Starting point is 00:05:37 white stripes disbanded back in 2011 uh chef bobby flay is 60 and And that's all of those. So let's get into news that you might be interested in. Hey, this is cool. Today is National Lager Day. It's Beer Day. Not exactly. I mean, lager is a type of German beer that is, well, we talked about it a little bit yesterday with Theron from Stone's Throat because they have some great lager there. But it's bottom fermented, lightly hopped, usually stored for at least three weeks after brewing before it's served. So it's different than ale. It's a vast difference in the aroma and all of that. But, yeah, check out Stone's Throw.
Starting point is 00:06:20 Man, they are great. If you have not had their, they've got a lot of different beers. I think they've got 14 beers on tap. Oh, wow. Yeah, not to count just the other ones, but now they've got, they just reopened their kitchen and they have Slater's Alaskan dumplings that's running it, and that is good stuff, man. If you hadn't had that, they've got all kinds of sauces for the dumplings.
Starting point is 00:06:42 Where are they located? They're at Stone's Thru. Stone's Thru, where is that? It's uh downtown i'll get you the exact address on that uh the exact street address yeah uh but man they're great uh check them out okay uh let me get back to what we were doing i sidetracked my damn self uh yeah well you know beer will do that to you a number of aftershocks have been reported after a 5.8 earthquake struck northern Nevada. The epicenter of that quake was 14 miles outside a town called Yarrington. It felt as far away as the Bay Area in California where last week a 7.0 earthquake caused quite a bit of disruption
Starting point is 00:07:21 and a short-lived tsunami warning when they told everybody to evacuate and then 30 minutes later they went oh wait don't do that just kidding yeah this was just a test a number of americans who believe health care coverage is the government's responsibility is rising a gallup poll monday release said 62 percent of americans think the government is responsible for ensuring everyone has coverage. That's the highest mark in more than a decade. In 2013, 42% felt that way. In 2006, it was 69%. So it is down a little bit from that. Let me just ask, should the government be responsible for providing health care? No.
Starting point is 00:08:06 You don't think so? You said how many people, 69%? 62%. 62% of people are also stupid. Oh. No, really. I learned this lesson back when I was actually in broadcasting college. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:19 There's no such thing as a free lunch. Oh, okay. All right. Okay, great. Government takes care of everybody's health insurance yeah who do you think's paying for it well you're gonna pay for it no matter what out of your taxes so right you're paying you're already paying for it now okay so and i think it's a lot cheaper than what's going to be paying if you know you're paying what would you say australians pay 70 70 percent now here's the other thing that concerns me,
Starting point is 00:08:47 is I've seen what the government approves and doesn't approve. I'm not sure that I want them to decide what health care I should or shouldn't get. I don't know that I trust them with that. They haven't given me any reason to trust them. I'm not sure why people want to trust them so badly yeah i feel like that's my take whether they're responsible to provide it or not i don't know but will i rely on them too probably i don't want to i'm not gonna no i don't i would rather not rely on them for anything at all all right uh the netflix uh comedy special, Jamie Foxx, What Happened Was, is streaming now, and folks
Starting point is 00:09:26 know the actor's medical emergency now was a brain bleed that led to a stroke. He said April 11th, he was having a bad headache, said, I asked my boyfriend aspirin. I realized quickly when you're in a medical emergency, your boys don't know what they have to do. Before I could get the aspirin, I went out. I don't remember 20 days on waking he spilled he was in a wheelchair and told he couldn't walk uh he's taking full advantage he said of a second chance but you know i have to i have to wonder and maybe it's not but i have to wonder you know was it related to the vaccine oh yeah yeah has there been well there there's been conversation about that.
Starting point is 00:10:06 I'm not saying it is true. I just wonder if that had any bearing on it. Let's see. Another, you remember alternative rocker Matthew Sweet? He's given fans an update on his health. He suffered a stroke. In a new GoFundMe campaign, he thanked his supporters, said he's lived through the day where he realized he may never play guitar again, but he does still want to make music.
Starting point is 00:10:30 He's got a lot of support on his GoFundMe, so that was launched to cover his medical expenses. He's been unable to tour, as you could imagine. Gypsy Rose has finalized her divorce from Ryan Anderson after their brief marriage, which apparently started in July of 2022 when she was still in prison and ended three months after she got out. I don't know much about her. I don't like watching her talk. She has a very annoying voice to me. Yeah. Police in Altoona, Pennsylvania arrested the suspect yesterday in the killing of United
Starting point is 00:11:05 Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. That suspect, Luigi Mangione, is a 26-year-old grad of UP, University of Pennsylvania, both a bachelor and master's in computer science engineering. He was arrested after a customer at McDonald's recognized him. He had handwritten material with him, which the NYPD chief of detectives said showed he had bad feelings toward corporate America. Late last night, Manhattan prosecutor filed several charges against him that included murder. He just, you know, I don't know what happened here.
Starting point is 00:11:41 We were just talking about this before. I don't know if the guy had someone that he loved dearly die because maybe the health care didn't approve it but otherwise it doesn't add up but it doesn't even that doesn't make sense like because i was just like i said we were talking about this a little earlier and i still stand by that like there is this guy you were mentioning his resume he's what got a bachelor's in computer science yeah he graduated top of his class in high school he gave the valedictorian speech he was among the top of his class at university of pennsylvania
Starting point is 00:12:16 where he has a bachelor and master's in a not uh liberal arts field right but you know what i mean it seems to me like he has even if it was a sick family member or something yeah it seems like he has the resources just normally yeah to be able to help out that person or go pay for something or slide a doctor you know uh yeah start a campaign right an online campaign okay i. I'll donate the new wing to the hospital, and you save my great-great-great-niece, whatever. It's so weird. It's an interesting thing. That just doesn't make sense that I'm calling a cover-up.
Starting point is 00:12:55 Yeah, you think this is maybe that for whatever reason, he said, yeah, I'll smoke this guy if you do X, Y, Z for me. I don't even think this guy did it. I think it was a professional. It sounds to me everything, like even you said, the bullets were inscribed and stuff. Yeah. That's like some professional next level stuff. Like some John Wick stuff.
Starting point is 00:13:14 Right. And this dude was just hanging out, waiting all day. Yeah. And nobody said anything. And he was pretty recognizable. Right. And all of a sudden. I mean, he got caught at McDonald's.
Starting point is 00:13:24 Yeah. Yeah. And dude tripped up and gets caught at McDonald'sdonald's eating a mcdouble in pennsylvania i'm not buying it i'm not buying it after not being able to agree on a unanimous verdict on the second degree manslaughter against daniel penny in the death of jordan neely that charge dismissed by the judge in doing so that allowed the jury to deliberate on a second charge of negligent homicide. Yesterday, they returned that verdict not guilty. There were plenty of people upset with the verdict, and now they're going to try to pursue him civilly and get money from him, which is unfortunate because I think, look, the guy did everything based on everything
Starting point is 00:14:04 I've seen, everything I've read, everything I've looked at, he did everything in his power not to kill this guy, you know, just to keep him subdued. And I think extenuating circumstances, the guy did die. But look, if you get on the subway and you start threatening everyone around me and saying, I'm going to die today, I don't care.
Starting point is 00:14:24 I'm going to do something. There's't care. I'm going to do something. There's calls for alarm. I mean, if that happened on an airplane, they would strap your ass to the chair and everybody would cheer you. But because it's on the subway, now he's a bad guy. And what was he supposed to do, let him go and get up and kill him? Come on, man. I mean, it doesn't even make sense.
Starting point is 00:14:42 It's just so weird. That's why I don't live in New York. I don't want to live in New York. New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy got a letter signed by the mayors of 21 towns in his state demanding action on the drones that have been spotted flying over since mid-November. called for a full investigation into the drones to determine origin, purpose, compliance, and applicable regulations to figure out what's going on. Why didn't they smoke one of these out of the sky yet? I read yesterday that they were SUV size. That's what I read, too. I saw they were SUV size.
Starting point is 00:15:18 That's nothing small. No, no. I mean, you've got basically cars flying through the sky, and you don't know who's sending them or what. I'm going to smoke one of them for sure and see what's going on i mean i can't believe that they must not have good old boys in new jersey because i'll tell you what let let some of those start flying over here and see if something don't hit right yeah i guarantee some of these good old boys are gonna pull out something and get them you know what i mean oh free target practice that's right yeah that's right uh if tiktok's going down it's going down swinging, at least legally. The company requested an emergency pause of the law that would ban the app January 19th if it hadn't been sold by then.
Starting point is 00:15:55 In the court filing asking for the pause, they said the break would give the Supreme Court time to decide if it should review the law. The company also argued in its filing that a delay would give the new administration, which takes over one day after the ban goes into effect, time to decide what it wants to do about it. A federal appeals court had already rejected TikTok's attempt to overturn the law on First Amendment grounds. The last thing California needs, more wildfires, but the danger of new blazes popped up again. They said Southern California is, fire conditions are really good and they need to be very careful. They've got wind gusts up to 60 to 80 miles an hour. Let's see what else. Tokyo,
Starting point is 00:16:41 the fertility rate is at a record low. so the Tokyo government is going to do something to help get it back up. Starting in April, the government will put a four-day work week into place for employees. That move is meant to give working mothers three-day weekends and more family-friendly options for scheduling, making it easier to raise kids in the country's demanding work culture. kids in the country's demanding work culture. The new rule will affect about 160,000 employees of the Tokyo Metro government, letting them work Monday through Thursday. So, yeah, the whole world has had a big drop in population in that. Mitchell Rudder just posted on Facebook, there's a crazy video of the Dover, Arkansas
Starting point is 00:17:23 Marshal's office violating a man's First Amendment right. Yeah. Mind you, I don't believe the man used any profanity. He also said, also, my wife got pulled over and ticketed for having an air freshener hanging in her rearview mirror last month. No, she didn't. How big of an air freshener was in her rearview mirror last month no she didn't how big of an air freshener was it mitchell rudder because i'll take that to court i mean you're gonna take me to court on that one i'm not paying a ticket i mean i may pay it but you're gonna force me to pay it uh now if she had you know like in the in the 80s i had a i had a caprice classic uh one of the box style and had 17 dice hanging from the the 17 of them hanging in the car you know like uh i mean was there a story behind it was like a
Starting point is 00:18:16 little mark it was a pimp wagon 16 wasn't enough 16 well that's the story 16 wasn't enough 18's too much yeah and so uh i could see me getting a ticket for that. I mean, it looked like a store, all the dice hanging down. But, you know, you're talking about an air freshener? What kind of air freshener? Was it a pine tree? He just messaged. He said it was a rubber duck air freshener.
Starting point is 00:18:38 Yeah, that's some bullshit. I'll be honest with you. Me and my rubber duck, we'd go to court on that one. Because you can't tell me it's obstructing your vision. You can't tell me that it's a problem. No, I'm not hearing that. I'm damn sure not hearing that. Yeah, I would take that all the way.
Starting point is 00:18:55 Also, good morning to Alex Johnson, Tiffany Holt. Where did that happen at? He said, I mean, just here in Arkansas. Yeah. I'll wait for him to comment again. Yeah, he'll comment again. Just here in Arkansas. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:03 I'll wait for him to comment again. Yeah, he'll comment again. Last week, British author Vicki Ball attended an author's event selling just two copies of her newest book. But her gratitude post on social media went viral and brought global attention. The viral response led to a surge in sales, propelling her book Abandon to the top of the Amazon bestseller charts and boosting sales of her earlier novel. She's a university lecturer and creative writing student.
Starting point is 00:19:31 She wrote her first book during the pandemic. But that's kind of cool. You know, she had a book thing, signed only a couple, and thanked everybody for, you know, the support. And that post, it was so nice. People started sharing it and now she's a best-selling author i mean that's the power of the internet that's the that's the power of the internet right there just the power of uh like perspective somebody might have been
Starting point is 00:19:54 bummed and pissed off they only got two right you know yeah this was not a positive post and then bam i love you man yeah that's a good thing mitchell also just commented he said uh with the rubber duck air freshener ticket it was in russell oh right he said it was he was a young it was a young officer very young yeah well that young officer would have to get a come up in russe vegas on that one because uh i'm not taking that ticket i mean you can give it to me right but we're gonna fight about it i mean that you show me on the law where that's really you can say that and it honestly if you can you're a sounds to me like i mean why would you what are we doing i mean was there something else going on was she topless uh did she just stop going a hundred miles an hour and he couldn't catch her speeding so he was mad i mean what the hell why would anyone ever
Starting point is 00:20:45 give you a ticket for that sometimes you just gotta say no to quack that's terrible that's uh i don't even hold on yeah and push the button up yeah yeah the det Detroit Goodfellas are carrying on their century-long mission by distributing over 26,000 holiday gift boxes to kids from underprivileged families in Detroit. The boxes designed for kids 4 to 13 include all types of clothing, books, candy, toys, benefiting a significant portion of Detroit public school students. The initiative has inspired lasting gratitude with recipients often returning
Starting point is 00:21:29 as adults to share how the program impacted their lives and also joining in to help the next round of kids. So that's a real, that's awesome, man. That's a great way to pay it forward and keep it going. I think that's great. That's great. This isn't the update you want. During an interview in Australia, Korn guitarist Brian Head Welch was asked about the progress made by the band on the songwriting session for a new album. He said, it's been a blast, but don't expect music anytime soon.
Starting point is 00:21:59 It's just going to take a while. I don't know how long. Maybe next summer, maybe next year, the next winter. I don't know. It's not going to be soon. So, in other words, you're saving up money for the Korn album. Yeah. Keeps it.
Starting point is 00:22:11 Yeah. He is going to be a while. Makes sense. Takes Korn a while to grow. There are some enormous stadium events in the future for System of a Down fans, and each of the shows have a different special guest. The band is playing three events next year at metlife stadium in new jersey uh corn will show up august 28th for that at soldier field uh on august 31st

Starting point is 00:23:23 let's do a little bit of sports here and see what's going on. With Juan Soto deciding to spend the next 15 years with the Mets, assuming he doesn't opt out after five, you can kind of look now at what went down and examine why the Mets were his choice. Clearly money played a role with none of the between 765 and 800 million being deferred. An insider, Jeff Besson, said the Mets might have won out because Soto believed the Mets have a better future than the Yankees
Starting point is 00:23:53 and that Stephen Cohen isn't done spending for the Mets. No West Coast team had a chance because of Soto's desire to be closer to the Dominican Republic. As far as fan reaction, Yankees fans are calling Soto a sellout, even though he took an offer that was a mere $50 million, give or take, higher than what his former team was offering. Some of you, only $50 million more. What the fuck are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:24:21 What are you talking about? Only $ 50 million? You dumbasses. I'll leave this show right now. I'll walk out the door. You'll never see me again. You won't hear me, see me, smell me nothing if you can give me 50
Starting point is 00:24:37 million. I'm out this bitch. I don't even like y'all no more for 50 million dollars. Come on. Don't make me put you through another table. I don't even like y'all no more for $58. Oh, we're cheap, Rick. We're cheap. Don't make me put you through another table. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:24:50 Her reports say the NBA and FIBA are in talks to create a European league. According to FIBA Secretary, his name is Andres Zaglis, he and his FIBA staff remain in serious conversations with NBA Commissioner Adam Silver in his office about creating a league that would compete with EuroLeague and the top pro leagues in individual countries. They said next month they'll talk more about where they're headed with this. That's a big thing. That's a big thing. It appears that the stories that say Bill Belichick might be joining UNC are more than just talk. He's now confirmed. He is in talks with the school about
Starting point is 00:25:32 the opening. When asked how they were progressing, he said, we'll see a resolution expected later this week. Uh, as far as what might be appealing to Belichick about the job report, say it's a chance to prove his legacy without tom brady's shadow i don't know if that's true at all yeah uh but you know maybe he's done in the nfl he wants to go over to college you know i mean it happened yeah did y'all watch that simpsons game yesterday at all the who this so it was the it was uh the cowboys versus the Bengals. But if you watched it on Disney Plus or ESPN Plus, they had the Simpsons programmed in with the players in the games and running the plays and stuff.
Starting point is 00:26:14 They've done a couple games over the past year. Is this what they're doing now? I mean, it's the Bengals and the Cowboys. They had to do something to make it worth tuning into. They did one this year that was like a Toy Story themed. And they've done a couple things with cartoon shows where they integrate the football team into it it's fun to watch i guess we just watched the regular game that was a good game last night was it alice in cincinnati yeah was it who won cincinnati of course yeah i expected they would be dallas at home yeah at home even yeah yeah no it's a good game though joe burrow
Starting point is 00:26:43 man he's just a good quarterback. He is a good quarterback. I thought I read that it was his birthday too, but I might be wrong. Maybe. Yeah, he's had a tougher year this year, I guess. But he has been a better than expected quarterback, in my opinion. On sports. Oh, you were right.
Starting point is 00:27:01 Yep. Yeah. His birthday is today. On sports, Rich, your Michigan plays with the Razorbacks tonight in New York City for the Jimmy V Classic. Ooh. Look, I don't want to get slammed through a table, but I was going to see if you had any suggestions for a friendly wager on this basketball game tonight. Oh. I got to redeem Patrick here.
Starting point is 00:27:20 He's trying to help me out. I just said. I'm too light, though, to get slammed through a table. No, you don't want to do that. You would put me through the floor. Yeah, no. He would have picked you up, spun you around, done things that were uncomfortable. I mean, do you want it to be wrestling related, or do you want it to just be anything?
Starting point is 00:27:36 Oh, I don't know. I just didn't know if you had something off the top of your head that you could fire off real quick. I mean, if Michigan wins, you have to eat the world's hottest gummy bear live on air. Gummy bear, that sounds miserable. I don't know about that. You're scaring him there. Let's see who the favorite is. I think it's, yeah, I think Michigan.
Starting point is 00:27:55 He has to reevaluate. Yeah, let me look at those. He's going to call us bookie. Let's look at the money box. Yeah, let him think about it. Look at what the analysts and specialists are saying. We'll circle back to this. What was it? I've done some of the hot, let him think about it. Look at what the analysts and specialists are saying. We'll circle back to this. What was it?
Starting point is 00:28:06 I've done some of the hot, eating the hot stuff before. Man, it's brutal, isn't it? It is miserable. How about a chair shot? What were you? Oh, a chair shot? I can take it. I'll do a chair shot.
Starting point is 00:28:15 Do you want to do a chair shot? All right, but if the Razorbacks win, you've got to get put through the table. Oh. Will you take that? No. Will you take that wager? Let me do some research we're gonna circle back to this what were you we're gonna do it but okay all right i don't care no look and i'll do it chair shot versus table shot there you go all right that'll work that'll
Starting point is 00:28:39 work all right yeah so we were talking about something this morning. You were talking about a deaf squad? Oh, I was. What were you saying? So I read it online yesterday. There's this school out in California. I forget the name of it. I can think of it real quick. But apparently it's an all-deaf school,
Starting point is 00:28:57 and apparently they have now clinched their third year in a row of winning the state championship for football. That's amazing, actually. That's pretty amazing. It's an awesome story, but yeah. Well, it probably is. And I'll tell you, I have to give some validity to that, even though I never played football.
Starting point is 00:29:17 But I did love basketball a lot. And when I got in my 30s, I used to play with my friends, but we kind of lived in different areas then. So I joined a rec league. And so it was me and some guys from the company that I worked with. We put the team together, and we weren't that great. I mean, I think we had a 500 record, but the worst ass whooping. And look, we took an ass whooping once from a team.
Starting point is 00:29:46 I had a couple of players from Appalachian State. They were like six, five, six, six. They were doing dunks. They're windmilling. You know, they're 360 reversing on us. You know, that ass whooping didn't touch the ass whooping the deaf team put on us. The deaf team beat the shit out of us. Just humiliated us. Hey, it's awkward.
Starting point is 00:30:08 They don't say anything. It's quiet. There's no whistles. And that's weird. And they're all gesturing behind your back, you know? And man, but they could look at each other, knew exactly what was going on. Didn't need to hear anything. Man, they just humiliate, man, my, we just walked off and went, man, that's terrible. At least it wasn't the blind team. You know what I mean? All right, let's move on, shall we?
Starting point is 00:30:35 Attention station employees. Management has cut down your lunch hour to 23 minutes. No extra time will be given for pooping. Thank you.

My son is the third driver of our Lexus SUV. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:11 And. They're definitely, because I went through, I went through, I got taken probably about six months back or so. Oh, no. And went and bought a car from a dealership here in Little Rock. I won't mention any names and whatever. But it was a 2014 Nissan Rogue. Drove it off the lot. Two weeks later, I'm driving up the highway on the way to a show. Transmission driver. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:32:33 Boy, you hate that. That sucks, man. Here in, yeah. Yeah, that's not cheap. All right. So this is weird. And I say weird. I shouldn't phrase it that way.
Starting point is 00:32:43 I should go back here uh this is different bach but ken i don't know who bach or batch or however he says it is but he's an influencer he has over six million followers he creates viral videos that are meant to normalize men wearing makeup a case in point of tiktok which shows him applying foundation and blush on a subway has amassed over 31 million views um this is not a new thing there have been many cycles in history where men were the peacocks and the adorned and pampered ones more than women the pendulum is swinging back that way now so here's my question to you bundy oh god i don't know if the pendulum is how is the pendulum close to are you intrigued by putting on
Starting point is 00:33:35 makeup oh not really no no no you don't see yourself maybe going over to get some cover boy foundation i'm stuck with what i got a little eyeliner no i don't know come on some mascara lip liner oh no you're not gonna contour i can't do it how about you man i mean i can't say i wouldn't do it on like just a regular basis or anything but yeah shit i've got makeup on right you're right yeah right, yeah. He's got some blue eyes. It really looks a lot worse than, yeah, yeah, no. But no, I mean, I'm thinking about it from, you know, like TV side, promoter side, announcer side. Okay, so if you were on a camera situation, you might wear, as the sportscasters or people sometimes do, makeup.
Starting point is 00:34:21 Right. Okay. Absolutely, why not? What about everyday life? No, that's why I'm not everyday day i'm not i'm not gonna go back and be like let me freshen up let me go back so let's say that i look good for them bananas you you know you meet a hot chick and you guys decide to go out and you're getting ready for that night you know you're getting your clothes okay you get your cool jeans you know you get your nice shirt shoes i've already fit in my nap for the day yeah are you gonna get a little makeup on no you're not just a little lipstick man just a little it doesn't
Starting point is 00:34:50 have to be over the top man no no no no no it's not happening what about you why what about you patrick are you stupid hell no i probably need it more than anyone. I'm so pale. I'm so pale. I'm almost translucent, but no, I'm damn sure not going to do it. I, I don't know. I mean, I, I guess it's fine. If that's what you want to do. I mean, that's what you want to do, but you know, here's the problem I have with, with everything going on today. I don't care how people, what they do, identify who they sleep with none of that matters to me but what is weird to me is um seeing a dude with a beard and makeup it doesn't add up it's just that you can't wear lipstick and a beard man it's wrong i don. I don't know. It hurts my head when I see that.
Starting point is 00:35:46 You know, I probably shouldn't be that way. And if I met you in public, I wouldn't say anything. I'd shake your hand, talk to you. Just like normal. Now, as soon as I get to my buddies and be like, did you see that dude back there? He got a makeup and a beard, you know, but I know that's wrong. It's okay.
Starting point is 00:36:03 But it's just how I feel. What was that trend we listen and we don't judge oh yeah oh yeah no i i kind of judge um i don't judge you for judging no i appreciate that no that's that's great that's great um do you but what about girls in makeup um does it matter what level of makeup someone wears? Yeah, for sure. I mean, I've seen it caked on. You know, my wife's pretty minimalistic when it comes to makeup, and I like that.
Starting point is 00:36:32 You like the more natural look. I just want you to look like the same person. Yeah, that's what I was going to say, because there have been people I've known that, yeah, being catfished by the same person. Well, you know, and some call it catfish and you may be right there i know that one girl on tiktok a few years ago she uh looked like god i don't want to be rude but a lot lizard you know she had no teeth in right right she looks pretty old uh and
Starting point is 00:37:01 then she goes and puts on puts in teeth and puts makeup, and she looks like she's a model. Yeah, no, yeah. And so I'm like, now that to me would be, if I go home with the model and I wake up with her, I'm going to be like the, she's going to be the CEO of UnitedHealthcare. You know what I mean? I'm done.
Starting point is 00:37:21 You used to call that beer goggles. No, that's more than beer goggles it's a beer goggles is when she has a little bit of a mustache in the club and you don't mind because you've been drinking you wake up that's a little more than i thought she's a man beard with makeup yeah i'm empathetic though imagine if you're a an unattractive woman and you have this thing that you can't just it's like hey more power to you i'm sure no i don't feel great you know that's a i i get mad respect to that that's a good point you know uh because it it can't as far as taking on home like come on don't be don't be tricking me dude no that's what i mean i mean
Starting point is 00:38:01 look if if i if we get home and you take out your fake butt pads, your bra inserts, your makeup, your teeth. You wash off a whole face. Yeah. Yeah, no, I'm going to be like, hey, I don't know you, sir.

Starting point is 00:38:46 You put it in the, you know. It's time to stop dick farting for good. Operators are standing by, and they're trained not to laugh. All right, so let's continue our conversations here pertaining to men and women. In most dating situations, the topic of somebody's number or body count is bound to come up. In a perfect world, it says it shouldn't matter. But for some reason, it does to some people. But what does it mean? Objectively, the only thing the number says about someone is how experienced they are. But it says it becomes a bigger deal when judgments enter the conversation. But in a survey of 2,000 men and women,
Starting point is 00:39:31 81% felt the number of sex partners discussions should happen within the first eight months of dating someone. 30% said it should happen in the first month. Now, how meaningful that information is depends on how comfortable i guess people are but as a point of reference the average american well let me just uh get you to guess bundy the average american has had sex with how many people let's say uh even 10 and even 10 that's. That's not bad. The number is 7.2 in their life. That number fluctuates depending on the state you live in.
Starting point is 00:40:11 For example, in Louisiana, where there's nothing to do, it's 15.7 partners. While in Utah, where there's also nothing to do, it's 2.6. Of course, all those numbers are dependent on people being honest but does the number matter um is there a number that does matter does the number matter what do you think no i'm not single of course but uh when i was single i feel like no it never mattered if i was there did you ever ask that question no no you never come out and and i ask her but if you if you heard about a girl you know like oh she kind of sleeps around to me like she's an angel
Starting point is 00:40:51 that's what you're saying like she's around she's a visiting angel what do i want some square that's never had any experience like no dude come on give it give me the uh experience girl okay what about you man what do you we do do you think As far as the number goes or as far as just? Well, the number. We're talking about the number. You know, does it matter to you, the body count that she's had? I mean, somewhat yes, somewhat no. Okay.
Starting point is 00:41:15 What's the somewhat yes part? Well, again, like to piggyback off of what you were saying, like, hey, I'm going to sign up for it and be like, hey, give me the experience. and like, hey, I'm going to sign up for it and be like, hey, give me the experience. Now am I going to put in the effort to like make a relationship with you and, you know, building roots and setting down and all that? Like, no, because you've been around the block, though. I'll put that thing on you and change your mind. Yeah. I'm tired now.
Starting point is 00:41:38 I don't know. If you already have that, you know, hey, you're pretty easy. I just don't, you know. Well, hey, just because I got a high body count doesn't necessarily mean that they were easy. You know, those body counts might have had to work. No, well, the difference, too, that, you know, people forget, because I know we're all guys or dogs, right? I get it. I get it.
Starting point is 00:42:00 Right. But. Three white dudes talking about body count. Yeah. I mean, really. Right. But. Three white dudes talking about body count. Yeah. I mean, really. Right. But having said that, ladies have their choice. I mean, you know, pretty much for the most part.
Starting point is 00:42:12 Oh, yeah, dude. You can get laid a hundred times a day if you want to, if you're a lady. I mean. Like when I see all those videos on TikTok of, you know, extremely gorgeous women being like, I'm single. I can't find anybody i'm like go the fuck outside go no i just seriously no just take a walk outside it's not yeah it's not hard to be to find somebody being a woman but being single but my point is that you know if the shoe were if for some reason things flipped and men were the ones that had all that
Starting point is 00:42:47 right that ability okay we'd all be hoards i mean don't stop lying don't lie don't lie yeah i mean yeah we are now yeah i mean we would live on our backs what are we talking about i mean i'd have a sealy imprint. We would never leave the house. No, why would I? So any woman not doing that, kudos to you for holding out. I don't know. I mean, it makes you feel good. Kudos to you.
Starting point is 00:43:14 If it doesn't, get it on. You know, I mean, I, you know, Laura and I, when we, it was funny because, you know, most of the time, I think when you date someone, you, you, you don't put out your skeletons. You know what I'm saying? It's just not what you do when you start dating someone, you're always putting your best face forward. But when I met her, we weren't even think we weren't even interested in dating each other. We were very, you know, different things going on at the time. And I was mentoring her in comedy. And so over time oddly enough i say oddly but we became best friends right you know and we just talked all the time so as a result of that because we
Starting point is 00:43:53 weren't trying to let each other uh and we were just best friends and and we're in comedy so everything is fair game right we told everybody each other everything right right every right detail all the body everything was out so by the time we arrived at the place we wanted to actually date each other like well hey i mean i know yours you know mine i mean i guess there's nothing else yeah we're good right you know and that's how they say it and it's uh i mean for all i don't know you all personally you know that well i know we've gotten to know each other more but it seems like you have a great relationship I'd like to think we have a
Starting point is 00:44:29 pretty good one Laura is great I've been missing Laura we need Laura we're working on that as we speak we're working on that it happens when you're not looking for at least that's what I hear and I'm single and I know like I joke and say
Starting point is 00:44:44 oh I was going to go on a date and i took a nap or whatever but it's just like i don't know that it it necessarily i mean that's a great phrase it happens when you're not looking and and maybe there's some truth to that but really what i think it is when you're not forcing things right something better comes out of it and that's you know you know it's just like you know i've spent 20 plus years in sales and you know if you're desperate for a sale people smell that right they're like man what is your deal what's your problem man why are you pushing so hard right so when you're you know my best sales days almost invariably if i felt a little sick right not too sick to stay home but just
Starting point is 00:45:20 sick enough not to give a shit right you know you can tell me yes or no i don't care right whatever right you know and i ultimately i would sell that day like crazy because there's nothing in you that says i gotta have this right absolutely and that i think is is why it shows up at that time because you're just unabashedly you don't care you're you you're doing your thing and you're in your own zone and that's just that's yeah that's where i'm at in life right now yeah it's kind of so i'm not the one to ask about you know relationship advice or whatever but on the other hand it's just kind of like hey man all right no i mean that's a good take because uh me and me and jamie kind of started off similar where we were just friends you know those friends that started out no romantic interest and it
Starting point is 00:46:02 developed kind of in a complex way yeah no same with me it was weird because when i first started dating her uh you know we we we just both agreed we didn't know if it was going to work out we just weren't sure and we're going to try it out yeah and so we were kind of trying it on for ourselves right and we didn't want to tell everybody you know we didn't want to tell all our friends or, you know, we're at that point, you know, part of the comedy scene and, you know, didn't want to, if it wasn't going to work, we didn't want to leave a stain on it going forward, you know? So we were down low, super down low, like nobody knew we were dating.
Starting point is 00:46:41 And, uh, one of my buddies came to one of the comedy shows we were doing, and dude was macking on her so hard. I mean, it was so hard. Yeah, and Laura caught me in the bathroom and goes, man, he just keeps trying to get me to go out with him. And I had to think about it a minute. Hey, stop hitting on my comedian. What?
Starting point is 00:47:04 Stop hitting on my comedian. Find? Stop hitting on my comedian. Find another girl. Why? Because she's a comedian here. I don't need her distracted by you. Meanwhile, what was really going on is get away from my girl, bitch. Get away from her. Speaking about you and Laura, a couple of comments on Facebook.
Starting point is 00:47:20 Mitchell Rudder says that he's been friends with y'all for years, and y'all have a rare awesomeness. Oh, mitchell i appreciate that man i really do latasha mac wants to know how long you and laura have actually been together about six months um no congratulations yeah yeah it's a milestone yeah it's a milestone uh 14 years yeah we've been together about 14 years now. Congrats on that. It's been great. It's like any relationship.
Starting point is 00:47:52 It has ups and downs, and we've had plenty of them. But there's just, you know what? There's no one in the world I'd rather fight with. Does that make sense? That's just how it is. It's my best friend you know and so it's it is dope um and and we had we have had a very unorthodox relationship not in in ways that you might think there's no you know there's no open relationship we're not in a throuple there's
Starting point is 00:48:17 nothing going on like that i just mean unorthodox the way we got there and and also probably the way we communicate and the way we work together. Uh, because it, it, it is, we, we have very different styles and ways, you know,
Starting point is 00:48:29 but yeah, we have a lot of, it works. It does work. It works really well, you know, and, and,
Starting point is 00:48:35 and I'm thankful for it because I've had plenty of failures before that. Trust me. Right. Right. Yeah. I've made, I've made all the wrong choices. I know that.
Starting point is 00:48:44 Yeah. You've been there huh yeah yeah and and what's worse is when you're in the middle of it you know it's a wrong choice and and you can't get out making it yeah yeah it's like ah do i play through or do i do i end the match little doggy wants to know if you know what the where the best comedy show is this weekend uh where the best comedy show is this weekend. Where the best comedy show is this weekend with the Looney Bin, I would imagine. The Joint has some good stuff, too.
Starting point is 00:49:12 Yeah, the Joint has good stuff. The Looney Bin has good stuff. Those are the only two places around right now that I know of that are actively, regularly doing comedy. Now, there may be some other pop-ups here and there, and I've heard about a couple, but I don't know anything about the consistency of it
Starting point is 00:49:31 or the quality of it, you know? I'll just say good morning to Jeremy Haney. Mike Frank says, morning, gentlemen. All right, what's up, Mike? Galen Klein says, guten Morgen, all. What's up, man? What's up, K-Bird in the house? What up, K-Bird?
Starting point is 00:49:46 Wendy's in Atlanta. Oh, yeah rolling through atlanta yeah yeah yeah um all right let's uh move on shall we uh we'll do something different here um let's see yeah this is a kind of an interesting uh thing right here. So the LA Times is rolling, are about to roll out an artificial intelligence powered bias meter. They're going to do it, they think, in January. The newspaper, not that anybody reads a newspaper anymore, but I assume they really mean the online version of it, They really mean the online version of it. Announced the upcoming AI feature in an interview with a Times editorial board member. Said whether it be news or opinion, more likely the opinion or the voices, you have a bias meter. So somebody could understand as they read it that the source of the article has some level of bias.
Starting point is 00:50:44 That's the guy who owns the Times. He bought it in 2018 he said readers could press a button and get both sides of the exact same story based on that story and then give comments um he said if it's news it should just be facts period but that's actually i mean that's actually true yeah true the problem comes if the bias meter is biased right right right that's what i was gonna say well you have to wonder number one is the bias meter bias but number two it is a fascinating idea that like the concept that if you're saying um you choose your own news basically if you want the left you want the right right you know uh just pick which one you want and and you can go down that path and that's that's uh an interesting
Starting point is 00:51:31 choose your own adventure type scenario you know he's saying how can i be all things to everybody instead of just being to the left or just being right you know of course i mean i get what he's trying to do and you know good job do i you know do i feel like it'll necessarily reflect accurately no you know i don't know how accurate or biased chat gpt is but that's kind of what i try to use chat gpt for is finding like a neutral version of a story if i see something more i think it's a little heavy on the left or heavy on the right i'll look for a more neutral take on it and uh chat gp has been good this is just all the it's all convenience like right you have the ability to do this your own self and use your own brain right and read all the different facts and come up with
Starting point is 00:52:17 your own solution to that what are you talking about yeah exactly you know convenience is the number one commodity yeah now we're we're definitely a soundbite generation i mean you look at some of the uh lightning rod issues that people have been up in arms about in recent years and a lot of them are are just soundbites they've clung to that didn't reflect the truth right right you know heard it and heard this person say oh you should think this and oh okay we we we often act on a vibe as opposed to a truth or falsehood yeah you know it's a vibe oh i don't like that guy right so anything about that guy even if i would have liked it six months ago won't work right you know if if i i guarantee you the guy who's about to take office,
Starting point is 00:53:07 if he came out and said, you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to take every bit of tax revenue. I'm going to divide it up equally and give it all back to you. People would still be, I hate him. Oh, yeah. I hate him. You keep your money, you bitch. What?
Starting point is 00:53:23 Yeah, but I mean, it's a vibe that people are on instead of facts. I don't want to get too political here, but I want to ask you all this question, because this thought occurred to me yesterday. We've got a lot of corruption that's starting to come up. You've got a lot. I mean, I think you all had heard the other day about Jay-Z now being brought into everything going on with the CEO guy. CEO guy like does anybody think that some of this still ties back to the whole draining the swamp thing now that he's getting ready to take office I don't know man I mean that's that was an interesting question when you posed it as could it be somehow an extension of that um I'm sure it's possible because I mean he came in he won in, he won. He said he was going to drain the swamp. Then he was gone. There is a possibility, I think, and it was intriguing to me when you said it, because if I think about the way that these political strategists do,
Starting point is 00:54:16 if I want to neutralize the negative voices that are coming against me in a chorus right a la celebrities and whatnot i might say well i know this let's uh let's throw this bone out there and start right taking it down you know you can't deny that celebrities don't have an influence on government officials here's the thing that that everybody has to be coming to the realization to now. And I think a lot of that with Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein have been part of it. But everybody, look, this thing about Diddy, his Diddy parties, all these things, this has been talked about for years. Right. Much like R. Kelly was.
Starting point is 00:55:03 Right. Okay. Everybody knew that r kelly had issues in that area and don't get me wrong i'll still bump uh you know into mark kelly right now uh you put on ignition i'll turn that all the way up i don't care so remix to ignition come on man that's a bump that's a grind, but, but people knew this was going on a lot of people, a lot of the people who tell you what you should think, you know, they, they, they, they preach to you, but everybody has kept this on the low. Now, maybe it's because their careers
Starting point is 00:55:41 could have been jeopardized. Maybe they were in vulnerable positions that they don't want out there. But regardless of the reason, there has been a mass conspiracy amongst at least celebrities and as well as others around it, I'm sure, to keep this quiet. And so that is
Starting point is 00:56:00 you know, that's got to be alarming to people just stop and think about the amount of things that are popping up. Well, that's why I was just going. So, yes. I mean, could it be? Yeah. Why couldn't it be?
Starting point is 00:56:13 I just, I wondered if there was a connection at all. I don't know. Just, you know, because I'm a huge conspiracy theorist guy. You are. I love conspiracy theories. Right. But I was just sitting there going, you know, it would almost make sense. Because ever since, you know, I mean, all this was going on before, but now he's gotten reelected and it's just like day after day.
Starting point is 00:56:29 You're hearing this person caught doing this, this person doing that. I don't know. I don't know how much. I mean, it sounds interesting. I don't know if it's plausible. Dear Gigger on Facebook says, if everyone would stop getting their news from Facebook and The View, this would be a great start to unbiased media. Well, if you're getting your news from The View, you're a cackling idiot. Let's be honest.
Starting point is 00:56:52 I mean, I'm not even going to dance around that one, though. If you move one of their plates five inches to the side, they'd starve to death. They're morons. They don't have a clue what life is about they're so disconnected from the real world they just blather on non-stop and it's terrible it's i mean if you're watching that you get the news you deserve that's why you need to listen to patrick and the people get the news from people that know what in the world we try to avoid. We try to avoid it. Speaking of conspiracies, and I guess this is more than that, but the FBI is warning iPhone and Android users against
Starting point is 00:57:30 texting each other without encryption due to a recent Chinese cyber attack. On Wednesday, Deputy National Security Advisor announced at least eight U.S. telecom companies were breached by a Chinese hacking operation known as Salt Typhoon. The operation accessed private text messages and phone conversations involving an undisclosed number of Americans. The hackers successfully intercepted communications of senior government officials, high-profile political figures. They didn't think any classified information had been accessed uh the fbi and cyber security infrastructure agency released guidance aimed at identifying hackers and preventing future attacks but basically they're saying hey if you don't have encryption don't be
Starting point is 00:58:18 texting back and forth with android and iphone but i would never further separate an android i said i would never text anybody with an android why would you yeah it's embarrassing right oh really is it now mr patrick now the only thing that i hate about having an android and texting iphone users is when y'all react to our messages yeah because it doesn't ever just give the reaction like if you, you know, love a message or whatever. It says, Patrick loved, and then it sends me all the messages that I sent you back. The whole message you sent back? Wow, that's great.
Starting point is 00:58:56 I would use a pay phone before. Yeah, yeah. I'm not worried about China hacking into my phone. What are they going to get out of my text messages? That I'm picking up some milk on the way home I don't have anything to hide now I guess if you do if you're trying not to get exposed for something or you have a trade secret you know if you're texting naked pictures of your body these could be issues that maybe you if you have an iPhone you don't text the Android user and vice versa but otherwise i mean if i'm just talking what's china getting from me i mean look at mine and go this
Starting point is 00:59:30 guy's an idiot i don't need any more of his text that's for sure you know i can't i i agree that's when they came out and said it i was like we all knew our phones have been listening to us for years again the government only gets mad when it's China, not when they are. They're like, it's not a party line. Only let us spy on you. Come on. Be Americans. Be patriotic.
Starting point is 00:59:54 Let us spy on you, not China. No, that's fine. Absolutely fine. That is the American way, isn't it? All right. This hour brought to you by put a stick in your bum. I'm depressed. I wish there was more to life.
Starting point is 01:00:08 Put a stick in your bum. How is that? Oh, wow. I feel better. Ow, ow, ow, ow. Put a stick in your bum. Johnson, you're fired. Holy fuck.
Starting point is 01:00:18 Johnson, you get a raise. Woo-hoo. Ow, ow. Put a stick in your bum. Spare change? Oh, I'm going to go teach Lamaze. Ow. Ow.
Starting point is 01:00:28 Ow. If your life is humdrum, put a stick in your bum. Put a stick in your bum. Put it in there. Put it in. Put the stick in your bum. All right. Let's do this now.
Starting point is 01:00:40 Yeah, you know you want some. Ha, ha, ha. This is the segment. Not like the other. People do stupid shit. You say, oh, brother. Hey, it's not a copy or a clone of any previous bit. But if you think so, hey, we don't give a shit.

Starting point is 01:01:26 exited the vehicle, ran from the crash, took multiple police teams, including dogs, to find him. When he was finally apprehended, he failed a breathalyzer test and a blood test. His blood alcohol was pretty high. Curiously, without explanation, he was found wearing a Batman costume. He's found guilty of driving under the influence fleeing the scene of a crash uh man i mean would it be better or worse to get arrested in a batman costume i mean better it's got to be better right i mean at least i would frame that mug shot and put it up on my wall yeah i mean at least you got some cool points i mean you know you're weird

According to a statement from Lee County Sheriff's Office, deputies were called about the carjacking Friday afternoon. The suspect, the 16-year-old, Felix Ayala, had approached a female, demanded she give him the car keys. Police said members of the violent crime unit worked with Florida Highway Patrol.

The driver attempted to flee on foot and was apprehended at the airport, charged with carjacking without a firearm or weapon. How do you carjack without a weapon?

The statue was cut into pieces and sold at scraps for $126. Police arrested a 52 and 61-year-old. They were charged with theft. I'm betting that meth was somehow involved in this.
Starting point is 01:04:01 If you're cutting up a $10,000 statue to get $126 worth of metal, you're buying some kind of drugs, and it ain't weed. I was going to say, they're selling it to the wrong people. They need to duct tape it to a wall with a banana or something. That would have made it worth a lot of money. Right. Yeah, no, you're right. You're right.

The stegosaurus, known for armored plates and spiked tails, a beloved symbol of the dinosaur age, allosaurus are a rare adult and juvenile pair. So an Allosaurus, if you don't know, is kind of like a smaller T-Rex. It's the first time Christie's will auction three dinosaur skeletons at once. The Stegosaurus estimated to fetch up to five mil.

All right. Let's go over this report. Tinder's 2024 year in swipe. over this report. Tinder's 2024 year in swipe. So don't talk to me if you're not looking for something serious.
Starting point is 01:14:12 That's the sentence that seems to appear in more dating profiles than ever. As apparently people are tired of being swiped on, spanked on, and, you know, blanked on spanked on and you know blanked on um new data huh did you just come up with that i did that was right off the top uh new data shows daters are demanding transparency and intention and open communication as part of a growing new trend dubbed loud looking by Tinder in 2024. Singles prioritize trustworthiness, physical attraction, emotional availability, showing a pushback against bad dating habits like ghosting. Daters are no longer willing to settle for mixed signals.
Starting point is 01:14:58 This is the Tinder director of communications. Instead, they're seeking connections that align with their values and are real meaningful interactions we'll wait i thought tinder was a hookup app i thought so too is it now more than i mean are people getting relationships out of tinder is that what's going on i don't know rich you're a single guy do you use anything uh like tinder i said this a while ago i think they should just take all of the dating apps and like push it all into just one app and just call it what's left right what's left i do like that that's a great name what's left um no i i mean you're not a swipe left or right guy
Starting point is 01:15:38 i have them and i get on them but like yeah i'm not i'm just not committed to it i'll get on them, but, like, I'm just not committed to it. I get on, you know, when I'm bored and, oh, okay, you know. Oh, yeah, you seem cool. Have you had a Tinder hookup? No. No, I've never hooked up with anybody. Have you ever had a Tinder-oni? Oh, what?
Starting point is 01:15:55 No, never mind. I'm sorry. That's a little Bobby Brown reference from back in the day. It says that this friend is reshaping dating into a more purposeful experience well that's what they want me to believe uh daters are taking charge of their journey now that's all the internet is trash when it comes to dating it has not changed that's been the way i wonder what percentage of internet relationships stay together hey Hey, is that your nighttime lullaby playing? What happened there?
Starting point is 01:16:28 Time to wake up, apparently. Sorry about that. No, it's just great. I love to hear your ringtone sound so feminine. I like to wake up peacefully. Yeah, no. It's just a makeup alarm. I like to wake up and do it all day.
Starting point is 01:16:41 No, it's very peaceful, like yoga. Namaste, Rich. very peaceful, like yoga. Namaste, Rich. Namaste, Rich. I don't even know what we were talking about. Right. No, we were talking about how much relationships are starting. I think it's somewhere like 64%, 65% now, I think I saw, of relationships start online. But do they last?
Starting point is 01:17:01 That's the question. Are they better or worse? Higher percentage of success or failure? I mean, I wonder what percentage. I would think it would be fairly. I mean, at least half of that 65% you'd think, because so many people meet online. I mean, I guess technically a lot of people meet online,
Starting point is 01:17:21 but are they meeting online in a dating app? Right, right. Yeah, true right yeah true according to a pew research center study around 12 of adults report being in a committed relationship or marriage with someone they initially met through an online dating site or app 12 percent 12 percent 65 yeah that's pretty low that's a pretty low number so I'm going to go back to it's probably a hookup site. Right. Right. Even if you say, yeah, no, I'm definitely looking for a relationship.
Starting point is 01:17:52 Absolutely, I am. For about one night. It says here, what is a nano ship? There's a trend used to describe a romantic connection that's so small it might seem insignificant but holds meaning meaning so what that is is when you go and call the girl and they don't answer the phone and you're like oh but i you know love them yeah that's a failed booty call yeah that's yeah no this is just this is a trash report this is a trash report to be honest with you um i don't know i i think online dating there can be some good things but look if there's
Starting point is 01:18:33 any part of the world that's fake it's the stuff that's online for sure so anything that you see there anything you hear there anything that's said to you there you have to question the legitimacy of it no matter fabricated oh yeah look i've watched uh all those those catfish shows yeah man a lot of these folks go to extreme measures to catfish people and then you find out you know you feel a type of way because you were talking to sparkles the 26 year old stripper with no kids right and then you find out it's one the 52 year old fat dude in a chair yeah that yeah who's in st louis you know um in a basement or no it i mean i that show was always wild just watching the people and yeah because it could take some dedication on the cat oh, you have to work hard to be a catfish, man.
Starting point is 01:19:27 Like an undercover investigator. They have to go to great lengths to cover all their stuff, make up reasons, keep people involved. And then you always, it's every single time. Here, let me help everybody save some time if you think you might be getting catfished. If they don't talk to your video chat. Yeah, if they say, oh, I can't video. If they don't talk to your video chat. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:19:45 If they say, oh, I can't video chat, they're a catfish. Yep. Right. I don't care. End of story. There's no other solution. There's no other answer. They're not real.
Starting point is 01:19:56 They're fake. Why else would they refuse? There's no reason. There's zero reason. I say. Oh, I live in a cave. You can't see me. Okay.
Starting point is 01:20:03 Whatever. Yeah. I get it. Voice and face. If you can't show me or let me hear one of those things, you're. Oh, no. in a cave. You can't see me. Okay, whatever. Yeah, I get it. Voice and face. If you can't show me or let me hear one of those things, you're... Oh, no, I need both. I'm going to have to see your voice and your face at the same time working. Yeah, no, I don't trust it.
Starting point is 01:20:16 AI has voices now that sound super real. Hackers can do it. Well, it always surprises me, too, the gullibility of the people getting catfished. Right. Like, how did you... They're pretty desperate yeah they're they're normally pretty hard up for some love it took me three years of them not wanting to video chat before i decided to wonder why they didn't want a video chat well i think some of them if it's the third conversation and i haven't seen your face we're done no that's for sure no. I think some of them kind of know deep down that they're getting.
Starting point is 01:20:46 They do. They're in denial, but they're getting something. There's a payoff. Right. You know, anytime you're doing something and you know it ain't the right thing, there's a payoff for it. Yeah. I mean, you may have to look inside and figure out what is my payoff. Right.
Starting point is 01:21:02 But even if you're staying in a relationship that's toxic and you're fighting all the time, there's a payoff somewhere. What is that valve? Only you can say, right. You know, but that that's a fact, right. And then people don't do things with no payoff. Yeah. I mean, very rarely, you know, even altruism, is it altruism or is it, uh, feeling good, you know, that you're helping somebody and it makes you feel good about you. Right. I mean, ultimately, isn't that, there's some motivation. I mean, I'd love to say that we all do things just to be great people, but we do things because we want to be great. Right. Exactly. I mean, honestly. Right. exactly i mean honestly right so yeah i i don't uh i i think that that the online dating is is real sketch man i think people put forth a lot of things that may or may not be real yeah crap shoot
Starting point is 01:21:55 yeah i mean it's no it's worse than going to your bar or whatever no i mean like at the very least you have human interaction like you know dating after 30 i guess playing hide and seek i guess no one's looking for you the good thing about being catfished is you can't get herpes i mean that's true you know i mean that's that's the positive there's you didn't put it right good job finding that silver line that is the silver lining but other than that i don't know of one. I'm thankful to have never been single in the online dating era. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:22:31 Me and Jamie's been together about a decade now. Yeah. That's about right around that time. Yeah. I remember before that, when it wasn't internet, it was phone-based. Yeah. And you would just call and you would listen to someone leave a message yeah and you'd be like oh i like the sound of that voice what about what about singles ads in the paper oh yeah
Starting point is 01:22:55 yeah no a male you know 40 no that's a great way to meet a serial killer right in the classified yeah in the class yeah It's like meeting someone on Craigslist. You're either going to die or be arrested. Which do you want? Really, though, it's an interesting point because I think that's where the birth of online dating, if you want to. The natural progression because you had that and then you had what wasn't there. I remember in the 90s when I was a kid and, like, you know, getting to become a teenager and everything, there was, like, mail order services where they'd send you, like, tapes and stuff of people, like, recording themselves, you know,
Starting point is 01:23:33 with a little dating profile. It's funny what we did before we had the Internet. Oh, God. Yeah. You know, people used to use the classified section to talk to each other in codes. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. There were lots of things that were put in classified ads that were never a classified ad.
Starting point is 01:23:51 It was a message that you were sending to someone. You know, it may be about any number of things. The vacuum cleaner sucks really good. Yeah. No, I mean, there were things like that. Yeah. Yeah, I have a Eureka that sucks on high. Yeah, no, there were lots of things in there that were coded that way.
Starting point is 01:24:07 So, yeah, I mean, I guess to some extent online dating has been happening forever in one way or another. Shout out to the classifieds, dude. I miss the classifieds. It was entertainment, man. It was entertaining, man. For sure. It was. For sure.
Starting point is 01:24:21 Because even as a kid, I mean, you didn't want to read the boring newspaper. Right. You could flip through the classifieds. Everything was there at one point. That's where you got to find a job. Male pattern baldness likes long walks on the beach. You'd go to find a job. It'd be the classifieds.
Starting point is 01:24:38 I remember those days. Sell something. Everybody sells on Facebook. Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, that was classifieds. Sell your furniture or your old TV. Social media, that was classified. That was my first job was a newspaper delivery guy. I started off with like 30 customers. And then this is how I learned about money at a young age.
Starting point is 01:25:00 So I was 12 or 13, I think, had my own paper route and like called up my paper route manager and was like, man, I want to make more money. I want to buy more stuff. You know, how do I make more money? Yeah. You got to have more newspapers. He said, you ever heard of Diddy? But you got to have more subscribers. Long story short, I built the route from, like, 30 customers up to 80.
Starting point is 01:25:22 Nice. So it was, yeah. That's real nice. I used to love, like, the classified was yeah that's yeah that's real nice i used to love like the classifieds was my section like special yeah at 110. did you i was about to say you did a paper route yeah yeah yeah and i'm gonna tell you something i did it on a bicycle did you yeah i did and uh sunday was horrible oh yeah sunday was always the worst it would take me four trips on sunday that's papers in the front, papers in the back. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:25:46 Because you had the sling over saddle thing that you would wear, you know. Right. And, yeah, it'd take me four trips because I had basically over by McClellan High School, all of that area over there. Right. Or a large portion of it. And the craziest part when i think about it i don't know if it was the same for you but a we had to go get the papers uh and roll them okay then you take them you throw them the crazy part is i had to go door to door and collect the money
Starting point is 01:26:18 yeah did you have to do that i had two on a few of them at that point like credit cards were starting to really automatic payments payments, online payments. I never even thought about that. There were still a few people that, yeah, I had to, and if they didn't pay, I had to stick a little note on their door. Like, I'm not going to drop off any more newspapers until you. Yeah, I had to collect. You know, I'm 12, 13 years old. Going to adults, shaking them down because they're hiding out because they don't want to pay the $6 for the month of subscription you know and i have to keep going over there um or i have to deal with complaints i
Starting point is 01:26:50 had one guy he uh because some people want it right on the porch they want it they want it there and uh i always you know do it on this guy's porch or for the most part and i think maybe this day it must have not quite made it right and he and they would file a complaint yeah okay and that complaint would come on the top of your newspaper bundle and since the first thing you see is this complaint so i started saving him for last every day because you almost always have a few extra papers you don't mess with your newspaper guy no and he had that those metal doors with all the curly q things in it i would just take as many as i had left over
Starting point is 01:27:30 and shove them in that door he was getting five six eight papers a day and i finally got another message that says he got the point yeah i was a prick then too i had no doubt about it man that's an og hustle though the paper yeah man well yeah it's not even a job anymore is it yeah no you're not for kids i'm sure i mean but that's an interesting question like because i don't know do kids do paper routes no but i'm a dad of a six-year-old like there's no i was just thinking about that there's really outside of chores there's no way for me to teach him about you know going and working and getting money yeah outside of chores and i can't tell you the last time i saw like a paper at the end of the driveway or you
Starting point is 01:28:13 know it again no the last the last time that i mean i remember paper routes and kool-aid stands the last time i had an interaction with a newspaper it was when the guy come and go said would you like a free sunday paper and i was like no it's free no thank you man i'm good i don't need yesterday's news today i appreciate it you know i can look up what's on tv but i don't even care because you know who watches tv anymore all right i mean do you does anybody use a tv guide that was a big thing that was like the most important damn thing in does anybody use a tv guide that was a big thing that was like the most important damn thing in the paper was a tv guide man sit there and watch roll around and they show little tv shows yeah but yeah the tv guide man oh yeah that was big time man well if
Starting point is 01:28:58 you back then if you missed the show you missed the show that's right right that was yeah no dvr no recording you have to get a vhs tape and oh my god that's the worst man horrible horrible i used to see when when those finally came into vogue uh my dad he he owned a car dealership and i'm pretty sure that there were other things happening too yeah um i don't know what those things were but i know that he came home with a vcr and uh he said uh yeah i got it out of the trunk of a car i don't i understand that means it was hot yeah um i don't know but anyway it took both he and i to move it in the house it was a two-man lift wow i'm not kidding you it was about like the size of a small copier it was massive man and it had a top load and you'd push it down you know yeah it was crazy
Starting point is 01:29:53 man but my parents uh would get into fights because my mom wanted to record her soap opera if she missed it so she would always record it and apparently she made the mistake of recording over a show called lonesome dove which was like a mini series it was super popular back then okay my dad lost his shit yeah he's right in the middle of this western because it was a western they're riding you know their horses and they're they're coming up on the bad guys and all of a sudden it cuts into you know some soap opera in the hospital and he's like what the oh my god yeah rich you'll enjoy this being a wrestling guy one of the biggest heartbreaks of my childhood i think it was like wrestlemania 19 yeah um wrestlemania is usually like in march or april or usually usually yeah it still is yeah well i'd went I went on spring break with my dad.
Starting point is 01:30:45 I never saw my dad. I went out of state. But I talked my parents into ordering WrestleMania, which I think is like $20 back then. I was going to be on spring break with my dad that Sunday. So I set it to record, did the tape thing. I don't remember how old I was, but I got back home to watch it. It's been days since WrestleMania.
Starting point is 01:31:03 You didn't have social media. No spoilers, yeah. Unless your friends called you up yeah yeah exactly but i got home and went to play it i think it played like the first two matches and something in the tape oh no that was heartbroken oh yeah i think it was steve austin and the rock oh yeah and uh yeah wow and yeah you were though i mean because back then i mean that was it there was no way to go back and watch it to talk my parents into buying the 20 oh yeah oh god yeah we didn't order pay-per-views oh no that was when you had to call a number for the pay-per-view like and they would build the cable uh because you it wasn't nobody giving no credit cards. First of all, most people didn't have them.
Starting point is 01:31:48 Second of all, they certainly weren't giving them over a phone. I was too poor to even have cable, let alone pay-per-view. But my best buddy, six doors down, his parents let him get the event. So he would always go and order the pay-per-views and record them and then run the VHS down to my house. Not DVD. Run the tape down to my house after the event and be like, you've got to watch this. So, obviously, you were past.
Starting point is 01:32:16 I mean, did you watch videos, VCRs? Oh, yeah. When you were younger? Oh, yeah. Okay. So how long did that before it was all gone basically honestly i think even when i moved out at 17 or 18 my parents still had the the videos well it would it had changed to the where it was vcr dvd combo right the new combo unit everybody had that yeah at one point they made it to where
Starting point is 01:32:41 you could use those to record your VHSs onto a DVD. Onto a DVD, yeah. Now, did you have cassette tapes? Oh, yeah. Did you have cassette tapes? Oh, yeah. Oh, you did. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:32:53 Okay. What was the first cassette you bought? I never bought any. My mother had a huge collection of classic rock ones. Okay. So you, okay. Yeah. Mom and you, Mom and the crew, Bad Out bad out of hell or no that's a i think
Starting point is 01:33:07 that's mate low is bad out of hell but yeah but uh the shout out the devil yeah shout out the devil a ton of old 80s uh rock stuff that my mom had yeah okay so that's what you were getting down to yeah everybody had their you know their uh wooden cabinet yeah yeah yeah that's right that's right that's in home and then i had the portable which was a black double side oh yeah yeah you know you flip over and unzip you got 30 on each side you know uh how about you man what uh you remember your first cassette oh god i don't i don't i remember there was a lot of them and i grew up like i listened to all my parents my dad was into, like, Elvis and oldies back then is what it was called.
Starting point is 01:33:47 So Chuck Berry. Right. I mean, my young musical influence goes all the way from Frank Sinatra to, you know, whoever was the popular guys at that time. Right, yeah. I would honestly say probably my first record, cassette, whatever that I can remember was probably the Beatles because my mom was always a music listener. And she was a huge Beatles fan.
Starting point is 01:34:08 She was a big Beatles fan. She's probably still got it. Yeah. Seriously. No, I understand. My mom, look, what your mom was to Beatles, mine was to Elvis. Yeah. And we had a shrine to Elvis at the house.
Starting point is 01:34:21 Yeah. I promise you, when I say a shrine, i mean there was an area that belonged to elvis and that was it and you didn't defile it my mom just saves everything anyways like i'm pretty sure in our house we still have one of the original phones that came in like the pouch and you put the antenna to the top of your car and yeah um who was it here on facebook sorry we got some more comments robbie said he doesn't even remember his first cd jeff says he was the rabbit ears that's what i was gonna say yeah no pre-order pre-order shane on facebook says how many of y'all were the remote control yeah no absolutely yeah no that's change it on the tv yeah yeah how many can remember watching a black and white tv
Starting point is 01:35:01 yeah i had one of those in my bedroom i had one used to you could just buy tv and plug it into the wall yeah it would work you didn't have to have the digital converter right now they they used to have an antenna or a lot of aluminum foil yeah we use a lot of that too i don't remember it wasn't a paper route but i did little stuff sold stuff and i'd saved up and bought like a three dollar black and white tv at a yard sale wow was it a little black one with the little square about four inches it was at one time it was white but by the time i got it it was yellow okay yes i know the one yeah that's right nicotine stained appropriately that was a big deal because i didn't have a tv in my bedroom and i saved up and then got me my own TV. And, hey, it was black and white, but I loved it.
Starting point is 01:35:46 No, I mean, that was the cool thing about, you know, being entrepreneurial as a kid. Because back then there were a lot of opportunities as a kid to make money. And most of them didn't involve giving up your BH. You know what I mean? No, I mean, I was a babysitter and uh I was a very popular babysitter because I was a good one you know I took I did what I was supposed to do and so I I probably babysat for three different families on the street that I lived on right I threw a paper route yeah uh I and when I threw the paper out I'd get stuff out of the trash clean it
Starting point is 01:36:22 up and have yard sales. I mean, yeah, I was doing everything I could to make it. Trading baseball cards, sports cards. Going around your neighborhood, you know, hey, I'll mow your grass for $5. Yeah, I did a lot of lawn mowing. That was what you did as a kid. I mowed a lot of lawns. Now my kids, they barely can start a lawn mower. Well, and that's barely start laundry, yeah.
Starting point is 01:36:42 Yeah, but that too. Yeah, that was just a big thing if you needed some money just asking neighbors hey what do you need what yeah yeah you can go you can wash the car i've washed cars i've stacked stones i've done i mean you would you just go around go what can i do to get five dollars leaves yeah oh my god that's the worst freaking league oh god oh i did hate that i did hate that, yeah. Yeah, it's funny, though, the differences between then and now. Mike.
Starting point is 01:37:09 You can't do. I could have. Not in a million years would I trust for my kid to go out and knock on people's doors and ask what he can do for them. No, it's different now. I mean, I know most people wouldn't. But, you know, I mean, most people wouldn't let their kids disappear for the entire day and come back at dark. That was my rule. I mean, most people wouldn't let their kids disappear for the entire day and come back at dark.
Starting point is 01:37:26 That was my rule. I mean, that was it. When the porch light came on, your ass better be home, you know. Yep. And I got caught out a few times and got my ass handed to me. Mike said he traded a joint for Tesla Mechanical Renaissance. Yeah, that was a good trade. That's a good tape right there

No, I thought I was in on that. It wasn't me and... I may have done it with you and Amanda, too. It wasn't Amanda, it was Marla. Marla, okay, that's right. So both of you have done it with you and amanda too it wasn't amanda it was uh marla
Starting point is 01:48:06 marla okay that's right so both of you have done it good deal yeah yeah all right so this is a new thing about the most searched slang for 2024 and some of these you may not know uh shows just how much language is changing it's a team from unscrambler they examine google search data of americans in every state to see which expressions they're googling so topping the chart and you would expect this with 260 000 searches the word demure you know that's been everywhere right but there are other ones too and let's see if you know what they mean uh sigma oh wait that's a thing now sigma i thought my kiddo was just being like you know quirky or weird or something i've been going around saying that all the time i think six sigma uh which is a
Starting point is 01:48:58 you know a corporate method of of uh efficiency but no it refers to a lone wolf who operates outside social hierarchies. It's a sigma. How about this one? Skibbity. Skibbity. I've heard it, but I couldn't tell you what it means. I couldn't pull something. It refers to a viral
Starting point is 01:49:19 internet trend that features animated videos of singing toilets. Skibbity. I had no clue no i was clued out yeah yeah how about hot two oh what is that oh god spit on that thing the girl that needs to go away oh she's not going away anytime soon bro have you heard about that whole entire viral yeah crypto coin thing yeah i look man everybody hates on her i don't love with her i don't know just how we talked about earlier with the body counts like that's funny that's perfect right yeah girl
Starting point is 01:49:51 or if i'm a single guy like i'm tracking her down you know uh she's doing very well and i don't think that crypto thing is going to be anything that yeah no we'll get mad because they lose money but if you invest in someone who's been famous for 15 seconds in an invisible form of money right you're the dumbass you're the dumbass oh man uh let's see uh how about this one schmaltz schmaltz that apparently refers to excessive sentimentality or melodrama uh cats k-a-t-z know that one anybody heard of that no a term for anything enjoyable fun or pleasing it can also mean yes cats cat c-a-t-z doesn't give me the origin all right uh you might have a preen i don't know would you what yeah you might have a preen yeah you might have to it's an adolescent who tries to act like a teenager
Starting point is 01:50:53 a preen yeah well you know now it says what's that slang like in your state and they say every state has its own unique terms so what is they only gave one for arkansas well you know and i've never heard of it herkle derkle what herkle derkle that's a tiktok trend for lying in bed lingering in bed all day i guess herkle derkle have you ever heard of that so if somebody comes up to you and you're just you know like i get a text message like hey what are you doing and i'm just chilling in bed not really doing anything i'm doing the hercule yeah yeah yeah yeah never in my life no me me either um all right how about delulu you ever heard of that one yeah like uh delusional that's right yeah yeah see that's the trend they like to shorten words yeah yeah because you need to be so much more efficient with your words right
Starting point is 01:51:53 uh let's see is there any other one here that um and now that they're shortening all these words you know what they have time for what researching news articles oh yeah that's a good idea that's a great idea uh if someone is based do you know what that means oh they're based b-a-s-e-d they're stuck there they're staying there that's where they're set up at yeah that's where i'm based i don't know i kind of think of it as like inebriated all right yeah it's neither um it is being unapologetically yourself and not giving a damn what anyone thinks you're based i'm not moved by political things i'm based okay you know i this is what i think i don't give a damn what you think it doesn't matter to me maybe you try to use all those
Starting point is 01:52:35 people assholes could be yeah maybe you didn't give it only you're just an asshole okay cool latasha says oh my god my daughter says all these new slang words. She never tells anyone what they mean. Oh, they like to be cryptic about it. Yeah. He's been going around the last week. What the Sigma? And I'm like, what the Sigma?
Starting point is 01:53:00 What are you talking about? Yeah, I don't even know if he's using it right. You should tell him when you get home. You know Sigma means lone wolf, right? Yeah, right. I mean even know if he's using it right into this you should tell him when you get home you know sigma means lone wolf right right i mean you're not really using it right yeah let's see that's what i did that's what i love doing or used to love doing to my kids i i've always loved slang anyway you know as a writer especially writing rants you know i want to stay as current as i can so i've always looked ahead at slang to go how can i incorporate newer language right uh because it just helps you reach more people you know and it makes it intriguing right right right uh and so i would learn them and i would start
Starting point is 01:53:35 using them and it would be so awkward for them when they'd be had their friends over and i'd come in and start dropping things you know dropping all these phrases yeah yeah yeah yeah no that kind of stuff and they were dead dead you know yeah it was fun though your parents used to do that to you you know no they weren't cool like that they did not do that to me no never embarrassed no try and act oh yeah no that no they didn't my my dad couldn't care less about being cool i do remember and i'll never forget my grandfather coming in one day and i was playing some music for my grandma i don't know why that i thought she might like some rock but i would i would play certain songs for my grandmother because she was my grandma right and my grandpa came in shaking his head and i'm like what what is it and he goes i done heard about all these bands this deaf tiger and flat snake

Oh, yeah, because that had to be satanic. I'm like, well, they're shouting at the devil not with him mom that didn't hold up you know she just don't play it when i'm around i don't want to hear that right okay all right all right uh did your mom ever tell you not to play something you know uh me and my mom are pretty close in age relatively we're 17 or 18 years apart so she grew up in the 80s so she was always uh you know
Starting point is 01:57:27 she's like she was there yeah so she my mom and i were that that that same type distance apart i think she was a 19 and a half actually but but the eras were different right you know and that's i was the 80s she was the 60s 70s more uh uh bigger of a contrast yeah yeah no it was a way bigger contrast because her her hard rock was credence yeah yeah you know that was edgy back then credence was edgy you know right my mom walked like motley crew and acdc oh yeah started listening to slayer y'all were smoking crack together and stuff. Yeah. No, it's all good. We're good. We're good.

Oh, they're having a sale. This has been Manners for Men. Fist bump. Dick punch.
Starting point is 02:00:55 Let's talk a little more about AI. According to this article, artificial intelligence technology is poised to wreak havoc on the music industry a new study shows that recording artists expect to lose nearly a quarter of their income in the next four years due to ai now i don't know if this is true i'm just sharing the information the study which was released wednesday by the international confederation of societies of authors and composers that is a long name. Found that the AI revolution will make tech companies even richer while artists will see revenue streams take a hit
Starting point is 02:01:34 unless government regulators step in. Do you want the government to ever step in? No, it's almost never the solution. Says music creators are at risk of losing 24% of their income by 2028. In the music sector, generative AI music is projected to account for 20% of traditional music streaming platforms, revenues, and 60% of music libraries by 2028. of music libraries by 2028 so they're going to use you know if you use music created by a human right in a commercial in any application that you might think of you're required to credit and pay a royalty right at that creator right so what they're saying is well if we use ai to create it then we don't have to pay anybody right and we don't have to worry about it have you heard And have you heard some of, like, I don't know if you all have checked them out, but
Starting point is 02:02:27 I've, I've, they're, they're not bad. Right, right. Who's not bad? The AI songs that it pumps out. Like, if you, like, you can just go to one. You got an album from one right now? I could actually probably find you a couple songs to play for real. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:02:40 I think I even had one, like, back when I made you that little video, the new opener video i had it come up with like a little possible song thing or whatever but like heck i know of there's there's even some wrestling promotions out there where wrestlers use their theme music is is a i generated well you can't tell a difference no did you hear about there's another example have you heard about the one with randy travis no what about they used ai to help come out with like a new song a new a whole new album and give randy back his voice and it sounds just like him but it's like young randy but it's not him no it's not him at all hold on so randy made a new album but it's not randy right it's not him at all. Hold on. So Randy made a new album, but it's not Randy. Right.
Starting point is 02:03:26 It sounds like him. They had this person like. Randy's company, his people used tech to put his voice back in. But technically they're Randy songs. Yeah, essentially. So like. Hang on, I'm looking it up. Give me just a minute.
Starting point is 02:03:47 Yeah, because this is the song that it did or one or one of them but yeah they were uh making it more i'm looking for but i'm just saying but this is something that his he put out and he's just using it to yeah okay country singer let's see so what happened to his voice well yeah he suffered a stroke oh this has been since the stroke oh okay basically you know he's been he didn't sing as well since then well yeah he suffered a stroke oh this has been since the stroke oh okay basically you know he's been he didn't sing as well since then well yeah he hasn't really been able to much at all yeah probably didn't sound as good what the ai thing no the songs after you have a stroke i'm sure i mean i don't yeah yeah probably not i'm guessing it's not quite in key probably not probably yeah not in tune i got it But it was a cool thing.
Starting point is 02:04:25 Well, no, that's super interesting that they did that. And that makes you start to wonder, okay, well, how many are already doing that? Right. How many artists are supplementing their voices with AI now? I'm not talking about auto-tune. I'm talking about AI. Straight up AI. Because that's different.
Starting point is 02:04:41 Because if you look at, for example, a Robert Plant if you look at look at a for example a robert plant you look at a vince neal uh when they were in their prime in their youngest period of singing their voices were so high you had to wonder if they had nuts right right right um fast forward to now and and they they you know they haven't been doing that but all of a sudden uh you know i wonder if they will right if they'll start making music been doing that, but all of a sudden, uh, you know, I wonder if they will, right. If they'll start making music and doing that, uh, that way. Cause that's, that's part of the problem. I think it speaks to just like the quality of music right now that AI can replicate something that sounds like it so easily, you know,
Starting point is 02:05:17 such a run in the mill. And I think that I was going to say, I have that. I can play this song by radio. Don't, don't, don't, please don't. No, it's not necessary. I'll take your word for it. But yeah, I think that that's an interesting point, but I think you're going to have a backlash. It's already happening in a way, but I think that the backlash will be, it'll go to a singer songwriter vibe for a while. It'll kick back to that because everything else go full can be electronically done well and that's what i'm
Starting point is 02:05:51 sure you could with this too but i'm saying that i think you'll go to that singer-songwriter vibe to counteract right the intensity of ai music well because i was kind of thinking the opposite like this gives all those songwriters the chance to really make it the same ability the artist instead of saying you know hey you make the song sound how you want it to sound i'll just write the words right now they can go no this is what it is this is how i wrote it this is what i want it to sound like and people would say that's not real but i would challenge you and say how many reading cards have you bought in your life right yeah it's the same because that message wasn't written by you right but you liked the message right right right it would it be any different i don't think so i mean if i'm a writer
Starting point is 02:06:34 and i can create a successful ai artist and i write all the music design the artist right why don't i why couldn't i be paid for that i mean it's like creating animation that is building your brand yeah i mean you know i think that's a good way to look at all the ai stuff i'm sure there's a ton of negatives that will come and yeah of course yeah but on the same on the opposite side of the token it's that much more opportunity for anybody who wants to utilize it let me tell you something every every time society improves, steps up, goes to that next level, innovates, there are always those who give you the catastrophic warnings. Right. And I promise you at some point.
Starting point is 02:07:16 Oh, it's going to happen. In history. Listen to me. At some point in history, somebody said, you kids in these newfangled books right sitting around looking at these dumb ass words are going to ruin the planet because you're never going to get any work done right absolutely and then fast forward to you kids looking at all these videos yeah wasting time looking at videos well hell i damn near became a carpenter through videos yeah right through
Starting point is 02:07:41 youtube you know what i mean i explain that to people being an electrician too it's like you've seen it throughout history all the time like the the lantern guy was really mad oh that's right that's right so on and that's every one of them radio tv and yeah this led you know we you're gonna make me get rid of all these light bulbs I mean everything almost new we push back on yeah you know and especially if it's a real game changer you're going to have a percentage of people go this is going to take everybody's job yeah you know yeah i mean the horse and carriage guy i thought the car was gonna you know i mean you have that goal not to cut out the middle person and keep more money for yourself that's
Starting point is 02:08:21 the one consistency is innovation wins every time. Right. Be against it for emotional or political reasons, but. Ultimately, if it's a good innovation at work. Yeah. Yeah. Most of the bad ones don't, but the good ones do. No, it's, it's exactly right. And, and that's why whether, you know, electric cars succeed or fail has zero to do with the government or any type of uh you know rebate it has to do with do people want it right is it good is it needed right the only reason that i will not get an electric car is because you're smart yeah yeah that's because honestly the distance i'm sorry that's long you know 24 hours to charge it up why am i going to drive 300 miles to wait a day and charge it up i don't know if it takes that long i just know that right now it doesn't make sense right and
Starting point is 02:09:10 until it makes sense i don't want to do it right right you know it's too expensive for too little uh i'm not really helping the planet with it right um i just i don't i don't buy it right now now i would love to drive one once just because the zero lag of speed. That I'll admit. Electric car is superior to combustion in the ability to deliver instant speed. I mean, it's boom. There's no lag. And so that intrigues me.
Starting point is 02:09:43 But beyond that, no, I don't know right i don't really care i i want my cars to make a sound makes me more comfortable you know i don't know yeah that's part of i thought they do don't they do like a little jingle or something when they drive by or something and they can yeah to to to warn the the deaf or the blind people not the deaf people the blind people you know hopefully the deaf people see it but uh all right it's fun to watch the uh technology develop though in real time you know we're seeing it happen you know in 30 years it'll probably just be a run in the mill right oh no i mean look we won't know it uh maybe we will when we're super old but you
Starting point is 02:10:19 people will reflect back on the period let's say from 2015 to now or whatever, when this period ends and they're going to go, this was a historical period. A lot of shit happened right here. You know, this is where the rubber met the road, you know, and who knows what's going to come out on the other side of this wash, but there's stuff coming out on the other side of the wash. You know what I mean? All right.
Starting point is 02:10:49 Let's do this, shall we? Let's do this. Let's do this. Let's do this. Let's do this. Let's do this. Let's do this. Let's do this.

Let's do this. Let's do this. Let It's not funny, Luke. You're right. And if people laugh, they have real problems and they need to deal with them. That's a damn thing. Yeah, this is a bad but good story. A hiker was lost in the backwoods of British Columbia for more than five weeks. He's now been found alive.
Starting point is 02:11:44 Sam Benistick, he's 20. He was reported missing back in October after he failed to return from a 10-day fishing and hiking trip in the Rocky Mountains. Wow. Authorities had called off the search and the rescue efforts because it had been so long and temperatures had dropped at times to negative four degrees.
Starting point is 02:12:07 He was found on Tuesday by two people headed to a lake trail who recognized him as the missing hiker coming towards him. Given all the time he was missing, different outcomes had been feared. We're very grateful. The family's thrilled. He had simply gotten lost. Police said he stayed in his car a couple days, then walked to a creek where he camped for 10 to 15 days. At the time he went missing, he was equipped with a tarp, a backpack, and a few supplies. He then moved down the valley, built a camp and shelter
Starting point is 02:12:40 in a dried-out creek bed. Winter conditions ramped up with snowfall and eventually he made his way to the area where he flagged down the rescuers uh man that would so it doesn't even sound like he was really hurt he was just lost and yeah well yeah but i mean think about how long he's been gone just the fact that he was able to survive it was that's one of my worst years in the backcountry of montana is getting lost out there like that that's uh that's horrifying yeah oh i bet it would be i mean it'd be so easy to get completely turned around in that amount of you realize how spoiled you are
Starting point is 02:13:15 out there because there's absolutely no signal right and so when you just got the sun and your cardinal directions to go off of and how quick you can get turned around wow yeah i need that i need that iphone yeah yeah maps no no doubt about it um all right the latest targets of anti-semitic attacks spreading through western europe were jewish teens and kids in the uk on thursday two buses carrying students from a london jew Jewish school were attacked by a swarm of people who were hitting them with rocks, swearing, saying, F Israel, nobody likes you, F off, you bitches. They were filming us like they were enjoying it. There were lots of people in the street, nobody trying to stop them. After the 14s got off the bus, they began throwing heavy rocks at the buses. An 11-year-old old students said i don't
Starting point is 02:14:05 know where the rocks where they got them from maybe they had them in bags none of us knew what to do uh they were all swearing at us videoing us we didn't know what we were going to do uh man that's crazy that is i mean look i you know no matter regardless of whatever beliefs you may hold uh kids are yeah they're kids man right uh and kids are assholes by the way i mean they they are mean to each other uh without a doubt we all know that i think um yeah that's hard to imagine you're you know who's gonna throw rocks at buses and i mean it's just that's crazy to me i don't know man all right uh Let's see what else is going on. I really like, even further though, I want to know how the kids are getting brought to this opinion. If that makes sense.
Starting point is 02:14:53 Oh. Like you're telling me that they should hate the Israelis or the Jewish people, whatever they're going after. As a kid, you're not thinking at least i wasn't thinking about that stuff when i was a kid i can't imagine these kids are just makes me wonder you know the it's a different world yeah yeah it is different it really is oh no hold on i needed that story hold on one second let me see if i can grab it from another source latasha says she's got an electric car speaking about the electric car she's got an electric car as a rental once yeah she says the battery drains too fast using the features of the car drains it faster it gave her anxiety you never know other you know how far you're going to make
Starting point is 02:15:34 it where you can yeah i could see that i could see where it would yeah absolutely all right a utah child care center was shut down uh in early december after a child's toes were severed by a lawnmower accident. Yeah, that's right. Shundara Child Care in Cedar City had to close down by December 4th, according to the Utah Department of Health and Human Services. The Child Care Center didn't immediately return a comment or anything. But the inspector said that a staff member had mowed the back lawn with 14 kids present. During this incident, a child was seriously injured, multiple toes were severed, and the child required emergency surgery. They also found other issues, improper ratios uh not reporting accidents uh they allowed two infants
Starting point is 02:16:29 to sleep in a baby bouncer chair instead of cribs just you know a bunch of real shoddy place but running over you know severing the toes of a kid with a lawnmower that's that's a tough day as a kid you know i mean yeah that's yeah that's that's just not good to be honest with you i don't like it uh in a shocking and bizarre incident four individuals were arrested in delhi in connection with a gruesome murder that appears to be linked to superstition and black magic the police began their investigation after discovering a severed head and a drain that's always a good time to start the investigation. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:17:08 A little late. Yeah. Something might've happened here. They've now arrested four suspects, all of whom are believed to practice occult rituals. And you think this stuff doesn't happen, huh? The accused are allegedly responsible for the murder of a 29 year old man
Starting point is 02:17:24 whose head was severed and used in occult practices. The severed head was later hidden in a drain after they became frightened. The severed head recovered at the drain near the metro station in Delhi. The decapitated body was found a few streets over. Although police arrested two accomplices of the main suspect, the head and primary suspect remained missing at that time. But they finally arrested all four. According to the commissioner,
Starting point is 02:17:56 the accused believed that obtaining a human skull would help them gain immense wealth through secret rituals. They targeted Raju Sa, a 29-year-old man who worked at a local restaurant near the market. His parents had passed away 15 years earlier. Over several days, the accused lured him into a friendship with promises of drugs and alcohol. That's always what lures me.
Starting point is 02:18:23 That's the bait that lures me i know that so i feel for raj raj i'd be decaffeinated too brother you got some good weed and a drink yeah i'm on the way bro uh over several days uh they lured him uh he was strangled to death hung from a ceiling fan jesus yeah yeah yeah. Then they severed his head and used it in the rituals. All right. Many things apparently were perpetrated on the head during the ritual. Many things were perpetrated on the head during the ritual. You understand what I'm saying?
Starting point is 02:19:01 I'm nodding my head up and down, and I'll shake it left and right. Do you understand that something went in the mouth of that head? That's all I'm going to tell you. And that was apparently part of the ritual. Why it's part of the ritual, I don't know. Or was it? It may have just been what the guy said. No, no, this is part of the ritual, y'all.
Starting point is 02:19:18 Just watch. Because everything else hasn't been crazy enough. Why the hell not? Yeah, are you sure, Rog? Is that part of it? Yeah. So that's today. That's bad.
Starting point is 02:19:28 That's bad. That's bad. Okay. Actually, glue that knob back on. Before your wife gets home. What the hell happened? Son of a... All right.
Starting point is 02:19:39 Well, it's been an awesome day. I want to, first of all, mention Titan Roofing Company, man. If you're in need of a roof, go to titanroofingcompany.com. Jeremy and Josh over there are very good people, and they do great work. And what they can do is they get things approved, others won't. So if you had some roof damage, maybe you got turned down on your claim. Call Titan Roofing Company or go over to titan to Titan roofing company.com. Let them come out. They specialize in getting those kinds of claims approved, and then you can get a new roof for a deductible. And that's a lot better
Starting point is 02:20:14 than dropping 10 or 20 grand out of your pocket. I promise you that, uh, the other thing you want to do and boy, it ain't the time of year to have your heat go out. You've gotten a little taste of it here and there. Don't let mess up if you're having a heat problem reach out to cabotmechanical.com david lindsey over there uh they'll take very good care of you they're very honest uh i've told the story too many times already but i was going to buy a new air unit at least according to the guy that came before David. David said, you don't need that $187. We'll get this thing done. And as he saved me about, you know, $9,000 that day, I thought, you know, I kind of like this guy around. And I've used him ever since, not just at one house, but at two different houses. Now
Starting point is 02:21:02 he's worked for several of my clients, and he's really great. They're great. So go to cabotmechanical.com. What do you got going the rest of the day, Bundy? What's up with you, man? Oh, man, I'm going to be working in the city today over off Reservoir Road and got some paperwork to top up for some of your clients off of Lynch over there. Yes.
Starting point is 02:21:24 And, yeah yeah man just working i love this client that you're talking about because it's one of those cases where they're a brand new uh to investing in home right okay this is their first investment home they purchased here and uh so it's been really interesting helping them through the process and helping them figure out you know how it works you know how it's different than tv and you know the things that happen in the real world uh when you when you do these projects because it's not all glitz and glamour and money right you know it may seem like it you know when you watch hgtv house and you know they don't show you the 18 things
Starting point is 02:22:05 that were you know cost them three times more because they didn't know yeah uh it was really cool helping them out so they they are super nice uh he talked kind of like arnold schwarzenegger yeah yeah it's great uh what do you got going the rest of the day rich oh man go home work the what we call the shoot job you you know, the regular job. Yeah. And, you know, hang out around the house, catch up on some things. I'm trying to maybe possibly move a little closer to this area. That's what I was hearing you say earlier, thinking about coming to the Rock.
Starting point is 02:22:36 Yeah. Yeah. You know, just ready for a change of scenery. And honestly, man, Hot Springs is getting expensive to live in. Is it really? Oh, dude. So crazy. Wow. Like, you? Oh, dude, so crazy. Wow.
Starting point is 02:22:45 You can't even find, and I consider myself lucky, but you can't even find a two-bedroom apartment in Hot Springs for below $1,300 now. Wow. Really? That is insane. That is crazy. Yeah. And I'm just, you know, it's just not time for time for.
Starting point is 02:23:00 I don't know. I really don't know. Have a lot of people, has the expansion of Oak Lawn brought a lot of new people in or something? I don't know i really don't know have a lot of people as the expansion of oakland brought a lot of new people in or something i don't know if it's that i don't know if they're just trying to shove out the undesirables or what but like you're you're not only getting rid of you know the crackheads or anything you're getting rid of the average joe right guy that yeah we just want rich people here not yeah not you we don't want you here rich just taking it over or something i don't know i will say i'm pretty avid at uh the horse
Starting point is 02:23:30 track during the season are you and i can definitely tell in the last couple years since i put that expansion that it used to be you know one two races out of the year it was a packed house yeah it's almost every race yeah okay so that that expansion may be part of it for sure for sure yeah well not only do you have uh the people coming but you have employees yeah yeah you know when you have a big gaming operation there are a large number of employees involved and that the number of people that stay there just for the horses um you know they've got i don't know we've done a tour of oakland if you get there real early in the mornings before the races, they'll give you a tour. And they essentially have a whole small village on the other side of the track.
Starting point is 02:24:11 The houses, the trainers, the rockies, the owners. Yeah, so for one horse just right there, you've got three people that are living on-site or at least semi-on-site throughout the year. Yeah, and that's not counting all the ancillary people that are around town otherwise. And what time does this game start at tonight that we got this bet on now? I don't know. I think 6.30, 7, something like that.
Starting point is 02:24:34 That's right. They bet on the, what is it, Michigan and Arkansas. They're playing in New York tonight for the Jimmy V Classic, so it'll be a fun game. Who is Jimmy V? I have no idea. The Jimmy V Classic. Jimmy V could be a nazi for all we know i don't know i'm celebrating i don't know he is but yeah yeah surely not i'm i'm certain he's probably chances are highly against it but you
Starting point is 02:24:58 know of course you know i saw that just work on some arken brawl stuff yeah baby that arken brawl yeah uh chair shot versus the table shot. That's the bet. Yeah, that's the bet. All right, all right. Let's see. Well, I will be doing some real estate work. I've got a couple different showings today,
