on that Let the Kids
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 3: Play Act, which is a federal bill that aims to
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 3: end vulture practices in the youth sports industry that generates
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 3: how much money annually? Youth sports. And I won't tell
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 3: you not to go crazy. $ 4 billion.
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 5: I'm going to go $ 25 billion.
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 3: $ 40 billion. Wow. $ 40 billion for youth sports leagues. I'm closer.
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 3: I had a four. But while that stay in play
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 3: just seems absolutely ludicrous because they're making their own deals
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 3: and then benefiting us. That's exactly what they're doing.
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 3: The fact that even though you might not get a scout,
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 3: the skills that you develop playing at a higher level
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 3: in club sports could benefit you if you go to school.
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 3: You may not get the scholarship, but if you go
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 3: to school, you can still make the team and be
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 3: better because you play club sports. No question, but you've
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 3: got to remember, it's been designed by that. Theoretically, you
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 3: should be able to get that same experience with the
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 3: rec league. But unfortunately, because when you buy up all that,
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 3: imagine this. And this happened in volleyball a little bit.
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, I believe right now even
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 3: two or three of the gyms are owned by private
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 3: owners here. There's one right around the corner. Top Select
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 3: is right there.
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 3: And they're good people. That's what my daughter played for.
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 3: But there was Orlando Volleyball. There's a bunch of other
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 3: volleyball leagues. And they own the facilities. They own these facilities.
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 3: So when you go play tournaments, you're playing at each
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 3: other's facility. It's wild, man. It really is. It was
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 3: one of the most interesting things that we did as
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 3: parents is do this youth sports thing. We were like,
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 3: I told my wife a hundred times, I was like,
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 3: we are way in the wrong business. And to be
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 3: honest with you, I think at one point we actually
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 3: approached the owners of the league around the corner here
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 3: to see if we could, like, is there something we
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 3: can do? Can we get involved with this? Because when
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 3: you see the money coming in and what each parent
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 3: is playing, you're like, God, dog, dude, there is some
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 3: coin in this business. All right, 407-916-1041, and rant over.
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 3: Rant over. All right, 407-916-1041, text 77031. I think we
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 3: have our very last pair of Halloween Horror Nights tickets.
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 10: What?
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 3: Indeed we do. Let's do it. Let's do Pick the
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 3: Porn for those.
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 6: What?
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 1: Do you want to play a game?

• 1:42:43
  Speaker 2: tough day.
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 19: And today's the day that I normally touch base with
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 19: my buddy. I've known him since elementary school. He had
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 19: a bird's eye view of 9-11. He worked for Merrill
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 19: Lynch at the time. Now, normally he's either in Tower
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 19: 1 or Tower 2, but he happened to be in
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 19: his office across the street. He watched the whole thing
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 19: go down. It was 846. And, dude, the information that
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 19: he just rolled on me the last 45 minutes, bro,
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 19: is insane.
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I can only imagine. Good hearing from you, buddy.
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 3: I was just thinking about you the other day.
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 4: Aw.
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 3: Good guy, man. Yeah, Flexie James. Yeah, Flexie James. Good dude.
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 3: I hadn't heard from James in a little bit. I
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 3: was actually worried about him.
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 3: I'm glad he called. Thanks for letting me know you're okay.
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 3: He always had the best connection when he's recording. Yeah.
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 3: NASA level.
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 3: All right. Welcome back. I'm Jim. There's Deb.

• 1:45:13
  Speaker 3: That's terrible.
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 4: Mother of the year.
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 3: All right, Sue, you ready?

• 1:45:46
  Speaker 5: Oh, my God.

  Speaker 4: Well, I've seen a couple of these, so I'm going
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 4: to go with Stay Off.

  Speaker 3: No, that's absolutely.
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 4: Oh, dude.
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 3: That one is tough. That one's tough.
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 4: That's what she said.
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 3: Somebody got paid a lot for that one. Surgery, you know,
• 1:46:10

• 1:46:40
  Speaker 4: No way.
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, it is terrible. It is not good. Somebody
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 3: got talked into a really bad deal with that one.
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 3: They couldn't even get people to pose for it. All right, one, three,

  Speaker 3: You're the best, buddy. I'll put you on hold. Yeah,
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 3: Bad Kitty is real. We're not going to that one.
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 3: I was going to say, come on, describe that cover.
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 3: I actually cannot remember that one because there are a
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 3: couple of them. I just saw the name. I was like,
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 3: that's funny. I'll write that one down. But it's what
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 3: you can imagine.
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah. A couple others did not make the cut before
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 3: we get to the top of the hour. I've got
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 3: to stop doing these. I'm wasting good ones. And I'm
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 3: telling you, these are harder and harder to find.
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 4: Than you can use.
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 3: Slurpees.
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 8: Oh, my.
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 4: That kind of reaction out of Bradshaw.
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 3: And in a tight spot.
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 10: Oh.
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. There you go. Those are the ones
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 3: that did not make the run. All right.
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 10: 407-916-1041.
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 3: Again, you can always text us at 77031. Had to
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 3: use the thesaurus for the top one.
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 4: Did you really?
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 3: I was like, I want to use the word jugs today.
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 3: What do I got to do there? So when you
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 3: go to Google and say, what rhymes with jugs? Google
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 3: just goes, dude.
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 13: Dude.
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 4: What are you doing with your life?
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 3: It's like, dude, are you at work? Exactly.
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 5: Of like the Wheel of Fortune announcer, right? You're not
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 5: on a plane, are you?
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 3: Do they know you're doing this? Did you hear more
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 3: about that? We'll talk about it in a minute. I
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 3: got a little bit more on that whole thing.
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 4: Oh, really?
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 3: Let's just say it's a little crazy. I'll explain here
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 3: in a second. Let's take a little break. Back in
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 3: a sec with more of the Jim Colbert Show.
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 11: Teaser.
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 8: Teaser.
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 2: You're listening to The Jim Colbert Show.
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 13: I was in a cheerleading league, and not only do
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 13: they charge you for all that stuff, the parents paying
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 13: an exorbitant amount for the uniforms and the entry fees,
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 13: they also charge admission to all of the family who
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 13: want to go to see the games.
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 3: You have to go watch your kids. Usually to pay
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 3: for parking also.
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 10: What?
• 1:49:08
  Speaker 3: So they get you. Really get you. You have to
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 3: pay for your kid to be in a league and
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 3: then pay to see your child play in that league.
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 10: Jimmy, you're giving me flashbacks to my daughter's days of
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 10: competitive cheer. It was the worst. Disney has this on
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 10: lockdown with their summit competition. Basically, it's the cheer version
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 10: of the Olympics. But the deal is, you have to
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 10: stay on Disney property. There is no way around it.
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 10: Part of your entrance fee is a five-day package at Disney.
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 8: It's terrible.
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 3: It's no joke, I'm telling you, man. It's unbelievable. These parents,
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you straight up, I could open up the
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 3: phones right now and probably take call after call for
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 3: a couple hours about parents telling you the nightmare stories
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 3: of dealing with some of these club leagues. It's unbelievable.
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 5: Which is why, like you said earlier when you did
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 5: the story about this federal lawsuit, that it probably has
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 5: all these other clubs around the country paying very close attention.
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 3: If I was one of those, I would pay very
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 3: close attention.
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 7: I think that if you're involved in monetizing kids' sports,
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 7: as well as AI, as well as subscription to cars,
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 7: or they'll turn it off or something.
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 8: I don't know.
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 7: I think you should stop. Take a look at yourself
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 7: and stop. It's really disgusting that everything is monetized now,
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 7: including kids' sports.
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 3: Like, that's crazy.
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 2: I did not know about that.
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 8: Oh, yeah.
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 3: You have no idea.
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 4: That is terrible.
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 3: You heard just a couple of them. We talked about
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 3: it for one segment. I'm telling you, I could do
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 3: this all day long. We'd have parents calling for literally hours.
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 7: I would.
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 3: If you heard the numbers... That some of these parents
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 3: paid over the three or four years their kids played
• 1:50:47
  Speaker 3: or participated in these club leagues. Cheers is another one, man.
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 3: And cheer is like cult-like.
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 3: But, I mean, you would be blown away, dude. They
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 3: do gymnastics as well.
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 4: So happy. I only did track for one season.
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 10: 407-916-1041.
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 3: Text us 77031. I'm Jim. There's Deb.
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 2: Hello.
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 3: Jack is here as well.
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 4: You know, I tried out for cheerleading. Did you really?
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 5: But nothing would come out of my voice. I was
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 5: moving my mouth, but I was so petrified that not
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 5: a sound would come out. Don't you find that hard
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 5: to believe?
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 3: Wow. You get terrified, man.
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 4: Oh, terrified.
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's some speaking events. Back in the day when
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 3: I was hosting charity events, you'd have to take a
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 3: really deep breath before getting in there.
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 5: In college, I almost passed out in my speech writing class.
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 5: I never used to like to leave voicemails because I
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 5: thought people would think I was a boy.
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 3: That's funny.
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 4: And now they do.
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 3: Have you had that same voice your whole life?
• 1:51:44
  Speaker 4: It's gotten deeper.
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 3: Has it really?
• 1:51:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah. A lot of screaming.
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 4: This guy. Anyway, moving on.
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, gotcha. In Marlboro.
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 4: Oh, well. Some other thing.
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 3: So this, Jim Thornton, the guy from Wheel of Fortune, right?
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 3: We were kind of on top of this story the
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 3: minute it hit.
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 5: Did not know he was married.
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 3: And we, I didn't know he was married either, actually.
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 4: With a kid.
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 3: So, oh my. So, Jim Thornton, who was the.
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 2: Former.
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 3: The former spokesperson or announcer for Wheel of Fortune, right?
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 3: He is on an airplane, and he's on a website.
• 1:52:19
  Speaker 3: The person sitting next to him is a woman. She
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 3: takes photographs of the website, and now we know what
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 3: was on that website. Matter of fact, I guess there
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 3: was a … One comment said, did you guys see
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 3: the photographs, by the way? I did see some of
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 3: the messages. Plenty of other stuff said as well. This
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 3: was the most egregious of the stuff. Somebody referred to
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 3: the Golden Corral as an all-you-can-eat boyfay because they saw
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 3: two attractive young kids there.
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 5: And one hot little girl.
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a couple of cute boys and a hot little girl, right?
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 3: Used the initials CP, which appeared to stand for Child Pornography.
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 3: shortly after the images were published. Obviously, Wheel of Fortune
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 3: cut ties with this guy immediately. They edited him out of...
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 3: How many shows was it, Jack? Was it an entire
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 3: week of shows? It wasn't a season, was it? No,
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 3: I don't think so. It was like a week of shows, though.
• 1:53:14
  Speaker 3: I think they worked like one or two days a
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 3: month to do all the shows for that month or
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 3: the next month. Now, funny enough, the company or the
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 3: website that he was on has been spoken to. It's
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 3: called Lifeline. Lifeline organizers say, we want to clarify our mission. Quote,
• 1:53:33
  Speaker 3: we operate as a support chat for people attracted to
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 3: children and adolescents. They emphasize there are strict rules in
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 3: place for all users, including ones against any kind of
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 3: illicit behavior, including the sharing of criminalized images. Those who
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 3: break the rules are immediately banned. Many commentators ask why
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 3: a place like Lifeline even exists. This is their answer.
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 3: It exists because most people attracted to minors are fully
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 3: capable of behaving responsibly, yet extremely distressed by the stigmatization
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 3: of their feelings. They need a place to talk, ensuring
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 3: better mental health, leading to more positive outcomes for themselves
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 3: and their local communities. They admit that a certain portion
• 1:54:20
  Speaker 3: of the people who use the website Lifeline are doing
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 3: it for nefarious reasons. But they also claim there's a
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 3: large portion of people who use Lifeline as an ability
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 3: to talk to other people who have these same urges.
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 9: Wow.
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 3: That's a lot. It is a lot. It says Lifeline
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 3: organizers emphasize the service exists, quote, precisely because the world
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 3: is so incredibly hateful and punitive that minor attracted people
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 3: have no other means of support.
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 5: I love the way they try to sanitize it with
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 5: minor attracted.
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 3: Is there– Any accreditation for this website, or is there
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 3: any connection with professional services, law enforcement, or mental health facilities,
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 3: or are they just out on their own doing this? Yeah, well,
• 1:55:14
  Speaker 3: his lawyer says that he was intending to visit the
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 3: suicide prevention website, which is 988lifeline. org, but somehow … ended
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 3: up on Lifeline instead, but he was there for a while, right?
• 1:55:24
  Speaker 3: Didn't they report he was on there for like 40
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 3: minutes or something?
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 5: I think it was closer to 57 minutes.
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:55:29
  Speaker 3: You've learned you've made a mistake immediately. Like, if you
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 3: log into a website and there are people actively talking
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 3: about essaying children, trust me when I tell you, you
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 3: don't need to be on there 50 minutes to find
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 3: out you're in the wrong spot, dude. I would read
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 3: five words of that and bail out, and again, you
• 1:55:43
  Speaker 3: know what I do to computers, right?
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 4: I throw it in the river.
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 5: Well, as soon as I would have seen the word boyfay,
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 5: I would have been like, out!
• 1:55:49
  Speaker 3: Thornton has, quote, become active in suicide prevention advocacy since
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 3: losing a close family member to suicide two years ago.
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I did read that.
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 3: And he spent some time visiting chat rooms offering support
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 3: to individuals suffering from suicidal ideation. He said he exited
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 3: the chat room as soon as he realized his error. Well,
• 1:56:09
  Speaker 3: here's the thing that I have a problem with, and
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 3: I don't believe that even for one second. The person
• 1:56:13
  Speaker 3: next to him took photographs. The person next to him
• 1:56:15
  Speaker 3: read it and knew immediately you shouldn't have that open.
• 1:56:19
  Speaker 3: She knew immediately after reading it that it was bad news.
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 3: That's why she took the photographs.
• 1:56:24
  Speaker 5: I think it goes deeper than that because when you
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 5: think of the fact that you remember, one of the
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 5: responses was, wait, are you on a plane? Aren't you
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 5: worried about someone reading this?
• 1:56:32
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 1:56:32
  Speaker 5: Which means he interacted with the website. It was more than, oh,
• 1:56:36
  Speaker 5: I just opened this page and didn't realize I was
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 5: somewhere wrong. He was interacting enough that someone went, wait
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 5: a minute, you're looking at this on a plane? And
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 5: then there were some other jokes. Don't be the guy
• 1:56:47
  Speaker 5: who gets arrested.
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 3: And by the way, also, if I log into a
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 3: website and you're used to seeing that website, you know
• 1:56:52
  Speaker 3: immediately you're on the wrong website. Like if I log
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 3: on to JimCorporateLive.com, And I mistyped something, and it's a
• 1:56:59
  Speaker 3: parts store. I know I'm on the wrong site because
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 3: I know what I'm supposed to be seeing. So if
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 3: this guy regularly visits 988lifeline. org, don't you think immediately when
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 3: he logged onto a site that didn't look like a
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 3: site that he's supposedly on all the time that he
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 3: would immediately bail? This guy's lying.
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 5: Well, you certainly wouldn't interact with other people on the
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 5: site if you didn't have any interest in what they
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 5: were talking about.
• 1:57:22
  Speaker 4: Insane.
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 5: And apparently he was doing this while wearing a branded
• 1:57:26
  Speaker 5: Wheel of Fortune sweatshirt.
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 3: Yes, which he probably will use as a defense. If
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 3: you think about it, he would probably say to his
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 3: lawyers would probably say, well, you don't think a guy
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 3: would sit there in an insignia jacket and do this
• 1:57:36
  Speaker 3: on an airplane in front of everybody, do you? Well,
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 3: he did. I don't care about what you think he would.
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 4: He did it.
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 5: And his lawyer could make all the arguments they want.
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 5: Wheel of Fortune wants nothing to do with him.
• 1:57:47
  Speaker 3: That was their easiest decision.
• 1:57:49
  Speaker 8: Oh, Lord.
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 3: A voiceover guy can be replaced like that. Can you
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 3: imagine their teaming in L.A. with voiceover people? My God almighty.
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 3: How hard could it be? Unbelievable, dude. I mean, these
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 3: people are just talking about this lifeline thing like it's
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 3: no big deal. Like, yeah, we have a chat room
• 1:58:05
  Speaker 3: for people who sexually assault children just so they can
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 3: get their feelings.
• 1:58:10
  Speaker 10: Out.
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 5: Like I said, I love the way they sanitized it
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 5: with minor attracted.
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 3: I mean– These people are out there, right? Oh, no question.
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 3: They're everywhere. We see that every time there's a bust
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 3: in any of these counties. It seems like every other
• 1:58:25
  Speaker 3: three weeks there's a bust where they drag in 50
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 3: or 60 people, even after there was a bust just
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 3: two weeks before that. So how do you deal with them?
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 3: You don't just say, yell at them, get better. Well,
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 3: you can't.
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 1:58:36
  Speaker 3: It's like it's like telling you to be attracted to men.
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 3: So there's you can't do that. There is some value
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 3: in talk therapy and maybe social groups. But that's why
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 3: I ask, is this accredited? Yes. Yeah. You know, like
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 3: like what is the who's behind this group and how
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 3: legit are they? Let me ask you, do you think
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 3: it's legit if somebody can make a statement like that
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 3: guy made and a mod didn't immediately throw him off?
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 3: Like a statement like what? It looks like an all-day boyfay. Yeah.
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 3: I mean, you make a statement like that, you're gone, right?
• 1:59:11
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:59:11
  Speaker 3: You come in my chat room and you do something
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 3: like that, Alicia and those guys are booting your ass
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 3: in a second. You're not going to be on there
• 1:59:18
  Speaker 3: in five seconds. That's why it seems suspect. Yeah, dude.
• 1:59:21
  Speaker 5: It seems more like a website where it's a place
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 5: for them to go and it's okay.
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 3: Right, right, right.
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 4: It's okay.
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 3: You're fine.
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 5: So what Jack is saying, right, because if there were
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 5: accredited mental health counselors who could say, okay- Let's dial
• 1:59:34
  Speaker 5: it back. We understand this may be how you feel,
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 5: but it isn't appropriate. How can we rechannel these emotions? Instead,
• 1:59:41
  Speaker 5: it sounds like it's just a site where, listen, dude,
• 1:59:44
  Speaker 5: we know you're a good guy. You can't help it
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 5: that you like a hot little girl.
• 1:59:47
  Speaker 3: Right, right, right. You can't help it.
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 4: You can't help it.
• 1:59:49
  Speaker 3: You were born that way.
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 4: Exactly.
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 5: And here you're accepted. And I almost think in a way,
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 5: I don't know. I mean, It seems like it emboldened
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 5: a few people because the person he was chatting with
• 2:00:00
  Speaker 5: did not seem like he was in a place just
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 5: trying to share and be a good person.
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 3: And how crazy is it that somebody obviously maybe didn't
• 2:00:06
  Speaker 3: recognize his handle and immediately started saying, like, dude, what
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 3: are you doing? Are you on an airplane? Like, Jack
• 2:00:11
  Speaker 3: was like, are you on an airplane doing this? Like,
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 3: they knew how caustic the place is and how dangerous
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 3: it would be to be looking at that content in
• 2:00:20
  Speaker 3: an open forum in a place where everybody— Everybody can
• 2:00:22
  Speaker 3: see you doing it.
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 5: Like I said, after they made that comment about, wait,
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 5: you're not on a plane, are you?
• 2:00:27
  Speaker 4: Then they started joking about, well, don't be that guy
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 4: who gets arrested.
• 2:00:30
  Speaker 3: Wow. And nobody– he hasn't been arrested. I mean I
• 2:00:33
  Speaker 3: don't guess he broke a law. He didn't go in
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 3: there and say.
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 5: He was met by authorities after he got off the flight.
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but they called ahead and she probably complained that, hey,
• 2:00:43
  Speaker 3: he was in this and– He probably explained his way away.
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 3: This is a legal, you know, chat group, you know,
• 2:00:49
  Speaker 3: trying to help people. And by the way, logging onto
• 2:00:51
  Speaker 3: the website isn't illegal.
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 2:00:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, he didn't say anything or do anything, apparently,
• 2:00:55
  Speaker 3: that would lead you to believe that he's been involved
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 3: with any criminal activity. So they couldn't really do anything criminally.
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 3: But can I tell you something? I mean, him losing
• 2:01:02
  Speaker 3: that job and having the stigma of this hanging over him.
• 2:01:05
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's the ultimate penalty. He will never get
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 3: hired again. Now he's got more time to help more people.
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 5: Well, and now he's got a wife and a child.
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 5: He has to.
• 2:01:13
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 5: Apologize too because he's also ruined their lives.

  Speaker 2: How you doing?

  Speaker 10: Oh, man.
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 4: Recovering from a sickness? I hate being sick.
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. It's the worst.
• 2:02:35
  Speaker 5: I can hear it.
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's still there a little bit. I feel so
• 2:02:38
  Speaker 4: much better. I'm not sick. I promise.
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 3: Just out of curiosity, did you have a cough by
• 2:02:41
  Speaker 3: any chance? I did.
• 2:02:41
  Speaker 4: And it lingers. It's still here.
• 2:02:43
  Speaker 3: Dude, my wife got that. She travels a lot. So
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 3: she was on a plane, on a couple planes probably
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 3: about three or four weeks ago. came back home and
• 2:02:51
  Speaker 3: had this annoying-ass cough and could not shake it and
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 3: would constantly go through being clogged up and having that
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 3: kind of weird cold kind of feeling. That's exactly how
• 2:03:00
  Speaker 3: I felt. Dude, she just got over it, dude. Literally
• 2:03:02
  Speaker 3: just got over it.
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 4: Don't tell me that. I'm going to be like this
• 2:03:04
  Speaker 4: for two weeks, man. That's the worst part about getting sick.
• 2:03:06
  Speaker 3: It's the cough.
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 4: The cough always stays.
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 3: Let me see your tent. Is that the noob?
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 4: Well, I don't know if you've seen these. This is
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 4: the witch from Left 4 Dead right here.
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 2:03:16
  Speaker 4: I got a little gravestone rocker guy.
• 2:03:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
• 2:03:19
  Speaker 4: Didn't you get a new one for your birthday, though?
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 3: No.
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 2: No, okay.
• 2:03:23
  Speaker 4: These are my newest tattoos.
• 2:03:24
  Speaker 3: I thought for some reason that when you went to Vegas,
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 3: part of the Vegas trip was going to be getting
• 2:03:28
  Speaker 3: a tat.
• 2:03:28
  Speaker 4: You know, that was supposed to happen. Me and my
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 4: dad were supposed to get tattoos. That's exactly right.
• 2:03:32
  Speaker 3: You were supposed to get matching tattoos.
• 2:03:33
  Speaker 4: That's exactly what it was. What happened? We drank a
• 2:03:36
  Speaker 4: lot and we gambled a lot and kind of forgot
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 4: about it. But... You know, they're still in the plan.
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 4: They're still in the budget.
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 3: What's your game out there? I mean, this is your
• 2:03:44
  Speaker 3: first trip to Vegas, right?
• 2:03:45
  Speaker 8: Yeah. Oh, yeah.
• 2:03:45
  Speaker 4: I played, what did I play? No, I do love Blackjack.
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 3: Craps?
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 4: I played a lot of Craps.
• 2:03:50
  Speaker 3: Craps is the most social game in the casino. And
• 2:03:53
  Speaker 3: I will tell you, have you been on a cruise before?
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 3: When you go on cruises, it's interesting. You'll see, like,
• 2:03:59
  Speaker 3: you know, the slots are always the king on cruises.
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 3: The women love the slots. But, man, you go there, like,
• 2:04:03
  Speaker 3: after the big shows, like, during the week when everybody's
• 2:04:06
  Speaker 3: dressed up real nice.
• 2:04:07
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 2:04:07
  Speaker 3: That craps table is on fire like i don't even
• 2:04:10
  Speaker 3: know how to play i just didn't watch and have
• 2:04:12
  Speaker 3: just as good a time yeah that's.
• 2:04:13
  Speaker 4: What dude there was probably about 20 people around this
• 2:04:16
  Speaker 4: one table and half of them weren't even playing obviously
• 2:04:18
  Speaker 4: they're just watching yeah i played at the one where
• 2:04:22
  Speaker 4: you just do it by yourself you know i'm intimidated
• 2:04:24
  Speaker 4: by these pro.
• 2:04:24
  Speaker 3: Gamblers oh yeah yeah it's scary all right it's a
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 3: scary world out there i think craps one of those
• 2:04:28
  Speaker 3: games if you know a little about it you can
• 2:04:30
  Speaker 3: actually make a little dough on crap i think craps
• 2:04:32
  Speaker 3: and blackjack are the games that that you actually have
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 3: a chance to kind of take home some dough.
• 2:04:36
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 2:04:36
  Speaker 4: This dude came up to me in Vegas and he
• 2:04:38
  Speaker 4: was trying to give me like pointers and tips. He
• 2:04:40
  Speaker 4: had a notepad he was writing on and he started
• 2:04:42
  Speaker 4: playing for me. And then I'm like, it's like midnight
• 2:04:44
  Speaker 4: at this point. I'm probably by like 15 drinks.
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 3: Sure.
• 2:04:47
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 2:04:47
  Speaker 2: I was like, all right, go ahead, dude. One nothing.
• 2:04:50
  Speaker 4: This guy thinks he's a pro gambler. He didn't win
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 4: me a thing.
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 3: He probably pickpocketed you the whole time.
• 2:04:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he was like, put in a little bit more.
• 2:04:57
  Speaker 4: And I'd blindly do it, and I'd lose that money too.
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 3: Jaden drops by on Fridays to kind of tell us
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 3: what's happening in the gaming world and other things like that.
• 2:05:04
  Speaker 3: And I haven't seen you in a couple weeks. How's
• 2:05:05
  Speaker 3: it going?
• 2:05:06
  Speaker 4: Oh, man, it's going good. There's a couple news going on.
• 2:05:09
  Speaker 3: Sony. It's taken over and over and over. Sony has,
• 2:05:13
  Speaker 3: let me tell you something. Sony has leaned into this.
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 3: Sony is tired of getting picked on because Sony is
• 2:05:17
  Speaker 3: just like, I don't care what you think. We're going
• 2:05:20
  Speaker 3: through with this and you'll just deal with it. I mean,
• 2:05:22
  Speaker 3: they have finally, they're like a parent that has finally
• 2:05:24
  Speaker 3: had enough.
• 2:05:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah. They had to be the worst company of 2026
• 2:05:29
  Speaker 4: by far. They've caused a lot of drama. And it's
• 2:05:34
  Speaker 4: all within the last four months. They had to wait
• 2:05:37
  Speaker 4: until the very end of the year to be the
• 2:05:39
  Speaker 4: worst company of the year, but they did it pretty quickly.
• 2:05:42
  Speaker 4: Marvel's Wolverine releases this Tuesday, September 15th. It's made by
• 2:05:46
  Speaker 4: Insomniac Games, the same people who made Spider-Man games for
• 2:05:48
  Speaker 4: the PS4, PS5. Pretty solid game. Spider-Man 2 was all right.
• 2:05:52
  Speaker 4: Had some canceled DLC and a canceled spinoff game. So
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 4: the reception was kind of mediocre. So the Wolverine game
• 2:05:59
  Speaker 4: was supposed to save this whole Marvel video game universe.
• 2:06:03
  Speaker 3: Can I stop you there real quick?
• 2:06:04
  Speaker 4: Go ahead.
• 2:06:05
  Speaker 3: Why is it that the Spider-Man movie can be, like,
• 2:06:07
  Speaker 3: number one for six or seven weeks in a row,
• 2:06:10
  Speaker 3: have the same character, but the video game, is it
• 2:06:12
  Speaker 3: just because that particular game isn't that engaging or something? Yeah.
• 2:06:16
  Speaker 3: I mean, the brand is still gigantic, obviously. I mean,
• 2:06:19
  Speaker 3: it's destroying the movies right now.
• 2:06:20
  Speaker 4: It's probably the biggest brand. I mean, it has to
• 2:06:22
  Speaker 4: be top three.
• 2:06:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
• 2:06:23
  Speaker 4: Spider-Man's huge. The game sold well. Like, it had players.
• 2:06:27
  Speaker 4: People played it. The story wasn't all there. For me
• 2:06:31
  Speaker 4: and a lot of people, there was a big drop-off
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 4: from 1 and 2, and no DLCs was a huge
• 2:06:37
  Speaker 4: thing for me.
• 2:06:38
  Speaker 3: DLCs is the stuff you can buy on top of
• 2:06:40
  Speaker 3: it or whatever?
• 2:06:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's added story. There were supposed to be
• 2:06:42
  Speaker 4: three of them, all canceled. Downloadable content. He needs those words.
• 2:06:48
  Speaker 3: Wolverine? A lot of our listeners do as well, Jaden.
• 2:06:51
  Speaker 3: You've got to remember that. You're right.
• 2:06:53
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
• 2:06:55
  Speaker 4: So Wolverine's coming out this Tuesday, and the reviews are
• 2:06:58
  Speaker 4: not great from these game reviewers. It's the worst Insomniac
• 2:07:01
  Speaker 4: game to date. But it comes in as a 79,
• 2:07:04
  Speaker 4: which isn't the worst. Like, 79's not that bad. You
• 2:07:07
  Speaker 4: have a mediocre game.
• 2:07:08
  Speaker 3: That's like a C +. Yeah, exactly.
• 2:07:10
  Speaker 4: You have a mediocre game. So it could be worse.
• 2:07:12
  Speaker 4: But here's the problem. It's a $ 70 game, and it's
• 2:07:15
  Speaker 4: 12 to 15 hours.
• 2:07:18
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
• 2:07:18
  Speaker 3: So you're through with it in no time at all.
• 2:07:20
  Speaker 4: Yes. You could beat this in one day if you
• 2:07:22
  Speaker 4: really wanted to. That's how small this game is.
• 2:07:24
  Speaker 3: And that really, in my opinion, again, me watching my
• 2:07:27
  Speaker 3: dollars type thing, in my opinion, that would be one
• 2:07:29
  Speaker 3: of the biggest things that would turn me off to
• 2:07:31
  Speaker 3: a game. I don't mind spending $ 70 if it's going
• 2:07:33
  Speaker 3: to give me a great... We've talked about this with GTA.
• 2:07:36
  Speaker 3: I don't think it's that bad because it's giving you
• 2:07:37
  Speaker 3: hours and hours and hours of entertainment.
• 2:07:39
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 2:07:40
  Speaker 3: $ 70 for 15 hours of entertainment is a little deep.
• 2:07:43
  Speaker 4: And I saw these negative reviews, and I saw what
• 2:07:45
  Speaker 4: they were saying. I'll tell you what they were saying.
• 2:07:47
  Speaker 4: But I saw how long this game was, and I
• 2:07:50
  Speaker 4: instantly said, yeah, I'm not going to buy that. I'll
• 2:07:53
  Speaker 4: wait to a discount. There's no way I'll pay $ 70
• 2:07:55
  Speaker 4: for a 15-hour game. And that's only 15 hours if
• 2:07:58
  Speaker 4: you do everything in the game. The base story is
• 2:08:01
  Speaker 4: probably shorter than that.
• 2:08:01
  Speaker 3: Oh, wow, really? Meanwhile, like Red Dead Redemption 2, you
• 2:08:05
  Speaker 3: can get close to 200 hours.
• 2:08:06
  Speaker 8: Really?
• 2:08:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, even the Spider-Man games, you could spend like 80
• 2:08:10
  Speaker 4: hours on that game.
• 2:08:11
  Speaker 3: And even with Red Dead, that's really dependent on how
• 2:08:14
  Speaker 3: you want to play the game. Theoretically, you could just
• 2:08:16
  Speaker 3: kind of play that thing almost forever, right? If you
• 2:08:18
  Speaker 3: never really even attempted to go through it, you could
• 2:08:20
  Speaker 3: just kind of wander through that universe, could you not?
• 2:08:22
  Speaker 3: You definitely can, and that's why they built this open-world environment.
• 2:08:26
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 2:08:27
  Speaker 3: But some games are linear where you go step to
• 2:08:29
  Speaker 3: step to step, and then you're done, and it's over. Oh, yeah, yeah, okay.
• 2:08:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's the problem. These last three Spider-Man games
• 2:08:34
  Speaker 4: they brought out, open world, side missions, you could do
• 2:08:37
  Speaker 4: pretty much anything you want, and it doesn't really hold
• 2:08:39
  Speaker 4: your hand. It just lets you be free, lets you
• 2:08:41
  Speaker 4: be Spider-Man. This Wolverine game is level-based. Nothing wrong with level-based,
• 2:08:46
  Speaker 4: but you can't really explore an open world like that.
• 2:08:48
  Speaker 4: You can explore the missions, but it's completely different. And
• 2:08:51
  Speaker 4: the biggest problem is it holds your hand throughout this
• 2:08:54
  Speaker 4: whole game. There is a giant blue line that's made of, like, smoke,
• 2:08:59
  Speaker 4: and it shows you exactly where to go this whole time.
• 2:09:01
  Speaker 3: Oh, why even do that? Exactly.
• 2:09:03
  Speaker 4: It directs you where to go. They have these little—
• 2:09:05
  Speaker 4: For babies.
• 2:09:06
  Speaker 3: It's for babies. Yeah, you can't turn that off?
• 2:09:08
  Speaker 10: No.
• 2:09:09
  Speaker 4: It is a core part of the game.
• 2:09:11
  Speaker 10: Jeez.
• 2:09:11
  Speaker 4: From what I've seen from every review and every outlook
• 2:09:14
  Speaker 4: or outlet.
• 2:09:15
  Speaker 3: That's why it only takes 15 hours.
• 2:09:16
  Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying. They're holding your hand.
• 2:09:18
  Speaker 3: They tell you how to do it, too.
• 2:09:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and they have these collectibles, these quote-unquote collectibles that
• 2:09:22
  Speaker 4: you could find, and they're rare, and they're just chess beaming.
• 2:09:26
  Speaker 4: You can see these things for miles. They might as
• 2:09:28
  Speaker 4: well have a light on top of their head.
• 2:09:29
  Speaker 13: Wow, really?
• 2:09:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so this whole game is just holding your hand
• 2:09:33
  Speaker 4: the whole way through. Nobody wants that, man. Nobody wants that.
• 2:09:36
  Speaker 3: That even younger players who maybe are just i mean
• 2:09:38
  Speaker 3: it still has i mean i say younger players hell
• 2:09:40
  Speaker 3: there are kids at seven playing these things at like
• 2:09:43
  Speaker 3: adult levels right.
• 2:09:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah i mean but realistically this game isn't made for
• 2:09:46
  Speaker 4: kids it's rated m oh is it really yeah it's
• 2:09:48
  Speaker 4: a super gory bloody game and people were really excited
• 2:09:51
  Speaker 4: for the combat and and the storyline guess what both
• 2:09:54
  Speaker 4: of those are mediocre.
• 2:09:55
  Speaker 3: Too according to the reviews that's terrible.
• 2:09:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah and that this is supposed to be one of
• 2:09:59
  Speaker 4: sony's biggest exclusives wow really and It's already flopping. It's
• 2:10:03
  Speaker 4: not even out yet.
• 2:10:03
  Speaker 3: And then on top of that, man, it had to–
• 2:10:05
  Speaker 3: I'm guessing with Sony kind of ruffling the feathers of
• 2:10:08
  Speaker 3: a lot of gamers out there, that it would have
• 2:10:10
  Speaker 3: had to have been stellar because people are now looking
• 2:10:12
  Speaker 3: for reasons not to do business with Sony. So you
• 2:10:14
  Speaker 3: put a game out that's mediocre at $ 70, they're like, hmm,
• 2:10:18
  Speaker 3: take one of these Ls. Yeah, just throwing up the
• 2:10:20
  Speaker 3: bird on you.
• 2:10:21
  Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 2:10:21
  Speaker 4: And the worst part is– They're copywriting negative reviews on
• 2:10:25
  Speaker 4: the game. Insomniac Games is taking down YouTube reviews that
• 2:10:29
  Speaker 4: are talking trash about it. And they won't have anything
• 2:10:32
  Speaker 4: that hasn't been seen. They're using trailer footage, which.
• 2:10:35
  Speaker 3: Is open source. You can use trailer.
• 2:10:37
  Speaker 4: Footage for anything, really.
• 2:10:38
  Speaker 3: But they're trying to say that it's copyright infringement because
• 2:10:40
  Speaker 3: they're using images from the game?
• 2:10:41
  Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah.
• 2:10:42
  Speaker 4: And they're getting videos taken down on negative reviews. Wild, right?
• 2:10:46
  Speaker 3: That's when you know you're doing it wrong.
• 2:10:48
  Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah.
• 2:10:48
  Speaker 4: And that's not only the... That's only one L Sony's
• 2:10:51
  Speaker 4: taken this week, all right? They have another bigger problem
• 2:10:54
  Speaker 4: on their hands because Xbox has swooped in and did
• 2:10:57
  Speaker 4: one of my favorite things I've seen a company do.
• 2:11:00
  Speaker 4: Hideo Kojima, one of the greatest video game developers, if
• 2:11:03
  Speaker 4: not the greatest. The man is a living legend. I mean,
• 2:11:06
  Speaker 4: he's made all the Metal Gear games. He's made Death
• 2:11:10
  Speaker 4: Stranding and many, many, many, many more games. Like, this
• 2:11:12
  Speaker 4: man is a living legend. And Sony just dropped him
• 2:11:15
  Speaker 4: out of the blue. They were like, we're cutting all
• 2:11:18
  Speaker 4: financials for your new games. We're not going to do
• 2:11:21
  Speaker 4: business anymore. We're done. So Kojima was trying to sell
• 2:11:25
  Speaker 4: this new game he has. It's the successor to Metal
• 2:11:28
  Speaker 4: Gear Solid. It's not out yet. Like, we're not close
• 2:11:30
  Speaker 4: to it. But he's been working on it for a
• 2:11:32
  Speaker 4: little bit now. And so Xbox swooped in. The CEO,
• 2:11:36
  Speaker 4: Asha Sharma, was like, hey, I heard what's going on
• 2:11:38
  Speaker 4: with Sony. Why don't you come over to Xbox and
• 2:11:41
  Speaker 4: we can work something out? Guess what? Kojima is now
• 2:11:43
  Speaker 4: making an Xbox exclusive for his newest game and giving
• 2:11:47
  Speaker 4: the bird to Sony.
• 2:11:48
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 2:11:48
  Speaker 5: And that's just everyone else.
• 2:11:50
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 2:11:50
  Speaker 3: And Xbox had a little drama too since we spoke
• 2:11:53
  Speaker 3: about that whole thing where they were cutting the hours,
• 2:11:55
  Speaker 3: the workable hours for the premium games. But I heard
• 2:11:58
  Speaker 3: there's a wrinkle in there. For cloud gaming. Cloud gaming.
• 2:12:02
  Speaker 8: Right, right, right.
• 2:12:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah. So it doesn't really affect a lot of people
• 2:12:04
  Speaker 3: because I guess they said only like 5% of the
• 2:12:06
  Speaker 3: gamers use the cloud or something.
• 2:12:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, cloud gaming is not great.
• 2:12:09
  Speaker 3: Gotcha.
• 2:12:10
  Speaker 4: It's really laggy. Got it. I can go on my
• 2:12:13
  Speaker 4: phone right now and pull up cloud gaming if my
• 2:12:15
  Speaker 4: Xbox is on and play stuff off my phone, and
• 2:12:18
  Speaker 4: it just sucks.
• 2:12:19
  Speaker 3: It's super laggy.
• 2:12:20
  Speaker 4: FPS sucks and all that. No one uses it.
• 2:12:23
  Speaker 3: Some people do. Oh, do you? No, I do not.
• 2:12:26
  Speaker 3: But I do know people who do use it. Matter
• 2:12:28
  Speaker 3: of fact, when they're producing shows here, they're playing their
• 2:12:31
  Speaker 3: Xbox games on their phone. That's awesome.
• 2:12:33
  Speaker 4: That is pretty baller. I do respect that. I do
• 2:12:36
  Speaker 4: respect that. Hey, if you're good at it, man.
• 2:12:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, why not?
• 2:12:39
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 2:12:40
  Speaker 15: All right.
• 2:12:41
  Speaker 4: But the way I'm seeing it, Xbox is up right now.
• 2:12:44
  Speaker 8: One up.
• 2:12:44
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 2:12:45
  Speaker 4: And about to be up to because physical disc to
• 2:12:48
  Speaker 4: digital disc is now live on Xbox. Is it really?
• 2:12:51
  Speaker 4: I don't know if you remember when I mentioned to
• 2:12:53
  Speaker 4: you it was it was for insiders only, but now
• 2:12:55
  Speaker 4: it is fully live. over a thousand games that are
• 2:12:58
  Speaker 4: on physical discs you can plug in or you can
• 2:13:00
  Speaker 4: put into your Xbox Series X or Xbox One if
• 2:13:03
  Speaker 4: you have an Xbox Series X, like you, Jimmy.
• 2:13:05
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 2:13:05
  Speaker 4: So you don't have a disc drive.
• 2:13:06
  Speaker 3: I do not.
• 2:13:07
  Speaker 4: So you're like thinking, oh, this is kind of useless
• 2:13:09
  Speaker 4: for me. No, you can go on if you have
• 2:13:11
  Speaker 4: an old Xbox, like an Xbox One, Xbox One X,
• 2:13:14
  Speaker 4: you can go put a disc into that Xbox and
• 2:13:17
  Speaker 4: download the digital license still.
• 2:13:18
  Speaker 8: Oh, really? Yes.
• 2:13:19
  Speaker 9: Interesting.
• 2:13:19
  Speaker 4: You can have your physical games on your Xbox, even
• 2:13:22
  Speaker 4: though you don't have a disc drive now.
• 2:13:23
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 2:13:23
  Speaker 4: They are really trying to be like, hey, we care
• 2:13:25
  Speaker 4: about physical gaming, and guess what? You want to put
• 2:13:27
  Speaker 4: your whole catalog onto your Xbox? Go ahead. And the
• 2:13:30
  Speaker 4: best part about it, it's games that you can't even
• 2:13:32
  Speaker 4: buy on the Xbox store anymore.
• 2:13:34
  Speaker 10: Wow.
• 2:13:34
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 2:13:35
  Speaker 2: Unreal.
• 2:13:35
  Speaker 4: It is amazing. Xbox has really turned, like.
• 2:13:38
  Speaker 3: Completely 360. I just saw a big opening. I mean,
• 2:13:40
  Speaker 3: PlayStation or Sony just gave them a gigantic opening to
• 2:13:43
  Speaker 3: do something like this. And that was the fork in
• 2:13:45
  Speaker 3: the road, right? They could, like, say, oh, we see
• 2:13:48
  Speaker 3: you're not going to provide a service. We will provide it.
• 2:13:50
  Speaker 3: Because they could have just said... We're going to do
• 2:13:54
  Speaker 3: the same thing as Sony because then you had no recourse.
• 2:13:58
  Speaker 3: You would have just accepted it. You wouldn't have liked it.
• 2:14:00
  Speaker 3: But instead, if they're going the other way, they're going
• 2:14:03
  Speaker 3: to endear themselves and maybe grow the company more than
• 2:14:07
  Speaker 3: if they went for the cost-saving methods. of giving up
• 2:14:11
  Speaker 3: physical media.
• 2:14:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, things could change, but in the future,
• 2:14:14
  Speaker 4: the Project Helix, the brand new Xbox, it won't have
• 2:14:17
  Speaker 4: a disk drive.
• 2:14:18
  Speaker 3: Right, right, right.
• 2:14:18
  Speaker 4: So this is your way to keep your disk alive,
• 2:14:22
  Speaker 4: even on to further generations.
• 2:14:23
  Speaker 8: Wow, wow.
• 2:14:24
  Speaker 4: Damn, they just keep trying to bend everyone over the barrel.
• 2:14:27
  Speaker 3: And I can tell you, 59 have been trying to
• 2:14:28
  Speaker 3: keep my disk alive for years.
• 2:14:30
  Speaker 5: Oh, boy.
• 2:14:30
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 2:14:32
  Speaker 3: They make pills for that.
• 2:14:33
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 2:14:34
  Speaker 5: Notice the young man is like, dude, I have no
• 2:14:36
  Speaker 5: idea what you're talking about.
• 2:14:37
  Speaker 4: Not even a little bit.
• 2:14:39
  Speaker 3: He won't stop making eye contact, he knows.
• 2:14:40
  Speaker 4: That's because he's sad for you.
• 2:14:43
  Speaker 5: He's really.
• 2:14:44
  Speaker 4: Papa needs help. Oh, and he said it.
• 2:14:49
  Speaker 3: You'll be chewing blue before me, big dog.
• 2:14:51
  Speaker 4: Oh, hey, I don't know about that.
• 2:14:53
  Speaker 2: I'm a young buck, all right? I'm a young buck.
• 2:14:55
  Speaker 4: I'm not going to be chewing no blue, okay?
• 2:14:57
  Speaker 3: What else you got, buddy?
• 2:14:58
  Speaker 2: Another....
• 2:15:01
  Speaker 4: Speaking of all this physical media stuff, another reason Kojima
• 2:15:04
  Speaker 4: left Sony in the first place is he wants his
• 2:15:06
  Speaker 4: game to be physical.
• 2:15:07
  Speaker 3: Can I ask you a quick question about Kojima?
• 2:15:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, what's up?
• 2:15:09
  Speaker 3: Is he a third-party provider or is he an employee
• 2:15:12
  Speaker 3: of these companies?
• 2:15:13
  Speaker 4: He's a third-party.
• 2:15:13
  Speaker 3: So he designs and then sells to the highest bidder
• 2:15:16
  Speaker 3: or sells to the bidder that wants to provide that
• 2:15:18
  Speaker 3: game or whatever, and he's just always had that relationship
• 2:15:20
  Speaker 3: with Sony for a while?
• 2:15:21
  Speaker 4: He's been loyal to Sony from the very beginning. He
• 2:15:24
  Speaker 4: is a genuine Sony fanboy. But not an employee. really
• 2:15:29
  Speaker 4: no no no never been an employee got it he
• 2:15:31
  Speaker 4: just partners with them got it loves their products you
• 2:15:34
  Speaker 4: go back to his old games he puts random sony
• 2:15:37
  Speaker 4: products into his game that's funny yes like he absolutely
• 2:15:40
  Speaker 4: loves sony so they did him dirty oh yeah they
• 2:15:43
  Speaker 4: turned around and just completely shanked him in the back
• 2:15:46
  Speaker 4: wow absolutely just shanked him Yeah, poor guy.
• 2:15:49
  Speaker 3: That's wild. I wonder why they did that.
• 2:15:50
  Speaker 5: Just in case you didn't know, he shanked him right.
• 2:15:53
  Speaker 3: In the back. Maybe they have an eye on a
• 2:15:55
  Speaker 3: designer that's coming up with new stuff because this guy's
• 2:15:57
  Speaker 3: been in the game a minute?
• 2:15:59
  Speaker 4: No, Kojima's legendary. You don't cuss Kojima. But he also
• 2:16:02
  Speaker 4: has had beef with people before. I believe he doesn't
• 2:16:06
  Speaker 4: get along with Sony higher-ups as much as he used
• 2:16:08
  Speaker 4: to back in the day.
• 2:16:09
  Speaker 3: That's a big game.
• 2:16:10
  Speaker 4: It is, but still, he brings you so much money.
• 2:16:12
  Speaker 4: You do what Kojima asks, okay?
• 2:16:14
  Speaker 9: All right, all right.
• 2:16:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Jim. Yeah, yeah, you do what he asks.
• 2:16:17
  Speaker 3: You don't shank him in the back.
• 2:16:19
  Speaker 4: I know Jack. Shank him. Shank him. Shank him. I
• 2:16:22
  Speaker 4: know Jack is going to love this.
• 2:16:26
  Speaker 3: What am I going to love?
• 2:16:26
  Speaker 4: We're going to put that on a t-shirt. Jack, you're
• 2:16:29
  Speaker 4: going to love this story.
• 2:16:30
  Speaker 3: What do you got?
• 2:16:31
  Speaker 4: Cyberpunk 2.
• 2:16:33
  Speaker 9: Really?
• 2:16:33
  Speaker 4: Officially in pre-production with 100 developers working on it as
• 2:16:37
  Speaker 4: we speak. They're out of the concept art phase. While
• 2:16:40
  Speaker 4: they have Witcher 4 going, which is almost wrapped up
• 2:16:43
  Speaker 4: and finished, that's where CD Projekt Red has a majority
• 2:16:47
  Speaker 4: of their developers. But they're at the point where they
• 2:16:49
  Speaker 4: don't need everybody. So Cyberpunk 2 is officially in the works.
• 2:16:52
  Speaker 4: The first Cyberpunk took 12. 12, 13 years. So we're
• 2:16:55
  Speaker 4: hoping that doesn't happen again.
• 2:16:56
  Speaker 1: Oh, really?
• 2:16:57
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 2:16:57
  Speaker 3: And when it came out, it was all glitchy.
• 2:16:59
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 2:16:59
  Speaker 4: We don't talk about that. All right. It is turned
• 2:17:02
  Speaker 4: itself into it.
• 2:17:03
  Speaker 3: Cyberpunk one. One of the best?
• 2:17:05
  Speaker 4: One of my favorite games of all time.
• 2:17:06
  Speaker 10: Really?
• 2:17:06
  Speaker 3: It is. It's a good one? My daughter's favorite game.
• 2:17:08
  Speaker 3: She bought it for me. She's like, Dad, you'll like this.
• 2:17:11
  Speaker 3: It's similar to Grand Theft Auto to a degree. And
• 2:17:15
  Speaker 3: I enjoyed it, but not as much as Red Dead, which-
• 2:17:18
  Speaker 3: Is cyberpunk like post-apocalyptic kind of thing?
• 2:17:21
  Speaker 8: It is.
• 2:17:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay.
• 2:17:22
  Speaker 10: It is.
• 2:17:22
  Speaker 3: And it kind of gave me the fear that I
• 2:17:24
  Speaker 3: think I might not enjoy Grand Theft Auto 6 as
• 2:17:28
  Speaker 3: much as I like Red Dead Redemption 2.
• 2:17:31
  Speaker 4: I feel that same way with you.
• 2:17:32
  Speaker 8: Really?
• 2:17:32
  Speaker 3: I'm kind of- resigning myself yeah.
• 2:17:35
  Speaker 4: And uh i saw this story today about gta6 they
• 2:17:38
  Speaker 4: apparently have like these privacy screens now in their offices
• 2:17:41
  Speaker 4: so drones can't look into the mirrors i yeah get
• 2:17:45
  Speaker 4: out of here okay i don't know if anyone's actually
• 2:17:47
  Speaker 4: throwing throwing drones like stars cia stuff i know dude
• 2:17:52
  Speaker 4: i think they're going a little too.
• 2:17:53
  Speaker 5: Extreme oh that makes sense though you can't okay listen.
• 2:17:56
  Speaker 4: You can't even clean up your whole digital side and
• 2:17:58
  Speaker 4: you're worried about someone putting a drone in your window
• 2:18:00
  Speaker 4: i don't think anyone's putting drones in your window.
• 2:18:02
  Speaker 3: You talk to our boy danny from fretlocker He says
• 2:18:05
  Speaker 3: they pineapple people by flying drones outside of office windows.
• 2:18:08
  Speaker 4: All the time.
• 2:18:08
  Speaker 3: To pineapple their IP. Seriously? As a hard time.
• 2:18:13
  Speaker 4: This is a real thing?
• 2:18:14
  Speaker 3: He's a cyber threat security firm. One of the biggest
• 2:18:17
  Speaker 3: in the world. They were right over here for a while.
• 2:18:19
  Speaker 3: When they would do their big conferences and try to
• 2:18:21
  Speaker 3: hire new employees, he would float a drone outside the
• 2:18:25
  Speaker 3: window of the meeting room and steal people's IPs from
• 2:18:28
  Speaker 3: their phones and hack their phones while they were sitting there, dude.
• 2:18:31
  Speaker 8: Stop!
• 2:18:32
  Speaker 4: That's insane.
• 2:18:33
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 2:18:33
  Speaker 4: I'm serious. My little brain saw this story and just
• 2:18:36
  Speaker 4: laughed at it. I was like, oh, this is going
• 2:18:37
  Speaker 4: to be a funny bit.
• 2:18:38
  Speaker 3: I can bring it up real quick.
• 2:18:38
  Speaker 5: And by the way, AI is going to kill us
• 2:18:40
  Speaker 5: by 2030. But other than that.
• 2:18:42
  Speaker 4: Nothing to see here. The Terminator coming?
• 2:18:43
  Speaker 3: By the way, has AI, I mean, it's still being
• 2:18:46
  Speaker 3: designed by humans? Like, AI hasn't taken over the video game, like, design?
• 2:18:51
  Speaker 4: You just turned on my brain. I don't even know
• 2:18:52
  Speaker 4: how I forgot about this. DLSS5 is the shader for games,
• 2:18:58
  Speaker 4: and it's completely AI. I need you to, at some
• 2:19:00
  Speaker 4: point today, you need to look up what this does
• 2:19:02
  Speaker 4: to video games.
• 2:19:03
  Speaker 18: Oh, really?
• 2:19:03
  Speaker 3: It's disgusting. It makes them 3D almost, right?
• 2:19:06
  Speaker 4: It makes everything. It depends.
• 2:19:07
  Speaker 3: Is it depth?
• 2:19:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it makes it look like real life.
• 2:19:09
  Speaker 3: Right, right, right.
• 2:19:10
  Speaker 4: It looks like I'm in the game. And if you
• 2:19:12
  Speaker 4: do it on the newer games, it's not as bad.
• 2:19:15
  Speaker 4: But you go back to those older games on the 360,
• 2:19:18
  Speaker 4: even the PlayStation 2, oh, my God, it's nightmare food.
• 2:19:21
  Speaker 3: Is it really?
• 2:19:21
  Speaker 4: These things look disgusting.
• 2:19:23
  Speaker 3: Disgusting. Makes me want to shake them.
• 2:19:26
  Speaker 4: Shake them.
• 2:19:26
  Speaker 8: Shake them.
• 2:19:28
  Speaker 3: Always good seeing you, buddy. You guys get a laugh
• 2:19:29

• 2:19:35
  Speaker 4: Jaden Grimes, 96.9 across all social medias.
• 2:19:37
  Speaker 3: Very good. All right. Deb, you heard it here first?
• 2:19:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, refining capacity is what's being blamed for pump prices. Finally,
• 2:19:44
  Speaker 5: some good news about that cyclosporiasis outbreak and another honor
• 2:19:49
  Speaker 5: for the late, great Dolly Parton. We'll talk about that
• 2:19:51
  Speaker 5: next during You Heard It Here First.
• 2:19:53
  Speaker 3: You got it. Let's take a little break. We'll come
• 2:19:54
  Speaker 3: back and get Deb's news and get the hell out
• 2:19:56
  Speaker 3: of here on a Friday.
• 2:20:03
  Speaker 1: It's time for a Talkback Purge on The Jim Colbert Show.
• 2:20:09
  Speaker 8: Hey, Jimmy.
• 2:20:09
  Speaker 20: Michael P checking in. I'm going to teach you how
• 2:20:11
  Speaker 20: to play craps in like 20 seconds. So basically, the
• 2:20:14
  Speaker 20: most common number with two dice is seven. So you're
• 2:20:17
  Speaker 20: either betting seven to hit or not to hit. The
• 2:20:20
  Speaker 20: great thing is if you bet seven not to hit,
• 2:20:22
  Speaker 20: you can leave those bets out there and they can
• 2:20:24
  Speaker 20: keep hitting over and over and over and over again.
• 2:20:27
  Speaker 20: But once the seven hasn't hit for a while, time
• 2:20:30
  Speaker 20: to pull them back because it's coming. Wait for it
• 2:20:32
  Speaker 20: to hit and then reload.
• 2:20:34
  Speaker 3: Great show. Have a great weekend.
• 2:20:35
  Speaker 2: Love you guys.
• 2:20:35
  Speaker 3: Thank you, buddy. Appreciate that.
• 2:20:37
  Speaker 4: I just snickered the word crap.
• 2:20:38
  Speaker 3: What it do, Clover Creek?
• 2:20:40
  Speaker 11: Oh, Lord.
• 2:20:42
  Speaker 3: You know, your favorite tea bag is Rockledge.
• 2:20:47
  Speaker 10: Right?
• 2:20:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm traveled again.
• 2:20:49
  Speaker 4: I'm tiny here.
• 2:20:53
  Speaker 18: But we raise a beer to.
• 2:20:57
  Speaker 3: Whatever. Well, I guess we'll never forget. Watch the happy
• 2:21:01
  Speaker 3: birthday scene, Link.
• 2:21:03
  Speaker 4: Also, Hot Cross Buns Day.
• 2:21:05
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 2:21:06
  Speaker 19: Happy Gun Show.
• 2:21:08
  Speaker 3: That was a tough one. That was a tough one.
• 2:21:11
  Speaker 18: Jimmy.
• 2:21:12
  Speaker 15: Today, somebody on the Monsters in the Morning made my day.
• 2:21:18
  Speaker 15: They were actually talking about my islands, and he really
• 2:21:21
  Speaker 15: did love it. He went with the Sheik to Seychelles.
• 2:21:25
  Speaker 15: Five star, and he was goo-goo-ga-ga about it. And that
• 2:21:30
  Speaker 15: was a big compliment.
• 2:21:31
  Speaker 10: Oh, Jimmy.
• 2:21:32
  Speaker 15: I'm still glowing in that compliment. Maybe you should all
• 2:21:36
  Speaker 15: go down to Seychelles just for basic.
• 2:21:38
  Speaker 9: Sure.
• 2:21:40
  Speaker 3: Hey, it's Mike from Umatilla.
• 2:21:41
  Speaker 18: I had a thought really that's really troubled me.
• 2:21:45
  Speaker 4: And since it's picked the porn, this is appropriate.
• 2:21:50
  Speaker 3: If there's water inside a watermelon, then what's inside a kumquat?
• 2:22:02
  Speaker 2: Hey guys, happy Friday.
• 2:22:03
  Speaker 4: So you remember the dog that you had in studio
• 2:22:05
  Speaker 4: the other day, Commander?
• 2:22:06
  Speaker 14: Well, that dude was on Good Day Orlando this morning.
• 2:22:09
  Speaker 14: And he's like a local celebrity now. And I actually
• 2:22:11
  Speaker 14: just got the chance to meet him. And my wife
• 2:22:14
  Speaker 14: met him. And my son met him. And tomorrow, we're
• 2:22:18
  Speaker 14: going to take my dog to meet him. And I
• 2:22:21
  Speaker 14: truly think that tomorrow.
• 2:22:23
  Speaker 4: Is going to be a big day for all of us.
• 2:22:26
  Speaker 3: Stay tuned. Yay!
• 2:22:28
  Speaker 4: Get that meatball a home.
• 2:22:30
  Speaker 3: Dude, you are going to love.
• 2:22:32
  Speaker 5: Oh, and Commander's going to love them.
• 2:22:35
  Speaker 8: Yeah, he is.
• 2:22:35
  Speaker 5: That would be the best forever home for him.
• 2:22:38
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's awesome.
• 2:22:38
  Speaker 3: Johnny's a good guy. Got a good family, man.
• 2:22:40
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
• 2:22:40
  Speaker 3: He's got a new place.
• 2:22:41
  Speaker 8: Yep.
• 2:22:42
  Speaker 3: Perfect to put a dog in.
• 2:22:43
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 2:22:44
  Speaker 3: Congratulations, buddy.
• 2:22:45
  Speaker 4: Oh, that's so cool.
• 2:22:46
  Speaker 3: Make sure you send us some pictures, Johnny. I want
• 2:22:47
  Speaker 3: to make sure we see that and put that up.
• 2:22:49
  Speaker 3: That's very cool.
• 2:22:50
  Speaker 4: That is cool.
• 2:22:51
  Speaker 3: All right, 407-916-1041. Text us 77031. Welcome back to the
• 2:22:55
  Speaker 3: Jim Colbert Show. I am Jim. There's Deb.
• 2:22:57
  Speaker 2: Hello.
• 2:22:57
  Speaker 3: Jack is here as well. Hello. Let's do You Heard
• 2:22:59
  Speaker 3: It Here First.
• 2:23:02
  Speaker 2: It's time for You Heard It Here First on the
• 2:23:04
  Speaker 2: Jim Colbert Show.
• 2:23:05
  Speaker 4: No, we need to hear it from you.
• 2:23:07
  Speaker 3: I told Jack that he could keep the bottle of
• 2:23:09
  Speaker 3: whiskey today.
• 2:23:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:23:10
  Speaker 3: Jack came in during that break and got a bottle
• 2:23:12
  Speaker 3: of whiskey.
• 2:23:12
  Speaker 8: Ah.
• 2:23:13
  Speaker 5: I was sitting here and actually saw the flash.
• 2:23:15
  Speaker 3: Did he slink in?
• 2:23:16
  Speaker 4: Oh, he didn't slink.
• 2:23:18
  Speaker 3: I drank half of it already.
• 2:23:19
  Speaker 4: He ran in. Now you do your hello.
• 2:23:21
  Speaker 3: Hello. Okay, all right.
• 2:23:23
  Speaker 5: Diesel prices are surging. We had a talk back earlier,
• 2:23:28
  Speaker 5: that poor guy. David Holt with the Texas-based Consumer Energy
• 2:23:31
  Speaker 5: Alliance points to a decline in refineries.
• 2:23:35
  Speaker 3: The tighter the refinery margins and capacity, then the more
• 2:23:39
  Speaker 3: diesel costs.
• 2:23:40
  Speaker 5: Well, and it turns out, he says, back in the 1980s,
• 2:23:42
  Speaker 5: the country had 350 refineries, and now it's down to
• 2:23:47
  Speaker 5: just 130. And California, he says, just got rid of two.
• 2:23:51
  Speaker 5: The gas tracking website GasBuddy says diesel has crossed the
• 2:23:56
  Speaker 5: $ 6 a gallon mark nationally and on the West Coast.
• 2:24:00
  Speaker 5: The signs at some stations are maxed out at $ 9. 99
• 2:24:04
  Speaker 5: a gallon.
• 2:24:05
  Speaker 3: My uncle just posted on Facebook a few minutes ago.
• 2:24:08
  Speaker 3: He drives back and forth to North Florida for his job.
• 2:24:11
  Speaker 3: He just paid $ 6. 39 a gallon. Damn.
• 2:24:15
  Speaker 8: Wow.
• 2:24:15
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 2:24:16
  Speaker 5: The good news, if you've been waiting to have a salad,
• 2:24:18
  Speaker 5: the cyclosporiasis outbreak is over. The CDC announced today that
• 2:24:22
  Speaker 5: the largest ever outbreak of the foodborne illness sickened nearly
• 2:24:26
  Speaker 5: 20,000 people overall. Health officials linked it to shredded iceberg
• 2:24:32
  Speaker 5: lettuce supplied by Taylor Farms in Mexico. It fueled the
• 2:24:35
  Speaker 5: worst cyclosporiasis season in U.S. history and included two deaths,
• 2:24:40
  Speaker 5: both in the epicenter of the biggest outbreak in Michigan.
• 2:24:44
  Speaker 4: And then finally... Working.
• 2:24:45
  Speaker 5: Nine to five, what a way to make a living.
• 2:24:51
  Speaker 4: Sing it, Jimmy.
• 2:24:52
  Speaker 3: Get it, Queen.
• 2:24:53
  Speaker 5: Nashville International Airport is another step closer to being renamed
• 2:24:57
  Speaker 5: in honor of the late Dolly Parton. The Metropolitan Nashville
• 2:25:00
  Speaker 5: Airport Authority Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to move forward
• 2:25:05
  Speaker 5: with the plan. A final name hasn't been chosen. Tennessee
• 2:25:08
  Speaker 5: Governor Bill Lee said he wanted to see the airport
• 2:25:11
  Speaker 5: named after Parton following her death last month. And you
• 2:25:14
  Speaker 5: heard it here first on the Jim Colbert Show.
• 2:25:16
  Speaker 3: Let's stay right there one second. My wife was telling
• 2:25:18
  Speaker 3: me yesterday that she was reading a piece from Stella Parton.
• 2:25:22
  Speaker 3: I guess that's her sister.
• 2:25:23
  Speaker 4: Yes, your sister, yeah.
• 2:25:24
  Speaker 3: Did you hear how many people from the country music
• 2:25:26
  Speaker 3: world in Tennessee and around reached out to her to
• 2:25:29
  Speaker 3: give her her condolences?
• 2:25:31
  Speaker 5: No. I was reading this article yesterday, yeah.
• 2:25:34
  Speaker 3: Do you hear how many?
• 2:25:35
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah. I think I had read to you. It's one.
• 2:25:38
  Speaker 4: It was one or two, right?
• 2:25:40
  Speaker 5: What I had read was that Stella said that she
• 2:25:42
  Speaker 5: hasn't heard from anyone in Nashville.
• 2:25:45
  Speaker 3: And then a story today confirms why. We know for
• 2:25:48
  Speaker 3: a fact that Dolly had embraced the LGBTQ community, which
• 2:25:51
  Speaker 3: really ruffles those feathers, right? She really didn't kind of
• 2:25:55
  Speaker 3: hold true to the country music kind of ethos that
• 2:25:59
  Speaker 3: a lot of those guys and girls kind of spit
• 2:26:01
  Speaker 3: out there. But she also revealed today that she paid
• 2:26:04
  Speaker 3: for her driver that has driven her around for decades,
• 2:26:08
  Speaker 3: paid for his transition.
• 2:26:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, gender-affirming care.
• 2:26:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so, I mean, now, I was wrong completely. I
• 2:26:14
  Speaker 3: thought that the country music world would pour out of
• 2:26:17
  Speaker 3: the seams to help her out, but I was completely wrong.
• 2:26:19
  Speaker 3: The things she supported, they were vehemently against and did
• 2:26:23
  Speaker 3: not support her in there at all, even though she's
• 2:26:25
  Speaker 3: a legend and helped all those people make a living
• 2:26:28
  Speaker 3: over the years.
• 2:26:28
  Speaker 5: Well, screw her, or screw them, because the country loves her.
• 2:26:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, they do, whether you like it or not.
• 2:26:33
  Speaker 10: Exactly.
• 2:26:33
  Speaker 3: Who do we have to thank today, young lady?
• 2:26:34
  Speaker 5: We want to thank Attorney Mo DeWitt for saucing up
• 2:26:37
  Speaker 5: our Fridays. Thank you so much, Mo. Also want to

  Speaker 4: Thanks, ladies.
• 2:27:09
  Speaker 3: Appreciate that, as we do every day of the week.
• 2:27:10
  Speaker 3: I'm very excited about this question of the day. So
• 2:27:14
  Speaker 3: the question of the day basically was, do you still
• 2:27:16
  Speaker 3: get a paper paycheck, right?
• 2:27:18
  Speaker 9: Correct.
• 2:27:18
  Speaker 3: Physical paycheck. Yeah, because I read a story today that
• 2:27:20
  Speaker 3: said that people have a, there's this weird disconnect that
• 2:27:23
  Speaker 3: back in the day when you got your paycheck, it
• 2:27:25
  Speaker 3: actually made you feel good. People don't have that same
• 2:27:28
  Speaker 3: vibe these days. I think I said that, what'd you say,
• 2:27:32
  Speaker 3: no more than 3%? No, I said less than 10%.
• 2:27:35
  Speaker 3: So you're, you say 90% say they, they do not
• 2:27:38
  Speaker 3: get a paper paycheck.
• 2:27:39
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 2:27:40
  Speaker 3: What do you think, Deb? Yeah, I'll go.
• 2:27:42
  Speaker 4: I'll go about 7%.
• 2:27:43
  Speaker 5: I will go 21% still get paper paychecks.
• 2:27:44
  Speaker 17: 11%.
• 2:27:50
