You remember me talking last week that I was nominated as announcer slash commentator. Yeah, I voted for you, and I hope everybody will get out and vote for you.

It makes it a lot better. Meet me and, uh, kind of get a glimpse of, uh, some of the talent that's going to be there at Arkenbro ahead of the, yeah, that'd be great,

man. That'd be great. Uh, let's see what else is going on, uh, this morning. Uh, make sure and tell your friends, uh, patrickandthepeople.com. If you go over to the Facebook page or to our blog, you may or may not have heard that we entered in, we had been, I guess, trying to get accepted into a reality show that's for entrepreneurs for our show. And we were selected and we went through a long process where we fill out the application, then we answer video questions, then we did an in-person Zoom,

and finally they let us know, I guess it was a Sunday night? Yeah. Or Monday night, maybe, even, that we were selected. Nice. But we do have to pay for our expenses while we're there. That's just part of the deal. And so we've got a little GoFundMe there. If you can help us out, it would be great. We just don't have any budget. And this is big for us because it's on Amazon Prime. It's hosted by Wes from The Challenge. He started the competition. And it's a big deal for us because we would get to work with the best entrepreneurs in the world who will help sit down with us to craft out things specifically for this program to make it better.

And it lasts about a week. And we could win several thousand dollars for the business as well. So if you can help us out, look, if you can just give five bucks, a dollar, ten dollars, I don't give a damn. And anything that you can help us with would would be very appreciated. Because, like I said, we just don't have a lot of budget yet. You know, it's just keeping the show going. So that'd be great if you could. Hey, it's going to be a lot of fun to do that.

Man, it is. That's going to be a lot of fun to do that man it is that's going to be a heck of an experience it's up in tulsa uh so you know we'll drive there and stay for a week and then each day you do um different competitions based on different themes for entrepreneurs so it might be a marketing theme uh and then at the end of each day, some designated member of the team gets up and gives the presentation. And that's how you win each day is giving the best presentation, the one that the people are most interested in, that sounds the best. And I feel like I'm pretty good at talking. Yeah, running my mouth. You might have a little experience doing that. Yeah, I think I got an edge on some of those folks in that regard, you know, because I don't mind.

I mean, hell, I've done stand-up. I've done it all. I'll get up in front of anybody and talk, you know. So now are there like, do they vote like a team off at the end of every presentation? No, it's not that way. It doesn't work like that. But I think it's a cumulative amount of points that you earn as you go through to determine the winner. So I don't think anybody's booted out like in a traditional reality show.

It's as much about growing businesses and helping you as an entrepreneur. It's only a week long. I was going to say. It's not like it's 30 days or 100 days like Big Brother, which I am auditioning for Big Brother. Are you? Yeah, hell yeah, I am. I'm going to do my video after the show today.

Yeah. Yeah, I was doing it earlier and you walked in. I was wondering. brother uh yeah hell yeah i am i'm gonna do my video after the show today yeah uh yeah i was doing it earlier and you walked in i was wondering yeah that's what i was doing i was shooting my big brother video you know i've been working on it for a few minutes so let me i think i got an extra minute let me just do it you know and right then when i heard the door open i went ah okay i applied for like one of those netflix shows forever Oh, did you? It was called The Circle. Oh, that's a big show. Yeah, I like that show. I never made it.

I made it to like the final casting. Man, you just got to. There's so many of them out there. If you get on one, if you just get on one, just apply for a bunch of them. Because if you just get on one and do anything, you can get in the circuit a little bit. Wrote your ticket. Yeah, yeah. You're almost, if you can make it just a little bit into it,

you've almost guaranteed you're going to get some other reality show as well. Really? And they'll start reaching out to you because, you know, now you have reality TV experience and that's what they're looking for. You know what I mean? All right. Let's get to a little bit of news here and talk about that. Oh, man.

A San Diego area man is under investigation it was learned he communicated with the wisconsin school shooter uh carlsbad california resident alexander papendorf has been ordered to surrender his guns after a judge approved a gun violence restraining order authorities say during an interview with FBI agents, the 20-year-old admitted talking to 15-year-old Natalie Rupnow online, telling the teen about his own plans to arm himself and carry out an attack against a government building. He was trying to coordinate the attacks. Rupnow, of course, killed a student and a teacher before turning the gun on herself at school earlier this week uh man that's

crazy you know that's the negative power of the internet yeah you know uh when you have people who are you know fringe or who have been uh activated in a negative manner that and they can talk to each other that's that's bad yeah you know that's bad oh yeah um now this could be good for you the already massive mega millions jackpot rolled rolled over again Tuesday night's grand prize unclaimed. That means the drawing coming up Friday is worth at least $825 million. It's the largest Mega Million jackpot that's ever been up for grabs in the month of December. By the way, if you cash that out, which is the only way to go if you win the lottery, that would be just over $382 million.

That'd probably give you a good 2025. Somebody in New York, California would be super happy. You think that's where it would be? Well, it always seems like it's that way, man. No, does it? Yeah, it's always somebody in New York, California, Washington, somewhere where there's like 8 gazillion people. Yeah, that's, yeah. Well, somebody's got to win. May as well be you, Rich.

I mean, I would love to. Well, you know what? Celebrities all deciding to get into politics, and now it's Paris Hilton. That's right. Reality TV star slash model spoke to The Hill yesterday after a bill she advocated that supports at-risk children was passed by the House. The Stop Institutional Child Abuse Act was passed after it unanimously cleared the Senate last week. Hilton said she'd never felt prouder. There's definitely more to do. I'll be coming back to D.C. Yeah, she must be taking a page out of kim kardashian

you know did you know that um not that that you watch it or even care but they uh kim kardashian that's how she really broke through she worked for paris hilton she was her closet designer oh that's what kim she used to design yeah big you know rich people's closets she set up some kind of closet system for them that i guess was supposed to be all cool and everything and so she was on paris's show from that and then of course she had a special video with uh ray j that helped her too oh yeah i remember that yeah yeah yeah yeah uh Let's see. The Charlotte Hornets have learned very quickly you don't give a kid a toy and then take it away. The NBA is apologizing for dropping the ball on an on-the-court giveaway when Charlotte's mascot gave a kid a PlayStation 5 during the break at the Spectrum Center Monday night. A friend later posted on social media that the game console was taken away when the cameras were turned off and the kid was given a jersey instead.

Uh-huh. Apparently, there was a big miscommunication about the stunt. So after a bunch of backlash, they issued an apology and said they would give it to him and also a VIP experience to the game. Why would you do that in the first place? I don't know know but it sounds dumb as hell yeah who had that idea no i mean i'd see you talk about man a letdown as a kid yeah you mean you gave me a ps5 now i gotta trade it for a jersey man screw you man for real i'd be like i'm done all right by the heart forget the hornet right by the way if you don't know it's very

cold today it was 36 just earlier i don't know if it's very cold today. It was 36 just earlier. I don't know if it still is, but it's going to be very cold today. Not only here, but forecasters telling holiday travelers in the east to prepare for freezing weather in the days ahead. About 120 million Americans are going to travel over the Christmas holiday. If you're traveling the east, you better bundle up. Not that you wouldn't anyway, but they say it's going to be the coldest air of the season uh the midwest may get a heavy snow from a canadian storm front called the alberta clipper it's a good name uh we just have things like hurricane albert you know uh anyway

the best chance for snow on christmas eve will be in the northeast and northwestern states. Yeah, we get leaves for Christmas. Yeah. Yeah. Bluey is the number one streaming show through last month. Yes, it's tops for preschoolers, but apparently there's a large adult following as well. The show boosted Disney Junior enough to give the channel four of the top ten shows for preschoolers in the U.S. The channel's ranked number one for kids two to five

for the third year in a row uh man this is a little weird uh first of all blondie is still alive second of all blondie confirmed their upcoming album wow yeah guitarist chris stein shared an update on blue skies saying with uh john congleton new blondie record next year his post included pictures of debbie harry and the producer in the studio uh he produced the band's most recent album pollinator wow they had a recent album came out in 2017 there's a lot of news with inside that news right no doubt uh christmas a week away oh my god is it a week away man are you serious right now is that under a week away what the hell happened man telling you how did that happen everybody's getting a text message from me for christmas yeah that's a special text with a present right

uh the tsa is already seeing a high number of items being confiscated at denver a sword hidden in a cane one of those items items it looks like a cane it was brought by a 91 year old woman on Saturday to the checkpoint when it went through x-ray because they x-ray everything they said this is a cane sword so the cane of course is concealed in the handle of the sword itself right I've seen a bunch of these but as a matter of fact I think we have one at home I was gonna say normally they're for fun and yeah you're not gonna actually hurt anybody with it no but i mean if you're 91 i mean you're trying to protect yourself i think that's great that you got a sword i was gonna say you got a sword that's pretty awesome it's a badass 91 year old woman man

that's with her no uh the mat we're going to talk more about this later. There's a lot of interesting stuff about this. The massive stopgap spending bill given to House members on Tuesday night for a possible vote is dead. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise said yesterday that Mike Johnson's 1,500-plus page bill is done and won't be brought to a vote. is done and won't be brought to a vote. That is probably in part because, you know, a lot of people came out against it, particularly Elon Musk and J.D. Vance and the president. But Elon Musk said, yeah, if you vote for this, you should be voted out in two years. And so everybody went, hold on a second, hold on a second. Things are changing around here

but i mean i understand why i mean you want to pass this multi-billion dollar bill full of a bunch of junk and this guy's saying look we're coming to clean out the closet and you want to throw a bunch of more trash in it right right before i clean it out what sense does that make and i get that you know uh so they're i think they're going to try to pass a skinny bill instead which just keeps the government open uh but even if the government does a partial shutdown all the essential services are still there i mean you don't for the most part i think the worst it ever got was like because this seems to happen just about every every free yeah i think the worst that i ever remember was where like they closed down the national park yeah yeah. And they didn't have to do that. They did that to make a statement.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. But yeah, that was the last time. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell revealed the latest move by the Fed. They are dropping another quarter point to reduce the interest rate. After that, it kind of shook up Wall Street a little bit. The Dow Jones fell 1,100 points, the largest drop since August. Projected interest rates for the next two years represented a total interest rate cut in 2025 of

50 basis points with another 50 basis point cut over 2026. So I can tell you already that it's having a positive impact because a lot of people are shopping for homes right now and this is not the time of year people shop for home yeah honestly this is the dead time of the year for a real estate agent but i'm busy as hell well good man i know i mean it's a good thing but i'm just saying that uh because the rates are coming down and the elections over in the world didn't catch fire right you know people are, people are like, okay, let's go buy a house. I said that after we got the results. I was like, smells like cheaper groceries and lower interest rates.

Yeah. Something like that. Let's see. TikTok's fight against a ban on the platform continues. The Supreme Court said they will hear arguments on the company's challenge to the law that put a January 19th deadline in place for the parent company to sell it or see it banned. Those arguments are going to be heard in a court on January 10th. The Supreme Court said the Justice Department and TikTok lawyers should be prepared to argue on the issue of the ban potentially violating the First Amendment.

I heard they already came out with a replacement. Yeah. Yeah. Something called like lemon eight or something i'm sure there's something there's always a new one you know just goes away another one's gonna pop yeah i mean ultimately it would be replaced i mean look uh uh they have that blue sky now which uh you know you have x which was twitter right and some people were not happy with the direction of it so they launched a blue. It seems to be doing very well.

Yeah, well. So there's room. There's room for others. There's always going to be a place for people to embarrass themselves in a video. We're never going to stop watching that. We're never going to stop watching train wrecks happen. No, we've been watching that since that crappy America's Funniest Home videos. Oh, man.

Right? I mean, think about that, how long we've been watching people fail. I wonder how many different hosts there have been of that show. I don't know. Probably as many as the family. No matter what else comes from the wave of drone sightings, there's been one result that's measurable. The FAA said there's been a 269% increase in reports of people hitting planes with lasers in New Jersey compared to the same period last year. There were 59 incidents reported between December 1st and 16th, with only 16 reported in the same period in 2023.

The FBI's got more than 5,000 tips about drone sightings because anytime anybody sees a drone right now, they're going to call somebody. They're going crazy over it. Let's see. A person in southwest Louisiana confirmed by the CDC to have the first severe illness caused by bird flu in the United States. Officials investigating determined the patient was exposed to sick and dead birds in backyard flocks. The patient is currently hospitalized.

The governor of California, for some reason, declared a state of emergency yesterday over the bird flu um i guess because somebody now has it they proactively declared a state of emergency in california that it's very california right yeah yeah yeah now we'll have to take some rights now just in case it comes. I think California is just in a permanent state of emergency. No, it's done. No, that place is done. Remember murder hornets, the Asian giant hornets that arrived in America in 2020? Well, they've gone from the U.S. That's the announcement made by Washington State and the Department of Agriculture.

They said no detections of the invasive insect in the state since 2021. And Washington was the only state to have confirmed reports of them. So they think they've gotten rid of the murder hornets already. There's always something new to watch out for. And now it's wild monkeys in Florida. The authorities are warning residents in Orange City and two neighboring communities to not feed or approach monkeys wandering around. Yeah, they'll mess you up, man. They posted pictures of the monkeys on Facebook after receiving multiple reports. The department

said the sighting started December 13th, about 30 miles north of Orlando. Unlike the primates that escaped from a research center, they think these monkeys are just wild monkeys. Feeding wild monkeys is a second-degree misdemeanor in Florida. What? Yeah. It's punishable by $500 and up to 60 days in jail. It's been illegal since 2017. For feeding a monkey?

Feeding a wild monkey. Feeding a wild monkey. Yeah, I guess there's a danger to it. I don't know i mean uh earlier this week danger to feeding wild old people in florida too at times yeah no i agree with that yeah they probably should be less uh earlier this week a 20 year old blind cat named tiki was rescued from an icy pond in westford massachusetts after he was spotted stranded on a piece of cracking ice. A pair of workers used a rowboat to save the cat.

Animal officials took him to the vet and treated him for hypothermia. Why? Why would you, a cat, really? A 20-year-old blind cat at that? Come on, man, it was his time. He wandered out on the ice. That was Darwinism.

He was done. He was blind. He was dumb. He's 20 years old. You got to let him go. Clicking his ticket. He was like, man, this is great. I'm finally getting in.

I'm so tired. Right. Then you come and pull him out and ruin it for him. Assholes. I just want to die. I just want to go, man. I'm tired. Let me go. Ice Nine Kills announced a new tour for 2025.

It's $25 is all it is. That's a pretty good deal.

All right, the U.S. Navy has bestowed Tom Cruise their highest civilian honor, the Distinguished Public Service Award. Yeah, he's probably single-handedly recruited more pilots than anyone in the world. You think, Rich, that Tom Cruise has probably recruited more pilots for the Navy than anybody in the world? Oh, absolutely. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Top gun alone. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Yeah.

Absolutely. Real quick, let's get to some sports, and then we got some guests here. Adam Silver, recent criticisms about the current state of NBA play have forced Commissioner Adam Silver to take a closer look. Most notably, he's going to look at the increase in three-point shots that people say have taken away from the game and make it unwatchable. Talking to reporter Silver commented that the issue might not be as simple as just three pointers. They might have to do with the skill level on the floor, diversity of offense. Yeah, I mean, part of it is that everybody wants to be a three shooter. Another part of it is you have

all these super teams and then the rest of the teams are a bunch of scrubs that are trying to make it, you know, and it's the new way that things work. It's hard sometimes to get a team to stay together. The NFL owners voted and agreed on a change for flex scheduling procedures. Those changes put into effect this season. Most recent, the moving of tonight's matchup that was going to be the Browns and Bengals was switched to the Broncos Chargers.

At that time, the Giants owner, John Mara, called out the vote, saying the effects of moving the game from Sunday to Thursday and vice versa leave fans with a problem who've made plans to attend the game, book hotels or whatever. Yeah. No, it would. I mean, that is a problem. All right.

Okay. And everybody's like, I don't want a Google account. You've got to have a Gmail account in order to set up. Oh, to do a YouTube. But no, in a nutshell, we're just three dudes.

It's me, it's Smokestack, it's Mikey G, who's always absent when shit needs to get done. Yeah, yeah, I understand. But we're all about community. We love taking care of community. We love taking care of the community. We love supporting local. We push that big time. Yeah. We try to do fundraisers to take care of nonprofits and whatnot.

And that's certainly what this show is about is elevating people in our community and lifting them up more.

And man, it's been so amazing. I was just telling someone yesterday, you know, I love the show that I did before. It was so much fun. But to be honest, I have a hell of a lot more fun doing this because every single day I get to talk to different people who are interesting, who have different backgrounds, who are doing different things. And it shines a light on these people in our own community. Because a lot of times you don't know the people in your own community. Yesterday I interviewed a band, Sean Danielson from Smile Empty Soul. You guys heard of them?

They were a big band, still are. a band uh sean danielson from smile empty soul you guys heard of them oh yeah hell yeah you have uh they were a big band still are and uh a lot of people don't know he lives here right yeah he lives here now uh sean does and uh yeah yeah yeah and uh we interviewed him matter of fact it'll be the after school special uh we'll release it saturday it was a great interview ranged everything in the world of course we talked about music but we talked about everything, you know, because he was one of those guys in 2021 that did something very unpopular, and they tried to cancel him because he didn't want venues to require a vaccine for, you know, his ticket goers. And he said, I'm not trying to make a decision

whether you should or shouldn't i just don't want them forced to do it and some of the venues he canceled because they they wouldn't back down and i was like you know i respect that you stood your ground on where you wanted to be that don't happen a lot these days no no and that's what i said most people are just going to go with whatever they're told uh because it's easier and because that's where the money is right you know uh but i told him i said you know rock and roll used to be about being a rebel correct but it's not so much anymore yeah yeah and now it's about being a corporate hack a lot of times and uh that's not very rock and roll yeah it's like you go to like countryside of it jamie johnson he's got a song that we're talking about putting between jennings and jones yeah and that's kind of the same deal putting them on a shelf yeah no we like

We're working on something for the new year. Okay, cool. Kind of doing a highlight kind of thing and picking some folks. But now John was on our show a couple years ago.

Yeah. And you were just talking about doing something. So we thought, let's get this together and do something. You just had mouths and you wanted to run? Yeah. That's all we have. We ain't got no but time. thought, let's get this together and do something. You just had mouths you wanted to run? Yeah, yeah. That's all we have. We ain't got no but time. But we've known each other for, all three of us have known each other for years.

Just thought, hey, let's see what can happen. It's a good time. I mean, we did, what, five years now we've been doing it? Yeah. I knew you'd been at it for a minute. It's fun. And now you're rich and famous. Exactly. Right? Yeah. I right yeah sure yeah all the above now we need to y'all me too right and it's funny if someone was like man

y'all get paid i was like no no nothing like i'm actually trying to set up uh i'm trying to finish the 501c3 side of the the dads after dark oh yeah so you can do the charitable organization thing and do different projects yeah we've had to ride on the shirt tails of some non-profits to in order to do it right so but now we're doing that ourselves but now we just covid i think boosted us a little bit because we did it right before then and then it happened and everybody's like oh my god what are we gonna do no that that man i wish that that in that time i was doing that because it absolutely uh put a captive audience in the room you know i mean why do you think tiger king did what it did i mean it jesus half the country watched tiger king oh yeah what i'm saying and it was compelling as hell uh but we had a great uh interview with joe yesterday

yep yeah no he's always uh interesting to talk to you know always very interesting i couldn't believe i got him talk about being on vacation in belize i don't know how i did that but uh it was a lot of fun real quick here just want to give a shout out to the dads after dark a lot of y'all fans are in here saying good morning. So we got Josh Trulio. He says, hello, it's Dads After Dark. He said he's going to tell his cousins to go pick up their nails so you don't get in the morning. Thank you.

That's great. He says, hi, Outlaw and Smokestack. Was that cheesy? Yeah, yeah. That's our number one intern right there. Okay. All right. Hey, I'll tell you what.

You said that everybody needs a gunner. Yeah. On our world, everybody intern right there. Okay. All right. I'll tell you what. You said that everybody needs a gunner. Yeah. On our world, everybody needs a Kim. Okay. We can be sitting. So we do this at my house, basically. Yeah. And we can be sitting there, and Mikey or me or Rodney or somebody will be like,

man, dude, a freaking pizza would be good right now. And that's all we say. And then next thing you know, the door comes flying open, and here comes Mama Cheesy with a daggum pizza from larry's yeah or a shake from from sonic like she is even when we're doing fundraisers or events that woman right there can sell ice that's awesome man now that's that's great yeah we try to have a gunner like you said yeah glover's kind of our gunner but he's not very good at it. We're still trying to get him there. I understand.

He does great. He handles all the uploads and all that stuff. You know, a lot of people don't realize it because, you know, when I started to do this, initially my only idea was I just want to do an internet radio show just like I did. And it was Gunner who kind of, you know, slowly walked me over to the dark side. But what you don't realize is how many steps

and how many things are involved in streaming anywhere, much less to multiple places. I mean, there's a lot that goes into that. And if one thing happens, everything happens. Yeah, no, it's true. Hey, we did get, we were the feature on Odyssey front page yesterday, which was really cool. Yeah. Yeah, that was good to land on their front spot.

So, you know, you guys obviously have been together a long time. You know, what, how do you feel about where you're going with your podcast? What you got planned? I mean, what do you think in the future? Is it more about the charities involved? What is it going to be about as you keep going i mean i think that's our big deal is is helping being in the community we're all about helping yeah i mean and it's and it's funny is every time we'll see somebody out in the general public that we don't know that know us and they're like oh my god hey you know we love what you do for the community that's like

always a word that follows i i think it's great and and i'll tell, you know, we love what you do for the community. That's like always a word that follows. I think it's great. And I'll tell you, you know, again, the pandemic, Mr. Beast. Right. You know, I mean, ultimately, one of those guys who does a lot, right? Yes. He literally just got permission from the Egyptian government to film in the pyramid. Holy crap. Wow. crap wow you know how difficult

that is to accomplish i mean they arrest people just for walking up a pyramid you know yeah he got permission to do it in the pyramids wow that's insane man you know that would be epic beyond epic but you know he's at that point where pretty much if he snaps his finger something's gonna happen you know uh i mean but man it like he's got his own channel on roku all it is is you know contest that he puts people through it's just that's all it is all day long you know and uh and he does a good job with it i see some of that and i'm like man i need to you know put my name out there in Chattanooga. I'm like, man, half of that's probably not real.

But then you go back and really look, and it's like, man, he's doing it. No, no. You know, I watched an episode where, you know, they went to Africa and put in 50 wells in different places in Africa. And because the government wouldn't do it and it doesn't cost that much according to him uh but he went over and did it and i mean that you know how significant that is when you have a village that doesn't have water and you come in and create it i mean that's huge you know and that's cool that he's got it like that and he resourcefully does things with it well you know we've been talking talking about it over the past week or so

that there's been a big shift in celebrity. And, again, you know, the pandemic caused a lot of problems, but I think on the other side of it, it's changed things. You know, some people never came back. True. You know, they're still gone. Mike. But what did happen, though, is that on the other side, people are like, listen, I'm tired of these elite celebrities that shit on me or act like

they're better than everybody. And, and the model moved to the post Malone jelly roll. You know, these kinds of folks who are true down to-to-earth, good people. And all of them, any of those, you know, whether it's Post, whether it's Jelly Roll, whether it's, you know, Five Finger Death Punch. They're all, every community they come in, they leave it better than they came. Yeah. They do something in that community. I mean, dude, what was it, a $17,000 tip he left at the Gustis? Whatever.

Yeah, it was up there. It was significant. It wasn't anything to scoff at. No. No, I'm sure it made the Christmas for some of those folks over there. I guarantee it. It made a lot. Did y'all report those tips?

Yeah. You know they did. I know I wouldn't. That's kind of, I mean, that's what we just try to give back. We realized when we started doing this, what can we do for the community? Yeah. I think the first fundraiser we raised $1,200,

and we thought that was awesome. It is awesome. We're giving back to this local park there in the town that wasn't funded by anybody. We just kind of did it and then the next year we did something else the next so it's built and then raising 14 000 a little over 14 000 this year that's that's huge that is huge man i mean i keep trying to climb now we got and it's not easy you know we had uh fundraisers for years uh at the program, you know, where we raised money initially for the

September fund and later for the van and the humane society. And, you know, it's always a lot of work to be able to generate that kind of revenue. And it's a lot of work and you got to have a lot of people. You do. You have to have a large contingency of committed volunteers. Yes. And they jump in. A lot of times they take a lot of it and run with it. Yeah, no, they do. You don't have to do, you know, we set it up and we work quite a bit. Outlaw's usually the one that throws it out there. Hey, in two weeks we're going to have a fundraiser. So we don't ever, we're not very good at planning. Just like when we do our show, it's just kind of whatever comes off the.

Yeah, no, I get that. You know, so. Yeah, that's. That's how dads do it, right? That's the one thing we notice. It's like, you know, we kind of watch everything and it's like all right y'all kind of got a timeline and a script and kind of what you kind of plan no we walk in the door hit the power button it's like yeah here we go we don't even look at each other and go what are we talking about yeah you just go

we start talking no and i think that's great yeah that's more or less what we do yeah more or less and it's it's crazy how we interrupt each other and we poke each other and one conversation leads to another one we don't finish this one and it's just oh man yeah no it's just stream of consciousness we tried the the the structured way yeah yeah it didn't make it through half a show yeah yeah uh you know i start when we first started i was way more structured than I am now. I have, you know, a few things that I do every day, but for the most part, it's, you know, just free flow conversation because it's just I think that's what people are more interested in. Yeah. You know, anybody can read you something, but they want to hear what you're thinking, what you're doing. That's what everybody's like. What do y'all talk about? What is your – and it's like the first thing is we never, ever talk about politics

and we never, ever talk about religion because – Yeah, that's a good call. We have our own beliefs, you know, and one side versus the other. But at the end of the day, it always generates a negative conversation. Yeah. And, I mean, I know people that's been friends for life that's friends. Oh, yeah. They're gone over politics.

Yeah, which is the dumbest thing in the world to me. People don't know how to have a gold conversation anymore. Man, that's because, you know, look, and I don't want to go down that well, but I will. Here we go. You know, schools have changed, and it shifted the mindset of people and uh you know that that that's an unfortunate mindset that uh that's been a plague i i think right social media too yeah that that as well you know uh you can't hold people accountable on the other side of that keyboard you know right look you can't be uh if you want everybody to do it one way and one way only.

That's called communism. You know, I mean, that's what it is. If that's what you want is only your way is right and you want everyone to do it your way. You're a communist and that's OK. You can be a commie here. That's fine. But it's not what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to be what they call a melting pot where you have all these ideas that come together. Right. And sometimes we agree and sometimes we don't, but you know,

I think most humans, 90% of us probably, or we probably agree on 90% of things. It's 10%. That's a problem. Right. And somehow that 10% means I hate you. Yeah.

You know, and I don't even get that. Uh, let's do this real quick. If you are looking for a vehicle, listen, don't make a bad investment. Don't drive something off the lot and drop 25% the day you drive off. Go get a late model low mileage vehicle over at Pitts Auto. Listen, they're local.

They're locally owned. They're their own bank. They've been doing this for almost 50 years now. These guys know what they're doing, and they have great vehicles. I know, I know, I know you're saying, but my credit's not that good. That's what they specialize in. They're their own bank. They don't need your credit to be great.

They just need you to come in. They're going to work it through with you, get you set up, get you reported to the credit bureau. Go check them out. It's at 8421 Stagecoach Road in Little Rock. Or you can check them out at Fitz Auto online. What do you guys think about the studio, by the way? It's cool.

I like it. They wanted to come check out when I was on their podcast. I was, you know, watching it on Facebook. And I was like, man, I want to come check out your equipment. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're in for my equipment, man. It's funny. We can say stuff like like that and the man brain automatically kicks in but mikey's brain just goes it does yeah he is all about the equipment stuff he he gets all into he gets all into the tech side of it yeah he likes hitting the buttons and playing with stuff

he can't get his hands to himself no no i get. And he may not be here in person, but he is on Facebook. He says to, I guess he's kind of like, you know, we put you through the table last week. Oh, right, okay. I guess he's kind of like that for them. The perpetual victim. Yeah, he says to ask you all about all the different ways that you torture him.

Oh, it's nonstop. I don't know that it's torture. Let's be honest. I don't know that it's torture. Let's be honest. One episode, we took an extra small youth hoodie. Yeah. It was Mikey Way, about 250.

80, 900. 200, 900 pounds. 300, 400, I think, yeah. He said, who are you talking about? How does he feel dressed? What does he feel dressed at? Yeah, we put that hoodie on him, or we had him put the hoodie on, and then he couldn't get it off. No. He was stuck. Oh, my God. Then we the hoodie on, and then he couldn't get it off. He was stuck.

Oh, my God. Then we amped it up and put a little show into it, but I ended up pulling my four-wheeler up close to the deal and hooking the winch to it. We winched that damn thing off. You're lucky you didn't rip his head off, man. That was the goal, but it didn't happen. And then my son has one of those little Orbi things that, you know,

the pew-pew, you know what I'm talking about? Oh, yeah, yeah. Like an airsoft. Yeah. And we tested it out on him a few times. Well, see, we're starting after the first of the year. Every Monday, I'll spin the Wheel of Pain. Yes.

And whatever it lands on on Friday, I have to endure that. That's what's up. So if you ever get one you don't want, just let us know. We'll send Mikey up here and get him to have a little bit of a feel in it. endure that that's what so if you ever get one you don't want just let us know right so my brother's a police officer and he was actually we were going to tase mikey live yeah and mikey backed out he's a puss well tell him to come tase me live yeah all right because i had a man to do it but you know she used one of those regular, you know, the stunt regular over-the-counter stunt guns. I want the lightning. We'll make it happen.

Okay. Now, if you can do that, I'll sing your praises for it. It's happening. There it is. I've had three different departments back out on me because, you know, everybody's going away from the taser now. If I knew he was awake, I could have him here before the show was over. Wow. Now we're talking. If you knew he was awake, I could have him here before the show was over. Wow. Now we're talking.

If you can do it, I'll do it. How about that? I'll be sitting on the bed. Here we go. You got, what do we got, about an hour and 40 minutes here that you got to get him up here? I'm about to go down Dixon. Right. God bless, dude.

I keep looking. Go down Dixon, man. Be sure and take Dixon. It's the way to go. Yeah. Sit and lower to the ground. But Monday, if everything goes as planned, we're actually going to do a little Christmas deal. But we're going to take Mikey and wrap him up in Christmas paper.

Yeah. And then my son's got that airsoft. And we're going to try to unwrap him. We're going to unwrap him. Okay. He doesn't really get much choices in it. He just has to go with what we yeah he's what i refer to in radio as a gorilla in a diaper right and and and that's because you know there's always

that one guy that you can send out to be gorilla in a day you put on a diaper and go out and be gorilla in a diaper in traffic and let's record it and do stupid stuff right and it sounds like mikey's that guy yeah yeah and then yeah he then he's like, yeah, whatever you want. He's the Steve-O. Yeah. Go ahead and staple my nutsack to the table. That's fine. Oh, good idea.

I don't know who's going to do it, though. Bingo. I'm not touching it. We had him walk across my pool, which was frozen. Yeah. And I mean, everybody was freaking out. They're like, no. We had medical people getting in there.

Hey, I don't think this is a good idea. But we did it anyway. Yeah, of course you did. That's smart. Before we could get him outside to actually do it, there was probably 20 people in my yard waiting. Yeah. No, no.

People love to see people get hurt. That's the best thing. No, I'm telling you, the video of me going through a table is probably the most watched video we have. I mean, it's every media that we've got. It blew up uh me going through that damn table dude i was watching i wasn't watching live but i was i was watching it and i was sitting in my chair and i was like y'all were face to face and he throws you up on his

shoulder and i was like man that's yeah that's how it felt too holy there wasn't it looked like he's slow getting up a little bit there when he afterwards but hey it is yeah no i mean you go through a table see if you're a little slow getting up i'm slow getting up anyways big fat ass jumped on me right after that and pinned me and i'm like hey man that wasn't even part of the deal player this is just a slam now you're going for a pin which is why i'm now in the main event because i i was like now you went too far player now we get to yeah revenge yeah no no i'm i'm doing it they're planning on coming to arkansas are you guys gonna be there that's awesome so it's

uh we're gonna try to um that's cool i get it it should be baseball season takes up our whole life yeah it starts a lot of people as it does yes we're gonna try um i actually was talking about because have y'all heard of albie taylor the just Alvy News? He does a lot of, he's local. He does a lot of. I haven't. But I'd like to. He hauls. Yeah, he's an interesting cat, man.

I've known him for a long time. But he runs around and he reports real news to people. He doesn't sugarcoat it. No, he just delivers it. Yeah, he'll go stand live in front of whatever's going on and he'll do it. And he rubbed some people wrong in the beginning, but everybody, he's got a huge following right now. But we always talk about how much him and Mikey hate each other

and how we're going to get them in the ring one day. And I'm like, man, that'd be epic to get them two in a prelim match up there and let them just go ham. Man, you know, I don't have anything to do with that, but this guy right here you can talk to i mean it'd probably be you could probably do two 35 second matches yeah you can make it that long maybe every bout should have a quasi celebrity fight in it maybe you know maybe you could start bringing people with grudges from the community right and add one of those to each fight card come yeah that could be fine you know so they really don't

dislike each other but yeah man the all the followers everybody watches they honestly they've sent us messages yeah about why do they not like it's like you know it's just play into it yeah i think a lot of it too is their views are so completely opposite from each other. Yeah. And they can have the arguments and still be okay. Yeah. But they poke at each other nonstop. So that's where.

No, I understand that. I've been in that kind of relationship before. Yeah. For about 13 years before this. There you go. I may or may not have poked the bear a time or two. You know what I mean? So what you've been on five years now. What do y'all use?

Is this the kind of board you guys use? What do y'all use? We use, so when we're streaming, we use Streamlabs. Okay. Streamlabs allows you to go to multiple platforms at the same time. And then we use the Rodecaster Pro. Okay, which is real similar to this one. It's a super similar system.

We almost got that one and went with the TASCAM for some preference Gunner had because he's Gunner. And then we got the ATEM Mini, which is our video switcher. Okay. And then we just went to some, basically, there's some Sony mini camcorders that we just run the live the video through yeah i mean we started off with a with a webcam that we had sitting on yeah yeah no i mean it's amazing that we have a four camera setup here you know we can toggle through and now the one thing that i i didn't do correctly is the mic arms. I'm going to try to get those switched out by the new year. You know, I went with what I was accustomed to and it does work, but it blocks too much

and it's too much table room. What did you use to have the standups? We went to a basic standup. Yeah. And it works great, doesn't it? Every once in a while we'll get to, you know, what do we do with our hands? And you'll hear it. Right, of course. But as long as we keep our hands off of them. And if you gate your mic a little bit with the compressor, it'll help some of that. You know, the headphones.

I think we've got the cheapest headphones we could find on Amazon. If they work, they work. It doesn't matter. We just recently upgraded because it was like, all right, these are hurting our ears. Did you get the Sonys? No, we didn't. We upgraded from the cheapest to the next cheapest yeah yeah we're not the cheapest anymore you went from the kia to the hyundai exactly it's funny it's in the beginning it's

not funny but in the beginning everything we did came out of our pocket the three of us split oh that sounds familiar yeah we split it all and then we did some uh football squares razorback football squares and then that allows us to raise a little bit of money and we yeah we did uh we did a few things son of a bitch is at legion working what do they think come on now go home it's christmas time yeah we uh y'all get the day off yeah we did some fundraising and we told everybody look we're trying to raise money because we want to upgrade the show. We want to have different camera angles. Yeah, absolutely.

And better this and better that. That's what I've got a little GoFundMe right now because we got chosen to be on the blocks. Yeah, and super excited about it because for us, it's a really great opportunity to go and be with other entrepreneurs who are successful, who have done things and who can, you know, really help us grow this even more to that next level. Because I'm no different than anybody else. I mean, why wouldn't I want to be Joe Rogan, too?

You know what I mean? Not necessarily what he does, but the same type of. He's on a whole new level. Oh, no, he changed the game. I mean, he literally changed the game. He changed the game. I mean, he literally changed the game. And a lot of people ask, do you miss radio?

And I'm like, no, I don't because, no disrespect, but radio is the old way. And it's all, look, if you want something sanitized, you want something inauthentic, go to radio. Because that's what you're going to get. I mean, you're going to get the same corporate cheese, the same schlock anywhere. And that's what they replaced with, you know, no diss but it's cheesy right you know it's it's safe you know you know what i'm talking about that's what they want they want yeah puppets that's in a sense yes people no and and i wasn't that and uh and and that's why ultimately i said no i can't i can't do this show y'all i can't come back from what I just did for 20 years and bring that to my people. You know, they're not going to want that.

They're going to be like, where's Patrick? Who is this guy? What is this about? And I couldn't do it, you know. He's only disgruntled. Yeah, yeah. Now he's just mildly perturbed. One of my most favorite business people in the world is Dana White.

Yeah, he's a good one. Because he gives no shit. No, he doesn't. He doesn't give a damn. This is my world and this is how I'm running it. Yeah, no, he, you know, and of course when you're worth that amount, it's kind of easy. A little easier to do.

You know, it's a little harder for a guy who's just trying to pay the bills. But, yeah, no, I do respect him for that. But super respect him for what he's been able to accomplish because when he started UFC, I mean, it was a joke. People didn't take him seriously at all. And over time, I mean, it's, you know, surpassed boxing as the go-to combat sport. You know, so, matter of fact, we're hoping, matter of fact, we're planning after the first of the year to have a combat sports segment every week on the program.

I got somebody who can come see you. He's a local guy. In and out of the amateur world. He'll get into the amateur side of it, and then he's like, shit, I've got to pay some bills, and he'll go back to work for a little while. He'll go train in two or three fights. We didn't even talk about it yesterday. The guy, y'all may remember David Lindsey from over at Cabot Mechanical.

The HVAC guy came in. He was a pro MMA fighter for eight years. Wow. Yeah, we didn't even scratch that yesterday. I mean, this guy is very interesting. He's a world champion sniper. You know, he just won the the long distance competition for the united states shot a little over two miles holy uh hitting a target very tight range you know that's crazy

yeah that's not the guy you want to make mad an mma guy who can shoot you at two miles away no he can wing your ass in person or from a distance wing your ear and then come choke you out yeah he'll hobble you then put you in the rear naked chokehold that's insane speaking of cabot mechanical if you you listen uh winter is upon us it's 30 something degrees now you walked outside you went oh shit it's here yeah you didn't think it was coming it's here it's arkansas uh listen get your air conditioner serviced it's 85 bucks to get that done from Cabot Mechanical. And I promise you, we talked about it yesterday with him here.

It'll take the lifespan of your HVAC from, you know, 10 years to 20 years, basically. I mean, just by doing that every other year. Uh, if you've got any kind of, uh, heat and air issue, reach out to, uh, David at Cabot Mechanical.com, uh, and check that out. So I know you guys brought something for me. I want to talk about that, and then we're going to do something and come back and do this. But what did you bring here?

So Mikey, we talked about auctioning off his search engine. Yeah. Just because of the shit that you could probably see that he searched for. That would be great. Just the search history, just to be able to look at that and revel in it. Yeah, that'd be a lifetime worth of stories there. Yeah for that would be great just to search history just to be able to look at that and and revel in it yeah that'd be a lifetime worth of stories there yeah that'd be great but he came in one day i wouldn't want mine right would never want to be honest he came in one day with a book he was like hey man this is cool we should read this so we did and everybody was like holy crap y'all are going to get canceled yeah no that's a beautiful thing right so i reached

out to it's a company called reach around books yeah which is a great title and that's something and i'll toot my horn a little bit i have no i'm not messed up by reaching out to anyone and asking them to send you something yeah and it's gotten us a lot of really cool stuff to try yeah we're getting ready to start doing some more of that but j, there's only so many of us to go around. The best one was we're reaching out to the bourbon, and they'd sent us a couple bottles. Yeah, Heaven's Door was epic. That's a whole story.

We still hadn't done that yet again. Right. Come on. But reach around books. So we reached out to them. I was like, hey, here's what we're doing. Here's our thought process, because we send care packages out to the troops from time to time.

And that's a great thing to throw in there for fun. And that's exactly. This guy sent us three of every book he has. That's awesome, man. And he was like, here you go. So we would have someone come on the show and like, hey, surprise, you're going to read this book. That's great. And they're like, what a great little trick.

Oh, my God. But it's funny is you can take this book right now and go sit down in front of a bunch of school-age kids at a daycare. And read it, and they'll never know any different. And as long as everybody can see the pictures, it's okay. And the parents keep a straight face. But I will tell you this. If they can only hear you reading it, you're getting your ass kicked. That's great.

I love it. I love it. I think this is perfect, man. It's great. We got it. I love it. I think this is perfect, man. It's great. We got two of them we brought. I'll just throw you all the titles out there. All right. Sounds good.

And you can see the picture. It actually helps. The first one is called, Who Will Help Jack Off the Horse? See, Jack is on the horse. Little jackalope there. Yeah. Jack is a jackalope, and he's on the horse. He's a little dude.

Okay. And what's the other one? And then the other one is, Susie Likes to Look at Balls. Yeah. Yeah. No, I think those are great. He's a little dude. Okay. And what's the other one? And then the other one is Susie likes to look at balls. Yeah. No, I think those are great. There you go right there. So I'm certain that we're going to read one or both of those before the end of the show. Is that correct?

Yeah. All right. But first, but first, hashtag, but first, I need to do our weekly segment with, have you guys seen XFL Jim yet? Oh, is he back? Yes, he is. Okay. Listen, you're in for a treat, man.

This guy is probably clinically insane. And he went viral with a few videos and we reached out to him because he was kind of coming up and said, hey, how would you like your own segment? And we'll give you, you know, X amount of minutes, 15 minutes, basically to do whatever you do about sports. And he said, okay, I'll do it. And so we worked with him a little bit to get it set up. And we've done two of them so far. The first one was pretty crazy. Last week's was insanity. It was amazing because he has like this gym aiverse where he's all these different gyms. He was wizard gym last week.

He's XFL gym. He's all these different things. And then he always puts some random crazy commercial he makes himself for some fake thing. Last week it was maple syrup. And it was just fantastic, man. So this guy's a riot. So I want to play his sports segment. When we get done with that, we'll come back and we're going to read some books here.

We're going to get educated and have a little bit of fun. But let's do this for now because this is XFL Gym and you just got to have it. Hello there. XFL Gym here for the Weekly Roundup. Hello there, XFL Jim here for the weekly roundup. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha We're here. Oh, is that what it is? You jinxed it somehow? Yeah, I don't know. Somehow the audio is not tying there, and it should tie in here because we had all that up. So I'm not sure. I'm going to have to have Gunnar and Brandon take a look at that. In the meantime, let's read some books, baby. Let's just go ahead and do it.

Let's see what you got, man. What do you want first? You want to, Susie, look at balls, or you want to? I think you should read who who will help jack off the horse okay i'll start with this book yeah this this looks like a great book uh so you know what we'll do here is i'll uh i'll read this and uh you can share this with your kids for the holidays or things like that you know this would be great so we'll start here who will help jack off the horse?

Okay, and you see the jackalope on the horse. Oh, hold on. Let me get these out. Oh, my bad. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Surprise. Surprise. All right.

It says, Jack got himself onto a horse high up in the air. To get him down onto the ground we might need some stairs I am Morse Morse of course would you help jack off the horse yes that's great I do not like you Morse of course if you were mine we would divorce I would not could not Morse of course I would not help jack off the horse. Kind of as a Dr. Seuss field. It does, doesn't it? Yeah, I like it. Would you do it here or there?

I would not do it here or there. I would not do it anywhere. If he got up there somehow, would you help jack off a cow? All that I can say is, wow, I would not help jack off a cow. Not here, not there, not then, not now. I would not help jack off a cow. Perhaps if we were on a boat, would you help jack off a goat? I would not help jack off a goat.

Not here, not there, not on a boat. This jack of yours, he seems quite ill. Get him off. I never will. If I find myself afloat with you and Jack, a lofty goat, I will dive into the sea and that's the last you'll see of me. Would you do it in a car? Would you do it in the dark? Not in a car, not in the dark, not here, not there, not where we are. Let me make myself quite clear. Then I'm getting out of here. I would not help jack off the horse. I would not do it. Morse, of course, I would not help jack off a cow, not in the past, not in the now. I would not help jack off a goat. This is the end. That's all she wrote in the sea where I'll be. This is farewell

to you from me. You say you like it in the sea. In the sea, you say to me. On this day, I must agree. In the sea's the place to be. Let me make one final plea, then I swear I'll let you be. One more? Fine, just make it quick. This time with you has made me sick. As we sail across the bay, would you, could you find a way? I hope you might. I hope you may help jack off a whale today. Of all the lame ideas you've had, I must admit this one's not bad. I will do it, Morse, of course. This plan of yours, I do endorse. I would do it here or there. I would do it anywhere. I'll do it now and then again. I'll show you how, Morse, my friend. In a car or in a boat or in the dark with a goat, we'll go down in history, Morse.

Of course, you and me. For years to come, they'll tell the tale of how we helped jack off a whale. Merry Christmas. A tactical turkey says story time with Angry Pete. Yeah, no, that's great. That's great. We'll save that other one and do it here in a little bit. We don't want to give too much back to back. You know,, no, that's great. That's great. We'll save that other one and do it here in a little bit. We don't want to give too much back to back.

You know, I mean, that's great. I don't remember whose signature is in that one, the last person that read it. But that one, we let people sign it, put a message in it. Oh, that's cool. So you can pass it around. Yeah, I brought stickers and whatnot. Oh, yeah, that's great. We want those.

I got some swag for y'all. I brought some hats. Oh, awesome. I'm actually a... Shameless plug. Yeah. I got some swag for y'all. I brought some hats. Oh, awesome. I'm actually a... Shameless plug. Yeah. I'm a deer hunter. Okay.

I love to deer hunt. Yeah. And I harvest my own animals, do the whole thing. Yeah. And I actually brought some summer sausage. Okay. Nice. Hell yeah.

You know, we like to have some food around here. Hell yeah. Man, don't you just love all the guests that I bring on? Rich, you're a hero to me. He's like, do y'all got swag? to have some food around here oh yeah yeah man don't you just love all the guests that i bring on rich you're a hero to me he's like do y'all got swag we do all right no that's that's great that's great that's my first message you know like hey you want to come on the show what could you bring in hey have you uh heard anything about uh from the guys about xfl gym while you were there have you reached out to them by chance brand Brandon or Gunnar about XFL Gym? I have not.

Do you mind? Yeah, no. Okay, I just want to know what's going on there so we can get that worked out for everybody. But meanwhile, we do have things to talk about here, and I want to get to them. This is great, and I think everybody can take part in this. You know, every year there's something new that comes along that people do for the holidays something fun something different and i i think this is uh this is interesting and i think there are many ways this could be leveraged but models who look like jesus are earning two hundred dollars

an hour up to that for their divine likenesses. From family portraits to Christmas cards, these Messiah models are now being hired for a variety of photo shoots that require a holy touch. Bob Sagers, he's a six foot five model, he was discovered at a music festival, said, I make a pretty tall Jesus and has been posing as the Savior for four years. To perfect the role, models must not only look the part, you know, the long hair, beard, robes, but embody Christ-like qualities. Photographers are cashing in on the trend. A Utah-based photographer, Michaela Avalos,

has seen a surge in her business after sharing photos of a Jesus-themed shoot. I was flooded with requests after that. She's now done 50 projects, but she does warn parents, if your kid doesn't like sitting on Santa's lap, they probably won't enjoy the experience with Jesus either. So what that tells me is they're putting Jesus in a chair and kids are getting on his lap and sitting in his lap taking pictures. That's one part one part of it but i mean how many scenarios could you put jesus in if you had a model jesus i'm gonna could you put jesus on a moped right i mean you probably could yeah of course you could

yeah you could do all kinds of things with it now some people might not be amused by it but i mean i i have to imagine that uh if you the model out there, you got to do a few extra shots here and there for just the private book, right? For $200 an hour, yeah. Yeah. Money's worth it. I'm on it. No, I think that's fantastic having Jesus. I mean, Santa's one thing, but really, I mean, and you got to feel weird posing as Jesus as that guy.

You know, I mean, it's a lot of pressure to be Santa, but to be Jesus? God. Like, what is his day-to-day lifestyle like? And then just to flip the script and be Jesus on the weekend? Yeah, dude probably has a regular job. You know, he's probably a blue-collar guy working at the auto parts place, you know, and then every weekend it becomes the messiah you know and you know his wife hates it too you know you're not jesus you're not i promise you

you ain't walked on water you walked over the dirty clothes damn it yeah that's that's what they're gonna get from you like shut up and get me some wine right and bring me some water bitch uh gunner a text i'm waiting for yeah okay brandon says that's gunner's territory that is definitely gunner's territory okay no it i'm certain it's something i've done trust me it's not gunner's fault whatever it is it's all my fault uh if mikey g says you're the best reader of the book they've ever had oh yeah well thank you mike i'll try to do better on the next one uh i was a little rusty there but uh hey let's do this and see if this works actually you know what as a real estate agent i've seen lots of homes get caught up in probate that's when somebody dies and they don't have a will. And the next thing you know, siblings are arguing over houses, possessions, cars, things like that.

That is a nightmare you don't want any part of. You're going to need some help. You need someone with experience. You need Riggin Law. Okay, rigginlaw.com. Kristen Riggin there and her team are amazing at guiding you through this process. Look, you want to get what's coming to you, but you don't want to have to fight with everybody to get it.

So no matter whether you're trying to get your vape on or your butt on crazy jays is the way to go check them out they've got two location in conway crazy jays for all your vape and smoke needs baby all right we are back uh my guys over here shane's over here on the phone

with uh the taser man to see what can happen uh with that they're working out some some things there i don't know if it's gonna you know the challenge to be here by the end of the show may be too much for anyone but i i will stand by it if he can show up i'll take that all right oh yeah maybe we can get mikey g up here at the same time get both of y'all knocked out how does he have to work tiller oh mikey yeah he just started a new job so he's kind of i can't take off yet well that's what i heard him saying that we told him to quit no we said just quit just quit the job it's not that important really yeah did you see this i

want to mention i was just scrolling through news things yesterday you know trying to catch up but apparently arkansas has been named the most popular place to move in 2024 god damn it yes stay out ah i hate that man we've been avoiding this for a long time, man. I was talking to Sean Danielson from Smile Empty Soul because he lives here, and he was talking about, you know, how he lived in California and the different places and how different it is. And it is.

Trust me, you. You don't know until you go somewhere else how different it is here. And, yeah, I don't want everybody to know. No, I mean, it's, you know, traffic's about as bad as I want it to be. So let's not make it like Atlanta. You know, if we did tell people we suck, tell them we're still in the 70s. Nobody has shoes. We're hillbillies.

We're toothless. I used to avoid that. Now I want people to think that. I don't even want them to find us on a map. Just don't come. I haven't even heard of Arkansas. That's where I wanted to go. Just quit talking about us altogether.

On the opposite side of that spectrum, though, apparently Louisiana is the state that most people are moving out of. They want out of there. It's underwater. Really? I mean, Jesus, how many times does your home have to flood before you go maybe i shouldn't live here i mean i don't mean that i mean how many times does your home have to blow away in a tornado before he decides well but mine hasn't every time mine has not yeah you know i'm saying if it

happened if it happened to me three times i'm done done. I'm gone. As a matter of fact, maybe two. But if a tornado hit my house three times in five years, I'll probably leave the country. You know? Yeah. What do you find? Anything else, Shane? It'll happen, but not today. Yeah, that's what I assumed it might not be. I don't know.

So he is currently working at Alexander Police Department. Okay. Yeah, yeah. And that's good you know from time to time they don't have one anymore right yeah so it's good that he's he's got they got that now right now there's some there's a lot of stuff just happened apparently from the news reports i don't know he we don't talk work yeah right because that's conflict of interest kind of thing we don't yeah but uh Channel 4, 16, somebody just reported.

He's a police, and Shane is one of both. I'm an outlaw. I mean, your brother's name is Outlaw, and you're a cop. Yeah, it's perfect. It makes perfect sense. I love it. Yeah, no, that's great. But, yeah, he's actually on his way to work.

Okay. Well, that's all right, man. Maybe we can get that set up. It will happen. We'll put that on the wheel of pain, and let's see if we can coordinate with put that on the wheel of pain and uh let's see if we can we can coordinate with him to be the will of pain guy where if i let him know on a monday he could be out on a friday would that be feasible probably so yeah okay he said i am 100 going to make that

happen so yeah i've got a few things on the wheel of pain uh paintball gun uh shock collar, a taser, the kendo stick over there, a gut punch from Nathan Kirby. You know who that is? No, but that just sucks. If you saw him, he's 6'5". He's ridiculously ripped. He's an MMA trainer, and he's also a stuntman and a movie guy. I've got a customer friend that does MMA training.

He's kind of a big dude. Yeah. If any of those fall through. Yeah, he'd be glad to come punch me. Yeah, no, I'm sure a lot of people would line up to come punch me, brother. There's no shortage of people who want to do that, I can promise you. The shot caller sucks. I'm sure it does.

Well, it's not the wheel of fun right it was an accident but when you're when you're doing so we had an underground fence and they've got these little testers that you put on the prongs and i had my hand on this one holding it was about to test this one and walked out yeah you caught yourself i i the weirdest thing i ever saw with that, we had chihuahuas at one point, a couple of them, and our boxer. And the boxer at this point, Rousey, was a puppy. She was pretty young. And the two chihuahuas, they yapped a lot. And so we were like, well, let's get little shot collars, you know, and try it out. So we were trying to put a shot collar on one of the chihuahuas, the boy one.

to put a shock collar on uh one of the chihuahuas the boy one and it accidentally went off and he thought that my boxer did it and bit the shit out of my other dog because he didn't know where else it could have come from but that right you know so i just bit my other dog and i was like oh no we can't do this to him man yeah he's like why did you do you know i'm like no we can't do this to them, man. Yeah, it's like, why did you do it? I'm like, no, we can't use these, man. So, yeah, I know they hurt. That's hilarious, yeah. But, yeah, that's going to be the will of pain, and we'll do it. Like I said, we'll spend it on Mondays, and then on Friday, whatever it is, we'll deal with.

All right, let's talk about something else then here. Let's talk a little bit about Christmas. I've got a couple things here that I think might be of interest to you. So let's talk about the Home Alone thing. They do this every year, but I thought this year it would actually be interesting to you, which is in the movie Home Alone. You may remember that Kevin McAllister goes grocery shopping and he bought an impressive haul for a little less than 20 bucks. Prices have gone up some since 1990. A lot recently, right? So new research calculates the cost of those same grocery items to see how much it would set you back today.

So again, his was $19.83. Today, the 10 things he bought after his dollar off coupon would be $57.54. I'm not surprised. That's almost triple since 1990, man. That's crazy, isn't it? Ridiculous. I mean, that is ridiculous. I see that, though.

I do all the grocery shopping because I do all the cooking. Yeah. I love it. That's just something I, yeah. Have you ever thought about going on one of those cooking contest shows like the Iron Chef? I've thought about it, but I'm not a. You're not a chef, chef. You just like to cook.

I love to cook, and I do have some chef skills. Yeah. And I think that I would be good at that, but it's the time limit thing. Right. I'd probably just. Kill you. Yeah. I'd be done.

No, I would be horrible at that i promise you i i would do there's no way i could do that yeah it would be fine i love to cook i mean non-stop we're always rodney's same way he's always cooking something yeah it uh what what's your signature thing to cook i don't really have just one thing i mean like i'll make something and then we'll live off of it for a month it's like oh that was badass yeah oh you're an institutional chef yeah i got you okay when the family gets tired of you move to something right yeah we cook these big giant casseroles okay well i just did a a back strap off of a deer and filleted open stuffed it with cream cheese and jalapenos wrapped it up do it in a smoker for a couple hours. Phenomenal. That does sound pretty good.

Phenomenal. That does sound pretty damn good, I'm going to be honest with you. It was wonderful. All right, let's see if you agree with this. We've all unwrapped a present that we probably didn't like before. Some better at hiding it than others. A new survey finds that more than half of Americans have needed to use resting gift face to mask their disappointment.

Uh, it was 2000 people looked into the practice of using resting gift face, uh, says over the last three years, the average person has received at least two gifts they did not like. So how can you tell if someone isn't happy with a gift besides them going, this sucks. Uh, avoiding eye contact is the biggest sign. Followed by showing a fake smile, changing a tone of voice, or talking too much about how great the gift looks. 56% of people conceal their true values. Gifts from family members were 34%, significant others 29%, and friends 28% most likely to get that reaction uh i got that reaction often from my wife actually i didn't i i just got the really you know back when i had a wood shop

because i did for seven years and i would custom build things really cool things but there wasn't anything i ever made that she liked no no i made made her two or three things, and she was like, I don't really like the homemade gifts. And I was like, I don't care. She's just not a rustic wood chick. You know what I mean? Some are and some aren't. You've got to understand it.

But it took me about three years to figure out that was not going to work no matter what I made. Do you do any type of uh thing like that what's your your secret man skill besides cooking i don't have one no i'm just an asshole he's that's a secret man skill that's a skill no that's great his other skill is that he's shaping the the youth of the future he's going to be teaching that is true yeah you are a baseball coach so that baseball coach there you go i actually got asked by the local school. I'm going in from 1 to 2.30 today to be a substitute teacher.

Oh, wow. Really? Not at all. That's not frightening. Not at all. Do we already have a problem in the school, Shane? I mean, no, that's great, man. It's about to get real.

That's great, man. I asked, I was like, do y'all have a curriculum that I've got to follow? And they're like, well, there'll be something they have to work on but you're free to do so it's funny y'all hit on slang words the other day i had already started i was like hey and i've got a list of slang words that people have thrown at me that uh some of them are inappropriate probably some of them are that didn't make the list but uh we're gonna i want to go in and i want to find out what the words are they're using as, you know – Do you think that you might read to them who will help Jack off the horse?

They are middle school kids, so – Oh, that's a little hard for them, isn't it? If I can pull the blinds and lock the door, yeah, we can get away with it. Nah, probably better not. Nobody goes back on that. You may not be invited back again, man. I still can't believe they called. That's my thing. Yeah, what's your secret man skill, man. I still can't believe they called. That's my thing.

Yeah. What's your secret man skill, man? What do you have? I probably don't have a man skill either, like Shane said. Bourbon. Yeah, he had two of them. Okay. I'm a bourbon collector.

Yeah? Yeah. You collect the actual bourbons? You collect the bottles, the gear? What do you collect? I just collect all the bourbons. I mean, I drink a little and then save a little. Okay. Okay. So what's your most prized one oh heck i don't know um i got i got a lot i mean i got some blantons i got some eh tailors i got some wellers so yeah i don't know that any are just

you don't have a special occasion bourbon that you're only going to break out for the right friends uh no i don't have i don't have those type of friends oh okay the bourbon's there but the friends aren't there so i understand but uh i mean i i don't get into you know it's just ones you can't find around here i'll get them and then yeah have a little one and save a little that's cool man i really go to when i really collect but i need to know hey man is this should i buy this it's 45 and like, yeah, 100%. So I'll hit him up. He's my go-to bourbon guy. So he can tell you whether that's a good investment.

Right, right. See, that is a skill. I make multiple trips to the store weekly. Yeah, I understand. You got to find that diamond in the rough, you know. Yeah, you got to do a lot of research. Yeah, it's like hookers. You got to do a lot of research before you find the right one.

Yeah. Amber Lewis says, getting thrown out of sporting events yes that's my wife my lovely bride she uh she's actually coaching youth so with that kind of she's coaching uh fifth grade basketball right now so they needed some coaches so she said yeah i'll do it my i got my stepson's 11 uh so she's coaching that, and she got it. And afterwards, I said, well, maybe I can help you. If you want me to help you coach, she's like, absolutely not. I'm like, what?

You can't keep your mouth shut long enough. Fair enough, but I can do just as much yelling from the bleachers. So now you put a challenge on me. That's funny. Yeah, parents get real serious about sports, man. Oh, my God. I mean, like, they think their kid is Nolan Ryan. I swear to God. I'm like, you know he's probably not going pro, right?

I just ride the umpires, you know, like, come on, man. And a lot of times I'm just jarring with them. Yeah. And some of them get upset. Well, yeah, they take their job. They take it seriously, don't they? I'm just kidding with you. What's up, Stevie Wonder?

That's kidding. Of course, if somebody came to my job and did that, I'd probably be upset, too. Would you? You'd call me out like that. Yeah. What's your day job again? I work for American Fire Protection Group in Maumau. I know where those guys are.

We do all fire protection stuff. Okay. It's really great. Yeah, that's interesting, man. So you come to a company and get them outfitted with what they need for fire protection stuff. Okay. All right. It's been really great. Yeah, that's interesting, man. So you come to a company and get them outfitted with what they need for fire protection and set them up for safety, right? That's the plan. Yeah, yeah.

What they do with it after we leave is a different story. Well, sure. That's as with anything, isn't it? Yeah, it's a pretty good career. I mean, I've been in it long enough now. That's cool, man. I guess I'll stick with it. No, I think that's great, man. That's awesome. Now, tell them again what what is your your day gig i work for graybar electric yeah so i'm an outside sales guy okay mainly focused on the low voltage side of the world which is your cameras

My wife's like, she'll just do this, and I know to give her the keys to the truck, and she'll just go sit in the truck. Hey, did we ever hear anything back from Gunner? Um, yeah, he said that he was, uh, he said he was driving, but he, he said he'll fix it in like 30 minutes. So I don't know if we'll be able to air it today. We'll get it on. You got time, man. I mean, it's only eight o'clock, so we got plenty of time. Uh, speaking of eight o'clock, uh, we better do this real quick, okay? You know what? As a real estate agent, I've seen lots of homes get caught up in probate. That's when somebody dies and they don't have a will.

no there's never such thing so you said you've been doing this for 20 years uh did you you get into the electrical or construction side of business as a you know a worker and then evolved to sales or have you always been in sales yeah i've always i've evolved into it um started out as a grunt just pulling wire yeah and then worked my way up you know started doing a lot more installs on you know access control fire alarms all that good stuff and uh i kept saying because i would get mad at salespeople that would sell something and then we would go to install it. And it's like, man, half of this shit ain't right.

Yeah. You can't be done this way. Right. Yeah. Salespeople are notorious for going, they'll figure it out. Yeah. And then someone was like, you know what? You go do it.

And I'm like, okay, because to me, I feel you should be able to, you should know how to work it if you're going to sell it kind of thing. Well, no, I mean, I, I think that's pretty factual for the most part. I mean, you better understand your product forward and backwards. Yeah, a majority of anyone in construction probably came up that way. Right. You rarely have one that jumps straight into selling something because you've got to know the product. Yeah, right, right, right.

Now, Adam here at Legion Scaff um he is the the designer of all the scaffolding and he started out uh building scaffolding right i mean he came up you know as a as a grunt you know just building scaffolding and went into you know the the lead and now he you know runs this company and uh i'll be honest with you i don't know anyone who's better at doing that than he is like nobody nobody is better than adam at it i love like being out doing things i'm a hands-on guy i like i like getting dirty i like working and you know manual labor but as you get older obviously you know desk job sitting around it's not terrible you know no you know having brief periods of rest is terrible you know no no you know having brief periods of rest is good you know then you get back out and go at it you do it in controlled

burst when you get older you know now yeah now i'll do okay i'm gonna do that two hours here in the office then i'll go out for an hour and kill it and then come back for two and yeah you know uh that's how you got to do it. Smoke a little spliff here and there, whatever. I mean, not me, but some people. Yeah, people get me up and they're like, hey, man, I need a TV hung or I need, you know, this. And I'll, hey, I got you and I'll go hang a TV and stuff like that. Yeah, okay, okay, all right. Go ahead. No, you go ahead, man.

No, you go ahead, man. Okay, I was going to tell you that today over at Stone's Throw Brewery, and trust me, you want to go over to Stone's Throw. They are amazing. They have some great beer. We're now doing, every week, we're doing a weekly beer sampling here. Nice. Yeah, during the show live, and that's a lot of fun.

We're going to need to get that moved to either like a Tuesday or a Thursday. Yeah, we're going to work that out because yesterday he came in, and I didn't think about that. Amanda, you know, is, is recovered. So she doesn't drink anything. And so, you know, and she's cool. I mean, she's fine. She didn't mind, but I was like, but that's one person not tasting the beer that I need tasting the beer, you know, so we'll shift it up. Yeah. But I do want to mention that volunteer. Yeah. The today, But I do want to mention that today Tap Room Trivia is at 6.30 p.m.

First, second, and third place win prizes. And listen, they've got like 14 beers on tap. On Monday, you go over there and get a $5 Crowler. That's a good deal. Any beer they got doesn't matter. They don't have one you can't get. You can take any of the 14 on tap, and for $5, get yourself a 32-ounce can of Brewski, and that's not a bad deal.

No. As a matter of fact, I may be buying those as Christmas presents. Right. You know, because it's a tough economy this year, right? So, yeah, check them out over at Stone's Store. You will not be disappointed when you go over there at all. All right, let's talk about something else here, do something just a little bit different somebody just reminded me i think i sent this to you yesterday and i don't know i don't know if it made it out of the blog yet or yesterday was a busy day yeah but um man there was some

naked dude in the middle of hot springs just oh you did run it around yeah yeah i don't know if it made it on the blog yet or not but that was did that happen yesterday that was yesterday morning at grand and central right in the center of downtown Hot Springs. That's why I didn't make the show yesterday. Yeah, no, that's great, man. My arrangement. I don't know anything that happened.

It was a video. But I saw the video you sent. It was in the middle of what looked like very busy traffic. And what was he doing out there? He was just, he was. Was he just sitting? Was he standing? Was he walking?

What's he doing? He was walking around. He was like stripping and throwing his clothes at cars and stuff. And then, I mean, he was buck naked, and the cops finally pulled up. This sounds very close to bath salty. Yeah. What do you do when you pull up? You're like, all right, how do we get this guy down?

I don't want to tackle a naked guy. No, no. Who wants to tackle the naked guy? That's one way to get out of a fight, just take your clothes off. Have you seen that? There was a guy that was doing that. He would go up and what's up dude you know he would bow up on him and they would like let's go and he would rip his pants off and they would run like yeah no i mean nobody wants to fight the naked guy is the crazy guy oh it is it's gotta be yeah no no doubt about it so

yeah i would assume he was on uh some kind of drug uh because most of the time those guys get real hot all of a sudden. Their body overheats, so they start stripping their clothes off. Yeah, I'm showing them. Yeah, he is butt naked right in the middle of downtown. Yeah, he don't look like he knows where he is. He looks like he's. That's crazy.

That is funny. There's got to get that guy on the show. Yeah. Yeah, I know. If anybody knows him and can get him on this show, clothes or not, I don't care. I'll put his ass naked right here. I don't give a damn.

Let's put some visqueen down on the chair. I want to know this guy. I want to talk to this guy. I want to know what his life's about. Now, it looks like the police pulled up, so he may be in Clink City right now. You know, somebody knows him, and tell him I want to talk. He's a head up your ass headline, a living head up your ass headline. Right. So I need him to.

Yeah, I need him to come in here and tell me about this day because it had to start with at least one bad decision. I promise you. I want to see how many phones are. Come here now. Like he's pointing out. Yeah. Yeah. No.

Let her out right now. Oh, no. Everybody. I guarantee you there are 400,000 videos out of eight cars tick tock right yeah no they're they're all every format you could find went live you know uh see that's one of those things where now i think about that when i'm driving if i see something where there's a bunch of uh sirens and a bunch of cops pulled up i'll get my phone out get the video ready just in case you know because i don't know you never know where's the naked guy well you know what i'm saying i mean you know if i see that i'm definitely recording it you can bet on that man to everyone did y'all hear about the uh

guy that was high on meth and fought off like 15 oh yeah watch that video the one that fought off 15 cops while he was masturbating well i know that was mikey g's video okay yeah yeah not the masturbation one-handed people no we know that's what we were talking about yesterday this guy it took 15 cops take him down he wouldn't stop they kept trying to stop him and he was he was adamant he was going to continue to do it oh and so they're they're trying to whoop his ass and get him down and he's steadily loping the mule. You know, like he was so committed he's like, you don't understand how hard I work for this.

I'm too close to stop. It's like when you go to grandma's house and the dog jumps up and humps your leg. Just let him finish. He'll be done in a minute. Yeah, that's right. They hit him with a taser and it didn't stop him. You know, I mean, that's committed. It's like, no, I'm getting this one. I don't know what happened if he woke up in a body that all of a sudden worked when it didn't before and he was

like no i'm doing it with the world yeah no i finally got one i'm gonna use it it's like when you first discover your shit down there you know and you just keep yeah yeah yeah yeah you don't want to let go for some reason trying to help jack off the horse yeah that's right that's right he was trying to help jack off that horse that's right that's right. That's right. He was trying to help Jack off that horse. That's right. That's right. All right. Let's read another book, I guess.

He hadn't said XFL Jim is ready yet, has he? No, no. He said he was driving. So, like I said, I know for sure that it'll get on the blog. Gunner said he was driving. He's going to try and fix it in 30. Okay, great. Great.

Well, let's do this then. We're going to read Susiezy likes to look at balls and uh this is another fine uh story that you can record right now and save for your kids uh maybe even for later in the day uh here we go suzy likes to look at balls and if you play a sport chances are before too long she'll take a look at yours. This book she wrote for you and me just to clue us in on all the balls that Susie's seen and where those balls have been. Oh, that's great. And it does say there are 34 reach-arounds hidden in this story. Could you find them all?

I want to find the reach-arounds, don't you? Tiger's balls are small and white, just like Michael Jackson's. These two guys are socialites. They both see lots of action. Oh, that's great. It's Tiger and Michael. That's beautiful. Tiger puts his balls in holes and keeps them out of the sand,

while Michael proudly shows his balls to boys at Neverland. Yeah, that's beautiful. Bruce Jenner ran decathlons. He took Olympic gold. But today, I'm sad to say, he has no balls to hold. I don't know just what went down. He must have lost a bet. Bruce's balls are Caitlin's now.

I'm sure he has regrets. Pam has soft and bouncy balls, the kind that must be seen. Hugh Hefner knows how all that goes. They're in his magazine. Hugh Hefner's balls were big and bold, the finest balls around. Then one day Hugh got old. Now his balls dragged the ground. Serena brings some lovely balls to the tennis scene.

She has fuzzy little yellow balls, yellowish and green. I think these balls might just be what makes her such a threat. The other girls out on the court haven't got a set. Serena tries to keep them hidden because if they're verified from the women's tennis league, she'll be disqualified. Susie went with Magic Johnson out for some seafood. When she looked at Magic's balls, she really lost the mood. Magic, where's your protection? I think it's too late. Your balls are going to spread infection. It's time to end this date.

Your balls are going to spread infection. It's time to end this date. David Beckham thinks his balls look nice, and it seems the world agrees. He showed his balls once to Posh Spice. The rest is history. Ernie is not at all impressed by what David Beckham's got. He thinks that Spice girl looks depressed since having tied the knot. Ernie's rented shoes and his wrist brace made David laugh out loud,

but the eyes lit up on Posh's face when Ernie pulled his ball sack out. Ernie's balls were beautiful, big, hard, and round when he slid his fingers in. Posh made a funny sound. Ernie rolled those big old balls for a split and then a strike. Now David knows it's Ernie who's got the stuff that ladies like.

Yeah, that's nice, man. That's lovely, isn't it? That's a great Christmas gift. Susie likes to look at balls. I don't know if the book is better or you reading it is better, man. But that is just, that's a prize. Well, I'm glad you enjoyed that. I think you need to do that on Cameo or something.

I should do that on videos of that. We've got multiple more books. I've probably got 15 books. Y'all should bring them up here. Maybe we do this every once in a while and do a segment and have me read these books for you. They're all great. It's great because, like I said, if you're just listening. Oh, it sounds very offensive, doesn't it?

But, like, you know, one of them was talking about putting his fingers in the hole. It was talking about a bowling ball. Well, yeah. No, clearly, you know, he's he's getting strikes yeah i mean yeah i don't know the play on words and that one right there is the one that really hit home because it used everyday people that no it was right it's very well done they're funny you know illustration's great too yeah amanda says that she wishes they had those books out when hers was a little one right oh it would have been great to read to your kids yeah because they're not going to know any different you know now once a boy gets probably about five or six you start saying balls it's over they're probably going to get laughs out of that at least by i promise by the time they're 10

you know yeah i mean you all of a sudden you know what balls are then it's great man you hear we we've had multiple people read them, and everybody's different the way they read. So, I mean, that just, like he was saying, it brings the comic out of it. It really brings it to life. Yeah, no, it's fun to do. It's fun to do. Let's see what the people are saying.

Kay Bird said good morning. What's up, man? Joey said good morning. He said finally got a deer hunter on here. Yay! Yeah, Joey's a big deer hunter. Crystal said good morning.ey said good morning he uh said finally got a deer hunter on here yeah joey's a big deer hunter uh crystal said good morning mike said good morning what's up uh mike how you doing man uh what's up turner what's up wendy where you at now wendy uh where'd she say she's at is she on the road right now she's on the road i know she's in tupelo she's in tupelo wendy's our

uh truck driver she comes in every once in a while and gives us a little update on what's going on over the country as she drives through. And that's pretty cool. Yeah, she has some great stories. I think everybody's got a truck driver. We've got one. Yeah, sure. It was funny. So one of those stickers here has got a QR code on it.

Yeah. And the QR code takes you. Well, we travel, and I'll go put these QR codes in bathrooms. And this guy was like, man, I was taking a nice big poop one day and seeing this sticker and scanned it, and here I am. Jay said, shout out to AFPG. Rodney's a good dude. There you go.

Who ever said that? Who was that? Jay Sorsby. Oh, okay, good. You know him over at Hums? Yeah, good. Yeah, yeah. Also, he's got a podcast.

Cool rider oh yeah cool people over there they are good folks man if you want equipment they're a good place to go yeah if you need to what get high oh i could get a lift yeah yeah yeah i know what you mean yeah i knew what you meant yeah like the scaffold guys here yeah yeah yeah no exactly yeah they get high all the time don't they yeah throw a shout out good morning to alex johnson he said good morning uh uh saw robbie is in here robbie shirley he's you know co-owner of tnr wrestling oh yeah yeah how you doing what's up robbie um yeah just a lot of you know good morning everybody thank you for joining us there was a new one new name i saw here where was he uh Laquetta Dyer says good morning, guys. Oh, Lupita?

I guess. Is that it? Lupita Dyer? A buyer or Dyer? Dyer. Oh, okay. That's different, different, different. Say it again then.

I'm going to say Laquetta. Laquetta. Laquetta. Yeah, Laquetta Dyer. Yeah, that's actually my aunt, but she follows us. Okay. Well, what's up, Laquetta? Welcome to the show. I don't like to admit that to many people.

No, I understand i i get it completely families like mine you know gunner just message said that uh xfl jim's ready to go well do we do we believe this or not i don't know but uh i hope so let's let's try this because i swear to god man when i tell you insane hold on let, let's try. Hello there. XFL Jim here for the weekly roundup We have a great episode for you today I'm going to talk college football, NFL A little bit of Japanese football It's going to get real hot, real sensual

So stay tuned Shout out Patrick and the people, baby I of course must begin with college football it is bowl season but before we talk about the bowls we have to talk army navy navy won at 31 13 they look like the better team Bryson Daly a Heisman finalist he was in the top 10 of voting was pedestrian in this game navy just just looked, they dominated the entire time from wire to wire. It wasn't even close. Army really just didn't have a chance. So for now, Navy are the superior troops. We are a naval country until further notice. That's just how it is. Also, we had our first bowl game. South Alabama 30, Western Michigan 23.

It was a game. I don't know if I'd call it a great game, but it was a game. Congratulations, South Alabama, for getting the win. Other bowl games coming up. We have Memphis, West Virginia, Western Kentucky, James Madison, Cal, UNLV. I'm excited for these games. If I have, if I'm going to give you the winners, I'm just going to, I'm going to reach into my mind

and pick the winners going in. I'm going to go Memphis over West Virginia, Western Kentucky, JMU. I'm going to go Western Kentucky. I'm going to go James Madison. I'm going to go James Madison. And Cal UNLV, I'm going to go Western Kentucky. I'm going to go James Madison. I'm going to go James Madison. And Cal UNLV, I'm going to go Cal. I have to.

UNLV losing Barry Odom is just too much, which brings me in to my segue. I'm so good at this. Let's talk a little bit of coaches. There's some coaching carousel movement. I would normally talk transfer portal and who's going where, but it's crazy. There's like over 2,000-some kids in the transfer portal. What's up with that? Who can keep up with that?

So we're going to talk coaches. We got Rich Rod going from Jacksonville State back to West Virginia. I think it's a great hire. I think it'll work fantastically. He has succeeded wherever he has gone. He will do well back at West Virginia. Marshall, out of a bowl. Their head coach wins the Sun Belt, still gets fired, goes to Southern Miss, and now

a majority of the team has left to basically follow the man, and Marshall can no longer field a team for the bowl game to play Army. Shout out to Louisiana Tech for taking their place there, but it's just yeesh. Bill Belichick to UNC. Massive. Huge. Will it work? Who knows? I sure don't. It could be the worst hire ever, but I think it could also have the potential to be a fantastic hire. It depends what we see. There's a lot of, I mean, just like any college football hire, you never know. I mean, just like any college football hire, you never know. You really don't.

Barry Odom, can he recover Purdue? Can he make Purdue as good, if not better, than the Braum era? That's the question that we need answered from Barry Odom. I love him as a coach. I think he's a fantastic coach. Great hire from Purdue. Again, don't know if it'll work out. Scott Frost, back at UCF.

Getting the band back together. I hope it works out. I'm a little skeptical here. Hopefully he learns some things from his time in Nebraska. He needs it. It's a match made in heaven. We saw already. Bronco Mendenhall to Utah State from New Mexico. I think this is a fantastic hire. I love Bronco

at Virginia, a.k.a. Rocky Dick and Balls. I think it's going to be a good fit at Utah State for him. He did really, really well at BYU, so I trust him. And then Dan Mullen to UNLV. Love it. Fantastic hire.

He's been in broadcasting for a little bit now, but he's a good coach. We know he's a good coach. We know that he could do more with less. I think that'll be very imperative at a school like UNLV. Love that. What's your favorite coaching hire, huh? Why don't you let me know? Why don't you let a boy know what your favorite coaching hire is so far in the college football season, huh? Now, of course, I'm not going to leave you college football gambling-less. This is a betting community. We are a society of degenerates, so we have betting lines. Here are the upcoming—I'll satiate you in the meantime.

Here are the bowl games coming up between now and next week's show. We have Georgia Southern versus Sam Houston in the R&L Carriers Bowl. Georgia Southern is a five-and-a-half-point favorite, and I'm taking Georgia Southern here over Sam Houston. Give me&L Carriers Bowl. Georgia Southern is a five-and-a-half point favorite, and I'm taking Georgia Southern here over Sam Houston. Give me Clay Helton, baby. Basically, I mean, maybe he's fighting for his job later. The Staff DNA Cure Bowl, we have Ohio versus Jacksonville State. The Bobcats are three-point favorites here.

Both are missing their head coaches. They're losing a lot. I'm going to go with JVL State, though. I have a method for gambling on college football bowl games, and it is fade the Mac. The Union Home Mortgage Gasparilla Bowl, Tulane versus Florida. Florida is a 14-point favorite here. We're going with the Gators.

Let's just keep it simple. Tulane, disappointing end of the season. Florida, kind of like climbing at the end of the season. They want to go in to next year with some momentum, take the Gators here. For the playoffs, we have Indiana, Notre Dame. Notre Dame is a seven and a half point favorite. I'm rolling with Indiana. I don't know if they win, but I think they have the very easy potential to keep this one super close. I'm so excited for Indiana, Notre Dame. Easy potential to keep this one super close. I'm so excited for Indiana, Notre Dame.

SMU, Penn State. Penn State, 8.5 point favorite. Again, this is a pressure situation. What do we know about James Franklin? He cannot thrive under pressure. He's the opposite of a diamond. Give me SMU to keep it close here. Clemson, Texas.

Texas, a 12 point favorite. Clemson maybe could keep it close, but the only way they do that is by turning Quinn Ewers over. Distinct possibility, but I think Texas has a much more likely opportunity to roll here. Clemson has crumbled under pressure a lot when they face these really good teams. I think Texas can dominate. Tennessee, Ohio State. Ohio State a 7-point favorite.

And by well they should be. Tennessee super banged up. Def, Ohio State. Ohio State, a seven-point favorite. And by well, they should be. Tennessee, super banged up. Defensive lines for both teams, great. But I like Ohio State. And at 100%, Ohio State's still one of the most dangerous teams in the country. The Myrtle Beach Bowl. We have Coastal Carolina versus UTSA. UTSA is a nine-point favorite.

I'm rolling with Coastal. This is basically a home game for them. Tim Beck getting it done. The famous Idaho Potato Bowl. Fresno, NIU. NIU is a three-point favorite. I'm rolling with Coastal. This is basically a home game for them. Tim Beck getting it done. The famous Idaho Potato Bowl. Fresno NIU. NIU is a three-point favorite here. Give me the Bulldogs. Give me Fresno State. I'm doing it. I'm once again fading the Mac. And then the Hawaii Bowl. South Florida versus San Jose State. San Jose is a six-point favorite, and I'm rolling with the Buffaloes of South Florida. I'm XFL Jim. This is gambling. So remember, there's always a shot. Have you gotten to IHOP and just thought that was too damn classy? Well, welcome to Perkins, bitch. Because where we get our food is a secret even our chefs don't know. Perkins is the kind of restaurant where there might be

something on the floor next to you, but so what? It's three in the morning, you're drunk, you just want some food. That's right, it's Perkins. We got tomato glaze, we got mango fish tacos, we got shrimp two ways, and neither of them are good. Come to Perkins. We move on to the National Football League. Week 15 is in the books, and I will give you the briefest of brief rundowns. But don't worry. We're going to do this one a little bit centrally. We had the Rams over the 49ers on Thursday night, 12-6. It was a terrible game, but the Rams turned out to be a dangerous team.

A dangerous team, indeed. They can win in multiple ways, folks. Multiple ways. Chiefs 21, Browns 9. Jameis, getting pulled for DTR is not what you want to see out of this fine, young, outstanding gentleman. Patrick Mahomes is the story of this one, though. Is he hurt? For how long? We will have to wait and see. Browns just could not get out of their own way.

I've seen that before. Bengals... The Bengals are still technically alive. Joe Burrow, as sexy as he ever is, just keeping this team going week by week. Commanders 20, Saints 19. Jake Hayner starting this game for the Saints made little to no sense. But, but friends, Spencer Rattler made it a game. The Commanders looked rough for a section of this one, but they still got it done. Ravens 35, Giants 14. Man, the things Lamar Jackson can do with a football will make even a grown man blush.

will make even a grown man blush. It's so wonderful being able to see this man, this human football, just sex machine, what he can do. I feel privileged being able to watch him. Cowboys 30, Panthers 14. Cooper Rush looked pretty good. The Panthers' offensive line is something of a mystery.

It's non-existent, perhaps. Bryce Young came back down to earth a little bit. Both these teams stink. Jets 32, Jags 25. Speaking of teams that both stink, Devontae Adams came alive here in the latter stages of the game. Aaron Rodgers has been looking better these past couple weeks, giving Jets fans some semblance of hope. Texans 20, Dolphins 12. Tua. Tua, Tua, Tua. Some of the worst picks I've

ever seen. This offensive game plan was terrible, and it's the Dolphins against a team over 500. The Texans didn't even look that good. Their defense was all right, but the offense for the Texans was just... It was something of an enigma. Eagles 27, Steelers 13. The Eagles have solidly cemented themselves at the top of the NFC. Not trailing too far are the Vikings and, of course, the Lions. But the Eagles sit on top. That defense is pure bliss.

Jalen Hurts airing it out to A.J. Brown, Devontae Smith shutting the haters down. The Steelers, well, they did not prove the doubters wrong this week, did they? They never win in Philadelphia, so it's fine. Bucks 40, Chargers 17. Baker Mayfield. My word, man. What a game from him. The Chargers, ugh. No running game whatsoever, and they just looked flat-out sloppy. What can we say about Mike Evans that hasn't been said every single year so far. Broncos 31, Colts 13. The Broncos, look at them, huh? Who would have thought? Who would have thought that this Broncos team, huh? And the Colts, Anthony Richardson, not the guy. Bills 48, Lions 42. Shootout of shootouts. The Bills are just oh so fun to watch. Josh Allen. Many people

are saying running away with the MVP quite literally so to speak and the Lions as good as this offense is it's hard to have full faith in them the way the defense is playing at the moment. It's just they need a fluffer. They really do. I've had one before. It really does help. Cardinals 30, Patriots 17. The Patriots tank-a-thon continues. The Cardinals still alive. Still alive. Packers 30, Seahawks 13. There was no fuck shit. There was no fuck shit. Geno was probably just done. And the Packers were legit.

Pretty standard, if you ask me. Bears 12, Vikings 30. Speaking of standard, the Bears suck. The Vikings, though, quietly still alive for potentially even the one season in the NFC, huh? And that's Sam Donald. Boy, is he a looker. Falcons 15, Raiders 9. You didn't watch this game. Nobody should have watched this game.

And that's okay. Because this game sucked so hard. Now that brings me to my Week 16 picks for the upcoming week of NFL election. I'm going to give it to you right now. I'm going to give give it to you straight I'm taking the Steelers plus six and a half versus the Ravens the Steelers bounce back spot Tomlin after a loss as a dog again in the division against the Ravens give me the Steelers here plus the six and a half I don't know I I would burn my money for this Browns Bengals over 49 yep I'm just it's a system play at this. Browns-Bengals over 49. Yep.

I'm just, it's a system play at this point. I'm taking the Bengals in overs. I'm just, I'm doing it. Their defense is trash. So trash. Commanders plus four and a half versus the Eagles. This is basically for the division. I believe the pressure is there.

Yes, the Eagles will probably dominate them. But if there's ever a game right now, this is the one. Other games to watch out for, Rams-Jets. Rams-Jets. That game's going to be messy. Aaron Rodgers has been playing better. The Rams have a lot of, like, they're looking good too. This game is going to be fun. Those are my games for this week. Watch out for that one, huh? Of course, I also have to briefly mention our friends over in Japan. The X League had their semifinals for the Rice Bowl tournament this weekend. We had OBIC losing to the Panasonic Impulse 5-24. It started out slow and kept being slow. OBIC gets a safety.

They get a field goal and then a bunch of missed field goals in the first half and then after halftime, Panasonic comes running in and just is a man on fire. They looked so good. Then we had Sekisu versus Fujitsu. The frontiers of Fujitsu won this one 52 to 21.

It's just classic Fujitsu domination. We see this time in, time out. Once again, we get Fujitsu versus Panasonic for the Rice Bowl, and it's hard not to take Fujitsu in this one. Just in Japan, there's really only three teams, maybe a fourth, but give me Fujitsu honestly all day. I'll be rooting for Panasonic. I got a player on that team that I'm really a big fan of, but I'm going to roll Fujitsu with the official pick. And folks, that'll do it today on the Weekly Roundup with XFL Gym. I hope you've enjoyed yourselves. If you like me, you can find me everywhere at XFL Gym. Twitter, Instagram, X, the everything app, Reddit, Twitch, YouTube.

And I wanted to invite you all to, I know we talked about it earlier in the day. Sorry if I mentioned it again. No, yeah. This weekend at Hard Riders Saturday, TNR Wrestling, they're one of the promotions that are teaming up with us for the Arken Brawl. They're going to have their event this Saturday

First bells at seven doors open at six i'll be there as the ring announcer yeah you know voice the bruce buffer of arkansas that's what it is the bruce buffer of arkansas so you get out and see him at hard riders man it's going to be awesome the wrestling's cool man we did a the what do they call it the extreme dwarfenators but okay yeah the midget wrestling and hot springs and it was on a second yeah i said the short people word yeah no no that's what they say they they define it i even asked one of them and i was like hey i feel bad saying the m word and he was like

no dude say it because that's what we are you know yeah no they they're very they they love doing what they do it's only the uh the camp culture yeah yeah you're literally trying to put people out of work that's the best work they got they're making a ton of money doing it people have around it but because you don't like it right you won't want them to not make money my 11 years old you just go home and sit there and be homeless man stand out here at 6 30 and get pissed at them for yeah asking for handouts right yeah because you shut them down makes sense doesn't it that was that what was that called summer sausage would you yeah yeah it's uh just a smoked summer sausage i make out of uh venison or deer meat it was phenomenal actually it really is delicious to be honest

it's fantastic i could uh actually no i don't i'm not gonna say that i like sharing it with people because yeah you know yeah people sell that and make good money off of it but there's a process you got to go through in order to sell yeah it's very very uh a serious process yeah very serious process but no i appreciate it i like i like sharing it with people i like you know yeah i know it's smile on your face you know it did that uh let's talk about this first thing because you know i think that uh in in the past few years uh people have felt like that the shop lifting uh has increased across the the nation you know now some people have said oh no it's it's really not that bad it's just know, they're inflating it.

They're making this up. They're making it more than it is. Well, here's the official from the New York Post. The average number of shoplifting incidents in the nation in 2023 jumped 93%. Compared with pre-pandemic times and monetary losses for retailers, they've risen 90%. That's the largest retail trade group in the nation with its impact of retail theft study of 2024. 94%.

So, yeah, I would say that that pretty much says it is out there happening. How much of that, though, to you know the the tax you take at the self-checkout a lot of it why do you think why do you think walmart's unwrung that bell right right i mean they they were they were all in pushing that all in and now they're they're going away from it because too many people were like oh yeah right yeah i can do this yeah i mean you're not giving me an employee discount for ringing myself up. No, and some people took their own discount. Right. No, they did.

Now, what's Walmart doing, though? Check this out. They're rolling out employee body cams to help combat the scourge of shoplifting and customer behavior. Employees have been seen wearing a yellow and black body cam in a store outside Dallas. Walmart says it's a trial being used. It's a pilot that we're testing, and we're going to evaluate the results. But just think about that. That's how out-of-control shit's got.

They're wanting to put body cams on Walmart personnel. I mean, damn. It's ridiculous. But what are you going to do, record them running out the door? Right. Well, I don't know. They won't stop them. And I made a joke one day. And damn, it's ridiculous. But what are you going to do? Record them running out the door? Right. Well, I don't know. They won't stop them.

And I made a joke one day. I was leaving Walmart, and there was a guy in front of me, and he had a TV, and I watched him pay for it. No big deal. But as he goes through the doorway, the alarms start going off, and I immediately was like, run! And I said that really loud. That's hilarious. And several people laughed and then i

looked at the what i learned to be an undercover officer right there yeah and he was like yeah nobody would have chased him he would have because he's a cop yeah it's like an employee he was like no because they get fired they get fired for it yeah and i i guess that's because if if they get hurt the walmart or whomever would be liable for it, so they don't want you doing that. I'm not chasing anybody over things like that if I work for the store. Right, no. Now, maybe even if I own the store, I'm not dying over $20 in product or whatever.

There's no way. I'm not running after anything, so if I'm running, you should probably start. Well, that's what I always said. That's how bad. When I was in the military, I hated running so damn much, man. It's the worst. And if Jason Voorhees were chasing me, you know, I got about a mile. And then it's over.

If he can make it past a mile, I'm a dead mofo because I'm going to stop and go, just kill me and get it over with. The whole time I'm running, I'm trying to work out a deal. Like, quit running and I'll give you something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Come on, man. Can I just smoke this spliff before you kill me? Do you mind?

Marketing idea, though, for Walmart. What's that? They should just do live streams to all the body cams so you can just see all the crazy stuff. Now, that would be a bona fide. You'd think the ring doorbell. I mean, that's what I'm saying. Like, remember the old people of Walmart.com pictures? Oh, yeah.

Yeah. That's what I was about to say. And that's legit. And you do see, I swear to God, most of those pictures probably are taken here. Right. Because you can go into any Walmart here and see that shit every single day. It's insane. People in their jammies.

All day long. People with their ass hanging out. You know, people in clothes that you can see through, people in very ill-fitting clothing. That's their mindset, too. There was an interview with, like, the Dollar General that was going in, and this lady was talking, this man was interviewing the lady, and she was like, what do you think about the Dollar General?

And she was like, oh, I'm so glad because I don't have to dress up to go there like I do when I go to Walmart. Wow. There you go. I got to get dressed up to go to town right damn i gotta get my moo moo off and i'm gonna have to get on some good sweatpants and a leonard skinner shirt you know i don't think anybody looks in the mirror before they walk out of the house to go to walmart no no very you know you're supposed to be i think people somehow consider it a safe zone like a

safe space for no judge yeah yeah like the gym is supposed to be they just walk in and whatever the hell they wake up and just go you know and you look at him you go really little little do they know we're judging them the entire time absolutely judging yeah no people watch crystal ann said she works at walmart yeah on yeah yeah d are you wearing a body cam can we get access to it live feed? Yeah, I definitely want to do that. We can set something up. Apparently there was an earthquake in Louisiana today, I just found out. Well, shocking.

It's a state that's underwater. We were just talking about it a minute ago. Yeah, I mean, look, if you still live in Louisiana, why? Exactly. Don't come to Arkansas, though. It's horrible. No, no, no. Definitely go to Mississippi.

It's the buddy better there. Right. You ever been to the Starkville to the stadium there? I've been through there. I've never been to a game. Oh, man. It's the worst. Is it?

No, man. The worst thing, man, you go downstairs to the bathroom, and it's just one. It's like a river, a trough that runs through it. People are standing on both sides. And I'm like, come on, man. Now I got to worry you're going to pee on my shoes and I have to look at your junk too. That's ridiculous, man.

Yeah, it's like I can't even pee here. What are you doing? Come on. We're talking about shoplifting. So this is interesting because this is not here in Poland, but in Poland the government now made firearms training a mandatory part of primary school education. So elementary kids are learning to handle rifles and pistols under the supervision of trained professionals. Now, they don't use live ammo. They use ball guns, air guns,

small arm replicas, and laser-based shooting systems where a green light is a successful hit. So there's no actual risk of anyone being harmed because of the way they're doing it. And the students seem to like it a lot, but they just, they feel like that that's what they need to do to you know prepare their people for any eventuality but i think about in context of today that if there were more uh there used to be schools that had gun education and i mean you could do things like that i think more of that would prevent more of the things that happen that are the negatives power by numbers well i'm just saying that, you know, when people learn from a young age to respect and use a weapon,

they view it differently later. And so, you know, when that crazy teenage hormone kicks in and, you know, you may think about it different than just grabbing it and going to use it on somebody, you know. Now, when it comes to gun ownership uh here we're pretty passionate about it as you can imagine um they did a survey it's um the uh guys and gun survey basically is is what they call it they uh pulled a bunch of guys so there are two reasons according to this guy's own guns hunting and protection uh that's pretty fair i mean is there another reason to own one

no no some people do it just for you know fun for sports right yeah okay collectors okay i guess so that's fine now of men who say they first fired a gun before they were 18 57 say they now own one for protection 35 now own one for hunting so you know both categories yeah of men who say they first fired a gun between the age of 18 and 24 the protection number goes to 79 percent the hunting number drops to 15 that makes sense though because hunting is a culture right you know and if you didn't like i didn't grow up in a hunting home i i respect the hell out of hunters i appreciate what they do number one for the environment uh number two i appreciate the sport of it they bring you sausage i do appreciate the the benefits probably word that differently but okay but hunting is yeah that's right pause pause

flag the tape flag the tape hunting uh wasn't't my culture, so I don't do it. Besides, I don't want to be in the cold. So, you know, that's a problem for me. But I think people in that culture, way in high proportions, respect guns way more than those who don't. Yep. But just because they spend so much time and learn so much about it, you just revere it in a different manner, you know?

Correct. Yeah, there's a lot that's changed on it because coming up in high school, you drive to school, they would have the racks in the back of their truck. Oh, no. With them in there. When I graduated high school, I promise you there were trucks parked in the parking lot at bryant high school with a rifle across the back glass and they all the windows were down and the doors were online yeah and you know and you know what you know what didn't happen nobody shot anything right yeah it just changed so much it has uh i've talked about it before i think you know at one point i felt like my dad had a gun

in damn near every room yep um a handgun he had a rifle case he had all these different things and look we we were like any other boys we got into all kinds of shit okay we lit up on fire we did this we did that the one thing we never ever ever did is touch those uh because we knew that my dad would beat the hell out of us if we did correct bar none right you know and it was the one thing that we were taught do not do it right you know and we knew that was the line so yeah I think that when you're exposed to that culture and you're around that and even though I didn't hunt we went skeet shooting we did recreational shooting from the time i was super young you know and then i was in the military and and learned more about it uh they are a different kind of

weapon but still something i had said is if you take the curiosity out of it yeah it's not so interesting right well yeah i mean it's like right now you know i think everybody's tripping and not everybody but a lot of people are tripping about weed because like oh my god so many people are using now but listen uh the mystique's gone okay there's no more enigma there's no more riddle it's no more rebellious to smoke weed right so over the next few years i actually might see those numbers go down if i'm being honest with you i wouldn't be shocked at all if they went down some because half of the fun was just trying to do it. Right. Trying to find some weed, trying to find a dealer, trying to get the dealer to be home.

That's so easy. Yeah, trying to get $35. Pay phone, pay your buddy. Right. Yeah, yeah, that's right. Wait on him to come up. He's just there waiting at the pay phone for 30 minutes. Somebody comes up to use it.

No, no, no, no, I'm waiting on a phone call. Yeah, yeah. I just saw a deal with Snoop, and he was talking about, he said, you can put 40 people in a room and half of them hate each other. And y'all are passing some blunts around. He said, they're taking selfies and shit. He goes, but if you put four motherfuckers in a room that hate each other and a bottle of whiskey, he goes, someone's getting their ass kicked.

That's definitely true. Yeah. You introduce whiskey to almost any violent situation it's going to escalate that's certainly true there's just i mean i i i was a i was a connoisseur you know growing up that's pretty much all i did i was doing that everybody else was drinking yeah and i just i don't know that's just what i went to but yeah i mean there's nothing wrong with it i'm getting in a car and driving home with you smoking before i do somebody's been drinking oh i know absolutely look i'm not saying you should do any of these things but however having said that the worst sin normally when you're smoking that you commit when you're driving is you look down and you go oh shit i'm doing 50 doing 50. Right. You know, and it's, I'm on the freeway. Yeah. People are like,

that's me behind you. Yeah. I did something this morning and man, I hope this guy isn't a listener cause he's going to know I did it. You threw out a box of nails on the ground. Yeah, I sure did. No, but I, you know, when I'm driving in the morning, the traffic's not too bad you know but

there is a little bit and uh sometimes you can see the people coming up in the left lane behind you now i'm going to tell you that i don't observe exactly the suggested limits all the time right right you know i may or may not average 80 right um and so i'm past me like you were in a batmobile last week man i was driving down the highway doing 70 like two miles away i got things to do man i got out of the way and so i you know i'm rolling at 80 plus and uh this guy i can see him from half a mile back he's coming and there's a lot i can't get over really uh but i see him and i know what he's going to do. He's going to come up and bury his headlights in my ass, you know.

And that's what he did. So I just slowed down. I love it. I wedged him in all the traffic. And it's a game, though. Oh, no, it was a bad game. He caught me about southwest. I had to come here.

And I kept him hemmed up almost the whole time by the time he finally got an opening he nearly peeled out at 60 miles an hour to go around me i was like i don't know what speed he was like a rocket wow but i could just feel the anger off of that dude it was like yeah bitch it wasn't a wave great tundra was it i don't know we're not we're gonna not gonna disclose what it was yeah no but uh normally i you know i'm the guy i'll get over for you but if you just run up on me same way no i mean i because i'm not gonna do look even if i'm going real fast i'll i'll come back a couple carlings from you you'll know right you'll know that i want to come past you come on you'll eventually pull over or i'll go around you know but i'm not gonna get number one i'm not

trying to have an accident right you know and i learned early on after i totaled about three cars in two years uh from 16 to 18 that you probably don't want to follow too close right yeah i know i had a great check i had a yeah i had a yellow uh lead sled it was a 76 grand prix hell yeah four-door lead sled man this thing was you know probably a billion pounds like 38 feet long you know it looked like a a flat rv basically but i and i the reason i got it i was such a dumbass uh historically if i look back i had a chevelle okay that's what i was driving a chevelle right okay at a 71 chevelle malibu that's 350 not the not the uh the big time ss but it was a bad mother you know what i mean right but it wasn't cool at that point to me and so i was like i want

something with power windows dad you know i want something modern man and he had a car lot and he goes well what do you want I said I want that big yellow car he said okay yeah and and and he took my Chevelle and and I but it wasn't a week after maybe two weeks after getting that car that had the good stereo in it I had picked up my buddy and I was like I checked the stereo out and I was reaching down turn the the truck in front of me, slam their brakes on him. Man, I hit him. I hit him so hard that the bed hit the cabin, dented it.

Holy crap. Yeah. And they got out like this. Oh, and I was like, oh shit. My neck. Yeah. And they got a check too, bro. They got one.

They definitely got one. Did you get the Chevelle back? No, no, I didn't get the chevelle back no no i didn't get the chevelle back no the next thing i had was a uh a caprice classic landau which is a half vinyl top it was a four door i got the motor chromed out in it i put some rims on it i i had a 17 dice hanging from the the ceiling because i thought that was cool for some reason. Of course, the front ones had the Playboy bunny on them because they had to. Of course. They had to.

You know, and that was the way to go. I totaled that one, too. I see a trend. Yeah, no, there was a bad trend. And then my dad said, here, I'm going to give you this, and if you total this, you're taking the bus. And he gave me a Chevette. Nice.

And I totaled that. And so he said, well, welcome to the bus. And I said, to hell with that. So I got to ride the rest of the day of my senior year. But yeah, man, yeah, I went through some. I damn sure did. All right. Hey, let's do this before we run out of time.

We need to do it, man. We really do. Man, this has been a, it just blew my mind. It's been a show, hasn't it? Yeah, it has. Hold on. Corey, it's the worst news you could ever hear. Things just like this make you fear. Lying lunched on a dumb guy's knee. Oh, a big hard fuck drowning some money.

Why you laughing? Why you laughing? This shit ain't funny. Probably isn't funny, and if you laugh, you're going to hell. Man, I got a couple of good ones today that, man, they're tough. I was going to say, go ahead and start up the bus, Pat. Yeah, here we go, man, I got a couple of good ones today that, uh, man, they're, they're, they're tough. I was going to say, go ahead and start up the bus. Yeah, here we go, man.

A routine doctor visit took a very, very unusual turn for a man in his sixties when x-rays revealed his penis was turning to bone, a rare condition called penile ossification. That's right. Doctors found extensive plaque calcification along the length of his organ, making him only one of 40 recorded cases of this condition. Since incredibly rare phenomenon where calcium salts accumulate the tissue forming bone structure. Despite the diagnosis, the patient declined further treatment,

leaving the exact cause of his condition unknown. Well, you know why he declined it. I mean, does it stay like that the whole time then? Yeah, you know why he declined it. No, they're paying money to line up and get on this guy. What are you talking about, man? This guy's probably got porn. He's got an OnlyFans.

I mean, yeah, it's an actual bone. Oh, my God. Oh, wow, yeah. Yeah, I mean, mean yeah he's probably holding on to that duct tape yeah i i'll tell you a crazy story uh i had a someone i know who was in the penitentiary and uh there was there was a guard who went over to an all-female unit and you would think that you know they they you can't be assaulted by a female as a male right right because obviously if the package won't do anything it won't do anything so you're shooting

pull with a rope right uh and and so he was over there well four women attacked him and uh that's how many it took to hold him down apparently three of them while one of them put a pencil so that it would stay that way so they could get their jolly on that's true story man holy yeah can you imagine that i would have been like hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on i i can get this working right this work just hold on yeah no no i got this let me let me let me work it out give me two minutes here you know uh yeah no yeah think about that that hurt didn't it yeah now the the only thing i've heard like that I got this. Let me work it out. Give me two minutes here, you know? Yeah, no. Wow. Yeah, think about that. That hurt, didn't it?

Totally. Yeah, no, the only thing I've heard like that otherwise was I had a buddy of mine. Yeah. I have lots of buddies who've had problems, I guess. But a buddy of mine went to the free clinic because he thought he had an STD. And he probably did. Knowing him, he probably did. But he said that the nurse came out and said, okay, I just need to do a little do a little swab and he's like okay and he said he didn't think anything about it and it's not like

she held it out so but taking her hand and stretch it and said then all of a sudden before you could do anything she comes out with this swab that's like eight inches long goes like you're cleaning a rifle dude said i dropped to my knees. He said I couldn't catch my breath. I said I would have beat her ass. Now you're going to catch a foot or a knee or something on that one, man. But I guess that's what happens when you do stupid stuff. I had a catheter put in when I was 18 from a car wreck. Oh, wow.

And I was unconscious the whole way to the hospital until that catheter got installed. And they said that I sat straight up and tried to leave the building. Yeah, no, I can imagine that. Why wouldn't you? Yeah, that's like, no, not happening. No, it's funny that you had that experience because I went through a similar thing where I had to have surgery on my butt. And apparently when –

That thing sucked. Yeah, no, it was the worst honestly and uh but but apparently when they began to do their thing i tried to get off the table too because i'm like no no even unconscious i know that's a no yeah no i didn't want anything to do with that man uh all right here we go this is a talk about pissed off this lady was the estranged wife of a mississippi man in custody after she shot and killed him outside the courthouse following the conclusion of their divorce proceeding. Yep, that'll do it right there. The shooting happened Tuesday right before 1 p.m.

Pearl River County Chancery Court there in Poplarville. The victim identified as James Saucier, 62. Poplarville. The victim identified as James Saucier, 62. His wife, Tanya, 49, was apprehended after the shooting and is being held in charge of murder. But the attorney said the couple's divorce proceedings had just ended when gunfire broke out. I was handling paperwork when things went crossways. Tanya's attorney said he was walking out of the building when his client opened fire. Basically, I left the courthouse. She opened fire.

I did subdue her, at which point she made threats against me. I administered first aid as best I could. The family, of course, is distraught. But, man, she was prepared for whatever the end was going to be, wasn't she? She could have saved a lot of legal money. Right. That was the game plan.

Yeah, I mean, why don't you shoot him first? Yeah, then we're good. Then you don't have to pay the lawyer until later. He was going to reconcile those irreconcilable blah, blah, blah. Differences? Yeah, differences. Those are definitely irreconcilable. Should have got a pencil.

Yeah, they are. That's right. Should have got a pencil damn it man i know you're still thinking about that aren't you that's horrible it is horrible yeah a cruise ship passenger caught on camera acting unruly died shortly after being detained mike virgil 35 was seen trying to kick down a door on a ship shortly after it left the la terminal the gentleman was drunk and said he was going to kill us. That was another cruise passenger. He started chasing us down the hallway. Wow.

Those are long hallways too. They are very long. You got to have a little endurance to make it down that. They are long, man. Virgil attacked two Royal Caribbean crew members aboard the Navigator of the Seas and was attempting to get down a door to a tower room to get one of them. Dude said, I was kind of scared. I'm stuck in this hallway. He was, you know, yelling profanity, racial slurs. A video showed him shirtless prior to security restraining him with bear or pepper spray,

some zip ties or handcuffs. A family member said he died within an hour of security injecting him with a sedative oh wow yeah uh now they said what happened was not characteristic of him he didn't deserve to die but uh why are you administering sedatives is that common do the police do that i mean you know a lot of the people in the cruise ship. It is different. Different laws apply to a cruise ship. And they're from other countries. So, I mean. I mean, why not just hit him with a trink dart then?

Yeah, he had all the ties and the bear spray. I mean, surely he was. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, yeah, you can subdue him. Why do you have to sedate him too? I mean, they're probably going to lose that one. But international waters may be different yeah different laws there uh speaking of train guns you ever seen uh i think

uh old school's the name of the movie where uh will ferrell and he's like oh man because he shot himself in the neck with the damn thing yeah that's a hilarious scene oh yeah you just shot yourself in the neck with a train you're so funny yeah no that's a great scene i love bill perot who's your favorite comedian man i like will farrell um i don't know that i just have i've been watching a lot of like tick tock comedy and stuff you know with like kill tony yeah oh my god and i could watch that hilarious formula is so brilliant and then the guy that's on there that's always on there the the the black guy i can't remember his name um oh my god he's hilarious right now he has the hilarious but um no i i get on the whole kill tony thing and think that one of the good things about the internet

and one of the good things about TikTok because most of the videos you see on TikTok are just trash. Right. Now, it's very personal to different people because, you know, humor evolves. My son will show me videos on TikTok that he thinks are hilarious, and I look at it and my eyes glaze over. I'm like, that's funny? Explain the joke to me. don't get what it's yeah yeah no it's not funny um but but he feels like it is you know but 90 of the stuff i say i don't care about but the comedy stuff so many people in

comedy matt rife for example who's now doing a movie with owen wilson the movie may suck but he's doing a movie with owen wilson and he's suck but he's doing a movie with owen wilson and he's getting paid to do it that ain't bad he's a good comedian too i mean and a lot of people don't like him but i look at how he it's off the cuff yeah he ad-libs working with the audience now i will say this um if you do that long enough that ad-lib becomes second nature if you are a good comedian but you do have to be a good comedian right and i i agree with you now his stand-up's pretty good uh his crowd work is an a plus right you know he is dynamic when he works with the crowd like that

but i do like his stand-up uh he must have i i guess he somehow pissed off ladies who were all following him he canceled several shows. And he said something or did something or whatever it was in his stand-up that upset people because they showed up to a comedy show thinking it wouldn't be comedy, I guess. You know, you expect when you go to a comedy show, anyone can be, you know, I'm not holding back on anybody. If it offends you, okay.

Yeah, aim to a comedy show. Now, the rule is be 51% funny and 49% offensive. Right. There you go. If you get the formula wrong, you'll mess it up. Yeah. You know, you'll find yourself canceled. Ron White used to be one of my favorite just go-to listeners.

You know, Ron is one of the greatest storytellers. Yes. Because he's a slow burn, but he's a great slow burn. You know, he's one of those that you see the train coming and you jump in front of it. Like, oh, please hit me with this train. I want it, you know. I wasn't drunk in public.

I was drunk in a bar. Yeah. Yeah. What about you, man? Who do you like? I don't know. I mean, kind of the same stuff, but, I mean, you know, all the. You don't like to laugh a lot, do you?

No, not at all. No. But, you know, like Kevin Hart and stuff. I mean, their stuff, you know, something's funny. It's different. You got to have a different mindset. It's hard to argue against Kevin Hart at this point. You know, I liked him from the early days.

His first few stand-up sets were just beyond good. his first few stand-up sets were just beyond good yeah um and look i'm not even mad at him but i can't turn on anything without kevin hart being on it now right you know it doesn't matter if it's a podcast it's a commercial for glad bag hell he's doing reverse mortgages in his 30s you know what i mean i mean uh he's just everywhere and so sometimes you get oversaturated. But so for me, I've had a little too much Kevin Hart now. But his bank account says, no, you ain't. No, you ain't had enough yet because I'm going to keep going. And I don't blame him. I would too.

Look, I'd never turn that machine off. Yeah, exactly. If it's offered to you. No, the ATM steadily spent money out for him. I'm not going to walk away from it, you know. Pat Williams has a few, like, there's just a few things that just stick in my head. I'm not one of those that can remember.

Right. Everybody, like, punchlines and stuff like that. Oh, I do, though. Oh, man, he was talking about, when they were talking about smoking out one day, and he was like, I'm not trying to die today. I got shit to do. No, I know that's sad.

That's a great sad. Cat Williams, to me, is, he and Dane Cook, I know that's sad. That's a great sad. Cat Williams, to me, is he and Dane Cook, I don't care about your opinions on them, don't care what you think about their comedy exactly, but their stage presence is the best in the business. Cat Williams, to me, is number one. He's so dynamic on stage. And he caught a lot of backlash, I guess I'd say,

or both ways, but over that interview that he did. where you know calling people but now a lot of that stuff that he said during that is look man come to light and come true again uh the backlash is fine look at the exposure he got i mean the exposure he got not that people didn't know cat williams they a lot of people knew him but i forgot about it but he wasn't as mainstream yeah right that put his name in everybody's back on the map the most charting video shannon ever had of any episode you know so he broke through uh but his stage presence is just unbelievable you know there's a a bit that he's got where he's talking about a tiger. And if you watch that and watch him play that out, it's one of the best bits you'll ever see

because he's talking about how these people try to jump in the enclosures. And he's talking about how the tiger is like, this is not a drill. But if you watch that, you'll see what I mean about stage presence. It's just unbelievable the amount of energy that he puts into it. Dane Cook was the same way. Now, he's an every guy comment. He's your buddy.

He's like the most evolved version of the drunken buddy. And so some people give him a hard time or call him a bag because he didn't come up the traditional stand-up route. He came up through social media. And I don't know. He's fell off the past few years. I don't know if it's the young girl that he's with that's keeping him dried out or if he just kind of something happened along the way and he didn't have it anymore.

It does happen sometimes. You know a throwback, man, to Andrew Dice Clay. Andrew Dice Clay was a a hilarious comedian but you want to talk about offensive yeah no he was offensive to every degree you could potentially be offensive but you know so was eddie murphy right oh god now nobody thinks about that anymore but eddie murphy like if you watch the stand-up delirious which is probably pound for pound if i'm being honest my favorite of all time, because I grew up, I watched it a billion times as a teenager.

And that's what inspired me to want to do it anyway. But you couldn't tell most of the jokes he told in that set. And walk out alive. You might get murdered on the stage if you did that set. But damn, was it funny, man. Oh, my God. Yeah, but it was a different man oh my god yeah but it was a different time you know it was definitely a different time yeah yeah uh let me mention real quickly that if you do need a roof uh please check out titanroofingcompany.com those guys over there are amazing they give a 10-year transferable warranty that's what's going to matter that's what you're
