- 1:43Speaker 2: but working here for as long as I've had the pleasure.
- 1:47Speaker 2: I've been so lucky. It's one of the best companies
- 1:50Speaker 2: I think you can work for in Central Florida. Yeah,
- 1:51Speaker 2: I think the stats say that. it too i think
- 1:53Speaker 2: universal is considered one of the best companies you can
- 1:55Speaker 2: work for in the u.s much less even florida man
- 1:57Speaker 2: and seriously they just do such a good job when
- 2:00Speaker 2: you become a team member that you are part of
- 2:02Speaker 2: a community and you have a shared goal and it's
- 2:05Speaker 2: really cool and special to have a shared goal with
- 2:07Speaker 2: tens of other thousands of people to entertain and it
- 2:09Speaker 2: is packed already you know of course the park is
- 2:11Speaker 2: already firing up halloween hard nights matter of fact they're
- 2:14Speaker 2: shaggy right there Our boy Shags.
- 2:16Speaker 3: Oh, there's Shags.
- 2:17Speaker 2: Halloween Horror Nights starts at 6 o'clock tonight, but a
- 2:20Speaker 2: lot of people will come in early, kind of hang
- 2:21Speaker 2: out at the park, then switch into Halloween Horror Nights.
- 2:24Speaker 2: The cool thing for us is... broadcasting live here right
- 2:26Speaker 2: next to Brown Derby. So if you're in the park,
- 2:28Speaker 2: come over and say, hey, we get to watch the
- 2:30Speaker 2: transformation live happening right in front of us. Like these
- 2:34Speaker 2: scare zones that are right in front of us will
- 2:35Speaker 2: come to life around 6 o'clock. And then as we
- 2:38Speaker 2: kind of keep going, you'll just see the people coming in,
- 2:41Speaker 2: people who are like costumes and having a good time.
- 2:45Speaker 4: Four scare zones, ten houses to check out this year.
- 2:47Speaker 4: And I just learned something else that's really cool. Foodies
- 2:50Speaker 4: like yourself, Jimmy.
- 2:51Speaker 2: Oh, really?
- 2:52Speaker 4: Foodies have not been left out of the Halloween Horror
- 2:54Speaker 4: Nights game. Our good friend Jody just told us if
- 2:57Speaker 4: you have that app, it will tell you where the
- 3:00Speaker 4: best drinks are to get.
- 3:01Speaker 5: Really?
- 3:01Speaker 3: Where the best food is to get.
- 3:03Speaker 5: There's been a lot of talk about the food. Like
- 3:05Speaker 5: there's a skull with spaghetti or something.
- 3:07Speaker 4: Yeah, I saw an interview with the chef and I
- 3:09Speaker 4: was telling Ross.
- 3:10Speaker 2: A skull with spaghetti.
- 3:11Speaker 4: It's almost worth coming to Halloween Horror Nights for the
- 3:14Speaker 4: food and drinks alone.
- 3:15Speaker 2: Tell me about it, Ross. It's a stuffed pizza skull
- 3:17Speaker 2: and there is a vegan option. I believe this year
- 3:20Speaker 2: might only be vegan, but it's this awesome vibrant green
- 3:23Speaker 2: skull that's stuffed with with pizza ingredients. The food is amazing.
- 3:28Speaker 2: The houses are even better. But there is a new
- 3:31Speaker 2: MVP for this year's event. So you came out last night.
- 3:36Speaker 2: I came here last night. I enjoyed the offerings that
- 3:38Speaker 2: Halloween Horror Nights can only offer on this planet. Absolutely, yeah.
- 3:42Speaker 2: I've already done all 10 houses. I've done them all,
- 3:44Speaker 2: and now I've done some of them multiple times. But
- 3:47Speaker 2: there was one thing that I did for the first time,
- 3:49Speaker 2: and I promise you people are going to show up
- 3:51Speaker 2: to this event, and they're going to sleep on it,
- 3:53Speaker 2: and they're going to miss it, and they're going to
- 3:55Speaker 2: see a video and go, what? How did I miss that?
- 3:57Speaker 2: How did I miss that?
- 3:58Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
- 3:59Speaker 2: This year's Lagoon Show is the greatest... thing I've ever
- 4:04Speaker 2: seen done with water. Well, we know you don't shower,
- 4:08Speaker 2: so it's not that. I cannot tell you, if you
- 4:12Speaker 2: are a fan of Stranger Things, I've only seen the
- 4:14Speaker 2: first season. Oh, really? The show did not capture me
- 4:17Speaker 2: the same way it did a lot of other people.
- 4:19Speaker 2: Because you didn't live through to the 80s. A little juvenile, maybe,
- 4:22Speaker 2: for you? No, I just ran out of time. I
- 4:25Speaker 2: just didn't get to it. I have only seen the
- 4:27Speaker 2: first season. That entire Lagoon show is a celebration of
- 4:32Speaker 2: of Stranger Things from seasons one all the way to five,
- 4:36Speaker 2: it is the best way of saying goodbye. Really? To
- 4:40Speaker 2: one of the greatest shows that's happened in this generation.
- 4:43Speaker 2: That's kind of wild because as I've read about the
- 4:45Speaker 2: show this year, as I've read about the houses and
- 4:47Speaker 2: the scare zone, something we really look forward to talking
- 4:50Speaker 2: about season come, you know, here in Central Florida, I
- 4:53Speaker 2: haven't heard one peep about this Lagoon show. And it's
- 4:56Speaker 2: because people, I think, have a notion, they already have
- 5:01Speaker 2: a preconceived idea of what the Lagoon show is going
- 5:03Speaker 2: to be. There is technology that I'm pretty sure NASA
- 5:07Speaker 2: gave Universal. The Lagoon show is filled with theme park magic.
- 5:12Speaker 2: I don't even know how you start to make that show. Really?
- 5:17Speaker 2: I got goosebumps three times and my jaw dropped five.
- 5:21Speaker 2: I could not believe how powerful, I didn't even care
- 5:24Speaker 2: for the show. And it made me go like, we
- 5:26Speaker 2: have to take Vesna down. You weren't even a big
- 5:28Speaker 2: Stranger Things fan, but yet the show was amazing. It
- 5:31Speaker 2: was phenomenal. If you want to see what cutting-edge entertainment
- 5:34Speaker 2: technology looks like, don't just go to the Lagoon Show.
- 5:38Speaker 2: They do the Stranger Things. It's a Netflix production that's
- 5:41Speaker 2: happening right there. Literally, I'll be all geeked out about
- 5:44Speaker 2: it now. It's a must. My wife and her friend
- 5:47Speaker 2: are on property to go tonight. I have to let
- 5:49Speaker 2: her know. Be sure to go see the Lagoon Show.
- 5:51Speaker 2: We were gigantic Stranger Things. The first two seasons... We
- 5:54Speaker 2: were Stranger Things. We watched it. We geeked over it. Bellagio,
- 5:58Speaker 2: eat your heart out. Oh, really? I love that.
- 6:00Speaker 6: These fountains.
- 6:01Speaker 2: Doing work, huh? Yeah. And then they got the projections
- 6:04Speaker 2: onto the mist. And then there's, I don't want to
- 6:07Speaker 2: spoil it. It's literally a show that you can spoil.
- 6:09Speaker 2: That's how good it is. That's awesome, man. And you
- 6:12Speaker 2: say they run it like three or four times a night? Yeah, yeah.
- 6:14Speaker 2: It's right there on the lagoon. There's a great spot
- 6:17Speaker 2: to watch it in Battery Park. I think it's Battery
- 6:20Speaker 2: Park or just the park right there against the water.
- 6:22Speaker 2: It is a must. If you're going to Halloween Horror
- 6:24Speaker 2: Nights and you've seen just the trailer of Stranger Things,
- 6:27Speaker 2: watch that show.
- 6:29Speaker 1: Wow.
- 6:29Speaker 2: Now, did your second visit, because you also got to
- 6:32Speaker 2: go to the preview because of your relationship with Universal,
- 6:34Speaker 2: did your second visit change your mind on any of
- 6:38Speaker 2: the houses? Because I told you that the, I think
- 6:40Speaker 2: it was Channel 6 review, they had a guy say it,
- 6:42Speaker 2: and all of the ones that you chose, you thought
- 6:44Speaker 2: that were the best ones, made it into the top five,
- 6:46Speaker 2: but it wasn't the right order. They thought that the
- 6:49Speaker 2: Aussie house... uh was the best and the hellraiser was
- 6:51Speaker 2: like maybe number five uh i'm all but the blood
- 6:54Speaker 2: and guts guy did well as well i absolutely and
- 6:57Speaker 2: if i were to reorder it i probably would put
- 6:59Speaker 2: ozzy higher and uh the main reason why and by
- 7:02Speaker 2: all means i don't think this is a spoiler but
- 7:04Speaker 2: i'm just giving you a heads up if i'm sorry
- 7:07Speaker 2: if this makes anybody upset but like you get to
- 7:09Speaker 2: ride the crazy train yeah yeah yeah while listening to crazy.
- 7:12Speaker 3: Train well some of us have ridden that train before
- 7:15Speaker 3: like i.
- 7:16Speaker 2: But it's the real, like, Ozzy Osbourne estate signed off.
- 7:20Speaker 2: That's pretty cool. This is the closest you'll ever get
- 7:23Speaker 2: to riding the real crazy train, and you feel it.
- 7:26Speaker 2: That's cool, man. But HR and Blood and Guts is
- 7:28Speaker 2: my favorite house, and I think Hellraiser is the best house.
- 7:30Speaker 2: Right on. Very cool. Well, we will be taking texts today.
- 7:33Speaker 2: We aren't in the studio. We will be taking texts, though,
- 7:35Speaker 2: so if you want to have a text, you can
- 7:36Speaker 2: do that.
- 7:37Speaker 7: 77031.
- 7:37Speaker 2: No phone calls today. Oh, no, we're doing trivia today,
- 7:41Speaker 2: so we do have phone calls. Yeah, we'll have that
- 7:43Speaker 2: as well.
- 7:43Speaker 5: You want to leave top backs? We're working on getting that.
- 7:45Speaker 5: Just launched the video stream, so you can watch us
- 7:47Speaker 5: on YouTube. Need you guys to join on, and otherwise,
- 7:50Speaker 5: they're just going to watch me.
- 7:52Speaker 2: Very nice. What's up? To answer your question, is there
- 7:55Speaker 2: an opinion that has changed with my second visit? There
- 7:59Speaker 2: is one opinion that has changed. Okay. There is a
- 8:01Speaker 2: mixed drink that to the weak, they will be scared.
- 8:05Speaker 2: They will be scared. They will run. They will run.
- 8:07Speaker 2: Because I don't think people are ready for the circus
- 8:10Speaker 2: peanut mixed drink cocktail. The circus peanut? Like the orange
- 8:14Speaker 2: circus peanut? The one that's infamous and that no one likes?
- 8:19Speaker 2: That one.
- 8:19Speaker 3: That one.
- 8:20Speaker 5: The one you pack your valuables with?
- 8:23Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 8:23Speaker 2: I had it at preview, and I thought, all right,
- 8:25Speaker 2: this is okay. And then I had it last night.
- 8:28Speaker 2: I think they retooled the recipe. It is a very
- 8:32Speaker 2: special cocktail. Really? What's the main liquor? It's circus peanut juice.
- 8:38Speaker 2: I don't know. Circus peanut.
- 8:39Speaker 5: It's definitely not circus peanut juice. It's going to be
- 8:41Speaker 5: like vodka or something, right? I think it's vodka.
- 8:43Speaker 2: All I know is it was my second drink, and
- 8:45Speaker 2: it tasted... a lot better than the first time I
- 8:48Speaker 2: had it. And what's it taste like? Is it orange
- 8:50Speaker 2: or something like that? Dude, it tastes kind of like
- 8:52Speaker 2: circus peanut. Oh, okay. But just without the texture. I
- 8:55Speaker 2: don't know how else to describe it other than it's working. Okay,
- 8:59Speaker 2: very good. You go into, like I said, it's not
- 9:01Speaker 2: for the weak. If you are weak. That drink is
- 9:04Speaker 2: not for you. Oh, so it's strong is what you're saying.
- 9:06Speaker 2: It's also strong. Okay. And it's a little sweet, but
- 9:09Speaker 2: you will never be able to drink a circus peanut
- 9:12Speaker 2: for the rest of your life. So when in Rome.
- 9:15Speaker 1: All right.
- 9:15Speaker 2: So the circus peanut drink. I like the circus peanut drink.
- 9:18Speaker 2: Very good. And the Ozzy Osbourne like cinnamon with an S. Yeah, yeah.
- 9:22Speaker 2: I've heard about that one though. Yeah, that one's, that's
- 9:24Speaker 2: probably the best drink at Halloween Hornet. Everybody, Remy coming
- 9:27Speaker 2: in a little bit later. He is going to kind
- 9:28Speaker 2: of also kind of go around the park and tell
- 9:30Speaker 2: you what he found in the scare zones and some
- 9:31Speaker 2: of the other places. A couple heads up about if
- 9:34Speaker 2: you're coming out to Halloween Horror Nights, things you can
- 9:35Speaker 2: look forward to, things you can maybe find that a
- 9:38Speaker 2: little heads up will get you there. You know, and
- 9:41Speaker 2: I didn't do all 10 houses last night. I only
- 9:43Speaker 2: did four. And then I saw the Lagoon show and
- 9:46Speaker 2: the dance show. And I got to tell you, that
- 9:49Speaker 2: Jack house, though. Easy. Pretty good, huh? Dude, the Jack house.
- 9:54Speaker 2: The Jack and Oddfellow, like their flagship in-house universal creation.
- 10:00Speaker 2: made this beautiful, I mean, effect after effect. This was
- 10:04Speaker 2: your favorite house, right? This was not my favorite, but
- 10:07Speaker 2: it's in my top three. It would be my third
- 10:09Speaker 2: favorite house.
- 10:09Speaker 9: All right.
- 10:10Speaker 2: Because you had Hellraiser. Yeah, Hellraiser feels like 25 minutes long.
- 10:14Speaker 7: For you.
- 10:14Speaker 2: Oh, really?
- 10:15Speaker 5: Yeah, and Crazy Train, which the Aussie one, which was
- 10:19Speaker 5: number one on everyone in the world except you put
- 10:22Speaker 5: it at five.
- 10:23Speaker 2: I think I even put it at six. Oh!
- 10:25Speaker 7: What?
- 10:27Speaker 2: But I prefaced it by going, hey, these last six
- 10:30Speaker 2: houses are splitting hairs. If Ozzy was really dead, he'd
- 10:34Speaker 2: be rolling in his grave. That's a weird conspiracy. I'm
- 10:39Speaker 2: going to start something new. I didn't get that into
- 10:42Speaker 2: the feed. What algorithm you got? You still bad? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 10:45Speaker 2: But those top six houses are, I think, and I
- 10:49Speaker 2: may be going out on a plank here, but I
- 10:51Speaker 2: think those are the best six houses ever. that one
- 10:55Speaker 2: year has had. I'm not saying it's the best houses,
- 10:59Speaker 2: but if you grab any six houses out of any year,
- 11:02Speaker 2: I think that's the best collection. And there's 10 houses. Damn,
- 11:05Speaker 2: that's awesome. So we're so lucky to live in Central
- 11:08Speaker 2: Florida and have this event. We are, 100%, man. So
- 11:12Speaker 2: many good things going on. I haven't even talked about
- 11:13Speaker 2: the scare zones. We'll get into that a little bit later. 407-916-1041.
- 11:15Speaker 2: You can always text us at 77031. They've got some
- 11:20Speaker 2: news for us.
- 11:21Speaker 4: Yeah, high costs and heavy traffic expected over Labor Day.
- 11:24Speaker 4: Miami-Dade leaders are against GTA 6 branding.
- 11:28Speaker 3: I can't imagine why.
- 11:30Speaker 2: They're perfectly fine with a game where you can murder people.
- 11:33Speaker 2: It's just the branding they're pissed about. Yeah, because now
- 11:35Speaker 2: it takes place in Miami.
- 11:36Speaker 3: Exactly. And excuse me, ma'am, is your purse traditional or
- 11:40Speaker 3: lemon pepper?
- 11:41Speaker 2: What?
- 11:42Speaker 3: We'll talk about that and more coming up next during
- 11:44Speaker 3: JCS News.
- 11:45Speaker 2: You got a single break. We'll come back and get
- 11:46Speaker 2: Deb's news and continue on with the Jim Colbert Show

- 12:41Speaker 2: Speaking of Deb, let's get some news.
- 12:43Speaker 1: It's time for JCS News. Wow, has this guy got
- 12:49Speaker 1: to put his name on everything?
- 12:49Speaker 2: It's in my contract, dude!
- 12:51Speaker 1: Here's the news on The Jim Colbert Show.
- 12:54Speaker 4: And as always, JCS News is brought to you by
- 12:57Speaker 4: that mortgage guy, Don. Make sure you give him a
- 12:59Speaker 4: listen tomorrow morning when he's host of the Home Loans
- 13:02Speaker 4: Radio Show.
- 13:03Speaker 2: All right, you guys, it's official.
- 13:04Speaker 4: A Massachusetts Superior Court judge has declared a mistrial in
- 13:08Speaker 4: the Lindsay Clancy case today after a state Supreme Judicial
- 13:14Speaker 4: Court denied her, quote, Last-ditch effort request for relief.
- 13:18Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
- 13:19Speaker 4: So Clancy was charged with strangling her three children in
- 13:21Speaker 4: the family's Massachusetts home in 2023. During their seven-day of deliberations,
- 13:27Speaker 4: jurors sent a note to the judge saying they'd reached
- 13:29Speaker 4: an impasse, could not unanimously decide whether Clancy was criminally
- 13:33Speaker 4: responsible for killing her children.
- 13:35Speaker 3: There was word of that.
- 13:36Speaker 4: One lone juror who was the holdout for not willing
- 13:39Speaker 4: to apply the law for reasonable doubt. The judge called
- 13:43Speaker 4: each and every one of the jurors up to the
- 13:44Speaker 4: bench and questioned them separately, asking if they understood. the
- 13:49Speaker 4: law of reasonable doubt and were willing to apply it,
- 13:51Speaker 4: and each one of them answered yes.
- 13:53Speaker 5: So I was just assuming there would be one holdout saying,
- 13:58Speaker 5: leaning on insanity, and everyone.
- 14:00Speaker 2: Else would be guilty.
- 14:01Speaker 3: Yeah, no.
- 14:02Speaker 2: But it was the opposite.
- 14:03Speaker 3: It was the opposite.
- 14:04Speaker 4: Everyone else was not guilty. This person expressed saying, yeah,
- 14:08Speaker 4: I think there's reasonable doubt, but wouldn't acquit her, wouldn't
- 14:12Speaker 4: find her not guilty. So, you know, now the judge,
- 14:17Speaker 4: now there's word that that juror may be removed.
- 14:19Speaker 3: But at this point, it's already a mistrial. It's too late.
- 14:22Speaker 2: So is there another trial? There can be.
- 14:26Speaker 5: Yeah, they have to decide if they want to prosecute
- 14:29Speaker 5: her again.
- 14:30Speaker 4: It is true, though, that because of the egregious nature
- 14:32Speaker 4: of the case, there is no way experts have said
- 14:36Speaker 4: that prosecutors are going to drop these charges.
- 14:37Speaker 3: They will take her to trial again.
- 14:39Speaker 2: They will. Yeah, I've never seen a case like this.
- 14:43Speaker 2: I think the most surprising thing is learning today what
- 14:45Speaker 2: Deb just said. Jack and I had no idea that
- 14:47Speaker 2: it was one holdout saying, oh, we think she's not guilty.
- 14:51Speaker 2: It was the other way around. So the majority of
- 14:53Speaker 2: the jury actually found her not guilty. Only one person
- 14:56Speaker 2: is saying they think she's inequivocally guilty. And the thing is,
- 14:59Speaker 2: I mean, she confessed. Yeah. No one's denying that she did.
- 15:03Speaker 3: No.
- 15:03Speaker 1: Correct.
- 15:04Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 15:04Speaker 2: What caused it?
- 15:05Speaker 4: I mean, even her former mother-in-law testified on her behalf,
- 15:08Speaker 4: saying the day before she this tragic event, she was
- 15:11Speaker 4: begging for help. So the jurors clearly are like, well,
- 15:15Speaker 4: the prosecution didn't show the malice that would be required
- 15:18Speaker 4: responsibly to do this crime.
- 15:20Speaker 3: And it's interesting.
- 15:22Speaker 4: It just goes to show you how the difference in
- 15:24Speaker 4: law between each state, because here in Florida, it'd be like,
- 15:26Speaker 4: all right, well, you don't have a unanimous jury.
- 15:28Speaker 3: You still have a majority decision. That should be good enough.
- 15:31Speaker 2: I was talking to my wife about it this morning,
- 15:32Speaker 2: and she's like, yeah, but she waited until the husband left.
- 15:35Speaker 2: I mean, how crazy can you be if you know
- 15:37Speaker 2: for a fact you're doing something wrong enough to wait
- 15:39Speaker 2: until your husband leaves to commit the crime?
- 15:41Speaker 4: And some other mental health experts have said that from
- 15:44Speaker 4: their understanding of postpartum psychosis, it would be rare for
- 15:50Speaker 4: the psychosis to last 18 minutes. And one prosecutor said
- 15:54Speaker 4: that that's one of the tactics they would try maybe
- 15:56Speaker 4: in the next trial is have the jurors sit through
- 15:59Speaker 4: 18 minutes of silence to see just how long 18
- 16:02Speaker 4: minutes really is.
- 16:05Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going to feel a long time.
- 16:08Speaker 4: Much longer than what it would feel like if you're
- 16:10Speaker 4: in the car and you're on your way somewhere else.
- 16:12Speaker 4: All right, an update on a local story that we covered. Unfortunately,
- 16:15Speaker 4: the woman accused of opening fire inside the Port Orange
- 16:18Speaker 4: Police Department lobby on Thursday morning has died.
- 16:22Speaker 2: Oh, really? Because she got shot as well, right?
- 16:24Speaker 4: She did get shot, and that's what her family has
- 16:26Speaker 4: told WESH2. 71-year-old Linda Jean Croteau was shot by officers
- 16:32Speaker 4: and transported to the hospital after she opened fire. Police
- 16:35Speaker 4: were saying they had no idea what the motive is.
- 16:38Speaker 4: Did she have a relationship with the Port Orange Police Department?
- 16:41Speaker 4: What's the issue? Well, her stepson told WESH2 that she'd
- 16:45Speaker 4: recently lost her husband and had been struggling.
- 16:47Speaker 2: Oh, man. It's so wild. Oh, I've lost my husband.
- 16:52Speaker 2: I'm struggling. I know what I should do. I should
- 16:54Speaker 2: go to the police department, open fire. Is that a
- 16:58Speaker 2: suicide by cop scenario maybe?
- 16:59Speaker 3: It could be.
- 17:00Speaker 4: Maybe he had a traffic ticket. Maybe there was something,
- 17:03Speaker 4: some interaction he had that caused him stress and she
- 17:07Speaker 4: kind of blamed him, kind of like what people do
- 17:09Speaker 4: if an insurance company denies their loved one's care.
- 17:12Speaker 2: Right, yeah.
- 17:12Speaker 4: All right, Labor Day travelers being told to get ready
- 17:16Speaker 4: for high costs and heavy traffic.
- 17:18Speaker 3: Doesn't that sound like a fun holiday weekend?
- 17:20Speaker 2: Happy holidays.
- 17:21Speaker 3: Yay, everybody enjoy.
- 17:22Speaker 4: AAA says round-trip airfare is going to cost you about
- 17:26Speaker 4: $ 750 on average, up 2% from last year. Hotel bookings
- 17:33Speaker 4: have also gone up 9% in the U.S. and 12% elsewhere.
- 17:37Speaker 2: Damn.
- 17:38Speaker 4: Labor Day is a week from Monday and AAA, or rather,
- 17:41Speaker 4: it's on Monday. AAA says the best time to head
- 17:43Speaker 4: to your destination really was last night.
- 17:45Speaker 3: The worst days for travel.
- 17:48Speaker 2: It was yesterday.
- 17:49Speaker 3: It was yesterday.
- 17:50Speaker 10: Sorry, folks.
- 17:50Speaker 3: You're SOL.
- 17:52Speaker 4: The worst days for traveler, of course, today, tomorrow, and
- 17:55Speaker 4: then Labor Day on Monday. And our truck drivers out there,
- 17:59Speaker 4: Kansas Trucker, we're thinking of you.
- 18:01Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, yeah.
- 18:01Speaker 2: It's going to be Verona there.
- 18:02Speaker 3: Yeah, anybody who's driving any kind of diesel vehicle.
- 18:05Speaker 2: Dude, I saw a semi-truck get cut off today, and
- 18:07Speaker 2: this guy swerved, and then the whole road started swerving. Dude,
- 18:11Speaker 2: he started wobbling a little bit. It looked like a
- 18:14Speaker 2: Decepticon drunk. I'm dead serious. Serious, man. I got scared.
- 18:19Speaker 3: Yeah, no, that's terrifying.
- 18:21Speaker 2: And even scarier than that is pulling into the gas
- 18:22Speaker 2: pump right now. Do I have to fill that up
- 18:24Speaker 2: with diesel at $ 6 a gallon?
- 18:25Speaker 4: Yeah, the national average price of diesel has reached an
- 18:28Speaker 4: all-time record high of $ 5. 85 per gallon. That's according to
- 18:33Speaker 4: fuel tracking data from GasBuddy.
- 18:35Speaker 2: I thought this war ended. What war?
- 18:38Speaker 3: It's not a war.
- 18:38Speaker 2: I thought the straight of her muse was open. Could
- 18:41Speaker 2: you imagine if this was unavoidable? Could you guys really?
- 18:45Speaker 2: Could you imagine if this whole situation would have been unavoidable?
- 18:47Speaker 4: Now, the new peak surpasses the previous record of 582
- 18:52Speaker 4: per gallon that was set back in June of 2022.
- 18:55Speaker 4: Diesel costs have surged more than $ 2 per gallon over
- 18:59Speaker 4: the past year, rising from $ 3. 70 per gallon in September 2020.
- 19:04Speaker 4: of 2025 it's weird to.
- 19:05Speaker 2: Say it's weird to hear that go those were the
- 19:08Speaker 2: days and those were the days was like eight months
- 19:10Speaker 2: ago right exactly those were the days like a year
- 19:14Speaker 2: ago i could almost see it yeah i know and
- 19:17Speaker 2: i there's just and that previous record what was that
- 19:19Speaker 2: 22 just throw this out here is that i felt
- 19:22Speaker 2: like there was a little bit more bitching back then
- 19:24Speaker 2: about those prices than i hear right now i i
- 19:28Speaker 2: Someone help me out here. I can't figure it out.
- 19:30Speaker 3: Nobody can figure it out.
- 19:31Speaker 2: Oh, maybe people got got.
- 19:33Speaker 5: Let's make America great again. Let's go back to January
- 19:36Speaker 5: of 2025. And listen, I don't want to.
- 19:38Speaker 2: Bash your boy out there. I get it. It's your boy.
- 19:41Speaker 2: But please acknowledge the fact that he's also falling asleep.
- 19:46Speaker 5: He's just resting up for later.
- 19:50Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. He's just closing. He's blinking. He's just blinking.
- 19:53Speaker 2: Long blinks. Long, slow blinks. All right.
- 19:55Speaker 4: Speaking of driving in the holiday, if you're heading over
- 19:57Speaker 4: to the beach, be aware that Volusia County is going
- 20:00Speaker 4: to restrict on-beach parking in high-traffic areas during Labor Day
- 20:04Speaker 4: weekend to enhance pedestrian safety. Nothing makes beachgoers happier than
- 20:08Speaker 4: telling them, nope.
- 20:09Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, nobody goes on Labor Day, though.
- 20:12Speaker 3: No, that's a good thing.
- 20:14Speaker 4: So from Saturday through Monday, a temporary adjustment will be
- 20:18Speaker 4: applied to on-beach parking adjacent to select parks. It's like
- 20:21Speaker 4: five parks overall. Vehicles can still drive through, according to
- 20:25Speaker 4: Volusia County officials. Now, Volusia County offers more than 60
- 20:29Speaker 4: off-beach parking lots with over 2,000 extra spaces.
- 20:32Speaker 2: There you go.
- 20:33Speaker 3: And it's not going to matter. Every single one of
- 20:35Speaker 3: them is going to be done full up.
- 20:37Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 20:37Speaker 2: All right.
- 20:38Speaker 4: This next story is also out of Volusia County. I
- 20:40Speaker 4: think it's kind of cool. And it also kind of
- 20:42Speaker 4: makes you think, yeah, makes sense if you're the shark
- 20:45Speaker 4: bite capital of the world. There are Volusia County emergency
- 20:48Speaker 4: medical services. They're getting ready to launch a program that
- 20:51Speaker 4: will allow crews to administer pre-hospital blood transfusions to patients
- 20:57Speaker 4: with severe blood loss before they reach the hospitals.
- 21:00Speaker 3: Isn't that kind of freaky?
- 21:01Speaker 2: So that means in the ambulance or whatever? I don't understand.
- 21:04Speaker 3: Potentially right there on the beach in the ambulance. Yeah, exactly.
- 21:08Speaker 4: So the implementation of the new capability is anticipated in
- 21:12Speaker 4: the coming weeks. EMS personnel participating in simulation training to
- 21:17Speaker 4: prepare for the program, practicing identifying eligible patients, preparing blood products,
- 21:22Speaker 4: and administering whole blood transfusions in simulated emergencies. They say
- 21:27Speaker 4: by them being able to give you a pre-hospital transfusion–
- 21:30Speaker 4: They can start that treatment while you're on your way
- 21:33Speaker 4: to the hospital rather than bleeding out and then waiting
- 21:36Speaker 4: until you get to the hospital.
- 21:37Speaker 3: Which is good to know if you ever get bit
- 21:39Speaker 3: by a shark.
- 21:39Speaker 2: It's very cool. It is. It's actually great news. So
- 21:42Speaker 2: that's just like in the car, in the truck? In
- 21:45Speaker 2: the ambulance, yeah. That's just going to look real bad
- 21:48Speaker 2: if you get into a fender bender. Oh, God. It's
- 21:53Speaker 2: just blood. That doesn't help. Just call another one for
- 21:55Speaker 2: the ambulance driver. I got into a car accident and
- 21:59Speaker 2: now my truck is bleeding.
- 22:01Speaker 4: All right. Another story that we had covered earlier this week.
- 22:06Speaker 4: Here's an update, too, of Altamont Springs' most beloved and
- 22:09Speaker 4: longstanding traditions, Red Hot and Boom and the City Library.
- 22:12Speaker 4: We're both on the chopping block as the city commission
- 22:15Speaker 4: met for a budget hearing last night. Both could disappear
- 22:18Speaker 4: under Amendment 3 if that is passed later on this
- 22:21Speaker 4: year by Florida voters.
- 22:22Speaker 3: But Red Hot and.
- 22:23Speaker 4: Boom, Central Florida's largest annual firework show, remains under consideration
- 22:28Speaker 4: for cancellation. Us having to put this up is getting
- 22:31Speaker 4: close to a million dollars a year. But it was
- 22:34Speaker 4: the city library, yay, that had the community's overwhelming support.
- 22:39Speaker 4: The library was nearly closed in 2024, but public outcry
- 22:42Speaker 4: then caused city officials to reconsider. And they did again
- 22:46Speaker 4: last night, eventually voting to raise the millage rate, generating
- 22:50Speaker 4: enough money to keep the library open until at least
- 22:53Speaker 4: September 30th, 2027.
- 22:54Speaker 3: I mean, if you're going.
- 22:56Speaker 2: To choose between the library and a fireworks show, you
- 22:59Speaker 2: have to choose the library. I mean, they can serve
- 23:01Speaker 2: the community every day of the week.
- 23:02Speaker 3: Absolutely.
- 23:03Speaker 4: I mean, that's homeschooling space, that space for seniors to
- 23:08Speaker 4: go and get their internet service.
- 23:09Speaker 2: And I can't apply that to a pop-up. The real
- 23:11Speaker 2: fireworks is education, Jim. I agree.
- 23:14Speaker 7: It is.
- 23:14Speaker 1: Wow.
- 23:15Speaker 2: Right, right, right. Oh, that's so cool. And Ross, will
- 23:18Speaker 2: you be my fireworks? That was a model rocket. Don't
- 23:24Speaker 2: do that again.
- 23:24Speaker 3: Don't ever do that again. These mics are too good
- 23:28Speaker 3: to do that.
- 23:29Speaker 2: All right.
- 23:30Speaker 3: This is from the Orlando Sentinel.
- 23:32Speaker 4: Steve Spurrier, Florida Field, will prominently feature the cryptocurrency XRP.
- 23:38Speaker 12: Yes!
- 23:39Speaker 3: Beginning tomorrow. Do you hear this?
- 23:42Speaker 2: I know I have XRP. I bought it like 10
- 23:44Speaker 2: years ago.
- 23:45Speaker 4: Yeah, well, this this is according to this. So it's
- 23:48Speaker 4: going to begin tomorrow night against Florida Atlantic under U.S.
- 23:51Speaker 4: Athletic Department. They signed a multi-year deal with Ripple to
- 23:55Speaker 4: display the logo on the Gators playing surface. Ripple, of course,
- 23:59Speaker 4: the leading provider of blockchain solutions. across traditional and digital finance.
- 24:03Speaker 4: I hope you understood what I just said because I
- 24:05Speaker 4: have no clue. I can't think of a better spokesperson
- 24:07Speaker 4: for that than old ball coach. I like to drink Ripple.
- 24:12Speaker 2: Spurrier is like, what am I doing here? Cryptocurrency.
- 24:17Speaker 4: As part of the agreement, the XRP logo will appear
- 24:20Speaker 4: on each 25-yard line when John Sumrall's Gators open the
- 24:25Speaker 4: 2026 season against FAU. Again, that is tomorrow night. The
- 24:29Speaker 4: deal will be worth $ 5 million a year. That is
- 24:32Speaker 4: among the largest in college sports.
- 24:34Speaker 2: I love crypto. I take it twice a day with food.
- 24:37Speaker 2: It's just like a rule and law of the land.
- 24:39Speaker 2: If you wear a visor, you don't understand blockchain technology.
- 24:43Speaker 2: That's whether you are an old accountant. It's just in
- 24:47Speaker 2: the law. Or a female golfer.
- 24:50Speaker 13: All right.
- 24:50Speaker 4: A proposal to give Miami a little Vice City makeover
- 24:54Speaker 4: is getting some pushback from local leaders saying, Miami-Dade County
- 24:57Speaker 4: officials have been talking with Rockstar Games about ways to
- 25:00Speaker 4: promote the November release of Grand Theft Auto 6, which
- 25:03Speaker 4: is set in what they call a fictional version of Miami.
- 25:06Speaker 3: Have they seen the game? It literally looks like a
- 25:09Speaker 3: map of Miami.
- 25:10Speaker 2: Why do you have to promote something that people have
- 25:11Speaker 2: been literally sitting on the edge of their chair for
- 25:14Speaker 2: for 12 years? You don't have to promote that. They're
- 25:16Speaker 2: dying to get it. They want that extra billion.
- 25:19Speaker 3: Exactly.
- 25:20Speaker 4: The fictional version of Miami, of course, called Vice City
- 25:22Speaker 4: in the Game. One proposal would temporarily rebrand Miami International
- 25:27Speaker 4: Airport as Vice City Airport. However, Commissioner Juan Carlos Bermudez
- 25:32Speaker 4: and Sheriff Rosie Cordero Stutz are calling on the county
- 25:35Speaker 4: to reconsider the idea, calling it, quote, appalling.
- 25:39Speaker 3: End quote, and a step backwards for Miami.
- 25:42Speaker 4: They don't want to go back to the say hello
- 25:45Speaker 4: to my little friend days.
- 25:46Speaker 5: It's the same word, the same reasoning that they did
- 25:50Speaker 5: not pass Born to Run as the official song for
- 25:52Speaker 5: New Jersey.
- 25:54Speaker 11: Really?
- 25:54Speaker 5: Because the content, because Born to Run is about escaping,
- 25:58Speaker 5: getting the hell out of here.
- 25:59Speaker 2: Oh, that's true. Yeah, so it's like, we really want
- 26:03Speaker 2: a song about escape? It is wild that Miami's pissed
- 26:06Speaker 2: because don't they cut people in half with chainsaws down there?
- 26:10Speaker 2: I don't understand this take at all. You got to
- 26:12Speaker 2: lean into this. This is a once in a city
- 26:15Speaker 2: lifetime opportunity. Yeah. To give you an idea of how
- 26:19Speaker 2: big and how international GTA 6 is, when England, the
- 26:23Speaker 2: men's national team, went to Florida and they had a
- 26:26Speaker 2: preseason before the World Cup, all of the marketing was
- 26:29Speaker 2: GTA 6. Oh, wow.
- 26:32Speaker 3: For England.
- 26:33Speaker 2: The soccer team for England. That's funny. They just used
- 26:37Speaker 2: GTA 6 marketing and font for their Florida stop.
- 26:40Speaker 3: Wow. That is so cool. All right.
- 26:43Speaker 2: Miami, lean into it. I know. I know what happens
- 26:45Speaker 2: in your bathrooms. All right. Talking about your bachelor party again?
- 26:50Speaker 2: It's a symphony.
- 26:53Speaker 4: We can't even discuss the musical notes in that symphony either, man.
- 26:56Speaker 3: Moving on.
- 26:58Speaker 4: The Orange County Sheriff's Office has something that I desperately want.
- 27:01Speaker 2: Okay. Yes.
- 27:03Speaker 4: Their deputies are turning to a new piece of technology
- 27:06Speaker 4: to end dangerous vehicle pursuits. A bumper-mounted device called the grappler.
- 27:12Speaker 2: Oh, I love it. I've seen this. I've seen this
- 27:14Speaker 2: thing work. It shoots a harpoon into the car.
- 27:18Speaker 9: Yes!
- 27:18Speaker 2: It literally shoots a blanking. I almost said the F
- 27:20Speaker 2: word there. It literally shoots a harpoon into the car
- 27:24Speaker 2: with barbs, and they basically reel it in like a fish.
- 27:27Speaker 5: Casey, stay alert back there. I think it's like hooks
- 27:30Speaker 5: that go underneath, right?
- 27:31Speaker 2: And it gets the axle.
- 27:32Speaker 4: So officials say the tool has already helped capture how
- 27:35Speaker 4: many suspects? Don't do too cray-cray, but these are suspects
- 27:38Speaker 4: who tried to evade law in 42.
- 27:40Speaker 2: I said 40. 22. Well, let's count it off. You
- 27:43Speaker 2: have the Joker. Sandman. Penguin.
- 27:48Speaker 5: Penguin.
- 27:48Speaker 2: Who's this for? Riddler. I'll go 50. Let's go 50.
- 27:52Speaker 3: 30 suspects.
- 27:53Speaker 2: All right.
- 27:54Speaker 4: 30 suspects who tried to evade law enforcement. Now, for
- 27:57Speaker 4: those who don't know, the grappler is mounted to the
- 27:59Speaker 4: front of a patrol car. Oh, I want this so bad.
- 28:02Speaker 4: When activated, it latches onto the rear wheel of a
- 28:05Speaker 4: fleeing vehicle and connects it to the front of the
- 28:07Speaker 4: deputy's cruiser, forcing the suspect's car to stop. The grappler
- 28:10Speaker 4: is designed as a safer alternative to methods like stop
- 28:13Speaker 4: six and the pit, which I've always wanted to know
- 28:16Speaker 4: what that stood for. The precision immobilization technique maneuver, which
- 28:19Speaker 4: can sometimes lead to high speed crashes or loss of
- 28:22Speaker 4: vehicle control. I mean, The pit maneuver is all about
- 28:25Speaker 4: making you lose control.
- 28:26Speaker 2: Yeah, but the pit is also fun because, as a rule,
- 28:29Speaker 2: people who steal cars don't wear their seatbelts, and the
- 28:32Speaker 2: pit maneuver allows them to get slung in the air
- 28:34Speaker 2: about 40 feet, which is fun. As they start tumbling,
- 28:37Speaker 2: he just slings them at her like a pumpkin chunking.
- 28:39Speaker 3: A pumpkin chunking with your grappler.
- 28:41Speaker 2: So this is a real twisted metal move right here, right?
- 28:44Speaker 3: They're using it right now.
- 28:46Speaker 2: I have the wrong ones. What it looks like is this.
- 28:48Speaker 2: It looks like a net. So you pull up underneath,
- 28:50Speaker 2: and it runs it up under your car. Your tires
- 28:52Speaker 2: catch it, and it wheels your tires up into this net,
- 28:55Speaker 2: and it won't go. But I've seen one where they
- 28:58Speaker 2: literally shoot a harpoon, though, into your trunk. It's pretty badass. Well,
- 29:00Speaker 2: this is awesome that Wayne technology came through for us. Yeah, exactly.
- 29:04Speaker 5: Shout out.
- 29:05Speaker 2: Thank you, Bruce. Finally, a good billionaire.
- 29:08Speaker 4: And then finally, winner, winner, chicken purse. Have you guys
- 29:12Speaker 4: heard about Walmart getting its hands on a new viral trend?
- 29:17Speaker 4: The rotisserie chicken purse.
- 29:20Speaker 2: Okay.
- 29:21Speaker 3: This is not a joke.
- 29:22Speaker 2: Keep explaining.
- 29:23Speaker 4: The retail giant began selling a purse modeled after its
- 29:26Speaker 4: popular rotisserie chicken. Literally looks like the packaging of Walmart
- 29:30Speaker 4: rotisserie chicken.
- 29:31Speaker 2: So it's the box, like the little box. Yep, yep.
- 29:35Speaker 4: It started selling them on Tuesday morning with the initial
- 29:39Speaker 4: supply of the limited.
- 29:40Speaker 3: edition.
- 29:40Speaker 4: They sold also for the same price as Walmart's rotisserie chicken.
- 29:44Speaker 4: Which is like six bucks?
- 29:47Speaker 7: $ 5.
- 29:47Speaker 8: 97.
- 29:47Speaker 4: They sold out within hours on sparkshot.com. So of course-
- 29:51Speaker 4: Purses began showing up on resale sites like eBay and
- 29:54Speaker 4: others with prices.
- 29:56Speaker 3: From $ 40 to $ 80.
- 29:57Speaker 4: You do get some chicken-themed charms, though. Walmart, the good news,
- 30:02Speaker 4: has another allocation coming out on Tuesday, September 8th.
- 30:08Speaker 2: I want a chicken purse. I think I'm going to
- 30:11Speaker 2: buy my wife one of these things.
- 30:12Speaker 3: It's available in two flavors.
- 30:14Speaker 2: You're just hungry.
- 30:15Speaker 3: Two flavors, traditional and lemon pepper, each for $ 5.
- 30:17Speaker 7: 97 each.
- 30:19Speaker 4: Again, matching the everyday price of Walmart's iconic rotisserie chicken
- 30:23Speaker 4: with limited edition rotisserie chicken coordinating bag charms like hot
- 30:28Speaker 4: sauce and stuff like that. And that, gentlemen, concludes your
- 30:32Speaker 4: JCS News.
- 30:34Speaker 10: Dittery!
- 30:34Speaker 2: I want mojito! Alright, 407-916-1041, text us, 77031, sink or sail,
- 30:38Speaker 2: and embers only next. Hang loose. You're going to get
- 30:51Speaker 2: a kick out of this. News Junkie went over it.
- 30:53Speaker 2: Apparently the White House now has an arcade on their
- 30:56Speaker 2: website and all the games appear to be freedom themed
- 31:01Speaker 2: and ice themed.
- 31:02Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 31:02Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 31:03Speaker 2: You might want to go check it out. No, I
- 31:04Speaker 2: saw it. All right, welcome back to the Jim Colbert Show,
- 31:10Speaker 2: Real Radio 104.1. We are broadcasting live from Universal Orlando
- 31:14Speaker 2: Resort and Halloween Horror Nights. How about this? The world's
- 31:20Speaker 2: premiere Halloween experience.
- 31:22Speaker 3: They started it before anyone.
- 31:23Speaker 2: Yeah, broadcasting live right here from the studio. So much fun.
- 31:25Speaker 2: Welcome back. I'm Jim. There's Deb. Hello.
- 31:27Speaker 10: Jack.
- 31:28Speaker 2: Yep. And Ross is here as well. Believe in yourself.
- 31:30Speaker 2: This young man actually has been very persistent to be
- 31:32Speaker 2: with us and kind of hang out and talk about
- 31:34Speaker 2: what's going on. He actually works here at Universal Studios.
- 31:36Speaker 2: You guys give it up. Good night for Remy.
- 31:37Speaker 3: Yay!
- 31:38Speaker 2: What's up, dude? How you doing, man? What's up, crew?
- 31:42Speaker 2: How you guys doing? Doing good, doing good. I know
- 31:43Speaker 2: that you said you have some things for Halloween Horror Nights.
- 31:46Speaker 2: Ross has already been through all the houses and whatnot.
- 31:50Speaker 2: Let's see what we disagree on. Because that's honestly one
- 31:53Speaker 2: of the most fun parts, fun experiences with Horror Nights.
- 31:58Speaker 2: What'd you like more?
- 31:59Speaker 5: Yeah, is ranking the houses? No, Hellraiser's better. Have you
- 32:03Speaker 5: been through it?
- 32:03Speaker 8: I've been to a couple of them, but, I mean,
- 32:06Speaker 8: there's a few that I have missed out. And I'm like,
- 32:08Speaker 8: it's not worth it.
- 32:09Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They're all worth it. What
- 32:12Speaker 2: are you talking about? I've tiddled on every house, man.
- 32:16Speaker 8: I mean, there's one house specifically that I love the most.
- 32:20Speaker 2: I had to do Jack and Oddfellows back-to-back. I had to.
- 32:23Speaker 2: It was that good of a house. And the Jack
- 32:25Speaker 2: and Oddfellows house, Jim, is literally made for the fans. Oh,
- 32:30Speaker 2: is it really? If you enjoy the lore of Halloween
- 32:33Speaker 2: Horror Nights, like the famous in-house characters that Universal has
- 32:37Speaker 2: made over the years... It's a celebration of Jack and Oddfellow.
- 32:41Speaker 2: Very cool. It's like Halloween, but with Christmas vibes because
- 32:45Speaker 2: it's a gift. Yeah, man. All right. So, buddy, you're
- 32:47Speaker 2: out and around. What do you see out there? What's fun? Well,
- 32:49Speaker 2: the best thing, I love the food. The food is
- 32:52Speaker 2: unreal this year. Yeah, we've heard that. So good. Sinners,
- 32:55Speaker 2: you got the... You like catfish?
- 32:58Speaker 7: I do.
- 32:58Speaker 2: Boy. Sorry. I don't even know if you meant to
- 33:04Speaker 2: make that joke, but yes, I do like catfish. So
- 33:06Speaker 2: they have a catfish and grits, and it's $ 12. For
- 33:09Speaker 2: catfish and grits? Catfish and grits for $ 12. Damn, that's
- 33:12Speaker 2: kind of great. I mean, aren't I just catfish and grits?
- 33:14Speaker 2: And it's catfish and grits because I believe it's themed
- 33:17Speaker 2: after the movie Sinner, right? It's our main dish. That
- 33:20Speaker 2: deep south catfish. Yeah, for sure. Whiskers right through the hand.
- 33:24Speaker 7: Easy.
- 33:26Speaker 2: You also have the Stranger Things signature dish, which is
- 33:29Speaker 2: the Elle's Battery Jerky. Okay.
- 33:32Speaker 8: Okay, so this one, it's $ 18. It's 18 bucks for
- 33:38Speaker 8: this entire dish. Mac and cheese, garlic bread, jerky.
- 33:43Speaker 2: And that's it. What kind of jerky? Yeah, that's what
- 33:45Speaker 2: I want to know. Battery jerky? I don't know what
- 33:48Speaker 2: battery jerky is. It's a spice jerky. Oh, yeah, it's
- 33:50Speaker 2: a spice jerky. Very nice. It's pretty good. Yeah, yeah.
- 33:52Speaker 2: Any of the cocktails worth a damn? Cocktails? Okay, Jimmy,
- 33:55Speaker 2: there's one cocktail I have on here for you that.
- 33:58Speaker 3: Let's see.
- 33:58Speaker 2: That Circus Peanut cocktail. Have you heard about the Circus
- 34:03Speaker 2: Peanut cocktail? I don't want it. Okay, very nice. I
- 34:05Speaker 2: don't want it. I told you.
- 34:07Speaker 10: Bye-bye.
- 34:08Speaker 2: There are weak people. I called it. All right, so, Jimmy,
- 34:13Speaker 2: this one's for you. Okay. You love whiskey. I do
- 34:15Speaker 2: love whiskey. This is from Sinners. Okay. It's called the
- 34:19Speaker 2: Slide Guitar Smash. The Slide Guitar Smash. What's in that?
- 34:23Speaker 2: Your whiskey.
- 34:24Speaker 1: Okay.
- 34:24Speaker 2: Lemon. Ginger. Ginger. Simple syrup and mint. Man, that sounds great.
- 34:28Speaker 2: Almost sounds like a julep a little bit. Yeah, a
- 34:29Speaker 2: little bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I believe the rim
- 34:32Speaker 2: is salted with guitar string. Is it really?
- 34:34Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah.
- 34:34Speaker 2: So if you taste metal, it's not a stroke. No, no,
- 34:37Speaker 2: it's not salted with a guitar string. But isn't it
- 34:40Speaker 2: just so cool that movies that not only you get
- 34:43Speaker 2: to go through the house, but you get to digest
- 34:46Speaker 2: a part of the universe that the movie is from? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 34:51Speaker 2: What else you got there, buddy? Well, let's see.
- 34:53Speaker 8: Besides that, so apparently all the drinks here is going
- 34:56Speaker 8: to cost you roughly between $ 20 to $ 15.
- 34:58Speaker 1: Okay.
- 34:58Speaker 2: $ 15, $ 20. Because most of these drinks, you can get refills,
- 35:02Speaker 2: and right now they have mocktails. Oh, yeah. That's cool.
- 35:05Speaker 8: It's really cool that some people who do not like alcohol,
- 35:08Speaker 8: mocktails are a perfect spot for that.
- 35:10Speaker 2: Yeah, sure thing. Absolutely.
- 35:12Speaker 5: Because, well, you feel like, and my wife goes through
- 35:15Speaker 5: this as well, it's like, okay, Diet Coke, you know?
- 35:17Speaker 3: Right, yeah.
- 35:18Speaker 2: But at least she.
- 35:19Speaker 5: Can kind of take part in- the culture and experience
- 35:22Speaker 5: of a movie without having the alcohol associated with it.
- 35:26Speaker 2: So that's a nice offering, I think.
- 35:28Speaker 3: It is a good option.
- 35:29Speaker 2: And it's also a way for them to get a
- 35:30Speaker 2: lot more.
- 35:31Speaker 5: Money than over just another Diet Coke.
- 35:33Speaker 2: How about the scare zones? Have you seen any of
- 35:35Speaker 2: the scare zones out there? Well, we're in one right now.
- 35:37Speaker 8: This is Decay, which you see the caretaker. You see Sidney.
- 35:41Speaker 2: Sidney is back. All these fans love Sidney. What is Sidney? Sidney,
- 35:46Speaker 2: I believe, is the daughter of the gravedigger. The gravedigger, yeah.
- 35:51Speaker 2: And that's what I mean by the lore of Halloween
- 35:53Speaker 2: Horror Nights. I know not everybody knows that. But if
- 35:57Speaker 2: you just start, it's addicting. And then you start– you
- 36:00Speaker 2: want to know the origin of all these in-house universal
- 36:03Speaker 2: monsters that they've created over the last couple of decades.
- 36:05Speaker 4: The other thing I found out– sorry, Remy– is that
- 36:08Speaker 4: each house has its own dedicated merch.
- 36:11Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
- 36:11Speaker 4: So if you're a really big Sinners fan, you can
- 36:14Speaker 4: stop by the merch shop.
- 36:16Speaker 3: Like you said, Jack, just brilliance there.
- 36:18Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 36:19Speaker 3: Business brilliant.
- 36:20Speaker 5: Yeah, our buddy Josh Fowler walking around with the crazy
- 36:23Speaker 5: train t-shirt today.
- 36:24Speaker 2: There you go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was his favorite house.
- 36:27Speaker 2: Ross hated it. I did not hate it. The rest
- 36:29Speaker 2: of the world loves it. Nope, did not hate it.
- 36:31Speaker 2: I don't want those words. Matter of fact, he left early.
- 36:34Speaker 2: Did not.
- 36:34Speaker 6: Oh, Ross.
- 36:36Speaker 2: I would like to point out, and I didn't want
- 36:38Speaker 2: to bring this up, but I'm literally the only person
- 36:40Speaker 2: who's gone through all the houses here. So how about
- 36:43Speaker 2: you put some respect on my name? I will leave then.
- 36:46Speaker 3: All right.
- 36:46Speaker 2: Well, here's my question for you, Remy. All right. This
- 36:49Speaker 2: is always a room divider, and if there's one thing
- 36:51Speaker 2: that I would love for Jim to eat, it's a
- 36:54Speaker 2: death by cheese stick. Get it, get it. You don't
- 36:57Speaker 2: know about death by cheese stick. I've not heard of it.
- 37:00Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. You thought that cigar was big. Fill
- 37:03Speaker 2: me in with the death by cheese stick, Remy. Okay,
- 37:05Speaker 2: do you want a 12-inch cheese stick, a mozzarella cheese stick?
- 37:08Speaker 3: I'm going to turn off my own microphone.
- 37:12Speaker 2: Deb, stop tickling the cheese stick. It is that. Credit
- 37:16Speaker 2: to dad for knowing your limitations. It is that intense.
- 37:20Speaker 2: Grab your cigar. I'll fight you with this cheese stick.
- 37:24Speaker 2: It's a foot long cheese stick. Jeez Louise. And it's awesome.
- 37:27Speaker 2: It's so cool. Is it really? It's intense. Is it really?
- 37:30Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 37:31Speaker 10: Wow.
- 37:31Speaker 2: It's large intestine shaped.
- 37:33Speaker 7: Pretty much.
- 37:34Speaker 2: It's a perfect puzzle piece that just fits right there.
- 37:37Speaker 2: Did they really make it look like a large intestine?
- 37:39Speaker 3: Dude, no.
- 37:39Speaker 2: It's just a foot long deep fried piece of cheese.
- 37:43Speaker 2: Deep fried, yeah. Okay, very good.
- 37:44Speaker 3: Your intestines are going to be moving for a while.
- 37:47Speaker 5: If you're hoping your cholesterol would bust 300, that's the
- 37:50Speaker 5: tool to get you there.
- 37:51Speaker 3: Good to have a goal.
- 37:52Speaker 2: Pile on. What else you got for us, buddy?
- 37:54Speaker 8: So the one thing I do like on here is
- 37:57Speaker 8: what Ross liked. I mean, I like, I love the house.
- 38:00Speaker 8: It's the Ozzy Osbourne house.
- 38:01Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
- 38:01Speaker 8: But there's a drink there that people are... raving for
- 38:05Speaker 8: and my buddy he actually let me grab a little
- 38:07Speaker 8: taste of it i want more of this because i
- 38:10Speaker 8: love tequila it's uh it's called black rain black rain
- 38:14Speaker 8: it's a tequila port wine cold brew And agave.
- 38:20Speaker 2: Really?
- 38:21Speaker 3: Damn.
- 38:21Speaker 2: Damn, really? Listen. Ross, that has your name on it. Yeah,
- 38:25Speaker 2: I'm about it. I love tequila. I love agave. I
- 38:27Speaker 2: love coffee. Yeah, let's do it. Can we leave? Port wine.
- 38:30Speaker 2: Let's go. Port wine couldn't hurt. Port wine, make my
- 38:33Speaker 2: credit score go up. I don't even know what port
- 38:36Speaker 2: wine is. Isn't that like dessert wine? Sweet wine, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 38:38Speaker 2: Sweet wine, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 38:40Speaker 8: We got the, of course, we got the Maniac Mix,
- 38:43Speaker 8: which is the Jax Mix, and we also have the
- 38:46Speaker 8: Oddfellas Elixir.
- 38:47Speaker 2: These are... The brand-new cans of their new drinks. Yeah,
- 38:51Speaker 2: they had this last year. They had these canned drinks
- 38:53Speaker 2: that were like giant cocktail drinks, and they were a
- 38:55Speaker 2: little expensive. But when you started drinking them, you realize
- 38:58Speaker 2: you're getting like literally 20, 24 ounces of whatever is
- 39:01Speaker 2: in there, and it actually didn't turn out to be
- 39:03Speaker 2: that bad of a deal. It will hit you by
- 39:05Speaker 2: the next house you go to.
- 39:07Speaker 3: Oh, perfect timing.
- 39:08Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 39:09Speaker 2: Also, throwing this out here, some of the best advice
- 39:11Speaker 2: that has come across my desk for today's broadcast is
- 39:14Speaker 2: what Hard Rock Cafe is doing for Halloween Horror Nights.
- 39:18Speaker 2: I'm going to say this only once, and I want
- 39:19Speaker 2: everyone to soak it in. For $ 10 for Universal Orlando
- 39:23Speaker 2: annual pass holders and team members, $ 10 drinks. You're talking
- 39:27Speaker 2: about Clown Town Banana Cream Pie. You're talking about Lament Punch.
- 39:30Speaker 2: You're talking about Take Me to Your Leader. For $ 10?
- 39:33Speaker 2: For $ 10. And this is where I'm going with this.
- 39:35Speaker 2: Only going to say it once. They have a drink
- 39:37Speaker 2: that is just $ 5 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
- 39:43Speaker 2: on Halloween Horror Night event nights. You better hurry. And
- 39:47Speaker 2: it's called The Fog. The Fog. That is the only
- 39:50Speaker 2: $ 5 drink I have ever heard of in a theme park. Yeah, yeah.
- 39:54Speaker 2: I got to tell you something else, too. They brought
- 39:56Speaker 2: lunch today, and their smash burgers are absolutely insane.
- 39:59Speaker 3: That's why they call it legendary.
- 40:01Speaker 2: I swear to God, I think they make their pickles in-house.
- 40:03Speaker 2: They were so good. It was incredible. That's a good
- 40:05Speaker 2: heads up, by the way. I thought only God did that.
- 40:07Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah.
- 40:07Speaker 11: Me, too.
- 40:08Speaker 2: What else do you have first, buddy? So, I mean,
- 40:11Speaker 2: pretty much all your drinks there, but the one drink
- 40:13Speaker 2: I did like was the... The canned carnival, it's actually
- 40:17Speaker 2: a sour. It's a sour, like a beer, like a
- 40:19Speaker 2: sour beer. I love it. Yeah, yeah, real good. The
- 40:21Speaker 2: flavors are strawberry, raspberry, lime, and sour ale. That's it.
- 40:25Speaker 2: Are you a haunted house guy? Does your girl like
- 40:26Speaker 2: haunted houses?
- 40:27Speaker 8: So Jen will never go into a haunted house. Last year,
- 40:30Speaker 8: I took her to that house, and she hates clowns.
- 40:33Speaker 8: She hates clowns with a passion.
- 40:35Speaker 2: Right, yeah, yeah. She tore up my Orlando Magic shirt,
- 40:39Speaker 2: and I'm like, I found a big hole. I'm like, honey.
- 40:41Speaker 2: Because she was pulling on you to stay close to
- 40:43Speaker 2: you for safety? She was scared. She was just out
- 40:46Speaker 2: of it. Or she's just mad. Yeah, she got home.
- 40:48Speaker 2: She was mad. She got the scissors and said, I'm
- 40:51Speaker 2: going to cut up the thing he loves the most.
- 40:52Speaker 2: I'm sending a message.
- 40:54Speaker 8: But to answer your question, I do love the houses.
- 40:56Speaker 8: Every year, this is my... My safe spot. I love
- 41:00Speaker 8: coming to Halloween Horror Nights. It's perfect for me. Of course,
- 41:03Speaker 8: I go into Mardi Gras, but we're not there yet. Yeah,
- 41:06Speaker 8: not quite there yet.
- 41:06Speaker 2: That's spring.
- 41:07Speaker 3: That'll be tomorrow.
- 41:08Speaker 2: There you go. Right, it'll be before you know it. Exactly.
- 41:10Speaker 2: The houses this year are just unreal. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 41:13Speaker 8: The first house I went to was Jack and I fell.
- 41:15Speaker 8: Then Cyber Gorya. This one, I did not like it.
- 41:19Speaker 8: Didn't like the Cyber Gorya one? Nobody's really talking about
- 41:22Speaker 8: that one, really. Cyber Gorya is a... You're facing off
- 41:25Speaker 8: these machines, these horror machines....
- 41:30Speaker 2: There ain't enough scare. I didn't like it. So with Cybergoria,
- 41:34Speaker 2: and I have nominated as Hellraiser as being the darkest
- 41:38Speaker 2: R-rated house I think I've ever walked through. But a
- 41:40Speaker 2: lot of people walked out of Cybergoria and thinking that's
- 41:44Speaker 2: the bloodiest house I have ever seen. And I do
- 41:48Speaker 2: not agree with that sentiment. I'm with Remy kind of
- 41:50Speaker 2: on that one. I think it's a good house. But Hellraiser, like,
- 41:54Speaker 2: I went to church the next day. I was like,
- 41:56Speaker 2: I got to prevent whatever that scenario is in my future.
- 42:00Speaker 2: I cannot go to hell. Last thing, buddy? So, actually,
- 42:04Speaker 2: that's all I got. That's all I got. All right, man. Well,
- 42:06Speaker 2: it's going to be a good time out there. Remy,
- 42:07Speaker 2: I appreciate it so much, buddy, dropping by and saying
- 42:09Speaker 2: hey to us, man. Thank you so much. As always.
- 42:10Speaker 2: You guys give it up. Good luck, Remy.
- 42:11Speaker 7: Yeah!
- 42:14Speaker 2: Hey, we're going to do a topic when we get
- 42:16Speaker 2: back and have some fun. But Emily, the movie girl,
- 42:18Speaker 2: dropped by. What? And so we'll have Emily and hang
- 42:20Speaker 2: out for the next segment. Back in a sec. Welcome
- 42:31Speaker 2: back to the Jim Colbert Show, Roll Radio 104.1. We
- 42:33Speaker 2: are broadcasting live from Universal Orlando Resort, celebrating 35 years
- 42:38Speaker 2: of Halloween Horror Nights. Man, what an amazing opportunity it
- 42:43Speaker 2: is to broadcast from this place. It's so much fun.
- 42:45Speaker 2: We get to watch everybody kind of walk by. We'll
- 42:47Speaker 2: watch Halloween Horror Nights come to life. As it starts
- 42:50Speaker 2: around 630, you'll see the people start steaming through, the
- 42:53Speaker 2: fog machines will start going, and the entire park will
- 42:56Speaker 2: change personalities in a really short period of time. I
- 42:59Speaker 2: have to tell you, that really, to me, the logistics
- 43:02Speaker 2: of turning the park back from Universal Studios Orlando into
- 43:06Speaker 2: Halloween Horror Nights is one of the most amazing things.
- 43:09Speaker 2: Because it happens like almost in a snap of the fingers.
- 43:12Speaker 2: Next thing you know, you dive into a place to
- 43:13Speaker 2: get something to eat. You come back out. You're in
- 43:14Speaker 2: a totally different place altogether. Absolutely.
- 43:16Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 43:17Speaker 5: And so that's why Universal Studios, they close during Halloween
- 43:20Speaker 5: Horror Nights at 5.
- 43:21Speaker 2: Right.
- 43:22Speaker 5: And gives them time to turn it over. Unless the
- 43:24Speaker 5: people who can stay in the park are people who
- 43:26Speaker 5: had park passes and also have HHN passes.
- 43:30Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
- 43:30Speaker 5: And you get banded and then you're actually in the
- 43:32Speaker 5: park for the 90 minutes.
- 43:33Speaker 2: It's technically closed. Yeah, very cool. For sure. Welcome back.
- 43:36Speaker 2: I'm Jim. There's Deb. Deb. Jack is here as well.
- 43:39Speaker 2: And so is Ross. Believe in yourself. And believe it
- 43:41Speaker 2: or not, Emily in the Movie Girl stopped by for
- 43:43Speaker 2: a little bit. Hey!
- 43:46Speaker 10: Hi, guys.
- 43:47Speaker 2: What are you doing?
- 43:48Speaker 12: Oh, you know, just strolling down Hollywood Boulevard.
- 43:51Speaker 6: And I was like, my friends are in there.
- 43:53Speaker 2: And she brought her friend Jordan. Of course, that's your
- 43:57Speaker 2: partner in crime at your podcast.
- 43:59Speaker 1: Yes, yes.
- 44:00Speaker 6: She's just outside here with her fiancé, Justin.
- 44:02Speaker 12: But they help out with my podcast and... They love
- 44:06Speaker 12: listening to you guys, too, and all your hot takes.
- 44:09Speaker 2: That's the Cinema Social Collective. It is.
- 44:12Speaker 6: Cinema Social Collective.
- 44:13Speaker 3: Very nice. You're a member. I'm a subscriber.
- 44:16Speaker 2: Yeah, you are. Big deal for him. So you also
- 44:19Speaker 2: got to go through Halloween Horror Nights for the preview.
- 44:22Speaker 2: I did. And how many of the houses did you
- 44:24Speaker 2: get to hit?
- 44:25Speaker 6: All but Hellraiser and Evil Dead Burn.
- 44:28Speaker 2: And Evil Dead Burn. Which was your favorite out of
- 44:31Speaker 2: the ones?
- 44:31Speaker 6: Jack and Oddfellow.
- 44:32Speaker 2: Jack and Oddfellow, really? Hands down. Really?
- 44:35Speaker 6: I really loved it.
- 44:36Speaker 2: I love.
- 44:37Speaker 12: I like an ease of storytelling with the houses because
- 44:40Speaker 12: sometimes they.
- 44:40Speaker 6: Can be overly complicated.
- 44:42Speaker 12: And if you have a bad walkthrough, you're like, I
- 44:44Speaker 12: don't understand the house.
- 44:46Speaker 2: And that's why I have H.R. Blood and Guts as
- 44:48Speaker 2: my favorite house.
- 44:49Speaker 6: That one is definitely the easiest.
- 44:51Speaker 2: Because you don't... And this is how I like to
- 44:54Speaker 2: make things. This is what I think about when I
- 44:55Speaker 2: write a sketch is that I don't want my audience
- 44:58Speaker 2: to be caught thinking throughout the entire experience. I want
- 45:01Speaker 2: them to get it so that way they can enjoy it.
- 45:04Speaker 3: Yes.
- 45:05Speaker 2: Thank you. And H.R. Blood and Guts is... does exactly
- 45:08Speaker 2: that it's so easy to understand so then you smile
- 45:12Speaker 2: way easier when you know what's happening in front of
- 45:15Speaker 2: you yeah you are a movie girl obviously you come
- 45:17Speaker 2: on the show on mondays and you never hear from
- 45:23Speaker 2: her again Are you a horror movie fan? We've never
- 45:31Speaker 2: really talked about that. I know that you like some
- 45:33Speaker 2: movies and you've made the face already.
- 45:34Speaker 12: I have branched out, but it's sporadic. I know I've
- 45:39Speaker 12: talked at length with you guys about obsessions. I love thrillers,
- 45:44Speaker 12: but straight up gory horror, it can really be touch
- 45:48Speaker 12: and go for me.
- 45:48Speaker 2: Would you consider Sinners a horror movie?
- 45:51Speaker 6: I think it is, but to me, it's like an action.
- 45:54Speaker 2: Thriller with some horror to it. That's such a good question.
- 45:57Speaker 2: Because they lean heavily into this being a horror franchise,
- 46:01Speaker 2: and it was a great, fun, scary movie, and probably
- 46:04Speaker 2: technically falls under the horror branch. But before they were
- 46:09Speaker 2: nominated for all those awards, there was only one other
- 46:11Speaker 2: horror movie in history that was ever nominated for an Oscar. What? Exorcist. Oh, yeah.
- 46:17Speaker 6: I didn't even know that.
- 46:18Speaker 3: That's a good one.
- 46:19Speaker 2: The reason why I thought you might be a horror
- 46:21Speaker 2: fan is because it's just like rom-coms. It's so difficult
- 46:25Speaker 2: for those movies to get any recognition because nobody takes
- 46:29Speaker 2: the content seriously, not like with drama or thrillers or
- 46:33Speaker 2: stuff like that. But, I mean, if you look at it,
- 46:35Speaker 2: Silence of the Lambs, I think, is one of the
- 46:36Speaker 2: greatest movies ever made. And, I mean, to me, I
- 46:39Speaker 2: know it's a suspense thriller movie, but you could easily
- 46:42Speaker 2: chalk that up as a horror movie. How many scenes
- 46:44Speaker 2: in that movie are hard? I mean, that scene of
- 46:45Speaker 2: him going through the basement or them going through the
- 46:47Speaker 2: basement with the night goggles is one of the best
- 46:49Speaker 2: scenes in the history of film. And that's as scary
- 46:52Speaker 2: as you can get it. And I'll match you with
- 46:54Speaker 2: a rom-com movie that I think is grossly underrated. And
- 46:58Speaker 2: maybe it's not underrated. I just think it's the best
- 47:00Speaker 2: rom-com and it's not even close. You better be very careful. Crazy, stupid, love.
- 47:04Speaker 6: Oh, that's such a good one. I.
- 47:06Speaker 2: Like, cried. I felt it's got the greatest twist in
- 47:10Speaker 2: all of movie history. Andrew Lincoln? No, that is Steve Carell,
- 47:15Speaker 2: Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone.
- 47:17Speaker 6: A lot of people.
- 47:18Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, man. If you want to feel love, crazy,
- 47:21Speaker 2: stupid love. And you're right. That didn't get any nominations.
- 47:24Speaker 2: And they don't. And I think that's a really, it's
- 47:26Speaker 2: a tragedy because they're hard to make. I mean, like comedies,
- 47:30Speaker 2: they'll tell you actors are like, I'd much rather do
- 47:31Speaker 2: drama because comedy is so much more difficult. But horror,
- 47:34Speaker 2: I mean, there are people who have made their entire careers.
- 47:36Speaker 2: I mean, Jamie Lee Curtis is one of them that you,
- 47:38Speaker 2: her fame came from being in horror movies.
- 47:42Speaker 12: I think the more I've watched horror films, I've come
- 47:45Speaker 12: to appreciate even just the production value because there are
- 47:48Speaker 12: so many wonderful uses of practical effects with makeup, with
- 47:55Speaker 12: all of these things. So how do you get them
- 47:57Speaker 12: to do that on screen? So I appreciate it from
- 48:00Speaker 12: that aspect.
- 48:00Speaker 6: I don't always like it, though.
- 48:02Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know what? You're 100% right, really. And
- 48:06Speaker 2: some of the movie magic kind of continued on. into
- 48:09Speaker 2: other films started in horror movies. I mean, you look
- 48:11Speaker 2: at the American Werewolf in London. You look at the
- 48:13Speaker 2: howling when the hand stretches in real time. Nobody had
- 48:18Speaker 2: ever seen anything like that. They had not done anything
- 48:20Speaker 2: like that before. So they were breaking ground on those movies,
- 48:24Speaker 2: and they were horror films. They took that tech into
- 48:26Speaker 2: other movies to make other great scenes.
- 48:29Speaker 6: Have you?
- 48:30Speaker 12: Well, I know you didn't like the Odyssey, but have
- 48:33Speaker 12: you seen all of the behind-the-scenes stuff of how they
- 48:35Speaker 12: did the Circe movie?
- 48:36Speaker 2: No, but I actually am more interested in how they
- 48:38Speaker 2: did some of those stuff than the movie itself.
- 48:40Speaker 6: Because that was all practical effects.
- 48:41Speaker 12: It was very, like, werewolf, American Werewolf in London coded
- 48:44Speaker 12: the way that they used, like, You know, how the
- 48:47Speaker 12: men's mouths open.
- 48:48Speaker 6: Up and stuff.
- 48:48Speaker 2: The pig scene?
- 48:49Speaker 6: The pig scene. That was all practical effects.
- 48:52Speaker 2: That's disturbing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That makes that scene that
- 48:54Speaker 2: much worse.
- 48:55Speaker 14: Yes.
- 48:55Speaker 2: I will wake up to that image the first thing
- 48:58Speaker 2: tomorrow morning. And you're the movie person. Explain this to me. Like,
- 49:01Speaker 2: you know, there's a horror couple. Horror movies don't get
- 49:04Speaker 2: released around October. Why do they release horror movies? Usually,
- 49:08Speaker 2: is it in the summer? Or something or no?
- 49:10Speaker 4: Isn't that like Lowe's putting up Halloween decorations in July?
- 49:13Speaker 12: I think it just depends on how big of a
- 49:15Speaker 12: franchise it is. But usually January, February is when... like,
- 49:18Speaker 12: I'm pretty sure Obsession came out in like early May.
- 49:22Speaker 12: They usually try to do it at off times because
- 49:24Speaker 12: that's the best chance for them to get people to
- 49:28Speaker 12: go to the theater for it. Because otherwise, when you
- 49:30Speaker 12: get further, like later in the year, you've got... the
- 49:33Speaker 12: big action movies coming out. You've got the holiday movies
- 49:36Speaker 12: starting to come out. You've got the big heavy hitters.
- 49:38Speaker 2: Yeah, but those are the ones that want to be
- 49:39Speaker 2: remembered during Oscar season, right? So you don't want your
- 49:42Speaker 2: movie released early in the year because you won't get remembered.
- 49:45Speaker 6: There's probably another reason why they do it in February
- 49:47Speaker 6: because they're like a.
- 49:48Speaker 2: Yeah, it's money.
- 49:49Speaker 5: And it's, that's the one thing I realized when I
- 49:52Speaker 5: joined movie club the second time around and it's like,
- 49:55Speaker 5: what's playing. And it was always a long list of
- 49:57Speaker 5: horror movies coming out because they produce them faster.
- 50:01Speaker 2: They get them in theaters. And it's the thing.
- 50:03Speaker 5: Post COVID where people were actually going to the theaters
- 50:06Speaker 5: more when, you know, after the writer's strike and all
- 50:09Speaker 5: those slowdowns, those were the movies that were populating theaters first.
- 50:13Speaker 7: Right.
- 50:14Speaker 2: And that's what was feeding the audience.
- 50:16Speaker 10: Yeah.
- 50:17Speaker 2: Yeah, my wife actually, I didn't really get into horror
- 50:19Speaker 2: very much. When I got married to Tori, Tori was
- 50:21Speaker 2: like really into horror. That's a really odd way of
- 50:25Speaker 2: couching that. You know, I wasn't really into horror, and
- 50:27Speaker 2: then I got married.
- 50:28Speaker 5: And we are saying that now it's my escape.
- 50:33Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. Two syllables on that horror. But it's true.
- 50:38Speaker 2: She was really into it. I never really was that
- 50:40Speaker 2: into it. So I was like, oh, I'll watch these
- 50:41Speaker 2: with you. I mean, I'm being a good husband and
- 50:43Speaker 2: kind of started to under really understand and appreciate what
- 50:47Speaker 2: they're trying to do. And I think it actually is
- 50:49Speaker 2: even more difficult because especially if you have like a monster,
- 50:52Speaker 2: you have to kind of figure out how to work
- 50:53Speaker 2: that thing into a plot line where it's actually a
- 50:56Speaker 2: movie and not just, hey, this guy's going to eat
- 50:57Speaker 2: somebody or this guy's going to hit somebody with a
- 50:59Speaker 2: hatchet or whatever. By the way, I think the guy
- 51:01Speaker 2: who wrote Friday the 13th died today. Really? Today or yesterday.
- 51:05Speaker 2: He started that franchise. I believe that writer passed on today.
- 51:08Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 51:09Speaker 2: He'll come back. Don't swim in his pond. Whatever you do. Yeah, man.
- 51:16Speaker 2: By the way, did you like any of the 80s?
- 51:19Speaker 2: Like the explosion of Jason and Freddie and- You didn't
- 51:22Speaker 2: get in any of those?
- 51:23Speaker 12: I have seen some of them, but that is not.
- 51:27Speaker 5: That's the slasher stuff. It's not suspense.
- 51:30Speaker 2: That's just slasher. And to me, that is super fun.
- 51:33Speaker 2: I can get behind any campy slasher. Jason, I love Freddy.
- 51:38Speaker 2: I love he kills with comedy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I
- 51:41Speaker 2: love that premise. That's why Cabin in the Woods hit
- 51:44Speaker 2: so hard, because it was like a black comedy with
- 51:48Speaker 2: tons and tons of very gory horror.
- 51:50Speaker 3: And like Emily, the movie girl, give me Rear Window
- 51:53Speaker 3: by Alfred Hitchcock anytime. Yes.
- 51:55Speaker 5: Yes.
- 51:56Speaker 12: I think that can be more disturbing, like something that
- 51:58Speaker 12: sticks with you or even like The Sixth Sense.
- 52:01Speaker 3: Oh, without a doubt.
- 52:01Speaker 6: I feel like everyone says, oh, it's overrated. It's like, no,
- 52:04Speaker 6: but it's a good one for a reason.
- 52:06Speaker 2: Don't spoil it. Don't spoil it. Who said that? What
- 52:08Speaker 2: human being said that The Sixth Sense was overrated?
- 52:11Speaker 12: Well, a lot of people, you know, it's like saying,
- 52:14Speaker 12: you know, Wicked is your favorite musical. It doesn't mean
- 52:17Speaker 12: it's a bad musical. It's just it's like everyone's favorite.
- 52:20Speaker 2: Yeah, I got you. And then M.
- 52:21Speaker 5: Night Shyamalan went on to do other stuff that wasn't
- 52:24Speaker 5: as good. So then it's like it kind of diminished
- 52:27Speaker 5: looking back for some.
- 52:28Speaker 2: They're saying, oh, he's not that good. He is good, though.
- 52:31Speaker 2: Science was awesome. Real fast.
- 52:33Speaker 10: Oh, yeah.
- 52:33Speaker 2: I love that one. I would love to press this
- 52:35Speaker 2: against everybody in the room here. Hold on.
- 52:37Speaker 1: Easy.
- 52:38Speaker 2: Come on now. Is it a ham? It's not. Death
- 52:42Speaker 2: by cheese stick. What I'm saying is, what is the
- 52:48Speaker 2: scariest movie you've ever experienced, whether it's in the theater
- 52:52Speaker 2: or in your home? The one that affected me the
- 52:55Speaker 2: most because of when I saw it was The Exorcist.
- 52:57Speaker 2: There is, in my opinion... You got to remember, that's
- 53:00Speaker 2: a cultural thing for me as well, because I grew
- 53:02Speaker 2: up in a Pentecostal household. And if you know what
- 53:05Speaker 2: that is, you know, take the most religious person you
- 53:08Speaker 2: think you know that's a Christian and then put that
- 53:10Speaker 2: person at address and don't allow them to do anything fun.
- 53:14Speaker 2: That is Pentecostals. They are the Hasidic Jews of Christianity.
- 53:17Speaker 2: It is ultimately strict. They don't believe in any, and
- 53:20Speaker 2: they believe like I was pressed from a very young
- 53:23Speaker 2: age that those things could happen. The devil is out
- 53:25Speaker 2: to get you. The devil can possess you. So when
- 53:28Speaker 2: I saw the exorcist, it basically brought everything my grandmother
- 53:32Speaker 2: had told me in Sunday school to life in front
- 53:34Speaker 2: of me. And I didn't sleep. I didn't sleep right
- 53:37Speaker 2: for probably three months after that.
- 53:39Speaker 10: Whoa.
- 53:40Speaker 2: Yeah, it was awful, dude. It was a terrible experience
- 53:43Speaker 2: for me. I think, like... And then the Conjuring. The... Yeah,
- 53:46Speaker 2: Conjuring ribs. It's really good.
- 53:48Speaker 5: I'll... Does Jaws count as a horror movie?
- 53:51Speaker 2: No. I mean, why not? That's a yes, yes, and
- 53:54Speaker 2: a no. No, dude, no.
- 53:56Speaker 3: Well, you've been outvoted.
- 53:57Speaker 2: Yeah, that's Jim's job, though, to say no.
- 53:59Speaker 6: I think for me, I remember watching The Ring.
- 54:03Speaker 10: Oh, yeah.
- 54:03Speaker 6: But it was like, I think I was way too young.
- 54:06Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 54:06Speaker 6: Like, my mom was like, this should be fine. And
- 54:08Speaker 6: I was not fine.
- 54:11Speaker 2: On day six, you're like, bye, mom.
- 54:14Speaker 5: That's what makes horror movies, you say, the scariest. Now,
- 54:17Speaker 5: I saw Exorcist for him, but it's because of when
- 54:20Speaker 5: he saw it. I saw it for the first time
- 54:22Speaker 5: just about two, three years ago.
- 54:23Speaker 2: And I got it. I was like, it's good. It's dated.
- 54:26Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, that's good. But I'm not scared. Not
- 54:30Speaker 2: a horror movie, but I felt the same way with Scarface.
- 54:32Speaker 2: And then they were like, dude.
- 54:33Speaker 3: It's a drug hustle movie.
- 54:35Speaker 2: The biggest come up story in all of Miami history.
- 54:38Speaker 2: And then you turn it on and it's like, As
- 54:43Speaker 2: a Catholic, as a Catholic, it didn't matter.
- 54:47Speaker 3: No, because again, he saw it as a grown man.
- 54:49Speaker 2: Yeah, it was just a few years ago.
- 54:51Speaker 4: I'm with you on The Exorcist. For me, it wasn't
- 54:54Speaker 4: just the original one. It was the scenes that they
- 54:56Speaker 4: had cut out from the original one. where Reagan comes
- 54:59Speaker 4: down the stairs like a spider with her head on backwards.
- 55:03Speaker 4: So when they restored the movie with those uncut scenes, yeah.
- 55:08Speaker 4: And another quick tip, regardless of your age, don't fall
- 55:11Speaker 4: asleep on the couch.
- 55:13Speaker 3: With The Exorcist on in the background.
- 55:15Speaker 11: Oh, yeah?
- 55:15Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a hard nap.
- 55:17Speaker 2: After that movie aired, I couldn't go to sleep in
- 55:21Speaker 2: my bedroom because I just kept washing my furniture because
- 55:24Speaker 2: I was sure it was going to walk across the
- 55:26Speaker 2: room by itself and block the door. Right. Because that's
- 55:28Speaker 2: what happened in The Exorcist. I will say this, though.
- 55:31Speaker 2: I think, personally, the best horror movie ever made is
- 55:34Speaker 2: Halloween 1. That's the best horror movie.
- 55:38Speaker 3: That's the one that put Jamie Lee Curtis on the mask.
- 55:40Speaker 5: In my opinion, that's the best. And I'll tell you why.
- 55:44Speaker 5: And I'll tell you why, right?
- 55:45Speaker 2: Here's why. Because the mask had no emotions. And so
- 55:50Speaker 2: even with the killer, the killer gets angry. You can
- 55:53Speaker 2: see the killer mad about something. You can at least
- 55:55Speaker 2: apply emotion to that. This was a faceless, nameless shape.
- 56:00Speaker 2: And that's what they called him in the script, by
- 56:01Speaker 2: the way, was the shape. And it was just a
- 56:04Speaker 2: killing machine. And it was trying to kill the worst thing,
- 56:07Speaker 2: like a girl and two kids. And I think it
- 56:09Speaker 2: was just the greatest of all of them. I still
- 56:11Speaker 2: think it holds up.
- 56:12Speaker 5: And, Deb, that mask was a William Shatner mask that
- 56:14Speaker 5: they spray-painted white.
- 56:16Speaker 4: No way. I was this many days old when I
- 56:19Speaker 4: learned that.
- 56:20Speaker 6: I didn't know that either.
- 56:21Speaker 4: And I learned about my sixth gear today. It's been
- 56:23Speaker 4: just a whole big day of learning, guys. A whole
- 56:25Speaker 4: big day of learning.
- 56:26Speaker 2: I can get on board on Halloween being one of
- 56:29Speaker 2: the most important films. It literally spun an entire genre.
- 56:33Speaker 2: Jamie Lee Curtis, Scream Queen. We're still in that realm
- 56:37Speaker 2: of horror. Could everybody be quiet and let him S
- 56:39Speaker 2: on my idea? No. It's a good nomination. That's actually
- 56:45Speaker 2: me pooping. That's what that sounds like.
- 56:48Speaker 3: Death by cheese stick.
- 56:49Speaker 2: I think Ari Aster is the greatest horror mind that
- 56:53Speaker 2: ever walked this planet. This is also what I believe
- 56:56Speaker 2: in when it comes to just us as a species
- 56:58Speaker 2: evolving as we keep getting better. The best sprinter in
- 57:02Speaker 2: 1950 would get blown out by someone in the 2020.
- 57:04Speaker 2: And I feel the same way when it comes to
- 57:06Speaker 2: art more times than not. I appreciate Halloween, but Hereditary
- 57:11Speaker 2: is like, I don't even want to call it horror, man.
- 57:15Speaker 2: It is disturbing. It is not a fun watch. It
- 57:19Speaker 2: is rough to experience. Yet, if you haven't felt anything
- 57:24Speaker 2: in a long time, and if you don't feel anything
- 57:26Speaker 2: when you watch Hereditary or Midsommar, Oh, Midsommar is nuts.
- 57:30Speaker 2: That's Ari Aster. Midsommar is nuts. I think he's a
- 57:36Speaker 2: messed up human being making a lot of other people
- 57:39Speaker 2: feel messed up. Midsommar is like walking you through a
- 57:41Speaker 2: children's house to a meat grinder. Because, I mean, you
- 57:45Speaker 2: just aren't expecting anything. And the next thing you know,
- 57:48Speaker 2: they bring out the hammer.
- 57:50Speaker 4: And that's based on a lot of ancient folklore and traditions.
- 57:54Speaker 2: I mean, the whole.
- 57:56Speaker 4: Burning Man thing used to be an effigy of of
- 57:59Speaker 4: a man that they would stuff with prisoners.
- 58:01Speaker 3: And and then wolf. Yeah.
- 58:04Speaker 4: During Roman times is a way of appeasing the gods
- 58:06Speaker 4: and making sure that your crops came out.
- 58:08Speaker 3: Yeah, that's I mean, just like the Brothers Grimm.
- 58:11Speaker 4: All of our fairy tales are so much darker when
- 58:13Speaker 4: you go back to the original material.
- 58:15Speaker 2: It was.
- 58:16Speaker 3: Modern day that allowed us to make it seem all cutesy.
- 58:19Speaker 2: It was also, shout out to Emily for another honorable mention.
- 58:23Speaker 2: She basically sat me down and said, Ross, watch this
- 58:26Speaker 2: movie over a year ago. I would also put The
- 58:29Speaker 2: Substance right next to any horror film.
- 58:33Speaker 6: Yes, thank you.
- 58:34Speaker 2: That's the Demi Moore one?
- 58:35Speaker 12: Yes.
- 58:36Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
- 58:37Speaker 12: I appreciate that you bring up that and Hereditary because
- 58:41Speaker 12: a lot of these films feel like they're filling a
- 58:43Speaker 12: generational gap between people that love the 80s slashers and
- 58:47Speaker 12: then also a lot of Gen Z kids that are like,
- 58:50Speaker 12: These are the movies that I love.
- 58:51Speaker 6: Hereditary, da-da-da.
- 58:52Speaker 12: I feel like it's one thing that everyone can agree on.
- 58:54Speaker 6: Like, oh yeah, these are really good.
- 58:56Speaker 12: So it's cool to see these more recent horror films
- 58:59Speaker 12: really bridging a gap.
- 59:01Speaker 2: They have to be because they are the most disturbing
- 59:05Speaker 2: two hours I think you can spend on a couch, man. Jack,
- 59:08Speaker 2: you're emotionless. What's your favorite? None scare me. I don't
- 59:14Speaker 2: remember any of them. Uncrustables. I think I'm good. Jaws.
- 59:22Speaker 5: The reason I asked about Jaws is because I saw
- 59:24Speaker 5: that when I was young, so therefore you develop that fear.
- 59:28Speaker 3: Just like the exorcist.
- 59:29Speaker 2: Right. So that's a.
- 59:31Speaker 5: Practical fear that you take into how many people didn't
- 59:35Speaker 5: want to go swimming because of Jaws.
- 59:36Speaker 3: I bet it was the head bobbing out of the
- 59:38Speaker 3: hole in the hull.
- 59:40Speaker 2: I know Jimmy has mentioned that.
- 59:41Speaker 5: Yeah, when that head, that fisherman's head comes through that hole,
- 59:44Speaker 5: that's a jump scare.
- 59:44Speaker 3: It is a jump scare. It's right up there when
- 59:46Speaker 3: the girl is swimming and then all of a sudden
- 59:48Speaker 3: she's not.
- 59:48Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're like, what? But she was naked.
- 59:51Speaker 2: I want to say it's like one of the first
- 59:53Speaker 2: jump scares ever. Ever. That it's looked at as Spielberg
- 59:57Speaker 2: just being like, okay, I'm going to start a new
- 59:59Speaker 2: stereotype for movies. Exactly. Do you guys have a favorite
- 1:00:02Speaker 2: movie monster? The monster's great. Movie didn't have to be
- 1:00:07Speaker 2: as great.
- 1:00:08Speaker 4: Signs for me was so creepy because you sometimes saw them,
- 1:00:12Speaker 4: you sometimes didn't, and it's creepy to me to hear
- 1:00:14Speaker 4: something around you but not be able to lock in
- 1:00:17Speaker 4: on where it's going, what it's doing, what its intentions are.
- 1:00:20Speaker 5: I think Jake Shaw was good. Oh, that's a good one, dude.
- 1:00:25Speaker 5: One of the best twists in a movie in a while.
- 1:00:27Speaker 5: Both of those things just struck up memories. The first thing,
- 1:00:30Speaker 5: what was your... Signs.
- 1:00:32Speaker 2: Do you remember in Scary Movie 3? It's the best
- 1:00:35Speaker 2: scary movie joke out of any of the whole franchise
- 1:00:37Speaker 2: when they reference signs, and instead of just seeing the
- 1:00:40Speaker 2: alien walk, he has this little kind of gay section.
- 1:00:44Speaker 2: He just walks with sass.
- 1:00:46Speaker 3: I'm going to have to check that out.
- 1:00:48Speaker 2: And then, Jack, what movie did you just say? Saw
- 1:00:51Speaker 2: with Jake Saw. Saw. I'm watching the movie. I'm there.
- 1:00:54Speaker 2: My friend calls me up. I go, what's up, man?
- 1:00:56Speaker 2: He goes, yo, what are you doing? I go, I'm
- 1:00:58Speaker 2: watching Saw. And he goes, oh, guess what? Spoiled.
- 1:01:01Speaker 8: No.
- 1:01:04Speaker 2: I never got that twist. And we're not going to
- 1:01:06Speaker 2: say the twist right now.
- 1:01:07Speaker 3: I don't know what the twist is. I've never seen it.
- 1:01:09Speaker 2: The twist is damn good. It's one of the best ever.
- 1:01:14Speaker 2: It's like the.
- 1:01:14Speaker 3: Twist in Sixth Sense. Sixth Sense, exactly.
- 1:01:17Speaker 2: What's a better twist? Saw or Sixth Sense?
- 1:01:21Speaker 3: Never saw Saw, so I can't.
- 1:01:23Speaker 2: Oh, my God, dude. Texting service, text us. We can't
- 1:01:27Speaker 2: read it.
- 1:01:27Speaker 3: How about you?
- 1:01:28Speaker 2: What do you think about that?
- 1:01:30Speaker 6: About between those two?
- 1:01:32Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which is the best?
- 1:01:33Speaker 6: I think Sixth.
- 1:01:34Speaker 12: Sense like sticks with me more personally. But that film
- 1:01:37Speaker 12: just speaks.
- 1:01:38Speaker 2: More to me. I would probably say, but when I
- 1:01:40Speaker 2: was in a theater when I saw Saul, and when
- 1:01:42Speaker 2: they did that, I yelled out, no blanking way. Yeah.
- 1:01:46Speaker 2: And I clapped.
- 1:01:47Speaker 6: Exactly, no blanking way.
- 1:01:49Speaker 2: He did. I literally clapped. I just clapped at how
- 1:01:51Speaker 2: good it was. I have goosebumps and I'm showing Deb.
- 1:01:54Speaker 5: But the sixth sense, that reveal is something that makes
- 1:01:58Speaker 5: you watch the movie again.
- 1:01:59Speaker 2: Yes, it is. That is the identity of that movie. Oh,
- 1:02:01Speaker 2: without a doubt.
- 1:02:02Speaker 4: I was like, oh, you son of a bitch showing
- 1:02:04Speaker 4: up late to your anniversary dinner. It's no wonder she
- 1:02:06Speaker 4: won't look at you.
- 1:02:07Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:02:08Speaker 2: I was like, you deserve this. I think we answered
- 1:02:11Speaker 2: our question is that we're willing to openly talk about
- 1:02:14Speaker 2: the sixth sense twist, but we're not openly willing to
- 1:02:17Speaker 2: talk about the solid twist. I would have to give
- 1:02:20Speaker 2: it the sixth sense because it's just such a cornerstone.
- 1:02:23Speaker 2: I mean, it is. Yeah, it is. I mean, like
- 1:02:25Speaker 2: if you were to Google, if you're to ask AI
- 1:02:28Speaker 2: best movie twists ever, I'm telling you, man, that's got
- 1:02:31Speaker 2: to be top three of all time.
- 1:02:32Speaker 4: Because you kept waiting for the twist in the movie.
- 1:02:34Speaker 4: You kept waiting for the moment. And then when it happened,
- 1:02:36Speaker 4: you're like, what?
- 1:02:37Speaker 2: Psycho was the OG, though, right? The twist? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:02:41Speaker 2: The twist in Psycho is pretty OG. And also, all
- 1:02:44Speaker 2: twists fall short, and I mean this, to Crazy Stupid Love.
- 1:02:47Speaker 2: That rom-com. That's a full circle. That's what they call
- 1:02:52Speaker 2: a full effing circle. And with that said, you guys
- 1:02:54Speaker 2: give it up good and loud for them. Thank you.
- 1:02:58Speaker 6: Thanks for letting me hop in and say hi.
- 1:02:59Speaker 2: You bet, man. Always good seeing you, kid.
- 1:03:00Speaker 11: Thanks.
- 1:03:01Speaker 2: All right, Pro7, 916-1041, text 77031. Back in a sec
- 1:03:02Speaker 2: with more of the Jim Colbert Show. Happy Labor Day weekend,
- 1:03:08Speaker 2: Cobra Company. It's Concrete Mike.
- 1:03:10Speaker 13: Deb, you're right on with signs.
- 1:03:13Speaker 2: That is a great movie.
- 1:03:15Speaker 3: Definitely creepy.
- 1:03:18Speaker 13: But I got ruined with movies when I was in
- 1:03:21Speaker 13: my younger years, Nightmare on Elm Street, watching that in
- 1:03:26Speaker 13: a dark living room by myself while my dad was
- 1:03:29Speaker 13: sleeping on the couch. It traumatized me a little bit,
- 1:03:32Speaker 13: and no movies ever scared me after that.
- 1:03:36Speaker 2: Welcome back to the Jim Colbert Show, Real Radio 104.1.
- 1:03:39Speaker 2: We are broadcasting live from Universal Orlando Resorts.
- 1:03:41Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
- 1:03:42Speaker 2: Celebrating Halloween Horror Nights, the 35th Halloween Horror Nights. Wow. Actually,
- 1:03:47Speaker 2: just talking, by the way, welcome back. I'm Jim. There's Deb. Hello. Jack.
- 1:03:50Speaker 7: Yep.
- 1:03:50Speaker 2: And Ross as well. Death by cheese stick. I was
- 1:03:52Speaker 2: talking to Jody, who works here at Universal, who was
- 1:03:56Speaker 2: so gracious to help us get in today and take
- 1:03:58Speaker 2: care of all the things that we need to have
- 1:03:59Speaker 2: taken care of to get into the parks and handle this.
- 1:04:01Speaker 2: And I was like, I remember broadcasting from this the
- 1:04:04Speaker 2: year after... They changed the name. I'm not going to
- 1:04:07Speaker 2: say the original name because we have trivia coming up.
- 1:04:09Speaker 3: Oh, that's weird. I forgot.
- 1:04:13Speaker 2: But it wasn't originally. That's a hint. Halloween Horror Nights.
- 1:04:16Speaker 2: It was something else. They didn't even have characters back
- 1:04:19Speaker 2: in the day. Those were just disgruntled employees. There was
- 1:04:23Speaker 2: only like one house or two houses. And then to
- 1:04:26Speaker 2: watch it grow, I actually said that we did. I
- 1:04:27Speaker 2: don't even know if this broadcast studio was here yet.
- 1:04:29Speaker 2: In the main plaza right in front of Mel's Diner,
- 1:04:32Speaker 2: that's where we set up a long table. That's where
- 1:04:34Speaker 2: the radio broadcast was from. We actually have old pictures
- 1:04:36Speaker 2: of us all dressed up in Halloween costumes doing the
- 1:04:40Speaker 2: broadcast from there.
- 1:04:41Speaker 5: So my wife performed in one of the shows back
- 1:04:44Speaker 5: in 96. and the stage right across from Mel's Dine-In,
- 1:04:48Speaker 5: Mel's Diner. And she was the shill in the audience
- 1:04:52Speaker 5: where they'd bring someone up on stage, and then she
- 1:04:55Speaker 5: has this Velcro dress on, rips it off, and then
- 1:04:57Speaker 5: sings Rock and.
- 1:04:58Speaker 2: Roll by Led Zeppelin. Cool. Tell me more about this dress. Yeah. Easy, fella.
- 1:05:04Speaker 4: I was telling Jody when we first got here that
- 1:05:06Speaker 4: I remember 35 years ago when this first started, and
- 1:05:09Speaker 4: it was such a brand-new concept, and people were like,
- 1:05:12Speaker 4: Halloween at a theme park?
- 1:05:14Speaker 3: How are you going to change all the attractions?
- 1:05:16Speaker 4: And at the time, I was with the Morning Zoo
- 1:05:18Speaker 4: doc and Johnny on XL, and we slept in one
- 1:05:20Speaker 4: of the haunted houses. And the whole idea was that
- 1:05:24Speaker 4: the scaracters would come out in the middle of the
- 1:05:25Speaker 4: night and try and scare us.
- 1:05:27Speaker 3: But to see the.
- 1:05:28Speaker 4: Evolution of what then constituted one of the houses to
- 1:05:31Speaker 4: where Universal is at now, you can see how they've
- 1:05:35Speaker 4: created an entire new industry of For the theme park industry.
- 1:05:39Speaker 2: Whoever thought of this, they should have a bust of
- 1:05:44Speaker 2: themselves on property somewhere. I think they do. I remember
- 1:05:49Speaker 2: talking to somebody years ago, and we were talking about, man,
- 1:05:52Speaker 2: can you imagine how much money it makes? Somebody told
- 1:05:53Speaker 2: me at one point that Halloween Heartaches makes almost a
- 1:05:55Speaker 2: third of what the entire park system made for the
- 1:05:58Speaker 2: year in that brief time. I don't know if that's
- 1:06:00Speaker 2: accurate or not, but it is a very powerful event.
- 1:06:04Speaker 2: And it happens not only here, it happens in L.A.
- 1:06:06Speaker 2: as well, right? Yes, but shots fired, they're not even
- 1:06:10Speaker 2: close to us. Oh, really? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's
- 1:06:13Speaker 2: a different offering. Those are two different creative teams. They
- 1:06:15Speaker 2: might get the same rights, but I will die on
- 1:06:17Speaker 2: this hill. Universal Orlando. We got the juggernauts down here
- 1:06:22Speaker 2: in 407. And one thing that these guys have never
- 1:06:24Speaker 2: been afraid to do is they've never been afraid to
- 1:06:27Speaker 2: take chances. Even back in the day, they were doing
- 1:06:29Speaker 2: stuff that... Even we in zoo radio world, and trust me,
- 1:06:33Speaker 2: 90s radio was a complete madhouse. And these guys were
- 1:06:36Speaker 2: like matching us like, yeah, we'll do that. Yeah, let's
- 1:06:38Speaker 2: do that. I mean, it was crazy. I mean, at
- 1:06:40Speaker 2: one point, I don't know if they still have her.
- 1:06:42Speaker 2: They had a lady that laid in a coffin full
- 1:06:45Speaker 2: of rats. Yeah. I mean, that started here. I mean,
- 1:06:48Speaker 2: all that. It was the best, man. I mean, just
- 1:06:51Speaker 2: watching this thing grow and come to life.
- 1:06:53Speaker 3: Yeah, you like Ladies in Coffins with rats?
- 1:06:55Speaker 2: No, no, no. It's just like that's how far they
- 1:06:57Speaker 2: would go. They weren't afraid to take chances. Yeah, no.
- 1:07:00Speaker 3: I mean, they had to put the name on the map,
- 1:07:01Speaker 3: and they did.
- 1:07:02Speaker 2: Well, back in the day, Scarecrow. Scarecrow? Scarecrow. Scarecrow. But
- 1:07:08Speaker 2: you say Mario, so I don't know what you do.
- 1:07:12Speaker 10: Scarecrow.
- 1:07:14Speaker 5: You can say it two or three ways. The scared
- 1:07:17Speaker 5: person could touch you, but then they stop doing that.
- 1:07:20Speaker 5: Now they don't.
- 1:07:22Speaker 2: So to that extent, and I have to be careful
- 1:07:25Speaker 2: what I say here, but let's say I know a
- 1:07:29Speaker 2: guy who maybe worked a house that used to have
- 1:07:32Speaker 2: a waiver system. that guests would sign for an extra fee,
- 1:07:38Speaker 2: which would let performers maybe brush hair behind your ear. Oh, wow.
- 1:07:44Speaker 2: And whisper to your ear.
- 1:07:46Speaker 3: Do they know how much extra that is?
- 1:07:48Speaker 2: Yeah, right. Well, it was... I paid for the two
- 1:07:51Speaker 2: one time, it was just at a truck stop. And
- 1:07:53Speaker 2: could you sign that up for someone else and not
- 1:07:55Speaker 2: tell them?
- 1:07:58Speaker 3: Oh, that'd be a good time.
- 1:07:59Speaker 2: Dirtiest of dirty. I want to say that was year 26.
- 1:08:02Speaker 2: So nine years ago, they offered an extra house. That
- 1:08:06Speaker 2: was a kind of a hidden house that was filled
- 1:08:08Speaker 2: with more Halloween Horror Night lore is about a 26.
- 1:08:10Speaker 2: 25 minute 30 minute experience that also had augmented reality
- 1:08:16Speaker 2: dude if they did that now it would be that
- 1:08:18Speaker 2: it would sell out immediately uh and it was really
- 1:08:21Speaker 2: cool to be allegedly a part of like you know
- 1:08:25Speaker 2: if they offered that right now it would be the
- 1:08:27Speaker 2: number one ticket sold for this thing i mean a
- 1:08:30Speaker 2: house that where the characters can like really kind of
- 1:08:32Speaker 2: get involved with it and really try to scare the
- 1:08:34Speaker 2: hell out of.
- 1:08:35Speaker 3: You i'm sorry sir you've been through this house already i.
- 1:08:37Speaker 2: Mean i think They do a really good job in
- 1:08:40Speaker 2: the other houses. I mean, they really do within the
- 1:08:42Speaker 2: realm that they have to work in. But the ability
- 1:08:44Speaker 2: to have that would be nuts. Yeah. It's just such
- 1:08:48Speaker 2: a cool event. There's so many things that I want
- 1:08:50Speaker 2: you guys to experience because this feels like my neck
- 1:08:53Speaker 2: of the woods in so many ways. But I cannot
- 1:08:56Speaker 2: stress it enough. You don't need to go through a
- 1:08:59Speaker 2: single house. for Halloween Horror Nights to get all of
- 1:09:02Speaker 2: your tickets worth if you see that Lagoon show. It
- 1:09:05Speaker 2: really is worth that much. You are pumping this up.
- 1:09:08Speaker 2: It better be good. I can't overhype it. I legit
- 1:09:12Speaker 2: cannot overhype it because there is new technology that's in
- 1:09:16Speaker 2: that Lagoon show that you have not seen before.
- 1:09:19Speaker 3: All right.
- 1:09:19Speaker 2: Well, for me, that's not a big of a deal, buddy.
- 1:09:22Speaker 3: He just learned how to smash a text message recently.
- 1:09:24Speaker 2: I was going to say. Of course, so did I.
- 1:09:26Speaker 2: For me, that's going to be like, oh, wow, laser.
- 1:09:29Speaker 2: We'll get you one of those bubble wands. Oh, wow, bubbles.
- 1:09:34Speaker 2: All right, 407-916-1041. Text us at 703. I got a
- 1:09:39Speaker 2: question for you guys when we get back. Oh, no.
- 1:09:41Speaker 2: It's a little morbid. I'll tell you what it is next.
- 1:09:43Speaker 11: Spooky.
- 1:09:44Speaker 9: I worked for Halloween Horror Nights for years running some
- 1:09:48Speaker 9: of the photo ops there, and I spent more time
- 1:09:50Speaker 9: protecting the characters from the guests than the other way around.
- 1:09:54Speaker 9: We even had one woman come in, grab a hold
- 1:09:56Speaker 9: of the director... dragged him off to meet her parents.
- 1:10:00Speaker 9: Because she was going to marry him, he had no idea.
- 1:10:02Speaker 3: Who she was.
- 1:10:03Speaker 13: Oh.
- 1:10:03Speaker 3: But it was a lot of fun working there.
- 1:10:06Speaker 2: Bye!
- 1:10:07Speaker 3: Bye! Did they ever get married?
- 1:10:09Speaker 2: That's a fine question. Yeah, I don't think... Welcome back
- 1:10:12Speaker 2: to the Jim Colbert Show. We're already at 104.1.
- 1:10:15Speaker 3: I'm Jim.
- 1:10:15Speaker 2: There's Deb.
- 1:10:16Speaker 3: Hello.
- 1:10:16Speaker 2: Jack. Hi. And Sauce is here as well. Props to
- 1:10:20Speaker 2: the icons. Broadcasting live from University of Orlando Resort. We're
- 1:10:22Speaker 2: celebrating 35 years of Halloween Horror Nights. Come on out.
- 1:10:25Speaker 2: It just got started last, was it last Thursday or
- 1:10:27Speaker 2: last Friday night? Yeah, I believe so. Last week. Been
- 1:10:30Speaker 2: rolling for a week. Goes through November 1st. And you
- 1:10:34Speaker 2: can get your tickets. I strongly suggest the Express Pass.
- 1:10:37Speaker 3: It will.
- 1:10:38Speaker 2: greatly enhance your experience of making it through the houses.
- 1:10:41Speaker 2: I would also tell you get here as early as
- 1:10:43Speaker 2: you possibly can. So when they start the houses, I
- 1:10:45Speaker 2: think there's a couple that stay open all the time, right?
- 1:10:47Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 1:10:47Speaker 2: Like centers is open. Yeah. All the way up till
- 1:10:49Speaker 2: 2 a.m. And you are correct. I'm not going to
- 1:10:52Speaker 2: dance around the fact that express passes absolutely help. But
- 1:10:56Speaker 2: if you show up when gates open, and let's say
- 1:10:59Speaker 2: you are here at 7 o'clock. That's not even exactly
- 1:11:02Speaker 2: when gates open.
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: Right, right.
- 1:11:03Speaker 2: You'll be able to do every house, no problem. From
- 1:11:06Speaker 2: 7 to 2 a.m. You'll be able to rip three
- 1:11:08Speaker 2: of them pretty quick before the lines even start building.
- 1:11:11Speaker 2: The Express Pass allows you to kind of take your time,
- 1:11:13Speaker 2: kind of make through it a little bit. Every time
- 1:11:15Speaker 2: I've had the Express Pass, we've never had a problem
- 1:11:16Speaker 2: making it through any of those gates. And it's so
- 1:11:19Speaker 2: much fun. Again, this is just an– I mean, here
- 1:11:21Speaker 2: they come now.
- 1:11:22Speaker 3: I was going to say, here comes the theming for
- 1:11:24Speaker 3: Halloween Horror Night.
- 1:11:25Speaker 2: And that theming right there that's going behind us, I
- 1:11:29Speaker 2: am fairly certain that is for downtown clown town. Okay.
- 1:11:35Speaker 2: Or clown bound. Okay.
- 1:11:37Speaker 3: It looks like it's a clown town.
- 1:11:38Speaker 2: And it's one of the– The coolest things I can
- 1:11:41Speaker 2: honestly say that any theme park has done, because there's
- 1:11:44Speaker 2: a portion of this theme park, Jim, that is just
- 1:11:47Speaker 2: a bunch of infamous, famous, murderous clowns. Oh, yeah, yeah.
- 1:11:50Speaker 2: Whether it's the killer clowns from Outer Space, and then
- 1:11:53Speaker 2: you take a left, and then you see Art the
- 1:11:55Speaker 2: Clown from Terrifier. Then John... And then you take another left,
- 1:11:58Speaker 2: and then you see a clown with black balloons that
- 1:12:00Speaker 2: is darkly lit walking down a fogged-up hallway. And then
- 1:12:04Speaker 2: you get Pennywise. Not Pennywise, but then you'll see Chance,
- 1:12:07Speaker 2: and then you'll see Jack. I've never seen IP's merge.
- 1:12:12Speaker 2: Like they have at year 35 at Hornets. That's cool, man.
- 1:12:15Speaker 2: They have Stranger Things, Sinners, Hellraiser, Ozzie, Prince of Darkness,
- 1:12:19Speaker 2: Evil Dead Burn, Jack and Oddfellow, Invasion, Alien Abduction, H.R.
- 1:12:26Speaker 2: Blood and Guts, one of your favorites, Madlands, Caged Cannibals.
- 1:12:29Speaker 2: Hadn't heard much about that one. It wasn't one of
- 1:12:32Speaker 2: my favorites. However, it is still stunning. And the premise
- 1:12:36Speaker 2: and the story of it is really, really cool. Essentially,
- 1:12:39Speaker 2: a bunch of cannibals take over a zoo. Oh, yeah.
- 1:12:41Speaker 13: Nice.
- 1:12:42Speaker 1: Nice.
- 1:12:42Speaker 2: And that's just a fun thing to say. If you're
- 1:12:44Speaker 2: on a red light, give it a go. Right. 77031.
- 1:12:48Speaker 2: So I was thinking today, and this is a little morbid,
- 1:12:52Speaker 2: and I think it fits kind of the theme today.
- 1:12:53Speaker 2: All right. So... I don't know why I thought of this.
- 1:12:58Speaker 2: Can you sell your organs while you're alive? I know
- 1:13:03Speaker 2: a guy. So I know that you can, like, when
- 1:13:07Speaker 2: you pass, you can be an organ donor. And, of course,
- 1:13:10Speaker 2: your donated organs can go to people in need, whether
- 1:13:12Speaker 2: it be eyes, ears, or not eyes. kidneys, liver, lungs, heart,
- 1:13:17Speaker 2: whatever the case may be, that can certainly help people out.
- 1:13:20Speaker 2: But let's say you know somebody that matches your blood
- 1:13:22Speaker 2: type and they need a kidney. Can you, I mean,
- 1:13:27Speaker 2: rather than just donating the kidney, and I'm not saying
- 1:13:29Speaker 2: I would do this, could you sell that? Could you
- 1:13:31Speaker 2: go to a person and say, I tell you what,
- 1:13:33Speaker 2: I will gladly give this kidney to you, but this
- 1:13:35Speaker 2: kidney is going to.
- 1:13:36Speaker 5: Cost you $ 20, 000. I mean, we do with plasma. Yeah,
- 1:13:39Speaker 5: but I think it's illegal to sell body parts.
- 1:13:42Speaker 2: Right. But you can sell sperm. But you can donate them.
- 1:13:44Speaker 2: You can sell sperm. You can sell blood.
- 1:13:47Speaker 3: But that's a regenerating.
- 1:13:49Speaker 2: That's future body parts. Women have children for other women. Surrogacy. Yeah, surrogacy.
- 1:13:55Speaker 2: They can do that for money. What are you trying
- 1:13:58Speaker 2: to flip? I'm not trying to flip anything. You need
- 1:14:01Speaker 2: a kidney? Bro need a kidney?
- 1:14:03Speaker 3: You of all people shouldn't have to sell any organs.
- 1:14:06Speaker 2: And by the way, you can sell part of your lung.
- 1:14:08Speaker 2: You can sell part of a kidney or part of
- 1:14:10Speaker 2: a liver because you can sell a lobe of it
- 1:14:13Speaker 2: because your liver will regenerate. And your lung can do
- 1:14:16Speaker 2: that as well. Of course, we know you can live
- 1:14:17Speaker 2: with one kidney. We know many people have done that. But,
- 1:14:20Speaker 2: I mean, there are a lot more parts of you
- 1:14:22Speaker 2: that can be taken, and you'd still be perfectly fine.
- 1:14:25Speaker 2: People forget. It's a really weird thing that I know
- 1:14:29Speaker 2: about myself, but the liver, by far, the coolest organ
- 1:14:33Speaker 2: in our body. Why do you say that? You just
- 1:14:34Speaker 2: said it. It regenerates. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like a lizard tail.
- 1:14:38Speaker 2: We have... Like a starfish. We have Wolverine. It heals itself.
- 1:14:44Speaker 2: And that's why people can donate a part of your
- 1:14:47Speaker 2: liver to somebody else. And once I found that out,
- 1:14:50Speaker 2: I did a deep dive into what the liver is
- 1:14:52Speaker 2: and what it does. And it's essentially, if I remember correctly,
- 1:14:56Speaker 2: it's our body's big filter. Yeah. But here's the thing.
- 1:14:58Speaker 2: If you need a kidney, kidney is the one I
- 1:15:01Speaker 2: can think of the most. You want a waiting list.
- 1:15:03Speaker 2: We know this because David Crosby for years was on
- 1:15:06Speaker 2: a kidney waiting list, and he paid money to jump
- 1:15:08Speaker 2: the line, and people lost their mind over it. That's
- 1:15:12Speaker 2: kind of what I'm going with. You get on a list,
- 1:15:14Speaker 2: you could literally die on that list waiting for a
- 1:15:17Speaker 2: donated organ that's a match. But if you had a
- 1:15:20Speaker 2: healthy kidney, and there was a list that said, okay,
- 1:15:24Speaker 2: this is the blood type, this is a match, you
- 1:15:25Speaker 2: go and take the test, and you're a match, can
- 1:15:27Speaker 2: you put that thing up there? Like, hey, highest bidder,
- 1:15:29Speaker 2: I'm going to auction this kidney off.
- 1:15:31Speaker 3: Imagine Facebook marketplaces.
- 1:15:33Speaker 2: I'm going to auction this kidney off to the highest bidder.
- 1:15:36Speaker 2: I mean, why wouldn't you be able to do that?
- 1:15:39Speaker 4: So, no, you cannot legally sell your kidney in almost
- 1:15:42Speaker 4: every country in the world.
- 1:15:44Speaker 3: Take a guess.
- 1:15:45Speaker 4: Of the one country, the only nation where buying and
- 1:15:49Speaker 4: selling a kidney is legal and regulated by the government.
- 1:15:52Speaker 2: North Korea.
- 1:15:52Speaker 3: North Korea. What say you?
- 1:15:54Speaker 2: Oh, this could get racist. No, because it's got to
- 1:15:58Speaker 2: be a government that is in complete control of all
- 1:16:01Speaker 2: of the rules and laws. I mean, it can't be Russia.
- 1:16:04Speaker 2: There's no way possible.
- 1:16:05Speaker 3: So you're North Korea. You're Russia. It's so current.
- 1:16:14Speaker 2: It's so current. Oh, Venezuela. No. No. It's so current.
- 1:16:21Speaker 4: Oh, dude.
- 1:16:21Speaker 12: Canada?
- 1:16:21Speaker 3: It's so current.
- 1:16:23Speaker 2: Oh, Canada. No.
- 1:16:25Speaker 3: They're too nice, eh?
- 1:16:27Speaker 2: Current. Are you saying the word current for a reason?
- 1:16:29Speaker 3: Yeah, as in Iran as the only country in the.
- 1:16:33Speaker 4: World where selling a kidney is legal and regulated by
- 1:16:36Speaker 4: the government in the United States, the United Kingdom, and
- 1:16:39Speaker 4: nearly all other nations. Organ commercialism is strictly illegal under
- 1:16:44Speaker 4: laws like the National Organ Transplant Act. And I would imagine, Jack,
- 1:16:48Speaker 4: it's something you said earlier. It takes away the incentive
- 1:16:51Speaker 4: to monetize either your organs or your children's organs.
- 1:16:55Speaker 2: But we do this. We monetize blood and plasma. We
- 1:16:58Speaker 2: monetize semen.
- 1:16:59Speaker 3: You don't sell your blood.
- 1:17:01Speaker 2: You sell your plasma, do you not? You can sell
- 1:17:04Speaker 2: your plasma. You can sell your semen, can you not?
- 1:17:07Speaker 3: I don't know how that works.
- 1:17:09Speaker 2: You can, 100%. Jimmy knows. We'll take his word for it.
- 1:17:13Speaker 2: And I'll say this to explain that. How you like
- 1:17:15Speaker 2: my watch? All right. You told me I could sell
- 1:17:19Speaker 2: that stuff. You can, dude. I could be a billionaire. No,
- 1:17:22Speaker 2: but the thing is.
- 1:17:22Speaker 3: Just give him your socks.
- 1:17:23Speaker 2: I'm a hero. The point is, is you can. There
- 1:17:27Speaker 2: are parts of you that you can sell that other
- 1:17:30Speaker 2: people benefit to. Why can't it be that? If I
- 1:17:33Speaker 2: was done on my luck, I'd run out of money.
- 1:17:35Speaker 2: I was in a worse pace ever. I was going
- 1:17:37Speaker 2: to go broke. I was going to be indigent. My
- 1:17:38Speaker 2: family was going to be on the street.
- 1:17:40Speaker 3: That's why.
- 1:17:40Speaker 2: And I have a super healthy kidney.
- 1:17:42Speaker 3: That's why. That's why. That's why.
- 1:17:44Speaker 2: You have to help me out here. It's saving people
- 1:17:47Speaker 2: from poor decisions. Yes.
- 1:17:49Speaker 4: Or people being kidnapped and having their kidneys taken. It literally–
- 1:17:53Speaker 4: it would monetize– In the most horrible way.
- 1:17:56Speaker 5: Well, kidneys are stolen all the time. Every weekend, someone
- 1:18:00Speaker 5: wakes up in a bathtub.
- 1:18:02Speaker 3: Covered in ice with a note that says.
- 1:18:03Speaker 2: Call 911.
- 1:18:05Speaker 3: Exactly. I've heard that story.
- 1:18:06Speaker 2: Every weekend that happens.
- 1:18:07Speaker 3: I know.
- 1:18:08Speaker 2: You have to go to the place. I mean, it's
- 1:18:09Speaker 2: not like somebody can walk up and go, I got
- 1:18:11Speaker 2: this kidney in a box with some ice. I mean,
- 1:18:13Speaker 2: it's not like a drug dealer. You're pulling the coat back.
- 1:18:15Speaker 2: Come on, Jimmy. It's an igloo cooler.
- 1:18:17Speaker 3: It could end up being like that, though.
- 1:18:19Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 1:18:19Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 1:18:20Speaker 3: He's great at financial incentive.
- 1:18:22Speaker 2: Jimmy needs a kidney, and he's number 17 on the list. Right.
- 1:18:25Speaker 2: I want to donate. I can donate directly to him, though, right? No,
- 1:18:29Speaker 2: you cannot do that.
- 1:18:30Speaker 3: I don't believe so.
- 1:18:31Speaker 2: You donate to the foundation, and the next in line
- 1:18:34Speaker 2: gets your kidney. The next person is a match for you. Well,
- 1:18:36Speaker 2: I don't want them to have it. A family member, right? Yeah.
- 1:18:39Speaker 2: Because I had a friend who saw the bottom of
- 1:18:41Speaker 2: every bag in Miami, and he lost the kidney. And
- 1:18:43Speaker 2: then he had like his dad or uncle give him
- 1:18:46Speaker 2: a kidney.
- 1:18:47Speaker 3: Yeah, I had that. No, we had a situation as well.
- 1:18:50Speaker 2: We had a person that worked on this radio station
- 1:18:52Speaker 2: at one point get a kidney from a listener.
- 1:18:55Speaker 3: Wow, now that's altruistic.
- 1:18:58Speaker 2: Is that like a rumor? So if he's not number
- 1:19:00Speaker 2: one on the list, how does that happen? Yeah, that's
- 1:19:02Speaker 2: a very good point. I'm actually kind of making your
- 1:19:04Speaker 2: point for you.
- 1:19:04Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, yeah.
- 1:19:05Speaker 2: What's happening? Maybe he gave him some radio swag. Hey,
- 1:19:08Speaker 2: you guys dump that real quick?
- 1:19:12Speaker 3: He got a real radio t-shirt, dude. That's worth a kid.
- 1:19:14Speaker 2: Hey, you want to see TSO? No offense to any
- 1:19:17Speaker 2: of our listeners. And I really do mean this. No
- 1:19:20Speaker 2: offense to our listeners. What a great joke.
- 1:19:22Speaker 3: Are you saying you don't want T-Bag's kidney?
- 1:19:24Speaker 2: I don't trust a single kidney, I think, from any
- 1:19:26Speaker 2: of our listeners. Oh, come on. Oh, come on. What's
- 1:19:28Speaker 2: wrong with that? You, Eric Keller? No, no, no. He's bourbon.
- 1:19:33Speaker 2: He loves brown liquor. You're not looking for his liver.
- 1:19:36Speaker 2: You're looking for his kidney. Does that not get affected
- 1:19:39Speaker 2: by alcohol?
- 1:19:40Speaker 4: Everything gets affected by alcohol.
- 1:19:43Speaker 3: Jinx, buy me a Coke. That's another brown liquor.
- 1:19:45Speaker 2: That I can mix with Jack.
- 1:19:46Speaker 3: There you go.
- 1:19:47Speaker 2: Or rum. I don't think there's a single, yeah, organ
- 1:19:50Speaker 2: donation that I would take from any listener that I've met.
- 1:19:53Speaker 2: And that's fine. It's my body. It's my temple.
- 1:19:56Speaker 1: Right, right.
- 1:19:56Speaker 2: You just insulted thousands of people. One swoop. They don't
- 1:20:00Speaker 2: want my kidney. If I offer you a million dollars
- 1:20:02Speaker 2: for it, for my kidney. A million dollars for your kidney.
- 1:20:05Speaker 2: Open me up now.
- 1:20:06Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:20:06Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. But that's the problem. Do you
- 1:20:08Speaker 2: want to live in that world? I do want to
- 1:20:10Speaker 2: live in that world. You don't want to live in
- 1:20:11Speaker 2: that world. No, you don't want to live in that world.
- 1:20:12Speaker 11: I do.
- 1:20:12Speaker 2: With a good kidney, I do. There's blood everywhere in
- 1:20:15Speaker 2: the streets.
- 1:20:16Speaker 3: It's Halloween Horror Nights 24-7.
- 1:20:17Speaker 2: We're not doing it at a Wawa outside table.
- 1:20:21Speaker 3: But you don't know that.
- 1:20:22Speaker 4: It's no different than other medical procedures where you know
- 1:20:24Speaker 4: they did them in back alleys if you paid a
- 1:20:26Speaker 4: little price.
- 1:20:27Speaker 2: This is all regulated by the government. It's a government
- 1:20:29Speaker 2: auction site. You sign up. You go, look, I'm 58.
- 1:20:33Speaker 3: Yes, I am just as disturbed by this amount of
- 1:20:36Speaker 3: thought as you are.
- 1:20:37Speaker 2: I've got a kidney with mild disease. It's got a
- 1:20:40Speaker 2: few miles on it. This is going to get you
- 1:20:42Speaker 2: probably at least 75.
- 1:20:43Speaker 3: Okay, you're not selling a car.
- 1:20:45Speaker 5: And so someone texts in and it says you can
- 1:20:47Speaker 5: donate directly to a friend.
- 1:20:49Speaker 2: So I guess you're right. I could not give Jimmy
- 1:20:51Speaker 2: my kidney. That's why you didn't invite him to my wedding. 407-916-1041.
- 1:20:56Speaker 10: Text 77031.
- 1:20:56Speaker 2: Back in a sec.
- 1:21:07Speaker 7: My sister just went through this with her liver transplant.
- 1:21:11Speaker 7: While you are on a list, you are not sitting
- 1:21:14Speaker 7: in a numbered line waiting for your time to come.
- 1:21:17Speaker 7: You are waiting for the proper organ to come up.
- 1:21:20Speaker 7: You are first in line for the one that matches
- 1:21:23Speaker 7: what you need. You're not waiting for your number to
- 1:21:26Speaker 7: be called. You can also make a direct person to
- 1:21:30Speaker 7: person donation. My sister's liver was donated by one of
- 1:21:34Speaker 7: her husband's employee's brother who passed away knowing her story.
- 1:21:40Speaker 7: He was a match and an organ donor and requested
- 1:21:43Speaker 7: that his liver be donated to her.
- 1:21:46Speaker 2: So it can be done.
- 1:21:49Speaker 10: Shots fired, Ross. My lungs are in the perfect condition,
- 1:21:55Speaker 10: my man.
- 1:21:57Speaker 2: My kidneys, liver... My man took it personally. Never had
- 1:22:02Speaker 2: him tested, though. My man took it personally. Derek!
- 1:22:06Speaker 10: I got an organ for you.
- 1:22:08Speaker 3: Hey!
- 1:22:09Speaker 2: Oh, death by cheese stick. Yeah. All right, welcome back
- 1:22:13Speaker 2: to the Jim Colbert Show, Real Radio 104.1. I am Jim.
- 1:22:16Speaker 2: There's Deb.
- 1:22:16Speaker 3: Hello. Jack.
- 1:22:18Speaker 2: And Ross here as well. It's all true. As we
- 1:22:21Speaker 2: broadcast live from Universal Studios, Universal Orlando Resorts. It is
- 1:22:26Speaker 2: 35th year of Halloween Horror Nights. We love coming out.
- 1:22:29Speaker 2: and helping spread the word about how much fun Halloween
- 1:22:32Speaker 2: Horror Nights is, what a great deal it is to
- 1:22:33Speaker 2: come out and spend an entire night just kind of
- 1:22:36Speaker 2: having a good time, going through some haunted houses, hanging
- 1:22:38Speaker 2: out with a friend, having some cocktails. Just a blast, man.
- 1:22:41Speaker 2: And we would urge you to come out and enjoy it.
- 1:22:44Speaker 2: We end November 1st. You have plenty of time to
- 1:22:46Speaker 2: come out and enjoy the park. I've always said this,
- 1:22:48Speaker 2: and I really believe this, is that here in Orlando,
- 1:22:51Speaker 2: we don't get seasons.
- 1:22:52Speaker 4: No.
- 1:22:53Speaker 2: But we don't get brown leaves. You don't see a
- 1:22:56Speaker 2: leaf turn yellow, but you will see a guy in
- 1:22:58Speaker 2: a mask try to scare your girl. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:23:02Speaker 2: You will get that.
- 1:23:02Speaker 3: Welcome to Central Florida.
- 1:23:04Speaker 2: I got a question for you guys.
- 1:23:06Speaker 3: Uh-oh. Is this another organ we have to sell?
- 1:23:08Speaker 2: This is not another organ to sell, I promise. I
- 1:23:10Speaker 2: just want to ask this question because I thought about today. Obviously,
- 1:23:13Speaker 2: November is coming up. Voting will be a thing. That's
- 1:23:16Speaker 2: on a lot of people's minds when you read the news,
- 1:23:18Speaker 2: of course. It's a lot about the midterms, what's going
- 1:23:20Speaker 2: to happen during the midterms, and blah, blah, blah. So
- 1:23:22Speaker 2: I thought about this today, and I do not know.
- 1:23:23Speaker 2: And I did not look this up. We have the
- 1:23:25Speaker 2: smartest audience in all of Orlando by a million.
- 1:23:28Speaker 3: See, I'm not the only one who says it.
- 1:23:30Speaker 2: Here is my question. It's not the organs. Let's say
- 1:23:32Speaker 2: that you get arrested for doing something stupid, and it's
- 1:23:35Speaker 2: just like maybe drinking or whatever, and you get thrown
- 1:23:37Speaker 2: in jail. How do you vote in jail? You don't.
- 1:23:42Speaker 2: You do. Do you? Really? I think it has to
- 1:23:45Speaker 2: be a felony and you have to be in prison
- 1:23:48Speaker 2: to not vote. I think if you're in county jail,
- 1:23:50Speaker 2: I think it does not violate your right to vote.
- 1:23:53Speaker 2: You still have the right to vote. How do they
- 1:23:55Speaker 2: do that? How do people in jail vote?
- 1:23:59Speaker 5: It seems to me they would do the same way
- 1:24:01Speaker 5: the military does and they could use a mail-in ballot.
- 1:24:03Speaker 5: It'd have to be that, right? But they'd have to
- 1:24:05Speaker 5: be the one. like the police would be responsible for
- 1:24:07Speaker 5: delivering it.
- 1:24:09Speaker 2: Is that something you think they do?
- 1:24:10Speaker 4: People can vote, but it's very challenging. As you can imagine,
- 1:24:14Speaker 4: you can't get out to go to your polling place.
- 1:24:16Speaker 2: You can't, and that's why. But a misdemeanor does not
- 1:24:20Speaker 2: take away your right to vote. Now, and I don't
- 1:24:22Speaker 2: know how they look at that. If you're incarcerated, you're incarcerated.
- 1:24:25Speaker 2: I don't think they're going to let you out of jail. Hey,
- 1:24:27Speaker 2: go vote and come right back, okay? They're not going
- 1:24:29Speaker 2: to do that. But they can't stop you from voting, right?
- 1:24:33Speaker 2: Just because you're in jail, I mean, I think they can.
- 1:24:36Speaker 4: Well, yeah, because how are you going to get your ballot?
- 1:24:38Speaker 4: How are you going to know that your ballot has
- 1:24:40Speaker 4: been delivered to your local election supervisor's office in time
- 1:24:44Speaker 4: for it to be counted?
- 1:24:45Speaker 2: That's kind of my point.
- 1:24:46Speaker 4: And my point is that, yes, while you may be
- 1:24:49Speaker 4: able to do it, I would imagine that on the
- 1:24:51Speaker 4: duties of jail guards and other managing members, that's the
- 1:24:56Speaker 4: last thing they're worried about.
- 1:24:57Speaker 5: Unless each state, the voting... Office in each state sends
- 1:25:04Speaker 5: someone to deal with that.
- 1:25:05Speaker 4: I've never heard of a liaison from an election supervisor's
- 1:25:09Speaker 4: office going to a local jail to make sure that
- 1:25:11Speaker 4: eligible voters get their ballots.
- 1:25:13Speaker 3: I've never heard of that. 35 years of reporting.
- 1:25:15Speaker 2: Yeah, because you have to have your ID, right? You
- 1:25:17Speaker 2: have to have your ID to get your ballot or
- 1:25:20Speaker 2: something or no? Yeah. I don't know.
- 1:25:24Speaker 5: It's a whole voter ID thing. I always have to
- 1:25:26Speaker 5: show my license when I go.
- 1:25:27Speaker 2: Yeah, you have to be a registered voter in that county.
- 1:25:30Speaker 2: And I think the license is just to verify who
- 1:25:32Speaker 2: you are. So they verify that you're on the voter
- 1:25:34Speaker 2: registration for that particular county and that precinct. But I
- 1:25:40Speaker 2: know for a fact that a misdemeanor does not stop
- 1:25:43Speaker 2: you from voting. That's only a felony. You lose your
- 1:25:45Speaker 2: right to vote. Yeah, but a cell will. Yeah, I know.
- 1:25:48Speaker 2: But do they make amends for that? Because those people
- 1:25:52Speaker 2: still are Americans. They still have rights. They're only going
- 1:25:54Speaker 2: to be in jail for a short period of time.
- 1:25:56Speaker 2: And missing a vote would be like a big deal.
- 1:25:59Speaker 2: I mean, I know it's their responsibility. Don't get me wrong.
- 1:26:02Speaker 2: I'm not saying that they should let people out. I
- 1:26:03Speaker 2: just wonder if they allot for that. No.
- 1:26:06Speaker 3: So in 1974, the U.S.
- 1:26:08Speaker 4: Supreme Court ruled that people who are held in jail
- 1:26:10Speaker 4: and haven't been convicted of a crime maintain their right
- 1:26:14Speaker 4: to vote. However, because the court did not require jails
- 1:26:18Speaker 4: to provide people with right in ballots, only a tiny
- 1:26:22Speaker 4: percentage of incarcerated people who are eligible to vote actually do.
- 1:26:27Speaker 3: And this is from Veris.org.
- 1:26:29Speaker 4: Because again, in the jail mindset, they're... I mean that's just–
- 1:26:35Speaker 4: they're not concerned with it.
- 1:26:37Speaker 2: I understand, but for every person who's in there for
- 1:26:39Speaker 2: DUI or doing something stupid, there could be somebody in
- 1:26:41Speaker 2: there for doing something that maybe just wasn't– just a
- 1:26:44Speaker 2: bad decision, but they're still upstanding citizens. I– In a
- 1:26:49Speaker 2: perfect world, yes, I would love for them to vote.
- 1:26:51Speaker 2: But here's the thing. Don't think that juice is worth
- 1:26:53Speaker 2: that squeeze.
- 1:26:54Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:26:54Speaker 2: If I was a security guard and a prisoner was like,
- 1:26:57Speaker 2: policy question real fast. Who do you think? I would
- 1:27:02Speaker 2: be like, what are you doing, man? You're in timeout. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:27:07Speaker 2: I want as many people to vote as much as possible.
- 1:27:11Speaker 15: But.
- 1:27:12Speaker 2: I just don't want to put that on any security
- 1:27:14Speaker 2: guard or warden's responsibility. Yeah, you wouldn't want the prisoner
- 1:27:17Speaker 2: or the person in jail having the right to say, well,
- 1:27:19Speaker 2: it's your fault. My ballot didn't make it to the
- 1:27:21Speaker 2: voting booth.
- 1:27:23Speaker 4: So even if people who are incarcerated pretrial are aware
- 1:27:26Speaker 4: that they can still vote, the logistical obstacles are often insurmountable.
- 1:27:30Speaker 3: Again, this is from Veris.org.
- 1:27:32Speaker 4: In 2022, the Prison Policy Initiative could locate how many
- 1:27:36Speaker 4: jails across the entire country that offered in-person voting. So
- 1:27:41Speaker 4: keep in mind, this is an article from, I believe
- 1:27:45Speaker 4: it's 2024. At that time, they said on election day,
- 1:27:48Speaker 4: approximately 448,000 legally innocent people will be held in more
- 1:27:53Speaker 4: than 3,000 local jails across the United States. So how
- 1:27:57Speaker 4: many out of all of those jails allow in-person voting?
- 1:28:01Speaker 2: 17. I'll go 12. You're saying it like it's not many.
- 1:28:07Speaker 1: Two.
- 1:28:08Speaker 2: Seven.
- 1:28:09Speaker 3: Wow. Seven jails.
- 1:28:11Speaker 2: We split.
- 1:28:11Speaker 7: Wow.
- 1:28:12Speaker 3: Unbelievable.
- 1:28:12Speaker 4: So again, to Ross's end, the penal system is one
- 1:28:18Speaker 4: of the most underfunded. You look at prisons in North Florida,
- 1:28:22Speaker 4: they're losing employees left and right to Walmart.
- 1:28:25Speaker 2: And then you want those same people to turn around
- 1:28:26Speaker 2: and care about policy?
- 1:28:29Speaker 3: Your ballot?
- 1:28:29Speaker 2: To the people who aren't the best at following rules? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well,
- 1:28:33Speaker 2: I just was thinking out loud. That's all.
- 1:28:35Speaker 7: All right. 407-916-1041.
- 1:28:35Speaker 5: Text us.
- 1:28:38Speaker 2: 77031. So we talked about the Wheel of Fortune guy
- 1:28:41Speaker 2: yesterday a little bit, right? Not on the show. Oh,
- 1:28:44Speaker 2: we did not? Yeah, we did. Didn't we? I thought
- 1:28:46Speaker 2: we talked about the guy from Wheel of Fortune who
- 1:28:49Speaker 2: got booted off the show.
- 1:28:50Speaker 4: Maybe you did on Wednesday because I've only heard about it.
- 1:28:53Speaker 2: I remember us talking about it in the studio. I
- 1:28:55Speaker 2: don't remember being on the air. Oh, man, I thought
- 1:28:57Speaker 2: for sure we talked about this. I don't even know
- 1:28:58Speaker 2: where I am right now. Yeah, yeah. So the Wheel
- 1:29:01Speaker 2: of Fortune's announcer, this guy. Yes, I do remember this. Yeah, yeah,
- 1:29:04Speaker 2: the Wheel of Fortune announcer. TMZ, he was on a plane.
- 1:29:07Speaker 2: His name's Jim Thornton. Yeah, we did talk about this.
- 1:29:09Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:29:09Speaker 2: Okay, all right. I don't remember anything. I'm getting gas
- 1:29:12Speaker 2: out of here and losing my mind.
- 1:29:14Speaker 3: I was not here for that.
- 1:29:15Speaker 2: Gas lit? Gas lit. You're right. You're right. I'm here.
- 1:29:22Speaker 3: Corrected by that.
- 1:29:23Speaker 2: Oh, my God. I said gas lighted. Yeah, you did.
- 1:29:28Speaker 2: It's a Friday. So this guy, Jim Thornton, he is
- 1:29:31Speaker 2: the announcer for Wheel of Fortune. He was suspended. Now,
- 1:29:34Speaker 2: the thing that was weird about it, it was something
- 1:29:36Speaker 2: that happened on an airplane, right? A woman made a
- 1:29:40Speaker 2: complaint and the pilots called ahead to the airport when
- 1:29:44Speaker 2: he landed and got off the plane. He was confronted
- 1:29:47Speaker 2: by two TSA officers who had a conversation with him
- 1:29:50Speaker 2: and then they let him go. No charges, no nothing.
- 1:29:54Speaker 2: They never talked about what was going on. So we
- 1:29:56Speaker 2: didn't really know. That's the reason I brought the story.
- 1:29:58Speaker 2: I was like, what could he have possibly done? And
- 1:30:00Speaker 2: we kind of threw that out. People were like, well,
- 1:30:02Speaker 2: it could have been this, could have been that. Now
- 1:30:03Speaker 2: we know what it is. I guessed weed pen. You
- 1:30:07Speaker 2: guessed weed pen. Do you remember what you guessed?
- 1:30:09Speaker 4: I was not here for this conversation. So I'm going
- 1:30:11Speaker 4: to say groping her while she was asleep.
- 1:30:13Speaker 2: I think that's probably the answer I would have thought,
- 1:30:15Speaker 2: or maybe manipulated himself while she sat there.
- 1:30:18Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought it was he kind of had contact
- 1:30:21Speaker 5: with her. And yeah, Jimmy, you said like, you know,
- 1:30:24Speaker 5: punching the clown under the blanket.
- 1:30:25Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:30:26Speaker 2: Yeah, like a mile high club with way more sadness.
- 1:30:30Speaker 2: Not Jack the Clown. No, no, no, no, no. It
- 1:30:33Speaker 2: wasn't that. I think I actually also guessed what it
- 1:30:36Speaker 2: could be, which was what was this dude watching on
- 1:30:39Speaker 2: his laptop? Yeah, you did mention watching porn. So that's
- 1:30:43Speaker 2: exactly what it was. Whoa. That's the allegation of what
- 1:30:47Speaker 2: it was. It says new details are emerging that led
- 1:30:53Speaker 2: to longtime Wheel of Fortune announcer Jim Thornton being questioned
- 1:30:56Speaker 2: at authorities by LAX. And by the way, the show
- 1:30:58Speaker 2: said that they were recasting this part. It wasn't like
- 1:31:00Speaker 2: they were going, hey, we're not sure. They're just going,
- 1:31:03Speaker 2: we're blowing this cat out because if any of this
- 1:31:05Speaker 2: is true. Now, here's what happened. It says that, this guy,
- 1:31:09Speaker 2: it claims that he was looking at a website that
- 1:31:12Speaker 2: had some verbiage on it. When the woman looked over
- 1:31:14Speaker 2: at his website, It had some words down there, and
- 1:31:19Speaker 2: it said, according to photos, she took photos of it,
- 1:31:22Speaker 2: participants in the conversations that this guy was talking to
- 1:31:25Speaker 2: and having on his laptop said, one message described as
- 1:31:28Speaker 2: a restaurant having a, quote, nice hangout for kids with
- 1:31:31Speaker 2: a couple of cute boys and a hot little girl. Oh,
- 1:31:35Speaker 2: there you go. The other message said, yeah, it's like
- 1:31:37Speaker 2: an all-you-can-eat boyfay. And then the separate reference to CP
- 1:31:46Speaker 2: led the passenger to document the screen and believe that
- 1:31:48Speaker 2: meant child pornography. The timestamps on the photograph suggested Thornton
- 1:31:52Speaker 2: remained on the site for nearly an hour. He claims...
- 1:31:57Speaker 2: Let me make sure I get this right.
- 1:31:59Speaker 3: It was, I just entered the wrong URL.
- 1:32:01Speaker 2: That's exactly what he's basically saying, that he went to
- 1:32:03Speaker 2: a website. When he clicked it, put him through to
- 1:32:05Speaker 2: that website. He didn't mean to go there. By the way,
- 1:32:07Speaker 2: he was wearing a Wheel of Fortune jacket at the time.
- 1:32:10Speaker 3: He was wearing a Wheel of Fortune jacket.
- 1:32:12Speaker 2: Was he not?
- 1:32:12Speaker 3: Yeah, he was.
- 1:32:13Speaker 2: No. Yep.
- 1:32:13Speaker 4: So he could have had a little bit of anonymity
- 1:32:15Speaker 4: if he just rolled.
- 1:32:17Speaker 2: Yeah. According to, I guess, his spokesperson or lawyer, the
- 1:32:20Speaker 2: veteran announcer accidentally ended up in the chat room while
- 1:32:23Speaker 2: pursuing work related to suicide prevention advocacy, a cause he
- 1:32:28Speaker 2: became involved with after losing a close family member to
- 1:32:31Speaker 2: suicide two years ago. Hart explained that Thornton regularly visited
- 1:32:37Speaker 2: 988lifeline. org and its related support forum, and then an acquaintance
- 1:32:41Speaker 2: allegedly directed him to a different website, lifeline.chat, which apparently
- 1:32:46Speaker 2: has some pretty sketchy stuff on there. He was on
- 1:32:50Speaker 2: the site for 57 minutes saying he was trying to
- 1:32:52Speaker 2: help people with suicidal thoughts and was mistakenly sent to
- 1:32:56Speaker 2: this site.
- 1:32:58Speaker 1: What?
- 1:32:59Speaker 3: I don't know. Have you seen his photos?
- 1:33:01Speaker 2: Well, the problem is this.
- 1:33:02Speaker 3: He has no lips. You can't trust anyone without lips.
- 1:33:05Speaker 2: The problem is you... I mean, if there's even a hint,
- 1:33:08Speaker 2: I mean, they have photographs. There's no question he was
- 1:33:11Speaker 2: on it. He even admits he was on the site.
- 1:33:13Speaker 2: I mean, the lady took still shots of his screen.
- 1:33:16Speaker 2: No question what happened happened.
- 1:33:18Speaker 4: Which is why it doesn't, it completely explains why they're
- 1:33:22Speaker 4: not even going through the, well, we don't know.
- 1:33:24Speaker 3: They're just cutting ties. Because again, they're not rolling the dice.
- 1:33:27Speaker 4: A mistake is, oh my God, I didn't mean to
- 1:33:29Speaker 4: get on this site. And 20 seconds later, you're off
- 1:33:31Speaker 4: that site.
- 1:33:32Speaker 2: Right, right, right.
- 1:33:33Speaker 3: 57 minutes is hard to say. I mean, do you
- 1:33:35Speaker 3: guys remember Pete Townsend?
- 1:33:37Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
- 1:33:37Speaker 3: Guitarist for The Who.
- 1:33:38Speaker 4: When he got caught visiting child pornography sites, he had
- 1:33:43Speaker 4: told investigators it was because he was investigating a documentary
- 1:33:46Speaker 4: that he was getting ready to write because he himself
- 1:33:49Speaker 4: had been a victim of child sex abuse. And he
- 1:33:51Speaker 4: barely skated away from what could have been a life
- 1:33:55Speaker 4: ruining situation.
- 1:33:57Speaker 2: Yeah. They're even scrapping shows that they recorded with him
- 1:33:59Speaker 2: 14 weeks ago. Yeah, they're taking them off. They're literally
- 1:34:02Speaker 2: CGing this guy out of life. No way. It said
- 1:34:05Speaker 2: The Blast reported that roughly a month's worth of episodes
- 1:34:08Speaker 2: have been taped ahead of the September 14th premiere, leaving
- 1:34:10Speaker 2: the production team with little time to react once the
- 1:34:13Speaker 2: investigation began. And what's so weird to me is that...
- 1:34:15Speaker 2: They're even removing his voice. There's no images, right? There
- 1:34:19Speaker 2: are no images. It's a chat. It was a chat, yeah.
- 1:34:22Speaker 2: That is just absolutely filled with monstrous... Yeah, that's exactly
- 1:34:27Speaker 2: what it was. That's a first. Yeah. I don't think
- 1:34:30Speaker 2: I've ever heard that. And I was not expecting that
- 1:34:33Speaker 2: to be the outcome.
- 1:34:34Speaker 15: Yeah.
- 1:34:34Speaker 3: I think I would have been less disturbed if he
- 1:34:37Speaker 3: had actually tried to grope her.
- 1:34:39Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:34:42Speaker 5: But it's the easy move for the company. Wheel of
- 1:34:44Speaker 5: Fortune being, okay, we cut our ties.
- 1:34:47Speaker 2: We move on.
- 1:34:48Speaker 5: They get a new voiceover guy, especially with voiceover.
- 1:34:53Speaker 3: It's not the same as you're on camera.
- 1:34:55Speaker 2: It is not.
- 1:34:56Speaker 3: Yeah. You're sitting in a booth.
- 1:34:57Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:34:58Speaker 3: For the most part, you are anonymous.
- 1:35:00Speaker 2: Yeah. It says here the attorney stressed that the website
- 1:35:02Speaker 2: in question was legal and stated there is no unlawful
- 1:35:04Speaker 2: child pornography. Unlawful? Yeah. There is no unlawful child pornography
- 1:35:09Speaker 2: or any other pedophilic content. And my client never viewed, downloaded,
- 1:35:13Speaker 2: or consumed any child pornography, whether that on a commercial flight,
- 1:35:17Speaker 2: on May, or any other time. Now, this would be
- 1:35:19Speaker 2: easy to prove. Obviously, if this guy wanted to kind
- 1:35:21Speaker 2: of prove that he was clean, you just open up
- 1:35:23Speaker 2: your laptops, all your devices, and say roll through it.
- 1:35:25Speaker 2: You know, this was a legitimate accident. That's the only
- 1:35:28Speaker 2: thing I could say that would even clear this guy
- 1:35:30Speaker 2: a little bit. But we don't know that this wasn't
- 1:35:32Speaker 2: the first time he jumped on, and this was his
- 1:35:34Speaker 2: beginning into that. Related, unrelated question.
- 1:35:37Speaker 5: If Ross has a picture of a naked two-year-old on
- 1:35:42Speaker 5: his phone, is that child porn?
- 1:35:44Speaker 2: If it's his son, no. What if it's not his son?
- 1:35:49Speaker 2: Why am I the example here? We know that Max Miller,
- 1:35:55Speaker 2: who is a Republican representative right now, Bernie Moreno, who
- 1:35:59Speaker 2: is also another Republican senator, he was with his daughter,
- 1:36:02Speaker 2: and they're going through a really contentious divorce right now.
- 1:36:05Speaker 2: And she contends that he put a picture of their
- 1:36:07Speaker 2: daughter up online and his daughter was nude. And they're
- 1:36:10Speaker 2: basically coming at him for that kind of thing. Because,
- 1:36:13Speaker 2: I mean, she's two years old.
- 1:36:15Speaker 12: Right.
- 1:36:15Speaker 4: This is the tricky new world that we live in.
- 1:36:17Speaker 4: The halftime photos you used to take of your kids.
- 1:36:20Speaker 2: Right.
- 1:36:21Speaker 5: But if it's your daughter on your phone or your
- 1:36:23Speaker 5: child on your phone, that's not child porn.
- 1:36:26Speaker 2: But why Ross has it on his phone, we don't
- 1:36:29Speaker 2: know why. What are you doing? I mean, is it? No, no, no.
- 1:36:33Speaker 2: I can't answer. If I answered that, yes and you're
- 1:36:37Speaker 2: sick little games. I love your relationship. Let me tell
- 1:36:41Speaker 2: you something, though. You bring up a very interesting point.
- 1:36:43Speaker 2: What if you have a photograph of your own kids
- 1:36:45Speaker 2: on your phone and they are nude, they are your children,
- 1:36:48Speaker 2: but how they're presented in the photograph is sketchy? You
- 1:36:51Speaker 2: know what I'm saying? What if it's not just a
- 1:36:54Speaker 2: two-year-old playing in the bathtub, it's a two-year-old doing something
- 1:36:56Speaker 2: or in a pose that seems to be very suggestive?
- 1:36:59Speaker 2: I would think even if it's your own child at
- 1:37:01Speaker 2: that point, you had to question that. You know what
- 1:37:03Speaker 2: I'm saying? That brought up a great point. Just talking
- 1:37:05Speaker 2: about those, like, innocent, wholesome bath time photos. And I've
- 1:37:09Speaker 2: had those same baths just in the last year where
- 1:37:12Speaker 2: I'm like, this is the cutest thing.
- 1:37:13Speaker 4: My mom has a photo of me and my brother
- 1:37:15Speaker 4: in the bathtub the night before we left to fly
- 1:37:17Speaker 4: to Columbia to see my grandmother.
- 1:37:19Speaker 3: I mean, yes, Jack, I will bring it in.
- 1:37:20Speaker 7: No, don't.
- 1:37:21Speaker 3: I've got pigtails and everything.
- 1:37:22Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. How do you like the joke, Jack?
- 1:37:25Speaker 2: My sister pooped in the tub once.
- 1:37:27Speaker 3: My brother did that and then played with it.
- 1:37:29Speaker 2: Okay, guys, we're talking about child porn.
- 1:37:31Speaker 11: I screamed.
- 1:37:32Speaker 2: And then the big brown shark.
- 1:37:37Speaker 10: Came.
- 1:37:37Speaker 3: Every sibling has done that in the tub.
- 1:37:39Speaker 2: You were going to ask something? I forgot. After the
- 1:37:42Speaker 2: turd in the tub. You ought to get rid of
- 1:37:45Speaker 2: those photos on your phone. But you're right. The wholesome
- 1:37:48Speaker 2: photos that existed back in the 80s.
- 1:37:50Speaker 3: 70s.
- 1:37:50Speaker 7: 70s.
- 1:37:52Speaker 2: And that was a trope, a stereotype for families in
- 1:37:56Speaker 2: the photo book. You put them on the wall. You
- 1:37:58Speaker 2: showed them to your kids' dates. You put them on
- 1:38:00Speaker 2: the wall. I mean, you would invite your girlfriend over,
- 1:38:03Speaker 2: and you're looking through, because it used to be photo albums.
- 1:38:05Speaker 2: It wasn't like a digital flip book back in the day.
- 1:38:07Speaker 2: It was these giant, thick albums, and you would sit
- 1:38:10Speaker 2: there and flip through them with Polaroids of you sitting
- 1:38:11Speaker 2: in the tub with your... Junk out. And you're like, oh, yeah,
- 1:38:15Speaker 2: this is me with my junk out. And it would
- 1:38:16Speaker 2: be no big deal because everybody could have understood that
- 1:38:18Speaker 2: was a cultural thing. You just got pictures taken of
- 1:38:21Speaker 2: you while you were taking a bath.
- 1:38:22Speaker 4: But that's the new challenge for parents right now with
- 1:38:25Speaker 4: the advent of AI and someone able to just scrub
- 1:38:27Speaker 4: your timeline and grab your kids photos. off of your
- 1:38:30Speaker 4: Facebook or your Insta and then do absolutely horrendous things
- 1:38:33Speaker 4: with the images, now you're going to see pictures of
- 1:38:36Speaker 4: parents maybe showing the back of their child's head or
- 1:38:39Speaker 4: maybe a side shot, but no more of the front
- 1:38:41Speaker 4: forward facing first day of school. I mean, these are
- 1:38:45Speaker 4: whole new worries for younger kids.
- 1:38:46Speaker 3: Younger parents with younger children in the age of AI.
- 1:38:49Speaker 5: I saw him warning about it yesterday because of that
- 1:38:51Speaker 5: deepfake technology.
- 1:38:53Speaker 3: Yeah, they're telling parents don't do those photos anymore.
- 1:38:55Speaker 2: That's because Jack goes to those websites. Nice try, porn watcher.
- 1:39:00Speaker 2: The other one is that there was a story today
- 1:39:02Speaker 2: where a judge upheld somebody who created, AI created child
- 1:39:09Speaker 2: sex stuff. And they said it was protected by the
- 1:39:12Speaker 2: First Amendment.
- 1:39:13Speaker 3: Yeah, I believe that is a Midwest case.
- 1:39:16Speaker 2: Yeah, because it wasn't, the people weren't real. So it
- 1:39:19Speaker 2: wasn't actual real child pornography. So they're claiming it's victimless.
- 1:39:23Speaker 2: They're victimless because it's not real. So they don't think
- 1:39:27Speaker 2: it is. And they literally said it's protected by the
- 1:39:30Speaker 2: First Amendment. Now, the judge went on to say it's disgusting.
- 1:39:33Speaker 2: And these are obviously laws that need to be sealed
- 1:39:36Speaker 2: up because there's some gaps in what happens there. But
- 1:39:38Speaker 2: with AI, theoretically, right now where they are, you could
- 1:39:41Speaker 2: create child sex images with AI and you would not
- 1:39:44Speaker 2: go to prison for it.
- 1:39:45Speaker 3: And that's the problem.
- 1:39:46Speaker 4: The laws that we'll put in place for AI today
- 1:39:49Speaker 4: won't match the AI literally of tomorrow.
- 1:39:52Speaker 1: Yeah, right.
- 1:39:52Speaker 4: And legislation already moves so slow that they just have
- 1:39:55Speaker 4: to learn to make laws faster to get ahead of
- 1:39:57Speaker 4: the problem.
- 1:39:59Speaker 2: 407-916-1041. Text us at 77031. Guys, load them up. It's
- 1:40:02Speaker 2: time to do trivia. We'll do that next.

- 1:40:28Speaker 15: Happy Friday, everyone. Ross, did you just say the juice
- 1:40:32Speaker 15: isn't worth the squeeze for a citizen to be able
- 1:40:36Speaker 15: to exercise their right to... while they're in prison and
- 1:40:39Speaker 15: may not be charged with a crime or have not
- 1:40:42Speaker 15: been convicted of a crime?
- 1:40:44Speaker 2: Yeah, I am. I don't think it should be on

- 1:42:46Speaker 2: Can you guys hear me? Yeah, we can. Yeah, we can.
- 1:42:48Speaker 2: How's it going, Bob? Oh, there you are. I'm pretty good. Hey,
- 1:42:51Speaker 2: I have a question real quick. Do I have to
- 1:42:53Speaker 2: delete the photos I have of Jim and Jack in
- 1:42:55Speaker 2: the tub? I don't got to delete those, right? I'm
- 1:42:56Speaker 2: fine with that? No. We're of age. Yeah, yeah. You're good, buddy.
- 1:43:00Speaker 2: All right, very good. All right, buddy. This is a
- 1:43:04Speaker 2: real easy game. Got a question here for you. Four answers.
- 1:43:06Speaker 2: One of these answers is not true. You can find it.
- 1:43:09Speaker 2: We'll send you over to see Jack for something nice
- 1:43:11Speaker 2: for yourself. Are you ready, buddy? Absolutely. Here we go.
- 1:43:14Speaker 2: We are broadcasting live from Universal Studios and Halloween Horror Nights.
- 1:43:18Speaker 2: Here are three fun facts from the world of horror
- 1:43:20Speaker 2: films and one open head wound of a lie.
- 1:43:24Speaker 10: Ew.
- 1:43:24Speaker 13: All right.
- 1:43:25Speaker 2: These are general facts about the horror film industry, buddy.
- 1:43:27Speaker 2: Which one of these is not true? Number one. The
- 1:43:30Speaker 2: very first horror film ever was a French film released
- 1:43:33Speaker 2: in 1904 called House of Devil. Number two, 40% of
- 1:43:38Speaker 2: the Mondo horror classic Faces of Death was fake and staged.
- 1:43:44Speaker 2: Number three, Buffalo Bill's Little Dog and Silence of the
- 1:43:47Speaker 2: Lambs was also in the Burbs and multiple Tim Burton movies.
- 1:43:52Speaker 2: Or lastly, Paranormal Activity is considered the most profitable film
- 1:43:56Speaker 2: across any genre ever, making $ 193 million on a $ 15, 000 budget.
- 1:44:02Speaker 2: Which of those is a lie? I was scarred by
- 1:44:06Speaker 2: these as a kid.
- 1:44:07Speaker 11: I'm 47 now.
- 1:44:08Speaker 2: I'm going to say number two.
- 1:44:09Speaker 7: I think those were all real almost.
- 1:44:11Speaker 2: No, they weren't. 40% of those were fake. Oh, for
- 1:44:15Speaker 2: no way! Yeah, 40% of that movie was staged and fake. Thanks, Casey.
- 1:44:19Speaker 2: Appreciate it. Thank you.
- 1:44:20Speaker 3: So wait, that was Faces of Death?
- 1:44:21Speaker 2: Faces of Death. Almost half that movie was completely fake. Oh,
- 1:44:25Speaker 2: we watched it like it was real, though. The newsreels.
- 1:44:27Speaker 2: The little monkey head in the table? That was one
- 1:44:29Speaker 2: of the fake ones. It was painted cauliflower.
- 1:44:33Speaker 3: No.
- 1:44:33Speaker 2: It was. The stuff that was real in the movie
- 1:44:37Speaker 2: was the newsreel stuff. Like, you know, there's a woman
- 1:44:40Speaker 2: that got shot in the head because a guy had
- 1:44:42Speaker 2: taken her. You know, that was real. But the newsreel
- 1:44:44Speaker 2: stuff was the only thing that was real. Everything, the
- 1:44:46Speaker 2: guy parachuting into the alligator farm, all that was fake.
- 1:44:48Speaker 2: And if you want a great parallel to what is
- 1:44:52Speaker 2: wrong with the world in 2026, I would point to
- 1:44:55Speaker 2: exactly that. When 40% of something is true and 60%
- 1:45:00Speaker 2: of it is false, and then it's just us to
- 1:45:03Speaker 2: figure it out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's literally the problem.
- 1:45:07Speaker 2: All right, Casey, give me a player, buddy. All right.
- 1:45:10Speaker 3: Let's go number two. Matt.
- 1:45:14Speaker 1: Hey, Matt.
- 1:45:15Speaker 14: Hey, Matt.
- 1:45:15Speaker 2: How you doing, buddy? I'm doing great, Jimmy. How you doing?
- 1:45:18Speaker 2: All right, doing good, buddy. We are broadcasting live from
- 1:45:20Speaker 2: Universal Studios for Halloween Horror Nights. These are fun facts
- 1:45:23Speaker 2: about the horror film industry. Which one of these is
- 1:45:25Speaker 2: not true? Number one, the very first horror film was
- 1:45:27Speaker 2: a French film released in 1904 called House of the Devil.
- 1:45:31Speaker 2: Number two, Buffalo Bill's Little Dog and Silence of the
- 1:45:33Speaker 2: Lambs was also in the Burbs and multiple Tim Burton movies.
- 1:45:37Speaker 2: Or lastly, Paranormal Activity is considered the most profitable film
- 1:45:40Speaker 2: across any genre, making $ 193 million on a $ 15, 000 budget.
- 1:45:46Speaker 5: I think that's the last one right there.
- 1:45:49Speaker 2: No, that's absolutely true. Paranormal Activity is considered the most
- 1:45:53Speaker 2: profitable film of all time. Multiple checks there. $ 193 million,
- 1:45:58Speaker 2: and it costs $ 15, 000 to make.
- 1:46:00Speaker 4: I gotta say, those are the scariest movies to me.
- 1:46:03Speaker 2: That first one is jarring. It's really good.
- 1:46:05Speaker 10: It is.
- 1:46:06Speaker 2: And a reminder of you don't need a bajillion dollars.
- 1:46:09Speaker 2: You do not. You need a really good idea and
- 1:46:12Speaker 2: some pretty good actors. And I think the lo-fi added
- 1:46:15Speaker 2: to the horror of it. 100%. All right, Casey, give
- 1:46:17Speaker 2: me a player, buddy. Okay.
- 1:46:22Speaker 9: J.C.
- 1:46:22Speaker 3: 's like, I'm doing enough here, dude. Jason.
- 1:46:25Speaker 2: Jason, very nice. Very appropriate. Jason, what's going on, buddy?
- 1:46:29Speaker 2: I'm feeling magical, Jimmy. I love it, buddy. Oh. You
- 1:46:34Speaker 2: get a 50.
- 1:46:35Speaker 7: You see what I did there?
- 1:46:36Speaker 2: You get a 50-50 shot. You get a 50-50 shot, buddy.
- 1:46:41Speaker 2: We're talking about horror films. Which one of these is
- 1:46:42Speaker 2: not true? Number one, the very first horror film was
- 1:46:44Speaker 2: a French film released in 1904 called House of the Devil.
- 1:46:48Speaker 2: Or lastly... Buffalo Bill's little dog in Silence of the
- 1:46:50Speaker 2: Lambs was also in the Burbs and multiple Tim Burton movies.
- 1:46:56Speaker 2: Give me back my dog, lady. No, that's absolutely true, dude. Really? Yeah,
- 1:47:02Speaker 2: that little dog that was in Buffalo Bill, the one
- 1:47:05Speaker 2: that saved the girl. That dog was in the Burbs
- 1:47:09Speaker 2: and three Tim Burton movies. Sorry, buddy. Sorry.
- 1:47:13Speaker 3: Have a great weekend, though.
- 1:47:14Speaker 2: All right, we have two players left, Case. Ed. Ed,
- 1:47:18Speaker 2: very nice. Ed, how you doing? All right, how you
- 1:47:21Speaker 2: guys doing? You're doing great, buddy, because I've got to
- 1:47:23Speaker 2: tell you, all you have to do is tell me
- 1:47:24Speaker 2: one thing here. Is this movie fact, real, or fake?
- 1:47:28Speaker 2: The very first horror film was a French film released
- 1:47:30Speaker 2: in 1904 called House of the Devil. Fake. It is fake.
- 1:47:35Speaker 2: What year was it released? I think 1908. How about this?
- 1:47:43Speaker 2: 1897 was the very first horror movie, and it was
- 1:47:45Speaker 2: a French film called House of the Devil. You're a winner, buddy.
- 1:47:47Speaker 2: Want to put you on hold? Casey will take good
- 1:47:51Speaker 2: care of you. A couple other things you may not
- 1:47:53Speaker 2: know about the horror movies. Before we get to the
- 1:47:54Speaker 2: top of the hour, the fog is now coming in
- 1:47:56Speaker 2: for Halloween Horror Nights. The mood is being set, so
- 1:47:59Speaker 2: if you're out there listening and you're thinking about coming out,
- 1:48:01Speaker 2: now would be the time.
- 1:48:02Speaker 10: Do it.
- 1:48:03Speaker 2: The movie Child's Play was originally called Batteries Not Included
- 1:48:08Speaker 2: and was a satire of aggressive toy marketing. It wasn't
- 1:48:12Speaker 2: even supposed to be a horror movie. In the movie Beetlejuice,
- 1:48:15Speaker 2: how long is Beetlejuice in the movie? I think it's
- 1:48:17Speaker 2: like 11 minutes. No way.
- 1:48:19Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:48:19Speaker 5: Maybe.
- 1:48:20Speaker 2: Even less.
- 1:48:20Speaker 3: 7 minutes.
- 1:48:22Speaker 2: No, no, no. 15. 18 minutes. He's only on camera
- 1:48:25Speaker 2: for 18 minutes in the entire movie. 2013's remake of
- 1:48:30Speaker 2: Evil Dead holds the record for the most fake blood
- 1:48:34Speaker 2: used in a horror film. How many gallons were used? 8,000. 7,000.
- 1:48:38Speaker 15: 10,000.
- 1:48:39Speaker 3: 70,000 gallons of.
- 1:48:40Speaker 2: Fake blood were used in the 2013 remake of Evil Dead.
- 1:48:43Speaker 3: Damn.
- 1:48:44Speaker 2: 70,000 gallons. So imagine this. your standard swimming pool, I believe,
- 1:48:55Speaker 2: is about 15,000 gallons. So that is five, just short
- 1:49:00Speaker 2: of five swimming pools full of fake blood. Never saw
- 1:49:03Speaker 2: the movie, so I'm really curious what that shot looked like.
- 1:49:06Speaker 2: And then lastly, everybody remembers the movie The Shining, right?
- 1:49:09Speaker 3: Yeah, I love that movie.
- 1:49:10Speaker 2: What's the most famous... a scene in that movie. There's
- 1:49:13Speaker 2: two of them.
- 1:49:13Speaker 5: Elevator head through the door saying, here's Johnny.
- 1:49:16Speaker 2: And the other one is the twins. Uh, the old
- 1:49:19Speaker 2: lady boobs, the blood coming down the hallway from the elevator.
- 1:49:23Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:49:23Speaker 2: How long did it take to plan and pull that off?
- 1:49:27Speaker 2: Two weeks, one month, a year. It took one year. Whoa,
- 1:49:31Speaker 2: for the elevator seat? It took a year of planning
- 1:49:34Speaker 2: to pull off that blood coming down that hallway. It
- 1:49:37Speaker 2: took them that long to make sure that they could
- 1:49:39Speaker 2: get it on one shot because they only had one
- 1:49:41Speaker 2: shot to get it.
- 1:49:41Speaker 3: Here we go, Jack.
- 1:49:43Speaker 2: Very good. All right, 407-916-1041. Quickly, what's coming up for thoughts?
- 1:49:48Speaker 2: It's one of, I think, the greatest things that any relationship, marriage, partner,
- 1:49:54Speaker 2: best friend, it's one thing. that I think everyone should
- 1:49:58Speaker 2: be doing more. Oh, yeah, really? And I will tell
- 1:50:00Speaker 2: you this one thing after the break. Very nice. All right,
- 1:50:02Speaker 2: we'll get some more sauce next here on the Jim
- 1:50:04Speaker 2: Colbert Show.
- 1:50:08Speaker 11: Hey, Ross, they are not security guards. They're correctional officers
- 1:50:14Speaker 11: or deputies commissioned assigned to jail. I was one of them.
- 1:50:18Speaker 11: First off, mail-in ballots can be done by inmates in
- 1:50:22Speaker 11: a jail. As long as they have not been convicted
- 1:50:24Speaker 11: of a felony, all they have to do is do
- 1:50:27Speaker 11: a mail-in ballot and then sit back out through the mail.
- 1:50:32Speaker 11: Don't be confused there, Ross. They're deputies like everybody else.
- 1:50:37Speaker 2: Couldn't agree more. Yeah, Ross. Yeah, Ross.
- 1:50:39Speaker 3: Catching strays, Ross.
- 1:50:41Speaker 2: No. No, that's a direct hit. No, it's not catching strays.
- 1:50:44Speaker 2: I understand how I feel towards the amount of effort
- 1:50:47Speaker 2: that it would take to grab any prison and or
- 1:50:50Speaker 2: jail to get those people to vote. It would be
- 1:50:55Speaker 2: quite an undertaking. And I'm fine with saying that I
- 1:50:58Speaker 2: believe that effort that that would take could go into
- 1:51:03Speaker 2: a better time space when it comes to the budget
- 1:51:05Speaker 2: that we go with when it comes to jails. You know,
- 1:51:08Speaker 2: those things that are severely understaffed or underpaid. Yeah, the
- 1:51:13Speaker 2: prison system is fine. Overworked. More security guards. All right, 407-916-1041.
- 1:51:16Speaker 2: Text us at 77-04-031. Welcome back. I'm Jim. There's Deb.
- 1:51:22Speaker 3: Hello.
- 1:51:22Speaker 2: Jack is here as well. Let's do some Ross Thoughts.
- 1:51:25Speaker 2: It's weird. Feels good.
- 1:51:27Speaker 3: It's funny.
- 1:51:28Speaker 2: To be comfortable. Sometimes. You gotta do it. It's Ross.
- 1:51:33Speaker 2: Spelled like sauce. It's Ross Thoughts. Today's Ross Thoughts is
- 1:51:38Speaker 2: brought to you by personal injury attorney Mo DeWitt. To
- 1:51:42Speaker 2: injure it on the go, just call Mo. Whether it's
- 1:51:44Speaker 2: a slip and fall, a car accident, Mo has got
- 1:51:47Speaker 2: your back. Just call Mo.com. Now, Jim. I am here
- 1:51:52Speaker 2: to ask you so many questions. First and foremost, do
- 1:51:57Speaker 2: you hug your partner every day? We're all in a
- 1:51:59Speaker 2: serious relationship. First thing I do when my wife gets
- 1:52:02Speaker 2: up in the morning is we give a kiss and
- 1:52:03Speaker 2: a hug. It's the very first thing we do when
- 1:52:06Speaker 2: we see each other in the day. It's the first
- 1:52:07Speaker 2: thing I do when I get home from work, too.
- 1:52:09Speaker 2: Is that pre- or post-toothbrushed? Usually post.
- 1:52:14Speaker 10: Okay.
- 1:52:14Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, post toothbrush. I get up before her. She
- 1:52:16Speaker 2: gets up before that, and when she comes into my
- 1:52:18Speaker 2: studio to hang out for a few minutes before she
- 1:52:20Speaker 2: goes to work, first thing we do is give each
- 1:52:21Speaker 2: other a kiss and a hug. I don't want to
- 1:52:23Speaker 2: throw my wife underneath the bus because both of us
- 1:52:26Speaker 2: can do it. We usually kiss each other in the mornings,
- 1:52:28Speaker 2: but you can always tell when the other person hasn't
- 1:52:31Speaker 2: brushed their teeth yet. Right, yeah, yeah. And not because
- 1:52:33Speaker 2: of a smell thing. It's just the passion that is
- 1:52:36Speaker 2: lacking from the kiss. Right, yeah, yeah.
- 1:52:38Speaker 3: Well, you can't be passionate with mornings. Yeah, yeah.
- 1:52:40Speaker 2: That's a kiss you give an uncle you haven't seen
- 1:52:42Speaker 2: in a while.
- 1:52:42Speaker 3: That's a closed lip. Yeah, you don't lick your lips.
- 1:52:44Speaker 2: Right, right, right.
- 1:52:44Speaker 3: You drink water.
- 1:52:45Speaker 2: If you get that pre-brushed-tooth kiss, it's like, are we
- 1:52:49Speaker 2: dating now? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, why did we go backwards?
- 1:52:51Speaker 7: Right.
- 1:52:52Speaker 2: You know, we've done everything. Right, yeah. Why are you
- 1:52:55Speaker 2: kissing me with apathy? Yeah, it's been places. It's actually
- 1:52:58Speaker 2: just poor hygiene, and I get it. But here's another thing.
- 1:53:02Speaker 2: You hug and kiss. Do you hug and kiss every day,
- 1:53:04Speaker 2: X and O day? Absolutely. Yeah, every day. Jack?

- 1:53:11Speaker 2: Yeah. Hugs and kisses. XOXOXO, right?
- 1:53:15Speaker 3: Yeah.

- 1:53:19Speaker 2: X S O. Hugs and kisses and? Snuggles. Scares. Scares.
- 1:53:24Speaker 5: Oh, I thought you were going to say squeeze, like
- 1:53:25Speaker 5: you get butt squeeze.
- 1:53:27Speaker 9: Okay.
- 1:53:28Speaker 3: I love watching you light up at certain words. It's
- 1:53:31Speaker 3: my favorite thing.
- 1:53:32Speaker 2: I like butt squeeze.
- 1:53:33Speaker 5: Every American man, when you walk by your wife, you've
- 1:53:35Speaker 5: got to.
- 1:53:36Speaker 3: Lord, what is that?
- 1:53:37Speaker 2: You've got to pop that ass. You've just got to
- 1:53:38Speaker 2: do it.
- 1:53:39Speaker 3: Goodness.
- 1:53:40Speaker 2: I did the other day, and I missed, and I
- 1:53:42Speaker 2: just got all lower back, and she went, ow! I'm
- 1:53:46Speaker 2: so sorry.
- 1:53:47Speaker 4: Have you guys seen the videos of the guy who
- 1:53:48Speaker 4: goes to smack her ass, and just then she bends
- 1:53:50Speaker 4: down and he hits the back of her head?
- 1:53:52Speaker 2: Oh, no.
- 1:53:53Speaker 3: Yeah, that didn't end popular.
- 1:53:55Speaker 2: You've got to scare. And now I'm not saying this
- 1:53:58Speaker 2: is for everyone, but there are some people that if
- 1:54:02Speaker 2: you are looking for a little bit more fun, if
- 1:54:05Speaker 2: you're trying to spice things up, keep people on their toes.
- 1:54:09Speaker 2: My wife hates it.
- 1:54:10Speaker 3: My husband hates it. It is.
- 1:54:12Speaker 2: But then I think it's time. I think it's time
- 1:54:14Speaker 2: to bring them back onto the saddle. Oh, she can't
- 1:54:17Speaker 2: stand it. And what I scare her. is when I
- 1:54:20Speaker 2: wait until she's in the shower washing her hair. That's dangerous.
- 1:54:23Speaker 2: So then, because she's got her eyes closed, and what
- 1:54:27Speaker 2: I do is I press my face up against the
- 1:54:29Speaker 2: window of the door. Is it really your face? No,
- 1:54:31Speaker 2: it is my door, and then, I mean, she hates it.
- 1:54:34Speaker 2: She hates it. One of my least favorite times, and
- 1:54:37Speaker 2: this happens more than I'd like to admit, but if
- 1:54:40Speaker 2: my wife goes to bed, and then I go to
- 1:54:42Speaker 2: bed maybe an hour later, maybe two hours later, came
- 1:54:44Speaker 2: home from a gig or something, and then I start
- 1:54:46Speaker 2: getting ready, and I put in my pajamas- And then
- 1:54:49Speaker 2: she just sees my silhouette hovering over her bed. Yeah.
- 1:54:53Speaker 2: And then I don't want to scare her there. Yeah, yeah.
- 1:54:55Speaker 2: Because now we have to do laundry because, oh, shit.
- 1:54:58Speaker 2: That's her weakness. She doesn't like shadowy figures.
- 1:55:02Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:55:02Speaker 2: Really? There are some things, though, that people need to
- 1:55:05Speaker 2: recognize what happens to your anatomy when you get scared.
- 1:55:10Speaker 2: You kind of know some of the big ones, right?
- 1:55:12Speaker 2: Your heartbeat might go up. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Your
- 1:55:15Speaker 2: adrenaline starts to, and that's when a really good scare happens.
- 1:55:19Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:55:19Speaker 2: You ever get scared so much, scared so fast, then
- 1:55:22Speaker 2: all of a sudden you just put up fists? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Right? Oh, 100%.
- 1:55:26Speaker 2: Like someone getting a flashback from down there. It's going down.
- 1:55:30Speaker 2: I'll get you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's like a
- 1:55:32Speaker 2: Walmart greeter. God, you're so small. You're in fight or
- 1:55:35Speaker 2: flight mode. Yeah. Like you literally get put into fight
- 1:55:38Speaker 2: or flight mode. You don't know if it's a real threat.
- 1:55:40Speaker 3: That's instinct.
- 1:55:40Speaker 2: I've never had like– I've never sweat from a– I've
- 1:55:47Speaker 2: never had a sweat. from being scared have you yeah
- 1:55:50Speaker 2: well i had a really gnarly situation at my whole
- 1:55:52Speaker 2: print shop so yeah i've i've been i've been shaken
- 1:55:55Speaker 2: scared before and i've had a gun pointed at my
- 1:55:58Speaker 2: face and you know what's weird never i wasn't scared
- 1:56:02Speaker 2: that's really because it happened just so fast right right
- 1:56:05Speaker 2: right and this was when i first moved up to
- 1:56:07Speaker 2: orlando and i got mugged and uh they took two
- 1:56:10Speaker 2: bucks and loose change a pack of cigarettes no i
- 1:56:15Speaker 2: i lied i said the other guy took the cigarette
- 1:56:18Speaker 2: oh Fight or flight, I guess, right? Don't take my
- 1:56:22Speaker 2: Turkish silvers.
- 1:56:24Speaker 3: I hear you.
- 1:56:27Speaker 2: Those are rare brands. Literally with a gun in my face,
- 1:56:29Speaker 2: the guy goes, give me your cigarettes. I'm like, the
- 1:56:31Speaker 2: other guy took them. And I knew. I knew. They
- 1:56:34Speaker 2: were still in my pocket. Oh, wow. Over a cigarette.
- 1:56:37Speaker 2: Over a cigarette.
- 1:56:38Speaker 4: But what's funny is your mugger didn't even go, you're lying.
- 1:56:40Speaker 4: He was like, yeah, no, he's probably right.
- 1:56:42Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. Who lies with a gun to the face
- 1:56:44Speaker 2: over three cigarettes? It wasn't even a full pack. But
- 1:56:47Speaker 2: where I'm going with this is that I didn't get
- 1:56:49Speaker 2: scared there, and I didn't breathe faster. But I do
- 1:56:53Speaker 2: think that that is what lets me now, like, Be
- 1:56:58Speaker 2: scared for fun.
- 1:56:59Speaker 11: Oh, really?
- 1:56:59Speaker 2: Yeah, because after you experience something that should make you go, ah!
- 1:57:05Speaker 3: That is truly terrifying.
- 1:57:06Speaker 2: That is truly terrifying.
- 1:57:07Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:57:08Speaker 2: And all of a sudden, you don't break out in
- 1:57:10Speaker 2: a sweat, and everything kind of slows down. That is,
- 1:57:13Speaker 2: I mean, the closest I think I've ever been to death. Yeah,
- 1:57:17Speaker 2: because you start running the possibilities in your head because
- 1:57:19Speaker 2: your brain works very quickly. You know, mine was at
- 1:57:22Speaker 2: my print shop. I walked out to go out, and
- 1:57:23Speaker 2: somebody was standing there in front of my door, locked,
- 1:57:26Speaker 2: and he was trying to get into my print shop
- 1:57:27Speaker 2: and rob me. And I was just on the other
- 1:57:29Speaker 2: side of the door. The only thing that was keeping
- 1:57:30Speaker 2: us is that door. I could see him right there.
- 1:57:32Speaker 2: I'm like, what are you doing? He just wouldn't say anything.
- 1:57:34Speaker 2: He just stared me in the eye, shaking the door. Yeah.
- 1:57:36Speaker 2: It was just terrifying because, I mean, I knew what
- 1:57:38Speaker 2: was going to happen if the guy got in. I
- 1:57:39Speaker 2: was going to have to, you know, it was going
- 1:57:40Speaker 2: to be gnarly. There's only been one time where I've
- 1:57:43Speaker 2: gotten scared to the point of absolute death. I froze
- 1:57:48Speaker 2: when I didn't know what to do, and I've only
- 1:57:51Speaker 2: had this part. And this is not what I recommend
- 1:57:55Speaker 2: doing for your relationship. I think a fun little scare
- 1:57:58Speaker 2: every now and then out of a closet is kind
- 1:57:59Speaker 2: of healthy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because what's the first thing
- 1:58:01Speaker 2: that happens after you get a little fun scare like that?
- 1:58:04Speaker 2: Let's say at Halloween Horror Nights, what's the first thing
- 1:58:06Speaker 2: you do? You laugh. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You release
- 1:58:09Speaker 2: the fear. this beautiful laugh, and it's not a ha-ha
- 1:58:13Speaker 2: from a joke. It's a ha-ha that's, like, soulful and deep.
- 1:58:18Speaker 2: Thank God I'm safe. Yeah. I'm not going to die
- 1:58:21Speaker 2: right now.
- 1:58:22Speaker 4: They actually say couples bond more over horror movies than
- 1:58:25Speaker 4: they do over rom-coms.
- 1:58:26Speaker 2: It makes sense as you get closer and you're both
- 1:58:29Speaker 2: experiencing something like, oh, God, not behind the car. How
- 1:58:33Speaker 2: do you do it? How do you scare her? What's
- 1:58:35Speaker 2: your favorite way to do it? Is it the hovering thing?
- 1:58:37Speaker 2: Other than the shadowy figure thing, which I do not
- 1:58:40Speaker 2: plan on doing. I try not to because it really.
- 1:58:42Speaker 3: She doesn't like it.
- 1:58:43Speaker 2: That's just not a good scare. Just catch her when
- 1:58:45Speaker 2: she's not paying attention and give her a little... We
- 1:58:47Speaker 2: have a hallway, and you can always hear the foot
- 1:58:51Speaker 2: coming down the hallway as someone walking. And one time,
- 1:58:55Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure my son took too big of steps,
- 1:58:57Speaker 2: and I thought it was hers, and I tried to
- 1:58:59Speaker 2: jump out, made my toddler cry. It's whatever. It's fine.
- 1:59:03Speaker 2: That's on me. I should be able to tell footsteps... Right, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:59:06Speaker 2: When the gate is that big of a difference. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:59:09Speaker 2: But I scare her when she's walking down the closet
- 1:59:12Speaker 2: or walking down the hallway, and then I'll jump out.
- 1:59:14Speaker 2: I'll hit her with one of those. But she doesn't
- 1:59:16Speaker 2: scare me. I don't think she– maybe she doesn't like this.
- 1:59:18Speaker 2: Don't do this to your wife. But I'll tell you this,
- 1:59:24Speaker 2: and this is where I will end this segment, is
- 1:59:27Speaker 2: that the time that I froze, the time that I absolutely,
- 1:59:32Speaker 2: is when I was at that gas station, and I
- 1:59:35Speaker 2: remember telling you this, and I saw a dude get shot.
- 1:59:38Speaker 2: He got shot in the ass. I heard the blood-curdling
- 1:59:42Speaker 2: scream that only, and I'm not trying to shoot, no
- 1:59:46Speaker 2: pun intended, but not trying to throw any jabs, but
- 1:59:48Speaker 2: a blood-curdling scream that only a woman could make.
- 1:59:51Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
- 1:59:52Speaker 2: This frequency that it felt like it came right out
- 1:59:55Speaker 2: of a Hitchcock film. And all of a sudden, then
- 1:59:58Speaker 2: I just see the most blood I've ever seen. And everyone,
- 2:00:03Speaker 2: I just froze. I didn't know.
- 2:00:05Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
- 2:00:06Speaker 2: And it happened so fast.
- 2:00:07Speaker 11: Right, yeah.
- 2:00:08Speaker 2: I mean, a bullet is fast. Your response is even faster.
- 2:00:13Speaker 2: And that was, like, the most scared I felt. Maybe
- 2:00:16Speaker 2: I did break out into a sweat at that moment.
- 2:00:19Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 2:00:19Speaker 3: Did you taste metal in your mouth?
- 2:00:21Speaker 2: I didn't.
- 2:00:21Speaker 4: They say when you get so scared, you get, like,
- 2:00:23Speaker 4: a metal taste in your mouth.
- 2:00:25Speaker 2: Like blood? That's wild. Yeah.
- 2:00:26Speaker 3: Something, not blood, but almost like just a metal taste.
- 2:00:30Speaker 2: All I know is that you could just feel your
- 2:00:32Speaker 2: brain go, there's a threat.
- 2:00:35Speaker 15: Right.
- 2:00:36Speaker 7: And....
- 2:00:37Speaker 2: Props to the people who have trained for that reaction
- 2:00:41Speaker 2: and that response. Yeah, yeah. Because I don't even know
- 2:00:45Speaker 2: how you train for that. It felt like I had
- 2:00:49Speaker 2: a tail because that reaction was out of my control.
- 2:00:53Speaker 2: I didn't have time to think. And that was the
- 2:00:57Speaker 2: most scared I have ever felt. I can imagine. I
- 2:01:01Speaker 2: can imagine seeing somebody get shot. I would be horrified.
- 2:01:03Speaker 2: It was in the ass. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you
- 2:01:07Speaker 2: make it? Yeah. And this is also one of the
- 2:01:10Speaker 2: scariest things. I'm pretty sure. You don't know, right? Here's
- 2:01:13Speaker 2: the craziest part. When I saw that dude get shot,
- 2:01:16Speaker 2: I'm thinking, oh, boy, do I have news coverage for tomorrow.
- 2:01:21Speaker 2: Don't worry, Deb. Didn't make the news. It didn't make
- 2:01:25Speaker 2: the news. It was such a nonchalant.
- 2:01:27Speaker 3: It was such a random happens every day thing.
- 2:01:29Speaker 2: It's where it happened, too, that kind of makes it
- 2:01:31Speaker 2: like that, too, right? It was right off of, yeah.
- 2:01:33Speaker 2: It was at a gas station here in Orlando, and
- 2:01:37Speaker 2: I'm thinking, this is frontline, and I was there, and
- 2:01:40Speaker 2: it was like a blog, five lights. It was an
- 2:01:44Speaker 2: Instagram post. Yeah, and that was it. I do mean this.
- 2:01:49Speaker 2: Do scare your partner. Give them a scare, and if
- 2:01:52Speaker 2: they don't like it, that's fine, but just blow the
- 2:01:55Speaker 2: dust off a good old, ha! Just let her know
- 2:01:58Speaker 2: you're there. Let her know. And let him know. It's
- 2:02:00Speaker 2: a way more fun time scaring each other than not
- 2:02:03Speaker 2: scaring each other.
- 2:02:04Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
- 2:02:05Speaker 2: And those are your Ross thoughts. I'm out. Peace. All right. 407-916-1041.
- 2:02:09Speaker 2: Text us 77031. Back in a sec with more of
- 2:02:12Speaker 2: the Jim Colbert Show.
- 2:02:17Speaker 14: Hey, how's it going, Hunter? You know what day it is.
- 2:02:20Speaker 11: It's Aloha Friday.

- 2:02:25Speaker 14: Day weekend. Everybody that has off on Monday, enjoy. Everybody
- 2:02:29Speaker 14: take a moment and be a little courteous on the
- 2:02:31Speaker 14: road out there. It's not always about you. But, hey,
- 2:02:35Speaker 14: I don't know if Eric Keller is going to give
- 2:02:38Speaker 14: up part of his liver. That thing should go to
- 2:02:40Speaker 14: the Smithsonian, bro. Imagine all the vintage that's passed through
- 2:02:43Speaker 14: that liver.
- 2:02:44Speaker 2: You can squeeze out a couple shots, I'm sure. Indeed, brother. Hey,
- 2:02:48Speaker 2: what's up, guys? Justin here. Yeah, scaring your partner is
- 2:02:51Speaker 2: all cute and stuff until you realize she's got hands.
- 2:02:53Speaker 2: I dodged the first two. That third one caught me
- 2:02:55Speaker 2: right in the gut. Dropped me.
- 2:02:57Speaker 11: Dropped me.
- 2:02:58Speaker 2: I still like scaring him, though. Love you, baby.
- 2:03:01Speaker 1: Drink it if you get it.
- 2:03:04Speaker 2: Food after morning cold bird crew. Does anyone else hate
- 2:03:08Speaker 2: their job? I sure hate my job. I really hate
- 2:03:12Speaker 2: my boss, too. Oh, come on. And I really hope
- 2:03:15Speaker 2: he hears this. Because he'd know who it is.
- 2:03:19Speaker 1: Right?
- 2:03:21Speaker 2: Big T out. It sounds like a small business owner. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 2:03:26Speaker 2: All right, welcome back to the Jim Colbert Show, Real
- 2:03:29Speaker 2: Radio 104.1. We are broadcasting live from Universal Studios. Halloween
- 2:03:32Speaker 2: Hard Nights is amongst us. We can see the ghouls
- 2:03:35Speaker 2: out stomping around. The scares are beginning. The fog is in,
- 2:03:39Speaker 2: and it is officially on. So if you're out there
- 2:03:42Speaker 2: and listening and you haven't yet to visit Halloween Hard Nights,
- 2:03:44Speaker 2: you've got to get out of here, man. One of
- 2:03:45Speaker 2: the best years ever. The 10 houses, it's the best
- 2:03:48Speaker 2: collection of talent that they've had for a while. Welcome back.
- 2:03:52Speaker 2: I'm Jim. Deb, Jack, and Ross are here as well.
- 2:03:54Speaker 2: There might be... Everything is subjective if it's ever been created.
- 2:03:59Speaker 2: So with that said, though, the... This collection of houses,
- 2:04:03Speaker 2: there are six houses that I would put up against
- 2:04:06Speaker 2: any year's six houses. Yeah, yeah. They are amazing. My
- 2:04:09Speaker 2: wife just went out. She's out with her best friend.
- 2:04:12Speaker 2: She just came back into the studio for a few
- 2:04:13Speaker 2: minutes before we take off today. They've already hit four
- 2:04:16Speaker 2: houses today, and she said the Jack one was her
- 2:04:18Speaker 2: favorite one. Yeah. She said Stranger Things was very good
- 2:04:20Speaker 2: as well, but the Jack one was really, really good.
- 2:04:23Speaker 2: It's very, very good.
- 2:04:24Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah.
- 2:04:24Speaker 2: And it's filled with effects and illusions. Right, right, right.
- 2:04:27Speaker 2: And you think up is down. Do you think men
- 2:04:29Speaker 2: and women, like, specifically find things patently different scale? Like,
- 2:04:34Speaker 2: in other words, like, if you and I or Deb
- 2:04:36Speaker 2: and I go into a haunted house, you know, are
- 2:04:38Speaker 2: we going to have, like, completely different experiences because she's
- 2:04:41Speaker 2: a woman and I'm a man? No, I wouldn't say so.
- 2:04:44Speaker 2: You wouldn't say so? Blood is blood. Yeah, I mean,
- 2:04:46Speaker 2: I get it. I just don't– I didn't know if
- 2:04:47Speaker 2: one genre– was scarier to women than they are to
- 2:04:51Speaker 2: men and then vice versa. Do you see what I'm saying?
- 2:04:54Speaker 2: If you're a guy and you go to a house
- 2:04:56Speaker 2: and it's full of ex-wives and they're all armed, that
- 2:04:59Speaker 2: can be very scary. But you go into a haunted
- 2:05:02Speaker 2: house with a woman and the haunted house is a
- 2:05:04Speaker 2: bunch of creepers who are peeping in the windows and stuff,
- 2:05:08Speaker 2: that can be also scary.
- 2:05:09Speaker 3: That's just called life.
- 2:05:10Speaker 2: I would have to agree with you to a certain
- 2:05:12Speaker 2: degree because if you look at what your stereotypical– what
- 2:05:17Speaker 2: women find funny versus what men find funny, those tend
- 2:05:20Speaker 2: to be– there are going to be a large part
- 2:05:23Speaker 2: of that Venn diagram that they do have in common,
- 2:05:25Speaker 2: but I'm not going to act like– there aren't some differences.
- 2:05:28Speaker 2: We're usually a little bit more immature. Yeah, yeah, 100%.
- 2:05:31Speaker 2: Does your wife, does she like haunted houses and stuff?
- 2:05:34Speaker 2: She likes everything, but she also doesn't love anything. Oh,
- 2:05:38Speaker 2: I got you. Okay. Oh, I'm sorry.
- 2:05:40Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 2:05:41Speaker 2: Like, she likes it all, but if you're trying to
- 2:05:43Speaker 2: get her to be like, oh, a passion project, I
- 2:05:47Speaker 2: could design a haunted house. I don't think that's her thing. Oh,
- 2:05:50Speaker 2: I got you.
- 2:05:50Speaker 1: Okay.
- 2:05:51Speaker 2: I mean, no problem with that. Like, she likes him,
- 2:05:53Speaker 2: but loves, I don't know. Is there a theme that
- 2:05:55Speaker 2: you would like to see come here? And I know
- 2:05:57Speaker 2: that it's tough because there are licenses that you have
- 2:05:59Speaker 2: to go through, so not everything would be available. But
- 2:06:02Speaker 2: is there something that hasn't been done out here you'd
- 2:06:04Speaker 2: like to see? Resident Evil. Resident Evil? I think I
- 2:06:06Speaker 2: would like to see a Resident Evil scare zone to
- 2:06:09Speaker 2: walk through Raccoon City. I'm pretty sure there was a
- 2:06:12Speaker 2: Resident Evil house at some point. Would they ever build
- 2:06:15Speaker 2: a house around a serial killer, or would that be
- 2:06:18Speaker 2: disrespectful to the victim? That would be disrespectful. Would it really? Yeah,
- 2:06:21Speaker 2: I would jump in and say that's not a good idea.
- 2:06:24Speaker 2: What about just a house of them? Like, in other words,
- 2:06:27Speaker 2: every room is representative of a different kind or a
- 2:06:29Speaker 2: different killer. That would be disrespectful to them. You're glorifying them. Yeah, yeah,
- 2:06:33Speaker 2: it would be. But I mean, yeah, and you're paying
- 2:06:34Speaker 2: money to see it. But that would be a badass house.
- 2:06:37Speaker 2: And I was right. Halloween Horror Nights 2013 had Escape
- 2:06:40Speaker 2: from Raccoon City. Did they really?
- 2:06:42Speaker 3: Oh, I thought that was a joke just for Jimmy.
- 2:06:44Speaker 2: No, no, that was.
- 2:06:46Speaker 3: All we know is love for the trash raccoon.
- 2:06:48Speaker 2: Trash panda. Raccoon City is the fictional city in the
- 2:06:52Speaker 2: franchise Resident Evil. What would you like to see come through, Jack?
- 2:06:55Speaker 2: If they were going to pull another theme out of there,
- 2:06:56Speaker 2: what would you like? Ooh, so it could be anything.
- 2:07:00Speaker 2: So they did the Friday on 13th. Friday the 13th, yeah.
- 2:07:03Speaker 2: Friday the 13th, and also Nightmare on Elm Street. That's
- 2:07:06Speaker 2: how proper you are. Friday on the 13th. Friday on
- 2:07:08Speaker 2: the 13th.
- 2:07:09Speaker 3: He's like a Britishman.
- 2:07:11Speaker 2: Have you seen this movie called Next Week Friday? Yeah.
- 2:07:14Speaker 2: And Kruger. Yeah. We've had Freddy.
- 2:07:17Speaker 5: See, those are the staples for me, I remember, because
- 2:07:21Speaker 5: that's going to the theater to see those things. I
- 2:07:24Speaker 5: think in your teenage years, that's when you can watch, like,
- 2:07:27Speaker 5: trashy movies like that and have them imprint on you.
- 2:07:29Speaker 2: Dude, I got to tell you, I think a cabin
- 2:07:31Speaker 2: in the woods house would be badass. And the reason
- 2:07:34Speaker 2: I believe it would– I think they did that. Did
- 2:07:35Speaker 2: they really? They did when the movie came out. I
- 2:07:37Speaker 2: was going to say the reason I would think that
- 2:07:38Speaker 2: is because The Cabin in the Woods had so many
- 2:07:40Speaker 2: different kind of bad guys. You could have one room
- 2:07:42Speaker 2: that had this particular ghost or that particular bad guy
- 2:07:45Speaker 2: or the hillbilly. Remember how it had the– was it
- 2:07:47Speaker 2: the sexually deviant hillbillies or whatever?
- 2:07:50Speaker 5: The ones that I seem to like the best are
- 2:07:53Speaker 5: the ones where Universal, they create their own. It's not
- 2:07:57Speaker 5: the movies or the shows that.
- 2:07:59Speaker 2: They're– Like the H.R. Guts and stuff thing.
- 2:08:01Speaker 5: Yeah, but they had one like Classic Monsters with Frankenstein, Wolfman,
- 2:08:07Speaker 5: all those. I mean that's what I like when they–
- 2:08:09Speaker 5: they have their own licensing to– I mean.
- 2:08:14Speaker 2: Some of the greatest horror figures of all time. Talking
- 2:08:16Speaker 2: about horror films, and I told you that I've seen
- 2:08:19Speaker 2: more behind the scenes about Freddy Krueger than I have
- 2:08:24Speaker 2: of actually Freddy Krueger. Oh, yeah? Did you see the
- 2:08:26Speaker 2: movie itself? I've seen the movie multiple times. I've seen
- 2:08:29Speaker 2: them all. I think it's just such a fun franchise,
- 2:08:32Speaker 2: and it's comedy, and it's silly, but it's murder, and...
- 2:08:36Speaker 2: I love the premise, but there's a documentary, Jim. It
- 2:08:39Speaker 2: is four hours long. It is called Never Sleep Again,
- 2:08:43Speaker 2: The Elm Street Legacy, a top four documentary experience in
- 2:08:47Speaker 2: my life. Really? You learn so much. You learn about
- 2:08:50Speaker 2: the ripple effect that is, what is it, New Line Cinema?
- 2:08:56Speaker 2: It was like a make-or-break-moment movie for them. They put
- 2:08:58Speaker 2: their entire studio in debt to make that first film
- 2:09:02Speaker 2: to the point where, even though it was a raging success,
- 2:09:06Speaker 2: They didn't make that much money. Yeah, because they were
- 2:09:08Speaker 2: in debt so much. They were paying off everything to
- 2:09:10Speaker 2: make it back up. And then the second movie is rushed.
- 2:09:14Speaker 2: They don't even have Robert Englund play Freddy Krueger. And
- 2:09:18Speaker 2: it is looked at and is regarded as the worst
- 2:09:21Speaker 2: Nightmare on Elm Street Freddy Krueger movie. But it's also
- 2:09:23Speaker 2: looked at as this massive metaphor for... For the gay community.
- 2:09:29Speaker 2: It's regarded as the gayest horror film of all time.
- 2:09:34Speaker 2: And if you go back... I've never heard that ever.
- 2:09:36Speaker 2: If you go back, in this documentary, they talk to
- 2:09:39Speaker 2: the director, the writer, the actor. They are talking to everyone.
- 2:09:42Speaker 2: And they go, yep, we just didn't see this in pre-production.
- 2:09:47Speaker 2: We really should have seen it coming. What made it
- 2:09:49Speaker 2: so gay? Every shot of this movie is stupid, super gay.
- 2:09:55Speaker 2: And everyone puts their hands up and goes, we didn't
- 2:09:59Speaker 2: think this was going to be the end result. Okay,
- 2:10:01Speaker 2: so how can a shot be gay? So is it
- 2:10:04Speaker 2: kind of like... Top Gun is considered... I.
- 2:10:08Speaker 3: Just recently saw that.
- 2:10:10Speaker 2: Or the Billy Squire video.
- 2:10:12Speaker 3: Yes, think Top Gun.
- 2:10:14Speaker 2: Times 20. The whole movie is a metaphor. So it's
- 2:10:17Speaker 2: just homoerotic? There's a ton of homoerotic scenes in Freddy
- 2:10:22Speaker 2: Krueger the second one. Really? Man, this is a complete mind.
- 2:10:25Speaker 3: Because this is the 80s, right? When that was not cool.
- 2:10:28Speaker 2: And to the point where it has grown its own
- 2:10:31Speaker 2: legs and its own legacy and it's really big in
- 2:10:35Speaker 2: the gay community around the world is the second nightmare
- 2:10:39Speaker 2: on Elm Street. And everyone laughs. In the documentary, they're
- 2:10:43Speaker 2: laughing about it. They're like, yeah, this accidentally happened. We
- 2:10:46Speaker 2: didn't think that this was going to just be a
- 2:10:49Speaker 2: massive metaphor for a certain community. And it 100% is.
- 2:10:53Speaker 2: Says here the plot, Jesse fears an inner force, Freddy Krueger.
- 2:10:57Speaker 2: Inner force, all right. I bet you do.
- 2:10:59Speaker 15: Yes.
- 2:11:00Speaker 2: Is taking over his body, a metaphor for repressed desire. Yes. Wow.
- 2:11:05Speaker 2: There is a scene where his, like, there's a dream
- 2:11:09Speaker 2: scene where everyone's in leather. Like choking on leather balls. Oh, wait, wait,
- 2:11:13Speaker 2: hold on. The relationship. Jesse avoids his girlfriend Lisa and
- 2:11:16Speaker 2: spends intense late night moments with his male friend Grady. Yeah,
- 2:11:20Speaker 2: and it's just looked at as like, yeah, they're just friends.
- 2:11:23Speaker 2: Jesse visits a leather S & M gay bar called
- 2:11:28Speaker 2: The Toolbox where his coach is attacked. Yeah.
- 2:11:32Speaker 3: Okay, so wait a minute.
- 2:11:33Speaker 2: And the coach is attacked because he gets his hands
- 2:11:36Speaker 2: tied up to a shower. with towels, and then Freddy Krueger,
- 2:11:41Speaker 2: I believe, whips him with the towel until he dies. Dude, unbelievable.
- 2:11:46Speaker 2: The writer, screenwriter David Chaskin, later admits the queer subtext
- 2:11:51Speaker 2: and fears around the 1980s AIDS crisis were intentional. They
- 2:11:56Speaker 2: actually did it on purpose. So in this documentary that
- 2:11:59Speaker 2: I watched, it's from 2010, so I don't know when
- 2:12:02Speaker 2: he came out and talked about this, but in that documentary... Uh,
- 2:12:08Speaker 2: you're talking to the actor, the writer, and they're all
- 2:12:10Speaker 2: kind of having a laugh about it. And then the
- 2:12:12Speaker 2: movie does not do well.
- 2:12:15Speaker 3: Uh, yeah.
- 2:12:15Speaker 2: The director said that they know anything. The director knew
- 2:12:17Speaker 2: nothing about it. Yeah. They wrote this movie as a
- 2:12:20Speaker 2: gay subtext movie. The director is just making a horror movie.
- 2:12:23Speaker 2: He's making a gay hero movie.
- 2:12:25Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 2:12:26Speaker 2: And it's, uh, what year was it?
- 2:12:27Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 2:12:28Speaker 2: 85. Whoa. $ 35 million at the box office. So it
- 2:12:32Speaker 2: made bank, but it was not critically acclaimed, and it
- 2:12:35Speaker 2: pissed off the fans. The lead actor, a guy named
- 2:12:38Speaker 2: Mark Patton, was a closeted gay guy at the time.
- 2:12:41Speaker 2: And you can tell in the movie. As detailed by
- 2:12:45Speaker 2: this magazine called Autostraddle. It's a really fun watch, and
- 2:12:51Speaker 2: I mean that in all seriousness. Now knowing what the
- 2:12:55Speaker 2: writer was thinking and the director had no idea and
- 2:12:58Speaker 2: the actors, the closeted gay dude.
- 2:13:01Speaker 5: Budget was $ 3 million, and they made $ 30 million.
- 2:13:04Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 2:13:05Speaker 2: Tell me what the numbers are on the first one.
- 2:13:07Speaker 2: I'm curious about that. And then the third and fourth
- 2:13:11Speaker 2: Nightmare on Elm Street both rip.
- 2:13:13Speaker 3: Wow.
- 2:13:13Speaker 2: Because Robert Englund comes back to play Freddy Krueger. He
- 2:13:16Speaker 2: said he knew what was going on in that gay subtext.
- 2:13:19Speaker 2: And I don't know if that had anything to do
- 2:13:20Speaker 2: with him not taking the movie. By the way, he
- 2:13:22Speaker 2: wasn't originally supposed to be in the movie to begin with.
- 2:13:24Speaker 2: It was a money thing. Where studios basically looked at
- 2:13:27Speaker 2: Robert Englund, the guy, the actor who played Freddy Krueger,
- 2:13:30Speaker 2: and said, dude, you're just a dude in a mask.
- 2:13:32Speaker 3: Right, anybody can play that part.
- 2:13:34Speaker 2: Yeah, and they completely disrespected him, and he said, yo, man,
- 2:13:38Speaker 2: this movie's working because of Freddy Krueger, and I'm Freddy Krueger.
- 2:13:42Speaker 2: And then they recast, and they were dead wrong.
- 2:13:45Speaker 5: The first movie was the budget under $ 2 million, about $ 1.
- 2:13:48Speaker 2: 7 million to make. It took in.
- 2:13:50Speaker 5: 25 million domestically, and then up to 50 million worldwide.
- 2:13:57Speaker 2: Nightmare on Elm.
- 2:13:57Speaker 5: Street 2 was 29 million domestically and like a half
- 2:14:02Speaker 5: a million for the rest of the world. It only
- 2:14:04Speaker 5: went to 30 million worldwide. It did nothing outside the U.S.,
- 2:14:09Speaker 5: but the homoerotic nature of it really propelled it in America.
- 2:14:14Speaker 2: You cannot... Miss it. It says, and let's not forget
- 2:14:18Speaker 2: all those likely intentional Easter eggs, such as the probe
- 2:14:22Speaker 2: board game, clearly seen in Jesse's closet, or the no
- 2:14:26Speaker 2: chicks sign on his bedroom door. Yeah. And the whole movie,
- 2:14:30Speaker 2: he hates his girlfriend. He's repulsed by her. Oh, it's
- 2:14:34Speaker 2: like he's gay. It's such a funny watch. So it's
- 2:14:40Speaker 2: half comedy, unknowingly at the time.
- 2:14:44Speaker 3: Right, yeah.
- 2:14:44Speaker 2: But I cannot recommend Never Sleep Again Enough. The Elm
- 2:14:49Speaker 2: Street Legacy. It's a four-hour documentary. You can get it
- 2:14:52Speaker 2: for like four bucks on Amazon Prime.
- 2:14:54Speaker 3: Do not recommend that for... Or why'd you do that, Snoop?
- 2:14:56Speaker 2: It says Robert England. This is from alt.com. It says
- 2:15:01Speaker 2: Robert England was also headlining a participant in 2019's Scream Queen. Yeah.
- 2:15:07Speaker 2: My Nightmare on Elm Street, which is a documentary that
- 2:15:10Speaker 2: examined the life of Patton and the negative impact Nightmare
- 2:15:14Speaker 2: on Elm Street 2 had on his career. After this,
- 2:15:15Speaker 2: he was outed and completely ostracized by Hollywood because they
- 2:15:19Speaker 2: were going through this mega homophobic thing and they weren't
- 2:15:22Speaker 2: putting people like that in movies. But the third one,
- 2:15:26Speaker 2: I would have to say that the third Nightmare on
- 2:15:28Speaker 2: Elm Street, I believe that's whatever the dream one is.
- 2:15:32Speaker 2: That might be... Dreamscape? Yeah, yeah. Nightmare on Elm. Robert
- 2:15:36Speaker 2: Englund was in the second one. Was he? Yeah. Well,
- 2:15:41Speaker 2: then he wasn't originally cast, and it's not Robert Englund
- 2:15:45Speaker 2: throughout the whole movie then. Because there's definitely... There are
- 2:15:50Speaker 2: plenty of shots in that second one where you're like,
- 2:15:52Speaker 2: why is Freddy 6'7? Because they talk about this as,
- 2:15:55Speaker 2: while out promoting A Nightmare on Elm Street... Seven film collection.
- 2:15:59Speaker 2: England took some time to take a stroll down memory
- 2:16:01Speaker 2: lane and chat without about Nightmare on Elm Street 2
- 2:16:04Speaker 2: and all of its queer glory. He also examines the
- 2:16:07Speaker 2: sexual fluidity of Freddy Krueger and recalls how he and
- 2:16:10Speaker 2: Patton intentionally accentuated the homoeroticism between Jesse and Freddy. They
- 2:16:15Speaker 2: did it on purpose. Dude, I'm telling you, it's the
- 2:16:18Speaker 2: gayest horror film of all time. And I say that
- 2:16:21Speaker 2: as a compliment. Need something more than knives on those gloves.
- 2:16:24Speaker 2: It's that and the Babadook. Oh, yeah, the Babadook. I
- 2:16:27Speaker 2: haven't seen that one yet. Yeah, Babadook also got– a
- 2:16:29Speaker 2: couple years ago it got nominated to be like an
- 2:16:31Speaker 2: LGBT icon. Oh, really? Yeah. Babadook is supposed to be
- 2:16:34Speaker 2: really scary, though, right? It is, but it's kind of
- 2:16:35Speaker 2: like they just did it because it's hilarious knowing that
- 2:16:38Speaker 2: Babadook is a gay queer icon.
- 2:16:41Speaker 12: Duke.
- 2:16:41Speaker 3: No, it's the Baba. You put the Baba on front
- 2:16:44Speaker 3: of the Duke. You don't just say Duke.
- 2:16:46Speaker 2: All right, 407-916-1041. You can always text us at 77031.
- 2:16:48Speaker 2: What would you like to see him make one out of?
- 2:16:50Speaker 3: Oh, man.
- 2:16:55Speaker 4: I hate to go back to my old love, but,
- 2:16:57Speaker 4: I mean, again, I would go back to Buffy the
- 2:16:59Speaker 4: Vampire Slayer.
- 2:17:00Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, yeah.
- 2:17:01Speaker 2: There aren't enough women in these positions, really. There aren't
- 2:17:03Speaker 2: enough women, like, bad guys in these movies. They always
- 2:17:07Speaker 2: make them witch or water ghosts or something. No, they're
- 2:17:10Speaker 2: the hero. Yeah, the protagonist, huh? Yeah, well, women, that
- 2:17:13Speaker 2: whole scream queen that Jamie Lee Curtis started with Halloween,
- 2:17:17Speaker 2: that never left.
- 2:17:18Speaker 5: They're not the killers because they talk about their feelings.
- 2:17:21Speaker 5: It's not pent up.
- 2:17:24Speaker 3: No, we're not killers because we give life.
- 2:17:26Speaker 2: The ring is a killer. Isn't the ring a girl?
- 2:17:29Speaker 1: Yes.
- 2:17:30Speaker 2: Spoiler alert. Like the Japanese water ghost thing, right? And
- 2:17:34Speaker 2: isn't there another one that was in that– there was
- 2:17:35Speaker 2: another one around the ring that was kind of similar
- 2:17:38Speaker 2: to that as well, right? Oh, the– It was another
- 2:17:41Speaker 2: series of movies.
- 2:17:42Speaker 3: Wasn't it the Sarah Michelle– no, I think that was
- 2:17:44Speaker 3: the ring.
- 2:17:45Speaker 2: Grudge. Grudge, right. The Grudge. And that was like– Oh,
- 2:17:49Speaker 2: my God.
- 2:17:50Speaker 3: Wait, what was that?
- 2:17:53Speaker 2: Yeah, that one was bad.
- 2:17:57Speaker 3: You're welcome.
- 2:17:57Speaker 2: Sounds like the.
- 2:17:58Speaker 5: Doorbell on a New York City apartment building.
- 2:18:04Speaker 2: I'm here with your groceries. Sounds like Deb's exhaust. Door dash.
- 2:18:09Speaker 3: Jimmy letting go before the mic goes live. I fart radio.
- 2:18:17Speaker 2: I hope you guys get to watch any of the
- 2:18:20Speaker 2: Nightmare on Elm Street.
- 2:18:21Speaker 3: We grew up on those.
- 2:18:23Speaker 2: But did you watch the third one? No, that's the
- 2:18:26Speaker 2: last time I watched them. Yeah, yeah. That was the
- 2:18:28Speaker 2: one where they replaced Heather something camp. I forget what
- 2:18:31Speaker 2: her name is. Heather Langenkamp or something like that. She
- 2:18:35Speaker 2: was the girl in the original.
- 2:18:37Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 2:18:38Speaker 2: Yeah, the one that was always, you know, the one
- 2:18:39Speaker 2: that fell asleep. They replaced her with a blonde in
- 2:18:41Speaker 2: like the third or fourth one. That's third Nightmare on
- 2:18:43Speaker 2: Elm Street, Dream Warriors. Yeah, yeah, that's exactly it. Because
- 2:18:47Speaker 2: Dokken was an 80s band that I loved, and they did...
- 2:18:50Speaker 2: Two songs from that. And I think Nightmare on Elm
- 2:18:53Speaker 2: Street 3, Dream Warriors, is just like chef kiss 80s. Yeah,
- 2:18:58Speaker 2: it is. It's exactly what you want out of Freddy Krueger.
- 2:19:00Speaker 2: It's fun. It's funny. He's killing people in whimsical ways.
- 2:19:04Speaker 2: Was he the first horror figure to be funny? Yeah,
- 2:19:12Speaker 2: that was a really interesting choice for them, by the way,
- 2:19:14Speaker 2: because he had these stupid kind of dad jokes that
- 2:19:17Speaker 2: he was like, what is this guy doing? He's like
- 2:19:19Speaker 2: a stone cold burn murderer. And he's like, he's got jokes.
- 2:19:22Speaker 4: When you think about it, Freddy Krueger was the first
- 2:19:24Speaker 4: killer that was allowed to have personality.
- 2:19:26Speaker 3: You said it earlier.
- 2:19:27Speaker 4: Part of what made Mike Myers so scary was that
- 2:19:29Speaker 4: he was just a shape.
- 2:19:31Speaker 2: He was devoid of it.
- 2:19:32Speaker 3: He was devoid of emotion, devoid of a face. He
- 2:19:36Speaker 3: never spoke.
- 2:19:37Speaker 2: The guy from Friday the 13th, Jason Voorhees, never spoke. Exactly.
- 2:19:40Speaker 4: He wore the hockey mask, whereas Freddy Krueger was, it
- 2:19:43Speaker 4: was like, you know, England said to the director, he
- 2:19:46Speaker 4: was such a big part of that film that you
- 2:19:48Speaker 4: could not just simply recast someone else.
- 2:19:51Speaker 3: And put the makeup on and expect the same character.
- 2:19:53Speaker 2: There's a really bad, this is probably the most badass
- 2:19:56Speaker 2: fact that I have about Freddy Krueger in A Nightmare
- 2:19:59Speaker 2: on Elm Street. In an interview with Robert Englund, they
- 2:20:02Speaker 2: asked him, like, so how did you make this role yours?
- 2:20:06Speaker 2: What were you doing? Why is this so iconic? What
- 2:20:09Speaker 2: did you do with that claw? Why does everyone know
- 2:20:11Speaker 2: that claw so well? And he goes. Because I treated
- 2:20:15Speaker 2: it like a gun on every shot. I kept thinking
- 2:20:18Speaker 2: about the old cowboys, the old westerns. And they always
- 2:20:21Speaker 2: would have that thing right there on their hip. And
- 2:20:24Speaker 2: now you will never see Freddy Krueger the same way.
- 2:20:27Speaker 2: You'll always feel like he's holding this gun on you.
- 2:20:29Speaker 2: He's holding it by his side as if he is
- 2:20:32Speaker 2: a cowboy with his six-shooter. In almost all promos and
- 2:20:36Speaker 2: all of those shots. It's right there when he's walking down.
- 2:20:39Speaker 2: How funny is that? That's so cool. That would be
- 2:20:41Speaker 2: right up his era, his age and stuff. Oh, yeah.
- 2:20:43Speaker 2: Those Westerns, John Wayne and Clint Eastwood Westerns would have
- 2:20:46Speaker 2: been the thing. He was a huge spaghetti Western guy.
- 2:20:49Speaker 1: Oh, man.
- 2:20:49Speaker 2: And he took that. So when you see that famous
- 2:20:52Speaker 2: legendary pose from Freddie and he's got it down by
- 2:20:55Speaker 2: the side. That's great, dude. It's his shout out to
- 2:20:58Speaker 2: John Wayne. For real, real. Yeah, yeah. It's so cool.
- 2:21:01Speaker 5: By the way, shout out to Jim. You get a
- 2:21:03Speaker 5: bell for Heather Langdenkamp, played Nancy Thompson.
- 2:21:05Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go.
- 2:21:06Speaker 3: Wow. Well, we know who his crush was.
- 2:21:08Speaker 2: All right. 407-916-1041. Text us 77031. You got something you
- 2:21:12Speaker 2: heard of here first there, kiddo? Yeah.
- 2:21:14Speaker 4: Actually, a follow-up to something we just talked about a
- 2:21:16Speaker 4: little while ago. Let's just say it didn't take Wheel
- 2:21:19Speaker 4: of Fortune very long to make their decision.
- 2:21:21Speaker 2: Oh, really?
- 2:21:22Speaker 4: If you liked a game on your Xbox, Microsoft really,
- 2:21:25Speaker 4: really hates you. I don't even game, and I'm pissed
- 2:21:29Speaker 4: off about this story. And then Waffle House is testing
- 2:21:33Speaker 4: out something new.
- 2:21:34Speaker 2: All right.
- 2:21:34Speaker 3: We'll talk about that next during You Heard It Here First.
- 2:21:36Speaker 2: You got it. Let's take a little break. We'll come
- 2:21:38Speaker 2: back and get Deb's news and get the hell out
- 2:21:39Speaker 2: of here on a Friday.
- 2:21:43Speaker 1: It's time for a Talkback Purge on The Jim Colbert Show.
- 2:21:48Speaker 2: Jimmy, did you say dad jokes?
- 2:21:52Speaker 11: Fine.
- 2:21:52Speaker 1: All right.
- 2:21:52Speaker 2: Here we go. Jimmy, where can you find an ocean
- 2:21:55Speaker 2: with no water? I don't know. On a map, silly.
- 2:22:00Speaker 1: Big deal.
- 2:22:03Speaker 2: Hey, the thing about kidney is it can regenerate. It
- 2:22:06Speaker 2: can heal itself.
- 2:22:07Speaker 14: Now, kidneys, important thing is to stay hydrated.
- 2:22:15Speaker 3: That's awesome.
- 2:22:16Speaker 2: Give me some. Give it. Give it.
- 2:22:21Speaker 3: So I don't think they've done it, and I think
- 2:22:23Speaker 3: it would be... be a challenge to pull off, but
- 2:22:25Speaker 3: John Carpenter's The Thing would be really cool.
- 2:22:30Speaker 2: A movie that doesn't get spoken about in this genre enough.
- 2:22:33Speaker 2: It is brilliant. If you haven't seen John Carpenter's The Thing,
- 2:22:36Speaker 2: it is absolutely out of bounds. They had a Thing house? Yeah,
- 2:22:40Speaker 2: they did.
- 2:22:42Speaker 10: What's going on, Colbert crew? I was listening to the
- 2:22:47Speaker 10: trivia and the shine in there, that information. If you
- 2:22:51Speaker 10: want to check out That hotel, it's in Colorado up
- 2:22:56Speaker 10: in Estes. It's the Stanley Hotel.
- 2:23:01Speaker 2: Super cool. You can do the tour.
- 2:23:03Speaker 10: It was really awesome.
- 2:23:05Speaker 2: They got a sick, sick whiskey collection.
- 2:23:09Speaker 7: They do.
- 2:23:09Speaker 2: Like over a thousand different types. One of the best ever, actually.
- 2:23:12Speaker 2: When you go into that bar, it's actually where they
- 2:23:15Speaker 2: filmed part of Dumb and Dumber. When he walks out
- 2:23:20Speaker 2: of the bar and says, we landed on the moon,
- 2:23:22Speaker 2: that's at the Stanley. He's leaving the room that this
- 2:23:25Speaker 2: guy's talking about. There's more bourbon in that room you
- 2:23:27Speaker 2: could ever imagine. It's amazing, dude. What does a lizard
- 2:23:32Speaker 2: do when it loses its tail? Uh-oh. I don't know.
- 2:23:35Speaker 2: It goes to the retail store.
- 2:23:38Speaker 7: Oh.
- 2:23:39Speaker 2: When it comes to puns, that one's pretty good.
- 2:23:40Speaker 3: Wait. Wait. There we go.
- 2:23:48Speaker 14: Want to play a game?
- 2:23:48Speaker 2: It's the piper at the gate to dawn. Light the candle.
- 2:23:55Speaker 1: Flip the pancake.
- 2:23:56Speaker 2: Atta boy, go get him. I thought that was a
- 2:24:08Speaker 2: fart again.
- 2:24:09Speaker 3: No, that's dicky dicky doof.
- 2:24:12Speaker 5: All right, welcome back to the Jim Colbert Show, Real

- 2:24:19Speaker 5: let's do You Heard It Here First.
- 2:24:21Speaker 1: It's time for You Heard It Here First on the
- 2:24:24Speaker 1: Jim Colbert Show.
- 2:24:26Speaker 4: Well, well, well, the ink hadn't even dried on our
- 2:24:29Speaker 4: last conversation. Wheel of Fortune announcer Jim Thornton has been
- 2:24:32Speaker 4: fired from the game show after an investigation following a
- 2:24:36Speaker 4: mid-flight incident in May where he was Reportedly caught in
- 2:24:40Speaker 4: a chat room for pedophiles.
- 2:24:42Speaker 2: Ross actually said he went to and found out more
- 2:24:45Speaker 2: of what was on that screen and he said the
- 2:24:46Speaker 2: stuff I read wasn't even the bad stuff. Yeah, there's
- 2:24:49Speaker 2: literally a part in the conversation that goes, are you
- 2:24:53Speaker 2: sure you want to look at this on the plane?
- 2:24:55Speaker 2: Aren't you worried about someone seeing? And literally, I'm like,
- 2:24:59Speaker 2: it's way worse than what we have released. One still
- 2:25:03Speaker 2: image will make you go. That guy's a monster.
- 2:25:05Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
- 2:25:06Speaker 4: And thank God the passenger next to him had the
- 2:25:08Speaker 4: wherewithal to take the photos of it.
- 2:25:10Speaker 1: Right.
- 2:25:10Speaker 2: Also, that website exists. Yeah. And we said that website
- 2:25:15Speaker 2: up on this program.
- 2:25:16Speaker 4: Well, according to insiders, Thornton not only got fired, but
- 2:25:19Speaker 4: he won't be heard on the show when it returns
- 2:25:21Speaker 4: for a new season on September 14th.
- 2:25:23Speaker 2: They're racing this fool.
- 2:25:24Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, as an interim announcer has revoiced all of
- 2:25:27Speaker 4: Thornton's parts on the show.
- 2:25:28Speaker 1: Damn.
- 2:25:29Speaker 3: No permanent replacement has been announced.
- 2:25:31Speaker 2: Come on, Ruben. I have a friend, Ruben. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 2:25:34Speaker 2: He loves Real Radio. That's right. He's a big warm-up guy,
- 2:25:36Speaker 2: big announcer. Works for Steve Harvey, man. I'm rooting for you.
- 2:25:39Speaker 3: I'm rooting for Ruben as well. All right, X-Game console
- 2:25:42Speaker 3: players here. Where are you?
- 2:25:44Speaker 2: Right here, man. Xbox.
- 2:25:45Speaker 4: Oh, wow.
- 2:25:46Speaker 3: Do you notice that this one over here, Jim, was
- 2:25:48Speaker 3: the first one to go Xbox?
- 2:25:49Speaker 2: I'm an Xbox guy.
- 2:25:50Speaker 4: Okay, well, this won't have to actually affect you. But
- 2:25:53Speaker 4: for you guys who really like to game and game seriously.
- 2:25:56Speaker 2: What did they do wrong? They have this massive opportunity
- 2:25:59Speaker 2: to win over a lot of gamers. Watch this. Swing
- 2:26:03Speaker 2: and miss.
- 2:26:03Speaker 4: And they just continue to ruin it, right? So not
- 2:26:06Speaker 4: only limiting your physical games and digitals, Xbox Game Pass
- 2:26:11Speaker 4: subscribers are going to face monthly cloud gaming time limits
- 2:26:15Speaker 4: starting in November. So Microsoft currently allows unlimited cloud gaming
- 2:26:20Speaker 4: for Game Pass users. Game Pass Ultimate, which costs about
- 2:26:24Speaker 4: $ 22. 99 per month, will have access to only 15, that's
- 2:26:29Speaker 4: one five, hours of cloud gaming a month. Of course,
- 2:26:34Speaker 4: before having to purchase additional cloud play time.
- 2:26:37Speaker 3: Wow. Xbox said the limits were due to the rising cost.
- 2:26:41Speaker 4: Of cloud gaming. And Jack, you just recently moved from
- 2:26:43Speaker 4: the top tier.
- 2:26:45Speaker 2: To a lower tier. Yeah. And where it's only five
- 2:26:48Speaker 2: hours a month, but that's for cloud gaming. If you're,
- 2:26:51Speaker 2: You're streaming. It's not just downloading the games. That's huge.
- 2:26:55Speaker 4: Yes.
- 2:26:56Speaker 2: That saves the day for me.
- 2:26:57Speaker 5: They said it's only 4% of their current user base
- 2:27:01Speaker 5: are really going to be affected, and then they can
- 2:27:02Speaker 5: buy more. So, yes, for some people, it will affect them. Me,
- 2:27:08Speaker 5: not so much.
- 2:27:08Speaker 2: Oh, good.
- 2:27:09Speaker 4: At the same time, it makes me wonder, what's going
- 2:27:11Speaker 4: to be your next step? Microsoft, what's going to be
- 2:27:14Speaker 4: your next step?
- 2:27:15Speaker 2: Well, I mean, because the whole thing was you could
- 2:27:17Speaker 2: stream a video game for a while. I was just
- 2:27:20Speaker 2: opening up Google Chrome on my Apple laptop and then
- 2:27:24Speaker 2: playing Xbox. I would just go on and stream a game.
- 2:27:28Speaker 2: You can connect to your controller, Bluetooth, but it also
- 2:27:31Speaker 2: wasn't perfect. Yeah, yeah.
- 2:27:33Speaker 3: And then finally, Waffle House is testing pancakes?
- 2:27:37Speaker 2: Cocktails. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Appetizers.
- 2:27:40Speaker 3: Tacos.
- 2:27:41Speaker 2: Oh.
- 2:27:42Speaker 4: Yeah, the Norcross-based chain is launching, has launched a trial
- 2:27:46Speaker 4: taste in Atlanta only, where they're going to wrap iconic
- 2:27:50Speaker 4: fillings like cheesesteak, chicken, and patty melts into warm flour tortillas.
- 2:27:54Speaker 4: And yes, the usual Waffle House hash browns, loaded, chunked,
- 2:27:58Speaker 4: and diced. can still ride shotgun alongside them.
- 2:28:02Speaker 2: Wow, what a weird thing. I was really looking forward
- 2:28:04Speaker 2: to Waffle House doing something cool.
- 2:28:05Speaker 3: And you heard it here first on the Jim Colbert Show.
- 2:28:08Speaker 2: If you get drunk enough, any food can be a taco. Oh, yeah.
- 2:28:11Speaker 2: That's a good point. I thought they were going to
- 2:28:14Speaker 2: take a waffle, turn it into a taco shell, and
- 2:28:17Speaker 2: put breakfast stuff in there. That would be kind of
- 2:28:19Speaker 2: a cool idea. You can do that right now. You'll
- 2:28:21Speaker 2: get some looks. It's a pizza slice, not if you
- 2:28:23Speaker 2: fold it right.
- 2:28:24Speaker 7: Yeah.
