This Was Not the Start to 2025 We Were Hoping For · The Wes Carroll Morning Show

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: The news, opinions, commentary and interviews you need.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: To start your day.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: You're listening to The West Carrol Morning Show.
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: Thursday morning, second day of January twenty twenty five. I'm Wes,
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: Thanks for joining me. We started off the new year
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: since we last met here, and we didn't start it
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: off the way we were hoping to. My last calls
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: on the last couple of shows before we finished out
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty four, basically trying to have some optimism and
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: some hope even for people who maybe the election didn't
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: go the way they were wanting it to, or maybe
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: they had bleak outlooks in general about things. And you
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: got the folks that, you know, they have their hatred
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: for Trump, how dare he beat Hillary when he did?
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: And you had the people who seem to have forgotten
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: that he had a president and see that he says
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: that he really won reelection and ended up leaving, you know,
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: the White House peacefully. There was no fight. They didn't
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: have to drag him out the door. There was no
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: call in security and let's take him out. He ended
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: up leaving and you know, packed up his stuff and
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: apparently some classified things. We don't know the order of events.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: But you know he left. There was no I'm not leaving.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: There was no I'm a dictator, there was no I
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: am the King of America.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Now, none of that.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: But you know, we heard all that last year during
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: the election, So I can understand how some people maybe
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: bought that after hearing it over and over and over again,
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: maybe with little to no memory of what actually happened
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: during his first administration. So I was trying to give
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: some kind of hope and positivity and that maybe we
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: could all have some sort of positive start to the year,
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: even people who aren't looking forward to inauguration Day, which
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: by the way, is really a little over a couple
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: of weeks away. I mean, you know, it's coming up fast,
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: like eighteen days. But instead of getting a good start
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: to the year like we're accustomed to or used to,
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: we instead got a terror attack in New Orleans, Bourbon Street,
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: one of the the You know, you had a handful
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: of places that are sort of those spots that you
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: go for New Year's if you want to go and party.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: You got New York. New York obviously went through the
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: World Trade Center attacks. They understand I guess a little
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: bit better about how to lock those down. It involves
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: people standing in Times Square in diapers for hours and hours,
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: like half a day, but gets the job done, I guess.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: And it's a bit more secured. You know, you got
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: the Disney parks, which feel pretty safe when you're in there.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: You're not overly concerned about somebody doing something crazy in there,
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: although I don't know, maybe you do think about it
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: at least, but you know, that's one of those places.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: You got big cities where there's going to be celebrations
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: in various forms of fruit or snacks or whatever falls
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: from the sky, you know, peaches or whatever. And then
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: you've got a place like New Orleans that probably felt
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: reasonably secure. They had some barricades in place, they just
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: apparently either weren't secured properly or didn't completely block the path.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: And someone decided, we're going to drive a truck into
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: this crowd of people and see how many people we
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: can hit and create as much chaos and anarchy as
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: possible with an ISIS flag apparently in the vehicle, and
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: then jump out. And I don't know if this was
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: a true suicide by cop or if this was a
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: you know, I'm going down blazing. I don't know what
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: the motivation was, and this is an ongoing situation, so
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna sit here and pretend to be your
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: breaking news on this because the story has changed many
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: times since yesterday morning. I was in bed when the
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: New Year happened here on the East Coast. I was asleep.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: I think I think I fell asleep. I remember looking
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: at the clock. It was eleven fifteen.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: I was very tired.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: I had gone to bed, and I just thought maybe
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: i'll get The boys were up, Jill was up, and
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: I thought, maybe I'll get out of bed if I'm
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: still awaken, you know, fifteen minutes at eleven thirty, I'll
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: get up. Next thing I remember was waking up, you know.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: So I was out pretty close to that point. So
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: I was up my normal routine. You do morning radio
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: for a really, really long time. You tend to wake
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: up at morning radio times. It still happens, and when
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: you do a morning show like this one, you get
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: up kind of even when you're off, especially when it's
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: a weekday. So I got up, and that's when I
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: saw the news of what had happened in New Orleans.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: We have friends who live in New Orleans. We checked
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: on them. I've got friends that are visiting New Orleans
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: specifically to I don't know, watch a Bowl game. I
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: mean that's part of why. And to also, you know,
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: be a tourist in New Orleans and you know, checked
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: in with them, make sure that they're okay.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: I probably know a lot more people.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: That are there for that particular football game that obviously
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: has been delayed because of what happened. A lot of
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: people asking questions, well, why.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Would they do that.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: Well, there's a number of reasons why you could delay
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: a sporting event after a terror attack, starting with the
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: fact that there had been a terror attack and with
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: the investigation still ongoing and questions about how many people
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: were involved and what other things might have been planned
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: or potentially planned. Yeah, sometimes it's in the best interest
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: to postpone the event until they can do a reset
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: on the whole security situation. Had they known there was
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: a viable security threat on Bourbon Street, I think they
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: would have done some sort of an attempt at trying
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: to reset how they were doing security there. You would
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: certainly believe that would be the case. Now, can you
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: delay you know midnight on New Year's No, you can't
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: do that, but a football game you can. I know,
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: it's inconvenient to everyone involved, people who are probably not
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: going to get to watch the game in person that
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: we're there, that have to get back to life in
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: the world today and you know, trying to figure out
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: exactly hotel stays or you know, what their travel situation
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: is like any of those things. People with flights, people
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: that are driving, whatever they're doing. It's complicated. But apparently
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: some sort of potential viable threat was there for them
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: to say, Hey, this is something that we need to do.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: So this is one of those things where you know,
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: we've gone through there have been a few of these.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: We had Wisconsin, that was one of these. In Germany, right,
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: this is one of those situations where, sadly, like real
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: true barricades are sort of the only way to actually
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: defend this. I shared this story, and you know, we're not,
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: you know, party people. I think that's an understatement for
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: my bride and eye, not on that scale.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: We're not.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: We were at Disney once for New Years. We didn't
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: really plan to be there for the big party. We
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: knew we were going to be there obviously for New Years,
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: we didn't fully exp This was many years ago, twenty
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: plus years ago. We were there for New Years and
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: this is We were just there and we were like,
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: oh wow. We didn't fully appreciate how many people were
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: going to be there. We were then a little uncomfortable
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: with the crowd, but we had a good time. It
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: was kind of cool to be around that many people.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: I don't know that we would do it now. I
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: don't know that we would ever want to be around
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: that many people for an event like that, for a
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: party like that.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: We did go to New Orleans during Marti Grass not
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: too long ago, and we mostly stayed away from the
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: wild revelry. There was a point where we said, we're here,
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: maybe we should just wander into Bourbon Street in the
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: evening and just you know, check the box and say, hey,
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: we've been there, we've seen it. We took in whatever
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: the sites may be, which we did, and after much discussion,
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: Jill kept saying, I don't know that we really need
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: to do this, and I said, I'm pretty sure we
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: don't need to do it, but you know, it's something
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: to check. It's a box, and she ultimately agreed, and
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: we did. And I think we were there about ten
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: minutes before we both decided we needed to leave. A
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: friend of ours who lives there actually was our transportation.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: She dropped us off. There were a few sites that
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: Jill wanted to see in that area, so we made
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: our way to those sites. We saw them, and then
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: we said, okay, we have to get back out. She
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: wanted to take a path other than Bourbon Street to
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: get out, and I pointed out to her that while
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: there wasn't a lot of security along Bourbon Street, there
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: were police officers. There weren't many, but there were a few,
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: and at the very least that area is more well lit,
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: even though there's a lot of people. So that's what
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: we did, and we went back retraced our steps. I
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: got hit in the face with something that was thrown
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: up in the air or thrown down, I don't know.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: We were sort of just trying to navigate through the
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: people and get out of there, and I can happily
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: say I survived getting hit in the face with whatever
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: it was.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: I don't know what it was. It was hard.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: It was possibly some sort of jewelry, Maybe it would
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: beads or something, or to bloon something that was thrown
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: I don't know what it was. I tell you that
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: story to tell and then we got out and we
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: were picked up by our friend and thank you, Dorothy.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: But I tell you that story to tell you that
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: we were there in a time when there were a
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: lot of people and it did not feel overly secure.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: So it didn't surprise me to wake up yesterday morning
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: and find out that someone had managed to get a
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: vehicle around barricades. I don't really remember seeing barricades. I
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: remember seeing barricades at a number of places since nine
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: to eleven in New York, in DC, a lot of places.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of them around the spots in Atlanta.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: I don't remember seeing them, not secure ones anyway.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: In New Orleans.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: It doesn't surprise that that area is something that an
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: area where someone decided, hey, this would be a spot
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: to try this. So what do we know, Well, we've
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: learned pretty quickly that the suspect, and you know how
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: I am about names of people that do these things,
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: but he has been eliminated as a threat and as.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: A glory seeker. I guess so.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: Samsudding Jabbar forty two years old, according to reports released
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: from the military, I guess he was in the Army,
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: discharged honorably and no real criminal record. Some misdemeanor stuff,
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: driving with a expired license, those sorts of things. Nothing
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: that jumps out at you that would make you think
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: this guy could be a major problem. Nothing at least yet,
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: I hadn't seen anything. The ISIS flag is obviously what
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: got the attention of the FBI, and it's what got
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: the attention why almost immediately you were hearing calls of
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: this as we're investigating this is terrorism. Uh. The investigation
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: will go on, There'll be more details about this incident,
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: and again I'm not going to be your breaking news
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: source for it. Things things will have changed by the
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: time you listen to this, depending on when you listen
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: to it. What I will make an observation about with
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: it is a couple of things. First of all, I
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: do want to point out that the you know, incumbent,
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: the current president, was briefed on everything, had a few
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: comments about it. Standing outside I guess Air Force one yesterday,
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: couldn't really understand anything he was saying. Uh. The the
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: incoming president Trump basically saying, you know, I've been telling
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: you that the border was going to be a I've
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: been telling you that terrorism is a problem, and that
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: it was dismissed by Democrats. It was dismissed by the media,
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: so there's some questions. And this guy was apparently an
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: American citizen who obviously served in the military. So how
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: much of this relates to the border. I don't know.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: I do know that politicians have a way of jumping
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: in and saying, hey.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: Let's politicize this. Both sides do it.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: I don't know how this all plays out into ultimately
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: the story, but I feel like it's worth mentioning. Democrats
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: often will say, well, where do they get the gun?
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: Again?
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: This is a gun, and then they don't really find
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: out that there was anything differently that could have happened.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: A miner gets a gun, shoots in a school, and
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: you know, the miner is not supposed to have a
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: gun anyway, so changing the law wouldn't have changed anything.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's one of those things where there's this
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: knee jerk panic situation. What I do want to talk about,
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: just briefly this morning, is they quickly were able to
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: not only label this as a terror attack, they were
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: also quickly able to tell us what terrorism is, you know,
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: using fear to try to bring about some sort of
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: an agenda, some sort of change, whether it's societal change,
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: whether it's you know, law change, whatever it is, to
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: fight oppression, anything that involves fear as a means of
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: carrying out your.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: Mission.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: We've been talking about this for quite a bit. I'll
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: go back even to twenty twenty when terror was being
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: used on US soil by Americans to shape the outcome
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: of the election, to scare those red hat wearing Republicans
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: from going out in the street. We had politicians screaming
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: to get in their faces at the gasoline stations. Now,
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: I understand getting in someone's face in a confrontational way
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: probably doesn't constitute terrorism.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: But in the.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: Context of people burning down cities and taking over large
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: chunks of property, including federal buildings, post offices, and things,
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: I would think that could fall into the category of terrorism.
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, if you take over large city blocks of
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: major cities in the US, I would think, you know,
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: and you're telling people they can't come and go, or
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: they are not allowed in your zone, they're not allowed
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: in this district that you've now formed, this new state
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: or city or whatever you're calling it sounds terroristic. To me,
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: we know what happened at the Capitol Building on January sixth,
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: and we know that that was instantly called an insurrection
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: because that's a federal building, with disregard to any of
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: the other federal buildings were affected during twenty twenty during
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: the election period. So people that riot in the streets,
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: burn buildings down, take over large sections of cities and
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: federal buildings not terrorism because they're trying to bring about
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: societal change. This was the very definition we were given
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: of what terrorism was yesterday. Repeatedly, Uh, how about I
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: don't know, a CEO of United Healthcare being murdered in
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: the streets in New York and people still celebrating that
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: act on social media, still celebrating it, saying maybe they
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: should get some of these other guys to know they
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: could be shot too.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: That'll bring about change. Isn't that what we just said
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: terrorism was.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: I don't understand how it's so easy to identify it
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: when we see an ISIS flag, but we have such
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: a hard time with it when it's got some political
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: implications or there might be voters involved.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: It's not.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: It's not completely absurd to understand it because we do
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: allow certain things based on politics. But we shouldn't, right,
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: it's not something that we should be doing. This is
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: a despicable act that happened in New Orleans. The cities
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: that burned to the ground, districts and regions of cities
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: that burn to the ground in twenty twenty, or anytime
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: there's been sadly horrifically a police involved shooting or a
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: person losing their life, and the response is to burn
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: things down in the name of social justice. No, you're
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: trying to scare people. You're trying to intimidate people. And
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: during twenty twenty, they were trying to impact the election.
• 19:05

  Speaker 2: Wade.

  Speaker 3: We got to go to their house and let them
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: know that they could die if they don't do what
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: we want them to do. It's not the way the
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: Supreme Court works, not at all. It's not the way
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: society is supposed to work. If you're using fear to
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: try to bring about any sort of change or push
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: of agenda, or push of any sort of even societal change.
• 19:46

  Speaker 3: you as well, and again they do after hours calls.

• 23:11
  Speaker 3: and you need somebody to come help, and they do
• 23:14

  Speaker 3: dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Show right after the break.
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: Well, as of yesterday, the OG Popeye comic strip version
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: of Popeye enters the public domain. This gets a little
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: complicated with how this whole thing works. You remember Mickey Mouse,
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: the og steamboat Willie Mickey Mouse entered the public domain.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: A year ago. That was a big deal.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: But it's still not the version of Mickey euse that
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: we're most accustomed to, the version of Popeye. We're most
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: accustomed to the one from the cartoons or you know,
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: Robin Williams or whatever.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: Those not so much.
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: It goes back to the ones from nineteen twenty nine,
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: and this is the but it's Popeye. It's just it's
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: the comic strip version of him. And like I said,
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: it gets a little bit complicated. You want to make
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: sure that if you're going to use those images in
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: any way, you're using the correct version of Popeye. That's
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: the only caution that I can give you. You want to
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: make sure you're using the correct version of Mickey Mouse,
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: the correct version of Popeye, the correct version of ten
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: ten Now ten ten not quite as popular here in
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: the States as he is another places. I'm not saying
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: you don't know who ten ten is. I'm just saying
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: I don't know how big the ten ten public domain
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: story is when Popeye is there.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Popeye not really as big of a deal either.
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: Maybe if the you know, movie version had come out
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: more recently, or there had been you know, one of
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: those three D animation whatever, you know, they've redone everything.
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: Where's Popeye been? It seems like it was an opportunity
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: that was missed. Maybe I don't know, or maybe people
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: are just thinking, hey, we want to make our own Popeye,
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: and we'll use the comic strip version of him. So
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: and what inevitably happens, you know, is we've already had
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: like the horror version of a Winnie the Pooh that
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: came out. I don't know that they did end up
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: doing the weren't they going to do a steamboat Mickey
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: horror story?
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: Popeye the Slayer Man has been getting discussed. I don't
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: know if that's really going to happen now, I mean
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: it seems like the title just is there for the
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: takings as a horror movie. Seems like I think there
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: was a movie version they were kicking around for a
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: while the last couple of years, and maybe they were
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: just waiting for this opportunity. The Steamboat Mickey look has
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: a very specific look to him, and all of the
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: other versions that did not hit the public domain yet
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: have a specific look to him. So I'm thinking, with
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: something like Popeye, if you wanted to just run with
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: the comic, the og comic version of him, this might
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: have been wise to wait. And I don't know that
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: anybody is gonna come up with.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: A horror version of ten ten. I don't know.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: I don't know that ten ten is really going to
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: see too much action out of all of this. Ernest
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: Hemingway's Farewell to Arms, William Faulkner's Sound and The Fury
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: both are now officially public domain works.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: So there's that.
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: Also Blackmail, Alfred Hitchcock's first talkie movie, and then Coco
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: Nuts that's Marx Brothers movie, first paramount Marx Brothers movie,
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: and then also A Broadway Melody, which was the first
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: movie to win the Best Picture Oscar with Sound Wings
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: was the previous winner, and it was a silent film.
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: So if you want to have any fun with any
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: of those, by all means it's there for you. Waiting
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: Popeye the Slayer Man. I didn't watch the Winnie the
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: Pooh one. I don't know that I really would watch
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: Popeye the Slayer Man. That'll do it for this Thursday
