I think, Gunnar, how close are we to having our number ready for people to use? Oh, okay. We checked it. You see, this is where we failed. Oh, okay. We checked it.

You can see this is where we failed. We failed because we didn't start soon enough for the phone number. Is that the story? That's what's going on. They can call and leave a voicemail. How do they leave? How do they call us? The bottom left.

That phone number will work, actually, if they want to leave a message. All right, so yeah, call us, leave us a message, whatever, and we'll try to respond if we're able to. Last week was phenomenal. You guys were awesome. We had several thousand every day tuned into the show, and it got better with each day that went by. Now, we did have one big fail on Friday, and that was the Taze team didn't show up to do their job and inflict pain on me, but don't have fear.

We should get that resolved this week. So that was a little bit of a letdown, but we're going to be okay. We have had another big thing that happened over the weekend that we were able to secure. I talked to the guys over at, um, the loony bin met with them and, uh, starting, uh, here pretty quickly. Uh, it looks like that every Friday, uh, their big comedian that's coming into town to headline

We dropped that. I did. Oh, did you catch it? I loved it. You enjoyed it? I enjoyed it. It was a little bit different. No commercials, nothing like that.

It was a one-on-one interview, in this case with comedian Mike Baldwin. But we'll be doing that now with the comedian every Saturday and putting that out for the after-school special. It may sometimes be a singer or an actor or any number of things. We are out to a lot of folks to come in and be guests on the show, some big bands and things that are coming up that we're working behind the scenes so we're very excited about that all right all right well let's let's uh get on to some news and stuff that maybe you want to hear about okay so we like our coffee dark and bitter doesn't mean we're not a

ray of sunshine that's right we're a ray of sunshine that's and the people. That's right. We are a ray of sunshine. That's exactly right. So let's talk about birthdays who outran the Grim Reaper. Mike McMillan, he's 46 from What I Like About You and True Blood. Andrew Scott from Saving Private Ryan and Fleabag is 48. Martial arts star Ken Watanabe is 65. You might know him from Batman Begins or Inception. Who else here?

Booker T and the MGs guitarist Steve Cropper is 83. And Jade Jagger, celebrity daughter of Mick Jagger, is 53. Wow. Mick Jagger, is 53. Wow. Mick Jagger has a 53-year-old daughter. The highest paid person ever on television, Judge Judy Scheinman, is 82. Wow. She makes $47 million a year to be Judge Judy. What?

Yeah, her net worth is almost $480 million. Whoa. That's a lot of money that's a damn lot of money salt people yeah and to do it well i might add i do that for free daily yeah well i i wish i was making her money instead i my bag huh he's like where's my bag at yeah now that's that's good money if you can get it right there isn't it all? All right, let's take a look here at what's going on and what you need to be in the know about today. Hey, this is good news. Hold on one second. Let me get this done here. Okay, a man who was scheduled for execution last Thursday is now going to testify before a Texas House committee today. Robert Roberson was convicted of killing

his two-year-old daughter in 2002. He was going to be the first person executed for death resulting from now debunked shaken baby syndrome. His lawyers claimed the baby wasn't shaken, instead died from undiagnosed pneumonia. After attempts to stop his execution were shut down, a group of Texas lawmakers subpoenaed him to testify about his case. And, uh, it's kind of a back and forth that went all the way to the state Supreme

court. Now lawmakers are probing why the junk science bill passed a decade ago, wasn't applied to his case. So apparently this baby, uh, what I at least read yesterday was had been to the, uh, hospital 36 times before this happened.

So it had a lot of health issues already. So I'm not sure how this guy ever got convicted. But hopefully not only will it stop the death penalty, but, I mean, if we debunked it, shouldn't we be letting his ass out of jail? I think so. Maybe cut him a big check, say sorry for being dicks like that. I don't know. Let's see.

The founder of a suicide awareness campaign is criticizing Delta Airlines after a veteran was asked to take off a T-shirt with their tagline. Marine Corps vet Catherine Banks was wearing a shirt that said, do not give in to the war within. End veteran suicide. That's what it said. do not give in to the war within. End veteran suicide. That's what it said. She boarded a Delta flight this week. She was escorted off the plane by a flight attendant, a guy who said her shirt was threatening, and told her to either remove it or leave the flight.

You're kidding me. I am not kidding you. That needs to be part of your rant. Right? The creator of the Till Valhalla project, Corey Schaefer, said, To hear someone was mistreated for wearing our gear that helps pay for the memorials delivered to families of fallen heroes and therapy for veterans is appalling. And I agree with that. How dumb do you have to be to see a shirt that says,

Do not give in to the war within, end in veteran suicide and feel like that's threatening somehow yeah i mean how did you even get hired i mean i can't imagine you could fill out an application let's see that's messed up yeah a revival of um and oh nobody cares about that broadway no, we're not doing that. Police in Texas scratching their heads after a large safe was found on the side of the road. The Bexar County Sheriff's Office found the locked safe in the San Antonio area. Witnesses said an older guy in a newer Silverado was the one who dumped it. The contents are still a mystery. Man, that'd be interesting.

Who do you call to get that safe open the big safe the locksmith who does that i know some people yeah you know some people i know some people that said i know some people i know some people in my middle okay okay i hear you dog i hear you on that all right uh georgia authorities said yesterday they're still investigating the collapse of a dock gangway that collapsed and killed seven people at Sapello Island. Around 40 people were standing on it, dumping at least 20 of them in the water. annual cultural day event that spotlighted the community of hog hummock, which was founded after the civil war by former slaves from the plantation of Thomas Spalding. Yeah. That's,

that's a bad event right there. Yeah. I mean, man, you just stand on the bridge and it goes out. That's a nightmare. It seems like you can't even leave the house these days without something happening.

Yeah. It's a big world. A lot of people out there. There's a lot of stuff these days without something happening. Yeah, it's a big world. A lot of people out there. There's a lot of stuff going on, without a doubt. The remains of two U.S. Navy jet crew members who died when their aircraft crashed near Mount Rainier were recovered yesterday. The plane was just on a routine training flight out of the Naval Air Station Whidbey Island in northwest Washington. The cause of the crash is under investigation. Whidbey Island in northwest Washington.

The cause of the crash is under investigation. Officials said the two crew members wouldn't be identified until at least 24 hours for families to be notified. Three House Foods is recalling dozens of store-brand frozen waffles. Put your breakfast down. Put it down. Step away. These were sold at Walmart, Target, Publix, Food Lion, a lot more over concerns of listeria contamination.

They issued it voluntarily, said the routine testing. One of its facilities identified potential contamination. Now, no one has been sick from it thus far. They're asking anyone who purchased it to return the product, and it is included in the lengthy list on their website. Throw them out, and you can get a credit for them. An investigation underway into classified documents released on a Telegram channel Thursday that contain details and assessment of Israel's plan to attack Iran. House Speaker Mike Johnson said on the State of the Union there's an investigation. When asked for comment, the White House directed questions to the Department of Justice,

who declined to comment. The person who posted the documents to the Middle East Spectator channel originally said they were from an informed source within the U.S. intelligence community, but not known if it's a leak or a hack. Yeah, that's a bad sign. When you've got internal documents about our intel getting released like that? Yeah. Not good.

No, it's not good. And you may look, even if you're on the side of whoever released it, if it was the other way, you'd be pissed off. Right. It's not a good idea when you're leaking documents in the document or documents in the government. To whistleblower, just don't want to release to Congress, I think. Yeah, well, maybe you're right.

Yeah. Yeah. Okay, it's been a rough weekend for Cuba. After the national power grid fell in the country twice in 24 hours, Hurricane Oscar made landfall late yesterday near Guantanamo. Cuban media said swells over six feet high were hitting the coast. Walls had been damaged. The system

expected to make a turn northeast and approach the Bahamas tomorrow. Man, the Bahamas seem to catch everything, but still stand. Yeah, they catch hail. Yeah, I guess it doesn't take much to put a kind of a bamboo shack back up, which is what most everything in the Bahamas is, really. I mean, if you've been there, it's either concrete or it's like that, you know, bamboo and whatnot. Someone now owns an extremely limited edition of an American collectible, a rare copy of the United States Constitution, printed in 1787. After the Constitutional Convention finished drafting the proposed framework,

sold at auction for $9 million Thursday. It was in North Carolina. Now, if you don't know, the Secretary of Congress printed only 100 copies at that time. Charles Thompson, with just eight known still to exist, wait, with just eight known still to exist, wait, with just eight known still to exist? Well, that doesn't even make sense. At the same auction, a watermark first draft of the Articles of Confederation from 1776 sold for a million. The last time a copy of the Constitution was sold went for $400 in 1891.

Wow. That's a lot of money. That's a big come up. That's a lot of money, though. In 1891, $400. You were very, very rich. You were rich. Yeah, you were Scrooge, for sure.

All right. Here's some good news. Wanda Dench, a.k.a. Thanksgiving Grandma, is set to celebrate Thanksgiving with Jamal Hinton for the ninth time, continuing a tradition that began in 2016 with an accidental text. Over the years, they've been there for each other and their unlikely friendship proves to be powerful on the internet. Despite facing a recent cancer diagnosis, she's committed to hosting this year's gathering. He'll once again be joining her family. So, you know, back in 2016, she had inadvertently thought she was texting a friend

texted a random guy about thanksgiving they started talking well she invited him anyway and now they've been doing it for nine years awesome story man that is pretty cool story isn't it yeah we need something like that every day right it's always good to hear isn't it uh in deadpool and wolver, the title characters face formidable opponents and came out triumphant at the domestic box office. There's a similar story with the Ryan Reynolds Hugh Jackman film taking on U.S. box office behemoth Barbie and taking her down. Over the weekend, Deadpool and Wolverine surpassed Barbie

to take possession of the 12th place on the list of all-time top grossing films in the domestic box office. It finished over the weekend with a total of $636.3 million. That's just domestically. That's not worldwide where it's, you know, probably, you know, $2 billion or more. It's that good, though. Yes, very good. Yeah, I mean, very few movies, to be honest with you, ever live up to the hype.

Deadpool and Wolverine did live up to the hype. Have you saw it? Oh, yeah. Yeah, no, I saw it. It was awesome. We went, I think the day it came out, we went to the theater to see it. We don't go to the theater to see many movies,

but we did for that one mainly because my wife likes Ryan Reynolds. So we were allowed to go. Let's get to some sports here. Let's talk about some NCAA football. Over the weekend, only three top 25 teams lost, but they were all playing other teams in the top 25, so it had to happen. Most notable, the Texas Longhorns falling to the number five Georgia Bulldogs in decisive fashion, 30-15. Number seven Alabama dropped against 11 Tennessee, 24-17.

And number 22 Illinois took down number 24 Michigan, 21-7. So once the dust settled, the new AP came out, Oregon Ducks made the top. So once the dust settled, the new AP came out. Oregon Ducks made the top. So Oregon Ducks, Georgia, Penn State, Ohio State, and Texas now in that top five. The WNBA champion was crowned. The final game of the championship between the Minnesota Lynx and the New York Liberty lived up to the billing. The first half controlled by Minnesota.

New York scrapped back into it. Brianna Stewart drained a couple free throws with five seconds to send it into overtime. A low scoring overtime period saw nine total points scored, seven of which went to the Liberty, giving New York a 67-62 win in their first WNBA title. Now, in less positive news, reports came out over the weekend saying the WNBA would lose $40 million this season, making it the 26th consecutive year the WNBA has failed to turn a profit. 60% of the WNBA, and when you add the personal stakes from the owners and the teams in the league, that percentage goes to 75%. The investment is hundreds of millions. Now some NBA owners are getting antsy as to what they might see as a return on their investment.

Look, you need about 20 more Kaitlin Clarks and Angel Reeses to make the WNBA even interesting. I'm telling you, man. I mean, I almost watched a game this year. I thought about it. I thought about watching a game this year because of all the intensity around Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese. But I tried for about 10 minutes, and I was like, man, this sucks, man. It's really boring.

I'll be honest with you. Is it? Yeah. I've never watched one. You've never watched one? No, I've never watched a female running basket. It's getting better, but I just like the big dunk and stuff. They're still not dunking and stuff.

I'm a big dunk guy. Hold on one second. Look up there. Do you see that up there on the right? See that green, how that bar goes into that right there? When you're up there getting into the yellow, then they can hear you. Yeah. So watch that if you're wondering if you can be heard.

Sorry, that's a little inside baseball here, just showing these guys how to look at the mics and whatnot. Yeah, ultimately, the WNBA is still trash. And, you know, you can whine about why they're not paid more. Well, you just heard why. 26 years with no profit. A loss for 26 years. Why are they not paid more? Can't afford

to pay them anymore. Geez, I mean, I don't know. It was a rough night in Austin, Texas on Saturday from the jump, but the Longhorns fans didn't help. The number one ranked football program in the country lost to Georgia in their own building. But some may argue it was an act by fans that was the most disappointing of the night. Just under three minutes to go, Texas did intercept a pass.

It was called back due to questionable pass interference. Longhorn fans voiced their displeasure by throwing dozens, hundreds maybe, of beer cans, water bottles, other debris onto the field. Head coach Steve Sarkeesian not happy with the Longhorn faithful and asked them not to do it, but they didn't give a damn. They just kept loading the field up with that. They got the call overturned, though, so I mean. Did they?

Yeah. Well, I guess maybe they intimidated them, and maybe that, so I mean. Did they? Yeah. Well, that's, I guess that, maybe they intimidated him and maybe that worked. I don't know. Clean up the beer cans. All the cheerleaders, like everybody. Oh, you know, the janitorial people do that. Yeah, it was a mess, man. Facing a true backyard scenario in their 10th inning with two outs on the board, the Yankees right fielder Juan Soto was clutch for the pinstripes. He knocked a three-home run to send the Yankees to their 41st World Series of all time. First time the Yankees have advanced to the Fall Classic in 15 years.

It's been a minute. 15 years, man. 15 years, yeah. Now, is Shohei Otani, is he with the Yankees? No, he's with the Dodgers. The Dodgers. Okay. And are they going to play each other now? It's either going to be a subway series or run or what? Subway series or LA show out. Tommy, didn't he set all kinds of new records of his own? He's like bombs it out every time he gets up. I didn't have like a 50 like 50 or 70 homers and steals or something like that?

I forget the number, but yeah, something like 50 and 50 or 70. Like 50 and 50. It was the first time it's ever been done. It's never been done before. He's insane. Yeah, he's some kind of machine, man. They're already talking about him maybe being the GOAT, the greatest baseball player of all time.

Man, I can't argue with him, man. I mean, it'll take a few more years, but... But if he keeps on this track... At this pace, yeah, I'd say he definitely is. Things may be looking up for the Jets. Hard to believe, but okay. Two weeks ago, they fired Robert Sella. A week later, they lost at home to Buffalo,

but it didn't take long to reunite Aaron Rodgers with Devontae Adams. The morning after that loss, they picked up the wide out. Now it appears that months of nasty back and forth are all but forgotten history. According to ESPN, Hassan Reddick and the Jets have agreed on an adjusted contract. They said the sides did not agree to a long-term deal, but he will report to the team on Monday. He'll miss Sunday's game against the Steelers. The Jets acquired the pass rusher in March, but after they failed to agree on a new contract,

he sat out and wouldn't play. So the former agency no longer representing him, but anyway, it looks like that he's going to join them back, and maybe that'll help. I don't know. Aaron Rodgers looked decent, but he still doesn't look like Aaron Rodgers to me. I'm not sure if he came back too soon or not.

Judges out, I guess. Former NFL quarterback Jake Cutler arrested in Franklin, Tennessee Thursday. Why? Driving under the influence and gun possession. Cutler involved in a car accident. He rear-ended somebody. Tried to pay the driver two grand to not call the cops. You're going to have to come up with more than that, Jay.

You got NFL money, right? When officers arrived, they noticed the smell of alcohol. He was slurring. Bloodshot eyes. Refused sobriety test. Had a loaded handgun in the car yeah he was booked and released on 5 000 bond uh aside from being a famous quarterback he was married to actress kristin cavallari for about a decade but they finalized their divorce in 2022

they had some reality show where with their life i never watched it i i don't know i wouldn't recognize jay cutler in a lineup honestly it's a good reason not to be cheap yeah a little bit more money he could probably be yeah he could have offered five grand easy and something good could have happened for him all right let's do something different here how about it you wake up and you feel like crap you know who else wakes up and feels like crap yeah here comes a shameless plug that's right baby that's right hey uh let me mention here fits auto if you're looking for a late model low mileage vehicle look no further than fits auto uh they have great vehicles they have great prices they are fair and guess what i know you've had

I think they do take a weed eater, a stereo. I've seen them take all kinds of stuff. So look, try it out. Maybe it'll work for you. You can go to fitsauto.com. You can apply right there online if you want to and uh i mean it's very simple very easy they're good folks and they'll take good care of you there okay so let's get into a couple of interesting stories here that might be of interest to you and let's start with this one because i think it impacts everyone living the american dream allegedly is getting more out of reach for

many Americans. New research reveals the price of achieving it has shot up more than a million dollars over what it cost a year ago. And now it stands at 4.4 million. That's one million more than what most people earn in their entire lifetime. So what do you get for $4.4 million? Well, the estimated total cost for regular milestones in life, including a wedding, raising two kids, paying for college, buying cars and a house. Last year, the cost was still high at $3.4 million, but in the past 12 months, it's skyrocketed. still high at 3.4 million, but in the past 12 months, it's skyrocketed. Investopedia chief editor Caleb Silver said, prices continue to increase for things people reasonably consider as part of the American dream. So here's how that breaks down. New cars, buying eight new cars cars over 45 years comes to $811,000 weddings. The average American spends about $44,000

to stage a wedding today. $44,000 50% in, in divorce. Are you, is that a good gamble? We need a 50, 50 loss right off the top. What are you doing? Put that money in the bank. Jesus save money for the divorce. Uh, the cost of raising two kids over 18 years estimated to be $832,000. That includes sending both of them to a four year college. So think about that.

You got two of them, $832,000 to get them out of college, all the way from born to out of college. Sound like some people owe us a night, Patrick. If you don't get on the mic, Chad, I swear to God, I'm going to punch you right in the face. I've got it right here on my face. Right here, like this. See how that works like that?

There you go. Here, I'm going to mic you up just a little bit more look at me right here monday morning there you go i'm gonna move you up move you up a little bit thank you there how about that all right um to buy and finance a home in 2024 a family is looking up to 929 000 wait a minute to buy a home. And where are you buying a home in 2024 for $929,000? Maybe in California. I mean, if you're buying that house here, I I'd like to shake your hand. You rich as hell. Congratulations. You know, good for you. I, I think the average, uh, actual home price across the country, the median 400 000 now which is still shocking to think about the median home price being 400 000 i mean that's it's still up there that's a damn lot of money it is when i was growing up i think the house is about 40 grand yeah yeah for a good one

though yeah like a really really good one yeah my mother-in-law, they spent $50 on theirs. And now it wasn't a big house, but it's still a three-bedroom house. Mine that I grew up in, I think, was like $20,000. $20,000. Man, you're going to be like that guy. I remember when milk was $2 a gallon. Let's see, cats and dogs set you back $36,000. What are you feeding them?

Wow. What are you feeding them? $36,000. Man are you feeding them? Wow. What are you feeding them? $36,000. And dog food is expensive. It must be. Okay. Annual vacations, taking a trip once a year over all the years, $179,000. Funerals, no one wants to think about it, but $8,400.

Retirement, what's the American dream without retiring? Estimated to cost a whopping 1.6 million dollars to retire 1.6 mil to sit down now you know why everybody's working so long don't you 80s yeah uh add it all up you're looking at a grand total of $4.4 million to live the American dream. That's a lot of dough, isn't it? That's a lot of dough. Do you feel like the shift is so dramatic that it can't recover, or do you think it can recover?

I don't think it can recover. No. I think it's going to keep going. What do you think, Adam? I think it's going to get worse. I do, too. You think it's going to get worse? No matter who's elected, do you think it's going to get worse? I do you think, Adam? I think it's going to get worse. I do too. You think it's going to get worse? No matter who's elected,

do you think it's going to get worse? The ball's started rolling. It's not going to go backwards. No? You don't think so? No. We're too overcrowded. We're too overcrowded. Well, you know what I saw yesterday? They were making the argument that we needed more immigrants because we're not having enough kids in the United States anymore that our birth rate's dropping. I think I heard Bill Clinton say that. Was that who said it? Yes. Look, while I appreciate what he's saying, push the button. Well, I appreciate what he's saying. My question is,

didn't we want it in the population? Wasn't that the goal to reduce the carbon footprint? I thought it was. Isn't that what we're supposed to be doing, eliminating the carbon footprint? I guess we did too good of a job. Yeah, that was then. Oh, that was then. No, we don't want to do that anymore now. They switched it up.

That's a little surprising to me to hear him say that out loud, that no, no, we need more people to make more babies. No, we really don't. have we adopted every baby we have because if we haven't how about we start there matter of fact we should just do a moratorium on any babies until every baby's adopted then you can start having babies again that's what i think that's probably crazy isn't it sounds a little communist doesn't it my bad My bad. Just a little. Just a little bit, huh? All right. Let's move on to something else that might be of interest to you.

This is very, very interesting. And if you like science, this is something else. So we talk a lot about AI, different things things like that but a little different thing colossal biosciences that's a company known for genetically engineering things um they have uh made an announcement that they've made major steps towards the de-extinction of the Tasmanian tiger. Uh-oh. That's right. It was a carnivorous marsupial declared extinct way back in 1936. They reported they've now reconstructed the genome at 99.9%. And they expect that in the coming months, it'll be 100%. And they will be able to bring this animal from extinction

back to life jurassic park that's what i was thinking jurassic park yeah now is it a good idea have you ever heard one of the things like it like it really makes the the tasmanian tiger it almost sounds like it sounds wild no it is wild it sounds like a regular cat chad i'm gonna get you to work on your impersonations here i'm sorry i'm not a tasmanian devil that's great that's great now this is uh you know i know they had been working on the woolly mammoth but i mean i want to see that that would be a woolly mammoth that'd be pretty impressive man yeah we're one step away from the t-rex that's what i'm saying velociraptors some because look if the regular guys you know the science guys are out here trying to bring back you know the tasmanian tiger or the woolly mammoth

that's fine but you got to think about the crazies yeah you know the ones in north korea the ones over in china man the ones over in iran they're like yes we bring back velociraptor no no no bring it back over there not here that's what i'm going to say don't don't bring it back here uh but they said that in 2022 it would attempt to de-extinct this animal uh and that of course refers to creating a new version of it and breeding it. So, you know, that's a lot of playing God there, isn't it? Playing God. Every movie I've seen that ends bad.

Right. It normally does end badly, doesn't it? It does. Like you're going to put something in them because you have to substitute something in the DNA. And it normally ends up being something that you didn't think about that makes them unkillable or, you know, they're going to breed with something else and, you know, take over the planet and destroy it.

So, yeah, it's alright. Okay. One more thing here. This is a very kind of a creepy cure thing. Are you, anyone here arachnophobic? Are you arachnophobic, Ronnie? No. Spiders bug you? I love spiders. I eat them. No, I have a shitload of spiders around my house.

Yeah. I live in the woods. Yeah. Yeah. I really don't like too many spiders. Now, the granddaddy longlegs, I like them. Yeah. They're okay. Yeah. But the little black spiders and the wolf spiders that try to get in my house you don't dig them i don't dig it how about you chad are you scared of spiders at all i don't i want to like jump at you and stuff like that i hadn't had any jump at me well it's you know they leave me alone i leave them alone yeah yeah we cohabitate pretty easily now uh tell me this if you were let's say you're walking somewhere maybe it's at dusk or dawn or whatever you know it's not quite light but you walk into a spider

web oh do you freak out a little bit yeah yeah everybody for like 20 minutes you think that spider is somewhere on you. He didn't know if it was home when he ran into it. Yeah, I didn't ring the bell, so I'm not sure. I just drove through his house like that. All right. So it says, Our ailing hearts might someday owe a debt of gratitude to a venomous spider.

Scientists in Australia are beginning a clinical trial for a heart attack medication derived from the venom of the Kegari funnel web spider there are now several classes of drugs that prevent or treat heart issues, cardiovascular disease, still one of the leading causes of death, so these researchers

think they've landed on something amazing here because apparently the bite of this spider somehow, the venom prevents heart damage and stops heart attacks. Now, I do know there's a Brazilian spider that if you get bit by it can kill you, but it also will give you a raging boner. You got to run and use it real quick. Now they use it in boner pills, the actual venom from the spider.

Really? Yeah. Yeah, so you know that had to be a really weird experience for someone to discover that. Yeah. You've been bitten by a spider, you're dying, and then you're like, man, but I got raging wood, man. This is the best ever all right let's take a look at some of the comments that uh maybe we're getting this morning uh let's see uh

darren uh riggan said good morning guys what's up man morning darren hello hello and greenwald brandon griffin good morning aaron lyman good morning uh carrie just said dog titty. Okay, Carrie. Good morning, Patrick Beam. Killing it, bro. Killing it. Thank you, Crystal. Brandon Godwin said good morning. Says you need to do a congrats party at Sticky Fingers for doing your own show.

The last one was so much fun. I'm ready to do it. Where's Laura Beam? Is she going to be on the show? Crystal, you missed her. She came in, what was it? Wednesday of last week? Wednesday of last week, and she was a hoot. She was a riot. Of course, yes, she'll definitely be back, and

she'll be on from time to time. Kristen, that's your wife, your better half, your much more attractive half. Hello, baby. I'll never be able to retire. That's right. That's right. And Tina said good morning. Curtis said good morning so we must be nobody's going hey your sounds terrible audio

issues are playing you like everybody everybody did say that I just didn't read it to you Chad and Chad is man completely incompetent. No, I'm kidding. I didn't say anything like that whatsoever. Let's change it up. These shows here just keep getting better and better. Now, exactly how much pot did you smoke? And the people. All right. Listen, I want to talk to you for a minute about Titan Roofing.

You can go to titanroofingcompany.com. If you are in need of a roof for your home, you want to choose Titan for a couple of different reasons. A, Jeremy and Josh, who own it, are friends of mine. They're local. They're good people. I've worked with them myself for many years, but here are a couple of reasons that I think you'd choose them over someone else. Number one, they have a 10-year warranty. It's transferable. That is huge if you're selling a house. All right. If you're selling your house and you've got roof warranty left, that's a big hit. But the biggest thing is that they do all the work with the insurance

company for you and they specialize. Let's say your claim was turned down last time. They specialize in getting these claims approved. They're very good at what they do. You can go to TitanRoofingCompany.com. Go to TitanRoofingCompany.com. Check them out. You'll be glad that you did. They're very good folks, and they can help you. A roof leak ain't nothing to play with. Don't play with that. All right. Okay. So let's see what we've got here to talk about. A couple things that I wanted to get to here with some unique and interesting questions to get everybody involved

and talking about. So, Ronnie, you don't have to lay everything out. What's your favorite conspiracy theory? Man, there's so many. There's so many for Ron. Especially nowadays, man. There's so many.

Hard to pick. You know, I mean. What's the one you spend most time reading about, thinking about, talking about, arguing about, whatever? Man, I don't want to. You don't want to go down that rabbit hole? I really don't want to go down that rabbit hole. I'm pretty beeping you already. All right, all right. I don't want to go down there I really don't Beeping you already All right, all right, I don't want to go down. We'll pick a different one then Ronnie

Big still alive What's your what's your favorite conspiracy theory Chad what's what's on your conspiracy theory? Right now, like all the UFO talk, man. Like, it's always been, like, really cool. Like, all this footage that they have now is, like, insane. Yeah, you are hearing a lot more about UFOs. You're seeing more videos now. I want to see actual ETs, though. Like, we've seen the flying stuff.

Like, I want to see some aliens. Well, see, that's the thing is i as many things as we're seeing i'm still not convinced it's not just another country's drone no yeah and i think that in the back of my head i'm like it's probably just some stuff we haven't brought out yet yeah you know defense contracting they do a lot of cool stuff over there and bombers some of our stealth bombers and stuff look like some ufo straight up ufo yeah no they do they certainly do uh all right what about you adam what's your big conspiracy theory right now uh pizza gate pizza gates that's a crazy one i i thought that was wasn't that debunked that

that was not the alex uh jones thing pizza gate where they were at the pizza place and underneath they were yeah i don't know if it was debunked depends on who you ask depends on who you ask well the believer okay okay all right fair enough fair enough um i i think uh my favorite uh conspiracy theory of the moment is that joe biden was replaced about a year ago with another guy. Cloned? Yeah. Have you seen that? I don't know if it was a clone or not a clone,

but I was reading an article and they were going, look at the difference in the pictures. And I'm like. Look at the ears. Look how tall he is in this one and look how tall he is in this one. I'm like, really? This is what you think? Even if he was replaced, did it help? I think he just had a good night's sleep, and he came in looking fresh.

No, he went and had surgery, man. They tried to young him up a little bit. They did a little eye lift, a couple of things, and he looked a little different. Look at half the old actors in Hollywood now who don't resemble what they once did because of all the surgeries they've had. Sometimes it changes how you look. They go a little crazy with it sometimes. They go a little crazy with it sometimes. They go a lot crazy with it sometimes, to be honest with you.

Some of them are unrecognizable. Like, they do so much, they don't even look like the same person. Yeah, no, they absolutely don't look like the same person. That's a hard job. You wake up every day looking different. That's a hard job. It ruins some people's careers. Yeah.

It's a hard job. Yeah, believe it or not, what's her name? Jennifer Gray. She was in people's careers. Yeah. Believe it or not. What's her name? Jennifer Gray. She was in a dirty dancing. Yeah. Right. Right. She had a nose job and it ruined her career.

She said it did. I was like, wow, that's crazy that a nose job, but I guess because she wasn't recognizable the way she was, I guess her nose was. I don't know, but I think that's an interesting thing. Who's the worst... Who's had the worst plastic surgery? Who looks the craziest? Lil' Kim looked pretty bad. Lil' Kim, yeah.

Before and after. Mickey Rourke. Mickey Rourke probably is the winner, man. That dude was a straight-up sex symbol in the 80s and 90s man yeah he was hooking up with lisa bonet in a movie you know uh what was that called angel heart and all the ladies loved him and i don't know what happened he went to some i he must have went to another country like botswana or latvia or somewhere where it was like a deal. He said, yeah, do me up, do me up.

I wouldn't get one free. Right. No, he went to the wrong place to get it done, I'll tell you that. He was trying to save his career. I saw a little bit on that. Did you? Yeah, he was trying to save his career, and the surgeries just got out of hand.

Yeah. And I think it started when he did The Wrestler. That was a good movie. That was a great movie, you know, but you start seeing the transformation there. Yeah. It just really got bad over the years, man. I still hear a little bit of it.

Yeah, no, I hear it too. Shut up. Don't point that out. Yeah, no, Mickey Rourke was amazing in Sin City. Yeah, I love that. What was his name, Marv? Yes, awesome movie. That's a nice coach you got out. Yeah, no. Mickey Rourke was amazing in Sin City. Yeah. I love that. What was his name? Marv? Yes.

Awesome movie. That's a nice coach you got there. Yeah. Yeah. I still think that's probably one of the more underrated movies of all time. It was awesome. That movie had, to me, it's on par with Pulp Fiction. Yeah.

I watched it the other day. What is this? What about? No, he looks just the same. I watched it the other day. What is this? What about? No, he looks just the same. He's a clone, man. Tom Brady looks just the same as he always. No. Tom Brady definitely has had a lot of plastic surgery, but Gunner, the difference is his

surgeon's amazing. That was an improvement, right? No, he looks like he was chiseled out of stone, bro. Who would you rather have, him or Aaron Rodgers? Come on. Don't even act like it wouldn't be Tom Brady. Yeah, it's Tom Brady. He'll look the same when he's 80.

He'll look just like he does now, I promise you. He's got a lot of money. A lot. Hell yeah, he's got a lot of money. Money too. Yeah, no, he's got a damn lot of money, man. He's got the best of everything. There's nothing that dude has that you even know what it is. Yeah, no, he's, he's got a damn lot of money, man. He's, he's got the best of everything. There's nothing that dude has that you even know what it is. Yeah. That dude's eating stuff. You

don't know what it is. He's living in things you don't understand. You know, he's owned stuff that you've never heard of in your life. You know, he's probably got people that work for him that just, you know, people that just keep his toilet paper stocked. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, that's a whole different world right there. Now, you like sports. How do you feel his commentating is going? Do you like him as a sports commentator?

I like him better than Romo. You do? Yeah, yeah. I like Tony Romo, but I like how they can tell you what's going to happen before the play happens. Like, they'll sit there and break all the plays down and stuff. Tony Romo has been much more popular and probably made more money as a commentator than a quarterback, although he did very well.

But, yeah, Tom Brady definitely – I like him better, too. But Tom – Tony Romo is super popular. Yeah, he was good at it. It's just – He's still commentating, isn't he? I think so. I'm sure he is. Now, isn't Chris Collinsworth retiring?

I think this is his last year, and I like him a lot. He's a real good one. Nobody on that? Nobody on that. These contracts are so high for some of these people. They're kicking out some of the OGs because the new people's contracts are so high well yeah because they got stupid for a long time and you know covid kind of messed some things up in many different ways for example lots of shows programs things like that that during covid just absolutely went nuts because people didn't have anything to

do right so they invested all this money in it, and then COVID ended, and people said, yeah, I don't care anymore. And they ended up holding the bag like that. There's a lot of that that's gone on out there with that. People are still not really, I don't know that we'll ever really recover from COVID in a manner of speaking. I mean, a lot of people really, I think. It affected a lot of people. You know, I mean, a lot of people really, I think. It affected a lot of people.

It really got people messed up. I mean, it really got in people's heads. A lot of people have more trouble going out, hanging out in public now. Definitely. Going to stores, doing all kinds of things. Going to concerts. Yeah. I mean, I hear it all the time.

Yeah. I miss, yeah. That was one of the things that really sucked, man, was not being able to go out and go to concerts. Yeah. It did suck, but I didn't know how bad until after. Because, you know, I broadcast from home for a year, and I commuted about 15 feet to my desk, which was amazing.

Oh, it was awesome. It was awesome. I did not want to go back yeah i had to go back uh but when i did i was shocked to find that it took me man i don't know maybe six months to even be comfortable in public again yeah the shock it was so weird just being around people like that seeing people around you know wondering about stuff, you know, wondering about stuff then, you know, and then you had the maskers and the anti-maskers where, you know, they were hamming it up

going crazy. Like gang signs. Yeah, and I'm a rebel. You know, I didn't like the mask and, you know, towards the end I was like, yeah, I'm not I'm not playing the game anymore. Have you been injured?

Fun. Yeah, we did it a a couple weeks back as a matter of fact the weekend before the show uh launched we moved back to benton yeah and um and it was me how do you like it back out there oh i'm so happy you like saline county huh oh i love saline county man yeah yeah come for the math stay for for the people. There you go. That's a joke, damn it, that's a joke. No, I do. You know, I graduated there.

I know everybody there. Everybody knows me there. It's just, you know, it's old school down comfort, to be honest with you. It is. It's different when it's your town and everybody knows you. You know, the feel is different. I mean, it's just different because they already know me. They don't me any different you know what i mean it's just it's just me yeah it's just home that's all it is as a matter of fact most of the people i graduated with half of them don't even know i'm

on a show do anything to do with this you're like what have you been doing all these years you know i just hang it out yeah that's all and i'm doing some real estate here and there Just hang it out. Just hang it out, yeah. That's all. And then doing some real estate here and there. By the way, are you in need of real estate? Because I can help you with that.

Helped a couple with a great deal over the weekend. It was not the $500 deal, although I did do that recently, helped a couple get into a home for $500. But this couple, I did, they get a VA loan, and I got the seller to pay all their closing costs for them nice uh so therefore uh they paid for their inspection and that was it that's awesome actually they got in for about four hundred dollars so you can do it you can do it all you got to do is reach out to me if you you hear that what What the hell was that? Anybody hear that? I heard it. Anybody hear that? Wow. I don't know what that was. It came up in here or something.

That was very loud. That was very loud, man. I don't know. Maybe they didn't hear it in the mic. I wonder if that was outside or something. So speaking of realty, what do you think about this 25 000 loan given out the first time home buyer i'm not familiar tell me about this 25 000 loan i don't know what that is push the button it's a kamala harris type deal oh is it oh oh oh oh

i didn't know you were trying to sneak that in there. Snuck it in. You did sneak it in. Look, I'm all for helping, but there are lots of programs out there to help. You have to do it smart. And I know that people don't like hearing that because everybody wants to buy a house, right? Yeah. But you have to do it smart because if you don't, you have another bubble burst like we had. Yeah. Because if you don't, you have another bubble burst like we had. That's what caused the housing market collapse to begin with

is they started issuing credit to people who historically didn't pay bills. And they lived up to their history and didn't pay for their houses. And they all went belly up and it busted the housing market. That's what happens because, yes, it'd be great to just have your slate wipe clean and start over. But the fact of the matter is if, if you hadn't changed your behavior, it's not going to change anything. It's just like, if you met, you know, if you magically were skinny and you ate the same, you're going to get fat again. It's what's going to happen. You know,

until you learn to manage your bills, you're not going to be able to pay for a house. You know, it's just life, you know? So I, I'm a fan of doing it. If you're, if, if, if it's good, you know, now I do think there are things to do with credit that are, that screw people over things, stay too long on there. They don't get it cleaned up. It's hard to get done sometimes, but look, they make it easier than ever. I mean, you got Credit Karma, you got, I mean, they'll, for example, Credit Karma, you download it. It'll tell you how to correct everything. It'll let you dispute it right there on the app. It's a free app. You can see your scores. It'll give you suggestions on how to improve your scores. It will tell you what credit card you qualify for right now and say, here, apply for this.

There's a 78% chance you get approved for it. And that's all free. And, I mean, if the information's out there free and you can't get your life together, then what? I mean, and I'm no different than you. Trust me, you. As you know, the information's out there free for how to get skinny. I'm still fat. Okay?

We're all guilty of it in some way or another, right? But you can't just because you feel bad for people doesn't mean you just give them a house. You know, I mean, it's got to be built. Somebody's got to pay for it. Look at the policy real good. It's for minorities and brown people. What now? What now what?

The policy is targeting. Oh. You got to read a little deep into it. I don't want to bring your name back up. I don't want to push the button. But that's really what it's for. Okay, to help with minorities for homebodies. Yeah.

Okay, okay. That's really what it is. Well, and I understand, and I'm not going to put any skin in that game because it's not going to impact me as far as me buying a home or not buying a home, but I don't know the facts on that, Ronnie. I'm not educated on it to say if I agree or don't agree, but in general, I don't agree with free money because free money is what put us in inflation the way we are now.

What we are now. Yeah, I mean, that's exactly what we are now. Yeah. Yeah. So, look, I don't understand the new mentality that, oh, just keep writing checks. We're good. We're good. You know, there's some new theory that you can just wipe out all the debt and it doesn't matter because we make the money

but that that theory doesn't hold true unless you just want to go back to the barter system yeah you know and that's fine i'll go back to the barter system but do you want to have to barter for clothes and gas you want to talk about taking advantage of people yeah i'd love to give you some gas if you um you know i got a tank I want to be part of too. You know what I'm saying? That's it. That's how that barter system ends. I mean, I'm just telling you that's the way of the world. Am I wrong? You're right, man. You're right. No, no. So you have to be smart about anything like that, but there are so many, that's what people don't understand about home buying is look given

a year you can improve almost anything unless you just filed a bankruptcy and you can still buy a house but you can't you really can but you can improve almost anything within a year uh and there's so many grants like the city of little Rock, for example, offers $8,000 grants, uh, grant. You don't have to pay it back towards down payment, closing costs, things like that for certain zip codes. You know what I mean? So there's already a ton of programs. There's a rural development loan. You hear it sometimes referred to as an RD loan. That's for areas in the county where they want to stimulate, um, more housing housing so what do they do no down payment on those just like the va no down payment you know uh so but you also have to

remember you know no down payments and no closing costs all that means what higher payment that's right yeah you never get something for nothing right Yeah. And here's the other thing people will, you know, it's a lot cheaper to own than rent. Maybe, maybe, but don't think that you're going to get a house for a thousand dollars a month. Uh, that that's going to be two, three, $400,000 house. You're not, no, it don't work like that. I mean, it's not going to be that way that you figure on 150,000, you figure, I mean, look, just go with 100 times, so $1,500 a month, $150,000 house. That's an easy math. Now, it could be less than that, but that'll keep you safe out there

when you're thinking about it. It's not a gimme. You're not going to get maybe $100,000. You can get a $700,000, $800,000 payment a month, but you're not going to get, you know, maybe a hundred thousand, you can get a seven, $800 payment a month, you know, but you're not going to get a lot of house for a hundred grand. It's going to be a fixer upper, as they say, you know, you're not going to get a rehab version of it. Uh, but, but yeah, so just get on track, you know, get with somebody who can help you get on track, find a mortgage company, a lender, a banker, a realtor, and let someone get you on track to get a house if that's what you want to do. But you'd be amazed at what you can do with just a little bit of good credit.

Now, if you need to know 580 or better, that's the number where they start looking at helping people get a home. Yeah, you need to be at a 580 or better. If you're there, you got a shot at it. Now, every number you're up, you're better. I talked to a guy who had the highest credit score I've ever seen in my life yesterday, an 890. An 890. I didn't even know that was possible. I was like, dude, have you ever been late your whole life? I mean, I don't even know what that's like.

That's like, you know, my score would go into that twice almost. I don't think that's a good thing my score go into that twice almost all right let's talk about this some Massachusetts parents areing a school district after a student got a D or it was given a D because he used AI on his social studies homework project. He's been accused of cheating and they said it wasn't cheating because there's no rule in the handbook against AI. Her and his father are the plaintiffs in this lawsuit. mom and dad said yeah he used ai to do it but there was no rule against it so why did he get a d uh the lawsuit alleges their son will suffer irreparable harm that's imminent over the grade that his parents say kept him out of the national honor society which is now threatening uh his ability to be in a top tier college so

do you feel like he's wrong the parents are wrong or is the school wrong in this case i mean where do you come down on that chad that's a tough one you say that's a tough one it is it is ronnie what do you think using tools available right using tools available so is that any different that well yeah because it does work for you it writes for you it creates for you right it does but i mean they had to put something together to make it do that do they not like they can't just i don't think it takes much it don't take much no it takes about a one question one sentence prompt maybe a couple sentences tops to uh get it to do a lot of stuff for you. Here's the problem I have with this one.

And I do understand the technicality. It's not a rule. And probably they'll purvey in the lawsuit because it's not a rule. Right. So they're not going to be able to hold him. The real problem I have here is with the parents. Because what they're not doing is promoting their kid to learn something right yeah you're fighting for your kid who took a

shortcut to do the work maybe a clever shortcut but it's a shortcut you know it's a shortcut i know it's a shortcut he probably didn't learn a damn thing other than how to type a prompt in ai and now you're you're fighting for him to be lazy and not do what school is supposed to do, which is educate someone so they can get out in the real world and maybe have a decent conversation or know anything at all. You know, so I feel like that that's a very bad move on their part in my mind. I can't fight for my kid to shortcut themselves.

Making it so easy. Now I did get into it with Holly. This was many years ago. And I don't know if they still do it. Common Core. But Common Core was something they changed to a few years ago and it changed the way mathematics was done. And I straight got into an argument with the teacher. And I'm not that guy. I am not the guy to just randomly debate with people over anything. I'm not a Karen or a Kyle. I don't show up and go off on people. It's not what I do. You know, I only rant once a week and

that's right here. Uh, but, but I did, I, cause he got the right answer. She marked it off because he didn't show the work. And I'm like, he did show the work right here. And she goes, yeah, but you can't carry numbers anymore. What? I said,

why can you not carry the number? She goes, well, because you're not showing the work to, they don't understand why it works. I said, it works. What difference does it make?

Are you, did the answer come out the same? Yes. Then that makes sense. We carrying the same? Yes. Then that makes sense. I mean, carrying the ones worked forever. It did for me. I don't need to understand everything, but I do need to understand that formula worked for me. Now they have to take five other steps that are much more difficult to do it.

My teacher used to tell me that. You've taken the long way around. I got the answer, right? Yeah. Well, you got the answer right, but why did you do it. My teacher used to tell me that you're taking the long way around. I got the answer, right? Yeah. Yeah. Well, you got the answer,

right? But why'd you do it that way? Cause that's the way I know how to do it. Yeah. That's what worked. Yeah. Well, it also,

you know, what happened is it prevented parents from helping kids with homework. Yeah. And now all of a sudden you kind of freeze the parent out from being able to help. Yeah. Which I'm not sure wasn't part of the plan anyway i mean they're slowly they've been steadily getting rid of homework you know i know that was another issue that i had uh the last couple years my kids were in school they'd come home no homework no homework and i'm like where's your homework i

don't have any and i was like that's bullshit yeah you are junior in high school you should be toting six books a day home doing more homework than you want to and pissed off about it because you can't see your friends you can't smoke a hog leg you can't jam the zeppelin run up and down the road whatever it is you want to do that was our generation oh yeah that's right that was our general either way you couldn't you know what i'm saying uh so it is a big difference now, isn't it? It is. My seven-year-old, he carries a backpack that a college student should be carrying, actually. Yeah?

He has a lot of books. And he comes home, and there is no homework. It's all on Chromebook now. Yes. It's all on Chromebook. Yes. It's all on chromebook now yeah they carry chromebook yes it's all on a chromebook okay so why they carry all these extra things i have no idea okay yeah he's a little guy carrying

a big backpack yeah uh yeah i i why they're carrying all the books but not doing the homework why is he carrying the books then? I don't know. I really don't know. Maybe you should ask that. Hey, here's a good exercise. Is that what it is? He's just trying to get his biceps up? Yeah, no.

Man, I remember when I was in school, I had, and I wasn't supposed to, but I had three different lockers. They issued me one. I took two other ones. It's a big campus, man. I was always late for class. So I had two manufactured lockers that i made up and took over you know and that way that i had my books distributed where i could

run and get to them in time i had like friends i'd be like i'm gonna borrow your locker oh you shared lockers sometimes yeah yeah did you ever forget your combination all the time oh my god i would i'd be so mad i'd have to end up going to class without a book because I didn't remember. I had it wrote down on the side of my backpack. I'd always see it in the morning, how bad I was. No, I knew my combination. You did? Yeah, I knew it.

Yeah, well, you're a pretty smart guy, though. Let's see what comments we got from folks out here. See what they're sending in. Okay, so maybe a shortcut shortcut but he did the assignment crystal you are right he did do the assignment he which is more than some kids do uh said i feel like as long as the kids are doing the work just give them the credit at least they're doing it um yes and no you know it's like the difference in paint by number and painting a picture you know if everybody paints by number you never have difference in paint by number and painting a picture. You know, if everybody

paints by number, you never have a Picasso. You just have a bunch of people that paint by number. You know, they'll look like Thomas Kincaid, painter of light. I'm sorry, did I say that? Crystal said the scream was legendary. Yeah, no, it's crazy.

Jay Sordsby. What's up, Jay? Good morning, J.R. Seifert. What's up with you? Good morning, Curtis. How are you? And Tina and Eddie. Good morning to everybody.

Good morning. All right. Let's do something different now. What do we say? These shows here just keep getting better and better. Now, exactly how much pot did you smoke? Patrick. And the people. I got to test that real quick. Hold on. Alright, talk, Chad. Hello, hello, hello.

You trying to find the static? No, I know where it is. I'm just making sure I'm right. Okay, Ronnie, hold on. Hello, hello. There it is. I've got a racist XLR cable. There it is. I've got a racist XLR cable. W just said, check your cable. Yeah, no, it's definitely that cable.

There's no doubt about it. I figured that out yesterday, but I thought I'd beaten it. I was wrong. You know, I did not. Yeah, we'll get some better ones. Let's talk about this. I saw this, and I thought this is definitely going to be something that i'm going to take exception with and i like things like that and i think everybody here probably will take exception to it bonnie you're breathing too hard

all right uh it says it doesn't now this comes from a prep service, but it's called how masculinity will evolve over the next quarter century. Are you ready to evolve your masculinity, Chad? I guess so. I hope you are. How about yourself, Adam? Every time. Yes. It doesn't matter if you like it or not. Time marches on. Attitudes change. That's true. if you like it or not, time marches on, attitudes change, that's true. Some of what was considered masculine 50 years ago might not have flown 25 years later and into today. So we're going to look back at trends over the past 25 years, shows the following things are just some of

what's different than a quarter century ago. So it says men are falling behind women in academics and the economic playing field is being leveled. The beauty and self-care industries are more focused on men today. That's very true. We did used to just have a few products and life was very simple. Now the aisle is way over clogged with shampoos, deodorizers. It's too many choices. I don't want that many choices. I don't need that many. You know, I need like give me three deodorants to pick from, three shampoos, and let me be out.

It's my Irish spring. Yeah, yeah. Okay. All right. Modern men have a lot more expected of them when it comes to fatherhood. That's definitely true because I do remember, look, let's be honest, the 60s, 70s, 50s times like that, you know, if parents broke up, dad split, mom kept the kids, and maybe you'd see dad every other weekend if he wasn't with his new family.

Right. You know what I mean? If he hadn't left the old family behind and say, yeah, good luck on that. See you and the kids down the road. Restart. Yeah. So a lot has changed, but one of the things that it also has changed is custody. You see a lot more dads who don't want to be every other weekend dads,

such as yourself, myself. Same here. Yeah. Same with Adam. Yeah. A lot of dads are like, yeah yeah i'm not doing part-time no you know uh yeah i'm not doing that 23 years ago i took custody both my kids yeah and you did a hell of a job on them i might admit they're both good kids man how old are your kids now

uh my daughter's 23 and my son's 14 yeah i've got two more. I've got an 11-year-old and a 7-year-old. Wow. Okay. You've got a handful, don't you? All right. All right. So the importance of men's health care is being highlighted more than ever before. Yeah.

I mean, that's true. Guys are still notoriously bad about not going to the doctor. Yeah. Yeah. I just heard a guy uh someone's wife talking about her husband and he was like yeah she's got he's got this cancer this cancer this cancer and i'm like three of them did he ever go to the doctor and she said no he didn't he didn't like that going to the doctor and i'm like yeah sometimes maybe it's a good idea to go yeah you know it's a good idea i mean i i i know for a fact uh someone very close to me a female uh had a colonoscopy and had a

cyst or not a what do they call the growth um you well you know what i'm talking about in there and it was not cancerous it was benign but it is the kind that leads to cancer it is the cancer causing one and so they told her you need to come back every year for a little bit and let us keep an eye polyps that's what they're called yes yeah polyp uh and so you know that look you got to be smart about that kind of stuff man you got to go to the doctor once in a while just to make sure you don't have cancer well yeah i hate the c word i know well you can't avoid it by hiding you know what i mean actually we can stop doing some of the things we do sugar yeah main thing foods we eat sugar sugar why are you talking about sugar like that i love love it, but I know what it causes.

It causes me to feel happy. It causes me to feel very satiated. Well, it does. What's your problem, man? Big sugar hurts you? Where'd it touch you? Show me on the doll where sugar touched you. I have a little bit of sugar and a little bit of coffee with my sugar every morning. And I hate it.

I hate having that much sugar, but I need it. Yeah, you know, it is really bad, to be honest. We all know that. I mean, look, that's what makes us fat, right? Sugar and bread. Those are two things. If we eliminated sugar and bread, everybody would be skinny, but we'd all be miserable. Yeah.

Just angry. Just angry as hell. skinny, but we'd all be miserable. Yeah. Yeah. Just angry. Just angry as hell. Yeah. No, I'd be angry. It says men are more open to exploring and discussing their sexuality. Well, geez, I think who isn't open to discussing and exploring their sexuality anymore? They're doing it in kindergarten, for God's sake.

They're doing it everywhere. Hell, it's not even inappropriate at work anymore you know you can just talk about whatever you want these days doesn't matter uh says uh the introduction and prevalence of the d-pic no that's a big no i'm not doing any d-pics i'll tell you something weird to me uh and and i know it's just things look they change but sometimes i have i i can't wrap my head around things but i was watching a very famous and and who someone i would consider historically pretty masculine he's an athlete wearing a pearl pearls he had like three strands of pearls on his neck. Yeah, I've seen that. And apparently my son said this is a big trend amongst men,

especially young men, is wearing pearls. That's old ladies. It's just too soft. It's too feminine looking for me. Make it like Lisa Simpson. But look, I mean, there was a point where if guys wore pink, they'd be mocked. And I wear pink all the time. I like wearing pink. Same here.

Yeah. I mean, I love it. Now, I'm still not back to wearing those flowy Jim Morrison Shakespeare-y shirts. Blouses. Yeah, the blouses that they wore. But, you know, the other uh that you see more is guys wearing what appear to be skirts and i don't mean kilts yeah you know now and purses but yes i've seen the purses too yeah and purse yeah let me just say this and i i respect everyone's right to wear

whatever they want you won't see me wearing a dress unless it's to be stupid yeah i'm not wearing a dress i'm not gonna wear pearls and I'm not wearing a dress. I'm not going to wear pearls. And I'm damn sure not carrying any kind of purse, murse, man bag. The only man bag I got carries two things in it now. And you can't get in. There's no zipper on it. You know what I'm saying? That's right.

It's got my yams in it if you get my drip. You know what I mean? So it says, then what will things be like 25 years from now? And it says, the aspects of masculinity that have become viewed as toxic will continue to be shed

with the old school tough guy attitude becoming horrifying, barbaric, outdated, and cringe. Okay, let's talk about that. So if the old tough guy attitude becomes horrifying, barbaric, outdated, and cringe. Okay, let's talk about that. So if the old tough guy attitude becomes horrifying, barbaric, outdated, and cringe, who's protecting you?

Nobody. Nobody will have to protect anybody because we'll all be soft and sweet, right? Yeah. That's what they want. We need more John Wayne's back. Yeah. I don't know. I don't subscribe to this new theory of men giving up masculinity.

Well, they call it now toxic. Toxic. Well, not all of it's toxic, okay? You know, not all of it's toxic. Some of it, sure, anything can be toxic. You can be a toxic guy, toxic girl. Trust me, you. I've met many toxic ladies. You know what I mean?

I mean, crazy as hell, just like guys. Do what? You're trying to leave? Oh, Brandon's got control. Okay. Good. I was just making sure. I was going to have to show you some masculinity. I didn't want to do that. No, I think that, you know, there is a place for masculinity,

and I think a lot of women still gravitate to masculinity. You know, I don't know. Maybe they're looking for more effeminate guys these days, but I think not. I think that I've read that that's a big problem in the dating pool, is that girls can't find guys who are masculine anymore. I mean, I'm sorry, but look, I mean, it's cool if you don't want to be. If you want to carry a man bag and wear pearls and a skirt, I think, hey, you can still whoop my ass maybe, you know.

Not if I pull that skirt off, though. Oh! New shows here just keep getting better and better. Now, exactly how much pot did you smoke? Patrick. And the people. Yeah, yeah, I'm running behind a little bit today, but let's do this right here. little bit today, but let's do this right here.

This is the segment not like the other. People do stupid shit. You say, oh brother. Hey, it's not a copy or a clone of any previous bit. But if you think so, hey, we don't give a

shit. Yeah. Whackadoo been the new man that is the greatest thing i ever heard in my life i love that guy needs a grammy man yeah thank you thank you you know what you're absolutely right that is grammy worthy isn't it yes i i agree with you all right uh so let's take a look at what we got going on here hey okay this woman pretty funny story here uh a cape coral florida woman being accused of using a kid to steal a barista machine and a vacuum from her local target a 33 yearyear-old Liz Novak was caught by the loss prevention staff of the store. She entered Target with a kid under the age of 10.

On video, loss prevention said they saw her load up the cart with items, including the coffee machine and the vacuum, then turn it over to the kid so they could walk it out of the store, pushing it. over to the kid so they could walk it out of the store, pushing it. Shortly thereafter, she walked outside, caught up with the kid. Now, over $1,000, now facing one count of grand larceny. Look, I was a shoplifter at one point when I was young, about 18 to 20. I thought I was the Ocean's Eleven of shoplifters, okaylifters. Okay. Oh yeah, no, I was good. I was good until I wasn't right. Oh yeah. You get arrested. Oh yeah. I got in trouble too.

Yeah. Yeah. So, uh, I used to, especially, uh, I think movies, DVDs, that man, I used to get those a lot, but the, the biggest but the biggest shoplifting accomplishment of my era was at a Target store. And I had been there many times and had come to understand the placement of cameras. And so I got a TV, I put it in my cart. I had a receipt from Target the day before I went over to the stationary aisle, got a stapler, stapled the receipt to the TV box, rolled it up to the door and stood there for a minute. And then someone asked me if I needed help out.

And I said, I got it. Boom, was gone, baby. Threw that in the TV. The person driving the car hauled ass and we were gone. Yeah, not proud of it. But, well, kind of. But it worked. Fast forward to a couple months later, and Mr. Big Time here,

Mr. Sticky Fingers, Mr. Five Finger Discount, was in Sears at the mall, the old university mall, back when that was around. You probably don't remember that, but it was High Park Plaza. They were competing malls for a minute. But I went in there, and they had a lot of stuff. And I was wanting some clothes, you know. And they caught me because I walked back into the mall. They surrounded me all of a sudden.

And they were like, we need to check your bag. Because what happened on the way out, I got a little greedy. And I tipped some Bugle Boy socks in the bag. Because I was like, like oh those are fresh I want those those look good man uh so then they take me or they bring me back into this room right and they're like we're gonna have to check you to see if you got anything else and I said well let me just tell you I do I got a pair of pants on under these pants and another shirt folded up under this and yeah I had about two outfits under there, and man, boy, yeah. So I had to go to court, and actually they didn't arrest me then.

They wrote me a ticket. I thought I was going to jail then, but I went to court, and I didn't have the money to pay the fine, so they made me go work. I had to work, I think, eight days to pay off my fine for the city i worked for the city picking up trash no no i opted out of that they asked me if i want to do that or make drug awareness coloring books there you go is there an irony the fact that was stoned like a mofo up in there making those coloring books too like the kids are gonna like these yeah um a new study shows that people are staying home more these days and gen z might be the homebody generation 10 of americans are

choosing to spend more time at home than they did over a decade ago the trend appears to show hitting up dive bars and clubs not nearly as preferable as living room gatherings, dinner parties, backyard parties. When it comes to the Gen Z crowd, it seems the bars are a source of social anxiety, forcing them to navigate with new people, and they'd rather just deal with the people they know at their own place. That sounds like most of us, doesn't it? Right.

That's me. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I don't, I've never been a club person. I just, you know, every once in a while I'll go with the friends or whatever, but you can't hear each other normally in the club very well. It's hard.

I mean, you might dance with a chick, but you're not really going to have good conversation there. Maybe you can get a hookup, go next door to the motel or whatever. But beyond that, I mean, I never found a clubup go next door to the motel or whatever but beyond that i mean i never found a club is a great place to meet somebody that atmosphere makes you spend too much money oh wait oh yeah it does i mean you're and that's the other thing you gotta just pulling out money yeah especially if you're trying to pick up a girl oh yeah you're gonna buy an innumerable amount of drinks you're gonna floss to floss. You're going to be like, oh, yeah. Stuff like that.

Stupid roses they come by with. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Jell-O shots. Jell-O shots, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's Valentine's Day. You want a Jell-O shot in the shape of a heart for your girl, right? And a panty rose, yeah. I sure do.

I need two. Yeah. A funeral home in Poland has apologized for quite a blunder. Hades Funeral Service. Hold on. What? Is that a good name? Hades Funeral Service?

Hades? That's great. Unfortunate name, but they had an unexpected technical failure of the lock on their hearse, which caused a corpse to fall out of the back and into traffic. on their hearse, which caused a corpse to fall out of the back and into traffic. Their apology caused an unfortunate event, and they profusely apologized. A man was left terrified, thinking he hit someone, after seeing a body in the road and a sheet on his car window.

Of course, the body was not injured, because it was already dead. Can you imagine? That dude thought he just ran over somebody, man. Oh, my God. That would be horrible, wouldn't it? Damn, that'd be a little PTSD right there, man. That heart pumping. In Minnesota, the ACLU has taken up a bong water case. Jessica Beske is facing decades in prison,

potential million-dollar fine, because police found bong water in her possession. What? Yeah, the involvement of the ACLU speaks to the question raised about uneven law enforcement of the state's drug laws. Reports say Beske was pulled over in May. A police search of the car revealed drug paraphernalia, meth residue, and a glass bong containing eight ounces of water. Because of a loophole in the law, the county attorney was able to treat the bong water as if it were eight ounces of pure meth. What? Warranting a first-degree drug charge carrying up to 30 years in prison.

For water? For bong water. Meth water. Well, meth water would be a little different well but it's not it's not there's no it's just the water yeah that it traveled through when you smoked it i mean uh that's terrible that's that's a racket no that's a racket and and whoever those officers are whoever is in charge of that should be just fired right now. Just fire them today. Because that's not what it's about.

You're a jerk if you're doing that. Look, I get it. You don't want them to drive and do meth. Nobody does, right? But you can't just manufacture stupid things to charge them with and rake them over the coals, take all the money they got. It's a never-ending story then. They'll never be able to dig out of that. That's nothing but a trap, and that's sorry to do, and you know it's sorry to do.

Catch them the right way. You know, plant it on them like normal people. That's wrong. In Japan, a convenience store robber made the job of police easy by an employee where he'd be hanging out after the heist. Cops arrested 47-year-old Minoru Higashino for threatening the store employee with a box knife and stealing 12 items worth 18 bucks as he was leaving the store with his stolen goods. He told the female employee on duty to call the cops and tell them he went to Washizuka Park. The cops then went to the park where they found him and arrested him. What the hell is his problem?

Oh. Yeah, our criminal, we need a better class. I mean, that's an embarrassing criminal right there. That's not even. Do better. Yeah, I mean, you're going to get your ass beat and other things in jail. It's not good for you to go there. No.

All right, let's see. Okay, Evan Woodward arrested Thursday after a traffic stop where he bizarrely held a python while refusing to cooperate with the police. Pulled over for driving without headlights. Woodward claimed he didn't need a license and could drive off at will despite being told he was under arrest. You know, I'm not under arrest

and I can drive off whenever I want. I don't believe you yet. Let me know how that works. Okay, yeah, let's watch this reality play out. He tried to flee, still clutching the snake, but was apprehended without harm to the reptile inside his car officers found guess what guess what it was meth meth guess what they found 92 grams of fentanyl oh man marijuana and five grand in money

no math yeah disappointing huh just 92 grams of fentanyl which probably would kill a stadium of people yeah it would that stuff's crazy man i don't understand anybody that wants to touch something that will kill you what'd they do with the snake are you needing a snake no i asked that uh years ago yeah my roommate took my python to river fest he took your path on the river yeah he took my python the river was it was it a soft python no not that python oh i'm sorry'm sorry, man. I didn't. And he was held up by the cops and was arrested with my snake. They let him go and brought my snake home, but they were going to kill my snake.

Yeah. No shit. This really happened. Mike Morgan, if you're listening, you remember that day. Uh-oh. You're still mad about it. How long did the snake, you got it back? It was okay?

Yeah. I got my snake back. So how long did you have a python? Until I bought a motorcycle. Can't own one and the other? I got to have one and the other. They don't go together. My snake, actually, I wouldn't feed it for like three or four months after I bought the motorcycle. Oh, hell.

I mean, I just neglected it. I mean, I was on a motorcycle. So you couldn't feed it because you're on a motorcycle. Well, actually, I'll just, you know, I changed. I was crazy back then. Oh, I understand. I get what you're saying. I get what you're saying.

Yeah. Yeah. No, I get it. Priorities. Because I bought a motorcycle. Yeah. No, I get it. Priorities. Because I bought a motorcycle. Okay. No, I understand. Because I've neglected many things in my life and people too.

So I get it, man. I get it. Have you ever had a snake as a pet? No, I haven't. Have you ever had a desire to have a snake as a pet? No. All right. Chad?

I had an iguana. You had an iguana? Yeah, that was wild. Really? How long did you have that? I bought a pet. Chad? I had an iguana. You had an iguana? Yeah, that was wild. How long did you have that? We bought a motorcycle. I bought a car for about two years. You know, it sounds like this is a thing. People get these reptiles and about

two years later they're like, I don't want this anymore. I hear that iguanas are super cool but that they're also that will claw the hell out of you. They'll slap you with that damn tail. Do they? Oh, man, it hurts like a whip. Really?

Yes, yes, yes. Does it intentionally slap you or it just happens? That's part of their defenses. They'll slap you with that damn tail. Yeah, where did you get slapped? On the arm and stuff. You go down and get him and he'll be like, nope. And it's hard to spank an iguana.

You can't. You're just like like why'd you do that you can't spank your lizard can you i mean you could you get caught spanking your lizard once by your mom didn't you i'm spanking my lizard leave me alone all right so the weirdest the weirdest pets i ever had were a pair of ferrets that i named uh proto and kodo from the movie beastmaster or Poto and Kodo, whatever the hell they were. I can't remember, but I had a couple of ferrets for about two years.

That's about how long I had them. That's the perfect thing for a shoplifter, you know? Yeah, no, it wasn't. And let me tell you something. Those bastards paid me back every time, every way. Wow, man. Because, man, they will steal everything. If it's shiny, oh, oh my god it's gone listen i would

there were so many mornings i woke up looking for my car keys and i'd get so damn mad because they would find them they would take them and they would go hide them in the bottom corner of the couch you know and um and they even if you get them de-glanded, they still kind of stink. Yes. Oh, yeah. Yeah, they have a scent gland like a skunk does, but the domesticated ones, you have that removed, but they're still funky like a monkey. Trust me, you would. And they don't smell like anything else.

Ferrets smell like ferrets. But the reason mine were gone, I was also neglectful. I left the back door open, and somehow they got out the back door and never came back. Never came back. No, they probably got eaten by a hawk about an hour later would be my guess. Accidentally left the door open. I'm not going to say accidentally, but I had my keys with me, I'll tell you that.

You're so stressed. Want me to make you happy with my mouth yeah i guess so all right um so ronnie what do you got planned out this week what's going on with you man work work work big work week for you what about yourself chad you got a piercing hole putting holes in people man work work you got to be careful how you say that putting holes in people he says yeah now uh what kind of uh normally just ears and noses about 90 percent of what yeah pretty much ears and nose on a good day yeah on a good day what's a bad day uh there's some there's some long requests.

Maybe he'll grow into, maybe he's that guy, and he'll become that good. He'll never do it. Do you think they'll just keep him on trying to make him that good, though? I think they'll keep him on until LeBron's gone. And then he'll find himself out.

On another team or out, yeah. He won't be on another team. He'll not make another team. He might be the G League, maybe. Nah, I don't know probably not maybe now if he if he don't find his way with daddy there to help show him the ropes he gonna find it and i don't mean to disrespect him now the other one the other son that's coming up yeah he that's a killer right there i don't remember his name with that dude right there he's a killer

What didn't exist 10 years ago that you couldn't live without? 10 years ago that you couldn't live without?

Hmm. I really don't know. No? I'll tell you, for me... A Zippo machine. A what? A Zippo machine. A Zippo machine? What's a Zippo machine? A smoking dab. You don't encourage it. Anything like that? No, no. I saw a rig, a dab rig.

Okay, all right. How about you, Adam? What is something that didn't exist 10 years ago you couldn't live without now? It's a good one. It could be anything. I know, right? How about GPS? i was thinking that yeah it may be it may be uh slightly older but not much older than that especially for

use everywhere yeah uh man i i remember using what was it a tom tom yeah i'm telling yeah yeah a garmin yeah garmin tom tom all these different ones or a map yeah yeah and no i that's that's what i used to i mean i used to have to use a like a street atlas or a map and be like hey i'm lost let me tell you something this is a little embarrassing but i just got my license i was 16 and I had to go downtown for some reason. And, you know, there's a lot of one-ways downtown. I couldn't find my way out. I had to stop and call my mom in tears.

I can't get out of downtown. What's up, mommy? Yeah, yeah. It was terrible. She thought it was funny and got me. But she did get me out of downtown. So that was good. I've never been trapped in downtown again since.

I now know. Yeah. Were you scared? You said he was crying. Was I scared? Yeah, I was. I was 16. Yeah.

Yeah, I was scared. The other bad thing I did one time in traffic, which is like something out of a movie, is I took this chick that I was dating to Dallas. I really, really wanted to wow her, you know? So I took her to Dallas, to the Dallas Museum of Art, and then to, I don't remember the name of it, but the restaurant in the sky that spins around. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I took her to that, right? Fancy.

It was very fancy, you know, especially for someone in their very young 20s that's about to drop. But I could see it, but I couldn't quite find the road to it. And we had driven around like three times. And finally, I saw where there was a road, and I was like, oh, I just need to turn left to make a block now. So I just hoofed it, turned left. Bro, I was on the sidewalk. Driving down the sidewalk in front of the businesses people are yelling like in the movies god they're getting out of the way but the girl i'm with is screaming yeah and i finally got back on the street yeah and i said well that

was uh interesting i didn't get laid yeah i got you. I did not get laid that night. I'll be honest with you. It didn't happen. Spent a lot of money for dinner. Didn't. No, it did not at all. Yeah. GPS really is a game changer.

Now, sometimes it will make mistakes. Or do you get this? Does this happen to you on GPS sometimes? It's turned the wrong way. Yes. And the way you're looking at it. And so you'll make a right. And then all of a sudden it goes the other way and you're like,

what you're looking at me, you know where I'm at. Why are you doing this? And that's real bad. If you have a real estate client that's following you to the next house and you just turn and then immediately. What are you? Yeah. Turn around. Sorry. I'm an idiot. My GPS doesn't work. Right. to the next house and you just turn and then immediately whoop a u yeah turn around sorry i'm an idiot my gps didn't work right yeah you know there's lots of perils that are funny for

real estate agents like there's a gizmo called a supra box and it's a little bluetooth thing you have on your phone to open it and you can show up and those boxes will be hidden in places you can't find them or they won't open you know the door lock doesn't work yeah okay and you're just standing there like i feel like a moron right now it's not your fault but there you know what can you do except go around looking at all the windows yeah or what's really weird is i learned you have to be careful about showing up early for a showing because I showed up early. This probably in my first couple of months, I showed up early and you know, you just get the key, open the door, open the door. And someone said, Hey, there's people there.

Oh shit. Hold on everybody. Yeah. Yeah. That, that was a little embarrassing right there. Yeah. You said one 30. Sorry. Sorry. You said 1.30. I said 1.30. Sorry, sorry. Yeah. Yeah, so now I always open the door and go, hello? Hello? Hello? I was like, they could have smoked my ass, you know what I mean?

That's true. Like, people are crazy today. You just walk in someone's house, even if they're selling it. Yeah, they may smoke you, man. That is true. Yeah. Have you ever surprised someone or had someone surprise you in your home you know have someone come in the home surprise you

unless you count the police but did they surprise you yeah not a good time oh no they knock or did they no they just come straight oh they come straight yeah yeah i don't recommend it Oh, they come straight in. Yeah? Yeah. I don't recommend it. Do you not recommend one star? Do you not recommend being arrested at home?

No, bad times. No, I was arrested, I guess, technically for shoplifting, but they gave me the ticket. And then I was taken to – I've been taken to the radio room twice in my life. Uh, once, uh, which I, I said, I'm here where he found some weed in my pocket, but it was really my, my crime was contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Yeah. Because I was the only one that was 18 or whatever the age was. Everybody else was drinking and not that age.

Uh, and then I had a hot check one time I wrote. I didn't know I wrote it. I wrote a check. Listen, let's tell you how long ago this was. Wrote a check for a pack of cigarettes for $1.99. Wow. $1.99 for a pack of cigarettes. Wrote a check.

Had no idea the check bounced. But it did. It bounced. And you wouldn't think someone would send you to jail over that $1.99 sure would oh yeah they would sure would yeah and I got pulled over and when I got pulled over I told the girl I said I just got bought the car and I don't have tags on it yet no big deal hold on oh man another girl that that I was dating who did not work out because I got arrested put in the back issue because you know he comes up and I'm like yeah here's my lunch ready Another girl that I was dating who did not work out because I got arrested.

Because, you know, he comes up and I'm like, yeah, here's my lunch. Here's my paperwork. Okay, hold on. He comes back and he's like, Mr. Beam, could you step out of the car? Never a good statement. No, man. I'm sorry, what? Could you step out of the car? What for?

What for? I just need you to step out of the car. And they hauled me up to Sherwood, but I paid $100 plus the check. It was $101.99. It's the most expensive pack of cigarettes to this day I've bought. It's real close right now. Yeah. Real close to that right now if you buy a cigarette.

So you do that at your own peril, man. I remember saying I'd quit when they were $4. I'll quit when they're $5. I'll quit when they're $7. I'd quit when they were four dollars i'll quit when they're five i'll quit when they're seven i'll quit when they're ten how much are they over ten dollars seven to ten dollars a pack god yeah over ten yeah you can buy weed cheaper than cigarettes yeah and you can buy it on sunday he said he bought on sunday think about that yeah we won't sell alcohol but we'll sell all the pots you need on Sunday. I ain't going to try to get that run for us. That is true.

Why don't you open your mouth on that? Why are you speaking on that, man? Stop that. They're not going to change it. Believe me. You know, they've tried to change some of these blue laws recently. I think we're close to changing it. I don't even

understand it really it doesn't even make sense to me why you know i why is it keep sunday sunday like people aren't drunk on sunday late and stuff on sunday understood that uh you know it's just it's kind of a churchy type throwback rule yeah we're the buckle the tip of the buckle what are you talking about yeah we're bible belt bro yes that's definitely a holdover from from that time frame we like our pot but we will smoke all the pot well you know jesus would have shared a bowl with you i think don't you like a hippie did he not i mean long mean, he had long hair. Well, hell yeah, he had long hair. He was a carpenter. You think he didn't smoke weed? Come on, man. Yeah, of course he did.

All right, let's get to something else here that I want to talk about for a minute. And it's talking about weed. Here we go. Yeah, let's talk about it for a minute. Let's talk about it a little bit. While cannabis has historically been popular with the young people, right? A growing number of older adults are turning to it for a variety of reasons. A recent poll by the University of Michigan, it's a national poll on healthy aging, found that among people 50 years of age and older,

and older. 21% now say they've used a form of cannabis that contains the compound THC at least once in the past year and at least 12% on a monthly basis. They said it was a significant uptick in people over the age of 50. Said in our population, nearly all patients in our older adult program have admitted to trying cannabis in some forms, so it's very common. So what's the primary reason that someone of that age might do it? Because they like it. Let's see, to improve sleep, reduce pain, alleviate mental health issues, relax or feel good. So most of the seniors we see report using cannabis to manage issues like sleep pain anxiety or depression well yeah it's about the same as everyone else i think it's older people you know listen we remember when if you got caught with a bag of weed you were going

to jail man it's a bad day it's a while to accept it's okay to have weed. Yeah. Now I'm too comfortable. Right. Now I'm fired up anywhere. I don't even give a damn. I was sitting in a parking lot the other day at a store, and I was like, yeah, I think I'm going to smoke this right here. I don't want to do that before I go in the store because I didn't want to go in the store. It was a great trip to the store, though.

I'll tell you that. I really enjoyed it. Bought way too much food. I did not need most of what i got oh man i sit there and look at those donuts forever like i don't remember throwing this in there i don't even need that long john but i want it i want it so bad uh everybody it seems like i mean i i guess if you operate heavy equipment you don don't because you could, in theory, you don't. Because that could be a problem, right? And there are some jobs, I'm sure, that still don't want you to do it.

But do you think most places now are kind of chill on it? For the most part. Yeah. Have most of your jobs out there? Is it cool? Can you test positive? Do they even test anymore do we drug test people anymore i think it's mostly don't ask don't tell right right

that's what it is don't ask don't tell well i have a medical card so it's legal i mean yes you know uh it is a little doggy mike woodall said tyson smokes his mushrooms does he really yes yes is that true that's true i know he does mushrooms i don't know if he smokes them but i know i was gonna say i didn't even know if you could do that i guess in theory uh he likes the stuff that you get off the frog like the little oh that you lick off the back of a toad or whatever he was into that stuff is that like dmt in a way or something like that? I think it's like the organic form of it. Okay, okay, okay. Let's see.

Who else is... Mike Baldwin did a bit about GPS on your show a couple days ago. He did, didn't he? He's pretty funny. Yeah, he is. Ronnie needs to get up on the mic. Yeah, I know. We keep telling Ronnie.

I don't know what to do about Ronnie getting up on... You know, he's very stubborn, okay? So y'all keep telling him, alright? I think I'm on the mic. You are right now, yes. Yeah, but I'm waiting for you to drift again. Is that new old folks doing that or just holdovers?

I don't know. Amy said DOT cares. Yeah, no, they definitely care. Yeah, if they're driving a rig, look, I would prefer you probably do it sober let me just say that you know well i appreciate you need to make up time please don't kill me to do it you know uh this person said i used to leave my books in my truck

parked by the science building oh talking about talking about when you had books at school. Yeah, that was one thing. Remember when I went to school at Bryant? I graduated in 88, okay? But I can remember when I was there that there were guys who had rifles in the back windshield of their truck. Right across the back. You can drive to school with that in your truck.

Nobody thought twice about it ever. Nobody. Ever. Had a smoking section at the high school. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we did. That won't happen now. They don't have that now? No.

They don't make smoking accommodations for the kids anymore? You don't want the kids to smoke? You misers, you punks, you bitches. I had a couple of cool teachers that hit a cigarette before everybody came in and stuff like that. Mr. Shepard. Mr. Shepard? He was a good one. He was cool like that?

He was a real one, man. Yeah. That's cool. He never asked you for anything in return. No, you'd come in the room and smell like cigarettes. So after the first week, I was like, let me hit that. And he started letting me hit it. Pause.

Yeah. That's funny. Yeah. I never had the cool teachers like that, or at least I didn't know. Apparently, my English teacher was cool enough to hook up with my buddy, but I didn't know until after the fact. Oh, man. I was like, I didn't even think she was down like that.

Did you miss out? I wouldn't say I missed out. Was she a nice-looking teacher? I mean, she was in the middle range. You know, she wasn't a battle axe, and she wasn't hot. But I guess if you're 16, 17, then all of them are kind of nice-looking in some way. I mean, I'll look at any boobie, right?

I mean, it wouldn't matter whose it was. Right, right. Did he get a good grade? He damn sure did. He got a better grade than I did. I know that. He was doing something. He was, man.

Yeah, no, I did not hook up. But, yes, he would take him, bring him back home and everything. I was like, you son of a bitch. You son of a bitch. And you couldn't call your buddy? As many joints as we've shared, you couldn oh that's wrong i'm sorry that's wrong it is abuse it's wrong people shouldn't do that ever oh man but if you're hot man that was the yeah that video was bad we had a teacher at bryant named

miss browning she was only there for a year at my 10th grade year then she went somewhere else but man i used to think very bad things about miss browning i'm sorry if you or your family are hearing this right now but miss browning if i could tell you many many days in that teenage brain you were teaching me something all right it was not poetry not so to speak you know uh did you have any uh any crazy teacher situations that happened when you were school not necessarily you hooked up with them but just something that went down somebody got fired somebody did something something crazy i had a crazy bus driver named ann she was like wild like she would go crazy fast and like hit bumps and like throw her kids up there high in the back we all have crazy bus drivers she was

that was part of the application oh man she was my kids has one now they're still around crazy bus man i we we had at least two of them who would stop the bus smoke stand up and start yelling oh just start screaming at you miss ann would smoke cigarettes and stuff while driving yeah while driving just oh yeah i remember seeing kids get kicked off the bus oh yeah pull over get out yeah yeah miss ann would pull over no matter where you're at they matter you're not home get out get out yeah if someone's fighting on the bus she would pull the bus over and be like y'all It didn't matter. You're not home. Get out. Get out. Yeah. Walk back. If she was fighting on the bus, she would pull the bus over and be like, y'all get out. And then the fight would start on the sidewalk.

They would fight and be like, all right, get back in. Then she'd take everybody home. Oh, she'd sanction the fight. Oh, gee, man. Like, yeah. Miss Anne. So everybody get around one-on-one. Yeah.

No friends helping. One day. No hits in the face. One day, somebody sprayed some pepper spray in there, and she got mad, and she, like, wanted the girl to get beat up. So she let everybody get off the bus, beat the girl up, and they got back on the bus and moved to school. I'm not sure that that is acceptable. You ever been pepper sprayed, man?

No, no. I'm not saying she didn't have it coming. I don't think they'd let her get away with that now. Oh, no. Not at this day and age. No. Yeah, yeah. I still don't understand why buses let her get away with that now. Oh, no. Not at this day and age. No. Yeah, yeah. I still don't understand why buses are safer without seatbelts.

I mean, all my, well, no, it's definitely more fun that way. But I'm like, how can that be better than no seatbelt? Yeah. I think they just say that because it's too much to put seatbelts on the whole bus. Yeah. I don't know what it is. No air conditioners. I remember in school, like, just sweating trying to get home.

You don't have air conditioning on the bus. I didn't have air conditioning on our bus. I never thought about it. It wouldn't work, would it, really? We just put the window down. Yeah, you had the windows down. That was it. And I hope you could get it back to go back up.

Did you ever get in trouble for, like, throwing stuff at cars, like, paper at cars and stuff out the window? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I had some people, like, pulling over, like, trying to whoop our butt and stuff. Really? Yeah, yeah. You threw that at my car. I'm i'm like no it's him in the back man we had a guy follow us all the way to school because some kid flipped him off in the back window in the back window and he was not happy about it at all and he was gonna fight teachers principals everybody just because that

kid flipped him off i got time today man yeah the kid today a kid today. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I had not with that person, but I had some guy that I pissed off. I was going down Reynolds Road in Bryant, and this is when Reynolds Road was just too lame. That's all it was. And the guy was riding my ass. Now, look, in Bryant, it's probably the same to this day, but I'll tell you what, i can guarantee you until the year 2000 at least you didn't go a mile over unless you were trying to get a ticket they wanted to

give you a ticket in bryant bad like they lived for it man they did at least and so i'm not speeding you know my parents if i get ticket my i lose my car privilege i get my ass beat all that happens you know and it's not worth it. So this guy's up on my, he's riding my, you know what I mean? Just tailgating. And finally, I just rolled down the window and gave him the salute. So the dude guns it to come around me, and I think he's just going to pass me. And he comes up besides me and says, I'm going to beat the, and I'm just like, oh, no.

So I just slam the brakes, hook a left, and start going down in this neighborhood. I'm in a Chevette. That is a little, what would that compare to now? Whatever the smallest car, smart car? Maybe it's about the same size. Except mine had

three friends in it. It's a little bitty car that has a four cylinder it barely the hamsters are barely making it you weren't going very fast no no i'm going as slow as this car can physically go this guy now is chasing me through the neighborhood right in this big ass truck man my friends are all like what are we going to do i pulled over at the police station i thought this guy will leave me alone he did not he got out came up to the window roll it down roll the window down now i cracked it about that much and he goes let me tell you something you long-haired earring wearing

hippie mother i will beat the hell out of you yes sir yes sir yes sir man me and my friends were like man that ruined the whole buzz man now i gotta roll another one just to go to school they call him a karen nowadays right you know nowadays he gets shot yeah he's shot hey he's pepper sprayed you don't do that you know kids, kids now are different. We were dumb back then. We didn't know nothing. These entitled kids would be like, what'd you say, punk? Hold on a second. I got something for you. Pull out their phone and start calling.

Yep. Oh, yeah, they would phone him, wouldn't they? Look at this dude. He's being crazy. That's the greatest equalizer in the world, isn't it? You know, when people start acting nuts, you just pull your phone out. Everything will shift. What'd you say?

Now, either one or two things are guaranteed to happen. Oh, you pull your phone out hey they're gonna quit doing what they're doing they're gonna lose their ass and really give you something to record i mean isn't that the way kind of it goes down it's usually the second one usually the second one yeah blow up it's like wow man look at that old Worldstar. Worldstar hit? Yeah, yeah. With videos out like that? Screaming, Worldstar!

Did they have many events? There was a couple of them. It was mainly the milk thing. The milk crate challenge, you mean? Pretty hard, man. Well, it is hard, but that's hardly the crackhead Olympics. That's the milk crate challenge.

It was like the pinnacle of it, though, was it not? It all seemed like crackheads, the people doing the challenges. That was the name of it, crackhead Olympics. Yeah, they call it the crackhead Olympics. I'm going to check it out. I had to look that up because now I have not, Crackhead Olympics. Yeah, they call it the Crackhead. On YouTube.

if you're dealing with custody, look, nobody wants to. You do not want that. But if you're going to have to do it, don't take a second-tier attorney. Take someone who knows what they're doing. Bonnie Robertson's a friend of mine. Her firm, Robertson, Oswalt, Noni & Associates, they've been doing this a long time. They know about family law. They know about custody. about custody call them let them help you 866-311-3815 866-311-3815 look bonnie's done great work for me and she will for you uh and also check out crazy jay's next to chad over here on donaghy there's two locations yes yes where's the other one the other ones by me is 1008 and then the other

Not only that, if you do like the electric lettuce, you know, the hippie lettuce, the dank Sinatra, whatever you call it, and you're looking for some good glass pieces or smoking implements or, you know, those type of things, Crazy J's has got it. He's like the Baskin Robbins of head shops, man. Like, he's got everything, all 99 flavors. Yeah, Chad said he had a pipe that looked like an AK-47.

He's got some sweet stuff, man. You could smoke AK-47 in an AK-47. That'd be kind of dope, wouldn't it? Doug said, I had a buddy sleeping in class, and the class was getting loud and rowdy, and the teacher yelled, Hey, y'all settle down. Denton's trying to sleep.

That's a pretty good one. That's not what happened to my son at basic training. Now look, if you've been in the military, every kid has a basic training story for when they're in the military. And something's going to go really wrong for you. In my son's case, and he's like most teenage boys uh the only thing he likes more

than girls is sleep you know what i mean teenage boys love sleep and uh and when you're in the military man they wake you up at crazy times they work you 10 times as hard you can fall asleep anywhere uh and so he went to the restroom and he fell asleep on the crapper not good oh yeah he fell asleep sitting there and apparently the drill sergeants came in to call a formation and they were looking for him where's beam where's beam like oh he's in the bathroom so the drill sergeant brought everybody in the bathroom and he's like be quiet do not wake him up whatever you do do not wake him up he made him get down on the floor and start doing push-ups he's like do not make a sound beat your face one two what and so they're doing push-ups can't make a sound until he wakes up oh man right so they're

already pissed at him they're mad as hell at him, right? He said, so, you know, I don't know what happened, but I started to come to and I can hear it. And I'm like, oh, no. Oh, no. They're out there waiting on me to come out. It's me who's asleep. And he's like, I didn't know what to do with it. There's nowhere to go.

He's like, so I just flushed and opened the door. And he said, he was like so i just flushed and opened the door and uh man he said he was like private were you sleeping in there yes sir i thought about lying he said but i knew better he said i sure was yeah and he goes all right guys get out and beat your face some more and so he's not not you tyler you stand up yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah oh man he said that was a tough day for him right there yeah yeah yeah i did so many push-ups when i was in boot camp they made me start doing uh setups really yeah they were like oh you're doing those two too good now like oh really yeah a hundred percent yeah yeah i can see that with you came home i had like a little six-pack.

That's the most fit I've ever been is after basic. You've been in a lot of trouble. No, I got in a lot of trouble in a similar way because when I went to basic, you get your weapon. At that time, it was an M16. But you don't get bullets or anything at first. You're like Barney Five. They give you the weapon and you learn to fight with it first. Learn to use it in fighting and in combat. And that's what we were doing. But before we went to the rifle range, the

drill sergeant told each and every one of us in formation, this is your weapon. Okay. Do not allow anyone else to have it. You are responsible for it. You sign it in and you sign it out. No one else is responsible for it. You do not want to lose this. Trust me, you. And I took him at his word, you know? So when another drill sergeant said, Hey, let, let this private use your weapon. I said, I can't do that. I can't do that. Drill sergeant. No. And he goes, goes, private, I'm sorry, did you tell me no? Yes. You damn well are going to let him use it or I'll stomp a mud hole in your back.

As I did not want a mud hole in my back. I did let him use it, but I told the kid, I was like, listen, man, you've got to get it back to me. You've got to give it back. You've got to bring it to me. I have to go over here. Bring it back to me. You've got to give it back. You've got to bring it to me. I have to go over here. Bring it back to me. Oh, no.

Okay. So we all get back to the barracks, right, for weapon turn in. Because now you have to turn them in. I don't have one. Not good. He's like, well, where is it, private? Well, I'll let another private use it. Who?

I don't know. The drill sergeant told me to. You don't know. Well, I let another private use it. Who? I don't know. The drill sergeant told me to. You don't know.

They locked down Fort Sill, Oklahoma. They locked it down, the whole fort. They started doing locker to locker searches for my weapon. I'm in the senior drill sergeant's office with him and all four other drill sergeants yelling at me at the same time while i'm doing push-ups every one of you piece of shit yeah dumbass how stupid are you you couldn't pour piss out of a boot with the instructions on the heel you're an idiot yes drill sergeant yes drill sergeant yeah pushing them drill sergeant. Pushing them out. Yeah, you're just pushing them out, man. And they finally found it, leaning against a tree on the rifle range. And so from that day forward, which is fairly early on in basic,

if a drill sergeant got within 30 feet of me, I had to do push-ups until he left. So you came out with abs. I came out with, looked hulk hogan bicep look like monster michael todd yeah ready to weight lift or you know or arm wrestle anybody yeah it was pretty crazy all right uh let's uh oh i know we need to do let's switch it up patrick and the people. You say elevator. I say fart locker. What?

Let's do this. Listen up now, I'll tell you a story Without a doubt, it's kinda gory It's the worst news you could ever hear Things just like this make you fear Lying lunched on a dumb guy's knee Or a big hard fuck drowning somebody Why you laughing? Why you laughing?

This shit ain't funny, this shit ain't funny, funny, this shit ain't funny, all right, that's enough of that, okay, this story is absolute insanity, this is just, wow, in a very unusual medical incident, a man who was declared dead by doctors after he suffered a heart attack woke up mid-surgery in Kentucky. The man's family told media he woke in the middle of surgeons performing the harvesting surgery of his organs for donations. What? Yeah, so he dies of a heart attack. They rule him dead. And they start taking all this stuff. Then it's time to get the organs out because you're an organ donor on your driver's license, right?

Yes. And as they start to cut him open, boom, all of a sudden he comes awake and was visibly crying match yeah well it probably was pretty damn painful yeah he was in pain give me my can you imagine that damn do what that's not your kidney no it's definitely not i'm gonna need both of those if you don't mind it. That's crazy, man. I did wake up during a surgery once, but they put me back under real fast. But it did freak me out. Really? Yeah, because it was a surgery like it was related to my colon. Let me put it like that.

Okay. And so I woke up and in my state of semi-probe-a-fold, I thought I was abducted by aliens and being probed. And I started trying to get up off the table. They were like, don't do that. Don't do that. I thought, oh, no, they're in my butt. I got to go. They were in my butt.

But a whole different story there. I apologize. You probably don't need to know any more about that, do you? All right. Let's go with this then. Crazy story. A couple critically injured Wednesday night when Olympia police say their son attacked them with a sword. Yeah, the incident occurred about 8.15.

Multiple officers responded to the scene after a 911 call, in which disturbance could be heard in the background. When officers arrived, they heard a woman screaming from an upstairs bedroom. They forcibly entered the home. The bedroom door was locked, but the screaming persisted, so they busted the door open. They reported seeing a man holding a large blade above a man and woman who were on the ground with multiple stab wounds. The officers referred to the blade multiple ways. Some of them

described it as a sword. They said it was a horrifying scene. Officers ordered the man to drop to the ground. He resisted and then they tased him. Uh, they began assisting the wounded man and women with combat trauma kits. That's how bad it was. Um, said the sword wielder, 37 year old son of the two victims, both of whom were 72. What a piece of shit. All three of them live together. Yeah. You know what?

You low rent asswipe. You never got a job. You're sitting home eating their food. You don't give a damn. And then what they do? Cut off your Xbox. Tell you what. You get enough free pizza.

Need to pick up your room. Reduce your cell phone time. You piece of crap. First responders transported the woman to the hospital. The injured man airlifted because he was not capable of being ambulanced. So he's been charged now with two counts of second-degree attempted murder. It does not say what really did start it, though. But that's pretty bad, though. Pretty bad.

Italy did start it, though. But that's pretty bad, though. Pretty bad. Two men in their 30s accused of trying to set a man on fire at a homeless camp known as the Jungle. Jungle. Yeah, well, it is the Jungle you're in. That man, 31, the first arrest booked on suspicion of second-degree attempted murder. Second man, 31, arrested Friday.

So what happened? Well, about 1 a.m., police were dispatched to the location where they found a 47-year-old man severely burned across the torso and face. Police think that one or two people confronted the victim. An argument ensued. They threw gas on him and set him on fire. I mean, damn. What a cold world. It really is, isn't it?

I mean, I don't even know how you do that. I don't either. You know, it's like dismembering bodies. I couldn't do it. Dommer. Yeah, I might fold you up and get you in something, but that's as far as I'm going. I'm not going to cut you up. I can't do that. Dommer. Yeah, I might fold you up and get you in something, but that's as far as I'm going. I'm not going to cut you up. I can't

do that. That's too much work. I'll origami your ass, but I'm not cutting you up. I'm not doing all that. That's too much for me. Maine authorities rescued a woman after she went missing in a forest with her husband and their dog for four days.

when something, they think it was a bird, hit his glider, ripped through the glider, thus causing him to immediately begin to plummet, where that he hit another pyramid right on the top. Ouch. Where he landed and stayed, penetrated at the top of the pyramid. They had to, somebody had to climb up and bring him down. Really?

Pop him off. Yeah. Just roll down. They should have probably just rolled him. Yeah. You know what? That would have been a better way to do it it'd be quicker yeah he's already dead don't worry about just roll him off roll him off all right and see if i've got one more here that uh might be where yeah this is a pretty bad story here too. The catastrophic failure of an aluminum ferry gangway

caused death Saturday of seven people who were attending an annual cultural event. The people were critically injured and remained hospitalized Sunday afternoon. Now, among those killed, 77-year-old Charles Houston of Darien, Georgia, the chaplain for both the DNR and the Georgia State Patrol said

the aluminum gangway, which was installed at the marsh landing dock just in 2021, gave way in the middle under the weight of the people boarding the ferry to leave the island. One end was in the water. One end of the gangway on the landward side was still attached. Adding the gangway was supported by two platforms at the time. But in addition to Houston, those who perished were identified as Jacqueline Carter, 75, Cynthia Gibbs, 74, Carlotta McIntosh, 93, Isaiah Thomas, 79.

It sounds like the Grim Reaper just showed up a little early. Honestly, just a little early. He wasn't even that early. One of them's 93. I mean, that's not even like an unexpected thing. He could have died anyway. At least 20 people ended up in the water. Another 20 jumped in to try to save people.

They saved a lot of lives but in the end they did lose those seven people it was probably a pretty damn crazy thing to have happen but that you know i mean hey that's when stuff's not built properly that's what happens they probably should have used scaffolding yep should have used scaffolding that's what it is they should have used the scaffolding baby am i right all right uh so listen have used the scaffolding, baby. Am I right? All right. So listen, what's going on the rest of the week for us here coming up? So we'll have some more guests in the studio this week.

Very excited. We're going to start having some comedians in. I was telling folks early on that we're going to team up with the Looney Bin and start bringing in the big comedians. They're going to come in, have fun, hang out with us. Plus, I'll be interviewing them for Patrick's after-school special. The first one aired Saturday. It was a lot of fun. A really different kind of interview for comedians talking,

but it was a lot of fun. He was a real interesting guy, and I thought we had a really interesting conversation. And I promise you I'm not bullshitting. This is not some kind of fake promo. By the end of the week, I will be tased. One way or another, if I've got to get someone to go buy one at the pawn shop and tase my ass, it's happening this week, I promise you.

But it could be done. Yes, I know it can be. You've already volunteered. You're a very sick person. I see the smile. Yeah, he wants to do it. Let me do it, man. I saw one at the pawn shop.

It looked like a cattle prod. Screw yourself, man. All right, we will see you tomorrow. Thanks for tuning in. We appreciate you guys. By the way, our Friday show, the biggest one yet, man. Thousands of you guys listening. We couldn't be more thankful and appreciative of you being here.
