- 1:23Speaker 2: a poll from the eclipse that is dominating the news
- 1:26Speaker 2: that we don't get to see?
- 1:27Speaker 6: A true story. I didn't know there was an eclipse
- 1:30Speaker 6: until about ninety minutes. Yeah, but I gotta tell you,
- 1:32Speaker 6: and so I put it on the screen.
- 1:33Speaker 2: He literally logged onto any website. I was like, I
- 1:35Speaker 2: looked at Debra and I said, this thing is crushing
- 1:37Speaker 2: the news today and we aren't going to see a
- 1:40Speaker 2: not one beam of it.
- 1:41Speaker 7: No, it's like making an entire horseshoe around us. It's Iceland, Greenland, Spain, Russia.
- 1:47Speaker 2: I'm reading all these great stories about all this wonderful experience.
- 1:50Speaker 2: The rest of the world's going to have.
- 1:52Speaker 6: Guess what our listeners get it as well, because it's
- 1:55Speaker 6: in our fourth box on on YouTube.
- 1:57Speaker 3: There you go.
- 1:57Speaker 2: I thought it was fake. Yeah, that's actual happening right now.
- 2:00Speaker 2: That that's it. Damn really that's great. That looks fake, dude, Okay,
- 2:04Speaker 2: I mean but look how you look, how perfectly orange
- 2:07Speaker 2: that is?
- 2:07Speaker 4: Right?
- 2:08Speaker 7: Well, what is creepy, you guys, is not only do
- 2:11Speaker 7: we have a partial solar eclipse, we also have the
- 2:15Speaker 7: Percied meteor shower tonight. We have a six planet alignment tonight.
- 2:21Speaker 7: But there's nothing.
- 2:23Speaker 2: Like a celestial Christmas thing.
- 2:25Speaker 3: There's nothing biblical about this, y'all. Just relax.
- 2:28Speaker 2: Yeah, if you notice a bunch of frogs run right. Yeah,
- 2:34Speaker 2: it's a I like stuff like that. Oh yeah, that's cool.
- 2:38Speaker 2: Did you see the photograph making the line rounds today
- 2:40Speaker 2: of the guy who took the photograph of the milky
- 2:42Speaker 2: with his iPhone? No, it's like a It's like it
- 2:45Speaker 2: looks like a telescope photograph and it is straight up
- 2:48Speaker 2: from his iPhone. I've never had an experience like that.
- 2:50Speaker 2: I gotta go out west, I guess right, are you?
- 2:52Speaker 2: You gotta go out west like in the Midwest and
- 2:54Speaker 2: be able to see those big because no, bef it sucks,
- 2:58Speaker 2: just haze.
- 3:00Speaker 3: We have a place in a we have a dark sky.
- 3:05Speaker 2: That's it.
- 3:06Speaker 7: So again, you have to meet certain criteria for you
- 3:09Speaker 7: to be designated a dark sky. Kasimi Prairie State Preserve
- 3:13Speaker 7: has been designated a dark sky park. So it's no
- 3:18Speaker 7: but a lot of astronomers and photographers will go and
- 3:20Speaker 7: hang out there because you can see the Milky Way.
- 3:23Speaker 2: Now that's a party. Now that is a party. I
- 3:28Speaker 2: don't care about the sky stuff. I just want to
- 3:29Speaker 2: hand with those people.
- 3:30Speaker 7: I mean, well, they have primitive camping, so they have
- 3:34Speaker 7: I believe they have our f the sites. But they
- 3:37Speaker 7: have glamping, so they have glamping available there as well
- 3:40Speaker 7: as well primitive camping opportunities.
- 3:42Speaker 2: But you don't have me as a primitive camping guy. Me,
- 3:46Speaker 2: I didn't ask you. Oh wait, you're asking her as
- 3:51Speaker 2: you don't have me as a primitive camping guy.
- 3:53Speaker 7: I've only ever heard you speak of pooping in an RV.
- 3:56Speaker 7: I've never heard you talk about putting an air mattress.
- 3:59Speaker 8: On the ground.
- 4:04Speaker 2: You know what it took to spoil me of a
- 4:05Speaker 2: primitive camping experience.
- 4:07Speaker 9: Man.
- 4:07Speaker 2: We were out in the Okaal National Forest with my
- 4:09Speaker 2: whole crew, and the whole crew, like I think the
- 4:11Speaker 2: oldest one at the time was probably ten, you know, ten, eleven,
- 4:14Speaker 2: twelve years old, whatever it was.
- 4:15Speaker 3: Oh, that's a good time.
- 4:16Speaker 2: We're out there and we set up camp. Man. I
- 4:18Speaker 2: gotta tell you, I love camping as much as I
- 4:20Speaker 2: love anything in the world. I love it. Right, and
- 4:23Speaker 2: we're out there, got set up, tents are set up,
- 4:25Speaker 2: everybody set up. The kids had their own little tent
- 4:26Speaker 2: right next to us with the the like the opening
- 4:29Speaker 2: was right there so they could have their own experience.
- 4:31Speaker 2: Oh yeah, forage for firewood, the whole nine yards.
- 4:35Speaker 3: Oh yeah, good time.
- 4:36Speaker 2: As we go a little exploring these trails. It's great.
- 4:39Speaker 2: By the way, this is a wonderful little like out
- 4:41Speaker 2: of the way campground up in the Ocaana National Forest.
- 4:44Speaker 2: It's really cool. By the way, you got a lake
- 4:46Speaker 2: attached to it as well. And uh, the guy next
- 4:49Speaker 2: door to us is this old grizzled dude. It looks
- 4:51Speaker 2: like pretty much he gets his mail there, right he goes, uh,
- 4:55Speaker 2: he goes. You guys prepping for the storm. Oh boy,
- 4:58Speaker 2: and I said, prepping for the storm. Yeah, we're supposed
- 5:00Speaker 2: to have a little cold front come to the night supposed
- 5:02Speaker 2: to get a little gnarly. I go, really, he goes, uh,
- 5:05Speaker 2: he goes, you guys are ready for it? And I go, well,
- 5:06Speaker 2: I mean, buddy, listen, this is the first I've heard
- 5:08Speaker 2: of this storm. I mean, how solid is this? He goes,
- 5:10Speaker 2: I don't know, man, whether Goud says it's pretty solid.
- 5:13Speaker 2: So you know, there's no iPhones at this time. You
- 5:15Speaker 2: can't go in there and check out the and even
- 5:18Speaker 2: then during the middle of the Calinational forest, you know,
- 5:21Speaker 2: even if you did have it. But let me tell
- 5:23Speaker 2: you about one o'clock that morning, it went from about
- 5:27Speaker 2: your nice sixty one degrees to about forty degrees, pouring
- 5:32Speaker 2: freezing rain so hard it actually collapsed our tents. We
- 5:37Speaker 2: were in a giant Foda excursion at the time, so
- 5:40Speaker 2: we literally piled all the kids into the car, turned
- 5:43Speaker 2: it on, and then instead of wrapping up our camping thing,
- 5:46Speaker 2: we just literally unstaked the tent and just wrapped all
- 5:49Speaker 2: of it into the tent in a big ball and
- 5:52Speaker 2: threw it into the throw it in the truck. That
- 5:54Speaker 2: was a nightmare. Have not primitive to camp since that day?
- 5:57Speaker 7: Well, wow, I don't know if you guys have seen
- 6:00Speaker 7: the story recently of a woman who was sitting around
- 6:03Speaker 7: a campfire with her kids when she had suffered several
- 6:08Speaker 7: spider bites. Oh no, really turned out there were several
- 6:12Speaker 7: round recluse. Oh no, yeah, so I mean there came
- 6:15Speaker 7: a point where doctors she had so many those spider bites. Yeah,
- 6:19Speaker 7: they gave her days to a month left to live.
- 6:21Speaker 7: What Yeah, exactly did it wind up killing it?
- 6:24Speaker 3: Didn't?
- 6:24Speaker 7: She still needs like a liver transplant, because I mean
- 6:27Speaker 7: she had some underlying health issues. But man, just reading
- 6:31Speaker 7: that alone, I was like, you know what, I'm good
- 6:33Speaker 7: for a thrill in the backyard, you know.
- 6:36Speaker 2: I mean, that's the smartest audience in all of Central
- 6:39Speaker 2: FIDA Radio as well. Now, so do you guys have
- 6:42Speaker 2: have you guys seen an influx of bugs in your house?
- 6:45Speaker 2: Roaches or spiders or anything like that. Nope, but let
- 6:48Speaker 2: me tell you we've had a weird thing happen. Not
- 6:50Speaker 2: so much roaches. You can see a couple of those
- 6:52Speaker 2: around whatever, right, But man, we have had more spider
- 6:56Speaker 2: sightings in our house over the last like three months
- 6:59Speaker 2: than we've had ever like living in this house. We've
- 7:02Speaker 2: been here like two and a half years and for
- 7:04Speaker 2: some reason, just out of nowhere, we started finding spiders
- 7:07Speaker 2: in our house. Now, it's not like it's not like
- 7:09Speaker 2: a movie or anything, but you know, you find one
- 7:11Speaker 2: or two every other day, and you know, we got
- 7:14Speaker 2: some spooked spider people in the house. Yeah, they're not big,
- 7:18Speaker 2: they're not big spider fans.
- 7:19Speaker 3: They could be searching for water.
- 7:21Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what it says. But I didn't know if
- 7:22Speaker 2: there was like a certain season or something where spiders
- 7:25Speaker 2: kind of are more active than other seasons or whatever,
- 7:28Speaker 2: or if there's a certain weather anomaly if it gets
- 7:30Speaker 2: too hot, do they seek shade or whatever. I mean,
- 7:33Speaker 2: I can't imagine there's a water shortage anywhere in this area. Well,
- 7:36Speaker 2: and I know that we've been a bit of a drought.
- 7:37Speaker 7: But I mean, I mean, I mean a bit of
- 7:39Speaker 7: a drought. It was one of the worst in the
- 7:41Speaker 7: last twenty eight years. But yeah, it's a bit of
- 7:43Speaker 7: a drought.
- 7:43Speaker 2: What I'm saying is spider spider's not like, you know,
- 7:45Speaker 2: loaded up to the keg. You know, it's a spider.
- 7:47Speaker 2: I mean much water can a spider drink?
- 7:49Speaker 7: You know, I mean enough that if it's searching for
- 7:51Speaker 7: water and it has young, it may know that your
- 7:54Speaker 7: holt because it probably can hear it or feel it.
- 7:56Speaker 3: And here's and is following it to the source.
- 7:58Speaker 6: And eating the bugs. That's why you've had no bugs
- 8:00Speaker 6: because you have spiders.
- 8:01Speaker 2: And that's the problem I have, Like I have people
- 8:03Speaker 2: in my house spook by spiders and they want the
- 8:05Speaker 2: spiders gone. But we're like, well, it's like having a
- 8:08Speaker 2: black snake around your house.
- 8:10Speaker 10: Right.
- 8:10Speaker 2: It's a little creepy, but you understand the black snake
- 8:13Speaker 2: has a specific goal, and it's to kill all the
- 8:16Speaker 2: rodents around your house.
- 8:17Speaker 7: Unless you like the sound of rodents eating at your
- 8:19Speaker 7: insulation or your yeah, your wires.
- 8:22Speaker 3: People say, rainy season is really what's causing you to
- 8:25Speaker 3: see more activity. Okay, I was wondering if it was
- 8:27Speaker 3: dry or wet, which one was it.
- 8:29Speaker 2: And it's funny because we haven't had that steady summer
- 8:31Speaker 2: rain that we usually get in the afternoons. We have
- 8:33Speaker 2: either it is it is one hundred and thirty five
- 8:36Speaker 2: degrees it is right now, or it's raining so hard
- 8:38Speaker 2: it's rattling your slacks, which is what we had out
- 8:40Speaker 2: the other day. But we just can't figure it out,
- 8:43Speaker 2: and we're gonna have some people come out and check
- 8:45Speaker 2: it out and see what we can do. We're gonna
- 8:47Speaker 2: try to see well, we're gonna try to seal the
- 8:48Speaker 2: house up first.
- 8:49Speaker 10: You know.
- 8:50Speaker 2: We take that expanding foam stuff, the most magical stuff
- 8:52Speaker 2: ever until you get it on your hands, reminds me.
- 8:57Speaker 2: I have to use it. I'll wear gloves. Yeah, you
- 8:58Speaker 2: need to wear gloves. Don't have don't ever use that
- 9:00Speaker 2: stuff about gloves. It is gnarly. It does not come off.
- 9:04Speaker 2: I don't care what anybody says. You just have to
- 9:06Speaker 2: wait for it to grind off. It feels like a
- 9:11Speaker 2: second skin that you know is doing no good for
- 9:13Speaker 2: your body.
- 9:14Speaker 3: When you shed that outer layer, that's when you lose it.

- 15:04Speaker 11: Got the Peak of the Percy at meteor show.
- 15:07Speaker 2: Oh, I gotta go.
- 15:08Speaker 3: I'm busy. Paint Lambs blood on the top of my door.
- 15:10Speaker 2: Face.
- 15:12Speaker 3: That's actually not a bad idea of my friend.
- 15:14Speaker 2: Yeah, and here's another one. The lady. Hey, Jimmy, I
- 15:19Speaker 2: live in the same area as you. Go out into
- 15:20Speaker 2: your yard at night with a headlamp, but look around.
- 15:22Speaker 2: The eyeshine will shock you. Thousands of spiders. Oh, we'll
- 15:27Speaker 2: come around. They will attach to your shoes. My response
- 15:30Speaker 2: was all caps. Nope, hard pass for your boy. I
- 15:36Speaker 2: don't want spiders shoes. I'm fine with just my vans.
- 15:39Speaker 2: It'll be fun. Welcome back. I'm Jim. There's Jack and
- 15:42Speaker 2: Deb has your news.
- 15:45Speaker 1: It's time for JCS news. Wow, this guy kind of
- 15:50Speaker 1: put his name on everything. It's in my contracted here's
- 15:52Speaker 1: the news on the Jim Colber Show.
- 15:55Speaker 7: And as always, JCS News is brought to you by
- 15:58Speaker 7: that mortgage guy down tropical storm.
- 16:01Speaker 3: How did you say it, Crystal Bal.
- 16:03Speaker 2: Yeah, it's Crystabal Crystal Ball. I think so.
- 16:05Speaker 3: I yesterday I said kritistobul.
- 16:07Speaker 7: That's that area has formed in the subtropical Atlanta, affecting y'all, okay,
- 16:15Speaker 7: pretty stoble, affecting only shipping lanes now. According to the
- 16:19Speaker 7: National Hurricane Center in Miami, Senior meteorologist John Kenjielosi, sustained
- 16:24Speaker 7: winds are forty five miles per hour and it is
- 16:26Speaker 7: moving east away from the US at twenty five miles
- 16:30Speaker 7: per hour.
- 16:30Speaker 3: But that's not the only good news.
- 16:32Speaker 12: Crystal Ball is going to be a shortlist system. Actually
- 16:35Speaker 12: is probably peaking now, and we're expecting it to just
- 16:37Speaker 12: kind of weaken and probably dissipate around this time tomorrow.
- 16:40Speaker 12: Not expected to effect lands, and not expected to be
- 16:43Speaker 12: around much water.
- 16:44Speaker 7: Meanwhile, an area of disturbance in the central Tropical Atlantic
- 16:48Speaker 7: has an eighty percent chance of becoming the fourth named
- 16:51Speaker 7: storm Dolly by the weekend. I'm just going to go
- 16:54Speaker 7: out on a m and say they're just there. Can't
- 16:56Speaker 7: be any way that a storm named Dolly could be
- 16:58Speaker 7: anything other than sweet.
- 17:00Speaker 2: No, no, yeah, yah, yeah, yeah. It's going to come
- 17:02Speaker 2: in and sing as a sweet little song and then
- 17:03Speaker 2: you just move on. You gonta wreck everything. Oh no,
- 17:06Speaker 2: it can't.
- 17:08Speaker 6: It's too dev it's too nice. No, no, it's a
- 17:10Speaker 6: top heavy storm. It's gonna costant damage.
- 17:14Speaker 3: Let's so from some wind shear, right, tip it over
- 17:16Speaker 3: from the top. Yeah, all right.
- 17:17Speaker 7: It's moving westward, followed by another wave with a thirty
- 17:20Speaker 7: percent chance of formation. Nearly all of Florida is under
- 17:25Speaker 7: a heat advisory again. Today is dangerous temperatures and high
- 17:28Speaker 7: humidity settle over the Sunshine State. So yesterday we talked
- 17:32Speaker 7: about sixty two out of Florida's sixty seven counties. The
- 17:35Speaker 7: National Weather Service has issued advisories. How many today out
- 17:39Speaker 7: of sixty seven counties in Florida.
- 17:41Speaker 2: Well, yesterday it was sixty two, right, yeah, sixty five
- 17:46Speaker 2: saying I'm picking that, Well, that's what I picked yesterday,
- 17:48Speaker 2: sixty five, sixty five.
- 17:50Speaker 7: I'll go sixty four points jack sixty four out of
- 17:54Speaker 7: florida sixty seven counties, covering about ninety five percent of
- 18:00Speaker 7: the stick at oh, I know. Right now it is
- 18:05Speaker 7: ninety five degrees with a feel like temperature of one
- 18:08Speaker 7: hundred and six. Again, heat index values are expected to
- 18:10Speaker 7: reach anywhere between one oh six to one twelve in
- 18:13Speaker 7: many areas, including south central and North Florida. The only
- 18:16Speaker 7: counties not under a heat advisory today are in the
- 18:20Speaker 7: western panandle.
- 18:21Speaker 2: Now I'm gonna ask you something I don't know. If
- 18:22Speaker 2: you do, you have the Amazon story.
- 18:24Speaker 3: It's my next one. Go ahead.
- 18:26Speaker 7: Yeah, So, because that's that's what leads me to worry.
- 18:29Speaker 7: Right when I saw this yesterday, it's like, oh, you
- 18:31Speaker 7: worry about these delivery drivers.
- 18:33Speaker 2: Yeah, insane. But they did not give it. They didn't
- 18:35Speaker 2: say what caused it. But that's the first thing I thought.
- 18:38Speaker 3: I mean, I was thinking heart attack brought on?
- 18:40Speaker 2: I mean, what happened. An investigation is underway. Just give
- 18:44Speaker 2: us a second. I know, an.
- 18:46Speaker 7: Investigation is underway after a woman was found dead in
- 18:49Speaker 7: Lake County. The Sheriff's office as it. Amazon delivery driver
- 18:53Speaker 7: was found unresponsive and unconscious in her truck Monday on
- 18:57Speaker 7: Clark Road in Fruitland Park. Now, she was take in
- 19:00Speaker 7: the hospital where she was pronounced dead. There's no word
- 19:03Speaker 7: on how she died. But again, yesterday was another one
- 19:06Speaker 7: of those days where they'd issued a heat advisory until
- 19:08Speaker 7: eight pm. I mean, and you just think if you
- 19:12Speaker 7: have any kind of an eight hour shift, depending on
- 19:14Speaker 7: what kind of like water or weather breaks are built
- 19:17Speaker 7: into that, depending on what age you are, your your
- 19:19Speaker 7: fitness level, pre existing situations.
- 19:22Speaker 2: I mean, and aren't the the Amazon vans aren't they
- 19:25Speaker 2: one of the few companies that actually a se those vans.
- 19:28Speaker 7: I think it depends on the truck that you drive.
- 19:30Speaker 7: But then again, I don't know if it even matters
- 19:32Speaker 7: if you're going in and out of cold lifting heavy
- 19:35Speaker 7: boxers going through that heat and humidity. But like you, Jimmy,
- 19:38Speaker 7: when I saw this story yesterday, my first thought was, Oh,
- 19:41Speaker 7: I hope it wasn't the heat man.
- 19:42Speaker 3: That's the first thing I thought, Yeah, exactly.
- 19:45Speaker 7: Another story that we had kind of touched on yesterday
- 19:47Speaker 7: but didn't really have a lot of details. A man
- 19:49Speaker 7: accused of killing a Good Samaritan is in custody in
- 19:53Speaker 7: Orange County. And this is another one of those stories
- 19:55Speaker 7: that makes you say, well, what the hell was he
- 19:57Speaker 7: doing out in the first place? Yea Raoul so nol
- 20:00Speaker 7: Vasquez was arrested for a shooting yesterday morning in a Popka.
- 20:03Speaker 7: We had touched on this the Sheriff's office as a
- 20:06Speaker 7: man and a woman were fighting inside of a car
- 20:08Speaker 7: when it crashed at Plymouth Sorrento and West Ponkin Roads,
- 20:12Speaker 7: and then they continued fighting outside of the car. Deputy
- 20:16Speaker 7: say Darryl Alexander Hill came to the woman's aid and
- 20:19Speaker 7: was shot to death. Now, the part of the story
- 20:21Speaker 7: that makes this super egregious is that witnesses reported seeing Hill,
- 20:26Speaker 7: the Good Samaritan, running away, running back to his vehicle
- 20:29Speaker 7: with his arms in the air, yelling, help me, help me,
- 20:32Speaker 7: because apparently the perpetrator of this, as he and this
- 20:35Speaker 7: woman were fighting and Hill had tried to intervene, allegedly
- 20:39Speaker 7: had gone back into his vehicle to get a shotgun.
- 20:43Speaker 3: Oh no, before shooting the Good Samaritans.
- 20:46Speaker 2: Oh my goodness.
- 20:47Speaker 7: Really, So there's a lot more to this than than
- 20:49Speaker 7: he just thought it, because yesterday there were some questions. Legit,
- 20:53Speaker 7: what we had is this a stand your ground?
- 20:55Speaker 2: Right?
- 20:55Speaker 7: This couple is fighting. They don't know what this guy
- 20:57Speaker 7: is coming up there for. Did this other guy threatened? Now,
- 21:01Speaker 7: when you run back into your vehicle and get a shotgun,
- 21:03Speaker 7: you're not.
- 21:03Speaker 2: And then you read these guys priors and you're like, oh,
- 21:06Speaker 2: what the f is this guy even doing out? What
- 21:08Speaker 2: is this guy doing out? This is now? This this
- 21:11Speaker 2: would have been the third time, I guess, did he
- 21:13Speaker 2: actually pulled the trigger? Two other times for brandishing a weapon. Yeah,
- 21:16Speaker 2: domestic violence charges already. Wow. Again, he was on probation
- 21:20Speaker 2: and they waddled this idiot out for the purp walk.
- 21:22Speaker 2: Let me tell you what this guy, this guy, he
- 21:24Speaker 2: was smirking. Wasn't he douchebag? Immediately when this guy cleared
- 21:27Speaker 2: that when you could see his face, this kind of
- 21:29Speaker 2: I don't care. I'm a badass, douchebag. This guy is
- 21:32Speaker 2: going to get wasted in prison. It's gonna be fun
- 21:35Speaker 2: to hear about. Well.
- 21:36Speaker 7: Darryl Alexander Hill unfortunately leaves behind a wife and three
- 21:40Speaker 7: children and was just said to be a really stand up, wonderful,
- 21:44Speaker 7: wonderful kind of a guy. Vasquez is charged with second
- 21:47Speaker 7: degree murder.
- 21:48Speaker 2: Yep.
- 21:48Speaker 7: I mean, I can't see how they would be able
- 21:50Speaker 7: to elevate those charges. I don't know if it matters
- 21:53Speaker 7: with him going back to his vehicle, probably not, But again,
- 21:55Speaker 7: what was he doing out in the first place.
- 21:57Speaker 2: And the other thing too, is I read that this
- 21:58Speaker 2: guy's a really small dude. The due who got shot
- 22:01Speaker 2: was kind of a smaller guy. In other words, it
- 22:02Speaker 2: would have offered no real physical intimidation because the guy
- 22:05Speaker 2: who's the shooter is actually a relatively tall dude. As
- 22:08Speaker 2: he was being walked out the day by the two
- 22:09Speaker 2: cops or for the purp walk, I mean, he was
- 22:12Speaker 2: three inches taller than both of them as I remember. Yeah,
- 22:14Speaker 2: I mean, I know that doesn't really make any difference
- 22:18Speaker 2: in the case, but you would think if you were
- 22:19Speaker 2: really threatened by somebody, if this dude was like a
- 22:22Speaker 2: six five bit you looking dude, you could go okay. Well,
- 22:25Speaker 2: he'd had no idea, but apparently this guy was a
- 22:26Speaker 2: relatively dominiative dude.
- 22:29Speaker 7: Well, either way, he went back to his vehicle to
- 22:31Speaker 7: get that weapon. Allegedly, all right, two dogs will be
- 22:35Speaker 7: euthanized after they mauled a woman to death in Brevard County.
- 22:38Speaker 7: Jody Cohen was attacked in a neighborhood on Blue Bonnet Drive.
- 22:41Speaker 7: The dog's owner, Linda Cutler, was arrested and charged with manslaughter.
- 22:45Speaker 7: A court order on Tuesday ordered the Sheriff's office to
- 22:48Speaker 7: euthanize the dogs quickly and humanly. However, a spokesperson with
- 22:52Speaker 7: the DA's office says that likely.
- 22:54Speaker 3: Won't happen until October.
- 22:57Speaker 7: Oh really, wow, Cutler's case is still I'm going unbelievable.
- 23:01Speaker 3: All right.
- 23:02Speaker 7: Mayor's emergency managers. City officials from around the state are
- 23:06Speaker 7: gathering in Hollywood this afternoon for the start of the
- 23:09Speaker 7: four day Florida League of Cities Annual Conference.
- 23:12Speaker 3: Let me tell you that can be a good time.
- 23:14Speaker 7: One key issue affecting all Floridians is the property tax
- 23:17Speaker 7: amendment on November's ballots.
- 23:20Speaker 3: This would be a good opportunity for all of us
- 23:21Speaker 3: to discuss the options that we have as city leaders
- 23:25Speaker 3: and as communities, so we can figure out how we're
- 23:27Speaker 3: going to deal with.
- 23:28Speaker 13: This, whether it passes or whether it doesn't.
- 23:30Speaker 7: Fort Lauderdale Mayor Dean Trenchallis says his city could take
- 23:33Speaker 7: a seventeen million dollars hit in twenty twenty seven alone
- 23:37Speaker 7: if homestead tax exemptions are raised to one hundred and
- 23:40Speaker 7: fifty thousand dollars, and that will affect almost every department,
- 23:44Speaker 7: including parks, police, and fire rescue. People need to stop
- 23:48Speaker 7: believing that schools, police, and fire rescue are automatically guaranteed
- 23:53Speaker 7: to be funded.
- 23:53Speaker 3: That is not the case.
- 23:55Speaker 7: Other topics to be discussed include disaster readiness and recovery,
- 23:59Speaker 7: and Data Center.
- 24:00Speaker 2: Saw a really interesting conversation about this on Reddit. This
- 24:03Speaker 2: morning with a ton of input from people in the area,
- 24:06Speaker 2: and it was it's just really interesting to read the comments.
- 24:10Speaker 2: I think people the comments I read seem to be
- 24:13Speaker 2: like people have finally started reading this thing to see
- 24:16Speaker 2: exactly what it is, and they're kind of souring on
- 24:18Speaker 2: it quite a bit right now because now they understand
- 24:20Speaker 2: exactly what you said. Use some emergency management situations could
- 24:25Speaker 2: be very bad. And of course in Florida, we know
- 24:28Speaker 2: that we can't we can't not depend on that. I mean,
- 24:31Speaker 2: it is one of the situations where it's almost every
- 24:32Speaker 2: single year we know for a fact there's gonna be
- 24:35Speaker 2: something that these people are gonna have to come through
- 24:37Speaker 2: to help somebody out in some part of the state.
- 24:39Speaker 7: Well, and again, you know we've talked about this before.
- 24:42Speaker 7: I mean, yeah, some sheriff's office departments might have an
- 24:46Speaker 7: easier time being funded, but if you live in a
- 24:48Speaker 7: small city that has their own police force, eventually they
- 24:51Speaker 7: may have to be absorbed by the county. Well, the
- 24:53Speaker 7: county isn't getting any more money than the city.
- 24:55Speaker 6: It's just this was written and put on the ballot
- 24:58Speaker 6: before the office even had a chance to look at it.
- 25:02Speaker 7: It was ram through so quickly, nobody really had time
- 25:05Speaker 7: to review it. And now you find the people who
- 25:07Speaker 7: stood behind it, the biggest being Governor Rond De Santis
- 25:10Speaker 7: and even our CFO Blazing Golia kind of going well.
- 25:13Speaker 2: Yeah, just wasn't supported by many legislators at all, going
- 25:15Speaker 2: in now because nobody knew anything about it exactly.
- 25:18Speaker 7: And then the reserve fund that had been part of
- 25:20Speaker 7: the original language that was taken out right right, all right, Well,
- 25:23Speaker 7: we had talked about this before the news started, but
- 25:25Speaker 7: the Orlando Dreamers are facing a setback in their hopes
- 25:28Speaker 7: of bringing Major League Baseball to central Florida. A task
- 25:31Speaker 7: force set up to recommend which projects to fund with
- 25:34Speaker 7: Orange County tourism tax revenue met yesterday. The Tourist Development
- 25:38Speaker 7: Tax Citizen Advisory task Force that's a lot I needed,
- 25:43Speaker 7: voted to support twelve projects, but they rejected a request
- 25:48Speaker 7: by the Dreamers to use a billion dollars for a
- 25:51Speaker 7: new baseball stadium. The task force also rejected using over
- 25:55Speaker 7: half a billion dollars to expand the itty bitty Orange
- 25:59Speaker 7: County Convention Center. The projects that did get approved include
- 26:03Speaker 7: a museum in Eatonville.
- 26:04Speaker 3: Which is cool, very very cool.
- 26:06Speaker 2: Million to that.
- 26:07Speaker 7: Yep, the Doctor Phillips Center for the Performing Arts and
- 26:09Speaker 7: a parking garage at Camping World Stadium. Okay, the County
- 26:13Speaker 7: Commission can accept or reject any of the task force recommendation.
- 26:17Speaker 2: And by the way, the Doctor Phillip Center is getting
- 26:19Speaker 2: a pretty good chunk of change, like seven hundred mil.
- 26:21Speaker 2: But when you look at what has happened for that
- 26:24Speaker 2: place over the last ten years, yeah, eight years, eight
- 26:27Speaker 2: ten years whatever, I mean, it has become the focal
- 26:29Speaker 2: point of the culture of this county, in this city.
- 26:32Speaker 2: So without question, and I mean for them to pour
- 26:35Speaker 2: money into that to create more theaters, parking garages, and
- 26:37Speaker 2: better experiences or even more enhanced experiences, I'm all for it.
- 26:42Speaker 3: Why not.
- 26:42Speaker 2: It is the shining jewel of art city of Orlando
- 26:44Speaker 2: in my opinion.
- 26:45Speaker 6: However, we are so close to making that Orange County
- 26:48Speaker 6: Convention stack to be able to be seen from space.
- 26:52Speaker 2: Your jokes do not land here.
- 26:54Speaker 3: I don't know. I think they kind of do. If
- 26:56Speaker 3: you could see it from the space station, they will come.
- 26:59Speaker 2: That'll that'll put us on the map. Will they get
- 27:03Speaker 2: that convention that just left back? The home Millers are now?
- 27:06Speaker 2: Am I getting? Aliens? Are all right.
- 27:09Speaker 7: Nearly one point two million Floridians have already cast ballots
- 27:12Speaker 7: ahead of next Tuesday's primary election. According to the Florida
- 27:16Speaker 7: Division of Elections, more than eight hundred and sixty five
- 27:19Speaker 7: thousand vote by mail ballots have been returned, while nearly
- 27:22Speaker 7: three hundred and twenty eight thousand people have voted at
- 27:24Speaker 7: early voting sites. Republicans account for about five hundred twenty
- 27:28Speaker 7: six thousand ballots cast so far, compared with nearly five
- 27:32Speaker 7: hundred one thousand Democrats. However, another one hundred forty eight
- 27:36Speaker 7: thousand voters with no party affiliation have also participated in
- 27:40Speaker 7: the elections so far. Although just like being outside of
- 27:44Speaker 7: today's a solar eclipse, it's like you look at your
- 27:46Speaker 7: ballot as an NPA and you're.
- 27:47Speaker 2: Like, Judge school Board, Judge school board. I hear you,
- 27:54Speaker 2: Judge school board. Call you get all right?
- 27:57Speaker 3: I had next, I bring you this little ditty ice.
- 28:01Speaker 3: Agents may soon be wearing, oh no you got this story?
- 28:05Speaker 2: No, no, no, go ahead. I just saw the story.
- 28:06Speaker 2: I'm just shaking my head because I just like, you
- 28:08Speaker 2: know what else?
- 28:08Speaker 9: Man?
- 28:09Speaker 7: I dude, right when you when you read it, did
- 28:11Speaker 7: you go no? This cannot be real.
- 28:13Speaker 2: I thought it was fake.
- 28:14Speaker 3: It's got to be an ICE story.
- 28:15Speaker 2: It seems like something that's.
- 28:16Speaker 7: Just let's stop leaving Jack out of the story. Hey,
- 28:20Speaker 7: Jack dead. ICE agents may soon be wearing electric gloves
- 28:27Speaker 7: capable of delivering painful shocks.
- 28:30Speaker 2: Right, this tracks, So it's a taser glove. Yeah, this
- 28:33Speaker 2: tracks the Department of Homelands it is. How can we
- 28:36Speaker 2: do this war in humane?
- 28:39Speaker 7: In April the Department of Homeland Security issue I noticed
- 28:43Speaker 7: this week saying ICE plans to spend twenty million dollars
- 28:47Speaker 7: on thousands of pairs of the electric gloves. The Kentucky
- 28:50Speaker 7: company that makes the gloves say they offer quote a humane,
- 28:53Speaker 7: low optics de escalation solution for many situations end quote
- 28:58Speaker 7: facing officers, and that they leave no burns, marks or scars.
- 29:03Speaker 2: Of course, my god, oh my god. Nothing no evidence.
- 29:09Speaker 6: Evidence, no evidence of abuse, no abuse, no, no, no evidences,
- 29:15Speaker 6: no way, different statement it is.
- 29:18Speaker 7: The DHS contract says the electric gloves could be distributed
- 29:22Speaker 7: as soon as next March.
- 29:23Speaker 2: Let me, yes, just out of curiosity, is this specifically
- 29:27Speaker 2: a law enforcement product? I mean, is it so that
- 29:30Speaker 2: somebody created an electric glove? No differently than someone creates
- 29:34Speaker 2: is that what it's for.
- 29:35Speaker 7: I have a real problem with them called being called
- 29:37Speaker 7: law enforcement because they don't go through anywhere near the
- 29:40Speaker 7: training that our real law enforcement does. Our law enforcement
- 29:44Speaker 7: is not allowed to wear masks. Our law enforcement has
- 29:47Speaker 7: to wear a badge a body worn camera. So I
- 29:50Speaker 7: hate when they're lumped together with real law enforcement officers
- 29:53Speaker 7: because no, our officers will carry a taser, but they're
- 29:56Speaker 7: not wearing taser gloves.
- 29:58Speaker 2: I'm trying to figure out how much glove is. I'm
- 29:59Speaker 2: on the webs this plank. It's called the glove. I'm sure
- 30:03Speaker 2: they have a clever acronym for it, but I don't
- 30:05Speaker 2: really know what it means. But it doesn't tell you
- 30:07Speaker 2: how much they are.
- 30:08Speaker 7: All right, Well, while you're doing that, BUCkies and a
- 30:11Speaker 7: Central Florida business are settling a lawsuit over quote knockoff
- 30:15Speaker 7: beaver merchandise. BUCkies accused Prometheus Esoterica of using its branding
- 30:20Speaker 7: in a way that could mislead customers. The oddity shop
- 30:23Speaker 7: is now banned from using Bucky's trademarks or helping other
- 30:27Speaker 7: businesses use the marks. Under the settlement PROMYTHEUS, Esoterica must
- 30:31Speaker 7: destroy all items bearing the Bucky's logo and remove related ads.
- 30:36Speaker 7: Oh but they're not done there, folks. No, it's something
- 30:39Speaker 7: Beaver Creek City Council members in Ohio say should have
- 30:42Speaker 7: been done a long time ago, adopting the beaver as
- 30:47Speaker 7: the city's official mascot.
- 30:48Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
- 30:49Speaker 7: Vice Mayor Zach Upton says he loves how the town
- 30:52Speaker 7: came together after the national convenience store chain BUCkies sued
- 30:56Speaker 7: local shop of Beaver's Mini Mart over the use of
- 30:59Speaker 7: a beev or in its logo. The damn shop has
- 31:01Speaker 7: been there over twenty years.
- 31:03Speaker 2: Exactly.
- 31:04Speaker 3: I swear BUCkies is.
- 31:05Speaker 7: Like, you know, the Karen of convenience stores, just that
- 31:09Speaker 7: blonde bob with the big bump in the back. So
- 31:11Speaker 7: a GoFundMe page set up to help the business with
- 31:14Speaker 7: its legal fight against BUCkies has raised over sixty thousand dollars. However,
- 31:18Speaker 7: officials say the mascot resolution is not associated with the
- 31:22Speaker 7: federal trademark lawsuit between Bucki's and Beaver's Mini Mart.
- 31:27Speaker 3: Let Beavers go right, Just let Buckis.
- 31:30Speaker 2: And Beaver's over again. Free the Beaver, the beaver exactly.
- 31:36Speaker 7: Oh, we can always count on Jack for the timely slogan.

- 32:15Speaker 13: store and pick up some new records, all right, and
- 32:19Speaker 13: get yelled at for us, because.
- 32:21Speaker 6: The spending money on stuff that's not worth the music
- 32:25Speaker 6: is worth it.
- 32:26Speaker 3: Have a good show, y'all.
- 32:27Speaker 2: You really appreciate that very much.
- 32:30Speaker 3: It's worth that. After you've paid your.
- 32:32Speaker 2: Bills, tell them that.
- 32:36Speaker 3: Buzz kill.
- 32:38Speaker 2: We have a record player. We haven't put it in
- 32:39Speaker 2: a while. Man I gotta. I have a cool little
- 32:41Speaker 2: set up at the house, but we have nowhere to
- 32:43Speaker 2: set up in this house the geneva man I had
- 32:46Speaker 2: it set up useless. A couple of years ago got
- 32:49Speaker 2: the four National Record Day when they released the Who
- 32:53Speaker 2: Fighters released their cover of BEG songs called hell Satan.
- 32:57Speaker 2: But it's the d the DJ.
- 33:00Speaker 6: Yeah for you know Dave DG's for Dave Grohl, so
- 33:05Speaker 6: it was they cover all the Beg songs.
- 33:08Speaker 3: It was a vinyl done by the Foo Fighter.
- 33:10Speaker 2: I did not know that. Yeah yeah, and you know
- 33:11Speaker 2: I'm a gigantic Begies fan. Yeah yeah right. And I
- 33:14Speaker 2: had it sealed up, hadn't opened it.
- 33:17Speaker 6: Then I was walking through the living room two days
- 33:19Speaker 6: ago and I see someone.
- 33:22Speaker 2: On the turntable opened up. I'm like, oh no, look
- 33:26Speaker 2: at that. They didn't ask you first. No, it was
- 33:30Speaker 2: sealed and plastic, and no one asked you to That
- 33:33Speaker 2: is correct.
- 33:34Speaker 3: That sounds like it's so.
- 33:37Speaker 2: And I And here's the deal, is that person silliv
- 33:39Speaker 2: in doors They did.
- 33:42Speaker 6: It was my lovely wife, Oh okay, which is the
- 33:44Speaker 6: only thing that saved it, because if it was anyone in
- 33:46Speaker 6: the it would have been a conversation. I'm like, this
- 33:49Speaker 6: was not yours, right. At first I thought it was
- 33:52Speaker 6: one of the kids, but my wife said she did it.
- 33:54Speaker 2: I'm like, all right, but I mean you were you
- 33:57Speaker 2: saying it sealed up, trying to like a crew value. Yes.
- 34:01Speaker 6: And then when I looked it up, I saw you
- 34:03Speaker 6: could get it for forty five bucks, which I think
- 34:05Speaker 6: is probably what I paid for it. So I'm like,
- 34:07Speaker 6: all right, And then I got, what's the point of
- 34:09Speaker 6: having it if you're not going to listen to it?
- 34:11Speaker 6: And so but sadly she never got to listen to
- 34:15Speaker 6: it because my turntable is Bluetooth and you have to
- 34:19Speaker 6: pair it to connect to the speaker.
- 34:20Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, right right now. We use old wires
- 34:25Speaker 2: at our place.
- 34:25Speaker 7: I was going to say, can you imagine this one
- 34:27Speaker 7: pairing it with his Bluetooth?
- 34:28Speaker 2: Oh no, no, no, Look, the only thing I think
- 34:31Speaker 2: pairs of Bluetooth is like maybe a nice sharden egg
- 34:36Speaker 2: weapin white. Yeah.
- 34:37Speaker 7: I heard a song the other day that I was like, damn,
- 34:39Speaker 7: It's been forever since I've heard that song, but it
- 34:41Speaker 7: reminded me of it one of my favorite CDs, and
- 34:44Speaker 7: it's like, well, I wonder where that CD is, But
- 34:47Speaker 7: what's the point you.
- 34:48Speaker 3: Don't play YouTube here? I come exactly?
- 34:51Speaker 2: What was it?
- 34:52Speaker 7: Ashes to Ashes, Ashes to Ashes? David Bowie? Oh yeah,
- 34:57Speaker 7: major Tom's a junkie. Yeah yeah, yeah, Wow, dude, that's crazy.
- 35:01Speaker 7: So I heard that, I was like, well, damn, I
- 35:02Speaker 7: love some good David Bowie.
- 35:04Speaker 2: I think the last vinyl that I listened to if
- 35:07Speaker 2: I remember it because I love like I got the
- 35:09Speaker 2: depeche Mode the Violer album. I also have the One
- 35:13Speaker 2: on one and I think it was Depeche Mode or
- 35:15Speaker 2: Chris Stapleton. My wife has a double Chris Stapleton album.
- 35:18Speaker 2: I guess they released and we listened to that also
- 35:22Speaker 2: Alison Krause and Robert Plant. You know, that's some good stuff.
- 35:25Speaker 2: It's like kind of what is that not honky Tonk?
- 35:28Speaker 2: What is that now? American folk?
- 35:30Speaker 12: Yeah?
- 35:31Speaker 3: Say your songwriter? American American?
- 35:33Speaker 2: Right? Yeah?
- 35:33Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 35:34Speaker 2: But I love listening to my record player. It's one
- 35:37Speaker 2: of those things like it's a Saturday afternoon, a little rain. Yeah,
- 35:40Speaker 2: you throw the record on, you let it go. I
- 35:42Speaker 2: also have an old because back in the day, they
- 35:45Speaker 2: used to release compilation records. Do you guys remember that.
- 35:48Speaker 2: I used to buy them all. I still have a
- 35:51Speaker 2: I was.
- 35:51Speaker 3: Gonna say, isn't that what kay Tell was always about?
- 35:54Speaker 2: I was kind of like that.
- 35:55Speaker 14: Okay.
- 35:55Speaker 2: The closest thing I can kind of recall it being
- 35:57Speaker 2: close to now is remember the jack will know this.
- 36:00Speaker 2: I don't think Debil you remember the Kids Bop series? Yes?
- 36:02Speaker 2: So do you know what Kids Bop is?
- 36:04Speaker 3: Oh? Yeah, sorry, you guys, right.
- 36:05Speaker 2: Yeah, So they would release one of these kids pop
- 36:08Speaker 2: albums like every year, and they would take the top
- 36:11Speaker 2: twenty songs and they would let kids rebuild the songs
- 36:14Speaker 2: and didn't take out any bad words or whatever, and
- 36:15Speaker 2: it was actually very cool. We love popular, We loved
- 36:19Speaker 2: the kids Bop CDs. They were absolutely life savers for
- 36:23Speaker 2: us because we liked those tunes, but some of the
- 36:25Speaker 2: aspects of the song we really didn't want to play
- 36:27Speaker 2: for our younger kids. It was out great, but I
- 36:29Speaker 2: remember back in the day my uncles used to get
- 36:32Speaker 2: these records. It would be like a is an album,
- 36:34Speaker 2: but it would be like popular songs all compiled onto
- 36:37Speaker 2: one Everything from hot Chocolate to kiss to Abba to whatever,
- 36:41Speaker 2: it was all on one album. Yeah.
- 36:43Speaker 7: I saved my money to buy one of those compilation
- 36:45Speaker 7: albums that Shop Go Shop Go, Shop Go because it
- 36:49Speaker 7: had the Police right after it had Foreigner on a
- 36:53Speaker 7: Girl Like You and then came on rock sand oh Man,
- 36:56Speaker 7: Oh yeah, yeah, some good time.
- 36:57Speaker 2: Let me ask you guys something. I just saw a
- 36:59Speaker 2: flashback on my Facebook page yesterday about a store that
- 37:03Speaker 2: was in my hometown, and I don't ever remember seeing
- 37:07Speaker 2: this anywhere else, but I know it was a chain.
- 37:11Speaker 2: At any point in your lives, did you guys ever
- 37:13Speaker 2: shop at a Pick and Save? Have you ever heard
- 37:16Speaker 2: of Pick and Save? Heard of him?
- 37:18Speaker 3: Yeah, I've never seen or shop.
- 37:20Speaker 2: We had a Pick and Save in Palaca that also
- 37:23Speaker 2: had like a little diner connected to it, like almost
- 37:27Speaker 2: like a not a ruby Tuesdays. What's that thing we
- 37:29Speaker 2: talk about all the time. Oh, got not carriage house,
- 37:33Speaker 2: but it's uh oh holiday house, yeah, holiday house, holiday house.
- 37:37Speaker 2: It was like a holiday house kind of diner, and
- 37:38Speaker 2: it was a big deal when we went to Pick
- 37:40Speaker 2: and Saved the shop and then also got mashed potatoes tea.
- 37:45Speaker 2: It was the only time I would ever eat beef
- 37:47Speaker 2: because we never eat beef at my house. It was
- 37:48Speaker 2: always pork or chicken or bacon or whatever, so we
- 37:51Speaker 2: never had beef, not even hamburgers. So when we would
- 37:54Speaker 2: go there and they had carve roast beef, dude, it
- 37:56Speaker 2: was like eating like a king. But I don't I
- 37:58Speaker 2: don't remember ever seeing other Pick and Save.
- 38:01Speaker 7: It was just like, uh, Pigley Wiggly's are big down
- 38:04Speaker 7: here in the south right right right, Yeah, we had
- 38:06Speaker 7: one in Green Bay. Oh really, yep, yep, Wiggly Century
- 38:10Speaker 7: was the name of our grocery store traveling around.
- 38:12Speaker 2: I remember visiting a MP's and I grew up. We
- 38:16Speaker 2: had an A and P yeah A and people just
- 38:18Speaker 2: stands for Atlantic Pacific, right, because they were the one
- 38:20Speaker 2: of the first national grocery tings, I believe.
- 38:22Speaker 6: Yeah, they're they're like their chain brand was and price
- 38:26Speaker 6: Oh was it really? Yeah? That was their store brand
- 38:29Speaker 6: was called.
- 38:29Speaker 2: And I would have never been old enough to recognize
- 38:31Speaker 2: any of that, but I've never been. And then Kroger.
- 38:34Speaker 2: I never got to experience a Kroger now until not
- 38:37Speaker 2: until I moved down here. Yeah. Yeah, Primarily it was
- 38:40Speaker 2: always just Windocks to Republics. Well, there's a place up
- 38:42Speaker 2: there called in my hometown called Pantry Pride, but I
- 38:45Speaker 2: think it was a locally owned grocery store because there
- 38:48Speaker 2: was a guy that owned a bunch of convenience stores
- 38:50Speaker 2: in her hometown, and I think that was his grocery store.
- 38:52Speaker 6: But we had food line in Albertson's as well down here, Yeah,
- 38:55Speaker 6: we did.
- 38:55Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right, and Goodings don't forget.
- 38:58Speaker 2: Good Goodings was short lived though. Goodings was kind of
- 39:01Speaker 2: gone by the mid nineties.
- 39:03Speaker 7: Right, Oh, that was your like the first gourmet grocery
- 39:06Speaker 7: store that I remember.
- 39:07Speaker 2: Do you remember the biggest paint in the aske about
- 39:09Speaker 2: shopping at Gooddings now brick floors really Yeah, you'd push
- 39:14Speaker 2: your cart through there and like driving the winter Park,
- 39:17Speaker 2: it would just it would rattle your eggs. No, we
- 39:19Speaker 2: had grown up. I had. We had a MP shop
- 39:22Speaker 2: right right Rand Union. I've not even heard of that.
- 39:27Speaker 6: Food Town which was my first job. I was a
- 39:29Speaker 6: cashier at food food Town. Baby which one had the
- 39:33Speaker 6: was it which one of the stores I got in
- 39:35Speaker 6: trouble for? Like red?
- 39:37Speaker 15: Uh?
- 39:37Speaker 2: They that was the one that they remember they got
- 39:40Speaker 2: the red on the meat.
- 39:41Speaker 14: Yeah.
- 39:42Speaker 2: Yeah, they would put they would put the spices on
- 39:43Speaker 2: the meat and put it out there like a pre spice.
- 39:45Speaker 2: But what they're really saying o the death exactly it
- 39:51Speaker 2: was food something food line. It was a food food light.
- 39:55Speaker 6: Well I know for using like red lights. Yeah, I know,
- 39:58Speaker 6: they used red lights on them that kind of make
- 40:00Speaker 6: it look better.
- 40:01Speaker 2: They would also put something of a chemical on it
- 40:03Speaker 2: to make it look super bright red. But I think
- 40:04Speaker 2: with the chicken, one of the big problems they had
- 40:06Speaker 2: is is when the chicken started getting to that point
- 40:08Speaker 2: where it was about to turn. They would they would
- 40:10Speaker 2: cover it in seasoning and say, you know, ready to barbecue. Huh,

- 41:36Speaker 7: alyssa job and pt the prehenseil tailed skink yay Central
- 41:42Speaker 7: Florida Zoo. That is one big Can you call him
- 41:46Speaker 7: a lizard?
- 41:46Speaker 16: Yeah, he's a lizard. So he we have peat cruiser.
- 41:49Speaker 17: He's a prehensile tailed skink and he is the largest
- 41:53Speaker 17: species of skink. So we have skinks in Florida, but
- 41:55Speaker 17: they don't get nearly this day.
- 41:57Speaker 2: Yeah, he is a hog. Dude two feet long there.
- 42:01Speaker 16: They're average is about thirty two inches long.
- 42:03Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's creaty. And if you go to
- 42:05Speaker 2: the website right now, Joe porperlive dot com. She's got
- 42:07Speaker 2: him in a position where he's like kind of mugging
- 42:09Speaker 2: the camera and he looks he looks pretty mean, dude.
- 42:13Speaker 2: What's their disposition?
- 42:14Speaker 16: They're pretty gentle.
- 42:15Speaker 17: They are herbivores, so he mostly likes to eat like
- 42:18Speaker 17: flowers and leaves and.
- 42:20Speaker 16: Things like that.
- 42:21Speaker 7: Yeah, jim me, how could he be mean when he
- 42:22Speaker 7: wants to eat flowers.
- 42:24Speaker 16: Favorite flowers, the hibiscus flowers.
- 42:26Speaker 3: Really does he make a tea and.
- 42:29Speaker 17: So they are pretty I mean for us specifically. He's
- 42:33Speaker 17: very used to us, so he doesn't really mind much.
- 42:36Speaker 17: But we always say that he looks like he's smiling.
- 42:39Speaker 2: Yeah, he doesn't have a bit of way that.
- 42:40Speaker 17: His mouth is kind of shaped, so so I think
- 42:42Speaker 17: he's pretty friendly.
- 42:43Speaker 2: His head has a lot of snake kind of characteristics.
- 42:46Speaker 2: Is that a is that an accident or is that
- 42:48Speaker 2: just a just just how he's I mean, how he
- 42:51Speaker 2: looks or allow?
- 42:52Speaker 3: Look now he's mugging you liked.
- 42:55Speaker 17: A lot of skinks do kind of resemble snakes, like
- 42:58Speaker 17: they have that kind of triangle shaped yeah, and like
- 43:00Speaker 17: their short legs and things. So his legs are actually
- 43:02Speaker 17: a little bit longer than a lot of other skinks
- 43:04Speaker 17: because he lives up in the tree, so he uses
- 43:06Speaker 17: them to grab onto things and climb around. But we
- 43:08Speaker 17: have a blue tongue skink at the zoo who if
- 43:11Speaker 17: he tucks his legs underneath him, he literally looks like
- 43:14Speaker 17: a scename.
- 43:14Speaker 2: I was gonna say, if that thing was looking out
- 43:16Speaker 2: from under like some leaves or whatever, you could only
- 43:18Speaker 2: see his head, There's no way in the world you'd
- 43:19Speaker 2: guess that's a lizard. You'd immediately think that's a snake.
- 43:21Speaker 17: Yeah, especially with his long tail. They scientists think that
- 43:24Speaker 17: it could be an adaptation to help them survive and
- 43:26Speaker 17: help scare other animals away, because a lot of animals
- 43:29Speaker 17: are instinctively scared of snakes, so resembling snakes could help
- 43:33Speaker 17: keep them safe.
- 43:34Speaker 3: Wow.
- 43:35Speaker 7: So I mean, does he have a girlfriend at the
- 43:38Speaker 7: Central Florida Zoo or he's not part of your breeding program.
- 43:41Speaker 17: He does not have a girlfriend at the zoo, but
- 43:43Speaker 17: we do have his parents at the zoo. His parents
- 43:46Speaker 17: are Loki in Freya. They live in our Herbertarium, so
- 43:48Speaker 17: if you visit the zoo you can actually see the
- 43:49Speaker 17: two of them. And then we do have his sister
- 43:52Speaker 17: as well, a valkyrie who is kind of adjusting to
- 43:55Speaker 17: education life currently, so she's back behind the scenes.
- 43:57Speaker 2: Interesting, let me ask you silly, stupid question, all right,
- 44:01Speaker 2: will that will? Will he recognize his family members?
- 44:04Speaker 14: Something like?
- 44:04Speaker 2: Wh when they get together? Do they seem like they
- 44:06Speaker 2: know each other from that or they dap.
- 44:09Speaker 18: They actually are one of the few species of lizards
- 44:13Speaker 18: that live in familial groups.
- 44:15Speaker 2: Oh really, Yeah, so they have.
- 44:16Speaker 18: The ability to recognize other members of their group because
- 44:20Speaker 18: they would be hanging out in the big group. Emily,
- 44:22Speaker 18: you know the name of them.
- 44:24Speaker 16: That's a group, a circulus circular.
- 44:27Speaker 2: Wow, so we've got a murder of pros and a
- 44:30Speaker 2: circulus of.
- 44:33Speaker 3: Or is that pre hunt sile tail? Is that how
- 44:35Speaker 3: you say it?
- 44:36Speaker 16: Yes, the prehensile tail of skink.
- 44:38Speaker 3: Oh. Now, look he's going to move on Jack's making
- 44:40Speaker 3: the move.
- 44:41Speaker 2: Dear Lord, please let this thing jump on Jack and
- 44:43Speaker 2: watch him just pee right into his boots. Please God,
- 44:45Speaker 2: make it happen.
- 44:46Speaker 7: I just love the way that pet's like. Do you
- 44:48Speaker 7: like this side? I think this is my better size?
- 44:52Speaker 2: Does like ol mill? Right now? He's very active. When
- 44:55Speaker 2: Jack came in, though, is is is there a certain
- 44:58Speaker 2: color or something or movement that they're do you know?
- 45:02Speaker 14: I know of.
- 45:04Speaker 2: Jack looks like a flower. He hasn't moved since you
- 45:07Speaker 2: guys have been in the studio, and then when Jack
- 45:09Speaker 2: walked in, all of a sudden.
- 45:10Speaker 3: Wow, he's seriously going after Jack.
- 45:12Speaker 16: Who he is also a very curious lizard.
- 45:16Speaker 17: So sometimes even like when we come up like around him,
- 45:19Speaker 17: he'll just kind of look around and try and figure
- 45:21Speaker 17: out what's happening and who's coming by.
- 45:23Speaker 2: Is there a command you can give to making tail
- 45:25Speaker 2: whip jack pH?
- 45:28Speaker 16: We do not know.
- 45:29Speaker 3: No, there's no.
- 45:29Speaker 16: Attack, he's not trained that way.
- 45:33Speaker 2: So average lifespan.
- 45:35Speaker 17: So these guys can live twenty five to thirty years generally.
- 45:38Speaker 17: His parents are actually thirty six years old, are you kidding?
- 45:41Speaker 18: And they just had their most recent baby, his sister,
- 45:44Speaker 18: about two years ago, so they are still active.
- 45:49Speaker 2: Over there. What about me?
- 45:52Speaker 17: He's about sixteen years old, so wow, age between him
- 45:56Speaker 17: and his life.
- 45:57Speaker 2: I mean, another stupid question. I mean, it seems I
- 46:00Speaker 2: get sixteen years old. He obviously is sexually mature. But
- 46:03Speaker 2: when when does that happen? When did they start seeking
- 46:05Speaker 2: out mates?
- 46:06Speaker 18: It's not gonna I mean, his sister is around the
- 46:09Speaker 18: age right now that she could potentially if we find
- 46:13Speaker 18: the need to. But it depends with the larger lizards.
- 46:16Speaker 18: It's gonna take a little bit more time. Oh really yeah,
- 46:19Speaker 18: but it shouldn't take very very long for them because
- 46:21Speaker 18: they developed very.
- 46:22Speaker 2: Cool and they have one too.
- 46:24Speaker 17: I mean, oh, I have one, and their gestation period
- 46:27Speaker 17: is pretty long too, It's like seven or eight months.
- 46:29Speaker 5: Oh wow.
- 46:30Speaker 17: Really, because the babies are born about one third of
- 46:33Speaker 17: the mom's body weight, so kind of.
- 46:35Speaker 16: As a comparison, if.
- 46:37Speaker 17: A woman was like one hundred and fifty pounds, that
- 46:39Speaker 17: would be a fifty pound baby.
- 46:40Speaker 2: Oh yeah, which is like a seven year old child
- 46:43Speaker 2: coming out of you, walking out play walking to its
- 46:48Speaker 2: first day.
- 46:49Speaker 16: So they generally have one.
- 46:50Speaker 17: In rare cases, there can be too, and then they
- 46:53Speaker 17: take about a year and a half off before having
- 46:55Speaker 17: another one.
- 46:55Speaker 3: Really, I can imagine why.
- 46:57Speaker 2: I know that's not the blue tongue scheme, but just
- 47:00Speaker 2: had a texture text in and said one of the
- 47:01Speaker 2: worst bites he ever got in his life was from
- 47:03Speaker 2: a blue tongue skink. Is this also is the bite
- 47:05Speaker 2: pressure there when it needs to be.
- 47:07Speaker 17: My guess would be that a blue tongue skink would
- 47:09Speaker 17: have a stronger bite for us if their favorite foods
- 47:12Speaker 17: are snails, So I definitely wouldn't want to be bitten
- 47:16Speaker 17: by a prehensile tailed skink because even though they eat plants,
- 47:19Speaker 17: they have to grind up all of that plant matter,
- 47:21Speaker 17: so they've got some sharp teeth. They've got a strong jaw,
- 47:23Speaker 17: but if I were to guess, I would think that
- 47:25Speaker 17: the blue tongue would be worse.
- 47:27Speaker 7: Well, thank you for because I was thinking it would
- 47:29Speaker 7: be the same bite for us. But now you point
- 47:31Speaker 7: out that they eat different things. So is pt Cruiser
- 47:35Speaker 7: here one of your ambassador animals that when folks visit
- 47:37Speaker 7: the zoo they can actually get up close and personal with.
- 47:40Speaker 18: Yeah, he usually it's going to be on our educational programs,
- 47:44Speaker 18: but sometimes our ambassador keepers will take him out into
- 47:47Speaker 18: the zoo as a special treat. So if your kids
- 47:50Speaker 18: did want to meet a prehensile tailed skink, that they
- 47:53Speaker 18: would have to come to one of our programs.
- 47:55Speaker 3: That's he's just hanging out with Jack.
- 47:57Speaker 2: He's just like, let me ask you to a question,
- 48:00Speaker 2: all right, when you guys date, right, because I mean
- 48:02Speaker 2: you guys are when you guys date, do you find
- 48:05Speaker 2: do you do you need your boyfriends or perspective boyfriends
- 48:08Speaker 2: to also be in animals and stuff? I mean, is
- 48:10Speaker 2: that a is that a prerequisite for you guys?
- 48:13Speaker 18: I think if you don't like animals, then we will
- 48:15Speaker 18: not get.
- 48:16Speaker 2: You wouldn't even be a possibility, Like not liking them
- 48:20Speaker 2: as one thing, like, like, you guys are like into
- 48:23Speaker 2: them more than like I like animals too, but I
- 48:25Speaker 2: don't work at a zoo. But I mean, do you
- 48:27Speaker 2: need them to kind of feel that same vibe?
- 48:29Speaker 10: No?
- 48:29Speaker 2: Okay, good, I just didn't know.
- 48:31Speaker 17: I need to be able to share fun facts and
- 48:33Speaker 17: then want to listen to them. Yeah, right, listen to
- 48:36Speaker 17: me talk about snakes and lizards and then that's fine.
- 48:41Speaker 2: And is this the focus in the zoo world that
- 48:43Speaker 2: you guys both like, I mean, uh, in the I mean,
- 48:45Speaker 2: you guys have plenty of animals there, everything from cats,
- 48:48Speaker 2: girafts to uh, hippo's or whatever the case may be.
- 48:51Speaker 2: But are you guys particularly attracted to this type of animal?
- 48:54Speaker 17: I'm actually a mammal person, believe it or not, because
- 48:57Speaker 17: most of the animals I work with are reptiles. And
- 49:00Speaker 17: I always say that my favorite animals to educate about
- 49:02Speaker 17: are like the invertebrates and the snakes because people are
- 49:05Speaker 17: commonly scared of them. They're just like wary of them.
- 49:08Speaker 17: But honestly, I'm a manimal person. My favorite animals are
- 49:11Speaker 17: drafting through so but the education side of things is
- 49:14Speaker 17: really where my passion lies.
- 49:16Speaker 18: I am a huge tiger person, so I love the cats.
- 49:20Speaker 18: But I'm also a very big fan of snakes. So
- 49:23Speaker 18: anytime I get a chance, I love talking to people
- 49:26Speaker 18: about snakes. I love taking them out because I feel
- 49:28Speaker 18: like that's an animal that people, like you said, are
- 49:31Speaker 18: mostly scared of.
- 49:32Speaker 2: Yeah, and they're interested in.
- 49:33Speaker 7: Yeah, They're necessary. That's the other thing too. They are necessary.
- 49:37Speaker 7: They're so important. I mean when you look at the
- 49:40Speaker 7: indigo snake, right, I mean that's one of our keystone
- 49:44Speaker 7: species here in Florida. So they're beautiful and they're non venomous,
- 49:48Speaker 7: and like you know, Jimmy was mentioning earlier, when you
- 49:51Speaker 7: have a was it the black snake is the property
- 49:53Speaker 7: or whatever?
- 49:54Speaker 3: You know, you're not going to.
- 49:55Speaker 7: Have a rodent issue, So real quick before we let
- 49:57Speaker 7: you guys go, I know, even though kids are back
- 49:59Speaker 7: in school, the Central Florida Zoo has a really cool
- 50:01Speaker 7: offer for families in August.
- 50:03Speaker 17: Yes, so throughout all of August, kids can come in
- 50:06Speaker 17: free with the purchase of an adult ticket. So definitely
- 50:09Speaker 17: still reason to come because that does include weekends, it's
- 50:11Speaker 17: the whole month long.
- 50:12Speaker 2: Oh wow, that's awesome, which is great.
- 50:14Speaker 7: Also, they're going to have more Sunset at the Zoo
- 50:17Speaker 7: events coming up and that is on the fourth Friday
- 50:20Speaker 7: of the month.
- 50:20Speaker 17: Yes, so August twenty eighth and September twenty eighth we
- 50:23Speaker 17: have our Sunset at the Zoo. So this month in
- 50:25Speaker 17: August we are celebrating Native American and Alaska Alaska Native heritage,
- 50:30Speaker 17: and then in September we're celebrating Hispanic heritage. So we
- 50:34Speaker 17: have like story times, we'll bring animals out, food trucks, yeah,
- 50:37Speaker 17: food trucks, extra keeper chats, and you just get to
- 50:40Speaker 17: walk around the zoo at sunset time when a lot
- 50:42Speaker 17: of the animals are really active.
- 50:43Speaker 2: And I heard during that when they let one black
- 50:45Speaker 2: mom but go you find it and you win a free,
- 50:49Speaker 2: very special prize.
- 50:51Speaker 16: It's a very special trip and a van two.
- 50:54Speaker 2: Exactly you get to live.
- 50:57Speaker 7: And then lastly, speaking of Indigo snakes, you've got the
- 51:00Speaker 7: White and Indigo celebrating Wild America and that's going to
- 51:02Speaker 7: be coming up pretty soon, right.
- 51:04Speaker 18: Yeah, there's gonna be a lot of really good food.
- 51:06Speaker 18: I've heard brisket is going to make an appearance as
- 51:09Speaker 18: well as hot dogs and hamburgers. But there are going
- 51:11Speaker 18: to be a lot of keeper shots and it's just
- 51:13Speaker 18: gonna be a really fun time for the family to
- 51:15Speaker 18: get out and have some fun in the sun. And
- 51:18Speaker 18: then on top of that, we've also, like we mentioned,
- 51:20Speaker 18: have our homeschool programs coming up and they run every
- 51:22Speaker 18: single month, so on Tuesdays and Thursdays and then homeschool

- 54:26Speaker 2: Yeah we did, man, it was really nice. Went over
- 54:28Speaker 2: to the beach for a couple of days. I don't know,
- 54:29Speaker 2: these guys kind of hung out. Jack, What did you do?
- 54:31Speaker 2: I worked every day, they Jack worked every day. It
- 54:33Speaker 2: was great, absolutely wonderful.
- 54:36Speaker 3: I well, I was up.
- 54:37Speaker 13: At the North Carolina coast as well, and it was
- 54:41Speaker 13: this was actually a delayed memorial for my father who
- 54:46Speaker 13: passed away, and it was it was really nice. We
- 54:49Speaker 13: had eighteen of us in one house, basically an invitation
- 54:52Speaker 13: for a COVID super spreader event, and we dispersed my
- 54:58Speaker 13: father's ashes in the marshes of the beach, which is
- 55:02Speaker 13: where both his mother and his father there were were
- 55:06Speaker 13: laid to rest.
- 55:07Speaker 3: And it was very nice.
- 55:08Speaker 13: It was a little unfortunate when the winds whipped up
- 55:12Speaker 13: my brother and I got some Dad up our.
- 55:15Speaker 3: Nose, But fortunate he did that. Yeah, Dad did that.
- 55:23Speaker 13: But you know what, everybody in the family has a
- 55:24Speaker 13: good sense of humor. Dad was laughing too. It was
- 55:27Speaker 13: a mess.
- 55:28Speaker 2: Uh, well, you did it. On accident. Keith Richard's did
- 55:30Speaker 2: it on purpose.
- 55:31Speaker 19: So.
- 55:35Speaker 2: That's right.
- 55:36Speaker 3: So, but it was it.
- 55:37Speaker 13: Was a nice service. It was basically this very solemn
- 55:39Speaker 13: thing followed by a bit of a you know what show. Yeah,
- 55:43Speaker 13: a big old bourbon s show.
- 55:45Speaker 2: Is that what it was? Well, I saw the column today,
- 55:48Speaker 2: and I know that deb had this other thing in
- 55:51Speaker 2: the news that I know you want to talk about,
- 55:52Speaker 2: because you're right. I mean, I don't know how long
- 55:55Speaker 2: you've been waiting for the city commission to stand up
- 55:57Speaker 2: to uh the convention center. My god, it finally happened.
- 56:01Speaker 2: They finally mustered up a no for some people who
- 56:04Speaker 2: have had their handout for quite a while. We'll get
- 56:06Speaker 2: to that in a second, but first things first. So
- 56:09Speaker 2: I read the column today and I think I read
- 56:11Speaker 2: a teaser about this yesterday. Maybe that Joel Greenberg or
- 56:14Speaker 2: Buddy Joel Greenberg is looking for a pardon.
- 56:19Speaker 13: Yes, Joel Greenberg, I think you could argue Seminole County's
- 56:25Speaker 13: most infamous political criminal anyway, maybe a criminal who's in
- 56:29Speaker 13: prison at a low security facility in Miami. I think
- 56:33Speaker 13: he's on year. Basically, it's like six or seven out
- 56:38Speaker 13: of eleven. He thinks he's done enough time for this,
- 56:43Speaker 13: and just for a refresher for your listeners who may
- 56:46Speaker 13: not remember or who were maybe not here. This is
- 56:49Speaker 13: not a politician who was convicted on some like typical
- 56:52Speaker 13: political crime of like maybe misusing a few bucks. This
- 56:56Speaker 13: guy was originally indicted on thirty three federal charges. They
- 57:01Speaker 13: ranged from sex trafficking of a minor to stalking a
- 57:05Speaker 13: political rival, to embezzling and fraud of public money.
- 57:09Speaker 3: This was this was a ton of stuff.
- 57:12Speaker 2: This guy is a one person crime family.
- 57:14Speaker 3: It was he is.
- 57:16Speaker 2: It was just like a course. When you read charges,
- 57:19Speaker 2: like when I read some of the ones you had today,
- 57:20Speaker 2: you read those charges like this sounds like a group
- 57:22Speaker 2: of people doing stuff, not just one person.
- 57:25Speaker 3: Like a syndicate.
- 57:27Speaker 2: Exactly.
- 57:27Speaker 13: It was a syndicate operating out of the Seminole County
- 57:30Speaker 13: tax Collector's office. And one of the things I just
- 57:32Speaker 13: thought was worth reminding people was that this guy already
- 57:35Speaker 13: got a heck of a deal, arguably that he was
- 57:38Speaker 13: originally looking at not a lifetime behind bars, but multiple
- 57:43Speaker 13: lifetimes behind bars if he'd been convicted on all these counts.
- 57:47Speaker 13: The Feds ultimately let him plead to about six not
- 57:50Speaker 13: about six to six to six crimes and only take
- 57:54Speaker 13: eleven years. Even those six crimes had about a half
- 57:57Speaker 13: century maximum penalty, so he got whittled, you know, from
- 58:00Speaker 13: hundreds of years that could have been fifty years, and
- 58:03Speaker 13: he got eleven years. And now he's done, like six
- 58:05Speaker 13: or seven. He goes, I think I've paid enough.
- 58:09Speaker 2: And he cooperated. And if I remember right, when he cooperated,
- 58:12Speaker 2: didn't it require didn't it result in the arrest? And
- 58:15Speaker 2: was it two other or just one other person?
- 58:18Speaker 3: There were at least two other people?
- 58:19Speaker 10: Yeah?
- 58:19Speaker 3: Yeah, are who were there? Actually? Yeah, I think there
- 58:23Speaker 3: may have been more than that.
- 58:24Speaker 13: But yes, I get I get on my Seminole County
- 58:27Speaker 13: crimes mixed up, but yes there was. And also actually
- 58:31Speaker 13: the reason this got a lot of a national attention
- 58:34Speaker 13: was there was at least speculation that the cooperation was
- 58:40Speaker 13: supposed to involve Matt Gates, Yes, who you may remember,
- 58:43Speaker 13: was like found coming into the tax collector after hours
- 58:47Speaker 13: looking up like licenses of I mean, it was there
- 58:50Speaker 13: were some strange stuff. Gates was never charged with any
- 58:53Speaker 13: of that stuff, but others were. But yes, he cooperated.
- 58:56Speaker 13: But the interesting thing about Joel is, aside from just
- 58:59Speaker 13: saying he thinking he's done his time, uh, serving six
- 59:02Speaker 13: or seven of the one hundred or so years he
- 59:04Speaker 13: could have done. His rationale is basically like I did.
- 59:08Speaker 13: I helped Donald Trump, and I worked to get him elected,
- 59:12Speaker 13: and I've been a loyal soldier in the mag of
- 59:14Speaker 13: movement and that should be reason enough. And I gotta
- 59:17Speaker 13: tell you that would seem nuts to most people as
- 59:20Speaker 13: a reason for justice. But there's some evid Yeah, that's
- 59:23Speaker 13: how it's been working for the last few years.
- 59:25Speaker 2: And I gotta tell you, man, I gotta tell you,
- 59:27Speaker 2: you know, on both sides of the aisle, there's no
- 59:29Speaker 2: question that pardon work. That pardon thing is so bizarre, man,
- 59:33Speaker 2: when you start looking at some of the stuff that
- 59:35Speaker 2: people pardon you from the Clintons and even Biden pardoning
- 59:38Speaker 2: a guy who executed two federal agents on an Indian
- 59:41Speaker 2: reservation and other but and then you look at the
- 59:43Speaker 2: the fraud that has been pardoned by Trump in just
- 59:46Speaker 2: the last year. It has been crazy. This uh, this
- 59:49Speaker 2: Chinese uh finance guy that two billion dollars in fraud,
- 59:54Speaker 2: another guy four undred and fifty million dollars in fraud.
- 59:56Speaker 2: And uh, you know, if you look in the other
- 59:59Speaker 2: crazy thing is it seems to happen right after pretty
- 1:00:02Speaker 2: massive donations.
- 1:00:03Speaker 13: Absolutely, And I would say that I mentioned in the
- 1:00:06Speaker 13: piece in my piece today that like Bill Clinton made
- 1:00:08Speaker 13: all sorts of headlines ye for Whitewater, I mean for
- 1:00:11Speaker 13: all of the people, for pardoning those people on his
- 1:00:13Speaker 13: way out the door. But the sort of a common
- 1:00:16Speaker 13: theme has often been that powerful people. And I mentioned
- 1:00:19Speaker 13: another guy in my column, local Joe Lewis. He's the
- 1:00:23Speaker 13: billionaire who owns Tavistock. Was he pled guilty to securities fraud.
- 1:00:29Speaker 13: It was basically insider training. Once again, I went back
- 1:00:31Speaker 13: and looked the original charges carried like I think three
- 1:00:34Speaker 13: decades up to three decades behind bar He already got
- 1:00:37Speaker 13: a hell of a sweetheart deal. He had no time
- 1:00:40Speaker 13: in prison, had to pay restitution, and basically was put
- 1:00:43Speaker 13: on probation. But then Trump pardoned him, giving him a
- 1:00:46Speaker 13: full and complete pardon from even that.
- 1:00:48Speaker 3: Whittled down punishment.
- 1:00:50Speaker 13: And that's I think one of the things we've seen
- 1:00:52Speaker 13: with Trump in the past sort of two years is
- 1:00:54Speaker 13: that while lots of politicians have done this past, he's
- 1:00:57Speaker 13: turned it into a turnstile.
- 1:00:58Speaker 5: Man.
- 1:00:59Speaker 2: It is when you read it is kind of crazy
- 1:01:01Speaker 2: by the way for people who don't know who Joe
- 1:01:03Speaker 2: Lewis is, Tavistock might not hit you. But he's also
- 1:01:05Speaker 2: the guy who owns Late known a country club and Isleworth,
- 1:01:08Speaker 2: two of the most premier neighborhoods in the entire Central
- 1:01:11Speaker 2: Florida area. This guy, uh.
- 1:01:14Speaker 13: Football league over in Uh So he's painfully rich, you know, yah,
- 1:01:18Speaker 13: painfully with wealthy and and and and and I think
- 1:01:22Speaker 13: I think in their private moments, even a lot of
- 1:01:25Speaker 13: conservatives would say that this has been nuts because Trump
- 1:01:28Speaker 13: has pardoned some weird people like George Santos. Yeah, in
- 1:01:33Speaker 13: the United States of America, was craving for George Santos
- 1:01:38Speaker 13: to get a presidential pardon. Or if you go back further,
- 1:01:40Speaker 13: he pardoned Rod butgoy of this? Yeah, yeah, very corrupt democratic?
- 1:01:45Speaker 13: I bet, are you a politician out of Illinois?
- 1:01:49Speaker 2: So he also pardoned the other Did you have a
- 1:01:52Speaker 2: Robert uh another politician who he but he uh he
- 1:01:56Speaker 2: he pardoned him and pardon him, guess because he didn't
- 1:01:59Speaker 2: want him to run again. And then dude ran immediately
- 1:02:02Speaker 2: filed to run again. Robert Herrera or something like that.
- 1:02:06Speaker 13: There's another thing I forgot about that and of course,
- 1:02:08Speaker 13: then there spent just his like close political operatives. He's
- 1:02:11Speaker 13: pardoned like Rogers, Roger Stone and Mike Michael Flynn. Yeah,
- 1:02:16Speaker 13: going back, and I got to say, I would have
- 1:02:18Speaker 13: thought this is laughable. But I would have thought it
- 1:02:21Speaker 13: was laughable if you told me George Santos might stand
- 1:02:24Speaker 13: to get a pardon, because.
- 1:02:25Speaker 2: Why got rested like ten days later and told it
- 1:02:32Speaker 2: was crazy?
- 1:02:33Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and he was.
- 1:02:34Speaker 13: I mean, seriously, there was no redeeming value at all
- 1:02:36Speaker 13: to George Santis.
- 1:02:37Speaker 3: I don't get that.
- 1:02:38Speaker 13: But one of the things I decided to do was
- 1:02:39Speaker 13: I went back and talked to one of Joel's victims, because, uh,
- 1:02:43Speaker 13: a lot of people remember all the things I just mentioned,
- 1:02:45Speaker 13: like the sex trafficking charge, the embezzlement, but the very
- 1:02:48Speaker 13: a lot of people forget the very first charge Joel
- 1:02:52Speaker 13: got racked up on. Was there was this guy, this
- 1:02:55Speaker 13: really innocent guy, a school teacher at Trinity Prep, who
- 1:02:59Speaker 13: decided he'd wanted to run against Joel Greenberg as a
- 1:03:03Speaker 13: for tax collector. I mean, this guy had no really
- 1:03:05Speaker 13: experience in politics. He was just like, this guy looks
- 1:03:07Speaker 13: like a bad guy. I think I can bring some
- 1:03:08Speaker 13: integrity to the office, Joel put together an anonymous smear
- 1:03:12Speaker 13: campaign accusing this teacher of having sexual relations with students.
- 1:03:17Speaker 3: Yeah, he got suspended.
- 1:03:18Speaker 13: From his job, because what are you gonna do if
- 1:03:20Speaker 13: you're running a school and you get an accusation right
- 1:03:23Speaker 13: from a student, they have to do this. I mean,
- 1:03:25Speaker 13: that was one of the six charges to which he
- 1:03:27Speaker 13: ultimately planned. And I gotta tell you that guy, his
- 1:03:29Speaker 13: name is Brian Butte. When I'm talking to him, he said,
- 1:03:31Speaker 13: you know what, nobody's given me or my family a pardon.
- 1:03:34Speaker 13: You know, I'm still dealing with the consequences from this malicious,
- 1:03:38Speaker 13: bogus slander nearly a decade later. So he doesn't think
- 1:03:42Speaker 13: much of Joel seeing that, thinking that his six or
- 1:03:44Speaker 13: seven years is time enough.
- 1:03:46Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred percent. Let's talk about the commission and
- 1:03:50Speaker 2: the approval of some of the money that's going to
- 1:03:52Speaker 2: be headed out in the next year or so. And
- 1:03:56Speaker 2: I found it kind of interesting. I was talking to
- 1:03:58Speaker 2: deb a little bit earlier. She had at news fifty
- 1:04:00Speaker 2: million for the Eatonville Museum. We love that, but we
- 1:04:03Speaker 2: also love money for the Doctor Phillips Center. I was saying,
- 1:04:06Speaker 2: you know, my thing is like it's a bunch of money,
- 1:04:07Speaker 2: but I think the Doctor Phillips Center has become like
- 1:04:10Speaker 2: the epicenter of culture in our city, and I can't
- 1:04:13Speaker 2: I mean, in my opinion, I like, you can't make
- 1:04:16Speaker 2: that bigger or better enough for me. I don't know
- 1:04:18Speaker 2: about how you feel about that.
- 1:04:19Speaker 13: Nice I love the Doctor Phillips Center, and I think
- 1:04:22Speaker 13: they should get more money. I was a little a
- 1:04:25Speaker 13: little bit of sticker shot by their asking amount was
- 1:04:27Speaker 13: I think seven hundred and fifty million, fifty six. Well,
- 1:04:30Speaker 13: once upon a time you would have been able to
- 1:04:32Speaker 13: build a city for that, and that's just an expansion there.
- 1:04:36Speaker 13: But yeah, what we saw in this vote, and it
- 1:04:39Speaker 13: was really historic. I'm gonna be writing about it for Sunday,
- 1:04:42Speaker 13: was this this task force at the mayor, Jerry Demmos,
- 1:04:44Speaker 13: the county mayor put together.
- 1:04:46Speaker 3: They said no to the convention Center.
- 1:04:49Speaker 13: They said no to once again expanding a building that's
- 1:04:51Speaker 13: already seven million square feet. And what they focused on
- 1:04:55Speaker 13: was what you're talking about projects that actually benefit this community.
- 1:04:58Speaker 13: Some They there were things like arts groups, like smaller ones,
- 1:05:04Speaker 13: not just the Doctor Phillips, Eatonville Camping World, some things
- 1:05:08Speaker 13: going on out there, but they basically focused on things
- 1:05:10Speaker 13: that they thought residents here could enjoy. That was a
- 1:05:13Speaker 13: big stand up to the hotel, your community. And when
- 1:05:18Speaker 13: the final vote went down, it was something like twenty
- 1:05:20Speaker 13: eight to two and the only two people who voted
- 1:05:22Speaker 13: against it were the Central Heart Florida Hotel Lodging Association rep.
- 1:05:26Speaker 3: Which is not a real good look on them, right,
- 1:05:28Speaker 3: and the.
- 1:05:29Speaker 13: Representative of the Orlando Hilton, which is the hotel attached to.
- 1:05:33Speaker 3: The convention center. So it shows you, I mean there
- 1:05:36Speaker 3: were financial motives.
- 1:05:37Speaker 13: Everybody else said, no, you know what, we've had enough,
- 1:05:40Speaker 13: we need to start spreading. And the other thing they
- 1:05:42Speaker 13: did after that was they took another twenty eight to
- 1:05:45Speaker 13: two or twenty seven to two vote to say enough
- 1:05:48Speaker 13: playing games with this. We want to make a serious
- 1:05:50Speaker 13: effort to go to Tallahassee and change the law, because
- 1:05:53Speaker 13: we shouldn't have to always vote on whether to spend
- 1:05:55Speaker 13: on a convention center or a football stadium or in
- 1:05:58Speaker 13: our stadium. We should be able to spend it on
- 1:06:00Speaker 13: on on mass transition rail, yeah, master any of these things,
- 1:06:05Speaker 13: things that local taxpayers otherwise have to pay for.
- 1:06:08Speaker 3: This was an overwhelming vote to buck the status.
- 1:06:10Speaker 2: Yeah you know, I didn't hear anything about the canopy
- 1:06:13Speaker 2: in that. But is that canopy already funded? Because I
- 1:06:15Speaker 2: just read that that's starting construction soon for the canopy.
- 1:06:18Speaker 2: Is that that thing they're putting under I four downtown
- 1:06:21Speaker 2: like the by the Kia Center.
- 1:06:24Speaker 13: I am ninety I'm gonna go with six point four
- 1:06:27Speaker 13: percent sure that there's none of this that money, none
- 1:06:30Speaker 13: of this money, hotel tax money going toward that. That's
- 1:06:32Speaker 13: a city project funded entirely that way. Last touch, Yeah, gotcha.
- 1:06:35Speaker 2: I did not know the answer to that because I
- 1:06:37Speaker 2: had no idea, you know where it wasn't mentioned in that,
- 1:06:40Speaker 2: But I did not know. I don't know what the
- 1:06:41Speaker 2: dollar value of that is either, So well, yeah, and
- 1:06:45Speaker 2: I got to tell you talk about dollar value. That
- 1:06:47Speaker 2: was another thing that this group finally paid attention to,
- 1:06:50Speaker 2: and it was something I wrote about, and I said,
- 1:06:51Speaker 2: start looking at return on investment. The Convention Center was
- 1:06:54Speaker 2: asking for half a billion dollars in exchange for bringing
- 1:06:57Speaker 2: another one hundred and fifty thousand people a year to
- 1:07:00Speaker 2: this community. Maybe one hundred and fifty thousand people sounds
- 1:07:03Speaker 2: like a lot if you're in Sheboygan or you know,
- 1:07:06Speaker 2: something like that. But we have seventy seven million people
- 1:07:08Speaker 2: that come here. You're talking about spending a half billion
- 1:07:11Speaker 2: tax dollars to increase the visitation count here by zero
- 1:07:14Speaker 2: point zero two percent. That's a pretty sorry ROI that
- 1:07:18Speaker 2: would be like they would literally be adding one day
- 1:07:21Speaker 2: for the parts. I mean, that's exactly That's exactly what
- 1:07:24Speaker 2: it is, right because I think both of them are
- 1:07:25Speaker 2: like sixty.
- 1:07:27Speaker 13: Less than one day for some of the parts. It's
- 1:07:29Speaker 13: like a good couple of days at SeaWorld, you know.
- 1:07:32Speaker 13: But Magic Kingdom by far. Yes, I mean, if you
- 1:07:36Speaker 13: think that's worth a half a billion dollars, what should
- 1:07:38Speaker 13: we be given universal twenty.
- 1:07:40Speaker 3: Billion dollars of our tax dollars. Don't don't give them.
- 1:07:42Speaker 2: Any ideas though, after Hey, did you have a heads
- 1:07:44Speaker 2: up that's how the vote was going to go? Or
- 1:07:46Speaker 2: were you shocked by this?
- 1:07:47Speaker 13: I was shocked by this where you're yeah, I mean
- 1:07:50Speaker 13: I knew there was growing resentment. I knew the public
- 1:07:54Speaker 13: God blessed the public.
- 1:07:55Speaker 14: Man.
- 1:07:56Speaker 13: These people, members of the public churches, churches came together
- 1:08:00Speaker 13: and said, you have a moral obligation to stop wasting
- 1:08:03Speaker 13: this money. And they would sit in the audience and
- 1:08:05Speaker 13: wait three hours to get their one minute speaking time
- 1:08:08Speaker 13: to say, stop trying to raise taxes on people who
- 1:08:11Speaker 13: live here while you're blowing this money on these projects.
- 1:08:15Speaker 13: And I since the public sentiment was changing, but I
- 1:08:17Speaker 13: didn't think it would be that overwhelmed.
- 1:08:19Speaker 6: Scott does, does the fact that this is Jerry Deming's
- 1:08:23Speaker 6: lame duck, like he's on his way out play into
- 1:08:26Speaker 6: this at all?
- 1:08:27Speaker 3: At at not conserlutely. Yeah, great question.
- 1:08:30Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:08:30Speaker 13: Do you you know what you guys were all about
- 1:08:32Speaker 13: the same age. Do you remember the movie Brewsters Million?
- 1:08:35Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, Yeah, Richard Pryor had to spend thirty million
- 1:08:38Speaker 2: dollars in a certain period of time and he would
- 1:08:39Speaker 2: get another go. Yeah.
- 1:08:41Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:08:41Speaker 13: Now, in case you weren't watching the movie or familiar
- 1:08:44Speaker 13: with the premise, is that that idea is stupid to
- 1:08:47Speaker 13: try to spending that much money, but that this looked
- 1:08:51Speaker 13: like Dimmings billions to me. This was his way out
- 1:08:53Speaker 13: the door, and he was trying to lock up, you know,
- 1:08:55Speaker 13: a billion dollars basically to you know, make sure it
- 1:08:58Speaker 13: wasn't available for other things. To his credit, he told
- 1:09:01Speaker 13: the newspaper today he's not going to try to resurrect
- 1:09:03Speaker 13: the convention center expansion plan that he heard the citizens
- 1:09:07Speaker 13: loud and clear, and I hope we elect people which
- 1:09:10Speaker 13: starts next Tuesday.
- 1:09:11Speaker 3: Who uh, who are going to push for more of
- 1:09:13Speaker 3: this money to.
- 1:09:13Speaker 2: Be used in local Hey? You know interestingly, you know,
- 1:09:16Speaker 2: have we heard what Jerry Dimmings has planned after his
- 1:09:19Speaker 2: tenure as mayor? Have we has he talked about his
- 1:09:21Speaker 2: political aspirations? I mean he seems like a guy that
- 1:09:23Speaker 2: makes me a good rule for governor.
- 1:09:25Speaker 6: He was running for governor and he backed out because
- 1:09:27Speaker 6: of his cancer diagnosed.
- 1:09:28Speaker 2: Oh that's right, yeah, yeah, he was.
- 1:09:31Speaker 13: He would have been the only I think he would
- 1:09:33Speaker 13: have lost to the primary, but he was the only
- 1:09:35Speaker 13: serious contender, uh to David Jolly and the Democratic primary,
- 1:09:40Speaker 13: and frankly would have had I mean, David Jolly had
- 1:09:42Speaker 13: most of the money, but Jerry Dimmings would have had
- 1:09:44Speaker 13: the tourism community, which is deep pocketed.
- 1:09:46Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, for sure. Always gonna see Anyboddy. All right,
- 1:09:49Speaker 2: thanks guys. I always appreciate that.

- 1:18:11Speaker 22: Saturday Night. Last year I went with both my sons,

- 1:19:21Speaker 2: just absolutely ado him. He runs this company exactly the

- 1:19:33Speaker 2: every single time, all right, say every single time. I
- 1:19:35Speaker 2: think it came off the top of your head.
- 1:19:37Speaker 6: It was several years ago where you just dropped the
- 1:19:39Speaker 6: line that the John Wayne of a c Yeah, he's
- 1:19:45Speaker 6: so cool. But he also sponsors so much about to do.

- 1:20:20Speaker 2: had so much fun on you. Yeah, it was so
- 1:20:23Speaker 2: much fun. It was a good mean ingea. I think
- 1:20:24Speaker 2: actually remember you and your crew because your two boys,
- 1:20:26Speaker 2: I don't think left your side the entire night like
- 1:20:29Speaker 2: a like a security guards. But that's exactly the experience
- 1:20:32Speaker 2: we have. Our boy Big Tea comes out, Swilly's come
- 1:20:34Speaker 2: out before as well. Yep, people you hear on the
- 1:20:36Speaker 2: air with us quite often and we love seeing them. Man,
- 1:20:39Speaker 2: it's great. Yeah, it's one of my favorite nights of
- 1:20:41Speaker 2: the year, all right, jack. So we know for a fact,
- 1:20:44Speaker 2: over those last like eighteen months are so it been
- 1:20:47Speaker 2: a kind of fun day at airports. We're watching one
- 1:20:51Speaker 2: right now YouTube. I say that facetiously. It's been kind
- 1:20:54Speaker 2: of weird at airports. Sure it's been a little more
- 1:20:57Speaker 2: calm recently, but we had a spate of uh oh
- 1:20:59Speaker 2: near yeah, yeah, not near missus. So the US government
- 1:21:04Speaker 2: goes out the Department of Transportation says, you know what,
- 1:21:06Speaker 2: let's let's start re let's reassure that we have the
- 1:21:11Speaker 2: best air traffic controllers out there. We want to make
- 1:21:14Speaker 2: sure that we're stepping this up. And they went on
- 1:21:16Speaker 2: a hiring binge. A matter of fact, they hired so
- 1:21:18Speaker 2: many people they reached the ninety four percentile of how
- 1:21:22Speaker 2: many people need to be staffed for air traffic controllers
- 1:21:25Speaker 2: in the US.
- 1:21:26Speaker 3: Oh that's good news.
- 1:21:27Speaker 2: Yeah, they broke records for numbers of hires and fastest
- 1:21:30Speaker 2: time to reach ninety four percent of its goal. And
- 1:21:34Speaker 2: they look for a specific group of people and they
- 1:21:37Speaker 2: targeted those people, and that's exactly what happened. Ten thousand
- 1:21:40Speaker 2: qualified candidates applied for a career as an air traffic
- 1:21:43Speaker 2: controller during a one day application Windows sign up. So
- 1:21:48Speaker 2: in twenty four hours, okay, ten thousand people signed up
- 1:21:51Speaker 2: to be an air traffic controller. Two thousand people were hired. Okay,
- 1:21:57Speaker 2: And they launched a new campaign. And in the story,
- 1:22:00Speaker 2: the words new campaign are in capital letters. And they
- 1:22:04Speaker 2: were looking for a certain group of people. Who do
- 1:22:06Speaker 2: you think that may be?
- 1:22:07Speaker 6: Jack, Oh, robots, artificial intelligence?
- 1:22:13Speaker 3: How about people who know better than anybody else? Pilots?
- 1:22:17Speaker 2: Oh it's not pilots, but.
- 1:22:19Speaker 3: I mean, who better to know.
- 1:22:21Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean how the process goes than like maybe
- 1:22:24Speaker 7: retired pilots.
- 1:22:25Speaker 3: Oh, I got it. People on the spectrum. That's not
- 1:22:28Speaker 3: a bad one.
- 1:22:29Speaker 2: No, because the level of focus, yeah, exactly, and not
- 1:22:32Speaker 2: being easily distracted by the stuff. Look, man, after these hires,
- 1:22:35Speaker 2: there's like, look, we're super charging the entire process to
- 1:22:38Speaker 2: get the best and brightest out there and get them
- 1:22:40Speaker 2: in those positions faster. The results have been historic. Again
- 1:22:44Speaker 2: all caps.
- 1:22:46Speaker 7: Somebody just texted us at seven to seven zero three
- 1:22:48Speaker 7: one saying veterans.
- 1:22:49Speaker 2: It's not veteran, great idea, Yeah no.
- 1:22:54Speaker 3: I mean they've had discipline built into them. No, it's gamers, gamers,
- 1:22:59Speaker 3: it's gamer it makes sense.
- 1:23:01Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, a future air traffic controller. You didn't even
- 1:23:04Speaker 7: know it.
- 1:23:05Speaker 2: Yeah, you know in the gaming girl, I think I
- 1:23:07Speaker 2: might be at that tail.
- 1:23:09Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:23:09Speaker 2: Yeah, there's only four hundred eleven year old Koreana that
- 1:23:14Speaker 2: will beat you, like literally with one hand tie behind
- 1:23:17Speaker 2: their back, blindfolded. But yeah, they're looking for gamers. That's
- 1:23:20Speaker 2: exactly what happened. In April, we launched a new campaign
- 1:23:22Speaker 2: to recruit video gamers as air traffic controllers, and the
- 1:23:25Speaker 2: super charged the entire hiring process to make this happen.
- 1:23:29Speaker 2: It was a one of a kind recruitment initiative. And
- 1:23:32Speaker 2: the thing is is, if you'd hit me up with
- 1:23:35Speaker 2: this kind of like eight nine years ago, I'd been like, nah,
- 1:23:38Speaker 2: I'm gonna want to know what airports the gamers are
- 1:23:41Speaker 2: employed at before I start flying around I can avoid.
- 1:23:44Speaker 2: But now, man, I gotta tell you, I think maybe
- 1:23:46Speaker 2: some of the most talented people out there doing this.
- 1:23:49Speaker 2: You we know doctors have used gaming to train for
- 1:23:52Speaker 2: doing remote.
- 1:23:54Speaker 6: Surgeries or anything that where the similarities match on what
- 1:23:59Speaker 6: you're doing it. And it's those surgeries where they're kind
- 1:24:02Speaker 6: of doing is it our talk where you're watching the screen, Yes,
- 1:24:06Speaker 6: manipulating something using a controller.
- 1:24:09Speaker 2: That's what gaming is. That's exactly what the tool is to.
- 1:24:12Speaker 3: Buy your stakes.
- 1:24:12Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly.
- 1:24:14Speaker 7: But I mean for years, you know all that oh
- 1:24:16Speaker 7: that skill is going to do nothing for you.
- 1:24:18Speaker 3: You're wasting your time.
- 1:24:19Speaker 7: And yet, like Jack just said, some of the best
- 1:24:22Speaker 7: robotic surgeons where kids you grew up with, those that
- 1:24:25Speaker 7: dexterity that you need to be able to, you know,
- 1:24:28Speaker 7: operate things minutely on it. I mean, Jimmy, you talked
- 1:24:31Speaker 7: about one of the hardest things in beginning, gaming is
- 1:24:33Speaker 7: just learning.
- 1:24:34Speaker 2: Oh yeah, man, the controller will controller. You will just
- 1:24:37Speaker 2: lose your mind trying to figure the controller out. I
- 1:24:39Speaker 2: had that cat jumping in the walls for two days. Yeah,
- 1:24:42Speaker 2: I mean I was starting to figure out this cat
- 1:24:43Speaker 2: thing and how it runs and walks and everything like
- 1:24:45Speaker 2: that on one of these video games. And it is wild.
- 1:24:47Speaker 2: Like you know, somebody mentioned, like a Scott mentioned the
- 1:24:49Speaker 2: other day, have you ever heard about how hard it
- 1:24:52Speaker 2: is to fly a helicopter? Yes, Like so, I lived
- 1:24:55Speaker 2: next door to a helicopter pilot. It was a pilot
- 1:24:57Speaker 2: for Orange County Police Department when I lived over here
- 1:25:00Speaker 2: close to the radio station. A cool guy. But he
- 1:25:03Speaker 2: told me, he goes, imagine, like so, your feet, from
- 1:25:06Speaker 2: what I understand, are working two different things, and your
- 1:25:09Speaker 2: hands are working two different things. So we have a
- 1:25:11Speaker 2: drummer in the sky. He goes, basically, imagine like you're
- 1:25:15Speaker 2: you're putting like a piece of wood out in front
- 1:25:17Speaker 2: of you and putting a like a a like a
- 1:25:19Speaker 2: marble in the middle of it, and you have to
- 1:25:22Speaker 2: move forward in sideways and everything, and that marble can
- 1:25:25Speaker 2: never move off the top of that that piece of
- 1:25:27Speaker 2: wood or table or whatever. It is because the machine
- 1:25:30Speaker 2: and you're doing that with all different things at different times.
- 1:25:33Speaker 2: He goes, it's very difficult to fly it well, and
- 1:25:35Speaker 2: it's a tough learning curve as well. But I would
- 1:25:38Speaker 2: think with gamers and aren't there already like flight simulation
- 1:25:41Speaker 2: games that you can download and just play?
- 1:25:43Speaker 3: Oh, absolutely of them, right, and they've gotten better and better.
- 1:25:46Speaker 6: There's a new one where you can actually fly over Orlando,
- 1:25:50Speaker 6: and I think they use Google Earth or Google Maps
- 1:25:54Speaker 6: where you can fly over your house and see your.
- 1:25:56Speaker 3: House really in the game.
- 1:25:58Speaker 5: You know.
- 1:25:58Speaker 2: In all my years, my wife used to make fun
- 1:26:00Speaker 2: of me when we would fly in Orlando. I would say,
- 1:26:03Speaker 2: one day, I'm going to find my house.
- 1:26:05Speaker 3: Oh, that's one.
- 1:26:06Speaker 6: One day we're going to fly in a pattern, and
- 1:26:09Speaker 6: that's why I want the windows.
- 1:26:11Speaker 2: One day we're going to find a pattern. And my
- 1:26:12Speaker 2: wife would mock me and mock me and mock me
- 1:26:16Speaker 2: and laugh and look rightly, so, because what are the chances, right,
- 1:26:19Speaker 2: you're ten thousand feet in the air, you know, for
- 1:26:22Speaker 2: your house looks like a like a monopoly house, right,
- 1:26:26Speaker 2: Just so happens we're flying in from I want to
- 1:26:28Speaker 2: say Dallas, not Dallas, San Antonio, and we're coming in
- 1:26:32Speaker 2: and I'm like, wait a minute, I recognize that. Hold up,
- 1:26:36Speaker 2: I recognize it. It was the shape of the lake that
- 1:26:39Speaker 2: we lived near, and I said, that's our house right there,
- 1:26:42Speaker 2: and you're like, I'll be damn. It took ten years.
- 1:26:46Speaker 2: Ten years, but finally you get the doll. You have
- 1:26:48Speaker 2: to say.
- 1:26:48Speaker 6: I told you I've gotten close enough where I've been
- 1:26:51Speaker 6: able to identify my town because it was right after
- 1:26:54Speaker 6: they put in those.
- 1:26:56Speaker 2: Well, that big park should have been a give away too, right,
- 1:26:58Speaker 2: like a Central Winds park.
- 1:26:59Speaker 6: The thing that that caught my eye first then I
- 1:27:02Speaker 6: kind of verified, was the intersection when they first started
- 1:27:05Speaker 6: to where they cut it and make it look like
- 1:27:06Speaker 6: it's brick with the circle and stuff, so it looked
- 1:27:10Speaker 6: like it was brick, but it was really.
- 1:27:11Speaker 3: Just grooves in the asphalt.
- 1:27:13Speaker 6: And then they paint them and it was like I
- 1:27:15Speaker 6: spotted it right after they put that in. I'm like,
- 1:27:18Speaker 6: wait a minute, I know that. Then I look around
- 1:27:19Speaker 6: and I go, yep, there's a school and there's this,
- 1:27:22Speaker 6: and yeah, it's drop me off. I'll just hop out
- 1:27:27Speaker 6: here real quick.
- 1:27:28Speaker 2: On the gaming thing, so air traffic controllers, isn't that
- 1:27:31Speaker 2: more of a logistics thing. I mean where, tell me
- 1:27:33Speaker 2: where the controller and working the controller? How would that
- 1:27:37Speaker 2: come into play for an air traffic controller? Like for
- 1:27:40Speaker 2: a gamer, if you're working, you're working your handset. I
- 1:27:43Speaker 2: thought the whole thing with air traffic controllers is just
- 1:27:46Speaker 2: basically logistics, knowing who's going where or when what? How
- 1:27:50Speaker 2: all of those things. How would gaming help that?
- 1:27:52Speaker 7: I would think, just because they have to be locked
- 1:27:54Speaker 7: into their game for hours and notice the minutia and logistics.
- 1:27:59Speaker 2: And used to just looking at that screen and not
- 1:28:01Speaker 2: pulling away from that for hours at a time.
- 1:28:03Speaker 7: And your eyes already being adjusted to it. And someone
- 1:28:05Speaker 7: had texted us earlier at seven seven zero three one
- 1:28:08Speaker 7: saying that you have to be under thirty to apply
- 1:28:10Speaker 7: to get an air traffic controlling job. And I'd heard
- 1:28:12Speaker 7: that they have like stringent health. Uh, not only that
- 1:28:16Speaker 7: they have like you have to retire. I believe it's
- 1:28:18Speaker 7: like fifty five.
- 1:28:19Speaker 2: It is.
- 1:28:20Speaker 3: Yeah, So I mean you don't have a lot of years.
- 1:28:23Speaker 6: Which is why, and the training that goes into it,
- 1:28:25Speaker 6: get him young and try and max out the.
- 1:28:27Speaker 3: Exact I think it makes a lot of sense.
- 1:28:29Speaker 2: That's a great salary, right, Yeah, do you have to
- 1:28:32Speaker 2: have a Obviously, you don't have to have a degree
- 1:28:34Speaker 2: for that. They can just teach you how to do it.
- 1:28:36Speaker 2: I assume.
- 1:28:37Speaker 3: I would imagine you just.
- 1:28:38Speaker 2: Have to know how to hit the you know, xb
- 1:28:40Speaker 2: a trigger trigger. What do you think? What do you
- 1:28:45Speaker 2: think those guys make jet? I would say seventy five.
- 1:28:51Speaker 7: Somebody said, just texted us at seven seven zero three one.
- 1:28:54Speaker 7: My son is a huge gamer and that's actually what
- 1:28:57Speaker 7: he wants to do once he graduates.
- 1:28:58Speaker 2: Wow.
- 1:28:59Speaker 3: Really air traffic controller, and god knows we could use them.
- 1:29:02Speaker 2: The median annual wage for air traffic controllers, I don't
- 1:29:05Speaker 2: say is I'm going seventy five.
- 1:29:09Speaker 3: I'll go sixty five, one.
- 1:29:10Speaker 2: Hundred and forty four five and eighty dollars. You think
- 1:29:14Speaker 2: about the responsibility involved with that, Oh, I mean you're
- 1:29:17Speaker 2: not paying a guy like fifty k to direct a
- 1:29:19Speaker 2: plane full of people, you know around. I mean you
- 1:29:21Speaker 2: gotta pay those people some money, right, And by the way,
- 1:29:23Speaker 2: you can get up to two hundred and forty thousand
- 1:29:24Speaker 2: a year depending on I'm sure the airport, the traffic
- 1:29:27Speaker 2: you know, help you, the volume, the flights over time,
- 1:29:30Speaker 2: the stress, Yeah, yeah, all that stuff. Damn, that's good man. Yeah,
- 1:29:33Speaker 2: top and eighty six. The bottom range, like just sign
- 1:29:36Speaker 2: in is seventy six, and within within a couple of
- 1:29:40Speaker 2: years you're making one oh one.
- 1:29:42Speaker 7: Somebody did have a legit question, which would be seven
- 1:29:45Speaker 7: seven zero three one, Jimmy, is that why you moved
- 1:29:47Speaker 7: so much to increase your odds spotting your house from
- 1:29:50Speaker 7: the plane.
- 1:29:52Speaker 2: That's a fair statement, Yes, it is all right. Four
- 1:29:55Speaker 2: to seven nine one six four one text us at
- 1:29:59Speaker 2: seven seven zero three one. Have you guys heard the
- 1:30:01Speaker 2: shake check story yet? No, dude, I gotta tell you man,
- 1:30:05Speaker 2: I saw this today and I was like, there's no
- 1:30:07Speaker 2: way that's real. It's a Reddit story. There's no way
- 1:30:09Speaker 2: it's real. No way this is happening. And then they
- 1:30:11Speaker 2: admitted it was real, and I'll tell you what it
- 1:30:14Speaker 2: was next. What up, guys? Sport from Duval duv Jimmy
- 1:30:21Speaker 2: Picking save hell, Yes, dude, And we.
- 1:30:24Speaker 6: Had probably like four or five pick and saves up
- 1:30:26Speaker 6: here in Jackonville when I was growing up.
- 1:30:28Speaker 3: Man, pick and save was a blast, dude. You could
- 1:30:30Speaker 3: have pack a hot dog and pick and save for
- 1:30:32Speaker 3: like a quarter.
- 1:30:32Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:30:33Speaker 3: Yeah, they weren't that good.
- 1:30:34Speaker 14: But you still had a pack of hot dogs for
- 1:30:36Speaker 14: a quarter.
- 1:30:36Speaker 13: Matter of fact, my parents, my parents both work at
- 1:30:39Speaker 13: Pick and Save over fifty years ago and that's where
- 1:30:41Speaker 13: they met.
- 1:30:41Speaker 14: Man.
- 1:30:42Speaker 3: That's awesome, dude. Thanks for bringing up a good memory.
- 1:30:44Speaker 2: Jim, Thanks, but I appreciate it very much. By the way,
- 1:30:47Speaker 2: I believe Pick and Save when maybe the precursor to
- 1:30:51Speaker 2: like the Walmart that has groceries, because I remember they
- 1:30:55Speaker 2: had like a because I would immediately go to like
- 1:30:57Speaker 2: the sports and outdoor part, but they also had clothes
- 1:31:00Speaker 2: and they also had food. If I remember right. You
- 1:31:03Speaker 2: could buy like sewing machines and patterns and material and
- 1:31:07Speaker 2: everything there. It was crazy. It was like an all
- 1:31:09Speaker 2: in one store and then.
- 1:31:10Speaker 3: Sounds like the precursor to Walmart to me.
- 1:31:12Speaker 2: It was always packed and we never understood why it
- 1:31:15Speaker 2: went out of business. It was always slammed. And they
- 1:31:19Speaker 2: didn't build a Walmart down until years after that. We
- 1:31:22Speaker 2: had a Kmart for a while and that sucked.
- 1:31:25Speaker 6: Kmart was okay for what it was when it was Yeah, yeah.
- 1:31:29Speaker 3: Hey, nothing like the blue Light special.
- 1:31:31Speaker 6: Oh yeah, and your sneakers tied together with a string.

- 1:34:08Speaker 2: shake check right. So this has been there one time.
- 1:34:12Speaker 2: I've been there once as well. The win and Winter Park,
- 1:34:14Speaker 2: literally two weeks after they opened up, is when the
- 1:34:16Speaker 2: crowds finally got got low enough. Or you could go
- 1:34:19Speaker 2: in there and get a burger.
- 1:34:20Speaker 12: You know, it's a good burger.
- 1:34:22Speaker 7: I used to love Shakeshack just because of the ice
- 1:34:24Speaker 7: cream for my dog. Oh really, Yeah, they had a
- 1:34:26Speaker 7: great Sunday for the dog.
- 1:34:27Speaker 2: Look it's a good burger. I mean, look, here's the thing.
- 1:34:29Speaker 2: I don't know how much more you can do to
- 1:34:32Speaker 2: a burger. I mean it was well cooked, the beef
- 1:34:34Speaker 2: was high quality, the fries were good. It was awesome.
- 1:34:37Speaker 2: It was expensive, you know, with like seventeen eighteen dollars
- 1:34:39Speaker 2: or whatever it is for a hamburger, fries and a
- 1:34:41Speaker 2: drink or whatever. That's not the what I'm talking about here.
- 1:34:44Speaker 2: And their shakes are good too, by the way. So
- 1:34:46Speaker 2: a guy goes into a shake check and he orders
- 1:34:49Speaker 2: three shakes, right, and the shakes were a certain price
- 1:34:55Speaker 2: when he signed up for me, and I think there's
- 1:34:56Speaker 2: some kind of deal going on where they were actually
- 1:34:58Speaker 2: relatively cheap. And when he went to check out, he
- 1:35:01Speaker 2: scans his card or you know, swipes his card, and
- 1:35:04Speaker 2: when he goes to check out, they ask you that question, right,
- 1:35:06Speaker 2: the one we love so much. Gratuity? Yeah, yeah, the gratuity.
- 1:35:09Speaker 2: He hits no tip, and then when he hits no tip,
- 1:35:14Speaker 2: they charge him more for the shakes. What the price
- 1:35:18Speaker 2: goes up on the food when he chose not to tip. Now,
- 1:35:23Speaker 2: here's the funny thing. So he thought it was like,
- 1:35:25Speaker 2: he thought it was an anomaly, So we tried to
- 1:35:27Speaker 2: do it again. It happened again. So then he brings
- 1:35:30Speaker 2: it up online or whatever. Shake check you know, releases
- 1:35:33Speaker 2: this whole thing about how it was, you know, it
- 1:35:35Speaker 2: was just an anomally. He's got mixed up by we
- 1:35:37Speaker 2: fixed that whole thing, and it says it was only
- 1:35:40Speaker 2: isolated to that one location. And I was like, the
- 1:35:43Speaker 2: fact that you could even do that, the fact that
- 1:35:45Speaker 2: you could even program your tip machine, because how many
- 1:35:48Speaker 2: people pay attention after they pay.
- 1:35:50Speaker 3: Or even know that it's only one location?
- 1:35:52Speaker 2: Yeah, how many people like I don't know about you guys.
- 1:35:54Speaker 2: Like when I go into a place like that and
- 1:35:56Speaker 2: order my food, they give me the price. I'll be
- 1:35:58Speaker 2: twenty five dollars. I swipe my card. If I tip,
- 1:36:00Speaker 2: I tip. If I don't, I don't move on.
- 1:36:02Speaker 6: You don't expect that price to change after that, exactly.
- 1:36:05Speaker 2: I don't look down at my receipt to be sure
- 1:36:07Speaker 2: it matches up with A dude just told me three
- 1:36:09Speaker 2: seconds ago, well now you have to, and the I said,
- 1:36:13Speaker 2: bad luck. That is a terrible look. And man, this
- 1:36:16Speaker 2: thing God wants as.
- 1:36:17Speaker 6: Bad as telling people they can't have cake in your
- 1:36:19Speaker 6: pizza area.
- 1:36:20Speaker 2: And this thing got an ass load of responses because
- 1:36:23Speaker 2: people were losing their mind because they were saying exactly
- 1:36:25Speaker 2: the same thing we're saying, like, oh so now we
- 1:36:27Speaker 2: have to check literally every receipt that we scan. And
- 1:36:31Speaker 2: the other guy, I was falling online what this guy
- 1:36:34Speaker 2: does and this He did this for a year. He
- 1:36:36Speaker 2: did a gofund me and he raised money. He says,
- 1:36:39Speaker 2: I'm gonna do this for a year. If you want
- 1:36:41Speaker 2: to see what this really looks like, you let me
- 1:36:43Speaker 2: know you can donate, right, And this is what he did.
- 1:36:46Speaker 2: He goes around the country and he goes to stores
- 1:36:50Speaker 2: in different places. It could be a Walmart in Orlando,
- 1:36:52Speaker 2: could be a Walmart, Winter Park could be a Walmart,
- 1:36:54Speaker 2: and Pimbic Pines. Then he goes to Georgia, could be
- 1:36:57Speaker 2: a Walmart in Atlanta. And he does this multiple stores
- 1:37:01Speaker 2: and what what he's trying to prove is is they're
- 1:37:04Speaker 2: screwing you over on the weight of food. He started
- 1:37:08Speaker 2: finding food like hams right that had been priced by
- 1:37:11Speaker 2: the store saying it was like a pound and a
- 1:37:13Speaker 2: half or a three pound ham. He goes to put
- 1:37:15Speaker 2: it on the scale it's a half a pound short.
- 1:37:19Speaker 2: He did that with chicken breast. He did that with
- 1:37:21Speaker 2: any like pre cut meat from the deli. Yea, and dude,
- 1:37:24Speaker 2: it was crazy. He went want one of these Walmarts,
- 1:37:28Speaker 2: one of these stores. I can't say Walmart because I
- 1:37:30Speaker 2: don't want to say that if it's not accurate. I
- 1:37:32Speaker 2: can't remember exactly, but one of these stores he went
- 1:37:35Speaker 2: in and he bought chicken breast, packs of chicken breast,
- 1:37:37Speaker 2: and out of the twenty he purchased, thirteen of them
- 1:37:40Speaker 2: were underweight, some of them by half a pound. Now
- 1:37:44Speaker 2: some of them just by a couple ounces. But your
- 1:37:46Speaker 2: whole thing is like like you should not be paying
- 1:37:49Speaker 2: for like the packaging. And you know what they when
- 1:37:51Speaker 2: they put chicken in a package, especially in those big
- 1:37:54Speaker 2: family ones, they put that what's that soaker thing under there?
- 1:37:56Speaker 3: What is that?
- 1:37:57Speaker 2: Yeah? That little pad, that little pad that soaks up
- 1:37:59Speaker 2: all the juice or whatever. Well, that weighs something. Have
- 1:38:02Speaker 2: you ever pulled one of those out? Like that weighs
- 1:38:03Speaker 2: something that has weight, And if they don't tear that
- 1:38:06Speaker 2: out when they're weighing things, you will pay for that
- 1:38:09Speaker 2: chicken juice.
- 1:38:10Speaker 6: Although it's the weight is the juice from the meat,
- 1:38:15Speaker 6: which you're no longer getting.
- 1:38:17Speaker 2: Yeah, you know you're still buying it. You're you're I
- 1:38:20Speaker 2: don't go to pay for juice. Yeah, yeah, I'm eat juice.
- 1:38:23Speaker 2: You don't want the meat juice. Right, I'm not making
- 1:38:26Speaker 2: a meat juice sandwich. I'm making a chicken sandwich.
- 1:38:28Speaker 6: I remember when I that I mentioned earlier my very
- 1:38:32Speaker 6: first job checkout person at food time, when they check
- 1:38:34Speaker 6: out one anything in a bag that was weighed, you'd
- 1:38:37Speaker 6: hit one tear to take off to allow for the
- 1:38:41Speaker 6: weight of.
- 1:38:42Speaker 2: The bag, which was like nothing anyway, right right, Well
- 1:38:44Speaker 2: they have that now when you about the self checkout, Yeah, yeah,
- 1:38:47Speaker 2: they had that in self checkout your house this package,
- 1:38:49Speaker 2: yeah is it? Is it a vegetable bag or is
- 1:38:51Speaker 2: it a produce bag? Is it a or whatever? So
- 1:38:53Speaker 2: that way it can tear out the weight, right.
- 1:38:55Speaker 14: Yeah.
- 1:38:56Speaker 2: But this guy was losing his mind because and he's
- 1:38:58Speaker 2: about to do it again. He's raising more money to
- 1:39:01Speaker 2: go out and do this again. And I mean nobody
- 1:39:03Speaker 2: was safe. For the record, there was not one store
- 1:39:06Speaker 2: that he said that it was perfect across the board.
- 1:39:08Speaker 2: That and we've heard this with publics as well, that
- 1:39:10Speaker 2: they didn't you know, they haven't. There was a big
- 1:39:12Speaker 2: thing about them not calibrating their their scales properly. I
- 1:39:16Speaker 2: wonder it's like that in gallons of gasoline. I I
- 1:39:19Speaker 2: you always sketch down with that. Well, you know, how
- 1:39:21Speaker 2: do you know you got a gallon? You don't know
- 1:39:23Speaker 2: unless you're filling up a gallon container you get you
- 1:39:26Speaker 2: do not know the answer that you're just trusting them
- 1:39:28Speaker 2: unless you take a gallon of milk or a gallon container. Yeah,
- 1:39:31Speaker 2: and you filled up. You're right, you have no idea.
- 1:39:33Speaker 6: And I think there once was a time where some
- 1:39:36Speaker 6: officer would come over, you know, some federal employee would
- 1:39:39Speaker 6: come over and they would check your pumps or from
- 1:39:41Speaker 6: the state. They'd make sure they're all calibrated properly. But
- 1:39:46Speaker 6: that's probably a thing in the past. It never happens anymore.
- 1:39:49Speaker 6: But you'd need someone to kind of randomly check these scales.
- 1:39:54Speaker 6: And if it's not someone exposing them on social media,
- 1:39:57Speaker 6: it should be that the people who are on your
- 1:39:59Speaker 6: side on the news.
- 1:40:00Speaker 2: Yeah. But the thing is is people on the TV
- 1:40:03Speaker 2: news have to deal with people spending money on the
- 1:40:05Speaker 2: TV news. Yeah, they do hard to bust Walmart when
- 1:40:08Speaker 2: Walmart's your biggest client.
- 1:40:09Speaker 3: Oh without a doubt.
- 1:40:10Speaker 2: Ye yeah, hard to bust any store that spends an
- 1:40:12Speaker 2: asshold of money with you. You're not gonna go up
- 1:40:14Speaker 2: there and tell everybody the Public's scales are bad. In
- 1:40:16Speaker 2: Public's is the number one spender on your on your
- 1:40:18Speaker 2: TV station.
- 1:40:19Speaker 7: Well, but at the same time, it's just like you said,
- 1:40:21Speaker 7: there was no store that was that was left off
- 1:40:25Speaker 7: of this.
- 1:40:25Speaker 3: So this just tells me.
- 1:40:26Speaker 7: It's kind of like any other service you get where
- 1:40:29Speaker 7: they might slap a dollar ninety nine charge, you know,
- 1:40:32Speaker 7: maybe a three ninety nine charge, and if you're not
- 1:40:35Speaker 7: going through your bills with a fine tooth calm, those
- 1:40:38Speaker 7: you know, four dollars, three dollars adds up, they're.
- 1:40:41Speaker 3: Just counting on us not paying attention.
- 1:40:43Speaker 7: Because if they're all doing it, that means they're all
- 1:40:45Speaker 7: doing it and they're aware that it's going on.
- 1:40:47Speaker 3: It's up to us to catch them, which is sad.
- 1:40:49Speaker 6: Andy for the amount of time that you eat out,
- 1:40:51Speaker 6: how many times might have you might have you missed
- 1:40:54Speaker 6: that oh sir fee of like yeah, you know, but
- 1:40:58Speaker 6: processing fee whatever it.
- 1:40:59Speaker 2: Is, don't look at that thing when they give it over,
- 1:41:01Speaker 2: I sign it because when I see the original thing,
- 1:41:02Speaker 2: I see the receipt, I give them my card, They
- 1:41:05Speaker 2: bring the receipt back and I just sign it. I
- 1:41:07Speaker 2: don't really pay attention to that. I just assume they're
- 1:41:10Speaker 2: on the up and up.
- 1:41:11Speaker 3: That's the problem right now.
- 1:41:12Speaker 6: People are saying that the Department of Agriculture continues to
- 1:41:16Speaker 6: check gas stations to make sure they're pumping a gallon.
- 1:41:19Speaker 2: Yeah, that says a gallon? Yeah, a couple times a year. Really, yeah,
- 1:41:23Speaker 2: Well they should do that further other things as well.
- 1:41:25Speaker 2: I mean that would be that would fall under the
- 1:41:27Speaker 2: Department of Agriculture as well, would it not? Or would
- 1:41:28Speaker 2: that be commerce? They would go into grocery stores to
- 1:41:32Speaker 2: find out that their scales are calibrated correctly. Why not FDA? Yeah,
- 1:41:36Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 1:41:37Speaker 7: But a couple of people are texting and saying that
- 1:41:40Speaker 7: we're shopping as a pleasure. Did get sued for that,
- 1:41:42Speaker 7: but one because the judge said you cannot go back,
- 1:41:47Speaker 7: or said you can go back for the refund?
- 1:41:49Speaker 2: Oh really?
- 1:41:50Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 1:41:50Speaker 2: Yeah, well I know that the publics they got hit
- 1:41:53Speaker 2: here in Orlando, and then on the West Coast people
- 1:41:56Speaker 2: started doing it over there. Once the thing went kind
- 1:41:58Speaker 2: of viral online. People started doing it. They're like, hey, man,
- 1:42:01Speaker 2: it happens over here as well, So you know, I
- 1:42:03Speaker 2: don't I can't imagine what publics that was a company policy. Hey, look,
- 1:42:08Speaker 2: let's try to skim a couple. But when you think
- 1:42:10Speaker 2: about how many of these locations they have, and when
- 1:42:13Speaker 2: you think about how many locations like people like Walmart,
- 1:42:15Speaker 2: Publics other stores have, they don't need to make a
- 1:42:18Speaker 2: bunch on one sale. When you're if you're if you're
- 1:42:20Speaker 2: just skimming a quarter every time somebody buys a pound
- 1:42:23Speaker 2: of chicken or ham or hamburg or whatever times. How
- 1:42:26Speaker 2: many ever Walmart's there are, I mean, how much money
- 1:42:29Speaker 2: could that be in a day?
- 1:42:30Speaker 7: Somebody just said that Walmart actually just started telling people
- 1:42:33Speaker 7: they're not allowed to film in their stores anymore.
- 1:42:35Speaker 2: I wonder what, But that's exactly what this guy was doing.
- 1:42:37Speaker 2: By the way he was, That's why he wasn't even
- 1:42:40Speaker 2: remotely cool about it. Yeah, dude was taking it right
- 1:42:43Speaker 2: to the scales with his phone out, employees walking around.
- 1:42:47Speaker 2: He did not care. He's like doing the entire thing
- 1:42:49Speaker 2: in the store.
- 1:42:50Speaker 6: I don't like that you can't film in the store anymore.
- 1:42:53Speaker 6: First of all, screw you.
- 1:42:54Speaker 2: Yeah, right, exactly. All it's private property.
- 1:42:56Speaker 3: Jack.
- 1:42:56Speaker 6: It is one of my favorite things to watch though.
- 1:42:58Speaker 6: I will watch like the deal guys that things you
- 1:43:01Speaker 6: should be buying at Costco in the month of August.
- 1:43:03Speaker 14: You know.
- 1:43:04Speaker 6: Oh really they do this every month, and the same
- 1:43:06Speaker 6: guys they go around they do like Costco, Walmart, all
- 1:43:10Speaker 6: them the.
- 1:43:11Speaker 2: Prices of the same product.
- 1:43:12Speaker 6: Well, they'll just focus on one short a time, but
- 1:43:15Speaker 6: they'll find the deals for that month and show you
- 1:43:18Speaker 6: all the deals.
- 1:43:19Speaker 2: I love watch.
- 1:43:20Speaker 3: Now.
- 1:43:20Speaker 2: Another thing someone just said, by the way, they didn't
- 1:43:22Speaker 2: they did not hit Costco or Sam's.
- 1:43:24Speaker 7: Yeah, well, I mean yeah, but someone said, the next
- 1:43:27Speaker 7: time you go where it's a pleasure for their meat,
- 1:43:30Speaker 7: you will not see the USDA Choice stamped on it.
- 1:43:33Speaker 3: I don't know if that's true.
- 1:43:35Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't think that can be true. Well,
- 1:43:37Speaker 2: the USDA, the USDA inspects meat from the entire country, right,
- 1:43:41Speaker 2: I don't can I don't, I don't. Maybe they cut
- 1:43:43Speaker 2: that out of the budget too. I don't think you
- 1:43:45Speaker 2: can sell meat if it is not USDA inspected.
- 1:43:49Speaker 9: I don't.
- 1:43:49Speaker 2: I don't believe you can carry it, can you. It's
- 1:43:51Speaker 2: like a raw milk scenario, is it not.
- 1:43:53Speaker 7: I know that the USDA just like has a big
- 1:43:56Speaker 7: recall with like thirty thousand pounds of bee from Argentina
- 1:44:00Speaker 7: under their owner that wasn't inspectedly, But I don't know,
- 1:44:03Speaker 7: like does a bank have to have FD I see.
- 1:44:06Speaker 2: Yeah, well I think the damnure better if they want
- 1:44:09Speaker 2: not money, they don't, right exactly, yeah, they want even
- 1:44:12Speaker 2: a nickel of moment exactly.
- 1:44:14Speaker 6: You cannot legally sell commercial meat to the public that
- 1:44:17Speaker 6: lacks the official inspection for.
- 1:44:19Speaker 2: The That's a bad scenario. And we know the tailor
- 1:44:24Speaker 2: farms to people who just had the massive problems with
- 1:44:26Speaker 2: the diarrhea thing, the explosive diarrhea. I feel like you
- 1:44:28Speaker 2: have to Yeah you do. But you know they were
- 1:44:31Speaker 2: called sauces now jlipinos. Of course, Lettuce was the original
- 1:44:35Speaker 2: og machine.
- 1:44:36Speaker 14: Right.
- 1:44:37Speaker 2: Well, I just learned today that that Taylor Farms apparently
- 1:44:40Speaker 2: they had been and now again I just read this,
- 1:44:42Speaker 2: you know, briefly, but they hadn't been inspected in like
- 1:44:44Speaker 2: seven years.
- 1:44:46Speaker 3: Yeah, what you call a super donor.
- 1:44:48Speaker 2: Yeah, but because you know they are, I understand. What
- 1:44:51Speaker 2: I'm saying is, like you those inspections sorts of stop
- 1:44:53Speaker 2: stuff like this to make sure, because the inspectors come
- 1:44:56Speaker 2: in and they do random tests of the entire crop
- 1:44:58Speaker 2: to find out if there's any you know, poisons or
- 1:45:00Speaker 2: pesticides or anything like that, you know, e Coli, salmonella.
- 1:45:04Speaker 6: But the thing you said should not be connected to
- 1:45:06Speaker 6: the thing you say, I mean, how much you donate
- 1:45:10Speaker 6: should not. Yeah, dictate how often you're inspected.
- 1:45:13Speaker 7: That just like you had mentioned earlier. Right, yeah, I
- 1:45:15Speaker 7: think you're going to be of your number one client
- 1:45:18Speaker 7: on your airways.
- 1:45:19Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 1:45:19Speaker 2: Yeah, Well I want to blow up my colon because
- 1:45:22Speaker 2: mister Smith got a five thousand dollars donation.
- 1:45:25Speaker 7: Well, obviously it would have to be a hell of
- 1:45:26Speaker 7: a lot more than that for them to, you know,
- 1:45:29Speaker 7: skater underneath the radar for so many years.
- 1:45:31Speaker 2: We kind of know how and we know how much
- 1:45:32Speaker 2: it is. I mean we you know, it was public
- 1:45:34Speaker 2: it's public record. It was millions.
- 1:45:36Speaker 7: Oh yeah, I mean a third of the nation's lettuce
- 1:45:39Speaker 7: comes from Taylor Phone.
- 1:45:41Speaker 3: And that's part of it.
- 1:45:41Speaker 6: And the other part is what have they done with inspections,
- 1:45:45Speaker 6: whether it's doze or whatever reason running that organization. Yeah,
- 1:45:50Speaker 6: you know, if that's cut back, who suffers? Well, the
- 1:45:53Speaker 6: IGS have been cut back a lot. The inspector generals
- 1:45:55Speaker 6: of all these all these cabinet positions have been just
- 1:45:58Speaker 6: cut like crazy, you know. And that's one of the
- 1:46:00Speaker 6: things where you say we're gonna get rid of regulations
- 1:46:03Speaker 6: that slow down business. Regulations are rules that protect people
- 1:46:08Speaker 6: and the environment.
- 1:46:09Speaker 2: Just gonna keep you with the toilet for two weeks. Yeah,
- 1:46:11Speaker 2: Other than that, it's gonna be fine.
- 1:46:12Speaker 7: So that's what And just in case you forgot, that's
- 1:46:14Speaker 7: what DEI now stands for diarrhea everywhere and definitely all.
- 1:46:19Speaker 2: Right textus at seven seven zero three one let them up,
- 1:46:23Speaker 2: guys to sound for trivia. We'll do that.
- 1:46:25Speaker 14: Next USD eight Inspected means it covers hygiene and food
- 1:46:29Speaker 14: safety versus USDA choice is about the quality of the
- 1:46:35Speaker 14: meat and the taste. It's a lot of difference. You know,
- 1:46:38Speaker 14: you can slap both stickers on there, but you know
- 1:46:41Speaker 14: that's the difference. The USDA choice just means I'm gonna
- 1:46:44Speaker 14: charge you more.
- 1:46:48Speaker 2: That's disheartening.
- 1:46:49Speaker 3: Well, I mean, actually the way it sounds, they're charging
- 1:46:52Speaker 3: us more whether we like it or not.
- 1:46:54Speaker 2: Oh, that means Prime is more than that, right, that's
- 1:46:56Speaker 2: supposed to be the highest quality. Prime Esa Prime.
- 1:47:00Speaker 3: I don't know, can't afford it anymore.
- 1:47:02Speaker 2: And let me tell you something awes in all the
- 1:47:04Speaker 2: the other day, and so was all of Lake County's
- 1:47:11Speaker 2: catching on. Holy ass, dude, man, you I mean you
- 1:47:17Speaker 2: have to get straight European up in that bitch. I
- 1:47:19Speaker 2: mean you have to just kind of ignore your American
- 1:47:21Speaker 2: manners and just kind of realize it's a battle in
- 1:47:24Speaker 2: all they these days, I don't experience that. Maybe it's
- 1:47:28Speaker 2: just my location, or maybe there are more, because there's
- 1:47:31Speaker 2: only one within like twenty miles of where that one
- 1:47:33Speaker 2: is exact.
- 1:47:33Speaker 3: It's that mind.
- 1:47:35Speaker 6: I mean, it's got a steady flow of people. There's
- 1:47:37Speaker 6: always people in there. But I don't deal with crazy crowd.
- 1:47:40Speaker 2: But you have another one right at the end of
- 1:47:41Speaker 2: Tuscuilla Road, Like I think there's one over there in
- 1:47:43Speaker 2: that winter park area. There's the one right there, if
- 1:47:45Speaker 2: I remember right, there's one right over there with our Aldi.
- 1:47:48Speaker 2: There's Aldi there. I'm telling you, I don't know where
- 1:47:50Speaker 2: another one is. Do you know where another one is
- 1:47:52Speaker 2: from that one? Oh no, yeah, it's got to be
- 1:47:54Speaker 2: ten fifteen miles away. So trust me, this thing is cracking.
- 1:47:58Speaker 2: And I bought b from there that other day, and
- 1:48:00Speaker 2: it was still expensive. It was pretty expensive. I mean
- 1:48:03Speaker 2: beef stew and bought stew meat. I could not believe
- 1:48:06Speaker 2: how much it was even in Aldie. All right, welcome

- 1:50:17Speaker 2: a real easy game. Got a question here for you.
- 1:50:19Speaker 2: Four answers. One of these answers is not true. What
- 1:50:22Speaker 2: I'm trying to fool you, buddy, But if you can
- 1:50:24Speaker 2: find it, I will send you over to the Jackie sack.
- 1:50:26Speaker 2: Tons of really cool stuff waiting for you. Are you ready?
- 1:50:29Speaker 2: I'm ready. Here we go, buddy. Uh tea bag busted
- 1:50:32Speaker 2: it out for us. It is National Vinyl Record Day.
- 1:50:35Speaker 2: Oh cool, let's right here. Three fun facts about vinyl
- 1:50:37Speaker 2: records and one lie one lie, one lie, one lie
- 1:50:40Speaker 2: with a Giants track, Been there put a nick a lie?
- 1:50:46Speaker 2: All right, buddy, we're talking about vinyl records. What one
- 1:50:48Speaker 2: of these is not true? Number one? The first music
- 1:50:51Speaker 2: ever pressed onto a vinyl record was the Christmas song
- 1:50:54Speaker 2: God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman. Number two. The term album
- 1:50:59Speaker 2: comes from the multiple short playing records that were bound
- 1:51:01Speaker 2: together in a binder resembling a photo album. Number three
- 1:51:05Speaker 2: in the nineteen fifties, people imported band Western music into
- 1:51:09Speaker 2: the Soviet Union on discarded X rays. It was called
- 1:51:12Speaker 2: bone music. Or lastly, vinyl records are naturally clear or
- 1:51:17Speaker 2: milky white. They have to add color to get them
- 1:51:20Speaker 2: black or other colors. Which of those is a lie?
- 1:51:24Speaker 3: I'm gonna go at number one.
- 1:51:25Speaker 2: That's the one, Budy your winner. How would you know that?
- 1:51:30Speaker 2: I thought that was a goodly guess, very good. But
- 1:51:35Speaker 2: I want to put you on hold, enjoy your prize.
- 1:51:37Speaker 2: You are a winner. No, it was what do you
- 1:51:39Speaker 2: think it was? The very first piece of music pressed
- 1:51:41Speaker 2: onto oh music? Yeah, yeah, the very first music ever
- 1:51:45Speaker 2: pressed onto a vinyl record was.
- 1:51:47Speaker 3: This Unkle Twinkle Little Star.
- 1:51:51Speaker 2: America, the beautiful That is a You're on the right track.
- 1:51:54Speaker 2: But it was Beethove's fifth, so it was a very
- 1:51:57Speaker 2: classical piast. Now that is one of those things that's
- 1:51:59Speaker 2: kind of weird because they say, well, it was the
- 1:52:02Speaker 2: first modern pressing, the most successful. But I think it's
- 1:52:06Speaker 2: commonly understood after my research that the beethoven S fifth
- 1:52:09Speaker 2: was the first actual and had a really hard time
- 1:52:12Speaker 2: because the old styluses were actually needles and the material
- 1:52:16Speaker 2: was very soft. So it wouldn't play long. The needle
- 1:52:19Speaker 2: would just literally cut the song out of the album.
- 1:52:25Speaker 2: The term album does come from multiple short playing records
- 1:52:28Speaker 2: because when they originally invented this, they didn't have the
- 1:52:30Speaker 2: big album, so the song, yeah, the songs came on
- 1:52:34Speaker 2: smaller ones. So what they would have to do is
- 1:52:36Speaker 2: is they would put those in a binder so you
- 1:52:39Speaker 2: could listen to the entire collection of music. But it
- 1:52:41Speaker 2: wasn't on one piece of vinyl.
- 1:52:44Speaker 3: So you mean like the CD cases we hauled around
- 1:52:46Speaker 3: in the nineties, Yeah, but.
- 1:52:47Speaker 2: It was like flippers, like, yeah, exactly, exactly like that.
- 1:52:50Speaker 2: And the funny thing is is when you go to
- 1:52:51Speaker 2: a state sales now you can still find those occasionally,
- 1:52:55Speaker 2: but like complete collections of concertos that are I mean,
- 1:52:59Speaker 2: they're ten or twelve records in these collections. They're amazing,
- 1:53:03Speaker 2: very cool stuff. In the nineteen fifties, people did import
- 1:53:06Speaker 2: band Western music into the Soviet Union on discarded X rays.
- 1:53:10Speaker 2: That they would do that they would press it onto
- 1:53:13Speaker 2: an X ray so you couldn't see it. It still
- 1:53:15Speaker 2: looked like an X ray, but they could actually play
- 1:53:16Speaker 2: it on a record player and they called it bone music.
- 1:53:19Speaker 3: Oh, that's so cool.
- 1:53:20Speaker 2: And then lastly, vinyl records are naturally clear or milky
- 1:53:23Speaker 2: white before they add the color, whether it be black
- 1:53:25Speaker 2: or red or whatever some other things you may not
- 1:53:28Speaker 2: know before we get at the top of the hour um.
- 1:53:31Speaker 2: In the nineteen seventies, there were vinyl records that had
- 1:53:34Speaker 2: liquid in the middle, like a lava lamp.
- 1:53:37Speaker 3: Oh, now that that would be cool.
- 1:53:38Speaker 2: They would take two of the records and like a Gordida,
- 1:53:42Speaker 2: they would put the stuff in the middle and then
- 1:53:44Speaker 2: steal the records together, so it was just a little
- 1:53:46Speaker 2: bit thicker, but it did have that lava lamp kind
- 1:53:47Speaker 2: of look as it was going around.
- 1:53:49Speaker 3: I did send you rolling papers in a place to
- 1:53:52Speaker 3: do it.
- 1:53:52Speaker 2: By the way, I've never seen one of those, and
- 1:53:54Speaker 2: I've I've done these estate sales and grind sales for
- 1:53:57Speaker 2: eons and I've never seen a record with the liquid
- 1:54:00Speaker 2: in the middle. I can't imagine it would hold up
- 1:54:02Speaker 2: that long because it was in the seventies.
- 1:54:03Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it's probably too brittle now.
- 1:54:05Speaker 2: And then lastly, hot, how hot do you think the
- 1:54:09Speaker 2: stylist can get as it runs through the record. And
- 1:54:13Speaker 2: it's funny because this is also a bit debated, but
- 1:54:16Speaker 2: a lot of people say it does do this. As
- 1:54:19Speaker 2: a record plays, the stylist or needle can reach how
- 1:54:22Speaker 2: many degrees? I'll say one hundred degrees. One hundred is
- 1:54:26Speaker 2: the exact answerayyeh, buddy, that's vinyl records. And by the way,
- 1:54:32Speaker 2: you also remember, and we've done this before, so with
- 1:54:34Speaker 2: some of the other clues I didn't reuse. Do you
- 1:54:36Speaker 2: guys remember the color albums, Like when you get the
- 1:54:38Speaker 2: colored records, Oh, yeah, it'd be gold or whatever the
- 1:54:41Speaker 2: case may be. Those don't sound as good as black vinyl.
- 1:54:44Speaker 2: And they can't figure out why. Like I read three
- 1:54:47Speaker 2: stories about it today. They cannot figure out why. Also
- 1:54:49Speaker 2: the music. The reason why if you get an album,
- 1:54:52Speaker 2: the hits on the record for back in the Day
- 1:54:54Speaker 2: will always be the first, second, or third song. What
- 1:54:57Speaker 2: they considered that it's going to be the best songs
- 1:54:59Speaker 2: because those play and sound the best. As the stylus
- 1:55:02Speaker 2: approaches the center of the album, it doesn't sound as
- 1:55:05Speaker 2: good because of the length of the of the cut
- 1:55:08Speaker 2: or something or the how interesting. Yeah, it's pretty cool.
- 1:55:12Speaker 6: I always know where they place the song usually determines
- 1:55:16Speaker 6: that what they how they feel of this song. But
- 1:55:18Speaker 6: why I never knew that those inner songs don't sound
- 1:55:22Speaker 6: as good because.
- 1:55:22Speaker 2: Of the length of length. The length because when you're
- 1:55:25Speaker 2: on the outside, it's more of a straight line. Right
- 1:55:28Speaker 2: as you get on the inside, the line is more curved.
- 1:55:30Speaker 2: And they actually have that built into the machine to
- 1:55:33Speaker 2: keep the needle tracking on the inside, but it still
- 1:55:36Speaker 2: doesn't the the and they even have to electronically kind
- 1:55:39Speaker 2: of monitor those sounds because it'll also it'll send pitch
- 1:55:43Speaker 2: to the speakers that isn't there, oh, because as it
- 1:55:46Speaker 2: moves in those grooves, as it gets closer to the center.
- 1:55:48Speaker 2: All right, four seven nine six four one text to
- 1:55:50Speaker 2: seven seven zero three one back in a second with
- 1:55:52Speaker 2: more of the Jym Colbert show.
- 1:55:53Speaker 23: About the weight problem on foods. Because back in the
- 1:55:57Speaker 23: day when I used to pinch two pennies together and
- 1:55:59Speaker 23: make a nickel, I would take the meats from the butcher,
- 1:56:03Speaker 23: and it's usually ground meets I couldn't afford.
- 1:56:06Speaker 2: Like whole slabs of real meat.
- 1:56:11Speaker 23: I would take it over to the produce and I
- 1:56:14Speaker 23: would put it on the produce scale to see if
- 1:56:17Speaker 23: it was accurate, and honestly, a lot of the time
- 1:56:20Speaker 23: it wasn't.
- 1:56:22Speaker 10: Crazy Well hot dang, what a world we live in
- 1:56:26Speaker 10: today where you can't film it out of a Walmart,
- 1:56:28Speaker 10: but the Supreme Court says the same companies have no
- 1:56:31Speaker 10: right to tell you that you cannot carry a weapon
- 1:56:33Speaker 10: in there, and they have to allow you to carry
- 1:56:34Speaker 10: your weapon.
- 1:56:35Speaker 3: Hmm. Seems kind of weird, doesn't it. Sure it does.
- 1:56:39Speaker 24: About the lava lamp thing in the records, they're still
- 1:56:41Speaker 24: doing that. I know a lot of bands have done
- 1:56:43Speaker 24: that lately. I know Judus Priest has released the greatest
- 1:56:47Speaker 24: that does that, and it's kind of a new trend.
- 1:56:50Speaker 24: I've seen it a lot lately online. Maybe the technology
- 1:56:53Speaker 24: has improved so they can do that and the album
- 1:56:57Speaker 24: sound good and the music sounds good.
- 1:57:00Speaker 2: I think, honestly, Buddy, I believe what it is is
- 1:57:03Speaker 2: just there was a reincarnation of the of the vinyl world.
- 1:57:06Speaker 2: I mean, I think people probably just stopped making them
- 1:57:08Speaker 2: because nobody was buying them. And then now people are
- 1:57:11Speaker 2: buying them. And actually they gave Tool credit for UH
- 1:57:14Speaker 2: being one of the few bands that would take the
- 1:57:16Speaker 2: other side of the album and and they would do
- 1:57:18Speaker 2: a laser etching. Somebody just said that h Sticks the
- 1:57:21Speaker 2: band Sticks. Paradise Theater was like that where they they
- 1:57:24Speaker 2: like laser etched or embossed an image on the album.
- 1:57:28Speaker 2: And my uncle used to have a collection of Elvis
- 1:57:30Speaker 2: albums and they were all of the gold records and
- 1:57:33Speaker 2: the vinyl was gold.
- 1:57:35Speaker 3: Wow.
- 1:57:35Speaker 2: It was one of those things you bought on TV.
- 1:57:37Speaker 2: Righty you about one a week or whatever, one a month.
- 1:57:40Speaker 3: I have a gold forty five of Frank Sinocher's New York,
- 1:57:44Speaker 3: New York. But it's in a frame.
- 1:57:45Speaker 2: Oh really that's cool. Yeah, I wouldn't dream of trying
- 1:57:49Speaker 2: to play it. Oh yeah, I don't do that. No, no, no,
- 1:57:53Speaker 2: a right four seven nine four one text seven seven
- 1:57:55Speaker 2: zero three one on Jim, there's death.
- 1:57:57Speaker 6: Hell take a zer as well. Sure auctions are where
- 1:58:01Speaker 6: right now? We still have some are done and congratulations
- 1:58:04Speaker 6: to those winners. We still have I believe three left,
- 1:58:09Speaker 6: so half are done. But go to real Radio, dot FM,
- 1:58:13Speaker 6: slash auction. Find the one that's open. There were six there.
- 1:58:16Speaker 6: If it has closed, that's the one that's done. If
- 1:58:18Speaker 6: it says closing soon, that's the one you want to act. Yeah,
- 1:58:21Speaker 6: And that's what we're talking about. Is the poker tournament
- 1:58:23Speaker 6: coming up Saturday. These are the last opportunities for you
- 1:58:26Speaker 6: to get in if you missed it, your opportunity earlier
- 1:58:28Speaker 6: when we put the tickets on sale. Originally they sold
- 1:58:30Speaker 6: out in six hours, So I mean you weren't. You
- 1:58:32Speaker 6: weren't the only one that got left out. But now
- 1:58:34Speaker 6: is an opportunity for you to slip back in, and
- 1:58:36Speaker 6: not only do you get the seat for the poker tournament,
- 1:58:38Speaker 6: you also get a casito pass if you want to
- 1:58:40Speaker 6: bring a friend or you know a friend with you,
- 1:58:42Speaker 6: So there you go, or a leva a love. So
- 1:58:46Speaker 6: I got a question for you guys. What's the last
- 1:58:48Speaker 6: time you rented, rented what like a house or a
- 1:58:53Speaker 6: place to live?
- 1:58:54Speaker 7: Oh? Oh, early two thousands, early two thousands. Oh wait, wait, no,
- 1:58:59Speaker 7: it'd be it'd be more recent than that, actually.
- 1:59:04Speaker 2: Ninety three. Yeah, mine would have been the airbnb we
- 1:59:07Speaker 2: stayed in before we moved into this place. So that
- 1:59:09Speaker 2: was such a short term thing. I mean, it wasn't
- 1:59:11Speaker 2: like a The last time I rented anywhere would have
- 1:59:13Speaker 2: been my apartment when I moved out of my house.
- 1:59:15Speaker 7: Initially twenty eighteen would be the last time we rented
- 1:59:18Speaker 7: before we bought in twenty twenty.
- 1:59:20Speaker 3: Really is it's still the same about five six hundred
- 1:59:23Speaker 3: bucks of art. Yeah, that's what it was when I
- 1:59:26Speaker 3: rented it in two thousand.
- 1:59:27Speaker 2: I think ninety. I want to say ninety. I want
- 1:59:31Speaker 2: to say ninety. I think eighty nine or ninety was
- 1:59:34Speaker 2: the last time I had an apartment where I rented. No, no, no,
- 1:59:36Speaker 2: that's not true. When I got divorced, So in two
- 1:59:38Speaker 2: thousand I rented apartment for a couple of years. So
- 1:59:42Speaker 2: it is an interesting story, is that a California And
- 1:59:44Speaker 2: I wanted to bring this up because I've never heard
- 1:59:46Speaker 2: anything like this, and the story really doesn't really explain it.
- 1:59:51Speaker 2: So there's a rental listing in Walnut Creek, California. It's
- 1:59:54Speaker 2: just sparked some outrage amongst renters. And the reason why
- 1:59:58Speaker 2: is this already difficult to find a home to rent
- 2:00:01Speaker 2: that doesn't cost you a baby, you know, right, Yeah,
- 2:00:05Speaker 2: And they're saying this one here is thirty two hundred
- 2:00:07Speaker 2: and fifty a month. Now, you know, that's a little
- 2:00:09Speaker 2: higher than normal, of course, but in California, you would
- 2:00:12Speaker 2: think that's probably relatively average. No problem, except there's a
- 2:00:16Speaker 2: fee that comes with this rental that I've never heard
- 2:00:19Speaker 2: of in my life. And again, in the context of
- 2:00:21Speaker 2: the story. They don't really explain it away at all.
- 2:00:25Speaker 2: It's a two hundred dollars a month fee for what
- 2:00:31Speaker 2: if you work from home? It's a two hundred dollars
- 2:00:35Speaker 2: penalty for people who are remote workers. So if you
- 2:00:39Speaker 2: rent this house and you work from home, on top
- 2:00:42Speaker 2: of the thirty two fifty, you have to pay two
- 2:00:45Speaker 2: hundred dollars a month for a work from home fee.
- 2:00:49Speaker 2: But you are nay, you're paying for the electricity already, right,
- 2:00:54Speaker 2: That's the one that immediately I was like, well, hold
- 2:00:56Speaker 2: on so you could see because I mean, by the
- 2:00:59Speaker 2: way I'm reaching out for the audience here, I mean,
- 2:01:01Speaker 2: how many people you can text us seven to seven
- 2:01:03Speaker 2: zero three one? How is that even a thing anymore?
- 2:01:06Speaker 2: Do apartments really do that anymore? Do they wrap up
- 2:01:09Speaker 2: power and utilities in the rent? I can't imagine they
- 2:01:12Speaker 2: do that in Florida.
- 2:01:13Speaker 5: Now.
- 2:01:13Speaker 2: I know some do water and some will do internet.
- 2:01:16Speaker 2: I know that for a fact that they'll do that.
- 2:01:19Speaker 2: The power is always separate, right, And that's the thing here, Like,
- 2:01:23Speaker 2: how could they hit you for a fee? And that's
- 2:01:25Speaker 2: what they say. It's they say, look at it like
- 2:01:27Speaker 2: an environmental impact fee.
- 2:01:30Speaker 3: Yeah, but what's your environmental impact.
- 2:01:32Speaker 2: Right, you're paying for electricity, you're paying for your water,
- 2:01:34Speaker 2: and you're paying for your internet. What where's the fee?
- 2:01:38Speaker 2: They're saying, it's the wear and tear on the property
- 2:01:41Speaker 2: because you're there all the time. That's part of it, right,
- 2:01:45Speaker 2: you never leave. And then they try to justify it
- 2:01:47Speaker 2: at the end of the story by saying, well, how
- 2:01:49Speaker 2: much would it cost you to commute to work every
- 2:01:51Speaker 2: every month? But that's none of their business, and it
- 2:01:53Speaker 2: is none of their business. That has nothing to do
- 2:01:55Speaker 2: with that. And this is a long as story, it's
- 2:01:57Speaker 2: a Yahoo Finance story, And in the entire which is
- 2:02:00Speaker 2: multiple pages, they never explain how they get around that,
- 2:02:04Speaker 2: and they say, there's a federal regulations here, we can
- 2:02:07Speaker 2: dodge the Disabilities Act. Of course they you know, they
- 2:02:10Speaker 2: figured out a way around the Disabilities Act because you
- 2:02:12Speaker 2: can't charge anybody with the disability more so, they just
- 2:02:15Speaker 2: charged everybody. And I don't know if anybody pays this
- 2:02:19Speaker 2: in Orlando. I can't imagine that anybody in Orlando pays
- 2:02:22Speaker 2: a work from home fee. I've never even heard of it.
- 2:02:25Speaker 3: I haven't either.
- 2:02:26Speaker 2: Yeah, one person says it's crazy. Another person, Cody Hall,
- 2:02:30Speaker 2: said the concept is completely ridiculous. Yet while renters are
- 2:02:34Speaker 2: livid over these work from home penalties, corporate housing advocates
- 2:02:38Speaker 2: are defending them.
- 2:02:39Speaker 3: So ill in corporate housing advocates. There you go, and
- 2:02:43Speaker 3: this is what happens.
- 2:02:43Speaker 2: Like, you know, we we have this legislation that tried
- 2:02:45Speaker 2: to stop or is stopping, uh, you know, large groups
- 2:02:48Speaker 2: from barring the buying these large swaths of rental properties.
- 2:02:52Speaker 2: I think this is kind of maybe what they're trying
- 2:02:53Speaker 2: to curtail. It says it's almost like a utility cost
- 2:02:57Speaker 2: recovery or environmental conservation fee. That's Derek Barnes is the
- 2:03:02Speaker 2: CEO of East Bay Rental Housing Association. He goes for
- 2:03:06Speaker 2: renters desperate to find a good deal. Spotting these hidden
- 2:03:10Speaker 2: fees before signing a lease is critical, Like could you
- 2:03:12Speaker 2: imagine that would be the biggest bait and switch of
- 2:03:14Speaker 2: all time?
- 2:03:14Speaker 7: Well, because there could be your power bill. Is that
- 2:03:16Speaker 7: two hundred dollars fee you're paying because you work from home?
- 2:03:20Speaker 8: Yeah?
- 2:03:20Speaker 2: And it says right here, it says as rents continue
- 2:03:22Speaker 2: to rise, many jurisdictions have implemented rent increase caps and
- 2:03:26Speaker 2: says here quote landlords have attempted to circumvent rent cap
- 2:03:30Speaker 2: laws with work from home fees.
- 2:03:34Speaker 6: What if you're on a trust fund and you don't work. Well,
- 2:03:39Speaker 6: that's a good point there all the time.
- 2:03:41Speaker 2: Yeah, a good point, and it says right here says
- 2:03:43Speaker 2: the fees have also been tacked a monthly rent to
- 2:03:45Speaker 2: account for the additional cost of utilities by remote workers.
- 2:03:48Speaker 2: You're paying those utilities. More electricity, more water, and internet
- 2:03:51Speaker 2: are consumed daily when tenants don't leave their homes. But again,
- 2:03:54Speaker 2: you're paying that fee that's not part of your rent.
- 2:03:57Speaker 2: I don't know anybody that pays rent where the power
- 2:04:00Speaker 2: hours wrapped up in it not this god forsaken state.
- 2:04:02Speaker 6: Yeah, and that impact isn't on you, it's on the environment.
- 2:04:06Speaker 6: You're you're collecting that money, but you're not giving it to.
- 2:04:11Speaker 3: This is the key.
- 2:04:12Speaker 7: Yes, the Era club's getting a check from you every month.
- 2:04:15Speaker 7: What this is is it just sounds like they cannot
- 2:04:17Speaker 7: admit the truth because what they're doing is it's trying
- 2:04:21Speaker 7: to circumvent the law, try and continue to raise prices
- 2:04:24Speaker 7: on renters. So they're coming up with these bogus ideas
- 2:04:27Speaker 7: that they can't honestly support.
- 2:04:28Speaker 2: And the other guys, you know, when you start running
- 2:04:30Speaker 2: out of stuff to say, you know, because that goes. Hey,
- 2:04:33Speaker 2: in other times, your work activities will generate noise and
- 2:04:35Speaker 2: foot traffic and the neighbors don't like it.
- 2:04:36Speaker 3: Oh okay, kind of like having a toddler running around
- 2:04:39Speaker 3: at two o'clock in the afternoon.
- 2:04:40Speaker 2: Texter says, what if you're retired, Yeah, yeah, you're paying it.
- 2:04:44Speaker 6: It's like this subscription fee they've you know, just a
- 2:04:47Speaker 6: way to get a monthly additional monthly income, like they're
- 2:04:50Speaker 6: doing with services on vehicles. Now yeah they found oh
- 2:04:55Speaker 6: and video games instead of owning the video games. Oh yeah,
- 2:04:59Speaker 6: now you're renting the video game. Yes, and you will
- 2:05:01Speaker 6: forever be paying for said video game.
- 2:05:04Speaker 2: It says. If the lease is offered where the utilities
- 2:05:06Speaker 2: are community based and the tenant will not have their
- 2:05:08Speaker 2: own account, when the tenant may demand written proof as
- 2:05:11Speaker 2: how the allocation between the rental units is calculated. But
- 2:05:13Speaker 2: I don't know anybody that lives in a situation like that.
- 2:05:16Speaker 2: Do you know anyone that lives in a community where
- 2:05:18Speaker 2: the utilities are combined? Are there like a community based
- 2:05:22Speaker 2: utility fee? Like they add up all the electrical from
- 2:05:25Speaker 2: like imagine your neighborhood, Jack, if they added up all
- 2:05:28Speaker 2: the power. If they added up all the power bills
- 2:05:30Speaker 2: and just divided by the amount of homes, and that's
- 2:05:32Speaker 2: your power bill.
- 2:05:33Speaker 6: Now I'd be going on knocking down. Hey, turn off
- 2:05:36Speaker 6: those lights. Hey, you turn off those lights. Turn off
- 2:05:40Speaker 6: those lights.
- 2:05:41Speaker 2: I imagine it would be the only time ever Jack
- 2:05:43Speaker 2: would go door to door doing anything. I've never heard
- 2:05:47Speaker 2: of this ever in my life.
- 2:05:48Speaker 3: Here's another one. Do you stay at home moms have
- 2:05:50Speaker 3: to pay the thing?
- 2:05:51Speaker 14: Yeah?
- 2:05:51Speaker 2: Yeah, and they and again, like all these are great questions,
- 2:05:54Speaker 2: they do not answer any of this. Actually, towards the
- 2:05:57Speaker 2: end of the story, they tried to justify it by going, well,
- 2:05:59Speaker 2: how much does it cost you to commute every day?
- 2:06:01Speaker 2: How much does it cost you to commute a month?
- 2:06:03Speaker 2: If it's three hundred dollars, you're actually saving money with
- 2:06:05Speaker 2: our work from home fee. What are you mad about? Well,
- 2:06:08Speaker 2: I wasn't paying you to begin with.
- 2:06:09Speaker 6: Jeez, that's what it's your day. But yeah, it's a
- 2:06:13Speaker 6: work around, you know it. Well, oh, we're not allowed
- 2:06:16Speaker 6: to raise the rent. Okay, well exactly, we'll tack something.
- 2:06:19Speaker 7: Else on breathing. Well, I'm sorry, but that air is
- 2:06:23Speaker 7: gonna cost you extra.
- 2:06:24Speaker 3: That's sorry.
- 2:06:25Speaker 2: And then they get it at the bottom of They're like, hey,
- 2:06:26Speaker 2: is work from home fee cheaper than commuting? They're literally
- 2:06:29Speaker 2: trying to hard sell this to people in this in
- 2:06:31Speaker 2: the context of the story, or they're trying to represent
- 2:06:33Speaker 2: the people who are for this as going, hey, you know,
- 2:06:36Speaker 2: maybe it actually costs you less to pay the work
- 2:06:38Speaker 2: from home fee. I'm like, well, dude, I shouldn't be
- 2:06:41Speaker 2: paying that fee either. Like the whole idea if I'm
- 2:06:43Speaker 2: working from home is a deal. I kind of negotiated
- 2:06:45Speaker 2: with my employer to save me that money in lieu
- 2:06:47Speaker 2: of a raise. How do you not know that? Like,
- 2:06:50Speaker 2: how do you not know?
- 2:06:51Speaker 16: I don't live on the other.
- 2:06:52Speaker 2: Side of the city. It cost me five hundred dollars
- 2:06:53Speaker 2: a month to get to work with tolls and gas,
- 2:06:55Speaker 2: and I negotiate that, Hey, buddy, instead of giveing me
- 2:06:57Speaker 2: a raise, allow me to work from home. That way
- 2:07:00Speaker 2: I can save that money. And that's like getting a
- 2:07:01Speaker 2: six thousand dollars year raise.
- 2:07:03Speaker 7: Somebody just texted us at seven seven zero three one,
- 2:07:05Speaker 7: my friend pays fourteen hundred dollars a month for a
- 2:07:09Speaker 7: studio apartment in Eustace and it's underground.
- 2:07:12Speaker 2: Oh my god. And Eustace and Eustace good Lord fourteen hundred.
- 2:07:16Speaker 2: It's underground. It's telling people like in the story that
- 2:07:19Speaker 2: says that, hey, man, make sure you read your lease
- 2:07:21Speaker 2: because like these laws can't be like they there's they're
- 2:07:24Speaker 2: not breaking the law because they're circumventing this whole cap idea.
- 2:07:29Speaker 2: And you got to make sure you're paying attention to
- 2:07:30Speaker 2: it because if you sign that leasure bound to it crazy,
- 2:07:37Speaker 2: it is kind of crazy, all right. Uh four oh
- 2:07:39Speaker 2: seven nine one six one four. I don't know anybody
- 2:07:41Speaker 2: it's in a situation. I don't know anybody that lives
- 2:07:43Speaker 2: in a in a community where they combine that. Now
- 2:07:45Speaker 2: we've heard that that power companies will what's that word
- 2:07:49Speaker 2: jack when they they estimate the bill. They will they'll
- 2:07:55Speaker 2: estimate the bill and they'll just go, okay, well the
- 2:07:58Speaker 2: average this time of year is this, So everybody's just
- 2:08:00Speaker 2: going to pay three fifty or whatever. Right, But that's
- 2:08:02Speaker 2: not the same as what they're talking about, because I
- 2:08:04Speaker 2: think that comes out in the wash.
- 2:08:05Speaker 6: I think when they eventually do the the meta read,
- 2:08:09Speaker 6: then they determine whether you're over or under and they'll
- 2:08:13Speaker 6: make up the difference. Donna, Texan She says her FBL
- 2:08:16Speaker 6: is separate from her rent. However, she is charged in
- 2:08:19Speaker 6: the rent for electricity that runs the buildings, lights and fans.
- 2:08:24Speaker 6: It's she said, it's a small charge, but it's like
- 2:08:27Speaker 6: that communal fee for the the infrastructure for the building,
- 2:08:32Speaker 6: independent of what she uses in her apartment.
- 2:08:35Speaker 2: Right, So you pay for the power that you use
- 2:08:37Speaker 2: inside the walls of your apartment, right, but you also
- 2:08:39Speaker 2: pay another fee for the lights that do the parking lot,
- 2:08:42Speaker 2: the lights for the tennis court, maybe the pool pump,
- 2:08:46Speaker 2: and that's stuff a free No, it's not. Let's go,
- 2:08:48Speaker 2: but you are. Isn't that supposed to be built into
- 2:08:50Speaker 2: the rents? You cover that? Why should that be an
- 2:08:52Speaker 2: extra charge? At one point it was? Right now they realize,
- 2:08:55Speaker 2: oh well, we can add that charge.
- 2:08:57Speaker 7: It's kind of like when we're students, ever asked to
- 2:09:00Speaker 7: bring in chlorox wipes for the classroom over it basically
- 2:09:03Speaker 7: just be the stuff you needed for your school year.
- 2:09:05Speaker 7: You didn't have to also equip the cleaning closet. But
- 2:09:09Speaker 7: now it's just an accepted part of the school supply list.
- 2:09:12Speaker 2: All right. For seven nine six four one text us
- 2:09:14Speaker 2: at seven seven zero three one, we do have our
- 2:09:16Speaker 2: question of the day up right now at Jim Corbert
- 2:09:18Speaker 2: Live dot com. If you're on the YouTube page, you
- 2:09:20Speaker 2: can go in there and check that out. We have
- 2:09:21Speaker 2: it posted and the reason why is we're talking about
- 2:09:23Speaker 2: it next. We'll do that right after this.
- 2:09:25Speaker 25: Well, I'm pronounced freebird is most certainly in the last
- 2:09:32Speaker 25: song on the first side, I believe, but on the
- 2:09:38Speaker 25: Golden Platinum album.
- 2:09:41Speaker 3: It is one of the first songs. Yeah, definitely, it's
- 2:09:46Speaker 3: about compression. Love the show, Love you guys.
- 2:09:50Speaker 26: Have a great night. Thanks, Buddy, Good after morning Colbert
- 2:09:54Speaker 26: could Okay, good and bad news. Unfortunately me and Sully
- 2:09:56Speaker 26: will not be attending this year's poker tournament. He has
- 2:09:58Speaker 26: been in a full leg cast over a month with
- 2:10:00Speaker 26: a broken knee and just got out of that cast today.
- 2:10:03Speaker 14: So great for him.
- 2:10:04Speaker 26: But on another note, Jimmy, I just started a job
- 2:10:06Speaker 26: in security and my boss was telling me, you know,
- 2:10:08Speaker 26: you gotta watch the Yard and you gotta watch the Office,
- 2:10:11Speaker 26: And honestly, I'm about six seasons in and I don't
- 2:10:14Speaker 26: get what.
- 2:10:15Speaker 3: The show has to do with security. Oh it's the
- 2:10:17Speaker 3: man I can meet a call. Lost your numbers?
- 2:10:22Speaker 2: Uh, Just for the record on that, On that Freebird thing.
- 2:10:24Speaker 2: What I said earlier, this happens a lot more. When
- 2:10:26Speaker 2: I had to get somebody earlier like, well, you shouldn't
- 2:10:29Speaker 2: say this, I'm like, like, didn't say that. I asked
- 2:10:31Speaker 2: the question, do traffic controllers? Air traffic controllers need a
- 2:10:35Speaker 2: college degree? He's like, don't tell people out there that
- 2:10:38Speaker 2: that people don't need a college dress. I didn't say that.
- 2:10:40Speaker 2: I asked the question do people need that? Same type
- 2:10:43Speaker 2: of thing happens with this record. They might not have
- 2:10:46Speaker 2: thought the Freebird was gonna be a big song. You go, remember,
- 2:10:49Speaker 2: it's what the producers and the people believe is gonna
- 2:10:51Speaker 2: be the biggest songs when they put them on the record.
- 2:10:53Speaker 2: That's what they thought. That's what I read today a
- 2:10:55Speaker 2: number of times actually that they know as you're putting
- 2:10:57Speaker 2: in an album together, And how many times have we
- 2:10:58Speaker 2: heard this from artists, like, you know, we put the
- 2:11:00Speaker 2: album together, we had no idea that this song was
- 2:11:02Speaker 2: gonna be a big hit. It was like the fifth
- 2:11:04Speaker 2: song on the album.
- 2:11:04Speaker 3: Isn't that the same deal with the Fleetwood Mac and Landslide?
- 2:11:07Speaker 2: Is that what it was?
- 2:11:08Speaker 3: I believe?
- 2:11:09Speaker 2: So yeah, And there are a number of them like that.
- 2:11:10Speaker 2: There's so many great stories in rock and roll. Now
- 2:11:12Speaker 2: that stuff happened. Like I just read the story about
- 2:11:14Speaker 2: Van Hale when they wrote Jump. Eddie wrote that song
- 2:11:18Speaker 2: and he presented the band and David lee Rob hated it.
- 2:11:21Speaker 2: Matter of fact that it gets a little credit for
- 2:11:23Speaker 2: breaking the band up. Oh wow, because he did not
- 2:11:26Speaker 2: want synthesizers in his rock band. Oh but it turned
- 2:11:30Speaker 2: out that you know, his brother Alex van Halen and
- 2:11:32Speaker 2: the bass player Michael Anthony loved the song. They made
- 2:11:35Speaker 2: a demo, played it for the producer and they put
- 2:11:37Speaker 2: the song on. It was their only number one hit,
- 2:11:39Speaker 2: and David le Roth hated it and he left the
- 2:11:41Speaker 2: band because of it. Really that that was a big
- 2:11:43Speaker 2: change for that Yeah, for their sound never had a
- 2:11:47Speaker 2: synthesizer before.
- 2:11:48Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 2:11:48Speaker 2: All right four seven nine one six four one text
- 2:11:51Speaker 2: us seven seven zero three one. I'm Jim, there's deb
- 2:11:53Speaker 2: he Jack is here as well. Hi.
- 2:11:55Speaker 8: All right.
- 2:11:55Speaker 2: Our question of the day today, if you want to
- 2:11:57Speaker 2: hop in there for the last few minutes is would
- 2:12:00Speaker 2: you pay or would you accept pay? Would you enter
- 2:12:03Speaker 2: a program where your county or government paid you to
- 2:12:07Speaker 2: use less water? Yes? All right?
- 2:12:11Speaker 3: Would you? Only?
- 2:12:14Speaker 7: Because I have my hesitation because I was once on
- 2:12:18Speaker 7: these power saving things or the power company to this side.
- 2:12:22Speaker 3: And I right after that, I was like yes or this, Yeah,
- 2:12:26Speaker 3: I did that.
- 2:12:27Speaker 2: Same power thing because you wound up, we went up
- 2:12:29Speaker 2: saving a lot of money. But you're right. They regulate
- 2:12:31Speaker 2: how hot your water can get in your water heater
- 2:12:33Speaker 2: and when you're a C can kick on, when you're
- 2:12:35Speaker 2: AC can kick on, how long it can stay on exactly.
- 2:12:38Speaker 7: And for someone at the time working mornings, I would
- 2:12:41Speaker 7: be home in the afternoon when most power companies would
- 2:12:43Speaker 7: think it's the best time to increase the temperature in
- 2:12:47Speaker 7: your home, but that would be when I was home,
- 2:12:48Speaker 7: and it would be the most uncomfortable.
- 2:12:50Speaker 3: Right, yeah, exactly, I'm not home at those times, so
- 2:12:53Speaker 3: I'm all for it, right.
- 2:12:54Speaker 2: Right, Well, this is actually a program to alleviate the
- 2:12:57Speaker 2: issue over the Colorado River.
- 2:12:58Speaker 7: Oh because let me yeah, oh, that's the problem. It's
- 2:13:02Speaker 7: getting really scary. Like if you're out there by the
- 2:13:06Speaker 7: salt Lake in Utah and Colorado, like what is it?
- 2:13:09Speaker 7: Seven states fighting over what little water remains Colorado, Utah, Wyoming,
- 2:13:13Speaker 7: New Mexico all vuying for this water. So what they've
- 2:13:16Speaker 7: done is and this is a program they started a
- 2:13:18Speaker 7: little while ago, and the reason why they're starting it
- 2:13:20Speaker 7: residentially is because there's a pact that they came to
- 2:13:23Speaker 7: that ends coming up in twenty twenty seven. So they're
- 2:13:26Speaker 7: trying to get the framework of this kind of idea
- 2:13:30Speaker 7: into people's minds to have them go, hey, look, you
- 2:13:33Speaker 7: know we're gonna go to these residential people. We're going
- 2:13:35Speaker 7: to offer them money to save water, Like, hey, look,
- 2:13:38Speaker 7: if you use less than this per month or whatever,
- 2:13:42Speaker 7: will bonushue seventy five dollars a hundred bucks, whatever the
- 2:13:44Speaker 7: case may be. They started with farmers offering them certain
- 2:13:47Speaker 7: amount of money per acre that they would not water,
- 2:13:50Speaker 7: and it actually worked out quite well. The farmers learned
- 2:13:53Speaker 7: how to use less water or they switch crops that
- 2:13:56Speaker 7: required less water, and it actually worked. They saved quite
- 2:13:59Speaker 7: a bit of water. But it is going to be
- 2:14:00Speaker 7: happening in twenty twenty seven in some of those states
- 2:14:02Speaker 7: where the governments will pay them to stop using so
- 2:14:05Speaker 7: much water. I don't we have a well, but we
- 2:14:10Speaker 7: use we use the well to irrigate, but we use
- 2:14:12Speaker 7: water from the city for the house. Now I've heard,
- 2:14:15Speaker 7: and I don't know if this is true, that are
- 2:14:19Speaker 7: you allowed to collect rainwater. I think, why couldn't you,
- 2:14:23Speaker 7: I don't know I had heard like or seen that. Well, no,
- 2:14:26Speaker 7: you're not supposed to do that well for irrigation purposes,
- 2:14:29Speaker 7: would I would imagine that you wouldn't be allowed to
- 2:14:32Speaker 7: use it for cooking or bathing or something there where
- 2:14:34Speaker 7: you could get sick.
- 2:14:35Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't want to do that for sure. You
- 2:14:36Speaker 2: have to treat it. And people do that. We talked
- 2:14:39Speaker 2: about this a while back.
- 2:14:41Speaker 6: I remember someone saying they had this whole cistern set
- 2:14:44Speaker 6: up where they filter the water and stuff.
- 2:14:47Speaker 3: They kind of rely on that.
- 2:14:48Speaker 7: That's I mean, that is how my mother, I mean
- 2:14:52Speaker 7: grew up because you rely on rainwater on an island
- 2:14:55Speaker 7: because you can't count right on the water that comes
- 2:14:58Speaker 7: from the mainland. I mean, someone's spitting on you would
- 2:15:01Speaker 7: actually have more force. So you have to have a cistern.
- 2:15:04Speaker 7: And it's you really you realize when you're in a
- 2:15:08Speaker 7: community of people who are like, man, it hasn't rained,
- 2:15:10Speaker 7: it hasn't rained, And everyone's looking at their cisterns wondering like, oh,
- 2:15:15Speaker 7: what are we going to do if it doesn't rain.
- 2:15:17Speaker 2: And fill up the cistern. That's why they build on Alcatraz.
- 2:15:20Speaker 2: Remember that's why the government shut Alcatraz down because they
- 2:15:22Speaker 2: had to import all the water and it's a giant rock.
- 2:15:25Speaker 7: I mean, look at what's happening with Puerto Rico right now.
- 2:15:27Speaker 7: You've got forty eight hour water rationing going on. They're
- 2:15:29Speaker 7: bringing in water trucks from the States.
- 2:15:31Speaker 2: I did not know that.
- 2:15:32Speaker 7: Oh yeah, they're because it's been so bone dry, the
- 2:15:35Speaker 7: reservoirs have dried up. So now Puerto Rico is trucking
- 2:15:38Speaker 7: in water and residents are on and off again, on
- 2:15:40Speaker 7: again schedule when it comes to bathing, drinking, and cooking.
- 2:15:43Speaker 2: I know, Lake Lake Powell and Lake Mead are historic lows,
- 2:15:47Speaker 2: so scary. Yeah, they're close to deadpool status.
- 2:15:50Speaker 8: You know that.
- 2:15:50Speaker 3: Yeah, they really are.
- 2:15:51Speaker 2: That's crazy, dude. Again, we were talking about the El Nino.
- 2:15:55Speaker 2: Was it Tuesday with Amy?
- 2:15:57Speaker 3: Yes, Jammy sweet?
- 2:15:58Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yesterday with Amy and she was like, well,
- 2:16:00Speaker 2: there is no super El nin you But I gotta
- 2:16:02Speaker 2: tell you, man, I hope that regular really strong on
- 2:16:04Speaker 2: THEU comes quick because you know, we need rain, man,
- 2:16:07Speaker 2: we need I mean out West we need it. I
- 2:16:08Speaker 2: don't know how it's gonna affect the people out West,
- 2:16:10Speaker 2: but I know here, it's supposed to be pretty rainy.
- 2:16:12Speaker 7: I guess out West, it's supposed to leave things pretty dry.
- 2:16:15Speaker 7: And what makes this really scary is that, you know,
- 2:16:17Speaker 7: out of those seven states, the state that needs the
- 2:16:19Speaker 7: most water is California because that's our biggest agricultural producing
- 2:16:24Speaker 7: state on the try. Yeah, I mean, I mean yeah,
- 2:16:26Speaker 7: they have a GDP greater than a lot of smaller countries.
- 2:16:30Speaker 7: So just the agriculture alone in the state of California
- 2:16:33Speaker 7: and those water needs makes living out West kind of
- 2:16:35Speaker 7: scary right now.
- 2:16:36Speaker 3: A rain barrel, yes, a rain barrel.
- 2:16:39Speaker 2: Well, how are you going? What are you gonna do
- 2:16:41Speaker 2: with it?
- 2:16:41Speaker 3: Put it underneath your gutters?
- 2:16:42Speaker 2: What are you to do with the water for a
- 2:16:45Speaker 2: landscape gardening? Yeah?
- 2:16:48Speaker 6: Just the outside water stuff. So I'm not running water,
- 2:16:51Speaker 6: So you gonna create a little pump system for that.
- 2:16:53Speaker 6: In my in my uh where I live, the water
- 2:16:57Speaker 6: comes in, it branches off. One's for irrigation, one goes
- 2:17:01Speaker 6: inside the house. There's a meter on each and you're
- 2:17:04Speaker 6: not paying for sewer on one, right, right, And that's
- 2:17:07Speaker 6: the only difference. It's the same exact water that goes
- 2:17:09Speaker 6: That water is my lawn that goes into my house.
- 2:17:12Speaker 6: There's no difference in the water, but the one that
- 2:17:15Speaker 6: goes into the house you pay. They add sewer and
- 2:17:18Speaker 6: all the other stuff. It is so much more expensive. Yeah,
- 2:17:21Speaker 6: which stays because it's the spigot for the hose is
- 2:17:24Speaker 6: actually on the house water, right, So if you use
- 2:17:28Speaker 6: your hose, right, you're paying the sewer on the stuff
- 2:17:31Speaker 6: you're spaying on your lawn.
- 2:17:32Speaker 2: And so that's why I put this spigot on my
- 2:17:35Speaker 2: zone two and I just sprin.
- 2:17:37Speaker 3: Get rid of that yard and start growing your own food.
- 2:17:40Speaker 2: I gotta tell you something, guys. You know, we installed
- 2:17:44Speaker 2: when we bought this place, we thought we were gonna
- 2:17:46Speaker 2: wind up flipping this house. We're not one hundred percent
- 2:17:48Speaker 2: sure that's what's gonna happen in the near future. We're
- 2:17:50Speaker 2: probably gonna keep it for a while. So we installed
- 2:17:51Speaker 2: a pretty nice yard in the front yard, you know,
- 2:17:53Speaker 2: zoisha grass, the whole nine yards. But we have a pump,
- 2:17:56Speaker 2: we have a well pump that pulls that from their aquifer.
- 2:17:59Speaker 2: And we still only use it, you know, once, uh
- 2:18:01Speaker 2: twice a week. I think what's the limit we're supposed
- 2:18:03Speaker 2: to do.
- 2:18:03Speaker 3: I think it's once right now?
- 2:18:04Speaker 6: Yeah, it really no right now, it's twice. It's twice
- 2:18:07Speaker 6: in the summer, I say, like when we turn the
- 2:18:09Speaker 6: clocks back then it goes to once. And I don't
- 2:18:11Speaker 6: know if that's true for every municipality. I know where
- 2:18:14Speaker 6: I live, that is the case.
- 2:18:15Speaker 2: Does it a daylight? And by the way, I'm not
- 2:18:17Speaker 2: pulling water from the city.
- 2:18:18Speaker 7: It's a well, right, And then that may be different
- 2:18:20Speaker 7: because our county was under the water restrictions when the
- 2:18:23Speaker 7: drought was so bad and they had reduced again because
- 2:18:26Speaker 7: they were telling city fountains you can only be on
- 2:18:29Speaker 7: an hour a day. Restaurants you can't give free water
- 2:18:31Speaker 7: unless the customer requests it.
- 2:18:33Speaker 3: Yeah, so I'm not sure. But because you are on
- 2:18:36Speaker 3: a well, I think the rules for you are different.
- 2:18:38Speaker 2: And I think depending on what county or what city
- 2:18:40Speaker 2: you live in. Like when we built our pool in
- 2:18:42Speaker 2: this last house, when we went to fill it up,
- 2:18:44Speaker 2: you have to let them know you're doing that because
- 2:18:46Speaker 2: if not, you'll get charged for those Oh yeah, ten thousand, fifteen,
- 2:18:51Speaker 2: whatever's the twelve thousand gallons of water. They will charge
- 2:18:53Speaker 2: you for the sewer on that get You don't even
- 2:18:55Speaker 2: see that bill. It's expensive already a lot of people actually,
- 2:18:58Speaker 2: instead of using the county's water or the city water,
- 2:19:00Speaker 2: they will hire a water truck to come in and
- 2:19:03Speaker 2: put water in their pool because it's way cheaper.
- 2:19:05Speaker 7: Speaking of water truck, you can imagine what it would
- 2:19:07Speaker 7: be like living on Puerto Rico, wondering when you can
- 2:19:10Speaker 7: get a glass of water, when your grandmother can get
- 2:19:13Speaker 7: her dialysis. But right over the fences, that great, big,
- 2:19:15Speaker 7: beautiful pool, that that hotel still hash you know, full
- 2:19:20Speaker 7: of tourists.
- 2:19:20Speaker 3: You know, they're not shutting off the water there.
- 2:19:23Speaker 6: Look, sometimes when you get it, I don't know how
- 2:19:27Speaker 6: available this information is.
- 2:19:29Speaker 2: But the water usage for golf.
- 2:19:31Speaker 3: Courses, oh man, oh they're so bad.
- 2:19:35Speaker 2: It is so bad. It's not good. There was a
- 2:19:39Speaker 2: a few years back when this whole idea of watering
- 2:19:41Speaker 2: courses and how much it costs and things of that nature.
- 2:19:44Speaker 2: When this came up, there are a number of people
- 2:19:46Speaker 2: who kind of came up with the idea of just
- 2:19:47Speaker 2: making them all artificial turf, because there's some super high
- 2:19:50Speaker 2: quality artificial turfs out there that you could put in
- 2:19:53Speaker 2: a golf course. And it would always say that way,
- 2:19:55Speaker 2: But the problem is that stuff is grossly expensive.
- 2:19:58Speaker 7: Well, not only that it would break down and end
- 2:20:00Speaker 7: up getting into the soil and the aquifer.
- 2:20:02Speaker 6: We just saw that with the World Cup, because World
- 2:20:05Speaker 6: Cup it always had to be on natural grass and
- 2:20:08Speaker 6: they didn't like playing professional soccer on artificial turf. But
- 2:20:12Speaker 6: I noticed, oh they're playing in you know, in Dallas's
- 2:20:16Speaker 6: stadium that's a dome, or even in Atlanta it's a
- 2:20:20Speaker 6: it's a it's closed but the top opens. But still
- 2:20:23Speaker 6: it was artificial turf. But they it's a hybrid now right,
- 2:20:26Speaker 6: they rolled, they can roll that entire field out right,
- 2:20:29Speaker 6: so we can get sun and in water naturally. I
- 2:20:33Speaker 6: don't know if they moved the field. I know it's
- 2:20:34Speaker 6: a hybrid where it's part synth this synthetic but part
- 2:20:40Speaker 6: real grass that's wild it is. And but it was
- 2:20:43Speaker 6: it's a better, better product quality wise for them to
- 2:20:48Speaker 6: use for sporting preferences.
- 2:20:51Speaker 2: Yeah, and we had we not put this yard and
- 2:20:53Speaker 2: we put in we were going with a what it's
- 2:20:54Speaker 2: zero what's it called zero escape, Yeah, zero escape, which
- 2:20:58Speaker 2: it's a you know, desert kind of look with some
- 2:21:00Speaker 2: stones and things of that nature. A lot of a
- 2:21:02Speaker 2: lot of that. M uh, the grass what's it called
- 2:21:06Speaker 2: fountain grass? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah, so that way you
- 2:21:09Speaker 2: can still make it look nice. We have already bigger
- 2:21:12Speaker 2: gave plants in the front yard as it is, and
- 2:21:14Speaker 2: it just kind of cut down the the impression we
- 2:21:17Speaker 2: make with the water. But you know, we didn't you
- 2:21:18Speaker 2: that Southwest Field, but the house doesn't really have that vibe,
- 2:21:21Speaker 2: so it didn't work there either. But we still just
- 2:21:24Speaker 2: we just wanted to use as little water as possible.
- 2:21:26Speaker 6: I got a spot in my lawn. It's my neighbor
- 2:21:28Speaker 6: even goes it goes, you know, one pallet of grass,
- 2:21:31Speaker 6: you could pick that. I am I've done three lawns
- 2:21:33Speaker 6: in this house. I am not putting another one down.
- 2:21:36Speaker 2: Tell me ask you a question. Yeah, and Tarwin, do
- 2:21:39Speaker 2: you pay to have it treated?
- 2:21:40Speaker 10: No?
- 2:21:41Speaker 2: Well that's the problem. You can't buy a new sod
- 2:21:43Speaker 2: and then just go okay, I hope it works. I mean,
- 2:21:45Speaker 2: you have to pay to have that down in April,
- 2:21:48Speaker 2: in October?
- 2:21:49Speaker 3: Does it?
- 2:21:49Speaker 2: You don't know anything about it. I know a lot
- 2:21:52Speaker 2: about it. You know nothing about it. I use the
- 2:21:54Speaker 2: zero six zero. What I know is you've bought three lawns.
- 2:22:00Speaker 2: That's what I know.
- 2:22:01Speaker 3: Well, that's why about Tuesday in Augustine's and then the

- 2:22:09Speaker 7: pretty penny worth of plants.
- 2:22:10Speaker 10: You.
- 2:22:10Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, that was because of a freeze, not because
- 2:22:12Speaker 2: of not knowledge.
- 2:22:15Speaker 3: I'm with you, Jack, keep the chemicals off our laue.
- 2:22:17Speaker 2: Frus seven nine one textas seven seven zero three one.

- 2:22:45Speaker 2: Jim Colbert Show.
- 2:22:50Speaker 11: Most golf courses don't use public drinking water. They use
- 2:22:54Speaker 11: reclaimed water not so not suitable for drinking. In fact,
- 2:22:59Speaker 11: most of them are under contract to take so many
- 2:23:01Speaker 11: one hundreds of thousands of gallons off the system so
- 2:23:06Speaker 11: that they don't have to purify it. All the way
- 2:23:09Speaker 11: into drinking water. They're using water that would otherwise have
- 2:23:14Speaker 11: to be cleaned. So golf courses are really doing it great.
- 2:23:17Speaker 2: So oh very nice.
- 2:23:17Speaker 14: Did I know that?
- 2:23:18Speaker 2: Okay, big golf. Yeah, it's gonna say collect rain water.

- 2:23:30Speaker 19: acres of man made lake that he did which collected
- 2:23:33Speaker 19: and actually diverted a lot of water.

- 2:26:29Speaker 2: deb has you heard it here? Foist good time for
- 2:26:34Speaker 2: you heard it here? First on The Jim Colbert Show.
- 2:26:37Speaker 7: Civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump is announcing a wrongful death
- 2:26:40Speaker 7: lawsuit on behalf of Millie Ortiz and what would have
- 2:26:43Speaker 7: been her ninety third birthday. Crump says the car in
- 2:26:47Speaker 7: which ore Tees was a passenger entered an intersection with
- 2:26:50Speaker 7: a green light. On January eighteenth, Orlando Police officer Andrew
- 2:26:54Speaker 7: McEwan and a marked cruiser observed another driver making a
- 2:26:57Speaker 7: legal U turn and then went after that vehicle right
- 2:27:01Speaker 7: tried to put on his license. Sirens apparently didn't stay
- 2:27:04Speaker 7: on real long, and Crump's talks about exact issues with
- 2:27:08Speaker 7: that patrol car.
- 2:27:09Speaker 9: The investigation into Millie's death subsequently revealed that the emergency
- 2:27:15Speaker 9: warned equipment in mercure and patrol vehicle had a documented
- 2:27:20Speaker 9: history of recurrent problems.
- 2:27:23Speaker 7: So the cars collided. Row ret row, killing ortiz. Now
- 2:27:27Speaker 7: Crump is seeking how much money and damages from the
- 2:27:30Speaker 7: Orlando Police Department.
- 2:27:31Speaker 2: How old was she this?
- 2:27:33Speaker 7: He announced the lawsuit today. This would have been her
- 2:27:35Speaker 7: ninety third birthday.
- 2:27:37Speaker 2: Ninety three million dollars. See the reason I asked that
- 2:27:43Speaker 2: question is the obvious, right, Like you know, if you're
- 2:27:46Speaker 2: ninety thirty of life, how much life is less? Right
- 2:27:49Speaker 2: type things? How much life she lives? I'll go up,
- 2:27:51Speaker 2: but it's still egregious. I'll still I'll go twenty two.
- 2:27:53Speaker 7: Million points, Jack ninety two million dollars. Oh my goodness,
- 2:27:57Speaker 7: because she was ninety two when she was killed.
- 2:28:00Speaker 12: Wow.
- 2:28:01Speaker 2: Wow, that's a stinger.
- 2:28:03Speaker 7: Yep, all right to Osiola County is taking steps to
- 2:28:06Speaker 7: catch those who illegally pass school buses. The school board
- 2:28:09Speaker 7: voted yesterday to put cameras on the buses. Now, the
- 2:28:11Speaker 7: cameras will be activated when the bus is stopped, its
- 2:28:15Speaker 7: red lights are flashing, and its stop arms are extended.
- 2:28:18Speaker 7: As you can imagine, these cameras are going to use AI. However,
- 2:28:23Speaker 7: despite that, each incident will be reviewed by an actual
- 2:28:26Speaker 7: law enforcement individual before a ticket is issued. The school
- 2:28:30Speaker 7: district and the company that makes the cameras will split
- 2:28:33Speaker 7: the revenue. There's no word on when the cameras will
- 2:28:37Speaker 7: be installed.
- 2:28:38Speaker 2: I think the era of Big Brother is.
- 2:28:41Speaker 3: Oh, it's been years.
- 2:28:42Speaker 2: I think it's upon us.
- 2:28:43Speaker 3: Yeah, it sure is.
- 2:28:45Speaker 2: I think it's up.
- 2:28:46Speaker 7: And then finally, a Port Saint Lucy Mann is being
- 2:28:48Speaker 7: called a hero after saving a woman from an oncoming
- 2:28:51Speaker 7: train and Hope sound twenty three year old Josiah Bauer.
- 2:28:55Speaker 2: This is the woman who was stopped on the tracks.
- 2:28:56Speaker 7: Saw the woman's car stuck on the tracks after the
- 2:28:59Speaker 7: crossing gate caught the antenna of her vehicle and wouldn't
- 2:29:03Speaker 7: let her move, so he ran over and lifted the gate,
- 2:29:06Speaker 7: giving her just enough time to back away before the
- 2:29:09Speaker 7: train came through. Thanks to his heroic actions, no one
- 2:29:13Speaker 7: was hurt.
- 2:29:14Speaker 2: And you see the video of it. It is crazifying
- 2:29:17Speaker 2: because here's the thing, man, the train just has to
- 2:29:20Speaker 2: clip the car and it kind of pulls it into
- 2:29:22Speaker 2: the train.
- 2:29:22Speaker 3: You know, Yeah, the way it works. It does not,
- 2:29:25Speaker 3: but you heard it here first on the Jim Culbert Show.
