Guests: Joe Exotic, Theron Cash, David Lindsay, Eugene Belcourt, Amanda Parker, Kerry Roetzel

you you You Good morning. Yeah, that's right. Let's go. Let's do this thing. What is up, everybody? Good morning. Yeah, that's right. Let's go. Let's do this thing. What is up, everybody? Good morning to you. We barely made the broadcast, I think. Well, we were in there talking about Arkansas coming up January 25th. We were talking about the matches coming up.

I was working on picking out my outfit. Yeah. Y'all are in for a treat. Oh yeah. I'm going all the way. Oh my goodness. I'm actually going to bring my, my heavyweight belt. Yeah. Yeah. That's the one thing I held on to in the exchange of presence and property with my soon to be ex-husband. I was like, no, that's mine. No, I'm keeping the championship belt. No doubt. You've got to keep the belt. Yeah, right?

That's what it says, too. Oh, is it? That's great. The world's greatest wife or something. That's hilarious, actually. I think so. And it was like a heavy belt. Oh, yeah.

It's the real deal, yeah. Oh, yeah. I mean, you can do that now. If anybody is out there looking for those last-minute gifts, the unique gifts, the hard-to-buy for, you can get pretty much anything on a belt. I know that you can at Discount Trophy. I guess you can do it online.

Of course you can do it online. I know Discount Trophy, that's where last year at the Chili Cook-Off, I had the idea, let's do a belt instead of a trophy. Because you brag about it all year and it gives you some shit-talking ability. You've got to have a belt. So we went and talked to them, and they were able to make that belt, you know, the last year that we did it. They're good people, too. I've been using them for decades, probably.

Any nonprofit I worked for, any event we ever did, anything where there was a competition, we used discount trophies. I don't even know. Is there anybody else besides them? I don't know. I've never used anyone besides them to be honest with you hey uh let me mention this just right off the bat because you may not know um so and this is really cool and really exciting for uh everybody on the team but certainly gunner and i uh behind the scenes we've been going through this process for a reality show called

The Blocks. Okay. And The Blocks was, it was created by Wes from The Challenge. A lot of people wouldn't know that Wes, unless you're just a big reality show person, you wouldn't know that he is an entrepreneur. And he has been the whole time. But a few years ago, he created a reality show called the blocks where companies or startups could come in and compete to be you know the best at

at what they do but this particular show is about making you know how to make your your business better how to grow your business you know yeah uh so you know it each day that you're there there's a different theme that you're doing it may be a marketing theme it may be this it may be that and you know you work with these uh very very very rich and successful entrepreneurs you know who know exactly what they're're doing. And that's exciting on its own, because you never know who you're going to shake hands with that thinks you're cool and goes, hey, I want to be part of that. You know what I mean? But so every day at the end of each day, a member of the group has to get up and give a presentation to everyone else about what they've

done, what they've done and what they've learned and how they're going to apply it and sell the vision and each day the person who does the best at it uh selling the vision uh wins money and i feel like i can sell the vision oh i've you know 100 i feel like i can get up there and talk to them and get them excited you know uh but the experience uh and and you can, you win $10,000, you could win $10,000, which would go towards the business. But yes, but while you're there, you're actively working on your own business. So you know, you're literally, it's literally to benefit the show and to help us get more reach, more marketing, better advertisers, you know, all of those different things. And so here's the deal.

The deal is that it's in Tulsa, so it's not that far. That's not that bad. Yeah, it's not that bad. We had to be gone for a week. That's not too bad. I can live with that. But we have to be able to cover the expenses of it that it costs to be part of it. You know, because we have to cover our travel, our hotel, and our food.

And so we do have a GoFundMe up today. Listen, if you can help, it's awesome. If you can't, it's okay. It's not a big deal. Share it. But, yeah, could you share it? Sharing costs nothing. If you want to see us, we would be on Amazon Prime, which is kind of dope, you know, to be on there.

I'd watch you. Yeah, so if you want to help us be on this reality show, we've got about a week to make that commitment that we're going to do it. And, you know, it's a big commitment, to be honest with you. I love it. But we really, really, really, really, really think it would be such a great opportunity for the show and for everybody. I mean, for entertainment purposes, just to know what happens behind the scenes, how that works and everything. I think it's amazing. I mean, it very much embodies those core values and whatnot that I love so much. You've got your givers gain, right? You've got these entrepreneurs, these other businesses,

gain, right? You've got these entrepreneurs, these other businesses, these successful individuals that want to give back what they've learned and help other people avoid the pitfalls that they have or help them look at something differently. You know, when I was in nonprofit, we did things called SWOT analyses. So you got your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. And there's always this beautiful opportunity when you have outside perspective, people that are emotionally connected. Yeah, they're not too close to the project. Yeah, they can see. They're very objective.

Yeah, they can see the trees, not just the forest. Right. Yeah, and I love that. That's fantastic. And to be selected. Yeah, no, it was quite a process. I mean, as I said, you know, we had to, first of all, you know, submit an application and get their attention. Then we had to do videos.

They sent us a series of questions, and each one had a video. We had to video respond to it. Then they did a call, you know. Wow. And then finally we got word yesterday that we had been selected, and I was just like, wow, this is – I kind of didn't expect we would. You know, it was fun to go through the process, but I was like, you know, chances are against it. It's a radio show. You don't have we would. You know, it was fun to go through the process, but I was like, you know, chances are against it. It's a radio show.

You don't have a product. But I do. You know, you don't have a three. Right. I'm not making widgets. Yeah. But they actually were very, very, very excited about what we do because they said it's something that they don't get as much of and that they have a lot of people that they feel like could benefit us, you know? So I, I'm excited.

Um, so like I said, if you can, that is so awesome. If you cannot, it's okay. I get it. But man, we, we sure want to do this. And sharing is free. Yeah. Yeah. Now you can definitely do that.

If, if, if just do nothing else, share it it would be awesome and i think the current algorithm is that if you care if you do the little care reaction yeah that gets um more exposure i think that's the current algorithm because i didn't know i haven't even used that well about a year ago it was heart reactions you had to use the heart reaction for it to garner more traction and yeah that versus a thumbs up yeah yeah and i think now it is the care okay when are we going to get the eye roll yeah right reaction i want how about the middle finger that's a good one too can we start a friggin email campaign or something yeah we definitely can't i scroll sometimes i'm like oh my god yeah no i feel you on that all right let's get to a little bit of news uh I want that. I scroll sometimes, I'm like, oh, my God. Yeah, no, I feel you on that.

All right, let's get to a little bit of news. Residents of New Jersey have gotten more frustrated by inaction over these drones hovering over the state. Law enforcement put out a message to them. They said, hey, don't shoot these drones. People have been shining lasers at them. Officials say it's actually been shining the lights into the eyes of the people piloting manned aircraft. They're worried that someone might end up taking a shot or bringing down a non-drone aircraft that someone is piloting. There have been 5,000 reported sightings in the last few weeks. Wow.

So, yeah, that's very interesting, isn't it? Yeah, we're going to listen. Yeah, don't shoot it down. Yeah, no, come over here. Come over here. Don't look at me. Please come over here. I want you to.

Please come over to Saline County. Yeah, do that. Please, send the drone there. Man, sirens have been insane between Pulaski and Saline County the past few days. I don't know if it's residual effects from the fullki and Saline County the past few days. I don't know if it's residual effects from the full moon or just end of the year. Like, it has been insane. Really?

I don't know. I think people are bored. Well, they're trying to get Christmas presents. Something. Like, something. If you hadn't mailed out Christmas packages, your time is almost up, according to the Postal Service. Today is the last mailing date to make sure it gets there before Christmas for first class and ground advantage. UPS says packages will need to be with them by tomorrow for their three-day select, and FedEx was yesterday, so you're too late for that. You're already too late.

As for Amazon, you know, you just have to check and see, you know, how that goes. Arnold Schwarzenegger is getting in the holiday spirit. He's going to play Santa Claus in a new Amazon movie. The action icon was seen with a white beard and a festive sweater on the streets of New York. And he took to social media raving about the director Adam Shankman and co-star Alan Richson. Alan Richson is the guy from the new Reacher series. If you haven't seen that, that's a great man. You know what?

As a hetero guy, I can tell you that is a nice, he is a specimen of a man. I mean, there's just, he is a massive wall of a man to begin with, but he has a, yeah, he's super attractive guy. Yeah, no doubt. I love that you're securing your masculinity to the point where you can you can say another man is attractive you know some guys just can't do that i don't know i mean i'm not saying i want to get

with him but i'm just saying i find him yeah he's a yeah i mean game recognized game you know what i'm saying a new york state guy got a big surprise. He was doing some work in his backyard, and a complete mastodon jaw was peeking out from the ground. What? Yeah, it turned up hiding behind a plant in the yard. The Scotchtown man started digging with his fingers when he spotted two huge teeth. When he saw two more, he called the experts and they came from New York State Museum and the university. It was a complete mastodon jaw. The first unearthed in New York in over a decade. It had a rib fragment and some other things too, but they'll carbon date it and

they'll do research on it and all that. But that's cool though. I mean, that'd be a cool thing to find, I think. I love how it's like he saw two teeth and he was digging and when he saw two more he decided to call the experts well i mean you know what you got there i mean he was smart enough to recognize something was big i probably would have called i'd have just called a buddy yeah yeah i was gonna say i just kept digging responsible and called them early no no no we would have we would have invited some folks over and had a little party that's like the question you know you always see and uh you know if you found uh like a a big bag of money on the beach are you are you keeping the money yes hell yeah now am i going to be pursued for that reason and maybe murdered possibly but i'm going to take i'm going to

roll the dice i'm taking the money don't tell nobody that's like i always get amazed when these guys you know called the police because three bells of cocaine just washed up on the beach i'm like did you yeah i'll call them hey a bell of cocaine just washed up you know what i'm saying i mean money's money, baby. If 20 bucks is 20 bucks, a kilo is a kilo. That's right. A kilo is a kilo. Santa, it's been a tradition for decades for kids to write letters to Santa and many get dropped in the mailbox. The post office in Converse, Texas, is quietly at a program to respond to those letters. Staff scan them. They post images online with the names removed so residents can adopt the letters.

The post office spokesperson said the public's been adopting kids, making their Christmas wishes come true. It's all anonymous. And mail carriers make the deliveries. Many of the letters from kids don't ask for toys. They just ask for help with groceries and other things for mom and dad, which is cool yeah it's sweet but i mean dang yeah i know i mean it is both of those you're right uh-oh hold

on what is going on there okay uh let's see no we're not doing that something's listening i'll listen to this the uh the biden last white house christmas party is in the books uh president biden hosted the event and it included Flava Flav. He was apparently the life of the party there. He got a private tour of the White House. I love Flava Flav. Yeah, he's very entertaining. He is, but, I mean, he showed up and showed out for the, you know,

Team USA and the Olympics with the women's water polo and just yeah i don't know he is um he's one of those people that i feel like has done a great job of reinventing himself or maybe not so much that but like changing a little bit yeah and evolving perspective on himself you know yeah i think so too i you know. You know, he should have, in theory, been done somewhere in the 90s. But he did. He has, for lack of a better term, reinvented himself multiple times, you know? Yeah, right. Was New York with him? Uh-huh. New York. New York. Tiffany Pollard? Yeah. Yeah. I love her. Yeah. Shout out to Tiffany. Yeah, what up, Tiffany Pollard? You know she's watching. Yeah, of course she is.

A 106-year-old woman is spilling how she managed to live so long. Florence Hackman. She's called Fireball Flow. And she says positivity and fireball whiskey are the answer to how she made it to 106. It's always alcohol-related. Yeah. Yeah, she probably smokes, too. Oh, she probably does that's why i refuse virginia slim ultra light 100 baby yeah i actually have my my mother used to smoke virginia

slums and um she's got a little bit of a hoarding uh hoarding into uh tendency like i do and um she smoked them so much uh back in the day the virginia slims that she got a um a nice like brass keychain yeah it was engraved with you've come a long way baby that's funny and we found it going through some stuff it's actually on my key ring that's hilarious i love it it's just so nostalgic for me i remember stealing my mom's b uh bs's you know yeah yeah I remember collecting camel bucks and Marlboro miles. I saved up to get an iron lung. My son has a Marlboro sweatshirt. Does he? Oh, wow.

Something that had been donated somewhere. That's hilarious. I wonder how many friggin' Marlboro miles. You know, those are so out of vogue today, right? But it's hilarious. I love it. so uh out of vogue today right but it's hilarious i love it the 1547 page text of a short-term funding bill will keep the government funded till march 14th it was uh released last night by congressional leaders so they avoided a partial shutdown or shutdown um yeah a short-term funding

bill that's 1547547 pages. Wow. Yeah, no, that's perfect. Let's see. A classified briefing was held on Capitol Hill yesterday for members of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence by the FBI, CIA, and the director of the DNI. On the drone sightings, the Foreign Affairs Committee chair told C-SPAN he thinks they're spy drones. He said, Communist China's very good at this stuff.

We know they bought land around military bases. And that is true. I mean, they did go around buying up land by the military base, and we quietly said, okay. Yep. Let's see what else is going on. Okay, Luigi Mangione was indicted in manhattan uh for murder the charge with one count of first degree murder and the furtherance of terrorism two counts of second degree murder with one of those yeah charge as a killing as an act of terrorism uh he's facing two counts of criminal possession

just a bunch of charges you know so they got a bunch of misdemeanors on him, too. He was probably jaywalking or something. Yeah, they probably stacked everything up from he jaywalked to that. Yeah. I'm sure he resisted without violence, too. He probably, you know. Yeah, he struggled a little bit, but it wasn't, you know. But you may as well put resisting, yeah. Yeah.

The first step toward Inauguration Day yesterday, the electors gathered in state capitals around the country to cast their electoral ballots. Up next, the votes being sent by the fourth Wednesday in December, which this year falls on Christmas Day. The votes will be transmitted to Congress on or before January 3rd. And then, of course, January 6th, you know what goes on. January 6th, you know what goes on. If you've ever bought a live event ticket or booked a hotel or rental and paid more than you were expecting, the Federal Trade Commission finalized a new rule yesterday to stop that.

The rule would ban surprise junk fees on these types of transactions, including those listed as convenience fees or resort fees when customers check out. And they do hit you with those. I'm going to tell you what, take a cruise, take a cruise and find out, take a cruise. And listen, the cruise is a good deal. It's a great way to go on a vacation. But if you don't know what you're doing, you can get caught up in it because you can choose at the beginning, either I want to tip individually for service, or if you don't choose that, then they just apply a gratuity at the end. And you're like, uh, that's a lot more than I thought. Yeah.

You know, so be mindful of that. But this is good when they do this. But they said, whatever price you see is the price you're paying at the end. The rule will take effect around April. We'll save consumers 53 million hours and time wasted trying to find the actual total price of what they're buying and around 11 billion in savings over the next decade. So that's good. A two-year-old toddler in Spring, Texas is safe after falling from a third-story balcony, thanks to the quick actions of an off-duty Houston firefighter.

Zach Johnson, who was outside talking to his mom, noticed the kid climbing the railing, positioned himself below to catch her as she fell. The heroic rescue has left a lasting impact on everybody involved and earned him a lot of praise from the family and the fire department. I love that. Yeah, that's a good story. And the Salvation Army of Southern Indiana received a rare gold nugget weighing 15.5 troy ounces. That's valued at over 40 grand. That was during their annual Red Kettle campaign. Somebody just dropped it in. The donation arrived on Saturday, coinciding with the National Commander's Red Kettle Challenge, which is a nationwide competition for fundraising.

And their Christmas goal is $378,000, and certainly $40,000 goes a long way to that. So that's cool. Hey, this will make you feel a little bit old. Anniversary tours are a big deal. make you feel a bit old anniversary tours are a big deal fozzy has announced the spring leg of their 25th anniversary tour starting april 17th in springfield missouri no way the 25th year fozzy has been touring i cannot believe yes do you feel alone right Yes.

Yeah, there's going to be a lot of room switching, room hopping. Half of them ain't got their teeth already. And I told you that, right? I told you that my friend's dad, he was 92,

and she had to take him to the doctor, and the doctor. He had a little drip drip. Yeah. And she was like, oh, my God, that's crazy. The doctor said, yeah, that's not the most of it. He said that the better part is he doesn't know who gave it to him. Yeah. And it's like, this guy's 92 in a nursing home. And it's not his age.

And bro is getting around. You hear me? Getting around, living his best life at 92. I know when my grandmother was at her little assisted living place. And mind you, my grandmother was 104 years old when she passed away. And there were some younger gentlemen, like, in their 80s. Yeah, the 80s. Hitting on my granny.

That's great. Like, I want to, man, I just want to hook up with a chick who's 100. You know what I mean? I just want to one time. We're all like eyeballing you, bro. Yeah, young whippersnapper 87 years old rolling up in here on my on my grand grand we peep your shit after the success of cobra kai the long-awaited feature film from karate kid legends has a trailer it's a good trailer man look it'll make you nostalgic. The film brings back together or brings together Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio as they team up to tutor a

Chinese Kung Fu prodigy, Ben Wang. And it's a really good little trailer. So they're melding the. Yeah, I mean, they're kind of using. Jackie was in the one with Jaden. Oh, was it? OK. I didn't know. Is that right? That was actually a pretty good. Was it in the one with Jaden. Oh, was he? Okay. I didn't know. Is that right? That was actually a pretty good. Was it? It was cute. Okay.

Well, I trust you. It was cute. Well, I just thought you're seeing the original Karate Kid. And then I thought Jackie Chan. That's great, man. No. You know, he's probably the second or one of the, you know, probably the second greatest stuntman on the planet. He's phenomenal.

I like Jackie Chan. Everybody likes. Nobody doesn't like Jackieie i've never met anyone in my whole life act like he was you know oh yeah hilarious now in a rush hour yes i love rush hour but like jet lee oh jet lee's a badass he's a badass but he's you know he's he's like chuck norris he's super short yeah and he's also very to me but he's very very yes very proper very you know what you would expect martial artist yeah before he is an actor yeah he's not an actor yeah when he did that movie the one weapon oh yeah the

weapon yeah everybody was pregnant yeah yeah yeah whether it's like three or four i don't know i think it was four yeah four or five uh yellowstone the show went out with a bang both on the screen and the ratings the series finale drew 11.4 million viewers on sunday alone and 11 of those were pissed yeah probably the company claims that uh makes it the most watched episode in series history uh the finale aired on paramount and cmt uh spoiler alert why are people mad because he's gone um all i've all i've heard all i've read is that um it deserved a better ending than that oh okay well you know can i be honest i mean how many series that are loved series have reached an ending that people are happy with because i don't none of them almost none of them

i can think of that people go that that was a great way to end you know i mean people hated the sopranos ending yeah that's the most debated thing probably in tv history is that ending people hated that people hated the ending of lost uh um breaking bad breaking bad weeds yeah i mean so you tell me a series and and maybe the people know one. Okay, Seinfeld did go out right. That's the only one that I feel they went out. Yeah. I thought that was genius.

Man, I love that show so much when I was younger. Man, Jerry Seinfeld is a clinic on comedy, but man, he seems arrogant these days, doesn't he? Oh, yeah. I mean, he really seems like, like, yeah, no, absolutely. And all I see your videos, videos of him acting like that. Yeah. I just, you know, you hate to see that you really do because I love Larry David. Oh my God. And, and you know, the longer I've gotten from Seinfeld, the more I've realized that Larry David was really the force behind it. If I'm being honest honest absolutely i mean if you watch his show it's

i mean uh curb your enthusiasm which is hilarious also by the way my kid loves that movie i mean show yeah no it's it's great all right uh let's do a little bit of sports here um okay so wrapping up the nca NCAA football regular season, Bill Bender of Sporting News posted a final record against the spread of, well, he was 127-127. But his picks for this weekend's four college football playoffs, number 10, Indiana at number seven, Notre Dame. So Notre Dame wins but doesn't cover.

On 11, SMU at 6, Penn State. Says Penn State wins and covers. On Clemson at Texas, Texas wins and covers. I think that, I don't know. Probably, but I don't know. And then Tennessee at Ohio State. Ohio State wins but doesn't cover, it says. The spread on that's 7.5.

I don't know. Ohio State's pretty scorned, so I think they might cover. I think they got something to prove. I appreciate you still covering sports and stuff when it's just me here, knowing that I know nothing. That's all right. You're just fine there. I appreciate that.

Conor McGregor, we talked about it briefly, announced his intention to participate in a boxing exhibition, a.k.a. a money grab. Dancing. With Logan Paul in India. He'll make a nice chunk of change in basically a non-count fight of any kind. The former two-time UFC champ last fought in 2021 when he had his leg broke viciously. I mean, he had floppy foot, you know.

And that was a TKO loss to Dustin Poirier. On X, McGregor said the rumors of a bout with Lillia Toporia are false, but there's a preliminary agreement for the Paul fight, which he said will be a precursor to his return to the octagon. I don't know. Is he ever coming back to the octagon? I don't know. I don't even know if he is he past his prime at this point is he ronda rousey 2.0 i mean is he like the aaron rogers of um ufc maybe or favre whichever one that both of them actually isn't it both of

them that like to retire and then come back yeah no they they do they do i mean he's you know all his his beer and everything is being um taken out of bars or is it whiskey whatever it is i thought it was a beer no it's a whiskey but he sold his interest in it a while back so they're not really hurting him at this point he already got his money he's done with the proper uh whatever proper five proper number five something like that uh money he's done with the proper whatever proper five proper number five something like that now he's done with that what he says Connor is fucking done I'm gonna tell you what or none he the only equal he might have in S-talking is Ric Flair. I mean, like, Conor McGregor is the best shit-talker in history, man. Just all, I mean, it was crazy.

You know, I mean, he really is a peacock. And that was a lot of fun to watch in the prime. Oh, no, he's just a punk. He is a punk. An MLB study looking into the recent uptick in pitcher injury cites the quest for velocity as the number one culprit. The study interviewed over 200 people, athletes, surgeons, trainers, club officials, other experts.

In the study, potential rule changes are recommended to help limit the injuries, but they also admit that this study is just a first step to remedying the problem. Beyond velocity, other injury factors are modern workload management strategies, admit that this study is just a first step to remedying the problem beyond velocity other injury factors are modern workload management strategies training prior history rule changes advancement in surgery techniques and amateur contributions i'm not sure what that is none of that makes sense no it's just literally nothing so crap yeah so y'all are worried about the pitcher's one shoulder i guess they're worried they throw it too fast and it's a wear on them. I don't know.

Or are you worried about the velocity of the ball getting hit back at them? That's what I'd be more worried about. Yeah, right. During the big podcast, Shaq called out the current product the NBA is putting out is soft and unwatchable. O'Neal backed up his soft claim by saying that everybody's doing the same thing and it drives me crazy. The quest for three-point shots seems to have taken away from the individual

competition and matchups and could be partially responsible for fans turning off their TV. In one instance, Shaq said he turned off a game when he saw Austin Reeves being put on, who's 5'11", being put on 7'3 Victor Wimbignana. Yeah, I'll tell you what, though, about Austin Reeves being put on, who's 5'11", being put on 7'3", Victor Wimbignana. Yeah, I'll tell you what, though, about Austin Reeves, man. That kid right there. And he's an Arkansas guy, I think. Yeah, he has really made a name for himself this season.

He is, man, he's quite a dynamo, man. In other NBA news, the league has announced another change in the All-Star game format. They hope we'll get players and people to care about it. But this year you'll see a four-team, three-game, one-night tournament. Three of the teams will consist of eight All-Stars. The fourth team will be made up of rising stars, first- and second-year players. The winner of each game will be the one that hits 40 first.

The commissioner hopes this game will give the league and fans a more competitive All-year players. The winner of each game will be the one that hits 40 first. The commissioner hopes this game will give the league and fans a more competitive all-star experience. We'll see. You know, whatever. Hey, Michael Vick is now a college football coach. Yeah, he's the head coach, as a matter of fact. Former NFL quarterback will take over as Norfolk State's football programs coach. He told the outlet Monday he was having conversations about taking over the program.

He said, I know how to lead. I know what it takes. And you know what? He'll probably be a good coach. You know, he went through a real dark chapter in his career. He came back out. He did the work and humbled himself to, you know, get back into the graces of the public again. And so I think that he can really

teach them not only about using their ability but about humility as well and that you know what today that's a really good lesson to be getting out there and not sticking your head in the sand like a some damn ostrich right stuff like let's just not you know no don't don't just let it be responsibility yeah hold yourself accountable. Do the work. I mean, it really does work out. Yeah. Jalen Hurts has the Eagles back in prime contention for the Super Bowl, despite some criticism about his passing numbers slipping year over year.

He had 290 yards and two touchdowns, and Sundays went against the Steelers. So, anyway, yeah, I don't know what this is going to tell me here, but the bottom line is that, oh, I know why I brought this in. Here's why I brought this in. Here, just listen to this. Dominique Foxworthy, he's a former NFL defensive back and current analyst, said that the lack of backlash from his remark after the game was a result of pretty privilege

so he's saying that jaylen hurts has pretty privilege i'm like really pretty that's what you want to let he's a football player what are you talking about man pretty privilege are you serious right now wait a minute what a minute like they're a dude using the term yeah is that is that not uh a little cringe to you oh it's so cringe yeah mad cringe okay um i mean he's pretty but yeah he doesn't have pretty cut that crap everybody's got some kind of privilege okay pretty privileged oh but he made it you know because what comment did he make i don't no it wasn't any of those things it was not there was no ism or obia no none zero he was just talking about that uh basically they're saying he has he should be getting criticized more for his performance but he has pretty privilege yeah so yeah it, yeah, it's crap. Y'all.

Now, this is bad. This is weird. The fiance of Colorado Buffalo star and Heisman winner. Oh, snap. I saw all of this. Yeah, Travis Hunter broke her silence. Heard to the rocks. Man, amid a wave of criticism she got the last week for her interactions with the football player, Leanna Linnae received a brunt of wild online criticism

for her reaction at specific moments. She posted a video on TikTok to try and quell the outpouring of negativity. She said, I'm tired emotionally and mentally. I've seen people trying to make me out to be a person I'm not. But what's a testimony without a test of faith? She went over her relationship with him from the beginning, addressed the moments of criticism she got. She said that after Colorado's last win over Oklahoma State, that security was afraid of fans storming the field and wouldn't let fans or even family go down with the players,

and that that was what she was upset about. She said it wasn't deeper than anyone made it out to be. At the Adidas event, where she was accused of saying, what am I supposed to do, just sit here? She said she was asking Hunter whether she should stay with him or go with his family. She said the clip that surfaced were Hunter taking pictures with Adidas reps for social posts.

Some of the things I see people make up is crazy. It's not what happened. So I guess what everybody feels like is that she was super dismissive of him. Yeah, I saw the video. And what did you think? Well, whenever he was announced as the winner and he's going up there, everybody stood up except for her. She was like the last person to stand up clapping for him and

even had to be like hey yeah stand up and so one that's i mean that that's really where my where i took issue and you know and my number one to jump out of the seat bro i would have been clapping screaming hooting and hollering whatever unless i'd been told by some officials that i couldn't do that right obviously clapping and then with the video you know with it what am i supposed to do just sit here or whatever i mean okay if i say to you what am i supposed to do just sit here is there any positive or non-bitchy no okay no okay not really words matter but i will tell you this i watched his entire heisman speech man look that i'm telling you that kid right there is going to go far in the nfl he has a mindset about him that is just like it was literally moving to watch his speech uh because

all he really did was thank everybody in his life. I mean, he went through a number of people. And, I mean, if you watch that and you don't have a tear in your eye, honestly, something's wrong. And that's part of the thing is like, hey, girl. Right. Like, this is your dude. This is a good dude right here. Y'all are engaged.

Y'all been together. Be like, bro, are you serious right now? Yeah, it's a trip, isn't it? Even if you're upset, even if you don't like him. And it is his night, by the way. I mean, you know, this is this guy's Heisman. It doesn't matter. Nothing about me matters that night.

I'm only there to support. Thank you. That's my whole point. It doesn't matter. Even if you're a gold, I mean, I'm not saying she's a gold digger or anything like that even if you're a gold digging bitch you know if you're a gold digging bitch act right like people are looking at you we there's cameras on you there's phone cameras on you there's people watching you and i bet there might even be some thirsty ladies around that might be watching too to see you know how you act in so that she can

get in there and be like hey hey bro she wasn't really supportive of you was she oh no there's there's there's chicks lined up to move in right now they're all there his dms probably overflow they probably had to shut it down yeah and they understand a lot more than she does yeah like yeah his dms being penetrated more times never mind yeah yeah then the chick yeah that's right uh let's see uh tactical turkey said he bought a dog from michael vick did you oh thank you was it a good dog thank you for doing that they needed good homes uh sean said uh do they know who's flying these drones and why haven't they taken them down? Well, they do and I don't know.

I mean, that's facts. There's no, there's not a chance in hell that the government doesn't know exactly where that drone launched from, exactly where it came from, period. They know. Pert.

Isn't that what they said? Pert? I can't say it right. Pert. Period. Period. Yeah. Pert. Period.

What up, Martha Flockers? I know. I saw that. What up, Kevin? How you doing, K-Bird? I was love y'all. Good morning, LaTosha. Good morning to you.

Good morning. Good morning, Amanda. Let's do something here. All right. All right. I got several good things that I want to talk about today anyway uh there's some really wild stuff going on but uh i got this yesterday and uh let me just save that one for a minute i want it it's so damn good uh well first of all let me just um say if you're looking for a

car fits auto is really the best option for you. If you care about value. All right. Because when you buy a new car, the second you drive it off the lot, you've lost 25% of your value. It's done. Boom.

Bye. Go try to trade it in immediately. See what they offer you. That'll tell you. All right. And right now in this economy, you can't afford to be losing value like that. If you get a late model,

low mileage vehicle, you're at a good place for that, you know, and that's what it's auto does. Uh, and if you've had, you know, tough credit, they can help you out with that too. They're their own bank. They don't have to go ask anybody. They don't, you don't have to worry. They're going to some finance company. They are the finance company. You buy it there, you pay it there and they report to the credit bureau. So check them out. It's auto.com or in person at 84 21 stagecoach road in little rock um that's insane this is a uh this story was sent to me

yesterday i think rich may have sent it to me and he goes man take a look at this and i started laughing because i remembered when this happened and it was so insane. Such one, like one of the craziest stories that I've ever talked about in the years I've been doing this that I said, yeah, I'm going to go ahead. And I'm glad he found it because I was like, yeah, let's talk about this one again. It's one that I actually deep dove on to fact check. Like when it first came out, I was like like i had to because i was like no way yeah no way yeah right yeah yeah so here's the story all right we're pausing for dramatic effect no i'm not i'm just i'm trying to get myself together a man who is allegedly eye on meth reportedly fought off more than a dozen police officers while publicly masturbating.

Publicly? Public? While. While. During. In the midst of. Yeah. Multitasking.

Andrew Frey, 37, made a series of outbursts and began waxing the dolphin. Is that what they call it? Yeah. Began waxing his dolphin. Is that what they call it? Yeah. Began waxing his dolphin in an Oregon restaurant. Oregon? Yeah. Yeah, more like Oregon, yeah. Incredibly, police were unable to subdue him with a taser.

Okay? It took 15 officers to bring the guy into custody and stop him pleasuring himself. Y'all, why are you stopping me? He later told authorities he took meth and couldn't remember the incident. That's some good meth. That's some good meth. What day is that? He was treated at a local hospital.

He was booked into county jail. But the thing about this is you have 14 officers, 14, you've been tased and you got 14 officers, you know, working to take you down and you're still loping the mule. I mean, you're still shaking hands with the sheriff. You are bobbing the bishop. I mean, you are going to town, man. I mean, that's like some Matrix shit, man. I mean, you got one hand up. You're just putting him off like this while you're over here, you know, doing your business. I mean, how. Was he switching hands?

I mean, maybe he was a switcher. He could have been a switch hitter. Yeah. Elbow hearing. But I'm saying, I mean, something primed that pump. I mean, something had him. He's like, no, i'm i'm finishing you know i don't know how long maybe he's been going an hour before that and he's like i've come too far guy i didn't come this far just to come this far right you know what i'm saying uh when you work that hard and you've been working that long

i can understand yeah i mean you know you don't want to give up at the finish line right exactly but 15 officers i mean what do you think, you don't want to give up at the finish line, right? Exactly. But 15 officers, I mean, what do you think? You're still going. Let's bring up something else. Okay. Why is it taking 15 officers and a taser to take down one dude? And the taser didn't even work. The taser didn't even stop him from going to town.

No, it probably helped him grip. Exactly. Yeah, he probably went, oh, yeah, now I'm definitely going to keep going. Yeah, him grip exactly probably yeah he probably went oh yeah now i'm definitely gonna keep going yeah no that's a tingle right there yeah maybe no that's insane you're talking about 15 all he had to do was like stick a finger in his butt he would have nutted and then oh no you know what as a real agent, putting you with the right mortgage person is critical.

A funeral home will only serve alcohol on-site during services to ensure safety.

It's kind of like a one-stop shop for funeral service, he said. You know? Is that really the time to serve booze is that a funeral i mean it sounds like a first of all you're gonna send people who are depressed into overdrive second you're gonna have people somebody's gonna want to fight a bitch well yeah i mean somebody's gonna have a fight at a funeral if you get drunk yeah the side piece shows up and wants to you know eulogize you know the uncle that's over there hitting the bar too many times and starts running his mouth and there's going to be some, you know,

All right. Fans of the holiday classic Home Alone are no doubt familiar with the small but pivotal role that the late John Candy played in the film. What you might not know is John Candy only got $414 for that part. I knew that. Yeah. I love John Candy. It was a favor for a friend, and his time on the set was, he just spent a day there. Christopher Columbus, the director, says a great deal of what ended up on the set was that he just spent a day there uh christopher columbus the director says a great deal of what ended up on the screen uh like the funeral parlor story was complete improv on candy's part

uh years later there were times that candy took a few jabs about how much he was paid uh for work in the film that pulled in 476 million dollars uh and there was a little bit of resentment afterward on his part I mean look at I get that you know look if if I do you a favor I do you a solid as a friend okay and this was the movie that made Christopher Columbus a household director a household name of a director and and got him a lot of credibility to do other films. If my buddy came over and did it for 400 clams and I docked millions, I'm going to holler at my buddy and go, hey, let me tighten you up, man. Let me help you out a little bit. I appreciate

what you did for me. So yeah, I would probably be resentful too if I'm watching you stack those millions over there because those folks didn't make as much money then. No. Not like it is today.

Wait, what? It took until 2021 for Hawaii to legalize them. Thanks in no small part to advocates for those with disabilities. You know, when you. No, I know exactly what it is.

actually super smooth yeah you know a lot of times uh for me maybe the reason i didn't drink as much beer is the aftertaste that's real bitter a lot of times i don't i don't care for bitter a lot but this almost has none i mean it's almost like a water finish yeah this has got a nice uh smooth and kind of almost velvety yeah it really is yeah let me see your can what kind of yeah that's our crowler can yeah that's that's what's uh five dollars on monday right yeah a crowler five bucks that is it is a good beer for five dollars for a can of that right yeah and so this yeah give me a regular whoa oh good what do we do it's all that metal over there man you're too metal i've made uh Give me a regular. Whoa. Whoa. Good. What do we do?

It's all that metal over there, man. You're too metal. I've made this beer before in the past. It's actually a Dortmunder style. Okay. And so it's a German lager from, you know, it was created in the town of Dortmund, obviously, Dortmunder. It was Germany's response to the Pilsner. It was created about the time, you know, mid-1800s,

about the same time that the Czech Republic came up with the Pilsner. Germany was like, well, we can do that too. Dortmunder came about. But the water in Pilsen in the Czech Republic is very, very very neutral there's just very little in it yeah and it's uh but in dortmund it's very mineral rich okay so the the calcium and the magnesium and the carbonates and everything they really give a different character to the beer and that's why you're getting the the more the softer the more like i said the more velvety smoother malts on the back end it's because of the because of the mineral, like I said, the more velvety, smoother malts on the back end is because of the mineral-rich water.

There really is a science to it. It's a lot of science, yeah. But that's cool. I mean, I don't know anything about the history of beer. What is the United States known for in beer? Innovation. Innovation. Zima?

Is that what we're known for? As far as innovation, we were really the ones to create all the ipas okay the crazy big bitter juicy flavorful ipas okay but that that style originated in great britain because uh ipa stands for india. Yeah. It was back during the colonial times when they had India as a colony. Yeah. Yeah. And so they would have to, hops are a natural preservative. And so they would load this beer up with hops to preserve it so they could ship it all the

way around Africa and it wouldn't spoil before it got to India. Okay. So it was their pale ale that they were going to ship to India, India pale ale. Yeah. Which was a big, poppy, bitter beer, which is nothing like what we have today. It's technology, and things have changed. It's improved a little bit. It's improved since then.

Yeah, most beverages have in almost every way. So that's how the IPA came around. And then us Americans, we had to do it bigger and better and make it ridiculous. And that's where we are today. Okay. All right. Yeah, so that is kind of what we're known for being grandiose, isn't it? Yeah.

I mean, that's definitely, scoot you in a little bit, Kerry. Your model looks aren't showing up. Sorry about that. There you go, man. Yeah, there you go. Hey, what's going, scoot you in a little bit, Kerry. Your model looks aren't showing up. Sorry about that. There you go, man. Here's my pretty. Yeah, there you go. Hey, what's going on with you today, man? Oh, same old, same old.

But, man, if snow was coming, it was coming there. If it was coming to Arkansas, you were going to get it. Every single time.

You could count on it. As soon as they talked about it, yeah, it's going to snow. And it would. What kind of Skittles we got here? What she's eating. She's been working on these all morning. That's breakfast of champions. What is that?

What is it? Sugar. Sugar. Oh, no. Those are Skittles. What is that? What is it? Sugar. Oh, no. Those are Skittles. I can't even do that. The only reason I pulled them out is because my mouth was a little dry this morning. Yeah, and you can't have this. I mean, I could. Y'all just wouldn't want me

to. Really. I assure you. Yeah, that's good stuff there's definitely a smooth beer i like that no it really it really is i don't need to drink anymore like it's too easy to drink i was gonna drink the whole thing there i'm like yeah i'm not gonna be able to push buttons if i do please more of that please why all right this is this is just just five percent no it's not it's not one of our big ones. No. What's a big one? Just last week, I just made one.

It's got a funny name. It's going to be 12%, 13%. 12% or 13%. Yeah. That is a high volume for a beer. Very high volume. It's up there, yeah. What's the highest allowed in a beer? Is there one?

Yeah, I think it's like 21 percent really yeah i didn't know you could go that high you can yeah it's oh yeah it takes oh yeah it takes you know it takes some doing but like uh i don't know if you've heard of the sam adams utopia i mean i've heard of sam adams yeah they. I mean, I've heard of Sam Adams. Yeah, they make this, like, one real specialty beer, and, you know, they make, like, 100 bottles of it a year or something, and it's like, I forget, it's like 40-something percent alcohol. Really? It's ridiculous.

80-proof beer? Yeah. But it is so high alcohol that it exceeds the limit for Arkansas, so you can't buy it in Arkansas. Not that they would send it in here anyway. But, yeah, there's a limit. I think it's 21%, but don't quote me on that. Yeah, that is 21%.

I would have never even imagined a beer above. I didn't even know 12% and 13%. So that's a good little brewski there. The highest I made was a couple years ago. I made one that was 16 so doing beer in in a manner of speaking is similar in ways i guess to cannabis you know with terpenes and different things so you have different things you add in that that accomplish different missions that is that correct yeah that's it yeah okay so similar with you know cannabis different terpen yeah okay so similar with you know cannabis different terpenes accomplish different things some you know work on inflammation others

do this so that you know depending i'm talking medical use here people yeah only the only reason to use it yes yeah i'm saying no you should never otherwise it's all it's all for a medically beneficial i have a card whether whether emotional mental or physical mine or yours uh but yeah that's fascinating just considering you know all the things that go into it how long uh is is a you know the period of of making a beer uh from beginning to end it it really depends on the style and the alcohol volume and whatnot. Like this regular beer, it's a lager. So it generally takes, from the day I brew it until I get it in the keg,

it's six, seven weeks. Oh, wow. So the other ales, like the IPAs and such, you can get them in two weeks. Okay. So, you know, that is, too, one of the interesting things about going to a place like Stone's Throw is that you can bet that you're getting the freshest beer. And that's got to mean something, right? Yeah.

I mean, that matters to the flavor profile, doesn't it? Yeah, it does. Some beers age well. The high alcohol beers with a lot of malts and not a lot of hops. They age pretty well. But the lighter beers, the hoppier beers, the just, you know, I won't say ordinary, but the more common beers, they don't age as well. So what do they, they just kind of water down over time, basically?

Yeah, the flavors mute and, you you know they can change into something then it becomes natty light yeah that's what it turns into natty light that's where all beers go to die natty light right but you can definitely tell the difference in a beer that's you know a day old versus a month yeah no it is it's interesting You know, I learned that with the donuts from a hostess. If you get them the day after they deliver, they're much better than a month later, a week or two. Yeah, that's terrible. I'm a terrible human. All right. Let's let's do this, shall we? We need to do something anyway. Have you been injured? You need an attorney with a passion for people and an obsession with justice.

That attorney is Tim Reed in Little Rock. Look, they've won $1.3 million in wrongful death, almost a million in medical malpractice and in insurance dispute. These guys know what they're doing. But more importantly, he's not a figurehead of some kind. He's not just some person on a poster with a picture of a rig or a smile or his dog with him. This is a real guy you can text with, you can talk to, and who will take good care of you. He'll work with you personally to get what you deserve.

Check out readfirm.com, readfirm.com, or give him a call, 777-7333. Do you live or work in Conway, and are you a vaper? Yeah, listen, stop going to crappy gas stations to get your vapes. Go to Crazy J's. They've got two locations in Conway, every kind of flavor you can imagine. Not only that, but if you love the electric lettuce, and who doesn't, they've got all kinds of glassware, some of the coolest stuff that you've ever seen. So no matter whether you're trying to get your vape on or your butt on, Crazy J's is the way to go.

Check them out. They've got two locations in Conway. Crazy J's for all your vape and smoke needs, baby. All right, we are back. And again, welcome to Midweek. It is Patrick and the People. Be sure and check us out online, patrickandthepeople.com. We stream on a gazillion platforms now. So whether you're watching it now or later,

just go over to the website and find all of the ones that are on there. I know we recently added Pandora and a few others. I think we added six last week so i we're almost at the threshold of everything that's out there uh and i do want to mention again if you weren't here earlier uh just a quick second um we're we're really blessed we had been going through a process behind the scenes that uh we't talk about during that time. But it's been a process where we had applied to be on a reality show called The Blocks. And it's for entrepreneurs and startups, things like that, where you can go and get help from these amazing, successful

business people. And it's a competition where you can win money for the business. So Gunnar and I have been invited to become part of it, but we have to cover our expenses for the hotel and for our food while we're there. So we have just a little GoFundMe if you want to help us get on there, because we just don't have a big budget right now. You know, it basically just enough to keep us going. So anything you can do, if you can't, that's fine. Maybe just share it. But if you want to see us on Amazon Prime competing in a reality show,

I'm pretty stoked about it. And I think, I think we have a fair opportunity to maybe get it, get the win and that'd be $10,000 for the business, which would be awesome to uh, to be able to do. And plus, you know, they're going to help us out to grow and, uh, do a lot of other things. So it's a really cool opportunity, a very cool reality show hosted by, uh, Wes. You may know him from the challenge. Uh, he's the one that created this. So if you can help out, Hey man, that'd be great. Uh, it would be very appreciated. Let's talk food because food

and beer go together. Taco Bell is going to add an item to the menu that might catch you by surprise. Obviously, they're known for Mexican cuisine, somewhat inspired cuisine. How about that? They'll begin offering crispy chicken nuggets starting tomorrow nationwide. They'll be on the menu for a limited time. They said they're going to make the new item with a zesty jalapeno buttermilk flavor marinade, and it'll be breaded with breadcrumbs and tortilla chips. They're like, you know, the three different sauces, ranch, bell sauce

and some kind of honey mustard do you want the nuggets? how long has it been at the buttermilk thing? oh you didn't like that? I don't know you're not a jalapeno person? no I do like jalapenos I don't know

just the zesty jalapeno buttermilk didn't go for you? it didn't work for me words matter what do you think? would you try those out? Just zesty jalapeno buttermilk didn't go for you? Yeah, it didn't work for me. Words matter. What do you think? Would you try those out? Maybe. He said maybe.

They're not my sponsor. You don't have to be kind here. No, I'm just, you know, chicken nuggets aren't exactly what I think when I go to Taco Bell. Thank you. No, chicken nuggets typically aren't a meal for me. Or anything that's got buttermilk. No, buttermilk is good in a lot of things like ranch. I totally will agree with you.

Yeah. Like Cracker Barrel or Dixie Cafe or, you know, Homer's. I know Dixie Cafe doesn't exist anymore, but like jalapeno buttermilk. Zesty jalapeno buttermilk buttermilk yeah and i know it's just part of the you know the uh process the the flavor process right it just doesn't i don't know it's confusing how much do you like uh hot dogs by the way do you like hot dogs yeah all right yeah yeah i mean uh you eat a few a year, maybe? Yeah.

I mean, it's not... How many would you say a year you eat, if you had to guess? Not... Less than a dozen. Okay, less than a dozen. How about yourself? Yeah, I mean, I'll have a handful a year, especially if we go to see the traps play.

Okay. Because, I mean, you have to. Well, I get a corn dog then. I'm a lion. If you say, let's say you had 10. Yep. Okay. That's five hours of your life that's gone.

What? Yeah, that's right. Scientists are warning that eating processed foods like hot dogs could significantly shorten your life expectancy. A study from the University of Michigan found consuming one single hot dog could cut an average of 36 minutes off your life. Cured meats, 24. The doctor said the urgency of dietary changes to improve human health is clear. Do you think this study is legitimate?

You eat a hot dog, you lose 36 minutes of life. No. I don't either. I'm calling bullshit. I am too. I think maybe you found some kind of number to manipulate here, but I don't believe that. I think that depends on, A, your other general health and how you take care of yourself, what else you do. I want to see the study.

And, B, what kind of hot dog are you eating? Yeah. Because if you're eating the one, you know, the Bar S, Frank, that might take 36 minutes off. Yeah. You know, it's got beaks, hooves, and everything else. And who knows what's in that. Some feathers here and there. If you're getting it from the Corral Grass Station on South University. Right.

But if you have an all-beef hot dog. Nah. Come on, man. 36 minutes. Kosher? I mean. Yeah. I'm not believing it.

The Jewish hot dog. Those are probably really good. The kosher ones? Yeah. Okay. All right. And then. Hot dog parties take more lives than

elevator shoes in traffic right yeah no and this is a one of my favorite stories of the day and and this is why that um california and me don't always agree the san francisco department of public health hired a anti-weight-based discrimination expert to consult on weight stigma and weight neutrality. Virgie Tovar, the author of You Have the Right to Remain Fat and other published works on fat positivity and body acceptance, announced on Instagram that she was hired to consult for the department calling the collaboration a dream come true. So she lists herself as a plus-size author, lecturer, and leading expert on body positivity

and over a decade of experience. Now, this is her. Here you go, Darren. She's going to coach you on body positivity and fat positivity good for her yeah no i mean i it is this is in bentonville arkansas we're showing her right here in front of the camera why yeah she was at the bentonville film festival yeah i think she should have um larger her glasses don't fit her face. That's one of the things that don't fit. You're right. Hey, there's a question for our Stones Throw.

Over there? Aficionado. Aficionado? Our beer aficionado. Okay. What's the question? Coda would like to know if Stones Throw would ever do something like an unpaid internship for those who want to learn more unpaid i don't know i don't know about a full-blown internship but it's pretty

common for me to have people stop by and you know kind of go through the process with me on a brew day yeah so if you wanted to come by and and you know get kind of go through the process with me on a brew day. Yeah. So if you wanted to come by and, you know, get a walkthrough basically and kind of see how he does his process, then he would be open to that, is what you're saying. But, you know, probably not going to put you to work for the summer or something. You know what I mean? Is that pretty fair? Yeah, that's fair, yeah.

Yeah, nobody, they don't want to take responsibility for you. Yeah, I mean, I have people. You've got staff. Look, he makes beer. Do you know how many people want to volunteer? They don't want to take responsibility for you. Yeah, I mean, I have people, I mean, I've got staff. Look, he makes beer. Do you know how many people want to volunteer? They don't need to ruin up their beer. A lot of people want to volunteer for the guy that makes beer. You know, it's like, yeah.

Yeah, and then I usually have people come through in, like, July and August when it's just unbearably hot back there. Oh, yeah, I bet. And, like, you sure that's what you want to do yeah yeah yeah how hot does it probably get back there it's hot real hot is it very humid is there a lot of moisture yeah yeah yeah because we're boiling boiling you know 100 gallons of beer the whole time so what does this smell like delightful it does actually i've been there and and they are very very very good size vats i mean they're how many

gallons does do those vats hold i've got a three barrel system so it's around 100 gallons yeah that's quite a bit yeah yeah but during. But during the summer, I mean, rule of thumb is whatever it is outside, add 20 degrees, and that's what it is inside. Yeah. No. It's warm. So come in maybe spring, fall, or winter, not summer. Is that right? Yeah.

Okay. Fair enough. Fair enough. So back to this fat positivity expert. Are we still on that? Yeah, no, I am. Because first of all, I don't understand. You know, look, if you have body image issues, this person is not going to make the difference for you here by consulting with the Department of Health.

You know, and I don't know where at some point this fat, but that thing came to be, look, I I've been thick my whole life and I can tell you there, there's no fat, but fit either you're fat or you're not fat. I mean, it's really the truth. Now you may be genetically predisposed to being more healthy, uh, because genetics play such a significant part. I mean, that's why some people, you know, drink their whole life and never get cirrhosis and somebody who never drinks gets cirrhosis, you know, because genetics play a role in that. But I don't know if I, if I believe in this, uh, you know, fat positivity thing, I think it's a bad, bad thing to sell people. I mean, if you just love

who you are, whether you're skinny, fat, whatever. And I know that's easier said than done, but paying people to do that seems a little silly to me. I can, I mean, I can understand that. I understand your point. I mean, I do believe in body positivity. I, I've never been fat. I've never been, you know, obese or anything like that. So I don't have that, that lived experience or anything, but I mean, I've also shit. I've also been a hundred pounds soaking wet, you know, and wasn't, well, no. And I'm sure that you got criticism. Oh, absolutely. But you know, my thing, the world is so wild and and different um the the things that we're having exploratory committees on and and consultants on and everything is so wild to me um because i guess it's great that we're we're looking at all the ways to help people but i mean

i want everybody to love themselves but i i don't know that i don't know if that's this person i don't yeah i'm gonna make a difference in in that you know okay i don't know if that's this person i don't yeah i'm gonna make a difference in in that you know okay i will say that if we are going off you know this individual is a representative of you know how to love yourself in your body or whatever whatever body whatever body shape you have if y'all are going for aesthetics and what culture tends to gravitate towards as far as like consumption of information or looking to somebody. No, that individual is not going to be you. You don't want to put that individual on a poster. Look, you're right.

Here's the thing. Look, what average body sizes sell for marketing okay so for marketing purposes that's normally what you're going to see because it makes sense you know uh but that doesn't mean the best thing i would tell people and and you know i've had this conversation with with some people i care about very much uh look if you're a little thick a lot of people like that uh sometimes if you're a little skinny a lot of people like that you know it understand that what what marketing does and what real people think right are very different right you know they use marketing because the you know that that's a standard body shape that everybody can kind of it's what we relate to a

little bit you know what i mean it's what we've been conditioned to see yeah but I promise you I as a man and I can't speak for all men but I can speak for a lot of us that there are a lot of guys that I just like girls like dad bods we like thick chicks yeah I mean point blank yeah point blank so you, you have to understand there's somebody for everybody. We all like some pushing for the pushing. Hell yeah. But if you realize that, you know, that there is somebody for everybody, I mean, just realize no matter what you look like, you're amazing. You know, you just have to be comfortable in your own skin.

That's the most important thing. And I agree with that. It's easier said than done. I mean, for most of us who have been look i in the past year and a half i've dropped 100 pounds uh but you know and it helped me a lot health-wise and i do feel a lot better about myself than i did you know uh and anybody will feel better about themselves doing that but even then i i wasn't a piece of you know i was just i had an issue with paying anybody money to make me feel better about myself well yeah i just i just what about hookers strippers who has to they make me feel

better about myself right i mean i mean i've never had to pay i've never had to pay i've never done that legalized sex work um off my soapbox but i mean i've had business coaches and and things like that and while they were effective i think think what was more effective just at this point in time in my life was the absolute horror at the money that I had spent for this, for these individuals to tell me all these things and then to turn around and go, actually, that's not the way to do it. This is. And we've got a whole other program. And I was like, oh, hell no. Yeah. Every self-help book says the same thing every business building book says the same thing which is what you know authenticity um everybody's doing you know everybody's going through the same thing

um you know there's always room for you know your product your thing um and and uh patience like that's pretty much hard work and patience yeah i think authenticity is probably it if there's a buzzword for right now it's authenticity that's my word for this year yeah i mean it is the word right now i i see as the zeitgeist because that's what people are clinging to they want authenticity they don't i love authenticity big small you know black white this that none of that stuff if you're authentically you yes and that's what you're offering people are interested absolutely they are you know what they're not interested in is another clone of everything else that's been done i don't want to see kk i don't you know or the kkk no i'm just kidding i don't want to see KK. I don't, you know, or the KKK. No,

I'm just kidding. I don't want to see KK or, you know, any more of that shit. Like I love authenticity. I love people that are so fully themselves because we've been told so many times and so often to be something else. That is,

I think one of the positives of today is authenticity is, is a, is an important thing. And I like that a lot. I think it's a much better gauge than, you know, what you weigh or where you work or, you know, those different things. Because any of our lives can be affected at any time. And you could be at a different station, you know, now than five years from now. I know that I have been, you know, a different, a whole different human when I was in my 20s than I am now.

I'm sure you'd say the same thing. Absolutely. Yeah. I mean, most of us were very different people in our 20s. And I almost look at that like I'm watching a movie when I think about it. Now, I remember it, but it's like watching a movie because I don't relate to that person anymore. The decisions that person would make, I wouldn't. And that doesn't mean he wasn't a good person.

He was just a dumbass mainly. You know, he was. Well, when you think about how committed you were at that age, you knew. Oh, yeah. I know the certainty I had. And most people in their 20s, that's the time where you're absolutely certain. You know how the world works. Yes.

You got it now. You figured it out. You got the roadmap. You got the answers. Yep. And then you get to about 30 and you look at it and go, yeah, I didn't know shit. Dumbass. Yeah, I didn't know.

Such a dumbass. But we do. You know, at that age, everything is very black and white. It really is. Either you're wrong or you're right. You know, there's no middle ground. There is no gray in the 20s. But when you get past that, you realize most everything is in the gray.

Yeah. Almost everything is in that exist in that, that, that portal right there. It really does. It does, man. Yeah. I think about with authenticity, like I remember, you know, I used to talk about this when I had my paint company. I remember back in the day, my stepdad was a plumber. He had, you know, his own business and

a handshake was a contract and your word, you know, was your bond. And it was just this understanding of people were what they said they were, or you sought out people who were what they said they were. And it's, it blows my mind to go from that experience in the 80s to what now where nobody trusts anybody. Right. Nobody trusts anybody. Nobody's worth a shit. Well, it's because a lot of those handshakes didn't go very well. No, I totally understand that.

I mean, unfortunately. I think that's why we love authenticity. Yeah, no, you're right. Because I don't want to see your triple B sticker accreditation on the back of your van. That's probably going to make me not call you. Yeah, bumper stickers are not a thing. Your 316 and your little fish. Yeah, I'm not going to do a rant on that because my wife does such a great one.

I'll never top it. I want to hear it, Laura. If you ever get to see Laura do stand-up, get her to talk about bumper stickers. I can't even not pilfer from it if I tried to because it's so good. So I'm going to avoid that. Let's do something else. It's time. Let's do it.

All right. Hey, if you are looking or thinking about getting an estimate for a new roof, go to TitanRoofingCompany.com. Josh and Jeremy there, listen, they've had, Titan Roofing's been in business, family owned for, I don't know, half a century now. And these guys are really, really, really good at what they do. They have a lot of experience. And because of that, they can give you a 10-year transferable warranty. Nobody does that. Not on a roof. So go over to TitanRoofingCompany.com and let Josh and Jeremy know that we sent you. Okay? All right.

So, Theron, what you said today, you guys have got all-day happy hour. That's it. From 4 to 9. 4 to 9. A dollar off every pour. Every single one. That means in five pours, I save five bucks. There you go.

That's right. I like your math. Yeah, that's good math. That's good math. All day long. Yeah, no, I like that, man. Koda wants to know when your next brew day is. When is my next brew day?

Probably not until after Christmas. That makes sense. Yeah, that does. Yeah, I just went on vacation, so I stocked this up really well right before vacation, so there wouldn't be any issues while I was gone. So get with him after the first of the year, Koda.

As soon as I leave, shit happens. You're right. So you may as well brew it up in advance and have it ready. We're pretty. Oh, yeah. So you may as well brew it up in advance and have it ready. Yeah. So we're pretty well stocked right now. Yeah.

Okay. That's good. Speaking of beer, did you see about the robbery at Casey's yesterday? No. Well. At the Casey's convenience store in Spring Hill? Yeah. So this gentleman is not making it to prison.

At the corner there of Spring Hill on Highway 5? Uh-huh. A young man or a gentleman, an individual, pulled a gun, stole some beer, and he's no longer with us. Oh, no. The North Little Rock PD relieved him of his beer and his breathing. Oh, really? Yeah. Wild.

But wait, he stole it in. He stole it at the Casey's on Springfield and took off. Springhill? Springhill. I'm sorry. Why do I keep saying Springfield? Springhill in Denton or Springhill, North Little Rock? North Little Rock. Okay.

Okay. Okay. This is the North Little Rock page. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Wow.

But he used a gun to do it? He did. I mean, it's beer. You don't, nobody's going to, you don't have to use a gun for beer. Save that for like a bank robbery or something, man. Yeah, nobody in Casey's getting paid enough to like fight you for that beer. And it was probably Natty Ice or Natty Light. Even as good as Stone's Throw is, I wouldn't use a gun to get it.

Please don't. Don't come to Stone's Throw doing that. Yeah, no. Well, don't go anywhere don't come don't come to stone's throw doing that like yeah no well don't go anywhere and do that no you know i would highly advise you not to do it at stone's throw i would advise you not to you might might catch something you don't want like high speed lead poisoning i'm just saying you don't want to do that but that's wild it is wild isn't it prayers thoughts and prayers all right uh this is uh i like this and i think it's something that we can kind of uh banter about uh these days a lot of us are focused on saving

money sticking to budgets but according to reddit some small indulgences are totally worth it the reddit question was what are some quote middle class luxuries that are worth it? And they had 2,000 responses and going on this. So let's talk about it and see if we agree that these are middle class luxuries that are worth the spend. This person said, generally speaking, hiring professionals who can do jobs faster and better than you, handyman, cleaner, removal people. In an hour, they can do what would take me a day, and the result is much better quality too.

100%. Yeah. How about you? Do you agree with that? That's a valid point, but I generally just do everything myself. Yeah. That may be one of the problems. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. You're doing too much. Maybe. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that you're doing too much. Maybe. Yeah. I know I do. So I do agree with that. But there's some things, like some simple task I know people will call.

Like, for example, changing a light switch. Okay. Some people are going to call an electrician to do that. I'm going to take the 30 seconds it takes to do it. Yeah, no, I'm with you on that electricity makes me nervous so i i don't mess with it but maybe i should come watch you do it so i know how i just turn the circuit off yeah yeah okay all right uh okay spare things example a pair of sunglasses in your car and your significant other's car so having spare of items i mean i've

done that but they were all like rando dollar store yeah there wasn't anything worth a shit it could be spare anything could be a drill it could be anything do you keep backups of items yeah yeah like what like uh i don't want to jump to the next one but i do have you know like stuff like phone charger i got i got a phone charger at my fiance's house okay yeah no i have multiple phone chargers that is true i have one in the car one in the house you know that's because i have to have that computer or i'll die you will yeah i will all right setting the thermostat at whatever temperature you want without worrying about it that's a middle class luxury oh yeah yeah um my wife has lived that dream no matter what level

because she found the uh if you don't know and this may educate you too there uh somewhere and i haven't found it i don't know you'd have to ask my wife but she found a setting on the ac it's called frozen tundra oh yeah yeah and uh we have penguins that migrate to our home annually because she keeps it ice freaking cold in there, man. Some people love that. I'm not a fan. I am not either. No, I take Bahamas weather. Oh, I love heat.

Give me 74. Yeah, I love heat. She wants 68. No, only when I'm going to sleep. That's a big difference there. Yeah? Yeah. Do you run a fan?

I do. Do you run a fan when you sleep? Yeah. Yeah. I think almost everybody does. I had my window open last night too. Oh, no, I can't sleep with a window open last night too oh no i can't sleep with a window oh yeah i guess if i'm upstairs yeah it's okay upstairs it's okay yeah

yeah all right uh let's see uh uh hiring moving companies we used to move everything ourselves with the help of family and friends we hired movers the last time that now we have money for it i'll never go back to doing it myself um yeah there's a value to that if you can but i have to be honest with you most every time i've done it yeah i mean i we only hired movers when we were moving my grandmother's stuff and that's because it was heavy antique oh yeah that was real wood furniture we were going three different places. Yeah, no, that wood was heavy. No, I'll still bribe people with stones, throw beer, and pizza. Yeah, right. All right, how about this?

A high-quality mattress. You spend a third of your life in bed, so it's worth every penny. Do you agree? Yeah. Yeah, you spend a little money on a mattress? Yeah, I did, yeah. What would you say you spent on your last mattress there i don't remember it was over a thousand it was 1500 maybe yeah okay uh high-end mattress in your life i still have the mattress that we bought right before when i was pregnant

with my son okay how old's your son 18. okay Okay. That mattress is old and tired. Yeah. That mattress is old and tired. How's your back? So broken. Oh God, I love it. No. It's so comfortable. Is it? All this time later. I'm so comfortable.

Wow, that's amazing. We rotate things. I know. I mean, I'd like to get a new mattress. We have been struggling now for years, Laura and I. We have bought three different and not cheap mattresses you know bedding sets and none of them have been comfortable i mean we just cannot seem to locate one that that feels good all the time are y'all gonna get those that have the you know you can alternate the the firmness on both sides

now we tried the sleep number type bed we tried that that. We did not like that as much. I think the sleep number feels like you're sleeping on a fancy air mattress. It does to me. It did to me. Yeah, it did to me. You know, I didn't love it. We tried two or three different things. Is that what it is?

Kind of like an air mattress? Yeah, it has air chambers in it. Yeah. It might have gotten better since the last time that i may have one but yeah it was this one was basically just like an air mattress like sandwiched in between like a pillow top yeah yeah they just put a lot of high density foam over it and it was yeah it was not yeah i won't be doing that i'm so glad we're having this conversation yeah now we we we tried one and uh we just didn't love it at all um to be honest okay uh let's see getting

house cleaners every two weeks is the best money i've ever spent for the last 10 years house cleaner i'm sure that it is worth it and i would love to get to that point but i'm one of those people that like one i've got a dog that's not gonna want you anywhere near them because they don't know you yeah so that leaves me a room that's not gonna be done or you have to take your dog which is my bedroom because that's where i've got to put her right right right right so i don't know i don't i'm sure it's worth it i know it's worth it but i'm one of those people that i don't want you in my space house cleaners it's nice i've had them before yeah it's it is nice it is super nice to have done where you come home and it's all done yeah but but my problem is that you know i can't get them to pick up my mess you know they don't know where to put my stuff right you know so that means

i have to pre-clean exactly and by the time i'm done pre-cleaning i'm like i may as well clean you know i mean i've done all the work. And I got things I like done a certain way. Yeah. You just have things you don't want people to see. That's what you got. That's true. That's true. It is interesting whenever people are, you know, they ask where the bathroom is at the party and everything.

They're like, yeah, there's this one. There's this one. And they decide to go to, you know, my bathroom. And then the next thing you know, you see their face because they've obviously seen the pole and they're like yeah they don't know what to say many people have a professional stripper pole uh dancing pole i'm sorry yeah installed in their bathrooms yeah most people don't which yeah i don't know why not all right at this one i'm gonna pipe up and say yeah heated car seats uh yeah you know what uh i i had not really messed with them until we bought many many many years ago that lexus and i'm gonna tell you something in winter 100 yep heated seat is man it's a savior to you it man it's nice heated

seats and satellite radio i don't care so much about that but uh he did see he did see i keep them year round yeah it's more for my bad back rather rather than inflammation yeah you know but yeah the you know if my back's hurting a little bit throw that thing on and that drives yeah that drives great it's like a heating pad i mean more or less isn't it it's like having a heating pad on i love my heated seats. I'm trying to get my mom to get some. I feel like my mom, half of her life, had a heating pad on for some reason. Yeah.

Is it just me, or is it, I mean, I don't see people use those like they used to. Because we have heated seats. Maybe that's why. I don't know. But my mom was always using. Medical marijuana. Yeah. She didn't use that.

In all patches. Did your mom use a heating pad? Yeah. Yeah, regularly? I feel like it, yeah. Yeah. She didn't use that. In all patches. Did your mom use a heating pad? Yeah. Yeah. Regularly? I feel like it, yeah. Yeah. My mom did.

Yeah. Me too. And I think about, I can't remember the last time I saw my wife. Laura pulled out a heating pad. I got one plugged in next to my bed. Do you? Yep. Okay.

I've got one in my nightstand. Do you? Yeah. I i mean we have one i'm sure i'm just saying i i can't yeah i just don't i don't know maybe we leaned on them a lot more back then for some reason i've got a messed up back too i've got you know um slip discs and crush you know l's and whatever the they are and then i've got a bum knee that i've had a few surgeries on have you yeah and uh maybe have you done a they just worked on then I've got a bum knee that I've had a few surgeries on. Have you? Yeah. Really? Have they just worked on it, or did you have a knee replacement?

No, not yet. That's the next. Oh, that's what they want to do next. Yeah, so that's why I keep. That's why we have the. Do you have the trick knee that goes out sometimes? Every once in a while. Why do you think I sit over here?

Y'all think I'm just antsy and shit. I have to move around. No, it's crack. It is. She's on crack. Not today. It is. She's on crack. Not today. Not today. I never liked crack.

No, it's a bad value. Bad investment. I never liked it. Bad ROI. I just didn't like it. I was like, I don't know why we're doing this. No, it's a waste of time. I agree.

All right. Are we turning the air on? Man, we should. I mean, we need to right now. I didn't know what they were doing. This is one we can debate on for a minute. Bidets. Are you a bidet person?

I'm thinking about getting that for my mom for Christmas. Are you? Yeah, one of those attachable ones. I've been in, when I was painting, been in a lot of houses with bidets. Yes. The attachable ones or whatever. And you talk about, you know, the people that look down their nose at you. A mofo with a bidet?

Well, absolutely. They will smooth look down their nose at you. I'm sorry. Sorry, not sorry. You smell like toilet paper. Yeah, you smell. It's like demolition man trying to figure out what to do with the shells. Yeah, no, I've not ever used one.

Laura finally used one not too far back, and she raved about it. She was like, no, it's amazing. I was like, really? I'm glad to know. What about you, man? Never used one. A little bit intimidated. I'm not real sure what, I mean, I know what's going to go on, but I don't know how.

Right. How forceful it's going to go on. Yeah. See, I'm worried that it's not, see, I want fire hose. Yeah. You know, I want say I want fire hose blast radius here I want to make sure and is the water heated when it comes out it well I think so yeah yeah do you want it heated yeah yeah okay I know I think it is I I don't know for sure there's a lot of unknowns for me to get over there you know

there's a thing called YouTube. Yeah. I don't know if you're familiar with it. It is, but I think if you're going to get a really in-depth bidet, you're going to have to go to a different website for an in-depth bidet review. Oh, yeah. You're going to a real different website. The Bible Belt. What was it? That website?

Which one? There was a website that they do. toys oh i i don't know maybe they have a special today do you think i don't know i'm i'm sure they would i i don't even it made me just you saying that made me nervous i don't even know why they just it really affected me so if you could just stop saying it like that it'd be great um all right what about robot vacuums like a Roomba never had one I never had one either my husband had one hated it I've got one and I don't use it yeah okay because it's it's trash yeah I guess it's probably it's maybe not one of the better ones and all it does is just get stunk under the couch

all right well here was my problem with the Roomba to begin with is um when i was a kid and and this isn't something i think they even make anymore probably but when i was a kid that like the number one toy you would get would be the same technology as the room but basically it was a car or a motorcycle or a truck that was battery powered that you would let go and when it would bump into something it'd turn the other way and that's what the Roomba really does it just does it in a row you know uh actually it does map your house out yeah and it does sell your data and they did find out that they people had access to that and that it was listening at times there were a lot of things it found but mainly I'm like yeah that seems like a toy to me doesn't seem like a real vacuum besides how do you get in a corner with a

round vacuum like i have animals exactly thank you and that little little arm thing the little sweeper it's like oh yeah yeah i would think too it's a micro that's a micro i would think too with if you have uh pets yeah especially if they're you know shedding pets that that's probably too much for the room but i manage i would think so how are you gonna how are you gonna hold all the hair from all of my animals there's no way you would hold the hair from one animal mine would fill up pretty quick yeah yeah you have animals yeah i got i got a dalmatian and uh yeah she when she moves it's like a cartoon like you know you know like when a okay somebody will take off running in a cartoon and they'll leave the in the little that's what she looks like yeah yeah rousey's a boxer which is a short-haired dog and ironically

sheds like lassie yeah it's the weirdest thing ever you know i was like man i is a short-haired dog and ironically sheds like lassie yeah it's the weirdest thing ever you know i was like man i got a short-haired dog this wouldn't happen yeah my short-haired dogs um shed more than my long-haired cat like it's i don't i don't speak that sounded i don't speak cats i don't even understand it. My cat is. Yeah, I know. Shut down. Okay. Let's see. What, what are folks saying?

What are the people saying? What do they get going on here? Okay. It's Susan said it'll blast water up your butt. LOL. No heat. Oh, apparently Latasha has heated a steering wheel. Really? Oh girl, you fancy. Apparently, LaTosha has heated steering wheel. Really?

Oh, girl, you fancy. That's nice. I think my wife's might have a heated steering wheel. I wouldn't mind a heated steering wheel. That's pretty nice. Yeah, I know hers does, actually. Do you have one there? No.

Yeah, it is actually pretty nice, too. Now, there is a point where you have to turn it off. It's like, ooh, that's getting hot on my hands. But, yeah, no, my wife's test. She has that infinity. know it's it's super nice oh when we were buying my son's car um we looked you know obviously you gotta look at stuff yourself yeah mom was looking at some nice nice toyotas and oh yeah oh man i'll tell you that's mother effing my yeah they have some nice vehicles and cool yeah seats

and land cruiser oh man that's a sweet ride yeah oh we yeah no they're the best yeah that sales rep was sad when we didn't come back oh i bet he was i mean they look that's a good one to sell that's a good one to sell. That's a good one to sell. This person said, hot dog parties take more lives than elevators choose in traffic. Yeah, that's Mike. That's true. That's true. What are elevator shoes? I'm not sure.

Turner said, yeah, I'll still eat them. You know, I get it. Hot dogs, if you like them, you like them, man. What's up, Turner? Let's see. Chris Lansing, good morning, guys. I'm on my way to north little rock well come on by yeah come on back crystal you know where we are one oh two one hemlock

just pop on in here yeah come on in uh landon said dog titty now everybody's gonna start doing it yeah that's what carrie did that's what carrie does he's not doing it well he's just been busy um it's rude well it is time i he's just been busy. It's rude. Well, it is time. Look, he left his beard. I do need to do this, though. And this is a really, really cool thing. I'm very excited to play this today.

Yesterday, once again, guess who called me? As he does every single week. Yes. Our favorite current inmate right now. Kitty master. Joe Exotic, yes. And I'm ready to drop the Joe Exotic interview on you and for you guys to hear this.

So he was in a little better spirits yesterday. Here we go. Let's do this. Hello? To monitoring at any time. To accept this call, press 5. To block this call, an all... You may begin speaking now.

I think we got a better phone. Did you get a better one, Joe? I did. Okay, good, good. Good to talk to you, man. How are you today? They never fix anything around here. I'm sure they don't.

Hey, I did see that your team did release something, a new thing showing some text where they were talking about the setup for setting you up for the murder. Oh, yeah. I mean, I have, now that i have their phones and everything we have we have all the text messages where the federal agents told them how to lie they all knew they were lying yeah yeah i'm looking here and and uh it's from jeff low and it said he just asked me to talk to him again I could completely effing set him up I could do this and yeah why am I still here man I don't get it I mean that's that's pretty crazy

man that uh and and who is this Matthew Bryant character that's the federal uh fish and wildlife agent that's what I thought set me up yeah that's what i thought yeah and see we have we have emails now between him and carol baskin going clear back to 2016 setting this up is that right yeah now have you released those yet or you're just going through them now oh god all of that should be in that in that packet there in the packet. Okay. All right. Well, I saw they released this one separately, you know, by itself, just to show people what was going on, you know, behind the scenes that they've never seen or heard before.

Yeah. Well, see, and I didn't have any of that for my trial, and the judge and the prosecutors and public defenders all made a deal before my trial started. I couldn't talk about Carol's husband missing. I couldn't talk about Jeff and James and what they're sex trafficking and raping people at the park and their credit card fraud and all that. I couldn't talk. They gagged me. I couldn't defend myself They gagged me. I couldn't defend myself.

Right, right. They prevented you from bringing that evidence in that you feel like would have, you know, completely exonerated you. The jury from hearing this story, okay? You know, Jeff, you know, they admitted to putting perfume on my shoes that day they got me drug in the cage jeff had admitted to changing my medicine with with the illegal drugs and getting me fucked up in the cage trying to get me killed none of that none of that came out because i couldn't talk so if the jury would have heard why joe really left the zoo it would have been a whole different story yeah yeah no i bet it would have been a whole different story. Yeah. Yeah, no, I bet it would have. I mean, it's crazy just looking at this.

I mean, how many times the word set up is used. But you know what's even crazier, though, is we got these presidents like President Biden pardoning judges that have wrongfully put people in minors in prison and, what, got $54 million take back from that? Well, definitely got paid for doing it. Yeah, I mean, that just came out. You're right. And now the scumbag gets a pardon?

Mm-hmm. No, you're absolutely right. Well, the rest of us sit in here and rot. And who was it again that you hurt, Joe? I'm trying to remember. Oh, yeah. I said, who was it again that you hurt, Joe? I'm trying to remember. Oh, nobody. Yeah. Nobody. Yeah. Nobody. Yeah. There are no victims. Yeah. I euthanized five tigers with and I had permission from my inspector that we could not find for trial right right what happened to him by the way well it's a woman her name was debbie cutting

okay she's still an inspector with the usda but you just couldn't get her but well according to my public defenders we couldn't find her to subpoena her wow yeah a federal employee. She just, well, I'll tell you why. Because she didn't want to lie under oath. And she probably refused to testify because she wasn't going to lie. And, I mean, you subpoena someone they can refuse to testify? Well, I mean, when they're government inspectors and the public defenders are the ones issuing

the subpoenas, and the prosecutors knew this was all a setup, they're not going to force her to come. I got you. Okay. All right. Yeah, no, that makes sense, I guess. Yeah, I can understand that. Yeah, you can bet if I get a new trial, we're going to force her to come.

Well, yeah, no, I would imagine so. I mean, there's so many different angles of evidence here that it's just hard to understand how no one has, you know, gotten with you about at least the minimum a new trial, man. I mean, it just seems silly. Yeah, I mean, I've been sitting over two years waiting on this appeal for a new trial. Now, what about, you know, Carol Baskin? Has she just gone on and doing whatever and no one's saying anything at all about her and the conditions the cats were in there and all of that?

Nope, nope. She's scot-free. This call is from a federal prison. That's unbelievable, man. Unbelievable. Patrick, if I had my computers, man, I would show you so much stuff. And you might be able to see some of it on my YouTube channel. There was some things where I did called Joe Exotic Speaks Out.

Search that in my YouTube, in my videos. Okay. Okay. speaks out okay search search that in my youtube in my videos okay okay and and carol's little group of friends the global federation of animal sanctuaries where my cats are now okay spread out throughout all of them yeah and they're charging 50 bucks a person to see them yeah you should see every one of the places are falling down and i know when they were showing the conditions at Carroll's situation, it did not look good. It did not look like it was a sanctuary of any kind there. No, but it depends on how many politicians you donate money to.

Right, I guess it does. I guess you're absolutely right. Right, I guess it does. I guess you're absolutely right. So do you have any congressmen, senators, anybody who you've got their ear and maybe they're trying to help at all? Well, I have former Congressman Gates, Matt Gates. Yeah. I have Congresswoman Boebert. Okay.

And I have Marco Rub Boebert. Okay. And I have Marco Rubio. Okay. And then, you know, that pardon47.gov that's out there now? Yes. The head guy of that has me on the top of the list. Okay. Who knows? Still hoping, still pushing, still trying to get it done. We are still trying to get it done.

And my team were supposed to release a press release today to Governor Stitt because, you know, I want to know how come the OSBI has never opened up an investigation on them admitting to conspiracy to murder me while I was a new rubbitorial candidate. Yeah, yeah, while you were running for office there. Yeah, I mean, they admitted it on world television that they were going to kill me. Why has nobody been investigated or charged? No, I mean, that's a great question, and at least it merits an answer of some kind at the very minimum. Now, do you think that, do you have hope that, let's say, you know, Biden leaves and, you know, right now, as it looks now, you haven't been pardoned by him. But let's, you know, we'll hope.

You know, I have a clemency application on his desk. You know, we'll hope. You know, I have a clemency application on his desk. Uh-huh. Would it be a miracle if he did? Yeah. Am I looking forward to it? No, I don't think he will.

Because he just did 1,500, and not one of them were in prison. Right. Do you think that, though, when Trump gets in, that there's a possibility that he might do it early instead of waiting? Well, you know, he's promised to do all the January 6th years and stuff on day one. Yeah. On January 21st. And everybody that I have pushing for me, including my attorneys that are representing 35 January 6th years, are shooting to have me in that. So they're trying to get you included in that grouping at the same time.

Yeah. Yes. So, you know, what do they think? I mean, they're dealing with the Jan Sixers. I mean, what do they think the prospects are? Do they feel optimistic? You know, nobody knows. Everybody's scared to get too positive about it because

I was on the pardon list in 2020 and he skipped half of us. Now in 2020, how long had you been there in 2020? A couple years? I got arrested in 18. Okay, so about two years at that point. So maybe at that time, you know, he didn't know the other evidence, and you hadn't been there very long. So maybe now, you know, obviously it's years later,

and there's a lot more evidence. Maybe, you know, he'll take an actual look. We're open. We're open. We're open. Yeah. I reached out to Alice Marie Johnson, the black lady that he pardoned. Yes. Because she's now advocating for criminal justice reform.

And she has a list of people she's recommended for a pardon, too. So I'm trying to get a hold of her. Trying to get out to her. Yeah. Now let me ask, last time I spoke with you, you had been in a solitary confinement for four days. Things were pretty hot. But also you had told me that George,

because of that tattoo needle that was found in the groceries, was in trouble. Yeah, they actually let that slide. This call is from a federal prison. And I went and talked to, you know, all the higher-ups and admitted that I gave him that bag, and I got it out of the storeroom when they packed my stuff. And I should have looked in the bag but I didn't

look in the bag to go through what people put in there and they didn't make a big deal about it. Well that's good then right? I mean that's a positive. So George is okay. He's not in solitary locked away from you or anything like that? No. No. He's

over in another unit and we see each other all day long okay yeah he's still good okay that's good i i was just last we spoke i was a little bit concerned that maybe you know he'd have been put in solitary as well or something you never know you never know around here you know but no i mean that's crazy the mystery of the the tattoo needle we're trying to get all of his lawyers connected because he had public defenders out of McAllen, Texas. Okay. And they don't do anything anymore because his case is over.

But they won't release any information, and the new lawyer won't start the ball rolling and tell the old lawyers, tell him that, you know, he files an appearance and it's okay. So we're trying to get all that squared away right now. So that you can get everything worked out before he's out and get married so he's not deported. Is that correct? Yeah, it's open.

You know, I'm hoping that I beat him out. Yeah. Because that way I can figure out where we're going to live and stuff. If he beats me out, who knows what the hell is going to happen. Yeah, so if he is deported, what are you going to do then when you get out? Are you going to go wherever he is? I'm going to Mexico. I'm going to Mexico.

Yeah, I can understand that, yeah. Yeah, no, yeah, if we can't keep him in America with an asylum or whatever, I'll go to Mexico until we do. I got you. I got you. No, I understood. I understood. Where in Mexico is he from, Joe?

He's from Sonora, Mexico, which is kind of a rough place. Yeah? I want to go down closer to Belize on that side where it's prettier and the ocean. Yeah, now everybody wants to go to Belize, man. You can go into the caves and, you know, it's a lot of cool, amazing things there. I've been there one time. What a beautiful place. Did you go into the caves and stuff when you were there, Joe?

I did. I took the river raft through the caves. How awesome was it? It was amazing. It was absolutely amazing. I bet it was. Go through the jungle and the raft through the caves and everything.

You get to see wild spider monkeys and all kinds of stuff. It was great. I bet it was great, man. I bet it was great. So when you do get out, and let's say when, not an if, when, when you do get out, you know, other than, you know, getting together with your man, what are you most looking forward to? What do you most want to do? Do you want to go get a burger?

Do you want a tattoo? What do you want? My biggest thing is I want to testify in front of Congress about what goes on in here yeah that's that's the big thing so you want to get out and become an advocate for reform that's my goal yes this has to change yeah because there's nothing there's nothing that helps anything about this if you know people sit around all day long doing drugs and and drinking and it fixes nothing right so if you're in here more than five years, chances are

you're going to be shit worthless when you get out. So let's say that you did get out and you become an advocate. You know, what's an idea that you have that you think would be good to be implemented? More programs. Okay. You know, more things to do. You know, they're so short of staff, they just lock you up in a building all day. Right. So more classes, more activities, you know, more things like that. Patrick, this is fixing to hang up on us again.

All right, man. Well, I'll talk to you next Tuesday. I'll call you next Tuesday, buddy. All right, man. Bye-bye. All right. That's Joe Exotic, if you want him right there telling you all about what's going on, man. That's a pretty interesting

conversation there with him. I couldn't believe I got him to talk about going on vacation in Belize. I love that he wants to go to Belize. Yeah, no, that was great. That was great. That's where the good stuff is. Scooch in just a little bit there.

To my right, right here, is Eugene Betancourt, man. What's going on with you? Comedian. He is a comedian, as well as a Charles Manson impersonator. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, what's going on with you, man? What's happening? What's up in your comedy world?

Man, just coming in town to work the bin this week. We're doing the Oak Lawn Casino tonight and then working the Looney Bin all week. Oh, yeah? James Johan. What's the Oak Lawn Casino? What is that? What do you mean? Just the casino up there in Hotspot.

Oh, you're going to be working there? Yeah. Oh, okay. The Looney Bin does a partnered show with Oak Lawn. Oh, okay. And so I'm doing that tonight. Oh, that's awesome, man. Are you excited about that?

Oh, super excited. It's'm doing that tonight. Oh, that's awesome, man. Are you excited about that? Oh, super excited. It's my first casino show. Yeah, I mean, that probably seats quite a few, doesn't it? Yeah, as far as I know, I'm assuming. I haven't ever seen the room or nothing yet, so it's going to be sight unseen tonight. But you can bet it's a good room. They got good sound.

And I'll tell you what, as a comedian that travels around, man, having somewhere that's got good sound is important i once did a show uh the the venue um didn't typically do live performance and somehow some way they forgot the mic and the speaker and so i showed up and and this was a a pretty good sized crowd i'm going to be honest with you there There were probably 130 people there. Wow. Yeah. And so I'm like, man, I I've, I've got a projected voice, but over this size crowd, I can't, I mean, if it was 30, it may be, but not, not 130. I can't. And, uh, so somebody said, well, hold on, let me go. They came back with one of those speakers, like my first speaker or something. It's a speaker with a mic

with a five foot cord attached to it like you know that you a toddler or you know a first a kid would use a t-pain yeah and that's what i had to use the whole time i couldn't even move from where i was standing i'd stand at a podium because i didn't i didn't have enough mic room man last year i did a new year's eve show in pine bluff and this old black dude was like oh y'all don't worry about sound i got sound equipment don't worry about it and we get there to do the show and he's got a hello kitty jukebox karaoke machine with a little pink microphone that's the best you have the greatest that is fantastic that's fantastic and he really he felt good about that he was like no i got you set was like, no, I got you set up.

I got you, dog. I got you. No, that's exactly how a professional show is run. That's right. Yeah, no. So professional. Why would you spend hundreds of dollars on sound when you can just get a Hello Kitty? No, I mean, every venue should adopt that.

Do you have that, Theron? Do you have a Hello Kitty karaoke machine? Because if you don't, what are you doing? Oh, Rainbow Bride. Okay, that you doing oh rainbow okay that's cool yeah no that's i love that i'll have to come for that so you're doing oakland is tonight yes tonight what time does that start uh 8 p.m all right who else is on the ticket do you know me james johan and i'm not sure who the feature list. Okay, okay. And then the rest of the week you'll be at the Looney Bin? Yep. All right, and what time are those shows running, man?

Thursday's 8 p.m., Friday is 7.30, late show is 10, and then Saturday is 7 p.m., late show 9.30. So you said the guy is James Johan? Yeah. Is that right? Blue Collar Comedy Tour. Oh, okay, okay. Which worked with Ron White, Larry the Cable Guy.

Okay. Okay. Yeah. I don't know his name off the top of my head, but James Johan. Interesting. So he's kind of a Southern style comedian then? Yes, sir. Okay.

Very interesting. Very interesting. Okay. Okay. Yeah. He definitely has that look, that blue-collar comedy look. Okay, so that'll probably be a fun show. A lot of people will like that.

I'm really excited for it. I think it's going to be a good time. Yeah, I think it'll be a very good show, especially here, you know, to go well. If people wanted to find Eugene Betancourt online, how do they find you, man? Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Eugene Belcourt, B-E-L-C-O-R-T. Oh, Belcourt. I'm sorry, man.C-O-R-T. Oh, Belcourt. I'm sorry, man. I'm saying his name completely wrong.

I'm an idiot. It's been said way worse. No, that doesn't matter. That makes me a moron. Go ahead. How do they find you? Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Eugene Belcourt, Eugene the Comedian. Okay.

So just put in Eugene the Comed comedian, and that'll bring you up. Bring you right to me. All right. All right. Let me turn over here to my left for a second. We got another guest. Everybody's started coming by today, which is a great thing. So first of all, this is my friend, my personal friend, David Lindsey.

Also, you probably heard me talk about him with Cabot Mechanical because he's the service manager for Cabot Mechanical HVAC. As well, you probably heard me talk about that this year he won the national sniper competition. I think if I'm not mistaken, the target may have been about two and a half miles. Is that is that get up on the mic there? We had several over two miles this year. Wow. Right up on.

There you go. Yeah, you're going to get real uncomfortably close. No, over the year we had several matches that had targets two miles or beyond. I think the farthest was 4,300 yards. 4,300 yards. 4,300 yards. Didn't hit that one. Oh, you didn 4,300 yards. Didn't hit that one. Oh, you didn't hit that one?

Didn't hit that one. No, that's a long ways away, man. I hit 3,823. 3,823 yards. Yeah, 3,520 is two miles. Wow. That's, you know, how long did it take you to become competent at doing that kind of shooting?

Because if you think about it, if you're shooting two miles, right, you have to account for drop rate, velocity, all of these different variables. Am I right? Everything. Everything. The biggest variable that's hardest to accommodate for is the wind. Yeah. Funny you asked that. It came up this morning. Ia day four is the win. Yeah. Funny you asked that. It came up this morning.

I think it was eight years ago today on Facebook was my first 1,000-yard shot. Really? Oh, wow. It's been an eight-year journey to get there. Now, what size rifle is that that you use? Past two years, it's a 416 Hellfire. It's being re-barreled to a 375 right now due to brass issues. Majority of competitors are using 375s to 416s all the way up to 50. Yeah okay all right now you have to hand make or the ammo has to be handmade. Is that right? Everything's handmade.

Yeah. We had Laura and I went out because I know you do a lot at Twisted Barrel. Correct. It's one of the only in this area ranges where you can shoot that far away, where you can shoot a target a mile out. And Laura and I got to do that. And we, we both hit targets at a mile away. Now, in all fairness and transparency, they, they did the settings for us. We just pulled the trigger, you know what I mean? There's a lot of technicalities there, bro. Calculating wind speeds and then bringing out my calculator to do the velocity and all that.

But that's amazing, man. I mean, that you've, you've been able to do the velocity and all that. But that's amazing, man, I mean, that you've been able to do that. What a unique passion. And you've traveled all over the country doing it. All over. Most of them are in Texas. We travel to Kansas, to Spearpoint Ranch, pretty regular. It's Raton, Texas, and then there's Raton or Raton, and then it's Raton, New Mexico.

Okay. Two different places. I got you. And there's actually a handful on the east coast of Virginia. But really, it's mainly Kansas and Texas. You know, there's just not many places around here with all the trees. Yeah. You know, we don't have a clear line of sight for two miles in many places

that's true now that's true now uh you can get right on that mic david they're still not in it no you just you got to get real uncomfortable on it i know it's weird man if your lips touch it you're close enough yeah yeah yeah if you're lifting on it or something so now let's let's go back to uh your other gig, Cabot Mechanical. Yes, sir. I've told this story probably 200 times since we started, which is that the home that I owned in North Little Rock, I sold that home, but we had an air conditioning issue.

We had a guy come by. He told us, yeah, you're probably going to need a brand-new unit. David came by, and I think it was like $187, and that unit was great after that. Do you find that to be a regular occurrence where you might come behind someone? I mean, you guys are pretty honest and fair. Do you often find that to be the case? Sadly, it's more often than I'd like it to be. And part of it is inexperienced techs and then part of it is there's just some crooks out there. Yeah.

I hate it. Either way it's not a good deal for the customer but I won't throw everybody under the bus and say everybody's out there to right but probably if you know their name and you see a lot of commercials from them and it rhymes with Gittleton they're going to review yeah it's going to be high yeah it's going to be high yeah there was actually a bunch of posts about them last night. Dittleton? And they were all very, very negative. Well, I'm not here to bash anyone.

I'm just here to say that I know how my guy over here operates, and I learned it from personal experience, which is how we kind of became friends, I guess, is through that. But believe it or not, that happens. Sometimes you meet somebody, you know, heat and air, and we just kind of connected. And I was like, hey, it's not that happens you know sometimes you meet somebody uh you know heat there and uh we just kind of connected and i was like hey it's cool people you know i remember when you came and shot with me at twisted barrel that was the first time we met yeah i said hey man if you need anything eating airwise yeah yeah it wasn't a week or two later

you know me you know me yeah you know me yeah i know that you mentioned it yeah no i've used it actually i i used uh david more than once on some of our flip projects and uh he did great work for us on that too i i hadn't even thought to mention that was it uh laura's mom oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Actually, Laura's mom's air conditioning unit sure did replace that, too. Yeah, but she's still happy about that, too. She really is, yeah. She's just the nicest person in the world, actually.

She really is. Eugene, so tell me, after this week at the Looney Bin, where do you go next? I'm headed to Austin, Texas. Austin, Texas. Austin, Texas. I'm going to go up there and Kill Tony's doing their HEB New Year's Eve Arena show. I'm going to try to get in on that. So when you do those, they just pick people

and you might have a shot at it. You either get in or you don't. Yeah. Well, you got the right look. They might pull you up. I sure hope so. I'll go up there for 30 days do you try to you know amp it up charles manson style when you're sitting there getting a vickia you

know get your eyes real big i try to like walk past the important people enough to where they're see me and go fucking charles manson yeah that's all it takes and when they see me they're like hey somebody get him on yeah that's that's what i was thinking man the closer you can get to the front the better off you're gonna be to get on there yeah yeah that's that's what I was thinking, man. The closer you can get to the front, the better off you're going to be to get on there. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I'm hoping. I'm just going to go up there for the full month of January and just grind out the scene up there and see what it looks like.

That's cool, man. That's really cool that you get to do that and have that experience. Where will you stay when you're there? Do you have a place lined up? Well, so I'm actually going to be staying in my new pickup truck. Is that right? That's where you're going to camp out? That I've got to thank y'all for.

Oh, yeah? My last time I was down here, I was talking about, you know, how I just kind of went, got on the train and traveling the country, doing it the hard way. And then I had a fan reach out to me a couple days after my appearance here. Yeah. And he had a truck that he just didn't need, and he'd give it to me. Really?

Wow. I mean, that's amazing. I went from homeless, riding a train, you know, traveling the country, to I've got a 2003 Chevy Avalanche. Man. That's what's up. The hell, yeah. That's what's up, bro.

That is dope as hell. I've tickled, tickled pink about it. Man, I bet you are. I can't even wrap my head around it. No, man, that's awesome, man. You know, somebody saw you here, reached out to you and offered you, gave you a truck in the parking lot right now. That is an absolute testimony right there of, of, of the power of connecting with people, man. And that's the power

of our people. You know, that's what our people do here. I mean, they do that, you know, so that's, that's amazing. That's a great story firsthand if anybody doubts it they're just down man that that's that's amazing that makes you know what that that gets me i'll be honest with you that gets me a little bit it is awesome man it's just dope to hear uh well let's do this and you can uh you guys can comment uh as you fear. Lying lunched on a dumb guy's knee. Or a big hard fuck drowning somebody. Why you laughing?

Why you laughing? This shit ain't funny. It might be, Luke. It's hilarious. Well, we're talking about people's pain here. Yeah. Amanda. Yeah.

I didn't stutter. I know. I know. Hilarious. An Oklahoma woman. Her name's Donna Bratchen. You already got me. Yeah.

Yeah. She got an unexpected scare when a snake hiding under her pillow latched onto her while she was getting ready for bed. She says, one thing for it to get in your house. It's another thing for it to find in your house, it's another thing for it to find your bed, climb your bed, get under your pillow. She said her husband quickly removed the snakes with gloves. Wildlife experts explained it was a bull snake, which I guess is lucky that it wasn't venomous, but they're common in Oklahoma. But can you imagine, hold on, man. I mean, of all places that, you know, you're finally at the end of the day. Like, Jesus, let me just get in the bed.

I mean, my God, I just want to make it to the end of the day. You reach down and get bit by a snake in your own bed. Yeah. Her husband's playing stupid. Oh, yeah, you think he put that there? Yeah. There's no way. Oh, you think he did it? Oh, yeah, you think he put that there? There's no way. Oh, you think he did it?

Oh, yeah. Okay, I hear you there. What do you think here? I mean, yeah. What a nightmare. Well, and I love it. He quickly removed the snake with gloves. He had to go get gloves.

Yeah, where did you have the gloves? Where did you have to go get gloves? Yeah. Had them in the nightstand waiting. Right. Oh, snap. Maybe. Maybe he likes to play roughneck. Maybe this is the nightstand waiting right oh snap well maybe maybe

you like to play roughneck maybe this is the story they're going with it could be that it could be the story they're going with i think he's seen her boyfriend's truck in the driveway i was like i'm gonna fix this oh yeah and then you know uh yeah and a bull snake's not venomous so you can't get uh murder on that one so yeah you get a little lesson though man well snake and no snake in the bed not my snake a snake in the bed yeah all right let's uh one snake in a room policy yeah no that's that's how i feel that's right uh this will tell you the difference in uh today and uh well i don't know that's the case let me just read to you. A massive brawl involving over 100 students on three floors of a Chicago high school left four police officers injured on Friday.

A Chicago PD said five people arrested didn't provide details, but the parent of a 15-year-old student said the fight began between girls and then escalated to a brawl that spanned several floors. She said, it's always something that happens here. My son said it was a girl fight at first, and then it just hit so big that everybody started fighting. Well, yeah, I mean, at a certain point. At some point.

If everybody's fighting, it's like, oh, I got to get in. Let's go. It goes from being a backyard fight to being a mosh pit so quick. I mean, there's your perfect opportunity to get some licks in on somebody. Man, you know what? I don't know what happened. Nobody was watching. I've said for a long time, kind of like you have the break room,

if you had a business, and I don't know how the model would even work. Probably it wouldn't. But where you could just be in a bar fight. It won't work. You know, you could just be in a bar fight. Because I would just once in my life, I would give anything just to in a bar fight it won't work you know you could just be in a bar fight because i would just once in my life i would give anything just to have a scrap break out in a bar where everybody just like in the western just beating the hell out of everybody like break rooms just it's just

a whole bar meant to destroy yeah i like this idea yeah no it is a great idea i just think it's a bad business model i think it's hard to make that profitable. The insurance. The insurance would be insane. I will tell you, you couldn't even. And you can't advertise. No, I mean, you couldn't do it. You can't talk about Fight Club. No, you can't.

No, yeah, absolutely. You can't talk about Fight Club. Yeah. No, we, the Apple has the what was the oculus and uh we we have one of those and i never use it because it made me sick but it literally like nauseous do you do it uh some games don't but if they if they involve moving fast i can't do it but this game was a bar game. And that's exactly what it was. It's a bar brawl. Bar fight.

Yeah, that's the name of it. And you just literally are in a bar fighting. And, man, let me tell you something. I was beating this dude's ass, okay? And, I mean, I was giving him the what's what. I done kicked him one good time. And, I mean, a good high kick. Did you hit your leg?

Yeah, I was working him left, right, you know, the combos. And his girl came up and hit me. Yes, you did. I turned and beat the hell out of that girl. You hear me? I punched her right in the baby maker. Bam, bam, bam. Oh, yeah, no, it was awesome.

It was the best day of my life. A little cooter-rooter. Where else can you do that? Where else can you pop a lady in the little baby maker? You can't do that. You can't do that. You can't legally anywhere else. I mean, so it was great, man.

Yeah, no, I left her on the floor. She was out when I was done. Does that sound bad? It's a game. It's a game. But it was fun, I'll be honest with you. The only time I ever hit a girl. Well, outside of the one that was beating me up when I was in elementary.

Actually... Did she like you? No, no, no. She really hated me a lot. And I'll tell you that when I was little, young, I wasn't a very good fighter at all. I just didn't have the confidence in myself. I was a pretty scrawny guy, you know. But unfortunately, this mouth was still attached to me.

And, you know, so if you've got a to me and you know so if you got a a big mouth and a tissue paper ass it's a problem you know uh and this girl this girl who was a couple grades older and a good foot taller just started whooping my ass man you know and i think i was probably and maybe nine eight nine years old know, and she had me on the ground. The only thing I could think do is bite her. And I didn't. Look, I bit her on the boob, okay? That's what I did. Oh, my God.

She stopped. She stopped hitting me in the legs. She did. Her parents came to my house. They did not like that that happened because there was a bite mark there. And it probably, you know. Man, I look at it. Hey, man, I was losing.

You do what you do. You know, there's no fair fights. You got to win somehow. She quit hitting me, man. That's what I know. She quit hitting me, man. That's what I know. She quit hitting me. Early Tuesday morning, police arrested 14 people at an Aurora, Colorado apartment complex taken over by a Venezuelan gang named Trende Aragoa.

According to police, tortured residents were found tied up, stabbed, and pistol whipped. He said they were pistol whipped. They were beat. This is the police chief, Todd Chamberlain, on Tuesday. He said, does that fall in the category of torture for me? Yeah, it does. He said this is without question a gang incident. He said there's a high assumption that they may be affiliated with

Trende Aragua gang. Police said that the overnight armed home invasion at a local apartment complex resulted in 14 suspects being detained. Just before 2.30 a.m. on Tuesday, they were called to the Edge at Lowry Apartments for that home invasion where victims were kidnapped and assaulted. He said in the conference that 13 to 15 people, mostly males, some females, entered the apartment where two people were. The suspect took the victims to another apartment at the same location where they were threatened and bound. One of the victims, a man, sustained a stab wound but is expected to survive

both victims are still in the hospital for their treatment yeah no i mean what's the point of what of of the invasion of the of what what were they trying to accomplish well i think that from my understanding from a couple of other stories that came out of it is they were going by and letting people know, you'll now pay the rent to me. No matter what anybody says, I'm your landlord. And they were basically taking over the building. And I guess these people weren't wanting to play ball. And they said, oh, you don't want to see me as a landlord? Let me show you.

And so they apparently demonstrated their prowess with that. Do they not have guns in Aurora, Colorado? You know, I wonder that myself. I think they do. Maybe they do. I think they do. I don't know. They smoke so much weed now, they're all chilled out.

I smoke a lot of weed, and I'm going to tell you right now. Come break in my house. We'll see how chill I am. Yeah, no, even 14 of you i got enough i got two clips yeah i don't know how many shots it's gonna take but i know how many i'm willing to use that that's a fair statement right there no i i had a friend of mine who had uh he told me one time i will not say his name he goes man i've got at least three spots in the backyard with guns buried there just in case i run out in the house yeah and i was like i was like damn man you serious business

ain't you and he goes no deadly yeah i was like what are you waiting on what's coming to your house what did you do in your life is that your real name i used to keep a mag lock underneath my sink by my toilet. Yeah. Yeah. You know, nobody wants to die on the shitter. Not at all. No, I mean, Elvis showed you that was the worst way to go. I mean, he was the king. You know what I mean?

You ever hear about me dying on the shitter, just know somebody killed me. Yeah. Ain't no way. And if I'm having a heart attack or something, I'll at least fall out into the hallway. Get up and wipe. Mid heart attack, I will pull up my pants and do my belt before i fall over yeah i ain't gonna say i'll button my belt or nothing i kind of want to be found that way but i'll at least be in the hallway yeah it ain't gonna be in the bathroom no definitely not are you

gonna flush uh before falling over no i don't care i don't care about that floater you don't care about a floater no i just need some dignity i'm not the one floating i don't care about a floater? No, I just need some dignity. As long as I'm not the one floating, I don't give a shit. Oh, my God. It looks like we have run out of time here. So let me, first of all, Eugene, thank you for coming in. So glad to have you. You're going to be tonight at the Oak Lawn Casino performing with John, I mean, Johan, right?

Yeah, James Johan. James Johan, yeah. Thank y'all so much for having me out here again. It's been great as always. Yeah, I want you to come back when you have a little more time as well, and you can stay the whole show. And then after tonight,

you'll be at the Looney Bin the rest of the week. Is that right? Yes, sir. All right, I want y'all to get by and see Eugene at either Oaklawn Casino or at Looney Bin. And please tell them that Patrick sent you over there uh appreciate that very much and uh david scoot you in a little bit here so folks there we go uh if folks want to get a hold of you uh for cabot mechanical i always tell them cabot mechanical.com is that the best

way to go or is there definitely one they can always call my phone My personal number is 501-944-5776. Okay, see, he's silly like I am. He gives his personal number out. I answer as long as I'm awake, I'll answer. Yeah, I don't really tell people I'm available about 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., but you probably start earlier than that. It depends on the day and time of year. Yeah, yeah. How many calls a day do you run? That again goes to the day or year during the summer. Trying to get everybody we can anywhere from six to eight. I've ran as many as 10 or more. What's the, before we go, what's the number one cause of air conditioner failure beyond time? What's the number one cause of air conditioner failure beyond time? Lack of maintenance and just cheap parts.

Yeah. So like not changing out your filter? Filters, dirty condensers. Yeah. How often should you have an HVAC tuned up? At least every other year. A lot of people do yearly contracts. We don't do contracts. I tell folks just give me a call every year to two years, depending on the age.

Yeah, I like that. We're not going to do a contract. You just call me and we'll do it. How long, let's say that if I bought a brand new AC and every two years I have it, you know, serviced, how long will that extend the life of that air conditioner? Maintenance on the condenser, especially down here in the south, you know, how long will that extend the life of that air conditioner the maintenance on the condenser especially down here in the south you know where ac is yeah critical you know we run ac nine months out of the year right eight three years uh you know that could be the difference between a 10-year system versus a 15 17 year-year-old system. Oh, wow. So it's a significant difference.

That's significant. And I'm guessing to do a tune-up is not overly expensive. $85. $85 every other year, and you can extend the life of your HVAC by 7 to 10 years. And how much is, on average, what's an air conditioning system to put in there? $7,000, $8,000? Depends on what company. Well, right.

No, I would say without putting eyes on it, everyone's a little different, whether it's under the house, access, and the attic. Right, right, right. But a standard three-ton system, typically we're in the 75 to 85 ballpark. Yeah, so if you're gonna you know spend that much money and and with him that's still a good deal because most places you're gonna go nine ten eleven twelve thousand uh but you can extend that and save that by doing the you can definitely you can find someone cheaper than me especially the guys uh doing side work or fly by night yeah no i that's exactly

who i want i want the guy who's my cousin's friend who's off work from the oil field and thinks he can do it i know that's who i want to do my hv that's who i'm counting on for the winter he's just gonna do a little motivation no i'm not for three days and do it yeah i can also order one from timu you know what i mean yeah you can you can. I'm not going to do that either. I turned down a job. Someone ordered it off of online, had the unit sitting there, and I just. Nope. No.

No. Not a good unit. Not going to do it. All right. Well, we're running long now. Listen, thank you so much to everyone. Don't forget, if you can, we're trying to. We've been accepted.

We've been chosen to be on a reality show called The Blocked. Get a little GoFundMe if you can help. But let me just, before we go, at least thank some people who have, because it is amazing, and I am thankful to Leanna G. She gave $200. Jimmy and Sina Steele gave 100 uh Jaquita Thompson gave 100 Anonymous gave 30 uh Missy Treece gave 50 uh Matt Shockey gave 25 uh Brandon G gave 25 so man if look I don't care any amount will help us get there. But we're trying to get it.

You can see on the GoFundMe what we're trying to get. All it's going to do is cover the hotel and food while we're there. That's all we're trying to get so that we can actually afford to do it because we just don't have the budget yet. Soon, maybe, but not yet. And especially if we go on there, we'll damn sure have the budget because we're going to win it. You know what I'm saying?

Hey-o. All right, people, we are out. you you you
