  Speaker 3: ways to navigate, get into podcasts. Almost every band has

  Speaker 3: a mix station. So if you have one band, let's
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: say you're a Boston fan, right? Well, when you log
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: into the Boston channel, right, not only will you get Boston,
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: you'll get like a lot of Boston-associated kind of bands
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: on your playlist, which I love, by the way. Because
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: I'll type in my tool playlist, or I'll choose the
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: tool channel, and I get like Soundgarden and Alice in
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: Chains and... Stone Temple Pilots, and all kinds of cool stuff.
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: Like a smorgasbord.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, yeah. How are you guys doing today? Everybody good?
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: So far, so good. And I agree. Ross, you're right.
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: The Prisoner of Azkaban is the best book.
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: Really?
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: It's the best Potter book.
• 2:39
  Speaker 7: I shouldn't say it's the best book of all time,
• 2:41
  Speaker 7: but out of the series and movies, I think Azkaban
• 2:43
  Speaker 7: is the best.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: I don't remember it to differ. I read them all.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: I doubt Ross. I don't believe Ross read any. But
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: I read them all.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: What a shot. What a shot. But I can't remember
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: which one is which.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Now, did you say did or could?
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Neither.
• 2:58
  Speaker 7: I am happy to say that I did read Prisoner
• 3:01
  Speaker 7: of Azkaban.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Really? Is that the only one you read?
• 3:04
  Speaker 9: Nope.
• 3:04
  Speaker 7: I did buy and read the first three. I did
• 3:07
  Speaker 7: get the fourth. I saw the size of the fourth
• 3:10
  Speaker 7: and decided to go outside.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: There was a big jump from three to four.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: It was huge. And then each one got bigger and
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: bigger and bigger. Oh, yeah, exactly.
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: That's why they had to split them into two movies.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Dude, my kid has read every one of the Harry
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Potter books, like, twice. She loves that series so much.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: But the one thing, I tell you something I busted
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: my wife doing the other day. She was, well, no, stop.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: She was, I was out doing some projects.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: You should knock first.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: I was out doing some projects around the house, and
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: I walk in.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: It's Sunday. It's Sunday.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: And I said, hey, look, when I get done with
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: these projects, I want to come in and watch some football.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: She goes, no problem whatsoever. So I go out. I
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: come in after a couple hours, and I walk in there,
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: and she's watching Twilight.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, so good.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: I'm like, what are you, a tween? What are you
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: doing over here? Are you watching, like, this 11th grade porn?
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: Apparently, you were never at the book signings or anything
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: or the movies with Twilight because it would be a
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: gaggle of teen girls.
• 3:56
  Speaker 10: Oh, man.
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: And a gaggle of their moms.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Their moms, yeah, yeah.
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: And everyone had to decide if they were Team Edward.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Right, yeah, yeah, yeah. I've been asked. Trust me.
• 4:05
  Speaker 7: It's funny that we're talking.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: They've asked you what team you're on? My daughters ask
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: me what team I'm on. Ooh, you're Jacob.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: No, no, no.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: I chose Edward in a second. Jake is a.
• 4:15
  Speaker 7: What a plot twist. That was your reasoning.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: I was not expecting that.
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: He's not attractive enough for you?
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: It has nothing to do with that. I just thought
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Edward was the cooler of the two.
• 4:23
  Speaker 10: The other guy.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, the werewolf's pretty... I mean.
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: Actually, he's not a werewolf.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: He's just a wolf.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: By the way, the Edwards guy, very androgynous. Like, I
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: hadn't seen. That's the one you prefer.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: I hadn't seen him. Now we know why.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: I hadn't seen him in a while, and they put
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: him on screen. I'm like, dude, I didn't realize he
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: was wearing lipstick the entire time. He's very androgynous.
• 4:45
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I love Twilight solely off of Robert Pattinson got
• 4:49
  Speaker 7: a career off of it, and I think he is
• 4:51
  Speaker 7: a generational actor on a generational run as well.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: And would you agree that one of the few actors
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: that had such an iconic role that was able to
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: break that mold? A lot of people who have a
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: role like that with a trilogy film that was like
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: a cultural phenomenon have a really difficult time breaking that
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: mold and moving into other roles. But this guy did
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: not have that issue.
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: And he'd already been in Harry Potter.
• 5:14
  Speaker 7: And it also helps that he can act his pants off,
• 5:17
  Speaker 7: put his skill set against anybody else in that Twilight series.
• 5:22
  Speaker 7: It's not that close. Was he Cedric Diggory?
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: Yes, he was Cedric Diggory, who grabbed the portkey at
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: the same time and ended up in the graveyard where
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: Voldemort and Wormtail... don't say what you're missing you're the
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: only one who does has no idea nerd alarm nerd
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: alarm that's okay you can stay there it is another.
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: Thing about robert pattison is that he is the only
• 5:48
  Speaker 7: actor i think out of the twilight series that went
• 5:51
  Speaker 7: on just he was hungry and thirsty for out there
• 5:54
  Speaker 7: roles with small budgets from independent agreed.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Agreed like Batman, uh, the lighthouse.
• 6:01
  Speaker 7: And although these movies not be, might not be for everyone,
• 6:05
  Speaker 7: they are really for the people that they were made for.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: And that's when I fell in love with him. That one,
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: the 17 something 17 or whatever, where he was like,
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: it was like a, he was like a video game character. Uh,
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: Mickey 17, 17 was a very interesting movie.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:18
  Speaker 7: That was an interesting one. And don't get me started
• 6:20
  Speaker 7: about that film.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: I wanted more out of that. All right.
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: 407-916-1041.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Text us 77031.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: I have a protocol, not a protocol, but, uh, uh,
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: A decorum question.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Can I ask? Sure.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: So today we had meetings in the building. I had
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: to be here at 1045 this morning so I could
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: go through 13 minutes of meetings. And when we got here,
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: you know, everybody's milling about. So what happens is the
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: sales reps go into a building. They have a meeting.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: And then a talent from all over the cluster, whether
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: it be for Excel or Roomba or whomever, us here
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: at Real Radio, we meet with these reps and kind
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: of go over some client possibilities to get new business
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: in the building, right? These are things that we do
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: throughout the year. This is one that just happened today.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: And my question is this, how many times do you
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: have to pass somebody in a hallway before you don't
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: have to acknowledge them?
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Oh, good one.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: Do you understand what I'm saying, Jack?
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 7:14
  Speaker 7: So the building is not like a maze, but it
• 7:16
  Speaker 7: does have a maze-ish kind of feel to it. And
• 7:18
  Speaker 7: as you're walking through the hallways, you pass the same
• 7:21
  Speaker 7: people over and over. I passed one person today literally
• 7:25
  Speaker 7: six times. And I acknowledged the person twice. And then
• 7:30
  Speaker 7: after that, did not make eye contact.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: And it felt.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: Weird to pass somebody in a hallway that you're going
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: to walk by like a foot away. And not say anything,
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: even though you've just done it two other times.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: It is weird. It is weird, right? You need to
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: do something. Every time? Yeah, but it can diminish what
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: you have to do. Head nod. Yeah, a head nod. Smile.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Just a little, hmm. Raising an eyebrow. Eight minutes before that,
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: I did it. And that's what it's acknowledging. It's like, no,
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 8:02
  Speaker 11: Again?
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I thought about this a lot before
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: I wrote it down today. Well, I don't know. I
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: think two is the answer. If Ross and I are
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: doing this, and I pass Ross in the hallway a
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: couple times, and I do the nod thing, the third time,
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: I'm just going to power right by. I'm not going
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: to say anything. And I wouldn't have any problem if
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: you did the same. Yeah, but you're going to do
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: his RBF.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: No, I'm not going to do it. Rest in bitch face. Yeah,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: you are.
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: I'm not.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: I'm just going to walk. There's nothing wrong with just
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: walking by, right?
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: You never just walk by.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: You always have RBF.
• 8:34
  Speaker 7: You've never walked by yourself before. That is a very,
• 8:40
  Speaker 7: very good point. It's quick and kind of scary.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Purposeful.
• 8:45
  Speaker 7: You got a quick first step.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's an alpha gait. It's very aggressive.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: You have an aggressive gait.
• 8:51
  Speaker 11: I do.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: I walk with purpose. That's for sure.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: That's what I've told my daughters because everybody had to
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: keep up with me when we were doing anything when
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: they were kids.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: I live in fear you're going to pick me up
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: and throw me over your shoulder.
• 9:00
  Speaker 9: Stop.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: I've only done that once and that was a lot
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: of sake, Jack.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Come on. A lot of sake. It was a lot
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: of sake. Sake to you. The drink. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 9:09
  Speaker 7: I was like, is this what you guys call it?
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: A lot of sake. Sake make you crazy. Sake has
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: the same vibe that Jaeger has for me.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: That's interesting.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, sake is a weird drunk, dude. That may be
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: the most bizarre drunk.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Of all time. You feel like that's the closest I feel.
• 9:27
  Speaker 7: Like when I hear people talk about what it's like
• 9:29
  Speaker 7: to smoke meth. Sake is the closest thing to that.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: You feel invincible when you drink sake.
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: See, for me, the dream has always been absinthe.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: Because anyone who was like, you know, an Anne Rice
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: fan or a Goth fan.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: The Green Fairy, baby.
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: The Green Fairy. You love the movie Moulin Rouge, you know,
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: with Toulouse-Lautrec losing his mind with the Green Fairy.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: But you can't.
• 9:57
  Speaker 11: I wouldn't want.
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: It's just like, what's the one from Greece? they say
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: that if you drink it here in the States, you're
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: not really getting the real– Ouzo.
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: Ouzo.
• 10:04
  Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: That's like Jäger, too. When you drink a European Jäger
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: or a Jäger from– I think it's Austria or Germany.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Where's Jäger? Austria? I thought it was Germany.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: Germany?
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, one of those anyway.
• 10:16
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: It's way different. It's way more herbal. It has a
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: much more medicinal flavor to it. I like sake just
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: because I'm drinking rice. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But sake, that
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: rice alcohol is a different machine for me.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Some people, it's tequila.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: Some people, it's whiskey or any dark liquor. I know
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: people who can't drink dark liquor. It makes them nuts.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: None of that really has that effect on me, but
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: sake has that effect on me. Jaeger produced and bottled
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: in Germany.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Germany.
• 10:44
  Speaker 12: Okay.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: There you go. What's that? Lower Saxony.
• 10:48
  Speaker 7: We've seen it coming with the Meister. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 10:50
  Speaker 7: with the Meister. Jaeger as well.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: All right, 407-916-1041, text us 77031. So do you guys
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: agree it's like two or three times, or do you
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: have to acknowledge it? Ross, are you acknowledging every time? No,
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: I would think I'm five out of six, and I'll
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: fake one of them. That last time we got it. Debra,
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: are you every time?
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: That's a tough time. I'll at least smile like Jack.
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: I'll smile, do a what's up.
• 11:13
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: How do you come up with something clever to say
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: every single time? And by the way, this is just
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: one person. This happened with four different people.
• 11:19
  Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: No one is expecting that from you. I appreciate that.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: But what else are you doing? If you're just looking
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: straight ahead. You're just walking by him, dude.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Just like you would walk anybody. So you're ignoring them.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: Not ignoring. It's not like you're even looking at your
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: phone while you're walking.
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: No, no, no.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: I'm just walking straight forward like I've never met him.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: I think it's kind of weird.
• 11:36
  Speaker 13: All right.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: Very good.
• 11:37
  Speaker 7: I mean, how fast.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Hey, man.
• 11:40
  Speaker 7: Eyebrow raise.
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: Sup.
• 11:42
  Speaker 14: Dap.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Magnets. Just did that twice. Oh, my goodness. A tip
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: of the hat.
• 11:48
  Speaker 7: I just riffed off six. I think I could do six.
• 11:50
  Speaker 10: All right.

  Speaker 2: Deborah.
• 12:00
  Speaker 10: Yes.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: What's coming up for news?
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: King tides remain a very big issue in central Florida. Meanwhile,
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: Trump grants a major disaster declaration for Florida and a
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: big honor for a local music legend. We'll talk about
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: all of that and more coming up next during JCS News.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: You got it.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: Take a little break. Back in a sec with Debs
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: News and we'll continue on with the Jim Colbert Show.
• 12:31
  Speaker 15: Do not need to just acknowledge people. Just because we
• 12:36
  Speaker 15: work together and we're walking in the same hallway 20
• 12:38
  Speaker 15: times a day doesn't mean we need to say hi
• 12:40
  Speaker 15: or make eye contact. However, I also like being really
• 12:45
  Speaker 15: passive-aggressive when people are trying to ignore me. So if
• 12:49
  Speaker 15: someone is noticeably not trying to make eye contact, After
• 12:52
  Speaker 15: I pass them, I'll turn around and say, sure, in
• 12:54
  Speaker 15: a rush, aren't we?
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: Or something like that. I wonder why they're trying to
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: avoid it.
• 13:00
  Speaker 16: JCS crew.
• 13:01
  Speaker 14: What up?
• 13:02
  Speaker 16: Deborah, you called it. That soccer story, I'm leaving, going
• 13:07
  Speaker 16: to work, and TMZ got a hold of it. It's
• 13:10
  Speaker 16: just a big mess. It don't make no sense on
• 13:13
  Speaker 16: why they called the police. They could have had a
• 13:15
  Speaker 16: conversation about it. But, yeah, you called this one.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: You were correct.
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: It was on The View today.
• 13:21
  Speaker 10: Oh, yeah.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Was it really? Yes, it was.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: It was everywhere yesterday and the day before.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: Welcome back to the Jim Colbert Show. Real Radio 104.1
• 13:29

  Speaker 2: I'm Jim.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: Jack and Ross are right in front of me, staring
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: at me uncomfortably.
• 13:39
  Speaker 7: That was a good pause between the two names.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it really was. And then, Deb has your news.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: Let's go.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: It's time for JCS News.
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: Don't tell me.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: What to do.
• 13:51
  Speaker 17: Call back.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: It's in my contract, dude.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Here's the news on the Jim Colbert Show.
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: And JCS News is brought to you by that mortgage guy, Don.
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: King tides continue to bring dangerous coastal conditions to central Florida,
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: including Daytona Beach, Cape Canaveral, Fort Pierce areas. They're saying...
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: In some areas in Brevard County, there are sand cliffs
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: 14 feet high. The National Weather Service's warning of flooding,
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: beach erosion, and rough surf, a coastal flood warning, and
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: high surf advisory remain in effect through early Friday.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: We're not out at.
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: The end of the woods until the end of the week,
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: while dangerous rip currents are expected to continue through late Friday.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: Many Floridians, unfortunately, are left high and dry without flood
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: insurance to cover the damage caused by the king tides.
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: They're stuck with this big, huge problem and they don't
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: have coverage for it because their standard homeowners policy will
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: not provide coverage for flood damage. If you find yourself
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: in that situation, reach out to FEMA, see if that's
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: possible to get assistance through FEMA.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because that's always easy. Yeah, yeah.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: They're a real community.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: Insurance attorney Brandon Arrow says, Generally, your claim goes to
• 15:03
  Speaker 6: your National Flood Insurance Program policy or your private flood policy.
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: Keep in mind, Citizens has ordered a lot of Floridians
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: to get flood insurance, even though they're not in flood zones.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: Andy advises home and business owners to look up the
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: National Flood Insurance Program handbook online. To find out exactly
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: what is covered, in addition, immediately document the flood damage
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: with photos before cleaning up and drying anything out.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: But King Tide only affects people along the coast. Generally, yeah, exactly.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: Wouldn't that automatically be considered a flood zone?
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: No, no, not necessarily because King Tide can also affect
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: the people upriver too.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: Like Astor. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so all those people off the St.
• 15:45
  Speaker 11: Johns.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: But if you're on a body of water, it seems
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: to me that that would be automatically be a flood zone.
• 15:52
  Speaker 7: Oh, Jack, get out of here with your great logic.
• 15:56
  Speaker 7: Sounds completely right. I mean, I do not know the
• 16:00
  Speaker 7: answer to that. Get away with that bulletproof reasoning.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: But I think what you're saying is flood insurance isn't
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: included in your homeowner's insurance, right?
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: It's a separate policy.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: You have to add that as a separate policy, right?
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 16:10
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: Meanwhile, the Miami Herald says an unprecedented amount of saltwater
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: has surged into coastal communities from Miami to Palm Beach
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: this week, flooding streets and businesses. In fact, on Tuesday,
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: both Fort Lauderdale and Miami registered over two feet of
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: water above high tide. Record show, it was the most
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: floodwater ever recorded in Miami outside of a hurricane. But
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: don't worry about it. It's not like it's home to
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: really expensive real.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: Estate or cars. Yeah, sure.
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah. Yeah, because the record king ties have submerged
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: all kinds of vehicles, including a luxury Lamborghini Corvette C8.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: And an 812 Superfast Ferrari.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 16:51
  Speaker 6: In Palm Beach. Now, insurance expert Mark Friedlander says, guess what?
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: Your vehicle is not covered for flood damage if you
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: opted for a simple... car insurance policy.
• 17:01
  Speaker 18: Even if the damage is caused to your home, for example,
• 17:05
  Speaker 18: your home sustained damage from the flood, the vehicles are separate.
• 17:09
  Speaker 18: So the vehicles need to be covered by comprehensive auto,
• 17:12
  Speaker 18: even if they're sitting in your garage.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Now, to me, that's the kick in the teeth. Yeah,
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: even if it's in your garage. Even if your vehicles are.
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: In your garage, they're not covered by your homeowner's insurance policy.
• 17:22
  Speaker 6: He urges Florida drivers to make sure you have comprehensive
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: auto insurance coverage. Something that Glenn Klausman from Klausman Law
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: has told us before in the past, not as often
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: as uninsured motorist coverage.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: What about if your car was in your living room? Yeah, yeah, still.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: You're screwed.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: And there's probably at least 10 people affected listening to
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: us right now with that.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: Dan Tanner.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: I remember during one of the hurricanes that was coming
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: in that they said was going to be a direct hit.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: people with really expensive cars were going to garages and
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: paying them to put their, their car up on the lift.
• 17:54
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: And others like, just put my car here. I'll pay
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: you a thousand dollars a day or whatever. Just store
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: my $ 400, 000 Lambo up as high as you possibly can.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: We're paying them like per day costs for that.
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: And again, right now we're dealing with King tides. I
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: guess they're the highest predictable tides that we deal with
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: all year, but all of this information will hopefully not
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: need to come in handy, but yeah, With the El
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: Nino that we could be looking at with being inundated
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: with rain this winter season, it pays to keep this
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: in mind. Because, you know, heightened risk of storms and
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: flooding in our state. Also, it's up to the insurance
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: adjuster to decline your claim if you intentionally drove into
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: a flooded area. Another reason why it's so important that
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: when you're driving around town, don't take the risk of
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: driving where you can't see the bottom of the road.
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: Because if your car stalls out and gets flooded... done
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: it may be your insurance adjuster may say well yeah
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: why do you drive.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Into it because you chose to.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: Drive exactly right that's how they get you that's how
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: they get you so mad we should.
• 18:53
  Speaker 7: Call them sin insurance yeah yeah they're filled with sin
• 18:56
  Speaker 7: dirty sins sorry i.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: Just get so mad i.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: Didn't know you canceled my policy for just being dumb.
• 19:03
  Speaker 6: If only they could right no one would be all
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: right we are going to be talking to the folks
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: who had the seminole county mosquito control. And that's going
• 19:14
  Speaker 6: to be timely because there is now a new case
• 19:17
  Speaker 6: of dengue fever in Seminole County. The county announced the
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: case Monday, but no details were provided. Dengue fever, also
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: known as breakbone fever, is spread by infected mosquitoes. And
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: in response, the county says it'll increase ground fogging and
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: other activities to stop the spread. You can learn more
• 19:35
  Speaker 6: when they join us in the 5 o'clock hour. But
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: you can also visit SeminoleCountyFL.gov. All right, Florida communities hit
• 19:42
  Speaker 6: by Hurricane Isaias are getting federal disaster relief. President Trump
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: has approved a major disaster declaration allowing funding for emergency
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: response and repairs in 15 counties. The money can help
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: cover debris removal, emergency protective measures, and repairs to roads, buildings,
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: and other infrastructure. Individual assistance for homeowners and renters is
• 20:04
  Speaker 6: still under review. Okay, where evolution belongs in Florida's public
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: school curriculum is up for debate. Florida Education Commissioner Henry
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: Mack was in Orange County yesterday to host a discussion
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: about the state's science standards. Some of those at the
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: meeting at Lake Buena Vista High School say the curriculum
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: doesn't play up evolution enough. Mack has held similar discussions
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: around the state as he considers revising the education standards.
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: He says his goal is to get students convinced of
• 20:36
  Speaker 6: the rigor of the scientific method. I don't know. But
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: if you've seen any of the Instagram reels where you
• 20:42
  Speaker 6: ask kids, like, what are the four directions on a compass?
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And they can't answer.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: They say cherry, pineapple, raspberry, vanilla.
• 20:51
  Speaker 7: I just saw an NFL quarterback just find out that
• 20:55
  Speaker 7: percent is out of 100.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 20:57
  Speaker 19: No.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. It is terrible.
• 21:00
  Speaker 7: It is some time to be alive. He's not a
• 21:04
  Speaker 7: wonder licker, huh?
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: No.
• 21:06
  Speaker 7: I don't know how well Orlovsky did on that test.
• 21:09
  Speaker 9: Oh, wow.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
• 21:11
  Speaker 10: All right.
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: This next story is just absolutely tragic. A 19-year-old woman
• 21:16
  Speaker 6: has died after she was thrown from a motorcycle and
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: then hit by a semi truck.
• 21:21
  Speaker 17: Yeah.
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: The accident happened last night on I-95 in Ormond Beach.
• 21:25
  Speaker 6: Authorities say a motorcycle driven by a 23-year-old man was
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: speeding and then accelerated, causing the woman to be thrown
• 21:33
  Speaker 6: off the back of the bike. She was then hit
• 21:35
  Speaker 6: by a semi and died at the scene. Both the
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: motorcycle driver and the truck driver remained in the area.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: FHP is investigating. In the area?
• 21:45
  Speaker 6: Well, I mean, at least, I mean, look at how
• 21:46
  Speaker 6: many hit and run crashes we talk about. I think
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: Florida may be one of the worst states in the
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: country when it comes to hit and runs. I mean,
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: which always makes it worse.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, it just is weird.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: Like a woman dying in the street, lying there in
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: a puddle of herself, and these guys are at Cracker
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: Barrel down the road. That's what you like in the area.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: I mean, like they stayed right there.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
• 22:06
  Speaker 12: All right.
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: A DeBerry man is under arrest in connection to an
• 22:09
  Speaker 6: international murder investigation. Volusia County Sheriff's officials believed Epifanio Ramos
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: Gaminde killed his wife, Maria.
• 22:18
  Speaker 7: Jim's turn.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: News is over. Next segment.
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: Killed his wife, Maria, who's been missing since January 2024. Now,
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: he claims she voluntarily left for the Philippines or Japan,
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: but text messages, emails and overseas purchases raised red flags.
• 22:41
  Speaker 6: It's always that That tricky digital evidence, right?
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ask Dale Smith. Yeah, exactly.
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: He was arrested and charged with first-degree murder following a
• 22:51
  Speaker 6: grand jury indictment. Again, very interesting for him to be
• 22:54
  Speaker 6: facing a charge of first-degree murder considering his wife's body
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: has not yet been found. But obviously, they must feel
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: that all of that electronic evidence is going to be
• 23:04
  Speaker 6: enough for them to secure that conviction. I believe it
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: was his niece. who was making purchases in the Philippines,
• 23:10
  Speaker 6: I believe under her name, and that's what started causing
• 23:13
  Speaker 6: the red flags. All right, this next story, you know,
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: it's one thing to pat yourself on the back.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: And then there's times when you maybe should wait.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: Orange Osceola State Attorney Monique Worrell says crime is down
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: in Orlando. She made the announcement during a quarterly update
• 23:34
  Speaker 6: on cases and convictions reported And made sure to thank herself.
• 23:39
  Speaker 20: And according to reports from the Orange County Sheriff's Office,
• 23:42
  Speaker 20: over the last five.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: Years, crime is down 33%. I just want to point
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: out that for most of those five years, I was
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: in office. So, crime is down. Congratulations to us. Right.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: You got to be your own champion when you actively
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: have the state attorney and the governor calling you out
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: for your job and you're removing you from office and
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: threatening to do it a second time.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: All politicians. You need to make sure that, OK, if
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: no one else is going to tell you, I will. Yeah, exactly. Exactly.
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: And to the residents as well.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: Like, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo.
• 24:14
  Speaker 6: Help make this happen here. Worrell also highlighted the office's
• 24:18
  Speaker 6: fentanyl prosecutions and efforts to raise awareness about domestic violence.
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: She says, however, there is an increase in violent juvenile crime,
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: and the next Juvenile Justice Town Hall will be held
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: on November 10th.
• 24:31
  Speaker 7: One thing to always remember, and sometimes when my glass
• 24:34
  Speaker 7: feels a little half empty, I go back to this fact,
• 24:38
  Speaker 7: and it is a fact that this is the safest
• 24:40
  Speaker 7: time to ever be alive right now as I speak
• 24:43
  Speaker 7: to you. When you look at crime from the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, 2010s, like,
• 24:50
  Speaker 7: It's only really gotten better. Plus medicine. I don't know.
• 24:53
  Speaker 7: If you're looking for a little hope around the world
• 24:57
  Speaker 7: right now, it's still a really, really good time to
• 25:01
  Speaker 7: be alive.
• 25:02
  Speaker 6: A follow-up on a story we did last night during
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: your Heard It Here First.
• 25:06
  Speaker 7: Heard It Her First.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: Did you hear that?
• 25:08
  Speaker 10: Heard It Her.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: I heard it. I know what you're talking about.
• 25:12
  Speaker 7: Tyler Perry.
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: Just days after losing Brazil's presidential election, Flavio Bolsonaro is
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: reportedly now in Florida. Yeah, the Brazilian senator arrived in
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: Miami yesterday with his wife and two daughters after fleeing
• 25:24
  Speaker 6: their homeland. After Bolsonaro lost Sunday's election, Brazil's government ordered
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: him to surrender his passport. Instead, he Decided to take off.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll ask.
• 25:33
  Speaker 6: He's under investigation for money laundering. Have no fear, though.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: U.S.
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: Officials have said they will issue his family visas.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 25:42
  Speaker 6: I don't know if you guys stayed up to watch this.
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: Probably not. But if you did not know, there will
• 25:47
  Speaker 6: be one more game at Tropicana Field tonight. Now, let
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: me get through this. I have some fabulous baseball sound
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: for you.
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: Sure.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: The Rays came from behind in the 12th inning last night.
• 25:57
  Speaker 10: All right.
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: Earlier this morning. to get their first World Series win
• 26:01
  Speaker 6: over the Milwaukee Brewers, 4-3. Junior Caminero was safe at
• 26:05
  Speaker 6: first on an error to lead off the 12th. That
• 26:07
  Speaker 6: was followed by four straight singles, including the game winner
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: from pitch hitter Ben Williamson. Ah, forget it. Here's from
• 26:13
  Speaker 6: the Rays Radio Network. Here's the game winner.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: Faced in right field.
• 26:17
  Speaker 7: Rays win in 12.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: And we'll see you tomorrow.
• 26:22
  Speaker 21: The Rays get their first win of this World Series.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: 4-3 in 12. And they didn't need a single out.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: The season's still alive.
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: I passed out with three outs left in this game.
• 26:35
  Speaker 7: Three outs left in the ninth.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: I went to bed.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, it was 2-2. And I didn't even
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: know what was going on. I woke up this morning
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: and then saw the... and watch the YouTube highlights, and
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: it was, again, crazy. I've never seen baseball games with
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: more squibby, weird base hits than this one.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: The base hit that won it. Those seeing-eye singles? Yeah,
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: the base hit that won it was a hit.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: He hit it, and it basically hit a foot in
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: front of the plate and just bounced 25 feet in
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: the air right over the first baseman's head. The first baseman,
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: when he saw it bounce, he just started walking in.
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: He knew it was done.
• 27:08
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: He did. He knew it was over.
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: I mean, it was crazy.
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: Well, the Rays still have a long way to go,
• 27:12
  Speaker 6: and no one has ever come back from three down
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: to win a World Series. Still, Game 5's first pitch
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: is set for 8 p.m. No word yet on the Rays' starter,
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: but they'll face the Brewers' fireballer, Jacob Mizorowski.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: That's a good call-off name right there.
• 27:27
  Speaker 6: They have an.
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: Uphill climb, man, because that kid can throw it.
• 27:30
  Speaker 7: Maybe it's just a Central Florida thing to get to
• 27:33
  Speaker 7: the finals, win one game, and that's it.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 27:38
  Speaker 6: All right, Florida's theme parks continue to rank among the
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: world's most popular attractions, with Disney World's Magic Kingdom holding
• 27:46
  Speaker 6: the top spot at nearly how many visitors last year?
• 27:49
  Speaker 6: This is just last year, and this is just the
• 27:51
  Speaker 6: Magic Kingdom.
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: 31 million.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: 16 million. I'll go, I'll shoot the gap, 23 million.
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: I got to say, point Jack Bradshaw. You said 16 million?
• 28:04
  Speaker 21: I did.
• 28:04
  Speaker 6: The number is 17.8 million visitors last year. Yeah, a
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: new industry report.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: Nailed it.
• 28:11
  Speaker 6: Shows Epcot, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, and Universal Orlando's parks
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: also ranked among the globe's most visited theme parks. Universal's
• 28:20
  Speaker 6: new Epic Universe drew 4 million guests in its first
• 28:23
  Speaker 6: seven months.
• 28:24
  Speaker 16: Wow.
• 28:25
  Speaker 6: And helped drive overall growth in Central Florida attendants. The
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: TEA Global Attractions Attendance Report says Orlando remains the world's
• 28:33
  Speaker 6: leading hub for theme park development despite slight attendance declines
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: at several established parks. Then again, just go on I-4
• 28:43
  Speaker 6: anywhere near any of the theme.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: Parks and you'll be like, we're all right. We're fine.
• 28:47
  Speaker 7: Just recently, I made an impulse decision, kind of really
• 28:51
  Speaker 7: reveled in the fact that I live here in Orlando.
• 28:54
  Speaker 7: I went to Islands of Adventure with about 90 minutes
• 28:57
  Speaker 7: left of opening. And my son was just tall enough
• 29:00
  Speaker 7: to ride Cat in the Hat. It was just enough
• 29:03
  Speaker 7: time to see the projection show at Hogwarts. And the
• 29:06
  Speaker 7: weather had just broken. And it was just one of
• 29:08
  Speaker 7: those moments, man. Sometimes when the summer just takes all
• 29:11
  Speaker 7: of the soul out of your body. And then this happens.
• 29:15
  Speaker 7: You go, oh, yeah, that's right. That's why I'm here.
• 29:17
  Speaker 6: And to be able to know that you can show
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: up at a theme park with only 90 minutes. There's
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: no stress.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: There's no worry.
• 29:23
  Speaker 6: And still be able to do something. It's like being
• 29:25
  Speaker 6: able to see launches on the Central Florida coast all
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: the time.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: Make use of what you.
• 29:29
  Speaker 7: Got and a huge part of what you got is
• 29:31
  Speaker 7: your surroundings.
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: Exactly absolutely and speaking of that Ross that's a great
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: segue thank you Florida is giving country music legend John
• 29:39
  Speaker 6: Anderson a lasting tribute just a week after his death.
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: Governor Ron DeSantis has designated Anderson's hit Seminole Wind as
• 29:48
  Speaker 6: Florida's anthem and ordered historic markers in Anderson's hometown of Apopka.
• 29:52
  Speaker 6: Here's a little taste in case you don't remember the
• 29:55
  Speaker 6: song Seminole Wind.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: You know what the song's about?
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: The song's about a pretty interesting thing. The song laments
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: the destruction, draining, and commercial development of the Florida Everglades,
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: honoring ancestral lands of the Seminole tribe. That's what it's about.
• 30:21
  Speaker 6: You mean like what's going on exactly right now?
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: 100%.
• 30:24
  Speaker 6: Well, state agencies will also work to rename the Wildlife
• 30:27
  Speaker 6: Drive and Trail System at Lake Apopka North Shore in
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: his honor. One of the best birding and wildlife drives
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: you could ever take in Central Florida. Anderson died a
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: week ago, last Wednesday, October 21st, at the age of 71.
• 30:41
  Speaker 6: And that concludes your JCS News. Nidalee!
• 30:47
  Speaker 17: 708-00.
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: Jack.
• 30:50
  Speaker 7: I don't do a noise after that. I want him
• 30:53
  Speaker 7: to rebel on that. You should have gone boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
• 30:57
  Speaker 10: No.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: Come on. Too soon. Come on. It's percussion.
• 31:02
  Speaker 7: Oh, my God. Jack just put on a Redskins jersey.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: No. That's him. Come on. Cleveland Indians.
• 31:09
  Speaker 9: Cleveland.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. Washington Redskins.
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: I got my cowboy hat on. Let's go play.
• 31:14
  Speaker 7: You called me a dummy, and I was right.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: All right, Doug. Back with Daryl Payne.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Aggressive gait, his mouth is agape, aggressive gait, his mouth
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: is agape, Mr. Colbert.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: There you go, right? I mean, I don't know.
• 31:35
  Speaker 7: It's cool that the Warner Brothers frog is listening.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: I just sit here with headphones on, I have no idea.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: I don't know if.
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: It was like a Heatmiser thing you were going for,
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: that kind of.
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: All right, your 3 o'clock keyword is GRAND, G-R-A-N-D. Go

  Speaker 3: to realradio.fm and send that away for your chance at $ 1, 000.
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: Welcome back.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: I'm Jim.
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: There's Deb.
• 31:52
  Speaker 7: Hello.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: Jack is here.
• 31:54
  Speaker 10: Hi.
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: And so is Ross. Jack saved it. We'll be doing
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: Animal House at the top of the hour, but when
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: this gentleman comes in, we bring him in a little
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: bit early and for a good reason here. By the way,
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: if you have a problem with your animal's behavior, primarily
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: your dog... If he all of a sudden is peeing
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: or pooping in the house or if he hates one
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: member of your family or takes off when the door
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: is open, give us a call, 407-916-1041 at the top
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: of the hour. Daryl will take some of those calls
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: and try to give you some advice on how to
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: make your dog act a little better. You guys getting
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: loud for Daryl Payne, what do you say?
• 32:23
  Speaker 8: Yay!
• 32:24
  Speaker 11: You've got a problem with your animal. If it's anything
• 32:28
  Speaker 11: but a dog, I'll answer it, but it's going to
• 32:30
  Speaker 11: be a guess. It's going to be a dog, yeah.
• 32:33
  Speaker 11: Halloween's coming up, and we know that there are certain
• 32:35
  Speaker 11: things for Halloween that are super bad for dogs. And
• 32:38
  Speaker 11: the problem is, and I know this is a problem
• 32:41
  Speaker 11: because I did it, but it was with Easter, not
• 32:43
  Speaker 11: with Halloween, another holiday that's associated with getting candy, chocolate, rabbits,
• 32:48
  Speaker 11: or whatever. We had a dog get a hold of one.
• 32:50
  Speaker 11: A chocolate rabbit ate the entire thing. Thank God it
• 32:53
  Speaker 11: was really bad chocolate. Didn't have enough of that thing
• 32:55
  Speaker 11: in there to make it really bad for her. But,
• 32:57
  Speaker 11: you know, kids will get this chocolate. They'll get this candy.
• 33:00
  Speaker 11: They'll leave it laying around. Dogs can smell this stuff
• 33:02
  Speaker 11: from a mile away. It can cause some major problems. Yeah,
• 33:05
  Speaker 11: I think it's the thing, isn't it? Because everyone, well,
• 33:07
  Speaker 11: pretty much everyone knows you don't give chocolate to dogs.
• 33:10
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 33:10
  Speaker 11: And the higher cocoa content, then the worse it is.
• 33:14
  Speaker 11: So that dark chocolate is the very worst. But this
• 33:18
  Speaker 11: isn't about giving the dog chocolate because we know not
• 33:20
  Speaker 11: to do that.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: Right, yeah, yeah.
• 33:21
  Speaker 11: This is about leaving it around, getting the kids to
• 33:23
  Speaker 11: leave it around. Or, you know, if you put the
• 33:25
  Speaker 11: bowl outside for the kids to come and, you know,
• 33:28
  Speaker 11: grab it so you don't have to open the door,
• 33:29
  Speaker 11: that sort of thing. You know, if the dog does
• 33:31
  Speaker 11: get into it, it's not just the candy. It's the
• 33:34
  Speaker 11: xylitol in there. That's, you know, if there's sugar-free or
• 33:37
  Speaker 11: there's a sugar substitute, xylitol, or they call it other
• 33:41
  Speaker 11: names as well. But that's poisonous to dogs.
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: Also the wrappers. I mean, the fact that they eat
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: the wrapper.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: The foil, the plastics.
• 33:48
  Speaker 11: Yeah. I mean, there's nothing good in candy for dogs.
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: And that's the number. We have a list of five
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: here that you came up with, which is very awesome.
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: But let's go through these. Number two is leave the
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: candy around. But number one is really smart because, by
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: the way, we have this at jimcobertlive.com. If you want
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: to look at this list we have up and the
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: accompanying images and whatnot, it says, don't let your dog
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: greet trick-or-treaters at the door. And it seems like there
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: would be an obvious reason. For one thing, the dog
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: doesn't know these people, but there's another one I've never
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: even considered.
• 34:18
  Speaker 11: Well, here's the thing.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 34:20
  Speaker 11: We love Halloween, and it's a nice holiday, and everybody
• 34:23
  Speaker 11: has a good time, and we think the dog is
• 34:26
  Speaker 11: the same.
• 34:26
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 34:27
  Speaker 11: Because it's one of our family, and it's like, well,
• 34:28
  Speaker 11: the dog's going to have a good time. Why wouldn't it?
• 34:31
  Speaker 11: Dogs recognize facial expressions, and they recognize faces. And when
• 34:37
  Speaker 11: a face doesn't look like a normal thing that they're
• 34:40
  Speaker 11: used to, it can really freak them out.
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: So if they see a mask that has a real
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: dramatic mask or something, they would react adversely to that?
• 34:48
  Speaker 17: Absolutely.
• 34:48
  Speaker 11: We did an experiment a few years ago with eight
• 34:51
  Speaker 11: of our police dogs, and we sent them in to
• 34:53
  Speaker 11: an old hospital. We sent them in, and there was
• 34:55
  Speaker 11: a guy sitting in a chair. Just normally the dog
• 34:58
  Speaker 11: went in, barked about four or five feet away, no
• 35:02
  Speaker 11: problem at all. Once they'd gone through, we sent them
• 35:05
  Speaker 11: in again. And this time he was wearing a horrific
• 35:08
  Speaker 11: skeleton mask, one of these latex ones.
• 35:10
  Speaker 14: Right.
• 35:10
  Speaker 11: Same person, same position, everything the same except the mask.
• 35:14
  Speaker 11: And every single dog jumped back about 12 feet and
• 35:18
  Speaker 11: the bark was completely different.
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, really?
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: Like a defensive bark, an attack kind of bark type thing.
• 35:22
  Speaker 6: So you're looking at a child potentially getting bit if
• 35:25
  Speaker 6: they go to reach their hand to the candy bowl
• 35:27
  Speaker 6: and your dog is freaked out by their costume.
• 35:29
  Speaker 11: Yeah, or you just open the door and there's a
• 35:30
  Speaker 11: scary person outside or a scary mask outside and the
• 35:33
  Speaker 11: dog suddenly goes into defensive mode.
• 35:35
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 35:35
  Speaker 11: And then either freaks out and runs or... Worst case scenario,
• 35:39
  Speaker 11: starts to scare the person or bite the person.
• 35:42
  Speaker 14: Right.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: Obliterates a yellow tello tubby.
• 35:45
  Speaker 10: Oh, yeah.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, God, could you imagine? Now it's orange.
• 35:49
  Speaker 11: So it's really best to keep, the dogs don't enjoy Halloween.
• 35:52
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 35:53
  Speaker 6: Like the 4th of July, they're not fans?
• 35:55
  Speaker 14: Not really.
• 35:56
  Speaker 11: Actually, talking about the fireworks, just briefly before we come
• 35:59
  Speaker 11: back onto this. In England, I put it on our
• 36:01
  Speaker 11: Facebook page recently, they are banning certain levels of fireworks
• 36:06
  Speaker 11: now for the animals.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow. I guess the bang or something.
• 36:10
  Speaker 11: The really big explosions and stuff are going to be
• 36:13
  Speaker 11: limited only to major displays.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
• 36:17
  Speaker 11: And stuff that you can do at home is going
• 36:19
  Speaker 11: to be limited on how scary they can be because
• 36:21
  Speaker 11: of the animals.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 36:23
  Speaker 17: Wow.
• 36:23
  Speaker 11: Anyway, getting back to this.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: This is number three here.
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: Do not force your dog to wear a costume.
• 36:27
  Speaker 11: Come on, dude.
• 36:28
  Speaker 6: Have you not seen the Instagram reels?
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: I'm crossing this one off.
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: You can just move on to the next one because
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: I don't care how they feel about it. Dogs that
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: look like little minors is the funniest thing in the world.
• 36:39
  Speaker 11: I agree. I think it really looks cute. But some
• 36:41
  Speaker 11: dogs don't like it. They don't want to wear it.
• 36:45
  Speaker 11: Some dogs love it. I've got to be honest. Most
• 36:47
  Speaker 11: dogs I come across, they don't mind it. But you're
• 36:50
  Speaker 11: going to get one that doesn't. Or it's going to
• 36:52
  Speaker 11: overheat it because you're putting a bear costume on a
• 36:55
  Speaker 11: chihuahua or something.
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: Did you see the one white lab that liked their
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: costume so much they would go and get it and
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: bring it to their owner? And it was like a fairy.
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: It had wings and the whole nine yards.
• 37:05
  Speaker 11: One of my instructors paints her dog every year.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: She's got a black dog.
• 37:09
  Speaker 11: And she paints white bones on it so it's a skeleton.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, that is cool.
• 37:13
  Speaker 7: Okay, now just because you brought it up, I've always
• 37:16
  Speaker 7: wanted to paint my dog as a fox.
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, nothing wrong with that.
• 37:19
  Speaker 11: Don't Don't use any paint that's going to be sort
• 37:22
  Speaker 11: of toxic.
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: Just like permanent. Yeah, no Rust-Oleum.
• 37:25
  Speaker 11: Don't force them. Don't force them to.
• 37:27
  Speaker 7: Well, they're not going to give me consent about the
• 37:29
  Speaker 7: Fox paint job. It's not like my dog's going to
• 37:31
  Speaker 7: ask me.
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: Like, I want to be orange.
• 37:33
  Speaker 6: Okay, Cornell.
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: We've got a dog that's a Krylon Schnauzer. Number four,
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: don't leave your dog unsecured when opening the door.
• 37:42
  Speaker 6: That's a big one.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what?
• 37:43
  Speaker 11: Just because your dog will normally sit back... And good
• 37:46
  Speaker 11: as gold. And it's the best trained dog in the world,
• 37:49
  Speaker 11: which we hear all the time. Oh, no, it would
• 37:51
  Speaker 11: never do that. Never think it would never do that
• 37:53
  Speaker 11: because it probably will. It's different scenarios. The door is
• 37:58
  Speaker 11: opening more and more. The dog's going to get more
• 38:01
  Speaker 11: and more quizzical about it, more and more interested in
• 38:03
  Speaker 11: what's going on. A lot of noise, a lot of kids.
• 38:07
  Speaker 11: And if the dog gets out, now remember there's a
• 38:10
  Speaker 11: lot of scary stuff out there.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 38:12
  Speaker 11: And if it runs and keeps running because it can't
• 38:15
  Speaker 11: find safety because the whole neighborhood now is scary. So
• 38:19
  Speaker 11: put it away somewhere safe. And that means somewhere that
• 38:21
  Speaker 11: it can't get out of a window or.
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: Screens.
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: If they get excited, they will make a charge like that.
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: My little dog can hear an acorn hit our front walkway.
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: and lose her mind as if somebody's at the door
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: with an AK. It's the same exact thing to her.
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: It's just a noise she doesn't recognize, so she loses
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: her mind. She really likes acorns.
• 38:45
  Speaker 11: Somewhere safe where they could just chill out. It's not
• 38:49
  Speaker 11: a bad idea to have the door ajar, sit outside
• 38:53
  Speaker 11: with the candy. You don't have to have the doorbell
• 38:55
  Speaker 11: ringing every two seconds.
• 38:56
  Speaker 6: Right, that also drives them crazy.
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: That's going to freak the dog out as well.
• 38:59
  Speaker 11: And as much as we can fix that, under normal
• 39:03
  Speaker 11: circumstances when it's when it's ringing 67 times in a.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: Minute yeah there's no way to do that no.
• 39:09
  Speaker 11: The dog's going to get confused um that kind of
• 39:11
  Speaker 11: thing and the last one really is coming back um
• 39:14
  Speaker 11: almost like to the door really but then don't take
• 39:18
  Speaker 11: it around the neighborhood and let it see the scary
• 39:20
  Speaker 11: things coming out the ground and um.
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah don't in other words don't expose it to halloween.
• 39:25
  Speaker 11: Yeah yeah because you know it doesn't understand things and
• 39:29
  Speaker 11: it's different and a lot of people will take the
• 39:30
  Speaker 11: opportunity oh well i can desensitize my dog this is
• 39:34
  Speaker 11: not the time to do.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: It I love his tone. He's like, quit being an idiot, human.
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: Hey, that witch vomiting blood is really going to bring
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: him down to our level.
• 39:43
  Speaker 11: It's not going to make them suddenly desensitized to everything.
• 39:49
  Speaker 11: It's going to freak them out. And you'll probably cause
• 39:51
  Speaker 11: yourself some problems because now something that wasn't scary before.
• 39:55
  Speaker 11: He's scary now.
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he took Butch out for Halloween. For some reason,
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: he does not like surprise chainsaws.
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: Right, exactly. In a while. I thought he would.
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: I thought he'd love somebody sneaking up behind him wearing
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: a ghost mask with a chainsaw. Turns out, he bit
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: the dude's hand off.
• 40:10
  Speaker 6: Well, the last thing you want is a dog who
• 40:11
  Speaker 6: will no longer go to the bathroom outside because they're
• 40:14
  Speaker 6: terrified of what the stuff is in the yard.
• 40:16
  Speaker 11: It's a great time of year, but not for dogs.
• 40:19
  Speaker 11: I go to houses this time of year, and I'm
• 40:21
  Speaker 11: terrified creeping into some of these places.
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 40:23
  Speaker 11: So goodness knows what the dog's going to do. So
• 40:25
  Speaker 11: just let them chill out and enjoy dog stuff.
• 40:30

  Speaker 3: to give you a heads up.
• 42:24
  Speaker 6: Congratulations. Your wife, your bit of wife, Penny, just told
• 42:27
  Speaker 6: me you guys just celebrated 30 years last week.
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah. 30 years. 30 years. Wow.
• 42:33
  Speaker 6: Congratulations.
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: We're going to be celebrating on a cruise ship.
• 42:37
  Speaker 14: Very nice.
• 42:37
  Speaker 11: Actually, not a cruise ship. It's a transatlantic cruise liner.
• 42:41
  Speaker 7: Really?
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she was just telling me about it. I had
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: to buy a suit. The QE2?
• 42:45
  Speaker 11: Yeah, the Queen Mary.
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: The Queen Mary. There you go. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 42:48
  Speaker 11: I had to buy a dinner suit and a tuxedo.
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: And a tuxedo. That's a white suit, right? Dinner suit's
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: a white one?
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: I've got black. Okay, very good. I'm going to look
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: like a pimp otherwise. Yeah, yeah.
• 42:59
  Speaker 7: I crunched the numbers. They say 10,000 of hours makes
• 43:03
  Speaker 7: you a master of something.
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 43:04
  Speaker 7: 30 years is 10,950 days. That's a master of women.
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: You're barely a master of that woman.
• 43:15
  Speaker 11: I'm just waiting for it to bust through that door now.
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: Daryl joins us from Pawfection Dog Training. That's pawfectiondogtraining.com. We'll
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: tell you more about how to get a hold of
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: Daryl to do that. Maybe get your dog into some
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: training classes. into some behavior classes. We always ask if
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: you have a question for Daryl to call in, and
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: we'll pose that question. Daryl will give you as good
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: an answer as he can.
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: Well, I'll try.
• 43:36
  Speaker 11: And if it's anything but a dog, I'm going to guess.
• 43:39
  Speaker 11: But it'd be a good guess. I did actually have
• 43:42
  Speaker 11: someone call me about a parrot once.
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: About a parrot?
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a parrot. There's no calming them down, though.
• 43:48
  Speaker 11: No, and they live forever.
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they do. That's a terrible pet to get. Yeah,
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: goodness me.
• 43:52
  Speaker 6: No, it's not.
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, they live 50 years. 80.
• 43:55
  Speaker 7: It's the one pet, though, you'd be like, well, let
• 43:58
  Speaker 7: me listen to it. You can chat him up.
• 44:02
  Speaker 11: Those African greys are fine.
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: Those are the best.
• 44:04
  Speaker 6: In fact, I know someone with an African grey, and
• 44:07
  Speaker 6: there's been a couple of cases where birds have helped
• 44:09
  Speaker 6: solve murder cases because they kept.
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: Repeating what had happened. Oh, yeah, what the person was saying. Yeah, exactly. Crazy.
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: All right, we got some calls. Let's get to them.
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: First up is Al.
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: Al, how are you?
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: You're on with Daryl Payne from Perfection Dog Training.
• 44:21
  Speaker 12: Hello. All right, Jimmy. Thanks for taking my call, Jimmy.
• 44:27
  Speaker 12: I got two white American Eskimos, and I'll preface by
• 44:30
  Speaker 12: saying they do jump right in their.
• 44:32
  Speaker 17: Kennels when we head out, and they don't.
• 44:34
  Speaker 12: Seem to mind. They get a little treat. My wife
• 44:37
  Speaker 12: works a split shift. They spend about three hours in
• 44:39
  Speaker 12: the morning, and then she puts them in, and they
• 44:42
  Speaker 12: spend about three hours in the kennels in the afternoon,
• 44:44
  Speaker 12: and then I'm home. So I'm just kind of wondering
• 44:46
  Speaker 12: what's a suitable time or how long.
• 44:51
  Speaker 12: Could they stay in the, you know, or should they stay,
• 44:54
  Speaker 12: you know, and kenneled up?
• 44:56
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 44:56
  Speaker 11: My, my limit really normally is around four hours to
• 45:01
  Speaker 11: be honest. Um, so three and three is no problem.
• 45:03
  Speaker 11: As long as they get some reasonable exercise between those
• 45:06
  Speaker 11: three hour, not just quick out empty and back in again,
• 45:09
  Speaker 11: you know, remember different breeds need to have different, you know, needs,
• 45:14
  Speaker 11: you know, if you put a Belgian Malinois in a
• 45:16
  Speaker 11: cage for four hours, it's going.
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: To be different to put in a, you know, a,
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: Shih Tzu.
• 45:20
  Speaker 12: Yeah. Yeah.
• 45:21
  Speaker 11: Well, big fat, um, English bulldog looks like he's dead anyway. Um,
• 45:27
  Speaker 11: so three and three, I think is reasonable as long
• 45:30
  Speaker 11: as they get some reasonable exercise in, in between those two,
• 45:33
  Speaker 11: three hour things. And then. of an evening, they, you know,
• 45:36
  Speaker 11: you spend quality time with them as well. What you
• 45:39
  Speaker 11: want to avoid, you know, they're in a crate all
• 45:41
  Speaker 11: day and then you come home and then they're in
• 45:42
  Speaker 11: a crate all evening and then, you know, they crate
• 45:45
  Speaker 11: it at night.
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, man, I just, the crate thing is not a
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: thing for me. I would never buy a dog, I'd
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: never own a dog, I believe, that had to be
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: crated for any long period of time. It just seems
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: so abusive. I know it's not if it's done properly, but, Man,
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: just watching a dog with that much living space just
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: seems bananas.
• 46:01
  Speaker 11: And that's the thing. Remember, a crate has to be
• 46:04
  Speaker 11: big enough that they can stand up, turn around, lay
• 46:06
  Speaker 11: down without touching the sides or the top. And remember
• 46:09
  Speaker 11: as well, like all things, this is a temporary thing.
• 46:12
  Speaker 11: You'd use a crate for the first maybe 10 months,
• 46:14
  Speaker 11: 12 months of their life. After that, we need to
• 46:17
  Speaker 11: be moving on and giving them more freedom and more trust,
• 46:20
  Speaker 11: which comes with training. So, you know, if you need
• 46:22
  Speaker 11: to get your dog out of the crate and start
• 46:24
  Speaker 11: trusting it, You know, we're available, call us, and we
• 46:27
  Speaker 11: can show you how to do that because you don't
• 46:29
  Speaker 11: want the dog crazy for his whole life.
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: Right, right. All right, let's move on. We have Dina. Dina,
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: how are you doing? Welcome to the show. You're on
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: with Daryl Payne.
• 46:35
  Speaker 17: Hi, good afternoon. I have a seven-month-old mixed terrier, Staffy Pitt,
• 46:42
  Speaker 17: an English terrier. I am struggling with potty training. We
• 46:47
  Speaker 17: do have a crate. It really wasn't hard to train him,
• 46:51
  Speaker 17: to crate train him. I work from home, so he
• 46:53
  Speaker 17: doesn't really stay in the crate just at night, and
• 46:55
  Speaker 17: we leave it open, and that's his space. So he
• 46:58
  Speaker 17: does not go to the bathroom in the crate. He
• 47:01
  Speaker 17: does go outside when we walk him. I have a backyard,
• 47:04
  Speaker 17: kind of. It's like a deck. I'll let him out there. But,
• 47:07
  Speaker 17: I mean, there's times I'll walk him in the morning,
• 47:09
  Speaker 17: and he'll pee, pee, pee, pee, pee. As soon as
• 47:11
  Speaker 17: he gets in the house, he'll poop when nobody's looking.
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: Oh, secret pooper.
• 47:16
  Speaker 17: He's a secret pooper for sure. So I'm trying to
• 47:19
  Speaker 17: get him out of that.
• 47:22
  Speaker 11: How old is he again?
• 47:24
  Speaker 17: He's seven months, about to be eight months actually.
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: He's a baby. Yeah, he is a baby.
• 47:29
  Speaker 11: But also he's becoming a teenager. So there's a couple
• 47:31
  Speaker 11: of things we need to bear in mind here. One
• 47:34
  Speaker 11: is that he just doesn't understand the concept and he
• 47:37
  Speaker 11: would rather poop in your house because it's more comfortable
• 47:39
  Speaker 11: than outside.
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 47:41
  Speaker 11: The other thing is that as he becomes a teenager,
• 47:43
  Speaker 11: this can become more of a dominance thing. So if
• 47:45
  Speaker 11: he's not fixed, that can have an effect. So he
• 47:49
  Speaker 11: may be marking, and it really depends on a lot
• 47:52
  Speaker 11: of other questions that we haven't got time for on
• 47:54
  Speaker 11: the radio.
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: Are you sure the dog likes you?
• 47:59
  Speaker 17: He loves, I mean, he's like, he's great. He's so, yeah.
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: How is he trying to rule out vengeance?
• 48:07
  Speaker 11: Well, actually, yeah. I mean, vengeance pooping is a thing.
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know. That's what I'm trying to figure out.
• 48:12
  Speaker 11: But also it's more likely to be a dominant thing,
• 48:14
  Speaker 11: whereas they're marking their territory.
• 48:16
  Speaker 17: It might be.
• 48:17
  Speaker 11: It can also be habit. So he goes out and
• 48:21
  Speaker 11: that's where he poops. Because remember, wherever they poop, no
• 48:25
  Speaker 11: matter how much you clean it, They can still smell
• 48:28
  Speaker 11: through all the cleaning products, and that's their target area.
• 48:31
  Speaker 17: I got the Nature's Miracle. I got all the stuff,
• 48:34
  Speaker 17: and he just goes in one spot. If I could
• 48:37
  Speaker 17: sneak another question, though, because you had mentioned if he
• 48:39
  Speaker 17: was fixed or not. He is at the age where
• 48:41
  Speaker 17: most people fix. However, a vet told me to wait
• 48:45
  Speaker 17: until they're a year because that's healthier for them.
• 48:48
  Speaker 11: Okay, so just briefly talking about that, then the pro-nutrient
• 48:53
  Speaker 11: and the anti-nutrient lobbies are never going to. They're never
• 48:57
  Speaker 11: going to meet in the middle.
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: They're never going to agree.
• 48:59
  Speaker 11: I go down a behavioral side of things. If the
• 49:01
  Speaker 11: dog starts lifting his leg, humping, if we decide that
• 49:05
  Speaker 11: that pooping is dominance and that sort of thing, this
• 49:07
  Speaker 11: is the time to fix him. If he isn't and
• 49:11
  Speaker 11: they're still squatting when they pee and that kind of thing,
• 49:14
  Speaker 11: and there's no humping, no dominant behavior, leave it until
• 49:17
  Speaker 11: it does start to happen or we he's a year old,
• 49:21
  Speaker 11: but don't put up with it. If they're, if they're
• 49:23
  Speaker 11: lifting their leg or they're showing dominance, humping the kids,
• 49:26
  Speaker 11: stuff like that, get them done now, because you know
• 49:29
  Speaker 11: what these These studies that have been done about neutering,
• 49:32
  Speaker 11: not neutering, none of them really hold water.
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 49:35
  Speaker 11: So you've got to be able to.
• 49:36
  Speaker 5: Thanks, Dina.
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: Appreciate it very much. We appreciate your call. Good luck. Man,
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: I hope your dog doesn't poop in your house anymore.
• 49:40
  Speaker 11: Dina, just very briefly while you're still there, just to
• 49:45
  Speaker 11: help you out, when you come back from a walk,
• 49:47
  Speaker 11: put him straight into his crate just for a little
• 49:49
  Speaker 11: while so you break the habit and block off the
• 49:52
  Speaker 11: area that he's pooping.
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's good.
• 49:53
  Speaker 11: And that will stop that habit.
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, good play for sure. Let's move on. We have
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: Chris here. Chris, how you doing?
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: Welcome to the show. You're on with Daryl Payne.
• 50:00
  Speaker 22: Hey guys, thank you very much for giving me this opportunity.
• 50:02
  Speaker 23: Sure.
• 50:02
  Speaker 22: I've got a six month old, uh, chocolate lab, super
• 50:06
  Speaker 22: smart dog, super great dog. Uh, but just like the
• 50:09
  Speaker 22: last caller, but a little bit different. Um, we take
• 50:12
  Speaker 22: them out. We're having potty training issues. We take them out, um,
• 50:15
  Speaker 22: all the time. My wife works from home, so she's
• 50:17
  Speaker 22: with them all day. Um, however, when we take them out, um,
• 50:20
  Speaker 22: he'll do number one and number two. And, and when
• 50:25
  Speaker 22: he does go to the bathroom, we let him walk
• 50:26
  Speaker 22: around the house. But what we're finding here lately, the
• 50:28
  Speaker 22: past couple of weeks, uh, As soon as we let
• 50:30
  Speaker 22: him back in the house, he will either go number
• 50:33
  Speaker 22: one or number two inside of the house.
• 50:36
  Speaker 19: We find him, we take.
• 50:37
  Speaker 22: Him right back outside, and he'll do business again. And
• 50:40
  Speaker 22: then it's the same constant repetition all the time. But
• 50:44
  Speaker 22: he doesn't do it all the time. I would say
• 50:46
  Speaker 22: maybe once, sometimes twice a day he's doing this.
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 50:50
  Speaker 11: So what I would do, similar to the last caller,
• 50:55
  Speaker 11: when you get home, take him straight out into the backyard,
• 50:58
  Speaker 11: leave him out the backyard. Or if that's not a possibility,
• 51:01
  Speaker 11: then bring him back, put him in his crate for
• 51:02
  Speaker 11: a little bit, then take him out again. When you're
• 51:05
  Speaker 11: out on a walk with him, give him more freedom.
• 51:08
  Speaker 11: If he's on a short leash, give him more freedom.
• 51:11
  Speaker 11: So a longer leash so that he can actually get
• 51:13
  Speaker 11: away from you because a lot of dogs will pee
• 51:15
  Speaker 11: on a shorter leash, but they won't poop on one
• 51:18
  Speaker 11: or they're not as comfortable doing it. So he might
• 51:20
  Speaker 11: be desperate to go for the first one. But then,
• 51:22
  Speaker 11: you know, if you give him more freedom, he's more
• 51:25
  Speaker 11: likely to go the couple of times that he needs
• 51:28
  Speaker 11: to go. Also, look at the food you're giving him.
• 51:30
  Speaker 11: If the food is heavily corn-based or fillers, that kind
• 51:34
  Speaker 11: of thing, if the food's not the best quality and
• 51:37
  Speaker 11: price isn't an indication of quality … then the more
• 51:40
  Speaker 11: garbage you put in one end, the more comes out
• 51:42
  Speaker 11: the other. So good quality food obviously helps as well.
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: Thanks, Chris.
• 51:45
  Speaker 7: Appreciate your call, buddy. I wish you the best with
• 51:47
  Speaker 7: your chocolate lamb, one of the best dogs in the world.
• 51:49
  Speaker 11: I know.
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: They're so cute.
• 51:50
  Speaker 6: Real quick, Daryl, we have someone who texted a question
• 51:53
  Speaker 6: at 77031. My mom is a 12-year-old chihuahua, and she
• 51:58
  Speaker 6: wants a new puppy. Is there a certain age? when
• 52:01
  Speaker 6: an older dog is just too old to introduce a
• 52:04
  Speaker 6: new puppy to?
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: That is such a great question.
• 52:07
  Speaker 6: And the age and the size of the dog being
• 52:09
  Speaker 6: that it's 12 and it's a Chihuahua.
• 52:11
  Speaker 11: Yeah, it really depends on the dog. If your dog
• 52:13
  Speaker 11: is very friendly with other dogs and stuff, it wouldn't
• 52:16
  Speaker 11: really be a problem. Bear in mind that puppies are annoying.
• 52:19
  Speaker 11: They're like children. They just irritate. And so they are
• 52:23
  Speaker 11: going to irritate an older dog no matter what. If
• 52:28
  Speaker 11: your dog is aggressive towards other dogs or it's intolerant,
• 52:32
  Speaker 11: then I would hold off on getting the puppy at
• 52:34
  Speaker 11: the moment. But generally, puppies are going to annoy older dogs.
• 52:39
  Speaker 11: Anything after about, to be honest, about nine.
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: Right, right, right.
• 52:43
  Speaker 3: It's like being 48 with a surprise pregnancy.
• 52:45
  Speaker 11: It's like taking... It's like taking a toddler into an
• 52:49
  Speaker 11: old folks home. It's cute for about three minutes, and
• 52:52
  Speaker 11: then it gets really old.
• 52:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're cruising along. You can see retirement right around
• 52:56
  Speaker 3: the corner next to you. You've got a toddler.
• 52:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: That's what you want to do to that thing.
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: Lots of questionable behavior so that maybe something will happen.
• 53:04
  Speaker 11: Now, there's going to be people out there that are going, oh,
• 53:06
  Speaker 11: my goodness, I've just done that. I've brought a puppy,
• 53:09
  Speaker 11: and I've got an older dog. That's fine, but what
• 53:11
  Speaker 11: I would do is make sure that the older dog
• 53:14
  Speaker 11: gets some time out from the puppy. So don't be
• 53:15
  Speaker 11: afraid to put the puppy away in the puppy pen.
• 53:18
  Speaker 11: just so that it gives the older dog some time
• 53:20
  Speaker 11: out and spend quality time with the older dog as
• 53:23
  Speaker 11: well because the puppy sucks up all the attention.
• 53:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's some videos out there where it's families introducing
• 53:28
  Speaker 3: puppies to dogs that are already established in the home
• 53:31
  Speaker 3: and the dog will inevitably walk up, smell the puppy
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: one time and just walk away.
• 53:34
  Speaker 11: We're in hallmark season. All the things are coming out
• 53:38
  Speaker 11: and everyone's going to get a puppy and the older
• 53:39
  Speaker 11: dogs will be like, really? You brought that in here.
• 53:42
  Speaker 3: One last call here. Jeff, how are you doing? You're
• 53:44
  Speaker 3: on with Daryl Payne from Pawfection Dog Training.
• 53:48
  Speaker 19: I'm doing great, guys.
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: How you doing? Good, brother. What's your question?
• 53:52
  Speaker 19: My question is, we recently lost our Rottweiler a few
• 53:56
  Speaker 19: months ago, and we just decided to get another dog.
• 54:00
  Speaker 19: And my wife, I got home from work, and she
• 54:02
  Speaker 19: surprised me with a three-month-old Great Dane puppy.
• 54:06
  Speaker 17: Oh, my God.
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: I was just wondering.
• 54:08
  Speaker 19: what I can do to stunt this dog's growth.
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: Bind it like a Japanese woman.
• 54:19
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 54:19
  Speaker 11: Well, there is nothing you can do.
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: What you can.
• 54:23
  Speaker 11: Do rather than stunt the growth. What you can do
• 54:25
  Speaker 11: is bring it to us on a, on a Saturday
• 54:27
  Speaker 11: to the puppy classes. Let's get it socialized. The one
• 54:30
  Speaker 11: thing I will say about great pains and the thing
• 54:32
  Speaker 11: that I always deal with when I go to someone's
• 54:36
  Speaker 11: house for a great day and, It's normally aggression.
• 54:38
  Speaker 10: Yes.
• 54:39
  Speaker 11: They can be very aggressive and antisocial. So the importance
• 54:43
  Speaker 11: of socializing it early on, not just with the environment,
• 54:47
  Speaker 11: but with people and other dogs and stuff like that.
• 54:50
  Speaker 11: If you call us, we'll do the puppy in-home session,
• 54:54
  Speaker 11: which is like the instruction book that didn't come with
• 54:56
  Speaker 11: the dog that should have done for you. We make
• 54:58
  Speaker 11: sure you do everything right. You've got a blank canvas there.
• 55:01
  Speaker 11: Let us help you draw the picture and then color
• 55:03
  Speaker 11: it in. So by the time the dog gets to
• 55:06
  Speaker 11: 10 months old, And it's 900 pounds and taller than
• 55:09
  Speaker 11: a house.
• 55:09
  Speaker 9: Right, right, right.
• 55:10
  Speaker 11: It won't matter because it won't be playing out.
• 55:11

• 56:55

  Speaker 3: a show he's about to appear on as a respected
• 57:18
  Speaker 3: journalist here in The wonderful city of Orlando. Don't shake
• 57:22
  Speaker 3: your head. I saved the best talkbacks for when Scott
• 57:25
  Speaker 3: is here.
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 57:26
  Speaker 3: We want him to be as embarrassed as possible.
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: Welcome back. I'm Jim. There's Deb.
• 57:30
  Speaker 10: Hello.
• 57:30
  Speaker 5: Jack.
• 57:31
  Speaker 3: And Ross.
• 57:32
  Speaker 7: Amendment free.
• 57:34
  Speaker 3: And, of course, every Wednesday around this time, he writes
• 57:36
  Speaker 3: for the Orlando Sentinel. Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays, you can
• 57:38
  Speaker 3: read his column.
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: Here he is.
• 57:42
  Speaker 10: They call him Sweet Heat, from his head to his feet,
• 57:46
  Speaker 10: sizzling hot like an asphalt street, dripping to the swag
• 57:50
  Speaker 10: of an Orlando Sentinel beep, beep, beep.
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, columnist.
• 57:56
  Speaker 11: Scott, take it to the Maxwell!
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: Let's give it up for Scott Maxwell, guys. What do
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: you say?
• 58:06
  Speaker 3: Hard to beat that reverb-laden intro, but we'll give it
• 58:09
  Speaker 3: a shot.
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: How are you, friend? No, it's all downhill after that.
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: And I was just shaking my head at the respected thing.
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, dude, I wrote an entire column on dog poop.
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: Probably one of the more popular columns I ever wrote.
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 58:20
  Speaker 3: That's the whole idea of can you throw it into
• 58:22
  Speaker 3: somebody else's trash can when you're walking your dog?
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes. So, no, no, no. I know what sells.
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: Hold on for a second.
• 58:30
  Speaker 3: Jack's doing some UCF stuff. All right, there we go.
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, go UCF. Go Knights. Yeah, yeah.
• 58:37
  Speaker 3: Saw your column today. Very interesting column today.
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: Well, you know what? I don't always, usually I just
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: write what I want to write when I want to
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: write it. But sometimes I do pick a column topic
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: to drop on a Wednesday on a show day because
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: I have to give you credit for you were at
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: the forefront of saying at the beginning of all these
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk terminations, you were just like, Ain't going to work.
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: None of them are going to fly.
• 59:04
  Speaker 3: I think what I said specifically was this is the
• 59:07
  Speaker 3: stupidest thing ever. Every one of these people is– going
• 59:10
  Speaker 3: to get paid. They're going to get paid so insanely,
• 59:13
  Speaker 3: and it's going to come out of your dollar and
• 59:15
  Speaker 3: your tax dollar and your tax dollar and your tax dollar.
• 59:17
  Speaker 3: And I was 1,000% right, and it's not done yet.
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: No, it's not done yet. And the reason you know
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: that is because of the business you're in. Yes. And
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: the reason I know that is because of the business
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: I'm in. And for people who don't know how the
• 59:32
  Speaker 2: First Amendment works, you can say anything, any number of
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: things that your employer says. could decide to fire you
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: for because your employer is a private person, company, and
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: they can fire you for any reason. More importantly, in
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: this state, they can fire you for absolutely no reason.
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: That's the way it works in a right-to-work state. What
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: cannot happen is the government cannot censor you and tell
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: you what you're allowed to say. And that's what happened
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: on the heels of the Charlie Kirk assassination when every
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: schlub in the world was rushing to their social media
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 2: to express... Their opinion, you know, whether it was good
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: or bad. And what the state of Florida cited was
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: that the people who said they loved Charlie Kirk, that
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: was OK. The people who said they did not like
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk was out. Not OK. And they fired quite
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 2: a few of them at state universities, at state colleges,
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: three of them at the Fish and Wildlife Commission, which
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: was a little odd. Like, I don't know what kind
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: of Gestapo they had going on there.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 3: And Scott, I thought the most egregious part of it
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 3: was a number of these comments really weren't over the line.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 3: They really they were just observations they'd had based on
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 3: stuff that Charlie Kirk had said earlier. during his you
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 3: know tenure as whatever he was as a podcaster it's
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 3: a lot of it wasn't even like laughing or mocking
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 3: it was just stating things you know just disagreeing with
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 3: what he said over that time and and i was
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 3: like and i'm like man you can't do that you
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 3: can't fire these people for this it's going to come
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 3: back to haunt you and you know of course it
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 3: seems like every other day now there's another record of
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 3: a payout yeah and and and you know just to
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 3: give your listeners uh some examples of what folks posted,
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 3: because I do think they ran the gamut.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: And there were, there were quite a few that I found.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, I found inappropriate. I would never say not,
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: not in the wake of an assassination. And I mean,
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: it's just, but I, I kind of take a value
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: to human life that I think some, you know what,
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: there are a lot of people when they see someone
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: die in a stupid way, you know, like whether they're
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: committing a crime or something, they, they quick to say,
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: karma's a bitch. Well, That's I'm not a fan of that,
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: because when someone's dead, that person had a mother or
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: they had a father or sister. It's just not what
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: I do. But there are a lot of people who
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: do that. And you are right that a lot of
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: people on the in the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: posted things that were pretty tame. They were basically saying,
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: while everybody else is lionizing him, one of the people
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: who was fired by the state of Florida called him
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: called him, quote, anti-immigrant, anti-abortion and anti-women's rights. I think
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 2: you could probably make an argument that those are accurate.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: But even if you couldn't, it was that woman's opinion.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 2: Another person said, I am not in support of what
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: happened to Charlie Kirk, but Charlie Kirk was in support
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: of what happened to Charlie Kirk. And that was a
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 2: play on his very famous line that some gun deaths
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 2: are worth it. I believe he was confronted in one
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 2: of his college interviews. campuses and they said, what would
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 2: you say to, you know, somebody who was murdered in
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: a gun thing? He said, well, it's very sad, but
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: it's worth it for us to have gun rights.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 7: I actually, I have the direct quote right here. I
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 7: think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 7: gun deaths every single year so that we can have
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 7: the second amendment to protect our other God given rights.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 7: That is a prudent deal.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go. And so, and people were saying, well,
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: I guess Charlie was a price to be paid in
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: the prudent deal that he considered. Once again, I'm probably
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: not going to rush out and say any of this
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: stuff myself. And there were some that were, I think,
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: push the envelope more. One of the comments was delighting
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: in the death of someone who'd wish death upon us
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 2: isn't sick. It's self-defense. I'm not comfortable with the delighting part.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: And I find that pretty inhumane and unseemly. But here's
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: the thing about the First Amendment. It doesn't matter what
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: I think. And this is one thing that I wish
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: a lot of people would really get their heads around.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: The First Amendment was created by the Founding Fathers not
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 2: to protect speech that is popular. Nobody has a problem
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 2: with anybody saying, I love puppies and I love babies.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 2: First Amendment was specifically created to protect unpopular speech when
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 2: people want to criticize their leaders, when they want to
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: say something that's on the wrong side, on the other
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: side of popular opinion. That's what it's that's what it
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: exists for. And specifically what the courts say you cannot
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: do is what's known as viewpoint based discrimination. And what
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: that means is if someone goes online and says, I
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: love Charlie Kirk. The state says that's OK. If you
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: go online and say, I hate Charlie Kirk, the state
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: says that's not OK. That's viewpoint based discrimination. And in
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: all of these laws, I shouldn't say all these lawsuits,
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: but many of the ones we've been following, these people
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: sued and judges have even either ruled in their favor.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: or they've been forced to do settlements to the tunes
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: of a lot of money. Yeah.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 3: And then not to mention the thing that, you know,
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 3: you see the payout and you think to yourself, Oh wow.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 10: 495,000.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: Oh wow.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 10: 250,000.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 3: Oh wow.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 5: 385,000.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 3: And they'll keep coming. The part I thought was most
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 3: poignant is one of the things that you put in
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 3: your column today is that's at the tune of $ 900
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 3: an hour for the attorneys that have to defend the
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 3: state against an indefensible comment or an indefensible case. That's
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 3: thousands and thousands and thousands of man hours being billed
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 3: to you and your tax dollar every single time one
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 3: of these people sues because the state took an initiative
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 3: to shut their freedoms down, and then they had to
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 3: sue to get them back and prove they're wrong. Those
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 3: don't come at just the settlement money. That other money
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 3: goes in there. It's hours of lawyers at anywhere from
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 3: $ 500 to $ 800.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 4: $ 900 an hour.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 2: It's ridiculous. Yeah, and I will tell you that I
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: think that's probably the most egregious thing in my mind.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: I've seen a lot of big ticketed bills by government.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: I have never seen anything close to $ 925 an hour.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: To put that in perspective, that is more than the
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: average Florida job pays in a week. And this was
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 2: a contract that was given to a law firm that's
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: an ally of the administration that ran to the administration's
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: defense in the Hope Florida scandal. It was a no-bid deal.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: Once again, something no fiscal conservative, no serious fiscal conservative
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: could ever argue is a good deal. Not even a
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: firm that specializes in First Amendment issues. Now, the reason
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 2: I would argue they probably didn't think they needed a
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 2: firm that specializes in First Amendment issues is because they
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: knew they were going to lose. It didn't matter who
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: they hired.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 7: Break down no bid deal for me because I was
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 7: a little confused. You said you should not know this.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 7: And I'm like, I definitely don't know this.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, absolutely. So typically, when government is going to
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 2: do something, whether it's buy napkins at the convention centers
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 2: or hire a law firm, what they do is they
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 2: put it out for bid. And what they say is
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 2: anybody who would like to provide this service to Orange
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: County government, or in this case, Florida Atlantic University, can
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 2: submit a bid. And then every law firm that wanted
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: to bid would say, hey, here's our experience in First
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: Amendment cases, and here's how much we're going to charge you.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 2: let's say six firms apply, you're able to look and
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 2: get the firm that has a, the best experience, but
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: most importantly, B offers you the good price for that
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 2: good experience. When a company, when a government does a
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: no bid deal, your Friday taxpayers, absolutely no guarantee that
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 2: they're getting a good price to the contrary. You're almost
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: assuredly they're not getting a good price and no bid
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: deals have been an absolute hallmark of this administration. It's
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: something we've talked about with alligator Alcatraz. I mean, dude,
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: The Trump administration shut alligator Alcatraz down. That's the thing
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: that I think blows, I mean, should blow your mind.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 2: We have detention centers all over the country. They're still running.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: Even the Trump administration was, what the hell are you
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 2: doing giving a $ 90 million contract to a port-a-potty? Right, yeah, yeah.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 2: that hired the Ballard law firm to be his lobbyist
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 2: to get these deals. So it was a no-bid deal.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 2: And then the other thing is that this legal work
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: has been shoddy. And one judge absolutely called out this
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 2: very law firm, not only called them out.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 3: But sanctioned them. Ordered some sanctions on them.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: Said they were committing vexatious litigation, which means basically that's
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: sort of the same thing you've heard about in the
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: Carrot Top case. When somebody's filing lawsuits just to be
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: a menace, when they know there's no basis, And that
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 2: was a suit against Carrot Top was what I'm talking
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: about there. But in this case, since they had no
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: legal leg to stand on, what the state argued in
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 2: several cases was that these employees posted things and then
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 2: all hell broke loose.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 17: Right.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 3: It caused chaos in the workplace. They got hundreds and
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 3: thousands of emails saying how detrimental it was to their
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 3: culture and all this other stuff.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: And the woman who got the biggest– settlement so far.
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: The one you mentioned, I think it was about $ 500, 000, $ 600, 000.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: A biologist at Federal Wildlife Commission. What actually happened was
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 2: a single Instagram account, libs of TikTok, tagged the state
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 2: and basically said, shouldn't you fire this person? But the
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: state went into court and said, her post caused total chaos.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 2: Nobody could do work. We got hundreds of email. So
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: the judge said, great, let's see the hundreds of emails.
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, this should not be a difficult ask. That's
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 2: a public record. It's a very simple search. The state
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 2: ultimately admitted there were not hundreds of emails. They had
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 2: lied about that in court. Yeah. So the judge said
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 2: you lied to make this case. Your lawyers, I think
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 2: his quote was defended the indefensible and then slapped sanctions
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 2: on this $ 925 an hour law firm for vexatious litigation.
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 2: So they're continuing to lose. These lawsuits are piling up.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: FAU is the one that we got the contract for
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: $ 925 an hour. Monday at 7 a.m. when I was
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: writing about this, I sent FAU a letter and I said,
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: I want a total of how much you've spent. My guess,
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: as you mentioned, Jim, is that the legal bills are
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: going to even exceed these payouts. You don't, at $ 925
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 2: an hour, they're spending 1,000 hours. That's a million bucks
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: right there. And these are multiple agencies that have hired
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: this firm. They've not yet provided it. And there's no
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 2: reason not to provide easily. It's just billing information. Now,
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: if we have to, once again, we'll sue. We'll sue
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: for clearly public information if we have to. Then the
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 2: state will pay our legal fees, as the state has
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: done many times. I was about to say. When the
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: court has said, you get public information you shouldn't have.
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you have to add the word again there because
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 3: they paid it again and again and again. Because every
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 3: single time they go, well, we're not doing that. You're like, okay, well,
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 3: we'll do it this way then. You sue them. Then
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 3: not only do they wind up giving you what they want,
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 3: they have to pay your legal fees. Again, coming out
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 3: of your tax dollars. Everybody listening, out of your tax dollars.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 2: We had the same thing with the Pulse crosswalk. When
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 2: they came in in the middle of the night and
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 2: paved it over, we just said we want the records
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 2: about this crosswalk. They didn't provide it. We know it's
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 2: a public record, including the Facebook post that the DOT
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 2: had scrubbed. They at one point in time put up
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 2: posts that said, look at our colorful new sidewalks. They're safe.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: That undermined the argument that this was about safety. So
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 2: we just wanted a copy of the original Facebook post.
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 2: You can't delete it. You can't make it go away.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 2: It's a crime to destroy that evidence. It took us,
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: I think, nine months to get that information. It took
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 2: us to threaten to sue. And they ended up paying
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: our legal bills to give us the information they should
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 2: have given us in about 48 hours.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 3: Simply unbelievable. By the way, you can research that. You
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 3: can go to the OrlandoSentinel.com and archive these stories and
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 3: read them if you'd like to buck up on all
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 3: the information. They've written about it for well over a
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 3: year now. So you can check that out. I do
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 3: want to do a couple seconds on what you wrote
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 3: about with Blazing Golia today because I thought that was interesting.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 2: We only have about two minutes or so. I'll give
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: you that one and I'll give you a happy one.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 2: The column I just posted. The Blazing Oglia won the award,
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 2: in my estimation, for the most boneheaded campaign ad I've
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 2: seen in Florida. And that's saying something. That's like the
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 2: stinkiest turd in the septic system. They've got an ad
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: that bashes his opponent for voting for a bill that,
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: wait for it, Blazing Gohan voted for himself. I mean,
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 2: it's not even complicated.
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 3: The funny thing is, is in your column, you literally
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 3: put the voting thing and you circle it in red
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 3: as if it's a husband sending an Instagram to his
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 3: wife and go, pay attention to this part.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 2: This is a really funny part.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 3: This guy is bitching about somebody voting for something that
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 3: he also voted for.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 2: Yes, that he voted for. It was a bill that
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: was drafted by Republicans. It was voted by Ngoble. It
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: was signed into law by Governor Ron DeSantis. They're right
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 2: that it was a tax increase. They basically five years ago.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: Now you pay taxes on your online purchases like Amazon.
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 2: You didn't used to do that. It's not even the
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 2: worst tax.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Because because online retailers were like, what the hell?
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 2: You know, Amazon's able to sell without you're putting us
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 2: at a disadvantage. But they're the ones who did it.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 2: And then go. So they ran an ad bashing her
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 2: for a vote that he did. So and that's most boneheaded. Yeah.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 2: But before we go, I wanted to give one plus thing,
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 2: a bipartisan plus. I gave at the end of that
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 2: same column that I just posted for tomorrow's paper, a
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 2: big shout out to the Republican and Democratic candidates for
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 2: Orange County mayor. And that's Republican Chris Messina and Tiffany
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: Moore Russell. And it is for a very simple reason.
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 2: Those two have debated each other or appeared at forums
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 2: about 12 different times. And that is something that used
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: to be standard in politics. But now this business is
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 2: so full of yellow-bellied strategic cowards that, I mean, we
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 2: haven't had a debate in either the governor's race or
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 2: the U.S. Senate's race.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 17: I think.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 2: You'd be hard pressed. I couldn't come up on one
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 2: hand and count legislative races that have debates anymore. These
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 2: people are scared to face the voters. They're scared to
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: answer questions and they still want your votes. I don't
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: respect that. These two candidates in the Orange County mayor's
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 2: race have done it about 11 times, according to more
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 2: Russell's count. And I think you could make the argument
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 2: that Tiffany Moore Russell, who's the Democrat in a very
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 2: blue county, had the advantage, probably didn't need to do
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 2: a debate. But she said that's not what politics is
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 2: supposed to be about, and it's disrespectful to the voters.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 2: So I give both of those candidates a lot of props.
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 5: 100%.
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 3: It should be mandatory. It should be mandatory if you
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 3: run for office that you have a number of debates
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 3: and you cannot back out. Family death or your death
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 3: would be the only thing that you should have to debate, 100%.
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 3: You've got to show people what they're– because here's the thing.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 3: The debate stage obviously can change a lot of things.
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 3: We've seen that happen in real time with the presidency.
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 3: So we know for a fact that that kind of
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 3: tests your mettle in front of being asked tough questions
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 3: in front of people can really kind of tell it's
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 3: a litmus test of what kind of human being you are. Also,
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 3: when you can handle and when you can't handle pressure
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 3: and not seeing that as a voter really is a
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 3: disservice to you as a voter.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 2: I absolutely agree. Watching them think on their feet, these
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 2: are people who have to make major decisions on their feet.
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 2: And frankly, they're often caught lying, and I think you
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 2: deserve to see that too.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 3: A really good example of that, by the way, is
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 3: the Ossoff-Collins stuff that's happening in Georgia. When you watch
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 3: those two debate, and they both have, you can see
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 3: clearly there's a leader there, and then clearly there's somebody
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 3: who was a populist who really doesn't really have any
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 3: idea what they're doing. and probably should not be in
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 3: politics at that level. And I think you can see
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 3: that around the country if you look for it. But,
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 3: you know, again, if they're not debating, it's hard to find.
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. There's no, I give no excuse. As you said,
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 2: I'm not even sure I'd give death a pass. Have
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 2: yourself a great weekend. Good friend. All right. Well, we'll
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: talk after the election. Yeah, we will for sure.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 3: All right. 407-916-1041. Text 77031. Dollar is your 4 o'clock keyword.

  Speaker 2: D-O-L-L-A-R.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 3: Go to realradio.fm and send that away for your chance
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 3: at $ 1, 000.
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 2: Back in a sec.
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 14: Man, that was such a good segment with Scott. And
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 14: coming from a 33-year-old male that Doesn't really know which
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 14: way or who to vote for these days, and it's
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 14: been that way for, I can speak for my generation,
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 14: most of our lives, you have to kind of vote
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 14: for the lesser of two evils. We don't get to
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 14: see the debates in the legislative area, and so it's,
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 14: a lot of my friends my age don't even vote
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 14: for that reason, so.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 2: Crazy. Yeah, man, they got a debate.
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 3: I mean, you've got to get on that stage, and
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 3: I agree with Scott. People react differently under pressure. They
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 3: react differently when they're faced with something that maybe they've
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 3: said that comes across a little squirrely. They have a
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 3: hard time explaining themselves. You need people that handle pressure well,
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 3: that can answer questions with concise answers that they've thought about.
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 3: They've considered these issues. And when you're just voting somebody
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 3: because they have a D or an R beside their name,
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 3: you're really doing a disservice to yourself. You're not learning
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 3: enough about that candidate to make sure they really do
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 3: represent what you feel your money should be spent on.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 3: And that's what politicians are. I think it's even worse
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 3: than just voting off of an R and a D.
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 3: If they're not debating, you're voting off of commercials. Yeah,
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 3: and with super PACs, they're saying whatever they want. And
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 3: then you elect them, and you're like, well, that's what
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 3: the ad said. I didn't hear anybody say that live.
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 3: I didn't hear another candidate look at them and say, well,
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 3: what about this? Don't you support this? You supported it
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 3: two years ago. And it could be a topic that's
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 3: changed completely. Man, the shelf life of political opinions is
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 3: so small now. It can change on a whim.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 2: 407-916-1041.
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 3: Welcome back.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 2: I'm Jim. Deb is here. Hello.
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 9: Jack.
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 12: Yep.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: And Ross. It's true.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 3: I'm going to do the keyword for you at the
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 3: top of the hour. I'm going to blow your brains away.
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: You ready?
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: Oh, boy.
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 3: That's bad phrasing. I have a friend that I play
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 3: golf with all the time. He's my buddy Tim, right?
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 3: And Tim and I play almost every weekend.
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 7: I remember golf.
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. Tim is great.
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 3: We're about the same. I think he's probably a little
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 3: bit better than me. We're about the same, though, on
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 3: any given day. I think we can beat each other
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 3: and stuff. We've known each other for a long time.
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 3: And I've learned that he has an ear bug. You
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 3: guys know what an ear bug is? He's got a
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 3: bug in his ear? No, no, no, not a bug
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 3: in his ear.
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 2: No, no, no.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 3: What it means is he's highly susceptible to things when
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 3: he hears them. So what happens is when we're playing
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 3: golf on the first or second hole, as I'm lining
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 3: up a putt and I know he's within earshot, I'll go,
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 3: I know a.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 2: Buggy singer playing in a rock and roll band. And
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: I'll just stop.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 17: Yeah.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 7: And then that funky music, white boys. And that's in
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 7: his head for the rest of the day. He can't
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 7: get it out.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 3: And I do it to him. He doesn't even know
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 3: I'm doing it to him. I'm actively doing it to him.
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 3: I'm about to do that to everybody in Orlando.
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, man. All right.
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 7: One of these ruined my life for like two years,
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 7: by the way.
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 2: Which one was it?
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 7: It's really bad. And if I say it into this mic,
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 7: it might change some other people's golf swings.
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 7: Well, this is not a golf-related thing. This is an
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 7: everyday-related thing. Golf is niche enough. I'll share it. I'm
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 7: on the tee box. Hold, two, three. I'm in a tournament,
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 7: and my friend's dad looks at me and goes, Yo, man,
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 7: do you inhale or exhale on your backswing?
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 5: Oh!
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 2: Oh, no.
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 3: That's game. That's gaming.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 7: I was shocked.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 2: You just got gamed.
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 7: Every swing, I was just thinking about my breath.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 2: Oh, so crazy.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 3: This is not that, but it is 100% true. It
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 3: happened today. I read it today, and it said, are
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 3: you ready to have your day completely ruined? And I'm like, oh, yeah, sure.
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 3: I need some help with that.
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 2: No question.
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 3: Your life is surrounded by rectangles. Now, now roll through
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 3: your life and try not to look at everything you see.
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 2: And it's a rectangle.
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 3: It's a rectangle. Rectangle here in front of me. Rectangle
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 3: TV screens. Rectangle window. I'm looking through a jacket. Everything
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 3: is a rectangle. We are surrounded and dominated by rectangles.
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 3: You're never going to be able to not think about
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 3: that now.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 2: Rectangle.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 3: Your phone is a rectangle. Your windows in your cars
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 3: are rectangles. Your TV screens, the things you stare at
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 3: the most are rectangles. I'm not mad at you. Doorways, windows, rectangles.
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 2: I have 50.
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 3: I'm not even turning my head, and I just counted
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 3: about 50 in my.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 2: Field of vision.
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 17: Exactly.
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 3: Rectangles everywhere. And I don't know why that hit me
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 3: weird this morning.
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 2: I'm sitting there. I'm reading this. I'm like, da-da-da-da. Normal day.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 2: Everything's fine. Rectangles.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 3: And then I started looking around, and then on the
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 3: way to work today, I'm like, that building's a rectangle.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 3: That's a rectangle. That doorway's a rectangle. Everything's a rectangle.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, man. It's all rectangles.
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 7: It's like you got to see the zeros and ones
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 7: and green font.
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 2: Right, exactly. You went behind the matrix. Yeah, you're seeing that.
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 2: And it was a rectangle.
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the engineer was thinking. All right, 407-916-1041, text 77031.
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 3: We're going to take a little break.
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 2: We'll come back.
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 3: Have you guys read anything about this emergency declaration that's
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 3: going on globally right now? Deborah is smiling because we
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 3: talked about this during the break.
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 2: Daryl Payne just brought it up to me. Oh, he did.
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 3: Out of nowhere, he said, man, have you seen this
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 3: thing happening everywhere? People are saying you should be doing this.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 6: Well, Operation Fortress.
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'll tell you exactly what that is next.
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 9: Hi, Jim Colbert crew.
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 5: Hey.
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 13: I just want to say I love you guys.
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 6: I love you, Deb, most of all.
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 2: Okay, easy. And I want to say that when you
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 2: were talking about the earworms, is what I call it. Okay,
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 2: it's what it is. I got it wrong. I literally
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 2: earlier today was in my kitchen doing like random things
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 2: and I was singing the Pepto Bismarck. Oh. Diarrhea.
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 8: Oh.
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 10: Oh, yeah.
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 16: Diarrhea.
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 7: You got a better voice than me.
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 2: Diarrhea. There you go.
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 3: Five o'clock keyword is diarrhea. No, it's deposit, D-E-P-O-S-I-T, and
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 3: I couldn't spell diarrhea if I tried.
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 2: Good luck.
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 3: That's a weird one, dude.
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 17: It is.
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 3: That is a weird one.
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 7: It's got a couple of H's.
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 11: It's got an H.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 7: Not as bad as rhythm.
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Rhythm and stuff.
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 25: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 3: Deposit is the word, guys. D-E-P-O-S-I-T. Go to Real Radio
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 3: and send that away. Realradio.fm, I should say, and send
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 3: that away for your chance. At $ 1, 000, you can do
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 3: that via the app as well. When you do, make
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 3: this your number one preset. Yes, Ross, what were you
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 3: going to say?
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 7: No, no. I also agree. I can't spell diarrhea.
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 2: Isn't it D-I-A-H-A-R-E-A? That's a joke.
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 3: There's two R's in it. Yeah, there's two R's. It's
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 3: R-R-E-A is the end, right?
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 6: It's D-I-A-R-R-H-E-A.
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a tough one. That's a tough one.
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 6: Kind of like the sound you make.
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 14: Right, yeah.
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 3: It's as gnarly a word as it is in an event.
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 17: Hmm.
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 3: Uh, so what I was talking about before the breaks
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 3: is like, uh, have you guys seen what nations around
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 3: the world are telling people to do? This, uh, story
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 3: from newsweek is, uh, saying France is doing this, but
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 3: when we were during the break, um, even Daryl had
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 3: mentioned that England and a number of countries in Europe,
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 3: I think actually most of Europe's doing it. I know
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 3: that Canada and the U S are doing it. Um,
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 3: Brazil is doing it. Argentina and Chile are doing it.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 7: Are we not?
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 3: South Africa is doing it. Australia is doing it.
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 2: And we are.
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 3: Us and Canada as well are telling our constituents or
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 3: the citizens to do this. Jack, have you seen it
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 3: by any chance?
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 6: I was going to say, actually, they're not, or more
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 6: of us would know about it.
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 2: Right, yeah, yeah, yeah. Operation Fortress. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 3: Do you know what that is?
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 2: I do not. It is.
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 6: Federal operations for resilience, troop resources, energy supply, and survivability.
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 3: So basically what they want you to do is, now
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 3: some reports are saying 90 days. The only reports I've
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 3: seen are 30 days. Governments around the world are telling
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 3: people that live in their nations to get 30 to
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 3: 90 days of supplies ready to go.
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 6: Well, 90 is specifically for those from the Pentagon to U.S.
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 2: Bases. Oh, to the bases, right.
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 6: So to the civilians, I haven't heard anything about 90 days, but.
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 3: It says here, around the world, governments are increasingly advising
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 3: their citizens to have provisions in the case of an emergency,
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 3: such as war, extreme weather, or cybersecurity threats. Different countries
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 3: advise different levels of preparedness. Having emergency supplies for a
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 3: three-day period is commonly advised. France and the UK have
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 3: advised people to have supplies for a 72-hour period. I've
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 3: seen up to 30 days as well. It says have
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 3: your food, water, and supplies.
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 2: Wow. How about that, huh?
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 3: Do you guys have any supply? In Florida, this is
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 3: kind of a weird thing because a lot of people
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 3: already have a hurricane closet, right? A part of their house,
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 3: a big box or something like that that they put
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 3: in a storage bin or whatever that they put in
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 3: canned goods, batteries, things like that. What they're saying is
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 3: make sure you have a couple extra tanks of propane
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 3: Plenty of water, plenty of canned goods. And one thing
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 3: that we all should have that we don't. And I
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 3: know this station gave them away for a while.
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 2: Radios.
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 3: Wind-up radios. They're saying you should have a wind-up radio
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 3: at all times. By the way, not a bad thing
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 3: to have in your house as a Floridian to begin with.
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 3: We did give those out for a while here at
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 3: Real Radio. Was it one hurricane season we did that, Jack? Yeah,
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 3: there were many ones. But I went online, and a
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 3: really Mac Daddy one that can actually even charge your
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 3: phone is only $ 40. So, I mean, just a basic
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 3: wind-up radio, you can get one for, like, under $ 20. Yeah,
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 3: I bought a– I have a transistor radio at home
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 3: just in case it's battery-powered.
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 7: Right, right, right. I've just come to peace with, like,
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 7: if society falls, so do I.
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 2: Oh, really?
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 3: You're not going to prepare at all, huh? I just–
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 3: I don't know, man.
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 7: I don't think I have that much– Not feeling it, huh?
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 7: I don't know if I can do it.
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 2: You don't have any fight? Is that what you just said?
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know if I can fight the downfall
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 7: of society and everything around me just goes walking dead.
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 3: To me, the thing is, for me, they can say
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 3: whatever they want. To me, this is an AI thing.
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 3: This is the fact that the governments globally do not
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 3: have any idea what AI is capable of or not
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 3: capable of. They don't have any idea how to contain it.
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 3: They don't have any idea what it can do if
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 3: it gets out. We've seen this. It's hacked other companies
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 3: multiple times, by the way. The one laughing face one
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 3: is just the one you know about. I've read about
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 3: two other major hacking incidents. from Anthropic, or I shouldn't
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 3: say that because I don't know for sure, but one
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 3: of these big AI companies, their agent got out and
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 3: started doing immediately bad stuff. It wasn't like AI got
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 3: out and figured out how to cure the homeless issue.
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 3: Isn't that weird? Every time it escapes, it does nefarious stuff.
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 3: It doesn't do anything positive for humanity. And then misleads
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 3: you about it.
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 3: Then misleads you about it. Breaks into other databases. Tries
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 3: to do stupid stuff. Tries to.
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 3: We elicit negatives.
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 7: And those are the lowlights, but the lowlights should grab
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 7: your attention. This is brand new stuff that's been released
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 7: out into the world.
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 6: I think it's more to do with Iran.
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not necessarily– it doesn't mean it's only AI
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 3: as a threat. It just could be the unstable world.
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 6: Geopolitical environment well especially since we and israel have announced
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 6: that after the midterm elections we're going to resume attacks
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 6: on iran and of course we saw what their cyber
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 6: agents were able to do infiltrating water systems around the
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 6: country they cracked the pentagon dude they couldn't they didn't
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 6: poison anything but they've proven they can get into the
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 6: infrastructure so i think all of these global countries including
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 6: the u.s are like Well, prepare in case the power
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 6: grid goes down and it may be down for a while.
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 3: That's kind of what– when I say AI, that's what
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 3: I mean. The whole idea of AI attacking your power grid, your–
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 3: the water supply.
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 2: Things of that nature.
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 3: You can have a foreign government doing it and hacking.
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 3: That's not AI doing it.
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 2: If they're using AI to do it, they are.
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 3: Do you realize, did you read today that they've already
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 3: solved a math problem that was unsolved for 100 years
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 3: and AI did it?
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah.
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 3: I know they came up with a bunch of problems
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 3: about 25 years ago and it's been solving those problems.
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 3: It's solving issues left and right. What I'm saying is,
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know that it's defensible. And you
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 3: said something very interesting. You said those are the lowlights.
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 3: What are the highlights? What are the highlights of AI?
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 3: If you were as a citizen right now, you could
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 3: think to yourself, you know what? AI is good for this.
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 3: What would that be?
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 7: Honestly, going off of what I've been told, just kind
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 7: of like the agents, I'm going off of what I've
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 7: been told. It's supposed to be helping medicinal practices. It's
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 7: supposed to help out the study of medicine. I just
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 7: heard a highlight. It just conquered some legendary math problems. Yeah,
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 7: but if that helps humanity, it's good. If it does
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 7: not help humanity, what good is it? I mean, AI
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 7: is supposed to be the tool to make our lives better, right?
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 7: AI is supposed to be a tool to use to
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 7: make humanity a better place, to make the Earth a
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 7: better place to live. And I don't see the highlights
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 7: of that yet because all I see is chaos and
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 7: job loss. Sure, companies are getting rich. Sure, they're doing
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 7: that by using AI to replace human employees. That's awesome
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 7: for them. But where does AI affect humanity in a
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 7: positive way outside of medicinal advancements, which we know for
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 7: a fact I've said since the onset of it, that's
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 7: going to be its major marker for me. I know
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 7: I don't stand on this side of the argument, but
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 7: I agree. One of the pros, I would say, of
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 7: AI right now, and once again, I don't really like
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 7: AI too much. It's a complex thing. The toothpaste is out,
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 7: and now it's subjective of what people like and what
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 7: people don't like about it. But the one thing that
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 7: I do enjoy is that it's public. And I understand
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 7: that if something is free, you are the product. But
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 7: the fact that I have the same AI, I think,
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 7: as Jack does, that we all have... The opportunity, like
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 7: it's not being held back.
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's, again, what you've been told.
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 7: I mean, do you believe the same– No, anybody can
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 7: sign up on OpenChat, whatever the.
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 2: Name of the company is. Yeah, understood.
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 7: That's an anthropic– OpenAI. But my point is this.
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 3: You've been told that's the one that's the best, but
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 3: we don't know what models they have that they're not releasing.
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 3: They're using– elsewhere right like we don't know what they're
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 3: using behind the scenes we don't know what anthropic or
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 3: claude we don't know where we're using the one they're
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 3: letting issues but that's the case with all unreleased products
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 3: you know like i don't have the new next macbook
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 3: that they're working on yeah but the next macbook isn't
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 3: going to change humanity that's what that what i'm saying
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 3: is is when you have a tool so let me
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 3: give an example of this To me, it's really similar
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 3: to Elon Musk having access to running Starshield. We just
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 3: saw this with the thing with Ukraine where he cut
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 3: the services for Ukraine because they violated the agreement or whatever, right? Well,
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 3: in that context of doing that, that means a country
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 3: couldn't protect themselves from incoming ballistic missile attacks from Russia.
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 3: Our nemesis. One man had power over that.
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 2: One man. Not elected. Not elected.
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 7: But is that AI?
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 3: Well, it's part of AI.
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 7: I look at that as just the powerful and the
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 7: power of money. But part of that is AI, I believe,
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 7: because I believe that part of that would be using
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 7: AI as a tool to logistically deal with all of
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 7: the things that the satellites are doing. Yeah, well, it
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 7: wasn't AI that sent them up to space.
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no question.
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 7: It was a rocket.
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 3: And it wasn't AI that pushed the button and killed it.
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 3: But my point is one person has access to that.
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 3: So what I'm saying is the companies who run AI,
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 3: the AI companies, their leaders and their internal machines have
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 3: access to something that you probably don't know about.
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 3: And I don't know how they're– I think you should
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 3: really regulate this to the point where it's only used
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 3: for the positive of humanity, not gathering your information so
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 3: they can sell you something. Over and over, which seemingly
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 3: is what it's being used for more than anything when
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 3: it comes to non-medicine or non-problem-solving issues. I've been a
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 3: huge fan of that R-word throughout my young adult and,
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 3: I guess, mid-adult life now.
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 2: Regulate?
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 7: Regulate. And boy, does that word piss people off.
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 3: Well, it does, but the people who don't think about
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 3: it enough get pissed off about it because they hear
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 3: the word regulate and they've been programmed, Pavlovianly programmed to
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 3: believe that when they hear that word, it's bad, it's socialist,
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 3: it's Democrat crap or whatever. But you get regulated every
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 3: day of your life. You don't just drive through stoplights.
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 3: You're being regulated every single time you get into everything
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 3: you do in America. There is a regulation keeping you
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 3: from being stupid to yourself.
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 7: And other people. I think it's so blatant. I think
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 7: maybe back in the day it was a little bit
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 7: more hidden, but now it's just so blatant that it–
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 7: Those powerful people are the only ones that have access
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 7: to that. They are above regulation. And I think Elon,
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 7: I would put him as an example of someone who
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 7: is literally above the law.
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 3: We break up companies like this all the time. We
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 3: broke up Standard Oil. We broke up Microsoft. Companies have
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 3: been broken up all the time. When the government decides
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 3: that one person should not have that much power over
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 3: an asset that controls so many other people.
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 3: AT & T? Yeah, AT & T. And it will
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 3: happen again. It will happen again. I mean, Facebook, I
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 3: bet it got broke up.
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 2: Did they not? Or wait a minute. Did they force
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 2: them to sell? No, they didn't.
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 7: No, they bought Instagram.
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 7: I think that's happened a little bit more before I
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 7: was paying attention because I'm waiting for that mystery sauce
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 7: to happen of like a company being broken up by
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 7: the federal government.
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 3: The fact is that you're being told just, I mean,
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 3: like nationally, globally, like countries are telling people, hey, stop
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 3: going on supplies.
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 2: Right. We don't know what's going to happen.
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 3: We don't know what can happen any given day because
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 3: of war or because of technology.
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 2: We don't know. That won't cause a panic.
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 17: Yeah.
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 3: All right.

  Speaker 3: Back in a sec with more of the Jim Colbert Show.
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 23: I think in Florida you're going to need two emergency
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 23: situation bags, especially if you have to leave the house,
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 23: then maybe you need three. But you're going to have
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 23: big stuff in one, you know, lots of stuff in
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 23: case you're just unhoused for a while or don't have
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 23: power or whatever. And then a little one you can have,
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 23: you know, peanut butter, tequila, lingerie, a boom box. You
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 23: got to be able to listen to the real radio because,
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 23: you know, you guys are going in no matter what, right?
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 2: That's why we call it the Sniper.

  Speaker 5: What?
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 6: My go bag will definitely have peanut butter and tequila.
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, for sure. What about the lingerie? Oh, okay.
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 2: I'm Jim. There's Deb.
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 6: Got to earn some money.
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 3: Jack is here. And so is Ross.
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 7: Just peanut butter and tequila.
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 3: And, of course, to add on to all the fun
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 3: stuff we deal with here in Florida, we've had another...
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 3: A dengue fever has raised its ugly head. I guess
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 3: we just heard today about the second case out of
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 3: Seminole County. You guys welcome Teresa and Andy from Seminole
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 3: County Mosquito Control Program.
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 2: Thank you for having us here today.
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 3: Thanks for coming out. We appreciate that very much.
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 2: Teresa, how are you doing?
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 12: All right.
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 7: How are you?
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 2: Doing great, man. Doing great.
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 3: Well, this is an interesting kind of scenario, right? I mean,
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 3: I've been told that you are an expert on mosquitoes.
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 10: Yes, sir.
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 3: So it's funny because we are making fun of the
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 3: dengue mosquito because it's the best dressed of all the mosquitoes.
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 11: It is.
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 2: It's very pretty.
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 3: It's got fancy socks. It's got a spotted top, all
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 3: nine yards. Looks very hocus pocus. Now, can I ask you, Teresa?
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 3: So it's funny when we had a mosquito fly into
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 3: our house. I've got a grandson. They're living with us.
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 3: And when the mosquito came in the house, it might
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 3: as well have been an armed terrorist. We all freaked
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 3: out because of this dengue. We chased this mosquito around
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 3: and shut it down immediately. Does the mosquito have to
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 3: bite you completely? At what level does the mosquito have
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 3: to bite to transfer dengue?
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 13: It would have to bite you and take a blood sample.
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 2: So it would leave a welt.
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 3: So if it landed on you and you slapped it
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 3: before it got to bite, you would be pretty safe?
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 13: Absolutely.
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 6: Oh, that's an invitation for your wife just to.
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. Oh, mosquito.
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 7: I'm pretty pumped about some Skeeter talk because I have
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 7: some questions. Is it true that females are the only
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 7: mosquitoes that actually bite?
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 14: Yes.
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 2: All right, cool.
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 6: Because they need that. That's what they use to feed
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 6: their young, right? Or the eggs.
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 13: Yes, they need that blood meal for their eggs.
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 2: Do they really? Yeah, yeah.
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 6: I was wondering because, you know, this started over on
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 6: the Gulf Coast, right? This has really been a Hillsborough County,
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 6: kind of the epicenter of the dengue outbreak. As a county,
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 6: do you guys coordinate with other counties so that when
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 6: you start to hear these cases popping up, like West
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 6: Nile just showing up in Sarasota County the other day,
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 6: do you guys coordinate at all with your mosquito eradication efforts?
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 13: Absolutely. So Mosquito Control is a very tight-knit community. We
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 13: help each other out. If there's cases on our border,
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 13: we call the other mosquito control to let them know.
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 13: If you need help, you can call another county.
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 6: Because again, if you're going to the Rays game, you're
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 6: traveling into that area and there's so much inter-county travel
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 6: in Florida, that's what one county sounds like their problem
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 6: could quickly become your local problem.
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 10: Certainly.
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 20: I mean, mosquitoes don't know boundaries at all, so they
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 20: don't know where to stop at the county line and
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 20: be like, they're going to stay over in Orange County.
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 2: No, they're going to come over to Seminole County, too.
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 7: You're not welcome here.
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 3: Is your normal bug spray with DEET, does that offer
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 3: protection from you, or is this particular mosquito not affected
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 3: by that?
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 13: No, it does offer you protection. You should use a
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 13: repellent of some sort that has DEET in it.
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 3: And that's D-E-E-T, and that's the common thing there?
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 3: And because of Seminole County, you guys, again, you have
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 3: the river that runs there. You have three gigantic lakes,
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 3: Lake Harney and Lake, the one with all the gators.
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 2: Lake Jessup.
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 3: So you do have those slow-moving, stained. So you guys,
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, Seminole County really could be an epicenter for
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 3: something like this, right?
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 13: It could be because we have that and we have
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 13: a lot of travel. We have the airport.
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 2: We have the zoo.
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 13: People are visiting.
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 13: That have traveled.
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 6: That's got to put extra pressure then on maybe our
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 6: local counties that deal with a lot more tourism than
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 6: maybe your rural counties like Hardy County may not have
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 6: to deal with this in the way that Seminole County
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 6: has to.
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 23: Yep.
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 20: Yeah, we're a bit more tourism adjacent, being so close
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 20: to Orange County and all. But, I mean, all of
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 20: those locations that she mentioned, the zoo, the airport, these
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 20: are all places that the mosquito control team actually goes
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 20: out there and actively fogs preemptively. And that's such a
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 20: huge part of trying to control that mosquito population.
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, when I lived in Geneva, they used to come
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 3: through quite often. I lived there in Seminole Woods, and
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 3: they would come through and run that thing all the time.
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 3: And we were grateful for that, for sure. But for
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 3: people who live in areas that might not... have a
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 3: truck that comes near them maybe they live rurally and
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 3: seminole county offers a lot of rural living is there
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 3: something that people can do themselves like we had a
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 3: little muck pond behind our house and we had a
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 3: particularly bad season but we had a bat box as
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 3: well which really helped out but we got those little
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 3: pod things that you could throw in the water are
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 3: those actually effective and what is that by the.
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 13: Way absolutely um you can go to any like box
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 13: store and buy Mosquito donks or pellets. Yeah, it looks
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 13: like a little donut or a little square. And you
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 13: can get them where it's just a bacteria that only
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 13: affects mosquitoes or a methaprine. That's a growth regulator just
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 13: for mosquitoes.
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 6: Okay, so it won't hurt birds, butterflies, bees, cats, dogs,
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 6: that kind of thing.
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 3: And you throw it in that standing water, and we
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 3: had that pond area, and we put about four or
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 3: five of them in front of the pond. And what
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 3: it does, it kills the larva.
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 2: Does it not?
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 13: Yes, it doesn't allow the larva to hatch off.
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 2: Right, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 13: You can use fish as well. As long as the
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 13: water can maintain the fish, you could just use them
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 13: instead of putting a product in.
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 3: Oh, and fish will eat the larvae?
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 6: Yes, fish in bat boxes.
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 3: Teresa, when does the fogging usually occur in the county?
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 3: What's the season that you'd want to fog to keep
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 3: down the mosquito population?
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 24: So we don't.
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 13: Particularly have a season, but we surveillance the county all
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 13: year long. And when we notice the populations rising in
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 13: our traps of adult mosquitoes, we go out and start fogging.
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 13: And usually it starts around April or May and depends
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 13: on the weather. If we have a dry part, usually June,
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 13: July is a little dry, a little crunchy. And then August, September,
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 13: and then October and November.
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 3: So if you're out and around and you do happen
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 3: to get hit by a mosquito, it's in Florida. Chances
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 3: are you will. I mean, when you smack that thing,
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 3: should you keep it? I mean, to kind of get
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 3: an idea what's going on? Because, I mean, there's going
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 3: to be a weird kind of panic. I mean, every
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 3: time you get bitten by a mosquito now, you're going
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 3: to wonder if it's one of the well-dressed ones.
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 7: Should we put it on a pike to send a message?
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 20: I was like, I don't know what kind of trophies
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 20: you're keeping over here.
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 2: It's a weird show.
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 7: Jim's kind of like the predator.
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 20: You know, that's actually a good point, though, is Teresa,
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 20: they have an AI mosquito identifier that helps identify what
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 20: kind of mosquito is.
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 7: That's an AI highlight.
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that is a highlight.
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 2: I agree 100%. That's the kind of way to use AI. Yeah,
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 2: for sure.
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 7: And before people think that, like, oh, man, it's just
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 7: dengue talk or mosquito talk, friendly, this is such a
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 7: crazy fact. The top three human killers, snakes at, like,
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 7: 50,000 to 100,000 per year. Humans, about 500,000 a year.
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 7: Mosquitoes coming in real hot with just shy of a mil.
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 6: Every single year, right? It's the deadliest animal on the planet.
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 6: That's why mosquito nets, like we talked about before, are
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 6: so important. If you're staying anywhere tropical and you can't
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 6: close the windows or have a screen, those nets will
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 6: save your life.
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 7: And with it being the deadliest animal on the planet,
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 7: but also being kind of like the spine of the
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 7: planet's ecosystem, correct?
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 7: Without mosquitoes, I think we all die.
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 2: Nobody loves mosquitoes more than theresa but.
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 6: I don't know wow you love mosquitoes i do what really.
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 7: What got you into them because i'm kind of following
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 7: your path.
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 13: They just fascinate me like they've been here since the
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 13: dinosaurs and they're still here yeah yeah um and we
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 13: combat them all the time and we're not winning we're
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 13: not winning so it's just it's Mind-boggling that they can
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 13: just figure out how to out-manipulate us and still be here.
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 3: And we live with a lot of that. We have
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 3: gators in Florida that do.
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 13: The same thing.
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 6: I just love how people think they're the smartest animal.
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 3: Teresa, when the fogger truck is coming down your block,
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 3: should you run inside and hide? We'll get your ice
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 3: cream money. What is being fogged?
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 2: For a snort.
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 3: And how far away should you stay from that vehicle? Oh,
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 3: that's a great question.
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah, because I'll usually be smoking a cigarette on my
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 6: front porch when it rolls through. I'm like, time to
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 6: go in?
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 3: Well, you ran through it as a kid hoping for
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 3: a little happiness.
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 13: Well, you probably should go in because it is a pesticide. But,
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 13: I mean, if you're outside and you got sprayed, it's
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 13: not going to hurt you. We basically use water-based products.
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 13: And we're spraying an ounce of a water-based product an acre.
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 13: So you've got to figure an acre.
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 13: And we're fogging the whole time. And these tiny little
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 13: micron droplets that are evaporating before they hit the ground.
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 6: Okay, so don't freak out when you see it. Definitely
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 6: don't stand like Jimmy said and bring your ice cream.
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 13: If we see you, we try to turn the chemical off.
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 13: The fogger will still be running, but we'll turn the
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 13: pump off if we see you early enough.
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 3: Don't lick the leaves. Whatever you do, don't lick the leaves. Hey,
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 3: so if I have small kids and– oh, let me ask. Actually,
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 3: this is the first question because I asked this to
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 3: somebody and they couldn't tell me. When is– When does
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 3: it get cold enough where we won't have to worry
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 3: about this? Because in Florida, I know that's difficult. Is
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 3: there a temperature thing where it comes through and once
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 3: it drops down past that, it wipes out a level
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 3: of them or something?
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 13: When it gets down into like the 50s, it'll make
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 13: the mosquitoes slow down.
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 2: They don't eat.
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 13: The larvae don't eat under 50 degrees, so they're not
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 13: going to hatch out as fast, but it won't kill them.
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 2: It's not going to kill them.
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 13: Yeah, they're going to harbor over winter.
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 6: Got it.
• 1:44:42
  Speaker 13: If we got into freezing temperatures for like three or
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 13: four days and it was like below 32, that'd wipe
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 13: them out.
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the thing that killed my yard last year.
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 13: Yikes.
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 2: I'll take the mosquitoes because that was expensive.
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 7: Dengue versus malaria who wins in that octagon fight to
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 7: the death you should have seen.
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 3: The breath she just took when you said that like
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 3: she's been asked it 150 times give us the answer now.
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 13: Two totally separate things like dengue is a virus malaria
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 13: is not a virus it's a parasite.
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah oh i did not know that yeah oh really
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 6: i think the parasite beats the virus right it It does.
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah. She said that as if this guy is
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 7: a moron.
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 2: I told you, nobody knows more.
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 3: Teresa, we went several years without a freeze. And then
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 3: this past winter, we had exactly what you described. I
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 3: think three consecutive days in the 20s and stuff. He's
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 3: bringing that up because he killed my lawn. Yeah, and
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 3: many of the foliage I have in my yard as well. However,
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 3: how did that affect the current population? Because we're still
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 3: dealing with a big mosquito issue, but we did have
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 3: a freeze.
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 2: So would it have been worse without that freeze?
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 13: Oh, yes, absolutely. So you'll notice every year, like when
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 13: we have our winters, like the mosquitoes will die down.
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 13: But you'll notice sometimes in the summer times, like the
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 13: mosquitoes will be bad. The fleas will be bad. Rodents
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 13: will be bad. And it's because it wasn't cold enough.
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 13: For a long amount of time.
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 2: Right, right, right.
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 3: Now, I see you have some tattoos. Do you have
• 1:46:14
  Speaker 3: a mosquito tattoo?
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 13: Not yet.
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 2: Not yet? You're going to get one?
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 10: Maybe.
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 2: Full back piece?
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 13: I don't know about that.
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 2: Come on.
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 12: Come on.
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 3: So, Teresa, we know we the county does a huge
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 3: service in protecting our environment. What can the Seminole County
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 3: or any homeowner, Florida homeowner do? What would you recommend
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 3: for making sure their property is as safe as possible
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 3: from the threat of mosquitoes?
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 13: Just for mosquitoes in general, just always drain and cover,
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 13: cover things that can hold water. You know, check your
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 13: boats and drain them, your kids' toys, clean your gutters,
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 13: any little bit of water outside and plants or buckets,
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 13: trash can lids, any of that.
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 13: Can rear mosquitoes. And I mean, we find a lot
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 13: of that when we're out doing inspections.
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 20: And any resident can actually call in and put in
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 20: a service request and ask for them to come out
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 20: and evaluate their property so that they have a better
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 20: understanding of, you know, you kind of ignore the birdbath
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 20: or you're kind of ignoring this one little thing.
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 7: You're not seeing it.
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 20: Well, the mosquito control technicians can go out there and
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 20: point these things out to you and say, well, this
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 20: is why you have a problem.
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 6: Well, speaking of bird baths, is a mosquito dunk appropriate
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 6: to put in a bird bath or no, you'd want
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 6: it in a larger body of water? Because we did
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 6: have someone asking if the mosquito killer is harmful to
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 6: other insects like bees and dragonflies, other pollinators.
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 13: Yeah, no, you can put it in a bird bath. Yeah,
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 13: it's fine for that. Or you could flush your bird
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 13: bath out like every three days okay i would get
• 1:47:45
  Speaker 13: rid of the larva.
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 3: Is there a particular time of day that's more dangerous
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 3: i would think obviously in florida you notice in the
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 3: summer when the sun starts going down you can look
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 3: up and see against the sky you can see those
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 3: damn things out everywhere is it just the evenings are.
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 13: Also in the morning it's early morning as well um
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 13: it's basically dawn and dusk we have west you know
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 13: we have west nile virus and triple e so you're
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 13: You're trying to protect yourself from that all year. So
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 13: at dawn and dusk is when you really need to.
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Jim. How many people are part of the
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 2: mosquito control team in Seminole County?
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 13: We have 10 full-time.
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 8: People.
• 1:48:20
  Speaker 2: 10 full-time people.
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 20: And they serve the entire county. None of the cities
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 20: have their own individual mosquito control.
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 2: Oh, gotcha.
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 13: We do border to border.
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 7: I got another dumb question from the top rope coming
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 7: in real high.
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 2: She just rolled her eyes.
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 3: She literally just rolled her eyes. She's thinking about that
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 3: back knee. She can't think about anything else right now.
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 2: That and rectangles.
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 17: How.
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 7: I understand that it just plops right in, but how
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 7: do they actually suck our blood?
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 13: Oh, that's a good question.
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 5: So.
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 13: They have a proboscis that's like a little needle, and
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 13: they basically find a vein by smelling you and drill in,
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 13: and they have an anticoagulant that they actually put in
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 13: you to make the blood thinner to suck it back out.
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 3: So, in other words, the blood never clots while they're
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 3: working on you.
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 12: Wow.
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 7: And then real fast, they're looking for a vein? It's
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 7: not just like a random part of your body?
• 1:49:12
  Speaker 13: No, they're looking. They can smell.
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 6: Because that's how they find us, right?
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 13: That's how they find us from the CO2. Oh, that
• 1:49:18
  Speaker 13: would be the same!
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 3: Wow, because that's what the traps are, right? The mosquito
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 3: traps are basically a bottle of CO2 that seeps out,
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 3: and as they come to get it, they catch them
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 3: in the traps, right?
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 13: Absolutely.
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 2: Wow, that's so crazy.
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 3: Can I ask, I mean, so if you have kids,
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 3: and Halloween's coming up, kids are going to be out
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 3: on Halloween.
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 6: Oh, and it's going to be warm, too.
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 3: Would you suggest, maybe like.
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 3: What those fishermen wear, like the long sleeve things that
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 3: will cover you up, but it's light enough or it's
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 3: not so hot.
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 2: Would you kind of recommend that?
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 13: I would recommend covering up as much as you could.
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 17: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 2: And certainly with insect repellent.
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 3: Right, right, right. And that's a definite, right? Halloween, everybody's
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 3: going to be out. With this thing out there, you've
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 3: got to be super safe. So if you're taking your
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 3: kids out, make sure they have... Is DEET safe for kids?
• 1:50:00
  Speaker 3: I remember at one point there was a weird study
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 3: with it and.
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 15: It is.
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 13: It's safe for kids. And they make a kid's DEET
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 13: as well that you can buy at the store.
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 2: Right, right, right.
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 3: And that's what you would suggest for sure?
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 3: So, I mean, everybody out there, I think, you know,
• 1:50:12
  Speaker 3: you're going, you know, trick-or-treating Saturday. Good idea maybe to,
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 3: you know, make sure your kids have plenty of DEET
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 3: on them so you don't have to deal with those
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 3: issues for sure. I mean, this is no joke. Dengue
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 3: is no joke, right? It's nasty.
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 5: It is.
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 6: So how do you pronounce the name of the mosquito?
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 6: Do you know?
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 13: Aedes aegypti.
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 2: Oh, that was awesome.
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 6: That's when you know she's a baller.
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 2: Did you go to school for this?
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 13: No, I went to school for environmental science.
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 2: Did you? And just kind of wound up here?
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 13: In mosquito control.
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 3: And how long did you study this animal? I mean,
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 3: did you spend a lot of time? Once you got
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 3: in there, are you one of these people that just
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 3: kind of buried yourself in it to learn everything?
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 13: And we're still learning. I mean, I've been doing this
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 13: for over 24 years, and I'm still learning.
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 16: Really?
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, real quick, when you go to the county,
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 3: did they put an ad out, hey, looking for a
• 1:50:59
  Speaker 3: mosquito expert type thing, or is this just something that?
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 13: They just put out an ad looking for mosquito control workers.
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 13: I try to teach the mosquito control staff we have
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 13: now what I know. And so it just kind.
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 2: Of goes on. Yeah, there you go.
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 20: And they have some really interesting tools that they're able
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 20: to utilize, including a sentinel chicken program.
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 6: I was going to ask if you guys use sentinel chickens.
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. I actually thought that was a breed of chicken.
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 2: They breed the newspaper, right?
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 18: Yeah.
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 2: That's embarrassing. Don't laugh, Teresa. That's a liberal chicken. Just
• 1:51:27
  Speaker 2: because I did think it was.
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 3: It's a liberal chicken that writes really gnarly stuff about
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 3: our governor.
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 2: But call it Maxwell!
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 3: So is mosquito control, it seems like it's an essential service.
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 3: Is it considered that in the government? Because we've been
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 3: taught with this talk about Amendment 3 being on the
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 3: ballot and with counties and local governments having to do
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 3: more with less if it's passed. How will that affect
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 3: mosquito control? Because this seems like something we don't want
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 3: to lose in the county. Yeah, great question.
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 2: And is that a concern you guys have?
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 20: Yeah, mosquito control would definitely be affected. We had recent
• 1:52:05
  Speaker 20: budget work sessions where our environmental services director specifically talked
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 20: about what kind of programs that they would have to
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 20: eliminate because we're doing the exercise of removing 20% of
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 20: every single department's budget and what that would look like
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 20: because that would be ultimately what would happen. And mosquito control,
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 20: it would basically go from being that proactive, like that
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 20: proactive fogging, the sentinel chickens, all of those different programs,
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 20: it would become reactive. They would only be doing the
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 20: fogging right now if there was a dengue fever, but
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 20: they wouldn't be doing it as much, and certainly not
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 20: if there wasn't the disease right now.
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 6: Which would increase the number of cases because you wouldn't
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 6: be out there preemptively spraying, so you'd have a lot
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 6: more residents coming down with dengue than they are right now.
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 20: Yeah, and I mean, they do fogging for special events
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 20: for around the zoo. We have a mosquito tracker around
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 20: the zoo as well for the airport. So all of
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 20: that kind of special fogging requests that you do for
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 20: larger events and all just wouldn't be able to be
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 20: a priority, nor would we be able to do those
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 20: service inspections of going to a neighborhood and talking to
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 20: the different residents.
• 1:53:06
  Speaker 3: Man, you must be troubled, man.
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 7: You love mosquitoes so much, but your job is just
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 7: executing one after the other.
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:53:12
  Speaker 2: That's so crazy. It's a paradox.
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 3: What a paradox of a life.
• 1:53:14
  Speaker 6: It's either that or she's out there, you know, coming
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 6: to get you.
• 1:53:18
  Speaker 3: You're one of our greatest warriors. You are the greatest warrior.
• 1:53:21
  Speaker 12: You are a hero.
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 6: Not every hero wears capes.
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 2: Some wear foggers.
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 3: So, guys, online, where can people go to find out
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 3: more about what services you guys offer?
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 2: So, it's SeminoleCountyFL.gov.
• 1:53:33
  Speaker 20: And our mosquito control section of the website, that's where
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 20: they can file a request to have an inspection or
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 20: say that this is a big area that needs some
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 20: additional fogging.
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 2: So all of those requests.
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 13: Can go through there.
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 2: Awesome. So that's SeminoleCounty.gov.
• 1:53:46
  Speaker 7: SeminoleCountyFL.gov.
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 2: SeminoleCountyFL.gov. Very good. Thank you, guys.

  Speaker 6: But, Teresa, will you please send us a photo when
• 1:53:59

  Speaker 2: We'll put it on the website.
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 3: How about dueling fog trucks on the inside of your arms?
• 1:54:06
  Speaker 2: I'd love it.
• 1:54:09
  Speaker 10: There you go.
• 1:54:12

  Speaker 2: Bridges out here in Austin.

  Speaker 22: Yeah, that Pepto commercial song is an earworm.
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 2: But I always felt that Pepto was leaving money on
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 2: the table by not using the best diarrhea song. You
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 2: remember this, guys?
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.

  Speaker 1: Diarrhea.
• 1:54:41
  Speaker 6: Diarrhea.
• 1:54:41
  Speaker 2: I don't remember that one.
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, when you're sliding into second. When you're sliding
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 3: in the third, you can feel a big old turd.
• 1:54:47
  Speaker 2: Oh, jeez.
• 1:54:48
  Speaker 6: Never heard that one.
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 3: When you're sliding in the home and your pants are
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 3: full of foam.
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 2: Diarrhea, diarrhea.
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 7: You know what's weird? I only know the latter. When
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 7: you're going up the ladder, then you feel something splatter.
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 3: I've not even heard that one. I've never heard the
• 1:54:59
  Speaker 3: baseball one.
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 2: I've heard the... Let's get together and have a beer.

  Speaker 3: It's National Chocolate Day.
• 1:56:19
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 3: National Chocolate Day. Here are three fun facts about chocolate
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 3: and one throbbing cavity of a lie. All right, we're
• 1:56:26
  Speaker 3: talking about chocolate here. Howard, which one of these is
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 3: not true? Number one, chocolate contains phenylethylamine, the same chemical
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 3: your body releases when you fall in love. Number two,
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 3: for 90% of its existence, chocolate was consumed as a drink.
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 3: It's only been eaten for the last 100 years. Number three,
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 3: cacao trees can live up to 200 years, but they
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 3: only produce pods for fruit for about 50 of those years.
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 3: Or lastly, a single cacao pod contains 30 to 50 seeds.
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 3: That's enough to make about two dark chocolate bars. Which
• 1:56:59
  Speaker 3: of those is a lie? the last one no that's
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 3: absolutely true a single cacao pod contains about 30 to
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 3: 50 seeds those seeds will turn into about two bars
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 3: of dark chocolate.
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 2: And now you know why it's so expensive.
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 3: That's right one three four or five let's go five
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 3: five sounds good that is our friend teresa teresa how are.
• 1:57:18
  Speaker 2: You Hi, how are you? Doing good.
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 3: We're talking about chocolate trees. So which one of these
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 3: is not true? Number one, chocolate contains phenylethylamine, which is
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 3: the same chemical your body releases when you fall in love.
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 3: Number two, for 90% of its existence, chocolate was consumed
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 3: as a drink. It's only been eaten for the last
• 1:57:36
  Speaker 3: 100 years. Or lastly, cacao trees can live up to
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 3: 200 years, but they only produce pods or fruit for
• 1:57:41
  Speaker 3: about 50 of those years.
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 17: You're going to go with number two.
• 1:57:46
  Speaker 3: No, that's absolutely true. And funny enough, you are the
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 3: one who told me about that a while back, that
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 3: when cacao or chocolate was kind of produced, it was
• 1:57:55
  Speaker 3: actually mixed with chili peppers and stuff first. And salt.
• 1:57:59
  Speaker 3: It was a spicy, bitter drink before it was a
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 3: sweet drink. So it just started being talked into or
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 3: turned into um chocolate bars since about uh.
• 1:58:08
  Speaker 7: The turn of the century and spicy chocolate's a fun
• 1:58:10
  Speaker 7: time spicy.
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 3: Chocolate is a good ass time you eat more to
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 3: cool down your mouth it doesn't work but you like
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 3: that rush all right one three or four let's go
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 3: one one sounds good that's our friend josh josh how
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 3: are you I'm good.
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 4: How are you?
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 2: Good, buddy.
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 3: You got a 50-50 shot here. We're talking about chocolate.
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 3: Which one of these isn't true? Number one, chocolate contains phenylethylamine,
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 3: the same chemical that releases when you fall in love.
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 3: Or lastly, cacao trees can live up to 200 years,
• 1:58:36
  Speaker 3: but they only produce pods or fruit for about 50.
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 2: Of those years.
• 1:58:40
  Speaker 19: I'm going to go with number one.
• 1:58:41
  Speaker 3: No, that's absolutely true. The chocolate contains phenylethylamine, which is
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 3: the same chemical your body releases when you fall in love.
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 3: And I think that's why chocolate is considered an aphrodisiac.
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 6: And why you give the gift at Valentine's Day.
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 2: James or Mike?
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 12: James.
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 2: James is the answer. James, how's it going, buddy? I'm
• 1:59:02
  Speaker 2: doing great.
• 1:59:03
  Speaker 11: Thanks, Dad.
• 1:59:03
  Speaker 2: You are doing great, James.
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 3: Tell me, James, is this true? Cacao trees can live
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 3: to 200 years, but they only produce pods for fruit
• 1:59:11
  Speaker 3: for about 50 of those years.
• 1:59:14
  Speaker 12: Man, I don't think that's true.
• 1:59:15
  Speaker 3: It is not true, and you are a winner. Hey,
• 1:59:17
  Speaker 3: how many years do they actually produce fruit out of
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 3: the 200.
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 2: Years they lived?
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 4: Maybe 60.
• 1:59:24
  Speaker 3: It's only 25 years.
• 1:59:25
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow. I'm going to put you on hold, buddy.
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 2: You're a winner there. Yay, congratulations.
• 1:59:29
  Speaker 3: Although the cacao tree can live 200 years, it actually
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 3: only produces fruit for about 25 of those years.
• 1:59:34
  Speaker 6: Another reason why chocolate can be so expensive.
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 3: And by the way, a very, very fragile plant is
• 1:59:41
  Speaker 3: the cacao tree, and that's why they only grow in
• 1:59:44
  Speaker 3: certain regions. We'll find out more about that in a second.
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 3: Here's some other... Things you may not know about chocolate
• 1:59:49
  Speaker 3: before we get to the top of the hour. We've
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 3: got some raw thoughts coming up.
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 2: We do.
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 3: The word chocolate is derived from the Aztec word escotlo.
• 1:59:56
  Speaker 3: I know it sounds like that's wrong, but it's right. X-O-C-O-L-T-L.
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 7: It just sounds like it.
• 2:00:04
  Speaker 11: Xotl?
• 2:00:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Is it chotl?
• 2:00:06
  Speaker 6: It sounds like chotl. It's X-O-C-O-L-A-T-L. I think that makes
• 2:00:12
  Speaker 6: the show sound.
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 2: Is that it? I believe so.
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 3: It translates to bitter water.
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 10: No.
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 3: Switzerland consumes the most chocolate per capita.
• 2:00:20
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 3: With each resident consuming how much per year in pounds?
• 2:00:25
  Speaker 2: What? Fourteen. Pounds. It's four.
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 17: Oh.
• 2:00:30
  Speaker 2: Split the gap seven.
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 3: All right 22 is the answer 22 pounds of chocolate
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 3: a year that means each each person in switzerland eats
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 3: almost two pounds of chocolate a month.
• 2:00:40
  Speaker 6: How are they not obese how do they still have
• 2:00:43
  Speaker 6: feet yeah or teeth africa produces how much of the
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 6: world's chocolate supply.
• 2:00:48
  Speaker 7: 82 percent you're gonna remember this was a south american
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 7: thing first but now they have uh They have transported
• 2:00:55
  Speaker 7: these crops into Africa where they produce this much.
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 10: 22%.
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 2: 22, what'd you say? I said 82.
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 17: 30?
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 7: 70% of all the chocolate in the world. God, I
• 2:01:05
  Speaker 7: was going to embarrass myself.
• 2:01:06
  Speaker 3: And then lastly, the chocolate industry is worth how much
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 3: per year in business?
• 2:01:11
  Speaker 2: 1.3 trill.
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 10: Ooh.
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 2: 70 billion. 70 billion a year.
• 2:01:15
  Speaker 3: I'll go 150 billion a year. Jack beat you by 20.
• 2:01:25
  Speaker 3: It's $ 100 billion a year. $ 100 billion a year in chocolate.
• 2:01:29
  Speaker 7: I don't think I've ever been $ 900 billion off. Jim,
• 2:01:36
  Speaker 7: the fateful date was November 24th, 1992. Something happened for
• 2:01:43
  Speaker 7: the very first time. And now in 2026, I think
• 2:01:47
  Speaker 7: next month will be the last one of these. I
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 7: have talked about it on this program before. But I've
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 7: gathered even more notes to talk about something that is
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 7: about to go the way of the dodo right here,
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 7: right now. I think the last one is next month.
• 2:02:02
  Speaker 17: No.
• 2:02:02
  Speaker 7: I will tell you the top five biggest one of
• 2:02:05
  Speaker 7: these amazing events that is leaving society, I think, by
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 7: the end of this year.
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 2: All right. We'll do that next here on The Jim
• 2:02:12
  Speaker 2: Colbert Show. Stay put.
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 1: You're listening to The Jim Colbert Show. Watch the chaos
• 2:02:18
  Speaker 1: live at realradio.fm slash watch.
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 24: So it's my personal opinion or conspiracy theory or whatever
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 24: that AI is the disease or virus or whatever you
• 2:02:33
  Speaker 24: want to call it from Pluribus. It was designed and
• 2:02:37
  Speaker 24: put in place by somebody or some sort of entity,
• 2:02:42
  Speaker 24: and it's not the people who are on TV saying that.
• 2:02:45
  Speaker 7: They're the creators of AI.
• 2:02:47
  Speaker 24: If you look at them, they kind of all look
• 2:02:49
  Speaker 24: like aliens anyways, but it's not for the betterment.
• 2:02:52
  Speaker 2: It's for the detriment.
• 2:02:54
  Speaker 10: Ah.
• 2:02:54
  Speaker 2: I have the same theory on Floribus, by the way. Oh,
• 2:02:56
  Speaker 2: do you really? Yeah, I think it's a metaphor for AI.
• 2:03:00
  Speaker 2: I've not seen it yet. You don't watch it, yeah.
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 3: Apple TV, if you like weird TV, Apple TV is
• 2:03:06
  Speaker 3: it for you. I'm going to visit that more often, Jack.
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 3: I have the app, and every time we're looking for something,
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 3: I'm like, what's on Amazon?
• 2:03:12
  Speaker 2: What's on this and that?
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 3: I never go to Apple TV.
• 2:03:14
  Speaker 2: I should.
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 7: Jack, how can you say that as someone who loves
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 7: Apple TV? It's not even weird.
• 2:03:19
  Speaker 2: You know what it is?
• 2:03:19
  Speaker 7: It's original and high reading level.
• 2:03:21
  Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 3: It's good stuff. I should get over there more often, 100%.
• 2:03:25
  Speaker 3: You said high reading level. I just keep forgetting I
• 2:03:28
  Speaker 3: have it. It's not in my repertoire, so it's hard
• 2:03:31
  Speaker 3: for me to go there. You went there for, what
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 3: is it, Widow's Bay?
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Widow's Bay.
• 2:03:36
  Speaker 3: But I didn't do the Ted Lasso thing, so I
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 3: wasn't acclimated to using it, I guess. Your 6 o'clock

  Speaker 7: Because I'm going to talk about.
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 2: It's funny.
• 2:03:58
  Speaker 7: Something I'm excited about.
• 2:04:00
  Speaker 24: What?
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 2: It's Ross.
• 2:04:03
  Speaker 7: Spelled like sauce. And then we'll get bummed out.
• 2:04:05
  Speaker 2: It's Ross Thoughts. Because it's leaving.
• 2:04:07
  Speaker 7: Welcome to Ross Thoughts. Today's Ross Thoughts is brought to
• 2:04:10
  Speaker 7: you by my personal hero, That Mortgage Guy Don. ThatMortgageGuyDon.com.
• 2:04:15
  Speaker 7: Did you know he has his own radio show on
• 2:04:17
  Speaker 7: your favorite radio station every weekend, Saturday morning?
• 2:04:21
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 2:04:21
  Speaker 7: Where he answers your questions live on air. You don't
• 2:04:24
  Speaker 7: know the difference between a refi and a sci-fi. I
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 7: love saying that little joke. ThatMortgageGuyDon.com. Jim, I told you
• 2:04:32
  Speaker 7: the date, November.
• 2:04:36
  Speaker 12: 24th, 1992.
• 2:04:37
  Speaker 7: Something is looked at as this being the first date
• 2:04:40
  Speaker 7: that this happened. I don't think you're going to guess it,
• 2:04:43
  Speaker 7: so I'll just shell it out. It was the first time...
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 7: something or at the very least a video game got
• 2:04:49
  Speaker 7: a midnight release oh really yeah i'd never guess that
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 7: and at least my third guess and it was sonic
• 2:04:55
  Speaker 7: that's great uh sonic the hedgehog 2 was actually looked
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 7: at as the first video game to have a midnight
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 7: release oh that's cool and is there a reason for
• 2:05:04
  Speaker 7: that or just uh the hype was real and they
• 2:05:06
  Speaker 7: were thinking hey i think if this if we sell
• 2:05:09
  Speaker 7: it at 1201 like a black friday thing almost right
• 2:05:12
  Speaker 7: not even a black friday it was full price There
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 7: is some level of excitement, and this goes to all
• 2:05:19
  Speaker 7: forms of media and all forms of entertainment consumption. When
• 2:05:24
  Speaker 7: you are one of the first and you know for
• 2:05:27
  Speaker 7: a fact you are one of the first people to
• 2:05:31
  Speaker 7: experience something on the planet.
• 2:05:33
  Speaker 2: How special is that? Very cool. Yeah, I would agree
• 2:05:36
  Speaker 2: with that.
• 2:05:36
  Speaker 7: It is a trip amongst itself. It makes your likability
• 2:05:42
  Speaker 7: for said experience, whether it's a video game, movie, or book,
• 2:05:46
  Speaker 7: just skyrocket because you will never forget that you were
• 2:05:49
  Speaker 7: one of the first people to finish Prisoner of Azkaban
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 7: or Goblet of Fire or whatever it is. But it
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 7: got me thinking, though, what are the biggest midnight releases
• 2:06:01
  Speaker 7: of all time in all forms of entertainment? Now, video games,
• 2:06:05
  Speaker 7: they have a lot of pull when it comes to
• 2:06:09
  Speaker 7: midnight releases. They kick-started this whole thing. But in 92,
• 2:06:13
  Speaker 7: they wouldn't have had that kind of juice, though. Well,
• 2:06:16
  Speaker 7: 92 was the very first one for Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
• 2:06:19
  Speaker 2: Right, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 2:06:20
  Speaker 7: I think that's when Tails showed up, and you were like, oh,
• 2:06:22
  Speaker 7: my God, you could fly?
• 2:06:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. A helicopter?
• 2:06:27
  Speaker 3: I can only think of one other thing that this
• 2:06:29
  Speaker 3: would ever happen with, but I'm not going to blow
• 2:06:31
  Speaker 3: it for you.
• 2:06:32
  Speaker 10: No, no.
• 2:06:32
  Speaker 3: Go shoot it out. I mean, it has to be iPhones.
• 2:06:35
  Speaker 3: I mean, iPhone is one of those things. I know
• 2:06:36
  Speaker 3: that Daniel Dennis, for years, I mean, we used to
• 2:06:39
  Speaker 3: kind of make fun of him a little bit. He
• 2:06:40
  Speaker 3: would go and wait in line to get the newest iPhone.
• 2:06:43
  Speaker 3: He was like really into that tech.
• 2:06:44
  Speaker 12: It's funny.
• 2:06:45
  Speaker 3: I was thinking it had to be Harry Potter.
• 2:06:46
  Speaker 7: So Harry Potter is looked at as universally the biggest
• 2:06:52
  Speaker 7: midnight release in human history.
• 2:06:54
  Speaker 3: We did not even know it was released at midnight.
• 2:06:56
  Speaker 3: I couldn't imagine they would do that for like a
• 2:06:58
  Speaker 3: kid's movie.
• 2:06:59
  Speaker 2: Not the movie.
• 2:07:00
  Speaker 6: The books. Oh, the books.
• 2:07:01
  Speaker 12: Gotcha.
• 2:07:01
  Speaker 3: And specifically kids who read.
• 2:07:04
  Speaker 7: And specifically Deathly Hallows.
• 2:07:06
  Speaker 6: That's the one I was there at midnight for.
• 2:07:08
  Speaker 2: And Deathly Hallows.
• 2:07:09
  Speaker 3: Dad, I think my kids did this, now that I'm
• 2:07:11
  Speaker 3: thinking about it.
• 2:07:12
  Speaker 6: I was there with my mother and my former sister-in-law.
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 2: Dressed up. Dressed up.
• 2:07:16
  Speaker 6: Absolutely waited in a huge, huge line.
• 2:07:19
  Speaker 7: And then how did it feel, though, when you got
• 2:07:22
  Speaker 7: that book and you realized you're the 1.0 reader?
• 2:07:27
  Speaker 6: Well, it goes before that because the excitement is because
• 2:07:30
  Speaker 6: you're in a line full of like-minded people who have
• 2:07:33
  Speaker 6: thought that this book is important enough to put on
• 2:07:35
  Speaker 6: a costume, stand outside of a bookstore... Hundreds and hundreds
• 2:07:39
  Speaker 6: of people deep, you know, waiting for a book. It
• 2:07:43
  Speaker 6: was special even before you got the book. And for
• 2:07:45
  Speaker 6: each person that purchased their copy, there'd be a little
• 2:07:48
  Speaker 6: cheer that would grow up. That would go up into
• 2:07:50
  Speaker 6: the crowd as everyone.
• 2:07:51
  Speaker 2: Yay.
• 2:07:52
  Speaker 6: Let the reading begin.
• 2:07:53
  Speaker 7: And man, hearing that just makes me feel sad because
• 2:07:57
  Speaker 7: it's such a reflection of just kind of where we're going.
• 2:08:00
  Speaker 7: at where that's never gonna happen i don't think a
• 2:08:03
  Speaker 7: book is going a book series is going to dominate
• 2:08:06
  Speaker 7: the planet.
• 2:08:08
  Speaker 3: Nobody did that for the twilight books no No, no, really?
• 2:08:11
  Speaker 7: There was a Midnight release, I believe, for maybe the
• 2:08:16
  Speaker 7: trilogy or something, but nothing comes close to Deathly Hallows
• 2:08:20
  Speaker 7: and just the world stopped at 1159 and that door opened.
• 2:08:25
  Speaker 2: Which book was that, by the way? It was the
• 2:08:26
  Speaker 2: last one. It was the last one.
• 2:08:27
  Speaker 6: Deathly Hallows.
• 2:08:28
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Deathly Hallows and then, yeah, part two was only
• 2:08:32
  Speaker 7: in the movies, right?
• 2:08:33
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 2:08:34
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 2:08:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was one book. Two movies. Two movies.
• 2:08:36
  Speaker 7: So the one book, they split into two movies. But
• 2:08:39
  Speaker 7: if you were one of those readers like Deb, you
• 2:08:41
  Speaker 7: were finally getting the conclusion to the most read book
• 2:08:45
  Speaker 7: series of all time.
• 2:08:46
  Speaker 6: And as soon as you got home, that's the first
• 2:08:48
  Speaker 6: thing you did was crack open that book and just
• 2:08:50
  Speaker 6: sit there until you couldn't hold your eyes open.
• 2:08:54
  Speaker 7: Peak of, and this is why I really wanted to
• 2:08:56
  Speaker 7: bring it up, and we kind of have talked about
• 2:08:57
  Speaker 7: this before, but I wanted to give it more respect,
• 2:09:00
  Speaker 7: especially to the people who have experienced any form of
• 2:09:04
  Speaker 7: a midnight release. If you were experiencing this, I'm sure
• 2:09:07
  Speaker 7: this follows up in this time frame, from 2004 to
• 2:09:10
  Speaker 7: To about 2014, that 10 years is looked at as
• 2:09:14
  Speaker 7: the golden age and the peak, the zenith.
• 2:09:16
  Speaker 2: Of midnight releases?
• 2:09:17
  Speaker 7: Of midnight releases. And that wasn't just products being dropped.
• 2:09:21
  Speaker 7: Those were communities being built and friends that were meeting
• 2:09:26
  Speaker 7: up and making new friends because they were in the line.
• 2:09:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 2:09:29
  Speaker 7: And one of our most recent ones was Avengers Endgame. Oh,
• 2:09:35
  Speaker 7: that aired at midnight? That had a midnight release.
• 2:09:37
  Speaker 2: Damn, really?
• 2:09:37
  Speaker 7: A lot of movies do these midnight releases.
• 2:09:40
  Speaker 2: Did not know that, man.
• 2:09:40
  Speaker 7: And think about all the costumes. And at a time,
• 2:09:43
  Speaker 7: I thought, man, that's a lot of effort just to
• 2:09:45
  Speaker 7: watch something. And as I get older and I realize that, wow,
• 2:09:50
  Speaker 7: I took that for granted. I took it for granted
• 2:09:54
  Speaker 7: that a community would create itself and just show up
• 2:09:58
  Speaker 7: to the thing because it's the first time it's being premiered.
• 2:10:01
  Speaker 3: I wonder if any of the BTS stuff was like that.
• 2:10:04
  Speaker 2: I don't think so. Or is it BTS? Yeah, BTS.
• 2:10:07
  Speaker 7: And here's the reason why BTS wouldn't have a midnight release, right?
• 2:10:10
  Speaker 7: They are incredibly popular. Streaming service.
• 2:10:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 2:10:14
  Speaker 7: Number four on this list is looked at as GTA V.
• 2:10:18
  Speaker 17: Yeah.
• 2:10:19
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 2:10:19
  Speaker 7: That's the fourth biggest midnight release. And here's the thing.
• 2:10:23
  Speaker 7: I don't think GTA VI even cares about a midnight
• 2:10:28
  Speaker 7: release next month. Why would they?
• 2:10:30
  Speaker 3: It's a digital release. Like you're saying, there's no jewel case.
• 2:10:33
  Speaker 3: There's no CD. There's nothing to go get. There's nothing
• 2:10:36
  Speaker 3: to hold.
• 2:10:36
  Speaker 7: And there's also no line of people with similar interests going,
• 2:10:41
  Speaker 7: I can't wait.
• 2:10:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're logging on to a room and just waiting there.
• 2:10:44
  Speaker 7: And people aren't leaving their home. They're just staying in,
• 2:10:48
  Speaker 7: and they're watching this little number and this little bar
• 2:10:51
  Speaker 7: go from left to right and then say complete. Compare
• 2:10:55
  Speaker 7: that experience to Debs hearing an entire line cheer as
• 2:10:59
  Speaker 7: someone walks out of the store with a book.
• 2:11:01
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's crazy.
• 2:11:02
  Speaker 7: I think the one of the biggest midnight releases that
• 2:11:05
  Speaker 7: I'm so grateful that I'm alive that I got to
• 2:11:07
  Speaker 7: be alive for. was the Phantom Menace when Star Wars
• 2:11:10
  Speaker 7: came back after essentially, like, what, a 20-year hiatus?
• 2:11:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:11:15
  Speaker 7: And people finding out that they really don't like Jar
• 2:11:18
  Speaker 7: Jar Binks.
• 2:11:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right.
• 2:11:21
  Speaker 7: And then the biggest video game, Midnight Release, and it's
• 2:11:24
  Speaker 7: looked at, and this is really why I brought it up.
• 2:11:27
  Speaker 7: If you were there the night that Halo 3 dropped...
• 2:11:32
  Speaker 7: Just know you were part of a very special golden
• 2:11:36
  Speaker 7: club of people because that was the peak and looked
• 2:11:41
  Speaker 7: at as in the video game world as the biggest
• 2:11:44
  Speaker 7: midnight release. And I'm not going to take any shots
• 2:11:46
  Speaker 7: at people who read books, but that's two different audiences
• 2:11:50
  Speaker 7: and two different smells. If I'm being honest with you,
• 2:11:54
  Speaker 7: showing up to that midnight release, if you were there
• 2:11:57
  Speaker 7: for that halo three release, Just know that's a memory
• 2:12:01
  Speaker 7: you're going to be taking forever. It might be the
• 2:12:04
  Speaker 7: last thing you see as you take your last breath.
• 2:12:07
  Speaker 3: I would also think that maybe the Lord of the Rings,
• 2:12:09
  Speaker 3: like one of those, but maybe they didn't need to
• 2:12:12
  Speaker 3: or something.
• 2:12:12
  Speaker 7: I don't know. They also had midnight releases, but there
• 2:12:15
  Speaker 7: was just something special about that Halo 3.
• 2:12:17
  Speaker 2: It's the trilogy. It was great. It was beloved. It worked.
• 2:12:27
  Speaker 7: It was multiplayer. So you were in line, and then
• 2:12:30
  Speaker 7: you would exchange gamer tags with other people and then
• 2:12:33
  Speaker 7: play with the people you just met in line.
• 2:12:36
  Speaker 3: And so you think now that's kind of dead? You
• 2:12:37
  Speaker 3: don't think there will be another gigantic midnight release? You
• 2:12:40
  Speaker 3: think the idea of that has kind of passed, maybe?
• 2:12:43
  Speaker 3: You've got one golden goose. One golden goose left.
• 2:12:47
  Speaker 7: And it's next month, and that is Zelda's Ocarina of Time.
• 2:12:51
  Speaker 12: Okay.
• 2:12:51
  Speaker 3: And here's the thing.
• 2:12:53
  Speaker 6: I understand all this.
• 2:12:55
  Speaker 7: It's not even– I'll even make the argument against myself.
• 2:12:59
  Speaker 7: It's not– it will never be the same. First and foremost, it's–
• 2:13:04
  Speaker 7: I hate to bring this up as a point of
• 2:13:05
  Speaker 7: an argument, but it's a remake. We've seen this game,
• 2:13:09
  Speaker 7: but now it's getting a facelift. It's got new boobs,
• 2:13:11
  Speaker 7: and everyone's excited about it. So there's one little strike
• 2:13:15
  Speaker 7: against it. Also, all games, even with Nintendo, when you
• 2:13:19
  Speaker 7: buy a physical copy and it comes with a cartridge,
• 2:13:22
  Speaker 7: when you buy that cartridge, you just download the game.
• 2:13:26
  Speaker 7: The cartridge is just coming with basically a digital serial
• 2:13:29
  Speaker 7: number that goes, all right, one download.
• 2:13:33
  Speaker 3: Somebody says that they think that Winds of Winter... will
• 2:13:36
  Speaker 3: be a midnight release. But, I mean, obviously not going
• 2:13:38
  Speaker 3: to have the same impact as what you're talking about.
• 2:13:40
  Speaker 3: Are we talking about Game of Thrones? Because, bro, that
• 2:13:42
  Speaker 3: book ain't coming out. I think he's going to die.
• 2:13:46
  Speaker 3: I think I've got bad news about that.
• 2:13:48
  Speaker 7: So, in conclusion, if you had been a part of
• 2:13:53
  Speaker 7: any midnight release, I didn't know it, and you probably
• 2:13:57
  Speaker 7: didn't know it, but that was actually an enormous sign
• 2:14:01
  Speaker 7: of the times. And now here we are. just waiting
• 2:14:06
  Speaker 7: for things to get to 100% and it says complete.
• 2:14:10
  Speaker 7: And those are your Ross thoughts.
• 2:14:12
  Speaker 2: I'm out.
• 2:14:12
  Speaker 17: Peace.
• 2:14:13
  Speaker 2: Good job. 407-916-1041.

  Speaker 1: Hey, how's it going?
• 2:14:27
  Speaker 26: Oh, just got back from my second trip to the
• 2:14:29
  Speaker 26: beach today. It's churning and grinding.
• 2:14:32
  Speaker 2: Gnarly over there.
• 2:14:33
  Speaker 9: Eroding.
• 2:14:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 2:14:35
  Speaker 26: Talking about the wind-up radio thing, one thing every household
• 2:14:38
  Speaker 26: should have is a weather radio from NOAA with an
• 2:14:45
  Speaker 26: alert feature, and it all typically comes with a 9-volt
• 2:14:49
  Speaker 26: battery backup. That is a must-have. You've got to have
• 2:14:53
  Speaker 26: constant weather alerts.
• 2:14:54
  Speaker 6: Aloha.
• 2:14:55
  Speaker 2: Aloha.
• 2:14:56
  Speaker 4: Hey, guys.
• 2:14:58
  Speaker 2: How about the AI?
• 2:15:01
  Speaker 25: This is why they say that money gets to your
• 2:15:04
  Speaker 25: head and it turns you evil. And these guys just,
• 2:15:08
  Speaker 25: I mean, these guys are just on another level. They're
• 2:15:11
  Speaker 25: on another spiritual and astronomical level of just other side.
• 2:15:16
  Speaker 2: Of humanity, if it's even that. Hello, Jim Colbert Show.
• 2:15:23
  Speaker 2: Great show as always. Thank you, buddy.
• 2:15:25
  Speaker 4: One thing that AI is going to do that will
• 2:15:28
  Speaker 4: help humanity is it's bringing back the trades jobs because
• 2:15:32
  Speaker 4: AI is not.
• 2:15:33
  Speaker 2: Going to be a welder. AI is not going to
• 2:15:34
  Speaker 2: be a builder. 100% on that, buddy. AI is not
• 2:15:37
  Speaker 2: going to be a builder. So all those jobs are
• 2:15:41
  Speaker 2: going to be coming back.
• 2:15:43
  Speaker 7: Now we have to have the people that can train them.
• 2:15:46
  Speaker 22: To have the workforce.
• 2:15:48
  Speaker 1: To be able to run those jobs.
• 2:15:50
  Speaker 2: Yep, they are coming back. They are back.
• 2:15:53
  Speaker 3: You go to work for an AC company or go
• 2:15:55
  Speaker 3: to work as an electrician apprentice or something right now,
• 2:15:57
  Speaker 3: three or four years, you'll be making $ 100, 000, no problem whatsoever.
• 2:16:03
  Speaker 3: Welcome back to the Jim Colbert Show. Credit is your

  Speaker 2: I'm Jim. There's Deb.
• 2:16:13
  Speaker 11: Hello.
• 2:16:13
  Speaker 7: Jack.
• 2:16:13
  Speaker 10: Hi.
• 2:16:14
  Speaker 2: And Sauce Danny. That's true.
• 2:16:16
  Speaker 3: Did you guys hear about the American cruise ship? yes
• 2:16:20
  Speaker 3: like to cruise jack and i like to cruise deb
• 2:16:23
  Speaker 3: is yet a cruising monster but i think if deb
• 2:16:26
  Speaker 3: did a couple cruises she would be in the it
• 2:16:27
  Speaker 3: would be a thing oh i've done one yeah it's
• 2:16:30
  Speaker 3: but i'm telling you man if you started doing it
• 2:16:31
  Speaker 3: because i think it's really soon but we talked about
• 2:16:33
  Speaker 3: this jet blue thing yesterday i told my wife about
• 2:16:35
  Speaker 3: that jet blue story yesterday with the jet blue flights
• 2:16:38
  Speaker 3: back and forth and then the the four-day cruise on
• 2:16:41
  Speaker 3: virgin no kids for like 2300 it was like.
• 2:16:44
  Speaker 2: Yes, please.
• 2:16:45
  Speaker 3: She freaked out. Her guess was $ 6, 000 a person. Yeah,
• 2:16:48
  Speaker 3: I think that's about what I guessed.
• 2:16:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 2:16:50
  Speaker 3: So this is a lot different. So do you guys remember?
• 2:16:54
  Speaker 3: We actually talked about this story. There was a cruise
• 2:16:56
  Speaker 3: ship that was selling. It was the MV Odyssey. It
• 2:16:59
  Speaker 3: set sail two years ago, and we talked about this
• 2:17:01
  Speaker 3: when they did it. You bought a cabin on this cruise,
• 2:17:04
  Speaker 3: and it was your cabin.
• 2:17:06
  Speaker 6: By the way, this company is based out of Florida.
• 2:17:08
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 2:17:09
  Speaker 3: The cabin started at $ 230, 000. So you got your own suite,
• 2:17:14
  Speaker 3: you're on board, and you are now cruising the world, right?
• 2:17:20
  Speaker 3: And it's carrying 203 passengers, mostly Americans, with 156 crew members, right?
• 2:17:27
  Speaker 3: It's got a 650 passenger capacity. And if I remember right,
• 2:17:31
  Speaker 3: the idea of this, the Villa V Residencies, which is
• 2:17:34
  Speaker 3: the Florida-based operator, says that they, if I remember right,
• 2:17:39
  Speaker 3: they had planned on retrofitting small ships like this and
• 2:17:41
  Speaker 3: doing this in a lot of places, like selling these
• 2:17:44
  Speaker 3: cabins as if, hey, just cruise for the rest of
• 2:17:47
  Speaker 3: your life.
• 2:17:47
  Speaker 6: Well, a lot of seniors and retirees, even some young families,
• 2:17:52
  Speaker 6: are finding with the housing crisis, it's easier to be
• 2:17:56
  Speaker 6: on a cruise ship all year than it is to
• 2:17:57
  Speaker 6: try to maintain a home.
• 2:17:59
  Speaker 7: It's a year-round cruise, right?
• 2:18:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
• 2:18:02
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's more than year-round. They've already been at
• 2:18:04
  Speaker 3: sea for two years. I think this particular ship... was
• 2:18:09
  Speaker 3: going to stay on the water for a very long
• 2:18:11
  Speaker 3: time because, again, it's supposed to be you buy this cabin.
• 2:18:14
  Speaker 3: I mean, you live on this boat. But what happened
• 2:18:18
  Speaker 3: was is that the war in Iran started. Then they
• 2:18:23
  Speaker 3: shut down the Straits of Hormuz, and it became very
• 2:18:26
  Speaker 3: difficult to get fuel. Now, of course, we know that
• 2:18:27
  Speaker 3: because diesel is $ 6 a gallon, and I've got to
• 2:18:30
  Speaker 3: fill it up today before I go home, and it's going.
• 2:18:31
  Speaker 2: To be over $ 4 a gallon.
• 2:18:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but they each paid over $ 230, 000. $ 230, 000, right? You
• 2:18:38
  Speaker 6: think that would give them enough money to pay for
• 2:18:41
  Speaker 6: the fuel?
• 2:18:42
  Speaker 3: So when they pull into Cambodia as one of their
• 2:18:44
  Speaker 3: normal stops— And by the way, this is the same
• 2:18:46
  Speaker 3: exact port, if you'll remember, Jack, during COVID. Remember that
• 2:18:50
  Speaker 3: cruise ship that they had COVID on and they kept
• 2:18:52
  Speaker 3: that thing at sea for a while?
• 2:18:53
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 2:18:54
  Speaker 3: When they finally ported, it was at this same port
• 2:18:57
  Speaker 3: in Cambodia. Or this is the one that told them
• 2:19:00
  Speaker 3: no or something like that. But this port is the
• 2:19:01
  Speaker 3: same one. Jack, they put them off the boat into
• 2:19:07
  Speaker 3: the center of Cambodia and said, you are on your own.
• 2:19:10
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 2:19:11
  Speaker 3: We can't afford the fuel for this boat anymore. It
• 2:19:14
  Speaker 3: went from being like $ 1, 600 a person, or how they
• 2:19:18
  Speaker 3: figured that out, I believe it was $ 1, 600 a person,
• 2:19:21
  Speaker 3: to $ 8, 000 a person. It said monthly fuel expenses per
• 2:19:26
  Speaker 3: cabin that historically averaged about $ 1, 800 have reached an estimated
• 2:19:30
  Speaker 3: $ 6, 000 to $ 8, 000 in parts of Asia due to the
• 2:19:34
  Speaker 3: war in Iran. The company said it sought to reduce
• 2:19:38
  Speaker 3: fuel consumption by slowing the itinerary down and spending more
• 2:19:42
  Speaker 3: times in ports, but unfortunately, did not help at all.
• 2:19:45
  Speaker 3: When your cost per person quadruples, that is a massive problem.
• 2:19:50
  Speaker 3: And they basically said that they were going to give
• 2:19:53
  Speaker 3: them a way to get home and give them money
• 2:19:56
  Speaker 3: for rooms when they got into Cambodia because they had
• 2:19:58
  Speaker 3: to get off the boat, I guess, maybe because of
• 2:20:00
  Speaker 3: legal issues. I don't really know. But they didn't do it.
• 2:20:03
  Speaker 3: And there's a guy that's on this boat. He said
• 2:20:05
  Speaker 3: they didn't do any of that. And now we're in Cambodia.
• 2:20:07
  Speaker 2: And we're stranded.
• 2:20:09
  Speaker 7: Uh-oh.
• 2:20:10
  Speaker 2: And they're stranded. Gilligan.
• 2:20:12
  Speaker 3: They had like less than seven hours notice. Yeah, less
• 2:20:16
  Speaker 3: than seven hours notice. They were told to get off
• 2:20:18
  Speaker 3: the boat. They received no support, had to make their
• 2:20:20
  Speaker 3: own arrangements after being given seven hours notice on Tuesday
• 2:20:24
  Speaker 3: to disembark. Some were devastated and expressed a hope a
• 2:20:27
  Speaker 3: new company could rescue the venture so life at sea
• 2:20:29
  Speaker 3: could continue. This retired couple from Wyoming said they bought
• 2:20:32
  Speaker 3: a window cabin and expected to sail for years. They
• 2:20:35
  Speaker 3: boarded the ship 17 months ago in Panama.
• 2:20:38
  Speaker 6: And now they're stuck in the middle of Cambodia with
• 2:20:40
  Speaker 6: no way to get home. No hotel rooms.
• 2:20:43
  Speaker 2: And also, they're not even near a major international airport.
• 2:20:46
  Speaker 2: They're not, yeah. Nope, not even that.
• 2:20:48
  Speaker 6: Man, if this Florida company thought this was the solution
• 2:20:52
  Speaker 6: to their problems.
• 2:20:54
  Speaker 3: And it said that they kept going back to the
• 2:20:55
  Speaker 3: people and asking for money for fuel. It said, we're
• 2:20:57
  Speaker 3: tired of every two to four weeks being asked for
• 2:20:59
  Speaker 3: money for fuel, money for everything. They had high hopes,
• 2:21:02
  Speaker 3: but it just kept sinking further and further into the
• 2:21:05
  Speaker 3: hole through mismanagement. The company could not be reached for
• 2:21:08
  Speaker 3: a comment.
• 2:21:08
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 2:21:10
  Speaker 7: And I don't even really get on board with the whole, like, oh,
• 2:21:13
  Speaker 7: gas prices. I think it was just kind of doomed
• 2:21:15
  Speaker 7: from the get off of that business model of full-time sailors.
• 2:21:20
  Speaker 7: I understand maybe the gasoline prices probably quickened it.
• 2:21:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it's four times times how many ever.
• 2:21:26
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's four times the fuel. I mean, if
• 2:21:28
  Speaker 3: you came to the show and I said, hey, you
• 2:21:29
  Speaker 3: just come to the show, and you're like, yeah, no problem,
• 2:21:31
  Speaker 3: and it costs you $ 3 to get here, then it
• 2:21:32
  Speaker 3: costs you $ 18 to get here.
• 2:21:33
  Speaker 7: I don't think the gas would still make this might
• 2:21:36
  Speaker 7: sound crazy. I've always thought like the employees are the
• 2:21:39
  Speaker 7: biggest cost. Do you think the employees that you said
• 2:21:42
  Speaker 7: two hundred and twelve?
• 2:21:43
  Speaker 3: The employees are definitely going to be cheaper than spending
• 2:21:46
  Speaker 3: that much money on fuel, dude. I mean, cruise employees
• 2:21:48
  Speaker 3: do not make a lot of money to begin with.
• 2:21:50
  Speaker 3: Only the captains and some of the upper level guys
• 2:21:52
  Speaker 3: make cash, but the rest of them do not make
• 2:21:54
  Speaker 3: that much money. And they work on contracts, by the way.
• 2:21:57
  Speaker 2: Company Update says they suspend operations in Cambodia as it
• 2:22:00
  Speaker 2: pursues restructuring and recapitalization.
• 2:22:03
  Speaker 3: There's a woman here named Larson. She said she bought
• 2:22:06
  Speaker 3: her cabin for $ 120, 000 paid in installments in addition to
• 2:22:10
  Speaker 3: monthly maintenance fees under a plan that promised the possibility
• 2:22:13
  Speaker 3: of living on board for up to 15 years.
• 2:22:17
  Speaker 6: And that's where I was going to say maybe that
• 2:22:19
  Speaker 6: was their issue, that they took all the money up
• 2:22:21
  Speaker 6: front and that left them unprepared for the fluctuations in prices.
• 2:22:26
  Speaker 6: You just took that out when you said that they
• 2:22:27
  Speaker 6: had installment payments.
• 2:22:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know what? To make Ross's point, I mean,
• 2:22:31
  Speaker 3: somebody right here says, because it was a startup company,
• 2:22:33
  Speaker 3: I believe that there was a risk. From the very
• 2:22:36
  Speaker 3: first day I said to myself, if this lasts a year,
• 2:22:39
  Speaker 3: I can walk away and I feel like I got
• 2:22:41
  Speaker 3: my money's worth and I still feel that way today.
• 2:22:44
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a wild idea. I'm also really intrigued by
• 2:22:48
  Speaker 7: the people who sign up for this. And I'm not
• 2:22:51
  Speaker 7: saying that they're good or bad people.
• 2:22:52
  Speaker 2: But they've got to be interesting.
• 2:22:54
  Speaker 3: Well, there's one couple from Wyoming. They said they were
• 2:22:56
  Speaker 3: in their 70s. They lived in Wyoming, surrounded by Wyoming
• 2:23:00
  Speaker 3: their entire lives. And the idea of living on the
• 2:23:02
  Speaker 3: high seas, going from port to port to port was very,
• 2:23:06
  Speaker 3: very attractive, especially for that money. Because you figure a
• 2:23:09
  Speaker 3: cruise like this in a nice cabin, if you were
• 2:23:12
  Speaker 3: to just buy a cruise that stayed out for like
• 2:23:14
  Speaker 3: 20 days or whatever.
• 2:23:15
  Speaker 2: It would be awesome.
• 2:23:16
  Speaker 3: Ross, it's like $ 25, 000 to $ 40, 000 a person.
• 2:23:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:23:17
  Speaker 2: And then think about this, too.
• 2:23:18
  Speaker 8: If.
• 2:23:22
  Speaker 7: You live on your cruise ship. Like, that's your home.
• 2:23:26
  Speaker 7: And then there's no place like home. So then, like,
• 2:23:28
  Speaker 7: it's all homey in your cabin. Like, oh, that's my
• 2:23:31
  Speaker 7: cat or whatever. You know, that's where I feed my dog.
• 2:23:35
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 2:23:35
  Speaker 7: I just think it would be really interesting to talk
• 2:23:38
  Speaker 7: to anybody who would sign up their entire life to
• 2:23:41
  Speaker 7: be on water.
• 2:23:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah.
• 2:23:42
  Speaker 2: That is wild.
• 2:23:43
  Speaker 3: But the thing is, I believe that most people. Maybe
• 2:23:45
  Speaker 3: all of us at once.
• 2:23:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:23:47
  Speaker 3: I think most people, when they did this, they, you know, again,
• 2:23:49
  Speaker 3: they're just thinking, I've spent all of my life on land.
• 2:23:52
  Speaker 3: I've spent my entire life looking at Wyoming, driving around Wyoming.
• 2:23:56
  Speaker 3: I'll take a trip occasionally, but the idea of hopping
• 2:23:59
  Speaker 3: on a boat, having everything be self-contained, you don't have
• 2:24:02
  Speaker 3: to worry about anything. Your food's taken care of. Your
• 2:24:05
  Speaker 3: medical's taken care of. At any given moment, you could
• 2:24:08
  Speaker 3: be in a port. If you couldn't get anything on
• 2:24:10
  Speaker 3: the boat, you could get it at the port. I mean,
• 2:24:13
  Speaker 3: you know, it's an attractive offer. And again, if you
• 2:24:15
  Speaker 3: have no kids, nothing really to hold you back from
• 2:24:17
  Speaker 3: doing this, it sounds kind of intriguing to me. Say
• 2:24:21
  Speaker 3: you have kids, but they're adults now, right? Do you
• 2:24:23
  Speaker 3: pull the trigger on this? Yeah, they can visit you
• 2:24:25
  Speaker 3: at ports. People do this all the time. The couple
• 2:24:27
  Speaker 3: I read about that did this first did it on
• 2:24:30
  Speaker 3: another boat out of Europe, and that's exactly what they said.
• 2:24:32
  Speaker 3: People were like, well, what about your kids? They had
• 2:24:33
  Speaker 3: like four kids. And they're like, well, we just tell
• 2:24:35
  Speaker 3: them our itinerary. you know, a couple of months in advance.
• 2:24:38
  Speaker 3: If they want to come out and visit, they just
• 2:24:39
  Speaker 3: fly to that port. When we get in port, we
• 2:24:41
  Speaker 3: spend the weekend together and then we move on. I mean,
• 2:24:43
  Speaker 3: it'd be no different than when we were at home.
• 2:24:44
  Speaker 3: If they visited us at the house, it's a dope life.
• 2:24:46
  Speaker 7: I'm not going to disagree. Like I'm not trying to
• 2:24:49
  Speaker 7: sell it to you. Yeah, no, I like, he wants
• 2:24:51
  Speaker 7: you to go. I don't want to, I don't want
• 2:24:52
  Speaker 7: to come off as someone who's judging the people who
• 2:24:55
  Speaker 7: put themselves on that ship. I just think like they
• 2:24:58
  Speaker 7: have to have somewhat of an adventurous spirit. The fact
• 2:25:01
  Speaker 7: that a Wyoming couple just looked at Wyoming and went,
• 2:25:04
  Speaker 7: I'm dead. Let's exchange planes with water is a wild thought.
• 2:25:11
  Speaker 2: People do this stuff all the time, dude.
• 2:25:12
  Speaker 7: As a matter of fact, they're talking about the story
• 2:25:15
  Speaker 7: right now on Fox 35.
• 2:25:17
  Speaker 3: But people do this all the time. They get tired
• 2:25:18
  Speaker 3: of their surroundings.
• 2:25:19
  Speaker 2: They pick up.
• 2:25:20
  Speaker 3: Maybe they live in New York. Maybe they live there.
• 2:25:22
  Speaker 3: They're like, look, I want to live in the mountains.
• 2:25:23
  Speaker 3: They move to North Carolina, buy a cabin, and live
• 2:25:25
  Speaker 3: their lives next to a creek the rest of their life.
• 2:25:27
  Speaker 3: This happens all the time.
• 2:25:29
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but not cruise ship, though.
• 2:25:32
  Speaker 2: Cruise ship?
• 2:25:33
  Speaker 3: How much does a 25-day cruise generally cost?
• 2:25:38
  Speaker 7: I'll go 25 Gs. That's exactly what it is. Wow.
• 2:25:42
  Speaker 3: That's the high level of a regular cruise. If you
• 2:25:45
  Speaker 3: get on a luxury cruise line, that can be $ 60, 000
• 2:25:47
  Speaker 3: to $ 100, 000. That's just for 25 days. That's just for
• 2:25:49
  Speaker 3: one month. And these guys are on there for, you know,
• 2:25:55
  Speaker 3: so to give you the idea of the value of it,
• 2:25:57
  Speaker 3: you know, there's value there. Now, the cruise ship isn't
• 2:25:59
  Speaker 3: that nice. I saw the ship. It's an older, smaller ship.
• 2:26:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:26:04
  Speaker 3: But again, if you only care about the ports and
• 2:26:06
  Speaker 3: just kind of being at sea and you have yourself
• 2:26:08
  Speaker 3: a wonderful collection of books, who cares?
• 2:26:10
  Speaker 7: I would judge one of those people if they were like,
• 2:26:13
  Speaker 7: I'm a full-time adventurer.
• 2:26:15
  Speaker 2: I'm basically Marco. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 2:26:17
  Speaker 3: This one guy, one lady I saw that did it
• 2:26:19
  Speaker 3: was just an older lady.
• 2:26:20
  Speaker 18: She had.
• 2:26:21
  Speaker 3: You had been married. Your husband passed away. All her
• 2:26:24
  Speaker 3: friends had passed away. She was in her late 70s,
• 2:26:26
  Speaker 3: and she piled on. She goes, this is just where
• 2:26:29
  Speaker 3: I want to go. This is what I want to do.
• 2:26:31
  Speaker 7: God, to be that woman. That sounds awesome.
• 2:26:33
  Speaker 3: Get up every morning, go to the cafe, get some
• 2:26:35
  Speaker 3: coffee and pastries, go sit in the window of the
• 2:26:38
  Speaker 3: cruise ship, look out on the ocean, read a book.
• 2:26:41
  Speaker 3: Go get some dinner, grab a nap, maybe go out
• 2:26:43
  Speaker 3: to the pool for a little bit. All my friends, Dad,
• 2:26:45
  Speaker 3: I'm going to the seas.
• 2:26:47
  Speaker 2: Right, exactly.
• 2:26:47
  Speaker 3: I mean, it wouldn't be the worst thing ever, that's
• 2:26:49
  Speaker 3: for sure. But, man, being put off that boat in
• 2:26:51
  Speaker 3: Cambodia with no idea what's going on, no way to
• 2:26:53
  Speaker 3: speak the language. I guess you have your phone with you.
• 2:26:56
  Speaker 3: That's an absolute godsend because of translator. You could make
• 2:27:00
  Speaker 3: it around the city at least. As long as you
• 2:27:02
  Speaker 3: remember to take your charger off the boat.
• 2:27:04
  Speaker 2: Oh, don't say that, Jack. Don't you dare say it.
• 2:27:07
  Speaker 2: You always leave that behind.
• 2:27:09
  Speaker 9: Always.
• 2:27:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'd do it in a second. I wouldn't
• 2:27:13
  Speaker 3: have any problem with that. No gambling, though, buddy. You
• 2:27:15
  Speaker 3: couldn't have a casino. I couldn't have one of those
• 2:27:18
  Speaker 3: Lifetime Cruise things with a casino in there. That would
• 2:27:20
  Speaker 3: be bad news. I'd be like, seven days in, you
• 2:27:23
  Speaker 3: guys got to go back. We got to go back.
• 2:27:26
  Speaker 2: I got no money. Yeah, no money for fuel. Sorry.
• 2:27:28
  Speaker 3: I need to borrow money to get back to the port.
• 2:27:30
  Speaker 7: I got to go on a cruise with my family
• 2:27:32
  Speaker 7: sooner than later because I still got to get this
• 2:27:34
  Speaker 7: last experience taste out of my mouth.
• 2:27:37
  Speaker 3: Your son, go on Royal Caribbean without question.
• 2:27:40
  Speaker 2: Don't bother.
• 2:27:41
  Speaker 3: Don't even think about another cruise ship. Go on Royal Caribbean.
• 2:27:45
  Speaker 3: Don't go on Disney. It won't be the same.
• 2:27:47
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
• 2:27:49
  Speaker 3: I'm just telling you, dude. I mean, because Disney... Disney
• 2:27:52
  Speaker 3: would be fine. It's a little bit more expensive. You
• 2:27:55
  Speaker 3: can get on the Royal a little bit cheaper, but, man,
• 2:27:58
  Speaker 3: Royals are just built for kids now. I mean, you
• 2:28:00
  Speaker 3: had a three-year-old boy on a Royal ship. You would
• 2:28:03
  Speaker 3: lose your mind. I've never been on a Disney cruise,
• 2:28:06
  Speaker 3: but I have a feeling they're built for kids. Yeah,
• 2:28:09
  Speaker 3: but it's a different kid experience, Jack.
• 2:28:12
  Speaker 2: Have you been on a Disney cruise?
• 2:28:14
  Speaker 3: I've talked to a bunch of people that have, and
• 2:28:15
  Speaker 3: they say it's a different experience altogether.
• 2:28:17
  Speaker 2: You're right. If you don't have a casino.
• 2:28:20
  Speaker 3: Character experiences, if you're into that, really good. You're going
• 2:28:23
  Speaker 3: to get a lot of character experiences. But I haven't
• 2:28:25
  Speaker 3: seen the Disney boat that has the go-kart tracks and
• 2:28:29
  Speaker 3: the flume rides the whole nine yards. It's like they're
• 2:28:32
  Speaker 3: built for that. It's like Nickelodeon on the seat.
• 2:28:36
  Speaker 7: I was hanging out with a bunch of bad people
• 2:28:39
  Speaker 7: when I went on a cruise ship.
• 2:28:41
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah?
• 2:28:41
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I just got out of control, and I was
• 2:28:43
  Speaker 7: kind of broke, so I was.
• 2:28:44
  Speaker 2: Kind of underneath their... you know, guide. I'll play that.
• 2:28:47
  Speaker 7: I was being young, dumb, and things just got out
• 2:28:50
  Speaker 7: of control.
• 2:28:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 2:28:51
  Speaker 7: Let's just say the name of the ship was Carnival Ecstasy,
• 2:28:54
  Speaker 7: and that wasn't the only... Ah, it wasn't just the name? Yeah,
• 2:28:58
  Speaker 7: it wasn't just the name. All right, 407-916-1041. You can

  Speaker 3: Here's something new. This is the last five talkbacks. None
• 2:29:42
  Speaker 3: of them have been previewed.
• 2:29:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, let's do this. JCS crew, bro. What's up, man?
• 2:29:51
  Speaker 8: It's been a while, my brother. Dude, we just did
• 2:29:55
  Speaker 8: our 18th Disney cruise.
• 2:29:59
  Speaker 2: Seven days. It was beautiful. It was for my wife's birthday.
• 2:30:02
  Speaker 2: So it was it was really awesome.
• 2:30:05
  Speaker 8: Dominican Republic San Juan I heard you talk about that
• 2:30:08
  Speaker 8: the other day Porta Plata which is a new destination
• 2:30:10
  Speaker 8: they have fireworks and everything it was awesome but it's
• 2:30:14
  Speaker 8: about the entertainment man the entertainment is next level bro.
• 2:30:19
  Speaker 5: Hey Jim just to let you know I got a
• 2:30:24
  Speaker 5: little getaway plan about 9 years ago I bought a
• 2:30:28
  Speaker 5: house in Montana from a friend of mine who does
• 2:30:32
  Speaker 5: real estate out that way little 2-1, sits on three acres,
• 2:30:37
  Speaker 5: middle of nowhere in a small town. I rent it
• 2:30:40
  Speaker 5: out right now through an agency. They don't know who
• 2:30:44
  Speaker 5: owns it.
• 2:30:46
  Speaker 2: They'll be going to be shocked when they see me.
• 2:30:50
  Speaker 3: Candace Trecker always calls us on the phone that he
• 2:30:53
  Speaker 3: ran over in his truck.
• 2:30:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. Unbelievable, right?
• 2:30:57
  Speaker 9: Tim Jams, my brain just went to you. If you
• 2:31:02
  Speaker 9: live on A cruise ship, would that be an efficient
• 2:31:08
  Speaker 9: way to get out of crime?
• 2:31:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, man. Oh, because you're always in international waters, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 2:31:16
  Speaker 2: What up, guys? Sport from Duval.
• 2:31:18
  Speaker 9: Duval.
• 2:31:19
  Speaker 11: How do they kick these people off that boat after
• 2:31:21
  Speaker 11: paying all that money?
• 2:31:21
  Speaker 2: That is crazy. You ain't getting me.
• 2:31:24
  Speaker 11: Off that boat.
• 2:31:24
  Speaker 6: I'm sorry.
• 2:31:25
  Speaker 12: There's no way in hell I'm getting off the boat
• 2:31:27
  Speaker 12: after paying that much money.
• 2:31:28
  Speaker 22: And if you do somehow get me off, I'm taking some.
• 2:31:31
  Speaker 2: Stuff with me. You can bet that on the way out.
• 2:31:34
  Speaker 5: You'll be looking at the dock going, who's that guy
• 2:31:36
  Speaker 5: pushing the piano?
• 2:31:38
  Speaker 2: That's me. That's my piano now. That's crazy, man. A
• 2:31:41
  Speaker 2: quarter million dollars, you ain't getting me off that boat.
• 2:31:45
  Speaker 2: What up, JCS crew? Years ago, I had a guy
• 2:31:49
  Speaker 2: call me to unlock his car. He locked it running
• 2:31:52
  Speaker 2: at the Walmart in Osceola Parkway.
• 2:31:55
  Speaker 14: Got there.
• 2:31:56
  Speaker 2: I wasn't far away. Found the car. It was running.
• 2:31:58
  Speaker 2: Radio was on. He wouldn't answer the phone. I called
• 2:32:02
  Speaker 2: a few times. Got tired of waiting.
• 2:32:03
  Speaker 14: Left.
• 2:32:04
  Speaker 2: He finally calls me back.
• 2:32:06
  Speaker 3: He was standing in line for the midnight release of
• 2:32:08
  Speaker 3: a PS4 and did not want to lose his place
• 2:32:11
  Speaker 3: in line.
• 2:32:11
  Speaker 9: Oh, wow.
• 2:32:12
  Speaker 2: He had to pay me twice for showing up, but
• 2:32:14
  Speaker 2: he paid. Wow.
• 2:32:16
  Speaker 6: And he got his PS4.
• 2:32:17
  Speaker 3: And our final one frightens me the most because we
• 2:32:19
  Speaker 3: get a transcription of what the talkback is.
• 2:32:22
  Speaker 6: What?
• 2:32:23
  Speaker 2: And this one is in hieroglyphics. You can see it, right? Oh,
• 2:32:25
  Speaker 2: my God. All right, let's go.
• 2:32:27
  Speaker 17: Oh, my.
• 2:32:31
  Speaker 2: God.
• 2:32:49
  Speaker 5: Oh.
• 2:32:50
  Speaker 8: Oh.
• 2:32:51
  Speaker 17: Oh.
• 2:32:53
  Speaker 5: Oh. Oh.
• 2:33:01
  Speaker 2: I think that's Jim at a buffet, right?
• 2:33:03
  Speaker 6: I was going to say that was Jim taking his
• 2:33:04
  Speaker 6: nap before the show, but he's never made those sounds.
• 2:33:07
  Speaker 3: I was always wondering what he was going to say
• 2:33:08
  Speaker 3: at the end, and I was really worried.
• 2:33:11
  Speaker 6: I was waiting for a flip the pancake.
• 2:33:13
  Speaker 3: I'm so indifferent about that. I don't know what to
• 2:33:16
  Speaker 3: think about that at all. I can only assume this
• 2:33:18
  Speaker 3: is what people feel like when they see that You
• 2:33:19
  Speaker 3: Can See Everything movie. They just don't really know what happened.
• 2:33:24
  Speaker 3: It was wild. What even was that?
• 2:33:27
  Speaker 6: Who knows?
• 2:33:29
  Speaker 2: I guess it's all up to interpretation. That's right.
• 2:33:33
  Speaker 3: Welcome back to the Jim Colbert Show. I'm Jim, Deb, Jack,
• 2:33:37
  Speaker 3: and Ross all here as well. Coming up tomorrow, let's see.
• 2:33:39
  Speaker 3: We have Chloe G will be in tomorrow from the
• 2:33:42
  Speaker 3: Orlando Weekend. She'll tell us what's happening in Orlando this weekend.
• 2:33:44
  Speaker 3: We'll also have... Glenn Clausman will be in tomorrow for
• 2:33:48
  Speaker 3: Colbert Court. We also have a brand-new guest. So I've
• 2:33:53
  Speaker 3: been reaching out to this young lady for a couple months,
• 2:33:55
  Speaker 3: and one thing or another would happen. She had something
• 2:33:59
  Speaker 3: happen in her life that kind of set back our timeline,
• 2:34:03
  Speaker 3: so finally we hooked up this past week, and we talked.
• 2:34:06
  Speaker 2: Her name is Ashley.
• 2:34:07
  Speaker 3: She runs an Instagram page called Ghost Story Girl. And
• 2:34:12
  Speaker 3: what she does is she goes around areas and she
• 2:34:15
  Speaker 3: finds out all the lore of these haunted places or whatever.
• 2:34:20
  Speaker 3: She does a little research and then makes content based
• 2:34:22
  Speaker 3: on that. And I thought it was fascinating. I think
• 2:34:25
  Speaker 3: her channel is really fun. She's local. She's done a
• 2:34:28
  Speaker 3: lot of Central Florida stuff, but she's also traveled to
• 2:34:30
  Speaker 3: do this. She's going to join us tomorrow at 5
• 2:34:32
  Speaker 3: o'clock for two segments to talk about not only her channel,
• 2:34:35
  Speaker 3: but to talk about some of the creepy places in
• 2:34:37
  Speaker 3: Orlando and around the area that maybe you can visit
• 2:34:40
  Speaker 3: during the holiday weekend because it's Halloween all weekend long.
• 2:34:43
  Speaker 2: That's right. That's cool. I think it's going to be fun.
• 2:34:45
  Speaker 3: So she'll join us tomorrow as well.
• 2:34:46
  Speaker 2: Plus, we'll have some Ross Knots. Absolutely. Yeah, all that
• 2:34:49
  Speaker 2: fun stuff.
• 2:34:50
  Speaker 7: I don't want to jinx it, but I've been stewing
• 2:34:52
  Speaker 7: on a theater Thursday for Halloween.
• 2:34:55
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God, dude.
• 2:34:56
  Speaker 7: I've thought about it. I'll just give you a hint.
• 2:34:58
  Speaker 7: We're all dead.
• 2:34:59
  Speaker 2: It's okay.
• 2:35:02
  Speaker 7: We might have some voice effects.
• 2:35:03
  Speaker 2: Spoiler alert. Get the echo ready.
• 2:35:05
  Speaker 7: Yeah, get the echo ready.
• 2:35:07
  Speaker 2: Echo, echo. Council.
• 2:35:08
  Speaker 3: All right, Deb, let's do You Heard It Here First.
• 2:35:14
  Speaker 2: It's time for.
• 2:35:15
  Speaker 1: You Heard It Here First on the Jim Colbert Show.
• 2:35:18
  Speaker 6: The crackdown against Florida pedophiles continues with another arrest and
• 2:35:22
  Speaker 6: a lawsuit filed against a company, Rengstorf Consulting Limited, accused
• 2:35:27
  Speaker 6: of launching an AI program that can create child pornography.
• 2:35:32
  Speaker 2: Awesome.
• 2:35:32
  Speaker 6: Osceola County Sheriff Christopher Blackman says 26-year-old Jerry Jesus Reyes
• 2:35:37
  Speaker 6: is the latest arrest, and those charges, they're piling up.
• 2:35:42
  Speaker 21: We started off with 12 charges. It was nine for
• 2:35:45
  Speaker 21: CSAM and three for animal abuse. And then you saw
• 2:35:48
  Speaker 21: the number increase up to 100 charges. So these monsters
• 2:35:51
  Speaker 21: walk around amongst us, right? And it's our job in
• 2:35:54
  Speaker 21: law enforcement to protect our children at all costs.
• 2:35:56
  Speaker 6: Speaking in Orlando today, Attorney General James Uthmeyer.
• 2:35:59
  Speaker 2: Story above.
• 2:36:00
  Speaker 6: Said his office has prosecuted more than 2,200 cases under
• 2:36:04
  Speaker 6: Florida's Child Predator Initiative and Operation Statewide Shield.
• 2:36:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they've been very aggro with that.
• 2:36:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they have.
• 2:36:11
  Speaker 3: Florida Sheriff's support Uthmeyer quite a lot because of that
• 2:36:14
  Speaker 3: very thing. I mean, the initiative, he gives them the
• 2:36:16
  Speaker 3: tools to go out there and get loose, and they've
• 2:36:18
  Speaker 3: been bringing it. The haul this year has been crazy.
• 2:36:20
  Speaker 3: It just seems like every other week there's another banner
• 2:36:23
  Speaker 3: story about another 120 of these psychos. These perverts have
• 2:36:27
  Speaker 3: been caught up in these. And they, you know, again,
• 2:36:29
  Speaker 3: we talk about this all the time. Like, you know,
• 2:36:32
  Speaker 3: the chances are very high and you still can't fight it.
• 2:36:35
  Speaker 3: That's how bad that urges. That's how terrifying that is
• 2:36:37
  Speaker 3: to me.
• 2:36:38
  Speaker 6: Well, also in Osceola County, a deputy is accused of
• 2:36:40
  Speaker 6: actions the sheriff calls completely intolerable. Sheriff Chris Blackman announced
• 2:36:45
  Speaker 6: yesterday Deputy Joseph Belletier was arrested for battery on an
• 2:36:49
  Speaker 6: individual 65 or older and and falsification of official records.
• 2:36:54
  Speaker 3: Oh, so he beat up an old lady and then
• 2:36:56
  Speaker 3: lied about it?
• 2:36:56
  Speaker 6: The alleged victim in this case is a 67-year-old woman.
• 2:37:01
  Speaker 6: Uh, Bella Tierra arrested last month for drunk driving. The
• 2:37:04
  Speaker 6: sheriff's office says he used excessive force.
• 2:37:06
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 2:37:07
  Speaker 6: Uh, Blackman says he's been relieved of duty pending formal
• 2:37:11
  Speaker 6: termination proceedings.
• 2:37:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I take that back. 67 is not an old lady.
• 2:37:15
  Speaker 22: My bad.
• 2:37:15
  Speaker 6: It's not, but I mean, he's certainly not able to
• 2:37:17
  Speaker 6: take a beating the way that, you.
• 2:37:19
  Speaker 3: Know, did you almost say the way you used to
• 2:37:21
  Speaker 3: be able to Yeah.
• 2:37:22
  Speaker 2: Don't you say that.
• 2:37:23
  Speaker 4: How dare you?
• 2:37:24
  Speaker 6: I know.
• 2:37:24
  Speaker 2: You're a feminist.
• 2:37:25
  Speaker 3: You can't say stuff like that.
• 2:37:26
  Speaker 2: What, 6'7? You can't joke.
• 2:37:28
  Speaker 12: No.
• 2:37:29
  Speaker 6: Whatever.
• 2:37:30
  Speaker 13: All right.
• 2:37:30
  Speaker 6: The top three most walkable cities in America can be
• 2:37:33
  Speaker 6: found in? All three in one state. All three in
• 2:37:37
  Speaker 6: one state. And one of us, one of us can
• 2:37:41
  Speaker 6: lay claim.
• 2:37:42
  Speaker 2: Lay claim.
• 2:37:44
  Speaker 7: So Ross and I are both from Florida. So it's
• 2:37:47
  Speaker 7: going to be Jersey. It's got to be Wisconsin.
• 2:37:52
  Speaker 2: No, it is New Jersey. Wow.
• 2:37:55
  Speaker 6: A report by Only In Your State took a look
• 2:37:57
  Speaker 6: at data to come up with a score based on
• 2:37:59
  Speaker 6: possible walkable routes between homes and places like stores, schools,
• 2:38:04
  Speaker 6: and restaurants.
• 2:38:05
  Speaker 3: Is it not the routes out of Jersey?
• 2:38:08
  Speaker 2: Well, we've heard.
• 2:38:08
  Speaker 6: Jack talk before about the tiny neighborhood that he grew
• 2:38:12
  Speaker 6: up in, and the website says.
• 2:38:14
  Speaker 2: Hoboken. Hoboken.
• 2:38:15
  Speaker 6: Hoboken came in at number one. Wow, the number one
• 2:38:19
  Speaker 6: walkable city in America.
• 2:38:21
  Speaker 2: Really? Same county I grew up in.
• 2:38:23
  Speaker 9: Really?
• 2:38:24
  Speaker 2: Is it nice, dude?
• 2:38:25
  Speaker 17: No.
• 2:38:25
  Speaker 2: Okay, very nice.
• 2:38:26
  Speaker 6: Followed by Union City.
• 2:38:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, also a dump.
• 2:38:30
  Speaker 6: And West New York.
• 2:38:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't want to be there. The site says.
• 2:38:34
  Speaker 3: Jack says it's the worst places in the world.
• 2:38:35
  Speaker 2: Why would you want to walk there at all?
• 2:38:37
  Speaker 6: Well, the site says Hoboken packs a dense, tight street grid,
• 2:38:42
  Speaker 6: mixed-use buildings with shops and restaurants on the ground floor
• 2:38:45
  Speaker 6: and path and New Jersey transit rail stops.
• 2:38:48
  Speaker 12: Oh, yeah.
• 2:38:48
  Speaker 6: Within a few blocks of most homes.
• 2:38:50
  Speaker 2: Better for stabbing. It's better.
• 2:38:53
  Speaker 3: They planned out. The cities are planned out well. Like
• 2:38:56
  Speaker 3: you said, it's that everything you have available to you
• 2:39:00
  Speaker 3: and mass transportation is huge.
• 2:39:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and that's where the Northeast, right? The beginnings of
• 2:39:05
  Speaker 6: the country where transit was more about walking and being
• 2:39:09
  Speaker 6: able to take horseback. And you heard it here first
• 2:39:12
  Speaker 6: on the Jim Colbert Show.
