Well, I'm going to say it once. President Trump taking a victory. He crossed the finish line, 276 electoral votes in the election. He spoke to supporters in Palm Beach from Mar-a-Lago, said it was the greatest political movement of all time. He overcame many obstacles.

Nonetheless, he's back, and here we are. Now, let's see. It says Steve Kornacki is the man who when it comes to election analysis, the NBC News political correspondent built a large fan base. He was given the live cam treatment. Viewers could watch his every move last night, even behind the scenes.

The Kornacki cam mostly caught him drinking lots of coffee. Yeah. I was going to say, I don't know if I want to see everything. No, I certainly don't. They do exist. A Nigerian national has been arrested. Yeah, they caught one.

He's been running a romance fraud. He's gotten over $3 million. been running a romance fraud. He's gotten over three million. Federal prosecutors say Franklin Nwadiallo would meet people on dating sites, get their trust. Once he claimed he was in the military

and fined $150,000, the victim gave him about two and a half mil. There were at least four of them. He operated outside the U.S., but when he arrived in Texas, they got his ass. Yeah, Texas is going to get you. Yeah, don't play with Texas. You got the wrong grandma in Texas.

Yeah, don't play with that. Don't play with Texas. But, yeah, she'll never get two and a half mil back, I'll tell you that. That's long gone. Tropical storm Rafael strengthened into a Cat 1 hurricane near the Cayman Islands last night. Storm forecast to rapidly intensify into a cat 2 before it makes landfall in Cuba. It's expected to reenter the Gulf of Mexico

and make its way north towards Louisiana. It will probably lose strength there and just be a tropical storm. That's usually what happens in Louisiana. Yeah. A judge found that former Mayor Rudy Giuliani had defamed a mom and daughter who worked at a Fulton County, Georgia polling place on Election Day 2020. They ordered him to forfeit property to pay the $148 million judgment.

Well, that's not egregious at all. A federal judge ordered Giuliani issued an order yesterday for the mayor to appear in court to answer to allegations he had hidden away property to keep from turning it over. Yeah, I would have left. Everybody does. Yeah, of course they do. Oh, yeah. Thanks.

Security officials suspect that Russian intelligence was behind the plot to put incendiary devices and packages on cargo planes headed to North America and Europe. One of the devices caught fire at a courier hub in Germany. incendiary devices and packages on cargo planes headed to North America and Europe. One of the devices caught fire at a courier hub in Germany. Another went off in an English warehouse. Russia denied any involvement. Well, would you expect them to admit it? Right. Last month, Poland said it arrested four people linked to a foreign intelligence operation and was looking for two others.

Polish officials said the group had also tested a way to send packages to the U.S. and Canada. Third quarter earnings for Yum Brands didn't live up to the name. They reported yesterday that quarterly earnings and revenue missed expectations with KFC and Pizza Hut falling more than expected. Well, let me tell you something. I was on the way home the other night and I think we'd had burgers the night before and I was like, well, I'm going to do some chicken or whatever. Almost went to Chicken Express, but I thought to myself, man,

last time I went there, it was very expensive and I just wanted to be a little cheaper. I went to KFC, man. Three meals. $42. I was like, God dog, man. Three meals? $42.. I was like, God, dog, man. Three mils? $42.

Are you kidding me? Wow. Yeah, that's why your sales are down, asshole. The Parker Solar Probe is on its way to the sun in an attempt to become the closest any human-made object has ever been. It's making a pit stop on the way. It's going to do a final flyby of Venus today using the planet's gravity to alter its speed and direction. The probe expected to pass within about 3.86 million miles of the surface of the sun on Christmas Eve,

where NASA says it'll cut through plumes of plasma still connected to the sun. They're hoping it'll give them data about the sun because we need more data about the sun. They're hoping it'll give them data about the sun because we need more data about the sun. Yeah, no, it's hot. Stay away from it. When it goes out, we're all in trouble. Yeah. All right.

Hey, this is a good story. Over the weekend, a kidnapping victim rescued in El Monte, California with the help of the Find My iPhone app. Finally, it's good for something. Yeah, yeah. We keep an eye on each other with it. When a man showed up to his girlfriend's workplace Saturday evening distraught and armed, an argument ensued, eventually leading to him forcing his girlfriend into his own car and driving away with her. During the abduction, the victim managed to contact a friend who

informed law enforcement, gave him location information by tracking her with the Find My iPhone app. Deputies from L.A. responded. They caught up with the vehicle. He led them on a 21-mile chase until the vehicle stopped using spike strips. The kidnapper is now in jail and probably getting some good man love in. If Rivers Cuomo and the Weezer gang have a style, it should probably be called Wait What? Exactly. Yeah.

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of their debut album, the band has built an arcade game. It's called Weezer Sweater Saga. Stop it. Yeah, it isn't a phone game. It's a stand-up arcade game. No. It's available for fans to play. Hey, if you go to the Brooklyn Projects in L.A, they got it over there. You just like traveling a sweater. Yeah. Grab you a pocket full of quarters

and head over to LA. Okay. Play the Weezer game. Yeah. I'm going to LA to play that game. Yeah, for sure. Right. I wonder if Vortex will get it. I don't know. Let's get to some sports here. Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid going to be forced to take a three-game break. The NBA announced a suspension as a result of his shoving confrontation with columnist Marcus Hayes following Saturday's game. Joe Dumars, executive VP of basketball, said the mutual respect between players and media is paramount, even though Embiid was offended by what Hayes wrote. He said interactions have to be professional.

He'll lose a million bucks because of that, which isn't that much to him. I was going to say. You know, that's like me being fined $1,000. It sucks real bad. It's going to make it uncomfortable for about a week. Yeah, for him, that's how it is. So what happened to our boy Kelsey? Like if what's-his-face is getting a three-game suspension for shoving somebody,

what's our favorite Kelsey doing? Well, I know this. He did something Monday night that no NFL player his age has ever done. Because he's awesome. He got 14 passes, and the Chiefs went over the Bucs, making him the first player 35 or older to do it. Oh, Kelsey. And he bagged T. Swift as well.

That's the other one, isn't it? No. Oh. No, the other one's retired. He doesn't play anymore. Okay, so his brother's the one that punched the guy, right? No, uh-huh. He didn't have the phone.

No. Broke the phone? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That was Jason. Yeah, that was Jason. How's Jason? Okay, so Jason's retired, so he doesn't get any trouble. He could lose his broadcast job, I guess, but he's not.

I doubt that. Yeah, he's not. Well, go Travis. Go T. Swift's boyfriend. Hey, if it wasn't for her, nobody would know about the Chiefs, would they? Yeah, that's the word on the street. Yeah. Thanks to her, people know about the NFL.

Yeah, the Super Bowl winners. He brought so many new eyes to the NFL. We appreciate that. Look at them now. They're 8-0. Hey, they are. That's saying something about them. Well, I don't know how much it says about Taylor Swift.

I doubt it has anything to do with her, though. No, I think not. As a matter of fact, I'd say that if anything, he lost a step because of her. He's too happy now. He's too relaxed. You know what I mean? Isn't that good, though? Shouldn't you be relaxed?

Yeah, but he can still catch. You should be pissed off. He can still catch. Yeah, no, he did. What are we pissed off about? Whatever it takes to win the game, you know? Anything. People talking about your girl?

Yeah, that'll do it. First couple games, he wasn't getting any catches. No, he didn't. Too much sex. Everybody was giving him a hard time about it. Too much sex. He was depleted. Yeah, something like that.

I wonder if he's doing No Nut November. You know, it's funny because a lot of the MMA people and boxers, they abstain completely for a period before they fight. That does not surprise me. Yeah. Well, the theory is... Right. Right.

And your violence. Someone debunked it. I want to say it. Here. Get on. There you go. Muhammad Ali debunked that whole thing. Did he? It was either him or Tyson. One of them. Well, Tyson didn't give a damn. No.

He could get rid of it. No, he had more than enough. College football playoff rankings have finally been released. If the playoffs were seeded today, the four teams to get a bye would be Oregon, Ohio State Buckeyes, Georgia, and Miami, Florida. After those four, Texas,

Penn State, Tennessee, Indiana, BYU, Notre Dame, Alabama, and Boise State. The next rankings are going to be released next Tuesday night. Have you watched SEC Roll Call yet? No, I still haven't, but I need to. Somebody sent me a clip of it, and I need to go watch it. I have not watched it yet. Have you ever seen it?

No. Ronnie, have you ever seen it? It's a comedian. I think his name is Matt Matthews, something like that. But he's on the Facebook. Google him. He's on the YouTube. But he does an SEC roll call where he plays a representative from each of the teams.

And a moderator. Moderator. Can't talk today. And it is hilarious. And the way that he plays Hog City, you know, the Razorback rep is pretty funny. That's great. Check it out. There's another girl that does one for football.

NFL. Yeah. Yeah. All right. An investigation underway by Penn State University Police concerning the phone slamming incident between Jason Kelsey and a fan who taunted him with a homophobic slur directed at his brother uh travis of course the review looking at the incident as part of potential criminal mischief and disorderly conduct charges prior to monday night kelsey addressed it with an

apology saying look in a heated moment he decided to greet hate with hate said he tries to live his life by the golden rule treat people with decency and respect but he fell short this week i love the kelseys you know what uh they do seem like nice people but look you know no matter who you are uh everybody has a breaking point yes and to be honest with you some of these fans paparazzi these kind of folks they're just they're just dicks man they push and push and, you know, a human being snaps. Yeah, they really are. They are. All right, let's take a look at this.

Bill Bender of Sporting News took a shellacking last week in his football picks against the spread. He put up a 5-10 mark for the week. But his overall, well, that put his overall season record to below 500. But he has made picks this week, if you care. And you can go look at him, because I'm not going to read him if he sucks that bad. All right. Let's see what else we got here in sports.

Hold on. All right. Benjamin Hubbard, I think on YouTube, says, good morning. Good morning, Benjamin. Good morning, Ben. How you doing, man? Oh, here you go. Tom Brady, now part owner of the Raiders.

There are limits on some of the things he can say as part of the broadcast crew during an NFL game. One of those rules concerns criticizing officials. This past weekend, there was concern over if he'd broken that rule and thereby subject to discipline from the league. While calling the Packers Lions game, Brady said he didn't love that call from the league. While calling the Packers-Lions game, Brady said he didn't love that call from the officials after Lions safety Brian Branch was booted from the game after a helmet-to-helmet hit on the Packers receiver. Because he didn't see serious intent in the play, Brady didn't think the ejection was warranted.

While the comment was critical, the NFL said, well, we're not going to find your Tom Brady. Good morning, Coda. Yeah, Tom Brady. Yeah. Good morning. Koda. Yeah. Tom Brady, baby. You gotta love, you gotta love TB 12 though.

Yeah. Yeah. I wonder if people like him as a commentator. I wonder how he's doing ratings wise on that. I don't know. No, I haven't seen any ratings on it, but,

uh, I don't know. Great. No, he's just okay. He has an unusually high voice i mean and it always throws me off when i hear him talk because i expect it to be it's kind of like uh pat mahomes when you ever heard him talk patrick mahomes like a child or it's like a kid pat mahomes oh yeah he sounds kind of like kermit the frog or Danny McBride. Yeah, he does. One or the other. You know, you take your choice on that.

But let's do something different here. You wake up and you feel like crap. You know who else wakes up and feels like crap? Yeah, here comes a shameless plug. The average of the people. All right. Let's talk about this and see what you think, if this is true or not. You know, Reddit, where everything good in the world comes from.

Love Reddit. Oh, it's so fun. That is my favorite rabbit hole. Absolutely the happiest website in the world. It really is. I mean, you go to Reddit, everybody's just smiling, hugging. Yes. But there are some things we all know to be true, even if we don't talk about them. A Reddit post digs into this by asking what's something everybody knows, but nobody actually

says out loud. Well, you know, over on Reddit, everybody chimes in, right? Yeah. Thousands of responses have come in. Here are some of the more popular unspoken truths, allegedly. Looks do matter, and they matter a lot. Amanda, true or not true? Cough. To an extent, yes, absolutely. Yeah, okay. Mike?

Well, of course. I mean, you've got it, but it's not the overall. Okay, get on the mic, Mike. Sorry, sir. No, you're good. So, yeah, I mean, overall, it's a combination. But it does matter. That's how you get the first look.

Yeah, all right. Wouldn't they say within 15 to 30 seconds or something of meeting somebody, an individual knows whether they want to have sex with them?

Well, the females do. Really? Yeah, females do. I think men have that notion all the time. I was going to say. Come on, guys. Always. Ronnie, what do you I think men have that notion all the time. I was going to say. Come on, guys. Always.

Ronnie, what do you think? Do looks matter? They matter a lot? Yeah, they matter. Yeah. I mean, it's not just impression. They matter to the individual. It depends on what you like.

Right. You know, honestly. Everybody's different. Yeah, it depends on what you like. Yeah. But there are some universal things you don't like. Stinky folks. Well, yeah, if you stink. You don't't like you know folks well yeah if you stink you don't

look like you bathe yeah sometimes if you're missing some chiclets like a jack-o'-lantern it can be a little challenging i'll be honest with you true story um people who get paid the least do the most work true or not true that's true i would agree yeah well by all means that's true they're going to get paid the means that's true they're going to get paid the least that's why they do manual labor because the further up the ladder you go the less you have to do that you use your brain you get paid more uh doesn't mean you're better it just means you're able to use your brain to get paid more all right having mentally sane parents is one of the most important privileges in life bro Bro, yes. I wouldn't know that.

Nobody has that, though. Exactly, yeah. I can't tell you. I am not that parent, and I love you, Mama, but, I mean, we all know that we, yeah, we carry the torch. No, yeah, we carry the torch for dysfunction. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, no, we were olympically dysfunctional, I promise you.

Okay. Mike, what about you? My parents were split up. Yes. Your parents what? My parents were split up. So I've got good parents, got bad parents. Yeah.

Mixed bag of nuts. Okay. All right. All right. I got you. Most newborn babies are ugly on the first day. You're damn right. Oh, yes.

Yeah, they are. Okay. All of day. You're damn right. Yes. Yeah, they are. Okay. All of them. I don't care about seeing the, look, if I have to see your baby and comment on it, I will.

All of them are ugly. They're all ugly. They're all wrinkly, weird. A friend of mine got so much shit. So there was a few years ago, there was a contest for ugliest baby. And I think this might have been during COVID.

And she submitted, you know, her daughter's photo. And I mean, straight up. Yeah, this baby was ugly. And she went viral for it. She absolutely went viral for it. And she got so much hate, so much hate for it. But yeah, she actually made it on the news. She's not saying her daughter's ugly she's saying it's an ugly baby yeah it was the ugly baby and there's like thousands of other people submitting these videos and photos like bro my kid was ugly isn't there a story about the ugly duckling

doesn't that become the swan yeah allegedly allegedly sometimes the ugly duck that word right just becomes an ugly swan all right it says uh everybody knows that success often comes from luck and timing but we rarely admit it we prefer to believe it's all hard work and talent um i don't know if it sometimes it's that, but I believe that when good luck meets opportunity and you're prepared for it, you can be successful. Yeah. But there are times, yes. I mean, look, Hot Tua Girl is a great example of luck playing a part in success, right? Yeah. Because luckily for her, anyway, that video went viral and she became a star right that's luck what is she but she was doing the work ahead of time or at least you know well yeah i mean she had the

experience yeah to bring that to the table that's right you're under it or whatever yeah however you all right no judgment um all right how about this one that religion is a social construct where you're born largely determines your religion if you happen to be born in india 80 chance you're hindu if you're born in the u.s probably a christian yeah that's probably pretty true yeah i mean facts yeah you know you can't argue that. It'd be hard to. It's where you're at. I don't even know what this means, but it says that this is a truth that everybody knows, but nobody says. Dating leagues exist. Does that mean you're out of my league type thing?

So leagues of attractiveness? I think so. Okay, well then, yes, that does exist, sure. Yeah. Yeah, now, there are exceptions. As a matter of fact, here is a really bad example of how the world works. Dallas is a great example because if you go to Dallas, man, every guy's got a 10 on his arm. I'm not lying to you.

I mean, it's a really weird phenomenon because there's so many people in Texas. They drive big well but there's so many people in texas that the competition is different and they're much more down to earth to be honest with you if you're a 10 here you're probably super snooty yeah you're an well i'm not going to say that but you're probably yeah probably are you know uh but it's not that way. Like you, like I say, you go to Dallas and now you see every, you see dudes who look like Lyle Lovett with Julia Roberts. Probably in Nashville and California too. But I think part of that also goes with what we just talked about as far as where you're

born, where you're at, where you're, you know, where you're living and, and, and all that stuff, the circumstances kind of where you're at will play a role in that. And I will say the one secret weapon that is out there for guys is humor. If you're funny, you can overcome a deficit in appearance. Hello. Hi there. It'd be me. What a little doggy.

Yeah. Hey, what's up, Mike? Okay. It says emotionally intelligence is vastly underrated. Agreed. Yeah. Agreed. Yeah.

How many people do you see? 110%. How many people do you see on social media that can't even restrain themselves? EQ is so important. Yeah. They're out there arguing with people. You're not showing what I would call emotional intelligence if you're arguing with people on Facebook. All right?

I'm just going to give you that. Lord warrior. Well, you know. Nobody actually reads the terms and conditions like ever. We just hit accept. Yeah, no. Very few. Very few.

I do know maybe one. I don't have enough hours in the day to read that thing. Do you know how far down that goes? I'm not reading all that. Scroll. Yeah. We're all just kids walking around in grown-up bodies. 100%.

Yeah, mostly. I mean, you know, you get a little more mature because you have to if you're going to eat, if you're going to, you know, have a house and a domicile and whatnot but those things are actually you know ego states yeah and it's it's um transactional analysis which is how we communicate yeah three different ego states we stay in usually all of our lives okay child ego state okay parent ego state okay an Child ego state. Okay. Parent ego state. Okay. And adult ego state. Okay. Child ego state. Manipulation, little professor, I want what I want when I want it.

Yeah. Parent ego state, critical and nurturing. Yeah. Adult ego state, facts, logic, and reason. So we stay in our child ego state 65% of our whole entire life. That's more fun. I would agree. Well, yeah, because I mean our whole entire life. That's more fun. I would agree. Well, yeah, because, I mean, you know.

Not with the being fun. But as an adult, we learn to change emotions at any given time. You know, in front of a clerk, at a store, in front of your boss. Oh, yay, I'm an adult. You know, you get into your facts, logic, and reasons. But in the child ego state, which we stay 65% of our lives, is because, you know, we might have a newborn baby. We see kids or we play around a lot.

So we stand in that ego state. But we know how to switch. Well, some of us do. Some of us. Not all of us. Some of us are too terrified to evolve to the next level.

You know who you are. Primered pickup truck with glass backs. Oh my god, did I say that? Hot mic, hot mic, hot mic. Alright. Good looking people get Oh, my God. Did I say that? Hot mic, hot mic, hot mic. All right. Good-looking people get away more with behaving badly. It's called pretty privilege.

Yeah. Yeah, and it's one of my favorite things on the body cam footage when the ladies pulled the pretty privilege. Yeah. I watched one last night, but I had to just get off of it because she was just ridiculous. Do they usually get more? Do they get off of it she was just ridiculous do they usually get more do they get away with it hell no they get more belligerent and they get additional charges that usually

include battery on a peace officer with violence things like that i like it when they start offering favors oh yeah yeah that's funny and i've seen one where a guy does it and then he got locked in the back of the cop car and his supervisor had to come let him out. And they're like, bro, why are you back here? He's like, oh, she was having a medical episode. Yeah, no, she was. Yes, she was. He got snake bit.

She had to suck the poison out. Yeah, I remember when I was a kid, I was in Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, all that. They gave us what was called a snake bite kit. And it was an oval little thing about this big, you know. That is a little bigger than a USB drive, you know. And in it, it had a little thing that you just cut. So you could suck the poison out. Nowadays, they tell you this is absolutely the wrong thing to do.

Yeah, do not try to cut open a snake bite and suck poison out it's just stupid archer taught me that who archer show oh yeah really i didn't know i didn't know it was educational like that that's great there's a lot of things you can learn from archer okay i've heard it's pretty good yeah i have I have heard that. Well, most of all. In any group of people, everyone knows the pecking order. No one verbalizes it because it would be weird. Is there a pecking order in every circle? Yes. What do you think, Ronnie?

Yes. So we just, by default, recognize who the leader of the circle is? Yeah, I mean, it's just an evolutionary thing. I mean, it just carries over from our ancestors and in that um tribal mentality i'm absolutely the leader yeah until laura gets here oh true story and then i'm no longer any kind of leader at all laura are you listening you want to yeah she knows uh brown nosing works no no it does sometimes sometimes sometimes but honestly that's they're the worst really oh man there's nothing worse than a brown noser oh man god you're annoying probably depends on that ego state yeah oh nice callback mike nice callback that's true that's true what uh amanda what's a truth

you think uh that everybody knows but no one says out loud? Oh God. No, you're full of wisdom. No, it's, it's early in my head hurts. I have no idea. I mean, I agree with pretty much all that except for the, the brown nose part. I mean, back in the day, I would agree with that, but I feel like we're at a point now where that is so suspicious, you know, and, um, and some folks, I don't know.

Here's the truth. Everybody knows, but nobody talks about worry. Doesn't matter. Oh yeah. It's a waste of your time. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. I agree. Yeah. Worry, worry is inaction when action is being taken at you and depression sets in when you're inactive. I heard that worry is worshiping the problem. Could be, yeah. You're putting it on a pedestal. Yeah, obsessing about the problem. Yeah, I can see that.

We all know it. We just don't do it. Yeah, well, worrying just, you're kind of like, you're wallowing in the water. You know, you got to get on the shore. Yeah. You know, get out of the water. That's the water.

So, yeah, I would say that that's mine. Yeah. A worry is a waste of time. Don't do it. You know, the old saying, just turn it over. Mm-hmm. Just turn it over. And you think to yourself, turn it over once.

Only if she says yes. Yeah. Yeah, I've heard that in the rooms for a long time. Turn it over. Let's change gears here. 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. That's right, baby. All right. So let's talk about a little Arkansas news here. I thought this was a little bit interesting. I didn't know this was going on, but Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin, he announced Monday that Arkansas, along with 29 other states, have reached an opioid settlement with Kroger. Yeah, according to the AG, Arkansas is going to get It looks like $13,535,086 as part of a $1.3 billion settlement being awarded to 30 states.

He said this settlement is due to Kroger's role in the opioid crisis. Opioid addiction continues to be a scourge in Arkansas and our nation. He said, I'm pleased with this settlement as the funds will go to opioid abatement. I didn't know Kroger could write scripts for opioids. That was my confusing in it. The payout to Arkansas. Why are they getting anything? Yeah, it'll be completed through 11 payments spanning to 2034.

Now, Kroger is required to monitor, report, and share data about suspicious activity related to opioid prescriptions. The settlement comes as Arkansas saw an influx of opioid units between 2006 and 2014, with Arkansas having the blank highest opioid prescription rate in the nation. Shocker. Which one? No, what highest? Oh, second. That is correct. The second highest in the nation. Shocker. Not really. Which one? No, what highest? Oh, second. That is correct. The second highest in the nation.

Second highest in the nation. Second highest in the nation. Poor little Arkansas. Okay, so was Kroger not required to report these suspicious things? Because I know that I can't buy Sudafed without an ID. Right. I don't know how that, you know, of course, you're going back to 06. I don't know why I'm questioning anything Arkansas does.

But it was surprising to me to see Kroger. They must have been really egregious about it. I mean, like, I don't know how egregious. Because to your point, they can't write prescriptions. Yeah. So why did they get any money? Why are there not people? Well, I would think the doctors should be held most accountable.

Yes, thank you. They should be held most accountable yeah uh because it just became way too easy to prescribe them and then when everybody including especially the manufacturer who also got sued uh everybody knew that addiction was going out of control and they just kept prescribing it prescribing yeah and uh so yeah that's why you see those videos where people just look like they go to sleep mid-motion like a zombie somewhere you know many of those yeah yeah it's crazy and it is crazy to see and apparently uh very very very very difficult to uh stop your dependence on it it is it is. It is one of the most heartbreaking things to witness in recovery is those trying to recover from opioid addiction. I remember we used to, I mean, meth used to be just the hardest thing to get off of and whatnot.

And now it's the opioids. And beyond that, it's, you know, because to get off of off of them you know you got methadone or they want people to go completely cold turkey now they're not giving you do you do and i know a lot of people who have died um because when they came to the rooms of recovery they were told they couldn't do things like marijuana and i know a lot of people that have been saved uh from addiction because they they use cannabis and it's it's so wild it's so wild i heard uh now this has been you know probably uh three four years ago uh somebody had said the most nefarious thing that drug dealers have done in the past several years is that they put a smidge of fentanyl into the meth to make it more addictive. Fentanyl is being put on

damn near everything. You know it's like gluten now. All right let's see what else we've got here going on. Let's talk a little bit about this. I'm sure everybody has seen The Wizard of Oz, at least heard of it before, right? A pair of ruby slippers. We all know those. Born by Judy Garland in The Wizard of Oz is on the auction block about two decades after a thief stole the shoes, convinced they were adorned with real jewels. Wrong. The pawn shop's not taking it. Online bidding has started.

It'll continue through December 7th. Heritage Auctions in Dallas announced the news release Monday. The company received the sequin and bead bedazzled slippers from Michael Shaw. He's a memorabilia collector who originally owned it at the heart of the beloved 1939 musical. He had loaned the shoes in 2005 to the Judy Garland Museum, but that summer somebody smashed the display case, stole the slippers. They remained uncovered until 2018. uncovered until 2018. Now,

the museum is among those vying for the slippers, which were one of several pairs she wore during the filming, only four remain, but Grand Rapids, the city, raised money at its annual Judy Garland Festival. They've got $100,000 set aside to try and bid on them and

win them this year. The man who stole them terry john martin was 76 when he was sentenced to time served because of his poor health he admitted he used a hammer to smash the glass and uh what the attorney said was an attempt to pull off quote one last score after an old associate with connections to the mob told him the shoes had to be adorned with real jewels to justify their insured value of a million dollars no oh that was a mistake yeah yeah sometimes you can't believe the people you think you can believe that had to be very disappointing to uh you know steal the shoes and then find out, yeah, they're just regular shoes.

Yeah, you're just going to get arrested if you keep these. That's the only thing that's going to happen. Well, how long did he keep them? I don't know how long he kept them. I mean, they were gone for a while. Yeah, I was going to say, I thought, yeah, like two years. I mean, I feel like once you put your hands on them, you'd know. Oh, yeah, you're going to know.

What are you going to do then, though? I mean, you put them on the side of the road. Yeah, I mean, mail them. Drop them at the library box. Yeah. I'm not mailing them, I're going to know. What are you going to do then, though? I mean, you put them on the side of the road. Yeah, I mean, mail them. Drop them at the library box? Yeah. I'm not mailing them, I'll tell you that. Do you think he tried to click his heels when he got caught? You think what?

Did he try to click his heels? He should have. No place like home. There's no place like home. I would have at least put them on and tried. I know that. Hold on a second. I mean, I don't know if it works, but let me at least try.

Well, he got out of jail, right? So I guess it did work. To some extent. All right. Speaking of holidays and whatnot, let's get into that just a little bit. Tell me if these tips are anything good. When airports see record crowds during the holiday travel season, that can mean headaches for all the travelers

I mean, I just walk in and order. I mean, I didn't know you could. It says reserve a spot in the security line. Some airports let you reserve a spot ahead of time in the security lines.

Airports have options to reserve spots in the TSA security line. Our airport, not on that list. I was going to say, not this one. No, no, no. These tips suck, by the way. Use digital hotel keys for faster checking. Oh, shut up. I don't have control of that.

Yeah, no, it's a, the cosplay lover had originally wanted to use the doll as a prop, but began to feel attached to her.

She said, here's a picture. If you want to see, I see that. I got all these kids here. I see. And we can all see that they are obviously with different daddies because they're blonde and she's a brunette. Yeah. Something going on there. Yeah, definitely definitely true she might have stolen them babies yeah over the last year kelly octomom kind of kind of kelly's grown her collection to eight

she's spent about two grand now she used to breastfeed her younger dolls. Stop it. Stop it. She used to breastfeed her younger dolls. Now she bottle feeds them. Making milk from flour and water. That sounds very fattening. That does. That is very carbohydrate intensive and gluten as well. I was going to say

a lot of gluten for a baby. Lactose intolerant. Very carbohydrate intensive and gluten as well. I was going to say. A lot of gluten for a baby. Celiac? Lactose intolerant. She's a content creator from Long Island. Oh, I bet she is. Of course she is. I've been wanting to be a mom since I was eight. I got attached to her as if she was an adopted child.

Suddenly, I was buying clothes for her and a bed. They're comforting. I'm living my truth of the life I want as if I was buying clothes for and a bed, they're comforting. I'm living my truth of the life I want as if I was a mom. Hey, here's an idea. No, don't become a mom. Never mind. You're not living like a mom because you're not paying for any school or any real food. They don't talk back.

Yeah, they don't talk back. You're not having to take them to the doctor. If you leave them in a hot car, they don't talk back. You don't, yeah, you're not having to take them to the doctor. If you leave them in a hot car, it doesn't matter. Which could be fun if you had realistic looking babies. Just put all eight of them in the back seat and leave the window cracked with a little thing going

ah, ah. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. Yeah. Kelly came across the video in October of 2023 and bought her first doll jennifer she said i got really interested in the reborn collection as soon as i got my first toddler doll for my birthday last year is this an adult uh jennifer stands at 39 inches has her own bed in kelly's room kelly started adding to her collection this year after she made some money through

the TikTok creator fund. Thank God. Oh, thank God. Thank God for that. You know, probably breastfeeding. That's probably breastfeeding the fake baby is how she probably made that money. Kelly now has two two-year-olds. She has twins,

Molly and Anthony. And then she has Ashley, Elizabeth, Michael, and Adam. She's also planning to get a new one, Emily, this month. She said it was cool that they look like a real baby. Kelly keeps most of the dolls in cribs in the living room, but has baby Adam and Jennifer in her own room. That's a problem. She said, I make them breakfast. I get them all room. That's a problem. Yeah. She said, I make them breakfast.

I get them all dressed. I put a movie on for them. We're nearly done with a Disney marathon. They go everywhere with me. Are you serious? You want to know a good use for opioid prescriptions? Here it is. Here's a good use.

That's cold-blooded. Yeah. She said, by 7 p.m. I adjust just her meds i get them all ready for bed play some songs on the ocarina whatever that is uh she has a double stroller and uh takes it in turn to take the dolls out with her to parks and restaurants she does want to adopt her own kids, but is currently, you ready? Struggling to find work. Well, I'm shocked by this turn of events. I mean, how could a nurturing mother of eight not find a job? I mean, who wouldn't want to have her?

Well, I mean, she could do OnlyFans or porn like Octomom did. Octomom says she regrets that. She doesn't even do it anymore. Yeah, she does say that now yeah now uh she said i lost count on how many clothes i bought for them how is she paying for them yeah but what are you well she's a creator yeah okay okay maybe she's on only fans yeah she needs well she needs a job and she spent two grand on clothing. So is she getting assistance for these eight kids? Do you mean like WIC?

WIC. You know, let me just say this. Let me go a different route kind of along that way because I think we've learned in this world now that everybody's a little different, right? And for example, you may, while having been born biologically as a man, you might identify as Frida, the house cleaner. I don't know, you know. What if she identifies as a mom? Don't they have to take her seriously? Don't they have to give her a wick or whatever it may be?

No, she has to. Why? She identifies that way? Because she does not have a human. She doesn't have the social security numbers for those children. They want social security numbers. Yes. Oh, okay.

You have to have social security numbers. In other words, if they had social security numbers, the hospital would gladly treat them and make the money. Probably. Yeah. Or couldn't you find a Nigerian to get you some social security numbers? Probably. Yeah. What are this lady's chances of finding a human that wants to mate with her?

That's what I was thinking. She don't have no man in her life. Well, no, that's clear. Couldn't she just get a dog? Can she get a man in her life. Well, no, that's clear. Can she just get a dog? Can she get a man in her life? A real one, not a dog? Probably not. No?

You think carrying around eight babies in strollers and cribs and stuff that are fake is a problem? Yeah, that's a hard one. Yeah. What do you think, Mike? Is that a tough, you know, you meet a girl, you go to the club, man, she seems really into you. You know, she's grinding. She's got a hot body. She's got some big, you know, chesticles.

And she's like, yeah, why don't you come back to my crib? Right? Go back out to her car and they're all sitting. No, no, no. What? No, but no, no. She said, you know, I got kids, but they got a babysitter. They'll be in the other room.

You're like, okay. And you get there and there are all these cribs in the living room with fake babies in them are you staying oh wow he's a man no he's late at night you said probably not yeah i mean well i'm staying and then leaving see this is the difference overlook the kid see this is where something's wrong with my brain. Because if I'm single, I'm like, listen, this chick's crazy. This is about to be good. This is about to be real good right here. Yeah.

I will never give her my real phone number. I'm going to. It's a one and done. I promise you that. I mean, it's all fine until she wants to make you some flower water, you know, post-coitus. Because that's all she's got to eat. As soon as she's done, she's going to bring the littlest baby and go, look, honey.

It's your new daddy. It's your new daddy. No. I'm not daddy. Call him Uncle Patrick. No, you don't. You call me Don. He's an imbecile.

He's our imbecile now. Patrick and the people. All right. Hey, be sure and add us on our social medias.

Don't think that we're not. And we got lots of good stuff coming your way. Got a hell of a Friday show, it looks like, once again, lined up. Of course, we'll have the rant Friday morning. We're going to have John Reap and Dick Colligan

So, I mean, that's a lot going on, and maybe by then, if we're lucky, we'll see if the wheel of pain starts then or not. I'm working on the wheel. Okay. Okay. I was going to say, because the TENS machine. No, no.

It's the labor inducer. I'm sorry. The labor inducer. The ground leveler. Yeah. Yeah. What Demanda. Demanda.

What Demanda next to me wants to do is hook me up to this simulated labor machine so I have to do the show while in labor. He acts like that wasn't his idea. I mean, it was my idea to get the period cramp simulator. He's the one that said he should wear it during the show. I think it was a fabulous idea it is a fabulous idea but i mean i want to be humble and know that you know y'all to know that i i didn't come up with that whatever yeah whatever whatever whatever it's charged it's primed it's ready to go that is oh is it really yeah oh wow yeah i almost brought it this morning

So the wheel of pain, as the name implies you know you've seen prize wheels fun yeah so on these wheels you can write in different things so we're going to write all these different things that uh could be done and perpetrated to me on me uh this is one of them see that's one of those, here, for you just listening, that could be my ass. This is those sticks, I guess, in China or wherever, when they cane you and whoop you. Yeah.

You know what I mean? You see how they're all separated on? Yeah, it's pretty bad. It looks like a samurai. Yeah, I don't think so. I don't think so. I don't think that would work out very well. But, yeah, so Friday's going to be another hell of a show, man. We've just got everything going on. don't think so i i don't think so i i don't think that would work out very well uh but yeah so

I guess he was in a cooler waiting for all his bills to be settled. All his, you know. They couldn't bury him until they figured it out, like the Jacksons don't have any money? Janet couldn't scratch out a few grand?

I guess not. She's not. I mean, I don't know. But, you know, he died in September, didn't he? Yeah, he moved to Oklahoma. And they just now buried him. Yeah, they just now buried him. Man, I would think he'd have frostbite by then.

I'm shocked to hear this. Did you ever play Pitfall?

Was it kind of Indiana Jones? Yes. That was always my favorite one to play on Atari. Mutant League Hockey on Sega Genesis. Yeah, because you just killed the other team, and they had to forfeit because they had not enough players. I mean, we'd just smoke weed out of the trailer and of course Mario and you know yeah I mean what about yourself Mike were you a gamer at all yeah yeah Yeah. Yeah. Right. Played punk. Uh-huh. Started off there and went up to Atari and Genesis. Yeah, yeah.

Now, I certainly played all of those. My friend of mine, who was more middle class than we were, we really weren't. We were poor class. He was middle class. He had an Atari. And I thought that was the coolest damn thing in the world. Oh, yeah. To play Atari, man.

And now I look at it and I laugh because, well, it's terrible. But it was amazing then, you know. What about you, Ronnie? Oh, yes. I got my ass whooped one night by my mom. So a friend of mine, a friend of mine, he would come over on the weekend to another friend's house. And he'd come over with the Atari. And 9 o'clock, I should be at home.

It's 3 in the morning, and I'm playing this ping pong type game. Yeah, pong, yeah. Yeah, I couldn't get away from it. But I knew I should be home, which I only lived like several blocks down the road. Did your mom know where you were? Well, she did. But, you know, several blocks down the road. Did your mom know where you were? Well, she did, but, you know, mom, her word is her word. Right, right.

No, she just gave you the rope to hang myself. Oh, yeah. But the Atari took over, and I had to play it. You were an Atari head. I was. Okay. But I actually got. Now, did you ever play actual stand-up arcade games? Yes.

What was your favorite? Galaga. Galaga, me too, man. My mom actually whipped me outside the 7-Eleven because I wouldn't stop playing the game. No, I got whooped everywhere. There was nowhere off limits for a whooping to happen. Yeah, no, I got yanked up in grocery stores and everywhere else.

Yeah, back then there was no stand or anything any of y'all been to where vortex and sherwood i you know what i've heard about it and i'd love to go there that's it's really nice and they do or they did i don't know if they still do it i'm guessing they do um donkey kong championships they would do really yeah they would do competitions and they have stand up arcade games. They've got, you know, all the old console games and everything. Moth Wind, is it Moth Wind? Filmed a video there that had my kid and one of his friends and me in it, a music video. That's cool.

It was really, really cool. But that's a cool place to be. Yeah, now that sounds like a lot of fun to go do that. You know, I've always loved video games, and I thought it was cool when you started seeing some of these arcades come back up because, man, there was almost nothing higher on the list of things that I wanted to do at 13, 14 years old than get a pocket full of quarters and go play video games. Yeah. Go up to the golden nugget or whatever the arcade was at the time and play games for hours, man. Can I give you a fun fact I heard this

morning on the way in about video games? Absolutely. That they say it's the surgeon who plays video games that makes them 26 better at being a surgeon. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I did hear about it. But it makes our kids stupider. Well, no, it doesn't. It doesn't. I know.

Mike, little doggy, said, you're the reason I hate Mario Kart. Couldn't even get all the way around the damn track. Hey, I'm sorry, boss. I'm sorry. I'm not a nice person at times. My 12-year-old son's very into Call of duty right now that's what mindy said the new call of duty or the older ones i know they just had a brand new one come out uh is that what it is six yeah have you played it no mortal

That's a lot of fun. That's a good game. Let's see. My brother and I would play Mortal Kombat a lot.

Yeah, no, a lot of people played Mortal Kombat a lot. I mean, it was one of the biggest selling games of all time. And you know what? It was very controversial at the time because it was violent. Obviously, you're ripping the spine out of someone. But it was cartoon violent. But everyone was losing their mind about it, all the parents were. You mentioned that Donkey Kong championship.

I wonder how many people realized that Mario came from Donkey Kong. Right. That's where Mario and Luigi came from. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. He was throwing barrels. They had to jump over them. Y'all remember, and I think they're still doing this, but, you know, around Christmas

time and everything, like Walmart or, you know, Sharper Image or what's that other one? Not Bed Bath & Beyond, but they'll come out with these tabletop arcade games. Oh, yeah. Live your nostalgic, you know, childhood and da-da-da-da no childhood and go back to retro yeah well you know you can man these days you can go to almost any walmart best buy whatever and they've got for 20 30 bucks you can get one of those things that play 17 billion games i've got one uh and i thought when we got it that i would play it all the time yeah i just thought i'd play it all the time i don't ever turn it on, to be honest with you.

I played it for a couple days. I played some of the old games. It was fun. And then I was like, these graphics really suck. And I don't want to play it anymore. Good morning, Latasha. I've got three of them at home. So they were in a box.

Yeah. Sonic on Sega. What is Magnavox Odyssey? I don't know. I think that was a game player. Yeah, I remember. It doesn't even be made up. Yeah.

Yeah, Lil Doggy said, Far Cry destroys all other first-person shooters. You may be right. I don't know. Far Cry is pretty good. Yeah. Breadbreaker Gaming said, love Tekken. Yeah. Tekken Tag, I loved don't i don't know

why it's it's it's close to the like the video games when i was a kid it plays that style and i think that's why i liked it so much and plus i just like things where you can whoop ass yeah we don't want to kind of like how we've not brought up any like madden or fifa or any of that stuff like it's all been these yeah other. Well, I mean, that's all cool stuff. Man, I remember having the little Coleco touchdown game. It was about this big. It had a little dot on it, and you just try to get your dot to the other end.

Yeah, you had four chances to do it. I remember those. I don't even know if it really worked. It was just fun. This was not a video game, but it was probably my favorite game in high school because it was on my phone. The Drug Lord or whatever. Did nobody else play this?

Oh, wait. I do vaguely remember that. Yeah, you'd be a drug dealer on your phone. Yes, I do remember when that came out. Does anybody remember the name of that like post in the comments on yeah please do i remember i remember being in high school being a real drug dealer and a fake drug dealer like i was making at the same time yeah well my pager was for the real drugs and my phone and you know i got two phones i had two pagers. It was the 90s.

Yeah, that is the 90s. And a pay phone. A pager, for God's sake. All right. Easy was probably the worst game, Joel, with you on that one. Yeah. It was right up there with Asteroids. That was...

You like Asteroids? No, I just remember... I get so mad at that game. I was like, this sucks, man. So does Missile Command, for that matter. Agreed. Frogger was good, though. I did like Frogger.

Didn't we, isn't that like Crossy Road now or whatever? I don't know what they call it. Frogger, yeah. Frogger. It's the same damn thing. They made an actual TV game show called Frogger. They did. I'm not watching that.

She's in rice. Yeah. Here, let's get to this, shall we? I know you're all excited to hear it anyway. got a copy or a clone of any previous bit but if you think so hey we don't give a shit yeah yeah wackadoo then the news see it grows on you now you're starting to sing it and it's a problem for you isn't getting shirts we're getting shirts Yeah, definitely getting shirt. All right, let's get to the dumb things that are going on here. Okay, so Morgan Mullins of Gill, Colorado, has a pet pig named Strawberry.

She calls the love of her life. Recently, Strawberry found a stash of beer left in the garage and helped herself to it. A video on TikTok shows Mullins's partner surveying the damage the empty beer cans and most importantly a pickled strawberry that can barely walk a straight line after drinking an extensive quantity of fat tire ale since the video was posted over two million people took the time to see what a hammered pig looks like. Hey-oh! Can I tell you what sadly went through my head? An OnlyFans page?

No. No, that's always in my head. No, I was like, I wonder what that bacon would taste like with that fat towel hair there. Are they even making fat tire anymore? Is this like super old expired beer? Could be. Could be. Ew.

Okay. A video posted on social media shows a neon green Cybertruck, a Cybertruck driving vigilante, chasing down and ramming a package thief. The truck was being rented by Stephen Phelps, who posted on Facebook how he's about to find out how good Turo's insurance is. I like your style, bro. Yeah, no, I do like that. Phelps said his tenant saw a porch pirate running to his car with the renter's package. In the Cybertruck, the driver sprung to action, chased the thief down, sandwiched his vehicle between him and a tree.

Phelps said the rental was costing him $800 for a Friday to Monday rental. Not clear if the insurance would cover the damage. Well, I don't know. I don't know. You know, that package better be damn important, I'll tell you that. Yeah, it probably was his drugs. Probably buy it again with the $800 he spent. Could be the, what do they call it, the drugs that aren't really drugs that you can buy.

You know what I'm talking about? Delta-8? Well, things like that. There's like websites like mysteriousplants.com. Oh, yeah, yeah, no, absolutely. Where you can buy the impersonator drugs or whatever they are. Yeah, yeah. If you're into that.

I'm not, but you might be. No, no. I'm an adult. No, no. If I'm going that. I'm not. No. Yeah. I'm an adult. No, no. If I'm going, I'm going real. I don't like synthetic. Artificial intelligence can do a lot of things, but winning crossword puzzle contest, not one of them. Oh, really?

Shocker. Guardian hosted their own crossword puzzle solving competition featuring an AI contestant represented as a coffee drinking dog named Ross and a few human competitors. Ross is also the AI presence on the crossword genius smartphone app. At the end of the competition, the human reigned supreme. Ross gave up. Ross gave up. Yeah, the AI gave up. Like his namesake. Yeah, right? A young English woman found out she'd been duped. Shocker. And the Lord she thought she was about to marry was a scammer.

Was he Nigerian? No, not in this case. Megan Clark, 27-year-old bar manager on the Isle of Wight. That's W-I-G-H-T. She was swept off her feet when Lord Bertie Underwood. Really? Lord Bertie Underwood. Yeah.

First of all, no on that name. We're not going anywhere. I can't do it. I'm sorry. I'm not going to. Bertie? No. No.

Underwood claimed to be a descendant of the owner of the underwood typewriter company and appeared to clark to be a modern day aristocrat within five months he talked her into moving in with him becoming his wife she quit her job then the truth started to come out when the mail started coming to the house with a name other than his. Now, he said, oh, that's a previous tenant. Why would there be a previous tenant, Lord? Don't you own it? Well, and where were they living? I mean, he's a Lord.

Right. They'd be living, you know. Somewhere very nice, right? Somewhere very nice. Then there was his office, which was filled with credit cards and other people's names. Uh-oh. From there, Clark went to Google and found all those names were aliases of Robert Majewski, a convicted fraudster

who looked very similar to Lord Bertie Underwood. This all happened just two weeks before they were to be married, but not before she learned that he'd already put her 40 grand in debt and she couldn't even sell her engagement ring because guess what it was fake oh yeah it was fake wow what a dupe man that's a that's a tough one right there yeah

lord birdie underwood look out for him ladies yeah a jet blue passenger by the name of uh kiera quinones is suing the airline after allegedly fracturing a tooth on a frozen solid ice cream sandwich served on her August 20th flight from New York to France. According to her lawsuit, she endured pain, suffering, and mental anguish from the strawberry shortcake dessert made by Nightingale Ice Cream, which she claims led to a root fracture and required immediate medical treatment on landing. The lawsuit said she had to have her damaged tooth extracted and replaced with an implant. Christopher Frazier argues JetBlue is at fault for serving food at a temperature below what's reasonable or safe. I feel like there's something already wrong with your tooth.

I feel like there's something already wrong with your tooth if there's I feel like maybe before you bite down on it you kind of check it and make sure I mean who just bites down on anything you would hit it on the table I mean you can feel it

you can feel it yeah I mean look at it you, on this basis, a bit of honey should be sued every Halloween. You know how hard that is to get to?

And that stuff's good, man. So who's the blame? I don't know. I'd say she is. Okay. Yeah, I don't think it's their fault. I mean,

if they handed her a steak and it had a bone in it, is it their fault if she bites the bone? Well, if she bites the T-bone. Yeah. Eric Hefner, a candidate for Alaska's U.S. House seat,

has never set foot in the state, is currently serving a 20-year federal prison sentence in New York. Hefner was convicted in 2023 for making threats against public officials, submitted his application from prison to run as a Democrat in Alaska's nonpartisan primary, where he advanced to the general election after two Republicans dropped out. Despite low odds, his presence could affect the race where every vote matters. An incumbent, Mary Peltola, bid to retain the seat.

They aimed to hold on. Well, they're just going on into it. But the dude's in prison, and he's never lived in Alaska, but he might be a politician there pretty soon. But he wouldn't be any less criminal than the rest of them, would he? Maybe just more honest about it. I mean, aren't you supposed to be a resident of the state? Well, it seems like you should be.

Public official. But, you know, prison's like no man's land. You're a resident of everywhere. That is true. You know, it's like a ship. Federal prison. I can't hear you. You're not on the mic, Mike.

If it was a federal prison. Yes, that is probably true. You know, we just talked about yesterday. Was it Joe Exotic? Yeah, it was talking about how that it's just kicking it. And, you know, they get TV. They don't have any doors. You know, they're just hanging out.

Bunch of bros. Little sleepovers with his fiance. With his fiance. Yeah. Really? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Absolutely.

Yeah. We're supposed to interview him next month. I cannot wait. Really? Yeah. I'm here for that. Yeah. In prison. Joe Exotic? Yeah. We're supposed to interview him next month. I cannot wait. Really? Yeah. I'm here for that. Yeah. In prison.

Joe Exotic? Yeah. Yes. Joe Maldonado passage. Is he still gay? Yeah. Last I knew, he's got a male fiance in prison, so I assume he is. Yeah.

I think he still likes the sausage. I don't think he's ever wavered from that. No, I don't believe he ever has. I think he's pretty wavered from that no i don't believe he ever has i think he's been pretty committed pretty committed to it yeah yeah i'd say he's about as gay as elton john's banana hammock jonathan rinaldi a gop candidate for the new york state assembly known as the sperminator due to his many children from sperm donations, was arrested at a Queens polling station yesterday. Ironic, he's at a polling station.

Police said he was shouting, baby killers, while holding a campaign sign for himself, disrupting voters, ignoring officers' requests to stop. He's fathered 18 kids. He was issued a harassment summons. Queens Republican Party chairman criticized his behavior saying, look, he's out of control. We don't support him. It's a shame he acts this way, maybe to get attention. You think? Yeah. Shocker. Y'all best watch the 18 kids growing up. Oh, you know those kids are already, they've got CDC numbers issued already.

They're just waiting to put them on without a doubt. Okay, let's go here then. A two-headed turtle, because you need to know about that. They're adorable. Yeah. Slow and heady. That wins the race. That's what she said.

A two-headed turtle in Jersey being held a miracle after beating the odds and surviving past infancy despite its deformity. He said, I'm going to do what it takes to keep these guys happy and alive. This is Joe Marina, probably getting a lot of attention from the two-headed turtle here. So he decided he'd be up for the challenge. He said, obviously, I had to take him. He explained that raising the unique creature was difficult given to the low birth and survival rates it can't be that difficult it's a turtle

it's a turtle give it food you put some lettuce in front of it it eats it it doesn't clean its thing yeah you get a toothbrush on the shell yeah i mean let's not let's not make this more than it is it's not rocket you got a two-headed turtle and you're lucky and that's it end of story bye at least you don't have a squirrel yeah right oh man story anymore no man nobody has no it is not too soon poor peanut yeah peanut yeah that is the name in that peanut yeah i think i've got that that story uh to talk about um let's go with uh uh, from Gil, Colorado. Oh no, we did that one. Uh, okay. Then we're done. I'm done with it. That's it. Yeah. Let's do something different. Life hack, bullhorn fart amplifier. Give me that bullhorn. Hey, here you go. Yeah. I don't want it back. Patrick and the people. All right. Let's do something else here.

And yeah, this is a good one right here. And it's something that I think is kind of interesting. If you think your youth makes you bulletproof to aging, your office chair might disagree. A new study suggests millennials' sedentary lifestyles are accelerating their biological clock. The research reveals that millennials spend more than 60 hours a week sitting between commutes, computer work days, and evening spent streaming content. Researchers warn that extended sedentary behavior might increase your risk of, well, all kinds of bad things, right? sedentary behavior might increase your risk of, well, all kinds of bad things, right?

The concerning finding from research conducted by scientists at University of Colorado Boulder and University of California Riverside, you can bet they got the good weed. The study examined over 1,000 or former current Colorado residents, including 730 twins, Current Colorado residents, including 730 twins, making it one of the first comprehensive investigations into how prolonged sitting affects key health measures. The findings were striking. Striking. Those who sat for longer periods showed higher cholesterol and BMI, even when meeting the minimum recommended physical activity guidelines of about 20 minutes a day. meeting the minimum recommended physical activity guidelines of about 20 minutes a day so it says simply put the more someone sat the older their body appeared in terms of the health markers yeah yeah you think we've known this yeah so we just used to call it secretary's ass in the old days yeah you know what i mean you know what it is when you see it. You do. You do. Is it?

This is probably not a suitable topic. I'll be honest with you. But you ever want to know? No. You ever see sometimes you want to the ladies who they have a real. I don't want to use the word normal, but what appears to be an average upper torso. But the bottom seems to explode in width. Yes.

And you're like, how does that work? That's like a centaur. You know, I can't understand how that, you know what I'm talking about? I do know. I do know. Yeah. Of course you know. Rhino.

Yeah, no, I've never understood how that works. I mean, how do you even work out? I mean, you don't want to lose in the top but you need it on the bottom can you just do a bottom work yeah you can it's called cardio it's cardio that's what it is to do that i mean it's cardio i don't like cardio at all maybe one of those fancy light you know red light treatments or whatever that they do. What? Have you seen? I did it back in the day where they put infrared lights on you and vibrate you.

And it's in it. What? What are you talking about? It's supposed to zap the fat inside. Really? Yeah. And then you go stand on a shaker like they had in the 70s, 80s. And it's supposed to, you you know help it kind of break up and everything and then you pee it out pee and poo it out i guess okay all right a lot going on

there shake it up and poop it out well listen uh let's uh talk about this for a second if you need a heat and air unit hvac maybe you got a problem with your air unit uh heat unit not the time for that it's about to be real cold. Listen, call Cabot Mechanical. You can go to cabotmechanical.com. David Lindsay over there. I love the dude. I told the story yesterday.

okay you have ronnie my brother lives there he lives there now yeah how many times three years i've been there a couple times. I used to drive there a lot. Yeah? Yeah. To pick up stuff. Okay. Oh, I see.

To pick up stuff. You have been there? Mm-hmm. It was in the 90s. It was in the 90s? Yeah. Was it way different then than now, I guess? I'm sure.

Yeah, it was way different. I'm sure. Okay. Yeah. Okay. All right. Okay. All right. Well, in San Francisco, demand is through the roof for sleeping pods that cost $700 a month. Brownstone Shared Housing is a startup based out of what used to be a downtown San Fran bank.

Now, for 700 monthly rental fees, tenants receive a sleeping pod that measures 3.5 feet by 4 feet by 6.5 feet, does have internet, utilities, and access to a shared bathroom and kitchen. The company says they've now got 17 beds left empty and 300 applications for them. City officials have flagged the company for unauthorized conversion of an office building. New tenants aren't currently being allowed, though current tenants can stay. They're awaiting confirmation of its latest approval application, which was submitted in July. $700. For a month. A month.

For a space that you could take a nap and surf the internet and share bathrooms and share bathrooms yeah i mean that sounds like i i maybe maybe people who come to town to work for a few days and then go back home or something like that you think that's what that's for i thought it had been made out in the streets well i thought it was to to maybe control the homeless population. You think that's what it is? You know, most of the homeless guys I know don't have $700. I was going to say.

And it doesn't matter if they've got access to Wi-Fi. Yeah, I don't think they're looking for Wi-Fi all that much, not the ones that... Maybe, I don't know. Maybe they are. I don't know. I mean, it is a new era. Yeah.

Yeah, you know, but $700 seems like a lot. I did see that they've... I mean, homeless people's got telephones. Yeah. Well,, but 700 seems like a lot. I did see that they've. I mean, homeless people's got telephones. Yeah. I mean. Well, they do now. Yeah. You're right.

You're right. I saw they started building or they've started the process of building that tiny home village in Little Rock. So those pods, is there a lease agreement for those or do they go month to month? Here they are. Here's a picture of them, by the way. Wow. Yeah, because that's real effing secure and safe.

Hey, it's where you can take a nap. I didn't say the word. It's where you can take a nap, yo. I wouldn't be able to sleep with just a curtain across the thing protecting me from whatever else is out there. It doesn't. I can't see here whether they have a lease or not, but maybe it's month to month. Or week to week.

Well, it looks like a place you'd pay hours. I was about to say. I mean. You know, I could see that. I could see that. I could see the business ladies using it as an office. Yeah, that looks like Thailand or, you know. Yeah.

Would you say that could be used by those ladies as an office? Absolutely. Yeah. I mean, $700 for the day. Well, they can write it off on their taxes. Well, yeah. And you spend $700 for the day, right? Let's say you have 10 Johns.

And you make $70. That's $70 a pop. Ooh. You know, I mean, you may have to do a few johns and you make 70 that's 70 bucks a pop you know i mean you may have to do a few more maybe you need 20 johns 35 a pop yeah i don't know what you're doing yeah i mean i don't know if you're doing half and half if you're doing the full thing i don't know exactly what that even means if you're running a special yeah you could be like a holiday special yeah yeah like you, you know, Christmas special or Thanksgiving. Oscars are going on, you know. Yeah, that's true.

The Oscars, you always get a Christmas special. It's like when they're talking about with the RNC, you know, grinder crashing. Oh, yeah. You know, I mean. Yeah, I'm sure. Maybe. It could be. I don't know.

Yeah, I think there's some business applications for this. San Francisco just wants more of the money. That's what they haven't gotten enough of yet is the money in it. All right.

Tell me about that song. It's just rock and roll. It's about the last four years of my life being let down. And today I woke up a new man and I'm pretty happy about that. All right. So the letdown is the name of that track. Yeah. All right. So tell us about how did you get started in music, Jeremy? My cousin brought up, my uncle brought over a guitar and I was clicking around on that sucker.

And he said, man, either you're going to play with that thing or you're going to play it. And I said, what the hell is that? Yeah. Well, I figured out what that meant. I got you. I got you. I got you. So how old were you when you started playing?

About eight. About eight years old. Yeah. Acoustic guitar, I assume? Yeah. Yeah. Now, what's I assume? Yeah. Yeah. Now what's your active choice these days? What's your favorite guitar to play? Well, I've been building guitars. Nice. Strapping them together. Oh yeah. Finding like

cheap Ibanez's on the internet and decking them out even more Duncan pickups yeah kind of tricking them out yeah so you kind of custom build your own guitars yes I do got some high dollar guitars but they have done nothing but fail me yeah yeah I've got a probably a five $5,000 Gibson TVO. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. Well, yeah. To a degree.

To a degree. Try to be reasonable about it. How about that? To a degree. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Let's get some sponsors. No.

No, there get some sponsors. No. No, I don't want to believe sponsors. Um, so tell me, uh, you've been playing all that time. What, what all have you done?

Where all have you played? Tell us about some of the experiences, man. When I was, before I was married, I played all around Little Rock, Vino's, Juanita,

Whitewater. When I got married, I didn't play anymore I played in my garage yeah how many people would show up there? just none really they would close the doors yeah no that happened to me too

yeah so okay the way we kind of instrument our music is I play a drummer and a bassist. And they come in and we do a YouTube track. And then we don't even see each other in the studio. Yeah.

So in other words, you write the track. You've got some session performers that do what you wrote and work the song with you there. Yeah, me and the producer will kind of finish it out. Okay, okay. Yeah, blue chair. Now, if you were going to describe your current album, how would you describe it?

Tell us about it, what it's about, as far as the type of music, the style, what you're hearing. If you like any type of 90s grunge music you'll love this new album yeah yeah now we i assume that you're a big fan of 90s grunge then yeah i mean that's what i grew up on so it uh naturally took effect over my whole writing yeah uh you know the grunge really changed music altogether uh when it came in. You know, it was a huge shift in the musical universe. But, you know, among the greatest grunge acts, of course, I guess Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains.

Do you like all of them? Do you have a vocalist or artist in particular from that era that you love the most? Well, Alice in Chains is great. Man, y'all are going to smash me for this. or artist in particular from that era that you love the most well allison change was great um man y'all are gonna smash me for this uh smashing pumpkins was a good one absolutely real big for a long time yeah his vocal like when i listen to it now i'm like oh man you know he didn't but something about when you were younger and you heard that, you know, Today song, I mean, it was like gold. You never heard anything like that in your life.

And, I mean, he's a really underrated, talented guitar player. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, he's too underrated. Okay. I mean, that dude can shred a guitar. Yeah. You're talking about corrigan yeah yeah

billy corgan yeah yeah he shredded his hair too apparently yeah we well we all do that yeah well i understand i understand yeah yeah yeah so uh have you had occasion to play with any big stars before that uh were big moments for you? No. No? Not yet? No, no, no. I've met a couple people. Yeah? It was... Evan Rosdale from Bush, Zach Wild. Oh, Zach Wild, that's cool. Yeah. I've hung out with them guys. I used to, when I was living downtown in Little Rock, you'd run into a couple of people that came into the shows. They were Revis. You remember those old school bands? Sure.

You would definitely run into them and meet them every time they would come into Little Rock. Right, right, right. Yeah, bands like Clutch and this and that. You know, that they came through. What was the one? Egypt Central, right? That was a big band back then. Actually, that band itself has emerged big time.

And I actually want to get a couple guys in on the show because those guys now from Egypt Central. See, he's been here like 10 minutes. He already knows, Ronnie. Yeah. You 10 minutes. He already knows, Ronnie. Yeah. You understand that? He already knows. But Egypt Central is actually some forms of the power today. Yeah.

And probably evil now. Yeah, yeah. Okay, okay. Now, Ronnie, how did you guys get connected up? I've been knowing Jeremy, what, close to 20 years? Something like that. Yeah, something like that. So it started in the car business with us okay i was in i was in one unit uh playing with dark from day one yeah and he was doing his thing so uh we met on superior dodge car lot years ago yeah so the car business is what pays for my hobbies okay so what

tell me about that i uh started with uh online photography taking pictures of their cars and well they wasn't getting online fast enough so i was like man they're all dirty i said man i'll just i'll create a detail company too yeah you know double dip in there and uh it actually works out perfect because now i have control from the car from the time it's traded in yeah so you come in you you wash it down then you take photos of it and i'm done with it and that that's it. That's your business model is I come to your dealership. I clean all your cars. I take photos for you. And then there you go. Yeah, that's it. Okay. So, and you work with quite a few dealers? Yes. 17 dealerships. 17? Yeah. Wow. Now if you've got 17 dealerships, that's quite a few cars. Yeah. How many a day do you see? Just one maybe?

a few cars yeah how many a day do you see just one maybe me well i mean your company how many uh oh uh we go through shit i mean as far as hill ronnie works with me he does 40 by himself cars a day and a day well he runs he runs them through the tunnel okay so and then we got detailing going on and then we got uh service washing then we got uh people taking pictures so roughly so you got a whole really you got a team of folks yes yeah 30 30 people oh really about 30 people that work for you well that's pretty amazing man yeah and you've been doing that how long you said uh built it 15 years and coming 15 years wow that that is great man to be able to employ that many this past year has been the hardest year yeah 23 and 24 i can understand that you know we we talk a lot about it uh car prices have just gone through the roof oh yeah and you know new cars uh the average we just

said the other day is 47 000 for a new car that's the average price yeah 47 that's just him trying to make their money back from when uh it was really skyrocketing in i think 23 yeah yeah no it was crazy then no in 23 i remember remember that folks were having trouble buying used vehicles. The used car lots were so depleted that they weren't even selling off their used inventory. They were just keeping it. Yeah. They still got it. Yeah.

So, 23 and 24 were worse than, like, COVID years? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Definitely. Yeah, because people had COVID money during COVID they did they got the covid money and they a lot of them bought vehicles you know because you had those different things going on uh uh i know look my son he was in nashville uh when when all the lockdown popped off and he was getting unemployment that was more than he ever made in his entire life and he was getting like because they had given an additional stipend on

top of it so he was getting like 700 a week he made like 35 grand sitting on his ass in nashville you know and i was like wow that's so, a lot of people were buying vehicles, doing stuff like that because they were getting the extra money and not driving everywhere, you know. Gotcha. Yeah. So, anyway, so you've been doing it for a long time now, man. For a little bit, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It gets tough sometimes, you know, but, you know, sometimes you lose some accounts and you'll have some big wigs coming there that you've had from another dealership that runs their stuff their way. And then they'll want to bring in, you know, their guys. Right, right. So it's a ruthless battle that I do fight with, you know, keeping it. Yeah, I can understand. There's always somebody coming in. Always somebody coming behind.

Yeah. No doubt about it. Well, I'll do that it for a hundred dollars i'll do them all for a hundred dollars well you know they'll get through four of them yeah yeah no it's how the hell are you gonna pay anybody sometimes you know you pay a little bit more you get a lot more that's the bottom line that's that's my motto absolutely uh jeremy uh if people want to download your album uh or your music what's the quickest way to do it man it's on everything spotify amazon apple music itune anywhere you can search for music my music yeah so uh you can just look up rad relic or you can go over right now to our social media, and we've got a link right there to Rad Relic so that you can check out Jeremy's music

Yes. The Grinch is very high on my list. Especially Jim Carrey. You didn't like the Jim Carrey Grinch? No, it was good. No, absolutely it was good. Yeah. I think he probably... Jim Carrey is just really, really good,

especially with the full character immersion. I just, yeah. I thought he should have got an Oscar for that, but that's me. I'm with you. Yeah, that would be so fun. Mm-hmm. Oh, my God, Jim Carrey,

and he could come dressed as the Grinch. Oh, my, come on, man. Sorry. Yeah, I don't have as much chance of that as that. Never mind. The National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, number three. Oh my, come on, man. Yeah. Yeah. I have as much chance of that as that. Nevermind. Uh, the national lampoons, Christmas vacation.

Number three. Absolutely. Now that absolutely don't know why it's not number one. It's a must every year. I mean, you have to watch it. It's a great one. Uh,

And I would honestly add to this list Scrooged. With Bill Murray? Bill Murray. You do or don't like it? I love it. Oh, you love it. I love it. I would, yeah.

I mean, I would have Christmas Vacation as number one personally, Home Alone is two, and Scrooged is three. So there's a new one that I would add onto my list and I'm trying to remember. Krampus? Oh, that's good. No, I was going to say the one with David Harbour as Santa Claus. I think

it's called... Noel? No, it's the one where they break into the house and Santa has to screw them all up. Oh yeah, where he kicks their asses. It's a pretty dope movie. No, it's the one where they break into the house and Santa has to screw them all up. Oh, yeah. Where he kicks their asses. It's a pretty dope movie. Okay, yeah. I haven't seen it.

David, because I don't know, Harper. Well, and another one of my favorites is Noel. Violent Night. Violent Night. Violent Night. Violent Night. Yeah, that movie right there it's got john leguizamo i love john leguizamo beverly d'angelo's christmas vacation uh and several other good

Okay. I don't know if there'll be a conflict. Yeah. Because there's a bunch of them. I got you. They all compete against each other. Okay. Oh, yeah.

That makes sense. So you don't want one to be mad because you're promoting one over another. So I treat everybody equal. We're just washing and getting a bunch of cars today. Yeah. You're just out doing it, baby. All over the state. Yeah. All're just out doing it, baby. All over the state. Yeah.

All right. Okay. Okay. Okay. Mike, what do you got going this week? What's big in your world this week? Nine to five and look for a three-day weekend. Three-day weekend.

So is there any MMA or BJJ? I don't keep up with it as much.

Yeah, no, I hear you. For anybody that's interested, there is a men's grappling club in Little Rock. It's in West Little Rock. It's in the Pleasant Valley Shopping Center, where Guillermo's is. The men's grappling center? Yeah. What does that mean? I mean, I know what grappling means.

Mike knows what the grappling means. Is it just wrestling training? Well, it's the Jiu-Jitsu. Oh, okay, it's Jiu-Jitsu, okay. Yeah, it's grappling, not wrestling. I just started Jiu-Jitsu three weeks ago. Yeah, how are you doing? It's the best thing that

ever happened to me one of my best in three weeks you can say that yeah what's happened in three weeks it's an addiction uh it's an instant uh adrenaline rush um it's real and you can get in there and you can eat the crap out of people in a controlled environment. That's a fair statement. My friend Nathan Kirby would probably agree with you. Nathan's been doing MMA stuff and representing for a long time. He's doing a lot of Hollywood movies now. He's big time these days. Oh, really? Oh, yeah, man.

He's in movies all the time. He was in the show with, I think it's called lioness with uh morgan used to be married to tom cruise married to keith urban nicole kidman uh yeah he said the other day he was at the uh the roach coach uh and that uh uh nicole kidman said hey to him and he goes yeah that's pretty much a banner day in my life right there i was like yeah i'd probably be pretty happy about that yeah it'd be kind of cool yeah yeah uh she was married to tom cruise for a while that was actually i don't know if most people probably didn't see i think it's called far and away yeah but it was a tom cruise nicole kidman movie yeah i liked it i actually liked it no that was a good movie yeah he punched He punched a horse in it. It was better than Eyes Wide Shut.

Which is pretty, oh, Eyes Wide Shut. Oh, that's terrible. That's a crap movie. So is Vanilla Sky's Trash. I never watched, you know, I saw part of it. Really? I saw part of it. Eyes Wide Shut, man.

You like it? You like it? Yeah. Maybe I have to go back and watch it again. It seems like it was trash to me. But maybe I should go back and watch it. Dreamy. What's the best Tom Cruise movie?

Best Tom Cruise movie. Legend. Legend? Okay. We're going way back. That's a depressing ass movie. I think that's a good movie. Wait, is it Legend or not Legends of the Fall? No, Legend. Okay, that's good. I love Top Gun. Well, hell yeah you do. Did you see Maverick?

Yeah. That's good, isn't it? They did a great job on that. Amen. Amen. I liked him in The Firm. In The Firm? It was good. That's also a great movie. Yeah.

Ooh, A Few Good Men. Now that is one of my top right there. That's a really good movie. Day After Tomorrow? That's Jake Gyllenhaal. Day After Tomorrow? Day After Tomorrow. Oh, you're talking about...

You're thinking Mission Impossible, right? No, no, no, no. He's not. He's talking about... Or is there of Mission Impossible. No, no, no, no, he's not. He's talking about... Or is there another? The one where he relives it every day. Oh, yeah, that. Oh, oh, oh, yeah.

Yeah, that is a good movie, though. I know what you're talking about. Yeah. Oblivion? No. No, that's another good movie. Tom Cruise, yeah. Yeah, it'll come to me in a minute,

but that is a damn good movie. Yeah, it has Emily Blunt in it also. He keeps dealing with that. Ooh, Cocktail. You're right, Mindy. That's a good movie. No, not Cocktail, though. We used to watch that on the weekends.

We would alternate houses that we spent the weekend at. You know, I wanted to make fun of it, but I got bored, I guess, probably about three months ago when I watched Days of Thunder. It's actually a pretty good movie. It's actually pretty good. Isn't that where he met Nicole? Ricky Bobby's all based on. I don't know if it is or not.

Maybe. Their first movie together. It may have been. Edge of Tomorrow. Edge of Tomorrow. Edge of Tomorrow. Thank you. Thank you.

There you go. Yeah, that's it. Minority Report may be my top Tom Cruise movie. I do love that movie. The Samurai movie. I can't think of it right now. The Last Samurai. Yeah, The Last Samurai.

That was a great movie. What's your week like? Oh, shit. What is my week like? Well, it's going to be a lot of real estate. A lot of showings and stuff this week. That's what I've been doing. Mainly sold a house last night. Awesome yeah it's always cool you know uh to do that it's a lot of fun

i will say this i a matter of fact let me see if i can pull this up because i know i'm not supposed to have my phone but i make the rules so i can break them. You're just not supposed to have it on the table. Well, that's actually true. So where is this message? Okay. Not the one. Hold on. Bear with me because it was really cool to see yesterday because, you know, it was an impromptu question. I wasn't expecting it.

And, man, I'm not going to find it. Well, anyway, somebody had messaged me yesterday. I don't remember who the name was off the top of my head, and I'm sorry. But we were talking about the process of buying a home. And someone was asking, I think Rich was asking me yesterday, you know, how does that even, I don't even know how it works. And I got a message. The guy said, listen, I just want to thank you because

he said you literally answered almost every question I had. And, uh, really, you know, it helped me out a lot. And, um, I want to reach out to you about this. Uh, yeah, look, it's, it's not nearly as scary as people make it to be to buy a house. Um, don't, don't, don't let people intimidate you or tell you otherwise. Just call me. Just deal with me. I'll help you out. You can obviously reach me through the show. You can just call me, 575-5485. That's the number, 575-5485. That's on HIP National. That stays here all the time. You know what I mean? So you can always reach me whether you want to buy a house, sell a house, whatever. But yeah, I, I've been real fortunate because, you know,

I, I just, I listen to people, what they want and I help find what they want. Uh, that's really my only job. I'm not out to sell anything. I'll take you to a house you want to see. I'll tell you about the house, but I'm not selling you a damn thing. You can pick a house and I'll help you do it, you know, but, uh but that's how it should work. If someone's trying to, you know, push you into certain houses or certain lending products or things like that, stop the process and ask for a second opinion. Because really what a realtor does is facilitate what you need. What they're supposed to do. Yeah.

That's what their job is. Yeah. So when did you start doing the real estate thing? I started doing real estate in September of last year, actually. So has it been a gaining progress? You mean, has it incrementally grown? Yeah. Yeah, no, it has. It's gotten better. I think in the first year of September to September, I closed, I think, 21 homes. And that's at the peak. I mean, well, it's a good year.

21 is not bad. I'm trying to get to 44 this year. That's what I want, 44 to 50. But I'd love to get one a week. That's the ultimate. If you can do one a week, but it takes a lot of work. People don't think about it. You think, oh, we just sell the house and that you can do one a week, but it takes a lot of work. People don't think about it. You think, oh, we just sell the house and that's it. No, no, no. The beginning

of the process is when you make that offer and then anything can happen. I've seen them fall out. I've seen them, you know, all kinds of different things. You can have repairs, you can have this, you can have that. There's a million and one things that happen in a home buying process. And you see all kinds of things. You can never count your chicken. Even on the day of closing, I've seen things not work out. And I've seen some that I never thought would stick, make it all the way. Yeah, I've absolutely seen that.

But I learned a long time ago when i was in the furniture business that you don't ever judge uh a book by its cover you know i remember a guy came in he had on overalls and a dirty t-shirt and a straw hat and nobody uh that wanted to talk to him uh and i said i'll take him and we walked around the store for an hour, hour and a half. All the other guys were laughing at me every time they took me. That dude at the end pulled out a wad of $10,000 cash from his overalls, slapped it down on the counter and loaded that shit up and went off. And nobody else was laughing then.

They were like, I'm an idiot. Yes, you are. I learned that at the strip club. Did you? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Your best tipper was usually a guy in overalls looking dirty or blue collar looking guy.

Whatever they had the most money. Some dude with a greasy baseball cap. Yeah. Yeah. And the guys that came in in suits or the, you know, the young. They'll cheap you out. Yeah. They were the ones throwing quarters that got knocked out with Astros.

They want the VIP treatment for a dollar. Show enough. They want to pay you after. No. Oh. Show enough. They want to pay you after. No. Uh-oh. Never after. I mean, that's not what they got from me, but, like, that's what you can do because I'm not doing that.

After. Well, I didn't want to risk getting fired. I really loved my job, so I wasn't going to risk it for a 20 handy, you know? No, I don't blame you for that. I mean, I don't even know what that is, i believe you i don't know what half and half is i don't know what any of that stuff is uh something yeah i know none of that even though you're the one that brought it up half and half that's creamer right what i put in my coffee i I believe. It is creamer. It ends in creamer. It sure as hell does.

Yeah, that's where we're going today. That's what we're doing right there. How's Becky? How's Becky doing? Becky's got crack. All right, let's do something different here before we go to the wrong place. All right. Now I'll tell you a story. Without a doubt, it's kind of 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 fork drowned in some honey. Why you laughing? Why you laughing? This shit ain't funny. What? This shit ain't funny. Funny.

This shit ain't funny. It's not. It's not funny at all. That's hilarious. A South Carolina couple and their son were sentenced Thursday for the murder of the couple's teen special needs daughter. That's right. A jury found David Boehner, 55, his wife, Bobby, Bobby Joe, I'm sorry,

45, guilty of murder, felony child abuse, unlawful neglect following a four-day trial. It started October 28th. So they were both sentenced to consecutive life in prison for murder, 20 years in prison for bodily harm and more. But the couple's son, Edward Baynard, 21, also found guilty. According to the press release, he'll serve concurrent sentences of 30 years in prison for murder, 20 for, well, just bad stuff, right? Yeah, that's terrible.

But he, hold on, says he carried a listless and responsive Heather Baynard, who was 14, a special needs child like a sack of potatoes, into the Spartanburg Regional Med Center. Said her parents were nonchalant and emotionless. She had cerebral palsy. So, I mean, how sorry of a human being are you? I mean, that's like the lowest of the low. It's hard to get much lower than that isn't it seriously for real uh all right this is a different kind of uh this

shit ain't funny but it isn't funny it'd be very frightening the northman star her name is anna taylor joy she uh hid in fear as masked men raided a home she was staying in and were attempting to make way into her bedroom. The actress was reportedly left shaken, luckily unharmed, but reporting was here. Okay, this is in North London and someone broke in. She could hear them breaking in, and she called the police, but it was going to be, you know, obviously a few minutes. They were masked men. They were knocking and banging on the door, believed that they ended up leaving empty-handed.

Yeah, well, anyway. What were they coming, yeah. Well, I don't know. I don't know if they were what they were looking for yeah the second suspect remains at large uh yeah it looks like they were actually trying to get her yeah yeah it happens in france apparently or no that was in england right didn't you say london okay i was thinking about where old Kim K got robbed and everything. I think it was. Oh, she did. Didn't she? Yeah. All right. Here's another story. That's a

loads of fun. Police got mixed up in a bereavement call to the wrong family. Yeah. Thursday on Staten Island, New York, they misidentified the victim of a car accident. Detectives arrived at the door of the family on the morning of Halloween to deliver news that a woman, 44-year-old Denise Owen, had been killed after being hit by a car. They said, I'm sorry to inform you, but your sister has been killed fatally in a car crash. This is what Owen's sister Sheila said. They flew into the sky, landed on the pavement. Their face was unrecognizable. My question was, how did you identify my sister? They said there was some sort of ID there that they were able to identify her.

Well, the sister had been afflicted by schizophrenia and was sometimes homeless. But the police made an error as she met the injury attorney to discuss suing for wrongful death. Her phone rang and the other sister said, hey, she just got home. She's fine. What? Huh? What? Sound like some Keystone cops. cops yeah sounds pretty bad there can you imagine though that you're i mean you're standing there thinking your sister just got marked and they walk in yeah

i mean i guess that's good but at the same time i'd be questioning my sanity for a second well yeah you would i mean that, that's insane right there. I can't even begin to imagine what that roller coaster was like. Yeah. Doug Peck says you're looking all suave today in your black sweater. You didn't put your. I didn't know. I didn't put my work shirt on.

Yeah, I forgot this morning. I guess I got carried away. I was too excited and forgot to switch it out. But thank you. I occasionally do look okay when I clean up. I shower once in a while. Okay, let's see what we've got here. Okay.

Oh, no, that's... Hold on, we did that one yesterday. I know I've got one more here that I wanted to do. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Oh man. You know, how would you know it wasn't real? Uh, police in Scotland are investigating how a severed head was picked up from a street by Halloween party goers who mistook it for part of a costume. halloween party goers who mistook it for part of a costume just think about that for a minute it's halloween you're like oh look at this dope ass severed head right this is the coolest thing i've ever seen it's even heavy like a head let's take this oh my god then you find out it

belongs to a 74 year old man who was hit by a bus yeah yeah yeah social, yeah. Social media videos showed people in their costumes picking up the head, thinking it was a Halloween prop. Yeah, and they started to walk down the street with it, and apparently, at the last second, realized what it was, and you see it just fly out of there. Oh! Like this. Can you imagine picking that mug up?

Oh, my God. Just give me a flashback of Tropic Thunder. Tropic Thunder. That's what I was me a flashback of Tropic Thunder. That's what I was thinking. What happened? Tropic Thunder is one of the best, probably Ben Stiller's best movie, period, in the story, don't care. But have you ever seen it? Of course I have.

Okay, so whenever the directors, yeah, and he picks it up, it's cool. Oh, blood-flavored cornstarch. I would not disagree with that being his best movie. That is a fantastic movie. It might be. I would have said previously Happy Gilmore, even though it's a cameo. But I'm not a big Ben Stiller fan. Oh, you know what?

Actually, I take that back. You know what I think his best movie might be is, what is it with? David Falkers. No, Average Joe. Dodgeball. Dodgeball. Oh, yeah. Dodgeball's high up there for me.

White Goodman. Nobody makes me bleed my own blood. Yeah, no, that's a funny, that's a great role for him. I have them both saved on my prime. But I do love Tropic Thunder for Tom Cruise, especially. Like Les Grossman. They almost made a movie about Les Grossman. They were very close.

I don't know why they didn't. I wish they had have. I've now changed my answer. That is Tom Cruise's best movie. That may be. It's so damn funny. I had seen Tropic Thunder, you know in in little speckets you know here and there and never realized until and it it took me a hot minute to realize that was tom cruise

and at the end when he's doing his dance yeah post his post credits dance and i was just like holy shit that's tom cruise yeah man and and you know to it's fun to see because that guy is such a control freak you just know it i. I mean, you distinctively know this about Tom Cruise. And he's so serious all the time. To see him absolutely go the opposite direction was so much fun because he really sold it. He says, I want you to step back and your own face. Yeah, no, that scene right there.

Yeah, that is a, man, that's a classic right there. Find out who that was. You know, he gets all the body know find out who that was for me you know that's great that's great no it is great uh matthew mcconaughey's funny everybody in that uh movie actually is really funny really really downy jr yeah oh yeah so good guy playing another guy yeah yeah playing and oh and he's talked about that movie, how that he couldn't, you know, make it now. And now that even in that time, his mom was like, you shouldn't do this. And he was like, yeah, I'm doing this. You know? That was the whole joke.

Well, it was. Yeah, absolutely it was. You know? But people don't have a sense of humor sometimes. I have not heard anything negative about that, honestly. Like, I mean. I've never heard anything. But I know at the time that it came out, some of the whiners did.

I didn't even know at that time. I didn't even know it was him. I'm late to the game. No, you're all right. I mean, it was a few years ago. Who was that young black kid in that movie with him? He's a comedian. He is.

Hannibal Buress? No. No, no. But he was also in all the Percy Jackson movies. Really? Yes, he was. He's in all the IMDb. I haven't seen any Percy Jackson movies.

I don't know what that's about. He played a mutant in Percy Jackson, didn't he? Well, in a sense, he was a Greek. Yeah, he was part goat. Yeah, he was a part goat. I don't remember. A Greek mythology. Thank you.

I'm sorry. I can't use my voice this morning. Yeah. Let me see if I can find it. He was half horse. No, he was half goat. Goat or donkey? Goat.

It was goat. Brandon T. Jackson is his name. He's in Tropic Thunder. Okay, I know who you're talking about. Yeah, he's the one he got in the argument with. Is that the theme song to the Jefferson? Yes. Don't make it not true.

Oh, good. I'm going to tag you back. Yeah. Believe that. He's like, are we good? No. I'll tell you another funny movie is um get hard with will farrell and kevin hart and and i'm you know i know some people uh fatigue of both of those guys but

man when will farrell all of a sudden starts dropping his prison threats about three quarters through the movie it's one of the funniest every single time i laugh i'm gonna put a hashtag on your ass. See how many hits it gets. That's a pretty good line. I'm going to be honest with you. Let's see. Oh, he's in Beverly Hills Cop. The new one?

I don't know. It's the 2013 Aaron Foley. Aaron Foley. Oh, he must have been in some trashy movie where he played the son. Yeah. Yeah, some crap like that. Latasha said, I love Smashing Pumpkins. 80s alternative and grunge is my favorite.

Yeah, a lot of people love grunge. Now, I'll say this. It did change the tone a lot because, you know, before that, really, if you think about it, Rock was typically pretty upbeat, pretty fun. Even in the crazy subjects it sang about, it was more fun. Van Halen. All the guys could wear makeup. Grunge came in and everybody got sad.

It was like the emoest rock. You know, it was sad. Come on. Not all of it. Which one's not? Give me a grunge song that's not sad. I'm only happy when it rains. one's not? Give me a grunge song that's not sad. I'm Only Happy When It Rains. Who is that?

Garbage. 1970. Yeah, that does not count. I do like that song. It's not all sad. Some of it's just angry and angsty. Okay, angry, angsty, sad, yeah. It wasn't about good times, drugs, and rock and roll, and sex.

That's true. It was about, oh, shit, and roll and sex that's true you know it was about oh shit my life's bad uh look i love it real man yeah i love yes red hot chili peppers was about he would just tell you around blood sugar sex magic yeah i guess that you could call that grunge if you want i guess i mean it was the era californiaunge. Yeah, maybe. But, like, I was a huge Pearl Jam fan. I'm a huge Pearl Jam fan. Soundgarden, Alice in Chains. I love all the Rage Against the Machine. I mean, most of those guys from that era I love.

I'm just acknowledging that it did change the tone of music. Yes. You know, and now you come forward to the point where you get, what was the song about? Some kind of medication. I know I'm Medicaid. It was, I mean, you're singing about the area of a dead man. Yeah, I mean, you're singing about fentanyl.

Yeah. You know? I mean, come on, they're heroin or whatever. It ain't the first one. No, not at all. Yeah, you take a look at those bands, though. They originated from a place that was so dark and gloomy. That's called Seattle.

Seattle. Yeah. And there was a lot of drug use. Well, probably. I mean, hard drug use. Yeah. Living in Seattle might make you hate yourself a little bit, you know, to be honest. Well, I mean, it's.

It's Seattle. Yeah. I mean, it rains the majority of the year. It's cloudy. I mean. All right. Who's the, who's your favorite grunge artist? Oh, um, dead or alive.

No, it's Layne Staley. That's a good one. That's a good choice. Ronnie? I was a big Cornell fan. Chris Cornell, one of the most unique voices ever.

I was a big Cornell fan. I loved Kurt, too. Audioslave. Audioslave, yeah. Audioslave's great. Because of Tom Morello's cornell fan i loved kurt too but audio slave oh god audio slave yeah well audio slave is great because of uh tom morello's guitar i mean just i don't know you like or don't like i love yeah yeah no rage against machines one of my all-time favorites uh i do love their music uh mike uh favorite grunge uh band or artist probably Chris Cornell Chris Cornell yeah yeah no great choice I also like Stone Temple Pilots a whole lot and

that guy was amazing his voice was unbelievable yeah unbelievable voice on him too yeah most of those guys are gone now aren't they yeah i mean eddie bedd are still here yeah uh lane staley's gone yeah chris cornell's gone yep kurt's gone kurt's gone uh scott wyland's gone wyland's gone yeah i mean think about it yeah uh now who's the most overrated grunge band of all time yes that is correct nirvana is correct i'm sorry that is the correct answer i know i'm gonna piss somebody off with that but yeah definitely the the most overrated i i think i liked a handful of songs by nirvana most of them i didn't love i disagree yeah it's me no it's all right you don't have to look at me like that. I feel like I took

your money for lunch. I will agree that they were probably overrated in their music in comparison to the other grunge bands. Not in their importance. I can't be overstated

their importance in the evolution of music and the emergence of grunge and all that no because they you know what they did that no one had done is chart a crazy ass hard rock uh sad ass song and uh and it blew up uh and they did have some very good songs you know i'm not saying they didn't i just compared to the other ones oh no i agree i would rather listen to i'd rather listen to allison chains pearl pearl jam or sound garden yeah before i would listen to nirvana agreed i just did a uh cover over uh sdp interstate love song that's a good one i saw that on your spotify yeah i'm'm going to listen to that later. It's a different cover. It's not full music.

It's kind of an orchestrated cover. Yeah. Co-Os and pianos. Okay. Kind of a real lush sound. Low it down, yeah. Okay. Make it a little sadder.

How can you make it much sadder? Are you trying to get people to kill themselves before the end of the song? Well, I haven't busted out Radiohead yet. Yeah. This is a song to kill yourself by enjoy has anybody had the chance to see uh jerry cantrell recently uh as in physically yeah well you know see him perform oh no but i'm sure he's doing well killing it yeah i don't know if i can say k-i-l-l-i-n on here. Why? I don't know. You can't say it anywhere else. It's blurred out of social media.

No, this is not social media. We caught him at Tulsa Theater a year or two ago, and it was phenomenal. All right, let's do this before we go. Mike, what is the greatest concert you've ever seen? I would actually probably say bon jovi bon jovi which uh in 1987 here at barton no it was in california oh okay what made it great is they end up they had a 10 o'clock curfew and they put into playing until like 10 30 almost 11 o'clock and all the security left yeah and Yeah. And it was just great because he just started singing acapella. Yeah.

It sounded great. Look, you know, some people knock him, but really he was probably an underrated vocalist, and he's really a good vocalist. Best concert you've ever been to? Man, that's really hard, but I mean. It is hard. It's a subjective question.

It's not fair. It really is. It puts you on the spot. Pick one. Foo Fighters. Yeah, where at? the spot. Pick one. Foo Fighters. Yeah, where at? Memphis. In Memphis, the Foo Fighters.

Yeah, FedEx Forum. It was the first concert I took my son to, and he got a guitar pick from Dave Grohl. Oh, that's cool. But I've seen them a few times. I saw him on the Break a Leg Tour, and I have mad respect for Dave Grohl for that. Oh, he was in the throne on that one, right? Taylor was one of the best drummers to ever live. So, yeah, I got to say The Foo.

Okay, okay. Ronnie, get on the mic, Ronnie. Best concert that you've ever seen in your life? I want to say Def Leppard and Tesla at Barden Coliseum. Damn good show. That was the one where it went around. Yeah, I mean, you were in the same place, same time, man. That was the one where it went around. Yeah. Wow.

Same place, same time, man. That was a great, I dropped a full hit. If we were close to him, I would have shared that joint with you. I was blazing my ass off. I was at the front of the stage. And the only moment in my concert life, and I think most people have this moment with some artists, Joe Elliott was mine

yeah i was a huge def leopard fan so i'm standing right there and i point at him and he pointed back oh goodness for me at that moment at my age that was the dopest thing that ever happened in my life you know um but there was this dude like as i said i was blazing and uh this dude behind me and he was like six four six", weighed like a buck ten. You know, he's just skinny as a rail. But he's rocking, you know. And he's got this giant arm, and he keeps his elbow just keeps hitting the back of my head. And I told him three times, bro, stop hitting me in the back of the head.

The last time, I said, bro, if you do it one more time, I'll stroke you up, man. Pause. And there's the elbow hit, And I didn't even think. I just turned around. Wow. It had to go up. Oh, yeah. It had to go up.

But I was ready. And I went up on him. Pause. And he left. He left. By the way, he left. He came out to concert. Yeah.

Now, my eyes probably, you know, you know how big pupils are. They probably look crazy. When you're jacked. Tool was a phenomenal concert many years the visuals on that was sick all right man what uh best concert you've ever seen in your life uh a voodoo fest okay beck back okay i mean he rocked it um he's pretty amazing artist really. Post Malone was there. Oh hell yeah. Yeah, Post Malone would be awesome. Young the Giant. I mean that whole festival was just...

That's a great vibe. That's a vibe, yeah for sure. The best one, I've seen several really, really good concerts in my life, many, many shows, but to me the best one was Arrowhead stadium kansas city uh pink floyd oh wow and they played uh the dark side of the moon from beginning to end they had the diva there uh it was absolutely uh chill inducing i was on two hits that day i feel bad because me and my buddy went you know know, we drove there, it's about eight hours and we drove there and you look, this is Pink Floyd.

If you go to a Pink Floyd concert, you expect people are doing things. Okay. It's Pink Floyd. The people behind us was like a couple in their thirties with two kids who were like, yeah, who were like nine and 11. Nope. And I was like, no. I looked at my friend and I said, should we?

And he goes, hell yeah, we are. This is Pink Floyd. Yeah. We fired it up. Fired it up. No, I didn't drive to Arrowhead Stadium to not smoke this hog leg. Yeah. You know, you shouldn't have brought your kids here, man.

Brought your kids. Choices. Yeah. That's like bringing a kid to my stand-up show i've had a lot of people do it you mind if my kid comes you mind if your kid hears some stuff they shouldn't because they're going to going to i can't be responsible for that that's right they're they're grown okay well you bring them on you know it's always he is now talking worse than you are.
